The Zhou family enjoyed a good time in the photon film. Zhou Bingkun, who originally felt aggrieved because of being left out, was now the target of praise from the couple.
Also, although Zhou Bingkun in this life was not admitted to a prestigious university, he was still an undergraduate. In an era when junior high school graduates were common, it was already a big deal for a family to have one college student, and the Zhou family had four at once.
What's wrong with not being a famous university? If you have the ability, you can take the exam and see?
Not to mention that Zhou Bingkun has been taking care of the family these years, which makes Zhou Zhigang's face look brighter.
The photon film went around in a circle, and when I got home, it was another big meal. Isn’t the Chinese New Year just about eating and drinking? Every meal has to be different.
In the afternoon, when everyone was taking a lunch break, Gao Bin took Xu Bing back to the compound, firstly to finalize the time for the New Year's party between the two families, and secondly to talk about the Hao family.
Xu Hesong is not as busy as Lao Hao, but he cannot stay at home every day.
Today is the 29th of the Lunar New Year. These big leaders have to go to the grassroots to express condolences, and Xu Hesong is the same.
When they went home, only Xu's mother was at home.
When I saw my uncle came back, I immediately welcomed him warmly.
"Binzi is back?"
"Hey, Mom, when should we meet first? My godfather and the others won't be able to stay for a few days before they have to go back to the third level."
Mother Xu signaled them to do it and asked her aunt to help pour water.
"I'll make sure with your dad when he comes back tonight. You know they have a lot of things to do during the Chinese New Year."
"Okay, if you're sure, call me and let me know."
"Okay, Xiaobing, eat the fruit quickly."
"Mom, I don't want to eat anymore. I had chicken and fish for lunch, and I'm full."
"It's true that you haven't eaten less. It seems that Binzi has raised you well. Look at your little face."
Women, you have to pay attention to your figure at all times. Xu Bing was not happy when he heard this:
"Mom, I didn't. I just had a physical examination a year ago and I gained two pounds."
Mother Xu certainly hopes that her children will be fat and healthy, as that is a sign of good fortune.
"Haha, it's better to be fatter. You will have the strength to give birth to children. You two have been married for a long time. Why is there no movement in your belly?"
Just after talking about her weight, she then talked about her children. This was to embarrass Xu Bing to death. The girl refused and ran back to her hut to sleep.
Gao Bin happened to be chatting with Xu’s mother about Lao Hao.
As soon as the situation of his father's Hao family was briefly explained, Xu's mother immediately said:
"This Jin Yueji, she is getting older, and she is still putting on airs. If you ask me, it is because she has been too lighthearted in the past few years and has forgotten her roots!"
Xu's mother was so angry that she didn't know if the two old ladies had conflicts before.
"Mom, if you have time later, or if you meet the Hao family, you may want to help persuade them. This is not a problem. My godfather and godmother are both honest and responsible workers. What bad intentions can I have?"
Mother Xu nodded:
"Who says it's not the case? Looking back, I saw that she had to talk to her carefully. It stands to reason that our two families are related. Others dare not say it, but I dare to say it."
Gao Bin laughed along:
"Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
"It's okay, it should be. How are you at work? If you encounter trouble, remember to go find Xiaobing's father."
"It's no trouble. There are just too many cases and we can't handle them. It doesn't bother Dad to take action."
"We are all our own people, so there is nothing to worry about. But I know a little bit about it. Your department is a start-up, and we are all trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. It is understandable that we will be stressed."
Gao Bin nodded yes:
"Take your time, I know dad helped me carry a lot of pressure, otherwise I wouldn't be as nourished as I am now."
"That's what he should do. If you don't help your own child, who will help you? Xiaobing's brother is in the army, and the government will have to rely on you to support him from now on."
The Xu family is not so old-fashioned and feudal, and they must take everything they need. This kind of thinking of taking advantage of others is very prescient.
Gao Bin somewhat guessed what Lao Xu was thinking, and his ambitions were not limited to just this corner of Jiangliao.
But at his position, whether he can still move up depends not only on strategizing, but also on the right time and place.
In other words, it depends on whether God will give it to you. If you don’t give it, you can’t take it hard. Otherwise, there will be reincarnation in the way of heaven, and there will be retribution sooner or later!
That’s it for now, no more words.
"I am now a deputy director, and I probably won't move again in the short term. After all, my age is at stake here, and being promoted too quickly can easily lead to criticism."
