Entertainment from Divorce

Jishui City, a nursing home in the suburbs.

The most important Spring Festival of the year is coming soon, and the old home now exudes a strong atmosphere of approaching the New Year.

Tan Zhaohe has long retired from the steel factory, and his daily life is basically very leisurely. He gets up in the morning and does a set of Tai Chi at the entrance of the old courtyard. Then he sits at the entrance of the main hall of the courtyard, sipping slightly steaming tea.

At this moment, Li Yulan, who was going out to buy breakfast, just opened the door and walked in.
"Honey, what are you eating this morning?" Tan Zhaohe asked, looking at the full basket in Li Yulan's hand.

"Today, I bought your favorite fennel buns and spicy soup. These buns were bought from Lao Wu's house at the east entrance of the street. There were a lot of people this morning. Fortunately, I went there early, otherwise I almost couldn’t buy it.”

"Lao Wu's big buns! How many years have they been there? His buns are the most authentic!"

"Then you sit here and I'll make some pickles." After speaking, Li Yulan walked to the kitchen.

After a while, Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. When they were clearing the table after eating, Li Yulan stopped Tan Zhaohe who was about to take Mantou (the family's new little native dog) for a walk and said :
"Dad, don't leave yet. Sisi called me just now when I was going to buy groceries, saying that our eldest sister fell on her leg some time ago and is now recuperating at her hometown in Jiyin."

Sisi is the daughter of Tan Yue's aunt and also Tan Yue's cousin.

After listening to Li Yulan's words, Tan Zhaohe looked stunned and said:

"Sister, did you fall? Why did you fall? This kid Sisi is really serious. Why are you calling us now?"

Li Yulan finished clearing the table, put the rag aside and washed it, and said:

"Sisi said that she accidentally stepped on the air when she was going downstairs. The fall was not too serious and she had just had surgery. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the eldest sister misses us more. Speaking of which, we two sisters are quite tall. We’ve run out of time, we just have time, let’s go back to our hometown and have a look.”

"Same, eldest sister. We are so careless, so we should do it sooner rather than later. There happens to be nothing to do these days, so let's pack it up now. I also have the old-age gifts that the factory gave us a few days ago. Let's take them back with us. Let’s buy some good supplements on the way.”

Tan Zhaohe agreed, let go of the rope holding the bun and walked towards the back room, ready to get something.

Then Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan packed up their things together. Since they hadn’t been back to their hometown for several years and wanted to stay there for a few days, they brought a lot of things, including bacon, nutritional supplements and other items. The trunk of Zhaohe's little Poussin was packed to the brim.

The two got on the little Poussin, left the old home in the suburbs, and rushed to their hometown in the west of Jishui City, because the original hometown of Tan Yue's parents was not from Jishui, but from Jiyin City to the west of Jishui, and Jishui City. The distance between Yin and Jishui is not too close, and it takes about two hours to drive. The two of them drove towards the provincial road leading to Jiyin. This period happened to be the Chinese New Year, and all the people on the road were returning to their hometown from outside. The vehicles made the originally wide road seem a bit crowded at this moment. The two had no choice but to slow down and drive slowly.

Tan Zhaohe's Poussin gradually drove into Jiyin. Looking at the familiar old roads and streets, Tan Zhaohe also seemed to be in a trance. Although the two cities were not very far apart, Jishui was in Tan Zhaohe's. In He's heart, it is not his hometown after all!

Due to heavy traffic and congestion on the road, Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan did not arrive in Jiyin city until noon. Aunt Tan Yue's home was in a town below Jiyin City.

When Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan passed through the city and came directly to the town where Aunt Tan Yue lived. When they arrived at the door of Aunt Tan Yue's house, they saw Sisi calling on the door. Li Yulan looked happy and rushed Qian Sisi shouted:
"Sisi! Sisi!"

Qian Sisi turned her head when she heard someone calling her. When she saw it was her aunt and uncle, she hurriedly said:

"Auntie! Uncle!"

"Why did you come so fast? I just called my aunt this morning."

Hearing this, Tan Zhaohe pretended to be serious and said:

"You girl, your mother didn't tell us earlier when she fell. How come you don't recognize you as my uncle?"

"How is that possible? You can't deny my uncle if you don't recognize anyone. Isn't it because my mother doesn't allow me to say it? I'm afraid that if I say it, I'll trouble my aunt and uncle again."

Qian Sisi said with a smile. At this time, Li Yulan wanted to go in quickly to see the eldest sister, so she interrupted the two of them and said:
"Okay, Lao Tan, stop pretending. You're not scared to see Sisi. Do you think Sisi is still a child and can be scared just by your stern face? Okay, let's go in and see the eldest sister quickly. !”

