Time flies like electricity.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ze and Zheng Juan have been married for six years.

In 1976, the land of China was quietly changing.

The Zhou family has also changed a lot.

Li Suhua moved to the city to live with Lu Ze in the fourth year of his youngest son's marriage, because Zheng Juan gave birth to a big fat boy to the family, and Li Suhua came here to help them take care of the child.

The child's name was Zhou Wen.

Mrs. Zheng passed away in the winter of '73, and Zheng Juan cried very sadly.

But fortunately, Mrs. Zheng belonged to the end of her life, and the old man left in his sleep, and there was no pain when he left.

The brother-in-law, Zheng Guangming, also moved over, and the three rooms in the small courtyard of Lu Ze's house were all settled.

Now my home is very lively every day.

After Mrs. Zheng died, Zheng Guangming, who moved over, originally told Zheng Juan in private that he wanted to go to the mountains to become a monk, but Zheng Juan mentioned it to her husband, but Lu Ze directly refused after knowing about it.

According to Zheng Guangming, his mother once took him to Beituo Temple in the mountains, where the master said that he had Huigen and asked him to go there to learn things when he grew up.

But Lu Ze knew that this was just Zheng Guangming's rhetoric.

Zheng Guangming became a monk in the original book, completely because he didn't want to drag down his sister, and wanted Zheng Juan to marry into the Zhou family alone.

Although the eyes cannot see, there is a bright light in the bright heart.

The mind of light is very delicate and mature.

What he values most is his sister Zheng Juan, and now, after the death of his mother, he doesn't want to be a drag on his sister.

Lu Ze had a heartfelt conversation with Zheng Guangming.

He patted his brother-in-law's head and said softly: "How easy it is to become a monk, brother-in-law can't let you go to live a free life, you still have to come to the house to help take care of your nephew, Xiaowen has been shouting to play with his uncle these days." ”

"Also, about treating your eyes."

At this time, Zheng Guangming was already a tall boy.

He listened to his brother-in-law's words, and his godless eyes were full of longing: "Brother-in-law, I... Can you really see it? ”

Lu Ze replied with a smile: "Of course." ”

"At present, the level of medical care in China may not meet the requirements, and we have to go abroad for treatment."

Zheng Guangming's face sank instantly, and he smiled bitterly: "Then I guess it's enough to choke on you, brother-in-law." ”

Lu Ze looked up at the clear and cloudless blue sky, and said to himself in his heart: "The college entrance examination will be resumed next year, and the unstoppable reform and opening up will follow, how can you not witness such a magnificent era." ”

He spoke, "Don't worry, light. ”

"That day, it won't be long."

Pacify the light.

Lu Ze thought about the news that Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi were going back for the Chinese New Year this year.

He shook his head.

Lu Ze didn't want to set his sights on the Zhou family's chicken feathers.

He will do his filial piety, but his idea is to live his life with his wife and children.

At this time, Li Suhua came to Lu Ze with Xiao Zhou Wen, who had just passed his second birthday, and a trace of rich tenderness flashed on his face, and he took advantage of the situation to hug Xiao Zhou Wen, who had a fleshy face, into his arms.

After Zhou Wen saw his father, a sweet smile appeared on the child's face, saliva stuck to the side of his mouth, and Lu Ze gently wiped it.

"Daddy~"

"Alas~"

Lu Ze was playing with his son.

Xiao Zhouwen seems to have inherited all the bits and pieces of him and Zheng Juan, and he has been clever and lively since he was a child.

A few years have passed, and the skin on Li Suhua's face has become more saggy.

But luckily, the man is still tough.

In the past few years, Li Suhua, who has stayed here and happily taken care of the children, has really enjoyed the joy of family, and he doesn't have to think about anything, just focus on taking the children at home.

Every night, Guangming will also help her massage and rub her shoulders, which is not comfortable.

But alas, such days seem to be about to be broken soon.

"Your father and your brother's letter said that they can go home for the New Year this year, oops, who would have thought that these two people would be so many years after they left, I originally thought that I could come back for a New Year in two or three years, but I didn't think that it would take six or seven years to blink an eye."

