In fact, the origin of this bicycle ticket is not as simple as she said.
In order to get this bicycle ticket, she took out some food stamps and cloth stamps at home, and then exchanged them with others for this bicycle ticket, which was a bit of a loss.
"You keep your bicycle tickets and the money. You can buy a bicycle later and you can ride to work tomorrow."
Zhou Chen saw Li Suhua take out a handful of zero votes and couldn't help but ask: "Mom, isn't this the living expenses dad left for you? Why did you give it all to me?"
Li Suhua: "I still have some left. I heard that a bicycle costs more than 100. We work in a publishing house, so we can't buy cheap ones, we have to buy famous brands. You don't have to worry about living expenses, your dad will send them back regularly. Besides,
Aren’t you going to work soon? You’ll be paid soon. There are only two of us in our family, so we can’t afford much food.”
"Mom, you are quite vain." Zhou Chen said with a smile.
Li Suhua rolled her eyes at him and said confidently: "You went to work in a publishing house. You are worthy of pride. Among us children of phototypes, who else has a better job than you? My son is successful. As a mother, of course
Be happy."
"As long as you're happy."
Bicycle tickets and banknotes were already prepared. After dinner, Zhou Chen took Li Suhua to Youyi Store to buy a bicycle.
Zhou Chen meant to just buy any one, but when the results arrived, Li Suhua insisted on buying a good one, so he finally bought a Forever brand bicycle, which cost more than 140.
In this era when the average salary is only in the teens and 20s, a bicycle worth nearly 150 is really a big deal.
Li Suhua was even happier than Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen took her on a bicycle all the way back to Guangzi Film.
"Stop, stop."
Li Suhua called Zhou Chen to stop, and Zhou Chen braked and looked at Li Suhua with some confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Li Suhua said: "Walk back."
"Walking back?"
Zhou Chen was a little confused. He had a bicycle, so why did he have to walk back?
But he soon learned the reason.
"Sister, is this a bicycle you just bought? It's a permanent brand."
"Yeah, our Kun'er has found a job, so I'm thinking about buying him a bicycle. I can't walk to and from get off work every day."
"Hey, I remember that Bingkun is only seventeen this year, right? He has already been assigned a job?"
"No, our Kun'er didn't trouble the street leaders. It wasn't the assigned job. It was the publishing house, Jiangliao Publishing House, who found out that our Kun'er had the material to be an editor, so he was recruited to work at the publishing house.
"
"The publishing house is a good state-owned enterprise, but what does an editor do? Does it have a staff?"
"Of course it is compiled. Editing is the job of writing articles and poems."
"Oh, that's incredible. You are a cultural person. Sister, you are so lucky. Your eldest son and daughter are so sensible. Now Bingkun has also found a good job. Just wait and enjoy your blessings."
"This is all for the children to strive for their own success. As a mother, I am uneducated and can't teach anything."
"Mom Bingkun, I just bought a bicycle. Oh my God, it looks so good."
"It's not bad. It's for Kuner to ride to and from get off work."
"Hey, Bingkun is at work too."
"Yes, the children have grown up in a blink of an eye, and our Kun'er is working in a publishing house."
"The publishing house, that's a good company. I've been able to tell since I was a child that Bingkun is different from the rough guys like us. Just look at his appearance and you can tell he's educated."
"…………"
Along the way, whenever someone spoke to him, Li Suhua would stop and chat with them for a while. Zhou Chen was smiling all the way and felt that the muscles on his face were stiff from laughter.
Now he finally understood why Li Suhua had to get out of the car and walk home after arriving at the boundary of the photo album. She wanted to show off her co-authorship.
It was not a very long journey, but I walked for nearly an hour. As I was about to arrive home, I met an acquaintance.
"Bingkun mother."
"Hey, sister, what a coincidence."
The two people walking towards him, one of whom Zhou Chen had seen before, was Aunt Qiao who had been to his house, and the other was a girl wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket, Qiao Chunyan.
After seeing Zhou Chen, Qiao Chunyan greeted Zhou Chen very warmly: "Brother Bingkun."
