The world of film and television begins from childhood

"I am Han Chunming's mother. May I ask who you are?"

"It's you, Auntie. My name is Zhou Chen, and I'm Chunming's classmate."

Mother Han's eyes suddenly lit up: "You are Zhou Chen. I heard our Xiaowu talk about you before. Did you lend your bicycle to him?"

"Yes, it's me, Auntie. Is Chunming at home? I want to talk to him about something." Zhou Chen asked.

Mother Han said, "I'm so sorry, Chunming hasn't come home yet. I don't know what happened to him today. He usually doesn't come home so late."

"He hasn't come back yet?"

Zhou Chen was a little surprised. In today's factories, people get off work relatively early unless they are on night shift.

"Do you have something to say to our Xiaowu? You can tell me first. When Xiaowu comes back, I will tell him, or let him come to you."

Zhou Chen said, "That's fine, Auntie. It's not a big deal. It's just that a few of our good classmates have made an appointment to have dinner at Donglaishun tomorrow night. They asked me to inform Chunming and ask him to go on time tomorrow night."

"Tomorrow night, right? Okay, I'll tell Xiaowu when he comes back."

"Then I'll trouble you, Auntie. I'll leave first."

"Okay, then take your time."

Zhou Chen responded with a smile, turned around and prepared to leave.

Just at this moment, a woman came in pushing a bicycle. When she saw Zhou Chen who had just turned around, she exclaimed.

"Hey, it's you."

Zhou Chen was also very surprised when he saw the woman: "It's you, what a coincidence?"

It was indeed a coincidence that this woman was the one he had met before, the one who had fallen off her bicycle and was injured.

The sudden encounter made the woman seem particularly happy. She said happily: "Thank you so much for what happened last time. By the way, I haven't returned your handkerchief to you yet."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's okay. If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. Do you live here?"

"Yes, we live here. By the way, why are you here?"

She didn't think Zhou Chen was looking for her, otherwise he wouldn't have been so surprised when he saw her just now.

Just as she was wondering about Zhou Chen's purpose, Han's mother suddenly came over and asked her in confusion: "Chunyan, do you know Xiaowu's classmate?"

"Xiaowu's classmate?"

Han Chunyan was a little confused by her mother's words. She looked at her mother involuntarily: "Mom, you said he was Xiaowu's classmate."

"Yes, he is here to look for Xiaowu, Chunyan, how do you know him?"

Han's mother also looked puzzled. After listening to the conversation between her daughter and Zhou Chen, it was obvious that something had happened between the two.

"Mom, I'll tell you about this later."

Han Chunyan didn't want to explain this for the time being. Instead, she asked Zhou Chen curiously, "Are you my brother Han Chunming's classmate?"

Zhou Chen has now figured out the relationships between the characters. There are so many coincidences in life. The person he helped casually turned out to be Han Chunming's sister, and they met her by chance today.

"My name is Zhou Chen. I am indeed a classmate of Chunming's. We were together when we were queue jumping, and we have a very good relationship."

Mother Han looked at Zhou Chen, then at her daughter, and suddenly an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes.

"Xiao Zhou, why don't you stay and wait for Xiao Wu? He should be back soon."

Zhou Chen said, "No need. I have already told you, Auntie, about the matter. Just tell Chunming the truth and he will agree. I have something else to do later, so I will leave first."

Without waiting for Han's mother and Han Chunyan to persuade him to stay, Zhou Chen hurriedly left the compound. Han Chunming was not at home, so he didn't feel comfortable staying.

As soon as Zhou Chen left, Han's mother pulled Han Chunyan, who was in a daze, and asked, "Chunyan, what happened between you and that little Zhou? Tell me quickly."

Han Chunyan blushed slightly and whispered, "Mom, do you remember the time when I came back injured?"

"Remember, you said you fell off your bike, and I was really scared that time."

"Yes, that time, Zhou Chen was the one who helped me."

"Oh, is that so? It seems that Xiao Zhou is really a good person."

There was a gleam in Han's mother's eyes. She had five children in total. The eldest son and the second daughter were already married, while the remaining second son, the younger daughter, and the youngest son had not yet started a family. Their marriage was now her biggest worry.

