Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Lu Chuan is a very capable person, but he is also a typical example of someone who flatters the powerful and belittles the weak.

In the video, he forgets his good brothers after getting into university and becoming a cadre, and is unwilling to get together with his good friends during the Chinese New Year.

But when they went to visit Mr. and Mrs. Ma Shouchang, he showed up again, acting particularly snobbish.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the people of Lüchuan are incompetent.

Everyone has their own personality.

You might think someone is bad, but they might think you're pretentious.

They just have different opinions.

As for Zhou Bingkun, he didn't want to have anything to do with these two.

Even knowing that Lü Chuan would be capable and become a high-ranking official in the future.

After a satisfying meal, and as it was getting late, Qu Xiuzhen arranged for a driver to take Zhou Bingkun and the other two back home.

Inside the car, the intoxicated Cao Debao and Lü Chuan were discussing something animatedly.

Cao Debao, in particular, vented his frustrations and complaints, even bringing up the faults of Qu Xiuzhen and Ma Shouchang, who had just treated him to dinner.

Zhou Bingkun could tell that he was jealous.

Seeing that the elderly couple Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen were living well, he felt resentful.

This made Zhou Bingkun even more disdainful. One moment they were treating you kindly, and the next you took advantage of them and started cursing them. Is this something a human being would do?

But he didn't want to have anything to do with Cao Debao, so he simply pretended not to hear and closed his eyes to rest.

Although Lü Chuan felt that Cao Debao was wrong, he did not stop him, but just responded with a few words here and there.

Cao Debao's behavior aroused strong dissatisfaction from the driver, who suddenly stopped the car and berated Cao Debao.

Cao Debao was so frightened that he didn't dare to utter a single word in rebuttal.

The driver then took Zhou Bingkun to the publishing house, and then drove to take Cao Debao and Lü Chuan.

Zhou Bingkun told the security guard on duty, then rode his bicycle home.

As soon as I got home, I heard Li Suhua's voice coming from the inner room: "Kun'er, why are you so late today? Have you eaten?"

"Mom, I've already eaten. A leader invited me to dinner today, and I couldn't refuse, so I came back late," Zhou Bingkun said to Li Suhua.

This is one of the inconveniences of this era.

Without a mobile phone or a landline at home, there's no way to contact family members if anything happens.

Li Suhua came out wearing a coat and immediately smelled the alcohol on Zhou Bingkun: "Kun'er, have you been drinking?"

"Yes, the boss made me drink it, I couldn't refuse. But I didn't drink too much, don't worry."

Li Suhua prepared to go to the kitchen: "I'll get you some water to wash up."

Zhou Bingkun quickly stopped her: "I can do it myself, Mom, go to sleep!"

"You're so clumsy, I'll do it for you."

Li Suhua moved quickly, and before she knew it, she had poured water for Zhou Bingkun.

Sunday arrived quickly.

Everyone was off work today, so Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao arrived at the Zhou family's house early in the morning.

Standing outside the Zhou family's courtyard, Xiao Guoqing asked Li Suhua, "Auntie, where's Bingkun?"

"Bingkun went to borrow a tricycle, he should be back soon!"

Sun Ganchao asked with some confusion, "Why did he borrow a tricycle? How many is he planning to buy?"

Zhou Bingkun did not keep the pork purchase to himself, but instead told Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao about it.

Li Suhua looked around, then glared at Sun Ganchao: "Keep your voice down, it's not good if someone hears you!"

She didn't know how much pork was available this time. Zhou Bingkun said he wanted to buy more for his father and older brother who were coming back for the New Year, and she, as their mother, was naturally overjoyed.

They were afraid someone would steal their meat, so they were on guard at all times.

He then said to the two of them, "It's cold outside, you two go inside and wait."

"Okay, Auntie."

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao stopped the car and went inside.

Zhou Bingkun had told them before that pork was sold piece by piece.

The two waited for a while, but instead of Zhou Bingkun who was supposed to borrow the tricycle, another person came instead.

"Spring Swallow".

Upon hearing Li Suhua's voice, Xiao Guoqing stood up in surprise, and then saw Qiao Chunyan walk in.

"Guoqing and Ganchao, you've both arrived!" Qiao Chunyan said to the two of them with a smile.

Xiao Guoqing asked in confusion, "Chunyan, did Kun'er inform you?"

He remembered that when Zhou Bingkun told them, he specifically instructed them that he had only informed the two of them and that they should not tell anyone else.

How did Qiao Chunyan find out too?

Thinking that Zhou Bingkun probably wouldn't lie to him, Xiao Guoqing couldn't help but look at Sun Ganchao beside him.

When Sun Ganchao met his gaze, he immediately smiled awkwardly: "I happened to run into Chunyan that day and mentioned it to her."

"You're really something, you'll have to explain this to Kun'er yourself later!" Xiao Guoqing said to Sun Ganchao with a look of disappointment.

He didn't believe what Sun Ganchao said.

This kid must have deliberately spread the word to curry favor with Qiao Chunyan.

He understood Sun Ganchao's thoughts.

Previously, Qiao Chunyan only liked Zhou Bingkun, and Sun Ganchao had no chance.

Now that Zhou Bingkun has Zheng Juan, Sun Ganchao feels he has a chance, so he eagerly tries to win Qiao Chunyan's favor.

Sun Ganchao argued, "I'm doing this for our own sake. A pork carcass weighs about a hundred pounds, which is too much for the two of us to finish. But if we add Chunyan, there won't be a problem."

"Hehe." Xiao Guoqing turned his head away, ignoring Sun Ganchao's sophistry.

Zhou Bingkun rode the tricycle, with Zheng Juan sitting behind him.

He borrowed the tricycle from the company's logistics department; he had to return it after hauling the pork.

