In the evening, Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli leaned on the bedside and read books together.
"Simei came to see me today and wanted me to help her boyfriend Qi Chenggang find a job in Chenxing. I didn't agree to her promise and left angrily."
Qiao Sanli told Zhou Chen what happened today.
Zhou Chen asked: "Why don't you help her? I think you three brothers and sisters dote on her very much."
Qiao Sanli said: "It's because we were so used to her that she has become so lawless now. Look at that Qi Chenggang, what kind of man is he? As long as he is normal and nice to Si, I won't Reject directly."
A large part of the reason why she rejected Qiao Simei was that Qi Chenggang didn't look like a good person. He was a tall man, but he ate and drank Qiao Simei's food. He even lived in Qiao's house. There were several How could a man be so cowardly?
Zhou Chen laughed a few times and said: "Our wife still has good taste. That Qi Chenggang is indeed not a good person. Your elder brother told me and asked his friends to investigate. This Qi Chenggang was indeed fired by the army. And what he committed was that he had sex with a local woman and got pregnant, so he was kicked out of the army."
"What?"
Qiao Sanli was very shocked: "Didn't Simei say that they have been dating for a long time? When he was in love with Simei, he made another woman pregnant?"
"right."
"I just said that he is not a good person. I don't know what's wrong with Qiao Simei's eyes. Why do I find so many people like this? No, I have to tell Simei."
Zhou Chen said: "You don't need to tell me, your eldest brother will definitely find Simei, but I think Simei will choose to forgive him, and you can't persuade her at all."
Qiao Sanli's face was ugly. She felt that Zhou Chen was right. What happened to Shaoyang before was a lesson to the past. Shaoyang was already like that, but Qiao Simei still refused to repent and even made a big fuss with them.
Will she listen to Qi Chenggang's advice this time?
of course not.
When Qiao Simei went to see Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Yicheng told Qiao Simei about this.
He originally thought that Qiao Simei would be angry when she heard the news and break up with Qi Chenggang.
But to his expectation, Qiao Simei was really angry after hearing this, but she turned around and was coaxed by Qi Chenggang, and asked him to help find a job for Qi Chenggang.
Several months passed in the blink of an eye.
In recent days, the Zhou family has been very festive. Zhou Jianguo and Han Huifang went to Zhou Chen's residence to visit Qiao Sanli every now and then.
It turns out that not long ago, Qiao Sanli was pregnant. As the first child of the Zhou family, the Zhou family was naturally overjoyed.
The Zhou couple are both in their early sixties and entering their old age. Years of busy work have gradually made them want to retire.
If Zhou Chen hadn't been unwilling to take over, they would have handed over the group company to Zhou Chen.
To them, the current huge group company is not as important as their grandson.
So after learning that Qiao Sanli was pregnant, the couple was several times happier than Qiao Sanli. They called her every day and delivered various supplements and nutrients in person.
Even though Zhou Chen repeatedly emphasized to them that he was a medical student and knew how to take care of pregnant women, he still couldn't stop their enthusiasm.
As soon as Qiao Sanli became pregnant, she immediately became the most watched person in Zhou Qiao's family. Even Qiao Zuwang often came to visit. Of course, he took a lot of 'specialties' with him when he left.
According to the wishes of the Zhou family, Qiao Sanli is pregnant and should not work for the time being, but Zhou Chen refuses, saying that you cannot remain inactive during pregnancy. It is also good to move around and work appropriately and will not affect the pregnant woman and the fetus.
In the end, the Zhou couple felt that their daughter-in-law's job was easier, so they agreed, and Qiao Sanli continued to work.
July 1, 1997!
This day is a very important day for the people across the country, and it is destined to go down in history.
Hong Kong Island, which has been colonized for more than 150 years, has finally returned to the embrace of the motherland. The return of Hong Kong Island also means the rise of China as a great power.
On this day, China became the focus of the world.
On this day, Zhou Chen's family of three were sitting in front of the TV, with Qiao Sanli holding a little guy in her arms.
Although this was not the first time he witnessed this moment, Zhou Chen was still full of passion at this moment, like a red buff, his upper body was on fire.
"Hong Kong Island has returned, and next is Macao Island."
Hearing Zhou Chen's muttering, Qiao Sanli asked curiously: "Husband, are you saying that Ao Island is also coming back?"
Zhou Chen replied confidently: "Yes, soon, within the next two or three years."
Although he knew when Australia Island would return, he naturally couldn't say it.
"Mom, I want to watch cartoons."
The little guy in Qiao Sanli's arms raised his head, pointed at the TV and said.
Qiao Sanli said dotingly: "Okay, mom will adjust it for you right now."
The little guy is the son of Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli. He is more than two years old this year. His famous name is Zhou Huaixi and his nickname is Little Apple.
Zhou Huaixi was a name chosen by someone from the Zhou family. As the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, the old couple attached great importance to the name. Even the name was given special importance.
