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

"Xuemin, it has to be you, the big shot!"

"At that time, I asked you to get some movie tickets for us, but I didn't expect that you would invite all the teachers and students in the school to watch the movie together!"

Because Cheng Xuemin and his friends arrived late, the entire playground was packed with people and they couldn't squeeze in. Fortunately, the school had already reserved some family tickets for him, and the seats were quite near the front, so he could just come and see the department head, Old Yang.

Now when we meet, Lao Yang teases me like this.

"Old Yang, I didn't expect that China Film Corporation would send us a copy. This is good. Our school can screen the film and watch it ourselves!" Cheng Xuemin said politely.

"That's because you have a lot of face, Xuemin!" Old Yang flattered him for a while, then said, "We will arrange for you to stay in the family quarters. There are too many students now, and you can't even squeeze in."

"Moreover, the news was broadcasted in advance. Not only the students of our Yanda University, but also the people from Huaqing University next door and the citizens outside all rushed to our school. The principal even asked the security department to seal the gate and not let anyone in!"

"Then it really needs to be closed. We must ensure the safety of the students." Cheng Xuemin also agreed with this. After all, the capacity of the Yanda playground is limited, and there are a steady stream of citizens pouring in from outside. If no measures are taken, accidents are likely to happen.

"It's all coming for you anyway!"

"Ah? Lao Yang, have you heard about it?" After hearing what Lao Yang said, Cheng Xuemin asked with a smile.

"Do you need to hear more about this? Who among your enthusiastic readers doesn't know that the movie Wrangler was adapted by you?"

"And don't you know how popular your original novel of The Wrangler was at the beginning of the year?"

"Now I heard that the movie version has been released, and it will be premiered at Yanda University. Aren't you going to try your best to get into our school?"

Old Yang glanced at Cheng Xuemin unhappily and asked, "Do you want to hear more about this?"

Isn't this known to everyone?

"Ah! Yes, yes, you are right, Lao Yang. It's my fault, my fault. I shouldn't have been in the spotlight!" Cheng Xuemin nodded humbly and admitted his mistake. He thought that Lao Yang said this because he already knew that the male lead of The Wrangler, Xu Lingjun, was played by him personally.

Listening to Lao Yang's tone now, it turns out that he is still kept in the dark.

Okay, okay!

If even the department head, Old Yang, doesn't know about it, then the entire Chinese Department of Yan University, as well as all the teachers and students of Yan University, should not know about it either.

In addition to his wife Feng Jiayou, there is also his sister-in-law Feng Jiamo!
Oh, right!
My second sister-in-law and Zhu Shan from Zhu Lin's family are also students at Yanda University now. They all know about it except for them.

I just didn’t expect that they were so tight-lipped and haven’t revealed anything to the classmates until now. They are a bunch of very calm women!

"Stop it!" Old Yang pushed the boy angrily. What the hell was he talking about?
Other comrades want to get this kind of limelight but can't even do so.

"Oh, by the way, Xuemin, before the screening begins, the school leaders want you to go up and say a few words..."

"No, no, no, no, let the students enjoy the movie. Why should I go up there and talk? I'm just making the students wait anxiously. I must be cursing in my heart."

"Forget it, forget it, let's just start the screening. My mother-in-law and the others must be waiting anxiously!"

"Well...that's fine!" Old Yang nodded. After following Cheng Xuemin and reuniting with his mother-in-law and the others, Old Yang greeted them warmly again.

Coming with Cheng Xuemin were his wife Feng Jiayou, Feng's father and mother, his eldest brother and sister-in-law, his second brother and sister-in-law, as well as Cheng Xuemin's mother and sister and brother-in-law.

My grandpa and grandma don't like to join the crowd and said it won't be too late to buy tickets to watch the movie after it officially starts in the city's cinemas.

I heard that all the major cinemas in Yanjing have scheduled the film for screening on this Sunday.

Today is only Thursday, and there are still three days left.

However, after what Yan University did, Cheng Xuemin guessed that some cinemas might not be able to wait until this Sunday, and might urgently schedule the film for release tomorrow.

As for my sister-in-law Feng Jiamo who loves lively occasions, how could she possibly stay at home obediently, waiting for Cheng Xuemin to come back and have the whole family come over to see him?
She had dinner early and ran straight back to school to be with her classmates.

I have to show off a bit.

"Jiamo Jiamo, you were the one who said that this movie would give us all an unexpected surprise. Now the movie is about to start, just tell us about it!"

