"Zhou Bingyi, you are making no sense. Why can't you just be my wife? Why don't you let your wife take care of mom?"
Zhou Bingkun was very dissatisfied when he heard that Zhou Bingyi had this plan.
I wrote a letter to Zhou Bingyi in advance, asking him to make arrangements in advance, and Zhou Bingyi arranged this.
If Zhou Bingkun wanted Zheng Juan to take care of Li Suhua, there would be no need to notify Zhou Bingyi, he could have made the appointment himself.
What is the difference between Zhou Bingyi's arrangement and arranging a loneliness.
"Dongmei has also been admitted to university, which is our provincial medical school. The focus of her future life will be school and study, and she will not have this time to take care of her mother."
Zhou Bingyi defended with a calm expression, why he was obedient and ignored Li Suhua, which seemed to be a matter of course.
"Then Zheng Juan can't do it anymore. The focus of Zheng Juan's life is me and her children. She can't live without me. So wherever I go, Zheng Juan will go with me. I want to go to Beijing to go to school. It's impossible to take her
She stayed in Jichun with her children." Zhou Bingkun said following Zhou Bingyi's logic. Zhou Bingkun always believed that for some people, only magic can do magic.
"Bingkun, the kind-hearted Wu still feeds back, and the lamb still kneels at its feet. People who are unfilial to their relatives are not as good as grass and trees."
"Zhou Bingyi, you are doing education work in the Corps. You have done too much." Zhou Bingkun waved his hand impatiently and said: "You don't need to recite filial piety songs to me. When you want to persuade me, think about doing it yourself first.
How about it? I have taken care of my mother for at least these years. Think about what you have done for our mother in these years."
"Bingkun, I used to be in the Corps. I couldn't go back even if I wanted to because of my job. I had to do it because I didn't take good care of my mother."
Zhou Bingyi, like Zhou Rong, deep down in his heart, has never considered himself unfilial.
No matter what their actions are, these two people always consider themselves to be filial sons and filial daughters deep down in their hearts.
If you have a reason that you can barely explain, you can just be a "filial son" in words.
"Zhou Bingyi, can you stop treating yourself like a filial son? What is your last resort? In the eight years since you left, you can come back to visit your relatives once every two years. How many times have you come back?"
Seeing Zhou Bingyi speechless, Zhou Bingkun answered for Zhou Bingyi: "I only came back twice in total. Both times are not counted. They can only be regarded as a visit and a half. The second time I came back, I stayed for half the time to see my mother-in-law and her husband."
My father-in-law went there. This time you went even further. After you came back from the army, you went directly back to your father-in-law's house and stayed at their house. Did you get my mother's consent for such a big thing?"
Originally, Zhou Bingkun had been thinking about whether to free up the old Zhou family and let Zhou Bingyi live in it when he returned to the city.
Before Zhou Bingkun could make a decision, Zhou Bingyi made his own choice, got off the train and went straight to No. 1 Courtyard.
Not only did he go to visit, he immediately set up camp and stayed there. This time he went back to Lao Zhou's house, bringing some mountain goods with him. Going back to his own home was really like visiting relatives.
Zhou Bingyi was speechless and opened his mouth. He didn't say anything for several times. Finally, after holding it in for a long time, he muttered: "Then didn't I go to live in their house because our place is small and we can't live in it?"
Zhou Bingyi's explanation can only be described as very pale and weak, not mentioning Zhou Bingkun's idea of moving out.
Even with the existing conditions of the old Zhou family, it would not be inconvenient for Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei to move in.
As a mother, Li Suhua would not find it too inconvenient whether she shared a kang with Zhou Bingyi and his wife, or Zhou Bingkun and his family of three, for a short period of time.
"Okay, the conditions of the big villa in Courtyard No. 1 are good. If you want to live there, you can live there. I won't argue with you about it." It was not Zhou Bingkun's purpose to break up with Zhou Bingyi. The purpose was to hand over Li Suhua to Zhou Bingyi.
Take care and not push too hard Zhou Bingyi:
"You just know that you are not as filial as you say. If you are really filial in your heart, now you have a chance to prove yourself. Mom will be taken care of by you in the next few years."
"No... Bingkun, I'm going to Beijing to go to university, how can I take care of my mother?"
He said it well, but when it came to the actual situation, Zhou Bingyi refused decisively.
Zhou Bingkun's principle in life has always been not to believe what a person says, but only to see what a person does.
"Not only do I have a wife, but you, Zhou Bingyi, also have a wife. My sister-in-law is studying in our local university, so wouldn't it be enough to let her take care of my mother?"