I just got home and found the house quite lively.

Qiao Chunyan's appearance surprised him somewhat, but he didn't pay much attention to it; one more Qiao Chunyan wouldn't make a difference.

Qiao Chunyan, however, said with considerable dissatisfaction, "Brother Bingkun, you didn't even tell me about such a good thing! If Ganchao hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known! Do you treat me like an outsider?"

"No, it's just that I haven't run into you. I'll definitely tell you when I do." Zhou Bingkun replied casually, not wanting to get entangled with Qiao Chunyan any longer.

This woman is not only eloquent, but also incredibly shameless, acting as if she belongs to someone else.

Moreover, she is his mother's goddaughter, his god-sister and childhood friend, so strictly speaking, she is not an outsider.

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao both greeted Zheng Juan.

They had met Zheng Juan many times and were quite familiar with her.

Zhou Bingkun greeted Li Suhua and then left with the others.

The Victory Store in the eastern suburbs of the city is quite far from the Guangzipian (a local landmark), and it takes quite a while to get there by bike.

On the way, Xiao Guoqing asked Zhou Bingkun, "Kun'er, where did you get this tricycle? How much pork are you planning to buy with this tricycle?"

"The vehicle was borrowed from the publishing house. As for the pork, I plan to get two cuts," Zhou Bingkun replied while pedaling the tricycle.

"Two doors? Are you crazy?" Xiao Guoqing looked at Zhou Bingkun with a shocked expression.

Sun Ganchao and Qiao Chunyan were also very shocked; two flaps were enough to open a whole pig!

Sun Ganchao asked, "Kun'er, why did you buy so much pork? Even at 48 cents a pound, two pieces would cost almost a hundred yuan! Can your family finish it all?"

“It’s almost Chinese New Year, and my dad and older brother both said they’re coming back!” Zhou Bingkun explained with a smile. “Besides our family, there’s also Zheng Juan’s family. Two pork hocks are more than enough to eat! Even if we can’t finish them, we can freeze them and eat them after the New Year.”

Xiao Guoqing said with some envy, "My family is just as big as yours. Are you planning to eat meat every day from now on? And it costs a hundred yuan! That's almost half a year's salary for me. Is your publishing house that profitable?"

Zhou Bingkun naturally couldn't tell the truth: "It's not like I'm the only one paying. My dad's salary is also sent home. Even so, our family gritted our teeth and managed to come up with 100 yuan!"

"Isn't this just about having a good New Year? After all, my parents haven't been back for several years, unlike your parents who are always at home and you can see them every day."

Qiao Chunyan said to Zheng Juan with envy, "Juan'er, you are so lucky. Brother Bingkun always thinks of you. I am not as lucky as you."

Zheng Juan just smiled and didn't reply.

Although she is not highly educated, she is not stupid.

She knew Qiao Chunyan's feelings for Zhou Bingkun, and she also knew that she was no match for Qiao Chunyan.

But the more she thought about it, the more grateful she became to Zhou Bingkun.

Sun Ganchao suddenly said to Qiao Chunyan, "Chunyan, look at me! Although I'm not as good as Kun'er, I'm not bad either. Why don't you consider me?"

"Get lost," Qiao Chunyan retorted without any politeness.

This caused everyone to burst into laughter, except for Sun Ganchao, who looked embarrassed.

The group chatted and joked around while pedaling their feet at a rapid pace.

When Zhou Bingkun and his group arrived at the Shengli Store Supply and Marketing Cooperative, they found a large crowd had already gathered at the store entrance.

Xiao Guoqing asked in surprise, "Why are there so many people?"

"Isn't this normal? If we can get the news, others can certainly get it through other channels as well," Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. "But since the higher-ups have decided to open it up, it means that the supply of pork should exceed the demand this time. There's no need to rush; we can just wait in line."

"National Day, catch up, go ask how to queue up."

“Okay, you guys wait here, we’ll go ask.” Xiao Guoqing nodded.

They then squeezed into the crowd with Sun Ganchao.

After a while, Xiao Guoqing came back: "Bingkun, the meat hasn't arrived yet! But quite a few people have come, and everyone is queuing up. I told Ganchao to queue up there."

Having watched the future video, Zhou Bingkun knew what was going on with this pork trade.

Even at night, it was still not on sale.

The reason is that the supply and marketing cooperative and the warehouse did not communicate well.

The leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative assumed that the other party would deliver it on their own, so they did not urge them.

The people at the warehouse didn't want to make a mistake, so they were waiting for a call from the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative.

There was no communication between the two sides, and they just waited.

The pork still hadn't arrived by evening.

This caused a commotion; if it weren't for Zhou Bingkun and others intervening, the supply and marketing cooperative would probably have been robbed clean.

Knowing the situation, Zhou Bingkun naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to wait until nightfall.

He kept an eye on the time, wondering if anything unexpected might happen.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will go in and talk to the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative a little while later, and ask them to make a phone call.

"Brother Bingkun, why haven't they started selling yet? Did you get the information wrong?" After waiting for a while, Qiao Chunyan became a little anxious.

She worked as a pedicurist at a public bathhouse, and Sundays were usually her busiest time.

The morning is fine, but the afternoon and evening are absolutely unbearable.

She originally planned to buy the meat before noon so as not to delay her work in the afternoon.

But since pork hasn't been released for sale yet, she couldn't help but start to doubt the accuracy of Zhou Bingkun's information.

Xiao Guoqing is not like Sun Ganchao; he won't indulge Qiao Chunyan.

Before Zhou Bingkun could speak, he said to Qiao Chunyan, "If the news wasn't true, would so many people be queuing up here? What's the rush? Do you think meat is so easy to buy? No tickets are needed, so what's wrong with taking a little time to wait?"
