Chapter 1368 The Powerful Zhou Chen, Date
Even though Ma Kui and Wang Sufang tried their best to keep him, Zhou Chen didn't stay in the end.
Normally, it's okay to stay for a meal, but today there are guests at home, and they must reminisce about the past and have endless things to say. What's the point of him staying?
It's also quite comfortable to cook some rice and drink bone soup at home.
In the original plot, Peng Yongli often stayed at the Ma family during college.
It's just a little different from the plot that Wang Sufang is still alive, but with Wang Sufang's kindness, if Ma Kui wants Peng Yongli to stay, she will not refuse, but will welcome her. She is a person who knows how to repay kindness. Peng Mingjie saved Ma Kui's life, so he is the great benefactor of their family.
So if Peng Yongli stays at the Ma family, they may meet often in the future, which is also a good thing for him.
"Oh, eating."
Wang Xin didn't even knock on the door, he just pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Zhou Chen eating, he was immediately happy and sat down on the stool without any courtesy.
Zhou Chen said speechlessly: "You really have a dog nose, you must have come here by smell."
Wang Xin was not polite at all, he laughed: "There is no one at home, I am too lazy to cook at home, so I thought of having a meal at your place. I came at the right time, and there is bone soup, not bad, not bad."
"You are really not polite at all."
"Do we need to be polite with our relationship?"
Wang Xin took the bowl and chopsticks familiarly and started eating with Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen was just talking, of course he didn't mind Wang Xin eating with him. Wang Xin often ate and drank with him, but he was also an open-minded person, and brought food and drinks to him many times. He was not the kind of person who ate and drank for free and took advantage of others.
"Well, your cooking skills are still good, much better than my dad's. This bone soup is fresh and delicious. I will ask you to cook the ribs I buy in the future."
"Go away, you really think I'm a chef."
"Hey, I heard that Uncle Ma's relatives came to his house, did you know?"
"I know, Uncle Ma's old friend is having dinner at their house."
"Oh, so that's it."
"Slow down, you've never eaten meat, you're really not polite at all."
"It's just some meat, I'll give you all the meat tickets when I get my salary next time."
Zhou Chen sneered at this. He heard this a lot, but he didn't see a single meat ticket. Wang Xin would rather give him other tickets than meat tickets. It's still very difficult to eat meat these days, and meat tickets are good things.
"Zhou Chen, I think it's meaningless for you to work in the passenger police team. You might as well come to our criminal police team. Our captain Jiang is very optimistic about you. Why don't you go?"
"Maybe I don't have your kind of enthusiasm."
Although Zhou Chen looks two years older than Wang Xin, in fact, his mentality is no longer young. He likes to think carefully before doing things. He will not do it like Wang Xin.
"I don't understand you."
Wang Xin couldn't understand Zhou Chen's thoughts. When he was a passenger police, if the captain of the criminal police team recruited him, he would have run there long ago.
Zhou Chen and Wang Xin were eating and chatting here. The Ma family was much more lively than their place.
There were six people squeezed on the table, five big people and a little Ma Jian. Ma Kui and Peng Mingjie were drinking and drinking. Both of them were red-faced, and there was laughter during the meal.
When talking about the time when Peng Mingjie saved Ma Kui's life, Ma Kui was really moved, and Wang Sufang was even more grateful. If it weren't for Peng Mingjie, their family wouldn't have the good life they have now.
While Ma Kui and his wife were chatting happily with Peng Mingjie, Ma Yan and Peng Yongli, the two younger generations, finished their meal and went to Ma Yan's room upstairs to talk.
"Sister, what are you knitting?"
Peng Yongli asked curiously, looking at a piece of unfinished knitted fabric that Ma Yan placed on the bedside.
Ma Yan said, "That's a kettle cover. Do you like it? If you like it, I'll knit one for you."
"You knitted it yourself, sister. You're so skillful. Can you teach me?"
"Sure, needlework is not difficult. You can get into college, so you must be smarter than me. You must have no problem learning it. But it takes time. You still have to go to school. Do you have time to knit?"
"The courses in college are not that tight. I still have free time. Learning needlework can just kill time."
Peng Yongli's mother died very early. She grew up with her father, so she really didn't know how to do needlework at all. She couldn't find anyone to teach her even if she wanted to learn.
"That's great. Come on, I'll teach you now."
Ma Yan also wanted to be a teacher. Seeing that Peng Yongli really wanted to learn, she took the needle and thread and started to teach Peng Yongli with great interest.
"Sister, Zhou Chen also lives in this compound. Are you familiar with him?"
