"Mom and I have packed up and can leave."
"Then let's go. The car is downstairs and everything has been arranged."
It was quite far from the train station, so it was impossible to carry so many things there, so Zhou Chen asked Wan Shibing for help and found two cars.
Vans have not yet appeared these days, otherwise, a van would solve the problem.
Several adults carried bags in their hands and took their children downstairs.
"Bingkun, here."
As soon as he arrived at the stairs, Zhou Chen heard Wan Shibing's call. When he turned around, he saw that Wan Shibing was not far away, and behind him were two cars.
Today's cars are not something ordinary people can find. That means Wan Shibing's family has unusual connections. Otherwise, even if Zhou Chen pays, it would be difficult to find two cars at once.
So Zhou Chen really misses modern society. As long as you have money, you can't find any car.
"Lao Wan, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Wan Shibing punched Zhou Chen and said, "We brothers, let's talk about this without seeing each other. When you come back, just treat me to a drink."
"That's for sure."
With the help of Wan Shibing, Zhou Chen and his family arrived at the train station quickly. They went back earlier this time, but Yanjing was Yanjing after all, and even in the 1980s, there was still a huge flow of people.
The way back this time was much more lively than the last time. Someone actually wanted to steal their things, but Zhou Chen was very alert and discovered it in time, so there was no loss.
Zhou Chen wanted to arrest the person, but that person was obviously a habitual criminal and he quickly rushed into the crowd. Zhou Chen couldn't catch him even if he wanted to. He was really helpless.
Something like this happened at the train station, which reminded him of a movie he once watched called A World Without Thieves.
I don’t know if the real world is as exaggerated as in the movie, but now that his whole family is in the car, there is really no need to cause more trouble just for the sake of anger.
Acting chivalrously and righteously also depends on the situation.
After spending nearly twenty hours, Zhou Chen and his party finally returned to Jichun.
After returning to Jichun, he naturally went straight to the house that Zhou Chen bought. Fortunately, the house was built very well. Even two years later, Zhou Chen asked Sun Qichao to take a look and there was nothing wrong with it.
And last month he wrote a letter to his old leader Shao Jingwen, asking him to help find someone to clean up the house.
When he went to Yanjing two years ago, he specially left a key for Shao Jingwen and asked him to take care of it when he had time.
When Zhou Chen and the others returned home, the house was quite tidy, and it was obvious that it had been cleaned.
However, Li Suhua and Zheng Juan, who had not been back for two years, did not even bother to rest, so they started cleaning the room, from inside to outside, including the yard. The family was busy for several hours before cleaning it in front of them.
In the next few days, Li Shuhua and Zheng Juan were still cleaning at home, while Zhou Bingyi went to Hao's house to accompany Hao Dongmei.
Zhou Chen first went to Shao Jingwen's house to have a meal and catch up with the old leader.
Two years ago, since he left, Shao Jingwen took the initiative to step back and now has become a leader in the logistics department of the publishing house, responsible for logistics work, which is regarded as a pension and retirement.
Seeing Shao Jingwen again, Zhou Chen obviously felt that he had aged a lot and gained some weight, but he was still in good spirits.
After meeting Shao Jingwen, Zhou Chen went to the provincial compound to visit Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen, and also took Zheng Juan and the three children with him.
This makes Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen happy. They rarely have visitors at home, and even if they do, most of them come to ask for help.
Zhou Rui is now their godson, and they are relatives, so the meaning is naturally different.
Zhou Chen's family stayed at Ma Shouchang's house from morning to night and had two meals in a row. During this period, Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen were smiling constantly and were very happy.
In the evening, Zhou Chen arrived outside the gate of the lumber factory.
After many years, the gate of the lumber factory seemed to have remained unchanged, but Zhou Chen remembered that when he came to the lumber factory to wait for Sun Qunchao and Xiao Guoqing, everything inside and outside the lumber factory was clean, including the door number.
Spotless.
But at this time, the inside and outside of the gate seemed very desolate, with debris flying everywhere, and it was a desolate place.
The factory is still there, but it looks like it has gone bankrupt. How long has it been?
Workers came out in twos and threes. There was no enthusiasm at all on their faces, some were just numb.
Zhou Chen shook his head. In this state, it would be strange if the lumber factory did not close down. That is because it is a state-owned factory. If it were a private enterprise, it would have gone bankrupt and settled long ago.
After waiting for a long time, Zhou Chen saw Sun Qunchao and Xiao Guoqing walking out wearing factory uniforms and pushing bicycles.
"Catch up, National Day."
Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing were discussing whether the factory could pay wages normally during the Chinese New Year this year. Suddenly they heard someone shouting and they both raised their heads.
"Quner?"
When the two of them saw Zhou Bingkun, they both felt incredible, then they rubbed their eyes vigorously, and after confirming, they quickly walked over.
Throwing the bicycle aside, the two of them gave Zhou Chen a hug.
"Kun'er, you are finally willing to come back. It's been two years since you left. I thought you went to the capital to live a good life and didn't remember us brothers?"
"It'll be nice to come back. We brothers can finally be reunited."
Both of them showed their true feelings, and Zhou Chen was also very happy. He has known these two for more than ten years. Although they all have their own shortcomings and ideas, their brotherly love is sincere.
"Let's go. This is our first meeting in two years. Of course, we want to have a good meal with good wine and good food."
Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing hurriedly said: "Kun'er, we must treat you to this meal."
"We brothers shouldn't be so clearly differentiated."
"That won't work. This meal must be ours. Let's go."
On New Year's Eve, Zhou Chen and Zhou Bingyi were waiting near the train station platform. Today was the day for Zhou Zhigang to go home.
"Bingkun, don't forget what mom and I told you. When you see dad later, be more enthusiastic and have a better attitude. Do you hear me?"
Zhou Bingyi was both happy and a little nervous about meeting his father soon.
Of course I was happy because I could see my father again, but I was nervous because I was afraid that Zhou Chen and Zhou Zhigang would start having sex again.
Zhou Chen said impatiently: "I understand, brother, you have said it dozens of times along the way. My ears are ringing. Can you let me rest?"
Zhou Bingyi said impatiently: "Just hearing is not enough, you have to listen in."
"Okay, I'm scared of you. I promise you that you will have a better attitude later and you will never quarrel with our dad again, okay?"
Zhou Chen was helpless. He didn't want to quarrel with Zhou Zhigang at all. He was not really a wronged child, but he had always been unhappy with what Zhou Zhigang had done.
In the final analysis, he did not fully introduce his son's identity in front of Zhou Zhigang. He looked at Zhou Zhigang more like a bystander and felt that he was partial.
If there was really much hatred, it wouldn't be serious at all. As long as Zhou Zhigang didn't get angry with him and didn't have any ulterior motives, he wouldn't confront Zhou Zhigang.
