The world of film and television begins from childhood

The weather was getting colder and there were only a few months left before the Spring Festival. Li Suhua started to get busy again because Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi both wrote to her saying that they might come back to celebrate the Spring Festival.

It has been three years since they left in 69, so when Li Suhua learned that her husband and eldest son were coming back, she woke up with a smile in her dreams. She had been busy preparing for the New Year these days.

She had saved the meat coupons that Zhou Chen had given her before, and had gone out to buy meat for several days in a row these days. After bringing the meat back, she planned to freeze it and eat it during the Chinese New Year.

Ever since Zhou Chen joined the publishing house and earned more and more money, Li Suhua felt that life at home was getting better and better. There was no shortage of food or meat. When they were at home, they could eat meat several times a month, which was something they had never dared to think about before.

Under her watch, her youngest son became more and more successful, and she felt that her husband would be happy when he came back.

At dinner, Li Suhua said to Zhou Chen, "Kun'er, your father and your elder brother will be back this Spring Festival. Put away all your books and wait for them to come back. Let them read the poems and stories you wrote. They will definitely be proud of you."

Seeing the happy expression on the old lady's face, Zhou Chen couldn't bear to disappoint her.

He knew very well that neither Zhou Zhigang nor Zhou Bingyi would come back during the Spring Festival of 73.

The stepfather Zhou Zhigang was worried about his daughter, so he ran to your province to find his daughter Zhou Rong and spend the Spring Festival with her.

In fact, Zhou Bingyi has time to come back, but Hao Dongmei cannot leave easily, so he will stay to accompany Hao Dongmei.

It is clear from Zhou Zhigang's behavior how biased he is.

He only had one chance to go home in more than three years, but he insisted on going to find his daughter who was an orphan. For his daughter, he even ignored his own home and wife and children and stayed with his daughter to celebrate the New Year.

There is nothing to say about Zhou Bingyi. Li Suhua often said that Zhou Chen forgot his mother after he got married. In fact, this sentence is more appropriate when used on Zhou Bingyi.

"Kun'er, in a few days, you and your mother will go to the public bathhouse. Chunyan has asked me to go there for a bath and pedicure several times, but I have never been there once. When you have rested, you and your mother can go take a bath together. Oh, and call Zheng Juan as well."

Li Suhua has completely accepted Zheng Juan, and even thought about taking advantage of the Spring Festival when her child's father comes back to bring up Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan's marriage and let them get married as soon as possible. She also wants to have a grandson soon.

Zhou Chen goes to the public bathhouse almost every once in a while, especially in autumn and winter, and he is very familiar with the place.

"No problem. I'll be taking a day off the day after tomorrow. Then I'll call Zheng Juan and we'll go together."

Li Suhua smiled happily: "Then it's settled."

"we have a deal."

Chapter 559: Saving Ma Shouchang and taking Zheng Juan to see a house

Today, Zheng Juan did not go out to set up the stall because she was going to take a bath with Zhou Chen and Li Suhua. Originally, she wanted to take her mother and brother with her, but Aunt Zheng was unwilling to go, and Zheng Guangming was also unwilling to go. In the end, she was the only one who came to Guangzipian.

Li Suhua took out two tickets and said to Zhou Chen, "Chunyan gave me two tickets. There are three of us going, but we are short of one. We will buy another ticket later."

Zhou Chen said: "Mom, you have said this several times, I understand, let's go quickly, it takes time for us to walk back and forth."

There was only one bicycle at home, which could not seat three people. Neither Zheng Juan nor Li Suhua knew how to ride a bicycle, so the three of them had to walk.

The public bathhouse is not far from Guangzipian. Since there are no private bathhouses now, the public bathhouse is the only large bathhouse in a large area around it.

Leg strength is the least valuable thing these days. Zhou Chen and the other two took their time and it took them half an hour to reach the public bathhouse.

"Juan'er, when you go in later, please hold on to my mother. The floor inside is slippery." Zhou Chen instructed Zheng Juan.

Zheng Juan responded very obediently: "I know, I will help Auntie."

Li Suhua said impatiently: "Go to your men's bathroom, we don't want you to ask so many questions."

What she was most satisfied with Zheng Juan was that she found that no matter what the matter was, as long as Zhou Chen asked, Zheng Juan would agree without any hesitation.

She felt that with such a personality, Zhou Chen would have the most say in the family after they got married, which would be beneficial to their future life.

The doors of public bathrooms were not big, and naturally could not be compared with the bright and glorious bathrooms decades later.

Zhou Chen was about to walk into the bathroom when he suddenly saw someone running out in a hurry.

"Give way, please give way."

Then I saw the people in the bathhouse pushed open the door, and a staff member at the back ran out carrying an old man on his back. The old man was still crying out in pain.

At the entrance of the bathhouse, a tricycle was parked there, and a large piece of wood was placed on the back of the tricycle.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

"The old man accidentally fell and needs to be rushed to the hospital."

