The world of film and television begins from childhood

If it were in the past, the two of them could earn 60,000 to 70,000 yuan a month, and she would have been very satisfied.

But now she wants to improve her family's living conditions, and this money is far from enough.

Zhou Chen had thought about this problem a long time ago. Working for others would at most provide a little better food and clothing, but he would never get rich.

"Yeah, it's not okay to just work like this. I've thought about it. I'll write novels first. After I make a lot of money from Bitcoin, plus my royalties, we should be able to save about 10 million in two or three months."

"What I'm thinking about is whether I can use this money to do something myself. With tens of millions of dollars, I can start a lot of business."

Working for himself has always been Zhou Chen's dream. Even after coming to this world, he has never given up this idea. He works so hard to make money just to achieve this goal.

"Do it yourself, husband, you want to start your own business?"

Nan Li broke free from Zhou Chen's arms, "It's good to be your own boss, but husband, we have never done business before. If we want to do business, do you have a direction?"

If Zhou Chen had not obtained Xia Junshan's memory, he really had no good direction, but now it is different, he already has several plans in mind.

"I have a direction in mind, but I still need to think about it carefully. I will tell you as soon as I have a clear idea."

"Hubby, I believe in you, you can do it."

In just two months, Nan Li has developed a mysterious confidence in Zhou Chen.

Her husband during this period is obviously different from her previous husbands. He has become more independent, more confident, and loves her more. So if Zhou Chen really wants to do something, as long as it is reasonable, she will definitely not object.

"so."

Zhou Chen put away his serious expression and smiled: "Wife, it's just a bag. If you like it, just buy it. Don't hesitate. Just think that your husband will make more money in the future and buy more and better bags for you. In the future, your husband will be responsible for making money to support the family, and your wife will be responsible for being beautiful."

"Humph, you can't believe what men say. I'm already 37 years old, how can I still be as beautiful as a flower?" Nan Li pretended to be angry.

Zhou Chen held her in his arms and looked at her seriously: "Lili, my wife, no matter how old you are, in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful and the person I love most in this world..."

"Eh, that's so corny."

After hearing this, Nan Li felt numb and tingling in her heart, and she hugged Zhou Chen even tighter.

In an exam, Huanhuan achieved a good result. Although it was just average, it was twenty places higher than the last place in the midterm exam.

More importantly, there has been progress in all three subjects, especially mathematics, which is of similar difficulty. I only scored over 40 points last time, but this time I got 80 points.

The head teacher, Mr. Zhang, also called Nan Li personally and praised Huanhuan, which made Nan Li very happy.

This is the first time since Huanhuan started elementary school that a teacher has called her and praised her daughter for her improved academic performance.

Huanhuan had made such progress in less than a month of teaching, which made Zhou Chen and Nan Li very satisfied with Chen Xiaoqin's teaching. They then began to negotiate the price.

Because she was introduced by Zhong Yi, and she and Zhou Chen were from the same hometown, every time she came, her family would always prepare tea, fruit plates, etc., and on Saturdays and Sundays, they would take the initiative to invite Chen Xiaoqin to dinner.

Although these were just some small details, they touched Chen Xiaoqin deeply, so when negotiating the price, she intentionally quoted a low price.

Chen Xiaoqin is an honest person, and Zhou Chen is definitely not a stingy person. In the end, he decided on the price, three hundred per hour.

Although this price is not high in a big city like Jiangzhou, it is definitely not low. Huanhuan has to work two hours a day, which means that Chen Xiaoqin can earn at least 600 yuan a day. Add Saturdays and Sundays, except for other things, she can definitely earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

Such a salary is absolutely rare for a college student who has not yet graduated, which makes Chen Xiaoqin even more grateful.

Zhou Chen didn't think it was a big deal. Everyone gets what they need. You put in time and energy, and Huanhuan has improved his studies. It's only natural for him to pay.

Everything in this family is moving in a good direction, and this is what makes Zhou Chen happiest.

Chapter 24: Yan Peng, a fool with good fortune

"Honey, Dad asked us to go back for dinner next Friday."

On Sunday afternoon, Zhou Chen was typing at home alone. Nan Li, who had taken her two children to the community square to play, talked to him about the family dinner when she came back.

"Going again?"

Zhou Chen was shocked. The last family dinner was still fresh in his mind. It had only been a short time and they were going to get together again.

Nan Li said, "There's nothing I can do. Grandpa has called me more than once and asked me to go over on the weekend, but I was busy before and I can't refuse this time. Huanhuan and Chaochao said they missed grandpa, so even if it's for the children, we should go."

Deep down, the couple didn't want to go to Nan Jianlong's house for dinner, because if they went, Tian Yulan's family would definitely go as well, and as long as Tian Yulan was there, something bad would definitely happen.

