The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Then let's go to the mall. The weather is getting colder and I'll buy you some clothes."

Having lived in Yanjing for so many years and having visited all the scenic spots and historical sites, Zhao Yingnan felt that as long as she could be with Zhou Chen, it didn't matter where she went.

"Okay, you are the boss today, so we will go wherever you say we should go."

There weren't many entertainment activities in that era, and Zhao Yingnan didn't like to go to crowded places. Zhou Chen didn't force her. She said it was okay to go wherever she wanted.

The two went to a large shopping mall in Yanjing and shopped for several hours. They bought a lot of clothes, and Zhou Chen also bought a lot of small gifts for Zhao Yingnan.

In the evening, Zhou Chen called out all the students from the Class of 92 of the Department of Clinical Medicine. Except for a few who were too busy, there were seventeen people in total, and they gathered together again.

"Let's toast to Zhou Chen and the squad leader first, congratulations to them."

Everyone raised their glasses and toasted Zhou Chen and the others.

Zhou Chen said to everyone, "I still say the same thing. We have known each other for so many years. There is no need to be so particular. Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, and have a good time. Don't think about saving money for me."

"Everyone knows you're a wealthy man, how could I possibly save money for you? You're overthinking it."

"Haha, that's right, you think too much."

"For a big happy event like an engagement, it's bound to cost a lot of money."

…………

Facing everyone's teasing, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You can tell me now. When I marry Yingnan, if the gift money is too little, I will not easily get away with it."

"Tsk tsk, you just got engaged and you already want to get married. You're even thinking about the gift money. We're both poor doctors, how much money can we have?" Du Zhong looked stingy.

Zhao Yingnan retorted, "We are all top students with PhDs, how could we be without money? I have remembered everything. No one of you can escape. If the gift money is too little, we will not attend your wedding in the future."

Qiu Shui asked loudly, "Husbands should sing and wives should follow. Squad leader, Zhou Chen, when you get married, should we give one gift or two?"

Hou Pu immediately shouted, "Of course it's one. We are a family, how can we give two?"

"Squad leader, you look so stingy, can you be a little more ambitious?"

"You have a lot of potential, so you can pay two."

"Two is two. We can't let people look down on us."

Everyone started to joke with each other and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very good.

Qiu Shui also took the opportunity to sit next to Xiao Hong, and said to her with a playful smile: "Xiao Hong, don't be angry, I was wrong, I was wrong, can you forgive me? Don't ignore me, you see I have lost weight recently, Xiao Hong, please forgive me..."

Xiao Hong was originally stern-faced, but in the end she couldn't stand Qiu Shui's persistence and forgave him.

This scene was seen by Gu Ming who sat at the same table. His face suddenly darkened. He had liked Xiao Hong for so many years, but in the end, he got nothing.

Obviously Qiu Shui had done something so excessive, but Xiao Hong still chose to forgive Qiu Shui and was unwilling to give him any chance, which made him feel disheartened.

It's true that he and Qiu Shui are brothers, but sometimes he really can't understand why Xiao Hong is still willing to follow Qiu Shui when he is in such a mess? He is so loyal, why is Xiao Hong unwilling to choose him?

Gu Ming, feeling disheartened, no longer thought about continuing. He planned to study hard, become his mother's doctoral student, and leave Renhe Medical College.

"After dinner, do you have any good suggestions?"

Because everyone was a medical student and had already started their internship, they were all relatively restrained and did not drink too much. They were all still sober.

So when the dinner was about to end, Zhou Chen asked everyone.

Hou Pu said loudly: "We can go out and play, but Zhou Chen, you don't have to treat us. If we want to play some expensive activities, how about we all pool the money together?"

"I have no opinion."

Someone immediately raised his hand to show his agreement, and then everyone expressed their agreement one after another.

Over the years, Zhou Chen also treated everyone to several meals. Although they had treated everyone again from time to time later, it was definitely not as grand as theirs. So although no one said it, they all remembered it in their hearts.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhou Chen did not force it, but just said: "Since everyone said so, I will not say anything big. Let's just give some ideas about where to go and what to play next."

