The world of film and television starts from a young age.

Chapter 603 Catch the ducks on the shelves, deliberately pick things up
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole Zhou family got up early except for Zhou Cong who was still a little late in bed.

Especially the energetic Zhou Rui and Feng Yue got up early in the morning and had a snowball fight in the yard.

In order to get closer to her daughter, Zhou Rong also participated in the snowball fight, but she wanted to please her, but Feng Yue didn't pay much attention to her.

Maybe it was because she had hit too many walls in the past few years, or maybe she had grown up. Zhou Rong, who was ignored by her daughter, was not discouraged and still wanted to blend in.

During breakfast, Li Suhua asked, "Dad, you wrote to me a few years ago, saying you were going to pay New Year's greetings in optical format this year. When will we go there?"

Zhou Zhigang paused, then said impatiently, "I'm not going."

"Not going? Why?" Li Suhua asked puzzled.

Ever since she and Zhou Chen moved here, their family hasn't paid New Year's greetings to their neighbors in optical film for many years. Now that they are old and old, they don't think much about it, so they are especially concerned about this kind of thing. Heart.

Zhou Zhigang: "I'm tired, I want to take a rest."

Li Suhua wanted to persuade him again, but Zhou Chen stopped him in time: "Mom, listen to Dad. If he says no, don't say goodbye. Anyway, there will be plenty of time in the future."

Li Suhua murmured dissatisfiedly: "What time is there? I don't go home all year round. I finally go home for the New Year. I don't even pay New Year's greetings. It's boring."

Zhou Zhigang glared at her: "I want to pray to you, but I won't go anyway."

Li Suhua raised her head: "I'll go as long as I'm going, Juan'er, Rong'er, I'll clean up later, let's take the children to the optical film to pay New Year's greetings, people can't forget their roots."

Zhou Zhigang shouted angrily: "You old woman, are you trying to sing against me?"

"I didn't want to contradict you. It was you who said you wanted to pay New Year's greetings, but now you're not going, and you're going back on your word."

Zhou Zhigang was amused: "Hey, you old woman, did you go to the capital, your cultural skills have improved, and you can use idioms?"

Seeing the old couple bickering, Zhou Chen and the others also laughed.

After a pause, Zhou Zhi said just now: "Next time, I'm really not in the mood today, and Bingyi and the others didn't come, the family is not neat, and New Year's greetings are meaningless."

Zhou Rong pulled Li Suhua and said: "Mom, if you don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye. Later, Juan'er and I will take you and the three children. Let's go shopping in the market, and leave them a few big men here." Let's talk at home."

Only then did Li Suhua smile: "Okay, okay, let's go to the market and let them stay at home."

Zhou Zhigang snorted coldly: "I can't wait for it, it's annoying to be chattering next to me."

"I still think you're annoying."

…………

Not long after breakfast, Zhou Bingyi hurried over by himself.

"Bingyi, why are you here alone, Dongmei?"

Li Suhua looked around a few times, but he didn't see Hao Dongmei, so he asked suspiciously.

Zhou Bingyi's expression became a little unnatural, and he said, "Dongmei didn't sleep well last night, so I didn't let her come over and let her stay with her parents."

In fact, the fact is that after returning home last night, Hao Dongmei had a big fight with her mother, and was slapped, crying so hard that her face and eyes were swollen.

Afraid of being seen by her parents-in-law, Hao Dongmei didn't come over today.

"This child."

Li Suhua sighed, she knew it was definitely not as simple as what the eldest son said, but since the eldest son didn't say anything, she couldn't ask more questions.

Several women took their children out to the market, while several men stayed at home.

Zhou Zhigang asked Zhou Chen to set up a chess game, and then played chess with Zhou Bingyi, while Zhou Chen and Feng Huacheng watched the game from the sidelines.

In this day and age, entertainment activities are so good. At home is a TV that Zhou Chen mentioned just before he came back. He can watch TV and pass the time.

Time flies, and it is the third day of junior high school.

When she got up in the morning, Zheng Juan asked Zhou Chen, "Bingkun, didn't Chunyan say that she was going to have a banquet for everyone today, won't you go?"

"No, it's not like you don't know who their couple are. I don't want to have anything to do with them."

Not to mention what Cao Debao and Qiao Chunyan did in the TV series, but what they did after he came to this world was enough to chill him.

Originally, everyone could still maintain their face, but Cao Debao's actions directly broke all of this, so Zhou Chen is too lazy to intrigue with them now.

