The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 262
The five members of the Zhou family finally returned to the optical film, and ran into old acquaintances before they got home.

"Is this Zhigang? I'm going home for the Chinese New Year this year!"

"Yo! It's Lao Wang! I heard that your daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson for you!" Zhou Zhigang responded happily.

"This is Bingyi, you're back too! And bring your wife back with you?" Old Wang glanced at Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei and said with a smile.

"Yes, this is Bingyi and his wife. My Rong'er will come back in a few days. This year, our old Zhou family can finally have a reunion year." Zhou Zhigang said with a smile.

Neighbors in the neighborhood for decades, and they haven't seen each other for many years, Zhou Zhi just chatted endlessly.

"It's still Lao Zhou who is capable. Not only is he excellent, he is an eighth-level bricklayer, and the children he raised are also the best. Your family Bingkun is going to college. You are so happy!" Lao Wang said.

"It's the child's own ability." Zhou Zhigang grinned happily to his ears.

"Okay, don't disturb your family reunion, I'll visit your home to celebrate the New Year in a few days!" Old Wang still had good eyesight, seeing Wang Gang and Zhou Bingyi carrying big and small bags, he didn't chat with Zhou Zhigang for too long.

On the way home, the group met many old neighbors, who praised Zhou Zhigang for his good fortune, and his son was capable and filial, which made Zhou Zhigang very happy.

Zhou Bingyi, on the other hand, could have been happy to listen to it, but when he heard it, he found that the neighbors kept praising his younger brother, and liked to use him as the eldest brother to compare the excellence of his younger brother, so his expression became unnatural.

Hao Dongmei was the first to notice that her husband's expression was wrong, and Li Suhua was the second.

"My family Bingyi has also been promoted in the army and is a leader." Li Suhua deliberately publicized Zhou Bingyi among his neighbors.

Only then did the neighbors praise Zhou Bingyi, which eased his expression a lot.

No matter how dull Zhou Zhigang was, he found that the eldest son was unnatural, and he lost the interest in showing off, so he quickened his pace to go home.

It's just that Wang Gang is too popular in the optical film recently, and he praises everyone he meets, so he inevitably ignores Zhou Bingyi's feelings.

Fortunately, he is magnanimous and has a calm personality. After a small adaptation period, he is at ease.

Wang Gang had a panoramic view of everything, but he didn't intend to intervene, otherwise it would be easier for Zhou Bingyi to think that he was showing off.

After the five returned home, Zheng Juan greeted them.

"Dad, Mom, you are back, you have worked hard all the way!" Zheng Juan brought five bowls of ginger soup and said, "Drink a bowl of ginger soup first, to get rid of the cold."

Zheng Juan gave it to Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua first, then Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, by the way called Big Brother and Sister, and finally Wang Gang.

"Juan'er, you've been busy all morning, take a break!" Li Suhua said distressedly to his daughter-in-law.

Although Zheng Juan didn't go to the train station, she was not idle at home. She prepared a large table of dishes for Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi and his wife to clean up the dust. Zheng's mother helped, and she almost went back after seeing that she was busy.

"Mom and Dad, are you hungry! The food is hot on the stove, and you can eat it right out of the oven." Zheng Juan said virtuously.

"Zheng Juan, you are pregnant, so don't rush around. Sit down and let's do it ourselves." Zhou Zhigang looked at Zheng Juan's belly and smiled from ear to ear. It was the third son of his old Zhou family. On behalf of it!

However, Zhou Zhi just turned his gaze after two glances, possibly worried about causing misunderstanding.

"Bingyi Bingkun, you guys bring out the dishes." Zhou Zhigang directed.

"Dad, let me do it!" Hao Dongmei felt that as a daughter-in-law, it was not good for her not to work.

"No, you've been on the train for a few days, go and rest! Just let Bingyi and Bingkun do it." Zhou Zhigang was always too polite to Hao Dongmei, and he didn't seem to treat his daughter-in-law at all.

"It's okay, Bingyi and Bingkun are also quite tired, I'll go and help." Hao Dongmei said.

The three of them quickly took out the food from the stove and put it on the dining table. There were vegetables, meat, and ten white flour steamed buns.

Hao Dongmei obviously wanted to play a good daughter-in-law, but she really didn't do much housework, and Zhou Bingyi helped her more often.

After the family sat down, there were no other guests, and they started eating directly. After all, Zhou Zhigang and the three of them had been on the train for a long time, and they couldn't eat or sleep well.

Li Suhua and Wang Gang went to the train station early in the morning, and they were also very hungry.

At the dinner table, Zhou Zhigang observed his two sons and daughter-in-law while eating.

To be honest, they haven't seen each other for six years. He and his eldest son Zhou Bingyi are inevitably estranged, and his eldest daughter-in-law Hao Dongmei can only be called a stranger.

