Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 94 094 Are you in love?
  The next morning, Fang Minghua went to the train station to pick up Zhu Lin as scheduled, and Song Tangtang also followed.

This time, the girl did not wear a military uniform but a red dress, and borrowed Zhao Hongjun's Dahongqi car.

The two of them were waiting at the exit. Not long after, they saw Zhu Lin carrying a travel bag and following the passengers out of the exit.

When Song Tangtang met Zhu Lin for the first time, she was wearing a white shirt and a half red skirt.

She was secretly surprised.

I didn’t expect that the sick and ugly woman in the novel would be so beautiful in real life!
  Unparalleled elegance and incomparable beauty.

Zhu Lin also looked at Song Tangtang in surprise, wearing a red skirt and flowing long hair.

Damn
  There is such a beautiful girl beside Xiao Fang.

Slim and graceful.

There is more heroic spirit between her eyebrows than the average girl.

The relationship between the two seems unusual?
  Fang Minghua felt happy when he saw it.

Why are they all wearing red skirts?
  oops
  This seems to be popular recently, it’s quite pleasing to the eye.

This reminded him of a very popular film in the 1980s, "Red Dresses Are Popular on the Street," but it seemed to be released for another year or two.

After Fang Minghua introduced the two to each other, he took her to the parking lot and got into the black car.

"Xiao Fang, Miss Tangtang, I'm really troubling you two."

Zhu Lin, who was sitting in the back row, said this with praise in his heart.

This girl must have an unusual family background.

Song Tangtang was driving, and Fang Minghua was sitting in the passenger seat. Hearing what Zhu Lin said, he turned around and replied with a smile: "Why are you so polite? Didn't you say that when we were on the set? But I can only help here. Can you join Director Xie?" My discernment depends on your performance, Sister Zhu Lin."

"I think Sister Zhu Lin will be fine." Song Tangtang, who was driving, took over the conversation and followed Fang Minghua in calling her Sister Zhu Lin.

"Sister Zhu Lin's image and temperament are suitable for the role of Sui Zi. Moreover, she has also been in an art troupe and knows how to perform. Director Xie can approve it."

"Ha, Tangtang, when you say that, I'm not as nervous as I was just now."

In fact, Song Tangtang was right.

Song Tangtang drove Zhu Lin directly to the guest house where Xie Jin was staying. Xie Jin took a look and found that, as Fang Minghua said, his appearance and temperament were definitely outstanding among mainland actresses.

She was asked to perform a few more scenes, and she immediately agreed: the role of Suiko is definitely for you.

"Comrade Zhu Lin, we will contact your factory and second you to join the crew. As for when the filming will take place? It depends on when Xiao Fang's script is finished. It will be in two months at the earliest, right? You go back and wait for my notification."

That's it.

Fang Minghua invited Zhu Lin to spend two days in Xijing.

"Tangtang and I have nothing to do now. We'll accompany you to visit the Terracotta Warriors and the Bell Tower. It's convenient to have a car anyway."

But Zhu Lin declined.

"I have to rush back to Chengdu today, and I didn't even ask for leave before I left."

In this case, Fang Minghua didn't hold him back and treated her to a bowl of mutton steamed buns, and then drove him to the train station with Song Tangtang.

"Minghua, what are you doing now?" Song Tangtang asked.

"Go back and write the script."

"Ok".

The two got in the car and drove towards the city.

During this period of time, Song Tangtang was basically here with Fang Minghua.

Sometimes the two of them discussed the plot. When Fang Minghua started writing, Song Tangtang sat quietly aside and read the book carefully.

When the weather was cool in the morning, the two of them went out for a ride.

Song Tangtang likes to sit in this 28-meter big bar the most, bathing in the morning breeze, humming songs, and walking through the streets and alleys of the ancient city.

This morning, Song Tangtang changed into a blue suspender skirt, a short-sleeved white shirt, and sandals and was about to go out when her mother Zhou Yunjuan stopped her.

Zhou Yunjuan is a professor at the Institute of Political Science and is currently at home on vacation. She feels strange to see her daughter going out early again.

What's up with this lately?
  Usually when my daughter comes home from visiting relatives, except for occasionally visiting her cousin or going to her brother's house to play, she sometimes goes shopping with her childhood friends. She basically stays at home and reads.

