Chapter 579 Apology, Sensitive Light, Heirloom
Seeing that Zhou Chen really had no intention of blaming and leaving, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that they want to curry favor with Zhou Chen, but that they really don't want to have any gaps with Zhou Chen. After all, they have been friends for so many years and cherish this friendship very much.

The three of them returned to the house. At this time, Wu Qian and the three of them had almost finished the food, and the wine was also placed on the table.

Seeing Zhou Chen and the others coming in, Wu Qian immediately greeted with a smile: "Bingkun, you are here."

Zhou Chen replied politely: "Wu Qian, I'm really bothering you today."

Wu Qian: "Why bother, I use your house to entertain you, and we should be the ones to say thank you."

She is very pungent, sometimes selfish and ruthless, but in this matter, she is still very grateful to Zhou Chen, if Zhou Chen hadn't given them the house, they would have squeezed into the same kang with their parents-in-law and mother-in-law On, that is aggrieved.

Yu Hong was a shy woman, she just nodded at Zhou Chen and didn't speak.

Compared with Wu Qian, she has no friendship with Zhou Chen. Even when she was working in the bathhouse, she often heard Qiao Chunyan complain about Zhou Chen.

If her man hadn't said that Zhou Chen was righteous, she would have thought that Zhou Chen was a villain who turned his face and refused to recognize anyone.

While the few people were talking, someone knocked on the door suddenly, Xiao Guoqing immediately said with a smile: "Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao must be here, I'll go and open the door."

When the door opened, it was indeed Qiao Chunyan, but there was no sign of Cao Debao.

"Chunyan, why are you here alone?" Xiao Guoqing asked in surprise.

Qiao Chunyan replied with a smile on her face: "Debao has something to do at home today, so I came here alone."

Entering the room, she looked at everyone and greeted: "Catch up, Wu Qian, Yu Hong, and brother, Juan'er, you are all here, everyone is quite together."

Wu Qian quickly pulled Qiao Chunyan over and said, "Come on, Chunyan, come and sit down."

Sun Chanchao joked: "Chunyan, Debao didn't come today, so you have to drink a few more drinks for him, or we won't let you go."

Qiao Chunyan said boldly: "Of course, you can drink as much as you want. Who is afraid of anyone? Even though you are a man, you may not be able to drink better than me."

"Haha, catch up, you've been underestimated." Xiao Guoqing laughed.

It's fine if Cao Debao didn't come, so everyone would be more open-minded. After all, apart from the three foreign wives, Qiao Chunyan and Zhou Chen had known each other since childhood.

After Qiao Chunyan came, Zhou Chen didn't talk anymore, didn't go to see Qiao Chunyan, and didn't participate in their chat, just sat with Zheng Juan.

Zheng Juan knew Zhou Chen best. She gently shook Zhou Chen's hand, telling Zhou Chen not to be angry.

The food was all on the table soon, Xiao Guoqing picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for everyone.

"Happy today, everyone have a drink."

When it fell to Zheng Juan, both Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan stretched out their hands to stop her.

"Zheng Juan can't drink."

Wu Qian smiled and said, "What's the matter, do you feel sorry for Juan'er? It's okay to have a drink for Chinese New Year."

Zhou Chen said: "She is like you, she can't drink now."

Wu Qian's eyes widened instantly, and she said in surprise, "Juan'er, are you pregnant again?"

Only then did the others understand why Zhou Chen didn't let Zheng Juan drink.

Zheng Juan nodded generously and said, "Well, I just found out not long ago."

"Congratulations, Zheng Juan, among us women, you are the first to have a second child."

Several women congratulated Zheng Juan.

Qiao Chunyan was even more amazed: "Yes, congratulations, Zheng Juan. If it were me, I would definitely not dare to have a second child, because I definitely can't afford it. My brother is capable and dares to have a second child. Our family If Debao was half as capable as my brother, I would dare to raise two and three children."

Taking advantage of the congratulations, she looked at Zhou Chen again, apologetic.

"Brother, why don't you say a word, are you still blaming me and Debao, brother, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about us, I have already educated Debao, and we have realized our mistakes , how can you forgive us?"

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious, and several people stopped talking and looked at Zhou Chen.

Facing Qiao Chunyan's 'sincere' eyes, Zhou Chen didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart. He had already seen clearly who Qiao Chunyan was.

