Li Suhua: "Oh, look at my memory. Mom will go cook for you right now."
Zheng Juan also stood up in time and said, "Mom, I'll go help you."
Li Suhua refused, "No, you are just pregnant, you need to be careful in the first two or three months of pregnancy. I can handle it by myself, you sit down and talk with your sister-in-law."
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were both stunned by this. Hao Dongmei asked in surprise, "Juan'er, are you pregnant again?"
Zheng Juan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm pregnant now, only one month."
After getting a positive reply, Hao Dongmei felt mixed emotions. She had been in an accident and was infertile, so when she saw Zheng Juan lose her second child, her envy reached its peak.
As soon as Zhou Bingyi saw his wife's expression, he knew her mood and stood up.
"Mom, I'll go help you cook. I haven't cooked for you in all these years."
"No, you're so tired from the car ride, take a rest. Kun'er, come and help me."
Li Suhua pushed Zhou Bingyi down and directed Zhou Chen to help her.
Hao Dongmei put Zhou Rui down and stood up: "Mom, let me help you, let Bingkun and Bingyi have a chat, they haven't seen each other for so many years."
Li Suhua refused again: "Dongmei, there's really no need. You sit down and talk to them. I can do it alone."
After some excuses, the girls finally went to the kitchen, while Zhou Rui went to the room with Guangming to play with toys.
There were only two people left. Zhou Bingyi said to Zhou Chen with a serious face: "Bingkun, thank you. You have worked hard to take care of our mother during the days when we were not at home. I think mother is in a very good mental state. You and Zheng Juan have put in a lot of effort."
"She is my mother too. It is my duty to take care of her. There is no need to say thank you or no thank you." Zhou Chen said.
Zhou Bingyi patted Zhou Chen's shoulder vigorously, and everything was said without words.
"To be honest, Bingkun, I envy you now. You can stay at home with your mother, wife and children. I don't know when I can come back."
The construction corps he was in was good, but he still missed home very much, but he had no choice now.
Zhou Chen knew that Hao Dongmei was infertile, but it was difficult to tell her, so he could only comfort her: "There will be a chance."
"By the way, Bingkun, when will our dad arrive?"
"It says it's twelve noon, but tomorrow is thirty, so I think it will be late nine times out of ten. Don't worry, I'll get up early tomorrow and pick him up at the train station."
"I'd better go. I haven't seen my dad in many years. I miss him so much."
"Then let's go together. We can ride two bikes, which will be just enough to carry the luggage."
"That's okay too."
The two chatted for a long time until dinner was ready and everyone sat down to eat.
There are three rooms in the house. Before, Zhou Chen, Zheng Juan and Zhou Rui slept in the master bedroom, Li Suhua slept in one room, and Zheng Guangming lived in the remaining room.
However, today Zheng Juan had already cleaned up Guangming's room and prepared it for Zhou Bingyi and his wife to live in.
Zheng Guangming originally wanted to move back to Taiping Hutong, but Zheng Juan was not at ease with him going back alone, so she forced him to stay and put a camp bed in their room for Zheng Guangming to sleep on at night.
Zhou Chen naturally had no objection to this. Guangming was really a good boy. He was his own brother, and he was blind. There was nothing to mind.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Hao Dongmei sent the sleeping Zhou Rui to Zheng Juan before returning to the room.
Zhou Bingyi was lying on the bed reading a book. When he saw Hao Dongmei coming back, he asked, "Did Ruirui send it over?"
"Ah."
Zhou Rui stayed with Hao Dongmei for a while and became much more familiar with her, so he insisted on pestering Hao Dongmei to play with him at night. Hao Dongmei was also very happy to play with Zhou Rui for a long time, and finally Zhou Rui couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.
Hao Dongmei took off her clothes, got into bed, and leaned against Zhou Bingyi.
"Ruirui is such a cute kid, not shy at all. You know, this is my first time coaxing a kid to sleep, it's so funny, look at his little nose, when he's asleep, his little mouth opens and closes, so cute, and his hands are so small..."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Zhou Bingyi understood her feelings and hugged her in his arms.
"It's okay, don't be sad, it's okay."
Hao Dongmei choked up and said, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I had been more careful when I was working, it wouldn't have turned out like this. Bingyi, I'm sorry."
Zhou Bingyi comforted softly: "It's okay, Dongmei, you haven't let me down. I love you. No matter what happens to you, I will always love you. If you don't have a child, then don't have a child. Anyway, Bingkun already has a son, and the Zhou family has an heir. My parents won't rush us too much."
Hao Dongmei was even more sad: "Zheng Juan gave birth to Zhou Rui, and now she is pregnant again. I could have been like her, wuwu..."
