The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Chapter 2454 A way out

Zhao Shucheng naturally saw that Zhong Yuemin was forcing a smile, so after Li Kuiyong and the others left, he said to Zhong Yuemin:

"Brother Yuemin, I didn't expect that calling the police to arrest the little bastard would make them misunderstand that it was you who did it."

What else could Zhong Yuemin say? Could he say that he cared a lot and hoped that Zhao Shucheng could clarify the misunderstanding for him?

"It's okay, you did a good job, and you did the right thing. This is a good thing to get rid of harm for the people, so we should support it. But why did you think of calling the police to solve it?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "If there is a problem, go to the police. Isn't that the right thing to do?"

Hearing Zhao Shucheng's words, Zhong Yuemin and others were stunned. After all, this sentence would not be officially proposed until 1991, and even promoted nationwide.

When people encounter problems, most of them try to solve them by themselves. If they have no other options, they will first seek solutions on the street. If they really can't solve the problem, they will call the police. This has also led to fighting at the slightest disagreement, and it has even become a means for the gangsters to make a living.

Zhao Shucheng also realized belatedly that he seemed to take things for granted. The rule of law is not yet sound, and people have not developed the habit of relying on the law to solve their problems.

Zhong Yuemin came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Shucheng, and said, "You are right, but there are some things that cannot be reported to the police. Forget it this time. If you encounter problems in the future, discuss it with us first, so as not to catch us off guard."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Yuemin."

However, when others saw the banner in Zhao Shucheng's hand, they became a little jealous. After all, they had never received such an honor since they were young.

Li Kuiyong did not really leave, but hid not far away, and naturally overheard the conversation between Zhong Yuemin and Zhao Shucheng. When he knew that the little bastard was actually sent in by Zhao Shucheng, he was a little bit amused.

Although he really wanted to help the little bastard get an explanation, he couldn't really bully a child of ten years old. Wouldn't that make him the person he looked down upon the most?

Although Zhong Yuemin seemed ready to put the blame for the little bastard's arrest on himself, since he knew about it, he naturally couldn't pretend not to know and ask Zhong Yuemin for an explanation.

Zhao Shucheng noticed that Li Kuiyong had left, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhao Shucheng was not afraid of him, he was still a child, and his strength would not be very great after training. If he really fought with Li Kuiyong, he would still be at a disadvantage.

……

The next year, Zhong Yuemin and others began to work hard for their own future.

For young people like them who have graduated and are unemployed, the few factories in the city cannot accommodate so many young people, so they have only two options: either go to the countryside to work, or join the army.

Of course, being able to join the army is the best thing, but because the number of places is limited, most of those who can join the army are of good family background and good connections. In contrast, those who don't have connections and are not of good family background can only go to the countryside.

Zhong Yuemin and others went to the conscription office for physical examinations many times, but unfortunately, because their parents were under quarantine, they were unable to join the army.

Zhong Yuemin and his people were also unwilling to go to the countryside, so they tried to make things difficult for them in the hope of preventing them from going to the countryside.

Zhong Yuemin took the lead and asked the recruiters: "Comrade, we want to join the production team. What conditions do we need?"

"There are no requirements. As long as you are a fresh graduate, you can join the team."

Yuan Jun said: "Comrade, if you want to go to the countryside in northern Shaanxi to work as a sent-down youth, such an honorable thing, doesn't it also require approval?"

Zheng Tong said: "Yes, yes, yes. We all come from bad backgrounds. If the organization doesn't approve, we will definitely not have any ideological burden."

Zhong Yuemin said: "Yes, we promise that we will have no ideological burden and make a living in the city."

The staff could see what Zhong Yuemin wanted to do. After all, they had been doing this job for a long time and were used to seeing people who didn't want to go making all kinds of excuses.

"Students, I don't know where you come from. If you really come from a bad background as you say, then you should go out into the world to train yourself and learn more of their good qualities."

Even if Zhong Yuemin and the others were reluctant, it was not something they could decide on their own. After all, it was impossible to go against the state apparatus, so they had no choice but to go, and it was also impossible to escape.

Zhao Shucheng didn't have to go originally, after all, his brother Ning Yong didn't get stabbed because Zhao Shucheng had dealt with the little bastard early. According to relevant policies and regulations, Ning Wei, as a graduate and the eldest son in the family, is the most suitable candidate.