At this moment, she seemed to be sincerely apologizing, but Zhou Chen scoffed at it.

If you really realize your mistake and want to apologize, you can come to the door with Cao Debao to apologize in person, which will appear more sincere.

But in fact, Qiao Chunyan suddenly apologized at this time, this place, when everyone gathered for dinner.

What is this for?Apology like moral kidnapping?
If he doesn't accept it, will it make other people think that he is unreasonable?

So Qiao Chunyan's so-called apology, apart from making him more disgusted, didn't feel the slightest sincerity.

Zheng Juan's hand under the table gently tugged at Zhou Chen again.

Zhou Chen understood what Zheng Juan meant, but would he care?

"Chunyan, you don't need to apologize, neither you nor Cao Debao did anything wrong, so there's no need to apologize to me."

Qiao Chunyan immediately asked with a grievance on her face: "Brother, I know we went too far, but your lord has a lot, please forgive us this time, we know our mistake, we really know our mistake."

Zhou Chen said in a blunt tone: "I told you, you didn't do anything wrong, so you don't need to apologize. Today is the day for us to have a small gathering, and there are not many times in the whole year that we can get together like this, so don't disturb everyone's elegance. National Day, catch up, come, let's go one."

Zhou Chen's attitude made the atmosphere at the dinner table even weirder.

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao looked at each other, raised their wine glasses at the same time, and responded with a smile: "Okay, let's go."

Compared with Qiao Chunyan, the two of them must be closer to Zhou Chen. At the same time, they also saw that Qiao Chunyan's apology was really insincere.

Qiao Chunyan's complexion suddenly became very ugly. She had already made mental preparations before she came. She originally wanted Cao Debao to come with her, but Cao Debao couldn't live or die, so she had to come alone in the end.

Although she was mentally prepared, when she saw Zhou Chen's indifferent attitude, she still felt cold in her heart.

In fact, the reason why she apologized was not because she really thought she was wrong, but more because of what Cao Debao said that day at Ma Shouchang's house.

As for the previous incident, she felt that they were not wrong. It was because she overestimated her relationship with Zhou Chen, and it was because Zhou Chen was too ruthless.

The reason for apologizing is that she just wants to repair the relationship with Zhou Chen. After all, Zhou Chen is getting more and more capable now, maybe they will be useful to Zhou Chen in the future, so she wants to repair the relationship with Zhou Chen for the future. prepare.

With such a mentality, how sincere can her apology be?She felt that she was bowing her head, but in fact, she was still putting on airs, without any sincerity.

Zhou Chen, who has lived for so many years, can't see through Qiao Chunyan's little thoughts.

Although Wu Qian and Yu Hong wanted to ease the atmosphere, seeing Zhou Chen's attitude, they didn't dare to say anything.

Although the meal was eaten to the end, the atmosphere was really awkward. Zhou Chen and Qiao Chunyan had no communication during the whole process. In the end, Qiao Chunyan couldn't take it anymore and left early.

Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan also stayed for a while, then left and went home.

Xiao Guoqing sighed heavily as he looked at the table full of uneaten food.

"Wu Qian, next time we have dinner with Kun'er, don't call me Chunyan, it's so embarrassing."

Wu Qian was still dissatisfied.

"I didn't know it would be like this. It seems that Bingkun is really angry and doesn't give Chunyan any face."

Xiao Guoqing scolded: "Can you blame Kun'er for being angry? Look at what Chunyan and his wife did. Kun'er lent them their house for half a year, but they refused to leave. You don't want any face, can you blame Kun'er?"

Wu Qian said: "That's right, but Bingkun is too ruthless. After all, he grew up together, and Chunyan has apologized to his neighbors for so many years."

"You know shit."

Xiao Guoqing cursed: "Qiao Chunyan looks like she's apologizing? Not to mention Kun'er, even if it were me, I wouldn't forgive her. Who is this? Don't learn from Qiao Chunyan."

"I have nothing to learn from her."

Wu Qian had lingering fears. She had really thought about staying here before. Fortunately, Xiao Guoqing didn't agree. Otherwise, their relationship with Zhou Chen would very likely become the same as Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao now.

On the way home, Zheng Juan asked Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, are you still angry with Chunyan?"

Zhou Chen said: "It's not that I'm angry, it's just that I'm annoyed by her self-assertion. Although she was bluffing before, she wasn't annoying, but now, she really has changed a lot. I don't know if she was brought by Cao Debao."

