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

Chapter 769

For rural areas, September is also the busy season for farming, but all diligent farmers will get up early to work hard in the fields, but for lazy people, it doesn't matter what month or day it is.

Chen Jinshui and his wife had already gone to work in the fields before dawn. When Zhou Chen came to the main room, he saw Qiaogu bring the buns to the table.

Although Qiaogu is only 14 years old, she is proficient in housework, washing and cooking, sweeping the floor and tidying up the room, even farm work.

However, Chen Jinshui didn't have patriarchal thoughts, so he was very kind to Qiaogu, the only daughter, and rarely let Qiaogu go with them to the busy farming.

Not only Qiaogu, even Zhou Chen, who has been here for two years, rarely goes to the fields to do farming work.

In the original memory, the original body still respected and trusted this uncle very much. Except for Chen Jinshui's temper and being talkative at home, he still treated them very well. Watching them eat can be regarded as a qualified good elder.

When Zhou Chen was watching TV, he actually had opinions on Chen Jinshui, but TV dramas are TV dramas after all, and now he has personally experienced that Chen Jinshui is not as unbearable as shown in the TV dramas.

Of course, it's also possible that Chen Jinshui didn't lose his temper and show his unbearable side because nothing happened that touched his interests.

Regarding Chen Jinshui's question, Zhou Chen felt that it was normal. He had lived for hundreds of years, and he had never seen any kind of person. He knew very well that human nature is contradictory.

Unless it is the kind of person who is inherently evil, the human nature of a normal person is good and evil. No matter how great a saint is, he will also have an evil side, let alone an ordinary person.

"Brother, you drink porridge."

Qiaogu put a bowl of thick stick noodle porridge in front of Zhou Chen, and handed Zhou Chen another steamed bun.

Zhou Chen smiled and touched Qiaogu's head. In his eyes, 14-year-old Qiaogu was just a child. In this era, if 30 years later, a girl like Qiaogu would still be treated by her parents. Hold it in the palm of your hand.

This little girl is really diligent and has a docile personality. Even though she is uneducated, she is absolutely prosperous. Whoever gets married doesn't have to worry about her family.

It's a pity that in the plot, she married that scumbag Chen Daguang, which made her suffer alone.

"Brother, don't touch my head, your hair is messed up by you."

"I didn't do it and I didn't see how neat your hair is."

Zhou Chen joked with a smile, then took a sip of stick noodle porridge, um, the taste is not very good, but thinking of this age, it is not bad to have stick noodle porridge.

"Uncle, are they coming back for lunch?"

Qiaogu sat down next to Zhou Chen, also drinking porridge, heard Zhou Chen's question, and replied: "No, they will come back at night, my dad let us eat at noon, I made an agreement with Daguang, wait I will go out to catch fish, bring some steamed buns, and eat some if I’m hungry.”

Zhou Chen nodded, not surprisingly, it was like this during the busy farming season, sometimes from morning to night, there was no time to eat.

"Then you will prepare some seasoning later, brother catch more fish today, and make grilled fish for you."

"Brother, you also know how to cook grilled fish? Why haven't you heard of it before?" Qiaogu looked curious.

Zhou Chen has lived in their house for two years, and she knows this cousin quite well. She is not lazy, but she is definitely not diligent either.

According to her father, Zhou Chen grew up in the city and never worked in the countryside, so it took time to get used to it.

So when she heard Zhou Chen say that she could grill fish, she didn't believe it.

Zhou Chen said: "I learned it secretly, you will know when the time comes, so hurry up and eat."

Qiao Gu was pure-hearted, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"Well, brother, eat quickly too, we'll leave later."

It didn't take long for the two of them to finish their meal. After Qiaogu prepared the food, they went out together.

As soon as he walked out of the door, a chubby boy, in the grade of fifteen or sixteen, came up to him, with a strong figure and a round face that looked naive.

"Daguang." Qiaogu happily greeted Little Pangdun.

