Chapter 397 The Great Era Has Come

In the house where Qiao Chunyan was divided, three women, Qiao Chunyan, Wu Qian, and Yu Hong, were choosing and cooking in the kitchen, talking about the odds and ends of their lives, while the three men in the back room were talking about trivial matters.

Cao Debao blew out the smoke and asked the two people on the side: "Hey, do you know what Kun'er has been doing in the past six months?"

Sun Ganchao shook his head and said, "What you are asking is superfluous. Then you two are working in the same factory. You don't even know. Where do we go to work in the lumber factory?"

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for half a year. On the 29th, he went to my house and brought some things." Xiao Guoqing said, "He will be here in a while. You can ask him yourself and it's over."

"Can he tell us? His eldest brother is the leader's son-in-law, and his cousin is a famous miracle doctor in the Northeast. He has old connections. Do you think he can tell us what he did?" Cao Debao sighed: "Now we are here The Six Little Gentlemen are getting farther and farther away. Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan are both college students. I don’t know if they will come back for the New Year, and I don’t know if they are back. Bingkun, there are people in his family who are not on the same level as us. Yes. I estimate that in two years, there will only be three of us left."

"What are you talking about? Bingkun has been good to us these years, right?" Xiao Guoqing said: "In which year did he not bring us something? Can we afford it? Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan will not talk about it. Bingkun is not sorry for you, is he? Are you thinking about Bingkun like this?”

"No, I just said that, why are you anxious? Yes, he gives us things every year, but he has a lot of those things at home, and we treat them like treasures, and he doesn't care. It's not like you haven't been there before His house, that pile of stuff.”

Sun Qianchao nodded: "I understand, you are jealous. Bingkun was good to us, but he was also wrong."

"Is it wrong to be nice to you?"

Without waiting for Cao Debao to defend himself, Zhou Bingkun walked in carrying his things with a smile.

"Brother, you're here, come in, come in." Qiao Chunyan, who was busy in the kitchen, hurried out, took the things in his hands and went inside: "I haven't seen you for half a year, what are you busy with?" , she winked at Cao Debao and the other three, telling them not to say useless things.

"What can I do? I'm just running errands for my brother Yan." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile, "The dishes haven't been prepared yet?"

"Come on, come on, you gentlemen, just drink the peanuts. You'll be ready soon." After that, Qiao Chunyan greeted Wu Qian and Yu Hong to go back and continue cooking.

Xiao Guoqing had already opened the cigarettes and wine brought by Zhou Bingkun: "Spear, Hua Zi, oh my, I've been pointing to this meal all year round."

Zhou Bingkun looked at Cao Debao: "What, did you just say that I was wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just haven't contacted you for half a year. There hasn't been any movement at all. Now that I think about it, after telling them two, we will be the only ones left." Cao Debao squeaked in defense, then asked: "It's not you. What have you been doing in the past six months? It’s so mysterious.”

"You didn't say anything about my brother. It's hard to tell." Zhou Bingkun shook his head and said, "I didn't ask before, so let's talk about it. How have you been in the past six months?"

"Then what else can we do? Let's just live like it is, one day at a time."

Zhou Bingkun looked at Cao Debao, who was slightly red in the face, smiled, and turned to talk to Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao.

"Come on, come on, the food is served, the food is served." Qiao Chunyan came out, frying meat with one hand and fish with the other: "Oh, Debao, open the window a little and look at the smog. Brother Gan, Why are you smoking too?"

"Ah, isn't this just a run around? People always give me cigarettes, and I'm too embarrassed not to take them. I'm just starting to smoke them every time I go back and forth. I smoke until now. It's not interesting, but eating and drinking are all. Yes, I still want to get two more."

"Smoking is not good. Just quit if you can. It will hurt your health if you don't spend money." Qiao Chunyan then said, "But it's okay for you to smoke. You don't need money. Brother Wang Yan is a miracle doctor, but it will hurt your health." It can be cured, right?"

