The world of film and television begins from childhood

When he went to Yanjing two years ago, he left a key to Shao Jingwen and asked him to look after it when he was free.

When Zhou Chen and his friends returned home, the house was still tidy and it was obvious that someone had cleaned it.

However, Li Suhua and Zheng Juan, who had not returned for two years, did not even have time to rest and started cleaning the room, from inside to outside, even the yard was not spared. The family was busy for several hours before they cleaned the whole place.

In the next few days, Li Shuhua and Zheng Juan continued to clean the house, while Zhou Bingyi went to the Hao family to accompany Hao Dongmei.

Zhou Chen first went to Shao Jingwen's home to have a meal with the old leader and reminisce about the past.

Two years ago, since he left, Shao Jingwen took the initiative to retreat to the second line. Now he is a leader in the logistics department of the publishing house, responsible for logistics work, which can be regarded as retirement.

When seeing Shao Jingwen again, Zhou Chen clearly felt that he had aged a lot and gained some weight, but his spirit was still pretty good.

After meeting Shao Jingwen, Zhou Chen went to the provincial compound to visit Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen, and brought Zheng Juan and three children with him.

This made Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen happy. Their family rarely had visitors, and even if there were, most of them came to ask for help.

Zhou Rui is their grandson now, which means he is a relative, so the meaning is naturally different.

Zhou Chen's family stayed at Ma Shouchang's house from morning till night and even had two meals. During this time, Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen kept smiling and looked very happy.

In the evening, Zhou Chen arrived at the gate of the sawmill.

Many years have passed, and the gate of the sawmill seems to have not changed, but Zhou Chen remembers that when he came to the sawmill to wait for Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing, the inside and outside of the gate were cleaned spotlessly, including the doorplate, which was spotless.

But at this moment, the inside and outside of the gate looked very desolate, with debris flying everywhere, and a desolate scene.

The factory is clearly still there, but it looks as if it has gone bankrupt. How long has it been since?

Workers walked out in twos and threes. There was no enthusiasm on their faces, only numbness.

Zhou Chen shook his head. Given the current situation, it would be strange if the sawmill didn't go bankrupt. That was because it was a state-owned factory. If it were a private enterprise, it would have gone bankrupt long ago.

After waiting for a long time, Zhou Chen finally saw Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing coming out in factory uniforms, pushing their bicycles.

"Catch up, National Day."

Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing were discussing whether the factory could pay wages normally during the Chinese New Year this year when they suddenly heard someone shouting and immediately looked up.

"Kun'er?"

When the two saw Zhou Bingkun, they both felt incredible, then rubbed their eyes vigorously, and after confirming, they quickly walked over.

Throwing the bicycle aside, they each gave Zhou Chen a hug.

"Kun'er, you finally came back. It's been two years. I thought you were living a good life in the capital and forgot about us brothers."

"It's good to be back. We brothers can finally be reunited."

Both of them expressed their true feelings, and Zhou Chen was also very happy. He has known these two for more than ten years. Although everyone has their own shortcomings and ideas, the friendship between them as childhood friends is sincere.

"Let's go. This is our first meeting in two years. Of course we need to have a nice meal with good wine and food."

Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing hurriedly said, "Kun'er, we must treat you to this meal."

"We brothers shouldn't be so clear-cut."

"No, this meal must be ours. Let's go."

…………

On the 28th day of the lunar year, Zhou Chen and Zhou Bingyi were waiting near the platform of the train station. Today was the day Zhou Zhigang would go home.

"Bingkun, don't forget what mom and I told you. When you see dad later, be more enthusiastic and have a better attitude. Do you hear me?"

Zhou Bingyi was happy but a little nervous as he was about to see his father.

Of course, he was happy because he could see his father again, but he was nervous because he was afraid that Zhou Chen and Zhou Zhigang would fight again.

Zhou Chen said impatiently: "I know, brother, you have said it dozens of times along the way, my ears are callused, can you give me a break?"

Zhou Bingyi said impatiently: "It's not enough to just hear it, you have to listen to it."

"Okay, I'm afraid of you. I promise you that I will behave better and will never quarrel with our dad again. Okay?"

