Although Zhou Chen told everyone in advance to drink less, they are all young people after all. Once they start drinking, they simply cannot control themselves.
After several bottles of wine, several boys began to feel faint, talking nonsense and making the atmosphere at the dinner table a mess.
The meal lasted for more than two hours before it ended. Qiushui and the others, including Houpu, were all drunk. They were completely supported by Zhou Chen and several girls before they staggered back to the dormitory.
Counting on these scammers to help with the move is really doomed.
The next day, these people slept until noon before waking up one after another. Zhou Chen and Zhao Yingnan had already led a group of girls to clean the rental house.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the animals came over to help move things.
After two days on the weekend, I finally tidied up the rental house, and then opened the windows to let some air in.
"Zhou Chen, why don't you rent a house with all the equipment installed, including air conditioning, refrigerator, bathroom heater, solar energy... Your conditions are too good, right?"
After the things in the house were installed, Qiu Shui and others were stunned when looking at the pieces of furniture inside, because they were so luxurious.
"Are you planning to never stay in the dormitory again? The school doesn't seem to allow it, right?" Xin Yi asked curiously.
Zhou Chen: "No, I will come here when I have free time on weekends. The things here are mainly prepared for my parents when they come."
"I thought you were just going to live here with Zhao Yingnan every day without shame." Qiu Shui chuckled.
"As far as you can tell, hurry up, clean up, and continue the feast tonight." Zhou Chen waved his hand and continued to leave the restaurant.
In fact, a set of furniture and electrical appliances here cost Zhou Chen a lot of money, mainly because these things are difficult to buy and expensive. If he didn't have the money, he wouldn't dare to make them like this.
The life of medical school is actually similar to that of other universities. It has not yet reached the stage of internship, and it is not very busy. Zhou Chen is busy studying every day. During his break, he goes around the school to inspect, and sometimes he goes with Zhao Yingnan.
Yanjing’s scenic spots and historic sites.
In the blink of an eye, the semester is coming to an end. After the final exam, the students in the class are preparing to go home.
It has been a year and a half since the day when the military training started. Except for the classmates who live in Yanjing, no one has been back home. Now that they can finally go home, everyone is very excited.
Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to go home, but used the holidays before the Chinese New Year to get things done at the newsstand.
In fact, he had chosen the location a long time ago, but he was not in a hurry to open the business. Instead, he wanted to wait for his parents to come over before choosing to open the business.
After the holiday, Zhao Yingnan did not leave immediately, but ran around with Zhou Chen. It was not until her father called and urged her several times that she reluctantly left.
"Squad leader, have you packed up? Can you go?"
Zhou Chen asked Houpu who was busy.
"No, wait a little longer, wait a little longer, do you still have a bag there? I can't put my things in it."
Hou Pu was so busy that he was sweating all over. There was a bag on the left and a bag on the right of the bed, both of which he wanted to take home.
Zhou Chen said helplessly: "Squad leader, tell me, just bring some specialties, and bring snacks home. There are so many bags, can you handle it by yourself?"
Houpu said with a naive smile: "These are all the food I brought back to my nieces and nephews, as well as other specialties and clothes, all brought to my parents. This is the money I earned from my own work-study program. Since I
If you can make money, of course you have to repay your parents and sisters."
In the clinical medicine class, Houpu is definitely the busiest person. In addition to being the monitor, he also works part-time and is a part-time student.
"By the way, Zhou Chen, I told you, don't forget what you told me last time. I will come back to work on the fifth day of the new year."
"I know, I promise I won't find anyone else, don't worry."
Zhou Chen said helplessly that he had told Hou Pu to work in a newsstand. The newsstand would be opened after the New Year. There were many trivial matters before the opening, so he gave Hou Pu a salary to do it.
Houpu agreed without saying a word, and didn't even discuss the salary. According to him, as long as Zhou Chen worked for him, it didn't matter how much the salary was.
Including the work-study job he did before the holidays, Zhou Chen helped him find it. Originally, he was planning to do it in school, but the salary of the work-study program in the school was too low. The job Zhou Chen helped him find had a salary more than twice as high, so he
I went to do it happily.
In fact, it's not a heavy job, it's just a library tidying job. Before the library gets off work every day, he needs to sort out the books and put them according to location and category.
So after one semester, he also saved a lot of pocket money. This guy was usually very generous, but when he bought things for his family, he was very generous, which surprised Zhou Chen.
Houpu could have left after the holiday, but Zhou Chen felt that taking a train alone for a long time was too boring. The train he wanted to take happened to pass through Xuzhou, so he asked Houpu to go back with him.
Houpu didn't want to agree at first and wanted to go home as soon as possible, but when Zhou Chen said that he would reimburse the fare and food expenses on the road, Houpu immediately agreed without saying a word.
Having lived with Houpu for more than a year, Zhou Chen knew very well how to deal with him, and that was to throw money at him. As soon as this guy saw the benefits, his brain would immediately stop working.
