In the evening, Zhou Yang, who was busy in the kitchen, suddenly heard a sound outside.
He leaned out and took a look, and found that it was Li Youwei who was back, holding Bao'er in her arms who was chattering non-stop.
Seeing that Li Youwei was struggling, Zhou Yang immediately said to Bao'er: "Girl, come down and walk by yourself. Mom has been working in the fields for a day and is already very tired!"
Bao'er was obviously unwilling to leave his mother's warm and comfortable arms, and said a little stubbornly: "No, Bao'er likes to be hugged by his mother!"
While saying that, the little girl deliberately made faces at Zhou Yang!
Li Youwei said with a smile: "She is only three years old, she is not overweight, and it is not difficult to hold her!"
Zhou Yang shook his head and did not dwell on this issue. Instead, he said: "Just spoil her and wash your hands quickly. Dinner is already ready!"
Li Youwei immediately brought Bao'er to the small water tank under the eaves, scooped half a basin of water warmed by the sun, and the mother and daughter started washing up.
While the two were washing their hands, Zhou Yang brought the prepared dinner to the small table in the yard.
It was really hot in the house, so the family ate in the yard during this time.
When the mother and daughter arrived at the dinner table, they were stunned by the sumptuous dinner in front of them.
Braised pork and potatoes, cold bitter vegetables, tomato and egg soup, the staple food is white rice!
Even though they ate refined grains every day during this period, such a sumptuous dinner still made the mother and daughter swallow their saliva.
"Mom, you are so meaty!" Bao'er said in a milky voice.
"Well, dad made Bao'er's favorite braised pork, so what should Bao'er say?" Li Youwei took the opportunity to start her daily education.
"Thank you dad!"
Zhou Yang happened to come over with bowls and chopsticks. When he heard his daughter's soft voice, he suddenly felt that the fatigue of the afternoon was gone. All the efforts were worth it at this moment!
"Bao'er is so polite, I'll reward you with an extra piece of meat!" Zhou Yang said while serving rice.
Li Youwei took the bowl filled with white rice from Zhou Yang and couldn't help but ask: "How can you make it so rich today if it's not out of season or seasonal?"
"You're greedy, aren't you?"
"Okay, whatever you say will happen!" Li Youwei said with a smile.
Zhou Yang smiled and explained: "I received my royalties today, so I plan to celebrate!"
"Really, how much does it cost?" Li Youwei asked happily.
Zhou Yang immediately took out a bankbook from his jacket pocket, handed it to Li Youwei's hand, and said, "See for yourself!"
Li Youwei took the passbook with excitement and opened it carefully!
"Hiss, so many?"
"A total of 326, and there are a lot of bills! I saved the whole number and spent the odd amount!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "In addition, when I went through the discharge procedures for Brother Yan today, the hospital gave me another 46 yuan. I put the receipt and the remaining money into the jar where you usually put money!"
Li Youwei said happily: "It's great that my family finally has some savings!"
After saying that, Li Youwei placed the bankbook in front of Zhou Yang.
However, Zhou Yang did not accept it, but put it into Li Youwei's hand again!
"what?"
"You keep the passbook, and the financial power of our family will be handed over to you!"
"I...I don't dare to take care of so much money!"
Although she was happy, Li Youwei still didn't dare to take it. She knew that she had a soft temper and was really not suitable for managing money.
"This little money is not much. There will be more money for you to take care of in the future. Take it!"
With that said, Zhou Yang stuffed the bankbook directly into Li Youwei's pocket, showing his attitude with practical actions.
"Okay then, just tell me when you want to use the money!" Li Youwei said with some emotion.
Zhou Yang nodded, and then said: "Well, let me tell you also, I bought a lot of rice, flour, grains and oil today!"
"But I left some for Brother Yan, sent half a bag of noodles to my old house, and bought two bottles of better wine for dad!"
Hearing that her man actually sent half a bag of noodles to her mother's family and good wine to her father, Li Youwei suddenly felt as if she had been wiped with honey.
