Chapter 1346: Yao Yuling faints, peacock spreads its tail

When Wang Xin returned to the compound, he saw the Egg King wandering around the compound and muttered unhappily, "I'll stew you sooner or later."

Aunt Wu passed by and said, "Wang Xin, what are you mumbling about here? Who are you going to eat?"

"No one, I just got home from get off work and I'm hungry, so I thought about eating something."

"You look very hungry. Didn't you have any food at work?"

"Eat, eat."

Zhou Chen walked past them but was stopped by Aunt Wu.

"Xiao Zhou, what I told you two days ago..."

Zhou Chen immediately had a headache: "Aunt Wu, why are you bringing this up again?"

Aunt Wu said earnestly, "Xiao Zhou, you are not young anymore. You are the only child left in your Zhou family. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You have to shoulder the responsibility of carrying on the family line."

Zhou Chen looked helpless: "Aunt Wu, thank you for your concern, but I really don't want to date anyone yet. Why don't you take a look at Wang Xin, he is also old enough, you can introduce him to someone."

After diverting the blame, he ran away. Aunt Wu really turned her attention to Wang Xin.

Wang Xin, who was standing nearby watching the fun, became anxious when he saw Zhou Chen actually shifted the topic to himself.

"Aunt Wu, I have something else to do. I'll go back first."

"Hey, Wang Xin, don't go, I'm telling you..."

These aunties in the compound are all very nice, but the thing about them introducing date to everyone is that, although they have good intentions, Zhou Chen really can't handle it.

Zhou Chen made a simple dinner and went out for a walk after eating.

There are really too few entertainment activities these days. During the days at home, apart from playing chess and cards with Lu Hongxing and others, and occasionally going fishing, there are really no other entertainment activities.

He was so bored that he was ready to find something to kill time.

At night, Zhou Chen dragged a bicycle with a piece of wood about 50 to 60 centimeters long tied to the back seat, and also a few knives.

In order to find these knives and wood suitable for wood carving, he shopped around for a long time. Since most stores are now state-owned, he went to several stores before buying this piece of wood at a furniture factory. The quality is still unsatisfactory, so he had to use it reluctantly.

Although his wood carving skills have reached a very high level, reaching the master level, he still wants to continue to improve so that he can make a few sets of furniture for his own home.

It’s just that it always feels a bit weird to see a master woodcarver making furniture.

As for the knives, Zhou Chen did not have too many requirements, because with his strength, meticulous control and hands-on ability, even if the knives were not professional, he could use them at a professional level.

Using a knife to carve wood can not only improve the woodcarving technique, but also hone his knife skills. This kind of force may not be very useful in modern urban society, but in the ancient world, and even in other worlds, it can still be of some use.

It can not only kill time but also help yourself, which is better than wandering around all day long.

On the way back to the compound, a figure suddenly came into Zhou Chen's sight, and the other person also saw him.

"Hey, it's you, Zhou Chen, what are you doing?"

Ever since Zhou Chen made his intention clear last time, Yao Yuling had not had much contact with Zhou Chen except for work and daily life. However, when they met this time and saw the big piece of wood behind Zhou Chen's bicycle, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Zhou Chen said: "I have nothing to do now, so I bought some wood and knives and prepared to go back to do some carpentry work and carve something."

Yao Yuling was surprised: "You also know carpentry?"

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

"I didn't realize you were so talented. You can even do carpentry."

"Knowing a little carpentry is not a jack of all trades. It's getting late. Are you going out to play?"

"Yeah, I went to see a movie."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived outside the compound. Suddenly, a man rushed out from the darkness and jumped in front of Zhou Chen and Yao Yuling, giving Yao Yuling a big fright.

"Oh, my god, Niu Dali, do you want to scare me to death?"

The person who jumped out was Niu Dali. He ignored Yao Yuling's complaints and stared at Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, why did you come back with Yao Er? Where did you go so late at night?"

Before Zhou Chen could answer, Yao Yuling shouted in dissatisfaction: "Why do we need to report to you before we go anywhere?"

"No, I'm just worried about you. Where did you go with Zhou Chen?"

"and many more."

Zhou Chen interrupted Niu Dali and said, "Niu Dali, you misunderstood. Yao Yuling and I did not go out together. We just met outside."

"That's it."

Niu Dali was skeptical, then looked at the wood on the back seat of Zhou Chen's car.

