Chapter 249: The Old Man
The complex architecture of the slums is also impressive, especially the water system, which has dug many wells and laid thousands of pipes in the buildings to meet the dense population, but because the rooftop water storage tank needs to be pumped, the residents take turns saving electricity to ensure that the electricity is sufficient. This shows that no matter how big the challenge, people here will always find a solution.
Aside from the desolate and dilapidated appearance of the city, the people in the city live just like people in other places.
Lu Haoer didn't romanticize the slum because it wasn't a place to make romance at all. But its connotation goes beyond romance, for an unplanned, unmanaged, self-formed city, the village is a milestone in the slums, it is full of vitality, and every part is used to the fullest.
This kind of orderly messy beauty is also the core of Lu Haoer's desire to express.

Lu Haoer, who got 15,000 yuan in manuscript fees, this was the first time she made money in the real sense, and she was excited to spend all the manuscript fees. All bought gifts for the family, the clothes were supported by the aunt, the delicious food guarded the tea restaurant, there was no shortage of food and clothing, and Lu Haoer, who was racking her brains, really didn't know what gifts to buy for the family.
In the end, he simply hit the zodiac gold, and the weight was more than 100 grams, and the weight of Lu Zhongfu and Lu Jiangzhou was more than 200 grams, which was solid pure gold.
Hold your value!
As for why there was no gold jewelry, Lu Haoer chuckled and said: That's the matter of the men of the Lu family, so she won't overstep her bounds.

In the Xiangjiang Spring Festival, it has been diluted a lot, but it can't stop the blood of the dragon in the bones, and in a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is approaching, and the atmosphere of the festival is getting stronger and stronger.
"Busy!" Cheng Wanting stood in front of the barbecue stall and said.
"Sister in-law, masturbate a string." Gu Zhanshuo handed her a handful of barbecue.
"Nope. I'm looking for a snail. Cheng Wanting waved her hand and said, "I'll have a good time when I'm done with my business." ”
"Okay! Luo'er is in the restaurant, you go in and find it! Gu Zhanshuo said with a smile.
"I won't delay you." Cheng Wanting left in style and pushed open the door of the tea restaurant.
"Hello uncle and aunt, excuse me." Cheng Wanting greeted with a smile, "Big brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law." ”
"Yo! Wanting is here, looking for your sister! Wanyi, don't do it, go now! Jiang Huifen hurriedly said.
"Uncle. Is it good to borrow a snail? Cheng Wanting said with a smile.
"Yes. Don't do it, let's go up with your little aunt! Lu Zhongfu waved his hand.
Cheng Wanting pulled Gu Yaluo, who took off her plastic gloves, and left, and Cheng Wanyi chased after her. "It's the New Year, what are you looking for snails for?"
"Eldest sister, do you still need to ask? It's almost the New Year, so I'll release the record before the Spring Festival! Cheng Wanting said as she went upstairs. Let's get off to a good start at the beginning of the new year! ”
"It's all your fault!" Cheng Wanyi shook her head and smiled.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them went up to the rooftop, one after the other, and Lucifer was already waiting for them on the rooftop.
"You're really running against time!" Cheng Wanyi was completely speechless.
"It's not for the in-laws to force it. Isn't this afraid that my in-laws will bombard me after waiting for a long time? Cheng Wanting touched her nose and said, "Girls before marriage, can't go home too late." ”
"I can't imagine that Miss Cheng Er, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, is so afraid of my father-in-law!" Cheng Wanyi pursed her lips and snickered.
"Eldest sister, you're not kind! I'm respectful! Cheng Wanting said seriously.
Cheng Wanyi glanced at her angrily and said. Listen to your nonsense!
"Let's go in and talk." Gu Yaluo pushed open the door of the rooftop house, touched the switch next to the door and turned on the light, and the room suddenly lit up.
"Sit down!" Gu Yaluo took off her shoes. Barefoot, stepping on the carpet, he walked in. "What to drink?"
"A cup of hot water." Cheng Wanting sat lazily on the carpet and said.
"So do we." Lucifer and Cheng Wanyi also said.
Gu Yaluo brought four cups of hot water and put them on the coffee table, and put them in front of them one by one.
Gu Yaluo took a sip of the teacup and said, "Say it!" What's up. ”
Cheng Wanting clasped her hands and said excitedly, "Has Lucifer decided?" Participating in the Grammy Awards or not, it is the best newcomer and the best song of the year, which are two very important awards. It's all this time, are you really planning not to go? ”
"The company gave us autonomy and didn't go. I went to accompany the prince to study. Lucifer shrugged, he didn't want to waste time.
It's good to be nominated, there are a lot of Grammys, and many British groups West Side Boys, Backstreet Boys, and Queen are famous in the pop music industry. But the Grammys never threw an olive branch to them.
"Oh! Are you really not going? Lucifer went to the United States after the New Year, just in time to attend the awards gala. Gu Yaluo unceremoniously pushed him into the spotlight, looking at him with schadenfreude in his eyes, "It doesn't matter if you win the award or not, it's good to see and see!" It's all about participation! The words fell and patted him on the shoulder like an elder.
"Luo'er, don't forget that we are a combination." Lucifer said in a languid voice.
"With you Lucifer out of the horse, you will definitely kill everyone in seconds, who will remember me!" Gu Yaluo is a friend of the dead Dao, a poor man, a scoundrel.
Lucifer looked at her and smiled dotingly, "You girl." ”
Lucifer's eyes turned slightly, and a charming smile crossed his lips and seduced, "Since Luo'er wants to see and understand, then come with me!" ”
Gu Yaluo's fingers crossed her pink lips, and she didn't say anything.
Cheng Wanting looked at them with great regret, but she couldn't help it.
"Lucifer, you're going to America." Cheng Wanyi heard it clearly.
"Yes! In the future, I will focus on the United States. Lucifer confessed.
"What are you leaving?" Cheng Wanting said excitedly, "Your combination has just become popular, you are going to disband, and you can't fly alone." ”
"When I came to the United States, I didn't say that I was disbanded! It is very convenient to fly from Xiangjiang to the United States. Lucifer looked at Gu Yaluo and said, "As long as Luo'er needs it, I can come back at any time." ”
Gu Yaluo's two fingers pinched his waist, this guy said such ambiguous words.
Lucifer endured the pain and grinned as he diverted the subject. "Miss Wanting, is there anything else?"
"Oh! Yes, there are no new works. Cheng Wanting immediately asked mentally.
Gu Yaluo got up and took out four songs from under the desk and handed them to her, "One of them is a song for the occasion, isn't it almost the Spring Festival?" "Wishing you prosperity", "Sweet honey", "People on the Journey", "hero" As for who sings it, there is a name. ”
The song "Hero" gave Lu Haoer the courage to live, and her singing voice was hoarse.
Cheng Wanting looked at it very carefully, with a clap in her hand, "Great!" ”
The song "Sweet Honey" sounds sweet and beautiful. is simply tailor-made for Teresa Teng's sweet but not greasy singing style. The whole song combines the aesthetics of the oriental female tradition. and the modern style of Western women. In her singing with dimples, people can hear an oriental style.
The lyrics of "People on the Journey" are both inspirational and practical, giving people guidance in confusion. Faith when shaken, infinite comfort in times of trouble.
"Wishing you prosperity" is a song for the occasion, don't think about promotion here, Chinese will always be second-class citizens in front of whites. Only the dream of getting rich can be done!
The lyrics and melody are excellently matched, with strong and distinct national characteristics. Every sentence is easy to understand. All of them have their ups and downs, just like Bai Juyi's works, which are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Women and children can understand it, and it is full of fun. Suitable for word of mouth.
"These two are disco dance songs "SexyMusic" and "ModernTalking." Gu Yaluo handed it to Cheng Wanting again.
Everyone doesn't know English, but when it comes to Chinese, "A Fire in Winter" and "Little Girl Under the Streetlamp" all know.
ModernTalking has many songs that are popular with a powerful whirlwind that is lightning fast. Blowing in all the big and small dance scenes around the world. It became the only synonym for the Continental dance music scene in the mid-80s. The song "Little Girl Under the Streetlamp", which was sung into Chinese, was also popular throughout China back then. It is also a decompression song that has accompanied many people through their youthful years, and this song is so famous. So much so that it has been covered in more than 50 languages. Even if you can't sing, you will probably hear it familiar to you in the various loudspeakers in the streets and alleys back then!
"Okay, now it's time to make a difference." Cheng Wanting said happily, "I'll pick you up tomorrow." ”
"By the way, the money has been transferred to your account, pay attention to checking." Cheng Wanting advised.
I didn't expect it to end so early, after Cheng Wanting put the song sheet in her bag, she happily went downstairs, feasted, and left only after she was full.

