Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

The next day, Zhao Cheng drove to Shihezi under the leadership of the director of logistics.

Shihezi is still relatively poor now and has not developed much, but the middle schools and high schools here are at the same level as those in Urumqi, and because it is located on a major transportation route, its development is second only to Urumqi.

Among the group of people that Zhao Cheng had trained for Commander Chen, one person was not suitable for the special brigade because of injury, so he was transferred to the Production and Construction Corps, which happened to be in Shihezi.

Zhao Cheng first took Zhao Weijun and Ye Juan to Shihezi Middle School to register. One was a teacher in the third grade, the other was a student in the eighth. Because the military district's logistics director was with them, the paperwork went very quickly. The school also allocated Ye Juan a small room in a bungalow behind the school.

Ye Juan looked at the small courtyard. It was only twenty meters away from the back gate of the school, very close. And most importantly, the courtyard had a two-meter-high wall. Although it was made of adobe, it gave Ye Juan a great sense of security, which finally made Ye Juan's uneasy heart settle down.

Zhao Weijun looked left and right, observing everywhere, and found that in addition to the main house, this courtyard also had an east wing, and it also had a brick bed like the one at home. He immediately decided to move in and live there, so that he could have a good relationship with Third Mother and let her tie his father down, so that his father would not control him like he did in Beiping.

"Dad, I want to live with Aunt Ye. This way I can go to school closer, and Aunt Ye can tutor me after school!" Zhao Weijun walked to Zhao Cheng, put his arm around Zhao Cheng, and whispered.

"Do you think that if you move out, your Uncle Wang won't be able to control you?" Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Weijun's round eyes and knew that his third son was not holding back.

"Dad, how could you think this way about your son? I am also a top student, right? Although I don't love studying as much as my older brothers and sisters, my academic performance has never been out of the top ten in the school, right? Why can't I enjoy the same treatment as my older brothers and sisters?" Zhao Weijun quickly complained for himself.

"How dare you mention your elder brother and elder sister? If you were half as steady as your elder brother, I wouldn't have sent you to Xinjiang!" Zhao Cheng didn't fall for Zhao Weijun's tricks.

"Anyway, I'm going to live here. I won't go to Uncle Wang's house! It's the same if I move here after you leave. You won't be able to control me then!" Zhao Weijun muttered softly.

Zhao Cheng thought so too. He couldn't let Lao Wang watch him all day long. It would be the same if he wanted to move in. So he could only reluctantly let Zhao Weijun and Ye Juan live in this yard together.

"Teacher Ye, this kid Weijun insists on living in your house. He won't cause you any trouble, right?" Zhao Cheng helplessly told Ye Juan about Zhao Weijun's plan to move in.

"It's okay, I like Weijun very much. Besides, he lives with me, which gives me courage. Otherwise, I would be a little scared to live alone in such a big yard!" Ye Juan did not object to Zhao Weijun living in this place thousands of miles away from home. Ye Juan only knew Zhao Weijun now.

"Okay, if this kid doesn't listen, you can beat him up. If he doesn't listen after you discipline him, send me a telegram and I will ask my comrades to come and tie him up and beat him up for you! This kid doesn't do any serious work in Peking, so you must not be polite to him, especially don't be fooled by his sweet words! This kid has eight hundred ideas in his mind and is very cunning." Zhao Cheng said.

Ye Juan couldn't help laughing when she heard what Zhao Cheng said. This Zhao Weijun was indeed a complete little rascal as his father said. However, there was one thing about him: this kid had good character and personality, but he was too naughty and unruly, and seemed a bit lawless.

At noon, Zhao Cheng found his comrade-in-arms Wang Kai in the regiment's family compound.

"Instructor, why did you arrive only today? Didn't the telegram say that you should have arrived the day before yesterday?" Wang Kai was very happy to see Zhao Cheng. Back in North Korea, what Zhao Cheng taught them enabled them to make great achievements on the battlefield and their ranks were promoted again and again. Otherwise, based on his original performance, he could only be a small officer if he was injured and retired like now, and there was no way he could be transferred to the Construction Corps as the regiment commander like he is now.

"Don't mention it. The train was delayed, and Commander Wang of the military sub-district drafted me to train a special forces team for him here. I have to stay in Xinjiang for at least three months!" Zhao Cheng explained helplessly.

"Instructor, you are a capable person and should do more work. If you can train more special forces for the country, it will be a contribution to the country!" Wang Kai smiled and comforted Zhao Cheng.

"Don't mention it. Commander Wang came to me privately. He will tell Commander Zhou in Peiping about this matter when he goes to Peiping for a meeting tomorrow! How can it be the same?" Zhao Cheng smiled bitterly.

"Oh, my instructor comrade! Since Commander Wang wants to keep you, he must be sure. Just let him talk to him. Anyway, we are just here to work. Commander Zhou won't mind." Wang Kai said, putting his arm around Zhao Cheng's shoulders.

"By the way, didn't you say you would bring your third child with you this time? Where is the child?" Wang Kai asked curiously.

"Behind you! That's my third child!" Zhao Cheng nodded at Zhao Weijun who was grinning beside him, and signaled Wang Kai.

Wang Kai turned around, looked at Zhao Weijun, who was about the same age as him, and walked over to demonstrate.

