It was getting late, and night had already fallen.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and Zhou Bingyi and his family rode bicycles under the guidance of street lamps all the way to the door of Wang Chong's house.

After parking the bicycle, the two walked up the steps, rang the doorbell, and it didn't take long for the door to open, and it was Zheng Juan who opened the door, and Zheng Juan was still wearing an apron.

"Big brother? Sister-in-law? Seeing the two, Zheng Juan was a little surprised.

"Juan'er!" Hao Dongmei barely squeezed out a smile, and Zhou Bingyi asked directly with an expressionless face: "Mom?" ”

"Mom is in the living room!" Zhou Bingyi pulled Hao Dongmei past Zheng Juan and walked in directly.

In Zhou Bingyi's opinion, Wang Chong is so kind of to Zhou Zhigang, and Zheng Juan's wife is also partly motivated, so naturally he will not give Zheng Juan any good looks.

seemed to feel the malice on Zhou Bingyi's body, and the big black and black behind the gate immediately barked, and Zheng Juan hurriedly called the big black and the second black to stop.

Hao Dongmei was a little afraid, although the body of the big black and the black was not strong, but the grinning appearance was quite vicious, and the barking voice was majestic, Hao Dongmei was a little scared every time she came over.

Fortunately, after Zheng Juan stopped Da Hei and Erhei, the two dogs didn't bark.

Hao Dongmei grabbed Zhou Bingyi's hand tightly, and the two walked quickly through the courtyard to the living room.

Looking at this posture, you don't have to think about it, you just know, it must be the teacher who came to the door to ask for the guilt, Zheng Juan closed the door, sighed, didn't care about washing the dishes and cleaning up, and quickly followed into the living room.

In the living room, the children are all around Li Suhua, sitting on the sofa watching TV, and today during the day, Wang Chong asked Zheng Juan to ask for leave for them, so naturally there is no homework.

There was a cartoon on the TV, and the little tail was leaning on Li Suhua's arms, holding a small jar of dried persimmons in his arms, holding one in his hand, and handing it to Li Suhua: "Grandma eats persimmons." ”

"Grandma doesn't eat it, you can eat it yourself!"

"Grandma, persimmons are delicious! It's very sweet, very sweet. ”

"Grandma doesn't like to eat persimmons, so let's eat them by myself." Li Suhua said with a smile and pushed the little tail's hand back.

Li Suhua's mood was still a little low, but the children surrounded her, talking to her in different ways, amusing her, distracting her, and having no time to think about anything else, it was okay.

Zhou Bingyi glanced at it and didn't see Wang Chong in the living room.

"Mom!" Zhou Bingyi said hello and walked into the small hall, Li Suhua was very surprised, with a smile on his face, and greeted his eldest son.

It's just that the smile is somewhat reluctant, and the expression is not so natural.

Although the children didn't like Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, they were still very polite and greeted them as soon as possible.

"Why are you two here?" Li Suhua is not a fool, and he reacted quickly, it must be because of what happened last night.

Zhou Bingyi pulled Hao Dongmei over, Zhou Cong got up to make way for them, walked to Zhou Ming and sat down, and the two of them sat in Zhou Cong's position.

"Come and see you!"

"By the way, Mom, why don't you see Bingkun?" Looking around, I didn't see Wang Chong, Zhou Bingyi asked.

"Uncle is looking for my dad, is there something wrong?" Without waiting for Li Suhua to say anything, Zhou Cong took the lead in standing up, but he spoke with a little politeness.

Zhou Cong originally liked Zhou Bingyi very much, but since the eighty-first year, the precocious Zhou Cong has a mustard for Zhou Bingyi in his heart, and this mustard is not so easy to eliminate in his life, but Zhou Bingyi is their elder in the end, and the courtesy and respect he should have must be indispensable.

Zhou Bingyi didn't hide it: "I'll ask your father about yesterday." ”

"My dad just drove to the hospital to deliver food to Grandpa Ma and Grandma Qu, usually my dad will stay with them in the hospital for an hour or two, maybe he will have to send Grandma Qu home today, and when he comes back, he will have to go at nine o'clock or ten o'clock."

"But if Uncle wants to know about yesterday, he can ask Grandpa or Aunt and Uncle, there is no need to waste time with my father."

