Chapter 396: Secular

Zhou Bingkun was very happy after making money. Zheng Juan was of course happy, but not happy either. After all, she was taking risks to make money, and she hadn't seen her for more than a month, but she was still happy anyway.

Both of them were happy, and Li Suhua was also happy, because Zheng Juan was pregnant again. It was in January 1979 that Zhou Bingkun learned about it when he was out again.

Zheng Juan had already given birth to two children, and she knew it herself. Even though Li Suhua kept talking about it all day long, she did not delay her work.

On the other side, Hao Dongmei was really very careful, wandering around the courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee. When I go out, I take a car to Lao Zhou's house every now and then to let Wang Yan take a look, and also meet Li Suhua, my mother-in-law.

The child in her belly was considered stable. After all, her family's conditions were so good that Jin Yueji specially found another nanny to take care of her. Coupled with the fact that you are careful and take good care of yourself, it is really difficult to come up with accidents.

Li Suhua felt a little uncomfortable because she was already thinking about the future. Hao Dongmei was pregnant. She actually wanted to take care of her, but she was not needed. If she has a baby in the future, she will definitely not be needed for confinement. Even if the threshold is so high, she doesn't know whether she should go.

Thinking back again, since I left in 1969, I only stayed at home for two nights in 1976. Then I never stayed at home. During the reunion, I didn't stay at home for half a month. Her son couldn't help her mother, and she really left him, and she couldn't feel comfortable in her heart.

By January, the Chinese New Year is not far away. Because there had been a reunion before, Zhou Zhigang, who was far away in the mountain city, would not come back. Zhou Bingyi, who is studying in the capital and not so far away, must come back. After all, Hao Dongmei is pregnant. However, Zhou Rong called back early and said that she would not be coming back this year because of Feng Huacheng's work.

Li Suhua felt better this time. After all, they had just reunited and they only talked about it for a few days.

It was the morning of Xiaonian when Zhou Bingkun came back. He had been on the phone earlier, so Wang Yan went to the station to pick him up.

Carrying large and small packages, Zhou Bingkun squeezed his way out of the crowd. After seeing Wang Yan, he quickly walked over and put the things down: "Brother, please wait a moment. I can't take it all in one trip. There are still some inside."

After taking another load of things and coming back, Zhou Bingkun gasped tiredly and waved his hands: "Take a rest, take a rest before leaving, I can't move anymore."

Wang Yan took out a cigarette and gave him a cigarette. The two of them stood at the door of the train station and puffed away: "What are these?"

"It's not the New Year. I bought toys for the children, as well as tobacco, alcohol and specialties. I also bought clothes and shoes for my mother, Juan'er, and your sister-in-law and a bunch of kids. Coming from Hong Kong Island, it’s old fashion.”

Wang Yan shook his head helplessly: "Everyone wears single clothes over there. We are here in the cold winter, and it's still cold to wear a big cotton-padded jacket and two cotton trousers. When the weather warms up and you can wear it, then when will you go? By then, I guess, These are not fashionable anymore.”

"No, it's better than what we have. Besides, it's not expensive to buy it when the time comes." Zhou Bingkun said, "Brother, you don't know. After the meeting above, when I came back, It's a little different over there, but I can't tell you exactly why. Anyway, the people there are very happy, saying that good times are coming, especially some colleagues I know are going crazy this time. , they shipped tens of thousands of goods to the north.”

"Did you follow suit?"

"No, before you left, didn't you tell me not to make it too big? I just bought more than 7,000 goods." Zhou Bingkun said with lingering fear: "And one of those colleagues was caught. I don't know what happened. When I was passing through Yu Province, I almost got caught, thanks to my cleverness. "

"Okay, this time you just spend the winter at home, and wait until after the new year to inquire about the situation. It's also good to stay at home with Zheng Juan, she misses you every day, but is too embarrassed to ask me. Now this happens again , if something happens, it’s my fault.”

