Chapter 762 Dink Family
At this time, Zhou Rong was already sitting on the train heading towards her lover in Guizhou. She was looking at the scenery passing by outside the window with excitement and anticipation. Suddenly, she heard the shouts of a salesperson pushing a cart on the train. She couldn't help but feel a little hungry, so she took down one of her packages, because the package contained tea eggs prepared for her by Li Suhua.

Zhou Rong opened her package with an indifferent look on her face, but she did not see the tea eggs she wanted at first. Instead, she saw a small package of things that should not be there. Zhou Rong took out the small package in surprise and found that it contained a package of "family planning products". At this moment, Zhou Rong immediately felt her face blush with shame.

Seeing a note next to the small package, Zhou Rong immediately opened it and read it. All it said was, "Dink (Double income no kids) is the most free lifestyle. Before you are mentally prepared to take responsibility, please don't let any so-called accidents happen."

At this moment, the eighteen-year-old Zhou Rong's face was extremely interesting. Her mind was full of humiliation from her brother. She wanted to throw away the bag of "family planning products" immediately, but in the end her reason prevailed, and she couldn't help but start thinking about the meaning of the English word. Slowly, Zhou Rong realized that something seemed to be wrong. Based on her usual understanding of her brother Suning, she always felt that this was not the level of knowledge that her brother should have, so Zhou Rong felt incredible at this moment.

The term "DINK family" is very fashionable in later generations, but it was still a primitive monster in China in the 1960s and 1970s. It's just that this lifestyle just struck Zhou Rong's heart. You know, she is a sophisticated egoist from beginning to end, and in fact, she can be said to be very selfish, so this novel word entered her mind.

In the original drama, there is not only one ungrateful person like Zhou Nan. In fact, Feng Yue is also another character that makes people feel redundant. The only value of her existence is nothing more than to continue Zhou Rong's selfishness. That's why Suning gave Zhou Rong "family planning products" this time. I believe that the smart and sensitive Zhou Rong should be able to understand what he means.

"Girl, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?" At this time, the old lady next to her noticed Zhou Rong's colorful expression, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Rong warmly and asked.

"Ah? It's okay! Thank you for your concern, auntie. I'm fine." Only then did Zhou Rong wake up from her daze. She looked at the old lady in front of her with a helpless smile and said.

"That's good! A little girl must take good care of herself when she goes out." The old lady patted the back of Zhou Rong's hand kindly, feeling that it was too hard for her to go to the countryside as an educated youth at such a young age.

"Thank you."

Suddenly interrupted by the enthusiastic old lady in front of her, all the anger towards her brother disappeared immediately. She couldn't help but think of the promise she made to her parents last night. So Zhou Rong was not going to have any premarital sex this time. She must stick to the reasonable range of public order and good customs.

Zhou Rong is originally a person with a not-so-pure love brain and does not have any survival skills that should be possessed in society. She does everything based on her own preferences and does not care about anyone's persuasion. But she is lucky and finally has Cai Xiaoguang as her licker and scapegoat.

Of course, Suning, who did such a bizarre and outrageous move, didn't know that Zhou Rong would have so many associations. Even if Suning knew it, he would not care. After all, Suning knew clearly that Zhou Rong's selfishness would not change at all, so there was no need for Suning to worry about this sister. He immediately forgot about the matter, but he didn't know that his "mysterious gift" would cause such a great impact. Of course, this is an important plot that will happen in the future.

At around seven or eight in the evening, Suning personally escorted the elderly and frail Zheng's mother and the blind Guangming, and sent them to the door of the Zheng family in Taiping Hutong. At this time, Zheng Juan also poked her head out of her small house, and naturally saw Suning escorting her mother and brother. She couldn't help but feel a sense of security that she had never felt before.

But Suning just smiled at Zheng Juan from a distance, still keeping his promise to Big Nose Guangming, and did not run over to harass the young Zheng Juan. Instead, he turned around and left Taiping Hutong, which was even worse than the photon film.

"Mom, Guangming, you're back?" Only after Suning left Taiping Hutong did the timid Zheng Juan dare to walk out of the small house.

"Juan'er, Zhou Bingkun is really good. If he really has a job, it would be nice for you to live with him." Zheng's mother was also moved by Su Ning's behavior. At the same time, she agreed with Su Ning's persuasion and began to persuade Zheng Juan.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zheng Juan immediately lowered her head shyly, not knowing what kind of "magic potion" Su Ning had given her mother.

"Juan'er, it's impossible for me to live with you two siblings for the rest of my life, and the light is still so dim that I can't see. So if I can really find a good family for you, I will be at peace even if I die." Mother Zheng, who felt that she didn't have much time left, sighed and stated the helpless reality.

"Mom, I hope you live a long life." Hearing her mother's sad words, Zheng Juan felt sad as if she could empathize with her mother.

