The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Zhigang whispered with emotion: "Mother, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, not hard at all. It's the hardest when you're out there alone."

Under Zhou Bingyi's persuasion, Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua came to their current house hand in hand.

Li Suhua pointed at the house and said to Zhou Zhigang, "This is the house that Bingkun rented. It has three rooms, all of which are large. This way, even if Rong'er and the others come back, it will be enough for them to live in."

Zhou Zhigang snorted coldly: "So what if it's big? It's not his own house. A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as his own doghouse. I think he just dislikes his own house, so he moved here."

This is also one of the reasons why he is most dissatisfied with Zhou Chen. The house in Guangzipian was built by him brick by brick. In his eyes, it is better than those big villas.

But Zhou Chen said to move away, so he moved away. He felt that Zhou Chen was trampling on the house he had built with great effort, which was ungrateful.

Li Suhua pushed Zhou Zhigang, and said dissatisfied: "What are you talking about, it's the New Year's Eve, the child has good intentions, I live here, it is indeed much more convenient than the optical film, he is also for my own good."

After getting used to living here, she also understood why Zhou Chen wanted to move here. Not only is it comfortable to live here, but it is also convenient to buy things.

"Come on, go in, there are people waiting at home, you will be able to see your eldest grandson soon."

Li Suhua's words really attracted Zhou Zhigang's attention. Although he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's behavior, and was also not very satisfied with Zheng Juan, he was full of expectations for his eldest grandson, his only grandson, whom he had never seen.

He is already fifty years old and has lived more than half of his life. For him, the next generation and the next generation are what he looks forward to most.

"Is it Ruirui? I calculated the time, and he should be almost twenty-two months old now, right?"

When Li Suhua heard this, she immediately smiled: "That's right, Ruirui will be 22 months old soon. Although he is still young, he is very smart and looks very cute. You will definitely like him when you see him."

Having said that, she couldn't wait to pull Zhou Zhigang into the house.

At this time, Zheng Juan and Hao Dongmei were both waiting in the room. When they saw Li Suhua coming in with Zhou Zhigang, the two daughters-in-law stood up nervously.

Zheng Juan was more nervous than Hao Dongmei. She hugged Zhou Rui nervously because she knew that she was able to marry into the Zhou family because Zhou Chen had hidden it from her father-in-law, so she was particularly afraid that Zhou Zhigang would have a problem with her.

"dad."

Hao Dongmei shouted first, and then Zheng Juan followed with a low voice.

Zhou Zhigang responded with a smile, "Dongmei, Zheng Juan, how are you doing?"

Then his eyes swept over Zheng Guangming next to him, and Zheng Juan quickly introduced: "Dad, this is my brother, Guangming."

Zhou Zhigang also knew Zheng Guangming's situation, so he smiled and said, "The young man looks quite energetic."

Zheng Guangming heard the voice and called out politely, "Uncle Zhou, hello."

"Quite polite."

Zhou Zhigang chuckled twice, then his eyes fell on Zhou Rui in Zheng Juan's arms, his dark face filled with smiles.

"Let me guess, this should be our little friend Ruirui?"

Zhou Rui looked curiously at the strange-looking old man in front of him, tilted his head, and said nothing.

Zheng Juan hurriedly urged: "Rui Rui, this is grandpa, have you forgotten what mom told you?"

Zhou Rui heard the reminder, and then he called out: "Grandpa, my name is Zhou Rui. I am two years old this year. Are you my father's father?"

"Hahaha……"

Zhou Zhigang laughed hilariously, glanced at Li Suhua, and said, "Look at this cleverness, it's not at all the same as Bingkun's when he was a child, much smarter than him."

"Yes, you are right. He is smarter and cleverer than Bingkun." Li Suhua agreed with him.

The more Zhou Zhigang looked at Zhou Rui, the happier he felt. He rubbed his hands together and asked Zhou Rui, "Ruirui, grandpa will hug you, okay?"

Zhou Rui turned his head and looked at his mother. Although he was not very shy, he was unwilling to be hugged by a stranger.

Zheng Juan comforted him, "Ruirui, it's just grandpa, your father's father, and the person closest to Ruirui. Since he is the closest person, shouldn't you let grandpa hug you?"

Zhou Rui put his index finger on his chin, thought for a while like a little adult, and then nodded at Zhou Zhigang.

"Okay, then I'll let you hold him for a bit, but Grandpa, you have white hair now, can you still hold Ruirui?"

