Perfect Life

Sunday, morning, Jinan House.

Li Ma came back from shopping, greeted people downstairs and went upstairs, opened the door, and habitually shouted, "I'm back!"

No movement.

Li Ma didn't care at first. She changed her slippers and put down the dishes. Feeling a little wrong, she went over carefully and pushed open the door of the study.

As soon as the door opened, good guy, a choking smell of cigarette smoke came out.

In the misty haze, Dad Li was facing the manuscript, one finger on each of his left and right hands, typing on the computer keyboard.

Li Ma fanned, "What are you doing, oh my God, it's like following the clouds!"

Dad Li turned his head and looked excited, "Don't worry, don't worry, it'll be all right now, you wait for a while, there's still two lines left, five minutes will be fine!"

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

Not to mention, a gust of wind came, and suddenly the smoke was blown away by more than half.

About ten minutes later, Li Ma heard the printer in the study starting to call Li Qian to buy it. Dad Li was very proud of this. Whenever he wrote something, he had to print it out by himself.

Not long after, Dad Li's manuscript was printed, and he ran out excitedly~ Before taking off his glasses, he shoved the manuscript in front of Li's mother, "Look, you help guard."

"Written for my son?"

"Ah! Hey, I don't think I wrote it for my son. It's not like that. The old grandson of Quancheng Daily is always urging, asking for manuscripts, saying that as soon as my previous essays were published, alas, readers responded or something. , are all very good! Isn't that right, I'll just write something, advertise for my son, and preach."

Li Ma took it and read the title, "The Legend of the White Snake".

Don't think that you are not good at dancing and writing, but in the past few years, the environment and atmosphere inside and outside the home have changed greatly. Li Ma is now very researching on this. In the words of Li's father, if this manuscript does not After being judged by Li Ma, she didn't dare to post it, afraid that she would be embarrassed to just read the title, Li Ma said directly: "You can't do this! If I guess correctly, you must tell the story of the TV series from beginning to end. Did you go over the history again?"

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

Li Ma frowned at that time, "What's the matter, what is advertising? That is to say, my medicine is going to cure my illness. I said that I put on deodorant on my shoes. That's called advertising. How can you advertise a TV series? , you have to say how good the TV series are, you..."

Dad Li blinked, took off his glasses, sat down beside Mom Li, and said, "You think I don't want to write about that, that's right, I don't know how to film or anything, and I haven't written it. Film review, I'm afraid I can't write well in such a hurry! So I thought about it, I'm just writing a manuscript, I'll talk about this first! I'm learning to write a film review recently, so I'll send this first, this It's called Zhang Mu, do you understand? Gangju is Mu Zhang! In the next article, I'll write a review article on the TV series, hey, this is called the same line, and there is a pavement."

Li Ma glanced at him, too lazy to say anything to Lao Wenqing, and began to show him the manuscript.

Dad Li sat anxiously beside him, waiting for the evaluation.

Just at this moment, Dad Li's cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out to take a look, and quickly said to Ma Li, "Look, look, old grandson! If you say this, it's probably another reminder! Sigh..." time, answered the phone.

Li Ma turned her head and glanced at him, and could feel his complacent and comfortable energy. To be honest, she wanted to roll her eyes at him and hit him, and she really felt happy for him.

Although he has been busy writing a manuscript for many days, the manuscript fee is only a few dozen yuan, and it is less than a hundred dollars, but who makes him love this, what can be done?

"Hey, grandson."

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

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

"Brother Li, that's what's going on, isn't it? Our general manager, Mr. Zhu, specially asked me to call you and ask if you are at home. This, our general manager Zhu, is still Zhao Tai of our Shandong Satellite TV station. Chang, I have admired your brother for a long time, this, if it is convenient, President Zhu and Director Zhao, want to visit your home, you see..."

"Uh... ah... oh, oh, don't dare to be... this... oh, convenient, convenient and convenient! What's the inconvenience of that, that is... Mr. Zhu? Why are you still on TV?"

Li Ma stopped long ago and turned to look at Li Dad.

The old couple exchanged glances, both confused.

"Yeah, it's the deputy director of our satellite TV station, director Zhao! Hey, it's actually nothing, it's just pure, I'll visit you in the past, isn't it? You are also a celebrity in the cultural circle of Jinan Prefecture. Well! Director Zhao and President Zhu have all admired you for a long time, so, look..."

"Oh, oh... oh, of course you're welcome, uh, that's... oops, I live here, you know that you've been here, this, I'm afraid it's not good to entertain such a distinguished guest! Uh, um, okay Okay, then you come here, then I will wait for you at home, hey, hey, okay, okay, goodbye!"