Zhou Chen really didn't want to argue with Tian Yulan, nor did he want to engage in intrigue with Tian Yulan, and he didn't want Nan Li to have a conflict with Tian Yulan.

These two people have had several conflicts because of work. He has heard Nan Li complain more than once that whenever these two people meet, they will be like fighting cocks.

"Okay, go ahead, but don't fight with Tian Yulan anymore. Just eat your meal and go home peacefully."

Nan Li said with disdain: "Do you think I want to fight her? She is always the first to provoke me. I don't want to pay attention to her, but sometimes she is so irritating. Besides, why should I give in to her?"

Zhou Chen was speechless: "The old man is really a fool. He insisted on calling you two back together. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

He also understood his father-in-law Nan Jianlong's idea, which was nothing more than letting everyone get together more often so that they would become closer after getting to know each other. But he didn't think about the fact that one was his ex-wife's biological daughter and the other was his stepdaughter who came later.

How could two daughters who were not related by blood and had conflicts of principle live in harmony? Even if they did, it would just be a show.

Nan Li did not refute. She and Zhou Chen had the same idea. She didn't have much objection to going back for dinner. After all, he was her biological father and the grandfather of her two children.

But every time I go back, I have to bring that family with me. Over the years, how many family dinners have been harmonious?

Nan Jianlong obviously knew this, but he was still happy to keep yelling at each other. If this wasn't asking for it, then what else could it be?

"I'll call Chen Xiaoqin then and postpone Friday's class a little."

On Fridays, elementary schools would let students go home early. Ever since I started working as a tutor, I have been finishing school early on Fridays. However, I have to go there next week, so I can only postpone the classes.

In the evening, Nan Jianlong sent a message to the Weixin family group, inviting everyone to have dinner next Friday, and he also prepared an invitation letter with some flowery words.

On Thursday, during the lunch break, Zhou Chen made an appointment with Yan Peng to have lunch together.

"Brother, why did you think of calling me for dinner today?"

After Yan Peng arrived at the hotel, he asked Zhou Chen in surprise. He worked in a state-owned enterprise, and his job could be described in one word: idle and on call at any time.

Zhou Chen said: "I want to talk to you and thank you for rewarding me with two silver alliances. I said I would return the money to you, but you refused, so I can only invite you to dinner."

Yan Peng smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I gave you a reward because I thought your novel was good. If you really want to thank me, just treat me a few more times."

"That's no problem. Just wait. I'll definitely invite you to dinner more often in the future. I'm usually alone at noon anyway, so it's nice to have you as a companion."

"By the way, brother, I have to thank you for that. I also bought some of the Bitcoin you told me about last time. I made a lot of money recently. I didn't even tell Tian Yulan. I hid all the money in my personal savings account and bought a full set of skins. Haha, brother, next time you have such good things, you must remember me."

"You bought it too?"

Zhou Chen was really surprised. He just mentioned it to Yan Peng last time. No normal person would invest in virtual currency just because of someone else's words.

Yan Peng was a good guy. He actually listened to him and bought it. From the sound of him, it seemed that he made a lot of money.

Is this what it means when fools have good fortune?

"Ah, I bought it. Don't tell Tian Yulan."

"I have nothing to do, so I'll go tell her?"

"Hehe, oh, I'm really bored lately. I just play games in class every day."

Zhou Chen looked at him with disdain: "You are living in a blessed situation but you don't know how to appreciate it. Look at you, as a second-generation rich man, you don't even need to ask your son, how can you not be idle?"

"You can't blame me for this. I just don't want to learn business from an old man. Tian Yulan didn't let me ask Ziyou, so there's nothing I can do."

"Okay, stop being so funny. I know you feel most comfortable."

Yan Peng's life is indeed good. His family is rich and he doesn't have to worry about his children. Unlike him, he works hard typing every day just to have a better life.

"You know about the family dinner tomorrow afternoon."

"I know. The old man asked me to go. I have to go."

Zhou Chen rested his forearms on the table and leaned towards Yan Peng: "Go back, but you have to have a good talk with Tian Yulan when you go back. Let's just eat and stop making trouble, okay?"

Yan Peng looked helpless: "Brother, I don't want to either, but you know Tian Yulan, she is outspoken, once she is unhappy, she will say everything, I can't stop her even if I want to."

Zhou Chen angrily scolded: "Can't you have some backbone? A grown man can't even control a woman?"

Yan Peng rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, let's not talk about the second brother. I can't control Tian Yulan, so how can you control Nan Li? Although Nan Li doesn't take the initiative to provoke, once she takes the initiative, she is also very powerful. Can you stop her?"

Damn...

Zhou Chen was choked by these words.

