Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

After Zhao Cheng went to Mingzhu, he had no business going out and started to work with peace of mind. Two months passed and everything was peaceful. Of course, this was only the lower level that was relatively peaceful.

Zhao Cheng was not interested in the changes in the upper class. He was now busy meeting with his in-laws to discuss the wedding.

Because they wanted to hold two weddings at once, Zhao Cheng planned to hold his daughter's wedding on the first day and pick up the bride on the second day, but Tian Dan rejected this idea.

"At this moment, what you are doing is too conspicuous. It's not good for others to see it." Tian Dan said.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Cheng asked puzzledly?

"Don't forget what the special court is doing now!" said Tian Dan.

Zhao Cheng realized as soon as he heard it. The top priority in Beiping now was the special court, and everything else had to give way to it.

"What should we do? Just keep a low profile and not do it?" Zhao Cheng said.

"How is that possible? How can we not have a wedding in our family?" Pingping said anxiously.

After all, it's her child, and marriage only happens once in a lifetime, so how could she not do it in a grand manner?

"Why are you in such a hurry? When did I say I wouldn't do it? Just don't make it as big a deal as Ah Cheng said. Two days is too much time!" Tian Dan said.

"Do you mean it will only be held for one day?" Zhao Cheng asked doubtfully.

"Yes, it will only last for one day!" Tian Dan said.

"What should I do in one day? I can't be too hasty in getting my eldest daughter married off, right?" Zhao Cheng was a little unwilling.

Wei Hong is the eldest daughter, and she was his only daughter until Xiaojiu was born, while the others were all sons, so Zhao Cheng loved this daughter especially.

"Don't you want to buy a yard for each of your children? Let's start looking now. We should be able to buy it for them before they get married, right? Once it's done, just give it to your eldest daughter. Then use it as their wedding house! Just let Chen Dongsheng take Wei Hong there! As for the eldest son? You can use the yard next door as your wedding house and let him live there!" Tian Dan said.

Zhao Cheng and Pingping looked at each other and had to admit that Tian Dan was more thoughtful.

"Then let them do it together! Don't talk about order!" Zhao Cheng said.

Because nowadays there is no ceremony or celebration for marriage. The newlyweds just take the oath directly, and at most the witness will say a few words.

After that, it's all about eating and drinking, which is pretty simple. We'll host neighbors and regular colleagues at the boss's new house, since they can get along well.

This courtyard of his own was used to receive his wife's family and some senior leaders. As for the old leaders that Tian Dan and Zhao Cheng knew, Li Yunlong would be in charge of receiving them!

Zhao Cheng had already made plans. Ever since his retirement, Li Yunlong had been wandering around the military compound doing nothing, either playing chess or drinking with others.

Aunt Tian Yu is so annoyed every day! If the children hadn't dissuaded her, she would probably get divorced again.

"Let Uncle Li Yunlong be in charge of the reception on the leadership side, and your colleagues can ask Wang Tiejun and Zhang Yuan to come. The neighbors can ask He Daqing to come, and you have to ask Sha Zhu to cook anyway!" said Tian Dan.

"That's fine. This arrangement is also good. It will prevent the neighbors from feeling uncomfortable seeing so many big leaders. Let them and my colleagues and comrades-in-arms mess around in the yard next door!" Zhao Cheng thought about it and felt that this arrangement was also good.

So from the next day on, whenever Zhao Cheng finished work, he would ride his bicycle around the streets. However, he usually went to places near the Forbidden City or the lakes.

Because Zhao Cheng remembered that there were few demolitions here, most of the courtyard houses were preserved. Moreover, there were many independent courtyards with property rights.

As for those slums, Zhao Cheng would not even touch them. There were too many troubles in those places. Just like the courtyard house where Zhao Cheng lived before, although it was large in area, it was not only old, but the tenants were also not easy to get along with.

It can be said that none of the shantytowns of this era are easy to get along with, except that there are not as many top-notch ones as the original courtyard houses. However, basically every courtyard house has a few top-notch ones.

After a week of searching, Zhao Cheng actually found a few courtyard houses that he was looking to sell. However, most of them had flaws, and few were completely trustworthy.

For example, there is a two-courtyard house near Beihai, which belongs to a poor family with three people. The two elder ones are too old, and the younger one is not very ambitious. He gambles all day long. Not only did he mortgage several houses, but he also owed a lot of debts.

Although such a yard can be bought, Zhao Cheng does not plan to buy it. Even if he buys it, he estimates that those two old guys will not make room for it, so it is better to stay away from it.

That day, Zhao Cheng met Xu Huizhen when he was walking near Zhengyang Gate. They talked for a few words. When Xu Huizhen heard that Zhao Cheng was buying a courtyard house as a dowry for his daughter, she told Zhao Cheng the news that she knew where there was a house for sale.

"Where?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"That was the original civilian area. It had three courtyards, but now only the first courtyard is habitable. The other two courtyards need to be renovated. Moreover, this only habitable courtyard is occupied by a scoundrel from the former Gwei. The original owner is not coming back, so we plan to sell it!" said Xu Huizhen.

"Are there still such scoundrels nowadays?" Zhao Cheng asked in confusion.

"Of course he has it in him. He's so shameless to live here. The main reason is that the landlord used to be a businessman of medium to large scale. He was overthrown a few years ago and was just released last year. His property was returned, but that scoundrel relied on the fact that he had many men under his command and didn't want to return the house." Xu Huizhen said with a roll of her eyes.

Zhao Cheng's reputation meant that everyone he met was a good person. Which bad guy would dare to challenge him?

"Does this rascal have powerful connections?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously.

"What's the connection? He just has a few desperate gangsters under his command. They spend all day eating, drinking and having fun instead of doing any real work. He has also gathered a bunch of hooligans in that yard to gamble all day long! He arrests them and releases them after two days. It's really annoying!" said Xu Huizhen.

"How do you know so much? Are you the troublemaker in your area? Are you deliberately asking me to help you solve those troubles?" Zhao Cheng had to look at Xu Huizhen with suspicion.

You have to know that Xu Huizhen's level is not low, and this woman is capable and visionary. She is definitely not a vase in those ordinary period dramas.

"Why would I lie to you? This is true! And if you don't believe me, we can go and see it. Only after seeing it can you know the benefits of this yard!" Xu Huizhen said with a smile.
