Chapter 1346 Yao Yuling Faints, Peacock Spreads Its Feathers

Back in the courtyard, Wang Xin saw Egg King wandering in the courtyard and muttered unhappily: "I'll stew you sooner or later."

Aunt Wu passed by: "Wang Xin, what are you muttering about here? Who do you want to eat?"

"No one. I just came back from get off work. I'm hungry. I just want to eat something."

"Looks like you're very hungry. Didn't you eat at work?"

"Eat, eat."

Zhou Chen walked past them, but was held back by Aunt Wu.

"Xiao Zhou, what I told you two days ago..."

Zhou Chen suddenly had a headache: "Aunt Wu, why are you mentioning this again?"

Aunt Wu said earnestly: "Xiao Zhou, you are not young anymore. You are the only one left in your old Zhou family. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of passing on the family line."

Zhou Chen looked helpless: "Aunt Wu, thank you for your concern, but I really haven't thought about a partner yet. Why don't you take a look at Wang Xin, he is also old, and you can introduce him to someone."

After diverting the trouble away, he ran away immediately. As expected, Aunt Wu set her sights on Wang Xin.

Wang Xin, who was standing nearby watching the excitement, became anxious when he saw that Zhou Chen actually changed the topic to himself.

"Aunt Wu, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

"Hey, Wang Xin, don't leave, I'm telling you..."

The aunties in the compound are all very nice, but the only thing about introducing partners everywhere is good-hearted, but Zhou Chen really can't bear it.

Zhou Chen made a simple dinner and went out for a walk after eating.

There are really too few entertainment activities these days. During these days at home, apart from playing chess with Lu Hongxing and the others, he also plays cards and occasionally goes fishing. There really are no more entertainment activities.

He was so idle that he was ready to find something to do to pass the time.

At night, Zhou Chen dragged his bicycle with a fifty- to sixty-centimeter piece of wood tied to the back seat, as well as several knives.

In order to find these knives and wood suitable for wood carving, he spent a long time shopping, because most of the shops are now state-owned. He bought this piece of wood from a furniture factory after visiting several stores, and the quality was still unsatisfactory. , just use it reluctantly.

Although his wood carving level is already very high, reaching the master level, he still wants to continue to improve, just so he can build a few sets of furniture for his own home.

It's just that when a master woodcarver makes furniture, it always feels a bit inconsistent.

As for the knives, Zhou Chen didn't have many requirements, because with his strength, meticulous control and hands-on ability, he could still use them to a professional level even if they weren't professional knives.

Using a knife to carve wood can not only hone his wood carving skills, but also his knife skills. This kind of force may not be very useful in modern urban society, but it can still be somewhat useful in the ancient world and even other worlds.

It can both kill time and help yourself, which is better than hanging around all day long.

On the way back to the compound, suddenly a figure came into Zhou Chen's eyes, and the other party also saw him.

"Hey, it's you, Zhou Chen, what are you doing?"

Since Zhou Chen made it clear what she meant last time, Yao Yuling has not had much contact with Zhou Chen except for work and daily life. However, she met Zhou Chen at this time and saw the big piece of wood behind Zhou Chen's bicycle. Still couldn't help but ask curiously.

Zhou Chen said: "If you don't have anything to do, buy some wood and knives, and prepare to go back to do some carpentry and carve something."

Yao Yuling looked surprised: "You can also do carpentry?"

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

"I didn't realize that you are so versatile. You can even do carpentry."

"How versatile is being able to do carpentry? It's getting late. Are you going out to play?"

"Yeah, I went to see a movie."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived outside the compound. Suddenly, a person rushed out of the darkness and jumped in front of Zhou Chen and Yao Yuling with a whoosh, shocking Yao Yuling.

"Oh, oh my god, Niu Dali, do you want to scare me to death?"

The person who jumped out was Niu Dali. He ignored Yao Yuling's complaints and stared at Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, why did you come back with Yao Er? Where were you all this late at night?"

Before Zhou Chen could answer, Yao Yuling shouted dissatisfied: "Where are we going to report to you?"

"No, I'm worried about you. Where did you go with Zhou Chen?"

"etc."

Zhou Chen interrupted Niu Dali: "Niu Dali, you misunderstood. Yao Yuling and I didn't go out together. We just met outside."

"That's it."

Niu Dali was doubtful, then looked at the wood on the back seat of Zhou Chen's car.

