8. Past events
She always remembered that Zhou Huai was less than two years old when she was lost.
At that time, the reform of state-owned enterprises was in full swing, and state-owned enterprises were no longer iron rice bowls, with Liu Huan's song "Start Again", a large number of workers were laid off and re-employed, and Qiu Hui and Zhou Shifeng were part of it.
At that time, Zhou Huai had just been able to walk, and their family of three moved to another city to do some small business to make ends meet, but Zhou Huai was accidentally lost on the road.
Until now, she didn't know whether Zhou Huai was lost by herself, or was abducted by traffickers while they were not careful. She only remembered that this incident was even more terrifying than the sky falling for herself, who was only twenty-four years old at the time. She and Zhou Shifeng searched again and again at the train station and the surrounding cities, and searched for several months, but Zhou Huai had no news at all.
It's no wonder that when they found out that Zhou Huai was missing, the train was running on the road, who knows where the child was taken away? Their poor child was like a drop of water into the sea, and disappeared without a trace in an instant. Even later, they never gave up searching, but it was impossible to find Zhou Huai among hundreds of millions of people when information was still very underdeveloped at that time.
Later, they exhausted all the savings in their hands, but Zhou Huai still had no news. In desperation, Zhou Shifeng and Qiu Hui had no choice but to settle down in the city where they found out that Zhou Huai was missing, and while doing some small business to make ends meet, they continued to inquire about Zhou Huai's news.
Later, a few years passed, and the trials and tribulations of time made them almost give up their plans to find Zhou Huai, and at this time Zhou Nianzi was born again, and they slowly shifted their attention to their youngest son, and subconsciously felt that they might not be able to see Zhou Huai again in their lifetime.
Unexpectedly, by chance, when Zhou Shifeng chatted with a friend he met in business and mentioned his lost child, the other party's expression moved, saying that he remembered that it seemed that the welfare home where he worked happened to have a child in that year, and his age was right.
At that time, because a wealthy businessman happened to come to the welfare home to donate, he saw this child and felt very close to him, so he asked what was wrong with the child and why he was abandoned. Because usually such beautiful children are abandoned by their parents because of some disabilities.
Unexpectedly, the dean said that the child was very healthy, and it seemed that he was sent to the welfare home by a well-wisher because he was lost. The wealthy businessman immediately made a decision to spend a lot of money to publish missing person notices in major newspapers, hoping to help this poor child find his biological parents, but he didn't expect the news to be published for a long time, but there was no movement at all. Later, the rich merchant took pity on the child and went through the formalities to adopt him.
At this time, Zhou Shifeng's mind to find Zhou Huai was already very light, but I don't know why my heart jumped up when I heard my friend say this, as if someone told him that the lost child was his son! So he immediately nervously asked his friend for the contact information of the welfare home. That friend had long since stopped working in that welfare home, and it took a lot of effort to contact the people who worked in the hospital, but I didn't expect the other party to tell them that the welfare home had already closed.
Later, Zhou Shifeng and Qiu Hui spent several months to find the person in charge of the welfare home, and found each other through the information left by the rich businessman, and the rich businessman was Bo Mingcheng.
When Bo Mingcheng took out the photos of Zhou Huai when he was a child, Qiu Hui immediately burst into tears. She didn't expect that after more than ten years, she would still be able to find her biological son who had exhausted her tears and couldn't sleep at night!
Qiu Hui took a lot of effort to bring Zhou Huai back to the Zhou family, Zhou Huai has been to the Bo family since he was two years old, and he was brought up by Bo Mingcheng little by little, and he poured more affection into Zhou Huai than he did for his own grandson. At this time, two people suddenly appeared and said that they were Zhou Huai's biological parents, and they wanted to take away his grandson, who he regarded as a treasure, how could he be willing to do it?
Bo Mingcheng is a reasonable person, and at this time, his only son and daughter-in-law both died in an accident, and he knows best how sad the white-haired man is when he sends the black-haired man. From this and that, how could he let Qiu Hui and Zhou Shifeng taste this taste because of his own selfish desires?
So after several trade-offs, he still reluctantly let Zhou Huai out.
Thinking of this, Qiu Hui couldn't help but sigh. At the beginning, Zhou Huai was in junior high school, and Bo Mingcheng originally planned to send Zhou Huai and his grandson Bo Jinxi to study abroad, and even the formalities were completed, but such a thing happened without admitting it.
