"Hey, ha!"
"Hey, ha!"
Li Tang shook the bamboo pole in his hand, thrust forward, and hit the red heart.
"Oh-oh, little boss, stick together!"
The aunties watching on the side clapped their hands and applauded.
The pewter pole was too long to carry around, so I had to leave it at home in the capital. It's hard to find white wax poles here, but there is no shortage of bamboo poles. They can be used after being polished carefully.
After more than half a month of practice, he was now not only able to shoot two guns at once, but the chance of hitting the bull's-eye had also increased from 12/10 at the beginning to 56/10.
It's just that when Li Tang practices in his yard, he is often surrounded by aunties who have nothing to do. Mainly because of Li Tang's star aura, they felt that practicing Kung Fu as a little boss was both fun and down-to-earth.
Xiao Jian's invincible martial arts in "Returning the Pearl II", including "Little Li's Flying Knife" which has been aired two months ago, many people really think that Li Tang is good at kung fu.
"Little boss, what will happen to Xiao Jian and Qing Gege in the end? Will there be any results?"
"I don't know, the third part isn't out yet."
"Are you still playing Xiao Jian in the third part?"
"I still do not know yet."
"Little boss, what happened between you and Jin Suo is true. You have a beautiful little girl, so hurry up!"
"That's right, that's right, the boss is looking forward to having his grandson now. Little boss, hurry up!"
A group of aunties had nothing to do, so when Li Tang stopped to rest, they all gathered around to gossip.
At this time, Lao Li appeared on the balcony on the third floor and shouted to the people downstairs: "We have eaten enough and have nothing to do. Hurry up and pack up and get ready to open the door."
The aunts glanced upstairs and whispered, scolding Lao Li, the black-hearted boss, for being like a beast.
Of course, Lao Li is not a shady boss. With the decline of the supply and marketing cooperative, most of these aunts are laid-off employees from the original supply and marketing cooperative's beverage and service company. Most of these aunts are old and young, and they have heavy burdens. They are actually very grateful when Lao Li gives them a bowl of rice.
After Li Tang finished practicing the set task of two groups of stabbing two hundred shots, he went upstairs to take a shower, changed into loose clothes, and sat on the balcony drinking tea and reading a book.
Recently, he has read Mr. Jin Yong's "The Swordsman" over and over again several times. He didn't know how the final script would turn out, but as Zhang Jizhong publicly stated that he would respect the original work to the greatest extent, the script was probably very different from the original work.
But having said that, according to the description in the original work, Li Tang found that there were not many roles suitable for him. Apart from the protagonist Linghu Chong, the only one left was Lin Pingzhi.
To be honest, from a reader's perspective, the character Lin Pingzhi is very unpleasant. He is blinded by hatred, perverted, kills his junior sister, etc. But from an actor's perspective, this character goes from good to evil, endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens, and is very shaping.
Of course, Li Tang's favorite role is definitely the male lead Linghu Chong, but unfortunately he is not popular enough and it is not his turn. Currently, he can only focus on the role of Lin Pingzhi.
The biggest advantage of having the original work is that there is no need to write a biography of the character, because the character's origin, growth, and personality traits have been described in great detail in the book.
Li Tang sometimes imagined what he would do if he were in Lin Pingzhi's position, and he would most likely come to the same conclusion as Lin Pingzhi. He is not Linghu Chong. He does not have the aura of the protagonist to move forward and retreat freely. He has no way out and can only go to the dark side.
At noon, Lao Li brought several plates of side dishes, and the two of them had a drink across the table.
"Why are you leaving?"
"The day after tomorrow, I'll meet up with Sister An in the capital first, and then fly to Shenyang the day after tomorrow," Li Tang said.
This year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was held in Shenyang. It opened on October 16th and concluded with the awards on the 20th. At the opening ceremony, the Golden Rooster Award finalist certificates were also awarded, which is also an honor.
"Is there any hope of winning this award?" Lao Li asked again with concern.
Li Tang shook his head and said with a smile: "I am a newcomer, 99.9% hopeless."
Lao Li felt a little regretful, but still nodded and said: "After all, we have to take care of the old comrades first. You are still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Hey, Dad, I heard that you have been very close to Aunt Xiao recently?" Li Tang suddenly asked.
Aunt Xiao is the accountant of the supply and marketing cooperative. When she was young, she was a famous beauty in the supply and marketing cooperative. She was tall, long-legged, and had big waves. When Li Tang was in adolescence, this Aunt Xiao appeared in his dreams several times.
Later, Aunt Xiao married a small cadre, but a few years ago I heard that the small cadre fell ill and died, leaving an orphan and a widowed mother. The supply and marketing cooperative's performance has not been good in the past two years, so Aunt Xiao has taken on some accounting work, including the accounts of her own restaurant.
Li Tang met Aunt Xiao once when he went home last time, and she happened to come to the store to deliver the account books. She still has big waves. Although her face has some vicissitudes of life at the age of forty, her charm has not diminished.
Aunt Xiao is a very decent person. I have never heard any rumors about her before. But when I came back this time, I heard the aunt in the store say that my father and Aunt Xiao were not ordinary, and they had even developed a substantial relationship.
Lao Li suddenly blushed and said hurriedly: "Don't listen to those old aunties talking nonsense. They are all full of food and have nothing to do, so they only know how to eat what they eat and eat what they eat."
Li Tang was still dubious at first. It was hard to imagine that Aunt Xiao, who had always been upright, would fall in love with Lao Li, who had a bad reputation with women. But looking at his father's appearance, he guessed that he was inseparable.
