Chapter 49
"Juan'er, do you really think it over?" Although the couple knew that Wang Zhong had always been a guest of the publishing house and magazine, they only knew that Wang Zhong had saved some money, and they hadn't really inquired about the exact amount.

"Now you don't have a job, Bingkun still has to go to college, and you have so many children. Your monthly expenses in Yanjing are not small!" Think too much.

Zheng Juan took Qu Xiuzhen's hand, smiled and explained softly: "Auntie, don't worry, Bingkun has earned a lot of manuscript fees for writing books these years, and the money for building the house must be enough, and there should be some leftovers." Quite a lot, it must be enough to meet the expenses of our family in Yanjing."

"Besides, now not only the magazine has a monthly manuscript fee, but also the publisher has a share every six months."

As Zheng Juan leaned into Li Suhua's ear, she whispered about the share that Wang Zhong got from the publishing house a year ago. Qu Xiuzhen was so startled that she almost couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, her eyes widened, and she looked in disbelief. , subconsciously blurted out: "So much?"

Zheng Juan nodded with a smile.

Qu Xiuzhen swallowed her saliva, still feeling unbelievable, and murmured in a low voice: "My monthly pension, plus Lao Ma's salary, after a year, I haven't received this kid from the publishing house." The dividends are huge!"

Ma Shouchang also looked curious, leaned over and asked, "What is the dividend from the publishing house?"

Qu Xiuzhen looked at Wang Zhong who was sitting there leisurely drinking tea, and said angrily, "The few books written by this kid received more than 8000 dividends from the publishing house a few years ago."

More than 8000?hiss!
Ma Shouchang took a breath, and looked at Wang Zhong in shock.

He and Lao Qu's one-year salary combined is not so much. As expected of a couple, they all had the same idea at the first moment.

"Do writers make so much money?"

Although Ma Shouchang was surprised, he did not doubt that he had bought the entire volume of "Changjin Lake" and the first few volumes of "Shuimen Bridge", and read each volume several times verbatim. It's the feeling of dreaming back to the time when I played the beautiful country.

Qu Xiuzhen hurriedly took a sip of water to suppress her shock: "Yes, let me tell you, you kid has always been a clever ghost who takes one step at a time and sees three steps at a time. How could he do such impulsive things."

Wang Zhong dragged the kettle on and filled Qu Xiuzhen's enamel tank with hot water: "Old Comrade Qu, let's discuss something!"

Qu Xiuzhen gave Wang Zhong a white look: "Let's put the weasel here to give the chicken New Year's greetings!"

"How can it be!" Wang Zhong said with a smile on his face, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't dare to bother you!"

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say." Qu Xiuzhen said.

Wang Zhong smiled shyly and said with a shy face, "I'm going to Yanjing after the next year! I'm thinking that after the homestead is approved, I will first give the materials that can be placed, such as steel bars, sand, gravel, and wood boards, to the city. Reserve."

"I'll come back after the summer vacation and direct the construction myself."

"In two months, the completion of the main body should not be a problem."

Who is Qu Xiuzhen, who used to be the president of the high court, the secretary of the soy sauce factory and the sugar factory.

"As expected of our Secretary Qu, President Qu, I am just..."

"Come on!"

"Besides, I won't help!" Qu Xiuzhen hastily waved her hands, interrupting Wang Zhong's flattery.

Wang Zhong chuckled and winked at Zheng Juan. Zheng Juan took out a bulging envelope from her pocket and handed it to Qu Xiuzhen.

Qu Xiuzhen's sharp eyes scanned Zheng Juan and Wang Zhong back and forth, Zheng Juan was a little embarrassed, and lowered her head blushing.

Wang Zhong said seriously: "Comrade Lao Qu, this is 2000 yuan. If you have a list, I will write to you after I draw the design!"

"You kid, you're sure of me!" Qu Xiuzhen gave Wang Zhong a look, but at the same time, she didn't forget to accept the envelope that Zheng Juan handed over.

"Hey!" Wang Zhong said with a thick-skinned smile, "How can you say that? It's because you're retired and idle all day long. I'm afraid you'll get sick from your idle time. That's why I'm thinking about you!"

"So you're still doing it for my own good! Hmph!" Qu Xiuzhen snorted, opened the envelope, and started counting in front of Wang Zhong and his wife.

The great unity of one water, a total of two hundred sheets.

"Just to buy some materials, does it cost so much money?" Qu Xiuzhen frowned.

Wang Zhong explained: "Is it too much to refund and less to make up for? I'm not afraid of too much, but I'm afraid that the money is not enough. If there is any leftover, I would like to ask you to help find a dozen or so skilled masons by the way. Let's pay the deposit first. Let them make time for the summer vacation, and we will start working as soon as I come back."

"I have a condition!" Qu Xiuzhen was not polite to Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong said directly: "Tell me first!"

"Laoma and I still need a few god-grandsons and god-daughters!" Qu Xiuzhen said directly.

Wang Zhong smiled immediately: "No problem, Congcong, Mingming, Lingling! Hurry up and call someone."