Cao Debao waved his hand to interrupt Qiao Chunyan's loud voice: "Okay, stop talking about those useless things and quickly serve the food and get the bowls and chopsticks. I've been drinking this for a long time and it's still burning."

After glaring at him, Qiao Chunyan turned around and went back to serve the food. Although the food on this table is not as rich as the Chinese New Year, it is still pretty good. Although this meal was cooked at Cao Debao's house, the food was also produced by the three of them, and they put together such a table. It was also in the past two years that Qiao Chunyan moved here after dividing her house. She used to stay in state-owned hotels, and Zhou Bingkun always paid for it.

Soon, the dishes were brought to the table, and everyone was eating and drinking in a lively manner. Qiao Chunyan, Wu Qian, and Yu Hong also poured wine. They all had enough energy to drink.

The atmosphere was normal at the beginning, with everyone laughing and talking and saying good things, but it changed later when the alcohol got more intense. Qiao Chunyan began to talk about how difficult it was for her. She went from being the director of a bathhouse to having a pedicure, and how big a gap she felt in her heart. Others advised her that the house was still there and so on.

Wu Qian was blabbering again about all the bad things going on at home, about how Xiao Guoqing's parents were doing, how miserable they were, and how miserable they had been for so many years. Of course Xiao Guoqing couldn't stand those words, and he was still very angry. He rolled up his arms and sleeves and wanted to beat her. Zhou Bingkun has been watching this scene for four years, and he has to fight every time. Taking a detailed look at the days of Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian, that is, the first year of marriage was good, and after that it was daily fighting.

As for Sun Qianchao and Yu Hong, things were not much better. There were many people in the family and the rooms were small, so stumbling was inevitable. But fortunately, there was no chance for Yu Hong to perform, so Xiao Guoqing and his wife were heard arguing.

As for Cao Debao, he was speechless. After all, he was the one who barged in. He used to live in Qiao Chunyan's house, but now he lives in Qiao Chunyan's house. He could never be strong or speak forcefully.

Zhou Bingkun liked the first half of the gathering with friends, but disliked the second half. Although he himself does not have any difficulties, everyone else has difficulties, so why bother talking about them every year. What do you want to do by telling him this? Let him find two good brothers to solve the problem? He doesn't even say anything when he has something to do, let alone people like them. If you want to see a doctor, if you can't get registered and want to jump in line, he can do it. But what else can he do?

If one person's work is solved, other people's work must be solved, so does Qiao Chunyan's work also have to be solved? If you have a good job, do you still have to work hard to allocate houses to them? After dividing the house, do we still have to let them get closer to the factory? And their relatives and friends, wouldn't they also come to see him? If other unrelated people know about it, will they also come to him?

He understands all this when there is no time when people are content. Just like himself, when he first went out to earn 5,000, he wanted to earn 10,000. The second time he earned 10,000, he set his sights on a house as big as Hao Dongmei's house. He didn't know what else he wanted in the future.

He had heard what Cao Debao said. It seemed like it was a matter of course for him to give them things every year, as if he had made the mistake of giving them for free...

So when faced with the complaints from these good friends, he could only deal with it by smoking and drinking with Na Zigu...

"Brother, why do you think this is the case?"

"You know this, why are you asking me?"

Wang Yan brought his wife and children back for dinner, leaving the children here by the way. This little kid has no one to play with at his own home or at his grandma's house. After a few days of neglecting his own mother, he has enough and is clamoring to go to his aunt's house to find a little friend. Wang Yan was too lazy to care about him, so he just saved the time of cooking dinner, and he and Chen Jing were also clean when they returned home.

After dinner again, one of them carried water and the other took out the trash. Zhou Bingkun talked about the party during the day, hoping to find the answer from him.

Zhou Bingkun knew everything about his friends, and he was not stupid. I have gone out twice now and seen a lot of people and things. How could I not see this?

