A few days after Ye Fan left for the north, Chang Guangrong arrived at Ye Fan's house and naturally came to nothing.
Yu Wentao was the only one in the family. Chang Guangrong thought of her rehearsing every day when she was young, so he gave the script to Yu Wentao and asked her for advice. Yu Wentao disliked it after reading a few pages: "Children play house."
Chang Guangrong said heartily, Sister Ye didn't lie to me, my uncle and aunt just love the family.
When he was about to leave, Dabao came in on a bicycle.
Chang Guangrong couldn't help but stop when he saw the car, and then circled Dabao three times to the left and three times to the right. Dabao was stunned by his look: "What are you looking at?"
"Dabao, is this the legendary mountain bike?" Chang Guangrong suddenly had an idea, "I'll lend it to my uncle later."
Dabao: "No! My school is big and it's inconvenient without a car."
"Not now, summer vacation." Chang Guangrong looked up, his eyes flashed when he saw Dabao's appearance, he held the back of his head and stared at his face up and down.
Dabao pushed his hand away: "Take medicine if you are sick!"
Chang Guangrong smiled.
Dabao suspected that he was seriously ill: "What do you want to do?"
"I'll talk to your mother another day." Chang Guangrong wanted to find the director at this moment, "By the way, Dabao, have you taken any photos recently?"
Dabao was confused: "Are you really not sick?"
Yu Wentao approached: "Dabao, don't be rude."
"He's like a psycho." Dabao couldn't help but stay away from him.
Chang Guangrong turned to Yu Wentao: "Aunt Yu, where is your photo album? Show me."
What’s so cool about a photo album? Yu Wentao also suspected that he was seriously ill: "You haven't seen anyone in our family." He complained like this, but went back to his room to get the photo album.
Yu Wentao's photo album includes family photos and single photos. There is only one photo of Chang Guangrong, with photos of Chu Guangming, Geng Leilei, Geng Huihui and others.
Yu Wentao was curious: "Why are you taking the photos?"
"Why is Guangming here?" Chang Guangrong said anxiously. I almost forgot about him.
Yu Wentao: "One year Benben came back just in time for Erbao's birthday. I don't know who suggested taking pictures. Guangming was waiting at our house to celebrate Erbao's birthday, so I asked him to come with us."
"Okay." Chang Guangrong nodded with satisfaction.
When Yu Wentao saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing? If you don't tell me, I will call the third child later."
"Why not!" Chang Guangrong inserted the photo into the script.
Yu Wentao couldn't help but said: "I understand."
"Understand what?"
Yu Wentao looked at the script.
Chang Guangrong was stunned, then smiled: "Aunt Yu, you have worked in the art troupe, you must know about positioning, lighting and makeup. I will ask you to be a consultant tomorrow."
"How much does it cost per day?"
Chang Guangrong: "What's the relationship between Sister Fan and I? How can you take my money? Besides, the company belongs to Sister Fan and I, so you should support Sister Fan. Let's go first!" I'm afraid I'll be stopped to "settle the account clearly." , said that and ran away quickly.
Dabao heard it: "My mother said before that she wanted to make a TV series. She didn't want me to be an extra, right?"
Yu Wentao remembered Chang Guangrong looking at his grandson's face: "Maybe he is the leading actor."
"How can I have time to argue with him?" Dabao frowned slightly.
Yu Wentao: "Ten episodes, one dog day will be enough."
Dabao couldn't believe it: "Making a TV series in the dog days of summer? Whose life does he want?!"
Yu Wentao thought about it seriously: "I am a consultant at my age. You want to kill me."
Dabao was speechless: "Grandma, I am very serious."
Yu Wentao was also very serious: "Ignore him, what he said doesn't count."
Dabao thought about it and said, "My mother would definitely not want me to be an extra in Dog Days. Besides, Guangming has no time either."
Ye Fan's second quarter shipment will be in early July - the summer vacation from college has just begun, and Chu Guangming wants to go out and gain experience.
