A week had passed until the university started. Li Suhua was tired of riding on the train, so she went to book a house and settle down.
With Li Suhua's inconvenience in her legs and feet, she would definitely not be able to live in the building.
Going up and down the stairs every day is a heavy burden. Zhou Bingkun said that letting Li Suhua live in Zhou Rong's house was just to scare Zhou Rong.
It was impossible for Li Suhua to go, and it was impossible for Zhou Rong to let him go.
If Zhou Bingkun lives there, he likes to be quiet and lives in a small courtyard.
Li Suhua is very lonely. On the contrary, she likes to be lively when she lives there.
After much selection, I chose a large courtyard and rented three rooms in the west wing.
There are more than a hundred people living in a slightly dilapidated and messy courtyard with private and illegal construction throughout the courtyard.
What stands out is that it is noisy and life is full of fireworks.
There is no need to go out of the yard, and you will not miss the lively scenes of family disputes, neighbor disputes, and husband and wife quarrels every day.
When I was looking at the house, I saw a couple fighting in the yard, and Li Suhua fell in love immediately.
After renting the house, Zhou Bingkun took Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong to buy furniture, electrical appliances, and daily necessities for Li Suhua.
Furniture, radios, clocks, fans, washing machines, pots and pans, gas stoves, everything that looked usable, Zhou Bingkun bought.
Even if it was a TV, if Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong hadn't stopped him, Zhou Bingkun would have gotten the tickets and planned to buy one for Li Suhua.
The two of them couldn't bear it anymore, so Zhou Bingkun had no choice but to buy a TV set and take it back to his home to watch.
Instead of making life comfortable for Li Suhua, Zhou Bingkun just seized the opportunity to unleash a wave of blood on Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong.
After the three people shared the cost equally, and calculated based on the property of the three families, Zhou Bingkun injured the enemy 800 yuan and lost 10 cents to himself.
The money Zhou Bingyi recovered from Zhou Rong was directly drained by Zhou Bingkun.
Zhou Rong's family was directly bankrupted by Zhou Bingkun, and they owed a lot of money for famine.
The biggest creditor of the Zhou Rong family is Cai Xiaoguang. If Feng Huacheng cannot afford to repay, he will probably have to pay his wife to Cai Xiaoguang.
Time passed very quickly. One and a half years passed without much feeling, and the Spring Festival of 1981 was soon approaching.
Li Suhua has also completely adapted to the capital. Although she doesn't want to see her three children in the capital, she can see them.
But it is much better than foolishly waiting in Jichunku without a relative coming back.
No matter which one of the three children they are, they can see each other at least once a week.
Zhou Bingkun felt that this situation was quite good. He just paid some money to Li Suhua, went over occasionally to take a look, put in some effort, and did some physical work. This was considered fulfilling his obligation as a son.
Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, in Zhou Bingkun's opinion, probably feel that their current situation is not bad.
After Li Suhua arrived in the capital, although both of them had to sacrifice financially and energetically, they could not show any respect to Li Suhua like before when they went to the mountains and countryside.
No matter what, even if the lives of two people are a little poorer and a little harder than before.
But in general, there is always something to gain, no matter how difficult the life is, how poor the food and clothing are, how tired you are, and how hard the life is.
Neither of them had any impact on their studies. They still successfully entered the last semester of college. It seemed that if they had no other pursuits, they would graduate in half a year.
After the exam, Zhou Bingkun ran over to take a look at Li Suhua. When he entered the door, he saw Li Suhua's face was filled with joy:
"Bingkun, your dad wrote a letter, saying that the project is not so stressful this year, and he can take leave to come back for the Spring Festival this year!"
"It's only been a few years, how come you can come back?"
Although Zhou Bingkun has not seen Zhou Zhigang for several years, he still remembers that Zhou Zhigang just visited him once.
"It's not that short of time, it's already been two years." Li Suhua sighed.
"My dad can take leave after only two years. Didn't we agree on three years?"
"Don't you remember that when your father first went to work in the third line, he agreed that he could visit his relatives every two years? It was because the project was tight and the schedule was rushed, so it was changed to a family leave of once every three years. Now the project is not as good as before
I’m so nervous, the vacation will change to two years, this is the normal time.”
After the explanation, Li Suhua could hear the reluctance in Zhou Bingkun's words: "Bingkun, I heard what you meant in your words, aren't you looking forward to your father coming back to visit relatives?"
"How is that possible? How could I not look forward to his return? I wish he could retire early and be at home every day."
Zhou Bingkun definitely couldn't admit it and didn't want Zhou Zhigang to come back.
The family finally managed to maintain harmony. After more than a year of balance, Zhou Bingkun lived quite comfortably, relaxed and happily.
When Zhou Zhigang comes back, he doesn't know what will happen, which may break the balance.
