"Guangming is really blessed to have a sister like Juan'er."
It can be seen that Li Suhua is very envious of Guangming right now.
Envy Guangming lives with Zhou Bingkun's family, and Envy Guangming is taken care of by Zheng Juan.
"It can't be said that it is Juan'er's blessing to have a sensible brother like Guangming. It is said that Juan'er takes care of Guangming, but in fact, Guangming really doesn't have much to take care of. It is Guangming who has been helping Juaner for so many years.
Take care of the family, take care of the children."
Regarding Li Suhua's envy, Zhou Bingkun can only say that the relationship is mutual.
Since the couple never valued Zheng Juan, they never paid any attention to her.
Without Zhou Bingkun's request, Zheng Juan would certainly not pay for the old couple.
"Juan'er and Guangming's relationship is so good. Few siblings have such a good relationship."
"This is the truth, so the relationship between people is still based on relationships. Whether the relationship is good or not does not depend on the blood connection."
Zhou Bingkun was returning to Li Suhua, but he was also talking to Lao Zhou. Don't think that you can control yourself because of that blood connection.
"Juan'er, if you are all thirty, come over. Let Guangming and his wife come over for the New Year's Eve dinner, so that they won't have trouble getting ready at home, and it will be deserted for the two of them to celebrate New Year's Eve."
Li Suhua was very enthusiastic towards Zheng Juan today. It felt like she finally understood after so many years that only by having a good relationship with someone can she live a comfortable old age.
"Mom, there's no need for that. We've already booked the New Year's Eve dinner at the hotel. We'll come back at thirty and then go back to celebrate New Year's Eve by ourselves."
Zhou Bingkun explained for Zheng Juan that these were things Zhou Bingkun had arranged directly after returning.
For Zhou Bingkun, going back to the Zhou family's old house to celebrate New Year's Eve is a courtesy and courtesy. When he comes back, he feels like he has punched in and completed his tasks at work.
Celebrating New Year's Eve with Zheng Juan, his children, and Guangming made Zhou Bingkun feel like he was truly celebrating the holidays as a family.
Of course Zhou Bingkun will not feel uncomfortable. Of course, he will stay where he is comfortable and where he will stay longer.
"That's okay. Mom is getting older now and doesn't have that much energy, so she can't stay up all night. During New Year's Eve in the past two years, your brother and sister ate their dumplings and left."
Li Suhua replied in a depressed mood.
People who have their own small families all operate in the same way.
Zhou Bingkun finally got together with these two people. Over the years, he despised them, understood them, and became two people.
Learning from these two people was quite successful. Zhou Bingkun was able to synchronize with the two people's choices in most of his choices.
"Yes, that's enough. It's not popular to stay up all night now. When you're sleepy and tired, you should rest. You don't have to suffer because of this for such an old person." Zhou Bingkun replied.
"Mom, this is a rare time for us to come back, so don't just sit around and see if there is any work that needs to be done. Let's help you do a little bit."
Not wanting to chat in the back room and see Zhou Zhigang's dark face, Zhou Bingkun rarely offered to help with the work.
"Mom, are the steamed buns and bean buns steamed? I'll help you make the noodles alive."
Zheng Juan also stood up in a hurry, and her husband followed her husband. Like Zhou Bingkun, she would rather work than face the black-faced old Zhou.
"Okay, Bingkun, Juan'er, let's get the meat ready today. The meat we bought is still freezing outside and has not been put away."
Li Suhua also got off the kang. At this time, even if Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan didn't come, Li Suhua should start working.
Even though there are only two people, Li Suhua and Lao Zhou, they prepare things for everyone during the Chinese New Year.
The quantity may be a little less, but because of the sense of ritual, the patterns must not be too few.
The most sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner of the year requires more than ten dishes.
"I'll go outside and bring the meat in."
Zhou Bingkun came to the courtyard and took out the meat from the frozen meat vat.
One pork hind leg, one rib, two elbows, pretty good.
No matter how bad the couple's life is, the old couple has never been mistreated when it comes to food.
The temperature of the meat outside is much lower than that in the refrigerator, and it is frozen and hard.
If you want to use it, you need to wait for a while for it to thaw.
Zhou Bingkun was not idle either, helping to knead the noodles and adjust the bean paste.
The noodles are not open yet, so there is no time to steam the bean buns and steamed buns now. They are ready and can be left to Li Suhua to do it slowly. These tasks are relatively easy.
Then it was time to remove the bones, chop the ribs, and chop the meat. Zhou Bingkun did it. These were all strenuous tasks.