"Comrade, you are not my instructor. How old is your third child?" Wang Kai asked in confusion.

"Fourteen! What's wrong?" Zhao Cheng turned around and said in confusion.

"What else? How many children have you seen who are this tall at the age of fourteen? He is almost as tall as me. Look at his muscles. Would I believe him if you told me he was eighteen? It's just his face that reveals his age." Wang Kai gestured exaggeratedly.

"My children enjoy eating everything they eat. They are all much bigger than other children. This is normal!" Zhao Cheng said proudly.

Zhao Cheng's words left Wang Kai speechless for a moment. How could he respond? He could only turn and look at Zhao Weijun.

"Good boy, you will definitely be a brave general in the future! I hope you can inherit your father's glorious tradition and continue to shine in the army!" Wang Kai patted Zhao Weijun's shoulder and looked at Zhao Weijun as if he were a treasure.

"Uncle Wang, am I not a soldier of the Construction Corps now?" Zhao Weijun was a smart guy. He let Wang Kai happily hug him and walked into the house.

"Old woman, have you prepared the meal? My instructor is here!" Wang Kai shouted loudly into the yard before he even entered the house.

"Okay, okay! Come in with your leader and sit down! We'll eat right away." Wang Kai's wife hurried out of the kitchen and said to Wang Kai.

"Instructor, this is my wife Gulmali, a Uyghur. I met her after I came here." Wang Kai pulled his wife over and introduced her to Zhao Cheng.

"Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Zhao Cheng. You can just call me Zhao Cheng. Don't listen to Old Wang calling me instructor all the time. He is five or six years older than me." Zhao Cheng smiled and shook hands with Gulmali.

"Hey, comrades, don't be polite. Come in and sit down! The food will be ready soon! Wang Nana, come out quickly and meet your father's comrades!" Gulmali shouted into the house.

After a while, a little girl about ten years old came out of the house. She was wearing traditional Uyghur clothing and dressed like a little princess. She walked in front of Zhao Cheng.

"Hello Uncle Zhao, I'm Wang Nana!" The little girl saluted Zhao Cheng very politely.

Zhao Cheng smiled and said nothing. Instead, he took out a new piece of clothing he brought from Peking from his backpack and handed it to Wang Nana.

"This is the new clothes your Aunt Zhao bought for you because she knew your uncle was coming. I hope our little Nana will like it!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

"Oh, instructor, you are too polite, aren't you?" Wang Kai knew it was quite expensive as soon as he saw the item taken out. After all, it was a small dress. Although it was quite simple, there were very few such clothes in the frontier at that time.

"My wife prepared this for your daughter. You can't take it back, right? Besides, I'd like to ask you to take good care of our third child in the future!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

Since Zhao Cheng said so, Wang Kai didn't know what to say and could only pull Zhao Cheng towards the house.

After Zhao Cheng and Wang Kai entered the house, Wang Nana came to Zhao Weijun and said to him, "Big brother, how come you are so tall and handsome?"

Zhao Weijun looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and didn't have any other thoughts. He just felt that the girl from Uncle Wang's family was quite pretty, that's all.

"It's like this in our family. My fourth and fifth brothers, who are about the same height as you, are taller than you!" Zhao Weijun was referring to Zhao Cheng's second set of twins: the fourth child, Zhao Weimin, and the fifth, Zhao Weilai. Both children were born in 1956 and are ten years old this year. They are both 1.3 meters tall, about ten centimeters taller than Wang Nana.

"Really? My mom said I was already very tall. I didn't expect there were other kids of the same age who were taller than me! Why didn't they come?" Wang Nana asked innocently.

"They didn't do anything wrong, so how could they come?" Zhao Weijun said.

"Big brother, do you mean that you came here because you made a mistake?" Wang Nana's innocent eyes made Zhao Weijun blush a little. How could he let the cat out of the bag all of a sudden?

"Weijun, Nana, come in quickly, it's time for dinner!" Just when Zhao Weijun didn't know how to answer Wang Nana's question, Wang Kai's voice came. Zhao Weijun immediately ran into the house and sat down obediently next to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng glanced at him without saying anything. Instead, he continued to chat with Wang Kai about the changes in recent years and told Wang Kai about Zhao Weijun's glorious deeds in Peiping.

This made Wang Kai look at Zhao Weijun with a new respect. He didn't expect that this kid was so cunning that he would think of betraying his father's whereabouts so that those Buddhists would pay tribute to him.

Zhao Cheng also told Ye Juan that Zhao Weijun was going to live in his house. Of course, he didn't mention that Zhao Weijun wanted Ye Juan to be his third mother. He only said that he met a female teacher on the train who came here from Shanghai to teach. She happened to be in the same school as Zhao Weijun, and the house they were assigned was just outside the back door of the school. This way, Zhao Weijun could tutor her and go to school with peace of mind, and the house could also help the female teacher look after the house. After all, it was normal for a female comrade to be a little scared living alone. After all, it was her first time to come here thousands of miles away from home, so it would be a lot more convenient to have someone she knew.

Wang Kai didn't say anything else, but told Zhao Weijun to come to his house during the holidays and ask her Aunt Wang to make something delicious for him! Don't go hungry!

Zhao Weijun naturally agreed without hesitation. After all, it was his decision whether to come or not. Uncle Wang was usually so busy, how could he have time to care about him?
