The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Yes, it was given to Mengmeng by the boy from the Han family. You didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so I took it. Later, Mengmeng looked at it and didn't want it back, so I put it in my room as a sewing box. Is this thing really worth that much money?"

Grandma Su couldn't help but ask again. One thousand yuan was a considerable amount of money for their family. This wooden box was actually worth so much money. Moreover, she heard from her son and daughter-in-law that it might be worth even more money. How could she not care?

Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally Su Hongwen said, "Since Han Chunming gave it to Mengmeng, we can't sell it. Let's wait for Mengmeng to come back, tell her about it, and let her decide for herself."

Grandma Su agreed, "You are right. This was given to Meng Meng by the Han family boy. We can't just dispose of it casually."

Liu Xueqin asked: "What about Xiao Wu today? Should we still call him?"

Su Hongwen thought for a moment and said, "Don't call for now, but keep the phone and talk about it later."

"Okay, I'll keep it."

When Su Meng came back in the evening, Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin told her what happened, and Su Meng was also shocked.

"Is this true? Is this wooden box really that valuable?"

Su Hongwen said: "That can't be said. Xiao Wu is willing to pay a thousand, but others may not. It may be more, but it may also be less."

Liu Xueqin said: "Mengmeng, why don't you return this thing to Chunming? We can't take advantage of others."

"Mengmeng, your mother is right. This is not ours after all. Although Chunming gave it to you, we didn't know its value before. Now that we know its value, we can't pretend to be ignorant and take advantage of it."

Su Meng hesitated and said, "This was given to me by Chunming four years ago. How can I return it now?"

"Besides, Han Chunming may not be short of money now. Look at our alley, who can afford a motorcycle? Only Han Chunming can afford it. Maybe he doesn't care about it at all."

In fact, when she knew that the wooden box Han Chunming gave her was worth so much money, she was very happy, because she felt that Han Chunming valued her.

But Liu Xueqin didn't think so. Even though Han Chunming seemed to be rich now, in her eyes, he was still a second-rate man who had no ambition, no future, and was cynical. He was not worthy of her daughter at all.

So she hoped that her daughter could return the things to Han Chunming and draw a clear line between herself and Han Chunming.

"Meng Meng, no matter if they care or not, now that we know about it, we should just give it back to them."

"Mom, didn't I tell you that this gift was given to me by Han Chunming four years ago? Why am I giving it back to him now?"

"No matter when it was made, it should be returned to Chunming."

Seeing his wife forcing his daughter, Su Hongwen interrupted and said, "Xueqin, that's enough. My daughter knows what's going on. Don't say anything."

Although he didn't think much of Han Chunming and felt that he was not worthy of his daughter, he was not as wary of him as his wife was. He valued his daughter's thoughts more.

When Su Meng saw her father speaking for her, she quickly picked up the box and ran back to her room.

Staying in her room, Su Meng looked at the huanghuali box and thought for a long time. In the end, she still couldn't make up her mind to return it because she really couldn't bear to part with it.

She was reluctant to give up the box not because of its value, but because of Han Chunming's feelings for her.

This thing is a treasure, but Han Chunming gave it to her without hesitation a few years ago, which is enough to show how much Han Chunming cares about him.

Although she now feels that Han Chunming is not worthy of her, she enjoys Han Chunming's kindness to her and hopes that Han Chunming can still revolve around her like before.

After much deliberation, Su Meng finally decided not to return the wooden box to Han Chunming for the time being.

After Wu Jingui separated from the Su couple, he walked around and then came to Zhou Chen's courtyard.

"How is it?" Zhou Chen asked when he saw Wu Jingui coming back.

Wu Jingui replied: "It went smoothly. I told them everything you said. Judging from their expressions, they believed it."

Zhou Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Thank you for your hard work, Old Wu."

Wu Jingui smiled and said, "What kind of hard work is this? It's just running errands and talking a few words."

Zhou Chen said, "Don't go back tonight. Let's have a drink together, stay at my place for one night, and go back tomorrow."

Wu Jingui thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I left them my phone number. If they call me today and I'm not in the dormitory, it will be a bit troublesome. I'd better go back."

"What you said makes sense, Old Wu. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. Instead, I should be the one thanking you."

"Don't say that. You really helped me a lot. Let's have a drink after we're done."

"it is good."

