Xie Zheng put the fish on the side of the table, and then lifted the lid of the pot. The water inside was already boiling, and the hot water was poured into a large iron basin. The chickens and ducks inside would shed hair easily, but the hot water was poured in. After that, the smell came out, and people who were not used to it could really vomit. Fortunately, Xu Ning and Ye Ling were not that squeamish, and Wang Xiuying’s mother and daughter didn’t even care. Every year during the Chinese New Year, their mother and daughter took care of themselves. Chicken and duck.
"In the future, when a lemon marries, you must first examine the other's morality and temperament. If it is good, I will not ask for a bride price. If it is not good, I will not let you marry. Daughter, I really don’t have to marry my daughter. She is a priceless treasure in my heart. I dare to buy it. Can you afford it?"
"That's not wrong at all. Although I don't have a daughter, I agree with you."
Xie Zheng glanced at Zhou Tao sideways, "You will come to the house after your daughter-in-law, don't you want to pay a penny?"
"Out, of course, I buy houses and cars, but I mean let Ziheng make money on my own. Getting married still counts on me and his mother. Why are we so tired? Raise him and send him to society. He has to prepare a car and house for him, and it hurts to think about it."
"This is not a very common thing."
"How common?" Zhou Tao did not agree with this point of view. "You bought your own house, right? Our house is also earned by me and Ye Ling, but I am not tired of the parents of the two families. How come our next generation? For children of China, they have to prepare a car and a house for them? If you don’t have money, you will get married later, and if you have enough money, you will marry a wife."
Xie Zheng's expression was indifferent, "The house we live in was given by mother-in-law."
"..." Brother Dei, is it heartbroken?
The two quickly went out with a large basin.
Regarding the issue of the bride price, it can be regarded as a stop here. This kind of thing is a matter for the person concerned and his family. There is a family situation, and the situation is different. Naturally, it must be treated differently.
However, many parents have good face. This family says that their daughters get married and the other party gives 10,000 yuan as a gift. When you hear it in your heart, you think that when your daughter gets married, you have to be a little bit more than this family.
You are a little more, I am a little more, and the price of the bride price has been stacked higher and higher, to the point where many families cannot afford it in the later period.
Of course, for some people in poverty-stricken areas, marrying a daughter is really disagreeable. If you save a little when your daughter gets married, and then bring it back to your daughter, it might not be a happy thing for both parties, but many families have more children. They were all used by their daughters to marry their sons and daughters-in-law. Maybe some newlyweds thought it was nothing, but if it was put on Xu Ning, it would be somewhat awkward.
It may not be possible to say resentment. After all, it is a sibling. Your parents raised you for a meal and sent you into a new family. Do you still have to watch them work tirelessly for your younger brother’s marriage?
How difficult it is to marry a daughter-in-law in a poverty-stricken area, you will know if you think about it. First of all, it is difficult to say whether there is a girl who likes to marry in this place. If there is no financial support, it will be difficult to marry a daughter-in-law.
It's just a brother's marriage, but it's a form based on the sister's marriage. After you marry, whether your in-laws will give you a good face is only you know.
More serious, even as long as the man’s family gives a lot of money, no matter what the other’s character is, whether the daughter likes it, he will force his daughter to marry for the son, which is not groundless.
Wang Xiuying looked like a good mother. At least her daughter and her future son-in-law met in free love, and through small talk, she also knew that the few requirements she and her future in-laws made were for the sake of her daughter.
The bride price is only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. This little money is really not enough for the daughter-in-law to marry the daughter-in-law. Maybe it will not be enough for the son to get married. This little money will be spent long ago, provided that they will keep this little money.
The meals needed for noon were all packed, and the three of them started frying in the kitchen.
Xie Zheng and Zhou Tao also speeded up their movements, otherwise it would be difficult to catch up.
Ye Ling was preparing to make the stuffing for eggplant box and chili box later. Wang Xiuying was washing vegetables at the door of the kitchen, Xiang Ping helped Xu Ning burn the fire, and Xu Ning himself poured the ribs into the pot and boiled first. Add seasonings to it while cooking, remove it after cooking, and stir-fry it in a pot.
Several people cook quickly, and the food is ready after about twelve o'clock.
It's just this point that Xu Guodong hasn't come over yet.
Wang Xiuying asked Xiang Ping to go out and shout, "His dad was called out before dawn in the morning, and he would go to some carts of sand for help."
Xu Guodong bought a tractor a few years ago. He usually helps the people in the village to plow the land. When he is free, he helps the four villages and villages. You can also make some money and save it. It's just the money for the farmland. Almost every household in the village owes accounts, and only waits for a piece of money to be settled at the end of the year, every year.
After Xiang Ping went out for a long time, he returned with Xu Guodong and two brothers, and soon the family gathered at the dinner table.
Anyway, Xie Zheng didn't know how many years he hadn't been sitting on the kang to eat. Cross-legged wouldn't be troublesome to her, but Xu Ning was really uncomfortable. A meal can be uncomfortable all over.
At the dinner table, everyone talked about the changes in the village over the years. Regardless of whether the village is still that village, but now every household has spare money, and there are more opportunities to work outside. As long as you are not a lazy person, you can guarantee that you will not die from starvation. Who could think of it when you were young There is still a good day today.
"Don't talk about eating these vegetables at that time. Every year, energy saving has one or two meat dishes. That is a good life. I remember that at that time, it was your two that had the best conditions in the village. Uncle Xu was in the town government. Go to work, not to mention Xie Zheng. My father was the village head at that time, and there was a supply and marketing agency at home. Life was good, but no matter how good it was, there would be absolutely no such treatment during the Chinese New Year."
The people present were all liberated from the big pot of rice and knew that era. From the beginning of Xu Guodong, several of them felt the same.
"You two looked good when you were young. Sometimes when you go to my supply and marketing agency, there are young girls and boys from the village walking around at the door, just to see you both."
Xu Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is there anything else? Why don't I remember at all?"
"You don't know that!" Xu Guodong laughed, "Although there were also slogans of free love at that time, but among our ten miles and eight villages, some of us are free to love and get married. They are not blind dates, let alone on a blind date. I’ve done something on the street. I can’t wait to be two meters away when I’m going to fall in love.
"Xie Zheng had been eyeing Xu Ning a long time ago. At that time, Xu Ning was famously beautiful in school. The boys who liked her from middle school to high school. Half of the boys in the school liked her. Fortunately, at that time. The atmosphere is not as open as it is now, otherwise there is still Xie Zheng, and I don’t know who will pursue him."
Xie Zheng curled his lips, "You really dare to say it."
"Why, did Lao Zhou like Xu Ning before?" Ye Ling had a gossip.
"Hey, I'm really not afraid to go back to the washboard. At that time, I also liked Xu Ning. Unfortunately, Xie Zheng and I were classmates for several years, and we were in the same class in high school. I remember talking to Xie Zheng at the time. , I like Xu Ning, but Xie Zheng told me directly that Xu Ning and I were not suitable. Now I know, I was not sure how to scold me at the time."
Since Zhou Tao dared to speak so bluntly, Ye Ling naturally wouldn't take it to heart.
"Actually, in my opinion, even if you don't have Xie Zheng, you are not doing it!"
"Well, I found it!" Zhou Tao nodded solemnly, "The average man really can't afford Xu Ning."
"Is it that exaggeration?" Xu Ning laughed blankly.
"But Xie Zheng is not easy. There are also many female classmates who like him. At that time, I remembered that there was a female classmate with a very high hairline. Let me go to that class and squeeze the other party for a big meal, and made them cry. Thinking about it now, it's all black history."
Xu Ning turned to look at Xie Zheng next to him, and saw that his expression had not changed at all, "Is there anything else?"
The children ate and listened to their elders talking about their childhood. Zhou Ziheng learned that his father still liked Aunt Xu when he was in school. He muttered in his heart that he almost could not be born in this world. His mother is definitely One big hero.
The cool breeze is faithful, and the autumn moon is boundless!
The countryside in the night is extremely quiet. There is no corporate engine sound that can be heard all night long, and there are insects tweeting everywhere.
Xu Ning was lying on Xie Zheng in sweat. The craziness just now made her seem to open a door, letting go of all the shame and shackles.
The palm of her hand was groping on her sweaty back, and Xie Zheng's breath was also a little confused.
"You are great tonight!" he praised.
Xu Ning kissed him twice, "I feel like my hair is still fluttering now. It's really inconvenient to take a bath here!"
She's so slimy and wet, she won't be able to sleep peacefully without taking a bath.
Xie Zheng turned over and put his wife on the bed. He picked up the bathrobe beside the kang and put it on, "Wait, I'll bring you water and take a bath."
"Oh, thank you dear!"
After staying here for three days, Xie Zheng and his wife said goodbye to Xu Guodong's family, and together with Zhou Tao, they left this small village that people will miss infinitely.
Like it, it doesn't have to be possessed, and it doesn't have to be in front of you at all times. Like it can be a kind of nostalgia, a memory.
Just like Xiangshan Village, there are memories of the two from their childhood. The memories are beautiful, painful, regretful, and reunited.
They like it here. After all, this is the root, but they don't have to stay in this small mountain village all the time. No matter where they go, this land is always stored in the deepest part of their hearts.
The village drifted farther and farther away, and soon disappeared behind him.
Before leaving, Xu Guodong packed a lot of things for them, all of which were for food. Although they are not able to use them at home, they will inevitably feel uncomfortable if they refuse. Of course, they will not be wasted when they take them home. There are also some peanuts, which are full. Probably the pick was given to them.
Xu Ning wrapped a red envelope for Xu Xiangping. She would definitely not be able to come back when she got married. The red envelope was not too much, more than six thousand yuan, but when the red envelope was given, the two sides made a joke.
At that time, the red envelope was given to Xu Xiangping by the couple. The girl stood shyly behind her mother, but refused to reach out.
Upon seeing this, Xu Guodong pushed the red envelope back, "What kind of red envelopes are you giving? The family is now in good condition and there is money left, so you don't need to give it."
"Then you don't accept red envelopes, and we don't want your things!" Xie Zheng said half-jokingly.
Xu Guodong was stunned for three seconds when he heard it, and then he prepared to take his things out of the trunk.
"Tell me about you. If you don't accept it, you don't want things. Our family's things are only worth a few dollars. You directly gave such a thick red envelope. How can we accept it? If not, we will take it back."
Xie Zheng was rarely stunned by Xu Guodong's actions. This guy played his cards completely unreasonably.
He stepped forward, held his hand, and stuffed the red envelope into his hand, “I’m an elder anyway, and we had good friendships when we were young, and our niece is about to get married. We will most likely not be able to come back by that time, so we can add auspicious celebration to the child. You still refuse. When you were young, it seemed that your personality was not like this. How come the bigger the more straightforward!"
"What kind of rectum, you give it three to five hundred, see if I can accept it, look at this red envelope, let's talk for a few days, we haven't done anything, you give so much, who dares to accept it."
Xu Ning looked at the two of them on the bar, and smiled: "In these years, your family has helped us take care of the house, and we can live in it directly after a few years. This is not a friendship. The significance of this is extraordinary, we are grateful, and this is for Xiang Ping, not for you, you two can't get ignorant."
