Chapter 585 Chinese New Year is not peaceful

New Year's Eve.

Several members of the Zhou family gathered together again. Unlike in 76, there was another member on the table today, and that was the one-year-old Xiao Congcong.

And Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng won't arrive until tomorrow, so they won't be able to eat the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve.

Perhaps it was because the family was able to get together and have a reunion dinner, Zhou Zhigang's mood improved a lot, and he no longer thought about the fact that his eldest son could not have children.

"Come on, Bingyi, Bingkun, let the three of us have a drink together."

Both Zhou Chen and Zhou Bingyi raised their wine glasses and had a drink with Zhou Zhigang.

"Bingyi, Bingkun, you are all good. I have been a worker all my life, but I was able to train the three of you college students. My life is considered complete."

Zhou Zhigang said with a lot of emotion, college students, and it is a prestigious university in the capital, before this, he would not have dared to think about it.

But the three children worked hard, and all of them passed the exam.

When he was working in Shancheng, those workers were envious when they learned that all three of his children had been admitted to prestigious universities.

He is a decent and good-looking person, and he also enjoys the flattery of others to satisfy his own vanity.

Therefore, even if it was his youngest son who was not very satisfied and liked before, he was very happy when he learned that he was admitted to university, and he was quite happy that the youngest son turned his back.

Zhou Chen took care of the family and took care of his mother for nine years. He didn't feel that his youngest son was promising much. Instead, he felt happy and honored when he was admitted to university.

It is conceivable that as far as Zhou Chen is concerned, his father is not competent.

It seemed that no matter how well Zhou Chen took care of his family and his mother, that was just as it should be, and he didn't know how to praise him.

Facing Zhou Zhigang's praise, Zhou Bingyi seemed very happy, but Zhou Chen lacked interest.

He had already seen clearly the "true face" of this cheap father, and now he only maintained superficial respect, but in his heart, Zhou Zhigang's impression of him was not as good as Zhou Bingyi's.

No matter how selfish Zhou Bingyi is, no matter how he pleases his father-in-law and mother-in-law, that is his own business.

But he is really filial to his parents, and he is very polite to him.

Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about writing letters. How many letters did Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Rong write to their families in nine years?
In total, it is not more than half of what Zhou Bingyi wrote, and Zhou Rong only had a few letters. Most of Zhou Zhigang’s letters were written by Li Suhua, who asked Zhou Chen to write and send them, and then he replied. .

So Zhou Chen sometimes can't get used to Zhou Bingyi, but in fact he still agrees with him, at least stronger than Zhou Zhigang.

And Hao Dongmei often writes to Zheng Juan, asking Zhou Rui and Zhou Cong, no matter what her thoughts are, but she really puts her heart into it, and Zhou Chen also appreciates it.

At least it is many times better than Zhou Rong's white-eyed wolf.

Feng Yue has been with him for two years. During these two years, Zhou Rong only wrote two letters, one of which was to announce the good news that she had been admitted to university.

In the other letter, Feng Yue was only briefly mentioned, saying that she was a hard-working mother, and that her brother took care of her daughter and so on.

It sounds good on the lips, but there is no actual action at all.

The father and son were drinking, while the three women were holding a child each. Zheng Juan was holding the youngest Zhou Cong, Li Suhua was holding Feng Yue, and Hao Dongmei was holding Zhou Rui.

Hao Dongmei liked Zhou Rui's cleverness and cuteness very much. During dinner, she hugged her all the time, and kept picking delicious food for Zhou Rui.

Guangming was also at the dinner table, but he felt that he was a bit out of place and kept silent all the time.

Zheng Juan looked at her younger brother with distress. For the Zhou family, today was a reunion, but for Zheng Guangming, it was no different from usual, or even worse than usual.

Although she also knew that Guangming was awkward, she still couldn't let Guangming leave, after all, Guangming was her only family member, and she was not at ease if Guangming was not by her side.

