The world of film and television begins from childhood

"You just got off work, drink some water."

Zhou Chen was not polite, nor did he show any disgust. He took the cup. The water was just the right temperature, so he drank it all in one gulp.

"Guangming, get a candied haws for your brother Bingkun."

Zheng Guangming responded crisply, "Okay." Then he fumbled to pick up a string of candied haws and handed it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen has eaten a lot of candied haws in the past two months and is a little tired of it, but he knows that this is Zheng Juan's kindness and she can't give him any other delicious food except candied haws, so he accepted it.

"Thank you, Guangming."

"Brother Bingkun, the candied haws my sister makes are really delicious, right?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Guangming is right. I like the candied haws made by your sister."

Zheng Juan's face flushed. After a few months, she and Zhou Chen had become very familiar with each other. Although they had not yet established a relationship, in fact, her heart was already with Zhou Chen.

While biting the candied haws, Zhou Chen took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket.

"Zheng Juan, take these."

When Zheng Juan saw so much money and tickets, she quickly declined: "Why are you giving me money? I'm treating you to the candied haws."

Zhou Chen said solemnly: "This is not the money for the candied haws. I gave it to you, Zheng Juan. I don't know if you agree or not, but in my heart, you are my future wife and I am your man. It is only natural for me to support you."

"You, why are you suddenly saying this?" Zheng Juan's face turned red with shame, but she was happy in her heart.

Zhou Chen added: "I'm telling you this so that you don't have to feel so much pressure. I don't want to hide it from you because I'm still young and my mother doesn't want me to find a wife so soon. But I have a different idea from her. I will only choose one person for my whole life, and I think you are the one I'm looking for."

"As long as you agree, I will give you some of my salary and coupons every month. Zheng Juan, remember, this is not charity. I hope you can use the money I give you to buy some delicious food and take care of your body. You will become my wife in the future, but you have to give birth to children for me, and you can't do without a good body."

"I can promise you that within three years, I will marry you home, so don't worry, you marry me, we will be a family, your relatives are my relatives, and I will take care of your mother and your brother."

Zhou Chen said so much in one breath just to comfort Zheng Juan. Anyway, he had already revealed his feelings before, and now he could express it more thoroughly without seeming abrupt.

Zheng Juan was stunned and looked at Zhou Chen stupidly. Zhou Chen's straightforward and domineering words had a great impact on her, so that she didn't know what to say for a while.

"What's wrong? Come back to your senses."

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Zheng Juan, which woke her up.

Her face flushed and her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Zhou Bingkun, why are you so nice to me? I am just an uneducated country woman. I am not worthy of you."

Zhou Chen said softly, "Don't say such stupid things. If I say you deserve it, then you deserve it. I treat you well because you deserve it. If you feel bad about it, then when you marry me in the future, just serve me well and be a good wife and mother."

"I……"

"Alright, don't say anything touching. Just remember that you are my Zhou Bingkun's intended wife. Don't think about anything else. Leave it to me."

After that, Zhou Chen smiled and touched Zheng Guangming's head, and asked: "Guangming, Brother Bingkun wants to be your brother-in-law, are you willing?"

Zheng Guangming nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, Brother Bingkun, you are a good person, I want you to be my brother-in-law."

"What a good boy."

Zheng Guangming is really a very obedient and sensible child. In the plot, he helps his sister take care of her little nephew. Later, he went to the Zhou family and helped take care of Feng Yue. Finally, in order not to drag down his sister, he chose to become a monk.

So, although Zheng Guangming is blind, he is as kind-hearted as Zheng Juan.

Zhou Chen has already decided to marry Zheng Juan, so naturally he will not let Zheng Guangming become a monk like in the TV series.

Opening his bag, Zhou Chen took out a paper bag and placed it in front of Zheng Juan.

"Zheng Juan, this is the medicine I prepared. Go back and make it for Guangming. Although it cannot cure his eyes, it can still play a role in preventing his eyes from getting worse. When the medical conditions are better, we can perform surgery on him. There is still a chance that his eyesight will recover a little."

When Zheng Juan heard this, she asked excitedly, "Is there really a cure for Guangming's eyes?"

Zhou Chen said affirmatively: "Believe me, I won't lie to you. If I say it can be cured, then it can definitely be cured. It just takes a few years. You don't have to be so anxious."

If it was after the millennium, no, there was no need to wait until then, even if it was the 90s, Zhou Chen would have a % chance of curing Zheng Guangming.

But the current medical conditions in the country are too poor, and he has no access to the hospital's sophisticated equipment, so he is unable to treat Zheng Guangming.

Although traditional Chinese medicine is profound, it is not omnipotent. Zheng Guangming's condition is already very serious and he still needs surgical operation.

"I believe you."

Zheng Juan's expression was serious; she really believed Zhou Chen.

"Then you can accept these money and tickets first. Just consider it as a little gift I prepared for you in advance."