In order to choose a name, they also specially found the most famous naming master in Jinling. The person who named him said that the five elements were short of water, and then made various searches and calculations, and finally chose such a name.
Zhou Chen thought this name was weird and a bit feminine, but the old couple were adamant that they must be called this name.
Qiao Sanli didn't have any objections to the name. When she saw that her father-in-law and mother-in-law valued her son so much, she was overjoyed and helped persuade Zhou Chen to agree.
The reason why he was nicknamed Little Apple was because one time Qiao Yicheng saw that he was round and round, so he joked that he looked like a little apple.
Qiao Sanli thought it was quite interesting, so Zhou Huaixi's nickname was Little Apple.
Zhou Chen doesn't care about nicknames, as long as Qiao Sanli likes them.
Zhou Chen has experienced so many film and television worlds and given birth to many children, but to be honest, Little Apple is definitely the most naughty and mischievous of all his children.
Even though he is only over two years old, he is extremely skinny because of the love and affection from his grandparents and a large group of relatives and friends.
Although Zhou Chen is good at educating children, in most cases, the Zhou family does not allow him to harm their children, let alone beat them.
Although Little Apple is skinny, he is really smart and knows very well who treats him best in the family, so every time he makes a mistake, he always runs to his grandparents.
Even though Zhou Chen has lived for so many years, he still has disagreements with his elders when it comes to educating children, and has even argued several times.
His parents, who used to be very unfavorable to him, immediately shifted their attention to Little Apple after he was born, and he could only come second.
Fortunately, Zhou Chen couldn't control it, but Qiao Sanli could.
The Zhou couple can scold Zhou Chen a few times, but they won't do that to their daughter-in-law. Every time Qiao Sanli educates her son, they will stand by and worry. When they are powerful, they will say a few words, but they won't.
Too intense.
Just because they had one more child, the old couple couldn't bear to leave their grandson, so the family had to move and bought a villa nearby. Now the whole family lives in the villa.
Qiao Sanli tuned a cartoon for her son. It is now 1997, and the cartoon played is relatively retro, and it is the famous Calabash Baby.
Zhou Chen was also deeply impressed by this cartoon. Even when he was a child in the real world, he often watched this cartoon.
Calabash baby, Calabash baby, seven flowers on a vine, not afraid of wind or rain, blah blah blah...
In this era, let alone children, even adults can watch it with gusto.
While Little Apple was watching TV, Zhou Chen asked Qiao Sanli: "Have you encountered any problems at work recently?"
Since weaning, Qiao Sanli has returned to work at Chenxing, but she is no longer a small employee, but has become a manager.
After two years, she has reached the position of deputy manager of the financial department. This is inseparable from her hard work, but it is also inseparable from her identity.
Qiao Sanli frowned and said: "There are too many ways to deal with the financial department. I have only been here a few months, and there are still many things that I haven't figured out yet. It still takes time."
She was not in the finance department before, but was transferred to the finance department just a few months ago. This was also what the Zhou family meant.
Chenxing Group is now one of the largest companies in Jinling, and the financial department is the top priority. The Zhou family and his wife are ready to hand over the power to Qiao Sanli, so they let Qiao Sanli learn and work in various departments so that she can control the group in the future.
You don't need to be proficient in any department, but you must at least be familiar with the process. Otherwise, you will become the general manager rashly and look at all departments with a disdain. This will not be able to lead everyone.
Seeing Qiao Sanli's troubled look, Zhou Chen smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, take your time, my parents can still see you for a few years, and I will help you."
Qiao Sanli rolled her eyes at him: "You are so powerful yourself, but you don't manage it, and you insist on asking me to do it. As a result, I don't even have much time to spend with Little Apple."
"Those who are capable should work harder. I am also very busy. The medical field cannot afford to leave me out."
"See what you can do."
Qiao Sanli snorted angrily.
She just complained casually. In fact, she was very grateful to Zhou Chen's family for their trust. Chenxing had such a big industry and let her take over if they asked her to take over. Treating her as a daughter-in-law is better than treating her biological daughter.
"Yesterday, my eldest brother called me and told me that Xiaojin's fourth birthday would be in a few days and that we should come over for dinner. The second strong, fourth beautiful, and cousin will all be there."
"In the blink of an eye, Xiao Jin is already four years old."
"You can take the time to buy Xiaojin a birthday gift tomorrow."
"Okay, I get it."
"Don't buy something that is too expensive. My eldest brother also knows that if you buy something that is too expensive, he will definitely not accept it. After so many years, this problem has not changed at all. Even the brothers and sisters can tell the difference so clearly."
"Don't worry when I do things. Your eldest brother, even in his seventies or eighties, is probably still stubborn. If he changes, he won't be Qiao Yicheng. By the way, Qi Weimin's daughter is about to be one year old, and she doesn't know them.
