That night, Wang Chong received the news that Hao Dongmei's father suddenly had an asthma attack and was admitted to the hospital, instead of going to Chenglao Zhou's house.

All of Zhou Zhigang's preparations became wishful thinking, and his enthusiasm was poured head-on with a basin of cold water.

In this regard, Wang Chong did not say that he did not even return to Lao Zhou's house, and still lived in Taiping Hutong, living a small life of his wife and children on the hot kang.

What Wang Chong didn't know was that things were far more than that, when the driver of Hao Dongmei's parents drove a large box of gifts back to Lao Zhou's house with the two cans of tea sent by Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Zhigang's face was as black as the bottom of the pot.

This is equivalent to a direct crit, sprinkling several handfuls of salt on Lao Zhou's wounds.

Knowing that Hao's father had asthma and went to the hospital, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei didn't care about anything else, so they said goodbye to Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, and hurriedly followed the driver.

Zhou Zhigang sat in the back room, his face was gloomy as water, wearing the clothes he wore when he got married, and even his hair was deliberately combed, but in his mind, he was thinking about what Wang Zhong said.

Could it be that Zhou Bingyi really lied to him when he said that he couldn't have children?

Is it because he doesn't object to his marriage to Hao Dongmei?

Zhou Zhigang's first reaction was not to believe it, thinking that what Wang Chong said was angry, but after thinking about it carefully, Wang Chong didn't seem to have the possibility of joking about this kind of thing.

In the car that was returning to the compound of the provincial party committee, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei sat in the back seat, close to each other.

After repeatedly confirming from the driver's mouth that Hao's father was fine, Hao Dongmei became worried again.

"Bingyi, what if Dad doesn't let us be together because I can't have children?" Hao Dongmei also loves Zhou Bingyi very much, so she is so panicked and asks such a thing.

Zhou Bingyi took Hao Dongmei's hand and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, my parents are not the kind of unreasonable, besides, we have been married for so many years, it's okay." ”

"But... I... I'm worried about ·····" Zhou Zhigang was in a big hurry just now, and the scene of fighting with Wang Da is still vivid, and Hao Dongmei can't help but think about it much.

"It's all with me! My parents, I do their work. Zhou Bingyi raised his hand and put his arm around Hao Dongmei's shoulder, took her into a new breed, and comforted her softly: "Don't you still believe me!" ”

Hao Dongmei buried her head in Zhou Bingyi's arms, her cheek against his chest, "I'm worried!" ”

"That's it!" Zhou Bingyi smiled and said, "Trust me, I can handle it!" ”

"Hmm!" Hao Dongmei could only hug Zhou Bingyi hard, but the tears in her eyes wiped and wiped, but she couldn't stop it.

·······

The next day, when there was nothing to do during the day, Wang Chong and Zheng Juan led the children to the provincial party committee compound to visit Qu Xiuzhen, who had retired.

I didn't think that the security guard of the provincial party committee compound had changed, it was a young man who had just retired from the army, and he didn't know Wang Chong and Zheng Juan, so it was naturally impossible to let him in.

"Brother, you call Dean Ma's house, and just say that Zhou Bingkun's family will come to visit them."

Wang Chong said very politely, and took out a large front door and handed it out.

The young man was not bad, shaking his head and saying that he didn't smoke, but he still didn't refuse Wang Chong's suggestion: "Cheng, I'll call Dean Ma's house and ask." ”

The young man also saw that Wang Chong had a good temperament, and the three children were also very polite, greeting him obediently and calling uncle, and Wang Chong also skillfully called out the name of the young man's predecessor and said the location of Ma Shouchang's family, otherwise, maybe he would have to break it for a while.

As soon as the young man picked up the phone, before he could dial it out, a familiar figure walked out of the gate pushing a bicycle.

"Bingkun? Zheng Juan? Zhou Bingyi was a little surprised, Zheng Juan was fine, but when he saw Wang Chong, Zhou Bingyi remembered the kick last night, and his face changed.

"Uncle!" Zhou Cong took two small ones and greeted Zhou Bingyi.

Zhou Bingyi was okay with the children, and he barely squeezed out two smiles on his face when he answered.

Zhou Bingyi frowned, with a little vigilance and a little rebuke in his tone: "Why are you here?" ”

seems to be blaming Wang Chong for coming to the provincial party committee compound without his consent.

"This is not a military powerhouse, we can come if we want!" Wang Chong didn't give much face.

Zhou Bingyi glared at him: "Although this is not a place for sergeants, it is also a compound of the provincial party committee, and the leaders of the province live in it, and idlers are exempted, what are you doing here?" ”

"What does Big Brother think I'm here for?" Wang Zhong did not answer, but asked.

