Roaming in the world of film and television

"Bingkun, let's return the five hundred yuan to Chachao, the family does not lack this money."

Lin Yue walked ahead, and Zheng Juan chased behind, holding Cong Cong's hand.

"I can't give it."

"Why?"

Zheng Juan couldn't figure it out, so when he got home, he went to Jichun Department Store to move a color TV set for Li Suhua. Last night he caught up with 500 yuan, but he kept it.

"One yard counts for one yard. This money is the cost of buying materials and labor for the construction of their house. In other words, this is the debt of the 12 members of the Sun family. If it is not collected, it will be a real person like catching up." , will always feel indebted to me, and once the neighbors know about it, not only will they not say good things about us, but they will also say that we have money to burn and make a sensation. You have lived here for so long, and you still don’t understand these people Psychology? It’s okay to be poor together, but if one of the families is prosperous, it’s inevitable that people will be jealous, or even hate. Of course we can ignore these gossips, but my mother is still living on digital, unless you can make sense of her, and We lived in the south, otherwise she would definitely feel uncomfortable hearing it, you must know that this is not the same as owing money to the bank and being talked about, because doing good deeds and making a bad name is an offense for everyone.”

"You think too much, then we... just put it away."

"Zheng Juan, have you ever heard a saying? It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

"What do you mean teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish?" She was a primary school student, she had never heard of this before, shaking her head like a rattle.

Lin Yue explained: "The meaning is to give fish to others, it is better to teach them how to fish."

Zheng Juan seemed to understand, she shook her head and nodded.

Lin Yue wanted to speak more bluntly, but looking at the road ahead, he found that he had already reached his destination, so he didn't continue.

Although there was a little conflict with Wu Qian at Qiao Chunyan's house last time, for Xiao Guoqing's sake, he left him the keys to the two rooms in Taiping Hutong.

You must know that in the TV series, Wu Qian wanted to sleep on the same kang with her father-in-law because the eight members of Xiao’s family were squeezed into two rooms. Once she locked the door, and her father-in-law couldn’t come in when he was outside, even after calling for a long time. When people drove, they ran to the boiler room of the Second Municipal Hospital to keep warm. As a result, the lowest temperature at night reached minus 33 degrees. He was already sick, so he froze to death.

Did Wu Qian do it on purpose? Lin Yue didn't want to get into the details. Even if what Xiao Guoqing's parents said in 1981 made him unhappy, it was a human life after all, so he couldn't leave it alone, and the house was empty, and someone lived there. It's better than no one lives.

"Boom boom boom~"

Lin Yue knocked on the door.

There was a sound of "Come, come" from the room, and with slightly messy footsteps, Xiao Guoqing opened the door.

"Kun'er, come in, come in quickly." Wanshi called out politely, "Hello, sister-in-law." They were no strangers to Zheng Juan, but this was Zheng Juan's first time attending a party.

Pushing open the door of the inner room, Lin Yue looked up, Sun Chanchao and Yu Hong had arrived, standing near the door, Wu Qian and Qiao Chunyan were there, Cao Debao was missing.

Li Suhua said that last time Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao had a lot of trouble and were about to divorce. In the end, Shen Hongzhi found her and asked her to speak nicely to Qiao Chunyan.

"Brother, sister-in-law, come and sit down." Qiao Chunyan warmly greeted Zheng Juan to go to her side, and took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket to Cong Cong.

Lin Yue knew that Cao Debao had no face, so he didn't mention it, and sat down on the chair to the north.

"Come on, Kun'er hasn't been back for three years, let's make a drink together." Although the house belongs to Zheng Juan, there is no doubt that Xiao Guoqing is the landlord. After pouring it all over, he held it up in the air: "Do it."

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

"..."

The three men and Qiao Chunyan drank the white wine in the cup in one gulp.

Zheng Juan also took a sip, covered her mouth so hot that she frowned and winked, making Qiao Chunyan laugh for a long time.

"Kun'er, how have you been in the south for the past two years?"

You come and I drink a few rounds of wine, Xiao Guoqing is in a good mood.

"It's not bad, no wind, no rain, no hunger, no thirst, life is just a matter of life." This is true for him, the current living conditions are better than before, and Yu Zhengjuan Yan said that was something that he didn't even dare to think about, but from the perspective of a traveler, this is nothing.