…………

As graduation was approaching and there were no classes to attend, Zhou Chen had nothing to do, so he took a bottle of wine and went to Grandpa Guan's house.

"Look what I brought you, old man."

As soon as Zhou Chen stepped into the yard, he saw Grandpa Guan lying on a recliner and spoke to him with a smile.

As soon as Mr. Guan heard Zhou Chen's voice, his eyes opened.

"Haha, as soon as I heard your voice, I knew there was good wine to drink."

Zhou Chen handed over what he had in his hand. When Grandpa Guan took it and looked at it, the smile on his face widened.

"Another good wine for five dollars. You are more generous than my apprentice. I don't know what that boy has been busy with recently. He hasn't come for a long time. As a result, I can only drink wine that costs one dollar and one cent."

Mr. Guan is not short of money, but he doesn't dare to be too high-profile. When he goes shopping for groceries and wine alone, he always buys cheap ones.

Only when Han Chunming and Zhou Chen came would they bring him good wine.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Chunming has been very busy recently. Even I don't know where he has gone."

Of course he knew what Han Chunming was doing now. In addition to the scrap business, Han Chunming was also engaged in smuggling business.

Otherwise, how could he afford a motorcycle? His motorcycle costs several thousand dollars.

Zhou Chen helped Mr. Guan into the house, watched him drink, chatted with him about antiques for a while, and then prepared to leave.

But before he stood up, Grandpa Guan suddenly asked, "Zhou Chen, are you free tomorrow?"

Zhou Chen said, "I'm just waiting to graduate now, so I don't have many classes. Grandpa, do you have any instructions?"

He still admired Grandpa Guan very much. The books that Grandpa Guan gave him helped him a lot and allowed him to learn a lot of knowledge and experience that could not be learned from books.

Although Grandpa Guan did not teach him in person, to Zhou Chen, Grandpa Guan could be considered half a teacher.

As long as what Mr. Guan said was not something particularly difficult, he would naturally not refuse.

Mr. Guan didn't answer directly, but asked again: "Then can you get a four-wheeler?"

Hearing this description, Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Of course, no problem, old man. Do you need a car tomorrow? Whenever you need it, I will drive the car over to pick you up personally."

Grandpa Guan nodded in satisfaction and said, "My granddaughter will be back from abroad tomorrow. You drive me and we will go to the airport to pick up my granddaughter."

"Your granddaughter?"

Zhou Chen was surprised. He had watched the TV series, so he naturally knew that Grandpa Guan had a granddaughter who was also an important supporting character in the TV series and would marry Han Chunming's follower Li Chengtao in the future.

However, since he met Mr. Guan, he has never seen his granddaughter. It turns out that she has not returned from abroad yet.

"Yes, your grandadmiral grandfather's only granddaughter was taken abroad by my unfilial son and disrespectful daughter-in-law when she was young. Now she has grown up. I am worried that if she stays abroad any longer, she will even forget her ancestors, so I let her come back."

When talking about his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. Guan, who was always calm and composed, as if he didn't care about anything, showed an angry expression.

Zhou Chen thought of the behavior of Mr. Guan’s son and daughter-in-law in the TV series, and agreed with what he said very much.

"Grandpa, you made the right decision. No matter how good foreign countries are, they are not as good as our own country."

"Ah, you hit the nail on the head. I know what foreigners are like better than anyone else. How can China, a great country, be compared to them?"

"That's right. Although our country is still lagging behind, it won't be long before we can catch up with those so-called powerful countries. I dare not say anything else, but one thing is that our country is much safer than those so-called powerful countries."

Zhou Chen has lived for several decades, so he is very clear about the future direction of the world. That beautiful country that is praised to the sky is not as safe as our country. If you go there, even your life safety cannot be guaranteed.

"Haha, kid, well said. I've been waiting for this day too."

Zhou Chen asked: "Grandpa, when should I come to pick you up tomorrow?"

"He said the plane will arrive at 2pm. Please come pick me up early."

"Okay, then I'll borrow a car tomorrow morning and bring some food to you at noon."

"Okay, that's it."

"clear."

Buying a car is not a difficult thing for Zhou Chen, although he does not have much savings now, because he has used all his money to buy cultural relics.

He basically visited all the large and small cultural relics shops in Yanjing. With this kind of shopping, spending money was easy for him.

