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

Chapter 316 Engagement, Dinner, Going to the Bar

After working in the pediatric emergency department for more than ten days, Zhou Chen finally got two days of rest as he wished, and these two days happened to be the day when he got engaged to Zhao Yingnan.

The parents of both parties got together, but there was only one table. There were only three people on Zhou Chen's side, he and his parents, while on Zhao Yingnan's side, there were a little more. There were seven people in total, and there were exactly ten people in total. Just sit down.

Engagement is different from marriage. There is no need to make a big show of it. It is enough for both parties and their parents to arrive. Other relatives can also come if they want to.

But generally speaking, there will not be too many relatives who come, at most there will be some very close relatives.

Zhou Chen and Zhao Yingnan have been talking for nearly six years. The parents of both parties have known about it for a long time, and they have met more than once. This engagement can be said to be a matter of course.

Although they have been talking for many years and are already familiar with each other, Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping are still very polite and have everything they should have. They have given the woman enough respect and made Zhao Yingnan's parents very satisfied.

Especially Zhao Yingnan's grandma kept praising Zhou Chen, saying that her granddaughter was lucky to have found such a good fiancé as Zhou Chen.

This kind of praise made Zhou Chen feel a little embarrassed. Although Grandma Zhao Yingnan was old, she was really good at talking and praising people. She was a very kind and kind old man.

Several female relatives on Zhao Yingnan's side were full of surprise when they saw the diamond ring and bracelet on Zhao Yingnan's hand.

At this time, the country is still a little behind compared to Xiangjiang. These jewelry are all bought in Xiangjiang, and they are all big brands. For women, they are naturally very eye-catching.

Several women kept chatting with Zhao Yingnan about jewelry and interesting stories about Xiangjiang, while the two fathers clinked wine glasses and drank non-stop.

Now that they are engaged, it is natural to discuss the matter of marriage. In the end, the parents of both parties reached a consensus to get married after Zhou Chen and Dr. Zhao Yingnan graduated.

After the dinner, Zhou Chen was pulled aside by Lao Zhao.

"Zhou Chen, let me listen to you kid. My daughter is almost in your hands. If you dare to treat her badly, I will shoot you."

Zhou Zhiming's drinking capacity is not bad, so Lao Zhao, who was drinking with him today, also drank a lot, and warned Zhou Chen drunk.

Zhou Chen naturally answered in the affirmative: "Uncle, don't worry, I promise that Ying Nan will not be wronged, and I will definitely make her live better than others."

Old Zhao: "I hope you will remember what you said."

Although Lao Zhao was a little drunk, he still behaved like a soldier, and left with his family after the work was done.

"Son, take Yingnan for a stroll, and I'll take your dad back to rest."

The restaurant is not far from home, so Zhou Chen is not worried about his mother helping his drunk father back home alone.

"Well, Mom, then you should pay attention."

Although Zhou Zhiming can also drink, he usually drinks at most two or three taels at home, and rarely gets drunk. The reason why he drank so much today is mainly because he is happy.

Zhao Yingnan held Zhou Chen's arm and walked down the street with a happy face.

Today, she was all overjoyed. Getting engaged meant that her relationship with Zhou Chen would take a step forward and move towards a real family. This was something she had always longed for, so of course she was happy.

"Where are we going to play?"

"Where do you want to play?"

The afternoon was very long, so it was impossible for the two of them to wander around the street all the time, and Zhao Yingnan was a rather old-fashioned type, who rarely had entertainment activities, and even if there were, Zhou Chen took her with him. That is to go to class, go to work, and the rest of the time revolves around Zhou Chen.

All in all, Zhao Yingnan is a girl who can't play. There may be few such women in 20 years, but in this era, there are still many women with such personalities.

"Then let's go to the mall. It's getting cold. I'll buy you some clothes."

After living in Yanjing for so many years, he has visited all the places of interest, so Zhao Yingnan felt that as long as he could stay with Zhou Chen, it would be the same wherever he went.

"Okay, you are the biggest today, we will go wherever you say."

