Chapter 394: Separation Is the Norm
"Hey, in-laws, your family's life is pretty good. It's even richer than the Chinese New Year." Hao Jinlong entered the room and saw the dishes on the two tables above and below the kang. He turned to Zhou Zhigang, who was grinning from ear to ear. : "If you do this, I'm embarrassed to eat it. It's too expensive."
Wang Yan could clearly see that, although he didn't show it, he was a little unhappy. This is normal, it is still very difficult now, of course Hao Jinlong knows. Nowadays, 99% of the people in the country cannot compare to such a table of dishes. There is no doubt that the cadres of this era, especially those like Hao Jinlong who came from 25,000 miles away, are still aware of serving the country and the people. I just felt it was too extravagant, and furthermore, I felt that the old Zhou family was clinging to it.
"It doesn't cost anything. This is why our family has come back recently. It's hard to get together. I don't know when we can get together again after this time passes. Now our family celebrates the New Year every day." Zhou Zhigang said with a smile: "But today There are still two more dishes than usual. The in-laws are here. Whether they want to eat or not, we have to prepare. Sit down, sit down, and let’s sit down and talk.”
He didn't feel the meaning behind Hao's words, but there was indeed nothing wrong with what he said. The food has been really good in the past few days. There is a lot of fish and meat in the sky, but there really isn't much food that has been specially cured because of Hao Jinlong's arrival. There are only two dishes specially made after asking Hao Dongmei to know what they like to eat, and the other ones are based on their daily life these days. Tickets haven't been abolished yet, Wang Yan has plenty of them, and the money is not bad. Moreover, Zhou Bingkun was willing to spend money just to make his parents happy. Li Suhua gave all the bankbooks at home to Zheng Juan and asked her to take care of them these days and not be afraid of spending money.
"Okay, everyone, sit down, everyone, sit down." Hao Jinlong sat down with Zhou Zhigang, and then everyone sat down around the table.
Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji came with their secretary and driver. Of course, they couldn't let them go hungry. With the warm greetings of Lao Zhou's family and Hao Jinlong's approval, Chen Jing, Zheng Juan, Zhou Rong, and Zheng sat on the kang. The table where Guangming and his children ate.
As soon as he sat down, Hao Jinlong looked around at the people at the same table, then at the women and children on the kang, and said with a smile: "From what I can see, there are quite a lot of people. In-laws, your house is really lively." ah."
Zhou Zhigang laughed: "Hey, I was dizzy when I saw this big family when I came back. I didn't expect that after nine years, this family has tripled in size."
Hao Jinlong nodded and said, "It's good to have more people. It's popular and the family is strong."
Jin Yueji, who was sitting next to him, also nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's not like our family. We are the only ones who celebrate the holidays, so it's deserted. In the future, we will have more interactions, so we can enjoy the excitement."
Zhou Zhigang subconsciously wanted to say something about having more contact, but he rolled it around his mouth and swallowed it back. After all, it was good that he could come and see her, so there was no need for more contact. Li Suhua sat on the side and laughed. She was afraid that she would say the wrong thing.
Zhou Bingyi's words rang out at the right time: "Mom and Dad, let's not just sit and talk. Let's move the chopsticks and talk while eating."
"Yes, yes, eat and eat." Zhou Zhigang said with a smile: "My in-laws, you should eat more. My youngest son's wife is really good at cooking. Um...two bites?"
Secretary Huang, who was sitting by the kang, said quickly: "Uncle Zhou, you are not in good health. The doctor said you are not allowed to drink alcohol." He is a work secretary, but he is also a life secretary. He is responsible for everything inside and outside Hao Jinlong's house. Managed. Regardless of whether Hao Jinlong wanted to drink or not, he had to say this. Drinking it is Hao Jinlong giving face to his in-laws and flattering them. If you don’t drink it, you won’t be able to fault your health.
Hao Jinlong waved his hand: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way. It's okay to drink less. Besides, this is the first time we've met. I can't explain this good day without having a few sips, haha..."