"Hehe, live a hundred years? Then I would be a coward." At this time, Zheng's mother couldn't help but reveal a bitter expression on her face. She knew her own physical condition better than anyone else, so she was moved by Suning's words.

In fact, Zheng Juan did not expect that Su Ning would be so persistent. Seeing her mother trying to persuade her earnestly, and the bright side who was silent but tacitly accepting everything, she realized that Su Ning had obviously convinced her mother and brother, and suddenly realized that Su Ning might really be serious about her.

Today, Zheng Juan has been hiding in the small house pasting paper boxes, but she can't help thinking about that big head. Thinking that Su Ning actually came there with the matchmaker to confess his love to her, Zheng Juan, who was pasting paper boxes, couldn't help but smile, and felt that this big-headed Su Ning was actually quite cute.

Seeing that Su Ning was still persevering in helping her mother tonight, Zheng Juan, who had been thinking about Su Ning, couldn't help but relax. At this time, her younger brother Guangming suddenly took Zheng Juan's hand and said, "Sister, I actually think Zhou Bingkun is a good person."

"Oh? Guangming, you feel it again?" Zheng Juan couldn't help but look at her brother in front of her with amusement, and suddenly found that Guangming was very concerned about her marriage.

"Sister, I told Zhou Bingkun tonight that I would come back to persuade you to date him, and also told him to stop harassing you. He actually agreed to my request."

"Guangming, I understand what you and our mother mean, but I still want to observe him more." Although Zheng Juan could understand her mother and brother's urgency, she still wanted to observe Suning more. After all, she and Suning were still strangers.

"Alright! Then let's observe him together."

At the same time, Qiao's mother looked at Qiao's father with a mysterious look on her face and said, "Old Qiao, guess who I met at the neighborhood office today?"

"How would I know? Your street office has so many people going there to do business every day." Qiao Chunyan's father said casually without taking his wife's busy schedule of going out early and coming back late every day.

"Zhou Bingkun."

"Zhou Bingkun? Why is he going to your street office again?" As expected, hearing such a familiar name, Father Qiao showed an interested expression.

"Old Qiao, Zhou Bingkun got a hospital record from somewhere, saying that he has a mild lung disease and cannot be exposed to dust and sawdust." After finally arousing her husband's curiosity, Qiao Chunyan's mother said mysteriously.

"What? Zhou Bingkun is as strong as a calf, how can he look sick? I think he is pretending to be sick on purpose and wants your street office to arrange an easy job for him." Qiao Chunyan's father immediately widened his eyes in shock, thinking that Suning's excuse was too weird, and immediately speculated with a look of disdain on his face.

"You are wrong! Bingkun doesn't want a good job this time, but wants to apply for an individual business license." Seeing that her husband had guessed wrong, Qiao's mother immediately explained proudly.

"What? Can you still apply for this now?" Qiao Chunyan's father widened his eyes in shock. He really hadn't heard that you could still apply for this.

"Idiot! Have you forgotten about Lame Zhang from Photon Film? Can't he just make clothes and repair shoes for others at home?" Mother Qiao gave an example in a bad mood, feeling that there was a lot of room for maneuver in this matter.

"Huh? Does Zhou Bingkun want to do this too?" Qiao Chunyan's father looked at his wife in surprise and asked.

"No! Zhou Bingkun is planning to apply to open a small restaurant near our Photon Film Studio."

"Mother Chunyan, does Zhou Bingkun meet the requirements of this policy?" Although she understood a little bit after connecting the previous and the next, she still looked at her husband in confusion and asked.

"Hey, it's all in our hands! He came over today and asked me to do this." Qiao's mother had long been confident about this matter; otherwise, she wouldn't have promised Su Ning to wait for news at home. "Well, it seems Bingkun is quite smart, but being a self-employed person doesn't have the airs of a factory worker. I don't think he'll ever amount to much." Although he thought Su Ning's move was subtle, Qiao Chunyan's father still felt a little disdainful.

"Old Qiao, the work in the city is so tight now, where can Zhou Bingkun find a good job? Look at our Chunyan, who has been waiting for a long time and ended up working as a pedicure worker. I think it would be better for us to find a way to apply for a self-employed business license." Qiao's mother did not have the same idea as her husband. Instead, she had seen the matter very clearly.

"Mother Chunyan, it seems that you think Zhou Bingkun can succeed in this matter?" Qiao Chunyan's father heard the implicit meaning of his wife's words and suddenly realized that this matter could really be accomplished.

"Of course! I now want our Chunyan to have more contact with Zhou Bingkun. It would be great if Zhou Bingkun could become our third son-in-law." Qiao Chunyan's mother couldn't help but express her plan proudly. She had long been optimistic about the wealthy Su Ning family and was willing to take the initiative to marry into their family.

"Ah? Chunyan's mother, you are so smart to think of that. Our Chunyan is just a little old!" After hearing his wife's thoughts, Qiao Chunyan's father immediately shook his head fiercely.

