1980 My literary era

On the evening of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, it was past five o'clock in the evening when the crew finished work. Tao Huimin went to drive, and Concubine He Sai and Liu Xiaoqing also got in her car.

Tao Huimin and Lin Weimin are going to take a train back to their hometown in Wenzhou tonight. He Saifei is also from Zhijiang and her family is in Zhoushan, so they are traveling the same way as her. Liu Xiaoqing said in the afternoon that she wanted to take a ride.

There are hundreds of actors in the cast of "Dream of Red Mansions", and the most famous one is definitely Liu Xiaoqing. She usually acts vigorously and resolutely on the set, and she has a bit of a big-sister vibe.

But she was always very polite to Tao Huimin in the crew. She knew the relationship between Tao Huimin and Lin Weimin clearly, and Liu Xiaoqing even visited her at home.

"Huimin, Teacher Lin is so kind to you!"

This was the first time for Liu Xiaoqing to ride in Tao Huimin's car. She usually drove her Fiat, but something happened to her car today and she left it at home. The crew who came by taxi almost were late.

In an era when the per capita number of bicycles and a motorcycle is far above the average, a Fiat is something that countless people look up to.

But comparing my Fiat to Tao Huimin's Crown, it was nothing.

"This car was driven by him after he was eliminated." Tao Huimin explained.

Liu Xiaoqing smiled and said: "This car is not a few years old."

Tao Huimin smiled, not knowing how to answer the question.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaoqing changed the subject. "Dream of Red Mansions" has been filming for a year and a half. Except for Tao Huimin, the heroine, who will be filming to the end, many actors have finished filming midway.

Liu Xiaoqing plays Wang Xifeng, and the play will almost end in May next year.

As for He Saifei, who plays Miaoyu, she has less roles. She will be finished if she returns to the set after the Chinese New Year and stays for half a month.

"Time flies so fast. It has been almost two years since the movie was shot." Liu Xiaoqing sighed.

"Yes, next year will be the third year, and this is the first time that a movie has been shot for such a long time." Tao Huimin said.

While chatting casually, Tao Huimin dropped Liu Xiaoqing down at the street corner and drove straight to Yanjing Station, where Lin Weimin was already waiting.

Now in front of the Yanjing Railway Station, it has become more and more like the Spring Festival travel of later generations.

Some people force the passengers who have just left the station to chatter, some people carry loudspeakers and shout, and some people wave banners in front of the passengers. These are all trying to persuade the passengers to stay in hotels or take taxis.

The radio at the train station was playing advertising songs and lines, and there was a huge flow of people, making it a busy and messy scene.

A few people had a bite to eat first, and then got on the train after eight o'clock in the evening.

Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin bought a high-end soft sleeper, which happened to be two people sharing a room. They separated from He Saifei after getting in the car.

The journey lasted more than thirty hours, and the cleanliness and comfort of the high-end soft sleeper made the journey much easier for the two of them.

However, the journey from getting off the train to home was not easy. Tao Huimin's home was in Ruian County, below Wenzhou. She took a bus back and waited all night. By the time she arrived at Tao Huimin's hometown, it was already the afternoon of New Year's Eve.

When she came out of the East Gate Bus Station in Ruian County, she immediately saw Tao's mother waiting there. Tao Huimin ran over excitedly and introduced Lin Weimin to her mother.

"I've seen him on TV, he looks really energetic!" Tao's mother said with a smile.

"Hello, aunt!"

Facing his future mother-in-law, Lin Weimin turned into that handsome, gentle and polite young man again. Mother Tao responded with a smile on her face: "Okay, okay!"

This was her daughter's boyfriend, a famous writer all over the country. He had won a foreign award not long ago. Mother Tao became more and more satisfied with him, so much so that she ignored her daughter.

Tao Huimin was dissatisfied and pulled her mother's arm. Tao's mother then looked at her daughter. Tao Huimin asked, "Where's my dad?"

