Zhou Bingkun planned to go back to Jichun this summer after graduating from his undergraduate degree.
I may never have the chance to stay in Jichun in the future, so I will miss it if I come back this time.
The weather during the summer vacation is indeed more suitable for returning to Jichun, and the summer heat will not last for a few days.
In the past few years, when air conditioners have not been used by civilians, it is still comfortable to go back to the Northeast to spend the summer.
After going back, I took my children to play around in the summer Jichun.
Zhou Bingkun still went back and took a look at Li Suhua to see how Zhou Bingyi had arranged the old lady's arrangements.
After reading it, I can only say that Zhou Bingyi’s current arrangements for Li Suhua are nothing.
"Your brother's father-in-law has left, and his mother-in-law is sick, so he went to take care of her."
"I have never lived at home. I have always lived at Dongmei's house to accompany my mother-in-law."
"Bingkun, mom lives alone and lonely. She doesn't even have anyone to talk to. She feels like she's in trouble."
"I want to chat with your Aunt Qiao. She also wants to bring some of their grandchildren."
"The other neighbors don't like to chat with me either."
That is to say, leave Li Suhua in the Zhou family's old house and take a look occasionally.
"My mother-in-law is sick, so we can't let the son of the 'Hao family' not go and take care of her. He is the only male in the Hao family, so this is what he should do."
"In the city center, with a big villa and a nanny, it's understandable that Courtyard No. 1 is more comfortable than the one we just live in."
"When no one is chatting, you can listen to the radio, the radio, the news, and the opera. It's also good."
"What a good life you have. Aunt Qiao and her husband have to serve a few debt collectors at home all day long. How can you be so free?"
"When you chat with others, mention that your children are college students, the leader's daughter-in-law, and the poet's son-in-law. Naturally, people will be willing to chat with you."
When Zhou Bingkun went back, he comforted Li Suhua and asked Li Suhua to stay with Zhou Bingyi safely.
If you have a son or daughter who is willing to take it in, it would be nice to come back and visit occasionally.
If you still want to treat your grandchildren with sweet treats and have your children and grandchildren around your knees, then you are really thinking too much.
What kind of children are you raising? This is all I want to ask for.
Seek benevolence and you will get benevolence. The children have already given the couple face, so there is no need to ask for anything else.
It was also in the past few years that Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan took good care of the old lady.
When the old lady's living standard goes up, she doesn't want to come down. It's difficult to change from luxury to frugality. She needs to ensure her material aspects and her emotional needs as well.
In fact, as far as Li Suhua's life is concerned, now it is said that it is not as good as the previous ones, but more than enough.
At least the material aspect is guaranteed, which is enough for many old men and women to envy.
Li Suhua's clothes are not bad compared with those of the old ladies in Beijing. She is considered a very well-dressed old lady in Ji Chunguang Picture.
When it comes to food, you can eat whatever you like. Li Suhua doesn't care about food when it comes to money. Money is not a problem that Li Suhua needs to consider.
The accommodation is not bad, one person lives in two rooms, and Li Suhua is very satisfied with living in the house he built.
If this doesn't satisfy you, let's live in two rooms with a family of seventy or eighty people.
Okay, Li Suhua doesn’t have much travel needs. She doesn’t know how to ride a bicycle, and no one dares to let Li Suhua ride a bicycle. If you’re nearby, you can walk to buy vegetables and food. If you’re far away, you can go to a shopping mall by tram or bus. This is basically the case in this era.
The quality is not inferior to others.
After comforting Li Suhua and leaving ten big black ten cards for Li Suhua, Zhou Bingkun left the Zhou family's old house.
"Bingkun, in the past few years since you left, the lumber factory has been no different from before, right?"
Zhou Bingkun, who wanted to feel nostalgic, returned to the Hongxing Wood Processing Factory, the place where he had worked for seven or eight years, and he still felt very emotional about it.
He also came to see Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing. Zhou Bingkun figured out that it would be better to go to the factory to find these two people at home.
You can find two people at once, and you don't have to face the fierce Wu Qian, and you don't have to look at Yu Hong pretending to be pitiful.
Yu Hong is not completely pretending to be pitiful. She has to support her laid-off parents, support her brother and sister, and take care of her sister. She also has children to raise, and the burden is indeed not small.
I know it is not easy to catch up with my family, but who in the civilian family will not have some difficulties, but there is no need to be like Yu Hong, who always wears difficulties, sorrow, and pity on his face.
