This is Saturday at noon.
Zhou Bingkun rides his bicycle home to cook.
The doorstep of a Russian-style house.
"National Day, catch up, why are you here? Why don't you go in?" Zhou Bingkun shouted. From a distance, he saw Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing waiting at the door of his house.
"We have just arrived." Xiao Guoqing said with a smile.
"You have something to do with me? Come on, let's talk in the house." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
The three of them entered the house.
"Hello, aunt."
"National Day, catch up, it's coming, sit down quickly."
A few polite words. Zheng Juan was busy making tea.
"Everyone eats here, and I'll cook." Zhou Bingkun said casually.
"No need." Xiao Guoqing said politely.
"Haha, why are you being so polite to me? Tell me, what do you want to do here?" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"What about that, catch up, you say." Xiao Guoqing asked Sun to catch up.
"It's okay. Tomorrow, the supply and marketing cooperative of Shengli Store will sell pork without tickets. There is no limit. The fan price is 48 cents per catty. I want to ask you if you want to buy it together." Sun Qianchao said with a smile.
"This is a good thing. Let's share it among the three families." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
In the TV series, Cai Xiaoguang told Zhou Bingkun about the meat sales in Shengli Store. Now Cai Xiaoguang did not tell Zhou Bingkun, but Sun Qianchao knew about it, and he told Xiao Guoqing and Zhou Bingkun.
In fact, in "The Human World", the news about the meat sales in Shengli Store was told by Sun Qianchao to Zhou Bingkun. The head of Shengli Store was a neighbor of Sun Ganchao's family, so he only told Sun Ganchao's family.
"I also told Debao." Sun caught up and said.
In the TV series, Zhou Bingkun, Xiao Guoqing, Sun Qianchao and Cao Debao are young. Later, Cao Debao's family moved out of Guangzipi.
In the original work, Zhou Bingkun did not know Cao Debao. Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao were middle school classmates with Cao Debao and Lu Chuan. They know each other.
What is used here is the relationship between characters in the TV series.
"Then let's divide it among the four families." Zhou Bingkun said while cooking.
"I just don't know if Debao will ask others to go with him. He seems to have a buddy in the soy sauce factory, and he has been a slag extractor with him for several years." Sun Qianchao said.
"It's okay to ask someone to go, but if that doesn't work, let's just buy two fans of pork and share them." Zhou Bingkun said casually.
"Yes, if there are many people, we will divide the room into two." Xiao Guoqing said with a smile.
"How are you doing at the lumber factory?" Zhou Bingkun asked.
"It's not that good. You can't learn skills there, and I'm as tired as a dog every day..."
A few people talked and laughed.
Not long after.
Zhou Bingkun prepared seven plates and eight bowls.
There are two tables at home.
Li Suhua, Zheng Juan and Zhou Jiaping together.
Zhou Bingkun, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao together.
"Come, let's have a drink first." Zhou Bingkun said while raising the cup.
"Do it!" Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao said cheerfully. They have always had a good relationship with Zhou Bingkun, and Cao Debao and Zhou Bingkun don't have much contact.
"Bingkun, did you know? A young man named Han Wei in our optical film film committed suicide..."
...
Chat for a while.
"Bingkun, shall we go early tomorrow morning?" After eating and drinking, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao said before leaving.
"Oops, it's broken. I forgot to give people acupuncture tomorrow morning." Zhou Bingkun frowned. He will go to Gaogan Community tomorrow morning to give Zhao Shumin and others acupuncture and medical treatment.
"Then go ahead and we'll buy it for you. How much do you want?" Xiao Guoqing said.
"Let's do it this way. If there are four people, we buy one, and you divide the rest. The rest is mine. If there are more than four people, we buy two, and it's up to you to divide, and I'll take care of the rest. "Zhou Bingkunhao said.
"Bingkun, if there are six people, you won't be able to tell the difference between old and young for two pork slices." Sun Ganchao frowned.
"It's okay, I'll freeze it and eat it slowly." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"That's okay." Sun Qianchao said with a smile.
"There is fifty yuan here. You can take it first. When the time comes, you can refund more or make up less." Zhou Bingkun gave the money first.
"Okay." Sun Qianchao said without any pretense. He didn't have that much money to stick it inside.
After Xiao Guoqing and Sun left, Li Suhua asked: "Bingkun, our family is not short of meat, why do we buy so much meat with them?"
"Mom, to catch up with their kindness, just buy it with them. It won't spoil if it's frozen outside. Let's eat it slowly." Zhou Bingkun said casually.
"That will cost a lot of money, right?" Li Suhua was reluctant to part with money again.
"Not much money." Zhou Bingkun said nonchalantly.
"Not much money yet? Bingkun, didn't your salary go to Juan'er? Where did you get the fifty yuan just now?" Li Suhua asked.
"I earned it separately." Zhou Bingkun said. He knew he was careless and he shouldn't have exposed his private money.
"What you earn in addition must be given to Juan'er." Li Suhua said bluntly.
"Okay, I still have a total of five yuan here, give it all to Juan'er." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"Bingkun, you can't be without money, I'll give you another ten yuan." Zheng Juan said hurriedly. Not only did she not ask for Zhou Bingkun's money, but she also gave Zhou Bingkun ten more yuan.
"No, Juan'er, I should still be able to make some money when I go out tomorrow." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. Zheng Juan is always so considerate.
...
Sunday.
It's dark.
Zhou Bingkun went out to practice as usual.
When he comes back from practice, he makes breakfast.
After that, Zhou Bingkun was busy all morning after being picked up by a car.
noon.
He continues to cook at home and spend time with his family.
Had a meal.
