Chapter 776 Free and Easy
Li Suhua and Zheng Juan counted the money with a smile on their faces until their hands cramped. Only then did they reluctantly put down the huge pile of money. Then Li Suhua looked at Su Ning in surprise and explained, "Kun'er, here are 9,800 yuan in total. How do you think we should spend so much money?"

"Mom, why are you the same as Juan'er? She is also worried that she won't be able to spend all the money." Hearing that Li Suhua had the same worry as Zheng Juan, Su Ning couldn't help but reveal a ridiculous expression.

"Hehe." At this time, Li Suhua also realized the wild thoughts of herself and Zheng Juan.

"Mom, Bingkun said that we should demolish our old house and build a house in the small courtyard in front. It will be a two-story Western-style building. When our family comes back, it will have room for them to live there. As for the remaining money, we can keep it for self-defense." Zheng Juan smiled and explained to Li Suhua.

"Good! Good! Bingkun's father will be back this year, so it's a good time to arrange your wedding and discuss building a house with him." Li Suhua was of course very satisfied with the decision of her son and daughter-in-law, and thought of discussing it carefully after Zhou Zhigang came back.

"Mom, this house is still built too late, otherwise we could give my dad and my brother a surprise." At this moment, Su Ning couldn't help but think of the "shock" he gave Zhou Zhigang when he traveled through time last time.

"It's not too late! Building a house is such a big thing, you should discuss it with your father and others, right?" Li Suhua insisted on her opinion. Zhou Zhigang, the head of the family, must make the decision.

"Too!"

In fact, Suning is also particularly curious about whether Zhou Zhigang will return to Jichun this year. You know, in the original drama, Zhou Zhigang was originally preparing to return to Jichun, but he suddenly changed his itinerary and went to Guizhou to see his daughter. After all, he really couldn't let go of his stubborn daughter, and he was also a little curious about the old son-in-law he had never met. This time, Suning kept influencing Zhou Zhigang subtly. I wonder if his choice this time will change.

At this time, Zhou Zhigang, who was far away in Chongqing, was indeed thinking about this problem. The letters he received from Suning every month really made him miss home, and also made him think that he knew the situation of the Zhou family in Jichun very well. In contrast, Zhou Rong seldom wrote to him, and Zhou Zhigang had never met the old son-in-law who was a poet. So this time he chose to go directly to Guizhou to visit his daughter and son-in-law without hesitation, otherwise he would still not let go of his worry about his daughter.

"Mom, my dad wrote back saying that he won't be coming back this year. He's going to Guizhou to visit my sister Zhou Rong and that Feng Huacheng." Soon Su Ning received the letter from Chongqing, but Su Ning was depressed to find that some people are really hard to change.

"Ah? That's great! I was also a little worried about your sister. It seems that your father has considered everything carefully." At this time, Li Suhua very much supported Zhou Zhigang's approach, because she was also worried about her daughter who was far away in Guizhou.

"Mom, you won't be able to see my dad again this time. You may have to wait three years before you have the chance again."

"It's okay! As long as your sister is safe, it's worrying that Zhou Rong is alone in Guizhou." Li Suhua looked at her youngest son indifferently and said.

"Mom, my dad also said that Zheng Juan and I can decide our own marriage, and if the family doesn't have enough money, building a house can be postponed." Seeing that Li Suhua also supported Zhou Zhigang's decision, Suning continued to introduce the next content.

"Hey! Juan'er, your dad has to go to Guizhou to visit your sister Zhou Rong, and can't come back to preside over your and Bingkun's wedding. You must not hate your dad, okay?" At this time, Li Suhua looked at Zheng Juan beside her with a face full of shame, feeling that doing so was too unfair to her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, my dad is so busy in the "Third Front" and he only has a chance to take a vacation once every three years, so I won't blame my dad or anything." Zheng Juan shook her head understandingly and didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, it was indeed worrying that Zhou Rong went to Guizhou alone.

"Juan'er, you are so kind! It is really a gift from God that our family can marry you as a daughter-in-law." Seeing that Zheng Juan was very understanding of her and Zhou Zhigang's longing for their daughter, Li Suhua couldn't help but feel relieved and held Zheng Juan's hand.

"Mom, now you don't think about Qiao Chunyan anymore, right?" Seeing that Li Suhua was becoming more and more satisfied with Zheng Juan as her daughter-in-law, Suning thought of Qiao Chunyan.

"You bastard, why do you mention Qiao Chunyan for no reason? And Qiao Chunyan is about to get married. You should try to stay away from her in the future. As long as you can live a stable life with Juan'er, that's enough." Li Suhua was in a good mood at the moment, but was suddenly upset by her son's words.

