Chapter 797 Our Zhou family still has a P family tradition
"Chunyan is here, come in quickly." Zhou's mother heard the noise and came to the living room. When she saw her goddaughter, she greeted her warmly.
Chunyan glanced at the meat skewers and four large hams under the eaves of the verandah, pushed the door open and entered the house, "Godmother, where are my brother and sister-in-law?"
"Went to buy new year's goods." Zhou's mother greeted her goddaughter into the back room. Chunyan saw the kang covered with white cotton and was surprised and said, "Godmother, where did you get so much new cotton?" She stepped forward.
I grabbed a handful and it felt soft to the touch. It was really a good thing. "It weighs more than twenty kilograms, right?"
"Twenty-five pounds in total, I got it through Bingkun's connections."
Qiao Chunyan glanced at the new quilts next to her and said, "How many new quilts will you make for my brother? There is so much cotton, can't you use it all?"
"Not only Bingkun's, but also Bingkun's father. This year Bingkun's father also came back to celebrate the New Year. When the New Year is over, they will take them to Sichuan and Sichuan together." Zhou's mother smiled and took out the tin box containing the melon seeds. "The remaining
Next, I will make new clothes for Bingkun, Lili and Dudu."
Chunyan grabbed a handful of melon seeds and cracked two of them, "The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days. Do you have time to be my godmother by yourself?"
"Isn't there Bingkun's daughter-in-law?" Zhou's mother's smile became even brighter when she mentioned Fu Lili. The younger daughter-in-law is not only good at cooking, she can also do needlework, and she can also cook quickly and well.
Sometimes, I'm a bit lavish with seasonings.
At this moment, Qiao Chunyan glanced at the sewing machine by the wall. It turned out to be a Pearl brand, more than fifty yuan more expensive than the sewing machine prepared by her partner.
Instantly, the melon seeds in my mouth no longer tasted good.
Xu Dudu looked at the so-called 'godmother' melon seed peels flying around, secretly cursed a few words, and told the reporter that he was so uncivilized.
"Jingle Bell"
"It's mom and uncle who are back." Xu Dudu rushed out of the house. Chunyan turned sideways and looked out through the glass window. The two people's car was filled with New Year's goods.
"Hey, why does this Dudu still call me brother and uncle?"
Zhou's mother was a little embarrassed, "I'm used to shouting Dudu, so Bingkun didn't ask her to change her words."
"Mom, uncle." Xu Dudu rushed to the small courtyard, "Mom, did you buy the plasticine and 200 rings?"
"Bought."
"Where, where?"
Fu Lili untied two relatively light nylon bags and handed them to her daughter. Xu Dudu took them and looked at them. The vinegar, soy sauce and other glass bottles contained unknown contents, and there were also several brown paper bags.
, she got closer and smelled it, it smelled delicious.
"Brother, sister-in-law, what did you buy for the New Year?" Qiao Chunyan came to the small courtyard and reached out to take the two bags. At the same time, her eyes scanned the contents of the two cars back and forth like radar. Wang Lidong moved the two bags.
A big bag of flour, "just some rice, flour, grains and oil,"
With more people and more strength, in a short time, more than a dozen bags of things were moved into the house. Xu Dudu was busy opening the treasure box game, looking for her plasticine, 200 ring sesame oil, peanut oil, a pile of solid soap, and a bag of tea.
There was a bag of cakes. Xu Dudu's eyes lit up and she reached out to open the bag. It was her favorite glutinous rice sticks. She was about to take one. Suddenly, her paw was hit.
Staring at her, "What did mommy teach you?"
"Wash your hands before eating." Xu Dudu flattened his mouth, reluctantly fetched some water, washed his hands, and waited until he returned to the table. Where were the glutinous rice sticks?
She searched all over the table but couldn't find her beloved glutinous rice sticks. "Mom, where are the glutinous rice sticks?"
"It's dinner soon, what snacks do you want to eat!" Fu Lili thrust two boxes of plasticine into her daughter's hands, "Your uncle bought two boxes of plasticine specially for you."
Seeing her daughter holding the plasticine, she was about to enter the back room, "Dudu, what did mommy teach you?!"
Xu Dudu stopped the car and said to Wang Lidong, "Thank you, uncle."
Wang Lidong took out a dozen little people's books from the bag and gave them to the little girl, "Let's go play."
"Thank you, uncle," the little guy happily held a lot of toys and jumped into the back room.
Wang Lidong glanced at Qiao Chunyan, who was discussing a roll of calico with his wife, "You've been so busy lately, how come you have time to come to my house?"
