Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Meimei, what are you talking about? Your brother-in-law is taking Tongtong back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. What are you doing?!" Liu Huiyan was the first to stop her.

This daughter has been spoiled by him, and she doesn't say anything big or small. Are you allowed to go to your brother-in-law's hometown at will? !

Ming Hanwen also frowned: "Meimei, don't mess around! Celebrate the New Year at home peacefully, you can't go anywhere!"

"I don't want to play!"

Meimei confidently said: "My homework for winter vacation this year is to make a micro-documentary! My brother-in-law's hometown, Qin Province, has a profound cultural heritage, and Huayin Laoqiang is a drama with local characteristics. If I can make a micro-documentary that expresses traditional Chinese culture, it will be great." Great!"

At this point, Meiliang looked at Ming Hanwen: "Dad, don't you often call for inheriting and carrying forward traditional culture and retaining our roots? Why don't you agree?!"

This this?

How to say?

My daughter, you can go to other places, but can you go to your brother-in-law's house as you like? Especially during the Chinese New Year, and your sister is gone again, what’s the point of taking you back? !

But it's not good to say this in front of your eldest son-in-law.

Yu Dongqing saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Meiliang, if you want to shoot a micro-documentary about traditional culture, you don't necessarily have to go so far. There are many traditional cultures in Yanjing, such as courtyard hutongs, Peking opera, and temple fairs. You can shoot them." "

"Also, if you really want to go to our hometown to listen to the old Huayin tune, that's okay. When the summer vacation comes next summer, you can bring a few classmates and I will go back with you. My parents and my third uncle will definitely give you a warm welcome. !”

Yu Dongqing's words were very appropriate, and it was hard for Meimei to refute anything. Her father-in-law nodded slightly after hearing this.

My eldest son-in-law can indeed talk!

However, Yu Dongqing was not so optimistic. He felt a little frightened when he saw Meili lowering her head and playing with her phone as if nothing had happened.

He knew his sister-in-law too well.

The calmer it is, the more it will explode.

Will something happen later that will make the two elders unhappy?

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Yu Dongqing took her daughter Yu Tongtong, carrying two large suitcases and a travel bag on her back, and boarded the high-speed train back to her hometown.

Almost all of them are gifts bought for parents and relatives back home. Even my daughter Yu Tongtong has a small travel bag on her back.

There are many relatives at home, so we must go to them all. As the saying goes: "It's better not to have a village than to wipe out a store." Otherwise, there will be people gossiping behind your back.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Meimei personally drove from Houhai to Hujialou and sent Yu Dongqing and her daughter to the high-speed rail station. Before entering the station, she hugged Yu Tongtong and muttered something.

After getting on the high-speed train, putting away the luggage and sitting down, Yu Dongqing asked her daughter: "Tongtong, what was my aunt whispering to you just now?"

Unexpectedly, my daughter replied abruptly:

"Auntie said you can't tell dad. This is our secret. You'll know it in a few days!"

I pour.

My little cotton-padded jacket has started to leak even before it grows up?

After more than five hours of driving, we finally arrived at the terminal station - Huashan North Station. Yu Dongqing got out of the car with large and small bags, took a taxi directly after leaving the station, and went straight to his hometown of Beizhai Village.

Sitting in the car, Yu Dongqing looked at the scenery outside.

It's afternoon now, the Weihe Plain in winter is cold and windy, and everywhere is gray, thick, solemn, and lacking in bright green. This reminds Yu Dongqing of the original time and space "White Deer Plain", which took place in Guanzhong Stories from the plains.

A majestic epic of 50 years of changes in the Weihe Plain, a long and colorful and shocking scroll of Chinese rural areas.

"Is this world black? Is this world white? No, this world is by no means simple black and white, but the gray between black and white. Just like complex people, there are no absolutely good people, and there are no Absolutely bad guy."

Someone said this about "White Deer Plain".

To the south is the Qinling Mountains, and over there are green waters and green mountains. The customs and customs here are completely different, and another great writer-Jia Pingwa was born.

Yu Dongqing does not like to read his novels such as "The Wasted Capital" where XXX words are often omitted here, but likes his early collection of essays "The First Record of Shangzhou" and "The Second Record of Shangzhou". In a sentimental and poetic style, it shows people's way of living and customs in the cultural atmosphere of Shangzhou.

Although it is not about his hometown, Yu Dongqing likes to read it.

If you turn your head to the north, you will see the Loess Plateau with thousands of ravines, which also gave birth to another famous writer-Lu Yao, whose book "The Ordinary World" was born.

The world you and I live in is an ordinary world. Lu Yao used his pen to describe the struggle of an ordinary person, the struggle of an ordinary family, and the growth process of an ordinary person.

In addition to describing the struggles of the two brothers Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping, the book also writes about the love affairs of several young people.

Sun Shaoping and Tian Xiaoxia, Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye, and Jin Bo and the unknown Tibetan girl.

What moved Yu Dongqing the most was Jin Bo's love.

The book reads:

"He stood at the crossroads, singing this echoless song with tears streaming down his face. Many Tibetan and Han passers-by stopped in surprise and listened to him singing as if no one else was around. Most people thought that this was someone from outside. A mental patient. However, he sang this beautiful song so heart-wrenchingly!"

Jin Bo has always been an idealist living in the secular world. He has a cheerful personality and smooth handling of things, but he is the purest person whom I love in the book.

Compared with him, other people's love relationships are a bit boring, and they are nothing more than a talented man and a good-looking woman who are well matched.

Jin Bo himself explained that "love doesn't know where it starts, it goes deep."

Just like in the movie "Suzhou River", Lulu knew that Ma Da's love was true, and she suddenly felt frightened.

So, she asked her boyfriend, "If I leave one day, will you look for me like Ma Da did?"

The boyfriend replied: "Yes"

Lulu: "Will you keep looking?"

Boyfriend: "Yes"

Lulu: "Will you always find death?"

Boyfriend: "Yes"

Lulu: "You lied"

We are all ordinary people, cowardly and rational, just like how Lulu calmly pointed out that her boyfriend was lying in the end.

We may not have the courage throughout our lives to spend too much emotion and energy on a meaningless love like Jin Bo and Ma Da.

However, once such a person appears, even if it is only in a book, how can one not like him?

When he was packing his bags, traveling around and still unable to find his Tibetan girl, his big eyes must have been filled with heartbreaking sadness.

I have an old friend who went away with his sword and cut off the spring breeze but refused to return.

"Master, we're here!" The taxi driver's solemn hometown dialect awoke Yu Dongqing from his wild thoughts, and it turned out that he had already arrived at the entrance of the village.

Yu Dongqing hurriedly pawned the money, took her daughter, and carried large and small bags of luggage. At this time, she saw a woman standing under the old locust tree not far from the village entrance and looking in this direction. It was her mother—— Liu Fenglan.

Thanks to Qiuzhi Shenguang and others for their rewards, and thanks to Barefoot Man and others for their monthly tickets.
