The reason Zhou Rong traveled a long distance to find Feng Huacheng and was willing to marry him, who was more than ten years her senior, was because of a good poem written by Feng Huacheng.

"Memories of raging fire, how could it be this poem?" When Feng Huacheng saw the page Zhou Zhigang pointed to, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

Zhou Rong was also struck dumb, staring incredulously at the poem before her.

This is Zhou Bingkun's first published poem.

Several years later, it has already spread throughout the country.

Anyone who is involved in or pays attention to literature will know this poem.

Many people consider this poem to be one of the best poems of the last decade.

Zhou Rong was deeply moved. She knew that even though her lover, Feng Huacheng, had written many famous poems, none of them could compare to this one.

She absolutely refused to believe that her younger brother had written the poem: "Dad, you must be mistaken. This poem was written by the famous poet Xiao Chulan, not Bingkun. He's lying to you, isn't he?"

“No, Bingkun said that he didn’t use his own name when he wrote the poems, but a pen name, Xiao Chulan,” Zhou Zhigang said with great certainty.

Zhou Rong screamed and jumped up, shaking her head repeatedly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Bingkun didn't even finish the first year of junior high school, while Xiao Chulan is the most famous poet in the country in recent years, a rising star in the literary world, how could it be Bingkun! Dad, you must have been lied to!"

Seeing his daughter so excited, Zhou Zhigang looked puzzled and asked, "Rong'er, are you telling the truth?"

Zhou Rong was somewhat out of her mind at this moment, while Feng Huacheng managed to remain calm.

Feng Huacheng explained to Zhou Zhigang, "Dad, Zhou Rong is right. Xiao Chulan is one of the most famous poets in the country, who only emerged a few years ago. He is very famous! Although I have never met him, I am sure that he is definitely not Bingkun!"

"It's not that Bingkun isn't good enough, but that he's too young! He simply doesn't have that kind of experience, let alone be able to write so many emotionally rich poems."

Zhou Zhigang was still somewhat hesitant: "Although Bingkun is unruly, he wouldn't lie to me, would he?"

Zhou Rong looked at Zhou Zhigang with a helpless expression: "Dad, you know Bingkun is unruly. If you were by his side, he definitely wouldn't dare to lie to you! But now you're far away in Shancheng, so even if he lies to you, you can't do anything about it. I think he's doing it on purpose!"

"But his behavior is very wrong! If you're not capable, there's no need to steal someone else's name. It's only been a short time since I last saw him, and he's already become like this!"

"Dad, you must write a letter and talk to him properly, lest he go astray."

Zhou Zhigang's face turned very ugly; he felt that what Zhou Rong said made some sense.

Could it be that his youngest son deliberately lied to him to please him?

However, he still had some doubts. Although Bingkun was unruly, he wouldn't do something like this, would he?

It seems I should write a letter back and ask them properly.

Zhou Zhigang spent the Spring Festival with his daughter and son-in-law, while Zhou Bingkun spent the Spring Festival at home with Li Suhua.

On New Year's Eve, since Zheng Juan had not yet married into the family, only Zhou Bingkun and Li Suhua were at home.

Because it was New Year's Eve, Li Suhua prepared a large table of dishes, most of which were meat dishes.

Li Suhua smiled and said to Zhou Bingkun, "Kun'er, today is New Year's Eve. Although it's just the two of us at home, we should still have a good New Year. Eat up."

"Yes, Mom, although it's just me with you this year, it will be different next year! You'll be able to hold your grandson then."

Zhou Bingkun's words made Li Suhua laugh out loud: "Then Mom will be waiting for you! If I don't get to hold my grandson, I'll beat you, you brat."

"That's for sure, there's no doubt about it," Zhou Bingkun said confidently.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the neighbors in the Guangzi area began to visit each other to exchange New Year's greetings.

Since there were only two people in the Zhou family, Zhou Bingkun and Li Suhua did not visit other people's homes to offer New Year's greetings, but instead waited for others to bring their families to pay their respects.

Early in the morning, Zhou Bingkun and Li Suhua gave out a lot of red envelopes.

These are all prepared for the children who come to pay New Year's visits. The money isn't much, it's just a token of their appreciation.

As the third day of the Lunar New Year approached, Zhou Bingkun began visiting relatives and friends to offer New Year's greetings and send out invitations.

The first place we visited was Shao Jingwen's house.

