Chapter 1706: Pushing the Limits, Another Year

After deducting the cost, Zhou Chen helped Zhuang Ganmei get two bicycles this time, and he earned a total of 90 yuan, which was much faster than the money he made from writing homework for others.

However, after getting the money, he did not keep it all for himself, but quietly came to the kitchen and found Huang Ling who was cooking.

"Mom, this 70 yuan is for you."

"Give it to me?"

Huang Ling was very surprised when she saw the money Zhou Chen handed over, and then said: "This is the money you earned yourself, you don't have to give it to me, just keep it yourself."

Zhou Chen said: "It's true that I earned it, but it's also right to give it to you. It's really not easy to earn 90 yuan from there this time. It's enough for me to keep 20 yuan. This 70 yuan, all for you, this is just the beginning, mom, don't worry, when I grow up in the future, let alone 70, even if it's 70,000 or 70 million, it's nothing, you just wait and enjoy it."

After that, he stuffed the money into Huang Ling's hand and left the kitchen.

Huang Ling looked at the seventy yuan in her hand and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Seventy yuan is not a small amount of money. It was given to her by her youngest son. This made her feel very complicated.

Happy, joyful, touched, wronged...

Since she married Zhuang Chaoying, it can't be said that she has been suffering all the time. In fact, her life is acceptable, but what really tortures her is her spiritual life. Zhuang Chaoying is her husband, but he never stands on her side. He always stands on the side of his parents and younger brother.

Year after year, she is always the one who compromises and is exploited in the Zhuang family. The other side has been sucking blood from their family. The life that was not good to begin with has become more difficult.

She has long lost her expectations for her husband. Her expectations are her children.

And today, Zhou Chen's behavior made her feel that she was not wrong. Her children are worth relying on. Her youngest son is a good child. He has always stood on her side and protected her. He also thought about her when he made money, bought her shoes and gave her money.

Tears flowed uncontrollably. She wiped them and saw Song Ying coming over and holding her shoulders.

"Sister Ling, why are you crying when it's such a happy thing?"

When Zhou Chen gave Huang Ling money just now, she was standing next to the kitchen and saw it clearly, so she could understand why Huang Ling was crying.

"Your Tuxi is so sensible. He knows how to care for you at such a young age. You should be happy."

"I am happy, but I don't know why the tears flowed down. Song Ying, Tuxi made me understand that my previous insistence was right. My children should not be led astray by the Zhuang family, let alone learn from their father."

Song Ying comforted: "Tuxi is so smart. Although he is still young, he is smarter than many adults. Tunan and Xiaoting are also smart, but they are still young now. When they grow up, they will definitely be like Tuxi, a child who will care for others. Sister Ling, you can wait for a happy life in the future."

"I don't want to enjoy any happiness. As long as the children are well, I will do anything."

"It is because of a mother like you that they are so sensible. Don't cry, Sister Ling. It's not good for the children to see it."

"Yes, you are right."

Huang Ling wiped the tears from her face, cheered up, and started cooking.

But who knew that the bicycle incident was not over. Half a month later, Zhuang's father and grandmother came again with Zhuang Ganmei and his wife.

With his parents in charge, Zhuang Ganmei directly stated his purpose, which was to ask Zhou Chen to assemble five more bicycles for him.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling's faces changed.

Zhuang Chaoying asked anxiously: "Didn't Tuxi just assemble two bicycles for you a few days ago? Why do you want five more?"

Huang Ling directly refused: "No, Tuxi doesn't have so much time. He still has to go to class to study. We can't let him spend time doing these things."

Facing Huang Ling's gaze, Zhuang Chaoying felt numb on his back and said with a stiff face: "A Ling and I have the same idea, not to mention what do you want five bicycles for?"

Zhou Chen said bluntly: "You want me to assemble bicycles and then sell them to others, right?"

Zhuang Ganmei and his wife and the two elders of the Zhuang family all changed their faces suddenly. Grandma Zhuang hurriedly said: "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about? How can we Don't do that kind of speculation. We want five bicycles for relatives. "

Zhuang Ganmei's wife also added: "Mom is right. The two bicycles we bought before, one was given to Ganmei's leader, and the other was taken by my brother. He is getting married soon and needs a bicycle, so I don't have a bicycle now. Tuxi, you have the ability to help aunt assemble a few. It won't take much time anyway."

