The setting sun shines into the house, and the sunlight is dyed golden by the dusk. Even the clouds become colorful. The outline of the mountains can be vaguely seen in the distance. Against the golden sunset, it forms a very beautiful natural picture.

Wang Zhong was lying on the deck chair on the terrace, facing the direction of the setting sun, with the golden sunlight still shining on his body. Next to him was a small eucalyptus, a dark tea tray on the eucalyptus, and a small ceramic teapot with a ruddy color on the tea tray.

It is deep and slightly larger than a fist. There is a book next to the tea tray. The pages are not neat and the bookmark is sandwiched one-third of the way.

Wang Zhong stretched out his hand and took the teapot in his hand. His middle finger and index finger passed through the handle of the pot, and he held the bottom of the pot with his palm. He turned the spout to himself and took a pleasant sip.

The teapot contains not all tea leaves, but also wolfberry and chrysanthemum.

Even though I have been exercising all year round and never slacked off, when I reach middle age, many things are a bit out of my depth.

Zheng Juan, who was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, loose trousers, and a pair of light-colored slippers, also walked to the terrace with a pot of hot water, took the teapot away from Wang Zhong, opened the lid, and put it in

He added half a pot of hot water and reminded him, "The boiled water you just added, let it cool down a little before drinking."

Wang Zhong pointed to the gorgeous sunset on the horizon and said, "Look, what a beautiful scenery."

Zheng Juan sat on the round stool next to Wang Zhong and looked at the sky, "It's really pretty."

Looking down at Wang Zhong with his eyes closed and a look of enjoyment on his face, Zheng Juan struggled for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask.

"They will be buried there tomorrow, do we really not want to go?"

Wang Zhong opened his eyes and turned to look at her, and said, "If you say you don't want to go, you won't go. That can still be a lie! By the way, you are not allowed to sneak over."

His expression and tone were quite serious.

Zheng Juan rolled her eyes at Wang Zhong angrily, and said arrogantly, "Even if I want to go, I will do it openly. How could I sneak over there."

"You are not allowed to go if you are honest."

"After all, she is also the eldest brother's mother-in-law, and death is the most important thing. What happened in the past is in the past. Now that she is gone, why should we care about those things!" Zheng Juanyi is very open-minded, and it is just as she said.

, there is no need to argue with a dead man.

The key point is that if Wang Zhong doesn't go, Zhou Bingyi's place won't be justified.

"This is not a matter of carelessness."

"What is that?" Zheng Juan was confused.

Wang Zhong said, "This is a matter of attitude. Don't the Hao family look down on our working-class families? Then we will fulfill their wishes and have no contact with them at all. We will not have any involvement."

Isn't it good that they continue to be their family of high-ranking officials, and we can just live the daily life of ordinary people without affecting each other and fulfilling their wishes?"

"Okay, okay. Now in the Hao family, the eldest sister-in-law is the only one with no relatives. Is it possible that we have to draw a clear line with the eldest brother, sister-in-law and the others so that we won't have any contact with each other in the future?"

If it were about other things, Zheng Juan would basically obey Wang Zhong, but when it came to matters related to her family, many times, although Zheng Juan would not contradict Wang Zhong in front of others, she would do so in private.

He will still advise Wang Zhong.

"It's good to draw clear boundaries. To be honest, I really don't like Zhou Bingyi. As it is now, it's fine for us to live our own lives."

...In fact, Zhou Bingyi is not a bad person, but he is always confused about the Hao family. He came over several times to add trouble to Wang Zhong, which made Wang Zhong tireless.

"What are you talking about!" Zheng Juan raised her hand angrily and hit Wang Zhong on the arm. "That's your eldest brother. They are both born to the same mother. How can any biological brother draw a clear line and never interact with each other until death?"

"Why not? From ancient times to the present, there have been so many brothers fighting against each other. The princes of the past dynasties have fought for the throne, and the children of big families have fought for the right to inherit. Which of them is not a bloody storm, stepping on their own brothers?