Zheng Juan said worriedly: "But Chunyan has known you for so many years after all, and Aunt Qiao and us are such good sisters. I think Chunyan is also very good. When we got married, we were too busy. She also apologized to you, there's no need to make it so awkward, right?"

Zhou Chen knew that Zheng Juan was a kind-hearted person, and Qiao Chunyan was so polite to her, so she didn't have a bad impression of Qiao Chunyan.

Moreover, Zheng Juan has always valued peace, both with her family and with her friends.

"Juan'er, I know you are thinking of me, but there are some things that really don't need to be accommodated."

"After all, we have been neighbors for so many years. It's nothing to go to have a meal, not to mention that the National Day and Chaochao will also go there. It won't be embarrassing."

Zhou Chen's attitude was also very firm, and naturally he would not be easily persuaded by Zheng Juan, so he made up his mind not to go.

But he never expected that Qiao Chunyan would really go all out this time. Not long after they finished breakfast, Qiao Chunyan brought her mother over.

"Suhua."

"sister."

"Oh, Suhua, I haven't seen you for two years. Your complexion is getting better and better. It seems that the water and soil in the capital really nourish people."

"No, but sister, you haven't changed at all. You are still so straightforward. I said I was going to see you, but I didn't expect you to come here first."

As soon as Li Suhua and Aunt Qiao met, they exchanged pleasantries very happily.

The two of them have known each other for many years, and they were also well-known good sisters in the optical film back then. Although they sometimes stumble, their relationship is still very good.

After Li Suhua moved here, they also met frequently. It was only two years after they went to Yanjing that they hadn't seen each other for two years. When they met, their emotions naturally emerged.

The two old ladies chatted happily, and Qiao Chunyan took the opportunity to ask Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan to visit their house.

Zhou Chen wanted to refuse on the spot, but Aunt Qiao insisted on persuading Zhou Chen to go, and even persuaded Li Suhua to reunite the younger generations.

Li Suhua thinks this is a good thing, one must not forget one's roots, one's son is promising, but childhood playmates can't be just like this.

So she asked Zhou Chen to go there, and brought Zheng Juan with her. As for the three children, just leave them at home and leave them to them.

Zhou Chen didn't expect Qiao Chunyan to have such a trick, so he had to admit that she had a wishful thinking.

If there were not many people in this world who could convince him, Li Suhua, who had been living with him for more than ten years, was definitely one of them. He could not give Aunt Qiao face, but it was impossible not to listen to his mother.

So under Qiao Chunyan's smiling gaze, he could only agree to go.

Zheng Juan didn't want to go, but Qiao Chunyan still pulled her along, so Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan changed their clothes and set off with Qiao Chunyan.

Halfway through, Zheng Juan suddenly asked Qiao Chunyan: "Chunyan, this doesn't seem to be the way to the optical film?"

Qiao Chunyan, who was riding a bicycle, laughed and said, "Juan'er, you haven't come back for a long time. I don't know our current situation. Our unit has allocated a house for me. Now Debao and I have separated from my parents. This time we went to the house we live in now."

When Zheng Juan heard it, her face was full of envy: "The housing allocated by the unit, Chunyan, you are really capable. Not only did you become the women's director, but you also allocated the house, which is too powerful."

Although she is a voluntary housewife and takes care of a large family, it doesn't mean she doesn't envy those career women.

In fact, she often envied Zhou Rong and Hao Dongmei, envied that they could go to college and have a good job in the future, but she couldn't.

So when she was at home, she put her status very low. Even though Zhou Chen persuaded her many times, she said yes, but in fact there was not much change.

Her inferiority complex was developed over the years. Although she married Zhou Chen and lived a good life, she felt that Zhou Chen brought all of this to her and never dared to take credit for it.

Regarding how to reverse Zheng Juan's low self-esteem, Zhou Chen already had a countermeasure in mind, but now is not the time.

"What's so amazing, my brother is much better than me. Debao and I also took the exam in Yenching University, but we don't have my brother's ability to be admitted to the university." Qiao Chunyan was very humble.

Zheng Juan said: "That's different. Bingkun is a medical student, and he will become a doctor after graduation. Chunyan, you are a national cadre. It's different when you say it."

She was just saying this as a compliment. In fact, she had stayed in Yanjing for two years, and her knowledge had grown a lot. She knew that although her husband studied medicine, after graduation, he might not be worse than a national cadre.

However, Qiao Chunyan didn't know the way to do it. When she heard Zheng Juan's compliment, she was polite, but she couldn't hide the smug look on her face.