Wu Qian drank a few more glasses and talked a lot. Looking at Zheng Juan, she said, "Juan'er, you are lucky to marry such a reliable man. No matter how hard he suffers outside, he can support your mother." In our childhood, his elder brother, the section chief of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, his father, an eighth-grade bricklayer, his sister, a graduate student at Peking University, heard that the state subsidies are higher than the wages of ordinary workers. There are 10 people in your family , 6 earners, and look at us, the timber factory is almost unable to pay wages now, her eldest sister is raising two children by herself, and her second sister has just been fired by the unit, and ran away to her mother's house after being angry at her husband's house , oh, and me... Now our restaurant is contracted to a private person, and a bunch of young and beautiful waiters are recruited. Old employees like me can either buy out their working years at a one-off price, go home early for the elderly, or go home The back kitchen works as a small worker, and there is no bonus, just the basic salary. Guess what the benefits are for this year’s Spring Festival? Two catties of pigs are thrown into the water, yes, and the leftovers that the customers don’t order will be taken home for the New Year.”

In the 1980s, although the supply of meat, poultry and eggs was a little more, ordinary people would still eat carefully. Because fat meat can be refined into oil, it can not only replace vegetable oil for cooking, but also be considered meaty to satisfy hunger. As for pig offal, it is leftovers, difficult to handle and poor in taste. It is recognized as a slow-selling product. Unlike 30 years later, offal can also make delicious food.

Qiao Chunyan said: "Then you make trouble with them. Children who cry will have milk. If you don't make trouble, how can they take you seriously."

"Arguing? With whom? It's a private operation now. If it affects the business of the restaurant, isn't that just an excuse for others to fire you?"

"That's true."

"So now our uncle doesn't love me, and my grandma doesn't love me. It's thanks to Kun'er who let us live in the house in Taiping Hutong. If it's still in his house, I won't want to live if I share a kang with my old father-in-law."

Xiao Guoqing was very embarrassed and didn't dare to make a sound, just lowered his head and drank the wine.

Qiao Chunyan turned her face and looked at Lin Yue: "Brother, why don't you help Wu Qian, after all, she is also an old employee of the state-run hotel. It seems that Jishantang can do something, anyway, it is for people. Working part-time, it’s better to work for your own people than for outsiders.”

Lin Yue took a glance, and saw the little Jiujiu of several people thoroughly.

This is Qiao Chunyan, just to mention it in a hurry, and Wu Qian, on the surface, seems to be complaining, complaining that the boss is not a son of man, but actually telling him all about it.

Yes, at the party in Minfeng Sixth Lane, I said something serious, but then I took Zheng Juan to the south, didn't I feel sorry for the Xiao family's life, and left them the house in Taiping Hutong?

Therefore, she was sure that she had a sharp-mouthed and tofu-hearted character, and deliberately "slipped her words after drinking" to gain sympathy.

As for Xiao Guoqing, he was very guilty and guilty. He knew that his wife was wrong, but he was too embarrassed to tear things down. Wu Qian must have instilled in him a lot of truths like "crying children have milk". Isn't what happened at the dinner party an example? If she hadn't made trouble back then, she wouldn't have lived in a house in Taiping Hutong.

"This...I'm afraid it won't work."

Lin Yue's answer brought the atmosphere down to a freezing point. No one thought that he would reject Qiao Chunyan's proposal so directly. After all, in their view, as a young boy who grew up naked, he owned a restaurant. Isn't it just a matter of arranging Wu Qian to be a waiter?

"The hotel's five-year lease has expired, and Golden Land Magazine is not planning to renew the contract with us, and the word 'Jishantang' can no longer be used."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and it took a long time to come back to it.

What Zhou Bingkun meant was... Jishantang is over?

Xiao Guoqing's face changed, and he slapped his chopsticks on the table: "Kun'er didn't complain to us about such a big incident, how about you? You suffered a little bit of grievance at work, and I wish everyone in the world knew about it. Is it shabby or not? Is it shameful or not?"

Wu Qian was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak.

Lin Yue drank the wine in the glass, stood up and said, "It's Chinese New Year, I didn't want to talk about these bad things..."

He paused and shook his head: "That's it, let's go."

After speaking, he picked up his coat and walked outside with Congcong in his arms.

Speaking of acting, who in this room can play him? This Wu Qian is really tricky, in the past he could make Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao almost divorced, but today he can set their consciences on fire...

Xiao Guoqing pointed his wife for a while, then got up to see her off.

"No, Kun'er, listen to me to explain to you. Everyone doesn't know that you came back because of the economic disputes in Jishantang. Chun Yan'er is also very kind. Wu Qian is all to blame for this matter. If she wasn't talking too much..."

He was also annoyed by the poor efficiency of the wood processing factory, and Wu Qian was blowing pillow wind every day, and he also felt that it would not be difficult for his wife to go to work in Faxiao's restaurant, so he didn't make a sound to stop him. The canteen will be closed immediately, without a yearly income of more than 100,000 yuan, how will Zhou Bingkun's bank loan be repaid? So he was very guilty and ashamed.

