After all, Zhou Bingyi couldn't help but beg Wang Zhong and Jin Yueji to reconcile. He could no longer act like an eldest brother in front of Wang Zhong. After dinner, he could only go back to Hao's house in despair.
The fact that Wang Zhong was able to talk to Zhou Bingyi pleasantly and invite him to dinner was all because of Li Suhua's face. If Zhou Bingyi still doesn't know how to advance or retreat and pushes too far, then I'm sorry, and no one's face is of any use.
As for Jin Yueji, Wang Zhong felt sick when he thought of this person, and a cold light flashed subconsciously in his eyes.
"Still thinking about what happened today?" Seeing that Wang Zhong looked wrong, Zheng Juan opened the quilt and got into bed, then leaned into Wang Zhong's arms and asked softly.
"Huh!" Wang Zhong exhaled a breath and turned to look at Zheng Juan, "Mom keeps giving me winks today. I won't ask him to eat with us, causing us trouble."
"He is your eldest brother after all!" Although Zheng Juan felt uncomfortable in her heart, she did not want Wang Zhong and Zhou Bingyi to completely turn against each other.
"Mom is also doing it for your own good and wants you to speak out."
"Brother?" Wang Zhong was a little disdainful: "There are some estrangements, once they are born, they will be difficult to erase. They can't be explained in one or two sentences. From the day he and his family took advantage of our children, the relationship between him and me has The brotherhood between them was broken."
Zheng Juan'e frowned slightly. She really didn't expect that Wang Zhong kept remembering: "Didn't Big Brother already apologize to us? They were also confused for a while."
Although Zheng Juan was influenced by Wang Zhong, her kind nature remained the same.
Wang Zhong held Zheng Juan's hand a little harder and said with emotion: "If an apology is useful, then why should the law be used?"
Looking at the resolute Wang Zhong, Zheng Juan's words of persuasion came to her lips, but they all turned into a helpless sigh.
Wang Zhong continued: "And there are two cases of this kind of thing. What if they bring it up again in the future? What if after dad retires and comes back, he will also side with them?"
Wang Zhong's series of questions made Zheng Juan feel confused, but she still had a glimmer of hope: "Although Dad has a bad temper, he's not that unreasonable, right?"
Wang Zhong shook his head and sighed, "My silly wife."
"With how partial Lao Zhou is, there's nothing he can't do. Besides, if we adopt the child to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, we're not giving it to an outsider. Otherwise, he will still be his grandson and call him grandpa."
Lao Zhou's partiality was not only disappointing, but also made Wang Zhong almost despair of him.
Even the original body, which had long since disappeared, was quite complaining about Zhou Zhigang's favoritism.
"Then what if dad really sides with them and has to let us adopt a child for them?" Zheng Juan was anxious. She had the greatest goodwill towards the world, but her children were one of her bottom lines.
Before I knew it, my eyes were filled with tears.
Zhou Zhigang, my husband's father, the head of the old Zhou family, is domineering and domineering. Once upon a time, he had absolute say in the old Zhou family.
If it were just mother and daughter Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, Zheng Juan could still say no to them firmly and resolutely, but for Zhou Zhigang, that was a big mountain.
Wang Zhong quickly hugged Zheng Juan tightly and comforted him softly: "Don't cry, don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can take the child away from us, not to mention Zhou Zhigang, even the King of Heaven is here. Same thing."
"This is not a feudal society. If we don't agree, how can they put a knife to our necks and force us to do it?"
"Why!"
Seeing Zheng Juan's reaction, Wang Zhong regretted what he just said.
But now that the matter has come to this, he can only do his best to comfort her.
Tonight is another sleepless night for Zheng Juan.
Wang Zhong hugged Zheng Juan and seemed to be able to feel his wife's sadness in his arms.
Why!
But he secretly made up his mind, if Zhou Zhigang was really like this, then he wouldn't have to estimate anything. The only thing that would be great would be to cut off the relationship and stay away from each other forever.
To be honest, Wang Zhong really had no feelings for Zhou Zhigang. When Wang Zhong came into this world, Zhou Zhigang had been away from home all year round and only came home to visit relatives once every three years.
A night of silence.
The next day, Wu Shangyi called and said that several office locations had been selected. She and her two colleagues had looked at them one by one. They found that they were the most suitable ones among the places they had seen so far. The final decision was left to Wang Zhong. .
Wang Zhong chose the two three-story Soviet-style buildings closest to his home. There were no high-rise buildings in Jichun this time, and this type of small building was the most common.
Wang Zhong's courtyard house is extremely rare even in urban areas.
Saturday arrived soon. Early in the morning, Zhou Cong was still having a sweet dream in his bed when he was suddenly woken up by Wang Zhong.
