Chapter 1230: Long Stay at the Old Home 4
Zhou Fengchun patted his shoulder, "Alright, alright, Xiaoyun, you are a man. Why have you become a young girl? Only young girls cry so delicately, and no amount of consoling will do!"
"Little sister!" Xibao suddenly thought of Fubao.
Lu’s father touched the top of his grandson’s head and said to Zhao Xiaoyun, "Xiaoyun, quickly help your Grandfather Zhou into the house for a meal. The busy farming season is right in front of us, and there is plenty of work at our Wanglou Brigade. We won’t have a moment’s rest. We’ll need to work after eating; without food, how will we have the energy to work?"
"Can we do less?" Zhao Xiaoyun felt even more heartbroken when he heard that Zhou Fengchun would still have to work despite his injury.
"We’d raise suspicions if we don’t work, and there are those in Wanglou Brigade with ill intentions," Guan Cheng thought of Wang Xinlai and his family, who made everyone uneasy. "Uncle Grandfather often has me supervise these elderly people at work. Don’t worry, I’ll try to arrange some lighter tasks for Grandfather Zhou so that his injury won’t worsen."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyun bowed deeply to Guan Cheng.
"Thank you, Brother Acheng, meeting you all is the greatest fortune I could have."
"No need for such formalities between brothers. Let’s eat, and eat quickly!" Guan Cheng took out the freshly baked scallion pancakes and a jar of sweet potato porridge. "Xibao, it’s time to eat; your favorite scallion pancakes."
"Thank you, Brother Acheng!"
After eating, Wang Zhengguo indeed called on Guan Cheng to lead the group of elders off to work, twenty-some in number, a rather impressive sight.
While they were well-meaning, their crimes were indisputable, and most men and women below middle age still avoided them, fearing trouble, and quickly led their curious children away.
