Chapter 272 Before leaving Beijing, he wrote a song for Gong Yin (please order the full version)
When we walked to the Overseas Chinese Apartment, the family's eyes were more or less focused on Feng's mother.
This is the house that Feng's mother has been thinking about for more than ten years.
But she didn't expect that it would actually come true in the hands of her son-in-law. More than 5,000 foreign exchange and rice gold coupons were said to be worth the money.
Especially the air conditioner in the master bedroom really surprised Feng's mother and Feng's father.
"Yeah, Mom, let me tell you, the air conditioner in my sister's house is so comfortable, right?"
"After my brother-in-law leaves in two days, mom and I will move here directly."
Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo is not planning to use the air conditioning tonight, but plans to move in directly after Cheng Xuemin goes to Northwest China.
I heard that the second sister-in-law and the others were very moved.
However, after being scolded by her mother, the Feng family was so unhappy that she muttered that she wanted to move over to sleep with her sister.
Okay, you can accompany me later if you want. Anyway, you'd better be smarter tonight and get out of here.
You have to give your sister and brother-in-law some private space, right?
Fortunately, Feng's mother and sister-in-law were both here before. Before leaving after seeing the house, they promised to put the electric fan in her room at the end of Feng's house and would never take it away from her, so they were reluctantly coaxed to leave.
It was rare to be together that night, so we didn't really fight until dawn. The Feng family had just given birth, so it shouldn't be too intense.
The next day, I took Feng Jiayou to the overseas Chinese store and bought the electric fan at home.
It just so happened that a batch of electric fans came into the Overseas Chinese Store, and Cheng Xuemin also had enough foreign exchange coupons, so he ordered four of them at once, spending nearly 900 foreign exchange coupons.
Refrigerators were a bit more expensive, and each one cost a thousand and a half dollars in foreign exchange coupons. In the end, the Feng family was reluctant to buy it.
Cheng Xuemin kept saying that he promised the two little guys that he would buy a freezer to stock up on popsicles for them.
"Xuemin, just pamper them! These fifteen thousand and fifty foreign exchange coupons are enough for the two of them to eat popsicles for more than ten years!"
"Besides, if we buy so many electrical appliances at home, can they only be operated by the voltage in our yard?"
Feng Jiayou’s rebuttal is indeed correct!
Just because the two little ones at home want to eat popsicles, I can’t pamper them and just buy a refrigerator and go home!
A refrigerator costs more than 1,500 yuan in foreign exchange coupons, which is equivalent to 3,000 to 4,000 yuan when converted into RMB.
How many popsicles can you buy for three to four thousand?
The popsicles outside only cost three cents each, ranging from three to four thousand yuan to hundreds of thousands of popsicles. Are they not allowed to eat them for more than ten years?
OK!
After listening to Feng Jiayou's crooked reasoning, it was really the same thing. Cheng Xuemin didn't bother to refute that buying a refrigerator was not just for eating popsicles.
I also thought that the current material conditions are not as good as they were a few decades ago, and I am reluctant to eat fresh food. In fact, there is not so much meat and fish to store in the refrigerator.
If you have a refrigerator at home, the most important thing is to decorate it and make it look good.
Finally, Feng Jiayou also got to the point. Household electricity consumption is indeed unstable these days. Power outages and tripping are commonplace every three days.
There are already so many electric fans at home, and buying a large, power-hungry refrigerator would be impossible to carry.
that's all!
I stopped buying the refrigerator and planned to buy a TV and a washing machine for the overseas Chinese apartment, but the Feng family also put it on hold.
Still reluctant!
You know, it would be very difficult for your daughter-in-law, who is a little money-mad, to use the money that goes into her coffers to spend it on extravagant purchases.
When Cheng Xuemin and his wife brought the electric fan home, their grandparents and second sister-in-law were shocked.
People say why buy so many electric fans?
"Grandma, now the second brother and the rest of the family don't have to fight each other!"
