Director of the Centre

Chapter 55
After burning incense and paper for the ancestors, Han Lu heaved a sigh of relief, took out the gifts he had prepared from his bag, and gave them to his parents respectively.

He bought a scarf for his mother, a bright red one. The old lady was very happy, touched it, and said it was soft and warm, and she was going to put it in the closet.

Han Lu's father scolded: "I'll wrap it up if I give it to you, and put it in the closet. I won't wrap it until the spring is warm and the flowers bloom? There's something wrong!"

Mother was a little embarrassed, Han Lu hurriedly wrapped her up.

Father smoked and drank, so Han Lu bought him two "Ashima", and said, Dad, don't think the cigarettes are cheap, but I bought them last time when I went to the Honghe performance with the people in the troupe, Bao Zhen.

The old man took it, and threw it on the sofa with a cold snort, then kept looking into the empty bag.

Han Lu suddenly felt guilty: "Dad, what are you looking at?"

Father Han: "Is there nothing else?"

Han Lu: "I'm only in my early [-]s a month, and I have enough to eat. I'm really gone. Dad, what do you want, I'll buy it for you another day."

Han Lu's father: "I want a daughter-in-law, can you buy it back? You just come back alone, 26, do you have the face, do you have the nerve to go home?"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the old lady hurriedly said, "Old man, don't you feel hungry when you eat?"

The New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous, with chicken, duck, and fish. Both the father and son were drinking, so they drank slowly and chatted.Han Lu's mother didn't talk much, so she just sat and listened silently. The TV was on, and the Spring Festival Gala was broadcasting inside.Fei Yuqing is singing "Thousands of Miles Away".

The snow fell quietly, and the swept yard was white again.

Father Han picked up the cup and said to Han Lu, "Master, come, let me toast you."

Han Lu: "Dad...you..."

Father Han has already become popular: "You are an old man with a lot of work, so it is not easy for you to go home. We are looking forward to the stars and the moon, which means we have brought you home. On behalf of the whole family, I welcome you."

"I..." Han Lu was a little at a loss, he really didn't understand why his father was so aggressive.

I went home on time on New Year's Eve!

He is still mad at me for going to work in Jinsha City thousands of miles away from home!

Dad: "Why, don't drink, look down on your father and me?"

"Father, don't scold me when you're thirty!" Han Lu smiled apologetically, "I drink and I drink."

"Wait, I haven't finished talking yet." Father Han: "You turned 26 last month, and you will be 27 in the new year, and you will be 30 after a while. You should have a girlfriend and start a family. I hope we meet next time. When you are no longer alone."

Han Lu smiled wryly and said, I am enough to live alone, why should I get married!

Father Han said, fart, everyone thinks like this, if you don’t get married or have children, then the human race will not perish, and you are the sinner of the country, the sinner of the nation.

Seeing that the father and son were about to talk stiffly, the mother hurriedly said, don't talk about it when it's Chinese New Year, let the child have a good meal.

Father Han: "What do you know as a rural woman, go."

Han Lu's mother hurriedly picked up a lump of bean dregs cake with chopsticks and gave it to her son: "Xiao Lu, haven't you always wanted to eat the bean dregs cake made by mom? Try it soon, will it come out?"

After Han Lu ate a piece, his body was immediately so spicy: "It's delicious, it's so delicious, it's really delicious!"

Father Han, like Han Lu, is a person who likes to chatter non-stop after drinking. Our comrade Xiao Han didn't enjoy the meal very much.After eating, he said: "Dad, Mom, I'm going back to the house to rest first."

Father Han: "Take a break and stay."

Han Lu's mother: "The child has been in the car for two days, let him sleep."

"No, you have to watch the New Year's Eve, or it's unlucky." According to the customs of my hometown, I can't go to bed until after midnight on the New Year's Eve, so that the whole family will have a safe and peaceful meeting in the coming year.

Han Lu shook his head speechlessly, so he could only sit on the sofa and watch TV with his parents.Fortunately, the Spring Festival Gala in [-] was very good. The sketch "Torchbearer" made people laugh out of tears.

"Papa papa!" The sound of firecrackers sounded, and it was midnight.

