Returning home in the evening, Lin Chaoyang found Tao's father talking to someone. He knew the man opposite him and almost blurted out the word "Lao Deng".
After the game of chess was played and it was almost time to eat, Father Tao introduced Lin Chaoyang to the old man.
"Brother Guang Qian, this is Yu Shu's husband. His name is Lin Chaoyang and he works in the library."
"Hello, Professor Zhu!" Lin Chaoyang called out respectfully.
Zhu Guangqian was smiling, with wrinkles on his face, like an old fox.
"I met him when I went to the library that day. It's really a fate. Call me professor and you won't see me outside. Let's call him uncle."
"Hello, Uncle Zhu!" Lin Chaoyang called again.
The old man nodded with satisfaction, "A girl with a mediocre appearance and a jade book is really not that interesting."
Lao Deng, you have a venomous mouth. Why do you nod your head when you say "you're average in appearance"?
"But I have good taste. Being able to marry this girl Yushu is a good material for studying aesthetics!"
This sounds like a human saying!
But when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong. Lao Deng was giving a stick to a sweet date, so he couldn't be fooled.
Lin Chaoyang called Lao Deng in his heart, but he still had a well-behaved look on his face.
Who told the man in front of me to be a mountain monster?
The founder of Chinese aesthetics education!
This title alone can instantly kill more than 99% of China’s cultural people.
This time Lin Chaoyang finally knew why the old man went to the library to amuse himself that day. He was a close friend of Tao's father.
Because of Zhu Guangqian's arrival, the Tao family had a particularly sumptuous dinner today. Before the meal, Tao Yumo's eyes glowed green as he stared at the sumptuous dishes.
"Drink some, drink some."
As soon as Zhu Guangqian sat down, he urged Tao's father, but Tao's father said: "Before you come, I have a guarantee with your family."
"They're not here."
"Do you think they can't smell it after drinking?" Tao's father asked again.
"Let's make a pot of tea before we go. I don't want to drink too much."
It seems that the old man is already a habitual criminal and is very skilled in committing crimes.
Father Tao couldn't resist him, so he brought two small wine cups, each worth three dollars, "Just three cups!"
"Yushu, in a few years you have to watch your dad more closely and not let him drink secretly."
Zhu Guangqian confided his dissatisfaction with Tao's father to Tao Yushu. Tao Yushu smiled and said: "Uncle Zhu, my father is not as addicted to alcohol as you are!"
"This girl is really not as cute as she was when she was a child."
After dinner, Zhu Guangqian drank a pot of tea. Before leaving, he put his hand in front of his mouth and took a breath to make sure he didn't smell alcohol before going out.
Lin Chaoyang thought of the previous "braised pork" incident and wondered whether the Tao Yushu sisters had learned from him since childhood.
The old saying is true, if you are close to "Zhu", you will be red.
Zhu Guangqian's family lived in Yannanyuan, which was some distance away from Langrunyuan. Tao's father asked his uncle to send him home.
After returning to the house in the evening, Lin Chaoyang handed the movie tickets he bought from Liu Zhenyun to Tao Yushu.
"Where did it come from?" Tao Yushu asked.
Lin Chaoyang then told Liu Zhenyun and other Chinese students about the work-study program, "They are all domestic movies, and my parents should also be interested in them."
"Is this the beginning of flattery?"
"Inspiration from my uncle. No matter what flattering is, this is enriching your spare time life and strengthening the construction of spiritual civilization. Your awareness still needs to be improved."
"Humph!" Tao Yushu wrinkled his nose at him and happily accepted the movie ticket.
Inviting family members to watch a movie seems a bit too pragmatic in future generations.
However, there is indeed a lack of entertainment activities for ordinary people these days, and watching movies is almost the most popular form of entertainment.
In the upcoming year 1979, the Chinese film industry has set a world record of 29.3 billion moviegoers.
This is not only an unprecedented and unparalleled record, but also one of the most remarkable in the history of world cinema.