"Get married? Who is Qiao Chunyan going to marry?" Su Ning looked at Li Suhua with confusion and asked.

"I don't know him! His name seems to be Cao Bao. I heard he was a worker at the Songhua River Soy Sauce Factory." Li Suhua thought about it in confusion, and then explained uncertainly.

"Cao Debao?" Su Ning didn't expect to hear this name again in this life. You know, in the original drama, it was he who introduced Cao Debao and Qiao Chunyan to each other.

"Bingkun, do you know this guy named Cao Debao?" Li Suhua couldn't help but feel curious when she noticed that her son had a playful expression.

"Huh? I don't know him either! I just heard someone mention him."

"Bingkun, I know you and Chunyan have always been very close, but they are married now, and you have to live a good life with Zheng Juan." Although Li Suhua has always seemed to be indifferent to worldly affairs, she had long noticed that something was going on between Su Ning and Qiao Chunyan.

"Mom, I've always known about Bingkun and Qiao Chunyan. I agree that Bingkun should take care of her occasionally. After all, Bingkun often says that if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be friends." Seeing Li Suhua complaining about her son's amorousness and philandering, Zheng Juan looked at Li Suhua and explained.

"Juan'er, do you really not mind other people gossiping about you?" Li Suhua couldn't help but look at Zheng Juan in surprise. She didn't expect that her youngest son's methods would be so clever.

"I don't mind! Anyway, as long as we behave uprightly, we won't be afraid of what others say behind our backs. On the contrary, if we act sneakily, we will feel guilty." Zheng Juan has now figured it out completely. There is no point in being on guard and worried all the time.

"Juan'er, you are really a good daughter-in-law of our Zhou family. Mom promises that she will never let Zhou Bingkun let you down." Li Suhua patted Zheng Juan's hand with great emotion. She really didn't expect that her son was so reasonable.

"Thank you, Mom."

Zheng Juan also wanted Su Ning to concentrate on the family, but after more than two years of getting along, she already knew Su Ning very well. She also knew that Su Ning had always been uneasy, and it was difficult for marriage and family to really bind Su Ning. It would be better for her to say everything openly.

Now that she knew that Suning and Zheng Juan were planning to renovate their house in the spring of next year, and also after seeing the huge fortune that Suning had earned, Li Suhua was no longer anxious to urge Suning and Zheng Juan to find a job. Instead, she allowed Suning to measure everywhere in the house, but in Li Suhua's eyes, it was just tinkering.

"Bingkun, Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao are getting married these two days. Should we go to give a gift?" Seeing his son measuring and drawing randomly, Li Suhua looked at Su Ning helplessly and asked.

"Of course! Just make the arrangements according to our rules." Suning agreed without any hesitation and didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

"Alright! I'm going to give Qiao Chunyan a big red envelope."

"Haha, it's up to you." Suning waved his hand indifferently, his mind more on the design drawings.

"You bastard, you are so good at being sneaky." Li Suhua looked at his lazy son in front of him with displeasure.

"."

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door. The family who were having dinner turned around curiously. Zheng Juan immediately stood up and ran to open the door. Then she saw a strange young man standing outside with a gift in his hand. "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

"You must be Zheng Juan, right?" The young man outside the door saw the beautiful woman in front of him and immediately guessed Zheng Juan's name.

"Ah? I'm Zheng Juan? Who are you?"

"My name is Cai Xiaoguang, and I'm Zhou Rong's former classmate. Are Zhou Bingkun and Auntie at home now?" "At home! Please come in." Zheng Juan quickly let Cai Xiaoguang in with a smile.

"Brother Xiaoguang, why are you here?" Su Ning looked at Cai Xiaoguang who came in with Zheng Juan, and was also surprised and quickly stood up to greet him with a smile.

"Aunt, Bingkun, I came here specially to see you." Cai Xiaoguang quickly put down the gift in his hand, looked at Su Ning and Li Suhua and explained with a smile.

"Xiaoguang, just come! Why bring any gifts?" Li Suhua couldn't help but said with a happy smile at this time.

"Aunt, I haven't come to visit you in the past few years, and I feel a little guilty."

"You kid! You're just too polite." Li Suhua looked at Cai Xiaoguang with a smile on her face. Later, she heard that this kid liked Zhou Rong, so she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him. "Xiaoguang, you haven't eaten yet, right? Sit down and have something to eat with us."

"No! I won't stay at your house long. I have to go back to work soon."

"Brother Xiaoguang, has your father's problem been resolved?" Suning, who was standing aside, immediately had an idea, and the timeline probably reached this point in the plot.

