The world of film and television begins from childhood

Not long after Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei came back, they rode away on their bikes. The others also started to wash up and prepare for bed.

With the addition of Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng, four rooms were not enough. The couple wanted to squeeze in with Feng Yue, but Feng Yue refused to agree. In the end, they could only temporarily put a bed in the study, and Feng Yue slept in the study angrily.

On New Year's Eve, the streets were very busy. Zheng Juan and Zhou Rong took the children out to play early. Zhou Chen was unable to refuse the dinner, so he went to have lunch with the city leaders.

The city leaders had a simple idea: no matter what, they had to keep Zhou Chen. For Ji Chun now, any investment was necessary.

What's more, they know the scale of Chenxing Group. If they invest, it will at least be several million. If it can reach tens of millions, or even more, it will be a huge achievement. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Because Zhou Chen was not at home at noon, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei did not go there at noon, but stayed at home and had lunch with Jin Yueji.

"Bingyi, your father is retired now. You must be filial to your parents in the future. They raised you three and trained you so well. You should be grateful."

Jin Yueji held the bowl and chopsticks and gave instructions to Zhou Bingyi.

Zhou Bingyi responded, "I see. My parents really have a hard time. My mom is fine because Bingkun and the kids are with her. But my dad has been suffering away from home for so many years. As a son, I can't help him at all."

Jin Yueji said with emotion: "Yes, your father is indeed a great person. The construction of the motherland depends on front-line workers like them. Without them, the construction of the third front line cannot be completed at all. Compared with us, their efforts are a little There are many."

"Perhaps it is because your father is such a person that he was able to cultivate three outstanding talents like you. Haha, he not only helped the country with his own hands, but also passed on his beliefs to the next generation. He is the hero behind the country."

Zhou Bingyi was very surprised that his mother-in-law, a high-ranking official, would give his father such a high evaluation.

"If my dad knew you said that about him, he would definitely be very happy."

Jin Yueji smiled, and then casually said: "Bingyi, come to think of it, your parents and I have never formally met, why don't you go back and ask your parents, we can find time to meet, you can come to our place, or you can go to your place."

"what?"

Zhou Bingyi was stunned, and Hao Dongmei was also stunned.

"Mom, what did you just say? You want to meet Bingyi's parents?"

Jin Yueji glared at her and said, "What Bingyi's parents? They are your parents-in-law too. You have no manners at all."

Hao Dongmei smiled embarrassedly and continued to ask: "Mom, is what you just said true?"

Zhou Bingyi also looked at Jin Yueji with anticipation.

Jin Yueji met the gaze of her daughter and son-in-law and sighed faintly, "Before, your father and I had no choice for various reasons and were unable to meet your parents, which led to misunderstandings. Today, so many years have passed, and I don't have many years left to live. There are still some things that need to be done."

She was willing to humble herself and say these words, not for herself, but more for her daughter and son-in-law, so she wanted to meet her in-laws.

Zhou Bingyi's face turned serious, and he immediately said, "Mom, I'll go back and discuss it with my parents tonight."

Jin Yueji nodded and said: "Well, go back and discuss with them. If they don't want to, don't force it. After all, it was because of us that they didn't see it. Later, something like that happened again. They didn't want to meet because of love Excuse me."

Zhou Bingyi comforted her, "Mom, don't think too much about it. My parents are not that kind of people."

Hao Dongmei also persuaded from the side: "Yes, Mom, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are very good people. When Bingyi goes back and tells them, they will definitely agree to meet."

"Hopefully."

Jin Yueji was not as reassured as they thought. She had never met the Zhou couple, but from the description of her daughter and son-in-law, she could more or less tell what kind of people they were.

She was not too worried about her in-laws because they both loved their children and she believed that their thoughts were not much different from hers.

What she was worried about was another person in the Zhou family, the youngest son.

She had seen how powerful this young man was, and she was also very clear that Zhou Chen's status in the eyes of the old couple of the Zhou family was definitely higher than Zhou Bingyi. Zhou Bingyi could influence the Zhou couple, but his influence was definitely not as great as Zhou Chen's.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was another rare reunion. Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua distributed the red envelopes they had prepared long ago one by one.

Starting from Zhou Bingyi and his wife, to Zhou Chen and his wife, and then to the three youngest children, they gave red envelopes to everyone.

Zhou Chen also prepared red envelopes, first giving one to each of his parents, and then giving one to each of his three children.

More money was given to parents, ten bills of 100 yuan each, totaling 1,000 yuan each, and one hundred yuan each for the three children.

Zhou Zhigang opened the red envelope and immediately became anxious: "Bingkun, why did you give me and your mother so much money? Just give us ten or eight yuan as a token of your appreciation."

