1980 My literary era

The 1980s was an era of strong human relationships. Whether in cities or rural areas, everyone was used to eating from a big pot, and their social circles were only so large, all based on decades of friendship.

The visit of the Tao family's future son-in-law, who is also a famous writer throughout the country, ignited the enthusiasm of many neighbors in the factory's courtyard.

Regardless of whether you are familiar with it or not, after dinner in the evening, you have to come over to take a look at the great writer. Even the Spring Festival Gala cannot stop this enthusiasm.

Fortunately, there are only about 1,800 people in the family home. Except for the familiar neighbors, most of them just came to see what was new and saw what the great writer looked like. Seeing that there was nothing special, they left.

It's easier to deal with the neighbors you know well, just chat with them for a while and then drive them away.

"It's the New Year's Eve. The child has just come back and hasn't had much rest yet!"

Tao's mother rudely kicked these neighbors away again, and no one was surprised. Before she left, she was still discussing Lin Weimin.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the Tao family finally became quiet. The family chatted and watched the Spring Festival Gala.

This year's Spring Festival Gala program was mediocre, with nothing worthy of praise. The only highlight in the sketch program was "The Dog Boy and the Black Girl" performed by Chen Xiaoer and Xiao Xiangyu. Without Zhu Shimao as his partner, Chen Xiaoer's laughter would not be as good. Not so smart anymore.

Crosstalk programs have almost become a hodgepodge, with six or seven people doing group crosstalk at every turn. Not only does it look chaotic, but it also has little baggage.

There are some good songs, such as "Missing" sung by Mao Amin, "Naruwan Love Song" sung by Wan Shalang, and "Descendants of the Dragon" sung by Hou Dejian.

It was just after midnight when "Descendants of the Dragon" came on, which was when every household outside was rushing to open the door.

Father Tao came back from outside after setting off the firecrackers. He only listened to the last few bars, but his blood boiled with excitement. "This song is well written!"

Lin Weimin watched TV and yawned continuously.

Except when he was concentrating on writing, he rarely stayed up late.

Mother Tao said thoughtfully: "For the people, if you are sleepy, go to bed first."

"Auntie, it's okay, I'm not sleepy."

This was a bit against his will, Tao Huimin playfully scratched the palm of his hand.

Lin Weimin sobered up a lot and squeezed her hand lightly.

After more than twenty minutes, this year's Spring Festival Gala officially ended, and there were no TV programs to watch.

Tao Huimin was looking for new clothes. She picked out the clothes to bring to her parents from a pile of new year's goods.

"These suits and dresses were brought back from France for the people. You should quickly check them out."

Tao Huimin urged her parents to go to another room to change clothes. After a while, the two of them put on new clothes and came out.

Lin Weimin specifically asked Tao Huimin about her parents' clothing sizes. The clothes fit her very well. As the saying goes, a person relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. After putting on new clothes, Tao's father and Tao's mother's temperament changed drastically, and even their complexions looked better. few.

"Aren't these clothes expensive?" Mrs. Tao touched the skirt on her body and said a little cautiously.

When Lin Weimin was choosing clothes, he asked a shopping guide to help him choose. The dark green velvet dress was very suitable for Tao's mother's age. It exuded a sense of elegance and elegance, which made her who was used to wearing simple clothes a little uncomfortable.

Tao's father behaved similarly to Tao's mother, wearing a suit and touching around.

"Not much money."

Tao Huimin didn't tell the truth. The clothes were actually not cheap. When converted into RMB, they cost two to three thousand yuan.

"Dad, Mom, it's so beautiful!" Tao Huimin looked at her parents' clothes and said, "Don't move yet!"

She got up, rummaged in her bag, and took out her camera, "Let's take a family photo."

The camera was bought at the Friendship Store just to take pictures when I went home this time.

Lin Weimin finished taking photos of Tao Huimin's family of three. Tao's father asked him to take photos with him, but found that no one was taking photos.

