Chapter 48 Preparing to Build a House
That night, Wang Zhong received the news that Hao Dongmei's father had a sudden asthma attack and was admitted to the hospital instead of going to Cheng Lao Zhou's house.

All Zhou Zhigang's preparations turned into wishful thinking, and a pot of cold water poured down his enthusiasm.

Regarding this, Wang Zhong didn't say anything, he didn't even go back to the old Zhou's house, and he still lived in Taiping Hutong, living a small life with his wife and children on the kang.

What Wang Zhong didn't know was that things were far more than that. When the driver of Hao Dongmei's parents drove a large box of gifts and the two cans of tea that Zhou Zhigang had sent back to the old Zhou's house, Zhou Zhigang's face turned black and followed. Like the bottom of a pot.

This is tantamount to a direct crit, and sprinkled several handfuls of salt on Lao Zhou's wound.

Knowing that Father Hao had an asthma attack and was admitted to the hospital, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei couldn't care less about anything else, talked to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, and hurriedly followed the driver.

Zhou Zhigang was sitting in the back room with a gloomy face. He was wearing the clothes he wore when he got married, and even combed his hair. But in his mind, he was thinking about what Wang Zhong said.

Could it be that Zhou Bingyi really lied to him by saying that he was infertile?

Is it because I don't object to his marriage with Hao Dongmei?

Zhou Zhigang's first reaction was to not believe it, thinking that what Wang Zhong said was angry, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Wang Zhong had no possibility of joking about this kind of thing.

In the car returning to the provincial party committee compound, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were sitting in the back seat, next to each other.

After repeatedly confirming from the driver that Father Hao was fine, Hao Dongmei became worried again.

"Bingyi, what if Dad won't let us be together because I can't have children?" Hao Dongmei also loved Zhou Bingyi so much that she panicked and asked such words.

Zhou Bingyi took Hao Dongmei's hand and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, my parents are not that unreasonable. Besides, we've been married for so many years, so it's fine."

"But... I... I'm worried..." The scene of Zhou Zhigang getting angry just now and fighting with Wang Dazhong is still vivid in his memory, so Hao Dongmei couldn't help thinking about it.

"Everything is up to me! My parents are there, and I will do their work." Zhou Bingyi put his arms around Hao Dongmei's shoulders, wrapped her in his arms, and comforted him softly: "Don't you believe me yet!"

Hao Dongmei buried her head in Zhou Bingyi's arms, her cheek against his chest, "I'm just worried!"

"Okay!" Zhou Bingyi smiled and said, "Trust me, I can handle it well!"

"En!" Hao Dongmei could only hug Zhou Bingyi tightly, but the tears in her eyes could not be stopped after wiping and wiping.

·······
The next day, when there was nothing to do during the day, Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan led the children to the Provincial Party Committee compound, planning to visit Qu Xiuzhen who had retired.

Unexpectedly, the security guard of the provincial party committee compound was replaced by a young guy who had just retired from the army. He didn't know Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan, so naturally it was impossible to let him in.

"Brother, just call Dean Ma's house and tell Zhou Bingkun's family to come and visit them."

Wang Zhong spoke very politely, and even pulled out a large front door and handed it out.

The young man was a nice guy. He shook his head and said that he didn't smoke, but he still didn't reject Wang Zhong's suggestion: "Sure, I'll call Dean Ma's house and ask."

The young man also saw that Wang Zhong had a good temperament, and the three children were also very polite, and greeted him obediently, calling him uncle, and Wang Zhong also skillfully called out the name of the young man's ex, and told the location of Ma Shouchang's house, otherwise, Maybe I have to break it for a while.

The young man had just picked up the phone, and before he could make a call, a familiar figure came out of the gate pushing a bicycle.

"Bingkun? Zheng Juan?" Zhou Bingyi was a little surprised. Zheng Juan was fine, but when he saw Wang Zhong, Zhou Bingyi remembered that kick last night, and his face changed immediately.

"Uncle!" Zhou Cong greeted Zhou Bingyi with two younger ones.

Zhou Bingyi was okay with the children, and he forced two smiles on his face when he answered.

Zhou Bingyi frowned, with a bit of vigilance and a bit of reprimand in his tone: "Why are you here?"

It seemed to be blaming Wang Zhong for coming to the provincial committee compound without his consent.

"This is not some military important place, we can come if we want!" Wang Zhong didn't give much face.

Zhou Bingyi glared at him: "Although this is not an important place for sergeants, it is also a compound of the provincial party committee. All the leaders of the province live here. No one else is allowed to enter. What are you doing here?"

"Brother, why do you think I'm here?" Wang Zhong didn't answer, but asked instead.

