Many people attending the banquet were envious and jealous of the handsome man and beautiful woman, but they still kept smiling.
If we were to say who is the most unhappy person in the hospital, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu each take a seat, and Liu Haizhong also has to be added.
These three people all had grudges against Zhou Chen and had fought with him. Among them, He Yuzhu was beaten the worst and Liu Haizhong was beaten the most humiliatingly, so they hated Zhou Chen to the core.
But Xu Damao was held down by Qin Jingru today and was not allowed to cause trouble. The same went for He Yuzhu. Although his relationship with Qin Huairu had been strained in recent days, he still had feelings for her and would listen to her.
As for Liu Haizhong, he is old and has suffered many blows, and his mental strength has long been exhausted.
Although they did not cause any trouble, they were still very unhappy to see Zhou Chen enjoying such a glorious life, and they kept complaining about him in private.
After Zhou Chen and Chen Lin got married, Chen Lin moved into the courtyard and lived with Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen also renovated the three rooms. He separated the original room close to the central courtyard and used it as their new bedroom, and the other two rooms served as kitchens and living rooms.
The three rooms have a total usable area of 50 square meters, which is definitely enough for them since they just got married. Even if they have children in the future, they can separate another room, which will be completely enough for them to live in.
At night, Zhou Chen and Chen Lin hugged each other.
"Our hospital has a large number of people, so it may be a bit complicated. It is different from the environment you lived in before. There will be a lot of trivial things, so you may need to adapt to it."
If it wasn't for the mission requirement, Zhou Chen would definitely take Chen Lin away from the Siheyuan, but in order to complete the mission, he had no choice but to stay in the Siheyuan.
Chen Lin smiled gently and said, "It's okay. When I lived in the dormitory of my company, the environment was no better than here. Besides, I think the neighbors in the courtyard are all pretty nice."
Zhou Chen said: "Most people are good, but there are also some people... Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things, sleep, sleep."
"Ah, didn't you say you were going to sleep? What are you doing?"
"Yes, just sleep, sleep like a fool..."
…………
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it was autumn of 78.
"Doctor Zhou, you're back."
Zhou Chen was riding a motorcycle, with Chen Lin hugging him tightly in the back seat. When they arrived at the alley, their speed had become very slow.
Along the way, everyone he saw greeted Zhou Chen enthusiastically, and Zhou Chen responded politely one by one.
He is now a celebrity in Nanluoguxiang. I can’t say that everyone in this area knows him, but at least 70 to 80 percent of people know him.
When they arrived at the gate of No. 95 Courtyard, Zhou Chen stopped the motorcycle and helped Chen Lin get off the motorcycle carefully.
Chen Lin is now seven months pregnant and has difficulty moving around, so he picks her up and drops her off at get off work every day.
But Chen Lin's physical fitness is good. Although her pregnancy lasted for a long time, her physical fitness is still good and her reaction during pregnancy is not too serious.
Chen Lin walked into the yard cautiously and watched Zhou Chen drive the motorcycle into the yard again.
“It’s such a hassle to have to get the car in every day.”
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. Living in a place like this is just a bit troublesome. It's safer to leave it in the yard."
After locking the motorcycle at the front gate, Zhou Chen helped Chen Lin into the front yard.
"The young couple is back."
The old man who was watering flowers in the yard greeted me with a smile.
Chen Lin responded: "Uncle, you are busy."
"What are you busy with? I'm just watering the flowers. There's nothing else to do."
Yan Bugui is already quite old now and has long retired to the second line, so he has nothing to do all day. Watering the flowers and fishing have become his main occupations.
Chen Lin said hello and went back to the house. Zhou Chen and Yan Bugui continued chatting.
"Zhou Chen, I heard that your steel mill seems to be recruiting workers recently? You have a good relationship with the leaders of your factory. Can you use your connections to get our Jiefang and Jie Kuang into the factory?"
When Zhou Chen heard this, he immediately laughed: "Uncle San, you think too highly of me. Do you really think that I own the steel mill? Let alone two, I can't even hire one. This recruitment is for internal recruitment, not external recruitment."
Yan Bugui said anxiously, "I also work at Red Star Primary School, so I am considered an internal employee of the steel mill, right?"
"What's the difference? You better forget it. The current factory director is no longer the former Director Yang. I have no face at all now."
If it was anything else, he would have helped if he could, but in this case, he was really powerless. There were limited places for internal recruitment, and to put it bluntly, it was not much different from an internal appointment. If he wanted to squeeze one person in, there would be one less place, and he didn't want to do such a thankless task.
Moreover, he couldn't stay in the steel mill for long. After Chen Lin gave birth to the child, he would start preparing to transfer to the hospital.
