Chapter 1603 Danger and Opportunity

Zhou Bingkun did not meet Zheng Juan again in this life, because Suning's sudden appearance changed a lot of the plot. Now Zhou Bingkun almost forgot about Tu Ziqiang.

After seeing Yu Hong, Zhou's mother also felt quite satisfied. In fact, she did not have too high expectations for Zhou Bingkun. She just wanted him to marry a girl whom she knew well.

Originally, Zhou's mother was very optimistic about the girl next door, Qiao Chunyan, but unfortunately Zhou Bingkun was useless and gave Qiao Chunyan to Cao Debao. She never expected that there would be a silver lining after all, and soon a more gentle Yu Hong appeared.

Although Yu Hong's family conditions were not as good as those of the Qiao family, whom she knew well, she was still a virgin with a clean background. Mother Zhou thought about it and agreed to the marriage.

On the Lantern Festival in 1973, Zhou Bingkun took Yu Hong to the street office to get a marriage certificate, and Zhou's mother happily prepared a large table of delicious food.

On weekdays, everyone who is close to the Zhou family would come to the banquet, and Suning was of course fortunate to be invited to attend. Suning also presented a considerable gift.

At the dinner table, Aunt Qiao naturally felt a little unhappy. According to her plan, Zhou Bingkun and Qiao Chunyan should be a couple, but unfortunately...

However, Qiao Chunyan herself did not think so much about it, mainly because she knew clearly that Zhou Bingkun did not like her. Instead of continuing to pester Zhou Bingkun, it would be better to turn around and accept Cao Debao, who was in love with her.

At this time, Su Ning congratulated the bride and groom meaningfully, "Zhou Bingkun, Yu Hong, congratulations on your marriage."

"Brother Binzi, thank you." At this time, Zhou Bingkun and Yu Hong naturally hurried to express their gratitude.

Then, Suning looked at the two people in front of him meaningfully and gave them his blessing, "I believe that husband and wife should be one. When encountering difficulties, they should support each other and work together. I hope you can grow old together and have children soon."

"Thank you."

At this time, Zhou's mother Li Suhua looked at Su Ning thoughtfully and said, "Binzi, I see that you are much older than Bingkun. You must help Bingkun more in the future!"

"Auntie, don't worry! In fact, I have always regarded Bingkun as my younger brother. If he encounters any difficulties in the future, I will definitely not stand idly by." Suning naturally had the attitude of "everyone carries the sedan chair for him."

"Haha, okay! Binzi, then auntie will toast you too."

"Auntie, this is unacceptable! I, the younger generation, should be the one respecting you."

"Binzi, I heard you're married too?"

"I'm married! My wife's name is Zheng Juan, and she's already over three months pregnant."

"very nice."

"Auntie, don't worry! You will definitely have a grandson by the end of the year."

"Haha, then I'll count on your good wishes."

Ever since Zhou Bingkun and Yu Hong got married, their life has been simple and happy.

Sure enough, Suning's words came true. At the end of 1973, Yu Hong gave birth to a son, and Zhou Bingkun happily named him Zhou Cong.

In August of 1973, Zheng Juan gave birth to a son for Su Ning, but Su Ning named the child Luo Bing.

In the next three years, Suning worked steadily in the soy sauce factory, and occasionally went to the black market to sell some scarce materials. However, the goods obtained through illegal means were taken to other places for sale. In this way, Suning was secretly accumulating his own strength.

In three years, Zheng Juan gave birth to a son and a daughter for Suning. Suning simply stopped letting Zheng's mother sell popsicles and instead took the children to his home to take care of them.

Because of Suning's appearance, Zheng's mother's health became stronger and stronger, and she did not die suddenly from illness as in the original drama.

Shui Ziliu looked at Su Ning in front of him with some confusion and asked, "Binzi, why don't you sell such good goods in Jichun?"

"Brother Shui, you don't need to know so much, and don't remember this matter, understand?" However, Suning solemnly instructed Shui Ziliu.

"Huh? I see." Shui Ziliu also realized that this matter was not simple. Then he looked at Su Ning in front of him and told him a piece of news, "Our friends in Hayang want more goods. The price is negotiable."

"No more! The goods I have have been distributed."

"Eh? Well! It's a shame to think about it."

Time quickly came to 1976. In that year, Qu Xiuzhen also lost her job. After finding out Qu Xiuzhen's residence, Zhou Bingkun, Cao Debao and Lu Chuan went to see Qu Xiuzhen.

Qu Xiuzhen was very concerned about the studies of the three of them and was grateful that he could come and visit her at this time.

