Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 67 The First Dream

As the Spring Festival of [-] approached, Gu Yu bought a lot of gifts and sent them to Liu Xiaonan's dormitory.During the Spring Festival, she had a lot of things to do and was very busy, so she couldn't go back to the countryside with him.

Liu Xiaonan blushed, and said frankly to Gu Yu: "You have always paid for me, and I have done nothing for you. It's Chinese New Year, and I should have bought you some gifts, but right now I don't have the ability to take care of both. I saved 3000 yuan, and I can build three ordinary houses in the countryside. I want to give this money to my uncle, let him build a new house, and fulfill my wish. "

"Your continuous improvement is the greatest reward for me." Gu Yu hugged Liu Xiaonan lovingly, "You don't have to worry about these mundane things with me. If you can fulfill your promise when you were young, you will definitely not let me down in the future."

When returning home during the Spring Festival, Liu Xiaonan first told her parents what she thought, and asked for their understanding and consent.His uncle's situation has always been a concern in his heart, and he wants to help him get out of the predicament.

Jiang Changling was very reluctant. The money her son had saved was not a small sum in the countryside, so how could she give it all away?My family still lives in an old house, and I will marry a daughter-in-law in the future. It is right to help my uncle, which is too much.

What Liu Zhixin saw was his son growing up, his son behaved out of the ordinary, and he was exactly like his mother.This is what people often say about the image of the next generation. The son not only got the true biography of Mr. Guan, but his acting style was influenced by his grandmother, and the perfect fusion of the two is really rare.

Liu Zhixin has worked as a miner for 30 years, and she is about to retire in less than two years.I have seen everything through, and I am lucky to be able to get out of the mine fully. There is nothing more moving and exciting.

However, the letters from his son reporting the good news brought him too many surprises and made him see the hope of life when he was about to retire.His son is far ahead of him, and he is realizing the dream he once had but never expected, and he is very gratified and proud.

Therefore, Liu Zhixin persuaded Jiang Changling to take a long-term view, and having such a son is the greatest wealth.

With her father's support, Liu Xiaonan walked into her uncle's house after dinner.Liu Zhitai's family of four had just finished eating, and Liu Erya was clearing the table. Seeing Liu Xiaonan coming in, Liu Erya's daughter immediately hid in the back room.

Liu Xiaonan smiled and called out to her sister who had no blood relationship with her: "What are you afraid of me doing? Your future sister-in-law bought you new clothes, come out and try them on."

Liu Erya's daughter came out now, happily trying on the new clothes Gu Yu bought.

Liu Xiaonan teased her younger brother Liu Yunpeng who had just entered primary school for a while, and when Liu Erya finished cleaning up the housework and sat on the kang, she returned to the topic, took out 3000 yuan and said, "Uncle and aunt, the 3000 yuan is earned by myself." , build a new house for you. You have formed a special family, and you can’t make people laugh.”

Tears swirled in the circles of her eyes, and Liu Erya just wiped them away.Liu Zhitai resolutely refused: "An uncle failed to help his nephew, but asked his nephew to pay for the house. There is no such reason in the world."

Liu Xiaonan said: "This is my wish for many years, and I also want you to stay away from my dad. My dad's ideas are old and rigid. You listen to him and follow in his footsteps in everything. You can't get out of that little boy. circle."

Liu Zhitai looked at Liu Xiaonan with deep surprise: "How can you say that about your dad? I was brought up by your dad, who else would I listen to if I didn't listen to him? I've developed a habit over the years."

My father's influence on my uncle was too deep. Liu Xiaonan said: "Uncle, it is precisely because of this that I advise you to live the life you want to live. Recently, I often go out to meetings and meet people who are at the forefront of the times. I am very touched. Our thinking is too conservative. I thought of something, which is very suitable for you. Learn a driver’s license during the slack. In the future, agricultural vehicles will replace ox carts and horse-drawn carts. Big profits."

Liu Erya said to Liu Zhitai: "Back then you listened to Xiaonan and waited for me to return. Let's listen to him this time."

Liu Zhitai said: "I feel uneasy about spending my nephew's money."

"We borrowed Xiaonan." Liu Erya discussed with Liu Xiaonan: "There are a few houses for sale in the village by the road, how about buying them and opening a small shop? I thought about it a long time ago, but I just don't have the money Can't do anything big."

