Chapter 16: Leaving Home

Xu Wangqiu and they wandered around the street for a day, and when they got home, it was almost six o'clock.

After his father and mother came back, Xu Wangqiu took out the clothes he bought for them. When the father took over the things from Xu Wangqiu, he was very happy and felt that his son was sensible. Xie Chunhong took the clothes and looked at them over and over, and then blamed: "How do you spend money indiscriminately, you should save money and use it for your daughter-in-law in the future!"

Xu Wangqiu smiled when he heard this: "Mom, don't worry about your daughter-in-law, just rely on your son's talent, will you not be able to marry a daughter-in-law?" Let me tell you this, when the time comes, Wu Haiyan and Li Xiuming will rush to be your daughter-in-law. ”

Xie Chunhong glared at Xu Wang, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you bring Wu Haiyan and Li Xiuming back for me!"

Xu Wangqiu did not forget his brother Xu Wangchuan, not only gave him the shirt, but also gave him the rest of the cloth tickets and industrial vouchers. My brother is now a person who has a girlfriend, and if these tickets are scattered, the daughter-in-law may be in hand.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Xu Wangqiu took Xu Wangbei out. Before the bus arrived at the platform of Xiuying Studio, Xu Wangqiu saw Su Bai under the stop sign. She was wearing a white shirt and yellow skirt given by Xu Wangqiu, and she stood out in the blue and green. She stood quietly under the stop sign, fresh and natural, with a bright atmosphere in her expression.

Su Bai is not the kind of beautiful woman who is suffocatingly beautiful, it will make many people think of the girl they met in school, always sitting quietly not far from you, you will be happy because you see her, you will be distracted by looking at her, you will guess what she is thinking, you can't help but smile;

Xu Wangbei leaned out of the car window and waved vigorously at Su Bai: "Sister Su Bai, Sister Su Bai, we are here!"

Su Bai smiled when he saw Xu Wangbei and Xu Wangqiu, and that smile was very beautiful, like an early summer afternoon, with sunshine and a breeze.

The bus stopped, Su Bai stepped onto the bus, and the men in the carriage were all looking at her. The white shirt on Su Bai's body was a little transparent, and he could faintly see the small vest inside, and the eyes of several men in the car were straight.

Xu Wangqiu and Xu Wangbei sat in the front and back rows, and after Su Bai got in the car, he did not sit with Xu Wangbei, but sat next to Xu Wangqiu. She smiled at Xu Wangqiu and said, "Wangqiu, thank you." ”

Xu Wangqiu's eyes swept down the carriage, and when he saw many men peeking at Su Bai, he sighed: "I feel like I have done a big mistake." It's a pity, it's a pity, a hundred years of Peking University is going to be flooded with saliva. Oh my God, I'm a sinner of history!"

Su Bai was stunned by Xu Wangqiu's inexplicable words: "Why is Peking University flooded with saliva?"

Xu Wangqiu shook his head and sighed: "Because you appeared on the campus of Peking University, when the boys of Peking University saw you, they must be drooling, and thousands of Peking University boys drooled together, so Peking University was flooded with saliva." ”

A few men who peeked at Su Bai hurriedly turned their eyes away, how did this sound like sarcasm for themselves.

Su Bai sneered: "The boys in our school are not like you said." This is a disguised compliment on my good looks, Su Bai was very happy in his heart, and said with a straight face: "Hmph, you say bad things about them, if they hear it, they have to beat you." ”

Xu Wangqiu said with a hippie smile: "Then senior sister, will you protect it?"

Su Bai smiled and waved his fist at Xu Wangqiu: "I will beat them together." ”

When Xu Wangbei heard that Su Bai was going to beat his brother, he turned back to Xu Wangqiu and said, "Second brother, I will protect you." ”

Xu Wangqiu laughed and touched Xu Wangbei's head: "Senior sister or something is fake, and it is really my sister who is the best." ”

In the following days, Xu Wangqiu and the three of them wandered around Rongcheng all day long, sweeping the food in Rongcheng. Dandan noodles at the entrance of the Cultural Palace, Zhong Shui dumplings on Zongfu Road, Long Zhaoshou at the south exit of Chunxi Road, beef burnt cakes at the south exit of Nanxin Street, Tan Douhua opposite the people's shopping mall, etc., these snacks are cheap and delicious, for foodies, Rongcheng is really a city that you don't want to leave when you come.

