Early the next morning, Zhou's mother kept talking in Wang Lidong's ear about having a baby. They had been married for several years, but there was no movement in the little daughter-in-law's belly. She began to wonder if their health certificates were fake.
"Kun'er, if you give Mom a good word today, when will she have her grandson?"
"Mom, how could I know about such a thing..." Wang Lidong glanced at the inner room and could guess whose handiwork it was with his toes. Since you are unkind, don't blame him for being unjust. Just say a few words.
The topic turned to Zhou Bingyi and his wife. They have been married for more than four years. If they work harder, they will have a second child.
Seeing that the water was boiling, Zhou's mother started making dumplings and said, "Your eldest brother said that there are a lot of things in the group, and your sister-in-law has just become the director of women's affairs. She will not consider having children until she is not busy for two years.
"
"Two older officials, who are older than them, have actively responded to the call of the big boss and worked hard to have children. I think it's just an excuse..."
Mother Zhou stretched out her hand and hit him, "No one has to worry about it. You are not on the front line when I ask you to have a baby. This one pushes that one, and that one pushes this one...
Don't worry about your elder brother, you and Lili must give birth to a grandson for me this year, and a granddaughter too..."
Wang Lidong patted his breasts and promised that he would put in 120% of his efforts...
"Don't just say nice things, mom only cares about the results!"
Two more days passed, and the Chinese New Year was about to come, but Zhou's father and Zhou Rong's family were still nowhere to be seen. Zhou's mother was so anxious that she almost sent her two sons to the train station.
"It's already New Year's Eve, why aren't your dad and Rong'er back yet?"
Wang Lidong looked at the firewood in the stove, "It wasn't always like this in previous years. During the Chinese New Year, all the people went home to celebrate the New Year. The train was so crowded that there was no one to stay, and they had to jump out of the window when getting off the train."
Fu Lili, who was cooking vegetables, also said a few words of comfort. Zhou's mother opened the lid of the water tank and said, "Kun'er, there is no water in the tank."
Wang Lidong threw a piece of wood into the stove, took two buckets and was about to go out. When he heard laughter coming from the back room, he turned around and saw Zhou Bingyi and his wife eating melon seeds and reading the newspaper. They were very comfortable.
.
He was a little unhappy.
It's been three days since they came back, and this couple hasn't even washed a bowl, and they haven't touched their fingers with Yangchun water. They really think of themselves as uncles.
He pushed open the door to the inner room, put the bucket next to the door and kicked it, "Brother, there is no water in the bucket."
Zhou Bingyi and his wife were stunned for a moment, and Zhou's mother hurriedly said, "It's rare for your brother and sister-in-law to come back, so let them have a good rest for two days."
"Who is not busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year? In the past few years, I have been working during the day and going out to earn extra money at night and on my rest days. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, I am not more tired than the two of them?" Wang Lidong lit a cigarette,
"You don't do any work and just eat ready-made food. Are you treating your home like a hotel?"
Hao Dongmei was extremely embarrassed. She stood up and was about to help fetch water. Zhou Bingyi reached out and held her hand, indicating that he would handle the matter, "Zhou Bingkun, I found that when I came back this time, you had great opinions on me, and you always spoke with a gun and a stick.
Is it because of Lili’s incident?”
"Haha, when some people encounter problems, they don't first look for the cause in themselves, but first look for the cause in others.
It seems that I have overestimated the quality of you two. Even before you have resumed your duties, you feel that you are superior to others, acting like a young master and a young lady...
"Bingkun!" Fu Lili put down the spatula in her hand, stepped forward and pulled his arm, "Okay, stop arguing!" Mother Zhou dropped the vegetables in her hand, picked up the two buckets and walked out, "You all
It's our ancestors, please rest, I'll take care of you, that's all."
Zhou Bingyi glanced at him coldly and pulled Hao Dongmei out, "Mom, give me the bucket... walk slowly, the ground is slippery..."
Seeing the three of them walking away, Fu Lili patted him and said, "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law haven't been back for many years. If you have anything to do, you can't talk about it in private. You have to quarrel in front of your mother. Do you think your mother will be angry?"
"To deal with such people, we have to give gongs to their faces and drums to their faces. We are not used to their bad habits..."
"It's all because of me..."
Wang Lidong asked his wife to stop, "It really has nothing to do with you. I was just like this before, but now it's even worse..."
.....
While the two were talking, at a water fetching point two hundred meters away, Zhou Bengyi was queuing up to fetch water with two empty buckets. Hao Dongmei followed Zhou's mother on her arm and talked. Zhou Bengyi saw his daughter-in-law taking the initiative to admit her mistake and apologize to her mother, so he took over the conversation and said,
"Mom, it's my fault today. Dongmei originally wanted to help in the kitchen, but I stopped her.
