"Hey, in-laws, your family's life is pretty good. It's even richer than the Chinese New Year." Hao Jinlong entered the room and saw the dishes on the two tables above and below the kang. He turned to Zhou Zhigang, who was grinning from ear to ear. : "If you do this, I'm embarrassed to eat it. It's too expensive."
Wang Yan could clearly see that although he didn't show it, he was a little unhappy. This is normal, it is still very difficult now, of course Hao Jinlong knows. Nowadays, 99% of the people in the country cannot compare to such a table of dishes. There is no doubt that the cadres of this era, especially those like Hao Jinlong who came from 25,000 miles away, are still aware of serving the country and the people. I just felt it was too extravagant, and furthermore, I felt that the old Zhou family was clinging to it.
"It doesn't cost anything. This is why our family has come back recently. It's hard to get together. I don't know when we can get together again after this time passes. Now our family celebrates the New Year every day." Zhou Zhigang said with a smile: "But today There are still two more dishes than usual. The in-laws are here, and whether they want to eat or not, we have to prepare them. Sit down, sit down, let’s sit down and talk, sit down and talk.”
He didn't feel the meaning behind Hao's words, but there was indeed nothing wrong with what he said. The food has been really good in the past few days. There is a lot of fish and meat in the sky, but there really isn't much because of Hao Jinlong's arrival. There are only two dishes specially made after asking Hao Dongmei to know what they like to eat, and the others are all from daily life these days. Tickets haven't been abolished yet, Wang Yan has plenty of them, and the money is not bad. Moreover, Zhou Bingkun was willing to spend money just to make his parents happy. Li Suhua gave all the bankbooks at home to Zheng Juan and asked her to take care of them these days and not be afraid of spending money.
"Okay, everyone, sit down, everyone, sit down." Hao Jinlong sat down with Zhou Zhigang, and then everyone sat down around the table.
Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji came with their secretary and driver. Of course, they couldn't let them go hungry. With the warm greetings of Lao Zhou's family and Hao Jinlong's approval, Chen Jing, Zheng Juan, Zhou Rong, and Zheng sat on the kang. The table where Guangming and his children ate.
As soon as he sat down, Hao Jinlong looked around at the people at the same table, then at the women and children on the kang, and said with a smile: "From what I can see, there are quite a lot of people. In-laws, your house is really lively." ah."
Zhou Zhigang laughed: "Hey, I was dizzy when I saw this big family when I came back. I didn't expect that after nine years, this family has tripled in size."
Hao Jinlong nodded and said, "It's good to have more people. It's popular and the family is strong."
Jin Yueji, who was sitting next to him, also nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's not like our family. We are the only ones who celebrate the holidays, so it's deserted. In the future, we will have more interactions, so we can enjoy the excitement."
Zhou Zhigang subconsciously wanted to say something about having more contact, but he rolled it around his mouth and swallowed it back. After all, it was good that he could come and see her, so there was no need for more contact. Li Suhua sat on the side and laughed. She was afraid that she would say the wrong thing.
Zhou Bingyi's words rang out at the right time: "Mom and Dad, let's not just sit around and talk. Let's move quickly and talk while eating."
"Yes, yes, eat and eat." Zhou Zhigang said with a smile: "My in-laws, you should eat more. My youngest son's wife is really good at cooking. Um...two bites?"
Secretary Huang, who was sitting by the kang, said quickly: "Uncle Zhou, the senior official is not in good health. The doctor said he is not allowed to drink alcohol." He is the work secretary, but he is also the life secretary. He is the person inside and outside Hao Jinlong's house. Handled with one hand. Regardless of whether Hao Jinlong wanted to drink or not, he had to say this. Drinking it is Hao Jinlong giving face to his in-laws and flattering them. If you don’t drink, you won’t be able to fault your health.
Hao Jinlong waved his hand: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way. It's okay to drink less. Besides, this is the first time we've met. I can't explain this good day without having a few sips, haha..."