"Yes! Not only has my father been reinstated, he also arranged for me to work in a tractor factory." Cai Xiaoguang couldn't hide the smile on his face, and then he looked at Suning in front of him and explained.

"Congratulations! This is such a happy event."

"Thank you! Bingkun, I came here specifically to see you. A few days ago, I heard that your bun shop had closed down, so I asked someone to find you a job at the soy sauce factory."

"Ah? Xiaoguang, thank you so much." Before Suning could respond to Cai Xiaoguang, Li Suhua beside him thanked him with surprise. After all, she had been thinking about this issue. "Bingkun and I were worried about this matter, but we didn't expect that you would solve it now."

"Auntie, please don't be polite with me. I have a good relationship with the director of the Songhuajiang Soy Sauce Factory. Arranging Zhou Bingkun is not a big deal."

"Brother Xiaoguang, thank you for your kindness, but I may not be able to go to work at the soy sauce factory."

"Ah? Why is that? You can't just sit at home like this?" Cai Xiaoguang couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw that Suning actually rejected him.

"No! Our house is really too small. We are planning to renovate it during this period. As for work, we can talk about it later."

"Build a house? Is it necessary or urgent?" Although he already knew the specific reason, Cai Xiaoguang still found it difficult to understand.

"Brother Xiaoguang, you can see that we only have these two rooms. When my dad and the others come back, there really won't be enough room for them."

"That's right! Then you probably haven't contacted the construction materials yet, right? I can help you find some connections."

"No need! Some time ago, when I was selling buns, I met a very connected old customer. He happened to have a batch of unplanned, low-priced building materials. It's more than enough for me to build a house."

"Ah? How could it be such a coincidence?" After hearing Suning's concise explanation, Cai Xiaoguang couldn't help but question it in his heart.

"Yes! So I think this opportunity is rare. If you miss it, you may never be able to build it again." Of course, knowing that Cai Xiaoguang would not completely believe his explanation, Suning continued to speak nonchalantly.

"Bingkun, how about this? I'll say hello to the director of the soy sauce factory and ask them to keep the job for you first." Seeing that Suning was determined to build the house first and then consider the job, Cai Xiaoguang once again thought of a compromise.

"Forget it! I won't start renovating the house until the spring of next year. I'd better wait until the house is built before thinking about work. I can't make this matter too difficult for you."

"Hey! This is the only way now." Seeing that what Su Ning said was indeed true, and Su Ning's eyes were still very determined, he suddenly asked Su Ning, "By the way! Your brother Zhou Bingyi was recently promoted to a new unit. Did you all know about this?"

"Ah? Really?" Suning couldn't help but feel happy. You know, the first time he traveled through time was not successful.

"Yes! I heard that he works as a secretary for a big boss."

"What about Hao Dongmei?"

"She? She's already broken up with your brother."

"It's good that they broke up! They shouldn't have been together in the first place." Upon hearing that Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei had indeed broken up, Su Ning felt a little relieved.

"What? Bingkun, why do you think so?" Cai Xiaoguang immediately widened his eyes in shock, feeling that Suning's thinking was too incomprehensible.

"Brother Xiaoguang, you should understand the principle of marrying someone of equal status. Now that your father has resumed his work, I think Hao Dongmei's parents should be too. Our Zhou family is just an ordinary working-class family. There is an insurmountable gap between us and the children of high-ranking officials. If my brother really gets together with Hao Dongmei, he will definitely be very frustrated for the rest of his life."

"Bingkun, what are you thinking about every day? Are you really the Zhou Bingkun who has strong limbs but a simple mind?" Suning's long speech just now immediately made Cai Xiaoguang look at him with new eyes.

"Huh? Brother Xiaoguang, am I so unbearable in your heart?" At this time, Suning felt a little ridiculous. His image in their hearts was too unbearable.

"No! No! I just felt that this was not something you could consider, so I was a little slow to react for a while."

"Brother Xiaoguang, come to my house and play when you have nothing to do. In my heart, I still think of you as my brother-in-law." Looking at the man in front of him who would be Zhou Rong's successor, Suning smiled meaningfully.

"Hey! I know Zhou Rong best. It's impossible for her and I to be together."

"Brother Xiaoguang, you're too pessimistic. Married life isn't that perfect. I'm not optimistic about Zhou Rong and that sour poet's marriage because they have completely different ideas. I think you know best what kind of life Zhou Rong wants."

"Oh?"

"Brother Xiaoguang, if I were you, I would not give up pursuing Zhou Rong. I believe that you will get what you want one day."

"Uh"