Erbao told Ye Fan half-truthfully that as a future diplomat, how could she not have been abroad at the age of eighteen? Then she expressed that she hoped that her birthday gift this year would be a trip to the Soviet Union.
When Ye Fan heard her mention the gift, he took out the birthday gift he had prepared in advance - a colorful stone bracelet. Erbao complained that his mother’s gift was not thoughtful.
Ye Fan went out to make money, it was worth the hard work. Erbao didn't do anything. It was just a shameless day like the past in such a hot day. Ye Fan told her that it was hot in the car and it was very hard along the way. Erbaolai said, "Only when you have endured hardship can you become a master."
Speaking of this, Ye Fan could only take her with him.
Halfway through the ride, Erbao lost a lot of weight, and Ye Fan asked: "Is it fun?"
Erbao regretted following him, but didn't want to bow his head and admit his mistake, so he hugged Ye Fan and said, "Mom, you worked so hard."
Ye Fan laughed: "It's not hard."
"Mom, from now on my brother and I will wash clothes and cook, and you can have a good rest at home."
Seeing that she was becoming serious, Ye Fan replied seriously: "Mom didn't lie to you. It's really fine now. Because it was more difficult before."
In his previous life, Ye Fan got up at five o'clock for morning self-study and went home at eight o'clock in the evening. This situation lasted for six years. During the third year of junior high school and the third year of high school, he went home at nine-thirty and took extra classes on weekends. He could only take one break per month. Two days, but you also have to write test papers during these two days.
Now I just have to stay on the train for a few more days, which is not as easy as that time.
Erbao didn't know the truth and asked: "When you were a child, your grandparents had jobs, so they still asked you to do things?"
Ye Fan: "The pain now is that I am a little tired. In the past, I had money and could not buy food. Your mother had two meals a day and often woke up hungry in the middle of the night. The heartburn caused by hunger at that time was more uncomfortable than on the train."
Ye Fan wasn't talking nonsense. In her distant memory, for three years around the 1960s, the food was low on oil and there was no sugar all year round. The Ye family's conditions were good, but she and her brother were as hungry as nuts.
Father Ye had many connections and was able to get sugar and oil, but he gave them to the pillars of the country who needed them more.
So Zhang Xiaoming asked Ye Fan if he was tired. Ye Fan probably didn't believe it when he said it was okay, so he asked Zhang Xiaoming whether it was harder to pick goods in the south or farm work.
Then you have to do farm work.
There was no harvester in the place where Zhang Xiaoming went to the countryside, and there was a bumper wheat harvest. Zhang Xiaoming got up at two or three in the morning to harvest - the sun came out and dried the dew, and the wheat ears fell off as soon as they were touched, making it impossible to harvest.
It's not just a matter of cutting and finishing, it's just drying for a whole noon, then beating the field with a stone roller in the afternoon, wind blowing up the field in the evening, and then putting it away. This situation will last for a week. It’s not that everything will be fine once the wheat harvest is over. There are also sweet potatoes on barren land, cotton grown on riverside roads, and in autumn there may also be cotton, sesame, corn, soybeans, sorghum, etc.
You can't take a break during harvesting, because if you take a day off and it rains, the wheat will turn into malt, and people will most likely starve to death.
Zhang Xiaoming was embarrassed to answer and said: "Now you don't have to work so hard."
Ye Fan asked: "What are you doing at home if you don't go out?"
Zhang Xiaoming imagined that he would stare at his father every day, or look at each other with Dong Ying, and he would feel that his life was boring.
For a moment, Zhang Xiaoming thought about dancing to the disco at night, sleeping during the day, shopping in the afternoon, and continuing to have fun at night. But is that still how people live? Zhang Xiaoming felt that he still needed to find something to do. Since you want to do something, naturally look for something with big profits. Otherwise, what are you doing with the money from selling cabbage and the intention of selling cabbage?
From then on, Zhang Xiaoming never talked to Ye Fan about whether it was hard work or not.
