In 1998, the Zhou family returned to Jichun again.
They came back this time to attend the funeral of Hao Gaoguan.
Ever since Hao Dongmei adopted the little Dujuan, Hao Gaoguan and Jin Yueji have been raising their granddaughter at home, and their lives have been very happy.
The Hao family and the Zhou family would also get together once every year and festival to maintain the basic respect between the in-laws.
This time the Zhou family came back. In addition to attending the funeral, Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua also wanted to return to their roots and did not want to return to the capital again.
When people grow old, they think about their old houses and old neighbors.
Although Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua were in good health, as their grandchildren grew up, they had nothing to do in the capital, so they considered moving back to their hometown.
They are not ready to go back to the house Wang Gang bought. They want to go back to the photo album.
For this reason, the old couple even called their three children to discuss the matter.
"I have no objection to my parents returning to Jichun. I am now in charge of the work in Jichun. In the future, my parents can live with me and I will be responsible for taking care of them." Zhou Bingyi immediately expressed his attitude.
Zhou Rong said dissatisfied: "Brother, you and your sister-in-law are usually busy with work, so you don't have time to take care of your parents. It just so happens that Xiaoguang has been transferred back to Jichun. Naturally, I will come back with you. My parents will live with me from now on."
Wang Gang said: "Actually, Zheng Juan and I can move back to Jichun. Anyway, Zhou Cong is already working, and Zhou Ming has to take the college entrance examination. It will be the same wherever we live, and our parents are used to living with us."
The three of them quarreled over the issue of supporting their parents in old age, but Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua were very happy.
Can you be unhappy? Other families don't want to provide for the elderly. You push me. The Zhou family is better off. With three children competing to support the elderly, everyone would be happy.
"Don't argue. Your mother and I have discussed that we move back to Guangzipian and you three can pay for us to have a nanny. We are not old enough to take care of ourselves." Zhou Zhigang finally made the final decision.
"That won't work." The three brothers and sisters said in unison.
Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua both choked.
"Dad, we don't object to your return to Jichun, but we really can't live there anymore," Wang Gang said.
"Yes! The Guangzi Film is currently being planned and renovated. The place is almost empty and there is no place for people to live in it." Zhou Bingyi also said.
"How come I don't know when the optical lettering film will be renovated?" Zhou Zhigang said in surprise.
Zhou Bingyi and Wang Gang looked at each other, and then said: "I have been planning to transform the optical film a few years ago. The biggest regret of Dongmei's father's life is that he did not touch the poor man's nest in Jichun."
Zhou Zhigang said happily: "This is a great thing. Not to mention Dongmei's father, your mother and I have been looking forward to getting better and better."
Zhou Bingyi smiled and said: "Dad, you may not know that phototypes can be transformed, and it's all thanks to your little son."
Zhou Zhigang looked at Wang Gang in confusion and said, "Bingkun, is your business involved?"
"Why not?" Zhou Bingyi said with a strange smile: "Bingkun is now a big landowner in Guangzipian, and all the houses and land are in his name."
Zhou Zhigang said "Ah" in surprise.
"Bingkun, did you buy the phototypes?"
Wang Gang was rarely embarrassed and said: "Dad, don't listen to big brother's nonsense. How could I possibly buy all the phototypes?"
Zhou Bingyi smiled and said: "Even if it's not 100%, it's probably 80%!"
This time Wang Gang was not humble and nodded silently.
In fact, over the years, Wang Gang has never given up on acquiring houses in Guangzipian. He entrusted Tu Zhiqiang to buy houses from Guangzipian's old neighbors whenever he had the opportunity. Of course, the prices were a little higher than the market price.
Nowadays, eight out of ten Guangzi film households have the surname Zhou, so the transformation of Guangzi films can go so smoothly.
"I really want to go back and see what the phototype films are like now," Li Suhua sighed.
Zhou Bingyi smiled and said: "This is not easy. I will arrange a car right now. Our family of five has not been back to see it for a long time."
Zhou Rong said happily: "This is a good idea, we can just go back to our old place."
Zhou Zhigang said with some scruples: "Bingyi, it's not appropriate for you to arrange the car. Will you be accused of being a self-serving person?"
Wang Gang smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry. Brother only said about arranging a car, not a bus."
Zhou Bingyi rolled his eyes at Wang Gang and said, "You are the only one who is smart."
Sure enough, Zhou Bingyi arranged for two taxis and never thought of using the bus for private use.
The money for the taxi was naturally provided by Wang Gang, a wealthy man.
The Zhou family of five returned to Guangzi Film, but they could only stand at the intersection and look at it from a distance, unable to enter at all.