"My in-laws, please don't be careless. Your body is not your own. It belongs to all the people of Jiangliao, and even more to the country." Zhou Zhigang said something with a serious face, and then looked at the man with a smile. Wang Yan, who was drinking, said to Hao Jinlong: "My dear, we have a doctor at home, and I just want him to check it out for you. If he says you can drink it, then you should drink less. If he says he can't, then you can take a sip." Don’t move, we don’t need those either, what do you think, in-laws?”
"Okay, I've heard about him a long time ago. People say that he is the number one miracle doctor in the Northeast. He has cured many difficult and complicated diseases, which is quite impressive. When we were in Gan Province, my mother-in-law asked The recipe Bingyi gave us is very useful. Dongmei’s mother and I are still drinking it. Thank you.”
"Yes, thank you Wang Yan, and thank you also, otherwise our old Hao's body would not be like this." Jin Yueji's thanks were mainly directed to Wang Yan, and her thanks obviously had a deeper meaning. It was because of Hao Dongmei's infertility, which Hao Jinlong didn't know yet.
She knew something about Wang Yan. After all, her daughter had to be investigated clearly when she was going to be treated, so she knew Wang Yan fairly well and knew that he was a smart man and understood what she meant.
Zhou Zhigang waved his hand: "It is the right thing for a family not to talk to each other. People are all sick when they get old, so you must pay attention. Xiaoyan, you give it to Dongmei's father, and by the way, you give it to Dongmei. Mom, take a look and give them a prescription to treat them."
Wang Yan nodded, stood up and walked around the table to Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji, asking them to breathe steadily, casually grabbing their arms to feel their pulses, asking for physical feedback, etc.
After some consultation, Wang Yan nodded and said, "Their health is actually not bad, but they both have high blood pressure, Dongmei's dad still has a bit of asthma, and there are other minor problems, but it's not a big problem. Drinking is nothing, 2 Three liang is fine, and drinking it occasionally is good for your health. You guys eat first, and I’ll prescribe you two prescriptions.”
"Okay, with you as a great doctor, everyone can rest assured." Hao Jinlong said, "Then drink two taels."
Zhou Zhigang called to his old son who kept grinning: "Bingkun, what are you doing standing there? Pour some wine."
"Hey, okay." Zhou Bingkun responded, quickly took the wine, opened it, poured wine for Hao Jinlong, Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Bingyi, Feng Huacheng, Wang Yan, and finally himself. At this time, Jin Yueji, Li Suhua and others also poured drinks.
"My in-laws, I respect you. Bingyi and Dongmei have been married for so many years and we just met each other. It's not our fault." Hao Jinlong raised his wine glass and spoke very beautifully.
Zhou Zhigang was so happy: "No need to say that, we are all real relatives. What happened to you a few years ago, and now you are so busy, it would be nice to have time to come over, I understand. Come, let's have a drink."
Hao Jinlong took a sip, and Zhou Zhigang drank half the glass...
After Wang Yan wrote two prescriptions, he handed them to Secretary Huang who was eating a big meal. After explaining a few words, he sat back at the dining table and ate and drank in peace.
He didn't overwhelm the guests, and there was no need for him to liven up the atmosphere at the dinner table, so he just sat there eating and drinking in silence, and didn't speak unless asked.
Of course it's not just him, almost everyone else is like this too. Although Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji smiled kindly, everyone present knew their identities and did not dare to talk nonsense. A dinner for family members to meet has basically become a people-friendly activity at the grassroots level under the leadership.
Talk to Zhou Zhigang about the third-line construction and briefly talk about the current situation in Jiangliao. Praise Li Suhua for raising the children well and they all have a bright future. Praise Zhou Bingkun for taking good care of his family, so that others can go to school and work with peace of mind. He praised Feng Huacheng as a good poet and should shoulder more of the important task of building a humanistic spirit in the country. He praised Wang Yan for his superb medical skills and saving countless lives. Praise Zheng Juan for her delicious cooking and being a good wife and mother.
