Chapter 97
"mom!"

Zhou Bingyi looked at the indignant Jin Yueji, and before she could finish speaking, he interrupted what she was about to say: "Let's stop this topic here!"

Jin Yueji frowned, her brows were full of displeasure: "What do you mean?"

At the same time, there was a bit of surprise, and even a trace of almost imperceptible anger.

"Why talk about things that are destined to have no results!" Zhou Bingyi tried his best to save face for Jin Yueji. Speaking is indeed an art, especially among smart people, there is no need to point it out. .

Jin Yueji's face was as deep as water, and she looked at Zhou Bingyi with majesty and oppression, quite fierce.

With just this sentence, Zhou Bingyi expressed his attitude clearly.

But how could Jin Yueji be reconciled, because of this incident, she completely lowered her figure, lowered her face, and did not hesitate to plot against an "ignorant" woman who hadn't even graduated from elementary school. Throw it on the ground and step on it hard.

A little person that Jin Yueji didn't look down on at all, an ant, but dared to treat her like that, how could she not be angry.

Zhou Bingyi sighed from the bottom of his heart, met Jin Yueji's eyes, and said seriously and sincerely: "As the saying goes, no gold is pure, and no one is perfect. There is no perfect person in this world."

"Bingkun does have some flaws in character, but he is kind-hearted and extremely filial to my mother. Over the years, he has taken care of my mother with all his heart at home. For more than ten years, he even managed to get into Shuimu University , going to Yanjing, I still don’t forget to try my best to bring my mother there too.

Yanjingju is not easy. In order to take over his mother, Bingkun has to put in so much effort that we can't see. "

There are some things that cannot withstand careful consideration. Shencheng was the first to eat crabs and abolished the food stamp system since [-].

Before that, all parts of the country, regardless of the north and the south, lived a planned economy life based on ticket purchases. Wang Zhong was admitted to Yanda University. Although the school had a monthly subsidy, no matter whether it was Li Suhua, Zheng Juan, or the children, At that time, no one had a Yanjing household registration, and the daily expenses such as firewood, rice, oil and salt were much higher than other ordinary families in terms of price.

Moreover, there were still a large number of people in the family at that time, and Wang Zhong had no job at that time, so the school's subsidy was only spent by himself.

Thinking about Wang Zhong's heavy schoolwork at that time, he also insisted on writing and publishing books to earn manuscript fees.

Think about yourself again, one person is full, the whole family is not hungry, and they put all their heart and soul into studying, completely forgetting that there is still a mother to support.

What's more, since he went to the Corps, except for Zhou Rong's matter, Zhou Bingyi has never worried about his family's affairs.

The letters written to him from his family have always been about good things, happy things, and mother's greetings.

As for the others, Zhou Bingyi has never seen them in his letters from home because of accidents, accidental illnesses, or encounters with difficulties.

Especially in the past few years, he and Hao Dongmei lived in Hao's house, accompanied by Jin Yueji and Hao Dongmei's father, and felt more empathetic. He could understand Wang Zhong's situation back then. Zhou Bingyi felt ashamed every time he thought of it.

As the eldest son in the family, he has been placed with high hopes by his parents since he was a child, and Wang Zhong is even more caring and considerate.

Can······

"To be honest, I am far inferior to Bingkun in terms of being filial to my parents."

"Although Bingkun's method of educating children is different from the traditional family's way of educating children, it also has its own unique features.

Perhaps it was because of his own experience, in front of many children, he was truly level and impartial. In this point alone, he has already surpassed most people in this world. "

Wang Zhong's concept of children's education, like Jin Yueji's older generation with more feudal thinking, may be full of mistakes and omissions, but Zhou Bingyi is also a knowledgeable young man who grew up under the red flag and has received higher education.

Wang Zhong's education method of guiding and motivating go hand in hand is more scientific in the eyes of Zhou Zhou Bingyi, especially some of the ideas in it, let Zhou Bingyi see Wang Zhong's absorption and reference of certain foreign education methods.

While talking, Zhou Bingyi expressed emotion and said from the bottom of his heart: "If Bingkun and I were in the same position, we might not be able to do better than him."

Zhou Bingyi's words really surprised Jin Yueji.

She always thought that Zhou Bingyi would be worried about the last time the two families had dinner at the Jishantang, so when this hard-won opportunity came up, he would talk about it and turn to this topic.

