After talking about the matter, Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu didn't stay any longer and left Zhou Chen's house.
Zhou Chen took the three thousand yuan given by Mao Tutu to his bedroom, took out a locked safe from under the bed, opened it, and put the money in.
It has been more than two years since I came to this world, and I have been working for more than two years. In addition to the partnership with Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu, I now have more than 10,000 yuan in deposits in the safe.
It is only now 1977, and the rarity of households with ten thousand yuan is comparable to that of multi-millionaires in later generations.
That is to say, the current courtyard houses are not easy to trade. Otherwise, Zhou Chen's money would be enough to buy several small courtyard houses.
The most inconvenient thing about the courtyard is the toilet problem. Zhou Chen once thought about getting a flush toilet in his yard, but the septic tank was not easy to install in the courtyard, so in the end he had to leave it alone.
Fortunately, the public toilets nearby are still OK. At least they are several times cleaner than the toilets in Guangzipian.
Zhou Chen also wanted to buy a new-style house, but the money was not easy to explain, so he kept putting it off until now he is used to it.
Thinking of the gathering of educated youth, Zhou Chen couldn't help but think of the confrontation between Han Chunming and Cheng Jianjun in the TV plot at the gathering of educated youth.
Han Chunming, who rarely suffered losses, ended up suffering a big loss because he underestimated Cheng Jianjun and was embarrassed in public.
"Such an interesting thing, I can go and witness it when the time comes."
It's another rest day. Zhou Chen went to his second uncle's house early this morning. Today is Zhou Qingqing's birthday, and the whole family will be there.
When Zhou Chen came, he found that his sister and brother-in-law had already arrived.
"Sister, brother-in-law."
This is of course not the first time Zhou Chen has met Sun Dapeng. In the past two years, he and Sun Dapeng have met many times, and the relationship between the two is also good.
Sun Dapeng is indeed a relatively honest husband. In addition to working hard, he always goes home to accompany his wife and take care of their children.
But he is really a bit useless, because his status in his parents' family is not high, so even with Zhou Yi and the child, he is not very popular there.
Especially Zhou Yi gave birth to a girl, but did not continue to have children. In this era, the mentality of favoring boys over girls was very serious, so Zhou Yi, who did not have a son, naturally received even more unfair treatment.
Zhou Chen saw all these things, but he couldn't help openly with this kind of thing. He could only beat Sun Dapeng and let Sun Dapeng know that if he treats his sister badly, he would never let him have an easy time.
Fortunately, Sun Dapeng is sensible. Although he is not happy with Zhou Chen's warning tone, he is really good to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi takes care of everything at home and pays his wages in time.
Even if Zhou Yi sometimes gave Zhou Chen subsidies for buying this or that, he never said anything.
"Xiaoya."
When Zhou Chen saw Sun Xiaoya being held by Zhou Yi, he stretched out his hands to him with a smile on his face.
"uncle."
Sun Xiaoya was also very happy to see Zhou Chen. She was still young, but she had a deep impression of her uncle.
Because her uncle always buys her delicious food, makes fun things for her, rides big horses for her, and takes her out to play.
In her young heart, such an uncle was the best person in the world.
Zhou Chen picked up Sun Xiaoya. Although Xiaoya was already three years old, she weighed less than thirty kilograms and looked a little thin.
"Xiaoya, have you not eaten well recently? You have become thinner."
Zhou Chen is a nationally renowned doctor, and he could see Xiaoya's thinness at a glance.
Zhou Yi said: "Yes, Xiaoya doesn't know what's going on recently. She just refuses to eat."
Zhou Chen said: "It's okay. I'll write a prescription later. You go grab some medicine and give it to her to drink. She should be fine soon."
Sun Dapeng looked at Zhou Chen in surprise: "Xiao Chen, can you still see a doctor?"
Zhou Yi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why can't my brother? I've been sick several times before, but I always took the medicine he prescribed for me, and I recovered quickly."
Zhou Yi has complete confidence and complete trust in her younger brother.
Over the past two years, Zhou Chen has given her too many surprises. At the beginning, she was the one who helped Zhou Chen, but soon she found that Zhou Chen gave her more things in return than what she gave, even if
If she didn't want it, Zhou Chen would force it on her.
