Chapter 105
In the ward, Jin Yueji was lying on the hospital bed, she no longer had the slightest nervousness of the past, she was dying, weak and weak, and it was difficult to even raise her hands.

"Bingkun~~~"

"Is he still refusing to come?"

Looking at Hao Dongmei who was sitting on both sides of the bed, Jin Yueji asked weakly.

Hao Dongmei shook her head, with helplessness written all over her face.

Hao Dongmei, who is now in her late forties, has taken good care of herself because she has never given birth to a child. With a little grooming, she looks like a beautiful woman in her 30s.

But no matter how good the maintenance is, what's the use? Looking at Jin Yueji lying weak on the hospital bed, Hao Dongmei only felt sadness coming from it, a sense of powerlessness filled her whole body, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be contained no matter what.

"Mom! Dongmei!" Suddenly, the ward was pushed away.

"Bingyi!" Hao Dongmei said in surprise, "You're back? Just arrived?"

"Come here as soon as you get off the train!" Zhou Bingyi walked quickly to the hospital bed, put the briefcase in his hand, and asked anxiously, "How is Mom?"

Speaking of this, the tears in Hao Dongmei's eyes couldn't help rolling around again.

"Mom's situation is not good..."

"Dongmei!" Hao Dongmei had just said a few words before being interrupted by Jin Yueji, who was lying on the hospital bed showing a kind smile at Zhou Bingyi, and asked, "Bingyi, where are you going?" Is everything done?"

Zhou Bingyi said: "Mom! Don't worry, the discussion is almost done."

"That's good! That's good!" Jin Yueji breathed a sigh of relief: "Your work is related to the future of the entire military factory and the future of tens of thousands of workers in the military factory. You can't be careless."

"I know Mom, don't worry, everything has been settled this time."

Jin Yueji is still very concerned about the military factory, mainly because Zhou Bingyi is now the secretary of the military factory, and he and the military factory are both prosperous and hurt, and Jin Yueji used the relationship of the Hao family to push Zhou Bingyi to this position.

Hao Dongmei is just a doctor and a gynecologist. Only Zhou Bingyi can inherit the Hao family's network, but if Zhou Bingyi doesn't live up to it, then even if he has the shadow of the Hao family to protect him, it will be useless.

The current matter in the military factory is the biggest test for Zhou Bingyi.

Cheng is flying into the sky and turning into a dragon, soaring into the sky for nine days. If he fails, then Zhou Bingyi's official career will come to an end in this life.

The result of waiting for him is to be transferred back to the Qingshui Yamen like the previous Strategic Development Research Office.

After talking with Zhou Bingyi about the military factory for a while, Zhou Bingyi's answers were well-organized and well-founded, which made Jin Yueji quite satisfied.

Looking at the couple who couldn't hide their grief, Jin Yueji persuaded: "You don't need to be sad, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and I'm already old enough to live enough."

Jin Yueji herself was quite calm.

Hao Dongmei couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed Jin Yueji's hand, and cried, "Mom! Don't say that, you will definitely get better."

"I know my body myself." Jin Yueji smiled in relief, and comforted Hao Dongmei in turn: "Okay, I'm already old, and I still cry like a child."

"I will always be a child in front of my mother."

Looking at Hao Dongmei and letting her hold her hand, Jin Yueji raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, then looked at Zhou Bingyi: "Bingyi, Mom wants to say sorry to you!"

"Mom!" Zhou Bingyi immediately looked flattered and panicked: "Don't say that."

"Hey!" Jin Yueji sighed, and said remorsefully: "As the old saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also kind. This person really becomes more sober at the end. I have many regrets in my life, and I have done it too. There are many measures, but at the end of the day, the only thing I can't let go of is the matter of your brother and Zheng Juan."

"It's because I'm too selfish, too paranoid, and insist on going my own way, which made the relationship between you brothers worse and worse."

"Mom! What are you talking about? It's all over." Hao Dongmei wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, comforting Jin Yueji.

