A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 60: Ordinary World, Extraordinary Life

At the end of 91, a major event happened in the Northern Russian family.

Afterwards, because they were so poor that only weapons were left and even the soldiers' salaries could not be guaranteed, the arms business began to proliferate.

It was also during this period that Lu Cheng made a special effort to get to know some traders heading to Yanjing and the Bear Country, and also learned some Russian.

In 92, Lu Cheng took some of his savings and packed a lot of canned food in his storage space and went on a trip to the Bear Country.

I spent some extra money and found some dealers with connections to buy some guns.

Guns have not been completely banned in this era, and even in China, there are still many guns among the people.

With the storage space available and no need to worry about any inspection issues, Lu Cheng brought it back smoothly.

In those days, soldiers in the north were starving, and weapons were sold at bargain prices. Some even set up stalls outside the military camps to sell them. Many ordinary people in the Bear Country had weapons and equipment at home.

Lu Cheng deliberately found several unrelated dealers, spent some extra money, and purchased eight pistols and four AK47 rifles in batches.

The bullets were also purchased in batches. Although the four AKs were second-hand, they were 4% new and in good condition. They were equipped with some replaceable components, twelve empty magazines, and more than two thousand scattered bullets.

Of the eight pistols, two were Stechkin APS pistols, and the remaining six were Makarov pistols. Fortunately, the bullets of these two pistols were universal.

The Stechkin APS pistol has a large magazine capacity and can fire single shots or continuous fire. It is completely a submachine gun.

The Makarov pistol was originally issued to officers and was later widely used by the police. It has a capacity of eight rounds.

A total of more than 1,200 rounds of pistol bullets were purchased.

Although the transaction went through many dealers and he had to pay a lot of extra money, Lu Cheng didn't mind paying more.

These traders are only concerned with selling things to Lu Cheng. As for how Lu Cheng transports these things to the country, it is none of their concern.

After coming back with these things, Lu Cheng kept the guns and ammunition in the storage space and never took them out. No one knew that he had hidden so many guns and ammunition.

Lu Cheng didn’t know whether he could take these guns and ammunition away to the next world in the future.

But with these, even if he can't take them out for the time being, Lu Cheng feels a little more secure.

After all, Lu Cheng at this time was still a doctor with little fighting ability. He only took this risk and never went to the north again. He even had little contact with those profiteers.

When he first bought the gun, Lu Cheng was worried that the police would come to his house to ask questions, but many years have passed and nothing has happened.

In 93, Lu Cheng's family business expanded further. With Lu Cheng's support and encouragement, Xiu Lian further expanded the business and opened some restaurants and a restaurant.

Xiulian didn't understand high-end business, so she focused on catering and food.

After doing business for so many years, Xiu Lian has grown rapidly and has also honed her business management skills.

In addition, some professional talents were hired to manage the business. Although the business was not very popular, it was considered to be average and brought a lot of income to Lu Cheng's family every year.

In 94, another major event happened in Lu Cheng's family. Lu Cheng's eldest son, Lu Yang, was successfully admitted to Yan University, majoring in economics and management.

By the time my son completed his four-year undergraduate and graduate studies, the millennium had already arrived.

Later, Lu Cheng's daughter Lu Wenjun successfully inherited her father Lu Cheng's career, was admitted to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and became an alumnus of her father.

Moreover, Lu Wenjun had a great talent for medicine, majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine Gynecology, and her grades were excellent.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Cheng went to Hangzhou in 99, negotiated an investment, and obtained an original share.

At the turn of the millennium, a company called Baidu emerged in Zhongguancun.

Lu Cheng also talked to the boss through his son, posing as a junior student at Yan University, and also invested a sum of money.

Lu Cheng’s two children don’t know yet how much wealth their father has left for them.

In 2003, Lu Cheng, who was already years old, took Xiu Lian back to Shaanxi Province, found Tian Fujun, and made some investments in his hometown, which could be regarded as a contribution to his hometown.

In the following years, Lu Cheng's assets increased rapidly thanks to investment dividends.

However, after making money, Lu Cheng did not enjoy a luxurious life. Instead, he began to donate money to build Hope Primary Schools in poor mountainous areas, set up scholarships in some universities, and so on.

Among these donations, the largest amount is donated to major military academies.

Thanks to his foresight, many of the companies invested by Lu Cheng have shown leaps in development, and the returns he has received have naturally also seen explosive growth.

Most of this income was donated by Lu Cheng.

Money, when it reaches a certain amount, loses its meaning. It is better to use it to do something meaningful.

In addition to donations, Lu Cheng also vigorously promoted the development of traditional Chinese medicine, collected Chinese medicine classics and secret recipes from all over the country, promoted the establishment of Chinese medicine cultivation bases in various places, and cultivated Chinese medicine talents.

Moreover, Lu Cheng himself has always been very low-key. On the surface, he still maintains the identity of an old Chinese medicine practitioner and never participates in the management of his family's business and property in public.

