"Don't go!"
"If you want to go, you can go by yourself, I won't go anyway!"
Qu Xiuzhen refused without thinking.
Wang Zhong and Ma Jianguo looked at each other.
"Aunt Qu, please stop joking with me. Why am I going to Shanghai?" Wang Zhong said with a bitter face.
"You're not even willing to go, so why don't you let me go!" Qu Xiuzhen was a little unhappy and even spoke in a hurry.
Wang Zhong gave Ma Jianguo a helpless look, and Ma Jianguo returned Wang Zhong's encouraging look.
"Aunt Qu!"
"Think about your eldest grandson and your lovely little granddaughter! They are all looking forward to your visit!" Wang Zhong continued.
Qu Xiuzhen turned to look at Ma Jianguo: "Jianguo, how about you send Xiaole and Xiaoai back to Chunlai? Anyway, you and your wife are busy at work and don't have time to take care of them. I happen to be free and can help you take care of them. You guys I can also concentrate on work.”
"Mom!" Ma Jianguo wanted to cry but didn't have any tears. His mother was not like this before. Why haven't we seen each other for so many years? Even if we did see her, it would only be a brief contact. This change is a bit too big.
"Okay!" Qu Xiuzhen said: "You, just stay in Shanghai with your wife and children in peace and contentment. I am doing well in Jichun. I am already so old. I don't want to If you move again, I will stay with your dad in Jichun. When I leave, I will lie with him. If you really want to honor me, take advantage of the fact that I can breathe and move now, during the holidays. When the time comes, bring back more wives and children for me to take a look at."
"Xiao Le and Xiao Ai are so old. As a grandmother, I have never seen them!" He came back in a hurry this time, and Ma Jianguo failed to bring his wife and children with him.
"Isn't this too rushed?"
Ma Jianguo arrived the night before yesterday. Today, Ma Shou usually visited the house during the day. It would be night. All the guests had left, and only Wang Zhong's family stayed. One was because he was worried about Qu Xiuzhen, but Ma Jianguo invited Wang Zhong with all his strength. The whole family stayed behind, letting Wang Zhong watch and persuade Qu Xiuzhen.
Ma Jianguo's daughter-in-law is Xu Qing, a native of Shanghai and a teacher at Jiaotong University. She has a son and a daughter who are usually taken care of by the children's grandparents.
This time Ma Shouchang left too suddenly, and Ma Jianguo had no choice but to rush back alone.
"Okay, I don't blame you." Qu Xiuzhen also understands Ma Jianguo. He and his wife's jobs are in Shanghai, and his wife's natal family is also in Shanghai. Moreover, Ma Jianguo is now in his prime and has done a lot in Shanghai. Years, with the help of my daughter-in-law's family, are the period when my career is on the rise.
If we return to Jichun, even though Qu Xiuzhen and Lao Ma are there, everything will have to start from scratch. If you want to achieve results, it will not happen overnight.
"Forget it about going to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Don't try to persuade me. I have made up my mind." Qu Xiuzhen's attitude was very firm.
Ma Jianguo was anxious: "Mom! Just come with us to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. How can I rest assured that you stay alone in Jichun?"
"Don't worry, there are Bingkun and Zheng Juan here!" Qu Xiuzhen said: "There are also Congcong and Mingming. There are so many god-grandchildren and god-grandchildren. Are you still afraid that I will have no one to take care of me?"
"How can this be the same!" Biological sons and grandchildren are completely different from knowing their godson and goddaughter. ….
"Okay! If you try to persuade me again, I'll get angry." Qu Xiuzhen said with a straight face, pretending to be angry.
There was nothing Ma Jianguo could do, and Wang Zhong was also helpless. The two grown men could only stare.
After staying in Jichun for two days, I saw that there was nothing he could do to get Qu Xiuzhen, so Ma Jianguo had no choice but to leave. He couldn't kidnap Qu Xiuzhen to the Shanghai stock market.
But without Ma Shouchang, Qu Xiuzhen would inevitably feel a little lonely living alone.
Zhou Cong didn't stay in Jichun for more than a few days. He was already in his second year of graduate school, studying mechanical dynamics, and was studying for a master's degree and a Ph.D. at the moment. He was currently doing research with his tutor. The time was tight and the tasks were heavy, so he had to rush back as soon as possible.
Fortunately, his Jiangliao University of Technology is not far from Jichun, and Zhou Cong can come back at any time if he is free.