"Let's find someone to find one for us tomorrow morning." Lin Weimin said.

"No need, I'll call someone."

Father Tao said something and went out. Within two minutes, he called a neighbor who knew how to use a camera.

At this time, every household is watching the New Year's Eve, and they don't worry about disturbing everyone's dreams.

With the help of neighbors, Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin left a family photo.

After taking the photo, Tao Huimin held the camera and smiled brightly, telling Lin Weimin that this photo must be developed.

When the time was approaching one o'clock, Tao's mother urged Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin to go into the house and go to bed.

The two of them had been traveling for several days and hadn't slept since they came back. They had to get up early to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow.

The sound of firecrackers outside came from time to time, and the two slept in their clothes.

As I stared blankly, I heard the sound of firecrackers outside getting louder again. When I got up, I saw that it was already half past five.

It's not yet dawn outside, but the corridors of Tongzi Building are already noisy. Every household is making breakfast. Those who have eaten early are already preparing to go out to pay New Year greetings. From time to time, they say "Happy New Year" when passing by.

We eat New Year’s Eve dinner on the 30th and leftovers on the first day of the Lunar New Year. This is always the case during the Chinese New Year.

After breakfast, Tao's father and Tao's mother took Tao Huimin and Lin Weimin to pay New Year's greetings.

Tao's mother's family is from Ruian County, and her father is from the countryside. Today, I went to Grandma Tao Huimin's house to pay New Year's greetings.

These days, you have to walk or ride a bicycle when going out to pay New Year greetings.

The Tao family only had one bicycle, but there were four people there. Tao's father had to borrow another one. Tao's father took Tao's mother, and Lin Weimin took Tao Huimin.

Tao Huimin's grandma's family lives near the old wharf. Uncle Tao Huimin's family and her grandma live in a two-story old-fashioned house.

Father Tao and Mother Tao led Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin through the door, like a pair of golden boys and girls. Seeing this, Grandma Tao Huimin beamed with joy and asked, "When are you getting married?"

After asking this question, Tao's father and Tao's mother remained silent. Tao Huimin looked at Lin Weimin and said with a smile: "Grandma, Huimin is still filming a movie. We plan to wait until she finishes filming before getting married."

Grandma nodded. She knew that her granddaughter was making movies and now she was a star.

"Why did the filming of your movie take so long? Can't you tell your work unit to get married first?"

Grandma's words made everyone laugh, and Tao Huimin also laughed and said: "Grandma, the movie will be finished next year."

"So slow!" Grandma said dissatisfied.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Uncle Tao Huimin said to her mother: "Huimin's boyfriend is great. He is a great writer. He was on "News Network" some time ago."

After entering the door, Tao's father and Tao's mother learned from yesterday's lesson and made a grand introduction to Lin Weimin, saving them from being questioned by everyone.

Grandma Tao Huimin laughed even more happily when she heard this, "Okay, he is a good writer, a cultured person, and knowledgeable!"

While Tao Huimin was coaxing her grandmother, Aunt Tao Huimin pulled Tao's mother and watched her non-stop.

"This dress is really nice. Huimin bought it for you, right?"

Tao's mother smiled and said: "It was brought back from France for the people, and the same thing is on Old Tao's body."

Tao Huimin's cousin-in-law exclaimed when she heard this: "Brought back from France? No wonder it looks so good. It's not cheap, right?"

"Not much money." Mother Tao said, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

The clothes are beautiful, but what makes her even more happy and proud is that her daughter has a bright future.

Auntie and cousin-in-law chattered around Mother Tao.

My uncle's family has three children. The eldest cousin has married and separated, the second cousin works in a textile factory in the county, and the younger cousin is still in high school.

My eldest cousin's family and Tao Huimin's family walked in front and back.

Except for a few women who were discussing clothes, almost everyone focused on Lin Weimin.

The little cousin who was in high school was the most attentive, asking questions around Lin Weimin.

"Brother-in-law..."

