Time flies, and it has been eight or eight years in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Cong and Feng Yue finished the high school entrance examination and entered high school, and Zhou Ming and Zhou Ling also entered junior high school.

Even the youngest little tail is now a Young Pioneer who wears a red scarf every day.

In eighty-six years, Little Tail went to preschool, Zheng Juan was idle, in addition to picking up and dropping off the children every day, it was cooking, and Zheng Juan, who couldn't stay idle, went to Guangming's store every day to help.

Wang Chong saw that Zheng Juan was really bored, so he suggested that she open a restaurant.

In the past few years, Wu Qian and Yu Hong have partnered to cook for the construction team of Xiao Guoqing and Sun Catch-up, and they earn more per month than they used to do pedicure workers and waiters.

Zheng Juan thought about it and agreed, saying that she would open a small restaurant first.

But how could Wang Chong let Zheng Juan go to open a small restaurant, not to mention that he was tired, he didn't earn much, if he wanted to get a high-end one, he had to earn the money of those rich people.

Anyway, there is a lot of money in the pocket, just in the past few years, Jichun has been developing rapidly, and he has not found his favorite place, Wang Chong simply put his heart sideways, and directly bought a piece of land by the lake, covering an area of four or five acres, and spent more than 100,000 yuan to build a house, got a private dish, and spent money on advertising on the radio, only seven tables of orders a day, making it very high-end.

At the beginning, there was naturally no business, but I couldn't resist people's curiosity, most people stopped because of the price of private dishes, but since Wang Chong's company made an appointment to talk about the project in Zheng Juan's private restaurant, those who talked about business in Jichun actually regarded being able to talk about business in a private restaurant as a kind of face embodiment.

At this point, if you want to order food in the Zheng family's private restaurant, you have to call a day or two in advance to make a reservation.

Earn the money just by standing properly.

The branch has also entered the extreme of steady development, with the implementation of reform and opening up in Jichun in recent years, the branch has Wang Zhong in charge, and there is the endorsement of the company in Shenzhen, but there is no shortage of work to do.

Qiao Chunyan is also a hearty child, Wu Shangyi only stayed in Jichunhui for a total of two months, so she threw all the trivial matters of the company to Qiao Chunyan, returned to Shencheng, and reunited with Lao Wu and the children.

Qiao Chunyan does have the ability, after taking over Wu Shangyi's work, she handled everything in an orderly manner, although it has something to do with the small scale of the company, but it is enough to show Qiao Chunyan's ability.

At the end of 85, a construction company was established under the branch, and the original construction team of Sun Catch-up and Xiao Guoqing was incorporated, and even the construction team with their new group was also incorporated.

And successively recruited a lot of unemployed young people into the construction company, a total of hundreds of people, although there is no preparation, but the company can not bear to find a big job, at once solved more than 100 jobs, the relevant departments for the construction company is also all the way to the green light, but also signed a contract with the construction company, but where there is any big work, give priority to the construction company.

However, although there is a subordinate relationship between the construction company and the construction team, the company does not pay the construction team monthly wages, and the team members can also take over the work themselves, but if the company has work, the construction team has to give priority to the work on the company's side.

At the beginning of '87, Qiao Chunyan took the initiative to apply for the marketing department, starting from scratch, and at the beginning of '88, because of his excellent business ability, he was transferred to a construction company by Wang, mainly responsible for business, and let Qiao Chunyan play freely.

Even Luo Shibin, a second-rate son with no bottom line and no morality, can start from scratch and earn such a family business, Qiao Chunyan can do more things than Luo Shibin, and he is not as arrogant and has no bottom line as Luo Shibin, and Wang Chong's support, there is no shortage of capital, opportunities, and markets, Wang Chong doesn't believe that Qiao Chunyan can't afford a construction company.

In fact, as Wang Zhong expected, in only half a year's effort, Qiao Chunyan did a good job in the construction company, and he didn't know how many lists, and Qiao Chunyan contributed a lot to the development of the construction company to the scale it is today.

Early in the morning, it was snowing outside, and a cold wind was blowing.

Wang Chong came back from a morning run with the children as usual, and Li Suhua and Zheng Juan also made breakfast.

The four eldest ones have already been able to go to school by themselves, and they don't need Zheng Juan to send them for a long time, but the age of the little tail is still young, and they still need someone to pick them up.

After breakfast, Li Suhua went to school with a tightly wrapped little tail, Zheng Juan went directly to a private restaurant, and Wang Chong went to the company.

Sending the little tail into the school gate, Li Suhua couldn't wait to go straight to the light word piece.

This is a habit that Li Suhua has not been able to shake in the past few years.

Zhou Zhigang sent a letter, either to the light word piece, or to Zhou Bingyi, never to Wang Chong's new house, and never mentioned Wang Chong in the letter.