"In-laws, please don't be careless. You are the parents of Jiang Liao. Your body is not your own. It belongs to all the people of Jiang Liao, and even more to the country." Zhou Zhigang said something seriously, then laughed. Hehehe looked at Wang Yan who was drinking with him, and said to Hao Jinlong: "My dear, we have a doctor at home, just ask him to take a look at you. If he says you can drink it, then you should drink less. He wants If you say no, then just don’t touch a bite, we don’t need that either. What do you say, in-laws?"
"Okay, I've heard about him a long time ago. People say that he is the number one miracle doctor in the Northeast. He has cured many difficult and complicated diseases, which is quite impressive. When we were in Gan Province, my mother-in-law asked The recipe Bingyi gave us is so useful, Dongmei’s mother and I are still drinking it, thank you.”
"Yes, thank you Wang Yan, and thank you also, otherwise our old Hao's body would not be like this." Jin Yueji's thanks were mainly directed to Wang Yan, and her thanks obviously had a deeper meaning. It was because of Hao Dongmei's infertility, which Hao Jinlong didn't know yet.
She knew something about Wang Yan. After all, her daughter had to be investigated clearly when she was going to be treated, so she knew Wang Yan fairly well and knew that he was a smart man and understood what she meant.
Zhou Zhigang waved his hand: "It is the right thing for a family not to talk to each other. People are all sick when they get old, so you must pay attention. Xiaoyan, you give it to Dongmei's father, and by the way, you give it to Dongmei. Mom, take a look and give them a prescription to treat them."
Wang Yan nodded, stood up and walked around the table to Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji, asking them to breathe steadily, casually grabbing their arms to feel their pulses, asking for physical feedback, etc.
After some consultation, Wang Yan nodded and said, "Their health is actually not bad, but they both have high blood pressure, Dongmei's father still has a little asthma, and there are other minor problems, but it's not a big problem. Drinking is nothing. Two or three ounces is fine, and drinking a little occasionally is good for your health. You guys eat first, and I’ll give you two prescriptions.”
"Okay, with you as a great doctor, everyone can rest assured." Hao Jinlong said, "Then drink two taels."
Zhou Zhigang called to his old son who kept grinning: "Bingkun, what are you doing standing still? Pour some wine."
"Hey, okay." Zhou Bingkun responded, quickly took the wine, opened it, poured wine for Hao Jinlong, Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Bingyi, Feng Huacheng, Wang Yan, and finally himself. At this time, Jin Yueji, Li Suhua and others also poured drinks.
"My in-laws, I respect you. Bingyi and Dongmei have been married for so many years and we just met each other. It's not our fault." Hao Jinlong raised his wine glass and spoke very beautifully.
Zhou Zhigang was so happy: "No need to say that, we are all real relatives. What happened to you a few years ago, and now you are so busy, it would be nice to have time to come over, I understand. Come, let's have a drink."
Hao Jinlong took a sip, and Zhou Zhigang drank half the glass...
After Wang Yan wrote two prescriptions, he handed them to Secretary Huang who was eating a big meal. After explaining a few words, he sat back at the dining table and ate and drank in peace.
He didn't overwhelm the guests, and there was no need for him to liven up the atmosphere at the dinner table, so he just sat there eating and drinking in silence, and didn't speak unless asked.
Of course it's not just him, almost everyone else is like this too. Although Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji had kind smiles on their faces, everyone present knew their identities and did not dare to talk nonsense. A dinner for family members to meet has basically become a people-friendly activity at the grassroots level under the leadership.
Talk to Zhou Zhigang about the third-line construction and briefly talk about the current situation in Jiangliao. Praise Li Suhua for raising her children well and they all have a bright future. Praise Zhou Bingkun for taking good care of his family and allowing others to go to school and work without worries. He praised Feng Huacheng as a good poet and should shoulder more of the important task of building a humanistic spirit in the country. He praised Wang Yan for his superb medical skills and saving countless lives. Praise Zheng Juan for her delicious cooking and being a good wife and mother.
