Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Hao Dongmei was actually quite happy with Zhou Zhigang's attitude, as it showed that her father-in-law valued her parents.

Zhou Bingyi, however, said to Zhou Bingkun with some shame, "Bingkun, I, as the elder brother, am incompetent. I have to use your house to entertain my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Brother, you're not right about that. We're brothers, family!" Zhou Bingkun waved his hand with a smile. "Brother, have your wife's parents said when they'll be coming?"

Zhou Bingyi really didn't know the answer to this, so he looked at Hao Dongmei.

Hao Dongmei explained, "My mom said my dad is going to visit two factories this afternoon, and he should be free after he finishes. The exact time depends on his schedule."

Zhou Zhigang waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, whatever time it is, let's just get ready and wait."

He wouldn't mind waiting a little longer as long as Hao's parents could come.

Zhou Bingkun sighed inwardly. Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi had both placed themselves in extremely low positions, which was not a normal kinship relationship.

He understood what the two were thinking, but felt they had gone a bit too far.

In fact, the Zhou family has never asked the Hao family for any help so far, and they have never thought of relying on them in the future. There is really no need for them to lower themselves so much.

After finishing his meal, Zhou Zhigang couldn't stay idle and started tidying up the house.

Seeing Zhou Zhigang making trouble for no reason and fidgeting, Zhou Bingkun said helplessly, "Dad, stop wiping! You're going to wipe the paint off the chair!"

Zhou Zhigang's face flushed red, and he angrily shouted at Zhou Bingkun, "If you ruin it, I'll pay you back!"

"Fine, fine, wipe it however you like." Zhou Bingkun shrugged helplessly.

The others in the room laughed when they heard the father and son's conversation.

It was soon past four in the afternoon, and Hao's parents still hadn't arrived.

This made Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei somewhat anxious, but Zhou Zhigang did not show any sign of being in a hurry.

However, Zhou Bingkun saw through Zhou Zhigang at a glance, but he remained outwardly calm.

But in reality, he was just as anxious as Zhou Bingyi.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Zhou Zhigang's composure crumbled instantly, and he hurriedly asked Zhou Bingyi and his wife to open the door.

Although Zhou Bingyi and his wife were a little surprised that they hadn't heard the car, they still obediently opened the gate.

Then they discovered that the people standing outside the door were not Hao's parents, but Qiao Chunyan.

After a brief moment of surprise, Zhou Bingyi and his wife welcomed Qiao Chunyan into the house with smiles on their faces.

Qiao Chunyan came here not only to repair her relationship with Zhou Bingkun, but also to invite him to their home for dinner on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Regarding this matter, Zhou Bingkun simply stated that he would go if he had time.

After all, Qiao Chunyan had come to visit his home specifically for this purpose, and she was also his mother's goddaughter, so he couldn't be too cold-hearted.

Qiao Chunyan didn't stay at home for long before getting up to say goodbye.

Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Bingyi saw Qiao Chunyan off. Watching her figure disappear from sight, Zhou Bingyi said to Zhou Bingkun, "Bingkun, this Qiao Chunyan is really different from before!"

After a slight pause, Zhou Bingyi looked at Zheng Juan in the living room and said with a smile, "If you hadn't fallen for Zheng Juan first, given the relationship between Mom and Aunt Qiao, you and Qiao Chunyan would probably have become a couple!"

Zhou Bingkun glanced at him and slowly said, "Brother, do you still have time to laugh at me now?"

Zhou Bingyi's face immediately darkened; he knew perfectly well what Zhou Bingkun meant by those words.

They really know how to bring up the very thing you don't want to talk about.

Looking at the road outside the courtyard, Zhou Bingyi said to Zhou Bingkun, "Let's wait a little longer. Dongmei's parents are the kind of people who keep their word. Since they agreed to come, they definitely won't go back on their word."

"Let's hope so!" Zhou Bingkun didn't discourage him. "Brother, take my advice and be prepared. If they don't come, you need to think about how to persuade Dad. He's more enthusiastic than you are about entertaining your parents-in-law."

Zhou Bingyi remained silent.

