Spring passed and autumn came, and it was 90 years in a blink of an eye.
The spring in auspicious spring is not long. After the cold, it enters warm spring and everything revives. After spring comes, summer follows one after another.
Although it is not as hot as in the south, the heat in midsummer is unbearable, but the heat is not low either.
Wang Zhong was lying on the sofa, holding a piece of watermelon in his hand and feasting on it.
The electric fan next to the sofa was blowing loudly, and the cartoon "Havoc in Heaven" was playing on the TV. Wang Zhong, who was almost forty years old, was actually watching it enthusiastically.
Zheng Juan sat next to her and chewed half of the watermelon in her hand. She sat directly on the ground with her little tail, holding a piece of watermelon in both hands, staring intently at the picture on the TV while chewing.
"Don't cut the watermelon like this next time. Peel it and cut it into cubes. Put it on a plate and eat it with a fork."
Zheng Juan smiled and said: "Okay!"
"Jingle Bell!"
Suddenly there was a call from behind. Zheng Juan put down the watermelon in her hand and walked over to pick it up.
"Hey, who is this?"
"Bingkun, it's brother, I want you to answer the phone."
Wang Zhong stood up reluctantly.
He was still complaining: "There must be nothing good happening this late at night!"
"Okay, hurry over, big brother is waiting." Zheng Juan put the microphone on the table and pushed Wang Zhong over.
"Hello!"
Ever since he forgave this guy last time, he has been pushing his limits a bit. He and Hao Dongmei ran to Wang Zhong's house and brought gifts to the children, claiming that they wanted to repair the relationship with the children. , to restore the image of the couple in the eyes of the children.
"Bingkun! Dongmei's mother is seriously ill and hospitalized!" Zhou Bingyi's voice could not hide his sadness on the phone.
"Seriously ill and hospitalized?" Wang Zhong didn't feel any trouble after hearing this, but Zhou Bingyi suddenly called him to inform him. There must be some purpose.
"Dongmei's mother wants to see you." Sure enough, Zhou Bingyi's voice sounded again.
"No time!"
Wang Zhong decisively refused without thinking.
He directly blocked out the rest of what Zhou Bingyi had prepared.
When Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan were taking care of Ma Shouchang, they would rush to the hospital at random, deliver two meals a day, and also act as free drivers, picking up and delivering patients.
But here we are, Jin Yueji.
Zhou Bingyi didn't understand what Wang Zhong meant, but thinking about Jin Yueji's appearance on the hospital bed just now, how could he just sit back and ignore it.
"Bingkun, listen to me..."
"Okay, don't waste your time. Even if you say hell, I won't go. She and I are not familiar with each other, and we have never met each other a few times. If you have the skills, think more about how to go. Take care of her!"
After saying this, Wang Zhong immediately hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, at the hospital counter, listening to the busy signal coming from the phone, Zhou Bingyi suddenly turned into a bitter look and put down the phone in his hand, his brows filled with helplessness and despair.
Wang Zhong's temper has improved over the past few years, and Zhou Bingyi can be considered as having little success. If Wang Zhong himself is not willing, then it will be useless whether he is soft or hard.
With heavy steps, Zhou Bingyi returned to the ward.
Jin Yueji was lying on the bed, with a needle in her hand and infusion.
Hao Dongmei was sitting by the bed, holding a thermos box in her hand and feeding Jin Yueji.
Seeing Zhou Bingyi come in, Jin Yueji quickly asked: "What did he say?"
Zhou Bingyi walked to the opposite side of the hospital bed and poured a glass of water. He walked to the bedside and placed it on the small cabinet beside the bed. He shook his head: "He said he was too busy recently and didn't have time to come over."
Jin Yueji's face froze, and then her eyes that were still full of expectation dimmed instantly: "It seems that he still hates me in his heart."
"That's right! If I were him, I would be the same."
"Hey!" Jin Yueji sighed, pushed Hao Dongmei's food in front of her mouth, and said, "I'm full."
"Mom!" Hao Dongmei said in a anxious tone, "How much did you eat just now?"
"Mom, don't be like this. You still have to eat, and taking good care of yourself is the most important thing. I will go find him in person tomorrow." Looking at Jin Yueji's current appearance, although Zhou Bingyi knew that there was little hope, he still couldn't bear it after all.
Jin Yueji said nothing, but her expression could not hide her loneliness.
