Zhou Rong said Zhou Bingkun didn't show his face?
Feng Huacheng naturally couldn't figure it out. If he could figure it out, he wouldn't have been sent to the detention center because of a poem.
"That down jacket Yueyue is wearing is almost as much as your monthly salary, right?"
"Have it?"
Feng Huacheng is a poet and has no research on clothing prices. Basically, he wears whatever Zhou Rong buys for him, so he knows that down jackets are more expensive, but to what extent is not clear.
Zhou Rong touched the big ticket in her pocket: "And that red envelope, one hundred yuan. If you are poor, who would give such a big red envelope?"
One hundred dollars.
He had an idea of this because it was almost two months' salary.
"Zhou Rong, I think you are overthinking. The more inferior a person is, the more he will use money to show off himself in order to win the respect of others."
Feng Huacheng's words make sense, because if the third brother was rich, would Zhou Zhigang still say that he had no future, and would he still think that he was not doing his job properly by going to the south instead of asking his eldest brother to help him find a job?
But Zhou Rong always felt that something was a little wrong.
Shao Jingwen's attitude towards Zhou Bingkun, as well as the pile of things delivered to Zheng Juan's house by Party Secretary Ding of Wangcun, plus the meals Zheng Juan packed back the night before. If she read it correctly, one of the dishes was roasted sea cucumber with green onions. , not just ordinary sea cucumbers, plus Chinese cigarettes and lighters... If Zhou Bingkun wasn't showing off, would this be his daily consumption standard?
"Zhou Rong, you have to take good care of Yueyue..."
"ah?"
Zhou Rong woke up after hearing this.
"Look at her today, she took the initiative to ask for red envelopes. This... is so uneducated."
"Oh, got it."
She didn't take Feng Huacheng's words to heart at all, she was still thinking about Zhou Bingkun, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there were many doubts surrounding this younger brother.
He took Zhou Zhigang home before paying homage to him in the New Year because he didn't know what embarrassing things his youngest son would do. The key was not to get angry in public. There was no doubt that Zhou Bingkun would not give him face. It's time to rebuke, it's time to scold, and this needs to be seen by the neighbors. That guy who broke the pot and smashed the jar can't take other people's gossip seriously, but he can't after a lifetime of shame, so it's better to go home early to avoid embarrassment. .
Lin Yue and Zheng Juan rode their bicycles without entering the house, because Zheng Juan's blind brother was still there. They had a New Year's Eve dinner together at Lao Zhou's house last night, but New Year greetings were not important to them. On the bright side, it's better not to join in the fun.
Li Suhua asked him to bring some dumplings back, but he didn't ask for them. One meal on New Year's Eve and one on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. To be honest, eating dumplings twice in a row was a bit boring.
On the second day of junior high school, it was the day to return to her parents' home. Zheng Juan's mother had been dead for several years, so Lin Yue took Guangming to Jishan Hall. He went to the kitchen and cooked some vegetarian dishes, which was considered a feast for Zheng Juan and her parents. After the reunion dinner, Guangming returned to Beituo Temple that evening.
Lin Yue asked him if he wanted to go to the south together, but he declined.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, it’s the annual gathering of the Six Gentlemen of Guangzi Film.
Sun Qianchao notified Lin Yue to gather at Qiao Chunyan's house. Yueyue heard from someone that there was a temple fair on Chunhui Road and wanted to go there to play. Lin Yue had no choice but to drag her daughter-in-law away. I sent my son and two children to watch the temple fair, and then rode my bicycle to Minfeng Sixth Lane.
He left in 1978, and it has been three years in the blink of an eye. If he misses the dinner today, he will be like Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang. His friendship with Sun Qunchao and others is getting weaker and weaker. Considering the content of the side mission, he will naturally go Yes, let's get in touch with each other so that helping them in the future won't seem out of the ordinary.
At this moment, Sun Qianchao, Cao Debao, and Xiao Guoqing were sitting in the living room of Qiao Chunyan's house, and three women, Yu Hong, Qiao Chunyan, and Wu Qian were cooking in the kitchen.
"Do you think Bingkun will come?" Wu Qian asked and answered: "I'm guessing."
Yu Hong looked puzzled: "Why?"
Wu Qian said to Qiao Chunyan, who was holding a knife and scraping fish scales on the chopping board with the back of the knife: "Ask her."
Among these people, the one who has the closest relationship with Zhou Bingkun is none other than Qiao Chunyan. After all, she is his sister. But why is it not she who talks to Zhou Bingkun but Sun Qianchao?
The reason is very simple. It was Qiao Chunyan's mother who spread the news about Zhou Bingkun being expelled from Tsinghua University for fighting. However, this matter was also known to others. There was an unpleasant incident during the New Year greetings on the first day of the new year, and the two sisters of the Qiao family were kicked out. , go back and squeeze into the two and a half mud house with your parents.
If you want to ask how Aunt Qiao knew about this, others can't figure it out. They still can't figure it out. It must be Qiao Chunyan's talkativeness.
"Chun Yan'er, did you really say that?"
Qiao Chunyan didn't look back, but stopped moving her hands for a moment.
"Actually, it's not what I told my mother. At that time, we hadn't moved here yet, so we lived with my parents in those two and a half small adobe houses. You also know the situation of Cao Debao's family. Once we had a fight about his father, and the subject came to Bingkun's head. He yelled a few words, and somehow my mother heard him. Within two days, the entire Guangzi Film Company knew about it. ”
Yu Hong and Wu Qian looked at each other and understood.
