Chapter 611 Zhou Bingyi has made a fool again

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Shao Jingwen laughed very happily.

It has been five or six years since Zhou Chen left the publishing house, and Shao Jingwen is very happy to be able to miss him and bring him a lot of things every time he comes back.

Although he helped Zhou Chen enter the publishing house, after Zhou Chen entered the magazine department of the publishing house, he helped him a lot, made his work much easier, and made the publishing house earn a lot of money, and expanded gained fame.

Even if Zhou Chen left the publishing house, he would write two poems and essays for the publishing house every year at the request of the publishing house, and the friendship is still there.

In addition, it is the Jishantang restaurant he is managing now.

He built the Jishantang by himself, but the decoration and layout of the restaurant were all done with Zhou Chen's help. Even the management system, staff recruitment guidance, etc. were all plans given by Zhou Chen.

Jishantang has become one of the famous big restaurants in Jichun City in less than three years, and Zhou Chen must definitely take more than half of the credit.

Thoughts turned in a flash, Shao Jingwen quickly responded.

"At noon, our restaurant has two chefs and a few apprentices. The two chefs have already agreed that they will not come at noon and evening today. So, I will tell them and let them stay at noon. One, get you a big table before you get off work."

"Can you do it?"

"It's definitely no problem. I'm also the leader anyway. It's no problem to ask them for help."

"Then you tell the chef, and I'll give him 100 yuan for labor."

Shao Jingwen didn't refuse the labor fee, but said, "Isn't one hundred too much?"

Although it has been 83 years, the purchasing power of 100 yuan is still very good. Even in a big restaurant like Jishantang, it is hard to say whether the salary of the chef can reach 100 yuan per month.

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, just give more, so that he can be more attentive, Mr. Shao, then I will trouble you."

"No problem, I happen to be here at noon, and I will help you take care of it. Is it waiting for you to come, or is it done for you in advance?"

"Let's wait until we come, Mr. Shao, then you should do your work first, I'll go back and bring someone over."

"Then go quickly."

Shao Jingwen waved to Zhou Chen. Over the past two years, relying on Zhou Chen's guidance, he has managed to make Jishantang impressive. As the person in charge, he has also benefited greatly.

He used to be the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, and his salary and benefits were good. Now he is here, not only can he receive the salary and benefits of the publishing house, but he can also get a commission from the profit of the restaurant.

In the past two years alone, the share he got from the restaurant was higher than his salary in the past ten years, so he was naturally grateful to Zhou Chen.

When Zhou Chen got home, he told Zhou Zhigang about the hotel reservation.

Zhou Zhigang was very happy when he heard that it was Zhou Chen's old leader who opened it.

"Bingkun, speaking of it, I have never met your old leader. After meeting this time, I must thank him well. If he hadn't helped you get into the publishing house, I wouldn't have known you Where will the kid mess around?"

When Zhou Chen entered the publishing house to work, Zhou Zhigang had a bright face, but at the beginning he didn't think it was Zhou Chen's ability. Instead, he was very grateful to Shao Jingwen for his support and support.

It's a pity that when he returned to Jichun City three times, there were quarrels in the Zhou family, so that he never met Shao Jingwen once.

"Then you can chat with him later, I think you will be able to chat."

Zhou Chen said with a smile, Shao Jingwen is a very talkative person, he can chat with both young and old people.

To use a word from later generations to describe it, it is social bull cross syndrome.

Zhou Zhigang went to find Zhou Rong again, and asked Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng to find Zhou Bingyi in the Provincial Courtyard, and then took Zhou Bingyi to Jishantang.

Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng naturally had no objections, especially Feng Huacheng, who was very excited. He thought that if he went to Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, he might have a chance to meet Hao Gaoguan.

Although he is a great poet, he is really nothing in the eyes of those people, let alone someone as powerful as Hao Gaoguan.

If there is a chance to get closer to Hao Gaoguan, it may be a way out for him.