There are not many entertainment activities in this era, and Zhao Yingnan doesn't like to go to lively places, and Zhou Chen doesn't force her, she can go wherever she says, there is nothing wrong with it.

The two went to a large shopping mall in Yanjing. They spent a few hours shopping and bought a lot of clothes. Zhou Chen also bought a lot of small gifts for Zhao Yingnan.

In the evening, Zhou Chen called out all the students of the 92-level clinical medicine department. Except for a few people who were not free, there were 17 people in total, and there was another big gathering.

"Everyone first respect Zhou Chen and the squad leader, congratulations to them."

Everyone lifted it up and was thrown a toast to Zhou Chen and the others.

Zhou Chen still said to everyone: "It's the same sentence, we have known each other for so many years, we don't have to pay so much attention, we should eat and drink, we must have fun, don't think about saving money for me."

"Who doesn't know that you, a big local tyrant, can save you money. You think too much."

"Haha, yes, you think too much."

"A big happy event like an engagement is sure to bleed a lot."

…………

Facing everyone's teasing, Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Just say it now, when I marry Yingnan, if the gift money is less, I won't easily bypass you."

"Tsk tsk, I just got engaged, and I already want to get married, and I'm still thinking about gift money. We are all poor doctors, how much money can we have?" Du Zhong had a serious look on his face.

Zhao Yingnan retorted: "They are all excellent Ph.D. students, how could they have no money? I remember it all. If you have one, you can't escape. If the gift money is less, we won't go to your wedding in the future. .”

Qiu Shui asked loudly: "Husband sings, wife follows, squad leader, Zhou Chen, when you get married, shall we give one gift, or two gifts?"

Hopu immediately shouted: "Of course it's one copy. They are a family, so how can they give out two copies."

"Squad leader, look at your picky appearance, can you be a little bit promising?"

"You are promising, you pay two."

"Two copies are two copies, and people can't let people look down on them."

Everyone started to tease each other, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very good.

Qiu Shui also took the opportunity to sit next to Xiao Hong, and said to Xiao Hong with a playful smile: "Xiao Hong, don't be angry, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me, please? Don't ignore me, you see I've been getting angry lately. I lost weight, Xiaohong, please forgive me..."

Xiao Hong had a sullen face at first, but in the end she couldn't stand Qiu Shui's stubborn face, and forgave Qiu Shui.

This scene was seen by Gu Ming at the same table, and his face suddenly darkened a lot. He has liked Xiao Hong for so many years, but in the end he got nothing.

Obviously Qiushui has already done such excessive things, but Xiao Hong still chooses to forgive Qiushui, and is unwilling to give him a chance, which makes him feel disheartened.

It's true that he and Qiushui are brothers, but sometimes I really don't understand, Qiushui is so messed up, why Xiao Hong is still willing to be with him, he is so loyal, why Xiao Hong is not willing to choose him.

The disheartened Gu Ming no longer thought about continuing. He was going to study hard, take his mother's doctoral exam, and leave Renhe Medical College.

"After dinner, do you have any good suggestions?"

Because everyone is a medical student and has already practiced, so they are relatively restrained, did not drink too much alcohol, and their consciousness is still very clear.

So when the dinner was about to end, Zhou Chen asked everyone.

Hopu said loudly: "It's fine to go out to play, but Zhou Chen, you don't need to treat guests. If you want to play some activities that cost money, how about we all raise funds together?"

"I have no opinion."

Immediately someone raised their hands in agreement, and then everyone agreed one after another.

Over the past few years, Zhou Chen also invited everyone to have several meals. Although they also invited them intermittently, it was definitely not as big as others, so although everyone didn't say it, they remembered it in their hearts.

Seeing that everyone had the same opinion, Zhou Chen didn't force it, but said: "Since everyone has said so, then I won't speak too much. I just want to come up with ideas on where to play and what to play next."

The question of what to play stumped everyone.

They are all interns now. They usually have to intern and study in the hospital. Most of the time is covered, and there are very few people who can often go out to play.

All in all, just don't want to play, can't play, can't afford to play, these few situations.

