"Mom!"

Zhou Bingyi looked at Jin Yueji, who was indignant, and without waiting for her to finish, he interrupted what she was about to say next: "Let's stop this topic!" ”

Jin Yueji frowned, her eyebrows full of unhappiness: "What do you mean?" ”

At the same time, there was a bit of surprise, and even a hint of almost imperceptible anger.

"Things that are destined to have no results, why bother talking about them!" Zhou Bingyi tried his best to save face for Jin Yueji, speaking is indeed an art, especially between smart people, there is no need to break it at all.

Jin Yueji's face sank like water, and her gaze at Zhou Bingyi was majestic and oppressive, quite aggressive.

With just this sentence, Zhou Bingyi showed his attitude clearly.

But how could Jin Yueji be willing, because of this incident, she completely put down her figure, pulled down her face, and did not hesitate to calculate an "ignorant" woman who did not even graduate from elementary school, and afterwards Wang Zhong threw that self-esteemed face to the ground and stepped on it a few times.

A little person who used to be despised by Jin Yueji at all, an ant, but dared to treat her like that, how could she not be angry.

Zhou Bingyi sighed in his heart, met Jin Yueji's gaze, and said seriously and sincerely: "As the so-called gold is not enough, no one is perfect, how can there be a perfect person in this world." ”

"Bingkun does have some shortcomings in his character, but he is kind, and he is extremely filial to my mother, over the years, he has done his best to take care of his mother at home, more than ten years like a day, even finally admitted to Shuimu University, to go to Yanjing, and do not forget to find a way to bring my mother over.

Yanjingju, it's not easy, in order to take his mother over, Bingkun has to pay for this how much effort we can't see. ”

There are some things that can't stand up to careful thinking, and Shencheng was the first to eat crabs in '84 and cancel the food stamp system.

Wang Chong was admitted to Yanda University, although the school has subsidies every month, but whether it is Li Suhua or Zheng Juan, and the children, there is no Yanjing hukou at that time, and the daily expenses of firewood, rice, oil and salt alone are much higher than those of other ordinary families.

And at that time, the family was still large, and Wang Chong had no job at that time, and the school's subsidy was only used by one person.

Thinking that Wang Chong had to cope with the heavy schoolwork at that time, he also had to insist on writing and publishing books to earn manuscript fees.

Think about yourself again, one person is fed, the whole family is not hungry, and the whole heart is devoted to studying, completely forgetting that there is still a mother to support.

Even, since he went to the Corps, except for Zhou Rong, Zhou Bingyi has never worried about family affairs.

The letters written to him by the family were always just good and happy things, as well as his mother's greetings.

As for the others, when he bumped into it, accidentally got sick, or encountered any difficulties, Zhou Bingyi had never seen it in his letters.

Especially in the past few years, he and Hao Dongmei have lived in Hao's house, accompanied by Jin Yueji and Hao Dongmei's father, and they are even more empathetic, and they can understand Wang Chong's situation at the beginning, every time he thinks of this, Zhou Bingyi feels ashamed.

As the eldest son in the family, he was placed high hopes on his parents when he was a child, and he was more caring and considerate.

Can be ······

"To be honest, in terms of filial piety to my parents, I am far inferior to Bingkun."

And in terms of children's education, although Bingkun's method is different from the traditional way of educating children in families, it is also unique.

Perhaps because of his own experience, in front of many children, he has truly achieved a bowl of water and impartiality, and in this alone, he has surpassed the vast majority of people in this world. ”

Wang Chong's concept of children's education seems to be full of mistakes and omissions in the eyes of Jin Yueji, the older generation whose ideas are more feudal, but Zhou Bingyi is also a knowledgeable young man who grew up under the red flag and received higher education.

Wang Chong's educational method of guiding and motivating go hand in hand is more scientific in Zhou Bingyi's eyes, especially some of the concepts, which let Zhou Bingyi see Wang Chong's absorption and reference of some foreign educational methods.

As he spoke, Zhou Bingyi sighed with emotion and said from the bottom of his heart: "If Bingkun and I were in the same position, I might not be able to do better than him." ”

Zhou Bingyi's words really surprised Jin Yueji.

She always thought that Zhou Bingyi would be haunted by the last time the two families ate at Ji Canteen, so when this opportunity finally appeared, she turned around and turned to this topic.

