Chapter 1373 Two years later, the mission is completed
"Jingle Bell!"
The clear and loud ringing of bicycle bells rang through the streets in the early morning, and pedestrians on the road avoided the speeding bicycles.
She had so much fun last night that Peng Yongli got up a little late in the morning, so Zhou Chen drove her to school quickly on his bicycle.
Peng Yongli, who was sitting in the back, held Zhou Chen's waist with one hand and raised the other hand high, with a face full of joy.
This is not the first time Zhou Chen sends her to school, but every time she is very happy. The person she likes sends her to school. This is another happy day.
At the school gate, Zhou Chen handed the prepared bag to Peng Yongli.
"It contains some snacks I prepared for you. I am leaving the car in the afternoon and will not be back until a few days later. I am going to Harbin. Do you have anything you want me to bring?"
"No."
Peng Yongli shook her head. She felt that she was living a very happy life now. She had a second father and a family who took good care of her, and a boyfriend who was very good to her. Even in the strange city of Ningyang, she felt warm in her heart.
After straightening Zhou Chen's scarf, she said softly: "Then remember to miss me."
Zhou Chen scraped her nose: "Of course, who else can I think of besides you? Come in quickly, don't be late."
"All right."
Peng Yongli waved to Zhou Chen reluctantly, walked slowly into the campus step by step, and then turned around and waved to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen also waved his hand and rode away until he could no longer see him.
Time is like running water, passing through your fingers silently.
In the summer vacation of 1982, Peng Yongli did not return to Harbin, but continued to stay in Ningyang.
In fact, today's college students are different from those of later generations. Many students who come to college do not go home during the winter and summer vacations.
Many of them are due to financial constraints, and the distance is too long. It's too hard to go back and forth. It's better to stay in school and study, or work part-time.
It's just that Peng Yongli is different. She can go back to live with her second father. Living in Ma's house is just like living in her own home, and it's even more lively.
When she goes home, she is alone at home most of the time, but living in this compound, not only her second father's family, but also her boyfriend Zhou Chen is with her. Even if she misses her father, she can go to Harbin with Zhou Chen.
, even Peng Mingjie occasionally comes to Ningyang to see her.
Zhou Chen placed some meat coupons, cloth coupons, industrial coupons and other coupons in front of Peng Yongli.
"Uncle Ma's family is not well off now. If you want to live in Uncle Ma's house for such a long time, you can't just go empty-handed. But Uncle Ma probably won't ask for money if you give him money, so you don't have to give money, just give it."
Let's try to see if he wants these tickets."
Currently, only two people work in the Ma family, Ma Kui and Ma Yan. Ma Yan's salary from her job is only enough for her alone, and there is not much left over.
Ma Kui works as a criminal police officer. Although his salary and bonus are higher than those of ordinary jobs, he is still a working-class person. He has a wife who is in poor health and takes medicine all year round, and a son who is several years old. You can imagine the pressure of life.
.
If Peng Yongli was added to the family, living expenses would definitely be insufficient. Peng Yongli had lived a good life under the love and care of her father since she was a child. In the past three or four months, the Ma Kui family had been keeping close to her. Their warm love and care made her unaware of the problem.
Only after being reminded by Zhou Chen did she wake up.
"But I can't take it from you. Otherwise, I'd better tell my dad. My dad has money."
This naivety made Zhou Chen laugh a little. She had never lived a hard life, but after all she was somewhat lacking in this kind of human sophistication.
"That's different. Uncle Peng is rich, but how could Uncle Ma accept his money? Uncle Ma usually looks kind and gentle, but in fact he is also very arrogant. He regards Uncle Peng as his savior.
He feels that taking care of you is what he should do, so it is impossible to collect money. Uncle Peng also knows this, so he never said this, and at most he just brought things over."
"But it's different for you. You just say that these coupons are subsidies issued by the school. You have no need to use them in the school. As for mine and yours, there is no need to separate them so clearly. Anyway, I recognize you.
, in my heart, what’s mine is yours.”
Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Peng Yongli was very moved and accepted the tickets.
"Zhou Chen, I also recognize you. We have agreed that when I graduate, we will get married."
"Okay, what if your dad doesn't agree?"
"No, my dad loves me the most, he will definitely agree."
"You are right, I will convince him to give you to me."
