Zhou Chen has watched a lot of TV movies. To be honest, the male protagonists in most TV series have more or less problems with their character and outlook, especially in modern urban dramas.
But Chen Jianghe, the male protagonist in the TV series Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky, is definitely a very good male protagonist with very upright views.
At least in this TV series, the character who can be compared to him is probably Qiu Yingjie.
Qiu Yingjie is outstanding not only because he has a righteous outlook on life, but also because he has been educated since he was a child and has gone to college. He is an ambitious person with ideals.
But Chen Jianghe is different. He has been an abandoned child since he was a child. He was adopted and did not go to school much. His future achievements are not only due to the help of noble people, but also his own ability.
Zhou Chen rates himself as a relatively selfish person.
But even if he is selfish, it does not prevent him from appreciating talents like Chen Jianghe.
"Jiang He, your brother understands the economics I just told you better than I do. He answered many of my questions for me. If you want to understand or want to know something, you can ask your brother now."
Qiu Yingjie had just talked a lot with Chen Jianghe outside. Especially when he talked about economics, Chen Jianghe was particularly serious and kept asking him for advice.
In front of Zhou Chen, he felt like a student, so he was able to teach Chen Jianghe, and Chen Jianghe was willing to listen to him. He felt very happy to hear what he said.
Zhou Chen said humbly: "Yingjie, don't flatter me. I just read a few more books than you. You are more sincere than me in this regard. It will only be a matter of time before you surpass me."
Qiu Yingjie smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, I think you are too modest. You are so powerful. I will never be able to surpass you in this life. I will often ask you for advice in the future."
"You."
Qiu Yingjie may not have Chen Jianghe's tricks in his head, but his mouth is definitely no worse than Chen Jianghe's in the TV series. Zhou Chen has learned this lesson many times, and he always praises people.
Chen Jianghe smiled a little cautiously: "Second brother, I'm really interested in the economics that Brother Qiu just told me about. Can you tell me about it?"
Of course Zhou Chen would not refuse: "Okay, tell me what you want to hear and what you want to know, and I can analyze it for you."
Chen Jianghe scratched his head. He wanted to ask for advice too much, but when he was asked to describe it, he really didn't know how to say it.
Zhou Chen saw his dilemma, so he smiled and said: "Well, let me tell you from the basics first, let's take the chicken feathers for sugar in our hometown as an example. Don't underestimate this chicken feathers for sugar.
In fact, it is also a situation of economic development, which can effectively promote regional economy and development..."
He spoke seriously, and Chen Jianghe and Qiu Yingjie also listened carefully.
From exchanging chicken feathers for sugar, to exchanging goods for things, current economic development, future economic development models, etc., Zhou Chen did not hide his secrets, and even briefly mentioned some advanced models to them.
Chen Jianghe had a low level of education and didn't understand much about what he heard, but he was very serious and wrote down everything Zhou Chen said, preparing to think about it later.
After all, Qiu Yingjie had gone to college for one year and had a solid foundation and could understand a lot. However, as Zhou Chen talked more and more, he also frowned and couldn't understand many of them.
One person said it, and two people listened and memorized it. Time passed quickly, until the train stopped at a station halfway, and Chen Jianghe suddenly woke up.
"Oh, where has this been?"
Zhou Chen glanced at his watch and said, "More than two hours have passed. I should have passed Dezhou Station long ago."
Chen Jianghe immediately panicked: "Why did you run so far? What should I do? I have to change cars and go back later."
Zhou Chen held his shoulders and advised: "Don't worry, Ji Feo, I think you might as well go to the capital with us first, visit your brother and I, and see the prosperity of the capital."
"Ah? It's not a good idea to go to the capital. I'm a gangster now, and the capital will definitely investigate closely. I'd better not cause any trouble to you."
Chen Jianghe's household registration was in the household registration of Chen Jinshui's family, but because he committed the crime and ran away, he thought he had become a gangster. In fact, this was not the case. Chen Jinshui was responsible for the crime, and he did not become a gangster.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "It's okay, your brother and I have been in chaos in the capital for more than a year after all. This little thing is nothing. You can follow me later. If someone checks, Yingjie and I's college student status is enough to help you."
Solve the problem."
Even in the capital, college students are very respected, not to mention that Zhou Chen is still a college student at Peking University. A Peking University student ID card may not be able to do anything big, but it can still handle some small things and solve some minor troubles.
"Can it be done?"
