1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 281: Go get some melon seeds for Xiaoxu~
In the summer, I pedaled so hard that the chain was about to smoke, and I got home quickly!

At this time, Milan and the other three also put the dumplings into the pot according to the time.

Seeing Xia Tian coming in, Zhang Li took off his coat, Xiao Xu took off his scarf, and Milan took off his gloves.
Bubbling beauty!

"Wait a moment!" Xia Tian said, and ran out of the bedroom and went to the study room on the side.

He took out three bookmarks from a book.

He made it himself, simply drawing a pattern and writing a blessing, then brushing it with varnish for easier preservation.

"Here! New Year's presents!" Xia Tian gave one to each of the three of them.

Xiao Xu looked at the bookmark with the plum blossom on it and read the blessing on it softly: "I hope that there is no need for a specific day, and every day can be peaceful and happy."

The bookmark in Zhang Li's hand is painted with a peony: "May there be lights at night, someone in my dreams, peace and joy, and may all my wishes come true."

Milan's bookmark has an orchid painted on it, which reads, "All your wishes will come true, your path will be smooth, you will be filled with joy and long-lasting peace..."

I have to say, being romantic does work!

The three were so moved that their faces turned red and their eyes sparkled.

Xia Tian held all three of them in his arms: "May the people around me who keep nagging me become people who live year after year."

……

Well, after the romance, it’s time to eat dumplings!
Several people were scooping up dumplings, putting them on plates and putting them on the table. There were garlic sauce, vinegar, and chili oil, so it should be safe and risk-free~
"What's the filling of the dumplings?" Xia Tian asked when he saw that there were obviously two different dumplings.

He didn't take care of the dumplings as he was busy with the Spring Festival Gala. Milan and the other two made them.

When Milan heard Xia Tian ask what the filling was, she couldn't help laughing: "Five fillings, all in one pot, whichever one you get to eat is the one!"

Just focus on randomness?

She also asked Xia Tian to guess who made each dumpling.

Do you need to guess?!
The three strange-shaped dumplings that Xiaoxu had spent ten minutes wrapping have been fished out by Zhang Li. The three of them formed a three-body system on the water, floating up and down unsteadily. If they were a second late, their mouths would open and the fillings would be exposed!
Because it was already midnight, no one ate much.

But there was still a coin in the dumpling, and Milan ate it!

"Woo~" Milan stopped chewing and carefully spit out a coin!
"Haha! There is a coin in the dumplings. I will definitely get rich next year." She was very proud!
Xiaoxu pouted and put down his chopsticks. He had eaten two more pieces today on purpose because he wanted to eat the coin, but he didn't expect that Mi Yourong got there first!

She looked at Milan and smiled: "I will put a weight in your dumplings tomorrow, and I guarantee you will make a fortune!"

"Bah! Are you calling me a turtle?" Milan pounced over and was about to tickle Xiaoxu.

It seemed that they were full, so Xia Tian and Zhang Li continued to eat dumplings slowly.

……

No one could sleep at night, so they discussed whether they should stay up all night.
Xiaoxu said let Xia Tian tell him a story!
Xia Tian thought for a moment and said, "Once upon a time there was a little boy named Xiao Qian and a little girl named Xiao Bei. One night..."

He suddenly stopped talking!

Xiao Xu asked: "What happened next? What happened at night?"

Xia Tian touched her face and said, "Be good and go to sleep!"

Zhang Li: “Puff~”

Xiao Xu was reminded by Zhang Li's laughter and reacted: "I just think about this kind of thing all day long!"

Summer was in the mood!
"Now that you say that...I can't let you frame someone innocent for nothing!"

"Milan, Zhang Li! You two hold Xiaoxu's hands down, so she won't scratch them again later~"

Xiao Xu: "Let me go! Help~ Help~"

Zhang Li also learned bad things from Milan, and said with a wicked smile: "Young lady, just obey my master!"

Milan: "That's right! No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out~"

……

The three of them woke up late the next day - Xia Tian had finished his morning exercises and started preparing breakfast.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, all breakfast shops were closed, so I had to make it myself.

But there are still dumplings left over from last night, which is easy to deal with. At this time, the bedroom has been heated by the summer, Milan directly got up from the quilt, stretched his waist and showed his figure~
"Ah~ He will definitely take some supplements... I used to be so tired that I couldn't even get up, and my back and waist ached, but he was full of energy!"

Xia Tian just walked into the room and said, "If you guys hadn't hindered my practice, I might have become an immortal by now!"

This immediately hit Milan's sore spot: "Still want to become an immortal? Beat him!"

She has reached a consensus with Xiaoxu and Zhang Li - he must be dispelled from this evil thought!

I must admit it myself - I am happy at home and don’t think about immortality!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Yanjing Morning Post had already published a lot of news about last night's Spring Festival Gala.

If it were a year or two ago, news about the Spring Festival Gala would usually only be available on the second or third day of the Chinese New Year.