During the Spring Festival of that year, Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei also came back. They were very surprised to see the chubby Zhou Cong, especially when they saw that Yu Hong's belly had grown bigger again. Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, who were unable to have children, were full of envy.

Now the Zhou family is eagerly waiting for Zhou Rong to come back. Hao Dongmei has also become the women's director of the village where the educated youth are located. The whole family is happy for her, but Hao Dongmei's parents have not found a job since they came back.

Zhou Zhigang asked Hao Dongmei to tell her parents to be at ease, everything will be over, and nothing will happen.

Then Zhou Bingkun washed his father's feet, and Zhou's mother kept talking about the hard work and difficulties of Zhou Bingkun and Yu Hong.

At this moment, Zhou Zhigang looked at his youngest son and daughter-in-law with a face full of satisfaction, "Bingkun, Yu Hong, you two are both heroes of our Zhou family."

"Dad, look at what you said. You are the hero of our Zhou family. If you hadn't worked so hard in Chongqing, our Zhou family wouldn't be so well off." Zhou Bingkun said sweetly to Zhou Zhigang while flattering him.

"Haha, you're really different now that you're a father. The impression I have of you is still the same silly-looking you were when you first left."

"Dad, I'll grow up one day too."

"Well, I'll feel at ease with you at home from now on."

Zhou Bingkun was naturally very happy to be recognized by his father Zhou Zhigang, and he washed Zhou Zhigang's feet with more force.

Of course, no matter how many children he has, they are all children in front of Zhou Zhigang and always want to get Zhou Zhigang's approval.

At night, Zhou Zhigang hugged his sleeping grandson Zhou Cong, and his heart felt as happy as if he had drunk honey.

Especially the milky fragrance emanating from Zhou Cong, the tough and tender Zhou Zhigang didn't want to leave.

At this time, Zhou's mother came to the kang in her son's room with a bedding roll, wanting to chat with her eldest son Zhou Bingyi, and also to make room for Zhou Zhigang and grandson Zhou Cong to be alone.

Zhou Bingyi told his mother all his thoughts. His mother was happy for Zhou Bingyi and his wife, and hoped that they could have a child as soon as possible.

However, Zhou Bingyi was unable to tell his mother about the pain in his heart. Even Hao Dongmei beside him turned around sadly and cried silently. Then Zhou's mother once again expressed her longing for her son. The mother and son held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, but their hearts were filled with sweetness and warmth.

……

On New Year's Eve, everyone gathered together to celebrate the reunion. Zhou's mother put away the bacon and canned food, hoping that Zhou Rong could take them away when she came back. No one objected.

Now Hao Dongmei is allowed to visit her parents. Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi are leaving tomorrow. Zhou's mother regrets that Zhou Rong has not returned yet and the family has not been reunited.

Hao Dongmei blamed herself for her mistakes, but Zhou Zhigang expressed his understanding. He thought that Hao Dongmei's parents had finally allowed her to visit, so she should go visit first and then come back. He also hoped that Hao Dongmei could say hello on their behalf, which made Hao Dongmei very grateful.

Before leaving, Zhou Bingyi went out with Zhou Bingkun to talk about some of his personal matters, and then told Zhou Bingkun that Hao Dongmei accidentally fell into the well while fetching water. It was during her menstrual period at that time. Since then, Hao Dongmei has been diagnosed with infertility.

However, Zhou Bingyi did not tell his parents about this and placed all his hopes on Zhou Bingkun. But now that he sees the child in Zhou Cong and Yu Hong's belly, he no longer has too many hopes and desires.

After Zhou Bingyi left, Zhou Zhigang also left home. Zhou's mother felt sorry for her husband and kept stuffing food into his bag.

When Zhou Zhigang saw his wife crying, he snuggled up to her back and promised to take all his wife's love away.

Zhou Bingkun saw Zhou Zhigang off. In the car, Zhou Zhigang praised Zhou Bingkun again, and asked Zhou Bingkun to take good care of Zhou's mother, and asked his son to treat Yu Hong, a hero of the Zhou family, well.

After Zhou Bingkun returned, he met Qiao Chunyan. Qiao Chunyan told Zhou Bingkun that Cao Debao had actually gotten into her bed that day, but nothing happened. She had fallen in love with Cao Debao and wanted to blame it on him.

……

News also came that Zhou Rong from Guizhou would not be back until March. Zhou's mother was relieved and took out some bacon for Zhou Bingkun to eat. Zhou Bingkun suggested freezing it while waiting for Zhou Rong to come back.

