Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

After Tian Dan married Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng's life finally returned to normal, and time slowly came to the spring of 1966.

Over the past few years, Tian Dan, a frontline counter-espionage agent, had gradually grown accustomed to the ease of logistics work. With fewer than 200 people at headquarters, managing logistics was easy and not a complex undertaking.

Tian Dan had given Zhao Cheng two children in the past few years. In addition to the eldest, Tian Weifu, there was Zhao Weiyao, born in the summer of 64, and Zhao Weinong, who was born not long ago. Both were boys, so Zhao Cheng had truly become the father of thirteen children.

We had to set up two tables for meals every day. Fortunately, the youngest ones were only the two children born to Tian Dan. The youngest of Pingping's nine children was already two years old. She was conceived before her divorce from Zhao Cheng, and gave birth to Zhao Weiguang.

Thirteen children plus Zhao Cheng's family of three made a total of sixteen people. Zhao Cheng had to build the middle courtyard in 65. It had the same layout as the front courtyard, but with more rooms. The older children each had a room, while the younger children still had one for brothers and one for sisters. However, Zhao Cheng also allocated a separate room for each child who wanted to live on his own.

Unfortunately, there are only two daughters and eleven sons among the thirteen children! Zhao Cheng is worried every day, but Pingping is very happy every day. These children are now basically all taken care of by Pingping, who manages and educates them. Zhao Cheng and Tian Dan work hard every day to earn a salary to support this large family.

Zhao Cheng is no longer in charge of anything now, as all his power has been taken away by Ge Wei from the Municipal Bureau. He only patrols the streets once a day before taking a break. His salary hasn't dropped, and his workload has even decreased, making him very satisfied with his current life.

Zhao Cheng also had more time to wander around. No one cared about him anyway, so it was better if he didn't come out to fight for power. People in the branch and the municipal bureau knew that Zhao Cheng was famous for not fighting or competing, so even though some people in Ge Weizhong proposed to take down Zhao Cheng and replace him with their own people.

But the leader didn't agree. He simply took away Zhao Cheng's authority and told him to patrol the streets once a day. He could do whatever he wanted with the rest of his time. He could even skip work. As long as Zhao Cheng stayed at his job, no one would bother him. This was the reassurance Shi Gewei gave Zhao Cheng.

The reason why Zhao Cheng was given this special treatment was because Zhao Cheng had already established a solid relationship in the army. As the chief instructor of the special brigade of the Peking Military Region, the commander-in-chief personally visited Director Ge Wei.

So Zhao Cheng can be as carefree as he wants every day, but Tian Dan still has to report to the unit every day to arrange her work.

"Brother Cheng, the eldest and second oldest are about to graduate from junior high school, and they are not allowed to take the high school entrance exam. What should they do?" Pingping found Zhao Cheng and asked after Zhao Cheng came back that day.

"I'll find someone to send the troops over, or you can agree to let them go to the countryside. But if they go to the countryside, I suggest they go to Xinjiang, not nearby." Zhao Cheng said.

"Why? Isn't it possible around Peking? Even Northeast China is fine. Why do you want to go to Xinjiang?" Pingping looked at Zhao Cheng in surprise.

"The development opportunities there are much greater than here, and our children will be able to develop better if they go there. Don't forget who is in power in Xinjiang now!" said Zhao Cheng.

Pingping remembered that the person in charge of Xinjiang now is Tian Huaizhong's old superior, who has a very good relationship with Tian Dan's family and can definitely take care of her children.

"I think we should let them serve in the army first. I really don't want them to go to such a far place!" Pingping said a little reluctantly.

"What? Joining the army isn't far away? It's still the same as going to the countryside. What's the difference? Besides, if you really go to places like Xinjiang or Northeast China to join the team, it's much better than going to other places!" Zhao Cheng persuaded.

In the end, Pingping asked Zhao Cheng to find someone to see if the eldest and second sons could be sent to the army. She didn't want them to suffer in the countryside.

So Zhao Cheng could only ask his old comrades for help and arranged for the eldest brother Zhao Weidong to serve as a soldier in Chengdu. Because the Third Line Construction was underway there, it was easier to serve as a soldier there, and the eldest brother was also willing to participate in the Third Line Construction and contribute to the country.

But Zhao Cheng didn't just let his eldest son join the army. He also asked him to study hard and strive to get into a military academy! Zhao Cheng believed in his eldest son's ability and believed that getting into a military academy would be no problem at all.

The second daughter, Wei Hong, was arranged by Zhao Cheng to live in Peking. He really didn't want his eldest daughter to go far away. Finally, Zhao Cheng talked to Deputy Commander Zhou personally and arranged for his eldest daughter to live in Baoding and become a nurse, just like her brother. She should go to college if she has the chance.

After his older brothers and sisters left, Wei Jun started to dominate the family. After all, his eldest sister, who could suppress him, had gone to the army.

Unfortunately, Wei Jun's happiness didn't last long before his father suppressed him, allowing him to win a mixed doubles match. He was also the first person in the Zhao family to be in a mixed doubles match. Before, they had only ever had men's or women's singles, but their family had never had a mixed doubles match. And yet, Comrade Zhao Weijun got to do it.

