Li Suhua sighed, "So, Kun'er is just like you, both are very stubborn. Dad, I have to tell you, I have been with Zheng Juan for a few years, she is really a good girl; I have never seen a daughter-in-law as good as her, other people's daughters-in-law are always finding faults, but she has always been filial to me before marriage, and after marriage, she treats me even better."

"To be honest, I have three children, but none of them is as caring as Juan'er. Kun'er was able to marry Zheng Juan because of his good karma in his previous life. So, dad, even if you are dissatisfied with Kun'er, I will never allow you to say anything about Juan'er, otherwise I will turn against you."

Zhou Zhigang got anxious when he heard this: "Look at what you said. When did I ever say anything about Zheng Juan? She gave me a great grandson like Ruirui. I can't thank her enough. How could I possibly be angry with her?"

Talking about his grandson, he smiled: "Mother, to be honest, I took a train for two days and two nights. When I got home, I was so tired that I couldn't stand up straight. But when I saw Ruirui, I didn't feel tired at all. I was so happy, especially when I saw Ruirui massaging my legs. Oh, you don't know how I felt. It was really, indescribable satisfaction."

"Who does this child look like? He's so sweet, so cute, and so sensible. He melts my heart."

Even his most caring daughter at the time could not compare to the feeling Zhou Rui brought him at this moment, so when he talked about Zhou Rui, he would feel sweet and happy.

"Look at you like that, isn't it just pressing your legs, as for?"

Li Suhua looked disdainful, and then boasted: "When you are not at home, Ruirui often sleeps with me. When I cook during the day, he helps me pick vegetables and do housework. If I could be like you, I would be so happy."

Zhou Zhigang was so angry that his teeth itched: "You are deliberately trying to piss me off, right? Just wait, when I retire, Ruirui will honor me like this too."

"Then just wait."

Li Suhua suddenly became excited: "Juan'er is pregnant again, I wonder if this baby is a boy or a girl."

Zhou Zhigang said: "Boys and girls are the same, and our family does not favor boys over girls."

He already has a grandson, so he really doesn’t care whether the second baby is a boy or a girl.

"I'm more worried about Bingyi now. You saw it at the dinner table just now. What do you think is going on between Bingyi and Dongmei? Does Dongmei not want a child?"

Li Suhua asked in confusion, "No way, didn't you see that Dongmei really likes Ruirui? She played with Ruirui all night yesterday and she was the one who coaxed him to sleep. From the look of her face, she definitely likes children."

"Could that be Bingyi?" Zhou Zhigang asked again.

"It's hard to say. I'll ask Bingyi secretly when I have time. Don't make blind guesses here."

"Okay, then you have to find time to ask. The sooner the child is born, the better. Look how cute Ruirui is. Those who don't want children have brain problems."

Zhou Zhigang muttered, "Mother, you said Ruirui often sleeps with you, so go and see if he is asleep now. If he is not asleep, bring him over and I will coax him to sleep."

Li Suhua was suspicious: "Are you okay?"

"Why can't I? It's not like I haven't taken Xiaorong and the others with me before."

"Then wait a minute. I'll go check on Kun'er and the others."

"Go quickly, go quickly."

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei also did not fall asleep. Although they were not the protagonists at the dinner table, they also watched a good show.

What Hao Dongmei cares most about is naturally Zhou Zhigang's problem.

"Bingyi, if your father knew that I couldn't have children, would he let you divorce me?"

Zhou Bingyi was surprised and said, "Why do you have such worries? My father is not that kind of person at all."

"But I see that your father is so cruel to your brother. I know your character. You definitely can't beat your father." Hao Dongmei was worried.

Zhou Bingyi turned around and faced Hao Dongmei, and said very seriously: "Dongmei, you really don't have to worry. I can tell you for sure that no matter what the reason is, I will never break up with you, unless you don't want me anymore."

Hao Dongmei immediately scolded: "Nonsense, how could I not want you, I will follow you for the rest of my life."

Zhou Bingyi hugged her in his arms and said with emotion: "The reason why my dad treats Bingkun like this is because Bingkun has been naughty and stubborn since he was a child. He won't obey even if he is beaten or scolded. Sometimes I really admire him for having the courage to treat my dad like this."

He was a filial son and had almost never talked back to his parents, let alone quarreled with them. Sometimes, even if he was not satisfied with his father's actions, he would endure it instead of exploding like his younger brother.

Hao Dongmei said: "I think your brother is good. I see that he and Zheng Juan have a very good relationship. If you listen to your father, this marriage will fall through."

Zhou Bingyi also agreed: "Yes, Zheng Juan is indeed good. Just look at my mother's attitude towards her."

