The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Zhong Yuemin did not expect Jiang Biyun's reaction to be so big. He sat up and looked at her, saying:

"You're not sick, are you? Why do you look so bitter and resentful?"

Jiang Biyun said, "I just can't stand you. I have a prejudice against you, the children of the big courtyard. In the past, you raided homes and beat people, and you looked cynical, but what about now? Disaster has befallen your own family, how are you doing? You call yourselves the stubborn old soldiers every day to show that you are different, right?"

Zhong Yuemin seemed to be exposed, and immediately said angrily: "Jiang Biyun, you can have your own opinions, but why did you send me food? Are you laughing at me?"

Jiang Biyun said: "No, you are wrong!"

She said in a serious tone: "I suddenly realized that the ten of us are a whole. Since we have been assigned to this remote place, who can we rely on? If we continue to scheme against each other, we will be looked down upon."

When the others heard Jiang Biyun's words, they fell silent. Zhong Yuemin silently picked up the steamed bread, handed it to Zheng Tong, and started eating it bite by bite.

The next day.

Zhong Yuemin took Zhao Shucheng and others to the village to borrow old clothes, and took the elderly and children in the village and went straight to the county town to beg for food.

It was the first time for these people to do such a thing, and they did not feel ashamed. Instead, they found it quite interesting. So they came to the city in groups, joking and laughing while begging for food.

Of course, Zhong Yuemin also had his own ideas. He did not want the educated youth to go alone, but instead asked each of them to bring their elderly or children with them. This way, they could gain sympathy from others and beg for food.

Jiang Biyun met an old lady who was about to go out. She held out her bowl to her but didn't know how to start the conversation.

When the old lady saw Jiang Biyun's clean face and worn-out clothes, she immediately understood and asked, "Girl, are you an educated youth?"

The old lady who was begging with Jiang Biyun said, "Please have mercy on me, the whole village is out of food."

When the old lady heard this, she said, "What a sin." Then she opened the door, went in, took out a steamed bun and handed it to Jiang Biyun.

Jiang Biyun looked at the steamed buns in the bowl, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you! Thank you, Auntie."

After the old lady left, he broke the bun in half, handed it to her, and said, "Auntie, here you go!"

Jiang Biyun couldn't help crying while eating the steamed buns. When the aunt saw this, she came up to her and said:

"Girl, why are you crying when you have steamed buns to eat? That's because you're not used to it. You'll be fine once you get used to it. When I first married to Ishikawa Village, I was also not used to begging. That year I had just given birth to a baby and the family ran out of food. My husband beat me and told me to go out begging. I refused to go out no matter what. I had no choice but to go. This is the fate of us farmers. For the past fifty years, we have been begging every year. Girl, I had two years when the harvest was good and I didn't have to beg."

Jiang Biyun asked, "What, Aunt Zhang, in the past fifty years, there have only been two years in our village where people have not had to beg for food?"

"That's right. It's a good year with good rain. Boy, there aren't many good years like this."

Zhao Shucheng also followed a villager from Ishikawa Village to beg for food. Thanks to his young age and sweet mouth, he finally got some food and didn't have to return to the village hungry.

But the county residents were not well-off, so it was impossible for them to return with a full load of food. Zhao Shucheng also knew that begging was not a long-term solution. It was okay for one or two days, but they couldn't rely on begging for the remaining three months, so they had to find a way to solve the short-term food problem.

In fact, it was not only the educated youth from Shichuan Village who came out to beg for food, but also the educated youth from Baidian Village who came out to beg for food, going door to door. However, they were not as cunning as Zhong Yuemin, and they all came to beg in their own clean clothes.

Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong initially wanted to go to a restaurant to order some food, but were kicked out. They could only stand on the street and shout to passers-by, hoping that those who had money could help them with some money, and those who had food could give them two steamed buns. Then they began to sing.

Just when they got the steamed bread, they heard a woman shouting in the distance.

"Help! Help! A gangster is beating people up."

After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but run over out of curiosity, and saw three or four people surrounding a man and beating and kicking him, and a woman was screaming for help at the top of her lungs.

Unfortunately, the people around did not offer any help, and some even tried to avoid him. It seemed that they knew the people who beat him up very well and acted like they could not afford to offend them.

Zhao Shucheng also recognized that the person shouting for help was actually Qin Ling, played by a female star. It seemed that it was here that Qin Ling and Zhong Yuemin met.