Due to the Spring Festival, Fu Ji Tea Restaurant made an exception for a seven-day holiday, who let Lu Zhongfu himself be the boss! It's been a busy year, it's time to take a break.
Gu Yaluo and they are not idle, the supermarket is close to the Spring Festival, and the supermarket is fully stocked with New Year's goods, and there are crowds of people every day, and the shipments of this spicy hot store are even greater.
I was busy every day with my feet on the ground, but I was really tired of twenty small bills full of travel bags when I came back every day.
"It's a real cramp in my hand." Gu Yaluo clenched her hand and crackled.
After counting the banknotes, they were deposited in the bank in the evening the moment the bank closed.
On the 23rd day of the lunar month, Long Sen and Chen Caixia held a simple wedding, and since there were no parents on both sides, the tea restaurant and the neighbors sent warm blessings.
Time passed bit by bit in the busyness, and Guan Zhiyong and the five of them plus Long Sen were so busy these days that their feet didn't touch the ground.
In the evening, after Guan Zhiyong finished delivering the kebabs non-stop, on the way back, he was attracted by a noise, and the important thing is that he heard the local sound.
So Guan Zhiyong's long legs got off the bicycle and pushed the cart forward.
No matter when and where, people like to watch the excitement, especially in the step-by-step, the pace of life is gradually accelerating and becoming more and more indifferent in the city.
I saw that the sidewalk on the side of the street was surrounded by people on the third floor and three layers outside, and the sound of shouting and shouting came from inside, and the scene was very lively.
Guan Zhiyong relied on the tall and big figure, and when he raised his eyes, he could see the situation inside. (To be continued)