Hearing what Xu Ning said, the couple was really embarrassed to refuse again, so as not to continue to make a red face. People Xie Zheng and his wife are leaving today, so don't leave a bad impression on others.
"Then I will accept it, Xiang Ping, thank you uncle and aunt."
Xu Xiangping came forward, blushing and thanked the two of them.
In retrospect, I saw that the distance had passed the county seat, and I was about to enter the expressway from here soon.
"When I was planning to come back, I went to town to visit the high school teacher." Xu Ning said softly.
Ye Ling looked at her, "Why didn't you go? If you want to go, you can go and have a look. Anyway, it's not far away. I drove for less than half an hour."
"The teacher in my graduating class passed away a few years ago, with advanced lung cancer."
"You're not young anymore, right?"
"Well, it's been more than 80 years since I passed away. I still learned from a classmate. I haven't talked about the senior high school teacher before. I occasionally said that I wanted to come back to visit, but the result is no longer there."
"Your graduating class teacher sounds like a very good teacher, otherwise there is nothing to make you miss."
"It’s pretty good to me. After all, I was a high school student at that time. Every time I took the exam, I was the first one!" Xu Ning smiled unhumbly. In consideration, if you can pass the test, your life will change drastically. Nowadays, some teachers only fight for performance. How many good students are tested has a great influence on their evaluation or bonus."
"No matter how much bonus it is, I never thought about teaching high school graduating class. It's really not easy to take!" Ye Ling unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and drank a sip of water. The lecturer is relatively relaxed, close to home, and convenient to go back and forth."
"Zhou Tao's profession can be away from home for several days in a situation. If even you are busy, Ziheng will really be lonely."
"He didn't know what loneliness was, so he entered the third year of high school. Because of his intense studies, he got a lot of money. Before, he often didn't have a family. I was the loneliest one." Ye Ling complained.
Zhou Tao glanced at his wife through the rearview mirror, "I need it for work!"
"I know, I didn't stop you." Ye Ling understands her husband's work. The reason why she liked Zhou Tao at the beginning was also after she met Zhou Tao. She often heard Zhou Tao talk about archeological matters. She is very familiar with ancient Chinese history. I was interested. When I was in college, I often soaked in the library to read historical records and historical books of various dynasties. However, although I read a lot, I didn’t know as much as Zhou Tao. She was attracted by Zhou Tao because of the increased number of contacts. Married him.
Occasionally there will be two complaints, but Zhou Tao will not be annoying. After all, she often pulls Zhou Tao to discuss the affairs of emperors of various dynasties and generations. Zhou Tao is also happy to talk about this with his wife. The two have a lot of common topics. , I’ve been talking about it for almost 20 years, and it’s not too annoying.
"What do you plan to do when you go back to work on National Day?"
"The research institute still has some work. The collections in the museum will also be inspected and maintained regularly. There are still many piles of funerary objects that need to be repaired. Are there any things going out now? It's all meticulous work."
Xie Zheng laughed and said: "When you were young, it was really hard to imagine that you could actually do meticulous work, and you could play basketball with a little free time. In your forties, when you are in the prime of life, you have a beer belly. This is not okay."
"You think everyone is the same as you. You are still in your forties? You are almost ready to order. It's so good to meet to save me a little face and clean up a little. If you are like this, I will still be willing to meet with you in the future? Not counted, right?"
After that, he sighed again, "Years make people grow old, think about it, I was a handsome young man, not worse than my son, and now I am an old man who is about to die. I feel sore when I think about it. I really want to wait. Back in time."
"It's no wonder that the ancient emperors wanted to live forever. They were the emperors over tens of thousands of people. He was in control of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Naturally, he wanted to live for a long time and enjoy the fortune of the country forever. Even ordinary people like you think about it. Back in time, they pursue longevity and understanding."
It was half past one in the afternoon when they arrived in Jiangcheng, and the plane of the two of them was more than six o'clock, so they were not in a hurry to go to the airport.
Everyone came to Zhou Tao's house, simply cooked something to eat, and took a break in his guest room by the way.
Sleeping until almost four o'clock, Zhou Tao drove the two of them to the airport. It only takes an hour to get to the airport from here, without delay.
Before leaving, Xie Zheng wanted to give them some things. However, Zhou Tao brought a lot of things back from his hometown. They didn't need them at all, but they had no choice but to carry large bags and small bags into the airport lobby.
At this time, it is naturally inconvenient to stuff things into the space, and it is easy to be seen by people. You can only check all the things and send them to the old lady's house after returning to the imperial capital.
"If you have time to take your family to the imperial capital, there is also a place to live there."
Zhou Tao nodded, "Definitely go. When the children will have summer vacation next year, I will take time to take them over and see the house your mother-in-law gave you."
Xu Ning was embarrassed, this guy has not forgotten that.
Immediately going to the security check, the two big men gave a hug and patted each other on the shoulders to say goodbye.
"We're gone, you go back, pay attention to safety on the way."
"I know, call home to report that you are safe." Zhou Tao waved his hand and watched the two pass the security check before leaving the airport with his trouser pockets in his pockets.
After getting on the plane, Xu Ning called the family and told them to get home tonight and leave the meal at home, and then the phone was turned off.
In the Xu family’s old house, when the family had just started eating, Qin Xuejuan received a call from her daughter and learned that the couple had just boarded the plane and asked to stay for dinner.
When the old lady heard it, she said, "Otherwise, wait for them both."
"Don't wait!" Xu Jianjun said: "Just get on the plane, it will take at least two and a half hours to get home. When you come back, these dishes will be cold long ago. When you let the kitchen leave, cook two or three dishes and put them in the pot. can."
Qin Xuejuan nodded, she also meant the same, and her daughter only said that she was leaving a meal, and she didn't let the family wait.
Besides, the daughter is not an outsider, and there is not so much attention in the family.
Besides, I called back and said that it was a meal. This is just to say casually. This time I must have given a lot of things there. The two of them have to be sent here. Even if there is no food at home, Xu Ning can make it by himself. , Just call them and tell them that the two are now on the plane, so don't worry about the family.
Food, but secondly, safety is the most important thing.
The old lady loves her grandchildren, and what the two children say is what she considers.
Nowadays, Xu Boyan's children are breast-feeding, and Xu Rui and his wife almost all live here. Both of them have to work during the day. The child stays here for Qin Xuejuan and his wife to watch. Fortunately, the child is so sweet and seldom cries.
But sometimes when he gets sleepy, his grandparents are still teasing around. The little guy will groan and cry when he is upset. The month is light, but the crying is definitely not small.
If an old lady is hired, even Xu Jianjun and his wife, who became grandparents, can get a chat from the old lady.
Knowing that their parents came back today, the three brothers and sisters Xie Yang returned to the room to pack their things after eating. Not surprisingly, they are going home tonight. School will start the day after tomorrow. They will have to prepare at home tomorrow and have dinner at noon. After returning to school early, you can play ball games or bubble the library after you go.
Xie Zheng and his wife arrived at the Imperial Capital Airport at 8 o’clock, then they got married and drove back to the Xu’s old house. It was already past nine o’clock in the evening. When driving at night, Xie Zheng was always careful and the speed was not fast, even though his driving skills have always been very good. , But you can't stand someone coming to hit you, so be careful.
As soon as the engine of the car rang outside, the three children and Xu Rui came out of the house.
Xie Zheng didn't drive the car into the yard. He still had to go back at night. It didn't need to be so troublesome.
"What are you bringing?" Xu Rui saw the two big snakeskin bags behind, thinking that his sister and brother-in-law were carrying them in and out of the airport, and laughed loudly, "No one is staring at you at the airport. Bar?"
"Just look at it. Is there anything shameful about this?" Xu Ning slapped her brother on the shoulder. "Move to the house. This one is heavier. There are 20 or 30 kilograms of peanuts in it. It's new this year. Coming down."
"We have peanuts in the grain shop over here in the morning market, and you still bring some back!" Xu Rui took one of the snakeskin bags and walked into the house quickly, and Xie Zheng moved the other one behind.
"Mom, what's in it? Little Lemon affectionately held her mother's next door, jumping into the house with Xu Ning.
"They are all the souvenirs from the folks in my hometown. I will copy some peanuts for you to eat at school tomorrow? It's covered with a layer of flour and sugar."
Little Lemon thought for a while, then nodded, "I want it!"
He pulled out his arm and held the girl's shoulder, "Have you reviewed your homework these days?"
"Yes, I like to read and study." The little girl looked up at her mother delicately, her delicate face and lovely smile made her feel bright when she looked at it.
"My little princess is really cute."
"It's your little cutie."
"Yes, mine!"
When they came to the living room, the elders were very happy to see her back.
The old lady glanced at her granddaughter. "Have you two having fun this time?"
"Don't say it, it's very happy." Xu Ning picked up the teacup and poured a glass of water. "The old house was taken care of by Brother Guodong very well. When we were there, there was no dust inside and it was very clean. But the courtyard of our old house It’s a little unsightly inside, and the house can still be sheltered from wind and rain."
After drinking a glass of water, she said to the old man: "Grandpa's old house has also been seen. There are a lot of vegetables planted in the courtyard. When Xie Zheng and I went to look at it, there were spinach and green onions. These three courtyards It’s all Guo Dongge's help with cooking, and they are very dedicated."
The old lady was obviously in a good mood, "Guodong's child is a deliberate. When he was a child, he looked like a leather monkey, but now he can handle it."
"His daughter will get married next spring and gave her a red envelope when she left."
"It should be, and they are not obliged to take care of the old house for us, and they also tidy up so well." The old lady is actually very stingy, but she is not stingy about everything. She knows this kind of thing clearly in her heart.
For example, the younger generations of Yu's family who are not righteous, she will not wait to see her, and will not give a penny.
If Xu Guodong's daughter got married, it should be given.
After that, I asked what Xu Xiangping was looking for, and Xie Zheng and Xu Rui also came in with food.
"Sister, let's eat first."
"Come here!" She said to the old lady: "Brother Guodong gave some peanuts and many other things. We won't take them all home. I will leave them to you. I will only take two. Three catties of peanuts will do."
After dinner, Xu Rui went to the kitchen to clean up. Xu Ning chatted with the elders in the family for a while, and it was time for their family to go back.
In mid-October, the China TV Media Awards Ceremony was held in the Imperial Capital.
As one of the sponsors of one of the parties, Diyi Group was invited to attend the conference. Because there was time on that day, she did not refuse. She hadn't been to that kind of occasion for a long time, and she did not reject it.
As the annual awards ceremony of China’s most important TV field, the selection of its TV series is also relatively strict, and generally tends to the mainstream. Nowadays, the fantasy drama Tiandao produced by Feihong Entertainment is still in post-production. Naturally, there is no way to participate in the award competition. Even if it is reported, the possibility of receiving the award is very low. And the TV series with the theme of the Republic of China currently being produced by the company has not been finalized, so Feihong Entertainment cannot participate in this year’s awards. Those who are running can only wait until next year.
Xu Ning specifically called Xu Rui and asked him if he had time that day, but Xu Rui had something to go abroad for business.
Brother Zheng didn't expect it. He went to patrol the garrisons in various places a few days ago. Now it seems that she can only attend by herself, not even a male companion.
With three or four days to go before the award ceremony, Lu Kang found Xu Ning.