Shao Jingwen was arguably the person Zhou Bingkun was most grateful to.

Whether it was getting a job at a publishing house or getting promoted within the publishing house, Shao Jingwen's help was indispensable.

Shao Jingwen returned on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so he was at home when Zhou Bingkun came.

"Teacher Shao, you must come on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year!" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile as he handed the invitation to Shao Jingwen.

Shao Jingwen accepted the invitation and said happily, "I will definitely be there! Bingkun, when I first met you, you were only seventeen years old. Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you're getting married too! Great! Great!"

Shao Jingwen knew very well that Zhou Bingkun simply wanted to keep a low profile.

Otherwise, if Zhou Bingkun's pen name and identity were revealed, he would definitely be sought after by countless publishing houses.

Zhou Bingkun said gratefully, "I must thank you again, Teacher Shao, for your guidance."

“I didn’t help you out at all; it was all your own ability! A man should start a family and build a career. I believe you will have a bright future.”

After chatting with Shao Jingwen for a long time, Zhou Bingkun took his leave and continued to deliver invitations to other leaders of the publishing house.

After that, Zhou Bingkun went to the home of Ma Shouchang and his wife.

Zhou Bingkun and Ma Shouchang and his wife are now very close.

Perhaps because their children were not around for many years, and because Zhou Bingkun got along well with them, Ma Shouchang and his wife treated Zhou Bingkun like their own son.

When Zhou Bingkun handed the invitation to Ma Shouchang and his wife, they exclaimed in surprise, "Are you getting married on the sixth day of the new year?"

Although Ma Shouchang and his wife knew that Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan would get married sooner or later, they did not expect it to happen so quickly.

Zhou Bingkun said with a smile, "Uncle Ma, Aunt Qu, I wonder if you two are free on the sixth day of the lunar new year?"

Before Qu Xiuzhen could speak, Ma Shouchang nodded repeatedly: "We're free, of course we're free! We have nothing to do at home right now, we'll definitely attend your wedding on the sixth day of the new year! Come to think of it, it's been many years since I've attended anyone's wedding, so we'll get to share in your joy."

Qu Xiuzhen rolled her eyes at him: "You're an old man already, what do you want to share in the joy? Bingkun, don't worry, we'll definitely be there!"

Despite Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen's strong urging, Zhou Bingkun stayed and had a meal with them before leaving.

Chapter 137, A Simple Wedding! (Happy New Year to all readers!)

Before we knew it, it was already the sixth day of the first lunar month.

This day was a big day for Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan.

Zhou Bingkun got up early in the morning, then found an excuse to go out and used the interdimensional portal (experience card) to teleport Xiao Shan, Zhang Chulan and Ying Zheng to his own world.

Zhou Bingkun was naturally very excited to meet his group members for the first time.

Of course, it wasn't just Zhou Bingkun; Xiao Shan and the other two were also very excited.

Especially Ying Zheng, who found everything new and exciting.

After bringing the three of them back home, Zhou Bingkun found that Sun Ganchao and the others had already arrived at his house and were helping to make arrangements.

Although Xiao Shan and his group had changed into clothes suitable for this era beforehand, their appearance and temperament were different from those of people in this era, so they immediately attracted the attention of Sun Ganchao and his group.

Xiao Guoqing looked at Zhou Bingkun with some curiosity and asked, "Kun'er, who are these three?"

“Guoqing, Ganchao, these three are friends I met after I started working at the magazine!” Zhou Bingkun introduced them. “They knew I was getting married today, so they specially came from out of town!”

Xiao Shan and the others had seen Zhou Bingkun's future video, so they naturally knew that this was Zhou Bingkun's good friend.

After both sides became familiar with each other, Zhou Bingkun began the operation under the command of a group of people.

After a busy morning, Zhou Bingkun finally rode his bicycle with a few people to pick up Zheng Juan.

Xiao Shan and the other two were naturally very happy to mingle in the wedding procession.

These days, being able to get married by bicycle is considered a very prestigious thing.

When Zhou Bingkun came to visit, all the villagers in Taiping Hutong were talking about it and were full of envy.

Finally, a large group of guests arrived at the house Zhou Bingkun had rented, preparing for a midday banquet.

As the host, Zhou Bingkun was also responsible for welcoming guests.

He prepared a total of four tables today: two inside the house and two in the small courtyard outside.

Because of the cold weather, a shed was set up outside.

