Chapter 386: One Year of Hope and Two Days of Happiness

On the twenty-nine and thirty-two days, Wang Yan and his family stayed together, cooking and making dumplings, writing and posting couplets, and setting off firecrackers. Not to brag, he is now the person with the highest status in the optical film field, bar none. I used to ask him to write couplets. His calligraphy was beautiful and the neighbors gave him face. Now, he writes couplets to the neighbors, which is to give them face.

In the past few years, of course, some people came to him to do things, or to find Li Suhua and Zhou Bingkun. Ordinary people always have some problems that cannot be solved or are difficult to solve. Some people are easy to do things and always want to take shortcuts. We all know that he has a wide range of people, and people who don’t know him always want to get involved. Li Suhua and Zhou Bingkun didn't speak, so he basically didn't care about anyone.

Li Suhua understands everything, she never speaks. Zhou Bingkun is even more so. Wang Yan was always helping him, but he was always busy one day. He was too embarrassed to cause trouble to his good brother. Therefore, in the past few years, Wang Yan has not done anything for others, and he is not afraid of what others will say.

Everyone has a disease that cannot be tolerated.

In the evening, his family lived in the old house that originally belonged to him, and they didn't have separate rooms. They slept together in the east room with Zhou Bingkun and others, chatting in random directions, laughing and joking, which was quite lively.

When he married Chen Jing, basically everything was bought new. Chen Jing brought two quilts as part of her dowry, and Li Suhua also made two new quilts for him. Therefore, all the beddings originally brought by the living father were left behind. Over the past two years, all those beddings were dismantled by Zheng Juan, and they were played again by someone. The quilt covers and sheets that were sewn with the ripped fabrics were basically brand new. Zheng Juan is really capable.

On the first day of the new year, Li Suhua got up early in the morning to work with Zheng Juan and Chen Jing. Her family was leaving home again and they would not see each other for who knows how many years. She wanted to make a sumptuous meal for her son and daughter-in-law to eat and drink well.

Wang Yan, who got up early, sat on a small bench with a cigarette in his mouth and lit a fire: "Auntie, I'm going to tell you that yesterday's leftovers are so delicious. My eldest brother and sister-in-law drank a lot, and what you cooked are all meat dishes. They both can't eat it at all."

"How can I not know? Whether they eat or not is their business, and whether they do or not is my mother's business. They are outside and cannot eat a few mouthfuls of good food all year round. They are suffering."

"Now that Sister-in-law Dongmei and her parents have been rehabilitated, and their treatment has returned to the previous level, didn't it mean that the two sons were separated? They only have Sister-in-law Dongmei in the family, so how can they still suffer?"

"Oh, Xiaoyan, if you keep nagging, my aunt will get angry with you. Go, stop being annoying in front of me, and go to the west room to pack things for Dongmei and her parents."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows, stood up with a smile and went to the west room to pack his things.

Li Suhua snorted: "You little bastard, just be angry with me."

Chen Jing smiled and said, "Auntie, he is so annoying."

"It's not good, you have to take good care of him."

Zheng Juan pursed her lips and chuckled while she was busy. He knew that this good brother wanted to eliminate the old woman's unhappiness, but at this time, she couldn't be happy no matter what. From the moment she came to this house, she listened to the old woman's words every day. She had been looking forward to this for several years, but she was only happy for two days, and the old woman was sad...

At around seven o'clock, other drunken adults and snoozing children woke up, and Lao Zhou's house became lively again.

Zhou Zhigang rubbed his head and looked at Wang Yan, who was completely fine, with a smile: "I can't accept my old age. If I were twenty years younger, I would drink you down and get down."

Zhou Bingkun directly took the gourd gourd and drank the cold water used for tooth extraction: "I feel like I can drink it quite well, and my eldest brother is not bad either. The three of us have been drunk, so what else can we say? It will make you young." It’s not easy even at twenty years old.”

"Just tear me down." Zhou Zhigang kicked his old son angrily, then turned to look at his eldest son: "Bingyi, are you okay?"

"Dad, I'm fine. The wine Xiaoyan brought back is all good wine. I can't get enough of it."

"Where's Dongmei, how are you?"

Hao Dongmei, who was holding the chopsticks, smiled and shook her head: "I'm a very good dad. He doesn't drink as much as my mother."