The people in the bathhouse carefully placed the injured old man on the back of a tricycle. The old man was wearing only a single layer of clothing inside and a military coat outside. He lay on the back seat of the tricycle, hugging his legs and shouting in pain.

After the bathhouse staff dropped the old man off, they prepared to ride their tricycle to the hospital, but were stopped because they were only wearing a short-sleeved work suit.

"Go inside and change your clothes."

When Zhou Chen saw this scene, he inexplicably felt a little familiar. He couldn't help but think of the beginning of the TV series, where Zhou Bingkun seemed to have rescued Ma Shouchang who had fallen at the bathroom door. Could it be that this old man was Ma Shouchang?

In the TV series "The World in the World", Zhou Bingkun has many benefactors. In addition to Shao Jingwen, Ma Shouchang and the old couple Qu Xiuzhen are definitely Zhou Bingkun's benefactors.

If this old man is Ma Shouchang, then we certainly can't just sit back and do nothing.

Zhou Chen saw that Zheng Juan and Li Suhua had already entered the bathroom, so he walked towards the tricycle.

"Did he fall? I know a little bit about medicine, how about I help take a look?"

The bathhouse staff who was guarding the old man looked at Zhou Chen and asked, "Are you really a doctor?"

"I'm not a doctor, I just know a little bit about medicine."

Zhou Chen walked directly to the old man, grabbed his legs and took a look. His action made the old man scream again.

"My legs, don't move my legs."

Zhou Chen said: "There should be some bone fractures, but the details need to be observed carefully."

"What should we do?"

"What else can we do? Send him to the hospital."

Zhou Chen said to the people in the bathhouse: "Well, I'll take him to the hospital first."

When the bathhouse staff heard this, they were overjoyed and said directly: "Okay, I'll leave it to you. Thank you, young man."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the bathhouse, as if he was afraid that Zhou Chen would go back on his word.

Zhou Chen was also a little speechless. It was really realistic. But he was a doctor after all. There was no way he could just sit back and do nothing when the patient was in front of him.

So he didn't think about anything else, but took off his coat and covered the old man's legs.

"Uncle, there is something wrong with your bones. I will take you to the hospital now."

"Go to 131, go to 131..."

The 131st Hospital belongs to the military district hospital. When Zhou Chen heard the old man say this, he was sure that the old man must be Ma Shouchang.

In fact, he had never thought about making special efforts to get to know Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen, because his current job was good and he didn't need their help, so naturally he didn't think about contacting them deliberately.

But who would have thought that fate was so strange. He didn't expect to get to know him, but instead ran into Ma Shouchang by accident.

Zhou Chen pedaled the tricycle at a very fast speed. In fact, he had already seen where Ma Shouchang was injured. For a young man, it was not serious, but Ma Shouchang looked to be around fifty years old. As he was old, his bones were much more fragile than those of young people, so he felt particularly painful.

"Young man, give me your clothes, don't get cold."

Ma Shouchang endured the pain and said to Zhou Chen.

Although he was in great pain just now, he also understood the situation clearly. This young man was more proactive than the bathhouse staff. He not only covered him with clothes, but also sent him to the hospital personally.

Zhou Chen: "It's okay, I'm in good health, and I'm riding a bike, so I won't get cold."

In fact, this place is closer to the Municipal Hospital, but Ma Shouchang insisted on going to No. 131, so he had to take a detour and go to No. 131 Hospital.

After sending Ma Shouchang to the hospital, Zhou Chen rode his tricycle back to the bathhouse. The hospital even asked someone to ask him his name, and he did not hesitate and directly said his name.

He had not originally planned to make friends with Ma Shouchang and his wife, but since he had met them, and since they were good people, it would be beneficial to make friends with them.

When I returned to the bathhouse, more than an hour had passed and Li Suhua and Zheng Juan were already waiting at the door.

Seeing Zhou Chen coming back on a tricycle, they both ran over eagerly to ask what was going on.

Zhou Chen simply explained it to them briefly, and then asked them to go into the bathhouse hall and wait for a while. He would go in and take a shower and come out.

…………

After the meeting, Zhou Chen returned to the office with Shao Jingwen.

In the second half of this year, Liu Xingyuan was demoted to the logistics department due to his age. Zhou Chen took over Liu Xingyuan's position because of his outstanding work ability and now works in the same office with Shao Jingwen.

Although Zhou Chen has not yet been awarded the title of deputy editor-in-chief, his salary has been improved. President Wang of the publishing house has promised him that his level will be raised within two years.

Working in the same office with Shao Jingwen, the two became even closer.

"Teacher Shao, thank you so much for the house matter."

Shao Jingwen smiled and said, "It's just a small thing, no need to thank me, and it's just a coincidence that Lao Zhu has to go to his son's place to take care of his grandson, otherwise I wouldn't have found a house for you so quickly."

"Thank you too. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to rent this house."

