Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 165 Couple’s Night Talk
Zhouhai had already entered winter in December, and with the arrival of a cold wave, the damp and cold air seemed to be a magical factor that penetrated every pore, making people feel numb all over.

Even Li Guiqin, who has always been hardworking, gave up going out and stayed at home to avoid the cold.

Of course, in addition to avoiding the cold, staying at home with her husband is also one of the reasons.

Comrade Lao Zhou's boat is being repaired, so it is a rare opportunity for him to go home and stay for two days. Li Guiqin has also tried to reduce the number of times she goes out and cherish this rare time of reunion.

And the other most important reason is that her son Zhou Hao is on a variety show today, and as a mother, she naturally cannot miss it.

At six o'clock in the evening, after dinner and washing the dishes, Li Guiqin came to the living room carrying a basin of washed fruit.

"Hey, stop reading that tattered newspaper of yours. My son's show is about to start."

"What's so good about that? It's all just a script to fool people." Old Zhou frowned and said, "Besides, it hasn't even started yet, has it?"

"Ah, you are such a boring person." Li Guiqin said dissatisfiedly: "After all, this is my son's first time on a TV show. You are really ruining the fun."

"I'm just telling you, he doesn't know about it." Lao Zhou said stubbornly, but he still quietly folded the newspaper in his hand.

Li Guiqin smiled and said, "Please don't say that in front of him. The child is successful now and his career is flourishing. Don't discourage him!"

"I know, I know. You've said it several times." Zhou Jianhua said unhappily, "It's just buying a villa. Look how you care about it and won't let me say a word."

"Oh, oh, oh, just a villa? That's so easy for you to say!" Li Guiqin said angrily: "You are so capable, why don't you build me one too!"

Zhou Jianhua remained silent.

Money is the symbol of a man's courage. He has been sailing all his life but has never made much money, so it is natural that he cannot be tough at this time.

Besides, it was just a daily bickering between the two of them, there was no need to take it seriously.

Li Guiqin also knew what kind of character her husband had. She stuffed an apple into his mouth and said with a sly smile, "Even if you don't come to see your son, you must go see that girl named Xu Lingyue. Maybe the child will bring her back someday!"

"The one who sings?" Zhou Jianhua frowned and asked, "Does she like your son?"

"What are you talking about?!" Li Guiqin was unhappy, and raised her eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with our son? He has good looks, good character, a good career, a car, a house, and savings. If these conditions were put on the blind date market, those girls would be so greedy that they would die!"

Zhou Jianhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "But she is a big star after all. She is definitely better than our son in terms of career and assets. A relationship where the woman is strong and the man is weak is prone to discord!"

"You are just a male chauvinist. What era is this?" Li Guiqin curled her lips in disdain. "Besides, that girl's career is on the decline, while our son is on the rise. I guess he will be transferred in less than two years!"

Zhou Jianhua nodded and opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Having been married for decades, Li Guiqin knew what he wanted to say at a glance, "Do you have any opinion about her profession?"

Zhou Jianhua didn't say anything, but this was the best answer.

"I was worried before, after all, everyone says that the entertainment industry is dirty and messy, but then I checked carefully, this girl is very decent, unlike those messy ones. I searched the Internet for so long, and I have never heard of her having any scandals with anyone!"

"Also, when Zhejiang Province was hit by a typhoon, this girl actually went to the poor mountainous areas to provide disaster relief and stayed there for nearly half a month... How could ordinary celebrities be so humble?" "And the last time she came to Zhouhai, I saw with my own eyes that she was polite and well-educated, without any celebrity airs at all. It can be seen that she has good family education."

"Besides, her grandparents are also very nice people. From what they say, they are also very satisfied with our son..."

After listening to Li Guiqin chattering on for a long time, Zhou Jianhua couldn't help but chuckle.

You really treat her as your future daughter-in-law.

But the problem is... you were the only one who was too enthusiastic from the beginning to the end!
"Laugh, laugh, laugh. Just laugh." Li Guiqin rolled her eyes and said, "Anyway, I really like that girl."

"What's the point of you liking her?" Zhou Jianhua shook his head and smiled, "The key is that the girl herself doesn't have that intention, otherwise how could she run away from home?"

"That's hard to say." Li Guiqin snorted, "Everyone is a bit mean in their bones. You don't know how important some things and some people are to you until you lose them."

This time Zhou Jianhua did not refute, but ate the apple in silence.

Obviously, the couple had a story when they were young...

After a long silence, Li Guiqin suddenly sighed and said, "After the New Year, why don't you just quit your job on the ship? You are old now, it's time to enjoy a peaceful life."

Seeing that Zhou Jianhua was about to stick his neck out, she immediately interrupted, "Even if you don't want to enjoy yourself, you should think about me, right? You've been wandering around outside for so many years, and your son is either studying or teaching, and I'm always the only one at home... If I die at home one day, no one will know!"

"Just think of it as coming back to keep me company, okay?"

Zhou Jianhua said nothing and just lowered his head to eat the apple.

"In the past, our family was in financial difficulty and we needed you to go out and work hard to make money. But now our son is making a lot of money, so we don't need you to go out and hang around anymore!"

"I know you're stubborn and don't want to suck your son's blood, but you can be flexible and find an easier job locally, or start a business and open a small shop. You can go home and reunite with your family every day. Isn't that great?"

"If you keep on wandering around like this, and your son really brings a girl home, and you're not at home, and your son is getting married and having a wedding banquet, maybe you're still wandering around outside...what are you going to do then?"

Zhou Jianhua stopped chewing the apple and lowered his head into deep thought.

Seeing that it was working, Li Guiqin continued, "At my son's age, it will probably only be a few years before he gets married and has children. By then, I can't be the only one running around, right?"

"Besides, the child can earn tens of millions a year now, but you, as a father, still go sailing every day... How will people look at the child if this gets out? People who don't know will think he is unfilial!"

Hearing this, Zhou Jianhua was finally moved.

He may not care about other things, but he cannot take it lightly when it comes to his son's reputation.

"I'll think about it." After holding it in for a long time, Zhou Jianhua finally took a step back. "No matter what, we have to finish this year's work first."

"Okay, then you think about it carefully." Li Guiqin smiled with relief, "It seems that the show is about to start, let's watch our son's first TV show first!"
