The world of film and television begins from childhood

Even though he had no impression of him at all, he learned a lot of stories about his father from his second uncle Zhou Liangping. Zhou Chen admired this sacrificed war hero from the bottom of his heart.

It is because of heroes like these that our country can have a stable life in the future.

"Xiaochen, Second Uncle said that after you come back, you should rest for a while. After you have rested, he will find a way to arrange a job for you. If Second Uncle doesn't have a good company, I will ask your brother-in-law to think of a way, so don't worry."

Zhou Yi said in a low voice, she knew her brother must have suffered a lot when he was sent to the countryside to work, so she wanted her brother to recuperate and get his health back in shape first.

As for life, she was not worried at all. Not to mention her second uncle and second aunt, even the couple could provide Zhou Chen with good living conditions.

Zhou Chen did not refuse, but smiled and replied: "I know, sister, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine, although Xiaoqinghe is poor, but you can still eat enough, I'm really fine; but you wrote to me before, saying that my little niece was born, why didn't you bring her here today?"

Zhou Yi: "She is too young. I am afraid that she will come and delay my work, so I asked a neighbor to help take care of her for a day. Your brother-in-law will take her to your second uncle's house in the evening, and you will be able to see her then."

"Oh."

Zhou Chen nodded, then asked hesitantly: "Sister, didn't I tell you before that you and your brother-in-law can live here, but I see that you are not living here at home."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Yes, we lived here for a while. Later, your brother-in-law got a house and it was close to his workplace, so we moved there."

Zhou Chen knew that what Zhou Yi said was the truth. As far as he could remember, he also knew that brother-in-law, but he had not yet married his sister at that time.

His brother-in-law's surname is Sun, and his name is very impressive, Sun Dapeng. He is a very honest person. The reason why he was able to become a cadre in a large state-owned enterprise at a young age is because of the connections with the elders in his family.

Chapter 637 Longevity Begins with Health Preservation

Although no one has lived in this courtyard house for a long time, Zhou Yi comes to clean and tidy it up every once in a while, so it is very clean inside and out.

The mattress and quilt covers prepared for Zhou Chen were all new. Zhou Yi had already made the bed, and even the household necessities were all prepared.

"Xiaochen, I have prepared everything for you. If you think it is too troublesome to cook at home alone, then come to my place. I live with your brother-in-law. Your brother-in-law is usually very busy, so Xiaoya and I always eat together at noon."

Zhou Yi also worked in her husband Sun Dapeng's factory, but she could no longer go to work after she gave birth to a child.

The reason is also very simple.

That is, Sun Dapeng is not the only son of the Sun family. He has an older brother and a younger brother.

Although the Sun family is not as partial as other families, no matter what, as the brother in the middle, he is definitely not as valued as the eldest son, nor as favored as the younger brother.

Sun Dapeng is in this situation. His parents are taking care of the child at their old home, and Zhou Yi has no parents, so in the end Zhou Yi has to take care of the child herself.

Naturally she couldn't go to work while taking care of the child, and Zhou Yi was worried about leaving the child to someone else, so she had to come down and take care of her daughter herself.

Fortunately, even if Sun Dapeng works alone, he can support the mother and daughter.

It was already 75, and although food was still distributed in a rationed manner, Sun Dapeng, as a leader, was still able to receive some preferential treatment. He had enough food coupons, but it was not so easy to eat meat.

"No need, sister. I'm an adult now and can take care of myself. Don't worry about me."

Zhou Chen didn't want to run around just for a meal. It was too troublesome.

He didn't do housework before, not because he didn't know how to do it, but because he was too lazy to do it if someone else did it for him. He still knew how to cook, though.

Zhou Yi said, "How can you cook? I used to cook for you. Now I think I should move back. I don't have to work anymore, so I can take care of you and Xiaoya at the same time. It doesn't matter if Dapeng is alone."

"Don't."

Zhou Chen quickly refused: "Sister, I know you are good to me, but now you are married, you can't ignore your brother-in-law, you should just live your own life."

Hearing Zhou Yi say that she didn't even care about her husband, he was horrified. Is the system Voldemort's skill really that powerful?

But although Zhou Yi had such good intentions, he didn't dare to accept it. Feelings are relative, and he couldn't just take advantage of the fact that Zhou Yi was Voldemort and do something excessive.

Zhou Yi hesitated and said, "But I'm really worried about you being alone. Why don't you move in with your second uncle and his family?"

"Sister, please forgive me. I can be alone. I have no problem living alone. I have been alone all these years when I joined the team."

"That's different. You had no choice before, but now that you're home, I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone."

