Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

"After this time, don't hang out with them anymore and go to school quietly! Remember to come find me after graduation! Do you hear me?" Zhao Cheng looked at Li Kuiyong who had been keeping his head down and not saying anything in front of him, and ordered in a serious tone.

"I understand, Uncle Zhao. From today on, I won't hang out with them anymore. I will study hard and try to get into high school." Li Kuiyong also made a promise to Zhao Cheng.

However, Zhao Cheng knew that it was good enough that Kui Yong could graduate from junior high school successfully, and he hoped that it would not affect them so early.

"Okay, uncle believes you! Remember to come to me if you encounter any problems. My family has moved to Meichang Hutong. If you have any problems, just go to my workplace and find me directly! Do you hear me?" Zhao Cheng touched Li Kuiyong's head, and in the blink of an eye, it reached his shoulder. This kid has grown up.

"I understand, Uncle Zhao!" Kui Yong wiped his tears and said with a sob.

In fact, he also knew that he was a loser and could not help his family, but he could not see the way forward. What else could he do if he didn't fool around?

At least they can get free meals often by hanging out with their friends. No matter who treats them, they will bring Li Kuiyong along. After all, Li Kuiyong has a good relationship with the little bastard, so everyone gives him some face. In addition, Kuiyong himself is also a good fighter, so this group of people needs a strong general like Li Kuiyong even more.

However, since Zhao Cheng came to persuade him and promised to find a way for him after graduating from junior high school, Li Kuiyong's confused heart became hot again.

After all, if you can really work honestly, who would be willing to go astray?

After sending Li Kuiyong away, Zhao Cheng looked around the bustling Old Mo Hall, which was packed with the boys from the compound. Li Yuanchao acted like an older brother, treating his friends to good food and drinks.

Even older people like Xin Heizi were polite to Li Yuanchao, but Zhao Cheng thought that Xin Heizi was just a freeloader. This guy now avoided him and didn't dare to meet him at all.

However, Zhao Cheng couldn't pick a fight with Xin Heizi, so he could only let him stay in his own little corner. He heard that this guy was doing really well in the Jiaodaokou area, with a bunch of guys following him around the streets all day long.

Zhang Yuan is no longer in the Jiaodaokou Police Station and has been promoted to the branch. Although Zhao Cheng doesn't want to be promoted, he can't let others do the same as him, right?

Zhao Cheng watched for a while and felt that it was a bit inappropriate for him to stand outside while these guys were eating and drinking inside, so he went back. Anyway, no matter how much trouble these guys made, they would not fight in their own area, so he let them do whatever they wanted.

Not long after Zhao Cheng left, someone else came to Lao Mo's door to observe the situation. This guy was obviously much more stunned than Li Kuiyong. He just watched the excitement inside Lao Mo in a swaggering manner, and then even walked in directly to observe closely what these people in the compound were doing.

When he heard that what these guys were discussing had nothing to do with his group, the boy was obviously relieved, and then ran out of Lao Mo to report the news.

After Zhao Cheng returned home in the evening, Tian Dan had not come back yet, and only Pingping was at home looking after the three children.

"Brother Cheng, do you want me to take care of the house we have in Shanghai? These days I heard from people in the alley that it seems the country is going to introduce some policies to strictly restrict personal housing issues." Pingping suddenly thought of the news she heard today and quickly told Zhao Cheng about it.

"The house was originally entrusted to Zheng Chaoyang, but this guy ran away to Guangzhou. It is still being rented out. I will take a leave and go there tomorrow. If I can handle it, I will handle it. If not, I can only find a reliable person to rent it out. Anyway, the house is not worth much now, and no one wants it!" Zhao Cheng was not worried about the house at all.

In fact, before the 1980s, housing was not a necessity for the people. As long as the work unit could solve the housing problem, no one would forcibly occupy other people's houses, even during special periods.

It was not until the reform and opening up, when houses became commercial housing, that people began to buy those old courtyards and wait for promotion.

Moreover, no one would have thought that houses in later generations would appreciate to that extent, otherwise no one would have sold their courtyard houses in Beijing in the 1990s to go abroad and wash dishes.

"Well, it's best to handle them all. This way it will be in line with your wishes and won't cause any trouble!" Pingping didn't forget to tease Zhao Cheng.

Sometimes Pingping also feels that her man is too cautious. With his own relationship with Tian Dan, what else could go wrong?

Zhao Cheng didn't say anything, but was thinking about how to deal with the housing problem in Shanghai. The house he had bought was on Huanghe Road in Shanghai, which would be a prosperous area in the future. However, Zhao Cheng was not very satisfied with the location. He still preferred houses by the river, but houses by the river were expensive and no one was selling them!

Zhao Cheng was thinking about the problem while cooking. After Tian Dan came back, the family had dinner and rested for a while. Then Zhao Cheng took the children to the backyard to practice martial arts. Now this has become a must-have course in the family.

After finishing his workout, Zhao Cheng washed up and went back to Tian Dan's room, where he lay down on the kang (kang). Pingping and Tian Dan took their children to rest in the main room.