Praising Zhou Rong as an independent woman in the new era, with culture and personality. Praise Chen Jing for being gentle, beautiful and a good wife. Praising Zheng Guangming for his good opportunity, he should study hard and bring light to more people. Compliment a bunch of kids on how good-looking they are, and they should study hard and build the motherland.
In addition, listening to Zhou Bingkun and others talk about the situation of the optical film, the meal was finished.
At the door of Zhou's house, Hao Jinlong held Zhou Zhigang's hand, which was shaking a little: "In-laws, thank you for your hospitality. I'm sorry to disturb you."
Zhou Zhigang, whose face was glowing, waved his hands: "This is what you should do. You walk slowly and be careful about your health. Bingkun, you lead the way on your bike and send them out."
After a few more pleasantries, Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji got into the car. The driver started the car and left with Zhou Bingkun who was riding a bicycle in front.
Watching them walk away, Zhou Zhigang let out his signature cheer: "Bingyi, Dongmei, you two should go too. It's so late and it's hard to go back."
Zhou Bingyi said worriedly: "Dad, you drank so much, are you okay?"
Zhou Zhigang waved his hand: "I'm just a little lost, just go to bed. Besides, Xiao Yan is here, he didn't say anything, what can happen?"
"I know you're happy. It's okay once in a while, but you can't drink like this in the future, uncle. If you take a sip, your kaka is half a glass. You can still stand now because you have a good drinking capacity."
Zhou Zhigang drank more than a kilogram of wine, and his in-laws, who are also officials, came today. They were happy and in good condition, otherwise this old boy would have been lying there long ago.
"Xiaoyan, I'm telling you, I'm not bragging. I think I could drink two kilograms of wine when I was young. If you don't believe me, ask your aunt. She knows that my husband even drank under the table."
"This old guy can't handle himself after drinking too much. Hurry up and go back to the house." Li Suhua patted his wife angrily and said, "Bingyi, you and Dongmei should leave quickly. You don't have to work with us anymore."
"Okay, Mom, please keep an eye on my dad. He is old and drinks so much. Don't fall again when you wake up at night. Then Dongmei and I will leave first."
"Let's go, let's go, you don't need to drink too much. Slow down and ride hard." Li Suhua ordered, turned around and followed a group of people into the house, and saw his wife already lying on the kang, squinting: "Bingyi And talking about night, can you still get up like this?"
Zhou Rong, who was quickly clearing the bowls with Zheng Juan, smiled and said, "Dad is also happy."
"Your dad has wanted to meet them for a long time, but he has never mentioned it. How can he not be happy if an official as big as Dongmei's parents can come to our house to sit for a while? Just watch, we will be at home tomorrow Someone is here, and when the time comes, this old guy will be grinning."
After all, it was the person next to him who understood. Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "That's so normal. Auntie, don't just talk about my uncle. I don't believe you don't smile."
Li Suhua chuckled: "Oh, can you stop laughing? He is a human being, and he likes to hear good things. Don't you look at the people outside wandering back and forth while eating? It will be lively tomorrow. Don't be busy, let Juan'er and the others Clean it up. You haven't had enough to drink, so hurry up and take Jing'er home. You have to go to work tomorrow morning, so you can't delay others' medical treatment."
"It's the same as leaving after packing up. It won't take more than a while."
…
Back at home in the provincial party committee compound, Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji sat on the sofa to rest. They nodded to Secretary Huang who had told the nanny to prepare medicine tomorrow and then left. Jin Yueji smiled and looked at the sofa next to her with her eyes closed. Hao Jinlong was resting his head: "Old Hao, what do you think of our in-laws' family?"
"I think it's pretty good, it's all real."
"Well, I think it's pretty good. The whole family is quite simple."
"Lao Jin, their family's conditions are good, much better than I imagined."
"There are talented people in the family. Wang Yan's medical skills are not fake. In terms of the habits of our people, it is understandable to be richer." Jin Yueji nodded with a smile, hesitated, and continued: "Old Hao Ah, actually Wang Yan treated Dongmei."
