After the father and son talked about it, Zhou Zhiqiang finally became happy again. In fact, he was really satisfied with his younger son Zhou Bingkun.
The current prosperity of the Zhou family is due to Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan. From the smile on Zhou's mother Li Suhua's face, we know that Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan are very filial.
Chinese people have a good reputation. Even as far away as Chongqing, I could see my son's article published in the National Daily. I wonder how Zhou Zhiqiang, Zhou's father, could not be proud.
"Kun'er, if you have money, you can't spend it like this!
Don’t buy such good cigarettes next time!” Holding the Zhonghua in his hand, Zhou Zhiqiang really enjoyed the taste, but said a little distressed.
"Dad, it's okay!
You can just smoke this cigarette from now on!
At worst, if I write more articles, I'll still have money for smoking!" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
Seeing his son Zhou Bingkun's stinky look in front of him, Zhou Zhiqiang shook his head helplessly, "You can't waste money like this!
It’s better to store it, it’s safe and can prevent trouble!”
...
Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng were the last ones to return to the Zhou family. When they met their brother-in-law Zhou Bingkun for the first time, Feng Huacheng seemed a little embarrassed. Zhou Bingkun had no idea of getting close and just nodded in greeting.
When Zhou Rong's family came back, all the Zhou family members gathered together. This was the first time since 1969 that the whole family got together like this.
In just ten years, the three children have grown up and started families.
Seeing her children, Zhou's mother Li Suhua never closed her mouth and kept a happy smile.
"Bingkun, this is the Weining buckwheat cake that my student from Guizhou sent me. It's delicious!
Try it quickly!" Zhou Rong looked at the low-key Zhou Bingkun next to him, picked up a piece of Weining buckwheat cake and handed it to Zhou Bingkun.
Zhou Bingkun was a little uncomfortable with his sister Zhou Rong's sudden enthusiasm. Zhou's father and mother were not sure about the conflict between the children, and thought it was just her sister Zhou Rong's simple love for her younger brother.
But the eldest brothers Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei on the side looked at each other in surprise, wondering what Zhou Rong wanted to do!?
Zhou Bingkun awkwardly took the "Weining Buckwheat Crispy" handed over by Zhou Rong, tasted it helplessly, and then responded with a smile, "It's delicious! It's delicious!"
My sister is still capable!
They have all left Guizhou, but my former students still miss you!"
"Haha, right!
The folk customs in Guizhou are very simple!
If you go, you will definitely like it!" Zhou Rong said happily without hearing the coping in Zhou Bingkun's words.
"Haha, I must go and see it if I have the chance!"
"Bingkun, I saw your article "The Rise of the Great Powers" in the National Daily. Your brother-in-law Feng Huacheng and I were both surprised by your historical skills!"
"Haha, it's just average!" Not knowing what kind of medicine Zhou Rong was selling in this gourd, Zhou Bingkun could only deal with it modestly.
"Bingkun, you have learned to be humble!
But I am very confused, although there are some foreign history books among the books left by my elder brother and me.
But I still can’t imagine how you could suddenly have so much historical knowledge?!”
OK! After going around a long way, Zhou Bingkun finally understood what Zhou Rong meant. This was because he doubted his own knowledge and ability, and suspected that he had plagiarized.
"I study history!
What kind of foreign historical materials does the university library not have?
You don’t really think that I am ignorant, do you?
From what I heard, you suspect that I plagiarized, right?"
"No! I just asked casually!
Bingkun, look at how petty you are!" Zhou Rong quickly denied it.
"Zhou Rong, everyone is smart!
You should understand the principle of catching a thief and taking the stolen goods, right?
Not to mention that my article was included in the internal reference list. If you have evidence, you can report it directly!
I, Zhou Bingkun, will not complain to you, a sister who kills relatives out of righteousness!"
"Dad, Mom, look!
My brother Bingkun is so petty, and I just asked him casually, and he got angry!" Zhou Rong, who was speechless by Zhou Bingkun, quickly said coquettishly to Zhou's father and Zhou's mother who were stunned at the side.
After hearing the conversation between Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingkun, as well as Zhou Rong's coquettishness, Zhou's father Zhou Zhiqiang just smoked alone without any response.
Seeing the deadlock in front of her, Zhou's mother Li Suhua could only helplessly pat her youngest son Zhou Bingkun, "Bingkun, you are already a college student!
Why are you so ignorant!"
"Your sister and your brother-in-law finally came back and joked with you, but you are so angry!"
