Early in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Bai Yujing and Bai Lang woke up to a rush of phone calls.

"Xiaojing, your alarm clock?" Bai Lang rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze.

Bai Yujing reached out and touched the phone, looked at the three words "Wei Xiaohong" on the screen, and sat up suddenly.

"Sister Hong?" Bai Yujing connected.

"Uh-uh, did that bother you so early?"

"No, no, I was just about to get up, what's wrong?"

"That's right, the staff of Lushan Studio contacted me last night and said that they wanted to invite Hua Feng to Yanjing to audition for "Kangxi the Great", and then said that you recommended it, so I called and asked."

Bai Yujing sat up, wrapped the quilt around his body, and said: "There is this matter, Director Wang Lushan asked me to write the theme song for this TV series, I mentioned Sister Feng in passing, but I didn't expect him to find you." ”

"Oh, it doesn't look like a liar." Wei Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "After the truth comes out, I thought that there would be some jobs to find over, but when I heard that the other party said that it was the studio of director Wang Lushan, I was still startled, and it was OK to confirm with you, then I will tell Hua Feng now, and I will accompany her to the capital after the year." ”

"No problem."

"Okay, then- Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

"Whose phone, what theme song?"

Bai Lang saw Bai Yujing put the phone aside and asked curiously.

"Do you know Wang Lushan?"

"I don't know."

"What about "The Biography of Yue Fei"?"

Bai Lang nodded and said, "I haven't missed one episode of this TV series, and I've watched it all." ”

"Then you should have heard of "Loyal to the Country"."

Bai Lang laughed, with an expression of "what are you kidding", and then sang with a voice: "The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north......"

Bai Yujing adjusted his voice and continued: "The dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frost......"

Bai Lang was stunned for a moment, pointed at Bai Yujing and said, "You imitate it very similarly." ”

Bai Yujing shook his head helplessly, this song is so popular, his biological brother doesn't know who sang it? But looking back, it doesn't seem strange, he himself is familiar with the theme songs in many film and television dramas, but he doesn't know anything about the specific singer or even the name of the song.

"What are you two howling there early in the morning, don't you hurry up!"

The two brothers were about to continue singing, when their mother's voice came from outside.

"Right now." Bai Yujing replied.

The sound of firecrackers outside comes and goes, and this may be the only thing that can render the flavor of the New Year now.

After coming out of the side room, I was about to go to wash, and I saw my mother chatting with an aunt, who seemed to be talking about a certain girl, saying something "mainly close to home", "I also went out to work before graduating from junior high school", "there is a younger brother and a younger sister below"......

Bai Yujing patted Bai Lang and raised his chin over there, Bai Lang smiled and shook his head, and then couldn't help but turn around and walk over.

After Bai Yujing finished brushing her teeth, the aunt had already left, and she saw her mother talking to her eldest brother with a stern face.

"Auntie wants to be a matchmaker for the eldest brother?"

Bai Yujing asked knowingly.

Bai Ma nodded, then nodded at the eldest brother and said, "I listened to what your aunt said, that girl is not bad, her family is similar to ours, look at it when you meet." ”

"Got it, I'll take a good look at it." Blazer guaranteed.

"When will we meet?" Bai Yujing asked.

"The second year of junior high school is in Cui Jia's clothing store on Shizhuang Street."

"Cui Jia?" Bai Yujing glanced at his eldest brother, "You are ...... for the first time Cui Jia, a middle school student? ”

Bai Lang gave Bai Yujing a look, and then nodded.

Cui Jia is the eldest brother's first love, when Bai Yujing was in his first year of junior high school, the eldest brother ran to Cui Zhuang in the middle of the night to go on a date with Cui Jia, and came back at more than two o'clock in the morning, according to him at that time, he and Cui Jia kissed on the haystack for more than two hours that night.

It's hard to tell whether the haystack kiss is true or false, but they did talk about a half-semester relationship, but that relationship couldn't be ended with Bai Lang's withdrawal from school.

"You two go and put up the couplet first, and then you can eat." Mom ordered, and then went to the kitchen to help Daddy Bai.

The two brothers went to the hall to get the Spring Festival couplets written by their father overnight.

"Actually, we've been in touch all these years."

Bai Lang suddenly took the initiative to mention his good Cui Jia: "After she took the high school entrance examination, she said that she would go to Zhejiang. Jiang looked for me, but then her uncle's family was going to open a furniture store in the town, so he gave up the clothing store on Shizhuang Street to her family......"

Bai Yujing nodded.

"So now we're people from two worlds."

"Huh?"

