The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen, who was busy, looked up and saw it.

"Brother Ma, Wang Xin, what's going on?"

Wang Xin casually replied: "A passenger's money was stolen. My master and I are investigating it."

Zhou Chen nodded: "If you need help, just let me know."

He knew Ma Kui's abilities, so he had no intention of interfering. With the two new forces, Ma Kui and Wang Xin, plus Yu Xingguo who was trying to take on the job, he was now much more relaxed than before, and the number of carriage inspections he had to do was less than half of what he did before.

Being able to enjoy himself leisurely, he naturally would not rush to think about making meritorious contributions. He would give more opportunities to show himself and make meritorious contributions to Wang Xin and Ma Kui, and everyone was happy.

With Ma Kui's alert investigation, they quickly got the thief's information from the eyewitness and then caught the thief who stole the money.

The result was good, but the process was not very friendly to Wang Xin, because he had poor eyesight and found the person without preparation, so he was severely despised by Ma Kui, which made him so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he could do nothing about it.

Taking advantage of Ma Kui's absence, Wang Xin started complaining to Zhou Chen again.

"Look at this old guy. He just caught a thief, but he is so proud of himself, as if he has never caught a thief before."

Zhou Chen said, "I heard from Captain Hu that Brother Ma was also a good fighter in the passenger police team. You should fight with him less and learn from him more. You will definitely learn a lot of skills that you can't learn in the police academy."

Wang Xin said depressedly: "I do want to, but you have seen his attitude towards me. This old man is so stingy."

"Do you want me to give you some advice?"

Wang Xin's eyes lit up: "Do you have an idea? Tell me about it."

"It's very simple. You just need to cling to him shamelessly and show your shamelessness. Men are afraid of being clingy. He will definitely teach you a lesson."

"I'm pestering him? I won't lose face, it's too embarrassing."

"Then you can be his son-in-law. Didn't you say that you have a good relationship with Ma Ge's daughter? You can take her away. Ma Ge loves his daughter very much and will let you do whatever you want."

"Oh my god, what kind of bad ideas are you coming up with? Ma Yan and I are classmates. Our friendship is pure classmate friendship. You misunderstood. There is absolutely no possibility for us."

Wang Xin shuddered. Just thinking about Ma Kui being his father-in-law made him feel a chill down his spine.

"Don't be so sure. Who can predict what will happen in the future? He might even be your father-in-law."

"Forget it, there is absolutely no such possibility."

"Wang Xin, Wang Xin, what are you doing? There's a conflict in the car ahead, go deal with it quickly."

Ma Kui's voice came from outside. Wang Xin quickly picked up his hat and put it on, then ran out of the dining car happily.

Zhou Chen looked at it and shook his head: "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. It is a destined evil fate and there is no escape."

The most regrettable thing about the final resolution of the journey from south to north is naturally the death of Ma Kui, and one of his side quests is to keep Ma Kui alive, so he will definitely try his best to prevent any accidents from happening.

As for the drug offender Jia Jinlong in the plot, he will not be allowed to go unpunished for too long.

The journey was relatively smooth and we returned to Ningyang after a few days.

"Zhou Chen, let's go back together. I'll take you on my bike."

On the way home, Wang Xin volunteered to ride his bike to take Zhou Chen back to the compound.

"Didn't you say you wanted to buy a car? So many days have passed, why haven't you made any progress yet?"

"I've already got the bicycle ticket. I'll buy it when I get my salary this time."

"Buy it quickly. It's really a bit of an eyesore for two grown men like us to ride on one bike."

"........."

Wang Xin rode his bike to the gate of the compound and was about to stop when a chicken suddenly flew towards him. He was so scared that his body trembled, and he could not control the bike and fell to the side.

"Fuck me"

Zhou Chen reacted very quickly and jumped off the back seat, then watched Wang Xin fall down along with the bicycle.

The culprit chicken spread its wings and shook them, then walked back to the yard with its head held high.