Hanging up the phone, the couple stared at each other.

"The deputy director of the TV station? 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! You say, how did they..."

Li Ma frowned, vaguely, and could guess something, and said, "It's not related to Xiaoqian, right?"

Dad Li also frowned, "Ordinarily it can only be because of him, you can just see the two of us, why would people take the initiative to visit us, a poor teacher, plus a small accountant... Maybe!"

But here, he looked at his phone and couldn't help but said, "But the problem is, when Xiaoqian became popular earlier, they wanted to interview or something, we've already said it, what Xiaoqian said will never be accepted. Any interviews, have you forgotten?"

Li Ma said: "How can I forget it! It is said that once I accept the interview, I will not be quiet. I know that my son is good for us! But why..."

Dad Li thought for a while, then picked up the phone, "I have to call Xiaoqian first, don't worry if something happens, but I don't dare to make a mistake between us and ruin my son!"

Li Ma nodded and said: "Then you fight... But, Xiaoqian and our satellite TV station, I haven't heard that there is anything to do with it. Is it possible that someone else's station director will come to our house in person?"

As much as Li Ma was talking about, the phone had already gotten through.

But there was no answer for a long time, and Dad Li got used to it. Knowing that Li Qian was busy with other things and left his mobile phone with the assistant, he waited patiently. Sure enough, after about half a minute, the call was connected.

Li Qian gasped, "Dad, is something wrong?"

Dad Li frowned, and seeing Li's mother coming over, he simply pressed the speakerphone button and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you breathing so hard?"

Li Qian said: "I'm learning to dance, hip-hop! Oh my God! I don't know if I don't learn it, and I'm startled when I learn it, it's very turbulent!"

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

"Well, I'll be useful in the future! Dad, there must be something wrong with you calling, let's talk."

"Well... just now, a friend of mine, from a newspaper office, called and said that the general manager of their newspaper office, surnamed Zhu, and a deputy director of our Shandong Satellite TV station, surnamed Zhao, said he wanted to come and visit! You Say, my mother and I don't have anything worth visiting, we just thought about it, maybe it's coming for you?"

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

Dad Li continued: "I'm calling you this phone to ask you if something has happened recently, otherwise, there is no reason for the director of a TV station to come to our house to visit me. With your mother, right? If there is anything wrong with this, if there is anything that needs attention , affect you!"

On the other end of the phone, Li Qian paused for a while before saying with a bit of laughter, "It's okay, Dad, they're going to see you, to visit you and your mother, it's to give you face, to give you face, and to give me face. Although I don't live at home now, it's not a bad thing that you have been there for many years. It's not a bad thing to know more people and network. When they come, don't worry too much. Serious things, I It is estimated that they will not mention it at all. At most, they are chatting with you and pulling relationships. Even if they mention it, it is estimated that it will stop after a little bit! How about you, how to entertain, how to entertain, and what people say, you all agree to it Come down. Don't care what benefits he promises, you take all the bills, and they come to me if they have any requirements, and I will compensate them all. "

Li's father and Li's mother were a little stunned. They looked at each other, and Li's father said, "What if they want to find you, or Xiao Liao and you to be on the show or something? You don't even appear on the show, do you? ?"

This time, Li Qian really laughed when he heard the words, and then he said in a relaxed voice: "No, Dad, I guess nine out of ten, they came to my TV series. I guess they want to win the next one. Let’s get the quota for the second round! Then give it to them, anyway, the TV station in your hometown, people are going to visit you and my mother like this, this face, you have to give it no matter what!”

"Ah? TV show?"

The two were stunned again.

Dad Li was also worried that his son's TV series would not sell well and no one would watch it. He was 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 took the initiative to come over to visit his old couple. , is it to get around the corner to get the second round of broadcasting rights of his son's TV series?

After swallowing, Dad Li asked cautiously, "Xiaoqian, your TV series, now...what is that word called..."

"Ratings?"

"Yes, the ratings! How's the ratings? It seems... good?"

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'll watch it after the twenty episodes are over. Data, before that, I won't let her tell me! Because it's pointless! But... It's been six episodes, right? It's time for some movement!"

…………

After hanging up the phone, Li's father and Li's mother looked at each other in dismay.

After being stunned for a long time, Li Ma suddenly came back to her senses, "Aiya, this house is in a mess, I have to tidy up quickly, otherwise people will see it, it's not a joke!"

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

…………

Come on.

After half an hour of making the call, Lao Sun, the editor-in-chief of Quancheng Daily, came with someone.

The deputy director of the provincial station, Zhao, is slightly shorter and slightly fatter, and the general manager of the newspaper, Zhu, is tall and dignified. Moreover, people's appearance and posture, at first glance, they are powerful figures in their hands, and they all look like a shining hall and a red face.

