The world of film and television starts from a young age.

Chapter 623 New Year, another moth, meeting with in-laws?

"Okay, okay."

After shopping around, Zhou Zhigang didn't know what to say, so he could only say yes.

Seeing that Zhou Zhigang was very satisfied, Li Suhua also smiled happily. She is a person who is easily satisfied. As long as her husband and son feel good, she will feel good.

Her son is capable and can give her a better life, and her husband has retired. She feels that she can enjoy family happiness next, which is what makes her happiest.

"Father, we went downstairs for dinner. Today we wanted to welcome you, but Xiaorong and the others cooked the kitchen themselves and said they would cook you a big meal."

Zhou Zhigang asked in surprise: "Really? It's been so many years, I haven't eaten the big meal made by Xiaorong and the others. I will have a good taste later."

"Then you must taste it well. She has used so many ingredients. If you can't make it well, you have to tell her."

"Haha, how can you be such a mother."

At dinner time, everyone in the Zhou family gathered around a big round table. The Zhou family has a relatively large population. There are eleven people from the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. There is really no room for an ordinary round table, so Zhou Chen specially ordered a larger one. round table.

Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng were indeed very busy. They cooked more than a dozen dishes, plus staple foods such as buns and steamed buns, and set up a large table full.

"Dad, this is the first reunion of our family after 83 years. Would you like to say a few words?" Zhou Rong began to encourage Zhou Zhigang to say a few words.

Zhou Zhigang looked around, looked at his children and grandsons, and saw the smiles on their faces, feeling very satisfied.

"Okay, then I'll just say a few words."

"Everyone applauds and welcomes."

Everyone applauded, and the three children worked extra hard.

Just as Zhou Zhi was about to stand up, he was stopped by everyone.

"Dad, we are all family members. You can just sit down and talk. We are all listening."

Zhou Zhigang said with a smile: "It has been 69 years since our family went their separate ways in 19. During this nearly 20 years, our family has only reunited a few times in total, with more separations and less separations."

Speaking of this, he was very emotional. With so many family members, he actually spends the shortest time with everyone, and other people can still meet frequently.

"But it's okay now, I'm retired, Bingkun's family has brought their children back to live in Jichun, Bingyi and Dongmei are also in Jichun, so Xiaorong, Huacheng, you are the only ones left in the capital .”

Zhou Rong pretended to be pitiful and sighed: "Yes, you are all gone, and now I am the only one left, Dad, why don't you and Mom go to Yanjing with me? Anyway, they are already retired. , you haven't been to Yanjing yet, can you go there for a while?"

Zhou Zhigang waved his hands again and again: "Your father and I have just retired, and we haven't had time to rest yet. No, no."

Although he is also very curious and yearning for the capital Yanjing, but now he has no intention of going to Yanjing to play, he wants to be with his wife and children and enjoy the family happiness.

"Okay, then we are really left alone in Yanjing."

Zhou Rong pretended to be disappointed, but he had already guessed that it was impossible for her father to go with her.

"Okay, Zhou Rong, don't interrupt Dad, let Dad continue." Zhou Bingyi stopped Zhou Rong's gag.

"Brother, you are the only one in charge."

Zhou Zhigang regained his serious expression and continued: "Actually, I don't have much to say. The three of you have grown up and married, and each of you is more promising than the other. You and I are just old workers. I am no longer qualified to lecture you."

Speaking of this, his expression became complicated. The three children were all more promising and learned than him. Although he was a father, he really didn't know how to lecture him.

Seeing the loneliness on Zhou Zhigang's face, Zhou Chen said: "Dad, what you said is wrong. No matter how promising we are or how capable we are, we are still your children. As a father, it is only natural for us to lecture our children." things."

"Yes, Bingkun is right, Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Yes, Dad, tell me, I like hearing you talk the most."

Zhou Zhigang smiled happily, and the lonely expression on his face was also swept away.

"You are all good boys. The thing that Dad is most proud of in his life is having the three of you."

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and I actually don't have much to say. What I want to say most is, I hope you, Ruirui, Yueyue, and Congcong, will all go smoothly in the future, be happy, and be a good person to the country and society. useful person."

Zhou Zhigang has been serving the country and working hard for his children all his life, so what he most wants to see is for his children to be successful and then serve the country.