After Hao Dongmei's father was hospitalized for asthma yesterday, Zhou Bingyi went to the hospital with Hao Dongmei, and then followed Hao's father back to Hao's house.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Bingyi's face became even more ugly, and his eyes looking at Wang Chong became cloudy.

Wang Chong grinned lightly and said, "Don't worry, eldest brother, Juan'er and I didn't come here for the eldest brother, not to go to the Hao family, and we never thought of touching the light of the eldest brother." ”

At this time, the security guy in the guard room also poked his head out of the window: "Comrade, Chief Qu told you to hurry in!" ”

Wang Chong held Lingling in one hand, and carried a rattan basket in the other, covered with a cloth, and didn't know what was inside, so he walked straight past Zhou Bingyi: "Big brother, we have made an appointment with Secretary Qu, so we won't delay, so we will go in first." ”

Zheng Juan also smiled slightly at Zhou Bingyi, and walked in with Ming Ming.

Zhou Bingyi's face was even more ugly, Wang Chong's actions were like an invisible slap, slapping him in the face fiercely, yesterday's kick was just a physical injury, but today's move is a mental attack.

"Comrade Zhou, that comrade just now called you eldest brother, are you brothers?" The doorman at the window looked at the back of Wang Chong's family walking in with his bicycle and turned to look at it, and suddenly asked curiously.

"It's a brother." Zhou Bingyi's originally somewhat ugly face suddenly squeezed out a smile.

"No wonder Secretary Qu was so happy to hear that your brother was coming."

Zhou Bingyi smiled and didn't answer, but as soon as he turned around, the smile disappeared in an instant.

In front of Ma's house, Qu Xiuzhen and Ma Shouchang couldn't wait to wait outside the door after receiving a call from the guard room, and when they saw Wang Chong's family from a distance, they couldn't wait to beckon.

Zhou Cong was even more happy, and when he saw the old couple, he couldn't wait to run over.

"Grandpa Ma, Grandma Qu!" Zhou Cong and the old couple are old acquaintances.

"Ouch! Cong Cong has grown so tall! "Cong Cong is six years old, Wang Chong and Zheng Juan have been fed well since they were young, they are tall, they have been practicing boxing with Wang Chong since they were four years old, and their bodies are as strong as calves.

"Where's Yueyue?" In the past, Wang Chong came with two children, either with two older ones or four children together, and they never fell behind.

"Yueyue's parents are also back for the New Year, this is the New Year, she must stay by her parents' side!" Wang Zhong explained with a smile.

"Oh! Her parents are back! That should indeed be with her parents. ”

The old couple suddenly felt that Yueyue, this child, to be honest, was really pitiful, and was sent back to Jichun when he was so old, and he followed Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan all the time.

"Hello Grandpa Ma! Hello Grandma Qu! ”

Zhou Ming and Zhou Ling, the two little ones, also shouted obediently.

"Lingling is about to become a big girl!" Qu Xiuzhen squatted down and looked at Lingling with two pigtails, the smile on her face was very bright.

Ma Shouchang also squatted down and opened his arms at Mingming: "Come, Mingming, let Grandpa Ma hug him." ”

The two little ones invariably raised their eyes to look at Wang Chong and Zheng Juan, and after getting the encouraging eyes of their parents, they also opened their hands and walked into the arms of the old couple, making the old couple very happy.

The old couple's attention was on the three children, and they didn't pay close attention to Wang Chong's words, not about his sister and brother-in-law, but about Yueyue's parents.

The old couple is not the kind of unreasonable people, not to mention that there are three children, Zhou Cong's little calf is too strong, and the old couple may not be able to hold it when they are old, but Zhou Ming and Zhou Ling are not a problem.

After saying a few words, the old couple hugged one by one and led Wang Chong's family into the house.

The Ma family has not changed from a few years ago, a group of people are sitting on the sofa, the coffee table is full of melons and fruit snacks, and a few children are happy.

Usually at home, Wang Chong strictly controls their snacks, and definitely doesn't eat much, but before he came today, Wang Chong rarely let go, and let them eat with their open stomachs.

Seeing that the children were like wolves who had never seen meat, Wang Chong immediately coughed dryly, put on a straight face, and the children's outstretched hands immediately froze, and the four pairs of eyes looked at Wang Chong in unison, looking at the pitiful one.

I only heard Wang Chong say: "What should I say before eating snacks?" ”

Several children turned to look at the old couple and said in unison: "Thank you Grandpa Ma, thank you Grandma Qu." ”

Then the four pairs of eyes looked at Wang Chong again, and when they saw Wang nodding, they threw themselves into the snack pile on the coffee table with a smile on their faces.

The old couple looked at this scene and glared at Wang Zhong very tacitly, and then beckoned to the children: "Don't be afraid of your father, there are Grandpa Ma and Grandma Qu to support you, if he dares to talk about you, Grandpa Ma will teach him a lesson." ”

The four children happily said that the old couple was really good, and Zhou Ling also obediently picked up two white rabbit toffee, walked to the old couple and handed them to them.