"Yes, he has lived here for more than ten years. Our family just moved here a few years ago. How did you and Uncle Peng know him?"
Peng Yongli recalled her first acquaintance with Zhou Chen, and a smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of her mouth.
"We met on the train, and he helped me a lot."
Ma Yan couldn't help but sighed: "It seems that there is something wrong. Do you like him?"
"No, no."
Peng Yongli blushed immediately: "Sister, don't guess blindly. We have only met once. We are at most friends."
"Friends, tut tut."
"Really, sister, it's true."
"Okay, I believe it. Since you asked, I will tell you about him. He is a famous person in our compound."
Ma Yan saw that Peng Yongli was interested in Zhou Chen, so she told her about Zhou Chen.
"I heard a lot about him from my father and Wang Xin."
"Who is Wang Xin?"
"My junior high school classmate, and also my father's apprentice. Now he is a criminal policeman like my father. Let's not talk about him, let's talk about Zhou Chen first."
Ma Yan told everything she knew.
"If it weren't for Zhou Chen, my mother might not be alive today, so he is our family's benefactor."
Peng Yongli was shocked: "Isn't he a flight attendant? He also knows medical skills."
"Yes, his medical skills are better than those doctors and experts in large hospitals. He can cure any discomfort my mother has. When Ma Jian was sick as a child, he was cured. He is very capable. Not only medical skills, I heard from Wang Xin that he can also woodcarve. I have seen the woodcarving he carved for Wang Xin. It is lifelike and amazing."
"He can also paint, and his literary level is very high. Wang Xin told me that if Zhou Chen had taken the college entrance examination, he would definitely be able to enter a prestigious university..."
After listening to Ma Yan's narration, Peng Yongli was even more shocked. She didn't know much about Zhou Chen, but from what Ma Yan said, Zhou Chen really knows too much, including medical skills, woodcarving and painting, literature and mathematics, and he can do everything.
"Sister, is he really that good?"
Ma Yan thought about it and answered affirmatively: "Really, anyway, from my experience with him, he is very good. My father also said that he is very good at solving cases. The leaders of the police force have always wanted to transfer him to the criminal police team, but he didn't go. Anyway, in a word, in our compound, he is the most promising one in everyone's eyes, and the most handsome one. Even Wang Xin is a little worse than him."
Peng Yongli was already impressed by Zhou Chen. After listening to Ma Yan's narration, she became more interested in Zhou Chen. She has always treasured the water cup that Zhou Chen gave her.
After talking for a long time, Ma Yan felt a little thirsty, so she drank a sip of water.
"Lili, if, I say if, if you are looking for a partner, Zhou Chen would be a very good candidate."
Peng Yongli's face turned red again: "Sister, why are you talking about this? What about looking for a partner? I don't want to find a partner. I'm still in school."
"Hehe, I didn't say you were looking for a partner, you admitted it yourself. Also, can't you fall in love in college? I heard that no one in college should care about this, right?"
"You can fall in love in college, but more people are still studying."
After all, Peng Yongli is only a freshman and has only been in school for a few months. At least few of her classmates are in love.
"It's good to be able to go to college. My dad forced me to take the college entrance examination, but I'm really not good at studying. I only scored 30 points in the first exam, haha..."
Thinking of her college entrance examination results, Ma Yan couldn't help laughing. In fact, if her father hadn't forced her, she didn't want to take the college entrance examination at all.
The father and daughter of the Peng family stayed at the Ma family for a few hours. Before leaving, Peng Yongli specially asked Ma Yan to take her to find Zhou Chen and say goodbye to Zhou Chen.
A few days later, at Niu Dali's home.
Niu Dali looked depressed, with a new-looking TV in front of him. Zhou Chen, Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian stood opposite him. They were called by Niu Dali.
Niu Dali told them how he bought a TV. He didn't have a TV ticket, so he had to spend money on it from the black market. As a result, he spent a lot of money, but in the end he bought a fancy stand. Not to mention watching TV, even the electricity couldn't be connected.
He really had no choice, so he found Zhou Chen and others, wanting them to help him find a solution. After all, a TV cost him hundreds of yuan, and he was unwilling to let it go to waste.
Wang Xin scolded Niu Dali, and Niu Dali accepted the beating and scolding, just asking for help.
Zhou Chen said: "This is simple, leave it to Wang Xin, he is a criminal policeman and has experience in handling such things."
"Oh, by the way."
Wang Xin smiled proudly, he liked to hear this.
