Chapter 479 Respecting the Father and Respecting the Son for the First Thirty Years, and Respecting the Father for the Second Thirty Years

Sunday morning, Jinan Prefecture.

Li's mother came back from buying vegetables, greeted people downstairs, went upstairs, opened the door, and shouted out of habit, "I'm back!"

nothing happened.

Mama Li didn't care at first, she changed her slippers and put down the dishes, feeling something was wrong, she went over to push open the door of the study carefully.

As soon as the door opened, my good fellow, a choking smell of smoke hit my face.

In the misty place, Father Li was facing the manuscript, typing on the computer keyboard with one finger on each hand.

Li's mother slapped her, "What are you doing, this is, oh my god, it looks like you followed the clouds!"

Father Li turned his head back, with an excited expression on his face, "Don't worry, don't worry, it will be over soon, just wait for me, there are still two lines left, it will be over in five minutes!"

Mama Li frowned and closed the door silently to leave, but after thinking about it, she sighed and opened the door again, then walked around Papa Li's desk, opened the window in the past, walked to the bedroom on the south side, and closed the door , windows are open.

Not to mention, when a gust of wind came, most of the smoke was blown away immediately.

About ten minutes later, Mama Li heard the printer start beeping in the study. Father Li was very proud of this since Li Qian bought it. Every time he wrote something, he had to print it out by himself.

Not long after, Dad Li finished printing out the manuscript, and ran out excitedly. He hadn't taken off his glasses yet, and punched the manuscript in front of Mother Li, "Look, you help check it out."

"Written for your son?"

"Ah! Hey, it's not that I wrote it specifically for my son, isn't it? The old grandson of Quancheng Daily is always urging and urging, asking for manuscripts, saying that once my previous essays are published, oh, the readers will respond. , They are all very good! Isn’t this just right, I will write something, help my son advertise, and promote it.”

Li Ma took it and looked at the title, "Legend of the White Snake".

Don't think I'm not good at writing and writing, but in the past few years, the environment and atmosphere inside and outside the family have changed a lot. Li's mother has a special research on this now. In the words of Li's father, if this manuscript is not After being reviewed by Mama Li, she didn’t dare to post it outside for fear of losing her face—just looking at the title, Mama Li said directly: “You can’t do this! If I guessed correctly, you must have read the TV series from beginning to end. Did you go over the origin of the story?"

Father Li was surprised, "Ah... yes!"

Li's mother frowned at the time, "Where can I go? What is advertising? It means that my medicine will cure my illness. I said that my shoes are deodorant. That is called advertising. How can I advertise for a TV series?" , you have to say how good the filming of the TV series is, you..."

Father Li blinked his eyes, took off his glasses, sat down next to Mother Li, and said, "You think I don't want to write about that, it's impossible, I don't even know how to film or anything, and I haven't written about it. Film review, I’m afraid that I’m afraid I’m going to write it in a hurry, it’s embarrassing! So I thought, I’m ordering a manuscript, I’ll talk about this first! I’m learning to write film reviews recently, so I’ll send this out first. It's called Zhang Mu, do you understand? Gang Ju is Mu Zhang! In the next article, I will write a review article for a TV series, hey, this is called the same line, with a foundation."

Li Ma glanced at him, too lazy to say anything to Old Wenqing, and started to read the manuscript for him.

Father Li sat beside him anxiously, waiting for his evaluation.

Just at this moment, Dad Li's cell phone rang suddenly, he took it out to have a look, and hurriedly said to Mom Li: "Look, look, old grandson! If you say this, it's probably another reminder! Sigh..." In the meantime, I answered the phone.

Li Ma turned her head and glanced at him, she could feel his complacency and ease, to be honest, she wanted to roll her eyes at him and hit him, but she was really happy for him.

Although he has been busy for many days to write a manuscript, the manuscript fee is only a few tens of yuan, and it is less than a hundred, but who made him love this, what can be done?

"Hello, old grandson."

