Literary Master 1978

When Lin Chaoyang returned home in the evening, he found that Tao's father was talking to someone. He knew the person opposite him, and he almost blurted out "Lao Deng".

After the game was over, it was almost time for dinner, so Tao's father introduced Lin Chaoyang to the old man.

"Brother Guangqian, this is Yushu's husband, his name is Lin Chaoyang, and he works in the library."

"Hello, Professor Zhu!" Lin Chaoyang called respectfully.

Zhu Guangqian smiled, with a pile of wrinkles on his face, like an old fox.

"I ran into him when I went to the library that day. It's really fate. Calling him professor is too formal, just call him uncle."

"Hello, Uncle Zhu!" Lin Chaoyang called again.

The old man nodded with satisfaction, "He is plain-looking, and he is indeed not a good match for Yushu."

Lao Deng, you are so poisonous, why are you nodding when you say "plain-looking"?

"But he has a good vision. He can marry Yushu, a good material for studying aesthetics!"

This sounds like a human saying!

But he thought about it and felt that it was not right. Lao Deng was giving a sweet date after hitting a stick. He should not be fooled.

Lin Chaoyang called Lao Deng in his heart, but his face was still well-behaved.

Who made this gentleman in front of him a pioneer?

The founder of Chinese aesthetic education!

This title alone can kill more than 99% of Chinese cultural people in seconds.

This time, Lin Chaoyang finally knew why the old man went to the library to entertain himself that day. It turned out that he was a close friend of Tao's father.

Because of Zhu Guangqian's arrival, the Tao family's dinner today was particularly sumptuous. Before the meal, Tao Yumo stared at the sumptuous dishes with green eyes.

"Drink some, drink some."

Zhu Guangqian urged Tao's father as soon as he sat down, but Tao's father said: "I promised your family before you came."

"They are not here."

"Do you think they can't smell it after drinking?" Tao's father said again.

"Make a pot of tea before leaving. I don't drink much."

It seems that the old man is already a habitual offender, and his methods of committing crimes are very skillful.

Tao's father couldn't persuade him, so he brought two small wine cups, one cup weighing three coins, "Three cups!"

"Yushu, you have to keep a close eye on your father in the next few years, and don't let him drink secretly."

Zhu Guangqian confided his dissatisfaction with Tao's father to Tao Yushu, and Tao Yushu smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu, my father's addiction to alcohol is not as big as yours!"

"This girl is really not as cute as she was when she was a child."

After dinner, Zhu Guangqian really drank a pot of tea. Before leaving, he covered his mouth with his hands and smelled it, and made sure that there was no smell of alcohol before leaving.

Lin Chaoyang thought of the previous "braised pork" incident, and wondered if Tao Yushu and her sisters had learned it from him since childhood.

The old saying is true, those who are close to "red" will be red.

Zhu Guangqian's family lives in Yannan Garden, which is a distance from Langrun Garden. Tao's father asked his elder brother-in-law to send him home.

When he returned to the house at night, Lin Chaoyang gave Tao Yushu the movie tickets he bought from Liu Zhenyun.

"Where did you get it from?" Tao Yushu asked.

Lin Chaoyang then told Liu Zhenyun and other Chinese students about their work-study programs. "These are all internal movies. My parents should be interested."

"Are you starting to flatter now?"

"My elder brother-in-law gave me the inspiration. What is flattery? This is called enriching spare time and strengthening spiritual civilization. Your awareness still needs to be improved."

"Humph!" Tao Yushu wrinkled his nose at him and happily accepted the movie tickets.

Inviting family members to watch movies seems a bit too idealistic if it is placed in the future.

However, the entertainment activities of ordinary people these days are indeed too scarce, and watching movies is almost the most popular form of entertainment.

In the coming 1979, the Chinese film industry has created a world record of 29.3 billion moviegoers.

This is not only a record that has never been made before or since, but also the most significant one in the history of world cinema.

Based on the population of 975 million in China in 1979, every Chinese watched 30 movies on average that year, which is the peak moment of the Chinese film market in the true sense.

