The world of film and television begins from childhood

So after work that day, Zhou Chen went to the sawmill to find Xiao Guoqing.

As soon as Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao came out of the sawmill gate, they saw Zhou Chen waiting outside.

"Kun'er."

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao rode over. Sun Ganchao asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Chen looked at Xiao Guoqing and said, "I came here specifically to wait for Guoqing."

Xiao Guoqing was not so oblique. Hearing Zhou Chen's words, he was shocked and asked without thinking, "Did Uncle reply?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Well, my dad agreed. Let's go back to Guangzi now. Call Wu Qian to help clean up the house. After all, no one has lived here for a long time."

Xiao Guoqing was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, we'll go back now. I'll ask Wu Qian to clean up. Kun'er, don't worry, we promise to protect your house well, and there will be absolutely no problems when we return it to you."

These days, Wu Qian has been nagging in his ear, and he has long been unable to bear it. If his back could be straightened, he would have beaten her long ago.

Now that he heard that Zhou Chen agreed to let them move there, all his depression was immediately released and he felt particularly good.

Sun Ganchao listened for a while and finally understood what was going on.

"Guoqing, are you living in a rented house with Kun'er?"

Xiao Guoqing was very happy at this time and answered without hesitation: "Yes, the New Year is coming soon, my sister and her family will be back, and there is really no place to live at home. Kun'er and her family will not go home for the New Year, so we thought of borrowing their house to live in until after the New Year."

After hearing this, Sun Ganchao couldn't help but say, "Then you have to thank Kun'er very much."

Xiao Guoqing immediately said, "Of course, Kun'er, we'll have a drink at my house tonight. Come on, too. The three of us brothers will have a good time."

Zhou Chen did not refuse, but just said: "Just eat it casually, we still have to clean up the house."

After two days of cleaning the house, Wu Qian couldn't wait to urge Xiao Guoqing to move into the Zhou family.

Although it was not the first time she came to the Zhou family’s house, she mainly came to clean and tidy up the past two days. Now, she was here to stay, so Wu Qian’s mood was naturally different.

"This house is really big, Guoqing, why didn't your family think of building a bigger one? Look, Zhou Bingkun's family has two rooms. If your family had two rooms, why would we need to borrow a house?"

Wu Qian's tone, which was both envious and complaining, made Xiao Guoqing very dissatisfied.

"You already knew our family's financial situation before we got married. The reason Kun'er and his family can have such a house is because his father is capable."

Wu Qian curled her lips and wanted to ask why your dad is not as capable as others?

But she also knew that if she really said it, there might be another fight, so she wisely didn't say it and walked around the room happily.

"Guoqing, it would be great if this house was ours. Even if we have children in the future, we can give them a separate room."

Xiao Guoqing hit back, "What are you thinking about? This house was lent to us by Kun'er. It's someone else's house. We're going to move out after the New Year. Stop daydreaming here."

"I think it's no good. They are all like you, with no ambition at all. Look at Zhou Bingkun. He used to live in Guangzi Pian just like you, but now he is the leader of a publishing house and lives in a big house in the city, a big house with three bedrooms. I have never lived in a house like that in my life."

Thinking of the last time she went to Zhou Chen's house, she couldn't help but feel jealous. That house was really great. If she could have a house like that, her life would be worth it.

"How come Zheng Juan is so lucky? She lives in Taiping Hutong and has a family. Why did Zhou Bingkun fall in love with her? I am better than her."

"Forget it."

Xiao Guoqing shook his head in disdain and hit her again, "I'm not as good as Kun'er, I admit that, but you say you're better than Zheng Juan, then you think too highly of yourself. Although Zheng Juan lives in Taiping Hutong, she has a good personality, is diligent and filial, and all the big and small things in her family are taken care of by Zheng Juan alone. If it were you, would you be able to do it?"

