Chapter 4 Making Money

If you want to live a smooth life, making money is the key!
Just when his mother Li Suhua was shocked by Zhou Bingkun's sudden "love" talk, he had already started to make money.
After digging out a lot of manuscript papers from his elder brother Zhou Bingyi and sister Zhou Rong overnight, Zhou Bingkun started his own "making money" business.
In today's era, there is no such thing as remuneration, but "refinement fee".
I was busy until 3 or 4 o'clock in the middle of the night and wrote less than 40,000 words in total.
This is because of the strong memory. Zhou Bingkun clearly remembered the contents of the book "Changjin Lake".
That's right, he wrote exactly the book about the future version, where the Rabbit challenges Blue Star Seventeen Halls in a row.
Early the next morning, Zhou Bingkun handed the manuscript directly to Jichun Publishing House.
The rest can only depend on God's will.
But since it can be published in the future, Changjin Lake will definitely have the influence of a spark that starts a prairie fire.
After eating the leftovers from last night,
Zhou Bingkun pushed the bicycle on the road: "Mom, I'm out!"
"Hey, kid, where are you going so early in the morning?"
Watching Zhou Bingkun riding his bicycle and turning into a wisp of smoke in the snow, Li Suhua couldn't help but pat her thigh,
She also planned to ask Zhou Bingkun to bring some meat to Zhou Rong, who had just gone to the countryside.
But if Zhou Bingkun knew about it, he would definitely not be happy. After all, Zhou Rong just went to the countryside. How could he do it without some hardship!
Really, wherever you go, you are home, and whoever you are is your parents?
Cinema, sparsely crowded,
The Spring Festival has passed, and most people have begun preparing to return to work.
Looking at the beautiful figure wearing a pudding jacket not far away, Zhou Bingkun stepped forward and said: "Here are five bunches of candied haws!"
"OK!"
Hearing the sound of guests, Zheng Juan quickly turned around,
But when he saw Zhou Bingkun, he couldn't help but be slightly startled and said: "Are you eating alone?"
"I like eating candied haws!"
Showing a smile, Zhou Bingkun handed over the money.
After taking Zhou Bingkun's money, Zheng Juan was stunned for a moment, then wrapped the candied haws in paper: "Eating too much is bad for your teeth!"
Hearing Zheng Juan's words, Zhou Bingkun was stunned for a moment, then stared at her,
Sensing Zhou Bingkun's hot gaze, Zheng Juan quickly lowered her head with a shy face.
Picking up a bunch of candied haws, Zhou Bingkun bit into one and murmured: "Well, not bad!"
With that said, he walked straight to the nearby store and said, "Boss, let me lend you my precious land!"
"Okay, just don't disturb my guests!"
Looking at Zhou Bingkun, the boss didn't say anything. After all, Zhou Bingkun just borrowed a chair to sit outside the store.
Taking out the wood that had been prepared long ago, Zhou Bingkun began to carefully make wood carvings.
This is a skill he learned during the "Sixteen Kingdoms" period.
The depression caused by war is unacceptable to ordinary people.
He can't control life, he can't control death either,
But he can control the thin line between life and death,
Unlike other people who like to live and drink after the war and release their inner uneasiness, Zhou Bingkun is used to carving wood art alone and silently, transforming remembered people into wood carvings to accompany him.
There are enemies, comrades, brothers...and the hero in his memory, Ran Min...
A piece of log slowly took shape in Zhou Bingkun's hands, and the figure in the comparison was exactly what he used to be.
Wearing scale armor and a feather helmet, he holds a sword on his left hand and a spear on his right...
After a while, the sawdust dissipated, and a heroic general appeared in his hand.
But just when Zhou Bingkun was deep in thought, many people had already gathered around him.
"Young man, your skills are quite good!"
"Yes, where did the young man become a teacher? Have you been studying wood carving for a long time?"
"Comrade, would you like to change the wood carving in your hand?"
Just when Zhou Bingkun raised his head, a group of people in front of him started asking questions.
