I thought it was Xiaoping calling. After all, her father's name was Zhu Bin. In 1982, she went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to change her surname back to "Zhu". He Xiaoping was just called He Xiaoping because she was used to it after more than ten years of calling him.
However, it turned out that this comrade named Zhu was not He Xiaoping, but Zhu Ke. His mood was complicated for a while, and he thought something had happened to Lin Yue.
Zhu Ke called her for a simple purpose.
Counting the days, it has been almost ten years since the art troupe was disbanded. He wanted to hold a comradeship meeting and invite her to Shanghai to participate.
She neither agreed nor refused, saying she would seriously consider it.
Zhu Ke proposed a comradeship meeting...who would attend? Will Lin Yue and Hao Shuwen go?
Would it be embarrassing if she went? If she doesn't go, will we see each other again in the future?
Zhu Ke did not say whether Lin Yue and Liu Feng would go, but it was certain that Lin Dingding, who was married overseas, would go.
…
Three and a half months later.
The turn of spring and summer in Shanghai is a time of heavy rain.
Xiao Suizi came out of the train station and got into a taxi. After giving her hotel address, she stared blankly at the rain-covered window.
After struggling for three months, she still came.
I don't know who I will see, whether there is that person I miss so much, and what happened to him and He Xiaoping...
Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the Jincang Mandarin Hotel. Xiao Suizi glanced at the screen-like tall building in front of her and thought that Zhu Ke and Little Ballet would be fine. It seemed that she had made a lot of money in the past few years.
When we got off the car, a waiter helped us with our luggage.
"I'm here to attend the comrades-in-arms meeting organized by Mr. Zhu Ke." She explained her purpose to the receptionist.
"Oh, please come this way."
The waiter led Xiao Suizi into the elevator and pressed the button for the 12th floor.
After a while, the car door opened, and the waiter took her to the door of the innermost private room and made a gesture to invite her in.
Xiao Suizi nodded and stepped into the house.
There was silence at first, and then there was a warm greeting.
Zhu Ke, who was wearing a black suit, stood up and walked to the door: "Comrades, the great writer of our art troupe has arrived. Come on, everyone applauds and welcomes him."
Bang bang bang bang~
There was a round of applause in the room.
Xiao Suizi looked inside. Little Ballet, Tan Zao, Dolma, Sun Yanyan, Hu Mei, Qi Baota, Wu Xiaohao...
There are quite a few people coming to participate in the comrades-in-arms association. A rough calculation makes it seventeen or eight. You must know that the art troupe only had more than 100 people before. At this level, at least 20% can come today. After the art troupe was disbanded, those who returned to their hometowns Returning to hometown, getting transferred to different posts, getting married, living in different places, it’s good to have more than 20 people together.
"Come on, Suizi, sit inside."
Zhu Ke enthusiastically moved her to the small ballet.
"You've been riding the train for several hours, are you tired? Come on, drink some water first."
Hu Mei picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of green tea. Qi Baota's face was reflected in the cup, a little dazed and distorted.
After ten years of separation, I see my former comrades again. How should I put it? There is a bit of alienation in the closeness, and a bit of confusion in the alienation. At the end of the confusion, there is emotion, and there is also a little bit of emotion about the passage of time and the unwillingness to let go of day and night. .
"Hey, Suizi, I heard that you have published a new book called "Youth". How are the sales?" Sun Yanyan asked with concern.
Xiao Suizi nodded: "Well, it's okay."
"It's more than okay." Xiao Baere said: "When Zhu Ke called Suizi before, she was holding a book signing in Hainan."
Zhu Ke said: "I even asked Xiaolei to go to the bookstore and buy a copy."
His wife’s real name is Chang Honglei. Because she studied ballet when she was a child, people in the art troupe nicknamed her Little Ballet.
"Isn't that right?" Wu Xiaohao patted the table and said, "I remember Sui Zi's father is a writer, so this can be regarded as inheriting his father's legacy."
"This is called a skill that is better than a skill that is better than a skill."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's better to be better than an expert. Back in the art troupe, Suizi was a well-known blackboard expert. In the blink of an eye, she is now a great writer. Time flies so fast."