After Hao Dongmei's father was hospitalized for asthma yesterday, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei went to the hospital, and then returned to Hao's house with Hao's father.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Bingyi's face became even more ugly, and his eyes towards Wang Zhong also became cloudy and uncertain.

Wang Zhong grinned slightly, and said, "Don't worry, big brother, Juan'er and I are not here for big brother, not to go to Hao's house, and we have never thought of wanting to be honored by big brother."

At this time, the security guy in the guard room also poked his head out of the window: "Comrade, Chief Qu told you to go in quickly!"

Wang Zhong held Lingling in one hand, and carried a rattan basket in the other. It was covered with a cloth, and he didn't know what was inside. He walked straight past Zhou Bingyi: "Brother, we have an appointment with Secretary Qu, so we don't want to delay it." , let’s go ahead.”

Zheng Juan also nodded and smiled at Zhou Bingyi, and walked in with Mingming in her arms.

Zhou Bingyi's face became even uglier. Wang Zhong's move was like an invisible slap that slapped him hard on the face. Yesterday's kick was only physical damage, but today's move is a mental attack.

"Comrade Zhou, that comrade called you big brother just now, are you brothers?" The doorman at the window looked at the backs of Wang Zhong's family walking in while holding his bicycle, and suddenly asked curiously.

"It's a real brother." Zhou Bingyi suddenly squeezed a smile out of his ugly face.

"No wonder Secretary Qu is so happy to hear that your brother is here."

Zhou Bingyi smiled and didn't answer, but when he turned around, the smile disappeared instantly.

In front of the Ma's house, Qu Xiuzhen and Ma Shouchang couldn't wait to run outside the door after receiving a call from the guard room. When they saw Wang Zhong's family from a distance, they couldn't wait to wave their hands.

Zhou Cong was even more happy. Seeing the old couple, he couldn't wait to run over.

"Grandpa Ma, Grandma Qu!" Zhou Cong and the old couple were old acquaintances.

"Oh! Congcong has grown so tall!" Congcong is six years old. Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan were well fed and tall. They have been practicing boxing with Wang Zhong since they were four years old. Like a calf.

"Where's Yueyue?" When Wang Zhong and his wife came over, they either brought the two older ones, or brought the four children together, and they never left behind.

"Yueyue's parents are also back to celebrate the New Year, so she must stay by her parents' side for the New Year's Eve!" Wang Zhong explained with a smile.

"Oh! Her parents are back! They really should stay with her parents."

The old couple suddenly realized that this child, Yueyue, was really pitiful. He was sent back to Jichun at such a young age, and followed Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan all the time.

"Hello, Grandpa Ma! Hello, Grandma Qu!"

The two little ones, Zhou Ming and Zhou Ling, also called out obediently.

"Lingling is almost becoming a big girl!" Qu Xiuzhen squatted down and looked at Lingling with two braids, with a bright smile on her face.

Ma Shouchang also knelt down and opened his arms towards Mingming: "Come on, Mingming, let Grandpa Ma hug you."

The two young ones raised their eyes to look at Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan at the same time, and after receiving the encouraging eyes from their parents, they also opened their hands and walked into the arms of the old couple, making the old couple very happy.

The old couple's attention was on the three children, and they didn't pay close attention to Wang Zhong's words. They were not talking about sister and brother-in-law, but about Yueyue's parents.

The old couple are not the kind of unreasonable people, not to mention there are three children, Zhou Cong is too strong, the old couple may not be able to hold them when they are old, but Zhou Ming and Zhou Ling are two little guys. But it doesn't matter.

After saying a few words, the old couple hugged each other and led Wang Zhong's family into the house.

Majiahe has not changed a few years ago, a group of people are sitting on the sofa, the tea table is full of fruits and snacks, and the children are very happy.

Usually at home, Wang Zhong strictly controlled their snacks and never ate too much. Before today's visit, it was rare for Wang Zhong to let them eat with open bellies.

Seeing that the children looked like wolves who had never seen meat, Wang Zhong immediately coughed dryly, with a straight face, the children's outstretched hands immediately froze, and all four pairs of eyes looked at Wang Zhong, looking pitifully Xi's.

Just listen to Wang Zhong said: "What should I say before eating snacks?"

Several children turned to look at the old couple, and said in unison: "Thank you Grandpa Ma, thank you Grandma Qu."

Then the four pairs of eyes looked at Wang Zhong again, and when they saw Wang Zhong nodded, they threw themselves into the pile of snacks on the coffee table with a smile on their face.

The old couple looked at this scene and gave Wang Zhong a tacit understanding, and then greeted the children: "Don't be afraid of your father, you have Grandpa Ma and Grandma Qu to support you, if he dares to speak against you, Grandpa Ma will teach him a lesson."