"That's right, your mother is a drunkard." Zhou Zhigang said with a smile: "Okay, the meal is ready, sit down and eat quickly. Don't delay your ten o'clock train. It's not easy to buy tickets at this time. ”

A group of people sat down around the table in a lively manner, eating a table of newly prepared dishes that several women had been busy working on all morning.

Zhou Bingyi looked at the pots and dishes on the table: "Mom, why are you cooking so many dishes? There are so many leftovers from yesterday. With so much left, you can't eat until fifteen?"

"It's okay to eat what you have. How long do you care if I eat it?" Li Suhua said: "Xiaoyan, you can eat it. Don't fire it these days. Come back for dinner in the evening."

Wang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, look, my aunt is still kind to me. These are all made for me. Okay, I'll eat them all."

Zhou Zhigang laughed, ignored it, and changed the subject: "Xiao Yan, you have to go to Chen Jing's place tomorrow, right?"

"Well, I have to go and have a look. What's going on, uncle? If you have something to do, it's okay not to go. It's not far away, and I often go there on weekdays." Wang Yan didn't lie. It's close. Normally, If nothing happens, take the child back.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that you and Chen Jing have been married for so many years, and the children are so old. I haven't met her parents yet. After your parents left, the responsibility for taking care of you fell on us, and you too. The only elder, the in-laws always want to meet. When I came back last time, I was worried that Chen Jing’s family was busy with work, so I didn’t mention it since it was the Chinese New Year. I thought they should not be busy anymore, so we should meet. "

Without Wang Yan speaking, Chen Jing, who was taking care of her son for dinner, spoke up: "Uncle, my parents have wanted to meet you for a long time, but you have been away these years and have no chance. Then Wang Yan and I will go back at noon. Tell them and let’s have dinner together tonight.”

"Okay, Suhua, Juan'er, you two are in trouble, let's have some fun tonight."

Wang Yan waved his hand and said: "Uncle, don't bother. Let's go to a state-owned restaurant to eat in the evening. It saves trouble and trouble, and also saves a lot of food left at home. Just in time, Juan'er, you go back and call Auntie, there is still light , let’s eat together.”

Zheng Juan shook her head and refused: "No, no, they won't go. Besides, the second child is a little older, and he can't go out. It's okay to ask my mother and others to come and stay with me."

"Yes, children are indeed a problem." Wang Yan nodded: "Then let's cook it at home. We'll get it together. Let's eat the leftovers later."

Zhou Zhigang nodded with a smile: "Okay, that's the arrangement. Let's have dinner at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise it won't be too late to leave." He had met Zheng's mother and Zheng Guangming, so he didn't mention it. Now Wang Yan took the initiative to bring it up, saving him Zheng Juan from overthinking, and he was happy to do so.

After talking about this matter, the atmosphere at the dinner table was still a little heavy for a while. Li Suhua was harping on her son and daughter-in-law, and Zhou Bingyi was there to explain things to Zhou Bingkun. The back and forth was full of sorrow of separation.

After eating, Wang Yan and Zhou Bingkun helped hang things on the bicycle. Li Suhua was directing on the side, and Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were there to stop them. They took too much. They also have to carry their own luggage, which is impossible on a crowded train. In the end, Zhou Zhigang made the decision and took away a lot of things. He only packed a large sack for ease of use.

Then Wang Yan took Zhou Bingkun on his bicycle, and Zhou Bingyi took Hao Dongmei on his bicycle. They said goodbye to their reluctant parents and set off to the city's train station to wait for the bus.

Wang Yan and Zhou Bingkun helped carry things until they arrived at the platform and waited for the train to arrive.

Zhou Bingyi told him, "Bingkun, my father has to go back to the mountain city tomorrow. You and Zheng Juan are the only ones left at home, so you have to take good care of your mother. And Xiaoyan, please worry about it."

Zhou Bingkun looked at him unhappily: "Brother, if you say this, you will tell me, Brother Yan, to stay away. Besides, I don't need you to tell me. Our father, you and my sister have not been at home these years, so my mother Isn’t it good? I know it even if you don’t tell me.”

"Yes, I always want to give you a few words of advice. Xiaoyan, don't mind me. I don't mean anything else."

Wang Yan nodded: "I understand very much. In fact, I didn't bother. Usually Bingkun and his wife are at home, and they don't come to me if anything happens. Don't look at it, they are all in Jichun, if I hadn't brought my wife and children back every week We only have food at home and we don’t see each other twice a year.”

