1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 297: Consolation Performance, Cheng Xuemin was forced to do it (Request for full order)
that's it!
Under the 'coercion' of Xie Jin and others, Cheng Xuemin moved into the Friendship Hotel in the inner city.

Originally, I wanted Cheng Xuemin to come over and experience the fashionable atmosphere here first, which is different from the outside.

But Cheng Xuemin is different!

Now that I'm in the inner city, I must take some time to visit the General Political Department to see what the next arrangements are?
If the manuscript needs to be revised, Cheng Xuemin will also have to go and listen to the leaders' suggestions for the revision.

It can't be delayed too long. I had been planning to take some time to go there today.

"There's a result regarding the manuscript I sent to the higher-ups!"

"Thank you, Director. I'll try to go there and come back as soon as possible!"

Cheng Xuemin greeted Director Xie, and then called out to his elder brother-in-law, "Brother, Director Xie said he might have to stay here tonight. When you go back, tell Jiayou and the others something!"

Brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao didn't need to stay in a hotel at night. Cheng Xuemin was worried that when he came back from the General Political Department, his brother-in-law would have gone home from get off work, so he told him before leaving.

"Okay, okay! The matter over at the General Political Department is a big deal, Xuemin, you should hurry over there!" Director Xie was helpless when he heard this, knowing that Cheng Xuemin was a very busy man. He was borrowed by Cheng Xuemin to go to the Northwest for more than a month, and he came back to report and make up for the scene as soon as possible. He was already very generous.

There must be too many things waiting for Cheng Xuemin somewhere else right now, and there happened to be nothing for Cheng Xuemin to do here, so Old Xie quickly asked him to go over there so as not to delay the important business of the General Political Department.

"I know, I know. Just go slowly on your way. There's no rush!"

Brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao also nodded and said something to Cheng Xuemin.

"Xuemin, are you going to the General Political Department?" When they were at the door, they happened to meet Zhu Lin. Seeing that Cheng Xuemin had just arrived at the hotel and was about to leave, she asked hesitantly.

"Ah! It's still about that manuscript. The leader of the General Political Department Art Troupe asked me to go there as soon as I get back!"

Cheng Xuemin didn't say much to you, Zhu Lin. He just nodded and went out, leaving the Friendship Hotel.

"Ugh……"

Zhu Lin wanted to greet him, but unfortunately Cheng Xuemin had already gone downstairs.

"Sister Zhu Lin, you probably want to hear Xuemin say to you, let's go together, right?"

Liu Tianxian's mother next to her had a strange look on her face. Women can see through other women's minds best, and she saw through Sister Zhu Lin's mind at a glance.

"No way! Xiaoli, please stop talking nonsense!"

Zhu Lin's thoughts were exposed by Liu Xiaoli, and his face instantly turned red. He wanted to avoid Liu Xiaoli's gaze, but there was nowhere to hide.

"Sister Zhu Lin, did I say anything nonsense?"

"Isn't your little woman's mentality just now the reflection of Li Xiuzhi's concern and urgency for Xu Lingjun?"

Liu Tianxian's mother then said to Zhu Lin, "Sister Zhu Lin, it's nothing. We have reform and opening up now, and we are not holding on to feudal old ideas!"

"Sister Zhu Lin, if you like me, you can boldly pursue me!"

Liu Xiaoli's personality is bolder and more open than Zhu Lin's. After seeing through Zhu Lin's thoughts, she boldly encouraged and instigated him.

"Xiao Li, what are you talking about?"

"Xuemin...Xuemin...he has a lover, and the child is already a hundred days old, don't talk nonsense!"

Instigated by Liu Xiaoli so harshly, Zhu Lin's face, which had originally turned extremely red, turned pale in an instant. He quickly told Liu Xiaoli to stop talking and stop talking nonsense!
Now they are not filming a movie. She is a good match for Xu Lingjun’s Li Xiuzhi, but not Cheng Xuemin’s Feng Jiayou.

Liu Xiaoli, please stop talking nonsense, don't kill her.

"Ah?! Xuemin...he's already married?" Liu Xiaoli's face instantly changed after hearing this, and she quickly said, "Sister Zhu Lin, I...I...I didn't know Xuemin was already married and had a lover and children!"

"But I... when I was in Jiangcheng, I heard that Xuemin was a student of Yanjing University. How come he got married? Who is his lover? Why haven't I heard about it?"

What Liu Xiaoli said didn't sound false. She had indeed been in Jiangcheng all the time and was seconded from the Jiangcheng Art Troupe to shoot the movie "The Shepherd". She didn't know the crew members very well.

She only knew that the male and female protagonists of the movie "The Horse Herder" were all newcomers!