"There are no changes, but there are more and more people in our factory. There are so many people I don't know in the factory, which can be regarded as 'bigger and stronger'."
Judging from the number of employees, the wood processing factory must be getting bigger and stronger.
But judging from the results, it will be really difficult for wood processing plants to achieve greater success.
"What's the point of making it bigger and stronger? Now there is no work in the factory for more than a month and a half, and people are so idle that they are almost growing hairy. Wu Qian and her restaurants have been contracted by private owners because of poor profitability. Our lumber factory,
If it continues like this, I don’t know if anyone will take over the contract in the future.”
Guo Qing complained that being a gangster in a factory was not an easy job. He was under too much pressure and watched as he lost his job.
"The hotel where Wu Qian works is contracted to an individual?"
"Isn't that right? After the reform and opening up, there were more private restaurants. The business of Wu Qian and others at Chaoyang Hotel plummeted, and there were no customers at all."
"It's understandable. The cooking is mediocre and the service is terrible. If I had a choice, I wouldn't go to this restaurant."
The threshold for opening a restaurant is still a bit too low. Once competition begins, small restaurants like this that don't even have the advantage of cooking will be the first batch to be eliminated from the market.
"After the private owner contracted the contract, the restaurant replaced Wu Qian with young people as waiters. The waiters did not let Wu Qian work, and moved them to the back kitchen as small laborers, picking vegetables, washing dishes, and killing chickens and fish. Wu Qian was so noisy
After Qian came home, she complained every day. "National Day also looked sad. Since marrying his wife, Zhou Bingkun has not seen National Day, and has never been particularly happy.
"Aren't you used to it? Even if the restaurant owner still lets your wife work as a waitress, can your wife not complain?"
Those who are content should think that their units have been contracted and their bosses have been replaced by private individuals. It would be good to keep a job. There is nothing to be content with. So many people still cannot find a job.
"What are you accustomed to during National Day?" Qianchao said, "Bingkun, you are back."
I walked around a lot in the factory, chatting while walking with National Day, and also walked back from the transportation department to the electrician class that Zhou Bingkun is most familiar with, and saw the catch-up.
"I'm back. I'll come to the factory to see you. Of course I'm used to everything during the National Day."
"This is after graduating from college, becoming a cadre, and returning home in glory? So, we will still have cadre friends in the future." Listening to Sun Qianchao's sour words, it must be that something has gone wrong recently.
"I haven't graduated, and I haven't become a cadre yet. I still need to study. If you want me to become a cadre, you have to wait. Besides, don't you two already have cadre friends? Chunyan has been a cadre for many years.
"
"If you think so, we also know Cao Debao, who is also the workshop director."
"Look, isn't this just another cadre friend?"
To be more precise, Qiao Chunyan can be considered a cadre, a serious cadre who works in a government department and has a cadre establishment.
Cao Debao's words are the famous "work instead of work" in the past twenty years.
That is, as a worker, you do the work that a cadre does, but your real identity is still a worker.
"Bingkun, what's going on with you? You have to continue studying. I get a headache just reading the words. Are you still addicted to reading this book?" Guo Qing expressed that he didn't understand.
"Study for another three years and get a master's degree. Depending on the situation later, I may have to study for a doctorate, which will take at least another three years."
Whether Zhou Bingkun should continue to study for a Ph.D. depends on what Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong think.
If either of these two people insisted, Zhou Bingkun would really want to continue reading.
Otherwise, if you quarrel with these two, you don't have enough diplomas and you won't be tough in the quarrel.
"Three years and three years of your life, together they will be ten years. When will it end? You will never graduate, you will always be in school, and you will still be waiting for your Miaomiao at school, so that father and daughter can go to school together.
"
It's a bit exaggerated. Even if Zhou Bingkun studied for a few more years, his daughter would only be in junior high school after graduation.
On the other hand, some students have children who are already seven or eight years old when they go to college. If they stay in school for a few more years, they will really have the opportunity to go to college with their children.
"National Day, you don't understand. People who like reading are really addicted to reading. My family, Xiao Ning, also likes reading. Now that she has graduated from junior high school, she has the highest academic level in our family. She still needs to continue studying."
"It's a good thing to be able to study. The more you study, the easier it will be to be successful." Zhou Bingkun nodded.
Zhou Bingkun still agrees that children are willing to study more. Zhou Bingkun just thinks that for people like Zhou Rong who have parents and children, family difficulties, insufficient income to support the family, and insufficient energy to take care of the elderly and children, enough is enough and a bachelor's degree is enough.