Zheng Juan was embarrassed: "Don't talk nonsense. If you say that again, I don't want it anymore."

"Okay, I won't say anything more. Put it away quickly."

Zheng Juan quickly collected the money and tickets given by Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was very happy when he saw it.

The fact that Zheng Juan was willing to accept the money and tickets he gave her meant that she had accepted him. Otherwise, with her personality, she would never have accepted them.

Time has entered the 70s, and Zhou Chen has been in this world for more than a year.

Zhou Chen is still working in the publishing house. More than a year has passed, and he has been promoted from a newcomer to the backbone of Golden Land magazine.

His outstanding working ability and proficiency in foreign languages ​​enabled him to do very well in the publishing house. In addition to working in the magazine editorial department, he was often assigned other work and helped out in other departments.

Because Zhou Chen was very resourceful in dealing with people, even though he was a little bit aggressive, he did not cause any dissatisfaction among people.

Although a publishing house is somewhat similar to a small government agency, there are also huge differences. It can be considered a clean government office. People who work here may occasionally engage in intrigue, but generally speaking, it is relatively peaceful.

What's more, Zhou Chen is very capable and the president pays special attention to him, so no one bothers him.

Anyway, for Zhou Chen, he had a pretty comfortable life over the past year.

As for his salary, it has increased from the original 26 to the current 30. In addition to his daily writing and the occasional two poems, on average he can get about per month.

As for money, he did not have much pursuit for the time being. He gave part of the money he earned to his mother Li Suhua to subsidize the household expenses, and gave part to Zheng Juan.

There are many opportunities to make money, but it is better to keep a low profile during this period. When this wave passes, there will be plenty of opportunities to make big money.

If I were to say what the biggest gain during this period was, it was that my relationship with Zheng Juan had become much closer. Now Zheng Juan no longer objects to holding hands with Zhou Chen, and sometimes they could even kiss each other secretly.

Aunt Zheng even treated Zhou Chen as her son-in-law. She would ask about his well-being every time they met. Although she also wanted Zhou Chen to marry Zheng Juan as soon as possible, she also knew that Zhou Chen was still young, so she did not urge him.

Zheng Guangming was the happiest one, because every time Zhou Chen came to see them, he would bring him delicious food, and sometimes even toys, which made him feel closer to Zhou Chen, his future brother-in-law, than to his own sister.

The only thing Zhou Chen wants to do most urgently now is to find a house.

Living in Guangzi Pian is really inconvenient. Even after more than a year, Zhou Chen still can't fully adapt.

You have to fetch water and go to a public toilet. When it rains, the road is completely impassable, and there are other things to do.

But this is not the biggest reason why he wants to move out. The biggest reason why he wants to leave Guangzi Pian is that there are only two rooms in Guangzi Pian. It would be fine when only he and Li Suhua are at home, each with one room.

But once he gets married, or his father and elder brother come back, it will be very inconvenient.

The sound insulation of that house is so poor that it would be very inconvenient if I wanted to do something after getting married.

Thinking of what Wu Qian said in the TV series, the scene where several people in a family slept in one bed and the father-in-law and daughter-in-law squeezed into one bed, Zhou Chen felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it.

Others can tolerate it, but he can't.

However, it is not easy to own your own house now. Ready-made houses are not allowed to be bought and sold, and can only be "exchanged", but this is not safe.

So Zhou Chen was thinking about whether to rent a house.

But if he rents a house, Li Suhua will probably scold him to death for renting a house instead of living in a good home.

Zhou Chen asked Shao Jingwen about the publishing house's situation. The publishing house was actually eligible for housing allocation, but it was not easy to meet the requirements.

Take Shao Jingwen himself for example. He worked in a publishing house for many years and only got an apartment after he became the editor-in-chief.

For an ordinary employee like him now, it is impossible to even think about getting a separate house.

But it's not completely hopeless. If you can have a high enough status in a publishing house, or even join the Writers Association and get some position, it's still possible to get a house.

Zhou Chen is now working towards this goal.

In the Zhou family's inner room, Li Suhua was sitting on the kang and chatting.

"Kun'er's mother, it's already winter and the New Year is coming soon. Will Kun's father come back this year?"

Chunyan's mother took a sip of the teacup and asked Li Suhua with a smile.

Speaking of this, Li Suhua said with a look of resentment on her face: "Kun's father wrote to me last month, saying that he couldn't leave there for the time being, and he would not come back this year, but would come back during the Chinese New Year next year."

Chunyan's mother said, "That's such a pity. If his father doesn't come back, what about Bingyi and Rong'er?"

It was no secret in the Guangzi area that Zhou Rong went to work in the countryside in Guizhou. However, others did not know that Zhou Rong went there for Feng Huacheng. Only the Zhou family and Cai Xiaoguang knew this secret.

Li Suhua looked unhappy and said dryly, "Bingyi and his corps have some matters to attend to and will not be back this year. Rong'er is the same. This year's Spring Festival, Kun'er and I will spend it together."