There are countless cases where the lives of ordinary people are in the upper reaches of the family. Brothers divide the family and fight for property, brothers and sisters turn against each other, and they never interact with each other until death."

"Humph! You are the only one who makes sense!" Zheng Juan glared at Wang Zhong and became a little angry. "What if in the future, when we get old and the children grow up and start their own families, we will have to draw a clear line and never interact with each other until we die?"

"It's not the same thing."

"It's the same thing." Zheng Juan said, "Don't you often say that we, as parents, are our children's best teachers? Children learn how to behave in the world from us!"

"That's quite true." Wang Zhong said.

"But the reason is the reason. We have to adapt to local conditions. We can't just beat them all to death." Wang Zhong explained, "Besides, it's just a funeral. If we don't go, we won't go. It's not without a reason. If it's because of this

The thing is, Zhou Bingyi has to draw a clear line between him and me, so I’ll admit it.”

"As for the children, everything in this world cannot escape rationality. We behave uprightly and sit uprightly. Do we have to compromise in order to educate the children?"

"Besides, it's not like you don't know my temper. If we really go, I will definitely feel unhappy. If I say something that I shouldn't say, something might happen.

If it’s embarrassing, then wouldn’t it be self-defeating?”

"Instead of doing this, it's better not to go in the first place. Isn't this just for your own good and for my own good and for everyone's good?"

"Okay, okay! If I don't go, I won't go!" Zheng Juan was also helpless, "You are such a big person, why are you still acting like a child?"

Zheng Juan was also helpless. The reason she persuaded Wang Zhong was because she didn't want the relationship between Wang Zhong and Zhou Bingyi, which had finally been repaired with great difficulty, to deteriorate again because of this incident.

But Wang Zhong made it clear that he didn't want to go, and hearing Wang Zhong's words, it was obvious that it was not out of anger, but after careful consideration. Zheng Juan would never force Wang Zhong to do anything that Wang Zhong refused to do, and would simply do it.

Got his wish.

Wang Zhong walked up behind Zheng Juan, hugged her from behind, rested his chin on Zheng Juan's shoulder, and said softly, "Daughter-in-law, I know you are doing it for my own good, and you are afraid that I will regret it in the future."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Zhong's voice rang in his ears, and along with the sound of breathing, Zheng Juan placed her palms on the backs of the two big hands that were wrapped around her lower abdomen, slightly leaning back.

He said, "You have always had a good idea. As long as you don't make impulsive decisions, I will support you."

Wang Zhong pulled Zheng Juan around and looked at each other. A happy smile naturally appeared on Wang Zhong's face, "Stop talking about these bad things."

..."Yes!" Zheng Juan nodded.

Wang Zhong rolled his eyes, and his voice followed suit and he said, "By the way, how about you return the photogram tomorrow?"

"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zheng Juan suddenly realized, then became worried, and then gave Wang Zhong a complaining look. "Eldest brother has been busy arranging funeral arrangements these days. Zhou Rong must have gone over to help. Dad is here.

Mom is alone here, how can she be so busy?"

Compared to asking Zheng Juan to run to attend Jin Yueji's funeral, Huiguang Dichi helps Li Suhua, which is more acceptable to Wang Zhong.

"Didn't I just remember this?" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Zheng Juan said, "How about I go back and take a look later?"

"Forget it, it will get dark later. We'll go tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Zheng Juan went to the restaurant to look around, made an explanation, and then drove to the market. She sold four or five ribs, cut five kilograms of mutton, and bought a supplement in the store.

Boxes of milk and large and small bags almost filled the trunk of the car, so I drove back to Guangzichi.

On the other side, the Hao family!

Today is the day of Jin Yueji's burial. Relatives and friends, Hao's father and Jin Yueji's old comrades-in-arms and old colleagues, even those who were not able to come yesterday, all took the time to come to express their condolences and send Jin Yueji on her last journey.

Zhou Rong is still there. She took leave from school and came here specifically to attend Jin Yueji's funeral. She is also Zhou Bingyi's biological sister and has been helping Zhou Bingyi a lot these past two days.

