60s: I have a store

Chapter 290 Three Little Ones Enter the City

Lai Cai whispered, "Brother, can you take us to the city to hide for a few days? Otherwise, my father will beat us to death."

They didn't think things would be so serious. They just wanted to roast a rat, so why did it turn out like this?

Zhou Yimin shook his head: "If you want to go to the city normally, I can take you there, but if you want to go to the city just to escape, then I won't take you into the city."

He didn't want his younger brothers and sisters to become people who wanted to escape when encountering problems, but to become people who stand tall and upright.

When Lai Fu and Lai Cai heard Zhou Yimin's words, the hope that had just been ignited was shattered.

The team leader supported Zhou Anxu, and Zhou Yimin took the four boys to the village.

The news of Zhou Anxu's injury spread quickly in the village, and the "glorious" deeds of the four boys were also spread.

The two brothers Lai Fu and Lai Cai were taken directly home by their third aunt and given a severe scolding.

Originally, the two brothers wanted to hide in Zhou Yimin's house, but before they even got there, they were stopped by their third aunt and taken back home.

"Brother, do you want to come to our house?" Lai Cai refused to give up.

If the eldest brother could go with them, their mother might not beat him for Zhou Yimin's sake.

"I have to go back to entertain Brother Xu, so I won't go."

After saying this, Zhou Yimin left quickly, fearing that he would be implicated if he was late.

Moreover, these two boys must learn a lesson and remember it deeply.

Seeing Zhou Yimin walking away, the two brothers Lai Fu and Lai Cai could only follow their mother back dejectedly.

Before I returned home, I saw Lai Fang and Zhou Xuqiang standing at the door, and Zhou Xuqiang was holding a rattan stick in his hand.

Lai Fang whispered, "Big brother, second brother, you are in trouble. You ate roasted rats but didn't even call me."

Then he stepped aside and let his dad fire.

Zhou Xuqiang picked up the two brothers, Lai Fu and Lai Cai, one in each hand, and brought them in. He then beat them hard with a cane: "Let's see if you dare to do it again next time."

Lai Fu and Lai Cai, who had not yet reacted, were severely whipped several times. They finally reacted and begged for mercy: "Dad! We won't dare to do it again. Please don't hit us anymore."

If they still don't admit their mistakes at this time, they will only be beaten more severely. This is the experience they have gained from being beaten countless times.

Zhou Xuqiang whipped him a few more times before putting down the cane.

After teaching the child a lesson, he took a bottle of bulk liquor from home and walked towards Zhou Anxu's house.

He usually wouldn't drink even bulk liquor, but now he has to give it away, and he feels like his heart is bleeding.

But there was no other way. Zhou Anxu was injured while saving his two sons, so it was only right and reasonable to give him something.

After much thought, the only thing that can be offered is bulk liquor.

As for the other two little guys, they certainly could not escape blame and were also beaten by their families. The villagers also asked the families of these four boys to set up a guard shed so that they would not be punished too much.

When Zhou Yimin returned home, he saw Xu Xiangbei already sitting at the table. It looked like the meal was ready and he was waiting for him. He then said, "I'm sorry, something went wrong and I'm late."

"Let's eat!" The old man saw Zhou Yimin coming back and didn't ask why.

This meal can be said to be quite rich, with two meat dishes alone, stir-fried pork belly with chili and stewed duck with abalone.

Xu Xiangbei ate at Zhou Yimin's house, and he was very full every meal, after all, the dishes were always very hard.

"Brother Xu, how long will it take to complete this reservoir?" Zhou Yimin asked.

Xu Xiangbei thought for a moment and replied, "According to the current progress, it will take at least two or three months." If Zhoujiazhuang didn't have a lot of manpower and everyone worked very hard, it would take even longer.

Zhou Yimin nodded after hearing this. It seemed that the time was about the same as the initial estimate.

After the two chatted for a while, Xu Xiangbei was about to say goodbye. After all, as an engineer, he still had a lot of things to deal with, so it was quite difficult for him to spare so much time to come to Zhoujiazhuang.

Zhou Yimin prepared some more things, and then said, "Brother Xu, here are some dried seafood, don't be disgusted!"

Two dried sea fishes, some dried abalone, dried scallops and other dried goods.

After seeing these things, Xu Xiangbei wanted to refuse, but finally he couldn't resist and accepted them.

Zhou Yimin was satisfied when he saw Xu Xiangbei accept it, and waved his hand and said, "Brother Xu, be careful on the road."

Xu Xiangbei also waved and rode away on his bike.

Feeling a little sleepy after eating and drinking, Zhou Yimin wanted to take a nap to replenish his energy.

Just at this moment, three small figures ran straight in.

Zhou Yimin saw that the brothers Lai Fu and Lai Cai had many red marks on their bodies. He knew at a glance that they had been beaten a lot. After seeing this, he took out some candies from his pocket and said, "Come here and have some candies."

When he heard that there was candy to eat, he didn't care about the pain in his body and ran to Zhou Yimin, especially Lai Cai, and flattered him.

Zhou Yimin gave each of them three White Rabbit candies and asked, "Do you want to go into the city to play?"

It's been so long since he came back, but he seems to have never brought the three of them into the city. He just took this opportunity to bring them into the city to have some fun, just to give them a sweet treat.

"Brother, are you telling the truth?" Lai Cai asked excitedly.

That's going to the city to play! No children in the village have ever been there to play!

Lai Fu: "Brother, didn't you say you wouldn't take us to the city?"

Zhou Yimin explained: "I didn't take you into the city just now because I didn't want you to become the kind of people who would run away when faced with problems. I'm taking you into the city now because..."

"Are you going or not?" Zhou Yimin was too lazy to explain to them.

"Go, of course, thank you, brother!"

I was afraid that my brother would regret it if it was too late.

Lai Fu and Lai Fang were also very excited.

"Okay, I'll go talk to your mother and then take you into the city." Zhou Yimin said.

He pushed his bicycle and the three little ones followed quickly.

After arriving at his third aunt's house, Zhou Yimin told her what happened.

Third Auntie warned: "You must not cause trouble to your eldest brother, understand? Otherwise, when you come back, you will know what it feels like."

The three little ones were obviously frightened by Auntie's words. They had some little thoughts in mind, but they dared not think about them anymore.

In this way, Zhou Yimin took the three little ones to the city.

Lai Fu held Lai Fang and sat on the back seat. Fortunately, the back seat of bicycles is quite large nowadays, so it is no problem for two children to sit on it. Lai Cai then sat on the iron seat in front.

The three little ones saw that everyone was saying that their eldest brother took them to the city to play, and he was very high-profile, which made many people envious, especially the little ones.