Fortunately, there is still a little tail at home. She has just entered the freshman year of high school. Zhou Ling is also in Jichun University and has just entered the sophomore year. She can go home at any time. It just so happens that Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan are going
After taking turns going to the hospital to take care of Li Suhua, Zhou Ling and Xiaowei were sent to Qu Xiuzhen's house, where they could also accompany Qu Xiuzhen to relieve her boredom.
After all, Ma Shouchang had just left, and Qu Xiuzhen must have felt sad. Although Qu Xiuzhen behaved very normally, she and Ma Shouchang had been together for half their lives. Now that Ma Shouchang suddenly left, it must have been a very heavy blow to Qu Xiuzhen. big.
Zhou Ling is also a smart girl. She doesn’t live in the dormitory at all and moves directly into Qu Xiuzhen’s house. When she has classes, she goes to school. When there are no classes, she stays with Qu Xiuzhen at home. She follows Qu Xiuzhen to the elderly activity center and takes her Qu Xiuzhen went shopping everywhere.
The little tail Zhou Feng is similar. After class every day, he rushes to Qu's house, has a dinner with Qu Xiuzhen and Zhou Ling, finishes his homework at Qu's house, and watches TV with Qu Xiuzhen before riding. He would ride his bicycle back to his home and occasionally stay overnight at Qu Xiuzhen's house.
Another half month passed, and the first snow fell in Jichun. After Wang Zhong and Zhou Bingyi discussed it, he and Zheng Juan took Li Suhua back to their home, and hired a nanny to take care of Li Suhua during the day and clean the house. hygiene and housework.
When Qu Xiuzhen had nothing to do, she often came to see Li Suhua, chatting with Li Suhua to relieve her boredom, and the two of them watched TV together. Although Li Suhua was worried about Zhou Zhigang's health, at the moment she could barely get off the ground and move around a little. I don’t have much strength, and I’ll be too tired to take even two steps. I can’t do any work at all, let alone take care of others.
She also knew that if she went back to the letter now, it would increase the burden on Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei.
Although he was worried about Zhou Zhigang, he could only stay at Wang Zhong's house first.
As time passed, Li Suhua's health gradually improved. It was no longer like at the beginning where she would gasp for breath when she moved even a little.
On this day, Cai Xiaoguang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly called and said that he had reserved a table at Zheng Juan's restaurant and wanted to treat Wang Zhong to dinner.
Wang Zhong was a little surprised. Ever since Cai Xiaoguang and Zhou Rong got together, he had no contact with Cai Xiaoguang. He didn't expect that this kid would contact him suddenly.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Although Wang Zhong didn't like to see Zhou Rong, Cai Xiaoguang was a nice person, so he didn't refuse and drove to the banquet.
When I arrived at the restaurant, I learned from the lobby manager that Cai Xiaoguang came alone this time, and he immediately went there happily. ….
"brother in law!"
As soon as Cai Xiaoguang saw Wang Zhong, he stood up with a smile to greet him.
"Brother-in-law!" Wang Zhong stretched out his hand and shook Cai Xiaoguang's hand.
This can be regarded as a bad joke between the two. Although Zhou Rong ran away to Qian Province and married Feng Huacheng, Wang Zhong and Cai Xiaoguang had always treated each other as brother-in-law and brother-in-law in private.
After all, Cai Xiaoguang has been Sima Zhao's heart for Zhou Rong for a long time, and everyone knows it.
"Ever since you and Zhou Rong got together, you haven't looked for me!" Wang Zhong walked straight to Cai Xiaoguang and sat down, looking at her and saying meaningfully.
Cai Xiaoguang had a stern look on his face, turned to the waiter and clapped his hands: "Serve, serve!"
But when he turned around, he was greeted by Wang Zhong's scorching eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Cai Xiaoguang felt guilty. He had nowhere to put his hands and his mouth was dry. He happened to see the tea cup in front of him, picked it up and drank it in one sip.
"Tell me, how does it feel to have the goddess of your childhood become your pillow?" Wang Zhong said with a smile on his face, and he raised his eyebrows at Cai Xiaoguang as he spoke.
Cai Xiaoguang choked and almost couldn't help but spit out all the water in his mouth.
"What do you feel?" Cai Xiaoguang pretended to be confused.
Wang Zhongqie said: "Stop pretending, who said it in the first place, life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away!"