After dinner, everyone was sitting in the living room talking. Zhou Zhigang wanted to hug Zhou Cong, but Zhou Cong smelled the smell of alcohol and tobacco on his body, so scared he ran to Guangming's room and went to play with Uncle Guangming.

This made Zhou Zhigang laugh out loud, and wanted to hug Zhou Rui, but Zhou Rui stayed by Hao Dongmei's side and refused to go, and he didn't like the smell of tobacco and alcohol either.

After resting for a while, Zhou Bingyi pulled Hao Dongmei and said, "Dongmei, let's go back first and come back tomorrow."

Hao Dongmei was playing backgammon with Zhou Rui. She was having fun, but she didn't realize it at all. She asked suspiciously, "Where are you going back?"

Zhou Bingyi said: "Go back to your house, didn't you agree with your parents this morning, go to your house to sleep at night, and eat dumplings together tomorrow morning?"

Although his voice was not loud, Zhou Zhigang, who was sitting not far away, heard it clearly, and his face suddenly changed.

Li Suhua didn't have any intentions. Hearing what the eldest son said, he said, "It's so late, why are you running back and forth? It's not that there is no place to sleep at home. Dongmei, let's sleep at home. If it doesn't work, go to your parents early tomorrow morning." Then, do you see it?"

"I don't think..."

Hao Dongmei was about to answer, but Zhou Bingyi pulled her again, shook his head at her, and explained to his mother.

"Mom, she is the only daughter in Dongmei's family. It's hard to have a reunion year this year. Her parents want us to watch the new year together."

Li Suhua was silent for a while. On New Year's Eve, my son came home, but he didn't stay with his biological parents to watch the new year. Instead, he went to his father-in-law's house to watch the new year. What is this?
Zhou Zhigang frowned, but soon let it go.

"Okay, what Bingyi said is right, Dongmei is the only child in the in-laws, so we should go and watch the new year with them. The child is filial, why are you making such a face?"

Li Suhua gave him a blank look, you have said all the good things.

Zhou Chen shook his head, Zhou Bingyi will become a filial son of the Hao family in the future, and he will also be related to Zhou Zhigang.

It is said that Zhou Bingyi was cautious in Hao's house, deliberately trying to curry favor, so what's the difference between Zhou Zhigang?

He also deliberately flattered the in-laws of the provincial officials, and it was precisely because of his permission that Zhou Bingyi felt it was right when he was doing these things and making these decisions.

If Zhou Zhigang had been tougher and educated Zhou Bingyi well, Zhou Bingyi, a filial son, might not have gone too far like in the TV drama.

How to say that sentence, like father, like son, follow the example...

In the end, under Hao Dongmei's reluctant gaze, Zhou Bingyi took her and left the Zhou family.

As soon as Zhou Bingyi and the others left, Li Suhua's face immediately turned down.

"It's all about you. Bingyi finally went home. You didn't let him stay at home to watch the new year, but he insisted on going to his in-laws. What is that? Bingyi is not a son-in-law."

Zhou Zhigang: "Hey, you little old lady, why did you say such a thing, please don't say it in front of Bingyi again."

Li Suhua replied angrily: "I'm uneducated, but I'm not stupid. I just thought that people like us Bingyi, who are so proud, can't even be at home. I feel bad."

"Okay, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Zhou Zhigang scolded impatiently, although he also felt that it was not good to do so, and it might make the elder son's attitude too low.

But compared with his son's future, he still cares about which is more important.

That's a high-ranking official in the province, a big man who manages a province, as long as he supports his eldest son a little bit, won't he be able to flourish in the future, soaring into the sky?
For the sake of the future, what's the matter with being wronged now? Their family came from a time of suffering. Could it be that their time was still suffering?
Zhou Zhigang felt that there was nothing wrong with his thinking. He was thinking of his son. Not to mention great, but it was also a father's deliberate decision.

If Zhou Chen knew that he thought this way, he would definitely despise him even more. He is his own son, and pushing his own son out is really terrible.

Seeing that something was wrong between Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua, Zheng Juan asked Li Suhua in a low voice: "Dad, Mom, shall we still observe the New Year's Eve tonight?"

