Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Of course, Li Kuiyong had no way of knowing Zhou Changli's true thoughts, so he could only pat Zhou Changli on the shoulder to comfort him.

Zhou Changli also smiled at Li Kuiyong. He knew that the road he was about to take would be a path full of thorns, and he couldn't let his good brother, who finally had a little hope in life, return to that quagmire.

Just like that, the two of them continued to talk about some other things, and then went back to their respective homes and mothers.

As the situation becomes more and more intense, Zhao Cheng rarely goes to the unit now. Except for necessary patrol tasks, he will not stay in the unit for too long. Anyway, all the power has been taken away by Ge Wei. Whether it is arresting people or detaining people, Ge Wei has the final say. The police station has become a mere formality.

Zhao Chengzhan's main task has become to take care of the pregnant women in the family. Tian Dan is pregnant, and Xiuzhi is also pregnant. However, Tian Dan is still working as usual, so Li Xiuzhi can only hide in the second courtyard of Zhao Cheng's house and passively become a lady of a noble family.

Moreover, because Zhao Cheng has a great influence in the circle of Peking gangsters, no one dares to attack his home, so Zhao Cheng's home is very safe and there is no need to worry about being discovered.

Every morning, Zhao Cheng would send a few children to school, and then report to work. He would stay at the work during the morning patrol, go home when he was not patrolling, and come back for the afternoon patrol.

In Pingping's words, the country is supporting Zhao Cheng with such a high salary, but he doesn't eat or work!

Zhao Cheng even thought about finding another job for Pingping. Anyway, Li Xiuzhi was at home now, and she could take care of the three children without any problem. She just had to make sure the children did not leave the yard.

Pingping was also very tempted. She had been taking care of the children at home for more than ten years and really wanted to go out to work and find something to do. After all, someone was giving birth to children for Zhao Cheng now, so she didn't need to continue giving birth. Finding a job would also help her pass the time.

Besides, Zhao Cheng basically stays at home now and has nothing to do, so he doesn't need Pingping to do anything.

Pingping discussed with Zhao Cheng where to work. The job at the steel mill had been given to Zhou Lili, so it was hard to get there. But getting into other places was equally difficult, and even then, the struggles of daily life were unacceptable. There really wasn't a good place to go.

In the end, Zhao Cheng still wanted Pingping to go to the steel mill, because Zhao Cheng knew that the steel mill was the most stable. As long as Li Huaide was dealt with, Pingping could safely survive this turmoil in the steel mill.

So Zhao Cheng found a small yellow croaker and took it to the steel rolling mill.

Finding Li Huaide was quite easy, especially since Zhao Cheng had previously worked at the Jiaodaokou Police Station. Although he was now in Xizhimen, his reputation remained, and Zhao Cheng's connections were no less impressive than Li Huaide's, though he simply didn't want to get involved in these matters.

When Li Huaide heard Zhao Cheng's request, he looked embarrassed.

"Director Zhao, your ex-wife was originally an employee of our steel rolling mill. She didn't come to work for some reasons, so it's no problem for her to return to work at the steel rolling mill. As for Zhou Lili, who replaced her, she is now the wife of the street director. She can legitimately arrange work for her in the name of factory-local cooperation. But I'm afraid other people may have objections to this!" Li Huaide said tactfully.

Of course, Zhao Cheng knew what Li Huaide meant by this. Pingping could come back to work, and Zhou Lili's replacement position could be cancelled and repositioned in the name of taking care of the families of street staff.

But he was afraid that others would have opinions about doing this, so Li Huaide almost said it clearly that he couldn't do it without any benefits!

Zhao Cheng directly handed the envelope containing the small yellow croaker to Li Huaide. After Li Huaide took it, he immediately discovered what was inside.

Li Huaide's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.

"Director Zhao, I'll take care of this matter for you! I admire you very much for taking care of your ex-wife and being such a good man who considers her! Let your sister-in-law come to the factory tomorrow, and I'll arrange it for you personally! How about it?" Li Huaide said with a smile.

"Haha, in that case, I'll be honored to refuse! But Brother Li, do you really have no impression of me?" Zhao Cheng suddenly said something that confused Li Huaide.

"Brother, have we met before?" Li Huaide looked at Zhao Cheng carefully.

"Brother Li, you are a forgetful person. Before liberation, I delivered information to a dead mailbox on behalf of my current wife! I remember when I came out of that alley, Brother Li, you were walking in! You must have gone to that dead mailbox to get the information, right?" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

Li Huaide thought about it carefully and found that he did have some impression of Zhao Cheng's face. The two of them had met each other before, but because the situation was tense at that time, he did not pay attention to why Zhao Cheng went there. He just thought that Zhao Cheng happened to pass by and picked up the black man!

"Brother, your current lover's surname is Tian?" Li Huaide asked tentatively.

"Yes, she is now the logistics director of their unit. She was transferred due to health reasons!" Zhao Cheng said.

"Oh, brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? This is really a case of family not recognizing each other as family! You should have told me earlier about this relationship! Take this back? You are slapping your brother in the face!" Li Huaide pretended to be angry and wanted to return the small yellow croaker to Zhao Cheng.

