Chapter 902 Silly Zhu’s Hostility, Borrowing Money
In the back row of the car, Zhou Chen and He Yuzhu were sitting on both sides. Zhou Chen closed his eyes and rested, while He Yuzhu couldn't sit still. He looked forward and out the window for a while, and finally his eyes fell on Zhou Chen.
"I really didn't realize that you can actually play chess?"
Zhou Chen opened his eyes and glanced at He Yuzhu: "What, can't you?"
He Yuzhu said disdainfully: "The big boss just praised you a few words to make you proud."
"He Yuzhu, actually I don't understand why you insist on targeting me. There doesn't seem to be any conflict between you and me. It's not like I said a few words to Xu Damao and had a meal together, and you just Are you unhappy with me?"
This is indeed a bit strange for Zhou Chen. There is no conflict between him and He Yuzhu at all. If Xu Damao is the person He Yuzhu likes, then that's it.
But the problem is that Xu Damao and He Yuzhu are hostile enemies. Just because he talks to and eats with Xu Damao, does he feel unhappy?
This is really far-fetched.
But he also knew that He Yuzhu's thinking was a little different from that of normal people. After all, a man who didn't even care about his biological son but insisted on taking care of the widow's children couldn't be considered normal in his thinking.
He Yuzhu's face darkened. Of course it wasn't because of this. Zhou Chen had a good relationship with Xu Damao. At most, he felt that Zhou Chen had bad eyesight and couldn't tell the difference between a good person and a good person.
What he was really unhappy with Zhou Chen was that he felt that Qin Huairu seemed to treat Zhou Chen a little differently. He saw Qin Huairu going to Zhou Chen's house to talk to Zhou Chen several times at night.
Over the years, he has become accustomed to Qin Huairu helping him wash and rinse, and he is also vaguely attracted to Qin Huairu in his heart, but he has not thought about being with Qin Huairu.
But even so, he saw that Zhou Chen and Qin Huairu got along well, and he and Zhou Chen had two fights, and Qin Huairu still favored Zhou Chen, which made him feel very unhappy, very unhappy, so he also treated Zhou Chen. It becomes more and more unpleasant to the eye.
Maybe he himself didn't realize this, but it showed naturally in what he did.
"I just don't like you. What's wrong? Who is Xu Damao? If you hang out with him, can you be a good person?"
Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold and he warned with a cold tone: "He Yuzhu, you don't like me, and I also don't like you. In this case, we have nothing to say. You'd better not mess with me in the future, otherwise I guarantee you’ll be worse off than the last two times.”
He didn't have a good impression of He Yuzhu to begin with, but after hearing He Yuzhu's words, he was too lazy to talk nonsense to him.
"snort."
He Yuzhu also snorted coldly and stopped looking at Zhou Chen.
In fact, Zhou Chen is tall and handsome, and he is a respected doctor in the factory. He is a man of the hour and can be the center of attention wherever he goes, so he is somewhat jealous.
He was in the kitchen, and because of his good skills, the entire kitchen was accommodating to him. Even the director of the canteen did not take him seriously. In the courtyard, he was a man of the hour who could arm-wrestle with three uncles.
He was not a very open-minded person to begin with. When Zhou Chen came back, he stole his limelight and even beat him up. He only had problems if he could get used to Zhou Chen.
The lanes of Nanluogu Lane are relatively spacious, so the car drove all the way to the entrance of No. 95 Courtyard.
As soon as Zhou Chen got off the car, he saw Qin Huairu standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Hey, Zhou Chen, why did you come back in the same car with He Yuzhu? Where have you been?"
Qin Huairu was very surprised to see Zhou Chen coming back by car with He Yuzhu. The car delivery was one thing, but the bigger surprise was that Zhou Chen actually came back with He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu said loudly: "Where else can I go to cook for others?"
When he went to cook, Qin Huairu was not surprised, but Zhou Chen was surprised.
"Go see someone."
Zhou Chen replied, and then walked into the yard.
He Yuzhu muttered dissatisfiedly from behind: "What's so impressive about him? He just knows how to see a doctor. That's amazing. I'm also a chef."
Qin Huairu knew He Yuzhu best and said with a smile: "Yes, who are you, Chef Silly Zhu."
He Yuzhu suddenly raised his head proudly, but Qin Huairu's next words made him unhappy again.
"Your lunch box."
"Hey, you're only thinking about me? Come on, I'll give you half of it, okay?"
Qin Huairu asked with a smile: "Then what if I still want my other half?"
He Yuzhu said: "Then it depends on whether you can eliminate the misunderstanding between me and Teacher Ran."
