"I understand, how Mom will take care of her in old age doesn't count if I say it, or if Mom says it herself. It's you, Zhou Bingyi, who has the final say. So just tell me what your plans are?"
Zhou Bingkun still understood that Zhou Bingyi had planned everything. If it was good, he would ask Zhou Bingkun to discuss it, and if it was not good, he would inform him.
"I don't have any plans. Didn't I ask you to come back to discuss it?" Zhou Bingyi likes to save face and doesn't like to tell the truth. He said hypocritically. He asked Zhou Bingkun to come back for no other reason than to drag Zhou Bingkun into trouble.
"How could there be no plan? This matter was brought up half a year ago. You are all in Jichun. It has been half a year. Haven't you guys discussed a way to come up with it?" Zhou Bingkun said bluntly.
"Bingkun, although your sister and I are both in Jichun, we haven't seen each other a few times because we are busy with work, and we really don't have time to discuss it. We have agreed that when you come back during the Spring Festival, everyone will
Let’s talk about this together when we have time.”
Seeing what Zhou Bingyi said so sincerely, Zhou Bingkun believed Zhou Bingyi's words for the time being.
It was not discussed in advance, it was Zhou Bingyi's calculation alone.
"There is no discussion. You must each have your own plans. Don't say that you haven't thought about this matter for such a long time." Zhou Bingkun said.
"I think I have thought about it, but I really haven't thought of a good solution. Our home is so far away from Guangdian Film. It's really impossible for me to come over to stay with my mother after get off work every day, and then go home." Zhou Rong said first.
Zhou Rong has been the same for decades. The most important thing is to be comfortable and to go with everything.
"Yes, when you have no place to live, you don't mind that your school is too far away from the optical film."
Zhou Bingkun glanced at Zhou Rong sideways and said, "If you don't want to care, don't care. If you are not filial, you are not filial."
Every time, I find some unconvincing reasons and try to cover up the meaning.
When the family had no place to live and had to live back in Zhou's house, Zhou Rong didn't mind at all that Guangzi was too far away.
"Zhou Rong, who is not far away from the Guangzi Diao? I returned from the No. 1 Courtyard and the Guangzi Diao is not far away. I don't care what your reasons are. You have to do your part in this matter."
The more hypocritical it is, the more it bores people. Now even Zhou Bingyi doesn't cooperate with Zhou Rong's performance.
"I didn't say I couldn't contribute, it's just that the conditions don't allow it, otherwise I would just stay with mom alone."
When Zhou Rong talks, she habitually sounds like tea.
"Mom is the mother of three people, so you don't need to take care of her alone. I have thought about this many times. Like other families, let's clarify our responsibilities and take turns to accompany mom and take care of the old lady."
Zhou Bingyi couldn't come up with any new methods. There had already been a situation where everyone was passing the blame and no one was willing to take care of the elderly. In the end, they all took this step.
"Brother, you know what's going on over there." Zhou Rong still wanted to struggle, show off her pity, seek sympathy, and evade responsibility.
"I know, I know that among the three children in our family, you are the one who has the most holidays. Not only do you have ordinary holidays, but you also have long holidays such as winter and summer vacations. You really made the right choice to be a teacher, Zhou Rong."
I don’t know how Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong got along in the past few years.
Zhou Bingyi can now treat Zhou Rong normally.
It's not like before, she protects Zhou Rong in every way.
In his forties, Zhou Bingyi finally understood when facing Zhou Rong.
"Then I will stay with mom during the holidays."
After Zhou Rong couldn't find any excuse, she responded helplessly.
"Bingkun, what do you think?" Having decided Zhou Rong, Zhou Bingyi looked at Zhou Bingkun again.
"It's easy for me to talk. Let's ask the old lady first if she has any objections. I can't go back to Jichun. If I want to accompany the old lady, the old lady will have to follow me to live in the capital." Zhou Bingkun said calmly.
said.
Because Zheng Juan has a good personality and can take care of the elderly.
In fact, whether Li Suhua lives with Zhou Bingkun or not will not affect Zhou Bingkun.
"Mom, why don't you and Bingkun go live in the capital for a few months a year?" Zhou Bingyi asked tentatively.
"Bingyi, mom is still willing to live in our Jichun. Your dad is also in Jichun. Why would I go so far to live in the capital?"
When he stayed in Jichun, he had Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Bingyi, and Zhou Rong. When he went to the capital, he only had Zhou Bingkun, his grandson, and his granddaughter. It was a good choice for Li Suhua to choose which one was more important.
