Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Zhou Bingyi asked Zhou Bingkun, "Bingkun, did Dad write to you saying when he's coming back?"

"Dad said we'll be at the train station on the 28th!"

Zhou Bingyi nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll go pick him up together!"

The next day, after having breakfast, Zhou Bingkun prepared to visit Mr. and Mrs. Ma Shouchang.

Unexpectedly, they arrived at Zhou Bingkun's house first.

"Uncle Ma, Aunt Qu, what brings you here?" Zhou Bingkun asked with a smile as he welcomed them into the house. "I was just saying I was planning to visit you two!"

Ma Shouchang laughed and said, "You're quite something now, kid. You came back without even telling us. If we hadn't run into your older brother this morning while we were taking a walk, we wouldn't have known you were back!"

At this moment, Zhou Boyan came downstairs and said to Ma Shouchang and his wife, "Grandpa Ma, Grandma Qu, I miss you so much!"

Qu Xiuzhen held Zhou Boyan's hands affectionately, looking at him with increasing delight: "Good child, Grandma missed you too! Your uncle said that you won't be leaving this time you're back?"

“Yes, Dad said we’ll stay in Jichun and go back to Beijing to take the college entrance exam when I’m in my senior year of high school.” Zhou Boyan nodded.

"Okay, okay!" Qu Xiuzhen smiled very happily.

In recent years, Zhou Bingkun and his family have not been in Jichun, and the elderly couple have no one to talk to.

In addition, since he had already retired, even fewer people visited him, and he lived a lonely and desolate life.

Now that Zhou Bingkun's family has returned, and they live just across the street, they can come and go as they please, which makes them especially happy.

Ma Shouchang looked at Zhou Bingkun and asked, "Bingkun, what were you thinking? Why did you suddenly decide to come back from Beijing?"

"Being a doctor is too tiring; there's no time to rest, so I resigned!" Zhou Bingkun didn't hide anything from Ma Shouchang and his wife. "Moreover, my company in Hong Kong is currently in the development stage, and I need to personally take the helm!"

"That's great! They've even opened companies in Hong Kong now!" Qu Xiuzhen said with a smile.

Mr. and Mrs. Ma arrived in the morning, but stayed at the Zhou family's house until evening before happily leaving.

Ma Shouchang had a few drinks and, still slightly tipsy, said he would come often in the future.

Time flies, and it's already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

"Kun'er, when are you going to pick up your dad?" Li Suhua asked Zhou Bingkun while busy preparing for the New Year.

Since he was returning from retirement, Li Suhua estimated that Zhou Zhigang would bring back quite a few things.

At this moment, Zhou Bingyi, who had arrived at Zhou Bingkun's place that morning, said with a smile, "Mom, Bingkun and I have already agreed that we will go to the station to pick up Dad after lunch. You can just wait at home without worry!"

Zhou Rong, standing to the side, looked at Li Suhua with a hint of jealousy and said, "Mom, you weren't this happy when we came back. Now that Dad is coming back, you're definitely different."

Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng returned by train yesterday.

Li Suhua rolled her eyes at her daughter: "When we were in Beijing, I could see you whenever I wanted. But it's different with your dad. I haven't seen him for almost five years!"

Zhou Zhigang hasn't been home for five years since they parted ways in 1983.

He originally had a chance to come back, but since he was about to retire anyway, he gave up his vacation to someone else.

"Zhou Rong, hurry up and get busy!" Zhou Bingyi said to Zhou Rong with a smile, "Didn't you say you wanted to give Dad a surprise tonight? Why don't you go and think about what delicious food you're going to make for dinner!"

Yesterday, after Zhou Rong came back, she insisted on cooking a delicious meal for Zhou Zhigang.

So tonight's dinner is in her hands.

Zhou Rong patted her chest and assured him, "Big brother, don't worry! Tonight's dinner is on me and Hua Cheng. I promise you won't be disappointed."

Feng Huacheng stood aside, smiling wryly as he echoed his sentiment.

He had absolutely no say in the Zhou family.

Although they are said to cook together, he definitely does most of the cooking.

Since Zhou Rong started school and working, he has been the one who cooks most of the meals at home.