"Isn't this Sister Dongmei pregnant? Last time I heard my mother talking about whether she wanted a grandson or a granddaughter. I was happy when I made money before the addition, and I wasn't afraid that I couldn't afford it, so I wanted another one. If it is a granddaughter, my mother You can also be happy and say a few words about Yueyue. Are they all back? "

Zhou Bingkun was not stupid. Even without Wang Yan's explanation, he knew that he should not go to the capital to meet Zhou Bingyi and the others. The main reason is that if I ask, it's hard to tell him. When the news comes to Zhou Zhigang, it will be another problem. So until now, no one in Lao Zhou's family knows what he does except Zheng Juan, the person beside him.

"No, it's twenty-seven or eight. Your second sister and his family won't be coming back this year. It's because of Feng Huacheng's work."

"Isn't he the librarian? Isn't it different from the job my sister-in-law did before? If he has nothing to do all day long, what kind of job does he have?"

"Isn't he the deputy director of the library? He is a cadre after all. And he also has to do creative work. That thing requires inspiration. Who knows what happened to him." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it. Mie: "Let's go, we're waiting for dinner at home, don't wait any longer."

"How should we go back?"

"Let's take the bus."

"I figured you'd have to bring the whole car over to pick me up."

"Oh, okay, Bingkun, this has become a household with ten thousand yuan, and everyone has come forward."

The two returned home chatting and laughing, where Li Suhua's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy making lunch. There are eight people eating, and there are three picky little kids. It's still a young year, so the food is quite rich.

When Zhou Bingkun came back, Zheng Juan just smiled and nodded, and a gentle "I'm back" expressed endless longing and happiness. Li Suhua complained with a smile, why he was on business trips for the past six months. Zheng Guangming was still the same, smiling so brightly. The children were clamoring for things, new clothes, new toys, delicious food, and it was very lively...

A few days later, on the morning of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Jing and Zhou Bingyi took the train back to Jichun. Wang Yan did not go to the station to pick them up, but asked Zhou Bingkun to take Wang Jianye there. After Chen Jing and Zhou Bingyi had lunch at Lao Zhou's house, they took the children back to the family building of the hospital to rest and get close. After Zhou Bingyi had lunch, he ran to his father-in-law's house to find his wife.

"Oh, it's another year."

At night, everyone was eating a sumptuous dinner. Li Suhua sighed and looked at Zhou Bingyi and said, "Bingyi, are you and Dongmei staying at home at night?"

Then Zhou Bingyi handed over the bowl of rice and shook his head and said, "No, Mom, Dongmei's body is not convenient now. And the temperature in their home is different from ours. After she gets used to living in her home, I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt and catch a cold when she comes to our home, which is not good for the baby in her belly."

"That needs to be paid attention to." Li Suhua nodded and said, "So, on the 30th, you can take Dongmei to have lunch at home. Don't come over at night, spend it at Dongmei's house, and save Dongmei's parents from being lonely."

Hao Dongmei waved her hand quickly, "Mom, it's okay, it's the New Year, how can we not eat dumplings together? . "

"There is no such saying. You are not feeling well now, so why bother? It doesn't matter where you eat, so let's just leave it at that."

"Mom is thoughtful. Okay, we won't come on the night of the 30th." Zhou Bingyi nodded with a smile, raised his glass to signal Wang Yan and Zhou Bingkun, took a sip of wine, looked at the cigarettes on the table and asked, "Hey, Bingkun, I forgot to ask you during the day, when did you learn to smoke?"

"I have to socialize, eat and drink, how can I not smoke? Besides, you know, my dad has been smoking for decades, and Brother Yan also smokes every day, so I just wanted to try it out, so I started smoking."

"You should smoke less, it's not good for your health."

Zhou Bingkun shook his head and smiled, "You have to tell my brother Yan about this, he is a Chinese medicine doctor, he is the best at keeping healthy, so he also smokes every day. ”

Wang Yan said with a smile: "I am bored, I smoke a few times when I am free, but I don't smoke a pack a day like you. Besides, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my body is strong. You should smoke less, it does affect your health."

"Then my dad has been smoking for decades, isn't it good?" Zhou Bingkun said: "Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, don't smoke or drink, then live a hundred years? This thing depends on fate. If you have a strong fate, nothing will happen. If you don't have a strong fate, nothing will happen. You will die when you are supposed to die."

