Chapter 578 New Year's Day, Sensible Zheng Juan, Gathering

The first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, also known as 'Yuanshuo', 'Spring Festival', etc., is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also the most important festival in our country's traditional festivals.

This morning, the first one to wake up in the Zhou family was not Li Suhua, nor Zheng Juan, but the youngest Zhou Rui.

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

Both Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan were woken up by their son's laughter, and Zheng Juan whispered, "This kid wakes up so early every day, so he must have disturbed his parents and them to sleep."

Zhou Chen said: "It's okay, the old man sleeps lightly, even without Rui Rui's noise, they would wake up very early."

Zheng Juan sat up from the bed: "I got up to cook, today is the first day of the new year, I want to eat better in the morning."

In the Northeast, Zhou Chen also lived for several years. In the real world, they don't pay too much attention there. They usually eat glutinous rice balls and dumplings in the morning. In short, it is relatively simple and not that complicated.

But here, there is more food in the morning on the first day of the new year every year. Even if the conditions were not good before, Li Suhua would prepare a few things in the morning.

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

The conditions are better now, and there are so many people in the family. Naturally, there will be more of them earlier. These are basically prepared yesterday, just warm up in the morning.

"Well, be careful, don't carry heavy things."

While talking, Zhou Chen also got up, and their movement also woke up Zheng Guangming.

Guangming got up immediately and said, "Sister, I'll cook for you."

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

"It's okay, sister, I'm already awake, and I can't sleep anymore."

Zheng Guangming has started to put on clothes. Although he can't see clearly, he is still able to do some basic life.

In the second bedroom, Li Suhua was helping Zhou Rui get dressed, and Zhou Zhigang was making faces at Zhou Rui, making Zhou Rui giggle and move around, and the clothes didn't cooperate.

"Can you wait until I get dressed before playing with him?"

Zhou Zhigang agreed, but he still didn't stop.

Suddenly, Zhou Rui yelled loudly: "Piss, grandma, I want to pee."

Zhou Zhi became anxious as soon as he heard it, but Li Suhua said very calmly: "Grandma will take you to pee."

After tidying up Zhou Rui, Zhou Zhigang hugged him, and Li Suhua asked, "Father, are we going to pay New Year's greetings in optical format today?"

Zhou Zhigang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, Xiao Rong didn't come back, the family is missing one, it's not complete, so I won't go."

Li Suhua has no objection: "Then listen to you, don't go, I'm going to make dinner, you can play with Ruirui."

"go Go."

Zhou Zhigang waved his hand, only the eldest grandson remained in his eyes.

The breakfast was very sumptuous, and everyone ate very happily. Zhou Zhigang was not like last night, so the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious.

Zhou Chen and the others didn't go to celebrate the New Year, but Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao brought their wives to celebrate the New Year.

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chaochao pulled Zhou Chen aside.

Sun Chanchao said: "Kun'er, it's a rare New Year, let's find a time to get together."

Zhou Chen said: "I'm fine, you come to my house?"

Xiao Guoqing said: "Don't, you should go to my place, no, mine is also your home, haha."

Sun Chanchao also laughed and said: "Just go to the National Day, anyway, he has lived 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 agreed with Wu Qian?"

Xiao Guoqing suddenly became angry with embarrassment: "Kun'er, look at what you said, I am a big man, I always promise what I say at home, and I will do what I say."

Sun Chanchao rolled his eyes: "National Day, forget it, we all know the bottom line, we don't know you yet, if Wu Qian disagrees, we won't go."

Xiao Guoqing yelled angrily: "You bastard, if you tell you to go, you can go, so much nonsense, Wu Qian agrees."

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 my wife is strict?"

Strict wives are no longer considered a derogatory term after decades, but in this era, it is estimated that few men can bear being called strict wives.

Zhou Chen smoothed things over and said: "Okay, catch up, National Day, you two stop arguing, National Day you said a party, when are you planning?"

"How's it going at noon on the third day?" Xiao Guoqing asked.

Sun Chanchao: "I have nothing to do in the third grade of junior high school. I'm free."

Zhou Chen also nodded: "Okay, then the third grade."

