Chapter 601 Meeting with relatives?Qiao Chunyan comes to the door
In the winter of Jichun, the temperature is very low. Although the sun is still hanging in the sky, the warmth it emits still cannot offset the severe cold snow season.

Zhou Chen used to live in the south most of the time. The number of snowfalls in the south in winter is really rare, but there are really too many snow days in the north, and the snow on the ground has basically never dissipated.

Zhou Chen walked outside the door, saw Zhou Zhigang sweeping snow with a big broom, and walked up.

"Dad, let me do it."

Zhou Zhigang stopped, wiped his sweat, waved his hands and said, "No, I'm a busy person, so I need to find something to do."

Today is the 29th of the New Year's Eve, and there is no New Year's Eve this year, so 29th is New Year's Eve.

As he was sweeping the floor, he saw Zhou Bingyi riding a bicycle with Hao Dongmei coming.

"Bingyi, Dongmei, why did you come here so early?"

Zhou Bingyi parked the car and said, "Dad, I came here early because I have something to tell you. Dongmei's parents have said that they will come over this afternoon."

When Zhou Zhigang heard this, he quickly threw away the big broom in his hand, and asked, "Then will they have dinner at home? I'll let your mother and Zheng Juan prepare it right away."

"No, no need."

Zhou Bingyi pulled his father back and said, "Dad, Dongmei's parents have a lot of family affairs, so they won't stay for dinner, so don't worry about it."

Hao Dongmei went on to say: "Dad, my parents are here this time, the main reason is to get to know you and Mom, meet each other, and get to know each other by the way."

"By the way, Dad, my parents asked me to tell you, thank you for the tea you gave them."

It turned out that after Jin Yueji quarreled with her daughter last night, she came back and told her husband about the matter. Finally, under Jin Yueji's persuasion, Hao Gaoguan reluctantly agreed to meet her in-laws.

After Zhou Zhigang heard this, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily. He was a high-ranking official in the province, and he wanted to pay a visit on his own initiative, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

"Afternoon, right, afternoon."

Whispering, Zhou Zhigang suddenly asked Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, is your sister coming home this afternoon?"

"Well, they're the afternoon train."

Zhou Zhigang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then, Bingkun, you don't have to pick up your sister and the others this afternoon. Anyway, the two of them can touch this place. From now on, let's tidy up the house, clean it up, and wait for it. Dongmei's parents came over in the afternoon, so they can't leave a bad impression on them."

Zhou Chen was astonished by these words, yes, in order to entertain the relatives of senior officials, even the most beloved daughter was ignored.

But this is also in his mind, anyway, he didn't want to pick up Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng.

It is still unknown whether Hao Dongmei's parents will come over.

"Go, Bingkun, hurry back and tell your mother and Zheng Juan, and then act."

Zhou Bingyi quickly walked over to support Zhou Zhigang: "Dad, I'll help you too."

He was very unhappy when he saw his mother-in-law's attitude last night, but this morning when he heard that his parents-in-law were willing to come over to meet his parents, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared immediately.

In fact, his thoughts were similar to those of Zhou Zhigang. He felt that he had climbed the Hao family. Now that the Hao family’s parents are willing to come, not only for his wife Hao Dongmei’s face, but also for his own face, so he feels very happy, which means that the parents-in-law are Value him.

Zhou Chen watched the father and son enter the house, shook his head, he was too happy, it's really hard to say whether the Hao family couple can come.

Under Zhou Zhigang's urging, the family started cleaning again. From the inside to the outside, even the road outside the yard was shoveled clean.

At noon on Chinese New Year's Eve, there was supposed to be a sumptuous reunion dinner, but Zhou Zhigang insisted that there would be a smell of fireworks, and asked Li Suhua and Zheng Juan to save a few dishes.

Both Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei advised that there was no need to do this, but Zhou Zhigang was determined to do this, and there was nothing they could do.

Zhou Chen didn't want to persuade him either, the relationship between the two of them eased up a little, so there's no need to add trouble to Zhou Zhigang at this time.

It is said to be less, but Li Suhua still made several dishes. Adults don't need to eat them, but there are three children in the family. For the Chinese New Year, they have to give them to eat.

