1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 598 Isn't it too good?

A week after the news of Tao Huimin's pregnancy was announced, Mother Tao came to Yanjing, full of things like every time she came.This time I brought more things, all of which were used to replenish Tao Huimin's body.

As soon as the mother and daughter met, Mother Tao grabbed Tao Huimin, looked left and right, frowned and said, "Too thin."

"Mom, I've gained a few pounds."

After Tao Huimin found out she was pregnant, apart from the occasional retching, most of the time she had a good appetite, and she especially liked all kinds of meat.

In the past few nights, Lin Weimin took her almost every day to various restaurants in Yanjing for toothbrush.

"What are you afraid of if you are fat? My grandson will be nourished only if you are fatter. I brought a lot of things, and I will make up for you later. I can't lose my grandson."

With a grandson, Tao Huimin's status in Tao's mother's heart suddenly dropped, and she acted like a baby with her mother dissatisfied.

In the evening, Han Zhuangzhuang's family came to Shizhu.

Tao Huimin's pregnancy was a happy event for the family, and it happened that Tao's mother came to Yanjing, and they had a lively meal together.

Because she was pregnant, she didn't need Tao Huimin to cook. She sat on the sofa, and the little girl ran over and stared at her belly innocently.

"When will little uncle come out?"

Tao Huimin smiled and said, "It's early, there are still more than seven months."

The little girl counted on her fingers, "One month, two months..."

The adults were amused by her and laughed.

The next day, Lin Weimin went to the Shichahai courtyard.

Shi Tiesheng's "I and the Temple of Earth" was published on "Contemporary" a few months ago. In the article, Shi Tiesheng's calm demeanor and courage in the face of fate, his calmness and compassion beyond life and death moved countless readers and aroused strong responses across the country.

A letter from a reader once commented: "I and the Temple of Earth" is to Shi Tiesheng, just like "The Ordinary World" is to Lu Yao, and "White Deer Plain" is to Cheng Zhongshi.

This kind of evaluation is undoubtedly extremely high, not only affirming the literary, artistic and ideological quality of the prose "I and the Temple of Earth", but also affirming Shi Tiesheng's achievements in literary creation, placing him among the top Chinese writers.

Recently, Yu Qiuyu's collection of essays "Cultural Journey" has been very popular, and the popularity of essays in society seems to be on the rise, so the Guowen Society plans to publish a few collections of essays to try.

Shi Tiesheng's prose is outstanding among domestic writers, and this year's "Ditan and I" is very popular. It is one of the best choices for Guowen Society to publish his prose collection.

After listening to Lin Weimin's speech, Shi Tiesheng happily agreed to the matter.

In the past two years, he has grown older and his health is not as good as before. Although he keeps working hard and earns a lot of money every year, most of his income is still spent on medical treatment.

He is naturally happy to have one more book.

"This time I also get the royalties."

Lin Weimin joked, "Maybe he can make as much money as Wang Shuo!"

"If I can make as much money as he does, I'll be great!"

Two days later, the sample booklet of Rong Shihui's collection of fables came out, and Lin Weimin sent it to Xie Sutai.

The booklet of "Rong Shihui's Fables Collection" is very thin, because it is not up to the standard of a book, so the club specially matched each story with exquisite illustrations.

Looking at the posthumous work of her late husband, Xie Sutai looked sad, with tears in her eyes, and kept saying thank you to Lin Weimin.

"Sister, if you want to say thanks, it should be the Guowen Society to thank Lao Rong. He dedicated his best youth to the Guowen Society, and through his hands, he has set up countless famous steles for the Guowen Society in contemporary literature."

Hearing Lin Weimin's thanks, Xie Sutai's tears flowed down uncontrollably. Lin Weimin's words were the highest recognition of Rong Shihui's achievements in this life.

The print run of "Rong Shihui's Fables Collection" is not many, only [-] copies, and it is unlikely to be printed in the future, but at least it has been published, fulfilling Rong Shihui's last wish during his lifetime.

On the weekend, Lin Weimin came to the guest house of Yanying Film Factory.

Jiang Wen's movie has not started shooting since last year and this year, and Jiang Wen has been tossing about the actors for the past two months.

Other actors are easy to talk about, but when it comes to the selection of male and female leading actors, Jiang Wen started to make mistakes again.

The leading actor is Ma Xiaojun, and Jiang Wen has to find an actor who looks like him when he was a teenager. How narcissistic is he?

The other is the heroine Milan, who belongs to the muse imagined by Jiang Wen. She has to be beautiful, have a good figure, and also have to be foreign-looking, so that the little sweet potatoes will blush and blush at a glance.

Anyway, the script was all set, and the casting of actors didn't cost much money. It was nothing but a waste of time, and Lin Weimin didn't care.

Last night, Jiang Wen called and said that he had selected another group of actors and asked Lin Weimin to come over and show them.

When Lin Weimin arrived at the guest house, he saw a group of young boys and girls, the boys were of the highest stature, but the girls were all beautiful.

Obviously, Jiang Wen wanted to find a hero who looked like him, and his purpose was definitely not pure.

He himself is not good looking, so he wants his avatar to be the most handsome in the movie, even if it is to make him bigger.

Don't even think about being an actress, it's purely to satisfy Jiang Wen's teenage fantasies.

"Mr. Lin, look, these kids are good seedlings that the crew has found from all over the country."

Jiang Wen first gave Lin Weimin a stack of photos, Lin Weimin took the photos without looking at them, and asked, "Do you have any favorite candidates?"

"Yes!" Seeing that Lin Weimin let him decide, Jiang Wen became excited all of a sudden, and he picked out a few photos from a pile of photos.