"When you got married, you still had my old mother sitting on the main seat."

"When your eldest brother married Dongmei in the Corps, he didn't have any relatives around him, so Dongmei's parents should be reinstated, right?"

"The two of us will have to meet this year."

Li Suhua was already a little old lady with her own ideas.

Lu Ze's influence on this old mother is imperceptibly, and some things in him will unconsciously affect the people around him, because Lu Ze still has modern ideas in his bones.

"Kun'er, I've cleaned the house inside and out in the past two days."

"After your father and your brother come back, you still have to go back to live in Photon Film, Wenwen has to worry more about you and Zheng Juan during this time, this Zheng Juan has been busy all day since she became the deputy director of the textile factory."

With the help of Lu Ze, Zheng Juan entered the city textile factory to work.

Over the years, with her own hard work and Lu Ze's little strength behind the scenes, Zheng Juan not only got the official establishment in the textile factory, but also was elected deputy director of the production department at the end of this year.

Lu Ze said indifferently:

"It's okay, I'll just take care of the kids at home."

"During this time, our magazine doesn't have anything important, and I want to take a leave of absence to rest."

Hearing Lu Ze's words, Li Suhua glared at him and gently slapped Lu Ze's arm.

"The above asked you to be the vice president of the Golden Land Magazine, and you even resigned several times."

"When I get up early these days to go grocery shopping, I heard that your magazine is currently very famous in the country, tell me how much credit you have paid in it, why should you go back when you pick peaches?"

"Isn't it stupid?!"

Lu Ze smiled dumbly.

If it was before, Li Suhua would definitely not say such a thing.

The old lady now has a little bit of some consciousness in politics and the workplace.

Lu Ze did not explain.

Because he was in the magazine just to overdo it.

Now he has both fame and fortune, but the upper limit of the cultural industry in this era is so high, Lu Ze can't tell Li Suhua that the college entrance examination will resume next year, and then your son still wants to take his daughter-in-law and children to enjoy college life, right?

Zheng Juan hadn't come home from work yet, and Lu Ze waited at home for the arrival of Sun Catch-up and Yu Hong.

These friends of Photonic Tablets have become a family one after another.

Qiao Chunyan eventually married Cao Debao; Xiao Guoqing married his cousin Wu Qian, who worked in a state-run hotel; In front of them, Sun Catch-up and Yu Hong are undoubtedly the most silent couple among these people.

The silent person also has the most thoughts.

"Catch up, why are you here?"

"Did you come to see me on purpose?"

Lu Ze smiled and poured a cup of hot tea for the two in front of him.

After Li Suhua said hello to them, he walked to the back room with Wenwen in his arms.

On the chair, Sun Catch-up held two hands on his lap, he was a little hesitant in the face of Lu Ze's questioning, and Yu Hong, who was beside him, finally said his thoughts, the couple originally wanted to borrow a house.

The lumber mill closed down in the second half of this year, and both Sun and Xiao Guoqing were forced to lay off, and the life of the two families became more and more difficult.

It's just that Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian haven't opened their mouths yet, but Yu Hong's family came first.

"Brother Bingkun, I know you are a good person with Catch-up."

"The two of us really have no choice, at the end of the year, the brothers and sisters who have caught up will come back."

"We really can't live so many people in our house, brother, look..."

Lu Ze smiled and knew the intention of the two.

He said directly: "That's too unfortunate, my eldest brother and my dad are going home for the New Year this year, and they will have to live in the house of Photon Sheet at that time, so there is really no way." ”

Yu Hong's eyes turned quickly: "That's not... Is there still Zheng Juan's house in Taiping Hutong? ”

Lu Ze raised his head and glanced at Yu Hong.

I remembered the plot about Yu Hong's house in the world.

When these two miserable people can become a kind of capital, the people in this world seem to become pitiful.

"That house has nothing to do with me."

"It has nothing to do with our family Zheng Juan, after my mother-in-law died, the house naturally belonged to Guangming."