"Is passive counterattack the same as active provocation? I tell you, if you don't want future family dinners to be in turmoil, you must have a good talk when you go back."

"Okay, I get it. I'll try my best. Bro, are you free to play basketball this week?"

"Saturday afternoon then. I haven't been active for a while, so this is a good time to get some exercise."

…………

Friday arrived in the blink of an eye. Zhou Chen and Nan Li, who had just returned home from get off work, took Huanhuan and Chaochao, who had been picked up by their grandmother, and drove to the residential area of ​​their father-in-law, Nan Jianlong.

Soon, the two families arrived. Except for Cai Juying who was cooking, the rest of them were sitting in the living room and the small pavilion outside.

Zhou Chen brought the children and made tea with his father-in-law Nan Jianlong. Nan Li sat on the sofa and browsed her phone, while Yan Peng was playing games.

As for Tian Yulan, she kept chattering away, the most important thing she wanted to emphasize was that in a recent exam, Yan Ziyu had ranked first in the class.

When talking about her son's studies, Tian Yulan was really excited and full of energy, constantly talking about how hard-working, smart, and talented her son was...

Zhou Chen didn't know much about the art of tea, mainly because he had never been exposed to it before. In his worldview, drinking tea was just about quenching thirst, there was no need to be so particular.

However, instead of listening to Tian Yulan's chatter, he would rather learn tea art from Nan Jianlong, listening to Nan Jianlong while slowly getting the hang of it.

Although it was made roughly, Zhou Chen felt it was pretty good. The more he listened, the more he felt that there were many aspects to the art of tea.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 25: 'Proud' Tian Yulan

"Junshan, the art of tea is very profound. Even I only know a little bit about it. If you are interested, you can learn it."

Nan Jianlong was very happy to see Zhou Chen was interested. Of the two sons-in-law, he obviously preferred his biological son-in-law. The relationship with his biological daughter was one aspect, but more importantly, Xia Junshan was his student, whom he had brought up.

"When you have nothing to do, making tea is a good way to calm your mind."

Zhou Chen smiled and complimented: "Dad is right. When I have time, I will definitely study it."

Tian Yulan on the other side didn't feel embarrassed at all when she saw that no one paid attention to her. Instead, she took the initiative to talk to Zhou Chen and the others.

"Xia Junshan, Nan Li, you really need to think about this carefully and focus on Huanhuan's studies. Let me tell you, do you know why Ziyou was able to get first place in the exam this time?"

Without waiting for a response, she gave the answer herself.

"It's because I enrolled him in a cram school. It's not an institution's cram school, but the cram school of their math teacher Zhong Yi. I have to say that Zhong Yi is quite capable. After Ziyou attended his cram school, his math skills improved significantly. Not only did he get first place in the math test this time, he also got full marks."

Zhou Chen and Nan Li both knew what was going on. Looking at Tian Yulan showing off, they looked at each other and said nothing.

Nan Jianlong asked in surprise: "Huanhuan and Ziyou's math teacher? Isn't it said that teachers in office are not allowed to run cram schools?"

Tian Yulan immediately said, "Uncle Nan, you don't know this, right? Policies are policies, but who knows whether the people below will implement them? Besides, if there is no cram school, how much can a primary school teacher earn just based on the fixed salary? Zhong Yi is a man who hasn't even gotten married. If he doesn't run a cram school to make money, how can he get married?"

"So, if the teacher doesn't want to run a cram school, just listen to it and don't take it seriously. I've never noticed before that the teachers in my class are much more reliable than those in other cram schools. Not only do they charge less, but they also know the teachers well, which makes people feel more at ease."

"Oh, I see."

Nan Jianlong didn't understand why, but he still agreed.

"Nan Li, I think you should also consider signing up for Zhong Yi's class. He is really good."

Zhou Chen always felt awkward listening to Tian Yulan praising Zhong Yi.

Tian Yulan, you probably don't know that if I hadn't mediated, you would not be praising Zhong Yi, but scolding him.

"Aunt, aunt, my sister has a teacher at home."

Chaochao suddenly raised his hand and spoke loudly to Tian Yulan.

Tian Yulan was startled and looked at Nan Li: "There is a teacher? What does that mean?"

Nan Li had no choice but to answer, "We hired a tutor for Huan Huan, a one-on-one tutor. Xia Junshan and I are both very busy, so having a tutor come to our house can save us a lot of time."

"You actually hired a tutor?"

Tian Yulan was shocked. Not only him, but even Nan Jianlong and Yan Peng were stunned.

Nan Jianlong asked Zhou Chen, "Did you hire a tutor for Huanhuan? No, didn't you have high expectations for Huanhuan's grades before? Why did you hire a tutor for her? Huanhuan, are you tired of taking classes at home?"

The last sentence was asked to Xia Huanhuan.
