1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 127 Noble Man
"This family is so low-key! So easy to get along with!"

"They fried hairtail at home and gave it to us neighbors."

"Good background! Good class! I know his mother, she's a worker!"

Pan Ying interviewed a group of nearby neighbors. The family members who were installing the stage were very enthusiastic and chattering.

Zheng Ping recorded some meaningless things, took some photos, and said goodbye.

As soon as she left, Jiang Xian's house became lively and neighbors all came to try to get close to them.

"Child, try some of the meatballs that my aunt just fried."

"Come to our house for dinner tonight! We're having steamed pork with rice flour tonight!"

"Look at you, you wrote that crosstalk, but you didn't even tell the uncles and aunts about it."

"That's right. I didn't know you were such a great writer after living here for so long."

"Son, learn more from your brother."

"What do you usually think about? Why is it so advanced? Share it with these young people."

"Nothing." Jiang Xian said openly, "I just like reading books."

He dare not say anything big and bring disaster to these budding flowers of the motherland.

And what experience can he share? He is not Zhang Xuefeng.

A few days later, Jiang Qin, Bian Huawei and their family arrived in Beijing from Shanghai.

It was noon when we arrived, and the sun was shining brightly. The yellow three-story building at No. 15 Hufang Road looked exceptionally neat and beautiful under the clean beams of sunlight.

"This house is in great condition, better than the one we have in Shanghai." Jiang Qin looked around with surprise.

Her two sons, who were always as naughty as devils, did not dare to run around now. When they saw such a neat little building, they felt shocked and were too restrained to go in.

Bian Huawei adjusted his glasses and asked, "How much is the monthly rent?"

"8 yuan." Jiang Xian replied.

"So expensive?" Bian Huawei was a little shocked, but considering Jiang Xian's creative frequency this year and the continuous publication of his works, this little money was really nothing to him.

"Sister, you don't know, my brother also bought a courtyard house!" Jiang Ke happily took Jiang Qin's hand and shared it with her.

"A courtyard house?" Jiang Qin was surprised. "How much did it cost? Where did you buy it?"

"I'll take you to see it later. Let's go home first, let's go home first." Jiang Xian helped carry the luggage and pushed Jiang Qin's shoulder.

The reunion of mother and daughter is full of sighs.

Bian Huawei and Jiang Xian were standing in the corridor.

"Brother-in-law, just stay at home tonight. We can squeeze in anyway."

"Yeah." Bian Huawei nodded. Just as he was about to take out a cigarette, he caught a glimpse of the "Sanwu" cigarettes handed to him by Jiang Xian, and put his box of "Da Qianmen" back.

"Da Qianmen" is also good, and Class A cigarettes are supplied with tickets, but compared with "Sanwupai", it seems much cheaper.

Bian Huawei ordered it and took a sip, and immediately felt that the taste was very different from Daqianmen.

"Your article 'Huo Yuanjia' has been serialized since issue 11 of 'Story Club' and the readers have responded very enthusiastically. The sales of last year's November and December issues, as well as this year's January and February issues, have been extremely hot and every issue is in short supply."

The monthly sales of Story Club is stable at 20 copies. Since the serialization of Huo Yuanjia began, the sales of each issue have exceeded 30, even approaching 40. For a small magazine like Story Club, this is simply incredible.

It can be said that the work "Huo Yuanjia" boosted the sales of the entire "Story Club".

"I heard that you, brother-in-law, have made progress again?" Jiang Xian asked.

"Haha, I'll treat you to dinner later." Bian Huawei said with a smile.

He also sighed. Ever since he got in touch with his brother-in-law last year, his life, which had been full of lows and setbacks, suddenly changed its course and became an uphill slope.

How can this be his brother-in-law?
This is his benefactor!
"Then call Teacher Chen Qi along, and we can have a drink together."

"Cough cough."

Jiang Xian was choked by the smoke twice and said vaguely: "He is busy, he went to another place to film a movie." Back in the house, the two nephews were watching TV and picking hawthorns from the mixed dish.

Bian Huawei glanced at the contents of the mixed dish.

"Oh, there are also some mixed dishes here!"

"Zabanr" is a kind of "fruit box" used to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year. There are two types of "Zabanr" in the capital.

Mixed vegetables, peanuts, melon seeds, hazelnuts, dried persimmons, dates, and fried broad beans.

There are many details to consider when making a mixed dish. There are apple preserves, apricot preserves, peach preserves, crab apple preserves, candied golden dates, melon strips, and sugared lotus root. If you like more variety, you can also add green plums and hawthorns.

Bian Huawei was extremely surprised. His father-in-law's family now exuded wealth everywhere, which was very different from the tight-fisted appearance before.

Dinner was served soon, and the whole family gathered around the eight-immortal table. Jiang Xian made his two nephews run around the house for fun.

Jiang Qin waved at him, "Second brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

Everyone in the room immediately looked towards him.

Before this, Rao Yuemei, Jiang Guoqing and Jiang Ke only vaguely knew that Jiang Xian had a girlfriend, but they had never heard him tell them the specific details.

"I'm dating a girl." Jiang Xian admitted frankly.

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from the capital."

"What work?"

"Movie actor."

"."

Jiang Qin was surprised. "A movie actress? She must be pretty. What movies has she acted in? Maybe I've seen them."

"She has only been in this industry for a short time, and her movies haven't been released yet." Jiang Xian explained, "Mom and Dad, you actually know her."

After Jiang Xian said this, Jiang Guoqing and Rao Yuemei understood most of it. Or rather, they had already guessed in that direction, but it was only now that it was finally confirmed.

"As long as you two have a good relationship, your father and I will not object," said Rao Yuemei.

"I heard that. What's the matter? Are you still not satisfied with her?"

"I didn't. You're just making wild guesses. Your father and I both like Zhu Lin."

The next day.

The family went up to Jingshan East again and took a walk in the large courtyard of the second building.

There was a large courtyard with two entrances. Eight people were standing in the courtyard, and they all looked a little cold and lonely.

The look in Jiang Qin's eyes at this moment could no longer be described as shock.

"It's such a big yard, but there's not a single tenant, and it's right next to the Forbidden City."

"Is the property right clear?" Bian Huawei asked him, "I've seen a few cases where disputes arose because the property right was not clear."

"Clear, all the necessary procedures have been completed."

Jiang Qin stood under the big locust tree.

"How much does it cost?"

Rao Yuemei said, "Originally, the family wanted 15,000 yuan, but Jiang Xian finally got him 10,000 yuan. The family owner weighed the pros and cons himself and finally agreed."

Hiss!
Upon hearing this sky-high price, Bian Huawei took a deep breath.

He had already overestimated Jiang Xian.

I didn’t expect it was still underestimated!
