The world of film and television begins from childhood

After another day of cleaning up at home, Zhou Chen secretly cooked a pot of vermicelli and cabbage stewed with meat in the evening, and closed all the doors and windows while cooking.

After cooking, a bowl was sent to Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li's house. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li pushed it back and forth, and finally Zhou Chen put the bowl down.

Looking at the meat in the pot, Zhou Chen thought for a while, then filled another bowl, covered it with the bowl, and walked towards the third uncle's house in the east wing.

"Dong dong."

"Third uncle, third aunt, where are you at home?"

The third aunt opened the door and saw Zhou Chen, and immediately showed joy on her face: "Zhou Chen, are you here to ask us to get something?"

Seeing the three aunts’ excited faces and eager to try, Zhou Chen immediately fell silent. Wow, she’s still thinking about it.

"Third Auntie, you misunderstood. I went to the store today and bought some meat. I just cooked it and brought a bowl to your house."

"what?"

When the third aunt heard that it was someone who was delivering meat, she was very surprised. The third uncle, his two sons and daughter in the house all stood up, especially the three children, who stared at the bowl in Zhou Chen's hand.

The third uncle Yan Bugui hurriedly urged: "Third aunt, why don't you let Zhou Chen in quickly? Why are you blocking the door?"

"Oh, yes, Zhou Chen, come in, come in." The third aunt warmly invited Zhou Chen to come in.

Being stared at by Yan Bugui's family of five, even Zhou Chen felt uncomfortable with the look in their eyes and wondered if he had delivered the wrong item.

Putting down the bowl in his hand, Zhou Chen said to Yan Bugui, "Uncle, this meat is freshly stewed. I am not good enough to cook it. I don't know if it suits your taste. Also, I just came back to live here. I will trouble you to take care of me in the future."

Yan Bugui's eyes narrowed as he smiled: "That's for sure. Your father and I have been neighbors for more than ten years and we have a very good relationship. I watched you grow up, too. You don't need me to tell you that your third uncle will definitely take care of you."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Third." Zhou Chen thanked politely.

"It should, it should."

Yan Jiefang's eyes were fixed on the bowl on the table. He felt that he could smell the fragrance.

"Dad, can I eat meat now?"

Chapter 888 Qin Huairu is here, I want to change my position

Yan Jiefang's words made the room suddenly quiet. The third uncle Yan Bugui was so angry that he gave Yan Jiefang a big punch.

"Eat, eat, eat, just eat."

He is calculating, but that doesn't mean he is shameless. He calculates for a living, but this son is different. He started thinking about eating the meat before he even said thank you or left.

Isn't this simply embarrassing?

Zhou Chen also found it funny, but he controlled his thoughts well.

"Uncle, I'll go back first."

"Oh, okay, we'll bring the bowl to you later."

"No rush, no rush."

Zhou Chen waved goodbye and left Yan Bugui's house.

As soon as Zhou Chen left, Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiefang, and then, under the eager gazes of his children, opened the covered bowl that Zhou Chen had left.

Suddenly, the aroma of meat spread. His three children all grunted and stared at the cabbage and vermicelli stewed with meat in their bowls like hungry wolves.

There were a lot of cabbage vermicelli in the bowl, but there were also a lot of meat slices sticking out.

The third aunt exclaimed: "Oh my, so much meat! This child is really extravagant in spending money."

The few slices of meat exposed were something their family might not be able to eat once a month, so Third Aunt Yang Ruihua was so surprised.

Yan Bugui couldn't help but sigh, "In my family, I support the whole family with my salary alone, but Zhou Chen is different. When his father was alive, he only supported two people, not to mention that he served in the army for five years. He must have money after he retired. Plus the savings and compensation left by his father, he is not short of money."

"But this kid is a good person and knows how to do things. The first time he got meat, he knew to bring it to me. It seems that I, the third uncle, still have weight in his eyes."

At the end of his speech, he looked very smug. In his opinion, Zhou Chen took the initiative to send the meat to him just to give him face.

The third aunt echoed, "That's right, you're not the third uncle for nothing."

They were so proud of themselves, but the three children didn't care at all. They urged them anxiously, "Dad, Mom, the meat will get cold if we don't eat it now."

Yan Bugui shouted at them, "Eat, you only know how to eat. How could I raise you guys to be such foodies? How can we finish all this meat in one meal? Mother of children, pour the meat in the bowl into our pot and add more water. This meat is enough for us to have several meals."

