A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 799
In the early morning of the next day, Zhou's mother kept talking about the birth of a child in Wang Lidong's ear. They had been married for several years, but the little daughter-in-law's stomach didn't move at all. She began to doubt whether the health certificates of the two were fake. "Kun'er, tell mom today, when will mom hug her grandson?"

"Mom, I don't know about this kind of thing." Wang Lidong glanced at the room, and he could guess who wrote it with his toes. Since you are unkind, don't blame him for being unrighteous. In a few words, the topic changed For Zhou Bingyi and his wife, they have been married for more than four years. If you work harder, you will have a second child.

Seeing that the water was boiling, Zhou's mother made dumplings, "Your elder brother said that there are a lot of things in the regiment, and your sister-in-law has just become the head of women, and she will think about having children after two years of being free. "

"The two officials who are bigger than sesame seeds, the ones who are older than them, actively responded to the call of the big leaders and worked hard to have children. I think it is an excuse."

Zhou's mother stretched out her hand and hit him, "No one can worry. It's not like going to the front line to let you have children, one pushes that, and that pushes this again
Don't worry about your elder brother, you and Lili must give me a grandson this year, granddaughter is also fine."

Wang Lidong guarantees that he will put in 120% of his efforts when he shoots the hunks
"Don't just say nice things, mom only cares about the results!"

Another two days later, seeing that the Chinese New Year was about to come, but Zhou's father and Zhou Rong's family had not been seen for a long time. Zhou's mother was so anxious that she almost sent her two sons to the train station.

"It's already a little New Year's Eve, why haven't your father and Rong'er come back?"

Wang Lidong looked at the firewood in the stove, "It's not like this in previous years. Those who celebrate the New Year are all people who go home to celebrate the New Year. The train is so crowded that there are no people who even have a foothold, and they have to jump out of the window when they get off."

Fu Lili, who was cooking, also comforted her, and Zhou's mother opened the lid of the water tank, "Kun'er, there is no water in the tank."

Wang Lidong threw a piece of wood into the stove, took two buckets and was about to go out, when he heard laughter from the back room, he turned his head and saw Zhou Bingyi and his wife eating melon seeds, and the other reading newspapers, very happy .

He was a little upset.

It's been three days since they came back, and the couple haven't even washed a bowl, and they don't touch Yangchun water with their ten fingers. They really treat themselves as uncles.

He pushed open the door of the inner room and kicked the water bucket by the door, "Brother, there is no water in the water tank."

Zhou Bingyi and his wife were taken aback for a moment, and Zhou's mother hurriedly said, "It's rare for your brother and sister-in-law to come back, so let them have a good rest for two days."

"Who is not busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year? In the past few years, I have been working during the day, and I have to go out to earn extra money at night and on days off, 360 five days a year. I am not as tired as the two of them?" Wang Lidong lit a cigarette, "What kind of work?" Don’t do it, just eat ready-made ones, is this treating the house as a hotel?”

Hao Dongmei was extremely embarrassed, she stood up and was about to help fetch water, Zhou Bingyi reached out to grab her, and signaled him to handle the matter, "Zhou Bingkun, I found that you have a lot of opinions on me when you come back this time, and you always speak with a stick. Is it because of Lili?"

"Hehe, when some people encounter a problem, they don't look for the cause on themselves first, but look for the cause on others as soon as possible.

It seems that I have overestimated the quality of both of you. Before you resume your duties, you feel superior to others, acting like a young master or a lady.
"Bingkun!" Fu Lili put down the spatula in her hand, stepped forward and pulled his arm, "Okay, stop arguing!" Mother Zhou dropped the vegetables in her hand, picked up two buckets and walked out, "You all It’s the ancestors, they’re all resting, I’ll serve you, that’s fine.”

Zhou Bingyi gave him a cold look, and dragged Hao Dongmei out, "Mom, walk slowly, the floor is slippery."

Seeing the three of them walking away, Fu Lili patted him, "Your brother and sister-in-law haven't come back for many years, so you can't talk about it in private if you have something to do, and you have to quarrel in front of mom. Do you think you're mad at me?"

"For this kind of people, you have to face to face, face to face, we are not used to their stink."

"It's all because of me"

Wang Lidong asked his wife to stop, "It really has nothing to do with you, it used to be like this, but now it's getting worse."

When the two were talking, Zhou Bingyi lined up with two empty buckets to fetch water at the water point 200 meters away. Hao Dongmei followed Zhou's mother on his arm and talked. Zhou Bingyi saw his daughter-in-law confessed to her mother and apologized, so he took over the conversation and said, " Mom, I'm to blame for this incident today. Dongmei originally wanted to help in the kitchen, but I persuaded her.