But in the end, it is an old fox who has been over the years, and in terms of mentality, he has eaten more salt than Zhou Bingyi has eaten.

"So what?" Jin Yueji looked at Zhou Bingyi, and her expression returned to normal in an instant.

Zhou Bingyi said: "And the most important point, the four children, all of whom are the children of Bingkun and Zheng Juan, were born when Zheng Juan was pregnant in October, Mom, you are also a woman, how hard and dangerous it is for a woman to give birth to a child, you must know this better than me." ”

Jin Yueji did not answer.

Zhou Bingyi continued: "You should know better than me how hard it is for the two of them to raise their children so hard to be so old now. ”

"You are also a mother, if someone wants to snatch Dongmei away from you, how would you feel?"

In the face of Zhou Bingyi's series of questions, Jin Yueji was speechless, the reasons and excuses she had thought of in advance, at this moment, in the face of Zhou Bingyi, who exceeded her expectations and did not play cards according to the routine at all, she couldn't even say a single one.

But this is not over, I saw Zhou Bingyi continue with emotion:

"Heart to heart, although I have never been a father, but I am also a son of others, a person who is the eldest brother of others, if someone wants to snatch Bingkun and Zhou Rong away from me and call someone else's eldest brother, I think I will definitely be unwilling, if someone wants to snatch me away from my parents and call them parents, I will definitely be unwilling."

"Maybe there will be resentment in my heart because of this."

"And!"

"You said that Congcong and Yueyue couldn't think of those tricks, and they couldn't say those sets of words, but I don't think so."

"I watched a few children grow up, Cong Cong this child is smart, smart, with a maturity and calmness far beyond his peers, although he is not very old, but well-read, his relationship with his younger siblings is even closer.

If I were him, I would have been hostile to him and wary of him after seeing someone forcing his mother to take his brother away. ”

"Words and attitudes are the only way for him to protect his younger siblings from being snatched from him."

"Although Cong Cong's speech last time was a little ugly, if we look at it from his point of view, maybe we may not be able to do as well as him."

"My dad didn't know what was going on, and in that case, Cong Cong was able to let the two little ones take my dad and my mom away first, so that they wouldn't hear those words, and that alone made me look at him."

"Even if what you say is right and makes sense, but merit is merit, and it is excessive, no matter how good Zhou Bingkun did before, he can't cover up the mistakes he made in your father's matter.

A son would treat his father like that, it was his father, the father who gave him life, raised him with hard work, gave him food, gave him clothes, provided him with education, and gave him the opportunity to go to university and get ahead.

Isn't it wrong for a son to treat his father like this in your eyes?

Also, have you ever thought that Zhou Bingkun can treat his father like this today, just because your father wants to beat him, he will drive his biological father out of the house overnight, so in the future, when his children grow up, will they do the same to him? ”

Jin Yueji endured the displeasure in her heart, and said with a gloomy face: "Parents are the first teachers of children in this world, and the first step for children to learn in this world is to observe and learn the words and deeds of their parents, and treat others and things. ”

Zhou Bingyi was a little moved, because he also thought that what Jin Yueji said was indeed reasonable, but he still said: "If this is the case, then he also found it himself, and he did it himself, and let him bear the corresponding consequences." ”

Jin Yueji persuaded with a look of hatred: "Bingyi, this mother has to say a few words about you, you are not only Zhou Bingkun's eldest brother, you are also the children's uncle, and the eldest son of your old Zhou family." ”

"If you want to be a good big brother, you have to think about your younger brother and younger brother-in-law and take care of their feelings."

"But what about the children? Have you considered them? Jin Yueji's voice became higher and higher, and her confidence became more and more sufficient: "Have you considered their future?" You must know that there is also your old Zhou family, and these children are the future of your old Zhou family. ”

As she spoke, Jin Yueji's emotions were also unconsciously driven by herself, and she was a little excited.

Sensing the change in her own mood, Jin Yueji lifted the gold-wire glasses on the bridge of her nose, took a few deep breaths, and quietly calmed down the violent ups and downs: "These words, I shouldn't have said much, but Dongmei is such a daughter, just a son-in-law like you, as your elder, although some words are ugly, I can't help but say them." ”

"Do you understand what I say?"

Zhou Bingyi was moved by Jin Yueji's words, remembering his previous doubts and speculations about Jin Yueji, he couldn't help but feel guilty, and even scolded himself in his heart, how could he think about Jin Yueji so much.

