A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

The next morning, Lu Cheng got up early and began to practice Ba Duan Jin in the yard as usual.

Seeing Lu Cheng exercising, Uncle Li also started practicing Tai Chi in the yard, but after a while, he stopped and watched Lu Cheng practice Ba Duan Jin.

After Lu Cheng finished practicing, Uncle Li said, "Xiao Lu, you are practicing Ba Duan Jin, right? Why is it a little different from what I saw?"

"This was taught to me by an old Chinese doctor I met in my hometown. He said it can strengthen the body, so I have been practicing it, and I am indeed getting more and more energetic."

Uncle Li nodded and said, "I think you are doing quite well in this practice. I will ask you for your advice later."

"no problem."

"Then you go ahead and do your work. Don't forget to take your keys with you when you leave. I'll go find my son and ask him to come and help me move."

"Do you want my help?"

"No need. The old man doesn't have much."

After exercising, Lu Cheng went out and found a breakfast stall to fill his stomach. Then he found a telephone booth and called the village brigade, asking someone to notify Xiu Lian to answer the call.

When Xiulian answered the phone, Lu Cheng didn't say much, but just told her that the house had been rented and asked her to take the child to Huangyuan City and set off for Yanjing with Tian Xiaoxia.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng called Tian Xiaoxia in Huangyuan City.

Tian Xiaoxia is also going to come to Yenching to study at university. The start times of Yenching Normal University and University of Chinese Medicine are almost the same. Tian Xiaoxia has her family to send her off, so it's a good opportunity for Xiulian and her son to come with them so that they can be taken care of on the way. This was all agreed upon in advance.

After the call, Lu Cheng went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two suitable gifts, and brought some local specialties from home, and brought them all to a residential compound in Haidian District.

According to the address given by Tian Fujun, Lu Cheng arrived at a house, knocked on the door, and soon the door opened.

The person who opened the door was a woman in her 40s or 50s. When she saw Lu Cheng carrying a gift, she was a little puzzled: "Young comrade, who are you looking for?"

Lu Cheng also hurriedly greeted politely: "Auntie, hello, is this Director Zhao Qingyuan's home? My name is Lu Cheng, and I'm from Huangyuan City."

"Huang Yuan? Are you Tian Fujun's fellow villager? Please come in, please come in. Lao Zhao, there's a guest here, looking for you."

When Lu Cheng walked into the living room, he saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing glasses and looking like a university teacher, walking out.

Seeing Lu Cheng, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "You are Lu Cheng from Huangyuan City, right? Old Tian told me before that you would come, but I didn't expect you to come today. Come and sit down."

Lu Cheng put down his things and greeted him: "Hello, Director Zhao."

"Why Director Zhao? Call me uncle. I've heard from Old Tian that you are not only from the same village as him, but also the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Shaanxi Province this year. Young man, you are amazing."

Director Zhao is also a very important person. He works in the Yenching Education Bureau and is a deputy-division-level cadre.

Although this deputy division level rank seems to be two or three levels lower than the full department level rank of Tian Fujun, the commissioner of the Prefectural Party Committee and the Administrative Office.

But this is Yanjing City. Being able to work in the Yanjing City Education Bureau, even if it is just a section-level cadre, is very remarkable.

The reason why Lu Cheng didn't visit the house right after he first arrived was because he thought renting a house was such a small matter and there was no need to trouble others.

Asking for favors when you first meet someone is also very taxing on your relationship.

Moreover, if Lu Cheng needed help to rent a house, he would seem a bit too nerdy.

"Xiao Lu, when did you arrive in Yanjing?"

"I arrived yesterday. I first wandered around Yanjing City, rented a house, and settled down. Then I came to visit you. Uncle Fujun asked me to say hello to you. Here are some local specialties that he asked me to bring."

"Look at you, kid. You should have come to me as soon as you got here. When we were in college, Fu Jun and I were the best classmates. Fu Jun has ideas and is motivated. I know that sooner or later he will be able to make a career on the Loess Plateau..."

"I also heard Uncle Fujun talk about you, and he said he has the best relationship with you."

"By the way, I heard from Fujun that their daughter was also admitted to Yanjing University. Why didn't she come with you this time?"

"Xiaoxia will be here in two days. I'm here to check out the situation first."

"Oh, that's right. Where do you live now? Do you have any difficulties? Do you need my help? Just tell me if you have anything to say, and don't be polite to me."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao. Everything is fine for now. The man who rented me the house is a very open-minded man, and he has settled in well."

"That's good. It's not easy for you students this year. You have waited so many years to finally take the college entrance examination. The fact that you performed so well this time is enough to prove that you have never given up studying. That's great."

Young people are at the age of learning. When school starts, you must also work hard and don’t waste such a good learning opportunity.”

"Yes, I will work hard..."

After chatting for a while, Director Zhao was very concerned about Lu Cheng's studies and talked to Lu Cheng about many topics related to education, including how difficult it was for the college entrance examination to be resumed this time.

Lu Cheng listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words.

Near noon, Director Zhao insisted that Lu Cheng stay for dinner at his home, and Lu Cheng couldn't refuse, so he stayed.

After dinner, they chatted for more than an hour before Lu Cheng left and returned to the rented yard.

When Lu Cheng returned to the yard, Grandpa Li had already moved all his things, leaving only some flowers and plants.

Seeing Lu Cheng coming back, Uncle Li handed Lu Cheng another key: "This key is also for you. You must take good care of this yard. Come to Dongzhimen when you have nothing to do and have a drink with me."

"No problem, thank you sir."

When he first came to Yanjing City, Lu Cheng had a very good impression of it, thinking it was very humane.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng looked at the situation at home, took out a pen and paper and began to record what was missing at home.

There is no shortage of large pieces of furniture, but food, clothing, and daily necessities all need to be purchased.

The Spring Festival has just passed and it is still relatively cold in Yanjing City, so we need to prepare all the necessary heating supplies.

Fortunately, Uncle Li left Lu Cheng a coal stove and dozens of honeycomb coals, which saved him some trouble.

You need tickets to buy things now. If you only have money but no tickets, you can’t buy many things.

Fortunately, before departure, Tian Fujun prepared some national tickets for Lu Cheng.

In fact, if Lu Cheng went to college by himself, it wouldn't cost much money at all. The school would provide subsidies, so he wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing.

But Xiulian and her children's food, clothing and other daily necessities require money.

Food, oil, salt, clothing, food, and warmth all cost money and need to be prepared.

Lu Cheng was busy for a day or two before he finally bought everything he needed.

The green trains in the 1970s were generally very slow, running only 30 to 40 kilometers per hour.

It is more than a thousand kilometers from Xi'an to Yanjing, and it takes dozens of hours to get there, including stops and starts.

By the time Lu Cheng had prepared everything at home, Xiu Lian, Tian Xiaoxia and the others should be here too.

At noon that day, Lu Cheng hurriedly ate lunch and rushed to the train station.

I waited for two or three hours, until four or five o'clock, when I saw a familiar figure at the exit.

"Xiulian."

"Brother Cheng."

"dad."

The family successfully reunited in Yanjing, and a new life was about to begin...
