Han Chunming, who rarely suffered losses, underestimated Cheng Jianjun and ended up suffering a great loss and losing face in public.

"Such an interesting thing, I can go and witness it when the time comes."

It's another day off. Zhou Chen went to his second uncle's house early in the morning. Today is Zhou Qingqing's birthday and the whole family will be there.

When Zhou Chen arrived, he found that his sister and brother-in-law had already arrived.

"Sister, brother-in-law."

This was certainly not the first time Zhou Chen had met Sun Dapeng. In the past two years or so, he had met Sun Dapeng many times and they had a good relationship.

Sun Dapeng is indeed a relatively honest husband. In addition to working hard, he goes home to accompany his wife and take care of the children.

But he was a bit of a coward, because he didn't have a high status in his parents' home, so he was not very welcome there even when he brought Zhou Yi and the children with him.

Especially since Zhou Yi gave birth to a girl and did not have more children, in that era, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls was very serious, so Zhou Yi, who had no son, naturally received more unfair treatment.

Zhou Chen saw all of this, but he couldn't help openly in this kind of situation. He could only warn Sun Dapeng and let him know that if he treated his sister badly, he would never let him off.

Fortunately, Sun Dapeng was a sensible man. Although he was not happy with Zhou Chen's warning tone, he was really good to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi took care of all the household affairs and handed over the salary on time.

Even though Zhou Yi sometimes gave Zhou Chen subsidies to buy this and that, he never said anything.

"Xiaoya."

When Zhou Chen saw Sun Xiaoya being held by Zhou Yi, she stretched out her arms to him with a smile on her face.

"uncle."

Sun Xiaoya was also very happy to see Zhou Chen. Although she was still young, she had a deep impression of her uncle.

Because her uncle always bought her delicious food, made fun things for her, let her ride a horse, and took her out to play.

In her young heart, such an uncle is the best person in the world.

Zhou Chen picked up Sun Xiaoya. Although Xiaoya was three years old, she weighed less than 30 kilograms and looked a little thin.

"Xiaoya, you haven't been eating well recently. You've become thinner."

Zhou Chen is a top-notch doctor and he could tell at a glance that Xiaoya was thin.

Zhou Yi said: "Yes, I don't know what's wrong with Xiaoya recently, she just refuses to eat."

Zhou Chen said: "It's okay, I'll write a prescription later, you go get some medicine and boil it for her to drink, she should be well soon."

Sun Dapeng looked at Zhou Chen in astonishment: "Xiaochen, can you treat illnesses?"

Zhou Yi rolled her eyes at him and said, "What can my brother not do? I was sick several times before, and I took the medicine he prescribed for me and recovered quickly."

Zhou Yi was completely confident and trusted his younger brother.

Over the past two years, Zhou Chen has given her too many surprises. At the beginning, she supported Zhou Chen, but she soon discovered that what Zhou Chen gave her in return was more than what she had given. Even if she didn't want it, Zhou Chen would force it on her.

So she was particularly touched and her love for Zhou Chen became even deeper.

Sun Dapeng admired and said: "Xiaochen, you are really amazing."

Zhou Chen smiled politely and said, "Brother-in-law, if you feel uncomfortable in the future, don't hesitate to ask me to help you."

Sun Dapeng asked in confusion: "But where did you learn medical skills? Why haven't I heard your sister talk about it before?"

"When I was sent to the countryside, I followed a guy from the village to study at Fanglang Middle School."

Zhou Chen responded casually. This kind of thing could not be verified anyway.

Zhou Qingqing came out from the room after dressing up. Today was her birthday. She wore a white princess dress, which made her look even more youthful and beautiful.

Zhou Qingqing is about to go to high school. She is already a grown-up girl, but her personality is still soft.

Zhou Qingqing was very happy to see Zhou Chen, and reached out to ask Zhou Chen for a gift, but Zhou Chen didn't hide it, and gave her the watch he had prepared.

Watches are also a big item in this era. When Zhou Qingqing saw this ladies' watch, she was very happy. She put it on her hand directly and kept playing with it.

During the meal, Second Aunt Mi Wen brought up the same old issue again.

"Xiaochen, you are 26 today. When are you going to find a partner and get married?"

Suddenly, everyone at the table looked at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen replied calmly: "Marriage is a major event in life. If you can't find someone you like, you will suffer in the future."