"Zheng Guangming, you must have seen my brother-in-law."

Than miserable?

Who of you can have a miserable light in our family!

Lu Ze quietly expressed his refusal.

If it is really difficult to catch up with the family, then Lu Ze does not need to say much, he will naturally help.

But he didn't have a good impression of catching up with this daughter-in-law Yu Hong.

In the original book, Yu Hong opened her mouth to ask Zheng Juan for a house, which seemed to be out of helplessness, but in fact it was not, it was impossible for Yu Hong not to know what the hearts of Zheng Juan and Zhou Bingkun were like, and this woman's step-by-step pressure did not consider the oppression of Zheng Juan at all.

Zheng Juan said that the house had no property rights and could not be transferred, so she forced Zheng Juan to go to the street to ask.

Later, he began to call Zheng Juan one after another to remind him, and he didn't feel any guilt in his heart.

It's very reassuring.

Qiao Chunyan's sentence of scolding Yu Hong sounds quite appropriate now: In these years, whoever is weak is reasonable.

In the living room, Yu Hong heard Lu Ze mention Zheng Guangming, and the expression on her face instantly became extremely ugly.

Naturally, he knew the meaning of Lu Ze's words.

I saw the woman get up quickly, regardless of the obstruction of her husband next to her, and directly pushed the door and left.

Sun Catch-up showed an extremely embarrassed look on his face, and hurriedly said apologetically to Lu Ze: "Kun'er, I'm sorry, this Yu Hong has been pestering me to come to you these days, and I've caused you trouble." ”

"Actually, it's okay for us to be a little crammed in the house."

Lu Ze gently patted the small haired shoulder: "Catch up, I'll help you pay attention to your work a little." ”

Sun Catch-up hurriedly got up, and the man's voice suddenly became louder: "Really? ”

Lu Ze smiled and nodded.

He is such a character, very stubborn.

If you are really in trouble, needless to say, I will try my best to help, after all, everyone has a small one.

But if you deliberately sell me miserably, and even come to Daode to kidnap me?

I'm sorry about that.

I'll just be happy to see how you look when you're unlucky.

Soon after, Zheng Juan came home from work.

At this time, Zheng Juan had completely faded away from the immaturity and youthfulness on her previous body, and the temperament of a young woman was highlighted, she took off her coat to show her exquisite figure, and the woman said casually: "Husband, when I came back just now, I met two people on the road." ”

"Ah, they just left our house."

Zheng Juan picked up the teacup and took a sip of water: "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Ze told Zheng Juan about the matter simply.

After listening, Zheng Juan said silently: "Huh? I just said that she had a cold face when she talked to Yu Hong just now. ”

"If you use light as a shield, people must be angry."

Lu Ze held his daughter-in-law in his arms and sniffed lightly.

He buried his head in the three thousand black silks and said softly: "What does that have to do with me, your house originally belonged to the light, if Yu Hong is embarrassed to speak to the light, then I really have to admire her cheekiness and give a thumbs up silently." ”

"I think it's pleasing to the eye, help him find a similar job, just be able to Hukou."

"I took it out this year, so do I have to lend it every year after that? Do you have to go on vacation during the holidays? ”

"Saving the emergency is not saving the poor, daughter-in-law."

Zheng Juan had a knowing smile on her face.

After so many years of marriage, she found that her husband's temperament had not changed at all, and it was exactly the same as before.

Well...

I just love her more than before.

"Got it."

"It's up to you to do everything at home."

Lu Ze was tired for a while, and told Zheng Juan about Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi coming back soon.

Zheng Juan showed a trace of nervousness on her face, although she is now a small leader in the textile factory, and she has become more mature and bright under Lu Ze's training over the years, but after all, she is about to face that stern father-in-law.

She knew from her mother-in-law Li Suhua what kind of character her father-in-law Zhou Zhigang was.

"Husband."

"You say... What is my father-in-law's attitude towards me? ”

Zheng Juan held her husband's arm, and the little bird leaned on Lu Ze's shoulder.