It is a happy thing to be cared for by others, but Zhou Chen would rather live alone than live in someone else's house. His second uncle and sister are relatives, but they all have their own families, and he doesn't want to interfere.

In order to quickly dispel Zhou Yi's idea and prevent her from coming up with any more methods, Zhou Chen quickly found a legitimate reason.

"Sister, just let me live alone. You see, I'm already 24 years old, and I can find a partner soon. It's so inconvenient for me to live with you guys."

He knew very well that a Voldemort like Zhou Yi would definitely put his brother's affairs first, and would definitely be distracted when he heard this.

Sure enough, Zhou Yi's eyes lit up when she heard Zhou Chen talking about finding a partner.

"Oh, Xiaochen, what you said makes sense. You are already 24 years old this year. If it weren't for queue-jumping, you might have already been married and had children."

"Yes, the most urgent task now is not only to find you a job, but also to find you a partner."

The more Zhou Yi talked, the more anxious she became. Married women seemed to be more enthusiastic about this kind of thing.

"Xiaochen, tell me what kind of girl you like and I'll find one for you right away. My brother is so outstanding, he must find an outstanding one."

Seeing that Zhou Yi was so anxious and wanted to go find her immediately, Zhou Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He is still in grief over the loss of Zheng Juan, so how could he have the mind to think about finding a wife? He said this just to find an excuse.

"Sister, you really don't need to worry about finding a partner. I like free love and don't like blind dates, so I can handle finding a partner on my own."

Zhou Yi was not so sure, "I don't mind your free love, but as a man, where can you find a partner? Could it be that you already have a girl you like? Is it the educated youth who went to the countryside with you, or the girl from the production team?"

When she mentioned this, her expression immediately became serious.

"Xiaochen, it's not that I won't find you a girl from the countryside, but the current policy is like this. If you find a girl from the countryside, your child won't be able to get a hukou in the city. Don't be foolish."

"Sister, what are you thinking? I don't have anyone I like, and I haven't found a local girlfriend. Don't let your imagination run wild."

Nowadays, it is very difficult to get an urban hukou. It is not easy for a woman from the countryside to transfer her hukou to the city when she marries. In the future, if she has children, the hukou will have to follow the mother.

Without a city hukou and without the rationed food provided by the street, life would be very difficult.

This is also the biggest reason why men in cities today are unwilling to date rural women.

But Zhou Chen knew that in the future, urban household registration would be worthless, and instead rural household registration would become valuable, and many people wanted to move their household registration back to the countryside.

All we can say is that society is changing, policies are constantly changing, and no one can predict what the future will be like.

Others don’t understand, but Zhou Chen does.

He is not at all opposed to finding a rural woman, but now he really has no intention of finding a wife.

"Really?" Zhou Yi asked worriedly.

"Not really."

Zhou Yi was completely relieved after getting a positive answer. She was afraid that her beloved brother would get too excited and she would not be able to stop him even if she wanted to.

In the evening, Zhou Chen rode Zhou Yi's bicycle and took him to his second uncle's house.

Speaking of my second uncle Zhou Liangping, he was also a miserable man. During the war, he witnessed the death of his eldest brother and younger brother with his own eyes.

Later, after he retired from the army, his career was good, but he had big problems in his family.

After he married his wife, they had three children, a son and two daughters. However, due to various accidents, two of the children died young, and now only one daughter is with him.

Among the descendants of the three brothers of the Zhou family, Zhou Chen is the only male left, so Zhou Liangping and his wife are particularly good to Zhou Chen.

Because Zhou Liangping is a combat hero and a reliable and smart person, he was not affected in this special era. Now he has become the deputy director of the branch, a position of high power.

When Zhou Chen arrived at his second uncle's house, his second uncle had not yet returned home from get off work. He first met his second aunt Mi Wen and cousin Zhou Qingqing.

"Second aunt."

"Xiaochen, come here quickly and show your aunt."

Second Aunt Mi Wen was very excited when she saw Zhou Chen, she pulled Zhou Chen closer and looked at her carefully.

Zhou Chen clearly discovered that there was something wrong with Mi Wen's eyes, and she squinted when she looked at him.

But he knew what happened. It was because of the early deaths of their two children that Second Aunt Mi Wen was so heartbroken that she cried all the time. Over time, this caused problems with her eyes.

Mi Wen took a serious look at Zhou Chen, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, our Xiaochen didn't lose much weight, but he got a lot darker. It seems that the production team was really hard."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's not that hard. It's just work. I'm a grown man, so that little bit of work is nothing to me."

Mi Wen immediately smiled and said, "Our Xiaochen has grown up and knows how to comfort his aunt. Well done."

Because she only had one daughter left, not only did Zhou Liangping treat Zhou Chen as his own son, she also treated Zhou Chen as her own son.

