Chapter 1340: Doctor Shen, the New Year is Coming

"Zhou~Chen."

Niu Dali stretched out his tone, stared at Zhou Chen with a gloomy expression, and shouted fiercely.

"You are not allowed to have any thoughts about Yao Er."

"Are you blind?"

Zhou Chen directly confronted her: "Are you blind or what? Can't you tell what my attitude is? I have no interest in her at all."

Niu Dali breathed a sigh of relief: "It's best if you're not interested. Yao'er is so beautiful, even if you have some ideas, it's useless."

"You are sick."

Zhou Chen knew that it was useless for him to say anything to a bootlicker like Niu Dali, so he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him about this matter. You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.

Cai Xiaonian said with a grin, "I can testify that Zhou Chen has no feelings for Yao Yuling. But Dali, don't blame me for telling the truth. I'm afraid Yao Yuling doesn't like you."

"You know shit."

Niu Dali said angrily: "Yao'er doesn't like me now, that's because she doesn't see my good points and my determination. How do you say that? What's the point..."

"Faith will move mountains to open."

"Yes, with sincerity, even metal and stone can be moved. As long as I persist, Yao'er will be moved by me sooner or later and will be willing to be with me." Niu Dali said confidently.

Cai Xiaonian patted his shoulder and said, "Go to sleep. You can dream about anything."

Most people can see what kind of person Yao Yuling is after spending some time with her. Cai Xiaonian knows this clearly. He appreciates Yao Yuling's beauty, but has never thought about having anything to do with her. He knows he can't afford to offend her.

In fact, his conditions were better than Niu Dali's, but Niu Dali was different from him. He stared at Yao Yulin and couldn't see Yao Yulin clearly.

"go away."

Niu Dali was very impatient. He had set his sights on Yao Yuling and was willing to do anything for her. That was why he hated to hear others say that he was not worthy of Yao Yuling.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and find a place to get something to eat. It's my treat."

There is really nothing delicious on the train. There are working meals, but if you want to eat well, you have to pay for it.

So after getting off the bus, Zhou Chen prepared to find a restaurant to get something to eat.

When Cai Xiaonian heard the situation, his eyes immediately lit up: "Okay, let's go get dumplings on the bus and noodles on the bus. I know there's a noodle shop here that makes good noodles. Let's go."

Niu Dali muttered, "Eat, eat, eat. You get excited when I talk about eating. You just want to eat."

"If you don't want to eat, don't go. I think you eat the most every time."

The three of them walked out of the station laughing and came to a small restaurant outside Harbin Station and ordered three servings of noodles.

Nowadays, it is difficult to eat any delicacies even in restaurants outside. Moreover, not only do you need money to eat, you also need tickets, which is very troublesome.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen had enough money and tickets, so treating him to a meal was no big deal.

Niu Dali just said that what Cai Xiaonian said was exciting, but when he really started eating, he was like a starving ghost. He had already finished a big bowl before Zhou Chen and Cai Xiaonian had finished half of their meal.

"Ha, comfortable."

After the three of them finished their noodles, they sat in the restaurant for a while before heading to the station. Niu Dali went to check the locomotive with Cai Danian and Wu Changgui, while Cai Xiaonian also went to the train to do his job as a conductor. Zhou Chen was the only one left, and he wandered around the platform of Harbin Station.

Harbin Station is also a big station, no worse than Ningyang Station. After all, Harbin is also a large city with a large population.

After staying at Harbin Station for a few hours, the train from Harbin to Ningyang was finally about to depart. Jiang Zhanxian and others, who had rested well, came to the station entrance and began to maintain order.

Nowadays, for trains like this Ningha Line, there is generally only one train a day, so people who want to catch the train will basically try to catch it at this time, so there are naturally a lot of people.

For ordinary people nowadays, apart from bicycles, trains are the most convenient and cost-effective means of transportation. As for motorcycles, most people cannot afford them, let alone cars, which are only available to cadres.

Yao Yuling's voice came from the radio, promoting railway affairs and national spirit...

"Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth..."

After another busy period, after everyone was on board, the train started to whirr back.

Jiang Zhanxian saw that Zhou Chen was still in good spirits and gave him a few words of encouragement. He was very satisfied with his performance in his first time as a follower, which was much better than most of the newcomers.

