The world of film and television begins from childhood

Lou Xiao'e faced Zhou Chen with a calm attitude: "Excuse me, please come in, be careful, and help me put him on the bed."

"Ok."

Zhou Chen carried Xu Damao and put him on the bed easily, then said to Lou Xiaoe, "Sister-in-law, I'll leave first."

Lou Xiao'e thanked him again: "Zhou Chen, thank you so much. I'll take you there."

Since Xu Damao was already in bed, she didn't care and just walked Zhou Chen out the door.

"Zhou Chen, I want to ask you something. Was there really nothing wrong with my body when you examined me last time? It's not my fault that I can't get pregnant, right?"

Xu Damao asked it just now, and now Lou Xiao'e asked it again. It seems that not having children is indeed a concern for both of them.

Zhou Chen said truthfully: "Sister-in-law, there are many factors that may cause you to not be pregnant. Let me tell you this, there is nothing wrong with your body."

"So, the reason you can't get pregnant isn't because of me?"

"You can say that."

"So, is it because of Xu Damao?"

"Uh, I can't say that, sister-in-law, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Lou Xiao'e returned to the room and looked at Xu Damao, who was drunk on the bed, with an unhappy face. Although Zhou Chen didn't say it just now, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her and it must be Xu Damao's fault.

Is it that Xu Damao is infertile?

Thinking of this, she hesitated again. After all, cases of men being infertile are still a minority. Most of the time it is women's problem, just like an old man and an old woman in the Central Courtyard. It is said that it was the old woman's problem that made them infertile.

Lou Xiao'e was in a bad mood and hit Xu Damao a few times, but Xu Damao didn't react at all, so she could only sulk.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, Zhou Chen stayed alone in the traditional Chinese medicine clinic. As for Wu Yuejie, he went home early. It was Zhou Chen who asked him to leave.

Wu Yuejie has a family, so he let Wu Yuejie go back first. As for him, he is alone, so it doesn't matter whether he goes back early or late.

There weren't many people here today, and it was almost time to get off work. After tidying up the room, Zhou Chen waited for the end of the day.

But at this moment, the door of the infirmary was pushed open, and a man with his face wrapped walked in. He looked at him in surprise.

"Doctor Zhou."

The man took off his hat and scarf, revealing a face full of scars, which stunned Zhou Chen.

But he quickly recognized the other person.

"Director Li, what's going on?"

The man who came was the deputy director of the steel mill, Li Huaide, the deputy director Li in the TV series and later director Li of G meeting. Zhou Chen had worked in the steel mill for two months. Even though Li Huaide had a bruised face and nose, he recognized him at a glance.

"Doctor Zhou, can you take a look at my injury and prescribe some medicine for me? Can you reduce the swelling as soon as possible?"

Li Huaide's voice was broken, he was seriously injured.

Zhou Chen didn't ask the reason, and said directly: "Director Li, please sit down first, I will take a look at your injuries."

Li Huaide sat down in front of Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen stared at the wound on his face for a while, then asked, "Besides the face, are there any other injuries on your body?"

"My body hurts a bit too. Can you give me some medicated oil for bruises and injuries?"

"Well, let me help you take care of the wound on your face first."

Zhou Chen knew at a glance how Li Huaide got his injuries. It was obvious that he was beaten by someone, and the person who beat him was particularly heavy-handed. If this happened decades later, even if it was not a serious injury, it would at least be classified as a minor injury.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 899: Qin Huairu Delivers Dumplings on New Year's Eve

Li Huaide's injuries were quite serious, and it was obvious that they were fresh injuries from the fight.

Li Huaide is the deputy director of the steel rolling mill. In the third steel rolling mill, there are only two or three people who hold higher positions than him.

The murderer was very brave to beat Li Huaide in the steel mill.

Zhou Chen couldn't help but think of He Yuzhu's figure. He remembered that He Yuzhu had beaten Li Huaide in the plot because Li Huaide had made advances towards Qin Huairu, and it happened in the cafeteria, right under He Yuzhu's nose.

He Yuzhu already had a great liking for Qin Huairu, and she was right under his nose, so of course he couldn't help but have a hot temper, and he beat Li Huaide up.

Although Li Huaide was beaten, he did not dare to speak out. After all, he was the one who touched Qin Huairu first. If he retaliated against He Yuzhu, it was very likely that He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu would retaliate against him at all costs.

Nowadays, being a hooligan is a very serious crime, so he would not throw away his bright future just to vent his anger and seek revenge.

