Chapter 55: Mention my name (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe!)

The meal was very warm and harmonious, and everyone felt warm in their hearts.

It was not until the end of the meal that Zhou Bingyi stood up and said goodbye to his parents with some embarrassment.

There are only two kangs in this home. When we were young, everyone squeezed together, which was the warmth of home. But now, with such a big family, it is really inconvenient to squeeze together.

What's more, Hao Dongmei's family's conditions cannot allow them to live in this shabby house.

Chen Can also sighed. It seems that he will have to find a way to solve the house issue after the New Year.

Zhou Zhigang obviously understood his eldest son's dilemma. He quickly stood up with a smile, took something from the cabinet and said.

"Bingyi, Dongmei, wait a minute. I brought back two tubes of tea leaves from Guizhou. You can take them back to your parents. These are good things. Come on, come on, take them!"

Hao Dongmei was a little overwhelmed and embarrassed, and glanced at Zhou Bingyi next to her.

Zhou Bingyi was also a little embarrassed. His boss father-in-law really needed this tea. If he sent the tea over, they might think too much about it.

This is what Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were thinking about. The Zhou family obviously just thought that this was a human relationship between relatives and had never thought about it that deeply. They all smiled and let them take it.

Seeing such enthusiasm, Hao Dongmei could no longer refuse, so she could only quickly take the tea and said.

"Thanks dad!"

Zhou Zhigang smiled and put the tea leaves in Hao Dongmei's hand, and suddenly smiled and said to Zhou Bingyi.

"Bingyi, you and Dongmei should come over early tomorrow. We have made an appointment with the photo studio tomorrow on New Year's Eve. It's the last day of work. We will take a family photo together. Remember to dress cleanly.

But you can clean it up neatly for me!"

Father Zhou Zhigang's words made all his children agree with him.

Only Chen Can was sitting there, looking at the tea leaves in the hands of his sister-in-law Hao Dongmei, lost in thought.

He seemed to remember that when he gave away the tea, he felt unhappy as a gift.

In his memory, after his eldest brother Zhou Bingyi took the tea back, it did give his parents-in-law some other ideas, and later even caused a misunderstanding.

At that time, his father-in-law had originally promised to come to Guangzi Pian to meet the Zhou family, after all, the eldest brother and sister-in-law had been married for so many years.

However, due to physical reasons, the trip did not take place in the end. This matter made the Zhou family wait and wait for a whole day. Finally, the other party's secretary came and said that the boss was ill and could not come at the moment.

Because of this matter, not only did the Zhou family and young and old wait in vain for a whole day, but it also delayed the Zhou family from going to the photo studio to take family photos. This became a thorn in Zhou's father's heart. Although he seemed to be understanding on the surface, Chen Can

I know that my father was actually feeling very uncomfortable.

And later on, the most speechless situation happened, that is, when the other party returned the gift, he accidentally sent back the two tubes of tea leaves given by Zhou Zhigang as a return gift.

Are you polite?

This incident also caused Hao Dongmei and her mother to have a big quarrel. Her mother made a lot of arguments, and finally the matter was settled.

Perhaps in the eyes of the big shots, they did break the promise, and the tea was accidentally sent back, but that was it. Do they really want the big shot to come and apologize?

But for the whole Zhou family, it was a thorn in their hearts. They reunited only once every ten years. They finally wanted to take a family photo, but because the other party broke the appointment, such precious time was wasted.

The Zhou family and the Hao family became in-laws, which was indeed considered a high-profile achievement. The Hao family was also afraid of the Zhou family's high-profile status, so they kept indifferent to the relationship between the two families.

When Chen Can thought about the things in his memory, a coldness appeared in his eyes.

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei took tea leaves, said goodbye to everyone, got up and left.

Chen Can also stood up with a smile and said to them.

"Brother, sister-in-law, let me give it to you!"

Zhou Bingyi quickly waved his hand and said.

"Forget it, it's cold outside, you'd better rest!"

Chen Can, however, just took off his coat and put it on, followed them, and walked outside.

Perhaps sensing what Chen Can wanted to say, Zhou Bingyi stopped trying to persuade him. They opened the door, pushed their bicycles in the yard, and walked out.

After walking for a short distance, Zhou Bingyi stopped, smiled and said to Chen Can.

"Xiaosan, do you have something to say?"

Chen Can hummed, then spoke slowly.

"Brother, this tea was specially brought back from Guizhou by my father, Qianli Zhaozhao. This is his heartfelt wish, do you understand?"

Zhou Bingyi was a little confused, but still nodded, and Hao Dongmei next to him smiled and said.

"Bingkun, we know this is what Dad wants. It's okay. You can go back. It's cold outside!"

Chen Can didn't smile at all, he said slowly with a cold face.

