The Pentium Era - South to North

Xiaofang went upstairs and saw Xiangnan in Zhang Chen's office. As soon as Xiangnan saw her, he called "Aunt Xiaofang" and ran over to hug her.

Xiang Nan came to report to Zhang Chen on the situation of the troupe and the upcoming work. Now Feng Laogui is still the nominal leader of the troupe, but Xiang Nan is responsible for all major and minor matters, and Feng Laogui is just helping from the side. It seems that Xiang Nan was the group leader and he became his assistant.

There are two bosses in the troupe, Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen. Xiang Nan is not used to reporting work to her mother. Moreover, the two of them often argue with each other after just a few words. She would also reject everything. Xiang Nan's comment on her was "not objective."

Tan Shuzhen herself was aware of this problem. She told Zhang Chen, please, please take more care of the troupe's affairs in the future. I'm worried that if this continues, Nan Nan and I will sever the mother-daughter relationship sooner or later.

Zhang Chen said okay, I will save your life.

Xiang Nan also likes to come to Zhang Chen to report work. Every time, Zhang Chen will listen to her finish everything she wants to say, and the two of them will start discussing again, with a completely loving elder and a way of getting along with juniors. This makes Xiang Nan Nan is very useful.

She complained that my mother never let me finish what I said, so she started arguing with me for a long time. She argued until I had nothing to say, and then she said, "You continue talking." After I finished speaking, she said yes, why didn't you say it earlier? If you had said no earlier, it would have been fine.

Humph, did she ask me to speak earlier? I only said a few words before she interrupted me. Uncle, what do you think I should do?

Zhang Chen laughed loudly and said, "It's not surprising. The work relationship cannot replace the mother-daughter relationship. If Zhang Xiangbei comes to talk to me about things, it will probably be the same."

"I don't think so. I think she is just a little bit... approaching menopause." Xiang Nan said.

Zhang Chen's heart trembled. Calculated by age, Tan Shuzhen is really close. Damn, menopause is such a distant word. If Xiang Nan doesn't remind him, he doesn't know yet. If Tan Shuzhen is coming soon, then he will be there soon too. , it turns out that he is already flying towards the old man.

Naturally, Zhang Chen remembered what Li Yong said to him that night in the hospital. Li Yong said that when people around him disappeared one by one, he felt old.

Zhang Chen thought to himself, don’t worry, won’t you be old when menopause comes?

Zhang Chen sighed secretly.

The next focus of the troupe is on two things, one is to participate in the performance of the Ministry of Culture, and the other is to send plays to the countryside. Although the troupe has been restructured, the task of sending plays to the countryside must still be completed every year, and sending plays to the countryside usually It is concentrated in March and April, and the time conflicts with the Ministry of Culture’s rehearsal in March.

Feng Laogui himself proposed that he would not participate in the performance of "Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu" in Beijing, and let young people participate. The troupe was divided into two parts. Great "Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu". If this play is performed in Beijing and still wins an award, it will be invited to perform in various places in the future.

The other group of people, led by Feng Laogui, completed the task of sending the drama to the countryside.

Zhang Chen and Xiang Nan said, I agree with your father's suggestion, so you don't have to worry about anything.

Say yes to the south.

Xiang Nan hugged Xiaofang's neck, almost her whole body was hanging on Xiaofang's neck. She smiled and said to Zhang Chen:

"Uncle, will you invite us to Tuxiangyuan for dinner?"

Zhang Chen said yes. He looked at his watch and said to Xiang Nan, "We'll go together when your mother comes."

Xiang Nan was immediately discouraged, curled his lips and said, "We still have to wait for her."

"No way, Xiangnan." Zhang Chen said with a smile, "Your grandparents have returned to Yongcheng. Do you want to leave your mother alone?"

"Okay, okay, take this lonely old lady with you." Xiang Nan giggled.

Zhang Chen was curious, and he called to Xiang Nan: "Come on, Xiang Nan, come here, I have something to ask you."

Xiang Nan walked over and sat down opposite Zhang Chen. He straightened his back and sat respectfully. Xiaofang walked over and stood behind Xiang Nan.

"Uncle, start by asking." Xiang Nan said seriously.