"Hey, Brother Li, are you at home?"

"Ah, I'm here! I'm at home! Is there something wrong?"

"Brother Li, that's the case, isn't it? Our general manager, Mr. Zhu, specially asked me to call you to see if you are at home. This, our Mr. Zhu, is still the Zhao station of our SHANDONG Satellite TV Chief, I have admired your elder brother for a long time, this, if it is convenient, Zhu Zong and Master Zhao, want to visit your home, look..."

"Uh... ah... whoops, whoops, don't dare to be... this... oh, it's convenient, it's convenient! What's the inconvenience, it's... President Zhu? Why return the TV station?"

Mama Li stopped a long time ago and turned to look at Papa Li.

The old couple exchanged a look, both a little confused.

"That's right, it's the deputy director of our satellite TV station, Director Zhao! Hey, it's really nothing, it's just pure, I'll visit you in the past, isn't that right, you are also a famous person in the cultural circle of our Jinan Prefecture Well! Director Zhao and Mr. Zhu have admired you for a long time, so, look..."

"Oh, oh... oh, of course you are welcome, er, that is... oh, I live in this place, you know that you have been here, this, I'm afraid it's not easy to entertain such a distinguished guest! Um, um, okay All right, then you guys come here, then I will wait for you at home, hey, hey, okay, okay, goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, the couple stared wide-eyed.

"The deputy director of the TV station? From the provincial station?" Li Ma asked.

"Ah! The deputy director, the surname is Zhao! And the deputy general manager of Quancheng Daily, the surname is Zhu! Tell me, why do they..."

Mama Li frowned, vaguely guessing something, and said, "Isn't it related to Xiaoqian?"

Father Li also frowned, "It can only be because of him, you just look at the two of us, why would people come to visit us on their own initiative, a poor schoolteacher, and a small accountant... Maybe!"

But at this point, he looked at his phone and couldn't help but said: "But the problem is, when Xiaoqian first became famous, they wanted to interview and so on. We have already said that, what Xiaoqian said, we will never accept it Any interview, did you forget?"

Li Ma said: "Then how can I forget it! It is said that once the interview is accepted, there will be no silence. I know that my son is for our own good! But why..."

Father Li thought for a while, picked up the phone, "I have to call Xiaoqian first, don't just in case there is something wrong, don't dare to make any mistakes between the two of us, and ruin our son's affairs!"

Li Ma nodded and said: "Then you call... But, Xiaoqian has nothing to do with our satellite TV station. How could a director of the station come to our house in person?"

While Mama Li was talking, the phone call was already connected.

But no one answered for a long time, and Dad Li got used to it, knowing that whenever Li Qian was busy with other things, he would leave his cell phone with the assistant, so he waited patiently. Sure enough, after about half a minute, the call was connected.

Li Qian was panting, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Father Li frowned, and when he saw Mother Li approaching, he simply pressed the hands-free button and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you panting so badly?"

Li Qian said: "I'm learning to dance, hip-hop! Oh my God! I don't know if I don't learn. I'm startled when I learn. I'm so tired!"

Li's father and Li's mother were a little confused, Li's father said: "Oh...you still learn to dance?"

"Well, it will be useful for me to follow up! Dad, you must have something to do when you call, so let's talk about it."

"Well... Just now, a friend of mine, from the newspaper office, called and said that the general manager of their newspaper office, surnamed Zhu, and the deputy director of our SHANDONG Satellite TV station, surnamed Zhao, said they would come to visit! You Said, your mother and I have nothing worthy of a visit, we just thought about it, maybe we came here for you?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Qian said "oh".

Father Li went on to say: "The meaning of my calling you is to ask you if something happened recently, otherwise, there is no reason for a TV station director to come to our house to visit me Damn you, right? If there is anything wrong with this, if there is anything to pay attention to, you should talk to us first, so that we don’t know if we should agree or not if we say something, don’t make a mistake. , affects you!"