······
On that day, the sky was gloomy, the air was dull, and a little hot. Wang Zhong drove to the company and went straight upstairs. The construction of the new campus of Jichun University started last spring and stopped in the winter. But after the spring of this year, it started again immediately. Return to work.
Nowadays, the main bodies of several buildings have been almost completed.
As soon as Wang Zhong arrived outside the office, a secretary in a suit and tie greeted him first: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Sun Qianchao came here early in the morning. I asked him to wait for you in the office."
"Okay, I understand, go and do your work!"
Opening the door, Sun Ganchao was sitting on the sofa, bored with a book. There was a pot of steaming tea on the coffee table in front of him.
"Bingkun, you are here."
"What's the matter with coming here so early?" Wang Zhong put the briefcase in his hand on the table and walked to sit opposite Sun Qunchao.
But Sun Qianchao stood up and walked to the door, closing the door quietly. Before closing it, he did not forget to look around, looking shameful.
Seeing him like this, Wang Zhong couldn't help but smile and asked: "What's wrong? What are you doing to yourself?"
Men, no matter whether they have money or not, are prone to make mistakes with women.
"What harm can I do?" Sun Qianchao walked back to the sofa and sat down, looking at Wang Zhong: "It's Yu Hong, no, it's your brother-in-law. Isn't he been busy lately? I finally had a rest yesterday. One day, I was thinking that it had been a long time since I took Yu Hong and my children out to play, and we went to see a movie yesterday."
Wang Zhong felt something in his heart. The plot seemed a bit easy to guess.
"Guess who we saw in the cinema?" Sun Qunchao deliberately lied about it.
"Didn't you say everything just now?" Wang Zhong said angrily.
"Did I say it?" Sun Ganchao was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand: "That's not important. What's important is that we saw your brother-in-law, Feng Huacheng, in the cinema. At that time, he was holding hands with a young woman and was very intimate. We walked together, talked and laughed, behaved very intimately, and even watched the same movie as us. In that way, Yu Hong and I didn't feel like ordinary friends."
"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Sun caught up and asked.
Although he spoke awkwardly and his words did not match up well, Wang Chong understood the meaning clearly.
"I understand, you want to say that Feng Huacheng had an affair with that woman, right?" Wang Zhong acted calmly, and his eyes were extremely calm.
Sun Ganchao rubbed his head in embarrassment: "Anyway, that's what happened. Yu Hong and I saw clearly that it was indeed Yueyue's father, but you'd better find someone to check. To avoid misunderstanding...”
I don’t know much about Feng Huacheng and Sun Qianchao. I don’t know that Feng Huacheng has been the only one left in Feng Huacheng’s family for a long time. His parents are no longer there and he has no brothers and sisters. There is no need to guess the identity of the woman.
"Okay, don't worry about this. I'll just handle it myself."
"Does anyone else know about this?" Wang Zhong asked.
Sun Ganchao shook his head and said, "How could we just talk to people about this kind of thing?"
Wang Zhong warned: "Tell Yu Hong and don't tell anyone for the time being, especially Wu Qian."
"I know! I'll tell her when I get back in the evening." Sun Ganchao knew the importance. This was not a glorious thing. How could he talk nonsense.
After all, Wu Qian is Xiao Guoqing's daughter-in-law. Although everyone dislikes her, because of Xiao Guoqing's face, Sun Qianchao still asked her to cook for the construction team with Yu Hong.
Although the cooking conditions at the construction site are simple and the prices are cheaper than those in restaurants outside, they can't bear the large quantities. Now Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing lead a construction team. Sun Qianchao's team now has more than 200 people. Okay, Xiao Guoqing's one is a little less, just over 100.
But there are nearly 400 people in total. Even if they only have one lunch every day, the profit will not be low.
This thing is just like a school cafeteria, with small profits but quick turnover. The key is long-term and stable. As long as the construction company does not collapse, this job can continue.
After sending Sun Chaochao away, Wang Zhong picked up the phone and dialed a number.
After a busy tone came from the phone, an elegant and easy-going voice rang: "Hello!"
"Brother Shui, it's me, Zhou Bingkun."
"Bingkun?" On the phone, Shui Ziliu's voice could not hide his happiness: "Why do you have time to call me when you are so busy?"
Shui Ziliu has always been very grateful to Wang Zhong. If Wang Zhong hadn't helped bridge the gap, he and Luo Shibin might not be where they are today.