"Tell uncle, why do you hate your mother so much now?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Unjust! It's not that I hate her, it's that she hates me." Xiang Nan shouted.

"Impossible." Zhang Chen said.

"How is it impossible? People call it critical realism. She is critical of everything I say. No matter what I say, she is always like this, like this, like this. She looks at me silently, uh, I When I saw that critical look in her eyes, I was so frightened that I couldn't control my words."

Xiang Nan imitated Tan Shuzhen's appearance, and Zhang Chen and Xiaofang couldn't help laughing.

"I won't tell you, you will see later. After eating this meal, my mother will say 'Nan Nan!' at least ten times. When she said this, it was not motherly love, but to stop me from talking. "

Zhang Chen and Xiaofang's stomachs almost hurt from laughing. Xiaofang kept patting Xiang Nan's shoulders with her hands while laughing.

"What are you talking about? You are so happy?" Tan Shuzhen walked in, and when Xiang Nan saw her, she also laughed.

Zhang Chen quickly said, "Nothing, I'm waiting for you to eat."

"Oops, I was so busy talking that I forgot to book a private room." Zhang Chen called out and quickly picked up the phone.

Opposite him, Xiang Nan had already stood up. At this time, he had his arms around Tan Shuzhen's neck, almost hanging on her body.

Zhang Chen looked at them and shook his head.

There are no private rooms at the Tuxiangyuan Hotel on Yan'an Road, but there are still private rooms in Xiasha. The four of them went to Xiasha, where they sat down and the food was served, and everyone started eating and drinking.

Zhang Chen asked Xiang Nan: "How many fans does your Weibo have now?"

"I don't know. I'm too lazy to look at it myself. That idiot Wenwen is in charge." Xiang Nan said.

"Nannan!" Tan Shuzhen shouted. Zhang Chen and Xiaofang looked at each other and laughed.

Speaking of this performance, the Plum Blossom Award competition will also be held at the same time. Zhang Chen said, Xiangnan, I hope you can win a Plum Blossom Award for the Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe. This is the first in the history of Yongcheng.

"Uncle, I will work hard to perform well, but I don't care about the award." Xiang Nan said.

"Nannan!" Tan Shuzhen scolded.

Xiang Nan stretched out four fingers and gestured towards Zhang Chen and Xiao Fang, indicating that this was the fourth "Nan Nan". Zhang Chen almost spit out his drink. He stood up and smiled:

"I can't, I can't, I can't eat this food anymore."

Xiaofang and Xiangnan were also laughing. Tan Shuzhen looked at them in confusion and didn't know what they were laughing at.

…

The four of them finished their meal at Tuxiangyuan Hotel and went home separately.

Zhang Chen and Xiaofang returned to the room and opened the door. They were surprised to find that the lights were on and Xiaoshu was sitting on the sofa. Zhang Chen asked, "Why are you here?"

Xiaoshu stood up and shouted: "No need to change shoes, no need to change shoes, sister, you two come with me."

"Where to go?" Xiaofang asked.

"Go over there. Four old people are waiting for you. They said that no matter how late they are, they will wait for you today. If you don't go, they won't sleep." Xiaoshu said.

Zhang Chen and Xiaofang had no choice but to turn around and walk downstairs. Xiaoshu followed them as if escorting them.

Zhang Chen and Xiaofang had already guessed 80% of what would happen if the four old people were looking for them now. Before that, Zhang Chen's mother and Zhang Chen, Xiaofang's mother and Xiaofang had already told them respectively. I think it was probably because these two people had not made any move yet that they became anxious, so they started to take joint action.

Xiaofang's face turned red and her heart was beating fast.

The three of them arrived at Zhang Chen's parents' house. Four old people were sitting there. When they saw them coming in, they looked serious. Zhang Chen smiled and said:

"Hey, there is such a big battle, what important things need to be discussed?"

Zhang Chen's mother rolled her eyes at him and said, "Sit down."

Zhang Chen sat down, and Zhang Chen's mother said in a gentle tone: "Xiaofang, sit down too."

The only place to sit was the sofa next to Zhang Chen. Xiaoshu was still standing and there was no seat. Xiaofang could only sit down next to Zhang Chen, deliberately staying a little away.