Qu Xiuzhen happily hugged the little girl and kissed her a few times.

Wang Chongshou took out two bottles of wine: "Authentic old Yanjing Erguotou, Niulanshan." ”

Then there were a few bottles of canned fried sauce: "This is what Juan'er learned from a neighbor's aunt in Yanjing, authentic Yanjing fried sauce, used to mix noodles, it tastes good." ”

Lao Ma picked up a bottle of Niulanshan and swallowed his saliva: "It's just right, let's drink a bottle at noon later." ”

Wang Zhong took out two more cigarettes: "The big front door bought under the front door building." ”

However, after handing it out, he recycled it again, and told with a serious face: "Lao Qu, it's okay to smoke, but you have to control the amount, otherwise I won't send it back!" ”

"Alright, alright!" Qu Xiuzhen impatiently snatched the big front door in Wang Chong's hand: "A big man, long-winded, grinding and chirping, is not as good as an old lady!" ”

Wang Zhong immediately complained: "Old Ma, you don't care about this? ”

I didn't want Lao Ma to say: "Why is there only Lao Qu, what about mine?" ”

The old couple are both big smoking guns.

Before Wang Chong could speak, Lao Qu raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter, are you not convinced?" ”

The old horse snorted, but did not relent.

Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan both had smiles on their faces, this old couple has always been like this, and bickering is one of their joys.

Wang Zhong took out two more and made the old horse so happy that he turned his head and went to tease the children on the coffee table.

"How is it, Grandpa Ma's family is not big?"

"It's big, it's big!" Obviously very cooperative, the Ma family is a little biased towards the modern small western-style building, the layout is quite exquisite, the space is also very large, Lao Ma and Lao Qu have not changed at all after they moved in.

"Otherwise, don't go back, and live with Grandpa Ma in the future!" Ma Shouchang joked with the children.

The three children shook their heads in unison.

"Don't you like to live in a big house?" Ma Shouchang is a little strange, these children don't play cards according to the routine!

It was Zhou Cong who gave the answer: "Grandpa Ma, our home in Yanjing is not small, and I still have my own room." ”

Zhou Cong said ostentatiously.

"And Dad also said that a new house will be built soon, and then we will have a big room for each person, so big and big."

"That's right!" Ma Shouchang looked suddenly enlightened.

It was Qu Xiuzhen, who heard this, glanced at Wang Chong, and asked curiously, "Do you plan to build a new house?" ”

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "You don't know my house, there are two rooms, the family has a large population, and there are many children, where can I live, Juan'er and I are living in Taiping Hutong with children for a while."

"That's a real problem." Qu Xiuzhen nodded and said, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"What else can I do?" Wang Chongdao: "First divide the household registration, then apply for a homestead, and build a new one." ”

"Didn't I study architecture in college, if the homestead was approved, I would design and design it myself, build a bigger one, with a yard, and when they grow up and start a family, they won't have no place to live."

"Are you going to build it in the light word piece?" Qu Xiuzhen asked.

Wang Chong shook his head and said: "What are you doing with Jianguang characters, it used to be okay, but now the light characters are dirty and messy, and the security is getting worse and worse. ”

"Anyway, there are more than two years before I graduate, so I'm not in a hurry, if I can't find it, then I'll live in Yanjing first."

Qu Xiuzhen turned her head to Ma Shou, who was sitting on the ground and playing with the children, and said, "Old Ma, I remember that there is a lot of open space in the south of our compound, right?" ”

Ma Shouchang nodded: "There are a lot, there used to be small villas of those landlords and wealthy merchants, and the places are spacious, although those houses are now returned to them, but the land has always belonged to the state." ”

"But if you want to build a house there, you can't be a dirt embryo house like your bare words." The old horse reminded.

The old couple was happy to help Wang Zhong within the scope of their ability and without violating the principle, but the small western-style buildings and villas in that area, if they abruptly inserted a light word piece in the style of it, it would really affect the overall appearance of that area.

Wang Chongdao: "Since it is going to be built, it is definitely necessary to build a house that can be passed on to children and grandchildren, I plan to use the theme of reinforced concrete frame structure, and then fill the wall with red bricks, even if you want to change the style in the future, it is convenient to redecorate." ”

"Reinforced concrete frame?" Ma Shouchang was slightly surprised: "This costs a lot of money, you kid is so rich?" ”

If it's just red bricks, the price is definitely not expensive, but if you really want to make a reinforced concrete frame, whether it's steel or cement, this price is not cheap.

"I've saved some manuscript fees for writing books over the years, and it should be enough to build a house." Wang Zhong said modestly.
