Chapter 392 I Feel Sorry for You Too
When there are many people, the family eats and drinks slowly. The family talked and laughed. After dinner, they cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. A group of people crowded into the east room of the old Zhou family and chatted for a while. It was already six o'clock.
Zhou Bingyi, who had drunk a lot and was a little confused, said: "Dad, Mom, Bingkun, I will stay at Dongmei's house tonight."
Zhou Zhigang was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, it's getting late, you should leave quickly. Don't forget to take the specialties you bought. I also brought back two pieces of bacon. You can take it back for Dongmei's parents to taste."
Hao Dongmei smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Dad."
Zhou Bingyi got up quickly and shook his head: "Bingkun, I will ride your bike and bring it back to you before you go to work tomorrow morning."
"No need, big brother, you guys were exhausted yesterday, go back and have a good rest. Juan'er also has a bicycle, I will ride that tomorrow."
"Okay, then we'll go, Dad, Mom." Zhou Bingyi nodded to the group of people in the room.
Zhou Zhigang nodded, turned to look at Wang Yan: "Xiaoyan, you and Chen Jing should go back too. It's getting late. Have a good rest. Tomorrow you have to visit her parents. You can also take two pieces of bacon for her parents to try. Things from the south are not easy to buy here."
He spent a lot of money this time and brought back a lot of things. He had prepared them long ago.
"Okay, uncle, aunt, we are leaving too. We will come back the day after tomorrow."
Li Suhua waved her hand and said: "Go, go. You drank a lot at night. You are with your wife and children. Ride slowly."
"Got it."
Wang Yan responded, waved his hand, packed his things, and asked Wang Jianye, who was reluctant to leave, to get on the car and leave. Tomorrow he has to go to his father-in-law's house. Otherwise, if the child doesn't want to leave, he won't say anything. After all, he grew up in this old Zhou family.
Now in seven or eight years, the streets of Guangzi Pian have narrowed into alleys. The main reason is that Zhou Bingkun and his generation have grown up, married and started families, and their generation has many family members. The old houses cannot accommodate them, and the units only allocate housing to a small number of people, so they cannot afford to buy them, so they can only build privately. More people means more chaos, and more people means chaos. It is no longer the Guangzi Pian of the past.
Wang Yan's family of three, along with Zhou Bingyi and his wife, slowly walked out of Guangzi Pian. They will be on the same road for a while.
"Thank you, Xiaoyan."
"Here you go again. Let's not talk about our relationship. Even if we don't have one, other people can go to the hospital to see a doctor and get treated. Besides, it's not clear what's going on right now, so you two have to work hard."
Looking at Hao Dongmei, who was a little shy, Zhou Bingyi shook his head and smiled: "How are you recently?"
"It's still the same. What new can I have? I go to work to see a doctor, and after get off work I think about how to solve the incurable disease. It's very boring. But you are all college students. You spend all day pointing out the world and writing inspiring words. That's a good life."
Wang Yan strolled and chatted with Zhou Bingyi all the way, and then parted ways. Wang Yan rode a bicycle with the child sitting on the beam and his wife on the back seat. He listened to her chattering and went home leisurely...
Of course, he didn't hide the fact that he bought a house for Chen Jing from the Zhou family. She occasionally lived in the school dormitory and discussed things with her roommates on a daily basis. Occasionally, she would live in the house for a while and cook some delicious food to improve the food.
She often visited Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong. After all, they were from the same school, and she and Zhou Rong were classmates in the same class, so they couldn't be far away. Sometimes when she talked about getting together, she would bring them to the house. After all, the place was spacious and more comfortable than Zhou Rong's home. Because there was a phone and it was not far away, sometimes they would come here to make calls. However, she didn't say anything about the other house in the second ring, and these people didn't know. It's not that she hid it, but they didn't ask, so there was no need to say it, and it was like she wanted to show off, which was meaningless.
It was also this house in Beijing, which had a separate telephone line, that made Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Rong, and Feng Huacheng realize a small part of Wang Yan's current strength. After all, they only knew that he was powerful, knew many people, and could bring some messy things home when they had nothing to do. But those didn't have a real value and were hard to measure. Now, a house in Beijing costs several thousand yuan, and people buy it without blinking an eye. With the current average monthly income of 40 to 50 yuan, it is an unattainable figure.
So now Zhou Bingyi is more polite to him. It's not that he doesn't want to be like his family, but there is no emotional foundation, so he really can't do it.
Of course, there are also malicious speculations about Wang's professional ethics. After all, he is a doctor. How can he take out several thousand yuan after only five years of work? This is indeed a question worth pondering and a reasonable suspicion.