"Zhou Chen, you are too modest. You are no better than Sha Zhu. He can get Bang Geng into the cafeteria kitchen, so why can't you?"
"He Yuzhu brought the stick into the factory?"
Zhou Chen was very surprised. He really didn't know about this.
Ever since He Yuzhu's plan to ask his superior to help Banggeng find a job fell through, the relationship between He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu became delicate. Not to mention Banggeng, they haven't spoken to each other for ten years. Even during the Chinese New Year in the past two years, He Yuzhu didn't go to Qin Huairu's house.
Yan Bugui said: "Yes, Sha Zhu brought Bang Geng into the canteen kitchen. This Sha Zhu is really desperate for Qin Huairu. I don't know what kind of relationship he found."
Zhou Chen was very surprised, but after thinking about it, it was not surprising. Although Sha Zhu was very stupid when it came to Qin Huairu's affairs, he still had some means. It was not too surprising that he could help Bang Geng get into the factory.
But what surprised him was that Banggeng was actually willing to be a chef, and he didn't know how Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu convinced him.
Banggeng's development trajectory is completely different from that in the TV series, but think about it, Banggeng seems to have no choice. Xu Damao already has a son, so naturally he will not try to build a good relationship with Banggeng and find a job for him. His job as the leader's driver is also gone. If Banggeng doesn't want to keep sweeping the streets, joining the steel mill and learning cooking from He Yuzhu seems to be his only option.
"Zhou Chen, can't my two sons be brought into the factory?"
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I really don't have the ability to do so."
Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and said, "How about asking your wife to help?"
Zhou Chen looked surprised. You really dare to think that.
"Zhou Chen, I know that your daughter-in-law's family is not simple, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a job. Don't worry, as long as you can help my two boys find a job, I promise to be very grateful."
Yan Bugui pulled Zhou Chen, as if to say, "If you help me, I won't let you suffer any loss."
But Zhou Chen just rolled his eyes and said, "Look at your stingy face, Old Yan, it would be a problem for me to trust you."
"Although my wife's family has some power, they don't have much power in the capital. If you are willing to let your two sons go to other provinces, I can ask my father-in-law for help."
"Forget it. I'm living well in the capital. Why would I go to another province? No, no."
When Yan Bugui heard about going to another province, he immediately shook his head and waved his hands. Although he was not very happy with his son, he did not want his son to be away from him. Who knew what the situation would be like in another province?
Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "Look, you didn't agree to this yourself, not that I won't help you."
"I see. When are you going to take a break so we can go fishing together?"
"Look at my wife like this, do you think I have time to go fishing with you?"
"Yes, look at my brain, your wife should be giving birth soon."
"almost."
When Zhou Chen returned to the house, Chen Lin had already put the rice into the pot and started picking vegetables.
"I'll come, you take a good rest."
Zhou Chen took over the task of cooking.
While eating, Chen Lin suddenly said, "My mother called me today and said she would come to take care of me during my confinement after giving birth."
Zhou Chen asked in confusion: "Then the family doesn't care?"
"My mom said it was my dad who asked her to do that. My dad is busy all day and has little time to accompany her. My eldest brother and his wife are also out of town and don't need my mom to take care of the children. So she said she would come to the capital to help us take care of the children. My dad is about to retire and will come to the capital after he retires."
"That's a good thing. I was worried that I wouldn't have time to take care of you after you gave birth, so I wanted to find a nanny. Your mother's coming is just in time."
"Then we need to clean up the house recently and make room for my mother."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "I don't think your mother is suitable to live here. Our yard is quite complicated."
Chen Lin frowned. She understood what Zhou Chen meant because she had lived here for more than a year and had witnessed the complexity of this courtyard.
It wouldn't be that troublesome, but her mother was the leader's wife after all, and it was very difficult to get her to get along well with some people in the hospital.
Zhou Chen continued, "Besides, the facilities in our yard are not good in all aspects. Even going to the toilet is troublesome, and it takes a long way to go out to buy groceries. It will definitely be inconvenient for mom to live here."
"Then what do you mean?"
"What I'm thinking is that you didn't live here during the time you had your baby."
"Don't live here?"
"Yes, I recently walked around and found some nice houses with their own doors and yards. I plan to buy one so that your parents will have a place to live when they come to the capital in the future. What do you think?"
"buy house?"
Chen Lin was very surprised. She really didn't expect that Zhou Chen was actually planning to buy a house, but she fully agreed with this decision.
Although the house I live in now is not bad, it is sharing a yard with other people after all. There are a lot of people coming and going, and it doesn't give me freedom. It is better to have my own door and yard.
