The literary era since 1979

Chapter 312 Little Happiness

The next day, the sunlight shone through the window onto Fangyan's face. Gong Xing pushed the door open and saw him blinking his sleepy eyes, getting up leisurely, and yawning.

"Why am I sleeping here?"

"How dare you say that? You were so drunk yesterday!"

"Hey, I didn't do anything stupid last night, did I?"

Fang Yan scratched his messy hair and tried his best to recall everything that happened last night.

"I didn't do much, I just slept like a pig."

Gong Xing smiled at first, then frowned: "You snore so loudly that I want to find a plug to stuff you up."

Fang Yan said awkwardly: "Isn't this because I'm tired?"

Gong Xing softened his heart all of a sudden:
"Are you feeling better now?"

"You'll feel much better after a good night's sleep."

Fang Yan said: "I'm just a little thirsty and a little hungry."

Gong Xing said in a soft Wu dialect: "Breakfast has been bought, and the stomach-warming soup has been cooked for you. Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face."

Fangyan smiled and said, "You are indeed worthy of being called Alagazipo."

Gong Xing rolled her eyes and said deliberately, "I am destined to be your housekeeper. Never mind. I accept my fate."

"Take care of it."

Fangyan put on his clothes quickly, picked up the thermos, and walked straight to the pool.

The faucet was wrapped with thick layers of cotton cloth, but it still couldn't withstand the severe cold and froze again after a while.

You can only use hot water from the thermos and start pouring it from the faucet, pouring it from the top and connecting it from the bottom, and never waste a drop of water!

Watching him brush his teeth and wash his face, Gong Xing brought out the breakfast and stomach-warming soup that had been warming in the pot from the kitchen and brought them to the main room.

After Fangyan finished washing up, he walked into the hall and saw fried dough sticks, fried dough rings, sesame cakes, and soy milk on the table.

"What kind of soup is this?"

"It's ginger and brown sugar water. I also added wolfberry and red dates. It helps sober you up and warms your stomach."

"What kind of tea is this?"

"Chenpi tea, it's especially suitable for people like you who are drunk."

"Yesterday was an exception."

Fang Yan blinked his left eye and said, "You know me. With my alcohol tolerance, it's usually other people who fall down."

"Okay, drink it quickly."

Gong Xing said that after breakfast, the two of them would go to Nanluoguxiang.

"Go! Go right now!"

Fangyan devoured the food.

Gong Xing held his cheeks with both hands, "Yanzi, there is something I want to discuss with you."

After asking in dialect, it turned out that he wanted to change the arrangement of the Spring Festival Gala.

Gong Xing said: "It is enough for me to sing Thousands of Songs. As for the other song Little Happiness, I think we should let the Galaxy Children's Group sing it. The little girl named Xia Lin sings it very well."

Fang Yan waved his hand, "That's not necessary. You are the lead singer, Xia Lin is also the lead singer, and you are all the lead singers!"

Gong Xing opened his mouth: "But..."

"Even if she is replaced, you won't be replaced, because you are the hostess of the Spring Festival Gala, and it is most appropriate for you to sing the opening song." Fang Yan couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you suddenly want to quit?"

Gong Xing twirled his fingers, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.

"You don't think "Little Happiness" is difficult to sing, do you?"

Fangyan said: "This song shouldn't be difficult." He hummed a few lines, "Nothing, a big wish, nothing to do, I have to hurry, I saw the red light at the intersection, it kept flashing, it was like a blinking little sun..."

Gong Xing said frankly: "Teacher Gu Jianfen said that your song seems to incorporate pop elements into classical music. It is different from the styles of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers such as Deng Lijun and Liu Wenzheng. It is a unique and huge breakthrough. Such a good song, please give it to me to sing..."

Fangyan was overjoyed and said, "It is because the song is so good that I want to sing it to you. If not for you, who else should I sing it to?"

Then he cast a meaningful look, "The whole song is sweet, full of the happiness of life, don't you like it?"

"Of course I do!"

Gong Xing suddenly realized the profound meaning of the song he wrote and smiled knowingly. Her smile could make people melt in sweetness.

…………

After breakfast, the two came to Nanluoguxiang.

The wind was freezing cold and the alley was empty with few people coming and going. Moreover, Gong Xing was wrapped in a scarf and wearing a woolen hat, with almost no one showing her eyes. No one could recognize that she was the new Golden Rooster Award winner.

Passing by a public telephone station, the lady on duty poked her head out and asked in surprise, "Yanzi, is this your girlfriend?"

