On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan were carrying the gifts they had bought in advance yesterday, and were planning to take Guangming to Xiaoheishan Village after breakfast to settle the matter between Guangming and Zhang Qiaoer.

But he didn't expect Zhou Bingyi, whom he hadn't seen for many days, to suddenly come to his door.

After the winter vacation, Zhou Bingyi stayed at school for a few more days and then went back to Jichun. He visited Li Suhua once on the day he came back and has been living in Hao's house since then.

Hao Dongmei's father fell ill not long after winter entered. Zhou Bingyi stayed with Hao Dongmei during this time, taking care of Hao's father and Hao's mother.

"Bingyi?"

"Aren't you taking care of Dongmei's father in the hospital?" Li Suhua was a little surprised when she saw her eldest son.

Zhou Bingyi's mood was a little low, and his expression was a bit sad: "Dongmei's father left early yesterday morning!"

"Leaving?" Li Suhua reacted quickly and sighed: "Hey!"

"Why did you just leave!"

"He was asleep and dead. When we found out, he was no longer breathing. My father-in-law still had a smile on his face. He must have passed away peacefully."

"Birth, old age, illness and death are all things that everyone has to go through, so don't be too sad." Li Suhua comforted her eldest son.

"Dongmei's father has just passed away, and her mother is getting older. Dongmei is a woman. Now the mother and daughter may not know how uncomfortable they are. Dongmei's parents only have one daughter, Dongmei. As the saying goes,

, a son-in-law and half a son, please pay more attention to Dongmei’s father’s funeral.”

Zhou Bingyi didn't expect his mother to say such words, and it was inevitable that he was a little touched in his heart.

"Don't worry, Mom, I know what to do."

"I'm coming back this time just because I'm afraid you'll be worried, so I'll let you know." Zhou Bingyi said.

Li Suhua quickly urged him: "Okay, okay, I understand. You should go back and watch first. Dongmei and her mother can't live without people around them now."

Looking at the eldest son who was hesitant to speak, Li Suhua couldn't guess what he was thinking, but it didn't take much for Li Suhua to know that it must have something to do with the younger son, otherwise the eldest son would never look like this.

But Wang Zhong and Zhou Zhigang had a big quarrel because of Hao Dongmei's parents, and their good family broke up. Although Wang Zhong never mentioned it later, Li Suhua knew that Wang Zhong had always had a knot in his heart.

"Mom! There's one more thing!" Zhou Bingyi regretted it as soon as he said it.

"What's the matter?" Li Suhua was also understanding: "If it has anything to do with Bingkun, you'd better tell him yourself that I can't be his master."

Zhou Bingyi's eyes flickered and he sighed: "Then forget it!"

"Mom, I'm going to leave first. You have a good rest."

Zhou Bingyi arrived suddenly and left suddenly. He stayed at Wang Zhong's house for less than ten minutes and didn't drink a sip of water.

In the room, Zheng Juan pushed Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong didn't respond. Zheng Juan walked out by herself and called Zhou Bingyi: "Brother, let's go after breakfast. There's food in the pot."

"No, no, there are still a lot of things to do at Dongmei's house! You guys can eat! I'll leave first." Zhou Bingyi and Zheng Juan were still polite, at least they didn't lose face.

The kitchen was in the middle of the back room, separated from the main house by a large courtyard. Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan didn't have the habit of listening to the wall, so naturally they didn't hear the brief conversation between Zhou Bingyi and Li Suhua.

"What are you doing!" Zheng Juan pushed Wang Zhong, with a bit of reproach in her tone: "Big brother didn't even say hello to anyone when he came."

Wang Zhong said calmly: "We have different paths and we have nothing to say to each other."

"Why do you think that's your eldest brother too!" Zheng Juan knew that Wang Zhong had resentment in his heart.

Wang Zhong spread his hands and said, "I didn't say he wasn't my eldest brother either."

Wang Zhong understood what Zheng Juan meant. After all, they were all one family. Brothers born from the same mother's womb, their bones were broken but their tendons were still connected.

Wang Zhong obviously didn't want to get involved with Zhou Bingyi.

"Why!"

Zheng Juan sighed, shook her head, and walked back to the stove.

"People say that brothers fight against tigers, and father and son fight in battle. The eldest brother must also have the same difficulties as the eldest brother. He..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Zhong.

"I know your hard work, but I'm not the kind of person who forces myself to be wronged. If we can't get along, we just can't get along."

