Chapter 57
On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan were carrying the gifts they bought in advance yesterday, and were planning to take Guangming to Xiaoheishan Village after breakfast, planning to settle down the good things about Guangming and Zhang Qiaoer.

However, Zhou Bingyi, whom he hadn't seen for many days, suddenly came to him.

After the winter vacation, Zhou Bingyi stayed at school for a few more days, then went back to Jichun, visited Li Suhua once on the day he came back, and stayed at Hao's house ever since.

Hao Dongmei's father fell ill not long after winter, and Zhou Bingyi stayed with Hao Dongmei during this time, taking care of Hao's father and Hao's mother.

"Bingyi?"

"Aren't you taking care of Dongmei's father in the hospital?" Seeing the eldest son, Li Suhua was a little surprised.

Zhou Bingyi's mood was a little depressed, and his expression was also somewhat sad: "Dongmei's father left yesterday morning!"

"Leaving?" Li Suhua quickly realized and sighed: "Hey!"

"Why did you just leave!"

"He was asleep and no one was there. When we found out, he was no longer breathing. His father-in-law was still smiling. He should have walked away peacefully."

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, everyone has to go through this, so don't be too sad." Li Suhua comforted the eldest son.

"Dongmei's father has just left, her mother is getting old, and Dongmei is a woman again. Now they are not sure how uncomfortable the mother and daughter are. Dongmei's parents only have a daughter like Dongmei. As the saying goes , half of a son-in-law, Dongmei's father's funeral, you should pay more attention to it."

Zhou Bingyi didn't expect his mother to say such a thing, and his heart was inevitably touched.

"Don't worry mom, I know what to do."

"When I come back this time, I'm afraid you might be worried, so I'll let you know." Zhou Bingyi said.

Li Suhua hurriedly urged him: "Okay, okay, I understand, you go back and watch, Dongmei and her mother can't do without people now."

Looking at the eldest son who hesitated to speak, Li Suhua couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but Li Suhua also knew that it must have something to do with the younger son, otherwise the eldest son would never be like this.

But at the beginning because of Hao Dongmei's parents, Wang Zhong and Zhou Zhigang had a big quarrel, and the good family broke up like this. Although Wang Zhong never mentioned it, Li Suhua knew that Wang Zhong had always had a knot in his heart.

"Mom! There is one more thing!" Zhou Bingyi regretted it as soon as he said it.

"What's the matter?" Li Suhua also understood: "If it's related to Bingkun, you should tell him yourself that I can't be his master."

Zhou Bingyi's eyes flickered, and he sighed: "Forget it then!"

"Mom, I'm leaving first, you have a good rest."

Zhou Bingyi came suddenly and left suddenly. He stayed at Wang Zhong's house for less than 10 minutes without drinking a sip of water.

In the room, Zheng Juan pushed Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong didn't respond, Zheng Juan went out by herself, and called Zhou Bingyi: "Brother, let's go after breakfast, the pot is cooking."

"No, no, there are still a lot of things to do at Dongmei's house! You can eat! I'll go first." Zhou Bingyi and Zheng Juan were still polite, at least they didn't shake their faces.

The kitchen is in the middle of the inverted room, separated from the main room by a large yard, and Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan are not used to listening to the walls, so naturally they did not hear the brief conversation between Zhou Bingyi and Li Suhua.

"What are you doing!" Zheng Juan pushed Wang Zhong, with a bit of blame in her tone: "Brother didn't even say hello when he came."

Wang Zhong said indifferently: "The way is different and there is no conspiracy. There is nothing to say between me and him."

"How can you say that's your elder brother!" Zheng Juan knew that Wang Zhong had resentment in his heart.

Wang Zhong spread his hands and said, "I didn't say he wasn't my big brother."

Wang Zhong understood Zheng Juan's meaning, no matter what, they were all a family, brothers born from the same mother's womb, their bones were broken and their tendons were still connected.

Wang Zhong obviously didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Bingyi.

"Hey!"

Zheng Juan sighed, shook her head, and walked back to the stove.

"People say that fighting tigers is a brother, father and son in battle, the eldest brother must also have the difficulties of the eldest brother, he..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Zhong.

"I know your painstaking efforts, but I'm not the kind of person who forces me to wrong myself. If I can't get along, I can't get along."

"I know he has his reasons and considerations, and I didn't say that what he did must be wrong. I can understand him, but that doesn't mean I have to accept it."

