Zhou Cong looked at Jin Yueji, who was speaking eloquently and almost bursting into tears. His heart was still calm and untouched, as if he was watching a sensational soap opera.
On the contrary, Feng Yue next to her seemed to be infected by Jin Yueji's emotions and was quite moved. Tears shone in her eyes at some point.
Seeing this, Zhou Cong sighed, shook his head slightly helplessly, and said in his heart: "Women just have too much love."
"It seems I misunderstood!" Zhou Cong's calm face showed no change. He stood up and bowed to Jin Yueji, and said in a sincere tone: "I am here to say sorry to you."
"Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry!"
Zhou Bingyi was still quite angry, but seeing Zhou Cong bowing and apologizing, even though he was angry, he couldn't express it.
"You! This temperament is really carved out of the same mold as your father." Zhou Bingyi shook his head and said sincerely.
If you think about it carefully, Wang Zhong seems to be like this too.
Hao Dongmei also sighed, but seeing Zhou Cong bowing and apologizing, she also laughed out of anger in her heart, but Zhou Cong's words just now really made them sad.
Zhou Cong was still magnanimous, his eyes were calm, his expression showed no change, and he sat back again.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, don't mention it anymore. Let's end it here." A strange light flashed in Jin Yueji's eyes, and there was still a bit of sigh on her face, and there was still a bit of sadness between her eyebrows.
The private room suddenly became quiet. Zhou Bingyi and the other three lost their appetites after such an early morning. They all put down their chopsticks and wiped the grease from the corners of their mouths.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside the box, and not long after, Zhou Zhigang walked in holding his clean little tail, followed by Zhou Ming.
"What's going on?" Zhou Zhigang asked worriedly when he saw Jin Yueji's expression was not right.
"It's nothing. Don't worry, father-in-law. I just looked at the children and thought of Dongmei's father!" Jin Yueji said: "Actually, Dongmei has two older brothers, but they were separated from us during the Anti-Japanese War. Old Hao and I I have been looking for it for many years, but there has been no news..."
As she spoke, her emotions rose again. Jin Yueji looked sad, her tone was full of emotion, and she couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Zhigang and others knew about the situation of the Hao family, but Zhou Cong and Feng Yue did not know about it. But now that Jin Yueji said this, everyone was very emotional. Only Zhou Cong felt a lot of vigilance in his heart.
"It's been so many years, mother-in-law, don't think too much about it." What Zhou Zhigang said was not comforting at all.
"Mom! Don't be too sad." Jin Yueji also aroused the pain in Hao Dongmei's heart. After her father passed away, her two brothers seemed to have disappeared from the world. No one was seen when they were alive, and no bodies were seen after death.
Jin Yueji held Hao Dongmei's hand, with tears in her eyes and sobbing: "My poor daughter!"
Watching this scene, Zhou Zhigang's heart sank, remembering the fact that Hao Dongmei was infertile, and the smile on his face disappeared.
There are so many experts in Yanjing, so many large hospitals like Xiehe, and many advanced technologies at home and abroad have been consulted. Even in vitro fertilization, which is popular abroad, Hao Dongmei also went to learn about it. Unfortunately, in her situation , but there is still no way.
"The matter has come to an end, mother-in-law, don't be too sad." Zhou Zhigang sighed with a sigh.
Women are inherently emotional, and this was a sad thing for both mother and daughter. After a while, Hao Dongmei also burst into tears.
Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi tried to persuade each other, but after saying a few words, they cried even harder.
Seeing the scene of mother and daughter hugging each other and crying, Feng Yue also had tears in her eyes. She was obviously moved by this scene.
Zhou Cong could only helplessly shake his head as he looked at it, while raising his vigilance level to the highest level in his heart.
Li Suhua also arrived late with Zhou Ling. When she saw Hao Dongmei and her daughter hugging each other and sobbing, they were both concerned and angry: "What's going on, why are you almost crying?"
Zhou Bingyi glanced at Zhou Cong and said, "My mother-in-law just remembered some sad past events, and Dongmei also... ugh!" He sighed.
"It's okay for a few kids to be ignorant. You two grown men don't know how to persuade them." Li Suhua immediately complained about Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi, father and son, and hurriedly walked to Jin Yueji and Hao Dongmei, saying softly Be comforted.
After struggling for a while, the mother and daughter recovered their emotions.
"I'm sorry, I lost control of my emotions when I remembered the past, which made my father-in-law and mother-in-law laugh." Jin Yueji wiped away her tears and said with an apology.