"Yes, Mom, it's all over, and Bingkun and I have settled our grievances." Zhou Bingyi knew in his heart that although Wang Zhong had accepted his apology, the relationship between the two would never return to the past.

But Jin Yueji shook her head, and laughed at herself: "I can't get over it, if it really gets over, Bing Kun won't even want to see me."

"My only regret now is that I couldn't apologize to them in person in front of them." Jin Yueji said sincerely.

"Mom, stop talking, I'm going to get Bingkun here!" Because of this matter, Zhou Bingyi bumped against Wang Zhong's place countless times, no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, Wang Zhong still refused to let go. And the attitude is extremely firm.

"Forget it! Let's forget it!" Jin Yueji said: "Don't bother them anymore, it's fine now, everyone lives their own life, don't disturb each other."

Even so, Jin Yueji's eyes were filled with regret.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei looked at each other.

The couple walked out of the ward with an excuse, and Zhou Bingyi worriedly asked about Jin Yueji's situation.

Hao Dongmei looked sad!The tears in his eyes fell silently: "Mother Gao said that mother's time is running out, maybe... just for a while, so that we can prepare...prepare..."

Looking at Hao Dongmei who was in tears like rain, Zhou Bingyi only felt a pain in his heart. He stretched out his hand and hugged his wife into his arms without saying a word of comfort, because Zhou Bingyi understood that in this situation, a hug that can make Hao Dongmei warm, a hug that can Hao Dongmei's shoulders are worth a thousand words.

"Go back, take a shower and sleep, and recharge your energy. I'll watch over you, Mom." After sobbing for a while, the grievance and discomfort in her heart were almost vented, and Hao Dongmei turned her head away from Zhou Bingyi. He raised his arms from his arms, looked at the skirt that was wet with his own tears, a faint warmth surged in his heart, straightened the skirt for Zhou Bingyi, looked up at him, and said with gentle concern.

Zhou Bingyi's eyes flickered, he thought of something, nodded and said, "Okay! I just go back and change my clothes first."

Summer is no better than winter. In summer, it is hot and easy to sweat. If you cover it for a long time, you will easily smell. Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei did not shirk it. Come on these fake ones.

Zhou Bingyi rushed back to Hao's house, took a shower and changed his clothes. Seeing that it was almost four o'clock, he was about to call for the driver and ask the driver to drive him to Wang Zhong's house, when suddenly his heart moved, and two figures appeared in his mind.

Then he walked out the door, walked along the garden road for a while, and came to a small building. Through the window, he saw someone in the house, so he stepped on the doorbell and rang the doorbell.

"Bingyi?" Qu Xiuzhen was surprised when she opened the door and saw Zhou Bingyi standing outside.

Although Qu Xiuzhen and Ma Shouchang have a good relationship with Jin Yueji, they are only good. They are very different from Jin Yueji in terms of hobbies and personalities. We met in the compound, stopped and chatted a few words, that's all.

"When did you come back? Did you go to see Sister Jin?" While talking, Qu Xiuzhen still led people into the house.

"I just arrived today, I went to the hospital as soon as I got off the train."

"Old Ma, Bingyi is here!" Ma Shouchang was sitting on the sofa, squinting his eyes, and was watching the TV intently. On the TV was the [-]rd edition of Journey to the West.

Hearing Qu Xiuzhen's words, Ma Shouchang looked up and said, "Bingyi is here, sit down!" He said hello, and then quickly returned his attention to the TV in front of him.

Qu Xiuzhen poured a cup of tea for Zhou Bingyi, and explained with a smile: "This old man, since Bingkun installed a TV at home, he is like a child. Let’s come here, this old man actually has the nerve to grab the remote control from Little Tail and the others.”

Zhou Bingyi glanced calmly at the big-ass color TV that Qu Xiuzhen said Wang Zhong had given him. The Neon Sharp color TV was not very cheap.