"It's a good thing, but isn't it true that after my dad retired, I will pay for Xiao Ning's expenses? Going to high school is not only tuition, but also living on campus, which costs a lot of money every year." Qianchao said worriedly.
"Why, is it that you can't afford the money, or is your wife not willing to do it?"
"After I was transferred to the electrician class, my salary was raised by one level. In terms of income, I was squeezed out. I could still afford to support a student. However, my family was inevitably going to have difficulties, and Yu Hong was not happy. Although we did not have the National Day holiday with Wu
Qian also often fights, but she always shows off to me."
"If you don't have enough money, I can still help you a little. If your wife doesn't want it, then I can't help you. I need you to slowly persuade your wife to support your sister in college. Xiao Ning
I will definitely be able to repay you."
It's not easy for Yu Hong to make money. He made it by rubbing his feet in the bathhouse.
Although I no longer work as a foot washer in the bathhouse, I have been transferred to work in a small sugar factory, but it is still hard front-line manual labor.
It's normal not to give flowers to your sister-in-law, and Zhou Bingkun can understand it.
Zhou Bingkun also told the two people about his headache and Li Suhua's troubles that no one wanted to take care of.
The old lady has money and a house, but no one is willing to take care of her. The two of them cannot understand her and have little sympathy.
After the two of them got off work, they went to have a drink together before they separated.
The atmosphere is much better if there are no family members at the gathering, and it is a great time for old friends to get together.
After staying in Jichun for more than a month, not all of them were in Jichun. Zhou Bingkun took his family to travel around Jichun, leaving some memories of his hometown for his children.
Finally, I went to Beituo Temple where Guangming was supposed to become a monk, and saw the master who Guangming was supposed to worship.
He is indeed a kind-hearted, kind-hearted and virtuous person.
The apprentices I accept are all those who cannot survive independently in society due to various reasons.
No wonder he would consider a way out for Guangming, an invisible child.
I left a piece of incense as a token of gratitude and support for Guangming's kindness.
Zhou Bingkun took Aunt Zheng and Guangming back to the capital.
Zhou Bingkun's family, Aunt Zheng and Guangming, moved to the courtyard together.
After getting familiar with the capital for a few days, Zhou Bingkun took Guangming to report to the art troupe.
Aunt Zheng was not idle either and took over the task of taking Guangming to work.
Of course, you don’t have to do this all the time. Although you can’t see it with your eyes, after being familiar with Guangming for a while, Guangming will be fully capable of commuting home by himself.
Zheng Juan's focus has also entered the next stage. Starting from Miaomiao, Zheng Juan's focus in life has changed from raising children to educating them.
Zhou Bingkun is mainly busy studying, and in his free time, he also makes some money.
It didn't take much time to process the output of the small world.
With the money received, I purchased some antiques without spending a lot of time.
Zhou Bingkun's requirements are not high, and his purpose this time is not to make a fortune.
Just keep the value of these things, buy a few high-quality items, and your family will be able to achieve a certain degree of financial freedom in the future.
Three spring and autumn years actually passed very quickly. After three fulfilling years, Zhou Bingkun was faced with the choice of graduation again.
Apart from Zhou Bingkun's own family, Zhou Bingyi may be the most concerned about this matter. Just after June, he called Zhou Bingkun's home: "Bingkun, have you passed your graduation thesis? Can you graduate smoothly?"
"Are you kidding me? I'm not you. How could I not graduate?"
As a graduate student, teaching students at school, taking care of his mother-in-law, and his own mother, Zhou Bingyi has lived a more fulfilling life in the past three years.
The one who really encountered difficulties after graduation was Zhou Bingyi. Even if he is a top student, he still needs to spend time studying. There are too many things to take into consideration, so he can barely graduate.
If Zhou Bingkun hadn't published so many papers just to learn more knowledge, he should have graduated long ago.
Even if he doesn't understand other aspects, Zhou Bingkun is still very good at researching development directions because he has gained more knowledge.
"Then where are you going to work? Are you going back to Jichun?"
"Zhou Bingyi, you should know that my research direction is useless in Jichun."
"Your sister is going back to Jichun. If you can come back, won't our family be able to reunite as a family?"
Through the phone, you can hear the joy in Zhou Bingyi's voice.
"Zhou Rong can't survive in the capital and is going back to Jichun!"
I would rather have a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Zhou Rong is going back to Jichun to make a chicken head, which is not accurate. Zhou Rong will probably be treated as a chicken neck when she goes back.