"Where did you get this big piece of wood?"

"I bought it. I'm tired of holding it. I'll go back first. You guys can chat."

Zhou Chen didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Niu Dali and Yao Yuling. He had a good relationship with Niu Dali, but he knew very well to what extent Niu Dali flattered Yao Yuling. If he tried to persuade him, it would not only be ineffective, but Niu Dali might even suspect him of having ulterior motives.

There is no way. The thinking of bootlickers is sometimes illogical. Any words that are good to them can turn into persecution when they hear them.

So in order to prevent such a thing from happening, he didn't even think about trying to persuade Niu Dali.

You think they are just bootlickers, but maybe they are enjoying it?
You are not a fish, you know the happiness of fish.

As I pushed my bicycle away, I could still hear the conversation between Niu Dali and Yao Yuling behind me.

"I went to the movies and ran into Zhou Chen by chance..."

“Are there many people watching the movie?”

"Too many, I..."

Licking the dog!
Zhou Chen sighed. Niu Dali was really too humble in front of Yao Yuling, but the more humble he was, the less likely he would get good results.

Because he had to go out in the afternoon, Zhou Chen started carving after getting up in the morning. He took out the wood he bought yesterday and started carving.

Holding the knife and looking at the piece of wood in front of him, Zhou Chen thought for a long time and finally decided to carve a pair of phoenixes.

He did not start immediately, but first drew a pair of phoenixes on paper. As a master painter, he was naturally familiar with the mythical beast such as the phoenix and drew it quickly.

Comparing with the portrait, Zhou Chen started to carve the wood. It was not an easy task to carve a phoenix on such a piece of wood.

After several hours in the morning, he had not even finished one tenth of the work. He was not trying to rush the work, so he did not speed up and was in a state of half playing and half carving.

Just after lunch and preparing to continue carving, Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian came running over.

"Zhou Chen, we still have a while before work starts. Let's go play cards for a while. The three of us, plus Dali, will make four people."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen responded, "Okay, let's go."

The four of them set up a table in the courtyard and started playing cards. They didn't play for money, they just played for fun.

But after playing for a while, conflicts arose because Niu Dali's card skills were so bad that even Zhou Chen was a little disgusted, not to mention Cai Xiaonian and Wang Xin.

After a while, Niu Dali was driven out and was replaced by Wu Changgui. Niu Dali stood behind and watched the fight with an indignant look on his face.

But soon, Niu Dali's attention was attracted by someone else.

Yao Yuling was seen walking out of Aunt Lu's house, wearing a pink coat.

"Aunt Lu, thank you so much, look how well it fits me, it's so nice."

"As long as it fits, just let me know if you need anything."

Aunt Lu is Lu Hongxing’s wife, a housewife who knows some needlework and occasionally makes clothes for people to earn some pocket money. In this compound, Yao Yuling is her biggest customer.

When the other women saw Yao Yuling's pink dress, they couldn't help but praise her.

The vast majority of women of this generation are conservative and family-oriented, and women like Yao Yuling are a minority.

When others see her bright and beautiful appearance, they may murmur a few words in private, but most of them will be envious and jealous. How many women, even older women, don’t like to be beautiful? It’s just that few people would express it like Yao Yuling.

Yao Yuling chatted with them with a smile, and when she saw Zhou Chen and the others playing cards over there, she walked over.

"Hey, playing cards."

"Yao'er, your dress is really nice. It matches your temperament very well. It's very beautiful."

Such words would only come from Niu Dali's mouth.

Yao Yuling was in high spirits and was about to speak when her head suddenly felt heavy, her vision was spinning, her body swayed, her feet slipped, and she fell to the ground.

"Oh my god, Yao'er."

Niu Dali screamed in fright, fell to his knees and tried to help Yao Yuling who had fallen to the ground.

"Yao'er."

Wang Xin and a few others who were playing cards were also startled. They quickly dropped the cards in their hands and went to check on Yao Yuling. When other people in the yard heard the noise, they all quickly gathered around.

Niu Dali half-lifted Yao Yuling up, but Yao Yuling had already fainted and lost consciousness.

"What's going on? What's going on? Yao'er, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Chen squatted down and took a few glances, then said, "She may have low blood sugar and suddenly fainted. Let's take her into the house first."

Niu Dali picked up Yao Yuling without saying a word and rushed to Yao Yuling's home.