However, Zhou's mother felt sorry for Yu Hong and the child, so she hardened her heart and kept the bacon. Sure enough, three-year-old Zhou Cong ate it with his mouth full of oil. No matter how good her daughter was, she could not compare to her precious grandson.

Soon it was time for the annual gathering again. Friends gathered together for dinner, and the young people all looked particularly happy.

Lu Chuan wrote a letter from the capital to express his condolences to everyone. He said that he was studying very well in another place. Originally, this learning opportunity should have gone to Zhou Bingkun, but a martyr suddenly appeared in Lu Chuan's family, so Lu Chuan was given priority to study.

Lu Chuan also discussed the current situation in the letter. Qiao Chunyan snatched the letter and put it in the stove to burn it, claiming that there was a meeting at the higher-ups and some content could no longer be discussed. She also asked everyone to remember not to communicate with Lu Chuan in the future. No one had ever seen this letter.

Mr. Shao, the editor of Golden Land Magazine, came to the house hoping to meet the poet Feng Huacheng. Before Zhou Zhigang left, he specifically told Zhou Bingkun to tell Feng Huacheng to treat his colleagues at the newspaper well. This incident also made Zhou's mother feel very proud. When Zhou's mother and Zhou Bingkun were waiting for Zhou Rong to arrive at home, Zhou Zhigang's apprentice Xiao Guo suddenly came to the door and brought Zhou Rong's daughter Feng Yueyue. Zhou's mother was afraid that something might have happened and hurried to ask about it.

Zhou Rong asked Xiao Guo to bring a letter because she was delayed by something and could not come back, so she asked Xiao Guo to send the child first. Xiao Guo also took the local specialties brought by Zhou Rong and deposited them at the train station. Xiao Guo took Zhou Bingkun to get the things.

I also learned from Xiao Guo that the train had a problem when passing through a small station, and everyone got off the train to rest.

Feng Huacheng wrote another poem to commemorate the sage and wanted to read it out, but Xiao Guo sensitively reminded Feng Huacheng that there were notices in newspapers warning against interference in struggles.

However, the poet Feng Huacheng believed that the poems he wrote had nothing to do with Zhengzhi. In front of everyone, Feng Huacheng read out the poem. Unexpectedly, many people liked it and scrambled to copy the poem, which caused chaos and alarmed the station security personnel. Feng Huacheng stood up and admitted that the incident was caused by him.

Feng Huacheng was captured. Seeing that the train was about to arrive, Zhou Rong had no choice but to entrust Feng Yueyue to Xiao Guo, while she stayed to find Feng Huacheng.

If this fight is defined as a political struggle, Feng Huacheng may not be able to come back. Hearing what Xiao Guo said, Zhou Bingkun became very nervous and returned home in a depressed mood.

Zhou Bingkun's absent-minded appearance attracted the attention of Zhou's mother and Yu Hong.

Under Zhou's mother's questioning, Zhou Bingkun almost told the truth, but he held back his tears and explained that he accidentally broke the egg. Only then did Zhou's mother feel relieved.

However, Zhou Bingkun still told Yu Hong about this matter, because he was particularly eager to have someone listen. "Yu Hong, do you think you should tell our mother about this?"

"No! This matter must be kept secret from our mother. We must not tell her a single word of it." However, Yu Hong rationally stopped Zhou Bingkun.

"Why?" As expected, the naive Zhou Bingkun still didn't quite understand.

"Idiot! Mom has always been most worried about Aunt Zhou Cong. If she knew about this, she would definitely think too much and say that Aunt Zhou Cong's unit sent her back to school again."

"Hey! All right!"

Soon Zhou Rong called Zhou Bingkun and told him that it was just an ordinary fight. Although those people were fighting because of Feng Huacheng, Feng Huacheng himself did not take action, so the matter was not serious.

At this time, Zhou Bingkun undoubtedly felt particularly fortunate. Fortunately, he followed Yu Hong's advice and did not tell Zhou's mother, otherwise it would only cause Zhou's mother more worries.

Soon Zhou Rong sent another letter, telling Zhou Bingkun that the incident at the train station was classified as a personal fight, and Feng Huacheng was fine. Someone from the unit went to inform Zhou Rong specifically.

Zhou Rong promised that once Feng Huacheng returned, the family would come to pick up Feng Yueyue.

One day, Mr. Shao, the editor of Golden Land Magazine, came to Zhou Bingkun again. This issue of the magazine was a special issue commemorating a certain predecessor. Mr. Shao was worried that Feng Huacheng would not be able to catch up with this special issue if he did not come back.

