On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Hao's father took a half-day off and brought Hao's mother to Guangzi Film.
Secretary Xiao Huang drove Hao's father and Hao's mother to the optical film. After seeing the two people getting out of the car, they looked at the dirty environment around them. Secretary Xiao Huang said worriedly, "Boss, how about I go with you?"
Go over there!
The generation of phototype films is quite complicated!”
"Xiao Huang, you are just worrying!
How complicated can it be! Don’t we ask for directions ourselves?
You can go back to the unit directly!" Hao's father said to Xiao Huang with a smile.
"Yes! Leader!"
After watching secretary Xiao Huang drive away, Hao's father and Hao's mother looked at each other and smiled, "Old Hao, how long have you said it's been since we took a walk together like this?"
"Oh? It's been a long time! I can't remember it for a long time!" Father Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Yes! I quite enjoy this ordinary life!
There are not so many entertainments, and there are not so many worries!”
"Haha, you can pull me down!
Everyone has troubles!
You have to force yourself to socialize!
It’s just the difference between more and less!” Hao’s father said disapprovingly.
At this time, Father Hao saw a passerby and asked with a smile, "Hello, comrade! How can I get to Zhou Bingyi's house?"
"Zhou Bingyi? Who are you?" Passers-by looked at Hao's father and Hao's mother in front of them with searching eyes.
"Haha, we are classmate Zhou Bingyi's teachers. We are here for a home visit this time!" Father Hao and Mother Hao looked at each other, and then Father Hao explained with a smile.
"Ah? Bingyi is a college student at Peking University in Beijing!
Did you come from Beijing for a home visit?
Did something happen to this kid Bingyi at school?" Passers-by's eyes widened in surprise.
"No! No! Classmate Zhou Bingyi's performance in school is very good!
We are also from Jichun, Jiangliao. We also returned to our hometown during the Chinese New Year, so we stopped by Zhou Bingyi’s house for a home visit!
Comrade, you have misunderstood!" Father Hao quickly explained with a smile.
"Oh? You scared me!
Have you seen the old man and old woman with their children at the intersection ahead?
That's Zhou Bingyi's father and mother!" The passerby pointed to the intersection ahead and said to Hao's father and Hao's mother.
"Thank you so much, comrade!"
"You're welcome! You civilized people are still polite!" The passerby sighed and turned around and left.
Looking at the in-laws in the distance, Hao's father and Hao's mother both showed envious expressions, "Old Hao, I suddenly envy Bingkun's parents!
The house is full of children and grandchildren!"
"Hey! This is fate!
We are both doing fine!
But Dongmei is the child who is suffering the most!" Father Hao also sighed.
...
Zhou's mother, Li Suhua, hugged the youngest Zhou Hui and watched her father, Zhou Zhiqiang, playing with their two grandchildren, laughing happily.
"Are you Bingyi's parents?"
Zhou's father, Zhou Zhiqiang, and Zhou's mother, Li Suhua, heard the question and looked at the strange couple in front of them with confusion, "We are Zhou Bingyi's parents! Who are you two?"
"Haha, hello, in-laws!
We are Dongmei’s parents!
This time I made a special trip to see you!" Father Hao introduced himself with a smile.
"Ah? So it's my in-laws! Why didn't you say hello in advance when you came over?" Zhou's father Zhou Zhiqiang smiled and shook hands with Hao's father.
“Last time, I couldn’t come because of an unexpected accident!
We feel so sorry!
So, I came here by myself this time!" Father Hao explained with a smile.
"My dear, look at what you said!
We are all one family, there is no need to speak the same language!
Come home quickly! It's too cold outside!" Father Zhou Zhiqiang greeted Father Hao and Mother Hao.
"Okay! Okay! Are these three children Bingkun's?" Hao's father said doubtfully.
"Yes! The two older ones follow Bingkun's temperament and are not enough to be naughty or mischievous!" Zhou's mother, Li Suhua, said complainingly.
“Your Bingkun family is very promising!
Very talented!
In fact, we really admire your education method, in-laws, and you have actually trained three college students!"
“Haha, the children themselves like reading!
In terms of schooling, my mother and I really have nothing to contribute!" Father Zhou Zhiqiang said with a happy smile when Father Hao mentioned the itch in his heart.
Arriving at the Zhou family, Hao's father and Hao's mother looked curiously at the Zhou family's newly built house.
"Bingkun, Zheng Juan, make tea quickly!
Your sister-in-law Dongmei's parents are here as guests!" Zhou's father, Zhou Zhiqiang, shouted to Zhou Bingkun and his wife in the room.
