A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

We entered the county party committee’s staff quarters and walked all the way to Tian Fujun’s home.

This village courtyard is also made of brick and tile houses, connected in a row, with each courtyard separated by a separate courtyard. There are clotheslines in the courtyard for drying clothes.

As soon as she got home, Tian Runye parked her bike, took off her coat, and turned around and said, "Xiaoxia, take care of Lu Cheng first. I'll go cook."

"Sister, don't worry. Brother Lu Cheng, please sit down first. I'll get you two bottles of soda."

As she was talking, Tian Xiaoxia had already walked into the inner room and came out with two bottles of soda in each hand.

Afraid that Lu Cheng would feel embarrassed, Tian Xiaoxia took a bottle opener and opened two bottles. She handed one to Lu Cheng and took a sip of the other herself.

An orange glass bottle of soda with two words printed on it: Bingfeng.

Lu Cheng took it and took a sip. It tasted pretty good.

"Brother Lu Cheng, this is your first time to visit our home, right? Now that you have come to know each other, don't forget to come visit me when you come to the county town next time."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Please sit down."

Lu Cheng didn't say how many times they had met, but he was not as reserved as most people. Instead, he sat down with confidence.

"Xiaoxia, aren't your parents coming back for lunch?"

"They are very busy. My dad usually eats lunch in the company cafeteria. My mom is in the hospital and has to be on duty at noon. So, it's just the three of us who eat together. By the way, it's time for Runsheng to come back."

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Sister, is the meal ready? I'm almost starving."

"Not yet, go inside and wait. Lu Cheng is here, go say hello."

A tall, thin, slightly ruffian young man walked in and took the initiative to greet Lu Cheng: "Brother Lu Cheng, it's really you. You are a rare guest. Is this your first time here? Come visit us often in the future."

As he spoke, Tian Runsheng walked to the table, opened a bottle of soda, took two sips, and then asked, "Brother Lu Cheng, is everything okay in the village?"

"All right, you guys should have a holiday in a few days, right?"

"It will be soon. We can go back to the village in three days."

Tian Runsheng is four or five years younger than Lu Cheng and has a more eccentric personality. He and Lu Cheng can't play together in the village. After a few words, he turned around and went into the kitchen to help.

However, Tian Xiaoxia was very enthusiastic in chatting with Lu Cheng and asking about various situations in the village.

Although Tian Xiaoxia is the daughter of a cadre who grew up in the city, she does not have the airs of a cadre's daughter at all. Instead, she is honest, brave, simple and kind.

Speaking of which, this pair of cousins ​​from the Tian family fell in love with the two brothers from the Sun family one after another, and formed an inseparable bond for life.

"By the way, Brother Lu Cheng, if you like reading, we have a lot of books at home. You can take two books back and bring them back when you've finished reading them."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng did not refuse. After all, reading was the only entertainment activity these days.

After a brief thought, Lu Cheng took the initiative to say, "Xiaoxia, you should have a lot of newspapers at home, right? Can you lend them to me?"

"Of course, wait a moment, I'll get it for you."

Unlike the later information-developed Internet age, in this era of backward communications, newspapers are the best way to get information from the outside world.

Soon, Tian Xiaoxia took out a thick stack of newspapers, picked out a part of it, and pointed it to Lu Cheng: "Brother Lu Cheng, I recommend you to read more of this Reference News. It contains a lot of international news, and the news is also very authoritative. It can help us understand the world more clearly."

"Yes, I know this. It is said that the four characters "Cankao Xiaoxi" are in the handwriting of Mr. Lu Xun."

Tian Xiaoxia's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Brother Lu Cheng, you also know this? Let me tell you, this is my favorite newspaper. It is also through this newspaper that I know how wonderful the outside world is. When I have the chance in the future, I must go out to see the world, see the beautiful mountains and rivers of my motherland, and see every side of this world."

"That's a great idea. Maybe you can be a traveler, like Marco Polo."

"I have the same idea, but I haven't had the chance yet."

As they were chatting, Tian Runye came in carrying two dishes. Tian Runsheng followed closely behind, carrying a basket of hot white steamed buns.

"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

"We were just talking about the newspaper."

"Go wash your hands, it's time to eat."

Since he was home, Lu Cheng didn't hesitate to go out and wash his hands, then took the towel handed to him by Tian Xiaoxia and wiped them.

"Lu Cheng, come and try my cooking and see if it suits your taste."

Although there were only two dishes on the table, the portions were quite filling: one was radish vermicelli, and the other was cabbage and pork.

In this era when rural families could only eat meat during festivals, this was undoubtedly a very good meal.

Lu Cheng picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. Although it was just a home-cooked dish, it was much better than what he made. He nodded and praised, "The taste is no worse than that in the restaurant outside. I didn't expect that you have such cooking skills, Runye. I am really a little envious of Shaoan."

Tian Runye blushed slightly when she heard this, and quickly said modestly: "It's not as good as you say."

It is no secret that Tian Runye likes Sun Shaoan. Tian Xiaoxia and Tian Runsheng both know it and are very supportive.

Otherwise, Lu Cheng would never make such a joke.

As they ate and chatted, Lu Cheng became more familiar with the three of them.

After all, the memories implanted by the system are dead, and only the experience of actual interaction is real.

After the meal, the few people seemed to have gotten to know each other all over again.

After dinner, Tian Xiaoxia and Tian Runsheng were going back to school. Tian Runye took out the prepared things and handed them to Lu Cheng: "This is snacks for Shaoan's grandmother, and eye drops. This is for Shaoan..."

Lu Cheng's shoulder bag was almost full with three borrowed medical books, two notebooks he bought, a stack of newspapers and two books given by Honda Xiaoxia.

The boxes of snacks that Tian Runye entrusted to him could only be carried by hand.

After parting with Tian Runye, Lu Cheng walked towards Xinhua Bookstore.

On the way, we passed a remote street. While there was no one around, we quietly moved many things to the storage space to save the trouble of carrying them.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng went to Xinhua Bookstore again and spent 17.60 yuan to buy a complete set of self-study books on mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng went to the pharmacy to purchase some necessary medicines before boarding the bus for the return trip.

This trip to the county town cost Lu Cheng more than 20 yuan.

This is a huge sum of money. Some families in Shuangshui Village may not be able to save this 20 yuan in a year.

Lu Cheng's savings of less than 1 yuan shrank by nearly 10/ in an instant.

By the time I got home, it was almost evening.

Lu Cheng put all his books and medicines back home, then took the gift that Tian Runye gave to Sun Shaoan and went to Sun Shaoan's house.

Sun Shaoan's family situation was not good. The whole family was crowded into two broken cave dwellings, and it could be said that they were penniless.

In fact, the path taken by the Sun family at the beginning was very similar to that of the Tian family. In both cases, the eldest son in the family concentrated on farming to support his younger brother to go to school and change his destiny.

The difference is that Tian Fujun from the Tian family was admitted to Renmin University and achieved class transition. Now he has begun to give back to the entire family, and even Tian Runsheng and Tian Runye have benefited from it.

The Sun family's situation was originally poor, and they spent almost everything they had to allow Sun Yuting to study.

After much difficulty, Sun Yuting was hired as a worker. However, he was fired from the factory because of his unclear relationship with the female workers.

Later, in order to help Sun Yuting get married, Sun Yuhou borrowed money from everywhere, and it was not until two years ago that he paid off all his debts.

Now, the Sun family still has to support Sun Shaoping and Sun Lanxiang's studies, and they won't be able to afford the bride price when Sun Shaoan gets married in the future.

The same road, different people walk on it, some people walk on the broad road, some people turn into the tree-lined path...
