Chapter 29: The Zhou Family's Past and Present Life
Chen Can took Xiao Guoqing to his house, and then took out his radio in a hurry.
At this time, Zhou Bingkun's house was very lively, his parents and eldest brother and sister-in-law were there, and when they saw Xiao Guoqing entering the house, they hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
After learning that Xiao Guoqing was coming, several people in the room looked at Chen Can's eyes, and they were all a little strange.
Especially his father Zhou Zhigang, he looked at him with scrutiny and suspicion.
After all, in this father's mind, he, the third child, is honest and his head is not smart, where will he fix any radio?
Chen Can naturally knew that his sudden change would cause some doubts among others.
But the Zhou family, this reunion, it can be said, has been separated for seven years, seven years, enough to change too many things.
It can also be said that in seven years, there are too many things to cover up.
No matter how big the changes in Zhou Bingkun are, they can be explained in seven years.
So Chen Can just said to his family while cleaning up the table.
"Dad, don't underestimate me, people say don't be a taxi for three days, you should be impressed, you haven't seen me for seven years, how do you know that I can't repair the radio? Secretary Qu of our factory educated us very early on, asking us not to forget to learn new knowledge, enrich ourselves, and always think about contributing to the country! ”
Chen Can's big truth came out, so much so that the Zhou family was stunned, and they were all frightened.
Only Xiao Guoqing touched the back of his head, and always felt that Zhou Bingkun was a little different today, after all, they went to work, got off work, and were basically together every day, what is Zhou Bingkun's ability, can he not know?
As soon as Xiao Guoqing wanted to speak, he was glared back by Chen Can's eyes!
Chen Can has long prevented Xiao Guoqing, this kid from withdrawing from the stage, so naturally he won't give him a chance to speak!
Chen Can cleaned up an empty table, and in the presence of everyone, Ma Li took out the radio.
This radio, with a very typical 60s style, has a red five-pointed star on it, which is a semiconductor tube radio produced by a wireless factory in the 60s.
The household appliances of this era, the process is actually very simple, not at all high, a little bit of electronic technology, all understand those principles, and even 20 years have not changed!
However, this most rudimentary process assembly, but the quality is extremely reliable, and the workmanship is extremely solid, the overall shell of the machine, decorated with aluminum alloy, the whole is very thick and firm.
In later generations, there is rarely a radio that has been used for eleven years, but in this era, it is very common, and the one in front of me is the product of eleven years ago!
Chen Can found a small screwdriver at home, this screwdriver is a bit big, but in Chen Can's hands, it is extremely light, and he quickly dismantled the entire radio shell, revealing the electronic components inside.
Chen Can's swift movements, like a master for many years, everyone who saw this scene opened their eyes wide, a little incredulous.
Although Xiao Guoqing was also a little surprised by Chen Can's movements, he knew the details of Chen Can, for fear that Chen Can would break the radio, so he stepped forward and said in a nervous tone.
"Bingkun, you have to be careful!"
Chen Cantou didn't reply, his movements didn't stop, he gently checked the wiring and electronic components inside.
He naturally knew what Xiao Guoqing was worried about, this thing was not cheap in this era, the radio in his hand was priced at 78 yuan back then, and it was the 60s!
Of course, spending two or three months' salary to buy a radio is also considered a big item in the family, and after more than ten years, this transaction is not too much of a loss.
He really didn't feel the slightest pressure to fix this thing, and he had just acquired advanced electrical repair skills, and when he saw the radio on the table, it was like seeing a small toy.
He is not only thinking about how to repair it, but also how to modify it to make this radio signal better and the frequency tuning more accurate!
Chen Can took a clean rag, and then relied on the small screwdriver in his hand to clean up the rust spots on the electronic components little by little.
This radio, indeed, was a bit of a problem, with one component scorching and a slight loosening of the solder joint.
Chen Can leaned on a screwdriver and carefully began to clean up, the electronic components on it, in his eyes, are the simplest lines, and he can even modify them at will, and it will not change its own function.
Advanced electrical maintenance technology is really awesome, and even Chen Can can be half-hearted, and still has the mind to ask the system in his mind, after he returns to the real world, can this technology be retained?
When he got the answer he wanted, the corners of Chen Can's mouth hooked up a touch!
Sure enough, this skill is permanent, and from now on, my life will be completely different.
Advanced electrical maintenance technology is only the first technology, and you will have a more colorful life in the future.
Maybe after having this craft, after returning to reality, even if you set up a stall and rely on the maintenance of air conditioners and refrigerators, you can also make a living!
For a full twenty minutes, Chen Can used a small screwdriver and a rag to clean and repair the radio in front of him, and even made a small renovation in a few small places.
With the right tools and accessories, he felt like he could assemble a more powerful gadget, and now he had to make do with it.
