The world of film and television starts from a young age

Chapter 573 The follow-up to the loan, 1976, the Zhou family who is about to be reunited
Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao came here today for two purposes, one is to see Zheng Juan and the child, and the other is the main purpose, which is for the house.

The condition of Qiao Chunyan's family is actually not much different from that of Zhou's family. The houses are two and a half rooms.

But Cao Debao's family situation was much worse. He was squeezed into a room with his parents, so when they got married, Qiao Chunyan didn't want anything. Instead, Cao Debao lived with Qiao Chunyan at Qiao's house.

In this day and age, it is tantamount to being a door-to-door son-in-law.

When they first got married, Cao Debao didn't say anything, but after getting married, he felt unbalanced. He felt that he was not the son-in-law who came to visit. He wanted to leave Qiao's house, but he didn't have the ability, so he could only live in Qiao's house "wronged".

Not long ago, he heard that Xiao Guoqing and his wife lived in the Zhou family's house and moved out after a year, which immediately made him think.

Since Xiao Guoqing can borrow a house from Zhou Chen, can they also borrow a house from Zhou Chen?

So he urged Qiao Chunyan to borrow a house from Zhou Chen.

Qiao Chunyan didn't want to come at first, but Cao Debao was really good at talking and coaxing people, so he convinced Qiao Chunyan with a few words.

Although they live at home, living with their parents is not as comfortable as living by themselves. The house is so big. If they can move into Zhou's house, then she and Cao Debao will be much more free.

Therefore, Qiao Chunyan was moved, but she was smarter than Cao Debao, knowing that it would be difficult to talk to Zhou Chen if she rashly went to find Zhou Chen, so she kept waiting.

Finally, after knowing that Zheng Juan had given birth to a boy, she took action.

She felt that Zhou Chen must be in a very good mood after having a son. She took this time to raise this matter, and maybe Zhou Chen would agree as soon as he was happy.

"Brother, you know my dad, smoking and drinking are all things, I heard people say that smoking and drinking have an impact on children, especially newborn babies, so I think that after I give birth, the most It's better not to live with my dad; brother, I want to ask you, can you lend us your house for a while?"

Zhou Chen looked at Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao with a half-smile, and asked, "You guys also want to borrow a house?"

Cao Debao was a little embarrassed, but Qiao Chunyan said with a smile: "Yes, brother, we also want to be good for the children, so please help."

Zhou Chen asked calmly: "Oh, how long do you want to stay?"

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, both Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao's eyes lit up. Cao Debao wanted to speak immediately, but Qiao Chunyan stared back.

Qiao Chunyan asked tentatively: "Brother, we want to go back to live when the child is a little older, one year, what do you think?"

"One year?"

Zhou Chen sighed in his heart, Qiao Chunyan really dared to say that it was a year from the moment he opened his mouth.

"Chunyan, if you want to say ten days and a half months, I can make the decision to lend you a house, but if you want to live for a year, I can't make the decision; you also know that the house at home was built by my father. I want to live during the National Day, and I asked my dad before I agreed to let him live. You have to live for a year now, or that sentence, you have to ask my parents."

Qiao Chunyan said: "Is it necessary? Brother, you can just make the decision."

Zhou Chen said: "I don't have that much power. This house belongs to my father, and I'm not the eldest son of the family. In the future, this house will definitely be left to my elder brother. Do you think I have the right to dispose of it? If I really have this power, and I must lend it to you, but unfortunately, I don't have this power."

Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao looked at each other, and Qiao Chunyan asked, "Why don't you ask your godmother?"

Zhou Chen said directly: "It's useless to ask her, our family's affairs have always been decided by my father."

Cao Debao suddenly said: "Bingkun, how about we pay the rent instead of living in your house for nothing?"

Qiao Chunyan agreed: "Yes, brother, we can pay the rent, and we will treat your house as if it were our own. You don't have to worry about that."

Zhou Chen's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "If you say so, then I can tell you with certainty that the house will not be rented to you."