Because his in-laws were coming over in the afternoon, Zhou Zhigang didn't bring out the wine at noon, but just ate and ate vegetables.

"Bingkun, it's a good thing you bought this house, otherwise, if you entertain your in-laws in optical text, you won't even have a place to entertain them."

In the past, Zhou Zhigang felt that his youngest son had a house to live in, so he had to buy it again, and he was very dissatisfied, but now that he thinks about it, this place is much more respectable than the light text.

His in-laws are high-ranking provincial officials, and their family is high-ranking. They live in the provincial compound, and they live in optical film.

But fortunately, the youngest son bought this house. Although it is not as good as the provincial compound, it looks very decent, at least it will not embarrass the Zhou family.

Hao Dongmei said with a smile: "Dad, my parents don't pay much attention to it. They all came from a poor life, so they don't pay much attention to it."

Zhou Zhigang said: "Your parents don't pay attention, that's your parents' business. It's the first time we come to the house, our old Zhou's family, we must not let the in-laws even have a place to stay."

Hao Dongmei is actually quite happy with Zhou Zhigang's attitude, which shows that her father-in-law attaches great importance to her parents.

On the contrary, Zhou Bingyi said to Zhou Chen a little ashamedly: "Bingkun, I'm not capable of being a big brother, and I still want to use your house to entertain my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Brother, what you said is wrong. We are brothers. This is my house and your house."

Zhou Chen really didn't pay attention to this house, let alone worry about such a thing.

"Brother, sister-in-law, did her parents say when they will come?"

Zhou Bingyi really didn't know, so he looked at Hao Dongmei.

Hao Dongmei explained: "My mother said that my father will visit two factories in the afternoon. He should be free after he finishes his work. The specific time depends on the itinerary."

Zhou Zhigang waved his hand indifferently: "Okay, it doesn't matter what time it is, as long as we're ready and waiting."

As long as the Hao family couple can come, he doesn't mind how long it takes.

Zhou Chen secretly sighed in his heart, both Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi put themselves in an extremely low position, this is not a normal relationship.

He understands what these two people think, but he thinks they are a little too much. In fact, the Zhou family has never asked the Hao family for help until now, and never thought of asking for it in the future. Low.

After dinner, Zhou Zhigang couldn't be idle anymore, and started to clean up the house, even the three children.

"Ruirui, Yueyue, take your younger brother out to play, don't run around at home, you messed it up."

Looking at Zhou Zhigang, who was looking for trouble and fidgeting, Zhou Chen felt helpless and had no choice but to let Zheng Guangming take the three children out to play.

"Dad, don't wipe it, the paint on the chair will be wiped off by you."

Zhou Zhigang blushed suddenly, and shouted at Zhou Chen angrily, "I'll pay you for the rubbing."

"Okay, okay, you can wipe it as you like."

"Ha ha……"

The conversation between the two caused several people in the room to burst into laughter.

The waiting time was long, and soon after four o'clock in the afternoon, Hao Dongmei's parents still did not come, which made both Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei a little anxious, but Zhou Zhigang did not appear anxious.

But Zhou Chen saw through Zhou Zhigang's thoughts at a glance. He was calm on the surface, but in fact, he was no less anxious than Zhou Bingyi.

Although he is an eighth-level worker, he is still a working class in the final analysis. Compared with a feudal official like Hao Gaoguan, he is far behind, so he believes in his heart that being able to marry the Hao family means that the old Zhou family is very big. glory.

Hao Gaoguan and his wife did not wait, but an unexpected person came.

Provincial compound!
After eating lunch, Jin Yueji visited the home of old friends Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen.

Today I was going to meet the Zhou family. Although she had been a cadre, this was the first time meeting her in-laws. She didn't know much about the Zhou family, so she came to Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen to inquire.

After learning about the purpose of the elder sister's visit, Qu Xiuzhen of course told the truth.

"Sister Jin, when it comes to your in-laws, Lao Ma and I really don't know each other well, but we are very familiar with that boy Bingkun."

