Chapter 181 Disappointed family meeting

During the Chinese New Year period, Zhou Bingkun actually has no time to spare. He plans to open a restaurant after the New Year, so he can’t do anything without him.

Everything else is easy, except for chefs, which are hard to find. Most of the famous chefs in Jichun City are in state-owned units. If you want to recruit them, you can't do it by just paying them.

Zhou Bingkun inquired for a long time before he found a chef. He was punished at that time, and he couldn't find a good job when he returned to Jichun.

Now I work in the guest house of a state-owned factory as a temporary worker. I heard that his wife was sick and he took her to see a doctor elsewhere.

Zhou Bingkun had been looking for him for several days, and he would not be back until the 29th of the New Year. He decided to take advantage of the New Year to talk to him.

The Zhou family also has something waiting for them, and that is taking family photos.

Zhou Zhigang did not forgive Zhou Bingkun when he came back, but he also did not shame him in front of so many people. Although the family was awkward, they were finally reunited.

As for Zhou Bingkun, he didn't want to cause trouble to his family because of his own affairs.

"Juan, you take the child over first, and I'll go find the chef. Tell your parents that I'll be waiting at the photo studio at eleven o'clock."

Zheng Juan said worriedly: "Can't you wait until after the New Year before going?"

"Can't wait. I've inquired and found out that the chef's wife's illness is not serious, but she needs to spend a lot of money. Her income is not high, and now we are short of money. Giving help in times of need is always more sincere than adding icing on the cake.

"

"Dad, please take my sister and me with you. We don't want to go there," Congcong said.

Yueyue also said: "Yes, uncle, I don't want to go there either. I don't like grandpa and mother."

Zhou Bingkun took out the chocolate and said, "I'm going to do business, so I can't take you with me. You have to be obedient when you go over there. If I hear that you are disobedient when I go back, I won't give you candy in the future."

The two children covered the chocolates in their hands and nodded quickly.

Zhou Bingkun didn't waste any time, got on his bicycle and rushed to the chef's house. The chef's family lived in a rural area on the outskirts of Jichun City, quite far from Taiping Hutong.

Fortunately, Zhou Bingkun was lucky, the chef went home last night.

"Chef Han, think about what I said. If you agree, come to me after the year. These are the money I borrowed from you. You can pay me back when you have money."

"No, how can we ask for your money?"

"Take it, this year will pass."

Chef Han's family of five, all based on his salary, can be said to be completely destitute now.

Zhou Bingkun was concerned about taking a family photo of the Zhou family, and after finishing the matter, he rushed directly to the photo studio.

When we arrived at the photo studio, it was ten minutes before eleven o'clock, and no one from the Zhou family came inside.

Now, Zhou Bingkun feels very regretful. In his last life, he used a smartphone and did not get a camera to put in his space. If he had a camera, it would be so troublesome to use it.

By the time it was half past eleven and no one had come over, Zhou Bingkun was a little anxious, maybe there was something else going on.

When he returned to Zhou's house, it was an eye-opener for Zhou Bingkun. The nearby roads and toilets had been cleaned, and laughter could be heard in the house.

"Dad is back."

"Uncle is back."

These were two children playing outside the hospital. They were the first to see Zhou Bingkun.

"What's wrong? I've been waiting in the photo studio for half an hour, but you guys haven't come over yet."

Zhou's mother said happily: "Your sister-in-law's parents came over, and your father decided to wait until they left before going to the photo studio."

In the room at this time, Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Bingyi, Hao Dongmei and others were obviously in a good mood. Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi had been married for almost ten years, and the Hao family and the Zhou family had not officially met.

As for the reason for not meeting, of course it was because the Zhou family's family status was low. Therefore, this meeting was of great significance.

"Then what time will you come over? Do you want to have dinner at home?"

Hao Dongmei said: "I have to wait until my dad gets off work before he can come over. They are busy and may not eat at home."

"What about us? What should we do at noon?"

Zheng Juan and Zhou Rong said almost at the same time: "I'm going to cook."

Zhou Zhigang stopped him and said, "No, cooking has filled the house with the smell of food, and it won't get out. I think I can just buy a few steamed buns for lunch."

Adults don't have any opinions. They have suffered all kinds of hardships and they don't care how the meal went.

It's just that the two children who were raised with good food by Zhou Bingkun were not happy. Seeing them holding their mouths and eating the buns bit by bit, Zhou Bingkun wanted to laugh.

Can the family not see the child’s appearance?

Even if you see it, you can only pretend not to see it. For Zhou Zhigang, today is an even more important day than taking a family photo.

This means that the in-laws who are high-ranking officials recognize the Zhou family as relatives.

But no one expected that until it was getting dark, Hao Dongmei's parents were not waiting.

Hao Dongmei's father's secretary came to visit with some gifts, because he had a sudden asthma attack and was sent to the hospital. The road in the Guangzi area was not easy to walk, so it was not until dark that he found Zhou's house.

Zhou Bingyi couldn't see the way to the optical film area, so Zhou Bingkun stepped in to help the driver and secretary out of the optical film area.

When I returned to Zhou's house again, the atmosphere was rather awkward.

The gifts sent by the secretary were exactly the gifts Zhou Zhigang asked Zhou Bingyi to bring, including the tea that Zhou Zhigang brought back from your province.

Hao Dongmei felt guilty and wanted to explain something, but at this time, any explanation was feeble. Zhou Bingyi stopped Hao Dongmei who was about to speak and took her back.

Zhou Bingkun knew that Zhou Zhigang didn't want to see him and didn't want to stay, so as not to quarrel with him, so he planned to take Zheng Juan and Congcong back to Taiping Hutong.

She was originally going to leave with Zhou Bingyi, but Yueyue also wanted to follow and grabbed Zhou Bingkun's clothes and wouldn't let go.

"Yueyue, be good, stay here with your mother today, and uncle will bring you delicious food tomorrow, okay?"

"Then you can't take me back?"

Zhou Rong glanced at Zhou Zhigang and said, "Yueyue, you must stay."

"I don't." Yueyue shouted.

Zhou Zhigang also said: "Rong'er, please talk to her properly."

Zhou Bingkun said patiently: "Be good and be obedient. Mom will leave in a few days. Don't you miss her?"

Zhou Bingkun promised Yueyue several conditions before she agreed to stay.

"Sister, be patient with children. How can Yueyue be close to you like this?"

The conditions promised by Zhou Bingkun made Zhou Rong unhappy and even embarrassed Feng Huacheng. The two of them are now unable to meet the children's requirements.

Feng Huacheng was hard-pressed to say anything, but Zhou Rong didn't have so many scruples and said, "You're too spoiled to her. As a child, why would she want those things? We didn't have such conditions when we were children."

Zhou Bingkun said: "You can't use what happened when you were a child to educate your children. Your family didn't have such conditions at that time. Now that the conditions are better, you can't deliberately let your children live a hard life."

"Are the things you mentioned affordable for us?"

"Why can't you use it?"

Zhou Zhigang said angrily: "Okay, it's getting late. Let's take a rest."

Zhou Bingkun didn't argue with Zhou Rong on purpose, but Zhou Rong was too impulsive and too self-centered. She sent Yueyue to her home and ignored her all the time. Zhou Bingkun couldn't take care of the children in separate categories.

The result was good. Now I started to dislike my child's lavish spending and complained that Zhou Bingkun shouldn't be like this.