Zhou Bingyi replied with a serious expression: "Dad, don't worry, the three of us will definitely listen to your teachings and contribute our strength to the country and society."

"That's the best, haha, let's eat, let's eat, Ruirui, Yueyue, Congcong, eat."

"Yes, Grandpa." "Okay, Grandpa."

Under Zhou Zhigang's command, the family immediately began to move their chopsticks, and the laughter resounded throughout the small western building.

After drinking and eating, Zhou Zhigang smiled and said to Zhou Rong: "Rong'er, the food tonight is good, and the cooking has improved."

Zhou Rong smiled shyly and said, "Most of them are made by chemical process, I just made a few, Dad, Mom, I'll take you out for a walk, let's get rid of the food, the surrounding environment of Bingkun's house is very Yes, there is also a small park."

"Really, then you can go out for a walk."

Zhou Zhigang agreed happily. He had been on the train for such a long time and had been delayed for a few hours, which made him feel a lot easier.

What's more, he has already retired, and he will have time to rest in the future. After the Chinese New Year, wouldn't it be good to go for a walk with his relatives and children?

So, Zhou Zhigang went out with the whole family, and only Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan stayed at home in the end.

"Bingkun, why don't you go out with your parents?"

"Compared to going out with so many of them, I would rather stay with you."

Zhou Chen helped Zheng Juan clean up the room, then hugged Zheng Juan over and let her sit on him.

Zheng Juan's face turned red all of a sudden: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "What are you doing? Can't I make out with my wife? Well~"

Zheng Juan blushed even more when she was kissed by Zhou Chen. Even after more than ten years of marriage, she was still relatively shy in some respects, and blushed when she was teased.

"Bingkun..."

Zheng Juan's voice shocked Zhou Chen. He stroked Zheng Juan's cheek and looked at Zheng Juan's hands.

Zheng Juan is a housewife at home, but because of Li Suhua's help, and Zhou Chen bought her good hand cream, etc., although her hands still have marks, they still look beautiful.

"Juan'er."

Zhou Chen turned his body violently and pressed Zheng Juan down, "Juan'er, I miss you..."

Zheng Juan was immediately ashamed, and exclaimed: "Bingkun, Mom and Dad just left, I don't know when they will come back, we will be... woo, woo..."

Before she finished speaking, her lips were blocked by Zhou Chen, and then she felt the invasion of Zhou Chen's hands, and she shuddered immediately.

After a while, she parted her lips before she subconsciously shouted: "Door~door, lamp..."

In an instant, the bedroom was filled with spring...

Zhou Chen put on his clothes in a refreshed manner, and then played tricks on Zheng Juan with his hands, which made Zheng Juan roll her eyes.

"You know how to torment me. If someone came back just now, I would lose face."

"Then tell me, were you happy just now?"

"what!"

Zheng Juan covered her face and didn't give Zhou Chen the chance to tease her. Every time she faced Zhou Chen's teasing, she was powerless to resist, or rather, she didn't want to resist.

"Juan'er, I will make you happier in the future."

Zheng Juan's whole person is soft when she said this, Zhou Chen is really too strong, every time she tosses her half to death, but she has only experienced Zhou Chen as a man, so she doesn't know the situation of others , I just feel that this should be the case between men and women.

"I'm very happy now."

The two didn't stay warm for long, Zhou Zhigang and others who went out for a stroll soon returned home.

Not long after Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei came back, they left by bicycle, and everyone else started to wash up and get ready for bed.

Because there are more Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng, four rooms are not enough. The couple wanted to squeeze together with Feng Yue, but Feng Yue refused to agree, so they could only temporarily make a bed in the study, and Feng Yue fell asleep angrily. In the study.

On New Year's Eve, the streets were very lively. Zheng Juan and Zhou Rong took the children out to play early. Zhou Chen couldn't avoid the meal and went to have lunch with the city leaders.

The idea of ​​the leaders in the city is very simple. No matter what, Zhou Chen must be kept. For the current Jichun, any investment is necessary.

What's more, they know the scale of Chenxing Group. If they invest, at least a few million, if it can reach tens of millions or even more, it will be a huge achievement. Who can't be tempted?

Because Zhou Chen wasn't at home at noon, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei didn't go there either, but stayed at home and had dinner with Jin Yueji.

"Bingyi, your father is also retired now. You have to be filial to your parents in the future. They raised you three so well and trained you so well. You must be grateful."