On the other end of the phone, Li Qian paused for a while before saying with a little smile: "It's okay, Dad, they went to see you, you and my mother, to save face for you, to save face, and to save face for me. Although I don’t live at home now, but how many years have you stayed there, it’s not a bad thing to know more people and have a few more connections. When they come, don’t worry too much, it’s a serious matter, I I guess they won't mention it at all, at most they are just chatting with you and making friends, even if they mention it, I guess it's just a little bit to stop! And you, how to entertain, how to entertain, whatever they say, you just agree Come down. Don't worry about the benefits he promised, you will accept them all, and they will come to me if they have any demands later, and I will compensate them all."

Both Li's father and Li's mother were a little stunned, and they looked at each other. Li's father said: "Then what if they want to find you, or ask Xiao Liao and you to be on the show or something? Aren't you not on the show? ?”

This time, Li Qian really laughed when he heard the words, and then he said in a relaxed voice: "No dad, I guess there are nine out of ten, they came here for my TV series. I guess they want to win one The quota for the second round! Then just give it to them, anyway, the TV station in my hometown, they go to visit you and my mother like that, this face, I have to give it no matter what!"

"Huh? TV series?"

The two of them froze again.

Father Li was still worried that his son's TV series would not sell well and no one would watch it. He had been busy working on the manuscript for a long time, and wanted to help his son to promote it. As a result, the deputy director of SHANDONG Satellite TV came over to visit his old couple. , in order to get the right to broadcast the second round of his son's TV series by detours?

Swallowing his saliva, Father Li asked cautiously: "Xiaoqian, your TV series, now... what is that word called..."

"Ratings?"

"Yes, the ratings! How's the ratings? It seems... not bad?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Qian smiled and said: "I don't know, I didn't ask, Teacher Qi has daily data feedback, but I said in advance, I will watch it after the 20th episode is over. Data, before that, I won’t let her tell me! Because it’s meaningless! But...have already played six episodes, right? I guess there should be some movement!"

…………

After hanging up the phone, Father Li and Mother Li looked at each other in blank dismay.

After being stunned for a long time, Mama Li suddenly came back to her senses, "Oh, this house is in a mess, I have to clean it up quickly, otherwise it will be a joke if people see it!"

Father Li also came back to his senses, "Ah, yes, clean up!"

…………

Just come.

It took only half an hour after the phone call, and Lao Sun, the editor-in-chief of Quancheng Daily, brought someone here.

The vice-director Zhao from the provincial station was a little short and fat, and the general manager Zhu from the newspaper was tall and imposing. What's more, their appearance and posture make it look like someone with power in their hands, and they all look like they have a shiny seal and a red face.

But when they met Li's father and Li's mother, both of them were very polite. He took the initiative to come over to shake hands, with a smile on his face, and yelled "Old Brother Li" one after another-to be honest, his official position and power in his hands are much greater than that of the principal of Papa Li's school!

Both of them came with the secretary and the driver. Of course, the secretary didn't enter the house, so he brought up the big and small gifts and took them out. Mama Li glanced at them secretly, and they seemed to be quite expensive things.

Father Li is determined not to accept gifts, that's for sure.

But Dad Li is a scholar, and his words are incomparable to those who often deal with officials. After a few words, he killed him for the first time. There is absolutely no reason to come empty-handed. up.

Putting down the things, Mama Li made some tea, and everyone sat down and chatted for a while, about teaching work, literature, and I have read a few of your articles, and the writing is really good, etc. In short, I guess They also pulled out all the shining points that could be found on Li's father-everyone loves to hear good words.

However, the strange thing is that the other party didn't mention a word about Li Qian, the most conspicuous highlight of Li Qian's father and mother. It seems to be saying, I really came here for you, it doesn't matter who your son is!

After sitting down and chatting for half an hour, the other party left, leaving behind six boxes of things.