"My mother also likes to watch TV at home, and now she doesn't leave the house very often." Zhou Bingyi's mother is Li Suhua who is on optical film, and the old Zhou's TV was naturally bought by Wang Zhong. After installing the TV , The neighbors in the neighborhood, Li Suhua's old sisters, took their grandchildren to Lao Zhou's house every day.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen your mother for a while." Qu Xiuzhen felt a little emotional, but Zhou Cong often came to see her with Little Tail and the others. Qu Xiuzhen understood Li Suhua's situation fairly well.

"You came here on purpose, what's the matter?" Qu Xiuzhen didn't go around with Zhou Bingyi, and asked straight to the point.

"During this time, I'm not in Jichun. Thanks to your two helpers for the matter of my mother-in-law. Otherwise, Dongmei would not know what to do if she was alone. Am I coming back now? I just wanted to thank you Thank you, both of you."

"Hey! Talk to us about this." Qu Xiuzhen said: "These are what we should do. Sister Jin is my old leader and also the matchmaker between me and Lao Ma."

Ma Shouchang also said: "We didn't do anything, we just did what we could. Don't be so polite."

After chatting for a few more words, seeing Zhou Bingyi's tiredness, Qu Xiuzhen sighed and said comfortingly: "Life, old age, sickness and death are human nature, but you have to take care of your health, and don't tire yourself out. Whatever the old horse and I can help, just say something."

"Secretary Qu, thank you!"

Zhou Bingyi struggled and said, "I do have something to trouble you right now."

"It's about Bingkun."

"It has something to do with Bingkun?" Qu Xiuzhen frowned slightly, looking at Zhou Bingyi a little puzzled.

Zhou Bingyi said: "Back then, due to some reasons, Bingkun and Zheng Juan had a grudge against their mother-in-law. Mother-in-law has always felt guilty about this and wanted to apologize to them in person, but Bingkun is too stubborn. , I have approached him many times, but he just doesn't want to meet his mother-in-law."

"I have no choice but to think of you!"

Qu Xiuzhen sighed when she heard the words. Although she really wanted to agree, she shook her head and said, "Bingyi, it's not that I don't want to help, but I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."

"You are Bingkun's big brother, and you must know him better than we do. If that boy Bingkun gets stubborn, even ten bulls won't be able to pull him back. I don't have the ability to persuade him."

Zhou Bingyi never expected that Qu Xiuzhen would refuse in such a way without even thinking about it, and even so directly.

"Didn't Bingkun respect you and Dean Ma all the time?" Zhou Bingyi was still a little unwilling.

"Even you, the big brother, can't talk about him, let alone us two old guys who have no relationship or reason with him. Besides, he respects us because the old horse and I helped him a little. Busy, Bingkun is also a person who knows how to repay kindness. It is only these years that he respects Lao Ma and me so much, but Bingkun thinks about our small favors back then. Repay the favor with a shy face!"

"Do you think it makes sense?" Qu Xiuzhen looked at Zhou Bingyi after she finished speaking.

Repaying her kindness, Qu Xiuzhen had already made it very clear.

"You're right!" Zhou Bingyi looked embarrassed.

"It's my lack of consideration. Secretary Naqu, you and Dean Ma will sit first, and I won't bother you. Dongmei is alone watching over my mother-in-law's side. I'm really worried." I quickly found an excuse for myself .

Qu Xiuzhen immediately said quite seriously: "Although it is important to take care of Big Sister Jin, you should also take care of your own health, so don't get too tired."

"Thank you, Secretary Qu, for your concern!" Zhou Bingyi stood up as he spoke, "Then I will leave first, and I will visit you with Dongmei some other day."

After seeing off Zhou Bingyi, Ma Shouchang's eyes were still fixed on the TV, but a sentence popped out of his mouth: "Old Qu, why did you reject him just now?"

Qu Xiuzhen filled Ma Shouchang's thermos with hot water and put it in front of him: "What if you don't refuse? Agree?"

"If you want to agree, then why didn't you stop me just now! Or you can agree yourself, I won't stop you." Qu Xiuzhen said angrily.

