Perfect Life

Shuntianfu, Yangquan Hutong.

Since the economy began to revitalize, commercial housing has begun to be built in large numbers, and villas have also been built outside the city, but the real wealthy and old Shuntian people still prefer to live in courtyards in hutongs.

Right in the middle of this Yangquan Hutong, there is a courtyard. From the outside, there is nothing unusual about it. It is just an ordinary courtyard. When you enter the door, you can see that it has been carefully redesigned and decorated. The entire courtyard is covered with blue bricks, old plum trees, and even the eaves and corners have been repainted. Looking at it, there is a neat and elegant atmosphere, which makes people subconsciously know that the taste of the owner here is not extraordinary.

This is Zhou Cong's home in Shuntian Mansion.

In 1984, Zhou Ai, who was only 18 years old, officially debuted and released an album called "18 Years Old This Year". She followed the route of a pure and beautiful girl, but the sales were very ordinary. In the winter of the same year, she released another album. Zhang record, but continued to rush to the street, and then the company realized that she would not be able to go this way, because although she is very beautiful, she is indeed very pure, but the stubbornness in her bones and the unruly in the corners of her eyes and brows, But it really made her unable to become a lovable and good girl, so the company catered to the fashion at the time, and simply released a selection of operas for her, and made some money. Leave her alone.

So, Zhou Hao, who had no one to care and no one to ask at that time, was ruthless, and found the old man Xie Jinshun, who was already semi-retired at the time. Father Xie nodded. Lasted a year. I made a record for her with her voice style, and she became popular overnight.

Three years later, in 1990, she invested 1.28 million to buy this old-fashioned courtyard house in Yangjuan Hutong, and then successively spent more than a year and millions of funds to carry out this courtyard house. Renovated and redecorated, eventually. This became her home in Shuntian Mansion.

Even at the end of 1992, after she officially announced her retirement from the music scene to get married, she still hired people to clean up and clean the place every day, and she herself came to stay for one or two nights every once in a while.

It wasn't until a month ago that she moved back here again, carrying the small suitcase that she had married in the past.

Yes, she is divorced.

and away.

There are special provisions in the law to protect concubinage rights, property rights and divorce rights, so it is impossible for the other party to block, and in fact, does not block, a small blueprint, click. Once the seal is affixed, she is no longer someone's concubine.

It is afternoon. However, the Shuntian Mansion has been gloomy since two days ago, and it looks like the snow is about to fall, and the temperature is also abnormally low. Fortunately, the houses in the courtyard have been specially renovated, not only replaced by Custom-made insulated windows with triple glazing are also connected to the outside heating pipes. At this time, the heating in the room was very hot, and although it was cold outside, it was more than 20 degrees inside.

Zhou Ai nestled on the sofa, motionless for a long time.

She has a very simple home-style bun on her head, a navy blue linen shirt on her upper body, a pair of leggings, and her feet are bare, but she seems to be a little afraid of the cold, and she deliberately wears a thin blanket.

When she first debuted, she was known for her pure beauty, and later became popular, but she liked to put on a deviant look. When she came out with smoky makeup, she directly covered most of her beauty, and only arrogant. The rugged and eccentric side is exposed. But in fact, although she is almost thirty years old now, she still looks so beautiful with her face up to the sky, and, surprisingly, she is a little older, the arrogance and angularity on her body and face. Instead, his strength has faded a lot, and he looks a lot more pure than eleven years ago.

It's just... a little thinner.

The nanny Wu Ma stepped in, and seeing that she was still lying still, she couldn't help but sighed in her heart - it's been almost a month since she moved back, almost every day, except for eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, Sitting there motionless, Wu Ma almost watched her lose weight day by day—when it was time to eat, she would see her thin, bony wrists and arms when she raised her hand and slipped her sleeves down. Think about three years ago. Before she got married, her face was obviously more rounded than it is now, which made people couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Miss, Mr. Zou is here," she said.

"Hmm..." Zhou Hao suddenly woke up, looked up at Wu Ma, nodded lightly, but didn't say anything.

Then, Zou Wenhuai stepped in, holding a large cardboard box in his arms.