When Chen Daguang saw Qiao Gu, his eyes were shining, and he ran over excitedly: "Qiao Gu."

Then he called out to Zhou Chen: "Brother Zhou Chen."

Zhou Chen nodded at him. In fact, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, but because Chen Daguang often came to play with Qiao Gu, they became acquainted.

At this time, Chen Daguang looked honest and honest, and no one would have guessed that he would become that kind of ungrateful villain who just wanted to take shortcuts.

"Let's go."

The three of them walked together, and soon left Chenjiacun. Under the leadership of Chen Daguang, they walked for nearly an hour before they came to a big river.

Chen Daguang pointed to the river: "This is the place. I heard that there are a lot of fish here."

Zhou Chen looked around, it wasn't a reservoir, it was just a river.

"Is it contracted here? Will anyone take care of catching fish here?"

He didn't want to start a dispute over catching a few fish. Although the folk customs were simple at this time, accidents were easy to happen in remote areas. After all, the law and order was not very good in this era, and people in the place would form a group.

Chen Daguang said indifferently: "Whatever, anyway, I see that many people are catching fish here and it's fine, but here you can swim and take a bath, Qiaogu, don't go down the river, it's by the river, I'm now Go down and have a look."

As he said that, he walked to the side, took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts, and plunged into the river with a slam.

The guy is very violent.

Zhou Chen was very surprised. A few seconds later, Chen Daguang's head came out of the water, and he shouted at Zhou Chen: "Brother Zhou Chen, there are many fish in the river, do you want to come down too?"

Looking at the somewhat turbid river water, Zhou Chen shook his head decisively. Although he can swim, a gentleman cannot stand under a dangerous wall.

His main task in this world is to survive for at least 40 years, and he cannot leave until the task is completed.

Even though his physical fitness is amazing, the river looks quite deep, and he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"Brother, if you want to go down, go down, don't worry about me." Qiao Gu said.

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "I won't go down anymore, you wait here, I'll find a tool to catch fish."

He walked around the river. The river was indeed not small, and Zhou Chen was also full of trees. Soon he found a branch more than two meters long. He sharpened one end and went to the river to start fishing.

Relying on a branch to catch fish seems unreliable, but he is now very physically fit, both in terms of strength and agility, and if he moves fast enough, he still has a great chance of stabbing the fish.

More than half an hour later, Chen Daguang looked at the two fish in his hand, and then at Zhou Chen, who had already grilled the fish again, with a suspicious expression on his face.

It took him a lot of effort in the river to catch two fish weighing more than a catty. As a result, Zhou Chen caught seven or eight fish just with branches.

Is it because the fish in the river are too easy to catch, or is there really something to say about stickfish?
Originally, he wanted to bring Qiaogu here to show off his abilities, but now he still has such thoughts, he was completely outmatched by Zhou Chen.

If he had known that when he came today, he would have brought a fishing net. If he had brought a fishing net, he would have caught more than Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen and Chen Qiaogu didn't know Chen Daguang's complicated psychology at this time, they were sitting by the fire grilling fish.

Qiaogu was full of admiration and excitement. Today, her cousin really taught her a lot. She can actually catch fish with a branch. It's amazing.

Two fish were being handcuffed on the fire, and she had already given Zhou Chen the salt and other seasonings.

The few seasonings made Zhou Chen frown secretly. This place is really poor. Even Chen Jinshui, who is the head of a village, doesn't have much in stock at home.

"You can eat it later, but the taste of grilled fish in this way is not much better."

Zhou Chen has never experienced grilling fish in this way a few times, and the taste is definitely not as good as cooking it in a pot, but in this age when there is nothing to eat, it is good to have something to eat.

Chen Qiaogu saw how Zhou Chen handled the fish from the beginning to the end. She felt that Zhou Chen had more experience in killing fish than her, and his handling was cleaner than her.

She usually cooks for Zhou Chen at home, but this is the first time she didn't take part in the whole process, Zhou Chen grilled fish for her.