Zheng Juan patted Zhou Chen's junior gently, and said softly: "After all, Chunyan has known you for so many years, and her mother has such a good relationship with our mother, I don't think it's necessary to make the relationship so rigid. "

Zhou Chen: "Some things are not as simple as you think, and people's hearts are unpredictable. I know you have good intentions, but some people may not come with good intentions. Forget it, don't think about it, just leave it to me. "

Zheng Juan murmured softly: "I'm not a child, I know what you're thinking, but I think there are some things that don't need to be fussed about too much, sometimes it's a blessing to suffer."

Zhou Chen smiled casually, and at a glance, he knew that he didn't have much social experience, and a loss is a blessing, so he deceived simple-minded people. Who in society would like to suffer?

After Qiao Chunyan got home, she told Cao Debao about the matter, and the two started arguing without saying a few words.

Qiao Chunyan was enraged, and when she saw Cao Debao, who was worthless, she felt even angrier.

Cao Debao is also not a good tempered person, he usually tolerates it, but today Qiao Chunyan scolded him too badly, so he couldn't bear it anymore, and started to fuck with Qiao Chunyan directly.

It was a good New Year, but when the two of them quarreled, the joy of the New Year disappeared immediately.

When Zhou Chen returned home, he found that Zheng Guangming was the only one in the house, and the rest were not at home. After asking Guangming, he found out that Zhou Zhigang and the others took Zhou Rui out to play.

Zhou Chen didn't look for it either, and helped Zheng Juan clean up the room.

While busy, Zheng Guangming suddenly walked in with a hesitant expression, as if he had something to say.

After Zhou Chen saw it, he asked suspiciously: "Guangming, do you have something to tell us?"

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Zheng Juan also stopped moving, turned her head, and looked at Zheng Guangming in confusion.

Zheng Guangming hesitated for a long time, and Zheng Juan was even more puzzled.

"Guangming, what's the matter with you, just say what you have to say, is there anything you can't say to your sister?"

Zheng Guangming gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, I want to go to Beituo Temple to become a monk."

"what?"

Zheng Juan's voice was raised several points in shock, and she asked in disbelief, "You said you were going to become a monk at Beituo Temple?"

Zheng Guangming nodded, and said with a serious expression: "Sister, I have thought about it for a long time. Although you and your brother-in-law are very good to me and take care of me, you have your life, and I should also have mine. I think Going to Beituo Temple to become a monk is the best way out for me."

"Bullshit."

Zheng Juan yelled angrily: "Guangming, what is going on in your mind? I can tell you with certainty, no, I will never agree."

Seeing Zheng Juan's firm attitude, Zheng Guangming could only turn to Zhou Chen: "Brother-in-law, I..."

"Don't look at me, I agree with your sister, it is impossible to agree with you to become a monk."

Zhou Chen rejected Zheng Guangming's proposal without hesitation, and then said with a little distress: "Guangming, I know what you are thinking, you think you will drag us down, and you are afraid that your sister and I will have conflicts because of your existence." , but I can tell you with certainty that your worries are unnecessary, you are Zheng Juan's younger brother, and also my younger brother, and my relatives, how could I despise my relatives?"

He knew that Zheng Guangming was very sensitive psychologically because of his eyes, especially this time during the Chinese New Year, seeing the gathering of Zhou's family made him feel like an outsider.

But what he thinks more about is his sister. He doesn't want Zheng Juan to be dragged down because of himself. He can only say that he is really kind and sensible.

"Do you still remember what my brother-in-law told you? My brother-in-law said that your eyes will be cured. After your eyes are cured, you can live like a normal person. You have to remember that you are not a burden. neither."

Zhou Chen's words moved Zheng Guangming very much, he choked up and said, "But, brother-in-law, but I feel that I am really useless at all."

Zhou Chen comforted: "What are you talking about? Why are you useless? You spend more time with Ruirui than I do. You can see that Ruirui likes you so much. If you leave suddenly, Ruirui will definitely be sad; and Your sister is pregnant again, and she will have a baby soon, and she will definitely need your uncle to take care of her at that time. If you want to leave home at this time, do you want to be lazy and not help us take care of the baby?"

"No, I didn't."

Zheng Guangming quickly waved his hand: "I also like Ruirui very much, I like all my sister's children."

