"Brother, didn't you say that the awards at the Venice Film Festival are the Golden Lion and the Silver Lion? How can this of yours be just a certificate?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously, looking at the award certificate with a walnut frame in his hand.
"My award is from the Upstream unit, not the main competition unit. It is a level lower than the main competition unit, so I only have a certificate but no silver lion." Li Tang replied while putting the books in the cardboard box on the bookshelf. One sentence.
"oh!"
Xiao Xiao nodded matter-of-factly, and then exaggerated: "Brother, don't you know, the classmates in our school like you very much now, and I think you have won glory for us this time."
It is rare to find a celebrity in a small place. The last celebrity probably dates back to the older generation of revolutionaries and leaders decades ago.
Li Tang sorted the textbooks from school into categories, glanced at the little girl and said, "This is the reason why you sneaked back today."
Xiao Xiao said coquettishly: "What do you mean by sneaking back? I asked for leave from the teacher, just for half a day, and I have to go back to school in the afternoon. By the way, brother, our teacher also asked me to get some autographed photos of you."
"Oh, how many are there?"
"Twenty or thirty."
"Do you do wholesale?"
"No, in addition to the teacher, there are also a few classmates who are very close to me. Brother, please help me!" Xiao Xiao said with a flattering look on his face.
"There are definitely not twenty or thirty sheets now... In this case, I will ask the company to send them to my home (home) later."
"Well, thank you brother!"
When flying from Venice to Rome for transfer, Li Tang and Cheng Er flew all the way to Shanghai, while Nai'an, Zeng Jia, and Xiao Pang flew to the capital. Originally, Li Tang wanted to invite Cheng Er to his hometown in the countryside, but when he thought about the potential problems of this trading company, he decided not to do so. The way to get along with friends is to be as comfortable as possible. There is no need to make your friends uncomfortable just for the sake of so-called politeness.
His cell phone has stopped ringing almost every day in the past two days, and they are all congratulatory calls. After Zhou Xun, who was originally highly praised by the media, missed the award, he, the best actor in the Venice Film Festival's upstream section, naturally became the next target of media bragging.
Although Li Tang also loves to show off, he needs the media to help him brag. But everything is too much, and once you brag too much, you may end up like Zhou Xun before, so that her agent Li Xiaowan had to come out to smooth things over, saying that Zhou Xun was attending the Venice Film Festival mainly to learn and observe. Originally, Zhou Xun was attending the Venice Film Festival to learn and observe. I didn’t take winning the prize seriously.
Fortunately, he temporarily changed his ticket to fly to Shanghai with Cheng Er. Otherwise, according to Xiaopang, they were surrounded by reporters as soon as they arrived at the Capital Airport. Li Tang was not blocked, but it made her presence felt.
The main reason Li Tang came back this time was that the small villa in the north of the city was finally renovated. Although this villa area is located at the urban-rural fringe of the county, it is actually not far from the center of the county. It only takes ten minutes to ride a bicycle to his hotel. And based on Li Tang’s impression of the speed of urban construction in China in his previous life, it may not be long before the urban-rural fringe will become a new urban center.
The upstairs and downstairs of my small villa is almost 300 square meters. There are two large suites upstairs, one for Li Tang and one for Xiao Xiao, plus a large terrace. In addition to the living room, dining room, kitchen, and garage downstairs, there is also a suite where Lao Li and Aunt Xiao live.
In fact, they had already moved before September 1st. In order to wait for Li Tang to come back, Lao Li designated today as the official moving day. The family has a meal together.
After a while, I heard Lao Li shouting from downstairs: "Xiao Xiao, I asked your brother to come down and have dinner with us."
"Hey, here we come!" Xiao Xiao responded quickly.
"Brother, hurry up."
Under Xiao Xiao's urging, the brother and sister went downstairs one after another.
The restaurant downstairs had long been filled with a table full of delicious dishes. Aunt Xiao came out from the kitchen with a large casserole, placed it on the Eight Immortals table, opened the lid of the pot, and a dense aroma filled her face.
"Wow, it smells so good, Mommy!" Xiao Xiao deliberately imitated a Hong Kong and Taiwanese accent and shouted.
Aunt Xiao's eyes widened: "Have a good time!"
At this time, Lao Li came over with a bottle of Maotai and said with a smile: "Little girl, I am happy to be back. Okay, let's sit down and have dinner together."
Xiao Xiao took the opportunity to say: "That's right, I'm just happy that my brother is back."
With that said, he ran to Lao Li, took the wine, and said flatteringly: "Old uncle, I'll pour the wine."
"Okay, okay, good little girl!" Lao Li's face was full of joy.
Although he and Aunt Xiao have not officially received the certificates, they are now just like their own family members. They used to depend on each other, but as Li Tang became popular, they couldn't go back home more than once a year. Lao Li's current spiritual sustenance is entirely on these two women, and he truly regards Xiao Xiao as his biological daughter.
Xiao Xiao poured a glass of wine each for Lao Li, Aunt Xiao and Li Tang.
"Xiao Xiao, do you want some too?" Lao Li said with a smile.
Xiao Xiao was a little eager to give it a try, but with his mother watching her eagerly, he had no choice but to say: "I have a drink, and I have to go back to school in the afternoon."
"Okay, good girl. You have to work hard for another year, and you will be liberated when you get into college!" Lao Li comforted him with a smile.