"We have a lot of people, why don't we go to the skating rink?"

A boy suddenly suggested.

Most of the ice skating in this era belonged to the kind of four-wheeled and two-row skates. Although it was just simple skating, it was still very popular at this time. Many young men and women like to go skating in groups.

"I won't go, I don't know how to skate, it's too scary." A girl immediately expressed her opinion.

"I don't want to go either, it's a bit too messy over there, and there are too many of us, it doesn't feel right."

"I think it's pretty good. My skating skills are really good, so I can teach you guys."

"I'm afraid of pain and falling, and I don't want to go."

"What's so scary about skating, you can wear protective gear."

…………

Everyone started a discussion about ice skating. Most of the boys were okay with it, but many girls were reluctant to go.

For girls, skating is considered a more dangerous game.

"Then what are you girls talking about playing?"

"Going to the movies? It doesn't matter how many people there are, and the consumption is still low. The most you can do is buy some food and drink."

"Watching a movie? What's so good about a movie? It's better than ice skating."

"Who said that the previous Titanic was very, very good-looking. If we watch it now, maybe there will be a good movie released."

"Which one of you wants to go? Anyway, I don't want to go."

"I don't want to go either. It's so boring to watch movies. People go to see them in pairs. What kind of movies should I go to as a single?"

"You're right, watching movies is really boring."

There is indeed a huge difference between boys and girls in terms of playing.

The main reason is that there are not many places to play now, and there are even fewer places where men and women can play together, not to mention that there are more than a dozen people at a time, so it must be a large entertainment venue.

Neither side could convince the other, so they fell into a stalemate.

Finally Xiao Hong stood up suddenly, and said to everyone: "How about I tell you a place?"

"Xiao Hong, tell me."

"bar."

"bar?"

When Xiao Hong said that he was going to the bar, many people's faces changed slightly, and then they started discussing.

"A place like a bar is too messy, isn't it good to go there?"

"I also think it's too messy there, and all of them are young people from the society."

"I think it's okay. The bar is not as bad as you think. It's a place to relax."

"Yeah, what age is it, don't be so feudal, okay?"

"Anyway, I agree. Girls from Xiao Hong are not afraid. What are we boys afraid of? It just so happens that I have never been to that kind of place. I can take the opportunity to see it tonight."

Hopu frowned and said, "We are top students of Renhe Medical College and future doctors. Let's not go to places like bars where hooligans hang out?"

For a student like him who came from the countryside, studying hard and working hard is what he has to do. Places like bars are too far away from him.

Qiushui naturally wouldn't tear down his girlfriend's platform. He suggested, "I don't go there often. It's okay to go once in a while. Zhou Chen, Zhao Yingnan, what do you think?"

Ever since, everyone's eyes turned to the two protagonists at today's dinner.

Zhao Yingnan originally wanted to refuse directly, but after a second thought, he asked Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, what do you think of Xiaohong's proposal?"

Zhou Chen said: "According to my opinion, the bar is indeed a bit chaotic, but it's not as chaotic as everyone imagined. Since the country allows it to exist, there is still a certain reason; if you go to play once in a while, it's actually nothing, just What I want to remind everyone is that the consumption in bars is very high, and it is likely that a glass of beer can cost several or ten yuan, so if you go, you must be mentally prepared to bleed.”

Xiao Hong raised her head proudly, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry about that. I know the people in the bar I'm talking about, and I can get a discount then."

Qiu Shui asked in surprise: "Do you still know the people in the bar?"

Xiao Hong gave him a white look, and said, "Can't you? When you made me angry before, I always went to the bar to calm down. After a lot of times, I naturally got to know the people inside."

Being stared at by everyone, Qiu Shui smiled awkwardly. Being exposed by his girlfriend in public is really not a good feeling.

"What do you think?" Zhou Chen asked again.

He actually doesn't have any ill feeling towards going to bars. Although he rarely goes to bars, it's absolutely fine to go to bars once in a while.

Many people regard bars as illegal places, and feel that they are not a good place to hide filth, but objectively speaking, this is not mainly a problem with bars, but a problem with people.