"It's okay." Lin Yue said: "At first I didn't want to hide it from you, but I just thought it would be better to talk about it after today. Now that we've gotten to this point, I'll tell you the truth. You don't need to apologize, that's fine. Don't send it away, it's cold outside, go back."

He left with Zheng Juan just like that, leaving Xiao Guoqing with a heavy heart and Sun Chachao who sighed again and again, thanking him for his ill-fated fate and great pressure.

"Bingkun, why don't you help Wu Qian? I think they are really having a hard time."

Zheng Juan didn't ask the question in her heart until she couldn't see Xiao Guoqing. Of course, she knew that the economic dispute in Jishantang was not a big deal to her husband. He also had a construction company in Jichun City, and he wanted to give Wu It is not difficult for Qian to arrange work.

Lin Yue said: "Wu Qian would complain every time we got together. Last time, she said that she couldn't live at home, and she also said how about Xiao Guoqing's sister. In the end, because life was really not easy when she was a child, we put the house in Taiping Hutong. The house was given to them, what happened? The problem of the house was solved, and this time I changed my job, yes, I am willing to help them, but the feeling of being kidnapped by human morality is really uncomfortable.”

But Wu Qian is this kind of person. In the TV series, Zhou Bingkun was deceived and had to move back to the optical film. Obviously, he lent the house to Xiao Guoqing and his wife for the sake of helping others, but he made himself feel bad, and wanted to go back to the house and brought canned fruit to talk about it. Where is Wu Qian? Said that Zhou Bingkun forced them to death and knocked things to the ground.

Zheng Juan looked puzzled: "What is moral kidnapping?"

"Moral kidnapping is...let's say, using our sympathy for her to get something done."

"oh."

Now Zheng Juan understood.

Lin Yue pushed Congcong's hand stroking his beard aside: "But we still have to help, and we have to find a compromise."

She was confused for him. She was upset at one moment and wanted to help at the next, so he thought it would be a one-off.

In fact, Lin Yue has no choice, because the branch task given by the system is to get rich first and get rich later. He doesn't know that the rich later here refers to a broad concept, such as optical film, people from Jichun City? Or even the entire Northeast? It's still a tragic supporting role in TV dramas, so I can only do things with the mentality of Ning mistakenly killing and never letting go. After leaving, Wu Qian wanted Xiao Guoqing, who was unemployed at home, to replace Sun Xiaoning. The bookstore was not owned by Zhou Bingkun. He went to the military factory, found Chang Jinjin's uncle, and arranged for Xiao Guoqing to watch the gate. Wu Qian stopped for a while.

It would be difficult for Ding Xia to get her into the Jishantang, so what he wanted was to be able to complete the task and make Wu Qian behave in a good manner.

...

On the other side, Xiao Guoqing went back to the back room and slapped Wu Qian on the face without saying a word.

"What are you doing? It's fine. I haven't had a meal together for three years. You're the only one with a big face, and you keep talking there. It's okay to say something useful. Look at what you're talking about."

"National Day, National Day, if you have something to say, don't do it." Qiao Chunyan hurried forward to break the fight, and pulled Wu Qian behind her.

"Xiao Guoqing, did I say something wrong? Don't let people talk anymore?"

"Are you talking? That's farting!" At this point, he was still puzzled, picked up the two pairs of chopsticks on the table and threw them over, scaring the two women to scream.

"If it wasn't for you last time, would Cao Debao have fallen out with Bingkun? After that, he will let us live in the house in Taiping Hutong regardless of the past. If you don't appreciate it, it's fine. When he comes back for the New Year, he will call Jishantang again. My idea, is it shameful or not? Is it shameful or not?"

"Don't I just want to have a better job? Am I wrong?"

"You're right. I was wrong. I shouldn't have married you in the first place."

Wu Qian was dumbfounded when she heard him speak so seriously.

"National Day!" Qiao Chunyan glared at him, "Can you say that casually?"

What kind of person is Xiao Guoqing? If you treat him well, he will treat you with all his heart and soul. If you treat him averagely or badly, it means that you don’t agree with each other, and your emotions are all written on your face. Chao is different, and Sun Chaochao is also real, but not as shy as him.

"Then what did you tell Cao Debao?"

Qiao Chunyan suddenly turned into a frosted eggplant.

...

The fourth day of the first month.

Ma Shouchang's house.

"Old lady, don't be too busy. I just drank a lot of tea at home. How about drinking more? It's easy to go to the toilet if you drink too much."

Ma Shouchang was delighted when he heard this: "Is it too young to be immature? Then you should exercise more, you know? I think back when I was your age..."

"Okay, old horse, don't talk about it, what should you do?"

"Hey, look at this old lady, she's really lenient. What's wrong with me talking to Bingkun about the conversation between men? Do you have a problem?"