Ye Fan saw his daughter's eyes turning red, pinched her little face and asked, "Er Bao, is it hard to learn so many languages?"
"I like it." Erbao blurted out.
Ye Fan: "Is it possible that my mother likes to make money?"
Erbao was stunned, obviously he had not thought about this.
Ye Fan: "You communicate with people in Russian and are praised for your good Russian. You are very satisfied and have a sense of accomplishment. Your mother feels the same way you did when she saw the money."
Erbao opened his mouth, buried his little head in his mother's arms, and said in a low voice: "Mom, your hobbies are so special."
"Your hobbies are also niche." Ye Fan touched his daughter's head, "You think I'm working hard, you think dad is working hard, but you don't know that we are both willing to do it, and even enjoy it. Grandma often helps your sister-in-law take care of the children, do you think She worked hard, but she felt it was worth it when she saw the little one doing well.”
"But I don't want my mother to work so hard."
Ye Fan: "It sounds like my mother is out all year round. This time I can rest for a month when I go back."
Erbao raised his head: "Don't mom want to make a computer?"
"I've already told you, and we're opening the mold now. Mom only needs to come out with samples to check the results, and then find the injection molding factory to produce them." Ye Fan said, "As for the construction site, Mom gives me a lot of money, so I don't need Mom to keep an eye on it. The same goes for the company. , Mom takes part of the dividends, and the team leader is as responsible as the deputy director of the state-owned unit, otherwise Mom will be too busy even if she is a strong person.”
Erbao was confused: "Don't you feel sad when mom likes to make money and gives money to others?"
Ye Fan: "The money is in my hands. I made myself sick because of exhaustion. It's a matter of earning money but not spending it. Some people may think that I am stupid and have too much money. In fact, my mother didn't give them much, because my colleagues were so picky and they all depended on me." They set it off. Besides, my mother is rich, as much as one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. It's not much. A loss of one or two hundred thousand won't affect the company's development, and it doesn't require my mother to cut back on food and clothing, but in the hands of the employees, my mother is a good leader. She is not willing to give up one or two hundred thousand in dividends, which will cause losses to the company. Maybe one or two million.”
Erbao asked: "Don't your colleagues understand?"
Ye Fan: "I understand. They will think that our country has a lot of people, and if you don't do it, someone will do it. They are calculating for a few hundred dollars. If mom has that time, why not go to the army to find your dad. They don't mind causing trouble every year, mom. Too troublesome.”
"Aren't you worried about feeding your employees' appetite?"
Ye Fan nodded: "But they don't dare, because they are not irreplaceable."
"Does anyone want to start their own business?"
Ye Fan: "There may be in the future, but it doesn't matter. Firstly, the market is huge, and secondly, if they don't exist, there will be others. For example, when selling clothes before, how many people followed suit? Have they caught up with mom?"
Erbao shook his head: "Mom, you are so amazing."
"My second child is also amazing. He can speak five foreign languages before he reaches adulthood. My mother will only speak one and a half in her life."
Erbao opened his eyes wide in shock: "One and a half doors?"
"One English and half Russian."
Erbao was happy.
Ye Fan was tired from standing by the door: "Er Bao, please go back to your seat and sit for a while?"
"Mom, how many more days will it take?"
Ye Fan did not answer directly: "The train will stop in a while. You go down and help Guangming and the others sell the goods. They will sell out as soon as possible and wait until the goods are out of stock in the capital of the Soviet Union. Mom and Construction will deliver the goods. You are just playing around and treating it like a trip?"< br>
"Who takes a few days to travel by train?" Erbao still couldn't help but feel emotional.
Ye Fan: "It takes so long for your aunt to come back."
Erbao stopped, his face full of shock.
Ye Fan said: "We don't need to change trains. Your aunt has to change trains. It's much harder than mom."
"Then Auntie's school starts on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and she won't be able to go back in time on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year." Ye Fan: "We can let other teachers take over the classes and fill them in when she arrives."
