1979 Golden Age

Evening.

It was dinner time, the tube building was busy, the long corridor was filled with smoke and mixed aromas.

"Sizzle!"

Gong Xue wore an apron and cooked here for the first time. She cooked a simple stir-fried vegetable with hot pan and cold oil. She kept stir-frying until the leaves wilted. She added some salt first, then picked up a small jar and scooped a third of a spoonful of sugar into it.

"Xiao Gong! You put sugar in the vegetables?"

The neighbor happened to see it and yelled, as if he had done something unforgivable. The neighbor was a clothing designer in the factory. Gong Xue smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, I like to eat something sweet."

"You haven't gotten used to it in the north for so many years?"

"I am used to it. I like it even without sugar, but sometimes I add a little."

"Tsk, tsk, I really don't know what it tastes like, vegetables with sugar..."

Teacher Zhang went in shaking his head.

Gong Xue cooked the vegetables, made egg soup, and brought a bowl of rice into the house. She placed it on the newly bought small table and ate the first meal she cooked after moving in.

Her grandfather was from Changzhou and later moved to Shanghai. His eating habits had a great influence on her mother.

Changzhou likes to use distiller's grains, sweet and soy sauce for seasoning. It is good at cooking poultry and seafood, which are strong and sweet, so her mother added sugar so crazily. Gong Xue has been in the north for a long time, so her taste is relatively neutral, and she can eat both sweet and salty.

This room is more than ten square meters. There is a window facing the door. Under the window is a bed, which is larger than a single bed and smaller than a double bed. It is covered with a national bed sheet with a peony pattern.

Next is an old sofa given by Zhang Jinling, with a small coffee table.

Behind the door is a washbasin rack. A set of tables and chairs are placed against the wall at the door, with high books and four treasures of the study. There are several large bags on the ground, all of which are clothes.

"It only needs a large wardrobe and a utility cabinet to be complete..."

Gong Xue ate, washed the dishes, walked around the house with her hands behind her back, and suddenly smiled: "This is my home!"

The factory said that this was a single dormitory assigned to her, but with her current fame, she certainly didn't have anyone break in and occupy the house as a new home when she was out filming.

So this is her home.

Homes these days are actually houses assigned by the unit, and the monthly rent is a few yuan.

After many years of being away from home, Gong Xue finally had a place to live. She was so excited that she couldn't help but walk to the table, mix the ink, and quickly painted a Chinese painting of a magpie climbing a branch. The signature was "Painted by Gong Xue in Beijing in the early spring of the Xinyou Year", in beautiful official script.

In the blink of an eye, it was dark.

She washed her feet, got on the bed, and lay on her own bed with freshness and joy. Under the bed was an enamel spittoon - actually a bedpan for getting up at night, um.

There was only a public toilet in the tube building. Fortunately, she grew up in an alley, and every Shanghai family had a toilet, so she was used to it. So it was very simple to screen time travelers these days. Just let him empty the urinal! Let him wipe his butt with dirt!

"Ah...ah..."

Gong Xue was almost asleep when she heard a faint moan. She listened carefully and found that there was indeed a sound, as if it came from all directions.

The woman was shouting in repression, happy and crying.

"Ah, come here, my mother!"

Gong Xue's eyes widened. Her first reaction was Teacher Zhang. It was impossible to think about it. Teacher Zhang was over 50 years old. That was another young couple who lived next door, both ordinary workers in the factory.

She thought it would be over in a while, but the woman shouted more and more wildly, ah, the louder she shouted.

The charming moan seemed to penetrate the wall. Somehow, she also felt hot. She had to curl up and hold the corner of the quilt tightly. Something suddenly occurred to her head. Her body curled up more and more, and she also had an inexplicable desire to move. However, this impulse was soon interrupted by the knock on the door. It was Teacher Zhang's voice: "What time is it? You don't sleep, and we older people are still sleeping. Otherwise, you can use the quilt to nail the wall to block it..." The surroundings became quiet. Can nailing the quilt to the wall block the sound? Gong Xue learned strange knowledge. She suddenly felt embarrassed. Oh my God, do I have to do this in the future? That would be so embarrassing! Of course, she didn't know that in history, she won the double best actress award with "Under the Bridge". The Shanghai Film Studio specially allocated her a house. Well, it was the Shanghai Film Village with a flush toilet. Chen Qi continued to rest and cooperated with the official propaganda and made a report. He knew that the superiors must be studying his own affairs and was not in a hurry. That day, Director Yang Jie came to me and brought me good news.

"Judge Bao is about to start filming!"

"Really? Are all the crew members here?"

"Yes, they are all here. They are staying in the guesthouse. I asked them to have a centralized training and invited experts in Song Dynasty history to give lectures. We can't be careless. The filming will start in ten days. I'm asking you for a favor. Can you lend us the studio?"

"You should ask your supervisor. I don't have the final say."

"Oh, everyone knows that you are a big star now. You wrote this play."

Yang Jie is a bit of a scoundrel, but she has no choice. TV dramas have just started and there are no conditions. For example, "Desire" rented two basketball courts and built a tent to shoot by themselves. "Journey to the West" is even more powerful. The scene was built directly on the stage of CCTV studio.

"Then let me tell you. I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not!"

Chen Qi took advantage of the favor and asked again: "By the way, who is the candidate for Bao Zheng?"

"Lipo from the Bayi Film Studio, who once served in the Eighth Route Army, has filmed "The Hui Muslim Detachment", "Red Sun", and "Lin Hai Xue Yuan", and is very experienced. Moreover, he has a fat face and big ears, and he looks intimidating without being angry, and the effect of the costume test is particularly good."

Puff!

Chen Qi died of laughter on the spot.

Lipo is the voice actor of Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West" and Dong Zhuo in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He was already old when the filming of the Three Kingdoms, and his face was full of wrinkles, but now he still has meat.

When I think of Bao Da Ren being passionate and upright in the front, and Zhang Guangbei watching him covetously in the back, it has become an art at this moment...

Yang Jie has the final say in "Judge Bao", and he is too lazy to participate too much, so he can just leave Li Jianqun behind.

...

Two days later, it was Women's Day on March 8th.

Gong Xue received a bunch of tea mugs, towels, shampoo cream and other things. "Tai Chi" has not yet been released in China, but she was specially awarded a certificate and a bonus of 100 yuan for her contribution to foreign exchange.

That's right, 100 yuan.

It's already a lot!

Chen Qi accompanied her to order a large wardrobe. They found a cooperative of educated youths who specialized in furniture. The wood was used by Chen Qi to build houses and make furniture. Gong Xue paid 45 yuan for the processing fee.

"I heard that they can earn more than 90 yuan a month at most. They are very famous in the cooperative and the orders are scheduled until the end of the year."

"Yes, if it weren't for Aunt Wang, we wouldn't have a turn. But the wardrobe you want is too big. There is no other space in your room. How about a smaller one?"

"No, I like a big wardrobe! I have more and more clothes. How can I live without a big wardrobe?"

Gong Xue was willful. She didn't need anyone to teach her. After becoming a movie star, she paid attention to dressing up and learned makeup. This fragmented life made her happy and felt that the years were peaceful.

Unfortunately, the peaceful days were always short. Just when they ordered the wardrobe and returned to the Beijing Film Studio, Chen Qi was called away again.

"Why did you come back just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Mr. Liao is looking for you!"

"Now?"

"Yes, I'll leave right away!"

"You go back first..."

Chen Qi waved at Gong Xue and followed the man. Gong Xue looked at his back and the feeling of "not being able to catch up" came back. She didn't know where the limit of this little man was and to what extent it would develop.