Ma Shouchang picked up the thermos, Qu Xiuzhen hurriedly reminded him to be careful, Ma Shouchang blew on it, and took a sip.

Then he sighed and said with emotion: "It's hard for an upright official to break up housework!"

"It's good that you know!" Qu Xiuzhen said: "If it's something else, we can definitely help, but it's better not to get meddled in this matter."

"What kind of temperament is that kid Bingkun? Others don't know, so we still don't know."

"Besides, Sister Jin, to put it bluntly, is indeed a bit bureaucratic. She is divorced from the masses. She thinks that the old Zhou family is a worker's family and looks down on others. Zhou Bingyi and Dongmei have been married for so many years. There is no contact between the two of them, Bingkun's family doesn't even know which building Hao's is, and Sister Jin is just Dongmei's daughter."

Ma Shouchang also sighed, and shook his head: "Director Jin is good at everything, but this is the only thing he has done. We are cadres of the party and the people, how can we separate ourselves from the masses."

The old couple have exactly the same opinion on this point, which is why the relationship between the two has been good for so many years, but it is only limited to this reason.

"And back then, Cai Xiaoguang's matter was not just a matter of Lao Hao's words. It didn't touch the principles and bottom line, and it was able to select talents for the country. But Bingkun asked us two for help. If you say there is nothing tricky about it , do you believe it?"

It was precisely because she was familiar with Jin Yueji's family, and Qu Xiuzhen had worked under Jin Yueji's back then, that she knew more about what Jin Yueji was like.

Both Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei had been married for many years, but the Zhou family didn't even know where the door of the Hao family opened, except for one Zhou Bingyi.

This kind of thing was not uncommon in the old society, but now the new society has been established for many years, and the party's purpose has always been to come from the masses and go to the masses, to be as close to the people as a family, to become one with the people, not just in the In the eyes of Qu Xiuzhen and his wife, and in the eyes of most of the older generation of revolutionaries with pure beliefs, this old idea of ​​feudal society is a cancer of society, and should be eliminated in the long river of history early.

Qu Xiuzhen said: "The eight-year war of resistance and the three-year war of liberation, why did we win in the end? It's not because we are the people's army and the people's party. How can such feudal and decadent ideas appear in our society?" Among the cadres of these people."

"Okay, okay, why are you talking about old sesame seeds and rotten millet." Ma Shouchang gave Qu Xiuzhen a white look, and why are you talking about these things, since everyone is almost gone.

But Qu Xiuzhen said: "Bingkun has the attitude of today, isn't it because of these old sesame seeds and rotten millet, which have been accumulated over time? Otherwise, Bingkun and Zheng Juan are so kind. How come it’s this time, but you don’t even want to see Big Sister Jin for the last time? You don’t even want to accept an apology?”

"And there might be something else here that we don't know about!" Qu Xiuzhen said firmly.

Ma Shouchang was silent for a moment and did not answer.

"Let's pretend we haven't seen Zhou Bingyi today, and when Bingkun and the others come next time, don't tell me the truth." Qu Xiuzhen urged.

Ma Shouchang waved his hand and said impatiently, "Okay, I know!"

It's just that the TV series that I was still enjoying just now don't seem to be so delicious now.

······
On the steps, two antique doors were open, and two adult black dogs were lazily lying on the stone steps behind the door, with iron chains tied around their necks. When the driver parked the car at the door, the two black dogs has been awakened.

When seeing Zhou Bingyi get off the car, Dahei and Erhei had changed from lying down to standing, and four pairs of eyes fell on Zhou Bingyi's body at the same time.

As soon as Zhou Bingyi stepped up the steps, Dahei and Erhei barked vigorously.

Dahei Erhei has a strong body, four pairs of eyes are still enigmatic, two pairs of protruding ears stand tall, but the hair all over his body is not as black and shiny as at first glance, this is the erosion of time, Dahei Erhei Hei was almost nine years old, and among human beings, he was almost as old as the twilight.

