Chapter 9: The Happy Event of Guang Zi Pian
Zhou Bingkun always does what he says and doesn't like to procrastinate. The next day, he went to the soy sauce factory to get a marriage certificate, and then took Zheng Juan to the street office to get a marriage certificate.

Holding the marriage certificate, Zhou Bingkun looked at Zheng Juan, who was so excited that she was about to cry, and said jokingly, "Juan'er, today is our big day, you should be smiling! Why are you crying?"

"Well! I am happy!" Zheng Juan explained with tears in her eyes after hearing Zhou Bingkun's words.

"Let's live a good life in the future. Happy days are yet to come!" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile after hearing Zheng Juan's explanation.

After returning home, he handed the marriage certificate to Zhou's mother. Although Zhou's mother had been mentally prepared, she was still surprised at her son Zhou Bingkun's courage when she actually got the marriage certificate. "Kun'er! From now on, you will have a family!

You must live a good life and treat Zheng Juan well!"

"Mom, don't worry!

I will definitely not let Juan'er down! " After hearing Zhou's mother's instructions, Zhou Bingkun touched Zheng Juan's head lovingly, then smiled and promised.

Family conditions in this era are relatively difficult, and few people hold large banquets for weddings. They just gather relatives and friends together and have a simple banquet, and that is considered a marriage.

Because Zhou's father Zhou Zhigang, elder brother Zhou Bingyi, and sister Zhou Rong are not at home, it seems inappropriate to hold a wedding banquet, so they want to wait until they come back this year to discuss the wedding banquet.

But Zhou Bingkun knew that this year his father Zhou Zhigang would go to Guizhou to visit Zhou Rong, and Zhou Bingyi would most likely marry Hao Dongmei, so he would not go home for the New Year.

When the family got together again, it was the Spring Festival of 1976. By then, Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan's children would have run around everywhere, which is why Zhou Bingkun was not afraid of his father Zhou Zhigang.

Speaking of Zhou Bingyi, since the last time he took Zhou Bingkun's mother to the Construction Corps, he reminded Zhou Bingyi once, but Zhou Bingyi did not take Zhou Bingkun's reminder to heart. Instead, just like in the original drama, he directly rejected the promotion of Deputy Political Commissar Ming and chose his love without hesitation.

Zhou Bingkun no longer has any hope for this adopted brother. Zhou Bingyi's life trajectory is difficult to change because he is very confident that he will not regret it.

With the new member, the Zhou family seemed much more lively. Every day there was laughter and joy in the family. Zhou's mother also realized that Zhou Bingkun really fell in love with this daughter-in-law. As a mother, Zhou's mother was also very happy.

The news that Zhou Bingkun suddenly got married spread throughout Guangzi District. Every neighbor who heard the news was stunned with surprise.

"Chun Yan, today I finally understood what was going on. It turns out that Zhou Bingkun didn't dislike you, but he already had someone else chosen!

They deliberately hid it from us. The Zhou family is really a piece of shit!
No, I can't swallow this breath. Tomorrow I will go to Li Suhua to settle this account!" Qiao Chunyan's mother heard the news of Zhou Bingkun's marriage and was so angry that she could not control herself. She said to Qiao Chunyan in a bad mood.

Hearing her mother's plan, Qiao Chunyan was very angry, but she still maintained a trace of calm, and then persuaded her mother, "Mom, you are confused!
Although we can't be relatives, we will still be neighbors in the future!
We can’t make the relationship too awkward!
Mom, look at the five members of the Zhou family, each of them is very capable!
Maybe in the future, we will still need the Zhou family's help!"

"Besides, Zhou Bingkun never liked me in the first place!

If you knock on our door directly, we will not be able to handle it!"

"Hey! Chunyan, look, Mom is so angry at Zhou Bingkun that she's lost her mind!

Look how good our Chunyan is, she is the deputy director of the "Public Bathhouse"!
Zhou Bingkun will regret it later!" After hearing her daughter Qiao Chunyan's analysis, Aunt Qiao gradually calmed down and stopped making a fuss. Then she boasted about it.

Although Qiao Chunyan said it lightly, she hated Zhou Bingkun in her heart. She really couldn't understand what was wrong with her, Qiao Chunyan? Was she really not as good as Zheng Juan?

"Mom, I received two letters today!

One was sent by my father from Sichuan, and the other was sent by my brother from the Construction Corps!
Which one do you want to read first?" Zhou Bingkun held the two letters and asked Zhou's mother in a teasing tone.

"You naughty child, any letter will do, just read it to me!" Hearing the sarcasm in her son Zhou Bingkun's words, Zhou's mother scolded Zhou Bingkun directly without considering Zheng Juan's face.

"Haha, Mom, don't be anxious!

