"By the way, Bingkun, haven't you been thinking about this coat that dad gave me for a long time? Here it is!" Zhou Bingyi said with a smile. He still takes good care of his brother.
"Give it to me? Is it true?" Zhou Bingkun pretended to be happy.
"Really."
"No, brother, what will you do if you give it to me?"
"My corps will still send out more."
"Okay, thank you, brother." Zhou Bingkun smiled.
While Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Bingyi were chatting together, Zhou Rong was washing pots and dishes. She is Zhou Bingkun's sister and Zhou Bingyi's sister.
In the TV series, Zhou Rong was born in 1950 and was 19 years old at this time. She is very beautiful. She is a well-known beauty in phototype films. She is also a top student and is remembered by many young people.
In another room, Li Suhua was packing the things Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi were leaving.
Li Suhua is the mother of Zhou Bingkun and his three siblings, and the wife of Zhou Zhigang.
She is a housewife, unemployed and illiterate. Like many Xia housewives, she is hardworking, capable, thrifty, etc., and has many excellent qualities. How should I put it, if they don't have such qualities, they will be eliminated by the fittest, haha.
When Zhou Zhigang was busy at work, Li Suhua was able to take good care of the family and educate her three children in a positive way. She was a great mother, amazing.
At this time, someone came outside.
"Fuck Kuner!" The visitor shouted, then opened the door and entered the house. Apparently she was very familiar with the Zhou family. She is Chunyan's mother. She has no name in either the original book or the TV series. Let’s give her a name here, Xue Fengmei. She is a street clerk, a shrewd middle-aged woman.
"Hey, Auntie!" Zhou Rong was cleaning up the stove at the door and happened to see Xue Fengmei coming in, so she responded.
"Rong'er, where is your mother?" Xue Fengmei came in and said with a smile.
"My mother is in the back room." Zhou Rong smiled.
"Aunt!" Zhou Bingyi greeted in the room.
"Hey." Xue Fengmei responded and continued to walk to the back room, "Kuner's motherfucker!"
"His aunt! Come on, come on, sit down, sit down." Li Suhua stood up and greeted.
"Busy?" Xue Fengmei walked into the back room and said with a smile.
"No, just pack their things for them to leave." Li Suhua said with a helpless smile. She was reluctant to let her husband and eldest son leave, but she had no choice but to let them go.
Zhou Rong poured water and brought it in for Xue Fengmei, then came out and continued to clean up.
Xue Fengmei came to talk about going to the countryside. Zhou Rong, Zhou Bingkun, and Zhou Bingyi all know it.
Zhou Bingkun did not move. In the TV series, Zhou Bingyi motioned Zhou Bingkun to go in and say hello to Xue Fengmei. After Zhou Bingkun went in, he made the fire in the iron stove a little brighter, and then heard about going to the countryside. Both he and Zhou Rong expressed their intention to go to the countryside. Their consciousness is very high. Unlike some families, brothers and sisters all want to stay in the city and none of them want to go to the countryside.
"Bingkun, Aunt Xue must be talking about going to the countryside. Come over and listen." Zhou Bingyi whispered. He just motioned Zhou Bingkun to go to the back room, but Zhou Bingkun didn't move. He thought Zhou Bingkun didn't understand what it meant.
"If you don't listen, I can just go to the countryside. There's nothing to worry about." Zhou Bingkun said casually.
"Bingkun, can you go to the countryside?" Zhou Bingyi was a little worried. Zhou Bingkun is the oldest child in the family, and everyone in the family takes good care of him. Usually, his brothers and sisters do everything at home, and Zhou Bingkun can just watch from the sidelines.
"Brother, don't worry, I'm already seventeen and grown up." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"Rong! Kun'er! Your aunts are here to mobilize people to go to the countryside. Come and listen." At this time, Li Suhua shouted. She was a little timid and did not take things seriously. When she heard that Xue Fengmei was here to mobilize people to go to the countryside, she was a little worried and scared. She was reluctant to let her children leave her side.
"Mom, if you don't want to listen anymore, I just need to go to the countryside!" Zhou Bingkun shouted. He still didn't move, he was flipping through Zhou Bingyi's book casually. He is no longer a young boy and can hold his breath. He didn't move on purpose. He wanted to slowly change his family's view of him.
"Mom, I'm going to the countryside!" Zhou Rong also shouted.
"Suhua, these two children of yours are really good. Children of other families are fighting not to go, but your family is fighting to go." Xue Fengmei said with a smile.
"It would be nice if I didn't have to go." Li Suhua said reluctantly.