One thousand yuan per person, two thousand yuan in total for two people. Even if he worked for two years, he couldn't save that much money. He felt that Zhou Chen was too extravagant.

Zhou Rong smiled and advised: "Dad, just accept what Bingkun gave you. In your eyes, this amount of money is a lot, but in his eyes, it is no different from one or two dollars."

She also knew Zhou Chen's abilities and his assets, and this incident shocked her greatly.

But there is one good thing about her. Even though she knew that Zhou Chen was so rich and capable, she never thought of asking Zhou Chen for help or anything. She was just envious and jealous.

Li Suhua has lived with Zhou Chen for so many years and knows her youngest son's character very well. She is also much more open-minded than Zhou Zhigang.

"Dad, just accept what Bingkun gave you. After the New Year, we will buy delicious food for the children."

Zhou Zhigang still felt a little uncomfortable. He was used to being frugal, and seeing Zhou Chen giving money like this, even giving a hundred to a child, was quite a shock.

He told Zhou Chen, "Bingkun, I'll take it this time, don't let it happen again. Also, although you are very rich now, you still have to be careful about how you spend it. It's not easy to make money, don't be extravagant, understand?"

Zhou Chen knew that his father's consciousness had not yet changed, so he did not refute.

"Don't worry, Dad. I get it."

With Zhou Chen's introduction, Zhou Bingyi and his wife felt a little embarrassed, because they had prepared red envelopes, but only for their three children, not for their parents.

The same thing happened to Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng on the other side, but they were not as embarrassed as Zhou Bingyi and his wife. They just gave red envelopes to their three children generously.

Li Suhua saw the embarrassment of her eldest son and his wife, so she took the initiative to resolve the situation and asked them to give the red envelopes to their three children.

After Zhou Rui's three children received the red envelopes, they all happily put them away.

When it comes to red envelopes and pocket money, Zhou Chen has never asked them to hand it over. Zheng Juan used to do it, but later Zhou Chen talked her out of it.

Zhou Cong, the youngest of the three children, is almost twelve years old this year. It is normal for children of this age to have some private money of their own.

These three children have good character, so even if we become rich, we don’t have to worry about them becoming bad people.

It is not necessarily correct to raise children richly, but it is not without merit. The way children are educated is actually directly related to family conditions.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Zhou Bingyi took his parents into the room and told them what his mother-in-law meant.

Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua were both surprised after hearing what Zhou Bingyi said.

The events of that year were still vivid in their minds, and suddenly they learned that their in-laws actually wanted to meet, which made the old couple think a lot.

"Bingyi, did Dongmei's mother really say that?"

Zhou Zhigang didn't speak, but Li Suhua asked in confirmation.

Zhou Bingyi answered affirmatively: "Yes, Mom, Dongmei's mom mentioned this to us during lunch today. Dad, Mom, I know that everyone was unhappy about what happened a few years ago, but this time, I think she is very sincere; and I also feel that Dongmei's mom has changed a lot over the years, and this time she is absolutely sincere."

Li Suhua explained: "That's not what I meant, but, dad, you should say it."

Zhou Bingyi could only look at his father Zhou Zhigang, who had a frown on his face at this time.

In fact, when he heard that Jin Yueji wanted to meet them, he was happy, because this was the thing he cared about most in the past few years.

But things are different now. It’s not because the Hao family is not a high-ranking official now, but because of the grudges caused by what happened back then.

He admitted that he was a little vain at first, so he wanted to meet the Hao couple. He also wanted the Hao couple to recognize them and their son Zhou Bingyi.

But so many years had passed since the incident, and he no longer had the same original thoughts in his mind. Instead, he felt a little uncomfortable.

You said you would meet, but in the end it didn't happen and there was no follow-up. Then, they were not even notified of the funeral of senior official Hao. This is really a humiliation.

As a relative, they didn't even notify you of the funeral and didn't want you to come. What kind of relative are you?

So although Zhou Zhigang didn't say anything over the years, he was actually always uncomfortable in his heart. He just didn't show it because he knew it was difficult to be the eldest son.

Now that he heard that Jin Yueji wanted to meet again, he didn't want to see her more than he wanted to.

The reason why you don't want to see us is very simple. We are not someone you can call upon and dismiss at will. When you want to see us, we will wait to see you. If you don't want to see us anymore, we can only agree.

The respect was mutual, but he didn't feel much respect.

But when he looked at the eagerness and anticipation on his eldest son's face, he suddenly couldn't say no.

…………

By the time Zhou Chen found out about this, it was already the evening of New Year's Day.

"what?"

Zhou Chen put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at his father Zhou Zhigang in surprise: "Dad, you said you wanted to meet my sister-in-law's mother?"

