Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 93
When I go home on weekdays, I can only stay at home for one night, and I have to take the train back to Bencheng on Sunday afternoon, so as not to delay the next day's class.

Liu Xiaonan followed the fourth brother to pull the soil all morning. When the work was off at noon, the fourth brother sent him a dozen river crabs. These were caught by the fourth brother last night in the crab cage he gave.Liu Xiaonan didn't want it, let the fourth brother sell it for money.The fourth brother said it was not for him, and asked him to take it back and give it to Gu Yu.

The fourth brother also knew that Gu Yu liked to eat river crabs, and Liu Xiaonan was crying.He naturally knew the sincere intentions of the fourth brother, so he accepted the river crab from the fourth brother and asked his mother to steam them all, and his family ate them at noon.

Jiang Changling held the rice bowl, looked at her son and said, "Xiaonan, tell mom the truth. You haven't mentioned Gu Yu or the two of you for a long time. Are you two breaking up?"

Liu Xiaonan gnawed at the crab and said, "Mom, it's not that we broke up, it's that our two families are not suitable."

Jiang Changling sighed: "Silly son, you don't have to say good things for Gu Yu, Mom understands it. Since ancient times, she has always paid attention to being well-matched. Her family's threshold is high, and we can't climb high. Say something you don't like to hear, you shouldn't have done it back then." Talk to Gu Yu about someone, and Gu Yu shouldn't play tricks on you."

Regarding the relationship with Gu Yu, Liu Xiaonan didn't want to listen to her mother's nagging: "Mom, this matter is completely my fault, I can't blame Gu Yu, it's over, don't bring it up again."

Jiang Changling obeyed her son: "Okay, Mom will never mention Gu Yu again. However, Mom has found a suitable one for you."

"It's Meng Xiangxiang, right?" Liu Xiaonan interrupted her mother.

The parents pointed at one person at the same time, could it be that they wanted to find a substitute for Guan Xiaoyun?Parents all over the world love to interfere in their children's marriage affairs, there are few exceptions on this point, but it allows him to understand what Gu Yu's parents are doing.

But how many parents in the world can truly understand the inner world of their children?

Liu Xiaonan said to her mother: "Meng Xiangxiang is diligent, capable, sensible and obedient, isn't she? You recognize her as a daughter-in-law just to be your daughter-in-law in the future?"

Jiang Changling smiled at her son and said, "That's not true. Thinking about it, that child is really attractive and painful."

"Mom, if you really think that way, the matter of me bringing Meng Xiangxiang back to Liuzi Street will change completely. She's just an ordinary classmate of mine, and it's fine to be your daughter-in-law. Don't think too much about other things." many."

Liu Xiaonan and her mother clearly stated their attitude.In order to dispel the thoughts of his parents and prevent the villagers from guessing wildly, it is really necessary to bring Meng Xiangxiang back frequently in the future, so that everyone can see clearly the real existence of Meng Xiangxiang.

Sitting on the train back to Bincheng, Liu Xiaonan was thinking about another thing.It is not surprising that Yue Xuelian saw that she was broken in love through "Love on an Lonely Island".With her young age and simple experience, Meng Xiangxiang saw the sadness in her heart?

Could it be that she really understands her own sadness?
After getting off the train and returning to the dormitory of the textile factory, Liu Xiaonan saw Meng Xiangxiang standing in front of the dormitory gate.Meng Xiangxiang came to learn sewing from Guan Xiaoyun. After Guan Xiaoyun left for middle shift, she came to return the bicycle and waited for Liu Xiaonan the whole time.Liu Xiaonan asked her to finish the meal with her, but she declined.

Liu Xiaonan said to Meng Xiangxiang: "I asked you to go home with me, but you refused. Your aunt kept saying that you missed you, and she must go back with me next time. Don't worry about it all the time."

"I don't have any worries." Meng Xiangxiang said relaxedly, "Please explain to my aunt for me that learning to sew and ride a bicycle is in high spirits, and I will visit my aunt later."

Liu Xiaonan said: "You go back to school by bicycle, and return it to me when you are proficient in riding. I will take the bus to and from school."

"How can I win someone's love?" Meng Xiangxiang returned the bicycle key to Liu Xiaonan, waved his hand, turned and ran away.

Looking at Meng Xiangxiang's jumping and cheerful back, Liu Xiaonan sighed softly.

The canteen of the textile factory opened breakfast earlier than the school canteen. Liu Xiaonan ate breakfast in the canteen of the textile factory every day, and then came to school early for morning reading.As soon as I entered the school today, I ran into Yue Xuelian, and walked in with her pushing a bicycle.

Yue Xuelian asked: "I went back home, what have you learned?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "After working for a day, what can I learn? However, the fourth brother taught me another trick. If that scum still has bad ideas for you, I can try it again on him."