Wu Qian retorted: "Why can't I? Oh, from the tone of your voice, you think I'm not as good as Zheng Juan? She has a good personality, so I have a bad personality? I'm not diligent and filial?"

"hehe."

Xiao Guoqing responded with a disdainful sneer. After three months of marriage, he had already figured out what kind of person Wu Qian was. Apart from her mouth, how could she compare to Zheng Juan?

"You, okay, I won't argue with you. Anyway, even if you don't like me, you have to endure it."

Wu Qian was so happy that she could live separately from her parents-in-law for a while, so she didn't bother to care what Xiao Guoqing thought at this moment.

"Kun'er is the same. This house is completely spacious for them. Why do they have to move there? I heard him say that the rent there alone is 70 yuan a year. Why spend that money?"

Xiao Guoqing couldn't understand Zhou Chen's thoughts. Although he admitted that the house was big and nice, it cost money. It was not like living at home where he didn't have to spend a penny and lived comfortably without worrying about being kicked out by the landlord.

Wu Qian said: "So, you are not as good as Zhou Bingkun. Zhou Bingkun has the confidence to rent a house. This Guangzi apartment is shabby and not even half as good as where he lives now. If it were me, I would choose that place too."

"Seventy yuan may be a lot of money for us, but for others, it is only one or two months' salary. So I say, Zheng Juan is enjoying a good life by following her. Unlike me, I have to live in someone else's house by following you."

Xiao Guoqing suddenly put down the things in his hand and cursed: "You woman, can you stop talking nonsense all day long? If you think I am incompetent, why did you follow me in the first place? No matter how bad I am, Xiao Guoqing, I am still a regular worker."

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't argue with you. You are a worker, you are capable. Okay, I am too lazy to talk to you. I will go make the bed."

The two of them spent half a day packing up before they put down all their things and sat on the kang, with Xiao Guoqing smoking a cigarette.

"I've thought about it. There's another room. I'll let my eldest sister and brother-in-law stay there during the New Year."

Wu Qian jumped up suddenly like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"What did you say? Let your elder sister and brother-in-law come to live here, Xiao Guoqing, are you crazy? This is a house we borrowed, why should we let them live here?"

Xiao Guoqing said angrily: "That's my sister, my real sister. We have two rooms here, why can't we let them stay here?"

"I don't agree. I don't agree anyway."

"It's useless even if you disagree. I am the boss of this family. I borrowed this house from Kun'er. It's not your turn to make the decision."

"Xiao Guoqing, what kind of man are you? You only care about your family. Have you ever thought about me?"

"Wu Qian, you are simply unreasonable."

On the first day they moved into Zhou's house, the two almost got into a fight.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, Zhou Chen met Shui Ziliu.

"This is the money you deserve, and this is the account book."

In the private room of the hotel, Shui Ziliu placed the account book and money in front of Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen did not hesitate to take the money, then opened the account book and looked at it for a few minutes. He was extremely sensitive to numbers, and he was able to calculate the result after just a few glances, and there was indeed no mistake.

"More than 1,200 yuan, such a sum of money, is handed over to me so easily. Would you feel uncomfortable?"

Their cooperation model is that after deducting employees' wages, the remaining net profit is divided equally.

Zhou Chen's main job was to give advice, help with contacts and find work, while Shui Ziliu was responsible for the physical work and leading people to transport goods. Of course, the main hard work was still done by the hired employees.

Shui Ziliu had a calm expression and said slowly, "I know very well that this was all thanks to you. Without your help, I would not have made so much money. Selling brute force is far from being as good as using your brain."

When he was in the underworld, he was the one who used his brain and his subordinates all listened to him. Now the situation is reversed. Naturally, he would not feel unbalanced because he felt that Zhou Chen did less than him.

Although this logistics business is relatively hard, when things are good, he can earn more than a hundred yuan a month, which is enough for him to live on. Even with the support of Luo Shibin, who is in a vegetative state, it is more than enough.

