The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen said: "She is an adult now. She should be allowed to face some things on her own. This is also for her own good. Brother Xiaoguang, I know you don't have the heart to do it, but I still say that before helping her, consider yourself first."

He and Cai Xiaoguang stopped talking about this, and then they didn't bring up the topic again. Instead, they continued eating and drinking.

When Zhou Chen finished eating and drinking and returned home, he found that there were guests at home.

Chapter 583: College Entrance Examination Resumed, 'Stupid' Zheng Juan

It is very rare to have guests at home so late at night.

Zhou Chen recognized two of them at a glance. They were Xiao Guoqing's mother and Wu Qian. In addition, there were two other people, a man and a woman.

"This is?"

Zhou Chen asked Zheng Juan, and Zheng Juan shook her head.

"I don't know. Mom and Guangming took Ruirui and Yueyue out."

When Wu Qian and the other three saw Zhou Chen coming back, they all stood up. Wu Qian greeted him first: "Bingkun, you're back."

Zhou Chen nodded, and then said to Xiao Guoqing's mother: "Auntie, Wu Qian, what are you doing?"

Wu Qian didn't say anything, but Xiao Guoqing's mother suddenly bowed to Zhou Chen.

"Bingkun, Auntie came here today to ask for your help."

When Zhou Chen heard this, he immediately asked in confusion: "Did something happen to Guoqing?"

Wu Qian quickly said, "National Day is fine."

"That?"

Wu Qian glanced at her mother-in-law and said nothing, but Zhou Chen understood and looked at Xiao Guoqing's mother.

"Auntie, please sit down. If you have anything to say, please sit down and talk. Juan'er, go pour tea for Auntie and the others."

Mother Xiao waved her hands quickly: "No, no, Bingkun, we've already drunk."

Zhou Chen nodded, and then asked: "Auntie, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

He already had a guess in his mind that Xiao Guoqing should not know about this, otherwise, the person who came was definitely not Xiao Guoqing's mother.

Xiao's mother asked cautiously, "Bingkun, I heard from Guoqing and Qian'er that you work in a publishing house, right?"

"Correct."

Mother Xiao showed a flattering smile on her face, and then said: "Bingkun, Auntie, just tell me, this is Guoqing's second sister and second brother-in-law. His second brother-in-law graduated from junior high school and is well-educated. You are a cadre in the publishing house. Can you please find him a job in the publishing house?"

"Ok?"

Zhou Chen immediately showed an expression of astonishment, and was surprised that Xiao's mother actually made this request, but he quickly reacted and regained his calm expression.

"Auntie, I'm so sorry. If you had come here a few months ago, I might have been able to help you. But now, I'm no longer the deputy editor-in-chief. I'm just an ordinary editor. I don't have the power to do this anymore. I might even lose my job at any time. So I'm really sorry. I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

When Xiao's mother and the others heard this, they were all shocked. Wu Qian asked impatiently, "Bingkun, what's going on? Aren't you the deputy editor-in-chief and doing well? How could this happen?"

Zhou Chen sighed helplessly: "Who can say for sure about work matters, Auntie, I really can't help you with this matter."

Xiao's mother and her daughter and son-in-law looked at each other, unable to hide their disappointment. They did not think that Zhou Chen would lie to them because there was no need to do so. This was something they would know if they just asked around a little.

Xiao Guoqing's second sister asked hesitantly: "Bingkun, you have worked in the publishing house for so many years, you must know a lot of people, can you please help introduce the leaders of the publishing house, our family Wencai is really educated and can write articles."

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment. He had already said it very clearly, so why couldn't Xiao Guoqing's second sister understand?

Although he and Xiao Guoqing were childhood friends, he really had no impression of his sister. As for Xiao Guoqing's brother-in-law, he knew nothing about him.

Everyone can write an article, but being able to write doesn't mean one can write well. It's not that he looks down on this person, but how good an article can a junior high school graduate write?

He just didn't want to say it too bluntly, as it would embarrass everyone, but it seems that Xiao Guoqing's second sister is similar to Wu Qian in that she has no good eyesight.

"Second sister, it's because I don't have a good relationship with my boss that I've become a small editor now. If I go to my boss, maybe there was still hope, but now there is really no hope at all."

Xiao Guoqing's second sister looked unhappy, and her husband just sat there without saying a word, which made Zhou Chen sneer in his heart.

This guy, when I saw him just now, his face was all smiles;

Now that he knows he is not a cadre and can't help, his expression immediately becomes cold. This is so fucking realistic.

If it wasn't for Xiao Guoqing's sake, he would have chased them away.

Wu Qian, who usually doesn't have much eyesight, was quite sharp at this moment. She suddenly stood up.