There is no harm without comparison. If Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan didn't have children, she wouldn't be so sad. But now Zheng Juan has a second child, she is under more pressure and feels more depressed.
What else Zhou Bingyi could do was to use all his skills to comfort and persuade.
Hao Dongmei was sad for a while, then slowly calmed down and asked in a low voice: "Bingyi, do you think my disease can be cured?"
They have been to several hospitals for check-ups, but the results are all similar. They have even tried folk remedies from the countryside several times, but still to no avail, so they are so desperate.
But in order not to upset his wife, Zhou Bingyi said firmly: "Yes, there must be a cure. Science is becoming more and more advanced now. I believe there must be a cure."
Although she knew that Zhou Bingyi was comforting her, Hao Dongmei was still willing to believe in this comfort so as not to make her more desperate.

Chapter 576 Zhou Zhigang returns home, father and son do not get along
At Li Suhua's urging, Zhou Chen and Zhou Bingyi set off for the train station after breakfast early the next morning.
On the way to the train station, Zhou Bingyi said to Zhou Chen in a serious tone: "Bingkun, pick up Dad later. No matter what Dad says to you, don't confront him. After all, you hid your marriage with Zheng Juan from Dad, and you were wrong in the first place."
Zhou Chen was indeed unreasonable about this matter, but in front of Zhou Bingyi, he just said lightly: "According to you, if Dad doesn't agree with my marriage to Zheng Juan, then I can only listen to him. Will I let Zheng Juan down?"
Zhou Bingyi: "That's not what I meant, but you didn't inform Dad in advance, which was wrong in the first place."
Zhou Chen said casually: "Brother, I remember that when you married your sister-in-law, you only informed your parents at short notice and did not ask for their opinions, right?"
Zhou Bingyi's face froze, and he immediately retorted: "Our situation is different. Your sister-in-law and I have known each other for a long time, and my parents also know about it."
"In my opinion, there is no difference. At least I got mom's consent, held a banquet at home, and notified relatives and friends, so it can be considered a formal marriage. Big brother, when you married big sister-in-law, big sister-in-law's parents should not have known about it, right? If you really count it, you guys secretly got married, which is much more serious than me and Zheng Juan."
"you……"
Zhou Bingyi was choked and speechless, and glanced at Zhou Chen in astonishment.
"Bingkun, I haven't seen you for a few years. Your weird skills have become even better."
Zhou Chen said, "I'm not being sarcastic, I'm telling the truth. We're both the same. Dad is dissatisfied with me only because Zheng Juan comes from a poor family. If she was like my sister-in-law, the child of a high-ranking official, do you think he would object?"
Seeing Zhou Chen say this, Zhou Bingyi frowned and said, "Bingkun, you are going too far. Dad is not that kind of person. Besides, your sister-in-law's family has been in trouble for a long time. If Dad is that kind of person, he would not agree to my relationship with Dongmei."
Zhou Chen sneered, "That's because you and your sister-in-law knew each other before their family fell into trouble. If he doesn't allow you to date because their family fell into trouble, how will others look at him? For the sake of his own face, he won't break up the couple."
The more Zhou Bingyi listened, the uglier his expression became, but Zhou Chen did not give him a chance to refute and continued to ask: "Let me ask you one question, if he didn't agree to your marriage with your sister-in-law at that time, what would you do?"
Zhou Bingyi was speechless, the answer was obvious, if Zhou Zhigang disagreed, he would also marry Hao Dongmei.
But if he said that, wouldn't it be the same as calling him his own brother, so he didn't know how to answer at all.
"So, don't try to persuade me. I know our father better than you do. I know what to do."
Zhou Bingyi was very depressed. Before leaving, his mother Li Suhua pulled him aside and asked him to persuade Zhou Chen on the way.
But Zhou Chen's words just now left him speechless, so what else could he do to persuade him?
"Bingkun, I haven't seen you for a few years. You really impressed me. If you didn't look like my brother, I would really doubt whether you were a fake."
In the past, he was the one who talked about Zhou Chen, but now the roles have been reversed and he is no match for Zhou Chen at all.
Zhou Chen stepped on the pedal and said calmly: "When you left, I was only seventeen years old. If I don't become smarter, anyone can bully us. You may think that you are suffering outside and we are enjoying ourselves at home, but the reality is, haha."
Zhou Bingyi remained silent. His life in the Construction Corps was not actually hard. On the contrary, he had great freedom and even became a leader.
So when he heard Zhou Chen's words, he had no way to refute it.
Zhou Bingyi didn't say anything, and Zhou Chen didn't speak either. The two of them walked in silence all the way to the train station and waited quietly.