But after thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be quite right, although Jin Yueji's words are touching, but every sentence, every word, is not far from Wang Chong and the children, thinking of this, Zhou Bingyi's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Sometimes, being too smart isn't necessarily good.

Looking at Jin Yueji, Zhou Bingyi said sincerely: "Mom! I know that you are for the good of me and Dongmei, and I don't want us to have no one to give us a pension after a hundred years, I understand you, and I sincerely thank you. ”

Then his brows furrowed slightly, and his face showed hesitation, but after thinking about it carefully, he still turned his heart sideways and said directly: "But there is one thing I have to explain to you first, no matter what, I will definitely not agree to the succession, Dongmei and I both think that it is actually good to be like this now, if you are honest and don't worry, then we will go to adopt a child and come back, although it is not my Zhou family's bloodline, but as long as I change my surname, it will be the same." ”

"If you still don't think it's okay, then let that kid follow Dongmei's surname Hao Yecheng."

"Zhou Bingyi, ...... you" Jin Yueji heard this, her face was instantly around, cloudy and uncertain to the point of pale, and she raised her hand to point at Zhou Bingyi, with an angry face.

"Mom, Bingkun's side, don't get involved, the matter between him and my dad is not as simple as you see, and you can't say it clearly in a sentence or two."

Jin Yueji looked at Zhou Bingyi with hatred, shook her head and said angrily: "Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Bingyi, I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so unenlightened, I really misjudged you." ”

Zhou Bingyi's face changed slightly, and he took a deep breath, "Mom, I know that you must be uncomfortable in your heart, if there is anything else, I can listen to you, but this matter ······"

Zhou Bingyi's mind appeared one after another, Zhou Zhigang, Li Suhua, Wang Chong, Zheng Juan, Zhou Rong, Feng Huacheng, and children.

"It's not negotiable!" Zhou Bingyi's tone was firm and undeniable.

Looking at Jin Yueji's eyes were full of determination.

Jin Yueji was seen by Zhou Bingyi and didn't know what to say, she could have stood up and pointed at Zhou Bingyi and scolded, but Jin Yueji, who was self-reliant, how could she make these market women play scoundrel postures.

The living room was instantly silent.

“······”

After tidying up the kitchen, Hao Dongmei walked to the living room, and vaguely felt that the atmosphere didn't seem to be quite right.

"Why don't you speak?"

looked at Zhou Bingyi, and then at Jin Yueji, and the expressions of the two of them didn't seem to be abnormal.

"Dongmei, just now Bingyi said that you plan to adopt a child?" Jin Yueji said.

Hao Dongmei glanced at Zhou Bingyi, nodded at Jin Yueji and said, "Hmm! I discussed with Bingyi for a long time, although Bingkun and Zheng Juan's children are closer in terms of blood kinship, but Bingkun and Zheng Juan are reluctant, and we don't want to force them to stiffen the relationship, and Little Tail is now more than seven years old, and now if he says a follow-up, I'm afraid that Little Tail himself is unwilling. ”

"Instead of making both families unhappy and making the children hate me and Bingyi, it is better for us to find a young, healthy, and eye-catching adoption from the children who have lost their parents in peace."

"In this way, it will not affect the relationship between the Bingyi and Bingkun brothers, and the two of us can also have a sustenance, isn't it just the best of both worlds!"

Jin Yueji looked at Hao Dongmei, who had a smile on her face as she spoke, her eyes full of expectation, and even though she had a thousand words in her heart, she didn't know how to say it at the moment.

If Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei are unwilling, can she, who is the mother-in-law of others, still be able to go past the two of them, go to Wang Chong, find Zheng Juan, and let them pass the child to Zhou Bingyi and his family?

After being silent for a while, Jin Yueji sighed and waved her hand with a lonely face, "It's me who is nosy, since the two of you have discussed it, then come according to what you discussed, don't ask my opinion." ”

Saying that, Jin Yueji had already stood up, turned around and walked towards the room, but her back was a little lonely.

The smile and expectation on Hao Dongmei's face disappeared immediately, and Zhou Bingyi hurriedly glanced at her, and Hao Dongmei immediately chased after her.

"Mom!"

"Mom!"

“······”

Zhou Bingyi sat in the living room, looking at the backs of his wife and mother-in-law, with mixed feelings.

