"Uncle Lou, I'm fine... um, my dad called me, and I told him that it's normal that I didn't win the award, but it's strange that I won the award. I watched the movie "That Mountain That Man That Dog", Teacher Teng’s performance is really good, I am convinced... Yes, I must have a calm mind. I am a newcomer, and there will be opportunities in the future... Oh, you said Director Zhang, we just met and chatted for a few words, and then we We walked the red carpet together...yes, yes, it's nothing...well, I understand, thank you Uncle Lou!"
…
"Of course I'm injured! Boss, when you come back, you have to make good arrangements. As for Lucy and Jessica from the good times, you were so cute last time, so you can help me comfort my injured heart... …”
That night and the next morning after the award ceremony, Li Tang received many comforting calls from his teachers and friends.
Fu had distant relatives in the mountain village, and Li Tang had become famous, so he would definitely have friends. Even his classmates who had not been in contact with each other before called him to express their condolences, and many people even made insinuations about his relationship with Zhang Yimou.
Li Tang booked a flight in the afternoon and originally planned to fly directly to Shanghai. However, considering that Xiaopang still lives in his house in Beijing, he can't really treat her as a tenant. He has to pay more attention to her and see if there is any chance. .
He also planned to go out for a stroll in the morning and buy some souvenirs and so on. However, he was bombarded with phone calls all morning and drained the battery of his mobile phone. He was too lazy to recharge it, so he was quiet.
After having a quick bite at noon, he asked the front desk to call a taxi and hurried back.
The flight at two o'clock in the afternoon was rarely on time. I landed at the Capital Airport in Beijing at around three o'clock. Then I caught a taxi to go home. It was almost four o'clock when I arrived at my door.
The door of the small courtyard is ajar. Just as the aunt wearing a red hoop in the alley said, the security in Paoju Hutong is surprisingly good, and 99% of them are old residents, and there are no random outsiders. If there was, it was probably just him and Fan Xiaopang.
Li Tang opened the courtyard door and walked in. The small courtyard was very quiet in the afternoon. Occasionally, he could hear a few birds chirping. Only the faint sound of "gurgling" water could be heard from the kitchen in the east wing.
He walked to the door and peeked in, oh, the kitchen countertop was in a mess, with a few plastic bags scattered around, and they seemed to be filled with vegetables. Fan Xiaopangzhen had his back to the door and was standing by the sink washing things.
Li Tang walked over lightly and took a look. There was a chicken in the sink, and the little fat man was clumsily washing it. He patted Xiaopang on the shoulder and asked, "What are you doing?"
"ah?"
The little fat man was so frightened that he threw away the chicken in his hand and almost jumped up.
When he turned around and saw Li Tang, he glared angrily: "I was scared to death. Why didn't you make any sound? You're scary, you're scared to death!"
Li Tang chuckled, pointed at the messy things in the kitchen and said, "Are you planning to start your own business? Don't you know how to cook?"
"You can't learn if you don't know how to cook!" Xiaopang rolled his eyes at him and yelled.
Then he added: "You said you would come back in the afternoon last night, so I just wanted to pick you up. It's not convenient to go out to eat, so I can only do it at home. I can't get through when I call you!"
Li Tang was shocked. He didn't know how to cook but he had to learn how to cook. Why did he still catch the wind? He didn't want to be a guinea pig, so he hurriedly said: "Aren't you just fooling around? Why are you studying? You are ruining things! Hurry up, clean up, get some processing fees from the restaurant, and let me help you process it."
Fan Xiaopang bit his lip and said unwillingly: "But I want to do it myself!"
What do you mean, wash your hands and make soup?
Li Tang hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, I can't bear it. Stop working so hard. Just take it out for processing. It will save you worry and effort."
After saying that, he turned around and left, saying, "I'll go back to the house and take a shower. You clean up the kitchen. Look at this mess."
He behaves like a landlord, but as for Fan Xiaopang, as a tenant, he should have the consciousness of a tenant.
When Li Tang returned home, he packed his luggage first, hung up the suit and gown he wore, got into the bathroom and took a comfortable hot shower, put on a pair of flannel pajamas, and walked out of the house with his slippers on.
When I walked to the east wing and took a look, Xiaopang had already cleaned up the kitchen. The ingredients and people were gone. They must have been taken to the restaurant he frequented in the alley for processing.
This is only right, he is not happy to enjoy such things as washing hands to make soup, loving dinner and so on.
Of course, if Fan Xiaopang can cook well, that would be another matter.
In fact, he is not a very materialistic person. In his previous life in the United States, he basically ate foreign fast food every day. In this life, Lao Li has taken good care of me since childhood. Even if he can't cook, he is never short of a bite to eat. Of course, he is not particular about it.
He hummed a little tune and played with the tea sets on the table. When he was decorating earlier, his father listened to the advice of his comrades and built a special tea room in the west wing, saying that it was popular among the people in the capital. In fact, this is just pretentious and not practical. The restaurant table is so big, it is more convenient.