Cai Xiaoguang became more and more embarrassed. He said these words when he and Wang Zhong were drinking. At that time, his wife had been separated in a car accident for several years, but Cai Xiaoguang had been single and had no intention of remarrying. Cai Xiaoguang's mother If you are in a hurry, it will be useless to urge you. Cai Xiaoguang is still the careless person who doesn't care.
So Cai Xiaoguang's mother went to Wang Zhong and asked Wang Zhong to help persuade her.
Finally, Cai Xiaoguang, who was tipsy after drinking, uttered these words.
"But what now?" Wang Zhong's unreasonable attitude made Cai Xiaoguang even more embarrassed.
"Stop it, stop it!" Cai Xiaoguang hurriedly apologized: "I'm here to treat you to dinner, not to tease me."
Wang Zhong did not let go of his intention: "Who is making fun of you? I am asking you a serious question."
"Okay, okay, I'm convinced. Just tell me, whatever you want, I'll admit it!"
Cai Xiaoguang can’t accept it!
"Anything is fine?" Wang Zhong looked at Cai Xiaoguang with a playful expression and asked.
"Uh..." Cai Xiaoguang's face froze and he didn't know what to say.
"Brother-in-law! Big brother!" Cai Xiaoguang quickly apologized: "I was wrong, I was wrong, what do you mean, okay?"
"Forget it!" Wang Zhong waved his hand and asked, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Cai Xiaoguang quickly poured himself a glass of water and took a sip. He looked at Wang Zhong with some lingering fear. Seeing that Wang Zhong didn't seem to want to continue teasing him, he was relieved.
There was a knock on the door, and the waiters lined up to bring the dishes to the table. Cai Xiaoguang ordered five dishes, one soup, and two bottles of Wuliangye.
He quickly picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for Wang Zhong first, and then a glass for himself.
"Let's talk about things first, and then we'll eat."
Wang Zhong had no intention of raising his glass, and Cai Xiaoguang could only put down the raised wine glass and said: "In recent years, the domestic film market has been getting better and better. As you know, I have been working in our city over the years. I was fooling around in the drama troupe without achieving any results. Your sister has recently been promoted to associate professor. Think about it, as a man, I can’t let your sister compete with a woman!”….
"Let's keep competing!" Wang Zhong said with an indifferent expression: "Anyway, you don't feel embarrassed when you are just licking the back of Zhou Rong's butt!"
"How can this be the same!" Cai Xiaoguang immediately retorted: "If a man pursues a woman, he must be shameless."
"Come on, stop showing that face of yours, it's disgusting!" Wang Zhong said with a look of disgust.
"Hey!" Cai Xiaoguang was shameless and not afraid at all.
"Brother-in-law! Mr. Zhou!" Cai Xiaoguang said with a smile: "Invest some money! The movie is released and if it sells well at the box office, you can make money too, right?"
"Why are you pretending to be innocent like me just now?"
"Isn't this cooperation with you?" Cai Xiaoguang said with a smile.
"With your acting skills, it's a shame to be a director. You should be an actor. The best actor is not as good at acting as you!" Wang Zhong said angrily.
"Look at what you said, you don't understand. If the director doesn't have any acting skills, how can he teach the actors?" Cai Xiaoguang said.
"That makes sense."
"Just tell me whether to vote or not!" Cai Xiaoguang looked confident.
Wang Zhong laughed speechlessly and shook his head: "Even if you want to invest, you have to let me see the script! You can't just talk about it and I'll give you the money!"
"I'm not taken advantage of."
Cai Xiaoguang, however, looked confident. He took out a stack of bound scripts from his briefcase and placed them in front of Wang Zhong: "It's already been prepared!"
"Yo ho! Come prepared!"
Wang Zhong was not surprised, even though he said that Cai Xiaoguang was not the kind of person to fight unprepared battles.
"That's not it!" The two sang in harmony, then looked at each other and smiled.
Wang Zhong picked up the script and started turning it over. Although Cai Xiaoguang was full of confidence, he was still a little nervous, especially when Wang Zhong suddenly frowned while looking at it, and the speed of turning over the script became faster and faster, and he suddenly felt a little nervous. Rin, a little panicked.
"What's wrong?" Cai Xiaoguang couldn't help asking.
"This is your script!" Wang Zhong slapped the script on the table, looked at Cai Xiaoguang, and said, "To be honest, I can't find any big mistakes, but there's nothing outstanding about it either. Overall, it's not great! "
"No way!" Cai Xiaoguang said with a look of disbelief: "I have been thinking about this script for almost a year, and I have revised it repeatedly.