Although Hopu is greedy for money and nosy, he is actually very responsible and gets along well with everyone.
"Pack up, let's go."
It's hundreds of kilometers from Yanjing to Xuzhou. This era is different from a few decades later. A few decades later, the high-speed train only took two or three hours, but now the green trains, the time required has doubled, not to mention
It will take more than ten hours, and with stops along the way, the time will only be longer.
Sitting down on the train all the way, Zhou Chen felt that his stomach was turning. Damn it, it was really too painful.
Houpu, on the other hand, was lying on the berth with a look of enjoyment. If it were him, he would probably just buy a standing ticket, but with Zhou Chen, it would be a berth. He thought longingly that if he went home in the future, he would be able to get it every time.
Just go with Zhou Chen.
After a long bumpy ride, we finally arrived at the station. Then Zhou Chen said goodbye to Houpu and took their cars home.
Zhou Chen just got off the bus and saw his parents, who were exactly the same as his parents in the real world, but they looked more than ten years younger.
"Dad, Mom."
The excitement of seeing my parents again in another world is really beyond words.
Mother Li Congping also hugged Zhou Chen excitedly. She had not seen her son for more than a year, and when she saw him again, she could not calm down her excitement.
Father Zhou Zhiming has a 28-length hairstyle. He is more than ten years younger and seems to be in very good spirits. Although he did not speak, his eyes turned red, showing that he was also in a very uneasy mood.
"walk home."
"Um."
After returning home, Zhou Chen took out all the gifts he bought for his parents. Although his parents were blaming them, the smiles on their faces betrayed the joy in their hearts.
"Son, after a year of military training, it must be very hard."
Li Congping has not let go of her son since she saw him. When she got home, she kept touching Zhou Chen's body, wanting to see if her son had suffered.
Zhou Chen said: "Mom, it's okay. It's not hard. Look, I've become a lot stronger."
Zhou Zhiming also muttered: "How can young people not endure hardship? We were back then..."
"Shut up and go cook."
Before he even finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted. Li Congping drove Zhou Zhiming away without giving him a chance to speak.
Zhou Zhiming muttered with a depressed look on his face: "When my son comes back, I won't be happy anymore..."
Zhou Chen smiled secretly, these are his parents, even in the parallel world, they have not changed at all.
Zhou Chen chatted with his mother, and soon it was time to eat.
"You want us to go to Yanjing with you?"
Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping put down their chopsticks at the same time and looked at their son in surprise.
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Well, Yanjing is too far away from home. It takes me a year and a half to come back. I don't think you will be able to see me, so you might as well go to Yanjing with me. I have rented a house."
Okay, I've already done the work for you, and opened a newsstand, which is enough to keep you busy."
Li Congping said angrily: "You kid, why don't you discuss anything with us? You said you rented a house and opened a newsstand. Where did you get the money? You must have done something illegal or criminal, right?
?”
Zhou Zhiming also frowned and said: "Son, I know you are doing it for our own good, but you have been admitted to the best medical school in the country. All you have to do is study hard, and you don't have to worry about our affairs. Why are you worrying so much?"
ah."
Zhou Chen explained calmly: "Dad, Mom, listen to me, money is earned through legitimate channels. During military training, I wrote two novels..."
After briefly talking about the publication of their novels, Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping were both shocked and widened their eyes, unable to believe that their sons had earned such money.
"You wrote a novel and earned hundreds of thousands in royalties?"
"Well, there will be subsequent dividends in the future."
Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping looked at each other, each seeing distrust in the other's eyes.
Zhou Chen said: "If you don't believe it, come with me to Yanjing after the new year to look at the house. I have already booked a place at the newsstand, and some classmates will help me get it after the new year. Anyway, I have taken care of these things. If you
If I don’t go, I won’t have time to take care of it, and all the initial investment will be wasted.”
As soon as Li Congping heard about money, she immediately asked nervously: "How much did you invest?"
"Totaling the house, newsstand, and finding people through connections, it's almost 100,000."
"How much, one hundred thousand?"
Li Congping exclaimed in disbelief: "You stinky boy, I think you are really crazy. One hundred thousand yuan can buy several houses here, but you rent a house and set up a newsstand. I think you stinky boy is really crazy."
Looking for a fight."
Zhou Zhiming's chest was also rising and falling. The couple lived frugally and had never saved more than 10,000 yuan in their lives. He couldn't even think about the concept of 100,000 yuan.
But his son is good. He has spent all his time and money. If he were not his biological son, he would really kill someone now.
Zhou Chen had already anticipated his parents' reaction and was not panicked at all.
"Dad, Mom, listen to me, I had a girlfriend at school."
The couple's expressions stopped for a moment, and Li Congping asked eagerly: "Have you dated a girlfriend? How old is she, what is her personality like, are she a classmate of yours? Where do you live, what's the situation at home..."