"Try to accumulate as much merit as possible. Once you have merit, no one will dare to use age as an excuse!"
After a pause, Mrs. Xu glanced in the direction of the kitchen and said in a low voice:
"I heard your dad mention it a few days ago that there is a deputy director in your department who is about to retire. The person who will take over will most likely be the director named Li from your bureau."
Gao Bin was stunned. This was first-hand information, and he didn't know if he could use it.
"What does dad mean?"
"If you have someone you can trust, you might as well talk to your dad."
After Xu’s mother clicked until she clicked, Gao Bin understood and didn’t ask further questions. Some things don’t need to be explained clearly!
After Xu Bing woke up, Gao Bin sent her home, but he did not enter the house, but went to the No. 1 Prison!
"Team Gao?"
The gatekeeper recognized Gao Bin at a glance. After all, he was the 'big shot' who had walked out of their prison, and he couldn't help but fawn over him.
"I'm here to chat with Laoguan, do I still need to register?"
"Captain Gao is joking. Everyone who comes has to register. You don't have to. Come in quickly. It's too cold."
"Haha, the rules can't be broken."
He went to the reception room and simply drew a stroke and it was registered. It was a formality so that it wouldn't embarrass anyone.
"Captain Gao feels sorry for Xiao Xiao." The man praised him sincerely.
Gao Bin took out a lotus flower from his arms and threw it:
"Split it with the brothers. I came here temporarily. I didn't bring too much, so don't take it too little."
"Eh? Captain Gao Renyi, I didn't say anything. If anyone dislikes you, I will be the first to slap him."
"Haha, get busy, I'm going in."
The prison is still the same, except there are some new faces, and Gao Bin doesn't even recognize them.
We walked all the way to Building 1 and went straight to the deputy warden's office. We didn't knock on the door, just opened the door and went in.
I haven’t seen Guan Dahai’s person yet, but the voice came out first:
"Who is it? Do you understand the rules?"
The next second, when he saw Gao Bin in casual clothes, Guan Dahai laughed out loud:
"It's you, kid. I'll tell you no one in our prison dares to break into my office."
Guan Dahai probably just woke up and still has the energy to wake up.
"Haha, Brother Hai, you are getting more and more angry."
"Aren't you angry at the new brat? You said it's the same with the higher-ups. If a bunch of related people come in, I can't beat them or scold them. I can't do this job anymore!"
Gao Bin sat down on the sofa, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and lit one for himself:
"Looks like I didn't come here in vain."
Guan Dahai has made some progress, unlike when he was here, he didn't like to use his brain at all.
"What do you mean?"
Gao Bin glanced at the closed office door, nodded and said:
"How about coming all the way here?"
"Okay, that's interesting. I still think about my brother when something good happens."
"That's right, I'll take you to meet my father-in-law later. There will be a vacancy in the city bureau soon. I'll give you some time to do some exercise. We two brothers will fight in the city again!"
Guan Dahai reacted very quickly:
"Really? Where exactly?"
"The second in command in the city bureau, in a few years, the boss will be yours!"
"Fuck, do you have so much energy now?"
"You don't even look at who is behind me."
Guan Dahai patted his forehead:
"Look at my brain. Come on, brother, smoke this. Lao Lu just gave it to me. It's a special cigarette."
Gao Bin took a look:
"Hey, panda? You can do it, Brother Hai, hide it deeply!"
"I can hide my shit, but I'm still not Lao Lu? I have a strong relationship."
"That's right. Lao Lu hid it well enough and went to the capital quietly. When he comes back, the position of prison boss in our province will be his, right?"
Guan Dahai smoked happily:
"Nine times out of ten, but as you know, Lao Lu doesn't like to talk."
"Well, then you think about it yourself. If you follow Lao Lu, you can become the boss here later."
Guan Dahai waved his hand:
"Don't think about it, brother, I'm fooling around with you. It's hard to figure out what Lao Lu is thinking. If you stay with him for a long time, brother will definitely become mentally ill."
"Really don't think about it anymore? There are not many people available to Lao Lu. As long as you hold your thigh tightly, that's the power of Conglong!"
"No, Lao Lu stepped on Fan Pixiu and went to the capital to study in less than two months. I knew at that time that his ambition was not in Jiangliao. I have ambitions, but not much. I can retire in the city bureau.
That’s enough.”
Gao Bin looked at Guan Dahai thoughtfully and said with a smile:
"Why do I think you are afraid that someone will settle the score later?"