The third aunt replied happily: "Okay, in addition to the meat, these soups and meat are just right for making noodles tomorrow."

Yan Jiefang and his two siblings immediately lamented, "Dad, Mom, why are you so stingy? We just eat what they give us."

"What do you know? Life is not like that. Stop talking nonsense and do as I say."

The third uncle completely ignored the dissatisfied looks of the three children. Doesn’t he want to eat meat and drink soup?

He wanted to, too, but he was thinking more about his family. He wasn't going to eat it all by himself, he just wanted to make the most of the meat.

Being greedy for a moment will only bring harm, steady and long-term living is the way to survive.

Not to mention that the Third Uncle's family was in disunity over an order of meat, Zhou Chen returned to his room and started eating.

It had been three days since he came here, and this was his first meal to his heart's content. Unfortunately, he didn't buy much meat, so he ate most of it in a short while.

There was meat, but Zhou Chen sighed that his cooking skills were really not that good and the seasonings he used were not good either. The taste was only due to the difficult conditions now. If it were put into the real world, he would not want to eat it because it was so tasteless.

Therefore, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to

He has traveled through so many worlds, lived for hundreds of years, and experienced many hard times, so he can also live a hard life.

But being able to live a hard life does not mean being willing to live a hard life. If given a choice, I am afraid no one would give up a good life to live a hard life.

In a few days it will be the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and it is not long before the Chinese New Year. The climate in the city is getting colder and colder.

Although there was no air conditioning or heating in the house, because the room was small and his physical fitness was strong, Zhou Chen did not feel cold in the house even though he was only wearing two pieces of clothes and the window was half open.

Speaking of this courtyard house, both its location and his two rooms are quite good. Although it is not as good as the home in the real world, in this era, it is still better than more than half of the people in the country, so Zhou Chen is relatively satisfied.

But there was one thing he was not satisfied with, and that was the location of the room he lived in, the west wing in the front yard, and right in the southwest corner of the courtyard was the public toilet of the courtyard.

Although it is more than ten meters away and blocked by a wall, it is winter now and there is no smell, but once summer comes, it is hard to say.

This was also the thing he was most dissatisfied with, so among the three courtyards, the best location was still the central courtyard. Unfortunately, the central courtyard was already occupied.

Zhou Chen was bored, so he took out some books he found while cleaning the room yesterday and began to read them with great interest.

The days are short in winter and it is completely dark at this time.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Zhou Chen, are you home?"

When Zhou Chen heard the voice, his eyebrows raised and his face showed surprise, because he recognized the voice as Qin Huairu's.

It was late at night, why was Qin Huairu knocking on his door?

With doubts in mind, Zhou Chen opened the door.

"Sister Qin, is there something wrong?"

Qin Huairu smiled sweetly: "I saw that you just came back and lived alone, so I was wondering if you needed any help."

Zhou Chen was speechless. He had been back for several days. He hadn't seen you come a few days ago, but you came today. He didn't believe that Qin Huairu didn't have any ulterior motives.

"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "I don't mind, but Sister Qin, aren't you afraid that your mother-in-law will see it?"

"My mother-in-law is at home taking care of the children."

Having said that, Zhou Chen could only lead her into the house.

As soon as Qin Huairu entered the room, she saw the dining table that Zhou Chen had not yet cleaned. In particular, her eyes lit up when she saw the large bowl of unfinished cabbage and vermicelli stewed with meat on the table.

"Hey, Zhou Chen, you're living a good life. You just came back and you're eating meat. Did you cook this yourself?"

"Ah, I live alone, what else can I do if I don't do it myself?"

Qin Huairu said with a sad face: "Zhou Chen, I understand your feelings. The pain of losing a loved one is incomprehensible to others. I was the same as you back then, but I am much better now. I believe you will be fine too."

"Sister Qin, I understand what you mean, thank you."

Seeing Qin Huairu sitting down, Zhou Chen's eyes twitched. This seemed to be a long talk.

"Zhou Chen, I see you just finished your meal and haven't cleaned up yet. I have nothing to do right now, so I'll help you wash up."

As she was about to clean the table, Zhou Chen quickly said, "No, Sister Qin, no need, I can clean it myself, don't do it."

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu's eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked at Zhou Chen with a wronged look: "Do you think I'm a widow and don't want to have any contact with me?"

