Chapter 612 Zhou Bingyi's calculations, New Year's greetings

Zhou Bingyi didn't care about Zhou Chen's attitude, or he was used to it.

In his opinion, his younger brother is narrow-minded. If you treat him well, he will greet you with a smile. If you treat him badly, he will definitely not give you a good face.

With this character, fortunately he didn't take an official career, otherwise he doesn't know how many people he would offend.

"Then you have to put your heart into it, it's our father's lifeblood, his whole life's hard work."

Zhou Chen glanced at him. He didn't know what Zhou Bingyi's plan was, but he could be sure that it was not as simple as he said.

"I know, you don't need to remind me."

Seeing that Zhou Chen was really interested, Zhou Bingyi was relieved. He was afraid that Zhou Chen would not listen, and he was a good-looking person. It was impossible for him to ask for a house from Xiao Guoqing's family, and it was also impossible for Zhou Zhigang to do this, so This matter can only be done by Zhou Chen himself.

He wanted to get the house back, and it was really for the sake of his parents. He felt that he wanted to provide for his parents, but he himself lived in Hao's villa, and he had no house at all.

He doesn't have much money, and he relies on university subsidies and savings to get by. Now that Hao Dongmei is working, Hao Dongmei often gives him money.

No money, no house, how to support parents?
As for why Zhou Chen's parents are not allowed to live in Zhou Chen's current house, that's even simpler. As the eldest son, he takes care of his parents, but ends up living in his younger brother's house. What's the matter?

He even has deeper plans.

He is now living in the Hao family's villa in the Provincial Courtyard, but this house does not belong to the Hao family. As long as the Hao family and his wife are gone, the house will be taken back.

And he felt that he was a big man, so he couldn't live under the fence all the time, he had to have his own place to live.

After much deliberation, the most reliable is the old house of the optical film.

If his parents can go back to live in Guangzi, he can also come and live with his parents when he returns to Jichun, instead of living in Hao's house every day.

Even if his parents don't come back to live, in case he has a small dispute with the Hao family couple, or with his wife Hao Dongmei, he can still have a place to hide.

So no matter what, this house still needs to be taken back, not because he wants to possess it, but to use it temporarily.

Zhou Bingyi comforted himself like this.

As for Zhou Chen's house, he never thought about it, even if he didn't have conflicts with Zhou Chen, he never thought about going to live in Zhou Chen's house, or living in his younger brother's house when he was the eldest brother?
He still has the guts.

"and also……"

"Do you have anything else?"

Hearing that Zhou Bingyi still had something to say, Zhou Chen immediately became unhappy. He didn't like Zhou Bingyi's tone very much.

Have you figured out what's going on with us now? You always talk to me in such an orderly tone. Who gave you the courage?
Zhou Bingyi didn't care about Zhou Chen's bad attitude, and continued: "When I came out today, I met Uncle Ma. He heard that you were back, and asked me to tell you to take the children to see them if you have time."

"Okay, I see."

After the two finished speaking, they returned to the private room.

In the private room, Zhou Rong chatted happily with her parents, Zheng Juan made food for the three children, but Hao Dongmei sat alone by the side, like an outsider.

Hao Dongmei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhou Bingyi came back. With Zhou Bingyi by her side, she didn't worry anymore.

She has been married to Zhou Bingyi for ten years. She used to have dinner with Zhou's family, and they were very happy. Both her parents-in-law were very warm to her.

But this time, she found that although her father-in-law and mother-in-law were very polite to her, they were very different from the previous enthusiasm. Even her sister-in-law was lukewarm to her, and the same was true of the three children.

Zheng Juan was the only one who treated her the same as before, but she felt awkward, because whenever she saw Zheng Juan, she would think of Zhou Chen and how he had hurt her parents.

When the dinner was about to end, Zhou Zhigang, who was flushed from drinking, stood up.

"Although our family has moved out of the optical film for many years, the optical film is still the root of our family, so I decided this time on the first day of the Lunar New Year, our family will go to the optical film together to give New Year greetings to the neighbors and neighbors."

Zhou Rong was the first to respond: "Dad, I listen to you. Speaking of which, I haven't been to optical film for a long time, and I really miss it."

These words are half true and half false. I really thought about it, but I didn't think about it that way. I wanted to go along with my father's proposal more.

Zhou Chen followed up and said, "I have no objection either."