"What time is it still? Get up quickly!" Seeing his father's serious face, Wang Zhong was a little surprised by Zhou Cong's reaction. He was so angry when he got up that he didn't stay in bed at all. Get out of bed, get dressed and put on shoes.
Among the five children in the family, except for the youngest Little Tail, Wang Zhong called out to them one by one.
Ten minutes later, in the courtyard, Wang Zhong stood with his hands behind his back. The four children also imitated Wang Zhong's example, standing in a row with their hands behind their backs, heads held high and chests held high.
"stand at attention."
"Take a break."
"Report the count."
Wang Zhong looked like an instructor.
Zhou Cong: "1"
Feng Yue: "2"
Zhou Ming: "3"
Zhou Ling: "4"
"Report, there should be four people in the martial arts squad, but there are actually four people. The report is completed, please give instructions."
Wang Zhong nodded slightly, glanced at the four people with his tiger eyes, and said sternly: "Return to the team!"
"yes!"
Zhou Cong is young, but he is a military fan. He has been playing around Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen since he was a child. Among other things, he learned a lot of military training skills from Ma Shouchang. Zheng Juan said that he started in 1982 , Ma Shouchang often took this boy to the shooting range, and Wang Zhong didn't even get this kind of treatment.
Once this kid saw Ma Shouchang's guard practicing boxing and kicking, and he pestered him to learn it. In the end, Ma Shouchang asked the guard to teach him a set of military boxing.
Tell this kid that if he can keep running and exercising every day, rain or shine, in a few days, he will teach him something more powerful.
Unexpectedly, just such a word to coax a child would be taken seriously by this kid, and he would apply all the theories he learned from Ma Shouchang to his younger siblings and nearby playmates of the same age.
What happened this morning was that this kid wanted to show off in front of Wang Zhong.
"Not bad! It looks good." Wang Zhong was not stingy in praising the child, and the child did really well.
"But don't be proud and keep working hard."
After taking the children for morning exercise and washing, the children had breakfast with Li Suhua, while Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan hurried to the market early to buy fish and meat, and even trimmed a five-pound rooster.
After a while, Sun Qianchao, Xiao Guoqing, and Qiao Chunyan all came to Wang Chong's house with their families.
As usual, the women were busy working in the kitchen, and the men were talking and chatting in the living room. The courtyard door had been closed long ago to prevent the children from running away.
Chatting about family affairs, listening to them talk about the gossip about light-text films, how the public security is getting worse and worse, there are more and more people without jobs, and they can only wander on the streets all day long.
Men, naturally, will not just say trivial things, but go further and further as they speak.
"Bingkun, I heard that Chunyan said you are not going to leave this time?" As he spoke, the topic turned to Wang Zhong. Sun Qunchao and Xiao Guoqing were very curious. They are now considered senior members of the construction team. Master, people's living standards have gradually improved in recent years, they have taken on more jobs, and earned more and more every month.
"I'm not leaving." After hearing Wang Zhong's affirmative answer, both of them were very happy.
"By the way, our company has bought a few rooms to use as office buildings. They need to be renovated. The project is not big, but time is tight. If you two are free, you can hire a few more skilled craftsmen to do this job. I picked it up."
"Decorating an office building?" Xiao Guoqing's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Okay! Let's go take a look first at some time."
Sun caught up and asked, "Should we contract the labor and materials or just the labor?"
Yanran looked like a contractor.
Wang Zhongdao: "We contract the work and materials, but our company will produce the design ourselves, and you guys can just follow it."
"Let's make a deal first. If you cut corners or cut corners for me, I won't pay you!" Wang Zhong joked.
The two of them repeatedly assured: "That's impossible! What we do is all real work, and there is no cutting corners."
Wang Zhong said: "Of course I can trust you two, but I have to keep an eye on the others."
"Don't worry! I'll take care of it." The two of them patted their chests and assured Wang Zhong.
······
A lively lunch passed with laughter.
After dinner, they cooked for a while and everyone was about to leave. Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan sent them out. When they were saying goodbye, Wang Zhong stopped Qiao Chunyan.
"It was inconvenient because there were so many people just now. Have you considered what I told you last time?" Wang Zhong said.
"I thought you were joking!" Qiao Chunyan said with a grin.
Wang Zhong said: "Who are you kidding? I'm serious. Of course, if you think it's okay to do it in a public bath, then I have nothing to say."
If this had happened before, when Qiao Chunyan was still a cadre, Wang Zhong would never have said this. Although he was only a small director, he was also a serious grassroots cadre who was responsible for the country's job.