"What disease are you looking for?"
"Infertility."
Hao Jinlong opened his eyes and sat upright: "What's going on? Is it cured?"
"Back when Dongmei went to the countryside..." Jin Yueji spoke slowly and spoke eloquently: "Dongmei told me before that if it couldn't be cured, Bingyi told our in-laws that it was his fault. This is Wang Yan took action. When Dongmei came back to college the following year, she was treated for three months. She went to the hospital for a checkup and said there was no problem. Your attitude towards Bingyi has been a bit bad these past two days. I have been holding on tight. He said, they are both working hard. Dongmei is not young anymore, and the more she goes on, the more dangerous she will be. You have to be considerate, and it is not easy to uphold justice. "
She saw that her wife had a good opinion of the old Zhou family, so she took this opportunity to tell the whole story about her daughter, so that her wife could treat her son-in-law better. She had always known that Hao Dongmei had always been in trouble. But they are also embarrassed because they are afraid of getting involved. This time I met the old Zhou family and found that it was not as expected, and since they had Wang Yan, little trouble would never find them. And Wang Yan's silence at the dinner table also showed his attitude, so that's okay. Although the door lintel is indeed different, otherwise she would have gone to meet her in-laws long ago, so why bother today.
It's just that it's reached this point. Now that I've had some contact with it and found that it's okay, I'll just accept it. What else can I do if I don't accept it?
Hao Jinlong let out a long breath, stood up on his knees, said "I got it", and left with his hands behind his back.
Jin Yueji sighed, took a book and started reading...
The next day, Li Suhua was right. After breakfast, Lao Zhou's house became lively. People from the neighborhood came over to inquire about the situation and try to make friends. Of course they know that it was difficult to find Wang Yan in the past, let alone the current high-ranking officials. It's just that they can't help but go to socialize, after all, it will help in case of emergency.
Zhou Zhigang grinned from ear to ear, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart. This is just vanity. His son married a girl from a high official, and they even came to their home, which was a poor place to live in. But he couldn't even find a second home, so he was so proud. He would accept flattery and flattery, and if he didn't force anyone to come over to ask for something, he would just say, "Get out." Just listening to the free compliments, I happily drank too much in the evening and was scolded by Li Suhua.
Zhou Bingyi was even happier that his biological father was so happy. After all, he was proud of him. And after meeting his in-laws this time, he felt that the atmosphere was much better and more harmonious as he stayed at his father-in-law's house. He was extremely grateful to Hao Dongmei for his understanding. Of course, the way to repay him was to step on the accelerator and work harder for the next generation.
As for the other people, it doesn't matter. It's still the same, they just do whatever they need to do. It was Zhou Bingkun who felt a little unhappy when he saw him happily feeding his own father. After all, they are all children, and he also wants his parents to be proud of him.
On Wednesday, Zhou Zhigang left his hometown with a smile and boarded the train heading south to continue to contribute to the construction of the motherland. This trip home was a complete success. Although there was some sadness about parting, in his past life, this was the norm. Reunion was accidental, and of course he had to smile.
Also on this day, Cai Xiaoguang came to visit Lao Zhou's house with some specialties from the capital. He is a good person and came to thank Zhou Bingkun for helping him and maintaining such a relationship.
It turned out that Cai Xiaoguang met Zhou Bingyi and others at the station when they were leaving. It can be seen that Zhou Bingyi and the others did not stay at home for many days at all. So here we have to talk about Zhou Rong. She just came back and left a few tears in front of Li Suhua who was paralyzed on the kang. Then she turned away and happily took Feng Yue out to enjoy family time...
On Sunday, Zhou Bingyi, Chen Jing, and of course Feng Yue, who shouldn't have left, also got on the train and left for the capital. Feng Yue still didn't want to leave, crying so heartbreakingly. Zhou Rong couldn't bear it and once wanted to keep her daughter, but Feng Huacheng forced her to take her on the train.