After a long time, Zhou Bingyi finally spoke first: "Bingkun, I know you have suffered these years. When I see Dad, I will help you to plead for him. Although Dad is a little stubborn, he must know your hard work. But you also know his temper. If you don't give in, he will definitely be even angrier."
Zhou Chen did not give a direct answer, but just said: "We'll talk about it later."
"Ugh."
Zhou Bingyi sighed quietly. After coming back and seeing Zhou Chen, he knew that this younger brother was no longer someone he could educate. Zhou Chen had changed a lot, but his stubborn temper really hadn't changed at all.
Faced with such a younger brother, he found that he didn't know what attitude to adopt towards him.
Zhou Zhigang's train arrived at around three o'clock, and Zhou Chen and Zhou Bingyi quickly met him.
"dad."
When Zhou Bingyi saw Zhou Zhigang, he hugged him excitedly. Zhou Zhigang was also very happy and patted his eldest son on the back vigorously.
"I haven't seen you for seven years, Bingyi. You have grown a lot and become a real man. Good, good."
Zhou Zhigang burst into tears. His son had grown up and he had also grown old. In the past, he would never have been so sad and cried.
"Dad, you have suffered a lot over the years."
Zhou Bingyi looked at his father whose temples had turned gray, and felt mixed emotions.
Zhou Zhigang laughed: "What kind of suffering is that? I have suffered a lot in my life."
The two chatted for a long time before stopping. Zhou Bingyi said softly, "Dad, Bingkun is here to pick you up too."
Of course Zhou Zhigang saw Zhou Chen, but he deliberately ignored him.
Unlike his satisfaction with his eldest son, he has been very dissatisfied with his youngest son over the years. He clearly said in the letter that he did not agree with the marriage, but what did Zhou Chen do?
As the head of the family, especially a loving father in the eyes of his youngest son, what he disliked most was seeing his youngest son going against him, but his youngest son always did so.
He thought that after Zhou Chen saw him, he would immediately admit his mistake to him, so that he could teach him a good lesson.
But Zhou Chen didn't say anything at all, as if he didn't see him, and let him talk to his eldest son.
This attitude made him even angrier.
"Bingkun."
Zhou Chen responded: "Dad."
Zhou Zhigang said in a deep voice: "Now that you see me, you have nothing to say?"
Zhou Chen then said: "Dad, you have worked hard all the way and all these years."
Zhou Zhigang was so angry that his teeth ached. Who was this brat trying to pick on?
Zhou Bingyi saw that his father's expression was not right, and quickly said: "Dad, there are too many people here and it's too chaotic. Let's go back first. Mom is waiting for you at home."
"Humph."
Only now did Zhou Zhigang snort in dissatisfaction, and glared at Zhou Chen: "Bring your things."
Having said that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Bingyi immediately picked up the two bags and shook his head at Zhou Chen: "You, you have to go against Dad. What I said to you just now is in vain."
Zhou Chen picked up the other two bags expressionlessly and followed.
During the New Year, he never thought of going against Zhou Zhigang, mainly because Zhou Zhigang's attitude was too polarized.
They are both sons. She talked and laughed with Zhou Bingyi and praised him in various ways, but turned her face away from him in an instant. Even if he did something wrong in getting married, three years have passed and there is no need for such an attitude.
He had told them here after all. At least his behavior was much better than Zhou Rong's. But what did Zhou Zhigang do for Zhou Rong and what was his attitude towards him?
For Zhou Rong, he was able to travel thousands of miles to your province and actively seek peace; but when facing him, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.
Zhou Zhigang was sitting in Zhou Bingyi's car. The two of them were talking and laughing along the way, while Zhou Chen followed behind them without saying a word. Even when Zhou Bingyi mentioned him intentionally, he simply responded with a few words.
Zhou Zhigang is different from Li Suhua. When Zhou Chen just crossed over, Zhou Zhigang left, but Li Suhua had been with him for seven years, and he already regarded Li Suhua as a relative in his heart.
But Zhou Zhigang, he really didn't regard him as his father. Even though his body was now Zhou Zhigang's son, psychologically, he had never acknowledged it.
Therefore, he didn't care much about Zhou Zhigang's attitude towards him, nor did he want to defend himself.
Still in the same place, Li Suhua stood there to greet them again, but yesterday she greeted her eldest son and daughter-in-law, while today she greeted the man she loved the most, the man she wanted to spend her life with.
"The child's father."
"Suhua."
The meeting between the old couple was not as passionate and unrestrained as that of young people, but the two people hugging each other could make people feel their love and longing for each other.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
Li Suhua couldn't stop crying and was much more excited than when she saw Zhou Bingyi yesterday.
