The world of film and television begins from childhood

Don't talk about being siblings or anything like that, that's all bullshit. From Zhou Rong's behavior, it can be seen that she doesn't even take him seriously, so why should he think about her?

To be fair, even Zhou Bingyi's wife Hao Dongmei made greater contribution to the Zhou family than Zhou Rong.

Speaking of Hao Dongmei, when he wrote to Zhou Bingyi before, he mentioned it vaguely in the letter, asking Zhou Bingyi to pay more attention to Hao Dongmei, and that it was cold in winter and he should be more careful in doing things.

This was all he could do. He couldn't just tell Zhou Bingyi that Hao Dongmei would fall into the well, causing health problems and making her infertile.

Although there is no such thing as time travel in this era, being able to predict the future is indeed scary. Zhou Chen will never expose this fact about himself, even to his closest relatives.

As for whether Hao Dongmei can escape this disaster, it depends on her luck. Anyway, he has done everything he can.

After chatting with Gong Weize for a few words, Zhou Chen was about to go back, but Gong Weize suddenly stopped him.

"Bingkun."

Zhou Chen looked at Gong Weize in confusion. He was puzzled by the other party's conflicted look.

"Uncle Xiao Gong, is there something wrong with you? If you have anything, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can."

Gong Weize also has many roles in the plot. Although he later became a corrupt official, we have to acknowledge his achievements in the first half of his life.

Especially in Zhou Bingkun's memory, Gong Weize was definitely a responsible police officer who was very enthusiastic towards the villagers in Guangzi Village.

This is Zhou Bingkun's impression of Gong Weize. After all, he was young and couldn't see more.

But Zhou Chen knew that Gong Weize was a very tactful person who knew how to deal with people. The fact that he could hold on to his position as a police officer in the Guangzi area showed that he was quite capable.

Gong Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally stated his purpose.

"It's Gong Bin."

"What happened to Gong Bin?"

Gong Bin is Gong Weize's nephew and has lived with him since he was very young. Gong Bin is a few years younger than Zhou Chen. Because he witnessed his father's death at a young age, he was mentally traumatized and became a mental patient.

Gong Wei said: "It is time for Gong Bin to find a job. I am limited in my ability and cannot find a suitable job for him, so I would like to ask you for help."

At the end of his speech, his expression seemed very awkward. After all, he was the elder, but now he came to ask Zhou Chen, a junior, for help, which made him feel ashamed.

But even though it was embarrassing, he still had to speak up for his nephew.

"Ask me to help you find a job for Gong Bin?"

Zhou Chen looked surprised, then frowned and said, "Uncle Gong, it's not that I don't want to help, but I have limited abilities and I really can't find a good job for Gong Bin. If it's a temporary job, I can still ask someone to think of a way, but I think a temporary job, Uncle Gong, you don't think it's worth it, right?"

Gong Weize certainly looked down on temporary workers. In this idea, temporary workers are inherently inferior to regular employees. If there is a choice, no one would choose a temporary worker, only a regular worker.

"Bingkun, I heard that you are doing very well at Jiangliao Publishing House and you are now a leader. You must know a lot of people. If you can help me solve Gong Bin's work problem, I will never refuse you if you come to me for anything in the future."

Although he is just a local police officer, Gong Weize still has some power. He believes that he can help Zhou Chen in some ways.

Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "Uncle Gong, it's not that I don't want to help, I'm just really powerless. If I had such great ability, I would have found a job for my girlfriend Zheng Juan a long time ago, so that she wouldn't have to go out and set up a stall in the wind and rain all day long, don't you think?"

Gong Weize's face flashed with disappointment, and then he asked tentatively: "I understand, Bingkun, I heard that you know Qu Shuji from the soy sauce factory?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chen immediately understood Gong Weize's purpose. It turned out that he had said so much just to pave the way for this sentence.

"Uncle Gong, I do know Qu Shuji from the soy sauce factory, but we only met once, and I heard that Qu Shuji is a very upright person. If you want me to ask Qu Shuji for help, I think it's best not to have this idea. Otherwise, there might be some hope, but if I go to Qu Shuji, there will be no hope at all."