"He is the son-in-law of the Hao family, but he is also the eldest son of the old Zhou family. Since he married Hao Dongmei, he has the responsibility and obligation to handle the relationship between the two families. Now that the relationship between the two families has developed like this, Hao Dongmei's parents are indeed responsible. , but he, Zhou Bingyi, cannot absolve himself of the blame."

"It's not like we are rushing to become relatives with the Hao family!"

"Life is only a few decades, so why should you wrong yourself for the likes and dislikes of others."

Listening to Wang Zhong's long speech, Zheng Juan shook her head, sighed, and gave Wang Zhong a helpless look.

"Hey!"

"Forget it, I can't beat you!"

The couple brought millet porridge and steaming buns to the restaurant from under the corridor.

Greet Li Suhua and the children for dinner.

Before eating, Zheng Juan had just served Li Suhua porridge when she heard Li Suhua say, "Your sister-in-law's father passed away, and Bingyi said he left in the early morning."

Zheng Juan was very surprised, her eyes widened, her face was filled with astonishment, her porridge serving froze, obviously she didn't expect that Zhou Bingyi made a special trip to talk about this matter.

And they came here on purpose, but they didn't even tell Wang Zhong. Thinking of what Wang Zhong said just now, Zheng Juan suddenly understood Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong pushed her lightly: "Why are you in a daze!"

Zheng Juan woke up suddenly, and hurriedly handed the porridge to Li Suhua, and to the children, Guangming and Wang Chongsheng.

"Kun'er, what do you think about this?" Li Suhua looked at Wang Zhong and asked cautiously.

"Mom!" Wang Zhong swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said, "I don't think it's important. The Hao family's affairs have nothing to do with our family. Besides, don't you have a big brother?"

"I'm afraid your elder brother won't be able to take care of you alone." Li Suhua said worriedly.

But Wang Zhong said: "There is nothing I can't take care of. When Juan'er's mother left, I was the only one who took care of it. I didn't see that I couldn't take care of it."

"How can this be the same!"

"Why is it different!" Wang Zhong didn't take it seriously, "It's all a coffin and a handful of loess. Could it be that sister-in-law's father is an exception?"

When people die, they either go directly into the coffin and bury them in the soil, or they are cremated to ashes and then enter the coffin and bury them in the soil.

Zheng Juan gave Wang Zhong a kick from under the table, her eyes signaled that the children were still there.

"Even if we can't take care of it, it's none of our business."

Li Suhua looked at his son, shook his head, and sighed: "Hey!"

"Forget it, forget it, as long as you know it yourself, I'm old, and I don't listen to my words anymore."

"Mom!" Wang Zhong smiled slightly: "Don't waste your time, your son and I have a temper like the stones in the latrine, smelly and hard."

"Humph!"

"Brat!" Li Suhua gave Wang Zhong a sideways look: "The wings are hard."

The little old lady also planned to use some soft methods, but it was a pity that Wang Zhong refused to accept the soft and hard.

Wang Zhong looked at the children, rolled his eyes, and showed a mysterious smile on his face: "Congcong, Yueyue! Do you want to go to the countryside to play?"

"There are many cute dogs like Dahei Erhei in the countryside! There are also chickens, ducks, pigs and lambs, and there are so many small animals!"

"Want to go!"

Zhou Cong and Feng Yue, who were burying their heads in the cooking, quickly raised their heads and replied in unison, their eyes shining brightly.

The two younger ones quickly raised their heads to look at Wang Zhong, and said in unison: "Dad! I want to go too!"

"That can't be done. Our whole family has gone, who will take care of grandma at home!"

A few children, you look at me, I look at you, Feng Yue took the lead to stand up: "Uncle, you take your brother and younger siblings! I will stay at home with grandma."

"Sister, I'll stay with grandma too!" In the end, the little cotton-padded jacket is sensible, Lingling followed suit, got off the stool, walked to Li Suhua's side, and grabbed Li Suhua's hand: "Grandma, I'll stay with you grandmother."

"Okay, okay!" Wang Zhong said: "Well, this time, let Congcong and Yueyue go first, and Mingming and Lingling stay at home to take care of grandma!"

"When we go next time, let Mingming and Lingling go, Congcong and Yueyue stay at home to take care of grandma! What do you all think?"

The children looked at me and I looked at you, and they all nodded in agreement with Wang Zhong's plan.