He did not engage in reselling business like Han Chunming, but in the past few years, he did not stop making money while he was in school.

It's just that because I'm in college and I don't want to waste too much energy and life, I didn't make a big fuss about doing business to make money.

But it was still easy for him to go out and borrow a car.

After leaving Grandpa Guan’s house, Zhou Chen went straight to the library.

After he went to college four years ago, he did not lose contact with the library. After all, there was still translation work there that allowed him to earn extra money.

For him, translating books is easy and free, and it can also bring him a good income, so he naturally would not give up.

Four years have passed, the former director has retired, and the current director is Zhao Lijie. The title of "deputy" was officially removed from his head last year.

Zhou Chen was planning to borrow a car from Zhao Lijie. As the director of a large library, he was naturally qualified to have a car.

Things went very smoothly. Zhou Chen came to the library and talked to Zhao Lijie. Not long after, he drove away in Zhao Lijie's car.

Zhao Lijie's assigned car is a Roma jeep, which is the model used by most cadres in the country now. This car is not new and is difficult to drive, but this is not a problem for Zhou Chen.

When Zhou Chen drove the jeep back to the alley, he immediately attracted countless onlookers.

It was only 82, and cars were still very rare these days, especially in alleys like theirs, where cars were rarely seen.

Zhou Chen drove the car to the door of his house. Before he got out of the car, he saw Han Chunyan standing at the door.

Zhou Chen got out of the car and walked towards Han Chunyan: "Chunyan, why are you here?"

Four years have passed, and Han Chunyan has still not married and is still waiting for him. Zhou Chen has also fallen in love with her and no longer deliberately distances himself from Han Chunyan, nor does he reject her anymore.

Although the two have not confirmed their relationship yet, Zhou Chen has gradually let down his guard and started trying to accept Han Chunyan.

A woman can wait for you for seven years, and she has never had a date in those seven years, waiting for you wholeheartedly.

Zhou Chen felt that he was still not hard-hearted enough, and time had gradually smoothed out his sadness in the previous world, so he had not yet thought about finding a woman.

But I have thought that if I were to find a woman in this world, it would be best to find a woman who loves me.

As a man who is determined to live to be over 100 years old, he doesn't need to give up women, but he can't indulge in them either.

Beauty is not the first factor Zhou Chen considers when looking for a woman. After so many lives, he has seen too many beautiful women, and most of the beautiful women can be tossed around.

If you want to live long, it is better not to look for women who are troublesome, or women with bad temper and big ambitions.

After much thought, finding a woman with a good personality who loves herself more than anything else is undoubtedly the best choice.

Therefore, even though Han Chunyan was not the best woman, she definitely met his standards for looking for a woman in this world.

Han Chunyan smiled and raised the thermos in her hand, saying, "I made a pot of chicken soup today and brought it over for you to try and see if my cooking skills have improved."

Zhou Chen is already 31 years old this year, and Han Chunyan, who is one year older than Zhou Chen, is already 32 years old this year.

She is 32 years old. Although she still looks very young because she is not married and pays attention to maintenance, she is still obviously different from women in their early twenties.

However, when standing next to Zhou Chen, except for the fact that he is much shorter than Zhou Chen, they are quite compatible in other aspects.

Because of his strong physique, Zhou Chen grew taller again and now is 1.82 meters tall, while Han Chunyan is only about 1.63 meters tall.

In fact, in this era, a woman who is 1.63 meters tall is considered tall.

But when she stood next to Zhou Chen and wasn't wearing high heels, the difference was obvious.

As for Zhou Chen's appearance, his physique is very strong, but he is not immortal. He will still age as he gets older.

It's just that he knows how to take care of himself, so even though he is 31 years old, he still looks like a young man in his twenties.

Standing next to Han Chunyan, it feels like a sister-brother relationship.

"Thank you. Let's go inside and talk."

Zhou Chen opened the door and walked into the yard with Han Chunyan.

Han Chunyan stayed at Zhou Chen's house until the evening and left only after dinner.

As he gradually adapted to Han Chunyan's existence and feelings, Zhou Chen knew that he would probably never be able to draw a clear line between himself and this woman in his lifetime.

However, he felt very comfortable with this kind of relationship between men and women that went with the flow, without too many twists and turns.

The next morning, Zhou Chen drove to the restaurant, packed a few dishes, and went to Grandpa Guan's house.
