Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

But now the area inside and outside the gate looks very desolate, with debris flying everywhere, creating a bleak scene.

The factory is still there, but it looks almost exactly like it's closed down!

Workers emerged in twos and threes, their faces devoid of enthusiasm, only showing numbness.

Zhou Bingkun shook his head. In this state, it would be strange if the timber factory didn't go bankrupt.

After waiting for quite a while, Zhou Bingkun finally saw Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing, dressed in factory uniforms and pushing bicycles, come out.

Zhou Bingkun immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Catch up, National Day!"

Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing were discussing whether the factory would be able to pay wages normally during the Spring Festival when they heard someone call their names.

So the two of them looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

When they saw that it was Zhou Bingkun who called them, the two were somewhat incredulous: "Kun'er?"

The two rubbed their eyes hard, and after confirming that they hadn't seen anything, they threw their bicycles aside and ran towards Zhou Bingkun, giving him a big hug each!

Sun Ganchao hugged Zhou Bingkun excitedly and said, "Kun'er, you've finally decided to come back! Two years! You've been gone for two whole years. I thought you were living a good life in the capital and had forgotten about us brothers!"

Xiao Guoqing, standing to the side, said equally excitedly, "It's good that you're back! We brothers can finally be reunited!"

Zhou Bingkun was very pleased to see the two showing their true feelings.

This is my childhood friend!

Although everyone has their own shortcomings and thoughts, this feeling is genuine!

Zhou Bingkun patted the two men on the shoulders and said with a smile, "Let's go, we won't leave until we're drunk tonight!"

Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing quickly said, "Kun'er, this meal has to be on us!"

"Let's not be so formal between brothers," Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.

Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing firmly replied, "No way, this meal has to be on us!"

Seeing that Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing were so determined, Zhou Bingkun naturally didn't say anything more.

The three rode their bicycles to their usual restaurant.

After a round of drinks, both Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing were completely drunk.

Zhou Bingkun first took the two of them home, and then rode his bicycle home himself.

As for their bicycles, they were temporarily left at the restaurant.

Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing can go ride by themselves tomorrow.

Time quickly came to the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day Zhou Zhigang was to return home.

Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Bingyi were woken up early by Li Suhua and then went to the train station to wait for Zhou Zhigang to return.

As Zhou Zhigang's train was about to arrive at the station, Zhou Bingyi, standing on the platform, said to Zhou Bingkun beside him, "Bingkun, don't forget what Mom and I told you. When you see Dad later, be nice to him, understand?"

"I know, brother. You and Mom have said it dozens of times today. My ears are tired of hearing it!" Zhou Bingkun looked at Zhou Bingyi with a helpless expression. "Can't you give my ears a rest?"

Zhou Bingyi said impatiently, "Just hearing it isn't enough; you have to take it to heart!"

"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you guys!" Zhou Bingkun said to Zhou Bingyi, "I promise I'll be nicer later and I definitely won't argue with Dad, okay?"

Zhou Bingyi breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Zhou Bingkun's assurance.

Soon, Zhou Zhigang's train pulled into the station.

Staring at the crowd getting off the bus, Zhou Bingkun quickly spotted Zhou Zhigang getting off.

"Big brother, Dad's over there!" Zhou Bingkun reminded Zhou Bingyi, who was still searching around.

Following the direction Zhou Bingkun pointed, Zhou Bingyi saw Zhou Zhigang's figure.

Zhou Bingyi immediately rushed excitedly towards Zhou Zhigang.

After finally squeezing his way to Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Bingyi happily exclaimed, "Dad!"

Zhou Zhigang was overjoyed, put down his bag, and gave Zhou Bingyi a hug.

After the hug, Zhou Zhigang remarked with emotion, "Bingyi, you've had a great two years at university. You've gotten fairer and more energetic."

"Dad, it's great to see you again! We've all missed you so much!"

Zhou Zhigang said with deep emotion, "I miss you all very much too!"

His wife went to Beijing with his youngest son's family, so he could see his eldest son and daughter anytime and enjoy family life.