Our kitchen is such a big place, if we add her, I'm afraid it won't be helpful and it will add to the chaos.

Unexpectedly, Bingkun was misunderstood.

I haven't seen him for a few years, but Bingkun has changed a lot. If I hadn't watched him grow up, I would have thought my younger brother had been transferred. "

"Who was transferred?" A familiar voice rang in the ears of the three of them. Zhou Zhigang suddenly appeared in front of the three of them. The surprise came too suddenly like a tornado. The warm scene of family reunion added a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

"His dad, didn't he say he would be home on 27, why did he arrive today?"

Zhou Zhigang recalled the few days of journey home, it was really miserable, he didn’t buy a ticket, he stood all the way for three days and three nights, afraid that his belongings would be touched by others, so he didn’t dare to close his eyes, “On the way It was too crowded, and once my right leg was itchy, I picked it up and scratched it, and guess what?"

"What's the matter?"

"After scratching the itch, I couldn't find any open space, so I had to stand alone for more than an hour." Zhou Zhigang spoke all the way back home, saw his youngest daughter-in-law politely said a few words, turned around, entered the room and fell on the kang Going up, within two seconds there was a loud snoring sound in the room.

When Zhou Zhigang woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

He sat up and stretched his waist.

"His father, wash your face first." Zhou's mother handed over a hot towel, Zhou's father took the towel, "Where are Bingyi and Dongmei?"

"They're all in the kitchen, busy with dinner."

"It's rare for the two of them to come back. Why do you still arrange for them to work and ask them to come in and talk to me?" As for dinner, wouldn't there be Bingkun and his wife?

"Bingkun and Lili have gone out and are not at home."

"This New Year's Eve, where did you go?"

"Aunt Lili's youngest son is going to have a happy event for the New Year. Bingkun and Lili have gone to help decorate the new house. At this time, he should be home soon."

Zhou Zhigang wiped his face, put down the towel, came to the kitchen, and praised the eldest daughter-in-law's cooking skills, "Dongmei, thank you for your hard work, there are not many dishes left, you can go in and rest for a while, the rest I will leave the dishes to your mother."

Zhou's mother stepped forward and snatched the spatula from the eldest daughter-in-law's hand, urging her to go into the house to rest. Hao Dongmei glanced at Bingyi, Zhou Bingyi nodded and said, "Just listen to my parents, you go into the house and set the dishes by the way."

"You go too," Zhou Zhigang snatched the job of lighting the fire and drove the eldest son into the back room.

There are only the old couple left in the kitchen, plus a big black dog.

Zhou Zhigang looked at the big black dog lying beside the dining table, its fur was shiny and shiny, and he knew it was well-bred. "When did you get the dog?"

"Bean sprouts, come here."

Mother Zhou smiled and waved to Little Bean Sprout. The big guy walked to Mother Zhou's side unhurriedly, squatted down and sat down, and slapped his tail twice.

Zhou's mother patted Xiao Dou Sprout on the head lovingly, "It's been several years. It's called Xiao Dou Sprout, but it's clever. Whenever a stranger comes, it will call twice. As long as it's our old Zhou family, even if they haven't met, It can also smell."

Zhou's father stepped forward and tried to stroke the dog's head. Little Bean Sprout wagged his tail, and he praised, "This dog is not bad."

"It can also catch mice. It has caught all the mice in the house."

"Oh, I can catch mice too, well, well raised."

The old couple haven't seen each other for many years, so naturally they have endless things to say.After chatting about the family situation in the past few years, the conversation turned to Fu Lili.

In the letter, the youngest son praised his daughter-in-law as a flower, she is beautiful, virtuous, can cook well, can also do needlework, and is also a top student of Harbin University.

He thought it was bragging, but when he met today, he knew he was a cultural person with his temperament and manner of speaking.

"Wow, woof." Little Bean Sprout suddenly called out twice, and within a few seconds, there was a knock on the door.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

"Here, who is it?" Zhou Zhi just opened the door, and saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses standing outside, "Who are you looking for?"

"Is it Zhou Rong's house?"

"Yes. I am Zhou Rong's father."

"Great. Hello, hello." The middle-aged man with glasses smiled and extended his hand, introducing himself, "I am the editor-in-chief of Golden Land Magazine, and my name is Shao Jingwen."

"Please come in, please sit inside." Zhou Zhigang invited Shao Jingwen into the back room, introduced his eldest son and daughter-in-law, and then offered him cigarettes and tea, "What do you want with Zhou Rong?"

