A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 371 A new beginning

After returning to Yanjing, Lu Cheng and Li Kuiyong paid special attention to the academic performance of Kuiwei, Kuiyuan and other siblings.

Since the second son, Li Kuiwei, inherited his father's tricycle, he has been busy making money every day and has somewhat neglected his studies. In addition, he is not very smart and has limited self-study ability, so he has now completely fallen behind in his studies.

The third child, Li Kuiyuan, has been working in the coking plant for more than a year and has now become a regular employee. He is also studying hard and his grades have not fallen behind.

The remaining three children are also studying hard, but their academic performance varies.

After checking on his younger brothers and sisters' studies, without Lu Cheng saying anything more, Li Kuiyong went to have a good talk with his younger brother Li Kuiwei, urging Li Kuiwei to pick up his books and study again.

Although these children of the Li family are not talented academic top students, they are all relatively down-to-earth and serious in their work and life.

Now, Lu Cheng has pointed out the direction ahead for them, and how they go the rest of the way still depends on them.

Just after the Spring Festival, Lu Cheng and Li Kuiyong returned to northern Shaanxi. They first went back to the village with gifts, visited the villagers, and expressed their condolences to some families in need. Then they paid attention to the two educated youth who stayed in Baidian Village.

It is worth mentioning that Li Kuiyong and Xu Xiulan, the female educated youth who stayed in the village to work as a village teacher, finally expressed their feelings to each other and confirmed their relationship.

In the original drama, Li Kuiyong did not get together with his beloved girl because of his family situation, which became a regret in his life.

Today, the Li family's situation has improved greatly. Li Kuiyong himself has become a formal worker. He has enough confidence and naturally dares to accept the love of the woman he likes.

For men, the money in their pockets is their confidence, and the thickness of their wallets determines the degree of their self-confidence.

On the other side of Ishikawa Village, Zhong Yuemin was also about to leave.

Ma Guiping used a backdoor to get Zhong Yuemin into the army for the son of his old leader.

Before leaving, Lu Cheng, Zhong Yuemin, Li Kuiyong, Zheng Dong and others prepared some wine and food and gathered together to see Zhong Yuemin off.

"Zhong Yuemin, I knew you wouldn't be able to stay here for long. You are a restless person and you can't stand a monotonous life. As long as you have the opportunity, you will always try a new life. Being a playboy in the old city, a beggar in northern Shaanxi, and serving in the army are just a journey in your life."

"Brother Cheng, what you said really hits the nail on the head. I didn't expect that you know me so well even though we haven't been together for a long time. Just for this, I have to toast you. Come on, let's have one."

"Walk."

Zheng Tong also raised his glass and said, "Yuemin, you have finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering. I will be the only one left here. When you become rich in the future, don't forget me, an ordinary person."

Lu Cheng patted Zheng Tong on the shoulder and said, "Why are you sad? I don't think you will be willing to be an ordinary person in the future."

"So what if I am unwilling? This is the fate of man, and I cannot change it."

"Go read the books, they will give you the answers you want."

In the original play, after Zhong Yuemin and others left, Zheng Tong also went through a period of confusion, and then he and Jiang Biyun got together, and then he devoted himself to studying. The two supported each other, worked hard together, and finally both entered university and returned to Yanjing. Jiang Biyun graduated from university and became a middle school teacher, while Zheng Tong was admitted to graduate school.

It can be said that these two people truly changed their destiny through reading.

For those struggling at the bottom of society, studying may be one of the few ways to change their destiny in this era.

Of course, the situation was different in later generations.

After seeing Zhong Yuemin off, Lu Cheng returned to the mine and continued his work.

Since working as a doctor in the coal mine, Lu Cheng has not only performed his job diligently and responsibly, but also actively participated in the construction safety management of the coal mine. He has put forward many practical suggestions for safe construction, and brought out the valuable experience summarized by many people in later generations at the cost of their lives, and provided it for reference in the coal mine, so as to ensure the safety of the lives of construction workers to the greatest extent.

Of course, even with the most complete facilities and advanced mining equipment, coal mining is still a high-risk job. Even in later generations, coal mine collapse accidents often occur, let alone in this era.

All Lu Cheng can do is to reduce the probability of accidents as much as possible, or actively participate in rescue after the accident occurs.

With his serious and responsible work attitude and outstanding performance, Lu Cheng was awarded the title of advanced worker many times and was soon promoted to a doctor, enjoying better treatment.

At the same time, Lu Cheng and Qin Ling's relationship has been officially made public.

At the end of 70, the mine recommended Lu Cheng to study at Yenching Medical University.

It was at this time that Qin Ling's mother wrote to him, asking him to go to Yanjing.

It turned out that not long ago, Qin Ling's mother came to Yanjing with the Shaanxi Song and Dance Troupe. She will stay in Yanjing for a long time to work in the future. She wanted Qin Ling to return to Yanjing as well, so that mother and daughter could be reunited, and on the other hand, Qin Ling could learn dance and music in the song and dance troupe.

So, Lu Cheng and Qin Ling returned to Yanjing together before the Spring Festival in 71.

Li Kuiyong did not return to Beijing this year. Instead, he planned to accompany his lover Xu Xiulan to Xu's house to meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law to discuss their marriage.

After Lu Cheng and Qin Ling returned to Yanjing, they went to see Qin Ling's mother first.

Qin Ling's mother is a very elegant woman. Although she is over 40 years old, she looks like a woman in her 30s.

After a brief chat, Lu Cheng understood why Qin Ling had developed her current personality. It was entirely due to the influence of her mother.

Qin Ling's mother was born in the Republic of China period and grew up during the war years. She was exposed to Western learning at an early age and had relatively open-minded thinking and advocated independence and freedom.

But the environment around her forced her to succumb to tradition, and she eventually got married, had a daughter, and lived a life of taking care of her husband and raising her daughter.

Perhaps because she placed her own ideal of life on her daughter and did not want her daughter to live a dull life like herself, Qin Ling's mother taught her daughter to think independently, read to gain knowledge, broaden her horizons, and enjoy the process of life rather than chasing after a fixed result.

After Qin Ling's mother talked to Lu Cheng, she quickly recognized Lu Cheng: "Perhaps my daughter did not choose the wrong person. You are the most outstanding young man I have ever seen, and you can even say that you are the most outstanding man I have ever seen. Qin Ling's life should not be boring if he follows you."

"Of course, I also like to experience different lives, and I will work hard to live any kind of life I want. I have the confidence and the ability to do so."