But of course they won't ask about such things, and Wang Yan will certainly not explain to them. Only Li Suhua saw that he spent money lavishly and told him not to make money against his conscience. And Zhou Bingkun, through the words between the lines of his good brother's encouragement, knew that there might be some minor problems with his origin, but he didn't dig deep into the root of the matter.
After five people left, the house suddenly became much quieter. Of course, it wasn't too quiet, after all, there were still ten people left, and there were three energetic and crying children.
Zhou Zhigang groaned, "Alright, although it's not dark yet, we're all tired, let's stop making a fuss and lie down on the kang early to take a nap."
Zheng Juan, who had been silent, said, "Sister, brother-in-law, the west room is ready, you can take Yueyue to sleep in the west room tonight."
Zhou Rong nodded: "Okay, please Juan'er."
Feng Yue, who had just come in, quit: "No, aunt, I want to sleep with you and uncle."
"How come you kid..."
"How old is she? You've only been together for a few days? Why compete with a child?" Li Suhua glared at her daughter unhappily, turned to look at the little girl who was about to cry, and said softly: "Yueyue, they It’s your parents. How can a child not sleep with his parents? Be obedient.”
"Then I didn't sleep with them before? Why do I want to sleep with them now?"
Feng Huacheng smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. The child is still a little bit naive. Bingkun and Zheng Juan, just sleep with you. It'll be fine if we spend more time together these days."
"Okay, let's go next door to save the children from disturbing you. Let's go." Zhou Bingkun got up and drove the children, leaving with Zheng Guangming and Zheng Juan.
Everyone had left. In the east room, the half-opened window let in the cool summer evening breeze, which made people feel comfortable physically and mentally. Zhou Zhigang closed his eyes in contentment and enjoyed the peace.
Li Suhua turned around and glanced, sighing: "I was originally thinking that we all would sleep here together, have a lively chat, and who knows, we've all dispersed."
It would be great if we all lie on the kang together and talk to each other.
"The children are grown up and we haven't seen each other for a long time. Do they also want to be affectionate and affectionate? As a mother, you have to understand."
"Put it down. When Bingyi said he was leaving just now, I looked at Dongmei and gave him a look. We haven't seen him for a long time. As a mother, of course I understand. But you said that they were in the army in 1973? They have been married for more than five years now. They are both thirty-two years old. How come they haven’t had a child in all these years?”
Zhou Zhigang sighed: "They must have their own plans regarding the children. Now that we are living in different places and both are in school, how can we have time..."
"Do you think Dongmei doesn't want children?"
"Then who knows, it's their business whether to give birth or not, so let's not worry about it. If Bingkun can give birth, there are already two. Bingyi, I don't think there is any rush."
"I don't know what Dongmei's parents said. How can any old person not want to have a grandchild? Isn't Dongmei's mother retired? Then Dongmei's father is such a big official. How busy is he in a day? She is the only one. At home, you didn’t think about having a grandson?”
"Then he's not in good health. Maybe he wants to be pure." Zhou Zhigang said: "Bingyi is actually not easy. You said the conditions of Dongmei's family, how can he be comfortable? This is a test. Going to the best university like Beijing University proves that he is relatively good and has a bright future. Otherwise, Dongmei's parents... What I want to say today is to meet our in-laws who are high-ranking officials. What do you think? It’s been so many years, and it’s not good if we don’t see each other. But I didn’t say it out loud. It’s one thing for us to think about it. It’s another thing for them to have time if they are so busy. Whether they want to see us is another matter. , We can’t let Bingyi be in trouble.”
"Xiaoyan said, I owe nothing, and friendship is more important than anything else. You don't know, in March, not long after Beijing University started school, that Cai Xiaoguang came to look for Bingkun to do something... Xiaoyan didn't say anything. , it will be done the next day. If Cai Xiaoguang asks Zhou Rong to ask for Bingyi, then Dongmei and her parents may not be able to choose."
"Well, this is the right thing to do. If Xiaoyan can handle it, just do it. If you can't handle it, don't go to Bingyi. Okay, Suhua, you really understand."
"That's right, I'm not stupid and can't cause trouble to Bingyi."
The old couple laughed for a while, and Li Suhua suddenly sighed: "You said that you were thinking about Yueyue being picked up, and I feel bad about it."