But after the Spring Festival Gala in recent years, the editorial departments of newspapers have also rolled up their sleeves - they write manuscripts right on the scene of the Spring Festival Gala, and typeset and print them overnight as soon as the Gala ends!

Naturally, there was a lot of discussion about Xia in the newspapers, especially a lot of praise for "Chinese Kung Fu".

They also reported the news about their compatriot Fei Xiang on the island and praised him.

Xiao Xu and Zhang Li saw the news about the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" in the newspaper. The newspaper reminded the audience: The TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" will be broadcast on time at 7:40 pm on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

This is a trial broadcast, and the first six episodes will be aired first to test the waters.

In this respect, it is not as good as "Journey to the West", which starts off at full speed.

However, "Dream of Red Mansions" is still controversial among experts, and the station is not sure whether the audience will like it, so this trial broadcast was held.

We don’t go out on the first day of the Lunar New Year. In the summer, except for going home to have lunch with my parents, we stay at home in the courtyard, snuggling together on the sofa, reading books.

Milan likes entertainment newspapers and magazines such as "Popular Movies" and "Popular TV", as well as "Story Club" and "Comic King".
Xiaoxu likes some traditional literature, books and magazines with a strong literary style such as "Poetry Magazine" and "Fine Arts".

Zhang Li reads a wider range of books, including many serious literary magazines that Xia Tian subscribes to, as well as many knowledge books and reference books that he collects. He even reads "Das Kapital" and "The Wealth of Nations".

It was not until seven o'clock in the evening that Milan turned off the radio and several people started watching the "News Network".

It can be seen that Xiaoxu and Zhang Li are a little anxious, and they are a little fidgety when watching the news.

After the news ended, there were five minutes of advertisements, five minutes of content like public welfare announcements, and then I heard familiar music!

There was a sound of guqin, followed by Chen Li’s female voice singing!
This is "Overture to the Red Mansion"! Although there are no lyrics, it fully displays the sorrow and melancholy!

Then the huge rock of Huangshan appeared on the screen!
In order to shoot this stone, the crew traveled through mountains and rivers. During the journey, the equipment even slipped off the cliff. The staff tied a rope around their waists and went down to pick it up!
When the three big words "Dream of Red Mansions" appeared, Xiaoxu and Zhang Li already had tears in their eyes.

As soon as the TV series started, the two of them didn't dare to watch it anymore. They hid their heads in Xia Tian's arms and wiped their tears secretly.

Milan got excited and started singing along with the music on TV:
"One is a fairy flower in the paradise, the other is a flawless jade~
If there is no fate, I will meet him again in this life~
If there is a destiny, how can my heart finally become empty~"

I don’t know if it was because it reminded Xiaoxu of his sadness, or because her singing was so bad, but Xiaoxu couldn’t help but burst into tears!
Xia Tian immediately stopped Milan's hateful behavior of rubbing salt into the wound!
"Xiao Xu is already feeling uncomfortable, and you are teasing him! Go get some melon seeds for Xiao Xu~"

Milan went to bring melon seeds, peanuts and candies with a smile. Xiaoxu leaned on Xia Tian, ​​tears still on his face. He grabbed a few candies with grievance and gave some to Zhang Li.
By the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, when the trial broadcast of the six episodes of Red Mansions was completed, CCTV staff conducted a sample survey in accordance with summer’s proposal.

According to the data, the ratings of these six episodes in the Yanjing area increased from 67% to 74% in just three days!

Although it cannot compare with "Journey to the West", the audience of "Dream of Red Mansions" is naturally much smaller than that of Journey to the West, which is not bad.

Then summer started "war" again in the newspapers!

Xia Tian: All the experts and critics of the Redology field, come and fight! My pen is thirsty for it!

Nowadays, few people criticize Xia Tian anymore, mainly because criticizing is useless and they can’t win the fight!
In summer, there are insults from public to private, from big to small, from elegant to vulgar!

The genres range from prose to discussion, from narration to fairy tales and fables... That guy is better at scolding than writing!
And his support rate in Yanjing is too high now!

Many of the old men who had quarreled with him in the newspapers could often be seen on the streets holding newspapers and criticizing him.

Listen carefully - several people are supporting Xia Tian and then scolding themselves!

It’s fine if you scold me in the newspaper, but why is there offline off-field assistance?
Who wouldn’t get angry after hearing this? People with weak hearts are prone to getting sick!

So over the past four or five years, everyone has gradually ignored him.

No one mentioned him - you can't just call me a "righteous army"? !
This time, Xia Tian got the chance to enjoy himself again.

That's quoting from classics, starting from the time when red studies began in the Republic of China, and excavating them one by one!
Many Redologists became anxious: I didn’t scold you!

The Red Research Institute even issued a warning internally: Don’t get involved! Don’t draw the attention of the people to our research institute!
When the time comes, people will see: You are not doing your job, but just researching this stuff, and you are still paid and given subsidies! Do you deserve it? ! How many do you deserve? !
