Golden Age 1990

Chapter 4 My laid-off worker father
"Did I not show my acting skills in the last paragraph?"

Bai Feng came out of the newspaper office and waited for the bus. He couldn't help but recall the strange look in his mother's eyes just now.

It's full of deep love...but it's just weird.

While falling into deep thought, Bai Feng caught another pair of eyes.

These eyes are very interesting, its owner seems to be some kind of shy little animal, just glanced at Bai Feng, and then ran away.

Bai Feng naturally looked along, although what he saw was only the profile, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

It's Weekly, and apparently she's done working as a calendar model.

It's completely different from when I was shooting the calendar before, now she's wearing a red Plum Blossom brand sportswear, this style is still quite popular at the moment, and it looks better than Bai Feng's school uniform.

Her hair was simply tied into a ponytail, the heavy lipstick was gone from her face, and the previous heavy makeup was gone, leaving her looking clean.

She looks like a female publicist in her 20s on the calendar. Yes, there is such a TV series called Miss Public Relations, which is quite popular.

Now she looks like a female student, oh no, she is a female student.

In Bai Feng's opinion, this is much better than before.

There is also a mature woman beside her, probably her teacher.

The two are chatting...

"It was a good shot this time."

"Ah."

"The key is the audition afterwards, you have to be prepared."

"Ah."

"It's a big factory, and this opportunity is pretty good."

"Uh-huh."

In fact, he didn't hear it very clearly, but Bai Feng already had a rough inference.

Mr. Zhou's trip to the north this time should not only be for the shooting of calendars, but also for the shooting of commercials.

Many friends may not be aware that Shencheng has actually been the center of our domestic advertising industry for a long time.

There are many advertising companies in this city, and many classic advertisements have been shot.

For example, there are advertisements from several major domestic airlines, as well as Mr. Chen Peishi’s instant noodles advertisement, and Jiang Wen’s Qinchi Wine advertisement.

The advertisement for Qin Chijiu was called 'My Sun', and Jiang Wen was wearing a decent tuxedo, and directed a section of 'My Sun'.

This ad seemed inexplicable, but Jiang Wen was paid 1000 million yuan for the film, and he paid a tax in Shencheng at the time, so it made headlines.

At that time, Shencheng's advertising industry had indeed been brilliant, but all those who could leave later left, mainly to the Shanghai Capital and the Imperial City.

Thinking about it, I was inexplicably embarrassed... But at this moment, those eyes looked over again.

Bai Feng looked back.

She ducked again.

Bai Feng felt that it was not good to stare at others like this, so he looked away.

But within 2 minutes, she looked over again.

Bai Feng looked back.

She hid again.

what's the situation?
At this time, the bus came.

Unexpectedly, they were in the same car.

It should be intentional, Zhou Xun followed the teacher and got into the car from another door.

At this time, there are buses with one section and two sections connected together, especially the kind of "big braid" which basically has two sections.

Often this kind of two-section, there are probably three doors, and there is no saying that the front is up and the back is down.

If you want to find a seat, each of you should rely on your ability to see who can squeeze more.

Bai Feng was not tired, and he had eaten two large bowls of meat noodles, so he was able to digest his food while standing.

So, he was almost the last to get in the car, far away from the girl Zhou Xun, and could hardly see her.

The car moves slowly, but no matter how slow it is, it will arrive at the station.

After two stops, there were far fewer people on the bus.

That's right, it's not the rush hour for get off work, and Shencheng doesn't have as many old men and old ladies as later. There are many people at the newspaper station, but after that, there are not many people.

The long two-section bus gradually became empty.

Bai Feng purposely stood at the junction of two carriages, which resembled a train. The floor at this junction was a circular iron plate, which would rotate as the carriage moved.

If you make a big turn, the turn will be huge and very interesting. This is his favorite place to stand when he was young.

Bai Feng hasn't taken a bus for many years, and this kind of old-fashioned bus is even more dusty in his memory. At this moment, this behavior is a bit childish...

It’s only natural that I’m 19 this year and just graduated from high school.

The young man's face was full of smiles, but he seemed to feel something.

Bai Feng couldn't help turning his head to look over, and met that gaze again.

What’s interesting is that she immediately avoided him when they were introduced to each other like this.

Not a car, you still look at me?

The boy's heart became stronger and stronger, so he just watched it this time.

Stare at it without blinking!
As an old scumbag in his 50s, Bai Feng can naturally see clearly that this kid is too sweet.

Cough cough, this is not the point, the point is competition.

Bai Feng knew that Zhou Xun knew that I was looking at her.

It just depends on whether she will look at me.

As long as she saw it, she lost.

A child’s desire to win!
But the interesting thing is that Bai Feng seems to be sure that Zhou Xun also wants to win.

Just like that, the two had a contest in the void.

Finally, after another stop, she looked over.

He turned his head again in an instant, but this time it was much faster than before, and the range of movement was naturally larger.

"what happened to you?"

"No, nothing."

The female teacher has noticed something, but what can we Xun brothers say.

Fortunately, they have arrived.

Bai Feng took advantage of the victory and pursued him, even if he got off the car, he would still keep an eye on him.

As a result, Mr. Zhou glared at him.

The anger value is not low.

But no matter what, I won!

It's true that he is a bit childish, but isn't he graduating from high school now?

In fact, even when Bai Feng reached middle age, he would sometimes behave childishly.

There was a time when he liked the "Daydreamer" very much, so he became interested in skateboarding.

Then... I became friends with an orthopedic surgeon.

The other party has been very curious, how did a middle-aged man break his leg like that?