They didn't stop talking while working, and they didn't stop talking. Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan talked about some things about their families in the capital.
Mainly listening to Li Suhua talk about what happened in Jichun, about Lao Zhou, about Zhou Bingyi, and about Zhou Rong.
Li Suhua just doesn't talk about herself much.
When talking on the phone, Zhou Bingkun could only understand a little bit in general. Through this detailed chat, Zhou Bingkun understood a lot of details.
Now that she had time to chat slowly, Li Suhua finally stopped praising the three people with her mouth open and her mouth closed.
The first one was Lao Zhou, who was stretched out on the kang and couldn't go out. He was suffocating at home, and his temper got worse and worse. He had many problems and was difficult to take care of. Now he is a weird old man with a weird temper.
It seems that Li Suhua doesn't like Lao Zhou staying at home that much.
I am not satisfied with Zhou Bingyi and Li Suhua. Of course, having no children is an important point.
Another point is that Zhou Bingyi doesn't read pictures very much and is often busy with work.
Li Suhua will understand if she is busy with work, but she cannot understand if she is not busy and has no achievements.
Because he does a job that offends people and ruins their jobs, Zhou Bingyi has a bad reputation in Jichun.
Jichun is so big. Zhou Bingyi ruined the jobs of tens of thousands of people and affected the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people.
There are very few residents living in Jichun who have no relatives or friends whose jobs were ruined by Zhou Bingyi.
To give an example, because Hao Dongmei was Zhou Bingyi’s daughter-in-law, she was chased and beaten when it was found out that she was working in the hospital.
Based on this situation, one can imagine what kind of public opinion Li Suhua, Zhou Bingyi's mother, lives in.
Li Suhua is old and walks tremblingly. No one dares to do anything to her, but after she goes out, she is bound to make nasty remarks.
Zhou Rong also lived in a messy place. When Feng Yue was in high school, the couple still seemed to be inseparable and pretended to be a family.
After Feng Yue went to college and went to the south, Zhou Rong and Lao Feng let themselves go. The couple became upright, reached a tacit understanding, and began to play their own roles.
This kind of thing is not accepted even after thirty years of open-mindedness, let alone the nineties.
"It's a good thing you two came over, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to do these jobs. Speaking of which, it was when you were at home that my life was the happiest and most comfortable."
With poor care in life and mental violence, it is not surprising that Li Suhua wanted to join Zhou Bingkun's family.
"Mom, people are like this. When they get older, they will miss the past and always feel that they were happy in the past. It's the same for me. I also miss when I was a child and when I first got married. But those are all illusions. The past
Life is so hard, what good is there? I feel like this because what I miss is not the past days, but my youth."
As long as Li Suhua didn't speak directly, Zhou Bingkun would treat it as if he didn't understand.
Li Suhua also followed, Zhou Bingkun, Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Rong, and Lao Zhou all lived together.
After experiencing everything, I miss the goodness of Zhou Bingkun's family and can't go back.
"is that so?"
"That's it. Think about it, what good can you do and how can you be happy if you didn't have enough to eat before?" Zhou Bingkun affirmed, and then put his finger on the big iron pot where the meat was smelling fragrant: "If it were before, who would celebrate the New Year?
How can a family afford such a big pot of meat!"
"That's what you said. In the past, when there were such good days, eating meat was calculated on a double basis."
"Yes, after the work is done and the meat is served, we will go back. There is a whole family over there who want to eat."
Having temporarily deceived Li Suhua, Zhou Bingkun of course ran away quickly.
Zhou Bingkun is not afraid of tough guys like Lao Zhou. If he wants to fight or quarrel, he can accompany him.
I'm afraid that Li Suhua, a soft-spoken person who sheds tears and feels pitiful, will not be able to resist.
On the twenty-eighth and twenty-nineteenth, Zhou Bingkun did not return the photos and played outside for two days.
Although the adults and children were as cold as anything, they were really happy.
In the Northeast, down jackets are not very useful. Only fur can keep out the cold.
The north wind was blowing and the snow was falling, so I didn't care about my image, so I put on a mink.
Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan don't look like a family. If they were paired with a big gold chain, they would look like rich rich people.
Zhou Bingkun really couldn't control this thing, so he bought another mink lining and took off the mink coat, which made it look much more pleasing to the eye.
For Zhou Bingkun, a woolen coat is more suitable.
On the afternoon of the 30th, Zhou Bingkun and his family returned to the Zhou family's old house.
