Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"I will call Yimin and invite them one by one." Liao Qian immediately showed her capable side.

"Besides, 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?" Liao Qian asked again.

"I know. I met him by chance in Xi'an during the Spring Festival last year." Yu Dongqing nodded.

"Feng Pei comes to Xi'an on business sometimes, and we meet up." Liao Qian took over the conversation and continued:

"I went back to my hometown last fall and made a special trip to visit. Did you know? The dates I went to were just ripe and they were delicious."

"Yeah, it's quite delicious." Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "I remember going to his house during the summer break from school. The dates were not yet fully ripe, but they tasted very sweet. His mother brought us a big bowl. "

"Yes. It happened many years ago, but now I feel as if it happened yesterday." Liao Qian sighed.

They were in love at that time and missed each other very much during the summer vacation. QQ chat was not popular at that time, there was no computer at home, and long-distance phone calls were very expensive, so they did not dare to go to the other party's house easily. In the end, the two agreed to meet at Feng Pei's house.

Of course, it was under the guise of going to a classmate’s house to play.

"I haven't been to Feng Pei's house for many years." Yu Dongqing said.

"If you have time, you can go around. Qinbei has changed a lot now, and it is no longer a sky full of yellow sand."

"OK."

"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 suddenly 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 that the organizing committee will officially send you an invitation letter."

Yu Dongqing nodded. Seeing how Liao Qian was doing, it would be impossible for a few buddies not to come over.

Suddenly he thought of something and asked: "Liao Qian, have you ever heard of the Huayin dialect?"

"Of course I have." Liao Qian laughed: "How come I haven't heard of your hometown drama?"

"That's right, our county has established the Huayin Laoqiang Art Troupe, and my third uncle is the leader." Yu Dongqing briefly explained the causes and consequences of the application for World Heritage, and finally said.

"I hope you can invite my third uncle and the others. The performance will definitely shock you! This is also about protecting and promoting our traditional culture."

"Look what you said, if I don't invite you, I seem to have lost my political awareness." Liao Qian smiled and pondered again: "In this way, I will discuss with the staff of the organizing committee and listen to their opinions. how?"

"OK."

Yu Dongqing knew that this was just a formality.

This music festival is different from the purely folk-organized concerts like Midi, but it has an official background.

"When will you leave Xi'an?" Liao Qian asked again.

"Plan to leave tomorrow."

"You don't want to play for two more days?"

"While I'm on vacation, I want to take Tongtong to a few more places."

"Okay, next time you come to Xi'an, you have to call me in advance, but don't be in such a hurry."

"Haha, you are also welcome to Yanjing."

"Will do."

The meal ended at half past eight, and Yu Dongqing took her daughter to say goodbye. Liao Qian stood at the door of the hotel and saw the backs of her father and daughter, with a smile on her face.

The meeting between the two was not what he originally thought.

But it feels pretty good.

Besides, Yu Dongqing and her daughter were walking back to the hotel, and Yu Tongtong suddenly said: "Dad, that aunt just now likes you."

Yu Dongqing was surprised when he heard this and couldn't help but stop.

"Tongtong, how did you know that Auntie likes me?"

"I can feel it. Look, auntie put on makeup tonight. She is much more beautiful than what I saw at noon."

Why does this kid always notice this?

Yu Dongqing thought for a while and said, "Dad and that aunt liked each other when they were in college, but they broke up after graduating from college."

"Dad, since you like each other, why did you break up?" the daughter asked again.

Can this be explained clearly in one or two sentences?

Yu Dongqing thought for a moment before saying, "Because my father likes singing and wants to stay in Yanjing, and my aunt wants to go back to her hometown, we have to separate."

"Yeah, if dad doesn't separate from aunt, he won't marry mom, and there won't be me."

Children know so much!

Yu Dongqing glanced at her daughter again.

"Okay, stop thinking about it and leave quickly."

After returning to the hotel and watching TV for a while, my daughter went to bed after taking a bath, but Yu Dongqing lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Meeting Liao Qian was better than I imagined.

The past has gone with the wind, but they are still fellow villagers, classmates and friends. We also care about each other but it has nothing to do with love.

Just like a song "The Price of Love" sung by Li Zongsheng in that time and space

Maybe I still miss him occasionally

Sometimes I will inevitably miss him

Just treat him as an old friend

It also makes me feel distressed and concerned

It's just that there's no spark in my heart anymore

Let the past go with the wind

All sincere and infatuated words

still in my heart

Although he is no longer there

When I got up the next morning, I originally planned to drive west to Qinghai Lake, but Yu Dongqing suddenly changed his mind and wanted to go to Qinbei to find Feng Pei.

Chat with him and eat jujubes from their hometown.

Sometimes, friendship lasts longer than love.

Without love, you will be lonely occasionally; without friendship, you will be lonely all your life.

When Yu Dongqing told her daughter Yu Tongtong her thoughts, the little girl didn't care. She was just there to play anyway.

It’s best to spend the whole holiday or play on the road.

Of course, Yu Dongqing couldn't forget to call Feng Pei in advance.

When Feng Pei received the call and heard that Yu Dongqing and his daughter were coming to their home to play, he was very enthusiastic.

"You came just in time. The school is on vacation now. I have nothing to do for the time being and can spend a few days with you." Feng Pei said with a smile on the phone.

"Go to your hometown to pick dates and eat them."

"Haha. Okay, my jujube harvest will be bumper this year."

After chatting for a while, Yu Dongqing hung up the phone, packed her things, checked out and left the hotel. Of course, she couldn't go empty-handed. She had to buy some gifts, and then drove north.

Head north along the Xiyan Expressway, passing through the Guanzhong Plain and soon entering the Loess Plateau. In the past, people had the impression that the Loess Plateau was filled with yellow sand and howling winds. However, after decades of returning farmland to forest, the environment has become much better.

Yu Dongqing was driving on the highway. On the hillsides on both sides, there were golden canola flowers, pink buckwheat flowers, and dark green potato seedlings. The oats had been filled with grain, and the Maran-colored flax flowers were intoxicating.

Unfortunately, I am driving now and cannot take pictures.

Feng Pei's family is in Yanxi in northern Qin, already close to Ningxia. After arriving in Yan'an, he should turn west.

However, Yu Dongqing was not in a hurry to go there and went to Yan'an City to rest. He took his daughter to eat the famous local snack buckwheat noodles. After resting for a while, he drove around Yan'an City and then hit the road along Baomao. We drove west at high speed and finally arrived at Yanxi at 5pm in the sunset sky.

Feng Pei was already waiting at the highway intersection in his car. The two smiled and hugged, and then Yu Dongqing's car followed Feng Pei's car into the county town.

When they arrived at the Galaxy Building not far from the county government, the two cars stopped. Feng Pei told Yu Dongqing that the room had been booked. You should wash up and rest first, and then go to dinner. Our whole family welcomes you.

Yu Dongqing was not polite and took her daughter to wash up briefly, and then followed Feng Pei to a small private room in the dining room on the second floor. There was already a mother and daughter sitting inside, who were Feng Pei's wife and daughter.

After introduction, Feng Pei's daughter-in-law is named Meng Jiayan, a teacher at a primary school in the county. Their daughter is older and has already entered junior high school.

The two families were chatting while eating. Yu Dongqing and Feng Pei talked about forming a band to sing when they were in college. Meng Jiayan, who was sitting next to them, suddenly interrupted: "Feng Pei, you can still sing?!"