In addition to going to various snack bars, Xu Wangqiu and the others also went to the top Furong restaurant in Rongcheng to have a luxurious handful. Furong Restaurant is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Rongcheng, and it is the first choice for people in Rongcheng to treat guests. At the beginning, for the opening of Furong Restaurant, dozens of special chefs were specially recruited from various famous restaurants in Rongcheng, and these people are all top Sichuan cuisine masters, which can be described as a gathering of famous chefs.

After entering the Furong Restaurant, Su Bai and Xu Wangbei were stunned, what shocked them was not the luxurious lobby, but the big menu in the lobby. The dishes in the Furong restaurant are basically a few yuan a piece, and the expensive ones cost dozens, such as "hibiscus carp" costs 20 yuan.

An ordinary worker's salary is only a few tens of yuan, and a dish is 20 yuan! This price is really ridiculously high!

Xu Wangbei thought to himself that for 20 yuan, he could buy a lot of beautiful elastic bands and beautiful hairpins, and he could wear them every day. Su Bai thought to himself, clothes and skirts can be changed, this price is really outrageous.

Xu Wangbei stretched out his hand and tugged at Xu Wangqiu's sleeve: "Second brother, the things here are too expensive, let's go eat elsewhere!"

Su Bai also nodded: "It's really too expensive, don't eat here." ”

Xu Wangqiu chuckled: "It's just a meal, not every day." It's okay, I'll have more money soon. ”

Xu Wangqiu just said casually, but he didn't think that two days later, someone would really send money to the door, and the leaders of the Xichuan People's Art Theater came to the door, and they took a fancy to "Mom Loves Me Once", hoping to put this story on the stage of the drama.

Xu Wangqiu didn't know much about dramas, so he asked about the remuneration and learned that the remuneration for large-scale dramas was 600 to 1,000 yuan per piece, and as a screenwriter, he could also take a cut from the drama performances, and after 10 performances, he would be paid according to the proportion, of which the large-scale drama was 2% of the income ratio.

Xu Wangqiu feels that writing a drama script is more cost-effective than writing a movie script, and although the salary for the drama is lower, it can be commissioned. If a large-scale drama is performed, the ticket income is almost 500 yuan, Zhang Ran can get a commission of 10 yuan, if he performs 100 performances, then Zhang Ran can get an income of 1,000 yuan; and this is a long-term income, in the future, the troupe will perform this play, Xu Wangqiu can get a commission.

Xu Wangqiu thinks that movies should be like this, and Hollywood screenwriters can participate in the sharing, so that screenwriters can concentrate on creation and strive to write good scripts. However, the domestic film industry is now adopting a policy of unified purchase and sales, not to mention that screenwriters cannot participate in the sharing, even film studios are not eligible to participate in the sharing. Not only that, the copyright of the film belongs to China Film Company, and the income from the sale of copyright overseas of the film, or the income from the sale of the film to the TV station, has nothing to do with the film studio.

Changing "Mom Loves Me Again" into a drama can bring a lot of income, and Xu Wangqiu naturally couldn't miss it, so he announced that the food trip was over for the time being, and he was going to be busy with business.

Xu Wangqiu changed "Mom Loves Me Again" from a film literary script to a drama script in three days, and then, with the assistance of the literary editor of the repertory troupe and director Chen Fu, he revised and adjusted the script. It wasn't until September that the final script of the drama "Mom Loves Me Again" was completely finalized.

At this time, Su Bai had already gone to school in Beiping, and Xu Wangbei had also started school, so Xu Wangqiu could only continue the food journey alone. It's just that after shopping alone for two days, Xu Wangqiu felt very bored, so he gave up, and sure enough, it was better to be happy alone than to be happy.