After a while, Doctor Shen, who had returned from the hospital for dinner, learned about the situation and came to help immediately.

After taking her pulse and pressing a few times, Yao Yuling finally opened her eyes in a daze.

Niu Dali asked impatiently: "Doctor Shen, what happened to Yao'er? Why did she suddenly faint? Is she okay?"

Shen Xiuping said, "It's probably low blood sugar. Go get some sugar, go quickly."

Niu Dali and Wang Xin hurried to look for him, but soon turned back.

"No sugar."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and everyone said that they had no candy at home. In the end, Wang Xin took out his treasured White Rabbit milk candy and gave it to Yao Yuling to eat.

It was this action that made Yao Yuling look at Wang Xin differently, especially the sweet taste of White Rabbit, which made her heart beat faster.

But this made Niu Dali jealous. First it was Zhou Chen, and now here comes Wang Xin.

Zhou Chen was fine, as he didn't have that idea. But it seemed that Wang Xin's purpose was not pure, which made him feel tremendous pressure and malice.

Zhou Chen and three other friends rode their bikes to work together, and Wang Xin proudly showed off his bike.

"How about it? It's new. It's Fei Ge brand. I saved up money to buy it myself."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Not bad, I finally don't have to let you take a ride anymore."

Niu Dali did nothing and didn't say a word. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wang Xin took the initiative to talk to him, but was severely scolded by Niu Dali.

"Look, this is unreasonable, Zhou Chen, Xiao Nian, please give us some advice. I was only thinking about saving people at that time."

Zhou Chen and Cai Xiaonian didn't say much and just talked about other things.

"It's almost time, hurry up and don't be late."

"Yes, today is a holiday, so there must be a lot of passengers. Let's go quickly."

…………

In the blink of an eye, March quietly left and April came.

In April, the breeze is gentle, the sky is clear and the air is fresh, the flowers are in full bloom, the grass and trees are vying for beauty, and the earth is thriving.

More than a month has passed since Ma Kui and Wang Xin arrived at the train on the Ningha Line. Ma Kui is a model worker. Under his leadership, his apprentice Wang Xin naturally did not want to lag behind and also became a model worker.

With these two model-working colleagues, Zhou Chen felt much more relaxed than before. Not only him, Yu Xingguo also felt the same way.

Zhou Chen was fine, but Yu Xingguo was still a little uncomfortable for a while. He couldn't sit still and was looking for work everywhere. Instead, Zhou Chen became the most idle one.

However, neither Ma Kui, Wang Xin, nor Yu Xingguo had any objection to this, because Zhou Chen had taken care of all the paperwork for them. They just had to move forward, and Zhou Chen would summarize and organize the subsequent matters.

So after more than a month, their class has reached a tacit understanding and each of them is doing what they are good at.

After dealing with a fight, Zhou Chen handed the notebook to Ma Kui and asked him to take a look at it.

Ma Kui looked at the transcript and said with emotion: "Xiao Zhou, your handwriting is really good. I think you can definitely go to college. With your intelligence, being a train policeman is really a waste of your talent."

It’s not that he thinks the job of a flight attendant is not good, he is a flight attendant himself, but after spending some time together, he has come to understand Zhou Chen’s abilities.

Zhou Chen is young, but he is much better than the old hand in handling things and doing work. Not to mention his knowledge and calculation. After all, he has lived for forty years, but he has never seen anyone who is better at calculation than Zhou Chen.

"Forget about the college entrance exam. I went to the police academy after graduating from junior high school. It was okay last year, but forget it this year."

Zhou Chen had no idea about taking the college entrance examination. He had no idea how many times he had been to college and he really didn't have the heart to do so.

"That's a pity. I heard that Captain Hu intends to recommend you to the Public Security University. Can you consider it?"

"It was just a joke from Captain Hu."

Ma Kui said, "Compared to you, Wang Xin, that brat, makes me angry just by looking at him."

Zhou Chen advised: "Wang Xin is actually quite smart, and you have taught him well, Brother Ma. He will definitely have a bright future."

"He's capable? Humph."

Ma Kui usually treats people normally, but as soon as Wang Xin is involved, his attitude changes 180 degrees.

"I think I heard someone talking about me?"

Wang Xin walked into the dining car carrying a lunch box and looked at Zhou Chen and Ma Kui with confusion.

Ma Kui scolded him angrily: "No one is talking to you, eat quickly and then go to work."