Zhou Chen replied calmly: "Chun Yan."
Qiao Chunyan is one of the most outstanding supporting actresses in this drama, and she has a lot of roles.
In the play, Qiao Chunyan has a free and bold personality and is willing to help others. However, later on, she becomes a bit dark and becomes a selfish villain who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
In fact, this change is not sudden. Some people can only share adversity, but not wealth.
Qiao Chunyan has this characteristic. When she is better than others and lives better than others, she can continue to give and help wholeheartedly.
But once she saw that others were living a better life than her and her interests were touched, she immediately turned against them.
As for the things she did in the later stages of the TV series, that is, the TV series. If it were placed in reality, how could she be forgiven?
But at this time, Qiao Chunyan was still a girl, a few months younger than Zhou Chen.
Qiao Chunyan did not see Zhou Chen's indifference, but happily walked to Zhou Chen's side and wanted to hold Zhou Chen's arm, but Zhou Chen calmly avoided her.
Qiao Chunyan didn't take it seriously and asked, "Brother Bingkun, I haven't seen you out playing much lately. What have you been doing lately?"
The photo was so big, and the two houses were so close together that they could not be seen without looking up, so she felt strange that she had not seen Zhou Chen for more than a month.
"Nothing, I've been reading at home lately."
"Hey, brother Bingkun, are you lying to me? Can you still read?"
Qiao Chunyan suddenly laughed disdainfully. There were only a few people among them who could read. She and Zhou Bingkun went to school together, so she naturally knew what level Zhou Bingkun was.
Li Suhua became unhappy after hearing this. She said with a proud face: "Chunyan, you don't know. Our Kun'er has been reading at home recently. Sister, you don't know, Bingkun has already found a job."
Already."
Chunyan's mother looked confused: "Bingkun was assigned? Why didn't I hear about it?"
She works on the street and is very well-informed, but she hasn't heard that Zhou Chen has assigned any work.
Li Suhua was even more proud after hearing this: "Our Bingkun is not assigned a job, nor does he go to work in the factory. He works at Jiangliao Publishing House, and he has to report tomorrow morning. No, this is to make it convenient for him to commute to get off work. , I just bought a bicycle, a permanent brand."
The relationship between the two families is very good, but it is also because of the good relationship that Li Suhua wants to show off even more.
"Ouch, is it true or false?"
Both Chunyan's mother and Qiao Chunyan couldn't believe it. If it was Zhou Bingyi or Zhou Rong who went to work in the publishing house, they would still be somewhat convinced.
But Zhou Bingkun, are you kidding me?
Seeing their questioning, Li Suhua suddenly became unhappy: "Sister, I can still lie to you. Bingkun, take out that note and show it to your aunt."
Zhou Chen felt helpless: "Mom, I didn't bring the note, I'm at home."
Chunyan's mother looked at Zhou Chen suspiciously: "Bingkun, is what your mother said true? Are you really going to work at the publishing house tomorrow?"
She is an activist who works in the streets. She knows a little more about Jiangliao Publishing House than others. Just from the name, you can tell that this is a key state-owned unit in the province and she is engaged in cultural work. She is born with it.
Compared to the dignity of being a coolie.
Feudal society has only passed for a few decades, and the status of scholars is still very high in the eyes of ordinary people.
Zhou Chen replied: "Well, Auntie, everything my mother said is true."
"Brother Bingkun, you are too awesome."
Qiao Chunyan's voice was loud. She stared at Zhou Chen with big eyes, full of brilliance.
Zhou Chenfeng said calmly: "Luck, good luck, Mom, let's go back."
Li Suhua saw the expression she wanted to see from the old sisters' expressions, and felt extremely proud.
"Sister, let's go back first. Bingkun will go to work tomorrow, and I have to help him clean up. After all, it is the child's first day at work, and he must leave a good impression on the leader."
"Yes, yes, yes, Bingkun mother, then go back and prepare."
Chunyan's mother said goodbye with a smile on her face, but after Zhou Chen and Li Suhua moved away, her smile instantly faded, revealing a depressed look.
