Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

In the living room of the west wing of the front yard of No. 95 Luoguxiang, south of Beijing.

Zhao Cheng, Pingping and Dao Meilan were sitting at the table eating.

"Well, now that Zhao Cheng is back, Pingping doesn't have to wait with tears in her eyes every day!" Dao Meilan teased Pingping, whose eyes were still red and swollen, while eating.

Pingping had just cried in Zhao Cheng's arms, pouring out all the longing she had felt for him for the past two months.

"Sister-in-law, you just know how to tease me!" Pingping said to Dao Meilan a little embarrassedly.

"Sister-in-law, I heard from Pingping that you are pregnant too? I really feel a little sorry!" Zhao Cheng had just learned from Pingping that Dao Meilan was pregnant. He felt a little sorry for Jin Hai, asking his wife to accompany his wife even though she was pregnant.

"Hey, when you first came to me, I didn't realize you were pregnant! It's not your fault. Besides, it's nice for me to live here with Pingping, and I can have a companion. Your two children are not noisy, and they are all well-behaved and sensible. Even without me, I believe Pingping can take care of herself!" Dao Meilan waved her hand casually.

"Come, sister-in-law, I'll have tea instead of wine. Thank you for taking care of me during this period!" Zhao Cheng picked up the teacup on the table and toasted Dao Meilan in a proper manner.

"Zhao Cheng, didn't you say you would be gone for more than three months? Why are you back so soon?" Dao Meilan asked curiously after taking a sip of tea.

"The work in Shanghai is basically finished. It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not. Besides, Zheng Chaoyang and the other three have been left there, so they don't need me anymore!" said Zhao Cheng.

"It's better for Zheng Chaoyang to stay in the south. I heard from Pingping that the reason you went to Shanghai this time was because Zheng Chaoyang insisted on taking you there. Now, he stayed on his own!" Dao Meilan couldn't help laughing when she said this.

She had come into contact with Zheng Chaoyang a few times before at Jin Hai's house, all during gatherings with the group of brothers she had met. This Zheng Chaoyang gave Dao Meilan the impression that he was a bit out of tune.

"Actually, Director Li also asked me to stay, but my wife and children are still in Peking, and I can't bear to leave Peking. Besides, I really can't stand the hot and humid climate in the south! So I refused!" Zhao Cheng's calm words made Dao Meilan and Pingping feel a little special, which they couldn't explain.

But Pingping's eyes immediately brightened up. She looked at her man with admiration. "My brother Cheng is so outstanding. People appreciate him wherever he goes! That's great!" Pingping was secretly proud of herself.

"Since Xiao Zhao is back, I'll go home this afternoon. Your brother should be back in a few days, too. He always comes back, only to stay a few days before leaving again. Sigh!" Dao Meilan hadn't expected that Jin Hai would be transferred away after they got married. Although he could come back once every ten days or half a month, he couldn't stay more than two days before having to leave.

"It's not bad for brother to go to that place. Although he will be away from you for a long time, it will still be very beneficial for his future! Believe me, sister-in-law, this step taken by brother is worth it. You will know it in the future!" Zhao Cheng said affirmatively.

It was Zhao Cheng who had helped Jin Hai make the decision to go to Gongdelin. With this resume, Jin Hai was basically in a safe position.

"I hope so. Your elder brother also said that you can see far, so he decided to go!" Dao Meilan was a little depressed. After all, it was quite difficult to manage the family alone.

"Let's not talk about that, sister-in-law. I'll call a car to take you back later. You're pregnant, so don't get hurt again. Otherwise, my eldest brother will blame me when he comes back!" Zhao Cheng said.

"Okay, then I'll be back after dinner, so I won't disturb you two from enjoying your long-awaited wedding!" Dao Meilan said mischievously, staring at Pingping.

Dao Meilan's words made Pingping lower her head in embarrassment, almost burying her head in the mountain.

After the three of them finished their meal, Pingping helped Dao Meilan pack up while Zhao Cheng went to the alley entrance to call a taxi. After seeing Dao Meilan off, Zhao Cheng watched the back of Dao Meilan's car disappear at the alley entrance. He took Pingping's hand and walked home.

"Hey, Xiao Zhao, when did you come back? I heard that you went to Shanghai on a business trip?" When entering the room, Zhao Cheng and his wife met Jia Zhang who was about to go out.

Ever since Old Jia died, Jia Zhang had become aggressive. She would call out to Old Jia every now and then in the yard. Sometimes, she would yell at him in the middle of the night because Jia Dongxu was taking the blame, which had kept Pingping awake at night.

Pingping didn't give Jia Zhang a good look. She looked at Jia Zhang with a leisurely look and went straight back to her home.

"Sister-in-law Jia, I just came back at noon today. Are you going out?" Zhao Cheng didn't care too much about Jia Zhangshi. He didn't provoke his family for no reason. There was nothing he could do if he was affected occasionally. If he lived in the countryside, he would have to come and check on them even if they had a quarrel. If he lived in a slum, there was no way he could do anything about it.

The reason why Jia Zhangshi is so aggressive is just her own protective color. There is no need for Zhao Cheng to deal with her over such a small matter. Zhao Cheng is not a big shot.

"Oh, isn't Dongxu taking over his father's job and working at the steel mill? I don't want to cook at home this noon, so I'd like to go out and get something to eat." Jia Zhang's face was full of pride, as if it was a great achievement for Jia Dongxu to be able to work at the steel mill.

Zhao Cheng wasn't angry, but instead congratulated her with a smile. There was no point in arguing with an ignorant peasant woman. Zhao Cheng watched as Jia Zhang went out to eat with a smug look on her face.

"She's so fat because she's been eating cheating! She's trying to improve her own diet without even thinking about her precious son. She deserves it!" Zhao Cheng shook his head and walked towards home.

"Uncle Cheng, you're back? Have you eaten yet?" Little Shazhu came out of the middle courtyard and greeted Zhao Cheng when he saw him. His father had specifically told him to be polite when meeting Zhao Cheng and never to offend this "living devil."

"Oh, Zhuzi. Where are you going?" Zhao Cheng looked at the honest and simple Zhuzi, curious as to how he ended up like that. Was this love for widows really hereditary?

"My father found me an apprenticeship job. I came home to see my sister after finishing my work at noon, and was just about to go back to the restaurant to continue working." Xiao Shazhu smiled and answered quickly.

"Okay, then go to work! I'll be home soon!" Zhao Cheng didn't ask where Sha Zhu was. Why did he ask a kid about that? He should just go home and hug his little wife Xiang!

"Brother Cheng, what did that old woman Jia Zhang say to you?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously after he entered the room.

"What else can I say? Just showing off. Her big son is her treasure. It's a pity that the treasure is not as great as herself!" Zhao Cheng walked to the edge of the kang and said while looking at the two sleeping children.