"Mom, second sister, it's getting late. Guoqing and Dad are waiting for us to go back and prepare dinner. Let's go back first."

She actually didn't want to come this time, because even if this matter was successful, she wouldn't get any benefits.

Moreover, she knew very well the character of Xiao Guoqing's second sister and brother-in-law. Before she came, she knew that this would not succeed.

Xiao's mother was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Guoqing's sister and brother-in-law were very straightforward. They stood up, said something and left.

After they all left, even Zheng Juan, who had a particularly good temper, couldn't help but say angrily, "What kind of people are they, Bingkun? Don't be angry."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I'm not angry, I just think it's funny."

It is indeed quite funny to encounter such things, but there are all kinds of people in this world, so there is no need to make a fuss.

He soon forgot about this matter, but the next day, Xiao Guoqing found him in person and apologized to him very ashamedly. No matter what Zhou Chen said, he still apologized, and in the end made Zhou Chen feel embarrassed.

A month later, Zhou Chen was drinking with Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao again. As they drank, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao got a little drunk and started to vent.

"Kun'er, you don't know what those people in Guangzi Pian are saying about you. If we heard it, we would be so angry that our teeth would ache. What kind of people are they?"

Sun Ganchao took a sip of wine and slammed the table with his face flushed.

Although Zhou Chen's family moved out of Guangzi area, there were still a lot of topics about them, especially not long ago, when they learned that Zhou Chen's cadre position had been demoted, and he suddenly became the topic of gossip among the aunts and uncles in Guangzi area.

When Zhou Chen was doing well before, there were naturally all kinds of good words and compliments, but now that Zhou Chen has become worse, all kinds of unbearable words have come out.

As Zhou Chen's childhood friends, Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing, who had been helped by Zhou Chen, were naturally very angry. At the beginning, they helped Zhou Chen to retort those people, but they soon found that it was useless as they were still gossiping.

Zhou Chen smiled casually: "Why bother with those rumors? I don't rely on them to make a living."

Xiao Guoqing was full of guilt: "Kun'er, this is still my fault. If it weren't for my sisters, your story wouldn't have spread so quickly."

Zhou Chen patted his shoulder and advised: "It's a thing of the past. Why are you still talking about it? This matter has nothing to do with you."

"I just feel unhappy and feel aggrieved for you." Xiao Guoqing said indignantly.

Sun Ganchao said to Zhou Chen, "Kun'er, you know, the reason why this matter spread so quickly has a lot to do with Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao. Qiao Chunyan's mother said a lot, and it was all their fabrication of you."

Xiao Guoqing also said: "Now we in Guangzi Film are comparing you with Qiao Chunyan. You used to be the deputy editor-in-chief and a cadre, while Qiao Chunyan was just a pedicurist. But now you have stepped down, while Qiao Chunyan got lucky and became the deputy director of the Women's Department. Now she is a celebrity in Guangzi Film."

Zhou Chen asked: "Qiao Chunyan got promoted?"

He had seen this happen on TV, so he wasn't surprised.

"Yes, their family is very arrogant now, and Cao Debao is even more arrogant. If you don't know him, you would think he has become an official of some kind."

Sun Ganchao's tone was strange, he felt unhappy, envious, and a little regretful.

Zhou Chen could understand his thoughts. It was simply that he failed to marry Qiao Chunyan, and in the end, that guy Cao Debao got the upper hand.

Who could have thought that a pedicure worker in a bathhouse could rise to the top and become the director of the women's department? It's really a bit fantastic.

Zhou Chen consoled her, "There's no need to envy others, and don't just look at her current glory. Believe me, you will have the opportunity to be better than her in the future."

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao both smiled. Although they did not have much confidence, they were also very excited.

"Then we will borrow your good words."

Zhou Chen smiled. To be fair, these two people were nice to him. As long as they didn't change their minds in the future, he would definitely take care of them.

With his ability, as long as he takes good care of Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao, he will definitely make them live better than Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao.

In the autumn of 76, Zheng Juan gave birth to Zhou Chen's second child. What disappointed Zhou Chen was that the second child was also a boy, which did not make a complete couple.

Zhou Chen did not argue with Li Suhua about the second child, and named him Zhou Cong, the name Zhou Zhigang left behind before he left.

When Zhou Zhigang left, he specifically picked two names for his unborn grandchildren, one boy and one girl.

Zheng Juan gave birth to a boy, so the name she chose was naturally Zhou Cong.

Zheng Juan, who has her second child, is obviously busier. There are three children in the family. Fortunately, she has the help of Li Suhua and Zheng Guangming, otherwise she would be overwhelmed if she were alone.

Time entered the year 77. During this year, Zhou Chen lived a very stable life. Except for the addition of one more person in the family, everything was going in an orderly manner.