"Do you have a male companion?"
"...No!" She shook her head.
"It just so happens. Let's attend together. My wife is back to Nancheng to take care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Okay." Xu Ning nodded, "The elderly in the family is in poor health?"
"Well, I'm sick, San Gao, I attended a wedding banquet before, and I drank too much, which caused some symptoms."
They are not celebrities and don’t need to walk the so-called red carpet. This is not a charity dinner. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they have a companion, but since it’s an awards ceremony, you can have a companion and you can also chat. Sitting.
When the day came, Xu Ning set off from the company and Lu Kang in decent dress, and the party opened at the Imperial Workers Stadium.
They came not too early, at least when they came, the stars had already started to walk on the red carpet, and this awards ceremony will also be broadcast live on Imperial TV and kk video.
The two entered the award ceremony site in another announcement. Many people have gathered here, including Yan Yunxi and his wife.
Qin Hong saw Xu Ning in full costume come here elegantly. The men around him were also in black suits, full of the sense of precipitation of time. Although Lu Kang was not as good-looking as Xie Zheng, he had his own unique aura, plus he was an emperor. The vice president of the group, who has been in charge for many years, is full of aura, which makes it impossible to ignore.
"Xu Ning, haven't seen you for a long time!" Qin Hong wore a red one-shoulder dress and swayed. As a former international film queen, now the entertainment director of Feihong, she is more than those stars in the entertainment industry. In order to create a unique charm and attraction, no matter how beautiful the female celebrities in the circle are, how high the attention is, but when she is put together with the other party, Qin Hong can always get most of the attention.
The two gave a hug, and Xu Ning smiled and said, "It's quite early!"
"It's you guys who are late, the red carpet has already started outside, and the front is coming in one after another, let's go in together."
"good!"
The four people entered the award ceremony site together, and their positions were all posted with their own names. As the award ceremony for China’s premier TV drama field, all aspects of the scene were arranged in an orderly manner. The directors and stars who came to the ceremony were extremely behind the scenes. , All communicated with the organizer at the very beginning, so the order in the venue was orderly and there was no mess at all.
After the staff checked the invitation letter, someone was assigned to lead them to their respective positions. Xu Ning is the investor and the position is relatively high. Of course, it is also behind the protagonists. In fact, after seeing the position, Xu Ning still thinks Do it more later.
No way, who makes them the father of the investor!
In front of her, the people sitting in front of her are all celebrities, and they are all dressed in ordinary clothes. Those who can sit in the front must be nominated crews and actors. The front row of Xu Ning is the second-tier, third-tier or even fourth-tier. The line artist, although she may not be able to call her name, but at any rate they are all familiar faces.
At the diagonally opposite position, there is a female celebrity. The dress made Xu Ning whisper in her heart, which must have offended the stylist.
The clothes were made up of a bunch of rags, and the shape of the hair was indescribable.
Even if you are wearing a decent evening dress, with loose hair, or a big wave, you don’t have to worry about being embarrassed. This has to be a protruding look. I have to doubt her company’s intention to use this method to blog the topic, or I really think this is the trend.
The male celebrities present are generally dressed in suits, black, blue, white, etc., and most of them are quite satisfactory, so there is no need to worry about making mistakes.
Stars on the red carpet come in in batches. This is also very particular. Generally, if you are an artist from the same company, you will be able to bring a high-traffic area with only a familiar back. Many of them are with the crew. , There are also seven-to-eighth lines that will rub on the red carpet. The time of rubbing is within a controllable range. The organizers generally don’t make it difficult for the stars. After all, this approach is understandable, but if there is no bottom line, A staff member will come forward and let them come in quickly.
Regardless of the embarrassment in the heart, at least the surface pride is maintained.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the award ceremony officially kicked off.
The opening ceremony is a song sung by Wei Ying, a popular female singer in the music scene. It is also the theme song of the same name for the nine-nominated TV series "The Hourglass" that is live tonight. This TV series is very beautiful, at least Xu Ning can watch all the episodes. It's over. Although they are all on the kk video, there is no fast forward. The TV series is a commercial war theme. It is a commercial war in a pure sense. There is no **** love in it. It is about several families from the 1930s to the reform. The opening today, and then entering the rapid development of the present, the series of reforms and changes experienced, it seems that people feel hearty.
The original author and screenwriter of "Hourglass" is Xu Ning's acquaintance, Gao Jie, the daughter of the chairman of Gaoshen Group, and a classmate of Xu Ning University.
The commercial battle plots in this drama are not her personal experience, but they are all reasonable. In an interview with the magazine, Gao Jie said that these commercial battle plots were all she heard from the older brother of the current president of Gaoshen Group. Yes, many of the plots are also directed by Mr. Gao for her.
The whole novel looks hearty and hearty. It is the best-selling work that ranked first on the Internet last year. Even in the current mainstream social romance environment, it can still stand out proudly.
And she feels that many authors who write online romance novels have also read this novel, because many of the commercial battle plots in the CEO's article have the shadow of "Hourglass" in it.
Since Wei Ying debuted, he has released two best-selling albums, and later became the theme song of no less than 20 or 30 TV series. No matter how low the ratings of the TV series, the theme song sung by Wei Ying can always become popular and become a vocalist. She is an extremely wide-ranging musical masterpiece, so many TV dramas will invite her to sing. At the same time, because of her wide vocal range, she can control any style of music. She has won awards of all sizes after only six years of debut. A few, but also one of the few Chinese female singers who can be invited to participate in Grammys, and even sing the opening ceremony songs at the Grammy awards ceremony.
At the end of the song, Xu Ning responded with the most sincere applause.
The annual China TV Awards Ceremony is an unprecedented event, and many of China's first-line stars and senior actors will come to participate.
At this time, all the stars active on TV suddenly appeared in front of them, which was a pleasing thing to the eye.
At the same time, I also found that Xu Ning was somewhat disappointed, that is, the beautiful female celebrities on TV or photos at this time seemed to be covered with makeup remover in front of her eyes, all of them were exposed, and of course they could hold it. The scene is not without, but limited.
Many female stars who have been praised by the media for their skin and facial features have frozen age. They make people feel that they are wearing a magic mirror. easy.
The judges invited by the organizer are all domestic heavyweights, and the fairness of the awards is unquestionable. As time goes by, the major awards have gradually fallen into the pockets of the nominators.
In the kk video, the audience who followed this awards ceremony throughout the whole process also expressed their opinions. Most of them were convinced of the attribution of this award. There were only a few fans of traffic stars. Because they did not win the award, they said that there are inside stories and so on in the yin and yang. These are all small waves, which can't be churn.
The award ceremony ended with a dinner. As the investor’s father, Xu Ning was naturally invited by the organizer. Now that she has come, she has no plans to retreat. After all, in this position, there are many things that you don’t like in your heart. , You have to do it and persevere, no matter how awesome the character is, it is difficult to do anything as you please.
"Xu Ning, you are amazing now, you are actually an investor." Gao Jie saw Xu Ning, came over with a red wine glass, and touched her slightly.
Xu Ning raised her wine glass for a moment, then smiled and said, "Isn't it amazing that I have always been?"
Gao Jie was stunned, and then laughed heartily, "Yes, you have always been amazing, count me wrong."
She sincerely wanted to congratulate Gao Jie, "I haven't congratulated you on winning the prize yet."
"Compared with you, I'm just a little joke, but with this award, my parents can finally change my career."
"They didn't agree before?"
"No, I have always wanted me to join the company. I can't stand that kind of restraint. Most of these years, I have been collecting styles from all over the world. Although the previous novels are also published, the price is not bad, but That’s all. After all, I’m writing mainstream novels, which are not in line with today’s young people. This time the copyright and script adaptation have made some money.”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Xie Zheng put the fish on the side of the table, and then lifted the lid of the pot. The water inside was already boiling, and the hot water was poured into a large iron basin. The chickens and ducks inside would shed hair easily, but the hot water was poured in. After that, the smell came out, and people who were not used to it could really vomit. Fortunately, Xu Ning and Ye Ling were not that squeamish, and Wang Xiuying’s mother and daughter didn’t even care. Every year during the Chinese New Year, their mother and daughter took care of themselves. Chicken and duck.
"In the future, when a lemon marries, you must first examine the other's morality and temperament. If it is good, I will not ask for a bride price. If it is not good, I will not let you marry. Daughter, I really don’t have to marry my daughter. She is a priceless treasure in my heart. I dare to buy it. Can you afford it?"
"That's not wrong at all. Although I don't have a daughter, I agree with you."
Xie Zheng glanced at Zhou Tao sideways, "You will come to the house after your daughter-in-law, don't you want to pay a penny?"
"Out, of course, I buy houses and cars, but I mean let Ziheng make money on my own. Getting married still counts on me and his mother. Why are we so tired? Raise him and send him to society. He has to prepare a car and house for him, and it hurts to think about it."
"This is not a very common thing."
"How common?" Zhou Tao did not agree with this point of view. "You bought your own house, right? Our house is also earned by me and Ye Ling, but I am not tired of the parents of the two families. How come our next generation? For children of China, they have to prepare a car and a house for them? If you don’t have money, you will get married later, and if you have enough money, you will marry a wife."
Xie Zheng's expression was indifferent, "The house we live in was given by mother-in-law."
"..." Brother Dei, is it heartbroken?
The two quickly went out with a large basin.
Regarding the issue of the bride price, it can be regarded as a stop here. This kind of thing is a matter for the person concerned and his family. There is a family situation, and the situation is different. Naturally, it must be treated differently.
However, many parents have good face. This family says that their daughters get married and the other party gives 10,000 yuan as a gift. When you hear it in your heart, you think that when your daughter gets married, you have to be a little bit more than this family.
You are a little more, I am a little more, and the price of the bride price has been stacked higher and higher, to the point where many families cannot afford it in the later period.
Of course, for some people in poverty-stricken areas, marrying a daughter is really disagreeable. If you save a little when your daughter gets married, and then bring it back to your daughter, it might not be a happy thing for both parties, but many families have more children. They were all used by their daughters to marry their sons and daughters-in-law. Maybe some newlyweds thought it was nothing, but if it was put on Xu Ning, it would be somewhat awkward.
It may not be possible to say resentment. After all, it is a sibling. Your parents raised you for a meal and sent you into a new family. Do you still have to watch them work tirelessly for your younger brother’s marriage?
How difficult it is to marry a daughter-in-law in a poverty-stricken area, you will know if you think about it. First of all, it is difficult to say whether there is a girl who likes to marry in this place. If there is no financial support, it will be difficult to marry a daughter-in-law.
It's just a brother's marriage, but it's a form based on the sister's marriage. After you marry, whether your in-laws will give you a good face is only you know.
More serious, even as long as the man’s family gives a lot of money, no matter what the other’s character is, whether the daughter likes it, he will force his daughter to marry for the son, which is not groundless.
Wang Xiuying looked like a good mother. At least her daughter and her future son-in-law met in free love, and through small talk, she also knew that the few requirements she and her future in-laws made were for the sake of her daughter.
The bride price is only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. This little money is really not enough for the daughter-in-law to marry the daughter-in-law. Maybe it will not be enough for the son to get married. This little money will be spent long ago, provided that they will keep this little money.