Praising Zhou Rong as an independent woman in the new era, with culture and personality. Praise Chen Jing for being gentle, beautiful and a good wife. Praising Zheng Guangming for his good opportunity, he should study hard and bring light to more people. Praising a bunch of little boys for their good looks, they should study hard and build the motherland.
In addition, listening to Zhou Bingkun and others talk about the situation of the optical film, the meal was finished.
At the door of Zhou's house, Hao Jinlong held Zhou Zhigang's hand, which was shaking a little: "In-laws, thank you for your hospitality. I'm sorry to disturb you."
Zhou Zhigang, whose face was glowing, waved his hands: "This is what you should do. You walk slowly and be careful about your health. Bingkun, you lead the way on your bike and send them out."
After a few more pleasantries, Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji got into the car. The driver started the car and left with Zhou Bingkun who was riding a bicycle in front.
Watching them walk away, Zhou Zhigang let out his signature cheer: "Bingyi, Dongmei, you two should go too. It's so late and it's hard to go back."
Zhou Bingyi said worriedly: "Dad, you drank so much, are you okay?"
Zhou Zhigang waved his hand: "I'm just a little confused. I'll be fine if I go to sleep. Besides, Xiao Yan is here. He didn't say anything. What can happen?"
"I know you're happy. It's okay once in a while, but you can't drink like this in the future, uncle. If someone takes a sip, you'll get half a cup of it. You can still stand now because you have a good drinking capacity."
Zhou Zhigang drank more than a kilogram of wine, and his in-laws, who are also officials, came today. They were happy and in good condition, otherwise this old boy would have been lying there long ago.
"Xiaoyan, I'm telling you, I'm not bragging. I think I could drink two kilograms of wine when I was young. If you don't believe me, ask your aunt. She knows that my husband even drank under the table."
"This old guy can't handle himself after drinking too much. Hurry up and go back to the house." Li Suhua patted his wife angrily and said, "Bingyi, you and Dongmei should leave quickly. You don't have to work with us anymore."
"Okay, Mom, please keep an eye on my dad. He is old and drinks so much. Don't fall again when you wake up at night. Then Dongmei and I will leave first."
"Let's go, let's go, you don't need to drink too much. Slow down and ride hard." Li Suhua ordered, turned around and followed a group of people into the house, and saw his wife already lying on the kang, squinting: "Bingyi And talking about night, can you still get up like this?"
Zhou Rong, who was clearing the dishes with Zheng Juan, smiled and said, "Dad is also happy."
"Your dad has wanted to meet them for a long time, but he has never mentioned it. How can he not be happy if an official as big as Dongmei's parents can come to our house to sit for a while? Just watch, we will be at home tomorrow Someone is here, and when the time comes, this old guy will be grinning. "
After all, it was the person next to him who understood. Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "That's so normal, aunt, don't just talk about my uncle, I won't believe you don't smile."
Li Suhua chuckled: "Oh, can you stop laughing? He is a human being, and he likes to hear good things. Don't you look at the people outside wandering back and forth while eating? It will be lively tomorrow. Don't be busy, let Juan'er and the others Pack it up. You haven't had enough to drink, so hurry up and take Jing'er home. You have to go to work tomorrow morning, so you can't delay others' medical treatment."
"It's the same as leaving after cleaning up. It won't take more than a while."
…
After returning to their home in the provincial party committee compound, Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji sat on the sofa to rest. They nodded to Secretary Huang, who said goodbye and left after telling the nanny to boil medicine tomorrow. Jin Yueji smiled and looked at Hao Jinlong, who was leaning on the sofa next to him and resting his eyes: "Old Hao, what do you think of our in-laws?"
"I think they are good, they are all real."
"Yeah, I think they are also good, the whole family is very simple."
"Old Jin, their family conditions are not bad, much better than I imagined."
"There are capable people in the family. Wang Yan's medical skills are not fake. According to the habits of our Chinese people, it is understandable that they are richer." Jin Yueji nodded with a smile, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Old Hao, Wang Yan actually treated Dongmei."