The family of three came to the yard and prayed to the night sky illuminated by fireworks.

Han Lu naturally prayed to God to make him rich and rich. Of course, given his income and the nature of his work, that was impossible, and it was just a beautiful vision.

The mother said: "Bless my son's life safe, white and fat, eat and sleep well."

The old man suddenly cursed loudly at the falling snow sky: "God, if you have eyes, you will send down a girl to take care of my little beasts, little bastards, and little bastards. God, are you blind? I bring down such a disaster!"

A good Spring Festival turned into a forced marriage, and Han Lu regretted going home a bit.

Of course, it is still very comfortable to go home and sleep until noon every day before getting up.There is an old lady to help with cooking and washing, so you don't have to worry about everything.

On the first day of junior high school, according to the custom, he was not allowed to go out, so he just read at home for a day.

From the second day of junior high school, I started to visit relatives and friends.

Han Lu and his middle school classmates got together a few times to learn about the public examination situation in his hometown.

Going to work in Jinsha City, thousands of miles away, and leaving the elders in their hometown, it seems not very good, why don't you just take the exam and come back?

As soon as they inquired, the students all shook their heads, saying, Han Lu, don't be confused, what are you going to do after the exam, how hard is it to think about it?
Seeing that Hanlu was not liberated, everyone said, isn't this a big education county? Every year, if there are no more than 985 or [-] Qingbei resumption of diplomatic relations, the director of the education bureau will be ashamed and hard to see.Senior high school graduates, if you do not pass the [-] exam, you will be a loser. Find out about the [-]% university admission rate.

There are too many top students in our county. It is not uncommon for hundreds of people to compete for one position.Han Lu, do you think you are one in a few percent?
Han Lu smiled wryly and said, I'm not that good yet.

This is the so-called internal examination on the Internet more than ten years later, especially in the hometown district and county where the examination machine is specially produced.

The students said again, now everyone specially takes the test in remote mountainous areas, and some even go to other provinces to take the test, Han Lu, I advise you to take the test in Jinsha City, at least you can be sure.

Han Lu was a little shaken, and said, I think about it again, I am really worried about my parents.

Speaking of parents, all the students said with emotion, we are all 26 and 28 years old, and some students are [-] to [-], and they have reached the age to support their parents, what a life!
Everyone said, why did this person become an adult by accident?

During the Chinese New Year, Han Lu used the phone to contact Lu Chaoyang and the actors in the troupe. He was a little worried that something bad happened there.

The information that came back was very good. The army of walking acupoints set off from the second day of junior high school.

Although the place they went to was the hometown of the boss in the other country, the economy was developed there and it had become a small town with good transportation and living conditions.

During the performance, there were huge crowds of people, and the scene was lively. It is said that the local TV station even went to record the video and made a news report.

It's not that the villagers know and love drama, it's probably because of the face of the boss.

The old lady's birthday banquet was very rich and beautiful. She was addicted to the drama, and when she was happy, she even gave out red envelopes, except for the actor who played Ma Su.

Shou Xing pointed at Ma Di's nose and cursed, "You lost the street pavilion, you ruined Kong Ming's great career in the Northern Expedition, you still have the nerve to ask for money, don't you blush?"
Ma Di was very aggrieved, and talked with Han Lu on the phone for a long time, saying that he had to ask for a red envelope, otherwise he would not be able to finish his work and he would stop acting.

Han Ludao, your head was chopped off by Zhuge Liang, and you can't act if you want to.Don't worry, I'll do Boss Lu's job and let him take care of you.How much money is in the red envelope... 100 yuan, I said, what about you... As for... well, don't be angry, I will take care of it.

After coming down, Han Lu communicated with Lu Chaoyang, saying that you should make up the 100 yuan.At the beginning, Lu Chaoyang was still reluctant. Comrade Xiao Han persuaded that the reason why Ma Di didn't get the red envelope was because he sang really well.If it's not good, it can't arouse the resentment of the old lady. You have the heart to sacrifice so much for art, this drama and the team?
Lu Chaoyang: "It seems to be the reason, yes, I will give him the red envelope."
