Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

She lives in a community near the district government, less than ten minutes' walk. When she got home, she hurried into the bedroom, applied powder, drew on her eyebrows, and applied lipstick, focusing on covering up the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

Then he opened the closet and looked for suitable clothes. After choosing for a long time, he finally selected a white suspender dress and put on a small waistcoat, which was elegant yet a little charming.

Liao Qian remembers that when she was in college, Yu Dongqing liked her to wear a white dress the most, even though it was just ordinary cotton.

Finally, Liao Na untied her normally tied hair and draped it over her shoulders, making her look much younger.

After putting on her bag and putting on high-heeled sandals, Liao Na was very satisfied and looked in the mirror again to see that it was almost time before going out.

Besides, after Yu Dongqing answered the phone, he asked her daughter to get up, change clothes and go out to eat later.

"Dad, what are we going to eat today? I don't want to eat mutton steamed buns again." The daughter said, rubbing her eyes in confusion and pouting.

"We don't eat mutton steamed buns. Today we have an aunt to treat us. She is the college classmate of dad that dad told you about. You also saw her this afternoon." Yu Dongqing explained.

Hearing that it was the aunt she met today, Yu Tongtong seemed to be perked up. She stood up and suddenly asked, "Is it that aunt? Is aunt married?"

"It seems we are divorced. Why are you asking?" Yu Dongqing felt strange.

"Dad, are you going to find me a stepmother?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Yu Dongqing was angry and amused after hearing this, and touched her daughter's head: "What's in your little head?!"

"I'm not thinking nonsense at all!" The daughter looked very serious: "Xia Wenxing said that his parents divorced, and his father found a stepmother for him, and he didn't like it at all."

Why.

Yu Dongqing sighed slightly in her heart.

Children from single-parent families are sensitive. Yu Dongqing knew that this little boy named Xia Wenxing was Yu Tongtong's deskmate, but the girl often bullied him.

Looking at her daughter's childish face, Yu Dongqing gently sat next to her and said softly: "Dad is not looking for a stepmother for you this time. Even if he finds you in the future, he must make her like you and you like her too. Do you understand?"

"Keep your word! Let's pull the hook!" Yu Tongtong held out her little finger.

"Okay, hang yourself with the hook, it won't change for a hundred years!" Yu Dongqing stretched out her little finger to pull the hook with her daughter. Yu Tongtong became happy, changed her clothes, jumped out of bed and put on her shoes.

Seeing that it was almost time, Yu Dongqing took her daughter's hand and left the hotel. However, the hotel was not far away, so the father and daughter walked over.

According to the private room number in the text message sent by Liao Na, Yu Dongqing went up to the second floor, opened the door and saw Liao Na with a smile on her face.

Ah?

It seems that she has been dressed up carefully. She is no longer as smart as she was on TV last night and met by chance during the day today, and is a little more charming.

"Tongtong, call auntie quickly." Yu Dongqing said softly.

"Aunt."

"So good." Liao Na took Yu Tongtong's little hand affectionately: "What's your name?"

"Yu Tongtong."

"Tongtong is so beautiful and cute."

"Auntie, you are so beautiful." Yu Tongtong also said, and suddenly added: "My aunt is even more beautiful."

Ah?

Liao Qian was a little surprised.

Yu Dongqing was a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained to Liao Qian: "My wife died of illness a few years ago, so she and her aunt were very close. Don't mind."

"It's just a child." Liao Qian didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, she teased Yu Tongtong: "Your aunt is young and must be beautiful. My aunt is old."

"Auntie is not old either."

Liao Qian smiled.

The three of them sat down. Liao Qian sat opposite Yu Dongqing and his daughter, and said in a very caring tone, "I learned about you from Feng Pei. I didn't expect that there would be such a sad thing. You can't take care of the child alone." easy."

"I'm used to it, and her grandparents and aunts are helping me, so I don't feel too tired." Yu Dongqing smiled: "I heard Feng Pei say that you and your husband..."