"Big brother."

Zhou Qingqing ran over with a smile on her face and looked at Zhou Chen happily: "Brother, you haven't been back for a few years. I missed you so much."

Zhou Qingqing is only a teenager this year and has just entered junior high school. She is cute and pretty, with a pair of big eyes that blink.

"Our Qingqing has grown so tall."

Zhou Chen gestured. The Zhou Qing in his memory was still very small, but now he was almost as tall as her shoulders.

Zhou Qingqing said with a smile: "Brother, do you have fun in the countryside? Can you see a lot of small animals?"

Because she was the only daughter left in her second uncle's family, Zhou Liangping and his wife kept a close eye on her, fearing that she might get into an accident. She had never left the city, so she was particularly curious about the countryside.

"You want to listen, if you want to listen, bring me something to eat, big brother is hungry."

Zhou Qingqing immediately jumped up and down and said, "Okay, big brother, come with me. There are a lot of delicious food in my room. Let's eat and talk."

She was controlled too well and too strictly by her parents and had almost no friends. In the past, her favorite thing was to follow Zhou Chen, because only when Zhou Chen was with her would her parents feel at ease and she could indulge herself a little.

But ever since Zhou Chen cut in line, she no longer has such a good opportunity.

Watching her daughter taking Zhou Chen away, Mi Wen didn't say anything. She knew how much her daughter missed Zhou Chen.

"Yier, let's go to the kitchen to cook."

The house of the second uncle's house is still very good, a standard three-bedroom and one-living room, Zhou Qingqing has her own room, and there are many things in the room.

Zhou Qingqing rummaged through the drawers and found her snacks, and placed them all in front of Zhou Chen.

"Brother, eat quickly and tell me about your queue-jumping after you finish eating."

Zhou Chen smiled, picked up the food and took a few bites, then told Zhou Qingqing some interesting things.

In fact, many things happened in the production team, but most of them were boring labor work. Even if there was free time, most of it was used for rest.

But Zhou Chen didn't need to tell all of that. He also told Zhou Qingqing many interesting stories. Zhou Qingqing, who had never heard of these things, was so happy that her eyes lit up.

"Brother, you are amazing. You know so much."

Zhou Chen smiled and patted Zhou Qingqing's head: "When you grow up, go to more places and see more, and you can be like me."

Hearing this, Zhou Qingqing looked frustrated: "My parents will definitely not allow it."

Zhou Chen comforted him: "When you grow up, your uncle and the others will allow it."

"really?"

Zhou Qingqing's eyes showed expectation, and then she murmured expectantly: "Then I really want to grow up quickly."

Zhou Chen smiled. His sister was too innocent. If he were her, he would not feel comfortable leaving her alone outside. What if she got cheated?

Sun Dapeng and his daughter Sun Xiaoya also came before dinner. Zhou Liangping didn't come back until after seven o'clock. After he came back, he was very happy to see Zhou Chen.

Zhou Liangping is in his forties. Although he used to be a soldier, he does not look rough but rather gentle and refined.

During dinner, Zhou Liangping also suggested that Zhou Chen come and stay with them, but Zhou Chen did not agree.

Zhou Liangping was much more open-minded than Zhou Yi. Seeing that Zhou Chen did not agree, he did not mention it again. Then he said the same thing again, asking Zhou Chen to rest at home for now. After a while, he would find a way to arrange a job for Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen didn't really care whether he worked or not. It just so happened that he was still feeling sentimental because of his experiences in the world, so it was good for him to be alone.

Before leaving, Second Aunt Mi Wen gave Zhou Chen several bags of things, including food, meat, some other things, and even several sets of clothes.

In the end, there were too many things, so my sister and brother-in-law sent him back.

Zhou Chen had experienced Yanjing in the 1970s. Although it was a few years earlier, there was actually not much difference.

Every day after getting up, Zhou Chen would stroll around the alleys, exercise, take a look at the surrounding environment, look for convenient places to buy things, etc.

As for touring Yanjing City, he really had no interest in it. He had lived in Yanjing for so many years and had been to many places. If he were alone, he had no interest in going out for fun.

Originally Zhou Chen thought that if he wanted to buy something, he could use the food coupons, meat coupons, industrial coupons, etc. that he received as rewards from the last mission.

But these days, he found that those things were of no use at all. Every time he hadn't finished using something, Zhou Yi would come and restock it for him.

In addition to Zhou Yi, his second aunt Mi Wen would occasionally bring things over, so that his family never lacked anything and did not need to go out to buy anything.

Zhou Yi even stuffed five hundred yuan into his pocket, telling him not to be reluctant to spend the money if he needed it.