"Your dad is cooking at home. I know you are coming back today, but I don't know when. Dad and I took turns waiting at the bus terminal. He is cooking at home right now!"

Tao's mother's words made Lin Weimin feel a little emotional, pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world.

Tao's mother saw Lin Weimin's hands full of things again and said, "There is no shortage of anything at home, how can we use so many things."

Tao Huimin smiled and said, "He insists on buying it. It's his first time visiting!"

Tao Mu laughed heartily, not because of the things, but because of her attitude.

After chatting for a while, they returned to Tao's house.

Tao Huimin's family is in front of Jiefang Road County. His parents are both factory workers and they live in the family building of their workplace.

Tao's mother caused a sensation as soon as she took Tao Huimin and Lin Weimin into the family building area of ​​the factory.

The residents here are both neighbors and colleagues of Tao's parents, and they have been friends for decades.

Tao Huimin became a Yue Opera actor in the first few years. She performed all over the country and even appeared on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. Everyone said that the Tao family's daughter was promising.

But I didn't expect that Tao Huimin would become even more powerful later, and she would actually act in movies and TV series. When "The Biography of a Female Doctor" was broadcast, Tao Huimin's name spread throughout the small town of Ruian County.

In the past two years, Tao Huimin has starred in the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions", and her neighbors also know that. Being able to star in a masterpiece like "Dream of Red Mansions" makes the Tao family's daughter a big star!

Today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion. While the neighbors were cooking, they were still asking Tao's father when Tao Huimin would come back. While they were chatting, Tao's mother led the two of them into the house.

The neighbors had originally focused on the star Tao Huimin, but when they suddenly saw Lin Weimin, a strange and handsome young man, the gossip in their hearts immediately burned brightly.

"Old Tao, is this your future son-in-law?"

The aunt who spoke seemed to be about the same age as Tao's father and Tao's mother. It seemed that they were old friends and she was not polite at all.

"Huimin's boyfriend, Xiao Lin." Tao's mother introduced him with a smile.

Several neighbors looked at Lin Weimin and said, "You are so energetic and talented! What does Xiaolin do?"

Tao Huimin and Lin Weimin had already informed Tao's father and Tao's mother about their relationship, but they had not revealed anything to their relatives and neighbors. The neighbors did not even know that Tao Huimin had a boyfriend, let alone what Lin Weimin did.

"Auntie, I work as an editor in a publishing house."

Lin Weimin saw Tao's father and Tao's mother hesitate, knowing that they were worried, so he answered with a smile.

"Ouch! Editor, cultural person, great! Talented man and beautiful woman!"

After chatting for a while, a wealthy woman on the side said, "Xiao Lin looks familiar."

The others glanced at Lin Weimin after hearing this, "I think they have seen him somewhere."

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "Auntie, you may have seen me on "News Network"."

Everyone laughed, thinking that Lin Weimin was joking, but the rich woman who spoke first clapped her hands.

"Oh no, that's right! You were the great writer on "Xinwen Lianbo", Lin Weimin!"

The rich woman's voice was loud, and her tone of surprise made it even more high-pitched. All other voices were suppressed by her.

Everyone looked at the wealthy woman in surprise, then looked at Lin Weimin again, their expressions full of shock.

"Xiao Lin, do you call me Lin Weimin?" This question was asked by Tao's mother.

Mother Tao glanced at Lin Weimin, and then said, "Yes."

After receiving Tao's mother's affirmative answer, several neighbors were so surprised that they were speechless, and their eyes kept scanning Lin Weimin.

Everyone has heard of Lin Weimin's name before, especially when he won some major foreign award in the past two months. Newspapers, radio stations, and TV stations were all hyped about it, and everyone knew about it.

However, people rarely pay attention to his appearance, mainly because apart from appearing on "News Network" a few times, Lin Weimin has never shown his face in the media.