Play it ten times! "
"To be honest, I can't write movie scripts, but I can write and tell stories. Your script is really good, but this story is not good. The routine is too old, the subject is empty, and it is too idealistic."
"The story is not good?" Cai Xiaoguang frowned, then smiled and said shyly: "Great writer, please help polish it!"
Wang Zhong spread his hands and rubbed his fingers: "Where's the retouching fee?"
Cai Xiaoguang pursed his lips at the delicacies on the table: "Isn't this it?"
"Today, you have convinced me!"
Cai Xiaoguang smiled without saying a word and just looked at Wang Zhong with a smile.
Wang Zhong shook his head and said, "You can polish the script, and you can invest in it, but the script you modify after polishing it must be approved by me."
"No problem!" Cai Xiaoguang assured, patting his chest.
With Wang Zhong's writing ability, Cai Xiaoguang has no doubt that the story he writes will not be exciting enough. ….
"Let's think about it in a few days!"
······
Cai Xiaoguang's sudden visit gave Wang Zhong inspiration. Regardless of whether he was a magazine or a publishing house, the current prospects were still bright, but in ten or twenty years, transformation would be necessary, and so many copyright holders In his own hands, it would be worthless if he sold them all. If Cai Xiaoguang could stand up and take the photos himself, not to mention the cost savings, if he made a profit, it would be a big profit.
Within a few days, Wang's reworked story was ready.
Cai Xiaoguang rushed to Wang Zhong's house, expecting to find a treasure, but when he saw Wang Zhong's story, he immediately frowned.
"It's that simple?"
Cai Xiaoguang looked at Wang Zhong in disbelief.
Wang Zhong nodded and said: "A love story? Why make it so complicated? It's your first time contacting the big screen. If it's too complicated, are you sure you can handle it?"
Cai Xiaoguang stopped talking. He held the new story and was silent for a long time. Then he looked up at Wang Zhong and said, "You are right. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk the road step by step. I have just come into contact with the big screen. First Take some simple exercise shots."
"Okay, let's go back and work on the script. Don't leave it here to get in my way."
"Okay! Please excuse me!" Cai Xiaoguang walked away happily.
Not long after, Cai Xiaoguang came to Wang Zhong with a fresh script. Taking advantage of this period, Wang Zhong had someone register a film and television company, set up a grassroots team, signed a contract with Cai Xiaoguang, and gave him 5% of the shares.
You can get shares without doing anything, that is, Cai Xiaoguang.
Wang Zhong directly injected three million into the film and television company, which was used to purchase equipment and the cost of Cai Xiaoguang's first movie.
Cai Xiaoguang took the money and equipment, straightened his waist, and started his journey to the big screen with a group of actors kidnapped from the drama troupe.
Cai Xiaoguang's movie has not yet seen results. Just after the New Year, something happened to Zhou Zhigang. I don't know how, he fell off the kang, hit the ground head first, and fell directly to the ground.
Sister Hu blamed herself very much, but she had just wiped Zhou Zhigang's body and told him to lie down on the kang and not get out of bed. Sister Hu went to the toilet outside to wash the pants that Zhou Zhigang had just changed.
Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, Zhou Zhigang went crazy and wanted to get off the kang, but accidentally fell off the kang.
Fortunately, the kang was not high from the ground, so the fall was not particularly heavy, but just such a fall made Zhou Zhigang, who already suffered from severe Alzheimer's disease, even more confused.
After raising it for more than half a month, it is considered healed, but I can't even straighten my legs when walking. I can only walk by holding on to the wall, and the speed is still slow, stopping and walking. If I fall, I don't use my hands and feet together. I have difficulty reading when I want to stand up.
But even so, this old boy still ran out eager to see the sky.
Fortunately, the courtyard door made by Wang Zhong was strong enough, and Zhou Zhigang didn't have much strength. When he struggled to open the door, Sister Hu also saw him.
Especially at night, I would sleep with Zhou Zhigang
Zhou Bingyi, who was sitting on the kang in the east room, was struggling so much. He was tossing around every night, and his incontinence of urine and feces became more and more frequent. ….
Around mid-March, Li Suhua's body was almost healed, but she still didn't have much strength, and she couldn't touch cold water.
Although Li Suhua was thinking about Zhou Zhigang, she only went back to visit him every now and then. In order not to cause trouble to her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, she still chose to live with her younger son.
