This day on the second day of the Lunar New Year seems to be particularly long.
The Zhou family members who went out to meet each other did not return home until the next evening. Seeing the smiles on Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua's faces, it seemed that the meeting turned out well.
Zhou Chen was not surprised by this result, because this time he was going to Hao's house to meet, so there was no need to worry about any accidents.
Judging from the performances of Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua, we know that Jin Yueji showed enough respect this time, and may even have said a lot of nice things.
Zhou Chen had to sigh, this old lady's methods were indeed powerful. Zhou Zhigang, Li Suhua, and even Zhou Rong and the others were probably not enough to be plotted by one person alone, and they were easily manipulated.
Although he felt unhappy, he had no intention of ruining his parents' good mood, as long as they were happy.
But the little guy Zhou Cong was dragged by Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen and refused to let him come back no matter what. Finally, they discussed with Zhou Zhigang and said that they would let Zhou Cong spend the night at their place and they would send him over tomorrow morning.
Zhou Zhigang thought about it for a while, it was just across the street anyway, and the two of them were the godfather and the godmother, so there was nothing wrong with staying one night, so he let Zhou Cong stay at Lao Ma's house. This made the old couple extremely happy, and they gave Zhou Cong the night.
Cong made a big table of delicious food.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, not long after Zhou Chen had breakfast, he took Zheng Juan out and prepared to go to Xiao Guoqing's newly bought house.
"The house I bought during the National Day is not far from the optical film?"
He was already preparing to become a businessman, so Zhou Chen was naturally not prepared to be too low-key. How could he ride a bicycle if he could ride in a car.
He and Zhou Chen were sitting in the back row, and Zheng Juan curiously asked Xiao Guoqing about their current situation.
"Yes, the new house they bought is not far from Guangzi Film. It is somewhat similar to the house we had before, except for the location and area."
Although it is already 1988, Jichun is still relatively poor. There are not many established communities, and most of them are still brick houses, bungalows and the like.
The house that Xiao Guoqing and his wife bought also has three bedrooms, but it is not as large as their previous house and does not have such a big yard. It is a row of bungalows with a small cement floor in front of the house.
The car Zhou Chen was riding in was an imported Mercedes-Benz and a new car. It was really very luxurious in this era.
So when their car drove to the door of Xiao Guoqing's house, it attracted countless eyes. As the hosts, Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian hurriedly came out to greet them.
When they saw Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan getting out of the back seat of the car, they were confused.
"Kun'er, Juan'er?"
Zheng Juan smoothed her broken hair behind her ears and asked with a smile: "What, don't we know each other?"
After Wu Qian confirmed that it was Zheng Juan, she immediately came over and grabbed Zheng Juan's hands, looking up and down, left and right.
"What is this car?"
Zheng Juan replied casually: "It's a car from Bingkun Company."
Wu Qian became even more confused: "I heard from Guo Qing that Bingkun resigned from his job at Yanjing Hospital and was preparing to return to Jichun for development. Has he found a job again?"
Zheng Juan didn't know how to explain it, so she could only say: "That's right."
Xiao Guoqing faced Zhou Chen and looked at the Mercedes-Benz with bright eyes.
"Kun'er, does this car belong to you? It's so handsome."
He is more receptive than Wu Qian, because he knows that Zhou Chen has bought a house in Yanjing, and his current boss Shui Ziliu is worth at least hundreds of thousands, but Shui Ziliu is still very respectful to Zhou Chen, so he is more or less
I still know that Zhou Chen is unusual.
"The company car hasn't come yet to catch up?"
"It's probably coming soon, let's go in and sit down first."
Zhou Chen told the driver to pick him up in the afternoon, and then asked him to drive away.
Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan followed Xiao Guoqing and his wife into the house. After looking around, Zhou Chen praised: "This house is nice, National Day. How much did it cost to buy it?"
Wu Qian rushed to say: "It cost two thousand yuan. If you ask me, it's all because of the National Day. If he had made the decision earlier, he could have bought it in his early one thousand. But after two or three years, it almost doubled."
"
Jichun's housing prices have not changed for many years, but Hao Gaoguan's rapid economic development in the last two or three years has also caused a series of effects. In the following years, Jichun's housing prices have experienced breakthrough growth.
Zheng Juan said: "It's really good."
Wu Qian said with a smile: "For people like us, having a house like this is enough to satisfy us. It is definitely incomparable to you."
