"Dad, do you still remember that year when you were a kid and you took me there..."
After entering the house, they saw and heard Zhou Rong and Feng Yue sitting on the kang, reminiscing about the past with Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua, chatting lively, lively and happily.
To make the couple happy, they still have to look to Zhou Rong. Even Zhou Bingyi is more than one step behind Zhou Rong.
After Zhou Bingkun and his family came in, the effect was obvious and the atmosphere immediately became stiff.
The four pairs of eyes on the kang, large and small, all stared at Zhou Bingkun's family and stopped talking.
Li Suhua glared at Zhou Bingkun, patted the edge of the kang, and then said to Zheng Juan: "Juan'er, come on, take the children to sit on the kang. It's so cold when you come in from outside. I'll get some snacks for the children.
.”
Although I am dissatisfied with Zhou Bingkun, I am okay with Zheng Juan's attitude towards children and she is quite enthusiastic.
When Zhou Zhigang saw Zhou Bingkun's family, he just kept a dark face and said nothing. He didn't even have a good look on his face.
It is obvious that four or five years have passed, and Zhou Zhigang has not reflected on anything.
I still think it's Zhou Bingkun's fault and I'm still angry with Zhou Bingkun.
This person also likes to get involved and get involved, because Zhou Bingkun looks down on Zheng Juan, and then involves two children in Zhou Bingkun's family, and he also has a bad face towards the children.
Zhou Rong glanced at Zhou Bingkun coldly and turned her head.
With this attitude, Zhou Bingkun had every reason to be suspicious, and Zhou Rong reported a black case against him to Zhou Zhigang.
Feng Yue didn't say anything. He was a little unfamiliar with Zhou Bingkun's family and was not very familiar with them.
The most familiar time with Zhou Bingkun's family was probably the half month he lived with Zhou's family. The child has no memory of what happened so many years ago.
In the past few years, I have been able to meet occasionally, but due to the relationship between Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Rong, Feng Yue certainly will not have any communication with Zhou Bingkun's family.
"Dad, Mom." Zheng Juan took the two children and sat down on the edge of the Kang.
Zhou Bingkun didn't say anything at all, just nodded politely, and then looked at the old Zhou family house that he was familiar with before.
After Zhou Bingkun no longer lived here and Li Suhua also moved away, the house lost its popularity and indeed fell into disrepair very quickly.
The house that used to look good, was big and spacious, and comfortable to live in, now looks old and decayed everywhere.
In terms of housing conditions alone, there is a big villa to live in, so there is a reason why Zhou Bingyi does not want to live in this shabby house.
Zhou Bingkun restrained himself from speaking. The atmosphere in the room was quiet due to the entry of Zhou Bingkun's family. After the exchange between Li Suhua and the three children, the atmosphere finally improved.
It wasn't as lively as it was at the beginning, but it didn't make it any more embarrassing.
Zhou Bingyi did not keep this group of people waiting for too long. At early ten o'clock, Zhou Bingyi rode his bicycle and carried Hao Dongmei to the Zhou family's old house.
Seeing Zhou Bingyi enter the yard from the window, Zhou Zhigang urged: "Everyone is here, let's go, it's not too early now."
"Rong'er, you and Yueyue put on your clothes, let's go take pictures." After Li Suhua finished speaking, she also got off the kang, ready to get dressed and go out.
Zhou Bingkun's family didn't need to prepare at all. Not only did they keep their cotton-padded jackets and coats, but also their hats, scarves, and gloves. Because they were going out soon, neither Zhou Bingkun nor Zheng Juan took off their children.
So when Zhou Bingyi entered the house, what he saw was that Zhou Bingkun's family of four had already walked to the door. Zhou Zhigang, his wife, and Zhou Rong's mother and daughter were busy getting dressed and getting ready to go out.
"Dad, Mom, you don't have to be in such a hurry to put on your coat." After Zhou Bingyi came in, he stopped him: "We may not be able to go to the photo studio today."
"Dad, I want to take a photo!"
As soon as Zhou Bingyi finished speaking, Zhou Miaomiao first expressed her disagreement, pulling Zhou Bingkun's sleeve and shouting.
"Bingyi, why can't we go? Is the photo studio closed? Then we can change to another photo studio. This is the only chance after more than ten years?"
Zhou Zhigang frowned and asked with a serious expression and the same dissatisfaction.
"My daughter is fine, we are not in a hurry. Dad said he would take you to take pictures today, so he will definitely take you there. Your father and I have never liked to make random promises, let alone make blind promises to you and our own children.
I will do it no matter what.”
Zhou Bingkun, who thought about what would happen, first talked about Zhou Zhigang and the Hao family's parents.
