Chapter Eight I, Zhou Bingkun, Want to Marry Zheng Juan
Time flew by and it was time to pay wages again. Zhou Bingkun went to the finance office of the soy sauce factory to collect his wages and was ready to leave.
"Brother Bingkun, we have all been paid today, do you want to go out and have a party?" Cao Debao saw Zhou Bingkun was about to leave, so he quickly ran over and suggested.
"Cao Debao, the New Year is coming soon, and there are too many things to do, so I won't go through it!
Have fun yourself!" After hearing Cao Debao's suggestion, Zhou Bingkun refused directly and said, Guangming and his mother were still waiting for him at the entrance of the cinema.
Looking at Zhou Bingkun's back, Cao Debao showed a complicated expression. Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang behind him were also very helpless. Tang Xiangyang said strangely, "Debao, Chuan'er, why do I feel that Zhou Bingkun always refuses?"
The feeling of being thousands of miles away!
Not close to anyone!
It’s like they don’t want to talk to us!”
"Haha, maybe it's almost the New Year's Eve and there are a lot of things going on!
Then let's go out to have dinner by ourselves!" Hearing Tang Xiangyang's emotion, Lu Chuan smiled awkwardly, and then said helplessly.
Zhou Bingkun hurriedly came to the entrance of the cinema. It was not dark yet, and Guangming was still waiting there. Zhou Bingkun parked the car and handed the money directly to Guangming, "Brother Bingkun, you are here!"
"Yes! Wages are paid today!" Hearing Guangming shouting "Brother Bingkun" in surprise, Zhou Bingkun smiled happily and then explained.
It's strange to say that many people in this life are calling themselves "Brother Bingkun", but only in Guangming's voice can they feel a sense of dependence. In fact, Zhou Bingkun knows that what he hopes most is that Zheng Juan has a sense of dependence on him.
But...
"Brother Bingkun, there is something, I don't know if I should tell you or not!" Guangming showed a tangled expression after taking the ten dollars handed over by Zhou Bingkun, and suddenly said hesitantly.
"What's the matter? Just tell me!" Seeing the confusion on Guangming's face and hearing the hesitation in his words, Zhou Bingkun said with some doubts.
"Brother Bingkun, my sister aborted the child!" After hearing Zhou Bingkun's agreement, Guangming no longer hesitated and said directly.
"What? When did it happen?
Why didn't you tell me?" After hearing Guangming's words, Zhou Bingkun was stunned, and then said in disbelief.
"The last time you left my house, my sister went to the hospital the next day!
I've always wanted to tell you, but you always come and go in a hurry, and I never had the chance to speak!" Hearing Zhou Bingkun's doubts, Guangming explained helplessly.
"Guangming, here are five dollars!
Before you go home later, take your aunt out to buy something to eat!
Your sister and I have something to discuss!" After hearing Guangming's explanation, Zhou Bingkun felt annoyed, and quickly took out another five yuan and handed it to Guangming, and then said.
"Brother Bingkun, I understand!" After hearing Zhou Bingkun's instructions, Guangming nodded sensibly.
After instructing Guangming, Zhou Bingkun quickly rode his bicycle to Zheng Juan's house in Taiping Hutong, then threw the bicycle directly in the yard and walked in panting.
Zheng Juan looked at her with a confused look on her face. Zhou Bingkun turned around and locked the door, then said in a complaining tone.
"Why didn't you let Guangming tell me earlier?"
"Don't you hate me very much?
I told you, so what can I do?" After hearing Zhou Bingkun's complaint, Zheng Juan still glued the paper box and said with a sad look on her face.
"Who said I hate you!
Haven't you ever heard that deep love brings deep responsibility?
If you had told me earlier, I would have come here to marry you and go home!" After hearing Zheng Juan's words, Zhou Bingkun said angrily.
"You...what did you say?
Zhou Bingkun, will you marry me?" When she heard that Zhou Bingkun would marry herself, Zheng Juan stopped her movements in surprise and looked at Zhou Bingkun in front of her with wide eyes.
