Chapter 52: A Magazine with Hidden Mysteries
Before leaving for Chang'an, Zhou Yan thought about leaving quietly without telling everyone, but in the end he told Zhou Qing and went to his grandparents to quit.
As a result, on the day of Zhou Yan's departure, all his eight brothers and sisters came to see him off.
The eldest brother Zhou Yu stuffed a pastry box into Zhou Yan's hand, "The road is far, we won't take you too many things, this is your favorite Sanyuan Saqima, eat it slowly after you arrive at the place, let the taste of your hometown accompany you, especially in the middle of the night, it can comfort your homesick heart." ”
Da Sanyuan is a restaurant, but his pastries are very famous, especially Saqima.
In fact, this pastry does not represent the taste of the hometown, Saqima is the food of the Manchu people, and Dasanyuan is a restaurant in Guangdong Province, just because they have eaten it since they were children, so Zhou Yu said so.
But this thing, when I was a child, I was okay to eat, but when I grew up, I felt a little too sweet.
Zhou Yan took the box and said with a smile, "Thank you." ”
"You're too angry." Zhou Yu put his arm around Zhou Yan's shoulder, "Go out this time, don't wait until the Chinese New Year to come back, come back during the summer." The grandparents are old and come back to accompany them. ”
"Yes, third brother, you can give us tutoring homework when you come back."
Lao Qi Zhou Jing said next to her, she is a few months younger than Zhou Qing, and both of them are in the first year of high school.
"Seventh, you just learn to find the third uncle, no matter what, the principal of Jinling Middle School can't teach you." Zhou Yu said with a smile.
Zhou Jing pouted, "My dad scolded people too much, I don't want to be scolded." ”
"Dad knows that if you say bad things about him behind your back, you will die." Old Eight Zhou Yun said.
Zhou Jing stared at Zhou Yun viciously and said, "If he knows, it must be your spy who told the secret, and I will beat you up as soon as possible." ”
Zhou Yun shrunk his neck, and it seemed that he was usually beaten by his sister.
Zhou Yu took a few steps forward with his arms around Zhou Yan's neck, slightly away from the others, and then whispered, "Third child, I have a chance to help me get a signed photo of Gong Li when I go back." ”
Zhou Yan looked at Zhou Yu, "Uh, yes." ”
"By the way, don't tell your uncle about this."
Zhou Yan nodded, "Clear." ”
"Haha, that's interesting." Zhou Yu finally let go of the hand holding Zhou Yan's shoulder, raised his voice and said, "Third child, you must say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, and we won't send the rest of the way, I wish you a smooth journey." ”
Then he said to the others, "Come, see off your third brother." ”
The six little ones said in unison, "Goodbye, third brother." ”
……
Zhou Yan set off from Jinling on the afternoon of the seventh day of the first month, and arrived at Chang'an Studios on the afternoon of the eighth day of the first month.
In recent years, there are a lot of pickpockets in the car, and you may lose your things after a while.
When he arrived at Chang'an Studio, Zhou Yan had no energy, he carried a bag, walked on his waist, and lived like a zombie.
The tragedy is that when they arrived at Liu Qing's dormitory, the door was still locked, and he had no key, so he could only squat at the door of the dormitory and wait for someone to come back.
There was no one in the other dormitories next to it.
Liu Qing and the others were probably on the other side of the office building, but Zhou Yan was too tired, and the dormitory was a long distance away from the office building, so he didn't want to look for it, so he waited at the door to see if anyone came back.
squatted at the door for a while, and just when Zhou Yan was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard someone shouting his name.
"Zhou Yan?"
Zhou Yan raised his head.
Dong Wenmiao stood in front of him and bent down to look at him.
Zhou Yan first saw her long black hair hanging down, and then followed her hair to see her beautiful face.
"It's really you, why are you here?"
Zhou Yan struggled to get up from the ground, squatting for a while, his legs were still a little numb.
"There are still some soundtrack jobs to do, I live in Liu Qing's dormitory, I just arrived today, and they haven't come back yet."
"Didn't you tell them in advance?"
"Nope."
Before leaving, Zhou Yan called Liu Qing once, but no one answered, so Zhou Yan didn't call again, he thought that the dormitory was usually full of people, even if no one waited for a while.
"There was a meeting in the factory today, and they all went to the meeting." Dong Wenmiao said.
"Oh, that's not a coincidence." Zhou Yan rubbed his eyes and asked Dong Wenmiao again, "Teacher Dong, why are you here?" ”
Compared with Zhou Yan, Dong Wenmiao's appearance here is even more surprising, she is responsible for styling and costume design, and now that the movie has been filmed, there is nothing for her.
"Director Zhang is preparing to make a new movie, and I came to take a look at it while the school was not open, and there will be no time later." Dong Wenmiao said.
"New movie?" The first thing that came to Zhou Yan's mind was "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", and this is the only one that can match the time.
"Well, it's also adapted from a novel." Dong Wenmiao nodded.
"What novel?"
"A novel just came out, called "A Place of Chicken Feathers", have you read it?"
Zhou Yan nodded subconsciously, he naturally watched Liu Zhenyun's "A Place of Chicken Feathers", but the question is, why did Zhang Yimou want to shoot this?
"Is the Director Zhang you are talking about Zhang Yimou?"
Dong Wenmiao gave Zhou Yan a big look, "Otherwise? ”
She guessed that Zhou Yan must have waited for someone to be stunned, and his mind was not clear.
"Would you like to stay in our dorm for a while?"
