"Oh my god, aren't you just making things difficult for me? How could I agree? I didn't make any mistakes. Why should I admit my mistakes to the old man? I really can't do this." There was no such thing.
After some hesitation, Zhou Bingkun refused.
Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingkun still have great differences.
No matter what happens, Zhou Bingkun would never bow to Zhou Zhigang, thinking that Zhou Zhigang did the right thing back then.
First of all, Zhou Zhigang condoned Zhou Rong's mistakes. He didn't even have the dignity to be a father, and bowed his head to the shameless daughter who eloped.
Secondly, because of this matter, it was not worth it for Zhou Bingkun to feel wronged for Li Suhua. Li Suhua stayed at home for four years. Zhou Zhigang was visiting relatives and did not go home to see Li Suhua, and went to see his filial daughter Zhou Rong.
The most important thing is that Zhou Zhigang is snobbish and looks down on Zhou Bingkun. Zhou Bingkun has no future in the first place. It can be said that Zhou Zhigang has an inherent influence on Zhou Bingkun in his heart, which is barely understandable.
But looking down on Zheng Juan when they first met, whether it was because Zheng Juan was implicated by Zhou Bingkun or because she was from an ordinary background, this was too much.
It is impossible for Zhou Bingkun to accept the blatant treatment of his two daughters-in-law differently at home.
When Zheng Juan married into the Zhou family, it was not that she had no outstanding qualities and she was politically clean.
When Hao Dongmei married into the Zhou family, she was just a capitalist daughter.
When Zhou Rong married Feng Huacheng, Feng Huacheng simply turned against her.
Zhou Zhigang had such a good attitude towards both of them, but he looked down upon the politically innocent Zheng Juan.
It's because Zheng Juan doesn't have parents who are leaders, she's not a famous poet herself, and she's too bullying.
Marrying into the Zhou family and giving to the old Zhou family to Zhou Zhigang would not win much face, and Zhou Zhigang would look down on others.
Zhou Zhigang is so flexible in his conduct and work, and what stands out is his snobbery.
"You don't want to admit your mistake to your father, so why don't you ask your father to admit his mistake to you? He is a father. How shameless is it to ask him to bow his head and admit his mistake to his children?"
"Mom, look into the back compartment."
Li Suhua really turned her head and looked along the aisle to the back of the car: "I can't see anything, what do you want me to see?"
"I'll let you look at the car in the back. There are Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng in there."
Li Suhua is not an old fool. On the contrary, her memory is pretty good. After Zhou Bingkun reminded her, she remembered how Zhou Zhigang asked Zhou Rong to bow down:
"Why are you talking about your sister? Your sister is a girl. Your father went to find her because he felt sorry for her. Why are you, a man, comparing yourself to your sister, a woman?"
"If I don't compete with Zhou Rong, then he can lose his face!" In order not to irritate Li Suhua, Zhou Bingkun spoke in a calm tone, but the meaning of his words could not be calm.
"I don't care about you anymore, I'll go with your brother and the others."
After Li Suhua became angry from embarrassment, she threw away the small package in her hand and wanted to find Zhou Bingyi's group.
"You don't have to go, you can't. There are so many people on the bus and the aisle is blocked. How can you squeeze through?"
After Zhou Bingkun said this, Li Suhua still didn't give up and ran to the train aisle to take a look.
This means I have absolutely no experience of crowded trains. If it weren't for the fact that it was a sleeper car, the aisle would have been packed with people.
Li Suhua walked to the ordinary car and saw that the aisle was really hard to squeeze through, so she gave up and sat back helplessly, feeling sulky all by herself.
So after getting off the train, what Zhou Bingyi saw was Li Suhua with a pulled face.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you not happy when you return to Jichun?" After getting off the train and reuniting, Zhou Bingyi asked the black-faced Li Suhua, and then looked at Zhou Bingkun: "Bingkun, what's wrong with mom?"
?”
Because Zhou Bingkun pointed out Zhou Zhigang, he even lost his face.
Moreover, what Zhou Bingkun said was the truth, and there was no way to refute it. Li Suhua could only get sulky, and even after a day, she still didn't calm down.
When encountering this kind of thing, Li Suhua's stance is still very firm and she stands firmly on Zhou Zhigang's side.
"It's okay. Mom might just be tired from riding in the car. Please take her home to rest."
Li Suhua was angry and didn't want to speak, so Zhou Bingkun spoke up and handed Li Suhua over to Zhou Bingyi.
Then we took the tram back together. The three families had different destinations, so they separated on the tram.
Zhou Bingkun's family returned to the Soviet-style courtyard, Zhou Rong's family went to the hotel they were used to staying in, and Zhou Bingyi took Li Suhua back to the old house of the Zhou family in the photo.
Because the previous conversation ended on bad terms, it saved Zhou Bingkun a lot of trouble.