"Xuemin and I have settled the matter. We have one for each room, and no one needs to grab it!"
The young Feng family smiled and shouted to Grandma Gu Mu not to be too happy.
"Young man...when your mother comes back from get off work, she will definitely tell you that you spent money indiscriminately!"
Grandma shook her head and smiled bitterly. She didn't know whether she should say that her granddaughter bought it right or that she bought it wrong. Anyway, her mother would definitely say that she spent money indiscriminately.
There was news soon from Yan Film Factory. The people who were asked to deliver train tickets turned out to be Ge You and Tang Guoqiang. The pairing of them was indeed beyond Cheng Xuemin's expectation.
It’s not surprising that Mr. Teng of Yanying Factory asked Mr. Tang to give him train tickets. After all, Mr. Tang is now a popular student at Yanying Factory and has been running errands for the senior management of Yanying Factory. The deputy director of the factory, Teng, asked him to make a trip. , it is quite normal to give a train ticket as a gift.
It’s just this Lao Ge, isn’t he in the General Political Art Troupe?
Why did you come here with Tang Guoqiang?
"Xuemin is like this. Director Teng asked me to send you this train ticket, but I don't know your home address. I just said it's near Yanda!"
"I just happened to meet him, Ge You, in the factory. He said that you don't need to be too familiar with Xuemin. He knows where you live. He also happened to say that he wanted to come over to see you, so we came together!"
"Here, Xuemin, this is the train ticket that the factory has booked for you. It's a hard sleeper. It's on the train tomorrow afternoon. Is it okay if Lao Teng asked me to ask you?"
When Teacher Tang saw Cheng Xuemin wondering why he and Ge You ran together, he quickly explained.
He took out the train ticket again, handed it to Cheng Xuemin with both hands, and asked.
"Okay, okay, tomorrow afternoon, right?"
"This train? It goes to my hometown in the provincial capital. I take it often, no problem!"
After hearing this, Cheng Xuemin suddenly realized that Ge You had gone to Yan Film Studio today!
No wonder!
After all, Ge You's parents are both employees of Yan Film Factory. His father is an old artist of Yan Film Factory, and his mother is a literary editor of Yan Film Factory. They live in the family building of Yan Film Factory. Ge You's presence there is regarded as returning home. .
"That's good, that's good. Director Teng is still worried about whether tomorrow's train is too hasty!" Teacher Tang wiped the sweat from his face and said angrily. "Old Tang, Lao Ge, come in and sit down! It's such a hot day, why bother to go there yourself!"
Cheng Xuemin quickly welcomed the two of them into the house, and then helped them pour a bowl of cold water.
"Liqin, help uncle go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy ten popsicles!"
Then, Cheng Xuemin gave Feng Liqin, who was watching TV nearby, five cents and asked her to go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy ten popsicles.
"Uncle, uncle, ten popsicles and three cents, can you give me fifty cents?"
"You keep the remaining two cents for each of you and your brother!"
How much does a popsicle cost? The two little ones didn't check the door and accepted the 50 cents handed over by Cheng Xuemin. They didn't want to be too naughty when they asked knowingly.
"Okay, okay, thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle!"
"Li Wen, go buy some popsicles for your uncle!"
When the two little guys heard that they were going to buy popsicles, they jumped up and down happily and skipped out the door.
"Remember to go and come back quickly!"
Cheng Xuemin explained something later, otherwise he might not come back if he didn't finish the five cents.
"Xuemin, are these all awards you won?"
"It's amazing!"
Like other guests, Teacher Tang was attracted by the certificates posted on the wall of the main room for the first time.
Especially when he saw the award won by Cheng Xuemin and the framed piece of inscription written by "Pioneering Reform", Tang Guoqiang couldn't help but marvel and admire.
"This is all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore!"
Cheng Xuemin waved his hands repeatedly, even though it had been a long time, but every time he was amazed by the guests who came to the door, he felt a little embarrassed.
