"The latest work of @华旗设计 Artist Li Shixin is released! Three episodes of "Yan Baoxia, Your Man Calls You Home" will be aired in a row! Come and give me a thumbs up!"

Seeing this site-wide promotion that popped up on the phone screen, netizens who follow Li Shixin and follow "Yan Baoxia" are excited.

Compared with the one episode a day during the period of "Mobei", this time the update of "Yan Baoxia" is actually not stable. But it can't stand the large amount.

Watching one episode at a time and two episodes in three days, strictly speaking, of course, it is more comfortable to watch every day. But it's nice to endure the torment of that day and watch two episodes a day for double the happiness!

After seeing the promotion site, fans clicked on Li Shixin's Dou Shou account one after another. But the greater significance of platform promotion is to attract those netizens who have never paid attention to Li Shixin and the "Yan Baoxia" series.

Under the huge effect of the promotion on the homepage, in just a few minutes, the number of active users in Li Shixin's fighting hands exceeded 300,000!

When "Yan Baoxia" produced by a professional team with movie-level quality was presented in front of everyone, most people were instantly attracted by the highly restored and comfortable picture quality.

While this part of the new influx of netizens is still immersed in the plots of the previous episodes, the netizens who have been following along have already entered the video plot of the fourth act;

In the previous episode, Yan Baoxia secretly went to the street to sell popsicles and was discovered by Wang Yuming. But in the latest part, the story begins to take an important turning point.

Although the husband and wife are working hard for this small family, reality still presents them with the most difficult problem.

Although Yan Baoxia can make money, but in the era of planned economy and supply and marketing cooperatives, it is obvious that selling popsicles cannot make a lot of money.

A few cents a day is still a drop in the bucket for this poor family whose child has just reached one month and needs milk powder.

The husband and wife tried their best to survive the breastfeeding period of the child.

But as the child was weaned, new problems posed in front of Wang Yuming and Yan Baoxia.

In the era of planned economy, the rations of each villager were uniformly distributed by the production team. Yan Baoxia's household registration is in the countryside of Tangshan, and she cannot receive food rations. And no matter how hard Wang Yuming worked to earn work points, eating coarse grains was enough. But when a child is weaned, he needs to eat fine grains!

Children eat fine grains, and parents can only make a big discount on coarse grains.

At night, looking at the small bowl of rice porridge thick enough to stand chopsticks on the kang table, and the two bowls of corn paste as thin as soup, Wang Yuming felt mixed feelings.

Watching his wife with a smile on her increasingly haggard face, she fed the children. Wang Yuming finally wriggled his lips and said the last thing he wanted to say in his life.

"Baoxia."

"Um?"

"I'll take you...back to your hometown."

Yan Baoxia, who was delivering the porridge to the child's mouth, stopped, and when she heard Wang Yuming's words, her eyes turned red, "Don't you want our mother and daughter?"

"No, no, Baoxia, don't think too much. I just think it's not an option to go on like this! I'm not afraid of suffering, but I really can't help seeing you not getting enough to eat every day! You can get an extra ration when you go back to your hometown , I’ll make another share here, so that you can at least be full! See if you’re not full, I, I’m in pain!”

Twitching her cheeks, Wang Yuming pounded her heart.

After an unknown number of blows, he grabbed his hair. Because of long-term malnutrition, a lot of hair fell out as soon as I grabbed it.

Seeing her husband's painful self-reproach, Yan Baoxia put down the child and stood in front of her husband. He pulled the crying husband into his arms.

The man in her arms was crying like a child, she wiped away her tears and nodded heavily.

"I'll listen to you."

At the parting station, the husband and wife were one on the train and the other on the platform.

They looked at each other through a blurred car window.

There are tears of reluctance on the car, and a strong smile under the car.

With the sound of the train whistle, the train started slowly.

The first time I took the train, the infant child was frightened and cried loudly. While Yan Baoxia frantically comforted the child, she kept raising her head, looking at her husband who had to part again with tears in her eyes.

But that figure, as the train continued to move forward, became farther and farther away.

On the platform, the tears in Wang Yuming's eye circles did not fall until the train had completely disappeared from sight.

But soon, he wiped away the tears.

He turned around resolutely and went back to his job.

Yes, the current him is not qualified to be affected by any other emotions.