There is no need to say anything about the heroine Zhu Lin. I heard that she had just been recruited into Yanying Studio, and her interview was for the role of Li Xiuzhi, the heroine of "The Shepherd".

The actor who plays the male protagonist Xu Lingjun is Lao Xu, the original author of the novel "The Shepherd", and he is also the pioneer of reform and opening up appointed by the higher-ups.

Compared to the heroine Zhu Lin who is a pure newcomer, the hero Xu Lingjun, Lao Xu, is a pioneer in reform and opening up. He is well-known and admired by millions, and is popular all over the country.

Liu Xiaoli is a loyal reader of Lao Xu, the author of "The Shepherd". She has written many letters to him in the past, so she must have inquired about Lao Xu's identity and background.

The result of inquiring is that people around me are saying that this Wrangler Lao Xu and the reformed Pioneer factory manager Qiao are the same person, and are students at Yenching University.

The news came from Yenching. It was a fellow student from Yenching University who passed it back to Jiangcheng!
and so!
In the opinion of Liu Xiaoli and others, since he was a college student who had just been admitted to Yenching University, he must not be married.

All the young people around Liu Xiaoli think so!
There were even some young girls who were in love and had made up their minds to marry Xu Lingjun. Liu Xiaoli had the same thought in her mind.

I also wrote many letters to the horse shepherd Lao Xu, hoping to become pen pals, but unfortunately, all my letters fell into the sea and I never received a reply.

What Liu Xiaoli didn’t expect later was!
She did not receive a reply from the shepherd Lao Xu himself, but she received a letter of introduction to be transferred to Beijing to participate in the filming of the movie "The Shepherd", which did not surprise Liu Xiaoli.

So he went to Beijing without stopping and filmed the movie "The Shepherd" written by the shepherd Lao Xu.

Although he was only arranged to play a supporting role, he didn't have many scenes.

But after arriving in Yanjing, she learned that the hero Xu Lingjun was played by the original author of The Shepherd himself, and she was looking forward to meeting The Shepherd Old Xu.

Unfortunately, he was told that the shepherd Lao Xu himself had gone south to give a consolation performance, and his part was scheduled to be the last, and would be re-shot after his return.

Just like that, wait and wait!

Even after she finished filming her scenes in Yanjing and was about to leave Yanjing to return to Jiangcheng, she still hadn't seen the horse herder Lao Xu.

It was not until more than three months later that she received a phone call informing her to go to Beijing again, and only then did she finally meet the horse shepherd Lao Xu himself, Cheng Xuemin.

I was immediately attracted by Lao Xu's elegant demeanor.

But I also keenly discovered that the actress Zhu Linjie who played the heroine Li Xiuzhi seemed to have feelings for the hero Xu Lingjun that went beyond the movie itself.

Just now, Liu Xiaoli saw Sister Zhu Lin's affectionate and disappointed eyes, and looked at the back of the horse herder Lao Xu as he left. She felt very jealous and couldn't help but step forward to tease and try to instigate him.

But what Liu Xiaoli didn't expect was that her test turned out to be a bolt from the blue.

The horse herder Lao Xu, he already has a family and a lover, and his child is already a hundred days old?

What's the situation?
Isn't the wrangler Lao Xu a student at Yenching University? They say he is unmarried and about the same age as them.

How come all of a sudden, not only are they married, but their child is already a hundred days old?
Why hasn't anyone mentioned this to her before?
and also!

What kind of woman is Li Xiuzhi who could marry the horse shepherd Lao Xu?
"Xuemin married Jiayou at this time last year, before he came to Yanjing!" Zhu Lin glanced at Liu Xiaoli, and seeing that she really didn't know much, he didn't blame her for not knowing.

"Xuemin got married at this time last year?!" "Jiayou? Which Jiayou? Is he from our crew?" Liu Xiaoli's face became even more surprised when she heard that.

"Not here!" Zhu Lin shook her head and thought to herself, if Feng Jiayou was in their crew, what would happen to the heroine Li Xiuzhi and her, Zhu Lin?

Then he talked to Liu Xiaoli in a tone of not being too envious about the past of Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiayou.

……

Cheng Xuemin didn't know that after he left, two women in the crew were talking about him and his wife Feng Jiayou behind his back.

The bicycle was left at Yanying Studio, and Cheng Xuemin came here in the crew's special car!
When we arrived at the Friendship Hotel, there was no special car to pick us up, and the bicycles were not there, so we had to take the bus.

Fortunately, the Friendship Hotel is not far from the General Political Department and can be reached directly by taking bus No. 2.

But the buses of this era were slow, and even a journey of seven stops still took more than 40 minutes.

By the time Cheng Xuemin arrived at the General Political Department Art Troupe, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

I don’t know whether the director of the art troupe, Mr. Shi, is still in the troupe at that time.