There is no banquet at home."
"You'll know when you ask."
Three years later, Qi Weimin was also transferred from the lower towns to the city and now works in the Propaganda Department.
Two years ago, Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu held their wedding. Now they have a daughter, and they can be called happy.
"besides."
Qiao Sanli hesitated for a moment and then said: "Simei and Qi Chenggang will also go there by then. Please be patient and leave them alone."
"They don't mess with me, I'm too lazy to pay attention to them."
Zhou Chen looked disdainful. In the past two years, there was a lot of commotion because of the marriage between Qiao Simei and Qi Chenggang, and he was very unhappy with the Qiao family. Later, he went to Zhou Chen twice because of work reasons.
Parted unhappy.
A few days later, after Zhou Chen got off work, he called Qiao Qiqi and drove to Qi Weimin's workplace.
Qiao Qiqi has been with Zhou Chen for almost four years, and is now twenty years old. He has learned a lot of medical knowledge in these four years. Now he is studying with the undergraduate class of the medical school. In the future, he will also have the opportunity to rely on special skills.
Enroll and get a bachelor's degree.
Because of this incident, Qi Weimin thanked Zhou Chen a lot and invited him to dinner several times, saying that Zhou Chen gave Qiao Qiqi a bright future.
It was precisely because of following Zhou Chen that Qiao Qiqi was not harmed by a scumbag like in the TV series.
"Qiqi, I went to your eldest brother's house today to celebrate your little niece's birthday. Did you buy any gifts?"
Qiao Qiqi was sitting in the back row and said sheepishly: "I bought it, but I don't know if Xiao Jin likes it or not."
"She will definitely like it. That kid Xiaojin is very lively."
It's strange to say that Wen Ju'an's mother was very strict with Wen Ju'an from childhood to adulthood, but she was very doting on her granddaughter Wen Jin, more so than Qiao Yicheng and Wen Ju'an combined.
As a result, Wen Jin has been very lively and active since he was a child, unlike Wen Ju'an and Qiao Yicheng who have dull personalities.
Soon, Zhou Chen arrived at Qi Weimin's workplace and stopped there waiting for Qi Weimin to come out.
Qiao Sanli drove Little Apple to pick up Chang Xingyu and her daughter at home, while he came to pick up Qi Weimin. The division of labor was clear.
Zhou Chen and Qiao Qiqi were sitting in the car. Qiao Qiqi was lying on the car window, looking at the door of the building not far away.
"Brother, brother is out."
Hearing Qiao Qiqi's cheers, Zhou Chen also looked up, and in the next moment, he cursed.
"Damn it, isn't it? It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Qi Weimin walked out of the building with his colleagues. The colleague next to him was Xiang Nanfang, a young female cadre who had been transferred recently. She was a few years younger than him and was already the deputy director of the office of the Propaganda Department. She had a bright future.
According to gossip, this female cadre named Xiang Nanfang, her father seemed to have been a high-ranking cadre in the province, so she was able to hold a high position at a young age.
We are all from Jinling, not far apart, and we are in the same department, and he is still his leader, so after getting to know each other, our relationship is relatively close.
Before getting off work today, he happened to have some information to give to her. After sending it to her, the two of them got off work together and walked out of the office building.
"Qi Weimin, I think the proposal you told me last time is good. How about having a casual dinner together and discussing it while eating?"
Qi Weimin smiled and refused: "I'm sorry, I have an appointment today. My brother's niece has her birthday and she asked our family to come over for dinner. Maybe we can talk about it at work tomorrow."
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. How do you leave?"
"Someone is coming to pick me up, right there."
Qi Weimin looked around and saw Zhou Chen's Crown, so he pointed over there and said.
Xiang Nanfang didn't pay attention. He glanced in the direction of Qi Weimin's finger and found that it was a Crown car. Then he couldn't help but look at the license plate.
Seeing this, Xiang Nanfang was stunned for a moment.
Qi Weimin saw Xiang Nanfang staring blankly at Zhou Chen's car, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
Xiang Nannan came to his senses and asked, "Is the owner of this car your friend?"
Qi Weimin smiled and said: "Not only is he my friend, he is also my cousin-in-law."
Xiang Nanfang's beautiful big eyes flickered a few times, and then he asked: "Could your cousin-in-law be called Zhou Chen?"
Now it was Qi Weimin's turn to be surprised. He asked in surprise: "Do you know Zhou Chen?"
Xiang Nanfang showed a complicated expression and said with a smile: "We know each other, and we are very familiar with each other. We are classmates in middle school."
Qi Weimin had no doubt that he was there and said happily: "That's so fateful. You and Zhou Chen are actually classmates. This world is too small."
"I haven't seen him for several years."
"Now that we have met, let's go over together and meet him."
Qi Weimin said enthusiastically, Xiang Nanfang nodded, and then walked towards Zhou Chen's crown.