A few months ago, Zhou Rong sent a letter saying that Feng Huacheng had been released.

The reason why Feng Huacheng was released was also related to national policy.

It is also in this new year that the country has quietly changed, and the changes are very big.

During this period, Hao Dongmei returned to Jichun and came to Zhou's house to visit Li Suhua and brought gifts for the newborn Zhou Cong.

The reason why Hao Dongmei got the chance to come back was because her parents were rehabilitated and resumed their jobs. Now her father is a senior official in the province, basically the top leader, and her mother was also reinstated.

With this pair of parents who are provincial high-ranking officials, Hao Dongmei's life naturally became much better. If she had not had to accompany Zhou Bingyi, she would probably have been transferred back to Jichun long ago.

When he saw Hao Dongmei again, Zhou Chen clearly felt her changes. She was more confident and her temperament had improved. These were external changes brought about by a change in her state of mind.

Soon it was the summer of that year. At this time, there were rumors in the country that the country intended to resume the college entrance examination, and the earliest possible time might be in the next one or two years. This brought a huge shock to the entire country's education sector.

Many schools have resumed teaching, but more schools are still waiting and watching.

Zhou Chen's second son, Zhou Cong, had also been weaned at this time. Zheng Juan was feeding him, while Zhou Rui and Feng Yue were playing nearby.

After Zheng Juan finished feeding Zhou Cong and handed him to Guangming, Zhou Chen asked Zheng Juan, "Juan'er, do you want to go to college?"

"University?"

When Zheng Juan heard Zhou Chen's words, she was stunned. This word was too far away for her and she had never thought about it.

"Why should I go to college? I'm already a mother of two children."

Zhou Chen smiled and rubbed her forehead, saying, "No one says that you can't go to college if you have a child. Just tell me, if you have the opportunity to go to college, would you be willing to go?"

"I do not know."

Zheng Juan shook her head. She really didn’t know because she had no idea about it.

"Bingkun, isn't it impossible to take the college entrance exam now? Why are you asking me this?"

Zhou Chen said: "Because the country will soon announce the resumption of the college entrance examination, many people will be allowed to take the college entrance examination at that time. Although your conditions are not enough, if you think of a way, it should be possible to make it work."

The college entrance examination was resumed in 77. Farmers, workers, etc. could all take it. Even those in their thirties could take it.

Zheng Juan only graduated from elementary school, so logically she does not meet the requirements, but things are in the hands of people. As long as she wants to take the exam, Zhou Chen can still think of a way.

Zheng Juan shook her head and said, "Even if the college entrance examination is resumed, it has nothing to do with me. I don't have the ability to pass it."

Zhou Chen said: "I can help you and teach you. There are still a few months left, so you should be able to catch up."

"But I really can't do it. I haven't been to school for many years..."

Zheng Juan had no confidence at all, but Zhou Chen didn't give her any room to refuse. He said directly: "How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it? Let's do this, starting tomorrow, you should learn from me for a few days, and I will see how good your foundation is."

Zheng Juan didn't want to learn, but she couldn't persuade Zhou Chen, so she had to agree with a bitter face.

When Zhou Chen said this he was ambitious and confident, but three days later.

Zhou Chen stood in the yard outside the door, his chest heaving, his breathing becoming heavy, and his face expressionless. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood at the moment.

Zheng Juan walked out of the house carefully, took small steps, walked quietly behind Zhou Chen, lowered her head, and reached out to gently pull the corner of Zhou Chen's clothes.

"Bingkun, I'm sorry."

Zhou Chen remained expressionless and silent.

Zheng Juan spoke again with grievance: "I am too stupid, I'm sorry, please don't be angry."

Zhou Chen hummed, "I'm not angry with you. I'm angry with myself. I'm useless and can't teach you. I'm stupid and foolish."

Thinking of the past three days of teaching Zheng Juan, Zhou Chen felt a strong sense of frustration. He had tutored his own children before, and even he had gotten angry a lot.

Teaching Zheng Juan feels like teaching a child, or even more difficult.

Because children's learning thinking and ideas are not yet fixed, and Zheng Juan is already 26 years old and has already developed her own fixed thinking and thinking ability.

Therefore, during the learning process, Zheng Juan often had difficulty adapting, no matter how Zhou Chen taught her. She might have learned something in the morning but forgotten it by noon. More often than not, she simply could not learn it at all.

After teaching for three days, Zhou Chen felt several times more tired than after doing three days of hard labor. His blood pressure was soaring during these three days and he roared a lot.

As a result, Zhou Rui and Feng Yue hid in Guangming and Li Suhua's room for the past three days and did not dare to get close to Zhou Chen at all.

Li Suhua even scolded Zhou Chen for three consecutive days, asking him not to go crazy.