If Zhou Chen knew about his thoughts, he would definitely faint from laughter. This guy might have been infected by Zhou Rong's innocence.

Zhou Chen brought his family, young and old, to the Jishan Hall. Shao Jingwen, who had already made preparations, immediately led them into the private room himself.

Zhou Chen and the others sat in the restaurant and waited, while Zhou Zhigang and Shao Jingwen walked aside and chatted, laughing happily from time to time, and seemed to be very happy chatting.

Near noon, Zhou Rong finally came with Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei.

As soon as Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei entered the private room, they greeted Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua happily, especially Zhou Bingyi, saying all kinds of nice things.

Regarding the arrival of Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, Zhou Chen was indifferent and sat there motionless, but Zheng Juan politely called her brother and sister-in-law.

Although Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen, they did not transfer their anger to Zheng Juan. They both knew what kind of person Zheng Juan was, and they responded enthusiastically.

The three children also greeted Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei separately, but there were differences.

The youngest, Congcong, shouted happily, but Feng Yue and Zhou Rui hesitated, especially Zhou Rui.

Both of them are in the third grade, and they will be ten years old soon. They knew about it very early. Although they didn't know what happened to Zhou Chen and Zhou Bingyi, they could tell that their father and uncle seemed to have had conflicts with Zhou Bingyi .

Children's minds are relatively simple, they care more about Zhou Chen, so they didn't dare to get close to Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, they just called out politely.

Zhou Bingyi was okay, but Hao Dongmei felt very sad when she saw that Zhou Rui didn't approach her or get close to her.

Of the three children of the Zhou family, Zhou Rui was the first she came into contact with, and Zhou Rui was her favorite. At the beginning, she even thought that Zhou Rui was her son, so she loved Zhou Rui very much in the past few years.

But after what happened three years ago, she hasn't seen Zhou Rui for a long time, and now she sees that Zhou Rui is not as close as she was when she was a child, but is particularly alienated, so she naturally feels uncomfortable.

During this meal, Zhou Chen basically didn't talk much, just watched Zhou Bingyi perform.

Zhou Bingyi looked like a filial son. At the dinner table, he was "filial" to his parents, saying that he was sorry for them, that he could not be filial by his side, and so on.

Zhou Chen was really disdainful of this, he had already seen that his elder brother was really a king with a strong mouth, his filial piety was all in his mouth, but he couldn't see his actual actions, which was quite good. Su Mingzhe is somewhat similar.

Zhou Chen also thought maliciously, if Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua were high-ranking officials like Hao Gaoguan, the elder brother's attitude would be different.

This is not because he judges the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but looking at Zhou Bingyi's actions over the years, it is really no wonder that he thinks so.

During this period, Zhou Bingyi suddenly said: "Dad, Mom, I will be able to graduate in a year or so, and I may return to work in Jichun by then."

"Good thing, this is a good thing."

Zhou Zhigang was very happy to hear that. He works in Jichun and is taken care of by his father-in-law Hao Gaoguan. He feels that his eldest son's future must be bright.

Zhou Bingyi said again: "Dad, this is what I think. In a few years, you will be retiring too. By then, you will all return to Jichun, and I will take care of you."

As soon as these words came out, the room was silent for several minutes, only the three children were eating and drinking there, and the rest of the people stopped their movements and looked at Zhou Bingyi in astonishment.

Even Hao Dongmei next to Zhou Bingyi was the same, because Zhou Bingyi hadn't mentioned this matter to her before he came.

Li Suhua was a little unbelievable, he stammered and asked, "Bingyi, you, what did you just say?"

Zhou Bingyi said softly: "I said, it's not easy for you and Dad to pull our brothers and sisters together. When I work and make money, it's time for me to do my filial piety. At that time, I will provide for you, and we can see each other every day." gone."

Li Suhua pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer, Zhou Zhigang suppressed the joy on his face, and silently took out a cigarette.