He knew why Zhou Zhigang wanted to go to the optical film to pay New Year's greetings, in order to show off, but this is also human nature, wealth and honor do not return home, like a night walk in brocade.

Not everyone can keep a low profile and keep a low profile. Zhou Zhigang is such a face-saving person, and his three children are all promising. Of course he wants to return to his hometown to show off.

In fact, the last time he went home for the Chinese New Year, he wanted to go there, but due to various reasons, he didn't make it. This time, he made up his mind that he must go back to the optical film and bring the whole family back to celebrate the New Year.

Zhou Zhigang didn't feel much about Zhou Chen and Zhou Rong's promise, but just stared at his eldest son Zhou Bingyi.

Zhou Bingyi did not answer directly, but glanced at Hao Dongmei, and then replied: "Dad, I'm fine, Dongmei and I will go to the optical film early tomorrow morning, and we will celebrate the New Year with the neighbors, uncles and aunts. "

Zhou Zhigang immediately laughed happily: "Okay, then it's settled. Tomorrow morning, well, before eight o'clock, Bingyi, are you going to our place and come with us, or?"

Zhou Bingyi rushed to answer immediately: "Dongmei and I should go directly to the optical film, which will save us a lot of walking."

Zhou Zhigang was a little disappointed, he still thought that the elder son and his wife would have breakfast with him, but then he thought about it, the elder son didn't even want to eat the New Year's Eve dinner at the younger son's house, so how could he print out the breakfast for the first day of junior high school.

So he said helplessly: "Okay, then we will wait for you in the optical film tomorrow morning, dress smarter."

"Got it, Dad."

After Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei finished their meal, they said hello to their parents and sister, and then separated.

Zhou Zhigang looked at the direction in which the eldest son and daughter-in-law left, and sighed heavily, feeling very uncomfortable.

Obviously he is the father, but now he looks like an old man. His son lives in the old man's house all day long. He finally came back for a new year, but he didn't even see his son a few times. This made him feel very sad. Aggrieved.

At this moment, he really regretted that he let his eldest son find a wife from such a family, and he also regretted that he didn't recognize the true face of his in-laws earlier, so that his eldest son was caught in the middle.

The coming of New Year's Eve meant that the year was coming to an end. Zhou Chen took the children to set off firecrackers and played until the three children were tired before washing them and going to bed.

This night, father and son Zhou Chen and Zhou Zhigang sat together to complete the New Year's Eve.

Zhou Zhigang pulled Zhou Chen to say a lot of things, all of which were from the bottom of his heart, some of his experience in dealing with people, some of his experience as the head of the family, and...

Today, the eldest son suddenly raised the issue of the elderly couple's pension, which made him ponder for an afternoon, and he felt that it was time to seriously consider this issue.

But there is one thing that he has not thought about changing, that is, he will not live with the eldest son, he prefers to live with the younger son.

Although he did have the idea of ​​bringing his wife back to the optical film, but after serious consideration, he felt that it was still not realistic.

It doesn't matter to him, he has been used to it all these years, he can survive in any environment,
But his wife Li Suhua can't do it. By the time he retires, Li Suhua will already be over sixty.

After years of using tap water, flush toilets, electric lights, washing machines and other automated electrical appliances, and then let her go back to optical film, carry water and pour slop every day, cook firewood for big pot meals, and use dimly lit kerosene lamps, he felt that his wife would definitely not be able to. adapt.

Zhou Zhigang wants to save face and be vain, but he really loves and loves his wife who has been married to him for decades. He doesn't want to make his wife suffer when he grows old.

Therefore, the optical film house is indeed very important and meaningful to him, but what is more important is his family, his wife, son and grandson.

Zhou Bingyi suggested that he should go back to the digital film. He neither agreed nor objected, but he already had the answer in his heart.

It was also the first time for Zhou Chen to have a long talk with Zhou Zhigang. Looking at the old father who had turned gray at the temples and spoke in a kind tone, he deeply felt the helplessness in the old father's heart, which greatly changed his view of Zhou Zhigang. .

Before dawn the next day, Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua had already woken up, and they both put on new clothes, which Zhou Chen bought for them in Yanjing.

Originally, the old couple were reluctant to wear them, but Zhou Chen persuaded them with a few words, and of course they had to dress up brightly to celebrate the New Year.

The old couple made a lot of noise, and soon woke up Zhou Chen and the others, so several adults also got up one after another, and then the cooks cooked, and the children called the children.

