Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Seeing her younger brother, Zhou Rong forced a smile: "Bingkun, I'm back."

Zhou Bingkun excitedly stepped forward and tightly grasped Zhou Rong's arm: "Sister, you are really back? This is not a dream, right?"

Zhou Rong wanted to explain, but Zhou Bingkun didn't wait for her to open her mouth. He ran back home happily and shouted loudly: "Mom, my sister is back, my sister is back!"

Zhou Rong looked at her brother's back, feeling mixed emotions. She wanted to call him, but eventually gave up the idea. Her return could not be hidden from anyone, and someone would come to her house to inquire about her even before nightfall.

She looked back at Li Weidong, wanting to invite him in to sit down and have a drink of water. With him around, the neighbors' gossip might subside a little. However, before she could open her mouth, Li Weidong had already started the car and slowly drove away.

Zhou Rong bit her lips tightly, and a feeling of resentment rose in her heart. Li Weidong, did he just walk away like this? After all, she was a famous prostitute with a lot of suitors. Zhou Rong was indeed a stingy person. Thinking back on her recent experiences, her resentment towards Li Weidong became stronger.

She made up her mind to be admitted to Jingcheng University and try to be assigned to where Li Weidong worked after graduation. Then, let's see how he faces her!

"A-choo, A-choo!" Li Weidong sneezed several times in the car.

Niu Meng beside him asked worriedly: "Master, are you okay?"

Li Weidong sniffed: "It's okay, maybe I have a cold."

"Do you want to find a doctor to prescribe some medicine?"

"No, it's nothing, just drink some hot water."

Before this, they drank cold water all the way, which was okay in the summer but a bit unbearable in the winter.

He had to ask Fatty Yu to get some thermos cups, he didn't remember if they had them. If not, he would make one himself, the principle was very simple.

In this way, they came to Jichun Machinery Factory without noticing. The factory had long known that the steel factory where Li Weidong worked was quite famous in Kyoto. As a brother unit, they naturally did not dare to neglect it. Who knows, one day, they might need each other's help.

The reception staff first warmly entertained Li Weidong and Niu Meng, and then arranged accommodation for them. Considering that they had traveled a long distance, they certainly couldn't let them return empty-handed, at least they had to let them recover their energy.

Although they knew their identities, the reception staff still checked the introduction letters according to procedures before guiding them to the guesthouse. The guesthouse was not located in the factory area, but on the street, and often received employees from other factories on business trips.

There is a small door on the east side of the guesthouse gate, which is used for vehicles carrying water and cleaning toilets. The gate has five stone steps. Stepping on the stone steps, you can see two peeling vermilion gates with a stone pier on each side, giving people the feeling that this place was once a wealthy family.

The courtyard is a three-story building with a floor paved with blue bricks. On the east side of the first courtyard are two south-facing houses with mats made of sorghum stalks.

"Master Li, our room is in the backyard." The receptionist led them to the backyard, where the conditions were obviously better, with thick quilts covering the heated kang.

Li Weidong and Niu Meng were each assigned a room. They took their meal tickets and had a simple meal in the canteen in the front yard, then fell asleep, giving their tired bodies a full rest.

Li Weidong did feel a little tired after driving for too long. However, just as he was sleeping, the Zhou family was caught in a **. As a senior third-tier engineer, Zhou Zhigang, with his two excellent children, naturally became the object of people's envy.

Although Zhou Bingkun is the last of the three brothers and is slightly inferior to his elder brothers and sisters, he may inherit Zhou Zhigang's career and make great achievements in the future. It is not easy for the Zhou family to have some interesting things happen, so people will naturally not miss the opportunity to join in the fun.

Chunyan's mother from the neighborhood committee had come to maintain order and tried to persuade the neighbors who were watching to leave, but the effect was not obvious. Those people claimed to be here to see Li Sufen, and under the guise of concern, could she really drive them away?

If she really wanted to drive him away, then it would be a complete fallout. Zhou Bingyi watched from the side and wanted to intervene several times, but he finally restrained himself. Although he usually had many ideas and seemed to have his own opinions, he was actually timid and cowardly, and would only choose to compromise when faced with problems.

In contrast, the youngest brother Zhou Bingkun clenched his fists and stared at the uninvited visitors with a determined look. No one took him seriously. Even the Zhou family didn't pay much attention to him, let alone outsiders.

Zhou Rong sat on the chair, her face expressionless, no matter how others asked, she always remained silent. Some people with ill intentions secretly speculated in their hearts, is it possible that the daughter of the Zhou family was treated unfairly in Beijing? After all, she was riding in a truck with a Beijing license plate.

Zhou Zhigang was somewhat famous in Guangzi, but once he left this place, who would recognize him? I had never heard that he had any backers in Beijing.

