Chapter 228 Zhou Zhigang gets drunk and leaves
After everyone entered the house, Zhou Zhigang warmly invited Cai's father and mother to get on the kang. The kang was especially hot today. It was obvious that Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua had made special preparations for it. Cai Xiaoguang looked around the room and could tell that it had been cleaned. After all, there were quite a few odds and ends left outside yesterday, but there were none today.
"Our parents have made special preparations for it. Check if the house has been cleaned up." Cai Xiaoguang smiled and whispered in Zhou Rong's ear.
After hearing what Cai Xiaoguang said, Zhou Rong turned around and looked around, and found that it was true. Looking at Cai Xiaoguang who was grinning, she rolled her eyes at him unhappily and reached out to pinch his waist.
Of course Zhou Rong would not think that Cai Xiaoguang was making fun of her family. She knew that he was not that kind of person, so she did not get angry. Besides, this also showed her respect, didn’t it?
The two of them laughed and joked for a while, and Zhou Rong felt a little tired. Her body was too heavy now, so she felt very tired after just a slight movement. Cai Xiaoguang took out the bedding, tidied it up, and placed it behind Zhou Rong so that she could lean on it.
Zhou Zhigang and Cai's father and others had seen the two's actions a long time ago, but they didn't say anything and were all very happy. After all, the two were so loving and as parents, they were also very happy.
Father Cai guided Zhou Zhigang to chat. There was no other way. Although Zhou Zhigang's mood had eased a lot because of Father Cai's attitude, it was still quite different, so he still didn't know what to say. Father Cai also guided the topic to talk about the Third Front, and the two of them had a good chat.
Li Suhua and Cai's mother were much more harmonious. After all, they were both mothers, so of course they talked about their children. In addition, Zhou Rong was about to give birth soon, so there were too many topics to talk about, such as taking care of the child, confinement, and grandchildren.
Zhou Bingkun was not at home today. He went out early. He and Zheng Juan got engaged yesterday, so he went to help today. Besides, he really couldn't help much at home.
After chatting for more than two hours, it was almost noon. Li Suhua did not forget the time today, so when she saw that it was almost time, she quickly said sorry to Cai's mother, put on her shoes and prepared to cook.
Cai's mother was not at all shy. She put on her shoes and went to the kitchen. Although Li Suhua tried her best to stop her, she failed. The two of them went out to cook. This behavior also made Zhou Zhigang feel good. After all, they really treated you as their in-laws and didn't feel that their status was higher than his.
After the meal was ready, Zhou Bingkun also came back. After introducing themselves, the seven people sat down around the table. Zhou Zhigang took out a bottle of wine without a label from the cabinet and said to Cai's father.
"My dear, this is the wine I brought back from the south. I often drank it when I was there. This is an aged wine I specially picked out locally. Let's try it today and see if you can get used to it. If not, let's switch to the Moutai that Xiaoguang brought earlier. How about that?"
"Oh? Okay, pour me a cup to try. The tea you asked Xiaoguang to bring me before tastes good after I brewed it. The soup is clear, slightly bitter but sweet. It tastes quite good. And the bacon, too. I asked the nanny to make it before, and it does have a unique flavor." Cai's father was also very supportive and happily agreed. He directly pointed out that he had tasted the ones Zhou Zhigang sent and they were very good.
Zhou Zhigang was very happy when he heard this. What he gave was not a precious gift, but he was happy that others took it seriously. Besides, people of Cai's level must have better gifts than this, so this was all out of friendship.
Zhou Zhigang also understood this, so he was very happy. After pouring the wine, he warmly invited everyone to eat. Li Suhua and Cai's mother didn't care that the old men were drinking, and they kept picking up food for Zhou Rong and urged her to eat more.
Zhou Bingkun didn't care about these things, he couldn't say anything, when others drank, he would raise his glass, when others raised their glass, he would drink, his main point was to eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink.
After the meal, Zhou Zhigang drank too much, but fortunately he was not drunk, he just fell asleep. Li Suhua asked Zhou Bingkun to help Zhou Zhigang go into the house to sleep.
"My dear relatives, I am really sorry. When my boy is happy, he can't control his drinking. I am sorry to have embarrassed you." Li Suhua explained to Cai's father and mother with a smile.
"Nothing. Our two families met today and had a good meal together. It was a happy thing and there is nothing to say. Sister-in-law, it's getting late. We should go back too." Cai's mother said, holding Li Suhua's hand.
Li Suhua certainly had no objection. After all, Cai's father had drunk a lot. Besides, the head of his family was already lying down, so there was no way to keep him here.
Cai Xiaoguang also drank a little, but it was okay as he didn't drink too much, so he helped Zhou Rong and went out with Cai's father and mother. The driver had also come over and helped Cai's father get into the car. After Cai Xiaoguang and Li Suhua said goodbye, they also got in the car and left.
After returning to the government compound, after settling Cai's father down, Cai's mother came out and saw that Zhou Rong had not gone to rest, so she asked with concern.
"Xiao Rong, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"
"Oh, Mom, it's okay, I'm not tired. You should sit down for a while. You've been busy for a long time today." Zhou Rong also invited Cai's mother to sit down.
In the evening, after Cai Xiaoguang and Zhou Rong finished their meal, they went home. After all, they had not been home for several days. Although they occasionally went back to light the fire, they could not leave the fire empty for a long time, otherwise it would be difficult to burn.
At Zhou's house, Zhou Zhigang slept until dinner. When Li Suhua called him to get up, it seemed like he had slept a little too much.
Zhou Zhigang took the cup, took a sip of water, and asked.
"When did the in-laws leave? Didn't they say anything?"
"No, they left after dinner. Xiaoguang's father drank quite a bit as well, so he had to be supported when he left." Li Suhua said.
"Well, that's fine. Xiaoguang's parents are nice." Zhou Zhigang felt much better after drinking the water and said to Li Suhua.
"Yes, didn't I tell you before?" Li Suhua also said.
"Then I feel relieved. No matter what, I must meet them. Otherwise, if the child gets married, neither parent has met each other. That would be unreasonable." Zhou Zhigang said with relief.
The next day, early in the morning, after breakfast, Zhou Zhigang had already packed his luggage as he was going back to the Third Line Project today. Li Suhua got up early to prepare breakfast and cooked a lot of eggs for Zhou Zhigang to take with him, as well as the apples that Cai Xiaoguang had taken earlier.
Cai Xiaoguang also rushed over early in the morning, but when Zhou Zhigang saw him coming, he immediately chased him back.
"Xiaoguang, you should go back quickly. How can Xiaorong stay at home alone? Go back quickly. Bingkun can just take me to the train station. Go back quickly. After you go to work, your mother will go to take care of Xiaorong every day. I have already talked to your mother about it. You don't have to worry." Zhou Zhigang said to Cai Xiaoguang.
