Zhou Chen just smiled and watched her leave. Peng Yongli was not as shameless as him. After being caught kissing, she must have been too embarrassed to raise her head and was completely unable to face him.

A few minutes later, Wang Xin came back.

"Tsk tsk, you're great, you got it so quickly?"

"Get lost, you've ruined everything."

Zhou Chen went up and kicked him, pointing at him and warning: "Listen to me, kid, next time you come to my house, knock on the door first."

Wang Xin begged for mercy in a servile manner: "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I ruined your good thing. Next time I will pay attention and knock on the door before entering."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I'm calling you to my house for dinner. My dad is home too."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get something."

Neighbors value give and take. Wang Xin always comes to his place for dinner. Now he goes to Wang Xin's house for dinner. This is a chance for Wang Xin to repay his kindness.

Zhou Chen brought two bottles of white wine, cut a piece of sausage, and then followed Wang Xin.

From that day on, Zhou Chen and Peng Yongli officially started dating, and Ma Kui soon found out about this.

For this reason, Ma Kui specially found a time in the evening and found Zhou Chen.

"I don't object to you dating Lili, but Mingjie handed Lili to me, so I have to keep an eye on her. You are a few years older than Lili and more mature than her, so you must know what you can and cannot do. What I said is a bit blunt, but it's all for the good of you and Lili."

It was impossible for Ma Kui to treat Zhou Chen the same way he treated Wang Xin, so even if he meant to warn him, he said it very politely.

Zhou Chen could understand Ma Kui's thoughts, so he answered seriously: "Uncle Ma, don't worry, I know my limits. Lili is a good girl, I won't hurt her. She is still in college now, it's just a few years, I can wait."

When Ma Kui heard what Zhou Chen said, he felt relieved.

"I believe you."

Since they established their relationship, except for being a little shy in the beginning, Peng Yongli was able to get along easily and happily with Zhou Chen over time. She would find time to find Zhou Chen and express her love for him.

Although the two of them did not reach the final step, they often hugged and kissed each other when they were alone together, just like normal couples.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Cai Xiaonian and Tang Yanhong's wedding. Early in the morning, before it was fully light, everyone in the compound had already started getting ready.

As the main force in welcoming the bride, Zhou Chen was naturally woken up early to help with pasting the wedding ribbons, hanging lanterns, etc.

Zhou Chen and Wang Xin had just finished their work when they saw Ma Yan and Peng Yongli coming over.

Peng Yongli heard that Cai Xiaonian was getting married today and Zhou Chen and the others were going to pick up the bride, so she rushed over last night, ready to join them in the fun today.

"Lili, have you had breakfast?" Zhou Chen asked.

Before Peng Yongli could say anything, Ma Yan said, "I ate it, I ate it. Lili is at our house, how can we let her starve? Look how worried you are."

"Ha ha……"

Wang Xin, Niu Dali and others laughed without giving any face.

"Sister." Peng Yongli was very embarrassed, she was thin-skinned.

At this time, Cai Xiaonian walked out of the house, wearing a neat Zhongshan suit, his hair was oiled and split into two parts, he wore a pair of shiny leather shoes, and a red flower of a groom was pinned on his chest.

"Oh, Xiaonian, you look particularly handsome and energetic today."

"Really? Haha, if I'm not energetic today, I'll never be energetic in my life."

Cai Xiaonian shook himself up, looking very pleased with himself. Today he was the groom, and he had to be the most handsome guy.

A few people were chatting and laughing, when at this moment, Yao Yuling, who lived on the second floor, suddenly went out.

She was dressed very brightly, with a dark yellow knitted sweater on top, a brown knee-length skirt on the bottom, a pair of black leather shoes and white stockings on her feet, and she had two braids and was holding a comb in her hand to fiddle with her bangs.

Her appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they looked at her with different expressions.

Ma Yan couldn't stand it and immediately whispered sarcastically: "Oh my god, who is getting married?"

Zhou Chen found it very interesting. Apart from anything else, Yao Yuling was definitely the most attractive in the compound. No one was as flamboyant as her.

Peng Yongli blinked, very curious. In fact, there were many girls like Yao Yuling in the university. It was just that this was the first time she saw Yao Yuling like this. Why did she feel a little out of place compared to other people in the compound?

The one who reacted the most was undoubtedly Niu Dali. He was completely stunned, staring blankly at Yao Yuling. Apart from Yao Yuling, there was no one else in his eyes. Even when Cai Xiaonian kept waving in front of him, he didn't feel anything and just kept muttering to himself.

"Fairy, fairy has come down to earth..."

The appearance of Yao Yuling made the compound lively again. As time passed, the time for picking up the bride was almost here. Cai Danian urged his son to take people to pick up the bride as soon as possible.

