Chapter 367 Who cares about this
The new street in Beishan County is officially called Xing'an Street. Zuo Datou and his men dug the foundation before winter had set in.
On the planned land, people across the county were busy.
Even though we are busy, everything is in order. It is clear who does what, who is assigned to what group, and who manages it.
After getting along for the past two years, there has been a tacit understanding between the county government and the people.
By September 20th, the weather was getting colder and colder.
The life of the gamblers who were chopping firewood in Xishan became increasingly difficult. They were cold and hungry every day, and had endless work to do. If their hands moved a little slower, there would be whips waving next to them. After a few days, these gamblers It was like taking off a layer of skin.
Zheng Linsheng looked a bit pitiful now. He was carrying firewood in his hands and humming constantly. He had lived to this age, so he knew what suffering felt like.
I don't know when this kind of life will end. Thinking about it, he might as well die, but if he really wanted to die, he would never dare.
As a result, he complained in his heart to Zheng Jiasheng, blaming him for not being able to save him. Of course, he didn't know that Zheng Jiasheng wanted to use his daughter to exchange his heart. He just imagined the good life of Zheng Jiasheng lying at home. The more he imagined it, the more resentful he became. His second brother.
However, no matter what he was thinking, the people around him didn't care. The inmates just wanted to steal his food, and the government officials didn't even look at him seriously.
He was filled with sorrow here, but elsewhere he was filled with joy as his relatives reunited.
"Lao San! Lao San!" Zeng Dashu recognized Zeng Lao San pushing the cart in the crowd before he even got close.
When Zeng Laosan heard this voice, he also waved to him and responded loudly, "Brother!"
"Oh, it's the boss's voice." Mrs. Zeng wiped her tears happily. When she saw her son running over, she quickly rushed to meet him.
Finally, mother and son stood face to face. They had not seen each other for almost a year. Mrs. Zeng tried hard to see the person in front of her clearly.
"Mom!" Zeng Dashu firmly held the hand that Mrs. Zeng stretched out towards him. At this glance, he could see that his mother was much older. "Are you in good health?"
"Okay!" Mrs. Zeng nodded, "I'm fine."
The touching scene of mother and son's reunion didn't last long. A voice from the side intervened: "Why don't you see your sister-in-law and hide from your husband's family?"
As soon as Chi Chunmei spoke, the smile on Zeng Dashu's face instantly disappeared.
"Second sister-in-law." Zeng Laosan put down the cart in his hand, "If you have the strength, don't use it in your mouth and come and push the cart."
Chi Chunmei rolled her eyes at Zeng Laosan. Although she said nothing, her expression made people angry.
Zeng Dashu didn't respond or say hello to her. He just ignored Chi Chunmei and patted Zeng Laosan with one hand. "Lao San, thank you for your hard work all the way here."
After finishing speaking, he nodded towards the last Zeng Laoer, "Second brother."
Zeng Laoer's face looked bad. He didn't know whether he was tired or felt uncomfortable.
Zeng Dashu didn't care, but bent down to push the car for Zeng Laosan, "I will take you to the registration place. When you get there, the Yamen will arrange a temporary house for you and give you dinner. There is no need to start cooking today. It’s time to eat.”
"It's great!" Zeng Laosan said with a smile: "Such a good thing happened just after I got here."
"It was the same when we came here. Not only did we have dinner, but the place where we stayed was also equipped with hot water, firewood, and lamp oil. Although it's not much, it's great that the yamen can take care of us ordinary people."
Seeing that his mother wanted to help push the cart, Zeng Dashu quickly advised: "Mom, I can push it. There is not much way left. Ask my third child to help you go."
Sure enough, they didn't walk long before they arrived in front of a row of mud houses. This was a row of quite long mud houses. At a glance, it was hard to tell how many doors there were.
Soon a policeman came over, asked them about their situation, and looked at the road signs in their hands. Then they saw that the policeman had written twice on their road map, stamped it, and pointed them to a house casually, " Stay in that house, keep the guide carefully, and hand it over to the Yamen later." Zeng Laosan hurriedly stretched the guide forward, "I'll give it to you now."
"No, no." Before the officer could speak, Zeng Dashu explained: "This officer is only responsible for checking the situation, and the road guide will be handed over to other officers."
The government official opposite knew Zeng Dashu, "Is this your family member?"
"Yes, my mother and my two brothers."
"With you here, it saves me the trouble. I can take care of it myself." The officer patted Zeng Dashu on the shoulder and left.
Zeng Laosan was curious, "Brother, do you know the errand boy just now?"
"After all, I've been here for almost a year, and I always feel familiar. Let's go."
After being led into the house by them, Madam Zeng touched the stove and it was still hot. She opened the lid and saw a pot full of hot water. There was a small dish of lamp oil on the stove and a bundle of firewood beside it.
What his son said before was indeed present in this room.
"Mom, second child, younger brother and sister, you guys come in and take a break. We'll meet you later and I'll take the third child there."
"Hey!"
Before the three of them entered the inner room, Zeng Laoer said, "There is only so much space inside, how can we live there? The third child is already this old, so he can't sleep in the same room with his sister-in-law."
"The temporary house is not enough, and the whole family can only be allocated one room." Boss Zeng kindly thought of a way, "If it is really inconvenient, the third child can live in my house."
Just when Chi Chunmei was about to speak, Zeng Laosan said: "No! I can just sleep outside. When I first got here, it would be great to have a room like this that can keep out the wind and rain."
"You sleep outside?" Zeng Laoer said with disapproval on his face, "Once the door is closed, who outside will know where you sleep?"
Zeng Laosan didn't get angry and replied, "It's okay if you know.
If you really want your reputation, you can ask your second sister-in-law to sleep outside. Everyone can see where and how she sleeps. ”
"You!" Zeng Lao Er angrily wanted to hit him, but Zeng Lao Niang in the middle stopped him.
Zeng Laosan snorted coldly, "You are dirty inside yourself, and everyone else is dirty. Who cares about this!"
Mrs. Zeng pretended to hit him twice, "Stop talking!"
Zeng Laoer's face turned red with anger, and he held it in for a long time before saying: "Okay, you've grown up, can you bully me now?"
"I bullied you? It's so unconscionable to say this. Did you push that cart of things? Did I sit in the car and let you push it on the way?"
"Stop talking! Stop talking!" What annoyed Mrs. Zeng the most was Zeng Laosan's mouth.
The family had just arrived and before they had time to take a break, they started to quarrel.
Boss Zeng now sees clearly that it was the second child who caused the problem, and the third child will naturally retaliate if he doesn't take advantage of his words.
No one wanted to bully the second child, but the second child just felt that he was being bullied, and he was justified in being weak.
Zeng Lao Er sat on the kang, looking like everyone owed him. Zeng Lao San ignored him and walked out with Zeng Dashu with the road guide.
"I'm really annoyed by him." Zeng Laosan said to Zeng Laosan, "If I get married in the future, I will never associate with him."