Zhou Rong looked at her eldest brother Zhou Bingyi in disbelief, not happy, but rather complaining, why did her eldest brother suddenly bring it up without telling her.

What does it mean that it is not easy to raise their siblings? This is pulling her in. If she doesn't show it, will it appear that she has no filial piety?
Li Suhua lived with Zhou Chen for more than ten years, and spent the New Year with Zhou Chen all these years.

From Zhou Rong's point of view, this is already very obvious. Her parents will definitely follow her younger brother Zhou Chen in the future, and Zhou Chen really intends to provide for the two elders.

She didn't like Zhou Chen, and felt that Zhou Chen didn't take her sister seriously and even robbed her daughter.

But I have to admit that the parents and daughter lived a good life with Zhou Chen, at least many times better than the life she and Feng Huacheng lived.

She was jealous in her heart, but she also agreed that Zhou Chen would take care of her parents, which was the best choice.

Following Zhou Chen, she doesn't need to wait on her every day, and she doesn't need to give money or anything. She can go to see it anytime she wants.

In the past, she thought that her eldest brother Zhou Bingyi should have the same idea as her. Having a younger brother to support the two elders saves worry and effort.

But Zhou Bingyi suddenly proposed that he wants to support the two elders, so does she also want to participate in the retirement of her parents?
Zhou Chen, on the other hand, showed a smile that was not a smile, and he saw some of Zhou Bingyi's plans.

Leaving aside the matter of taking care of the two elders for the elderly, Zhou Bingyi's decision may have something to do with him.

Hao Dongmei put her hands under the table and pulled Zhou Bingyi's clothes.

She had no objection to respecting her parents-in-law, but what happened three years ago made her more or less dissatisfied.

She felt that Zhou Chen had hurt her parents, even if Zhou Chen didn't come to apologize, the parents-in-law shouldn't be unreasonable, at least they should give an explanation.

But as a result, the father-in-law and mother-in-law never showed up, and they still lived with Zhou Chen, let alone reprimanded.

This is the case with people, when it comes to her parents, even her husband's parents, she can complain. After all, if parents-in-law and mother-in-law are close again, can they still have biological parents?

So when she heard that Zhou Bingyi wanted to take care of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she had some opinions in her heart. She still had her parents to be filial to her, so how could she spare the time to take care of her father-in-law.

Even if her parents are taking care of the elderly, she doesn't need her to do anything. There are nannies at home, but if it is to serve her parents-in-law, it will definitely not be so easy.

In short, what she thought in her heart was that it would be fine to take care of her for ten days and half a month, but if she took care of her until she was old, she would reject it in her heart.

Seeing that his parents didn't speak, Zhou Bingyi looked a little embarrassed.

"Dad, Mom?"

Zhou Zhigang was silent for a while. He understood his wife's thoughts and knew that he could only talk about this matter.

"Bingyi, I know you are filial, but when your mother and I are not old enough to need someone to take care of us, let alone I haven't retired yet, even if I retire, your mother and I don't need someone to take care of you. You are busy with yourselves. It’s fine, don’t worry about us.”

Zhou Bingyi's face was gloomy: "Dad, you don't need someone to take care of you, but if you are at home, I can visit you at any time. No matter how good it is outside, there is no better home, right?"

Even Li Suhua, who is illiterate, would find it wrong to say this.

This is not obvious. Besides, no matter how good Yanjing is, it is not as good as Jichun.

But the problem is, now that Zhou Chen is working in Yanjing, it seems that there is a high probability that he will not come back, and Zhou Bingyi said that he will go back to Jichun to work.

If there is no other meaning in it, no one would believe it.

Li Suhua looked at her own man. In all fairness, she definitely wanted to live with her youngest son's family, no matter from which aspect.

Let's just talk about these two sons. Li Suhua has been with the younger son for more than ten years, and he knows how considerate the younger son is and how well he takes care of her.