"Yes, yes, we have several relatives who want bicycles."

Several people said one after another, all saying that they couldn't save face. For the bicycles that relatives wanted, they acted as if you didn't assemble them for us, you were disregarding family affection and wanted to morally blackmail Zhou Chen's family.

Zhuang's father spoke, but he didn't tell Zhou Chen, because he knew Zhou Chen would never listen to him, so he was talking to Zhuang Chaoying.

"Boss, you are the boss of our banker, and you have always been the face of our banker, the representative of filial piety, and the person who values ​​family affection the most. Now your brother and sister-in-law and relatives at home are in need and have come to us for help. We can't just ignore it, boss, what do you say?"

"This?"

Zhuang Chaoying couldn't help but hesitate, mainly because Zhuang's father's words sounded nice, which made him feel vain. He was determined not to delay Zhou Chen's study just now, and he wanted to refuse, but his attitude suddenly became hesitant.

In the end, Xiaozhuang did not live up to his "filial piety" and said to Zhou Chen: "Tuxi, why don't you help your third uncle assemble a few more bicycles? It shouldn't take too long for you."

Zhuang Ganmei nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Tuxi, I am your uncle, you have to help me, don't worry, I won't let you work in vain, just like last time, one hundred and fifty two, you can make a lot of money, but the overall parts of the bicycles must be at least 70% to 80% new."

"No."

Huang Ling spoke again, still refusing coldly, with a clear attitude.

"Tuxi, you are not allowed to do this. You are a student now, and you should study hard. Mom and Dad should make money."

Grandma Zhuang was unhappy and shouted, "A Ling, what are you doing? We are also thinking about your family. Five bikes can make more than 300 yuan. How much money do you get in a year? We are thinking about you. Why don't you appreciate it?"

"Mom, thank you, but I really can't appreciate it." Huang Ling forced a smile and said slowly.

The faces of several people suddenly turned cold, and they looked at Zhuang Chaoying again. Zhuang Chaoying looked embarrassed, but in the end he didn't dare to look at Huang Ling and leaned towards his "family".

"Tuxi, your uncle and aunt should really need these bicycles. Listen to me, just help them."

Zhou Chen's expression was calm, not affected at all, but his eyes turned back and forth between the few people, and finally fell on Zhuang Chaoying's face.

"Dad, actually, assembling a few bicycles is not a big deal."

"Pah!"

Zhuang Ganmei clapped his hands happily and shouted excitedly: "See, Tusi is still quick-witted. Yes, assembling a few bicycles is nothing. For him, it's just a small matter..."

But he didn't care about him at all and made another big turn.

"But, Dad, you have to think carefully. If I assemble five bicycles and give them to my uncles, and they sell the bicycles in other ways to make money, it would be speculation and reselling. I don't care. After all, I'm just a ten-year-old kid. Even if the source is found in the end, they won't arrest me, but you and my uncles."

"So, Dad, are you ready to be arrested and take responsibility?"

The smiles on the faces of Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Ganmei froze instantly, especially Zhuang Chaoying, whose face became very ugly.

When Zhou Chen assembled bicycles for Zhuang Tunan before, he had worried about this matter. Now that Zhou Chen brought it up, he was of course even more worried. After all, he also knew his brother. He had to assemble five bicycles at once, which must be a bad motive.

"Once we are caught for speculation and swindling, we will definitely lose our jobs and go to jail. It will also definitely affect our future schooling and college entrance exams..."

"Stop, stop."

Zhuang Chaoying covered his chest and quickly interrupted Zhou Chen. He couldn't bear any of the serious consequences Zhou Chen mentioned. Just thinking about it made him feel suffocated and trembling in his heart.

Zhuang Ganmei and his wife, Zhuang's father and Zhuang's grandmother also looked unhappy. They did have this idea, but they didn't expect that Zhou Chen, a child, could easily see through it.

According to their plan, even if they bought five bicycles from Zhou Chen at 75 yuan each, they could make a lot of money by reselling them. Moreover, they could also ask Zhuang Chaoying to help with the advance payment like last time, so that they could make more money.