New year, new day, new weather...

After breakfast, Zhou's family, led by Zhou Zhigang, went to the optical film in a mighty way, without even riding a bicycle.

When we arrived at the border of the light-text film, we saw Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei standing beside the bicycle waiting for them.

"Bingyi, Dongmei, when did you come here? Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, Dad, we just arrived."

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei waved their hands again and again, and said with a smile, today is the first day of the new year, and everyone is in a very happy mood.

"Let's go."

Zhou Zhigang didn't say much, just waved his hand, and then took the lead into the optical film.

As soon as they entered the area of ​​the optical film, someone recognized the Zhou family and his party.

"Oh, isn't this Zhou Zhigang, Brother Zhou, you guys came back this year for the Chinese New Year?"

Zhou Zhigang also laughed happily when he saw his acquaintance: "It's you, Wang Laosan, we haven't seen each other for several years, you've aged a lot."

"That's right, the last time we met was a few years ago. It's been several years. Brother Zhou, happy Chinese New Year."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

"This is your child and grandson. After so many years, I can only recognize one. Bingkun, you are Zhou Bingkun."

"Haha, you still have good eyesight, this is indeed my family's naughty."

"Where are you going, brother Zhou, look at what you said, Bingkun is the pride of our optical film, a college student, he should have graduated, where do you work?"

"Graduated, graduated, this kid is a medical student, and now he is assigned to the First Affiliated Hospital of Yenching Medical College, what kind of position is it, yes, yes, attending physician."

"Hey, the doctor of Yanjing Hospital, it's amazing, Brother Zhou, congratulations, Bingkun is so promising, if my brat is half as promising as Bingkun, then I can wake up laughing from my dreams. "

"Where, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."

Zhou Zhigang was talking to Wang Laosan. In fact, he was quite surprised. He thought that when he came to the optical film and met acquaintances, the first ones to be praised would be the eldest son and daughter. After all, in those days, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong His reputation is much better than that of Zhou Bingkun.

Along the way, I greeted people when I met them. Most of them were polite instructions, but there were also a few neighbors who had a good relationship. After seeing the three children, they took out red envelopes.

Zhou Zhigang is a person who wants to meet, and when others give red envelopes, he is also courteous, and he sends out the red envelopes he has prepared a long time ago.

Listening to his familiar neighbors praising his children, the smile on Zhou Zhigang's face has never stopped. Today, he has more smiles than he has in the past few years.

As he walked, he came to the old Zhou's house. Xiao Guoqing, who was cleaning the yard, saw the people from the old Zhou's coming, and immediately cried out excitedly.

"Uncle, Aunt, Kun'er, Brother Bingyi, why are you here?"

His greeting immediately alarmed Wu Qian and others in the room, and many people walked out of the room, even Xiao Guoqing's parents were there.

Xiao Guoqing's parents were older than Zhou Zhigang and his wife, and they exchanged pleasantries as soon as they met, and all kinds of compliments and gratitude came out of their mouths.

He boasted that the three children of the Zhou family were admitted to college, and he also expressed his gratitude to Zhou Chen, saying that if Zhou Chen hadn't lent their house to their family for the National Day, their family's life would not be able to survive, etc.

Zhou Zhigang enjoyed this kind of praise and flattery very much, and he went into the house to look at his house, he was relieved to see that the house was well organized.

This is his house, and it can be organized and protected so well that he no longer minds lending it out so much.

After leaving here, he went to someone else's house, and finally came to Old Qiao's house after walking.

Because Li Suhua and Chunyan's mother are old sisters and have a very good relationship, the two families are relatively close. They didn't go to other people's houses, but when they came to Qiao's house, they went to Qiao's house to rest.

In the room, Father Qiao was talking to Zhou Zhigang, and the others were eating melon seeds and chatting.

Father Qiao gave a thumbs up and praised again and again: "Zhigang, our family has three children, but compared with the three children in your family, the three children in my family are like heaven and earth. The universities in the capital that they all got into are all prestigious universities, and the three in my family, well, let’s not mention them.”

"Zhigang, it's still you, you have the right way to teach your children, and you have the right way to teach your children."

Zhou Zhigang laughed and said, "What's the matter, my mother and I don't understand anything, it's all the child's own struggle."

"Hey, it's different if it's different, Zhigang, your children are more promising, why don't the three of us have this ability?"

