The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 316 Dirty and Messy
Zhou Bingyi was about to leave after dinner, to pick up Hao Dongmei from the medical university, and then he would go back to his father-in-law's house later.

Zhou Zhigang told Zhou Bingyi: "If you have time, call Dongmei over for dinner."

Zhou Bingyi nodded and agreed, "Okay, Dad, I'll bring Dongmei back tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Dongmei has to go to school now and take care of her father, so you have to share." Li Suhua said.

"What happened to Dongmei's father?"

Zhou Zhigang didn't know about Hao Gaoguan's illness. What the in-laws did was no different from strangers.

"Bingkun, don't rush away." Zhou Zhigang ran into the house to search through his luggage, and it took him a long time to find an oiled paper bag.

"You take this thing to Dongmei's father." Zhou Zhigang carefully handed the oiled paper bag to Zhou Bingyi.

"Dad, what is this?" Zhou Bingyi asked.

Zhou Zhigang said: "This is wild ginseng and royal jelly. I managed to get it for your mother's body. You should send it to Dongmei's father first."

Zhou Bingyi was surprised and said: "Since it's for Mom, don't give it away!"

Li Suhua said: "I'm fine, you can send it to Dongmei's father first, and then let your father buy some later."

Zhou Zhigang nodded and said, "Bingyi, you've been in the capital all year round, and you can't see your father-in-law. It's better to bring some good things back home."

Seeing that his old father was still worrying about himself, Zhou Bingyi felt very guilty. Sometimes he also wondered if his marriage with Hao Dongmei was right.

"Bingyi, hurry up! Don't make Dongmei wait too long." Li Suhua urged.

Zhou Bingyi thanked Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua again, and went out with his things.

Zhou Zhigang sighed, and said to Wang Gang: "Bingkun, I want to take some time to go to the optical film. Our old house won't survive this winter if we don't renovate it."

Wang Gang said: "Dad, you will return to the capital with us in a few days, how can you have time to clean up the house?"

"It's just a simple repair. It won't take long. Just as your mother and I are going to meet our old neighbors." Zhou Zhigang said.

Li Suhua smiled and said, "I haven't seen Chunyan's mother for many years, I wonder how she is doing now?"

"That's not easy, let's go to the optical film immediately." Wang Gang laughed.

Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua were moved by Wang Gang's words and immediately got up.

"Okay, I'll go back to the optical film, and go back to the old house to have a look."

"Juan'er don't go, she is pregnant with a child and just got off the train, so she shouldn't work too hard." Li Suhua reminded.

"That's right, look at my brain." Zhou Zhigang slapped his forehead and said, "Juan'er stays at home to rest, we will go back as soon as we go."

Zheng Juan didn't insist either, she did have some pregnancy reaction and wanted to sleep.

Zhou Rong took the initiative to stay and take care of Zheng Juan and the children, while Wang Gang and his parents returned to Guangzi.

The three of them were not in a hurry, and wandered back to the optical tablet, frowning as soon as they arrived.

I haven't been back for five or six years, and the optical film has become even more messy. Houses have been built everywhere, blocking the roads that are not spacious.

"How did the optical film become like this?" Li Suhua couldn't accept the scene in front of him for a while.

"Mom, be careful on the road, there are big pits everywhere." Wang Gang reminded.

"Oh, I just came back and saw this, and I feel bad. Now that housing is tight for every household, they build houses by themselves. The raw materials are just digging the soil on the ground. There is a hole in the east and a hole in the west." Zhou Zhigang sighed.

"You don't care about the streets?" Li Suhua said angrily, "I'll see Chunyan's mother later, and I'll have a good talk with her."

Zhou Zhigang snorted coldly: "Chunyan's mother built a small earthen house at home, what do you want her to do?"

Li Suhua opened his mouth, but didn't answer for a while.

Wang Gang sighed: "Originally, the optical film was the poorest place in Jichun, but now it's like a slum."

Zhou Zhigang said: "Okay, let's go home first."

The three of them returned to the old house of Zhou's family, and found that the house was indeed a little dilapidated, and many walls were opened, so they couldn't do it without repairing it.

"It's better than I expected." Zhou Zhigang said after checking the house.

"Father's craftsmanship is still good. Take a look at the nearby houses, which one is better than us." Wang Gang complimented appropriately.

Zhou Zhigang was happy in his heart, and said: "Is it fake that you are your father, an eighth-level bricklayer?"

Wang Gang said: "Dad, look at what materials will be used to build the house, and give me a list, and I will find a friend to do it."

Zhou Zhigang touched his pocket and said, "I don't have any paper or pen, how can I write?"

Li Suhua said: "Let's borrow a pen and paper from Chunyan's mother."