"Is Qu Shuji really so impartial?"

Gong Wei was a little skeptical. He thought Zhou Chen was unwilling to help.

Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said, "This is true. You can find out what kind of person Qu Shuji is by asking around at the soy sauce factory. I can only say that you can find anyone, but don't even think of following Qu Shuji's path."

Gong Weize's face looked quite ugly, but he soon returned to normal. If one plan doesn't work, then try another one.

"If that's the case, then forget it. Bingkun, I heard that you have a good relationship with Cai Xiaoguang?"

Zhou Chen's eye twitched. This Gong Weize really would not give up until he achieved his goal. Since Qu Shuji was not doing well, he started to target Cai Xiaoguang.

As for his purpose in mentioning Cai Xiaoguang, Zhou Chen naturally knew it clearly.

Cai Xiaoguang is nothing, his father is the key. Now, Cai Xiaoguang's father has been restored to his original position as the head of the Provincial Department of Commerce, with terrifying power.

Cai Xiaoguang was able to become the office director of a unit like a tractor factory when he was in his early twenties, not because of his ability, but because of his father's help.

When Gong Wei talked about Cai Xiaoguang, it was naturally for Cai Xiaoguang's father.

Zhou Chen said, "Uncle Xiao Gong, I'm not really that familiar with Cai Xiaoguang. He and my sister are classmates. If you want to get to know Cai Xiaoguang through me, I can help you with that. But I can't say whether he's willing to help you or not."

After thinking it over, he decided to help Gong Weize a little. He would just be a middleman since they would meet each other sooner or later. As for whether it would succeed or not, it had nothing to do with him.

Gong Wei was overjoyed, "That's great, Bingkun, thank you, thank you so much."

Zhou Chen said: "If I ask Cai Xiaoguang for help directly, it may be a bit troublesome. So, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year when I get married, I will invite Cai Xiaoguang to my house to attend the wedding and introduce you to each other then."

Gong Wei held Zhou Chen's hand tightly, his face full of gratitude: "Thank you, Bingkun, no matter what troubles you encounter in the future, just come to me. As long as I can help, I will never refuse."

"You don't have to be so polite, Uncle Gong. It's getting late. I'll go back first."

"Go, go back quickly, don't let your mother worry."

Because he decided to get married on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Chen has been thinking these days about who to invite. Although he is not planning on having a big wedding, he still needs to invite some people.

The most important thing for Chinese people is face. He will definitely invite colleagues and leaders from the publishing house, but as for whether they come or not, it depends on themselves.

Save your money!

Zhou Zhigang took a train from Shancheng to Gui Province. Fortunately, Shancheng was not too far from the area of ​​Gui Province he was going to, so he did not spend too much time on the road.

From the letter sent by Zhou Chen, Zhou Zhigang learned that his daughter Zhou Rong was in a village called Jinba Village in the mountainous area of ​​Guizhou Province.

It’s one thing to know, but it’s not easy to find it.

It took Zhou Zhigang a whole day to ask, walk and search before he finally found Jinba Village.

Zhou Zhigang met his daughter Zhou Rong as he wished. However, he felt extremely sad and upset when he saw that Zhou Rong actually lived in a cave.

As the only daughter, she had been the princess of their family since she was a child. When had she ever suffered such hardship or lived in such a place, not to mention wearing clothes full of patches?

The father and daughter quarreled for a while, and finally Zhou Zhigang compromised first and forgave Zhou Rong. He had no authority as a father at all and was easily controlled by his daughter.

Later, Zhou Zhigang also met his son-in-law Feng Huacheng. Although he was very angry with Feng Huacheng, he forgave Feng Huacheng for some reason and they got along very well.

Zhou Zhigang has been staying at his daughter's place for a few days. Not long ago, he sent a telegram to his wife and children in his hometown, saying that he would not go back home for the New Year and would spend the New Year with his daughter and son-in-law.