Zhou Bingkun remembered Feng Huacheng's poem and provided it to Mr. Shao. It happened to be a poem in memory of this sage. Golden Land published the poem the next day, causing quite a stir.

Then the situation suddenly changed. Although Feng Huacheng was released, he did not return home. Instead, he followed many people to the capital, and it was said that he was arrested.

After receiving the news, Zhou Rong immediately went out and called Cai Xiaoguang, telling him the current situation at home and asking Cai Xiaoguang to convey to Zhou Bingkun and his mother that she could not go back recently. However, she asked Zhou Bingkun not to tell his mother about Feng Huacheng, as she was worried that his mother would get sick.

At the same time, Zhou Rong also hopes that Cai Xiaoguang will take care of Zhou Bingkun to the best of his ability.

After Zhou Bingkun learned about the matter from Cai Xiaoguang, he became a little nervous, fearing that something serious had happened to Feng Huacheng.

That night, Zhou Bingkun told Yu Hong about the incident again, but this time Yu Hong was scared because she was afraid that she would be arrested.

Yu Hong felt that this matter was very serious. "Bingkun, why don't you go out and hide?"

"Ah? Then what about my job? What about my family?" Sure enough, Zhou Bingkun seemed a little hesitant.

However, Yu Hong clearly stated her own judgment, "Bingkun, this matter is different from the last time. You might be fired from your job one day. We still need to prepare for the worst."

"But...but where can I hide?"

"Go find Luo Shibin. I think he will have a solution."

"Okay then! I'll go find Brother Binzi now."

Then Zhou Bingkun left the Zhou family in a panic, and then hurriedly found Su Ning's house, and then briefly explained the matter to Su Ning.

At this moment, Su Ning had a good idea in mind, or it could be said that Su Ning had been planning for a long time. "Bingkun, your case is indeed a troublesome one. Jail is the lightest punishment."

"This..." Sure enough, Zhou Bingkun was frightened by Suning again.

However, Su Ning looked at Zhou Bingkun meaningfully and asked, "Bingkun, do you want to go to jail and be killed or hide out?"

"Brother Binzi, I came to see you this time because I wanted to go out and hide."

"Bingkun, how about going to the south with me and trying your luck?"

"Ah? Going south?"

"Yes! Actually, I've always wanted to go to the South to try my luck, and now is a good opportunity."

"Brother Binzi, do you really want to go so far? What about my mother, wife and children?"

"Idiot! What's the point of us being on the verge of death in the soy sauce factory now? And if you go to jail, won't your mother and wife be even more worried about you?"

"This……"

"Bingkun, let's go out into the world with our brothers! It's time to let others know about our brotherhood."

"Brother Binzi, I'll listen to you then."

"Well, go home now and tell your mother that you're going on a business trip to Beijing, and then bring less luggage to meet me at my house. I'll go call another good brother."

"Okay! Do you want to bring some money?"

"No! It's better to leave it to your wife and mother to support the family. I have all the funds here."

"it is good."

Then Zhou Bingkun went back in a hurry to pack his luggage, and Su Ning turned back and gave Zheng Juan a brief explanation, and told Zheng Juan where he hid the money.

"Juan'er, I have something to do and I have to go out for a while. I left a thousand yuan under the kang in my house in Taiping Hutong."

"Brother Binzi, what happened?"

"Nothing! I just want to go to the south and try my luck, and earn some extra money for you and the kids."

"Brother Binzi, isn't life good now?"

"What's good about that? This salary is not enough for our family's expenses. When the Luo Bing brothers and sisters grow up, there will be more and more places to spend money. Of course, I have to create a family business for them."

"Is there any danger?"

"There's no danger at all! Don't you know me well enough? I won't do anything rash unless it's absolutely certain."

"Brother Binzi, you must take good care of yourself and stay safe."

"Juan'er, stay home with our mother and Guangming to take good care of the children. When our family becomes rich, I will take you to the south to enjoy a good life."

"Ah."

Zhou Bingkun gave all the money in the passbook to Yu Hong and asked her to use it as she wished.

If the money in this passbook is used up, just look for the one in his mother's. Zhou Bingkun entrusted the household to Yu Hong and told her not to tell relatives far away unless something catastrophic happened at home.

Of course, Zhou Bingkun also told his mother Li Suhua that he was going on a business trip to Beijing, and said that he would be back in half a year at most, and asked his mother and Yu Hong to take good care of the child.

Then Zhou Bingkun said goodbye to his family and left the Zhou family with his luggage. Sure enough, Suning had found Shui Ziliu, but Shui Ziliu had been waiting for this day for many years.