The three gathered around the fire, and the grilled fish with seasoning exuded the smell of meat, making Chen Daguang and Qiaogu salivate.

After a long while, Zhou Chen said: "You can eat, one for each of you."

Chen Daguang and Qiaogu couldn't wait to take the grilled fish handed over by Zhou Chen, and then ate it with big mouthfuls.

Zhou Chen also picked up a fish and took a bite. The fish was cooked, but the taste was really average, and it was ready to eat.

After eating the fish, the three of them went to other places to play, and they didn't go home until the evening.

After a day of getting along, Zhou Chen changed his opinion of Chen Daguang a little bit. This kid may be young, although he is a little slippery, but his nature is not bad.

On the way back, he was still thinking about whether to change Chen Daguang's future in the future.

When Zhou Chen and Qiaogu returned home, Chen Jinshui and his wife hadn't come back yet. After Qiaogu returned home, he started to boil water and cook. It wasn't until it was completely dark that Chen Jinshui and his wife returned home.

"Dad, Mom, you are back, I fetched water for you, you should wash up quickly."

Zhou Chen and Qiaogu helped Chen Jinshui and his wife get tools, and Qiaogu even pulled them to the basin where the water had already been filled.

The ancestral survival method of Chenjia Village is to exchange chicken feathers for sugar, but these days, trading chicken feathers for sugar is a kind of speculation. They were arrested at the beginning. Since then, no one in Chenjia Village has gone out to do the business of exchanging chicken feathers for sugar. , the villagers basically farm at home or do odd jobs.

Without the business of exchanging chicken feathers for sugar, life in Chenjia Village is naturally very difficult. Those with a lot of fields are fine, but those with few fields really have problems eating.

Poverty has become the mainstream of the country in this era. Except for a few places, most other places are very poor.

At the dinner table, Chen Jinshui and his wife were hungry after a busy day. They ate big mouthfuls, eating more than half of it in a few minutes, and then slowed down.

Chen Jinshui took out the dry tobacco and smoked it. In the smog, he looked at Zhou Chen.

"Xiao Chen, you will be born next year, and you can come out to work. If it weren't for the crackdown on speculation now, I really want to pass on the craft of exchanging chicken feathers for sugar to you."

He has only had one daughter in his life. Although he is not so patriarchal, in his heart, boys and girls are still different.

You can count on boys to inherit the family, but don't expect girls to inherit the family, unless you recruit a son-in-law.

Zhou Chen is his nephew. Although he didn't expect Zhou Chen to take care of him in the old age, he also hoped that Zhou Chen would be successful. After all, he was the child of his biological sister.

"What kind of work do you want to do? If you want to farm, I can find a way to get you a few acres of land. You can't make money by farming, but as long as you work hard, you won't starve to death; but if you want to do other things, you can also do it with me." Let me tell you, my uncle doesn't have any great skills, but he can give you advice."

If Zhou Chen's parents were still there, he wouldn't have to worry about him as an uncle, but now that Zhou Chen's parents were gone and he was kicked out by his elder brother and sister-in-law, as an uncle, he naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

He can even pick up an orphan like Chen Jianghe from the snow and raise him, let alone a nephew like Zhou Chen who is related by blood.

Zhou Chen didn't think about it, and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Uncle, I want to go to university."

"what?"

The three members of Chen Jinshui's family were stunned, and Chen Qiaogu exclaimed in disbelief, "Brother, what are you talking about, going to college?"

Chen Jinshui and his wife looked at each other even more.

"Xiaochen, why do you have such an idea, isn't it that you can't go to university now?"

Chen Jinshui also found it unbelievable, but after all he has some knowledge and knows that he can't take the college entrance examination now.

Zhou Chen said: "I heard the news that the college entrance examination may be resumed at the end of this year. There are still three months left. I want to try it."

Chen Jinshui's wife, Chen Erli, asked suspiciously: "Where did you hear the news that even if you can pass the university entrance exam, didn't you just graduate from junior high school? Can you pass the exam?"