Jin Yueji said with great interest: "Really, then tell me about this Zhou Bingkun. I have heard Dongmei mention him a lot at home. Every time Dongmei talks about this Zhou Bingkun, she always admires him. unusual."

Qu Xiuzhen smiled and said: "Dongmei has a good vision, Zhou Bingkun is really unusual, Lao Ma and I are well-informed people, but young and promising young men like Zhou Bingkun really don't meet many , he..."

Speaking of Zhou Bingkun, Qu Xiuzhen was really eloquent, and Ma Shouchang sat aside, adding a few words from time to time, allowing Jin Yueji to get to know her daughter's uncle in a more three-dimensional way.

She felt that the young man that Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen valued so much, and who was often talked about, should not be simple, but she didn't know how compared to her son-in-law Zhou Bingyi?

When the three of them said this, they suddenly received a phone call, and Jin Yueji's face changed drastically in an instant.

"Godmother..."

It was Qiao Chunyan who came to the door. She took Li Suhua's arm and walked in with a familiar face. When she saw a few people in the room, she greeted them with a smile on her face.

"Godfather, brother, brother Bingyi, sister-in-law Dongmei, Juan'er, you are all here, it seems that I came at the right time."

Facing the smiling and enthusiastic Qiao Chunyan, Zhou Zhigang laughed dryly.

"It's Chunyan. I heard that you are now the women's director of the district and a national cadre. Not bad, not bad. It's a credit to your parents, and a credit to our optical film."

As soon as Qiao Chunyan heard it, she immediately said very humbly: "Godfather, I am not as good as you said. Compared with my brother, brother Bingyi and sister Zhou Rong, I am far behind. The only three college students in the film, who doesn't know about our optical film, they are the role models of our optical film, honor."

Zhou Zhigang, who was originally not in high spirits, immediately laughed happily when he heard Qiao Chunyan speak so nicely.

"You are not bad either. The three of them are still in school. You are already a national cadre, and you have a bright future."

"I'm just a woman with no education. I don't have any future. If I can maintain the status quo, I'm already satisfied."

"You young people are chatting, I'll go out for a walk."

Zhou Zhigang walked out of the house with his hands behind his back. He had no intention of chatting with this junior, Qiao Chunyan.

After Zhou Zhi had just left, Qiao Chunyan enthusiastically sat next to Zhou Chen.

"Brother, Juan'er, why didn't you tell me when you came back? If Yu Hong and Wu Qian hadn't heard about it, I wouldn't have known you were back."

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but Zheng Juan replied gently: "We just came back a few days ago, and we've been busy cleaning the house recently, so we didn't go to the optical film."

Qiao Chunyan looked at Zhou Chen, and suddenly pulled his arm up: "Brother, why are you ignoring me? Are you still blaming me and Debao for what happened back then? Brother, it has been so many years, me and Debao We already know we were wrong, so can't you forgive us?"

Zhou Chen: "Don't, Chunyan, you are right, you don't need to forgive, and you don't need to think too much."

Qiao Chunyan said happily: "Brother, what do you mean, you are willing to reconcile with us and stop blaming us?"

Zhou Chen said lightly: "You didn't do anything wrong, why should I blame you, don't talk about the past, let the past go."

Qiao Chunyan is a fine person, she heard Zhou Chen's meaning, although she said it was not strange, but her tone was very cold, with an attitude of rejecting her thousands of miles away.

She only wanted to restore her relationship with Zhou Chen, so even though Zhou Chen's tone was not very good, she still didn't show anything unusual.

"Okay, brother, you are my god-brother, I will listen to you whatever you say, that is, that impotent fellow of our family Debao, who has been worried that you are still blaming him, that's why he dare not come with me, you Don't worry, I will definitely talk to him after I go back, my brother is so arrogant, how could he still be angry."

Hey, what I said, Zhou Chen feels that Qiao Chunyan's ability has improved again. It seems that the ups and downs of these years have indeed given her a different temper.

"Brother, on the third day of junior high school, Debao and I called Catch Up and National Day to come to our house for dinner. If you and Juan'er are fine, you can come too. We have not had a gathering together for a long time since we are young on the optical film. Let's get together, let's take this opportunity, let's get together and have fun, how about it?"