Because Zhou Chen was planning to marry Zheng Juan, he wanted to find a place to live. The old house in Guangzipian was too inconvenient, so he not only wanted to move out by himself, but also wanted to take Li Suhua with him.

It is difficult to buy a house now, so he can only find a way to rent one. He looked at many houses, but they were either too remote, too small, or too expensive.

Shao Jingwen knew that he wanted to rent a house. Coincidentally, a retired cadre from the publishing house happened to have a three-bedroom bungalow. Because their son lived in another city, they planned to go to their son's place to take care of their grandson, so they thought of renting out the house.

After Shao Jingwen found out, he told Zhou Chen and took Zhou Chen to see it.

Zhou Chen looked at the house and felt very satisfied. The house was a bungalow with an area of ​​more than 160 square meters. It had three bedrooms, a separate kitchen, bathroom, dining room and living room, and a small enclosed yard at the door.

The house is a bit similar to the one Zhou Bingkun bought in the TV series, the one he was cheated of. It's just not as fashionable as that house, but the area is not much different.

What makes Zhou Chen most satisfied is that this house is in a good location. It is very close to the publishing house and in the city center, and there are shops, hospitals, schools and so on around it.

The house is nice, but the rent is really not cheap. The starting price is 150 a year.

You have to know that in this era, the average worker's monthly salary is only more than 70 yuan. Zhou Chen bargained and finally it became yuan a year.

70 yuan is really a lot in this era. Houses are very cheap nowadays. For a house like this, if it is not in a good location, it is already very good if it can be rented for 3 or 4 yuan a month.

The reason why Zhou Chen was willing to give so much was because the other party was willing to keep all the cabinets, tables, chairs and other furniture.

If this house were to be sold, it would be great if it could be sold for one thousand.

It’s a pity that the house cannot be sold and Zhou Chen doesn’t have that much cash, otherwise he really wants to buy it.

"Bingkun, I have to go on a business trip next month, so I'll leave the magazine to you."

During the company meeting today, Shao Jingwen received a task and had to go on a business trip, so he greeted Zhou Chen in advance.

The reason for the business trip was to go outside the province to invite someone. I heard that the other party was a very famous writer, so the editor-in-chief Shao Jingwen had to go in person.

"No problem, don't worry about the magazine, just leave it to me."

After working at Golden Land magazine for three years, Zhou Chen had already figured out everything about it. If he had not been unwilling to stand out, he could have expanded the size of the publishing house several times. It is very easy to manage a small magazine.

Shao Jingwen left on the third day and took the train to Su Province, leaving Zhou Chen alone in the office.

Zhou Chen was concentrating on reviewing the manuscript. After Shao Jingwen left, all his work became Zhou Chen's, so Zhou Chen was much busier than before.

"Jingle Bell……"

The old-fashioned landline phone rang, and Zhou Chen picked up the phone: "Hello, this is Golden Land magazine."

"Excuse me, is Editor Zhou Bingkun here? There's a comrade named Cai Xiaoguang outside, looking for Editor Zhou Bingkun."

"Cai Xiaoguang?"

Zhou Chen was very surprised to hear that it was Cai Xiaoguang who was looking for him. His relationship with Cai Xiaoguang was only because of Zhou Rong. They had only met once after Zhou Rong left, when Cai Xiaoguang came to Zhou's house to explain the situation, and they had not seen each other since then.

He had no connection with Cai Xiaoguang, but Cai Xiaoguang suddenly came to him and found the publishing house. Could it be related to Zhou Rong?

Although he was confused, Zhou Chen still replied: "I am Zhou Bingkun, Cai Xiaoguang is my friend, let him in."

Not long after, Zhou Chen heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw Cai Xiaoguang, wearing blue work clothes, standing at the door.

Zhou Chen immediately stood up and walked over: "Brother Xiaoguang, come in and sit down."

Cai Xiaoguang walked into the office, looked around, and praised: "Bingkun, I've heard that you work in a publishing house. This is your first time here. It seems that you are doing well here."

Zhou Chen said modestly: "What's good about it? It's just to make a living. Brother Xiaoguang, I heard that my uncle has resumed his work and has been promoted to a higher level. I might have to trouble you in the future. You can't pretend not to know me then."

"Haha, Bingkun, I haven't seen you for a long time. You speak so nicely now."

Cai Xiaoguang laughed out loud. After his father's recovery, he could indeed be said to be in high spirits. Now he was doing very well in the tractor factory and had become the office director.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Chen asked, "Brother Xiaoguang, you probably don't come to see me for no reason. You came to see me today. Did Zhou Rong contact you?"

"That's not the case. I haven't contacted Zhou Rong for a long time. I also want to ask you how Zhou Rong is doing in your province and whether she is used to the life there."

Speaking of Zhou Rong, Cai Xiaoguang's eyes seemed to light up. Even though three years have passed, his status as a bootlicker has not changed.
