1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 421 There is a little friction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

When Luo Tao returned home, he noticed very keenly that the atmosphere at home was not right.

My wife, Su Guilan, was sitting on a horse under the grape trellis in the courtyard, silent and looking very ugly.

Zhu Lin held the little girl in his arms and sat at the door of the east wing without saying a word.

Sister He lowered her head in front of the kitchen door and concentrated on picking up the soles.

Little October was not seen in the courtyard, and I don’t know where she went to fool around again.

When the little girl saw Luo Tao come in, she broke away from Zhu Lin's arms and staggered over.

"dad."

Luo Tao's heart almost melted when he heard the sound of milk.

"Run slowly, do you miss daddy?"

"think."

Hugging the little girl, she was about to kiss her. The little girl didn't like to smell Luo Tao's smell of alcohol at all. She pushed away Luo Tao's hands, turned around and threw herself into the arms of her mother Zhu Lin.

The blow was too great.

Su Guilan raised her head and looked at Luo Tao, "Why are you drinking again? Didn't I tell you when I went out? Don't drink, don't drink. Why don't you listen?"

She said many caring words, but the last sentence that hit Luo Tao's heart the most was: "Drinking doesn't cost anything!"

Knowing that she was in a bad mood now, Luo Tao could only apologize and said with a smile: "Mom, this is just for socializing, I can't do it without drinking. Don't worry, others are treating you here today, I will be responsible for eating."

"Hmph! It's not like our family is short of money. Why do we ask others to treat us? We're still asking for favors."

Just by talking about these two sentences, it is not difficult to find that something is wrong with the old lady in my family today.

Luo Tao didn't dare to exchange a few words between mother and son as usual.

He said: "Oh, I know, I'll invite them tomorrow."

Then Luo Tao quietly walked to the faucet and washed his face.

He motioned Zhu Lin to come into the room with his eyes and tell him what was going on.

After she received the message, she naturally carried the little girl back to the bedroom.

Luo Tao followed closely.

Pointing to the courtyard, "What's going on?"

She said in a low voice: "Our dad will take his old classmate to Xichang Building for dinner at noon today. She may have some ideas!"

"No? Our dad and the others went to the store to eat. How did mom know?"

She straightened the little girl's clothes. Why would she want to whet her appetite at such a critical moment? "Say it!"

Luo Tao nudged her with his elbow.

She glanced at Luo Tao with a resentful look, and then said slowly: "Of course it was our dad who said it himself."

"Ok?"

What kind of plot is this.

After some understanding, I found out that my father, Luo Shaoyi, called me to ask my mother, Su Guilan, to accompany him, his old classmate from afar.

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned this matter, but when he mentioned Su Guilan, he became even more angry and didn't even eat much at lunch.

"Oh, did you say when you would come back?"

"That's not mentioned."

This parents matter is really difficult to deal with. You will never encounter this kind of thing in two lifetimes.

My wife, Su Guilan, is an ordinary woman. In addition to her excellent son, she, like many aunts in the capital, has small shortcomings of one kind or another.

It would be strange if she wasn't angry when this happened.

"You two stay at home while I go talk to the old lady. By the way, where is little October?"

After the two of them said a few words, they still didn't forget to ask their son.

"Go to Aunt Tang's house to play with Xiaopang and the others."

"Oh."

Luo Tao left the bedroom in the east wing and walked into the yard. He said gently to Sister He, "Sister He, please go call Xiao October. It's already getting late."

When she heard this, she put down her work and said, "Hey, I'll go right away."

It has been almost two years since I came to the capital, and my accent still has a Yuzhou flavor.

Sister He didn't tidy up her needlework, she just dusted off her clothes and got up to leave.

Su Guilan saw this and shouted: "Wait for me, I will go with you."

She was looking for something to relieve her inner depression.

It's not easy for her to talk about this kind of thing to outsiders, including Luo Tao and Zhu Lin.

"Mom, what are you doing? Sit down first. I have something to tell you." Then he turned to Sister He and said, "Sister He, you are busy with your business."

She realized that it was Luo Tao who sent her out to express his affection.

Without thinking, he quickly left.

After Sister He left, Luo Tao took the ponytail on the side, and held his old lady's hand: "Mom, don't think about it too much, don't you know who my father is?..."

Just when Luo Tao was enlightening her, she said disapprovingly: "Children should not interfere in adults' affairs because they don't understand the rules.

Besides, your dad and I have nothing to do, just be fine, don’t worry about it. "

After saying that, he picked up the little horse and went back to his house.