"Haha, this kid."

Zhou Zhigang laughed again, then took Zhou Rui from Zheng Juan's arms.

"Look, did grandpa hold him up? Grandpa is very powerful, even more powerful than your father."

Zhou Rui was a little nervous to begin with. When he heard this, he immediately retorted loudly: "No, you are not as good as my dad. My dad is the best. He can lift me up high, tell me stories, and sing songs for me. My dad is awesome."

"is it?"

Zhou Zhigang was very surprised and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Chen. He found that Zhou Chen was looking at him expressionlessly and snorted in his heart.

"Grandpa can lift you up, too, you see."

As he said that, he actually lifted Zhou Rui up, which frightened Li Suhua, Zhou Bingyi and others so much that they became very nervous.

"Old man, don't try to show off."

"Dad, be careful."

"Rui Rui, don't move."

Zhou Rui was not afraid at all when he was lifted up. Instead, he started giggling, which made Zhou Zhigang, who had exerted a lot of effort, laugh even more happily.

Holding Zhou Rui in his arms again, Zhou Zhigang boasted: "I am old now, and I can't help but admit it. If it were a few years ago, I would have lifted Ruirui over my head and run with him."

Li Suhua scolded: "You are so old, but you still show off. Can you compare with young people?"

Zhou Zhigang retorted: "What's wrong with young people, are young people as honest and reliable as our generation? Are we as filial and respectful as our generation?"

Zhou Chen curled his lips at the insinuation. This old man was also good at being sarcastic.

Zhou Zhigang held Zhou Rui and sat on the sofa, and asked in a low voice: "Ruirui, what story do you want to hear? Grandpa will tell you."

Zhou Rui immediately raised his hand and said loudly, "I want to listen to Big Bear and Little Bear."

"Big Bear and Little Bear?" Zhou Zhigang looked confused.

Zheng Juan explained, "Dad, this is a story Bingkun made up himself."

"Really? Ruirui, grandpa also wants to hear the story of Big Bear and Little Bear. Can you tell it to grandpa?"

Zhou Rui widened his cute eyes with an expression of disbelief. Didn’t you say you would tell me a story? Why did you want me to tell it too?

But the child has a short memory, and he quickly said happily: "Okay, Grandpa, I'll tell you, Big Bear and Little Bear, they are in the forest, and also, Baldy Qiang..."

Holding his grandson in his arms and listening to his intermittent stories, although he was tired after several days, Zhou Zhigang still felt very happy and satisfied.

Seeing that Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Rui were getting along very well, Zheng Juan finally let go of her worries and walked over to Zhou Chen.

"Bingkun, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Chen smiled and responded: "It's nothing, you don't have to worry too much, no matter what happens, I'm here."

"Yeah." Zheng Juan nodded meekly.

After a while, Li Suhua saw that Zhou Zhigang looked exhausted, so she asked Hao Dongmei to carry Zhou Rui over, which made Zhou Zhigang complain and accuse her of meddling in other people's business.

Hao Dongmei held Zhou Rui to play with toys nearby, while Zhou Bingyi asked his father to lie on the sofa and helped rub his legs.

While enjoying his eldest son's massage, Zhou Zhigang shook his head and said, "You don't know, after two days and two nights, I was so tired that I couldn't stand anymore. I gritted my teeth and didn't care about my dignity. I slipped under someone's seat. When I opened my eyes again, I was home. It was like I slept in a sleeper berth all the way. It didn't cost any money. It was great."

"Hahaha……"

In the end, I was happy too.

While helping with the massage, Zhou Bingyi said, "Dad, I made two more fake collars for you."

Zhou Zhigang nodded happily: "Okay, okay."

When he looked up and saw the photos hanging on the living room wall, he asked, "Hey, mother, have you collected all these photos?"

Li Suhua said, "Well, the house at home was temporarily lent to Guoqing and his family. I was afraid that they might accidentally damage the photos, so I brought them here."

"Very good, very good."

Zhou Zhigang responded twice with a complicated expression, but didn't say anything else. He then asked, "By the way, when will Xiaorong and the others arrive?"

Li Suhua: "You don't know?"

Seeing Zhou Zhigang's confused face, she raised her voice: "You don't know, how can I know?"

Zhou Zhigang couldn't help but complain to his eldest son: "Look, your mother is unreasonable. She speaks as if Xiaorong didn't write a letter home."