"I know he has his difficulties and considerations. I don't say that what he did is necessarily wrong. I can understand him, but that doesn't mean I have to accept it."

"He is the son-in-law of the Hao family, but he is also the eldest son of the old Zhou family. Since he has adopted Hao Dongmei, he has the responsibility and obligation to handle the relationship between the two families. Now that the relationship between the two families has developed like this, Hao Dongmei's parents are indeed responsible.

, but Zhou Bingyi cannot escape the blame."

"It's not like we are rushing to be relatives of the Hao family!"

"Life is only a few decades long, so why should you wrong yourself for the likes and dislikes of others?"

Listening to Wang Zhong's long speech, Zheng Juan shook her head, sighed, and rolled her eyes at Wang Zhong helplessly.

"Why!"

"Forget it, forget it, I can't tell you anything!"

The couple brought millet porridge and steaming steamed buns to the restaurant from under the corridor.

Invite Li Suhua and the children to eat.

Before they started eating, Zheng Juan had just served Li Suhua porridge when she heard Li Suhua say, "Your sister-in-law's father passed away. Bingyi said she left in the early morning."

Zheng Juan was very surprised, her eyes widened with astonishment on her face, and she froze in the act of serving the porridge. She obviously didn't expect that Zhou Bingyi made a special trip just to talk about this matter.

And they all came here specially, but they didn't even tell Wang Zhong. Thinking of Wang Zhong's words just now, Zheng Juan suddenly understood Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong pushed her gently: "Why are you so stunned!"

Zheng Juan woke up suddenly and hurriedly filled the porridge and handed it to Li Suhua and several other children, including Guangming and Wang Chongsheng.

"Kun'er, what do you think about this?" Li Suhua looked at Wang Zhong and asked cautiously.

"Mom!" Wang Zhong swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said, "I don't think it's important. The Hao family's affairs have nothing to do with our family. Besides, I have an eldest brother!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I'm afraid that your eldest brother won't be able to take care of it alone." Li Suhua said worriedly.

Wang Zhong said, "Is there anything I can't take care of? When Juan'er's mother left, I was the one who took care of it. I didn't think I couldn't take care of it."

"How can this be the same!"

"Why are they different!" Wang Zhong didn't take it seriously: "They are both a coffin and a handful of loess. Could it be that my sister-in-law's father is an exception?"

When a person dies, the bird is turned upward, either directly into the coffin and buried in the soil, or after being cremated to ashes, the person is placed in the coffin and buried in the soil.

Zheng Juan gave Wang Zhong a kick from under the table, her eyes signaling that the children were still there.

"Even if we can't take care of it, it's not our turn to take care of it."

Li Suhua looked at his son, shook his head, and sighed: "Hey!"

"Forget it, just know it in your mind. I'm old and my words don't make sense anymore."

"Mom!" Wang Zhong smiled slightly: "Don't waste your time. Your son's temper is just like the stones in the pit, smelly and hard."

"snort!"

"You brat!" Li Suhua glanced at Wang Zhong: "The wings are stiff."

The little old lady also planned to use some gentle methods, but unfortunately Wang Zhong refused to take it.

Wang Zhong looked at the children, rolled his eyes, and showed a mysterious smile: "Congcong, Yueyue! Do you want to go to the countryside to play?"

"There are many cute dogs like Big Hei and Erhei in the countryside! There are also chickens, ducks, pigs, lambs, and many, many small animals!"

“I want to go!”

Zhou Cong and Feng Yue, who were immersed in cooking, quickly raised their heads and answered in unison, their eyes shining brightly.

The two younger ones also quickly raised their heads and looked at Wang Zhong, saying the same thing in unison: "Dad! I'm going too!"

"That's not possible. Our whole family has gone, who can take care of grandma at home?"

The children looked at me and I looked at you. Feng Yue was the first to stand up: "Uncle, you go with your brother and younger brothers and sisters! I'll stay with grandma at home."

"Sister, I will stay with grandma!" After all, the little cotton-padded jacket is sensible. Lingling also expressed her position immediately, got off the stool, walked to Li Suhua, and grabbed Li Suhua's hand: "Grandma, I will stay with you.

grandmother."

"Okay, okay!" Wang Zhong said: "Well, this time, let Congcong and Yueyue go first, while Mingming and Lingling stay at home to take care of grandma!"

"When we go next time, let Mingming and Lingling go, and Congcong and Yueyue stay at home to take care of grandma! What do you think?"