"Why?" Cao Debao couldn't understand.

Zhou Chen said indifferently: "If you are talking about borrowing, my dad may still agree, but if you are talking about renting, my dad will definitely not agree. He said this before."

He never thought of renting out the Zhou family's old house. If he took money from Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao, he might say something about him behind his back based on their personalities, and he might even not care about their house at all. .

On the contrary, if they don't charge money, but just borrow, they will definitely have scruples, and even if they accidentally damage the house, they will find a way to repair it.

"Then, shall we wait for godfather's reply?" Qiao Chunyan asked tentatively.

Zhou Chen could only nod his head. This kind of thing happened every day. He was already very bored, and he just wanted to get rid of Cao Debao and Qiao Chunyan as soon as possible.

If it wasn't for worrying that his mother Li Suhua would be sad, he would have thought of rejecting Qiao Chunyan directly, but after thinking about it, he held back. After all, she has been a neighbor for many years, and Chunyan's mother did take care of Li Suhua a lot in the past, so there is no need to tear her up just because of this. fall out.

At the same time, Chunyan's mother who was in the room also mentioned the matter of the house to Li Suhua.

Knowing that Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao wanted to borrow a house, Li Suhua was not very willing. Last time Xiao Guoqing borrowed a house, she was actually not very willing either.

It's not that she is stingy, but that the house is of great significance to their family, and she also thought that if she was not used to staying with her youngest son, she would go back to live in Guangxi for a few days.

But if she even borrowed the house, she would not be able to go back even if she wanted to.

With the previous experience, although Li Suhua didn't agree, she didn't refuse either. She told Zhou Chen the same reason and temporarily rejected Chunyan's mother.

Winter goes to spring, spring goes to winter...

Time flies, and it is the eve of the Spring Festival in 1976.

"Ruirui, come, come to mom."

In the small courtyard in front of Zhou's house, Zheng Juan pointed to the snowman Zhou Chen had made, and waved vigorously to Zhou Rui who was standing at the door.

Today's Zhou Rui is twenty months old, and he will be three years old during the Chinese New Year. He is less than one meter tall, wearing a padded jacket, just like a little penguin, round and very cute.

Zhou Rui's appearance was more like Zheng Juan's, she was more delicate, and her skin was white and tender, like a small porcelain doll, but it was a bit cold, and her face turned red from the cold.

Hearing her mother's call, Zhou Rui stepped out of the threshold cautiously, stepped on the snow, slowly walked towards Zheng Juan step by step, and when she was almost in front of Zheng Juan, she rushed over, and Zheng Juan happened to slap her Take him in your arms.

"You child, be careful, come and see the snowman Dad made, isn't it good?"

After more than a year, Zheng Juan has recovered from the childbirth that year, her figure has become slimmer, her person has become much more mature, and she looks more attractive.

"Good-looking, good-looking."

Zhou Rui clapped his hands and shouted happily.

Although Zhou Rui is less than two years old, Zhou Chen, who has rich parenting experience, has been teaching since he was very young, so Zhou Rui has been able to speak a few sentences and understand a lot in twenty months. talk.

Looking at his wife and children, Zhou Chen was very satisfied. In this world, he can be said to be very relaxed, reading and writing every day to accompany his wife and children, very leisurely.

In the past year or so, many things have happened, both good and bad.

Before Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao came to borrow a house, Zhou Zhigang finally agreed, but he also said that they would be allowed to live for half a year at most.

However, Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao naturally agreed. After moving in, they lived there for half a year, and then dragged their feet for a month before moving out.

It was because Li Suhua said that he would go back to live for a few days, so they had to move out. Later, Li Suhua did go back to live for two months, and before the Chinese New Year, he returned to Zhou Chen's place to help Zheng Juan take care of the children.

During the Spring Festival of 75, Qiao Chunyan and Xiao Guoqing came to the house at the same time, wanting to borrow a house temporarily, because both of them have two older sisters, and they have to come back for the New Year.