Zhou Zhigang's upright face appeared in Lu Ze's mind: "What kind of attitude should be what kind of attitude it is, anyway, after he comes back, he will live in Photon Film, we can't see him if we have nothing to do, just live our own lives." ”

Zheng Juan nodded silently.

She knew in her heart that her husband was often educated by her father-in-law in the past, and the relationship between father and son was not very good.

But in fact, Lu Ze really felt that the relationship with Zhou Zhigang was not tight.

Because he didn't regard Zhou Zhigang as his father at all, how could he have so many twisted attitudes.

Get along with each other as you should.

Filial piety should be done.

Even if it is to make Li Suhua, who is playing with his son Zhou Wen in the back room, happy, Lu Ze is willing to pretend to be a good son, but the premise is naturally that Zhou Zhigang should not go too far, and then engage in that kind of paternalism, he will not cooperate.

"Don't think about it so much."

"Go back to your room tonight, and I have to continue to teach you to learn."

Hearing the word learning, Zheng Juan immediately pursed her mouth, and she said pitifully: "Woo woo, can you let me rest for a few days?" For most of the year, in addition to working and studying, I have to check your homework regularly. ”

Lu Ze smiled and pinched her nose: "Be good, live to learn." ”

Zheng Juan closed her eyes and nodded her fair face.

"Trojan~!"

......

Jichun City Railway Station is very lively.

The New Year is approaching, people from all over the country have embarked on the way home, Lu Ze took Li Suhua to the station early to wait, Zheng Juan also specially asked for leave today, holding Zhou Wen who was tightly wrapped in the square outside the station.

Lu Ze sat on the steps very ungracefully, and behind him was Zheng Guangming's brother-in-law giving him a massage.

Over the years, Zheng Guangming has accumulated two skills, one is the extremely skilled harmonica skills, and the other is this hand massage technique.

It is said that it was taught to him by Mrs. Zheng in the past, and later after Zheng Guangming moved to Lu Ze's house, he gave Li Suhua a lot of massages, and Li Suhua slept very sweetly after the massage every night.

"Yes, yes, bright."

"Recently, you have been good at your technique, both strength and skill."

"With this method, at least in the future, I will definitely not worry about finding a daughter-in-law."

Li Suhua's eyes looked anxiously in the direction of the exit of the station, and when he heard these words, he glanced at Lu Ze angrily.

"Go, go, what do you say in front of your children?"

"Bingkun, I'll see your dad later, you can't be like this hanger, you are still a celebrity in Jichun City."

Lu Ze was wearing a coat today, wearing a plush felt hat made by his daughter-in-law herself, and a scarf woven by an old mother around his neck, wrapping himself tightly, just to avoid being recognized.

As Li Suhua said, Lu Ze has now become a representative of the cultural circles of Jichun City and even Jiangliao Province.

Everyone knows that Jiang Liao has a Zhou Bingkun.

Zheng Juan studied under the supervision of Lu Ze, she originally thought that it was to match her husband's current status and improve herself at the same time.

In fact, Lu Ze asked Zheng Juan to prepare for the resumption of the college entrance examination next year.

After waiting for about half an hour in the cold wind outside the station, I finally saw Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei coming out, and the two people walking in front of them were Zhou's father Zhou Zhigang.

Today, the father and son returned to Jichun City at the same time, which can only be said to be fate.

Li Suhua's eyes instantly turned red, and she waved to her husband and son not far away.

Zhou Bingyi, who was tall and wearing a military coat, could vaguely see the temperament of the year between his eyebrows, and saw the man patting his father's back excitedly, and said in an excited voice: "Dad, it's Mom!" ”

Zhou Zhigang looks a lot darker than he did seven years ago.

His eyes were firmly fixed on his wife not far away, and his voice choked: "Su Hua." ”

Over the years, the family of Photon Tablets has been run by his wife alone.

I don't know how tired and hard she is.

Li Suhua took her husband's arm and looked at Zhou Zhigang's old face, she couldn't hold back her tears, looking at Bingyi and Hao Dongmei who were following behind her husband, she wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Bingyi, Dongmei, you're back." ”

"Mom, we're back!"