As for the adoption, Jin Yueji didn't mention a word, and she didn't dare to mention it.
The look of Zhou Cong just now was very much like that of Wang Zhong, who had been fighting against her back then, especially his calm eyes, which made Jin Yueji's heart tremble.
Although she really wanted Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei to adopt the little tail, she remembered Zhou Cong's indifference and indifference when he spoke just now, and she did not dare to reveal the little thoughts in her heart.
It wasn't that she was afraid of offending Zhou Cong and the others, nor was she afraid of offending Wang Zhong's family, but Jin Yueji knew her daughter's temperament and what kind of person she was.
If it was really because of herself that the two Zhou brothers completely turned against each other and never interacted with each other, Hao Dongmei would definitely be extremely disappointed with Jin Yueji as her mother.
······
But on the other side, at the train station, Zhou Rong, who had been on the train for nearly twenty hours, finally returned to Jichun from Yanjing.
The handover of work at Feng Huacheng Library took time, and Jichun University was about to start school. After Zhou Rong completed the formalities and completed the process, she hurried back to Jichun.
Carrying her luggage, Zhou Rong thought about going back to the optical film first, settling down temporarily, at least putting her luggage away for a while, and then reporting to Jichun University in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, I thought about the optical film, but I was told by the neighbors that my parents and daughter had moved to Wang Zhong's house a long time ago.
After Zhou Rong heard this, her mind went blank for a moment, and then all kinds of complex emotions came to her mind. Her expression changed continuously. She squeezed out a forced smile, thanked the neighbors, went home and took a look, and the door was blocked. It's locked, Zhou Rong doesn't have the key.
She had no choice but to leave her luggage at a neighbor's house for the time being and went to the canteen to make a call. However, no one answered the phone for a long time, so Zhou Rong could only run to Wang Zhong's house to look for her.
Unexpectedly, she thought of Wang Zhong's house and found that the door was locked from the outside. It was obvious that no one was home. Zhou Rong was angry. She had just returned from Yanjing and there was no time for the two of them to sit down and rest. After all the tossing and going back and forth, the key point is that we haven’t figured out what to do yet.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he immediately blamed Wang Zhong for everything. Wang Zhong, who was far away in Xiangjiang, had no idea that he was being blamed again.
With no other choice, Zhou Rong had no choice but to call Cai Xiaoguang.
"Ouch, why do you have time to call me when you are so busy?" On the phone, Cai Xiaoguang still had the same playful smile as before.
"I'm back in Jichun." Zhou Rong went straight to the point without being verbose.
"Has the matter in Yanjing been settled so quickly?" Of all the people, the one who knows Zhou Rong's whereabouts best is undoubtedly Cai Xiaoguang.
"It's done, but now my parents are not at home. I don't know where they went. The door is locked and I can't get in."
"Will it be at Bingkun's place?"
"I just went to his house and saw that the door was locked and no one was home."
"It shouldn't be! Even if Bingkun and Zheng Juan are not here, your parents must be here, right? No matter what, Yueyue and the other children must be at home, right?" Cai Xiaoguang couldn't believe it.
Zhou Rong said: "That's what I said, but now none of them are here."
"I understand. Where are you now? I'll come find you."
"I am here······"
Not long after, a car stopped in front of Zhou Rong, the driver's door was opened, and Cai Xiaoguang, wearing sunglasses, walked out of the car, walked to Zhou Rong, and took off his sunglasses.
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" Cai Xiaoguang asked with a smile.
Zhou Rong looked at Cai Xiaoguang, who looked like a dog, and then at the car in front of her. She was a little unconvinced and asked doubtfully: "Your car?"
"I just bought it. How do you like it? Try it out?" Cai Xiaoguang walked to the passenger side, opened the door, bowed and held out his hand, and said: "Please!"
Zhou Rong got into the cab very elegantly with her bag in hand.
Cai Xiaoguang smiled and closed the car door, quickly got in the car and drove towards Jishan Hall.
In the car, the two of them were talking.
"Let me tell you, the main reason is that your call came too suddenly. Otherwise, we should really go to Juan'er's private restaurant."
"Why can't you go now?" Zhou Rong had no interest in anything about Wang Zhong and Wang Zhong's family, and had never learned about it from Li Suhua and the others.
"They only cook seven tables a day, no matter how many, and they only take orders for seven tables. In the past two years, I could order them on the same day. But now if I want to go, I have to call three days in advance to make a reservation. The business is always booming. .”