She didn't care about the value of the things Zhou Yang gave to Laozhai, but she cared about his attitude.
It is said that people love their homes as much as they love them. This act of giving something to the old house can completely prove that he really likes her!
"It's so kind of you..."
However, just when the relationship between the two seemed to be heating up, the courtyard door was pushed open, and then a girl was seen walking in.
The two of them took a closer look and found that it was Shen Chenlu!
Seeing Shen Chenlu, Li Youwei's face flashed unnaturally.
Although Shen Chenlu had told her that she had decided to quit, Li Youwei knew that Shen Chenlu did not give up willingly, and she could not let go of her man in her heart.
For such a potential threat, Li Youwei was afraid from the bottom of her heart!
Zhou Yang didn't feel anything special. After giving Li Youwei a reassuring look, he stood up on his own initiative.
"Why are you here? Have you eaten?"
This was the first time Zhou Yang saw Shen Chenlu after Hou San's kidnapping incident. Compared with the last time they met, Zhou Yang felt that she was thinner.
And her mental state doesn't seem to be very good either, she looks sickly!
"After eating...Brother Zhou, I have a few words to say to you, is that okay?" Shen Chenlu said with some anxiety.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that these words seemed to be easily misunderstood, and then said to Li Youwei: "Sister Weiwei... no... sister-in-law, in fact, I came to say goodbye to Brother Yang today, don't say too much think!"
Li Youwei nodded, and then said to Bao'er: "Mom, take you to take a bath, let dad and Aunt Shen talk for a while!"
After Li Youwei left with Bao'er in her arms, Zhou Yang stared at Shen Chenlu and said, "Ready to leave?"
"Well, my dad applied for medical withdrawal for me, and the capital has approved it!" Shen Chenlu said in a low voice.
"It's okay to go back, this place is really not suitable for a girl like you!"
Shen Chenlu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm actually not afraid of hardship, but now I have no reason to stay!"
Zhou Yang wanted to say sorry. After all, such a beautiful girl traveled thousands of miles to come here to find him, and stayed in this remote place for four years. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved.
But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.
The harm Shen Zhenguo brought to the Zhou family was really too great. It would be an exaggeration to say that the family was destroyed.
Now, let alone the friendship between the two families, they are completely incompatible with each other, and their hatred is as deep as the ocean.
Under such circumstances, how could I accept Shen Chenlu?
"Brother Yang, I'm sorry!" Shen Chenlu said biting her lip.
Originally, she did not believe that her father would do such a disgraceful thing, but her father's series of reactions after receiving her letter proved that he was closely related to the disaster of Uncle Zhou's family.
Therefore, before leaving, she wanted to say sorry on behalf of her father.
However, Zhou Yang said calmly: "I have said before, you are you, and Shen Zhenguo is Shen Zhenguo. I will not hate you, but I will not forgive him either!"
"Brother Yang..."
Zhou Yang directly raised his hand to interrupt Shen Chenlu's words, and then asked: "When are you leaving?"
"The commune and the county have already approved it. The procedures can be completed by Friday at the latest, but I plan to wait until Xiaoyue gets married before leaving!" Shen Chen said.
"Liang Yue is getting married, who?" Zhou Yang asked in surprise.
"Captain Chen's second son Chen Gang!"
"Chen Gang? Haven't you heard that the two of them are in love before?"
"I don't know the specific situation, but Xiaoyue suddenly came back two days ago and said that she wanted to marry Chen Gang, and we didn't know about it!" Shen Chen said.
After hearing the news, Zhou Yang felt uncomfortable for some reason.
However, he did not dwell on this matter. Instead, he said to Shen Chenlu: "Let me know before you leave, and I will see you off if I have time!"
"Well! Brother Yang..."
Seeing that Shen Chenlu's eyes were full of tears and her voice was trembling, Zhou Yang immediately stopped her and said calmly: "Go back!"
Shen Chenlu knew that they could not go back to the past, so she nodded immediately, turned around and ran towards the door, leaving only tears along the way!