"Where did you get this big piece of wood?"

"I bought it. I'm very tired from holding it. I'm going back now. Let's talk."

Zhou Chen didn't want to get involved in the matter between Niu Dali and Yao Yuling. He had a good relationship with Niu Dali, but he knew very well how much Niu Dali had licked Yao Yuling. If he tried to persuade him, not only would it not be effective, but he might be betrayed by Niu Dali. Strongly suspected of having ulterior motives.

There is no way, sometimes the thoughts of licking dogs are illogical, and any words that are kind to them can turn into persecution in their ears.

So in order to prevent such a thing from happening, he didn't even think about trying to persuade Niu Dali.

You think people are licking dogs, but maybe they enjoy it?

You are not a fish, you know the happiness of fish.

As I pushed my bicycle away, I could still hear the conversation between Niu Dali and Yao Yuling behind me.

"I went to the movies and ran into Zhou Chen by chance..."

"Are there many people watching the movie?"

"Too many, I..."

A dog licker!

Zhou Chen sighed. Niu Dali was really too humble in front of Yao Yuling, but the more humble he was, the less likely he would get good results.

Because he was going out in the afternoon, Zhou Chen got up in the morning and started carving the wood he bought yesterday.

Holding the knife and looking at the wood in front of him, Zhou Chen thought for a long time and finally decided to carve a pair of phoenixes.

He didn't start immediately, but drew a pair of phoenixes on paper first. As a master painter, he was not unfamiliar with the mythical beast of the phoenix and drew it quickly.

Comparing with the portrait, Zhou Chen started to move the knife on the wood. It was not an easy task to carve a phoenix on such a piece of wood.

After a few hours in the morning, he had not even completed one-tenth of it. He was not rushing to work, so he did not speed up. He was in a state of half playing and half carving.

Just after lunch, when I was about to continue carving, Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian came running over.

"Zhou Chen, we still have a while before work starts, let's go play cards for a while, the three of us, plus Dali, there are exactly four people."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen responded, "Okay, let's go."

The four of them set up a table in the courtyard, and then started playing cards, not for money, just for fun.

But after playing for a while, conflicts arose, because Niu Dali's card skills were so bad that Zhou Chen was a little disgusted, not to mention Cai Xiaonian and Wang Xin.

After a while, Niu Dali was driven away, and Wu Changgui came up to replace him, while Niu Dali stood behind and watched the game with an indignant look on his face.

But soon, Niu Dali's attention was attracted by others.

Yao Yuling came out of Aunt Lu's house wearing a pink coat.

"Aunt Lu, thank you so much. Look how well it fits me."

"It's good that it fits me. If you need it, just let me know."

Aunt Lu is Lu Hongxing's wife. She is a housewife who knows some needlework and occasionally makes clothes for others to earn some pocket money. In this compound, Yao Yuling is her biggest customer.

When the other women saw Yao Yuling's pink clothes, they couldn't help but praise her.

Most women of this era are conservative and family-oriented. Women like Yao Yuling are a minority.

Others may grumble about her bright and beautiful appearance, but most of them are envious and jealous. Women, even older women, don't like to be beautiful. It's just that few people show it like Yao Yuling.

Yao Yuling chatted with them with a smile. When she saw Zhou Chen and the others playing cards over there, she walked over.

"Oh, playing cards."

"Yao'er, your clothes are really beautiful. They match your temperament very well. They are very beautiful."

Such words would only come from Niu Dali's mouth.

Yao Yuling was in high spirits and was about to speak when her head suddenly sank. She felt her eyes spinning, her body swayed, her feet slipped, and she fell to the ground.

"Oh my god, Yao'er."

Niu Dali screamed in shock and knelt on the ground to help Yao Yuling who had fallen to the ground.

"Yao'er."

Wang Xin and the others who were playing cards were also startled. They quickly dropped the cards in their hands and went to see Yao Yuling's situation. Others in the hospital heard the noise and quickly surrounded them.

Niu Dali half-helped Yao Yuling up. At this time, Yao Yuling had fainted and lost consciousness.

"What's going on? What's going on? Yao'er, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Chen squatted down and took a few glances, and said, "She should have hypoglycemia and suddenly fainted. Take her to the house first."

Niu Dali picked up Yao Yuling without saying a word and rushed to Yao Yuling's home.