"If the college entrance examination resumes, the first college entrance examination will definitely not be difficult. Although I graduated from junior high school, I have read the books in high school. If I study now, I may not be able to enter the university." Zhou Chen said in a leisurely manner.

Chen Jinshui pondered for a moment, then asked, "If the college entrance examination resumes, are you really sure?"

Zhou Chen said confidently: "I dare not say [-]%, but give me a few months of study time, as long as the college entrance examination resumes, I am [-]% to [-]% sure."

Chen Jinshui gritted his teeth and said, "Then learn. If you can enter the university, you will be honored and have a bright future. It is much better than spending your whole life farming in the countryside. Xiaochen, I support you. The rest of the time, until the college entrance examination resumes, You just study hard at home, and you don’t need to do other things.”

Zhou Chen waited in awe, this cheap uncle has courage.

When he didn't know the specific situation of the college entrance examination, he actually made this decision based on a few words he said. Most people really don't have his courage.

Chen Erli had no objection at all. In this family, Chen Jinshui was the head of the family, and he kept his promises. No matter what happened, Chen Jinshui did what he said, as long as she followed orders and did things.

"Thank you uncle, don't worry, when the college entrance examination resumes, I will definitely be admitted to university."

With Chen Jinshui's support, Zhou Chen didn't say anything else, but made a solemn promise.

Chen Jinshui said: "If you can enter the university, our family will depend on you in the future."

Zhou Chen said: "I will, uncle."

Chen Jinshui showed a gratified smile. Their Chenjia Village is very remote, and the news is not well-informed. He doesn't know if what Zhou Chen said is true, but he thinks that Zhou Chen wants to go to university because he has ideals and ambitions, so he affirms will support.

If Zhou Chen can really be admitted to the university, it will be a great blessing for Chenjiacun. No one else will tell, their family will definitely be able to take advantage of it in the future.

Chen Qiaogu raised her hand even more, and said softly, "Brother, I also believe in you. I will definitely be admitted to university. By then, I will have a brother who is a college student."

Feeling this family affection, the smile on Zhou Chen's face became even brighter. From this brief contact, he could feel that the family of three really cared about him, at least it was countless times stronger than his elder brother.

Ever since Chen Jinshui agreed to let Zhou Chen study, in the days that followed, he never asked Zhou Chen to do anything, and Zhou Chen looked at the books he brought here. They were all junior high school books. In fact, he was just pretending .

It wasn't until more than a month later, when it was almost November, that the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination finally reached them.

Chen Jinshui was shocked when he heard the news. It seems that what his nephew Zhou Chen said was true, the college entrance examination is really going to resume.

Thinking of Zhou Chen who was about to take the college entrance examination, Chen Jinshui was full of anticipation, so he went out of his way to borrow books.

Although Zhou Chen felt that he could be admitted to university even if he didn't review or read books, but seeing Chen Jinshui doing this, he didn't stop him.

On this day, Chen Jinshui came back happily, and said to Zhou Chen: "Xiao Chen, I have already used our relationship with the production team to recommend you to take the college entrance examination. The time is limited. You are now in charge of studying, and you are not required to do anything else. Tube."

"Thank you uncle."

"Thank you, as long as you can be admitted to the university, I will be satisfied and worthy of your dead parents."

Reviewing became Zhou Chen's next main task, and Qiao Gu served Zhou Chen around the clock, so she seldom went out to play with Chen Daguang.

…………

In the blink of an eye, it was December of 77. All provinces across the country had started the college entrance examination one after another, and Zhejiang Province, where Zhou Chen was located, was about to start the college entrance examination.

On the day of the college entrance examination, Chen Jinshui drove the car himself, and together with Chen Jintu from the same village, sent Zhou Chen to the examination room early.

"Uncle, Uncle Jintu, you guys go back, don't wait for me, I'll go back by myself after the exam."

Outside the examination room, Zhou Chen said to Chen Jinshui and Chen Jintu who sent him here.