Zhou Zhigang wanted to get angry, but facing Zheng Juan, he suppressed his anger.

"I won't keep it anymore. After taking such a long train, my waist is sore and my back hurts. Let's take a rest first."

Li Suhua snorted: "It would be better without you, an old man, anyway, we came here like this a few years ago."

"you……"

Zhou Zhigang walked away angrily, closed the door of the room heavily, and hid in the room alone, sulking.

Zheng Juan said worriedly: "Mom, Dad is angry, go and persuade him."

But Li Suhua said angrily: "What kind of persuasion? He asked for it. It was the same thing when he came back last time. This time it's the same. He can't even eat a meal."

The old lady was really angry. A good wife and mother like her has a very strong tolerance towards her husband. Under normal circumstances, no matter what happens to Zhou Zhigang, she will not be angry, and she is more coaxing.

But today she was really dissatisfied. The eldest son finally came back, but he went straight to his father-in-law's house when he came back yesterday. After the reunion dinner today, he was still the same.

Is this the Zhou family reunion, or the Hao family reunion?
It's not that she is stingy, it's that this matter makes her feel aggrieved for her eldest son and for the old Zhou's family.

It stands to reason that Zhou Zhigang should be the most dissatisfied with this matter, but Zhou Zhigang, instead of stopping it, agreed with it, which made the good-tempered Li Suhua no longer spoil her.

In fact, she felt even more aggrieved. In nine years, she saw her husband and her eldest son twice, but both times she was unhappy because of her husband.

Last time it was because of the youngest son, this time it was because of the eldest son.

And she also found that the problem between the husband and the youngest son, since the husband came back for such a long time, the two have not had a direct conversation. Is this the way a normal father and son should get along?
She knew her man, but she also knew her youngest son. She also tried to persuade him, but in the end, it didn't work at all.

These years, if she hadn't had her youngest son and daughter-in-law, plus her two eldest grandsons and granddaughters, she wouldn't have lived so comfortably.

So she was very dissatisfied with her husband's throwing face as soon as he came back.

In the past, she loved the eldest son and daughter the most, but now, she prefers the younger son.

Filial piety is not what you say, but what you have to do. The youngest son is particularly good at this point, and the youngest daughter-in-law is a model daughter-in-law.

On the contrary, it is the eldest daughter-in-law, even if she is the daughter of a high-ranking official, but in her eyes, she is not as good as the younger daughter-in-law. As for the son-in-law whom she has never met, she has no affection at all.

Zhou Chen didn't know that the old lady was thinking so much. Seeing that the old lady was unhappy, he walked over to hug her.

"Mom, it's Chinese New Year, why are you angry? Let's watch the New Year together happily. You see, when you get angry, Ruirui and Yueyue dare not speak."

Li Suhua stared at him, and poked his head with his fingers.

"You still have the face to say it. How did I tell you to tell you to talk to your dad properly? How did you do it?"

Zhou Chen laughed awkwardly, and said aggrievedly: "Mom, it's not entirely my fault. You have seen Dad's attitude. I am afraid that I will choke if I say a few more words. It will be even more ugly then? Let you more sad?"

"It's all excuses. I think you are still dissatisfied with your father. You said you are also a father. Why can't you understand your father? It is not easy for him. It is him who can raise the three of you." Your father is the one you three children should be most grateful for, and you have been traveling around all these years and can’t even return home.”

"I know."

Of course Zhou Chen knew, but the problem is that everything Zhou Zhigang did was based on the original Zhou Bingkun. Since he crossed over, Zhou Zhigang gave him the feeling of selfishness, eccentricity, and masculinity, so he has a particularly bad impression of Zhou Zhigang .

He always chooses to ignore people he doesn't like.

In the end, it was still the same as last year. It was still Zhou Chen's family, together with Guangming and Li Suhua, watching the new year together. Zhou Zhigang stayed in the room and never came out.