"What can we do? The child has to live with his parents. Bingkun and the others are right. It would be okay if the child is sent back a few years older. But now, what if we raise the child from two or three years old to over five years old? You can do it. You also saw it at night. Yueyue looked at Zhou Rong and Hua Cheng as if they were strangers. As time went by, when the child became sensible, she knew that her parents could not have feelings if they just gave birth to children. ”
"I know, but I just can't bear it." Li Suhua uttered an ouch and whispered: "Today I finally understand. You said that Feng Huacheng's reputation is of no use no matter how famous he is. He can't put it into practice. It's difficult to divide houses. Why is it so difficult? It’s because of his false reputation. When Xiaoyan first went to the First Hospital of the City, he was given a good apartment on the third floor within two months. Wasn’t it because of his ability to treat diseases? "
"Okay, it's not easy. There are so many people in this world, how many of them can compare with Xiao Yan? It would be great if they can have a place to stay in that part of the capital. It will be fine in the future." Zhou Zhigang turned his head Stroking his wife's white hair: "You also said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. They are already better off than most people, so let them be."
Li Suhua shook his head: "If you don't let them go, what else can you do? We are all old..."
"Yes, your white hair has gotten better."
The old couple here are chattering incessantly. In the west room next door, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng are lying on the bed in the west room, covered with a thin quilt full of sunshine that the old mother carefully prepared, talking about what they have been holding back for a long time. .
"It's easy for you to say. If you really take Yueyue over, what should we do?"
Feng Huacheng snorted: "Whatever you did before, you will do in the future. Dad is right. Why didn't there be so many things when we lived in the cave before? Let's not talk about the far ones, let's talk about the nearby ones. The man with our surname Jiang Aren't they a couple raising children? Speaking of which, our living conditions are better than before. It's good to live with Yue Yue.
I used to think about taking over, but you told me to wait and prepare to take the college entrance examination. When I got to college, I said I would divide the houses equally. If the house is not divided for a day, we will not take our daughter with us for a day? Bingkun is right, maybe in the end it will just become a child but not a child, so how can there be any family affection? Just like if you want to talk about Yue Yue today, in her eyes, you are a stranger called "Mom". Talking about her will only make the child more annoying. "
Zhou Rong drooped her face: "Okay, I won't talk about the inconvenience in life. It's no problem for the children to live together in the past. Then I go to school and you go to work, who will take care of her? There are also living expenses. I don't have a job now, so just How can you survive on your small salary? "Have you ever thought about this?"
"Aren't you going to preschool soon? I'll go to Beijing to do this later so that we won't be delayed. As for my salary, although it's not much, it's enough to support the three of us.
What you said is a problem, but it can be overcome. What we should consider now is that Yueyue is not close to us and is a stranger to us. When she grows up, she will no longer be our daughter. You and I are not qualified to act like parents to Yueyue like you do today. I believe that if you had to leave your child here, your father, mother, and Bingkun would not say anything and would be very willing to do so. And to be honest, the conditions here are indeed better than our home.
But if you want this daughter, you must take her away this time, do you understand? Zhou Rong, I don’t understand. We lived a very happy life despite all the hardships in the past. Why are the conditions now so much better than those then, but you are like this now? "
Zhou Rong let out a sigh of relief, why is she like this now? Because she is different. She is no longer the village teacher who earned 18 yuan a month in Shangouzi. She is a top student of Peking University with a bright future and a pillar talent of the country. Her living space, both mentally and physically, should be above a certain level. It's not that she doesn't want to raise her own child, it's just that having a child now is a drag.
Of course she couldn't say this, and she ignored it. She turned over and lay in Feng Huacheng's arms. She said, "It's not me, Huacheng, it's because times have progressed. It doesn't matter if Yueyue takes over, to be honest, today I’m really sad. It cost me half my life to give birth to this baby after ten months of pregnancy. How can it not hurt? It’s just that I have an extra mouth, and I don’t make any money. The pressure is on you, and I feel sorry for you.”
"I'm fine. For you and Yue Yue, I'm willing to work no matter how hard it is." Feng Huacheng happily hugged his beloved wife and sighed: "When I return to the capital this time, I will definitely work hard to try to divide the room as soon as possible. Move to a big house as soon as possible and establish yourself in the capital."
Zhou Rong hummed, finally deciding to take Feng Yue back. She changed the topic to her parents, relatives, and the changes in her hometown. She hadn't been back in nine years...
"Dad, Mom, we are back. Do you want to eat at this hour? Did Dad just come back?"
In the courtyard of the Jichun Provincial Party Committee, in a tall three-story building, Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi happily entered the room and saw Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji sitting at a long table eating.
Hao Jinlong held the bowl and nodded with a smile: "Bingyi is back."