After Lu Yang graduated, Xiu Lian gradually handed over everything at home to her son and no longer took care of the affairs.

In 2015, my -year-old father-in-law He Yaozong passed away. At his request, the family sent him back to his hometown in Shanxi Province for burial.

When my father-in-law passed away, the whole family was very sad.

Fortunately, Lu Yang, Lu Wenjun and the two children of eldest sister He Xiuying had already married and had children. Before the father-in-law passed away, four generations of his family lived together and his children and grandchildren were around him. He had no regrets in his life and passed away peacefully.

Since his father-in-law passed away, Lu Cheng no longer bothered to invest. Apart from seeing patients in the hospital, he often took Xiu Lian on trips and enjoyed life.

In 2023, a group of children clamored to celebrate Lu Cheng and Xiu Lian’s th birthday, and many of Lu Cheng’s colleagues also came.

Lu Cheng's master, Professor Yan, who is 103 years old, also came to congratulate his favorite little disciple.

At this time, Lu Cheng's medical skills had reached level eight, which was comparable to his master Professor Yan's level, making him a national treasure-level master of traditional Chinese medicine.

It is worth mentioning that Professor Yan, 103 years old, still has good hearing and eyesight, and he still goes to see patients twice a week.

After celebrating Lu Cheng's birthday, Professor Yan also taught Lu Cheng his unique health-preserving methods, including Chinese medicine's health-preserving qigong.

Of course, this qigong is not the kind of martial arts in martial arts novels that can cultivate true energy and hurt people from a distance, but just a way to maintain health.

Qigong cannot make people strong, but it can regulate one's qi and keep the body healthy, thus achieving the goal of longevity.

Although Lu Cheng is already seventy years old, his physical condition is like that of an ordinary man in his fifties.

In 2024, Sun Shaoan from Shuangshui Village died of illness at the age of . Given Sun Shaoan's physical condition, it was not easy for him to live to this age. This was thanks to Runye bringing him to Yanjing and letting Lu Cheng help with his treatment.

In 2028, Tian Runye also passed away at the age of seventy-five.

As their peers in their hometown passed away one after another, there were not many people in Shuangshui Village who knew Lu Cheng and Xiu Lian. Although Lu Cheng's name was still circulating in the village, he rarely returned to his hometown.

When she was eighty years old, Xiulian had also grown old. Although her eyebrows still retained the charm of her youth, her hair had turned completely white.

Fortunately, I have taken proper care and am in good health.

Lu Cheng simply took Xiu Lian on another world tour and saw all the scenery he had never been to or seen before.

By the time Lu Cheng and Xiu Lian were 90 years old, the people around them who were familiar with them had passed away one after another.

My elder sister He Xiuying, my brother-in-law Chang Youlin, my master, my senior brother, Tian Xiaoxia and his wife, etc...

Not only are familiar faces leaving this world one by one, but the world itself has also become somewhat strange. The highly developed technology and powerful artificial intelligence are far beyond our imagination.

After she turned ninety-five, although Lu Cheng had tried his best to take care of her body, Xiu Lian's body was still aging rapidly.

After finally making it to the age of ninety-nine, Xiulian’s body finally could no longer hold on.

The night before New Year's Eve in 2053, in a villa outside the city of Yanjing.

The Lu family was gathering together after having their New Year's Eve dinner. Lu Wenjun, who was already 71 years old, led the whole family to wish their parents a happy new year through holographic projection.

Seventy-seven-year-old Lu Yang and his wife were watching TV. Lu Yang's son and grandson also gathered together to chat and play cards.

Several children, aged three or four, were playing and fighting in the spacious living room. They were the grandchildren of Lu Cheng’s grandchildren.

Lu Cheng and Xiu Lian were leaning on the sofa in front of the window on the second floor, watching the fireworks in the distance and chatting.

"Old man, let's go out for a walk when spring comes and flowers bloom, okay?"

"Of course, we'll go wherever you say."

"Old man, do you still remember the three cave dwellings in Shuangshui Village? I wonder if the jujube tree in the yard is still there."

"We'll go back after the New Year."

"Old man, do you remember the first time you came to my house?"

"Of course I remember. How could I forget? You at that time were like the rhododendrons on the Loess Plateau. Your beauty touched my heart..."

"You are already a hundred years old, and you are still talking about this. Aren't you afraid that your children and grandchildren will laugh at you?"

As the New Year's bell rang, Lu Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He turned to look at Xiulian, only to find that Xiulian smiled with some difficulty at this moment: "Old man, I may not be able to wait until spring comes. After I leave, take me home to see it, okay?"

"it is good!"

Lu Cheng stretched out his trembling hands, held Xiulian's face, and kissed her wrinkled forehead.

"Brother Cheng, I can't bear to leave you..."

"I can't bear to leave you either..."

Just after New Year's Eve in 2053, Xiulian passed away peacefully, leaning against Lu Cheng, at the age of ...