What she is most proud of in her life is that she has become a district women's director from a pedicure in a public bath. Looking at the entire optical film, who can have such an achievement as her.

She often said that the three brothers and sisters of the Zhou family were promising and had been admitted to university, but in her heart she felt that she was no worse than them.

Look at her now, not only is the district women's director, but also has a house. In this era, how many people can have such achievements as hers?
What if I can't go to university? If I can't go to university, I can still be a national cadre.

Qiao Chunyan and Zheng Juan were flattering each other, but Zhou Chen didn't intervene. Qiao Chunyan is indeed a bit of a city man, but in his eyes, that is really too low level.

The house Qiao Chunyan allocated was the upper floor of a two-story building, a simple one bedroom and one living room, with a separate kitchen and bathroom, and the bathroom was still a flush toilet.

This house is nothing in the eyes of Zhou Chen and the others, but to the many friends of the optical film, it is definitely a mansion.

Qiao Chunyan made such a big move to invite everyone to his home for nothing more than to show off, which Zhou Chen saw very clearly.

At this time, Qiao Chunyan's house had many people here, including Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian, Sun Chanchao and Yu Hong, and Tang Xiangyang.

Because it was not yet noon, Cao Debao sat in the living room chatting after sorting out the dishes with the help of Wu Qian and Yu Hong.

Cao Debao, Sun Chanchao and Wu Qian talked the most, and Tang Xiangyang talked the least. He worked in the same workshop with Cao Debao. Because of Zhou Chen's appearance, the so-called Six Little Gentlemen never appeared, so he talked to Sun Chanchao. He is not very familiar with Xiao Guoqing and others.

Wu Qian ate melon seeds and asked, "Debao, can your Chunyan really invite Zhou Bingkun?"

Cao Debao yelled: "Of course, Chunyan already has a coup, she can definitely invite Zhou Bingkun over, so don't worry."

A few years later, although he still didn't have a good impression of Zhou Chen, but now he has become much more tactful, and he is no longer hostile to Zhou Chen as before.

More importantly, both he and Qiao Chunyan felt that if Zhou Chen didn't come, the dinner would be almost meaningless, because whether it was Xiao Guoqing, Sun Chaochao, or Tang Xiangyang, their relationship with Zhou Chen was obviously stronger than theirs. are close.

Take Tang Xiangyang as an example, if Cao Debao hadn't said that Zhou Chen would come too, he probably wouldn't have come.

Wu Qian said with a bit of sourness: "Zhou Bingkun is different from before. He is a college student now and will be an official in the future. It is our honor to come and meet with us."

This yin and yang tone immediately angered Xiao Guoqing. He slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Wu Qian, if you don't know how to speak, talk less. Is Kun'er the kind of person you said?"

In Xiao Guoqing's heart, Zhou Chen is still a good brother. After he returned home, he immediately went to drink and eat with him and Sun Chaochao, which showed that he missed them.

Wu Qian is a tyrannical master, she pulled her face and shouted: "What did I say, Xiao Guoqing, what prestige are you playing here, I don't even have the right to speak now?"

"You old lady, who arranges this and that all day long, has Kun'er provoked you? Don't forget that the house you live in now belongs to Kun'er."

"So what, yes, we live in their house, but he asked us to look after the house for him. If there is something wrong with the house, don't we help him fix it, and it's not for nothing."

"What are you talking about..."

Seeing Xiao Guoqing standing up, Sun Chanchao and Cao Debao quickly grabbed him.

"National Day, National Day, calm down, why not get angry."

"Yeah, National Day, what are you doing, it's Chinese New Year's Eve."

Yu Hong also pulled Wu Qian to persuade her, but when Wu Qian saw someone persuade her, she became even more motivated.

"Let go, let him come over, let him beat me to death, what kind of life do I live in their house? During the Chinese New Year, I serve their old snacks to eat and drink. The house is a mess. It's not me who cleans it up Yes, what are his two older sisters doing? They know that they come to our house to eat and drink every day, and I haven't seen them bring anything, so I'm not allowed to say..."

"Wu Qian, you are enough, don't go too far, let me tell you..."

A few people pulled back and forth, and finally managed to hold them back.

Tang Xiangyang was very embarrassed sitting on the side. He was not familiar with Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian, and he didn't know how to persuade him. stand up.

"Squeak."

Suddenly the door was opened, and Qiao Chunyan led Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan: "Brother, Juan'er, this is my new home. I know that people like you who are used to living in big houses must think our place is small. I... ..."