Zhou Chen had been observing Shui Ziliu. He realized that Shui Ziliu was not lying and his attitude was very sincere.

Before this business started, he was actually the one who provided the start-up capital. When he gave the money, he wanted to use the skill of money to clear the way for water to flow, but after thinking about it, he decided not to use it.

He seldom uses this skill, because it can only be used once per film and television circle, so he thinks he should be cautious, as there may be a time in the future when he will need this skill more.

From the current perspective, it was right not to use this skill. Shui Ziliu did a good job and did not act hypocritically. This also shows that Shui Ziliu is a person who knows the times.

After having a meal with Shui Ziliu and chatting for a few hours, Zhou Chen left.

During this year's Spring Festival, there are more than just Zhou Chen and Li Suhua in the Zhou family. There is also Zheng Juan. At the same time, Zhou Chen also called Aunt Zheng and Zheng Guangming to come over, and everyone celebrates the New Year together.

With more people around, the house naturally becomes more lively, and this year's New Year is more fulfilling than the previous ones.

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Guoqing came to find Zhou Chen with the key.

"Kun'er, this is the key to your house. We have cleaned up the house. Thank you, Kun'er."

Zhou Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be so polite. You are in trouble, and as a brother, of course I have to help you."

Xiao Guoqing was even more moved. "No more words to say, Kun'er. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

This Spring Festival, thanks to Zhou Chen's help, their whole family didn't have to squeeze on the same kang, so there were no conflicts and everyone was happy.

However, when he decided to return the house, Wu Qian quarreled with him for several days. Not only was she unwilling to return it, she also asked him to go find Zhou Chen again and ask Zhou Chen to continue to let them live in the house.

This made Xiao Guoqing very angry, and the two of them had a big fight. Finally, Xiao Guoqing, who could no longer bear it, slapped Wu Qian and sent her back to her parents' home. But he did not care about it. Instead, he cleaned up the Zhou family's house first and handed the key to Zhou Chen.

He is honest but not stupid. He knows very well what Wu Qian is thinking. However, Zhou Chen is his brother. It is already a great honor for him to lend them the house for the New Year.

Moreover, they had agreed at that time to return the house after the New Year. Now he wants to continue living there, but he doesn't have the nerve to do so.

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Juan was about to give birth. Zhou Chen had been keeping an eye on Zheng Juan these days.

Because of his attention, Zheng Juan has had no problems during the several months of pregnancy and is in very good health.

Even though an ultrasound cannot be performed now, Zhou Chen can be sure that there is nothing wrong with the fetus, and if the delivery is normal, Zheng Juan will definitely have no problem at all.

On the 16th day of the second lunar month, Zheng Juan successfully gave birth to a baby boy in the municipal hospital. This was also Zhou Chen's first child in this world.

When Zheng Juan was giving birth, a group of people blocked the door of the delivery room, waiting anxiously, especially Li Suhua and Aunt Zheng, who were several times more nervous than Zhou Chen.

After giving birth, Zheng Juan stayed in the hospital for three days and then went home. It's not like later, when you can stay as long as you want. Now, most people stay for one or two days and then go home.

Zheng Juan stayed in the hospital for three days, and it was Zhou Chen who forced her to stay. Later, when he saw that the conditions in the hospital were really poor, he did not insist and took Zheng Juan and the child back home.

Because Zheng Juan gave birth to a child, Zhou Chen took a ten-day leave from the company to take care of Zheng Juan at home.

The child's name was Zhou Rui, which was given by Zhou Chen himself. Li Suhua originally wanted Zhou Zhigang to help choose a name, but Zhou Zhigang was very unhappy that Zhou Chen had concealed his marriage to Zheng Juan from him, and he did not mention the name in his reply.

Zhou Chen was too lazy to argue with him. If he didn't want to name the child, then so be it. It was his own child anyway, so he could name him himself.

On the second night after returning home, Qiao Chunyan brought her mother and Cao Debao to visit Zhou Chen's house.

