The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 249 Change
As the time passed, Wang Gang and Li Suhua quickly arranged the new house and prepared everything for the wedding tomorrow.

Originally, Wang Gang wanted to go to Zheng Juan's house to see if he needed help.

Li Suhua refused to let him go, saying that the day before the wedding, the bride and groom should not meet each other.

Wang Gang had no choice but to wait patiently at home.

Zhou Zhigang had come back from old Zhangtou's house and was sitting at the dining table smoking a cigarette. It seemed that he was not in a very good mood.

After Wang Gang thought about it, he still took the initiative to say to Zhou Zhigang: "Dad, you are back!"

Zhou Zhigang nodded with a sullen face, then pointed to the chair, motioning for him to sit down.

"I talked to the old Zhangtou. After the Chinese New Year, he will go through the transfer procedures with you, and then return to his hometown in the countryside."

Wang Gang had expected a long time ago that Zhou Zhigang would not be able to change Lao Zhangtou's decision.

"Lao Zhangtou and I are about the same time. We both came from the countryside. At that time, we only wanted to make a home in the city. Fast forward 30 years, and I didn't expect him to go back again."

For Zhou Zhigang's generation, returning to the countryside has special significance.

Thirty years ago, Zhou Zhigang came to Jichun from the countryside with the dream of becoming a leader and became a worker.

His lifelong dream is to change from a rural person to a city person, which is the wish of almost everyone in the older generation.

Zhou Zhigang is lucky. With his hardworking and studious qualities, he successfully settled in the city and allowed his three children to receive a good education, especially Zhou Bingyi, who Zhou Zhigang set high expectations on.

What happened to the old Zhangtou made Zhou Zhigang very sad. He worried that one day, his old Zhou's family would be like the old Zhangtou.

"Dad, in fact, it may not be a good thing for Lao Zhang to go back to his hometown. As I said before, he can no longer survive in the city, and he still has a chance to go back." Wang Gang comforted Zhou Zhigang.

"What do you mean by not being able to survive? Back then, the conditions of Lao Zhangtou and I were even worse than they are now, so we settled down in the city." Zhou Zhigang said angrily.

"One moment and another moment." Wang Gang shook his head and said, "The old Zhangtou 30 years ago was young and in good health, and he could endure no matter how hard or tired he was.

But now he is almost 60 years old, and it is difficult to do odd jobs in the city. It is impossible for him to start again like 30 years ago. "

Zhou Zhigang said unconvinced: "What is impossible, as long as you have hands and feet, you will not die of hunger."

Wang Gang sighed: "Thirty years ago, Lao Zhangtou was young, ambitious, aggressive, daring to fight and take risks.

Thirty years later, the trials and tribulations of life have worn away his drive, and the shock of losing his son cut off his only hope. "

Zhou Zhigang looked at Wang Gang in surprise, and said, "Doesn't he still have a grandson?"

"The grandson's serious illness was the last water that poured out old Zhang's head, and made him realize that he was unable to support his only blood." Wang Gang said.

Zhou Zhigang suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"He asked his daughter-in-law to remarry with the child, gave you the house, and returned to his hometown by himself. Could it be that he is going to..." Zhou Zhigang opened his mouth wide.

"Yes, he wants to go back to his hometown, return the fallen leaves to their roots, and end his life." Wang Gang regretted.

"No, I'm going to stop him." Zhou Zhigang stood up, but just as he wanted to get up, Wang Gang grabbed him.

"Dad, it's useless for you to go. He really wants to die, and you can't stop him."

Zhou Zhigang cursed angrily: "Nie Zhan, Lao Zhangtou is an elder who watched you grow up, are you just watching him seek death?"

Wang Gang sighed: "It is precisely because we are too close to him that we should not go. Have you considered his feelings?"

Zhou Zhigang asked puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"

Wang Gang sighed and said: "My Zhou family came to the optical film at about the same time as him, and they all came from the countryside. The Zhang family is getting worse and worse, but our Zhou family is getting better and better.

How would you feel if you were an old man? "

Zhou Zhigang quickly understood what his son meant.

"You mean, old Zhang is jealous of our family?" Zhou Zhigang couldn't believe it.

"Jealousy is for sure, and shame is more." Wang Gang shook his head and said, "In fact, the last thing old Zhang wants to see is probably our Zhou family."

Zhou Zhigang sat down dejectedly, staring blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking for a moment.

"Now the only ones who can save old Zhang are not you and me, but her daughter-in-law and grandson." Wang Gang said again.