The meals needed for noon were all packed, and the three of them started frying in the kitchen.
Xie Zheng and Zhou Tao also speeded up their movements, otherwise it would be difficult to catch up.
Ye Ling was preparing to make the stuffing for eggplant box and chili box later. Wang Xiuying was washing vegetables at the door of the kitchen, Xiang Ping helped Xu Ning burn the fire, and Xu Ning himself poured the ribs into the pot and boiled first. Add seasonings to it while cooking, remove it after cooking, and stir-fry it in a pot.
Several people cook quickly, and the food is ready after about twelve o'clock.
It's just this point that Xu Guodong hasn't come over yet.
Wang Xiuying asked Xiang Ping to go out and shout, "His dad was called out before dawn in the morning, and he would go to some carts of sand for help."
Xu Guodong bought a tractor a few years ago. He usually helps the people in the village to plow the land. When he is free, he helps the four villages and villages. You can also make some money and save it. It's just the money for the farmland. Almost every household in the village owes accounts, and only waits for a piece of money to be settled at the end of the year, every year.
After Xiang Ping went out for a long time, he returned with Xu Guodong and two brothers, and soon the family gathered at the dinner table.
Anyway, Xie Zheng didn't know how many years he hadn't been sitting on the kang to eat. Cross-legged wouldn't be troublesome to her, but Xu Ning was really uncomfortable. A meal can be uncomfortable all over.
At the dinner table, everyone talked about the changes in the village over the years. Regardless of whether the village is still that village, but now every household has spare money, and there are more opportunities to work outside. As long as you are not a lazy person, you can guarantee that you will not die from starvation. Who could think of it when you were young There is still a good day today.
"Don't talk about eating these vegetables at that time. Every year, energy saving has one or two meat dishes. That is a good life. I remember that at that time, it was your two that had the best conditions in the village. Uncle Xu was in the town government. Go to work, not to mention Xie Zheng. My father was the village head at that time, and there was a supply and marketing agency at home. Life was good, but no matter how good it was, there would be absolutely no such treatment during the Chinese New Year."
The people present were all liberated from the big pot of rice and knew that era. From the beginning of Xu Guodong, several of them felt the same.
"You two looked good when you were young. Sometimes when you go to my supply and marketing agency, there are young girls and boys from the village walking around at the door, just to see you both."
Xu Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is there anything else? Why don't I remember at all?"
"You don't know that!" Xu Guodong laughed, "Although there were also slogans of free love at that time, but among our ten miles and eight villages, some of us are free to love and get married. They are not blind dates, let alone on a blind date. I’ve done something on the street. I can’t wait to be two meters away when I’m going to fall in love.
"Xie Zheng had been eyeing Xu Ning a long time ago. At that time, Xu Ning was famously beautiful in school. The boys who liked her from middle school to high school. Half of the boys in the school liked her. Fortunately, at that time. The atmosphere is not as open as it is now, otherwise there is still Xie Zheng, and I don’t know who will pursue him."
Xie Zheng curled his lips, "You really dare to say it."
"Why, did Lao Zhou like Xu Ning before?" Ye Ling had a gossip.
"Hey, I'm really not afraid to go back to the washboard. At that time, I also liked Xu Ning. Unfortunately, Xie Zheng and I were classmates for several years, and we were in the same class in high school. I remember talking to Xie Zheng at the time. , I like Xu Ning, but Xie Zheng told me directly that Xu Ning and I were not suitable. Now I know, I was not sure how to scold me at the time."
Since Zhou Tao dared to speak so bluntly, Ye Ling naturally wouldn't take it to heart.
"Actually, in my opinion, even if you don't have Xie Zheng, you are not doing it!"
"Well, I found it!" Zhou Tao nodded solemnly, "The average man really can't afford Xu Ning."
"Is it that exaggeration?" Xu Ning laughed blankly.
"But Xie Zheng is not easy. There are also many female classmates who like him. At that time, I remembered that there was a female classmate with a very high hairline. Let me go to that class and squeeze the other party for a big meal, and made them cry. Thinking about it now, it's all black history."
Xu Ning turned to look at Xie Zheng next to him, and saw that his expression had not changed at all, "Is there anything else?"
The children ate and listened to their elders talking about their childhood. Zhou Ziheng learned that his father still liked Aunt Xu when he was in school. He muttered in his heart that he almost could not be born in this world. His mother is definitely One big hero.
The cool breeze is faithful, and the autumn moon is boundless!
The countryside in the night is extremely quiet. There is no corporate engine sound that can be heard all night long, and there are insects tweeting everywhere.
Xu Ning was lying on Xie Zheng in sweat. The craziness just now made her seem to open a door, letting go of all the shame and shackles.
The palm of her hand was groping on her sweaty back, and Xie Zheng's breath was also a little confused.
"You are great tonight!" he praised.
Xu Ning kissed him twice, "I feel like my hair is still fluttering now. It's really inconvenient to take a bath here!"
She's so slimy and wet, she won't be able to sleep peacefully without taking a bath.
Xie Zheng turned over and put his wife on the bed. He picked up the bathrobe beside the kang and put it on, "Wait, I'll bring you water and take a bath."
"Oh, thank you dear!"
After staying here for three days, Xie Zheng and his wife said goodbye to Xu Guodong's family, and together with Zhou Tao, they left this small village that people will miss infinitely.
Like it, it doesn't have to be possessed, and it doesn't have to be in front of you at all times. Like it can be a kind of nostalgia, a memory.
Just like Xiangshan Village, there are memories of the two from their childhood. The memories are beautiful, painful, regretful, and reunited.
They like it here. After all, this is the root, but they don't have to stay in this small mountain village all the time. No matter where they go, this land is always stored in the deepest part of their hearts.
The village drifted farther and farther away, and soon disappeared behind him.
Before leaving, Xu Guodong packed a lot of things for them, all of which were for food. Although they are not able to use them at home, they will inevitably feel uncomfortable if they refuse. Of course, they will not be wasted when they take them home. There are also some peanuts, which are full. Probably the pick was given to them.
Xu Ning wrapped a red envelope for Xu Xiangping. She would definitely not be able to come back when she got married. The red envelope was not too much, more than six thousand yuan, but when the red envelope was given, the two sides made a joke.
At that time, the red envelope was given to Xu Xiangping by the couple. The girl stood shyly behind her mother, but refused to reach out.
Upon seeing this, Xu Guodong pushed the red envelope back, "What kind of red envelopes are you giving? The family is now in good condition and there is money left, so you don't need to give it."
"Then you don't accept red envelopes, and we don't want your things!" Xie Zheng said half-jokingly.
Xu Guodong was stunned for three seconds when he heard it, and then he prepared to take his things out of the trunk.
"Tell me about you. If you don't accept it, you don't want things. Our family's things are only worth a few dollars. You directly gave such a thick red envelope. How can we accept it? If not, we will take it back."
Xie Zheng was rarely stunned by Xu Guodong's actions. This guy played his cards completely unreasonably.
He stepped forward, held his hand, and stuffed the red envelope into his hand, “I’m an elder anyway, and we had good friendships when we were young, and our niece is about to get married. We will most likely not be able to come back by that time, so we can add auspicious celebration to the child. You still refuse. When you were young, it seemed that your personality was not like this. How come the bigger the more straightforward!"
"What kind of rectum, you give it three to five hundred, see if I can accept it, look at this red envelope, let's talk for a few days, we haven't done anything, you give so much, who dares to accept it."
Xu Ning looked at the two of them on the bar, and smiled: "In these years, your family has helped us take care of the house, and we can live in it directly after a few years. This is not a friendship. The significance of this is extraordinary, we are grateful, and this is for Xiang Ping, not for you, you two can't get ignorant."
Hearing what Xu Ning said, the couple was really embarrassed to refuse again, so as not to continue to make a red face. People Xie Zheng and his wife are leaving today, so don't leave a bad impression on others.
"Then I will accept it, Xiang Ping, thank you uncle and aunt."
Xu Xiangping came forward, blushing and thanked the two of them.
In retrospect, I saw that the distance had passed the county seat, and I was about to enter the expressway from here soon.
"When I was planning to come back, I went to town to visit the high school teacher." Xu Ning said softly.
Ye Ling looked at her, "Why didn't you go? If you want to go, you can go and have a look. Anyway, it's not far away. I drove for less than half an hour."
"The teacher in my graduating class passed away a few years ago, with advanced lung cancer."
"You're not young anymore, right?"
"Well, it's been more than 80 years since I passed away. I still learned from a classmate. I haven't talked about the senior high school teacher before. I occasionally said that I wanted to come back to visit, but the result is no longer there."
"Your graduating class teacher sounds like a very good teacher, otherwise there is nothing to make you miss."
"It’s pretty good to me. After all, I was a high school student at that time. Every time I took the exam, I was the first one!" Xu Ning smiled unhumbly. In consideration, if you can pass the test, your life will change drastically. Nowadays, some teachers only fight for performance. How many good students are tested has a great influence on their evaluation or bonus."
"No matter how much bonus it is, I never thought about teaching high school graduating class. It's really not easy to take!" Ye Ling unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and drank a sip of water. The lecturer is relatively relaxed, close to home, and convenient to go back and forth."
"Zhou Tao's profession can be away from home for several days in a situation. If even you are busy, Ziheng will really be lonely."
"He didn't know what loneliness was, so he entered the third year of high school. Because of his intense studies, he got a lot of money. Before, he often didn't have a family. I was the loneliest one." Ye Ling complained.
Zhou Tao glanced at his wife through the rearview mirror, "I need it for work!"
"I know, I didn't stop you." Ye Ling understands her husband's work. The reason why she liked Zhou Tao at the beginning was also after she met Zhou Tao. She often heard Zhou Tao talk about archeological matters. She is very familiar with ancient Chinese history. I was interested. When I was in college, I often soaked in the library to read historical records and historical books of various dynasties. However, although I read a lot, I didn’t know as much as Zhou Tao. She was attracted by Zhou Tao because of the increased number of contacts. Married him.
Occasionally there will be two complaints, but Zhou Tao will not be annoying. After all, she often pulls Zhou Tao to discuss the affairs of emperors of various dynasties and generations. Zhou Tao is also happy to talk about this with his wife. The two have a lot of common topics. , I’ve been talking about it for almost 20 years, and it’s not too annoying.
"What do you plan to do when you go back to work on National Day?"
"The research institute still has some work. The collections in the museum will also be inspected and maintained regularly. There are still many piles of funerary objects that need to be repaired. Are there any things going out now? It's all meticulous work."
Xie Zheng laughed and said: "When you were young, it was really hard to imagine that you could actually do meticulous work, and you could play basketball with a little free time. In your forties, when you are in the prime of life, you have a beer belly. This is not okay."
"You think everyone is the same as you. You are still in your forties? You are almost ready to order. It's so good to meet to save me a little face and clean up a little. If you are like this, I will still be willing to meet with you in the future? Not counted, right?"
After that, he sighed again, "Years make people grow old, think about it, I was a handsome young man, not worse than my son, and now I am an old man who is about to die. I feel sore when I think about it. I really want to wait. Back in time."