Feng Yue's departure caused unrest in the family. Friends who had been playing together for several years left, including Zhou Jianhua, Zhou Jianbang, and Wang Jianye, and the three brothers gathered together to make trouble.
Children don’t understand separation, and their world can’t hold much. Their sadness only lasted for two days, and then they had to eat and drink. Although they mentioned it occasionally, the frequency of mentioning it was destined to become less and less. Until they finally grew up and met each other again, they were speechless.
Ranwen
They may remember the laughter and laughter of their childhood, but when they meet again, they will find that the other person is no longer the snot-nosed girl, the crybaby, the follower, or the same person. Perhaps it was also at that time that they had a sense of time for the first time, and understood what it means to "grow up" for the first time.
The same is true. The original Zhou Nan is now Zhou Jianhua, and the bad things that happened with Feng Yue are gone. After all, we didn’t get along day and night since childhood, so there was so much time in between. They will have other friends and different experiences, and they will really care about each other when they see each other again.
Of course, the children were not the only ones sad. Li Suhua, who was used to separation, was also unhappy. A home that was originally crowded with people suddenly became empty, and I don’t know when it will be crowded again next time. Even though she was used to it, she still needed to slow down.
They all left, and Wang Yan took his children to live in Lao Zhou's house again. They had hot meals every day and didn't have to worry about anything. It was good. The main problem is the child. He is only four years old now, and he still doesn't like to stay in the hospital with him. After all, there is a younger Zhou Jianbang playing with him in Lao Zhou's house, and there are other children in Guangzipian who have company. He didn't bother to pick her up at night, so he simply stayed over to save trouble.
On this day, after a dinner of hand-rolled noodles with eggplant and meat sauce, Wang Yan held a cigarette in his mouth and two buckets in one hand as usual, and wandered out the door with Zhou Bingkun, who was carrying a trash can beside him.
"Brother, didn't you say before that after the happy reunion, it would be time for me to get rich?"
"Didn't I say there were risks later? Why, you've been thinking about it for several months and figured it out? Are you not afraid anymore?"
"Afraid, how can you not be afraid?" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile: "But brother, I know you can't lie to me, let alone harm me. I believe you. For so many years, you have never been wrong about what you say. And this time I You saw Dad doing that, and I also wanted to do something to make him happy."
"That's embarrassing. After all, you are just on the sidelines. To be honest, it is illegal. It's strange that your father can be happy with his temper. It's not like you don't know about your dad, you have old ideas."
"Didn't you say that the country will definitely change, and if you let me do it again, it means that the future will be bright. Brother, can you think of a way to keep the staff of my soy sauce factory, I don't want money. Just in case there is no After finishing it, there seems to be a way out. Originally, I could go to Old Mrs. Qu to handle this matter, and she would be able to handle it with just one sentence. But that old lady’s temper is so stubborn that if I don’t tell her something, she won’t. Help me. Then I have to be honest, she will have to send me in if she can’t fix it.”
"Well, that's right. She has a quick mind and can do research, and she thinks quite comprehensively." Wang Yan nodded: "As for keeping the staff and keeping the job without pay, I can do it, but she is the old secretary of the soy sauce factory. Don't you think so? Now, she just hangs around when she has nothing to do. As a savior, how can she not pay attention to you? You still can't run away."
"How about fixing it?"
"What else can I do? I'll do it for you first. If she asks you in the future, just say that I asked you to do it, and then tell her what I told you again. She is a senior cadre, Ma Shouchang is still a member of the provincial party committee. If there are any signs, others will know first. She is right to accept death, but at a certain time and in a certain way, she must also understand, how else can she become an official? In terms of flexibility, others are better than others. You are strong. If you can't make sense, just ask her to come to me, and I will just have a chat with her then."
"Okay, brother, when should I start doing it?"
"I'll tell you how to do it later. I'll take care of your suspension of work tomorrow and get you a letter of introduction. You can go directly the day after tomorrow."
"Then what should my mother do?"
"Have you done too little lake work in recent years?" Wang Yan slapped him in the face: "Of course I was on a business trip..."