"This kid, shut up quickly. It's the New Year, what are you talking about?" Li Suhua hit him angrily, and then asked: "Bingyi, how are Zhou Rong and her family? So busy? Don't you have time to stay at home for two days?"

"Mom, Zhou Rong is fine. Yueyue also goes to school there , and got full marks in the final exam of the preschool class. It is true that he was very busy when he didn't come back. Huacheng has been busy with the distribution of houses recently, and he also has to write articles and find inspiration to compose poems. Zhou Rong has classes during the day and comes back to take care of the children at night. She is not relaxed either. "

Zhou Bingyi shook his head and smiled: "But Yueyue was right to pick up the child this time. When Yueyue first went there, she made a fuss for several days and didn't call her dad or mom. She also said that she would find the police to arrest Zhou Rong and the others. It took a long time to get better. She slowly adapted and became like a normal parent and child. If it was two years later, it would be really hard to recognize her. "

Zhou Bingkun hummed: "Then my sister and her family may have considered this aspect for not coming back. It's not easy to get along with each other. It's troublesome if they think of the previous things after going home to play for two days. Okay, mom, my sister is fine, don't worry about her, and eat quickly. ”

This matter is over. They talked about their life on the university campus, the children in Zheng Juan and Hao Dongmei's belly, and told Zhou Bingyi, who is about to become a father, about his childhood. Then they talked about the three little kids on the table, and imagined the future. Although this is not a reunion year, the hope of having a new baby is another good year.

After dinner, a driver came to pick up Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei on time. Wang Yan's family did not stay because tomorrow is the 29th, the last day before the New Year, and Chen Jing has just returned, so they have to take some things to see.

Back home, coaxed the child to sleep, and the long-lost couple played some intimate games. It was late at night.

In the dark, Wang Yan hugged the confused Chen Jing: "When Brother Bingyi talked about Zhou Rong tonight, it seems that he didn't tell the truth."

"Your eyes are quite sharp. If I didn't know the truth, I really couldn't tell that what he said was wrong. "Chen Jing muttered weakly: "After returning this time, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng were fine at first, and the three of them were very happy. After Yueyue adapted, Zhou Rong... They started to quarrel after two months of good times. One time, I, Brother Bingyi, and that Cai Xiaoguang went to Zhou Rong's house for dinner. After a few words, we talked about the house... Zhou Rong said that Feng Huacheng was worldly-wise and that he was jealous of other people's achievements.

You didn't look, you were so embarrassed at the time. Feng Huacheng was blushing all the way to his neck, and I wanted to find a crack in the atmosphere to get in. It is said that Zhou Rong's IQ is not bad and she is good at studying. I really don't know what she is thinking. She can't even speak out of her head. Why did Feng Huacheng do that? Don’t you want to share a room? As for us in Jichun, it’s not easy to allocate rooms, let alone in the capital. What Feng Huacheng did was right. How long would it take to get to him if he waited for it? Because of this, the two of them always quarrel, which is not good.

But it was considered that he was taking care of Yue Yue, so there was no big quarrel. Small quarrels were made every day, and he would choke if he said two wrong words. After all, Feng Huacheng was a famous poet and writer, and he was considered number one in the literary world. Many of us in the Chinese Department admire him. But Zhou Rong's mouth was too venomous, and she always denied Feng Huacheng. On the one hand, he said that he was too sophisticated to give people gifts to build relationships for the sake of the house. On the one hand, she complained to Feng Huacheng that she couldn't get a house. I really don't know what she was thinking. It's a good thing that Yue Yue is here, otherwise, I guess both of them would have to take action. Another time..."

Chen Jing, who was gossiping, seemed to be full of energy and energetic. She kept talking about the things that happened between Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng in the past six months.

Wang Yan had expected what happened between Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng. Originally, the two of them respected each other as if they were guests and were very loving. There were no children around to disturb and occupy the living space. Coupled with what Chen Jing said, Feng Huacheng's reputation and influence among the student group, Zhou Rong's identity is also a student. She is proud of her brave pursuit of love when she secretly ran to the mountains of Qian Province. Her man is great.