Zheng Juan moved her arms around Zheng Guangming and sobbed, "Guangming, you have to trust your brother-in-law. He said that if your eyes can be cured, they will be cured. You just need to stay by our side with peace of mind. Guangming, you are my brother-in-law." The only family member in my natal family, my sister can't live without you."

"sister."

Zheng Guangming hugged Zheng Juan tightly, and he didn't want to leave either, but he felt that it would be better for his sister if he left.

But now that his sister was sad, he was reluctant to leave, and he was secretly looking forward to the day when he would really recover.

After comforting Zheng Guangming, Zhou Chen whispered to Zheng Juan: "Juan'er, Guangming's mood is not very good recently, you should pay more attention and care, this child is thoughtful and sensitive, you are his sister, he must Will listen to you."

Zheng Juan replied: "I know, Guangming is indeed more sensitive. I didn't care enough about him before, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Bingkun, can bright eyes really be cured? I'm afraid, I gave him hope, if he is disappointed again, I'm afraid he won't be able to resist."

Zhou Chen said affirmatively: "Juan'er, you believe me, if I say there is a way, there must be a way, the current conditions do not allow it, wait a little longer, I will restore the light to the light."

The best and fastest way is naturally to take Zheng Guangming abroad for treatment, but it is impossible for him to go abroad under the current national conditions.

"I believe you."

Of course Zheng Juan believed in Zhou Chen, she felt that in her whole life, apart from Zhou Chen, she couldn't find another person who could give her everything.

With Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan's safety in mind, Zheng Guangming's mood is stable. He also trusts his sister and brother-in-law because they are his only relatives.

During dinner at night, Zhou Zhigang was obviously depressed, and everyone knew why.

"It seems that Xiaorong is really delayed by something, but I don't know what it is, and I don't know when they will come back."

Li Suhua was also very disappointed. After all, she had been looking forward to it for so many years, and they were about to meet each other, but there were side issues.

Zhou Bingyi comforted: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, Zhou Rong is also an adult, even if there is a delay, I believe they will come back safely."

It's just that his consolation didn't work very well for Zhou Zhigang.

Seeing Zhou Zhigang's drooping face, Zhou Chen also had no appetite, so he hugged Zhou Rui and whispered a few words in Zhou Rui's ear.

Then Zhou Rui ran towards Zhou Zhigang and whispered these words in his ear. After a while, Zhou Zhigang was amused and laughed, no longer the melancholy before.

After dinner, Zhou Zhigang took Zhou Rui and Guangming to the house to play. Li Suhua asked Hao Dongmei and Zheng Juan to stay in the living room. She walked into her room, and after a while, she came out with a wooden box in her arms.

"Bingyi, Bingkun, both of you should know that our family's ancestral home is not in Jichun, but in Lu Province. Your father and I came to the Northeast from Lu Province to work, and we stayed here later. .”

"Your father is an only seedling and a filial son. At that time, we thought, once we can settle down here, we will build two rooms, and take your grandpa and grandma from their hometown in Lu Province, and be filial before entering bed. "

"At the beginning, your father and I had no money. In order to build the two rooms of the optical film, we wanted to borrow it, so we borrowed a usury loan. You don't know that the two rooms of our optical film are Those who have laid the foundation, among all the houses in the optical film, there are not many houses that can lay the foundation."

"When we finished building the house, we brought your grandparents here. After they came, your grandma gave us this thing."

Li Suhua put the wooden box on the coffee table. The box was obviously an old object. Even Zhou Chen was very curious, let alone Zhou Bingyi, Hao Dongmei and the others.

Seeing that they were all interested, Li Suhua said with a smile: "Your grandma said, this is an old family heirloom, it is worth some money, let us pawn it and pay off the usury; Usury is really dangerous, if you don't do it well, you will die, and then your father took it to someone to look at it, and they said, it's really a good thing."

"At that time, I was thinking of pawning it off, but who knew that the Northeast would be restored, and all the loan sharks were arrested, and the loan sharks didn't have to be repaid, so this family heirloom of our family has been preserved."

Even Zhou Bingyi, who has a relatively calm personality, is a little impatient at the moment.

"Mom, what kind of heirloom is it? You never showed it to us."

Li Suhua said with a chuckle, "It was originally prepared for you, so take care of it."