After all, Zhou Zhigang has already tormented Zhou Bingyi and his wife enough. If he is like this now, something may happen to him one day. That is not torturing his eldest son and his wife.
Another half a year passed, and one night in midsummer, Zhou Zhigang developed a high fever. He was confused and muttering something unknown.
Zhou Bingyi sent the person to the hospital overnight, but he couldn't survive it. At four o'clock in the morning, Zhou Zhigang was too old and had been bedridden for many years. His health was extremely poor, and he completely lost his breath in a daze.
After Li Suhua heard the news, she fainted on the spot, and everyone rushed Li Suhua to the emergency room for rescue.
Fortunately, there was no danger and he was rescued.
But Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan were shocked.
Zhou Zhigang's funeral was held at the old house of Guangzipi. Zhou Bingyi, the eldest son, took care of it. Wang Zhong was also present, but he didn't help with anything. He mainly took care of Li Suhua.
Lao Zhou's house is decorated with white sails and white cloth, and his children are all dressed in plain clothes.
On the second night after Zhou Zhigang's death, Li Suhua sat alone in front of Zhou Zhigang's tomb, looking at Zhou Zhigang's photos and crying constantly.
Early the next morning, when everyone found out, Li Suhua had completely stopped breathing.
Looking at Li Suhua's already cold body, even Wang Zhong couldn't help but feel sad. Zheng Juan, Zhou Ling, Zhou Ming, Feng Yue and Little Tail were already crying together.
Only Zhou Cong was still strong. Although he was equally sad, he held back his tears.
Among Wang Zhong's three siblings, Zhou Rong was the only one who cried heartbreakingly and was completely imageless.
After getting along for more than thirty years, even a piece of stone should be warmed up, not to mention that Wang Zhong is also a human being, and his heart is also made of flesh.
Li Suhua's sudden death really hit Wang Zhong a lot.
The three of them discussed and decided to bury them together with the old couple and put their ashes in a jar.
After finishing the funeral arrangements for the old couple, although they were sad, life still had to go on. The three families went home and spent time together as before.
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei adopted two children, a boy and a girl, from the orphanage long before Jin Yueji's death.
The three families lived their own lives, and occasionally interacted with each other.
The following year, Zhou Bingyi, the second-in-command of Jichun City, took up the renovation project of optical type films.
For such a large project, Wang Zhong's Chongshan Real Estate Development Company naturally couldn't miss it, participated in the bidding, and successfully won the bid.
The bidding and design plan alone took more than half a year.
It took more than half a year to move and clear the site. It was not until the summer of the next year that construction officially entered the factory. From the main body to decoration, from residential to commercial areas, to street greening, it took more than four years to complete the renovation project of the optical lettering film. Curtain.
At this time, Zhou Bingyi was not far away from retirement.
Qu Xiuzhen also died in the hospital when she was hungry in early 1999.
In 2000, Zhou Cong got married. His wife was his college student, three years younger than Zhou Cong. She met Zhou Cong in school when he was a graduate student. After getting married, Zhou Cong entered a confidential unit, and her wife Stay in school and teach.
In 2004, Zhou Ming also got married. Zhou Ming majored in history at Yanda University, where he also studied for a master's degree and a Ph.D. after graduation. After graduation, he also chose to stay at the school to teach. His wife is a teacher at the same school and is older than him. Two years old.
In 2006, when she was almost 30 years old, Zhou Ling, who was well-known in the legal field, finally got married. Her husband was a cadre of the Communist Party. He was 34 years old and was the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in Jichun.
As for the little tail Zhou Feng, this boy studied architecture in college like Wang Zhong. After graduation, he entered Chongqing University.
Mountain Group.
In 19 years, in the hospital ward, Zheng Juan, who was already gray-haired, was lying on the bed, her face was pale, and she was dying. Wang Zhong, who was also white-haired, was sitting on the bedside, holding Zheng Juan's hand.
"I'm sorry, I can't hold it anymore, I have to leave first!" Tears already fell from the corners of Zheng Juan's eyes.
"You have to be good to yourself and take care of yourself!"
"Eat well, sleep well, be well..."
Zheng Juan didn't say anything and closed her eyes completely.
Feeling that the hand held in his palm was completely drained of strength and the temperature gradually dropped, Wang Zhong, who had never shed tears in his life, finally shed two lines of clear tears.
The children and grandchildren all burst into tears. .
Chaos