Several months have passed since the beginning of the year, but he still thinks about Teacher Ran, because Teacher Ran is considered the best among the women he has met, so he has always had illusions.
"Then you don't miss my cousin anymore?"
"Give it back to your cousin. Look what your cousin did. He left without saying goodbye. Who is he? A person lives for one breath, and a Buddha burns a stick of incense. If you don't take me seriously, then I can't take you seriously either. It’s okay, your cousin’s matter is over.”
"What about Teacher Ran?"
"That situation is different. There was a misunderstanding between Teacher Ran and me. It was caused by the third uncle. The situation is different."
"Okay, I understand. Let me ask you, where were you today? Why did you come back with Zhou Chen? Or were you brought back by a special car?"
Although He Yuzhu was quick to talk, he didn't dare to say what Director Yang specifically told him.
"Not going anywhere."
"can not say?"
"Let's go back first."
Qin Huairu was still very measured. One look at He Yuzhu's expression and knew that this matter could not be discussed, so he stopped asking.
Zhou Chen stood at the door, watching Qin Huairu happily carrying several lunch boxes, and seeing He Yuzhu's proud look on his face, he felt filled with emotion.
It has to be said that Qin Huairu's methods are really high. He Yuzhu, a man who has never even touched a woman, is no match for him, and he was picked up in just a few words.
If this attitude continues, as long as Qin Huairu thinks about it, it will be impossible for He Yuzhu to escape from her grasp.
After meeting the big boss this time, both Zhou Chen and He Yuzhu left a deep impression on the big boss. Later, he was invited over again, and He Yuzhu also went to help cook.
After several contacts, He Yuzhu relied on his excellent skills to get along very well with the big leaders, and he also learned to play Go, so that after meeting Zhou Chen later, He Yuzhu always put on a proud expression.
…………
As soon as Zhou Chen got off work that day, the third uncle Yan Bugui came to his door.
"Zhou Chen, it's a happy event, a great event."
Zhou Chen looked at the excited third uncle in surprise, and asked in confusion: "Third uncle, what kind of happy event makes you so happy?"
The third uncle said with a smile: "It's not my happy event, it's your happy event."
"Me? Why are you so happy?"
"Do you still remember what I told you before, about Teacher Ran? I have already spoken to Teacher Ran, and she said that she can meet you. Do you think this is a happy event?"
"That's it?"
Zhou Chen didn't show any joy, which made the third uncle confused: "What? Isn't this a big happy event? You know, that boy Silly Zhu, in order to be good with Teacher Ran, even begged grandpa to sue grandma. It didn't work out. As soon as Teacher Renran heard that she was meeting with you, she agreed without much hesitation. I can see that she has a very good impression of you, and you guys have a chance to develop together."
Zhou Chen said: "Third uncle, I really appreciate your kindness, but now I really haven't thought about dating a partner. Now, all my energy is focused on studying medical skills, and I plan to think about it in two years." About getting married.”
"Consider it again in two years? Zhou Chen, what are you talking about? You are already twenty-five or six this year. How many people at your age are not married yet? In our courtyard, only that brat like Silly Zhu is still single. Look, you are much better than him, but you can’t imitate him.”
The third uncle couldn't understand Zhou Chen's thoughts. If it were another man, he wouldn't be happy to hear that Teacher Ran was willing to meet.
But Zhou Chen, on the other hand, didn't look happy at all, and was even ready to refuse.
"Don't you think that you, the boy, look down on Mr. Ran?"
"Third uncle, it's not what you think. I really don't think about my life-long events like I do now. What's more, it's only been a year since my father passed away. It has to be three years later."
"Hey, you have old ideas. This is a new era, so we don't care about these things."
The ancients emphasized observing filial piety for three years and not holding any happy events within three years, but in modern times, many people no longer care about this.
Zhou Chen said again: "Third uncle, please don't try to persuade me. I have already decided."
He had thought about finding a woman to live in this world, but Teacher Ran was not his cup of tea. He didn't want to delay her, so he expressed his thoughts directly.
The Third Master was very angry: "You, tell me, what is this? I finally managed to explain it to Teacher Ran, but you are not happy anymore. Hey, I am meddling in other people's business."
Zhou Chen stepped forward and grabbed him: "Third uncle, don't worry. Although I don't plan to meet, you have worked so hard to help me. I can't not express it. The meat I just bought yesterday is not suitable for the hot weather now." If you keep it for a long time, take some back with you."
The third uncle, who was angry just a second ago, suddenly turned into a smiling face, just like changing his face in a Sichuan opera.
"Is this good?"