But public bathhouses are now contracted by private individuals. Although Qiao Chunyan is sent by the public and the owner of the bathhouse will give her some respect, Qiao Chunyan has no right to interfere in the operation and management of the bathhouse.
Even if she wanted to intervene, the owner of the bathhouse would have to be willing.
Now, unlike before, the private manager and the public manager work together, and the public manager can still secretly outdo the private manager.
Wang Zhongdao: "Let me tell you this, our branch in Jichun has not officially opened because the company address has not yet been completed. During this period, we mainly focus on inspections."
"Furthermore, our branch has just been established and is in urgent need of talents. When the company develops in the future, it will be another matter."
Hearing this, Qiao Chunyan lowered her head, the smile on her face faded, her eyes were deep and tangled, and she said, "Brother! This matter is too big, can you allow me to think about it for a while."
"Give me an answer before the renovation is over! When the renovation is over, the company will be officially listed for operation. If you haven't decided by then, then I will have to find someone else."
Qiao Chunyan grinned and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely give you an answer."
······
Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao are still looking at houses recently, and they can only live in Qiao Chunyan's parents' house for the time being, huddled together with their son and the old couple.
For Qiao Chunyan, who previously lived in a building assigned by her work unit, the gap was too big.
Especially when the whole family is crowded on the same bed, even if the couple wants to do something private, they still have to worry about Qiao Chunyan's parents next to them, which is really inconvenient.
Cao Debao can be shameless, but Qiao Chunyan is a shameless person.
For several days, the couple ran out as soon as they got off work to look for a suitable house, planning to rent it temporarily.
As for the old house of the old Zhou family in Guangzipian, when the old Zhou family split up, Wang Zhong had already given up the inheritance rights of the old house, and because of this matter, Wang Zhong and Zhou Bingyi even had a fight. The news that Wang Zhong, his wife and children did not want a house or their parents' money, and left the family home was widely spread in Guangzhou.
People had been discussing it for a long time at that time. Of course, most of them privately said that Wang Zhong was not the one. After all, the common thought among people at this time was that anyone who went against their parents could be considered a treasonous person.
For someone like Zhou Rong, who had to sever ties with her family for the sake of a man, the old Zhou family did not tell the outside world. They only said that Zhou Rong went to Guizhou Province to support education. Otherwise, Zhou Rong's backbone would be broken.
And with Zhou Rong's temperament, she couldn't bear those rumors.
It took me almost ten days to find a suitable place. The reason why it was suitable was not because the house was big or the location was good, but because the price was not expensive.
After renting the house and cleaning it, the couple immediately moved out with their son.
A month later, the decoration of the office building is coming to an end. It is just a simple decoration. The water and electricity are reorganized according to the design drawings. The tables and cabinets are all newly made. The walls are scraped with white ash, and the floors are covered with ceramic tiles. Decorate with flower baskets and the like, which look simple and clean without losing the sense of design.
Within a month, Wu Shangyi was not idle. He rented the private house next to the company and used it as a temporary office space. He expanded the staff and various equipment. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner under Wu Shangyi's arrangement.
Qiao Chunyan approached Wang Zhong.
"Have you decided?" Wang Zhong asked, looking at Qiao Chunyan who couldn't hide the dejection on her face.
Qiao Chunyan nodded and said, "It's decided."
"Are you willing?"
Qiao Chunyan's face was full of helplessness: "So what if I don't want to give up? Do I really want to stay in a public bath for the rest of my life?"
After being assigned to a public bath for more than a month, Qiao Chunyan finally figured it out. She had wasted half her life in a public bath for such a small salary, so she might as well work with Wang Chong.
In addition, there are also some reasons. Wang Zhong bought land and built a house, and it was such a big house. There were five children in the family, and they all had no shortage of new clothes and pocket money. They were not short of those big leaders. The children are no worse than each other and live a prosperous life.
Looking at Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing, they were both feeders at the lumber factory, Yu Hong was a pedicure worker, and Wu Qian didn't even have a job at first.
But now, Sun Ganchao gritted his teeth and bought out his seniority, joined the construction team, and built a new house within two years. Although he borrowed some money from Wang Zhong, he paid it off in the past two years. Not only that, At that time, kitchens, bathrooms and toilets were built. Yu Hong and Wu Qian were introduced by Wang Zhong and entered Jishan Hall. Although they were just waiters and had no establishment, they had a lot of income and lived a very comfortable life.
Especially when I recently heard from Yu Hong that she and Sun Ganchao planned to have another child while they were still young.
Thinking of this, Qiao Chunyan's eyes showed determination.
Wang Zhong smiled slightly: "Okay! You will definitely not regret today's decision in the future."