"It's no wonder that the ancient emperors wanted to live forever. They were the emperors over tens of thousands of people. He was in control of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Naturally, he wanted to live for a long time and enjoy the fortune of the country forever. Even ordinary people like you think about it. Back in time, they pursue longevity and understanding."
It was half past one in the afternoon when they arrived in Jiangcheng, and the plane of the two of them was more than six o'clock, so they were not in a hurry to go to the airport.
Everyone came to Zhou Tao's house, simply cooked something to eat, and took a break in his guest room by the way.
Sleeping until almost four o'clock, Zhou Tao drove the two of them to the airport. It only takes an hour to get to the airport from here, without delay.
Before leaving, Xie Zheng wanted to give them some things. However, Zhou Tao brought a lot of things back from his hometown. They didn't need them at all, but they had no choice but to carry large bags and small bags into the airport lobby.
At this time, it is naturally inconvenient to stuff things into the space, and it is easy to be seen by people. You can only check all the things and send them to the old lady's house after returning to the imperial capital.
"If you have time to take your family to the imperial capital, there is also a place to live there."
Zhou Tao nodded, "Definitely go. When the children will have summer vacation next year, I will take time to take them over and see the house your mother-in-law gave you."
Xu Ning was embarrassed, this guy has not forgotten that.
Immediately going to the security check, the two big men gave a hug and patted each other on the shoulders to say goodbye.
"We're gone, you go back, pay attention to safety on the way."
"I know, call home to report that you are safe." Zhou Tao waved his hand and watched the two pass the security check before leaving the airport with his trouser pockets in his pockets.
After getting on the plane, Xu Ning called the family and told them to get home tonight and leave the meal at home, and then the phone was turned off.
In the Xu family’s old house, when the family had just started eating, Qin Xuejuan received a call from her daughter and learned that the couple had just boarded the plane and asked to stay for dinner.
When the old lady heard it, she said, "Otherwise, wait for them both."
"Don't wait!" Xu Jianjun said: "Just get on the plane, it will take at least two and a half hours to get home. When you come back, these dishes will be cold long ago. When you let the kitchen leave, cook two or three dishes and put them in the pot. can."
Qin Xuejuan nodded, she also meant the same, and her daughter only said that she was leaving a meal, and she didn't let the family wait.
Besides, the daughter is not an outsider, and there is not so much attention in the family.
Besides, I called back and said that it was a meal. This is just to say casually. This time I must have given a lot of things there. The two of them have to be sent here. Even if there is no food at home, Xu Ning can make it by himself. , Just call them and tell them that the two are now on the plane, so don't worry about the family.
Food, but secondly, safety is the most important thing.
The old lady loves her grandchildren, and what the two children say is what she considers.
Nowadays, Xu Boyan's children are breast-feeding, and Xu Rui and his wife almost all live here. Both of them have to work during the day. The child stays here for Qin Xuejuan and his wife to watch. Fortunately, the child is so sweet and seldom cries.
But sometimes when he gets sleepy, his grandparents are still teasing around. The little guy will groan and cry when he is upset. The month is light, but the crying is definitely not small.
If an old lady is hired, even Xu Jianjun and his wife, who became grandparents, can get a chat from the old lady.
Knowing that their parents came back today, the three brothers and sisters Xie Yang returned to the room to pack their things after eating. Not surprisingly, they are going home tonight. School will start the day after tomorrow. They will have to prepare at home tomorrow and have dinner at noon. After returning to school early, you can play ball games or bubble the library after you go.
Xie Zheng and his wife arrived at the Imperial Capital Airport at 8 o’clock, then they got married and drove back to the Xu’s old house. It was already past nine o’clock in the evening. When driving at night, Xie Zheng was always careful and the speed was not fast, even though his driving skills have always been very good. , But you can't stand someone coming to hit you, so be careful.
As soon as the engine of the car rang outside, the three children and Xu Rui came out of the house.
Xie Zheng didn't drive the car into the yard. He still had to go back at night. It didn't need to be so troublesome.
"What are you bringing?" Xu Rui saw the two big snakeskin bags behind, thinking that his sister and brother-in-law were carrying them in and out of the airport, and laughed loudly, "No one is staring at you at the airport. Bar?"
"Just look at it. Is there anything shameful about this?" Xu Ning slapped her brother on the shoulder. "Move to the house. This one is heavier. There are 20 or 30 kilograms of peanuts in it. It's new this year. Coming down."
"We have peanuts in the grain shop over here in the morning market, and you still bring some back!" Xu Rui took one of the snakeskin bags and walked into the house quickly, and Xie Zheng moved the other one behind.
"Mom, what's in it? Little Lemon affectionately held her mother's next door, jumping into the house with Xu Ning.
"They are all the souvenirs from the folks in my hometown. I will copy some peanuts for you to eat at school tomorrow? It's covered with a layer of flour and sugar."
Little Lemon thought for a while, then nodded, "I want it!"
He pulled out his arm and held the girl's shoulder, "Have you reviewed your homework these days?"
"Yes, I like to read and study." The little girl looked up at her mother delicately, her delicate face and lovely smile made her feel bright when she looked at it.
"My little princess is really cute."
"It's your little cutie."
"Yes, mine!"
When they came to the living room, the elders were very happy to see her back.
The old lady glanced at her granddaughter. "Have you two having fun this time?"
"Don't say it, it's very happy." Xu Ning picked up the teacup and poured a glass of water. "The old house was taken care of by Brother Guodong very well. When we were there, there was no dust inside and it was very clean. But the courtyard of our old house It’s a little unsightly inside, and the house can still be sheltered from wind and rain."
After drinking a glass of water, she said to the old man: "Grandpa's old house has also been seen. There are a lot of vegetables planted in the courtyard. When Xie Zheng and I went to look at it, there were spinach and green onions. These three courtyards It’s all Guo Dongge's help with cooking, and they are very dedicated."
The old lady was obviously in a good mood, "Guodong's child is a deliberate. When he was a child, he looked like a leather monkey, but now he can handle it."
"His daughter will get married next spring and gave her a red envelope when she left."
"It should be, and they are not obliged to take care of the old house for us, and they also tidy up so well." The old lady is actually very stingy, but she is not stingy about everything. She knows this kind of thing clearly in her heart.
For example, the younger generations of Yu's family who are not righteous, she will not wait to see her, and will not give a penny.
If Xu Guodong's daughter got married, it should be given.
After that, I asked what Xu Xiangping was looking for, and Xie Zheng and Xu Rui also came in with food.
"Sister, let's eat first."
"Come here!" She said to the old lady: "Brother Guodong gave some peanuts and many other things. We won't take them all home. I will leave them to you. I will only take two. Three catties of peanuts will do."
After dinner, Xu Rui went to the kitchen to clean up. Xu Ning chatted with the elders in the family for a while, and it was time for their family to go back.
In mid-October, the China TV Media Awards Ceremony was held in the Imperial Capital.
As one of the sponsors of one of the parties, Diyi Group was invited to attend the conference. Because there was time on that day, she did not refuse. She hadn't been to that kind of occasion for a long time, and she did not reject it.
As the annual awards ceremony of China’s most important TV field, the selection of its TV series is also relatively strict, and generally tends to the mainstream. Nowadays, the fantasy drama Tiandao produced by Feihong Entertainment is still in post-production. Naturally, there is no way to participate in the award competition. Even if it is reported, the possibility of receiving the award is very low. And the TV series with the theme of the Republic of China currently being produced by the company has not been finalized, so Feihong Entertainment cannot participate in this year’s awards. Those who are running can only wait until next year.
Xu Ning specifically called Xu Rui and asked him if he had time that day, but Xu Rui had something to go abroad for business.
Brother Zheng didn't expect it. He went to patrol the garrisons in various places a few days ago. Now it seems that she can only attend by herself, not even a male companion.
With three or four days to go before the award ceremony, Lu Kang found Xu Ning.
"Do you have a male companion?"
"...No!" She shook her head.
"It just so happens. Let's attend together. My wife is back to Nancheng to take care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Okay." Xu Ning nodded, "The elderly in the family is in poor health?"
"Well, I'm sick, San Gao, I attended a wedding banquet before, and I drank too much, which caused some symptoms."
They are not celebrities and don’t need to walk the so-called red carpet. This is not a charity dinner. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they have a companion, but since it’s an awards ceremony, you can have a companion and you can also chat. Sitting.
When the day came, Xu Ning set off from the company and Lu Kang in decent dress, and the party opened at the Imperial Workers Stadium.
They came not too early, at least when they came, the stars had already started to walk on the red carpet, and this awards ceremony will also be broadcast live on Imperial TV and kk video.
The two entered the award ceremony site in another announcement. Many people have gathered here, including Yan Yunxi and his wife.
Qin Hong saw Xu Ning in full costume come here elegantly. The men around him were also in black suits, full of the sense of precipitation of time. Although Lu Kang was not as good-looking as Xie Zheng, he had his own unique aura, plus he was an emperor. The vice president of the group, who has been in charge for many years, is full of aura, which makes it impossible to ignore.
"Xu Ning, haven't seen you for a long time!" Qin Hong wore a red one-shoulder dress and swayed. As a former international film queen, now the entertainment director of Feihong, she is more than those stars in the entertainment industry. In order to create a unique charm and attraction, no matter how beautiful the female celebrities in the circle are, how high the attention is, but when she is put together with the other party, Qin Hong can always get most of the attention.
The two gave a hug, and Xu Ning smiled and said, "It's quite early!"
"It's you guys who are late, the red carpet has already started outside, and the front is coming in one after another, let's go in together."
"good!"
The four people entered the award ceremony site together, and their positions were all posted with their own names. As the award ceremony for China’s premier TV drama field, all aspects of the scene were arranged in an orderly manner. The directors and stars who came to the ceremony were extremely behind the scenes. , All communicated with the organizer at the very beginning, so the order in the venue was orderly and there was no mess at all.
After the staff checked the invitation letter, someone was assigned to lead them to their respective positions. Xu Ning is the investor and the position is relatively high. Of course, it is also behind the protagonists. In fact, after seeing the position, Xu Ning still thinks Do it more later.
No way, who makes them the father of the investor!
In front of her, the people sitting in front of her are all celebrities, and they are all dressed in ordinary clothes. Those who can sit in the front must be nominated crews and actors. The front row of Xu Ning is the second-tier, third-tier or even fourth-tier. The line artist, although she may not be able to call her name, but at any rate they are all familiar faces.
At the diagonally opposite position, there is a female celebrity. The dress made Xu Ning whisper in her heart, which must have offended the stylist.
The clothes were made up of a bunch of rags, and the shape of the hair was indescribable.
Even if you are wearing a decent evening dress, with loose hair, or a big wave, you don’t have to worry about being embarrassed. This has to be a protruding look. I have to doubt her company’s intention to use this method to blog the topic, or I really think this is the trend.
The male celebrities present are generally dressed in suits, black, blue, white, etc., and most of them are quite satisfactory, so there is no need to worry about making mistakes.
Stars on the red carpet come in in batches. This is also very particular. Generally, if you are an artist from the same company, you will be able to bring a high-traffic area with only a familiar back. Many of them are with the crew. , There are also seven-to-eighth lines that will rub on the red carpet. The time of rubbing is within a controllable range. The organizers generally don’t make it difficult for the stars. After all, this approach is understandable, but if there is no bottom line, A staff member will come forward and let them come in quickly.