Calculated based on China's population of 7.5 billion in 1979, each Chinese person watched an average of 30 movies this year. This was the true peak moment of the Chinese film market.
Lin Chaoyang got so many movie tickets for his family, and he really found a good entertainment activity for everyone.
After Tao Yushu gave the movie tickets to his family, Lin Chaoyang could clearly feel that the atmosphere at home became happier.
Especially my sister-in-law Tao Yumo. She was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who loved to play. Watching movies made her so happy. She even sneakily found Tao Yushu and asked if she could get another ticket. She wanted to invite her classmates to join her.
look.
Tao Yushu's first reaction was: "Male or female?"
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Tao Yumo said with a shy face, "Of course she is a female classmate."
"What's your guilty conscience? I'm just asking."
"Who feels guilty?"
Tao Yumo begged and got two movie tickets from her sister.
After she left, Lin Chaoyang said proudly: "Now there are friends everywhere in this house."
Tao Yushu said sarcastically: "My mother is worth ten."
"Your mother's fighting ability is strong, but she has no comrades, so she can't stand alone. It's the secret of victory to make many friends and only a few enemies."
"Nonsense! Don't go out and talk nonsense with your mouth."
Two more days passed, and it was almost the New Year's Eve.
Lin Chaoyang received a package from his parents' hometown in Northeast China. It was full of mountain products, weighing at least ten kilograms and dried in the sun. It was enough to feed the Tao family for half a year. There was also a letter with the package.
The old couple and Tao Yushu had an idea, and wrote in the letter that Tao Yushu only came back in mid-August last time. The interval was short and there was no need to go back during the Chinese New Year, so that the young couple could save some travel expenses.
These mountain products are sent to my parents-in-law for the Chinese New Year. I want to add some food to my family and write whatever I like to eat. There is nothing else in the Northeast, but there are a lot of mountain products.
That night, Tao Yushu showed a large bag of mountain products to the Tao family.
Nowadays, people's living conditions and material standards are far less rich than those of later generations, even in Yanjing. A large bag of wild goods from the mountains and forests of Northeast China is spread out on the table, which attracts the Tao family's attention.
"This bag must be worth sixty or seventy yuan at least, right?" said the uncle.
Northeastern mountain products may sound cheap, but they are really not cheap, especially in this era where artificial breeding has not yet occurred.
And because they are all air-dried and sun-dried, the actual portion is much more than what everyone sees.
Brother Tao Yucheng and Tao Yumo's eyes glowed green when they looked at the wild product. This big bag of wild product not only contained fungi such as black fungus, Hericium, hazel mushroom, but also two dried pheasants.
How delicious it would be if cooked into a dish!
Tao Yushu conveyed the instructions in the letter from the two elders of the Lin family to Tao's father, his expression full of pride.
"How embarrassing it is for us to have our father-in-law and mother-in-law spend money." Tao's father said to Lin Chaoyang.
"Dad, we are all one family. What you said is too polite."
Whether it was Tao's father, Lin Chaoyang, or the Tao family, they all understood that Lin Erchun and his wife sent these things not only to send a gift to the in-laws, but also to express gratitude to the Tao family for taking care of and tolerating their son.
Usually giving things is too deliberate, but now that the Chinese New Year is coming, this gift seems thoughtful and considerate.
"When you reply to your letter, thank your parents for our whole family." Tao's father looked thoughtful and said: "Since I won't go back to my hometown this year, I will stay at home to celebrate the New Year. You two have been married for almost a year, and the wedding has not been held. The two families
I haven't even met each other, so it doesn't make sense. Let's wait and find a time next year and let's take a trip to the Northeast."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Chaoyang was slightly surprised, Tao Yushu raised his eyebrows with joy, but Tao's mother, who had been silent, her face immediately darkened.
But no matter how dissatisfied she was, Tao's father was the one who talked about everything in the family after all, so she would never object on the spot.
Lin Chaoyang peeked at Tao's mother's reaction. Don't be afraid of offending people in the workplace. The key is to work with the right person.