"I also understand that they may indeed be unsatisfied." Zhou Bingkun sighed: "But you said, brother, they are already better than many people. They are not enough to compare with them. They are always more than enough. Why do they always want to follow them? I'm looking for a relationship, and I don't deserve it. And Cao Debao, I made a mistake when I gave him something. He didn't mean what he said, and he thought I gave him too little."

"Everyone has thought about it." Wang Yan said with a smile: "That Cao Debao, think about it, back then you had Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan in the slag discharging workshop. What about now? Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan are in college, and they will definitely be different in the future. No. You have been transferred by Mrs. Qu a long time ago, and now it is even worse. Everyone is gone, but you still have the staff, so how can he not have any ideas?

He won't care that you rode the tricycle for more than an hour at minus 20 degrees in winter and sent Ma Shouchang to the hospital. He won't think that you work more seriously than he does on weekdays. What he was thinking was that Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen would take care of you. You have a brother who is an official and a cousin who is a miracle doctor in the Northeast. What about him? After getting married, he still lived in his mother-in-law's house, relying on the house Qiao Chunyan shared. Even if Qiao Chunyan went to get a pedicure again, he didn't make as much as others. But he will not reflect on himself. He will think that if he had such convenience as you, he would definitely be better off than you. "

"What about National Day and catching up with them?"

"It's good. She never forgets to say hello to me every time she sees me. It's just that the daughter-in-law on National Day is not very good. Listen to what you mean, she always complains about her every day and is too resentful."

"She is still a nice person, but her mouth is like a cotton waistband, and it gets old every day without end. It's because she can't control her mouth, and she fights with the National Day every day. It's always difficult on the National Day."

When Wu Qian first met Xiao Guoqing, she valued her status as a worker and a leader, which was much better than her status as a waiter in a state-owned hotel. But after so many years, my status as a worker has become useless and my life has not been good. Isn’t this a source of resentment? Look at Qiao Chunyan again. She became a director and was assigned a house. Although she was kicked off, the house is still there, and she is envious. She couldn't get up, so she thought about men. If men couldn't do it, she thought about studying Zhou Bingkun. This was normal. After all, whether they want a good job or a house, they can easily do it.

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Zheng Juan is a good woman when it comes to marrying a virtuous wife. In the future, you can't just spend it when you have money. I'm sorry for your insistence back then."

"No, brother, don't you know me yet? I can't do it, so why don't you kick me to death?"

"It's not like I'll kick you to death. I'll give you a leg. After all, if you really feel sorry for Zheng Juan, then let me put it in for my brother. You won't get better."

"Then you have no chance." Zhou Bingkun grinned: "Brother, what should I do after the new year? Do you still want to do it?"

"Why don't you just stay in bed for the winter? Why are you so anxious? If you really can't stay idle, go back to work in the soy sauce factory."

"I'm not in the mood to do it anymore. You said I've been exposed to wind and rain every day. No matter how much I sell, I still only make so little money. It's boring."

Wang Yan ignored him, carrying the bucket, nodding to the people who greeted him along the way, and went to fetch water leisurely...

After the fifteenth, Zhou Bingyi and Chen Jing set off for school, and Wang Yan returned to the old Zhou family with the children. Zhou Bingkun didn't work either, but he couldn't stay at home, otherwise he couldn't explain to Li Suhua, so he could only ride his bicycle out for a stroll every day on time. Sometimes he stayed in Wang Yan's family building to read books and sleep, sometimes he went to talk to Qu Xiuzhen, and from time to time he made a few calls to the south to inquire about the news from people he knew, and went home for dinner at night. It wasn't easy for him either. After all, he had nothing to do, and the money in the south was tempting, so he was very tired.

In March, Zhou Bingkun strolled around at home for more than a month, and Wang Yan let him go south, and didn't let him buy too much goods, only 10,000 yuan. In fact, it didn't matter if he left after the New Year, but Wang Yan deliberately suppressed him to grind Zhou Bingkun.