However, Zhao Shucheng himself wanted to go. After all, although he could earn 15 yuan and 20 kilograms of food coupons every month in the city, Zhao Shucheng was so young that he could not attend school normally. He could only muddle through every day and had no way to improve his life.

Moreover, even if he could really go to school, Zhao Shucheng's knowledge reserves were more than enough to become an academician in this era. Now going back to school to learn junior high school knowledge is simply mental abuse.

On the contrary, if you go to the countryside, even if the conditions are very difficult, Zhao Shucheng can live a better life with his experience from so many worlds.

If Zhao Shucheng really goes to the countryside, he can also use his intelligence and talents to drive local development and make a difference.

So Zhao Shucheng secretly came to the registration point and registered himself directly.

When the staff saw that Zhao Shucheng was so small and not very old, they initially advised him to study for a few more years and then go out into the world to train.

But Zhao Shucheng was determined to go now, and believed that he could achieve something now.

You have to know that since the beginning of the rural relocation movement, the oldest person was in his twenties and the youngest was only fourteen years old. A twelve-year-old like Zhao Shucheng was unprecedented. So after they knew that Zhao Shucheng's parents were in quarantine and his brother was also going to the rural relocation movement, they hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng also told this news to his brother and parents. Although his parents didn't know why Zhao Shucheng did this, they also knew that it was not a good thing for Zhao Shucheng to stay in the city. It would be better for him to go to the countryside to train, so they agreed readily.

When Zhou Xiaobai knew that Zhong Yuemin was going to join the team, he was reluctant to part with him, so he took Zhong Yuemin home, hoping to establish his relationship with him so that Zhong Yuemin could use his father's connections to join the army.

However, Zhong Yuemin had a strong sense of self-esteem and was unwilling to rely on such a relationship to join the army, so he did not acknowledge his romantic relationship with Zhou Xiaobai.

Yuan Jun, on the other hand, could join the army because his father was released without any problems. Zhong Yuemin and his friends came to Yuan Jun's house after hearing the news, and naturally they were envious when they knew that Yuan Jun could join the army.

Zheng Tong asked curiously, "But haven't you missed the time for new recruits to join the army? How can you still join the army?" Yuan Jun smiled proudly and said, "Originally it was not possible, but the unit recruiting this time was my father's old unit. From the commander to the division commander, they were all old acquaintances of my father. My father directly called the chief of staff and got it done."

This undoubtedly made Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong even more envious. If their parents were reinstated, they would probably also receive such treatment.

Yuan Jun actually felt a little apologetic about this, and said, "Brothers, it's not that I don't want to inform you, I'm just afraid that you will be upset. Originally, I signed up to go to northern Shaanxi with you to join the production team. No matter how hard life is, we brothers can take care of each other together, but I suddenly changed my mind, which is a bit unfair."

"Don't say that. Who wouldn't join the army? If it were me, I would go too. I'll just be happy for you, buddies."

Yuan Jun, Zhang Haiyang, Zhou Xiaobai, Luo Yun and others were in the same batch of soldiers and joined the same group army. When they joined the army, Zhong Yuemin and others came to see them off. Although they didn't say anything, they were so envious that their eyes were red when they saw others wearing new uniforms, wearing big red flowers, and being sent away with gongs and drums.

After Zhong Yuemin went to visit his father who was still in quarantine, he mentioned that Yuan Jun's father had been reinstated and curiously asked his father when the problem would be sorted out.

Unfortunately, the problem of Yuan Jun's father is very simple. He has never left the army since he joined. On the contrary, the problem of Zhong Yuemin's father is more complicated. When the army was disbanded, he was one of the few who successfully broke through. He spent half a year recuperating at the home of a fellow villager. The fellow villager is now unknown whether he is alive or dead, and there is no one to testify for him.

Zhong Yuemin knew that his father would not be able to come out in a short time, so he had to go to the countryside with Zheng Tong and Zhao Shucheng. From then on, this group of good brothers split up and left the capital.

Zhong Yuemin, Zheng Tong, Zhao Shucheng and others boarded the train to northern Shaanxi. They looked at Zhao Shucheng's package curiously and asked:

"Xiao Ningwei, are you moving? There are so many things, and I saw that they were quite heavy for you to carry just now."