Wang Zhong said: "I must be asking for something!"
"What's the matter? Tell me!" Shui Ziliu said directly without being polite to Wang Zhong.
"I know that Brother Shui has a broad career in Jichun and has many friends from all walks of life. I wonder if Brother Shui still has contact with those friends from before?"
Shui Ziliu on the other side was silent for a moment and then asked: "It depends on what you want to do. If it's murder and arson, Brother Shui doesn't have that option."
Wang Zhong burst out laughing: "Brother Shui, don't worry, we are law-abiding citizens, how can we dare to violate laws and disciplines? Hey! It's embarrassing to say that."
"I'm working at home. I have an elder brother and a second sister above me. Brother Shui knows about it."
"Um!"
"I had a childhood incident recently. When I took my family out to play, I saw my brother-in-law acting very close to a strange young girl outside. They were not like ordinary friends. Aren't I afraid of misunderstanding? So I thought first Find someone to investigate carefully and find out the truth to avoid misunderstandings."
The sound of flowing water sounded again: "Brother, if it's anything else, I really don't dare to vouch for you, but finding someone to investigate this kind of thing is a piece of cake for you, Brother Shui."
"Then please trouble Brother Shuishui. Let's make an appointment. I'll give you the information and we'll discuss it in detail in person."
"So, are you free at noon? I'll go find you!" Shui Ziliu said.
"Go to my restaurant at noon. I'll let Juan'er cook. Let's have a good meal."
"Okay!" Shui Ziliu was not polite to Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong immediately called Zheng Juan again and told her about inviting Shui Ziliu to dinner.
Shui Ziliu was Ji Chun who returned during the Spring Festival last year, and brought his daughter Shui Linglong. Not only that, as Ji Chun's reform and opening up began, Luo Shibin, a man with a sharp eye, also saw this big cake and wanted to come in and get a piece of the cake. , that’s why Shui Ziliu came back early with his daughter.
On the one hand, it is to serve as a front for Luo Shibin's march into Jichun. On the other hand, as the old saying goes: if wealth does not return to its hometown, it is like walking in brocade at night.
At around eleven o'clock, Wang Zhong arrived at the restaurant early.
After a while, Shui Ziliu also arrived with his daughter.
As soon as she saw Zheng Juan, Shui Linglong excitedly let go of Shui Ziliu's hand and ran towards Zheng Juan.
"Aunt Zheng!" the little girl shouted happily.
"Ouch, it's Xiao Linglong!"
Zheng Juan's face was also full of smiles, she knelt down and held the little girl in her arms.
"Why are you here, Xiao Linglong? Do you miss your aunt?"
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded like garlic and said with a smile: "I miss Aunt Zheng!" After saying that, she leaned forward, hugged Zheng Juan's neck, and kissed Zheng Juan's face.
It is said that a daughter resembles her father, and this is clearly demonstrated in this girl's body. Her eyebrows and eyes are like flowing water, and her facial features are exquisite. She looks like a porcelain doll, so cute.
"Brother Shui!"
"Juan'er!" Shui Ziliu also walked over with a smile on his face: "Why, now that I have your Aunt Zheng Juan, I don't want my father anymore?"
The little girl pretended not to hear, and asked Zheng Juan in a sweet voice: "Aunt Zheng, where are the brothers and sisters?"
"That's no coincidence, they went to play football today."
"Play football?" The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, "I want to play football too."
"You're too young to play football." As soon as Shui Ziliu finished speaking, the little girl's company collapsed in embarrassment: "I want to play football too!" He said with a cry.
Zheng Juan said hurriedly: "Don't listen to your father. Who said you can't kick at a young age? Your little tail brother started kicking when he was three years old."
"Look back, auntie, let Brother Little Tail teach you how to play football, okay?"
"Yeah, yeah!" The little girl nodded immediately, and kissed Zheng Juan on the face again excitedly: "Aunt Zheng is the best!"
As he said this, he did not forget to turn his head and look at Shui Ziliu with disgust, and snorted: "Dad is the worst!"
It made the two of them laugh in unison.
"Bingkun is already here, I'll take you there!"
Although it's not the first time I've come here, I'm always a little shocked every time I come here.
The pavilions, pavilions, carved railings and painted buildings are exquisite and subtle, but they appropriately combine the roughness and boldness of northern architecture.