Before he could speak, he was hit by his sister, "Call me Brother Min!"

The cousin changed his mind and said, "Brother Weimin, I have read a lot of your novels. Many classmates in our class also like your novels. Many of us write poems and novels. Can I contribute to your magazine?"

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "Of course you can, but you may not be hired."

"Isn't it okay with you as the editor-in-chief?"

Tao Huimin said: "Are you just a magazine? With people like you, how can we still run a magazine? Does anyone read it?"

Even after being scolded a few times, my little cousin wasn't angry.

With Lin Weimin, the future brother-in-law of a great writer, he had something to brag about this time he started school. Thinking of the envious expressions on his classmates' faces, he couldn't help but feel proud.

After staying at his uncle's house for two or three hours, Lin Weimin followed Tao Huimin's family back to the family home.

The old man in Tao's father's family is gone. He still has a younger brother and a younger sister, both of whom are in the countryside. There is no reason for him, the eldest brother, to go and pay New Year greetings.

Therefore, today’s New Year greetings can be considered to be over.

Back home, after lunch, the whole family caught up on their sleep.

On the afternoon of the first day of the new year, the family courtyard was unusually quiet, as was everyone.

It wasn't until evening that the family home became lively again.

This year, a lot of neighbors and friends came to Tao Huimin's house. The Tao family's celebrity daughter came back, and she also brought back her boyfriend, a great writer, which made the topic hot.

Even many factory leaders came to visit, which made Mr. Tao, an honest and honest employee in the factory, feel very proud.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Tao Huimin dialed the TV set of CCTV.

"Starting in a new TV series?" Tao's mother said while looking at the title of "Desire".

Tao Huimin showed off: "I took this photo for my friends."

Tao's father, Tao's mother, and the neighbors who were guests at home suddenly became serious when they heard this.

The opening song of the TV series was playing, and suddenly someone pointed at the subtitles on the screen and shouted.

"Look! Look!"

The words "Chief Screenwriter: Lin Weimin" flashed, followed by the names of three screenwriters.

"Who is Comrade Xiaolin or the chief screenwriter?" everyone exclaimed.

Lin Weimin said: "I just came up with an idea, they just asked me to name it."

Everyone was even more envious when they heard that it was better to be a great writer, and even TV dramas took the initiative to let his name be mentioned.

Everyone curiously asked about Lin Weimin's TV series, and while chatting, they stopped talking, and their attention was attracted by "Desire".

Before I knew it, two episodes of the TV series were over, and everyone was still interested in watching it.

"This TV series is well done!"

"The things written by writers are better!"

Everyone stayed at Tao's house until almost ten o'clock before dispersing.

The next morning, after breakfast, Tao Huimin had nothing to do. She planned to take Lin Weimin for a walk in Ruian County, but she didn't want anyone to come to visit her. It turned out to be the leaders of Ruian County who came after hearing the news.

The county leaders' visit immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the neighbors in the family home. Many neighbors who heard the news surrounded Tao Huimin's house with water.

Lin Weimin didn't expect that the news would spread so far just two days after arriving in Ruian, and he didn't expect that the county leaders would come to visit him.

He thought that these people came to ask for something and wanted to take advantage of his celebrity effect, so he was a little wary.

But after chatting for a while, he finally figured out that several county leaders were his literary fans, and they came here to ask for autographs.

Lin Weimin couldn't help but signed autographs and took photos with several people. The county leader invited Lin Weimin to visit the county, but he refused.

Several people were rejected and did not feel disappointed at all. The purpose of their trip had been achieved and they left the family home with satisfaction.

The onlookers looked at the backs of the factory leaders as they respectfully sent the county leaders off, and then looked at Lin Weimin, who was sitting firmly in the room.

In the past, everyone just called him a great writer, but had no idea in his heart.

Today I watched the county leaders come to visit, and I watched Lin Weimin sit firmly on Diaoyutai.

Everyone finally understands the value of this "great writer"!
