A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1220: The -year-old factory director, Zhou Rong wrote again! (Please subscribe!)

After experiencing the blow from their youngest brother, Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingyi finally stopped being so cocky. The former even stopped writing home for several months.

Zhou Bingyi did better than Zhou Rong in this regard. He often sent letters home and told Li Suhua in the letters that he had established a romantic relationship with Hao Dongmei, his classmate and comrade-in-arms who went to the Construction Corps with him.

This made Li Suhua very happy. She asked Hua Shier to read this letter to her repeatedly for half a month. Listening to it once a day was not enough!

Hua Shier also started to get busy, not because of the company, but because the song he wrote had such a huge influence that he was invited to sing at any event.

After singing in the factory, he sang on the street. After singing on the street, he sang in the district. After singing in the district, he sang in the city. He went out to sing every few days, and finally sang all the way to the old city.

Of course, the trip to Sijiu City came later, and currently his activities are still limited to Jichun City.

However, due to the special nature of the song and its popularity at the time, he sang more often.

Sun Ganchao, that jerk, even introduced him to a job. Seeing that Hua Shier and Xiao Guoqing were the only two of his own people in the office, he leaned over and whispered:
"Bingkun, I have a relative in the countryside. When the old man was alive, he liked to listen to the song played by the production team. He passed away a few days ago, and his family wants to invite you to sing one of your songs for him."

Hua Shier thought that since he was a close friend and relative, and also liked positive energy songs, it would be okay for him to send him a gift.

He asked: "What kind of relatives are you?"

Sun Ganchao: "My third uncle Lianqiao's fourth son's brother-in-law's father-in-law!"

The grandson said mysteriously: "It's not in vain, I'll give you ten yuan and thirty kilograms of food coupons!"

Hua Shier then realized that his grandson had actually introduced him to a free job. The image of 'this amount of money is only enough for one night of singing' suddenly appeared in his mind!

He kicked Sun Ganchao out of the office and asked him to write a 5,000-word self-examination as the section chief.

Xiao Guoqing watched from the sidelines and gloated over Sun Ganchao's misfortune:
"You deserve it. You can say whatever you want. Bingkun gets thirty kilograms of food coupons for each performance. That means he should get at least fifty kilograms of sweet potatoes!"

Xiao Guoqing was actually joking, but the price he paid was a bit high. After a while, he became like Hou Tonghai, the three-headed dragon in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He rose to prominence and lay on the desk, grinning and writing self-criticisms with Sun Ganchao.

After more than two months, fewer and fewer people came to Hua Twelve to sing, and he also had time to go to Zheng Juan's house to teach her medical skills and teach her how to read.

Learning to read is easy, Zheng Juan is very smart and studies hard, but it is not easy to get started in medicine.

Fortunately, Hua Shier's medical skills were pretty good, and under his careful guidance, Zheng Juan also learned well.

Hua Shier is proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine, but he is best at acupuncture in Chinese medicine.

If you want to do acupuncture, you have to recognize the acupoints. So when learning medical skills, Hua Shier found a place where there was no one, and helped Zheng Juan recognize the acupoints step by step, pointing out the important acupoints of the human body to her one by one.

This situation is just like the old naughty boy teaching Yinggu martial arts. In any case, after each teaching session, Hua Shier's smile is always meaningful.

Zheng Juan's face turned red from learning and she wanted to give up several times, but when she thought of her brother's eyes, she reluctantly persevered.

As they learned more, their relationship naturally developed further.

Of course, Zheng Juan stuck to her bottom line and insisted on leaving the last step until after they got married.

Hua Twelve expressed his helplessness about this. He couldn't understand why the topic of marriage came up when he was just teaching medical skills. Women nowadays are really hard to understand. Instead of learning the skills well, they just want to take advantage of him.

Zheng Juan: Tsk, I don’t know who is taking advantage of whom.

Hua Twelve: She is slandering me, she is slandering me, that’s how the old naughty boy taught me to recognize acupuncture points!