Regardless of the embarrassment in the heart, at least the surface pride is maintained.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the award ceremony officially kicked off.
The opening ceremony is a song sung by Wei Ying, a popular female singer in the music scene. It is also the theme song of the same name for the nine-nominated TV series "The Hourglass" that is live tonight. This TV series is very beautiful, at least Xu Ning can watch all the episodes. It's over. Although they are all on the kk video, there is no fast forward. The TV series is a commercial war theme. It is a commercial war in a pure sense. There is no **** love in it. It is about several families from the 1930s to the reform. The opening today, and then entering the rapid development of the present, the series of reforms and changes experienced, it seems that people feel hearty.
The original author and screenwriter of "Hourglass" is Xu Ning's acquaintance, Gao Jie, the daughter of the chairman of Gaoshen Group, and a classmate of Xu Ning University.
The commercial battle plots in this drama are not her personal experience, but they are all reasonable. In an interview with the magazine, Gao Jie said that these commercial battle plots were all she heard from the older brother of the current president of Gaoshen Group. Yes, many of the plots are also directed by Mr. Gao for her.
The whole novel looks hearty and hearty. It is the best-selling work that ranked first on the Internet last year. Even in the current mainstream social romance environment, it can still stand out proudly.
And she feels that many authors who write online romance novels have also read this novel, because many of the commercial battle plots in the CEO's article have the shadow of "Hourglass" in it.
Since Wei Ying debuted, he has released two best-selling albums, and later became the theme song of no less than 20 or 30 TV series. No matter how low the ratings of the TV series, the theme song sung by Wei Ying can always become popular and become a vocalist. She is an extremely wide-ranging musical masterpiece, so many TV dramas will invite her to sing. At the same time, because of her wide vocal range, she can control any style of music. She has won awards of all sizes after only six years of debut. A few, but also one of the few Chinese female singers who can be invited to participate in Grammys, and even sing the opening ceremony songs at the Grammy awards ceremony.
At the end of the song, Xu Ning responded with the most sincere applause.
The annual China TV Awards Ceremony is an unprecedented event, and many of China's first-line stars and senior actors will come to participate.
At this time, all the stars active on TV suddenly appeared in front of them, which was a pleasing thing to the eye.
At the same time, I also found that Xu Ning was somewhat disappointed, that is, the beautiful female celebrities on TV or photos at this time seemed to be covered with makeup remover in front of her eyes, all of them were exposed, and of course they could hold it. The scene is not without, but limited.
Many female stars who have been praised by the media for their skin and facial features have frozen age. They make people feel that they are wearing a magic mirror. easy.
The judges invited by the organizer are all domestic heavyweights, and the fairness of the awards is unquestionable. As time goes by, the major awards have gradually fallen into the pockets of the nominators.
In the kk video, the audience who followed this awards ceremony throughout the whole process also expressed their opinions. Most of them were convinced of the attribution of this award. There were only a few fans of traffic stars. Because they did not win the award, they said that there are inside stories and so on in the yin and yang. These are all small waves, which can't be churn.
The award ceremony ended with a dinner. As the investor’s father, Xu Ning was naturally invited by the organizer. Now that she has come, she has no plans to retreat. After all, in this position, there are many things that you don’t like in your heart. , You have to do it and persevere, no matter how awesome the character is, it is difficult to do anything as you please.
"Xu Ning, you are amazing now, you are actually an investor." Gao Jie saw Xu Ning, came over with a red wine glass, and touched her slightly.
Xu Ning raised her wine glass for a moment, then smiled and said, "Isn't it amazing that I have always been?"
Gao Jie was stunned, and then laughed heartily, "Yes, you have always been amazing, count me wrong."
She sincerely wanted to congratulate Gao Jie, "I haven't congratulated you on winning the prize yet."
"Compared with you, I'm just a little joke, but with this award, my parents can finally change my career."
"They didn't agree before?"
"No, I have always wanted me to join the company. I can't stand that kind of restraint. Most of these years, I have been collecting styles from all over the world. Although the previous novels are also published, the price is not bad, but That’s all. After all, I’m writing mainstream novels, which are not in line with today’s young people. This time the copyright and script adaptation have made some money.”
Xie Zheng put the fish on the side of the table, and then lifted the lid of the pot. The water inside was already boiling, and the hot water was poured into a large iron basin. The chickens and ducks inside would shed hair easily, but the hot water was poured in. After that, the smell came out, and people who were not used to it could really vomit. Fortunately, Xu Ning and Ye Ling were not that squeamish, and Wang Xiuying's mother and daughter didn't even care. Every year during the Chinese New Year, their mother and daughter took care of themselves. Chicken and duck."In the future, when a lemon marries, you must first examine the other's morality and temperament. If it is good, I will not ask for a bride price. If it is not good, I will not let you marry. Daughter, I really don't have to marry my daughter. She is a priceless treasure in my heart. I dare to buy it. Can you afford it?""That's not wrong at all. Although I don't have a daughter, I agree with you."Xie Zheng glanced at Zhou Tao sideways, "You will come to the house after your daughter-in-law, don't you want to pay a penny?""Out, of course, I buy houses and cars, but I mean let Ziheng make money on my own. Getting married still counts on me and his mother. Why are we so tired? Raise him and send him to society. He has to prepare a car and house for him, and it hurts to think about it.""This is not a very common thing.""How common?" Zhou Tao did not agree with this point of view. "You bought your own house, right? Our house is also earned by me and Ye Ling, but I am not tired of the parents of the two families. How come our next generation? For children of China, they have to prepare a car and a house for them? If you don't have money, you will get married later, and if you have enough money, you will marry a wife."Xie Zheng's expression was indifferent, "The house we live in was given by mother-in-law.""..." Brother Dei, is it heartbroken?The two quickly went out with a large basin.Regarding the issue of the bride price, it can be regarded as a stop here. This kind of thing is a matter for the person concerned and his family. There is a family situation, and the situation is different. Naturally, it must be treated differently.However, many parents have good face. This family says that their daughters get married and the other party gives 10,000 yuan as a gift. When you hear it in your heart, you think that when your daughter gets married, you have to be a little bit more than this family.You are a little more, I am a little more, and the price of the bride price has been stacked higher and higher, to the point where many families cannot afford it in the later period.Of course, for some people in poverty-stricken areas, marrying a daughter is really disagreeable. If you save a little when your daughter gets married, and then bring it back to your daughter, it might not be a happy thing for both parties, but many families have more children. They were all used by their daughters to marry their sons and daughters-in-law. Maybe some newlyweds thought it was nothing, but if it was put on Xu Ning, it would be somewhat awkward.It may not be possible to say resentment. After all, it is a sibling. Your parents raised you for a meal and sent you into a new family. Do you still have to watch them work tirelessly for your younger brother's marriage?How difficult it is to marry a daughter-in-law in a poverty-stricken area, you will know if you think about it. First of all, it is difficult to say whether there is a girl who likes to marry in this place. If there is no financial support, it will be difficult to marry a daughter-in-law.It's just a brother's marriage, but it's a form based on the sister's marriage. After you marry, whether your in-laws will give you a good face is only you know.More serious, even as long as the man's family gives a lot of money, no matter what the other's character is, whether the daughter likes it, he will force his daughter to marry for the son, which is not groundless.Wang Xiuying looked like a good mother. At least her daughter and her future son-in-law met in free love, and through small talk, she also knew that the few requirements she and her future in-laws made were for the sake of her daughter.The bride price is only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. This little money is really not enough for the daughter-in-law to marry the daughter-in-law. Maybe it will not be enough for the son to get married. This little money will be spent long ago, provided that they will keep this little money.The meals needed for noon were all packed, and the three of them started frying in the kitchen.Xie Zheng and Zhou Tao also speeded up their movements, otherwise it would be difficult to catch up.Ye Ling was preparing to make the stuffing for eggplant box and chili box later. Wang Xiuying was washing vegetables at the door of the kitchen, Xiang Ping helped Xu Ning burn the fire, and Xu Ning himself poured the ribs into the pot and boiled first. Add seasonings to it while cooking, remove it after cooking, and stir-fry it in a pot.Several people cook quickly, and the food is ready after about twelve o'clock.It's just this point that Xu Guodong hasn't come over yet.Wang Xiuying asked Xiang Ping to go out and shout, "His dad was called out before dawn in the morning, and he would go to some carts of sand for help."Xu Guodong bought a tractor a few years ago. He usually helps the people in the village to plow the land. When he is free, he helps the four villages and villages. You can also make some money and save it. It's just the money for the farmland. Almost every household in the village owes accounts, and only waits for a piece of money to be settled at the end of the year, every year.After Xiang Ping went out for a long time, he returned with Xu Guodong and two brothers, and soon the family gathered at the dinner table.Anyway, Xie Zheng didn't know how many years he hadn't been sitting on the kang to eat. Cross-legged wouldn't be troublesome to her, but Xu Ning was really uncomfortable. A meal can be uncomfortable all over.At the dinner table, everyone talked about the changes in the village over the years. Regardless of whether the village is still that village, but now every household has spare money, and there are more opportunities to work outside. As long as you are not a lazy person, you can guarantee that you will not die from starvation. Who could think of it when you were young There is still a good day today."Don't talk about eating these vegetables at that time. Every year, energy saving has one or two meat dishes. That is a good life. I remember that at that time, it was your two that had the best conditions in the village. Uncle Xu was in the town government. Go to work, not to mention Xie Zheng. My father was the village head at that time, and there was a supply and marketing agency at home. Life was good, but no matter how good it was, there would be absolutely no such treatment during the Chinese New Year."The people present were all liberated from the big pot of rice and knew that era. From the beginning of Xu Guodong, several of them felt the same."You two looked good when you were young. Sometimes when you go to my supply and marketing agency, there are young girls and boys from the village walking around at the door, just to see you both."Xu Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is there anything else? Why don't I remember at all?""You don't know that!" Xu Guodong laughed, "Although there were also slogans of free love at that time, but among our ten miles and eight villages, some of us are free to love and get married. They are not blind dates, let alone on a blind date. I've done something on the street. I can't wait to be two meters away when I'm going to fall in love."Xie Zheng had been eyeing Xu Ning a long time ago. At that time, Xu Ning was famously beautiful in school. The boys who liked her from middle school to high school. Half of the boys in the school liked her. Fortunately, at that time. The atmosphere is not as open as it is now, otherwise there is still Xie Zheng, and I don't know who will pursue him."Xie Zheng curled his lips, "You really dare to say it.""Why, did Lao Zhou like Xu Ning before?" Ye Ling had a gossip."Hey, I'm really not afraid to go back to the washboard. At that time, I also liked Xu Ning. Unfortunately, Xie Zheng and I were classmates for several years, and we were in the same class in high school. I remember talking to Xie Zheng at the time. , I like Xu Ning, but Xie Zheng told me directly that Xu Ning and I were not suitable. Now I know, I was not sure how to scold me at the time."Since Zhou Tao dared to speak so bluntly, Ye Ling naturally wouldn't take it to heart."Actually, in my opinion, even if you don't have Xie Zheng, you are not doing it!""Well, I found it!" Zhou Tao nodded solemnly, "The average man really can't afford Xu Ning.""Is it that exaggeration?" Xu