"What is wrong with your fourth brother who taught you how to fight? Did you forget the lesson from last time? If you don't repent, I will punish you, or let your old Yue teacher take care of you."

"The fourth brother is a simple and honest person. He was the one who rescued me from the river. He really didn't teach me to fight. He also taught me a lesson, saying that I am a fool and I have to beat people? Stand up and fight. He fell down, stood up and knocked him down, so that he could never stand up, this is not a fight, let's see if he dares to do whatever he wants in the future."

"Hearing what you said, I would like to meet this fourth brother if I have the chance."

"The fourth brother is an unfortunate person. He has an extremely short-lived relationship buried in his heart. Few people know about it, and no one takes it seriously."

"I have to thank your fourth brother, otherwise, I'm really afraid that you will continue to cause trouble and ruin your future."

The fourth brother became a common topic, Liu Xiaonan felt a little strange, how could Yue Xuelian be interested in the fourth brother?They broke up in front of the teaching building, one went to the classroom and the other to the office.

In the self-study class in the afternoon, the students were immersed in their books, and Yue Xuelian walked in with a smile on her face.The students raised their heads in surprise. Teacher Yue has always been known for being strict and unsmiling. What kind of joy is there today.

But she saw Yue Xuelian walked straight in front of Liu Xiaonan, touched his arm lightly, and pointed outside the classroom: "Someone is looking for you."

Liu Xiaonan followed Yue Xuelian out of the classroom.There was a young, beautiful, and fashionable girl standing in the corridor. Yue Xuelian introduced to her, "He is Liu Xiaonan, the author of "Father's Land, Mother's River"."

Before Liu Xiaonan could react, the girl had already embraced his shoulders with both arms, and the elegant fragrance rushed to his face, smiling like a flower in amazement: "So young, so handsome, so talented, I really can't think of it!"

Liu Xiaonan was a little dazed, she opened her arms reflexively, neither did she let go, nor did she hold her.His heart beat faster and his face flushed, he stared blankly at Yue Xuelian who had a complicated expression opposite him.He secretly waved his hands towards Yue Xuelian, meaning that I don't know her, and I don't want to hug her.

After listening to the other party's self-introduction, Liu Xiaonan knew that she was a student of the Film Academy, and was selected by the director to play a role in the filming "Congjun Ji", which was her debut film.

"Jingjun Ji" has been filmed and is in post-production.This time, the provincial film studio wanted to adapt his novella "Father's Land, Mother's River" to the screen. She came with the director and producer, hoping to play a role again.

Liu Xiaonan looked at Yue Xuelian suspiciously, Yue Xuelian smiled and nodded, proving that what the actress said was true.Lost in the east and harvested in Sangyu, when the loss of love is extremely painful, the dream strikes again, which shows that God treats people well.

When the blood was rushing to the brain, the actress held Liu Xiaonan's hand, pleading in the voice of Yingyan: "Writer Liu, I starred as your aunt in "Congjun Ji", see if I can play you again mother?"

Liu Xiaonan's brain was already in an unbalanced state, and she echoed without thinking: "Yes, of course. But, I'm not a writer yet, please don't call me that."

Many onlookers gathered around, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, the actress embraced Liu Xiaonan warmly again: "That would be even more remarkable."

Yue Xuelian said calmly from the side: "Liu Xiaonan, the director, producer and Mr. Zhao are waiting for you in the meeting room, hurry over."

Yue Xuelian led the way, the actress held Liu Xiaonan's arm, and walked behind with laughter, the intimacy seemed like a couple in love.Yue Xuelian turned her head back from time to time, bored dissatisfaction and sarcasm projected in her cold eyes.

Liu Xiaonan felt that half of her body was almost numb, her face was burning hot, and her legs were so light that they didn't look like her own.A young heart is not enough to resist everything, he has never seen such a world.He wanted to keep a certain distance from the actress, and felt so honored that he couldn't bear to refuse.

After meeting the director, producer and Mr. Zhao, especially Mr. Zhao's calm words and eyes, Liu Xiaonan gradually calmed down.The school leaders and media reporters are all present, so I can't get carried away and complacent.

The director is a well-known veteran actor in the provincial film studio, who has starred in and directed many rural-themed films. He first asked Liu Xiaonan about the original intention of writing this novel.Liu Xiaonan said frankly that in order to repair the wounds in the hearts of her parents.

The director asked for Liu Xiaonan's personal opinion on whether to rewrite the script by himself, sell the adaptation rights, or co-create the script.

Liu Xiaonan thought for a while, and when his gaze met Yue Xuelian's expectant gaze, he had already made up his mind.He explained to the director that this novel is about his parents, and it incorporates his feelings for them and his hometown. He hopes to complete the script creation by himself.