Reinstalling the case, Chen Can turned on the radio, and there was a rustling sound from the FM, but then, a clean and unadulterated sound came from the radio.
"Children, "Little Trumpet" has started broadcasting! Tick, tick......"
"This is the ...... of the Central People's Radio"
The sound was so crisp, there was almost no signal interference, and everyone looked at Chen Can with disbelief.
Chen Can changed two more radio stations, and sure enough, the sound was very clear, this is definitely not like a radio, an eleven-year-old radio, even better than a brand new radio experience!
Among them, Xiao Guoqing was stunned!
His father's radio, he almost heard it since he was a child, when he was a child, he was greedy for fun, and he fell twice, and the result was that the signal began to deteriorate, and every time he played the radio, there was a noise, and even inexplicably tuned his own frequency.
And now, this crisp and clean radio sound makes Xiao Guoqing feel like hearing the sound of heaven, listening to the kind of radio mixed with rustling sound for a long time, and then hearing this crisp sound without noise, it is really a pleasure for the ears!
Xiao Guoqing was even more surprised that Zhou Bingkun, who grew up together, could repair the radio?
When did he learn this technique?
Secretary Qu of their soy sauce factory did teach them to read more, learn more new knowledge, and even signed them up for English cram schools, but Xiao Guoqing's poor foundation and family burden made him in no mood to study at all, so he has always been the same.
In his opinion, Zhou Bingkun and him are almost carved out of the same mold, only one junior high school is in the first year of junior high school, and his academic performance is a mess, usually after work, he basically mixes with a few of his own people, when did he learn the technology?
Suddenly, he felt that this little hair, which he had been familiar with since childhood, was a little strange!
At this time, Zhou Bingkun's voice also interrupted his thoughts.
"National Day, how's it going? Satisfied! ”
Xiao Guoqing hurriedly came to his senses, grinned, and nodded hurriedly.
"Satisfied, satisfied, Bingkun, your skills are better than Liu Cripple, I don't have to worry about it in the future, this is no longer broken!"
Chen Can smiled, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly beckoned to him.
"And what are you waiting for, money?"
Xiao Guoqing remembered something, and hurriedly took out the five yuan that Chen Can had borrowed from his pocket before.
Chen Can took the money in his hand, snorted, stuffed it into his pocket, and said angrily.
"It's cheap, you kid, I saved you eight dollars!"
Xiao Guoqing then remembered, really, if he went to Liu Cripple's repair, he would have to pay eight yuan, thinking of this, Xiao Guoqing suddenly became happy, and he couldn't wait to put away the radio, and said to Chen Can.
"Bingkun, thank you, when we get together in the third year of junior high school, I will send the radio back to my dad first, he has been nagging about this for a few months!"
Chen Can agreed, waved his hand, and sent Xiao Guoqing out of the door.
The reason why he decided to exchange for electrical maintenance technology is also very simple, this thing can not only make some extra money secretly in this era, but after a few years, he may be able to make a lot of money with this craft!
In Zhou Bingkun's memory, the other party opened an electrical repair shop in the early eighties, and later opened an electrical appliance shopping mall, and at the end of the eighties, he was already a millionaire.
In the eighties and nineties, with technology and brains, it was really not difficult to get rich.
I remembered that I was the first to cross the world, and I only stayed for a hundred days, and I made millions, not to mention, my own enhanced electrical maintenance technology.
Chen Canmei thought about it, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw that several people in the family had taken a fancy to him.
The mother stepped forward with a happy face, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled to boast that her son was really capable.
Although Zhou Zhigang didn't say anything, his face was relieved, compared to the poker face last night, it was much more relaxed!
There is no parent who is not happy to see that the child is capable.
What's more, it is still the third son of the Zhou family, Chen Can has shown his face to his family this time.
I haven't seen him for seven years, and the original impression of Zhou's father and eldest brother Zhou Bingyi on Zhou Bingkun has always stayed seven years ago.
At that time, Zhou Bingkun was the only one in the family who didn't like to study, and his academic performance was also the bottom, and he stayed in the city to take care of his mother later.
first in the lumber factory, and later in the soy sauce factory, they are all doing coolie work, such Zhou Bingkun, compared with his two older brothers and sisters, the gap is too big.
So Zhou Bingkun's impression of the Zhou family is that he is wooden, stupid, and obedient!
Such Zhou Bingkun is the best housekeeper in the Zhou family, whether it is Zhou's father, or the eldest brother, or even the second sister Zhou Rong in the future.
They all hope that Zhou Bingkun will take good care of his parents at home, put filial piety first, and stay at home with peace of mind.
But in fact, Zhou Bingkun is actually very eager to prove himself and also hopes to have his own world.
In the second half of Zhou Bingkun's life, he took care of his parents diligently, and he was conscientious to his brothers and sisters, and the children of the second sister Zhou Rong lived in his house for ten years!
