A few days passed in a flash.
Ever since Zhou Zhigang returned to Guangzipi with his wife and daughter, starting from the next day, discussions about the Zhou family have not stopped.
Everyone knows about optical type films. The Zhou family is now the number one in optical type films. Their three children are all very promising. They have been admitted to prestigious universities and have become the envy of everyone.
But the neighbors also know that the Zhou family has moved into a big house and rarely returns to the photo album. In recent years, they have not come back to celebrate the New Year.
As a result, Zhou Zhigang suddenly returned to Guangzipi with his family overnight, but Zhou Bingkun, who had been staying at home, did not come back, which naturally aroused widespread discussion.
With Zhou Zhigang's character, all three of his children have been admitted to prestigious universities. In the past, they would have paid New Year's greetings to each family.
But this time, he didn't dare to go out at all and just stayed at home.
What made him impatient was that he hid at home and refused to go out, but his neighbors came to visit him one after another. Even though he was unhappy, he could only greet them with a smile.
Although the neighbors are talking about the Zhou family's affairs, without exception, many people want to have a relationship with the Zhou family.
The three children of the Zhou family have all been admitted to prestigious universities. Anyone with any wisdom will know that the Zhou family will definitely prosper in the future.
Even if this point is put aside, there is another point that people who make phototypes attach great importance to.
That is Zhou Bingyi, the eldest son of the Zhou family. The wife he married is the daughter of a high-ranking official in Jiangliao Province, a first-class big shot. For this reason alone, she is enviable and jealous.
Especially when Zhou Bingyi brought Hao Dongmei back to the optical film, it attracted countless people to watch, and everyone was curious about what Hao Gaoguan's daughter looked like.
Although Zhou Zhigang was still in a bad mood, seeing the compliments from his neighbors was actually quite good, and it relieved a lot of his sadness.
Zhou Rong has been very unhappy these days because Feng Yue has not called her mother once in the past few days. Instead, she has called Feng Huacheng father several times.
Her daughter's alienation made her even more dissatisfied with Zhou Chen. She felt that Zhou Chen must be behind it, otherwise her daughter would not be able to treat her like this.
She wanted to settle the score with Zhou Chen, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do it. She still hasn't forgotten the force with which Zhou Chen hit her.
She also thought about asking her father to help her get justice, but unfortunately, Zhou Zhigang didn't mention Zhou Chen at all now, as if he didn't have a son, so naturally it was impossible to help her get justice.
Zhou Chen has not been to Guangzi Film once in the past few days, but Zheng Juan has been there twice with her two children and brought a lot of things there. Zhou Chen saw it but did not say anything.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, it’s lunch time.
"Bingkun, dad is leaving soon, are you really not going to see him?"
Zheng Juan asked Zhou Chen cautiously. Over the past few days, she tried to persuade her several times, but Zhou Chen didn't listen at all.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "I won't go."
Zheng Juan looked helpless: "Bingkun, I know you are angry about dad's partiality, but after all, he is also an elder. You have been angry for so many days, so let's forget it."
"Juan'er, I know you mean well, but this matter is not as simple as you think. If I admit my mistake, it may cause more trouble in the future."
Zhou Chen already knew Zhou Zhigang's character very well, so he was determined not to admit his mistake, not to mention it was not his fault, so why should he admit it?
Zheng Juan said: "It's not that simple. I think you think too complicatedly. Dad is just angry that you don't listen to him. Dad is a partial sister, but even parents can't be equal in a bowl of water."
Zhou Chen shook his head and sighed: "You are still too naive. There are some things that we cannot get used to. The more we do this, the more he will take it for granted. It is our responsibility as children to be filial to our parents, but we cannot be filial, do you understand?
"
"I don't understand. I know it's obviously a very simple thing, but you made it so complicated."
"Okay, you spoke so abruptly today, like a tiger bitch."
"I'm not doing it for your own good."
In Zheng Juan's eyes, her husband is the most capable and smartest person in the world, but she can't understand why her husband has to be so entangled in these matters.
For her, everything goes well with her family. Even if she suffers a little loss or suffers a little grievance sometimes, she can accept it as long as everyone is fine.
Zhou Chen naturally understands her thoughts, but so many years of life have made him understand that sometimes if you don't take a step back, others will do the same.
Many times, when you take a step back, others will take a step forward, forcing you step by step until they push you into a desperate situation.
At that time, you will have only two choices, one is to suffocate until death, and the other is to rise up and resist.
