A glimpse of the full picture of the bustling city, there are old objects engraved with mottled times, old street scenes, and seemingly expensive old foreign buildings. Randomly choose a household, shimmering and overlapping, enter the door straight into the living room, there are countless photo trophies on the left and right sides, including the outstanding “five good families” on the wall. The neighbors admire the old Zeng Family harmony.
Lao Zeng was born in the 1950s and is now in his twilight years. Because his parents wanted to celebrate the founding of New China, he specially named him Zeng Jianguo, which is of commemorative significance. However, he has been around for most of his life. In his unpretentious life, Zeng Jianguo has continuously explored his entertainment interests, strived to be a role model for labor, and even raised his children alone.
If you talk about Zeng Jianguo’s success, it also depends on the excellence of the children. The four graduated to enter the society and each perform their duties. The eldest sister Zeng Zhiting, as a well-known chief surgeon in the city, cannot do without work 24 hours a day. Except for normal eating and drinking, her marriage is almost dead in name.
As for the second brother Zeng Zhidong, this is the director of room affairs of the most luxurious hotel in the city. His special family environment left him heartbroken. There are no customers that can’t be dealt with, no orders that can’t be taken, only constant family affection.
Unlike others, Zeng Zhixiang, the third child, left home to work prematurely. In the end, he not only drove to become a boss, but also possessed a good skill. He also met his partner Dong Chunxiang and had an unexplained relationship with her.
So far, Zeng Jianguo’s life in his old age is very secure, except that sometimes he feels lonely. Although the fourth child Zeng Zhiling is happy, but this woman does not have the character of 46, it seems that Zeng Jianguo is looking in the mirror, and looks like him everywhere.
The five good families that outsiders talk about, Zeng Jianguo has a lot of face, and he is both civil and military, and will always receive leaders in the community for inspections, and when reporters interviews, he will be pushed to the front desk as the face of the community. However, just looking at the surface of things is the unique inertia in human society. Life is not only a few white flakes, but occasionally there will be yellow dust and sand, just like today’s special day.
Zeng Jianguo set the rules at the beginning, no matter who celebrates his birthday, the whole family must be there, because in his eyes, unity is strength. So after Zeng Jianguo planned to play basketball with Lao Ni, he would personally take care of the meal and take everyone to celebrate Zeng Zhiling’s one year older.
However, it was counterproductive. Zeng Jianguo lived alone for many years. He did not expect to have hallucinations today. Following the music, he seemed to see his deceased wife Fan Liping singing and dancing on the square, causing him to dunk and slam into the basketball iron frame, losing consciousness on the spot. .
As news of Zeng Jianguo passed out, old Ni and his older brother-in-law Xing Yaoping rushed to the hospital first, Zeng Zhidong left his job; Zeng Zhixiang canceled the confession ceremony; Zeng Zhiling temporarily let go of the non-repaying boss, and the three hurried to the door of the operating room , I haven’t seen the eldest sister arrive for a long time.
Because of the death, Zeng Zhidong grabbed the phone and complained angrily that Zeng Zhiting was the pillar of the family and was absent at critical moments, and then urged her to return as soon as possible. Zeng Zhixiang was dissatisfied with the second brother’s tone to the eldest sister, so he had a dispute with him. Fortunately, Lao Ni stepped forward to stop him in time. He couldn’t help feeling that the two brothers would definitely fight each other as long as they met.
Fortunately, the rescue was in time. Zeng Jianguo is not in danger of life yet and is still in a coma. Zeng Zhiting personally came forward to stabilize the overall situation and arranged for her family to take turns to take care of her father. Unexpectedly, Zeng Zhixiang and Zeng Zhidong disagree again, and the more noisy they get, the more fierce they are.
Seeing Xing Yaoping’s anger when he threw the cup, he rebuked the two of them regardless of their priorities. Zeng Zhiling took her second brother out to calm his emotions, trying to persuade him not to hold on to the past. Because of blood relationship.
Considering Zeng Zhidong’s internal grievances, Zeng Zhiling couldn’t help asking her second elder brother about the origins of her elder sister and third elder brother, especially thinking that she had been kept in the dark since childhood. She was really impatient and curious. Zeng Zhidong couldn’t bear the entanglement of his sisters, and simply told her the story of how his father adopted two children.
It turned out that after Zeng Jianguo and Fan Liping got married, they gave birth to Zeng Zhidong within a few years. However, for various reasons, the two finally chose to divorce. Fan Liping met Duan Tianqing, the chairman of the labor union, and his daughter Zeng Zhiting. After marriage, he gave birth to Zeng Zhidong, while Zeng Jianguo and Fei Yajuan walked together and had the fourth oldest, Zeng Zhiling.
Such a complicated family relationship should have their own lives, and there will be no intersection from now on. Unexpectedly, Fan Liping and Duan Tianqing died in a gas poisoning accident. Zeng Jianguo couldn’t bear to watch the children become orphans, so he took the eldest sister and the third brother into the house and raised them as his own. At the same time, he asked everyone not to mention it again.
After understanding the causes and consequences, Zeng Zhiling personally bought a midnight snack, but she did not expect to be self-defeating and intensified the conflict between the two brothers. Knowing that the second child and the third child were fighting downstairs, Zeng Zhiting rushed out of the hospital holding a broomstick, just like an eldest mother, teaching her ineffective brother.
Due to the strategic adjustment of the group headquarters, it was decided to sell the hotel business as a whole. In the near future, several internationally renowned chain parties will come to inspect, so the general manager Lao Cui wants to hand over the reception of the inspection team to Zeng Zhidong and remind him to cherish this opportunity. Zeng Zhidong is unwilling to betray the trust of his master, but he has to face the responsibility of taking turns in nursing, and his family career is dilemma, and he is caught in entanglement.
The car repair shop ushered in a special customer. The special thing is that this young girl named Fan Yuqing owns a vintage car made 70 years ago. I hope Zeng Zhidong can help her repair the car and treat her as a grandfather. Birthday surprise. However, the classic car is so old. Zeng Zhidong thought that he could not be repaired in a short time, and simply refused. Unexpectedly, Dong Chunxiang felt that the appearance of the repair could be guaranteed without paying attention to the driving performance, so he accepted Fan Yuqing’s commission on the spot.
Faced with this arduous task, Zeng Zhidong worked overtime overnight and contacted friends abroad. Even though it was difficult to talk to other auto repairers, since he had already made a promise, he would not give up easily. Moreover, Dong Chunxiang was very confident in him.
In the next few days, Zeng Jianguo’s inspection report was relatively stable, without any abnormalities. Xing Yaoping was in charge of the first day of care. When the others returned to work, he took the initiative to sit in front of the hospital bed and cried silently. Then he remembered that on the eve of his wedding, he vowed to Zeng Jianguo to take care of Zeng Zhiting forever. It’s a pity that the original promise was not fulfilled. The two people got divorced. Although they regretted it, it was hard to recover. Zeng Zhiting stood outside the door, leaning weakly against the wall.