Qiao Chunyan took out a red piece of paper from her pocket, and Wang Lidong took it. It turned out to be an invitation to a wedding banquet, the second day of the new year, at 11 noon, Chaoyang State-owned Hotel.
"Oh, so formal."
"Chen Lei said that when colleagues in the newspaper office get married, they have to send out invitations, so we just do as the Romans do." Qiao Chunyan said a few words and then moved to 72 legs, "Brother, when will it be completed?"
Wang Lidong poured a bag of peanuts into a tin biscuit can, "There are only two chairs left, and we have two days at most."
"Can it be painted tomorrow?"
"sure."
Qiao Chunyan hugged his arm and said, "That's great. Thank you, brother. You have helped me a lot."
Wang Lidong slapped her paw away, "Those who are getting married soon, please be careful about the impact."
Qiao Chunyan said carelessly, "What's the point? You are my brother. My sister-in-law will definitely not mind, right?"
Fu Lili smiled and nodded.
"Look, my sister-in-law didn't say anything."
"I'm not your brother!" Wang Lidong checked the time and said, "It's almost dinner time, so I won't keep you here."
"Stingy, brother, you weren't like this before, but now you are getting more and more stingy,"
Qiao Chunyan complained a few words, turned around and went into the back room to say hello to her godmother and told her to arrive early on the second day of the second grade. Seeing that her goddaughter was leaving, Zhou's mother called Wang Lidong and took down the largest ham from the eaves.
Think of it as a wedding gift from her godmother to her goddaughter.
Qiao Chunyan hugged Mother Zhou and said, "Godmother loves me the most." Before leaving, she did not forget to raise the large ham in her hand to him, "Brother, I'm leaving."
Wang Lidong waved his hand to chase them away, "It's easy to leave, but I won't see you off."
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Lidong returned home and saw his mother sitting on the kang, sighing.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Wang Lidong brushed away the little bean sprouts that had strayed to his feet and let them play with Dudu.
Zhou's mother picked up a telegram on the kang table and said, "Your father sent a telegram saying that he won't be back for the New Year this year and will stay at Ronger's place for the New Year."
Wang Lidong received the telegram, which contained only seven words, 'I am celebrating the New Year at Ronger.'
"Hey, isn't this a good thing?" Wang Lidong comforted his mother and said, "This means that Dad has forgiven Zhou Rong, otherwise he would not have stayed in Guizhou for the New Year. Mom, you should be happy."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I know, but my heart is filled with panic. It has been three years, and I don't know when your father, brother, and second sister will be able to go home together to celebrate the New Year."
Mother Zhou's eyes turned red and she wiped away tears. Wang Lidong quickly asked his wife to come in. She was much better at comforting people than he was.
With a few words, Fu Lili transferred Zhou's mother's thoughts to Zhou's parents and grandchildren, "Kun'er, take the letter paper and write a letter to your eldest brother."
Wang Lidong quietly gave his wife a thumbs up, took the letter, and Zhou's mother dictated, asking her eldest son to quickly carry on the family lineage of the old Zhou family.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Miss Qiao Chunyan, the "Little Sun" of Guangzi Film, got married. The wedding team came with twelve bicycles, all of which were made by Mingzhu, which really envy all the girls who were not yet married.
The groom is also quite handsome, fair and fair, with a pair of glasses on his nose and a pen in his jacket pocket. You can tell at a glance that he is a man of culture.
At lunch time, Wang Lidong's family of four followed the large procession and arrived at the Chaoyang Hotel.
"Bingkun." A familiar shout rang in his ears. Wang Lidong followed the sound and saw a parking lot not far away, and he was waving to him while catching up on National Day.
After asking his wife to take my mother into the hotel, Wang Lidong stepped forward and said hello to the two of them. Then he looked at the two young men with them. They looked very familiar. One was Cao Debao and the other was Lu Chuan.
In the TV series, Cao Debao and today's bride Qiao Chunyan are a couple, but in this world, it is impossible.
Qiao Chunyan's current vision is beyond the ordinary workers of a soy sauce factory.
After Guo Qing introduced the three of them, he started to work as a salesman. "If you two want to make furniture in the future, you can find Bing Kun. His craftsmanship is the best in our area." He said and gave a thumbs up.
.
"Let's eat together." Wang Lidong said modestly, took out his cigarettes and spread them around, "You guys are here to eat too?"
"Well," Qianchao pointed to the Chaoyang Hotel, "Debao fell in love with a girl who is a waiter at the Chaoyang Hotel."
"Bingkun, what about you?"