He just wants to work hard. Thousands of miles away, in his heart, there are two heavy responsibilities that he needs to bear with both hands!

The story of the fourth act ends here.

Seeing Yan Baoxia and Wang Yuming parting again, the comment area was full of tears;

"Master Nima, are you really planning to cry blind?! The farewell scene on the platform, where Wang Yuming and Yan Baoxia parted! You are tearing my heart!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The scene of Baoxia laughing breaks my heart! What kind of a man must be forced by life to make such a smile!"

"It's too difficult! It's really too difficult! Why is life so difficult?! Why is it so difficult for the two of them to be together?!"

"The scene on the platform was really crying. But the eating part was really unbearable. I ordered a braised chicken and rice at night, but I ate half of it and found it unpalatable. I might throw it away in normal times, but watching The small half bowl of porridge and two bowls of rice paste in the video were really... finished with tears in my eyes. I really can't imagine those hard days."

"Watching so many period dramas, the processing of the scene of eating is really the most plain but also the most shocking I have ever seen. Compared with other film and television dramas showing the same era, there is nothing earth-shattering in this episode. It's a joke, but a bowl of fine grain rice and two bowls of thin batter really make people feel pain in their hearts!"

"Stop talking, I can't take it anymore. Hurry up and watch the next episode!"

With the sighs of sand sculpture netizens, the story of the fifth act begins.

At the beginning of the video, it shows a picture scroll of an agricultural machinery factory in the last century.

Amidst the roar of the high door crane and the lathe, the loudspeaker on the factory rang; "All units pay attention, wages are paid, and queue up in the financial room after hearing the announcement!"

Among the long queues in front of the financial office, Wang Yuming, who was wearing khaki overalls with oil stains on his clothes, waited eagerly, looking into the financial office eagerly.

Beside him, several workers were studying the arrangements after get off work.

But all of this seemed to have nothing to do with Wang Yuming.

"Oh? Old Wang, what do you think after you get your salary? Have a drink at night?"

"Hey! What's the matter with you new here? When did you see that Lao Wang spent an extra penny on food and drink? He, he has a monthly salary of forty-two yuan, half of which is twenty yuan, and ten yuan Money to eat, and save the rest as travel expenses to see his wife and children. Lao Wang, am I right?"

Facing the ridicule from his co-workers, Wang Yuming grinned happily and said nothing.

In the cafeteria at noon, other workers who were paid had extra meals.

Wang Yuming sat in the corner with a steamed bun as usual. It's just that today is a special day in a month because he has to write a letter.

Letter to Yan Baoxia and her children.

"Baoxia, I got paid again today. Because I worked a lot of overtime last month, I earned 49 yuan after converting the work points. I sent 27 yuan to you and the children, and I kept 22 yuan for living. I have everything here. It's all good, don't worry about it. You are dragging the child over there, don't save money. Apart from the child, you must not skimp on it. Everything is fine here. Twenty-two yuan a month is enough for living expenses. I weighed myself when I took a shower yesterday. Fat again..."

After writing a letter that was a bit rambling and several pages long, he put twenty-seven yuan and the letter paper into the envelope, and put a stamp on it.

Looking at the twenty-two yuan left in his hand, he took out ten yuan from it and put it in his pocket.

The remaining twelve yuan was wrapped in a handkerchief and carefully placed in the breast pocket.

Then he took out his little notepad. On the last page marked "Travel Expenses" a twelve was added.

After adding up the sum of "twelve", Wang Yuming finally showed a smile on his skinny face when he saw that he had accumulated almost one hundred yuan.

But immediately, feeling that he had accumulated so much "big money" without knowing it, Wang Yuming frowned again.

He really couldn't get rid of his longing for his wife, but he also felt that it seemed a bit selfish for him to do so.

On the one hand, I miss it all the time in my heart.

One side is the quality of life of distant wives and children.

After weighing for a long time, he made a decision.

Silently raising his hand, he opened the sealed envelope, and stuffed the forty-nine yuan salary of this month into it.

"Dear Baoxia, I got paid again today. I worked a lot of overtime last month, and I got an extra bonus. I set aside enough living expenses, and the remaining forty-nine yuan will be remitted to you. In the future, I will give you a monthly payment. If you send an extra ten yuan, you and the child will spend everything, so there is no need to save..."

Taking out the pen and paper, Wang Yuming wrote a new letter after obviously writing it.