Chunyan's mother sighed, "Ah, so, we can't go far away from home. Our two girls have a few days off during the New Year, so they can go home and get together."

Li Suhua, who was already feeling upset, felt even worse after hearing what Chunyan's mother said.

Seeing that Li Suhua looked unhappy, Chunyan's mother realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Mother Kun, to be honest, I really envy you. Look at how promising your three children are. Then look at our three daughters. Sigh, there's really no comparison."

Li Suhua's thoughts were indeed diverted. She smiled and said, "What kind of future do you have? Sister, I envy you. Your three daughters are so caring."

Chunyan's mother snorted, "You don't see how considerate she is, but she does worry a lot. Let's not talk about the two older ones in our family, they are both in the countryside, so it's just like that. But Chunyan, ah, look at the job she was assigned, a pedicure worker in a public bathhouse. Chunyan is a virgin, and I feel so upset when I ask her to do this job."

Having said this, she sighed again and again, feeling very uncomfortable.

After all, she was an activist in the street and had some power, but her daughter assigned her such a job, which made her feel very embarrassed.

But even though she was dissatisfied, Qiao Chunyan did not dare not go. Each young person who stayed in the city had only one chance to be assigned a job. If she did not go, she would be out of work.

Although being a pedicurist is not a decent job, it is a regular job and is better than being unemployed and hanging around at home.

Li Suhua didn't know how to comfort her old sisters, so she could only sit there and listen to Chunyan's mother complain.

Chunyan's mother complained for a while and then turned the topic to Zhou Chen.

"Your Bingkun is still the best. He works in a publishing house with a high salary and a decent position. Among us, there is no other guy like Bingkun who can compare to him."

Li Suhua said modestly: "What's good about it? It's just like that."

"That's not all. Being an editor in a publishing house means you're a cultured person, so respectable."

Li Suhua smiled but said nothing. In fact, she wanted to say that her youngest son not only had a decent job, but was also a great poet and writer.

But she still remembered that Zhou Chen had emphasized to her not to spread this matter, because it was a special period now, and it would be very troublesome if she was framed by a villain.

Li Suhua didn't understand any big principles, but similar things had happened too many times in recent years, so after being reminded by her son, she kept her mouth shut and didn't tell anyone about it.

For someone who likes to show off her son's success, she was feeling quite suffocated.

After chatting for a while, Chunyan's mother suddenly rolled her eyes and said quietly, "Kun'er's mother, we have known each other for many years, right?"

"It must have been nearly twenty years."

"We have never had any quarrels in all these years, so our relationship has always been very good."

"Yes, thanks to you for taking care of us, we are like real sisters. Why do you think of this?"

Chunyan's mother asked tentatively, "Do you think it would be better if sisters like us were to become closer relatives?"

"A kiss?"

Li Suhua looked confused and didn't understand what Chunyan's mother meant.

Chunyan's mother pursed her lips and said, "Our Chunyan and your Bingkun grew up together, and our two families know each other very well. If we let them be together, wouldn't it be like we are even closer relatives?"

The words were said so bluntly that Li Suhua's heart skipped a beat. If it were in the past, she would definitely be very happy to marry a daughter-in-law like Qiao Chunyan, but now...

She was not bragging. Just based on Bingkun's current job and income, there were countless people eyeing him. Although Qiao Chunyan was good, she felt that her son deserved better.

At the same time, she also understood that Chunyan's mother said this because her son is now promising.

"Sister, your Chunyan is beautiful, polite and sensible. To be honest, I like her from the bottom of my heart, but you also know our Kun'er's temper. He doesn't listen to me at all. Moreover, for such a big matter, his father is not here, so I dare not agree."

Chunyan's mother's face trembled inadvertently, and she still said with a smile: "I know Bingkun. He is a sensible and obedient child. He looks good, and I like him very much.

Think about it, we are neighbors, and our relationship is so close. If we become in-laws, there will be no parent-child conflicts for the two children. Our Chunyan is very hardworking and willing to serve others without hesitation. "

"As parents, we all want our children to be well. When it comes to finding a partner, we should look for someone we know well. Our two families happen to know each other well, don't you think?"

Li Suhua was somewhat moved by what she said. She felt that her son deserved better, but what the elder sisters said was also right. Chunyan had good conditions and was favored at home. If they really became in-laws, it would be really good.

"Sister, what you said makes sense, but you don't know about our Kun'er. He has a lot of ideas of his own now, and I can't control him. If he likes Chunyan, it's fine, but if he doesn't like Chunyan, what should I do?"

Chunyan's mother said with a smile: "That depends on our ability as mothers. They are still young, and we have to create opportunities for them. With more time to interact with them, they will naturally develop a good impression of each other."

Li Suhua's eyes lit up: "You mean, let them spend more time together?"

"Yes, that's the truth. I have no problem with this. I like Bingkun very much. I will have no objection to him becoming my son-in-law. I don't need any betrothal gifts."
