Once the time limit for the interdimensional portal (trial card) expires, they will naturally be teleported back to their original world.

After Xiao Shan and the other two left, Zheng Juan looked at the valuable gifts they had given her and said to Zhou Bingkun with some concern, "Bingkun, these things..."

"It's alright, Juan'er, just accept it!" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. "They are all my good friends!"

Hearing Zhou Bingkun say this, Zheng Juan still had some doubts about the identities of Zhou Bingkun's friends, but seeing that Zhou Bingkun didn't intend to say, she didn't ask any further questions and obediently put the things away.

Chapter 138, The Inertia of World Development, and Sun Ganchao's Dissatisfaction! (Happy New Year to all readers!)

That evening, Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan stayed in the new house.

Zhou Bingkun originally wanted Li Suhua to stay here as well, but Li Suhua insisted on going back to pack her things and coming back in a few days, so the young couple stayed here tonight.

Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan had known each other for years and liked each other for several years. They had held hands and kissed, but they never took the final step.

It wasn't that Zhou Bingkun didn't want to, but rather that he respected Zheng Juan and wanted to stay on their most important day.

Zhou Bingkun held Zheng Juan in his arms, feeling her body temperature: "Juan'er, from today onwards, you are my wife. I will definitely treat you well and make you the happiest woman!"

"Bingkun, I don't want to be the happiest person. I have no extravagant desires. As long as I can stay by your side for the rest of my life, I will feel happy." Zheng Juan hugged Zhou Bingkun tightly, her eyes full of affection.

The next day, while having breakfast, Zhou Bingkun looked at Zheng Juan and asked, "Juan'er, do you want to go to work?"

Zheng Juan looked at Zhou Bingkun and said with some self-consciousness, "Go to work? I don't know anything, what kind of work can I do! I probably wouldn't even be hired as a temporary worker."

"Once we get our marriage certificate, you can transfer your household registration here! Although you won't have the opportunity for job assignment anymore, I'll try to find someone who can help you get a job."

Zhou Bingkun was quite confident about this. Given his current importance to the publishing house, it might be difficult for him to get a permanent position, but getting him a temporary job wouldn't be a problem.

Zheng Juan was somewhat tempted, but after thinking about it, she shook her head: "Forget it, I don't want to trouble you. I'll just go with my mom to set up the stall! It's too tiring for her to set up the stall without me, and it's also inconvenient for her to take care of Guangming alone."

"Why don't we bring Auntie and Guangming to live here? We have three rooms here, enough for Auntie and my mother," Zhou Bingkun said to Zheng Juan.

Zheng Juan shook her head again: "I've already discussed it with my mom, but she doesn't want to come and live with us. No matter what I say, it's no use."

Zhou Bingkun sighed; he could understand Aunt Zheng's thoughts.

I also know that people of their generation don't want to trouble their children.

Especially since her daughter married so well, she was terrified that she might ruin her daughter's family because of her own actions.

So no matter how difficult it is, she is unwilling to live together.

You can't force a relationship to be sweet. Even if he and Zheng Juan forcibly dragged the old lady over, I bet Aunt Zheng would feel uncomfortable.

That might make things even more complicated.

So Zhou Bingkun continued, "What about Guangming? You can bring Guangming over so you can take care of him."

“Guangming doesn’t want to come either. He says he wants to stay home and take care of his mother. But he’s blind, how can he take care of his mother?” Zheng Juan sighed.

Zheng Juan felt a little sad. Before she met Zhou Bingkun, her biggest wish was to give her mother and younger brother a better life.

Now, with Zhou Bingkun by her side, she is living a good life that she never dared to dream of before.

Their family's situation improved significantly because of Zhou Bingkun.

Her mother and younger brother didn't want to be a burden to her, so they preferred to suffer themselves rather than live with her.

“Well, they have their own reasons for not wanting to come and live here. We can’t force them, but we can take better care of them in the future.” Zhou Bingkun thought for a moment and then said, “I think we shouldn’t let the old lady go out to set up her stall anymore. I know a few factory owners who make handicrafts. I’ll ask them to find some handicrafts for the old lady and Guangming to do.”

"Won't this be too much trouble?" Zheng Juan asked with some concern.

Zhou Bingkun laughed and said, "Why are you saying that? We're husband and wife, and your family is my family too. If Auntie and Guangming can do some handicrafts, and we can give them some extra help, they'll have no problem making a normal life."

"Thank you, Bingkun, you're so kind to me." Zheng Juan looked at Zhou Bingkun with gratitude.

Zhou Bingkun looked at Zheng Juan and said softly, "You're my wife. If I'm not good to you, who will I be good to? Okay, let's eat first!"

A week later, persuaded by Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan, Li Suhua also came here to live with Zhou Bingkun and the others.

Xiao Shan and the others had already been teleported back to their respective worlds because the time limit of the interdimensional portal (experience card) had expired.

At this time, Zhou Bingkun's holiday also ended, and he began to return to work as usual.

