The world of film and television begins from childhood

There was no way. No matter how powerful he was, he was just one person and could not withstand the bombardment of several adults in turn. In addition, the alcohol in that era was really strong, so he finally passed out after drinking.

To be honest, this New Year was more lively than the one in the real world more than 20 years later. Zhou Chen also received quite a few red envelopes. Although they were only three or five yuan, the thoughtfulness made him feel extremely satisfied.

Zhou Chen stayed at home until the ninth day of the first lunar month. After his constant persuasion, his parents finally agreed to go to Yanjing with him and consider staying in Yanjing if possible.

Zhou Chen was ecstatic when he heard the news. He was not absolutely sure that he could convince his parents, but as long as his parents were willing to go with him to take a look, he was 90% sure that he could convince them.

After all, Yanjing is the capital, and it is countless times more prosperous than their small county. If the conditions are not met, it would be difficult for outsiders to survive there.

But Zhou Chen has already figured out everything. As long as his parents see that he can make much more money in Yanjing than in his hometown, and that his son and future daughter-in-law are studying there, they will definitely consider staying.

Finally, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the family of three bought tickets and headed to Yanjing with their luggage.

After a day and night of driving, they finally arrived in Yanjing, but Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping did not look very good. The bumpy ride made them very uncomfortable.

"Is this the little house you were talking about?"

When the couple arrived at the house Zhou Chen rented, Li Congping questioned Zhou Chen with a dark face.

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Yes, it's this little house."

"So what is a big house in your opinion?"

"It has to be at least a villa, and it has to be over 300 square meters, with a garden, a swimming pool, a basketball court, and..."

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard."

Li Congping cursed angrily, saying that her own son had become so ambitious after only not seeing him for a year and a half.

Look at this house, more than 100 square meters, with air conditioning, washing machine, refrigerator, all these things she couldn’t even dream of at home, yet her son has arranged them all at once.

Zhou Chen said, "Mom, you can't blame me. If I lived alone, I wouldn't need such good conditions. But these are all arranged for you. Sometimes I will bring Yingnan here. It can't be an empty house with no furniture or appliances, right? That would be so ugly."

When Li Congping heard this, she immediately asked nervously, "Have you ever brought your girlfriend here to live?"

“Yes.”

The couple became even more nervous, especially Zhou Zhiming, who seemed even more nervous when he knew that Zhao Yingnan's father was the head of the army.

"You kid, don't mess around, right? You are still students, you must control yourself and don't make a mess. You can't even go to school. Your parents can't afford to lose face."

Zhou Chen said helplessly, "Dad, am I as unreliable as you say? I am dating a serious girl, not fooling around. Of course I have to respect her. Don't worry, Yingnan and I are not as worried as you guys are. Even if we come here, we will just sleep in separate rooms."

Although he is hot-tempered at his age, he is not a novice after all. He can control himself if he wants to.

In addition to the last step, he and Zhao Yingnan actually completed many steps and often lay together, but he would not force Zhao Yingnan until she was ready.

"That's fine, that's fine."

The couple both breathed a sigh of relief. They were most afraid that their son would become bad after having money, but fortunately, it did not turn out as they worried.

"Dad, Mom, take a good rest today. I'll take you to the newsstand tomorrow. I've asked my classmates to organize it, and it will be open soon."

He had already made arrangements with Houpu, and Houpu came early. With the help of Qiu Shui and others who lived in Yanjing, there was no need to worry about the newsstand.

Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping were actually a little impatient to go and see it right away, but they were really tired, so they agreed to rest first and then go and see it after they had rested.

"By the way, Yingnan will be back to school in a couple of days. Do you want to meet her? If you want to meet her, I'll bring her back for dinner."

"Yes, of course I will."

Li Congping nodded without hesitation, and Zhou Zhiming also echoed in agreement.

"Well, when Yingnan comes back, I'll bring her to see you."

Zhou Chen has already preliminarily determined that Zhao Yingnan will be his wife in the future as long as nothing unexpected happens, so it is only natural to bring her back to see his parents. He believes that Zhao Yingnan will definitely not refuse.

A few days passed in a flash.

Ever since Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping went to see the newsstand, they have been very satisfied. Although it is called a newsstand, its area is actually not small, being more than ten square meters.

Houpu arrived early and had almost finished decorating the newsstand, ready to open at any time.

"Tell me what uncle and aunt like, so I can buy something to bring over."

Zhao Yingnan stood in the shopping mall, looking quite nervous. Ever since she knew Zhou Chen was going to take her to meet his parents, she had been worried.

However, although she was nervous about meeting Zhou Chen's parents, she was still very happy in her heart, because Zhou Chen was willing to take her to meet his parents, which showed that he was sincere to her.