"Dad, Dongmei's parents, they are going to come home to see you and mom today." Zhou Bingyi said with a happy face.
"Zhou Bingyi, what are you talking about? Are you saying that your in-laws are coming to see us?"
This made Zhou Zhigang so excited that he couldn't believe it and became incoherent.
"Dad, you heard me right. My parents said that after my dad is finished with today's work, he will come over to visit you. Originally, Bingyi and I should have met each other a long time ago. It's their fault.
You're late." said Hao Dongmei, who came in behind Zhou Bingyi.
"Dongmei, you can't say that. How can you blame your parents for coming late? We should have taken the initiative to visit them earlier. In so many years, I haven't even been back to Jichun a few times, and it hasn't been long since I came back.
That’s why we delayed this matter.”
When Zhou Zhigang said this, Zhou Bingkun was the most polite and considerate Zhou Zhigang had ever seen in his life.
"My dear, Rong'er, please stop, we are not going to take pictures anymore." Zhou Zhigang's face turned red with excitement, and he kept giving orders:
"When the in-laws are coming, we must pay attention to it. Before they come, let's tidy up the house first. Everyone gets involved, sweeping the floor, wiping the table, cleaning the windows, both in the yard and outside.
Clean it up. There is also the public toilet. You should also clean up the public toilet, in case the in-laws come and ask for the toilet!"
Ever since Zhou Bingyi married Hao Dongmei and Hao Dongmei's parents resumed their duties, Zhou Zhigang had been looking forward to this day.
After waiting for so long, finally waiting for this day, Zhou Zhigang became excited.
Although because of Zhou Zhigang's inadvertent leakage and hard-working publicity, the entire Guangzhi Film already knew that Zhou Bingyi was married to the daughter of the No. 2 family in the province.
But no one has ever seen the Zhou family enjoy the glory of leading the in-laws.
Therefore, other people also know that although the Zhou family has the leader's in-laws, the in-laws do not think highly of the Zhou family, and it makes no difference whether they have this in-laws or not.
But if the Hao family's parents could come over and take pictures, it would prove to Zhou Zhigang that in the eyes of leader No. 2, he was still Zhou Zhigang's in-laws.
Zhou Zhigang, who wants to save face, has reached the pinnacle and climax of his life.
In order to welcome the arrival of Hao's parents, Zhou Zhigang also racked his brains to show his attention.
Zhou Zhigang, who was not very educated, couldn't think of a good welcome ceremony, so he wanted to give the Hao family's parents a set of treatment that he heard from the drama, the treatment of an official in feudal society when he goes out.
There is a clear water splashing street and a loess-paved road. Unfortunately, this place does not have such conditions.
At minus 10 to 20 degrees, splashing water will turn into ice. It will definitely not work if clean water is splashed on the street. If it is really splashed, it will turn into an ice skating rink.
Loess does not have the same conditions for Daoguang calligraphy sheets. If there is even a little bit of loess, the residents will have already covered it on the walls of their homes.
Not to mention the corners and corners, even the streets and roads are all dug into pits by households who are short of soil. There is no loess to pave the way.
However, we can't find loess to pave the road. The potholes on the street can be solved. We can also find some cinder to pave the way.
"Rong'er, you and your mother should tidy up this house together. You, your father and your brother, go and sweep the courtyard, clean it up, and fill in the holes in the street." Li Suhua, who is a husband and wife, said
The job has been assigned according to Zhou Zhigang's arrangement, "Bingkun, Juan'er, you two go clean the toilets on the street."
Although there is no distinction between high and low labor, it can always be divided into clean and dirty, easy and tiring.
From how Li Suhua arranges her work, we can see the status of everyone in the old Zhou family.
There is no doubt that Hao Dongmei is the best if her parents come to support her and Li Suhua doesn't dare to arrange a living.
The "brother position" of Zhou Bingkun and his wife has not changed. This kind of inadvertent order can best reveal the truest thoughts in people's hearts.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zheng Juan responded instinctively.
"I'm not going." Zhou Bingkun stopped Zheng Juan directly, "If we don't go, who is going to clean the public toilet for them? I'm sick. I'm not busy at home on New Year's Day, so I'll come over and help them clean the public toilet.
. Let’s take the kids to take pictures. If they don’t want to go, we can go there ourselves.”
After saying that, Zhou Bingkun took Zheng Juan and the two children and prepared to leave the old Zhou family's place of wrongdoing.
Seeing Zhou Bingkun about to go out, Zhou Zhigang, with agility not befitting his age, rushed to the door, stopped Zhou Bingkun, and angrily said: "Zhou Bingkun, where are you going? Didn't you hear your sister-in-law say that his parents are coming over?"