But after all, it is an old fox who has eaten more salt than Zhou Bingyi in terms of mentality.

"So?" Jin Yueji looked at Zhou Bingyi, and her expression returned to normal in an instant.

Zhou Bingyi said solemnly: "The most important thing is that the four children are all children of Bingkun and Zheng Juan, and they were born when Zheng Juan was pregnant in October. Mom, you are also a woman, how hard it is for women to have children , how dangerous it is, you must know better than me."

Jin Yueji didn't answer.

Zhou Bingyi continued: "The couple have worked so hard to raise their children to this age. You should know better than me how hard it is."

"You are also a mother. If someone wants to take Dongmei away from you, how would you feel?"

Faced with Zhou Bingyi's series of questions, Jin Yueji was speechless. She had thought of all the reasons and excuses in advance. At this moment, facing Zhou Bingyi who exceeded her expectations and played cards completely out of routine, she couldn't even say a single one. exit.

But this is not over yet, I saw Zhou Bingyi continued to say with eloquence:

"Comparing my heart to my heart, although I have never been a father, I am also a son and a big brother. If someone wants to take Bingkun and Zhou Rong away from me and call someone else's big brother, I think I will definitely not want to Yes, if someone wants to snatch me away from my parents and call them parents, I'm definitely not willing."

"Maybe there will be resentment in my heart because of it."

"and also!"

"You said that Congcong and Yueyue couldn't think of those tricks, couldn't say those set of words, but I don't think so."

"A few children can be regarded as I watched them grow up. Congcong was smart and clever since he was a child. He has a maturity and calmness far beyond his peers. Although he is young, he is well-read. He and his younger siblings The relationship is even more intimate.

If I were him, after seeing someone force my mother to adopt my younger brother, I would definitely be full of hostility towards that person and be more wary of him. "

"Words and attitude are the only way for him to protect his younger siblings from being snatched away from him."

"Although Congcong's words were a bit harsh last time, if we look at him from his perspective, we may not be able to do as well as him."

"My dad didn't know what happened back then. In that case, Congcong could let the two young ones take my dad and my mom away first, so that they wouldn't hear those words. I was taken aback by him."

"Even if what you said is correct and all make sense, merit is merit, and faults are faults. No matter how good Zhou Bingkun did in the past, it can't cover up the mistakes he made in the matter of your father.

A son would treat his father like that, but that was his father, who gave him life, brought him up through hard work, fed him, clothed him, studied for him, and gave him the opportunity to take the exam. University, the father who got ahead.

Isn't it wrong in your eyes for a son to treat his father like this?

Also, have you ever thought that Zhou Bingkun could treat his father like this today, just because your father wanted to beat him, so he drove his biological father out of the house overnight, then in the future, when his children grow up, will they be Will also learn from others, how to treat him like this? "

Jin Yueji suppressed the displeasure in her heart, and said with a gloomy face: "Parents are children's first teachers in this world. The first step for children to learn like this world is to observe and learn from their parents' words and demeanors. work."

Zhou Bingyi was a little moved, because he also thought that what Jin Yueji said was indeed reasonable, but he still said: "If this is the case, he found it himself, and he did it himself. Let him bear the corresponding consequences. gone."

But Jin Yueji persuaded her with a look of resentment: "Bingyi, this mother has to say a few words about you. You are not only Zhou Bingkun's eldest brother, you are also the children's uncle, the eldest son of your old Zhou family."

"If you want to be a good big brother, you have to think about your younger brother and sister-in-law and take care of their feelings."

"But what about the children? Have you considered them?" Jin Yueji's voice became louder and more confident: "Have you considered their future? You must know, and your old Zhou family, These children are the future of your old Zhou family."

As she spoke, Jin Yueji's emotions were unknowingly driven by her, and she became a little agitated.

Sensing the change in her own emotions, Jin Yueji helped her gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, took a few deep breaths, and quietly calmed down the violent ups and downs: "I shouldn't talk too much about these things, but I'm just Dongmei. Daughter, for a son-in-law like you, as your elder, although some words are harsh, I have to say them."

"Do you understand me when I say that?"