In this period, some people visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, but most of them stay at home. After all, there are not as many entertainment activities as in the future, and it is quite troublesome to eat in restaurants.

Xiao Guoqing emphasized: "By the way, Kun'er, catch up, you all bring your daughter-in-law with you when the time comes."

"no problem."

After setting the date, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chachao chatted with Zhou Chen for a while, and then took their wives back.

Zhou Chen said to Zheng Juan: "Juan'er, they asked us to have dinner with them in the third year of junior high school on National Day. I agreed, and you will come with me when the time comes."

When Zheng Juan heard this, she said in embarrassment: "Shall I go too? Or I'd better not go. My parents, elder brother and 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, let them talk, Ruirui also stay at home, let parents watch."

"Do you have to go?"

Zheng Juan asked again, she is a family-oriented woman, if she had to choose between friends and family, she would definitely choose family without hesitation.

Zhou Chen embraced her, and said softly, "Go, you don't have much contact with others all year round, you can't stay at home all your life, you have to go out and have a look often."

"If there's anything to look at, I feel that staying at home, taking care of you, mom, and children is the happiest thing."

"Look how stupid you are."

Zhou Chen's face was full of love, let me ask, which man would not love such Zheng Juan?
"In a person's life, there are people who can never be taken care of, Juan'er, don't live for others forever, but also live for yourself."

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

"fool."

Zhou Chen touched Zheng Juan's cheek, 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 abroad. Go wherever you want."

Zheng Juan didn't speak, but held Zhou Chen's hand tightly. She didn't care where she was going, only whether she was with Zhou Chen or not.

On the dinner table at noon, there were ten dishes, seven of which were meat dishes. Zhou Bingyi was amazed when he saw it.

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

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

Zhou Bingyi was surprised and asked Zhou Chen: "Kun'er, I'm very curious, how much is your publishing house's monthly salary? Look at you, you bought so many things, and even bought a house. The food and food used in this house are all Okay, don't you go the wrong way, kid?"

Zhou Chen said very calmly: "The salary of the publishing house is not low, not to mention that I also write poems and articles, which are also extra income, so you don't have to worry so much, brother, just feel free to eat boldly, I guarantee that there will be no problems .”

"You boy."

Zhou Bingyi laughed twice, he didn't doubt Zhou Chen, he just eased the atmosphere, Zhou Zhigang didn't say anything now, if he didn't talk anymore, he wouldn't be able to eat this meal.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the table was not very good, Zheng Juan took the initiative to say: "Dad, Mom, did you sleep well last night, did Rui Rui disturb you, or let Rui Rui sleep with us tonight ?”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Rui, who was sitting on a separate children's dining chair, suddenly shouted: "No, I want to sleep with grandpa and grandma. Grandpa is so funny. I can pull his beard."

Zhou Zhigang, who was originally sitting beside him, was silent, but when he heard the elder grandson's words, he immediately burst into a smile.

"Haha, Ruirui is so good. Tonight, grandpa asked you to pluck your beard and show you other fun things."

Zhou Rui clapped his hands happily: "Okay, grandpa, I still want to eat delicious candy, and my parents always don't give me candy."

Zhou Zhigang readily agreed: "Okay, Grandpa will give you something to eat."

After hearing this, Zheng Juan opened her mouth to say that she shouldn't eat too much sugar, but she didn't say anything in the end looking at the happy grandpa and grandson.

Zhou Zhigang smiled, and the people on the table relaxed a little.

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei looked at each other and immediately understood each other's thoughts. It seems that in this family, only Zhou Rui, a little kid, can control their old father, and no one else can.

Zhou Zhigang was talking with Zhou Rui. He looked at the dining chair Zhou Rui was sitting on, which was very delicate. He asked Li Suhua curiously.

"Mum, where did you buy this chair? It's really suitable for children."

Li Suhua pouted at Zhou Chen and said, "Hey, it's your son who made it. You can't buy it outside. He made it with his own hands."

Zhou Zhigang looked at Zhou Chen in surprise, and asked, "Bingkun, do you still know carpentry?"

Zhou Zhigang is not vicious, nor is Zhou Chen eccentric.

"Well, there's actually no technical content, it's just made of some wood and screws."