Although Zhou Bingkun came back to visit relatives for a short time, his attitude was that he did not want Zhou Zhigang to come back.
But if Zhou Zhigang comes back from retirement, Zhou Bingkun is really looking forward to it.
No need to ask, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong must also hope that Zhou Zhigang can retire and go home.
If the old couple can be each other's companions, there will basically be no need to worry about them unless anything happens.
"That's fine. That's your dad. No matter what the differences between you two are, you can't help but see your dad. Aren't your school exams over? Now you can have a holiday after the results come out. You can go home and clean up.
Prepare some things and let’s go back to Kyrgyzstan to celebrate the Spring Festival together.”
"Are you going back to Kyrgyzstan to celebrate the Spring Festival this year?"
Last year, Li Suhua didn't go to Beijing for long, and her legs and feet didn't recover as quickly as this year, so she stayed in Beijing to celebrate the Spring Festival.
Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Bingyi left a few days late a year ago and came back a few days early a new year. During the New Year, there was Zhou Rong who did not return to the auspicious spring. Li Suhua was not lonely and lived a happy life.
"Your dad finally took a family leave. Of course we have to go back to our own home in Jichun. Is it possible that we still need him to come to the capital to find me?"
Li Suhua's traditional concept of going home to celebrate the New Year is still a bit heavy.
"It's not impossible. The old man has been traveling around all his life, but he has never even been to the capital. That's not a pity. He can definitely come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with you."
Let Zhou Zhigang come to the capital to celebrate the New Year with Li Suhua, and then Zhou Bingkun and his family return to Jichun to celebrate the New Year. They are completely staggered. This is the ideal situation that Zhou Bingkun hopes for.
Zhou Bingkun also believed that if Zhou Zhigang did not go back to Jichun, he would not be able to do much in the capital if he was not in the territory he is most familiar with.
But this ideal state, when Zhou Bingkun thought about it, was immediately rejected by Li Suhua:
"How is that possible? Since we are going to reunite, of course we have to go back to our own home to celebrate the Spring Festival. I haven't been back for more than a year. I also miss Jichun, the neighbors, and our house.
I wonder how our house is doing now that no one has lived in it for so long?"
Li Suhua, like everyone else, has a strong sense of ruralism. Only a place where you have your own house can be called home. This is also the reason why real estate will have such a market in China in the future.
Li Suhua obviously has great feelings for the house that she and Zhou Zhigang built by themselves.
"You don't have to worry about the house. Didn't Zhou Bingyi say that during the summer vacation, he went back to Jichun and let people live in the house?"
"It's been half a year since there was anyone here. Let's go back a few days early to tidy up the house and prepare the New Year's goods. It's time for your dad to come back."
Li Suhua advised Zhou Bingkun to go back to Jichun to celebrate the New Year. Zhou Bingkun went back to Jichun every year except for the Spring Festival of 1979 when Zheng Juan was in poor health.
Even if Zhou Zhigang had to go back to Jichun to celebrate the New Year this time, Zhou Bingkun was not so satisfied, but he was not afraid that Zhou Zhigang would not dare to go back.
There is no need to persuade Zhou Bingyi to return to Jichun. Hao Dongmei is in Jichun, and his mother-in-law and father-in-law are in Jichun. Even if he wants to go up mountains of swords and into seas of fire, there is no way Zhou Bingyi will not go back. This is what Li Suhua personally tested during the Spring Festival last year.
What is a little difficult is that Zhou Rong's family is not so willing to go back to Jichun for the New Year.
With the current situation of Zhou Rong's family, we have to consider financial issues.
Zhou Rong doesn't care about this, but Feng Huacheng still has to consider it.
A trip back will cost money for food, clothing, housing and transportation. In order to save Zhou Rong's face, she must spend a lot of money.
It's not like in the capital, where you can spend the Spring Festival just by looking at the welfare provided by your work unit, giving out rice, flour, grains, oils, and some meat, and it costs almost nothing.
Of course, Feng Huacheng's status in Zhou Rong's family is not that high, and Zhou Rong is still in charge.
Zhou Rong couldn't stand Li Suhua's persuasion, so she responded to her old father's call and returned to Jichun to celebrate the New Year.
Feng Hua became the famous "family of three" for Zhou Rong, Cai Xiaoguang and Feng Yue. He showed up less often, but he still bit the bullet and agreed to follow him back to Jichun.
Lao Feng is already quite old, and now he has no spare tire waiting for him, and the little girl admires him.
Even though Zhou Rong has exposed a lot of bad habits now, Feng Huacheng no longer thinks highly of Zhou Rong.
But in order to have a wife and a family, Lao Feng obviously doesn't want to lose Zhou Rong at this moment.