The current No. 1 prison boss was parachuted in. He was unreasonable and cut off everyone’s extra income as soon as he arrived. He even killed several chickens in a row. Anyone with a discerning eye would know which monkey he was trying to scare.
"If we see through it but don't tell it, we are still good brothers." Guan Dahai muttered.
"Haha, okay, I'll withdraw first. Remember to go find me during the Chinese New Year and buy something good."
"Don't worry, I won't forget it. When do you think it will be done?"
"As long as Lao Xu nods, it will only take a few months."
Guan Dahai breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good. Let's go back to the Guobin Hotel and I'll treat you alone."
"Save it for now. I'm going to let my younger brother take over a hotel. Then you can support me."
"Then just two meals, it's nothing!"
...
After coming out of prison, Gao Bin went home directly, just in time for dinner, so he sat down and ate again.
Another day comes, New Year's Eve, the day that I have been waiting for for 12 years has finally arrived. Li Suhua is full of laughter with tears and unconcealable happiness.
It's a pity that there is no Spring Festival Gala, so everyone can only stay up late with model operas.
If you want to watch the Spring Festival Gala, you have to wait two years.
However, this warm and harmonious day also changed Zhou Rong's thoughts.
No, on the morning of New Year's Day, everyone was eating peanuts and chatting. Zhou Rong looked at her daughter running around with Zhou Nan and suddenly said:
"I have decided to come back after graduation and not take the postgraduate entrance examination."
Everyone was stunned when they heard her sudden decision. Why did this person think so suddenly? She was so determined to take the postgraduate entrance examination before.
"Zhou Rong, you are back, what should you do with the transformation?" Zhou Zhigang asked.
"Huacheng, you should come back too. There are too many talented people in the capital. You are the only one missing. You would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. When you return to Jichun, you will be the number one!" Zhou Rong said.
Zhou Bingkun helped:
"A few days ago I met Shao, the editor-in-chief of Golden Land magazine, and he asked my brother-in-law when he would be back."
Zhou Zhigang was not in a hurry to agree with his daughter:
"Beijing is the capital after all. All aspects of development are good, and Yueyue can also receive a good education there."
"I don't think, let's not talk about whether we have the conditions to take Yueyue over, let's just say that my brother, me, and Binzi Bingkun are all made of photonic films? We should take the college entrance examination." p>
Perhaps to comfort herself, Zhou Rong and Li Suhua made a big deal again:
"Mom, when I graduate, I will come back to take care of you and stay with you every day."
Li Suhua doesn't want to think so much. In her heart, it's better if her children are by her side.
Zhou Zhigang said:
"Rong, your mother and I are very touched by your filial piety, but you don't have to worry about your family. There are Bingkun, Juaner, and Binzi. See how well your mother takes care of you?"<
/p>
He sighed:
"I will retire in three years, and I will be able to accompany your mother by then. If you come back for the sake of your family, there is no need for you."
Zhou Rong wanted to continue saying that Gao Bin had spoken out. If he remained silent, Feng Huacheng's theory of "nourishing the mouth and body, nourishing the mind" would come out again.
Gao Bin doesn't want to hear it, he's not arrogant enough.
"Mom and Dad, Zhou Rong is not a child anymore. She has her own ideas. Let's not interfere too much. Anyway, I will just say, come back, there will be a place for you to live at home. If you don't come back, Yueyue will stay with me."
Just like a daughter."
This is the first time that Zhou Rong has a different view of Gao Bin. It seems that this person who has been against her since childhood is not bad at all.
Zhou Zhigang definitely has a high regard for Gao Bin now, and no matter what he says, he can listen to it.
"Haha, that's right. Hey, I'm old and my thinking can't keep up with you young people. Okay, I don't care. Rong, you decide for yourself."
Zhou Rong glanced at Feng Huacheng and saw that his face was not particularly good-looking, so she no longer insisted on the idea of returning to Jichun for development.
Of course, since she wants to stay in the capital, Yueyue has to stay at home.
Gao Bin definitely has no objection. For so many years, he has treated Feng Yue like his own daughter. The little girl also likes him. She often falls asleep and goes to their house to find her second uncle and second aunt.
Moreover, this girl will not be a bad person in my own hands. If she is left in Zhou Rong's hands, haha...
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, we originally planned to go to the compound to meet Xu Bing's parents, but they considered that the Zhou family has a large population and it would be troublesome to go back and forth. Secondly, because of Lao Hao's relationship, they were afraid that the two parties would be embarrassed when they met, so they simply ran away.