If it were the eldest son, even though she, as a mother, should not favor anyone, she still felt that the eldest son could not treat her as well as the younger son.

Besides her daughter-in-law, there is no comparison. Except for her family and education level, Zheng Juan is no worse than Hao Dongmei in other aspects. She takes care of her meticulously, even her own daughter is not so good.

Also, if she lives with her eldest son, she won't even see her grandson, but if she lives with her younger son, she can still see her two eldest grandchildren every day.

So, there is no comparison at all, unless the youngest son is disobedient and unfilial, anyone will know how to choose.

But she also knew that her man was more feudal and valued the eldest son more. She listened to Zhou Zhigang, no matter what choice Zhou Zhigang made, she would not object.

But she didn't know that Zhou Zhigang was no longer the former Zhou Zhigang.

With the increase of age and various things that have happened in these years, he has already had a different understanding.

The eldest son can be the face of the Zhou family, but it is really unrealistic to expect him to take care of the old couple. If they go, they may be sent to others.

But living with the youngest son, if he is unhappy, he can still say a few words, scold him a few words, even if the youngest son hates him, but he has already understood the youngest son's mind, as long as he doesn't really turn his face, he will not be too much Care about.

Except for the youngest son, the youngest daughter-in-law has a really good personality, and the two eldest grandsons are also good to him.

Even though he had never lived with his elder son and daughter-in-law, he knew that living with them would definitely not be as happy as living with his younger son's family.

The most important point is that if he is at the eldest son's house, he will definitely feel unhappy when he sees Hao Dongmei often, because it is her that the eldest son has no children.

If this was done a few decades ago, even if you were the daughter of a high official and unable to have children, you would definitely be gossiped about.

Zhou Zhigang said: "Anywhere is fine, as long as you can be with your family, that's the best. Your mother and I came here from Lu Province to settle down. If you really count, my ancestral home is still in Lu Province."

Zhou Bingyi heard his father's evasion, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

He didn't understand why his mother could stay at Zhou Chen's house for more than ten years. On the contrary, when his eldest son wanted to support them in the elderly, his parents shirked it.

After all, he is the eldest son of the family.

He could feel that he was the most valued at home before, but now his parents obviously valued Zhou Chen more. He didn't think he was worse than Zhou Chen, so why didn't his parents want to live with him?
Zhou Rong saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she hurriedly made jokes: "Dad, brother, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, don't mention it, the food in this restaurant tastes really good, comparable to the big restaurants in Yanjing. "

After finishing speaking, she arrived at Feng Huacheng, and Feng Huacheng immediately realized: "Yes, yes, what Zhou Rong said is good. It is indeed compared with Yanjing's Grand Hotel, um, some comparisons."

Zheng Juan also opened her mouth and said, "Yes, Bingkun's former leader is in charge here. Sister, brother-in-law, elder brother, elder sister-in-law, you should eat more."

With Zhou Bingyi at the bottom of the steps, he ate and drank silently without saying anything.

What was supposed to be a happy meal turned into a deserted one, Li Suhua sighed again and again.

Since 69, the Zhou family has had several reunions, but none of them can be completed happily, and each time there will be something wrong.

Seeing that the food was almost done, Zhou Chen went out to pay the bill. Shao Jingwen refused to take the money, but Zhou Chen still gave the money, and chatted with him for a while before going back.

Before he reached the private room, he saw Zhou Bingyi walking over and stopped him.

"Bingkun, let's go, let's chat over there."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked to the side, but after walking a few steps, he realized that Zhou Chen didn't follow him at all, but continued to walk towards the private room instead.

Zhou Bingyi was taken aback, and immediately chased after him: "What are you doing, didn't you hear me talking to you?"

Zhou Chen looked at him disdainfully: "Who are you, you let me go, so I have to go?"

The corners of Zhou Bingyi's eyes twitched in anger: "I'm your elder brother, and that's how you talk to me?"

