Autumn turns to winter, and we haven’t enjoyed the coolness of autumn for long, before Ji Chun ushered in the cold winter.
Today is a rest day. Zhou Chen accompanies Zheng Juan for a walk. There is already snow on the ground. He carefully supports Zheng Juan, fearing that Zheng Juan's feet will slip.
More than half a year has passed, and Zhou Chen's life has undergone great changes. First of all, his wife Zheng Juan is pregnant, and she is already seven months pregnant.
After Zheng Juan became pregnant, Zhou Chen followed Li Suhua's request and wrote a letter to her father Zhou Zhigang, who was far away in the mountain city, to announce the good news. In the letter, he confessed that he and Zheng Juan were married.
Zhou Chen had no time to care about Zhou Zhigang's expression after reading the letter. After writing the letter, he told Li Suhua what he had concealed.
He revealed that Zhou Zhigang's original letter was not in agreement with him and Zheng Juan, but in opposition. It was just that he made up this lie in order to be with Zheng Juan.
After learning this fact, Li Suhua got angry on the spot and cursed Zhou Chen. Then she felt dizzy. Fortunately, Zhou Chen was experienced and stabilized her, so that no tragedy occurred.
Li Suhua was indeed very angry, but looking at her pregnant daughter-in-law and thinking about Zheng Juan's usual kindness to her, she no longer felt so angry.
However, he was still unwilling to forgive Zhou Chen. Even though Zhou Chen tried hard, it took less than half a month before he was forgiven.
After all, Li Suhua is different from Zhou Zhigang. If it were Zhou Zhigang, even if Zhou Chen admitted his mistake, he probably wouldn't be able to forgive so quickly.
In addition, Shui Ziliu started to do things according to Zhou Chen's instructions a few months ago. After a few months, it can be regarded as a small success, and it is no longer a problem to feed the vegetative Luo Shibin.
A few months passed, and Luo Shibin showed no signs of waking up, which made Zhou Chen completely relieved and stopped thinking about him.
The industry Zhou Chen Shui Ziliu works in is logistics, but since individual merchants and private companies are not allowed now, Zhou Chen Shui Ziliu keeps a low profile and only takes on some odd jobs from people he knows.
Mainly to help people transport things in the city, including moving, etc. In addition to Shui Ziliu, I also found two other honest people to work with Shui Ziliu.
Zhou Chen is not worried at all about Shui Ziliu getting acquainted with him and going solo, because most of Shui Ziliu's business was introduced and negotiated by him, but he rarely shows up, and Shui Ziliu basically keeps it public, so even if he is
If you report it, it won't implicate him.
This approach seems a bit unethical, but neither Zhou Chen nor Shui Ziliu thinks there is a problem. It is originally about each taking what he needs. In the end, everyone gets the benefits and takes some risks. Shui Ziliu has no objection at all.
In fact, what they earn is hard-earned money. At most, it has nothing to do with speculation. As long as they keep a low profile, basically nothing will happen.
After Zheng Juan became pregnant, Zhou Chen basically arranged the meals, and Li Suhua took the initiative to take on most of the housework. Every time Zheng Juan wanted to help, the old lady would persuade her to go back and not let her do any heavy work.
Zheng Juanqian.
In this era, women are not as delicate as they would be a few decades later. Even if they are pregnant, they are still doing heavy work, because if you don't work, you will have no money or points.
But since Zhou Chen is a big moneymaker in their family, they don't have to worry too much about not having enough money.
The New Year is approaching, and the three people from the Zhou family who went out are still unable to go home to celebrate the New Year this year. However, this year there will be one more Zheng Juan at home, so it will definitely be more lively than in previous years.
There were still several days before the Spring Festival, and Zhou Chen had already started to decorate his home. When he had nothing to do at home, he even made a crib for the child who was about to be born.
He supported Zheng Juan, who had a big belly, and walked around the surrounding area. It was already dark, so Zhou Chen took her back.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, Zhou Chen saw an extra bicycle in the yard and knew that someone must be coming.
"Juan'er, there should be a visitor at home."
Zheng Juan also saw the extra bicycles, so she quickened her pace and said, "Then let's go in quickly."
"Don't be anxious, slow down."
When I walked into the door, I saw a woman watching everywhere, and another person sitting on the sofa in the living room.
These two people are Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian.
Xiao Guoqing, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up immediately when he saw Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan walking in.
"Kun'er, Zheng Juan, you are back."
Wu Qian, who was looking at the door of the master bedroom, immediately turned her head when she heard the sound and went over with a smile on her face.
"Juan'er."
Walking up to her, she looked at Zheng Juan's big belly and said with a smile: "Your belly is so big. When Guo Qing and I got married, your belly wasn't that big yet. It's only been more than two months, but it's already so big."
.”
Zheng Juan replied gently: "As you get older, your belly will naturally get bigger."
Wu Qian looked at it carefully and then said: "Juan'er, look at your pointed belly, you must be pregnant with a boy. Bingkun, you are going to have a son, be happy."
Zhou Chen said: "I don't care about men and women, sons and daughters, they are all the same to me."
