The world of film and television begins from childhood

"After all this time, you still thought I was joking with you. I wrote it, of course I wrote it, the money is really here. If I didn't write it, how could there be so much money?"

"What poem did you write? Read it to mom." Li Suhua became excited.

Zhou Chen said, "Wait a minute. I brought back a magazine last time. My poem is on it. It's also in the newspaper. I'll find it for you."

Back in the room, Zhou Chen took out magazines and newspapers from under the pillow and placed them in front of Li Suhua.

"Look, here, and this, and that, these are all poems I wrote."

"Child, I can't read. Come on, read to me."

Zhou Chen chuckled twice, then read the poems one by one to Li Suhua.

Li Suhua listened very carefully, and after listening, she happily shouted: "Good, it sounds great."

"Mom, can you understand?"

"You bastard, are you asking for a beating? Mom doesn't understand, but this is written by my son, so it's good, well written and well read."

Zhou Chen was amused by the old lady's words.

"Mom, I'll keep some of this money, and you can keep the rest. And these tickets, you can spend them when you have time, especially the meat tickets. I haven't eaten meat for a long time since I used them all."

Li Suhua: "You only know how to eat meat. I want to save it for the end of the year and buy more meat."

"No need. The salary at the publishing house is very good. We get some meat coupons every month. Besides, my dad and his family won't be back this year. The food we eat during the New Year will be the same as what we eat now."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go buy some tomorrow and make it for you when I get back. This is your earned money."

"Let's eat together. And here are the industrial coupons. If you think your family needs anything, just buy them."

"I'll take care of these things. Don't worry about them. Just work hard and leave a good impression on your boss."

"I know, Mom. You've said this eight hundred times."

"You kid, you only know how to talk back."

Chapter 555: Persuading Mother to Be a Matchmaker, Tu Zhiqiang

Perhaps because his husband, eldest son and daughter were not at home, Zhou Chen could clearly feel that Li Suhua's attitude towards him had changed drastically.

As far as I can remember, he had the lowest status in this family.

Whenever there was something delicious, his parents would give it to Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingyi first, and then it would be his turn.

This is not only true in terms of food, but also in terms of clothing.

Before this, 90% of his clothes were worn by Zhou Bingyi.

If you are lucky, you can get a new piece of clothing during the New Year. If you are unlucky, you may not get a new piece of clothing for the whole year.

Supplies were very scarce now, but the problem was that Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingyi had new clothes every year, more than one piece, while he could only wear old ones.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Zhou Bingkun had complained before, but it was of no use.

Just like that coat, Zhou Bingyi was leaving and the Corps would issue him a new one, so we thought of giving it to him. If there was no new one, you do not know whether he would give it to him.

This is not Zhou Chen judging others by his own standards, but the fact.

There's nothing wrong with wearing old clothes to save money, but no one would feel comfortable if they kept picking up other people's leftovers.

Before Zhou Chen went to work at the publishing house, Li Suhua was always thinking about her eldest son and daughter. Even though her daughter had done something extremely rebellious, she still thought about her every day and wanted her man to forgive Zhou Rong.

It was only after Zhou Chen became "successful" that Li Suhua's attitude changed greatly. She no longer let Zhou Chen do housework and always prepared delicious food for him.

Zhou Chen came here through time and space, and he could feel the different treatment from his parents. However, Zhou Bingkun was able to always maintain an optimistic attitude, and got along well with his older brother and sister, which shows that he has a really good character.

"Mom, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Dinner was over and Li Suhua was clearing the table: "What is it that you want to discuss with me?"

Zhou Chen said: "I like a girl and want to marry her, so I need your help in matchmaking."

When Li Suhua heard this, she immediately stopped caring about cleaning up her meal and looked at Zhou Chen in surprise: "Kun'er, you said you fell in love with a girl and wanted to get married. How old are you?"

Zhou Chen: "Seventeen, not young anymore. I didn't say I want to get married now, I just want to settle down first."

Li Suhua asked curiously: "Which girl is this? Is she Chunyan from your aunt's family?"

In Li Suhua's memory, the woman who had the best relationship with her youngest son was Qiao Chunyan, so she thought Zhou Chen was talking about Qiao Chunyan.

"That's definitely not Chunyan. There's no chance that she and I can be together."