He can't get used to the popular Tieguanyin and oolong teas. Longjing tea is the best, but he can't tell the difference between the one that costs one or two hundred yuan per catty and the one that costs several thousand per catty. They are all fragrant. , it tastes bitter and sweet in the mouth.
After a while, the little fat guy came back and said with a pout: "It will take some effort to stew the chicken in the casserole, as well as the braised fish, and stir-fry two vegetables. The boss will ask the waiter to deliver them later."
"Okay, let's drink tea!" Li Tang said leisurely.
Xiaopang sat across from him unhappily. She had never been in love, so she would subconsciously use her father as a template. Father Fan does everything at home. Occasionally, his mother cooks a meal. Even if it tastes terrible, Father Fan will enjoy it every time and praise his mother like a flower.
She originally thought that Li Tang would be like her father, but it turned out that this damn man was not romantic at all.
Li Tang poured her a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Okay, I accept your suggestion. Don't you think this is a good idea? Drink tea and chat, and ready-made meals will be delivered to you in a while. You don't have to do it yourself. Let’s get started, don’t worry about the process, just focus on the results.”
Xiaopang didn't say anything, took a sip of tea, looked at Li Tang and said, "You didn't win the prize this time, are you really not unhappy?"
"Really, I am the most honest person. I am happy when I am happy, and I am not happy when I am not happy. I will not hide it. I told you last night that it is normal not to win the award. I really don't have any teacher Teng to play. It's good, and "Shanghai Chronicles" is not comparable to "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog," it's far behind. In terms of film quality, it not only doesn't add points but also detracts from them. So I still want to be open."
Seeing that Xiaopang was silent, Li Tang asked again: "Since you came out this time, haven't your parents been looking for you?"
"Why don't you look for me? My parents almost came to the capital to catch me and take me back."
"Then why don't you come?"
"I'm resolute. I said if they come to arrest me, I have to run away from home. It's best to give me some time to calm down and think about it."
"Hey, are you thinking about it seriously? This is your fault! Your parents are free to have children. Besides, you are already eighteen and an adult. According to the law, you are a person with full civil conduct. Your parents have fulfilled their obligation to raise you. At this time, you should be grateful and repay your parents for their kindness in raising you. Look at what you have done. Your mother is pregnant and you are not happy to run away from home. You are forcing you Did the mother abort the child or something? Why is your face so big! Let me tell you, once this happens, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
Li Tang was originally unwilling to say these words. After all, this was a family matter. But on the one hand, he was just rushing to say this; on the other hand, he also had his own selfish motives. If Xiaopang really stayed at his place, it would be inconvenient after all. What if his ex-girlfriend came? There is still a long time, what if the news spreads all over the city?
These are all problems. After finally reviving his life, even if Fan Xiaopang looks like a fairy, he doesn't want to be tied down so early. There are so many beautiful girls in the world, such as Yuanyuan.
Li Tang felt a little proud when he saw Xiaopang lowering his head and saying nothing. Only true friends will give you a slap in the head when you are extreme and crazy. If a little girl is too willful, she needs to be beaten hard.
Unexpectedly, Fan Xiaopang suddenly raised his head, looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Teacher Li, don't you think it's inconvenient for me to live here and want to drive me away?"
"Well……"
His own thoughts were seen through, and Li Tang was a little wiser. Fortunately, he was an actor and used strong restraint to overcome the turmoil in his heart. He also said with an unhappy face: "You are so thoughtful, who do you think I am? I treat you as a friend, so I don't have to say anything to you." , if you don’t want to listen, forget it.”
"Mr. Li, I thank you for being so kind. I will consider my own affairs myself. If you think it is inconvenient for me to live here, just ask. You just said that you are the most honest person and never hide anything. Tuck it in. So now, please don’t beat around the bush. You have to go through the boss’s circle for something that is clearly stated in one sentence, and you still have to do it under the banner of doing good for me. Aren’t you tired?”
Oh, this girl is so transparent, she even changed her address to you, showing a strong sense of ridicule.
Li Tang was really impressed by Xiaopang. Of course he would not admit that the other party had seen through his thoughts. He looked at the other party with interest and asked, "Why do you think I think so?"
"Teacher Li, please stop pretending. Don't think that others can't tell if your acting skills are good. Li Binbin is your ex-girlfriend, right? She hasn't gotten over it yet? She's so pretending! I'm just too lazy to expose her." Fatty looked sarcastic.
"Hey, what happened to my ex-girlfriend? It has been more than two years since I broke up with her. Besides, she and I were college classmates for four years. Even if we break up, we are still classmates." Li Tang said forcefully.
Then he decisively waved his hand to interrupt the topic and said: "Anyway, I'm going back to Shanghai in two days. This courtyard is empty, so you can't help but live in it."