So, let me take a look at the letter first, and then tell you their general meaning!
Come back and let Juan'er read it to you slowly!" Seeing the anxious look on Zhou's mother's face, Zhou Bingkun suggested with a smile.

"Juan'er, do you know how to read?
That would be great!
You don't have to beg me anymore, you little idiot! " Upon hearing Zhou Bingkun's suggestion, Zhou's mother suddenly said with joy.

"Ah? I can't read much, please don't dislike me, mom!" Zheng Juan said nervously when she heard Zhou Bingkun's arrangement.

"Haha, don't worry!
Our mother can't read, but you're much better than her. Read to her slowly!" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile when he heard Zheng Juan's concerns.

Hearing the teasing in her son Zhou Bingkun's words, Zhou's mother looked at him helplessly, then said to Zheng Juan, "Juan'er, don't worry!
Now that you can read, I will never ask Zhou Bingkun for help again!
He's a piece of ass!"

"My father's letter said that he went to Guizhou this year to visit my sister Zhou Rong. It seems that he has forgiven her!
Also, my sister is pregnant! "The reason Zhou Bingkun made this arrangement was to make the relationship between Zhou's mother and Zheng Juan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, more harmonious. Then he explained the contents of the letter with a smile.

"That's great!
Your dad, with his bad temper, actually forgave your sister!
What about your brother's?" Zhou's mother, Li Suhua, said happily when she heard the news in Zhou Bingkun's letter of introduction that Zhou's father, Zhou Zhiqiang, had forgiven Zhou Rong.

"My brother said that he will not come back this year and will stay in the Construction Corps to marry Hao Dongmei!

This is another great joyous occasion! "After hearing Zhou's mother ask about his brother Zhou Bingyi's news, Zhou Bingkun briefly introduced it.

"Great! You're married too!

This is a triple blessing for our family!
But you should write a letter to your sister and ask her to go back to Northeast China to give birth to the baby!

What will she do if no one takes care of her during the confinement period? " Upon hearing that Zhou Bingyi was also going to marry Hao Dongmei, Zhou's mother said with surprise, and then she became worried about Zhou Rong.

"Mom, don't worry!
The weather in Guizhou is much better than in Northeast China!

Besides, my brother-in-law is much older than my sister, so he must be very good at taking care of people!
Don't worry!" Thinking back to the original drama, her cheap brother-in-law Feng Huacheng was indeed a good caregiver, and then she smiled and comforted Zhou's mother.

"Juan'er, this letter is for you!
Read it slowly to our mother!" Zhou Bingkun handed the letter to Zheng Juan beside him and said with a smile.

"Juan'er, come inside and read the letter to Mom!

Let Kuner make dinner tonight!
Can't let him be idle! "Hearing Zhou Bingkun's comfort, Zhou's mother thought about it and thought, "I think it makes sense." Seeing Zhou Bingkun hand the letter to Zheng Juan on the side, Zhou's mother hurriedly took Zheng Juan's hand and said.

"Okay, Mom!" After hearing Zhou's mother's arrangement, Zheng Juan looked at Zhou Bingkun with amusement, then said with a smile.

Ever since Zhou's mother ate the meal Zhou Bingkun cooked last time, she often asked Zhou Bingkun to stay in the kitchen for various reasons, which made Zhou Bingkun regret his impulsiveness.

It was almost the end of the year, and Zhou's mother took Zheng Juan to the "Public Bathhouse" to take a bath. However, when they arrived at the door, they realized that they had forgotten to bring the bath ticket. "Oh no!
Juan'er, I forgot my bath ticket and money at home!

This is how to do? "

“Mom, it’s okay!
I brought it!
Before going out, Bingkun reminded me that you might forget the bath ticket and money!
So she asked me to bring more, just in case! " Hearing what Zhou's mother was worried about, Zheng Juan took out the bath ticket and explained with a smile.

"Hey, you brat!

I've noticed that he's become more and more attentive since you two got married!

The cooking skills are also good!

Haha, from now on, my mother and I will deliberately find some excuses to let Bingkun go to the kitchen to cook!"

"Mom, no need!

He's been busy outside all day, so I should be the one doing the housework!" Zheng Juan said with some heartache when she heard that Zhou's mother wanted Zhou Bingkun to cook all the time.

"Haha, don't feel sorry for him!
I know he's ambitious. If he ends up being away from home all year round like his father, this opportunity will be a rare one!" Hearing Zheng Juan's heartache for Zhou Bingkun, Zhou's mother said happily.

Qiao Chunyan suddenly saw Zhou's mother and hurried over to greet her with a smile, saying, "Godmother, you're here to take a shower!"

"Chunyan, I heard that you are now the deputy director of the "Public Bathhouse"?

You're so promising! " Seeing Qiao Chunyan in front of her, Zhou's mother said happily.

"Godmother, look at what you said!