"Yes! Just to marry you, I sent Luo Shibin to hell and persuaded you to get rid of that "evil obstacle"!" Seeing the shock in Zheng Juan's eyes, Zhou Bingkun explained seriously.
"Then...then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Seeing that Zhou Bingkun was serious, Zheng Juan cried excitedly.
Zhou Bingkun hugged Zheng Juan directly and said comfortingly, "It's not too late now!
I want to marry you!
I, Zhou Bingkun, must marry you!"
...
Zhou Bingkun left Zheng Juan's house refreshed, and then returned home whistling all the way. Seeing Zhou Bingkun's happy look, Zhou's mother was quite surprised. They all said that a good child is like a mother, and Zhou Bingkun has always been preoccupied recently.
Mother Zhou could still see it.
"Kun'er, what's wrong with you, why are you so happy!" Looking at her son in front of her, Zhou's mother asked with a smile.
"Oh! Isn't this salary payment?
Of course I'm happy!" Hearing Zhou's mother's doubts, Zhou Bingkun chose to hide it for the time being, and then said casually.
"You bastard, you will lie to your mother and me!
When did you get paid? I was so happy!
There must be something hidden from me!" After hearing her son Zhou Bingkun's explanation, Zhou's mother didn't believe it at all and still said doubtfully.
"By the way, how is that Zheng Juan you talked about last time?
I've never heard you say that again!"
"That Luo Shibin has been shot, Shui Ziliu has been sentenced to twenty years!
Zheng Juan has also aborted her child!
Her life is pretty good now!" After hearing Zhou's mother's doubts, Zhou Bingkun explained.
"Luo Shibin and Shui Ziliu deserved their punishment!
Zheng Juan was right to abort the child!
Otherwise, this child may really become an "evil obstacle" in her life!" After hearing Zheng Juan's current situation, Zhou's mother also said with peace of mind.
"Kun'er, do you want me to introduce someone to Zheng Juan?" Then Zhou's mother suddenly suggested.
“Mom, tell me about you!
Your own son doesn’t have a partner yet!
Although you are thinking about other people's marriages, I have never seen you caring about me so carefully!" After hearing Zhou's mother's suggestion, Zhou Bingkun said complainingly.
"Kun'er, when you say this, why doesn't your face turn red?
Qiao Chunyan is such a good girl. I tried my best to persuade you to be with her, but you refused to agree!
Now you are blaming me!" After hearing her son Zhou Bingkun's complaints against her, Zhou's mother retorted angrily.
"Mom, you should understand that when you marry a virtuous wife, you should understand it!
With Qiao Chunyan's character, she looks up at the mountains. Is she virtuous?
If my job is like my father who is away from home all year round, will she, Qiao Chunyan, stay at home like you?
With her noisy personality, if I don't do well in the future, won't she think I'm incompetent?" Hearing Zhou's mother mention Qiao Chunyan again, Zhou Bingkun analyzed helplessly and said carefully.
Hearing her son Zhou Bingkun's three parallel sentences, Zhou's mother widened her eyes in complete shock and said in disbelief, "Kun'er, when did you see it so clearly?"
"I've always known it in my heart, but out of consideration for our long-standing neighbors, I never explained it!
There is no need to explain!
But marrying Qiao Chunyan is really not as good as marrying Zheng Juan!" Seeing the shock in Zhou's mother's eyes, Zhou Bingkun explained with a wry smile.
"What? You silly boy, you are not interested in Zheng Juan, are you?
I tell you!
Don’t even think about it!
Not even me, even your dad would not agree!" Zhou's mother couldn't understand the meaning of her son Zhou Bingkun's words, and then she said in surprise.
Hearing Zhou's mother's direct rejection, Zhou Bingkun was heartbroken and started to cheat, "Mom, let me tell you a secret, I have been attracted to Zheng Juan for a long time, even earlier than Tu Ziqiang!
When I was in school, I saved a beggar. He said that he used to be a fortune teller, but he became unemployed after the founding of the People's Republic of China!
In order to repay me, he said that there was a girl in Taiping Hutong, and whoever married her would "make a fortune"!
Then he told me that Zheng Juan's life was very difficult at the beginning, and he simply predicted what Zheng Juan would encounter next.