Xiao Guoqing was afraid that Wu Qian's words would cause dissatisfaction between Zhou and Chen, so he immediately scolded: "You bitch, you don't even have a finger in your mouth. If you don't know how to speak, just say a few words."
Wu Qian was a little unhappy, but she didn't fight back. This surprised Zhou Chen. This was different from before.
You must know that in the past, this woman would fight anyone she caught. If Xiao Guoqing scolded her, he would definitely scold her back, and even scold her in a very unpleasant way.
But today, Wu Qian didn't fight back, which also illustrates a problem.
The more capable a man is, the gentler a woman will be. For those men who are incompetent, their wives will most likely be very tough.
One is strong and the other is weak, which is how most couples get along.
After the four people sat down, Wu Qian curiously asked Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, I just heard Juan'er say that you found another job, and the car just now was assigned to you? What kind of job did you find?
Will I give you such a good car when you come back?"
Zhou Chen replied calmly: "I am the manager of a foreign-funded company, and the car only belongs to the company, not to me personally."
Before arriving, he had already negotiated with Zheng Juan. In fact, he also said hello to his parents, telling them not to show off to avoid being remembered.
Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua both came from poor times. After living for so many years, they have seen too many things like the human heart.
So they very much agreed with Zhou Chen's words. Even if Zhou Chen didn't mention it to them, they all wanted to remind Zhou Chen and ask him not to keep a high profile.
After Wu Qian heard this, she felt relieved. Life in his family was getting better now, which made her feel proud and proud.
It's not that she can't see the good in others, it's just that they are just getting along. If Zhou Chen and the others become better, she will always feel a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Guoqing was honest, but he still knew very well about the entanglements in his woman's heart, so he glared at Wu Qian fiercely.
Sometimes he really couldn't understand what this woman was thinking.
In the past, when everyone had no money, they started complaining. Now that they have money, they still complain and worry that others are living a better life than themselves.
Sometimes he would compare himself to others, but mostly it was vanity that caused the trouble, and he never had any bad thoughts.
"Kun'er, you found a new job and will you stay in Jichun from now on?" Xiao Guoqing asked curiously.
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "No, my main job is not in Jichun, but also in Pengcheng. The details have not been decided yet."
The current situation in Jichun is destined to be impossible to become his main investment place. Beijing and Shanghai Yangpeng is the main target, but so far, the focus is still on Pengcheng.
"oh."
Xiao Guoqing was not surprised. He had gained a lot of knowledge by driving all over the country over the years. For Ji Chun, they still wanted to make a living, but the possibility of making big money was too low.
If you want to make big money, you really have to go to a big city.
The four of them chatted for a while, then they heard the car bell ringing outside, and Sun Ganchao and Yu Hong arrived.
"Kun'er." "Catch up, long time no see."
Zhou Chen and Sun Qianchao gave each other a big hug. They hadn’t seen each other for five years. Zhou Chen could hardly see any changes, but Sun Qianchao seemed to be ten years older. His waist could not be straightened, and the lines on his forehead had changed.
The more and deeper I got, the more cheerful and generous I was before, and I became a little timid.
When everyone arrived, the three women went to work in the kitchen, while Zhou Chen and the other two sat on the sofa chatting.
Sun Qianchao was half lying on the sofa and praised sincerely: "On National Day, your place is spacious and comfortable. Between the three of us, Kun'er was the first to get rich. Now you are better too, and I am the only one left. You can still live better."
Yue went back."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Chen and Xiao Guoqing to speak, he said to Zhou Chen with a regretful tone: "Kun'er, I really regret not listening to your opinion and insisting on guarding that shabby lumber factory. If I had listened
Yours will not end up like this."
"Kun'er, you may not know that I am squatting on the street every day to pick up odd jobs, doing hard labor, and go wherever there is work."
"Catching up."
"Kun'er, listen to me. When I tell you this, I'm not complaining, but telling the truth. I really regret it. We are the best little brothers. I just didn't listen to you at the beginning.
, that it becomes what it is now.”
"In the past two years, I have finally figured out that people can be incompetent, but they must have eyes. I am the kind of person who has neither ability nor eyes."
What Sun Qianchao said was that he was beating his chest and his face was full of remorse. Normally he could still keep a good face and pretend not to care.
But during the Chinese New Year, he felt uncomfortable when he saw other people wearing new clothes, eating meat and drinking wine. Their family didn't even have money to buy new clothes for their children, and they still lived in other people's houses.
As long as you can make your wife and children live well, and let your family live well, face is nothing.
