The world of film and television begins from childhood

Chen Jianghe was so happy that he was a little incoherent: "I just heard Brother Qiu talking about you. I can't believe it's such a coincidence. It's really great. Second brother, is my uncle in good health? Is he eating well and sleeping well? My aunt and Qiaogu, are they all okay?"

"Everything is fine. My uncle and aunt are all very good, and Qiaogu is also very good. But they miss you very much and often mention you. You said you feel the same way, so why don't you go back to see them?"

Chen Jianghe's face was filled with guilt: "I made the mistake at the beginning. I didn't dare to go back, for fear of getting my uncle and the others into trouble."

Zhou Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Your incident is over. No one will arrest you. Listen to me and go back to visit your uncle and the others when you have time. They miss you very much."

Chen Jianghe nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand. I miss them too."

Qiu Yingjie was also very happy when he saw this scene: "Brother Zhou, Jiang He, you two are really destined to meet each other. Just taking a train, you actually met again. This is a good thing."

"It's really a good thing, and thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have seen any chicken feathers." Zhou Chen was also very happy.

Although he was not particularly familiar with Chen Jianghe, he had met him several times and knew that Chen Jianghe had a very good relationship with his uncle Chen Jinshui's family. He was naturally happy to meet Chen Jianghe.

Qiu Yingjie said, "It was just a coincidence. Brother Jiang He was selling candy just now. I was quite interested, so I bought a piece from him. Then we started chatting. I found out that he was from Chenjia Village, so I mentioned you. I didn't expect that you two were actually relatives. It's really a coincidence."

Chen Jianghe was very happy and took out everything in his arms.

"Brother, this is the sugar I made myself, and there are eggs, you can try it."

Seeing Chen Jianghe's hopeful eyes, Zhou Chen didn't hesitate to pick up a piece of candy and started tasting it.

"Yeah, it's good, not worse than the candy my uncle makes."

Chen Jianghe said shyly: "Compared with my uncle, I am still far behind."

"Don't underestimate yourself. I'm telling the truth. The candy you made is really good."

"Second brother, have another egg."

"it is good."

While peeling eggs, Zhou Chen asked, "Ji Mao, no, you are not a child anymore, I can't call you Ji Mao anymore, Jiang He."

"It's okay, second brother, you should just call me Jimao. It sounds more friendly. To be honest, I haven't heard anyone call me Jimao for a long time. I was so happy to hear you call me that today."

After many years, Chen Jianghe finally met his relatives again and was particularly happy and excited.

"Okay, then I'll continue to call you Jimao. Jimao, have you been hanging around Yiwu in the past few years?"

"Well, I didn't dare to go back, but I didn't want to go far, so I wandered around several cities and counties near Yiwu, doing some business trading chicken feathers for sugar, and selling sugar and eggs for a living."

Zhou Chen looked at Chen Jianghe's weather-beaten face and sighed in his heart. In fact, Chen Jianghe was two years younger than him, but looked older than him.

Chen Jianghe fled Chenjia Village when he was eleven or twelve years old. It must have been very difficult for him to survive all these years. I don’t know how much suffering he has endured.

Chapter 776 Taking Chen Jianghe to the Capital

Zhou Chen has watched a lot of TV movies. To be honest, the male protagonists in most TV shows have more or less some problems with their personalities and values, especially in modern urban dramas.

But the hero Chen Jianghe in the TV series Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky is definitely an excellent hero with positive values.

At least in this TV series, the only person who can be compared to him is probably Qiu Yingjie.

Qiu Yingjie is outstanding, not only because he has a positive outlook on life, but also because he has been educated since childhood, attended university, and is an idealistic and ambitious person.

But Chen Jianghe was different. He was an abandoned child and was adopted since childhood. He didn’t go to school much. His future achievements were partly due to the help of noble people, but more importantly, it was due to his own abilities.

Zhou Chen describes himself as a relatively selfish person.

But even though he is selfish, it does not prevent him from appreciating talents like Chen Jianghe.

"Jiang He, your brother knows more about the economics I just talked to you about than I do. He has helped me solve many of my doubts. If you want to understand or know anything, you can ask your brother now."

Qiu Yingjie just talked a lot with Chen Jianghe outside, especially when he talked about economics, Chen Jianghe was particularly serious and kept asking him questions.

In front of Zhou Chen, he felt like a student, so he was very happy that he could teach Chen Jianghe and that Chen Jianghe was willing to listen to him.

Zhou Chen said modestly: "Yingjie, don't flatter me. I have only read a few more books than you. You are more sincere than me in this regard. It is only a matter of time before you surpass me."

Qiu Yingjie smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, I think you are too modest. You are so amazing, I will never be able to surpass you in my lifetime. I will often ask you for advice in the future."

"You."

Qiu Yingjie may not be as smart as Chen Jianghe, but his mouth is definitely no worse than Chen Jianghe in the TV series. Zhou Chen has experienced this many times. He is very good at praising people.