The reason why he could become the current deputy factory director was because of his ability to judge the situation and his patience.

He felt that there would be plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future, so there was no need to get carried away just because of a momentary anger.

Li Huaide is definitely a villain, but it is also undeniable that he is a capable person. Although he does not have many scenes in the TV series, apart from the negative behaviors he shows, it can also be seen that he is very capable.

He was able to rise from deputy factory director at the beginning to Director Li later, and ten years later, he was still relying on despicable means to obtain large amounts of money and was still living a very carefree life, all thanks to his own abilities.

In general, he is a villain who knows how to scheme and how to endure.

Although Li Huaide was not a very good person, Zhou Chen still treated him seriously in accordance with his duties as a doctor.

During the application of the medicine, Li Huaide screamed in pain. Before taking the medicine and leaving, he told Zhou Chen, "Doctor Zhou, please don't tell anyone else about what happened today."

Zhou Chen said: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who gossips."

Only then did Li Huaide leave the clinic with peace of mind.

Li Huaide was the last person to see the doctor. Shortly after seeing Li Huaide, Zhou Chen went off work.

Today is New Year's Eve. The festive atmosphere is very strong. The streets, alleys, and every household are bustling with activity. The sound of firecrackers resounds through the sky, and the sound of children playing is endless...

Although there is no high technology like that of a few decades later, the New Year atmosphere is definitely no worse than it will be in the future, especially the sound of firecrackers, which never stopped as he walked along.

You have to know that it’s not even night yet. If it were night or the morning of New Year’s Day, it would probably be even more outrageous.

It's another year that Zhou Chen spends the Spring Festival alone, but he has long been accustomed to it. After traveling through so many film and television worlds, he has forgotten how many times he has spent the holidays alone.

When I got home, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li from next door had already left. They went to their youngest daughter's house to celebrate the Spring Festival and would not be back until the sixth or seventh day of the first lunar month.

Being able to celebrate the Spring Festival at his daughter's home shows that his little daughter is quite nice. Anyway, he has lived for so many years and has rarely seen the girl's parents go to their son-in-law's home to celebrate the New Year.

The saying that a son-in-law is half a son is just like the saying that a daughter-in-law is half a daughter. It is just something you hear, but the longer you live, the more you will understand the importance of bloodline.

"Zhou Chen, do you want to come to our house for dinner tonight? If you feel embarrassed, just bring some meat dishes."

"Uncle, you didn't make any money from me for the Spring Festival couplets, and now you're thinking about my meat? It's New Year's Eve, can't you be a little more generous?"

Because this year is the first Spring Festival since Zhou Chen's father passed away, it is not allowed to post couplets. This is a custom passed down from ancient times.

The third uncle didn't care about Zhou Chen's teasing at all, and said with a smile: "I have always written the Spring Festival couplets in our courtyard. Anyone who is willing to give money can give money, and anyone who is willing to give peanuts and sunflower seeds can give peanuts and sunflower seeds. This is all done willingly by everyone."

The Spring Festival couplets for No. 95 Courtyard are written by Yan Bugui every year. This is a consensus, and everyone just gives some gift money or snacks.

"Thirty really doesn't come?"

"No, New Year's Eve is a family reunion festival, and your whole family is reuniting. What would it mean for me to go there?"

"Okay, that's fine, but you definitely don't have time to make dumplings by yourself. I'll ask your third aunt to bring you a bowl of dumplings later."

"this is OK."

Zhou Chen did not refuse this time. The customs of celebrating festivals vary from place to place, so he just followed the local customs.

When he got home, he started cooking. Although he was spending New Year's Eve alone, he still had to go through the necessary rituals.

After a while, the third aunt came over with a bowl of dumplings.

"It's not meat-filled, so just eat it."

Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't be disgusted, and then he picked up half a pound of meat and handed it to the third aunt.

"Third Auntie, take this meat back with you."

"How can this be so embarrassing?"

The corner of Zhou Chen's mouth twitched. Look at what you said. The meat was in your hand and you were grinning so happily. You didn't seem embarrassed at all.

"It's my duty. It's New Year and other holidays, so we should visit each other."

For many families, half a pound of meat is something they cannot bear to eat, but for Zhou Chen, it is nothing. People still remember you during the holidays, which is a favor. It is only natural to return the gift of half a pound of meat.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Zhou Chen cooked six dishes by himself and ordered a bottle of wine, and ate and drank leisurely.