"Yo, you still know that you are my elder brother. You have been hiding from me for three years. Why didn't you remember that you are my elder brother?"

Zhou Chen was full of disdain. He had long lost a good impression of Zhou Bingyi. To put it bluntly, Zhou Bingyi was inferior to Zhou Rong in many aspects.

No matter how bad Zhou Rong was, she would visit her mother often and buy something for the three children, but Zhou Bingyi, since three years ago, it was fine if he didn't see him. He didn't even see Zheng Juan and the three children. After that, I met my mother and Zhou Rong.

Anyway, Zhou Chen's feeling is that if you employ people forward, you don't need people to look backward, turning your face and being ruthless is comparable to the previous heartless scholar.

Zhou Bingyi said angrily: "I'm avoiding you, I don't want to see you, but it's not because of you, if you didn't go to Dongmei's house, and her parents..."

"Come on, Zhou Bingyi, if that's all you want to tell me, then I'm sorry, I have nothing to talk to you."

Zhou Chen shook off Zhou Bingyi's hand, and said coldly: "I didn't do anything to you today because of my parents' face. Don't push yourself."

Zhou Bingyi's face turned purple when Zhou Chen said that this younger brother really doesn't give him any sympathy now.

He took a deep breath and said, "I have something to tell you, it's not convenient here, please come with me."

Zhou Chen nodded: "Let's go."

The two came to the end of the corridor of the hotel, and Zhou Chen asked, "If you have anything to say or ask, hurry up."

Zhou Bingyi said, "I want to hear your opinion about what I mentioned to my parents just now."

"I have no opinion, as long as you can convince them and they agree, I have nothing to say."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Chen changed his voice again: "But to be honest, even if your parents are willing to live with you, I don't think you can take care of them well, because your care for them will never be as good as your care for your father-in-law. mother in law."

Zhou Bingyi's face turned livid: "What do you mean, am I this kind of person in your heart? My parents are not only your biological parents, but also my biological parents. I treat them..."

"Stop, stop, I know what you want to say, but you'd better save this kind of words and tell your parents. You don't have to tell me. Tell me your purpose quickly."

Zhou Bingyi, who was interrupted by Zhou Chen, just felt that he was full of anger and couldn't vent it, and it was extremely uncomfortable to hold back.

"I want you to persuade parents."

When Zhou Chen heard it, his voice suddenly raised a bit: "Zhou Bingyi, you must be out of your mind. You want to be filial to your parents, and you want me to persuade you. What do you mean? Do you want someone to poke my spine? "

Don't blame him for being angry, Zhou Bingyi is too hurt, asking him to persuade his parents to live with Zhou Bingyi, is he asking him to drive his parents away?
Is this what people do?

Zhou Bingyi quickly said: "I don't mean that, I just think that parents listen to you more, so..."

"Don't even think about it. It's impossible. Unless they volunteer, I won't let you pick them up even if you drive to pick them up."

It's not that he is unreasonable, but that he knows very well that if Zhou Zhigang's old couple really lived with Zhou Bingyi and the others, Li Suhua would be better off, but with Zhou Zhigang's temper, it may not be long before there will be various conflicts in the family.

Zhou Bingyi saw that Zhou Chen was unwilling to help, and he couldn't force him, so he talked about another matter.

"Okay then, I'll turn around to my parents and tell them that there is one more thing. The house in the optical film is the hard work of our parents all their lives; you lent it to Xiao Guoqing and his family for several years. Our dad will retire in [-], and he will definitely miss that house by then, I think you should take the house back, so that parents can go back and live anytime they want to live in."

Zhou Chen frowned, he knew that Zhou Bingyi must be thinking more than the surface, but Zhou Bingyi was right.

That house was Zhou Zhigang's painstaking effort, he lent it out at his own discretion, and it should indeed be taken back by him.

"I know this matter well, what else do you want?"