"Divorced. He divorced last year. The child belongs to him." Liao Qian had a bitter smile on her face.

"It doesn't matter, find another one." Yu Dongqing comforted.

"How can it be that easy? Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's eat when the food is ready?"

There are not many dishes but they are very exquisite. They are basically hometown dishes. Yu Dongqing unexpectedly found that there is also fish in the water that he likes to eat.

"I know you used to love this the most." Liao Qian said with a smile.

Indeed.

I remember one summer weekend when I was still studying at Yanjing Normal University, Yu Dongqing suddenly wanted to eat squid, which was rarely sold in Yanjing, so Liao Qian accompanied him on the bus for most of the day. I visited all the snack streets around Haidian and finally found one.

Yu Dongqing also remembered this incident. Now that he suddenly thought of this, he was slightly moved.

The days at that time were simple and happy.

"Eat, eat. Are you hungry?" Liao Qian greeted with a smile.

The two chatted while eating, asking each other how they were doing.

"Holly, you are a big singer now. I saw you on TV as a judge for Happy Girls." Liao Qian said, "You have also written many nice songs."

"What, you still pay attention to these?"

"My job is related to culture. I am the deputy district chief in charge of culture, education and health." Liao Qian explained.

"Ha, great leader. It seems that you made the right choice to join the system." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"That's right. You insisted on pursuing the path of music at first, and it seems you were right now."

yes

Now it seems that both of them are on the right path.

But it seems like I have lost something?

"Holly, I sometimes wonder, what would it have been like if I had listened to you and stayed in Yanjing?" Liao Qian said suddenly.

"Stay in Yanjing?" Yu Dongqing laughed after hearing this: "How can there be so many assumptions in life? But I guess if you stayed in Yanjing, you would not have achieved such great achievements in your career."

"Maybe, but I won't lose anything else." Liao Qian said quietly.

Yu Dongqing said nothing.

He understood what Liao Qian meant.

At this moment, Yu Dongqing's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Meimei, so he answered it.

"Brother-in-law, where are you and Tongtong playing?"

"In Xi'an, I met an old classmate and had dinner together." Yu Dongqing said: "How was your filming?"

"It went very well. Is Tongtong here? I want to talk to Tongtong."

"exist."

After Yu Dongqing finished speaking, she handed the phone to her daughter sitting next to her: "Auntie wants to talk to you."

Tongtong took the phone and said, "Auntie, I miss you."

"I miss Tongtong too."

"Xi'an is so much fun, auntie, just come and play with us."

"Auntie is busy. Can I accompany you next time?"

"Uh-huh."

Liao Qian quietly watched Yu Tongtong chatting affectionately with her aunt, and suddenly sighed slightly in her heart.

Yu Tongtong and Mingliang talked on the phone, while Yu Dongqing and Liao Qian chatted quietly.

"Holly, I want to discuss something with you." Liao Qian said.

"you say?"

"The Youth China Xi'an Qujiang International Music Festival will be held in September, and famous singers and bands from home and abroad will be invited to perform. This is a very important task for our district government in the second half of the year. I will be in charge of this matter. I hope you and Your Qingmang Track Band can participate."

"Huh? An official invitation?" Yu Dongqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"It's still official, but it also represents me personally. I haven't seen Yimin and the others for many years. Let's take this opportunity to get together. By the way, there's also Feng Pei."

"Do you know about Feng Pei's situation?"

"I know, I met him by chance in Xi'an during the Spring Festival last year and met him once." Yu Dongqing told the truth.

"I heard Feng Pei say, hey, you didn't even give me a call when you arrived in Xi'an. If we hadn't met by chance today, I probably wouldn't have seen you." Liao Qian complained.

"You are a big leader and you are busy with work."

"That's it again." Liao Qian said angrily: "You are still a big singer. We have agreed. The organizing committee will officially send you an invitation letter by then."

"It depends on whether Yimin and the others are free." Yu Dongqing would not agree easily.