"How can that be done? Your sister-in-law is going to medical school. Zhou Bingkun, you should have some idea of how busy she will be with her studies. How can she have time to take care of her mother?"
Zhou Bingkun refused without hesitation and asked Hao Dongmei to take care of Li Suhua. Zhou Bingyi probably had not considered this matter at all.
"Why don't my sister-in-law have time? It's not like I asked my sister-in-law to take care of my mother all the time. Although my mother's health is not very good, it's not bad. She said she asked my sister-in-law to take care of my mother. That means my sister-in-law can just go home and see my mother every day.
Since she is studying in a local university, it is appropriate for my sister-in-law to go home at night and on weekends."
"I can't decide this matter. You asked me to go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law." Zhou Bingyi wanted to use the dragging method.
"What is there to discuss? My sister-in-law is the daughter-in-law of the old Zhou family. She should have lived in the old Zhou family." Then Zhou Bingkun looked at Zhou Bingyi in surprise:
"Zhou Bingyi, you don't want to let your sister-in-law live in her parents' home. You have to know that your sister-in-law is already the Zhou family's wife, so why do you want her to live in her parents' home all the time? You have to remember that you, Zhou Bingyi, are not your son-in-law.
You know what the old man cares about most is family tradition. If he knows that you are doing this and becoming a de facto son-in-law, do you want to piss him off to death?"
"I didn't...I didn't want to be a son-in-law." Zhou Bingyi said, shaking his head.
If you don't want something, no one will take the initiative to be your son-in-law.
At this time, it cannot be said that Zhou Bingyi is ready, but to please his father-in-law, Zhou Bingyi must be there in the mother-in-law's heart.
"It's fine if you don't have one. Zhou Bingyi, you have to know that there are three unfilial piety, not having offspring is the worst. If you didn't give birth to the eldest son or grandson of the old Zhou family, you, Zhou Bingyi, are already very unfilial. If you can't make any contribution to the old Zhou family, then go and do it for others."
If your son-in-law comes here and ruins the family tradition, you, Zhou Bingyi, might as well just jump into the river."
Zhou Bingyi said with a bitter look on his face: "Bingkun, I have my own reasons for not having children."
"I don't care if you have any difficulties, you just feel sorry for the old Zhou family..."
Zhou Bingkun didn't want to hear Zhou Bingyi tell his love story, because Hao Dongmei was infertile and was destined to have no children in her life.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Bingyi only thought about Hao Dongmei and did not consider the performance of the old Zhou family at all.
In front of Hao Dongmei and the Hao family, Zhou Bingyi is certainly a good person.
As far as the old Zhou family is concerned, Zhou Bingyi's son is completely wasted. He will neither serve his parents in their old age nor carry on the family lineage. What use does this son have?
"Who is sorry to the old Zhou family?"
At this time, Li Suhua walked in with a smile.
Zhou Bingkun also heard Li Suhua's footsteps entering the house, so he didn't continue talking.
"Of course I am talking about who is not at home all the time. I can't talk about myself."
Li Suhua punched Zhou Bingkun hard on the back again, and said reproachfully: "Why is your brother so unfilial? There is no child in our area who is more filial than your brother. After so many years, how can we not celebrate the Chinese New Year every year?"
Send souvenirs back to mom."
In saying this, Li Suhua was completely acting out of conscience. Zhou Bingyi was considered the most filial person by sending some local specialties. He sent home ten yuan every month. What should his children say?
"Bingyi, this is because when you came back, mom specially bought you fresh meat. She will fry your favorite meat sauce and eat noodles for you later."
Li Suhua held up a knife of meat in his hand and said that the treatment of the two sons was really different. Li Suhua would only let Zhou Bingkun queue up to buy meat, but he would queue up to buy meat early for Zhou Bingyi.
Just because Li Suhua values Zhou Bingyi so much, Li Suhua should let Zhou Bingyi take care of him.
If possible, Li Suhua would undoubtedly like to live with Zhou Bingyi, whom she values the most.
"Thank you mom, let me help you cook together."
Li Suhua's arrival helped relieve Zhou Bingyi from embarrassment, and Zhou Bingyi became accustomed to being courteous to Li Suhua.
"I don't need your help. Just sit on the kang and rest, listen to the radio, and eat some peanuts and melon seeds."
Although Li Suhua would not let Zhou Bingyi actually work, when he heard Zhou Bingyi say this, Li Suhua was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
Zhou Bingkun was not welcomed by the old couple in the old Zhou family, and there must be many reasons for this himself.
