1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 471 Son-in-law comes to the door
On the evening of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, it was already past five o'clock in the evening when the crew finished work. Tao Huimin went to drive, and He Saifei and Liu Xiaoqing also got into her car.

Tao Huimin and Lin Weimin are going back to Wenzhou by train tonight. Concubine He Saifei is also from Zhijiang, and her family is in Zhoushan, so she is on the same road as her. Liu Xiaoqing said in the afternoon that he would take a ride.

"Dream of Red Mansions" crew has hundreds of actors with names and surnames. The most famous one is Liu Xiaoqing. She is usually vigorous and resolute in the crew, and she has the air of a big sister.

But she has always been very polite to Tao Huimin in the crew. She is very clear about the relationship between Tao Huimin and Lin Weimin, and Liu Xiaoqing even visited her.

"Huimin, Teacher Lin is so kind to you!"

This is the first time for Liu Xiaoqing to take Tao Huimin's car. She usually drives her own Fiat. Today, the car broke down and she left her at home. The crew who came by taxi were almost late.

In the era when the per capita bicycle, even one motorcycle, was already far above the average line, and a Fiat was an existence that countless people looked up to.

But when compared with Tao Huimin's Crown, my Fiat is nothing.

"This car was eliminated by him for me to drive." Tao Huimin explained.

Liu Xiaoqing said with a smile, "This car is only a few years old."

Tao Huimin smiled, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoqing changed the topic. "Dream of Red Mansions" has been filming for a year and a half. Except for the heroine Tao Huimin who is going to be filmed to the end, many actors have already finished filming halfway through.

Liu Xiaoqing is playing Wang Xifeng, and the role will almost come to an end in May next year.

And Concubine He Sai is playing Miao Yu, so she has fewer roles, and it will be over if she comes to the crew for half a month after the Chinese New Year.

"Time flies so fast, the movie has been filmed for almost two years." Liu Xiaoqing sighed.

"That's right, next year will be the third year, and it's the first time a movie has been filmed for such a long time." Tao Huimin said.

Chatting casually, Tao Huimin put Liu Xiaoqing down at the intersection, and then drove straight to Yanjing Station, where Lin Weimin was already waiting.

Now in front of the Yanjing Railway Station, there is more and more the taste of Spring Festival transport for later generations.

Someone dragged the passengers who had just left the station and chattered endlessly, someone shouted with a loudspeaker, and someone waved a banner in front of the passengers.

Commercial songs and lines were playing on the radio at the train station, and the crowd was so busy that it was a busy and messy scene.

Several people had a meal first, and did not get on the train until after eight o'clock in the evening.

Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin bought a high-end soft sleeper, which happened to be shared between them, and they separated from Concubine He Sai when they got in the car.

The journey lasted more than 30 hours, and the cleanliness and comfort of the high-end soft sleeper made the journey for the two of them a lot easier.

But the journey from the train to Dao Huimin's home was not easy. Tao Huimin's home was in Ruian County below Wenzhou, and he took a bus back home. After waiting all night, it was already the afternoon of New Year's Eve when he arrived at Tao Huimin's hometown.

Coming out of Dongmen Bus Station in Ruian County, she immediately saw Mother Tao waiting there. Tao Huimin ran over excitedly and introduced Lin Weimin to her mother.

"I've seen it on TV, she looks really energetic!" Mother Tao said with a smile.

"Hello Auntie!"

Facing his future mother-in-law, Lin Weimin turned into that handsome, gentle and polite young man again. Mother Tao responded with a smile all over her face, "Okay, okay!"

This is her daughter's boyfriend, a great writer who is well-known all over the country. A while ago, she won a foreign award. Mother Tao became more and more satisfied with it, so much so that she ignored her daughter.

Tao Huimin pulled her mother's arm in dissatisfaction, and Tao mother looked at her daughter. Tao Huimin asked, "Where is my father?"

"Your dad is cooking at home. I know you are coming back today, but I don't know when it is. My dad and I will take turns to wait at the passenger station. He is cooking at home right now!"

Mother Tao's words made Lin Weimin feel a little bit emotional, and felt sorry for the parents of the world.

Mother Tao saw that Lin Weimin's hands were full of things again, and said, "There is nothing missing at home, so how can we use so many things?"

Tao Huimin smiled and said, "He insists on buying it. It's his first visit!"

Mother Tao smiled heartily, not because of things, but because of her attitude.

After chatting for a few words, they returned to Tao's house.

Tao Huimin's home is in the front of Jiefanglu County. His parents are both factory workers, and they live in the unit's family building.

As soon as Mother Tao brought Tao Huimin and Lin Weimin into the family building area of ​​the factory, it caused a sensation.

The residents here are both neighbors and colleagues of Tao's parents, who have been friends for decades.

In the first few years, Tao Huimin became a Shaoxing opera actor, went to perform all over the country, and even appeared on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. Everyone said that Tao's daughter was promising.

But I didn't expect her to be even more powerful later on, actually acting in movies and TV shows. When "The Story of a Female Doctor" was broadcast, Tao Huimin's name spread throughout the small town of Ruian County.

In the past two years, Tao Huimin has starred in the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions", and the neighbors also know that the daughter of the Tao family has become a big star if she can star in such a masterpiece as "Dream of Red Mansions".
Today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion. When the neighbors were cooking, they were still asking Father Tao when Tao Huimin would come back. While they were chatting, Mother Tao led the two of them into the house.