At that time, according to Bo Mingcheng's intentions, Zhou Huai was still to be sent out, and the tuition and living expenses were all paid by the Bo family. Zhou Shifeng disagreed, Qiu Hui understood Zhou Shifeng's concerns, the Bo family had spent a lot of money raising Zhou Huai for so many years, and now that he recognized the child back, where could he let the other party pay? Although Bo Mingcheng doesn't care, he can't be so ignorant, after all, no one's money is blown by the wind. Besides, studying abroad is not a small amount, what about college after high school? They can't always take advantage of other people's thin families.
So later, Zhou Huai stayed in China to study. Because their family background is average, and it is very hard to support their two sons, Zhou Huai began to work and study part-time after graduating from high school, trying to share more for the family. After he went to college, he didn't ask his family for a penny, and even often subsidized the family.
Many times Qiu Hui will unconsciously think that if he and Zhou Shifeng had not recognized Zhou Huai back at the beginning, would his life be better? He can wear designer clothes, go to high-end restaurants, study abroad, and live a carefree life like Bo Jinxi. However, the appearance of himself and Zhou Shifeng completely disrupted his originally comfortable life, and also made him lose many opportunities that originally belonged to him.
How could she not know that he gave up his favorite major when he applied for college, just because that major is only available in a few universities in China, and the tuition fee is very high? How could she not know that in order to be able to make up for her tuition, Zhou Huai gave up the time of her peers to do several odd jobs? Even the current job in the entertainment industry is because of the high income, so he did it.
For the sake of this family, Zhou Huai gave up too much, and she really didn't know whether it was right or wrong to recognize him back in the first place.
"Xiaohui?" Seeing that Qiu Hui had been silent, Zhou Shifeng thought she was angry, and couldn't help but call her.
Hearing Zhou Shifeng's voice, Qiu Hui's thoughts also recovered. She glanced at Zhou Shifeng, who was looking at her with an unnatural look, and the uncomfortable feeling in her heart was even stronger.
Zhou Shifeng is actually not bad, but he is too stubborn and has strong self-esteem. At the beginning, Bo Mingcheng proposed to send Zhou Huai to study abroad, which he strongly opposed. She also understands Zhou Shifeng's refusal of the Bo family's funding, but she doesn't understand why he doesn't have a good face for Bo Jinxi? Obviously, it wasn't like this before, and when I saw Bo Jinxi, I always called 'Jinxi' and 'Jinxi'.
Qiu Hui sighed again: "I don't know why you have an opinion about that kid in Jinxi?" Do they owe you anything? ”
Zhou Shifeng replied in a hesitant voice: "Don't think about it. ”
"Am I thinking?"
Qiu Hui shook her head: "Okay, go upstairs, it's too late to go back to Xiaohuai, that kid should be aware." She suddenly stopped: "By the way, you now hurry up to the small supermarket behind the building to buy a bottle of soy sauce, oops, hurry up!" ”
When Zhou Shifeng and Qiu Hui went upstairs, Zhou Huai was frying in the kitchen with an apron, and when he saw Qiu Hui coming in, he smiled at her: "Mom, your memory is really getting worse and worse, and there are still more than half bottles in the soy sauce cabinet." ”
"Ah, yes, haha," Qiu Hui smiled: "You see I'm old and my memory is not good, how can I remember to run out when I get up in the morning." ”
"Mom, you just want to come up later and avoid cooking, right?" Zhou Nianzi stood behind Zhou Huai with a lollipop in his mouth and probed his head and said.
"Go back to your house and study!" Qiu Hui walked in and knocked on Zhou Nianzi's head, and casually picked up the shovel in Zhou Huai's hand: "I'll do the rest, you go wash your hands and get ready to eat!" ”
Zhou Huai handed the shovel to Qiu Hui, and said while untying his apron: "You guys, I won't eat it, I have to go to the set." ”
"Then you can't skip eating! It won't take much time to go back after eating! ”
"I just came out of breakfast."
"Then take one less bite, and you'll have to eat all afternoon, and you can't eat something if you don't eat something."
In the end, Zhou Huai couldn't resist Qiu Hui and still took a bite, but he still kept thinking about the audition in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to Zhou Nianzi talking to him several times. After finally making a fuss, Zhou Huai hurriedly stood up and put on his coat: "Dad, Mom, Nianzi, you eat slowly, I'll go first." ”
When Zhou Huai arrived on the set, there was still an hour and a half before the audition, and the reason why he came so early was because this was a request for makeup auditions, and he had to set aside half an hour for makeup.
In order to ensure the effect of the audition, several dressing rooms were specially set aside on the set for the audition actors, in addition to the male No. 3 who auditioned for Zhou Huai, the female No. 3 and the female No. 4 also auditioned on the same day. The audition time for the female No. 3 and the female No. 4 was at night, so there were only a few male actors who came to the dressing room at this time, and they entered the dressing room early as soon as they came.