But all this is based on Zhou Chen's willingness to help assemble the bicycles. If Zhou Chen is unwilling to do it, then all the work will be in vain.

"Boss..."

Zhuang A'die was about to use the power of an old father and use the old tricks to make Zhuang Chaoying compromise.

But this time it was different. Zhuang Chaoying could sacrifice his own interests to help his parents and his brother's family, but he would not sacrifice his job, freedom and the future of his children to do this. In his opinion, this was not worthwhile at all and was illegal. He would not do illegal things.

"Dad, Mom, you don't have to say anything. Speculation is illegal. We can't do this kind of thing. Tusi will never get a bicycle again."

Zhuang's father was furious when he heard this. He scolded Zhuang Chaoying, but Zhuang Chaoying would rather be scolded than agree. In the end, Zhuang's father was so angry that he smashed the water cup in his hand, but it was useless. He could only leave angrily.

Huang Ling exhaled and looked at Zhuang Chaoying with a high opinion of her. Although she knew that Zhou Chen's warning had worked, it was rare for Zhuang Chaoying to refuse his parents with such a firm attitude.

After that, there was no mention of bicycles.

Time passed quickly. 1978 passed and 1979 came. This semester also came to an end.

Although Zhou Chen was the youngest in the fifth grade class, he was also the best student. He ranked first in the class in the final exam and was praised by the teacher. He also received a certificate for being a "three-good student", which Huang Ling posted on the wall of her home.

On the eve of the winter vacation, Zhuang Chaoying took a job to carve some exercise papers for students to do. He could get 50 cents for each paper, so now he had to carve test papers at home every day. In a few days, his hands were already full of chilblains.

Huang Ling knew that Song Ying had been frugal this year in order to buy a TV, so when the New Year was approaching, she lent all the 200 yuan she had saved to Song Ying, which moved Song Ying to tears.

And Lin Wufeng also exchanged 50 kilograms of food coupons for a TV ticket in order to help Song Ying and Lin Dongzhe buy a TV, which moved Song Ying to tears again.

With enough money and a TV ticket, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng began to prepare to buy a TV.

Before the New Year, TVs were also in short supply, because many factories would issue a batch of TV tickets before the New Year, and many families would save money at the end of the year, so families with money and tickets naturally wanted to buy a TV.

So if you want to buy a TV during this period, you really have to rely on snatching.

Lin Wufeng also snatched a TV set for several days before the Spring Festival, a 14-inch black-and-white TV set.

This black-and-white TV set is quite backward in Zhou Chen's eyes, but it is a luxury for ordinary people nowadays.

The day when the TV set arrived at home, Lin Dongzhe was so happy that he didn't want to take his eyes off the TV for a moment, and he wished he could carry the TV with him wherever he went.

Today's TV sets are not like those decades later. If you want to receive TV stations, you need to install antennas, and the number of TV stations is also very limited.

Before the Spring Festival, the Zhuang and Lin families, plus Wu Jianguo's family, all gathered at Song Ying's house and watched this brand new TV set.

"This year's Spring Festival is lively, and I like Song Ying's TV."

Wu Jianguo ate melon seeds and watched TV with a smile. He is now one of the workers who works the most night shifts in the cotton mill. Even during this year's Spring Festival, he still has to work several night shifts, so he looks haggard now.

The three women sat together, chattering non-stop. Zhang A-mei's face was full of envy, Song Ying talked about how difficult it was to buy a TV, and Huang Ling smiled and said that she would make a TV cover for the TV later. Song Ying was very happy to hear this and thanked her repeatedly.

Wu Shanshan sat with Zhou Chen and whispered: "Zhuang Tuxi, have you finished your winter vacation homework?"

Zhou Chen said: "Yes, I have finished it."

"Then can you lend it to me later, and go back to see which questions I got wrong."

Zhang Min's eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly said: "And me, and me, I'll take a look too, Zhuang Tuxi, you have such good grades, you must have done all the right things."

Zhou Chen did not refuse, nodded and replied: "Okay, then you can go to my place to get it when you leave later."

"Okay, Zhuang Tuxi, thank you."

I am too tired today, so I will update once.