Seeing that the other party was still punching and kicking, Zhao Shucheng didn't bother to wait for Zhong Yuemin and the others to arrive. He rushed forward and tried to separate the people who were beating.

Because he was small now, it was still difficult for him to fight three people head-on, so he used his special skill again and stepped on the toes, which made the thugs who were beating people stop holding their feet.

"In broad daylight, in the open air, you are beating people here. Is there still the rule of law? Is there still the rule of law?"

The little rascal looked at Zhao Shucheng and couldn't help laughing. He said, "Where did you come from, you little bastard? Mind your own business and go home to drink milk."

Zhao Shucheng glanced at them, then looked at the educated youth supported by Qin Ling, and said, "You think you are justified in beating people, but do you know that what you are doing is against the law?"

"Breaking the law? We really don't know. What can you do?"

At this time, Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong also rushed over following the sound. Naturally, they saw Zhao Shucheng who was confronting three gangsters. They hurriedly approached Zhao Shucheng and asked:

"Xiao Ningwei, what's wrong?"

"Brother Yuemin, these people are hooligans and they beat up the educated youth."

After hearing this, Zhong Yuemin naturally stood on Zhao Shucheng's side and said, "Get lost!"

When the hooligans saw Zhong Yuemin and his men coming and they were outnumbered, they threatened them directly, saying, "Just wait if you can!"

"We are waiting for you here, come over if you have the guts."

Liu Kegang, who had just been beaten, saw people coming to help and also saw the hooligans who had just beaten him. Naturally, he would not swallow his anger and rushed up to take revenge. Zhong Yuemin naturally could not watch him fight three people alone, so he could only rush up.

When those hooligans saw that Zhong Yuemin and his men were really fighting, they quickly ran away.

However, Zhong Yuemin knew that they were outsiders and must be looking for help, so he quickly called other educated youth and fellow villagers who were begging for food nearby.

Each of these people held a dog-beating stick and stood on the street, vigilantly looking at the thugs who were running towards them aggressively from the opposite side.

"Brothers, let's beat them up." Zhao Shucheng couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the chaotic battle scene. This matter was getting bigger and bigger. But now he couldn't run away, so he could only say to Qin Ling who didn't dare to move forward:

"What are you still standing there for? Go call someone!"

Qin Ling came to his senses after hearing this, looked at the group of people who were still fighting, and hurriedly went with Liu Kegang to find the people at their educated youth site.

Zhao Shucheng originally wanted to use the same trick again, but when he saw everyone fighting with sticks, he knew that it was unrealistic for him to fight in circles. He could only pick up his dog-beating stick and keep launching sneak attacks, making it impossible for that group of thugs to gain the upper hand over Zhong Yuemin and his men.

Soon, Li Kuiyong also came with their educated youth points. When they saw Zhong Yuemin fighting, they hurried forward to support him.

Zhong Yuemin naturally also saw Li Kuiyong, nodded, and then began to fight side by side.

Such a large-scale fight naturally could not continue to develop, and soon Director Ma from the County Youth League Office brought the police to calm the dispute.

Director Ma brought Zhong Yuemin, Zhao Shucheng and others to the Youth League Office and criticized them for fighting in the streets.

Zheng Tong said: "When a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain his reason clearly."

Director Ma said, "I heard that you are still stirring up trouble and making trouble at the market? Are you here to beg for food from the poor and lower-middle peasants?"

"That means you are so hungry that you can't do anything about it," said Li Kuiyong.

"Nonsense!"

Zhong Yuemin said, "Director Ma, calm down. Don't bother with us. In terms of age, you are the elder, and we should call you Uncle Ma. Brothers, let's all call you Uncle Ma together."

"Thank you, Uncle Ma."

"Uncle Ma!"

Director Ma looked at the educated youth around him and said, "If I had nephews like you who cause trouble, I would have lived a few years less."

Zhong Yuemin said: "In terms of status, you are an official and we are common people. Why are you an official? It's because you are more conscious than us. If we were not conscious, we would be common people. If we were as conscious as you, we would have been officials long ago. Besides, we are not good people, otherwise why would we come here?"

Director Ma said, "I said you are not good people? Besides, only bad people can come to this place in northern Shaanxi? Come on, explain it to me clearly."