Wang Xin got up from the ground and angrily cursed: "Whose chicken is this? How can you be so immoral?"

Zhou Chen held his chin and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the egg king raised by Aunt Wu."

"The egg king? The one who lays the most eggs in Aunt Wu's family?"

Wang Xin patted his clothes and returned the bicycle to Zhou Chen. It was so embarrassing to be scared by a chicken and fall down.

Wu Changgui and his wife raised a few chickens. This old hen named Egg King laid the most eggs, so Aunt Wu gave it the name Egg King. Egg King was also a famous chicken in the compound.

Chapter 1346: Yao Yuling faints, peacock spreads its tail

When Wang Xin returned to the compound, he saw the Egg King wandering around the compound and muttered unhappily, "I'll stew you sooner or later."

Aunt Wu passed by and said, "Wang Xin, what are you mumbling about here? Who are you going to eat?"

"No one, I just got home from get off work and I'm hungry, so I thought about eating something."

"You look very hungry. Didn't you have any food at work?"

"Eat, eat."

Zhou Chen walked past them but was stopped by Aunt Wu.

"Xiao Zhou, what I told you two days ago..."

Zhou Chen immediately had a headache: "Aunt Wu, why are you bringing this up again?"

Aunt Wu said earnestly, "Xiao Zhou, you are not young anymore. You are the only child left in your Zhou family. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You have to shoulder the responsibility of carrying on the family line."

Zhou Chen looked helpless: "Aunt Wu, thank you for your concern, but I really don't want to date anyone yet. Why don't you take a look at Wang Xin, he is also old enough, you can introduce him to someone."

After diverting the blame, he ran away. Aunt Wu really turned her attention to Wang Xin.

Wang Xin, who was standing nearby watching the fun, became anxious when he saw Zhou Chen actually shifted the topic to himself.

"Aunt Wu, I have something else to do. I'll go back first."

"Hey, Wang Xin, don't go, I'm telling you..."

These aunties in the compound are all very nice, but the thing about them introducing date to everyone is that, although they have good intentions, Zhou Chen really can't handle it.

Zhou Chen made a simple dinner and went out for a walk after eating.

There are really too few entertainment activities these days. During the days at home, apart from playing chess and cards with Lu Hongxing and others, and occasionally going fishing, there are really no other entertainment activities.

He was so bored that he was ready to find something to kill time.

At night, Zhou Chen dragged a bicycle with a piece of wood about 50 to 60 centimeters long tied to the back seat, and also a few knives.

In order to find these knives and wood suitable for wood carving, he shopped around for a long time. Since most stores are now state-owned, he went to several stores before buying this piece of wood at a furniture factory. The quality is still unsatisfactory, so he had to use it reluctantly.

Although his wood carving skills have reached a very high level, reaching the master level, he still wants to continue to improve so that he can make a few sets of furniture for his own home.

It’s just that it always feels a bit weird to see a master woodcarver making furniture.

As for the knives, Zhou Chen did not have too many requirements, because with his strength, meticulous control and hands-on ability, even if the knives were not professional, he could use them at a professional level.

Using a knife to carve wood can not only improve the woodcarving technique, but also hone his knife skills. This kind of force may not be very useful in modern urban society, but in the ancient world, and even in other worlds, it can still be of some use.

It can not only kill time but also help yourself, which is better than wandering around all day long.

On the way back to the compound, a figure suddenly came into Zhou Chen's sight, and the other person also saw him.

"Hey, it's you, Zhou Chen, what are you doing?"

Ever since Zhou Chen made his intention clear last time, Yao Yuling had not had much contact with Zhou Chen except for work and daily life. However, when they met this time and saw the big piece of wood behind Zhou Chen's bicycle, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Zhou Chen said: "I have nothing to do now, so I bought some wood and knives and prepared to go back to do some carpentry work and carve something."

Yao Yuling was surprised: "You also know carpentry?"

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

"I didn't realize you were so talented. You can even do carpentry."

