When he arrived at his wife's house, even though he had been prepared for it, Zhou Bingyi was still not used to it.
The living room is spacious and even larger than his home, with large circular windows for lighting, furniture that looks very high-end at first glance, and floors that seem to be made of mahogany.
He had only seen this kind of thing in novels.
For lunch, we had dumplings made by Jin Yueji herself. The atmosphere at the dinner table was very good and harmonious, and Hao Dongmei and her son blended in perfectly.
Only Zhou Bingyi failed to truly integrate into it.
Jin Yueji and Hao Shaohua may or may not have noticed, but they did not take any additional actions. They focused more on their daughter and grandson.
After lunch, Zhou Bingyi stood up on his own initiative and prepared to help clear away the bowls, but Jin Yueji did not let him do it.
After clearing away the bowls, Zhou Bingyi took the initiative to take his son aside to play.
This time, Jin Yueji did not refuse. She and her husband really wanted to talk to their daughter alone.
Although Zhou Bingyi was their son-in-law, it was only their first meeting. With him present, many things were difficult to say.
Seeing her son-in-law taking her grandson to the yard outside, Jin Yueji found the opportunity to express her feelings. She held her daughter's hand and said with a look of love on her face.
"Dongmei, I've suffered a lot from you these past years."
Jin Yueji always felt that she owed too much to her daughter. If they had not been classified as a capitalist roader, given their family's situation, with only one child by their side, Dongmei would not have to go to the countryside.
But after they fell, Dongmei not only went to the countryside, but also went to the border areas where the conditions were the most difficult.
Jin Yueji has a deep understanding of the cold in the Northeast.
She came from the war years and suffered a lot during the Anti-Japanese War. In the winter where Dongmei went to the countryside, every drop of water turned into ice.
Even if you throw boiling hot water into the sky, it will instantly turn into ice slag.
Jin Yueji caressed her daughter's face with red eyes. The cheek that was no longer smooth was like a knife stabbed hard into her chest.
"Mom, I'm not bitter."
Hao Dongmei shook her head gently and subconsciously glanced at the father and son in the yard.
"Bingyi treats me very well. With him by his side, I don't feel miserable anywhere."
Jin Yueji followed her daughter's gaze and glanced outside the house. In fact, she had heard the name Zhou Bingyi a long time ago.
When her daughter went to school, she was not beaten down yet. She knew a little about her daughter.
In this relationship, Dongmei is the one who pursues her. If not, Jin Yueji would definitely intervene in this relationship.
What was the composition of their home at that time?
If it was Zhou Bingyi's daughter who took the initiative to pursue her, she would definitely doubt the little boy's original intention.
Looking back on the past, my daughter saw the right person. Even during the worst time, Zhou Bingyi did not abandon Dongmei.
That experience of devolution also gave Jin Yueji a deep understanding of what the "capitalist roaders" represent.
Everyone avoids them, fearing them like snakes and scorpions.
Under the circumstances at that time, Zhou Bingyi was able to marry Dongmei, which required not only courage, but also firm belief and preparation for the worst.
This is commendable.
Jin Yueji will not forget these things, otherwise, she would not have asked Zhou Bingyi to follow him home after they met for the first time.
Stepping through this door means recognition.
"well."
Seeing her daughter's deep love, Jin Yueji sighed slightly.
"What are your conditions? I still don't know?"
"When your father was still in the Anti-Japanese War, when he encountered encirclement and suppression, he often hid in that area."
"Although there are no foreign enemies now, the external environment will not change. In the coldest months of winter, it is useless to wear several layers of coats."
Hao Dongmei just listened quietly and did not refute because what her mother said was true.
In the winter in Wudaojiang, it is really scary.
During the coldest days, she didn't dare to let her children go out at all. When the white-haired wind blew, there was only a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth. After going out, once she was one meter away, she couldn't see anyone around her.
As she talked, Jin Yueji fell into memories and talked about her experiences when she was in the army.
After a long time, she recovered her thoughts and suddenly made a suggestion.
"Dongmei, have you ever thought about coming back?"
Today is different from the past. It is not in line with the policy for Hao Dongmei to go to the countryside. In addition, they are about to resume their duties and want Hao Dongmei to return to the city. It is just a matter of words.
Of course, Jin Yueji did not forget Zhou Bingyi when she made this suggestion again.
Before the children came back, she had discussed it with her husband and transferred her daughter and son-in-law back. It would be easy for her daughter.
At most, the son-in-law will have to put in a little effort.
Hao Shaohua was born in the military. Although he has been transferred to the government, his relationship with the army has not been broken.
It would be no problem to think of a way to transfer Zhou Bingyi to a nearby military region.
Although the nearest military district in Jichun City is more than 100 kilometers away, more than 100 kilometers is still much closer than the border area.
If Dongmei gets homesick, it only takes a day to get back and forth.
If Dongmei wants to join the army, they agree, and joining the army is actually a good choice.
The young couple have been married for so many years and have only given birth to one child. This is obviously not in line with common sense.
It must be inseparable from their situation.
If they come back, everything will be different. They are still young now and can definitely have more children.
Jin Yueji also has a purpose in wanting the young couple to have more children.
She and her husband had three children, two sons were lost, and now they only have one daughter, and the daughter is married.
The Hao family's incense cannot be cut off just like this.
Dongmei's first child is already five years old. It is unreasonable and unreasonable to change her surname now.
Jin Yueji didn't ask for much. She just hoped that the second boy her daughter would give birth to would have the family name Hao.
On the other side, Hao Dongmei looked at her mother in surprise when she heard this.
Didn’t my mother always hate the back door?
Why did you suddenly make such a suggestion?
Seeing the surprise on her daughter's face, Jin Yueji misunderstood and quickly added.
"It's not what you think."
"Since I let you come back, I will definitely let your whole family come back."
Hearing this, Hao Dongmei's heart moved for a moment.
She will definitely be willing to come back.
There are not only her relatives here, but also those emotions that she can't let go of. What's more, she wants to come back even for the sake of her children.
But judging from the mother's words, she obviously wanted to use her privilege to bring them back.
When she thought of this, her nerves instantly tensed up. Wasn't it just a matter of using privilege to have her parents knocked down?
Once bitten by a snake, she would be afraid of well ropes for ten years. Hao Dongmei didn't want her parents to take such a risk.
What Hao Dongmei understands, it is impossible for Jin Yueji and Hao Shaohua not to understand.