"You don't understand." While applying batter to the couplet, Bai Lang taught Bai Yujing: "Those who go out to work are taller than those who farm at home, and those who open shops on Shizhuang Street are taller than those who go out to work." The day before yesterday, she told me that her family arranged a blind date for her, a man who was a teacher at the town high school. ”

"Did she agree?"

"I didn't ask, but I heard that the teacher could get a house in the school, and it is estimated that eight or nine will not be far from ten."

Bai Yujing finished pasting a couplet and said: "Since I have no relationship with Cui Jia, then the blind date of the second junior high school should be a good expression." ”

……

Chinese New Year's Eve in 2005 and many "Chinese New Year's Eve" in Bai Yujing's memory have a lot of overlaps, including drinking wine together as a family at noon, including making dumplings and fried dumplings together with parents in the afternoon, and then watching the Spring Festival Gala together as a family in the evening.

"I don't know when I can go to the scene to watch the Spring Festival Gala."

When he saw the camera scanning the audience, Bai Dad sighed.

Bai Yujing immediately promised: "Within three years, I will definitely take my parents, brother and sister-in-law to watch the Spring Festival Gala together." ”

"Within three years, you haven't graduated from college yet, this is unrealistic......" Bai Lang debunked.

Bai Yujing smiled and did not speak.

Four hours later, the Spring Festival Gala ended, and Bai Lang actively went to set off firecrackers.

The year 2006 came.

On the first day of the new year, Bai Dad went to attend a high school reunion, Bai Lang also had a group of "fox friends and dog friends" at home, and Bai Yujing stayed in the side room to read books very unsocially.

After Dad Bai came back in the evening, he looked sullen, and only after being questioned by Mom Bai several times did he reluctantly tell the story of being squeezed by his old classmates at the party.

I have roughly understood from my father and mother that my father was a veritable figure when he was studying, and it was the old classmates at this party, several of whom were his followers at the beginning, but time has passed, and now some of Bai Dad's old classmates are teaching directors in key high schools, some are middle school principals, and some are working in government departments.

In short, only Baibai's father works alone in the field.

This may also be a reason why Bai Dad has been hoping that Bai Yujing can be admitted to a prestigious university and get ahead as soon as possible.

Bai Yujing looked at his father's appearance and didn't know how to comfort him.

Dad Bai patted the table and said to Mom Bai, "Do you know why the class reunion is not held at our house every year?" People think that our pot is not clean and the food we cook is unhygienic! ”

Bai Ma said: "It's like this every year, you're still angry, wouldn't it be good if you don't participate next year." ”

Bai Yujing naturally continued: "Tomorrow the eldest brother will go on a blind date, dad and mom, the three of us will go to the street to choose a house by the way, and in the future, Dad's class reunion can be held in our house." ”

Dad, Mom, and Big Brother glanced at Bai Yujing like fools.

The mother didn't want to hit her son's self-confidence, and explained: "Xiaojing, you are going to college this year, so the money we saved this year will be used as your tuition, and we will make money to buy a house next year." ”

Dad Bai glanced at Mama Bai and asked, "Do you know how much a house on the street costs?" ”

"Let's save for a year, borrow some more, and we can pay almost half of it upfront." Bai Ma's confidence is not enough.

"That's not a house on the street, it's on the side of the street, what does the city say, the outer ring?"

Bai Yujing smiled: "Didn't the eldest brother say that it only costs 140,000? ”

Bai Lang said: "I'm talking about the outer ring, and the street is more expensive than twenty or thirty thousand." ”

"That's not more than 200,000, buy, buy, buy. And if we don't buy the outer ring, we will buy a house to watch out for on the street, and you won't have to go to work in the future, just open a supermarket at home, I don't think there is a large-scale supermarket on the street. ”

"Xiaojing, your school hasn't come out yet, how can you brag about your boss and me?" Bai Lang said.

Bai Yujing didn't answer, got up and went into the house, took out the envelope of the year-end award given to him by nine axes and his passbook, and after coming out of the side room, he put the envelope and passbook on the table and said, "I have money." ”

Bai Lang took the envelope with a smile first, opened it and looked at it, and his smile suddenly froze.

"Big brother, pour it out and count."

Bai Lang poured out the money in the envelope as he said, and 30,000 yuan was placed in front of the family.

Bai Yujing reached out and took the passbook and opened it, then sent it to his father, and said, "In addition to buying a house, I just want to tell you about my eldest brother's learning to cook." ”

Dad Bai took the passbook and was stunned when he saw the string of numbers. R1152
