Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Zhao Cheng couldn't figure it out, so he gave up. Since someone was fetching water for you, could you just pour it out and then go fetch it yourself? Someone like that must be a bit sick.

So Zhao Cheng quietly washed his face and brushed his teeth, then walked to the next room and knocked on the door.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Li Xiuzhi looked at Zhao Cheng timidly.

"Have you finished washing up? Come downstairs with me after you've washed up. Let's have a meal and then think about what you should do!" Zhao Cheng tried his best to smile more naturally so as not to scare the girl.

"Okay, Brother Zhao, wait for me a moment!" Li Xiuzhi nodded, went back to the house to pick up her two packages, and followed Zhao Cheng downstairs.

After arriving at the street, Zhao Cheng took Li Xiuzhi to a restaurant selling mutton soup with steamed buns. After entering the house, they ordered two bowls of mutton soup and five steamed buns.

Zhao Cheng brought mutton soup and took Li Xiuzhi to sit by the window, then found a table and sat down.

"Eat it. If it's not enough, I'll buy a few more!" Zhao Cheng pushed the mutton soup and steamed bun in front of Li Xiuzhi and asked her to eat quickly.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao!" Li Xiuzhi said in a low voice.

"Comrade Li Xiuzhi, how old are you this year? Why did you come out alone?" Zhao Cheng asked as he broke the steamed bun into pieces and threw it into the mutton soup.

"I'm 19 years old this year. There was a famine at home, so my parents asked someone to find a match for me. If I leave, my family will save enough food for one person, so my younger brothers and sisters and my parents can survive. That's why I came out on my own. The travel expenses were borrowed by my parents from the villagers." Li Xiuzhi also imitated Zhao Cheng and said while breaking steamed buns.

"Now you can't go to your sister's place, what are you going to do?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"I don't know either. I don't think my parents will let me go back. My family had a hard time borrowing money to get me out. If I go back, I'll have no way to make a living!" When she said this, Li Xiuzhi couldn't help crying again.

"Well, what about you? Do you have any plans?" Zhao Cheng looked at Li Xiuzhi who was crying silently. He knew that this girl was a good girl and probably would not think about going back.

"Brother Zhao, can you take me in? I'm not picky. Just give me something to eat. I can wash your clothes, cook for you and serve you!" Li Xiuzhi suddenly looked up at Zhao Cheng and said in a firm tone.

"Me? I can't do it. Although I don't look old, I am already 36 years old! Besides, my family situation is complicated and I can't explain it to you clearly in a short time. Anyway, it's very complicated. How about this? I will go to the station to buy you a ticket back home, and give you some money by the way, so that you can go back and pay off the debts at home first. There will be some surplus so that your family can continue to live for a while. When the autumn harvest comes, I guess your family will have enough to eat. What do you think?" The only way Zhao Cheng could think of was to help others to the end, to help the Buddha to the west, and to give Li Xiuzhi more support.

After hearing what Zhao Cheng said, Li Xiuzhi fell into deep thought. She was considering whether what Zhao Cheng said was possible.

"Brother Zhao, you gave me money, how can I repay you? I can't just accept your help for nothing, right? Yesterday you took me in and gave me a place to live, and today you treated me to such a delicious meal. I have no way to repay you!" Li Xiuzhi felt very embarrassed. The current situation was really a bit difficult for her, a 19-year-old girl.

"Hey, you don't have to pay it back." Zhao Cheng just finished speaking when he saw Li Xiuzhi start crying again. Knowing that this girl was still very ambitious, he reworded his words.

"How about this? I'll tell you my home address and name. When you have money, you can pay it back if you're willing. If you don't want to, that's okay. I don't need this little money! Just consider it as a good deed. What do you think?" Zhao Cheng thought of a compromise.

Li Xiuzhi thought about it and nodded silently. She would definitely return the money to Zhao Cheng. Even the money for last night's accommodation and today's breakfast, Li Xiuzhi had already remembered it in her mind and would return it to Zhao Cheng.

"Then it's settled. My train is at 4 pm, so you'll be in time. Let's eat quickly, and we'll go to the station to buy you a return ticket." Zhao Cheng smiled happily when he saw that Li Xiuzhi agreed. Did he do a good deed?

After they finished their breakfast, they walked towards the train station. When they arrived at the station, Zhao Cheng first asked if there were any tickets for the Chang'an to Mianyang train. After finding out that there were tickets, Zhao Cheng bought one for Li Xiuzhi.

After buying the tickets, Zhao Cheng took Li Xiuzhi to the outside of the station. After sitting down in a pavilion, Zhao Cheng gave the tickets to Li Xiuzhi.

"This is the ticket to Mianyang. You can find the way home from Mianyang, right? Get off at the place closest to your home. There is a hundred yuan in this envelope, which is enough for you to go home and pay off your debts and live on for the next few months. My home address is in it. If you want to pay me back, just pay me back at this address. Is there anything else you don't understand?" Zhao Cheng patiently explained each item to Li Xiuzhi.