On the way from Ningyang to Harbin, Zhou Chen did not cause him any worries at all and was very obedient, which made him, as his master, very comfortable.

On the way back to Ningyang, the train was not peaceful. There were no major events, but there were constant small ones. Zhou Chen and his colleagues were busy for a while and then idle for a while. Although there was a newcomer, Zhou Chen, they were still able to do things with ease, which made Jiang Zhanxian even more satisfied.

When he arrived in Ningyang, he saw that Zhou Chen was still full of energy and couldn't help but sigh.

"After all, they are young people, they are in good health and can endure it."

It took nearly four days from the departure from Ningyang Station to the return. Even he, an experienced conductor, felt very tired. Zhou Chen was different, who seemed to be fine.

He could only sigh that it was good to be young.

After getting off the train, Zhou Chen went back to the passenger police team to hand over his work. The next three days were all days off.

After saying hello to his colleagues, Zhou Chen carried his box and went home.

Walking on the road, listening to the ringing of bicycle bells passing by, he thought about buying a bicycle when he had time tomorrow. Although he had no interest in bicycles, having a bicycle was always more convenient than not having one.

"Zhou Chen is back."

"I'm back, aunt."

On the way back to the compound, Zhou Chen greeted his neighbors with a smile. Most of the people living in the nearby compounds were family members of those working on the railway. They might not be very familiar with each other, but most of them knew each other.

A group of playful kids greeted Zhou Chen, who came back in police uniform, with cheers.

"Uncle Xiao Zhou is back. Did he bring us anything delicious?"

"Uncle Xiao Zhou, I want some candy."

"Uncle Xiao Zhou..."

Zhou Chen usually has no resistance to children. He smiled and took out the White Rabbit milk candies he bought from Harbin Station from his pocket and distributed them to the children.

"Share it with me. Don't blame me if you get a tooth broken."

"Thank you Uncle Xiao Zhou..."

The children cheered as they shared the candies and expressed their gratitude politely.

Zhou Chen smiled and touched their heads, then walked into their compound.

"Zhou Chen is back."

"Aunt Gao, dinner isn't ready yet."

"Uncle Liu, take your grandson for a walk."

"Oh my, Zhou Chen, you look so handsome."

"Aunt Cai, you are so nice to hear. Isn't Xiaonian back yet?"

"........."

After returning home, Zhou Chen let out a long sigh. Although he had only lived in this house for a short time, he felt completely relaxed after returning. This is the magic of home.

After making some simple food and eating, Zhou Chen fell on the bed and fell asleep.

After a few days, how could it be possible that he really wasn't tired at all? He was just able to hold on but didn't show it.

He slept for more than ten hours and didn't wake up until the next morning when the sun was high in the sky. After washing up, he felt refreshed.

As soon as he came out of the house, Zhou Chen saw Cai Xiaonian wandering around the yard with his arms swinging.

"Hey, Zhou Chen, did you just wake up?"

"Almost. What about you? What are you doing here?"

"We just had breakfast and are now doing some exercise. Do you want to go fishing together?"

"No, something will happen later."

"Okay, then I'll go call Dali."

The students have already started school, so except for the little ones, all the older children in the compound go to school during the day.

The compound is big enough, with chickens, cats and dogs, so it is quite lively and full of the atmosphere of life.

When you live alone, you have to do everything by yourself, such as washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, etc., so there are many things to do.

After lunch, Zhou Chen took the money and tickets and walked out of the compound. He was going to buy a bicycle.

In this era, the price of buying a bicycle is relatively transparent. Money is not the most troublesome thing when buying a bicycle. The most troublesome thing is the bicycle ticket. If you want to buy a new bicycle, a bicycle ticket is essential, and you also have to register and stamp it, which is quite cumbersome.

Zhou Chen didn't choose and just bought a brand new Phoenix bicycle, which cost him 165 yuan, plus a bicycle ticket.

Riding a brand new bicycle and walking on the streets of the 1970s feels really good and has a sense of the times.

It was not until the evening that Zhou Chen rode his bicycle back to the compound. On the way back, he met an acquaintance in the compound.

"Doctor Shen!"

"It's you, Zhou Chen."

Doctor Shen is Shen Xiuping, one of the residents of the railway compound, and works as a doctor in the railway hospital.