On the other hand, Qiao Chunyan confessed her love to Hua Twelve several times, both openly and secretly, but was rejected by him. He told her clearly that they were just buddies and it was impossible.

It’s not that Hua Twelve has changed his temper, but the domestic atmosphere at that time is something he would not allow.

If something really happened between him and Qiao Chunyan, and he was entangled with Zheng Juan, then he would not be able to get over it with the Qiao family.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Hua Shier simply made things clear with Chun Yaner and decided that they should just be good buddies who could pee and play mud together.

But Qiao Chunyan was extremely persistent.

If in the original plot, Qiao Chunyan's initial feelings for Zhou Bingkun were just a kind of childhood sweetheart intimacy, which she mistakenly thought was love, then now her feeling of intimacy with Hua Twelve, her childhood sweetheart, has been upgraded.

Qiao Chunyan actually likes people who are versatile and extroverted. This is why in the original plot, when she met Cao Debao, this type of person, she was easily attracted by his harmonica playing and changed her mind.

Here with Hua Shier, he is more outgoing and more handsome, and one of his songs is now popular all over the country. These things deeply attracted Qiao Chunyan, making her fall in love with her childhood sweetheart more and more deeply, unable to extricate herself.

So even though Hua Shier had clearly refused, Qiao Chunyan still held on to the mentality that sincerity could move mountains and stones. She thought that they were both still young and maybe things would be better when they reached marriageable age, so she never gave up.

September has arrived in a blink of an eye.

That day, the city called the factory and specifically asked Hua Shier to perform at the Sijiu City Art Festival during the National Day, and clearly pointed out that this was a task that must be carried out seriously and completed resolutely, and that no refusal was allowed.

Hua Shier had to go to Sijiu City, and he couldn't leave Li Suhua alone at home, so he had to ask Zheng Juan to take care of her.

As a result, as soon as he left, Qiao Chunyan thought that since her brother Bingkun was not at home, as the future daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, she had to take good care of the old lady, so she decided to move to the Zhou family to accompany Li Suhua.

Hua Twelve: When did you become Zhou's wife? My eldest brother already has a girlfriend!
Qiao Chunyaner: Are you pretending with me? I like this bastard, okay?

Hua 12:
As soon as Qiao Chunyan arrived, she and Zheng Juan had a collision course.

Of course with Li Suhua present, Mars and Earth would definitely not fight, but they were both holding back and wanted to show off in front of their future mother-in-law. They had made up their minds to wait for Hua Twelve to come back before settling down the winner.

Hua Twelve: There’s no need to decide. You two are both female.

On the other hand, Hua Twelve was pulled to rehearse when he arrived in Beijing. After he learned that his parents wanted to watch the performance, he specially submitted a new song. Well, it was also a plagiarism of a song from later generations, and he just used the main song.

The new song quickly passed the review and was confirmed to be sung by him solo, but the previous song "I Love You China" was changed to a chorus and was to be sung with other artists.

On National Day, after the military parade, Hua Twelve ascended to the highest stage of domestic performance.

A special place, special people, the 'older generation' are the center of attention, and next to the head of the family sits the most kind-hearted and most respectable person, well, it's Zhou Bingkun's cousin.

Hua Twelve's program was unexpectedly the first one, and the announcer announced enthusiastically:

"Please invite Comrade Zhou Bingkun, a worker singer from Jichun, to sing his new song "Ten Thousand Frontiers"!"

"The red sun rises in the east, and its avenues are filled with glow."

"The same blood flows, but it's hard to compare how lucky you are to be alive."

"We will share the blessings and enjoy a century of prosperity for our country."

"Stand up straight, and benevolence reigns over all the borders of our country."

"The faith that lasts for thousands of years will always remain in our hearts."

This tribute song, Wanjiang, shines even more brilliantly in this era. The whole audience applauded like thunder. Parents all smiled and clapped their hands, and a bunch of old friends said;
"As long as blood flows, the country will prosper for a hundred years. This is a great poem!"

