The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Zheng Tong learned that Zhao Shucheng had returned to the capital. After discussing it with Jiang Biyun, he called Zhou Xiaobai and made an appointment to meet for dinner.

After Zhao Shucheng received Zheng Tong's call, he agreed without hesitation and went to the banquet in the evening.

When they arrived at the restaurant and saw Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun, Zhao Shucheng said with a smile:

"It seems like you guys are really together. Are you married?"

"It's married, but because you and Yuemin are in the army, I didn't inform you."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and asked, "Where do you live now? I'll visit you some other day."

Zheng Tong shook his head in frustration and said, "I'm still staying in the school dormitory, and sometimes I stay at my parents' house for a while."

"Why, you don't want to live alone?"

"Of course I want to, but I have nowhere to live. I just graduated and want to concentrate on my studies instead of pursuing a career in politics. But the school's houses are all allocated to the old professors, so there are no houses for the time being."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Jiang Biyun and said, "What about Sister Jiang? Isn't she a teacher in a middle school? She won't get a room too, right?"

Jiang Biyun said: "It's hard to say. Our school doesn't have any houses, and many middle-aged teachers live with their parents. There's no chance for the two of us."

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It seems that it is unlikely to divide the house equally in a short time."

"Who says it's not true? Now that the educated youth have returned to the city, most of them live with their parents. It's very difficult to have a house of their own. Let alone us, isn't it the same for you?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes, I live at home too. I was thinking if you have your own house, I would borrow one from you."

"Why, are you going to move out of your home?" Zheng Tong asked curiously.

"No, it's a demobilized comrade of mine who came to Beijing to seek refuge with me. I thought it would be inconvenient for him to live at home, so I wanted to see if I could find him a place to stay."

Zheng Tong looked at Zhao Shucheng with a half-smile and said, "She's a girl, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just feel that time flies by so fast. You were still a kid back then, but now you've already started looking for a partner. But I think it's good for you to live at home. The house that your old man got is big enough for your family to live in."

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "You can't say that. We are only in a revolutionary friendship relationship now, and we are not yet at the point where we can live together."

As they were talking, Zhou Xiaobai also came to the restaurant, saw Zhao Shucheng and the others, and greeted them with a smile.

"Zheng Tong, Biyun, you have arrived a long time ago. This is Ning Wei, right?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Hello, Sister Xiaobai, we have met before, but this is the first time we have met formally."

Zhou Xiaobai nodded and said, "Yeah, I still remember seeing you fighting with those little bastards. You were small but very agile. I heard that you also joined the army and were in the same company as Zhong Yuemin and the others?"

"Yes, they are still in the army. Maybe they will become battalion commanders or regiment commanders in the future. But I, a platoon leader, left the army."

Zhou Xiaobai actually wanted to hear Zhao Shucheng talk about Zhong Yuemin, but Zhao Shucheng only mentioned it briefly and then told Zheng Tong and the others about his time as a sent-down youth in northern Shaanxi, and the changes in Shichuan Village in northern Shaanxi after Zhao Shucheng left.

Xi'an, a song and dance troupe.

Qin Ling was also facing unemployment. There was an overseas Chinese who pursued her before, but Qin Ling never agreed. The head of the song and dance troupe, who thought that Ye Chuliang could sponsor her, was very angry. At first, Qin Ling, who was originally a soloist, was asked to pull the curtain, but Qin Ling didn't care at all. So he threatened Qin Ling with the excuse that Qin Ling's entry procedures were incomplete at that time, and told her to either get sponsorship or leave the song and dance troupe.

Qin Ling naturally didn't want to sell herself out for this, so she simply chose to leave the song and dance troupe. But after she really left, she didn't know where she should go. After all, it was no longer popular to join the team, and even many educated youth who joined the team tried their best to return to the city. It was even more impossible for her to leave and go back.

When she was wandering aimlessly on the street, she saw a group of people gathered in front of her. When she walked over, she found that it was Ye Chuliang who had hit someone with his car and was surrounded by others and was not allowed to leave.