"Oh, one of my neighbors is getting married and is coming over for a wedding banquet."
"so coincidental?"
"Let's go, it's so cold outside, let's go in and talk." On the way, Wang Lidong told Guo Qing Qianchao about the layoff.
Two days ago, the factory director's youngest son asked him to get two TV tickets, and he took care of it by the way. "I have already found someone. After the New Year, your transfer order should be issued."
Qianchao said excitedly, "Which workshop should I transfer to?"
"Furniture workshop."
"Both of us are."
"nonsense."
The two of them hugged Wang Lidong together. They didn't expect him to be so strong and help him out within a few days. "Thanks, brother."
Wang Lidong reached out and pushed the two guys away, "Okay, I received your thanks."
"Are you free tonight?"
"What's up."
"Go to my house for a drink. We haven't gotten together during the Chinese New Year yet."
Time flies by like water. In the blink of an eye, the year 76 has arrived.
Xu Dudu, a child, has grown from a little bean sprout to a graceful little girl. The little bean sprout has also grown up, from a puppy that stumbled when walking, to a majestic guard dog.
In September 1972, Zhou Rong gave birth to a daughter for Feng Huacheng, named Feng Yue. When Zhou's mother found out, she was extremely happy, which also intensified the old lady's desire for a grandson.
Unfortunately, both sons failed to live up to expectations. After several years, not even half of the eggs were found. Zhou's mother was so anxious that she thought there was something wrong with their health, so she asked her old sisters, who were close friends, to come up with some home remedies.
Looking at a jar of dark soup made from something unknown, Wang Lidong had no choice but to take his wife to the hospital and get a health report. Only then did the old lady turn her attention to her eldest son and his wife.
Not even halfway through January, Fu Lili suddenly received a transfer order from the factory, asking her to return to work in the finance department, and she was promoted one level to become the second-in-command in the finance department.
At first, Fu Lili thought it was because of Wang Lidong's departure. For such a big thing, she didn't even tell her in advance. But when she found him to check the account, she realized that it was not his handiwork.
"Then who can help?"
"Shhh"
After Wang Lidong and Fu Lili listened to the broadcast content, they knew the source of the transfer order.
The dark clouds are about to clear.
"Your parents should be back soon." Wang Lidong hugged his sobbing wife, "It's such a happy event, why are you still crying?"
Fu Lili still buried her head in tears and cried, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
Zhou Bingyi brought his wife Hao Dongmei back to Guangzi Film after an absence of six years.
"Bingyi is back,"
"Uncle Wu, happy New Year."
"This is Dongmei."
"Aunt Six, happy New Year."
When the two of them returned to the door of their small courtyard, they saw a beautiful woman posting couplets at the door. There was also a teenage girl standing next to her, shouting from time to time, "It's too high, it's too low, it's to the left, it's too left."
Fu Lili was furious, "Is it the left or the right?!"
Zhou Bingyi raised his head and looked at the house number, 'Guangzi Pian No. 169', yes, it was his home.
"Woof woof" the little bean sprout barked twice at the two strangers, making threatening whines from time to time.
Fu Lili looked back and knew who the two were. She had seen the Zhou family's family photo and was about to say hello. Wang Lidong came to the door carrying two red lanterns. When she saw Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, she said, "Brother, sister-in-law, are back."
." Then he shouted into the house, "Mom, look who's coming?"
Zhou Bingyi looked at the third brother in front of him and was a little surprised. He hadn't seen him for six years. He had changed a lot. He had matured and was a lot taller. The tall and strong third brother used to give people a submissive impression. To put it mildly, he was honest.
Man, he looks a lot sharper now
"Bingyi is back." Zhou's mother hugged her eldest son, whom she hadn't seen for six years. Both mother and son were crying and excited.
"Mom, it's cold outside, come inside and say something."
"Yes, everyone, come in the house. Come in and talk."
Zhou's mother took the eldest daughter-in-law to the side, and they all entered the back room together. When they were seated, Zhou Bingyi looked at Fu Lili and said, "Is this the younger sister-in-law?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Fu Lili, my wife," Wang Lidong said to his wife, "my elder brother Zhou Bingyi, and my elder sister-in-law Hao Dongmei."
Wang Lidong's marriage was mentioned when he wrote the letter, but Xu Dudu and Zhou Bingyi were a little confused as to which family the child was from and why they stayed with his family during the New Year.
"Bingkun, which family does this child belong to?"
"Lili's child."
Wang Lidong rubbed his head and asked her to call someone. The little guy immediately called out sweetly, "Uncle, aunt."
