A trip starting from the courtyard

Zhou's old house
Before they knew it, the new year was coming to an end, and everyone in the Zhou family had to go their separate ways, from work to school, from work to school, and after this departure, they would not be able to reunite again until a few years later.

Mother Zhou silently packed the luggage for her wife and granddaughter. Zhou Zhigang was sitting on the kang, smoking cigarettes, one after another. point."

Zhou Zhigang glanced at his daughter, hummed, took two more puffs, and put the pg in the ashtray. Zhou Rong saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so she took the initiative to pick a light topic.

Zhou's father is 53 years old this year, and he will reach the retirement age in two years. At that time, she and her eldest brother also graduated from college. Enjoy Qingfu”

Zhou Zhigang was worrying about his eldest son, but the girl felt more distressed when she mentioned this, and the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, she moved down the kang with a sullen face, put on her shoes, put on a cotton coat, and said, "Let's go for a walk." ' and pushed the door out of the room.

Zhou Rong was a little dazed. After thinking about what she said, she turned her head to look at her husband. Feng Huacheng shook his head slightly. Since last night, the old man has become taciturn. It should be related to the uncle, but what is the specific matter? He couldn't figure it out either.

"Dong dong dong" there was a knock on the door. Fu Lili stood up and opened the door. Seeing her father-in-law standing outside, she said in surprise, "Dad, why are you here? Come in."

"I happened to be passing by, so I came to have a look." Zhou Zhigang walked into the room and looked around, "Is Bingkun there?"

"It's upstairs," Fu Lili yelled at Xiaodou Sprout, telling her to call Wang Lidong down.Little Bean Sprout, who was lying on the stove to warm up, immediately ran up the stairs, and after a while, Wang Lidong came downstairs.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"My son's house, I can't come?"

Wang Lidong sat down on the sofa, "Yesterday you sent a message to God in front of me"

Fu Lili saw that her father-in-law looked a little ugly, so she kicked him lightly, and then said to Father Zhou, "Dad, sit down first, I'll make you some tea."

Wang Lidong took the Huazi on the coffee table and walked around. Zhou's father took it and lit a cigarette, "Where are they, Little Watermelon?"

"upstairs."

"Dad, drink some tea." Fu Lili served hot tea, "I'll call Little Watermelon and the others."

"No need, I'll leave after a while." Zhou Zhigang took the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Where are your parents?"

"At home." Fu Lili said hello and went upstairs, the living room fell silent, Wang Lidong saw that Zhou's father didn't speak, so he picked up the newspaper on the table to check the time.

After the three little Doudings went downstairs, the noise in the living room resumed.

After Zhou Zhigang played with his three grandchildren for a while, he looked up at the time, and it was almost eight o'clock, "Bingkun, go to the study, there is something I want to talk to you about."

The two entered the study room, and after they sat down, Zhou's father chatted about Zhou Bingyi and his childhood, and chatted for a long time. The conclusion is that Zhou Bingyi has been very kind to him since he was a child, and he will never forget any good things. His younger brother.

Wang Lidong quietly watched his performance.

Zhou Zhigang patted his thigh and said with emotion, "Ah, you don't know how many neighbors envy me for having two good sons."

"I didn't expect that after so many years, you still remember so clearly." Wang Lidong took a puff from the smoke, "However, several things have nothing to do with me, for example, Zhou Rong was not the one who caught the fish and fell into the river. Wet my pants, and I was beaten by you when I went back.

And the big brother fights because of Zhou Rong, I was only in the fifth grade at that time, and I was not in the same school as the two of them."

Zhou Zhigang's face was slightly stiff, and he took two puffs of cigarettes, "cough cough cough", "Really. Cough cough, look at my memory, old man, it's useless."

"Tell me, what's the matter with coming to my house this late at night."

Zhou Zhigang picked up the teacup, drank two sips of tea to moisten his throat, and said nothing about the elder son's infertility, and then talked about the purpose of coming today to let him adopt a son to Zhou Bingyi .

"Is it your idea or Zhou Bingyi's idea?"

"What Zhou Bingyi, that's your elder brother."

"My son is going to be robbed. It's polite for me to call him by his name."

"It's what I mean, your brother doesn't know yet."

Wang Lidong chuckled, "Dad, it seems that you haven't adjusted your position yet. Although Zhou Bingyi is your own son, you can't be his master. His father-in-law, mother-in-law, and even Hao Dongmei's words are worse than yours. weighty.

You have self-knowledge, don't take it for granted, it's only been a few days since the second day of the Lunar New Year, how can you learn a lesson, don't fall in the same place! "

It's the opposite!

The son actually turned to teach the father a lesson?
Zhou Zhigang was furious, he stood up and was about to slap him, but Wang Lidong stretched out his arms to hold him back, "I said something wrong, so why are you slapping me so hard? There is a wrong and a debtor, Zhou Bingyi did the crap, if you want to slap him, you will slap him." .

But his status is different now, the second-in-command’s son-in-law, the good son of the Hao family, it’s up to the owner to beat the dog, but it’s not up to you, a father, to discipline him.”