Because the house in Guangzipian was basically bulldozed and turned into a vacant lot, no one could enter.
When Zhou Zhigang saw the almost ruined phototype film, he couldn't help but said sadly: "I didn't expect that the phototype chip would be like this?"
Wang Gang said with a smile: "Dad, don't look at the picture as it is now. By next year, high-rise buildings will be built here and it will become a high-end modern community. I have also prepared the best villa for you."
Zhou Zhigang said: "I still think our previous house was the best. Although my family was poor at that time, the family was happiest living under one roof."
Zhou Rong said deliberately: "Dad, you mean you are unhappy now!"
Zhou Zhigang burst out laughing: "With the happiness we have now, seeing the three of you living happily in your own family is the greatest happiness for your mother and I."
Wang Gang and the three looked at each other and smiled.
"Old man, look over there, is that our house?" Li Suhua suddenly pointed at the ruins ahead and said.
Zhou Zhigang looked up and vaguely remembered that it was the direction of their home, but it was now flat land and the houses had long been gone.
"Dad, don't you blame me for pushing down our house on my own initiative?" Wang Gang said worriedly when he saw Zhou Zhigang's uncertain expression.
Zhou Zhigang snorted coldly: "The house has been pushed down. What can I say now, but I tell you, if our house is not built as good as before, I will skin you."
Zhou Bingyi smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry! I'm personally watching this project. If anyone dares to cut corners, my brother will have no mercy."
Only then was Zhou Zhigang satisfied. He looked around at the optical film again and suddenly found two dilapidated small houses that had not been demolished. He said strangely:
“Bingkun, why are there still two houses that haven’t been pushed forward?”
Zhou Bingyi and Wang Gang's expressions darkened at the same time.
"Dad, there are still two families in Guangzipian who are not satisfied with the demolition conditions and refuse to move out." Zhou Bingyi said with a stern face.
Li Suhua said worriedly: "You two brothers are not making things difficult for me, right? We used to be neighbors."
Wang Gang snorted coldly: "Of course we don't dare to make things difficult for others. If they don't want to move, just let them live there."
Zhou Zhigang asked: "Which two households are they? If it doesn't work, just give them more."
Wang Gang snorted coldly: "It's not that I don't want to pay more, it's that they ask for too much and I can't afford it."
Li Suhua asked: "How much does the other party want?"
Wang Gang replied: "A house at the original address, plus 10 million demolition compensation."
When everyone heard this, Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua stopped talking immediately, and Zhou Rong even jumped up on the spot.
"They are crazy. Just these two small shabby houses, which are worth 10 million, and they still want a house on the original site. How can they have the face!"
Zhou Bingyi sighed and said: "Some people are greedy and push themselves to the limit. The terms of demolition were originally negotiated, but they regretted it in the end and refused to move even to death. I also personally tried to persuade them."
Zhou Zhigang frowned and said, "Do we know who the other party is? Otherwise, your mother and I will go and persuade him."
Wang Gang quickly stopped and said, "Dad, please don't go. I'm afraid you'll get angry. I've already found someone to look at the two houses. Those two houses are on the edge of the phototype, and they won't affect the overall renovation plan at all."
Li Suhua said: "Bingkun, tell me if I know those two families!"
Wang Gang fell silent and refused to speak.
Finally it was Zhou Bingyi who spoke out.
"It's Aunt Qiao's house, and Sun Qianchao's ex-wife Yu Hong."
Li Suhua was very surprised when she heard this: "Why are they?"
Wang Gang snorted coldly: "They planned carefully and sensed the problem in advance. They bought the two cheapest houses when the demolition was about to happen and hurriedly went through the transfer process."
Zhou Bingyi also said angrily: "According to the terms of the demolition, their two families do not enjoy the demolition subsidy at all. I have made concessions and divided the house to them according to the original area, but they are still not satisfied. They insist on the house at the original site and want another thousand yuan."
10,000 in demolition money.”
Wang Gang added: "If the conditions are not agreed upon, they will not move out, even if there is no water or electricity in the house."
Zhou Zhigang frowned and said, "Chunyan comes here for free, and Aunt Qiao spoils her!"
Li Suhua explained: "Aunt Qiao had a falling out with her two daughters a few years ago, so she had no choice but to live with Chunyan. She might not be able to do anything about it."
Zhou Zhigang said angrily: "No, we have to take care of this matter."
Wang Gang pulled Zhou Zhigang and said, "Dad, I can really handle this matter without your intervention."
Zhou Zhigang shook off Wang Gang's hand and said, "Get out of the way, I'll go meet them."