That night, Zhou Zhigang had dinner with his daughter and son-in-law, and the three of them were chatting happily.

Actually, Zhou Zhigang was not feeling comfortable living here these days, because the conditions here of Zhou Rong and his family were very poor, and he could not live together with his daughter and son-in-law, so he slept alone on a makeshift bed made of benches. He had a sore back these days from sleeping so much.

However, for Zhou Zhigang, although he felt physically uncomfortable, he was very satisfied mentally.

"Dad, if you don't go home for the New Year, I don't know how my mom and Bingkun will blame me." Zhou Rong said to her father with a smile.

Zhou Zhigang also smiled and said, "Your mother definitely won't do that, but I can't say for sure about that brat Bingkun. He's a very bad boy."

Zhou Rong said, "Bingkun is indeed a bad guy, but isn't he working at Jiangliao Publishing House now? Dad, I only know that he works there, but I don't know how he got in."

Her eldest brother Zhou Bingyi had mentioned this matter in a letter he wrote to her before. Zhou Zhigang also mentioned it when he came a few days ago, but she didn't know the specific reasons.

Feng Huacheng was also very curious and asked, "Dad, I heard Zhou Rong mention her brother Bingkun. Didn't he say he didn't even graduate from junior high school? Jiangliao Publishing House is the best publishing house in Jiangliao Province. How did he get in as an editor?"

He learned from Zhou Rong about Zhou Bingkun's situation, so he felt a little unbalanced. He was a famous poet in the capital, but he had fallen to the point of being reformed here.

On the contrary, someone like Zhou Bingkun, who only attended the first grade of junior high school and had little education, was able to work as an editor in the best publishing house in Jiangliao Province. The difference is too big.

Zhou Zhigang said, "Rong'er, don't say you find it strange. Even I, as a father, find it incredible. Bingkun's education level is not enough to work in a publishing house, let alone be a content editor."

"Yeah, Dad, you think so too."

Feng Huacheng felt unbalanced, and so did Zhou Rong. She was an excellent student in Guangzi Film School, and her brother Zhou Bingkun's cultural level was far lower than hers, not to mention compared with her husband Feng Huacheng.

As a result, her younger brother Zhou Bingkun is now living better than them, and she feels more or less unbalanced.

Zhou Zhigang said, "Bingkun said in his letter that he was able to get into the publishing house because he met a magazine editor who admired him very much, so he recruited him to the publishing house as an editor. As for why that person admired him, Bingkun didn't say in his letter."

Chapter 566 Zhou Rong's ridicule, marriage

To be honest, among the three children, Zhou Zhigang values ​​his eldest son Zhou Bingyi the most, loves and loves his daughter Zhou Rong the most, and hates and despises his youngest son Zhou Bingkun the most.

But Zhou Zhigang himself did not realize it.

He is very relieved and happy that his youngest son found a job, but he is even happier to reconcile with his daughter.

If Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong went to the publishing house to become editors, he would not have any doubts.

But when he heard that Zhou Chen could work at a publishing house, his first reaction was disbelief. This was certainly because Zhou Bingkun had not lived up to his expectations in the past, but more importantly, he felt that his youngest son would not be successful all of a sudden. This was a prejudice that had formed from childhood to adulthood.

"Bingkun said in the letter that he not only works in a publishing house, but also has articles and poems published in magazines."

When Zhou Rong heard this, she couldn't help laughing, but her laughter was full of sarcasm.

"Dad, stop teasing me. With Bingkun's grades, does he know what poetry is or what a good essay is? If he could write poetry, even sows could climb trees."

Zhou Zhigang glared at Zhou Rong and said, "How can you say that about your brother? No matter how useless he is, he is still your brother."

Although he was scolding his daughter, his thoughts were actually similar to Zhou Rong's. He also felt that his youngest son was not cut out for being a writer, let alone writing poetry or essays.

"By the way, your brother also sent me a few magazines. He said that the poems he wrote are in them. I'll show them to you."

Zhou Zhigang rummaged through his bag for a while, then returned to the table with two magazines.