"Why not Chunyan? Mom thinks Chunyan is pretty good. In our Guangzi community, apart from your sister, Chunyan is the most beautiful. She has a good personality and is very filial. If it is her, Mom really has no objection."

Because she has a good relationship with Chunyan's mother, she knows Qiao Chunyan better.

But after she finished speaking, she shook her head again: "No, that was in the past, Kun'er, you work in a publishing house now, and you can write poems and publish them. You are a cultured person, you can find someone better. Are you interested in a girl with good conditions?"

Zhou Chen felt helpless seeing Li Suhua guessing all sorts of things.

Women, you change your face so quickly.

She just said that Qiao Chunyan was good, but now she feels that she is not worthy of him. As expected of her, she is an old mother. In her eyes, her son is the best.

"Mom, the girl I like doesn't come from a well-off family. She lives in Taiping Hutong."

"What?"

When Li Suhua heard this, she immediately became anxious: "You're attracted to the girl from Taiping Hutong? Don't you know what kind of place that is? What kind of good girl can come from there? Kun'er, don't scare me. I can't stand being scared."

"How can this be called scary? Taiping Hutong is indeed a bad place, but how much better can our Guangzi film be?"

After living for so many years and traveling through so many film and television worlds, Zhou Chen has long since let go.

The saying "marry someone of equal social status" makes a lot of sense, but it also depends on the situation.

Being well matched does not necessarily mean happiness, and being unequally matched does not necessarily mean unhappiness. It is just a matter of probability.

Zheng Juan's family conditions are not good, but she is a good person. A good person can change everything and can adapt to the gap in family conditions.

"Who is it? Who is at home? Tell me quickly."

"Her name is Zheng Juan. Besides her, there is an elderly mother and a young blind brother at home."

Li Suhua, who was not very satisfied to begin with, became anxious when he heard about this situation.

"Zhou Bingkun, are you crazy? Why do you have to find a woman from such a family when you can find anyone else? You want to piss off your mother to death, don't you?"

Zhou Chen looked at the furious Li Suhua, neither angry nor anxious.

"Mom, my criteria for finding a wife are hardworking, kind, and good to me. Why do I have to find someone with good conditions?"

"Although Zheng Juan's family conditions are not good, she is very filial. She did not go to the countryside in order to take care of her mother and brother. If she becomes your daughter-in-law, she will definitely respect you well in the future."

Li Suhua snorted, "I'm fine, why do I need a filial daughter-in-law? Kun'er, listen to me. I'm an experienced person. With our family conditions, you can definitely find a better job. If you find this Zheng Juan, you will have to support the whole family by yourself. The burden is too heavy and you can't bear it."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say, Mom. I really like Zheng Juan, and I will marry her in this life. If you want to do this for my own good, you should agree to me."

"It's for your own good that I can't agree to you. You are still young and don't know how hard life is. Mom won't harm you. If you stay with Zheng Juan, you will regret it in the future."

"Mom, I'm grown up now and I know how to judge people. Besides, you didn't intervene in the affairs between my eldest brother and Hao Dongmei, or between Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng. Why do you have so many requirements for me to find a wife?"

Upon hearing this, Li Suhua said angrily, "How can it be the same?"

"How are they different? According to what you said, the conditions are, Hao Dongmei's family used to be high-ranking officials in the province, but they were also overthrown. In terms of conditions, she is not much better than Zheng Juan; let alone Feng Huacheng. Zhou Rong even gave up her family for him."

Li Suhua angrily scolded, "You damn child, are you really going to be happy only if you want to piss your mother off to death? Your eldest brother and Hao Dongmei were already dating before her family fell into ruin. If they don't get together just because her parents fell into ruin, how will others view our family?"

"As for your sister, she just acted hot-headed for a moment. Your father has already said that he will not forgive her. Do you want to learn from your sister?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chen laughed.

Won't forgive?

In the end, he ran to Gui Province on his own initiative and reconciled with Zhou Rong.

"Mom, okay, you won't know until you get to know her. Anyway, I'll tell you the truth. I will marry her in this life. If you don't agree, then I will be single for the rest of my life."

Zhou Chen acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

If he was facing Zhou Zhigang, he would definitely not use this trick, but facing the soft-hearted Li Suhua, this trick would definitely be useful.

"I'll beat you to death, you damn kid."