This was also the first time that Ye Chuliang faced such a situation. Although he tried his best to explain, he still got into a conflict with others.

Seeing that it was someone he knew, Qin Ling hesitated for a moment and walked over to rescue Ye Chuliang.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, hitting someone is against the law."

"Who are you?"

"Nobody."

"You are nothing, why are you standing up for him?"

Qin Ling said: "Everything should be reasonable, right?"

"Reason? He hit someone, he hit me."

"He said he was going to the hospital."

"Just go to the hospital?"

"Then I'll pay for it."

After hearing what Ye Chuliang said, the elder sister who was hit still insisted, "What about me? You hit me, and that's it?"

Ye Chuliang also understood what the other party wanted, so he took out a wad of money and handed it to the other party, saying: "This money is my apology. I'm sorry."

"Then drive carefully next time. If you hit someone, get out of the car immediately. It's outrageous that you didn't even get out of the car."

Ye Chuliang apologized repeatedly, and finally those people stopped pursuing the matter.

Seeing Qin Ling leaving, Ye Chuliang chased after him, ready to formally pursue Qin Ling.

Qin Ling actually knew what Ye Chuliang was thinking, but he was also very clear that it was unlikely for him to be with him. After all, he had heard before that Ye Chuliang already had a wife, and he would not be the third party.

After parting with Ye Chuliang, he didn't know where to go for a while. His future was uncertain, and his parents couldn't help him. Should he just give up his favorite acting career and work as an ordinary worker in a factory? Or go back to the countryside and become an ordinary farmer? Suddenly, a figure appeared in Qin Ling's mind, and he wanted to find him and ask his opinion.

But he didn't know where the other person was now. After hesitating for a long time, he remembered that he had mentioned his parents' address in the capital before, and he suddenly decided to go to the capital to look for him.

Zhou Xiaobai was a little surprised when he heard that Zhao Shucheng was going to set up a stall, and asked, "No, are you really going to be a self-employed person?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at them with a smile and said, "It seems that you also know about self-employed people. Not bad, I want to try it."

Zheng Tong asked in confusion: "But aren't you wasting your talent? When you were in Mizhi, you were the head of the township clinic. Even if you have neglected your time in recent years, it would be good for you to be an ordinary doctor in the hospital."

"Even if you don't become a doctor, after you've been discharged from the army, whether you want to pursue a career in government or become a police officer, isn't that better than working hard on your own?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's not like I haven't thought about becoming a doctor, but you forgot the most crucial point, which is my academic qualifications. I learned my medical skills by myself and never went to a formal medical school. It's a question whether other people believe in my medical skills. Moreover, without academic qualifications, my future professional title rating will be affected. You college graduates should understand this better."

Zheng Tong and Zhou Xiaobai fell silent. Although they had not been working for long, they had already noticed this kind of academic qualification theory. Jiang Biyun might even have experienced it more personally than others.

After all, Jiang Biyun was just an ordinary person, not like Zhou Xiaobai and Zheng Tong, so he understood the difficulty for an ordinary person to succeed. Many teachers in their school only had junior high school education, so he was a rare college student and even highly valued.

"What about a career in politics?" Zhou Xiaobai asked.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "If you knew why I was demobilized, you wouldn't ask me this question. I am impatient and not suitable for officialdom. Moreover, if I don't control the strength when arresting a suspect, the suspect may not be sent to prison, but I will experience it first."

Zheng Tong couldn't help laughing after hearing this and said, "That's true. I heard from Yuemin that you broke three ribs with this kick. If you really become a policeman, I'd really worry about those criminals."

"In fact, if you weren't so good at fighting, you would be a good candidate for the police. I still remember that back then, you sent the arrogant little bastard to jail. This is something that none of us veterans have ever done."

The next day.

Ye Chuliang came to the song and dance troupe early to find Qin Ling, but was told that Qin Ling was no longer a member of the song and dance troupe.

Ye Chuliang asked: "What happened?"