"That's what you said, but it's not a good idea for you to keep dragging it on like this."

"Don't worry, Second Aunt, I know what's going on. I promise to find you an obedient and filial niece-in-law and let her help you with your work every day."

"You kid, you're looking for a partner for yourself, why do you say it as if it's for me?"

"It's all the same, it's all the same."

Zhou Chen smiled and changed the subject. Mi Wen understood what he meant and did not pursue the issue any further.

After dinner, Zhou Liangping took Zhou Chen into the study.

"Xiaochen, I'm afraid that what you said before really has to be carried out."

When Zhou Liangping said this, he was still very shocked. He had heard that the higher-ups had begun discussing the resumption of the college entrance examination.

However, he was not shocked by this incident. What shocked him was that Zhou Chen had guessed this more than two years ago. He was shocked by his nephew's foresight.

"How are you studying lately?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, there will be no problem getting into university, and I have already chosen the school, Peking University."

"Oh, so confident?"

Zhou Liangping was shocked by Zhou Chen's words. Peking University is one of the best universities in the country. Those who can be admitted to Peking University are the elite among the elites. Although he has confidence in his nephew, he never thought that Zhou Chen could be admitted to Peking University.

Zhou Chen said: "I have been preparing for so long, of course I have confidence."

"It's a good thing to have confidence. If you can really get into Peking University, it will bring honor to our Zhou family."

Of course Zhou Liangping also hopes that Zhou Chen can be admitted. He has been a cadre for so many years and knows the importance of knowledge. If Zhou Chen can really be admitted to Peking University, he will definitely have a bright future.

Zhou Chen chatted with Zhou Liangping for a long time before leaving with his sister Zhou Yi and others.

The efficiency and appeal of the children of cadres like Yang Huajian were still very strong. Before long, they had contacted most of the educated youth who had been sent to work in Xiaoqinghe.

They invited everyone, familiar and unfamiliar. A rough estimate is that there were at least forty or fifty educated youth alone.

After get off work that day, Zhou Chen did not go home directly, but came to the entrance of an alley on a street.

As soon as Zhou Chen arrived at the destination, he saw Han Chunming sleeping on the wooden board of the tricycle, and he walked over and slapped him.

"Hey, who hit me?"

Han Chunming sat up in shock, looked around, and then saw Zhou Chen.

"It's you, why are you here?"

Zhou Chen asked: "I came here several times before, but I didn't see you. Where have you been during this time?"

"I'm going downstairs to collect junk. What do you want from me?"

"Did Yang Huajian come to you and tell you about the gathering of educated youth?"

"I told you that he came to see me the day before yesterday, but I didn't agree and I'm not going to go."

Han Chunming picked up his hat, fanned himself, and said with his legs crossed.

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Is it because of your current job of picking up scraps?"

Han Chunming argued, "How is that possible? I just don't want to go. It's not shameful for me to pick up rags. Why should I be embarrassed to see others?"

Zhou Chen said disdainfully: "You are just being stubborn. You yourself feel it is not decent, otherwise you would not go to your alley to collect junk even if you are beaten to death. I think you are just asking for trouble."

There is nothing shameful about collecting junk, but it will certainly attract criticism and people will label you as a loser.

You know, people's words are scary, and rumors can sometimes kill people.

Although Han Chunming said that he didn't care, he actually did care in his heart. He was afraid of bringing shame to his family and being looked down upon by Su Meng and her family, so he never went to collect scrap in the streets and alleys where they lived.

Even though everyone may have known it now, he still insisted on not going home.

"Is that what you came here to tell me?"

Han Chunming was very unhappy when Zhou Chen pointed out his thoughts.

Zhou Chen: "Whether you go to the educated youth gathering or not has nothing to do with me, and I didn't come to see you for this matter."

"If not for this, then what is it for?"

"For your second sister."

Han Chunming was stunned and asked, "What happened to my second sister?"

Speaking of Han Chunming's second sister Han Chunyan, Zhou Chen really had a headache.

"I have already made my attitude clear to your second sister. I told her that I don't want to find a partner for the time being and asked her to give up. But your second sister still comes to my house every now and then, giving me gifts. She has good intentions, but it depends on whether I am willing to accept it."

"Chun Ming, I didn't do anything extreme because of your consideration. Go back and persuade your second sister to stop waiting for me. There will be no result between her and me."