Zheng Juan was stunned by Wang Zhong's coquettish manipulation, and the three children were also stunned by Wang Zhong's words, and they didn't react at all.

······
On the boulevard of the provincial party committee compound, Hao Dongmei and Jin Yueji supported Father Hao to walk slowly on the road.

The doctor specifically explained that Hao's father's illness was caused by lack of exercise and overwork. He should rest more, work less, walk more, and activate his blood.

Just walking outside Ma's house, through the window, the family of three could see the lively scene inside, as well as the hearty laughter of Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen.

"Isn't that Zheng Juan?" Hao Dongmei subconsciously blurted out as she looked at Zheng Juan, who was standing by the table, wearing an apron and holding a rolling pin, through the glass.

"Zheng Juan? Why does it sound familiar?" Father Hao asked.

Hao Dongmei's complexion changed slightly, a little unnatural, but she still said: "Dad! She is the daughter-in-law of Bingyi's younger brother Bingkun."

Father Hao nodded, but Jin Yueji asked suspiciously, "Why is Bingyi's sister-in-law at Xiaoqu and Lao Ma's house?"

"Bingyi's younger brother used to be a worker in a soy sauce factory. Xiaoqu worked as a high-ranking party official in the soy sauce factory and was good at getting along with the masses. I heard that many young people have visited Xiaoqu's house every year in recent years."

Father Hao looked at the situation in the room and listened to the laughter lingering in his ears. A faint smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and there was a bit of yearning and envy in his eyes.

"Congcong, don't run around! It's cold outside!"

Suddenly I heard Ma Shouchang's shout from the room, and then I saw a six or seven-year-old boy running out of the gate with a stick of incense in one hand and a bunch of firecrackers in his arms. Three or four-year-old boys and girls followed closely behind, with bright smiles on their faces almost spilling out of the corners of their eyes.

"Grandpa Ma! Grandpa Ma! Hurry up!" Zhou Ming urged Ma Shouchang impatiently, "I want to set off firecrackers too."

"That can't be done!" Ma Shouchang held Zhou Ming's hand and said solemnly: "Let brother let it go, Mingming and Lingling can just watch from the side."

The little guy immediately became unhappy, pouted his mouth, and wronged Bala.

"Okay, okay! Firecrackers are very dangerous, and only older children can play. They are so young, and if they hurt their hands, they won't be able to eat delicious dumplings later."

Ma Shouchang immediately hugged Mingming up, and comforted him with clumsy lies.

Unexpectedly, this kid really believed it. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Then I will set off firecrackers when I grow up."

"Grandpa Ma, Grandpa Ma, I want to eat dumplings too!" Zhou Ling next to her also acted coquettishly, holding Ma Shouchang's rough fingers with her little hand and shaking them from side to side.

"Okay! I will eat a lot of dumplings for Lingling later."

Ma Shouchang held one and hugged the other, with a bright smile on his face.

On the other side of the intersection, the three members of the Hao family watched this scene, and the faces of Hao's father and Jin Yueji showed a bit of envy in unison.

"Dongmei, are those brothers Bingyi's children?" Father Hao asked curiously.

Hao Dongmei forced a smile and said, "The older one is Zhou Cong, the nickname is Congcong, and the two younger ones, the boy is Zhou Ming, the girl is Zhou Ling, and the nicknames are Mingming and Lingling."

Yesterday, Wang Zhong had a falling out with his family, and he even mentioned the separation of the family. What's more, he was trying to squeeze Zhou Bingyi, at least Hao Dongmei thought so.

Because of this, the good feelings Hao Dongmei had accumulated for Wang Zhong over the years almost disappeared.

"Uncle?"

Just as Zhou Cong put the firecrackers away, he was about to look around to see if no one was about to burn them, when he happened to see Hao Dongmei's family of three standing at the intersection.

"Hao*chang? Jin*ren? Who are you?" Ma Shouchang followed the prestige, saw the three of them, and quickly greeted them.

"Let's take a walk!" Father Hao showed a smile on his face, showing a rather enthusiastic expression.

In fact, the two families are very close, Jin Yueji is also Qu Xiuzhen's old superior, and Qu Xiuzhen and Lao Ma's matchmaker, the two families have frequent contacts.

"Hello Auntie!" Zhou Ming and Zhou Ling, who were put on the ground by Ma Shouchang, saw Hao Dongmei, and called out obediently.

"Congcong, Mingming, Lingling!" For Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan's children, Hao Dongmei still likes them from the bottom of her heart.

"Hao*chang, Jin*ren, it happens that the house is busy today, Lao Maqu and the others are making dumplings in the house, sit in the house for a while, and eat some together later."

"No old horse, we just had breakfast." Father Hao said politely.

"Hey~~~ I've had breakfast, haven't I eaten lunch yet! There are so many people and it's lively."

Congcong was quite sensible, the adults were talking beside him, and he waited obediently by the side, without setting off firecrackers to disturb him.

"Hey! Isn't this my sister-in-law!"

Wang Zhong came out of the room, pretending to be surprised and shouting loudly.

"Is he Zhou Bingkun?" Jin Yueji asked softly, and Hao Dongmei hummed lightly.