So she immediately dragged Zhou Chen to the mall and wanted to buy some things. It was her first time meeting her future in-laws, so she had to leave a good impression.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "My parents are so happy to see you, their future daughter-in-law, that they don't need any gifts."

"You are the only one who knows how to coax me. It's my first time there, so how can I not buy anything? Tell me quickly, what are you going to buy?" Zhao Yingnan said coquettishly.

Zhou Chen was quite helpless and could only say: "Spring is coming soon, so buy my mom a windbreaker and my dad a pair of leather shoes. You choose and I'll pay."

Zhao Yingnan rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen and said, "I'm buying gifts for my uncle and aunt. How can I ask you to pay? I have money."

"Don't spend all your living expenses on gifts, or you'll end up eating steamed buns every day."

"Even if I spend all my money, you can't let me eat steamed buns every day, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I will support you for the rest of your life, okay?"

"That's good enough. Let's go pick out some clothes."

After shopping in the mall for a few hours, Zhao Yingnan finally bought clothes and shoes that satisfied him. By the way, he also bought a coat for Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen said he didn't want to buy anything, but after a round of shopping, he did buy some things for his parents and also bought some clothes for Zhao Yingnan.

Zhao Yingnan didn't want it at first, but she couldn't resist Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen said that he was buying her new clothes to improve her status in the eyes of her parents, so she had to accept it.

Zhao Yingnan changed into new clothes, took Zhou Chen's arm and walked towards home.

Just looking at her expression, she revealed an unprecedented nervousness, which showed how important this meeting was to her.

When she arrived at the door of her house, Zhao Yingnan became even more nervous and her body became stiff.

Zhou Chen noticed her nervousness, patted her hands gently, and said softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid, my parents are very nice people."

"What if my uncle and aunt don't like me?" Zhao Yingnan asked.

Zhou Chen said: "You have to follow me. No matter what they think, I have identified you. Even if you want to run away, I will copy you back."

"Hate."

Zhou Chen's sweet words made Zhao Yingnan smile, and her tense mood was relaxed.

For a girl who visits a man's house for the first time, her confidence comes from the man. If her boyfriend is not supportive, no matter how confident she is, it will be useless.

"Let's go."

As soon as they heard the sound of the door opening, the couple, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly walked to the living room and looked towards the door.

Today is just an ordinary day, but it is of great significance to the couple because their son has

Chapter 311 Time Flies, Two Years and Two Years

"Dad, Mom, this is Zhao Yingnan."

Seeing his parents’ burning eyes, Zhou Chen immediately shook Zhao Yingnan’s hand and introduced her to them.

Zhao Yingnan, whose hand was held by Zhou Chen, mustered up the courage to say, "Uncle, aunt, hello, my name is Zhao Yingnan."

"Gift, gift." Zhou Chen reminded in a low voice.

Zhao Yingnan reacted and quickly took out the bag in his hand.

"Uncle, aunt, this is our first meeting, and I don't know what you like, so I just bought some things. I hope you don't mind."

When Zhao Yingnan walked in, Li Congping kept staring at her. She was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and a pink down jacket, with a smile on her face.

"Good boy, you are here now. What else do you want to buy? Come and sit down."

Judging from the appearance, Li Congping was quite satisfied. Moreover, the child was very sensible and bought something the first time he came.

Zhao Yingnan was held by Li Congping's hand and sat down on the sofa. She was quite restless, but she was relieved after Zhou Chen sat next to her.

Li Congping said to Zhou Zhiming, "Hurry up and bring the dishes over and get ready to eat."

Zhao Yingnan quickly said, "Uncle, Auntie, I'll go help."

Li Congping immediately held her back and said, "Don't be so polite, kid. Treat this place as your own home. Just sit down and wait for dinner."

Zhou Chen suddenly picked up the handbag and said to his mother, "Mom, this is the windbreaker Yingnan bought for you. Try it on to see if it's the right size. If it doesn't fit, we can adjust it."

"Look, kid, why are you buying clothes for me when your aunt already has clothes to wear?" Li Congping blamed.

Zhao Yingnan said, "I didn't know what to buy for Auntie. I saw a nice windbreaker in the mall, so I bought one for you. If you don't like it, we can go back and change it now."

"No need to change, no need to change, Auntie likes it very much."

Li Congping took the windbreaker and took a look. She had never worn this kind of clothes before, but it looked pretty good, so she took it with a smile.

"These are the leather shoes I bought for my uncle." Zhao Yingnan quickly took out the leather shoes she bought for Zhou Zhiming.

"What can I say to you, kid? Your uncle has plenty of shoes. It would be a waste to buy him leather shoes."