Zhou Bingyi's face stiffened slightly, "Okay, okay."
Hao Dongmei took Xu Dudu's hand and asked, "How old is Dudu this year?"
"Ten years old."
"Bingkun, I want to tell you something." Zhou Bingyi took him to the kitchen, closed the door, and asked, "What's going on with Xu Dudu? Is it Fu Lili's biological child?"
Wang Lidong lit a cigarette and said, "Lili had a baby with her ex-husband."
"Why didn't you tell us about Fu Lili's divorce and having a child? If you hadn't come back this time, would you have planned to hide it from me and dad, your second sister, for the rest of your life?"
"Zhou Rong eloped to Guizhou to find Feng Huacheng. Did she tell her family in advance?"
"We are talking about you now," Zhou Bingyi reprimanded, "You are a good young man, and you marry a divorced woman with a child. How do you make the neighbors think of our Zhou family? You don't know what dad likes most.
Is this the family tradition of the Zhou family? And Zhou Rong is your second sister, big or small."
Wang Lidong couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Since Zhou Rong eloped, our Zhou family still has a bad family tradition. There is no airtight wall in the world, and for the dirty things Zhou Rong did, my mother and I have been harassed a lot these years.
Pointing behind his back.
I remember that after Zhou Rong eloped, you simply said, "Young people who haven't made some mistakes will be ruined by me. Your behavior, to sum up in one word, is double standards!"
"She doesn't deserve to be my second sister if she elopes. She is happy and loving an old man who can be her father, but has she ever thought about her parents' feelings and the dignity of our Zhou family!"
"Okay! I can't talk to you! I'm meddling in other people's business. Let's see how you explain to dad when he comes back!" Zhou Bingyi said a word and went into the back room angrily.
At night, after the family had dinner, Zhou's mother took out several brand-new quilts and said with emotion, "I have been making these quilts for several years, and I finally used them this year."
Zhou Bingyi and his wife rarely came back, so they slept in the back room with Zhou's mother so they could talk more easily. Xu Dudu hugged the little bunny doll and squeezed in between Wang Lidong and Fu Lili, chattering non-stop.
Wang Lidong threw the little one aside to her mother in disgust, "How old are you? Do you know whether men and women can be intimate with each other?"
Zhou Bingyi turned sideways and glanced at his mother, thinking for a moment, "Mom, how old is Fu Lili this year?"
"I'm eight years older than Kun'er and will be 34 after the Chinese New Year. Kun'er didn't tell you in the letter?"
"No, I didn't say that Fu Lili was divorced and had a child."
"34?" Hao Dongmei sat up in surprise, "I look like she's in her mid-twenties."
"Lili looks young. Lili told me that she looks like her mother. When her mother was forty years old, she looked like she was 30 years old."
When Zhou Bingyi saw his wife, he still wanted to speak, signaling her not to interrupt and that he had business to do. Although Hao Dongmei was unwilling to do so, she pricked up her ears and became a listener after thinking that she would be staying for more than ten days.
After Zhou Bingyi asked a few more questions about Fu Lili's situation, he turned to the topic, "Mom, Fu Lili and Bing Kun are so different in age, and they have a child. You should not have agreed to let them be together in the first place."
"I didn't agree with it at first," Zhou's mother turned sideways, looked at her eldest son, and told the identity of Fu Lili's parents.
Zhou Bingyi immediately lost his temper!
The big reason why his parents could agree to his marriage to Hao Dongmei was because of Hao Dongmei's parents' status. Although they were in trouble, a camel was so thin that it was bigger than a horse.
No, signs of this have already emerged last month, and Hao Dongmei's parents are about to get over it.
Fu Lili's situation is similar to that of Hao Dongmei. Comparing the two, Hao Dongmei is not as good as Fu Lili. Although Fu Lili is divorced and still has a baby, she can have children, but Hao Dongmei has lost her fertility.
If he does this again, he will slap himself in the face.
When Zhou's mother saw that her eldest son had turned off the fire, she immediately turned the topic to having children. The eldest couple had been married for more than four years, so why was there no news from the daughter-in-law here? "Bingyi, you and Dongmei are now grown up, so the child
You have to hurry up."
Which pot won't be opened?
Zhou Bingyi found a random excuse, dealt with it, and left the task of giving birth to the third brother and his wife, "Lili is almost thirty-five, Mom, please urge Bingkun to hurry up.
"
Hao Dongmei immediately added, "Mom, I have read a report saying that once a woman reaches the age of 35, the risk of giving birth will greatly increase."