Lin Chaoyang got a few movie tickets for his family, which really was a good entertainment activity for everyone.

After Tao Yushu gave the movie tickets to his family, Lin Chaoyang could clearly feel that the atmosphere at home had become cheerful.

Especially his sister-in-law Tao Yumo, a 17 or 18-year-old girl who loved to play, watching movies made her so happy that she secretly found Tao Yushu and asked if she could get another ticket. She wanted to invite her classmates to watch it together.

Tao Yushu's first reaction was: "Male or female?"

"Sister~ what are you talking about?" Tao Yumo's face was full of shyness, "Of course it's a female classmate."

"Why are you feeling guilty? I'm just asking."

"Who is feeling guilty?"

Tao Yumo begged for a long time and got two movie tickets from her sister.

After she left, Lin Chaoyang said proudly: "Now this house is full of friends."

Tao Yushu said sarcastically: "My mother is worth ten."

"Your mother's fighting power is strong, but she has no comrades-in-arms, and she can't stand alone. Make more friends and fewer enemies, this is the secret of victory."

"Nonsense! Don't go out and talk nonsense with your mouth."

Two days later, it was almost the New Year's Eve.

Lin Chaoyang received a package sent by his parents from his hometown in Northeast China. It was full of mountain products, at least ten kilograms, and they were all dried, enough for the whole Tao family to eat for half a year. There was also a letter with the package.

The old couple and Tao Yushu thought alike, and said in the letter that Tao Yushu had only come back in mid-August, so the interval was short and he didn't need to go back for the New Year, so that the young couple could save some travel expenses.

These mountain products sent by mail were for the in-laws. It was the New Year, so they would add some dishes to the family. If you like to eat something, just write a letter. There is nothing else in the Northeast, but there are a lot of mountain products.

That night, Tao Yushu showed a large bag of mountain products to the Tao family.

Now everyone's living conditions and material level are far less abundant than in later generations, even in Yanjing. A large bag of mountain products from the mountains and forests of the Northeast was spread on the table, which attracted the attention of the Tao family.

"This bag should be worth at least 60 or 70 yuan, right?" said the eldest brother-in-law.

Northeast mountain products may sound rustic, but they are really not cheap, especially in this era without artificial breeding.

And because they are all air-dried and sun-dried, the actual amount is much more than what everyone sees.

Tao Yucheng and Tao Yumo, brother and sister, looked at the mountain products with green eyes. This big bag of mountain products not only contained black fungus, hericium erinaceus, hazel mushrooms, but also two dried pheasants.

How delicious it would be if it was cooked into a dish!

Tao Yushu conveyed the instructions of the two elders of the Lin family in the letter to Tao's father, with a look of pride.

"How can we feel embarrassed to let the father-in-law and mother-in-law spend money." Tao's father said to Lin Chaoyang.

"Dad, we are all family, you are too polite."

Whether it was Tao's father, Lin Chaoyang, or the Tao family, they all understood that Lin Erchun and his wife sent these things not only as a gift to their in-laws, but also to express their gratitude to the Tao family for taking care of and tolerating their son.

It was too deliberate to send things at ordinary times, but now that the New Year was coming, this gift seemed thoughtful and considerate.

"Thank your parents for our family when you reply." Father Tao looked thoughtful and said, "Since you are not going back to your hometown this year, then stay home for the New Year. You two have been married for almost a year, but you haven't held a wedding, and the two families haven't even met. This is not acceptable. Let's find a time next year and go to the Northeast."

When these words came out, Lin Chaoyang was slightly surprised, Tao Yushu was overjoyed, but Mother Tao, who had been silent, immediately turned pale.

But no matter how unwilling she was, Father Tao was the boss of the family after all, and she would not tear her face on the spot to oppose.

Lin Chaoyang secretly glanced at Mother Tao's reaction. Don't be afraid of offending people in the workplace. The key is to follow the right person.

No matter how much his mother-in-law disliked him, didn't he still have to go to the Northeast?