Zhou Zhigang looked at it carefully again: "It's quite technical. Even an ordinary carpenter can't make it so delicate. It seems that you have really grown a lot in the past few years when I was not at home."

After Li Suhua's persuasion last night, he no longer has the bad attitude like yesterday. After all, he is his own son. He is older than the Chinese New Year. Is it possible that he will remain frozen?

But taking the initiative to speak is already his limit. It is absolutely impossible for him to apologize to Zhou Chen or something, because he still does not feel that he is at fault, at most it is just a bad attitude.

"There is no one at home, so you have to learn something, otherwise you will have to trouble outsiders if you encounter any problems."

Zhou Chen didn't take the initiative to learn carpentry, but he has done a lot of manual work. After several lifetimes, he has taken care of many children, and he was a pediatrician. It is easy to make a child seat.

Zhou Bingyi smiled and said: "Dad, you don't know that Bingkun is much smarter than we imagined. Our family, Zhou Rong and I combined, can't compare to Bingkun."

He is not a jealous person. He used to think that his younger brother was ignorant, but in the past few days, he found that the younger brother who was ignorant had already undergone transformation and became better than him.

He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he was more happy. They were all brothers. If there was no real enmity or dark psychology, they would definitely wish each other well.

Originally, he just wanted to speak for Zhou Chen, but he didn't know that what he said made Zhou Zhigang feel a little uncomfortable.

Of the three children in the family, his eldest son Zhou Bingyi is the one he values ​​most, his daughter Zhou Rong is the favorite, and Zhou Bingkun is the one he dissatisfies the most.

As a result, Zhou Bingkun, who is the most dissatisfied now, has become the best-developed and most promising of the three children. He is happy in his heart, but more awkward.

People's hearts are complicated, and it is impossible for parents to treat their children equally. Zhou Zhigang is like this.

The thoughts formed over the years cannot be changed in a day or two.

"When will Xiao Rong come back?"

Li Suhua said impatiently: "Didn't you ask yesterday, she said that you will be home in the third day of junior high, and you will leave on the sixth junior high, there is still time."

Zhou Zhigang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good, Bingyi and the others will leave on the fifth day of the lunar new year. If that's the case, our family can finally be reunited this year."

Li Suhua also had a happy face: "Yeah, we can finally be reunited. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."

Speaking of this, Li Suhua suddenly asked curiously: "Xiao Rong's man is called Feng Huacheng, I heard that he is a great poet in the capital, how does his poem compare with our Kun'er?"

Zhou Zhigang was stumped by this question, how could he understand poetry?

Seeing that the two elders were looking at him, Zhou Bingyi replied in embarrassment: "This question is really difficult to answer. Different people have different opinions. Some people may like Bingkun's poems, but there must be others who don't. The same is true for Feng Huacheng, so There's no way to tell the difference."

But Hao Dongmei suddenly said: "But in terms of circulation, Bingkun should have more poems."

She hadn't read much of Feng Huacheng's poems, but she had read quite a few of Zhou Chen's poems, many of which were absolutely excellent, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to fascinate so many high-ranking sons and daughters there.

Li Suhua smiled when she heard this, a son-in-law is a son-in-law after all, she must like her son more.

Zhou Zhigang said at this time: "I have met Feng Huacheng, he looks gentle, he is a talent."

Li Suhua didn't give any face, and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know if she is a talent, I only know that because of him, our Xiaorong almost didn't even recognize her parents."

She couldn't bear to blame her daughter, but she didn't have any affection for this son-in-law whom she had never met.

Not to mention that his daughter was more than ten years old, and he let his daughter suffer with him. Even the child was born, but he had never met him once. No mother would feel good about it.

Especially after living with Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan for a long time, her mentality has changed more, and she is more inclined to her son and daughter-in-law.

Zhou Zhigang said impatiently: "You old lady, what do you care about so much, as long as Xiaorong lives happily, don't meddle in it."

Li Suhua muttered: "I can't get involved even if I want to. Xiao Rong's personality is exactly like yours. If you're sure about it, you won't be able to pull back even eight bulls."

Zhou Zhigang was in a hurry: "Why, it's still up to me to co-author this matter?"