Plus, there's a stove for cooking next to it, so it's not very cold.

The place wasn't hard to find, and Zhou Bingkun provided the exact address, so friends and family were able to find it.

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao helped Zhou Bingkun entertain the guests, while Xiao Shan and the other two sat in the house with Ma Shouchang and his wife, Shao Jingwen, several leaders of the publishing house, and the elders of the Zhou family.

The rest of our friends and relatives were seated at the tables outside.

Mr. and Mrs. Ma were very curious about the three people from Xiaoshan because they looked different from the people around them.

After a conversation, Ma Shouchang and his wife felt even more strongly that these three people were not simple.

Especially Ying Zheng, who gave Ma Shouchang and his wife the feeling of facing a high-ranking leader.

Just then, Lü Chuan, Cao Debao, and Tang Xiangyang walked over.

Lu Chuan looked at Zhou Bingkun, who was greeting guests at the door, and said with a smile, "Zhou Bingkun, we heard that today is your big day, so we've come to congratulate you!"

Zhou Bingkun was surprised by the arrival of Lü Chuan and his two companions, as he had not informed them beforehand.

But now that they've come, we can only treat them well: "Welcome, welcome! Guoqing, these three are my friends, please arrange for them to sit down."

Of the three, Zhou Bingkun was most familiar with Lü Chuan.

After meeting Zhou Bingkun at Ma Shouchang's house, Lü Chuan took the initiative to contact him many times.

After a while, the two became friends.

As for Cao Debao, Zhou Bingkun had only met him once before, at Ma Shouchang's house.

Tang Xiangyang was an acquaintance of Zhou Bingkun because Lu Chuan had brought him along several times when he came to see Zhou Bingkun.

Xiao Guoqing led Lü Chuan and the other two to find a place to sit outside.

After Xiao Guoqing left, Cao Debao got up, walked around the room, and then returned to his seat.

After sitting down, Cao Debao started discussing with Lü Chuan and Tang Xiangyang: "Chuan'er, Xiangyang, Zhou Bingkun seems to be very rich! His house is very big, with three bedrooms."

Cao Debao's face was full of envy and jealousy.

Their family is now crammed into one room, which is a world apart from Zhou Bingkun's situation.

Actually, their family wasn't originally that poor; it was just that their fortunes began to decline in his father's generation.

When it came to him, he hardly enjoyed any happiness.

Because his father had once been successful, he had always wanted to rebuild the family business.

However, he lacked ability and could only hope to marry a princess from a fallen high-ranking official's family.

Unfortunately, after searching for so many years, I still haven't found the right one.

Lu Chuan disapproved of Cao Debao's behavior and warned him in a low voice, "Debao, we're here to attend a wedding today, don't wander around."

"I'm just looking around! I'm only here because I'm giving Zhou Bingkun face. We're all friends, can't I even take a look around?" Cao Debao said somewhat discontentedly.

"Alright, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you." Lu Chuan looked at Cao Debao with some helplessness.

He hadn't originally planned to bring Cao Debao, but Cao Debao insisted on coming, so there was nothing he could do.

Cao Debao continued, "I just went in and saw Qu Shuji and her old man inside! And there seemed to be a few other leaders there too, I wonder who they are. I didn't realize Zhou Bingkun had such a big influence."

Tang Xiangyang smiled and said, "Zhou Bingkun is a very capable and knowledgeable person."

He had met Zhou Bingkun several times and could tell that Zhou Bingkun was different from others.

"Is that so? But in the current situation, what good is knowledge?" Cao Debao said with disdain.

He had no problem with Zhou Bingkun, but he was somewhat unhappy to see that Zhou Bingkun was doing better than him and had been praised by Tang Xiangyang and Lü Chuan many times.

Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang were too lazy to pay him any attention; they both knew what kind of person Cao Debao was.

Soon, all the guests had arrived.

These days, there's no such thing as wedding celebrations anymore. Once everyone's here, the food can be served.

When Zheng Juan was toasting everyone, Zhou Bingkun emphasized the introduction of Xiao Shan and the other two.

This made Ma Shouchang and his wife even more curious about the three people from Xiaoshan.

After the banquet, Xiao Shan and his two companions found Zhou Bingkun and his wife and presented them with the gifts they had prepared.

Afterwards, Xiao Shan and his two companions left Zhou Bingkun's house and traveled around the world together.

With their combined strength, it would be quite easy for them to remain undetected.