She didn't care about Zhou's mother Li Suhua's complaints and slaps to her, but looked seriously at her sister Zhou Rong in front of her, "Sister, you are my biological sister!
There are so many people across the country, but no one questions me.
But you, my biological sister, are the only one who doubts me!"
"I'm very angry right now, and the way to express my anger is to beat you or scold you severely!"
"But you are my relative, I can't do this to you!
But I must express my anger towards you Zhou Rong!
Our whole family is here today, and I am here to announce something!"
"From now on, I, Zhou Bingkun, will no longer publish any articles!
If you violate this oath, God will not tolerate it!"
"ah?"
The Zhou family present heard Zhou Bingkun's decision and their eyes widened in complete shock.
"Bingkun! Zhou Rong was just joking!
You can't be so excited!" Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei looked at each other and quickly stopped Zhou Bingkun's impulsive behavior.
"Zhou Rong, you are my sister!
I can neither hit you nor scold you!
I can only vent my anger through actions!" Ignoring the shock of his family and the dissuasion of Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, Zhou Bingkun stared into Zhou Rong's eyes and said angrily.
Hearing Zhou Bingkun's overreaction, Zhou Rong was also shocked. This situation was really something she had not expected.
I wanted to say something, but found that nothing could be said, leaving only endless regrets in my heart.
"Excuse me, is anyone home?"
Just as the sound outside the door broke the oppressive and suffocating atmosphere of the Zhou family, Zheng Juan quickly went out and opened the door.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, is this Zhou Bingkun's home?"
"Yes! Please come in!" After hearing that it was Zhou Bingkun, Zheng Juan let the visitor into the house.
Seeing that the visitor turned out to be Shao Jingwen, the editor-in-chief of Jiangliao Publishing House, the Zhou family were very confused. Zhou Rong looked at Shao Jingwen and immediately said in surprise, "Editor-in-chief Shao, how did you know we were coming back today?"
You are here to ask for poems from our family, Feng Huacheng, right?"
"Huh?" Shao Jingwen looked at Zhou Rong in front of him and was a little stunned when he heard her words.
"Editor-in-chief Shao, I have admired you for a long time!
During the Spring Festival of 2006, I heard that you went to great lengths to ask for my poems. Huacheng is deeply sorry!" Feng Huacheng on the side immediately stretched out his hands with joy, shook them with Shao Jingwen, and smiled.
He said.
"You came just in time. I just finished some good poems some time ago, so I just want to give them to you today!"
"Eh? Sorry! You misunderstood!
I'm here today to ask for a manuscript from Zhou Bingkun!" Shao Jingwen said with some embarrassment.
"Ah?" Hearing Shao Jingwen's explanation, the Zhou family was shocked, while Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng could only stand there with pale faces.
"Sorry, Editor Shao!
Looks like I’m going to disappoint you again!
I have decided to close the book!" After hearing that it was coming to him, Zhou Bingkun smiled and apologized.
"What? How could this happen!" Shao Jingwen couldn't accept it.
"Hey! It's true that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong!
Being too famous is not a good thing!
I still like to live an ordinary life!
Sorry!" Zhou Bingkun said with a fake sigh.
Shao Jingwen once again left the Zhou family disappointed, just like the Spring Festival in 1976.
In fact, Zhou Bingkun decided not to write articles long ago because there are very few good articles suitable for this era.
Although I have already contacted the "Oriental Daily News" on Hong Kong Island, I can also write some online novels for later generations and publish them in newspapers on Hong Kong Island, but online articles and articles like "The Rise of a Great Power" are completely different things.
"The Rise of Great Powers" and "Hexi Corridor" are like great gods, and Internet articles are like primary school students. When they appear in the hands of one person at the same time, the impact and contradiction caused are very strong.
If Zhou Bingkun gives up before things get better, the consequences will be very serious in the future, and he may not be able to bear it.
Now that Zhou Rong was doubting herself, Zhou Bingkun could use the topic to his advantage, directly transfer the responsibility to Zhou Rong, and give her a one-shot kill.
If Zhou Bingkun told Zhou Rong how bad things were in front of his family, the Zhou family would not believe it.
In the end, they will still blame Zhou Bingkun for being nosy, just like what happened in 1972.
Zhou Bingkun learned to be smarter this time. He was no longer as reckless as he was in 1972, and no longer directly exposed Zhou Rong's bad intentions. Instead, he used the behavior of "sealing the pen" to let the Zhou family always remember Zhou Rong's unreasonableness.