Li Suhua didn't like her, so Zhou Bingkun didn't have to come closer.
I am concentrating on preparing the New Year’s goods in the small courtyard.
Although Guangming has grown up now, he is sixteen or seventeen years old and has basically grown into a young man.
Aunt Zheng can definitely go out with Guangming and act as eyes for Guangming. Guangming is strong now, so the two of them can live a normal life at home without any problem.
If Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan don't come back, Aunt Zheng and Guangming can handle these things.
But after all, there are many and messy things to prepare for the New Year. Since Zhou Bingkun and everyone are back, it is more appropriate for Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan to prepare.
Still cleaning the house, buying vegetables, buying meat, buying firecrackers, fireworks, preparing couplets, buying cloth, making clothes, steaming steamed buns, bean buns, braised pork, ribs, elbows and so on.
It's not complicated, but doing everything is quite time-consuming.
Although supplies have become abundant in the past two years, you don’t have to queue for so long to buy some dry tofu, sesame oil, peanuts, melon seeds, candies and other New Year supplies.
But because the conditions are getting better and better, the quality of the New Year's Eve dinner has to be improved accordingly, and more and more things are prepared.
The time is approaching the Spring Festival while the whole family is shopping and doing things.
"Bingkun, Dad's twenty-eight car is back. Do you want to come with me to pick him up tomorrow?"
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Bingyi arrived at Zhou Bingkun's house from nowhere.
"Why should I go there? I'll ride a bicycle to pick him up, and he'll come back by himself on the tram. What's the point of me going there? Why don't you borrow a trolley to pick him up? It's so comfortable to sit on a trolley, and there's a lot of space.
It’s also convenient for luggage.”
Zhou Bingkun said casually, but actually there wasn't that much of a reason, Zhou Bingkun just didn't want to pick it up.
"If you don't want to go, Zhou Rong and I are going to pick up Dad."
"Then there's no need for me to go. You and Zhou Rong have already gone to pick up a few dads and they can all be picked up. Why should I go? It's not like dad has no one to pick him up."
"Then will you go home tomorrow and pick up the wind for dad?"
Zhou Bingyi continued to ask, and Zhou Bingkun judged Zhou Bingyi's purpose.
Knowing that there was a high probability that Zhou Bingkun would not be willing to pick up Zhou Zhigang, he still asked unnecessarily.
Letting Zhou Bingkun return to the Zhou family's old house tomorrow is probably Zhou Bingyi's true purpose.
The old trick is to ask a difficult question first and be rejected, then ask a less difficult question and it will be easier to accept.
"I can't go back. There are so many people in our family now, so many steamed buns, so many bean buns, and dozens of kilograms of meat, elbows, etc. have to be cooked. How can I have time to go out?"
But Zhou Bingkun didn't follow Zhou Bingyi's advice and refused directly, so he wouldn't make the unnecessary trip back.
Just to help Zhou Bingyi prove to Zhou Zhigang that in the past two years, Zhou Bingyi, the talkative person of the Zhou family, has maintained the Zhou family well. His mother is loving, his children are filial, and his brothers and sisters are harmonious.
Although Zhou Bingyi has done well in the past year or so, he has not let Zhou Bingkun worry about Li Suhua.
However, because of Zhou Bingyi's clever operation, Li Suhua suffered a bone fracture, which also caused Zhou Bingkun a lot of trouble.
Seeing Zhou Bingkun's refusal so firmly, Zhou Bingyi could only sigh and continued to ask helplessly: "Then when are you going to go back to your old house?"
After asking Zhou Bingkun about the time of his return, Zhou Bingyi had an explanation for Zhou Zhigang and his wife.
Since the Zhou family is the one talking about the matter, Zhou Zhigang couldn't just ask and know nothing about Zhou Bingkun's family.
"Thirty, at thirty, I will take Zheng Juan and the two children back, have a New Year's Eve dinner with you, and then come back to celebrate the New Year."
"Then you will definitely come back on the 30th day." Zhou Bingyi warned worriedly.
"Okay, no matter how cold the weather is or how much snow it snows, I will definitely go back. You don't have to worry about me. You should still worry about whether you can take your wife back to Zhou's house when you are thirty.
.”
It is easy for people to save others by themselves, but it is difficult for Zhou Bingyi to go to the Zhou family to bring back his daughter-in-law.
I thought it would be difficult for Zhou Bingkun to bring a wife home.
Little did they know that the uneducated Aunt Zheng was much more sensible than the Hao parents.
Aunt Zheng would never force Zheng Juan to live at home when her daughter should go back to her husband's house.
…
After sending Zhou Bingyi away, Zhou Bingkun thought this would be the last two times he would see Zhou Bingyi this year.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bingyi came to Zhou Bingkun's house again on the 28th night of the next day.
