Chapter 89: Winter 1995(1/2)

At the end of the semester, Aomame went to meet two people without stopping.

Of course one was Hu Zi. Hu Zi who had just entered the prison was very exclusive and in a very emotional state. He refused to see anyone. After thinking about it later, he made it seem like he was having an audience with a court official. If Aomame didn't go for a while, he would

I want to scold her for being heartless.

It was as if she owed him from birth.

Forget it, just consider it as something you owe him.

The other one is Afterglow.

As usual, he cares about his junior Aomame, how is his study of script writing going?

Aomame was respectful and answered truthfully: "I borrowed several copies of the supplement to "Sprouting" that you recommended. I read a few of the scripts and was obsessed with them for a while. At one time, I felt that writing scripts was so close to me. But I only know it when I practice it.

, I am always a layman. I can write novels how I want to, but I have to think a lot about scripts."

She was afraid that Teacher Yu would think she was giving up halfway, and was embarrassed to say that she was half-giving up. After all, when she was applying for a certificate to borrow books, she was immersed in her dreams and vowed to make countless ambitions.

Teacher Yu nodded and understood her difficulty: "The first script is the most difficult. How to write it, who will read it, and what will happen after reading it? These uncertainties are too great, making creation like gambling.

"

"Without relevant experience and background and famous works, it takes luck to directly become a screenwriter. Film and television are much more complicated than our literature. There is no way, and no matter how good the script is, it is just a piece of paper. In their circle, it is popular to ask for help and matchmaking, but there is no

It is not uncommon for people with connections to pay ten times the price of a horse to hire someone to look after the horse."

After Yu Huizhi said this, Aomame's heart quickly died. When it comes to money, she is very pragmatic.

Seeing Qingdou's sad face, Yuhuizhi took a sip of tea and smiled to comfort her: "I'm not trying to discourage you, you have this talent. But you're only in your early 10s, don't be in a hurry. I know the old director of Shanghai Film Factory during the New Year.

When I visited, I mentioned that a co-author wanted to write a script, but there was no way out, so he suggested that you start as a literary editor. I think you can give it a try. Many famous screenwriters in China came from that position.

of."

There has been a recent wave of layoffs in state-owned enterprises, distribution is getting tighter and tighter, and there are few good units.

With the expansion of university enrollment, the value of college students has dropped significantly. The instructors also sighed, saying that these college students who graduated in 1959 and 1959 have entered the job, and their future is uncertain. The iron rice bowl can be lost at the drop of a hat, and there are too many variables.

Aomame was eager to give it a try, but she couldn't make up her mind. Being a literary editor meant giving up her profession. This was her future to support her family.

Of course, the job of supporting a family is also full of uncertainties.

Aomame thanked Yuhuizhi and was very worried as she accepted the more than 30 letters from readers collected by the editorial department.

Walking in Nancheng, Aomame felt like a walking question mark.

Wu Huiping did not work during the New Year, saying that she would go home to celebrate the New Year. No matter how many delicacies the villagers had seen outside, they were still thinking about the two acres of land in their hometown. She thought of the rotten cabbage in her field and no one would eat it, and she was still flowering here.

Spending money to buy Chinese cabbage makes me feel uncomfortable.

Qingsong thought, since Dongdong was born, he had never been to the countryside, and his home was spacious and lively, so why not the whole family went back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.

When Qingdou returned home, everyone had already made their decision and were packing up and buying new year's goods.

Qing Zhi packed her treasure in a bag and wanted to go home to show it to her classmates.

Qingdou calmed down and saw that the bed was spread out in a mess, and the dance shoes were still in the bag. It seemed that they had not been moved for a week. She asked Qingzhi: "I am going to the Children's Palace tomorrow, how is your dance practice?"

Qing Zhi didn't even look at her and continued to pack her things.

This girl knows how to deal with the wind and knows that Qingdou is not very good, so she doesn't take her words seriously. As a result, Qingdou can only learn the villain's tricks: "Mom - has Qingzhi practiced dancing at home this week?"

Qing Zhi put down her things in a hurry and pushed her, not allowing her to call Wu Huiping: "I know, I know!"

Wu Huiping is a really ruthless person, and she shows no mercy when beating Qing Zhi. Sometimes Feng Rongrong is so angry that she sweats, and when she hears the crackling sound of Qing Zhi being beaten into her flesh, she becomes soft-hearted. This shows that this mother beat her a lot.

ruthless.

Every day Qing Zhi thinks that Wu Huiping will be a live-in nanny again and disappear from her life.

Qingdou clapped his hands on the back and said anxiously: "The tuition fee is two hundred for one semester. If you don't study, you won't be able to pay for it next time!"

Qing Zhi stretched one leg on the table and clapped her hands, saying, "If you don't report it, you won't report it. You do what you say!"

Qingdou had no choice but to defeat her, so he could only show a serious attitude and shouted again: "Mom——" This was the yamen's solemn gavel!

As expected, the bastard was so angry that he pursed his lips, not daring to contradict his sister. He twisted his head and stretched while facing the wall, not even looking at Aomame.

In October 1994, Santana 2000 was sold for the first time in Nancheng, priced at 190,000 yuan, with a limited edition of 15 units. People were overjoyed when they saw the news in Nancheng Daily, and rushed to tell others. They couldn't afford it but wanted to watch it.

.

In fact, these fifteen cars had already been ordered. Celebrities squeezed their connections and asked people to hire people. The number of cars was secretly increased to nineteen.