Even if I become the director, I am still your goddaughter!
This must be my brother-in-law’s new wife, right?
You are really beautiful, no wonder my brother looked down on me at first! " Qiao Chunyan was very happy with Zhou's mother's praise, and she couldn't help but said happily, then looked at Zheng Juan who was standing aside.

"Yes! She is my daughter-in-law, her name is Zheng Juan!" Hearing Qiao Chunyan's carefree attitude, Zhou's mother felt a little embarrassed, and finally understood why Zhou Bingkun refused to agree, and then she introduced her with a smile.

"Hello, Zheng Juan! I'm Qiao Chunyan!"

"Hello, Chunyan!"

People are afraid of comparison. Now looking back at Qiao Chunyan and Zheng Juan, Zhou's mother feels more and more that her son Zhou Bingkun is the best at judging people and his analysis is correct!
Then looking at Zheng Juan, Zhou's mother was becoming more and more satisfied. It was a blessing in her previous life that her son Zhou Bingkun could find such a good wife.

"Mom, my dad and brother won't be back this year, so I plan to invite Sun Ganchao, Xiao Guoqing, and the others to our house for a get-together!

The last time I changed jobs, I still owed them a drink!
Zheng Juan and I are getting married, so let's have a wedding banquet!" Zhou Bingkun suddenly suggested, looking at his mother Li Suhua.

Hearing Zhou Bingkun's proposal, Zhou's mother was very surprised, and then asked doubtfully, "Holding the wedding banquet without waiting for your father and your brother?"

“I can’t wait any longer!
By the time my dad and the others come back, your grandson will have run away everywhere!" Hearing Zhou's mother's doubts, Zhou Bingkun said with a helpless smile.

"You idiot, are you so sure?" After hearing what her son Zhou Bingkun said, Zhou's mother agreed. Then, when she heard the exaggeration in Zhou Bingkun's words, she said unhappily.

"Hey, Mom, Juan'er is probably pregnant!

Just wait a few days, I will take her to the hospital for a check-up!" Seeing Zhou's mother's doubt, Zhou Bingkun suddenly said to her with a mysterious look on his face.

“Ah? Really!
You little bastard, you’re really something!
"Kun'er, you've finally done something great!" Zhou's mother said with joy upon hearing the news about her son Zhou Bingkun.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Zhou Bingkun gathered all the "Six Gentlemen", and Xiao Guoqing also brought his girlfriend Wu Qian over. A large group of people gathered in Zhou Bingkun's house in a lively atmosphere.

"Brother Bingkun, we really didn't expect that you would be the first among our 'Six Gentlemen' to get married!" Sun Ganchao said in surprise as he looked at Zheng Juan standing beside him.

"Haha, if you meet the right person and don't act quickly, you will really regret it!
I heard that Qiao Chunyan introduced you to someone?" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile after hearing what Sun Ganchao said.

"Yes! Her name is Yu Hong, and she's also a female worker at the 'Public Bathhouse'!"

We are talking about it now!" Sun Ganchao explained sweetly after hearing Zhou Bingkun's question.

"Haha, with Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian, we all have our own families!

It seems that today's gathering is really suitable!" Zhou Bingkun said happily after hearing Sun Ganchao's explanation.

Xiao Guoqing, who was standing by, heard what Zhou Bingkun said and suddenly said shyly, "Brother Bingkun, don't talk nonsense!
Wu Qian is my cousin!"

"Yes! You see, I forgot for a moment!

Haha, Wu Qian is your cousin! " Hearing Xiao Guoqing's guilty rebuttal, Zhou Bingkun said jokingly with a smile.

Everyone laughed happily after hearing Xiao Guoqing's explanation which was trying to cover up the truth and Zhou Bingkun's jokes about Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian.

Qiao Chunyan, who was outside the house, heard the noise inside and walked in with candied haws and popsicles in her hands. She asked aggressively, "What are you guys talking about? Why are you so happy?"

Upon seeing Qiao Chunyan, Cao Debao, who was staying in the corner, immediately revived and said excitedly, "Brother Bingkun, who is this beautiful sister?"

Hearing Cao Debao's doubts, Zhou Bingkun realized that this was a match made in heaven, and then said with a wry smile, "Okay! There are four pairs of older young people in the Guangzi piece, so this is a clue!"

"Brother, what are you talking about?

My name is Qiao Chunyan, and you were the one who played the harmonica just now, right?
You play it so beautifully! " Hearing the teasing in Zhou Bingkun's words, Qiao Chunyan glanced at Zhou Bingkun coquettishly, then said to Cao Debao beside her with a look of affection.

"My name is Cao Debao! I play the harmonica!" How could Cao Debao not notice the interest in him in Qiao Chunyan's words? He quickly stretched out his hands happily and introduced himself.