The question of what to play stumped everyone.

All of them are now in internship. They usually have to intern and study in the hospital. Most of their time is occupied, and very few of them can often go out and play.

In short, it’s because people don’t want to play, don’t know how to play, or can’t afford to play.

"We have more people, how about we go to the skating rink?"

A boy suddenly suggested.

Most people who skated in this era still wore four-wheeled, two-row skates. Although it was just simple skating, it was still very popular at that time. Many young men and women liked to go skating in groups.

"I won't go. I don't know how to ice skate. It's too scary." A girl immediately expressed her opinion.

"I don't want to go either. It's a bit too chaotic over there, and there are too many of us. It doesn't seem right."

"I think it's a good idea. I'm a very good ice skater and I can teach you."

"I'm afraid of pain and falling, and I don't want to go."

"What's there to be afraid of when skating? You can wear protective gear."

…………

Everyone started a discussion about ice skating. Most boys had no objection, but many girls were not willing to go.

For girls, ice skating is a relatively dangerous game.

"So what are you girls going to play?"

"Going to the movies? It doesn't matter if there are many or few people. The cost is low. At most you just need to buy some food and drinks."

"Watch a movie? What's so good about a movie? It's better to go ice skating."

"Who said that? The previous Titanic was really, really good. If we go watch it now, maybe there will be some good movies released."

"Who of you wants to go? I don't want to go anyway."

"I don't want to go either. Movies are so boring. People go to see them in pairs. Why would I, a single person, go to see a movie?"

"You're right, watching movies is really boring."

There is indeed a huge difference between boys and girls in terms of playing.

The main reason is that there are not many places to play now, and there are even fewer places where men and women can play together. What's more, there are more than a dozen people at a time, so they definitely need a large entertainment venue.

Neither side could convince the other, so they reached a stalemate.

Finally, Xiao Hong suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "How about I tell you a place?"

"Xiao Hong, go ahead."

"bar."

"bar?"

When they heard Xiao Hong say that she was going to the bar, many people's faces changed slightly, and then they started talking.

"Places like bars are too chaotic. Isn't it a bad idea to go there?"

"I also think it's too chaotic there, and it's full of young people from society."

"I think it's okay. The bar isn't as bad as you think. It's a place to relax."

"Yeah, it's a different era now, don't be so feudal, okay?"

"Anyway, I agree. Xiao Hong, a girl, isn't afraid, so why should we boys be afraid? It just so happens that I have never been to that kind of place, so I can take the opportunity to see it tonight."

Hou Pu frowned and said, "We are top students of Renhe Medical College and future PhD students. We should not go to bars where hooligans hang out, right?"

For a student like him who came from the countryside, studying hard and working hard are what he has to do. Places like bars are too far away from him.

Qiu Shui naturally wouldn't ruin his girlfriend's show, he suggested: "It's not like we go there often, it's okay to go there once in a while, Zhou Chen, Zhao Yingnan, what do you think?"

So, everyone's eyes turned to the two protagonists at today's dinner.

Zhao Yingnan wanted to refuse directly, but then she changed her mind and asked Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, what do you think of Xiaohong's proposal?"

Zhou Chen said: "In my opinion, bars are indeed a bit chaotic, but not as chaotic as everyone imagines. Since the country allows them to exist, there must be some reason for it. If you go there once in a while, it's actually okay. But I want to remind everyone that the consumption in bars is very high. It's very likely that a glass of beer will cost several or even dozens of yuan. If you want to go there, you must be prepared to bleed."

Xiao Hong raised her head proudly, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry about that. I know someone in the bar I mentioned. I can give you a discount then."

Qiu Shui asked in surprise: "Do you know anyone in the bar?"

Xiao Hong rolled her eyes at him and said, "Is it not possible? Whenever you made me angry before, I would go to the bar to vent my anger. After so many times, I naturally got to know the people there."

Being stared at by everyone, Qiu Shui smiled awkwardly. It was really not a pleasant feeling to have his girlfriend expose his secrets in public.