Zhou Bingyi said, "I heard from mom that although Xiaorong and her family wrote a letter, they didn't say the specific time. By the way, Xiaorong and her family will bring their daughter back this time. Their daughter seems to be called, called..."

"Feng Yue." Zhou Chen reminded.

"Yes, her name is Feng Yue. Yueyue is the same age as Ruirui."

"Yeah, that's great."

At this moment, Zhou Rui suddenly ran over and saw Zhou Bingyi massaging Zhou Zhigang. He asked curiously, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

Zhou Bingyi smiled and replied, "Grandpa is too tired and his legs are swollen. Uncle is giving him a massage."

"I want it too, I want it too."

Zhou Rui jumped up, and then climbed onto Zhou Zhigang's back with his shoes on, regardless of whether he agreed or not. Then he stretched out his two little hands and began to rub Zhou Zhigang's thighs hard.

Zhou Zhigang didn't dare to move immediately, for fear of dropping his grandson, but he still laughed: "Look, this is my eldest grandson. He is so sensible. He knows how to be filial to his grandfather at such a young age. Hahaha..."

Soon it was dinner time and the whole family sat at the same table.

As the head of the family, Zhou Zhigang felt deeply moved as he looked at the table full of relatives.

"This is the first time our family has been reunited since 69. Although Xiaorong is missing, we have Dongmei, Zhengjuan, Ruirui and Guangming. The population is much larger than in 69."

Li Suhua suddenly interrupted with a smile: "Dad, you forgot one more thing."

"I forgot to mention one person?" Zhou Zhigang looked puzzled: "Who is it?"

Li Suhua smiled and said, "Juan'er is pregnant again."

Zhou Zhigang was stunned at first, but soon understood and looked surprised.

"Good news, this is great news, haha, this means that our Zhou family will have another baby."

After chatting for a while, Zhou Zhigang took the initiative to shift the topic to Hao Dongmei.

Zhou Bingyi smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, you don't know that Dongmei is now the village women's director. In fact, she has the qualifications, but she was implicated by her parents before. Now that her parents have been rehabilitated, the team has made her the women's director. Now when everyone sees her, they call her Director Hao, Director Hao."

Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua were overjoyed when they heard this.

Zhou Zhigang asked, "Dongmei, have your parents returned to work now?"

Hao Dongmei shook her head: "Not yet."

Zhou Zhigang comforted her, "It's okay, tell your parents that nothing happened, and let them relax."

Hao Dongmei nodded vigorously. She had also been looking forward to her parents returning to work.

Zhou Zhigang hesitated for a moment, then asked Zhou Bingyi: "Bingyi, you and Dongmei have been married for three years. Look at Bingkun, he got married at about the same time as you two, and now he has two children. When are you going to have a baby?"

In an instant, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei's faces changed. Hao Dongmei's face turned pale. She tried hard to stay calm and not lose her composure.

Zhou Bingyi saw that something was not right and quickly explained, "Dad, you know that our situation is different from Bingkun's. We can't have children just because we want them. Dongmei and I have already discussed it. Let's wait a little longer."

Li Suhua sensed that the atmosphere was not right and slapped Zhou Zhigang: "You old man, it's New Year's Eve, how can you rush the children like this?"

Zhou Zhigang also realized that he asked the question at the wrong time, so he just laughed it off and said no more.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 577: Father and son confront each other, noisy New Year's Eve dinner

The sudden change in the atmosphere made Zhou Zhigang, who was the first to ask the question, very embarrassed, and his face became sour.

He knew his eldest son and knew he was not the type of person who didn't want children. As for what his eldest son said about the inconvenience, he didn't quite believe it, so he couldn't help but wonder if Hao Dongmei didn't want children.

But he couldn't ask this question out loud, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

When he turned his eyes and saw Zhou Chen eating quietly, his mood became even worse.

"The Chinese New Year is a great thing, but if you can't go back to your own home to celebrate the New Year, the joy will be reduced by half."

As soon as these words came out, everyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone. Hao Dongmei lowered her head even more. Not being able to have a child was her biggest pain, but this was something she couldn't say out loud.

Zhou Chen glanced at Zhou Zhigang. This old man couldn't get any good treatment from the boss, so he turned around and started targeting him. Is he so easy to bully?

Li Suhua glared at Zhou Zhigang again in dissatisfaction: "Can't you just speak properly? Home is where our relatives are. We are all here, and this is our home."

"Yo ho."