Chen Jianghe was uneasy. He actually wanted to go to the capital to learn more, but he knew his own situation and didn't want to cause trouble to Zhou Chen.
"Of course, I'll give you a replacement ticket later, so you won't have to worry about people checking you when you get off the bus. You can just stay in peace now."
Chen Jianghe is a very good person with great potential. Now that he has met him, Zhou Chen wants to train him.
Qiu Yingjie smiled and said: "Jiang He, just listen to Brother Zhou, he is much more capable than us."
Since returning to his hometown last time and meeting Zhou Chen on the train, Qiu Yingjie was quickly impressed by Zhou Chen and now seems to regard Zhou Chen as his half-brother.
"That's good, but there's no need to pay for the fare. I often take trains and I'm pretty good at evading fares."
Seeing Chen Jianghe's slightly proud expression when he talked about fare evasion, Zhou Chen thought it was funny, good guy, he was so proud of his fare evasion.
"Forget about fare evasion, we don't need that little money, so you don't have to worry about it. I'll help you pay for it later."
"No, second brother, how can I make you spend money? I'd better buy it myself."
The ticket to the capital is not cheap, but Chen Jianghe still has the guts and is not willing to let Zhou Chen pay for it.
Zhou Chen lectured with a dissatisfied look on his face: "I'm your brother, I bought you a ticket, and you pushed me back and forth."
Chen Jianghe was laughed at by Zhou Chen, and in the end he could only obey Zhou Chen and let Zhou Chen buy the ticket for him.
More than ten hours passed quickly. The three of them were in the same box, sleeping together, eating together, and there were always endless topics to talk about.
After the train arrived at Capital Station, Zhou Chen and the other three got off the train with their luggage. Because Chen Jianghe only brought a few things on the train, and they were almost sold out when they got on the train, so they got off empty-handed. He was very diligent.
snatched Zhou Chen's suitcase.
After getting off the car, Chen Jianghe was obviously very nervous. Zhou Chen smiled and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, Ji Feo. The more nervous you are, the more likely you are to be suspected in the near future. On the contrary, if you act calmly and magnanimously, it won't be easy."
It would arouse suspicion."
"I know, second brother."
Having said that, Chen Jianghe still felt a little nervous after taking a breath, but he was much better than before.
He walked out of the train station very smoothly, and then Zhou Chen called for a very period-style tricycle. It was the kind of tricycle that could carry people on the back. It was somewhat similar to the electric tricycles of later generations. If it was crowded, it would not be a problem to seat five or six people.
.
When Chen Jianghe and Qiu Yingjie heard the price, they didn't want to sit down.
"Brother Zhou, let's take the bus. It's just a matter of walking a few more steps."
"Yes, second brother, take the bus. It's too expensive."
But Zhou Chen didn't say anything, just returned the price, paid the money, and got in the car. The two of them had no choice but to get in the car.
There are buses these days, but in fact the riding experience of buses is not much different from that of tricycles.
He preferred to take a tricycle because it could take them directly to his door. If he took the bus, he would still have to walk some distance.
"Second brother, Brother Qiu, it's so expensive to take a bus in this capital. The cost of the bus is enough for us to go around the county town."
It was the first time he spent money in the capital. Although it was not his own money, Chen Jianghe was still a little frightened. This trip was worth the money he had earned in several days.
Qiu Yingjie said: "Consumption in the capital is not low, but you can't use your second brother as a standard. He spends money lavishly."
Because they were familiar with each other, he also started teasing Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen shrugged and said: "It's just different values. You two just haven't changed yet. If you stay here for a long time and make money, you will slowly change."
He dares to spend money like this because he has a solid foundation and is not afraid that he will not be able to earn back the money he spends.
But Chen Jianghe and Qiu Yingjie are different at this stage. They are both poor and spend every penny they have. How can they spend it as freely as Zhou Chen does.
The speed of tricycles is not very fast, but fortunately there are not many vehicles in the capital today, so there is no need to worry about traffic jams.
Soon, they arrived at their destination and stopped at the door of the courtyard of a two-story foreign-style building.
"Second brother, is this the house you rent? What a beautiful house." Chen Jianghe looked at it and said in surprise.
Western-style buildings like this are extremely rare in Yiwu, at least he hasn't seen many of them.
Qiu Yingjie asked: "The rent for such a house must not be cheap, right?"
Zhou Chen explained with a smile: "It's not as exaggerated as you think. I just rented the second floor. This small western-style building is the house of a pair of retired leaders. Their children were not around, so they rented the second floor to me.