The old friend smiled and said, "The song you praised last time was also sung by Comrade Xiao Zhou."

The National Day Gala ended with all the performers singing "I Love You China" in chorus, and the performance was a complete success.

The parents, along with a group of old friends, went on stage to shake hands with the actors and patted Hua Twelve on the shoulder to give him some words of encouragement.

Although he is the idol of countless people, Hua Shier was able to remain calm when facing it, because it was not the first time. He even took photos and wrote inscriptions in the Siheyuan!

After completing the task assigned by his superiors, Hua Shier wandered around the old city and even went to Nanluoguxiang on purpose, wanting to see if Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai, and Qin Huairu were still in this world. However, he found that the houses were still the same, but the people had been replaced by other people.

He bought a lot of things in the old capital and put them into the storage space to replenish his reserves. At this time, his song "Wanjiang" had already started playing on the radio station in the capital.

When Hua Shier thought that he would bring another critical blow to Zhou Rong after a while, he wanted to laugh. He hoped that this woman would not be so petty.

Before returning to Jichun, someone sent him a photo, which was a snapshot of the parents shaking hands with him and patting him on the shoulder.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just this photo means the Zhou family is stable in this era!

The comrades who came to send photos were all full of envy.

When he returned to Jichun, he was warmly welcomed at the factory. Then leaders at all levels called him and praised him.

When Hua Shier took out the group photo and showed it to everyone, veterans like Xu Hongbing cried.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and he insisted on keeping it in their house for a few years, but Hua Shier quickly took it back.

Are you kidding? This is a family heirloom of the Zhou family. If you hang it up at home, ghosts and demons will be scared away, monsters will disappear, and it will protect me. As long as I don't make any mistakes in principle, I will be invulnerable to all kinds of attacks.

Amid the envious eyes of everyone in the factory, Hua Shier took the photos and went home. On the way, he found a deserted place and took out a bunch of Beijing specialties from the storage space. But when he got home, he was dumbfounded. His mother Li Suhua sighed, and Zheng Juan and Qiao Chunyan stared at each other angrily.

Li Suhua saw that the old man had returned and said happily:

"Bingkun'er is back, you should take care of them. They don't fight when I'm around, but they just stare at each other all day long. I don't know if it's an illusion, I saw sparks before."

Zheng Juan and Qiao Chunyan felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Li Suhua said, and then they looked at each other and said at the same time:

"It's all her fault!"

They glared at each other again, Li Suhua covered her forehead and said, "It happens again!"

Hua Shier took out a photo with his parents:
"Don't be afraid, Mom. I got a treasure from my trip to the capital this time. If I put it at home, it can sweep away all the monsters and demons. These two monsters can be suppressed directly!"

He placed the photo in the most conspicuous place in the house. Zheng Juan and Qiao Chunyan's eyes widened, and they were shocked beyond words.

Li Suhua even shed tears. Her son could actually take a photo with this person. In the eyes of people of this era, that is a great honor to the family!

Sure enough, Zheng Juan and Qiao Chunyan became obedient and surrounded Hua Twelve, curiously asking him about what was happening in the capital.

Hua Shier also satisfied their curiosity and told them about the cultural and artistic performance, which made them extremely envious.

Li Suhua was also listening happily at the side, thinking that these two girls were a perfect match for her son, and it would be great if they were both her daughters-in-law.

After having dinner at Zhou's house in the evening, it was time for Zheng Juan and Qiao Chunyan to go home. When sending them back, Hua Shier took out two bags of Daoxiangcun dim sum and two Bianyifang roast ducks from the Beijing specialties he had bought and asked them to take them back home to try.

The two women didn't consider Hua Twelve as an outsider, so when he gave it to them, they accepted it, and then asked him to take them home on the pretext that it was getting dark.

Hua Shier and Zheng Juan first sent Qiao Chunyan away, and then sent Zheng Juan back.

