Chapter 50: A Distinguished Guest Comes to the Door
The days always fly by without you noticing.
Wei Ping'an's five-day wedding was all over, and he caught up with the rest day.
In the past five days, I accompanied Zhou Wen to go shopping twice.
The first time was to buy some new clothes for daily use and Zhou Wen, mainly Zhou Zimo and Zhou Wen.
I bought a piece of fabric for the old lady, a pair of old Beijing cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles.
The style is very ordinary and comfortable.
The old lady didn't wrap her feet, and she walked in a tiger's style, which cost more shoes.
The second time, because the old lady was going to move back to the front yard, Wei Ping'an pulled Zhou Wen to buy an electric fan for the old lady.
Sitting on the floor fan, bronze four-leaf Watson card.
The old lady exchanged a large pile of waste newspapers from Lao Li Tou, boiled the paste and pasted half of the house on the wall.
Perhaps this is a unique way for the elderly to tidy up their homes.
Perhaps it is because of this form that the old people who have left their homeland and cannot return to their roots can talk about comfort.
Anyway, after pasting the newspaper, Wei Ping'an entered the house again, and he had the urge to take off his shoes and sit cross-legged on the kang to chat.
Well, even if there is no kang head.
So as the saying goes, where there are people, is home.
That's what it feels like.
Zhou Zimo was too young to live in a small building alone, so he could only move back to the front yard with his grandmother.
The young man was a bit stupid, but the tutor was good and didn't cry.
Whether it is the old lady or Zhou Wen, they are not used to him, so they don't see it.
Only Wei Ping'an couldn't bear it and secretly gave him a small packet of white rabbit toffee.
Anyway, one of the front teeth is missing, so I'm not afraid of tooth decay......
For the rest of the day, a young couple lived a honeymoon-like life without shame or irritability.
As a result, the food has changed a lot, for example, the tea is soaked in wolfberries, and the scrambled eggs with chili peppers have been changed to scrambled eggs with leeks......
Don't ask where the leeks come from.
In the last century, there were greenhouse vegetables, but only a few rich and noble families would use them.
Now the pigeon market or vegetable market will be a little bit sporadic and will be scrambling to buy it.
Wei Ping'an went out for a walk, and he could "buy" anything.
After the five-day holiday, catch up with the rest day.
Today, Zhang Baoqiang, Ding Lijun and An Yang all met to meet the teacher.
Zhou Wenluo received them generously, and together with the old lady, made a large table of sumptuous dishes.
Four dishes, when placed on the table, occupy the entire table.
It's not a plate, it's a pot.
Commonly known as the four major pots.
It's all meat dishes.
Wei Ping'an was happy, and moved out the antique version of Moutai Town Craft Beer, and the four of them drank two bottles.
Although Anyang is still young, he is regarded as an adult after work, and he also drank half a cup.
In the end, my tongue was bald.
Only Ding Lijun is the most sober.
"Lijun, you remember to send Anyang home and hand it over to you to be responsible. Baoqiang, do you have any questions? ”
"Don't worry, master."
"I'm fine, master......"
After bidding farewell to the three of them, Wei Ping'an turned around and entered the house.
The old lady and daughter-in-law in the house were cleaning up the mess.
Adhering to the traditional concept, the four masters and apprentices drank and socialized, and the women did not serve the table.
Although the table is too small, it is not appropriate for Zhou Wen to sit next to anyone, and it will make the other party restrained, but the main thing is not this, it is the old lady who stopped it.
This is the rule, the rule not to break casually.
"When Xiaowen has a formal job, it is normal to show up. Now she is the housekeeper of the house, how can the woman in the inner courtyard show her face......"
Well, that's what the old lady said at the time.
Therefore, the four masters and apprentices ate and drank, and Zhou Wen served the food to say hello, and then went to the small building with the old lady.
Read a book, chat, and the time is gone.
In the afternoon, it was hot and dry, so Wei Ping'an went to the yard to water the vegetable patch.
Zhou Wen put away the sheets and quilts that were drying.
"Daughter-in-law, after a while, let's also get a sewing ticket, there is no sewing machine at home, and it is too troublesome for the old lady to sew and mend."
"When I used to be in my hometown, there was a sewing machine at home, but because I couldn't bring it here, I transferred it to the fat aunt of the neighbor......"
While chatting, a voice suddenly sounded at the gate of the courtyard.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Wei Laiwei here?"
Zhou Wen turned his head and looked at the gate of the courtyard curiously.
"Here, wait a minute."