With the channels from the previous two times, Zhou Bingkun acted very quickly this time, and basically spent all his time on the road. By July, he had made three trips in four months. Two of them were to Beijing, and the other one was to Shenyang.

In mid-June, Hao Dongmei gave birth to a daughter, and Zhou Bingyi, who was very happy, took the train back overnight. The child was named Qinglian by Hao Jinlong. Wang Yan was very happy when he saw what Zhou Zhigang wrote in the letter, but he probably felt uncomfortable because the name was not given by him.

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were still very happy to have a daughter. After all, they had been sentenced to death before, and they might not have children in this life. It was good to have children, and they didn't care whether it was a boy or a girl. However, Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji still felt a little regretful. This was the era, and they couldn't give birth to a son, and they had habitual regrets. Zhou Bingyi specially asked Wang Yan to go over to see if Hao Dongmei could have a second child, whether there was any danger, and he was thinking about having another child. After receiving the reply that she would have to recuperate for a year, they all felt relieved.

Li Suhua didn't need to take care of the confinement after childbirth. Hao Dongmei had her own mother at home, and she also had a full-time nanny who took good care of her. Li Suhua was not easy to go there either. That month, she only asked Wang Yan to take her there twice. When she came back, she hoped that Zheng Juan would also give birth to a granddaughter.

In July, the Special Administrative Region was established, and the great era began. Zhou Bingkun had enough money to build a factory. Wang Yan asked him to register Longteng Tea Drinks, gave him the formula, and invested in building a factory. It was still the same as in the last world. After all, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hong Kong Island all loved to drink it, and it was a profitable business with small profits and quick turnover. In the future, it could also develop in the direction of mineral water, beverages, and beer.

This industry was left to Zhou Bingkun to play with. Anyway, he would provide remote guidance and help build the foundation. He would not care about the rest. It all depended on Zhou Bingkun's own ability. After all, the industry was developed vertically and laid out horizontally. With capital and various advantages now, it was easy to rise. If you have the ability, then you can be in the Fortune 500. Even if he has no ability, he can still make a fortune of billions. He has no idea of ​​letting Zhou Bingkun control Longteng.

It's not for other reasons, but mainly because Zhou Bingkun doesn't have such strong ability. Just a tea industry can make Zhou Bingkun exhausted, not to mention the super invincible giant group like Longteng. Even now, he has to teach him to control and delegate power so that Zhou Bingkun can be freed and return to his family.

In fact, this is contradictory, but he still thinks that Zhou Bingkun should return to his family more, otherwise he will lose his original intention of letting Zhou Bingkun achieve something.

And the Northeast has not been opened yet, and it will take a few years, so he is not in a hurry. The main reason is that he is used to spreading the stall, and more importantly, what he has mastered is a blessing for the national destiny. Although it is not realistic, it is still the motherland. How can it be worse if it can be better? It won't take him too much time and experience. He can do whatever he wants to do, why not. So when the time comes, he will do it again.

In late August, Zheng Juan gave birth to a little girl. Li Suhua was happy. Zhou Bingyi couldn't hold her, so who could stop her from holding her? Zhou Zhigang, who was away from home, was also very happy to hear the news. After receiving the letter, he held it in for another half a month and named her Zishan.

Zhou Bingkun understood and laughed at Li Suhua, Wang Yan and others, saying that Zhou Zhigang was competing with her. Others named her Qinglian, but he named her Zishan. He was not like Jianhua, Jianye and Jianbang before, who followed the crowd and were very strong.

Zhou Rong's family did not come back this summer, saying that they would come back during the Chinese New Year. Wang Yan asked Chen Jing, but they still didn't divide the house, and they still quarreled from time to time.

In September, five-year-old Wang Jianye went to preschool, leaving Zhou Jianbang alone at home, and he also clamored to go to school. It took a while for him to get better. Zheng Juan was in good health, and Wang Yan prepared some medicinal food and prescribed qi-boosting medicine for her, so she recovered very quickly. After the confinement, I was able to work again, and I was still as diligent as I had been for years.