He put the cardboard box on the ground beside the coffee table, then sat down panting and said, "From January 1993 to the present, all the albums of all the singers released in China in the past three years, as well as all the albums that I can collect. Some foreign albums, singles, etc. that have arrived, are all here!"

Zhou Hao heard him speak, looked up at him, nodded lightly, but was still speechless.

Zou Wenhuai was very fat, so he brought such a box in from the door of the house, let him gasp for a full half a minute, and then raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, which was not much sweat, and said, "Mummy, you just Are you going to continue to be in such a daze? It's been more than a month, it's time to get back to your senses!"

Zhou Hao looked up at him after hearing this, and after a while, she said slowly, "Actually, I don't need these."

She was talking about the box of records that Zou Wenhuai brought.

But as Zhou Hao's manager and assistant, the two have known each other for many years and have worked together for many years. Zou Wenhuai did hear that her voice was wrong, so she glanced decisively in the room, and immediately saw the table on the side of the coffee table. Half a pack of cigarettes and a pack of matches. Then, his eyes widened immediately, "Why are you smoking again! I said 嫫嫫, don't you know what is the most valuable thing in you? It's your voice! You...you are ruining it. yourself!"

While speaking, he half got up and grabbed the half box of cigarettes and matches. dropped to the ground. Angrily stepped on a few feet. Said: "Just because of your throat, just to prevent you from being smoked and choked, and even I quit smoking, don't you know? You smoked it yourself? You spoil yourself, right? For that old man, Does it make sense?"

Zhou Hao looked up at him, then looked down at the cigarette case and matches that he stepped on, took a deep breath, and bent down. Just at Zou Wenhuai's feet, she picked up the cigarette case and matchbox, brushed the dirt that didn't exist on the cigarette case with her finger, and skillfully ejected one. The match, struck, lit, and drawn deeply.

Got... Zhou Concubine is still the same Zhou Concubine.

As long as it's something she doesn't want to do, the more you screw it. The more she screwed with you!

Not afraid of heaven and earth!

Zou Wenhuai's brows jumped twice, and his chest heaved a few times. But he sighed again and sat down.

After so many years, Zhou Hao's donkey temperament is so familiar to him that those who are familiar with him have long since lost their anger.

"You, you, let me tell you what's good about you..."

Zhou Hao took another puff, and then suddenly took a long puff of cigarettes, and said with a hoarse voice, "What's the matter, tell me!"

Zou Wenhuai looked at her, frowning tightly, but in the end, he could only sigh-he had never been able to screw this little girl over the years.

So, after a pause, he said, "I told you a lot when I came here last time. Recently, the bosses of several companies have called. So far, I have received dozens of calls. Right? It's still from the boss-level people, Sony, Huage, Dongfang, Taishan, Times... Of course, and your old club, Xinda, it's funny to say, I was still in Xinda last month. How many hairy children, from the time you announced your marriage, from the boss to the receptionist and the doorman, they all saw that my nose is not nose, and my eyes are not eyes. Once you get divorced, okay, they all come around, Lao Zhou said. , as long as you are willing to go back, Xinda will give you and me the best treatment and the most relaxed conditions in the industry!"

Zhou Ai listened calmly, waited for him to finish speaking, and after a while, she suddenly recovered from her daze, but she just stretched out her hand to flick off the cigarette ashes, then snuffed out the cigarette, and said, "You talk to me. They said, my voice is hoarse, I can't sing, and I don't want to sing anymore."

As soon as Zou Wenhuai heard this, he immediately became anxious again, "Don't sing? What do you want to do without singing? Just you, besides singing, what else can you do, what can you do? Rest in a daze? Dead in this room?"

Maybe Zou Wenhuai's voice was too high all of a sudden, so scared that Wu Ma, who was working outside, ran over quickly. And what she saw was that Zou Wenhuai blushed and yelled at Zhou Ai with a thick neck, but Zhou Ai continued to lie on the sofa with a calm face, unmoved.

Wu Ma looked at this, looked at that, not knowing whether to talk or not to leave.