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that mom doesn't want to go, and there's nothing I can do about it." Zhou Bingkun spread his hands and said obediently while getting an advantage.
After I graduated, I definitely made the right choice by choosing to stay in Beijing.
"Then why don't you, Dad, go live with Mom in the capital? You haven't even been to the capital yet, right?" Zhou Bingyi discussed while looking at Lao Zhou who was smoking.
"That's not the case either."
Seeing that Lao Zhou had some thoughts, the capital was still very attractive to the older generation like Lao Zhou. Zhou Bingkun said hurriedly: "No, when we get to the capital, I have no choice but to find a construction site for the old man to use his spare energy.
Go. If dad can really accompany mom, there is no need to go to the capital. He can just accompany me in Jichun. Mom will be happier than anywhere else."
Zhou Bingkun is willing to reluctantly live with Li Suhua, but he is absolutely not willing to live with Zhou Zhigang.
Li Suhua is partial, but without the influence of others, the relationship with Zhou Bingkun's family is generally harmonious.
If Zhou Zhigang lived with Zhou Bingkun's family, he would have nothing to do but find trouble.
"The construction team in the village cannot do without me. I won't go anywhere."
Old Zhou has been tough in front of Zhou Bingkun all his life, and Zhou Bingkun has said such things. Naturally, Old Zhou cannot rely on Zhou Bingkun so shamelessly and change his words halfway.
"Mom, weren't you living a good life in the capital a few years ago?" The problem was Li Suhua, and Zhou Bingyi could only continue to persuade Li Suhua.
"A few years ago, your dad was in the third line and the three of you were in the capital, so mom was willing to go to the capital."
It is still difficult for Li Suhua to leave Zhou Zhigang. Li Suhua is very determined not to go to the capital.
"It can't be like this. It's agreed that the three families will share the responsibility. It's okay for Zhou Bingkun to just ignore everything."
Before anyone else could speak, Zhou Rong started shouting unconvinced.
Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Bingkun sang together and put Zhou Rong into a package to provide for their parents in their old age.
Then Zhou Bingkun wanted to remove himself again, and Zhou Rong's mentality instantly became unbalanced.
"Who says I don't care about anything? I welcome mom to live in my house in the capital. If the old lady doesn't want to go, what can I do?"
Zhou Bingkun said proudly to Zhou Rong, just to show Zhou Rong proudly.
Zhou Rong's favorite thing since she was a child was to do this with Zhou Bingkun in front of the old couple, and finally got Zhou Bingkun to return the favor.
"Brother." Zhou Rong shouted to Zhou Bingyi, asking for Zhou Bingyi's support.
The situation changed very quickly. Just now Zhou Bingyi was in a fight with Zhou Bingkun, and immediately he was standing with Zhou Rong again.
"Bingkun, this is the mother who gave birth to us and raised us. You can't just ignore mother's affairs just because you don't live in Jichun, right?"
Zhou Bingyi felt helpless in the same way as Zhou Bingkun, and had no other options.
This scene also seemed familiar, just like twenty years ago, when Zhou Bingkun was abandoned in Jichun, and Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong were helpless when they left home.
These things are really like reincarnation. People who left home at the beginning have all returned to Jichun.
Zhou Bingkun, who stayed at home at first, left Jichun.
"I'm not the two of you. After I left home, I just ignored the family. Who said I wasn't prepared to contribute at all? I'm prepared to contribute money."
"No, it's not like I can't support your mother, I just use your money for everything."
Lao Zhou shouted excitedly, feeling that he was being questioned, that he was useless and could not even afford to support his wife.
Things become more complicated when there are more people. No matter what, there will always be people who are dissatisfied.
"Why not? How much money do you earn a month? Is that enough money to hire a nanny?"
Zhou Bingkun looked at Lao Zhou with contempt and said.
The look with which Zhou Zhigang looked at Zhou Bingkun for decades was the same.
This time I returned to Jichun, it was really worth it.
For Zhou Bingkun, coming back this time is not to discuss how to provide for Li Suhua in his old age.
This time I came back to pay off my debts. How have these people treated Zhou Bingkun over the years?
This time when Zhou Bingkun came back, he just returned all these people one by one.
"My salary is not enough, and I still have a pension. No matter what, I can make sure your mother has enough food and clothing."
Lao Zhou couldn't bear to question Lao Zhou's ability to support his family. Lao Zhou had been proud of his work ability all his life and would not accept any negativity.
"What era are we in now? How many years have passed since the reform and opening up? How many people still only care about food and clothing? People nowadays are pursuing the quality of life. I don't see those bosses even driving private cars.