Holding the bowl and chopsticks, Jin Yueji instructed Zhou Bingyi.

Zhou Bingyi replied: "I know, it's really not easy for my parents. My mother is fine, with Bingkun and the children by my side, but my father has been suffering in other places for so many years. As a son , can't help at all."

Jin Yueji said with emotion: "Yes, your father is indeed a great person. The construction of the motherland depends on front-line workers like them. Without them, the construction of the third front line cannot be completed at all. Compared with us, their efforts are a little There are many."

"Perhaps it is because your father is such a person that you are able to cultivate the three outstanding talents. Hehe, he not only helped the country with his own hands, but also passed on his beliefs to the next generation. He is behind the country. hero."

Zhou Bingyi did not expect his mother-in-law, who is a high-ranking official, to give his father such a high evaluation, which surprised him very much.

"My dad will be very happy if he knows that you have said that about him."

Jin Yueji smiled, and then casually said: "Bingyi, speaking of it, I have never met your parents formally, why don't you go back and ask your parents, let's meet some time, you can come to our place , you can also go to your house."

"what?"

Zhou Bingyi was dumbfounded, and Hao Dongmei was also dumbfounded.

"Mom, what did you just say? You want to meet Bingyi's parents?"

Jin Yueji glared at her as if: "What Bingyi's parents, they are also your in-laws, they are not polite at all."

Hao Dongmei smiled embarrassedly, and continued to ask: "Mom, is what you just said true?"

Zhou Bingyi also looked at Jin Yueji expectantly.

Jin Yueji met her daughter and son-in-law's gaze, and sighed faintly: "In the past, your father and I couldn't help ourselves for various reasons, and we couldn't get along with your parents, so that a misunderstanding occurred later. So many years have passed, I don’t have many years to live, and there are still some things to do.”

She was willing to put down her dignity and say these words, not for herself, but more for her daughter and son-in-law, that's why she wanted to meet her in-laws.

Zhou Bingyi looked serious, and immediately said: "Mom, then I'll go back tonight and discuss it with my parents."

Jin Yueji nodded and said: "Well, go back and discuss with them. If they don't want to, don't force it. After all, it was because of us that they didn't see it. Later, something like that happened again. They didn't want to meet because of love Excuse me."

Zhou Bingyi comforted: "Mom, don't think so much, my parents are not like that."

Hao Dongmei also persuaded from the side: "Yes, Mom, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are very good people. When Bingyi goes back and tells them, they will definitely agree to meet."

"Hopefully."

Jin Yueji was not as at ease as they thought, she had never met the Zhou family couple, but from the description of her daughter and son-in-law, she could somewhat tell who they were.

She doesn't worry much about this in-law couple, they all love their children, and she believes that their thinking is not much different from her own.

She was worried about another member of the Zhou family, the youngest son of the Zhou family.

She had seen how powerful this young man was, and she knew very well that Zhou Chen's status in the hearts of the Zhou family members was definitely higher than that of Zhou Bingyi. Zhou Bingyi could influence the Zhou family couple, but definitely not as influential as Zhou Chen.

The New Year's Eve dinner was another rare reunion. Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua distributed the red envelopes they had prepared a long time ago one by one.

From Zhou Bingyi and his wife, to Zhou Chen and his wife, to the youngest three children, they gave everyone red envelopes.

Zhou Chen also prepared red envelopes, first for each of the parents, and then for each of the three children.

There are more for parents, one hundred for ten, one thousand for each person, and one hundred for each of the three children.

As soon as Zhou Zhi opened the red envelope, he became impatient: "Bingkun, why do you give me and your mother so much money, just give me ten or eight yuan for a while."

One person costs 1000 yuan, and the two add up to 2000 yuan. Even if he works for two years, he still can't save that much money. He thinks Zhou Chen is too extravagant.

Zhou Rong persuaded with a smile: "Dad, you can accept what Bingkun gave you. In your eyes, this is a lot of money, but in his eyes, it is no different from one yuan or two."

She also knew about Zhou Chen's ability and assets. This incident shocked her greatly.

But one good thing about her is that even if she knew that Zhou Chen was so rich and capable, she didn't think about asking Zhou Chen for help or anything, just envious and jealous.

Li Suhua has lived by Zhou Chen's side for so many years, so he understands the character of his youngest son very well, and he is more optimistic than Zhou Zhigang.

