Chapter 523: Robbed (Fifth Update)
“Now when I mention him, I feel guilty.
But what can I do? His great contribution is to the motherland. I am so old and I have been with him for less than a year. Even if I say it, how much real affection do I have?
Most of the time, I actually blame him.
My mother does all the housework alone. Although my grandmother's house is next door, my two uncles have their own homes. They can't be on call 24 hours a day, right?
My mother left all the good food and clothes for me. Alas, I really wanted to join the army early, work hard to get promoted, and take my mother over to enjoy a good life, so I deliberately didn't study hard. But she never gave up her plan to let me enter a military academy.
How many years will it take for me to truly take care of the family?"
Di Guoliang scratched his head and sighed, "My mother is very stubborn and strong-willed.
I'm really afraid that she will stay with me forever.
The leaders all said that men and women are equal, so why let my father and I delay and drag her down?
I advised her to find a stepfather for me, as long as the stepfather can accept me and treat her well. "
Zhong Kangle was moved after hearing this, and he briefly explained to Di Guoliang what his father had told him about the two elders, "Brother Liangzi, we are both people who have lost something in our families, and it's a good opportunity for us to form a complete family again.
I have a mother and you have a father, and our parents keep each other company to make up for the shortcomings of our early years.
Let's live happily together as a family, okay?"
Di Guoliang looked at Zhong Kangle seriously: "Is your father really that good? Did my mother agree?"
"My father is naturally very good," Zhong Kangle nodded vigorously, "I am watching him. If he treats mother badly, I will be the first one to object. I will make him leave the house with nothing!"
Di Guoliang laughed and said, "Okay, I believe my mother, and I also believe my brother."
The two young boys couldn't help but start to imagine the future. No matter what, studying hard is the most important thing. Now they have almost no worries, and all they have to do is work hard and get into a good university.
"Brother, I did well in the exam this time, and I won a bicycle from your stepfather! Haha, when we go back, we can each get one and ride to school in the city!"
Originally he was thinking of leaving the bicycle to his poor little brother Zhong Kangle as a surprise, but they were about to become a family, so naturally he had to take the bicycle back home.
Zhong Kangle couldn't help but smile after hearing this. Whenever he thought about the expressions of his biological mother and stepfather, he felt much better.
There was no other way. For four years, he had been too depressed every day, locked in his room and doing odd jobs. In fact, if you calculate carefully, the money he earned in these years could buy five or six bicycles, right?
The two young boys turned a blind eye to the affair between Zhong Changcun and Wei Linjing.
However, in this era, even if the two of them had broken the window paper, it was impossible for them to be together all the time like lovers in later generations. At most, they could find a serious excuse to meet for a date every three to five days.
For example, during the Chinese New Year, Zhong Changcun came to Xiaoshi Village to give a holiday gift to his cousin who had come from a faraway place. He also chatted with Brother Wei on the way and stayed at Wei's house for lunch, which was considered as him meeting the girl's parents.
For the first formal visit with the intention of getting married, Zhong Changcun was dressed very formally but not out of place. He wore a blue workwear-style jacket and had a freshly cut haircut, which made him look very smart. He also wore short boots.
His facial features are deep and charming, and the slightest movement of his eyebrows and lips is full of aggression. He is simply a walking hormone.
Along the way, I was often stared at by young girls, young wives, and even aunts and grandmothers.
Add to that his respectable attire, and the fact that there are rumors in the two villages about his newly built compound and the money he is making, and now that he is single, he is a hot commodity!
Zhong Changcun tied two large boxes on the back of his bicycle to block their view. After entering the Wei family's yard, he took them out one by one with a smile.
Two cans of malted milk, six bags of milk powder, ten pounds of sausages, a pair of live chickens, a pair of live fish, a pair of live ducks, ten pounds of pork, ten pounds of ribs, ten pounds of beef, ten pounds of mutton, two barrels of ten pounds of peanut oil, a bag of fifty pounds of flour, a bag of fifty pounds of rice, a bag of twenty pounds of millet and twenty pounds of miscellaneous grains!
"Good man, Brother Zhong, did you rob the grain and oil store?" The two brothers of the Wei family asked in amazement.
The two sisters-in-law of the Wei family looked at their sister-in-law teasingly and whispered, "Such a generous gift is rare in the city. It shows that the future brother-in-law cares about me very much.
It’s hard to find such honest people nowadays.”
Wei Linjing's face turned red with shame, and her look as she glared at Zhong Changcun was full of coquettishness.
Zhong Changcun's eyes dimmed, and he smiled and said, "It's not much. I've owed you festival gifts for more than ten years, so I'll give you as much as I can."
Looking at the much more mature and steady man, Old Mrs. Wei and Old Man Wei were both pleased but also felt helpless about their fate in the past few years.
The big guy just lowered his voice slightly, and then warmly welcomed the person into the house.
Zhong Kangle sat next to his father with admiration, helping to serve tea and cakes.
Zhong Changcun certainly hadn't forgotten his son. He smiled and handed over the bulging backpack, "Give it to your brothers and sisters."
Zhong Kangle responded with a hmm, grabbed his bag and called the Wei children out.
The children were young and loved to run and jump and were not afraid of the cold. They hugged him and went to the stone platform under the tree.
Zhong Kangle opened the bag, which contained bags of food.
He was not stingy, he smiled and waved his hand and said: "This is what my father gave us, everyone has a share, let's divide it equally, go back and get a bag to hold it."
Because of the adults' warm attitude, and the children also knew that Zhong Changcun was their future uncle-in-law, they were all polite. Both the older and younger children came over and waited eagerly with handkerchiefs, scarves, tablecloths, small bags, etc.
There are beautiful, small fruit candies in various colors, White Rabbit milk candies, shrimp candies, several kinds of chocolate candies, and various nuts, biscuits, and milk tablets.
Everyone got two full cups, and of course Zhong Kangle also kept some for Di Guoliang.
During the distribution process, the children were all very excited, with pure joy and great interest in this matter.
Then they hid everything like little mice, preparing to slowly digest it over the next six months and then go out to play and show off to their friends.
So they only put three or two candies in their pockets, sat in a row under the eaves, and tasted the candies with smiles on their eyes. The atmosphere was so lively that the adults were also filled with joy.
Zhong Changcun controlled his temper and answered the Wei family's questions in detail with a smile, allowing them to feel at ease and hand over their youngest daughter to him.
The Wei family is quite satisfied with him. The most important thing is that Wei Linjing is willing, and Zhong Changcun is also outstanding in all aspects. Even if he has to take care of a child, Zhong Kangle is also an obedient, sensible and filial child.
As for the child’s biological mother, she is already married with children and no longer poses any threat.