"Yes, Feng Jiamo, it's almost time to start, so stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what the surprise is!"

"Don't worry, it's almost starting, we'll know soon!"

Feng Jiamo is the center of attention and has now become the big sister of her class, and has been elected as the class monitor.

Now the class monitor is very stylish and his appetite is very whetting the classmates’ appetite, and they won’t let go until the very last moment.

Ok!

In fact, Feng Jiamo was also looking forward to seeing how her brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin would play the role of Xu Lingjun!
I wonder how Xu Lingjun, the prince charming in the hearts of these female students, will be portrayed by her brother-in-law?
I'm really looking forward to it.

But then again, even if her brother-in-law is playing himself, he is still the secret prince charming in the hearts of countless female college students.

This is the situation at Feng Jiamo's place, and it's the same situation at Zhu Shan's class next door.

It's Feng Jiayou's Chinese Department. Cha Jianying, Huang Beijia and others, who are familiar to Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiayou, are also looking forward to it.

Because Feng Jiamo, that damn girl, had already spoiled the story a long time ago, saying that there would be a big surprise in the movie The Horse Shepherd.

But she won't tell me when I ask her. I'll know after I watch the movie.

Now they finally waited for the movie "The Shepherd", but the youngest and the last Feng family members, Cheng Xuemin and others were not around, which made them feel a little regretful while looking forward to it.

"Jianying, what exactly is this surprise that the damn girl at the end of the family mentioned?"

"Could it be that damn girl who appeared in the movie?"

Huang Beijia looked around and found that her good sister Feng Jiayou and the others would probably not come to watch with them tonight.

During the day in class, Feng Jiayou greeted them and said that he might come with his family to watch the movie together.

They are all family members of the original author, and her husband is a teacher at Yan University. They must be watching in the family area.

So Huang Beijia felt a little regretful that Feng Jiayou and her lover Cheng Xuemin did not come over, and speculated with Cha Jianying beside him.

"You know what, Beijia, you might have guessed it right. That dead girl must have a role, otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned the movie as soon as she met us!" Cha Jianying agreed and nodded repeatedly.

"So what role do you think she will play in the movie?"

"It can't be that she is Xu Lingjun's Li Xiuzhi, right?"

"Don't do that!" Cha Jianying shook his head repeatedly and said, "Don't let that damn girl destroy the gentle image of Li Xiuzhi in my mind!"

"If that damn girl were to play Li Xiuzhi, I would...I would want to kill her!"

Cha Jianying waved his hands repeatedly, praying that Feng Jiamo's little girl would not destroy the Li Xiuzhi in everyone's mind. "I'm looking forward to her playing Li Xiuzhi. If it's really her, it will be so funny!" Huang Beijia laughed out loud.

"Beijia, I didn't expect you to be this kind of Huang Beijia... But it shouldn't be possible. I heard that the movie "The Wrangler" was filmed on location in the northwest, and the crew filmed there for more than two months!"

"At that time, Feng Jiamo was at home, studying for the college entrance examination. How could she have the time to go out and make a movie? Li Xiuzhi couldn't be her!"

Cha Jianying gave Huang Beijia a deliberately exaggerated look and laughed teasingly, but quickly helped her analyze the situation and denied it.

"That's right!" Huang Beijia nodded and said, "When the movie was being filmed, Jiamo and Jiayou were both at home preparing for the exam and never left Beijing. On the contrary, Cheng Xuemin...was basically out for the first half of the year and didn't even come back for Jiayou to give birth to Little Squirrel!"

"So, Jianying, tell me, the surprise that Feng Jiamo mentioned could be her brother-in-law, right?"

As Huang Beijia talked and analyzed, the more he analyzed, the brighter his eyes became, and he felt that he had guessed it.

"Eh? Beijia, now that you mention it, it's really possible! Could it be that Xu Lingjun is played by Cheng Xuemin himself..."

"Look, the cast list, Xu Lingjun, Cheng Xuemin and Teacher Cheng!"

Before Cha Jianying could finish his bold words, someone suddenly shouted, and subtitles began to appear on the big screen in front of the playground.

Those few big red words that catch your eye, aren’t they the list of barrage actors?

The first to bear the brunt were Xu Lingjun - Cheng Xuemin!

In an instant, the entire Yanda playground, with thousands of heads and eyes, were shocked.