"Bingkun!" In front of Ma Shouchang, Hao Dongmei could only force a smile, but the smile was really forced.

While speaking, Wang Zhong had already hugged Lingling up. Zhou Cong looked at the firecracker in his hand, hesitated again and again, and ran to Wang Zhong's side, obediently standing there.

"Why don't you go to sit at home when you're here?" Hao Dongmei's smile was so forced that even Ma Shouchang could see something was wrong.

"Sister-in-law's words are interesting. I just want to sit down, so I need to know which way the door of sister-in-law's house opens!" Wang Zhong said with a smile on his face.

But when Hao Dongmei heard this, she just felt embarrassed and didn't know how to answer her uncle's words, especially in front of Ma Shouchang, a familiar elder.

If Wang Zhong kicked Zhou Bingyi yesterday, revealed her and Zhou Bingyi's secrets in front of Zhou's father and Zhou mother, and made public the fact that she could not conceive, Hao Dongmei's impression of Wang Zhong should have changed, but last night When the couple returned to Hao's house, Hao Dongmei tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, thinking a lot.

She shouldn't have kept Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua a secret about her inability to conceive. Even if she kept it a secret now, could she keep it a secret for a lifetime?

Moreover, the cause of the old Zhou's conflict yesterday, in the final analysis, was that her parents said that they would go to see the in-laws in optical format, but the reason for this was not just because of this.

She and Zhou Bingyi have been married for six or seven years, and her parents have been back to Jichun for more than three years, but the two families who are supposed to be in-laws have never even met each other.

All kinds of things, Hao Dongmei thought about it all night, and also suffered from insomnia all night.

"Bingkun!" Ma Shouchang, who was next to him, kicked Wang Zhong and gave him a wink: "You're talking nonsense."

"Uncle Ma, I'm not talking nonsense. Since my brother and my sister-in-law got married, no one in my family, including my elder brother and my parents, has ever met my sister-in-law's parents."

"Not to mention going to sister-in-law's house!"

"The two are the parents of the elder sister-in-law! Oh, look at what happened. If it weren't for the elder sister-in-law taking the two elders for a walk today, if they met on the road, I, as a junior, would not recognize them. My sister-in-law's parents, if this gets out, it will make people laugh."

Ma Shouchang was taken aback by Wang Zhong's words, apparently he did not expect such a situation.

"Bingkun! I'm about the same age as your father, so it should be fine to call you Bingkun, right?" In front of Ma Shouchang, Father Hao and Jin Yueji didn't look very well, so they hurriedly changed the subject.

Wang Chong said: "You are an elder, you can call me whatever you want."

"Bingkun, Lao Jin and I are indeed too busy on weekdays. We have not thought about many things and are not thoughtful. No wonder you have prejudices against me and Lao Jin!" Father Hao said with emotion .

Wang Zhong also smiled: "Where can it be enough? You must have heard it wrong. Both you and your sister-in-law are cadres of the state, and they work hard to serve ordinary people like us. You two At such a long age, with limited energy, how can we be able to cover everything, we all understand this, we all understand."

Pretty words, who can't say it.

"As expected of a college student, he has insights and a pattern." Hao's father nodded, looking very satisfied: "But if you have any dissatisfaction, don't hide it, just say it openly, the two of us The family sat down and worked it out."

"After all, we are in-laws!"

Wang Zhong said: "There is nothing dissatisfied, you worry too much!"

"By the way, sister-in-law said that you have asthma. It's so cold outside and the wind is so strong. You can't stay for too long. If you catch a cold, you will suffer." Wang Zhong looked warm-hearted.

"Dad, Mom! Let's go back quickly!" Hao Dongmei didn't want to stay here any longer. Facing Wang Zhong, she was even at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it.

No matter what Ma Shouchang said, he had also been in the officialdom, and he still had the ability to read words and deeds. After listening for a while, he could faintly hear that the two sides didn't seem to deal with each other very much.

"What's the hurry, Dongmei, this Uncle Ma has to talk about you, your father is usually so busy at work, it's rare to meet him, this is Chinese New Year, and it happens to be making dumplings at home, everyone sits and eats dumplings, it's no better than you It’s much more fun to go back.”

"Uncle Ma, this..." Hao Dongmei frowned, a little anxious.

Jin Yueji saw that something was wrong with her daughter, and quietly pulled Father Hao's clothes.

Father Hao noticed something, and after looking at Ma Shouchang, he still smiled and said: "Old Ma is right, it's rare to have a lively time in this New Year's Eve."

It was Hao's father who noticed Ma Shouchang's plan to resolve the conflict for the two parties.

It happened that Hao's father also had the same intention. It's better to resolve the feud than to tie the knot, and the two families are still in-laws. Hao Dongmei is Wang Zhong's sister-in-law.

After hearing this, although Hao Dongmei was very anxious, she was helpless. Father Hao has always been the master of the family.

Hao Dongmei didn't dare to tell Father Hao what happened at Zhou's house yesterday, but only told Mother, because she was afraid of causing Father Hao's illness to recur.