"I'm afraid of disturbing your work. You are busy from morning to night all day, and it's important to treat diseases and save people. I can't cause trouble to you. If you delay for a while, you might delay someone's illness. What a sin. "

"It's not as evil as what you said. Life and death are determined by fate, and others can't delay it."

A few people joked for a while, and Zhou Bingyi suddenly said: "Bingkun, stay here with your sister-in-law for a while, and Xiaoyan and I will go for a stroll."

Zhou Bingkun frowned and nodded, looking at Hao Dongmei in confusion: "Sister Dongmei, what do you know? How can you hide this from me?"

Hao Dongmei shook her head hesitantly: "Who knows."

Of course she knew, after all, it was because of her. She had been hanging in a well before, in the middle of winter, and became ill and could not give birth to a child. She has also seen some doctors in the past few years. Her parents were rehabilitated before. In the past six months, she also went to some places to see her through connections, but nothing improved. I had heard that Wang Yan had successfully treated infertility before and was known as the number one miracle doctor in the Northeast. I happened to be home during the Chinese New Year and planned to let him have a look, but I haven't found the opportunity in the past two days. Open your mouth...

After listening to Zhou Bingyi's story, Wang Yan mused: "You should understand how to look at problems dialectically, and the same goes for diseases. So I dare not make a guarantee with you. I can only say that we will try our best to treat it. And this is a continuous and uninterrupted process. Now that you are all gone and you won’t come back for several years, there’s nothing I can do about it, Bingkun asked me, what should I say?”

"Tell him directly. I didn't want to hide it from him, but Dongmei was there, so I couldn't tell him."

"Okay, then I won't take her pulse. Let's wait and see when you come back. Don't be discouraged. You can also look for other doctors during this time. You might meet him."

Zhou Bingyi sighed: "Just let fate do everything you want. In fact, I can accept it without children. Now Bingkun has two, and there are people in the old Zhou family to carry on the family line. Even my mother's side, as you have seen in the past two days, she always It’s because I’m afraid she’ll be sad.”

"Let's take a look outside first, and then come find me when you come back." Wang Yan patted his arm: "Go back, the car will be pulling into the station soon."

Of course he knew what Hao Dongmei couldn't give birth to. In fact, he hadn't watched the entire episode. With his medical skills, he could tell the clues just by looking at the patient. Of course, he had seen so many people dying that he didn't realize it, so he blocked them and selectively ignored them, but he still paid close attention to those close to him.

In fact, he thought Zhou Bingyi should have told him two years ago, when he first became famous. What I didn't expect was that I was only talking about it now, but I was about to take the train and leave, and it couldn't be cured even if I tried.

In fact, whether they have children or not has little impact on Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei. Perhaps because of having a child, Zhou Bengyi would lose the points he had to win with his father-in-law by telling Zhou Zhigang that he was sick and not letting his father pick on Hao Dongmei's fault.

The two of them went back and chatted with Zhou Bingkun and Hao Dongmei for a few words. The green train came into the station with a clanging sound. After a long pause, Wang Wangyan and Zhou Bingkun waved to the train heading south, saying goodbye. I don’t know when it was...

On the way back, Zhou Bingkun still couldn't hold it in and asked, "Brother Yan, what did my brother say to you just now? What's the big deal, and you're hiding it from me?"

"I'm not hiding it from you, but I shouldn't tell it in front of Hao Dongmei. That's it..." Wang Yan retold the story and said, "Am I not the number one miracle doctor in the Northeast? There have been successful cases before, and my eldest brother is Ask me if you can cure it.”

"Then I didn't watch you take Sister Dongmei's pulse?"

"The condition changes from time to time, and now it can't be cured. What's the use of just taking her pulse?"

"That's right." Zhou Bingkun sighed: "How do you think we can get involved in this matter? But it's okay. Fortunately, we were rescued. It would be worse if we drowned. It's my parents' side. What to do? They keep urging my brother to have children.”

"Looking at how loving they are, I guess it's probably because your brother said there's something wrong with him that can't be cured, and you can't let your parents find fault with them."