As soon as the words fell, she saw that the situation in the room seemed not right, and she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"

Cao Debao hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, Bingkun, Zheng Juan, you are here, welcome, we haven't seen each other for several years."

Zhou Chen nodded at him, and Zheng Juan handed the things in her hands to Cao Debao very politely, and said, "Hi, this is my first visit, I don't know what to bring, please don't mind."

"No, Zheng Juan, you are too polite, just come and bring anything."

"Should be."

Xiao Guoqing, Sun Chanchao and Tang Xiangyang all greeted Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, you are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "I'm delayed by something, Xiangyang, you are here too, when did you come back?"

Tang Xiangyang said: "I came back two days earlier than you. I wanted to find you, but the old man at home was sick and couldn't leave."

"It's okay, we can get together again when we arrive in Yanjing."

"Okay, then call Lu Chuan to join us."

Hearing what Zhou Chen and Tang Xiangyang said, Cao Debao couldn't help asking: "I heard from Xiangyang that Lu Chuan talked about a girlfriend from Yanjing, and now he won't come back even for the Chinese New Year?"

Tang Xiangyang smiled and said, "That's right, the person he was talking about was from Yanjing, and there was no one in his family anymore, so he didn't come back during the Chinese New Year."

"That's a pity. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Lu Chuan for more than two years." Cao Debao said with a face full of regret.

Qiao Chunyan commanded: "Everyone stop standing, sit down quickly, let's sit down and chat slowly, there is plenty of time, Debao, you can cook."

"Okay, wait, I'm going to cook now."

With Qiao Chunyan becoming the women's director, her status in the family has naturally risen sharply. Now most of the housework in the family is done by Cao Debao.

Cao Debao ran to the kitchen to cook, Qiao Chunyan asked everyone to sit down, and then began to chat.

"First of all, we want to welcome my brother and Zheng Juan. It's been a long time since we got together, and Zheng Juan seldom participates in our gatherings, so everyone should give a warm welcome."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Chunyan took the lead in applauding, and the others also laughed and applauded.

Sun Chanchao said: "Chunyan, don't blame Bingkun for not coming to the party, who made you offend Bingkun in the first place."

Qiao Chunyan said angrily: "Go, you go, it's all about the year of the monkey, my brother doesn't hold grudges anymore, so you insist on bringing it up."

Sun Chanchao smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you to remember the lessons learned from the past, hahaha..."

"roll."

Qiao Chunyan glanced at Zhou Chen and found that Zhou Chen didn't mind, so she was relieved.

"Brother, Xiangyang, none of us have ever been to Yanjing, the capital. Tell us, what does Yanjing look like? Isn't it particularly spectacular and crowded?"

Wu Qian, Yu Hong and others were also interested and followed Qiao Chunyan to ask questions.

"Yes, I only watched the capital on TV. Have you ever been to Tiananmen Square or the Forbidden City?"

"And the Great Wall, and those high officials on TV, have you all seen them?"

"........."

Tang Xiangyang said: "I'm usually busy with my studies and rarely go out to play, but I have been to Tiananmen Square and climbed the Great Wall. It's really quite spectacular."

Zhou Chen didn't say a word. He has been to all the things they said. To be precise, he has been to most of the places of interest and historic sites in the country. Of course, they are in different parallel worlds.

Qiao Chunyan looked at Zheng Juan again: "Zheng Juan, you have also stayed in Yanjing for two years, must have been to many places?"

Zheng Juan replied implicitly: "I have been to some places, and Bingkun took me there, but I don't know much about it, so I just follow the trend."

She was very excited when she thought of the spectacular sights that Zhou Chen took her to play and saw.

In the past, how could she have time to play, and she had never seen so many places of interest. At that time, her world view was subverted, and she realized that there are so many interesting places in the world.

The four women were talking there, and Zhou Chen's four men were also sitting together and chatting about men's affairs.

"Bingkun, if you are free in a few days, go to your house and Zheng Juan's house to have a look. We have kept it well for you. If you need to fix anything, tell us and we will help you. alley."

Since Zhou Chen went to Yanjing to go to university, the Zhou family's old house and the Zheng family's house in Taiping Hutong were handed over to Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao.

Xiao Guoqing and his wife live in the Zhou family's old house, and Sun Chanchao and his wife live in Taiping Hutong.

Of course, the Zhou family's house is better and bigger for these two houses. Naturally, Sun Chanchao and his wife also have ideas, but Wu Qian insists on occupying them, and they can't say anything. They can only move to Taiping Hutong, at least not Sleep in the same room with my parents and sister.