Seeing that he was acting like a good boy after getting an advantage, Zhou Chen said angrily: "Then, forget it?"
The third uncle grabbed Zhou Chen with his backhand: "How can that be done? A manly man, every spit and nail, he must keep his word."
Zhou Chen shook off his hand: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who goes back on my word. Follow me into the house and I'll give it to you."
After a while, Yan Bugui left Zhou Chen's house with a happy face, carrying three taels of meat.
Zhou Chen still prefers to deal with the third uncle. As long as you give him some benefits, he can be easily persuaded. Moreover, the third uncle has a good personality, so they can get along well.
On the contrary, Zhou Chen was not very willing to deal with the first uncle who was more popular in the courtyard. As for the second uncle, let alone him, he was a proper villain.
Time flies by and summer is here in a blink of an eye.
There are no patients today. Zhou Chen is sitting in the infirmary, holding a medical book and reading it carefully.
However, his mind was not entirely focused on the medical books. He was thinking about recent events.
The appearance of his little butterfly had no ability to change the course of history. Many things happened that were supposed to happen.
In recent days, he has obviously felt that the atmosphere in the factory has changed. Yesterday, Director Yang specially called him to the office and told him to be careful and careful in his words and deeds recently. If something happens, he must report it first. Ask him for a moment and he will help.
Although Factory Director Yang usually puts on airs and talks in an official tone, he is still a very nice person. At least Zhou Chen has known him for half a year and has never seen him do anything bad, and he is very nice to him. of care.
In fact, there is no need for Director Yang to remind Zhou Chen himself to be cautious in his words and deeds. This is not the first time he has lived in the 1960s and 1970s, so he is pretty good at how to protect himself.
Due to the change in the direction of the wind, some changes have also taken place in the factory. Of course, these are all changes in the factory leadership. The working class below has not changed much. They are still working hard, going to and from get off work...
After working for a month, Zhou Chen had a rare day off today. He did not go out, but stayed at home and read.
"Zhou Chen, you're at home."
"Uncle Zhang."
Zhou Chen stood up: "Uncle Zhang, come on, sit down."
Uncle Zhang sat down next to Zhou Chen, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
As soon as Zhou Chen saw it, he knew something must have happened to him, so he took the initiative to ask: "Uncle Zhang, is there something wrong with you?"
Then Uncle Zhang said: "There is something I want to ask you for help with."
"Uncle Zhang, don't say please. During this period, you and Aunt Li have been helping me with washing and washing. You have watched me grow up. If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help. .”
"Oh, it's not me, but my girl's family..."
Uncle Zhang explained the reason to Zhou Chen. It turned out that something happened to Uncle Zhang's eldest son-in-law. Although the eldest daughter was not implicated, it was difficult for a woman to live with a child, so Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li planned to move Go to the eldest daughter's house to take care of her.
But the problem is that all their family's money has been used by their eldest daughter. Now they are very short of money, so they came to Zhou Chen to borrow money.
After hearing this, Zhou Chen sighed lightly. He knew that this matter was inevitable, so he made his attitude clear without asking in detail.
"Uncle Zhang, how much do you want?"
"I……"
Uncle Zhang didn’t know what to say. He and his wife worked for him. When their two daughters got married, they prepared their dowries themselves, so now they basically have no savings. However, the situation of the eldest daughter’s family is very different. It's very special. A family needs to live, and this cannot be solved with one or two dollars.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen knew something in his mind: "Uncle Zhang, I don't know how much money you want, but I can only give you a thousand at most. If it's not enough, I'll help you think of a way."
"one thousand?"
Uncle Zhang was stunned. He originally just wanted to borrow one or two hundred, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
But he didn't expect Zhou Chen to open his mouth and ask for a thousand yuan. He couldn't earn a thousand yuan without eating or drinking for two years.
Zhou Chen frowned: "Isn't it enough?"
"Enough, enough, no, too much, you don't need that much at all."
Uncle Zhang reacted and said hurriedly.
"Is that enough?"
Zhou Chen asked. He also knew what a thousand dollars meant in this era, but in the past half year or so, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li had really taken care of him a lot. If someone else, even the third uncle with whom he had a good relationship, came to borrow it, he would He wouldn't say so much, but he was still willing to borrow it from the old couple.
Uncle Zhang nodded vigorously and said, "You don't need that much, Zhou Chen. If you are willing, just lend me three hundred. If it's more, I won't be able to pay you back."
"Uncle, why are you saying this? I will get you the money now."
Zhou Chen walked to the back room and hid all his money for safety reasons. No one knew where to put it except himself.
