A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 16 "Advanced Person" He Xiulian

Since He Xiulian came to Shuangshui Village, Lu Cheng's life has indeed become much easier. He helps with farm work and rushes to do housework. When Lu Cheng is tired from studying, she massages his shoulders, and when Lu Cheng is hot from working, she wipes his sweat.

Whenever she has free time, Xiulian will tell Lu Cheng about various things in the village.

Although they were all trivial matters, Lu Cheng listened with great interest when He Xiu Lian told them.

For the first time in his past and present life, Lu Cheng realized that an ordinary life could also be so much fun.

Originally, it was said that she would stay for four or five days before returning to her hometown, but He Xiu Lian stayed in Shuangshui Village for seven or eight days and didn't want to go back.

"Xiu Lian, it's time for you to go back. If you don't go back, your father and your sister will be worried."

"Brother Lu Cheng, please don't chase me away. I want to stay here with you."

"But if you don't leave, people will gossip about you and it will affect your reputation."

"I don't care about fame."

"But I care. You are the good girl I like, the best girl. I can't let others gossip about you. I want you to marry me in a grand and open manner.

Okay, let's go to Shigejie Commune. According to our custom, I will make two new sets of clothes for you and a new set of bedding for your father."

He Xiu Lian sat on the back seat of the bicycle somewhat reluctantly and headed towards Shigeji Commune.

Arriving at the cloth counter at the supply and marketing cooperative, Lu Cheng said, "Xiu Lian, let me see what color cloth you like and make you two nice ones."

He Xiulian reached out and touched the pieces of cloth. Finally, she stopped at a piece of black Dacron cloth: "I don't want any new clothes. I have a lot at home, enough to wear. I'll make you a new set of clothes."

As she spoke, He Xiulian held the cloth and compared it with Lu Cheng's body, and asked the salesperson: "Comrade, what color clothes do you think looks best on him?"

The salesperson looked at the two of them and asked, "Would you like better material?"

"Of course, I'll give it to him when we get married."

The salesperson also got excited: "You two are really interesting."

He Xiulian was a little confused: "Why is it so interesting?"

"I've seen many people come here to buy cloth to make wedding clothes. Usually the woman changes her mind on the spot and wants to add one more yard of cloth and number of pieces to the originally agreed amount. If she doesn't add the yard, she gets angry and doesn't buy the clothes, which means she won't get the marriage certificate."

Lu Cheng smiled. Isn't this the same as in later generations when the woman temporarily adds an extra gift to the wedding?

As He Xiulian was choosing the cloth, she asked, "Is this really true?"

"Why not? I've seen some young men running out to borrow money in a hurry. Some young men who couldn't borrow money hid under the wall of the store and cried.

You are such a good woman, you only want a set of clothes, not good fabric, and you want to make a good set of clothes for your man. It's rare, it's really rare, you are very sensible, just like those advanced characters in the movies."

Lu Cheng also laughed: "That's right, I am so lucky to have found a treasure this time, I can meet such a good girl. But don't listen to her, listen to me, make her two sets of good clothes, ask for good fabrics, and also buy a set of bedding."

He Xiulian immediately refused to give in and snatched the cloth from Lu Cheng's hand: "Brother Lu Cheng, what are you doing? We don't want the quilt anymore."

"It's a must. Your father has worked so hard to raise you two sisters. Now that you are going to marry so far away, you should buy your father a new quilt to warm his heart, right?"

"My dad doesn't want..."

"Yes, I must. Comrade He Xiulian, since you want to marry me, I can't let you suffer any injustice, and I can't let the people in your village gossip about you."

"But…"

"No buts, Xiulian, I want you to remember that you deserve the best."

The argument between the two attracted all the people around who were buying cloth.

Some people couldn't help but joke: "Why is this like being in a movie?"

There was also a young couple who were obviously here to talk about wedding clothes. When the woman heard what Lu Cheng said, she pinched her partner and said, "Look at him, he's handsome and warm-hearted. Look at you."

The young man also felt wronged: "Then look at the girl, she is so sensible."

Finally, under Lu Cheng's strong request, He Xiu Lian obeyed and walked out of the store holding the cloth that Lu Cheng bought for her, leaving a good story for this small store.

These days, ordinary people bought cloth from the commune and took it home to make their own clothes and bedding.

He Xiulian was sent to the bus station and waited until the bus arrived before she reluctantly got on the bus. Before getting on the bus, she said, "Brother Lu Cheng, I will miss you. Wait for me. I will be back soon."

Lu Cheng nodded: "I will miss you too. I will write to you when you go back."

"Then I will wait for your letter every day."

Lu Cheng waved his hand and sent this lovely girl away, feeling very reluctant.

After the car started, He Xiu Lian was still lying in front of the window, waving at Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng waited until the car drove away before he got on his bike and returned home.

Looking at his own courtyard, without He Xiu Lian's figure, it seemed to become a little deserted all of a sudden.

Lu Cheng had to work, cook and live alone again.

I really want to get married soon and start my married life.

Some people say that marriage is the grave of love.

But if two people really depend on each other, love each other, support each other, encourage and care for each other, and go through the ups and downs of life together, then how can marriage be a grave?

He Xiu Lian is gone, but Lu Cheng's life must go on.

After being in this world for so long, Lu Cheng is also ready to do something for the villagers of Shuangshui Village.

He took out the pen, took out the ink, unscrewed the ink bottle cap, unscrewed the pen, revealing the rubber ink belly of the pen. Seeing that there was only a small half of ink left inside, Lu Cheng sucked up the ink, screwed the pen back on, took out a brand new notebook, and walked towards a house.

Lu Cheng will take advantage of his free time to establish medical files for all the villagers in Shuangshui Village, recording in detail the physical condition, medical history, allergies, etc. of each household and each villager, and truly do the work of a village doctor.

It is destined not to be an easy task to write down the information of each household.

But since Lu Cheng has become a village doctor, he must do what he can well.

Moreover, this can also prevent problems before they occur, discover the villagers' health risks in advance, remind them to pay attention, or develop some prevention plans for them.

There’s a saying that goes, the more people your heart can hold, the more things it can handle, and the greater the responsibilities it can take.

Lu Cheng wants to find out the situation of all the villagers and keep every one of them in his heart.

Although this task was laborious, Lu Cheng felt it was very meaningful.

When we are alive, we should do something meaningful within our ability.