Fortunately, Cheng Xuemin was not a stranger in the General Political Department, and he came in easily after reaching the door.

"The full moon on the 15th, the full moon on the 15th, shines on my hometown and on the border.

On a quiet night, you miss me, and I miss you too..."

Uh!
Just as Cheng Xuemin entered the General Political Department and was heading towards the group leader's office, he heard bursts of loud singing coming from the playground not far away, so he looked over there.

Oh my god, is there a big performance over there on the playground?

What a coincidence that today, I actually ran into the grand performance of the General Political Department Art Troupe? Cheng Xuemin had been here several times before, but never encountered such a grand performance.

Cheng Xuemin glanced over there, but still walked towards the team leader's office.

I came here today to seek advice from the old director on the revision of the manuscript, not to join in the fun of other people's grand performance. The most important thing is to get down to business first.

Of course, it is also clear that the old commander might also be on the playground at this time.

as predicted!

When Cheng Xuemin arrived at the old commander's office building, the guard told him that the old commander was on the big playground.

"Are we going to the south to give a consolation performance again? Are they holding an open-air oath-taking gala performance at the big playground?"

Then Cheng Xuemin asked what was going on in the playground.

I was told that the General Political Department Art Troupe was going to the south again to give a consolation performance. They were holding a swearing-in ceremony over there, followed by a farewell performance.

Cheng Xuemin thought to himself that he came at the wrong time and should have come tomorrow.

But Cheng Xuemin has to spend the whole day tomorrow at the Friendship Hotel to reshoot photos, so he has no time to come. He will have time only after everything is finished tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

But if we go there tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it will be a bit late.

After all, if you calculate the time, Cheng Xuemin has been back for almost a week and he only reported to the General Political Department. He doesn't take the old group leader seriously, right?

Old Ge?

Gong Xi?

Li Shuanggang?
Yan Weiwen?
When Cheng Xuemin got over, the playground was full of soldiers, and he couldn't see a single familiar face.

The old leader he was looking for was sitting on the podium at the front. It would be inappropriate for Cheng Xuemin to just run up to him, right?

You have to find someone familiar to help pass the message on.

There was no other way, so Cheng Xuemin planned to go to the front, find a corner to sit down and wait.

"Hello, Teacher Dong!"

What surprised Cheng Xuemin was that when he moved forward, he glanced at Dong Wenhua who was singing "The Full Moon on the 15th" on the stage. She should have also seen Cheng Xuemin.

He waved to Cheng Xuemin on the stage and said hello.

Cheng Xuemin was also surprised. He waved to her and pointed to the podium behind her. She nodded to him and continued singing.

Cheng Xuemin thought that Dong Wenhua understood what he meant, so he waited for her to finish singing the song and hand over the microphone, and then helped convey the message to the old leader.

Then, Cheng Xuemin also found a seat nearby and sat down to listen to Dong Wenhua singing on the stage.

Don’t say it yet!
A professional singer is a professional singer, and the original singer is the original singer. Dong Wenhua's singing of "The Full Moon on the 15th" is indeed better than Gong Lu's singing on the radio.

Soon, Dong Wenhua finished singing a song "The Full Moon on the 15th", which aroused warm applause from the audience.

Afterwards, Cheng Xuemin also waited for Dong Wenhua to come down so that he could explain his purpose to her in person and ask her to help convey a message to the old leader on the rostrum.

But who knows!

After singing on the stage, Dong Wenhua did not come down immediately, but looked at Cheng Xuemin and smiled.

In an instant, Cheng Xuemin had a bad feeling. Dong Wenhua on the stage was smiling at him. What did it mean?

quickly!

Cheng Xuemin knew what Dong Wenhua was going to do!

She wants to deal with Cheng Xuemin!
Then we heard Dong Wenhua on the stage smiling and saying to the soldiers of the art troupe below: "I'm sure all of you know that our troupe's "Style" and "The Full Moon" were both written and composed by our comrade Cheng Xuemin himself, for our comrades fighting on the front line, right?"

"Many of our comrades-in-arms regretted not having heard Comrade Cheng Xuemin sing The Full Moon in person!"

Dong Wenhua's words instantly surprised the cultural and art soldiers in the audience. They had no idea what Dong Wenhua was going to do.
Could it be that she also invited Cheng Xuemin himself?

"Yes!"

"Comrades, you guessed it right. Today our comrade Cheng Xuemin just happened to come to our site!"

"He just gestured to me and asked me to sing a song for the comrades. Please applaud and welcome him!"

In an instant, warm applause broke out both on the stage and in the audience.

They also followed Dong Wenhua's line of sight on the stage, trying to catch and look for Cheng Xuemin's figure, which immediately left Cheng Xuemin dumbfounded and with nowhere to hide.