Liu Xiaonan said: "Don't worry about it, just do it when you think about it. If you don't do it, you will never know what to do, and you will never be successful."

"I still listen to my nephew." Liu Zhitai made the final decision and planned for the future: "I will go to Guan Deyu tomorrow and buy those few rooms. The land still needs to be planted, and it will not be called if it is not planted." Farmers, they just have to sell the two cows, and raising cattle involves energy. Open a small shop and buy a farm vehicle in the future. I don’t believe it will be a bad life.”

Liu Xiaonan successfully persuaded his uncle to escape from his father's control, just like his father escaped from Liuzi Street back then, just as he pursued his dreams and escaped from the countryside like his father.

Liu Zhitai bought those few houses in the village, and will move out of this old house after the Spring Festival to start a new life.Liu Xiaonan brought the books that Gu Yu left to him back to his small room and gave them the safest arrangement.

These books came from the city to the countryside, accompanying the growth of the two teenagers.Now I am back in the city again, witnessing the love of two young people, witnessing their steps of pursuing their dreams and pursuing love.

Have the courage to pursue and never give up, dreams will always come inadvertently.

Not long after the Spring Festival, Liu Xiaonan was writing a news report in the office. Gu Yu came over and asked him to answer the phone. It was Zhao Guangzhi who called.

Telephones have not yet been popularized. Only the offices of supervisors are equipped with large telephones, and the offices of other staff are only equipped with small telephones that are switched through the host switchboard.

For the convenience of contact, Liu Xiaonan left Gu Yu's office phone number on the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

Under Gu Yu's gaze, Liu Xiaonan answered the phone call from Zhao Guangzhi, her eyes gradually widened, her face gradually turned red, and her reply was very brief, only a series of uninterrupted interjections: Ah!Yeah?Good, good. Incoherent.

Gu Yu observed the drastic change in Liu Xiaonan's expression, and had a premonition that this was another good news.The stinky boy always makes people dumbfounded when people turn a blind eye to him.

He quickly adapted to the work in the office, because he had no ambition and did not deliberately express himself, but became the most popular person.

Those little girls and boys kept teasing and testing him, and he winked at the little girls and called the boys brothers like a fool.The carelessness and eclecticism made them have nowhere to start.

When you are elegant, you can chew your words, which can make people lose their teeth; when they are vulgar, they speak rural dialects and colloquial language, and they are calm and self-deprecating amidst the ridicule of others.

It is difficult for others to regard such a person as a competitor.I'm afraid he still thinks this way. A farmer who works as a rotation worker can get to where he is today, and he is already very content.

The daily work is impeccable, and all important tasks can be afforded and let go.Gradually, Gu Yu felt at ease, no matter if he had a true temperament or a foolish mind, he was a talent that could be created.

The only tangled thing is, those little girls won't come to the real thing, right?
Liu Xiaonan put down the phone, stared at Gu Yu with wide eyes, as if she wanted to see something tricky on her face.Gu Yu was about to ask about the content of the phone call when Liu Xiaonan suddenly picked her up and swung her around in circles, completely ignoring that she was in the office.

"You're crazy!" Gu Yu reminded in a low voice while struggling, "If you have something to say, please let me go."

"I'm crazy, really crazy!" Liu Xiaonan put down Gu Yu, pressed her on the office chair, and spoke very fast: "It doesn't matter if I'm crazy, don't be crazy. Listen carefully, Teacher Zhao said, a director is coming I want to make "Congjun Ji" into a movie, and let me go to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles to meet with the director and discuss related matters. My first dream is about to come true."

"Really?!" Gu Yu jumped up with a scream, and hugged Liu Xiaonan tightly with both arms, jumping up and down with excitement, saying repeatedly: "You succeeded, you succeeded!"

"Successful!" Liu Xiaonan was dizzy and tried her best to calm herself down, but she couldn't.He patted Gu Yu's face lightly, and grinned stupidly: "I'm unconscious, my head is empty, my heart is beating hard, you accompany me to the Literary Federation."

"I'll go with you." Gu Yu also slapped Liu Xiaonan's face with crackling noises, his young heart was full of enthusiasm and joy, and he didn't know how to express his sudden sense of happiness: "Stinky boy, brat who drills the cow's butt, You drove me crazy too."