"That's all I can say. But brother, to be honest, although Hao Dongmei and her parents didn't arrange a job, if they did, it would have to be at the provincial level. After all, they were at that level. Even if they didn't arrange a job, The relationship is there too. To put it bluntly, my brother can’t do anything just for his own future.”

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, but said nothing. This week I read more scriptures and have more ideas. For better or for worse, there is always maturity.

Seeing that his good brother was silent, Zhou Bingkun thought for a while and continued: "Of course you can't say that. After all, when my brother had a relationship with Hao Dongmei and got married, no one knew what Hao Dongmei's parents would be like in the future. That was a real revolution. Is it love? If my elder brother doesn’t tell me what’s behind this, none of us will know.”

"Well, you think very comprehensively and are making progress."

"It depends on what you said, brother, if I am still stupid, then I have been living in vain these past few years. People change, I think I am doing well now."

"You haven't gone far yet, are you satisfied with yourself?" Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Do you want to go to college?"

"Who wouldn't want to? My friend, whom you met before when I came to my house, was called Lu Chuan. His family members were martyrs, so he was recommended to go to the School of Political Science and Law in the capital. If you want to go to university, you have to be recommended by someone. There must be enough reasons, we don’t have that condition.”

Zhou Bingkun said: "And brother, do you know what my level is? You say I graduated from junior high school, but in fact I graduated from elementary school. I don't even know the words. You said you want me to go to college. Can I keep up with others? Then I will be persuaded Retirement or expulsion would be so embarrassing. Of course, I don’t want to lose face, but it’s just too shameful. It’s not the same as what happened to Zheng Juan.

To be more realistic, if I go to college, I will have no salary. Now I have two children at home, Zheng Juan, and my mother. If there is no salary, it would be embarrassing for a grown-up like me to rely solely on the money my dad earns. . And I'm not at home to take care of you. You're usually so busy and can't take care of you. How can it be okay if I'm not at home? So I’ll just keep working in the soy sauce factory, everyone can rest assured, and everyone will be fine. Don’t you have a way to send me to college, brother? "

"It's not that it can't work." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "It's just that I see that there have been some moves in the capital recently. There may be big changes in the next two years, and the college entrance examination may be resumed. If you don't find a way, I will give it to you If you take extra classes and study in a targeted manner, you will almost be able to pass the exam.”

"Forget it, brother, don't worry about me anymore. It's a waste of your time to find someone to work with you, and it's time to give me extra lessons. With that time, you can treat two more patients and save a few more lives. That's more than anything else. powerful."

Wang Yan pretended to be surprised: "Okay, Bingkun. With these two sentences, the situation has suddenly opened up."

"Then you see, our factory director wants to introduce me to the party."

"Bingkun, remember what I said before about reading your face, right?"

"Remember, you didn't say that I would be promising at the age of thirty. I am twenty-five this year, and there are still five years left. I am just waiting to see if you, the half-immortal king, can do it. Brother Zhe, it's time for me to get rich. ?”

"About that. I did the math again. You should be able to make a small amount of money before 80 years ago."

Zhou Bingkun was riding a bicycle carelessly: "How much is that small amount?"

"Tens of thousands."

"...Brother, when it comes to bragging, you have to be the one, how can several households worth ten thousand yuan become nothing more than pennies in your mouth?"

…

The two returned to Lao Zhou's house and were busy preparing the afternoon meal, talking and laughing, it was so lively. Shao Jingwen, the original editor-in-chief of the magazine, still came to the door and wanted to make an appointment with the famous poet Feng Huacheng. He also took Zhou Zhigang to the magazine and called Qian Province.

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhigang smiled and narrowed his eyes, because that was his son-in-law. When a person gets older, he looks forward to the future of his children. If his daughter marries well, he will be honored and it is understandable that he will be happy.

Wang Yan didn't stay long and left the child here to play with Zhou Jianhua. He took Chen Jing to his father-in-law's house and talked about dinner in the evening. My father-in-law gave me face and agreed without thinking.

However, although my father-in-law is the director of the department, he doesn't have much, and he has not yet been assigned a car. So the father-in-law and the mother-in-law rode a bicycle each, and took Chen Jing's younger brothers and sisters to visit Lao Zhou's house.

Zheng's mother and Zheng Guangming had already come here, and it was Zhou Bingkun who called them over. The main reason is that I know that Lao Zhou's family doesn't talk so much and it was Wang Yan who suggested it. In addition, Zhou Bingkun was too kind to refuse, so he agreed half-heartedly and helped out for a long time.