He understood his father's thoughts, of course, but Hao Dongmei's parents were not a matter for him, as a son-in-law, to decide.

Whether he comes or not is not up to him.

"They will come, they definitely will come," Zhou Bingyi said firmly.

These words were spoken both to Zhou Bingkun and to himself.

Zhou Bingkun patted Zhou Bingyi on the shoulder and walked into the living room.

As night fell, Zhou Bingyi remained standing outside the courtyard, waiting.

Hao Dongmei paced back and forth anxiously.

She has already said it all today. If her parents don't come, how can she face her in-laws, brother and sister-in-law?

Therefore, she was no less anxious than Zhou Bingyi.

Zheng Juan nudged Zhou Bingkun, gesturing for him to look at his father.

Zhou Zhigang looked unwell and seemed restless.

He would occasionally pick up his pipe and roll of paper, but after thinking about it, he would put them down again.

Seeing Zhou Bingkun looking at him, Zhou Zhigang asked in a hoarse voice, "Bingkun, what time is it?"

"It's 5:30," Zhou Bingkun said, glancing at his watch.

"It's 5:30 already. What time should your sister's train arrive?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Bingkun said, "It's supposed to be in the afternoon, but I don't know the exact time. However, it should be in time for the New Year's Eve dinner!"

"It's good that we can make it, it's good that we can make it."

Looking at Zhou Zhigang talking to himself, Zhou Bingkun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Just then, a car horn sounded outside the courtyard, causing the restless Zhou Zhigang to stand up instantly.

"Are Dongmei's parents here?" Zhou Zhigang asked Zhou Bingkun.

Without receiving a reply from Zhou Bingkun, Zhou Zhigang immediately walked towards the door.

Halfway there, seeing Zhou Bingkun still sitting on the sofa, she immediately urged him impatiently, "Bingkun, what are you still sitting there for? Come over here right now!"

Left with no other choice, Zhou Bingkun could only get up and follow Zhou Zhigang.

Zheng Juan followed him closely as they walked outside.

Before Zhou Zhigang and his wife Zhou Bingkun could even step out the door, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, who were waiting outside, had already greeted the arriving car.

Seeing Hao's parents get out of the car, Hao Dongmei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Bingyi, on the other hand, went over to talk to Hao's parents with a happy expression.

After welcoming Mr. and Mrs. Hao into the house, Zhou Bingyi couldn't wait to introduce them to each other.

Mr. and Mrs. Hao greeted Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua, who came out later, as a courtesy.

However, Zhou Zhigang was clearly a bit too enthusiastic when facing Hao's parents.

Mr. and Mrs. Hao were clearly overwhelmed by Zhou Zhigang's enthusiasm.

However, they did not show any sign of unwavering emotion on their faces.

Moreover, compared to Zhou Zhigang, Hao's parents were clearly more interested in Zhou Bingkun.

To be precise, they were interested in the exact nature of the relationship between Zhou Bingkun and Zhang Baili.

Seeing that Hao's parents and Zhou Bingkun were talking more than they were talking to their in-laws, Zhou Zhigang felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Zhigang could also see that Hao's parents were probably only willing to come and meet him because of Zhou Bingkun's master.

After realizing this, Zhou Zhigang's initial enthusiasm cooled considerably.

So it turns out that these high-ranking officials are just like ordinary people; they treat people differently based on their status!

Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Hao only stayed for less than ten minutes before leaving their gifts and saying goodbye.

Watching Hao's parents get into the car and leave, Zhou Zhigang returned to the house, sat on the sofa, and started smoking in silence.

Seeing Zhou Zhigang like this, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei didn't know what to say.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Hao came this time, they were quite perfunctory.

It didn't even seem like they came to meet Zhou Zhigang and his wife, but rather to meet Zhou Bingkun!

Li Suhua could tell that Zhou Zhigang was unhappy, so she asked Zhou Boyan and the other two children to go and play with Zhou Zhigang.

When Zhou Zhigang saw Zhou Boyan and the other two come to visit him, he immediately put on a happy face.