"When did I say I depend on you?"

"That's what you meant just now."

Good guy, yesterday he was still affectionate, but today he started arguing directly in front of the children, which stunned Zhou Bingyi and the others.

Zhou Bingyi quickly persuaded: "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about, okay, why are you arguing?"

Zhou Zhigang snorted, "I didn't argue with her, I reasoned with her, but do you think she is reasonable?"

Li Suhua was also dissatisfied and said: "I'm not wrong, you were the one who talked about me first."

At this moment, the two old people are like children, not letting anyone else go.

Zhou Bingyi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mom, stop talking, come, have a piece of meat, Dad, I'll toast you."

The two old men really didn't want to quarrel, they just got excited when they were talking about it, and when they were interrupted by Zhou Bingyi, they immediately recovered.

Zhou Chen also joined in the toast, and the father and son drank two bottles of wine.

After the meal, Zhou Bingyi drunkenly gave Zhou Chen a thumbs up: "Bingkun, your wine is good, even more satisfying than the wine in our corps."

Zhou Chen smiled and said nothing, this is the good wine he has collected in the past few years, all of them are aged, of course they are pure enough.

After lunch, Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua took Zhou Rui out to play, Zhou Chen took Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming to go shopping, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei went to the place where they used to go to school, and missed their youth.

In the evening, Li Suhua took advantage of Hao Dongmei to talk to Zheng Juan. She found Zhou Bingyi and talked with Zhou Bingyi about having a baby.

Zhou Bingyi originally wanted to tell the truth, but he would take the responsibility on himself, but he thought that if he said it, his parents would definitely feel uncomfortable. This year, he finally had a happy New Year, and he didn't want to sweep his parents interest.

So he said that because of work reasons, the two decided not to have children for the time being, and this reason finally convinced Li Suhua.

Although Li Suhua felt disappointed, she still respected her son's choice, and she couldn't force her son and daughter-in-law to have children if they didn't want to have one for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan packed up early and brought a lot of New Year's goods.

Before leaving, Zhou Chen said to Li Suhua: "Mom, we won't come back for lunch at noon, I will leave Ruirui to you."

Li Suhua waved his hands casually, and said: "Go, New Year's Eve, you guys finally get together and have a good time, don't come back in a hurry, Ruirui will leave it to us."

Zheng Juan said softly: "Mom, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Li Suhua immediately scolded: "You child, what are you talking about? Ruirui is your son, and he is also my eldest grandson. Look at how happy he is with his grandfather. You don't have to worry about him."

Then Zhou Chen said goodbye to his father and brother, and drove Zheng Juan away from home by car.

After Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan left, Zhou Zhi murmured dissatisfied just now: "This Xiaorong is coming back today, and he has to go out, friends are more important than sisters?"

"Okay you."

Li Suhua interrupted Zhou Zhigang's muttering, and said, "You didn't say it just now, but now that he's gone, what's the point?"

Zhou Zhigang muttered a few words, and then asked, "Xiao Rong, can she come today?"

"I don't know, she didn't get a letter back, and I don't know where she is. I'm so anxious."

The daughter said that she would be home today, so Li Suhua started to prepare early, but it will be noon, and there is no news yet, so can you not be in a hurry.

Zhou Bingyi comforted: "Maybe it was delayed by something on the way, Dad, Mom, don't worry too much, Zhou Rong is such an adult, she dared to go to Guizhou by herself back then, this time Feng Huacheng was with her , nothing will happen."

He was also annoyed by this restless younger sister. His parents had been talking about it for the past few days, and his ears could hear cocoons.

Hao Dongmei also persuaded: "Yes, Mom, Dad, don't worry, it's okay."

Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan soon returned to the optical film. After entering the optical film, they met many acquaintances, and they all greeted Zhou Chen warmly.

"Yo, Bingkun, you're back."

"Well, I'm back."

"Bingkun, I heard that your father is coming back for the New Year, why didn't you return the text?"

"My dad just came back, and he's been very tired for the past few days. When I go back, I'll tell my dad that you miss him, and ask him to come back and have a drink with you."

"That's a good feeling."

"Bingkun..."

…………

Zheng Juan said with emotion: "The neighbors of the optical film are so enthusiastic."