At that time, I thought he was a liar and didn't take him seriously. Then I went to see Zheng Juan secretly. Apart from her beauty, I didn't find anything good about her!
Next, I didn’t take this matter to my heart and soon forgot about it!
Unexpectedly, what happened to Zheng Juan was really as the beggar expected. After such a long period of observation, I found that Zheng Juan is really a "rich woman"!"
"You brat, you're going to fool me!
I won't believe it!
If she was a "rich mother-in-law," how could Tu Ziqiang be shot?" Regarding her son Zhou Bingkun's explanation, Zhou's mother retorted with some doubts.
"Hey, so you are my mother!
Don't say you doubt it, I don't believe it either!
Finally, after getting familiar with it, I figured it out!
It turns out that idiot Tu Ziqiang didn’t even apply for a marriage certificate with Zheng Juan, not even a banquet!
He just used Zheng Juan as a cover to hide the dirty things about himself and Shui Ziliu!
It would be unreasonable for Tu Ziqiang not to be shot!" Hearing that Zhou's mother was doubtful, Zhou Bingkun decided to strike while the iron was hot and said directly.
"Ah? Is what you said true?" Mother Zhou's eyes widened in shock.
"Of course, Mom, do you think I'm that kind of "idiot"?
I am very cautious about marrying a wife!
I would rather be a bachelor for the rest of my life than marry a restless woman like Qiao Chunyan!
She is so capable, if you live with her all your life, you will definitely suffer!" Seeing that Zhou's mother believed it, Zhou Bingkun helplessly said what was in his heart.
"You bastard, Chunyan can't be as unbearable as you say!" Hearing Zhou Bingkun's disgust with Qiao Chunyan, Zhou's mother sighed and retorted.
"Mom, what I said is not exaggerating at all!
It’s not like you can’t see Qiao Chunyan’s strength!
Who can guarantee that everything will go smoothly in the future?
If one day I encounter any setbacks, Qiao Chunyan will not only support me to get up, but will not kick me hard in the back, it will be considered a good thing!" Hearing Zhou's mother's rebuttal, Zhou Bingkun said with a wry smile again.
"Kun'er, have you really identified Zheng Juan?" Mother Zhou heard the firmness in Zhou Bingkun's words.
"Yeah! I wouldn't take what that beggar said seriously!
But I can observe it myself!
As long as you observe carefully, you can draw conclusions about what a person is like.
Mom, you see, Zheng Juan has been lonely and helpless since she was a child. She has been living with her mother and an invisible brother!
Therefore, Zheng Juan has been very sensible since she was a child, and she is not as vain as other girls!
Even though you always look weak, you are actually very strong on the inside!
If I live with her in the future, I will definitely feel at ease in my future family!" Seeing that Zhou's mother was a little shaken, Zhou Bingkun carefully analyzed Zheng Juan's personality.
"Kun'er, what you said makes sense!
Mom also agrees with your point of view!
But where is your dad..." Although she agreed with Zhou Bingkun's view, Zhou's mother still said worriedly.
“My dad’s place is very simple!
After all, it is my own life-long event, and I must make the decision myself!
If Zheng Juan was the kind of woman who likes comparison and vanity, I would have ignored her a long time ago!" Zhou Bingkun said indifferently to Zhou's mother's concerns.
"But, I'm still worried about your dad!"
"In this case, I will bring Zheng Juan to our house tomorrow to show you!
You should observe more and see if I am lying to you!
As for my dad, I will try my best to convince my brother and let him help me convince my dad!
There are five people in our family, and three of them agreed. My sister is a no-nonsense person, and no matter how reluctant my dad is, there is nothing he can do about it!" Seeing that Zhou's mother was still worried about his father, Zhou Zhiqiang, Zhou Bingkun revealed his plan.
"Okay, you can bring Zheng Juan back to me tomorrow!
But, are you sure you can convince your brother to help you?"
"Haha, it's a sure shot!"
...
Hearing Zhou Bingkun's explanation, Zheng Juan was stunned. Zheng Juan's mother and Guangming on the side also looked incredulous. Zheng Juan's mother said in disbelief, "Bingkun, your mother really agrees with you and Zheng Juan."