"Who says it isn't?"
Xiao Suizi kept smiling while listening to these people's praise. In fact, she really wanted to ask them, have you read my new book?
Zhu Ke said that he asked Little Ballet to go to the bookstore and buy a copy. Now it seems that he has probably not read it, otherwise he would not have mentioned a word of the content in the book. After all, the characters who appear in the book can all find their prototypes among the people in the art troupe.
She was more willing to listen to them talk about the content and talk about the past, instead of lamenting how famous she was and how much royalties she got from a book.
"Zhu Ke, didn't you say Lin Dingding would come?"
"Yes, she called me yesterday, but this morning she said she had something urgent at hand and would be a little late."
"Oh." Xiao Suizi nodded, holding the edge of the chair with his hand under his body: "Who else will come today? Hao Shuwen...how is it? Do you know?"
Zhu Ke looked at Dolma: "Dolma, you are from Beijing. How is the person you contacted?"
"I haven't seen Hao Shuwen. Her nanny said that Hao Shuwen's mother has taken her back to Chengdu and she should live there for a while. However, I left the invitation letter for her. As for whether she will come... I no longer know."
Hao Shuwen was mentally ill, and Zhu Ke had a bad relationship with Lin Yue. Moreover, when he came back after performing meritorious service, his speech at the art troupe made everyone feel uncomfortable and embarrassed, so from the bottom of their hearts, everyone did not want Lin Yue to attend this party.
"I really hope she can come to Shanghai, because if I miss this time, no one knows when the next meeting will be."
Yes, the average person doesn’t want to see Hao Shuwen and Lin Yue, but Zhu Ke and Little Ballet really hope they can come, because they can show off their achievements. The bosses of the top ten performing arts companies in the industry, and the people from the art troupe How many of them are worth more than them? Zhuoma Gang also said that being a teacher at the Beijing Dance Academy doesn't make much money, and she plans to come to Shanghai to hang out with them.
Now that people who were mediocre before have become successful, of course they have to show off their superiority in front of those comrades, partners, and classmates who have outstanding performance. Otherwise, what's the point of making so much money? In today's era, if wealth does not return to its hometown and travels at night in brocade clothes, that is not called low-key, that is called stupidity.
Dong Dong Dong~
At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted the conversation of everyone in the room. As the waiter opened the door, a woman dressed in a fashionable style walked in from the outside.
The white dress, square heels with metal buckles, a Chanel bag slung on her shoulder, and the gold watch on her wrist were really eye-catching, but what was even more eye-catching... was her round face. No one recognized her for a while. until Xiao Suizi asked tentatively: "Is it Lin Dingding?"
"You are Suiko!"
Lin Dingding recognized her at a glance, because her appearance remained basically the same compared to before.
"Ahem...Ding Ding, welcome back to China."
Although he was surprised that Lin Dingding looked like this, as the founder of the comrades-in-arms association, Zhu Ke warmly welcomed her to sit next to Xiao Suizi. After all, they were roommates in the same dormitory.
Everyone else stood up and greeted her with a smile.
The little ballerina felt that she was proud and proud. You must know that Lin Dingding, Hao Shuwen, Xiao Suizi, and Zhuoma are the top beauties in the art troupe. What about now? Lin Dingding is so fat, Hao Shuwen is mentally ill, and Dolma looks particularly old because of her unfortunate marriage. She is the only one who has taken good care of herself in the past few years. Everyone who sees her says that she has thin skin, tender flesh, and a slim figure, unlike a third-year-old. Teenagers.
Of course, Xiao Suizi is good, but that is intellectual beauty, which is completely different from her sexy fashion.
"Oh, it's been ten years since we parted ways with the art troupe. Ding Ding, your husband must be very good to you."
"That's it." Lin Dingding shook the diamond ring on her hand: "Did you see it? This is his tenth wedding anniversary gift to me. I just bought it today."
"Wow, a diamond ring."
"So lovely."
"I really envy you for marrying such a good husband."
"..."
Everyone was talking about it.
Dong Dong Dong~
At this moment, there was another knock on the door. The waiter pushed the door open, and after a few breaths, a person's face came into view.