Zhou Chen was very annoyed that the two families came together to borrow a house. This time, he didn't let go, and directly called the two families together, and rejected them face to face.

For this reason, the scene at that time was a bit ugly. Xiao Guoqing was fine, but Wu Qian, Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao all had ugly faces.

Wu Qian and Xiao Guoqing watched, but Qiao Chunyan's words were a bit aggressive at the time, and she even wanted to intercede with Li Suhua, but Zhou Chen scolded her, and Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao slammed the door out in anger.

That is, after that time, in the following year, neither Qiao Chunyan nor Cao Debao visited the door again, let alone contacted Zhou Chen.

In this situation, Zhou Chen not only didn't care about it, but he felt clean. He didn't want to have a deep friendship with them. Now that they can quit despite difficulties, that would be the best.

As for Xiao Guoqing, he was not unfamiliar with him, but Wu Qian was a little unhappy every time she saw him, but Zhou Chen didn't bother to talk to her.

If there is a bad thing to say, it is that Zheng Juan's mother, Aunt Zheng, didn't make it through last summer and died of old age.

However, Mrs. Zheng left relatively peacefully. Her daughter married a good family, and her son-in-law promised her that she would take good care of her daughter and son in the future.

Although Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming are not her own children, they are closer to her than her own, so she has no regrets when she sees that they are relying on them.

Aunt Zheng's funeral was organized by Zhou Chen. During that time, Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming cried heart-rendingly, and they were depressed for a while. Fortunately, Zhou Chen was there to comfort them, and their son Zhou Rui , Zheng Juan became strong and recovered quickly.

After Aunt Zheng left, Zheng Juan was worried about Zheng Guangming, so Zhou Chen followed her wishes and took Guangming over. Now he has been living with their family for half a year.

Although Guangming couldn't see clearly, he was a very sensible child and got along well with Li Suhua. He often played with Zhou Rui with him.

Just last year, Sun Chanchao, who was one of the children of the optical film, also got married. The married person was introduced by Qiao Chunyan. He also worked in the public bathing pool and was Qiao Chunyan's apprentice, Yu Hong.

On the contrary, Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian are not doing well, not only in life, but also in terms of children. The two of them don't know what's going on. They have been married for several years, but they are not pregnant until now. They don't know what happened behind the scenes. How many times has it been discussed.

Several times when Xiao Guoqing drank with Zhou Chen, he said that he was aggrieved and was gossiped behind his back. He also said that Wu Qian asked him to go to the hospital for an examination. For this matter, the couple did a lot of work.

Regarding Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian's children, even Zhou Chen, who had watched TV dramas, didn't know much about them.

It was at the end of the plot that their son was mentioned as if he had become an executive in the sea and had a good time in Pengcheng. In the end, the old couple planned to go to Pengcheng to live with their son.

As for their son's name, how old it was, and when it was born, Zhou Chen really didn't know.

The family of three played in the snow for a while, and Zhou Rui was sweating. Zheng Juan took him into the house for fear that he would get sick.

"Bingkun, go and see Guangming and see if he's better." Zheng Juan said to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen said, "I'll go and have a look."

When I came to Guangming's room, I saw Guangming lying on the bed. Hearing Guangming's voice, he immediately sat up and asked, "Is it brother-in-law?"

"Well, it's me, Guangming, how do you feel now, is it better?"

Sitting by the bed, Zhou Chen asked with concern, Zheng Guangming took Zhou Rui outside to play two days ago, got a little cold, caught a cold, and still had a fever these two days.

Guangming smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, the medicine you gave me is really effective. I feel much more comfortable now, I don't feel hot anymore, and I still sweat a little. I think I'm almost recovered."

Zhou Chen touched Guangming's forehead and found that his body temperature was indeed normal. He then touched his heart and palms. It was a little hot, but it was not a big problem.

"It's really improved a lot. Take another day off today, and you'll be able to recover tomorrow. Let your sister make some delicious supplements for you tomorrow."