"Well, I'm just having fun. If you like it, how about you find some wood tomorrow and I can carve it for you?"
After hearing what everyone said, Zhou Bingkun quickly explained,
"Really, young man, you can't lie to us!"
"Yes, comrade! Just wait here while I go back to get you some wood. Don't leave!"
Suddenly being loved by the masses, Zhou Bingkun was completely stunned.
What is he here for? Isn't he here to see his future wife? Why did he find a "business" for himself?
Just when Zhou Bingkun's face was full of confusion, Zheng Guangming in the distance also said: "Sister, are the wood carvings opposite really good-looking?"
"It's beautiful! My sister has never seen such good wood carvings!"
Looking at the wood carving in Zhou Bingkun's hand, Zheng Juan's face was also full of surprise.
Because she didn't expect that Zhou Bingkun could actually do this, and she didn't know if she could help Guangming make a wood sculpture so that he could have something to play with without having to follow her all day long.
Thinking of this, Zheng Juan couldn't help but cast her eyes towards Zhou Bingkun,
As if he noticed something, Zhou Bingkun looked at Zheng Juan in the distance,
The moment the two people's eyes met, Zheng Juan blushed, lowered her head, and quickly moved away.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Zhou Bingkun smiled in his heart: "You're quite shy!"
At noon, because of the unexpected wood carving, several circles of people gathered around Zhou Bingkun.
"Uncle, this is yours! Take it! There are also photos, keep them!"
Handing out the wood carving, Zhou Bingkun laughed,
"Thank you, young man!"
With tears in his eyes, the uncle looked at Zhou Bingkun and couldn't help but choked up.
This is his wife, who passed away two years ago.
The only thing left is the photos.
Looking at the gradually yellowing photos, the uncle didn’t know what to do. When he saw Zhou Bingkun today, his son hurried over and asked if he could carve out the person.
Looking at the old man with white hair and many vicissitudes of life, Zhou Bingkun nodded seriously and said: "Okay!"
Then this scene appeared,
Touching the half-fist-sized wooden sculpture in his palm, the uncle reached out and patted Zhou Bingkun on the shoulder: "Good boy, thank you, grandpa!"
"Notice, this is my phone number. If you encounter any trouble in the future, please call me!"
Without saying anything unnecessary, the middle-aged man directly stuffed the phone into his arms.
After taking a cautious look, Zhou Bingkun froze on the spot.
Public Security Bureau Li...
What did he do? He just made a random wood carving for his future wife. How come he has connections?
You know, people nowadays don't make promises easily.
Seeing the middle-aged man helping the uncle leave, Zhou Bingkun smiled. Zheng Juan was really his lucky star!
The next wood carving did not bring much benefit to Zhou Bingkun, but it did bring him a lot more rice, noodles, bills, and scattered money.
Although he cannot "speculate", he makes money purely based on his craftsmanship.
Regardless of that era, craftsmen will never die of hunger.
I mean, this is also an adjustment between the two parties! Even if the red armband comes to the side, he can only leave silently.
In the afternoon, when everyone gradually dispersed,
Zhou Bingkun went straight to the stall where Zheng Juan was.
Looking at the tall Zhou Bingkun in front of her, Zheng Juan was a little stunned at first, and then whispered: "Is something wrong?"
"My name is Zhou Bingkun! The Zhou family of Guangzi Pian, I am seventeen this year!"
Looking at Zheng Juan, Zhou Bingkun said seriously,
"Zheng Juan! Eighteen, Taiping Hutong!"
Subconsciously answering, Zheng Juan quickly lowered her head and blushed,
"I've fallen in love with you, Zheng Juan, let's get along!"
Looking at Zheng Juan, Zhou Bingkun quickly spoke,
"I...I'll go back and think about it!"
Pushing the stall cart, Zheng Juan quickly picked up Guangming and prepared to leave.
But seeing this scene, Zhou Bingkun was not going to let it go. He immediately helped Zheng Juan and said, "I'll do it!"
Saying that, Zheng Juan was not allowed to refuse at all, so she packed her things.
Chapter completed!