"What disease Huh?"
"Infertility."
Hao Jinlong opened his eyes and sat up straight: "What's going on? Is it cured?"
"When Dongmei went to the countryside..." Jin Yueji spoke slowly and said: "Dongmei told me before that if it can't be cured, Bingyi said that he would tell our in-laws that it was his problem. This was Wang Yan's action. When Dongmei came back to college after the New Year, she was treated for three months. The hospital check-up said that there was no problem. Your attitude towards Bingyi these two days is a bit bad. I have been tense and didn't say anything. They are also trying hard. Dongmei is not young anymore. The more she gets older, the more dangerous it will be. You have to understand and be considerate. Bingyi is not easy either."
She saw that her husband had a good evaluation of the old Zhou family, and took this opportunity to tell her daughter's affairs, so that her husband would be nicer to her son-in-law. She always knew that Hao Dongmei had always been in a difficult situation. But they were also in a difficult situation, afraid of being involved. This time when they met the old Zhou family, they found that it was not as they imagined, and they had Wang Yan, so small troubles would never find them. Wang Yan's silence at the dinner table also showed his attitude, that's fine. Although the family background is indeed bad, otherwise she would have gone to meet her in-laws long ago, why wait until today.
It's just that it has come to this point. Now that I have met her and found her okay, I will accept her. What else can I do if I don't accept her?
Hao Jinlong let out a long breath, supported his knees and stood up, said "I know", and left with his hands behind his back.
Jin Yueji sighed, picked up a book and started reading...
The next day, Li Suhua was right. After breakfast, the old Zhou family became lively. It was all the neighbors who came to inquire about the situation and to build relationships. Of course, they knew that it was not easy to find Wang Yan before, let alone Hao Dongmei's father now. But they still couldn't help but go to socialize, after all, everything is just a matter of chance.
Zhou Zhigang grinned, laughing to his ears, happy from the bottom of his heart. This is vanity. His son married the daughter of a high-ranking official, and the other party came to their home in this shabby Guangzi district. There is no other family in Guangzi district, and they are very proud. He accepts flattery, but if there is no one who takes the opportunity to ask for help, he will just say two words, get out. Just listening to the free praise, he got drunk again in the evening and was scolded by Li Suhua.
Zhou Bingyi was even happier that his father was so happy, after all, he was proud of him. And after meeting his in-laws this time, he felt that the atmosphere was much better and more harmonious when he lived in his father-in-law's house. He was very grateful to Hao Dongmei for her understanding, and the way to repay her was of course to step on the accelerator and work hard, and work harder for the next generation.
As for other people, there was nothing, it was still the same, doing what they should do. It was just that Zhou Bingkun felt a little uncomfortable watching himself happily drinking his own father. After all, they were all children, and he also wanted his parents to be proud of him.
On Wednesday, Zhou Zhigang left his hometown with a smile, boarded the train heading south, and continued to contribute to the construction of the motherland. This trip home was perfect, although there was some sadness of parting, but in his past life, this was the norm, and reunion was accidental, so of course he had to smile.
It was also on this day that Cai Xiaoguang came to visit the old Zhou family with some specialties from Beijing. He was a man who knew how to behave, and came to thank Zhou Bingkun for his help and maintain such a relationship.
Originally, Cai Xiaoguang met Zhou Bingyi and his friends at the station when they left. It can be seen that Zhou Bingyi and his friends didn't stay at home for many days. Then here we have to talk about Zhou Rong, she just came back and shed a few tears in front of Li Suhua, who was paralyzed on the kang, and turned around to happily take Feng Yue out to enjoy parent-child time...
On Sunday, Zhou Bingyi and his friends, as well as Chen Jing, and of course Feng Yue, who shouldn't have left, also took the train to Beijing. Feng Yue still didn't want to leave, and she cried so hard. Zhou Rong couldn't stand it and wanted to leave her daughter behind, but Feng Huacheng took her on the train despite his heartache.