"No need, brother-in-law, I'm in good health, let's make up for Ruirui."

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Don't be polite to brother-in-law, that kid Ruirui raised like a calf, and the one who needs to make up now is you. When you recover, in a few years, I will take you to the capital for treatment." Eyes, the capital is not good, brother-in-law will take you abroad, and your eyes will be cured."

Zheng Guangming quickly said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry about me. I haven't seen you for so many years. Even if I don't see you again, I'm fine. You don't have to do so much for me."

"Silly boy, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Chen touched Zheng Guangming's forehead. Although Guangming has become an uncle, he is actually only 13 years old this year. He is still a child. How could he not be curious about this world, but he just doesn't want to cause trouble for them.

"You, you don't have to think so much. My brother-in-law will arrange everything. Whatever my brother-in-law asks you to do, you can do it, you know?"

"Oh."

Zheng Guangming responded. He has lived with Zhou Chen for so long, and he also knows Zhou Chen's character.

Let Guangming continue to sleep, Zhou Chen came to the kitchen, Li Suhua was making cakes, Zheng Juan was helping, and Zhou Rui was making trouble.

"Mom, it's still more than a month before Chinese New Year. Is it too early for you to start making cakes?"

"Not early, not early."

Li Suhua's face was full of joy, and she was very happy: "This year your father, your elder brother and your sister will all come back. Since 69, your father went to the mountain city, your elder brother went to the Corps, and your sister went to Guizhou. This year has been seven years. , can finally be reunited together, I have to prepare well."

Listening to Li Suhua's words, Zhou Chen knew the pain in the old lady's heart. Her husband, eldest son and daughter hadn't seen each other for seven years, so she didn't know how much she thought about it.

There is still more than a month before we can meet each other. The excitement makes her unable to relax for a moment. She just wants to do something for them and for the family.

"Okay, then you are ready. If you need anything else, just tell me and I will buy it. If you can't buy it, I will ask someone to buy it."

Li Suhua glared at him, and scolded with a smile: "I know you have the ability, let's see if you can, Kun'er, I will warn you in advance, your father is back, you can't make trouble with him, if he scolds you, beat you If you hit it twice, let him scold you, let him hit you, don't talk back, do you hear me?"

Zhou Chen looked helpless: "Just do as you say, even if I am beaten to death, I will never fight back."

"You child, what are you talking about? Ruirui is still here, can you act like a father?"

Zhou Chen laughed loudly, walked up to Zhou Rui, and hugged him up: "Go, Rui Rui, Dad will take you to the room and tell you a story."

"Daddy is awesome, Daddy, I want to hear Bears, I want to hear Bear Big Bear Two."

"Okay, Dad will tell you."

Haunted Bear is a cartoon decades later, but Zhou Chen turned it into a story and told it to his son. Unexpectedly, Zhou Rui still likes to listen to this story.

A few days later, a major event happened suddenly, and the whole country fell into mourning.

It was also the first time for Zhou Chen to experience such a moment, but he was also an adult. He knew that this time was special, and he was sad, but he didn't show it too much, and he still went to and from get off work normally every day.

One day, Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang came to invite him to visit Qu Shuji's house together. He thought about it and agreed.

Over the past few years, although he didn't have much contact with Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen, they got along very well with each other. However, after Ma Shouchang resumed work, he became much busier and rarely had time to talk to him. .

But every Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, he will take the initiative to visit, and sometimes stay for dinner, which makes the two who have always spent the festival alone very happy.

Lu Chuan, Tang Xiangyang, and Cao Debao from the soy sauce factory also go to Qu Shuji's house every year. They even invite Zhou Chen to come with them, but Zhou Chen didn't come with them, instead, he staggered the time with them.

His acquaintance with Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen was just pure respect and year-end friendship, he never thought of currying favor with them, nor did he have a desire for utilitarianism, he was completely different from Cao Debao and the others, so naturally he would not be with them.