Arriving at the door of Qiao Chunyan's house, Chunyan looked at Hua Twelve and said:

"Brother, I know what you're thinking. You just like it this way, right? I can do that too. I won't be so noisy anymore. I'll be that girl too."

Hua Twelve added helplessly: "Lady!"

"Yes, a mature woman!"

Hua Twelve: This is possible!
Qiao Chunyan's eyes turned red as she spoke, tears falling from her eyes. She came up and hit Hua Twelve with a stick:

"I don't care. I'm dependent on you for the rest of my life. I want you to see that I'm no worse than Zheng Juan!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran into the house.

Hua Shier sent Zheng Juan back. When they arrived at Taiping Hutong, Zheng Juan did not go any further and asked him:

"You have nothing to tell me!"

Hua Twelve rolled his eyes:

"Even Chunyaner herself has seen it. I like people like you. Don't pretend you can't hear me. What else can I say?"

Zheng Juan burst out laughing: "Chun Yan'er is actually quite nice!"

Hua Twelve nodded: "I know, but it's a pity that it's not the past now, otherwise I would marry you all!"

"You think beautiful!"

Zheng Juan kicked him angrily and ran away.

Time flies, and it is winter of 1972.

In the past few years, Zhou Zhigang has been busy with construction in the mountain city, Zhou Bingyi has been building a corps in Heilongjiang Province, and Zhou Rong is far away in Guizhou. The family members are separated from each other, but they still rely on letters to relieve their family members' longing and to know each other's situation.

According to Zhou Bingkun's age, 20-year-old Hua Shier was already the deputy director of the timber factory in charge of logistics.

The 20-year-old deputy director of a large collective enterprise was shocking enough to be mentioned in this era. However, as long as Hua Shier's achievements were put on display, it would be enough to shut everyone up.

During his twelfth term as the head of the security department of the timber factory in Hua, he performed extremely well and outstandingly in his job. Not only did he rectify the atmosphere in the factory, but he also worked with the local police station to crack down on many criminal gangs, including the famous Nine Tigers and Thirteen Eagles, the Small Knife Team, the Eight Arhats, etc.
In fact, these achievements may seem very dazzling to others, but to Hua Twelve, they are simply not worth mentioning.

Not to mention a few durian gangs. Back in the Water Margin world, he was the one who wiped out Liangshan. Compared with the heroes of Liangshan, these second-rate guys are nothing.

In addition to his job, Hua Shier also composed many popular red songs, which also added a strong stroke to his credit book.

The position of security chief became vacant, and Xiao Guoqing was promoted to security chief by the factory because of his outstanding performance. Of course, Hua Shier's nomination and help were also indispensable.

After Hua Shier was promoted to deputy factory director in charge of logistics, he continued to work hard. Not only did he manage the logistics work in an orderly manner, he also improved the band saw used for breaking materials in the factory, which allowed the workers to improve their work efficiency. This improvement was also recognized by experts and widely promoted.

T1000: Guess who improved it?

In fact, Hua Shier has more advanced technologies, but now is not the time to use them. He uses these technologies only to increase his own credit and pave the way for becoming a factory director in the future.

Well, Hua Shier has already taken a fancy to Xu Hongbing's position as factory director, and plans to take the position as soon as the old man retires, and then lead the timber factory, a collective enterprise, to soar and become bigger and stronger.

After the reform and opening up, he wanted to be the most handsome son in the Zhou family. Of course, he is also the most handsome one now.

Zheng Juan has also changed a lot. Not only has she become more beautiful, but under the guidance of Hua Shier, her cultural level has also reached that of a high school student.

She also studied medicine very hard. In acupuncture alone, she has reached the level of 60% to 70% of Hua Twelve in his time.

Under Zheng Juan's day-to-day acupuncture treatment, Zheng Guangming's eyesight has returned to normal levels, and he is currently taking cultural courses with Zheng Juan.