"That's right, Second Aunt, this is my partner!"

Fang Yan put his arm around Gong Xing's shoulders and introduced her to the neighbors. "Hey, she's really your girlfriend."

The second aunt smiled and said, "When are you two going to get married? Your mother has been looking forward to having a grandson soon."

When Gong Xing heard the word "grandson", he shrank his head in shame.

Then I heard someone say in dialect: “It’s almost there, it’s almost there!”

Watching the two people's backs, the second aunt could no longer contain her excitement. She forgot about her task of manning the public telephone and couldn't wait to find her old sisters to share this exciting news: the most promising Fangyan in the alley actually had a partner!

Moreover, it has reached the stage of discussing marriage!

Once this news spreads, it may not take long for it to spread from one end of the alley to the other, setting off a sensation in the entire Nanluoguxiang.

At this time, Fangyan's home was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Gong Xing handed out the gifts he had prepared one by one. When it was Fang Yan's turn, he said, "Yanzi, this is for you."

Fang Yan was very excited: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"This is for you."

Gong Xing presented a beautifully packaged box with both hands.

Yang Xia did not open it immediately, but held her hand tightly and looked her up and down:
"I asked someone to pick a date specifically for the two of you. The 10th, 17th, and 22nd are all good days..."

"Mom, this is what we planned."

Fang Yan said that she was going to go south with Gong Xing, register their marriage in Shanghai, and then bring Gong Xing's family back to Beijing.

When the time comes, the two families will gather together at the Yanjing Hotel and invite some relatives and friends to hold a grand wedding.

"This is a good idea, but why don't we register in Shanghai?"

Yang Xia and Fang Hong looked at each other.

Fang Yan said: "She won the Best Actress Award at this year's Golden Rooster Awards, and the Shanghai Film Studio is going to reward the crew of Under the Bridge!"

"And I want to discuss with the factory leaders about future job transfers." Gong Xing glanced at him, then looked at Yang Xia, "I want to be transferred to Yanjing."

Yang Xia nodded and said, "Yes, yes, you have to be transferred to Yanjing. You and Yanzi can't be in Yanjing and Shanghai respectively in the future."

Watching them talking about marriage, Fangyan tapped the table:
"It's best to wait until the car arrives in Yanjing."

"Car? What car?"

All the girls, including Gong Xing, were puzzled.

Han Yuemin, who was in the know, raised his chin proudly and said, "Of course it's a car, the one with four wheels."

Fang Yan jumped up and screamed: "Car?!"

"Of course. It's so cold. Do you want me to pick someone up on a motorcycle?" Fangyan looked at Gong Xing jokingly.

Fang Hong asked curiously, "Where did you get the car? Did you rent a taxi?"

“Don’t rent, buy!”

Fang Yan and Han Yuemin smiled at each other and talked about the "Memorandum of Discussion on Accelerating the Development and Construction of Qionghai Island" issued in the first half of the year.

At first glance, this article seems "ordinary". To put it simply, it means that after the special permission, foreign exchange can be used to directly import industrial and agricultural means of production, as well as consumer goods that are in short supply in the domestic market. However, it also stipulates that imported materials are not allowed to be resold outside the island.

One of them is that cars can be imported into the island, but they cannot leave the island.

However, there are many capable people in Yuedong and Minjian who found a loophole in no time, which means that by paying a fine of several thousand yuan, they can legally leave the island.

"I had already discussed it with the people there when I went on a business trip to eastern Guangdong."

Han Yuemin held up four fingers and said, "Two vans are used for business, one is a seventh-generation Crown and the other is a Citroen CX4."

As he spoke, he nudged Fangyan with his elbow and said, "Yanzi, how about letting that Crown be your wedding car?"

"That's too ostentatious."

Fangyan raised his hand and asked for a Citroen CX20 instead.

After all, this car has now appeared in the city, with nearly a hundred Citroen CX20s serving as taxis.

"But……"

Without waiting for Fang Hong to finish her words, Gong Xing said without hesitation: "I will be very satisfied if I can have a wedding car when I get married."

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you wish."

Yang Xia looked left and right, smiling from ear to ear.

Then they talked about the invitations. Fang Yan cleared his throat and said, "Here's my plan. Some of them will be sent by my sister and brother-in-law, some will be given to Xiaoxiang and me, and some must be sent out in advance."

Han Yuemin asked, "Yanzi, are you talking about Mike?"

"And Yoko and Yui, they spent the New Year in Japan."

When Fangyan said this, he couldn't help but think of the publication of "The Ring" in Japan.