Our kitchen is only so big, and if we add her to the kitchen, I'm afraid it won't be able to help and will cause more trouble.
Unexpectedly, Bingkun misunderstood.
I haven’t seen him for a few years, Bingkun has changed so much, if I hadn’t watched him grow up, I would have thought that my brother had been transferred."
"Who has been transferred?" A familiar voice sounded in the ears of the three people, and Zhou Zhigang suddenly appeared in front of them. The surprise came as suddenly as a tornado. The warm scene of family reunion added a touch of warmth to the cold winter.
"His father, didn't he promise to arrive home on the 27th, why did he arrive today?"
Zhou Zhigang recalled that the few days of the journey home were really miserable. He did not buy a ticket and stood all the way for three days and three nights. He was afraid that his belongings would be touched, so he did not dare to sleep much. "On the way,
It was so crowded that one time my right leg felt itchy, so I lifted it up and scratched it, and guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"After I finished scratching my itch, I couldn't find any open space, so I had to stand alone for more than an hour..." Zhou Zhigang managed to talk all the way home. When he saw his youngest daughter-in-law, he said a few words politely, then turned around and went in.
The room fell on the kang, and within two seconds a loud snoring sounded in the room.
When Zhou Zhigang woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
He sat up and stretched out.
"Dad, wash your face first." Zhou's mother handed over the hot towel, and Zhou's father took it, "Where are Bingyi and Dongmei?"
"They are all in the kitchen, busy with dinner."
"It's rare for them to come back. Why do you still arrange for them to work and ask them to come in and talk to me?" As for dinner, aren't there Bingkun and his wife?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Bingkun and Lili are out and not at home."
"Where did this Chinese New Year guy go?"
"Aunt Lili's youngest son is having a wedding during the Chinese New Year, and Bingkun and Lili have gone to help decorate the new house. They should be home soon by this time."
Zhou Zhigang wiped his face, put down the towel, came to the kitchen, and praised his eldest daughter-in-law's cooking skills, "Dongmei, thank you for your hard work. There are not many dishes left. You can go in and rest for a while. There are only a few left."
Leave the food to your mother."
Zhou's mother stepped forward and snatched the spatula from the eldest daughter-in-law's hand, urging her to go into the house to rest. Hao Dongmei glanced at Bingyi, and Zhou Bingyi nodded and said, "Just listen to your parents, you go into the house first, and put the bowls on the way."
"You can go too," Zhou Zhigang took over the task of lighting the fire and drove his eldest son into the back room.
The old couple and a big black dog were the only ones left in the kitchen.
Zhou Zhigang looked at the big black dog lying next to the dining table. Its fur was shiny and shiny. He could tell it was well-raised. "When did you raise the dog?"
"Bean sprouts, come here."
Mother Zhou smiled and waved to Little Bean Sprout. The big guy walked up to Mother Zhou slowly, squatted down and sat down, and slapped his tail twice.
Mother Zhou lovingly patted Xiao Dou Ya on the head and said, "I have been calling Xiao Dou Ya for several years, but I have become smart. Whenever a stranger comes, I will call out twice. As long as it is our old Zhou family, even if we have never met,
It can also smell."
Father Zhou stepped forward and tried to touch the dog's head. Xiao Douya shook his tail and praised, "This dog is not bad."
"It can also catch mice. It has caught all the mice in the house..."
"Oh, I can also catch mice. It's good and I raise them well."
The old couple hadn't seen each other for many years, so naturally they had endless things to talk about. First they talked about the family situation in the past few years, and then the conversation turned to Fu Lili.
In the letter, the younger son praised his wife as a beauty, beautiful, virtuous, good at cooking, good at needlework, and a top student at Harbin University.
He originally thought he was bragging, but when we met him today, his temperament, conversation and demeanor showed that he was a cultured person.
"Woof woof..." Xiao Douya suddenly barked twice outside the house. Within a few seconds, there was a knock on the door.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
"Here, who is it?" Zhou Zhigang opened the door and saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses standing outside the house, "Who are you looking for?"
"Is it Zhou Rong's family?"
"Yes. I am Zhou Rong's father."
"Great. Hello, hello." The middle-aged man with glasses smiled, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself, "I am the editor-in-chief of Golden Land Magazine, and my name is Shao Jingwen."
"Please come in quickly and sit down in the room." Zhou Zhigang invited Shao Jingwen into the back room, introduced his eldest son and daughter-in-law to him, and then offered him cigarettes and tea, "What do you want to see Zhou Rong for?"