Hao Dongmei: "Zheng Juan is about to have a second child, but we still don't have one. Your parents will definitely blame me when the time comes. What should we say then?"

Zhou Bingyi comforted her, "Don't worry, Dongmei, I have already thought of a solution. Leave this matter to me. Don't worry about it. Just celebrate the New Year happily."

"Ah."

"Speaking of which, we really have to thank Bingkun. If he hadn't bought this house, our whole family would have to squeeze into the old house with Guangzi Pian. Although I have a lot of feelings for that place, it's really impossible to sleep with so many people."

"Your brother is really a capable man. He supports the family by himself. Look how well they educate their children. Ruirui is so young, but he is so sensible and cute. It would be great if Ruirui was our child."

As she spoke, Hao Dongmei's mood became particularly low. She really liked Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui was as cute as the child she had imagined she had.

Zhou Bingyi said, "Don't think about it. When we have time, we will go to the capital. The conditions there are definitely much better than here. Maybe we can cure your disease."

"Hopefully."

The two people who were talking suddenly heard a child's voice outside.

Hao Dongmei was shocked: "Is it Ruirui who is making trouble?"

"I don't know, I'll go take a look."

The two walked to the door and just opened it, they saw Li Suhua carrying Zhou Rui out of Zhou Chen and their room.

Zhou Rui lay on Li Suhua's back and shouted happily: "Hurry, hurry up, let's go to sleep with grandpa and grandma. Hurry up, grandma."

"Okay, grandma, it's getting faster."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei both laughed.

Chapter 578: New Year's Day, Sensible Zheng Juan, Party

The first day of the first lunar month, also known as "Yuanshuo", "Spring Festival", etc., is the first day of the Lunar New Year and the most important traditional festival in my country.

This morning, the first person in the Zhou family to wake up was not Li Suhua or Zheng Juan, but the youngest Zhou Rui.

Early in the morning, before dawn, I heard Zhou Rui's laughter, and he was very happy.

Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan were both awakened by their son's laughter. Zheng Juan whispered, "This child wakes up so early every day. He must have disturbed his parents' sleep."

Zhou Chen said: "It's okay. The elderly have light sleep. Even if Ruirui didn't make noise, they would wake up early."

Zheng Juan sat up from the bed: "I'm going to get up and cook. Today is the first day of the new year, so I need to eat well in the morning."

Zhou Chen has spent several years in the Northeast. In the real world, they don't have too many particularities. They usually eat glutinous rice balls, dumplings and the like in the morning. In short, it is relatively simple and not that complicated.

But here, there are more foods on the morning of New Year's Day every year. Even though the conditions were not good in the past, Li Suhua would prepare a few dishes in the morning.

Such as dumplings, rice cakes, sugar melons, chickens, eggs, etc...

Now that conditions are better and there are fewer people at home, there are naturally more breakfasts. These were basically prepared yesterday and just need to be heated up in the morning.

"Well, be careful and don't carry anything heavy."

As they were talking, Zhou Chen also stood up. Their movement woke up Zheng Guangming.

Guangming immediately stood up and said, "Sister, I'll help you cook."

Zheng Juan said distressedly, "No need, Guangming, you should sleep for a while. I will call you when the meal is ready."

"It's okay, sis. I'm already awake. I can't fall asleep again."

Zheng Guangming has started to put on his clothes. Although he can't see clearly, he can still carry out some basic activities in life.

In the second bedroom, Li Suhua was helping Zhou Rui put on his clothes. Zhou Zhigang was making faces at Zhou Rui, which made Zhou Rui giggle. He moved around everywhere and refused to cooperate in getting dressed.

"Can you wait until I'm dressed before you play with him?"

Zhou Zhigang agreed verbally, but did not stop.

Suddenly, Zhou Rui shouted loudly: "Pee, grandma, I want to pee."

Zhou Zhigang got anxious when he heard this, but Li Suhua said calmly, "Grandma will take you to pee."

After packing up Zhou Rui and holding Zhou Zhigang, Li Suhua asked, "Dad, are we going to Guangzi Pian to pay New Year's greetings today?"

Zhou Zhigang thought about it, shook his head and said, "Forget it. Xiaorong is not back. The family is missing one person. It's incomplete. I won't go."

Li Suhua had no objection: "Then I'll listen to you. I won't go. I'll go make dinner. You can play with Ruirui."

"go Go."

Zhou Zhigang waved his hand, with only his eldest grandson left in his eyes.

The breakfast was very sumptuous and everyone enjoyed it very much. Zhou Zhigang did not behave like he did last night, so the atmosphere at the table was very harmonious.

Zhou Chen and his friends did not go to pay New Year's greetings, but Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao did come with their wives to pay New Year's greetings.