"Is that so? I just heard that the famous poet Feng Huacheng is your son-in-law?"

Zhou Zhigang nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes."

"It's like this. Our magazine is going to publish a commemorative special issue." It's a pity that the manuscripts received by the magazine are very mediocre, and there is a lack of an influential article. He found out that Feng Huacheng is the son-in-law of the Zhou family, so he came to try his luck .

"I wonder if Comrade Hua Cheng has returned?"

"I haven't arrived home yet. I told my family that I will arrive on the 28th. Maybe I was delayed on the way."

Shao Jingwen was overjoyed, he didn't expect to be so lucky, he praised Feng Huacheng a few more words, and then left a contact number, telling Zhou's father to call Feng Huacheng to contact their magazine after he came back.

"Today is really presumptuous. I will not bother."

When Zhou Zhigang saw that someone was about to leave, he asked him to stay for dinner, but Shao Jingwen hurriedly refused to come over to eat.

"Walk slowly."

"Stay, stay."

When Shao Jingwen went out, Wang Lidong's family of three happened to return to the small courtyard. Shao Jingwen thought that Wang Lidong was Feng Huacheng, so he stretched out his hand excitedly, "Is it Comrade Feng Huacheng? Hello, hello."

Damn, what look? !

I'm only in my 20s, does he look old?

"Comrade, you have mistaken someone. My name is Zhou Bingkun."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." After Shao Jingwen said a few words of apology in disappointment, he left the small courtyard of the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhigang, who was standing at the door, looked at Xu Dudu beside his youngest son, and asked curiously, "Which family is this little girl from?"

Wang Lidong briefly explained Xu Dudu's situation, stretched out his hand and patted Dudu's head, "Duddu, call me Grandpa."

Xu Dudu called out in a low voice, "Grandpa."

Zhou Zhigang's face turned livid, and he walked into the room with his hands. Seeing Fu Lili's worried face, Wang Lidong grabbed his wife's hand and comforted him, "It's okay, I'll take care of it."

When the whole family entered the back room, as everyone expected, Zhou's father was furious and furious, accusing Wang Lidong of daring to lie to him for four whole years.

No wonder he returned to the optical film today, and many neighbors pointed at him behind his back.

A good young man actually married a divorced woman with children, which completely embarrassed the Zhou family!
The more Zhou's father said, the more angry he became, and he was about to hit someone with his hand. Zhou's mother hurried forward to fight. Apart from being divorced and raising children, the youngest daughter-in-law is really not picky in other aspects, and they have been married for so many years, and the children have grown up , just say a few words.

"Bingkun, why are you still standing there? Apologize to your father."

"I'm married to Lili Mingmei. After blocking the approval, Mom, you also agree. I didn't do anything wrong, so why don't I apologize!"

"Get out of the way, look, this is the good son you taught!"

"When Zhou Rong was in high school, you and your mother asked Zhou Rong if she had a partner. Zhou Rong said at that time that the future love is up to her.

You also made a statement on the chest, allowing her to fall in love freely and not to engage in arranged marriages.

When Zhou Rong eloped, no one in the family told her. I was in an aboveboard and free relationship, and everyone in the family notified me. What was wrong with me? ! "

"Zhou Bingkun, you are enough!" Zhou Bingyi stretched out his hand and pushed Wang Lidong down, "Is there anyone who talks to Dad like this, and Zhou Rong, no matter what you say about your second sister, you are endless?"

Dare to make a move, Wang Lidong is not used to it, he raised his leg and kicked Zhou Bingyi to the ground, "I've been letting you in, you're still going strong! I really thought I could pretend to be garlic when I was a few years older!"

"Zhou Bingkun! How dare you beat your elder brother!" Hao Dongmei hurried forward to help Zhou Bingyi who fell to the ground.

Wang Lidong didn't like Hao Dongmei, but said to Zhou's father, "Zhou Rong eloped with a *gouqi* who was 20 years older. You didn't say anything. Why would I be married if I were a matchmaker? I would embarrass the Zhou family!
A first-generation old worker actually wrote a letter to his family, praising Feng Huacheng, a criminal, as a good person? !

It's ridiculous!

If he was a good man, he wouldn't accept the courtship of a girl who was the same age as his daughter!
Shameless thing!

Pooh! "

Zhou Zhigang got angry, threw away his wife, and kicked Wang Lidong. Wang Lidong turned slightly sideways, Zhou's father stepped on the ground, and "paji" fell into the mud.

"Zhou Bingkun, you are crazy, dare to do anything to Dad?!"

"You're blind! It's Dad who stepped on the ground himself, so I don't care!"