But he was alone in a remote mountain town, only able to miss his family, yet unable to see them.

Zhou Bingkun walked up to Zhou Zhigang and calmly called out, "Dad."

This time, Zhou Zhigang didn't give him a cold look. Instead, he patted Zhou Bingkun on the shoulder and said, "Bingkun, you did a great job! I heard from Bingyi that you've taken good care of your mother. Dad is very grateful to you. You've really grown up!"

"Dad, this is what I should do!" Zhou Bingkun said slowly. "But you have suffered all these years. I was inconsiderate in the past and made you angry!"

As long as his father speaks to him kindly, Zhou Bingkun will naturally not argue with him for no reason.

Zhou Zhigang looked at Zhou Bingkun with a complicated expression: "Alright, stop talking. Dad was wrong too. Let's go home. I miss not only you, but also Yan Yan and the others! It's been two years since I last saw them. I don't know if Yan Yan and the others still recognize me."

……

When Zhou Zhigang returned home, it was naturally another scene of family joy.

Now, apart from Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng who haven't returned yet, the entire Zhou family has gathered.

Without Zhou Rong present, the atmosphere at the meal was much more harmonious.

Although Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Zhigang rarely spoke, they were no longer as confrontational as before.

Seeing this scene, Li Suhua was the happiest one.

After dinner, Zhou Zhigang naturally started playing with Zhou Boyan and the other two children.

Seeing that Zhou Zhigang and the three children were having a great time, Zhou Bingyi took out the things he had prepared beforehand: "Dad, these things were given to me by my comrades from the Production and Construction Corps. They are all good things, I've saved them for you, eat and drink as you please."

Upon seeing this, Zhou Zhigang immediately said, "Why did you keep this for me? Hurry up and pack it up and send it to Dongmei's parents."

"Dad, just keep it! Bingyi's comrades sent two copies, and the other one was delivered to our house a while ago," Hao Dongmei said with a smile.

Upon learning that his eldest son had already sent one, Zhou Zhigang nodded in satisfaction.

Then, as if remembering something, Zhou Zhigang placed Zhou Xiangdong on the sofa and said to Zhou Bingyi and his wife, "Wait a moment!"

After saying that, Zhou Zhigang got up and ran to the room, where he took out two things wrapped in oil paper from the bag he had brought back.

Zhou Zhigang returned to the living room with two oil paper packages and said to everyone, "Look, these are two tins of tea I brought from your province. These are rare items! Dongmei, take them to your dad and mom."

Hao Dongmei was at a loss when she saw the two canisters of tea that Zhou Zhigang handed her.

He couldn't help but look at Zhou Bingyi, hoping that Zhou Bingyi would make the decision.

Zhou Bingyi showed no expression, but still nodded to Hao Dongmei.

With Li Suhua smiling and encouraging her, Hao Dongmei finally accepted the gift with peace of mind: "Thank you, Dad."

"We're all family, no need to thank me!" Zhou Zhigang was very happy.

In his eyes, his eldest son marrying Hao Dongmei was a step up for him.

Zhou Bingkun watched from the side without intervening.

He knew what Hao's parents were thinking.

However, Cai Xiaoguang has not asked for help since then, nor has Zhou Bingyi asked Hao's parents for help.

I wonder what Hao's parents think of the Zhou family?

They still don't want to acknowledge the in-law relationship and have no contact with each other.

Or should we go with the flow and have the two families meet to strengthen their relationship?

According to his guess, the former is more likely.

However, what these in-laws did was truly bizarre.

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei have been married for so many years, yet their parents have never met even once!

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei chatted with Zhou Zhigang for a while before riding their bicycles to Hao's house.

After the two of them left, the house became much quieter.

Zhou Bingkun was about to return to his room to cultivate when Zhou Zhigang suddenly called out to him, "Bingkun, come here, I have something to tell you."

Zhou Bingkun was quite surprised that Zhou Zhigang would take the initiative to talk to him.

Li Suhua nudged Zhou Bingkun from the side: "Bingkun, your dad's calling you, hurry up and go!"

