"Fuck grandson?"
Hao Dongmei found it unbelievable. Uncle Ma and Aunt Qu were both veteran cadres. She didn't expect that Zhou Chen was related to them, and Zhou Rui even became their godson.
Mr. Hao and Ms. Jin Yueji are Hao Dongmei's parents, and they are both confused at the moment.
"Dongmei, what's going on? Who is this child?" Jin Yueji asked her daughter Hao Dongmei.
Hao Dongmei immediately explained: "Dad, Mom, this is the Ruirui I told you about before, the eldest son of Bingyi's brother Zhou Bingkun, Zhou Rui. I just didn't expect that Uncle Ma and the others also knew Bingkun and his family."
Only then did Hao's father and Jin Yueji figure out the relationship. They actually didn't know much about their in-laws.
I heard my daughter talk about it several times, but the person she talked about the most was Zhou Rui, so they all have an impression of him.
Jin Yueji knew her daughter's situation, so she understood why her daughter liked Zhou Rui, but Hao's father was a little strange, but since they were relatives, he didn't say anything.
Jin Yueji asked again: "Why didn't you come back yesterday?"
Zhou Bingyi quickly explained: "I'm sorry, Mom. We had a family dinner yesterday and I couldn't control myself. I drank too much. Dongmei was worried, so we didn't come back that night."
This was the reason he agreed with Hao Dongmei on the way.
Jin Yueji didn't say anything, but Father Hao said in a deep voice: "Bingyi, it's okay to drink, but you must not let it cause any trouble, understand?"
Zhou Bingyi nodded repeatedly: "I know, Dad, this time it's my fault."
Father Hao didn't say anything else, but Jin Yueji introduced Zhou Bingyi: "Bingyi, come here, this is your Uncle Ma and Aunt Qu. Your Uncle Ma is the dean of the Military Academy. They are all old friends of ours and live in a yard not far from us."
Zhou Bingyi immediately understood that anyone who could live in the provincial compound must not be an ordinary person, so he hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
Ma Shouchang laughed and said, "No need. Since you are Bingkun's elder brother and Ruirui's uncle, we are related. Just call me uncle."
Because Zhou Rui was there, Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen were not in a hurry to leave, but talked to Zhou Rui.
Zhou Rui was a little child. When he heard Grandpa Ma asking about his father, he remembered what happened last night and told him about it.
"Dad had a quarrel with grandpa and aunt, they..."
"Rui Rui."
When Zhou Bingyi heard this, he quickly spoke up to stop them, his face looking very unhappy. He already had a low status in the Hao family, and if his father-in-law and mother-in-law knew about his family's dire situation, who knows how they would look at him.
Although he stopped Zhou Rui from saying the next word, everyone heard what he said before, and the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became awkward.
Qu Xiuzhen was a smart person. When she saw that the atmosphere was not right, she immediately smiled and said, "Ruirui, grandma will take you outside to play for a while. Old Ma, didn't you say you wanted to build a snowman for Ruirui? Let's go build one now."
Ma Shouchang slapped his head and said, "Oh, right, I almost forgot. Then, Brother Hao, Sister Jin, let's take Ruirui out to play for a while."
Mr. and Mrs. Hao smiled and responded twice. After they left, Mr. Hao stood up immediately.
"Dongmei, you guys stay and talk to your mom. I still have work to do, so I'll go to the study first."
Zhou Bingyi looked unhappy. He clearly felt that his father-in-law was being perfunctory towards him.
He knew that his father-in-law was a high-ranking official with great power, and he did not expect his father-in-law to value him, but this disregard and perfunctory attitude still made him feel uncomfortable.
Jin Yueji was a smart person and she saw through her son-in-law's thoughts, but she couldn't say anything about the Zhou family's affairs.
"Bingyi, when are you going to Yanjing?"
"We start school on the 22nd, but Dongmei and I have discussed going there earlier. Our plan is to go there on the eighth day of the new year, which is the 14th."
Jin Yueji nodded, then looked at her daughter with heartache.
"Dongmei, don't feel any psychological pressure. If it can be cured, we will treat it. If it can't be cured, we will wait a little longer. In a few years, when medical technology is advanced, there may be a way."
Hao Dongmei didn't say anything, just nodded, but her heart was full of anticipation for this trip to Yanjing.
Although the hope is slim, she still wants to try her best, maybe there will be hope.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Hao Dongmei told Jin Yueji that they were going to her father-in-law's house for lunch. Jin Yueji was a little disappointed, but did not object.
Compared to Hao's father, she is actually quite open-minded and the one who sees things most clearly in the family. It's just that their experiences in recent years have made the couple more closed-minded.