Zhou Zhigang was very happy and greeted them enthusiastically to eat food and drink. Wang Yan’s father-in-law is a good official who is also in power, and he is professional in handling things and speaking. Following Zhou Zhigang, the two talked about the third-line construction, expressed their gratitude for the death of the leader, and expressed their great spirit of patriotism, party love, family, and dedication. They had a great conversation. .

The next day, Zhou Zhigang talked to Li Suhua all morning. In the afternoon, Wang Yan followed Zhou Bingkun to the train station and put him on the southbound train. Likewise, if we want to meet again, it will take several years.

It was also on this day that I received a telegram from Zhou Rong, saying that he would come back in March, but he did not set a specific date.

After two days of excitement, everyone left. Li Suhua felt a little uncomfortable for a while, but there were still two grandsons making trouble, and Zhou Rong was coming back with the poet who was ten years older and his granddaughter, so it was not bad. Wang Yan saw that she was in good condition, and after eating another meal of leftovers, he started working on the new year's work.

As for the leftovers, there wasn't much left. He didn't miss any meal. Zhou Bingkun and the others could eat the rest for three to five days.

Zhou Bingkun found time to have a gathering with a group of his good friends. There was nothing new at their gathering, they just complained about the unsatisfactory life and how someone's family was doing. Zhou Bingkun was not happy to hear that. Wang Yan heard that he didn't want to take a woman with him anymore and was always annoying. But he was embarrassed to say it and wanted to be good to Xiao Guoqing and the others, so he just tolerated it. After this comparison, he felt more and more that Zheng Juan was good enough.

It's the end of February in a blink of an eye. After dinner and clearing away the kitchen utensils, the family is sitting on the kang talking.

Li Suhua's daily routine was holding her child in her arms, holding the photo sent by Zhou Rong and talking about it, looking forward to her daughter's return. Shao Jingwen still came to find Feng Huacheng, eager to get the manuscript and publish it in their special issue. Following Shao Jingwen, a knock on the door interrupted the family's warmth.

"Is it Zhou Bingkun's family?"

Zhou Bingkun who came out looked at the young man holding a little girl in front of him, nodded and said, "Yes, I am Zhou Bingkun, who are you?"

"I am Guo Cheng, and this is Yue Yue." Zhou Bingkun in front of him and the old lady behind him didn't understand. Guo Cheng quickly explained: "Feng Yue, the daughter of Teacher Zhou Rong."

Li Suhua took the photo and compared it and looked at it twice: "It's Yueyue, who are you?"

"I'm Guo Cheng."

"My dad's apprentice, right? I've been writing letters for him." Zhou Bingkun groaned, turned to explain to his mother, and then turned back to greet him: "Juan'er, come here quickly, take the child in, and find something for him. Something to eat and drink. Have you eaten? Can I make something for you?"

"No, no, no, I'm driving home. I'll be there soon, so I won't stay." Guo Cheng waved his hand and said, "I'm just sending the child over to you. Teacher Zhou Rong is busy and can't come for the time being."

Li Suhua asked anxiously: "What happened to Zhou Rong?"

At this time, Zheng Juan came out of the ground, and Guo Cheng handed the child to her and said, "Teacher Zhou and the others had something to do temporarily and couldn't get through it at the moment, so they asked me to bring the child back first."

"Didn't something happen?"

"No, no, it's just a matter of work in their unit. I'll be here after a while."

Seeing Guo Cheng's look, Zhou Bingkun knew something was wrong, and quickly coaxed his mother: "Yes, Mom, what's the big deal? I'll send a telegram tomorrow to ask. If it doesn't work, just make a phone call."

"Yes, yes, it's okay, Madam, you don't have to worry." Guo Cheng looked at Zhou Bingkun: "Well Bingkun, I have to catch the train. The things Teacher Zhou brought home, I can't carry with my child, they are all stored at the station. Come and get it with me quickly."

"That's right, Bingkun, go quickly and take Guo Cheng with you on your bicycle. Don't delay his car."

"OK."

Zhou Bingkun responded and quickly ran back to the house to put on his clothes and shoes. Seeing Zheng Juan taking care of the children, he didn't say much. He went out and got on the car and rushed to the train station with Guo Cheng on his back...