Zhou Bingyi looked at Zhou Cong who was talking eloquently, but he didn't move: "There are some things that are better to tell your father in person." ”

"Bingyi!" Li Suhua frowned slightly, a little worried: "Yesterday's incident has passed, so don't follow it." ”

The relationship between Zhou Zhigang and Wang Chong is already like this, and Li Suhua doesn't want Zhou Bingyi to have any conflicts with Wang Chong because of this matter.

"If you have time, go back to the light and accompany your father."

And Li Suhua doesn't want to mention yesterday's incident, she has now begun to regret the slap that slapped Zhou Zhigang yesterday, but she is still angry with Zhou Zhigang in her heart, otherwise, she would have to change it to before, and she would have run back to see Zhou Zhigang at this time.

Feng Yue came over with two glasses of water: "Uncle, aunt, drink water." ”

Generally, when guests come to the door, they will pour tea for the guests, but Zhou Bingyi is not a kind guest in the eyes of the children, and the tea naturally becomes white water.

"Yesterday I received your call, I didn't dare to delay for a moment, immediately rushed back, met Dad and Huacheng halfway, Dad didn't say anything along the way, asked him and didn't answer, estimated to sulk, after getting home, took off his shoes and lay on the kang, this morning, Dad didn't even eat breakfast, he said he wasn't hungry when he called him." Zhou Bingyi sighed, his face full of worry.

"Hey!"

Li Suhua was stunned when she heard this, and immediately subconsciously asked worriedly: "What about noon and night?" Didn't eat either? ”

Anger is anger, worry is worry.

Zhou Bingyi's face stiffened when he was asked, shook his head, and said with a look of self-reproach: "I still have to go to work during the day, but I am looking at him at home, and I haven't come back yet." ”

"Uncle is really filial, he knows that grandpa doesn't eat, but he doesn't want to go back to see grandpa, but he came to my house to find my dad!" The little expert Zhou Ling is online again.

"Little tail, let me tell you, don't learn from your uncle in the future, everything has a priority, let's be clear."

Little Tail said with a serious face: "I know the third sister." ”

"Zhou Ling!" Without waiting for Zhou Bingyi to attack, Zhou Cong immediately reprimanded with a straight face: "How can you talk to your uncle, your uncle is our elder, how can you be yin and yang!" ”

"Uncle is worried about grandma's body, and he came to see grandma, but if he has no evidence, how can he be honest and slander his uncle."

Then he said to Zhou Bingyi with an apologetic face: "Uncle, I'm really sorry, Lingling is still young, she is not sensible, she speaks openly, you have a lot of adults, and the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, don't be like her." ”

Zhou Bingyi's face was as usual, although he was unhappy in his heart, but Zhou Cong said so, he is an elder, and it is not good to really see Zhou Rong as a child.

Zhou Ling's age is indeed there.

Li Suhua also glared at Zhou Ling, under the double pressure of Zhou Cong and Li Suhua, Zhou Ling stuck out her tongue and said to Zhou Bingyi in a fake manner: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I was talking nonsense just now, if you are unhappy, you can beat me a few times." ”

However, the acting skills still need to be improved.

But what kind of person is Zhou Bingyi, and he has been up and down for so many years, how can he still be a chick who is moody.

showed a warm and friendly smile, and said softly: "It's okay, Tong Yan is unscrupulous." ”

"It's all your own family, so it's a joke, it's nothing, but if you go outside, when you're with outsiders, you have to pay attention, it's easy to offend people by talking nonsense."

Zhou Cong hurriedly pushed Zhou Ling, "Don't hurry up and thank you, uncle." ”

"Thank you, uncle, I remembered, I have corrected it in the future." Zhou Ling said reluctantly.

But looking at her face as usual, she didn't take her cynicism to heart at all, but talked eloquently about Zhou Bingyi, who in turn educated her, Zhou Ling puffed out her little face, and she was angry if she didn't succeed.

Compared with Zhou Bingyi, her rank is too low.

Oops, it's so angry!