People, sometimes it's really weird. It's hard to get together once, but there are always various problems, and it ends up being unpleasant.

One night passed, and I don't know what Li Suhua said to Zhou Zhigang, or Zhou Zhigang figured it out, or his favorite daughter wanted to come back.

In short, he woke up early in the morning, full of energy, and pulled Zhou Rui and Feng Yue to play together with a smile on his face.

There was only one more Zhou Zhigang for breakfast, but there was a lot more food. The family ate the first meal of the New Year in harmony and peace.

"Bingkun, Xiao Rong and the others will arrive in the afternoon, you and I will pick them up then."

Zhou Chen refused: "I won't go, you can ask elder brother to go with you, I have something to do in the afternoon."

As soon as Zhou Zhigang heard it, he immediately became angry: "What can you do? Your sister has only come back once in so many years and asked you to pick it up. What do you mean by pushing back and forth?"

Li Suhua saw that the father and son were doing it again, and hurried over to stop it.

"What's the matter, what's the matter with you two?"

Zhou Zhigang pointed at Zhou Chen angrily: "Ask your precious son, I asked him to pick up Xiaorong with me, but he refused to go, and said to let Bingyi go, when will Bingyi come back?"

Li Suhua glared at Zhou Chen, "You kid, can't you speak well? You must make your father angry."

Zhou Chen was quite speechless, didn't he want to say it? Zhou Zhigang didn't give him a chance at all, didn't ask him, and just started complaining.

After training Zhou Chen, Li Suhua then explained to Zhou Zhigang: "Bingkun does have important matters this afternoon. When Bingyi comes back later, you ask Bingyi to pick up Xiaorong with you."

Zhou Zhigang was still angry: "What can he do? Xiaorong only comes back once in nine years. What can be more important than this?"

Li Suhua also felt helpless for Zhou Zhigang's violent temper. Zhou Zhigang was not like this before. For some reason, he became so irritable when he returned home twice.

"Isn't it because of you? Don't you really want to take a family portrait? But the photo studio doesn't open until the eighth day of the lunar new year. Bingkun went to the publishing house in the afternoon to ask someone to bring a camera to take a family portrait for us."

"Take a family portrait?"

Zhou Zhigang was stunned. Li Suhua was right. His biggest wish these years was to be able to take a family portrait with the whole family when he returned home during the Chinese New Year.

Especially after having two grandchildren and a granddaughter, this idea is even stronger.

But about this matter, he just chatted with Li Suhua last night, and never told Zhou Chen at all, but the youngest son was going to find someone to take pictures. Could it be because when he came back the year before last, after he said it, the youngest son Remember it?
For a moment, Zhou Zhigang suddenly felt a little ashamed, but he was soon overwhelmed by him. I am his father, why should I feel guilty?

Li Suhua continued: "That's right, a family portrait. When Xiaorong comes back, our family will be together. This is the first time since [-]. Bingkun works in a publishing house, so we can borrow a camera. We will need more Take a few family photos, and when we get old in the future, we will be able to remember the present through photos.”

Just thinking about it makes me feel beautiful.

Zhou Zhigang was obviously very moved, he was the one who first proposed to take a family portrait, so he was even more eager than Li Suhua.

"That's fine. When Bingyi comes back, I'll ride with him to pick up Xiao Rong and Hua Cheng."

After finishing speaking, he instructed Zhou Chen: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, let people come over to take pictures, and remember to bring some gifts there."

Zhou Chen replied lightly: "Understood."

This seemingly impatient tone made Zhou Zhigang frowned again, and he realized that this little son was really sent by God to punish him, and it could drive him to death.

After lunch, Zhou Chen left home, but he didn't ride a bike, because Zhou Zhigang and the others had to pick up the bike in the afternoon, but luckily the distance wasn't too far.

The camera belongs to the publishing house. Zhou Chen has been in the publishing house for so many years, so it is easy to borrow a camera.

Cameras are not cheap these days. Although they can afford them, Zhou Chen feels that they are not very useful, so he never thought about buying one himself. It is unnecessary.