Isn't it just a lack of money? Write a few bad poems and put them in various magazines. Lao Feng has his previous reputation, so he can still earn a little bit of bad money.
Feng Huacheng could no longer care whether writing bad poems would damage the reputation he had managed to accumulate in the past.
It became a lot more realistic that everyone was being forced by Zhou Rong.
…
"Bingkun, are you taking the sleeper berth again?"
This time, because Li Suhua was following him, Zhou Bingkun took a bus back to Jichun with Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong.
"That's right. If I don't take a sleeper berth, do I have to be like you and just stand on the ticket? Is it so easy to stand for more than a day?"
"My mother informed me too late, so I didn't buy the sleeper ticket." Zhou Bingyi said awkwardly.
Zhou Bingyi decided to return to Jichun early and bought an ordinary hard-seat ticket.
As the son-in-law of the Hao family, Zhou Bingyi can't even get the benefit of buying a sleeper ticket. This is the Hao family.
It doesn't matter in normal times. Zhou Bengyi is in the prime of life. Although he is a little weak from not exercising, taking the train for more than a day is nothing.
But at this time, Li Suhua also wanted to go back, and Zhou Bingyi couldn't even buy a sleeper ticket, so he had to give up his hard seat.
After things turned out like this, Zhou Bingyi was considered the most useless leader's son-in-law that Zhou Bingkun had ever seen.
After receiving a letter from Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Rong's family and Li Suhua decided to get the tickets before the holiday. It would be good to buy standing tickets after returning to Jichun.
When Zhou Bingkun bought a sleeper berth, of course he used his money ability. After the reform and opening up, his money ability has become stronger and stronger.
The current situation is obviously that Zhou Bingkun wants to give a sleeper ticket to Li Suhua.
Therefore, Zhou Bingkun stabbed Zhou Bingyi a few times, and Zhou Bingyi could only accept it.
Before getting on the train, Zhou Bingkun despised Zhou Bingyi.
Once on the train, there is no chance, no one is in the same compartment.
After giving one of the three sleeper berth tickets prepared by Zhou Bingkun to Li Suhua, the family of four could only squeeze in.
But this is also relative. Compared with ordinary carriages, it may be so crowded that there is no room to stand.
Zhou Bingkun's family consists of two adults and two children, and the two bunks are quite spacious.
Li Suhua, who had seen what Spring Festival travel was like, was quite satisfied after getting on the train. First of all, she expressed her affirmation to Zhou Bingkun:
"Bingkun, it seems that if we have three children in our family, if mom wants to enjoy happiness, she still has to rely on you?"
"Mom, please don't say that. You don't rely on me to enjoy your happiness. Don't just look at this ticket. In the past two years, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong have been taking care of you. Your happiness depends on everything.
It's them."
In the past, Zhou Bingkun thought it was good to be praised by Li Suhua. However, Li Suhua also did not praise Zhou Bingkun and found fault with Zhou Bingkun every day.
After the separation, Li Suhua liked to praise Zhou Bingkun.
But Zhou Bingkun no longer thinks it's a good thing to be praised by Li Suhua. Every time Li Suhua finishes praising him, something always embarrasses Zhou Bingkun.
Even when he was praised, Zhou Bingkun did not receive the treatment that Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Rong agreed to. There was no other purpose than simply praising him without repaying him.
"Mom and you are also blessed. Mom stayed at home with you, and we all enjoyed blessings during the seven or eight years we lived together." Li Suhua said with a bright smile,
Zhou Zhou knew this smile when he saw it. The smile on Li Suhua's face was the kind of limited smile that adults only use when coaxing children.
"Are you enjoying happiness by following me? Since you think you are enjoying happiness by following me, you will choose to live with Zhou Bingyi without hesitation after Zhou Bingyi returns to the city. You don't want to be blessed so much!"
In the past two years, Zhou Bingkun has also improved. When Li Suhua used the method of praising children to trick Zhou Bingkun.
Zhou Bingkun directly criticized Li Suhua. Li Suhua looked embarrassed and couldn't say anything else.
"Bingkun, you know, it's because mom feels sorry for your brother who hasn't been at home for so many years. It's not that she doesn't think it's good to live with you." But this time the situation was a bit abnormal. Even though Li Suhua was embarrassed, she still had to say what she wanted to say.
Come out: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Bingkun, can mom discuss something with you?"
"You said, if it's not difficult, I'll do it for you." Zhou Bingkun didn't dare to say it.
"After your father comes back this year, can you go and admit your mistake to your father?"
PS: Dear bosses, I fulfilled my promise and broke out←_←
I said there will be more updates after the holidays, and there will definitely be more updates, but it happens every day, and I am incapable of rushing into the street. I can only try my best to ensure that there are more updates, and I will post them after I write them. There will definitely be more updates than last month.