Li Suhua said: "Cong Cong is right, Bingkun has indeed just left for a long time, and he may not be able to come back when." ”

Zhou Bingyi said: "It's okay, we didn't come to Bingkun on a special trip, I originally wanted to persuade him, so it's okay, he and his father are probably angry these days, and after a few days they are angry, I'll persuade them well." ”

Li Suhua sighed, "If only it were so easy to persuade!" ”

Whether it is Zhou Zhigang or Wang Chong, they are all the same stubborn donkey temper, holding on and not leaving, and fighting backwards.

Zhou Bingyi said: "Mom, we are a family, which family has no trivial disputes, we can say it happily if we have anything, everything is put on the table, everyone discusses and solves it together, you take a step back, I let you take half a step, and everything is said, and we will still be a harmonious family at that time." ”

Zhou Bingyi's words came from the heart, although the relationship between him and Wang Chong in the past few years has not been as good as before, he still hopes that their family can be well.

Just like just now, the hostility of several children towards him, although Zhou Bingyi felt uncomfortable, he understood it very well.

A few of the children had an opinion about him because of the original adoption.

Zhou Bingyi knew very well that this was indeed his own inauthenticity, when Hao Dongmei and Jin Yueji asked him, he didn't know which tendon was suddenly wrong, and he acquiesced.

After that, Zhou Bingyi immediately regretted it.

A manly man, a mouthful of spit, makes a decision, then he has to be responsible for the result because of this decision.

Zhou Bingyi's words directly hit Li Suhua's heart, most of her life has passed, I don't know how many days there are to live, and what I hope is not to be rich and rich, but to live a harmonious and happy life!

As long as he can do this, even if he eats bran vegetables every day, Li Suhua can wake up laughing when he falls asleep.

The mother and son looked at each other, and they both saw the sincerity in each other's eyes.

"Bingyi!" Li Suhua had tears in his eyes, his eyes flickered, and his voice trembled a little.

But when the words came to Li Suhua's mouth, he didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly his expression darkened again: "Forget it, it's actually good to be like this now, you don't care about Bingkun's side, I'll just tell him, you go back and persuade your dad to take care of him more often!" ”

Although Zhou Bingyi is in Jichun, he can't go back home a few times a year, just like the woman who got married and went back to her parents' home.

Zhou Cong smiled and said: "My dad has been very busy recently, not only busy with the company's affairs, but also taking care of the magazine, I'm afraid that I may not have time to see my uncle, if my uncle really has something important recently, he can call his father's company directly, or tell me first, and then I will relay it to my father." ”

Zhou Bingyi said: "You are already a high school student, and you have a heavy study task, so I won't trouble you, I have nothing to do with your father, but we haven't seen him for a long time, I want to meet him, get together, chat, and talk about my heart." ”

The two exchanged a few more words, and Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment, as if she had said everything, but as if she hadn't said anything.

Zheng Juan came over with a plate of oranges and a plate of cut sugar cane, and beckoned the two of them to come: "Big brother and sister-in-law, eat some fruit, there are no good things at home, don't dislike it." ”

"No, no, no, let's just come and see Mom, sit for a while, and we'll have to return to the word piece later!" Zhou Bingyi said.

Hao Dongmei said: "Juan'er, you are busy beforehand, don't care about us." ”

Zheng Juan also listened to the seven-seven-eighty-eight just now, and knew that Zhou Bingyi was not here to find trouble, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen to clean up first, and you can sit with your mother for a while." ”

"Congcong, greet your uncle and aunt well."

"Okay Mom!"

Zhou Ling and Feng Yue glanced at each other, and also got up and said, "Mom (little aunt), I'll help you!" ”

······

When Wang Chong returned home, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei had already left.

When Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei rushed to the old house, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng were there, and Zhou Zhigang was still lying on the kang as in the morning.

Standing outside in the kitchen, Zhou Bingyi lifted the curtain and looked at the east room, where Zhou Zhigang was still lying on the kang, facing the east wall and facing the door with his back.

"Dad just lay on the kang for a day?" Zhou Bingyi asked in a low voice.

"That's not it, I got up a few times during the day."

"Have you eaten?"

Feng Huacheng said: "I didn't eat at noon, I ate some in the evening, but I ate very little, and after eating and smoking a few cigarettes or two, I lay down again." ”

"Still won't speak?"

Feng Huacheng nodded.

Zhou Rong also said worriedly: "When I talk to my father, he just responds, and he doesn't say a word, if it's okay for a while, if it's a long time, I'm worried about ······."