"Calm down, calm down." Liu Xiaonan murmured, clenched his fists and spun around, walked to the washbasin in the corner of the room to wash his face.After washing a few times, I simply soaked my face in the water, trying to cool down my scalding blood with cold water.

"I'll wash it too." Gu Yu squeezed over and pulled Liu Xiaonan's head out of the basin.

The laughter of the two attracted many onlookers in the office, it's over!His usually upright and rigorous image was shattered to the ground, and he couldn't pick it up.Whatever it is, happiness gushes out like a spring, and nothing can stop it.

After calming down, Gu Yu asked for leave with her supervisor, and walked out of the office building arm in arm with Liu Xiaonan under the watchful eyes of everyone, and walked out of the gate of the textile factory.The youthful and beating back shows vitality and passion, which is enviable and impressive.

In a small conference room of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Liu Xiaonan had a private meeting with the middle-aged director.

The director is famous for his military-themed films. With the recommendation of friends in the industry, he finished the novella "Jingjun Ji" in one sitting.After reading it, I was very excited, thinking that I had found a new mode to reflect the war, and that it would be a new breakthrough in war-themed films, so I found the author through the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

The talks were relaxed and enjoyable.The director had no airs, and humbly asked about the writing process and source of material for "Jingjun Ji".

Liu Xiaonan had already calmed down in front of the director he admired, and told in detail the story of his uncle and aunt, as well as his own thinking when writing.

The director asked Liu Xiaonan if he could finish the script alone.Liu Xiaonan said frankly that he just graduated from high school and had no exposure to film art, but he hopes to have a chance to learn film script writing.

The director agreed to Liu Xiaonan's request.He has been to the countryside, and he understands the difficulty of rural youth's struggle, so he decided to write the script together. Some details of the story also need to be controlled by the original author with his first feeling.

After the talks, under the auspices of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, a small press conference was held, and all the reporters from the city's TV stations and radio stations were present.

Liu Xiaonan stayed and lived in the hotel with the director, and worked together to complete the creation of the script. After giving Gu Yu some instructions, he left alone and returned to the factory to report the specific situation to the leader.

As a witness and witness of the whole incident, Gu Yu always restrained his excitement and returned to his parents' home directly after get off work.She knew that her parents had a habit of watching the news broadcast every night, from the central station to the local station, in order.

No matter how restrained he is, excitement still shows up from time to time.The mother saw it, and asked Gu Yu: "What big thing did that kid from the countryside do again? See how happy you are."

Gu Yu took the opportunity to act coquettishly with her mother, put her arms around her neck and said, "Mom, do you want to see what Liu Xiaonan looks like now?"

The mother insisted on the principle: "When he meets the conditions I said, you can bring him home, and I will see him."

"You'll see him." Gu Yu changed the direction of attack and said to his father, "Dad, it's already amazing that my rural kid can achieve what he is today, don't you think?"

Father nodded and said, "It's really rare. But, have you thought about him? If he doesn't have the qualifications your mother mentioned, you'll make a relationship with him rashly, and bring him home rashly." , any person with self-respect will find it difficult to accept the huge contrast."

Gu Yu said angrily: "Just wait and see, sooner or later he will impress you all."

She has received definite news that the press conference for the adaptation of the novel will be broadcast on Tonight's TV news in Bencheng.

The city news was being broadcast on TV, and the headline was that Gu Yu's father led the government staff to participate in tree planting activities on Arbor Day.The small tree was planted ahead of time, and Gu Yu's father shoveled a few shovels of soil, poured a small plastic bucket of water, and said a few words.

It lasted nearly ten minutes, and Gu Yu waited impatiently.

Then there was a cultural update, Zhao Guangzhi, the director, and Liu Xiaonan appeared on the TV screen together with a commentary, which lasted less than three to five minutes.

Gu Yu pointed at the TV screen and excitedly yelled to his parents: "Look, look, he is the little boy from the opposite door when our family was sent down."

The mother said lightly: "It's not bad, but the demeanor is much worse, and it still looks like a rural person."

Father nodded and said, "If you give him a chance, can he take it?"

Gu Yu vowed: "He will definitely be able to grasp it."