But before they left, the people who went to Tang Yanhong's house to gather intelligence came back.

"The front reported that your wife's family got eight Phoenix brand bicycles, all brand new."

When Cai Xiaonian heard this, he was stunned. Everyone started talking about it. It was obvious that the other person did this on purpose just to embarrass the Cai family so that it would be easier to control them in the future.

Finally, it was Wang Xin who came up with an idea. He used the trick of replacing the new car with the old one and covering it with red paper. This way, at least from the outside you couldn't tell the difference between the new and the old.

The Cai family had no choice but to agree to do so.

Zhou Chen did not take the lead. Today was Cai Xiaonian's wedding day, so he was just responsible for doing the work and did not get involved in other matters.

Although many unexpected events occurred during the bride-receiving process, the final result was still good. Cai Xiaonian took Tang Yanhong back and completed the wedding in the compound.

After the evening banquet, a famous scene from a TV drama was staged. Cai Xiaonian took out a tape recorder and played music. At Cai Xiaonian's invitation, a group of young people started a dance battle with enthusiasm and unrestrained spirit.

At the end of the fight, Ma Yan and Yao Yuling, who had long disliked each other, started to fight on the spot, staging a wonderful internal fight.

Chapter 1373 Two Years Later, Mission Completed

"Jingle Bell!"

The clear and loud sound of bicycle bells echoed across the streets in the early morning, and pedestrians on the road all avoided the speeding bicycles.

Peng Yongli had so much fun last night that she got up a little late in the morning, so Zhou Chen rode his bike to take her to school.

Peng Yongli, who was sitting in the back, held Zhou Chen's waist with one hand and raised the other hand high, her face full of joy.

This was not the first time Zhou Chen sent her to school, but she would be very happy every time. It was another happy day when the person she loved sent her to school.

When they arrived at the school gate, Zhou Chen handed the prepared bag to Peng Yongli.

"These are all some snacks I prepared for you. I'm going to leave this afternoon and won't be back for a few days. I'm going to Harbin. Do you want me to bring anything?"

"No."

Peng Yongli shook her head. She felt that she was living a very happy life now. She had her second uncle's family who took good care of her, and a boyfriend who was especially good to her. Even in this strange city of Ningyang, she felt warm in her heart.

After straightening Zhou Chen's scarf, she said softly, "Then remember to think of me."

Zhou Chen scratched her nose and said, "Of course, who else can I think of besides you? Come in quickly, don't be late."

"Ok."

Peng Yongli waved at Zhou Chen reluctantly, walked slowly into the campus step by step, then turned around and waved at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen also waved his hand, and only rode away when he could no longer see him.

Time is like running water, passing silently through your fingers.

During the summer vacation of 1982, Peng Yongli did not return to Harbin, but continued to stay in Ningyang.

In fact, today’s college students are different from those in later generations. Many students who come to college do not go home during the winter and summer vacations.

Many are forced by financial reasons, and some are because the journey is long and the commuting is too much hassle, so it is better to stay in school to study, or do odd jobs.

But it’s different for Peng Yongli. She can move back to her second uncle’s house. Living in the Ma family is just like living in her own home, and it’s even more lively.

When she went home, she was alone most of the time, but living in this compound, not only was her second father's family there with her, but also her boyfriend Zhou Chen. Even if she missed her father, she could go to Harbin with Zhou Chen. Even Peng Mingjie would occasionally come to Ningyang to see her.

Zhou Chen placed some meat coupons, cloth coupons, industrial coupons and other coupons in front of Peng Yongli.

"Uncle Ma's family is not well off right now. You're going to stay at Uncle Ma's house for so long, you can't just leave empty-handed. But Uncle Ma won't take the money even if you give him. So you don't have to pay. Just give him these coupons and see if he wants them."

There are only two people working in the Ma family now, Ma Kui and Ma Yan. The salary from Ma Yan's job is just enough for her to spend alone, with not much left over.

Ma Kui works as a criminal policeman. Although his salary and bonus are higher than those of ordinary jobs, he is still a working class person. He has a wife who is in poor health and needs to take medicine all year round, and a son who is only a few years old. You can imagine the pressure of his life.

If Peng Yongli were added, the living expenses would definitely be tight. Peng Yongli had lived a good life under the care of her father since she was a child. The Ma Kui family had been keeping close to her for the past three or four months. Their warm care made her unaware of the problem. It was only after Zhou Chen reminded her that she came to her senses.

"But I can't take yours, or I should talk to my dad. My dad has money."

This naivety made Zhou Chen laugh a little. Having never experienced hard times, she was still a little lacking in such social skills.