Feng Yue's departure made the family uneasy. The friends who had played together for several years left. Zhou Jianhua, Zhou Jianbang, and Wang Jianye, the three brothers gathered together and made a fuss.
Children don't understand parting, and the world of children can't hold much. Their sadness lasted only two days, and then they had to eat and drink. Although they occasionally mentioned it, the frequency of mentioning it was destined to become less and less. Until they grew up, when they met again, they were speechless.
They may remember the laughter and joy of their childhood, but when they meet again, they will find that the other party is no longer that snotty girl, not that crybaby, not that follower, not that him/her. Perhaps it was at that time that they first felt time and understood what "growing up" meant for the first time.
So too, the original Zhou Nan, now Zhou Jianhua, and Feng Yue's messy things are over. After all, they didn't get along with each other day and night since childhood, and there was such a long gap in between. They will have other friends and different experiences, and they will be speechless when they meet again.
Of course, it's not just the children who are sad. Li Suhua, who is used to separation, is also unhappy. The house that was originally full of people suddenly became empty, and it's unknown when it will be full again. Although she is used to it, she also needs to slow down.
After they all left, Wang Yan took the child to live in the old Zhou's house again. He ate hot meals every day and didn't have to worry about anything. It was good. The main problem was the child. He was only four years old and didn't like to stay in the hospital with him. After all, there was a younger Zhou Jianbang to play with at the old Zhou's house, and there were other children in Guangzi Pian, so he had company. He was too lazy to pick him up at night, so he just lived here to save trouble.
That day, after eating hand-rolled noodles with eggplant and meat sauce for dinner, Wang Yan, as usual, held a cigarette in his mouth and carried two buckets in one hand, and walked out with Zhou Bingkun who was carrying a trash can beside him.
"Brother, didn't you say before that after the reunion, it would be my time to make a fortune?"
"Didn't I say later that there were risks? What, have you figured it out after thinking about it for several months? Are you not afraid anymore?"
"Afraid, how can I not be afraid." Zhou Bingkun smiled and said, "But brother, I know you can't lie to me, let alone harm me, I believe you. For so many years, whatever you say is what you mean, and it has never been wrong. And you saw my dad like that this time, and I also want to do something to make him happy."
"That's enough, after all, you are skirting the line, to be honest, it is illegal, your dad has a temper, it would be strange if he can be happy. Your dad, you It's not like I don't know, old thinking."
"You said that the country will definitely change, and you let me do it, which means that the future is bright. Brother, can you think of a way to keep my soy sauce factory? I don't want money. Just in case it doesn't work out, I have a way out. Originally, I would ask Mrs. Qu for this matter, and she would do it with just one word. But the old lady has a temper and is stubborn. If I don't tell her the truth, she won't help me. Then I have to tell the truth, and if it doesn't work out, she will send me to jail."
"Well, not bad, you have a quick mind and can do research, and you think comprehensively." Wang Yan nodded. "As for keeping the position and suspending her from work without pay, I can do it, but she is the old secretary of the soy sauce factory. Didn't you say that she would go out for a walk when she has nothing to do? How can she not pay attention to you, her lifesaver? You still can't escape."
"Then what can I do?"
"Then what can I do? I'll do it for you first. If she asks you in the future, you can say that I asked you to do it, and then tell her what I told you again. She is a senior cadre, and Ma Shouchang is from the provincial party committee. If there is any sign, she will definitely know it first. It's right that she insists on her own opinion, but at a certain time and with a certain method, she will definitely know it. Bai, how else can she be an official? She is better than you in terms of flexibility. If you can't convince her, let her come to me, and I will talk to her then. "
"Okay, brother, when should I start?"
"I will tell you how to do it later. I will handle the unpaid leave for you tomorrow, and then get you a letter of introduction. You can go directly the day after tomorrow."
"What about my mother?"
"You have fooled her enough in these years?" Wang Yan slapped him: "Of course she is on a business trip..."