Zhou Zhigang frowned and scolded in dissatisfaction: "Bingkun, how can you be so rude? She is your sister-in-law's mother, your elder, how can you call her by her name directly?"

Zhou Chen snorted in dissatisfaction, "She is only Zhou Bingyi's elder, not my elder. Dad, Mom, do you really want to meet her? Have you forgotten how her family treated our family back then?"

Zhou Rong had just learned the news, and it was rare for her to stand on the same front with Zhou Chen.

"Bingkun is right. Have you forgotten what happened back then? How they humiliated our family. Now she wants to meet again. What does she think of our family?"

Zhou Zhigang said in a deep voice: "What happened back then had its reasons. Besides, that's your sister-in-law's family. As relatives, we should meet each other."

Zhou Chen sneered, "If she really wanted to meet, she could have met him many years ago. Why did she wait until now? Haha..."

Zhou Zhigang was a little unhappy when he saw his youngest son's disdainful expression: "Bingkun, it's good for both of our families to meet. We can't always live in the past and can't always hold grudges against the past. You have to learn to move on and solve this problem peacefully."

"You are my elder, and you are right, but I am a person of low consciousness and stubborn mind. You can forget what happened in the past, but I can't."

Zhou Chen was silent, and said slowly: "Dad, I have no objection to you meeting her, but I don't want to meet her, let alone talk about reconciliation."

Zhou Zhigang's face darkened: "Dongmei's mother invited our family to visit her home tomorrow. If you don't go, what will it mean?"

But Zhou Chen still had no intention of changing his mind.

"You guys are going to meet her in-laws, why should I follow? Not only me, but Zheng Juan and the children won't go either."

"Bingkun."

Zhou Zhigang slammed the table in anger. Li Suhua's face changed again. She couldn't help but think of what happened many years ago.

"Dad, if you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. Why are you so angry?"

Zhou Zhigang also realized that he was too impulsive. He said angrily: "I want to talk to him nicely, but look at his attitude."

"Shut up and let me talk."

Li Suhua glared at him, then looked at Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, I know you don't want to do this, but this is about your elder brother after all. You are brothers, so just think of it as helping him. I'm just asking you to go. If you don't want to talk, you don't have to say anything."

But Zhou Chen was very determined this time, but when facing Li Suhua, his tone became much softer.

"Mom, you should understand me. If it's someone I hate, I won't even pretend to be nice to him. Please don't make it difficult for me."

Li Suhua sighed in her heart. She wanted to bring honor to her eldest son, but Zhou Chen was also her younger son. She couldn't let her more filial younger son be sacrificed for the sake of her eldest son.

There is no such truth.

Although she has never been to school, the scale in her heart is fairer than that of many educated people.

"Dad, why don't you just forget it? If Bingkun doesn't want to go, just let him go. But if you insist on letting him go, I'm afraid..."

Zhou Zhigang's face suddenly changed. Although his wife hadn't finished speaking, he already understood what his wife meant. If Zhou Chen was forced to go, Zhou Chen's face would suddenly change when they met again, and it would be even more difficult to end.

Thinking of this, he was also frightened, but he still kept a straight face.

"I see that you have become more capable now and don't even listen to your parents. If you don't want to go, it's up to you. You can explain it to your eldest brother afterwards."

Zhou Chen didn't take it seriously at all and sat down to eat again.

Zhou Rong, who was sitting at the table, saw that Zhou Zhigang actually agreed, her eyes lit up, and she quickly said: "Dad, I don't want to go either, I think..."

But before she could finish her words, Zhou Zhigang interrupted her rudely: "Shut up, you have to go."

Zhou Rong immediately shrank her neck, and dared not bring it up again.

The second day of the Chinese New Year is the beginning of the year for returning to one’s parents’ home, but there is no one left at Zheng Juan’s parents’ home, and her only younger brother is still in Pengcheng, so there is no need for the family to return.

Zhou Bingyi came early in the morning after dinner and left home with his parents and sister.

He also invited Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen ignored him at all, and he was so angry that he could only leave in anger.

Zhou Chen didn't go, and neither did Zheng Juan. Instead, Zhou Rui was dragged there by Zhou Bingyi, who said that Hao Dongmei missed him very much. Zhou Rui had no choice but to leave with Zhou Chen after getting his consent.

Feng Yue and Zhou Cong also went with them, but Feng Yue went with them to Hao's house, while Zhou Cong and Zhou Chen asked their mother to send him to Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen.

So, in the end, the only ones left at home were Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan.

Zhou Chen naturally would not waste any of this rare time together. After breakfast, they returned to bed to rest.

I can't help it, I'm too tired these days, I probably won't be able to get up during the day today...

The second day of the Chinese New Year seems to be particularly long.