?”
"Of course! Auntie, my mother knows everything about Zheng Juan and I!
I have never hidden anything from her!" Zhou Bingkun explained with a smile after hearing Zheng Juan's mother's surprise.
"Does your mother also know about Luo Shibin and Tu Ziqiang?" After hearing Zhou Bingkun's explanation, Zheng Juan's mother still said in disbelief.
"I know, if you don't abort that child, I won't choose to accept Zheng Juan!
I originally advised you to abort the child because of the future of Zheng Juan and I!" Zhou Bingkun said what was in his heart.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had said this was the reason, I would have agreed with Zheng Juan to abort the child!" Zheng Juan's mother said with some complaint and regret after hearing Zhou Bingkun's explanation.
...
Zhou Bingkun rode his bicycle and took Zheng Juan to his home. After parking the car, he took Zheng Juan's hand and walked into the house.
"Mom, we are back!"
Hearing her son Zhou Bingkun's voice, Mother Zhou quickly came out to check the situation and saw Zheng Juan directly. Thinking of Zheng Juan's tragic fate, Mother Zhou held Zheng Juan's hand with some distress and said, "You must be Zheng Juan!"
What a good boy, come sit down and chat with Auntie!"
Seeing Zhou's mother bringing Zheng Juan to the back room to chat, Zhou Bingkun walked into the kitchen and started cooking. He was familiar with three hundred Tang poems and could recite them even if he couldn't compose them.
Although Zhou Bingkun was not a professional cook in his previous life, he had eaten a lot of Northeastern dishes and had watched a lot of videos of Northeastern Nao'er brother. He could cook a few home-cooked dishes and fool Zhou's mother and Zheng Juan without any problems.
Mother Zhou and Zheng Juan were chatting inside, not paying attention to Zhou Bingkun outside the house. It was not until she smelled the aroma of the food that Mother Zhou became surprised. She quickly came out to check the situation. When she saw four dishes on the table,
Tang, Mother Zhou was really shocked.
"Kun'er, why didn't I know you could cook?
It seems that Zheng Juan still has more face!
If she hadn't come to my door for the first time today, I might never be able to eat the food cooked by my son in my life!" Looking at her son Zhou Bingkun in front of her, Zhou's mother felt a little strange, and then she said in a sour tone.
Hearing Zhou's mother's joke, Zheng Juan blushed a little, and then complained to Zhou Bingkun in a low voice, "I should be the one to cook!"
Hearing Zheng Juan's words, Zhou Bingkun smiled and said lovingly, "When we get married, the kitchen will be yours!"
My mother won’t let her touch it!”
Hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, Zheng Juan's face turned even redder, but Zhou's mother beside her said complainingly, "When you marry a daughter-in-law, you forget about your mother!"
How could Mother Zhou not see the affection her son Zhou Bingkun showed when he looked at Zheng Juan?
Seeing that her son had found the girl he liked, Zhou's mother was also very happy, but thinking about that old stubborn Zhou Zhiqiang, she became a little worried.
A simple lunch ended quickly. Zhou's mother and Zheng Juan were very satisfied. Unexpectedly, it tasted really good.
Zheng Juan scrambled to put away the dishes and chopsticks. Mother Zhou looked at all this, but her heart became more and more satisfied. Only then did she truly agree with Zhou Bingkun's vision.
After chatting for a while after the meal, Zhou Bingkun sent Zheng Juan back to Taiping Hutong. When she returned to her home, Zhou's mother said worriedly, "Kun'er, Zheng Juan is indeed a good girl!
But I'm still worried about your dad, he's just a stubborn old man!"
"Zheng Juan is also a serious first marriage, and she is so sensible and considerate of her family. Why should my father be dissatisfied!
As for her past unfortunate experiences, if we don’t tell them, my dad won’t know either!
Even if you know, it's not a big deal!" After hearing Zhou's mother's worries, Zhou Bingkun said helplessly.
"this..."
"That's it! In a few days, if we have a good day, Zheng Juan and I will get the marriage certificate first, and give my dad a break first!" Zhou Bingkun said firmly in the end.