Then he smiled and said: "I think Aunt Xiao is quite good. She is good-looking and not too old. Maybe she can still give birth."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Lao Li glared and reprimanded, and then said a little depressed: "I don't know what the situation is yet."
Hey, isn't it said that the relationship has already reached a substantial level? Why does it sound like dad hasn't got it yet?
Li Tang hurriedly said: "Abba, if you really like Aunt Xiao, you must hold on to Chen Guang, otherwise if you run away with someone else, it will be too late to cry in Chen Guang."
"You only live in a small home, how can you talk more and more? Don't worry about adults' affairs! What do you mean running away from other people's families? Husband Yi has been dead for many years. If you want to run away with others, you have already run away. Why don't you run away with others?" It will take many years!" Lao Li looked unconvinced.
Oh, this is no longer nine out of ten, but ten out of ten.
Li Tang immediately said seriously: "Abba, let me express my position now. I completely agree with you and Aunt Xiao. If there are any difficulties and you need me to come forward, just speak up."
"Tch, I still need you to come forward? You old man, I have been working in vain for many years!" Lao Li said disdainfully.
"Okay, okay, Dad, I wish you all your wishes come true!"
Li Tang picked up the cup and toasted his father. A widower and a widow are a perfect match!
"Oh, by the way, Aunt Xiao has a daughter, how can I?" Li Tang suddenly remembered and asked.
He had a very vague impression of Aunt Xiao's daughter. He had met her several times on the street a long time ago. She was still a little girl, and she must be a teenager now. This kind of adolescent girl is the most annoying. She often has a rebellious mentality and may ruin her father's good deeds.
Lao Li was confused and said: "This little girl is like her mother, good-looking and smart. She just graduated from junior high school this year and was admitted to the No. 1 middle school. She will definitely be a college student in the future."
No. 1 Middle School is the best high school in my hometown county. It is a county key point. Well, it should be considered a district key point. When Li Tang was in high school, it was said that the enrollment rate in No. 1 Middle School was over 50%. Now that universities have expanded enrollment, the enrollment rate is estimated to be even higher.
But he immediately remembered and said: "I remember that No. 1 Middle School has a boarding system..."
Lao Li glanced at him unexpectedly, and the father and son looked at each other and smiled.
Yes, boarding school, how great! Without a little policeman in the family, Dad will naturally have more opportunities.
September 16, 1999, was Fan Xiaopang’s eighteenth birthday. It was also the day when some areas in Beijing and Shanghai were officially changed from county to district, and the Pudong Airport was officially opened.
With the official opening of Pudong Airport, many domestic flights have moved from Hongqiao to Pudong, which has added a lot of inconvenience to Li Tang. In the past, a taxi from Wuyuan Road Apartment to Hongqiao Airport only cost more than 20 yuan, but now it costs at least 150 yuan to go to Pudong Airport. In addition to applying for the boarding pass more than an hour in advance, the flight to Beijing takes two hours. Half a day passed.
In this way, it is more convenient and cheaper than taking the train to arrive in the morning.
At around eight o'clock in the morning on October 14, Li Tang got off the bus from Beijing South Station with a yawn and glanced at Nai'an.
"Sister An, didn't you agree not to bother? It's very convenient for me to take a taxi."
Nai'an smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm free. There are many cars entering the city in the morning and few cars leaving the city. The road is smooth and very convenient."
After getting in the car, Nai'an saw him yawning one after another and said, "You didn't sleep, okay?"
"Well, when I met a buddy who snored, he made such a loud noise that I couldn't sleep all night." Li Tang said depressedly.
"Then go back and have a good rest. Yesterday I asked the hourly worker to clean up. The sheets and quilts are all new."
"Thank you, Sister An."
Now that Nai'an lives in the capital, Li Tang left her a key to his small courtyard and asked someone to clean it every half month. It's very cheap to hire hourly workers these days, only five dollars an hour.
Nai'an dropped Li Tang at the door of her house and left. I heard that she had recently met a man, and they seemed to have eyes with each other, and they were in the dating stage. Thinking about it, it's time to start a family as soon as the couple is about to go home. I hope Ms. Nai'an can go well this time.
Li Tang opened the door and entered the house. The yard was clean, and the floor and furniture in the house were almost spotless.
Seeing all this, Li Tang couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.
Unlike last time when I came home after filming, there was dust everywhere and I had to clean it for a long time. He and his ex-girlfriend had been together for three years, and he had been infected with mysophobia, or love of cleanliness, to some extent by his ex-girlfriend. But he is lazy, and what he is most impatient about is cleaning. Nowadays, hiring an hourly worker to clean up before going home really saves you worry and effort.
After spending the whole night on the train, I felt sticky, so I took a hot shower and fell asleep.
Until I was woken up by the awkward ringtone of my cell phone. I took the phone and took a look. It was Fan Xiaopang calling, and it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as he answered the call and said "Hello", he heard Xiaopang on the phone hurriedly saying: "Have you arrived in the capital?"
"Here we are, we just arrived this morning." Li Tang yawned.
"I have just arrived in the capital. Where is your home?"
Hearing Xiaopang's words, Li Tang was stunned and asked in surprise: "Why are you here suddenly and you have a job?"
He had just had a phone call with Xiaopang two days ago, chatting and bickering, as usual. She also said that if she didn't have a job, she might not come to the capital years ago, so she would take advantage of this period to take a good rest.
"..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and the background sound was very noisy, but he seemed to hear faint sobbing.
Just when I was about to ask, I heard the other end of the phone: "I ran away from home!"
