The world of film and television begins from childhood

Li Suhua was relieved when she heard that Xiao Guoqing would be coming soon.

"That's good. Two cars are enough."

Xiao Guoqing arrived at around nine in the morning. He had not stayed there for long before he was urged by the anxious Li Suhua to go to the train station with Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen and Xiao Guoqing were sitting in the lobby of the train station. Xiao Guoqing asked in confusion, "Kun'er, isn't your brother going to arrive in the afternoon? Why are we here so early?"

Zhou Chen just said: "That's because you don't understand how a mother feels when she misses her son."

As expected, the train was delayed. It was supposed to arrive at around 1:00 p.m., but it didn't arrive until after 3:00 p.m.

While waiting, Zhou Chen and Xiao Guoqing had lunch, which cost more than three yuan. The restaurants at the train station are indeed much more expensive than other places.

Zhou Bingyi was carrying a military backpack and holding a handbag in one hand. He held Hao Dongmei tightly with his other hand. The two of them finally squeezed out of the crowd.

"I haven't been back for a long time. There are so many people here."

Returning to Jichun City for the first time after many years, Hao Dongmei looked at the bustling train station and said with emotion.

Zhou Bingyi smiled and said, "That's for sure. There are a lot of people in Jichun, and it's Chinese New Year, so there must be a lot of people coming and going. Let's go out first, Bingkun should be waiting for us outside."

As soon as he came out of the exit, Zhou Bingyi heard countless shouts, all kinds of names, and he couldn't tell who was talking to whom.

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei looked around, trying to find someone in the crowd, but their eyes were dazzled and they couldn't find anyone.

Just then, a loud shout was suddenly heard.

"Brother, Zhou Bingyi, here."

Hao Dongmei heard it first and quickly pushed Zhou Bingyi: "Bingyi, I heard someone calling you again."

"I heard it too. I'll look for it."

Zhou Bingyi also heard it, and then he opened his eyes wide and began to look for it.

Chapter 575: Returning home, talking to brothers, sad Hao Dongmei

"Zhou Bingyi."

"Brother Bingyi."

Zhou Chen and Xiao Guoqing shouted loudly. In this crowded train station, they could only shout names. If you shouted "big brother" or something like that, dozens of people would look over at you in minutes.

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei looked around following the sound, and then locked onto Zhou Chen and Xiao Guoqing.

Zhou Bingyi was overjoyed and said, "There it is, Dongmei, that is my brother Bingkun, I will not make a mistake."

Although they hadn't seen each other for seven years, Zhou Bingyi quickly recognized his younger brother.

"Come on, let's go there."

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei squeezed for a while and finally reached Zhou Chen and his friends.

Seeing Zhou Chen so close, Zhou Bingyi excitedly stepped forward and gave Zhou Chen a hug.

"Bingkun."

"Big brother."

Zhou Bingyi patted Zhou Chen's back hard before letting him go.

"Bingkun, long time no see. You have changed a lot. You are stronger and calmer now."

If it was the Zhou Bingkun of the past, he would definitely be so happy that he would be incoherent when they met again after many years.

But Zhou Chen in front of him was very calm, which made Zhou Bingyi very emotional.

But he didn't know that the person in front of him could no longer be completely considered his biological brother. Although he hadn't changed on the outside, he had already become a different person on the inside, and his brotherhood with him was not as deep as before.

Then he pointed to Hao Dongmei next to him and said, "This is your sister-in-law, Hao Dongmei. You have seen her before."

Zhou Chen greeted her politely: "Sister-in-law, if it wasn't for my brother introducing you, I really wouldn't have recognized you. You are much more beautiful than before."

Hao Dongmei said somewhat embarrassedly: "Really? I thought I was uglier than before."

As the child of a former high-ranking official, the life in the past few years has been really a torment for her. If Zhou Bingyi had not been there to accompany her, comfort her and help her, she would probably have given up long ago.

Zhou Bingyi laughed and said, "Dongmei, although my brother Bingkun was naughty in the past, what he said is not wrong. You are just more beautiful than before."

Hao Dongmei gave Zhou Bingyi a coquettish look.

Zhou Chen pointed at Xiao Guoqing next to him and introduced him, "Brother, this is Guoqing. Zheng Juan is not very comfortable, so I asked Guoqing to come with me. We rode two bikes. You can ride one with your sister-in-law, and Guoqing and I will ride the other."

Zhou Bingyi could recognize his own brother, but he could hardly recognize Xiao Guoqing.

"It's National Day. Thank you so much for making a special trip."

Xiao Guoqing quickly shook hands with Zhou Bingyi and said, "Brother Bingyi, you are too polite. Kun'er has helped me so much, and I am just helping to pick someone up. It's really nothing."