Chen Jianghe smiled a little stiffly: "Second brother, I am really interested in the economics that Brother Qiu just told me about. Can you tell me about it?"

Of course Zhou Chen would not refuse: "Okay, tell me what you want to hear and what you want to know, so I can analyze it for you."

Chen Jianghe scratched his head. There were so many things he wanted to learn, but he really didn't know how to describe them at the moment.

Zhou Chen saw his dilemma, so he smiled and said, "Well, let me start with the basics. Take the chicken feathers for sugar in our hometown as an example. Don't underestimate this chicken feathers for sugar. It is actually a form of economic development that can effectively promote the regional economy and development..."

He spoke seriously, and Chen Jianghe and Qiu Yingjie also listened carefully.

From exchanging chicken feathers for sugar, to bartering, current economic development, future economic development models and so on, Zhou Chen did not hide anything and even briefly mentioned some advanced models to them.

Chen Jianghe had a low level of education and didn’t quite understand what he heard, but he was very serious and wrote down everything Zhou Chen said, preparing to slowly ponder it later.

After all, Qiu Yingjie had attended college for a year, so he had a solid foundation and could understand a lot. However, as Zhou Chen talked more and more, his brows furrowed, and he could not understand a lot of it.

One person was talking, and two people were listening and remembering. Time passed quickly until the train arrived at a station halfway and stopped. Chen Jianghe suddenly woke up.

"Hey, where are we?"

Zhou Chen glanced at his watch and said, "More than two hours have passed. We should have passed Dezhou Station long ago."

Chen Jianghe panicked immediately: "Why did you run so far? What should I do? I need to change cars to go back later."

Zhou Chen held his shoulders and advised: "Don't worry, Ji Mao, I think you should go to the capital with us first, visit your brother and me, and see how prosperous the capital is."

"Ah? Going to the capital is not a good idea. I'm an illegal resident now, and the capital will definitely check very strictly. I'd better not cause trouble for you."

Chen Jianghe’s household registration is under Chen Jinshui’s household registration, but because he got into trouble and ran away, he thought he had become an illegal resident. In fact, this was not the case. It was Chen Jinshui who took the blame, so he did not become an illegal resident.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's okay. After all, I, your brother, have been in the chaos of the capital for more than a year. This little thing is nothing. Just follow me later. If anyone investigates, Yingjie and I, as college students, will be enough to help you solve the problem."

Even in the capital, college students are very respected, not to mention that Zhou Chen is a student from Peking University. A Peking University student ID card may not be able to accomplish anything big, but it can be used to handle small matters and solve minor problems.

"Can it be done?"

Chen Jianghe was worried. He actually wanted to go to the capital to broaden his horizons, but he knew his own situation and didn't want to cause trouble for Zhou Chen.

"Of course, I'll buy you a ticket later, so you won't have to worry about people checking you when you get off the bus. Just stay here and relax."

Chen Jianghe is a very nice person with great potential. Now that Zhou Chen has met him, he would like to train him.

Qiu Yingjie smiled and said, "Jiang He, just listen to Brother Zhou. He is much more capable than us."

Ever since he met Zhou Chen on the train during his last trip back home, Qiu Yingjie was quickly won over by Zhou Chen and now treats Zhou Chen as his half-brother.

"That's good, but you don't have to pay for the fare. I take the train frequently and I'm pretty good at evading fares."

Zhou Chen found it funny to see Chen Jianghe talking about evading the ticket with a slightly smug look on his face. What a guy, he was so proud of evading the ticket.

"Forget about evading the fare. We don't need that little money. Don't worry about it. I'll help you buy the fare later."

"No, second brother, how can I let you spend money? I'd better buy it myself."

The ticket to the capital is not cheap, but Chen Jianghe is still a man of integrity and is unwilling to let Zhou Chen pay for it.

Zhou Chen scolded with a dissatisfied look on his face: "I am your brother. I bought you a ticket, but you pushed me back and forth."

Chen Jianghe was scolded by Zhou Chen and laughed. In the end, he had no choice but to obey Zhou Chen and let Zhou Chen buy the ticket for him.

More than ten hours passed quickly. The three of them were in the same box, slept together, ate together, and had endless topics to talk about.

After the train arrived at the Capital Station, Zhou Chen and the other two got off with their luggage. This was because Chen Jianghe had only brought a few things on the train and had sold most of them while on the train, so he got off empty-handed. He very diligently grabbed Zhou Chen's suitcase.

After getting off the car, Chen Jianghe was obviously very nervous. Zhou Chen smiled and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, Ji Mao. The more nervous you are, the more likely people will suspect you. On the contrary, if you act calm and open, you won't arouse suspicion."

"I know, second brother."

Having said that, after Chen Jianghe took a breath, he was still a little nervous, but much better than before.

They walked out of the train station very smoothly, and then Zhou Chen hailed a tricycle with very characteristic features of the time, the kind that could carry people in the back, somewhat similar to the electric tricycles of later generations, and if they squeezed together, it could easily seat five or six people.

