"But your dad will definitely favor your older brother the most, so you'll have to figure out what to do yourself. Of course, your dad still has several years before he retires, so you can take your time to think about it."

After listening to Xiao Shan's analysis, Liu Guangtian seemed to be deep in thought.

These were things he had never considered before.

He was thinking that after getting married, he would rent a place and leave this home.

Now that Xiao Shan has analyzed it this way, I really can't be so reckless.

While Xiao Shan and Liu Guangtian were chatting, Yi Zhonghai ate the braised food he had bought, but found it tasteless.

The deaf old lady next to her was eating with great appetite.

As he gets older, Yi Zhonghai feels increasingly powerless.

The apprentice Jia Dongxu, whom he had painstakingly trained, died, and all his calculations went down the drain.

He Yuzhu, the backup lover, now has a son and a daughter, and a shrewd wife, making him increasingly difficult to manipulate.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai looking worried, an older woman said with some pity, "Old Yi, why don't we adopt one? It's not good to keep worrying like this."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "We're both at this age, and your health isn't good. I also have to work at the steel mill. How can we have the energy to take care of the child?"

"Xiao Yi, you used to scheme against Zhu Zi too much!" The deaf old lady put down her chopsticks and looked at Yi Zhonghai, saying, "Zhu Zi doesn't realize how shrewd his wife is!"

“In our compound, only Zhu Zi is an honest man. If you don’t want to adopt a child, you’ll have to make a move on Zhu Zi! But scheming alone won’t work; you also have to be sincere. His wife is a smart woman and not easily fooled.”

Hearing the deaf old lady's words, Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Let's see!"

Just then, Qin Huairu's voice rang out from the doorway: "Uncle, are you home?"

Yi Zhonghai put down his chopsticks and went outside, where he saw Qin Huairu standing at the door.

Yi Zhonghai forced a smile: "It's Huairu! Have you eaten? If not, have something to eat here."

Qin Huairu shook her head: "No, sir, I just ate!"

Upon entering the house, Qin Huairu noticed that the deaf old lady was also there: "The old lady is here too!"

Handing the clothes to Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu smiled and said, "It's getting chilly, so I made a coat for this old man. Try it on and see if it fits!"

Yi Zhonghai took the clothes, grinning from ear to ear.

The deaf old lady also sat in the chair, watching with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai held up the clothes and said, "They fit perfectly! Huairu, thank you for your hard work. I have ten jin of cornmeal here, take it back."

Yi Zhonghai put down his clothes and casually took a bag of grain from the house and handed it to Qin Huairu.

"Don't let the children go hungry. You've worked hard too, so don't overwork yourself. All three children are relying on you."

Qin Huairu took the grain and nodded, "I understand, Uncle. I'll head back now."

After watching Qin Huairu leave, an older woman sighed and said, "What a good person she is. It's such a pity that Huairu became a widow at such a young age! It's just that she was fortunate to have such a filial and capable daughter-in-law. Otherwise, who knows what the Jia family would be like now!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at the deaf old lady and said, "Grandma, don't you think Huairu is a good candidate to take care of you in your old age? It's a pity that she's a widow all alone, supporting three children and a mother-in-law. The pressure is too great!"

The deaf old woman glanced at Yi Zhonghai: "You want to find her a crony? There aren't many people like that these days! And Jia Zhangshi might not even be willing."

"Besides, if she's too bad, Qin Huairu might not even look at her; if she's too good, people won't even look at a widow with three children and a mother-in-law."

"That's true." Yi Zhonghai nodded somewhat helplessly.

However, Yi Zhonghai always felt that He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu were a good match.

Unfortunately, He Yuzhu now has a wife and children.

Yi Zhonghai tried several times to get the two of them to get along, but he failed each time.

Li Caijuan is too vigilant!

The next day at noon, Xiao Shan was on his way to the cafeteria when a figure blocked his path.

Xiao Shan recognized her at a glance; the woman in front of him was Yu Haitang.

It seems that Yan Bugui wasn't just saying he wanted to introduce Yu Haitang to him.

Xiao Shan looked puzzled: "Hello, comrade, is there something you need?"

"Hello, I'm Yu Haitang, the broadcaster from our factory. You must be Xiao Shan!" Yu Haitang said, looking at Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan nodded: "Yes, I am Xiao Shan! Comrade, is there a problem?"

"There's no problem, I just want to be friends with you!" Yu Haitang said with a smile.

Xiao Shan's lips curled up slightly: "Making friends is easy, but I need to go have lunch now! I'll go first, let's talk again another day when we have time!"

Before Haitang could even react, Xiao Shan had already vanished in a flash.

Watching Xiao Shan's retreating figure, Yu Haitang stomped her foot and stormed off in a huff.

While eating in the cafeteria, Xiao Shan told the people in the chat group about his frustration at being pressured to get married.

After hearing Xiao Shan's story, everyone in the chat group laughed without any sense of decency.

Zhang Chulan: "Hey group leader, you really are at the age where you should get married. Finding someone would be a good idea!"

Ying Zheng: "That's right, that's right. It's only natural for men to marry when they come of age and for women to marry when they come of age!"

Yue Buqun: "With the group leader's qualifications, finding a suitable partner is a piece of cake!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Speechless gif. I came here to complain about being pressured to get married, not to ask you to pressure me to get married!"

Liu Maoxing: "Group owner, don't be angry. Do you want something to eat? I learned a new dish today!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "This is a good idea!"

Many people in the group also expressed their desire to try Liu Maoxing's new dishes.

Liu Maoxing readily agreed without hesitation.