Zhou Bingyi also looked solemn: "Although Dad's body has always been tough, but in the end, when he is old, it is not a way to hold things in his heart." ”

"What then?" Zhou Rong was anxious, although she was selfish, although she even did not hesitate to say anything about cutting off relations with her parents for Feng Huacheng's sake, she still had feelings for her parents who had loved her since she was a child.

"The bell needs to be tied to the bell." Zhou Bingyi said.

Zhou Rong frowned and looked at Zhou Bingyi: "You mean our mother?" ”

Zhou Bingyi nodded,

Feng Huacheng was present at the time, and knew how angry Li Suhua was at that time: "I'm afraid it's not that easy." ”

"Brother, you didn't see how sad your mother was crying yesterday."

"Our mother has always been soft-hearted." Zhou Rong's eyes flashed slightly, and said: "If she knew about our father's situation, she wouldn't have been able to sit still and run back." ”

Zhou Bingyi also thought so, he felt it when he was at Wang Chong's house today, and Li Suhua was still very worried about Zhou Zhigang.

Sure enough, as Zhou Rong expected, the next morning, Feng Huacheng was sitting in the back room, and Li Suhua hurried back.

Li Suhua went directly into the east room, and looked at Zhou Zhigang who was lying against the wall, facing the wall and facing the door, and the anger in his heart suddenly came out.

"Zhou Zhigang, what are you doing!"

"In broad daylight, the sun is drying your buttocks, and you're still lying on the kang!"

Li Suhua's voice almost didn't startle Zhou Zhigang, turned around and saw Li Suhua standing on the side of the kang, looking at himself angrily, a little incredulous, rubbing his eyes, and seeing more and more real.

"You······ You're back? "I stumbled and stumbled even when I spoke.

"You don't eat, you don't speak, you lie down all day, don't you know that the children are worried about you?" The more Li Suhua talked about it, the more angry he became, pointing at Zhou Zhigang's nose and scolding.

If this was before, although Li Suhua's status in the family was not low, he had always been a good wife and mother in front of Zhou Zhigang, although he occasionally quarreled with Zhou Zhigang, but he had never scolded so loudly as now.

"I'm sorry!" Zhou Zhigang looked at the menacing Li Suhua, and somehow, he suddenly felt a sense of weakness: "I... I didn't mean to, I just felt uncomfortable and didn't want to talk! ”

"Then why don't you eat? Is it fun to see your children worried? ”

"I didn't!" Zhou Zhigang was anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, and quickly explained: "I'm just not hungry... Don't want to eat. ”

"If you're not hungry, you won't eat? Not hungry ······"

Li Suhua was full of momentum, but as he spoke, he suddenly spoke, looking at Zhou Zhigang, who was sitting on the kang and looking at him with a little twist, his eyes suddenly widened, his face was shocked, and his eyes were full of power in disbelief.

"You... You... You ·····" Li Suhua pointed at Zhou Zhigang, but he didn't get a whole breath, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Zhou Zhigang immediately became anxious when he saw this, and he couldn't care about the thinness he was only wearing, so he jumped off the kang with a numb turn, helped Li Suhua, and asked with a worried face: "Old woman, what's wrong with you, old woman······ Old woman ······"

Feng Huacheng in the back room felt nervous when he heard the movement, and hurriedly threw down the book in his hand and ran to the east room.

I happened to see Zhou Zhigang nervously helping Li Suhua to sit on the edge of the kang, while gently patting Li Suhua's back to smooth his breath, while asking Li Suhua about his situation with a worried face.

Seeing Feng Huacheng, Zhou Zhigang hurriedly instructed him to pour hot water for Li Suhua to drink.

After tossing for a while, Li Suhua, who spit out that turbid breath, finally eased up.

Looking Zhou Zhigang up and down, Li Suhua's heart was full of confusion, and the twisting and pinching posture just now would appear on Zhou Zhigang's body.

Zhou Zhigang in Li Suhua's impression is a typical machismo, hot-tempered, stubborn, and more stubborn than a donkey.

Li Suhua couldn't believe his eyes.