There are many courtyards and winding corridors. There are not many flowers and plants in the courtyard, but there are many strange mountains and rocks, pavilions and waterside pavilions.
When we came to a small lakeside building called Cuiyuxuan, the door of the private room was open.
The private room was very large, with two floors, and an independent bathroom inside. Wang Zhong was sitting on the sofa, with a pot of hot tea on the coffee table in front of him and a book in his hand.
The cover is colorful, and the content inside is more pictures than text.
"Uncle Zhou!" As soon as the little guy saw Wang Zhong, he couldn't wait to shout. Especially when he saw the thing in Wang Zhong's hand, his eyes lit up instantly. He didn't need Zheng Juan to hold him anymore, and he clamored to let Zheng Juan let go. She went down, then ran directly to Wang Zhong with her short legs, looking at the picture album in Wang Zhong's hand with bright eyes.
"Uncle Zhou, what is this?"
Wang Zhong closed the album and looked at her: "Comic books! Do you like them?"
"I like it!" The little girl didn't even bother to nod, staring intently at the comic book in Wang Zhong's hand.
Wang Zhong handed over the picture album: "How about Uncle Zhou give this to you?"
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou!" The girl took the picture album and started flipping through it.
After teasing the little girl for a while, the waiters put the food on the table. With Xiao Linglong here, it was naturally not easy to drink, so the two simply ate something. After eating, Wang Zhong handed Feng Huacheng's information to Shui Artesian flow.
In fact, Wang Zhong could already conclude that Feng Huacheng must have cheated on him, but he didn't want to alert the enemy before getting substantial evidence.
As the saying goes, if you kill a snake, you will be blamed for it. Wang Zhong has always adhered to the principle of not taking action. Once he does, he must be decisive and ruthless, and directly eliminate the root cause.
Shui Ziliu started taking action, so he couldn't delay on his own side. Everything could be prepared in advance.
Wang Zhong had no intention of hiding this matter from Zheng Juan, so he told her that night.
At night, the couple were leaning on the bedside, and Zheng Juan asked, "If this is true, what are you going to do?"
"It shouldn't be wrong."
"So this is the reason why you are looking for water today?"
"Yeah!" Wang Zhong said: "The people of Shui Ziliu's three sects and nine liu sects know many people and have a wide range of paths, so it is more convenient to investigate."
"Where's Yueyue? What are you going to do?" Zheng Juan asked worriedly.
Wang Zhongdao: "To tell you the truth, Yueyue is already seventeen this year. If she were at this age in ancient times, she would have returned the child to her mother. There is no need to hide this kind of thing from her."
But Zheng Juan still had scruples: "It's not good! Yueyue is already a sophomore in high school and will soon be a senior in high school. What if it affects her study?"
"It's because she is only a sophomore in high school that I have to tell her. If this matter is true, then Feng Huacheng and Zhou Rong's marriage must have come to an end. Do you think that with Zhou Rong's temperament, this matter can be kept quiet? solution?"
Zheng Juan was left speechless by Wang Zhong's question. Zhou Rong was always reckless in doing things. She just did what she wanted. She always acted so willfully and couldn't listen to other people's advice.
Wang Zhong said: "Besides, paper can't cover the fire. Even if Zhou Rong really endured it for her, she always has everything written on her face. Yueyue is a smart and sensitive child. If time goes by, Now, won’t she notice anything unusual?”
"If she really finds out about this when she is in her senior year of high school, do you think she can study with peace of mind and prepare for the college entrance examination with peace of mind?"
Zheng Juan gave a helpless smile. She understood Yueyue. In that case, it would be strange if she could still study with peace of mind.
"Why!"
"It's up to you!"
While sighing, Zheng Juan suddenly said this: "You said what if Yueyueji hates you because you exposed this matter?"
Wang Zhong was stunned. He had never thought about this problem, because in his heart, he subconsciously believed that this situation was impossible to happen.
After all, he and Zheng Juan brought Feng Yue up from childhood.
Zheng Juan seemed to realize something was wrong, and said quickly: "I just said casually, that child Yueyue is well-behaved and sensible, so she will definitely not do it."
Wang Zhong looked at Zheng Juan's eyes first, then turned his head and lay on his back, looking at the ceiling, and said calmly: "If she really hates me because I exposed this matter, then let's just pretend that she hasn't raised her up after all these years." Pass her."
