After Wang Gang and Zheng Juan finished sending the telegram, they returned home without stopping. Unexpectedly, they saw Aunt Qiao as soon as they entered the door.
"Bingkun and Zheng Juan are back!" Aunt Qiao shouted enthusiastically when she saw Bingkun.
"Aunt Qiao is here? Do you want to stay for dinner tonight?" Wang Gang replied politely.
"No need, I've cooked at home, and Chunyan and his wife are still waiting for me to come back." Aunt Qiao said with a smile.
"Aunt Qiao, are you here for business?" Wang Gang asked Zheng Juan to go see the dinner while he chatted with Aunt Qiao.
Zheng Juan was eager for this, so she greeted Aunt Qiao and went to the kitchen.
It's not a secret that Aunt Qiao doesn't like Zheng Juan.
Aunt Qiao has always cared about Zheng Juan ruining Wang Gang and Qiao Chunyan's good deeds.
According to Aunt Qiao's opinion, if it hadn't been for Zheng Juan, Qiao Chunyan and Wang Gang would have gotten married long ago, and her daughter would not have married Cao Debao.
In the past few years, Wang Gang has been very successful in magazines, and the Zhou family has gained a lot of respect in the photo industry. Every time Aunt Qiao sees Wang Gang and Zheng Juan having sex, she will beat her feet and chest, and sigh.
Later, Li Suhua and Zheng's mother got closer and closer, and gradually alienated Aunt Qiao, an old sister, and the relationship between the two families was not as good as before.
"I came here this time to ask Sister Zheng for a favor." Aunt Qiao hesitated for a long time and then said to Mother Zheng:
"My two daughters and son-in-law are going home for the Chinese New Year this year. We really can't live in the house, so I want to borrow Sister Zheng's house in Taiping Hutong. I will pay the rent." Aunt Qiao took out a few dollars and put them on the table.
"Sister, why are you being polite to me? We don't live in the house in Taiping Hutong anyway, so you can use it if you want! I don't want the money." Zheng's mother pushed the money back to Aunt Qiao.
When Aunt Qiao saw Mother Zheng's promise, she immediately became happy. To be honest, if she had no other choice, she would never say this to Mother Zheng.
This year, people who went to the countryside have returned to the city one after another. Some people not only came back by themselves, but also brought their wives and children with them. Housing in the city suddenly became tense.
The New Year is approaching, and Aunt Qiao really can't rent a house.
"You accept this money and use your house. Why don't you give me the money? Only if you accept it can I dare to live in it."
Aunt Qiao forced money to Zheng's mother, but Zheng's mother could not resist and had to accept it.
But he changed hands and gave the money to Wang Gang.
"Bingkun, please keep this money!" Zheng's mother said.
"Mom, you keep the money I gave you, why do you give it to me?" Wang Gang didn't ask for money.
"Guangming and I have been living in your house so that the house in Taiping Hutong can be vacant. This money should be given to you." Zheng's mother said seriously.
"I think this money should be kept for Guangming to marry him in the future." Wang Gang joked with Zheng Guangming with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, why are you talking about me again?" Zheng Guangming was also surprised. He was eating melons well, but why did the melons fall on his head?
Everyone in the room laughed, and the rent was settled.
"Bingkun is still capable. He bought a house within a few years of working. Unlike my Chunyan, who is still a pedicurist in the bathhouse." Aunt Qiao looked at the filial Wang Gang and felt very uncomfortable.
"Didn't Chunyan say she was promoted?" Li Suhua said.
Aunt Qiao said with a bitter face: "I have appointed a deputy director, but he is still in the bathhouse! There is no better place than Bingkun Unit.
The same goes for Cao Debao, who has worked in the soy sauce factory for so many years, and is still in the most difficult and tiring slag processing workshop. He doesn't even have a house at home, and he has to live in his wife's natal home. My Chunyan found him, and she also suffered a hard life.
"
Wang Gang said: "Aunt Qiao, don't say that about Cao Debao. He is quite good. He has been a son-in-law for so many years. Hasn't he taken good care of you?"
Aunt Qiao snorted coldly: "If Cao Debao had the ability, he would have moved out with his wife and children long ago, and he would not stay in my house."
A few old ladies sat down and all they could talk about were trivial matters about family affairs. Wang just listened for a while and became bored.
Originally, he wanted to find an excuse to leave, but unexpectedly Aunt Qiao turned the topic to him.
"Suhua, is your Zheng Juan pregnant?" Aunt Qiao said, "She and Bingkun have been married for several years. Do you want to go to the hospital to check?"
Mother Zheng's face looked a little ugly on the spot. She had just lent you the house to live in, and you exposed her daughter's shortcomings. Anyone who heard it would be uncomfortable.