Wu Qian laughed twice, not believing Zhou Chen's words at all. Can men and women be the same?
Zhou Chen walked to sit next to Xiao Guoqing and asked, "Guo Qing, why do you have time to come to my place today?"
Xiao Guoqing's expression changed several times, and then he said: "Isn't this what Wu Qian said? I have never been to your place before. I happened to have nothing to do today, so I brought her here for a stroll and to see my aunt."
Looking at Xiao Guoqing's expression, Zhou Chen knew that he had something to say, so he said: "National Day, we haven't seen each other for a while. We'll get two drinks before going back."
Xiao Guoqing waved his hand quickly: "No, we just came to take a look and will go back soon, no need to worry."
Zhou Chen: "What's our relationship and what's the trouble? That's settled."
Then he said to Zheng Juan: "Juan'er, go to the kitchen and tell mom and ask her to prepare two more snacks for dinner tonight, and take out the two bottles of wine I put away before."
"good."
Zheng Juan walked to the kitchen, and Xiao Guoqing said hurriedly: "Zheng Juan, no, no, no, we'll go back right away."
But Zhou Chen grabbed him and said, "Okay, you are still polite to me. We brothers haven't drank for a while. Today we will have two drinks as I said."
Wu Qian suddenly said: "On National Day, Bingkun has said so, so you should have a drink with him."
"Shut up, I'm talking to Kun'er, it's not your turn to tell me what to do."
Xiao Guoqing suddenly shouted at Wu Qian angrily.
Wu Qian is not someone who doesn't talk back when someone scolds her. Without caring about the situation, she pointed at Xiao Guoqing and cursed: "Xiao Guoqing, what do you mean? I spoke to you kindly, but is this how you treat me? We just
After a few months of marriage, you treat me like this. In a few years, will I no longer be qualified to speak?"
Xiao Guoqing's eyes widened and he was about to say more, but Zhou Chen pulled him aside in time.
"National Day, what are you doing? Wu Qian didn't do anything to you, why are you so angry?"
Zhou Chen and Xiao Guoqing have known each other for a long time, and they know very well what kind of character Xiao Guoqing is. If nothing had happened, he would definitely not have this attitude towards his newlywed wife. It was obvious that Wu Qian had offended Xiao Guoqing in some way.
Thinking about their sudden appearance in his home, Zhou Chen felt that their conflict should be related to him.
Xiao Guoqing said gloomily: "It's nothing, I'm just not satisfied. Look at how loving you and Zheng Juan have been since you got married. Wu Qian and I have only been married for more than two months. We have constant quarrels almost every day. She even started to fight with me some time ago.
Why didn't I see that she was like this before? She is simply a shrew."
Zhou Chen advised: "Don't say that. Wu Qian is your wife now. No matter what happens, you can't say anything bad about her in front of outsiders."
Xiao Guoqing: "You are my brother, so I told you. I won't tell anyone else."
Zhou Chen didn't ask anything. He knew that if Xiao Guoqing wanted to say something, he would tell him. If he didn't want to say it, he might even embarrass Xiao Guoqing if he asked.
"If we are brothers, then don't talk about it. Let's have a few drinks tonight."
Xiao Guoqing did not refuse this time: "Okay, Kun'er, let's have some drinks tonight."
Wu Qian on the other side was also being persuaded by Zheng Juan. Wu Qian burst into tears and cried to Zheng Juan about how Xiao Guoqing bullied her.
Zheng Juan is a very good-natured person. She didn't express any opinions, she just tried to persuade him softly.
Li Suhua cooked a few dishes to go with the wine, and several people gathered around a table to eat. Li Suhua ate quickly, and after finishing the meal, he left first and returned to the room, leaving Zhou Chen and the four of them talking.
After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Guoqing pulled Zhou Chen and said: "Kun'er, during the more than half a year since you weren't here in Guangzipian, Qianchao and I always felt that something was missing. We really miss the days when we played together.
ah."
Zhou Chen said: "Although I no longer live in Guangzipian, it's not too far from Guangzipian. If you and Qianchao want to find me, come over anytime."
Xiao Guoqing sighed: "It's not that easy. The lumber factory is busy and tired. When I get home from work every day, I just want to lie down and don't want to go anywhere."
"I can prove this. He is indeed like this. When he comes back from get off work every day, he lies on the kang, motionless like a dead pig. I do all the work at home by myself."
Wu Qian complained in a very dissatisfied tone.
Xiao Guoqing retorted: "You can do it, but my mother didn't do it? My mother does most of the work in the house, so don't brag in front of Kuner and the others."
Wu Qian said angrily: "What am I bragging about? You can only see your mother working, but you can't see me when I work. Bingkun, Juan'er, let me tell you, he will face his parents
, no matter what his parents say, he listens, but when I ask him to do something, he refuses to do anything. Do you think there is anyone who bullies others like him? "
"Who has bullied you? Who dares to bully you? Wu Qian, please tell your conscience, what will I, Xiao Guoqing, do to you? When we get married, if you want anything, I will give it to you. Although our family has no money,
It doesn’t make you any worse than others.”