"That's different. Uncle Peng is rich, but how could Uncle Ma accept his money? Uncle Ma looks kind and amiable, but he is actually very arrogant. He regards Uncle Peng as his savior and thinks it is his duty to take care of you, so there is no way he would accept money. Uncle Peng also knows this, so he never said these things. At most, he just brought things over."

"But you are different. You can say that these coupons are subsidies from the school. You don't need to use them at school. As for mine and yours, there is no need to distinguish them so clearly. Anyway, I have decided on you. In my heart, mine is yours."

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Peng Yongli was deeply moved and accepted the tickets.

"Zhou Chen, I'm also determined to be with you. We've agreed that we'll get married after I graduate."

"Okay, what if your dad doesn't agree?"

"No, my dad loves me the most, he will definitely agree."

"You are right. I will convince him to hand you over to me."

Zhou Chen had good intentions in doing this, but who would have thought that Ma Kui would come to his house that night.

"Uncle Ma, why are you here?"

"Why am I here?"

Ma Kui walked into the room with a sullen face, then turned to Zhou Chen and asked, "Are these for Lili?" As he spoke, he took out a handful of tickets from his pocket.

Zhou Chen was not embarrassed, but said with admiration: "Uncle Ma is worthy of being Uncle Ma, nothing can be hidden from you."

"Don't fool me. Do you think I'm a criminal policeman for nothing? How can I not know what kind of personality Lili has? She doesn't have so many thoughts, and Mingjie wouldn't do that either. Besides you, who else can persuade Lili?"

Ma Kui snorted coldly and shouted, "I think you are just too busy to mind other people's business. Although you are dating Lili now, you are not married yet, so you are still an outsider. Lili calls me second dad, so she is my daughter. Do I need to give her money and tickets to live and eat at home?"

"I……"

"What do you mean by 'you'? I'm not here to listen to your explanation. I'm here to tell you that if something like this happens again in the future, don't blame me for scolding you."

Zhou Chen smiled bitterly, he had actually guessed what would happen, but he really wanted to do his best to help, but a man like Ma Kui simply could not accept help in this way.

"Yes, Uncle Ma, since you said so, I will naturally not do it again in the future."

The reason why he guessed that Ma Kui might refuse but still did it was, firstly, to teach Peng Yongli the ways of the world, and secondly, just to give it a try.

Ma Kui snorted, "Remember, don't think I don't know what you are up to. Although our family is not well off, we can still survive with Lili. Wait until you really marry Lili, then consider these things."

Of course he knew the situation of his family. If the situation really became difficult to maintain, he was willing to bow his head for the sake of his wife and children.

But their family has not reached that point yet. He and Ma Yan can still maintain the family, so he naturally doesn't want to bow down.

"Also, I have no objection to you dating Lili, but you are a few years older than her, and Lili is still in college. You should know whether you can do certain things or not."

"Uncle Ma, don't worry. I like Lili, so I will do good for her and won't hurt her."

"Remember your words."

After scolding Zhou Chen, Ma Kui left.

"Uncle Ma really hasn't changed at all."

Zhou Chen felt emotional. Although this was just a small matter, it also revealed Ma Kui's true nature. He could understand Ma Kui. If it were him, he would probably make the same choice as Ma Kui.

But the saying "a little bit of kindness will be repaid with a big bit of grudge" also makes sense. It may be that he has lived for a long time and has thought a lot, so he always feels that trust is okay, but sometimes you also have to think more and be prepared for both situations.

In the autumn of 1982, the system prompted Zhou Chen that one of the side quests had been completed, which was the side quest of the five-year train police officer.

Zhou Chen was filled with emotion. Five years had passed in a flash. Even though he had lived in various film and television worlds for many years, he often still felt that time could not be retained. A few years, a few decades, just passed by.

He has lived in the world of film and television for so many years, which is enough for him to live for dozens of lifetimes in the real world.

Therefore, he was very grateful to the system that bound him. Perhaps in many novels, the system would become a villain in the end, but for him, he was more grateful. After all, without the system, he would not be where he is today.

Without the system, he would be just one of the millions of ordinary people, and would probably always struggle at the bottom of society, never enjoying wealth and glory.

It is no exaggeration to say that the system is his biggest job, so although he often curses the system, he really can't do anything to ruin his job, and he is reluctant to leave the system. He wishes the system could always accompany him and take him to appreciate more of the film and television world, the heavens and the myriad worlds...

As for the rest, why think so much? It is enough to get immediate benefits first. Who knows what will happen in the future?

Although he has been working as a flight attendant for five years, Zhou Chen has never thought of quitting. After all these years, he has become accustomed to the job. The job of a flight attendant is not bad. As for starting a new business or doing business, it is better to continue to be a flight attendant.

No matter what, he is now a very promising flight attendant. If he continues to work hard, he will definitely have a bright future.

The end of the universe is organization, what a great job.