Zhou Zhigang was so angry that his face turned pale, he couldn't beat him again and again, he couldn't win when he scolded him again and again, and finally yelled "Nizi, Nizi" and left the study with a wave of his hands. Seeing that her father-in-law didn't even say hello, Fu Lili burst out angrily After leaving the house, there is no need to ask, the father and son quarreled again.She got up and went into the study, "What does your father want from you?"

"Zhou Bingyi couldn't have a baby, and wanted to snatch my son, but I refused, so he was upset."

Fu Lili had a big mouth, and the news was really shocking, so she hurriedly asked what was going on, Wang Lidong was playing tricks, "Zhou Bingyi lied to my dad, saying that he is not healthy enough to have children."

"It's not that your brother has a problem, but that your sister-in-law can't give birth?"

Wang Lidong gave a thumbs up, "My wife is smart, she answered correctly."

"Then why did your brother lie to your father?" In this day and age, family succession is very important. Zhou Bingyi is the eldest son of Zhou. "Even if you tell the truth, your father probably won't force your brother to divorce, right?"

"Impossible, unless Zhou Bingyi doesn't want to mess around anymore. If my dad didn't talk about the matter of the second year of junior high school, he must be very unhappy in his heart. This matter is like a thorn in his heart.

When seeing Hao Dongmei in the future, she won't show her face, but it won't be any better either.Hao Dongmei was wronged at the Zhou family, will her parents feel at ease?

The two are Zhou Bingyi's golden thighs. If the golden thighs are angry, how can he live a comfortable life in the future?
But with such an operation, my parents will definitely feel guilty. The incident in the second year of junior high school is over, and they will be more kind to Hao Dongmei in the future.

This is one, and the second is to please the parents-in-law.What happened in the second year of junior high school shows that Hao Dongmei's parents don't see the old Zhou family at all, and Zhou Bingyi's status in the Hao family can be imagined.

But Zhou Bingyi took the matter of infertility on himself and made such a big sacrifice for his daughter, Hao's parents must have changed their attitude towards him."

"You always like to think things into conspiracy theories. Your elder brother and sister-in-law have such a good relationship. I think your elder brother did this because he was worried that your sister-in-law would be wronged at your house."

"There is definitely a relationship, but the relationship between the two is so deep that Zhou Bingyi can accept the result of cutting off children and grandchildren." Wang Lidong put his arms around his wife and said, "If Hao Dongmei is as beautiful as you, then I still believe it."

Fu Lili gave him a coquettish look, "Nicky."

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the Zhou family set off on their own journeys. Feng Yue cried and wanted to go back to her uncle's house with her grandmother. Zhou's mother was also very reluctant, and planned to discuss with her youngest son and continue to let Feng Yue live in his house, but was rejected. Zhou Rong and his wife rejected it, firstly because the cost of living was too expensive, and secondly because they could not embarrass themselves.

Zhou Bingyi sent Zhou's father and younger sister's family to the train, and stayed at his mother-in-law's home for a few more days. Hao's parents learned that their son-in-law had become sterile, and their attitude towards him was much better than before.

Zhou's mother returned to her youngest son's house with a small cloth bag on her back. Seeing Zhou's mother return, Xiao Douya flicked her tail like a windmill, and her thighs finally came back.

Time flies, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed. Xu Dudu grew up from a little girl to a bright and intelligent girl. She was admitted to the Fine Arts Department of Harbin University with excellent grades and became an alumnus of Wang Lidong and Fu Lili.

Zhou Rong did not fulfill her promise to return to Jichun after graduating from university, but continued her studies and became a graduate student of Peking University. Although Feng Huacheng became the deputy director of the library, the house he was allocated was only a small single room, more than ten square meters. A family of three, the husband and wife are overwhelmed by all kinds of chores, there is a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days
Zhou Bingyi returned to Jichun after graduating from university, and was assigned to work in politics to engage in theoretical research.

In 84, Zhou's father retired honorably and returned to Jichun for the elderly. After half a year at home, he was really not used to the days of eating and waiting to die, so he asked his connections to find a job. , such a good craftsmanship, it is too wasteful to work for others. The eldest son is a small official in the government, and the younger son's business is getting bigger and bigger. Based on the relationship between these two people, they can pull a small engineering team and work as a small foreman , can pass the time, and work is not tiring.

After hearing this, Zhou's father also felt that it was reliable, so he found more than [-] craftsmen from the optical film, and formed a small construction team. With their exquisite craftsmanship and good reputation, the business became more and more popular, and they worked for a year. It has become a million-dollar household for optical text.

The Zhuoyue (Group) Machinery Manufacturing Auditorium was crowded with people, colorful flags were fluttering on the outer wall of the auditorium, and a red cloth banner "Celebrating the official start of the Zhuoyue Iron and Steel Plant" was hung on the door, which was very lively.

A group of high-ranking officials from Jichun and the province went up to the rostrum to speak one after another. Wang Lidong sat under the rostrum, chatting with Da Mao's partner Andre.

