"Bingkun, is basketball really that interesting? I saw the cheers from the crowd, they were more intense than the games we've seen before."
"Of course. Although football is the world's top sport, in our country, basketball is more popular than football. This is because the national team hasn't achieved many results. If it had achieved results, the popularity would have been even higher."
Zhou Chen answered Zheng Juan's question with a smile.
He had liked basketball before he traveled through time, but his skills were limited and he hardly played it. He just watched others play or watched the games.
He has watched a lot of NBA games, and over the past decade or so he can recognize most of the NBA players.
Thinking of the NBA, Zhou Chen suddenly had an idea. Since he had nothing to do now, and every day he took his wife traveling and enjoying gourmet food, why not buy an NBA team for fun?
After watching the game, Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan took a car to the hotel.
On the way, Zheng Juan suddenly said, "Yu Hong called me yesterday and said that Gan Chao's health was getting worse and worse, and chemotherapy was no longer effective. The doctor suggested that they go back for conservative treatment."
Speaking of this, Zhou Chen's expression became heavy. Although Sun Ganchao's life had been much better in the past ten years with his help, he still inevitably got cancer and had been undergoing treatment for several years.
"His health is too poor now, otherwise I could help him with the surgery. Alas, this is fate."
Although he has superb medical skills, he is not a god, and he cannot save anyone he wants to.
Even he was powerless to cure Sun Ganchao's condition.
Zheng Juan sighed, "No one would have thought that Gan Chao would be like this before he even turned 60. Fortunately, Sun Sheng worked hard, got married, had children, and lived a good life. Even if Gan Chao really passed away, he could leave with a smile on his face."
Zhou Chen also sighed, "Let's go back to Jichun in a few days to see Catch Up, and by the way, visit Big Brother and the others."
After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Zheng Juan couldn't believe her ears. In the past twenty or thirty years, this was the first time she heard Zhou Chen take the initiative to say that he wanted to go see his elder brother and sister-in-law.
"Bingkun, are you serious?"
"real."
Zhou Chen looked through the car window at the vehicles coming and going outside with a melancholy expression.
When Zhou Zhigang passed away a few years ago, he asked him to reconcile with Zhou Bingyi, but after the funeral, they did not really reconcile, and they have not contacted each other much in the past few years.
However, although there was no contact, Zhou Chen still knew Zhou Bingyi's current situation.
After serving as a senior official in Jichun City for several years, Zhou Bingyi chose to retire early. He now lives in Jichun City with Hao Dongmei. After retirement, they also started traveling.
Because of his irregular working hours and reversed day and night schedule, Zhou Bingyi still suffered from stomach problems, which eventually developed into cancer. However, he did not hide it from Hao Dongmei, so he started treatment at the beginning and is in good health now.
So many years have passed since what happened in the past, and Zhou Chen no longer has any feelings for it. However, they have been strangers for so many years, and he is unwilling to take the initiative to meet her.
The reason why I am willing to go back to meet each other this time is because Zhou Bingyi's th birthday is coming soon.
There had been a feud between them all their lives, and for the sake of the deceased Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua, there was no need for Zhou Bingyi to leave with such great regrets in the last few years of his life.
Of course, this only applies to Zhou Bingyi. As for Hao Dongmei, ever since he fell out with the Hao family, he has never thought about reconciling with her.

Chapter 633: Live in the same quilt and die in the same coffin
Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan met their youngest son at the hotel and also met his girlfriend.
"Dad, Mom, this is my girlfriend, Jiang Meng."
Zhou Jia took a little girl who looked particularly well-behaved and introduced her to Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan.
Jiang Meng looked nervous, bent down and called out: "Uncle, aunt, hello, you can call me Xiao Meng."
As soon as Zheng Juan saw this little girl, she liked her very much. She enthusiastically took Jiang Meng's hand and started talking to her.
Looking at the little girl named Jiang Meng, Zhou Chen's eyes fell on his son Zhou Jia strangely. He felt that there was something wrong with his youngest son's vision.
She is about 1.5 meters tall, has fair skin, a round face, and two dimples when she smiles.
The most important thing is that although she is not tall and looks like she has just entered high school, her figure is not bad and she is very well-proportioned.
"This kid..."
Zhou Chen has been through so many film and television worlds and has had many women, but he has never found a girlfriend like this because such girls do not conform to his aesthetic concepts.
But he didn't expect that his son was so extraordinary and had such vision?
Zhou Jia felt uncomfortable with his father's strange look and unconsciously avoided his gaze.
The meal was very harmonious. Zhou Chen gradually understood the girl's character from the conversation between Zheng Juan and Jiang Meng.