Zhou Zhigang's eyes were on Lu Ze's body.

Then he quickly looked at Zheng Juan who was standing next to him, Zhou Zhigang's eyes were locked on Zhou Wen in her arms, his eyes revealed a hint of love, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "This kid... It's Xiaowen, right? ”

Zheng Juan smiled at her father-in-law, and then she was about to hand Zhou Wen in her hand to Zhou Zhigang, the grandfather, to hug.

Zhou Zhigang hurriedly put the luggage in his hand on the ground, quickly wiped his hand on the clothes, and gently took the child.

Zhou Wen, who was wrapped in a small quilt, grinned, and the child's smiling appearance touched Zhou Zhigang.

Zheng Juan said softly beside her: "Xiaowen, do you remember how your mother taught you before?" Who are you here to pick up today? ”

Zhou Wen replied in a milky voice: "Pick up... Grandpa and uncle! ”

Zhou Zhigang laughed.

"Zheng Juan, right? This was our first meeting. ”

"I'm sorry for your mother's death, I haven't seen my own mother for so many years, don't worry, Zhou Bingkun, this kid will definitely treat you well, if he doesn't treat you well, I..."

Lu Ze was too lazy to quarrel with Zhou Zhigang.

The old father, who met for the first time, did not hold a stand.

Without Zhou Rong's involvement, Zhou Zhigang still looks like a good elder.

Lu Ze pulled up his felt hat, his scarf loosened slightly, he came to the front of his eldest brother Zhou Bingyi, and opened his arms to him with a smile.

"Big brother."

"Welcome home."

The two brothers hugged each other heavily.

Behind, Hao Dongmei looked at Zheng Juan not far away and the child in her arms, and a trace of darkness flashed in the woman's eyes.

"Bingkun, you are a real man of the year now."

"When I was in the Corps, I heard people talk about your name as a great writer and poet, and people asked me at that time, saying Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Bingkun, this can't be two brothers, right? Hahahaha, big brother is very proud of you. ”

At this time, Zhou Bingyi is not the Zhou Bingyi who cherishes feathers incomparably.

Lu Ze smiled and talked to the eldest brother almost, looking at Hao Dongmei behind him, he nodded and said hello.

"Okay, okay, it's so cold outside, Xiaowen can't stay too long."

"Let's go back to Bingkun first, and then go back to Photonics' home after dinner."

Li Suhua pushed the family away with a smile on his face.

She is very happy to see that the family is finally together, and the only fly in the ointment may be that her daughter Zhou Rong is not there.

If only Rong'er could be there!

......

"The house at home is good, why do you have to move here?"

"Is there a panic to burn?"

Zhou Zhigang, who came to the house, looked at such a large-scale small courtyard house, he looked at Lu Ze with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes, in his opinion, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as his own kennel, and his youngest son is afraid that he will not want to enjoy happiness after he becomes famous.

For this, Zhou Zhigang's guess was accurate.

What Lu Ze was thinking about in his heart was indeed happiness, and the house in the photon film now looked like a kennel.

Li Suhua, who was next to her, gently patted her husband's arm: "Where can so many people live in that small family, and the house in the city is indeed more convenient for everything, isn't this for me, child?" ”

Hao Dongmei on the other side was hugging Zhou Wen, with an indescribable look on her face.

Envy, love, self-blame, sadness...

Lu Ze noticed the expression on the sister-in-law's face and knew that she was distressed because she couldn't get pregnant with her eldest brother.

In the world, Hao Dongmei can't have children because she once fell into the well when she went to the well to fetch water during the queue, and the personal hygiene and environmental sanitation conditions in that era were relatively poor, there were no shower conditions, and various germs in the water were easy to invade.

Eventually, it became the current infertility situation.

After eating, Zhou Zhigang called Lu Ze to the courtyard.

"Bingkun, let me ask you something."

"Did you write an article about your brother-in-law before?"

Lu Ze had a strange expression.

"You don't mean Feng Huacheng that labor prisoner, right?"
