Chapter 34: Good Things [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!]
Qingyundian Town, located in the southeast of Beijing, covers an area of 70.3 square kilometers.
The old story of the ancient town began in the Yuan Dynasty, was built in the Ming Dynasty, and developed in the Qing Dynasty. The superior geographical location made the emperors have set up local administrative institutions here, and the soldiers and grain have been stationed for 500 years, it has experienced the prosperity and prosperity of ancient Chinese agricultural civilization, and the inscription of Zhenwu Temple in Jiaqing year records that it is "the giant town of southern Beijing".
It is also a post station for the ancient southern people and literati to enter Beijing to take the examination, and has left many relics of temples, steles and pavilions that can be examined in history.
Gaozhuang Village in Qingyundian is Gao Ge's hometown, and Gao's father and mother still live in the old house.
The old couple is not willing to let go of the neighbors in the village when they are old, and they always stay in the city for two days and then come back in a hurry, either because they are afraid that the captive ducks and geese will not be fed well, or because they are afraid that the old dog in the yard will be stolen by the dog dealers.
So during the New Year's holidays or when there is nothing to do on weekends, Gao Ge will always bring his daughter Yaya back to have a look, and she is the right to be a farmhouse.
Daughter Yaya likes the earth dog very much, and I still remember that when Yaya was a little younger, she went back to her hometown and was chased by geese all over the yard, and the sensible old earth dog immediately blocked in front of her.
Because it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a while, Gao Ge came back this time with a trunk full of gifts.
When Gao's father was young, he had two hobbies: smoking and drinking.
After getting older, he was forced to quit smoking by Gao's mother because of physical reasons, but as a wine worm for most of his life, he really couldn't quit this alcohol, so he had to strictly control the amount of alcohol he drank every week.
Early in the morning, Gao Ge bought a box of wine from Xingtang Mall and put it in the trunk, and loaded the gifts he bought for Gao's mother, and then drove on the road to Qingyun Store.
Because of the traffic jam on the way back, it took nearly an hour to stop and go before driving into the village. After entering the village, Gao Ge pressed the car window, and the uncles and aunts who watched him grow up along the way smiled and talked to him when they saw Gao Ge.
As soon as I entered the village, I met an acquaintance.
"Uncle Liu!"
"Kodaka's back?"
"Eh, how are you doing lately?"
Uncle Liu said happily, "Okay, come back and bring wine to your father, right?"
Hearing this, Gao Ge nodded and said, "The old man has this hobby left, and he can't be deprived of it." ”
"Your mother is strict, at most one drink a week, and in the end, it will be cheaper for us old guys. The more Uncle Liu spoke, the more he felt Coke, "Okay, let's stop talking, you can go back quickly." ”
"Okay, then you have to come to our house for dinner. ”
"In the future, it is indispensable to rub wine and drink, okay, you can go back quickly. ”
Parking the car at the door, Gao Ge came down and carried wine and tonic into the yard, and the earth dog who heard the owner's footsteps early immediately greeted him, and the earth dog was not small, and he came to him with a swaying step and rubbed his trouser legs.
Gao Ge put the thing on the ground and touched its head, and the earth dog seemed more intimate.
Looking around at the yard, the idle old couple kept the yard in good order, and the yard with a sense of age looked exceptionally clean and tidy. The two persimmon trees outside the courtyard wall are also hung with fruits, swaying in the wind like small lanterns, and they should be able to be picked before and after the frost falls.
"Mom, I'm back. ”
Hearing the movement in the yard, Gao's mother saw her son coming back through the window of the back room, and she immediately walked out of the back room while she was watching TV, and a smile appeared on her face for a moment, and she said in surprise, "Are you back?"
As she spoke, Gao Mu looked behind him, "You came back by yourself?"
As the old saying goes, children are close to each other, and this is vividly reflected in the high father and mother.
"Stay at her mom's for a few days. Gao Ge explained as he moved the wine to the kitchen.
Hearing that her granddaughter didn't come back, Gao's mother looked at Gao Ge's eyes wrong, how could she look at her son unpleasantly, and even the gifts he brought back had to count a few words, "Buy wine for your dad again, there is more than one bottle in the box you brought back last time, buy and buy to buy, do you know if you buy and buy, and the family has become a wine cellar?"
In this regard, Gao Ge just silently moved things to the kitchen, count them down, count them, and they won't lose their skin when they are so adults.
"Where's my dad?"
"Dead outside!"
The old couple who have been fighting all their lives are still like 'enemies'.
As he spoke, the 'dead and resurrected' father walked in with his hands behind his back and walked in with the old man's steps, followed by an acquaintance.
"Dad. ”
Gao Ge looked at the person behind him again, "Brother Ren, are you back today?"
"Xiao Rengang is still talking about you, I haven't seen you for a long time after the Chinese New Year, you can talk about it too. After Father Gao finished speaking, he continued to walk back to the back room to watch TV, and he went out because his wife occupied the TV.
One of the fathers and mothers stayed in the back room and the other in the kitchen, so they didn't quarrel.
Gao Ge and his eldest brother came to the side room, took out a clean teacup and made tea, and then they sat on the sofa and chatted.
The eldest brother Ren in Gao Ge's mouth is named Ren Bin, who is two years older than him.
When I was a child, I was the head of a group of children such as Gao Ge, because the two families were neighbors in the front and back yards, so they were more familiar with Gao Ge and Ren Bin than others.
After graduating from university, Gao Ge plunged into the entertainment industry, while Ren Bin was also engaged in entertainment-related industries, working at Beijing Cable Radio and Television Station.
After the merger of Beijing TV and Beijing Cable Radio and Television, his promotion path was even smoother, and he was already the deputy director of the satellite TV program center when they met at the beginning of the year.
After Ren Bin became a leader, he was even more unusual, his face with Chinese characters became more serious, and he only showed a smile on his face after seeing his brother.
"Big brother, why did you come here today?"
"Go home and see, didn't you just meet your uncle, so I said a few words, and when I came back, I saw your car at the door. Ren Bin took a sip of the cup and continued, "I just happened to have something to look for you." ”
"What's the matter?"
Ren Bin put down the cup and said with a smile, "Good thing." ”
It turned out that after Ren Bin was promoted at the beginning of the year, the station named him as the leader of the program preparation team for this year's Beijing Satellite TV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, it is the time when local satellite TV competes for star artists, and the real popular artists are at CCTV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, which is called a gathering of big names and star-studded, and the rest depends on local satellite TV to grab people.
At this time of year, the battle of artists and ratings between satellite TV in Beijing, Zhejiang, Hunan, Shanghai and other places is simply inextricable, and the Mid-Autumn Festival party of satellite TV station must not be placed in the prime time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is to grab CCTV Dad's cake.
It was also because of the artist that Ren Bin remembered his brother.
If Gao Ge still retreated behind the scenes and indulged in psychedelic rock, Ren Bin said that he would not come over to invite him.
The song "Ordinary Road" caused heated discussions on the Internet still made Ren Bin pay attention to his brother.
As soon as Ren Bin was about to speak, he heard Gao Ge's mobile phone ringing.
"I'll answer the phone. After a gesture, Gao Ge answered the phone, and it was Hunan Satellite TV who called?
Ren Bin on the side vaguely heard the words 'Hunan Satellite TV' and 'Mid-Autumn Festival', and the smoke in his mouth flickered faster.