Obviously, although Jiang Meng was nervous when facing them, she was not afraid. It seemed that Zhou Jia had not mentioned their family situation.
Secondly, Jiang Meng should have had very good upbringing. She is humble and polite, and speaks in an orderly manner. From her performance, it can be seen that she is not a strong person, but rather has a soft personality.
In short, Zhou Chen's first impression of Jiang Meng was pretty good.
When they separated, Zhou Chen took his son aside and talked to him.
"Jia Jia, you know my dad's temper. I don't care who you date or how many girlfriends you have, but since you brought her to me, it means you are serious about your relationship with Jiang Meng. I don't care what will happen to you in the future, but while you are in love, you have to treat her well, understand?"
Zhou Jia answered seriously, "Dad, I'm not that kind of person. Don't worry, Xiao Meng and I will get married in the future."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "I hope so."
Zhou Jia was only twenty years old, and marriage was too far away for him, so he didn't take it too seriously.
After meeting Zhou Jia and Jiang Meng, Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan stayed in Yanjing for a few more days, and then went to Shanghai to meet their daughter.
After university started, Zhou Chen took Zheng Juan back to Jichun.
I went to see Sun Ganchao first. Sun Ganchao was in very bad condition and looked like an old man who was about to die.
Zhou Chen talked a lot with Sun Ganchao, from his childhood to his future work.
As they chatted, Sun Ganchao couldn't control his tears.
"Kun'er, I don't have much ability. If it weren't for you, I would probably regret it for the rest of my life."
Thinking of his mediocrity in the first half of his life and then thinking about how Zhou Chen helped him, he felt infinite gratitude towards Zhou Chen.
At the beginning, Zhou Chen helped him and Yu Hong find jobs on the construction site, and later let them join the pharmaceutical factory and even become leaders, which made their family's life better and better.
The money for their children to go to college and buy a house was all earned by Zhou Chen.
In addition to their family, there is also his sister Sun Xiaoning. Sun Xiaoning, who failed to get into university, was cheated when she went to work in another place. She relied on Zhou Chen's relationship and found a job in Chenxing Group in Pengcheng. She is doing very well now.
Therefore, Zhou Chen has done a great favor to their family, and they will never be able to repay him in this lifetime.
Zhou Chen said softly: "We are Fa Xiao, we are brothers, so there is no need to say polite words."
Sun Ganchao smiled and said, "I have no regrets in this life. Kun'er, I can only repay your kindness in my next life."
"Kun'er, don't say anything. Let me talk. If possible, after I leave, I hope you have time to come and see me. Bring me a few bottles of good wine, and we can have a good drink together as brothers."
They hadn't had a drink together for many years since he was diagnosed with the disease, and he had always thought about it.
"Also, don't blame Guoqing and Wu Qian."
There was nothing between Zhou Chen and Xiao Guoqing, but Wu Qian was restless. She had approached Zhou Chen many times, hoping that he would get her a job in the factory.
Zhou Chen couldn't refuse for Xiao Guoqing's sake, so he let her go. But who knew that she didn't want to be a worker at all. She insisted that if Yu Hong could be a cadre, she could be one too, and she even dragged Xiao Guoqing to find Zhou Chen.
In the end, the two sides parted on bad terms, Xiao Guoqing even beat Wu Qian up, and they almost got divorced.
But after that incident, Zhou Chen's interactions with their family became less frequent.
What is worrying is not the lack of food but the inequality of distribution. Human hearts are so complicated, especially those like Wu Qian who will never be satisfied. That is the true sense of gratitude for a little bit of rice and resentment for a big bit of rice.
"You, don't worry so much."
Zhou Chen patted Sun Ganchao on the shoulder. At their age, they can figure out many things on their own without anyone telling them.
After chatting with Sun Ganchao for several hours, Zhou Chen got up to say goodbye. He knew that Sun Ganchao didn't have much time left.
Zhou Bingyi’s sixtieth birthday arrived, and this time, the three siblings of the Zhou family gathered together again for a rare occasion.
Zhou Bingyi was a little embarrassed, but Zhou Chen seemed very natural. As long as I was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.
Time flies. The era of Zhou Chen and his older generation has passed, and a new era for young people has arrived.
The most significant change was the booming development of the Internet and smartphones. Over the next decade or so, the world changed dramatically.
Although Zhou Chen knew the future social development, he did not interfere with the development of Chenxing Group, but handed over all power to Zhou Rui. As for whether Zhou Rui could foresee the future economic situation and which industry he was going to vigorously develop, he did not worry about it.
