Chapter 356 Parting
Chapter 356 Parting
A few days later, the little bastard was shot for multiple robberies, serious injuries to others, and molesting women.
Recently, the troublemakers in the city have been getting more and more violent, and the little bastard is indeed lawless and commits crimes frequently. The higher-ups directly use the little bastard as an example, arrest him and immediately put him on trial, and publicly execute him in the shortest possible time to deter the troublemakers.
After entering December, conscription points were set up in various places in the capital, and those who met the registration requirements signed up for physical examinations.
However, the number of conscription places is limited, and only those students with good family backgrounds and good performance have the hope of joining the army.
People like Zhong Yuemin, Zheng Dong and others were not even eligible to register because of their family reasons.
Because there are too many young people of military age, the number of conscription places is limited, and the standards for physical examination and review are also very strict.
At the same time, the wave of going to the countryside to support rural construction was getting higher and higher. Many junior and senior high school students boarded the train to go to rural areas across the country to support rural construction.
The junior and senior high school students of the 66, 67 and 68 classes, due to the times, were mostly stuck in school, and now they are actively responding to the call to go to the countryside. The youngest of these people is only or years old.
That morning, after Lu Cheng taught Ning Qiang and Ning Wei some physical training and fighting skills as usual, Ning Qiang suddenly said, "Brother Cheng, I have passed the enlistment physical examination and will be enlisted in a few days. My brother is still young, so I'll trouble you to take care of him."
"It's okay. Do your best when you get to the army. Also, don't show off the skills I taught you, and don't hurt others at will. Now that you have learned these skills, you must be careful when you use them."
"I see. Thank you, Brother Cheng. By the way, Zhou Xiaobai asked us to tell you something. She also wants to join the army, and she wants to say goodbye to you before she leaves."
"Okay, I understand. You guys go back."
After sending the Ning Qiang brothers away, Lu Cheng went to the street to buy some food before returning to the yard.
Recently, brothers Li Kuiwei and Li Kuiyuan both got jobs, and their mother also got a job pasting paper boxes under the arrangement of the street office. The whole family is busy and their lives are getting better and better.
Moreover, after treatment, Li Kuiyong's mother's health is getting better and better, and she is no different from a normal person.
Compared with more than a month ago, the Li family has now basically solved the problem of food and clothing.
"Brother Cheng, you're back? Come sit down and eat. My mother stewed fish today. Come and try it."
"Everyone sit down and eat."
While eating, Li Kuiyong's mother talked about the two of them going to the countryside again: "Xiaocheng, have you and Kuiyong decided where to go to the countryside?"
"It's settled, let's go to northern Shaanxi."
"Okay, I'll feel at ease if Kui Yong follows you. Once we get there, if he dares to go out and make trouble again, you can beat him up."
"Mom, I won't go out and fool around anymore."
"Isn't it all thanks to your cousin? Your cousin saved our family. You brothers and sisters, you must remember your cousin's kindness to our family. Anyone who dares to be ungrateful will not recognize me as your mother."
"Why are you saying these things, Third Aunt? We are family and they are all my brothers and sisters. It is my responsibility to take care of them."
After having dinner with the Li family, Lu Cheng went to the department store again. When he came to a counter selling musical instruments, Lu Cheng immediately became interested and spent money to buy a flute, a harmonica, and a Hulusi.
When I move to the countryside in the future, to the desolate loess plateau in northern Shaanxi, these musical instruments can add some color to my ordinary life.
After buying the musical instruments, Lu Cheng found a deserted place to store them. Then he looked at the time and rode his bike to Beihai Park.
As soon as he arrived at the agreed location, Lu Cheng saw Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun standing not far away, and Zhou Xiaobai waved at him.
"Lu Cheng, here."
"Sorry, I'm late."
Zhou Xiaobai quickly waved his hands: "It's okay, we just arrived too."
"What do you mean just arrived? We've been waiting for more than half an hour. You guys chat, I'll go for a walk." After saying that, Luo Yun turned and left.
"Don't listen to Luo Yun's nonsense. By the way, I heard you were going to join the production team in northern Shaanxi?"
"Yes."
"Actually, if you want to join the army, I can talk to my dad about it."
"No, I don't want to join the army, and I haven't signed up."
"Oh, I heard that the conditions in northern Shaanxi are very difficult, and many people often don't have enough food to eat. If you need any help when you get there, you can write to me."
"Then I thank you in advance."
Recently, Zhou Xiaobai and Lu Cheng have met several times and talked about many topics, ranging from trivial matters in life to music, art, traditional culture and so on.
The knowledge and talent displayed by Lu Cheng constantly refreshed Zhou Xiaobai's cognition.
Faced with such a handsome, dignified and talented peer, Zhou Xiaobai naturally couldn't help but feel a liking for him.