Chen Jinshui waved his hand and said: "No, you go to the exam first, we will go back together after you finish the exam."

Chen Jintu also said: "Yeah, running back and forth is too troublesome, we'd better wait for you to go back together."

Chen Jintu is Chen Daguang's father and Chen Jinshui's loyal follower.

Zhou Chen tried a few more words of persuasion, but seeing that the persuasion didn't work, he gave up. Seeing that the time was up, he said goodbye to them and walked into the examination room.

"Xiaochen, don't be nervous, take the test hard."

As soon as Zhou Chen left, Chen Jintu couldn't help asking: "Brother Jinshui, I don't know what you're thinking, how did you let him take the college entrance examination, can he pass?"

Chen Jinshui glared at him angrily: "Don't let Zhou Chen take the exam, so let your son Daguang take the exam? Is he the material?"

He still has some expectations for Zhou Chen to take the test, but doesn't he know about other eligible young people in the village?One match and the other are useless.

Especially Chen Daguang, he has always disliked him, because this kid always drives Qiaogu crazy, and he has evil intentions, how could he have no objection.

Chen Jintu, who was insulted, pursed his lips and dared not say anything. Chen Jinshui was not only the village head of Chenjia Village, but also the leader of their generation of brothers.

To put it bluntly, if Chen Jinshui said a word, everyone in Chenjia Village, old and young, would respond. He was the head of the village, similar to the head of the patriarch.

"Brother Jinshui, I just asked casually, why are you in a hurry." Chen Jintu shrank his neck.

Chen Jinshui snorted coldly: "Let's go, let's go to the county seat."

The college entrance examination is really a very simple matter for Zhou Chen. Although he has never taken the Zhejiang Province college entrance examination in 77, it is really easy to cope with the college entrance examination with the knowledge he has mastered.

A few days passed quickly. After the college entrance examination, the results would not come out at least half a month later, so Zhou Chen was not in a hurry. Anyway, he had filled out his volunteers and passed the exam. All he had to do next was to wait for the news.

He was not in a hurry, but the three members of Chen Jinshui's family were all in a hurry. Even though Zhou Chen assured them that the test papers were easy this time and they would definitely be admitted to university, they were still anxious before the dust settled.

Finally, the day came when the results of the college entrance examination came out. When Chen Jinshui learned that Zhou Chen had been admitted to Peking University as the number one scholar in the province, he was stunned.

On the day when the results came out, Zhou Chen's name resounded throughout Zhejiang Province, especially in Yiwu, causing an uproar.

Followed by countless city leaders, county leaders, reporters, etc., looking for Zhou Chen everywhere.

When they found Zhou Chen's elder brother's house, the eldest brother Zhou Yong and his sister-in-law were also dumbfounded when they learned that they were looking for Zhou Chen, and that Zhou Chen had been admitted to Peking University as the number one student in the college entrance examination.

At this moment, they regretted driving Zhou Chen away very much. If they knew that Zhou Chen still had this ability, how could they drive Zhou Chen away.

Thinking that Zhou Chen was admitted to Peking University and would definitely be a national cadre after graduation, they regretted it. Such a good opportunity to make a fortune slipped from their hands.

However, these two people were also thick-skinned. Seeing the benefits, they immediately wanted to mend their relationship with Zhou Chen, and brought the leading reporters who came to find Zhou Chen to Chenjiacun.

The remote and backward Chenjia Village was extremely lively on this day. Everyone knew that the nephew of the village head, Chen Jinshui's family, became the number one student in the college entrance examination and was admitted to the best university in the country.

A college student, let alone the number one scholar in the province, not only in the surrounding villages, but even in the whole of Yiwu, there has never been such a talent.

Although Zhou Chen's surname is not Chen, at this moment, he seems to be the most beautiful boy in Chenjia Village.

Before the celebration in Chenjiacun was over, Zhou Yong brought a large group of people to the gate of Chen Jinshui's house. There was a lot of noise along the way.