That’s a pair of good legs, and I earn millions a year.

Bai Feng just said that he fell off the bed and fell to the ground, he couldn't remember what happened in his sleep.

This is the first time he lied and didn't ask for money after becoming an advertising man.

However, he must mature for the next color TV tower advertising sales plan.

……

The Bai family lives in a building, of course it is a house divided by the unit.

In this era, being able to live in a building is quite enviable.

However, this house was built in the 70s.

The area is small, the bathroom is public, cooking is in the corridor, the sound insulation is not good, it is cold in winter and hot in summer...the rest are all advantages.

Fortunately, I remember that the heating pipes are going to be remodeled recently.

Bai Feng opened the door with the key hanging around his neck, and he saw a strange yet familiar look at home.

The yellowed old furniture, the 14-inch black and white TV, the Yanwu recorder, and the folded dining table...

When I closed the door, my eyes were already inexplicably moist.

My parents have no other income except salary, bonuses and benefits from their work unit, even though they have opportunities.

For example, it's completely legal. Dad was poached by a private company in the south, but he didn't go there. He just said that the factory still needed him.

It can also be said that they are honest people and they believe in their country.

They believe that there is more to life than just making money.

Bai Feng is different...

Touching the scene and falling in love, I still don't think much about it.

After wiping his face, Bai Feng returned to his small room, which could only accommodate a bed and a small table.

He found a pen and paper and planned to write a proposal.

This time he was selling the color TV tower advertisement. In fact, he had already decided who he wanted to sell it to.

First write four big characters:

Snow beer.

……

Bai Bing received a call from his wife before leaving get off work, saying that he had something to discuss.

I just never expected...

"Old Bai, you also know that the college entrance examination is a single-plank bridge for thousands of troops to cross."

"Well, wife, I know...could it be?"

"Xiao Feng is very emotionally unstable right now. He may have failed the exam."

"I failed the exam this time, come back next year, what's the matter?"

"It's easy for you to say! Our son is so angry."

"Yes, this child has had strong self-esteem since he was a child. I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it... Wife, you have experience in this area. You haven't reported on it before..."

"Old Bai, do you want our family to be reported?"

"How can it be."

"You, you don't even know how filial our son is. Even though he is like this, he also said he wants to earn tens of thousands of dollars for the family."

"Tens of thousands? Is he crazy?"

"You're crazy!"

"I, I said the wrong thing... I will do whatever you say."

"Follow it, follow him as much as possible, after this paragraph is over, maybe you can figure it out."

"It's easy to do."

Just like that, Bai Bing and Liu Qinghui returned home.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw his son Bai Feng standing in front of him.

Bai Bing tried his best to smile directly.

So is Liu Qinghui.

But the expressions on the two of them caught Bai Feng's eyes, especially his father's expression...

Bai Feng's deepest impression of his father came from a major event that happened a few years later.

It was a major event that affected countless families. Some people gritted their teeth and started over, while others gritted their teeth and couldn't sing.

As an advanced in the factory, you must also play an exemplary role at this time.

Dad was the first batch of laid-off workers in the factory.

Bai Feng was already working at that time, and he didn't know about it until he came back from the Chinese New Year.

My father was like that at that time, his smile was forced out.

Of course Bai Feng understood what his father meant.

He wanted to say: I'm fine, I'm fine.

But what is different from now is that the confusion in those eyes can't be concealed even though there is an effort.

That is the appearance of a person who does not know what to do.

Bai Feng will never forget.

After this incident, Bai Feng resigned and became an advertiser, focusing on making money.

And now... the cunning middle-aged man has not seen his father for more than ten years. The day his father left, he closed the door and cried alone.

Only that day did he finally understand that he could cry without making a sound.

In fact, this alone is enough to shatter all his disguises.

Bai Feng hugged his parents, buried his head, and burst into tears.

When the son cried like this, Bai Bing and Liu Qinghui also shed tears.

However, Bai Bing looked at his wife.

'Is my son's condition already so serious? '

Liu Qinghui wiped away her tears and nodded.

Bai Feng naturally didn't know what his parents' eyes were communicating with. He cried so much that his emotions were released a lot, and he felt pretty good.

So, it's time to get down to business.

"Dad, Mom, give me 1000 yuan."

After crying, I asked for money, which was still as big as 1000 yuan.

On weekdays, this would be a famous dish, fried pork with a broom!

But what were you talking about before?

"Okay!" Bai Bing agreed happily.

Liu Qinghui was a little embarrassed, "This money...isn't the color TV going to be exchanged?"

Bai Feng obviously knew that his family had the money to replace a color TV, so...

"When I make money, I'll replace the family with a big color TV."

It was fine if he didn't say this, but once he said this, Bai Bing felt that his son's condition was even more serious.

"Take it out!"

Liu Qinghui had no choice but to dig through the drawer and took out a passbook.

Unexpectedly, Bai Bing went all out.

"Dad will give you another 500!"

I saw him rummaging through every nook and cranny of his home, and as if by magic, he pulled out several big tickets.

Without saying a word, Bai Feng swept away all the bankbooks and money, then went back to the house and closed the door.

Outside this door...

"Wow! Old Bai! You're engaged in a small treasury!"

"No, I'm saving for a bigger TV."

"Oh, to see Su Daji?"

"No, really not... Su Daji is not as good-looking as my wife."

"Still cheating here!"

"Daughter-in-law, it's okay if I was wrong..."

　When I was writing this paragraph, I always had many pictures in my mind. After I finished writing, I realized that I was in tears.
