Zheng's mother was shocked when she heard that Wang Gang wanted her and Zheng Guangming to move.
"Bingkun, our place is already very good. Guangming and I can live in one room each, so we don't need to move." Zheng's mother shook her head and said.
Zheng Juan came over, hugged Zheng's mother's arm, and said, "Mom, there is water, heating, and flush toilets here, making life more convenient."
Wang Gang added: "The house is big, with five rooms. Zheng Juan and I have one room, my mother and Yueyue have one room, you and Guangming have one room each, and there is one more room."
Zheng's mother said: "Where is Congcong? He is not allowed to have a room, and in case you have a second child, you must prepare an extra room."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Mom, how old is Congcong? When he wants a private room, maybe I will buy a second house."
Zheng's mother knew that her son-in-law was capable and filial, and she had enjoyed a lot of honors in the past few years, but she was always reluctant to ask her to move here.
"Actually, I want to move back to Taiping Hutong." Zheng's mother sighed and finally spoke her mind.
"I can feel that I don't have much time. I want to die in that room in Taiping Hutong."
Wang Gang and Zheng Juan fell silent. She was not the only one who knew about Mother Zheng's body.
The doctor has already said that it is not easy for Zheng's mother to survive until now.
She suffered too much when she was young, and her body organs aged quickly.
"Mom, how can we let you live back in Taiping Hutong?" Zheng Juan's eyes were a little red.
Zheng's mother wiped her daughter's tears and said, "Actually, now that I can see you marrying so well, I am very satisfied. Bingkun is a good man.
I feel relieved that Guangming is being taken care of by you, and I just want to go home before I leave."
After saying "go home", Zheng Juan could no longer hold back her tears. Wang Gang's heart was also heavy.
Li Suhua came over with a cane and said to Wang Gang and Zheng Juan: "Juan'er, if you are really worried, just live back with your mother. Don't worry at home. I am recovering well."
No one knows Zheng's mother better than Li Suhua. She knows that Zheng's mother has no regrets and just wants to go home for the last time. No matter how bad the house is, it is her home.
"It's better to go back to Taiping Hutong after the New Year!" Wang Gang said to Zheng's mother: "Mom, if you stay here these two days, everyone will have a happy New Year."
Zheng's mother did not refuse this time. She could feel that this might be the last New Year she could spend with her family.
At first, everyone was very happy, but because of Zheng's mother's incident, when they returned to Photon Film, everyone except Feng Yue, who was heartless, had a sullen face.
After returning home, everyone started to pack their luggage, only packing daily necessities and bedding. The new home has everything, and there are not many things that need to be moved.
Zheng Guangming had trouble with his eyes, so he took Feng Yue to play with him.
Oddly enough, little girl Feng Yue just likes to pester Zheng Guangming, and is fine with Zheng Juan and Li Suhua. She is only a little scared when facing Wang Gang.
Wang Gang was strict with Feng Yue and did not pamper her at all, so among the whole family, Feng Yue was the most afraid of Wang Gang.
Since there were not many things to pack, they were packed quickly. Wang Gang went to borrow a truck and asked Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qunchao for help.
Since Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao learned that Wang Gang had not gone to college and had lost his job at the magazine, they had less contact with the Zhou family. Even Aunt Qiao rarely chatted with Li Suhua.
Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao, on the other hand, were still the same. They often came to Zhou's house to check in, always asking if there was anything they could do to help.
Wang Gang kept thinking about the kindness they had when they sent Li Suhua to the hospital, and the relationship between the three became better and better.
"Bingkun, you bought a house again? Where did you get the money?" Xiao Guoqing immediately asked his question after learning that Wang Gang had bought a new house.
In contrast, Sun Qianchao was much silent and never asked Wang Gang about the source of the money.
"I will write some articles and publish them in local newspapers, and I will be paid monthly." Wang Gang made a casual excuse, but it was not a lie.
Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao were stunned and did not ask further.
Wang Gang has good writing skills, which is no secret in phototype films. When others say he can earn royalties, they may not believe it, but when Wang Gang says it, they believe it.
The two quickly helped Wang Gang get his luggage onto the cart and then pulled it out of the Zhou family's yard.
As soon as I reached the intersection, I met an acquaintance.
"Bingkun, what's wrong with you? You're moving!" Aunt Qiao came up and asked when she saw Wang Gang.
"Aunt Qiao, my family is moving to Xinyi District, why don't we find something missing?" Wang Gang replied.
"That's a good place in Xinyi District. It turns out that a lot of houses have been built for experts there." Aunt Qiao asked, "Where are you moving to? I'll visit you when I have time."
Wang Gang thought for a while and gave the house number to Aunt Qiao.
Although Aunt Qiao has less contact with Li Suhua recently, Wang Gang knows that she is one of Li Suhua's few friends.
"That's it! I remember that there were mostly single-family buildings there." Aunt Qiao's eyes lit up when she heard the address given by Wang Gang.
"Our home is a single family, so it's easy to find." Wang Gang smiled, said goodbye to Aunt Qiao, and continued pushing the cart with Xiao Guoqing.
From Guangzipian to Xinyi District, it's not far by bicycle, but walking is completely different, let alone a car full of luggage.
The three of them walked for more than an hour before arriving.
"Bingkun, is this the house you bought?" Sun Qianchao was shocked when he saw Wang Gang's new home.
The same goes for Xiao Guoqing. He originally thought that even if Wang Gang bought a house, it would be similar to the old Zhou family in Guangzhou.
"Bingkun, you are so crazy!" Xiao Guoqing joked: "I have always wanted to live in such a nice house in my life."
Wang Gang laughed and said, "Why do you want to pay me so much? My family spent all of their money for this apartment. My father and I have spent all our salary in the past few years, and we still don't know how to survive the New Year."
Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao were right. Zhou Zhigang's salary is high. In recent years, the Zhou family's children have grown up and have jobs. Zhou Zhigang's burden has become smaller and he can indeed save money.
Wang Gang did not deliberately deceive his two friends. The main reason was that he was afraid of telling the truth, and none of the three friends did it.
Once the class gap arises, estrangement will follow, and no matter how hard Wang Gang maintains it, it cannot be changed.
He was mainly afraid that Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao would feel ashamed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This year's New Year's Day party, come to my place! Just in time to warm my house." Wang Gang suggested.
"Sure!" Xiao Guoqing said with eyes shining: "I have never eaten in such a nice house."
Sun Qianchao laughed and scolded: "Why not? Isn't the house in Ma's hometown better than Bingkun's?"
"Can Mr. Ma be the same? He is a great leader." Xiao Guoqing exclaimed.
Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao also knew Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen through Wang Gang, and several of them would go to visit them every New Year.
Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen had no relatives in Jichun, so their home was deserted every year during the Chinese New Year, and they were happy for these young people to come and play.
Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao had finished helping Wang Gang move home. It was already completely dark. Zheng Juan had already prepared dinner. Due to time constraints, the preparation was not rich, so the two of them didn't care.
At the dinner table, Xiao Guoqing made a request to Wang Gang.
"Bingkun, your family celebrates the New Year this year, will you celebrate it at your new home?"
"Yes." Wang Gang probably guessed what Xiao Guoqing was going to say.
"Then you can't live in your old house, can you lend it to me for a few days, and I'll return it to you after the New Year." Xiao Guoqing said nervously as he geared up.
Sun Ganchao on the side couldn't help but light up when he heard Xiao Guoqing's words.
Wang Gang glanced at the two of them and said, "Do you want to borrow a house for the New Year?"
Xiao Guoqing said sheepishly: "Yes, my sister and the others will come over during the Chinese New Year this year. You know, my house only has one room and I really can't live in it."
Wang Gang knew that Xiao Guoqing was telling the truth. With the end of the countryside, many people returned to the city, and housing and work problems became more and more serious. It was common for a large family to squeeze into one room.
In fact, Xiao Guoqing is doing pretty well. The real difficulty is that Sun catches up. He almost doesn't even have a place to live. The house at home is given to his brother to get married.
However, unlike Xiao Guoqing, Sun Qianchao couldn't bear to beg Wang Gang.
Xiao Guoqing actually didn't want to, he was actually forced to do it by his wife Wu Qian.
Last year, Aunt Qiao rented Zheng's mother's house in Taiping Hutong for the New Year. Wu Qian knew about this, and she has been urging Xiao Guoqing to rent the house for the past few days.
"Wu Qian asked you to ask!" Wang Gang and Xiao Guoqing have a close relationship, and they talk much more casually.
"It doesn't matter, our family always listens to me." Xiao Guoqing's face turned red and his mouth was stiff.
"My father built my house by himself, and I have no right to lend it to you."
Wang Gang's words made Xiao Guoqing feel a little sad.
"But my mother-in-law and brother-in-law will move here tomorrow, and Lao Zhangtou's house will be vacant. I can lend it to you for a few days."
When Xiao Guoqing heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Bingkun, why are you breathing heavily when you speak?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Isn't it that I want to explain it clearly to you so that you don't misunderstand!"
"Okay, let's have a drink." Xiao Guoqing picked up the wine glass and said.
Wang Gang looked at Sun Qianchao on the side and said, "Qianchao, your family's situation is similar to that of National Day. Do you want to borrow a house? Anyway, there are two rooms in Lao Zhangtou's house."
Sun Qianchao was stunned and said in disbelief: "Can I do it too?"
"Brother, why are you so polite?" Wang Gang said, picking up the wine glass.