It was just that Zhou Bingkun had just started his business in Pengcheng and was developing the market, so he was basically not at home. There was no other way. Everything was difficult at the beginning, and he couldn't leave his family. And because the herbal tea market was not open, Zhou Bingkun also led people to transport goods to the north, which was very busy.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of 1980. Zhou Rong's family returned. They looked very harmonious on the outside, and Feng Yue, as expected, felt ordinary about her playmates who she hadn't seen for a long time. She had already made new friends on the campus in Beijing. But children, they also got to know each other quickly. But the time for the New Year was limited. The children had just gotten familiar with each other and had just found their previous feelings. Because of Feng Huacheng's work, he returned to Beijing on the sixth day of the New Year.

Hao Dongmei's child was not big, so there was no back and forth. Just like last year, she came back with her child at noon on the 30th, had lunch and left. Zhou Bingyi also had the New Year's Eve dinner at his father-in-law's house.

It seemed to have become a routine. On the second night of the New Year, Jin Yueji invited the Zhou family to dinner at home again. It was pretty good.

On the third day of the New Year, Zhou Bingkun and his friends had their annual gathering, but Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan were still missing. They had no contact in the past year. At the dinner table, it was still enjoyable in the first half and annoying in the second half. Although it was only half a year, the wind of reform had already blown to the northeast, which had some impact.

They knew that Zhou Bingkun went to Pengcheng, but they didn't know what he did specifically, but they knew that Zhou Bingkun bought a black and white TV for his family. When asked what he did, Zhou Bingkun didn't elaborate, but simply talked about the hot atmosphere in Pengcheng. And he warmly invited Cao Debao and the other three to go to the south to follow him, saying that they could make money.

But none of the three of them agreed, except Xiao Guoqing, Cao Debao and Sun Ganchao's reasons were almost the same. In the words of Zhou Zhigang in the original play, "the rice bowl is not big, it's iron", and Cao Debao became a team leader, and his salary increased a little, so of course he didn't want to leave.

People in the north are curious about going to the south, but they stay away from it, because there is no guarantee and no future. Cao Debao also said sourly that without Zhou Bingkun's good brother, he couldn't go back after leaving the factory.

Sun Ganchao's wife Yu Hong is pregnant and will give birth in a few months, so she definitely can't leave. Moreover, he wants to be safe and is not sure whether he can follow Zhou Bingkun to the end. In addition, Yu Hong winked at him, so he refused.

Xiao Guoqing has a reckless personality, which is called a tiger in Northeastern dialect. He heard that it is more difficult and tiring to be a good brother, so he agreed when Zhou Bingkun proposed it. However, Wu Qian stopped him by crying and making a fuss, and also made a harsh statement that if he dared to go, he would divorce.

As expected, they had another big quarrel that day and parted unhappily...

In fact, they knew that going out with Zhou Bingkun might not be any better, and they would not be treated harshly. They knew Zhou Bingkun's character. And Wang Yan and Zhou Bingyi, two brothers, were standing behind them, so it would not be any worse.

But that was Zhou Bingkun's support, not theirs. If they failed in the end and lost money, they had no way out. In addition, they had little experience, but the amount was small, and the idea of ​​a stable job was deeply rooted in their hearts, so it was normal not to follow.

What they wanted was to live better without paying, not to live better with risks. They couldn't afford to play without family background and people.

This was the advice Zhou Bingkun got from his good brother after consulting with him after he saw that the situation in the south was very good and wanted to take his good brothers out to make a fortune.

Seeing what his good friends meant, Zhou Bingkun also had a good idea in his mind. Although he was still young, he had been hanging around in the south for more than a year, dealing with all kinds of people, pulling up a pile of things, and supporting a group of people. Of course, he had grown up.

After the fifteenth day, Zhou Bingkun said goodbye to his family and once again boarded the train of the era that was full of hope and headed south...