But his heart was still firm, and he did not waver in his thoughts because of this.

At noon the next day, in a teahouse box near Wang Chong's company, Zhou Bingyi had been waiting in the box for a long time.

Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, the big scalp shoes under his feet were polished by Zheng Juan, Wang Chong sat opposite Zhou Bingyi, and asked directly to the point: "What is the eldest brother looking for me?" ”

Zhou Bingyi smiled and took out a teacup, picked up the teapot and poured most of the cup, and pushed the cup in front of Wang Chong.

Zhou Bingyi smiled and said, "How long has it been since we two brothers sat down like this and talked well?" ”

"I can't remember!" Wang Zhong picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Let's hurry up, I'm a little short of time, and I have to go to Jichun University in the afternoon to participate in the preliminary design plan."

Zhou Bingyi said: "Don't worry, even if you go to a meeting, you have to eat lunch!" As he spoke, he lifted the teapot again and refilled the cup for the king.

Wang Chong didn't drink it anymore, and directly put down his words: "If you really have nothing to do, I'll go." ”

"Dad, I think it's necessary to tell you," Zhou Bingyi said.

"What the hell is going on, just say it!" Wang Chong said: "It's not like you. ”

Zhou Bingyi sighed and told Alzheimer's about it.

To Zhou Bingyi's surprise, Wang Chong listened to it and did not show the slightest wave.

"Aren't you surprised at all? Worried at all? Seeing Wang Chong's calm appearance, Zhou Bingyi asked a little angrily.

Wang Zhong said: "If it really causes Alzheimer's, it is useless for us to be surprised and worried, if not, then why are we worrying here!" ”

"Besides, anyway, now that he's moved back to the light word piece, he won't explode like a powder keg without me being an eyesore in front of him."

"Hey!" Zhou Bingyi listened, except for sighing, he could only sigh.

They have three brothers and sisters, and Zhou Zhigang is the only one who has a temper in front of Wang Chong.

"Also, if you really don't worry, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng should have more snacks over there! If Zhou Rong's temper comes up, she doesn't care about it. ”

Zhou Bingyi's heart froze, and his face instantly became serious and solemn: "I will pay more attention." ”

"Okay! If you're okay with anything else, I'll go first. ”

"Wait!" Wang Chonghuan was stopped by Zhou Bingyi every time he got up.

"I know you've been busy lately, I'll just tell you about Dad, so that you have a number in your heart, I came to you this time, in addition to Dad's matter, I also want to apologize to you in person." Zhou Bingyi's expression suddenly changed, and he said very seriously.

"Apologize?" Wang Zhong frowned, a little incredulous.

"Why apologize?"

Zhou Bingyi looked at Wang Chong, his eyes were frank and calm, and he said in a sincere tone: "Recently, I have thought about it for a long time and thought a lot, you are right, I am not a competent son, let alone a competent big brother. ”

"For so many years, I have lived in the Hao family with peace of mind, only caring about how to prove myself in front of Dongmei's parents, and most of the time I stayed in the Hao family, but I neglected my parents and you."

"What are you?" Wang Chong didn't dare to believe his ears, he was really shocked by Zhou Bingyi's words, and he was very surprised.

These words actually came out of Zhou Bingyi's mouth.

Zhou Bingyi laughed at himself: "You are right, I am cautious in my words and deeds in the Hao family, I am afraid that Dongmei's parents will look down on me, so I have been trying hard to prove to them that I, Zhou Bingyi, can be worthy of Hao Dongmei, and I Zhou Bingyi will become the son-in-law of their Hao family, and I will not let them be ashamed." ”

"Now that I think about it, it is because of these immature ideas of mine that it will lead to those conflicts in our family that should not have appeared."

"In order to marry Dongmei, the first thing I thought of was not to convince my parents, but to hide the fact that Dongmei couldn't have children, and even deceived them, saying that I couldn't have children."

Zhou Bingyi shook his head, with a little remorse in his expression.

"In the handling of the relationship between the two families, I am also too indecisive and not responsible." Zhou Bingyi laughed at himself, it stands to reason that the relationship between Zhou Zhigang and Wang Chong is so tense, and he also has a part of the credit.

"And when Dongmei and her mother took advantage of your absence, they went to Zheng Juan to mention the matter of step-tails."