Zhou Chen said: "Then I'll take a look when I have time in two days."

Although he didn't value these two houses very much, it was impossible for Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao to mess around, especially Zhou's house, which was Zhou Zhigang's treasure, and he would definitely come back in the future.

Cao Debao's speed is not slow, and he quickly prepared a table of dishes.

"The craftsmanship is mediocre, everyone just eats, I'll get you some wine."

Cao Debao can be described as a one-stop service, and Qiao Chunyan put a cup in front of everyone.

"Today I'm in charge, everyone don't be polite to me, everyone has a few drinks, Juan'er, you have a drink too."

Zheng Juan quickly waved her hand: "No, I won't drink anymore. I have to take care of my children when I go back. It's inconvenient to get drunk."

Wu Qian shouted: "Hey, Juan'er, what you said is wrong, who among us doesn't want to take care of the children, besides, don't you have your father-in-law and mother-in-law to help you, unlike me, go back after dinner , but also serve a big family."

Xiao Guoqing was dissatisfied and said: "Okay, you are everywhere, why can't you say a few words less?"

Wu Qian said very shamelessly: "You don't want to listen to me, you can go, why don't you go back and serve me?"

"you."

"National Day, shut up, we women, how many times can we rest throughout the year, can't you let Wu Qian?"

"I won't let her?"

Xiao Guoqing wanted to say more, but Zhou Chen pulled him and shook his head, so he let out a breath and stopped talking.

"Okay, my mistake, my mistake, let's go."

"Eat and drink."

With Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao, two eloquent people, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very lively. Several people were laughing and joking, drinking wine and eating vegetables.

Both Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan seldom spoke, and even if others mentioned them, they would only deal with them a few words.

After eating and drinking, everyone began to talk freely.

Cao Debao drank a lot of wine, and when he got drunk, he began to speak a little thoughtlessly again.

"If you ask me, among us, Bingkun is the best, the most promising, and the most capable."

"I agree with that."

"I agree too."

Both Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao raised their hands in agreement, and Qiao Chunyan even gave a thumbs up.

"Of course, my brother, this is my brother, my brother-in-law, Qiao Chunyan, can I have no skills?"

Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "No, I'm just a poor student right now, so I don't have any achievements or skills. You guys are too praised."

"This is not a compliment, but a fact."

Cao Debao raised his voice: "Among the friends we played together, only you, Xiang Yang and Lu Chuan were admitted to the university, but whether it is Xiang Yang or Lu Chuan, they are not as capable as you. Look at your family. The house, like a small villa, is the first among us, Xiangyang, do you agree or not?"

Tang Xiangyang said: "I agree, I agree. I also admire Bingkun very much. You don't know that Bingkun's family is also doing very well in Yanjing."

"Let me tell you, let me tell you, I've never been wrong about people."

Cao Debao raised his head triumphantly: "We have all been to Bingkun's house, and that house is quite impressive. We thought it was rented, but who would have thought that they would have already bought it. Back then we all bought it. Crowded with the family in a small house, Bingkun has already bought a big house."

"Speaking of which, I have always had a question, Bingkun, your house is not cheap, isn't it? When you worked in a publishing house, your salary shouldn't be high, and I also heard that your uncle and aunt are both Pay the money, how did you earn the money to buy the house, and share it with us?"

As soon as Cao Debao said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird, and he looked at Zhou Chen involuntarily.

In fact, not only Cao Debao was curious, but other people were equally curious, because Zhou Chen's house was placed there, and one could tell at a glance that it was not cheap, definitely over a thousand.

What was the concept of 1000 yuan a few years ago, and they all knew that Zhou Chen's family lived a good life, and the monthly living expenses were definitely not small.

The old man didn't pay, the family spent a lot of money, and Zhou Chen was the only one who made money, and he could still afford such a house, that's something to say.

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Debao with a half-smile, how could he not see that this kid was asking this question on purpose with the help of Jiu Jin.

Sure enough, he knew that Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao called him over for more than just eating.

Qiao Chunyan gave Cao Debao a slap, and scolded dissatisfiedly: "Debao, you are full and have nothing to do, right? This is my brother's own business. Why do you care so much?"

Cao Debao yelled very cooperatively, and then said to Zhou Chen with a face full of embarrassment: "Bingkun, I'm so sorry, look at my mouth, I can't tell what to ask and what not to ask, I should fight, I should fight .”

As he said that, he really slapped himself twice.