Zhang Chen's mother looked at Xiaofang's parents, and Xiaofang's mother said, "You tell me."

Zhang Chen’s mother nodded, looked at Zhang Chen and Xiaofang and said:

"Xiao Zhao has been gone for so many years. Chenchen, Xiaofang, I know you are very sad about Xiao Zhao's departure. We four old people are also very sad. I am afraid we will be even sadder than you.

"However, the dead have passed away, and the living must continue to live. Chenchen, after Xiao Zhao left, Xiaofang has been taking care of Beibei for so many years. She treats Beibei just like her own mother. , Chenchen, don’t be heartless.”

"I know." Zhang Chen said.

"It's good that you know." Zhang Chen's mother turned to Xiaofang, "Xiaofang, I know that my son is a little confused a lot of the time, but he is not a bad person..."

"We like him very much." Xiaofang's mother said.

Zhang Chen's mother took Xiaofang's mother's hand and continued: "Xiaofang, don't dislike him for being much older than you."

Xiaofang's face turned red, she lowered her head and said "hmm".

"If you two don't say it yourself, then we will say it for you." Zhang Chen's mother said, "We hope that you can be together. Xiaofang is Beibei's biological aunt. This time, it will be an even closer kiss. "

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "What are you doing, are you trying to order Yuanyang music?"

Zhang Chen's mother stretched out her hand and hit him, then cursed: "We still want to order the mandarin duck score, and we have decided to order it. Regardless of whether you agree or not, we four old people have agreed."

"I agree." Xiaoshu smiled, "We are all brothers-in-law anyway, so I don't need to change my words."

Zhang Chen's mother laughed and said: "It turns out that Xiaofang is in the United States and we are anxious, but that is just because we are anxious. Xiaofang is back now. If you are still so calm, we are anxious. Xiaofang is too old. She is not young, even if she is giving birth to a child now, she is already an advanced maternal age, Xiaofang, don’t worry, when your child is born, Beibei will definitely like it very much."

This jumped directly to giving birth to a child. Xiaofang was so embarrassed that she lowered her head and blushed and remained silent.

"Let me ask." Xiaoshu said.

As Xiaoshu spoke, he called Zhang Xiangbei's cell phone. Zhang Xiangbei was taking an imaging class. When he saw that it was Xiaoshu's call, he quickly picked it up and said in a low voice, "Hey, what's going on?"

"You brat, let me ask you, if Aunt Xiaofang is with your father, do you agree?"

Zhang Xiangbei was confused and said, "Don't they often be together?"

"Idiot, I mean, do you agree that Aunt Xiaofang will be your mother?"

Zhang Xiangbei was happy when he heard this: "This is the best arrangement. Quickly, give the phone to Aunt Xiaofang. I will call you mom now."

When Xiaoshu was talking, he was on speakerphone and everyone heard it. Xiaoshu handed the phone to Xiaofang. Xiaofang was embarrassed and pushed him away.

Several old people laughed. Zhang Chen's mother pointed at Zhang Chen and cursed: "Look, your son is smarter than you."

But Xiaofang's action of pushing Xiaoshu away just now made Zhang Chen think that the old people were messing around with each other, but Xiaofang herself had no such idea.

Zhang Chen looked at his mother and said, "You guys are like this, Xiaofang and I don't dare to live in the same house anymore."

Zhang Chen's words made Xiaofang feel his displeasure. After that, she remained silent and did not express any opinions.

Xiaofang went back to the room first. Zhang Chen wanted to leave, but his mother held him back. Not only his mother, but also Lao Zhang was angry and began to educate Zhang Chen.

Xiaofang opened the door and went in, returned to her room, saw Xiao Zhao's portrait and urn, and started crying:

"sister……"

I don’t know how much time passed. Xiaofang wiped her eyes, stood up and walked out. She was stunned when she opened the door. She saw Zhang Chen sitting on the sofa blankly, staring at the TV. There were snowflakes on the TV. point.

Xiaofang bit her lip and walked over, standing next to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen looked up at her.

Xiaofang said: "I agree with what my parents said just now, what about you?"