Unfortunately, Zhou Rong is now a university teacher, while he is frustrated and unsuccessful in the Beijing Writers Association, earning less than half the money of Zhou Rong.

A man who has no money or power and is old will naturally find it difficult to hold his head high in front of a woman.

After lunch, Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Bingyi took a car to the train station.

Around 4 p.m., Zhou Zhigang finally got off the train.

As soon as he exited the station, Zhou Zhigang met Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Bingyi, who were there to pick him up.

Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Bingyi went up to help Zhou Zhigang with his luggage, and then the three of them walked together to the parking area.

Upon arriving at where Zhou Bingkun's car was parked, Zhou Bingkun said to Zhou Zhigang, "Dad, get in the car!"

Zhou Zhigang stared blankly at the car in front of him, "Bingyi, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but how could you use a government car to pick me up from the train station? This is just too much..."

Zhou Bingyi interrupted awkwardly, "Dad, I didn't arrange this car, Bingkun did. It's his own car, not an official vehicle."

In order to help Xiao Guoqing open a clothing store, Zhou Bingkun would send a batch of goods to Jichun every three months.

Later, to save trouble, they opened a logistics company directly in Jichun.

They send Hong Kong's technology and clothing products to Jichun, and send Jichun's mountain delicacies to Hong Kong.

Therefore, when Zhou Bingkun came to pick up Zhou Zhigang this time, he directly called two cars from the logistics company.

"Bingkun's car?" Zhou Zhigang looked incredulous. "How could Bingkun have cars? And two of them at that!"

Zhou Bingyi looked equally surprised: "Dad, you don't know about Bingkun's matter?"

"What's wrong with Bingkun? Is it about resigning and returning to Jichun?"

Seeing that Zhou Zhigang was truly unaware of the situation, Zhou Bingyi decided to leave it to Zhou Bingkun to say: "Dad, get in the car first! Bingkun will tell you himself when we get home!"

In the car.

Zhou Zhigang couldn't wait to ask what was going on with the car.

Zhou Bingkun then told Zhou Zhigang about his company in Hong Kong and the logistics company he had opened in Jichun City.

After hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, Zhou Zhigang was stunned for a long time before asking in a hoarse voice, "Bingkun, is what you just said true?"

"It really is, more real than real gold!" Zhou Bingkun said with a hint of helplessness. "If you don't believe me, ask my older brother!"

Zhou Zhigang turned his gaze to Zhou Bingyi, who was standing to the side.

Seeing Zhou Zhigang's gaze fall upon him, Zhou Bingyi said with a wry smile, "Dad, it's true, Bingkun is indeed a big boss now! You'll understand when we get to the new house."

It was only when Zhou Bingkun called for two vehicles that Zhou Bingyi learned that Jichun, a logistics company with considerable strength, was actually run by his younger brother.

"A new home?" Zhou Zhigang was taken aback again.

Zhou Bingyi nodded: "Yes, Bingkun just bought a house, a small villa. You'll be living there from now on!"

“Bingkun?” Zhou Zhigang looked at his youngest son again.

Zhou Bingkun smiled and said, "Dad, we'll be home soon. You can take your time reading."

Zhou Zhigang frowned but did not refute. He then turned to Zhou Bingyi and asked him a question.

……

The car stopped in the yard of the villa.

Zhou Zhigang got out of the car and looked at the small villa in front of him, still incredulous: "Bingkun, is this the house you just bought?"

Although he was mentally prepared, knowing that his youngest son was now wealthy and would definitely buy a better house if he were to buy another one.

But now, seeing the villa in front of him, he was still deeply shocked.

Just then, Li Suhua heard the sound of a car outside and quickly came out of the house.

When Li Suhua saw Zhou Zhigang standing in the yard in a daze, she exclaimed with joy, "Honey, you're back!"

Upon hearing his wife's voice, Zhou Zhigang forgot all about the house and cried out, "Honey!"

The two cautiously approached each other and embraced, tears streaming down their faces.

"Suhua, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back! I'll take care of you from now on, and we'll never be apart again!"

Since 1969, nearly twenty years have passed, and the total time they have spent together has not exceeded one month.

Now that Zhou Zhigang has finally retired, they can be together forever. This feeling is truly indescribable.