When I came back this time, I went out early and came back late, and I felt like a completely different person.

"Tangtang, why are you going?" Zhou Yunjuan couldn't help but ask. Song Tangtang didn't hide anything from his mother: "I have a friend who is writing a script about a cultural troupe, so I helped out and provided some materials about the military camp."

"Really?" Zhou Yunjuan was a little suspicious.

His eyes swept over his daughter's face.

"Mom, how could I lie to you?" Song Tangtang took her mother's arm and started acting coquettishly.

"Who is that friend of yours? What's his name?"

"His name is Fang Minghua. He adapted his own novel "Youth" and was spotted by director Xie Jin of Shanghai Film Studio and planned to make it into a movie."

"Fang Minghua? Is that the writer who wrote "The Sun Also Rises"?"

"Yes, that's him. He is a good friend with the Red Army brother. We went to Gansu Province to join the team together, so I know him."

"Are you guys in love?" Zhou Yunjuan suddenly asked.

"No."

"Really?"

"Well, I went to their magazine. If you don't believe me, you can ask."

Her daughter's eyes were calm and not evasive, which made Zhou Yunjuan feel relieved.

It's not that I am against dating young men, it's just that the current social atmosphere is not very good, and you can't make friends casually and lead your daughter to bad things.

"Okay, put on some cream when you go out, it's sunny outside today."

"I've already wiped it off."

what?
  When I came back last time, I asked you to go out and apply some cream to avoid getting tanned, but you said that the sun in southern Xinjiang is much stronger than that in Xijing, and you didn't care at all. What happened today?
  Seeing her daughter humming a song and going out happily, Zhou Yunjuan thought about waiting for Lao Song to come back in the evening and talk to him about this matter.

Also, my daughter has been in southern Xinjiang for almost three years. Can she be transferred back?
  Not only Song Tangtang's mother was suspicious, but Fang Minghua's mother was also suspicious.

This afternoon, Fang Minghua sent Song Tangtang to the bus stop, watched her get on the bus, and then rode his bicycle home for dinner.

It's cooking time now, and the corridor is bustling. Zhang Fenglan is boiling water and preparing for cooking. When she sees him coming back, she immediately lets him in and closes the door.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Fang Minghua felt very strange.

"Son, let me ask you, have you been dating a girl recently?"

"How did you know?"

"Humph, your sister-in-law Zhang downstairs told me! Doesn't her husband also work at the magazine? I see you often coming in and out with a girl, very affectionate!"

"Mom, don't talk nonsense, we are not very affectionate!" Fang Minghua quickly defended.

"Okay, let me ask you, what is that girl's name and how old is she? What does she belong to? Which unit does she work in? What do her parents do? How many brothers and sisters are there in the family?!"

Oh my God
  Is this to investigate the eighth generation of someone’s ancestors?

Fang Minghua didn't hide anything and simply explained Song Tangtang's situation.

"She's a girl from the art troupe? Her father is an officer in the army? Her mother is a university professor?!" Zhang Fenglan was surprised after hearing this.

"Son, this girl has a very noble status, and we can't reach her."

"Mom, what's the point of not being too high-spirited?" Fang Minghua said with a smile; "Besides, I didn't say we were in love, we were just discussing literary matters."

"It's okay if we're not in love. I still think your sister's classmate Dongmei is good. I've met that girl and she's not bad looking. I also know her parents." Zhang Fenglan started nagging again.

Oh my god
  It’s that winter plum again!

Then I might as well just talk about falling in love with Song Tangtang.

Forget it, lest mom make a fuss again.

Finally, Zhao Hongjun also came to intervene.

Before leaving yesterday afternoon, Song Tangtang said that his cousin had come back from Yanjing and wanted to visit her to play, so he would not come over tomorrow.

Song Tangtang didn't come over, but Zhao Hongjun came over. He sat down on a chair as soon as he entered the door, with a popsicle in his mouth.

"Red Army, are you free today? Didn't you say that you were as busy as a dog when you became the section chief?" Fang Minghua raised his head and put down his pen and looked at him.

"Let me ask you, what did you do to my sister?!"