"What's going on? I just heard that the famous poet Feng Huacheng is your son-in-law?"
Zhou Zhigang smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes,"
"It's like this. Our magazine is going to publish a special commemorative issue..." Unfortunately, the manuscripts received by the magazine were very average and lacked an influential piece. He found out that Feng Huacheng was the son-in-law of the Zhou family and came to visit.
Try your luck.
"I wonder if Comrade Hua Cheng is back?"
"I haven't arrived home yet. I told my family that I will arrive on the 28th. Maybe I was delayed on the road."
Shao Jingwen was overjoyed. He didn't expect such good luck. He complimented Feng Huacheng a few more words, and then left a contact number and told Zhou's father to ask Feng Huacheng to call their magazine when he came back.
"It's really presumptuous today. I won't bother you."
When Zhou Zhigang saw people leaving, he asked them to stay for dinner. Shao Jingwen hurriedly declined and said he would come over after eating well.
"Walk slowly."
"Stay, stay."
When Shao Jingwen went out, Wang Lidong's family of three happened to return to the small courtyard. Shao Jingwen thought Wang Lidong was Feng Huacheng and excitedly stretched out his hand, "Is it Comrade Feng Huacheng? Hello, hello..."
Damn, what’s that look?!
I am only in my twenties, do I look very old?
"Comrade, you have recognized the wrong person. My name is Zhou Bingkun."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Shao Jingwen said a few sorry words in disappointment and left the Zhou family courtyard.
Zhou Zhigang, who was standing at the door, looked at Xu Dudu next to his youngest son and asked curiously, "Which family does this little girl belong to?"
Wang Lidong briefly explained Xu Dudu's situation, then reached out and rubbed his head, "Dudu, call me grandpa."
Xu Dudu whispered, "Grandpa."
Zhou Zhigang's face turned livid, and he walked into the house. Seeing Fu Lili's worried face, Wang Lidong grabbed his wife's hand and comforted him, "It's okay, I'll take care of it."
When the whole family entered the back room, as no one expected, Zhou's father became furious and furious, accusing Wang Lidong of daring to hide the truth and deceive him for four whole years.
No wonder when he returned to the optical film today, many neighbors were pointing fingers behind his back.
A good young man actually married a divorced woman with children. It was a disgrace to the Zhou family!
The more Zhou's father talked, the more angry he became, and he stretched out his hand to hit someone. Zhou's mother hurriedly stepped forward to break up the fight. Apart from being divorced and raising children, the younger daughter-in-law is really not picky in other aspects. Moreover, they have been married for so many years and their children have grown up.
, just say a few words.
"Bingkun, why are you still standing there? Apologize to your dad quickly..."
"Lili and I are getting married. After being blocked and approved, Mom, you also agree. I didn't do anything wrong, so I have nothing to apologize for!"
"Get out of the way and look, this is the good son you raised!"
"When Zhou Rong was in high school, you and your mother asked Zhou Rong if she had a partner. Zhou Rong said at that time that she would make her own decisions about her future love.
You even patted your breasts to express your stance that you would allow her to love freely and not engage in arranged marriages.
When Zhou Rong eloped, no one in my family told me, but I was in an open and free relationship, and everyone in my family was notified, so where did I go wrong?!"
"Zhou Bingkun, you're done!" Zhou Bingyi reached out and pushed Wang Lidong, "Do you talk to dad like this? And no matter what Zhou Rong says about your second sister, you're done?"
If you dare to make a move, Wang Lidong is not used to it. He raises his leg and kicks Zhou Bingyi to the ground, "I keep giving in to you, but you are so good! I really thought that if you are a few years older than me, you can pretend to be a garlic!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Zhou Bingkun! How could you hit your elder brother!" Hao Dongmei quickly stepped forward to help Zhou Bingyi who fell to the ground.
Wang Lidong did not bother Hao Dongmei, but said to Zhou's father, "Zhou Rong eloped with a man twenty years older... You didn't say anything, why would you disgrace the Zhou family by marrying a matchmaker?"
Got it!
A first-generation old worker actually wrote a letter to his family praising Feng Huacheng, a criminal, for being a good person?!
How ridiculous!
If he were a good person, he would not accept the request of a girl the same age as his own daughter!
Shameless thing!
Pooh!"
Zhou Zhigang got angry, threw away his wife, and kicked Wang Lidong...Wang Lidong turned sideways slightly, and Zhou's father stepped on the air with his kick, causing him to fall and gnaw on the mud.
"Zhou Bingkun, are you crazy? How dare you attack dad?!"
"You're blind! It's my father who stepped in the wrong direction. It's none of my business!"