Zhou Chen was helpless. He didn't want to quarrel with Zhou Zhigang at all. He was not a child who had really been wronged. He just felt unhappy about what Zhou Zhigang had done.

After all, he did not fully assume the identity of a son in front of Zhou Zhigang. He looked at Zhou Zhigang more as a bystander and felt that he was biased.

As for how deep the hatred is, it is not that serious. As long as Zhou Zhigang does not get angry with him or act sarcastic to him, he will not go against Zhou Zhigang.

Chapter 600: Zhou's father and son reconcile, Hao Dongmei angrily scolds her mother

After waiting at the train station for more than an hour, I finally saw Zhou Zhigang, who looked dusty and carrying several bags, like a migrant worker.

"dad."

When Zhou Bingyi saw Zhou Zhigang, he rushed over excitedly.

Zhou Zhigang was also overjoyed. He put down his bag and gave Zhou Bingyi a hug.

"Bingyi, you've had a good time in college these past two years. You've become fairer and more energetic."

Zhou Bingyi, who was studying at Peking University, naturally did not need to be exposed to the wind and sun, so his skin was much better than when he was in the Construction Corps.

Zhou Bingyi laughed and said, "Dad, we finally meet again. We all missed you so much."

"I miss you guys too."

Zhou Zhigang felt bad. The old woman went to Yanjing with her youngest son's family, and she could see her eldest son and daughter at any time and enjoy family happiness.

But he was alone in a distant mountain town and could only miss his relatives without being able to see them.

Zhou Chen walked up to Zhou Zhigang and called out calmly, "Dad."

This time, Zhou Zhigang did not respond coldly. Instead, he patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder.

"Bingkun, you are great. I heard from Bingyi that you took good care of your mother. Dad is very grateful to you. You have really grown up."

Zhou Chen said softly: "Dad, this is what I should do. It's you who has suffered. I was inconsiderate in the past and made you angry."

Zhou Zhigang's expression twitched, and he patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder: "Alright, stop talking. Dad is also wrong. Let's go home. I miss not only you but also the children. I haven't seen them for two years. I don't know if the children still recognize me."

Zhou Bingyi laughed and said, "Of course I know you. You are their grandfather and grandmother. Even if they don't know anyone else, they must know you."

"Hahaha... Bingyi, what you said makes Dad feel relieved. Let's go home."

When Zhou Zhigang returned home, the family was immediately filled with joy. Except for Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng, all the members of the Zhou family had gathered.

Without Zhou Rong, the dining atmosphere was much more stable and harmonious. Although Zhou Chen and Zhou Zhigang spoke very little, they were no longer as confrontational as before.

Old lady Li Suhua was the happiest one. Among all the reunion dinners in recent years, this was the happiest one she had ever had.

After dinner, Zhou Bingyi took the initiative to get water for Zhou Zhigang and then helped Zhou Zhigang wash his feet.

"Dad, how's the water temperature?"

"Very good, very good."

Zhou Zhigang enjoyed his eldest son washing his feet and waved to Zhou Cong.

"Congcong, come here."

Compared to the lively and active Zhou Rui, Zhou Cong seemed more quiet. When he heard his grandfather's call, he hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

"grandfather."

Zhou Zhigang touched Zhou Cong's hair and said with a happy smile: "After two years, our little grandson has grown up so much. Great, great."

Although he does not spend much time with his two grandsons, his affection for them is no less. They are his grandsons and the hope of his Zhou family.

"Congcong, come out quickly. Sister will help you set off firecrackers."

Feng Yue outside was shouting loudly to Zhou Cong. When Zhou Cong heard it, he immediately became anxious.

Zhou Zhigang took one look and patted his head with a smile: "Go ahead, go play with your brothers and sisters."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Zhou Cong ran outside happily and played with firecrackers with Zhou Rui and Feng Yue.

"Haha."

Listening to the laughter of the three children outside, Zhou Zhigang also laughed happily.

Zhou Bingyi, who was washing his feet, joked, "Dad, you must be very happy to have your son and grandson around you."

Zhou Zhigang laughed: "Of course, you are all descendants of my Zhou family. Of course I am happy to see you. Only Xiaorong hasn't come back, otherwise our family would be reunited."