But for a person who is used to retreating when something happens, how powerful can you expect him to stand up and resist?
It's like those honest people in the real world were finally forced to do something sensational.
But in fact, how much influence did they bring to society? How big a wave did they create? Were they not quickly forgotten?
So for Zhou Chen, the prerequisite for taking a step back is that others can understand you. If you take a step back and others continue to push forward, why not take a step back and fuck them.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I asked you to pack your things. How are you doing?"
Zheng Juan replied: "Almost everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, including clothes and so on. It's not too late to pack them before leaving."
At this point, she hesitated: "Bingkun, do you really have to take us with you? If we go together, we will definitely drag you down."
Zhou Chen smiled and touched her face and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are my wife. I will definitely take you with me. I know what you are worried about, but haven't I already explained it to you? I will
A way to support you and your children and ensure a better quality of life than you have now."
It is now 1978, and the era of rationed purchases will soon pass. Moreover, as the capital of Yanjing, the conditions in all aspects are definitely not comparable to those of Jichun.
Although the living standard is definitely higher than that at home, and prices are also higher, for Zhou Chen, he has many ways to make money, and there is absolutely no problem in supporting a family of several people.
"What about mom? What if our dad doesn't let her go with us?"
"This is not the first time I have done this kind of thing. Don't worry about Mom, she will definitely listen to me."
"And Yueyue, mom said, my sister and brother-in-law probably won't take Yueyue with them when they return to Yanjing."
"It goes without saying that Yueyue will definitely follow us. I'm even more worried if we leave this child to them."
After all, he was raised since childhood, and two years was enough to develop feelings for him, so Zhou Chen naturally couldn't let go of Feng Yue.
"That's it, it's settled. I'll go to Yanjing in a few days to make arrangements for the house and other things, and then I'll come back to take you. When Dad and the others are gone, you can immediately go and bring our mother and Yueyue back. You know
?"
"Okay, I get it now."
At this time Guangming said hesitantly: "Brother-in-law, why don't I go? I..."
"Stop it, Guangming, how many times have I told you not to say such things again. If you do this again, my brother-in-law will really be angry."
Although Zheng Guangming couldn't see it, he could hear Zhou Chen's tone and pursed his lips, not daring to say any more.
"Bingkun, Zhou Bingkun."
Suddenly someone outside called Zhou Chen's name. When Zhou Chen heard the voice, he immediately knew who it was.
"It's Cai Xiaoguang, you eat first, I'll go take a look."
Zhou Chen put on his clothes and walked outside the door. He saw that it was Cai Xiaoguang.
"Cai Xiaoguang, why are you here?"
Cai Xiaoguang was also very happy when he saw Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, it's a great New Year. I haven't had time to come over. Where's Zhou Rong? I heard she's back. Is she at home?"
Seeing that Cai Xiaoguang just said hello briefly and started to ask Zhou Rong, Zhou Chen couldn't help but said "lick the dog".
"She did come back, but she didn't live here, in Guangzipi."
"Light type film?"
Cai Xiaoguang looked stunned, "Didn't your family already move here? Why did she go to Guangzi Film? Is it because you don't have enough room here?"
He has been to Zhou Chen's house several times, and he knows that the place is not small. Logically speaking, even if Zhou Rong and the others come back, they can still live in it if they are squeezed in. There is no need to go to Guangzi Film.
Zhou Chen smiled and didn't explain. He just asked, "What do you want from Zhou Rong?"
Cai Xiaoguang is also an old licker. Zhou Rong has been back for several days, but he was surprised that he didn't come to the door immediately.
Cai Xiaoguang's expression changed slightly, and then he said with a smile: "Don't I miss her? After all, I haven't seen her in nine years."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, I really admire you. Back then, you personally delivered your beloved girl to someone else's arms. After so many years, you still miss her. You can be considered a seed of infatuation."
"Bingkun, have you ever said that about me? I heard that you also applied for a university in Yanjing?"
"Yes, Yenching Medical College, clinical medicine."
"That's really congratulations. Your eldest brother and Zhou Rong are both from Peking University. Now the three of you will be reunited in the capital."
"It's not bad. I heard that you also applied for a university in Yanjing, or majored in literature and art. Is it Nortel or something?"
"Yenjing Broadcasting Institute."
Speaking of this, Cai Xiaoguang's expression was obviously different, and Zhou Chen immediately thought of a possibility.