Zhou Bingyi was moved by Jin Yueji's words. Thinking of his previous doubts and guesses about Jin Yueji, he couldn't help feeling guilty secretly, and even scolded himself in his heart, how could he think about Jin Yueji like that.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that something was not quite right. Although Jin Yueji's words were touching, every word, every word was inseparable from Wang Zhong and the children. Thinking of this, Zhou Bingyi couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

Sometimes, being too smart is not necessarily good.

Looking at Jin Yueji, Zhou Bingyi said sincerely: "Mom! I know that you are doing it for the good of Dongmei and me. You don't want us to have no one to retire us after a hundred years. I understand you and thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Immediately, he frowned slightly, showing hesitation on his face, but after thinking about it carefully, he still hesitated, and said directly: "But there is something I have to explain to you first, no matter what, I will definitely not agree to it." Regarding the matter of adoption, Dongmei and I feel that it is actually quite good as it is now. If you are honestly worried, then we two will adopt a child back. Although it is not my Zhou family blood, as long as we change our surname That's the same."

"If you still think it's not good, let the child follow Dongmei's surname Hao Yecheng."

"Zhou Bingyi, you..." Hearing this, Jin Yueji's face instantly changed from cloudy to blue, and she raised her finger to Zhou Bingyi with an angry look on her face.

"Mom, don't meddle with Bingkun. The matter between him and my dad is not as simple as you see it. You can't explain it clearly."

Jin Yueji looked at Zhou Bingyi with hatred, shook her head and said angrily: "Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Bingyi, I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. I really misjudged you."

Zhou Bingyi's complexion changed slightly, and he took a deep breath, "Mom, I know, you must be uncomfortable. I can listen to you for other things, but this matter..."

Figures appeared in Zhou Bingyi's mind, Zhou Zhigang, Li Suhua, Wang Zhong, Zheng Juan, Zhou Rong, Feng Huacheng, and the children.

"This matter is not negotiable!" Zhou Bingyi's tone was firm and undeniable.

Looking at Jin Yueji, his eyes were full of firmness.

Jin Yueji was so watched by Zhou Bingyi that she didn't know what to say. She could have stood up and pointed at Zhou Bingyi and yelled at her, but how could Jin Yueji, who was self-confident, act like these street women who were playing tricks.

The living room fell silent in an instant.

"..."

After tidying up the kitchen, Hao Dongmei walked to the living room, vaguely feeling that the atmosphere was not quite right.

"Why don't you speak?"

Looking at Zhou Bingyi and then at Jin Yueji, both of them seemed to have normal expressions.

"Dongmei, just now Bingyi said that you plan to adopt a child?" Jin Yueji said.

Hao Dongmei glanced at Zhou Bingyi, nodded at Jin Yueji and said, "Yes! I have discussed with Bingyi for a long time. Although Bingkun and Zheng Juan's children are closer in terms of blood relationship, Bingkun and Zheng Juan are reluctant. I also don't want to force them and make the relationship stiff, and Xiaowei is more than seven years old now, if we talk about adoption now, I'm afraid Xiaowei himself won't want to."

"Instead of making the two families unhappy and making the children hate me and Bingyi, it's better for us to find a young, healthy and eye-catching child from An Xie's family who lost his parents."

"In this way, the relationship between Bingyi and Bingkun brothers will not be affected, and we can have a sustenance. Isn't it just the best of both worlds!"

Jin Yueji smiled as she watched and talked. Hao Dongmei's eyes were filled with anticipation. Even though there were thousands of words in her heart, she didn't know how to say it at the moment.

If Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were unwilling, how could she, the mother-in-law, go past them and go to Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan to let them adopt the child to Zhou Bingyi and his wife?
After being silent for a while, Jin Yueji sighed, and waved her hands with a lonely face, "I'm meddling in my own business, since you two have discussed it, then it's what you discussed, and you don't need to ask my opinion." gone."

Speaking of which, Jin Yueji had already stood up, turned around and walked towards the room, but her back was a little lonely.

The smile and anticipation on Hao Dongmei's face disappeared immediately, and Zhou Bingyi quickly winked at her, and Hao Dongmei immediately chased after her.

"mom!"

"mom!"

"..."

Sitting in the living room, Zhou Bingyi looked at the backs of his wife and mother-in-law, feeling rather complicated.

But his heart was still firm, and he didn't shake his thoughts because of it.