The director expressed his understanding and agreed to his request. The producer asked him how long it would take him to come up with the script, but it couldn't be too long.

Liu Xiaonan set a deadline for herself, one month, one month, if she can't write the script, she is willing to voluntarily give up the right to adapt it.

One month is the longest period he can bear, and it is impossible to delay it for too long. He is still a student at school, so it cannot affect his studies.He also has this confidence and self-confidence. When adapting "Congjun Ji", he accumulated a certain amount of creative experience and initially mastered the script creation techniques.

Another source of confidence comes from Yue Xuelian.When writing this novel, Yue Xuelian participated in the whole process, provided a lot of fresh materials, put forward many subversive opinions, and brought a new perspective and changes to his writing.

He hopes to join hands with Yue Xuelian again to bring the life stories of his father's generation to the screen.Although there was no prior agreement with Yue Xuelian, he believed that Yue Xuelian would definitely not refuse.

After the agreement was successfully reached, the municipal TV station made a special interview on the spot.The director, producer and teacher Zhao Guangzhi analyzed and commented on the novel "Father's Land, Mother's River" from different angles, affirming the nostalgia and conflicts between father and son for the land in the novel.

Mr. Zhao Guangzhi introduced Liu Xiaonan's whole process of writing this novel in detail from an editor's point of view, and praised Liu Xiaonan's love and devotion to literature, as well as his obvious progress in the past few years.

When the camera was aimed at Liu Xiaonan, he was a little nervous.He has many people to thank, including grandma, Mr. Guan, teacher Cheng Yi, teacher Yue Zifan, teachers in the editorial department, leaders of the textile factory, and even his uncle, the fourth brother, to name a few.All have had different important and profound influences on him at various stages of his life.

There are two people he wants to thank most.One is the little girl who gave him his literary dream. He didn't mention Gu Yu's name, and in his eloquent and emotional narration, he made no effort to hide his spiritual track and voice.

He hopes that Gu Yu can hear his heart, and that Gu Yu's parents can see his success and sincerity.He secretly hoped that everything could start all over again.

The second is to thank Mr. Zhao Guangzhi. Without Mr. Zhao's guidance and support, it would be difficult for him to get to where he is today.He was not afraid of making a fool of himself, and told about his first submission, the jokes he made when he copied on lined letter paper, and about Mr. Zhao's rejection letter and the literary books and periodicals sent to him with the letter.

That was his first step towards literature, and Mr. Zhao was his literary guide.

When a TV reporter asked if she had a double harvest in her love and career, Liu Xiaonan simply said that she had loved deeply.

Sending off the director, producer and Teacher Zhao and his group, Liu Xiaonan and Yue Xuelian stood side by side at the school gate, letting the cold wind blow on their faces to calm down their excited and joyful mood.

Yue Xuelian sniffed her nose, frowned and said, "Hurry up and take a bath, you have some strange smells all over your body."

It was the scent of the actress's perfume on him. When we parted, she hugged him again like no one else.Liu Xiaonan exaggeratedly sniffed it to herself, and laughed playfully: "I can't wash it, I save it to brag to my classmates and brothers and sisters in the textile factory, after all, I hugged a female star."

Yue Xuelian turned around and walked towards the school, Liu Xiaonan caught up and said, "How dare I disobey Teacher Xiaoyue, just wash it, and take off the clothes inside and out and wash them once."

Yue Xuelian stopped, turned around and asked Liu Xiaonan, "Are you very proud?"

"A little bit." Liu Xiaonan replied truthfully: "I don't want to pretend, anyone would be complacent with such a success, so I have to ask Teacher Xiaoyue to ring the alarm bell for me from time to time, so that I can keep a calm mind at all times."

"Well, let me ask you, can you complete the script creation on schedule in one month?"

"On my own, of course it is quite difficult. I would like to invite you to participate, just like when writing this novel, we will complete it together. I hope you will not refuse, and you should not refuse, after all, there are also contributions from your father's generation. figure."

"I believe in your ability, and I still focus on you. I can't steal your hard work. I can't leave the school's teaching affairs behind. I can only help you with some auxiliary writing work in my spare time."

"There's one more problem. There's a lot of classes missing in a month and I'm worried the final exams will be affected."

"It's no problem. I can spare time to make up lessons for you later. I have learned the basics quite solidly." Yue Xuelian finally smiled: "It's not easy, brother! You haven't been dazzled by the fragrance of female stars yet." , I have not forgotten that I am a student."

Liu Xiaonan looked forward to: "If this work can be completed, it will also be a kind of spiritual comfort to our fathers."

Yue Xuelian stretched out her hand: "Brother, congratulations!"