Let’s take a trip.
It was so early in the morning that Zhou Zhigang sent the whole family to clean up as he did to welcome Hao Dongmei's parents in the original plot.
Gao Bin tried to persuade him in vain, so he had no choice but to let the old man enjoy himself and pick up a broom to clean the yard.
The dignified criminal investigation captain is sweeping up fallen leaves, which is not a good omen no matter how you look at it.
Also with him is Zhou Bingyi, who makes the two of them older.
Zhou Bingkun was assigned to clean the toilet, and Feng Huacheng was rushed to the Shengli Store. Obviously, the things at home were enough, but in Zhou Zhigang's view, the more big leaders visited, the better, and they were prepared.
The female family members are mainly responsible for cleaning the house, cleaning the windows, wiping the table, and cooking. Even the two younger ones were assigned the task of taking out the trash. It was really a full-scale mobilization of the whole family.
Zhou Zhigang was so happy that he didn't take into account the thoughts of Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei for a while. In the end, Gao Bin had to step in to smooth things over.
"Brother, are you not happy?"
While sweeping the snow in the yard, I chatted with Zhou Bingyi.
"No, I'm not happy about anything."
"Pull him down, look at your donkey face, your chin is almost touching the ground." Gao Bin showed no mercy.
"Screw you, you have such a donkey face. I'm actually fine. I've gotten used to it over the years. Mainly Dongmei, she must be feeling uncomfortable now."
Gao Bin nodded:
"This is human nature, but don't blame our dad. He has simple ideas and has no intention of showing off."
"I know, that's my biological father, how can I still not understand?"
"As for my sister-in-law, the person who tied the bell must be tied to untie it. The root of this matter lies with Lao Hao. If he doesn't let go, the knot will never be untied for the rest of his life."
Zhou Bingyi made a movement in his hand:
"Then what do you think we should do about this matter? No matter what, I can't take the initiative to tell Dongmei's parents."
"I told my mother-in-law, and she promised to help persuade her, but no one knows whether it will have any effect. Sister-in-law, please say more nice things. If we really fall out with the family, there will be no room for maneuver."
Gao Bingyi sighed:
"Yes, even if you don't live at home, at least you can't cut off contact."
"Are you still insisting on returning to Jichun after graduation?" Gao Bin asked instead.
"I must come back."
"Well, if you need anything, tell me and find someone to do some exercise so you don't end up sitting on the bench."
"No, don't worry about this."
He didn't want to be misunderstood by Hao Dongmei's parents. On the one hand, the old couple didn't mind going through the back door for the guard's wife, but on the other hand, they refused to give Zhou Bingyi the green light. Who knows what they were thinking, it was double standards to the extreme.
Gao Bin didn't try to persuade him any more. Anyway, the words were left here. It was Zhou Bingyi's business whether he should use it or not. He couldn't feed food into other people's mouths, right?
The morning was spent in general cleaning, and lunch was just make-do without going into trouble. As a result, everyone was tired and didn't have enough to eat all morning.
Gao Bin couldn't help it anymore, so he ordered Bingkun to go out and buy 5 kilograms of big meat buns, and then he was full.
"Oh, this house will look brighter once it is tidied up." Zhou Zhigang took the buns and was satisfied.
"Dad, it's a shame that Xiaobing's parents don't come here every day, otherwise all of us in the house would get sick from exhaustion."
Gao Bin was also speechless. He was speechless when he was watching the TV series, but now he is even more speechless when he is in it.
"What do you know? Although the two families are related to each other, they are big leaders after all and cannot be neglected."
Xu Bing said quickly:
"Dad, you are overthinking it. My parents are very easy to get in touch with, so you don't need to be so concerned."
"You want what you want, you young people, you are right to listen to me. Not only your parents, but when Dongmei's parents come, we will also have to deal with it like this."
The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. Hao Dongmei was originally absent-minded. When she heard this, she was so aggrieved that she almost cried.
Fortunately, Gao Bin responded quickly and hurriedly changed the topic:
"Bingkun, go back and wait at the intersection ahead. Watch for the cars to help guide you. Don't take the wrong intersection."
Zhou Bingkun showed off a big mouthful of buns, nodded and said:
"Don't worry, brother, I'll go to the street and wait there after I finish eating."
Xu Bing said:
"There's no need to go so early. I'm supposed to arrive at 4 p.m., and it's only less than 2 p.m. If I go early, I'll be freezing."