"Rong'er, Hua Cheng, Bingkun said that the poems he wrote are on it. I don't understand poems. You two can help me see. How is his writing?"

These two magazines were indeed sent to Zhou Zhigang by Zhou Chen, but it was not Zhou Chen's original intention. Instead, Li Suhua insisted that he send them to him, saying that it would make Zhou Zhigang happy.

Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng both leaned over. They both had a great obsession with poetry.

Feng Huacheng became famous by writing poetry. His only talent was writing poetry. The reason why Zhou Rong came from afar to find Feng Huacheng and was willing to marry Feng Huacheng, who was more than ten years older than her, was also because of a good poem Feng Huacheng wrote.

"Facing the sea, spring flowers blooming, how could it be this poem?"

When Feng Huacheng saw the page Zhou Zhigang was pointing to, his expression changed instantly, and he cried out in disbelief.

Zhou Rong was also struck by lightning and looked at the poem in front of her in disbelief.

This is Zhou Chen's first published poem. After a few years, it has already spread all over the country. Anyone who is engaged in literature and pays attention to literature knows this poem.

Many people have rated this poem as one of the best poems of the past decade.

Zhou Rong was shocked. Even her lover Feng Huacheng had written many famous poems, but none of them could be compared with this one.

This poem was written by her brother, and she would not believe it even if you beat her to death.

"Dad, you must be mistaken. This poem was written by the famous poet Zhou Chen. It was not written by Bingkun at all. He lied to you, didn't he?"

Zhou Zhigang said: "No, Bingkun said that he did not use his own name when writing poems, but a pen name, his pen name is Zhou Chen."

"impossible."

Zhou Rong screamed and jumped up, shaking her head. "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Bingkun didn't even finish the first grade of junior high school, and Zhou Chen is the most famous poet in the country in recent years. He is a rising star in the literary world. How could it be Bingkun? Dad, you must have been fooled."

Seeing his daughter so excited, Zhou Zhigang was also puzzled: "Rong'er, are you telling the truth?"

Zhou Rong was a little out of her mind at this moment, but Feng Huacheng managed to remain calm and explained to Zhou Zhigang.

"Dad, Zhou Rong is right. Zhou Chen appeared a few years ago. In just two or three years, he became one of the most famous poets in the country. He is very famous. Although I have never met him, I am sure that he is definitely not Bingkun. It's not that Bingkun is not good enough, but Bingkun is too young. It is impossible for him to have such experience, let alone write so many emotionally rich poems."

Zhou Zhigang still hesitated: "Although Bingkun is naughty, he won't lie to me, right?"

Zhou Rong looked helpless and said, "Dad, you also know that Bingkun is naughty. If you were with him, he would definitely not dare to lie to you. But now you are far away in Shancheng. Even if he lied to you, you are too far away to do anything.

I think he did it on purpose, but his behavior is not good. He has no ability and there is no need to steal other people's names. It has been such a long time since we last met, and he has become like this. Dad, you must write a letter and talk to him properly, so that he won't go astray."

Zhou Zhigang's face turned very ugly. He felt that what Zhou Rong said made some sense. Could it be that his youngest son really lied to him on purpose in order to please him?

But he was still a little hesitant. Although Bingkun was naughty, he wouldn't do such a thing, right?

It seems I need to write a letter back and ask clearly.

Zhou Zhigang spent the New Year with his daughter and son-in-law, while Zhou Chen stayed at home with Li Suhua.

On the night of New Year's Eve, because Zheng Juan had not yet married, Zhou Chen and Li Suhua were the only ones at home.

Because it was New Year's Eve, Li Suhua cooked a large table of dishes, most of which were meat.

"Kun'er, today is New Year's Eve. Even though there are only two of us at home, we still have to have a good New Year. Let's eat."

"Well, Mom, don't be sad. This year I'm the only one accompanying you, but next year's New Year will be different. Maybe you'll be able to hold your grandson by then."

Zhou Chen's words made Li Suhua laugh out loud: "Then mom will wait for you. If you can't hold your grandson, I will beat you, you little brat."