As she said that, she opened the wooden box, and Zhou Chen and the others felt a green light appearing in the box, which looked very different under the light of the light bulb.

"This is, the bracelet?"

Zhou Bingyi's eyes widened, and he saw a pair of jade bracelets in the box. The green light made people unable to look away.

Zhou Chen was also shocked. He had been a top rich man in many worlds and had worn countless precious accessories. Although he didn't study it deeply, he was surprised to see this pair of green and blue jade bracelets.

"This is, Emperor Green?"

He can't be sure if he hasn't tried it, but even if it is not the top imperial green, it is definitely a treasure among the treasures.

Li Suhua asked happily: "Is it a good thing? Anyway, your mother and I have never seen such a good thing. After your grandma passed it on to me, I didn't dare to wear it for a day, for fear that it would be damaged. "

"Dongmei, Juan'er, take it and have a look."

Although Hao Dongmei and Zheng Juan were both attracted by the pair of bracelets, they didn't dare to reach out.

"Mom, it's too precious, I dare not take it."

"I don't dare either."

Li Suhua picked up the bracelet with a smile, and handed it to Hao Dongmei and Zheng Juan one by one.

"This is passed down to me by your grandma. It is a family heirloom of the old Zhou family. Since it is a family heirloom, it must be passed on. I am already old, so I only have two sons. It is fair. You two daughters-in-law, one for each of you." .”

Zheng Juan only felt that it was hot, and nervously wanted to return it to Li Suhua: "Mom, this is really too precious, you should put it away quickly."

Hao Dongmei also agreed: "Mom, Juan'er is right, this is a family heirloom, and it is most suitable for your old man to hold it."

"What's suitable, family heirloom, family heirloom, it must be passed on, if you don't pass it on to the two of you, maybe you can give it to Xiaorong, then your father must scold me to death."

Even though both of them are partial to their daughters, they never thought about their daughters when it comes to such a family heirloom.

Seeing the old lady push her forward, Hao Dongmei and Zheng Juan were both very embarrassed, and they all looked at their man.

Zhou Chen said: "Mom, this thing is too precious. Zheng Juan is timid. She definitely dare not take it with her. She doesn't know where to hide it. You should keep it."

Zhou Bingyi also followed up and said: "I think so too, Mom, you see we are going back soon, Dongmei will go to work in the countryside then, how can she work with this bracelet, and it is so precious There is no place to hide the things you have, and if you bump into them, you will regret it to death."

Hao Dongmei nodded again and again: "Mom, Bingyi is right, you should keep this bracelet."

"Do not want any?"

Li Suhua was very surprised. When her mother-in-law gave it to her, she was very happy, but now, the two daughter-in-laws, for the sake of fairness, she deliberately picked this time to distribute it one by one.

But who would have thought that neither of these two daughters-in-law would be wanted.

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Mom, it's inconvenient for the eldest brother and the others. We don't have this need. You should keep it first. When we can't live anymore, you can come out to support us."

Li Suhua immediately gave Zhou Chen a blank look: "You brat, you know how to talk nonsense, this is a family heirloom, if there is no real hurdle, you can't sell it."

Seeing that the two daughters-in-law were really unwilling to accept it, Li Suhua had no choice but to put the bracelet back into the box and carefully treasure it.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Bingyi said with a smile, "I always thought our family was poor, but I didn't expect such a treasure to exist."

Li Suhua snorted: "This is a family heirloom, how could it be taken out casually, now that you are all grown up, I will tell you."

The family heirloom was not passed on, and she was not in a hurry, anyway, there would be plenty of time in the future.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Zhou Chen went to the provincial compound alone, visited Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen, and had lunch with them before leaving.

He knew that Cao Debao and Lu Chuan would visit Qu Xiuzhen on the fifth day, so he went to visit on the fourth day, but he didn't want to meet them.

Just after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei packed up their things and prepared to leave.

Although the regiment and village they were in was the closest to Jichun, they also had the fewest vacations, so they had to go back before Zhou Rong's family arrived.

The day after Zhou Bingyi and the others left, Zhou Zhigang was also leaving. He had been looking forward to his daughter's return these days.

But unfortunately, this wish was not fulfilled. Even if he was about to leave, he did not hear from his daughter. He could only leave his hometown with regret and return to the mountain city.

The lively New Year came to an end in a flash, and the lively Zhou family was deserted for the most part.