Then Li Yulan took Qian Sisi into Aunt Tan Yue's house first, followed by Tan Zhaohe with the things he brought.

At this moment, Qian Zhendong (Tan Yue's uncle) was cooking in the kitchen. He was stunned when he saw Li Yulan come in, but he was also very happy. He wiped the apron around his waist and said:
"Ah! Yulan, Zhaohe, why are you here! Hurry up and sit inside, it's cold outside."

Then he greeted Sisi and said:
"Go and make tea for your aunt and uncle. Go to the cupboard and brew the bag of Tieguanyin that I have treasured for a long time!"

Qian Zhendong greeted Li Yulan and Tan Zhaohe into the back room. Qian Sisi also walked to the cabinet to get Tie Guanyin and prepare to drink it.

Aunt Tan Yue, Li Yufang, was sitting on a chair in the back room watching TV. When she heard the movement outside, she turned her eyes to the door. She saw Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan coming in and said:
"When did Zhaohe and Yulan come? Look, they didn't even say hello in advance. The eldest sister didn't prepare anything here."

"Didn't Sisi call me this morning and tell me that my eldest sister fell on her leg? Zhaohe and I were quite worried, and besides, we haven't been here for a long time! So as soon as we had dinner in the morning, we agreed to come over as soon as possible. have a look."

"It's true that Sisi is a kid. My eldest sister's leg problem is not a big one. She just accidentally stepped on the ground when she was going upstairs and touched her calf. It's not a big deal. I'd rather bother you two to come all the way here. "

Li Yufang glared at Qian Sisi, and then said to Qian Sisi:
"Sisi, hurry up and buy some vegetables, buy more meat, and bring back some fish! Let your dad cook some good dishes!"

Qian Sisi quickly responded and turned around to leave.

Watching Sisi walk outside, Li Yulan looked at Li Yufang's legs and asked:
"Sister, what's wrong with your legs? Why did you fall?"

"Damn! Didn't I tell you both just now? It's just that Sisi was on vacation a few days ago and was coming back from outside. I thought of going upstairs to dry the quilt for Sisi. At that time, I was holding the quilt in my hand and then I didn't see the steps under my feet clearly and missed the step." Li Yufang replied to her sister's inquiry.At this time Qian Zhendong added:
"Luckily there was a handrail on the stairs, otherwise your eldest sister would have fallen from the stairs."

Li Yufang glared at Qian Zhendong and said nothing.

Tan Zhaohe was frightened for a while after hearing this. If he really missed the handrail and fell from it, plus the eldest sister is now in her fifties or sixties, thinking about it, she felt okay. She was really lucky.

Li Yulan asked:
"Sister, have you gone to the hospital to take a picture?"

"After taking the photo, the doctor said there was no major problem, just a slight bone fracture. After I came back, I took your eldest sister to a well-known Chinese medicine doctor nearby to ask for some plasters, and they are now applied. Last time I went to the hospital for a review, she recovered. It's pretty good, your eldest sister can even walk in the past few days."

Qian Zhendong looked at Li Yufang's legs and said to Li Yulan.

"That's good, but eldest sister, please be careful in the future. Your health is the most important thing. You can let Sisi sunbathe on her own after she comes back. The child is so big now. Besides, Sisi must be very distressed when you fall."

Li Yulan learned that Li Yufang was fine and gradually felt relieved.

The aunt then talked about Tan Yue, praising him endlessly and showing pride on her face.

Then Li Yufang said to Li Yulan:

"Where's Xiao Yue? Are you still busy now?"

Li Yulan said: "Oh, Xiao Yue, he is in the capital now. I heard that he is very busy these days and has several dramas to shoot, so he won't be able to come back for the time being."

"Yue Yue, he is really great now. I heard from Sisi that Yue Yue is now the leading figure in China's entertainment industry. All his works have been exported overseas. Although eldest sister, we have no culture, but we also know that Yue Yue The more we are proud, have we ever had a celebrity before? The day before yesterday, Sisi showed me Yue Yue’s speech, which was so good! And Yue Yue is really good-looking now, what a handsome young man he is. !”

Li Yufang praised Tan Yue for a while.

Li Yulan felt proud when her eldest sister praised Tan Yue so much, but on the surface she was still relatively modest and said:
"Hahaha, not that good, not that good."

At this moment, Li Yulan's cell phone rang. When she saw it was Tan Yue's call, she picked it up.

"Hey, Mom, are you at home now? What are you busy with?"

"Oh, Xiao Yue! Mom and your dad are at your aunt's house now. Your aunt broke her leg some time ago. Mom and your dad came over to take a look."