"Oh, Kun'er's mom, congratulations, congratulations to you."

As soon as Chunyan's mother saw Li Suhua, she laughed and congratulated her, making Li Suhua's face full of smiles.

"Sister, you are here. Come in and sit down and take a look at the child. This child looks exactly like Bingkun when he was a child. He is so cute."

"Really? Then I'd like to take a closer look. I saw Bingkun when he was a child."

Li Suhua brought a few people to Zhou Chen's room. Zhou Chen saw them and greeted them, "Aunt, Chunyan, Debao, you are here."

Chunyan's mother smiled and congratulated: "Bingkun, congratulations on becoming a father. I thought your elder brother Bingyi would have a child first, but I didn't expect that you would have a son first. If your father knew, he would be very happy."

Having a son is indeed a big deal these days, especially for the older generation, as boys represent inheritance.

Zhou Chen smiled but said nothing. Cao Debao also congratulated him at the right time, and Qiao Chunyan patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder in a familiar manner.

"Brother, you have a son. Aren't you very happy?"

"Fortunately."

"I'm telling you, brother, Juan'er gave birth to your son. She's a great contributor. You have to treat her well in the future."

Zhou Chen said: "Of course, Chunyan, didn't you go to work today?"

"I left work early specifically to come visit my oldest nephew."

As she spoke, she walked over to Zheng Juan and chatted with her for a few words while her mother and Li Suhua were looking after the child.

Seeing the girls chatting animatedly, Zhou Chen said to Cao Debao, "Debao, let's go out and sit for a while."

"Okay."

The two of them sat down on the sofa, and Zhou Chen asked first: "I heard that Qu Shuji was transferred?"

Cao Debao: "Yes, Qu Shuji was transferred to the sugar factory and is no longer in the soy sauce factory, but she still comes to chat with us occasionally."

“How is the soy sauce factory doing now?”

"I'm not sure about that. I'm just a laborer in the slag removal workshop. How can I know so much?"

Zhou Chen chatted with Cao Debao from time to time. Actually, he and Cao Debao didn't have much in common, but since the other person came to see the child, he couldn't show any displeasure and had to chat with him calmly.

After they chatted for a while, Qiao Chunyan walked out of the bedroom and sat down next to Zhou Chen.

"Brother, I heard from Zheng Juan that my eldest nephew's name is Zhou Rui, and it was you who gave him the name. You are indeed a cultured person. This name is nice and has a good meaning. Zhou Rui, Zhou Rui, this child will definitely be very smart in the future, just like you, brother."

Zhou Chen said: "I just picked a name randomly. As for you, you will give birth in a few months."

Cao Debao and Qiao Chunyan also got married in 73, but a few months later than Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan. Qiao Chunyan has been pregnant for several months and will give birth soon.

Qiao Chunyan said with emotion: "Yes, the baby will be born in a few months. The children of our two families were born in the same year. This is fate."

"It is indeed fate."

Cao Debao suddenly winked at Qiao Chunyan, who looked back and nodded.

Qiao Chunyan suddenly sighed, "Before, when it was just me and Debao, we didn't feel anything, but as our belly grew bigger, we both felt a lot of pressure. This child is about to be born, and we have to be responsible for him. We can't let him suffer with us from a young age. Don't you think this is the truth, brother?"

These sudden words made Zhou Chen feel confused. He felt that Qiao Chunyan was saying something with hidden meaning, so he just nodded and said nothing.

Qiao Chunyan's eyes rolled around, and she said in a low voice, "Ah, you said Debao and I have been married for such a long time, and he still lives in my house. You don't know how unpleasant the neighbors are. They all say that Debao is a live-in son-in-law, which makes Debao unable to hold his head up."

Zhou Chen looked astonished. It was common knowledge that Cao Debao was a son-in-law. How come he couldn't hold his head up now? Did he hold his head up before?