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "These days, everyone is simple and enthusiastic, and they are all neighbors and friends for so many years, and they are related to each other."

Places with a lot of traffic, like optical film, are indeed more lively, and the neighbors are also very enthusiastic. It is completely different from the neighbors who later lived in high-rise buildings and could not see each other for ten and a half months. concept.

As soon as Zhou Chen arrived at his yard, he saw Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao at the door.

"Kun'er, here we come."

"I'm not late."

Zhou Chen parked the car and asked with a smile.

Xiao Guoqing said happily: "It's not too late, it's not too late at all. Look at you, you're here right away. What else do you bring? Doesn't this slap me in the face?"

Zhou Chen smiled, asked Zheng Juan to take the things in, and then stood with Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao.

"How about you, haven't you drank less these two days?"

Sun Ganchao said: "I didn't drink much. I drank a lot during the National Day. His two brothers-in-law can drink it."

Xiao Guoqing's face was pained: "What can I drink, but I'm greedy for wine. The few bottles of good wine that Kun'er brought me were all caused by them, which made my heart hurt."

"It's okay, if you want to drink, you can go to my place and get two more bottles, I still have it."

"Forget it. For such a good wine, just try it out. How can I drink it every day? I'm not as rich as you."

Zhou Chen glanced at the room and asked, "Wu Qian is still pregnant with a child. Is it okay if you let her cook?"

Xiao Guoqing looked indifferent: "What's the problem? It's not heavy work. Besides, Yu Hong is also helping."

Sun Chanchao also nodded and said: "Yes, it's okay, don't worry, Yu Hong and I have come early and have been helping all the time, so Wu Qian won't be tired."

Xiao Guoqing's expression suddenly became a little awkward, and he said embarrassedly: "Kun'er, there is something I want to tell you first, don't blame me if you hear it."

"What's wrong? What did you do to apologize to me?"

Zhou Chen knew Xiao Guoqing well, he was an absolutely honest person, if it hadn't been related to him and something that was not good to him, he wouldn't be so embarrassing.

Xiao Guoqing said: "Isn't this Chunyan? She didn't know where she heard that we would gather together today, so she approached me and said that she would come over today too; you know me, they treat you like that, I I will definitely not agree, but Wu Qian, that prodigal old lady, was persuaded by Chunyan in a few words, so Chunyan and Cao Debao will come over today, Kuner, I'm sorry, I can't help it either."

When Zhou Chen heard that Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao had also returned, his brows furrowed immediately. He had lost face with these two, so he didn't want to see them at all.

Hearing that they were coming, his first reaction was to leave, but seeing Xiao Guoqing's embarrassed expression, he thought about it, why should he leave?

Seeing that Zhou Chen didn't speak, Sun Chanchao hurriedly explained: "Kun'er, I can prove that this has nothing to do with National Day. Now that National Day and I see Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao, we don't talk to them very much, but this For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, if they want to come, it's really not easy to drive them away, right?"

In fact, there was one thing he didn't confess. The reason why Qiao Chunyan knew about their situation was because of his wife Yu Hong.

Both Yu Hong and Qiao Chunyan are in the public bath, and Qiao Chunyan is still Yu Hong's master, so their relationship is relatively close.

It was precisely because of this that Sun Chanchao felt embarrassed and helped Xiao Guoqing persuade Zhou Chen.

As Zhou Chen became more and more prosperous and richer, the relationship between the three also changed.

Especially Xiao Guoqing, he lived in the house of Zhou's family, which is equivalent to asking for help from others. Sun Chanchao was better, but Zhou Chen had long been the main one.

Zhou Chen patted Xiao Guoqing on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, National Day, we have been friends for so many years, I must believe you, I know about this, don't worry, as long as they don't find fault later, I won't let you embarrass you."

Xiao Guoqing said gratefully: "Thank you, Kun'er, thank you."

Zhou Chen understood Xiao Guoqing, he moved out the optical film, so he could have no contact with Qiao Chunyan and the others.

But Xiao Guoqing and the others are different. Those who bow their heads do not see them. It is impossible for them to turn against each other because of his affairs. The world of adults is different from the world of children.