At noon the next day, Zhou Bingyi had already been waiting in the box of a teahouse near Wang Zhong's company for a long time.

Wearing a suit and leather shoes, Zheng Juan polished the big-toed leather shoes under his feet, Wang Zhong sat down opposite Zhou Bingyi, and asked straight to the point: "What do you want me, brother?"

Zhou Bingyi took out a teacup with a smile, picked up the teapot and poured more than half of it, and pushed the cup to Wang Zhong.

Zhou Bingyi smiled and said, "How long has it been since we two brothers sat down and talked like this?"

"I can't remember!" Wang Zhong picked up his teacup and drank it in one gulp.

"Hurry up, I'm a little short on time, and I have to go to Jichun University to participate in the preliminary design meeting in the afternoon."

But Zhou Bingyi said: "Don't worry, even if you are going to a meeting, you have to have lunch!" Then he lifted the teapot and refilled Wang Zhong's cup.

Wang Zhong didn't drink any more, and said directly: "If you really have nothing to do, I can leave."

"I think it's necessary to tell you about Dad," Zhou Bingyi said.

"What's the matter, just tell me directly!" Wang Zhong said, "It's not like you to be coy."

Zhou Bingyi sighed and told about Alzheimer's.

To Zhou Bingyi's surprise, Wang Zhong didn't show any disturbance after hearing this.

"Are you not surprised at all? Are you worried at all?" Seeing Wang Zhong's calm appearance, Zhou Bingyi asked a little angrily.

But Wang Zhong said: "If Alzheimer is really caused, no matter how surprised or worried we are, it will be useless. If not, then why are we worrying here!"

"Besides, he has moved back to the optical film anyway, and without me being in the way of him, he won't explode like a powder keg at every turn."

"Hey!" Zhou Bingyi listened, and there was nothing but a sigh.

They were three brothers and sisters, Zhou Zhigang was the only one with a hot temper in front of Wang Zhong.

"Also, if you're really worried, you should give Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng more snacks! If Zhou Rong loses her temper, she won't care about it."

Zhou Bingyi's heart trembled, and his expression became serious in an instant: "I will pay more attention."

"Okay! If you have nothing else to do, I'll go first."

"Wait!" Wang Zhonghuan was stopped by Zhou Bingyi every time he got up.

"I know you've been busy recently, so I just want to tell you about my dad so that you can know what's going on. I've come to you this time, and I want to apologize to you in person besides my dad." Zhou Bingyi suddenly His expression changed, and he spoke very seriously.

"Apologize?" Wang Zhong frowned, a little in disbelief.

"Why do you apologize?"

Zhou Bingyi looked at Wang Zhong, his eyes were open and calm, and he said sincerely: "Recently, I have thought about it for a long time, and I have thought about it a lot. You are right, I am not a competent son, let alone a competent big brother. .”

"For so many years, I have lived in Hao's house with peace of mind. I only cared about how to prove myself in front of Dongmei's parents. Most of the time I stayed in Hao's house, but I ignored my parents and you."

"What are you?" Wang Zhong couldn't believe his ears, he was really shocked by Zhou Bingyi's words, very surprised.

These words actually came from Zhou Bingyi's mouth.

But Zhou Bingyi laughed at himself: "You're right. I was cautious in my words and deeds in the Hao family. I was cautious because I was afraid that Dongmei's parents would look down on me, so I have been working hard to prove to them that I, Zhou Bingyi, are worthy of Hao Dongmei. I, Zhou Bingyi Being the son-in-law of their Hao family will not make them ashamed."

"Thinking about it now, it's because of my immature ideas that led to conflicts in our family that shouldn't have arisen."

"In order to marry Dongmei, the first thing I thought of was not to convince my parents, but to hide the fact that Dongmei was barren, and even deceive them, saying that I was barren."

Zhou Bingyi shook his head, with a somewhat remorseful expression.

"I was too indecisive and irresponsible in handling the relationship between the two families." Zhou Bingyi laughed at himself. It stands to reason that the relationship between Zhou Zhigang and Wang Zhong is so tense, and he should also be responsible for it.

"And when Dongmei and her mother took advantage of your absence, they came to ask Zheng Juan about adopting the little tail."