Zhou Bingkun followed Zhou Zhigang into the room.

"Close the door!" Zhou Zhigang said to Zhou Bingkun. "Sit down, let's have a good talk, you and I."

Chapter 303, Father and Son Reconcile, Zhou Bingyi's Melancholy Mood! (Please Subscribe!)

Zhou Bingkun sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) next to Zhou Zhigang: "Dad, what do you say?"

“I heard from your mother that you’re doing very well at Capital Medical University!” Zhou Zhigang said with a smile. “Not only did you start your internship at a hospital in your first year, but you also received a scholarship from the university and even became a student of the university’s president, is that right?”

The president Zhou Zhigang was referring to is Zhang Baili, the honorary president of Capital Medical University.

Zhou Bingkun's performance during his hospital internship and the papers he published related to traditional Chinese medicine caught Zhang Baili's attention.

After all, with a world of so many chat group members as a backing, and Zhou Bingkun himself being a cultivator, publishing some advanced TCM papers that were ahead of their time in this world wouldn't be difficult.

After in-depth discussions with Zhou Bingkun, Zhang Baili felt that Zhou Bingkun was a medical genius, and thus had the idea of ​​taking Zhou Bingkun as his disciple.

For people like Zhang Baili who came from the old society, disciples and students are two completely different concepts.

Zhang Baili wanted to take Zhou Bingkun as his disciple, which meant he was prepared to impart all his medical skills to him!

Zhou Bingkun naturally had no objection to this.

After all, Zhang Baili is a leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine in this era, and I can learn a lot from him.

It was under Zhang Baili's complete tutelage that Zhou Bingkun's medical skills improved remarkably rapidly!

Zhou Bingkun nodded at Zhou Zhigang and said with a smile, "Yes! My master has been saying he wants to meet you and see what kind of father could raise such an outstanding person as me!"

Hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, Zhou Zhigang couldn't help but laugh and say, "Don't worry, when I have time, I will definitely go to see your master and thank him for his guidance!"

"Bingkun, of the three of you siblings, you were the one I worried about the most! It's not that I have a problem with you, it's just that your performance at school was far inferior to that of your older brother and sister!"

"But now it seems I misjudged you! Of the three of you siblings, you are the most successful!"

The reason why Zhou Zhigang's attitude towards Zhou Bingkun changed so much was because Li Suhua and Zhou Bingyi had been writing to him frequently over the past two years, which allowed him to learn a lot about his family's situation.

He was particularly disappointed by what Li Suhua said in her letter about her daughter, Zhou Rong.

He never expected that his most beloved daughter would do such a thing, and even her own mother began to complain.

On the contrary, his youngest son, whom he had previously looked down upon, was exceptionally filial and took excellent care of Li Suhua.

So this time when he returned home, he had convinced himself not to argue with his youngest son anymore.

Even for the sake of my husband and grandson, I can't continue this stalemate with my youngest son.

If he had truly changed his attitude towards Zhou Bingkun, he wouldn't have come to Zhou Bingkun's house today; he would have gone back to his hometown instead.

Hearing Zhou Zhigang's words, Zhou Bingkun's emotions were also stirred: "Dad..."

Zhou Zhigang grabbed Zhou Bingkun's shoulder, interrupting him: "Alright, Bingkun, let's not talk about the past! We're father and son, do you still hold a grudge against me?"

"Of course not!" Zhou Bingkun shook his head and said with a smile, "I just wanted to say, Dad, I'm very happy that you're willing to spend the New Year with me!"

As far as Zhou Bingkun was concerned, since Zhou Zhigang was willing to take the initiative to reconcile, there was no need for him to continue the stalemate.

No matter what, he is still my father, the person closest to me.

Zheng Juan and Li Suhua were delighted to see the father and son emerge from the room with smiles on their faces.

The thing they had been worried about was finally resolved properly.

Now that the conflict between the father and son has been resolved, the next step is the matter between Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Rong.

This is also the thing that gives Li Suhua the biggest headache.
