Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 406 Home

After Zhao Cheng returned to the unit, he went straight to Wang Tiejun to hand over his work. Anyway, he was now suspended from work for reflection, and he didn't have to report to the police station every day. This was more in line with Zhao Cheng's idea.

This time, I was just getting paid without doing any work. What could be more gratifying than this? Obviously not.

Wang Tiejun had no way to deal with Zhao Cheng's decision to quit. He was powerless. The director gave the order personally, so he had no right to question it.

Even though Zhao Cheng could go directly to the Municipal Bureau to see the Director, Wang Tiejun could only go to the Branch Bureau to see the Political Commissar. This was the difference. However, Wang Tiejun also knew that if Zhao Cheng was allowed to work now, he would have to agree to the Director's conditions. But if he could agree, would he still suspend him for reflection?

In the end, Wang Tiejun could only take over the burden of the entire police station with a bitter face amid Zhao Cheng's smile, and he could only rely on himself from then on.

After Zhao Cheng returned home, he told Xiuzhi about this.

"Brother Cheng, this promotion is obviously a good thing, why don't you do it?" Li Xiuzhi asked naively.

"Xiuzhi, this is not a good thing. The director of the Fengtai branch is a trap. If I become the director, I will be in the same boat with Director Liu. Although he seems to be in a good position now, they have no future. I may also be dealt with after they are dealt with, so you should stay away from this matter as far as possible." Zhao Cheng explained while teasing the child a few times.

"Will it be okay? I see people are being criticized and arrested everywhere now. I hope they won't cause trouble for our family?" Xiuzhi asked worriedly.

"No, even though I've been suspended from work for reflection, the director doesn't dare to do anything to me. Why do you think I've been able to stay quiet until now? Our family is not that easy to bully!" Zhao Cheng assured Xiuzhi.

He knew that Xiuzhi wasn't in the same situation as Tian Dan, nor had she been with him through so many things like Pingping. She was just a young girl, barely twenty years old, and at the same age in the future, she would have just started college. How could she understand the twists and turns in these things?

So Zhao Cheng had to reassure Xiuzhi. Otherwise, she'd probably be lying awake at night thinking about all this. But Xiuzhi also had one thing in mind: since she'd followed Zhao Cheng, she wouldn't complain, no matter if he was a cadre or a street urchin. Instead, she'd devote her wholehearted attention to the family.

"Brother Cheng, Sister Ping wrote to me saying that the names you gave to the two children were not good. San'er said that they could be named Wei Yi and Wei Shang." Xiuzhi took out the letter received today from the cabinet and handed it to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng took the letter and read the contents. Pingping even told him about what her third son had said about how he was destined to have few daughters and would just give them random names when the time came. This made him feel a little amused.

"Okay, let's do as the letter says and call them Wei Yi and Wei Shang. Since Zhao Laosan has the ability, I'll write to him and ask him when I want to name something next time. When his younger brothers and sisters are not satisfied with the names in the future, they can ask their third brother to come to them, so I won't be blamed!" Zhao Cheng put the letter back with a smile.

Xiuzhi felt helpless when she heard what Zhao Cheng said, but she also felt that the name Weijun gave was better than the one his father gave. Fortunately, Brother Cheng did not insist on his opinion, otherwise her child would be named Weibing Weifa, which sounded a bit awkward.

After Tian Dan came back in the evening, when the family was sitting at the table for dinner, Zhao Cheng also told Tian Dan about this matter.

Tian Dan's opinion was also that Zhao Cheng should not go. The struggle in Fengtai was too intense now. Fighting had become commonplace. Once Zhao Cheng went in, there was no way he could get out.

In this way, Zhao Cheng began his life of taking care of the children at home. He and Xiuzhi looked after the kids at home every day and were free and happy every day.

In May 67, Pingping returned to Peking from the border and brought back a piece of news to Zhao Cheng. That is, Bingyi and Hao Dongmei in the border had been transferred back to the Northeast to a small village at the foot of Changbai Mountain. Bingyi was serving in the county town there, and Dongmei was working in the village below.

"Brother Cheng, how did you think of asking someone to transfer Bingyi and Dongmei back? Their development in the border areas is much better than in the Northeast. The border areas give great preferential treatment in all aspects to young people like them who are educated and ambitious!" Pingping didn't understand why Zhao Cheng wanted to intervene in this matter.

"There's no other way. Old Zhou asked me to see if I could move Bingyi. The frontier is too far away from home. Mrs. Zhou at home worries about Bingyi all day long, and no matter how Bingkun tries to persuade her, it's useless. Even Zhou Rong, who went to the countryside in Jichun to work in the fields, can't go home on weekends. So he can only write to me and beg me!" Zhao Cheng explained.

In fact, it was very easy for Zhao Cheng to mobilize Bingyi, because Bingyi was on the construction corps side, and the Northeast was also on the construction corps side, so it was not difficult to mobilize him.

The real trouble was Hao Dongmei. Zhao Cheng knew Zhou Bingyi wouldn't agree to the transfer without Hao Dongmei. So Zhao Cheng had to ask Wang Bo to intervene and finally finalize the matter. This also forced Zhao Cheng to agree to a number of conditions before leaving. He even had to go to the border to be tested by his special operations squadron if he went again.

This was something that made Zhao Cheng's heart bleed. Going to the snowy plateau to test the special forces team, wouldn't that just mean he had to go there to provide guidance and training? The first time was already hard enough, and now there's another one? Zhao Cheng could only sigh helplessly.

After Pingping came back, Zhao Cheng finally had some free time. He could now spare some time every day to go to the park and chat with those retired old people.

At first, these old guys were surprised that Zhao Chengzhen would retire early at his age. Later, when they heard that he was forced to go home and rest by his superiors, they understood.

They were all insiders, and they knew all the twists and turns involved. They also comforted Zhao Cheng, telling him not to get angry, and that the country would solve these problems sooner or later.

However, when they heard that Zhao Cheng also had a military position and was not completely an administrative staff member, they were unwilling to pay any attention to Zhao Cheng.

Everyone was originally frustrated, trying to comfort each other. We agreed to grow old together, and now you're telling me about the wig you're wearing? This is tolerable. The fact that these old men didn't collectively beat Zhao Cheng up was because he was such a good fighter.

So they started to follow the principle of "if you can't mess with me, you can avoid me" and stopped playing with Zhao Cheng. This made Zhao Cheng feel disappointed for a while.

But Zhao Cheng quickly adjusted his mindset and said, "If you don't play with me, I won't play with you either!"

So Zhao Cheng started to change his entertainment method, that is, to learn to collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings. It became Zhao Cheng's hobby. To this end, Zhao Cheng specially went to find the movie actor at the entrance of the tavern!