"you've been to?"
"I went there a few times when I was soliciting investment, but the price was so expensive that most people couldn't afford it." Cai Xiaoguang has been doing well in the past few years. He is a well-known director and often entertains investors at Zheng Juan's private restaurant. .
"..."
"You can't leave yet, or I'll get off the car!" Zhou Rong frowned, and Cai Xiaoguang immediately begged for mercy.
"Let's go, let's go. This is walking."
After many years, even though the two have now formed their own families, Cai Xiaoguang is still manipulated by Zhou Rong.
Jishantang is located in one of the most crowded areas in Jichun. It is not far from Wang Chong's home and only takes seven or eight minutes by car.
The car stopped on the side of the road. Cai Xiaoguang quickly ran to the passenger side and opened the door for Zhou Rong, just like a young driver driving for a strong woman.
As soon as the two entered the door, they met Li Suhua's group who had just come down from the box.
"Zhou Rong?"
"Xiao Rong?"
"Mom, dad? Brother? Sister-in-law? Yueyue? Why are you here?"
"Uncle, aunt, Bingyi, sister-in-law!" Cai Xiaoguang also greeted them with a smile.
The sudden encounter was a bit beyond the expectations of both parties, but in the eyes of the Zhou family, Cai Xiaoguang was no stranger, especially Li Suhua, who almost regarded Cai Xiaoguang as half a son.
Yueyue called her mother and hid in the crowd.
"This is your sister-in-law's mother. Our two elders were planning to meet each other. It's troublesome to cook at home, so we just came here to eat." Zhou Zhigang hurriedly introduced the two parties.
Zhou Rong had never met Jin Yueji, so she didn't know her, but seeing Hao Dongmei holding her hand and looking intimate, she had actually guessed her identity.
"Hello, aunt, I'm Zhou Rong." Zhou Rong stretched out her hand to Jin Yueji.
Jin Yueji smiled and shook hands with Zhou Rong, looking very happy: "I have always heard Bingyi and Dongmei talking about you. You are a talented girl from the Zhou family and a top student at Yan University. Now you are a doctor, right?"
Zhou Rong said with a smile: "Make Auntie laugh."
"Are you back? Have you finished your work?" Seeing his daughter, Zhou Zhigang became even more happy, feeling that good things were coming one after another today.
First, I fulfilled my long-cherished wish and met Hao Dongmei's mother. We had dinner together and sat down to talk a lot. Just as I was about to go back, I ran into my daughter again at the door.
"I just arrived in the morning, and Yanjing has already taken care of it."
"Where's Huacheng?" Zhou Zhigang looked behind the two of them, but couldn't find Feng Huacheng at all.
"He has just resigned, and it will take a while to hand over the job. We can't just give up and leave!" Zhou Rong explained.
Li Suhua also stood up and said: "You said you are the same. You have a right arm and a leg. When you came back, you bothered Xiaoguang to pick you up. Xiaoguang also has to work."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Why didn't you tell me when you moved to Bingkun's place? I ran home and couldn't even get in. No one answered my phone. When I ran over, the door was locked. , my legs almost broke."
Zhou Rong said somewhat complaining.
Li Suhua was stunned for a moment, obviously forgetting that there was this problem, and a little embarrassed: "Mom, I was so busy that I forgot about it!"
"Okay, okay, don't stand in the way of other people's business," Zhou Zhigang said.
Then he said to Jin Yueji: "My mother-in-law, you are recovering from illness and your body has just recovered. It is better to go back and rest early."
Jin Yueji smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, father-in-law, I will go back first."
"Bingyi, you and Dongmei are sending your mother-in-law back."
Zhou Zhigang began to give orders.
"Then Dongmei and I will come see you and mom another day!" Zhou Bingyi said goodbye to Zhou Rong and Cai Xiaoguang, and then he and Hao Dongmei helped Jin Yueji away.
"Are you going in to eat or coming home with us?" Zhou Zhigang asked.
"Where are you going back to? Bingkun's house?" Zhou Rong asked.
The couple nodded.
"Okay, then you go back first. Xiaoguang and I have a meal. We have some things to do in the afternoon. Xiaoguang happens to be free and has a car, so it's convenient. I won't bother you with anything."
"What about work?" Li Suhua asked.
Zhou Rong said: "I have made an appointment with the principal of Jichun University. I will go to the school in the afternoon and discuss the work in person. School will start in two days, so I have to go and see the environment of Jichun University in advance."