"Bingkun, Zhou Bingkun!" Zhou Bingkun could hear Zhou Bingyi's shout even without leaving the room.
After going out to greet them, Zhou Bingkun saw Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei waiting outside, and said impatiently: "Zhou Bingyi, why are you here again today? Didn't I tell you not to go back today?"
Seeing that this time there were two people waiting outside his house, and it was time before dinner, Zhou Bingkun instinctively thought that Zhou Bingyi had come to ask his family to go back to his old house for dinner and reunite with Zhou Zhigang.
"I didn't tell you to go back today. It's not because I want to come to you this time. It's because I want to go back to Dongmei's house and take the road from your side. Mom asked me to inform you."
Because he did not find someone by himself, but because of Li Suhua's orders, Zhou Bingyi spoke very forcefully.
Normally he was filial when talking about it, but when Zhou Zhigang came back, Zhou Bingyi was still the same as Zhou Bingkun, not even having dinner with Zhou Zhigang.
Not eating, not talking, not staying at home, I am still going to Hao Dongmei's house.
"I will go back the day after tomorrow. What else are you telling me? I will go back for New Year's Eve dinner in 30, and you haven't conveyed my intention to my mother?"
"Mom asked you to go back tomorrow and let our family go to the photo studio to take pictures together. Dad wanted to take a family photo together, so Mom asked me to call you."
When Zhou Bingyi said he wanted to take a family photo, Zhou Bingkun frowned. He felt that this thing was very familiar, and logically he should take one. However, he didn't know if there would be any twists and turns since the changes were so big.
Seeing Zhou Bingkun's frown, Zhou Bingyi continued to persuade: "The photo studio has a holiday from the 30th to the 7th day of the twelfth lunar month. Our dad is leaving on the 8th day of the twelfth lunar month. If we want to take family photos, we only have one day tomorrow. So my mother and I are all
I hope you can go back and take a photo tomorrow. The last time our family took a family photo was more than ten years ago!"
"Okay, you don't have to say anything, just take pictures. There's no problem with our family. I'm just worried that you might do something wrong and the photo won't work."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Bingkun also took a look at Zhou Bingyi's bicycle. There was a briefcase hanging on it, and it didn't look like he had any gifts.
I have been back for a week, and Zhou Bingyi has already brought the gifts for my father-in-law from the capital.
"We won't have any problems. Whether it's us, my parents, or Zhou Rong and the others, everything has been decided. It's just you who hasn't decided yet."
"Time, place, our family of four will go directly to the photo studio tomorrow."
"This is not class or work. The time is not accurate. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the old house early to gather. When everyone is here, we will go to the photo studio together. There were many people taking photos before. When we arrived at the photo studio, we might not be sure.
There’s still a queue.”
Zhou Bingyi was also the messenger. After Zhou Zhigang came back, Zhou Zhigang still had the most say in the old Zhou family. Knowing that Zhou Bingyi could not decide the time or place, Zhou Bingkun accepted the result and waved his hand for Zhou Bingyi to leave.
After breakfast the next day, Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan packed up the two children.
In this era, photography is so important. You need to wear the most decent clothes, and you need to tidy up.
In an era before beautification and Photoshop, and the magic of makeup had not been developed, what the photo looked like, apart from the photographer's skills, all depended on one's background and how to retouch it.
Even a home like Zhou Bingkun's is in good condition, and many people who take photos have to tidy up before taking photos.
Big leather shoes, Chinese tunic suit, woolen coat, cashmere hat, this is the equipment Zheng Juan prepared for Zhou Bingkun.
Zheng Juan, Zhou Miaomiao and Zhou Zhou were all wearing clothes prepared for the New Year.
The weather in the Northeast is so bad that there is nothing new in Chinese New Year clothes. The most outstanding thing about the clothes is the bright color and new quality.
After nine o'clock, Zhou Bingkun and his family set off back to Guangzi Film.
"Old Feng, you're here too. Are everyone here? Let's go when everyone is here."
Arriving at the door of Lao Zhou's house, Zhou Bingkun saw Feng Huacheng standing at the door.
After all, he is a poet. He is not afraid of freezing in this weather that has just snowed heavily. He stands outside admiring the northern scenery after the snow falls in the Northeast, looking for inspiration to write poems.
"Bingkun, you guys are here. We will all be together when you arrive, except for my brother and sister-in-law. We can set off when they arrive." Feng Huacheng withdrew his distant gaze and looked at Zhou Bingkun's family and replied.
"Then let's go inside and wait. It's still too cold outside to freeze the children." He opened the door, raised the curtain, and let Zheng Juan and the children go inside first. When Zhou Bingkun finally entered, he looked at Feng Huacheng: "
Do you still want to go outside? Then you can continue to stay outside. Such a beautiful snow scene would not be so easy to see unless you came to the Northeast."