"Bingkun, why don't you go to that Shengli store to have a look? Why haven't you caught up with them yet?" Li Suhua asked worriedly. According to what was said yesterday, Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing were going to buy meat early in the morning. Calculating the time, they should have bought meat long ago.
"Okay, I'll go take a look right now." Zhou Bingkun said. He knew what was going on. The people at Shengli Store and Cold Storage were waiting for the other party to contact him, and then they waited all day.
In the TV series, it was Zhou Bingkun who called and asked the cold storage to deliver pork.
...
Victory Store, outside the main gate.
Xiao Guoqing, Sun Qianchao, Cao Debao, Lu Chuan, and Tang Xiangyang were all shivering from the cold. They were all hungry too, but they were reluctant to buy something to eat.
At this time, it started to snow heavily. They took shelter under the trees but refused to go to the store. Because there are so many people inside, it smells like everything.
"Bingkun, you're here!" Xiao Guoqing shouted.
"Come here, what's wrong with you? You haven't bought the meat yet?" Zhou Bingkun stopped the bicycle with a cool swipe and asked.
"Yes, the salesperson keeps saying there is no meat." Cao Debao answered. He is tall and thin and has good looks. His ideal in life is to eat soft rice. He has always dreamed of marrying a princess in distress, and then the princess's family regains power. He steps in and becomes his son-in-law. He will eat well, drink well, live well, and sleep with the princess all his life, without having to work.
In the TV series, he married Qiao Chunyan. Qiao Chunyan was more capable and allowed him to eat soft rice as he wished. But soft food is hard to eat, so he has to be able to bear his anger.
"Is there no meat? I'll go take a look." Zhou Bingkun said casually.
"Don't worry, Bingkun, let me introduce you. This is Lu Chuan and this is Tang Xiangyang. Like me, they are both slag workers in the soy sauce factory." Cao Debao introduced.
"I'm Zhou Bingkun, I work in the city hospital." Zhou Bingkun said casually. He didn't act too affectionate.
"Work in the city hospital? Are you a doctor?" Tang Xiangyang asked. He has a small face, medium build, and a bit of bookishness, which is different from Xiao Guoqing and others. In his eyes, Zhou Bingkun was different from Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao.
"He's a doctor, I guess." Zhou Bingkun responded.
"Hey, doctor, it's much easier for doctors to sit in the office than for us." Lu Chuan said with a smile. He is a person who pursues his goals. After he knew that he could learn mathematics from Tang Xiangyang, he knelt down directly to Tang Xiangyang.
"It's not bad. Let me go in and take a look." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. After he finished speaking, he walked into the victory store.
Later, Lu Chuan and others started talking about Zhou Bingkun. Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao didn't say anything about Zhou Bingkun. It was Cao Debao who did, but Cao Debao didn't know much about Zhou Bingkun's changes in recent years. He was talking about Zhou Bingkun's childhood.
There are many people in the store.
Everyone is waiting to buy meat.
Zhou Bingkun squeezed to the counter and asked: "Comrade, there is no meat yet?"
"No!" The young saleswoman's attitude was upright, a bit like a Northeastern woman's aggressive attitude.
"Where are your leaders?" Zhou Bingkun asked.
"The leader is not here." the salesperson said impatiently.
"Are you waiting for the meat to be delivered from the cold storage?" Zhou Bingkun asked.
"Yes, how did you know?" the salesperson asked in surprise.
"Haha, let's do this. Give me the cold storage phone number and I'll tell them." Zhou Bingkun said.
"Can't I let you make a phone call?" The salesperson hesitated.
"It's not an option for you to have so many people waiting here. Don't you find it annoying or unpleasant to smell?" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"Then just call. If something goes wrong, it's your responsibility." The salesperson took out the cold storage phone number.
"Okay, if something goes wrong, it's my responsibility." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. The conversation between him and the salesperson was heard by the people nearby. When they saw Zhou Bingkun was about to make a call, they all became quiet.
Xiao Guoqing and others outside heard that there was no sound inside, and hurriedly ran in. They saw Zhou Bingkun picking up the phone and dialing.
"Hey, cold storage? I'm Victory Store, why don't you send meat?" Zhou Bingkun said casually.
"Are you the person in charge?" asked the other person.
"Yes, I am." Zhou Bingkun responded casually.
"I'm just waiting for your call. Once your call comes, we can deliver the meat. Our trucks and workers have been waiting for a long time." The other side said.
"Haha, that's a big deal. Then hurry up and deliver the meat. There are quite a few people waiting here." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. He hung up the phone casually and shouted, "The meat will be delivered in a moment!"
Everyone looked at Zhou Bingkun with admiration.
"Bingkun, you still have a way. It would be better if you came earlier." Xiao Guoqing squeezed in front of Zhou Bingkun and said happily.
"Yes, Bingkun, why did you think of calling?" Cao Debao asked. He also squeezed over.
"They say they are selling meat today. If there is no meat, just call and ask." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the store and frowned: "Comrade, did you call me pretending to be me?" He was the person in charge of the store.
"Who are you?" Zhou Bingkun turned around and asked. He had his back turned to the store manager just now.
"Eh..., are you Dr. Zhou? This is disrespectful." The person in charge of the store hurriedly bowed his waist and extended his hand. He knew Zhou Bingkun, and he went to see Zhou Bingkun for medical treatment.
"Are you...?" Zhou Bingkun asked.
"I am..."
...
Zhou Bingkun and others were the first to buy meat.
The person in charge of the store also helped divide the meat for them.
"Bingkun, you are still the best!"
"Yes, Bingkun, when you didn't come, we waited all morning. As soon as you came, the meat came."
"Bingkun, how did the store manager know you?"
"Didn't you hear that man's name is Doctor Bingkunzhou? You must have met him at the city hospital."