Zhou Zhiming stuck his head out of the kitchen door and twitched his lips. "Do I have too many shoes? I only have two pairs of leather shoes. How can it be a waste if I wear them?"

The first meeting between Zhao Yingnan and Zhou Chen's parents can be said to be very harmonious. Although Zhao Yingnan was nervous, she still performed very well, which made Li Congping very satisfied and felt that this future daughter-in-law was very generous.

The meal lasted more than two hours.

"Zhou Chen, what should we do about this?"

Zhao Yingnan held up the thick red envelope in her hand. It was given to her by Zhou Chen's mother Li Congping when she was leaving. She had no choice but to accept it because she was afraid that Li Congping would be angry.

But when I went out and opened it, I found there was two thousand yuan.

In this era, what is the concept of two thousand yuan? Even in the capital Yanjing, some people with good jobs only earn about five hundred yuan a month. The situation in the small counties is even worse, where a monthly salary of one or two hundred yuan is considered a high salary.

Zhao Yingnan had been with Zhou Chen for so long and knew very well what Zhou Chen's parents were like. They were just two ordinary workers, and two thousand yuan might be a huge sum of money that they had to save after years of frugality.

It would be strange if she wasn't nervous after receiving such a huge red envelope all at once.

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Since it was given by my mother, you should accept it and don't feel any psychological burden."

"How can this be possible? Two thousand yuan is too much. The things I bought for my uncles and aunts only cost a few hundred yuan. They gave me so much. I really don't dare to accept it."

"Listen to me, in my hometown, there is a rule that when a woman goes to a man's house for the first time, if the man's parents are very satisfied with her, they will give her a big red envelope, which can be regarded as recognition; if the woman returns the red envelope, it means that the woman is not satisfied with the man's family and parents and is unwilling to accept the red envelope, which can be regarded as a rejection."

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Zhao Yingnan looked skeptical: "Really? Don't lie to me, okay?"

Zhou Chen said: "Why would I lie to you? Just take care of the red envelope. If you still feel bad, you can find a chance to honor my parents later."

Now that things had come to this, Zhao Yingnan had no choice but to accept it.

"Okay then, I'll take it. By the way, have uncle and aunt agreed to stay in Yanjing?"

Zhou Chen: "I haven't received a reply yet, but I think they are very interested in the job at the newsstand. Since we are in Yanjing, they should stay. But I won't force them. After all, they have lived in their hometown for so many years. If they really don't want to come, then I will think of a way to invest in them and start a small business in their hometown."

He sincerely hoped that his parents could stay, but he couldn't force them. If they really didn't want to, he could only compromise.

As for the newsstand, he can hire people to do it. In this era, the thing that is least lacking is manpower.

However, Zhou Chen's worries were unnecessary. In the eyes of Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping, Zhou Chen was their only son and more important than anyone else.

In addition, their future daughter-in-law is in Yanjing, and the two of them still have to continue studying in medical school for several years. They think that being able to take care of their son and daughter-in-law in Yanjing is also a good choice.

So after the couple had discussed it, they told Zhou Chen that they were willing to come to Yanjing, but it would take some time for them to go back and arrange their work and matters at home.

Zhou Chen was naturally overjoyed when he found out. His parents being able to come to Yanjing meant that he could see them at any time and go home for dinner at any time.

This seemingly simple thing can only be understood by those who have truly experienced it, and how precious it is.

School will start soon, and Zhou Chen will enter study mode again. In the new semester, there will be obviously more professional courses.

After a semester of study and understanding, Zhou Chen developed a great interest in medicine and learned some basics. The main reason was that this subject was too profound and extensive, and even if he studied for a few years, he could only barely get started.

After Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping returned to their hometown, they quickly dealt with their affairs there, quit their jobs, and then rushed back to Yanjing as quickly as possible.

Two months passed in a flash.

With Zhou Chen's help, his parents quickly figured out the ins and outs of the newsstand. They no longer had to worry about delivering goods, as Zhou Chen had already arranged for them to be delivered every morning. In addition to newspapers, the newsstand also sold magazines, books, and so on.

The couple usually took turns coming, and after seeing that they could make money, they often drove until very late at night before going home. Zhou Chen tried to persuade them many times but it was useless, so he just let them do what they wanted.

Every weekend, Zhou Chen would take Zhao Yingnan back home for dinner, and Li Congping would always prepare a large table full of food.

Life goes smoothly and time passes slowly.

In the boys' dormitory, after Zhou Chen came back from home, he saw Gu Ming lying on the bed with a depressed look on his face, and he didn't even react to his coming back.

So he asked Xinyi, another person in the dormitory, in confusion: "Xinyi, what happened to Xiaobai? He seems to have lost his soul."