That day, Hua Shier got off work and rode his bike to the public bathhouse to take a shower. After he came out of the shower, Qiao Chunyan grabbed him and insisted on giving him a pedicure and foot massage.

Chunyan happily massaged him and asked him:

"Brother, is the massage I give you more comfortable than Zheng Juan's? Don't go to her house all the time. I'm not good at academic subjects. Otherwise, when my parents are not at home, you can come to my house and give me some tutoring."

What kind of bullshit is this? Why do you have to wait until your parents are not at home to do your homework?
Hua Twelve looked around with a guilty conscience, then coughed lightly:
"Work hard, be aware of your influence, and don't tease customers!"

After he said that, he picked up the newspaper beside him, covered his face with it, and stopped Chun Yan'er from winking at him!

I was drinking tea, reading the newspaper and enjoying a massage when I heard someone shouting in the bathhouse that someone had fallen and was injured.

Then I saw an old man being carried out from the men's pool.

Hua Shier asked Qiao Chunyan to wait for a moment, and he stood up and walked over:

"Wait, let me see!"

The reason why he called out to these people was because he recognized that the old man who was carried out was a character in the original play, Ma Shouchang, who was also a leader, but was demoted two years ago, and he didn't meet him when he was performing everywhere.

Unexpectedly, he and this old man were really destined to meet, and he happened to fall down again.

Hearing someone shouting "wait", the manager of the bathhouse was about to turn his face away, wondering why he should wait when he was already injured. But when he turned around and saw it was Hua Twelve, he quickly put on a smile:

"Oh, it's you, Director Zhou. This old man fell in the bathtub and needs to be rushed to the hospital!"

The old man kept crying out "ouch, ouch", obviously he was in severe pain in his legs.

Hua Twelve knew what was going on at a glance:

"It's a broken bone. We need to take him to the hospital, but the journey will be very painful. Let me first adjust his bones and put them back in place to relieve his pain. Then you can take him there. Also, wear more clothes. Don't let the old man get cold in this cold weather!"

The bathhouse manager hesitated: "Will this work?"

Hua Twelve nodded:
"Put him on the bed, and get me a stool and some ropes. If anything goes wrong, it's my fault!"

Everyone quickly put Ma Shouchang on the bed and brought a stool. Hua Twelve tore the wooden stool apart with his hands.

The others stared with wide eyes and gasped.

Quan Jichun knew that Director Zhou could beat dozens of people, but he didn't know how strong he was. Now he saw with his own eyes that he could tear a complete wooden bench apart with just a slight pull, and he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

Picking up two wooden strips as splints and putting them aside, Hua Twelve covered Ma Shouchang's broken bones with both hands, and restored the bones with a snap. Then he took the splint and fixed it with a rope. He also pressed acupuncture points on the old man to relieve the pain, and then said:

"Send him to the hospital!"

Ma Shouchang was surprised himself: "It doesn't hurt anymore, you are quite capable, young man!"

The staff in the bathhouse all boasted about Hua Twelve:
"That's right. Don't you care who Director Zhou is? He's the one who took photos with parents and shook hands with them!"

Ma Shouchang no longer felt any pain at this time, and he immediately became interested when he heard this: "Have you seen that person?"

Hua Twelve waved his hand: "Hurry up and send him to the hospital. Your bones are all broken. Fortunately, Xin'er is still alive~!"

Ma Shouchang was carried away, and as he left he shouted, "Young man, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will treat you to tea when the old man gets better!"

Hua Shier put on his clothes, said hello to Qiao Chunyan, and went back home.

Li Suhua was waiting anxiously at home for a simple reason: her beloved daughter, who seldom wrote to her, had sent a letter back.

When Hua Twelve opened it, his face darkened. Li Suhua asked quickly:

"Bingkun, what's wrong? Don't scare mom. Did something happen to Ronger?"

Hua Twelve said coldly, "No, I'm here to tell you the good news. Your daughter is getting married!"