The second son cannot get married because he is not good at talking and is not reliable, but also because his family cannot afford enough dowry.

As a single mother, it was not easy for her to raise five children. When her eldest son got married, she gave a lot of dowry, but when it came to her second son, she could not give that much.

As for the second daughter not getting married, it was because she hadn't found a suitable one. Although the Han family's conditions were not very good, Han's mother still had some ambition and wanted to find a better family for her second daughter.

But it has been delayed like this, and now I am already in my twenties, and naturally I am getting more and more anxious.

The reason why she was interested was because she discovered that her daughter seemed to be a little different towards her fifth grade classmate Zhou Chen.

She made up her mind that when Xiaowu came back, she would ask him about Zhou Chen's situation.

Han Chunyan had the same idea as her. She was indeed impressed by Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen gave her a heart-beating feeling, so she also wanted to ask her brother about it.

Han Chunming returned home a little drunk. He didn't go anywhere else today but just went to see his master, Grandpa Guan.

Grandpa Guan has been busy repairing Zhou Chen's copper coin carving mother recently. He wants to learn the technology, so he has been running to the old man frequently recently.

As soon as he got home, he found his mother and second sister staring at him with dissatisfaction.

"Xiaowu, where have you been?"

Han Chunming was a little puzzled: "I didn't go anywhere, I just went to my master's place, Mom, second sister, what's wrong with you?"

Mother Han spoke first: "Xiaowu, a man named Zhou Chen came to see you just now. He said he was your classmate and asked you to go to Donglaishun for dinner tomorrow night. He said your friend is treating you."

"Zhou Chen came to see me? Oh, I see. It must be Yang Huajian and the others."

Han Chunming's brain was very sharp and he quickly guessed who was treating them to dinner.

"Okay, Mom, I got it. I'll go back to my room and go to bed."

"and many more."

Han Chunyan suddenly called out to him.

"What's the matter, second sister, do you have anything else to do?"

Han Chunyan was a little embarrassed, but still asked: "Xiaowu, your classmate, is he the classmate you often mentioned?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Han Chunming looked at his second sister in confusion.

Han Chunyan opened her mouth, not knowing what to ask. It was Han's mother who understood her daughter's thoughts and took the initiative to ask.

"Xiao Wu, you don't know that Chunyan met your classmate once. That time, she fell off her bike, and it was your classmate who helped her. Chunyan wanted to thank him, but she didn't know his situation, so she wanted to ask you about your classmate's situation."

When Han Chunming heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at his second sister in disbelief.

"No way, second sister, you don't have any thoughts about Zhou Chen, do you?"

Han Chunyan blushed immediately and angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just want to repay him because he helped me. Don't talk nonsense."

But her blushing cheeks really weren't convincing at all.

"Hey, second sister, why are you blushing? I didn't say anything. Are you feeling guilty?"

"Xiao Wu, believe it or not, I will spank you."

"Okay, you two stop messing around."

Han's mother stopped them from playing around, and then said to Han Chunming, "Xiaowu, you know your second sister's situation. She's so old, but she doesn't even have a boyfriend. It worries me to death. She finally found someone who is your classmate. You have to help her."

"mom."

Han Chunyan stomped her feet with a blushing face, but Han's mother ignored her. Han's mother had experienced everything in her life, so naturally she was no match for Han Chunyan, who had never even had a boyfriend.

"Don't say anything. If you want to know about other people's situation, listen to Xiaowu first."

This time Han Chunyan really shut up and looked at Han Chunming expectantly, just like Han's mother.

Seeing that his mother and second sister seemed to be serious, Han Chunming's expression also became serious.

"Mom, second sister, you don't really have any feelings for Zhou Chen, do you? Zhou Chen is my classmate. Although he is one year older than me, he is one year younger than you, second sister."

Han's mother scolded, "What's the big deal about being one year younger? As long as he's not ten or eight years younger, it's not a problem. It's just one year older, it's the same as no age at all. Xiaowu, quickly tell me about his specific situation, who's in his family, what he does, where he lives..."

Han Chunming was still a little confused. He couldn't even imagine what it would be like if Zhou Chen became his brother-in-law.

Sure, it's fun, right?

Han Chunming couldn't help but think maliciously.