But when I 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, shouting "Old Brother Li" one by one. To tell the truth, the official position and the power in his hands are much more than the principal of Dad Li's school!

The two of them came with the secretary and the driver. Of course, the secretary didn't enter the house, so he took the large and small bags of gifts up and withdrew them. Mama Li glanced at them secretly, as if they were all expensive things.

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

But Dad Li, a scholar, can't compare to the lip service of people who often deal with officials. After a few words, he was bitten to death for the first time. There is no reason to be empty-handed. He quickly said that Dad Li was speechless. .

Put the things down, Ma Li made tea, and everyone sat down and chatted for a while, what teaching work, what literature, what did I read a few of your articles, the writing was really good, and so on, in short, I guess People also pulled out all the bright spots that could be found in Dad Li, and everyone loved to hear good things.

However, the strange thing is that, regarding Li Qian, the most conspicuous shining point of Li's father and Li's mother, the other party didn't mention a word. That means it seems to be saying, I am really 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 a full six boxes of things.

Li's father and Li's mother were sent downstairs. Old Sun, a friend of Li's father from Quancheng Daily, took a few steps late, and deliberately waited for both cars to leave before turning his head and saying to Li's father, "Your family's Li Qian's TV series, "Legend of the New White Lady", it's on fire! Oh, it's just the sixth episode, and it ranks first in national ratings! Brother Li, did you see it, the deputy director of our provincial TV station has to come over to salute you! "

Dad Li looked a little helpless.

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

But there are some who are surprised, and some are confused and uneasy.

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 article. Is it big red? And even the deputy director of the provincial TV station has to rush to give him a gift?

To be honest, after a while, I came back to my senses.

But at this time, the old grandson was also expected to be ordered. At this time, he was naturally responsible for clarifying the words, so he handed a cigarette to Dad Li, and both of them lit the lighter in his hand, and then He said: "Old Brother Li, I'm just passing on a message for others! That's it, why don't you kiss the people in your hometown? Go back and call Li Qian. Why don't you give your family a lot of face? Director Zhao said. Now, how much should be paid, and what price other stations will pay, we have nothing to say on the provincial side. For the second-round broadcast rights of his TV series, we must leave a place for our provincial and Taiwan side!... That's all. I have to borrow your face!"

…………

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

When he left, Dad Li was left with a cigarette butt, but he sucked it desperately, smoking one after another.

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

"Ah? Oh..." Dad Li took another puff, threw the **** of his cigarette, and went upstairs side by side with Mama Li.

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

Your mother started to scrape and count the large boxes of gifts. In the past few years, Li's mother has been rich, and she has seen a lot of good things. Looking at it now, these boxes of things are not particularly expensive.

Everything is double, two boxes of small ground sesame oil, two boxes of Tieguanyin, two boxes of Zhengshan Souchong, two boxes of vacuum-packed donkey meat, two boxes of ginseng, and two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin Li Ma asked: "You said that ginseng is more expensive, or donkey-hide gelatin is more expensive?"

Dad Li was distracted, when he heard the words, he turned his head and glanced, and subconsciously said: "People of this level give gifts, the gifts are light and affectionate! Uh... tell me, I think tea may be more expensive! It's more expensive than ginseng Ejiao! "

Li Ma was surprised, she turned back and picked up a box of Zhengshan Xiaochong, looked at it repeatedly, and had a sense of joy in receiving a gift, and said, "I'll take it apart later, let's make a pot, you can taste it."

Dad Li smoked and puffed.

When he finished smoking a cigarette, he squeezed out the **** of the cigarette and sighed when he looked back to see that Li Ma was still looking at things happily.

Li Ma looked back at him, "Why are you sighing!"

Dad Li touched his brows, "In the past, Xiaoqian was popular enough, but we just think that we are more polite to people around us, and then, we are also richer, and our son can't do anything about it. Give a lot of money. In recent years, the money he gave is enough for us to buy three or five large villas in Jinan Prefecture. But this time..."

Having said this, he sighed again, slumped onto the sofa, and looked up at the ceiling leisurely.

Li Ma seemed to have come back to it at this time, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit, so she smiled and sat down beside Li's father, took his hand, patted it, and said with a smile, "You didn't talk about that often in the past two years. In other words, what's it called?"

Dad Li smiled, and in that smile, he couldn't tell how complicated it was.

Proud, proud, proud, gratified, but there are some indescribable relief.

Then, he said, "For the first thirty years, watch the father and respect the son, and for the next 30 years, watch the son and respect the father!"

Li Ma clapped his hand and said with a smile, "Yes! That's it!"
