Chapter 12: Inexplicable Thoughts

Chapter 12: Inexplicable Thoughts

Early 1978.

The Guangzi Pian of Jichun City was completely blown away by a piece of news. The news was really too explosive. All three children of the Zhou family were admitted to university.

The eldest son Zhou Bingyi and the second son Zhou Rong were admitted to Peking University, one of the top universities, and the third son Zhou Bingkun was also admitted to Northeast Normal University.

When the neighbors in Guangzi Pian heard the news, they all envied Zhou Zhiqiang and Li Suhua for their good parenting skills, which was really amazing.

"Bingkun, I heard that your college entrance examination results were very good and you could definitely apply to Peking University or Tsinghua University. Why did you apply to Northeast Normal University instead? This is such a pity!" Qiao Chunyan's mother brought a group of old neighbors to Zhou's house to congratulate Zhou's mother Li Suhua, and then looked at Zhou Bingkun who was standing aside.

"Aunt Qiao, Northeast Normal University is great! Tuition is free, there's a staff position, and you'll be assigned a job upon graduation! The most important thing is that it's still in Jichun, and I can come home every day!" Zhou Bingkun explained with a smile.

"Oh! Bingkun is still filial! However, with Zheng Juan from your family here, and your mother's health is also very good, you can definitely go to college in Beijing!"

"Haha, Aunt Qiao, now with Yueyue included, we have three children in our family. No matter how healthy my mother is, she always needs someone to accompany her! I'd better stay by her side, so I'll feel more at ease!" Zhou Bingkun explained with a smile again.

After hearing Zhou Bingkun's explanation, Aunt Qiao and the neighbors in Guangzi Pian all showed complicated expressions.

We are all children and grew up together in Guangzi Pian. Why is Zhou Bingkun from the Zhou family so capable and filial?

Thinking of this, they originally thought that Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong had the most promising prospects, but now after comparison, the youngest Zhou Bingkun is the most capable and the most dedicated.

"Bingkun, you are so nice! If I could have a son like you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!" Aunt Qiao said with emotion.

"Come on! Bingkun, he's a bastard. He makes me so angry that my stomach hurts every day! Your Chunyan is still the best. I heard that she is the deputy director of the Women's Federation! That's a real skill!" Zhou's mother Li Suhua, who was standing by, heard Aunt Qiao and the neighbors praising Zhou Bingkun, and immediately complained unhappily.

"Yes! Yes! What Suhua said makes sense! Your Chunyan is very capable too!" When the neighbors in Guangzi heard the praise from Zhou's mother Li Suhua, they all started to compliment Qiao Chunyan.

Hearing her precious daughter being complimented and praised by the neighbors, Aunt Qiao unconsciously revealed a proud expression, saying, "Your Zhou family is really amazing. Three of them were admitted to university at once! This is unique in Jichun, and even in the whole of Jiangliao!"

Unlike others who were beaming with joy, Zheng Juan looked a little worried when she saw Zhou Bingkun was admitted to university.

Seeing Zheng Juan's performance, Zhou Bingkun didn't know what was going on, so he smiled and comforted her, "Silly wife! Your man has made it big, you should be happy! No matter how great I become in the future, I will never forget you, my wife who has endured the hardships of life!"

"Hmph! That's a nice thing to say! Now you're starting to dislike me as your wife! When you become a high official in the future, you won't be too lazy to even look at me, right?" Zheng Juan was very happy to hear Zhou Bingkun's comfort, but she still spoke harshly.

"Haha, I'm a fool. Why would I want to be a high-ranking official? Being an official is meaningless. My favorite days are a warm bed with my wife and children! The reason I chose this university is just to prevent myself from regretting it." Zhou Bingkun kissed Zheng Juan and explained with a smile.

"Just imagine, if my brother and sister both got into the prestigious Peking University, and I was just a stay-at-home mom, wouldn't my spine be stabbed to death by others? That would be so great! I could live a life of dignity! Otherwise, I would really be suppressed by my brothers and sisters forever!"

"Haha, Bingkun, you are too strong-willed! You still care about these things with your brother and sister!" After hearing Zhou Bingkun's strong-willed explanation, Zheng Juan said jokingly with a smile.

"Hey! You don't understand! The closer siblings are, the more they like to compare! Even close playmates always compare with each other! Do you really think that we, the 'Six Gentlemen', are all so harmonious, without any twists and turns or scheming?"

"Well! Bingkun, you make sense! But, with so many beautiful female students on the university campus, I'm still worried that you will..."

"Haha, I don't really like deep exchanges without emotions! The college entrance examination has been suspended for ten years, and many students have already married and had children! Juan'er, do you think I would be the kind of hungry wolf who would eat anything?" "Really? Many people are really married and have children?"

"What a silly wife! Our Zhou family's three college graduates have already started families and established careers! With such an obvious example right here, you still have doubts?"

"Haha, yes! Why didn't I think of it!"

"However, Juan'er, it's hard to say what will happen in the future! Anyway, you will always be my, Zhou Bingkun's, wife!" Zhou Bingkun suddenly looked at Zheng Juan seriously.

"Yes! Bingkun, I am already very satisfied to marry you! I am really happy now!"

Zhou Zhiqiang, who was far away in Chongqing, was extremely proud when he heard that his three children had all been admitted to university.

But seeing his eldest son Zhou Bingyi's troubled expression, Zhou Zhiqiang asked with some confusion, "Bingyi, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried on such a happy occasion?"

"The main reason is that my younger brother, Zhou Bingkun, also got into university, so I'm worried that if the three of us go away to college, there will be no one to take care of my mom! So..."

"So what?" Zhou Zhiqiang asked bluntly.

"So, why don't we let Bingkun stop going to college and just stay at home to take care of my mom!
Besides, he only applied to an ordinary Northeast Normal University, not a top university!"

"What? Bingyi, you are too selfish!

What happened to Northeast Normal University?
Isn’t it a real university?
Considering your brother Zhou Bingkun's situation, was it easy for him to get into a regular university?

"Besides, I heard that Northeast Normal University is right here in Jichun. Bingkun can still take care of the family, and there's Zheng Juan at home. Why can't he also go to university?"

“But Dad, no matter how close Bingkun is to home, he’s still not free!

If something happens at home, a man is definitely needed!

Zheng Juan has to take care of three children and my mother at the same time, she really can’t do it all!”

"Haha, Bingyi, I really didn't realize that you have become so selfish now!
You disappoint me so much!
Since the three of you really need to give up one of you to go to college, then you, Zhou Bingyi, are the eldest in the family, so you should stay at home! "Looking at his selfish eldest son Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Zhiqiang felt very uncomfortable, and then he made the arrangement with a sneer.

"Dad" Zhou Bingyi widened his eyes in shock.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhou Bingyi not to go to college, but he never dared to ask Zhou Bingkun to give up going to college in front of Zhou Zhiqiang again.

Zhou Rong, who had already flown to the capital, was anxiously waiting for news from her brother Zhou Bingyi.

That’s right, Zhou Bingyi came all the way to Chongqing this time just because he had discussed it with Zhou Rong.
