Chapter 19: Homecoming
In 1979, the great pioneers of reform had drawn a circle on the map of our country in the south, since then, Shencheng, a small fishing village, jumped into the eyes of the world, after 25 years of rapid development, today's Shencheng, has completely transformed into a modern city.
Now, 25 years later, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the birth of the great man, in order to commemorate the chief architect of reform and opening up, the Shencheng government has held a grand commemorative event in front of the portrait of the great man on Shennan Avenue and the bronze statue of the great man on Lotus Mountain.
This prosperous world has been as you wished.
Zheng Qian and Ren Xin just got off the plane, they saw the red flags flying all over the city, and after learning the details, the two were also full of feelings, and when they went to the roadside store to buy water, they bought two small red flags by the way.
The red flag was held in the palm of his hand, full of a sense of steadiness, and the two of them were also like other citizens, waving with a smile on their faces, while singing: "We ordinary people are really happy today......
Zheng Qian and Ren Xin are both from Shencheng, this time Lin Qianqian specially granted a week's vacation for the two of them to go home to visit relatives, and the notice from the capital was temporarily put on hold.
The first is to let Zheng Qian attend Andy's concert guests.
The second is to let Zheng Qian relax his brain and engage in creation.
Because in addition to Andy's "17" years old, Zheng Qian also has to create a new song in the next limited time to cope with the next stage of the "Singer" program.
According to the rhetoric of choreographer Ji Haiyang, Zheng Qian will almost record two more episodes before he can reach the finals.
Of course, the premise is that Zheng Qian can successfully advance on the next stage.
This time when he went home, Zheng Qian also rose temporarily, he really wanted to take a look at the family situation in this life, although he had a clear memory in his brain, but if he hadn't been exposed to it, it felt a little unreal.
It's just that unlike Ren Xin, who lives in Futian District, the center of Shenzhen, Zheng Qian's family is in the more remote Gongming Town.
At present, the economy here is relatively backward, the location is remote, and the animal husbandry is relatively developed.
Three years later, it will be specially approved as Guangming New District, which has attracted a number of large enterprises to settle in.
At this time, the housing prices in Futian District have exceeded 10,000, and the housing prices in Gongming Town are still below 3,000, which is as cheap as picking up in vain compared with the housing prices of 40,000 or 50,000 yuan in later generations.
As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Qian's heart was hot, and a few bigwigs wearing old man's vests, pulling slippers, and hanging more than a dozen strings of keys around his waist instantly popped up in his mind.
It's really the ultimate dream of salted fish life!
"Zheng Qian, I just contacted Sister Zhu Huiyun, and she said that she would rehearse in six days! I will contact you then, by the way! I almost forgot!"
Ren Xin suddenly came to her senses while licking the ice cream, took out her wallet from her handbag, took out a stack of banknotes from it and handed it to Zheng Qian: "This is three thousand, don't spend your activity funds for going home this time, call me again if you have something." ”
Zheng Qian's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Sister Xin." ”
"You're welcome. Ren Xin squinted her eyes and licked the ice cream with a look of enjoyment.
Zheng Qian was really not polite, took a step of the banknote and stuffed it into his backpack.
He is a moonlight family, and the notice fee of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan per trip is completely insufficient, and in most cases, the settlement of labor expenses does not exceed 10,000 yuan.
Moreover, he counts the notices he can receive on one hand every month, and sometimes even pastes them upside down, not to mention, there are other messy study and charging expenses.
Therefore, his income can only barely wrap up food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Although you can occasionally make a little money, once you take too big a step, you can only partner with instant noodles.
Zheng Qian didn't complain too much about this, in his opinion, all this is his responsibility, because artists are definitely a high-income group, and they are by no means the hardest type of work, and blindly complaining will only seem incompetent and hypocritical.
"Then I'm leaving. ”
Ren Xin took a taxi and beckoned to Zheng Qian: "Big star, remember to call when you get home." ”
"Okay sister!" Zheng Qian replied obediently: "I will definitely visit Sister Xin's house in two days!"
"Nonsense!"
Ren Xin rolled her eyes and said, "If you dare to come, my father will dare to break your legs!"
Zheng Qian watched the taxi leave, and sighed.
Like Sister Qian, Sister Xin's family does not support Sister Xin's dream of the showbiz......
Zheng Qian helped his sunglasses, put on his backpack, and began to take the airport bus in the direction of Gongming Town.
On the way, he dialed the phone at home, and it took a long time for it to ring.
"Hey, who's that?"
Zheng Qian felt that this voice was a little familiar, but he didn't think about it for a while, and said, "I am Duoduo!
"It's a lot, that's great, how can you have time to call home? I'm your second aunt! Your dad is on the street to buy groceries, and your mom is in the kitchen, wait a while, I'll ask your mom to answer the phone." ”
"Second aunt, no need, I'll go back later, you tell my mother that it's done, and the company will give you a few days off......"
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Qian was in a complicated mood.
At this moment, he is actually far from being as relaxed as he appears, and according to the impression in his memory, his relationship with his family is actually not too harmonious.
Although the parents are oriented towards themselves, and have always supported their own ideas and actions, but in the past few years, everyone has also seen the downfall, high or low, after returning from overseas, they have been drifting north in the capital, and they do not go home once a year.
In this case, the cynicism of relatives is all too commonplace......
......
"Duoduo is coming back! It just so happens that I have to tell him in person. ”
Zheng family, the second aunt Tian Youmei couldn't close her mouth with a smile, looked at the busy sister-in-law in the kitchen, turned around and patted her husband Zheng Zeguang's arm suddenly, and said excitedly: "Look at it, it's better to come early than to come soon!"
"Be quiet!"
Zheng Zeguang is middle-aged, his figure is out of shape, although his eyebrows and eyes are vaguely handsome, but his face is full of horizontal meat.
At this moment, his face was a little annoyed, and he lowered his voice and said, "How nice is it for you to spread the news of the door upside down? I'm embarrassed to tell my eldest brother!"
"You're embarrassed to talk about it, I'll tell you!"
Tian Youmei smiled and snorted coldly: "Director Zhang is just this girl, she still works in the vehicle management office, and she has an iron job, and the family is so rich, how much can you lose? ”
"Duoduo has always wanted to be a star, and you don't know it. ”
Zheng Zeguang said: "He said before that he has no intention of getting married before the age of 30!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Tian Youmei pinched her husband's arm hatefully, and her face was full of hatred: "You don't look at the conditions of the eldest brother's family, what kind of star to be?" Back then, I said that this road would not work, and you all supported it vigorously, you said that it has been a few years? What is Duoduo mixed into, you don't know in your heart? Don't keep thinking about daydreaming, it's better to settle down!" The eldest brother's family can be in-laws with Director Zhang, it is already Gao Pan, don't know what to do, and this man should marry and the woman should marry, it is natural, many young people are not sensible, and you are also talking nonsense?"
"I won't say it anyway. Zheng Zeguang said with a stiff neck.
"What a mess!"
Tian Youmei nodded Zheng Zeguang's head vigorously, "You are ashamed to say, I'll tell you!"