"No more. Thank you, Brother Zhao. You are a good man. I will definitely return the money to you! Please rest assured!" Li Xiuzhi wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Zhao Cheng again, but Zhao Cheng quickly stopped her.

"No, just sit still. If you continue like this, I really won't help you!" Zhao Cheng threatened.

Li Xiuzhi no longer insisted and sat back in her seat.

"After you go home, explain everything clearly to your parents and live a good life. The famine will pass, and our difficulties are temporary. You must believe in the country and the government. We will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties. After all, our sun is still there! Don't you think so?" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

"Yeah." Li Xiuzhi was also affected by Zhao Cheng's words and relaxed a little. In this way, the two of them sat in the pavilion until noon.

At noon, Zhao Cheng treated Li Xiuzhi to another meal and bought her some dry food for her to eat on the train. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Cheng sent Li Xiuzhi on the train to Mianyang.

Seeing Li Xiuzhi's reluctant expression, Zhao Cheng just waved his hand and said nothing more.

Li Xiuzhi kept looking at Zhao Cheng, as if she wanted to carve his appearance into her heart. Zhao Cheng was the best person Li Xiuzhi had ever met. He not only treated her to a meal, but also bought her a train ticket and even gave her money so that she could go home and have an explanation.

Li Xiuzhi also understood that Zhao Cheng borrowed money from her without expecting her to pay it back. Brother Zhao was a truly good person. Li Xiuzhi would never forget the braised beef with soy sauce that Zhao Cheng treated her to. This was the first time in Li Xiuzhi's life that she had eaten such delicious food.

Two hours later, Zhao Cheng boarded the train home. Meeting Li Xiuzhi had been a surprise. He no longer knew how many film and television worlds this world consisted of. Some things were bound to change. His experience only allowed him to understand the general principles. Small details were bound to change a lot, and he couldn't completely trust information from his past life.

After a long and tiring journey, Zhao Cheng finally returned to Beiping in August 1966. After getting off the train, Zhao Cheng went straight home with his backpack on his back.

At this time, only Pingping was at home with her tenth child and the two younger children born to Tian Dan. The other children were either in school or in the Yuhong class.

Seeing Zhao Cheng coming back, Pingping ran over happily and hugged Zhao Cheng.

"Brother Cheng, how come it takes so long to send the third child to the border? What did Uncle Wang ask you to do that took three months?" Pingping confided to Zhao Cheng while hugging him.

"Don't worry about what's going on in the army. It's over anyway. I'm back, aren't I?" Zhao Cheng scratched Pingping's nose.

Pingping was already thirty-six, the same age as Zhao Cheng, and Tian Dan was forty, four years older. But Pingping looked like a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old in every way, and she was also the mother of ten children. If this were to be made public, I wonder how many people would envy her.

As for Tian Dan, after being nurtured by Zhao Cheng for so many years, she no longer looks like a woman in her forties. It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that she is in her twenties, but no one would object to saying that Tian Dan is thirty years old.

This is also the secret that Zhao Cheng discovered after so many years of observation. His body can not only benefit himself, but also benefit others. This makes Zhao Cheng very happy. In this way, he will have more time to spend with Yixing, and Zhao Cheng will not be too lonely.

In the evening, after Tian Dan and the children came back, Zhao Cheng felt the long-lost happiness again. Because Xiaojiu was the only girl left in the family and the rest were boys, Xiaojiu naturally sat next to Zhao Cheng to eat and pushed her mother aside.

"Haha, Xiaojiu, do you miss your daddy?" Zhao Cheng asked with a smile while hugging his daughter.

"Yes, Xiaojiu misses daddy!" Xiaojiu Wei Yang was born in 61 and is only five years old this year, so her baby voice is very endearing and usually makes Zhao Cheng very happy, not to mention that Zhao Cheng hasn't seen his daughter for almost five months.

After the family finished dinner, Zhao Cheng continued to take the children to exercise in the backyard. Tian Dan and Pingping watched from the side. They hadn't seen Zhao Cheng for several months and didn't want to separate from him at this time.

After finishing his workout and taking the children to wash up, Zhao Cheng's first priority was to coax his daughter to sleep. Because the second child, Wei Hong, had already gone to the army, Wei Yang had to sleep with his brothers. Fortunately, the room was big enough and the kang was a large bunk bed, otherwise it might not be enough.

By the time Zhao Cheng returned to the main house, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening. But after entering the house, Pingping and Tian Dan were still awake, waiting for Zhao Cheng to come back.

So Zhao Cheng quickly disarmed himself, lifted the quilt and got into bed, and found that Tian Dan and Pingping had already disarmed themselves, which saved Zhao Cheng a lot of trouble.

Zhao Cheng then began to work on the land, which he had not done for a long time. He first plowed the land back and forth, fertilized it again and again, and then moved on to the next field. In any case, Zhao Cheng had to plow the two fields four or five times in one night, otherwise the land would not be plowed well.