Zhou Bingkun was surprised when he heard his father Zhou Zhiqiang's voice, "Juan'er, go and get the tea that our father brought back and brew it!"
"well!"
"Uncle, aunt, hello!"
"Hello! You must be Bingkun!
What a promising person at such a young age!
We often hear Bingyi and Dongmei praise you!" Father Hao looked at Zhou Bingkun in front of him and said with a smile.
...
After Hao's father and Hao's mother sat down, they chatted with Zhou's father Zhou Zhiqiang and Zhou's mother Li Suhua.
"My dear, a few years ago, I had an asthma attack because I went to inspect a chemical plant!
Then he was taken directly to the hospital!
So I'm really sorry that I kept you waiting all day in vain!" Hao's father apologized again for the matter in front of him.
"Dad Dongmei, you are too polite!
We are all a family and can understand each other!"
"Thank you for your understanding!"
"Zhou Bingkun, I have heard of your name a long time ago!
Your article "The Rise of Great Powers", before it was published publicly, I had already seen it in the internal reference!
The historical knowledge in this article is very solid!
It is of great reference for the future development of our country!" Hao's father suddenly looked at Zhou Bingkun aside, and then said with a smile and praise.
"Uncle is so ridiculous!
I was also bored, so I tried to write it!
I didn’t expect it to be quite popular!” Zhou Bingkun said modestly.
"Haha, in-laws, your Bingkun is quite humble!" Hao's father smiled and said to Zhou's father Zhou Zhiqiang.
"Bingkun, I think you are quite knowledgeable about politics and economics!
What do you think the next development of our Northeast will be like?
I want to hear what you young people think!”
"This...Uncle, I really haven't thought about this issue.
After all, this is not my expertise!
It’s really hard to say anything at the moment!”
"Bingkun, you are so humble again!
Your "The Rise of Great Powers" has far-reaching ideas and cannot be indifferent to politics and economics!
We are all a family, just chatting at home!
You don’t need to avoid anything!”
"This...Uncle, let me just say something simple. Don't laugh at me, you and your aunt!"
“I think the future development of Northeast China will not be very good!
Now other provinces are also undergoing reform and opening up, and soon we will not have much advantage!"
"It's hard to get back?" Hao's father suddenly asked.
"That's not necessarily true. It can only be said to be the general trend!" Zhou Bingkun expressed cautiously.
"Haha, Bingkun, it seems you still have concerns!"
At this time, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei ran in panting, "Dad, Mom, you came as guests and didn't even say hello in advance!"
"Haha, Dongmei, your dad and I suddenly came to visit my parents-in-law on a whim today!
It's not a leader's inspection, so there's no need to say hello in advance!" Hao's mother explained to Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi with a smile.
Hearing Hao's mother's easy-going "in-laws", Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi looked at each other in surprise, "Mom, you have to tell me and Bingyi in advance!
Let’s come here together, so you don’t need to ask for directions!”
"By the way, Dad, what were you talking about just now?"
"Oh! Bingkun and I discussed some current political issues! Bingkun is a bit humble!"
“Dad, Bingkun is studying history!
He only knows a little bit about current affairs and the like!
How dare you try your best in front of you!" Zhou Bingyi explained with a smile.
"Haha, let me ask Bingkun a historical question!
Bingkun, which emperor do you think was the most successful in history?"
"Dad, I know this!
It must be Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Kangxi!" Hao Dongmei suddenly answered.
"Haha, I didn't let you answer! Bingkun, what do you think?"
"Eh? Uncle, I think there is no successful emperor!"
"Ah? How could that happen?" Everyone present was shocked.
"Because they all ignored one of the most important issues!"
"They all ignored the issue of cultivating heirs!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought of it, but Zhu Biao didn't hold on.
I didn’t reserve an alternative successor in advance, and then I could only hastily choose Zhu Yunwen!”
"Oh? Bingkun's statement is quite novel!" Hao's father and Hao's mother looked at each other, then smiled and nodded.
“No one is born knowing how to deal with things, they all need to learn in advance!
The inheritance of feudal society is mostly limited to bloodline!
And modern society pays more attention to will and thought!
However, these need to be cultivated in advance!" Zhou Bingkun explained simply.
After hearing Zhou Bingkun's views and explanations, Hao's father and Hao's mother both looked at Zhou Bingkun with complicated expressions.
The meaning behind Zhou Bingkun's words was obvious, which was to persuade Hao's father to consider the issue of the successor of the Hao family, and Zhou Bingyi was the only candidate.
I used to always hear Hao Dongmei complain about Zhou Bingkun's unreasonableness, but it turns out that he is the one who understands best.