"No wonder my mother doesn't want to come back after the summer vacation."
Ye Fan said: "In the past, when you and your brother went to the southwest, you would have to take the train for a few days."
Erbao remembered it, and it was not much better than now. I didn’t realize how hard it was at that time, maybe because my grandma, brothers and sisters were all there, and there were people talking and playing along the way.
"Mom, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Ye Fan returned to his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Erbao asked Wei Jianshe opposite her if he had any playing cards. Wei Jianshe had it in his bag. Erbao took it and went to find Chu Guangming, his friends and Fa Xiao. The four of them happened to be playing poker.
Someone was playing with Erbao, and the second half of the journey went by very quickly.
Erbao used what she learned to help several people of similar age to her, and their net profits reached seven times. But it was also dangerous, and it was almost stolen twice. When they arrived in the capital of the Soviet Union and were having fun, they were targeted again. Fortunately, he made an appointment with Ye Fan to have lunch, and before those people could find a suitable opportunity, the locals drove Ye Fan to the agreed place.
When those people with ulterior motives saw that Ye Fan and his party had friends in the local area who were rich, they immediately did not dare to provoke these fat sheep.
Chu Guangming also discovered that they were being targeted. After getting on the return train, Chu Guangming dared to relax and said, "It's really scary!"
Wei Jianshe said: "So your Aunt Ye said you would stop working after two years to build the company."
Chu Guangming whispered: "Originally, I planned to come again with Aunt Ye in late August. Now that I think about it, I might as well forget it."
Wei Jianshe helped Chu Guangming and others buy tickets, so the seats were either together or adjacent. Wei Jianshe was so close that he could hear his uneasiness and said, "It's okay to find a few people together."
Chu Guangming: "Do it again and work honestly from now on."
Several people sitting behind Chu Guangming turned around, and one of them asked: "Are you graduating soon?"
Half of the carriage is considered to be Ye Fan's people, and some of them have been known to Chu Guangming since they were young. There is no need to hide it: "Yes. I feel that the school will arrange internships for us in the Gregorian calendar year."
"Then you go to work hard. We have no knowledge or skills and no one wants to do this kind of business. But if Sister Ye quits, we will just set up a stall and do some small business."
Wei Jianshe was surprised: "Are you willing to give up? A trip costs several thousand dollars."
"If you have a life, you must have a life to spend. If Sister Ye doesn't come here, we don't know who to call if something happens. If Sister Ye continues to do this, we can ask Sister Ye to find her business partner for help."
However, some people don't take it seriously and think that as long as they are careful, nothing will happen.
The capital is hot in summer, but it's not hot in the north. Half of the people on this trip plan to go back and rest for a few days before coming back. But they didn't want to hear Ye Fan pour cold water on him, so they closed their eyes and listened to the cowards talking and praising Ye Fan.
The day after Ye Fan arrived in the capital, Chang Guangrong came over. He saw that Er Bao had lost weight instead of tanning, which was very photogenic according to the director. He immediately asked Er Bao if he wanted to make a TV series. He asked Er Bao to be the heroine.
Erbao was confused and looked like "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Dabao rolled his eyes helplessly.
Ye Fan asked Chang Guangrong: "Are you planning to make a TV series with Dabao and Erbao?"
Chang Guangrong nodded: "I have already thought about it. Dabao will play the role of a young talent who graduated from a prestigious university and returns to school before the college entrance examination to encourage his juniors. Erbao will play the role of a high school student who is a bad student——"
"Wait a minute!" Erbao came to his senses and pointed at himself: "Am I playing a bad student?"
Chang Guangrong: "The daily life of a good student is nothing more than studying. At home, he is his parents' treasure, and at school he is his teacher's treasure. Poor students don't dare to play with you. What's the point of taking pictures? Besides, your mother specially reminded me to take good care of you." Learning must be inspiring. Only when poor students become good can they be called inspirational. It is normal for good students to go to college. ”
Erbao: "You can take good photos of students who fail."