Before leaving for work in the morning, Zhou Bingkun said to Zheng Juan, "Juan'er, I won't be home for dinner tonight! Chunyan said she's inviting Guoqing and me to dinner, but I don't know what it's about. Do you want to come with me tonight?"

"I won't go to your gathering. I'll stay home with Mom," Zheng Juan said, shaking her head.

“Okay, I’ll do as you say.” Zhou Bingkun didn’t insist.

He knew that Zheng Juan didn't really like these kinds of gatherings, mainly because she wasn't very familiar with Qiao Chunyan and the others.

In the afternoon, after getting off work, Zhou Bingkun rode his bicycle to the restaurant that Qiao Chunyan had mentioned.

As soon as Zhou Bingkun arrived at the restaurant, he saw Sun Ganchao standing at the door.

Upon seeing Zhou Bingkun, Sun Ganchao waved and said, "Kun'er, over here."

“You guys get off work pretty early!” Zhou Bingkun said to Sun Ganchao as he got off his bicycle.

Sun Ganchao said with a smile, "The factory hasn't been very busy lately. Everyone else has come, except for you."

"Others?" Zhou Bingkun sensed something different.

Sun Ganchao explained, "Yes, besides Guoqing and me, Chunyan also invited other people, three men in total. She even said one of them was her boyfriend."

Hearing Sun Ganchao's displeased tone, Zhou Bingkun asked with slight surprise, "Chunyan is dating someone? Who is it? Do I know him?"

"I know him. He's the man who came to your house when you got married. His name is Cao Debao. He works at a soy sauce factory."

“Cao Debao?!” Zhou Bingkun looked at Sun Ganchao with some surprise.

Zhou Bingkun never expected that Qiao Chunyan would still end up with Cao Debao.

Moreover, it seems that he met Qiao Chunyan because Cao Debao attended his wedding.

"The inertia of this world's development is too great, isn't it?" Zhou Bingkun was secretly alarmed, but at the same time glad that he had taken care of Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin in advance.

Seeing Zhou Bingkun's somewhat surprised expression, Sun Ganchao said angrily, "Yes, it's him! That kid looks shifty and doesn't seem like a good person. How could Chunyan have fallen for him?"

He pursued Qiao Chunyan for a long time, but Qiao Chunyan never gave him a second glance.

He was naturally very unhappy that Qiao Chunyan was with a man he had only known for a few days.

Zhou Bingkun patted Sun Ganchao on the shoulder and comforted him, "Forget it, Ganchao, Qiao Chunyan is not someone you can control. This is fine."

He genuinely didn't think highly of Sun Ganchao and Qiao Chunyan.

Qiao Chunyan is forthright and shrewd, while Sun Ganchao is honest and stubborn, and could not possibly be as patient as Cao Debao.

They would definitely not have a good time together!

Chapter 139, Zhou Bingkun, Banned from Speaking in Xiaoshan! (Happy New Year to all readers!)

Hearing Zhou Bingkun's words of comfort, Sun Ganchao sighed and said nothing.

Upon entering the restaurant, Zhou Bingkun discovered that in addition to Cao Debao, Lü Chuan and Tang Xiangyang had also arrived.

With the addition of Xiao Guoqing, the "six gentlemen" in the future video have finally come together.

"Brother, you're finally here! We've been waiting for you!" Qiao Chunyan was delighted to see Zhou Bingkun enter and pulled him to sit down next to her. "Brother, you know everyone here, so I don't need to introduce you. Speaking of which, I owe my acquaintance with Debao to you!"

Cao Debao echoed Zhou Bingkun, saying, "Yes, Zhou Bingkun, if I hadn't attended your wedding, I wouldn't have been able to find such a good partner as Chunyan."

These words caused a stir among the crowd, but Cao Debao and Qiao Chunyan didn't feel ashamed at all.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Did Debao say something wrong? Am I not good enough?" Qiao Chunyan said, sticking her neck out.

Zhou Bingkun's gaze fell on the short-haired girl next to Xiao Guoqing. Xiao Guoqing introduced her, "Kun'er, this is my girlfriend, Wu Qian. Wu Qian, this is Zhou Bingkun, whom I told you about. He's my childhood friend, an editor at a publishing house, and now he's a cultured man."

Zhou Bingkun greeted Wu Qian politely: "Hello!"

Wu Qian replied politely.

Zhou Bingkun looked at Qiao Chunyan and asked, "Chunyan, did you call us here today just to announce your affair with Debao?"

Qiao Chunyan chuckled and said, "Yes!"

"It's not just that, it's also so that we can all get together! We're all around the same age, we know each other well, and having more friends means more happiness, don't you agree?" Cao Debao said, following Qiao Chunyan's words.

Hearing Cao Debao say this, Lü Chuan smiled and said, "It's rare for Debao to say something nice!"

"Get lost! You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth! Chuan'er, don't think you're more cultured than me just because you've read a few more books. Among us, Zhou Bingkun is the most cultured. Look at his job, he's a leader at a publishing house."