Zhou Zhigang turned over and sat up, pointed angrily at the door and shouted, "Get out! Get out! I don't have a son like you!"
"Get out of here! That's rare!" Wang Lidong took his wife and Dudu back to his room, waved his hand and said, "Move."
He directed the mother and daughter to pack their clothes, while he took the two mahogany boxes on the wardrobe to the ground. Seeing that he was serious, Fu Lili quickly persuaded him to calm down, "Don't make trouble, your dad is just angry."
talk."
"When people are angry, what they say is more truthful than usual, because at this time, people are the most direct and will say things they usually dare not say or don't want to say. Of course, some of them will exaggerate.
He has looked down on me since I was a child.
We, three siblings, made the same mistake. He would say a few words at most to Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, but he would either hit or scold me.
Do you know why?"
"Why?" Fu Lili opened the closet and packed her clothes. Xu was anxious. Her clothes and various toys and babies were all in the back room, but she didn't dare to go into the back room to pack her things alone, so she anxiously grabbed her mother.
Clothes, "Mom."
"Because I'm not good at studying, I'm embarrassing him. As for Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Rong has been studying well since he was a child, so he will be embarrassed in front of the neighbors," Wang Lidong said to Dudu, "I'll take you to the room to get something later.
.”
"Oh. What about the little bean sprouts? Can you take them with you?"
Wang Lidong thought for a while and decided to let Xiao Douya stay here.
It took an hour to pack the clothes and take them all into the back room. Unexpectedly, the little guy had a lot of things, and there were a lot of bits and pieces. Wang Lidong directly stuffed all the small things into a big chest of drawers, and put them in a large chest of drawers.
With a look of astonishment in his eyes, he easily picked up the chest of drawers, which weighed more than two hundred kilograms, and disappeared through the door step by step.
After a while, Wang Lidong appeared in front of everyone again. He almost forgot about the sewing machine. Ever since he had a sewing machine at home, Fu Lili played with it when she had nothing to do. It was her favorite thing. Although he was not short of money, he could
Do you want to save money?
With red eyes, Mother Zhou followed him into the courtyard, took his arm and said, "Kun'er, what your dad said just now is so angry, don't be the same as him, listen to mom and put the things back. Ah!"
"Mom, please stop trying to persuade me. He has disliked me since he was a child. Now he is finally happy. No one will hold back the Zhou family anymore."
When the old lady saw that her younger son could not be persuaded, she quickly asked Lili to help him negotiate. Although Fu Lili knew that Wang Lidong had made up his mind, she did not resist her mother-in-law's pleas and tried to persuade him a few words.
Wang Lidong sighed and said, "To be honest, ever since I was a child, I have always wondered whether I am my biological child."
Zhou's mother hit him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! You were not born by my mother, you were picked up from the trash can."
"I believe he is your biological child, but..." Wang Lidong pursed his lips in the direction of the inner room...
"You are an old kid in our family. How can your father not love you? He is so strict with you just because he hopes you can live up to your expectations..."
"Mom, do you believe this when you say it?"
"It's late at night, where are you moving to?"
"Lili's parents left a small house for Lili."
Wang Lidong borrowed a pallet truck from a neighbor, loaded all his belongings and tied them up with hemp rope. After checking it and finding that there was nothing wrong, he waved to his mother and said, "Mom, it's cold, please come in quickly."
If anything happens in the future, please tell me about catching up or National Day. Let’s go!”
Mother Zhou stood in front of the door blankly, with tears streaming down her face.
Braving the wind and snow, Wang Lidong and his family dragged a flatbed truck for more than an hour to the home of Jichun Agricultural University.
After all the belongings were moved into the house, Wang Lidong looked around and said with emotion, "This will be our home from now on."
Fu Lili leaned against him, "After the Chinese New Year, after your father and brother go back, your mother will be home alone."
"It depends on what Mom wants. If she wants to, we can move in together. If she doesn't, I don't want to go back to Guangzichi anymore."
Among the three, the happiest one is Xu Dudu Children's Shoes. Now she finally has a separate room...
Fu Lili saw her daughter happily picking up a hundred yuan, and suddenly thought of something. Her daughter was currently attending a primary school near Guangzi Film. If she didn't transfer to another school, she would have to travel more than 20 miles back and forth. "Bing Bing
Kun, what should we do if we all go to school?"
Wang Lidong thought for a moment, summoned Dudu, and asked her if she wanted to continue studying in her original school or transfer to a nearby primary school.
Xu Dudu asked, "If I change schools, will the new school be far away?"
"Jichun Xiaoxiao is only five or six hundred meters away from here."