Tian Dan had her period these days, and Pingping didn't dare to live with Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng also felt sorry for his wife, so he moved into this house.

The next day, Zhao Cheng went to his workplace to tell Wang Tiejun he would be going to Shanghai in a couple of days to take care of some personal matters. Wang Tiejun didn't ask much, simply telling Zhao Cheng that the office was fine and that he should contact the branch office and request leave.

Zhao Cheng asked for leave from the branch and left for Shanghai a week later.

When Zhao Cheng returned home and decided on the itinerary, Tian Dan asked to go with him, which surprised Zhao Cheng very much.

"Sister Dan, why are you following them? Is everything okay at your unit?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously.

"Right now, there aren't that many things going on. The domestic situation has basically stabilized, and spies are no longer a threat," said Tian Dan.

"Then what are you going to do in Shanghai?" Pingping also asked her own doubts.

"Zhao Cheng's house must be disposed of quickly. If not, transfer it to my name or Wei Fu's name. Otherwise, it will always be a troublesome matter." Tian Dan also said seriously.

Ever since she followed Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng had told Tian Dan about some of his family's circumstances, and Tian Dan had learned a little bit about them. She also felt that Zhao Cheng's house must be disposed of as soon as possible, and if it really couldn't be done, she could ask the street office for help.

Because Tian Dan got the news earlier than Zhao Cheng and others, she knew that multiple properties might be investigated.

After listening to Tian Dan's explanation, Zhao Cheng stopped worrying about it. He decided to go to Shanghai and transfer the house to Tian Weifu's name.

When I have the chance in the future, I will buy a few more Siheyuans, one for each child. In any case, this is the most convenient way to increase my value.

Unless Zhao Cheng goes into business in the future, there is really no way for him to save money for his children.

However, Zhao Cheng probably doesn't have many opportunities to do business. Not to mention anything else, unless something goes wrong with Zhao Cheng's army, they will not let Zhao Cheng leave easily.

A week later, Zhao Cheng and Tian Dan boarded a train to Shanghai. When Zhao Cheng set foot on Shanghai's land again, he was still defeated by the scorching weather.

"The only bad thing about the South is that it's too hot and there's no heating in the winter. I really can't stand the damp and cold!" Zhao Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

In his previous life, he had the opportunity to stay in the south to work, but unfortunately he couldn't stand the hot and humid climate in the south, so he had to give up and return to his hometown.

"You're from Northeast China, and you're afraid of the cold?" Tian Dan asked curiously.

"The cold in Northeast China is only outdoors, and it's still quite warm indoors. The cold in the south can penetrate deep into the bone marrow. It's completely different," said Zhao Cheng.

The two of them chatted as they walked towards the house Zhao Cheng bought.

After arriving at the place, Zhao Cheng looked at the small building in front of him and introduced it to Tian Dan.

Tian Dan didn't say anything, but instead carefully examined the two small buildings. Huanghe Road was very prosperous now, and housing here had been hard to come by in recent years. Many of the houses were owned by long-time residents.

Zhao Cheng took Tian Dan to find the tenant who helped Zhao Cheng maintain the house: Wang Ying from the machinery factory.

"Old Wang, are you there?" Zhao Cheng knocked on Wang Ying's door.

"Here I come!" A woman's voice came from inside. After a while, the door opened and it was a middle-aged woman.

"Who are you looking for?" the woman asked.

"Excuse me, is this Wang Ying's home? I am the landlord of this small building, and I came to see Wang Ying about something!" Zhao Cheng stepped forward and said.

"Oh, it's Mr. Zhao. Please come in. Wang Ying is at work now and will be back for lunch in about half an hour. Please sit here for a while. I'll go buy some vegetables and you can have lunch at my house!" The woman was Wang Ying's wife. She had never seen Zhao Cheng, but she had heard from her husband that Zhao Cheng was the owner of the two adjacent small buildings here.

"Sister-in-law, you are so polite. We would be very sorry to refuse!" Zhao Cheng was not polite to Wang Ying. He had no place to stay here, so he could only have a meal at Wang Ying's house.

"Oh, you're so polite, aren't you? We're your tenants too. It's no big deal to have a meal with you. Please sit down first. I'll go buy some ingredients and be back soon." After saying this, the woman quickly took off her apron and went out.

"The house-hunter you found is quite reliable, at least he's a nice person!" Tian Dan looked at the layout of Wang Ying's house and felt that Wang Ying should be a senior worker in a machinery factory and his family was not short of money.

"I gave him some benefits when I asked him to help me look at houses!" Zhao Cheng rolled his eyes at Tian Dan.

"What benefits?" Tian Dan became even more curious.

"It's a benefit of twelve dollars a year. It's just to help me collect the rent. If there is any damage to the house, I can just use the rent to hire someone to help repair it!" said Zhao Cheng.

"Besides, we can collect the rent once a year. Whoever comes to Shanghai can collect it. If not, we can keep it for next year." After listening to what Zhao Cheng said, Tian Dan corrected the plan.