"Father, you can take what Bingkun gives you. We'll buy delicious food for the children after the Chinese New Year."

Zhou Zhigang still felt a little uncomfortable. He was used to being diligent and thrifty. Seeing Zhou Chen giving money like this, even giving a hundred to a child, it was a bit of a shock.

He told Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, I will accept it this time, and there will be no next time. Also, although you are rich now, you still have to pay attention to spending. It is not easy to make money, so don't waste money." ,do you know?"

Zhou Chen knew that his father's consciousness hadn't changed, so he didn't refute it.

"Don't worry, Dad, I understand."

With Zhou Chen at the beginning, Zhou Bingyi and his wife were a little embarrassed, because they prepared red envelopes, but they only prepared for their three children, not their parents.

The same goes for Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng on the other side, but they were not as embarrassed as Zhou Bingyi and his wife, they just generously gave red envelopes to their three children.

Li Suhua saw the embarrassment of the eldest son and his wife, so he took the initiative to resolve it and asked them to send red envelopes to the three children.

After Zhou Rui's three children received the red envelopes, they all happily put them away.

In terms of pocket money in red envelopes, Zhou Chen never asked them to hand them in. Zheng Juan would do it before, but Zhou Chen made sense of it later.

Zhou Cong, the youngest of the three children, is almost 12 years old this year. It is normal for a child of this age to have some private money of his own.

These three children are also very good-natured. Even if they are rich, there is no need to worry about them learning bad things.

It is not necessarily correct to raise children richly, but it is not without merit. The way children are educated is actually directly related to family conditions.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhou Bingyi dragged his parents into the room and told them what his mother-in-law meant.

Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua were surprised when they heard Zhou Bingyi's words.

The events of that year are still vivid in my mind, and suddenly I learned that my in-laws wanted to meet each other, which made the old couple think a lot.

"Bingyi, Dongmei's mother really said that?"

Zhou Zhigang didn't speak, but Li Suhua asked in confirmation.

Zhou Bingyi replied affirmatively: "Yes, Mom, during lunch today, Dongmei's mother mentioned this matter to us, Dad, Mom, I know what happened a few years ago made everyone unhappy, but this time , I think she is very sincere; and I also feel that Dongmei's mother has changed a lot over the years, and this time she is absolutely sincere."

Li Suhua explained: "Mom didn't mean that, it's just that you should talk about the baby's father."

Zhou Bingyi could only look at his father Zhou Zhigang, and Zhou Zhigang was frowning.

In fact, when he heard that Jin Yueji wanted to see them, he was very happy, because this was the thing he cared about the most in the past few years.

But today is different from the past, not because the Hao family is not a high-ranking official now, but because of the grudges caused by those things that happened back then.

He admitted that he was a little vain at the beginning, that's why he wanted to meet the Hao family couple, and at the same time, he wanted the Hao family couple to recognize them and their son Zhou Bingyi.

But after so many years, he no longer had the original idea in his heart, and instead felt a little uncomfortable.

You said to meet at the beginning, but it didn't happen in the end, and there was no follow-up. Then, they were not notified of Hao Gaoguan's funeral. This is really a shame.

As an in-law, they don't even notify you of the funeral and don't want you to come. What kind of in-law is this?
So although Zhou Zhigang didn't say anything these years, he was actually feeling uncomfortable all the time, but he didn't show it because he knew that the eldest son was difficult to do.

Now that he heard that Jin Yueji wanted to meet again, he didn't want to see him more than he wanted to.

The reason why you don’t want to see each other is very simple. We don’t just come and go when you want to. We wait to see you when you want to see each other. If you don’t want to see each other, we can only agree.

The respect is mutual, but he doesn't feel much of it.

It's just that he saw the eagerness and anticipation on his eldest son's face, and suddenly he couldn't say the words of refusal.

…………

By the time Zhou Chen knew about this, it was already the night of the first day of the new year.

"what?"

Zhou Chen put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at his father Zhou Zhigang in surprise: "Dad, you said you want to meet your sister-in-law and her mother?"

Zhou Zhigang frowned, and scolded dissatisfiedly: "Bingkun, why are you so rude? That's your sister-in-law's mother, who is your elder. How can you just call someone by their name?"