Zhou Yan was still thinking about "A Place of Chicken Feathers", and when he heard Dong Wenmiao's invitation, he subconsciously wanted to agree, but then he thought that he was a big man who ran to someone's girls' dormitory these days, and the impact was not very good.
"Thank you for your kindness, or not."
Dong Wenmiao probably knew what Zhou Yan was worried about, and said that Zhou Yan was still a decent gentleman, and after thinking about it, she said again, "I'll take you to my office to sit down." ”
"You still have an office?" Zhou Yan was surprised.
"Hey, can't I have an office?"
"That's not what you mean, you usually come over?"
Dong Wenmiao shook his head, "I don't come much, but I have a lot of things here, tools, clothes, etc., there must always be a place to put them, so the factory arranged an office for me." ”
"Far away?" Zhou Yan asked again, if it was too far, he would rather stay at the door.
Wait a while, if Liu Qing doesn't come back, he will have to look for it, and the door is really a little cold.
"It's not far, it's on the second floor."
Hearing that it was not far away, Zhou Yan nodded, "Then trouble Teacher Dong." ”
……
Dong Wenmiao's office is the easternmost room on the second floor, the room is not large, with a desk, a small filing cabinet, and other places are hangers full of clothes.
Entering the office, Dong Wenmiao pointed to the chair, "You can sit by yourself." ”
Zhou Yan nodded, put down the backpack and pastry box first, and then sat on the chair, the room was much warmer than the corridor, and when he squatted at the door for a while just now, everyone else was almost numb.
After that, Dong Wenmiao ignored Zhou Yan, she took out the tools from the cabinet and drew a picture on the table.
Dong Wenmiao's workaholic state, Zhou Yan has already understood it, and he doesn't think it's strange.
Zhou Yan leaned on the desk and squinted for a while, but no matter what posture he posed, he didn't feel good, he urgently needed a bed now, and he slept with his head covered.
His mind was full of beds and pillows, and he ran to the window from time to time to see if Liu Qing and the others had returned.
After about an hour, Dong Wenmiao stopped working, rubbed his shoulders, and sat down opposite Zhou Yan.
Seeing Zhou Yan's eyelids fighting, she said, "If you want to sleep, lie on the table and sleep, if you feel cold, find some cloth to cover, except for the clothes on the hanger, you can use the cloth here." ”
Zhou Yan shook his head and declined her kindness, then he glanced at the pastry box next to him and said to Dong Wenmiao, "Do you want to taste the pastries I brought from home?" ”
"No need to ......" Dong Wenmiao also glanced at the pastry box, and halfway through the refusal, he asked again, "What kind of pastry?" ”
"Saqima of the Great Three."
"Let's try some, then."
Zhou Yan smiled, it seemed that the variety was in line with Dong Wenmiao's taste, he opened the box, took out a piece of Saqima from it and gave it to Dong Wenmiao, and then took another piece himself.
The box containing the Saqi horses is very beautiful, and the Saqi horses inside are also full.
Zhou Yan originally thought that Saqima was too sweet, so he didn't eat it in the car, but he felt a little dizzy at this time, and wondered if he ate too little at noon and his blood sugar was low, so he ate one.
After eating, he felt a little more refreshed, and then picked up the second piece.
Dong Wenmiao's combat effectiveness is not weak, she watched as she ate in small bites, but the speed was not slow at all, not long after Zhou Yan ate here, she basically finished eating.
"One more." Zhou Yan stuffed another one to Dong Wenmiao, she didn't refuse, nodded and took it.
Thanks to the efforts of the two, it didn't take long for half of the box of Saqima to be removed.
After Saqima was gone, Zhou Yan found that there seemed to be a book about the size of the box under the box, so he took it out a little strangely.
When I took it out, it turned out to be a "Yuhua" magazine from March last year.
Seeing the magazine, Zhou Yan was puzzled, why did Zhou Yu put the magazine inside? Was it for the mat, or was it given to yourself?
Dong Wenmiao also glanced at the magazine and said with a smile, "This is also your Jinling's specialty." ”
"Hmm."
Zhou Yan nodded, and then opened the magazine casually.
But as soon as the first page of the magazine was opened, Zhou Yan was a thriller and hurriedly closed the magazine.
But it was too late.
Dong Wenmiao, who was sitting opposite, had already seen the contents inside, and she quickly turned her head, blushing behind her ears.
Zhou Yan never imagined that there was a copy of "Playboy" hidden under the skin of "Yuhua" magazine!
On the cover of the second layer, there is a very explicit photo of a female model with blonde hair and red lips, who is not wearing an inch and only uses a straw hat to cover important parts.
Twenty or thirty years later, such a photo may not be a big deal, but the impact is too strong at this time.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became awkward.
After a while, Zhou Yan tried to explain, "Ahem, this pastry was given by a friend." ”
Dong Wenmiao didn't respond, and stood up in a bit of a panic, "I'll go back to the dormitory first, you don't have to close the door when you leave." ”
With that, she ran away.
Zhou Yan looked at Dong Wenmiao's hurried back, knowing that she might have been labeled as a "hooligan" or "apprentice" in her heart.
When Dong Wenmiao's footsteps gradually faded away, Zhou Yan reopened the magazine and examined it with an artistic eye, I have to say that it makes sense that this thing sells well, and it looks really good.
Zhou Yan suddenly remembered what Zhou Yu said before leaving, what he said late at night to comfort his homesick heart, he didn't think much about it at the time, but now it seems that this is meaningful.
After this little episode, Zhou Yan's sleepiness was not left at all, so he ran to the window to guard, waiting for Liu Qing and them to come back.