"House prices in the capital are not cheap, not to mention that this is a private house. Do you have enough money? If not, I can borrow some from my parents and eldest brother."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and it should be enough."
Zhou Chen has a habit of not liking to borrow money from others, because if he borrows money from others, he will always think about it and it will make him very uncomfortable.
Of course, borrowing money from a bank and borrowing money in business are different concepts.
Zhou Chen acted very quickly. Not long after, he bought a small house with its own entrance and yard, but he had almost spent all the money he had saved over the years.
But he doesn't feel like he's losing out at all. Of course, the sooner you buy a house, the better. Whether you sell it in the future or wait for it to be demolished, you can get your money back multiple or even ten times as much.
More than two months later, more than a month before the Chinese New Year, Chen Lin successfully gave birth to a boy. Zhou Chen, who was already hesitant to name the boy, gave the naming rights to Chen Lin. Chen Lin was even better, so she gave the naming rights to her father.
Finally, Chen's father named the child Zhou Pengcheng, hoping that the child would have a bright future like a roc spreading its wings.
Zhou Chen naturally had no objection. To him, a name was just a title, as long as it wasn't particularly ugly. As for the five elements and feng shui, he didn't care much about it now.
A few more years passed, and a lot of things happened in these years.
First of all, after He Yuzhu helped Banggeng enter the steel rolling mill canteen, he and Qin Huairu finally got together, but there was a small episode in the process.
That is, Xu Damao didn't know that they had already obtained a marriage certificate. After discovering that the two were living together, he hired someone to trick them, but in the end he was the one who was embarrassed.
In order to vent his hatred, He Yuzhu also revealed the fact that Qin Jingru was faking her pregnancy.
But Qin Jingru was not panicked at all. Instead, he said that it was Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu who gave him the idea and that they were the ones with bad intentions.
Xu Damao was naturally very angry at the time, but Qin Jingru had "given birth" to him a son, who was so grown up now, so of course he couldn't fall out with Qin Jingru just for this.
He scolded Qin Jingru a few times, but Qin Jingru refused to give in. She started to fight with him and threatened him that if he dared to treat her badly, she would divorce him and live alone with her son.
Xu Damao, who regards his son as his life, immediately fell in love. He doesn't care about anyone, but he is absolutely reluctant to part with his cute and smart son.
This is the son he has waited for many years, and he may never have another one in the future. He doesn't want to end up with a family without a son like Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, so he will not do anything that is not good for his son.
Xu Damao, who couldn't do anything about Qin Jingru, could only hold a grudge against He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu. He had fought with them many times in the past few years, but he didn't get any advantage.
One year, Aunt Yi suddenly had a heart attack. Coincidentally, Zhou Chen lived alone in the courtyard at that time. He saved Aunt Yi and prevented her from dying like in the TV series.
Chen Lin and the children had moved out a long time ago, and now Zhou Chen is the only one living in the courtyard, and he can't even stay there for half a month.
Chen's father also retired a long time ago. He now lives with Chen's mother in the small courtyard bought by Zhou Chen and helps the couple take care of their children.
Zhou Chen and Chen Lin also dared to give birth to another son before the family planning policy was implemented. Now both sons are being raised by the old couple.
As for Zhou Chen, through his own efforts and some connections, he was transferred from the steel rolling mill to the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and became an associate chief physician.
The reason why he went to the Chinese Medicine Hospital was because it was close to Nanluoguxiang, and he could find an excuse to live in the courtyard. Otherwise, if he continued to live in that small courtyard, he would not be able to complete his main task.
After working another night shift, Zhou Chen came to the courtyard early in the morning. As soon as he entered the front yard, he saw the third uncle watering the flowers again.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 920: The Yan family opens a restaurant, and Sha Zhu is the chef
"Uncle, you're watering the flowers again. Aren't you afraid of drowning if you water the flowers every day?"
"What do you know? I have to water my flowers every day. Are you on night shift again and coming back to sleep?"
Yan Bugui didn't even put down the kettle, and said to Zhou Chen in a familiar voice, "I think you're really weird. You obviously bought a new house, which is not too far away, but why do you always come here to sleep? Could it be that you and your father-in-law are not getting along well, so you come here to get some peace and quiet?"
Zhou Chen said unhappily, "You are really thoughtful, why don't you think of me? You really want to be alone, but you just want to be alone with these two little kids."
His two sons are younger than each other and are both at an age where they can make a lot of noise. He cannot get a good night's sleep at home during the day. Therefore, it is justified for him to come here to rest.
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to go back and have some sleep."
"Wait, I have something to ask you."
Yan Bugui dropped the watering can and walked over to Zhou Chen.