Although for a big leader like Jin Yueji, even if there is no one to take care of the funeral affairs, the yamen will help to take care of it, both Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei want to take care of it personally and send Jin Yueji off to her last journey.

Zhou Rong is Zhou Bingyi's biological sister, so naturally she won't sit idly by.

There were also a large number of guests who came to express their condolences. The top leaders of various yamen departments came by themselves if they could. Those who were delayed by something and couldn't come also asked family members or secretaries to help them come.

Even the president of Jichun University came over. He was not surprised to see Zhou Rong. The two said hello and chatted for a while.

Zhou Rong is a native of Jichun. When the college entrance examination was resumed, the three old Zhou brothers and sisters were among the few outstanding talents in Jiangliao Province who were admitted to Yanda and Shuimu. Like this, all three brothers and sisters in the family were admitted to such good schools, let alone

It's the whole Jiangliao. Even nationwide, it's very rare.

Moreover, before inviting Zhou Rong back to Jichun, the school conducted an investigation into Zhou Rong's situation and had a basic understanding of Zhou Rong's family situation.

Seeing that Jin Yueji was about to be buried, Hao Dongmei felt infinite grief pouring out of her heart again, and she burst into tears. Zhou Rong and Qu Xiuzhen kept persuading her.

In the evening, after seeing off all the guests, the couple sat in the living room and had a simple dinner. Hao Dongmei finally couldn't help but said, "Bingkun and Zheng Juan really didn't come today."

Zhou Bingyi's expression darkened when he heard this, he nodded with difficulty, and sighed, "Hey." He really had no way to deal with Wang Zhong. In front of Wang Zhong, he couldn't even stand up like an eldest brother.

Wang Zhong was speechless.

Hao Dongmei felt unspeakable grievances in her heart, "Even if my mother had something to do with them before, and they refused to see my mother for the last time, then forget it, but now that my mother is gone, this last journey for them

Why don’t you come over and give me a gift?”

…At the same time, he also felt sorry for his mother.

"You are his big brother!"

Hao Dongmei was crying while talking, and tears couldn't stop falling from her eyes.

Zhou Bingyi could only continue to sigh, feeling helpless. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak.

After this incident, Hao Dongmei must have felt a pang in her heart towards Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan.

Zhou Bingyi understood that the relationship between him and Wang Zhong would never be the same as it was before 1969.

On the other end, Zheng Juan, who had just come out of the optical film, was not in a good mood. Zhou Zhigang's condition was more serious than the last time she came here. Not only was his memory getting worse, but his cognition was also far worse than before. Li Suhua

He also said that Zhou Zhigang had begun to urinate in the past few nights. As a result, Li Suhua smelled the smell of urine every morning when she woke up.

The first thing I did was to change the sheets, dry the quilt, and wash Zhou Zhigang's pants.

When I got home, I told Wang Zhong truthfully about Zhou Zhigang's situation and suggested that he should take Zhou Zhigang to Yanjing or Shanghai to have a look.

Wang Zhong said, "Didn't the experts invited last time by my sister-in-law say that current medical methods have no way to treat Alzheimer's disease? Although taking medicine can improve the old man's cognitive ability, it is limited, and the medicine is three-part poison. If it lasts for many years,

If you eat it, you may have some side effects."

"Then what should we do now?" Zheng Juan had no idea at all.

Wang Zhong said, "Hire a nanny. If a nanny helps mom take care of the old man, it will be easier for her."

"Hire a nanny?" Zheng Juan had never thought of it this way, not because she was unfilial, but because from the time she started writing down the notes, the word "nanny" had always been far, far away from Zheng Juan.

"That's a good idea."

"You are already busy enough running between the company and the magazine every day. I have to take care of the restaurant and take care of the children every day, so I really can't spare any time."

Zheng Juan has to make breakfast and dinner for the children every day. Occasionally, the children study late and have late night snacks such as sugar water and so on.

And the restaurant can bring tens of thousands of income to the family every month. In a year, that's hundreds of thousands.