"Zhou Chen lives not far from our home. It only takes about ten minutes to get there by bike, and it's only two streets away. His parents are long gone, and he only has one sister, but she's married. In addition, he has an uncle who is a high-ranking official, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau."

"He lives in a courtyard house now. Although it is a one-story house, it is much better than ours. I heard him say that the courtyard house is his alone. As for his job, he works in the library now. As for what he does, I didn't ask in detail."

"But I can be sure of one thing, he is very good. If my second sister wants to date him, I think it will be difficult."

After listening to Han Chunming's narration, Han's mother and Han Chunyan fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Han's mother said first: "If it is really like what Xiaowu said, then his conditions are really good."

If it was decades later and there were no parents, it might be a deduction.

But for people of this generation, not having parents but having good conditions is not really a bad thing.

Because there are no parents-in-law, the daughter-in-law can manage the household and take charge of the family as soon as she arrives at the house, which is something many women desire.

"Chunyan, what do you think?"

Han Chunyan stammered, "I don't mind that he is younger than me, but I feel that my conditions are simply incomparable to his, and he may not even think highly of me."

Han's mother did not respond. She also had the same concerns. She knew best what their family conditions were.

Her daughter's conditions are not bad, and if it weren't for her poor family situation, she wouldn't have been delayed until now.

Nowadays, when looking for a partner, it is not just the woman who looks at the man's family. The man also looks at the woman's family. If the family conditions are not good, it will be a minus point.

Han's mother asked Han Chunming again: "Xiaowu, you are classmates with him and you are so familiar with him. Can you give me a definite answer, can he like your second sister?"

"Ah? What should I say?"

Han Chunming felt bitter in his mouth. How could he say it? After all, she was his second sister and the best in his eyes.

But Zhou Chen is also his good friend, and his conditions are there, so it is not easy for their family to marry into a better family.

"Whatever you say, just tell me what you think."

Mother Han asked impatiently. She had worried too much about the marriage of her children. Now all she wanted was to quickly settle the life-long events for the remaining three children. She didn't have much else to worry about.

Facing his second sister's expectant gaze, Han Chunming scratched his head, feeling that this matter was really too difficult to handle.

"I can only say that Zhou Chen is a really nice guy, very generous, with a good temper and good conditions. If you can really be with him, I will definitely agree with you. However, this matter still needs his consent."

Mother Han said without hesitation: "It just so happens that you are going to have dinner with him tomorrow. Find a chance to ask for his opinion. Don't ask him to agree immediately. You can ask him to try to get along with your second sister first. If it doesn't work, then forget it."

"Ah? Let me go and tell Zhou Chen, I can't bring myself to say this, no, I can't bring myself to say this."

Han Chunming was so scared that he ran away and didn't dare to agree at all. He cared about his second sister and wanted her to have a good partner.

But since it concerns his good friend Zhou Chen, he really can't say anything. What if things don't work out, how will they get along in the future?

Thinking of this, he immediately went back to his room and closed the door. No matter how his mother shouted outside, he refused to open the door.

Chapter 645: Party, Han Chunming's Test

The next morning, when Han Chunming just got up, he saw his second sister Han Chunyan standing in front of his door, which scared him.

"Second sister, are you here so early in the morning just to take revenge on me?"

Han Chunyan glared at her and said, "I'm not going to take revenge on you. I came to you because you are going to have dinner with your classmates tonight. I want you to help me return this handkerchief to Zhou Chen. He left it when he helped me before."

Han Chunming snatched it away with a smile: "Oh, this is a handkerchief, could it be a token of love?"

"Go away, there is no ivory coming out of a dog's mouth."

Han Chunyan cursed him angrily and then snatched the handkerchief back.

"Don't move. You haven't washed your hands yet. What if you get them dirty?"

Han Chunming curled his lips helplessly and said, "Well, this is still a long way to go, and now even my brother doesn't like you."

"Okay, give me the handkerchief quickly. I will go to Zhou Chen directly after get off work this afternoon and return the handkerchief to him then. Second sister, I think you are right too. It's just a handkerchief. Maybe Zhou Chen has already forgotten about it."

Han Chunyan snorted coldly: "If you can't speak, just say less. What do you know? Forget it, you don't have to return the handkerchief, so that you don't ruin things."