Even Zheng Juan and Luo Shibin's children, he raised them as his own children!
What did he get as a result?
Nothing, almost everyone, take it all for granted!
Including his parents, eldest brother, second sister, and even the two children, they all took it all for granted!
He should take care of his parents, take care of his relatives, and stay in that dirty and broken piece of light!
His second sister Zhou Rong is a professor, and his eldest brother Zhou Bingyi is an official to the deputy ministerial level, and for the sake of justice, he inadvertently killed Luo Shibin and was sentenced to nine years in prison.
After being released from prison, in order to survive, he decided to buy a second-hand pickup truck to start a moving company, and as a result, he borrowed all his relatives and friends for 60,000 yuan!
In this kind of life, Zhou Bingkun has never complained in front of anyone.
But people's hearts, after all, are made of meat, and they still feel sorry for themselves!
In his later years, he was desolate, and he often felt sad for his life, and he wanted to live for himself once!
Therefore, now Chen Can accepted Zhou Bingkun's entrustment!
In this life, Chen Can decided that he wanted to live the kind of life he wanted, and his life would not be worse than anyone else.
So, then change them first and have a preconceived view of yourself!
With this performance, the Zhou family did find that this third child was a little different.
But that's obvious, and it's just getting started!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the second sister Zhou Rong and brother-in-law Feng Huacheng, who originally planned to go home, did not go home as scheduled, but had an accident because they changed trains halfway.
said it was an accident, but in fact, Feng Huacheng did it himself, because he died by himself, and almost harmed the whole Zhou family!
In Zhou Bingkun's memory, this accident also caused his mother Li Suhua to be greatly stimulated, triggering a cerebral hemorrhage, and finally becoming a vegetative person.
Zhou Bingkun actually doesn't have a good impression of this brother-in-law, this Feng Huacheng is seventeen years older than his second sister Zhou Rong!
Zhou Rong, who was still in junior high school at the time, corresponded with Feng Huacheng, and was finally attracted to him, in order to pursue the so-called love, followed Feng Huacheng's footsteps and went to the remote mountainous area of Guizhou to be an educated youth.
This Feng Huacheng, in Chen Can's opinion, is useless and a scholar!
Before being criticized, he was a so-called famous poet, and it was precisely because of this that he attracted an ignorant girl like Zhou Rong.
This is a little talented, but he has no political consciousness, but on the way home, because he wrote a poem, it caused a commotion, and finally was grabbed by the tail and criticized again.
After her mother learned the news, she was worried that something would happen to Feng Huacheng, and she was too excited, which eventually caused a cerebral hemorrhage and became a vegetative person.
Later, Feng Huacheng and Zhou Rong both returned to live in Yanjing, and Zhou Rong was admitted to the university and finally stayed in school to work.
And Feng Huacheng has also been in the limelight for a few years, first joined the Writers' Association, but after the poet's halo disappeared, he completely became a hypocrite chasing fame and fortune.
At that time, Feng Hua became a better life, and he began to become sleek, and even took the initiative to start giving gifts to the leader, becoming a real hypocrite.
Zhou Rong saw that her husband actually went to give gifts for the sake of the so-called reputation, which broke all her previous illusions.
One of the reasons why Zhou Rong likes Feng Huacheng is that Feng Huacheng used to be an idealist, the courage to give up everything for the sake of ideals, and his poor and horizontal temperament deeply attracted Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong has also always adhered to her own heart, and for the sake of the so-called ideal, she has become a fake Qinggao, and the two have become a perfect match.
But the ideal can't be eaten, but the life of the two of them is called a poor one, and even the daughter has been fostered in Zhou Bingkun's house.
Later, Zhou Rong couldn't stand this kind of life and couldn't accept the ordinariness of Feng Huacheng, and finally the two chose to divorce.
In the end, Zhou Rong married Cai Xiaoguang, who had pursued her since childhood, and the reason why she agreed to this was because Cai Xiaoguang's worth could support her Qinggao!
Cai Xiaoguang is actually a male version of Zhou Rong, who has liked Zhou Rong since he was a child, likes Zhou Rong's talent, and likes Zhou Rong's high age, even if Zhou Rong marries Feng Huacheng, he is silently concerned behind his back.
Cai Xiaoguang's family background can make him live a very chic life in his life, he has been a worker, a cadre, and finally a director, such Cai Xiaoguang can fully support Zhou Rong's ideals.
The life of the second sister Zhou Rong gave Zhou Bingkun the impression that she was extremely irresponsible!
In fact, the biggest credit for supporting Zhou Rong's ideals is Zhou Bingkun.
Without him to raise her daughter Feng Yue for Zhou Rong, how could Zhou Rong have the mood and time to pursue her ideals?
Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng, in the end, failed to come back during this Spring Festival.