After washing his feet, Zhou Bingyi took out the things he had prepared long ago: "Dad, these things were given to me by my former comrades in the Corps. They are all good things. I will keep them for you. Eat them when you need them and drink them when you need them."

When Zhou Zhigang saw it, he immediately said, "Why are you keeping it for me? Hurry up and pack it up and send it to Dongmei's parents."

Hao Dongmei smiled and said, "Dad, just keep it. Bingyi's comrades-in-arms sent two copies, and the other one was delivered to our house a long time ago."

"It has been delivered, that's right."

After learning that his eldest son had already sent one, Zhou Zhigang nodded in satisfaction, and then suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute."

He ran to the room, rummaged through the bag he brought back, found two things wrapped in oil paper, and placed them in front of everyone.

"Look, look, these are two tubes of tea I brought from your province. They are rare treasures, Dongmei, take them to your father and mother."

Looking at the two tubes of tea handed to her by her father-in-law, Hao Dongmei was at a loss as to what to do. She could not help but look at Zhou Bingyi, hoping that Zhou Bingyi would make the decision.

Zhou Bingyi didn't show any expression, but still nodded to Hao Dongmei. With Li Suhua's smiling and persuading her, Hao Dongmei finally felt at ease to take it.

"Thank you, Dad."

"We're all family, what are you thanking me for?"

Zhou Zhigang was very happy. In his eyes, his eldest son's marriage to Hao Dongmei was a move above his station, since she was now a high-ranking official in the province and he had to curry favor with her.

Zhou Chen watched from the side and did not stop it.

He knew what the Hao couple were thinking, but Cai Xiaoguang had not asked for help yet, and Zhou Bingyi had not asked the Hao couple for help. He didn't know what the Hao couple would think of their Zhou family.

Do they still not want to acknowledge the in-law relationship and have no contact with each other, or do they just go with the flow and have the two families meet to improve their relationship?

According to his guess, the former possibility is more likely.

But what these in-laws did was really weird. They had been married for so many years, but the two families had never met each other once. They were not thousands of miles apart, but lived in the same city.

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei did not plan to stay here. After dinner, they stayed for a while and then rode away on their bikes.

As soon as the two of them left, the house suddenly became much quieter. Zhou Chen was helping Zheng Juan clean up when Zhou Zhigang suddenly called him.

"Bingkun, come here with me. I want to talk to you."

Zhou Chen was very surprised that Zhou Zhigang would take the initiative to talk to him.

Zheng Juan pushed Zhou Chen aside and said, "Bingkun, Dad is calling you, hurry over."

Zhou Chen followed Zhou Zhigang into the room.

"Close the door."

Zhou Zhigang waved to Zhou Chen: "Come, come and sit down, let's have a good talk."

Zhou Chen sat down next to Zhou Zhigang: "Dad, you go ahead."

Zhou Zhigang smiled and said, "I heard from your mother that you did well in Yanjing Medical College. You went to the hospital for internship in your first year and even received a scholarship, right?"

"Well, it was all thanks to the help of the school leaders."

"That's right, Bingyi, Xiaorong and you. Of the three of you, I was most worried about you. It's not that I have an opinion about you, but your performance in school was really bad. You were far worse than your older brother and your older sister. You suddenly got admitted to university. To be honest, I was a little worried that you wouldn't be able to continue, haha."

"But you didn't disappoint me. Not only did you get in and out, you did it really well. You brought honor to me, your father."

Zhou Zhigang patted his face, very happy.

Originally, he looked down on Zhou Chen, but in the past two years, the old lady and Zhou Bingyi wrote to him from time to time, telling him about the situation at home, which allowed him to learn a lot.

Especially what his wife Li Suhua said in the letter about their daughter Zhou Rong really disappointed him.

He never expected that his most beloved daughter would do such a thing. Even his biological mother began to complain. On the contrary, his youngest son, whom he used to look down upon, was particularly filial and took very good care of his wife.

So this time when he returned home, he had convinced himself not to confront his youngest son anymore. Even for the sake of his wife and grandson, he should not continue to be in such a stalemate with his youngest son.

If he had not let go of his grudge, he would not have followed Zhou Chen to his house today. He must have gone there to look for his friends.

"dad."

Just as Zhou Chen was about to speak, Zhou Zhigang pressed his shoulder.