At this time, Shao'an had been expelled from Juxialou by Master Abei, and Liu Maoxing had almost mastered Master Abei's skills and was preparing to go to Yangquan Restaurant in Guangdong to learn the craft.

Ying Zheng: "I just received news that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have rebelled!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "??? Emperor Qin, didn't you already promote high-yield potatoes nationwide and adjust corvée labor and taxes? How come there are still people rebelling?"

Ying Zheng: "Alas, the long-term oppression and forced labor cannot be eliminated by me in a short time. In addition, the remnants of the six states were stirring up trouble behind the scenes, which is why this rebellion has occurred!"

Ying Zheng did send people to look for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, but they could never find their whereabouts.

By the time they learned of their whereabouts, the two had already risen up in rebellion.

Yue Buqun: "We must deal with this matter quickly, otherwise the storm of rebellion may sweep across the entire Qin Kingdom!"

Ying Zheng: "I know. I have already sent someone to inform Meng Tian to lead troops to quell the rebellion! I expect good news will come soon!"

The human world.

As Zhou Bingkun, who was building a snowman, watched Xiao Shan in the chat group talking about being pressured to get married, his lips curled up into a wide smile.

Luckily, I married Zheng Juan a long time ago, otherwise I'd probably be being pressured to get married by now!

It was just before the Spring Festival in 1976, and heavy snow covered the entire Liaoning Province.

Standing next to Zhou Bingkun, Zheng Juan waved vigorously at Zhou Boyan, who was standing at the door: "Yanyan, come here to Mommy!"

Zhou Boyan is almost two years old now. Wearing a cotton-padded jacket, he looks like a little penguin, chubby and adorable.

Hearing his mother's call, Zhou Boyan cautiously stepped out of the doorway.

He walked slowly, step by step, through the snow towards Zheng Juan.

Just as he was about to reach Zheng Juan, Zhou Boyan suddenly pounced on her.

Zheng Juan pulled him into a tight embrace: "You silly child, be careful! Come and see the snowman Daddy made, isn't it pretty?"

By this time, Zheng Juan had recovered from childbirth, her figure had become slimmer, she had matured a lot, and she looked more attractive.

"Beautiful! Beautiful!" Zhou Boyan clapped his hands and exclaimed happily.

Although Zhou Boyan is not even two years old, under Zhou Bingkun's guidance, he is already able to speak in short sentences and understand a lot of words.

Zhou Bingkun looked at his wife and children, feeling very content.

A lot has happened in the past year or so, both good and bad.

Previously, Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao came to borrow the house, and Zhou Zhigang eventually agreed.

However, Zhou Zhigang also said in the telegram that they could stay for a maximum of six months.

If you want to stay, then stay; if not, then forget it.

Chapter 159, Li Suhua is overjoyed! (Please subscribe!)

Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao were naturally willing to stay.

However, after living there for half a year, the two of them dragged their feet and didn't move out for another month.

They only moved out because Li Suhua said she wanted to go back and stay for a few days.

Later, Li Suhua did indeed go back and stay there for two months.

Before the Chinese New Year in 1974, Li Suhua returned to Zhou Bingkun's place to help Zheng Juan take care of the children.

During the Spring Festival of 1975, both Qiao Chunyan and Xiao Guoqing's families came to the house at the same time, wanting to borrow it temporarily.

Because both families have two older sisters, who also have to come back for the Chinese New Year.

This time, Zhou Bingkun did not budge. He directly called both families together and refused them face to face.

As a result, the scene at the time became rather unpleasant.

Xiao Guoqing was alright, but Wu Qian, Qiao Chunyan, and Cao Debao all looked very unhappy.

Wu Qian and Xiao Guoqing were watching, but Qiao Chunyan's words were a bit harsh, and she even wanted to ask Li Suhua to plead for her.

After being scolded by Zhou Bingkun, Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao stormed out.

After that incident, Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao did not visit Zhou Bingkun again throughout 1975, nor did they contact him.

Zhou Bingkun not only didn't care about this, but actually felt that it was peaceful.

As for Xiao Guoqing, they weren't estranged from each other.

Wu Qian was rather unhappy every time she saw him, but Zhou Bingkun was too lazy to pay attention to her.

In addition, Zheng Juan's mother, Aunt Zheng, passed away peacefully last summer.

However, Aunt Zheng passed away relatively peacefully.

My daughter married into a good family, and her son-in-law promised her that he would take good care of her and her son in the future.

Although Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming are not her biological children, she considers them even closer than her own.

So seeing that they had someone to rely on, she left without any regrets.

Zhou Bingkun organized Zheng Da Niang's funeral, during which Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming cried their hearts out.

For a long time after Aunt Zheng left, Zheng Juan was listless.

Fortunately, Zhou Bingkun comforted her, and with her son Zhou Boyan by her side, Zheng Juan was able to recover from her grief.

After Aunt Zheng left, Zheng Juan was worried about Zheng Guangming.

Zhou Bingkun went along with her wishes and brought Zheng Guangming to his place.

They have been living together for six months now.

Although Zheng Guangming is blind, he is a very sensible child and gets along well with Li Suhua.

Most of the time, he was the one who took Zhou Boyan out to play.

Just last year, Zhou Bingkun's good friend Sun Ganchao also got married.

The man she married was introduced by Qiao Chunyan. He also worked at the public bathhouse and was Qiao Chunyan's apprentice. His name was Yu Hong.

Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian, on the other hand, are not doing so well.

This applies not only to daily life but also to the issue of having children.

They don't know why, but they haven't gotten pregnant yet, and people have been gossiping about them countless times.