"Why, don't you recognize me?" Ever since he approached Wang Chongdao in private last time, Zhou Bingyi was like a dog's plaster, bringing Hao Dongmei to visit Wang Chong's house from time to time.

Showing more, Dahei and Erhei are naturally not as vigilant towards him as before.

It's just that Zhou Bingyi has been busy with the affairs of the military factory recently, and Zhou Bingyi is upside down all day long. He wished that one person could be used as two people, and he hadn't visited the door for half a year.

Dahei Erhei walked to Zhou Binyi's side, sniffed at the edge of his trouser legs and shoes, but did not yell again.

"Brother?" Zheng Juan was cooking in the kitchen, when she heard about Dahei and Erhei, she knew that someone was coming, so she hurried out to have a look. Seeing that it was Zhou Bingyi, she greeted him happily.

"Why are you here?"

"I just came back, come and have a look!" Zhou Bingyi raised a few gift boxes in his hand: "By the way, I brought some small gifts for the children."

"Come as soon as you come, and bring any gifts, and you're not an outsider." Zheng Juan was very enthusiastic, "Bingkun hasn't come back yet, and Congcong should be home by now. You go in and sit down for a while, watch TV, tea, etc. If you do it yourself, I won't greet you."

"It's just right, when Bingkun comes back later, you brothers can still have a good drink."

"Hi! How can I say hello? You do your work first. I'll go in and sit by myself."

Zhou Bingyi went straight into the living room with the gift.

The living room was unchanged from before. Zhou Bingyi put his things on the shelf in the entrance, put on his slippers, walked into the living room, and looked around. Seeing that there seemed to be a few more photo frames on the wall where the photos hung, he became curious. walked over.

Most of them are a group photo, a photo of several children. The group photo is of Wang Zhong and Guangming. In the photo, Wang Zhong, Zheng Juan, Guangming and Zhang Qiaoer are sitting in a row, with smiles on their faces. Zhang Qiaoer is pregnant. There is also a little guy who is just over one year old in her arms, which is the third child of her and Guangming. For this little guy who came suddenly, Guangming and his wife paid a fine.

Zhou Cong, Zhou Ling and Zhou Ming stood behind.

Xiaowei, Doudou, and Qingqing sat cross-legged in front of Wang Zhong and the others, with happy smiles on their faces.

Even the little guy sitting on Zhang Qiaoer's lap couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

The other photos are all of the children, and they were all taken without the children knowing when they were having fun. Just by looking at them, you can feel the change of the children at that time.

After a while, Wang Zhong arrived home first.

After parking the car, he went straight into the kitchen: "Daughter-in-law, are the children back?"

"No!" Zheng Juan had already started to cook, "But the eldest brother is here, waiting for you in the living room, hurry up and have a look!"

Although Zhou Bingyi didn't say anything, but Zheng Juan was not a fool, how could she not see it, Zhou Bingyi ran over just after he came back, there must be something wrong.

"Brother?" Wang Zhong faintly felt something was wrong, and was pushed out of the kitchen by Zheng Juan.

"Why is big brother here?" Wang Zhong walked to the table next to the wall, and first poured himself a cold drink.

Zhou Bingyi said: "There is something I want to discuss with you."

Wang Chong raised his eyebrows slightly: "If it's about sister-in-law's mother, brother should stop talking about it."

"If it's about the military factory, I can't help!"

"It's about Dongmei's mother." Zhou Bingyi put on a forced smile: "The doctor said that Dongmei's mother has only been alive for a few days. Hurt, so I want to apologize to you two in person while I am still awake."

Wang Zhong turned to look at Zhou Bingyi, and sighed helplessly: "Brother, are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused?"

Zhou Bingyi was taken aback by Wang Zhong's question: "What do you mean by that?"

Wang Zhong shook his head, and explained impatiently: "Yes, indeed, what happened at the beginning has always been a knot in the hearts of Juan'er and I, and it hasn't passed yet, but you really think that there is only this relationship between her and our family. Something? Apologize, and Juan'er and I forgive her and it's over?"