But Lu Cheng's attitude made Zhou Xiaobai feel a little disappointed, as if the other party only regarded her as a little girl or a little sister, not a peer.
Every time Zhou Xiaobai wanted to express her feelings and test Lu Cheng's attitude towards her, he would always change the subject with a few words.
Now, Zhou Xiaobai is about to board a train for a long journey, and Lu Cheng is also about to go to the distant Loess Plateau. From now on, the two will be separated by thousands of miles.
Before leaving, Zhou Xiaobai suddenly wanted to have a good talk with Lu Cheng, no matter what.
In fact, Zhong Yuemin had pursued Zhou Xiaobai before, but with Lu Cheng standing there, even if he didn't show anything, he was far superior to Zhong Yuemin. Naturally, Zhou Xiaobai looked down on Zhong Yuemin.
"Lu Cheng, can you tell me why you want to go to northern Shaanxi? Even if it's not as good as being a soldier, isn't it good to stay in Yanjing?"
"Northern Shaanxi is also very good. It is a vast land with great potential. Moreover, it is precisely because of the poverty and desolation of northern Shaanxi that it has created a unique cultural heritage. I went to northern Shaanxi because I wanted to use what I learned and know to do something for the people there."
"If someone else said these words, I wouldn't believe them. But when you say them, I think they are true."
"Then I still want to thank you."
Zhou Xiaobai paused for a moment before he spoke: "Lu Cheng, I...I want to ask, what kind of girls do you like?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. Liking something is very strange, and there is no reason or standard. Before you meet the person you like, you may set a standard for yourself, and hope that the person you like in the future will be a kind of person, knowledgeable, gentle, or suave.
But when you really meet the person you like, you will find that even if the other person does not meet the mate selection criteria you set for yourself before, you will still like him without hesitation. Even if there is another person who completely meets your mate selection criteria standing next to you, you will still like the one who makes your heart beat. Who can say for sure about feelings? "
"It seems like you know everything. Have you ever liked a girl before?"
"Of course I have."
"Ah, so did you guys confess your feelings? Why aren't you together?"
"They confessed their love, got together, and finally stayed together until old age."
"Ah? Stay together until old age? You're not talking about this in a dream, are you?"
"How clever! You guessed it all right."
The highest level of lying is that you tell the truth but others don’t believe it at all.
After going around in circles and not getting the answer he wanted, Zhou Xiaobai was somewhat frustrated. He then said, "Lu Cheng, when you get to northern Shaanxi, can you write to me?"
"Of course. I don't have many friends, and you're one of them."
"Then I will write to you often."
At this point, Lu Cheng changed his tone and suddenly said, "Xiao Bai, do you want to hear my evaluation of you?"
"Of course. I'm also curious about what kind of person I am in your eyes."
"Xiao Bai, you have a good family background. Your parents and brothers love you very much. This is something many people envy. You are beautiful, kind, loyal, and have firm beliefs and a persistent mind. Once you meet the person you love, you will be very infatuated.
This is a good thing, but it can also make you vulnerable. Your background and personality make you a little proud, and once you are wronged or wronged, you don’t even bother to explain.
Zhou Xiaobai thought about it carefully after hearing this, and finally nodded: "Lu Cheng, you are right."
"In general, you are a very good girl. However, there are a few words that I would like to say. If you feel that what I said is wrong, just pretend you didn't hear it."
"You say it and I listen."
"Except your parents and family. Be more careful when dealing with people around you."
Zhou Xiaobai heard this and turned to look at Luo Yun in the distance: "Lu Cheng, are you talking about Luo Yun? She and I grew up together and have a very good relationship."
"You can't tell a person's true heart from his face. Some people may not show anything at ordinary times, but at a critical moment, their true nature may be exposed. Okay, just forget what I said. It's getting late, you should go home early."
In the original drama, Luo Yun relied on Zhou Xiaobai's relationship to serve in the army together and was assigned to the same hospital. Later, the hospital had an opportunity to be recommended for further study at a medical university. Luo Yun was dating Yuan Jun at the time, but the army did not allow ordinary soldiers to date, so Luo Yun asked Zhou Xiaobai to take care of the sick Yuan Jun instead of herself.
Finally, when the dean asked whether Zhou Xiaobai and Yuan Jun were in love, Luo Yun deliberately kept it vague, causing the dean to misunderstand that Zhou Xiaobai was in love with Yuan Jun. In the end, Luo Yun successfully entered the medical university for further studies.
However, even if she loses one opportunity, Zhou Xiaobai will have a second and third chance, and it will not have much impact on her.
So, Lu Cheng just mentioned it. As for whether she would take it to heart, it depends on her.
After all, to be honest, the relationship between Lu Cheng and Zhou Xiaobai may not be closer than that between her and Luo Yun.
Distance does not separate relatives. Lu Cheng just mentioned it casually. There is no need to say too much...