The four children happily said that the old couple was so nice, and Zhou Ling obediently picked up two big white rabbit toffee, walked up to the old couple and handed them to them.

He hugged Qu Xiuzhen happily and kissed the little girl a few times.

Wang Zhong took out two bottles of wine: "The authentic old Yanjing Erguotou and Niulanshan."

Then came several bottles of canned fried sauce: "Juan'er learned this from a neighbor aunt in Yanjing. The authentic Yanjing fried sauce is delicious when used for noodles."

The old horse picked up a bottle of Niulanshan and swallowed: "It's just right, let's drink a bottle at noon later."

Wang Zhong took out two more cigarettes: "I bought the big Qianmen at the bottom of the Qianmen Building."

But after handing it out, he took it back again, and told him with a serious face: "Old Qu, you can smoke, but you have to control the amount, otherwise I won't give it away later!"

"That's enough, that's enough!" Qu Xiuzhen impatiently snatched the front door from Wang Zhong's hand: "A big man, who chatters and chatters, is not as good as an old woman!"

Wang Zhong immediately complained: "Old Ma, you don't care about this?"

Not thinking about it, Lao Ma said, "How come only Lao Qu has it, but mine?"

The old couple are big smokers.

Before Wang Zhong could speak, Lao Qu raised his eyebrows: "Why, you are not convinced?"

The old horse snorted, but did not give in.

Both Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan had smiles on their faces, this old couple has always been like this, bickering is one of their joys.

Wang Zhong took out two more, and the old horse was so happy that he turned around to tease the children beside the coffee table.

"How about it, is Grandpa Ma's house big?"

"It's so big, it's so big!" Obviously very cooperative, the Ma's house is a small modern-style building, the layout is quite exquisite, and the space is also very large. After Lao Ma and Lao Qu moved in, they didn't make any changes at all.

"Why don't you go back and live with Grandpa Ma!" Ma Shouchang joked with the children.

The three children all shook their heads in unison.

"Don't you guys like living in a big house?" Ma Shouchang was a little surprised, these kids didn't follow the rules!
It was Zhou Cong who gave the answer: "Grandpa Ma, our house in Yanjing is not small, and I still have my own room."

Zhou Cong said as if showing off.

"And my father also said that a new house will be built soon, and then we will each have a big room, which will be very big."

"That's right!" Ma Shouchang looked suddenly enlightened.

Qu Xiuzhen, on the other hand, glanced at Wang Zhong after hearing this, and asked curiously, "Are you planning to build a new house?"

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "It's not that you don't know about my house. There are only two rooms. There are many people in the family and there are many children. Where can I live? These days, Juan'er and I live in Taiping Hutong with our children. of"

"This is indeed a problem." Qu Xiuzhen nodded, and said, "Then how do you plan?"

"How else can I plan." Wang Zhong said: "First divide out the household registration, then apply for a homestead, and build a new one."

"Didn't I study architecture at university? If the homestead is approved at that time, I will design and design it myself, build a bigger one with a yard, and when Congcong and the others grow up and get married, it won't be too late. No place to live."

"Are you planning to build it on optical film?" Qu Xiuzhen asked.

But Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "What are you doing with the optical film? It used to be fine, but now the optical film is dirty and messy, and the law and order are getting worse and worse. I want to find a place far away from you." Apply to a nearby place and try to see if you can find a suitable one.”

"Anyway, there are still more than two years before I graduate, so don't worry. If you can't find it, then live in Yanjing first."

Qu Xiuzhen turned her head to Ma Shouchang, who was sitting on the ground and playing with the children, and said, "Old Ma, I remember that there is a lot of open space on the south side of our compound, right?"

Ma Shouchang nodded: "There are quite a few of them. They used to be the small villas of old landlords, businessmen and wealthy households. They are all spacious. Although those houses have been returned to them now, the land has always belonged to the state. .”

"But if you want to build a house there, it can't be an earth embryo house like your optical film." Lao Ma reminded.

The old couple were very happy to help Wang Zhong within their ability and within the scope of their principles, but there were all small western-style buildings and villas in that area. affect the overall look of the area.

Wang Zhongdao: "Since we want to build it, we must build a house that can be passed on to our children and grandchildren. I plan to use a reinforced concrete frame structure as the theme, and then fill the walls with red bricks. Even if you want to change the style in the future, it will be convenient for redecoration."

"Reinforced concrete frame?" Ma Shouchang was a little surprised: "It costs a lot of money, you kid is so rich and powerful?"

If it is just red bricks, the price is definitely not expensive, but if it is really a reinforced concrete frame, no matter whether it is steel or cement, the price is not cheap.

"I have saved some manuscript fees from writing books over the years, it should be enough to build a house." Wang Zhong said modestly.