Facing Wang Zhong's questioning, Zhou Bingyi's face darkened slightly: "Isn't it?"

Wang Zhong poured another glass of water, drank it down, raised his hand to wipe off the water stains from the corner of his mouth, went straight to the sofa in the hall and sat down: "First of all, I will not forgive her, let alone go to see her, Juan'er is the same."

"Let me make it clear to you first. If you want to persuade Juan'er first and then come to me again, then I advise you to get rid of this idea quickly, otherwise, you will not come to my house in the future." .”

"Bingkun, there's no need to speak so outrageously!" Zhou Bingyi frowned, not understanding what Wang Zhong said.

"Stop!" Wang Zhong said, "If you still want me to call you big brother, don't mention it. Juan'er is kind-hearted, but I am different. I don't want her kindness to be used by others. "

"Bingkun, you..." Zhou Bingyi's complexion changed, and he felt that Wang Zhong was a little on the line.

"Listen to me first." Wang Zhong didn't give Zhou Bingyi a chance to speak. Zhou Bingyi's face was a bit ugly, but he still suppressed his unhappiness: "Speak."

"I don't want to quarrel with you on the topic of repaying grievances with virtue or repaying grievances with straightness, and you are not me, so don't impose your ideas on me. If I said I don't want to, then I don't want to."

Zhou Bingyi became anxious, and quickly said: "But we are brothers, Dongmei is your sister-in-law, and her mother is my mother-in-law. To be honest, we are all one family. There were indeed conflicts before, but now I have the opportunity to resolve them." Contradictory, why don't you want to?"

Knowing Wang Zhong's temperament, Zhou Bingyi turned to ask the reason, hoping to start from here.

Wang Zhong looked at Zhou Bingyi and said flatly, "We have separated."

"If you come to visit with my sister-in-law, I welcome it. My sister-in-law is my Zhou family's wife, and she is not bad, but for the Hao family, that's fine. I don't want to have anything to do with anyone in the Hao family except my sister-in-law. .”

"I'm done talking about this, don't be persistent, if you have time to waste time with me, you might as well show your face in front of your mother-in-law's hospital bed and spend more time with her sister-in-law."

"But there must be a reason!" Zhou Bingyi still didn't want to give up, after all, this could be regarded as Jin Yueji's dying wish.

"The reason is, okay!" Wang Zhong saw that he still didn't give up, so he simply didn't show any sympathy: "Didn't they think that their Hao family was a high-ranking family with a high threshold, and they looked down on our old Zhou family? For so many years, how did you feel when you were caught in the middle, did you forget yourself?"

"You forgot, but I haven't forgotten, oh, when they were deprived of all positions and rights, and sent to the countryside, what did our family do at that time, how did you do it? Don't overdo it!"

"But what about them? After being rehabilitated, they immediately felt that they belonged to a high-ranking family. The high-ranking family looked down on our worker's family. Didn't Zhou Zhigang always look forward to meeting his in-laws? But what happened? Until his sister-in-law and his father Passed away, have you met once?"

"We did meet later. It was [-] at that time. Your mother-in-law did meet us, but why did they meet? Tricking you two, fooling our mother, asking Juan'er to adopt the little tail to us." you."

"That's the kind of person? I didn't rush up to give her a few slaps, it was already for the sake of you and Mom."

The main reason was that I was afraid that my hands were too heavy, and I was too angry at the time. Jin Yueji's age was right there, if she really lost her strength all of a sudden, wouldn't she be causing trouble for herself!
If he accidentally did that, Wang Zhong would have to pay for his life. At that time, Wang Zhong was only thirty, how old was Jin Yueji?How to think how to lose.

"Oh! I'm dying now. Thinking of the past, I feel regretful. I want to apologize, right? I want to ask for peace of mind, right!"

"I just don't give her the chance."

Wang Zhong was also so pissed off by Zhou Bingyi that he got impatient and said anything.