Ning laughed blankly."But Xie Zheng is not easy. There are also many female classmates who like him. At that time, I remembered that there was a female classmate with a very high hairline. Let me go to that class and squeeze the other party for a big meal, and made them cry. Thinking about it now, it's all black history."Xu Ning turned to look at Xie Zheng next to him, and saw that his expression had not changed at all, "Is there anything else?"The children ate and listened to their elders talking about their childhood. Zhou Ziheng learned that his father still liked Aunt Xu when he was in school. He muttered in his heart that he almost could not be born in this world. His mother is definitely One big hero.The cool breeze is faithful, and the autumn moon is boundless!The countryside in the night is extremely quiet. There is no corporate engine sound that can be heard all night long, and there are insects tweeting everywhere.Xu Ning was lying on Xie Zheng in sweat. The craziness just now made her seem to open a door, letting go of all the shame and shackles.The palm of her hand was groping on her sweaty back, and Xie Zheng's breath was also a little confused."You are great tonight!" he praised.Xu Ning kissed him twice, "I feel like my hair is still fluttering now. It's really inconvenient to take a bath here!"She's so slimy and wet, she won't be able to sleep peacefully without taking a bath.Xie Zheng turned over and put his wife on the bed. He picked up the bathrobe beside the kang and put it on, "Wait, I'll bring you water and take a bath.""Oh, thank you dear!"After staying here for three days, Xie Zheng and his wife said goodbye to Xu Guodong's family, and together with Zhou Tao, they left this small village that people will miss infinitely.Like it, it doesn't have to be possessed, and it doesn't have to be in front of you at all times. Like it can be a kind of nostalgia, a memory.Just like Xiangshan Village, there are memories of the two from their childhood. The memories are beautiful, painful, regretful, and reunited.They like it here. After all, this is the root, but they don't have to stay in this small mountain village all the time. No matter where they go, this land is always stored in the deepest part of their hearts.The village drifted farther and farther away, and soon disappeared behind him.Before leaving, Xu Guodong packed a lot of things for them, all of which were for food. Although they are not able to use them at home, they will inevitably feel uncomfortable if they refuse. Of course, they will not be wasted when they take them home. There are also some peanuts, which are full. Probably the pick was given to them.Xu Ning wrapped a red envelope for Xu Xiangping. She would definitely not be able to come back when she got married. The red envelope was not too much, more than six thousand yuan, but when the red envelope was given, the two sides made a joke.At that time, the red envelope was given to Xu Xiangping by the couple. The girl stood shyly behind her mother, but refused to reach out.Upon seeing this, Xu Guodong pushed the red envelope back, "What kind of red envelopes are you giving? The family is now in good condition and there is money left, so you don't need to give it.""Then you don't accept red envelopes, and we don't want your things!" Xie Zheng said half-jokingly.Xu Guodong was stunned for three seconds when he heard it, and then he prepared to take his things out of the trunk."Tell me about you. If you don't accept it, you don't want things. Our family's things are only worth a few dollars. You directly gave such a thick red envelope. How can we accept it? If not, we will take it back."Xie Zheng was rarely stunned by Xu Guodong's actions. This guy played his cards completely unreasonably.He stepped forward, held his hand, and stuffed the red envelope into his hand, I'm an elder anyway, and we had good friendships when we were young, and our niece is about to get married. We will most likely not be able to come back by that time, so we can add auspicious celebration to the child. You still refuse. When you were young, it seemed that your personality was not like this. How come the bigger the more straightforward!""What kind of rectum, you give it three to five hundred, see if I can accept it, look at this red envelope, let's talk for a few days, we haven't done anything, you give so much, who dares to accept it."Xu Ning looked at the two of them on the bar, and smiled: "In these years, your family has helped us take care of the house, and we can live in it directly after a few years. This is not a friendship. The significance of this is extraordinary, we are grateful, and this is for Xiang Ping, not for you, you two can't get ignorant."Hearing what Xu Ning said, the couple was really embarrassed to refuse again, so as not to continue to make a red face. People Xie Zheng and his wife are leaving today, so don't leave a bad impression on others."Then I will accept it, Xiang Ping, thank you uncle and aunt."Xu Xiangping came forward, blushing and thanked the two of them.In retrospect, I saw that the distance had passed the county seat, and I was about to enter the expressway from here soon."When I was planning to come back, I went to town to visit the high school teacher." Xu Ning said softly.Ye Ling looked at her, "Why didn't you go? If you want to go, you can go and have a look. Anyway, it's not far away. I drove for less than half an hour.""The teacher in my graduating class passed away a few years ago, with advanced lung cancer.""You're not young anymore, right?""Well, it's been more than 80 years since I passed away. I still learned from a classmate. I haven't talked about the senior high school teacher before. I occasionally said that I wanted to come back to visit, but the result is no longer there.""Your graduating class teacher sounds like a very good teacher, otherwise there is nothing to make you miss.""It's pretty good to me. After all, I was a high school student at that time. Every time I took the exam, I was the first one!" Xu Ning smiled unhumbly. In consideration, if you can pass the test, your life will change drastically. Nowadays, some teachers only fight for performance. How many good students are tested has a great influence on their evaluation or bonus.""No matter how much bonus it is, I never thought about teaching high school graduating class. It's really not easy to take!" Ye Ling unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and drank a sip of water. The lecturer is relatively relaxed, close to home, and convenient to go back and forth.""Zhou Tao's profession can be away from home for several days in a situation. If even you are busy, Ziheng will really be lonely.""He didn't know what loneliness was, so he entered the third year of high school. Because of his intense studies, he got a lot of money. Before, he often didn't have a family. I was the loneliest one." Ye Ling complained.Zhou Tao glanced at his wife through the rearview mirror, "I need it for work!""I know, I didn't stop you." Ye Ling understands her husband's work. The reason why she liked Zhou Tao at the beginning was also after she met Zhou Tao. She often heard Zhou Tao talk about archeological matters. She is very familiar with ancient Chinese history. I was interested. When I was in college, I often soaked in the library to read historical records and historical books of various dynasties. However, although I read a lot, I didn't know as much as Zhou Tao. She was attracted by Zhou Tao because of the increased number of contacts. Married him.Occasionally there will be two complaints, but Zhou Tao will not be annoying. After all, she often pulls Zhou Tao to discuss the affairs of emperors of various dynasties and generations. Zhou Tao is also happy to talk about this with his wife. The two have a lot of common topics. , I've been talking about it for almost 20 years, and it's not too annoying."What do you plan to do when you go back to work on National Day?""The research institute still has some work. The collections in the museum will also be inspected and maintained regularly. There are still many piles of funerary objects that need to be repaired. Are there any things going out now? It's all meticulous work."Xie Zheng laughed and said: "When you were young, it was really hard to imagine that you could actually do meticulous work, and you could play basketball with a little free time. In your forties, when you are in the prime of life, you have a beer belly. This is not okay.""You think everyone is the same as you. You are still in your forties? You are almost ready to order. It's so good to meet to save me a little face and clean up a little. If you are like this, I will still be willing to meet with you in the future? Not counted, right?"After that, he sighed again, "Years make people grow old, think about it, I was a handsome young man, not worse than my son, and now I am an old man who is about to die. I feel sore when I think about it. I really want to wait. Back in time.""It's no wonder that the ancient emperors wanted to live forever. They were the emperors over tens of thousands of people. He was in control of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Naturally, he wanted to live for a long time and enjoy the fortune of the country forever. Even ordinary people like you think about it. Back in time, they pursue longevity and understanding."It was half past one in the afternoon when they arrived in Jiangcheng, and the plane of the two of them was more than six o'clock, so they were not in a hurry to go to the airport.Everyone came to Zhou Tao's house, simply cooked something to eat, and took a break in his guest room by the way.Sleeping until almost four o'clock, Zhou Tao drove the two of them to the airport. It only takes an hour to get to the airport from here, without delay.Before leaving, Xie Zheng wanted to give them some things. However, Zhou Tao brought a lot of things back from his hometown. They didn't need them at all, but they had no choice but to carry large bags and small bags into the airport lobby.At this time, it is naturally inconvenient to stuff things into the space, and it is easy to be seen by people. You can only check all the things and send them to the old lady's house after returning to the imperial capital."If you have time to take your family to the imperial capital, there is also a place to live there."Zhou Tao nodded, "Definitely go. When the children will have summer vacation next year, I will take time to take them over and see the house your mother-in-law gave you."Xu Ning was embarrassed, this guy has not forgotten that.Immediately going to the security check, the two big men gave a hug and patted each other on the shoulders to say goodbye."We're gone, you go back, pay attention to safety on the way.""I know, call home to report that you are safe." Zhou Tao waved his hand and watched the two pass the security check before leaving the airport with his trouser pockets in his pockets.After getting on the plane, Xu Ning called the family and told them to get home tonight and leave the meal at home, and then the phone was turned off.In the Xu family's old house, when the family had just started eating, Qin Xuejuan received a call from her daughter and learned that the couple had just boarded the plane and asked to stay for dinner.When the old lady heard it, she said, "Otherwise, wait for them both.""Don't wait!" Xu Jianjun said: "Just get on the plane, it will take at least two and a half hours to get home. When you come back, these dishes will be cold long ago. When you let the kitchen leave, cook two or three dishes and put them in the pot. can."Qin Xuejuan nodded, she also meant the same, and her daughter only said that she was leaving a meal, and she didn't let the family wait.Besides, the daughter is not an outsider, and there is not so much attention in the family.Besides, I called back and said that it was a meal. This is just to say casually. This time I must have given a lot of things there. The two of them have to be sent here. Even if there is no food at home, Xu Ning can make it by himself. , Just call them and tell them that the two are now on the plane, so don't worry about the family.Food, but secondly, safety is the most important thing.The old lady loves her grandchildren, and what the two children say is what she considers.Nowadays, Xu Boyan's children are breast-feeding, and Xu Rui and his wife almost all live here. Both of them have to work during the day. The child stays here for Qin Xuejuan and his wife to watch. Fortunately, the child is so sweet and seldom cries.But sometimes when he gets sleepy, his grandparents are still teasing around. The little guy will groan and cry when he is upset. The month is light, but the crying is definitely not small.If an old lady is hired, even Xu Jianjun and his wife, who became grandparents, can get a chat from the old lady.Knowing that their parents came back today, the three brothers and sisters Xie Yang returned to the room to pack their things after eating. Not surprisingly, they are going home tonight. School will start the day after tomorrow. They will have to prepare at home tomorrow and have dinner at noon. After returning to school early, you can play ball games or bubble the library after you go.Xie Zheng and his wife arrived at the Imperial Capital Airport at 8 o'clock, then they got married and drove back to the Xu's old house. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. When driving at night, Xie Zheng was always careful and the speed was not fast, even though his driving skills have always been very good. , But you can't stand someone coming to hit you, so be careful.As soon as the engine of the car rang outside, the three children and Xu Rui came out of the house.Xie Zheng didn't drive the car into the yard. He still had to go back at night. It didn't need to be so troublesome."What are you bringing?" Xu Rui saw the two big snakeskin bags behind, thinking that his sister and brother-in-law were carrying them in and out of the airport, and laughed loudly, "No one is staring at you at the airport. Bar?""Just look at it. Is there anything shameful about this?" Xu Ning slapped her brother on the shoulder. "Move to the house. This one is heavier. There are 20 or 30 kilograms of peanuts in it. It's new this year. Coming down.""We have peanuts in the grain shop over here in the morning market, and you still bring some back!" Xu Rui took one of the snakeskin bags and walked into the house quickly, and Xie Zheng moved the other one behind."Mom, what's in it? Little Lemon affectionately held her mother's next door, jumping into the house with Xu Ning."They are all the souvenirs from the folks in my hometown. I will copy some peanuts for you to eat at school tomorrow? It's covered with a layer of flour and sugar."Little Lemon thought for a while, then nodded, "I want it!"He pulled out his arm and held the girl's shoulder, "Have you reviewed your homework these days?""Yes, I like to read and study." The little girl looked up at her mother delicately, her delicate face and lovely smile made her feel bright when she looked at it."My little princess is really cute.""It's your little cutie.""Yes, mine!"When they came to the living room, the elders were very happy to see her back.The old lady glanced at her granddaughter. "Have you two having fun this time?""Don't say it, it's very happy." Xu Ning picked up the teacup and poured a glass of water. "The old house was taken care of by Brother Guodong very well. When we were there, there was no dust inside and it was very clean. But the courtyard of our old house It's a little unsightly inside, and the house can still be sheltered from wind and rain."After drinking a glass of water, she said to the old man: "Grandpa's old house has also been seen. There are a lot of vegetables planted in the courtyard. When Xie Zheng and I went to look at it, there were spinach and green onions. These three courtyards It's all Guo Dongge's help with cooking, and they are very dedicated."The old lady was obviously in a good mood, "Guodong's child is a deliberate. When he was a child, he looked like a leather monkey, but now he can handle it.""His daughter will get married next spring and gave her a red envelope when she left.""It should be, and they are not obliged to take care of the old house for us, and they also tidy up so well." The old lady is actually very stingy, but she is not stingy about everything. She knows this kind of thing clearly in her heart.For example, the younger generations of Yu's family who are not righteous, she will not wait to see her, and will not give a penny.If Xu Guodong's daughter got married, it should be given.After that, I asked what Xu Xiangping was looking for, and Xie Zheng and Xu Rui also came in with food."Sister, let's eat first.""Come here!" She said to the old lady: "Brother Guodong gave some peanuts and many other things. We won't take them all home. I will leave them to you. I will only take two. Three catties of peanuts will do."After dinner, Xu Rui went to the kitchen to clean up. Xu Ning chatted with the elders in the family for a while, and it was time for their family to go back.In mid-October, the China TV Media Awards Ceremony was held in the Imperial Capital.As one of the sponsors of one of the parties, Diyi Group was invited to attend the conference. Because there was time on that day, she did not refuse. She hadn't been to that kind of occasion for a long time, and she did not reject it.As the annual awards ceremony of China's most important TV field, the selection of its TV series is also relatively strict, and generally tends to the mainstream. Nowadays, the fantasy drama Tiandao produced by Feihong Entertainment is still in post-production. Naturally, there is no way to participate in the award competition. Even if it is reported, the possibility of receiving the award is very low. And the TV series with the theme of the Republic of China currently being produced by the company has not been finalized, so Feihong Entertainment cannot participate in this year's awards. Those who are running can only wait until next year.Xu Ning specifically called Xu Rui and asked him if he had time that day, but Xu Rui had something to go abroad for business.Brother Zheng didn't expect it. He went to patrol the garrisons in various places a few days ago. Now it seems that she can only attend by herself, not even a male companion.With three or four days to go before the award ceremony, Lu Kang found Xu Ning."Do you have a male companion?""...No!" She shook her head."It just so happens. Let's attend together. My wife is back to Nancheng to take care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law.""Okay." Xu Ning nodded, "The elderly in the family is in poor health?""Well, I'm sick, San Gao, I attended a wedding banquet before, and I drank too much, which caused some symptoms."They are not celebrities and don't need to walk the so-called red carpet. This is not a charity dinner. In fact, it doesn't matter whether they have a companion, but since it's an awards ceremony, you can have a companion and you can also chat. Sitting.When the day came, Xu Ning set off from the company and Lu Kang in decent dress, and the party opened at the Imperial Workers Stadium.They came not too early, at least when they came, the stars had already started to walk on the red carpet, and this awards ceremony will also be broadcast live on Imperial TV and kk video.The two entered the award ceremony site in another announcement. Many people have gathered here, including Yan Yunxi and his wife.Qin Hong saw Xu Ning in full costume come here elegantly. The men around him were also in black suits, full of the sense of precipitation of time. Although Lu Kang was not as good-looking as Xie Zheng, he had his own unique aura, plus he was an emperor. The vice president of the group, who has been in charge for many years, is full of aura, which makes it impossible to ignore."Xu Ning, haven't seen you for a long time!" Qin Hong wore a red one-shoulder dress and swayed. As a former international film queen, now the entertainment director of Feihong, she is more than those stars in the entertainment industry. In order to create a unique charm and attraction, no matter how beautiful the female celebrities in the circle are, how high the attention is, but when she is put together with the other party, Qin Hong can always get most of the attention.The two gave a hug, and Xu Ning smiled and said, "It's quite early!""It's you guys who are late, the red carpet has already started outside, and the front is coming in one after another, let's go in together.""good!"The four people entered the award ceremony site together, and their positions were all posted with their own names. As the award ceremony for China's premier TV drama field, all aspects of the scene were arranged in an orderly manner. The directors and stars who came to the ceremony were extremely behind the scenes. , All communicated with the organizer at the very beginning, so the order in the venue was orderly and there was no mess at all.After the staff checked the invitation letter, someone was assigned to lead them to their respective positions. Xu Ning is the investor and the position is relatively high. Of course, it is also behind the protagonists. In fact, after seeing the position, Xu Ning still thinks Do it more later.No way, who makes them the father of the investor!In front of her, the people sitting in front of her are all celebrities, and they are all dressed in ordinary clothes. Those who can sit in the front must be nominated crews and actors. The front row of Xu Ning is the second-tier, third-tier or even fourth-tier. The line artist, although she may not be able to call her name, but at any rate they are all familiar faces.At the diagonally opposite position, there is a female celebrity. The dress made Xu Ning whisper in her heart, which must have offended the stylist.The clothes were made up of a bunch of rags, and the shape of the hair was indescribable.Even if you are wearing a decent evening dress, with loose hair, or a big wave, you don't have to worry about being embarrassed. This has to be a protruding look. I have to doubt her company's intention to use this method to blog the topic, or I really think this is the trend.The male celebrities present are generally dressed in suits, black, blue, white, etc., and most of them are quite satisfactory, so there is no need to worry about making mistakes.Stars on the red carpet come in in batches. This is also very particular. Generally, if you are an artist from the same company, you will be able to bring a high-traffic area with only a familiar back. Many of them are with the crew. , There are also seven-to-eighth lines that will rub on the red carpet. The time of rubbing is within a controllable range. The organizers generally don't make it difficult for the stars. After all, this approach is understandable, but if there is no bottom line, A staff member will come forward and let them come in quickly.Regardless of the embarrassment in the heart, at least the surface pride is maintained.At 5:30 in the afternoon, the award ceremony officially kicked off.The opening ceremony is a song sung by Wei Ying, a popular female singer in the music scene. It is also the theme song of the same name for the nine-nominated TV series "The Hourglass" that is live tonight. This TV series is very beautiful, at least Xu Ning can watch all the episodes. It's over. Although they are all on the kk video, there is no fast forward. The TV series is a commercial war theme. It is a commercial war in a pure sense. There is no **** love in it. It is about several families from the 1930s to the reform. The opening today, and then entering the rapid development of the present, the series of reforms and changes experienced, it seems that people feel hearty.The original author and screenwriter of "Hourglass" is Xu Ning's acquaintance, Gao Jie, the daughter of the chairman of Gaoshen Group, and a classmate of Xu Ning University.The commercial battle plots in this drama are not her personal experience, but they are all reasonable. In an interview with the magazine, Gao Jie said that these commercial battle plots were all she heard from the older brother of the current president of Gaoshen Group. Yes, many of the plots are also directed by Mr. Gao for her.The whole novel looks hearty and hearty. It is the best-selling work that ranked first on the Internet last year. Even in the current mainstream social romance environment, it can still stand out proudly.And she feels that many authors who write online romance novels have also read this novel, because many of the commercial battle plots in the CEO's article have the shadow of "Hourglass" in it.Since Wei Ying debuted, he has released two best-selling albums, and later became the theme song of no less than 20 or 30 TV series. No matter how low the ratings of the TV series, the theme song sung by Wei Ying can always become popular and become a vocalist. She is an extremely wide-ranging musical masterpiece, so many TV dramas will invite her to sing. At the same time, because of her wide vocal range, she can control any style of music. She has won awards of all sizes after only six years of debut. A few, but also one of the few Chinese female singers who can be invited to participate in Grammys, and even sing the opening ceremony songs at the Grammy awards ceremony.At the end of the song, Xu Ning responded with the most sincere applause.The annual China TV Awards Ceremony is an unprecedented event, and many of China's first-line stars and senior actors will come to participate.At this time, all the stars active on TV suddenly appeared in front of them, which was a pleasing thing to the eye.At the same time, I also found that Xu Ning was somewhat disappointed, that is, the beautiful female celebrities on TV or photos at this time seemed to be covered with makeup remover in front of her eyes, all of them were exposed, and of course they could hold it. The scene is not without, but limited.Many female stars who have been praised by the media for their skin and facial features have frozen age. They make people feel that they are wearing a magic mirror. easy.The judges invited by the organizer are all domestic heavyweights, and the fairness of the awards is unquestionable. As time goes by, the major awards have gradually fallen into the pockets of the nominators.In the kk video, the audience who followed this awards ceremony throughout the whole process also expressed their opinions. Most of them were convinced of the attribution of this award. There were only a few fans of traffic stars. Because they did not win the award, they said that there are inside stories and so on in the yin and yang. These are all small waves, which can't be churn.The award ceremony ended with a dinner. As the investor's father, Xu Ning was naturally invited by the organizer. Now that she has come, she has no plans to retreat. After all, in this position, there are many things that you don't like in your heart. , You have to do it and persevere, no matter how awesome the character is, it is difficult to do anything as you please."Xu Ning, you are amazing now, you are actually an investor." Gao Jie saw Xu Ning, came over with a red wine glass, and touched her slightly.Xu Ning raised her wine glass for a moment, then smiled and said, "Isn't it amazing that I have always been?"Gao Jie was stunned, and then laughed heartily, "Yes, you have always been amazing, count me wrong."She sincerely wanted to congratulate Gao Jie, "I haven't congratulated you on winning the prize yet.""Compared with you, I'm just a little joke, but with this award, my parents can finally change my career.""They didn't agree before?""No, I have always wanted me to join the company. I can't stand that kind of restraint. Most of these years, I have been collecting styles from all over the world. Although the previous novels are also published, the price is not bad, but That's all. After all, I'm writing mainstream novels, which are not in line with today's young people. This time the copyright and script adaptation have made some money.