Gu Tao, this Cao Debao, is not as capable as Chun Yaner on a daily basis, and he is also a door-to-door son-in-law. He always feels that he cannot hold his head high in front of Sun Qunchao and Xiao Guoqing. Previously, Zhou Bingkun asked Uncle Ding to repair the house for Sun Qunchao's family, and he was more or less I was a little envious and jealous. Later I found out that Bingkun had been dropped out of Tsinghua University. I must have thought that compared to Zhou Laosan, I was better than Zhou Laosan. At least I had a staff and was the workshop director of the soy sauce factory. I drank some wine to strengthen my courage. , being provoked by Qiao Chunyan, it was normal for her to reveal the matter.
Bang bang bang~
At this time there was a knock on the door outside.
Cao Debao sat motionless in the living room. Sun Qianchao pointed in the direction of the door: "Kun'er must be here. I'll open the door."
He went over and opened the door, and Lin Yue walked in carrying a box of pastries and two bottles of wine.
Chunyan tilted her head in the kitchen and pretended to be natural: "Brother Gan, come as soon as you say you will. What else do you bring?"
"The wine is for a while, and the pastries are for the children, not for you."
"You see, my brother is good at talking. Sit down quickly and wait a moment. I'll be fine here soon."
Lin Yue walked to the living room before Cao Debao stood up and asked him to sit down.
Xiao Guoqing pushed the plate of melon seeds in front of him: "Come, eat some melon seeds first to make you feel full."
What he said made Lin Yue happy: "National Day, what's wrong? Does this mean you think I'm late?"
"That's not a good idea." Xiao Guoqing pointed at Cao Debao: "Ask Debao." After that, he pointed at Sun Qianchao: "Ask Qianchao again, what did Chun Yan'er say just now?"
He imitated the woman's tone and said, "Just wait until my godbrother comes. It's so cold outside. What should I do if he gets cold?"
Sun Qianchao also joked beside him: "Speaking of Debao, is Chun Yan'er usually so considerate to you at home?"
Cao Debao said nothing with a sullen face.
Xiao Guoqing laughed loudly: "I have nothing to say. Did you see it? I'm sad."
Once upon a time, Cao Debao had a dream, that is, to marry a girl from a high-ranking cadre's family who was in trouble. As a result, he failed to marry the girl from the high-ranking cadre's family, so he ended up in Qiao Chunyan's bed. Then he became his son-in-law, and later became a low-level cadre. Husband, no matter what happens, Qiao Chunyan will compare him with this one or that one. If she thinks he has no ability, can she not be angry?
"Is she considerate? She has a guilty conscience."
Yes, it was his mother-in-law who told Zhou Bingkun that he was expelled from Tsinghua University, but the root cause was Qiao Chunyan. She had to keep her mouth shut. How could outsiders know?
"Cao Debao, what are you talking about?"
Qiao Chunyan came out with a white porcelain plate, which contained spiced quail eggs, freshly poured from the can, with juice still hanging on them.
The conversation between the four people in the living room was interrupted by her and was not continued.
Soon, the three women cooked the vegetables and brought them to the table. They were nothing more than some home-cooked dishes, such as Chef's cabbage, spicy and sour potato shreds, braised pork ribs with pickled vegetables, braised hairtail fish and so on.
Lin Yue didn't mention Aunt Qiao's gossiping behind her back, nor did Qiao Chunyan or Cao Debao. Qiao Chunyan didn't ask about driving Qiao Chunyan's two sisters back, and Lin Yue pretended not to know. In short, they had a tacit understanding. The earth only speaks New Year's words.
This couple is a thieves, Xiao Guoqing is so honest. After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, his face will turn red and he will talk a lot.
"Bingkun, what do you think of Zheng Juan's house in Taiping Hutong? Just give it to Da Xiong and Er Xiong?"
Lin Yue said: "I have my plan, so don't worry about it, okay?"
Xiao Guoqing stopped talking.
He just asked kindly, and Wu Qian answered later: "You are still worried about Bingkun, why don't you worry about the bad things in your own family?"
Xiao Guoqing's face darkened: "What did you say?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Wu Qian patted the single bed in the living room, stood up and said, "You all know what's going on in their family. I've been looking forward to it until his two sisters who returned to the city get married. I didn't expect that his eldest brother-in-law had cancer again. Not to mention that he had spent all the family's money and was still alive. The eldest brother-in-law's work unit was even worse. As soon as he left, the house was taken over by his eldest sister's work unit. What can we do if we are not allocated a room? We can only take the children back to our parents’ home. His eldest sister’s family of three, our family of three, plus his parents, there are a total of eight people, eight people, crowded into two small adobe rooms. The room is as big as a palm, and relatives can’t wipe their feet when they come during the Chinese New Year. Is that called a home? Is it called a home? In my opinion, it’s not even as good as a shelter.”
These words made Cao Debao bow his head and remain silent. You must know that their family was crowded into a small house of 15 square meters. When relatives came, his parents had to entertain guests in the corridor. This is why he went to Qiao's family to be his son-in-law.
Lin Yue had a faint sneer on his lips.
Because when Wu Qian said these words, her eyes swept over his face several times. It was not a casual sweep, but a sweep with deep meaning.
Yes, it is undeniable that she meant to vent her words by saying this, but more importantly, she deliberately told him.