, if you are not waiting for welcome at home, where are you going?"
Zhou Zhigang wanted Zhou Bingkun to stay too. Zhou Zhigang probably wanted to show the Hao family how much the Zhou family valued the visit. Lao Zhou's family, large and small, were all here, so he respected your Hao family enough.
You also respect me, Lao Zhou, and let the neighbors come and watch, and let everyone know that such a big leader has come to see me, Lao Zhou.
"Give me a start. If you want to welcome you, welcome yourself. Even if you want to carry out restoration and kowtow to them, I won't stop you. But don't waste my time and let me welcome these irrelevant things.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Zhigang was Zhou Bingkun's father, he would have suffered a huge setback.
After Zhou Zhigang pushed Zhou Zhigang away, he pulled Zheng Juan and walked out of the room with the child in his arms.
"Unfaithful, unfilial, bastard, Zhou Bingkun, you are trying to rebel against heaven, aren't you?"
Zhou Zhigang had never been so wronged by Zhou Bingkun, so he chased him out and scolded Zhou Bingkun.
I picked up the pole for carrying water from the yard and hit Zhou Bingkun, hoping to give Zhou Bingkun a beating if he didn't obey me like he did when he was a child.
Zhou Bingkun grabbed the pole that Zhou Zhigang was swinging towards, and with a little effort, he pulled it from Zhou Zhigang's hand. With his left and right hands, he broke the pole and threw it in front of Zhou Zhigang:
"Okay, don't stay here with me, chirping, chirping, and cursing. Don't you know that because of all the things you have done over the years, you have long lost your status with me? You
Don’t you think I don’t dare to fight you?”
He broke off a wooden pole with his bare hands, which shocked Zhou Zhigang and the entire Zhou family. Zhou Bingkun pushed his bicycle away, and no one dared to sneeze.
"Bingkun, dad finally came back. It's been five years and you've just met again. Why are you and dad having a falling out again?"
Although Zheng Juan did not hesitate when she left with Zhou Bingkun, she persuaded Zhou Bingkun after leaving the door.
Generally speaking, Zheng Juan is still the kind of person who hopes that her family will be harmonious and everything will be prosperous.
I don’t know, but seeking family harmony through compromise will not bring any happiness, but will only make you feel more wronged.
"Does that mean I want to break up with him? Didn't I just prepare to take you away without saying anything? I can't avoid it even if I want to. It's him who insists on stopping me and refusing to let me go. He's not comfortable with me.
." Zhou Bingkun explained.
Zhou Zhigang could kneel down and lick the Hao family no matter what he wanted. As long as Zhou Bingkun was not allowed to follow him, Zhou Bingkun would not want to talk to him.
Zheng Juan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, and continued to ask: "Are we really going to take pictures?"
"Of course, I have promised the children. I can't let Miaomiao and Zhouzhou think that I speak like Zhou Zhigang. My words have no strength and are like farting."
"After leaving like this today, shall we go back for the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow?"
"Go back, why don't you go back? Go back to the old house for the New Year's Eve dinner, which I promised them a long time ago. No matter who you make the promise to, it always counts."
At thirty, I still wanted to go back to the Zhou family’s old house, but Zhou Bingkun just wanted to go watch the fun.
No matter whether the Hao family's parents will visit the old Zhou family today or not, tomorrow's visit to the Zhou family should be wonderful.
Zhou Bingkun took his family to the photo studio and took a single photo of his daughter, a single photo of his son, a group photo of the two siblings, a photo of the family of four, and a photo of the couple.
Including the time on the road, it took less than an hour.
It can be seen that it is Lao Zhou's family, and the family actually came to take a family photo.
Without further delay, Zhou Zhigang welcomed Hao's parents.
Zhou Zhigang directly canceled the family portrait plan that he had wanted to take for more than ten years but failed because the people were not gathered together.
It's all just being sentimental, making a fuss out of a molehill, and making a fuss.
Just because it can boost your own face, you can put aside other things, which is also selfish.
Zhou Bingkun spent the afternoon of his thirties in his small home. Including Aunt Zheng and Guangming, there were a total of six people.
Because Zhou Bingkun’s family of four are going to spend the evening at the Zhou family’s old house.
At 30 noon here, it’s the New Year’s Eve dinner here in the Su-style courtyard.
I also started busy cooking after breakfast in the morning, and it was not until noon that I cooked a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
The plan for the evening is to go to the Zhou family’s old house for dinner first, eat early, and come back early.
Then they went back to the small courtyard. The family made some dumplings and ate them. Then the old man and the children went to bed. Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan chatted and stayed up late, taking care of both sides as much as possible.
