Chapter Fifty-Eight: Mother Zhou
β¦β¦
In summer, the sun was shining brightly at the last moment, but at this time, suddenly a thunderbolt on a sunny day, all of a sudden, dark clouds covered the sky, a heavy rain, and the curtain of the sky began to fall.
The sound of rain is louder than thunder; Hit straight down from the zenith, break everything in the world, wash it away, and let the rotten give out a new breath.
The world has been cool again.
Inside Zhou Yi's house, on the second floor, the dim light is just right bright and warm, even if the rain roars and the thunderstorm falls coldly, it can't break this small wooden house. Only the slightest hint of rain soaked in from outside the window and door, and with that already soft wind, it blew the whole room with a refreshing heart.
was blown by this wind, and somehow, Zhou's mother was still a little worried in her heart, but she was blown away by this cool wind.
Yu Ranran doesn't just want to remove a piece of filth from the world and seek justice and fairness for Zhou Yi; As a column host, she heard about Zhou Yi and read all kinds of information, so she decided to make a special topic based on Zhou Yi, a college student who returned to his hometown to start a business.
ββ¦β¦ He was very fond of mischief when he was a child, and I have lived half my life, and I have seen him such a naughty one. Under the guidance of Yu Ranran, Zhou's mother gradually sank into her memories and told Zhou Yi's story bit by bit, which was exactly what Yu Ranran needed.
"In the past, every household burned briquettes. The honeycomb coal that he had just made had not yet dried and hardened, so he stepped on it quickly, saying that it was to practice 'dragonfly water'. There are also vegetables grown by other people's families, and he pulls them out one by one to see if there are any roots. When other people's chickens were fed, he chased after them with bamboo poles, saying that he wanted to make the chickens fly and look good.
"What I remember most is that he once broke the leg of someone's chicken. A little girl, who was no more than five or six years older than him, chased us to our house and said that if we didn't cure her chickens, she would break my Zhou Yi's legs. I work in a hospital, so I had no choice but to invite a friend. Let him tie the leg bones of the chicken. β
"Is the chicken really growing?" Yu Ranran asked curiously. She never thought that Zhou Yi, who had always looked quiet, light and peaceful, would have such a naughty time.
"I don't know, it should be good." Zhou's mother smiled uncertainly and said, "Otherwise, the little girl may still find my house." β
"As far as I know, Zhou Yi is a student at Shanghai University. He studied science and engineering, and after graduating, he also had a good and stable job. Do you know what kind of situation he thought of giving up his job and going home to farm? What do you think about him going home to farm......"
"I don't know what kind of idea he had in mind, so he ran back to farm." Zhou's mother replied, "But, I think I know now." She duly turned her head out of the lattice's window.
After about ten minutes of heavy rain, the dark clouds broke down, and the clear fog covered the mountains and covered the blue lake. It also reflects the freshness and gloom of the rain-washed world.
Sunlight shines through the scattered clouds. A large beam of light is completed, not only for the dark clouds to illuminate Phnom Penh, but also to reflect the green forest and wilderness with brilliance!
At this moment, even the cameraman's Xiao Zhang couldn't help stopping, moving the camera away from the character for the first time, and the whole scenery was revealed. It's all stored in that little machine......
Zhou's mother was distracted for a while, and then she continued: "I'm not like his father, although I don't say it, I'm always worried about this and that. β
"The kids are so old. I can support myself and be safe, and I, as a mother, have completed my mission. β
The faint sunlight sprinkled on Zhou's mother's thin face with slightly convex cheekbones, softening and plumping all the lines.
Xiao Zhang looked at the picture coming from the camera, and somehow, for a moment, his mind wandered, and he remembered his mother, who was still far away. He thought that when he insisted on leaving the industry that his parents were familiar with and entering his current industry, his parents' thoughts might be similar.
"When he came back to farm, did you ever think that he would actually grow 'this piece of the world'?! Or even start leading the rest of the town to get rich? β
"Didn't think about it at all. It's like I didn't think that my son would go to prison one day. Zhou's mother shook her head, "What I started to think about was that when he had endured enough hardships, he knew that such a thing as farming was not as simple as he imagined." It's not that you sow and you reap. β
"There are a lot of things in the world that you put in a lot of effort and may not be rewarded. Because there are always people who want to get something for nothing, and think of various ways to collect the fruits of others. Otherwise, some time ago, how could the 'vegetable stealing game' be so popular? Zhou's mother suddenly said with a smile.
"I'm in a dream right now." Zhou's mother continued, "My son suddenly quit his high-paying job and went home to farm; The son does not go out to farm at home; The son made a fortune farming; The son is in jail...... It's like a dream. β
"Now that something like this has happened, it happened to Zhou Yi, but why can't I see the slightest worry in you?"
Yu Ranran is not just a second-generation official, but a talented, ambitious and proud person. She keenly grasped Zhou's mother's abnormality in some aspects and the abnormality of her expression.
"I just listened to your expression, 'go to prison', and it seems that you are sure that Zhou Yi will soon be out of prison. It's likeβ" she thought for a moment how to express the meaning of her words, "as if Zhou Yi wasn't going to prison, but going on a trip." β
"Yes. I believe in the country, in our party and in our people, and in this era, justice is always universal. Zhou's mother's face turned slightly cold, and she said slowly, "Zhou Yi didn't do anything, he shouldn't be punished more." I believe in the fairness of the law. β
"Then what do you think about the forced expropriation of land and Zhou Yi's imprisonment?" Yu Ranran looked at the woman in front of her.
Although she is only the director of a township hospital in a small town, her vision and ideas are far more than many high-ranking officials with vegetarian meals that Yu Ranran has seen. Yu Ranran was originally just curious about Zhou Yi, but now, she has some interest in this old but still young woman, and hopes to have more in-depth exchanges.
Don't look at her as "rude" many times, straightforward and reckless, but she has a scale in her heart, a scale that has been passed on to her parents. Because of this, unlike many young people chasing trends, she has a fashionable and beautiful appearance, few people know that in addition to liking some new things, she prefers to communicate with some elders, listen to them talk about the past, talk about their life experiences, and explain their ideas and values.
"Laws are made and enforced by people, and they certainly have their limitations. Someone snatched it skillfully, which can only show that Zhou Yi has gained too much, far beyond what he has paid and what he can obtain beyond his own ability, so he has been plundered. β
During the period when Zhou's mother was in prison for Zhou Yi, she thought a lot, from panic, to calmness, to calm thinking. Just as this "sudden" wealth seems to be taken for granted.
"I hope he learns some lessons from this. Don't complain, don't give up, the road ahead, can go down step by step, steadfastly......"