Zhong Yuemin said, "Uncle, you misunderstood me. I meant that people like us either have bad backgrounds or poor personal performance. Those with good backgrounds and good performance have all joined the army, and the remaining ones came here. If northern Shaanxi is so good as you said, then those with good backgrounds and good performance should be allowed to come here, and we should join the army. You see, we have taken all the good things, and we feel bad about it. Isn't it, brothers?"

Hearing others echoing Zhong Yuemin's words, Director Ma said, "I can see that. When I entered the room just now, I saw your eyes rolling around and you had a lot of tricks up your sleeve. Is he the boss of your place?"

Zheng Tong said: "Yes, that's right, it's him."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Zheng Tong!" said Zhong Yuemin.

Zheng Tong stood up and said, "I figured it out. Whenever there's something fishy going on, you'll definitely call Zheng Tong. Director Ma, I'm exposing him. I want to strike back. This guy's name is Zhong Yuemin. You must not let him go. He was not a good guy when he was in Beijing."

When Director Ma heard what Zheng Tong said, he looked at Zhong Yuemin deeply and asked him to go out. After questioning, he found out that he was the son of his former commander. He did not intend to hold Zhong Yuemin responsible, but promised to help Zhong Yuemin solve the food problem for the educated youth.

Zhong Yuemin didn't expect to meet his father's old subordinates here and have them help him solve the food problem. He was very happy.

Li Kuiyong and others were still worried about whether something would happen to Zhong Yuemin when he was called out alone. Only Zhao Shucheng knew that Zhong Yuemin's golden finger appeared, and not only was nothing wrong, but he even had a good meal.

After Zhong Yuemin came out, Li Kuiyong and others hurried up to check if he was okay.

Zhong Yuemin said: "I'm fine, why haven't you left yet?"

"I'm waiting for you. I'm really worried. I have to see you anyway."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll go to your brigade someday to hang out. How do you get to your brigade?"

Liu Kegang said: "Our two teams are more than 30 miles apart, but only a few dozen meters closer. The back cliff of your team is separated from ours by a deep ditch, which is only a few dozen meters at the narrowest point. People from the two teams can chat across the ditch. But if you want to get there, you can only take a detour of more than 30 miles."

Li Kuiyong said: "This is nothing new. This kind of ditch is very common in northern Shaanxi. There are deep ditches everywhere, and some villages are split in half by deep ditches."

"That's right, it's just like what's sung in the Xintianyou song. I can't hold the conversation, so just wave your hand. I'll go to the back hill to call you to chat from now on."

When they returned to the village, Zhong Yuemin found Zhao Shucheng and said, "Ning Wei, you have seen the situation here. It is indeed not very good. You are not in junior high school yet. You should go back to school."

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "I am not afraid of the harsh conditions here. Besides, I came here on my own initiative. It is impossible for me to be a deserter."

"The capital is resuming classes and making a revolution. You have to go back to school. Young people should have some knowledge."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Brother Yuemin, you don't need to persuade me. I brought books with me when I came here, so I can learn the knowledge that I should have learned in school by myself here. Besides, since I'm here, I won't go back unless I make some achievements."

Seeing that Zhao Shucheng was determined to stay here, Zhong Yuemin didn't know what to say for the moment and could only agree to let Zhao Shucheng stay here for a while.

In fact, the reason why Zhong Yuemin wanted Zhao Shucheng to go back so much was more because Zhao Shucheng's parents had been released and even reinstated.

The first thing they did after they came out was to write a letter to Zhao Shucheng, asking him to return to the capital to continue his studies. They also hoped that he could spend more time with his son to make up for the loss during the quarantine period.

Unfortunately, Zhao Shucheng didn't think so at all. He didn't want to return to the capital and continue to be a child in the eyes of others. He could only go to school and learn the knowledge that he had already mastered. It would take a long time before he could live independently.

But it’s different here. You can become one of the educated youth, live according to your own ideas, and even achieve something here.

When Ning Wei's parents saw Zhao Shucheng's reply, they knew that their son was determined to stay in the countryside. They had no choice but to find Zhong Yuemin, hoping that he could help persuade Zhao Shucheng to go back.

Unfortunately, they didn't understand Zhao Shucheng's thoughts. He really didn't want to go back, and he also hoped that with his own efforts, the people here could live a good life as soon as possible. The dedication and sacrifice they made back then were worth Zhao Shucheng's spending a few years on. (End of this chapter)
