Chapter 28 Zhou Bingkun is very talented
The Zhou family had a very frustrating and embarrassing New Year. The gifts they gave out were returned unopened by the other party. Zhou Zhiqiang, Zhou's father, felt really embarrassed.

Zhou Zhiqiang, Zhou's father, did not say anything because he felt so aggrieved. His children had grown up and had their own conflicts, but he, as a father, was powerless to do anything.

Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng felt very uncomfortable and were restless staying at the Zhou family's house. On the third day of the New Year, they took their child Feng Yue and left the Zhou family's house.

Seeing Zhou Zhiqiang's unhappy look on his face, Zhou Bingkun knew that he had a great responsibility. If he hadn't wanted to kill Zhou Rong with one blow, he wouldn't have had to treat the matter so extreme.

"Brother, you and your sister-in-law should come back on the fifth day of the New Year!"

"It's the fifth day of the New Year. Is there something going on at home?" Zhou Bingyi looked at Zhou Bingkun in front of him with some confusion.

"My dad decided a few years ago to invite Mr. Zhou, who designed our house, to our house for a visit!
I also plan to invite Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen and his wife as well!
It just so happens that you, your sister-in-law, and Ma Shouchang and his wife are all acquaintances, so you can avoid embarrassment later!"

"Ah? I understand! Do you want me to bring something?" Zhou Bingyi asked in surprise.

"Forget it! You don't need to bring anything!

There is everything at home!
Moutai and Huazi, plenty of them!" Zhou Bingkun suddenly said proudly.

Seeing his younger brother Zhou Bingkun returning to his arrogant self again, Zhou Bingyi could only shake his head and smile bitterly, then he looked at Hao Dongmei and left the Zhou family helplessly.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Zhou family was very lively. There were four heavyweight guests, including the old couple Zhou and Ma Shouchang and his wife, which made the Zhou family very lively.

"Where is Bingkun? Why doesn't he come out to greet us?" As soon as Ma Shouchang entered the Zhou family's house, he looked around the Zhou family's new house and then asked Zhou Bingyi.

"Uncle Ma, Bingkun is busy in the kitchen!
He wants to personally cook a feast for you!" Zhou Bingyi explained with a smile.

"What? He cooks? Is the food he cooks edible?" Ma Shouchang looked at Qu Xiuzhen in surprise, and then said in disbelief.

"Haha, Uncle Ma!

you do not know!

Bingkun is the best cook in our family!
It's almost reaching the level of a master chef!" Hao Dongmei, who was standing by, also explained with a smile.

"Really?" After hearing Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei's explanation, Ma Shouchang was still a little skeptical.

Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen walked into the Zhou family's house half-believing and half-doubting, and then saw the old couple Zhou sitting there, showing a surprised expression, "Old Zhou, why are you two here too?"

"Haha, Old Ma!

Zhou Bingkun and I are good friends regardless of age difference!

I helped design this new house!
Of course I would be here,” Mr. Zhou explained with a happy smile when he saw his old acquaintance.

"Ah? Zhou Bingkun is so influential? He can actually invite you, Old Zhou, to come!"

"Haha, I, Old Zhou, have always valued talent, so of course I have to give Zhou Bingkun some face!"

"Great! Since we all know each other, let's sit together!" Zhou Zhiqiang, Zhou's father, saw that Ma Shouchang and Mr. Zhou were both acquaintances, and greeted them with a smile.

Zhou Bingkun, upon hearing the noise, quickly ran out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Great!

Now all the guests are here!
The meal is ready too!

Let’s sit down and eat and talk!”

After asking everyone to sit down, Zheng Juan began to serve the dishes, "Mr. Zhou, Auntie, I'm sorry that I had to make do with you having a meal in my school cafeteria last time!
How about trying my cooking today? "

"And Uncle Ma, Secretary Qu, I really regretted not being able to go to your house for dinner last time!

Then I will study cooking hard, you guys come and try it too!"

"Then I really have to try it!" Ma Shouchang said with a smile, then picked up a piece of braised beef and tasted it directly, his eyes lighting up unconsciously.

"Bingkun, sure! Did you really do this yourself?"

"Of course, Uncle Ma, I won't joke about this!" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.

"Old Zhou, come and try it too, it tastes really good!" After hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, Ma Shouchang also called out to Old Zhou next to him.

Mr. Zhou also tasted it hesitantly, but he was very satisfied and said, "It's really good!

Much better than the cook at Bingkun School!"

"I think Mr. Zhou and Uncle Ma knew each other before?" Zhou Bingkun said with a confused smile.

"Haha, we are old friends!