Gu Xiezhi brought back more than 100,000 yuan from abroad. Before returning to China, he negotiated to buy a house in Nancheng Garden. Later, he was successfully assigned a new house by a professor, and the money was left in the bank.

Before Gu Yi returned home, he mentioned the reservation of Santana on the phone: "There is a quota for buying a car in the school. I asked, but I didn't want it. I heard it's quite popular."

Gu Yi, who loves cars so much, urged Gu Xiezhi to buy it quickly. Gu Xiezhi thought about it, his son was about to graduate, and he would definitely need a car for his future marriage, so it wouldn't be a loss if he bought it. He said on the phone, that's fine, he'll talk to Zou Yuxin later.

Discuss it.

When Gu Yi heard this, he discussed with Zou Yuxin that this batch would definitely not be able to catch up.

Zou Yuxin is a cautious person. When she spends more than 100,000 yuan, she has to conduct oral market research with at least 50 relatives, friends and colleagues, which lasts for several years. It is not necessary. That was how she bought a refrigerator back then. She thought it was not enough to follow the trend, so she went to department stores to snap up purchases.

She couldn't win over her. Gu Yi had been fooled by her and encouraged Gu Xiezhi to kill her first and then show her off. The two men hit it off immediately, so they had to act on impulse when buying things.

Very good. On January 18, 1995, the only Santana spot at Nancheng University fell to the Gu family. On the day when the car was picked up, the whole school became aware of it.

Zou Yuxin found out later than the teachers around her. When others came to congratulate her, she looked blank.

After the quarrel that night, Gu Yi didn't talk to Gu Xiezhi for a few days. Dinner at home was done in batches, with Zou Yuxin and Gu Yi in the same group, while Gu Xiezhi had a separate kitchen, avoiding each other in an orderly manner. This eating order had been deadlocked before.

After a while, they all got used to it.

Gu Xiezhi and Zou Yu were tired of untying the knot of their marriage, so they took their time to put it aside. The only one who felt uncomfortable was Gu Yi, who was caught in the middle.

The father and son finally broke the deadlock on the day they picked up the car. The car had a good brand, the steering wheel was not yet warm, and they drove home with just two feet on the accelerator.

As expected, what greeted him was Zou Yu's heart beating like thunder.

She couldn't believe that the father and son just spent 200,000 yuan. This was Gu Meng's dowry and Gu Yi's bride price, and now they exchanged it for a car of unknown origin.

Gu Yi squeezed Zou Yuxin's thin shoulders and led her around the car three times.

She was so angry that she wanted to take quick-acting Jiuxin Pills. She didn't know why he was so playful and smiling.

Gu Yi: "Don't you notice anything different?"

Zou Yuxin: "What?"

Gu Yi pointed to the license plate, "Look at the license plate number! 061888! We chose it specially."

It's June 18th, her birthday. The father and son chose it to fool her.

Zou Yuxin was completely ungrateful, and she rubbed her heart and became angry: "Why not choose 666888 if you can? What did you choose? Why is there an odd number!"

Because of this bad thing, the father and son were criticized by her for three days. Some things were confused and seemed to be revealed. Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was over, but Gu Meng came back and raised the roof again.

She said on the phone that when she came back for the New Year, Zou Yu wished she could bring all the good New Year's goods from Nancheng home, and live happily every day, emptying the room.

Unexpectedly, the family drove to the train station to pick someone up, and Gu Meng didn't come back alone at all. She also brought her skinny boyfriend.

She introduced her to relatives and neighbors so generously that Zou Yuxin and Gu Xiezhi couldn't even raise their heads.

To be honest, not only his parents, but also Gu Yi felt that the man was too thin and even more sluggish than the reform-through-labor prisoners he met in the first prison.

Gu Meng was raised by her grandparents, and they could not accept her having such a boyfriend.

The two old men had worked in the ivory tower all their lives and were not good at pleasing others. They showed their displeasure directly on their faces at the dinner table and asked Gu Meng to finish the work in Beijing and return to Nancheng.

Gu Meng didn't talk back to her face, but the atmosphere during the meal was frighteningly tense. As a big eater, Gu Yi only ate half of the bowl of rice, and the others didn't even move their chopsticks.

Zou Yu didn't want Gu Meng to be unhappy, but she brought him back without saying hello, clearly showing her displeasure with her and Gu Xiezhi.

She asked Gu Yi, what did Gu Meng like in that man?

Gu Yi didn't know either. He couldn't see his ability from above and below, but when he passed the door of the room and heard the man strumming the strings and playing the piano, he still felt some charm. Maybe girls like these coloraturas.

Zou Yu sighed in her heart and was about to cry without tears: "Don't be angry with me when you find a partner in the future, I will really get a heart attack."

Gu Yi's face was expressionless: "Heart disease doesn't come from anger. If you have this disease, you have it. If you don't have it, you don't have it."

""Zou Yuxin put his hands on his forehead, speechless.

She wanted to stuff them back into her belly and go back to before having children, oh, no, before getting married...

After a while, Gu Yi nudged her: "What do you want?"

"Ah?" Zou Yuxin didn't react for a moment. How could Gu Yi, a man of few words, take the initiative to ask her such a thing.

He turned his head without looking at her, rubbed his nose and said, "Daughter-in-law."

Zou Yuxin glanced at him, and her chest felt tight again.

She ignored him and turned around to go to the kitchen.

Upstairs, Heizi, Gu Meng's boyfriend, was playing the piano and rehearsing the New Year's Eve program.