"This……"

Luo Tao could only pray for his father silently in his heart.

Pray that he never makes mistakes when he is young.

After all, his family property was inherited from his ancestors.

If something unexpected happened, the only thing left to inherit his old man's property would be his pension.

Now all the ancestral property belongs to Luo Tao's name.

He picked up the door frame of the north room, took another look, and paused outside the door for a while.

There was no movement, and then quietly returned to her room.

"What did mom mean when she said that just now? Why do I feel like she was talking about me."

As soon as I entered the house, I met Zhu Lin, who was very grateful.

"You see you are too worried. Mom just said, "Don't ask me." Why did she turn to you instead? It's inexplicable."

Seeing that her face was still filled with color, Luo Tao suddenly felt tired!
Since ancient times, it is difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs. This is not just a matter of talk.

The queen has also become sentimental. If there are two girls, it will really be impossible to live this life.

Regardless of whether the waist is good or not, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is enough for me to worry about.

He pulled her and said, "You don't know what kind of person our mother is, she is always sharp-tongued and has a soft heart.

Besides, how could it possibly be that you are talking about your relationship? Everyone in the alley knows about your relationship, so it’s like the same person.

All I have to do is send you two banners from the street to be a good Chinese wife and a good Chinese mother-in-law. "

Don't forget to kiss me when you're here.

These words made her heart as sweet as honey.

She was immersed in the scene of a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, grinning and saying with a smile, "That's true."

Luo Tao sat by the bed and teased the little girl.

Zhu Lin quickly walked out of the beautiful sitcom and asked with a straight face: "I almost fooled you. I haven't said where I went to drink today."

Luo Tao didn't care, teasing his daughter while answering her: "Didn't Lao Ma and his friend Director Zheng say they wanted to treat me to dinner at my daughter's first birthday party?

Lao Mo's food, today I gave them a good meal. "

"Who asked you this? What do they want from you? It's impossible for them to treat you to dinner for nothing."

She also sat on the edge of the bed and picked up the dolls that the little girl had thrown down.

Luo Tao was so happy that he picked up his thumb and said flatteringly to her: "You are as wise as your daughter-in-law."

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she said, "Go away." After a few jokes, Luo Tao said again: "There is no free lunch in this world. They have made me a rich landlord, and they want to take advantage of me." "

When Zhu Lin heard that they also wanted to donate money to his family, he became a little angry, "They are going too far. Our family does not run a porridge factory, and their TV Art Center is not a disaster area."

Luo Tao was happy when he saw it. This daughter-in-law knew that it was not easy for her family to make money.

He patted her plump hand and said, "I'm not stupid, so of course I can't donate them in vain."

Luo Tao told her about advertising Xichang House and Maple Leaf Garment in the TV series. He did not mention that they had made a TV series and the two parties had cooperated to show it in Hong Kong.

She was very worried, "Is this possible?"

At present, there are really no domestic advertisements in TV dramas. It is not ruled out that some old national brands will appear on TV.

When filming a movie about the Republic of China, it is normal for "cheap shops" to appear.

In the drama after liberation, it is normal for "liberation", "permanence" and "little swan" to appear.

None of the above is advertising in the TV series, it is purely for plot needs.

It has only been a few years since the reform and opening up, and manufacturers have only begun to advertise on TV.

No one is currently thinking of sponsoring film and television crews to drive sales.

This kind of commercial activity only began to take off in the 90s, represented by the "Haima Dance Hall" created by Lao Ma and others.

If this show wasn't sponsored by advertisers, Lao Ma would cry and sing: Brother, I really can't afford to be hurt.

“Don’t worry, it’s okay, the addition of advertisements will not affect their plot.

They must be enjoying themselves now, and may even call me a stupid rich man. "

"Old Zheng, you drank a lot! Have you discussed the matter?"

In the office, a middle-aged man saw that Zheng Xiaolong was not following him, so he quickly helped him to sit down.

"Lao Lu, wherever I tell people, I don't even hit them, they're all solved.

And, hiccup..."

Director Lu quickly patted his back again and poured a cup of warm tea using both hands and feet.

He felt very good knowing that the matter was resolved, and he was not in a hurry to know what Zheng Xiaolong said.

"Drink some water first and speak slowly."

This was all just entertainment, and you can't blame them for some bad behavior.

After all, today Zheng Xiaolong is on paid leave and spending public funds, but these are all dedicated to the art center.

"The director is laughing."