Anyway, with the current financial situation of Chenxing Group, as long as Zhou Rui is not crazy, even if he keeps losing, it will be enough for him to lose for a long time.
He is just a father and cannot protect his child forever. What's more, Zhou Rui is already in his forties and no longer needs his protection.
The younger generation of children all lived a good life.
Zhou Rui is now the chairman of Chenxing Group. He has three daughters and one son. His son and two daughters all work in Chenxing Group.
The second son's career has had its ups and downs, but it is considered good. He has already become a senior official in the city and there is room for promotion.
After he got married early in his life, he had a daughter. Later, after the country allowed second births, he had a pair of twin sons. This was inherited from Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan.
The youngest son Zhou Jia is a doctor at Union Hospital. He and Jiang Meng were together until the end and have a son and a daughter.
The life of the youngest daughter, Xiao Lingdang, was not as smooth as that of her three brothers. She got married but divorced, and now lives with her daughter.
Feng Yue, on the other hand, was used to the world of fancy and had several boyfriends, but in the end she did not get married or have children. She just took Zhou Rui's little daughter to live with her.
At the same time, the elderly Zhou Rong also lives with Feng Yue. When she was young, she didn't care much about Feng Yue, but when she got old, she asked Feng Yue to support her. Although she would always be criticized by Feng Yue, for Zhou Rong, it was a good life in her later years.
Zhou Bingyi was the first to pass away among the three siblings. He was only in his sixties when he passed away. However, Hao Dongmei was in good health.
Later Zhou Chen heard that Hao Dongmei had found a new partner...
The time has come to 2038.
Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan are both over 80 years old. Zhou Chen is still in good health and should have no problem living another two or three years, but Zheng Juan's health is not good anymore.
Zheng Juan, 88 years old, already has silver hair, teeth that were filled later, and a face full of wrinkles and scars. She is no longer beautiful.
But to Zhou Chen, Zheng Juan like this is even more attractive. This woman who has been with him for more than 60 years is the one who has accompanied him for the longest time since he obtained the system and traveled through multiple film and television worlds.
Zhao Yingnan in "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze Is Not as Good as You" also lived with him for a long time, but she was different from Zheng Juan. She had her own career, but after Zheng Juan got together with Zhou Chen, she never worked in her life and always stayed by Zhou Chen's side. No matter when Zhou Chen came back, he could see this gentle and kind woman.
Zheng Juan relies on Zhou Chen for her whole life, all her emotions, and everything. She is Zhou Chen's true other half.
So Zhou Chen is happy throughout his life in this world. He is really very happy to have such a wife who devotes herself to him wholeheartedly.
Zhou Chen felt that even if he could travel through more worlds in the future, his hope of finding a wife like Zheng Juan would be too slim.
Zhou Chen was very reluctant to leave. He wanted to stay with Zheng Juan longer, but Zheng Juan could no longer hold on and could not stay with him any longer.
Zheng Juan stayed in the hospital for a while before she finally grabbed Zhou Chen's hands.
"Bingkun, I don't want to stay in the hospital, let's go home."
Zhou Chen fulfilled her wish and took her back home. He cooked for Zheng Juan himself. Although Zheng Juan only drank a few sips of soup in the end, he was already very satisfied.
Zheng Juan was lying on the bed, and Zhou Chen was lying next to her, face to face.
"Bingkun, I am very happy in my life. Very, very, very happy."
As she spoke, a blush appeared on Zheng Juan's pale face, and she seemed to have more strength to speak.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but just gently stroked her cheek with his hand.
Feeling Zhou Chen's love, Zheng Juan smiled happily, just like a little child.
"Bingkun, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while. Can you stay with me?"
"Well, Juan'er, I will always be with you. Go to sleep, and when you wake up, you can see me anytime."
Zheng Juan leaned closer to Zhou Chen, found a comfortable position, and then slowly closed her heavy eyelids.
Zhou Chen still gently stroked Zheng Juan's cheek with his hand and hummed a song softly.
Zheng Juan's breathing gradually became weak, and her breath was about to disappear.
"Bingkun, if there is a next life, I will marry you again, and you must marry me too, okay?"
Zhou Chen could no longer control himself and tears burst out.
"Okay, okay, there's still the next life, I will definitely marry you."
As if she heard Zhou Chen's voice, a smile broke out on Zheng Juan's lips, and the next moment, her breathing suddenly stopped.
Zhou Chen suppressed his sadness, moved his body closer to Zheng Juan, and slowly closed his eyes.
He no longer has any attachment to this world.