"Knowing a little carpentry is not a jack of all trades. It's getting late. Are you going out to play?"

"Yeah, I went to see a movie."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived outside the compound. Suddenly, a man rushed out from the darkness and jumped in front of Zhou Chen and Yao Yuling, giving Yao Yuling a big fright.

"Oh, my god, Niu Dali, do you want to scare me to death?"

The person who jumped out was Niu Dali. He ignored Yao Yuling's complaints and stared at Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, why did you come back with Yao Er? Where did you go so late at night?"

Before Zhou Chen could answer, Yao Yuling shouted in dissatisfaction: "Why do we need to report to you before we go anywhere?"

"No, I'm just worried about you. Where did you go with Zhou Chen?"

"and many more."

Zhou Chen interrupted Niu Dali and said, "Niu Dali, you misunderstood. Yao Yuling and I did not go out together. We just met outside."

"That's it."

Niu Dali was skeptical, then looked at the wood on the back seat of Zhou Chen's car.

"Where did you get this big piece of wood?"

"I bought it. I'm tired of holding it. I'll go back first. You guys can chat."

Zhou Chen didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Niu Dali and Yao Yuling. He had a good relationship with Niu Dali, but he knew very well to what extent Niu Dali flattered Yao Yuling. If he tried to persuade him, it would not only be ineffective, but Niu Dali might even suspect him of having ulterior motives.

There is no way. The thinking of bootlickers is sometimes illogical. Any words that are good to them can turn into persecution when they hear them.

So in order to prevent such a thing from happening, he didn't even think about trying to persuade Niu Dali.

You think they are just bootlickers, but maybe they are enjoying it?

You are not a fish, you know the happiness of fish.

As I pushed my bicycle away, I could still hear the conversation between Niu Dali and Yao Yuling behind me.

"I went to the movies and ran into Zhou Chen by chance..."

“Are there many people watching the movie?”

"Too many, I..."

Licking the dog!

Zhou Chen sighed. Niu Dali was really too humble in front of Yao Yuling, but the more humble he was, the less likely he would get good results.

Because he had to go out in the afternoon, Zhou Chen started carving after getting up in the morning. He took out the wood he bought yesterday and started carving.

Holding the knife and looking at the piece of wood in front of him, Zhou Chen thought for a long time and finally decided to carve a pair of phoenixes.

He did not start immediately, but first drew a pair of phoenixes on paper. As a master painter, he was naturally familiar with the mythical beast such as the phoenix and drew it quickly.

Comparing with the portrait, Zhou Chen started to carve the wood. It was not an easy task to carve a phoenix on such a piece of wood.

After several hours in the morning, he had not even finished one tenth of the work. He was not trying to rush the work, so he did not speed up and was in a state of half playing and half carving.

Just after lunch and preparing to continue carving, Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian came running over.

"Zhou Chen, we still have a while before work starts. Let's go play cards for a while. The three of us, plus Dali, will make four people."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen responded, "Okay, let's go."

The four of them set up a table in the courtyard and started playing cards. They didn't play for money, they just played for fun.

But after playing for a while, conflicts arose because Niu Dali's card skills were so bad that even Zhou Chen was a little disgusted, not to mention Cai Xiaonian and Wang Xin.

After a while, Niu Dali was driven out and was replaced by Wu Changgui. Niu Dali stood behind and watched the fight with an indignant look on his face.

But soon, Niu Dali's attention was attracted by someone else.

Yao Yuling was seen walking out of Aunt Lu's house, wearing a pink coat.

"Aunt Lu, thank you so much, look how well it fits me, it's so nice."

"As long as it fits, just let me know if you need anything."

Aunt Lu is Lu Hongxing’s wife, a housewife who knows some needlework and occasionally makes clothes for people to earn some pocket money. In this compound, Yao Yuling is her biggest customer.

When the other women saw Yao Yuling's pink dress, they couldn't help but praise her.

The vast majority of women of this generation are conservative and family-oriented, and women like Yao Yuling are a minority.
