Zhou Bin mingled with everyone in the new unit, and the officers and soldiers no longer felt that he was a technician who read a lot, and they all knew that he was a werewolf, a little more powerful than a ruthless man.
Zhou Bin's performance leadership also saw it, and the people who were skeptical of him before also admitted that he performed well, and such people couldn't hold it down.
Zhou Bin successfully proved himself in less than a year, and his position was changed from deputy to regular. When he was first transferred, he was a deputy position, of course, there was no main position on it, but if it was not right, it would not be good, and he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
After Lin Xiaoxiao learned the news of his promotion, she deliberately took him home for dinner and mentioned his performance to Lin Baoguo.
Chen Baozhu knows that he is getting more and more satisfied with Zhou Bin, but he is only a little dissatisfied when he mentions Zhou Bin's family, but excellent people have a family that drags them back, which is really a dilemma.
No one knew about Chen Baozhu's inner entanglement, Lin Baoguo called Zhou Bin into the study to talk, and Lin Xiaoxiao was busy in the kitchen. Chen Baozhu and Lin Baoguo don't know how to cook, the meals at home are handed over to the aunt to do it, and Lin Xiaoxiao will only do it on important days.
Chen Baozhu always said that Lin Xiaoxiao should not learn to cook, her hands should hold a scalpel, she should play the piano, and she should not go into the kitchen to make her hands rough.
Zhou Bin came out of the study just when he heard the last sentence, and he flattered: "Auntie, don't worry, I will do the housework in the future, and I can ask for a part-time job if I don't have time, and I won't let Xiaoxiao's hands become thicker." ”
Zhou Bin's income is not high, but with bonuses and the like, there is no problem in hiring part-time workers. He said this, but Chen Baozhu didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Lin Xiaoxiao's time was pinched, and not long after Zhou Bin and the others came out of the study, she had already brought the meal to the table.
After Lin Baoguo finished eating, he went to Zhou Bin and said, "One day I have time to ask his parents to eat together."
Zhou Bin understood the meaning of this sentence, this is a recognition of his achievements, and he hopes that he will bring his parents to the door to talk about marriage. He and Lin Xiaoxiao's marriage can't always let the woman take the initiative, I really want the woman to bring it up first, so that others don't have to misunderstand the Lin family, I'm afraid that the parents at home should misunderstand that the woman is too strong, whether she wants to use power to oppress people.
Lin Xiaoxiao also understood what Lin Baoguo meant, and she went into the kitchen to soak Lin Baoguo in his favorite Pu'er. She still has a lot of stock in this kind of tea, and she is afraid that it will disrupt the market if she sells it.
Chen Baozhu watched her daughter bow low and make small, she coughed sadly, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately brought the coffee and pulled a cute pattern.
Lin Xiaoxiao prepared lemon soda for Zhou Bin, and her own cup was filled with the leftover milk from latte art.
Zhou Bin left with good news, and he was anxious to discuss the marriage with his parents.
When the second elder of the Zhou family heard Zhou Bin's words, he was happy in his heart, even if the conditions of the woman's family were too good. Zhou Bin shook his head secretly, he hadn't told his family the true identity of Lin Baoguo yet, to know the truth, they didn't have to be more cautious.
Brother Zhou also heard Zhou Bin's words, his body was weak, and there was no problem at all in taking care of himself, and the doctor only explained that he could not engage in heavy physical work or strenuous exercise.
Brother Zhou is very afraid of death, using illness as an excuse, he doesn't do this or that, every day at home, he opens his mouth for food, stretches out his hand for clothes, and won't help the master when the oil bottle at home is poured.
He has been supported by his parents all these years, and he can only rely on Zhou Bin in the future, but when he heard that Zhou Bin was going to get married, he was also itching in his heart.
Brother Zhou looked at his parents' happy expressions, and also took the opportunity to make a request: "Mom, you just know how to be happy, what about me?" I'm also going to get married, you can't let your brother marry before your brother, right? ”
The cigarette in Zhou's father's hand was not held steadily, and it almost burned his clothes. When Zhou's mother heard Brother Zhou's words, she asked with a little disbelief: "Boss, do you want to get married?" Who are you married to? Where did you come from? ”
Brother Zhou stared at Zhou Bin's dissatisfied mouth: "Mom, you ask me, who do I ask?" Shouldn't you help me find a partner? I want to go on a blind date, I don't care, if I'm not married, Zhou Bin can't get married. ”
Zhou Bin stared at Brother Zhou, and shifted his gaze to Zhou's father and Zhou's mother's faces, wanting to see what they had to say.
What can Zhou's father say, it is his son, he opened his mouth and closed it, he can't directly say that he won't let the eldest son get married, but in the case of the eldest son, who is willing to marry.
Zhou's mother felt even more sorry for her frail and sickly eldest son, but she knew better that there would be more places for the eldest son to rely on the younger son in the future, and she must not offend Zhou Bin because of this matter, and she must not let the brothers have conflicts.
Zhou's father didn't make a sound, but he smoked harder, one after another, and he didn't need a lighter to light a cigarette. Mother Zhou wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, covered her mouth and said, "Boss, can you talk about it later?" Let's finish your brother's marriage first, and your business is not in a hurry. ”
"No, he's younger than me, so he doesn't have to rush." Brother Zhou arrogantly refused.
Mother Zhou set her eyes on Zhou Bin, hoping that he would persuade Brother Zhou or help find a way.
Zhou Bin lowered his head and didn't speak, he just didn't see Zhou's mother's expectant gaze, what could he say, he had persuaded his parents before, but unfortunately no one was relieved of his words, and it was too late to say anything now.
He had advised his parents many years ago. said that the eldest brother is not in good health, he can't do physical work, and he should study hard, and he can rely on wisdom or technology to eat after he succeeds in his studies.
Brother Zhou is just a little weaker, and it's not that he can't take care of himself, he uses poor health as an excuse all day long, and he studies for three days in the rain and two days in the net, and finally barely mixes until he graduates from junior high school, and he refuses to enter school again.
Brother Zhou doesn't go to school or work, so many years when he asks him to do something, he shouts uncomfortable, and is so scared that Zhou's mother can only support him, he is the most idle person in the village. How many seventy or eighty-year-old people in the village still have to work, and he is idle every day, that is, he has no money in his pocket, and he is afraid that if he has money, he will also be a harm to the village.
Zhou Bin bought medicine for his eldest brother out of responsibility and conscience, and also because he couldn't avoid it, but except for the treatment of the disease, he never interfered in other things for the eldest brother.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother may not remember, but he has always remembered the past, once he opened his mouth to let Brother Zhou do things, Zhou's mother criticized and accused. Since then, he has not expressed an opinion on whether Brother Zhou's affairs are good or bad.
The atmosphere in the room became awkward, and none of the four members of the family spoke, waiting for the other party to speak first, and in the end, it was Brother Zhou who couldn't help but speak first.
"Mom, you can't just care about Zhou Bin, I want to get married, and I still have to live in the city. Now the young people in the village are buying houses in the city, and I want to buy a house in the city. I will definitely be able to find a marriage partner after I have a house, and you are no worse than Zhou Bin. Brother Zhou directly compared Zhou Bin.
