Zhou Chen knew everything about Zhou Na's trip to the police station and her purchase of baby supplies at the maternity and baby store.
Not only that,
Zhou Chen also knew that Zhou Ling was hiding not far away, observing from the shadows.
It seems that Zhou Ling hasn't completely lost her humanity; she secretly cares about her daughter Zhao Xiaoya's life with Zhou Na.
If he tells Zhou Na that Zhou Ling is hiding nearby, and Zhou Na finds Zhou Ling, that scene will definitely be very interesting.
but,
The next second, Zhou Chen abandoned the idea.
He can't do that, at least not right now.
Zhou Na needs to experience firsthand how painful it is to care for a baby.
In her previous life, Zhou Ling dumped this task on him, asking him to take leave from the construction site and go to Old Zhao's house every day to take care of Zhao Xiaoya during her postpartum period, coaxing her to sleep, feeding her, and so on.
He was tortured quite badly.
In contrast, Zhou Na, apart from visiting occasionally, never helped with anything like comforting the child, changing diapers, or even washing or cleaning.
Even so, whenever Zhou Na bought something, she would receive all sorts of compliments from Zhou Ling, while he, on the other hand, seemed to owe Zhou Ling something, not only failing to express his gratitude but also frequently attracting various complaints.
"Brother, what kind of chicken did you buy? I've been drinking so much chicken soup, but I haven't seen any increase in my milk supply."
"And next time you cook, put less salt in it. Throw away any spoiled fruit immediately, otherwise bacteria will infect the little girl. You're not careful at all. What kind of uncle are you?"
"Next time, don't scald the baby bottle with hot water for too long, so as not to burn the little one. Also, could you come earlier tomorrow? I have to soothe her in the morning. These are all your chores, how can you make me do them? I'm in my postpartum period now and can't do any work."
“I won’t allow you to talk about Brother Kun. He’s a bit of a slacker, but he won twenty yuan playing cards yesterday. That’s earning money for the family. You’re my older brother, so why don’t you help me out? What’s there to feel bad about? When Xiaoya grows up, I’ll repay you more, and then you’ll have everything you need.”
My daughter will marry a rich man in the future. Then, you, as her uncle, will be living the high life. If you ask me, brother, you should invest more of your earnings in your niece. She can take care of you in your old age.
"My second sister and fourth brother are so busy, yet they still find time to come see me and Xiaoya. In this respect, eldest brother, you really need to learn from them. Don't think that you've done a lot. You should know that my second sister and fourth brother are the most successful in our family. Their affairs are more important. As for your work at the construction site, you can do it anytime. It doesn't matter whether you're there or not."
But my second sister and fourth brother are different. Take my second sister for example. After she graduates from university, she'll stay and work for a big company, earning ten or twenty thousand a month won't be a problem. You've taken care of me, and I see that. When I make a lot of money, do you think I won't help you out a bit?
Long-forgotten memories surfaced from the depths of my mind.
Zhou Chen didn't know before, but now he understands. Zhou Ling was manipulating him. In his previous life, he was foolish enough to believe her. He was incredibly stupid.
So, in this life, Zhou Na, you should personally experience the feelings I once went through.
Continue to have Li San keep watch in the shadows.
Zhou Chen and Tang Wu drove to another city to participate in a track and field competition.
Zhou Chen arrived that day.
They successfully joined forces with Xu Wei, Meng Xiaohai, and Ma Dong.
We had been chatting in a QQ group for a long time and were already very familiar with each other. Now that we're having dinner together in real life, we can talk about anything.
Zhou Chen, being the only one among the four who didn't go to a sports school, remained the center of attention. The group mentioned that they had all followed Zhou Chen's lead and bought Moutai stock.
However, they entered the market a little late, but even so, they still made a lot of money.
Zhou Chen was somewhat surprised that the others had joined in the fun. However, he was happy for them that they were able to make a profit from Moutai stock.
As for when it will be sold, Zhou Chen said that he would notify the seller in advance.
Besides stocks, the group talked about Zhou Chen's other businesses. They admired Zhou Chen for opening the Secret Snow Ice Cream and the two-dollar store, and wanted to learn from him how to run a successful business.
Although Zhou Chen didn't have much experience, he had lived two lives, so he just talked casually. Even though he was being very reserved, the three of them were still stunned and greatly shocked.
After the dinner, on my way back to the hotel, I ran into an old acquaintance again.
Liu He, a former member of the high school team,
Zhou Chen and Liu He chatted for quite a while before parting ways.
Lying in bed,
Zhou Chen didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, she thought about the old acquaintances she had met today. Everyone was growing and getting better.
He was very curious about what the future held for these people.
In their previous lives, they had absolutely no connection with these people.
In this life, they meet. Will their lives change to varying degrees because of his appearance?
If so, he hopes it will develop in a positive direction.
The next day, in preparation for the competition and to control their diet, Zhou Chen did not eat with Ma Dong, Liu He, and others, because they all knew that they needed to be in the best condition for the competition the next day.
The third day is the knockout stage, and the fourth day is the final.
On the fifth day, the finals began.
Before going on the field, Zhou Chen made a special call to Lu Guoliang, hoping that Lu Guoliang would see it.
As the whistle blew,
Figures raced across the rubber track, each athlete pushing forward with all their might.
Zhou Chen also gave it his all.
at the same time,
In the core team's QQ group, Li Kaile kept updating Zhou Chen's performance. Lu Ye, Xu Dalong, and Wu Yuxue chimed in one after another, and even Su Jiajia, who rarely speaks, showed up to express her concern and cheer for Zhou Chen.
"Go for it, kid!"
In Fanjia County, Lu Guoliang sat in front of the television, staring intently at a certain figure, one hand clenched into a fist, the other pressing a stopwatch, looking extremely tense.
The moment I saw that figure, the first one to cross the line...
Lu Guoliang immediately pressed the stopwatch, looked down at the time, his pupils contracted slightly, and then a smile full of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"pretty!"
"You've even outperformed the national team! You're a natural-born track and field athlete."
Lu Guoliang was thrilled. Zhou Chen, whom he had the highest hopes for, had not disappointed him. Even without entering a sports school, he continued to achieve better results than before through daily training.
"If only I had gone to a sports school, my grades would be even better than they are now."
"What a pity, this kid doesn't want to be a pure athlete."
Lu Guoliang shook his head and sighed, but the next second, he felt that this idea might be a bit selfish. After all, Zhou Chen's life should be chosen by Zhou Chen.
Moreover, Zhou Chen's business is now growing bigger and bigger, proving that his choice was correct.
"It's because I haven't completely let go."
"But you can't blame me for this. This kid is just too talented. It really breaks my heart to see him waste his talent."
Lu Guoliang sighed again, his face full of helplessness.