Saying that, Zhou Bingyi sighed and said: "It was my lard that blinded my heart and acquiesced in this matter, which caused great trouble to you, Zheng Juan and the children, and it was my fault." ”

Wang Chong swallowed his saliva, looked at Zhou Bingyi in front of him, his eyes were still full of vigilance, and he couldn't help but subconsciously ask, "What do you want to do?" ”

"It's impossible to pass on, even if the old man and mother are on your side, it's useless." Don't say it's just on their side, to put it mildly, even if they are forced to die by Zhou Bingyi, Wang Chong will never agree.

"Don't think about it, I don't mean anything else."

"Dongmei and I have already discussed, let's go to the orphanage and find a child who is innocent, healthy, young, and suitable for adoption."

"I promise you!" Seeing that Wang Chong was still a little suspicious, Zhou Zhigang raised his hand and raised three fingers and said, "I swear, if I still think about the succession, let my career be cut off." ”

Seeing Zhou Bingyi's appearance, Wang Chong finally let down the guard in his heart: "If you could have thought like this earlier, we wouldn't have come to this point." ”

"Hey!" Zhou Bingyi sighed and said, "It was my lard that blinded me at the beginning, and I only thought about myself, but I didn't take into account the feelings of you and Juan'er, it was my fault." ”

Zhou Bingyi looked at Wang Chong's performance, and was not surprised, but stood up, his back was straight, like a pine and cypress, and then bent down, bowed to Wang Chong, and said sincerely: "Bingkun, I know that I have done a lot of things that hurt you and Juan'er before, whether intentional or invisible, but it did hurt you and Juan'er, I dare not ask for your forgiveness, but I just want you to know that my apology is sincere." ”

Wang Chong looked at Zhou Bingyi, who bowed at 90 degrees and had a very sincere attitude, his eyes flickered for a while, and finally turned into a sigh, got up and reached out to help Zhou Bingyi up.

"Okay, I accept your apology."

"Thank you, Bingkun!" Zhou Bingyi's eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

The two brothers sat down again, Wang Chong looked at Zhou Bingyi's eyes, and said in surprise: "I'm curious, with your temperament, you can pull down your face and apologize to me?" ”

Although Wang Chong can't read minds, he can still see whether a person is sincere or not.

At least now Zhou Bingyi's apology is very sincere.

"The saints have said: Whoever has no fault, can change it, and it is very good!"

"We are both people who have lived half of our lives, and our parents are also old, so why should we affect the future because of some past events!"

"We are brothers, not enemies, we can say anything, if there is anything, we can also take it out and put it on the table, let's break it for him word by word, crumple it, and discuss it slowly, then what is not clear."

"Big brother!" Wang Chong stretched out his hand and shouted.

The four looked at each other, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Zhou Bingyi also stretched out his hand.

The two brothers shook hands across the tea table.

is also in this laugh, and the previous suspicion is released.

Calming down, the two brothers were still sitting facing each other, and Zhou Bingyi filled the teacups of the two of them with tea: "Now look back and think about it carefully!" will find out how wrong you were in the past. ”

Zhou Bingyi remembered Jin Yueji, who completely subverted his previous cognition, and his naïve and ridiculous thoughts at the beginning.

"Life in the world, just a few decades in a hurry, how can you always be immersed in the past, the past cannot be traced, but the future can be expected." Wang Chong has never been a person who is silent in the past, Zhou Bingyi can realize his mistakes and correct them, he can accept him.

Zhou Bingyi nodded, thinking deeply, and then looked at Wang Chong with emotion, and said, "Bingkun, thank you!" ”

"If it weren't for your words that woke me up, I'd probably still be racking my brains about how to prove myself to Dongmei's right now!"

Wang Chongdao: "Although I really want to take credit, but you can figure it out, it is mainly your own reasons, and it has nothing to do with me, if you deceive yourself and are unwilling to see the truth, then it is useless for me to wear out my mouth." ”

Zhou Bingyi shook his head, but there was a rather bright smile on his face.

Wang Chong said: "The eyes are long in front, which tells us that people are to look forward, and in good years, we are naturally based on the present and looking forward to the future, how can we be silent in the past, just let those unhappy past things go away with the wind!" ”

Zhou Bingyi looked at Wang Chong, who was quite high-spirited, and suddenly there was a lot of pride in his chest: "Okay!" Just let them all go with the wind! ”

"Let's base ourselves on the present and look forward to the future."

······