Zhou Chen originally had good intentions in doing this, but who knew that Ma Kui would come to his door that night.
"Uncle Ma, why are you here?"
"Why am I here?"
Ma Kui walked into the room with a sullen face, then turned to Zhou Chen and asked, "Are these the ones you gave to Lili?" As he said that, he took out a handful of coupons from his pocket.
Zhou Chen was not embarrassed, he just said with admiration: "Uncle Ma is indeed Uncle Ma, I can't hide anything from you."
"Stop looking at me carelessly. Do you think my job as a detective was for nothing? What kind of temperament does Lili have? How can I not know? She doesn't have so many thoughts, and Mingjie won't do this kind of behavior, except for you.
Besides, who else can persuade Lili?"
Ma Kui snorted coldly and shouted: "I think you are really full of food and meddling in other people's business. Although you are in a relationship with Lili now, but after all, you are not married yet, then you are still an outsider. Lili is calling
My second father is my daughter. My daughter has room and board at home. Do I need to give her money or tickets?"
"I……"
"What are you doing? I'm not here to listen to your explanation. I'm here to tell you that if this happens again in the future, don't blame me for scolding you."
Zhou Chen had a wry smile on his face. He had actually guessed this kind of situation, but he really wanted to do his best, but a man like Ma Kui simply couldn't accept this kind of help.
"Yes, Uncle Ma, you have said so, and I will naturally not do it again in the future."
The reason why he guessed that Ma Kui might refuse, but still did it, was to teach Peng Yongli how to be humane and to give it a try.
Ma Kui hummed: "Remember, don't think that I don't know what you are planning. Although our family's conditions are not good, we can still survive with one more Lili. When your kid really marries Lili in the future,
Now, let’s think about these things again.”
Of course he knows what his family's situation is like. If the situation really becomes untenable, he will be willing to lower his head for the sake of his wife and children.
But now their family has not reached that level. He and Ma Yan can still maintain the family, so naturally he is not willing to bend down.
"Also, I have no objection to you and Lili being in a relationship, but you are a few years older than her, and Lili is still in college. You have to know in your mind whether you can do certain things."
"Uncle Ma, don't worry, I like Lili, so naturally I want to be good to her and won't hurt her."
"Remember your words."
After scolding Zhou Chen, Ma Kui left.
"Uncle Ma really hasn't changed at all."
Zhou Chen sighed in his heart. Although this was just a small matter, it could still reveal Ma Kui's true nature. He could understand Ma Kui. If it were him, he would probably make the same choice as Ma Kui.
But there is a lot of truth in the saying that a friend will win a favor and a friend will fight with hatred. It may be because he has lived a long time and has many thoughts, so he always feels that trust is possible, but sometimes he has to think more and be prepared.
In the autumn of 1982, the system notified Zhou Chen that one of the side missions was completed, that is, the five-year policeman's side mission.
Zhou Chen was filled with emotion. Five years have passed by in a flash. Even though he has lived in various film and television worlds for many years, he still often laments that time really cannot be retained. A few years or decades are just a matter of time.
It's past.
He has lived in the film and television world for so many years, which would be enough for him to live dozens of lifetimes in the real world.
So in his heart, he is very grateful to the system that binds him. Maybe in many novels, the system will become the villain in the end, but for him, he is more grateful. After all, without the system, he would not be where he is now.
Without a system, he is just one of thousands of ordinary people who may always struggle at the bottom and never enjoy wealth and glory.
It is no exaggeration to say that the system is his biggest job, so although he often curses the system, he really can't do anything to ruin his job, and he is reluctant to leave the system, wishing that the system could always accompany him and take him
Experience more of the film and television world, all the worlds...
As for more, why do you think so much? It is enough to get the immediate benefits first. Who knows what will happen in the future?
Although he has been working as a police officer for five years, Zhou Chen has not thought about resigning. After all these years, he has become accustomed to it. The job of a police officer is not bad. As for starting a new business and going into business or something,
It's better to continue being a police officer and feel more comfortable.
In any case, he is now a very promising police sergeant. If he continues to work, he will definitely have a bright future in the future.
The end of the universe is the establishment, what a great job.
In this way, I worked for more than a year, and in the blink of an eye it was early 1984.
To be continued...