"I'm back, Dad, Mom." Zhou Bingyi stood still and leaned slightly: "Oh, by the way, Mom and Dad, this is the bacon my dad brought back from Bashu. He asked me to bring it to you. Taste it.”
"Your dad is interested, Aunt Xia, come and take down this bacon and make it tomorrow." Jin Yueji nodded and asked the nanny at home to pick up the things. At this time, Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi also came to the dinner table: "Oh, this one The smell of alcohol, please wash it off in a while.”
Zhou Bingyi nodded and smiled awkwardly, and Hao Dongmei said: "It has been nine years since 1969, and now the whole family has gathered together. Are you happy? They all drank a lot. Dad, Mom, you didn't watch. Then Bingkun and Wang Yan is better at drinking, so the two of them should keep it in check, otherwise Bingyi would have to drink under the table today."
Jin Yueji pretended to be serious: "You can't drink like that in the future. Your health comes first."
"Yes, she is right, health is the most important thing." Hao Jinlong took a bite of food and looked at his son-in-law: "How about it? Your parents are in good health, right?"
Zhou Bingyi nodded: "There is a doctor at home, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He is very good at treating me. I haven't even caught a cold in so many years."
"I know Wang Yan. He is the number one miracle doctor in the Northeast. He has such a great reputation. We occasionally drink the prescription you gave us before. It's really good."
Jin Yueji smiled and said: "Yes, his medical skills are still very good. I heard from Xiaoqu that they had gone to see him before and said that the treatment was very good."
Zhou Bingyi also smiled: "His strength is obvious to all. My sister-in-law's natal brother has bad eyesight and cannot see. Xiaoyan was treated for two years, and he was cured. No wonder it spread to God. Dad, Mom, Later, when you all have time, I will ask him to come over and recuperate you two. It has not been easy for you over the past few years, and you must have some hidden injuries. In this regard, we have to use the things from our ancestors. "
The old couple smiled and nodded, saying that they were interested. Jin Yueji sighed and said, "Now that we have spoken, how about you two eating some more? I'll ask Aunt Xia to add another dish."
"No, Mom, we didn't finish until after five o'clock. There were fifteen of us, so we cooked two large tables, with chicken, duck, fish and meat. And the bacon was especially delicious, so fragrant."
Jin Yueji asked: "How is life at Jingcheng University?"
"Not bad, every day is very fulfilling. What's interesting is our dormitory, the oldest is thirty-six, the youngest is eighteen, almost two generations, and many of them have children."
Hao Dongmei continued: "His sister said that when he was in school, he was only focused on reading the books of saints, twenty-four hours a day, eighteen hours Study, sleep for six hours, and eat with books. "
"Okay, the most important thing is to learn knowledge well, and do what you do wherever you are." Hao Jinlong quickly ate the rice, ate it in a few mouthfuls, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said: "Okay, I'm done, Bingyi has been on the train all night, and drank so much wine today, let's rest early with Dongmei. Didn't you say that you will have a holiday for half a month? It's not too late to talk later."
His attitude is still good. He didn't bother him because of Cai Xiaoguang's matter. Zhou Bingyi didn't do things for other people in the past six months. He didn't have any opinions about Zhou Bingyi and felt good.
Watching Hao Jinlong leave, Hao Dongmei pushed the man beside her: "Bingyi, you go upstairs and wash up first, I'll talk to mom for a while."
"Ah, okay, this body smells of alcohol and sweats a lot, it's really uncomfortable. Then you eat slowly, mom, I'll go upstairs first." Zhou Bingyi nodded and stood up. Listening to Hao Dongmei's instructions, he went upstairs to find the room and started to wash up.
Jin Yueji smiled at her daughter sitting opposite her: "What's the matter, tell me."
Hao Dongmei laughed: "Mom, you see, Bingyi's family is reunited this time, and they are all at home. Bingyi and I have been married for five years. Should you and my dad meet the in-laws?"
"We should meet them. It's not good not to meet them after so many years. Your dad probably won't say anything. And that Wang Yan worked hard for several months to cure your illness. I also want to express my gratitude to him. It's just that your dad is too busy. His schedule is very full every day. I don't know when he will have time." Jin Yueji He pondered and said, "Well, I'll discuss it with your dad later to see his attitude. If he agrees, I'll talk to the secretary later. What do you think?"
"Of course I agree." Hao Dongmei stood up and ran to sit next to her mother: "Thank you, mom."
"Okay, Bingyi finally came back, you hurry up, hurry up, I'm still waiting for my grandson."
"Oh, mom..."
"Go quickly, go quickly, waiting for your good news..."