"Yes, of course." Qu Xiuzhen stuffed a newspaper into Ma Shouchang's arms: "Go to the study and read your newspaper."

"Have you seen it, have you seen it, have a wife..."

Qu Xiuzhen glared at Ma Shouchang, the old man swallowed the rest of the words, angrily took the things and left.

Lin Yue picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the old lady first, and then filled the teacup in front of him. It is no surprise that Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen bickered. No, it should be said that this is the greatest joy of their retirement life .

"Old lady, yesterday I made an appointment with Sun Chachao and the others to come to see you on the fifth day of the lunar new year. Today you asked someone to notify me to come home. Is there something urgent?"

"Some things are inconvenient to say because there are too many people, so I asked Zhou Bingyi to bring you a message and asked you to come over on the fourth day of the lunar new year. What's the matter, I heard that the Golden Land Magazine is going to take advantage of the fire and try to gain control of Jishantang?"

As long as they are not fools, they will understand what the store manager and accountant want to do.

Lin Yue nodded: "How do you know about this?"

"Don't worry about how I know, anyway, they don't care about this matter, so don't worry, I will write a letter to the higher-level department of the magazine after the eighth day of the eighth day, and ask them to rectify this unhealthy trend Evil."

"Old lady, this matter...why are you more anxious than me?"

After hearing this sentence, Qu Xiuzhen was stunned, yes, why does it feel like he is not in a hurry? So he looked him up and down for a while: "What are you thinking?"

"That's what I think..." Lin Yue moved closer to her and whispered a few words.

Qu Xiuzhen's gaze changed when she saw him: "You are too insidious."

Lin Yue said: "Is it sinister? In ancient times, there was a saying of beheading generals and sacrificing flags before going out. I'm already very gentle, okay?"

"Zhou Bingkun, you've been in the south for a few years, and you're good at playing tricks."

"Those Hong Kong and Taiwan businessmen are more cunning than the other. If I don't learn to be smarter, I will be gnawed by them to the bone."

"Makes sense."

...

The fifth day of the first lunar month.

Lin Yue, Xiao Guoqing, Chaochao, Yu Hong, Qiao Chunyan, and Tang Xiangyang came to Ma Shouchang's house.

Cao Debao was absent because he had no face, and Wu Qian was absent because he was angry with Xiao Guoqing.

Well, they didn't mention it, and Tang Xiangyang didn't ask.

"Old lady, let's not talk about whether to pay or not. My biggest worry now is the employees of Jishantang. Look at this closing, dozens of people have lost their income, and behind these dozens of people are dozens of people. Family, I am so worried."

"..."

Qu Xiuzhen admires his acting skills very much, look at that sad expression, anxious eyes, just like TM, if it is not in front of Sun Chanchao and others, she may not be able to suppress the impulse to shoot this actor to death .

"Bingkun, don't worry, there will always be a solution to the problem." Tang Xiangyang said the words of panacea. Last time he was beaten by Cao Debao at the soy sauce factory, he kept thinking about how to ease the relationship with Zhou Bingkun, and waited. After three years, now I finally have the chance.

Sun Chanchao, Xiao Guoqing and others didn't say a word. They knew about this matter last night, and they couldn't help, so they could only keep silent.

"Hey, that's right." Qu Xiuzhen said: "A few days ago, I met a boss from HK, who said he wanted to come to our Northeast to invest, talk about business layout, and asked me if I could help contact some experienced catering companies. Talent, I didn’t think much about it at the time, so I agreed casually. When you said you were worried just now, I remembered this. If Jishantang really can’t be opened, it’s better to introduce the waiter in the store to him. .”

"That's a good relationship, old lady, you really helped me a lot."

"I'm just passing on a message, it's a matter of raising a finger, and it's a matter of raising a finger."

After Qu Xiuzhen said this, she went to the kitchen to help them get oranges to cover up the emotion of being about to laugh. She really didn't know how Zhou Bingkun controlled herself.

At this time, Qiao Chunyan looked at Xiao Guoqing and said, "National Day, isn't your wife an experienced catering talent? The boss from HK must not be more stingy than those self-employed."

"She...is she okay?"

"Why not." Qiao Chunyan said to Sun Chachao again: "And your sister Sun Xiaoning, let her try it too, it's better than wasting away at home, if you can't do it, say you can't do it, brother?"

She moved Lin Yue out, and he naturally nodded in a polite way: "That's right, you'll know if it works and you'll have a try, and there's nothing to lose."

With his support, Qiao Chunyan raised her eyebrows with a smug face, complacent about her cleverness and ability.

Qu Xiuzhen came out with a fruit plate: "I heard everything you said, you can try it, if you are really hired, you must work hard, otherwise there will be no place for my old face."

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chaochao were very happy.

"Don't worry, we will take this job seriously."