Zhou Chen snorted dissatisfiedly: "She's just Zhou Bingyi's elder, not mine. Dad, Mom, do you really want to meet her? Have you forgotten how their family treated our family back then?"

Zhou Rong also just learned the news, and it was rare for her to stand on the same front as Zhou Chen.

"Bingkun is right. Have you forgotten what happened back then? How did they humiliate our family? Now that she is going to meet again, what does she think of our family?"

Zhou Zhigang said in a deep voice: "There is a reason for what happened back then. Besides, it's your sister-in-law's natal family over there. As in-laws, we should meet."

Zhou Chen sneered and said: "If she really wanted to meet, she could have met many years ago, and it was delayed until now, hehe..."

Zhou Zhigang was a little unhappy when he saw his youngest son's disdainful face: "Bingkun, meeting is good for both of us. As a human being, you can't live in the past, and you can't keep grudges in the past. You have to learn to come out and solve this problem peacefully."

"You're an elder, you're right, but I'm a low-minded person with a poor brain. You can forget what happened back then, but I can't."

Zhou Chen's expression was silent, and he said slowly: "Dad, I have no objection that you want to meet her, but I don't want to meet her, let alone talk about reconciliation."

Zhou Zhigang's face turned dark: "Dongmei's mother invited our family to visit their house tomorrow. If you don't go, what will you say?"

But Zhou Chen still didn't change his mind.

"You go to meet her in-laws, why should I follow? Not only me, but also Zheng Juan and the children will not go."

"Bingkun."

Zhou Zhigang shot up angrily, and Li Suhua's face changed again. She couldn't help thinking of many years ago.

"Father, please speak up if you have something to say, why are you getting angry?"

Zhou Zhigang also realized that he was too impulsive, he said angrily: "I want to talk to him, but look at his attitude."

"Shut up, let me tell you."

Li Suhua glared at him, then looked at Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, I know you don't want to, but after all, this is about your elder brother, you are brothers, you should help him, just let you go Come on, if you don't want to talk, you don't have to talk."

But Zhou Chen was very firm this time, but when facing Li Suhua, his tone became much softer.

"Mom, you should understand me. If it's an annoying person, I don't even want to pretend, so don't make things difficult for me."

Li Suhua sighed in her heart, she wanted to increase face for her eldest son, but Zhou Chen was also her youngest son, it was impossible for her to sacrifice her more filial younger son for the sake of her elder son.

There is no reason for this.

Although she has never read a book, the steelyard in her heart is fairer than many scholars.

"Father, why don't you just forget about it, let Bingkun go if he doesn't want to go, if you insist on letting him go, I'm afraid..."

Zhou Zhigang's face suddenly changed. Although his wife hadn't finished speaking, he already understood what his wife meant. If Zhou Chen was forced to go, Zhou Chen's face would suddenly change when they met again, and it would be even more difficult to end.

Thinking of this, he was also startled, but he still kept a straight face.

"I think your skills have improved now. You don't even listen to your parents. If you don't want to go, you can do whatever you want. You can explain it to your elder brother yourself afterwards."

Zhou Chen didn't take it seriously at all, and sat down to eat again.

Zhou Rong at the table saw that Zhou Zhigang agreed, her eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Dad, I don't want to go either, I think..."

But before she finished speaking, Zhou Zhigang interrupted roughly: "Shut up, you have to go."

Zhou Rong immediately shrank her neck, and dared not bring it up again.

On the second day of the new year, it was the beginning of returning to her natal home, but Zheng Juan's natal home was empty, and her only younger brother was still in Pengcheng, so the family didn't need to go back to her natal home.

After dinner early in the morning, Zhou Bingyi came, and then left home with his parents and sister.

He also invited Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen didn't care about him at all, so angry that he could only walk away.

Zhou Chen didn't go, neither did Zheng Juan, but Zhou Rui was dragged away by Zhou Bingyi, saying that Hao Dongmei missed him very much, Zhou Rui had no choice but to leave with Zhou Chen's consent.

Feng Yue and Zhou Cong were also accompanying, but Feng Yue went to Hao's house together, while Zhou Cong and Zhou Chen asked their mother to send him to Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen.

Ever since, Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan were the only ones who stayed at home in the end.

Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't waste half a minute of such a rare time for the two of them. After breakfast, the two of them went back to bed to rest.

I can't help it, I'm too tired these days, I probably won't be able to get up during the day today...