As he spoke, Zhong Yuemin tentatively took Zhao Shucheng's package, lifted it, and said, "Sure enough, what do you have in it?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Nothing, just some books. Since school can't go on as normal right now, I brought my brother's junior high and high school books with me, and I'll study on my own when I have time. There's also a barefoot doctor's manual. After studying it, I can deal with any headaches or fevers myself."

Zhong Yuemin didn't expect that Zhao Shucheng would have such thoughts. After comparing himself with others, he felt that he and others were simply typical examples of being ignorant and unlearned.

The train station was crowded with people coming to see them off. Many parents hugged their children and cried bitterly. After all, it was the first time for them to face such a separation, and their voices of advice and instructions were heard one after another.

It took three days and three nights to travel from Beijing to northern Shaanxi before the high-speed rail. And that was not all. Once in Xi'an, they had to take a bus to Mizhi, then transfer to another bus or take a donkey cart to get to the village where they were sent to work.

The brigade secretary of the trial wearing store brought several members and drove a donkey cart to the county town to take Zhao Shucheng and his team back to the brigade. In order to show their respect, everyone's coin was decorated with a big red flower, which looked very festive and solemn. Along the way, looking at the Loess Plateau, everyone looked a little depressed.

Zhao Shucheng had a different feeling, after all, she had lived on the Loess Plateau and had deep memories of it. She thought of Tian Runye and the Shuangshui Village she had built.

During the trip, we saw a river with turbid water. Someone asked curiously, "Is this the Yellow River?"

Zhong Yuemin said: "Hey, the Yellow River is at the junction of Shaanxi and Shanxi, far away from here. This should be the Wuding River."

Zhao Shucheng said: "Could it be that the bones beside the Wuding River are pitiful, or the Wuding River is the lover in the spring girl's dream?"

Zhong Yuemin nodded, and Zheng Tong also came to his senses and said, "So this is the Wuding River in the ancient Tang Dynasty poems. I was wondering why it was wrong. After all this fuss, it turns out that this was the place where soldiers were exiled in ancient times. Well, we brothers have been exiled here, and if we make a fuss, we will also become bones by the Wuding River."

Zhao Shucheng thought this place was great and should have a lot of room for development. Although the village they were assigned to was very close to the Maowusu Desert and the farmers' income was not high, this was exactly where Zhao Shucheng could show his talents.

Soon, they arrived at Ishikawa Village.

In order to express his welcome to Zhao Shucheng and his party, the village party secretary specially arranged a short welcome meeting for everyone, hoping that the villagers could help the educated youth.

Zhao Shucheng didn't care what the secretary and the others said, he just looked at the villagers around him, and the children who were running around in open-crotch pants and with runny noses. They were all wearing dark clothes, and almost everyone was covered with various kinds of pudding.

Most of the men, young and old, were pale and thin, and only a few women had rosy faces, which showed that they were malnourished.

Zhao Shucheng knew that if he could not find a way out here as soon as possible, he would face such a dilemma in the future.

After the meeting, the branch secretary began to arrange accommodation for everyone. Since there were ten people, seven men and three women, two caves were allocated, one for each man and woman.

This kind of earthen cave is actually a house that the villagers squeezed out. It is quite large inside, with a kang, a stove, and even pots and pans are ready.

After finding a place to stay, everyone became excited and looked around the cave curiously, as if they wanted to see through the cave to see the scenes of their predecessors' struggles.

Zhong Yuemin waited until everyone was almost excited, then he called everyone into a cave for a meeting.

"Classmates, we are all cooking from the same pot. We are not familiar with each other yet, and we did not graduate from the same school. Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Zhong Yuemin, and this is Zheng Tong, from Yuying School. Let me see, there are seven men and three women. Isn't that too many wolves and too little meat? Let's start with the three female colleagues."

Li Ping stood up and said, "My name is Li Ping, and I'm from Cuiwei Road Middle School."

"My name is Wang Hong, and I'm from Renmin University High School."

"My name is Jiang Biyun, and I'm from the High School Affiliated to the Normal College."

Although the girls were a little reserved, they were all from Beijing after all, so they introduced themselves happily.

When Zhao Shucheng heard Jiang Biyun's name, he suddenly turned around and looked at Zheng Tong next to him. In his memory, this woman seemed to be together with Zheng Tong later.

After the girls introduced themselves, the boys followed, including Zhang Guangzhi, Cao Yang, Zhao Dayong and so on.