"Thank you, thank you."

Zhou Chen said: "Brother, pack all your things. Let's go back quickly. Mom misses you so much."

When Zhou Chen mentioned his mother, Zhou Bingyi's eyes turned red: "I miss her too, Bingkun, is mom in good health now?"

Although he has kept in touch with his family through letters over the years, letters are just letters after all, and the feeling of not being able to see them in person is irreplaceable.

Zhou Chen said, "Mom is in good health, but she missed you too much. A few years ago, she cried a lot because of Zhou Rong's matter. But later I gave her medicine to take care of herself. Now she has recovered a little and there is no big problem. If there is any change, it is that she is much older than when you left seven years ago."

Most people of this generation have been working since childhood and are prone to premature aging. So although Li Suhua is only around 50 years old now, she looks like she is 60 years old.

Zhou Bingyi felt even sadder when he heard this, and choked up and said, "We are so sorry for Mom that we haven't come back to see her for so many years."

Speaking of this, Zhou Chen also felt that several people in the Zhou family were unreliable. It would be fine if they all had no holidays, but in fact, whether it was Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Bingyi or Zhou Rong, they all had the opportunity to go home.

But for various reasons, none of them have ever returned. If the situation had not been special in the past few years and the situation had not been a little more relaxed, they probably would not have returned.

Zhou Chen didn’t know whether they missed the old lady while they were outside, but he knew how much Li Suhua missed them.

"Let's go. It's not convenient here. If you have anything to say, let's go back and talk."

The train station was too chaotic right now. Zhou Chen didn't want to stay here for long, so he took Zhou Bingyi and the others and left quickly.

Zhou Bingyi brought back a lot of things, but there was still enough space for two bicycles.

Before they reached home, Zhou Chen and his companions saw Li Suhua waiting on the road. Zhou Bingyi immediately stopped the car, parked the car, and rushed towards Li Suhua.

"mom."

Li Suhua was so excited that tears streamed down her face: "Bingyi, my Bingyi, you are finally back. I missed you so much. Come, let me see you."

Li Suhua stroked Zhou Bingyi's cheeks with both hands, from his forehead to his eyes, then to his nose and chin. She became happier and happier as she looked.

"Damn, Bingyi has grown up and matured."

Zhou Bingyi choked up and said, "Mom, no matter what I become, I am still your son. I will always be your son. Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I don't have time to come back to see you."

This time, Hao Dongmei's parents were rehabilitated, so Hao Dongmei was able to leave. Otherwise, it would be another matter whether he could bear to leave Hao Dongmei.

"I don't blame you. You can't help yourself."

Of course Li Suhua would not be willing to blame her eldest son. She looked at Zhou Bingyi for a long time before she shifted her gaze to look at Hao Dongmei standing beside her.

Zhou Bingyi left and said, "Mom, this is Dongmei, the one you saw when you were in school."

Hao Dongmei called out politely, "Mom."

"Good boy, good boy."

Li Suhua happily held Hao Dongmei's hands. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She was an old lady with relatively simple thoughts. Even when Hao Dongmei was down and out, she never despised her, and naturally she would not despise her now.

"Dongmei, you must have had a hard time on the journey."

"It's not hard, not hard at all."

Seeing them chatting in the snow, Zhou Chen couldn't help but say, "Mom, can't we talk about it when we get home? It's so cold, why are we standing here talking till when?"

Li Suhua, who was just happy, suddenly got angry and scolded: "You stinky boy, why are you so talkative."

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "I know you miss your elder brother, but he and his friends are tired from traveling all the way. Let them go home and rest early."

Li Suhua finally reacted. She slapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Oh, look at me, I'm so confused. Bingyi, Dongmei, let's go home."

Seeing Li Suhua taking Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei away first, Zhou Chen looked at the gifts left behind with helplessness.

Okay, do it yourself.

After sending all the gifts back home with Xiao Guoqing, Zhou Chen stopped Xiao Guoqing who was about to leave and said, "Guoqing, don't leave. Stay for dinner. My eldest brother just came back. You can also have a drink with him later."

Xiao Guoqing waved his hands repeatedly: "No, Brother Bingyi just came back, you guys chat more, I have something to do at home, I'm leaving first."

No matter how Zhou Chen pulled him, Xiao Guoqing insisted on leaving. In the end, Zhou Chen could only give him some things to take back. This time, there was no room for Xiao Guoqing to refuse.

After seeing Xiao Guoqing off, Zhou Chen walked into the house and found that several people in the family were already sitting on the sofa chatting.

Li Suhua and Zhou Bingyi were sitting together and chatting, while the sisters-in-law Hao Dongmei and Zheng Juan were holding hands and talking.