It’s a pity that there is no TV and no Spring Festival Gala. He actually has the money to buy a TV, but in order to keep a low profile, he still holds back.

Another reason is that even if you buy a TV now, there are not many programs to watch. If there is anything you want to know, you can find out through newspapers without having to watch TV.

On New Year's Eve, apart from the sound of firecrackers outside, the courtyard was quieter than usual.

Because many people in the courtyard did not celebrate the festival in the courtyard, and those who celebrated the festival stayed at home and did not go out, so it was quieter than usual.

In the central courtyard, the Jia family is considered the most lively family in the courtyard.

In addition to Qin Huairu, her mother-in-law, and three children, there was also the couple from the eldest uncle's family, He Yuzhu's siblings, and the deaf old lady in the backyard.

They had agreed in advance that several families would get together to celebrate the New Year, so it was very lively here.

The three children of Banggeng were happy because they kowtowed and wished a happy new year and received a lot of New Year's money.

A group of people were eating and drinking and chatting lively, and as they talked they ended up talking about the Zhou family in the front yard.

It was the aunt who spoke first.

"We originally wanted to invite Zhou Chen from the front yard to celebrate the New Year with us, but he didn't want to. Now he's probably celebrating the New Year alone at home."

He Yuzhu shouted: "He deserves it. I think he is a doomed man who brings misfortune to his parents..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Huairu slapped him and said, "Silly Zhu, it's New Year's Day, what nonsense are you talking about? It's so ugly."

He Yushui also scolded: "Yeah, brother, your words are too harsh. Even if Zhou Chen has a conflict with you, you can't say that to him."

Ever since her last contact with Zhou Chen, she had felt some ripples in her heart. Later, she also heard about the conflict between her brother and Zhou Chen, and she didn't blame Zhou Chen entirely.

He Yuzhu shouted in dissatisfaction: "I didn't say anything, why are you talking about me because of Zhou Chen?"

"Zhuzi, they are not speaking for Zhou Chen. It's you who said that there is a problem. It's New Year's Day, and you are saying happy words. Look at what you said, what do you think, old lady?" The old man also scolded He Yuzhu.

The deaf old lady said with a smile: "That child is also a pitiful child. Zhuzi, your uncle is right. It is you who said the wrong thing."

"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, I should be punished, I'll drink a glass of wine myself."

He Yuzhu had just finished a glass of wine when Jia Zhang suddenly said, "Although Shazhu's words are unpleasant to hear, I think he is right about Zhou Chen. He is not a good person."

Qin Huairu glanced at her mother-in-law without leaving a trace. In fact, Jia Zhang had only had a few contacts with Zhou Chen. The reason why she was dissatisfied with Zhou Chen was entirely because of her.

An old lady said, "I think he's pretty good, especially his ability to treat illnesses. I had leg pain before, and he gave me a few injections, and it healed in two days."

"Auntie, Zhou Chen's ability to treat illnesses is well-known in our factory. Even the factory director only asks him to treat illnesses. Everyone in our factory calls him the little miracle doctor."

As soon as Qin Huairu spoke, Jia Zhang snorted coldly: "I don't believe it. How old is he? What kind of ability can he have?"

Okay, this Jia Zhang is really a conversation terminator. Every time she opens her mouth, others don’t know how to continue.

…………

After Zhou Chen finished eating and drinking, he cleaned up the table and prepared to rest.

But at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on his door.

"Who is this night of the 30th?"

When I opened the door, it turned out to be Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "I know you will be alone during the New Year and you definitely won't have time to make dumplings, so I sent them to you."

Zhou Chen was very surprised to see the lunch box Qin Huairu was carrying. He didn't have a good impression of Qin Huairu, but she sent him dumplings so late at night. No matter what her purpose was, this thought was there.

"Thank you for troubling Sister Qin. I won't be polite. Come in first."

Qin Huairu came into the house and put down the lunch box in her hand. Zhou Chen found a plate and she took out the dumplings one by one.

"Don't you feel lonely spending the holiday alone tonight?"

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

This answer surprised Qin Huairu. She knew that Zhou Chen had lived with his father before, and after joining the army, it was even more impossible for him to celebrate the holiday alone, so she was puzzled.

Zhou Chen did not show favoritism. He had previously given half a pound of meat to the third uncle's family. Now that Qin Huairu also sent dumplings, he also gave half a pound of meat to Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, take it. It's a gift in return."

"What are you doing? I'm not doing this for this. Take it back now."