It was different now. There were more children to take care of, and Zhou Rong had to cope with it. In addition, she found that Feng Huacheng was not as good as she thought. After all, if you are really good, why don't you do what Wang Yan did and get a good house after working for two months? Moreover, Feng Huacheng also wanted to give gifts and seek connections. She felt that he had lost the dignity that intellectuals and cultured people should have and was too worldly. It was too different from what she had originally imagined and she couldn't accept it. Affected by this, a few sarcastic remarks with a gun and a stick are normal.

This is still because Zhou Rong is still a student. If she graduates and starts working, like the two of them in the original drama, they will divorce without Feng Huacheng cheating on her. Few people live without quarrels, and there are always various reasons. Now it seems that Zhou Rong is in school and Feng Yue is still young and can pass. As for the specific time, I don’t know when.

After all, Feng Huacheng is engaged in literature and art. Now his destiny curve has changed, and he can't tell when it will explode. He is rich and famous, and Zhou Rong loves him very much.

Wang Yan hugged Chen Jing and said, "Okay, okay, go to bed. Why are you so energetic when talking about other people's family affairs. Aren't you tired? Why don't you do it again?"

"You, you asked me, I just said it, and now you still think of me... After taking it, go to bed, sleep, isn't it okay? Really, I don't know what you ate when you grew up, why are you so strong? Woolen cloth……"

…

This year is no different from the previous years, it is not a reunion. On the evening of the 30th, although Li Suhua asked Zhou Bingyi to stay at Hao Dongmei's house, she was not very happy.

In the first grade of junior high school, Zhou Bingyi brought back a lot of things and said that on the night of the second grade of junior high school, Jin Yueji would invite their family to have dinner at home. Li Suhua was a little happy again. After all, she was such a boss and an official, and she still thought about their poor relatives, which was quite good. He urged Zhou Bingkun to run to the hospital and use the phone there to call Zhou Zhigang to tell him the news.

On the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jin Yueji very thoughtfully sent a car to pick up Li Suhua, Zheng Juan and their two children. Zhou Bingkun took Zheng Guangming there on his bicycle.

Wang Yan didn't go because when he returned to his parents' house that day, he had to go to his father-in-law's house. However, he could also imagine that after going to Hao Dongmei's home, Zhou Bingkun would have a goal. After all, he doesn't know what to do with money or where to spend it. When he saw Hao Dongmei's big house in the past, he must be envious and want to own it.

The facts were not what he expected. After Zhou Bingyi took Zhou Bingkun and two curious children around the house, Zhou Bingkun was already thinking about what it would be like for his family to live in such a house.

During the meal, Hao Jinlong did not come back, saying that something was wrong. Only Jin Yueji greeted the old Zhou family, had a lively dinner, and talked to Li Suhua about the child all night. The main idea was that Li Suhua did not have to worry about the child, which was a declaration of sovereignty to a certain extent.

Of course Li Suhua wouldn't say anything, not because of Jin Yueji's words, but because Zhou Bingyi didn't say a word and obviously agreed. Moreover, Hao Dongmei didn't live with Lao Zhou's family before, so it was normal for her to raise her children with Jin Yueji. She had already thought of it, but she was still a little unhappy.

Of course Zhou Bingkun also noticed it, but he didn't say anything. After all these years, of course he knew that in the final analysis it was Zhou Bingyi's fault, he was just too lazy to say it. Mainly he could also know that Zhou Bingyi was probably not feeling very well.

The next day, the third day of the Lunar New Year, it was time for Zhou Bingkun and his friends' annual gathering again.

When he was twenty-nine, he took gifts and visited Xiao Guoqing, Sun Qianchao, and Cao Debao. As for the other two, Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan, they were no longer in frequent contact with them.

He started this habit during the Spring Festival of 1974. At that time, his good brother brought a bunch of things to the house and couldn't finish them all, so he took some and gave them to his good friends. Their conditions are poor, and the good things my good brother brings back are all good, giving them some advantage.

The gathering place this time was Cao Debao's house. Although Qiao Chunyan was taken down and went to have her feet repaired, the house was confiscated and they were still living there.

In the morning, Zhou Bingkun took good cigarettes and good wine, rode his bicycle, and went to the meeting...