"What do you think?" Zhou Chen asked again.

He actually had no aversion to going to bars. Although he seldom went to bars, there was absolutely no problem in going there occasionally.

Many people regard bars as illegal places, thinking that they are a den of filth and not a good place. But objectively speaking, this is not primarily a problem with the bars, but a problem with the people.

Just like the qing bars that existed more than ten years later, there were also quite a lot of them, but in this era, qing bars are almost impossible to find in China.

Seeing that no one could come up with an answer, Xiao Hong became anxious.

"Hey, you guys are so backward. I'm asking you to go to the bar, not to do anything bad. Do you know why I'm going to the bar?"

"Didn't you just say that Qiu Shui made you angry and you went to the bar to cool off."

"Ha ha……"

There was a burst of laughter at once, and Qiu Shui, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, was hit hard again.

Xiao Hong also laughed dumbly and explained: "That's only part of the reason. The more important reason is indulgence."

"indulgence?"

"Yes, it's indulgence. Think about it, as a doctor, you have to study, treat patients, and sometimes witness birth, aging, illness and death. We are under a lot of pressure, right? It always feels like something is pressing on our chest, and we feel very depressed. We want to release it but can't. It's very uncomfortable. You have this feeling, right?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not refute Xiao Hong's words. There was pressure from studying, pressure from internships, pressure from exams, and pressure from facing graduation.

It can be said that they are carrying too much pressure and sometimes they are so depressed that they can't breathe.

But, didn’t everyone come here this way? Didn’t Renhe’s senior brothers come here this way too?

"Going to a bar is for indulging yourself. No one there cares who you are, because everyone is there to indulge themselves. There, you don't need to worry about so many things. You just need to release everything you want to release, sing and dance to your heart's content, drink to your heart's content, and have fun to your heart's content."

As Xiao Hong talked, he became excited, as if he were already in the bar, and began to indulge himself.

Xiao Hong's words were quite contagious. At least those who had previously said they didn't want to go had begun to waver and were eager to try.

"Xiao Hong, is the bar really as good as you said? I've heard from people that there are a lot of gangsters in there and it's very dangerous." You Yue said worriedly.

Xiao Hong sneered and said, "What are you afraid of? We have more than a dozen people, and we are all soldiers from the military camp with military ranks. If we encounter ordinary thugs, can they beat our military boxing?"

"That's true."

Everyone then realized that they all came from military camps and seemed to be really not afraid of the gangsters.

Zhao Yingnan winked at Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen understood what she meant, so he said, "It's everyone's own will whether to go or not. So, if you want to go, let's go together after dinner. If you don't want to go, go back and rest after dinner. What do you think?"

"That's fine. I want to go and see it anyway. I've never been to a bar in my life." Du Zhong said with great interest.

Gu Xiaoman immediately raised her hand: "If Du Zhong goes, I want to go too."

"Add me in." Of course Qiu Shui wanted to go.

Gu Ming also shouted: "And me, there are already bars everywhere in America, so it's really nothing to go there."

"I'm not going. I have an early shift tomorrow."

"Forget it, I don't want to go to that kind of place."

…………

Although a few people said they would not go, the vast majority said they would go.

"Xinyi, are you going?" Zhou Chen asked Xinyi.

Zhao Yingnan said worriedly, "Forget about Xinyi. He is not well yet."

Xinyi said, "I've never been to a bar before, Yaodao, how about we go with everyone else?"

"But your health?" Yang Yue asked worriedly.

Xinyi smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'm stable now. As long as I don't do strenuous activities or drink alcohol, I'll be fine."

Zhou Chen also said: "Yes, we just need to stop him from drinking. Besides, he has been in the hospital for such a long time, he should go out and move around."

Qiushui and the others also agreed: "Yes, Xinyi, you haven't been with us for a long time. It's okay to go out and play together."

Xinyi looked at Yang Yue hopefully: "Demon Sword."

Yang Yue looked at Xinyi's expectant eyes, and finally couldn't bear it, so she nodded and agreed.