"Brother Li, this is the rule, we can't break the rule! Besides, my ex-wife still needs your care at the factory! Brother Li, don't worry, only the two of us know about this, I won't tell anyone else! We brothers will have plenty of opportunities to get along in the future. Brother Li, if you do this, your younger brother won't be able to ask you for help in the future if he has problems!" Zhao Cheng stopped Li Huaide who wanted to return the small yellow croaker and put it back into Li Huaide's pocket.

Seeing Zhao Cheng's sincerity, Li Huaide stopped refusing. Since they had a special relationship and Zhao Cheng was so capable, Li Huaide certainly couldn't break the rules, right? So Li Huaide decided to take care of Pingping and give her a leisurely position as a file clerk at the steel mill.

This position is perfect for Pingping now. She only needs to do a little work but gets a good salary. She also has the status of a reserve cadre. Maybe she can become a factory cadre in the future.

It was not until Pingping came home from get off work the next day that Zhao Cheng found out that Li Huaide had arranged such a job for Pingping. But it was okay. After all, it was just to find something for Pingping to do so that she wouldn't be too bored at home.

When winter came, Zhao Cheng was finally able to find a way out for Li Kuiyong.

In the autumn, Li Kuiyong had already obtained his junior high school diploma. In the past few months, Li Kuiyong has been using his father's tricycle to transport goods for others. This can earn some money to supplement the family expenses and also prevent Li Kuiyong from hanging out with the little bastard again.

Zhao Cheng already knew that the little bastard Zhou Changli was released early, and Zhou Changli had recently made quite a name for himself in the circles of the city. However, for some reason, this kid had been asking about the news of the children in the compound. Zhao Cheng also didn't know that Zhou Changli's father had committed suicide, so he was just puzzled and didn't care about Zhou Changli's affairs.

Even if Zhou Changli had some courage, he would not dare to cause trouble for Zhao Cheng. Zhou Changli also knew this, so after he came out, he never went to Xizhimen, not even to see Lao Mo.

That afternoon, when Zhao Cheng had nothing to do, he came to Li Kuiyong's house. Only Li Kuiyong's mother was at home. Several children were at school, and Li Kuiyong had gone out to pull a cart.

"Director Zhao, are you here to look for Kuiyong? He is not at home. I will go and get him for you!" Mother Li said as she was about to go out.

"Sister-in-law, no need. Just tell me approximately where Kuiyong is. I can ride my bike faster to save Kuiyong from having to go back and forth. It's cold and the roads are slippery, and it's not convenient for you!" Zhao Cheng quickly stopped Li's mother.

"Kuiyong usually works for others near the station. You can find out where he is by asking there! Why don't I go there?" Li's mother still felt that Li Kuiyong should be found.

"It's near the station, right? Then I'll go over there. Sister-in-law, you can continue with your work!" Zhao Cheng said and left. Li's mother accompanied him to the gate of the slum and only went back to the house after watching Zhao Cheng walk away.

When Zhao Cheng found Li Kuiyong, the boy was wearing a tattered cotton jacket, sitting on his tricycle with his hands tucked in, waiting for work.

"Kui Yong!" Zhao Cheng shouted.

"Uncle Zhao! Why are you here?" Li Kuiyong heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was Zhao Cheng. He quickly jumped out of the car and walked towards Zhao Cheng.

"I have something to talk to you about. Pull the cart and follow me!" Zhao Cheng did not hesitate. It was really not the right time to talk outside in such a cold weather, so Zhao Cheng walked towards the tavern.

That’s right, it’s the tavern at Zhengyangmen, not far from here, and it’s a great place for conversation.

Entering the tavern, Zhao Cheng ordered two taels of wine and a stack of peanuts, and took Li Kuiyong to a corner.

While waiting for his food, Zhao Cheng realized that everyone in the tavern was saying anything. Could it be because Xu Huizhen was the director of the subdistrict office? And Cai Quanwu didn't care?

But Zhao Cheng didn't want to get involved in their affairs. He just came to talk to Li Kuiyong and leave after that.

So Zhao Cheng took the wine and food and went to the seat in the corner.

"Uncle Zhao, why did you come to see me today? Is there something you need my help with? If so, just tell me!" Li Kuiyong had a drink with Zhao Cheng and asked directly.

"Kuiyong, have you decided what to do in the future?" Zhao Cheng asked?

"Uncle Zhao, you know my situation. It's really hard to find a job now. Although our family's life is much better now, we can't afford the burden of finding a job! So I plan to sign up to go to the countryside after a while." Li Kuiyong said a little sadly.

"Do you want to join the army?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"What? Uncle Zhao? What did you just say?" Li Kuiyong couldn't believe his ears and asked excitedly.

"I said, do you want to join the army?" Zhao Cheng looked at the excited Li Kuiyong and could only repeat it again.

"Of course I've thought about it, but can I go? Nowadays, being a soldier is much harder than finding a job!" Li Kuiyong calmed down his excitement and drank another glass to suppress his excitement.

"I can take you there! But I also have a condition!" said Zhao Cheng.

"What conditions? Uncle Zhao, tell me! Will this cause you any trouble? If it does, forget it, but it would be bad if it doesn't!" Li Kuiyong said.

"Being a soldier is not a problem. What is a problem is whether you can persist in it! I don't want you to give up halfway. Since you have chosen to be a soldier, you must do it well, because you represent my face when you go, and you can't embarrass me!" Zhao Cheng smiled and patted Li Kuiyong's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao! I will definitely not embarrass you!" Li Kuiyong looked at Zhao Cheng with firm eyes.