"I went to the hospital yesterday to look for his daughter-in-law, talked to her, and told her about the old Zhang's plan to commit suicide."

Zhou Zhigang raised his head in surprise, and looked at the calm young son in front of him.

"His daughter-in-law has already decided not to remarry, but to bring the child back to the countryside with Lao Zhangtou, and raise the child no matter how hard or tiring she is.

The grandson is now the only one who can keep Lao Zhangtou alive. "

Zhou Zhigang didn't dare to believe it: "Have you done so much for Lao Zhangtou?"

"After all, he is an elder who watched me grow up. If he can help, I will definitely help." Wang Gang said firmly.

Zhou Zhigang patted Wang Gang on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Bingkun, you have really grown up."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "I am 20 years old this year. Of course I have grown up. I will marry a wife tomorrow."

Zhou Zhigang said: "Bingkun, I thought that your elder brother would be the most promising person in our family, but today I think you are."

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and said, "Dad, when I was away, did you say the same thing as elder brother?"

Zhou Zhigang became angry from embarrassment: "Bastard, what are you talking about?"

The two father and son could finally sit down and talk calmly.

The two chatted about how to help old Zhangtou, and Zhou Zhigang even decided to lend another 200 yuan to old Zhangtou.

Li Suhua watched the two father and son chat until midnight, worried that it would affect their wedding tomorrow, so he sent Wang Gang to bed forcibly.

Zhou Zhigang looked at the back of Wang Gang going out, and couldn't help sighing to his wife: "Old woman, Bingkun has changed a lot in the past three years."

Li Suhua laughed and said, "Is it better or worse."

Zhou Zhigang shook his head and said, "It's changed so much that I can't see him clearly."

Li Suhua was puzzled and said: "You are an old man, don't you know your own son?"

Zhou Zhigang sat cross-legged on the kang and lit a cigarette for himself.

"Of the three children in our family, the eldest is Bingyi, he is sensible since he was a child, and he studies hard. I thought he had the best future, so I let him go out and make his own way.

The second child, Zhou Rong, I had high hopes for her too, but it's a pity that she is too ignorant to say anything.

The third child, Bingkun, has been mischievous since he was a child, and he doesn't like to study. My original idea was to keep him by my side, take care of him on weekdays, and provide for us in the future. "

Li Suhua was puzzled and said, "Why don't you let Bingyi, who is the most promising, retire?"

Zhou Zhigang said: "The child is promising, so we shouldn't stop him and become his hindrance. Bingyi will develop better if he leaves us."

Li Suhua said in a low voice: "It's because we are incompetent as parents and drag the children down."

Zhou Zhigang put his arms around his wife and said, "It's not a drag, the main thing is that we can't help Bingyi, so we won't make trouble for him."

Li Suhua said: "Bingkun is actually very good, especially in the three years since you left, he has changed a lot."

Zhou Zhigang sighed, "That's right! He doesn't look like my son anymore."

Li Suhua hit Zhou Zhigang on the chest and said, "He is not your son, but whose son."

Zhou Zhigang said with a smile: "I didn't mean that, it's just that Bing Kun has become too good now, disrupting my original idea.

Now I kind of want Bingkun to go out and make a breakthrough by myself, maybe the person who can change my old Zhou family class is him. "

Li Suhua kept a sullen face and didn't speak, because she didn't want to leave her son.

These three years of companionship had already made Li Suhua used to Wang Gang's care, and Li Suhua was reluctant to let his son go out to spread his wings and fly high.

"I'll talk about it later, anyway, he can't do without Jichun now." Li Suhua said perfunctorily.

Zhou Zhigang didn't hear anything wrong in his wife's tone, he kept thinking about the children and couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, Wang Gang woke up early, so he didn't go out to exercise, but put on the clothes he had prepared earlier, and went to pick up the bride in a hurry.

Xiao Guoqing, Sun Chanchao, and Qiao Chunyan stood at the gate of Zhou's house early in the morning.

The group happily went to Taiping Hutong. Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua were at home, also wearing new clothes, waiting for their future daughter-in-law to come in.

In this era of marriage, there are not so many red tapes, and more people get together to celebrate.

When they arrived at Zheng Juan's house, there was no blocking the door. Zheng Juan's family of three sat quietly on the kang, waiting for Wang Gang and the others to come over.

As soon as he entered the room, Wang Gang saw Zheng Juan.

Today, Zheng Juan dressed up a bit, wearing a red dress, her two braids were untied, her hair was coiled up, giving her the charm of a mature woman.