The three of them made up their minds, so they ran to Aunt Qiao's house, just in time to see her pouring slop at the door.

"Aunt Qiao." Wang Gang called out from afar.

Aunt Qiao stopped in her tracks, squinted her eyes at Wang Gang and the three of them, and it took her a long time to recognize them.

"Oh, isn't that who?" Aunt Qiao put down the slop bucket and called, "Suhua, are you back?"

Aunt Qiao's appearance hasn't changed much, but she's getting older and has more gray hair on her head.

On the contrary, Li Suhua, who ate well in the capital, slept well, and dressed in spirit, looked much younger than Aunt Qiao.

"Suhua, why did you become younger?" Aunt Qiao pulled Li Suhua, looked around, and yelled non-stop.

"The material of your clothes is so good, it's not cheap!"

"Fortunately, Juan'er bought the clothes for me."

"Look at your complexion, you are a rich old lady!"

Aunt Qiao enthusiastically invited Wang Gang and the three into the room, and chatted vigorously while holding Li Suhua's hand.

"How is your house? Does Chunyan still live here?" Li Suhua asked Aunt Qiao.

"Where can I live here?" Aunt Qiao smiled and said, "Chunyan is not as capable as your family, Bingkun, and she doesn't even have a house."

Li Suhua asked: "Is she still working in the bathhouse?"

Aunt Qiao said: "The public bathhouse has long since disappeared. It was taken over by a private boss. Chunyan worked under him as a vice president."

"Vice President! That's a leader." Li Suhua laughed.

"What's the leader! Now private companies don't give out housing." Aunt Qiao said dissatisfied.

"Suhua, you are so lucky to have three good children." Aunt Qiao looked at Wang Gang and said regretfully, "Why didn't my Chunyan and Bingkun get married back then?"

"Cao Debao is also very good, and now he has been promoted to workshop director!" Wang Gang laughed.

"The director of the workshop, the soy sauce factory is not doing well now, and the wages are not fully paid. The soy sauce is paid for wages all day long, and the family can hardly let it go." Aunt Qiao complained.

After chatting with Aunt Qiao, Wang Gang discovered that the people who live in optical film have not developed very well in recent years, the unit efficiency is not good, and the salary cannot be paid.

This is not an isolated phenomenon.

When the old sisters met, there were endless topics to talk about. Wang Gang and Zhou Zhigang were bored, so they got down to business and wrote the required materials. Wang Gang took the list and went to Shui Ziliu.

Tu Zhiqiang and Shui Ziliu no longer live in the optical film. As soon as they made money, they set up a shop in the urban area and usually live in the shop.

It was a bookstore called Sancao Bookstore.

As soon as Wang Gang entered the store, he found that there were many customers in the bookstore, and some adults brought their children to choose learning materials.

The guest was greeted by a young girl about 20 years old. Wang Gang didn't see the water flowing by itself.

"Hi, is the water flowing? I'm his friend." Wang Gang asked the young girl.

Seeing Wang Gang, the girl asked curiously, "Are you Brother Bingkun?"

Wang Gang was taken aback for a moment, puzzled and said, "You know me?"

The girl said happily: "Brother Bingkun, I am Xiaoning, Sun Xiaoning! The younger sister of Sun Chanchao."

Only then did Wang Gang remember who the girl was!
"Xiao Ning, have you grown so big?" Wang Gang asked in surprise.

Sun Xiaoning is Sun Chanchao's biological sister, and Wang Gang had met her before, but she didn't have much contact with her.

Calculating the time, this girl should be here this year.

"Xiao Ning, why do you work here? Have you passed the college entrance examination?" Wang Gang asked.

Sun Xiaoning said sadly: "My college entrance examination score was six points short, so I didn't get into university."

Wang Gang said with regret: "It's a pity that it's only six points short. You should repeat the study for another year and try it next year."

Sun Xiaoning said: "My family is in trouble, so I can't repeat it anymore. I am working in a bookstore now, and I will review by myself when I have time."

Wang Gang nodded and said: "Yes, yes, is your Boss Shui here? I am his friend and I have something to do with him."

"The boss has gone to stock up, so he should be back soon." Sun Xiaoning said.

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, and while talking, Shui Ziliu walked into the store carrying a large bundle of books.

"Xiao Ning, hurry up and unload the goods." The water flow is inconvenient for legs and feet, but it is very stable to walk with the books.

"Brother Shui, let me come." Sun Xiaoning came out from behind the counter, but was stopped by Wang Gang.

"let me!"

Only when the water flowed by itself did I see Wang Gang.

"Bingkun, why are you here?"

Seeing Wang Gang, the water flowing by itself was extremely happy.

"I'll help you move the books first, and we'll talk later." Wang Gang said with a smile.