As for Zhou Rui, he was held by Zheng Guangming. He looked at Zhou Bingyi and then at Hao Dongmei curiously. He was very curious about these two people who had arrived suddenly.

Zhou Chen walked to the stool next to the sofa and sat down. As soon as he sat down, Zhou Bingyi said to him, "Bingkun, I learned some things about you from the letter before. You are really successful now. You are a great poet and writer. You are amazing. Zhou Rong and I are both outshined by you."

Zhou Chen said: "It's just average, nothing to praise."

"How could that be? Your pen name is 'Zhou Chen', and you are now one of the most famous poets in the country. I don't know how many people admire you and look up to you."

Although Zhou Bingyi was in the Construction Corps, he also learned some information about Zhou Chen through newspapers, and also knew how Zhou Chen was sought after by the outside world.

Hao Dongmei also said: "Yes, Bingkun, your elder brother is right. You are very famous now. Not to mention other things, even in our village, many girls like me, after listening to your poems, all admire and respect you very much. I dare not tell them your true identity, otherwise they will definitely go crazy."

Zhou Bingyi said, "The girls in your sister-in-law's place are basically the children of high-ranking officials in the past. They are all educated young women. The fact that they all admire you so much is enough to show how powerful you are now."

He was shocked that his brother had become a great poet and writer, because it all seemed too dreamy.

"Bingkun, I've never understood why. You used to dislike studying the most. How come you suddenly became so smart as soon as we left?"

Zhou Chen replied: "Speaking of this, you also have a share of the credit. Do you remember those books you asked me to keep? After you left, I took them out to read because I was bored. I just wanted to kill time, but I didn't expect that the more I read, the more interested I became. I liked them more and more."

"After I finished reading the books you left behind, I went looking for other books to read. The more I read, the more I understood. Then I happened to meet my friend Mr. Shao Jingwen, who made me a friend regardless of age difference. With his recommendation, I got a job at a publishing house. You know what happened next."

Li Suhua said at the side: "Bingyi, mom can testify to this. After you left that year, Kun'er seemed to have grown up suddenly. He didn't go out to play every day, but stayed at home to study."

Zhou Bingyi laughed loudly and said happily: "If that's the case, then I really have contributed to Bingkun becoming a great poet and writer?"

Hao Dongmei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't flatter yourself. Bingkun is smart and capable. What does it have to do with you? Can you write poems and articles as good as Bingkun's?"

Zhou Bingyi said nonchalantly: "Then I really can't write it, haha..."

"dad."

Zhou Rui suddenly broke free from Zheng Guangming's arms and ran to Zhou Chen, who picked him up.

"Dad, who are they?"

Just now, because Li Suhua cared too much about Zhou Bingyi, she only briefly introduced Zheng Juan and others. Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming are both adults, but Zhou Rui is still a child less than two years old. He didn't understand what his grandmother said just now.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Ruirui, this is Dad's brother, you can call him uncle or grandpa, this is uncle's wife, you should call her aunt, come on, call her."

Zhou Rui got off Zhou Chen's lap and walked in front of Zhou Bingyi. He was not afraid and called out crisply, "Uncle."

Then, without waiting for Zhou Bingyi to respond, he walked up to Hao Dongmei and called out, "Aunt."

"Hey."

Hao Dongmei responded happily and reached out to touch Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui then became a little scared and shrank towards Zheng Juan.

Zheng Juan comforted him, "It's okay, Ruirui, this is your aunt. Your aunt likes you and wants to hug you and touch you. Go, tell your aunt your name and how old you are."

After hearing his mother's encouragement, Zhou Rui walked back to Hao Dongmei and whispered, "Aunt, my name is Zhou Rui, and I'm two years old."

Hao Dongmei, with a look of joy on her face, embraced Zhou Rui and touched his little head.

"Rui Rui, you are so obedient."

After a while, after Zhou Rui and Hao Dongmei became familiar with each other, he no longer rejected her and let Hao Dongmei hold him.

Hao Dongmei hugged Zhou Rui even more happily, gave him food to eat, and looked at him patiently.

Zhou Bingyi's eyes were gloomy as he watched how Hao Dongmei loved Zhou Rui. The couple had been married for three years and already knew that they were infertile. This had become a thorn in their hearts.

But he couldn't say this to anyone for the time being, and he didn't dare tell his parents. If Zhou Chen didn't have any children yet, it would be fine, but now even his younger brother has his own children, and he still doesn't have any. He has already prepared himself mentally to be criticized by his parents this year.

The family was chatting happily, completely unaware of the passage of time, until Zhou Bingyi's stomach suddenly growled.

Zhou Bingyi looked embarrassed and said, "I just ate some cakes while I was on the train."