Seeing Zhou Zhigang smile, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, the meeting between both sets of parents finally came to a successful conclusion.

Zhou Bingyi walked over to Zhou Bingkun and whispered, "Bingkun, we owe you a lot again this time!"

If Zhou Zhigang could see it, Zhou Bingyi could naturally see it too.

The fact that his parents-in-law were willing to come and meet his parents this time was probably because of Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou Bingkun simply smiled and said nothing.

Anyway, given Zhou Zhigang's personality, after this meeting, he probably won't want to see Hao's parents again!

Chapter 307, Your surname is Zhou, and you are a son of the Zhou family! (Please subscribe!)

Shortly after Hao's parents left, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng finally arrived.

Perhaps because she had been reprimanded by Zhou Bingkun several times, Zhou Rong was noticeably more obedient this time and didn't cause any trouble.

Hao Dongmei had originally planned with her parents that after visiting the Zhou family this afternoon, they would go back together for New Year's Eve dinner.

However, her parents' attitude towards Zhou Zhigang at the Zhou family's house just now made her very angry, so she decided to have her New Year's Eve dinner here.

Therefore, this reunion dinner was the one with the most Zhou family members present and the best atmosphere.

Under such circumstances, Li Suhua was naturally the happiest person.

After all these years, we finally had a happy reunion dinner together. It wasn't easy!

After finishing their reunion dinner, Zhou Bingyi and his wife said goodbye to Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua and prepared to leave.

Zhou Zhigang frowned as he watched his eldest son prepare to spend the Chinese New Year at his in-laws' house.

However, considering that his eldest daughter-in-law was still nearby, Zhou Zhigang didn't say anything.

However, Zhou Bingyi noticed Zhou Zhigang's expression.

Before leaving, Zhou Bingyi pulled Zhou Bingkun aside and said, "Bingkun, Dad seemed a little unhappy about me going to my in-laws' house for the New Year. Coupled with what happened when we met with my in-laws before, Dad must be in a bad mood. Could you help me comfort him later?"

"Brother, you should comfort Dad. Just stay home with your wife for the New Year and have a good talk with him, right?" Zhou Bingkun looked at his older brother speechlessly.

Zhou Bingyi was taken aback, then said with some helplessness, "Bingkun, we're all spending the New Year here, what about Dongmei's parents?"

"What can we do? If they feel lonely, they can just spend the New Year with us," Zhou Bingkun said casually. "Didn't my mother-in-law spend the New Year with me back then?"

Zhou Bingyi said with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "Bingkun, Dongmei's parents are different..."

“What’s the difference? They’re just leaders now!” Zhou Bingkun said to Zhou Bingyi, “Brother, you don’t need to be so subservient to your sister-in-law and parents! I know their positions can provide you with advantages, but with your abilities, you can get there even without those advantages!”

Zhou Bingyi said with a long face, "Bingkun, you don't understand, and you don't realize how important a powerful backer is to one's career! Besides, they are Dongmei's parents, which means they are also my parents. I don't feel wronged at all."

"Brother, you don't feel wronged, but what about Mom and Dad?" Zhou Bingkun said coldly. "Don't forget, your surname is Zhou, you are the son of the Zhou family! How do you think Mom and Dad feel watching their son spend the New Year with other people's parents?"

Zhou Bingyi's face immediately turned red.

Zhou Bingkun's words were a direct slap in the face to him, but he didn't know how to refute them.

"Sigh..." Zhou Bingyi finally let out a deep sigh.

Without offering any words of comfort to Zhou Bingkun, Zhou Bingyi went out and left the courtyard with Hao Dongmei, who was waiting outside.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, apart from Zhou Boyan who was still a little reluctant to get out of bed, the entire Zhou family got up early.

Especially the energetic Zhou Xiangdong and Feng Yue, who got up early in the morning and started a snowball fight in the yard.

In order to get closer to her daughter, Zhou Rong also participated in the snowball fight.

She tried to please him, but Feng Yue didn't really pay her any attention.

Perhaps it's because she's grown up in the past two years, but Zhou Rong, despite being ignored by her daughter, hasn't given up and still wants to integrate.