In his senior year, he used his saved manuscript fees to set up Zhuoyue Machinery Manufacturing Company, and through his father-in-law, he got to know a second generation of Damao. He imported various ordinary old machine tools from Damao at a low price, and carried out refurbishment and numerical control. Retrofitting, with similar performance, the price is [-]/[-] cheaper than imported similar machine tools, and it becomes a 'best seller' as soon as it is introduced into the market.

The scale of the company increases every year. At the end of 85, the company's annual sales exceeded 2 million yuan. Wang Lidong made a lot of money. As his partner, Andre was also full of oil.

After several years of cooperation, the friendship between the two is more real than US dollars. In 85, Wang Lidong spent a small sum of money, persuaded Andre to help matchmaking, and borrowed 5 million rubles from Damao Bank for the construction of Zhuoyue Steel Plant. For the project, all design services and production equipment are provided by Da Mao, with a loan period of 12 years and an annual interest rate of 6.5%.

After completion, it will produce 80 tons of iron, 92 tons of crude steel, 15 tons of seamless steel pipes and 65 tons of steel billets annually.

Just at the end of last year, the first phase of Ming Jewelry* project started construction. The investment in the first phase was as high as 130 billion Si Hai.

They are all super-large steel projects, one north and one south, very topical, no need for experts, as long as the IQ is online, you can see that the input and output of Joyo’s project is not as good as that of the Mingzhu project, and the interest rate is also higher than that of the Mingzhu project. For this reason, many people secretly called Wang Lidong a 'bad boy'.

Wang Lidong didn't take these ridicules seriously at all. If it wasn't for his lack of strength, he would have been willing to borrow hundreds of billions of rubles.

After the groundbreaking ceremony was over, the leaders were respectfully sent off on the road, and their good friend Andre was sent back to the hotel, Wang Lidong finally let out a sigh of relief.In another two years, the company will be on the right track, so finding a professional manager is really too much shit.

After getting into the car, the beautiful secretary Xiaoqin asked, "Mr. Zhou, should we go back to the company or go home?"

Wang Lidong looked at the time, it was already past four o'clock, and after thinking about it, there was nothing serious about the company, "Go home."

The car started slowly, and after driving for five or six minutes, Wang Lidong suddenly caught a glimpse of the 'Jiajiale' hypermarket across the road, looked out the right window, and saw a piece of dilapidated bungalows, which were just his old house in plain text. I haven't visited my old lady for a day, so I asked the driver to drive the car into the parking lot of the hypermarket.

Asking the driver to wait, he took his secretary into the hypermarket, rice, flour, cooking oil, and the Chinese New Year would be in a few days, so Wang Lidong picked out some new year's goods.

While comparing the ingredient lists of the two kinds of rice cakes, someone tapped on the shoulder suddenly. When he turned his head, Chaochao was grinning at him, "Bingkun!"

Wang Lidong put down the things in his hand, glanced at the large group of people following behind him, "Come to patrol the store?"

A few years ago, catching up with and going to Guangdong Province for the National Day became a loser. The business was very good. In the first year, they made more than one hundred thousand yuan, and in the second year, their profits doubled. , covered with golden cuties.

Talking about how much money you have made, but shutting up about where you went last night, is too hateful.It didn't take long for someone to get all the stolen goods in a transaction. In the end, it was Wang Lidong who came forward, and the two escaped the fate of stepping on the sewing machine.

After a big somersault, the two of them were quite sober, and after discussing with each other, they decided to wash their hands and go ashore.But what kind of business to do next, the two had a disagreement, one wanted to open a wholesale city and be a charter company, and the other was fancying a popular hypermarket abroad.

The two couldn't stop arguing, and finally broke up peacefully. After Wang Lidong found out, he invested some money in their business and became a small shareholder.

The two walked to the smoking room of the hypermarket together, chatted about the recent situation, caught up with Xiaoqin who was standing outside the door, and nudged him, "I haven't seen it before, new recruit?"

"Pretty, isn't it? A college student who just graduated."

"Yes, your wife knows about this?"

"My wife arranged for me."

Catch up and look at Wang Lidong's secretary for a while, and feel a little familiar. Suddenly, he slaps his thigh, which looks a lot like Fu Lili. No need to ask, it must be her relative.

No wonder you are so relieved.

"Your wife's...?"

"cousin."

Catch up and send a sympathetic look, "How do you arrange for the New Year?"

"As usual, how about the third day of the new year?"

"Okay! I'll talk about the National Day."

After the two agreed on the meeting place, they left the smoking room and went about their own business.

Wang Lidong picked out the necessities for the new year, settled the bill, and drove to the optical film in the car.The car stopped when it was about 300 meters away from the old house. The road inside was narrow and the car couldn't get in.

"Bingkun is back and came to see your parents again?"

"Well, third uncle is good."

"Yo, did you buy so many things?"

"Just some New Year's goods."

Wang Lidong said hello all the way, and saw someone standing on the roof of his house from a distance, and when he got closer, he could see clearly that Zhou's father was standing on the roof, cleaning up the old and broken tiles and moss, this old man really thought he was still Three 40 years old