Zhou Chen shied away and said, "Third year of junior high school, I really don't necessarily have time."

"Brother, don't, you have to give me this face. If you don't come, our dinner party will be meaningless at all. You must come. Otherwise, I will come back on the third day of junior high school. It's too late." I want to drag you and Juan'er there."

Seeing that Zhou Chen didn't agree, Qiao Chunyan acted like a baby, and said to Zhou Chen like a rascal.

Zhou Chen didn't want to get entangled with Qiao Chunyan, so he stood up: "Chunyan, sit down first, I'm going out to discuss something with my dad."

Taking advantage of this reason, Zhou Chen hurriedly escaped. The main reason was that on New Year's Eve, Qiao Chunyan also came here with something. Even if he had an opinion in his heart, he couldn't just drive him away, so he could only run away by himself.

As soon as Zhou Chen went out, Zhou Bingyi followed, leaving only three women in the room talking.

"Bingkun, this Qiao Chunyan is really different now."

Zhou Bingyi was naturally no stranger to Qiao Chunyan. Although he hadn't seen him for many years, he had met him many times when he was a child, so he had a certain understanding.

"If it weren't for Zheng Juan, with the relationship between our mother and Aunt Qiao, maybe you and Qiao Chunyan would be a couple."

Zhou Chen glanced at him and said, "Are you still free to laugh at me now?"

Zhou Bingyi's face turned dark immediately, of course he knew what Zhou Chen meant.

"Wait a little longer. Dongmei's parents are the kind of people who keep their promises. Since they agreed to come over, they will definitely not break their promises."

"Hopefully."

Zhou Chen didn't hit him, but said: "Brother, listen to my advice and be mentally prepared. If they don't come, you have to think about how to persuade our dad. He is more active than you in today's matter." .”

Zhou Bingyi remained silent. Of course he understood his father's thoughts, but Hao Dongmei's parents, not his son-in-law, could decide whether to come or not, he could not decide.

"It will come, it will come."

This is not only for Zhou Chen, but also for himself.

It's just that it should come, and it will come.

Qiao Chunyan didn't stay long at Zhou's house, and finally she was persuaded by Li Suhua to go away because of family affairs, but before she left, she pulled Zhou Chen to talk about it pitifully, but Zhou Chen just dealt with the matter and didn't give affirmation answer.

Zhou Chen didn't want to have too much interaction with Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao. Today, Qiao Chunyan took the initiative to come to the door, and his attitude was very enthusiastic. He was not too cold for the sake of the friendship between the two families.

But Qiao Chunyan wanted to use his past friendship to let him go to the party, and he would definitely not agree.

The sky had gradually turned dark, but Zhou Bingyi was still waiting outside the yard, and Hao Dongmei walked back and forth anxiously.

Today she has already spoken out, if her parents don't come, how will she behave in front of her father-in-law, mother-in-law, younger brother and daughter-in-law, so she is no less anxious than Zhou Bingyi.

Zheng Juan arrived at Zhou Chen and motioned him to look at her father.

I saw Zhou Zhigang's complexion was not very good, fidgeting restlessly, he picked up his cigarette pouch and rolling paper from time to time, but after thinking about it, he finally put it down again.

"Bingkun, what time is it?"

"It's twenty past five."

Zhou Zhigang said hoarsely: "It's past five o'clock, what time should your sister's train arrive?"

"It's afternoon, I don't know the exact time, but it should be in time for the New Year's Eve dinner."

"It's good if you can catch up, it's good if you can catch up."

Zhou Zhigang was nagging, and Zhou Chen didn't know how to persuade him. At this time, he knew that the Hao family couple would not come anymore.

"Drip."

Suddenly, a whistle sounded outside the yard, which made Zhou Zhigang, who was fidgeting, stand up instantly.

"Dongmei's parents are here?"

As he said that, he immediately walked towards the door. Halfway there, he saw Zhou Chen still sitting on the sofa, and immediately urged him dissatisfied.

"Bingkun, why are you still sitting here, come here quickly."

Zhou Chen had no choice but to get up and follow behind Zhou Zhigang, while Zheng Juan followed him step by step and walked out of the house together.