Zhou Bingkun waved his hand: "No, what kind of leader am I? I just got lucky to work at the publishing house. There is no such thing as a high or low job. I think your soy sauce factory is pretty good, and you have such a good leader as Qu Shuji."

“It’s not as good as you say!” Cao Debao complained. “We all work in the slag removal workshop, the most tiring part of the soy sauce factory, and we’re exhausted every day. Qu Shuji is good, and he has created good conditions for us, but compared to your work, it’s really far inferior.”

Zhou Bingkun did not respond to Cao Debao's complaints.

Because Qiao Chunyan was taken away by Cao Debao, Sun Ganchao disliked him very much.

Hearing Cao Debao's complaints, he retorted sarcastically, "You still want to compare yourself to Kun'er? Look at Kun'er's wedding, even the president of the publishing house had to come and offer his blessings, along with Qu Shuji and his wife, and his friends from out of town. Do you think you'll have as much prestige as Kun'er when you get married?"

Cao Debao was speechless.

But Qiao Chunyan was unwilling to see her boyfriend being ridiculed: "Ganchao, how can you talk like that! My brother is capable, but our Debao is no less so! He is also a full-time employee at the soy sauce factory, and he will have the opportunity to be promoted in the future."

"It's like you're saying everyone isn't a permanent employee with a government job." Seeing Qiao Chunyan speak up for Cao Debao, Sun Ganchao felt even more annoyed.

Xiao Guoqing knew that Sun Ganchao was unhappy, so he advised, "Alright, Ganchao, we're all friends, don't talk like that."

“Friends?” Sun Ganchao sneered twice, but didn’t say anything more offensive.

Seeing the awkward situation, Cao Debao quickly tried to smooth things over: "Chunyan, hurry up and serve the dishes! And get a few bottles of wine, brothers, we can all have a drink, right?"

Tang Xiangyang waved his hand and said, "I can't, I can only drink a little."

The same goes for Lü Chuan.

Suddenly, Sun Ganchao shouted, "Of course we have to drink! We won't leave until we're drunk tonight!"

"Yes, let's drink until we drop!" Xiao Guoqing shouted with great enthusiasm as his partner stood right next to him.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became lively.

Sun Ganchao and Cao Debao drank several cups together, neither of them giving an inch.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Xiao Guoqing pulled Zhou Bingkun aside and said, "Kun'er, to be honest, I really didn't expect that among us, you are the youngest, yet you are the first to get married. The rest of us are far behind you."

"Why bring this up! Getting married sooner or later is the same; the key is whether you'll be happy after marriage," Zhou Bingkun said to Xiao Guoqing with a smile.

Sun Ganchao turned around and looked at Zhou Bingkun, saying, "Kun'er, your Zheng Juan has an absolutely good temper! Unlike some people, who have terrible tempers, loud voices, and arrogant attitudes."

"Hey, Ganchao, I feel like there's something behind your words. Explain yourself, who are you talking about?" Qiao Chunyan pushed Sun Ganchao unhappily and questioned him.

Sun Ganchao retorted, sticking his neck out: "I wasn't talking about you, why are you taking it personally? I was praising Kun'er's wife!"

The group ate, drank, chatted, and laughed until after nine o'clock in the evening before finally breaking up.

Before parting, Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao said that everyone should come and support them when they get married.

Sun Ganchao was really drunk today; he was wobbling and falling several times while riding his bike.

Zhou Bingkun followed him all the way home before turning back to go home himself.

As autumn faded and winter arrived, Liaoning Province was soon plunged into a cold winter after enjoying the coolness of autumn for only a short time.

It's the weekend, and Zhou Bingkun is taking a walk with Zheng Juan.

There was already snow on the ground, and he carefully supported Zheng Juan, afraid that she might slip.

More than half a year has passed, and Zhou Bingkun's life has undergone great changes.

First of all, his wife Zheng Juan is pregnant, and she is already seven months pregnant.

Upon learning that Zheng Juan was pregnant, Zhou Bingkun excitedly flooded the chat group with the news.

After receiving blessings from his fellow group members, Zhou Bingkun was banned from speaking by Xiaoshan for a week.

It was Zhou Bingkun's lesson from being banned that made everyone in the group realize the consequences of spamming the group chat.

After Zheng Juan became pregnant, Zhou Bingkun, at Li Suhua's request, wrote a letter to his father, Zhou Zhigang, who was far away in the mountain city, to announce the good news. In the letter, he explained that he and Zheng Juan had already married.

Zhou Bingkun didn't want to guess what Zhou Zhigang's expression would be after seeing the letter.

After writing the letter, he confessed to Li Suhua what he had been hiding.

He revealed that Zhou Zhigang's initial letter did not express approval of him and Zheng Juan, but rather opposition.

He only said that Zhou Zhigang agreed to his marriage with Zheng Juan in order to be with her.

Upon learning this, Li Suhua flew into a rage and unleashed a torrent of abuse on Zhou Bingkun.