Well, what Lao Zhou’s family is living now is that they can’t even get the three major items together.
How old are you? What's there to be proud of? At this age, you don't hesitate to spend your children's money. You can live like this for a period of time relying on your previous savings, but your previous salary is not enough.
Gao, if you can support it alone, how long can your little savings last you?"
Zhou Bingkun didn't even get angry, but Zhou Rong's speech made Zhou Zhigang so angry that his blood pressure soared.
Zhou Zhigang's salary of 100 yuan and his pension of less than 100 yuan are not enough to hire a nanny and support the couple's daily expenses.
Unless this couple really only needs to eat, they won’t have to spend money on anything else.
"What's so good about those things? Your mother and I have suffered all our lives. We are content if we can have enough food and clothing."
Lao Zhou said stubbornly, Lao Zhou just thought Zhou Bingyi was excellent, and after Zhou Bingyi became better than him, Lao Zhou quickly became soft on Zhou Bingyi.
I have always looked down on Zhou Bingkun, and always thought that Zhou Bingkun was not good. Now of course I am not willing to spend Zhou Bingkun's money, take advantage of Zhou Bingkun, and slap myself in the face.
"Dad, since Bingkun wants to spend money, let him provide some money. You have to hire a nanny and have to support your family. You are under too much pressure."
Zhou Bingyi was really a 'good' son, and he came to help Zhou Zhigang out every time.
Among the three children, Zhou Bingkun is the one who can contribute money.
Zhou Bingyi's family is a department-level cadre, a key doctor in a large hospital, has no children, and has no burden. It is said that he should not be short of money.
But Zhou Bingyi actually doesn't have much money. Living in such a big villa, of course his living standard must keep up.
It costs nothing to live and travel to Zhou Bingyi's house, but Zhou Bingyi still has a lot of expenses in terms of food and clothing.
Zhou Bingyi is also a person who despises money. He cherishes feathers and will not ask for any undeserved income.
He is upright and honest, and he always behaves positively when it comes to donating money or materials.
When I first went to the military factory, I donated 30,000 yuan, the lifetime savings of the Hao family's parents, to the military factory to buy coal for the needy households in the factory for the winter.
Therefore, Zhou Bingyi's family is not short of money, but they can't save much.
Let’s not talk about Zhou Rong’s family. Their income is not high in the first place. As a university teacher and a writer, they have good names, but their income is really not high.
With someone like Zhou Rong who doesn't know how to run a business and pursues petty bourgeoisie in terms of quality of life, it is even more impossible for this family to be well off.
Not to mention any savings, this family probably has not paid off any previous foreign debts.
At least Cai Xiaoguang definitely didn't pay back the debt. Cai Xiaoguang would not take the initiative to ask Zhou Rong for debt, and Zhou Rong was not someone who would take the initiative to repay the money.
"Is this right? Sharing the responsibility of providing for mom in old age does not necessarily mean that everyone has to contribute. Those who are rich will contribute money, and those who have the ability to contribute are also a kind of shared responsibility."
Zhou Bingkun agreed and said that for Zhou Bingkun, anything that can be solved with money is considered a trivial matter.
Even if Zhou Bingkun doesn't go out of his way to make money, raising one more Li Suhua is not a burden at all.
"Ai Zhou Bingkun, do you mean that you only contribute money and don't care about other things?"
Zhou Rong felt that Zhou Bingkun was too relaxed and said unconvinced.
"It's beyond my reach, you know Zhou Rong, I live in the capital, and my mother doesn't want to go there. I can't do anything more besides paying for it. If you think it's easy for me, let's switch. If you can make my mother
My pension money has been paid out, so I won’t work to make money anymore. I’ll quit my job, can I go back to Jichun and concentrate on serving my mother?”
"Bingkun, if that's the case, then Zhou Rong and I will stay with mom. It's still the same as before. It's hard to arrange our time."
Zhou Bingyi was also dissatisfied with this result.
After discussing it for so long, it was as if there was no discussion at all. Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong still accompanied the old lady.
There seems to be no difference between negotiating or not. After waiting for half a year, Zhou Bingkun came back, and I felt lonely after waiting.
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it for you. Don't you just want to have more people to take turns with you?" Knowing that it would not be easy to get away, Zhou Bingkun had certainly thought of a way out.
"Didn't I give away all the money? The old man doesn't have to go to the construction site every day to work to earn money to support the family. He can also spare a certain amount of time and go home to be with his mother. He will take turns with you."
Zhou Zhigang's life should not be lived so wantonly, doing whatever he wants.