It's just a family portrait, and it doesn't require much advanced technology. When the time comes, you can directly ask your neighbors to help you take pictures, and you don't need to ask your colleagues to go back with him.

After getting the camera, Zhou Chen didn't go back directly, but went to the store to buy some gadgets, which he planned to bring back for the children to play with.

When he got home, Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi had already brought him back.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw a small figure rushing towards him.

"uncle."

Feng Yue hugged Zhou Chen's thigh tightly and hid behind him.

Zhou Chen hugged Feng Yue suspiciously: "Yueyue, what's wrong?"

Feng Yue didn't speak, just buried his head in his arms.

At this time Zhou Rong came over, followed by a strange man.

Nine years have passed, and Zhou Rong has changed a lot. When she left, she was only a girl less than 20 years old, but now she is nearly [-] years old.

Sentimental and immature has been replaced by mature beauty.

Wearing a red down jacket with flowers, it looks really beautiful.

Behind her is a middle-aged man with black eyes, a crew cut, and a black padded jacket, looking refined.

Zhou Chen just glanced at him and lost interest. Feng Huacheng should be 40 years old this year, and Zhou Rong looks very young even though he is nearly [-]. The two stood together and went out to say that they were their father. Girl, some people may believe it.

"Bingkun, long time no see."

When Zhou Rong saw Zhou Chen, she immediately felt a little embarrassed, and then hurriedly introduced Feng Huacheng who was behind her.

"Hua Cheng, this is my younger brother, the great poet Zhou Chen you have always admired; Bing Kun, this is your brother-in-law, Feng Huacheng, he is also a famous poet just like you."

Feng Huacheng walked up to Zhou Chen very enthusiastically, stretched out his hand and said, "Bingkun, hello, I have heard Zhou Rong talk about you a long time ago, but I have never had the chance to meet you. When I saw you today, you are indeed a good-looking talent at a young age. I can write so many good poems, much better than I did back then."

Reaching out to not hit the smiling face, Zhou Chen stretched out his hand to shake him, called out 'brother-in-law' flatly, and then there was no more text, which made Feng Huacheng quite embarrassed.

Zhou Rong was very dissatisfied with her younger brother's attitude. Just now, when her mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law met Feng Huacheng, they were very enthusiastic, but it turned out that her younger brother had such an attitude.

"Bingkun, what's the matter with you, your brother-in-law is talking to you."

Zhou Chen said coldly: "Did I not respond?"

"you."

Feng Huacheng held Zhou Rong, who was about to get angry, and smiled apologetically, "It's okay, it's the first time I've met Bingkun, so it's good to get acquainted."

But Zhou Rong is a stingy person. She didn't worry about it any more, but said to Zhou Chen very dissatisfied: "Bingkun, how do you teach children? When Yueyue sees us, she avoids us and doesn't follow us." Why are you so rude when you speak?"

Zhou Chen suddenly laughed angrily, "How do we teach children? I want to ask you, what are you doing, Yueyue has been in our house for two years, and you have written two letters in total, and you have mentioned her Once, I haven't seen you for two years, and I want her to get close to you as soon as we meet, and use your brain, is it possible?"

Zhou Rong said angrily: "Bingkun, why did you talk, so much resentment, who is it for? I sent Yueyue back, but there is nothing I can do."

"You have no choice, then don't accuse us of taking care of the children. If you don't like it, then take Yueyue back by yourself and fulfill your responsibilities as parents."

Zhou Chen's merciless reprimand caused the expressions of everyone in the room to change suddenly.

Feng Yue suddenly hugged Zhou Chen tightly and cried loudly: "Uncle, I don't want to go with them, uncle, don't drive me away, I want to be with you, I want to be with Ruirui and brother Congcong ,I do not go."

Zhou Rong, who was already very angry, turned red when she heard her daughter's cry, and Feng Huacheng was also embarrassed and at a loss.

Seeing that his daughter and son-in-law were in embarrassment, Zhou Zhigang, the father, came over and scolded Zhou Chen in dissatisfaction.

