Chapter 553 Famous Moving Light Letters

Shao Jingwen didn't stay at Zhou's house for long. He chatted with Zhou Chen for a while and prepared to leave after explaining the situation.

"Bingkun, at eight o'clock the day after tomorrow, you go directly to the publishing house to report. I will wait for you at the door then."

"Teacher Shao, thank you very much. I will be there on time the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Chen sincerely expressed his gratitude to Shao Jingwen. They had only met twice, but Shao Jingwen's enthusiasm still touched him.

In this day and age, it is definitely not easy to find a satisfying job.

Although Zhou Chen believed that he had a mountain in his chest and a universe in his belly, it would be in vain if he didn't have the chance to use it.

The work in a publishing house may not be a noble job, but it is definitely freer and makes more money than being a worker.

"Then I'll leave first."

"Teacher Shao, walk slowly."

Shao Jingwen said something to Zhou Chen and Li Suhua, and left happily.

Zhou Chen was happy to find a job, and he was also happy to recruit Zhou Chen. He believed that with Zhou Chen's ability, he would be able to shine in the future, so he had made up his mind that after Zhou Chen entered the publishing house, he must focus on Please take care of me and don’t let Zhou Chen go astray.

Li Suhua looked at the note in Zhou Chen's hand. This was Zhou Chen's receipt for going to the publishing house to work. With this, he could go to the publishing house to report.

"Kun'er, did mom hear you right? What you just said was your job?"

Zhou Chen pulled Li Suhua into the inner room and sat down on the kang. He said with a smile, "Mom, you heard me right. I found a job and went to Jiangliao Publishing House to be a magazine editor."

"It's a job in a publishing house, but haven't you been assigned yet? Why do you have to go to work in a publishing house?"

While Li Suhua was happy, she was also very confused. Their family was a working-class family, and the publishing house was a place for intellectuals. But she could not imagine that her old son, who had not even graduated from junior high school, would work in a publishing house.

Zhou Chen explained: "Because we are a worker family and have urban household registration, the street assigns us jobs. However, the jobs assigned by the street are either factories or other positions. I don't like those positions very much. So I figured out a way on my own some time ago.”

"Mr. Shao is the editor-in-chief of the publishing house. He appreciates my talent very much, so he helps me and lets me work in the publishing house. Mom, now you don't have to worry about my work anymore. I can work as an editor in the publishing house. It’s definitely much easier than working as a factory worker.”

Li Suhua said with great joy: "That's for sure. Well, the publishing house is a place where cultural people gather. Kun'er, you are such an old fool that you have the ability to work in a publishing house."

"No, I'm your son. Of course I have to be capable. Mom, from now on I will make money to buy you delicious food and new clothes, and then find you a filial daughter-in-law. Just wait and enjoy your happiness."

"Haha, how old is Mom? What blessings do you still enjoy? As long as you can work well, Mom will be happy."

Although she said this, Li Suhua still smiled very happily, but suddenly she remembered something and asked: "Kun'er, you go to work in a publishing house, are you organized?"

Zhou Chen replied: "Of course. If there is no establishment, who will go there? Mom, just be rest assured. You have grown up, and you can distinguish right from wrong."

"Great, great."

Li Suhua was uneducated and couldn't express her excitement in any gorgeous sentences, so she said yes repeatedly.

After being happy for a while, she said again: "Kun'er, write a letter to your dad quickly and tell him the good news. Your dad will definitely be very happy if he knows that you have gone to work in a publishing house."

But Zhou Chen said nonchalantly: "If my brother and my sister went to work in a publishing house, he would be extremely happy. As for me, he would definitely think that I can't do a good job. He would be more worried than happy."

"Nonsense."

Li Suhua gave Zhou Chen a look, "Your dad is not like what you said. The main reason is that you were too ignorant before and just knew how to mess around all day long."

Zhou Chen didn't refute, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart.

To be honest, among the three children of the Zhou family, he is the least favored one, not only because of his bad studies in the past, but also because of his personality.

As the eldest son, Zhou Bingyi is sensible and obedient, while Zhou Rong, as the only daughter, is proficient in acting coquettishly and cutely, and is very good at pleasing Zhou Zhigang.

Zhou Bingkun's character is very similar to Zhou Zhigang's, stubborn, especially stubborn;

He is a typical person who accepts soft words rather than hard words. He knows clearly that there may be something wrong with him, but he is unwilling to accept soft words.

It is difficult for people of the same personality to get along when they meet together, let alone a father and son. This is the main reason why Zhou Zhigang has a bad attitude towards Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou Bingkun didn't understand it before, but Zhou Chen has lived for so many years, and he can still see the problem between father and son very clearly.

"Mom, can we get a bicycle ticket at home? The publishing house is a bit far from our home, and it would be too slow to commute to get off work. I want to get a bicycle."