Li Suhua slapped Zhou Chen on the arm without any hesitation, "What are you talking about? Are you really going to piss me off to death?"

Then she sighed and continued, "I, your mother, cannot make the decision on such an important matter. I must ask your father. So, you can write another letter to your father and ask for his opinion. If he has no objection, then I have no objection either."

"What if he has a problem with it?"

"What do you mean by 'he'? He's your father. If your father has any objections, then I can't do anything about it. You go and convince him yourself."

"I think we should not tell him for the time being. He must have been very angry about my sister's matter. If he disagrees with me again, I don't know how angry he will be."

Li Suhua rolled her eyes at him and said, "You also know that your father won't agree. You just want me to agree first because you think I'm easy to talk to, right?"

Zhou Chen said: "Mom, I really didn't lie to you. If you want to know whether a person is good or not, you should get to know them first. When you meet Zheng Juan, maybe you will like her."

Li Suhua advised: "Kun'er, Mom doesn't know how much you like her, but you are still young now, don't think too much, when you meet someone better, you will soon forget her."

Zhou Chen replied with a serious face: "Mom, I told you the truth, the same thing I said just now, in this life, I will not marry anyone but Zheng Juan."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "Mom, I'm going back to my room first. The novel story I wrote will be published in a magazine next month. I have to work hard."

When she heard that it was a serious matter, Li Suhua's expression changed instantly: "Okay, then go quickly, mom won't disturb you anymore."

While washing the pots and dishes, Li Suhua glanced at her son in the room from time to time. She was thinking about what had just happened.

She said she disagreed, but actually she still kept it in mind. She was considering whether she should go to Taiping Hutong to inquire about Zheng Juan.

The next day after get off work, Zhou Chen went to the sawmill. After waiting for a while, he saw Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao riding out on their bicycles.

"National Day, catch up."

"Hey, Bingkun."

When Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao saw that the person who called them was Zhou Chen, they were very surprised and quickly came over.

"Bingkun, why are you here?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You two treated me to a meal when you received your first month's salary. I received my salary yesterday, and today I specially came to invite you to my house for a drink."

"Oh, the salary has been paid. The salary at the publishing house should be higher than that at our factory. How much did you pay?"

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao were both full of curiosity.

Earlier, when they learned that their childhood friend Zhou Bingkun had actually gone to work as an editor at a publishing house, they were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.

They all grew up together. How could they not know that Zhou Bingkun was quite capable?

At that time, they vowed that Zhou Chen would not be able to stay in the publishing house for more than a few days before his true colors were revealed.

But contrary to their expectations, Zhou Chen was not fired but instead settled down in the publishing house.

Today, Zhou Chen actually said that he had received his salary and wanted to treat them both to a drink, which made them both surprised and happy.

Zhou Chen said: "Twenty-six were issued, and there were also a few grain coupons and meat coupons."

Sun Ganchao's eyes widened immediately: "26? Are the salaries at publishing houses that high? Guoqing and I only had two days off a month and only got 18. You only had five or six days off a month and still got 26. Isn't the gap too big?"

Xiao Guoqing also nodded repeatedly. There would be no harm without comparison.

Although they were childhood friends and had a deep brotherly bond, comparison was ubiquitous. The two of them worked so hard but only got so little money, while Zhou Chen did the easy work but earned more than them. Of course they felt unbalanced.

Zhou Chen was a man who could see what these two childhood friends were thinking at a glance.

"Different jobs mean different salaries. You only see my relaxed side, but not my busy side. We editors also have tasks to do. We read and write articles every day, which makes us dizzy. But it's different for you. You don't have any pressure at all. You get paid the same amount no matter how much you work."

Xiao Guoqing is a simple man. After listening to Zhou Chen's words, he sighed and said, "Kun'er is right. If I have to read and write articles, you might as well kill me. I still like doing this kind of work."

Sun Ganchao said, "Kun, you got paid so much, you should do something good today, right?"

"Of course, the meat and wine are ready. My mother is cooking at home, waiting for us to come back."

Among the six little gentlemen in the plot, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao are really good compared to the other three.

Perhaps it was because they grew up together, and they were both very loyal to Zhou Bingkun.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Chen was willing to play with them. Anyway, he really had no intention of having any interaction with Cao Debao and the other two in the future.

The three were about to leave when suddenly a man came over on a bicycle and shouted at them.