Really? The person whose guess was confirmed looked at Zhou Rong with a weird look in his eyes. She usually thought highly of herself and had a disdainful attitude, but now she was tarnished. What was the use of more knowledge? It was useless at the critical moment.

Tsk tsk, it will be very difficult for the daughter of the Zhou family to find a partner. But this is all her own fault! Seeing the saliva-flying discussions gradually becoming more and more intense, and even saying some rude words, Zhou Bingkun finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhou Bingkun was hot-tempered, so he took off his army green coat and prepared to find a stick to teach them a lesson. However, before he could do anything, a roar suddenly came from outside, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What are you doing? I want you to leave, but you are still staying here one after another. Do you want to have fun? We are all neighbors. We see each other every day. Can't we care about each other? Do you want to laugh at others? You are disgusting and dirty! Get out of here right now. Whoever dares to stay here will be in trouble! You know where my home is. You can ignore it, but you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"

The person who cursed was Zhou Rong's loyal pursuer Cai Xiaoguang. Cai Xiaoguang was a famous cadre's son in Jichun City, and his father Cai Tingkai was the head of the Commerce Department. Those neighbors who came to join in the fun were so scared by his curses that they cowered.

Chunyan's mother, a member of the neighborhood committee, not only did not stop him, but applauded and sighed, "Xiao Cai is right. Are you guys bored? Do you really think the Zhou family is easy to bully? Think about it, the Zhou family's eldest son has such excellent academic performance, it's only a matter of time for him to go to college. When he graduates and works, if he is assigned to our Guangzi block or your job, will you be happy? Get out of here and stop making trouble!"

After Cai Xiaoguang and Chunyan's stern rebuke, the neighbors suddenly realized what was going on and left in disgrace. Zhou Bingyi heaved a sigh of relief when everyone in the house had left. If these guys had continued to stay, he didn't know how to deal with them.

Zhou Bingkun excitedly ran to Cai Xiaoguang and said, "Brother Xiaoguang, thanks to you, otherwise I would have wanted to drive them away with a stick!" Cai Xiaoguang smiled and patted Zhou Bingkun on the shoulder, glanced at Zhou Bingyi from the corner of his eye, and thought silently in his heart. Although he loved Zhou Rong deeply and was willing to be a dog, he was very clear in his mind. Faced with the problem, it turned out that Zhou Bingkun, who was usually ignored, was able to solve the problem, while Zhou Bingyi, who was placed with high hopes, stood by and watched, incompatible with the family.

Cai Xiaoguang just recalled these thoughts silently in his mind, and soon gave up. He asked Zhou Bingkun: "Have you contacted your uncle?" Zhou Bingkun nodded and replied: "My father has gone back to **. He said he would get off at the next station and rush back."

"How is Auntie doing?" "Just resting, those people are too much, they all say they are concerned, but they are actually here for fun, and made my mother cry," Zhou Bingkun said, his hands clenched tightly, his face full of anger. Then, he suddenly turned around and asked Zhou Bingyi: "Brother, why didn't you say anything just now?" Zhou Bingyi faced his brother's questioning with a stiff expression, hesitantly explained: "We are all neighbors, it's not convenient for me to talk."

"But they made my mother cry!" Zhou Bingyi sighed and said, "Maybe they just did something wrong with good intentions."

Hearing his elder brother defending these unrespectable neighbors, Zhou Bingkun looked at him in disbelief. Is this still the elder brother he remembered?

When Zhou Rong heard this, she just glanced at Zhou Bingyi indifferently without making any comments. Although she was favored at home, she was very cold to her family, and she did not show any emotional concern for her mother, Li Sufen, who was sick because of her absence. She was silent after returning home, as if she was thinking about something.

Cai Xiaoguang witnessed the situation of the Zhou family and began to regret not being able to resist Zhou Rong's request and promised to buy a ticket to send her to Beijing. After Zhou Rong remained silent, he had no choice but to call Zhou Bingkun.

"Bingkun, I just heard you say that your sister came back by truck?"

Zhou Bingkun nodded firmly: "Yes, the license plate is from Beijing. I thought he was the person you called, Brother Xiaoguang."

Cai Xiaoguang shook his head slightly. His social circle was mainly in Jichun, so how could he know people in Beijing?

"We should thank them for this. And from what I see from your sister's appearance, she may have encountered some trouble in the capital. If we want to know the details, I'm afraid we have to ask them where they are from."

"But where can we find them?"

"I'll go look for them. You stay home with your aunt and sister. If you need any help, let me know."

"Brother Xiaoguang, thank you. I don't know what my sister is thinking. She treats you so well, but she..."

Cai Xiaoguang smiled bitterly, he himself didn't know what was wrong. In terms of talent, appearance and family background, he was not inferior, so why did Zhou Rong look down on him?