When Tan Yue heard that his aunt had broken his leg, he was also very anxious. Because Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan were busy at work when they were young, they sent Tan Yue to his aunt's house to live for a while. Therefore, Tan Yue and Li Yufang also have a deep relationship, so they were immediately worried. asked:
"Mom, how is my aunt's leg? Have you been to the hospital? Why did you fall? How is it now?"

Li Yulan knew that Tan Yue cared about his aunt, so she immediately told Tan Yue the meaning of what she said to Li Yufang. Tan Yue learned that her aunt was fine and could now walk.
After the re-examination, she recovered well and felt relieved, but she still said:
"Hmm, as long as you can walk. Mom, tell your uncle and Sisi to take good care of your aunt and drink more supplements like bone soup. I will buy some supplements and send them to your aunt. When they arrive, you can Sisi accept it."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll tell them right now."

Because Li Yulan drove the speakerphone, everyone present heard it. Li Yufang was also very moved after hearing this and said:
"Yue Yue, don't worry so much. I have nothing to do here. You should do your work first. Work is important!"

"Auntie, this is all my thoughts. You took care of me for so long when I was a child. Now I worry about you and take care of you, as I should."

Tan Yue said to his aunt on the phone.

When Li Yufang heard her sister talk about Tan Yue's childhood, she said to Li Yulan and Tan Zhaohe without emotion:
"Yue Yue was very naughty when he was a child. At that time, you two had just settled down in Jishui and were busy with work. You didn't have time to take care of Yue Yue, so you sent him to me. You two didn't know that he was But he was restless. He was either smashing windows or climbing trees to dig out bird eggs all day long. The neighbors around him were getting more and more headaches when he mentioned it. That year, he even tricked Sisi who was getting an injection in the clinic to go skating in the river. Old Qian and I were frightened!"

Hearing this, Tan Zhaohe, Li Yulan, Qian Zhendong and Qian Sisi who had just returned from shopping for groceries in the room couldn't help laughing. At this time, Li Yufang said again:

"But who would have thought that a child who was so naughty and mischievous when he was a child is now the pride of our country! Before Yue Yue, we were the ones watching foreign movies. I heard Sisi said that in the past, the highest box office tickets in cinemas were all from foreign countries. Movies, who would have thought that now, our Yueyue's works are popular all over the country, at home and abroad, allowing those foreigners to see what is our Chinese culture of thousands of years and what is a rich historical heritage!"

After listening to the eldest sister's words, Li Yulan and Tan Zhaohe also agreed very much. After all, they used to think that foreign products are good things, and Chinese products are low-end and inferior products. Now our Chinese products have gone abroad and received such high praise. Every Chinese person is quite proud of their reputation. Even Sisi said:

"That's it!"

Then everyone burst into laughter
At this time Tan Zhaohe also said:
"Speaking of Xiao Yue, the Propaganda Department in Jishui came to me a few days ago and said that Tan Yue not only made great contributions to the country and the film industry, because Tan Yue also drove the economic growth of Jishui City. In addition, it has also increased the popularity of Jishui. Although Jishui was also an ancient historical city in the past, it was not that famous. Now because of the Yue Yue, Jishui ranks first among the tourist cities in the four provinces of North China.
Their propaganda department wants to build a memorial hall for Xiao Yue. Yu Lan, please give me your phone and I will tell Xiao Yue! "

Tan Zhaohe took Li Yulan's call and said to Tan Yue:

"Xiao Yue, our Jishui Propaganda Department wants to build a memorial hall for you. They came to Dad and wanted to ask what your opinion is?"

Tan Yue heard it on the phone just now. Now after listening to Tan Zhaohe's words, he thought about it, because although he is now famous at home and abroad and has made some contributions, in general, cities build memorials for one person only for those who do it. Those who have made great contributions to the country and the nation are like the ancestors who risked their lives for the founding of New China and the liberation of the Chinese nation in another world, or the scientists who worked hard day and night for the two bombs and one star in an invisible and nameless manner. , and he, Tan Yue, asked himself, he could not reach such a high height, so Tan Yue directly refused:
"Dad, I don't agree with this matter. I still feel guilty about it! I can rest assured that there's nothing wrong with my aunt! I'm still a little busy at work and have a few meetings in the afternoon, so I'll hang up now. , you and mom, please take care of your health, and I will return to Jishui to see you after I finish this period of work."

When Tan Zhaohe saw that Tan Yue did not agree, he had no choice but to let it go. Originally, he wanted Tan Yue to agree so that his old Tan family could honor its ancestors and said:
"Well, okay. Dad will reject the people from the Propaganda Department when he gets back. You should take care of yourself outside and come back early after this period of work. Dad and your mother are waiting for you at home."