Chang Guangrong glared at her: "Deliberately arguing with my uncle? Which parent or student wants to see a good student fail? Isn't this intentional to cause trouble for the audience? Maybe the audience collectively boycotted my sportswear. Besides, when it comes to sports, everyone's first reaction is It's a passionate scene Erbao, think about the reactions of your neighbors when you and your brother are admitted to college. How will your relatives and neighbors react when you think about Guangming's students? ?”
Erbao thought about it carefully: "It seems so."
"So you must be a poor student."
Erbao: "If there is a heroine, there is a hero, right? You can set me as a good student, and the hero is a poor student, and I will help him."
Chang Guangrong shook his head: "I talked to my niece. There are many girls who like to watch this kind of children's drama. Female students like boys who are good at studying. Only if the male protagonist is a good student can he retain you little girls."
Erbao snorted: "You know so well."
"Stop being so weird with your uncle. I asked no less than ten people, and there are only two little girls your age who like to fool around. But the poor class has the most bad students, and my uncle has prepared them for them."
Erbao: "But the logic doesn't make sense. How can there be good students in a bad class?"
Chang Guangrong: "Because this good student has a very good character, he said in class that the teacher was illiterate, and the teacher was so angry that he asked him to stand for punishment. He kept doing it, put away his books, and went to class."
Ye Fan: "You might as well set up a problem class."
"What do you mean?"
Ye Fan said: "Each class has a weirder temper than the last."
"That's too much -" Chang Guangrong thought about it, "What did the director say, yes, levitating. There is no sense of substitution, no one is watching and no one is talking, so my filming was in vain. I also asked my nephew, there is indeed a teacher He was a little illiterate. He asked the students to use the word "日和木", and the students said that there was no news about "杳". , he said the correct answer was fruit, and scolded the student for not talking more if he didn’t understand. The student was so unsure about the teacher’s tone that he went home to look up the dictionary to make sure he was right but didn’t dare to look for the teacher again. A few years after graduating from high school, he remembered this. The matter is still lingering in my mind.”
Ye Fan said: "Then just listen to the director."
Erbao: "Wait a minute, can't the male and female protagonists both be good students?"
Chang Guangrong: "Then tell me why you went to work. You can't be like the leading actor."
Erbao couldn't figure it out.
Ye Fan asked: "What do you think? Have you chosen the male lead?"
Chang Guangrong nodded: "Bright!"
Ye Fan was stunned.
Erbao couldn't help but ask: "Chu Guangming doesn't know yet?"
"I'll tell him later and he'll know." Chang Guangrong said without hesitation.
Erbao was convinced: "What can my mother do?"
"Your mother plays the role of a student parent. Chu Guangming has no father or mother, and his life experience is miserable. He only has an old woman." Chang Guangrong looked at Yu Wentao, "It will definitely attract many little girls to feel sorry for him."
Erbao was speechless and had a bad premonition: "Then I don't know the other students, right?"
Chang Guangrong nodded: "I told their parents that each person will be charged ten yuan a day, not including food and drink. You and Guangming are the protagonists, and they will be paid thirty yuan a day. The other actors range from fifteen to twenty-five yuan."
< br>
Erbao laughed angrily at his careful calculation: "It's ten yuan a day in the dog days of summer. Who will do it for you? Selling popsicles is more than that."
Chang Guangrong nodded: "There used to be few people selling popsicles, and I could earn ten or twenty. Now there are more, many people still have refrigerators, and there are canteens everywhere, and the exhausting work can only be twenty. But filming is different. You can take a break after filming. . And selling popsicles alone is not as fun as having dozens of people together. By the way, Dabao, there is a kid from a rich family in this class. Lend him your car for a few days." Turning to Ye Fan, "Sister Ye, When will we buy a car?”
Ye Fan also laughed angrily: "I bought it for you to use as a prop?"
Chang Guangrong planned this: "Give it to Huihui. Huihui is the class teacher, and Sensen will be the math teacher. By the way, Erbao, when will your Benben brother take a vacation? He can be the physical education teacher."