At this moment, Xu Wangqiu received a package from the People's Literature Magazine, which contained more than 5,000 letters from readers.

Xu Wangqiu was shocked by the letter from Xiaoshan, he knew that "Mom Loves Me Again" would be popular after it was made into a movie, and the film in the previous life caused a sensation in China and achieved an astonishing box office of more than 100 million, but he didn't expect that the film literary script would be so popular after it was published, let alone that so many readers would write to him.

When you think about it, it's not surprising that this happens. During this period, there were many literary works that caused a sensation across the country, but the standard was not very good, such as Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher" and Lu Xinhua's "Scars". These works can become popular not because of how good the works are, but because people have just come out of the cultural famine, are spiritually empty, need cultural filling, and the thirst for literary works is unprecedented. It's like a person who has been hungry for three days, even if the food is bad, it is delicious in his eyes.

In fact, "Mom Loves Me Again" caused a greater sensation than Xu Wangqiu imagined, and more than a dozen provincial and municipal radio stations across the country have broadcast it. Xinhua News Agency and China News Service broadcast news one after another, and reporters from Agence France-Presse and Associated Press in Beijing even reported to the outside world: "People's Literature published 'Mom Loves Me Again', which shows that there are literary works in China that expose the evils of the movement." ”

Xu Wangqiu spent a week reading more than 5,000 letters, from educated youths, workers, soldiers, doctors, college students, and middle school students. In these letters, some readers confided in Xu Wangqiu about their fate and experience similar to that of Lin Weiguo, the protagonist of the novel, and thanked Xu Wangqiu for writing their hearts; some wrote to Xu Wangqiu to discuss the artistic strengths and weaknesses of "Mom Loves Me Again"; and some literature lovers sent their studies to Xu Wangqiu, hoping that Xu Wangqiu would give them guidance......

Xu Wangqiu regretted in his heart that the literary young women of this era were too conservative, and no one sent photos, or courted or anything. Xu Wangqiu didn't reply to the letter, he couldn't reply to so many letters, and school was about to start, so he still had to go to exchange food stamps, transfer household registration, and go through various procedures.

The night before leaving for Beiping, Xie Chunhong handed over the newly knitted sweater and woolen pants to Xu Wangqiu, and said with satisfaction that he was in a hurry and finally finished. It is said that sweaters and pants are not actually knitted with woolen thread, but with glove thread. Every month, the factory distributes one or two pairs of white gloves, and the female workers dismantle the gloves and use the glove thread to knit sweaters and pants for their families.

Only then did Xu Wangqiu know why his mother had been busy knitting sweaters recently, and it turned out that she had prepared it for herself. When he used to read "The Wanderer's Yin", he didn't have much feeling, but at this moment he really realized what it means to "have a line in the hands of a loving mother and a wanderer's shirt".

The next morning, Xu Wangqiu packed the quilt with the luggage belt of the army's backpack, packed the clothes into a rattan box, and packed the basin, towels and other daily necessities in a nylon net pocket, and prepared to set off. At present, the school does not provide cotton wool and duvet covers, so you need to prepare them yourself. When students in this era go to college, they all go to school with their own bedding rolls.

Xu Wangbei was reluctant to let Xu Wangqiu go, hugging him and crying.

Xu Wangqiu wiped away the tears on his sister's face and said softly: "We Wangbei are little beauties, how ugly it is to cry! ”

After comforting his sister, Xu Wangqiu couldn't comfort Xie Chunhong, who couldn't wipe her tears: "Mom, you don't know, Peking Film Academy and Beijing Film Studio are very close, maybe I will kidnap Li Xiuming back for you during the Spring Festival." ”

If it was usual, Xie Chunhong would definitely laugh, and then scolded Xu Wangqiu with a straight face for talking nonsense, but now he couldn't laugh, and said: "When you go to Beiping, you have to learn to take care of yourself, and write a letter to your family if you have something." ”

Xu Wangqiu snorted, put a roll on his back, and said to Xu Wangchuan: "Brother, let's go." ”
