Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Xia Wenxi planned to rush to Yanjing to attend the annual Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Award Ceremony, while Yu Hongguang, who was far away in Huayin, also received an invitation to attend the award ceremony.

At that time, he was singing at a wedding. In addition to the previous popular songs, this time there was an additional song "Good Morning Huayin".

When he first received this phone invitation, he thought it was a scam call. Later, the other party repeatedly explained that he was dubious. After hanging up the phone, he quickly called his eldest nephew Yu Dongqing and found out that it was indeed the case.

His song "Men Should Be Strong" was shortlisted for last year's top ten Chinese hits. If selected, he would have to go on stage to receive the award and sing.

"Uncle Third, are you coming?" Yu Dongqing asked on the phone.

"For such a big matter, I will definitely go back and discuss it with your third mother." Yu Hongguang pondered for a moment before answering.

"Okay, you guys have agreed. If you come, don't forget to call me. I'll pick you up at the station."

"What a problem."

After Yu Hongguang's wedding concert, he immediately drove his elderly mobility scooter straight to Beizhai Village.

This mobility scooter for the elderly was newly purchased. In the past, when I went to concerts, I had to be picked up by my family or driven by my son, which was really inconvenient. After the Chinese New Year, I might as well spend 20,000 yuan to buy this car. I don’t need to take a driver’s license test. I can run around in the city and countryside without worrying about wind or rain. It’s very affordable.

Yu Hongguang drove the car back to his yard. After putting the car away, he hurried inside to help his daughter-in-law Zhang Qiaoling who was doing housework.

After listening to her husband's cheerful narration, Zhang Qiaoling didn't look very excited. She just asked lightly: "His father, do you want to go?"

"Hehe, that's it, going on stage to receive the award, what an honor it is."

"Yeah. Ever since Dongqing asked you to sing a song, you have become very prosperous now. You went to Yanjing and Xi'an, and you sang everywhere. Even the leaders of the county came to visit you, and you were asked to be the inheritor. "

"Heir of non-heritage." Yu Hongguang quickly added.

"You are now not only a celebrity in the village, but also in the township and county." Zhang Qiaoling sighed longly: "Everyone in the village praises you. Even Widow Zhang looks at you differently."

"Qiaoling, don't talk nonsense. Widow Zhang and I have nothing to do with each other." Yu Hongguang was so frightened that he waved his hands quickly.

"I know what you are doing! If there is anything wrong with you, I will let you stand here and talk to me!" Zhang Qiaoling's voice suddenly rose an octave.

"With her pockmarked face and bucket waist, Widow Zhang still wants to seduce my husband, bah!"

Yu Hongguang stood aside and said nothing.

"But everything is different in the city. The big girls and young wives in the city are more beautiful than the last. You are a celebrity when you go to Yanjing to receive an award, and now you have money in your pocket."

"But it doesn't matter. Hongguang, if you like any woman, tell me as soon as possible, and we will get divorced. I will let her live in this house, ah?"

"Qiaoling, what are you talking about?! Do you think I, Yu Hongguang, am that kind of person?! We all survived the poor days in the past. Now that things are getting better, you say you want a divorce! You already have a daughter-in-law, so you want to throw it out? No shame!”

"But, TV says that men become bad when they have money."

I.

Yu Hongguang tried hard to comfort his tearful daughter-in-law, saying that he would be back soon after receiving the award. If you are really worried, I only need 100 yuan of pocket money in addition to the round trip expenses.

"What can you do with 100 dollars now? Who will follow me for such money? Are you relieved now?" Yu Hongguang almost slapped his chest in assurance.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiaoling said: "You only have 100 yuan in your pocket? You are now a celebrity in our county. What if you really have a social event and don't have money to make people laugh? Take two thousand yuan from home before leaving!"

"So many? Then you're not afraid?" Yu Hongguang joked as his wife regained her composure.

"Take a small notebook and write it down. When you come back, explain everything you spent to me clearly." After Zhang Qiaoling finished speaking, she turned around and walked around the room.

ah? this?

Yu Hongguang froze on the spot.

A week later, Yu Hongguang once again set foot on the high-speed train to Yanjing, carrying large and small bags of luggage. This time, Yu Dongqing still picked him up at the station.

After stuffing the specialties from his hometown that his third uncle had carried on his back into the suitcase at the back of the car, Yu Dongqing got in the car and said to Yu Hongguang: "Third uncle, let's arrange for you to stay here first. Tonight, Director Jin of Huangdu TV Station wants to invite you privately." You eat."

When Yu Dongqing returned for the New Year, she mentioned Jin Yunfeng during a chat with her third uncle, so Yu Hongguang was not surprised and just sighed:

"I don't think so. The young man who liked playing, playing and singing used to pester your grandfather all day long and follow him around. Now he has become the director of a TV station."

"No, have you become a star?" Yu Dongqing replied with a smile, and then asked: "Uncle Third, how is the promotion of the song "Good Morning Huayin" now?"

"Hey, you don't know. The county's propaganda efforts are very fierce, especially in our village. The village radio broadcasts non-stop on the village committee loudspeaker at 7:30 every morning. The sound is so loud that some villagers start Complaining is disturbing the people." Yu Hongguang complained.

"Go back and tell Hua Qing not to do this. No matter how good the song is, it will get boring if it is stopped for a long time, and it will cause aesthetic fatigue." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"That's right, I almost vomited when I sang this song."

After Yu Dongqing arranged the accommodation for his third uncle, Jin Yunfeng treated Yu Hongguang to a meal of boiled mutton at the Jubaoyuan store in the evening, with Yu Dongqing accompanying him.

The two chatted while eating. Jin Yunfeng first asked about the inscription on the World Heritage List and said that if you need my help, just ask, and then they reminisced about the bitterness and sweetness, talking about things that happened decades ago, and they had a great time talking. Finally, the two of them They all came home drunk.

Yu Dongqing helped the drunk third uncle into the car. When he arrived at the hotel, Yu Hongguang was so excited that he danced with joy. Yu Dongqing was afraid that something would happen to him. He waited until he finally calmed down and fell asleep in the middle of the night, then he drove home.

I went to bed late at night and didn't get up on time the next day. I was in a daze when I heard the phone ringing on the bedside, so I picked it up.

It turned out to be a call from Luo Yun, whom she hadn't seen for many days.

"Dongqing, what did you do to my father-in-law last night? He drank so much that he fell unconscious after returning home. My mother-in-law was frightened. She quickly called 120, and then called me to ask me to come over and help. She spent half the night. " Luo Yun said angrily on the phone.

"I didn't expect this." Yu Dongqing was a little helpless: "Both of them drank too much in the end, and I couldn't persuade them to stop."

"Hey, you are really old." Luo Yun sighed on the phone and changed the subject: "Dongqing, what have you been busy with recently?"

"What are you busy with? You go home to spend the New Year, and then you have nothing to do when you come back. No, you will attend a ceremony party in two days. How about you? Have a good time in Xiangjiang during the New Year?"

"Xiangjiang. It's hard to say. I'll talk to you when I have time. My mother-in-law called me over to help, but I hung up. Goodbye."

"Bye-Bye."