Erbao was shocked: "——You don't even let Brother Benben go?"
"I'll give you money."
Erbao asked angrily: "My second uncle has no money?"
"Here, who thinks it's too much money?" Chang Guangrong asked Ye Fan, "Brother Geng, please call and ask?"
Erbao said rudely: "My dad is not free!"
Chang Guangrong: "Then let my dad beat him? If people think he is my dad's nephew, don't blame my family for robbing your family."
Dabao nodded: "Okay. From now on, no one in the army will bully Brother Ben Ben."
Chang Guangrong didn't dare to trouble his father for such a trivial matter, and looked weird when he heard this. Dabao sneered when he saw this. Erbao asked: "When will it be turned on?"
Dabao: "The filming has started. Unexpected, right? It will be filmed in our alma mater. The exterior scenes will be filmed first."
Erbao opened his eyes wide in shock: "Aren't you afraid that we won't come back?"
Chang Guangrong is not afraid: "With your mother here, this kind of situation will not happen. If the businessmen who cooperate with your mother have checked your mother's background, they will not dare to let your mother get into trouble. By the way, Erbao, give you the cheapest Find the clothes. Guangming can wear his old clothes. Dabao, this is fine.”
Erbao didn't want to say anything for a while.
Ye Fan asked: "You just want to save money and trouble, do your clothes match your status?"
Chang Guangrong shook his head: "Not necessarily. But it doesn't matter. We have a clothing teacher. Erbao brought the clothes over and asked the teacher to help her put them on."
Erbao couldn't help complaining: "This is the first time I heard that actors are asked to bring their own costumes when filming. Should you give me some extra cost for the costumes?"
There is no installation fee, absolutely none! Chang Guangrong said: "I asked the makeup teacher to make you look beautiful, and I asked the lighting teacher to surround you with lighting."
Erbao rolled his eyes in anger: "Why should I wear makeup as a student? You don't even care to fool people!"
Chang Guangrong smiled nonchalantly: "That's it. If your mother goes north again, you are not allowed to follow her. My drama will be filmed until late August."
Erbao pretended not to hear.
Chang Guangrong took out a small notebook and wrote down the names of Ye Fan's family, followed by the corresponding roles such as whose grandmother and whose mother.
Yu Wentao waited for him to finish writing and then asked: "Xiao Chang, how much money can you save by saving like this?"
"It's similar to finding a big star to shoot an advertisement." Chang Guangrong said: "To shoot an advertisement, you have to spend money to find a TV station to put it on. This is for the TV station. The TV station will give me the money. Inside and out, I can save one or two million."
Yu Wentao took a breath.
Chang Guangrong asked: "Is it worth risking my face to ask Dabao to borrow a car with so much money?"
Yu Wentao nodded repeatedly.
Chang Guangrong asked: "Sister Ye, didn't you expect that?"
Ye Fan: "Money is the best driving force!"
"Don't forget your car." Chang Guangrong said: "It doesn't have to be very good, just Santana."
Ye Fan said: "I plan to buy an off-road vehicle."
Chang Guangrong opened his mouth and wanted to say that an off-road vehicle was not suitable for school dramas. When he saw Dabao, he remembered that his car had been borrowed by him: "That's okay. When the time comes, ask Dabao to drive back to school. It will be considered a homecoming!"
Ye Fan thought of a practical problem: "We have never filmed a movie before, so we don't know how to film it."
Chang Guangrong: "The director said that it only takes three days to train/teach newcomers. The key two treasures and Guangming are students. The audience can understand that their temperament is not good at acting. If they are experienced actors, the audience will see them It just feels like the old cucumber is painted green, no matter how good the acting is, it won’t work. Besides, Erbao knows Guangming and Huihui, and the filming is natural and just like real life. This can make up for the lack of acting skills. "< br>
Ye Fan was convinced: "Don't call me sister in the future, I'm ashamed of myself!"