Han Chunming asked doubtfully, "I'm just wondering, why don't you find a woman? It's been more than two years since you and I returned to the city, and I haven't seen you get close to any woman. My second sister is not bad, right? She's so good to you and so persistent. Why aren't you tempted at all?"

"What kind of logic is this? Just because your second sister treats me well, I have to be with her? Don't waste your words on me. Go back and persuade your second sister. We are all adults. We can take it and let it go. There is really no need for her to waste time with me. In the end, she will be the only one who loses."

To say that he hated Han Chunyan was not true. This woman was quite smart. Every time she came to see him, as soon as she saw him showing impatience, she would immediately find an excuse to leave.

But it wouldn't be long before she would come back again, so even if he really had no feelings for Han Chunyan, he didn't do anything extreme because of her intelligence and her sense of propriety, and for Han Chunming's sake.

Han Chunming looked at Zhou Chen with suspicion: "Zhou Chen, we have known each other for so many years. Tell me honestly, do you have a physical problem and that is why you don't want to find a woman? If that is the reason, I will help you today..."

"You are so brave, kid."

Zhou Chen pressed one hand on Han Chunming's face, and no matter how Han Chunming struggled, he could not break free.

After a while, Han Chunming could not hold on any longer and kicked around using his hands and feet.

"Let go, please let go, I'm suffocating."

When Zhou Chen let go of his hand, Han Chunming breathed heavily and looked at Zhou Chen in fear.

"What's going on? Zhou Chen, why are you so strong all of a sudden?"

"While you were collecting junk, I didn't rest. This is all due to practice."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, remember what I said, and go back and tell your second sister clearly that I really don't have any feelings for her."

Although it was a girl chasing a boy, Zhou Chen really had no feelings for Han Chunyan, and he also didn't want to get involved in the Han family's disputes.

Being concerned about too many things is contrary to his pursuit of longevity.

Han Chunming hesitated and said, "I really can't help you with this matter. It's useless for me to talk to my second sister. To tell you the truth, my mother has tried to persuade her, but my second sister just won't listen. She is so stubborn that she has decided on you. She also said that if she can't be with you in this life, she won't get married and will just live alone."

"Zhou Chen, I also know that my second sister and you are not a good match, but feelings are something that cannot be controlled by humans. Anyway, I can't convince my second sister. If you have the ability, you can convince her yourself, or just be ruthless and let her give up the idea. If that doesn't work, you can even beat her up."

"I'll beat your uncle."

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand to hit Han Chunming. What a weird idea! Although he didn't have any feelings for Han Chunming, he wasn't cruel enough to beat him up.

This is really a good idea from my younger brother.

Knowing that Han Chunming's argument was not convincing, Zhou Chen stopped pestering him. It was just a woman pestering him. It didn't matter to him.

Just wait and see. He has no intention of finding a woman now. When he has this idea in the future and finds another woman, he won't have to refuse her then, and Han Chunyan will naturally give up.

As for moral blackmail, he believed that Han Chunyan was smart enough not to do such a thing.

"There is one more thing. The Xianfeng Baoquan Dangwubai brass mother coin that I gave to Grandpa Guan two years ago must have been repaired. I promised to let Grandpa keep it for three years. Now the time is almost up. Can you help me ask Grandpa when he plans to return it to its original owner?"

Although the system panel had never removed the Xianfeng Baoquan Dangwubai brass mother sculpture, he was still not at ease as the item was not in his hands.

Because more than two years had passed, he also bought some "old things" in the store, but he didn't know whether he was just unlucky or there were really not many good things in the store.

I bought dozens of pieces, but in the end only one met the system's standards and was identified by the system as an antique from the Ming Dynasty.

The rest of the items were appraised by Han Chunming, and 90% of them were handicrafts, with only a few being authentic.

But even if it is a genuine product, it does not meet the system's value standards and is of little value to Zhou Chen.

It was precisely because of this huge gap that Zhou Chen treasured the mother sculpture even more and couldn't wait to get it back as soon as possible to study it carefully.

After all, after he got the mother coin, he only kept it in his hands for a few hours before it was taken away by Grandpa Guan.

Not to mention Zhou Chen, even Han Chunming was coveting the mother coin.

"Okay, I got it. I'll take some time to go to my master and ask him what he thinks. You can rest assured that my master is definitely not the kind of person who goes back on his word."

"It's settled then. You have to keep it in mind."