It is indeed posted too conspicuously, as if he is afraid that others will not see it.
"Lao Cheng, what's wrong? Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Ge You took a sip of the cold water in his hand. After he recovered from the heat, he asked Cheng Xuemin.
"Ah! I was supposed to leave with Director Xie and the others last month. Didn't I have to take the college entrance examination? I've been delayed until now!"
"Why is there something wrong with you, Lao Ge?"
Just now Tang Guoqiang said that Ge You was going to come over to see him, so Cheng Xuemin asked.
Could it be that "Garland Under the Mountain" has news from the General Administration and asked Ge You to run an errand to convey it?
"What can happen to me!" But Ge You shook his head and continued, "It's Gong Yin who has something to do. She asked me to give you a message and wants your help!"
"Gong Yin? What happened to her?"
There has been no news from Gong Yin for a long time. Since returning from the front line, Cheng Xuemin has directly asked for leave and has not even gone to Yanda University.
I don’t know if Gong Ying continued to take the correspondence courses at Yanda.
Anyway, they happened to meet each other on the day Feng Jiayou gave birth, and later Gong Yin and monitor Han came over to express their condolences, but they didn't see each other much.
Unexpectedly, Ge You actually brought news about Gong Yin today.
how?
What kind of problem does Gong Yin encounter now and needs Cheng Xuemin's help?
"Lao Cheng is like this. Our troupe is currently writing and directing a play about the front line. Gong Yin also has a solo singer. The troupe suggested a new song!"
"So no, I immediately thought of you, Xuemin! I hope you, Xuemin, can help write a song!"
Ge You told Gong Yin about the new song, and then praised it, "And Xuemin, you may not know that the song you wrote and sang on the front line really shouldn't be too popular now!"
"I've heard that it's being sung in all war zones now, and I've also heard that schools in many places have arranged for students to learn it."
Ge You didn't need to say this. In fact, Cheng Xuemin also knew it.
Even the middle school and high school students at the High School Affiliated to Yanda University have organized students to learn to sing his song "Style", and even Feng Liqin, who is in elementary school, can sing it.
Moreover, Cheng Xuemin also read in the newspaper that the General Administration's condolences team is now going to local places to express condolences. His song will definitely be sung, and it will be impossible to listen to it over and over again.
Very popular indeed!
Because of this, it was only a matter of time before the General Administration approached Cheng Xuemin for a singing appointment.
He didn't speak up some time ago, maybe because he didn't want Cheng Xuemin's creation to be disturbed.
Cheng Xuemin and Ge You smiled, and then asked Gong Yin if he had any requirements for this song appointment.
Ge You said he had no request. Anyway, Cheng Xuemin came back from the front line to offer condolences, and there was a precedent for a song becoming popular before, so Cheng Xuemin would write whatever style of new song he wanted.
to this end!
Cheng Xuemin nodded, indicating that he knew it well, and told Ge You that he had indeed written a song recently due to his feelings, and asked him to take it back after lunch and try singing it.
When Ge You heard that the relationship was good, it was better to come early than to come by chance, otherwise Cheng Xuemin would have gone to the northwest if he had been two days late.
Afterwards, after chatting with Teacher Ge Youtang and the others for a while, the daughter-in-law Feng Jiayou also came from the backyard and said hello to them. Then she went to prepare lunch and asked the second sister-in-law to go out to buy some meat and vegetables.
The two little guys were not bad either. They bought the popsicles and gave them to Teacher Tang, Ge You and others to relieve the heat. They temporarily covered the extra popsicles with cotton cloth to prevent them from melting away.
The fifteenth moon!
Cheng Xuemin just told Ge You that he had written a new song. In fact, he just said it so casually. When he had time to write, Cheng Xuemin thought about it again and again and again. This song "Moon on the Fifteenth" can be combined with "Elegance". The film reveals the cruelty of the frontline battlefield.
…
Asking for a monthly ticket!