But, Bingkun, how did you get to know Lao Zhou?
You can even ask him to help you design a house!" Ma Shouchang said in surprise.

“I wrote an article about the Hexi Corridor some time ago, which required some drawings, so I came to Mr. Zhou for help!
Later, when I wanted to build a new house, it was Mr. Zhou who designed it for me again!" Zhou Bingkun explained with a smile.

"What about you? Old Ma! How did you get to know Bingkun?" Mr. Zhou was also very curious.

"Haha, Zhou Bingkun is my savior!

In 1972, I accidentally broke my leg while taking a bath in the "Public Bathhouse"!
Fortunately, Zhou Bingkun sent me to the hospital at that time!
Otherwise, at least I would not be able to save my leg!" Ma Shouchang explained with a smile.

After everyone had explained themselves, they relaxed completely. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the banquet ended with both the host and the guests enjoying themselves.

Looking at the lively scene, Zhou Zhiqiang, Zhou's father, forgot the unpleasantness before the New Year and drank a lot of wine happily.

"By the way! Bingkun, you just said that you wrote something called "Hexi Corridor". Can you show it to me?" Ma Shouchang suddenly said to Zhou Bingkun while drinking tea after dinner.

"Okay! I'll get it for you now!" Zhou Bingkun stood up and returned to the room with a smile.

Ma Shouchang took the "Hexi Corridor" handed over by Zhou Bingkun and read it curiously with Qu Xiuzhen next to him. The two who didn't take it seriously at first became more and more shocked.

"Bingkun, did you really write this?"

Seeing the shock on the faces of his old friends Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen, Old Zhou laughed heartily, "Old Ma, I, Old Zhou, can guarantee this!

It was indeed written by Bingkun!"

Zhou Zhiqiang, Zhou's father, was really proud when he saw Ma Shouchang and Mr. Zhou praising the works of his youngest son Zhou Bingkun so much. However, when he thought that Zhou Bingkun had decided to "stop writing", he couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhou Bingkun.

"Bingkun, your article 'Hexi Corridor' is very well written. Can I take it home and read it slowly?"

"Of course! Uncle Ma, it's up to you!" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.

One night, Hao's mother suddenly had the urge to visit someone, and so she went to the home of Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen next door.

As soon as I entered their house, I was surprised to find that Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen were both looking at something quietly.

"Lao Ma, Xiao Qu, what are you looking at? So focused?"

"Haha, Sister Jin!
Lao Ma and I are reading "Hexi Corridor" written by Zhou Bingkun!
It’s so beautifully written!
It makes me want to travel to Gansu right away!" Qu Xiuzhen explained with a smile.

"Ah? Didn't Zhou Bingkun write "The Rise of Great Powers"? " Hao's mother became a little confused.

"In addition to The Rise of Great Powers, Bingkun also wrote The Hexi Corridor.

After Bingkun wrote "Hexi Corridor", it was directly bought by the "Oriental Daily News" in Hong Kong!

That’s why there’s been no news from the mainland!” Qu Xiuzhen explained with a smile.

After a long time, Ma Shouchang reluctantly put down the Hexi Corridor in his hand and said with lingering feelings, "It's really good! It's really well written!

Zhou Bingkun's historical knowledge is so profound!"

When Hao's mother saw the expressions of Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen, she took the "Hexi Corridor" curiously and read it carefully, becoming more and more surprised.

"Lao Ma, Xiao Qu, I'll take him home to watch for one night, is that okay?"

"Sure! I can take a look at it tomorrow!" Qu Xiuzhen agreed with a smile.

In this way, Zhou Bingkun's "Hexi Corridor" was brought back to the Hao family by Hao's mother and placed in the hands of Hao's father.

"Zhou Bingkun is truly a talented young man!
I heard that he has decided to "stop writing"!

It's such a pity!" Father Hao took off his glasses and said with deep emotion.

"Yeah! The relationship between brothers and sisters is really hard to deal with sometimes!"

"I heard that we didn't go to Cheng Zhou's house on the 29th day of the New Year!

Secretary Xiao Huang also caused a misunderstanding?"

"Yes!" When Hao's mother heard Hao's father mention this matter, she still felt very embarrassed.

"How about this!

Tomorrow is the sixth day of the New Year, so let’s travel light and go directly to visit Zhou’s family!
What do you think? "It was not until this moment that Father Hao truly regarded the Zhou family as equals.

"Old Hao, of course it's great!

We are already relatives, there is no need for a big fanfare! "Mother Hao agreed with Father Hao's arrangement!

"Why don't we just not tell Dongmei and Bingyi!"