Wei Ping'an shouted, put down the kettle and walked over.
Standing at the door was a middle-aged man with short hair, wearing a white shirt, cyan trousers, and three-joint leather shoes on his feet.
Dressed as an intellectual.
On his wrist he wears a plum watch.
Well, that's a pretty valuable thing in the future.
"Who are you?"
"Oh, are you Teacher Wei Lai? My name is Lu Xu, and I am a director......"
Lu Xu is a director, whether he is well-known or not, he has not been introduced, Wei Ping'an is not in that circle, and he doesn't understand it very well.
But polite words will still be spoken.
Look up for a long time, be polite and polite.
Then let into the house and sit down facing each other at the dining table.
Zhou Wen brewed a pot of Longjing, and the celadon purple sand ice cracked glazed teacup carved with plum was very exquisite, and Director Lu Xu deliberately picked it up and took a closer look at it several times.
Wei Ping'an pursed his lips, it was just a cheap commodity in the Xixi version of the mall, and 6 cups and 2 points were redeemed.
Nothing.
"Mr. Wei, I have a reluctant invitation to come this time......
"Since it's a reluctant invitation, there's no need to invite it......" Wei Ping'an almost blurted out.
"Director Lu Xu, please speak."
"I read your masterpiece "Bright Sword" ......"
Lu Xu is here to talk about making movies.
This guy is so daring.
Although this "Bright Sword" has been integrated into this era after Wei Ping'an's text processing, but the length is so long, Wei Ping'an is worried about whether he can present the first version of Bright Sword, let alone compress it into a movie?
"I want to ask, do you want to take a chapter shot, or do you want to shoot a few chapters?"
"This ...... That's what I thought......"
Lu Xu's meaning is obviously a bit of the latter, but it emphasizes that it will be carefully crafted.
Wei Ping'an has reservations.
"Director Lu Xu, ...... you wait"
Wei Ping'an was having a headache how to solve it, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the desk, and suddenly his mouth opened.
From the drawer against the wall of the desk, he took out five or six pages of paper and handed them to Lu Xu.
"The day before yesterday, I threw out a new novella, which tells the story of the Jiaodong anti-Japanese base area, and it is also a tactic, starting from Zhaojiazhuang, where the enemy's Huangcun stronghold is far away, ......"
Wei Ping'an handed the original manuscript to Lu Xu and began to explain the story, which can also be called the plot.
After all, Wei Ping'an was also a figure who was not afraid to give a speech in front of more than 3,000 entrepreneurs.
The sense of the picture is easily outlined from his three words and two sentences.
Lu Xu didn't care about it at first, it was a little perfunctory, but he fell into a trance, and occasionally he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he would pat his thigh and discuss the plot connection and performance tension with Wei Ping'an......
He got carried away, and he didn't realize that many directors have professional scrutiny angles and terms, and Wei Ping'an sounded effortless, and he could still participate in the discussion.
The two sides come and go, which can be called a moment of brightness.
It wasn't until the evening that the smell of food wafted from the families in the courtyard that Lu Xu woke up from the discussion.
"Brother Lu, you and I have a good conversation, why don't you stay and have a light meal together."
"No, no, I've been bothering you for a long time, I took the script of Brother Wei, and the screenwriter wrote your name. You don't have to worry about the cost of the script and screenwriter, my brother knows ......"
In this era, rations are the most important concern of every family.
Although Lu Xu is not bad for money or work, he has no intention of eating and drinking at someone else's house for the first time.
He is a newly promoted well-known director, and he is not short of food.
He just didn't know the food standard of Wei Ping'an's family.
Otherwise, I must regret that I didn't have the cheekiness to stay for a meal.
"Then I'll sort it out in the next few days, write it out again according to the pattern of the script, and send it to you, Brother Lu."
"Okay, then it's decided."
Lu Xu said heroically: "When the time comes, let your sister-in-law fry two dishes, and our brothers will have a good drink......
Wei Ping'an raised his eyebrows.
This director Lu Xu is not an emotionally intelligent person.
was still at his own house, so he promised to eat and drink him in the past, if it weren't for the fact that he had already figured out his temperament during this time, he thought it was a deliberate voice.
Send Lu Xu to the gate of the courtyard.
Wei Ping'an's actions already seemed to be of a high standard.
It may be because of the like-mindedness, or it may be for the future vote......
Wait until you get back home.
The old lady and Zhou Wen had already gone into the kitchen and were busy.
Suddenly, Wei Ping'an felt a warmth welling up in his heart.
It doesn't feel too comfortable to feel like family.
