Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 366 367 [There is a task for you]

  Winning the Mao Dun Literature Award was not just a certificate, trophy and bonus for Xiang Nan.

   More importantly, he was affirmed by the mainstream of the mainland literary world, and thus won a gold medal for avoiding death.

  In the future, whoever dares to say that he is a three-vulgar literati or a degenerate literati can take out this gold medal.

   "Come on, let's compete. I have the Mao Dun Literature Award, what do you have?" One sentence can choke the other party to death.

  …

  Winning the Mao Dun Literature Award, the top award in the mainland literary world, Xiang Nan also made a remarkable achievement.

   Therefore, at the end of the year, Xiang Nan won the second-class personal merit again, in recognition of his outstanding contributions in literary and artistic creation.

   And he was also promoted from the regimental level to the deputy division level. The monthly salary has risen from 141 yuan to 177 yuan. Other benefits, allowances, and treatment have also been improved accordingly.

  However, Xiang Nan is now a civil servant. Although his position has been promoted, the power in his hand has not changed. Compared with being the head of the art troupe before, the power is actually much weaker.

  He can direct the moving people now, and he is the only one.

  Originally, as a cadre at the deputy division level, he also had a nanny allowance. Based on his income and household situation, it is enough to hire a nanny.

   But Xiaoping was fed up with the nanny's anger, so that she had a psychological shadow, and she firmly disagreed with hiring a nanny, so now the two of them do the eating, washing, and cleaning by themselves.

  …

   Enter to 1983.

  In January, when Xiang Nan was working on creation at home, a phone call from the Zongzheng called him back to the regiment.

   "Old Deng, what can you do with me?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"Xiao Liu, it's like this. There is a task in the regiment that I want to entrust to you." Deng Wenwu hurriedly comforted, "CCTV is planning to hold a cultural evening during the Spring Festival, and we need some programs. Of course our general affairs cannot lag behind, so I hope you can Put some effort into it."

   "Yes, Comrade Liu Feng, we all know that you are a famous talent, you must help." Another comrade who looked a little strange also smiled at Xiang Nan.

  Xiang Nan was taken aback, and blurted out, "CCTV is going to hold a Spring Festival Gala?!"

   "Spring Festival Gala?! That's a good name. It's much better than the name 'Central TV Workers' Spring Festival Gala'." The strange comrade smiled and nodded.

   "..." Xiang Nan blinked his eyes, dare I get the name "Spring Festival Gala"? !

   "How is Liu Feng, do you have the confidence to complete the task?" Deng Wenwu asked.

   "It is my duty." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Since the task is entrusted to me, I will definitely complete it."

   "That's good, I know I didn't find the wrong person." Deng Wenwu clapped his hands and laughed.

  …

  Xiang Nan completed the work soon after returning home.

  A week later, he returned to Zongzheng and released the three songs he had written.

  The first song "Unforgettable Tonight", this song has been played on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala almost every year since the second Spring Festival Gala. It can be said that it is the strongest nail household in the Spring Festival Gala.

  The second song "Love My China". "Fifty-six constellations, fifty-six flowers, brothers and sisters of fifty-six ethnic groups are one family..." This song is perfect for singing during the Spring Festival Gala.

  The third song "Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Blessings". "There are three hundred and sixty-five sunrises in a year, and I send you three hundred and sixty-five blessings..." At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed. On this day, singing such a joyous song is also suitable for the festive and peaceful Spring Festival Gala atmosphere.

  So after watching these three songs, Deng Wenwu is very satisfied.

   "Okay, Liu Feng, you are really immortal." He nodded with a smile, "In a week, you have written such three good songs. Well, it's really good."

   "Old Deng, I am not old at all." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Okay, as long as you are satisfied."

  …

   Half a month later, Xiaoping suddenly felt nauseous.

   Went to the hospital for an examination, and the result made Xiang Nan very happy. It turned out that after his hard work, Xiaoping was finally pregnant.

   Shen Bowen was also very happy when he learned of this. And immediately, as someone who has been there, told Xiaoping what to do.

  Xiaoping was quite happy at first, but she became nervous after being teased by him like this.

   After his daughter-in-law became pregnant, Xiang Nan also basically stopped all outside entertainment, and devoted himself to serving his daughter-in-law at home.

  His actions surprised Wang Yi, Ye Jing and others.

  Because with Xiang Nan's current status, wealth, and fame, there are so many little girls who are willing to be with him, and it's no problem to change two in a day. But he still loves his wife so much, is loyal and unswerving, which makes them really puzzled.

  But even though they couldn't figure it out, they still admired Xiang Nan, an infatuated man. They can't be so dedicated.

   "Brother Liu deserves to be Brother Liu. He can do what others can't, and he can't bear what others can't bear. So many beautiful girls are crying and shouting to follow him, but he can bear it. No wonder he can make great things happen."

   "I used to think that love and love are all nonsense. How can a man only love one person in his life, but Brother Liu really taught me a lesson. There are really love in this world."

  …

   In a few days, it will be New Year's Eve.

  On New Year’s Eve, Xiang Nan and Xiaoping watched the Spring Festival Gala in front of the TV.

  The Spring Festival Gala in 1983, to be honest, it was the first time for Xiang Nan to watch it, and it was more interesting than later generations.

  First of all, artists are in a relatively relaxed state, just like students attending a class party. They are all their own people on stage and off stage, so they are not restrained at all.

  Unlike later generations, the naked eye can see the nervousness of the artists, lest they make mistakes. The TAs are in a tense state, they don't laugh like they laugh, and they don't cry like they cry, which makes the audience feel awkward for them.

  Secondly, the censorship standards were not strict at that time, so the program content was relatively extensive and the scale was relatively wide, so it sounded more interesting.

  Although Xiang Nan did not participate in the whole Spring Festival Gala, he was the one who showed his face the most.

This Spring Festival Gala, not only sang his "Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Blessings", "Love My China", "Unforgettable Tonight", but also sang "Blood-stained Style", "Serving the Country with Loyalty", "In the Field of Hope" On", "In the Place where the Peach Blossoms Bloom", "The Song of Peony" and so on.

  And this Spring Festival Gala used a total of fifteen songs, and Xiang Nan participated in the creation of more than half of the songs. Such a ratio can be said to be quite amazing.

   Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway. Anyway, those who knew about it were all dumbfounded in shock.

  …

  After the Spring Festival, Xiang Nan buys vegetables and cooks every day, and stays with Xiaoping at home.

  Xiaoping is spoiled by him so much that she doesn't have to suffer at all, she doesn't have to suffer at all, and she feels happy every day as if she is in the sky.

  But she was not without worries, "Comrade Liu, what should I do if I want to give birth to a girl?" She asked worriedly.

  In September last year, the country officially made family planning a basic state policy. Both of them are cadres and party members, so they should lead by example and insist on having only one child.

   But in that case, if it's a girl, Xiang Nan will never be seen again.
