1980 My literary era

The China Youth Education Development Foundation was established less than two months ago, and now and then is a good time to flex its muscles.

Before Zheng Guo's job transfer, he had a long conversation with his father. Zheng's father was very supportive of his decision.

This foundation is a very good springboard for those who are interested in a career.

Zheng Guo didn't have the utilitarian ideas of Zheng's father. He didn't want to work in the foundation for an official career, he just wanted to do something meaningful.

Zheng's father has no objection to this. Zheng Guosheng is low-key and restrained by nature. Due to his work relationship, he has rarely been in the limelight in recent years. Now that he finally wants to make a difference in his career, he naturally supports it.

Lin Weimin asked Zheng Guo to deliver New Year's goods to the homes of the expatriate staff today. To put it bluntly, he was helping Zheng Guo win people's hearts. When he joins the foundation later, he will definitely win the favor of many people.

Zheng Guo understood Lin Weimin's intentions, so he agreed happily.

Lin Weimin went to Wangfujing for a large purchase. In addition to buying things for several young people from the foundation who were on a business trip, he also bought things for himself.

When Tao Huimin came home with large and small packages in the evening, she said happily: "Why didn't you ask me to go shopping with you?"

"One person is enough. There are too many people in the store and it's crowded."

Tao Huimin opened the things one by one and sorted them out, "How can we finish eating so many things?"

"Isn't there Zhuangzhuang and his family? Let them come to our place at thirty."

"Then think about telling them."

On the 28th, Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin went to Dashilar to eat Quanjude. The two hadn't eaten together for a long time, so they came out to satisfy their cravings when they had two days before the Chinese New Year.

I didn't expect that there were so many people that I had to queue up.

After eating, the two of them went shopping in Ruifuxiang. Although there was no shortage of clothes, it was the Chinese New Year after all, so one of them bought new clothes.

Fast forward to New Year's Eve, and Han Zhuangzhuang's family arrived at Shizhu Xiaoyuan early in the morning.

In the past few years, Lin Weimin used to go to Tuanjie Lake Apartment to catch cats during the winter. Since moving to Shizhu, he has gone to Tuanjie Lake less often.

It cost a lot of money to clean up this place. It is extremely comfortable to live in in the winter and the place is spacious.

The little girl from Han Zhuangzhuang's family ran wildly in the yard when she arrived. Han Zhuangzhuang stood under the eaves and sighed: "Uncle, you have a big place, so you can run around as you like."

"It's like your family doesn't have a yard." Lin Weimin said.

"You're so young! I didn't realize it before. Now that I have a child, since I learned to walk and run around the yard every day, I feel more and more that there is not enough space."

"There are only four people in your family, and the courtyard you live in is still too small? Then you might as well change to a three-door house!" Lin Weimin became alert when he said this, "What do you mean?"

Han Zhuangzhuang had an innocent look on his face, "Look at you, you are so mean-spirited. Isn't this just commonplace chatter?"

Lin Weimin stared at him twice, but did not lower his guard.

"You are really getting stingier as you get older!"

If the child hadn't been here, Lin Weimin would have really wanted to kick this kid.

The uncle and nephew were joking, while Han Dingbang, Yin Geli and Tao Huimin were busy over there.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the food must be sumptuous. A few people started preparing at nine o'clock in the morning, had lunch at noon, and then continued preparations in the afternoon. This is probably the standard for a Manchu-Han banquet.

We were busy until about seven o'clock in the evening, and the food was finally served. Everyone was not in a hurry to eat, and sat at the dining table waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to begin.

The Spring Festival Gala is slowly becoming a must-have for New Year's Eve.

The party started at eight o'clock, and everyone watched while eating.

This year Mrs. Zhao Lirong came out and performed in "A Day in the Life of a Heroic Mother".

Tao Huimin is very familiar with the old lady. She played Grandma Liu in the movie version of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Wei Wei sang "Devotion of Love", and this song became the most frequently played golden song at countless charity events in later generations.