'That's exactly what I think.'

But Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't say this out loud.

"Sister Qin, you misunderstood. I don't have such an idea, but I can really do these by myself. Besides, it's getting late. Sister Qin, you still have to go to work tomorrow. Go back and rest early. I also need to rest."

Don't provoke a widow easily, especially a powerful white lotus like Qin Huairu. Zhou Chen really has no idea about her.

Look at He Yuzhu in the TV drama. Because of his unclear relationship with a widow, all the women who had some feelings for him stayed away from him, and in the end he was trapped by Qin Huairu.

He didn't want to be the second He Yuzhu. If he wanted to find a woman, with his conditions, he could find a good one easily. There was no need to provoke Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu understood what Zhou Chen meant and her expression became even more aggrieved.

"I understand, Zhou Chen, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have disturbed you so late at night. I'm going to go back first. You should get some rest. You have to report to the factory tomorrow. Try to make a good impression on the leader. I believe you can do well."

Looking at Qin Huairu's back, Zhou Chen shook his head. This woman was indeed smart and her words were impeccable. No wonder He Yuzhu couldn't beat her.

With this level of status, if it weren't for the restrictions of the times, Qin Huairu would definitely be able to live a very free and easy life a few decades later.

Qin Huairu returned home, lay on the bed, and recalled what she had just seen in Zhou Chen's room.

Although she only stayed there for a few minutes, she saw a lot of new things in Zhou Chen's house. She knew at a glance that Zhou Chen's family was well-off and not short of money.

Thinking that Zhou Chen would go to work in the factory tomorrow, she made a decision in her heart that she would have a good relationship with Zhou Chen in the future, and maybe she could get some benefits from Zhou Chen.

She had heard from her mother-in-law before that Zhou Chen's father seemed to help his neighbors in the past, and maybe Zhou Chen had inherited his father's style.

It’s a pity that Zhou Chen doesn’t live in the middle courtyard. If Zhou Chen lived in the middle courtyard, she could help Zhou Chen wash and scrub like she did with Sha Zhu. In that case, maybe she could be like Sha Zhu…

As she was thinking, she fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhou Chen went to the personnel department of the steel rolling mill.

His work arrangement had already come down, and the position assigned to him by the factory was actually a heating furnace operator.

He originally thought that he would take over his father's job and become a roller loader, but he did not expect that he would be assigned to operate the heating furnace in the production workshop.

He didn't know much about this job, but judging from the name of the job, it should be related to heating furnaces and requires working in a high-temperature environment.

However, he still obeyed the factory's arrangements and decided to give it a try.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

In the past half month, he has gradually integrated into his current living environment and started to get familiar with his neighbors in the same courtyard.

After getting the job, he has been going out early and coming back late for the past ten days. Apart from frequently chatting with Uncle Zhang, Aunt Li's family, and the third uncle's family in the same courtyard, he is mostly just an acquaintance with other neighbors.

However, Uncle Yi Zhonghai looked for him several times, chatted with him, and wanted him to integrate into the compound and interact more with the people in the compound.

Regarding Yi Zhonghai's contact, Zhou Chen guessed his thoughts. This old man wanted to take advantage of him.

However, Yi Zhonghai's wishful thinking was wrong. Wanting him to help with his old age was simply wishful thinking. He was not He Yuzhu.

After working at the steel mill for more than ten days, Zhou Chen had never been to He Yuzhu's canteen to eat, because the steel mill was very large and his workshop was quite far away from He Yuzhu's canteen.

After working as a heating furnace operator for more than ten days, Zhou Chen was a little bored. To be honest, this job really did not require much technical skills and he could not learn anything from it.

The most important thing is that the environment in the workshop is not good. It is like a steamer, too hot, and taking a shower is particularly inconvenient in this era. So after working for more than ten days, he really couldn't stand it anymore and didn't want to continue working.

Action speaks louder than words. In order to get a job transfer, he has been doing a lot of research these days.

Zhou Chen went straight to Director Yang’s office. He had been there once and was already familiar with the place.

"Dong dong!"

"Come in."

Zhou Chen pushed the door open and found Director Yang sitting in a chair behind his desk.

"Hello, Director Yang."

When Director Yang saw Zhou Chen, he suddenly remembered: "It's you, Zhou Chen. You have already joined the factory, right? What position do you work in?"