Hao Dongmei talked to her mother for a while, then made an excuse to go out and play with Zhou Rui, leaving Zhou Bingyi alone to face Jin Yueji awkwardly.
"Bingyi, I heard from Dongmei that your brother works in a publishing house and was admitted to a university this time. Which university did he go to?"
Jin Yueji became more curious about Zhou Bingkun because she knew the situation of Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen. The fact that they were willing to adopt a child as their grandson showed that they must like the child's father, Zhou Bingkun, very much.
"It's also in the capital, at Yenching Medical College."
"Really? Then you two brothers are both attending college in the same city. That's good, you can help each other."
"Not only my brother, but my sister was also admitted to the university, Peking University, the same school as me, but I majored in philosophy and she majored in Chinese."
"really?"
Jin Yueji was really surprised. All three children of the Zhou family were admitted to college, and they were all prestigious universities. It was amazing. It really made her look at them with new eyes.
"Your parents are so lucky that all three of their children have been admitted to prestigious universities."
Zhou Bingyi also smiled. He said this because he wanted to earn face for his family and make his parents-in-law look at them with new eyes.

Chapter 590 Cai Xiaoguang's request for help, preparing to go to college
A few days passed in a flash.
Ever since Zhou Zhigang brought his wife and daughter back to Guangzi Pian, discussions about the Zhou family have never stopped since the next day.
Everyone in Guangzi Piece knows that the Zhou family is now the most famous family in Guangzi Piece. The three children are very promising. They were admitted to famous universities and became the envy of everyone.
But the neighbors all knew that the Zhou family had moved into a big house and seldom came back to visit. In recent years, they had not come back to celebrate the New Year.
As a result, Zhou Zhigang suddenly took his family back to Guangzi Pian overnight, but Zhou Bingkun, who had been staying at home, did not come back, which naturally caused widespread discussion.
Given Zhou Zhigang's personality, with all three of his children admitted to prestigious universities, in the past he would have definitely visited every household to wish them a happy new year.
But this time, he didn't dare go out and stayed at home.
What annoyed him was that he hid at home and didn't go out, but his neighbors came to visit him one after another. Although he was in a bad mood, he could only greet them with a smile.
Although the neighbors were all talking about the Zhou family, without exception, many people wanted to have a relationship with the Zhou family.
All three children of the Zhou family were admitted to prestigious universities. Anyone with a little wisdom would know that the Zhou family will definitely be very successful in the future.
Even if we put this point aside, there is another point that people who only care about words pay attention to.
That is Zhou Bingyi, the eldest son of the Zhou family. His wife is the daughter of a high-ranking official in Jiangliao Province, a top-notch figure. Just based on this point, she is envied and hated.
Especially when Zhou Bingyi brought Hao Dongmei back to Guangzi Pian, it attracted countless people to watch. Everyone was curious about what the daughter of Hao Gaoguan looked like.
Although Zhou Zhigang was still in a bad mood, he felt quite proud when he saw the compliments from his neighbors, which alleviated a lot of his sadness.
Zhou Rong has been very unhappy these days because Feng Yue has never called her mom once, but has called Feng Huacheng dad several times instead.
Her daughter's estrangement made her even more dissatisfied with Zhou Chen. She felt that it must be Zhou Chen who was behind it, otherwise her daughter would not have treated her like this.
She wanted to settle the score with Zhou Chen, but after thinking about it, she decided to give up. She still hadn't forgotten how fiercely Zhou Chen hit her.
She also thought about asking her father to help her get justice, but unfortunately, Zhou Zhigang didn't mention Zhou Chen at all, as if he didn't have a son, so it was naturally impossible for him to help her get justice.
Zhou Chen had not been to Guangzi Pian once in the past few days, but Zheng Juan had been there twice with her two children and brought a lot of things there. Zhou Chen saw it but did not say anything.
On the sixth day of the New Year, it’s lunch time.
"Bingkun, Dad is leaving soon, are you really not going to go see him?"
Zheng Juan asked Zhou Chen carefully. She had advised him several times over the past few days, but Zhou Chen simply didn't listen.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "No."
Zheng Juan looked helpless: "Bingkun, I know you are angry about Dad's partiality, but after all, he is also your elder. You have been angry for so many days, so just forget it."
"Juan'er, I know you mean well, but this matter is not as simple as you think. If I admit my mistake, it may cause more trouble in the future."
Zhou Chen already knew Zhou Zhigang's character very well, so he would never admit his mistake. Besides, it was not his fault, so why should he admit it?
Zheng Juan said, "What do you mean it's not that simple? I think you're just overthinking it. Dad is just angry that you don't listen to him. Dad is partial to your sister, but even parents can't treat everyone equally."