Zhou Bingyi sighed and said: "At the beginning, I was deceived by lard, and I acquiesced in this matter, which caused great trouble to you, Zheng Juan, and the children. It was my fault. "

Wang Zhong swallowed, looked at Zhou Bingyi in front of him, his eyes were still full of vigilance, and he couldn't help asking subconsciously, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Adoption is impossible, even if the old man and mother are on your side, it's useless." Not to mention just standing on their side, to put it bluntly, even if they are forced to die by Zhou Bingyi, Wang Zhong will definitely will not agree.

"Don't think too much, I have no other meaning."

"Dongmei and I have discussed it. Let's go to the orphanage and find a clean, healthy, young child who fits the bill."

"I promise you!" Seeing that Wang Zhong was still a bit skeptical, Zhou Zhigang raised his hand and raised three fingers, and said, "I swear, if I still think about adoption, my career will be cut off."

Seeing Zhou Bingyi's appearance, Wang Zhong finally let go of his guard: "If only you could have thought about it earlier, we wouldn't have come to where we are today."

"Hey!" Zhou Bingyi sighed, and said, "At the beginning, I was blinded by lard and only thought of myself, but I didn't consider the feelings of you and Juan'er. It was my fault."

Seeing Wang Zhong's performance, Zhou Bingyi was not surprised. Instead, he stood up with his back straight like a pine and cypress, then bent down, bowed to Wang Zhong, and said sincerely: "Bingkun, I Knowing that I did a lot of things that hurt you and Juaner before, no matter it was intentional or intangible, but it did hurt you and Juaner, I dare not ask for your forgiveness, but I just want you to know , my apology is sincere."

Wang Zhong looked at Zhou Bingyi, who bowed at ninety degrees, with a very sincere attitude, his eyes flickered for a while, and finally turned into a sigh, he stood up and stretched out his hands to help Zhou Bingyi up.

"Okay, I accept your apology."

"Thank you, Bingkun!" Zhou Bingyi's eyes were covered with mist.

The two brothers sat down again, Wang Zhong looked into Zhou Bingyi's eyes, and said in surprise, "I'm curious, with your temperament, you can actually look down and apologize to me?"

Although Wang Zhong doesn't know how to read minds, he can still tell if a person is sincere or not.

At least now Zhou Bingyi's apology is very sincere.

"The sages have said: Everyone has no faults, and if you can correct your faults, there is nothing good about it!"

"Both of us have passed half our lives, and our parents are also getting old, so why should some past events affect the future!"

"We are brothers, not enemies. If we have anything to say, we can say it. If there is anything, we can take it out and put it on the table. Let's break each word for him, crush it, and discuss it slowly. Then There is nothing more to say."

"Brother!" Wang Zhong stretched out his hand and shouted.

Their eyes met, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Zhou Bingyi also extended his hand.

The two brothers shook hands across the tea table.

Also in this smile, all previous suspicions were resolved.

After calming down, the two brothers still sat facing each other. Zhou Bingyi refilled their teacups: "Now think about it carefully! Only then will I realize how wrong I was once."

Zhou Bingyi thought of Jin Yueji, who completely subverted his previous cognition, and his naive and ridiculous thoughts back then.

"Life is alive, it's only a few decades, how can you always be immersed in the past, the past can't be pursued, but the future can be expected." Wang Zhong has never been a person who is silent in the past, Zhou Bingyi can realize his mistakes, And correct it, and he will be able to accept him.

Zhou Bingyi nodded his head, deeply convinced, then looked at Wang Zhong with emotion, and said, "Bingkun, thank you!"

"If your words hadn't woken me up, I might still be racking my brains on how to prove myself to Dongmei's mother!"

Wang Zhongdao: "Although I really want to take credit, but you can figure it out, the main reason is your own reason, and it has nothing to do with me. If you deceive yourself and others, and you are unwilling to see the truth, then even if I wear out my mouth, it will be useless." .”

Zhou Bingyi shook his head, but there was a bright smile on his face.

But Wang Zhong said: "The eyes are in the front, which tells us that people have to look forward. In a good time, we naturally base ourselves on the present and look forward to the future. How can we stay silent in the past and let those unhappy past events come to an end? Let's all go with the wind!"

Zhou Bingyi looked at Wang Zhong, who was quite high-spirited, and immediately felt a sense of pride in his chest: "Okay! Let them all go with the wind!"

"We base ourselves on the present and look forward to the future."