"For my dad, this tea is the greatest tribute he can give. Maybe in Guizhou, he was thinking about how to give a gift that is light and affectionate. But in the eyes of your parents, this is just a gift.

A simple gift, even a gift more expensive than this in your room, can fill a small house. I hope they understand that this is the heartfelt thought of his in-laws!"

Chen Can's words were a bit serious. Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei's expressions both darkened. For a moment, the scene was a little awkward.

Zhou Bingyi also reacted in time and scolded with some embarrassment.

"Zhou Bingkun, what do you mean?"

Zhou Bingyi, who has always been good-tempered, was indeed a little angry at this moment. He couldn't believe that these words came from his brother, who had always been honest and responsible!

Hao Dongmei also reacted quickly and hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Bingyi, don't be so loud. Bingkun probably doesn't mean anything else. Don't worry, Bingkun, I will tell my parents about this tea."

Chen Can looked at the couple, finally sighed, and then spoke slowly.

"Brother, when you go back, if you meet your father-in-law, just mention my name and say that your brother is Zhou Bingkun from Ningjiang Wireless Factory. I believe his attitude will change. That's it. Be careful when you go back.

point!"

After saying this, Chen Can tightened his coat, turned around and left without looking back, leaving Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei looking at each other.

What Chen Can said by these words was not to cling to the Hao family, but to hope that he would understand that the Zhou family does not need to cling to the Hao family, so there is no need to be so defensive, and the relationship between the two families does not need to be so distant.

Zhou Bingyi is the eldest son of Zhou, and he is married to their only daughter. This is an ordinary in-law relationship. During the holidays, they occasionally move around, so there is nothing to worry about, let alone anything to guard against.

The purpose of Chen Can's doing this is also to make his parents happy. Although his parents don't say it, the relationship between ordinary people and big bosses always feels a little unfair.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law have been married for so many years, but their parents have never met, let alone living in the same city. This is abnormal in itself.

In Chen Can's memory, the two families, including their parents, had never met each other from beginning to end, until the death of both parties.

The more they guard against the Zhou family, the more uncomfortable their parents feel. Although they don’t say it on the surface, they really feel uncomfortable in their hearts!

Chen Can believed that that person must have heard of his name and knew that the current Zhou family would not need to ask the Hao family for anything.

On the way back, Zhou Bingyi remained silent and rode his bicycle very slowly, but neither husband nor wife spoke.

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei are both still in school, especially Zhou Bingyi, who is far away in Yanjing and knows nothing about Chen Can's identity or his current situation.

As for Hao Dongmei, the situation was similar. Although she went to school in Jichun, she had rarely been to the Zhou family alone. She only knew about the Zhou siblings from Zhou Bingyi.

The two of them were still a little silent until they entered the No. 1 compound. When they arrived at the door of the house, Hao Dongmei pulled Zhou Bingyi's sleeve, and Zhou Bingyi showed an awkward smile and laughed softly.

"It's okay. I'll talk to Bingkun tomorrow. Don't tell your parents about this!"

Hao Dongmei nodded, and then she felt that the anger in her heart had dissipated, and the two of them entered the house one after another.

What Chen Can said just now made Hao Dongmei a little angry inside.

In her opinion, what Chen Can said was more like saying it to herself. Because of her family relationship, the Zhou family had some conflicts. Her parents had never been to the Zhou family in so many years.

Come on, I look down on them a little bit like the Zhou family.

Hao Dongmei thinks so. In fact, she feels a little guilty in her heart. She has already made a plan. She should talk to her parents. After all, they are in-laws. Now that they are so separated, it is really good for her to be caught in the middle.

Disaster.

As soon as Hao Dongmei entered the room, she happened to see her mother reading a newspaper in front of the desk. She quickly shouted, "Mom, we are back!"

Jin Yueji put down the newspaper, adjusted her reading glasses, and said to the two of them with a smile.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Zhou Bingyi put the gifts brought by his comrades and the two tubes of tea given by his father on the coffee table, and replied with a smile.

"Eat, Mom, have you eaten?"

Jin Yueji was still quite happy and replied with a smile before sitting back on the sofa.

"The nanny is on vacation, so I can handle it by myself. Your dad finished the meeting and went directly to the auditorium to attend the military-civilian get-together. It's the Chinese New Year, but I still feel that there are too few people at home!"

These words made Hao Dongmei and his wife look at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. Being unable to have children was Hao Dongmei's lifelong pain.

Zhou Bingyi quickly changed the subject and said towards the gifts on the coffee table.

"Mom, my comrades in the army gave these to my parents. They are all specialties from the south!"

Jin Yueji smiled and said.

"Take it to your house, you have a lot of family!"

Hao Dongmei explained quickly.