This year, Song Dandan partnered with Lei Kesheng in the sketch "Lazy Man Dating". Since Lin Weimin stopped being a screenwriter for the Spring Festival Gala, Han Zhuangzhuang and Liang Guanhua both quit the sketch business and concentrated on acting. Song Dandan returned to the stage after a few years. Spring Festival Gala.

Lin Weimin whispered a few words to Han Dingbang, and Han Dingbang looked at Song Dandan on the TV for a long time.

"This girl doesn't seem to be a peaceful person."

Han Zhuangzhuang didn't need to think about it to know what his uncle had just said to his father, and he looked a little embarrassed. Who is not young and frivolous?

"Geli is better!" Han Dingbang said while looking at Yin Geli who was feeding his granddaughter.

Han Zhuangzhuang deeply agreed with this. Dandan and other things happened many years ago.

Chen Xiaoer and Zhu Shimao's skit was the finale. This year they performed "Pepper Noodles", with the same style as before.

In the past two years, Chen Xiaoer's career has been booming. He has been busy with sketches and movies. He has become a very busy man and cannot see him even once a year.

Han Zhuangzhuang looked at Chen Xiaoer on TV without any envy in his heart. The Spring Festival Gala was a success or a failure. Chen Xiaoer was now stuck in this image on the stage and could no longer get out of it, even if he was acting in a movie. I can only play the role of "second son".

In the past few years of acting in TV series and movies, Han Zhuangzhuang's vision and experience have continued to increase, and he has become much more mature in acting than before.

Especially in October this year, Zhang Yimou won the Best Actor at the Tokyo Film Festival for his outstanding acting skills in "Old Well", which shocked him greatly.

Before the Tokyo Film Festival, Zhang Yimou had already won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor for "Old Well".

A film director can not only act, but he can also win awards for his performances. Not only can he win awards, he can also win grand prizes at international film festivals.

The global influence of the Tokyo Film Festival cannot be compared with the three major ones in Europe, but it is the leading film festival in Asia. Zhang Yimou was able to win the Best Actor Award and his acting skills were recognized. While Han Zhuangzhuang was shocked, he couldn't help but feel... Ashamed.

When it comes to acting, he, a professional actor, is not as good as a director who has never acted before. Han Zhuangzhuang is so excited that he often goes back to Yanying to borrow movies from the screening room when he has nothing to do.

After the New Year, he had to join the cast of "Ben Ming Nian" directed by Xie Fei. This was Han Zhuangzhuang's first major director, and he was feeling very excited.

Although Zhang Yimou has become a great director now, working with him was not the same, so Han Zhuangzhuang did not feel any pressure at that time.

Han Zhuangzhuang chatted with Lin Weimin about his journey this year, and Lin Weimin felt relieved.

After these years of training, Han Zhuangzhuang has gradually become enlightened on the path of acting, and he has not wasted his efforts.

The family chatted while watching TV. After the Spring Festival Gala, everyone fell asleep one after another.

Before dawn, everyone was woken up by the sound of firecrackers. When they pushed the door open, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. Even in the hazy night, you could still see the gray in the air. The ban on fireworks and firecrackers did not completely eliminate the problem. reason.

Han Dingbang was using a broom to sweep up the confetti left behind by setting off firecrackers in the yard. These confetti were not only those left by his own family, but also scraped over by his neighbors after setting off firecrackers, and some would fall from time to time in the air.

"Brother-in-law, stop sweeping!"

Han Dingbang smiled and said, "What's the matter? Are you superstitious at a young age?"

It is a custom in many places not to clean up the garbage during the Chinese New Year, for fear of leaking money.

Lin Weimin pointed to the sky, "It's floating. Even if you sweep it, it will be in vain. Just wait until the afternoon."

"Sweep it clean, otherwise it will make you look upset."

When Lin Weimin saw this, he stopped trying to persuade him.

At this age, men always have some inexplicable persistence.

After everyone has washed up and before eating, they formally say New Year's greetings, which is indispensable, and handing out red envelopes.

Lin Weimin gave a red envelope to his granddaughter, and Han Zhuangzhuang, a father, also shamelessly received one.