"Is it really that great writer Lin Weimin?" Several neighbors couldn't help but confirm in surprise.

Lin Weimin was afraid that Tao's father and Tao's mother would be embarrassed, so he said, "Auntie, I just wrote a few novels, not a great writer."

"Ouch!" The neighbors ignored Lin Weimin's words and exclaimed in surprise after confirming his identity.

"What a great writer!"

"I didn't expect Huimin to find such a great boyfriend!"

Neighbors were full of compliments and exclamations, and the scene was a bit chaotic.

After a while, everyone calmed down, and they were still talking about Lin Weimin.

Mother Tao was a little helpless. Seeing that they were in high spirits and had no intention of ending for a while, she could only drag a few of them out.

"That's almost enough. The kid just came back and hasn't sat down to take a sip of water yet. We'll see what's new tomorrow."

Several neighbor aunts heard what Mrs. Tao said and left wisely, but from the looks of it, they definitely couldn't stop talking. It is estimated that in less than ten minutes, the news that Tao Huimin has a boyfriend who is a great writer will spread to the entire family. hospital.

After finally sending away the neighbors who were watching the excitement, Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin were able to rest.

The family building was a very common tube building in this era. The Tao family was allocated two rooms, both bedrooms. The kitchen is on the corridor outside and is shared, as is the toilet.

Tao's father and Tao's mother asked Lin Weimin to rest, but he rolled up his sleeves to help with the work.

It's New Year's Eve dinner time, and the corridor outside is busy, with smoke and fragrance filling the air.

Through the door, Lin Weimin could still hear the voices of the aunts who had just gone out spreading gossip with the neighbors.

"No need for you, no need for you. You two have been traveling for two or three days, so you need to take a rest quickly. You have to stay up late at night."

At the insistence of Tao's father and Tao's mother, Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin took some time off. It was not interesting to stay in the house, so she turned on the TV at home.

In the corridor outside the door, from time to time you can hear the voices of neighbors running over to ask Tao's father and Tao's mother for confirmation.

"Old Tao, I heard that your Huimin has found a boyfriend who is a great writer. Is this true?"

"Old Tao, Old Tao, I heard that my future son-in-law is here? Is it the great writer Lin Weimin?"

Tao's father and Tao's mother were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic neighbors. Tao Huimin laughed out loud in the room, "My parents were right not to let you go out to help."

Lin Weimin ate the snacks prepared for the New Year and said, "The ugly daughter-in-law wants to meet her parents-in-law. As my future son-in-law is here, I also have to meet the neighbors!"

After saying that, he opened the door.

The neighbors who were chatting around Tao's father and Tao's mother saw the tall and handsome young man coming out of Tao's house and immediately realized that this was Tao Huimin's boyfriend. Some of the neighbors had read the news about the Goncourt Literary Award on "Xinwen Lianbo" Lin Weimin was recognized at a glance.

He is really the great writer who appeared on "Xinwen Lianbo"!

"Hello uncles and aunties!" Lin Weimin smiled and greeted all the neighbors.

Everyone immediately abandoned Tao's father and Tao's mother, and turned their attention to Lin Weimin. The two aunts saw too many people and pulled Tao Huimin at the door.

Seeing this, Tao's father and Tao's mother could only smile helplessly.

They had this worry before Lin Weimin came, and the fact was as they expected.

It seems that being too famous is not a good thing.

After Lin Weimin showed up, more neighbors gathered around Tao's door. Everyone wanted to see what the great writer looked like.

Lin Weimin has an easy-going attitude and a relaxed and humorous way of talking. He won the favor of many neighbors in just a few minutes.

"You are truly worthy of being a writer. Look at what others say. It really comes out of your mouth."

"He is a writer who has won a foreign award! He has published so many novels, and my son even bought one of his novels. Lao Tao is so lucky!"

The neighbors around the perimeter couldn't get in a word and could only talk on the sidelines.
