Back to 80: My Literary Life

When Fang Minghua left Haikou the next day, he did not let Zhao Hongjun see him off. He took a taxi to Dayingshan Airport, took a flight to Huacheng, and then transferred to Xijing. It was already past seven in the evening.

When he returned to his small courtyard, he was greeted by the head-shaking Demu Douyao. When he entered the living room on the first floor, the cat Xiaodouya nested on the sofa in the living room. After meowing twice from him, he started to play by himself. Take a nap.

My daughter-in-law Song Tangtang hasn’t come back yet.

Fortunately, before I went on a business trip, I specifically asked my mother to come over the next day to check the yard and feed the cats and dogs some food. Otherwise, the two little guys would be very hungry during the past half month.

There was a cold wind blowing outside today, and it was extremely cold. The heating at home was not turned off, so it was very warm. Fang Minghua was too lazy to go out to eat, so he cooked a bowl of instant noodles at home and added an egg.

Master Kong’s beef instant noodles are finally launched in the mainland, and they taste pretty good.

Of course the two little guys will not be forgotten.

There is no such thing as dog food or cat food in this era, but Fang Minghua did not treat them badly. They ate beef, small fish, etc., which were kept in the refrigerator. He usually ate steamed buns, rice, and vegetables for them.

Not picky eaters anyway.

Today I ate instant noodles by myself, and gave Bean sprouts and Dou sprouts beef, ham sausages, and boiled eggs. Everyone, the dog, and the cat were full and full. Fang Minghua sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV. Dou sprouts lay in his arms. Under his feet, it was very harmonious.

At this moment, the phone in the living room suddenly rang, and Fang Minghua went over to answer it.

It belongs to my daughter-in-law Song Tangtang.

As soon as the call was connected, Song Tangtang, the leader, asked: "Minghua, are you back from Hainan? Have you persuaded the Red Army to stay?"

"I met him and we chatted for a long time." Fang Minghua said with a smile.

"He listened to you and stopped?"

"No, I also support him doing this."

"ah?!"

Fang Minghua told Song Tangtang in detail about his visit to Haikou to meet Zhao Hongjun and the conversation.

Song Tangtang didn't speak, and sighed quietly after a while.

"What's wrong? Worried about losing money? Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on this matter, and you won't lose money."

Fang Minghua originally thought that Song Tang was worried about this, so he quickly comforted him, but he heard Song Tangtang say: "I'm not worried about this now, I'm thinking that if everyone uses money to engage in real estate and make quick money, what about other construction projects in the country?" manage?"

this?

Fang Minghua didn't expect that Song Tangtang was thinking about this.

After thinking for a while, he said: "These are not what you and I are considering. All capital has its crazy stage during primitive accumulation. It either lives or dies."

"What we should consider is that if we make money this time, don't bury the gold ingots in the ground to mold like some rich people, and don't be arrogant like some nouveau riche. Just use the money to do meaningful things. That's fine. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I want to stay in Yanjing for a few days to accompany my grandma and grandpa." Song Tangtang said.

"Okay, you have worked hard. Just rest in Yanjing for a few more days and spend more time with their elderly people. Take a look at our courtyard house by the way. You don't have to worry about family matters. I will go over to visit the two little guys tomorrow."

"I know, I called my mother just before I called you. The two babies were very well behaved by her. They are looking forward to my return."

"Well, hey, let me ask you something." Fang Minghua suddenly thought of something: "Tangtang, has the theme song of this TV series you filmed been confirmed?"

"Not yet, I'm just worried about this." Song Tangtang sighed and continued: "In the United States, we once asked a well-known American musician to write a theme song for us, but after listening to it, Director Wu They all thought the song was too American, so they didn’t use it.”

"If I really can't do it, I'll ask Zhao Jiping for help when I get back," Song Tangtang finally said.

That's right

Fang Minghua said: "I suggest you find a musician from our country."

"who?"

"Liu Huan."

"Is it Liu Huan, the singer from "Young Aspirations Don't Say Sorrows"?"

"Yes, that's him. He is not only a singer, but also a composer. You can try him out in Yanjing now," Fang Minghua said.

On the other end of the phone, Song Tangtang was a little skeptical, Liu Huansheng sang well.

In addition to "Young Aspirations Don't Say Sorrows", there are also "Asian Heroes" and the very beautiful "Crooked Moon", all sung by Liu Huan.

But he can write songs?

This was the first time Song Tangtang heard about it, but Fang Minghua had already mentioned it, so she decided to give it a try.

The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.

Fang Minghua doesn't worry about things in Haikou or filming TV series. He is still focused on the literary award series.

The next morning, Fang Minghua went to the Writers Association and met with the staff of the Jury Office. Zhang Yanqian reported to him the work situation during this period, mainly preparing for the reading class seminar.

"Chairman Fang, we have contacted the leaders of Tangcheng Hotel and are planning to hold the meeting there. Now we are waiting for you to come back and make the final decision. Then we can send out the meeting notice."

Tangcheng Hotel is a three-star foreign-related hotel with elegant environment and considerate service. In this era, many government meetings like to be held in this hotel.

It is surrounded by famous attractions such as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Provincial History Museum, and the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. It is also convenient for meeting participants to go out and hang out in their free time.

Fang Minghua nodded and asked, "Okay, have you reported this matter to Chairman Hu?"

"Report, he said that you can make your own decisions on the matters of the jury, and you don't need to report to him." Zhang Yanqian replied.

"Report should be made, this is a kind of respect." Fang Minghua said, "Then you can send the meeting notice."

Work was proceeding in an orderly manner, Fang Minghua took time to visit his two precious children and parents, and waited for his wife Song Tangtang to come home.

I missed her for several months.

But I waited for ten days and still didn't see her. According to the usual practice, she would stay at her grandmother's house for at most a week and then come back anxiously.

In the evening, Fang Minghua was bored and wanted to call to ask Song Tangtang when she would come back, but before she picked up the receiver, the phone rang suddenly.

When he answered the phone, it turned out to be Song Tangtang calling.

"Tangtang, I was just about to call you, but I didn't expect you to call me. We are so in tune with each other." Fang Minghua smiled.

"Do you miss me?" Song Tangtang lowered her voice a little on the other end of the phone.

"Of course, life is hard for singles." Fang Minghua sighed.

"Hey, didn't you go to the karaoke bar with Hongjun every night in Haikou? Didn't you find a pretty girl?" Song Tangtang asked in a low voice.

Damn!

This Zhao Hongjun, he says anything.

Fang Minghua complained in his heart, but said: "Those are all mediocre women, I don't like them, how can they compare to my wife who is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide and shame the flowers."

"Okay, stop joking, I wanted to come back earlier, but didn't I tell you about writing the theme song? It's not done yet."

"You asked Liu Huan, but he didn't agree?" Fang Minghua asked hurriedly.

"He agreed, and he wrote it, but there are no lyrics yet. I plan to ask Yi Ming for help. We have also worked together. The lyrics of "Good People Live in Peace" he wrote for "Desire" are very good."

Is that so?

Fang Minghua suddenly became interested and asked: "What song did Liu Huan write? Can you hum a few lines?"