Both Li's father and Li's mother were sent downstairs. The friend of Li's father in Quancheng Daily, Sun Wan, walked a few steps and waited for the two cars to leave before turning his head and saying to Li's father: "Your Li Qian's TV series, "Legend of the New White Snake" is on fire! Hey, it's just the sixth episode, and it's number one in the country! Brother Li, did you see, the deputy director of our provincial station has to rush over to give you a present! "

Father Li looked a little at a loss.

His face was flushed, a kind of red with a red light.

But there was a look of surprise, and some panic when the wind and rain came suddenly.

It seems that he knows that now, he still can't accept the reality in front of him-his article has just been written, and this is the first one. TV dramas, are they going to be big hits? And it's so popular that even the deputy director of the provincial TV station has to rush to give him a gift?

To be honest, it took me a while to come back to my senses.

But at this time, the old grandson must have been ordered. Naturally, he was responsible for clarifying the words at this time, so he handed Dad Li a cigarette, and both of them lit the lighter in his hand, and then He said: "Brother Li, I'm just passing on a message for others! That's it, do you want to kiss the people in your hometown? You turn around and call Li Qian. Why don't your family members show some face? Master Zhao said Now, how much should I pay, and what price do other stations give? Our provincial station has no second choice. For the second round of broadcasting rights of his TV series, we must leave a spot for our provincial station!... That's all Well, I have to borrow your face!"

…………

Lao Sun's car started, and he deliberately rolled down the window glass to wave to Li's father and mother, and then drove away.

When he left, there was only a cigarette butt left in Li's father's hand, but he was smoking desperately, smoking one after another.

Li's mother touched him, "Hey, let's go back? Everyone is gone!"

"Ah? Oh..." Father Li took another puff, threw away the butt of the cigarette, and went upstairs with Mother Li.

Back home, Dad Li sat down on the sofa and lit another cigarette.

Your mother started to sort through the several large boxes of gifts. In the past few years, Mama Li has had money in her hands, and she has seen a lot of good things. Looking at it now, the few boxes of things they brought are not particularly expensive.

There are double portions of everything, two bags of small ground sesame oil, premium grade, two boxes of Tieguanyin, two boxes of Lapsang Souchong, two boxes of vacuum-packed donkey meat, two boxes of ginseng, and two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin ——Li Ma asked: "What do you think is more expensive, ginseng or donkey-hide gelatin?"

Father Li was distracted. Hearing this, he turned his head and glanced, and subconsciously said: "People of this level should give gifts with less affection than gifts! Uh... tell me, I guess tea may be more expensive! More expensive than ginseng donkey-hide gelatin! "

Li Ma was surprised, and turned back to pick up a box of Lapsang Souchong, looked it over and over again, feeling a sense of joy of receiving a gift, and said: "I will open it later, let's make a pot, you can taste it."

Father Li sucked on a cigarette, puffing and puffing.

After smoking the end of a cigarette, he extinguished the butt of the cigarette, and when he looked back at Li Ma, who was still flipping through things happily, he couldn't help but sighed.

Li's mother turned to look at him, "Why are you sighing!"

Father Li rubbed his brows, "In the past, Xiaoqian was popular enough, but we just felt that the people around us all thought we were more polite, and then, since we were richer, my son would be more polite. Give a large sum of money, the money he gave in the past few years is enough for us to buy three or five large villas in Jinan Prefecture. But I don’t think anything else, it seems that nothing is going on! But this time... "

Having said that, he sighed again, collapsed on the sofa, and looked up at the ceiling leisurely.

Mama Li seemed to have recollected it at this time, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit, so she smiled and sat down next to Papa Li, took his hand, patted it, and said with a smile: "Didn't you often talk about that in the past two years?" In a word, what is it called?"

Father Li smiled, and there was an indescribable complexity in that smile.

Proud, proud, complacent, gratified, but also somewhat indescribably relieved.

Then, he said: "Respect your father and respect your son for the first thirty years, and respect your father for the next thirty years!"

Li Ma patted his hand and said with a smile: "Yes! That's what I said!"