"What's wrong! Chunyan is already eighteen years old this year, which is the legal age for marriage." The original legal age for marriage was twenty and eighteen, so Qiao Chunyan's mother said disapprovingly.

"Mother Chunyan, if you are too impatient, it will only make our Chunyan suffer. You know, Zhou Bingkun is a grown man, and our girl can't beat him." At this time, Qiao Chunyan's father saw it very clearly, and he also realized that Su Ning had no interest in Qiao Chunyan.

"Okay! I've already made up my mind about this matter. Let's see what you can do!" Seeing that her husband started to have wild thoughts again, Qiao Chunyan's mother looked at Qiao's father with some disdain and said.

"Alas." Their Qiao family has always been headed by the overbearing mother Qiao, so at this time Qiao Chunyan's father could only passively accept it.

At this time, Qiao's father and mother were sitting on the kang and talking, and they did not notice that their third daughter was eavesdropping at the door. Thinking that the big-headed Su Ning next door was so smart, they couldn't help but reveal a shy expression of a girl thinking about love, and they wanted to run to the Zhou family not far away next door and eat Su Ning in one bite.

Most of a child's thinking comes from his or her parents, which is why people always say that parents are the best teachers for their children. Therefore, under the influence of her parents every day, Qiao Chunyan is more mature than other children of the same group. When doing things, she only pays attention to the final result, and unknowingly makes herself become unscrupulous.

Seeing her youngest son, who had been leaving home early and coming back late recently, Li Suhua felt a surge of anger. She then asked her son angrily, "Bingkun, why are you away from home all day? What are you busy doing outside every day?"

"Mom, I'm busy outside!"

"Big deal? What big deal? You don't seem nervous about big things at work."

"Mom, I asked someone to get a medical record at Jichun People's Hospital, and then I want to apply for an individual business license from the street." Suning suddenly approached Li Suhua and whispered in her ear to explain.

"What the hell? You want to be a self-employed person?" Li Suhua immediately widened her eyes in anger, feeling that her son must be crazy.

"It's not a pure self-employed business, but the street allows disabled people who are unable to work to have a chance to make a living, just like our Lame Zhang from Photon Film who sews and mends at home." Seeing that his mother overreacted like this, Suning hurriedly explained with a smile again.

"Bingkun, you don't want to do mending work like Cripple Zhang, do you?"

"Mom, I want to open a small restaurant and cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It will definitely be much more free than working."

"Nonsense! Can you cook? Have you ever been in our kitchen?"

"Mom, I've actually always been interested in cooking. I even secretly took an old royal chef from the palace as my teacher."

"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Li Suhua looked at her son in front of her with a questioning look on her face. Now she couldn't help but doubt every word her son said.

"Mom, look at what you said, am I a lying child?" Suning immediately said with a face full of grievance, feeling that trust between people is too difficult.

"Tsk! You've told so many lies since you were a child." Li Suhua didn't care about her son's grievances at all. Instead, she believed from the bottom of her heart that every word Suning said since he was a child was the truth.

"Mom, I'm serious this time. I can definitely have a stable livelihood."

"Hey! If your dad knew about this, he would be so angry that he would die."

"Tsk! Anyway, the old man only comes back once every three years, so we just need to keep it a secret from him."

"You're such a jerk."

As we all know, China only began to gradually explore and open up the market economy during the reform and opening up period, and then a large number of self-employed individuals emerged like mushrooms after a rain. However, there is nothing absolute in this world. Even in the most stringent 1960s and 1970s, some people who were unable to work were allowed to make a living on their own.

You should know that many disabled people can neither work in factories nor work in the fields in rural areas, so some disabled people are allowed to run some small businesses, such as simple sewing and repairing bicycles. So now Suning wants to take advantage of such a policy loophole.

"Bingkun, even if you apply for a business license, it will ruin your reputation! Others will say behind your back that you are a disabled person!" After understanding her youngest son's plan, Li Suhua became even more worried.

"Mom, as long as we can get some benefits, those false reputations are nothing." Suning shook his head indifferently. It is much better than getting a fixed salary for nothing.

"Huh? Bingkun, you are quite open-minded." Seeing that her youngest son had a face full of disapproval, Li Suhua looked at Suning with some confusion.

"Mom, since last year, many people have been using their connections to find jobs everywhere. Now, there is no good job for me, so I might as well think of a solution in advance."

"Hey! What you said does make some sense. It seems that your Aunt Qiao's third daughter, Qiao Chunyan, was arranged to work as a pedicure worker in the bathhouse. What's the big deal about Chunyan, a grown-up girl, giving pedicures and back scrubbing?"

"Mom, do you support my plan this time?" Suning couldn't help but look at his mother in front of him with a funny look and asked.

"Oh! Now I can only let you do whatever you want."
