It was six o'clock in the afternoon, and Tang Qingyuan and other workers came out of the factory on bicycles.

It's off work.

He used to ride an electric bicycle to and from work, but not long ago, the city restricted unqualified electric bicycles on the road, and his electric car that he had ridden for five years was also confiscated, so he had to ride the 28 bar again.

I can't afford a car, and even if I buy the dilapidated family home, there is nowhere to park.

Today's weather is extremely cold, and there are snowflakes, Tang Qingyuan is riding a bicycle with gloves and swaying past a movie theater, and suddenly a movie poster attracts his attention.

Collapsed factory roofs, building corners littered with scrap and crumbling factory floors. There is a piano in the middle.

Tang Qingyuan naturally has no interest in the piano, but the background of this poster seems to touch some kind of memory in his heart.

Movie "Piano of Steel"

It's a weird name.

Tang Qingyuan thought in his heart, but he didn't stop pedaling.

Back home, it was cold in the house.

My son has moved out after getting married, and now he is at home with his daughter-in-law, and sometimes he is reluctant to open.

Before his daughter-in-law got off work, Tang Qingyuan ordered himself a bowl of noodles, turned on the electric stove again, and his body suddenly felt hot.

Sitting on the old sofa, swiping his phone, waiting for his daughter-in-law to come back from work.

I accidentally brushed up on the movie I just saw.

The singer named Yu Dongqing strongly recommends it.

This is one of the few singers Tang Qingyuan knows, and he likes to listen to the song "Kill That Shijiazhuang Man" he sings.

Since Yu Dongqing recommended it, he became curious and watched the movie trailer.

It turned out to be a film that reflected the laid-off workers!

He looked at the profile carefully.

Then the door opened, and the wife returned.

"What the hell, it's so cold outside!" The wife scolded in a low voice.

"The dish is fried, you can do it yourself." Tang Qingyuan said something and stood up suddenly.

"What are you going to do?"

"Watch a movie."

"Watching a movie?!" The wife looked surprised.

It's been more than ten years, and I've never heard my husband go to the cinema!

Today's movies are not like before, they have become high-cost, and a ticket is at least 40 yuan.

"Well, there's a movie that I think is pretty good, so I want to see it." Tang Qingyuan said and went out.

It was already dark outside, and Tang Qingyuan rode his bicycle to the cinema again, which is one of the bustling places in the city, and the streets are full of people.

There are a lot of people in the cinema, many young people or couples with popcorn drinks, and there are very few middle-aged men like him.

From the film festival, he found the screening of "Piano of Steel", and luckily it was good, there was a screening in ten minutes.

There are only two shows in the whole day.

After buying the ticket and entering the No. 3 viewing hall, he was surprised to find that there were few people in it.

Suddenly, he regretted it a little.

Are you too impulsive to spend 45 yuan to buy a movie ticket?!

My own living expenses for a day.

However, it was too late to regret it, and the movie began.

The movie is not very long, only about 100 minutes.

The film is full of comedy.

But Tang Qingyuan never laughed.

When the song "Cheers to the Past" sounded, the lights in the cinema were bright.

Tang Qingyuan quietly wiped his eyes and walked out of the theater in silence.

It's still buzzing outside.

He has to go back quickly, he has to go to work tomorrow.

The factory has been converted into a private enterprise many years ago, and there are not many workers like him, who have turned over 50 and have not been fired by their bosses.

He cherishes his job.

Not long after Yu Dongqing returned to Yanjing, Mingmei also returned.

The crew temporarily stopped filming, went home for the New Year, and continued to work after the Spring Festival.

Today is the 26th of the lunar month, and Yu Dongqing's courtyard in the crescent moon alley has changed from the clean atmosphere of the past and looks very lively.

Four buddies and their families gathered here to celebrate the New Year in advance.

Originally, Yu Dongqing was arranged in Donglaishun, but the major hotels were very lively a year ago, and he didn't book a place.

In the end, it was simply summed up, and the family had a dinner in the small courtyard, anyway, the place is spacious now, and the family space is not as small as the original living next to Rending Lake Park.

In winter, it is naturally the most affordable mutton hot pot, and it is accompanied by a variety of side dishes and cooked food, and Yu Dongqing also bought a set of copper hot pot for this purpose.

The couple got up early in the morning to be busy, worried that they would not be able to keep busy, and Liu Yimin's daughter-in-law Wei Fang came over to help after lunch.

Yu Dongqing and the others often go to Liu Yimin's house to eat and drink, and they are all received by Wei Fang, so she is a good hand at doing this job, and with her help, the cooking efficiency has been doubled.

Hearing the doorbell at the gate of the courtyard, Yu Dongqing quickly wiped his hands and went to open the door.

It was Liu Yimin and her daughter Liu Zhiqi who came, still carrying gifts in their hands.

"Uncle Yu, I wish you a happy New Year and give you New Year's greetings in advance." Liu Zhiqi smiled sweetly.

Liu Zhiqi is still a member of the H.Dgirls girl group, and has also been admitted to the Yenching Dance Academy, completely taking the road of art.

"Hehe, each other, each other, fast forward, fast forward." Yu Dongqing greeted.

"Where's Tongtong?" Liu Zhiqi asked as he walked.

"Play the piano in her study."

"I'll take a look." The girl ran in with a puff of smoke.

"What about Zhang Yang and Du Hui?" Liu Yimin asked.

"Zhang Yang will be here soon, and Du Hui estimates that it will take a while."

Before the two of them reached the living room, they heard the doorbell outside the courtyard again, Yu Dongqing hurriedly went over to open the door, and it was Zhang Yang's family of three who came.

"Hello Uncle Yu, Happy New Year." It was Zhang Yang's son Zhang Haowei who greeted him.

"Xiaowei, you're getting more and more handsome, it's just the same as when you were young." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

Zhang Haowei looks like the flamboyance of his youth, tall and handsome, but his personality is completely opposite, very shy.

Zhang Haowei came back from graduating with a master's degree in the UK, and took the public examination according to his father's wishes, but he was not admitted to the civil service and finally took the career editor.

Now the district cultural inspection brigade works, the unit is very ordinary, the work is not tired, one day driving the white BMW 7 series to and from work on time, there is no arrogance when he was young.

This made Zhang Yang both relieved and a little regretful.

Rest assured that his son is not like other rich second generations, he will not cause trouble for himself, but unfortunately the kind of risk-taking genes passed down from the old Zhang family from his grandfather to the Kanto region are gone to his son's generation?

It seems that you can't have both bear paws and fish.

When Zhang Yang's family arrived, his daughter-in-law Liu Meirong immediately went to the kitchen to help, and several men went to the living room to drink tea and chat.

Yu Dongqing saw Zhang Haowei sitting quietly swiping his mobile phone, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Xiaowei, do you have a girlfriend?" Why don't you bring it for the uncles to see? ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Haowei raised his head and smiled: "Uncle Yu, I'm still young, and I'm not in a hurry to fall in love." ”

Scold?

Zhang Yang couldn't help but complain when he heard it: "Not in a hurry? When I was 24 years old, we had already talked about two! ”