It’s like those Qing bars ten years later, there are quite a lot of them, but in this day and age, Qing bars are hardly seen in China.

Seeing that everyone still couldn't give an answer, Xiao Hong was anxious.

"Hey, let me tell you that all of you are too backward in thinking. I told you to go to the bar, but I didn't ask you to do bad things. Do you know why I went to the bar?"

"Didn't you just say that Qiushui made you angry, so you go to the bar to calm down."

"Ha ha……"

All of a sudden there was a roar of laughter, and Qiu Shui, who was innocently lying on the gun, was hit hard again.

Xiao Hong also couldn't help laughing, and explained: "That's only part of the reason, and the more important reason is indulgence."

"indulgence?"

"That's right, it's indulgence. Think about it, as a doctor, we have to study, see a doctor, and sometimes witness birth, old age, sickness and death. Are we under a lot of pressure? We always feel that something is pressing on our chest, and it's extremely depressing. It's very uncomfortable to want to release but can't, you must feel this way."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they did not refute Xiao Hong's words, the pressure of study, practice, exams, and graduation.

It can be said that they bear too much pressure, and sometimes they are really depressed and out of breath.

But, didn't everyone come here like this?Didn't Renhe's seniors come here in the same way?
"Going to a bar is for indulgence, where no one cares who you are, because everyone is there for indulgence, there, you don't have to worry so much, just release everything you want to release, enjoy yourself Sing and dance, drink as much as you want, play as much as you want."

Seeing Xiao Hong talking, I became excited, as if I had arrived at the bar immersively and started to indulge myself.

Xiao Hong's words are quite contagious. At least some people who said they didn't want to go before have begun to waver and are eager to try.

"Xiao Hong, is the bar really as good as you say? I've heard people say that many punks are there, and it's very dangerous." You Yue said worriedly.

Xiao Hong sneered and said, "What are you afraid of? There are more than a dozen of us, and they are all from the military camp. Soldiers with military ranks, when they meet ordinary gangsters, can they beat our military punches?"

"That's true."

Only then did everyone realize that everyone came out of the military camp, and it seemed that they were really not afraid of punks.

Zhao Yingnan winked at Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen understood what she meant, so he said, "It's everyone's own choice whether to go or not. In this way, if you want to go, you can go together after dinner. If you don't want to Go, go back to rest by yourself after dinner, what do you think?"

"That's fine. Anyway, I'm going to see and see. I've grown up so much, I haven't been to a bar yet." Du Zhong said with great interest.

Gu Xiaoman immediately raised her hand: "Go to Du Zhong, I will go too."

"Add me." Of course Qiu Shui would go.

Gu Ming also shouted: "And me, bars are already everywhere in the United States, it's really nothing to go there."

"I'm not going, I have an early shift tomorrow."

"Forget it, I don't want to go to that kind of place."

…………

Although a few people said they couldn't go, the vast majority said they would.

"Xin Yi, are you going?" Zhou Chen asked Xin Yi.

Zhao Yingnan said worriedly: "Let's forget about Xin Yi, he is still ill."

Xin Yi said, "I haven't been to a bar either, Yaodao, why don't we go and see it with everyone?"

"But your body?" Yang Yue asked worriedly.

Xin Yi smiled and said: "I'm fine, I'm already stable, as long as I don't do strenuous activities or drink alcohol, I'm sure I'll be fine."

Zhou Chen also said: "Yeah, we just don't let him drink. Besides, he has been in the hospital for so long, so he should go out for activities."

Qiu Shui and others also agreed: "Yes, Xin Yi, you haven't been active with all of us for a long time, go out and have fun together, it's okay."

Xin Yi looked at Yang Yue hopefully: "Demon Saber."

Yang Yue looked at Xin Yi's expectant eyes, but finally couldn't bear it, and nodded in agreement.

"Then go, but I will watch you, don't try to mess around."

"Great."

Soon the dinner was over, except for the three who didn't go, a group of fourteen people headed towards the bar that Xiao Hong mentioned.