In addition to not being good at studying, he also doesn't speak like Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong to please his parents. This is also a key point.
Of course, the reason why Zhou Bingkun is not so eloquent and eloquent is also related to the fact that Zhou Bingkun cannot get approval from his parents when he says the same thing.
"Juan'er, let Bingkun play with Miaomiao while you help mom roll out the noodles. Your brother should be hungry. Let's eat early today."
Zheng Juan and Zhou Bingkun didn't need to take the initiative to ask, Li Suhua took the initiative to shout.
I saw that Li Suhua was reluctant to use her eldest son Zhou Bingyi, but Zheng Juan was so comfortable and accustomed to using her.
Although Zhou Bingkun didn't say anything, he also strengthened his determination. It was indeed time to change this situation.
In the atmosphere where Li Suhua and Zhou Bingyi laughed happily and Zhou Bingkun's family of three was silent, after eating a meal of noodles, Zhou Bingyi was ready to leave.
"Bingyi, you are leaving now. Mom hasn't had a good chat with you yet." Li Suhua said reluctantly looking at Zhou Bingyi.
"Mom, I'm staying in Jichun for a long time this time, more than a month. We two have plenty of time to get along. I have something to do there today, so I'll go back first." Zhou Bingyi didn't have any nostalgia and took his own
He put on his military coat, got off the kang and left.
When he reached the door, Zhou Bingyi turned around and said, "Bingkun, it's still a long time. Let's not be so anxious to settle the matter we talked about until my father and Zhou Rong have discussed it."
Zhou Bingyi also said it with a serious face. From the surface, it is definitely not possible to hear that Zhou Bingyi has any unfilial thoughts.
"Bingyi, Bingkun, what do you two need to discuss with your dad and Rong'er?" Li Suhua was completely confused about what was going on.
"Mom, things are still waiting over there. I have to leave first. Let Bingkun explain to you what the specific matter is."
After saying this with a smile, Zhou Bingyi got on the Hao family's bicycle and left the Zhou family.
"Bingkun, what are you two so mysterious about?" Li Suhua couldn't wait to ask after entering the room.
"There is nothing mysterious about the matter. It's time to tell you this. Let's sit on the kang and talk slowly."
After everyone returned to the kang in the back room, Zhou Bingkun said slowly: "Isn't it because I have been admitted to university? I will go to Beijing to attend university after the year, so Juan'er and Miaomiao must follow me.
From Beijing. In this case, you will be the only one in our family. But you definitely can’t live alone. There must be someone to take care of you. This is what we two brothers discussed."
"I don't need you to take care of me, so why should I take care of you? Aren't I the one who takes care of you all the time?"
Li Suhua's first thought was not to cause trouble to her children.
The other is that Li Suhua doesn't have a clear understanding of her own situation.
If it weren't for Zhou Bingkun's care, Li Suhua would have been a vegetative state almost blind from tears.
The situation seems to be pretty good now, and I can occasionally help take care of the children, cook, etc., but these are just superficial.
As I get older and my health is not good, if something happens to me, I might just get over it without needing anyone to take care of me.
"Okay, you usually take care of us. You don't need anyone else to take care of you, but you don't want to live alone in the future, right? You always need someone to accompany you, right?"
Regarding Li Suhua, Zhou Bingkun followed his advice most of the time.
"I have been looking forward to my whole life, just to be reunited with my family. How could I be willing to live alone?"
After not showing off, Li Suhua spoke the truth.
"I was admitted to Tsinghua University, my brother was also admitted to Peking University, and Zhou Rong was also admitted to university if nothing unexpected happened. They all have to go to school, and our family will definitely not be able to reunite. Now you can only choose one of the three. This
We can't let us decide everything, we should also listen to your opinions. Between the three of us, let you choose one to take care of. Who are you most willing to take care of?"
Zhou Bingkun still followed Li Suhua's wishes and said.
"Bingkun, mom doesn't dislike you." After thinking for only a second, Li Suhua made a decision.
"I know that you won't be able to dislike anyone who dislikes me. After all, I am an old member of the Zhou family."
Zhou Bingkun nodded and said, there is a big difference between not paying attention and being disgusted.
Li Suhua definitely didn't dislike Zhou Bingkun. Without the influence of Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, Zhou Bingkun was also Li Suhua's favorite good son.
"Zhou Rong is a married girl with a foreign surname. Mom will definitely not be able to take care of Rong'er. Mom and your brother have been separated for so many years. If I could choose, Mom would be willing to take care of your brother."