It's a pity that Wang Chong is not the original body, so he doesn't care about it at all.

Last time, Zhou Zhigang wrote a letter and said that he would retire during the Spring Festival and would come back from the mountain city, so he was excited to Li Suhua, and he ran to the light of the sky when he saw the sky, for fear that he would not be able to see Zhou Zhigang's letter for the first time if he was late.

At the end of '88 and the beginning of '89, the children ushered in the winter vacation.

On the 24th day of the lunar month, close to the end of the year, Li Suhua, who got up early in the morning, could no longer hold back his excitement, and after breakfast, he couldn't wait to urge Wang to return to the light word film.

The reason is also very simple, today is the day when Zhou Zhigang returns to Jichun.

Wang Chong didn't follow, drove Li Suhua back to the old house of the light word piece, and left directly.

On the side of the courtyard, Zheng Juan was holding a white enamel tea jar in her hand, which was the hot tea she had just brewed, at this time Wang Chong was writing in front of the window, Zheng Juan walked to Wang Chong's side, and his face that had left traces of time showed hesitation, and carefully put the tea jar in Wang Chong's hand, and asked tentatively: "We really don't want to return to the light of the word?" ”

Wang Chongshou didn't stop: "What are you going to do when you go back!" I can't live in the place, and I don't have to come back at night, and I can't find it for myself. ”

"Dad finally retired and came back, or you will be wronged and wronged, and give Dad a soft face?" In the final analysis, Zheng Juan still doesn't want to see Wang Chong and Zhou Zhigang die to the end.

Wang Zhong stopped his pen, put it next to the paper, turned around and looked up at Zheng Juan who was standing next to him: "Do you think your husband is the kind of person who can be soft to others casually?" ”

Zheng Juan sighed, walked behind Wang Chong, put a slightly rough hand on Wang Chong's shoulder, and then rubbed it: "How can there be an overnight feud between father and son, you don't know Dad's temperament, Mom has been worried about this matter these days, and she can't even eat." ”

"When were you bought by your mother?"

"What a buy! Can't speak. Zheng Juan's hand suddenly slammed hard, and Wang Chong, who was pinching it, gasped, and immediately turned around to look at her: "I want to murder my husband!" ”

"Phew!" Zheng Juan raised her hand and gave Wang Chong a shoulder, "Speak well." ”

Wang Chongren landed on himself with Zheng Juan's hand, and then grabbed it, pulled it suddenly, and pulled Zheng Juan's whole person to sit on his lap.

Wrap her hands around Zheng Juan's slender waist, which is no longer as slender as when she was young, and say softly: "Okay, let's talk about it!" But let's talk about it first, everything else can be discussed, and you have to listen to me about these things in the old Zhou family. ”

Zheng Juan glanced at Wang Zhong helplessly.

"Don't keep thinking about how good the family is in harmony, those are just appearances, as far as the current situation of the old Zhou family is concerned, if it is a group of harmony, it must be based on the pain of your husband."

"Can you bear it?" Seeing that Zheng Juan was a little hesitant, Wang Chong hurriedly added a few more fires.

"Out of sight and out of mind, if we pass now, if we don't agree with each other, and start to move again, can I still fight back? Or do you bear to watch your husband get beaten? ”

"This ······" Zheng Juan didn't know what to say, if this was before, Zheng Juan might have survived a fluke, but the last time she saw Zhou Zhigang disagree, she directly gave Wang Chong a big kick, and she almost didn't frighten Zheng Juan at that time.

"Hey!" A thousand words, all turned into a sigh, Zheng Juan looked at Wang Chong, her eyebrows tightened, and her eyes were full of worry: "Are you and Dad just going on like this?" That's not the way to go! ”

Wang Chongdao: "There is an old saying: you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, Zhou Zhigang never felt that his partiality was wrong, in his eyes, it was always me who was wrong." ”

"As a child, you must indeed be filial to your parents, but if you know that your parents are wrong, and blindly obey them, then it is not filial piety."

"What can I do?" Zheng Juan didn't have a clue, and hurriedly jumped up from Wang Chong's legs: "You can't really die old and die, right?" ”

"Let it be!" Wang Zhong said, "The key to this matter is not on me, so it's useless for us to be anxious." ”

"Hey! What is this called? Zheng Juan understands Wang Chong, and it is precisely because of this understanding that she has this feeling.

Wang Zhong is a kind-hearted person, with a tough temperament, and an upright person, especially in treating his children, Zheng Juan feels the deepest.

Wang Chong really sat on a bowl of water, impartial, no matter which child he loved, the children sometimes had conflicts and conflicts, Wang Chong never favored anyone, and he would punish whoever was wrong, and he would not be biased because of his age.