After a while, Zhou Hao moved her hands and feet slightly and said, "Say, Wu Ma, I'm tired, you can send Mr. Zou out on my behalf!"

Wu Ma quickly agreed, and then looked at Zou Wenhuai.

Zou Wenhuai choked for her, and stood up in anger, "Okay, 嫫嫫, you can do this for me! Ah! Just hold it for me! I tell you, it's just you, it's just you. This voice, you are now a demon, when you come back to your senses, when your throat is so itchy that you want to sing, I am waiting for you to come to me! Tell you, you are born to sing! You don't Sing, God will force you to sing!"

After he finished speaking, he got up angrily and left, but when he reached the door, he stopped again, looked back at Zhou Ai, he pretended to be cold and said: "There is a little genius in the circle recently, and he holds one in each hand. Liao Liao, not to mention your place in the past, he recently helped a girl group composed of five little girls from Huage to make an album. I listened to it, and it was very good. It's all in the box, you If you don't want to die, find out and listen to it! By the way, there will be them at the New Year's Day singing party tonight, you can take a look. Also... cigarettes, if you can smoke less, try to smoke as little as possible!"

Having said that, when he saw that Zhou Hao was already looking like a ghost again, he couldn't help but get angry and said angrily: "I'm leaving, you continue to seek death!"

…………

After sending Zou Wenhuai away, Wu Ma came back. Seeing that Zhou Ai was still in a quiet daze, she couldn't help but sighed again, walked over a few steps, and asked, "Miss, what would you like to eat tonight? I should make dinner!"

When Zhou Hao heard this, she looked up at her, lowered her head, looked up at her again, and suddenly asked, "Mother Wu, do you think I'm almost dead?"

Wu Ma was startled when she heard the words, and quickly said: "Mr. Zou is making you angry! Don't listen to it! Besides, Mr. Zou has been here so many times, he said. Yes, I have heard a lot around, people are really thinking about you!"

Zhou Hao nodded, "Old Zou is a good man."

Wu Ma was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said quickly, "Miss, I think Mr. Zou is right. You are born to be sent by God to sing, so you should sing!"

Hearing this, Zhou Hao laughed unexpectedly. Although there was no sound, it was like a pear blossom first blooming. It seemed that the whole room was brightened a lot, and Wu Ma was even more stunned when she saw it.

Then, Zhou Ai asked: "Do you... also think that I have to be a concubine for such a high-ranking person, it's a bit silly? And..." She smiled to herself, with a bit of bitterness in her smile, "And he's still an old man! And... Ha ha……"

Wu Ma listened, her heart suddenly became sour, and she couldn't help but say: "Miss, I've been here since you cleaned up the yard. Now, I'll take care of the house, clean and tidy up the housework for you. We're gone. It has been almost four years, you, you may not like to listen to what I say, you are not stupid, you are just too stupid!"

Ouch, just this sentence, Zhou Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Idiot?"

Wu Ma said: "Actually, I don't know much, but the stories in the play are clear. Those young ladies don't know how many people came to ask for relatives, but she didn't like it, so she just took a fancy to the poor scholar and sent them back. Clothes and money were given to him without the knowledge of his parents for him to study and test for fame. What was she thinking about? In the end, the scholar was admitted to the top scholar and became a high official~www.wuxiaspot.com~ turned around and married the emperor's family. My daughter, what did she leave behind? To put it bluntly, isn't it just a word for idiots? Our old man said, this is called madness!"

Hearing this, Zhou Hao stared at her blankly. After a while, she sighed softly and said, "Uncle is a sensible man!"

But she quickly waved her hand and said, "Mother Wu, I'm not hungry. You don't have to make dinner. You should go home quickly. Uncle Zi must be hungry by now!"

Wu Ma was stunned for a moment and said, "How can I do it? I must do it for you first!"

But Zhou Ai shook her head firmly.

"I just want to be alone for a while," she said.

Maybe I was too tired recently, I sent out the first chapter, I thought about taking a break and then writing the next chapter, but I lay down on the sofa and fell asleep within three minutes. When I woke up, it was almost eleven. I clicked... and I still remembered that the code word needs to be updated, which scared me to wake up! (To be continued..)