So she was particularly touched, and her love for Zhou Chen became even deeper.
Sun Dapeng said in admiration: "Xiaochen, you are so awesome."
Zhou Chen smiled politely and said: "Brother-in-law, if you feel uncomfortable in any way in the future, don't be polite and ask me to help you."
Sun Dapeng asked doubtfully: "But where did you learn medical skills? Why haven't I heard your sister talk about it before?"
"When I was jumping in line before, I was with a guy from the village who went to Fanglang Middle School."
Zhou Chen dealt with it casually, since this kind of thing cannot be verified anyway.
Zhou Qingqing, who was dressing up in the room, came out. Today is her birthday. She wore a pure white princess dress and looked even more youthful and beautiful.
Zhou Qingqing will go to high school soon. She is already a big girl, but her personality is still soft.
Zhou Qingqing was very happy when she saw Zhou Chen. She reached out to ask Zhou Chen for a gift, but Zhou Chen didn't hide it and gave her the watch he prepared.
Watches are also a big item in this era. Zhou Qingqing was very happy when he saw this lady's watch. He put it on his hand and played with it non-stop.
During the meal, the second aunt Mi Wen brought up a common question again.
"Xiaochen, you are twenty-six today. When are you going to find a partner to get married?"
Suddenly, everyone at the table looked at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen replied very calmly: "Marriage is a major event in life. If you can't find someone you like, you will suffer in the future."
"That's what you say, but it's not a big deal if you keep putting it off."
"Don't worry, Second Aunt, I know what I'm doing. I promise to find you an obedient and filial nephew-in-law, and let her help you with your work every day."
"You kid, you're looking for a partner on your own. You say it as if you're doing it for me."
"It's all the same, it's all the same."
Zhou Chen changed the topic with a smile, and Mi Wen also understood what he meant and didn't delve into it further.
After dinner, Zhou Liangping took Zhou Chen into the study.
"Xiao Chen, I'm afraid what you said before will really be implemented."
When Zhou Liangping said this, he was still shocked. He had already gotten the news, and the superiors had already started discussing the resumption of the college entrance examination.
However, he was not shocked by this incident. What shocked him was that Zhou Chen had already guessed this matter more than two years ago. He was shocked by his nephew's foresight.
"How have you been studying lately?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, second uncle, there is absolutely no problem in getting admitted to university, and I have already chosen the school, Peking University."
"Oh, are you so confident?"
Zhou Liangping was shocked by Zhou Chen's words. Peking University is one of the best universities in the country. Those who can be admitted to Peking University are the best of the best. Although he has confidence in his nephew, he has never thought about it.
, Zhou Chen can be admitted to Peking University.
Zhou Chen said: "I have been preparing for so long, so of course I have confidence."
"Having confidence is a good thing. If you can really get admitted to Peking University, you will be a great honor to our old Zhou family."
Of course Zhou Liangping also hopes that Zhou Chen can be admitted to Peking University. He has been a cadre for so many years and knows the importance of knowledge. If Zhou Chen can really be admitted to Peking University, his future will definitely be bright.
Zhou Chen chatted with Zhou Liangping for a long time before leaving with his sister Zhou Yi and the others.
The efficiency and appeal of Yang Huajian and several other cadre students were very strong. It didn't take long for them to contact the vast majority of the educated youth who had joined the queue in Xiaoqinghe.
They invited both familiar and unfamiliar people. A rough estimate was that there must be at least forty or fifty people among the educated youth alone.
After Zhou Chen got off work that day, he did not go home directly, but came to the entrance of an alley.
As soon as Zhou Chen arrived at his destination, he saw Han Chunming sleeping on the wooden board of a tricycle. He went over and slapped him on the body.
"Oh, who hit me?"
Han Chunming sat up in shock, looked around, and then saw Zhou Chen.
"It's you, why are you here?"
Zhou Chen asked: "I've been here several times before, but I haven't seen you. Where have you been during this time?"
"I went downstairs to collect rags. What do you want from me?"
"Did Yang Huajian come to see you and tell you about the educated youth gathering?"
"As I said, they came to see me the day before yesterday, but I didn't agree and I wasn't going to go."