"Since you have something to do, let's take the children back first."
"After you finish your work, come back early for dinner in the evening. Mom will make your favorite dumplings for you." Li Suhua also loves her daughter Zhou Rong very much.
Even though Zhou Rong is now in her early forties, in Li Suhua's eyes, their brothers and sisters are still children.
"Don't wait for dinner, we don't know how long we will be busy." Zhou Rong said.
Cai Xiaoguang also helped to speak: "Jichun University has always tried its best to invite Zhou Rong back. Now that Zhou Rong is really back, they must entertain her well."
"Xiaoguang is right! Okay, since you guys have something to do later, go get something to eat first to cushion yourself."
"We'll go back first."
"Mom and Dad, please slow down on the road."
"Yueyue, mother will come back to see you tonight." Although Zhou Rong is selfish, Feng Yue is her biological daughter after all, and there must be feelings for her.
Walking on the road, the old couple walked behind holding their little tails, and a few children walked in front.
Zhou Ming walked to Feng Yue and asked curiously: "Cousin, haven't you always said that you want to be admitted to Yanda University and become a great writer like your father? Why did you just say that you want to study science again? Don't you not want to be admitted to Yanda University? ?”
"Idiot!" As soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head. It was Zhou Ling who made the move: "You don't even understand this. My cousin is obviously fooling that bad old woman."
"Yes, cousin!"
"Ahem! Zhou Ling!" Before Feng Yue could speak, Zhou Cong coughed twice, glanced at Zhou Ling lightly, and immediately frightened the little girl and shrank back, hurriedly avoiding the 'scary' look.
"Brother, she is not a good person to begin with, and I was right!" Although Zhou Cong was a little frightened, Zhou Ling thought she had done nothing wrong.
"One code equals one code. As a girl, you should speak more appropriately and don't act like you have no control over your words all day long." Zhou Cong said.
Zhou Ling felt a little aggrieved: "Brother, dad said, don't restrict your nature too much. My personality is like this, and I can't be a virtuous, gentle and quiet lady."
"That's what I said, but you still have to be polite. How can you say that someone is a bad old woman behind her back!" Zhou Cong said.
"But she wants to break up us and our parents. She is a bad person to begin with, and she is also an old woman. Doesn't it add up to a bad old woman?"
"Brother, although you are the eldest brother, you can't stop me from telling the truth!"
This was the first time Zhou Cong had been criticized. But he thought what Zhou Rong said was quite reasonable. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute.
However, Feng Yue quickly grabbed Zhou Ling and glanced behind her. Li Suhua and Zhou Zhigang saw the little tail hanging slowly behind them, and they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandpa and grandma are still behind, don't let them hear it. ”
Zhou Ling immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth, and turned her head carefully to look back, when Li Suhua waved to them: "Slow down, don't run, the road is slippery, be careful of falling."
Then he breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest with a scared look on his face, "I almost thought I was going to mess it up."
"Hmph!" Zhou Cong snorted and said, "Be more careful what you say in the future and don't say anything out loud."
Seeing Zhou Ling being scolded by his elder brother, Zhou Ming was very happy, but before he could enjoy playing, Zhou Cong also glanced at him: "Why are you laughing? You don't have any eyesight. Don't just eat it next time. How long will it be?" Mind-set."
Feng Yue disagreed. She put her arm around Zhou Ming's shoulders and said, "Mingming, don't listen to your elder brother. I think you are good like this. You are loyal and honest. My cousin likes you like this."
Zhou Rong smiled at Feng Yue, a little shy.
"Brother! You were in the box just now. What did the old woman say? Are you really planning to find our grandpa?" Zhou Ling asked curiously.
Zhou Cong put his hands behind his back and did not answer. Instead, Feng Yue covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Do you think your eldest brother is the kind of person who will give her a chance to speak?"
"What's going on? Cousin, can you tell me?" Zhou Ling became interested as soon as she heard this, like a curious baby, with a twinkling light in her eyes.
Feng Yue turned around and looked back again, pulled a few people to speed up, and whispered: "I'm telling you! Your eldest brother was so powerful at that time, he was just like the younger uncle who was carved out of the same mold. Let’s get straight to the point…”
"So our plan was successful?"
"Your eldest brother is personally at the helm. The plan we made together must succeed!" Feng Yue said with a smile.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"Brother is so awesome!" Zhou Rong exclaimed repeatedly, looking at Zhou Cong with little stars in her eyes and admiration written all over her face.
