1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 221 The simple friendship returns to Beijing [Please subscribe for more updates]

Luo Tao and Zhu Lin returned to the crew's residence, and the meals were ready. They stewed a big pot with three chickens. These were old hens that Luo Tao bought from a fellow villager who didn't like to lay eggs.

These three chickens were killed by fellow villagers, and Luo Tao paid them double the price in the market.

This is not a flood of Luo Tao's love. It is not easy for the fellow villagers to raise a few chickens. They raise chickens not for eating chickens, but mainly for eggs.

The eggs laid can not only be sold, but can also hatch chicks. In this way, the chicks will be recycled and the money for buying chicks will be saved.

Nowadays, scrambled eggs in rural areas are regarded as meat dishes. If you eat one egg a day, you will definitely be rich. Only those with ten thousand yuan would dare to make this kind of food.

"Come and sit down! Today we are enjoying the glory again and have a meal of chicken stewed in an iron pot." When Director Wu saw Luo Tao and the others coming, he quickly pulled him to the main seat to sit with Mr. Wang.

After everyone arrived, a few polite words were exchanged. If anyone was embarrassed at this time, he would not be able to eat the meat.

"Come on, let's raise a glass together and thank Mr. Luo for supporting us."

Director Wu took the lead in toasting to Luo Tao. The glasses were all small glasses borrowed from the village by the village party secretary.

Luo Tao raised his glass and stood up.Said: "This is the first glass of wine. According to me, we don't respect anyone, but we respect ourselves. Do you think it's good?"

"it is good!"

As soon as Gu Changwei took the lead, everyone agreed.

After one glass of wine, he said, "Everyone, sit down and eat the food."

When everyone's wine glasses were filled, Luo Tao sat down, raised his glass and said to Director Wu: "Director Wu, I will be a guest today. You have a large capacity, so you can't blame me."

"Whatever you are saying, if you know how to say it, just say a few more words, it doesn't matter."

The two of them drank the wine as soon as it was full. When the wine was full, they said, "Let's all give a toast to the Party Secretary and thank him for his help to our crew."

Secretary Gao, who was eating meat, heard Luo Tao want to toast him, and quickly raised his glass, "Hahaha! It's all as it should be."

The third cup was given to Director Wu and Lu Yao who was not present, the fourth cup was given to all the actors and crew, and the fifth cup was given to Mr. Wang, thanking him for taking the lead these times.

After paying tribute, there was nothing more to say. Gu Changwei could not help but say, "Master Luo, this is your fault. Everyone has paid respect, so how can you be left out?"

The young people in the crew began to boo, including the aloof Zhou Lijing.

"I have nothing to respect. Not only do I have no merits, I also have many shortcomings. I didn't come to the crew to accompany you through hardships. I just used power to watch my wife. Don't imitate me."

After Luo Tao finished speaking, everyone started laughing. Luo Tao didn't have any airs when getting along with everyone. He was easy-going, easy to talk to, and very generous. Especially the two seconds of the scene in the play made them feel like this person. He takes things very seriously instead of just messing around.

"Mr. Luo, you are too humble. Without your novel, we would not get together to create it..."

Luo Tao's face turned a little red when he said this, thinking that I am just a copycat, and this is not worthy of praise.

"Director Wu, what you said is wrong. "Mountains Away and Roads Away" was not created by me. I am just a passerby in this era.

This story really happened. I just happened to see it and record it. It’s nothing.

I hope that the unmarried gays and lesbians here will take this story as a warning.

I hope you all learn to be independent, independent, strong, and most importantly, cherish the people in front of you and never miss them. "

Luo Tao talked in short words about his humble opinion, but they didn't know whether they listened or not, so they clapped along.

After the farewell banquet, Luo Tao chatted with Director Wu and the others for a few more words, and also left Uncle Wang's phone number in the alley. If anything happened or if he went to the capital, he could go to Baihua Courtyard to find him.Then he donated 1000 yuan to the village on behalf of the "Life" film crew to improve the village primary school. Donating this money was also Luo Tao's recognition of the senior party secretary, otherwise Luo Tao would never mention it.

Public welfare activities such as donations have also become a "vanity fair" for later generations, competing for comparison.

(But it’s okay for celebrities to donate more. The yin-yang contract is too scary.)
Then I gave Director Wu 1000 yuan and asked him to add more oil and water to each meal of the staff. It is impossible to eat meat every day for a family of more than 70 people.

After the matter was settled, Luo Tao and Zhu Lin went out to hang out and chat.

"I'll be leaving tomorrow. Do you miss me?" Luo Tao held her hand and walked on the quiet country road.

Occasionally, a fellow villager would come out to enjoy the coolness and sleep under a big tree, saying hello to the two of them, or a few barking dogs would wake up the dark and quiet night.

"think."

"Hehehe, do you want to go to the woods?" Luo Tao smiled mischievously.

Zhu Lin looked at him and said harshly, "Get lost!"

Then his face turned away, feeling a little sad and sobbing slightly.

Luo Tao hugged her and read a poem written by Gu Cheng that his wife liked very much: "You look at me for a while, and you look at the clouds for a while."

Zhu Lin continued: "I feel that when you look at me, I am far away, but when you look at the clouds, they are very close."

The two of them collaborated to read this short poem with a long meaning.

Hugging and kissing, maybe this is love!
…………

The next day, at dawn, the four of them got the Buddha statue into the car first.

Then he shook hands with those who saw him off and said goodbye.

Finally, I hugged Zhu Lin and said, "Be serious about filming and take care of yourself. My son, parents, and I are waiting for your triumphant return in the capital."

"Well, this is the gift I bought for Little October and my parents. You should take it with you. You and Mr. Wang should also pay attention to safety."

After the couple finished talking, Zhu Lin turned to talk to Mr. Wang.

Secretary Gao, his son, and many people in the village brought baskets filled with red dates and walnuts from Yanchuan to see off Luo Tao and the others.

"Comrade Luo, we poor people don't have anything good to give you. We just have these dates and these walnuts. Don't dislike them. They are delicious to take with you on the road. To put it bluntly, these are the things you have in your city. People don’t necessarily have to eat shit.”

Luo Tao did not expect that Party Secretary Gao and the others would come to see him off early in the morning, and said with a smile: "Thank you, folks..." Party Secretary Gao, you are not talking big words, you are telling the truth. These red dates from Yanchuan , I have heard his name long ago, this gift is too precious."

"Hahaha, if Comrade Luo likes it, we will pretend it for you."

Luo Tao asked Xu Le and Qizi to take over the red dates and walnuts given by the villagers. Only half of each basket was filled. Luo Tao put ten yuan under each basket. Now he could only use this most direct way to express his gratitude. This friendship.

"There were too many things, and I packed a lot of them. I took some in one basket. Thank you to the folks. I will come to our Gaojiawan Village to have a look when I have time."

After saying goodbye to them, Luo Tao and the others rushed in the direction of Chang'an in a car.

On July [-]rd, a group of four people took a short break in Chang'an to say goodbye to Manager Zhao, and after settling issues such as the ownership of the two bicycles, the four of them boarded the train back to Beijing.