Bicycles are a big item in this era. Not only are they expensive, but you also need a bicycle ticket to buy them.

Zhou Zhigang was the only one working in the Zhou family before. Li Suhua only helped earn points on the street. The family actually didn't have much savings.

"Kun'er, you are right. How can you go to work in a publishing house without a bicycle? There are no bicycles at home, but my mother knows a lot of people in the street office. I will go see if I can apply for it tomorrow. Or ask someone for help and get a bicycle ticket.”

Unlike Zhou Chen who thought about the convenience of commuting to and from get off work, Li Suhua thought about face issues. People of their generation are used to walking on legs, whether they have bicycles or not.

But her son is different. Her youngest son is about to go to work in a publishing house. This is a very respectable job. Looking at the entire phototype, is there any child who has a better job than her youngest son?

No, not one of them. If you are a descendant of workers and engage in the work of a cultural person, then you have dignity.

Such a good job must be equipped with a bicycle to make it more dignified.

"Can I get it?"

Li Suhua said: "Leave this matter to mom, don't think so much, you will have to report the day after tomorrow, you have to prepare well, there are still cloth tickets at home, I see if I can get you a new dress in time, the publisher It’s different from the factory, and I don’t know if they will give you work clothes.”

Zhou Chen said indifferently: "I'm really not sure about this. In fact, it doesn't matter what you wear. The most important thing about work is ability."

"Okay, Mom knows what to do. You do your thing and then go to work. Mom can handle the housework alone."

Li Suhua's preference for his eldest son and daughter before was actually influenced to some extent by Zhou Zhigang. Zhou Zhigang felt that his eldest son and daughter were promising, but his younger son was not, so in comparison, he naturally didn't pay much attention to his younger son.

Zhou Zhigang's partiality is actually very obvious. Take the marriage of three children in the TV series as an example.

The eldest son's father-in-law's family despised him so much. After twenty years of marriage, neither side of the family had seen each other, but he was just dissatisfied and did not show any more.

Not to mention Zhou Rong, look at the things she did and the words she said. For a man who was more than ten years older, she even gave up her home, and even said such ruthless and ruthless words as severing ties. Words come.

This is absolutely treasonous for a daughter.

But what did Zhou Zhigang do in the end?

Instead, he ran all the way over and took the initiative to reconcile with his daughter. When he heard the words of severing ties, he just laughed it off.

Let's look at how he treated Zhou Bingkun. Zhou Bingkun only mentioned Zheng Juan a little bit, but he kicked her down and cursed her loudly.

Why can he hold back when facing his eldest son and daughter, but cannot hold back when facing his younger son?

It's nothing more than two words, partiality.

Look at everything Zhou Bingkun does for the family in the TV series. In the end, it is not as good as Zhou Rong who does nothing. He is not so biased.

It has been like this for more than ten years. Zhou Chen doesn't think that Zhou Zhigang will change his mind if he finds a good job.

Zhou Zhigang is an extremely stubborn person, the kind of person who clearly knows that he is wrong, but is unwilling to admit his mistakes in order to maintain his father's image.

But unfortunately, his stubbornness only targets his younger son, but he is extremely tolerant of his eldest son and daughter.

A few decades later, wouldn't this be a double-standard behavior?

In other families, the youngest child is more favored, but in the Zhou family, this phenomenon is reversed.

The next day, Li Suhua cooked breakfast early in the morning, called Zhou Chen and went out, and didn't come back until noon.

"Kun."

"Why."

Li Suhua happily took out a ticket and said, "Let's see what mom brings you."

Zhou Chen opened his eyes and saw that it was a bill.

Without waiting for Zhou Chen to show anything, Li Suhua said the answer excitedly: "Bicycle ticket, look, mom got you a bicycle ticket. With this ticket, you can buy a bicycle. Are you happy?" .”

Zhou Chen has owned tens of millions of dollars in luxury cars. A bicycle is not enough to make Zhou Chen happy, but in order to cooperate with Li Suhua, he still pretended to be very happy.

"Wow, Mom, you are so awesome. How did you get this bicycle ticket? I heard that it is very difficult to get."

The old lady said proudly: "Your mother and I are street activists. It's not easy to get a bicycle ticket."

In fact, the origin of this bicycle ticket is not as simple as she said.

In order to get this bicycle ticket, she took out some of the food stamps and cloth stamps at home, and then exchanged them with others for this bicycle ticket, which was a bit of a loss.

"You keep your bicycle ticket and the money. You can buy a bicycle later and you can ride to work tomorrow."

Zhou Chen saw Li Suhua take out a handful of zero votes and couldn't help but ask: "Mom, isn't this the living expenses dad left for you? Why did you give it all to me?"