"That bad old woman should be blaming her like this to my eldest brother, and she's trying to take advantage of our little tail. I think she just needs to be dealt with, and she has the nerve to suffer misfortune with us."
Speaking of this, Zhou Cong's eyes flashed slightly and he said solemnly: "Compared with her, we are still a little too immature."
Thinking of Jin Yueji's reaction after he finished speaking, Zhou Cong began to reflect. Jin Yueji's rank was indeed much higher than his. At the same time, he also made up his mind not to deal with Jin Yueji in the future. Just like Wang Zhong said, no. Jin Yueji visits his house again.
"By the way, big brother, aren't you afraid that your uncle will scold you when you say this? My uncle and our father have fought against each other back then. What if my uncle gets mad and beats you? Aren't you afraid?" Zhou Ling looked curious. asked.
"What are you afraid of? Tong Yanwuji, I am still a child. How can my uncle, who is so shameless, scold me and scold me a few times, do anything with me?" Zhou Cong said confidently.
Zhou Ling's big black and white eyes looked up and down, left and right, at Zhou Cong, who was over 1.7 meters tall and well-proportioned, and curled her lips: "Brother, can we have some face?"
"Huh?" Zhou Cong's eyes squinted, and Zhou Ling hurriedly changed her words: "Slip of the tongue, I mean, brother, you are really thick-skinned, even thicker than our father."
"You're such a big man, but you still have the nerve to say you're a child."
Feng Yue covered her mouth and smiled softly, her features were picturesque.
Zhou Cong was not angry. Instead, he said proudly: "This is called learning from others."
Still holding his hands behind his back, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Be low-key."
This made Zhou Ling roll her eyes several times.
"Brother! What if we misunderstand someone?" But at this moment, Zhou Ming, who had not said a word, suddenly said.
Zhou Ling jumped out immediately: "Comrade Zhou Ming, how could you have such a stupid idea!"
Zhou Ming shrank his neck, "I...I just said it casually."
Zhou Ming, the elder brother, has been manipulated by Zhou Ling since he was a child.
"You can't just say it casually. Haven't you heard a saying? It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature." Zhou Ling talked to Zhou Ming seriously.
Zhou Ming said in a low voice without confidence: "I just think she is quite kind, not like what we thought."
"You idiot, how can you only look at people by their superficial appearance?" Zhou Ling was so angry that she slapped Zhou Ming again and tried to teach him: "Do you know what it means to know people, know faces but not know people's hearts? That bad old woman back then But they all came to our house and forced our mother to take away the little tail. How can such a person be a good person?"
Zhou Ming's expression suddenly changed, and he looked regretful: "I'm sorry."
Zhou Ling was a little reluctant: "Don't you like the little tail and want her to take the little tail away, or do you want to see our mother sad?"
If it weren't for the fear that Li Suhua and Zhou Zhigang behind him would hear it, Zhou Ling would have stood on the moral high ground with her waist in front of her and questioned Zhou Ming loudly.
"I...I..." Zhou Ming was also anxious and at a loss. He couldn't speak fluently. He blushed and said with a pinched neck: "I didn't!"
There were even faint tears in his eyes.
"Then you still speak for her!" Zhou Ling showed no sign of weakness and firmly grasped the initiative.
Seeing that Zhou Ming was about to cry because of Zhou Ling, Feng Yue, who was watching the show and snickering, quickly persuaded him: "Okay, okay, we have to clench our fists and speak to the outside world in unison. How can we start internal strife at this time?" Woolen cloth!"
Zhou Ling glanced at Zhou Ming with disgust, snorted, walked around to the other side, holding Zhou Cong's hand, "Brother, I'll go with you."
"Cousin, brother, I really don't have one." Zhou Ming hurriedly explained like an ant on the hot pot.
"Okay, don't be anxious. My cousin believes in you, and your elder brother also believes in you." Feng Yue hurriedly said, "Lingling is joking with you."
Feng Yue and Zhou Cong have long been accustomed to this kind of situation. Zhou Ming and Zhou Ling are completely at two extremes. One has basically zero combat effectiveness, and the other is close to the ceiling.
It stands to reason that twins and twins must have some kind of telepathy, but at least their relationship should be good. However, Zhou Ming and Zhou Ling are like enemies and have not dealt with each other since they were young.
Zhou Ming has always been the one being picked on since he was a child.
Whenever the two of them quarreled, Zhou Ling was always victorious, while Zhou Ming was beaten to the point of being defeated every time.