On the contrary, the youngest son and daughter-in-law, Zhou Zhigang, are closer, not only because they came back three years ago, but also because of Li Suhua's attitude.

Li Suhua is more affectionate to her younger son and daughter-in-law who have been with her all the time. This is also human nature. Feelings are all out of place, and ten fingers have different lengths.

"Bingkun, after the next year you will report to the university, what are the arrangements at home?" Zhou Zhigang asked.

Wang Gang put down the steamed buns and said, "I'm going to pay for a nanny to do the housework."

Zhou Zhigang pondered for a moment, then said: "That's fine, I really can't think of a better way."

Zhou Bingyi heard the words and said: "Dad, otherwise I will go through the recovery process and go back to Jichun to take care of my mother!"

Hao Dongmei frowned slightly, but it eased quickly. She understood what her husband was thinking.

Zhou Bingyi is a filial child, conditions did not allow it before, but now his younger brother's family is facing difficulties, he has to go to college, and has a child. Naturally, he can't take care of the elderly. As the eldest son, it is inevitable to make some sacrifices.

"Bingyi, why do you want to recover? I can run and jump, and I can take care of myself." Li Suhua put down his chopsticks and said.

"Mom, you have been taking medicine for high blood pressure, how can we rest assured that you can take care of yourself." Zheng Juan said while rubbing her stomach.

"I discussed it with Bingkun before. If it's really not possible, then don't want this child. We'll talk about it after he graduates from university."

The people at the table looked at Zheng Juan in surprise. They didn't expect her to say such a thing. Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua didn't say anything, but Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei stood up first.

"The child must be born." The couple said in unison.

Except for Wang Gang, everyone looked at Zhou Bingyi and his wife suspiciously.

Wang Gang knew that Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were probably the most nervous about the child, because Hao Dongmei was infertile and destined not to have a child of her own in this life.

But they didn't dare to speak out about it, so it was quite embarrassing to just stand there. Fortunately, Zhou Zhigang didn't think too much about it and let them go down the stairs.

"Bingyi, Dongmei, sit down first." Zhou Zhigang cleared his throat and said:
"Actually, after I received Bingkun's telegram, I have been thinking about how to solve the current plight at home."

Zhou Zhigang turned his head to look at Zheng Juan and said, "First of all, this child must be born, no matter what difficulties there are, the child is the first, and no one is allowed to mention the matter of killing the child in the future."

Zheng Juan was a little scared when Zhou Zhigang stared at her.

Wang Gang held Zheng Juan's hand and said to Zhou Zhigang, "Dad, Zheng Juan just didn't think about it for a while. We finally decided to keep this child and pay for a nanny."

Zhou Zhigang nodded and said, "Juan'er, don't worry, my old Zhou family will never abandon the child no matter how difficult it is. As for the money for the nanny, I will pay for it."

Li Suhua smiled and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry about money. The family has been using the money earned by Bingkun all these years, and the wages sent back by your father have not changed at all. After a few years, there are still thousands of yuan. It is enough to hire two nannies." .”

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly improved a lot.

The current Zhou family is different from the one in the TV series. Leaving aside Wang Gang, Zhou Zhigang earns 99 yuan a month, and he can save a lot in a year.

Li Suhua usually helps Zheng's mother paste paper boxes, and he can get more than ten yuan, which is more than enough to hire a nanny.

"I agree to ask a nanny to take care of mom, but dad can't pay the money." Zhou Bingyi said: "I'll pay the money!"

Li Suhua smiled and said: "Bingyi, you and Bingkun are both good children, it's good to have this kind of filial piety, we still pay for the money, you young couple should also save some money, there will be many places where money will be used to have children in the future."

Zhou Bingyi was a little embarrassed, and Hao Dongmei was even more embarrassed. She was a little bit on pins and needles now.

When she came back this time, Hao Dongmei was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid that Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua would mention having a baby.

When she was working on the farm, she accidentally fell into a well and froze to death. The doctor told her that the chance of pregnancy was slim.

Zhou Bingyi originally planned to tell his parents that he had a problem and could not have children, so as not to embarrass Hao Dongmei.

Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua have lived their whole lives, and they can tell at a glance that the eldest son and daughter-in-law have something hard to tell.

"Bingyi! You and Dongmei have also been married for three years, when are you going to have a child?" Li Suhua asked the eldest daughter-in-law with no plans.

Hao Dongmei was so startled that she couldn't say anything.

"Mom, Zheng Juan is just pregnant. If Dongmei also has it, our family really can't take care of it." Zhou Bingyi planned to use the procrastination formula, and it would be a day if he could procrastinate.

"Anyway, I decided to hire a nanny. It's not the same to take care of one or two. If Dongmei can conceive, it will be a great joy for my old Zhou family." Li Suhua sighed: "Your father and I are also worthy of Zhou's ancestors." Zong."