Seeing his father smiling all the time, Li Tang, who was sitting aside, was quite moved. In the past, I always thought about what I wanted to do, and I ignored Lao Li invisibly. Now that Lao Li has found his happiness, he is happy from the bottom of his heart.
So he stood up with the wine glass and toasted to Aunt Xiao: "Auntie, I won't say anything else. Today is a good day for our family to move into a new house. I would like to toast you with this glass of wine. Thank you!"
Aunt Xiao was obviously flattered. She hurriedly picked up the cup and stood up.
Li Tang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Auntie, you are an elder. Please sit down and don't stand up."
Aunt Xiao could neither sit nor stand, so she could only raise her buttocks slightly and said repeatedly: "Tangtang, you are too polite, they are all my family, look..."
Li Tang held the cup in both hands and respectfully greeted Aunt Xiao: "Auntie, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."
"Ouch, Tangtang, please slow down. I see you are so polite, I'm sorry!"
Amid Aunt Xiao's rebuttal, Lao Li looked at his son with a face filled with relief.
Watching Li Tang drink, Aunt Xiao looked at the wine in her glass. She seemed to be reluctant, but in the end she drank without any stagnation.
"Haha, Nong Xiaofa, Auntie Nong's drinking capacity is not bad, half a pound of wine is fine at all!" Lao Li couldn't help laughing when he saw his son's surprised look on his face.
"That's right, my mother's drinking ability has improved. Brother, when Nongbula is not at home, my mother is always drinking with the old uncle!" Xiao Xiao also said with a proud face.
"Tangtang, don't listen to Yi La's nonsense. Come, eat soup!"
Of course Aunt Xiao understood the meaning of Li Tang's toast. She stood up and served Li Tang a bowl of duck soup and gave him the duck legs.
Li Tang hurriedly took it with both hands: "Thank you, Auntie."
"Tangtang, the old duck soup is Auntie Nong's specialty. Eat it and taste it." Lao Li praised it from the side.
Li Tang took a bite and found it to be really delicious. He quickly cheered and said, "Well, it's so delicious that my eyebrows are falling off!"
The old duck soup is a famous dish here. It usually uses free-range ducks that lay eggs for two or three years. The old duck soup needs to be put into the old duck soup with ham, flat ends and the local red-stem taro that has just been launched in Chenguang, and placed in a casserole. Simmer for half a day, the meat is tender and the soup is fresh, and the taste is great.
Li Tang then picked up the wine glass that Xiao Xiao had just filled and said to Xiao Xiao: "Xiao Xiao, come on, I'll give you this glass."
Xiao Xiao picked up his drink and said hurriedly: "Brother, why don't you respect the old uncle first, but you want to respect me?"
Li Tang smiled and said, "Because she is my sister. Thank you for letting me have a sister."
Xiao Xiao was embarrassed and quickly clinked Li Tang's cup: "Brother, cheers!"
Finally, Li Tang made a toast to his father. There was no toast. The father and son looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
"How long can I stay at home (this time)?" Lao Li asked as he took a sip of wine.
Li Tang looked slightly ashamed and said: "Tomorrow (tomorrow) I will go back to the city. I have to make a trip to my work and the Shanghai Film Studio. After all, my trip has been a big help. Then I have to go to the capital. The movie will be released in half a month after filming, so I want to help with the promotional activities."
Lao Li nodded and said, "You should. Don't forget to take off your clothes and take a trip to Uncle Lou's den. Remember, without Uncle Lou's help, we wouldn't be here today."
"got it!"
…
"Li Tang, it's incredible now!"
Bald Xu looked at Li Tang with genuine envy and jealousy. Seeing that his younger brother was able to shine at the Venice Film Festival, but he acted in Nao Shizi's comedy drama because of a personal relationship, I felt unbalanced when I thought about it.
Li Tang knew this guy's temperament, so he said with a smile: "Boss, ask Nong to go with us, Nong doesn't have time, what can we do?"
Li Tang had invited him before going to Venice. Unfortunately, this guy was busy filming a transcendental drama said to be about the Ming Dynasty some time ago, and he really couldn't get away.
Bald Xu hummed, "So, I personally just don't have as good a fate as Nong Ga."
Seeing the sour look on this guy's face, Li Tang had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I have a very upright attitude now. I came here specially to treat Nongcha to a meal. That's the attitude I have!"
In fact, with the popularity of "Zhu Bajie" and "Li Wei's Official", this guy is becoming more and more popular in the TV industry. It is said that there are many scripts for him. It’s just that this mountain looks higher than that mountain.
Bald Xu was actually just making a gesture. After all, there are a lot of psychological imbalances these days.
Then he nodded and said, "That's about it."
Then he said: "Oh, by the way, I want to say hello to Nong in advance. The second part of "Li Wei is an Official" has been planned. Ila promised to let me be the director (this time) and went to Chen Guang Bingbing's side. It’s up to Nong to say hello.”
To be honest, the character Yue Siying in "Li Wei Becomes an Official" is just a flower vase. Now Fan Xiaopang is rising rapidly, and now he will star in the Haiyan drama again. Bald Xu was afraid that Xiaopang wouldn't like this role by then.
Li Tang smiled and said: "I can't guarantee it. I can only go to Chenguang to help Nong."
I admit that I overestimated my self-discipline and was easily distracted by the slightest thing. If you don't set the flag, it will be easy to get slapped in the face. Please take a look at the actual performance.