"That can't be done. This is required by the state and must be implemented. You can only keep one of the three children in your family. Even if you don't leave, you won't have a job. If you just sit idle like that, won't you become useless? My three children Only the old girl Chunyan is left behind." Xue Fengmei said. She came to mobilize people to go to the countryside, so her family naturally had to fulfill the requirements of going to the countryside first.
Li Suhua was a little embarrassed. Zhou Bingyi wanted to leave, but she couldn't bear to leave. Now that Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingkun were about to leave, she was even more reluctant to let them go. She was very torn and didn't know who to let go.
"Fuck Kuner, tell me who to let go?" Xue Fengmei asked.
"Sister, if you stretch out these ten fingers, it won't hurt if you bite any one of them?" Li Suhua said.
"Then... I'll tell you my opinion. Go to Bingkun. It's safer for you," Xue Fengmei said. She was right. If a girl went to the countryside, something would probably happen.
"Auntie, Bingkun is still young, it's better for me to go." Zhou Rong said hurriedly. The reason why she wanted to go to the countryside was because she had someone she liked outside. She has to travel thousands of miles to pursue love. What she likes and loves is Feng Huacheng.
Feng Huacheng was a poet in the capital, but he was now in decline. He went to work in the countryside in Guizhou. That is the most painful and tiring place. In the original work, he is a 'hypocrite' and not a good person. In the TV series, he was beautified a bit.
"You are a girl, so let Bingkun go." Xue Fengmei shook her head. She knew better. A beautiful girl like Zhou Rong would be in trouble sooner or later after going to the countryside.
"Auntie, don't you also have two girls going to the countryside?" Zhou Rong said unhappily.
"That's different. My family can't help it, and I don't trust my two daughters, but they can't keep them and must leave." Xue Fengmei also said helplessly. Why is she so enthusiastic about doing these things? Is it because she wants to get some care and find a better way out for her children.
"Auntie, it's better for me to go to the countryside." Zhou Rong still insisted.
Zhou Bingyi patted Zhou Bingkun and signaled him to talk.
"Um, Zhou Rong, don't argue for now. Let's wait until dad comes back to decide." Zhou Bingkun shouted. He still sat still, knowing what was going to happen next, but wondering if something would happen.
"That's it, Rong'er, wait until your father comes back and we can discuss it together." Li Suhua said.
"Mom..." Zhou Rong wanted to say something else.
"I'm back." At this time, Zhou Zhigang came back from Dongsheng Photo Studio. He went to get a family photo. Their family took a family photo during the Chinese New Year. He is of medium height and somewhat stout, which is unusual in this era. He has a crew cut, his face is full of fatigue, and his appearance can vaguely tell that he used to be a handsome guy.
He is about to set off to participate in the construction of the third line. He is a skilled worker, an eighth-level worker, and an indispensable talent.
"Look, Cao Cao is here." Xue Fengmei stood up and said with a smile.
"Young, his aunt is here, sit down." Zhou Zhigang walked into the back room and greeted Xue Fengmei. He also knew what Xue Fengmei was here for.
"No, I have to leave. I have to mobilize other people. You guys, hurry up and discuss it again. Once you have results, sue me so that I can report to the director." Xue Fengmei said with a smile. She walked out while talking.
"I'll see you off." Li Suhua sent Xue Fengmei out.
Zhou Zhigang took off his scarf and gloves and sat on the edge of the kang.
He took out a family photo from his pocket.
"Did you get the group photo back?" Zhou Rong said with a smile.
"Well, I developed five pictures, one for each person. These are the negatives. Keep them at home and keep them." Zhou Zhigang sent the photos to his family.
At this time, Zhou Bingkun was already sitting on the edge of the Kang, sitting side by side with Zhou Zhigang, and he also took the photo.
Everyone is looking at the black and white group photos.
Zhou Zhigang sighed a little: "It's very possible, this is the last photo of our family." He and Zhou Bingyi are about to leave. They both only have family leave once every two years, and they may not be able to come back at the same time. Therefore, it is difficult to gather people together again.
"What did you say?" Li Suhua said a little unhappy. She felt that what Zhou Zhigang said was unlucky.
Zhou Zhigang looked at Li Suhua and said helplessly: "To be honest, doesn't our family have to leave another one? It will be harder to stay together in the future."
"His dad, if one more person leaves, who will he let go?" Li Suhua asked, wiping her tears.
"Alas" Zhou Zhigang sighed, stood up, and said after hesitation: "Bingkun." After saying this, he walked out feeling a little uncomfortable because he couldn't help but shed tears.
"Wait!" At this time, Zhou Bingkun called out to Zhou Zhigang. He's going to start causing trouble.
