The counterattack begins with Fan Shengmei in Ode to Joy

Chapter 316

In the movie "The Great Master", Ip Man once described the watershed in his life after his family business was taken over by the Japanese, "If there are four seasons in life, before the age of 40, my life will be spring."

After his father Hao Shaoqiang left suddenly, the Hao family didn't seem to have changed in any way, but the faint estrangement could still be felt.

"No, brother, why? Didn't you have a good time at the publishing house? Did they make you angry?" Hao Dongmei was very puzzled.

The mother sat on the sofa, silent and did not speak.

With a relaxed smile on his face, Zhuang Ziqiang said, "You don't bully. People don't make it so obvious that 'people go to cool down'."

"Then why didn't you do it?"

"I|did that job, it was my parents who found me, and it was also to reassure my parents. Now that my father is gone, I don't need to have so many scruples, I can concentrate on my own things."

Hao Dongmei looked at her mother, and her mother, Jin Yueji, said, "That's fine. When your father is here, whether you are an official or a business owner, you are always cautious, for fear of causing trouble for the family. Do it openly now." No one can talk about your own business."

"That's what I thought."

The mother and son reached a consensus, but Hao Dongmei was still unhappy. She subconsciously blamed her brother's resignation on the result of her father's leaving, because she could feel that subtle change recently.

After the couple returned to the room, she was still thinking about it.

To her husband Zhou Bingyi: "Bingyi, tell me, after Dad left, did those people's attitudes change obviously?"

Zhou Bingyi smiled wryly, how could he explain such things clearly.

"Obviously not, there is indeed such a slight difference. But don't be too sensitive, sometimes they may not even notice this change."

"If there is anything they don't notice, they just follow the wind."

"Don't think that way. You can learn from the second brother and be more sensible."

Hao Dongmei said angrily: "Second brother is generous, but once he resigns, people will feel that our family is down."

Zhou Bingyi put his arms around his wife's shoulders, "It's okay, isn't there me at home?"

Hao Dongmei glanced at her husband, "Then you have to work hard."

In order to make his wife happy, Zhou Bingyi casually said that when he thought of the gap between himself and his father-in-law, he couldn't help feeling desperate.

Zhuang Ziqiang didn't know about the conversation between Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi. After Hao Dongmei and his wife went upstairs, Zhuang Ziqiang and his mother talked about two topics.

One is about his marriage, and the other is about his residence after marriage.

His father passed away less than a month before he and Sun Xiaoning got married. According to the rules, he must be filial.

But the mother said: "The wedding is as usual. Our family doesn't have so many rules. If your father is alive, he definitely hopes that you can get married as soon as possible."

Since his mother said so, Zhuang Ziqiang did not argue.

He talked about the house he bought outside, and he wanted the whole family to move out.

The mother sighed, "Mom understands what you mean. The glory of this family belongs to your father. Once your father leaves, even if I am of a high level, I will retire. We will live here again, but let us People think we are at the end of our strength and trying to hold on."

"Mom, the decoration over there will be completed soon, and the conditions are no worse than here."

"After you get married, you young couple should move in. Mom is used to staying here, and there are still a few friends like your Auntie Qu to talk to here."

After his mother refused, Zhuang Ziqiang didn't continue talking.

In fact, he wanted to say that you should consider Dongmei.His mother is still there now, but if they really came to collect the house after his mother left, he was afraid that his younger sister would not be able to accept such a gap.

"Don't think so much. You are all grown-ups now. When we are all gone, you will have to take care of everything yourself."

It's not that his mother didn't understand what he was thinking. Zhuang Ziqiang guessed that she might be afraid that Dongmei and her husband would be uncomfortable if they lived with her.

Late at night, the mother and son went back to their rooms after talking.

On the eve of May Day, Zhuang Ziqiang's single-family Russian-style villa was finally renovated.

The exterior still maintains the original style, full of exotic flavors, but the interior has been modernized, and the decoration is magnificent and beautiful.

For this reason, Zhuang Ziqiang spent 3000 yuan including before and after buying the house.

If calculated in terms of purchasing power, it is at least equivalent to 500 million in later generations.

After the decoration was completed, Zhuang Ziqiang immediately ran to the bookstore and brought Sun Xiaoning over.

Pushing open the heavy courtyard door, a Russian-style single-family villa stood quietly, and Sun Xiaoning's eyes were full of joy.

"Brother Ziqiang, is this our house?"

"Wedding room, do you like it?"

Sun Xiaoning looked at the trees and green plants in the yard that had already sprouted green branches, and his heart was full of joy.

"love it."

Russian-style buildings are not uncommon in Jichun. The repainted facade is elegant and solemn. The yard in front of the villa is two to three hundred square meters, almost all of which are occupied by trees and flowers. These are the original layouts. Ziqiang didn't move, just maintained it.

Zhuang Ziqiang brought Sun Xiaoning closer to the villa. The decoration style was slightly ahead of this era, and it was a little more refined than the interior decoration of traditional Russian buildings.

In terms of spatial layout, it still maintains the magnificent momentum of Russian-style architecture, and the effect is full of aristocratic style, noble and elegant.

The first floor is divided into guest dining, kitchen and bathroom divisions, as well as a study and a bedroom, which were originally prepared for parents, but unfortunately they are no longer available.On the second floor are four bedrooms, a study and a living room, each bedroom is equipped with a separate bathroom.

Sun Xiaoning's eyes were dazzled.

Her family is still living in the narrow and dilapidated adobe house in the light-text film. It is the first time that she has approached such a luxurious villa. Thinking that this is where she will live with her lover in the future, her heart is filled with happiness.

She took Zhuang Ziqiang to check each room carefully, as if to imprint all this in her mind.

In the end, it was Zhuang Ziqiang who held her back, "Okay, the house is here, and it won't be lost. I'll have time to look at it later."

Sun Xiaoning still had an excited look on her face, because she was a little agitated after walking for too long, her face was flushed and she was slightly sweating.

A young girl's fragrance floated in the air, and Zhuang Ziqiang's throat twitched.

He stared into her eyes, full of aggression.

Sun Xiaoning was a little frightened by his stare, "Brother Ziqiang, don't look at me like that."

"Let me see what happened to my daughter-in-law?"

"I hate it!" Sun Xiaoning lowered her head shyly.

Zhuang Ziqiang was about to move, and with a light pull, he brought her soft body into his arms.