Even Zhou Rong's daughter Feng Yue, Wang Chong also treats everyone equally, he doesn't scruple about this because he is not his daughter, he cares about that, he eats and dresses the same as his own children, and he will not be the most special to her, if he does something wrong, he will also be punished, and he will be rewarded for doing a good job.

This is also what Zheng Juan admires most about Wang Chong, so in the matter of educating children, Zheng Juan has always been obedient to Wang Chong, and Wang Chong is not arbitrary, and will discuss with Zheng Juan many times.

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." Wang Zhong smiled and said, in his opinion, this matter is not a matter at all, "As far as our family is concerned, compared to many unfortunate people, it is nothing at all." ”

"Hey!" Zheng Juan sighed and remembered her own family, if she hadn't met Wang Chong, she wouldn't know what kind of life she would have had at this time: "It's my mother's place, I'm afraid I'm not happy." ”

This is also normal, the husband is back, and the son and grandson are also there, but the family can't be reunited.

"Mom, you don't have to worry too much, it's been so many years, she has already accepted this reality, but there is still hope, thinking that she can ease the relationship between me and Lao Zhou, let her do whatever she wants, let her toss, and avoid her cranky thoughts all day long."

Wang Chong's face suddenly turned serious, and he said very seriously: "But there is one thing, you have to promise that you must not be co-opted by my mother." ”

Zheng Juan smiled dumbly: "Okay, okay!" I'll listen to you! ”

But said on the other side, the light word piece, the old Zhou family.

Zhou Bingyi took Hao Dongmei to the train station early in the morning, and at about ten o'clock, he received Zhou Zhigang with a large number of large bags and small bags.

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

Seeing Zhou Zhigang, both of them were very happy, with smiles on their faces.

Zhou Zhigang was the same, his dark and wrinkled face was full of smiles: "Why are you two here?" ”

"It's your first day of retirement, how can we not come!"

Zhou Bingyi is on vacation, but Hao Dongmei is on leave, Hao Dongmei has already graduated, and now she is the chief physician in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the city hospital.

Zhou Zhigang glanced around, the smile on his face gradually faded a lot, and he even spoke a little harder: "Just the two of you?" ”

Zhou Bingyi understood what Zhou Zhigang was asking, and while helping Zhou Zhigang carry his luggage, he replied with a smile: "Just the two of us, I heard from my mother that Bingkun is planning to get a publishing house by himself recently, and he is very busy all day long. ”

The smile on Zhou Zhigang's face had disappeared, his face was slightly gloomy, he snorted, and said angrily: "Busy? I think he's still blaming me in his heart! ”

Hao Dongmei and Zhou Zhigang's face was wrong, and they hurriedly diverted the topic, "Dad!" Mom has made a lot of delicious food at home, just waiting for you, let's go back quickly, don't let Mom wait in a hurry. ”

"Yes, Dad! Mom has been looking forward to your coming back for years. Zhou Bingyi also hurriedly said to persuade.

Speaking of Li Suhua, Zhou Zhigang's thoughts in his heart were also aroused, so he didn't say anything, and the three of them didn't delay, and went straight to the light word piece when they got out of the train station.

Old Zhou's family.

Li Suhua was both happy and worried, and on the way back in the morning, he asked Wang Chong to deliberately go to the vegetable market, and bought a lot of meat and vegetables.

Early in the morning, Li Suhua began to make noodles and prepare Zhou Zhigang's favorite pork and green onion stuffed buns.

Eighteen pleated meat buns were sent to the steamer, and Li Suhua made side dishes, pork stewed vermicelli, fat sausages, all of which were hard dishes, as well as pancakes and green onions.

The Zhou family came from Ludong and couldn't get used to eating the sauce from Jiangliao, but the green onions, pancakes and buns were all Zhou Zhigang's favorites.

Jiangliao cuisine with pancake rolls and green onions is also a unique way to eat in the old Zhou family.

Seeing that it was past twelve o'clock, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Zhigang finally returned home, and before they entered the door, they smelled the fragrance of food wafting out of the house.

Li Suhua was wearing an apron, with a happy smile on his face, and the busy figure by the stove quietly appeared in Zhou Zhigang's mind.

"Mom! Mother! We're back! ”

Zhou Bingyi shouted happily into the room.

Immediately the curtain was lifted, the door was pushed open, compared to before, Li Suhua, whose face seemed to be a little rounder, was still holding a spatula in his hand, with an apron hanging in front of him, and appeared at the door with a surprised face: "I'm back!" ”

Seeing the familiar figure in front of Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, Li Suhua's eyes were suddenly full of tears.

"Old man!"

I was a little choked up and cried with joy.

Looking at the old wife in front of him, Zhou Zhigang only felt that his heart was mixed, and the steps under his feet were sometimes heavy, sometimes brisk, and he walked in front of Li Suhua, and said in a hoarse voice: "Old woman, I'm back." ”

Seven simple words tell the lovesickness of several years.