Zhou Zhigang turned over and sat up, pointed at the gate angrily and shouted, "Get out! Get out! I don't have a son like you!"

"Get out! Get out!" Wang Lidong took his wife and Dudu back to his room, and waved his hand, "Move."

He directed the mother and daughter to pack their respective clothes, and he took the two mahogany boxes on the big wardrobe to the ground. Seeing that he was serious, Fu Lili quickly persuaded him to calm down, "Don't make trouble, your father is just angry." talk."

"When people are angry, what they say is more truthful than usual, because at this time, people are the most direct, and they will say everything they usually dare not say or don't want to say, and of course some of them will be exaggerated.

He has looked down on me since I was a child.

The three of us, brothers and sisters, made the same mistake. To Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, he said a few words at most, but he either beat or scolded me.

Do you know why? "

"Why?" Fu Lili opened the closet and packed her clothes. Xu Dudu was in a hurry. Her clothes and all kinds of toys and babies were in the back room, but she didn't dare to go into the back room to pack things by herself, so she anxiously grabbed her mother Clothes, "Mom."

"Because I don't study well, I'll embarrass him. As for Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Rong has been a top student since he was a child, let him look good in front of the neighbors around him," Wang Lidong said to Dudu, "I'll take you to the room to get things later .”

"Oh. What about the little bean sprouts, do you want to take them with you?"

Wang Lidong thought for a while, and decided to let Xiaodou Sprout stay here.

It took an hour to pack the clothes, and took Dudu into the back room. Unexpectedly, the little guy had a lot of things, and there were a lot of bits and pieces. Wang Lidong directly stuffed all the little things into a big chest of drawers. With astonishment in his eyes, he easily picked up the chest of drawers weighing more than 200 catties, and disappeared at the door step by step.

After a while, Wang Lidong appeared in front of everyone again, and almost forgot about the sewing machine. Ever since there was a sewing machine at home, Fu Lili played with it whenever she had nothing to do. It was her favorite thing. Although he was not short of money, he could Do you save if you save?

With red eyes, Zhou's mother followed into the small courtyard, took him by the arm and said, "Kun'er, what your father said just now is so angry, don't be as knowledgeable as him, listen to the mother, put the things back. Ah!"

"Mom, don't try to persuade me. He has disliked me since I was a child, and now I'm finally happy. No one will hold back the old Zhou's family in the future."

Seeing that she couldn't talk to her youngest son, the old lady hurriedly asked Lili to help with the conversation. Although Fu Lili knew that Wang Lidong's heart had been made up, she didn't resist her mother-in-law's pleading, and spoke to persuade him a few words.

Wang Lidong sighed and said, "To be honest, since I was a child, I always wondered if it was your own."

Zhou's mother slapped him, "What nonsense! You were not born by your mother, you were picked up in the trash can."

"I believe it's your own, but" Wang Lidong pouted towards the back room.
"You're an old pimple in our family. There's no reason why your father doesn't love you. He treats you so strictly, and he just hopes you can live up to it."

"Mom, do you believe this when you say it?"

"It's late at night, where are you going to move?"

"Lili's parents left a small house for Lili."

Wang Lidong borrowed a cart from a neighbor, loaded it with all the belongings and tied it up with hemp rope, checked it and found nothing wrong, then waved to his mother, "Mom, it's very cold, come inside. If there is anything going on in the future, tell Catch Up or National Day. Let's go!"

Mother Zhou stood in front of the door, with old tears streaming down her eyes.

Wang Lidong's family of three braved the wind and snow and dragged a flatbed cart for more than an hour to arrive at the home of Jichun Agricultural University.

After moving all the belongings into the house, Wang Lidong looked around and said with emotion, "This will be our home from now on."

Fu Lili leaned on him, "After the new year, when your father and brother go back, mother will be at home alone."

"It's time to see what my mother wants. If you want, you can move in and live with me. If you don't want to, I don't want to go back to the film anyway."

Among the three, the happiest is Xu Dudu's children's shoes. Now she finally has her own room.
Seeing her daughter happily picking up 100 yuan, Fu Lili suddenly thought of something. Her daughter is currently studying in an elementary school near the optical film. If she doesn't transfer to another school, it will take more than 20 miles to go back and forth. "Bingkun, What about Dudu going to school?"

Wang Lidong thought for a while, called Dudu, and asked her if she wanted to continue studying at her original school, or transfer to a nearby elementary school.

Xu Dudu asked, "If you change schools, is the new school far away?"

"Jichun Xiaoxiao, it's only five or six hundred meters away from here."

"Go to the new school."

"You are refreshing!"