After a while, Dr. Shen, who came back to eat in the hospital, knew the situation and came to help immediately.

After taking her pulse and pressing a few times, Yao Yuling finally opened her eyes in a daze.

Niu Dali asked impatiently: "Doctor Shen, what happened to Yao'er? Why did she suddenly faint? Is she okay?"

Shen Xiuping said: "It's probably hypoglycemia. Go get some sugar, go quickly."

Niu Dali and Wang Xin hurried to find her, but soon turned back.

"No sugar."

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone said that there was no sugar at home. In the end, Wang Xin brought his treasured White Rabbit milk candy and let Yao Yuling eat it.

It was this move that made Yao Yuling look at Wang Xin differently, especially the sweetness of the White Rabbit, which made her heart beat.

But this made Niu Dali jealous. First it was Zhou Chen, and now it was Wang Xin.

Zhou Chen was okay, he didn't have that idea, but Wang Xin seemed to have a more complicated purpose, which made him feel great pressure and malice.

Zhou Chen and the other four rode to work together, and Wang Xin proudly showed off his bicycle.

"How's it, a new one, Fei Ge brand, I saved up money to buy it myself."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Not bad, I finally don't have to let you take a ride anymore."

Niu Dali and the others did nothing and said nothing. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wang Xin took the initiative to talk to him, but was severely scolded by Niu Dali.

"Look, it's unreasonable, isn't it? Zhou Chen, Xiaonian, you two can give us some advice. I was just thinking about saving people at that time."

Zhou Chen and Cai Xiaonian didn't say much, but talked about other things.

"It's almost time, hurry up, don't be late."

"Yes, it's a holiday today, so there will definitely be a lot of passengers, so hurry up and get there."

…………

In the blink of an eye, March left quietly and April arrived.

In April, the wind is gentle, the sky is clear and the air is clear, the flowers are blooming, the grass and trees are showing off, and the earth is prosperous.

More than a month has passed since Ma Kui and Wang Xin arrived on this train on the Ningha line. Ma Kui is a model worker. Under his leadership, his apprentice Wang Xin is naturally not to be left behind and has also become a model worker.

With these two model worker colleagues, Zhou Chen felt that he was much more relaxed than before. Not only him, but Yu Xingguo also felt this way.

Zhou Chen was okay, but Yu Xingguo was a little unaccustomed to it for a while. He couldn't stand idle and looked for work everywhere. On the contrary, Zhou Chen became the most idle one.

However, neither Ma Kui, Wang Xin, nor Yu Xingguo had any opinions on this, because Zhou Chen helped them take care of all the literary work. They just rushed forward, and Zhou Chen would summarize and organize the subsequent matters. .

So more than a month has passed, and their shift has reached a tacit understanding, each doing what they are good at.

After handling a fight, Zhou Chen handed the record book to Ma Kui and asked him to read it over.

Ma Kui looked at the transcript and said with emotion: "Xiao Zhou, your handwriting is really good. I think you can definitely go to college. With your intelligence, being a policeman is really an underachievement."

It's not that he thinks the policeman's job is not good, he is a policeman himself, but after getting along with him for this period of time, he has learned about Zhou Chen's abilities.

Zhou Chen is young, but in handling things and doing work, he is only better than a veteran like him. In terms of knowledge and calculation, let alone that. He has lived for forty years, but he has never seen anyone better than him. Zhou Chen is a more powerful person.

"Forget it about getting into college. I went to the police academy right after I graduated from junior high school. It was okay last year, but forget it this year."

Zhou Chen has no idea about going to college. He has been to college so many times and he really doesn't have the intention.

"That's such a pity. I heard that Captain Hu intends to recommend you to go to the Public Security University. Can you consider it?"

"It's just a joke from Captain Hu."

Ma Kui said: "Compared to you, Wang Xin, that brat, makes me angry just looking at him."

Zhou Chen advised: "Wang Xin is actually quite smart. Brother Ma, you can also teach him well. He will definitely be very promising in the future."

"Is he promising? Hum."

Ma Kui usually treats people normally, but whenever Wang Xin is involved, his attitude changes completely.

"I think I heard someone talking about me?"

Wang Xin carried the lunch box and walked into the dining car, looking at Zhou Chen and Ma Kui with doubts on his face.

Ma Kui said angrily: "No one is telling you, hurry up and eat, and go to work after eating."