Li Suhua: "I still have some left. I heard that bicycles cost more than 100. We work in a publishing house, so we can't buy cheap ones, we have to buy famous brands. You don't have to worry about living expenses. Your dad will send them back regularly. Besides, Aren’t you going to work soon? You’ll be paid soon. There are only two of us in the family, so we can’t afford much food.”

"Mom, you are quite vain." Zhou Chen said with a smile.

Li Suhua rolled her eyes at him and said confidently: "You went to work in a publishing house. You are worthy of pride. Among us children of phototypes, who else has a better job than you? My son has become successful. As a mother, of course Be happy."

"As long as you're happy."

Bicycle tickets and banknotes were ready. After dinner, Zhou Chen took Li Suhua to the Friendship Store to buy a bicycle.

Zhou Chen meant to just buy any one, but when the results arrived, Li Suhua insisted on buying a good one, so he finally bought a Forever brand bicycle, which cost more than 140.

In this era when the average salary is only in the teens and 20s, a bicycle worth nearly 150 is really a big deal.

Li Suhua was even happier than Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen took her on a bicycle all the way back to the optical film.

"Stop, stop."

Li Suhua called Zhou Chen to stop. Zhou Chen braked and looked at Li Suhua with some confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Li Suhua said: "Walk back."

"Walking back?"

Zhou Chen was a little confused. He had a bicycle, why did he have to walk back?

But he soon found out why.

"Sister, is this a bicycle you just bought? It's a permanent brand."

"Yeah, our Kun'er has found a job, so I'm thinking about buying him a bicycle. I can't just walk to and from get off work every day."

"Hey, I remember that Bingkun is only seventeen this year, right? He has already been assigned a job?"

"No, our Kun'er didn't trouble the street leaders. It wasn't the assigned job. It was the publishing house, Jiangliao Publishing House, who found out that our Kun'er had the material to be an editor, so he was recruited to work at the publishing house. "

"The publishing house is a good state-owned enterprise, but what does an editor do? Does it have a staff?"

"Of course it is compiled. Editing is the job of writing articles and poems."

"Oh, that's incredible. Isn't that a cultural person? Sister, you are so lucky. Your eldest son and daughter are so sensible. Now Bingkun has also found a good job. Just wait and enjoy the blessings."

"This is all for the children to strive for their own success. As a mother, I am uneducated and can't teach anything."

"Mom Bingkun, I just bought a bicycle. Oh my god, it looks so good."

"It's not bad. It's for Kuner to ride to and from get off work."

"Hey, Bingkun is at work too."

"Yes, the children have grown up in a blink of an eye, and our Kun'er is working in a publishing house."

"Publishing house, that's a good company. I've been able to tell since I was a child that Bingkun is different from the rough guys like us. Just look at his appearance and you can tell he's educated."

"…………"

Along the way, whenever someone spoke to him, Li Suhua would stop and chat with them for a while. Zhou Chen had to smile the whole time and felt that the muscles on his face were stiff from laughter.

Now he finally understands why Li Suhua had to get out of the car and walk home after arriving at the boundary of the photo album. She wanted to show off her co-authorship.

It was not a very long journey, and I walked for nearly an hour. As I was about to arrive home, I met an acquaintance.

"Bingkun's mother."

"Hey, sister, what a coincidence."

The two people walking towards him, one of whom Zhou Chen had seen before, was Aunt Qiao who had been to his house, and the other was a girl wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket, Qiao Chunyan.

After Qiao Chunyan saw Zhou Chen, she greeted him very warmly: "Brother Bingkun."

Zhou Chen replied calmly: "Chun Yan."

Qiao Chunyan is one of the most outstanding supporting actresses in this drama, and she has a lot of roles.

In the play, Qiao Chunyan has a free and bold personality and is willing to help others. However, later on, she becomes a bit dark and becomes a selfish villain who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.

In fact, this change is not sudden. Some people can only share adversity, but not wealth.

Qiao Chunyan has this characteristic. When she is better than others and lives better than others, she can continue to give and help wholeheartedly.

But once she saw that others had a better life than her and her interests were touched, she immediately turned against them.

As for the things she did in the later stages of the TV series, that is, the TV series, how could she be forgiven if it were placed in reality.

But at this time, Qiao Chunyan was still a girl, a few months younger than Zhou Chen.

Qiao Chunyan did not see Zhou Chen's indifference, but happily walked to Zhou Chen's side and wanted to hold Zhou Chen's arm, but Zhou Chen calmly avoided her.

Qiao Chunyan didn't take it seriously and asked, "Brother Bingkun, I haven't seen you out playing much lately. What have you been doing lately?"

The photo was so big, and the two houses were so close together that they could not be seen without looking up, so she felt strange that she had not seen Zhou Chen for more than a month.

"It's nothing. I'm reading at home recently."

"Hey, Brother Bingkun, are you lying to me? Can you still read?"