"Okay, leave it to me, Dali, tell me what the rules are for the person who sells TV sets?"
Wang Xin was really trained in the criminal police team. After he took action, he caught the person who sold fake goods in a few days and got back Niu Dali's money.
…………
It was time to watch TV again in the evening, but Zhou Chen didn't go this time, but the next day he learned from others that Cai Xiaonian had trouble getting married.
Cai Xiaonian also found Zhou Chen specifically and asked Zhou Chen for help.
"Zhou Chen, you have a lot of ideas, help me think of a way to deal with Yanhong's mother."
Zhou Chen thought, there are many ways, and in the case of Yanhong's mother, the simplest and most direct way is to use money. As long as the money is in place and the face is in place, everything will be fine.
But it is obvious that Cai Xiaonian's family does not have this condition, otherwise he would not ask for help from the people in the compound.
"No matter how many ideas you have, I can't negotiate for you. You can only negotiate on your own. If you really want to marry her, you have to follow her requirements."
The current marriage customs are still different from those decades later. He has a lot of experience in marriage and dealing with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but his experience is not applicable to Cai Xiaonian.
Although Cai Xiaonian is eloquent, he is actually soft-hearted. At least when he was dating Yanhong, he was at a disadvantage and was controlled by her.
In this case, he really wanted to marry her, so he could only be humble.
Without getting a solution from Zhou Chen, Cai Xiaonian could only leave disappointed.
Ningyang Railway, police team, Zhou Chen stood by the window indoors, looking at the heavy snow falling outside.
There hasn't been a lot of snow in Ningyang this year, but it's been quite heavy several times, and the ground has been covered with snow.
"Zhou Chen, phone."
"coming."
Zhou Chen walked to the phone and answered the call.
"Hello……"
A few minutes later, Zhou Chen hung up the phone.
The person who called him was Peng Yongli, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She wanted to ask him to help buy two sleeper tickets to Harbin in a few days. She said that her father was coming to Ningyang and would go back together when she was on vacation. During the Chinese New Year, it was difficult to buy sleeper tickets for the year before, so I asked Zhou Chen for help.
Zhou Chen naturally would not refuse and agreed to her, and said that he would hand her the ticket when he came back next time. However, Peng Yongli said that she was too embarrassed to trouble him to give it to her and asked him to meet at a park near Ningyang University. Of course I agreed.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. After Zhou Chen got dressed, he rode his bicycle to the vicinity of Ningyang University.
He had arrived early, but to his surprise, when he arrived at his destination, he had already seen Peng Yongli.
The weather today is good, and the sun has been shining since the morning. When Zhou Chen stopped the car next to Peng Yongli, Peng Yongli's eyes suddenly lit up and she waved to Zhou Chen.
"It's so cold, why did you come so early?" Zhou Chen asked.
Peng Yongli said with a smile: "I'm nearby, it's hard for you to run so far."
"This little journey is nothing to me, No, these are two sleeper tickets, consecutive."
Zhou Chen took out the ticket and handed it to Peng Yongli. Peng Yongli suddenly showed a look of surprise and said gratefully: "Thank you, Zhou Chen, how much is it?"
"We are friends. It's just a small favor. Forget about the money."
"That's not possible. I'm very grateful to you for helping. How can you not ask for money? You have to give it."
At Peng Yongli's insistence, Zhou Chen could only accept her money.
"That, that."
Peng Yongli suddenly turned red, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and handed a bag in his hand to Zhou Chen.
"this is for you."
"For me?"
Zhou Chen looked surprised. He took it and opened it. It turned out to be a knitted gray scarf.
Peng Yongli blushed and said, "You helped me twice. I really don't know how to thank you. I knitted this scarf myself. It doesn't look very good. Don't dislike it."
"Of course I don't mind."
With that said, Zhou Chen proved it with practical actions. He took out the scarf and wrapped it around his neck.
"Well, it's very warm and the style is nice. Thank you."
Peng Yongli was a little embarrassed when she saw Zhou Chen wearing the scarf she knitted in front of her, but when she heard Zhou Chen's praise, she felt particularly happy.
"As long as you like it."
Zhou Chen said: "It's quite cold outside. Stop standing here and chatting. Let's find a place to sit down and chat?"
Peng Yongli glanced at Zhou Chen secretly, did not refuse, and whispered: "Then where are we going? I'm not very familiar with Ning Yang."
"How's the cinema? I heard there's a new movie coming out this afternoon."
"A movie theater?"
Peng Yongli's heart was pounding like a deer, but she still nodded uncannily.
"good."