The daughter and son-in-law never came home, which made the mother Li Suhua extremely sad, originally thinking that the family had not been reunited for seven years, and this year it was finally possible to reunite once, but this wish, this year, was not completed!
Despite this, this year, the Zhou family is still extremely warm, and it has also dispelled some melancholy.
As a family, eating, drinking, chattering, time flies.
The eldest brother Zhou Bingyi and his father Zhou Zhigang, although they felt the changes in Zhou Bingkun, they still did not forget to lecture him.
The content of this preaching is nothing more than the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law, since Chen Can was kicked in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this matter has become a thorn in the hearts of Father Zhou and the eldest brother.
Zhou's father persuaded him with good words, saying that if you are looking for a wife, you must be knowledgeable and reasonable, you must be able to manage things, and it is best to have a clean family and be clean and self-conscious.
Chen Can listened with his left ear, and came out with his right ear, when he didn't hear it!
As for the eldest brother Zhou Bingyi, he is also moved by affection and reason, and there is another important reason why he persuaded Chen Can not to marry a widow.
This reason is that when his wife Hao Dongmei was in the Corps, she fell into an ice well and became infertile for life.
Zhou Bingyi didn't dare to tell his parents about Hao Dongmei's infertility, but he still told Chen Can.
Because he hopes that his younger brother can understand him as an eldest brother, and his husband and wife can't have children, so the Zhou family can only rely on Zhou Bingkun if they want to inherit the family in the future.
That's why he hopes that Zhou Bingkun can marry a yellow flower girl in a down-to-earth manner and inherit the Zhou family.
In Chen Can's mind, he searched the exchange mall and found the medicine to treat Hao Dongmei's infertility, and asked for three crossing coins.
Chen Can was not reluctant to exchange these three crossing coins, but he didn't want to exchange them for the time being.
Zhou Bingkun lived a miserable life in the second half of his life, and he has been struggling at the bottom, and this eldest brother is the parent official of the city, but he has never helped his younger brother.
Even in order to avoid suspicion, Zhou Bingyi never said the relationship between the two in front of outsiders.
Of course, it is not a fault to be honest, but Zhou Bingkun has paid so much for this family, as the eldest brother, Zhou Bingyi, in fact, when his younger brother was in the most difficult time, it was completely understandable to help him a little.
For the sake of fame, in order to avoid suspicion, choose to stay away, such family affection, Chen Can can't accept it!
Zhou Bingyi has no children and no daughters all his life, in order to pursue his ideals and realize his ambitions, he entrusted almost all the responsibilities of the Zhou family to Zhou Bingkun.
Even the heavy responsibility of inheriting the Zhou family was all handed over to Zhou Bingkun!
This invisible shackle made Zhou Bingkun very stressed.
For the sake of her sister Zhou Rong's high school, she chose to be filial to her parents and help her raise her daughter!
For the ideals of the eldest brother Zhou Bingyi, he chose to bear the responsibility of the entire Zhou family alone!
This kind of love is too heavy, Zhou Bingkun really can't bear it!
Chen Can's persuasion of his eldest brother Zhou Bingyi did not happen at all.
Now he chooses to face all this in his own way!
As for the future, leave it to the future!
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei stayed at home for three days before hurriedly returning to the corps.
's father, Zhou Zhigang, was also sent to the station by Zhou Bingkun on the seventh day of the new year, and personally bid farewell to him.
Until this time, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng still did not come back, and the local magazine learned that the famous poet Feng Huacheng was coming back, and also found Zhou's family.
The other party left a contact information with a note, begging Feng Huacheng to hand it over to the other party after he came back.
His father also told Zhou Bingkun not to forget this.
But Chen Can changed his hand and threw the note into the trash!
In his memory, Feng Huacheng was that thing, in this era, it was better not to touch it!
Seventy-six years, an unusual year, a lot of things, talk less, talk less, and the people will have to live their own small lives!
After the New Year, it is seven or seven years.
Originally, the third day of the junior high school was the day when Zhou Bingkun made several small appointments to get together every year, but this year was special, and he finally chose to get together on the tenth day of the new year.
After Zhou Bingkun cleaned up in the morning, he rode his bicycle to the hotel.
In the past few days, at home, after sorting out his thoughts, he decided to find a way to make some extra money.
He plans to spread the news that he can repair electrical appliances through a few small connections.
When you get off work, you can take advantage of your free time to walk the streets and alleys to earn some extra money.
Although he has Zhou Bingkun's life memories, Zhou Bingkun, a young man in the Northeast, actually doesn't have much insight.
He was going to wait for a while and then make plans after he had figured out the situation.
It really doesn't work, and in two years, it will be okay to go to the south to develop by yourself.
In short, in this life, Zhou Bingkun's life will definitely be colorful!