"It's hard to say, but I have offended my leader anyway."

Ye Chuliang asked: "Do you have her address in Beijing?"

"No, didn't she tell you?"

"I've only known her for a short time, and I thought she would always be in the song and dance troupe, so I didn't ask her where she lived in Beijing."

The other party hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, come with me. I'll take a look at the contact information Qin Ling left for me. You can try to find it."

Zhao Shucheng came to the train station to pick up He Xiaoping, but before the train He Xiaoping was taking arrived, he saw Qin Ling among the crowd leaving the station.

Qin Ling originally wanted to go directly to the compound to find Zhao Shucheng, but he saw Zhao Shucheng in the crowd, and immediately ran over excitedly and asked: "Ning Wei, are you here to pick me up?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "No, actually I didn't know you were coming to the capital today. Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for six or seven years, right?"

"Yeah, you haven't contacted me for six or seven years. Are you avoiding me?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course not, but I thought we had no contact since that day."

Qin Ling looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Who are you waiting for here?"

"Yes, one of my comrades is coming to Beijing, and I came to pick her up. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you are also coming to Beijing today."

Qin Ling hesitated for a moment, and simply stood next to Zhao Shucheng and waited for someone with him.

Qin Ling told Zhao Shucheng about his current situation, and then asked Zhao Shucheng for his opinion on what he should do in the future.

Zhao Shucheng hesitated after hearing this and said, "If you really like singing, I don't suggest you give up. But now most of the song and dance troupes here are not very profitable, so they are streamlining their staff. It is very difficult to join a new song and dance troupe. So the best way is to register with an organization and then go to the south to perform. Although I don't know much about this industry, there are obviously more opportunities in the south, especially in Guangzhou or Pengcheng."

Qin Ling thought for a moment and said, "Does the capital have no chance at all?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "It's not that there aren't any, but the competition you face is also very fierce. After all, the capital is a cultural center, and there are many people who are good at singing and dancing. What's more..."

After hearing Zhao Shucheng's detailed account of the current situation, Qin Ling also knew that it would be extremely difficult for him to return to the stage in Beijing in a short period of time.

But when he heard Zhao Shucheng was going to set up a stall, he asked curiously, "Can I join you?"

Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you sure? I just want to give it a try, and I'm going with my comrades. If you go too, you might earn very little, or even go hungry for a long time."

"I don't mind. I also want to make some breakthroughs. Besides, maybe I can help you attract customers!"

Zhao Shucheng didn't expect that Qin Ling seemed to rely on him this time, but thinking that he would be more relaxed if he had one more helper, he agreed.

More than an hour later, the train He Xiaoping was on arrived at the station. After she walked out, she looked outside the station, feeling a little dazed for a moment. This was her first time in Beijing, she couldn't tell east from west, and she was a little confused about the future.

But soon, she saw Zhao Shucheng waving at her, and immediately walked towards Zhao Shucheng with a smile. But when she got to Zhao Shucheng, she found that Zhao Shucheng was not alone, and there was a pretty girl with him, which made He Xiaoping hesitate.

"Xiao Ping, you are finally here. Let me introduce you. This is Qin Ling, my friend from the time when I was sent to work in the countryside. This is He Xiaoping, my comrade-in-arms who I met in the south and the lead dancer of the art troupe."

Qin Ling didn't expect that Zhao Shucheng would actually welcome a girl, and immediately looked at He Xiaoping curiously. But he quickly put away his vigilance. Although the other party was good-looking, his figure and appearance were not inferior at all, and he was even more mature than her.

He Xiaoping also looked at Qin Ling nervously, and after seeing that Qin Ling did not show much hostility, she felt relieved.

Zhao Shucheng didn't know about their intrigues, and on the way back, he began to worry about how to arrange for them. After all, at the beginning, he thought that He Xiaoping was coming alone, so it was not impossible to let her live at home.

But now Qin Ling is here too, and I can't take both of them home. If I do that, people will say that I have a problem with my lifestyle, or even arrest me. (End of this chapter)
