Chapter 1329: Zhang Cheng
Early the next morning, the Zhou family all rose early.
With bags large and small on their backs, Zhou Zhigang prepared to set off.
He didn't know when he would return after this departure.
Riding his "Twenty-Eight" bicycle, Zhang Cheng also came out to help move things.
The train station was crowded; everyone was seeing their loved ones off.
Once on the train, Zhou Zhigang, as the head of the household, urged Li Suhua to make sure Zhou Bingkun and Zhang Cheng watched over Zhou Rong as she went to the countryside.
Hearing Zhou Zhigang's words, Li Suhua nodded repeatedly.
"Woo woo woo woo!"
Amidst rolling thick smoke, Zhou Zhigang left, heading toward the Great Third Front.
Watching this group of people who threw themselves into national construction without regard for their own safety, Zhang Cheng felt a complex mix of emotions.
In the fifties, a group of soldiers, using their faith and iron will, told the whole world what it meant to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with gods in human form!
In the seventies, another group of people, with the conviction of great rejuvenation, told the whole world what it meant when they said: "You can do it, and so can we!"
The prosperity of a nation has never been an individual responsibility; it is the common goal of the people. It is precisely because their predecessors suffered that they were willing to shoulder difficulties without hesitation.
Because they understood that if this generation did not finish the work, the remaining tasks would be left to the next.
In China's five thousand years, the concept of "inheritance" has permeated from ancient times to the present.
For money, perhaps many would not risk their lives, but for their descendants, no one would refuse glory!
A body full of blood, two feet in the mud, fighting to secure five generations of peace—this was their faith!
Walking out of the train station, everyone's mood was quite low.
Silently pushing his bike, Zhang Cheng glanced at Zhou Rong not far away, as she was whispering something to Cai Xiaoguang.
However, upon noticing Zhang Cheng's gaze, Zhou Rong immediately stopped talking.
Looking at Zhou Rong, Zhang Cheng's eyes became sharp, because whether for Li Suhua's sake or the Zhou family's, Zhang Cheng would absolutely not allow this woman to stir up trouble!
"Money, my money is gone, my money is gone, woo woo woo..."
Just as everyone was walking outside, they saw a woman holding a child, shouting in the crowd.
Hearing the other party say this, Zhang Cheng hurriedly tossed his bicycle to Zhou Bingkun beside him and said, "I'll go take a look!"
"Hey!"
Watching Zhang Cheng suddenly leave, Zhou Bingkun hurriedly steadied the bicycle.
Arriving in front of the crowd, Zhang Cheng looked at the woman holding the young child and said, "Auntie, how much money did you lose?"
"My husband just gave me thirteen yuan; it was gone as soon as I left the train station. That's the life-saving money for us mother and daughter!"
Crying out in grief, the woman's tears kept falling.
Hearing the woman say this, the people around immediately became angry.
Because what kind of wicked trash must one be to prey on a widow and orphan? It's truly subhuman!
"This female comrade, don't be anxious yet. We are helping you look. Rest assured, even if we can't catch them, we will definitely give you an explanation!"
Looking at the woman's state, the railway police who had arrived also hurriedly offered comfort.
Standing in the crowd, Zhang Cheng began to scan his surroundings.
However, just as he looked at a shifty-eyed person not far away, he immediately narrowed his eyes to observe.
Weaving through the crowd, the other party used the commotion of bumping into people to quickly reach into their pockets, as if watching a show.
But just after he succeeded with a few people, he immediately shifted his position.
But just as he was preparing to retreat, Zhang Cheng grabbed his wrist and said, "You little rat, you're quite the player! You stole from a widow and orphan, and even used them as bait!"
"Who are you? What nonsense are you spouting?"
Seeing Zhang Cheng grab his wrist, the man immediately became flustered.
But before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Cheng backhanded him with a punch to the face, sending him flying into the air.
"Boom!"
As his body slammed heavily onto the ground, all the teeth on the left side of the man's mouth fell out, and blood flowed out uncontrollably.
Stunned by this scene, many people scattered, not understanding why a fight had broken out here.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?"
Rushing over, the railway police couldn't help but shout loudly.
"He is a thief!"
Pointing at the man before him, Zhang Cheng immediately pinned him to the ground and reached out to search his pockets.
Looking at the scattered pile of money and the many vouchers that appeared on the ground, everyone was dumbfounded.