Since Zheng Juan married into the Zhou family, she has been doing well in every aspect. Outsiders can't find any fault with her except that she hasn't gotten pregnant in three years.
Photon Film's neighbors actually had people gossiping behind their backs, saying that Wang Gang married a hen that couldn't lay eggs.
For this reason, Li Suhua often quarreled with her neighbors.
Aunt Qiao mentioned this matter again, and Wang Gang believed that she was unintentional, but Li Suhua and Mother Zheng still felt uncomfortable.
Aunt Qiao seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and quickly made up for it: "My Chunyan knows an old doctor who has great medical skills. She relied on that doctor when she became pregnant with Niuniu. I just want to ask if Zheng Juan wants to see her.
look."
Li Suhua said with a steady expression: "No need, Juan'er just went to the hospital for a checkup this morning. She is already two months pregnant."
Aunt Qiao was even more embarrassed now and could only say: "Juan'er is pregnant! Great, it would be great if I could give birth to a boy this time. Isn't Zhou Rong the only one in your old Zhou family to have a daughter?"
Wang Gang felt that Aunt Qiao's mouth was so outrageous that it would be better for her not to say anything, as it would only offend others.
"It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, I like them all." Wang Gang came out to smooth things over.
"Yes, yes, girls are also very good. I only have three daughters, so it's good to be different!" Aunt Qiao smiled awkwardly.
Li Suhua coughed and said, "I'm worried about Juan'er's pregnancy? You said that Bingkun will go to the university to report in the next year, and Juan'er is pregnant again, how can I take care of her!"
Aunt Qiao was stunned and said: "What college report is that Bingkun is going to college?"
Li Suhua proudly took out Wang Gang's admission notice and said, "Yes! Bingkun's unit recommended that he go to university, and he will go after the Chinese New Year. Fortunately, it is Jiangliao University in Jichun. If he goes to school in other places, our family will not be able to go to university."
What to do!”
Wang Gang knew that his mother actually wanted to show off in front of Aunt Qiao by saying this.
After Aunt Qiao carefully read the admission notice, her whole face looked a little ugly.
She just said that her daughter was promoted and why she was not as good as Wang Gang. In fact, she may not have meant to show off, but Li Suhua immediately took out her son's admission notice and slapped her in the face.
No matter how stupid Aunt Qiao is, she knows that the future of a college student is not comparable to that of a public bathroom director.
She couldn't stay in the Zhou family any longer, so she made an excuse to leave.
Wang Gang knew that Aunt Qiao was known as a loudmouth, and the news about him going to college would soon spread throughout the film.
Li Suhua probably also asked Aunt Qiao to pass it on purpose.
"Mom, you shouldn't tell Aunt Qiao about my going to college." Wang Gang said to Li Suhua.
"Why can't you say good things?" Li Suhua said.
"If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them." Wang Gang sighed.
"What do you mean, I don't understand." Li Suhua didn't even know the words, let alone the idioms.
"It means shooting the first bird." Wang Gang said.
Li Suhua understood now, but asked doubtfully: "Is there anyone else who will harm you?"
"Jealousy can make many people lose their minds." Wang Gang said, "And if I don't go to college, wouldn't you be even more embarrassed?"
"Don't go to school? Why not?" Li Suhua said in surprise.
"Juan'er is pregnant and you are getting older. I don't feel comfortable leaving you here. Although Jiangliao University is in Jichun, it is located far away. I may not be able to come back often."
Before Li Suhua said anything, Zheng's mother stood up excitedly and said: "Bingkun, we have to go to this university, no matter what difficulties we have, we have to go. Although your mother and I are old, we are in good health and can take good care of us."
Juan'er."
"Sister Zheng is right. It is not easy for our old Zhou family to raise a college student. No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it." Li Suhua said firmly.
"But I really don't worry about you. Even if you go to school, you can't concentrate." Wang Gang said.
In fact, Wang Gang is not very concerned about going to college this time. To others, it may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but to him, it is just a matter of delaying it for a year.
The college entrance examination will resume next year, and his child will be born. There will be many opportunities to go to college in the future.
But he couldn't explain these words to Li Suhua clearly. There were many things that he couldn't explain clearly.
Li Suhua suddenly remembered what Zhou Zhigang said before leaving last time.
If a child has a future, parents should not stand in his way.
Li Suhua originally disapproved of these words, but now she really felt her wife's worry.
"You don't have to say it anymore, you must go to this school, otherwise even if I die, I won't be able to see the ancestors of your Zhou family." Li Suhua stood up and said to Wang Gang, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Mom, don't get excited and pay attention to your health. Can't you do it if I listen to you?" Wang Gang said helplessly.
Zheng Juan, who was outside the door, heard everyone's words through the door. She couldn't help but touch her belly, her eyes were red, and she said sadly:
