Zhou Bingyi murmured: "Bingkun, you should know that in Jichun, I didn't live at home, but I went to Dongmei's house."
"You don't need to remind me about this. How can I not know that you live in Courtyard No. 1?" Zhou Bingkun glanced at Zhou Bingyi with disdain, "The key is which Courtyard No. 1 you live in. Even if we want to find you, can we get in? Even if we do
If we really go in, if we really go to Hao’s house to find you, aren’t you afraid that your father-in-law and mother-in-law, who dislike you and your poor relatives, will come looking for you?”
"Bingkun, Dongmei's parents are not like that."
Although he agreed in his heart, Zhou Bingyi still helped the Hao family to explain forcefully.
"You don't have to explain to me whether you are that kind of person. We don't have any contact with the Hao family. You know what kind of people the Hao family is."
Zhou Bingyi's face was full of embarrassment again, and he helped Zhou Bingyi gain some face, and then Zhou Bingkun continued: "Stop talking about these useless things, just tell me, what are you doing here this time?"
"My mother asked me to come over. She said that we would have a family reunion sometime and everyone would go home for dinner."
It's not surprising that Zhou Bingyi only found Zhou Bingkun because of Li Suhua. If you think about it, Zhou Bingyi took the initiative to find Zhou Bingkun. Most of it really came from Li Suhua's orders, and it was the same this time.
"Isn't it just to go back and have a meal? Eat as soon as you want. Why are you talking so far and asking me why I won't notify you when I come back? What's the use if you just like to talk so much about useless things. Set a time and let us know.
No, that’s it. If we don’t arrange anything else when the day comes, and we wait until we have dinner, we’ll be done with it!”
The three children of Lao Zhou's family all have this awkward relationship, and Zhou Bingyi is quite hypocritical. He doesn't speak directly when he has something to say, but has to be polite first.
Zhou Bingyi smiled bitterly and said: "Then it will be the day after tomorrow. It will be my turn to take care of mom the day after tomorrow. Dongmei and I will prepare at home, and you all will come back for dinner."
"Okay, let's go back the day after tomorrow. Are we done talking? Just go back after we've finished talking. I know you're busy, so I won't keep you at home for dinner."
The relationship was not good, so Zhou Bingkun did not treat Zhou Bingyi politely.
Among the three children of the old Zhou family, there is the issue of a common parent, Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua, in the middle. Otherwise, there would really be no need to connect with each other.
…
On the appointed day, Zhou Bingkun and his family returned to the Zhou family's old house.
This time the people are quite complete, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei have arrived.
Zhou Rong, Feng Yue and Cai Xiaoguang were also there. Seeing the room packed with people, Li Suhua became happy:
"How nice it is to have a lot of fun together as a family. The only thing missing from our family is that your dad hasn't come back yet."
"Mom, it's not just my dad who's missing. You also have a son-in-law who hasn't come back. You're too outsider to talk like this. Feng Huacheng is Zhou Rong's husband after all. Mom, you can't completely regard him as an outsider."
Whether it was Li Suhua's slip of the tongue or Cai Xiaoguang's care during this period, Li Suhua completely regarded Cai Xiaoguang as his son-in-law, and Zhou Bingkun even reminded him.
I don’t know how it happened, but Cai Xiaoguang also came to attend the family gathering requested by Li Suhua.
Whether Zhou Rong took the initiative to invite or Cai Xiaoguang shamelessly came to visit, Zhou Bingkun felt that it was not that suitable.
When he was out of sight, Zhou Bingkun didn't care. Now that he was close to him, Zhou Bingkun couldn't help but say something.
"Yes...Mom made a mistake. Yueyue's father is also a member of our family. All it takes is your father and Feng Huacheng to gather together in our family."
Li Suhua said casually and perfunctorily, as Zhou Rong began to ignore Feng Huacheng, Feng Huacheng no longer had any status with Li Suhua.
"Zhou Bingyi, when you informed me, didn't you say that this was our family gathering?"
Zhou Bingkun looked at Zhou Bingyi who was busy cooking on the stove and asked, testing Zhou Bingyi's attitude.
"It's a family gathering, but Xiaoguang and we have known each other for so long, and he has taken care of mom for so long, so he is not an outsider."
Zhou Bingyi also quite recognized Cai Xiaoguang, which can only be said to be unexpected but reasonable.
Ten years ago, everyone in the Zhou family thought that Zhou Rong would marry Cai Xiaoguang.
In the eyes of the Zhou family, Cai Xiaoguang was Zhou Rong's original match, and Feng Huacheng was just a latecomer.
"Yes, I can't be considered an outsider. I have already called Aunt Zhou, and I am now Auntie's son." Cai Xiaoguang was beside him, nodding happily in response.
"Mom, when did this happen? When did you have a son and I didn't even know about it?"
"This has only happened not long ago, and I haven't even had time to tell you. I just recognized you a few days ago. Xiaoguang will also be my son and your brother from now on. Xiaoguang and I are in love, even if we can't become mother-in-law and son-in-law.
, we can still be mother and daughter." Li Suhua said happily.
Zhou Bingkun was still quite murmuring about Li Suhua's act of recognizing her as a prostitute.
The original situation was that Li Suhua wanted Zhou Bingkun and Qiao Chunyan to have a relationship, so he accepted Qiao Chunyan as his daughter-in-law.
Now because Zhou Bingkun got married too early, Li Suhua lost Qiao Chunyan as her goddaughter.
But what should be there will still be there. Li Suhua, who lost her goddaughter, got herself a godson.
"Hey, this is a happy event. It's noon today and I should have a drink to celebrate." Hao Dongmei didn't know what the situation was, so she blindly agreed.
"Yes, I called you all here today to make an announcement to you." Li Suhua said, "Bingkun, why don't you look very happy?"
"There's nothing to be unhappy about. If you want to admit it, just admit it. We can discuss it on our own terms. As long as you're happy with the rest."
Zhou Bingkun didn't think this was a good thing, he just thought it was very complicated.
Although Cai Xiaoguang is not a bad person, he is definitely not a good person.
Zhou Bingkun still doesn't want to be directly involved with Cai Xiaoguang.
Li Suhua's eldest son Zhou Bingyi is the chef, and his godson Cai Xiaoguang helps cook.
A table full of vegetables was also served, including pot-roasted meat, stewed fish, stewed chicken, pickled white meat, tomatoes mixed with sugar, cucumbers, eggplant boxes, and fried vegetables.
Zhou Bingyi and Cai Xiaoguang still have something in common. They are both for women and have practiced good cooking skills.
In the Northeast, the place where gentlemen need face the most.
It's quite rare for old ladies to sit around chatting and watching their gentlemen cook.
Both of them are ruthless people, and they both put aside their dignity for the sake of women.
Zhou Bingkun's family just came here to eat, not to chat or cook.
After the meal was ready, Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan sat on the table and prepared to cook.
Thinking of leaving immediately after finishing the meal, Li Suhua fulfilled her wish.
Eat the food when you are told to eat, and drink when you are told to drink. After waiting for the food to pass three rounds and the wine to taste the fifth taste, Zhou Bingyi still revealed that he was so enthusiastic and helped organize this party:
"You've eaten and drank very well today! After we've eaten and drank, it's time for us to talk about business."
When Zhou Bingyi said this, everyone put down their chopsticks and waited for Zhou Bingyi to get down to business.
After seeing that everyone's attention was attracted, Zhou Bingyi continued: "It's also what we talked about before, how to take care of mom after the summer vacation."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Bingyi looked at Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingkun, looking back and forth.
"You don't need to look at us. What do you think? Let me think about it first."
Zhou Rong refused to speak and could not let Zhou Bingyi continue to look at it. Zhou Bingkun could only cooperate and ask.
"You have all seen how Mom's leg is recovering now. It's okay to move around on your own, but it's definitely not possible for Mom to live alone. She has to do things like fetching water and pouring swill every day.
, Mom can’t do it, so Mom must still have to be cared for by someone around her.”
"Yes, we have all seen this situation."
Cai Xiaoguang answered and said that he really no longer regards himself as an outsider.
"Last semester, we all missed a lot of courses. You have all seen the result. We were delayed for more than half a month. Zhou Rong will have to make up for the exam after school starts. So, if we continue to take leave this semester,
If Ji Chun comes to take care of Mom, she will fall behind even more in her studies and may not be able to make up for it. So, I think we should let Mom follow us to live in Beijing. Mom, please tell me first, what do you think?"
"I'm going to Beijing with you? I've never been there, so what am I going to do?"
Li Suhua looked surprised. It seemed that Zhou Bingyi had not communicated with Li Suhua in advance.
"Mom, you don't have to do anything when you go to Beijing. You go to live in Beijing so that we can take care of you. Your legs have recovered well now, and you don't need anyone to accompany you all day long. Come live with us in Beijing and spend your spare time with us.
Then we can take care of you, and it won’t delay our studies, so we get the best of both worlds.”
Without thinking for too long, Li Suhua agreed happily: "Okay, mom will be here for you three children all her life. She will go wherever you are. As long as it is for your own good, she can live wherever she wants.
.”
"Zhou Rong, what do you think about Mom going to live in Beijing?" After dealing with Li Suhua, Zhou Bingyi began to name Zhou Rong.
"Of course I am willing for my mother to go to Beijing to live closer to her. Why don't I agree?" Zhou Rong agreed happily at first, and then showed a troubled look on her face: "It's just that my mother has gone to Beijing. Where will she live?"
The problem is, our home is such a big place and it’s difficult for our family of three to live there. I really don’t know how to arrange for my mother to live there.”
Of the three Zhou brothers and sisters, only Zhou Rong's family has a house in Beijing. Zhou Rong is obviously afraid that Li Suhua will need to live in her own home, which will affect her quality of life.
"It doesn't matter where mom lives, we can always find a solution. Your attitude is that you want mom to go to Beijing?" Zhou Bingyi confirmed.
After Zhou Rong nodded, Zhou Bingyi looked at Zhou Bingkun.
"I have no objection. Mom can live wherever she wants. After all, mom has to live with you, and of course she will follow your arrangements. Just tell me directly how much money and effort I need for mom to live in Beijing.
"Zhou Bingkun said proactively.
"Bingkun, I want mom to come back to Beijing with us this time. We won't be able to find a place to live at this time."
When Zhou Bingyi asked this question, Zhou Bingkun wanted to know. As for where Li Suhua went to live in the capital, Zhou Bingyi probably had his mind set on Zhou Bingkun.
Although Zhou Bingkun does not have his own house in Beijing, he rents a small courtyard with three rooms.
The whole family squeezed together and deprived the daughter of her room, but they could still accommodate Li Suhua.
"It's nothing. I can go back a few days in advance and arrange a guest house for my mother first. It's impossible for my mother to have no place to live in the capital."
Before Zhou Bingyi could arrange Li Suhua to his home, Zhou Bingkun said it first.
If Li Suhua is really allowed to live in Zhou Bingkun's house, the job of taking care of Li Suhua will definitely fall on Zheng Juan again.
Zheng Juan is such a kind person, and if she wants to live with Li Suhua, it is impossible for her to see Li Suhua left alone and ignored.
Therefore, if Li Suhua and Zhou Bingkun's family are allowed to live together, this gap must not be opened.
"Zhou Bingkun, doesn't your house have three rooms? You can't let mom live in one room!"
Zhou Bingkun blocked Zhou Bingyi's mouth, but Zhou Rong jumped out.
It was obvious that the brother and sister still refused to give up. They seized the opportunity and wanted to leave Li Suhua to the care of Zhou Bingkun's family.
"Zhou Rong, if you say so, why don't you let mom live in your house? Although the small courtyard I rent has three rooms, you haven't seen that my family has a large population.
There is no place as comfortable as the building you live in. It has running water, gas stoves, and heating. There is a toilet in the corridor, which is only used by a few families. You don’t even need to use the public toilet. It’s not as convenient as our home. Although the place is
It’s not big, my mother doesn’t require a big place, just a bed can be placed in the house for my mother.”
In this era, people are pursuing the pursuit of living in buildings. Even the Tongzi Building of Zhou Rong's family sounds more upscale and classy than the small courtyard where Zhou Bingkun lives.
"Zhou Rong, Bingkun, you two should say less."
After Zhou Bingyi said that, Zhou Bingkun saw Zhou Bingyi winking.
Turning his head to look at Li Suhua, he saw that Li Suhua's face was extremely gloomy.
It was the first time that the old Zhou family had an argument about their parents in front of Li Suhua.
This issue was brought to the surface. Li Suhua originally thought that the children just had a bad relationship with each other.
This time I was pushed back and forth by Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Rong in person.
It also made Li Suhua understand what kind of people his children are, not just because they have a bad relationship with each other.
The relationship with my parents is not as good as I imagined, and I am not as filial to my parents as I imagined.
"I don't need you to take care of me anymore. I will stay in Jichun and at my own home." How could Li Suhua not have any temper? After shouting, she silently shed tears, feeling very sad.
"Mom, what are you talking about? You keep Jichun by yourself. How can we rest assured with your physical condition? Zhou Rong and Bingkun are indeed in difficulty, and their intention is not to be reluctant to live with you."
"Godmother, how could it be that Zhou Rong doesn't want to live with you? She has told me so many times that she will take you to live together if conditions permit. What she likes most is that she can live with you."
Cai Xiaoguang also quickly comforted Li Suhua. It didn't matter whether he was telling the truth or not. It couldn't be Zhou Rong's true thoughts anyway.