"Dad, Mom, let's go inside!" Zhou Bingyi saw that his parents were reluctant to part, and passersby were looking at them curiously, so he stepped forward and whispered to them.

Zhou Zhigang released his grip, his gaze sweeping over his children and grandchildren, and laughed heartily, "Haha, come on, honey, let's go home!"

"Honey, isn't this house nice?" Li Suhua led Zhou Zhigang around the building.

Zhou Zhigang stood with his hands behind his back, looking around room by room with a complicated expression.

There were feelings of joy, relief, and surprise, but also feelings of regret, shame, and embarrassment.

He worked hard all his life, and in the end all he got were two houses with the character "光" (guang).

But Zhou Bingkun has only been around for a few years, yet he already owns so many houses and so many assets.

In his entire life, he probably didn't earn as much as his youngest son earns in a year now.

While Zhou Zhigang was happy for his youngest son's success, he also felt somewhat melancholy.

After looking around, Zhou Zhigang didn't know how to evaluate it, so he could only nod and say, "Good, very good!"

Seeing that Zhou Zhigang was very satisfied, Li Suhua also smiled happily.

She is an easily satisfied person; as long as her husband and son are happy, she is happy.

Li Suhua looked at Zhou Zhigang and said, "Honey, let's go downstairs for dinner! Today, to welcome you, Xiao Rong and her husband cooked a big meal for you."

"Really?" Zhou Zhigang looked at Li Suhua with some surprise. "It's been so many years, and I've never had a big meal cooked by Xiao Rong and the others. I'm going to have to try it later."

"Then you must try it!" Li Suhua said with a smile. "She used up so many ingredients, if it's not cooked well, you'll have to give her a good talking to!"

"Haha, what kind of mother are you!"

Soon, the food prepared by Zhou Rong and her husband was served.

This time, Zhou Rong and her husband prepared more than a dozen dishes, plus staple foods such as steamed buns and mantou, filling a large table.

"Dad, this is the first time our family has been reunited since 1983. Would you like to say a few words?" Zhou Rong began to encourage Zhou Zhigang to say a few words.

Zhou Zhigang glanced around at the smiles on his children's and grandchildren's faces, feeling particularly content: "Alright, then I'll just say a few words!"

Everyone applauded in welcome, and the three children put on an extra enthusiastic show.

Zhou Zhigang stood up and said with a smile, "It's been 19 years since our family went our separate ways in 1969! In these 19 years, our family has only reunited a few times!"

"But things are better now. I've retired, and Bingkun's family has returned to Jichun. Bingyi and Dongmei are also in Jichun. Only Xiaorong and Huacheng are still in Beijing."

Zhou Rong sighed pitifully, "Yes, you've all left, and now it's just the two of us left in Beijing! Dad, why don't you and Mom come with me to Beijing for a visit? You're retired now, so you can take your time and have some fun!"

Zhou Zhigang waved his hands repeatedly: "Your dad just retired, and I haven't even had a chance to rest yet! No, no!"

Although he also longs for Beijing, he now prefers to stay with his wife and children and enjoy family life.

"Alright, then we're really all alone in Beijing now." Zhou Rong feigned a disappointed look.

In fact, she had already guessed that her father would not go to Beijing with her.

"Alright, Zhou Rong, stop interrupting Dad. Let Dad continue." Zhou Bingyi stopped Zhou Rong's banter.

Zhou Rong glared at Zhou Bingyi: "Big brother, you're such a busybody."

Zhou Zhigang continued, "Actually, I don't have much to say. The three of you have all grown up and started your own families, and each one of you is more successful than the last! As for your father, I'm just an old worker, and I'm no longer qualified to lecture you."

At this point, Zhou Zhigang's expression became complicated.

All three of his children are more successful than him, and although he is the father, he really doesn't know how to discipline them anymore.

Seeing the dejected look on Zhou Zhigang's face, Zhou Bingkun smiled and said, "Dad, you're wrong. No matter how capable we are, we'll always be your children. You can say whatever you want!"

“Yes, Bingkun is right. Dad, just say what you want to say.”

"Yes, Dad, go ahead and tell me. I love listening to you talk."

Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong both echoed this.