"No way? We actually guessed it right! Jiayou's husband disappeared for a few months in the first half of the year. Did he really go to shoot the movie "The Horse Wrangler"? " Cha Jianying sighed in confusion.

"Oh my God! Xu Lingjun is really Cheng Xuemin, then, then, then...then those ignorant female students of our Yanda University will go crazy!?" Huang Beijia also exclaimed.

"Isn't it! You know, not all female students know that their teacher Cheng Xuemin has a lover!"

"Yes, but not everyone knows that our classmate Feng Jiayou is the love rival of all of them!"

"It's over, it's over. Teacher Cheng is going to charm a bunch of ignorant female students."

There was an commotion in the Chinese Department, and my sister-in-law Feng Jiamo was also in an uproar. In fact, all the teachers and students in Yanda University were stunned and surprised.

"Feng Jiamo! Is what they said true? Is that Xu Lingjun really played by your brother-in-law?"

"Feng Jiamo, you hid it so well, Xu Lingjun is actually your brother-in-law?"

"Um...wait a minute, wait a minute. Actually, the surprise I want to talk about is not this..."

Unfortunately, no matter how Feng Jiamo asked everyone to wait, it was never her turn to show off.

Because not only did her brother-in-law play Xu Lingjun, but she and Zhu Shan also made a cameo appearance in the movie, playing a small role.

This is what Feng Jiamo is most proud of and what she wants her classmates to see the most!

Unfortunately, after the opening subtitles were over and the main film had already begun, her name, Feng Jiamo, was not even seen on the big screen.

It can only be said that it is a small role, not worthy of the opening credits on the big screen.

Feng Jiamo was so angry that he was jumping up and down, but he could only be patient and wait for her to appear on the big screen and give his classmates a big surprise.

"Xuemin, this, this, this...are you the lead actor?"

Old Yang was sitting next to Cheng Xuemin in the faculty and staff family area. When he saw Xu Lingjun and Cheng Xuemin's names on the subtitles, he was instantly shocked and exclaimed.

"Ah?! Xiao Cheng, you are the lead actor?"

"Oh my, I didn't notice it before, but it turns out that you are the lead actor, Xiao Cheng?"

After Lao Yang's exclamation, the faculty and staff's families who knew Cheng Xuemin all looked over in amazement. Those who didn't know Cheng Xuemin were also surprised after he was introduced to them, because it turned out that the leading actor of the movie was sitting right next to them.

"That's also the reason why China Film Group specially sent us a copy. I... am actually quite embarrassed!" Cheng Xuemin smiled bitterly. He shouldn't have joined in today's fun. It was a mistake.

"Haha, are you still embarrassed? I can see you're really happy right now!"

"Good job, you managed to keep it a secret from us. You are amazing!"

Old Yang hit Cheng Xuemin on the shoulder in annoyance. This guy was really patient. He played the leading role in the movie but didn't even tell them a word.

It’s not a state secret, so why do you have to be so tight-lipped?

"low profile!"

“Watch a movie, watch a movie!”

Cheng Xuemin nodded shyly, and quickly pulled Lao Yang to sit down and watch the movie.

"really not bad!"

"Xuemin, I didn't expect you to be such a talented actor. You can act so well."

"It's really well acted, and the original novel is also well written."

After the main film started, everyone gradually quieted down and immersed themselves in the plot of the movie.

Old Yang and others around Cheng Xuemin originally intended to criticize him, but the more they watched him, the more they felt that Cheng Xuemin was a real all-rounder.

The novel is well written, as is the script. I didn't expect that I could act so well in the role myself.

It really amazed Lao Yang and the others.

"It's me, it's me. You see, you see, I didn't lie to you, there really is a role for me, right?"

The movie is almost coming to an end, and the plot begins with the father and son of Yan Jing at the Friendship Hotel. The camera happens to show a waitress in the hotel. Who else could it be but our sister-in-law Feng Jiamo?
So there was no need to look back, it must be his sister-in-law Feng Jiamo who was making noise behind his back.

This made the mother-in-law, father-in-law, and Feng's mother and father who were watching nearby roll their eyes. It was so shameful!
At the same time, Yan Film Studio also screened the new movie The Horseman almost at the same time tonight.

The leading actress Zhu Lin looked at the empty seat next to her with some depression. It was reserved for the leading actor Cheng Xuemin. It was a pity that he didn't come to watch the show tonight.

It seemed like no one informed her that Cheng Xuemin would not come to see her tonight, so she dressed up specially, but no one appreciated her!