Zheng Juan pushed Wang Zhong: "You are willing to do it."
Wang Zhong turned his head and looked into Zheng Juan's eyes, stared at her and said: "There is nothing to be reluctant to part with. If this is the case, it is better to end it as soon as possible."
Zheng Juan was silent. She regretted so much now why she asked so casually.
Wang Zhong turned sideways, put his hand under Zheng Juan's head, and took her into his arms: "Do you think I'm too cold-blooded and ruthless?"
Zheng Juan was obviously in a low mood and did not answer.
Wang Zhong did not continue this topic, but raised his hand to pinch Zheng Juan's chin. The two looked at each other, and Wang Zhong said: "This is nothing. Do you want to know when a man is the most ruthless?"
Zheng Juan frowned, looking confused.
Wang Zhong grinned, a little bit...
Forty minutes later, Wang Dian lit a cigarette, took a long puff, and exhaled a thick puff of smoke.
It is indeed better than a living god.
Zheng Juan's hair was a little messy and she was covered in sweat. She leaned lazily on the bed and didn't want to move. She turned to look at Wang Zhong: "What did you mean by that just now?"
Wang Zhong burst out laughing, leaned into Zheng Juan's ear, whispered a few words, then put out his cigarette, got out of bed, whistled and walked into the toilet. After a while, the sound of rushing water started.
Zheng Juan leaned against the bed in a daze. When she came to her senses, her cheeks instantly turned red, and then she raised her hands to cover her face and smiled.
"Juan'er, where is the soap? Where did you put it?" Wang Zhong's voice came from the toilet.
Zheng Juan said: "Isn't it just on the shelf?"
"I didn't see it!"
"Just put it there!"
"I really didn't look at it. If you don't believe me, come in and take a look."
Zheng Juan stood up helplessly, put on her slippers, twisted the handle, and pushed the door open, but she didn't see Wang Zhong. Before she could recover, a pair of big hands wrapped around her waist from behind. The door was also closed smoothly.
"Don't you say that men are the most ruthless at this time?" Now that they are an old married couple, Zheng Juan has long lost her shyness.
"Isn't it time to be ruthless?"
The sound of rushing water sounded again.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Wang Zhong sat on the bed and rubbed his slightly sore waist. Zheng Juan stood at the head of the bed, looking at Wang Zhong with a slight smile, her eyes full of teasing.
"I'll make breakfast. You go wake the children up." As soon as Zheng Juan finished speaking, her hand was grabbed by Wang Zhong.
"What's the rush? There's no point in taking the children for morning exercises every day. Let's review them today."
"I even made breakfast for the children!"
"It's not a bad meal. They have to go to school anyway. There are many breakfast vendors at the school gate, so let them buy it themselves."
Zheng Juan glanced at Wang Zhong angrily: "Are you sure you still have the strength?"
Wang Zhong glared: "How can a man say no? Today I have to let you know how powerful I am."
An hour and a half later, after breakfast, Wang Zhong walked out of the kitchen holding on to his waist.
While Zheng Juan was clearing away the dishes, she shouted to Wang Zhong: "Drink more wolfberry, and I will get you some mutton and leeks tonight."
Wang Zhong hid his face and walked away, not daring to stop at all.
A woman who is almost forty years old is really untouchable!
Seeing Wang Zhong leave quickly without looking back, Zheng Juan, whose face was red and her skin was moist and shiny, covered her mouth and smiled softly. The unhappiness of last night was temporarily forgotten.
A week later, at the teahouse, Shui Ziliu didn't bring his daughter with him this time, so he brought a document bag and pushed it in front of Wang Zhong.
"The photos and the woman's information are all in it."
Wang Dian nodded and opened the file bag. Inside was a thick stack of photos, dozens of them, all of which were extremely intimate photos of Feng Huacheng and a young and beautiful woman.
"You, my brother-in-law, rented a house near their work unit. Whenever we have time, we have trysts there."
Wang Zhong didn't miss every photo, looked at it carefully, and then picked up the woman's information and read it.
After reading it, Wang Zhong stuffed all the information and photos neatly back.
He picked up the tea cup and said to the water: "Thank you, Brother Shui!"
"Brother, why are you so polite? If you need anything else, just say hello."
"As long as you don't violate laws and disciplines, it's easy to say anything." Shui Ziliu said.
"I'll give you tea instead of wine."