"Bingkun, your sister and your brother-in-law just came back, what's your attitude? What right do you have to blame them, Yueyue is not entrusted to you alone, isn't your mother taking care of her too?"

To be able to say such eccentric words, Zhou Chen really refreshed his impression of Zhou Zhigang once again.

Even Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were embarrassed for Zhou Zhigang.

Zhou Chen was annoyed: "She didn't take the daughter she gave birth to herself, but entrusted her mother to take it. Dad, do you think this should be done?"

Zhou Zhigang said confidently, "Is there anything wrong with parents taking care of their daughter?"

Zhou Chen said: "You don't need to bring it, of course you can say anything, anyway, you don't need to work hard if you move your lips."

"Zhou Bingkun."

Zhou Zhigang was furious, and directly called out Zhou Chen's name. Li Suhua rushed out when he saw something was wrong.

"What are you doing? It's hard to get together once. Do you have to break up to be happy?"

Zhou Rong complained: "Mom, it's not us who are making trouble, it's Bingkun, look at his attitude, Hua Cheng and I finally went home for a year, and when we came in, we threw face, how could we offend him, he wants to treat him like this us?"

Zheng Juan came over at this moment, and apologized to Zhou Rong: "Sister, I'm sorry, Bingkun has been very angry and has a bad temper these days, I apologize for him, I'm sorry."

"Juan'er."

Seeing that Zheng Juan wanted to bend down and bow, Zhou Chen grabbed her and scolded angrily, "Who asked you to apologize? What qualifications does she have to ask you to apologize? She helped her take care of her child for two years. She should be with you." Apologize."

Zhou Rong's face turned blue and white for a while, which was very ugly.

Zheng Juan was angry and anxious, and complained in a low voice: "Bingkun, what are you doing, it's Chinese New Year, sister and the others just came back."

Zhou Chen said coldly: "Is that the reason for coming back? Didn't you hear just now? After I came in, she complained to me before I said anything. We worked hard to help her take care of the child. She was chic outside. When I came back Blame us for not taking the child well, saying that the child is rude, is this what a mother should say?"

"Bingkun, you, oh."

Zheng Juan was so anxious that she didn't know what to say, she knew that this reunion year would be difficult, because she was very aware of her husband's dissatisfaction with her elder sister, let alone there was a father-in-law who didn't like her husband next to her. Together, there is no problem if we don't make trouble.

It's just that she didn't expect that it would be so ugly when they first met.

Zhou Bingyi walked over bravely, and said to Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, it's alright, it's New Year's Eve, do me a favor, Juan'er, take Yueyue back to the room first, and go play with Ruirui and the others."

Zheng Juan took Feng Yue from Zhou Chen's arms, and looked at Zhou Chen with pleading eyes, which made Zhou Chen feel uncomfortable. He was so angry that it was indeed embarrassing for Zheng Juan, who is his daughter-in-law, but this tone, he really Not going well.

Zhou Bingyi pulled Zhou Chen, turned his head to look at Zhou Rong, and said seriously: "Xiao Rong, Bingkun's words were a bit aggressive, but it was indeed your fault just now, and Bingkun and his wife kindly helped you take Yueyue and take Yueyue away. Yue is so good, you have no right to blame Bingkun, your sister is unqualified, apologize to Bingkun, and let it go."

Feng Huacheng was the most embarrassing one. When he met Zhou Rong's family for the first time, he made a fuss like this. His thoughts were the same as Zheng Juan's, and he just wanted to end the quarrel as soon as possible.

But Zhou Rong kept a straight face, not to mention apologizing, she didn't even look at Zhou Chen, her temper was stiff.

Zhou Zhigang wanted to speak, but Li Suhua forcefully stopped him. In order to let the family enjoy the New Year in peace, the old lady is now hardened.

She feels that the conflict between siblings is fine if the father doesn't stop it, and you can't help your daughter bully your son, it's more appropriate for the eldest son to be a peacemaker.