Director Lu waved his hand, indicating for him to continue.

"And they are willing to fund our crew's costumes, and more importantly. Hiccup!"

Director Lu wanted to hear what was going on, so he burped again.

"Excuse me."

After taking a few sips of tea, he calmed down and said, "Mr. Luo Tao said that the film is ready, and he can help us sell the film to Xiangjiang and Haojiang, so that the compatriots there can also see the good film we made. "

These words were so inspiring that Director Lu suddenly stood up and looked at Zheng Xiaolong, "Is he really capable of this?"

When Zheng Xiaolong heard Director Lu ask this, he thought that Luo Tao didn't give him a guarantee that he would be able to do it at the table.

But his tone didn't sound like bragging at that time, and he said firmly: "Director, no matter whether the film can be sold or not, we will not suffer any loss!

This man has an air of mystery about him, and I heard from my friend that he has close contacts with the higher-ups.

If he says he can, [-]% of the time he can. "

Director Lu also knew that Luo Tao was not a mortal, but he knew that he was in the mainland.

Whether this person can work well or not when he arrives in Xiangjiang are two different things.

Nowadays, if you are worth millions in the Mainland, you will definitely be superior to others, but when you come to Xiangjiang, it will be a waste.

He walked around the office, a little undecided. The temptation was great, and it also showed that Luo Tao wanted something great.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Xiaolong had no choice but to lower his head and drink water, giving the leader more time to think.

He is not a reckless person and would cause trouble for his immediate boss at this juncture.

Director Lu walked around, and he almost understood the reasoning behind it.

"Old Zheng, tell me what he wants?"

Zheng Xiaolong didn't hesitate, "... on the premise that the plot is reasonable, the words Xichang Tower and Maple Leaf Clothing should appear, and we are asked to advertise in disguise."

Director Lu was not in a hurry to express his opinion on this. He was a little disbelieving and asked: "That's all?"

"That's all for now, but you still have to come and talk to him about the film being released in Xiangjiang."

"Oh." He thought for a moment, then said to Zheng Xiaolong with a smile: "Old Zheng, you have worked hard today. You also drank a lot, so you'd better go home early and rest. We will have a meeting about this tomorrow."

Zheng Xiaolong also knew that this matter could not be decided by the two of them at once. After all, this was the first time they had encountered advertising in the play.

No matter what, I have to ask for instructions on what it means.

"Okay, you are busy."

Before he went out, Director Lu thought of something else, "By the way, Lao Zheng, I'll pay you for the lunch meal."

Seeing that Zheng Xiaolong was about to refuse, "Okay, don't say anything else. You only get a few dollars a month, so it's up to me."

He came out and said to Feng Pants who was mopping the floor: "Xiao Feng, come here."

There is actually not much age difference between the two, but in terms of level, they are far apart.

It's okay to call him "Xiao Feng". He's still happy to call him that.

Xiao Feng's cry made him happy, and his heart kept telling him that he must be calm.

As soon as Director Zheng entered, the leader called him, so there was no need to guess, it was definitely a good thing.

He also knew why Zheng Xiaolong was looking for Luo Tao.

He gritted his teeth. If you don't see this situation often, you will definitely feel unappetizing when eating.

I don’t know how those flowers could bear to hurt Director Feng’s sweet mouth.

"Come on, Director."

Place the mop gently and out of the way.

Take small steps, be as calm as you want, and be as confident as you want.

In fact, it was because the floor he had just mopped was too slippery, and he was afraid of falling and causing embarrassment, so that his boss would not think that he was a frivolous person.

Walking up to Director Lu, grinning his teeth again, he asked with a smile, "What's the matter with the leader? You just have to say, and promise to complete the task."

Director Lu lowered his hand from high to low, showing a leadership temperament, "I don't have any big tasks for you."

This sentence is really like eating popsicles in the cold winter months, which makes your heart feel cold and cool.

Feng Pants still had a smile on his face.

"You take Director Zheng home by bike.

I'll give you half a day off. "

Although what Director Lu said was unreasonable, Feng Pants was still very concerned about this job.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission."

When he came in, he helped Zheng Xiaolong out. Zheng Xiaolong didn't drink much, but when there was no one to talk to, his head became a little confused.

He is still conscious now.

As soon as the two left, Director Lu returned to the office and everyone else started talking about it.

"Is "Undercover Police" going to be filmed?"

"This Feng Pants doesn't look very good, but he's very thoughtful."

"Old Zhao, what do you think of this?"