I opened the red envelope and took a look. My uncle was indeed very wealthy. The red envelopes were all worth 100 yuan.

After breakfast, Lin Weimin drove Tao Huimin to pay New Year greetings.

The first stop was Mr. Wan’s house.

The old man was not very energetic when he got up early. On the night of New Year's Eve, he could calm down a little between 2 and 4 o'clock in the middle of the night. At other times, the sound of firecrackers continued. The old man was already a light sleeper, and the sound of firecrackers kept him awake almost all night. .

Mr. Wan was low on energy, so Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin stayed for a short while before getting up and leaving.

Before leaving, Mr. Wan gave Lin Weimin a letter that had just arrived two days ago. It was written by Balao to him.

Some time ago, Lin Weimin promoted the China Youth Education Development Foundation and Project Hope. Mr. Balao, who was far away in Shanghai, saw news reports and admired Lin Weimin's behavior. He specially sent Mr. Wan 5,000 yuan and asked him to help donate. , and wrote another letter to Lin Weimin, specifically praising Lin Weimin.

"My father praised you so well in his letter. I'm very happy for you. I thought I'd give him a reply when I have time." Mr. Wan said as he sent Lin Weimin off.

"I understand." Lin Weimin promised Mr. Wan and went out.

The second stop was Shi Tiesheng's home.

As soon as Lin Weimin entered the door, he saw an energetic young man, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey! It's early enough to come to the door. Are you here to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning?"

The young man's name is Qin Gang, and he is Shi Lan's lover. Both his parents are teachers, and he himself works in the ministry.

He and Shi Lanren have been in love for more than a year, and today he came here early to pay New Year's greetings to his family.

"Happy New Year to Mr. Lin!" After the introduction, the young man respectfully bowed to Lin Weimin to wish him a happy New Year.

Lin Weimin quickly helped him up, "It's not such a big gift. Just like Shi Lan, just call him Brother Lin."

As he said that, he took out the red envelope from his pocket and said, "Here. You two are juniors, and you have to receive the New Year's money after paying New Year's greetings."

Shi Lan happily accepted the red envelope, while Qin Gang was still a little embarrassed.

Shi Lan said: "Take it quickly, there is no chance to get it next year."

Only then did Qin Gang accept the red envelope.

Lin Weimin joked: "What's wrong? Are you planning to get married this year?"

Shi Lan said openly: "Yes, that's the plan."

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "Good thing, when you get married, Brother Lin will give you a big red envelope!"

Shi Lan was overjoyed when he heard this, and took Qin Gang and bowed to Lin Weimin again.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? No matter how much you bow, you can't do it now!"

"It's okay, just don't forget it when you get married." Shi Lan said happily.

Shi Tiesheng smiled and said: "This girl is really becoming more and more obsessed with money now!"

Lin Weimin said indifferently: "In this age, how can there be people who are not crazy about money?"

Lin Weimin and Shi Tiesheng started chatting.

Shi Lan took advantage of no one's attention and pulled Qin Gang to the next door, "Hand it over!"

"What?"

"Don't act stupid, red envelope!"

Qin Gang reluctantly handed it over, Shi Lan took the red envelope, took out his own, and couldn't wait to open both red envelopes.

Two RMB with the pattern of the main peak of Jinggang Mountain came into Qin Gang's eyes. He was a little surprised, "So many?"

When he received the red envelope just now, he touched the thin one and thought it might be only one or two yuan. Unexpectedly, when he took out the red envelope, it turned out to be one hundred yuan, which was equivalent to his monthly salary.

Shi Lan counted the money with his hands, showing off his true nature as a money addict. Qin Gang couldn't help but complain: "You're still counting just two?"

"This is the feeling you want!" Shi Lan put the money into his pocket.

Qin Gang said: "Lin...brother gives you so much lucky money every year?"

"No. One hundred yuan was after the issuance of the fourth set of RMB. It used to be a big unity card."

Qin Gang was speechless, "No wonder everyone says Brother Lin is rich."

Shi Lan felt very proud, "It doesn't matter whether you have money or not. Brother Lin is just like my own brother."