The time was stuck at five o'clock. When Zhou Bingkun came, Li Suhua was still busy alone. After seeing Zhou Bingkun coming, Li Suhua greeted him with a spatula in his hand.
"Bingkun, Juaner, Miaomiao, Zhouzhou, you are here, come and sit down and eat melon seeds, peanuts and candies."
The two people who originally helped with the cooking, Zhou Bingyi and Feng Huacheng lost their relationship and stopped working.
Hao Dongmei is not in the habit of working in the Zhou family, so Zhou Rong probably still doesn't know how to work.
Especially cooking New Year's Eve dinner is indeed a bit over the top for Zhou Rong.
"Do you need help? You have to prepare so many dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner by yourself. Are there so many people here to eat?"
After sitting down, Zhou Bingkun shouted, with the purpose of reminding these idle people to go to work.
Zhou Bingkun didn't want to do it, but couldn't bear to watch Li Suhua do it alone, so he had no choice but to call someone else.
The care was so poor, no matter how dedicated the care was, Li Suhua would not always want to defect to Zhou Bingkun.
"No need to help, why don't you all go into the back room to chat?" Li Suhua said politely.
"Then I'd better do some work."
Zhou Bingkun thought for a while and decided that it would be better to work.
"Mom, let me help you (I'll come)."
In the end, Zhou Bingkun and Feng Huacheng stayed to help, while the others went to the back room to chat with Lao Zhou.
Of these two families, Feng Huacheng turned out to be the most diligent and willing to work.
Zhou Bingkun never thought about it before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it is indeed the case.
"Old Feng, have you published any masterpieces recently?" You can't just work in silence, so Zhou Bingkun greeted Feng Huacheng in the same way.
Feng Huacheng smiled and replied: "I have written a few songs recently, but they are not masterpieces."
Seeing Feng Huacheng's sincere smile, Zhou Bingkun felt that Lao Feng had really written a few poems. The quality should be pretty good, at least the kind that could be published: "It's good to have a prosperous life. Lao Feng, you have inspired a lot of poems."
came back."
"What are you so proud of? You must have heard a little bit about our family's situation, right?" Feng Huacheng said after looking at Zhou Rong in the back room through the window.
"I heard, isn't this the best of both worlds for you?"
Zhou Bingkun also started chatting with Feng Huacheng. With Li Suhua and Zheng Juan around, Zhou Bingkun did not chat too deeply with Feng Huacheng.
But after a brief chat, we can also know that after separating from Zhou Rong, Feng Huacheng got better again and was both a successful career woman and a proud woman.
The gloomy and depressed look he had been in the past few years is completely gone. Without Zhou Rong to drag him down, Feng Huacheng seems to be rejuvenated again.
It even made Zhou Bingkun feel that two people must not get divorced. Neither of them are good people. It is better for them to stay together and drag each other down.
"It's time to eat. You guys can come out and bring all the dishes to the back room."
After the food was ready, Li Suhua shouted into the back room.
This time Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Rong, Hao Dongmei, and Feng Yue all came out to help.
Finding that his own children had not come out, Zhou Bingkun went into the back room and saw Lao Zhou calling Miaomiao and Zhouzhou lecturing them.
"Miaomiao, Zhouzhou, do you remember what grandpa told you? You should be more filial to your uncles and aunts. They are just like your parents. They have no children of their own, so you should treat them as your own."
Just like parents, you should be filial, provide for them in their old age, and take care of them in their later years."
"Zhou Zhigang, what are you talking about to the children?" Zhou Bingkun yelled angrily.
Zhou Bingkun overestimated himself a little, and he just discovered that Zhou Zhigang still had a way of irritating himself.
How can Zhou Bingkun be angry? Lao Zhou still has his own tricks.
Instead of trying to take advantage of Zhou Bingkun, he began to take advantage of his children.
This is what Zhou Bingkun heard after he came in. The room was always in a mess. Zhou Bingkun didn't pay attention to the conversation in the back room. He didn't know what old Zhou told the two children.
Zhou Bingkun's scolding voice was not quiet. After Li Suhua heard it, he was the first to rush into the back room: "What's wrong? Why are you still arguing?"
"Ask him, how many times have you met the child before you have ideas about the child?" Zhou Bingkun turned his head and gestured.
"Why can't I have the idea of having children? They are the grandchildren of the old Zhou family. Your brother has no children. Isn't it right for your children to take care of them in their old age? This is the new society. It would be better if it were earlier.
Years ago, you should adopt a child to your brother."
Lao Zhou naturally has his own fallacies and his own set of logic.