Shen Xiuping is also an important character in the drama "Coming from South to North". She has a relationship with one of the male protagonists, Ma Kui, but because of the influence of her father, her ending is not very good.

Shen Xiuping is a good person. Not to mention what happened in the plot, Dr. Shen, as Zhou Chen knows her, is a very warm-hearted person. She will help anyone in the compound who has a headache or a cold, and she will do her best to help anyone who needs help.

Although she is a good person, she has been talked about behind her back a lot because she is already in her thirties but still single. Not to mention getting married, she doesn't even have a partner.

In this era, many women get married in their teens or twenties. It is rare to find someone like Shen Xiuping who is so well-off and still unmarried in her thirties.

Because of this incident, Shen Xiuping was often talked about behind her back. These gossipers who talk about others behind their backs have no moral sense.

"Oh, this is a new car I just bought. And, since you are working now, it would be more convenient to buy a car."

Zhou Chen did not say that he would give Shen Xiuping a ride. Instead, he got out of the car, held the bicycle and walked with her.

"Yes, we can go faster with a car. Did Doctor Shen just get off work?"

"Well, I just got off work. How about you? I heard that you were on the same train with Lao Cai and the others in the hospital?"

"Well, we are all from the Ningha line."

"You just started working, so you should discuss things with your colleagues at work."

Shen Xiuping has lived in the compound for many years. Zhou Chen is ten years younger than her and can be considered a junior, so she unconsciously puts herself in the shoes of an elder.

Zhou Chen just smiled. His actual age was many times older than Shen Xiuping's. In terms of work experience, he had much more than her. Even in the field of medicine, which she was best at, he was definitely much better than her.

When Zhou Chen pushed the brand new Phoenix bicycle back to the compound, it immediately caused a sensation, and a group of people gathered around to look at the new bike.

When seeing the new car, everyone had different expressions. Some were envious, some were jealous, some were simply happy for Zhou Chen, and of course there was also gossip.

Zhou Chen didn't take what others said to heart. He parked the car in his own small yard, let others watch, and went back to the house.

The next day, the police academy was on holiday, and Wang Xin, who had come back to rest, also ran to Zhou Chen and looked at Zhou Chen's new car with envy on his face.

He also has a bicycle at home, but it belongs to his father and it is not new, so it cannot be compared with Zhou Chen's.

When he saw Zhou Chen's new bike, he insisted on riding it for a few laps, but Zhou Chen didn't care and let him ride as he pleased.

In the evening, Wang Xin brought two bottles of wine, Cai Xiaonian brought a plate of dumplings, and Niu Dali brought peanuts, and they all came to Zhou Chen's house.

"Zhou Chen, you've already started working, so let's consider today as a day where we postpone our celebration for you, come on."

It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so Zhou Chen did not decline and started eating and drinking with Wang Xin and the other three.

Four people, two bottles of wine, they finally finished them all, Zhou Chen opened another bottle, and in the end, except Zhou Chen, the other three, Wang Xin, were all drunk, and they staggered back home one by one.

"Three rookies, trying to get me drunk. You're thinking too much."

Zhou Chen knew that Wang Xin and the other two wanted to get him drunk, but it was obvious that they were not qualified. He was fine, and the three of them all fell down.

After resting at home for three days, Zhou Chen went to work at the passenger police team on the fourth day, and then continued to follow the train and repeat his previous work.

…………

When people work hard, time passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the new year has arrived.

This year, the college entrance examination was restarted. Countless people came one after another to take the college entrance examination. Some people succeeded in one step, while others remained ordinary.

Zhou Chen has been in the passenger police team for several months. He is no longer a newcomer and is well-known in the team.

Over the course of several months, Zhou Chen had been on many missions and handled many cases. Although they were not major cases, he had caught a human trafficker and many thieves.

The most important thing is that Zhou Chen has been working for several months and has not made any mistakes so far. Captain Hu praised Zhou Chen for this several times during the summary meeting.

The time came to the year 78, and it was the eve of the most important annual Spring Festival. During this period, the railway work was also the busiest time, so the railway police team was more rigorous than usual.

Getting on the bus again, Jiang Zhanxian reminded Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, this is your first time experiencing the Spring Festival travel rush since you started working. It will be much busier than before. According to our experience, this period is the most prone to accidents, so you must be fully alert when working."

"Understood, Master."