The reason is very simple. It was because when Zhao Cheng was on patrol, he saw our comrade Zhao Weijun collecting protection money from a gangster. Zhao Cheng was hiding nearby and saw clearly that the gangster was the leader of a small Buddhist gang.

Originally, under Zhao Cheng's attack, there was no place for the Buddha to stay in Xizhimen. Every time Zhao Cheng saw him, he would break his hands and lock him up for a few days. No one would use him when he came out.

Unfortunately, Zhao Cheng didn't expect to be stabbed in the back by his own son. This kid actually betrayed his father's whereabouts in exchange for the offerings of this group of Buddhist masters. Moreover, this group of people were also smart. They did not attack inside Zhao Cheng's area, but ran to the border line to attack.

Because no one dares to come here, there is no competitiveness, which led to this kid taking advantage of the situation.

Zhao Weijun was a talented guy. He actually took the money and ran to Lao Mo to treat a bunch of classmates to a meal. He even tried to win over the students who didn't attend class to start a fight.

Fortunately, Zhao Weijun did not dare to go too far and only dared to follow the school leader to participate in the criticism.

That night, Zhao Weijun was matched up against Zhao Cheng and Pingping in a mixed doubles match. Not satisfied with the match, Zhao Cheng decided to send Zhao Weijun away.

"No, Brother Cheng, the third child is only fourteen years old. Where are you going to send him now?" Pingping was lying beside Zhao Cheng and gasping for breath, but was frightened by Zhao Cheng's words and sat up. Even Tian Dan next to her sat up in shock and looked at Zhao Cheng in disbelief.

"Send him to Uncle Wang in Xinjiang! This kid will be doomed if he continues like this. He lives too comfortably. His elder sister has joined the army and can't control him. We are usually too nice to him, which makes him a little arrogant. He must suffer a little!" Zhao Cheng said after thinking for a while.

"Aren't you kidding me? How can you be so cruel to such a young child?" Tian Dan punched Zhao Cheng a few times in anger, but unfortunately she had no strength left after exercising, so Zhao Cheng just glanced at her.

"How dare you two say that? You're the ones who usually spoil the kids. You're reluctant to let the eldest and second oldest join the army because they're young, and you're still spoiling the third oldest because he's started collecting protection fees? You have to go! And I'll go there myself! Li Yun is in Lanzhou, so I'll go over and take a look. Let's handle both official and private matters together to avoid you worrying." Zhao Cheng had made up his mind. He had to teach this kid Zhao Weijun a lesson.

Now Tian Dan and Pingping had no idea what to say. They knew that Zhao Cheng had made up his mind and they couldn't persuade him to change his mind.

So the next morning, after Zhao Cheng left for work, Pingping came to the room of the third guard. Looking at her third son lying on the kang and groaning, Pingping was angry at his lack of fighting spirit.

"Third brother, your father wants you to go to Xinjiang to work in the countryside." Pingping said slowly.

"What? Mom, what did you say?" Zhao Weijun asked in disbelief.

"Your father wants to send you to Xinjiang to join his comrades in the team!" Pingping repeated with a roll of her eyes.

"Why?" Zhao Weijun was a little panicked. He knew that his father loved his eldest sister, Zhao Weihong, the most in the family. Didn't he see that he didn't want to go far away when he sent her to join the army? He even arranged for someone to arrange for her to serve in Baoding.

"How dare you say that? Don't you know what you did?" Pingping said.

"Oh, I just want to feel what it's like to be the boss. My father is so strict on weekdays, can't he let me relax? Besides, there are no classes in school, and the whole day is spent criticizing this and that. I don't want to be a boss or something, so I can only help others and do the dirtiest and most tiring work!" Zhao Weijun is also a little devil. This kid betrayed his father to win people's hearts, and he is still quibbling.

"Please put away your little thoughts. Do you think your father doesn't know what you want to do? If your father hadn't seen far ahead, you would have been the one being criticized now!" Pingping only then understood the purpose of Zhao Cheng's actions.

"You don't have to send me to Xinjiang, right? If not, let my father send me to the Northeast. I can go find Bingkun there." Zhao Weijun still wanted to rescue him.

"How could your father not know what you are thinking? If he really lets you go to the Northeast, is it to teach you a lesson or to let you have fun? Do you still want to find Bingkun? Don't lead Bingkun astray! The Zhou family only has such an honest child, so don't cause trouble for your uncle Zhou!" Pingping said angrily.

Zhao Weijun now knew he had truly pissed off his father. It seemed he had to go to Xinjiang. But Zhao Weijun didn't see any downside to going there. Leaving his parents behind wouldn't that be like taking off from the ground? Finally, no one was watching over him! Was Zhao Weijun feeling a little excited?

Ping Ping knew from the look on Lao San's face that this kid was secretly happy. Ping Ping had no other choice. This kid had been wild since he was a child. Now that no one was controlling him, he was probably going to poke a hole in the sky.

"Be careful when you get there. Don't let anyone take advantage of you. When I get a chance, I'll ask your father to bring you back. Do you hear me?" Pingping warned.

"Oh, Mom, I get it. It's just a place far away. Don't worry, it's okay!" Zhao Weijun was not anxious at all. Instead, he imagined how he would play when he got there, where the sky was high and the emperor was far away.