"Look, this is Ma Xiaojun, this is Milan, and..."

Lin Weimin looked at the few photos that Jiang Wen picked out, and they were no different from what he remembered.

Xia Yu, Geng Le, Ning Jing, Tao Hong, the main actors of the movie are all alive.

"Okay, as long as you are optimistic about it. It's already September, hurry up and turn it on."

Lin Weimin's trust made Jiang Wen very excited, "Mr. Lin, you understand me. But I think, what I want for this movie is the feeling of summer. Summer is almost over now, and I don't feel much when shooting. I think I can wait another half a year, next year..."

Jiang Wen didn't continue, because he watched Lin Weimin's face darken bit by bit.

"As a director, don't you know that there is a thing called a filter? Wait until next summer to shoot? Okay, I will ask Mike to withdraw the funds first, and no one will care about your next year's shoot!"

Lin Weimin knew Jiang Wen well, this guy belonged to someone who would dare to open a dyeing workshop if he gave him three points of color. Originally, Lin Weimin wanted to respect him as a director, but this guy's brain circuit really made people unable to respect him.

"Look at you, don't be angry, I'll just say that." Jiang Wen quibbled and showed weakness.

"Don't talk nonsense! It's been more than half a year of preparation, and now that the actors have been selected, what work is left? Can it be done within half a month?" Lin Weimin asked impatiently.

Jiang Wen looked distressed, "Half a month? Time is a little tight."

"It's hard to make a movie, I don't think you are the material, and you can be an actor with peace of mind in the future, don't blah!"

Lin Weimin's provocative method was very useful, Jiang Wen immediately said: "Half a month is half a month, it must be turned on."

"Okay, then it's a deal. Hurry up and prepare. Let me know when the start-up date is set. I'll notify Mike to come and attend the start-up ceremony."

After two sentences, the start-up was decided, and Lin Weimin was about to leave the guest house.

Jiang Wen sent him out of the room, and ran into a girl head-on, and laughed before he could speak, "Director!"

Tao Hong said hello to Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wen introduced, "This is Yu Beibei's actor Tao Hong, and this is Mr. Lin, the producer of our movie."

"Hello, Teacher Lin!" Tao Hong said hello obediently.

Lin Weimin nodded, and wanted to remind: girl, be careful with bald heads in the future!

"Ms. Lin, I'll take you out." Jiang Wen said.

With that said, the two went out.

Back home in the afternoon, Tao Huimin secretly found Lin Weimin.

"You will say later that there is a party tonight, and you have to take me with you."

"What are you doing?" Lin Weimin was at a loss.

"I really don't want to drink my mother's stewed soup. Take me to change it tonight." Tao Huimin wrinkled her face, feeling very wronged.

Sister Sun has not been in the house for a long time. After a few days as a chef, she was replaced by Mother Tao. Now she is only in charge of purchasing. She will buy whatever vegetables Mother Tao asks her to buy.

Now every meal in the family is served by the chef Tao Mu, with meat and vegetables, four dishes and one soup. Almost every day there are crucian carp soup, pig's feet soup, chicken soup, and those supplements brought from Rui'an's hometown.

Within a few days, Tao Huimin's face had rounded up, and even Lin Weimin gained a few pounds.

Lin Weimin looked at her cute appearance and said dotingly, "What do you want to eat?"

Tao Huimin first looked around vigilantly, and made sure that Mother Tao was not nearby, "Take me to KFC!"

She swallowed her saliva while she was talking, obviously it was caused by the glutton in her stomach.

Lin Weimin frowned and said, "KFC is junk food..."

Halfway through his speech, he looked at the pleading look in Tao Huimin's eyes, and said, "Just eat this once, too much is not good for the child."

Like a greedy cat, Tao Huimin nodded while swallowing, "Okay, just this once, and I won't eat it again."

The first KFC in Yanjing opened in 87, at Qianmen.

It happened to be in November during the winter when it opened. On the first day of opening, thousands of customers waited for two hours in the cold weather for a meal of KFC, and even called the police to maintain order.

The price of KFC is not cheap, the price of a set meal is 7 yuan and 3 cents, but this price has not weakened the enthusiasm of Yanjing people for this place.

In the past few years since its opening, KFC's daily sales have not been less than 4 RMB, which ranks first among more than 7000 KFC chain stores around the world, far exceeding No.2.In the second year of its opening, the cost of Qianmen "KFC Hometown Chicken Fast Food Restaurant" was fully recovered.

Eating a meal of KFC, for young people and children in Yanjing these days, it is a very prestigious thing.

In the past few years since KFC opened, Lin Weimin took Tao Huimin there two or three times, and Tao Huimin didn't like the food very much even if he tried it occasionally.

But it may be that pregnancy has changed my appetite. When I mentioned KFC today, I almost drool.

After the two discussed it, before Mother Tao was ready to cook, Lin Weimin said, "Mom, you don't have to cook for Huimin and me tonight. My friend is sick, and we are going to visit him."

"Let's go after dinner." Mother Tao said.

"No need, Mom. We're going to Tiesheng's house. Every time the two of us go, their family has to bring food. It's embarrassing not to eat."

Mother Tao didn't force herself when she saw this, "Okay, come back early that night."

"understood."

Tao Huimin excitedly agreed, and couldn't wait to pull Lin Weimin out.

The two got into the car, and Tao Huimin had just put on his seat belt when he suddenly said, "Hey, is it not good for you to say that we are so cursed?"

"I didn't lie, he was already sick." Lin Weimin retorted, and then subconsciously added with a guilty conscience: "After dinner, buy something for him."

Tao Huimin nodded, feeling at ease, "That's a good idea!"