Qiao Chunyan suddenly laughed disdainfully. There were only a few people among them who could read. She and Zhou Bingkun went to school together, so she naturally knew what level Zhou Bingkun was.

Li Suhua became unhappy after hearing this. She said with a proud face: "Chunyan, you don't know. Our Kun'er has been reading at home recently. Sister, you don't know, Bingkun has already found a job." ”

Chunyan's mother looked confused: "Bingkun was assigned? Why didn't I hear about it?"

She works on the street and is very well-informed, but she hasn't heard that Zhou Chen has assigned any work.

Li Suhua was even more proud after hearing this: "Our Bingkun is not assigned a job, nor does he go to work in the factory. He works at Jiangliao Publishing House, and he has to report tomorrow morning. No, this is to make it convenient for him to commute to get off work. , I just bought a bicycle, a permanent one."

The relationship between the two families is very good, but it is also because of the good relationship that Li Suhua wants to show off even more.

"Ouch, is it true?"

Chunyan's mother and Qiao Chunyan were both in disbelief. If it was Zhou Bingyi or Zhou Rong who went to work in the publishing house, they would still be somewhat convinced.

But Zhou Bingkun, are you kidding me?

Seeing their questioning, Li Suhua suddenly became unhappy: "Sister, I can still lie to you. Bingkun, take out that note and show it to your aunt."

Zhou Chen felt helpless: "Mom, I didn't bring the note, I'm at home."

Chunyan's mother looked at Zhou Chen suspiciously: "Bingkun, is what your mother said true? Are you really going to work at the publishing house tomorrow?"

She is an activist who works in the streets. She knows a little more about Jiangliao Publishing House than others. You can tell from the name alone that this is a key state-owned unit in the province and she is engaged in cultural work. She is born with it. Compared to the dignity of being a coolie.

Feudal society has only been in the past few decades, and the status of scholars is still very high in the eyes of ordinary people.

Zhou Chen replied: "Well, Auntie, everything my mother said is true."

"Brother Bingkun, you are too awesome."

Qiao Chunyan's voice was loud. She stared at Zhou Chen with big eyes, full of brilliance.

Zhou Chenfeng said calmly: "Luck, good luck, Mom, let's go back."

Li Suhua saw the expression she wanted to see from the old sisters' expressions, and felt extremely proud.

"Sister, let's go back first. Bingkun will go to work tomorrow, and I have to help him clean up. After all, it is the child's first day at work, and he must leave a good impression on the leader."

"Yes, yes, yes, Bingkun mother, then go back and get ready."

Chunyan's mother said goodbye with a smile on her face, but after Zhou Chen and Li Suhua moved away, her smile instantly faded, revealing a depressed look.

"It's really weird. That kid Bingkun was often beaten by his father for studying when he was a child. How can he work in a publishing house?"

Qiao Chunyan was also very confused: "Yes, when Brother Bingkun was in school, his academic performance was not as good as mine."

Chunyan's mother looked at her daughter, and suddenly a thought came to her mind. If Zhou Bingkun was really promising, wouldn't it be...

Zhou Chen believed that the news about him going to work in a publishing house would spread throughout the entire optical film industry before tomorrow.

The power of gossip is terrifying.

On the second day, Zhou Chen put on clean clothes, rode a bicycle, and set off from Guangzi Film.

"Bingkun, are you going to work in a publishing house?"

"The bike is nice, Bingkun."

"Bingkun, you have brought glory to our optical film, do a good job."

"…………"

The neighbors today were obviously too enthusiastic. When Zhou Chen went out before, although some people said hello, they were just greetings.

But today, everyone greeted them with smiles, teased, and even tried to please them, which was completely different from their previous attitude.

Zhou Chen quickly drove away from Guangzi Film and rode for a long time before arriving at Jiangliao Publishing House.

The working environment of Jiangliao Publishing House is a three-story building. Last time it was just outside, but this time it was inside, and the senses were different.

"Bingkun, here."

As soon as Zhou Chen parked his bicycle, he heard someone calling him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Shao Jingwen.

"Teacher Shao, are you waiting for me?"

Shao Jingwen smiled and said, "Of course, it's your first day at work. I'll help you get familiar with the environment. Follow me."

Under the leadership of Shao Jingwen, Zhou Chen first went to meet the president of the publishing house.

Originally, he, a newly hired employee, did not need to meet the top leadership of the publishing house, but the president wanted to meet Zhou Chen, so he took the initiative to ask Shao Jingwen to bring him over.

The president's surname was Wang. He was in his fifties and seemed quite amiable. After meeting Zhou Chen, he asked some questions and Zhou Chen answered them calmly.

President Wang was very satisfied with Zhou Chen's performance. After chatting for a while, he asked Shao Jingwen to take Zhou Chen to familiarize himself with the job.