Joe's father looked regretful. This is the truth. Not only him, but how many old people in the optical film do not envy Zhou Zhigang?

Chunyan's mother was a little dissatisfied with her husband belittling her daughter, and said in a joking tone: "Hey, our family, Chunyan, is now the deputy director of the District Women's Federation, and it's not too bad."

Qiao Chunyan stared aside. She was also proud to be the deputy director, but as her horizons broadened, she knew very well that there was still a big gap between her as the deputy director and the famous college students of the Zhou family.

Father Qiao: "Come on, come on, let's stop talking about what we all know, what are you bragging about, what are you showing off?"

Zhou Zhigang stopped with a smile: "Old Qiao, Chunyan is pretty good."

"That's not bad. Compared with Bingkun and the others, they are far behind. By the way, I heard from our family Chunyan that Bingkun is already working now, and he is still in a big hospital in the capital. It's amazing. Bingyi and Xiaorong, They have also graduated, where are they assigned?"

Zhou Zhigang explained with a smile: "Bingkun has graduated to become a doctor, but Bingyi and Xiao Rong have not yet worked. After graduation, they have been admitted to postgraduate studies and are currently studying for postgraduate courses."

Qiao's father and Chunyan's mother both looked at a loss: "Graduate student? What is that, research?"

Qiao Chunyan explained from the side: "Dad, Mom, graduate students are not studying anything, but are better than college students. After graduation, they will be state cadres."

In fact, she doesn't know much about graduate students, but she can't be timid at this time.

Father Qiao was surprised when he heard it, and praised again: "It's amazing, Zhigang, Bingyi and Xiao Rong will definitely have more prospects in the future, especially Bingyi, it's fine if he has ability, and there is an old man who is a high-ranking official Man, he will definitely be a high official in the future."

The smile on Zhou Zhigang's face faded away, turned a little gloomy, and said with a dry smile: "Where, where, who can say this kind of thing is accurate, it depends on his own ability, after sitting for so long, we should go."

"Don't, Zhigang, now that you're gone, you don't know when we will meet next time, let's talk again, talk again."

"No, no."

…………

After leaving Qiao Chunyan's house, Zhou Zhigang took the family to a few more New Year's visits. It was not until Feng Yue was too tired and his legs hurt that he stopped showing off and prepared to take the children home.

Looking at Zhou Zhigang, who was walking with his hands behind his back, walking like a dragon, and smiling all over his face, Zhou Chen couldn't stop laughing secretly. This little old man has a strong sense of vanity.

It's just that at noon, Zhou Zhigang's good mood lost half, because after the optical text came out, Zhou Bingyi said something, and took Hao Dongmei away. He didn't mean to go to Zhou Chen's place to have dinner with his family at all.

Although Zhou Zhigang didn't say anything, there was a thorn in his heart. If this continues, how much affection will the eldest son have with them?

In other words, once the old couple left, the two brothers would really never see each other.

Zhou Zhigang did not want to see such a situation.

After lunch, Zheng Juan said to Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, when I was at Chunyan's house in the morning, she pulled me and said, let's get together again in the third grade of junior high school."

Zhou Chen didn't answer, but asked, "Then what do you think?"

Zheng Juan said: "I listen to you."

"Then don't step on her. You saw it last time. We are living a good life now. It will be more difficult to sit with them and chat peacefully. Today is different."

But in the third day of junior high school, Qiao Chunyan didn't come to the door, but Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao came to the door.

"National Day, catch up, why are you here, have you eaten yet?"

Zhou Chen was very surprised to see Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao rushing over early in the morning, and had some guesses in his heart.

Sure enough, what Sun Chanchao said next answered his guess.

"Kun'er, isn't today the third year of junior high school? We haven't had a gathering in three years, so why don't we have a gathering today? We're here to invite you."

Zhou Chen didn't get together, but said: "Why don't you bring your wives and children to my house for Juju?"

Xiao Guoqing waved his hand and said, "Don't, Kun'er, you are not here anymore, you should go to my place, I have already asked Wu Qian to start preparations."

Sun Chanchao also echoed: "Yes, Kun'er, I also asked Yu Hong to help, don't think about it, call Zheng Juan, let's go."

Facing the two enthusiastic youngsters, Zhou Chen couldn't refuse, so he could only nod his head in agreement, talk to his parents, and then took Zheng Juan and Xiao Guoqing to the optical film by bicycle.