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao pulled Zhou Chen aside.

Sun Ganchao said, "Kun'er, it's New Year's Day, let's find some time to get together."

Zhou Chen said: "I have no problem, you guys come to my house?"

Xiao Guoqing said: "No, let's go to my place. No, my place is also your home, haha."

Sun Ganchao also laughed and said, "Let's go to Guoqing. Anyway, he has been staying in your house for so many days, it's time to treat you to a good meal."

Zhou Chen looked at Xiao Guoqing and asked, "Have you talked to Wu Qian about this?"

Xiao Guoqing immediately became angry and said, "Kun'er, look at what you are saying. I am a grown man, and my word is law at home. What I say is done."

Sun Ganchao rolled his eyes and said, "Guoqing, forget it. We all know each other well, but we don't know you well. If Wu Qian doesn't agree, we won't go."

Xiao Guoqing angrily cursed: "You bastard, just go when I tell you to go, why are you talking so much nonsense, Wu Qian agreed."

Only then did Sun catch up with a sigh of relief: "Let me just say, if Wu Qian disagreed, you wouldn't say that."

Xiao Guoqing shouted angrily: "Catch up, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I am a henpecked husband?"

After several decades, "henpecked" is no longer a derogatory term, but in this era, probably few men can tolerate being called henpecked.

Zhou Chen tried to smooth things over, "Alright, catch up, Guoqing, stop arguing. Guoqing, you said you want to have a party, when are you going to have one?"

"How was it at noon on the third day of the Lunar New Year?" Xiao Guoqing asked.

Sun Ganchao: "I don't have anything to do in the third year of junior high school, so I'm free."

Zhou Chen also nodded: "Okay, then it's the third year of junior high school."

At this time, some people visit relatives and friends for the New Year, but most people stay at home. After all, entertainment activities nowadays are not as rich as they will be in the future, and eating in a restaurant is quite troublesome.

Xiao Guoqing emphasized: "By the way, Kun'er, catch up, you should bring your wives with you when the time comes."

"no problem."

After the date was set, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchaoren chatted with Zhou Chen for a while and then went back with their wives.

Zhou Chen said to Zheng Juan: "Juan'er, they asked us to have dinner with them on the third day of the National Day holiday. I agreed. You can go with me then."

When Zheng Juan heard this, she said in embarrassment, "Should I go too? Otherwise, I'd better not go. My parents, my eldest brother and my eldest sister-in-law are all at home, not to mention Ruirui. I'll stay at home and take care of them."

Zhou Chen said: "It's okay, they haven't seen each other for a long time. Give them some space and let them talk. Ruirui will also stay at home and let his parents take care of him."

"Do you have to go?"

Zheng Juan asked again. She was a family-oriented woman. If she were asked to choose between friends and family, she would definitely choose family without hesitation.

Zhou Chen embraced her and said softly, "Go ahead. You haven't interacted with others much this year. You can't stay at home all your life. You should go out and take a look around more often."

"What's so good about it? I feel that staying at home, taking care of you, taking care of mom, and taking care of the children is the happiest thing."

"Look at you, you're so silly."

Zhou Chen's face was full of love. Just ask, which man would not love Zheng Juan like this?

"In this life, there are always people you need to take care of. Juan'er, don't live for others forever, live for yourself too."

Zheng Juan smiled sweetly: "I don't understand the big truths you said, I only know that I will follow you in this life, and I will do whatever you ask me to do. As long as I can be with you, no matter what I do, I will feel happy."

"fool."

Zhou Chen touched Zheng Juan's cheek with emotion and said softly, "When I have time in the future, I will take you to travel around the country. If you want to go abroad, I will also take you there to travel around. You can go wherever you want."

Zheng Juan didn't say anything, but just held Zhou Chen's hand tightly. She didn't care where she went, she only cared about whether she was with Zhou Chen.

There were ten dishes on the table at noon, seven of which were meat dishes, which surprised Zhou Bingyi.

"Mom, Juan'er, why did you prepare so many dishes? It's even more sumptuous than last night."

Li Suhua laughed and said, "Of course it has to be rich. These things were prepared by Kun'er and Juan'er a long time ago, and they are just waiting for you to come back."

Zhou Bingyi asked Zhou Chen in surprise: "Kun'er, I'm very curious, how much is your monthly salary at the publishing house? Look at you, you've bought so many things, including a house. Everything you use and eat at home is good. Don't go the wrong way, kid?"

Zhou Chen said calmly, "The salary at the publishing house is not low, and I also write poems and articles, which is also extra income, so you don't have to worry too much, brother. Just eat as much as you want, I guarantee there will be no problem."

"You boy."