When Chen Jianghe and Qiu Yingjie heard the price, they didn't want to sit.

"Brother Zhou, let's take the bus. It's just a matter of walking a few more steps."

"Yes, brother, let's take the bus. This is too expensive."

But Zhou Chen bargained for the price, paid the money, and got in the car without saying a word. The two of them had no choice but to follow him in.

There are buses these days, but in reality the riding experience of the buses is not much different from that of this tricycle.

He would rather take a tricycle because it can take them directly to their doorstep, while if they take the bus, they have to walk some distance.

"Second brother, Brother Qiu, taking a bus is so expensive in this capital. The money for the bus is enough for us to go around the county town."

It was the first time that Chen Jianghe spent money in the capital, and although it was not his own money, he was still a little scared. This trip was equivalent to the money he earned in several days.

Qiu Yingjie said: "The cost of living in the capital is not low, but you can't use your second brother as a standard. He spends money lavishly."

Because they had become more familiar with each other, he also started to tease Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "It's just that your values ​​are different. You two just haven't changed yet. If you stay here for a long time and make money, you will slowly change."

He dares to spend money like this, so he must have sufficient financial resources and is not afraid of not being able to earn back the money he spends.

But the situation is different for Chen Jianghe and Qiu Yingjie at this stage. They are both poor and have to be very careful with every penny they earn. How could they spend money as casually as Zhou Chen?

The speed of the tricycle is not very fast, but fortunately there are not many vehicles in the capital nowadays, so there is no need to worry about traffic jams.

Soon, they arrived at their destination and stopped at the gate of a two-story western-style building.

"Second brother, is this the house you rented? What a beautiful house." Chen Jianghe took a look and said in surprise.

Western-style buildings like this are extremely rare in Yiwu, at least he has not seen many.

Qiu Yingjie asked: "The rent for a house like this must be expensive, right?"

Zhou Chen smiled and explained, "It's not as exaggerated as you think. I just rented the second floor. This small western-style building belongs to a couple of retired leaders. Their children are not around, so they rented the second floor to me. The two old people are very kind and didn't charge me much money."

As he said that, he knocked on the door.

"Uncle Zhu, it's me, Xiao Zhou. Open the door."

Because they lived in the same yard, Zhou Chen left all the keys with the old couple when he left.

Not long after, the door was opened, and an old man holding a palm-leaf fan appeared in front of the three people.

"Haha, I told my wife this morning that the summer vacation is about to end and you should be here soon."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu, it seems that you always miss me. Where is Auntie? Are you cooking?"

"No, I went out for a stroll."

"Then why didn't you go?"

"My legs have been feeling a bit uncomfortable these past two days, and I'm too lazy to move. Can you help me take a look when you have time?"

"No problem. I'll help you check it out after I put my things down. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Since Uncle Zhu could still walk and move, the problem was not serious, so he was not too anxious and instead introduced Chen Jianghe and Qiu Yingjie to Uncle Zhu.

"Uncle Zhu, these two came with me from my hometown. They are both my younger brothers. This one is Qiu Yingjie, who is also studying at a university in the capital. This is Chen Jianghe. I brought him to the capital to broaden his horizons."

Qiu Yingjie and Chen Jianghe both called out respectfully, "Hello, sir."

When Grandpa Zhu heard that it was Zhou Chen's younger brother, he was no longer on guard. Zhou Chen had rented their house for more than a year, and he still trusted Zhou Chen's character very much.

This year, Zhou Chen has helped them a lot. Whenever the old couple feel a little unwell, Zhou Chen helps them with medical treatment and care, and they recover quickly. If there is a problem at home, such as the TV is broken or there is a problem with the circuit, they don't have to look for others, Zhou Chen can help them solve it.

So the old couple were very satisfied with Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen hadn't insisted on giving them money, they wouldn't have wanted to take a penny from him.

Although Zhou Chen has nothing to do with them, when Zhou Chen is around, they feel that their home is much more lively than in previous years.

"Come in, young man."

Zhou Chen led the two people into the yard, said something to Uncle Zhu, and then took them upstairs.

There are three rooms upstairs and a small living room, which are spotlessly clean.

Zhou Chen knew that it must have been the aunt downstairs who cleaned the house. Although the old couple had a nanny, the nanny only cooked and washed clothes. Since the upstairs was rented to him, the nanny had never come to clean the house. Usually Zhou Chen cleaned the house himself, and occasionally Aunt Zhu would come up to help him clean.

In fact, it was a coincidence that Zhou Chen was able to rent this place. Grandpa Zhu and his wife had not originally planned to rent a house, but when he came to look for a house that day, he met Grandpa Zhu. He asked Grandpa Zhu about the situation and the two chatted for a long time.

Then Uncle Zhu insisted on dragging him to rent his house. After seeing it, Zhou Chen was of course satisfied, so he rented it.

Only after he became familiar with Mr. and Mrs. Zhu did he know their situation.
