211: The worst is nowhere to be
This New Year is the most neat and tidy in the past few years.
Although Zhou Zhigang's longing daughter and son-in-law have not returned, the smile on his face is real, and he has dreamed that the family can get together all these years.
Lu Ze and Zheng Juan took Zhou Wen and Guangming to the old house of Photon Film.
"Today is the first time our family has gathered together for the Chinese New Year."
"Dongmei, Zheng Juan."
"I, Zhou Zhigang, have to toast the two of you with the first glass of wine."
"Thank you for being a member of our Zhou family, and you will have to worry more about my two sons in the future."
"I'll do it first for respect."
Zhou Zhigang, who was sitting on the main seat, quickly got up, raised his wine glass in the direction of Hao Dongmei and Zheng Juan, and drank it all.
The two daughters-in-law naturally quickly followed and drank the wine in the small wine cup.
Under the rendering of the New Year's flavor, the atmosphere at home gradually became hot.
Lu Ze looked normal and ate the dishes.
Most of the big table in front of him was booked in advance from outside hotels, and a small part was made by Li Suhua.
Zhou Bingyi, the eldest son, sat next to Zhou Zhigang and raised his glass to his father and mother beside him, and he said happily: "Mom and Dad, I also have to toast you two elders with a glass of wine, I haven't done filial piety under your knees for so many years."
"I'm ashamed."
Listening to the words of the eldest brother Zhou Bingyi, Lu Ze couldn't help but laugh a little.
You don't have to be ashamed now.
There will be a time when you will feel guilty in the future.
In the original book of the world, Zhou Bingyi is definitely a good official who is praised by others, but he obviously cherishes the Zhou family too much, Zhou Bingkun bought a house and was driven away by the housing management office, he can stand up and help his younger brother get back the compensation he deserves.
But it's a pity that Zhou Bingyi hasn't provided even a little help to his family over the years.
At the beginning, the old leader of the publishing house took a train overnight to find Zhou Bingyi and discussed that he should treat his younger brother Zhou Bingkun's establishment position well, but Zhou Bingyi killed his relatives in righteousness, and even the old leader of the angry family turned around and left.
Even after Zhou Bingkun was imprisoned, Zheng Juan pushed a cart to sell popsicles.
Zhou Bingyi just looked at it like this.
Lu Ze doesn't have a good impression of this big brother, but he doesn't hate Zhou Rong as much.
It's best for everyone to come and go like water.
He is happy to pretend to be a good brother and son during the New Year's holidays.
Before, it was because Zhou Zhigang, the old father, had to pull it out, and Zhou Rong said about Feng Huacheng.
Lu Ze put the matter on the table and helped the old father analyze who was right and who was wrong, but unfortunately Zhou Zhigang couldn't listen to it.
"Good, good."
"Bingyi, then Dad will drink this cup with you."
"By the way, Dongmei, your parents should have also returned from the countryside, right? When will the second elder arrive? When the time comes, our whole family will visit our in-laws."
Zhou Zhigang happily drank another glass of wine.
At this time, he looked at Hao Dongmei beside his eldest son, and remembered what Bingyi said to him a few days ago.
"Not yet."
"It's still a while before my parents are reinstated, so I guess I won't see them this time."
Facing Hao Dongmei's explanation, Zhou Zhigang nodded slightly, expressing understanding.
Lu Ze was a little silent today, just putting vegetables in Zheng Guangming's bowl next to him, and teasing Zhou Wen who stared at a cute and big-eyed person in Zheng Juan's arms from time to time, he didn't toast like Zhou Bingyi.
Zhou Zhigang also chose to ignore his youngest son.
Li Suhua saw it in his eyes and sighed silently in his heart.
Father and son.
At the end of the meal, Zhou Zhigang looked at the bright moon outside the window and sighed, "I don't know when Rong'er will be able to come back."
......
Zhou Zhigang did not wait for Zhou Rong.
He waited for Feng Yue.
"Guo Cheng? Why are you here?"
"It's... Yueyue, right? Why did you bring Yueyue here?"
Zhou Zhigang's eyes widened.
In front of him was a young man in a green military uniform.
In the past, Zhou Zhigang took him for a period of time in the Chongqing factory, which was a master-apprentice relationship.
"Master Zhigang, didn't I send you a child?"
"Teacher Zhou Rong asked me to send Yueyue over, but fortunately you haven't gone back yet."
Zhou Zhigang hurriedly took over Feng Yue.
The little girl is about three years old, and her appearance is obviously with her mother Zhou Rong, who has been a beauty since she was a child.
Li Suhua anxiously asked Guo Cheng, "Young man, did our Zhou Rong say when she will come back?" Can't come back for something temporary? What the hell is going on?"
Guo Cheng then briefly mentioned what happened at the train station before.
Zhou Zhigang's face was full of disbelief.
This Feng Huacheng was so bold that he was in a hurry to do some lyrical poetry in such a sensitive place as the train station?
Li Suhua also covered her mouth in shock.
It's just that this time she didn't know that her daughter and son-in-law had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage after the accident as in the original book.
But Li Suhua still looked panicked.
At this moment, even by her husband's side, she felt a fluster.
At this time, Li Suhua's mind was the sudden face of his youngest son.
"Zhigang."
"Let's call Bingkun over and discuss."
"Bingyi has just walked on the front foot, but fortunately you are still at home."
Guo Cheng left in a hurry because he still needed to catch the train.
Zhou Zhigang accompanied Guo Cheng to the train station to pick up the things Zhou Rong brought back, and when he came back, he took a detour to Lu Ze's side, and Lu Ze, who had just finished dinner, was about to play with Zhou Wen for a while, when he heard a hurried knock on the door.
Zheng Juan frowned and wondered: "Husband, this seems to be... Dad's voice, right?"
After opening the door, what I saw was Zhou Zhigang's anxious face.
Only then did Lu Ze know that it was his niece Feng Yue who came, and Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng were still taken away without accident.
When I came to Photon Film, I saw that my old mother Li Suhua still looked like a dragon and a tiger.
Lu Ze put his mind at ease.
He didn't care about the life or death of his sister and brother-in-law.
As long as the old mother of the family does not have a cerebral hemorrhage, there is no problem.
Feng Yue had just finished eating the peach crisp left over from the New Year, and after changing her clothes, she was lying on the kang obediently, looking at Lu Ze, who had just entered the door.
Li Suhua pointed at Lu Ze, and said to her granddaughter, who had become familiar with her, "Yueyue, this is your uncle who just came in, called uncle."
The little girl was a little scared, but she still said hello.
"Uncle."
Lu Ze smiled at Feng Yue.
He took out a toffee with a stick from his pocket and handed it to the niece.
Zhou Zhigang pulled Lu Ze to sit down, and the man said in a deep voice: "Kun'er, you are now a cultural person, tell me, whether your brother-in-law's matter is serious or not, and where can the worst get to?"
Lu Ze waved his hand and said with a smile, "The worst? It's the worst of all."