Zhou Chen shook his head and sighed, "You are still too naive. Some things cannot be indulged. The more we do this, the more he will take it for granted. It is our responsibility as children to be filial to our parents, but we cannot be blindly filial. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand. I just know that this is a very simple matter, but you guys made it so complicated."
"Okay, why are you speaking so stiffly today, like a tiger woman."
"I'm not doing this for your own good."
In Zheng Juan's eyes, her husband is the most capable and intelligent man in the world, but she can't understand why her husband has to be so entangled in these things.
For her, a harmonious family is the key to success. Sometimes, even if she suffers a little loss or is wronged, as long as everyone is fine, she can accept it.
Zhou Chen naturally understood her thoughts, but after so many years of living together, he realized that sometimes, if you take a step back, others will not take a step back as well.
Many times, when you take a step back, others will take a step forward, pushing you step by step until they push you into a desperate situation.
At that time you will only have two choices: one is to suffer until death, and the other is to rise up in resistance.
But if someone is used to retreating when encountering problems, how much power can you expect him to have in fighting back?
It’s just like those honest people in the real world who are finally forced into a corner and do something sensational.
But in reality, how much impact did they bring to society? How much waves did they stir up? They were quickly forgotten.
So for Zhou Chen, the premise of taking a step back is that others can understand you. If you take a step back and others still push for more, then there is no point in taking a step back. Damn it.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I asked you to pack your things. How are you doing?"
Zheng Juan replied: "I have almost prepared everything I need to prepare. It won't be too late to pack clothes and other things before I leave."
At this point, she hesitated for a moment: "Bingkun, do you really have to take us with you? If we go with you, we will definitely be a burden to you."
Zhou Chen smiled and touched her face, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are my wife, and I will definitely take you with me. I know what you are worried about, but haven't I explained it to you? I will find a way to support you and the children, and ensure that your quality of life is better than it is now."
It is already 78, and the era of buying things in fixed quantities will soon be over. Moreover, as the capital, Yanjing’s conditions in all aspects are definitely not comparable to Jichun’s.
Although the living standard is definitely higher than at home and prices are also high, for Zhou Chen, he has many ways to make money and there is absolutely no problem in supporting a family of several people.
"What about mom? What if our dad doesn't let her go with us?"
"This is not the first time I have done something like this. Don't worry about Mom. She will definitely listen to me."
"And Yueyue, mom said that my sister and brother-in-law probably won't bring Yueyue with them when they return to Yanjing."
"Of course, Yueyue will definitely follow us. I would be even more worried if I leave the child to them to raise."
After all, she was raised by him since childhood, and two years is enough time for them to develop feelings for each other, so Zhou Chen naturally couldn't bear to part with Feng Yue.
"It's settled. I'll go to Yanjing in a few days, arrange the house and other things, and then come back to take you. After dad and the others leave, you will immediately go and bring mom and Yueyue back, understand?"
"Okay, I get it now."
At this time, Guangming said hesitantly: "Brother-in-law, why don't I not go, I..."
"Stop it, Guangming. I've told you so many times not to say such things. If you do this again, your brother-in-law will be really angry."
Although Zheng Guangming couldn't see, he could hear Zhou Chen's tone. He pursed his lips and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Bingkun, Zhou Bingkun."
Suddenly someone outside called Zhou Chen's name. As soon as Zhou Chen heard the voice, he immediately knew who it was.
"It's Cai Xiaoguang, you guys eat first, I'll go take a look."
Zhou Chen put on his clothes, walked out the door, and saw that it was indeed Cai Xiaoguang.
"Cai Xiaoguang, why are you here?"
Cai Xiaoguang was also very happy to see Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, Happy New Year, I haven't had time to come over. Where's Zhou Rong? I heard she's back. Is she home?"
Seeing that Cai Xiaoguang simply said hello and started asking Zhou Rong, Zhou Chen couldn't help but say "dog licker".
"She did come back, but she doesn't live here. She lives in Guangzi Pian."
"Light word piece?"
Cai Xiaoguang was stunned. "Hasn't your family moved here? Why did she go to Guangzi Pian? Is there not enough room for her here?"
He had been to Zhou Chen's house several times and knew very well that the area was not small. Logically speaking, even if Zhou Rong and the others came back, they could still fit in if they squeezed in. There was no need to go to Guangzi Pian.
Zhou Chen smiled and didn't explain. He just asked, "What do you want to see Zhou Rong about?"
Cai Xiaoguang is also an old bootlicker. Zhou Rong has been back for several days, but he didn't come to her immediately. This surprised him.
Cai Xiaoguang's expression changed slightly, and then he said with a smile: "I miss her, after all, I haven't seen her for nine years."