The two old men were very kind, and they didn't charge me much money."
With that said, he knocked on the door.
"Uncle Zhu, it's me, Xiao Zhou, open the door."
Because they lived in the same courtyard, Zhou Chen left all the keys with the old couple when he left.
Not long after, the door was opened, and an old man holding a banana fan appeared in front of the three of them.
"Haha, I told the old lady this morning that the summer vacation is coming to an end, and your son should be here soon."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Uncle Zhu, it seems that you always miss me. Where is auntie, are you cooking?"
"No, I went out for a walk."
"Then why didn't you go?"
"My legs have been feeling a little uncomfortable these past two days and I'm too lazy to move. Please help me take a look at them when you are free."
"No problem. I'll check it out for you after I put down my things. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Since Uncle Zhu could still walk, it wasn't a big problem, so he wasn't too anxious and instead introduced Chen Jianghe and Qiu Yingjie to Uncle Zhu.
"Uncle Zhu, these two came from my hometown with me. They are both my younger brothers. This is Qiu Yingjie, who is also studying in the capital. This is Chen Jianghe. I brought him to the capital to gain experience."
Qiu Yingjie and Chen Jianghe both called out respectfully: "Hello, sir."
When Uncle Zhu heard that it was Zhou Chen's younger brother, he stopped being wary. Zhou Chen had been renting their house for more than a year, and he still trusted Zhou Chen's character very much.
This year, Zhou Chen has helped them a lot. Usually, the old couple is a little uncomfortable, and Zhou Chen helps with medical treatment and care, and they will recover quickly. If there is any problem at home, such as the TV is broken, or there is a problem with the circuit.
, they don’t need to find anyone else, Zhou Chen can help them solve it.
So the old couple were very satisfied with Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen didn't insist on giving money, they wouldn't want to take a penny from Zhou Chen.
Although Zhou Chen has nothing to do with them, they feel that their family is much more popular than in past years when Zhou Chen is around.
"Young man, come in."
Zhou Chen led the two of them into the courtyard, spoke to Uncle Zhu, and then led them upstairs.
There are three rooms upstairs and a small living room, which are kept spotless.
Zhou Chen knew that the aunt downstairs must have cleaned this. Although the old couple had a nanny, the nanny only did cooking and washing clothes. Since the upstairs was rented to him, the nanny has never come to clean it. Zhou Chen usually does it.
Chen cleans by himself, and occasionally Aunt Zhu comes up to help him clean.
In fact, it was a coincidence that Zhou Chen was able to rent this place. Uncle Zhu and his wife had not planned to rent a house, but when he came to look for a house that day, he met Uncle Zhu and asked about the situation. The two chatted for a long time.
Then Uncle Zhu had to drag him to rent his own house. Of course Zhou Chen was satisfied after seeing it, so he rented it.
Only after he got acquainted with Uncle Zhu and his wife did he learn about their situation.
It turned out that their leader had retired for some years. They also had a son, but he went abroad more than ten years ago and did not come back for many years. He only wrote letters occasionally to report that he was safe.
Just two years ago, when the domestic situation was stable, their overseas son came back with his wife and children, hoping to take the old couple to live abroad.
It's just that the old couple were unwilling to leave their homeland even to death. In the end, their son had no choice but to leave his parents behind and return abroad with his wife and children.
Therefore, only the old couple lived in this house. Their son might not be able to come back for a few years, so he rented the upstairs to Zhou Chen.
"Second brother, this house is too big and beautiful, isn't it?"
Chen Jianghe had never seen such a beautiful house before. When he encountered those mansions before, he could only take a look at them from the outside, but never went in.
This house is the largest and best house he has ever seen.
Even Qiu Yingjie, who has seen the world, was amazed, thinking about how much it would cost to rent such a house in the capital.
"Let's have a good drink here tonight. Don't leave after drinking. Just stay here. The place is enough anyway. Especially you, Yingjie, you are not allowed to leave."
Chen Jianghe had nowhere to go in the capital, and it was inconvenient to go out and live. He could only live here with Zhou Chen. Qiu Yingjie could go back to the school dormitory directly.
"Yes, Brother Qiu, let's not get drunk tonight." Chen Jianghe also persuaded happily.
Qiu Yingjie smiled: "No problem, then I won't be polite to you, Brother Zhou."
"No matter how polite you are, we are all good friends and good brothers. If you are too polite, you will get angry."