"Old woman, how are you, are you better?" Zhou Zhigang saw Li Suhua looking at him with a puzzled expression, and handed over the water tank: "Drink saliva first." ”

The tone of concern was exactly the same as when Wang Zhong usually cared about Zheng Juan.

"What the hell do you want?" Li Suhua lowered his face, stared at Zhou Zhigang and asked.

"What are you talking about, old woman, I don't understand!"

"Leave it here and pretend to be confused." Seeing Zhou Zhigang like this, Li Suhua said in a deep voice: "I asked you why you didn't eat?" ”

"I didn't say I wouldn't eat, wasn't I hungry!" Zhou Zhigang looked aggrieved, but looking at Li Suhua's ugly face, he immediately changed his words: "Just eat, I'll eat!" ”

"Is there anything to eat at home?"

"Yes! There are steamed buns and porridge on the stove! Feng Huacheng pointed to the small steaming drawer on the stove next to him, which he left in the morning, because he was afraid that Zhou Zhigang would be hungry and would be able to have a hot meal to eat at any time.

Zhou Zhigang walked to the stove in three or two steps, opened the lid of the steaming drawer, and reached out to take the bowl in the steamer, but the bowl was always hot in the steam, and directly retracted Zhou Zhigang's hand.

Zhou Zhigang looked around, but didn't find a tool, so he simply shrank his hand, directly held the edge of the bowl with his sleeve, took out the porridge and buns, and put them on the table.

I didn't see the chopsticks when I looked left and right, I blew on the bun, grabbed it directly with my hand, and the hot two hands went back and forth a few times, and then grabbed it in my hand, and I took a big bite when I lowered my head, and then I ate it happily.

took a bite, lowered his head and blew the white porridge on the table, then took a big bite of the bun, held the wall of the bowl with his sleeve, and took a small bite of the porridge.

Immediately, I saw him pick up the bowl and turn it over, and smiled at Li Suhua, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, and said, "Old woman, look, I'm done eating." ”

Li Suhua was so shocked by this scene that he couldn't close his mouth, his eyes were dark, his upper body leaned back, and he fell down directly.

In the haze, it seemed that she still heard Zhou Zhigang calling her worriedly.

When Li Suhua woke up, what caught his eye was Zhou Zhigang's surprised smile,

"Old woman, you're awake!"

Li Suhua was still a little stunned, propped herself up, and a hot towel with warmth fell from her forehead, Li Suhua took a closer look, only to find that her whole person was already lying on the kang, and her body was still covered with a quilt.

"You're awake, you don't know, you suddenly fainted just now, but it scared me." Zhou Zhigang said with a concerned face: "It's good to wake up!" Are you hungry? ”

Li Suhua didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Zhigang like this, looking puzzled,

Zhou Zhigang suddenly showed a bright smile on his face, and said to Li Suhua: "Don't you like to eat meat buns, I'll make it for you to eat, you wait." ”

Leaving the words, Zhou Zhigang hurriedly ran out.

Li Suhua still felt dizzy, lifted the quilt, sat cross-legged, and looked around, it was indeed an old house with light characters, she had lived here for decades, the same as before, nothing had changed.

Feng Huacheng happened to open the curtain and walked in, and when he saw Li Suhua sitting up, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, you are awake." ”

"What happened to me?"

"It's nothing, it's just fainting."

Li Suhua suddenly fainted on the kang just now, and the two of them were startled, but fortunately, the two of them just lifted Li Suhua onto the kang and put on a hot towel, Zhou Zhigang pinched Li Suhua again, Feng Huacheng was about to get dressed and go out to call someone, and Li Suhua woke up.

Zhou Zhigang held a bowl of white porridge, a pair of chopsticks, and a plate of pickles, and placed them on the kang table.

"The buns will take a while, you drink some porridge first."

The porridge was left over from cooking in the morning, and it was always hot in the pot outside.

Stuffing the chopsticks into Li Suhua's eyes, Zhou Zhigang moved the porridge to Li Suhua, just sat at the kang table and looked at her, and when he saw that she hadn't moved, he asked, "Aren't you hungry?" Why don't you eat it? ”

Li Suhua looked at the familiar but unfamiliar Zhou Zhigang in front of him, and was a little confused.

Remembering the purpose of his coming, he quickly got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, looked at Zhou Zhigang, his face sank, and asked, "What do you want?" ”