The neighbors originally set their eyes on Tao Huimin's celebrity, but when they suddenly saw Lin Weimin, a strange and handsome young man, the spirit of gossip immediately burned in their hearts.

"Old Tao, is this your future son-in-law?"

The aunt who spoke seemed to be about the same age as Tao's father and Tao's mother, and she seemed to be an old friend, so she was not polite at all.

"Hui Min's boyfriend, Xiao Lin." Mother Tao introduced with a smile.

Several neighbors looked at Lin Weimin, "You are really energetic and talented! What does Xiao Lin do?"

Tao Huimin and Lin Weimin had already informed Tao's father and Tao's mother about their relationship, but the two did not reveal half of it to their relatives and neighbors. The neighbors didn't even know that Tao Huimin had a boyfriend, let alone what Lin Weimin did.

"Auntie, I'm an editor at a publishing house."

Seeing Tao's father and mother's hesitation, Lin Weimin knew that they were worried, so he replied with a pleasant smile.

"Ouch! Editor, cultural person, yes, male talent and female appearance!"

After chatting for a few more words, a wealthy woman on the side said, "Xiao Lin looks familiar."

The others glanced at Lin Weimin when they heard the words, "I seem to have seen it somewhere."

Lin Weimin smiled and said, "Auntie, you may have seen me on "News Network"."

Everyone laughed, thinking that Lin Weimin was joking, but the rich woman who spoke first clapped her hands.

"Oh, that's right! You are that great writer, Lin Weimin, on "News Network"!"

The rich woman's voice was resonant, coupled with the surprise in her tone, it was even more high-pitched, and the voices of other people were all suppressed by her.

Everyone looked at the rich woman in surprise, and then looked at Lin Weimin again with shocked expressions.

"Xiao Lin, is your name Lin Weimin?" It was Mother Tao who asked the question.

Mother Tao glanced at Lin Weimin before saying, "Yes."

After Tao Mu's affirmative answer, the neighbors were speechless in astonishment, their eyes kept sweeping back and forth on Lin Weimin.

Everyone has heard of Lin Weimin's name before, especially when he won some kind of foreign award in the past two months. Newspapers, radio stations, and TV stations have made a lot of noise, and everyone knows it.

However, people rarely pay attention to his appearance, mainly because Lin Weimin has never shown his face in the media except for a few appearances on "News Network".

"It's really the great writer Lin Weimin?" Several neighbors couldn't help confirming in surprise.

Lin Weimin was afraid that Tao's father and mother would be embarrassed, and said, "Auntie, you just wrote a few novels, not a great writer."

"Ouch!" Neighbors ignored the content of Lin Weimin's words, confirmed his identity, and sighed in amazement.

"What a great writer!"

"I didn't expect Huimin to find such a powerful boyfriend!"

Neighbors were full of praise and exclamation, and the scene was a bit chaotic.

After a while, everyone calmed down, and they were still talking about Lin Weimin.

Mother Tao was a little helpless, seeing that they were full of interest, she had no intention of ending it for a while, so she could only drag a few of them out.

"It's almost enough. The child just came back and hasn't sat down to drink. I'll see what's new tomorrow."

Several neighbors and aunts listened to Tao's mother's words and left wisely, but from the way they looked, they must not be idle. It is estimated that in less than 10 minutes, the news that Tao Huimin talked about a great writer's boyfriend will spread throughout the family hospital.

Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin were able to rest after finally sending away the neighbors who came to see the excitement.

The family building is a very common tube building in this era. The Tao family was allocated two rooms, both of which are bedrooms.The kitchen is on the outside corridor and is shared, as is the toilet.

Father Tao and Mother Tao asked Lin Weimin to rest, but he rolled up his sleeves to help with work.

It was the time of the New Year's Eve dinner, and the corridor outside was busy, filled with smoke and fragrance.

Through the door, Lin Weimin could still hear the voices of the aunts who went out just now, spreading gossip with the neighbors.

"I don't need you, I don't need you. You two have been driving for two or three days, so take a break and watch the New Year's Eve at night."

At the insistence of Tao's father and Tao's mother, Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin had nothing to do with staying in the house. She turned on the TV at home.

In the corridor outside the door, from time to time, neighbors could be heard running over to ask Father Tao and Mother Tao for verification.

"Old Tao, I heard that your Huimin found a boyfriend of a great writer, is it true?"

"Old Tao, Lao Tao, I heard that the future son-in-law is here? Is it the great writer Lin Weimin?"

The enthusiastic neighbors made Tao's father and Tao's mother overwhelmed. Tao Huimin laughed out loud, "My parents are right not to let you go out to help."

Lin Weimin ate the snacks prepared for the New Year, and said: "The ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws. My future son-in-law is here, so I have to meet my neighbors too!"

After speaking, he opened the door.

The neighbors who were chatting around Tao's father and Tao's mother saw the tall and handsome young man coming out of Tao's house, and immediately realized that this was Tao Huimin's boyfriend. Some neighbors had seen the news about the Goncourt Literature Award on "News Network" before. Lin Weimin was recognized immediately.

It's really the great writer who appeared on "News Network"!
"Hello, uncles and aunts!" Lin Weimin greeted all the neighbors with a smile.

Everyone immediately abandoned Father Tao and Mother Tao, and turned their attention to Lin Weimin. There were also two aunts who stopped Tao Huimin at the door because there were too many people.

Seeing this, Father Tao and Mother Tao could only smile helplessly.

Before Lin Weimin came, they had this kind of worry, and the facts turned out as they expected.

It seems that being too famous is not a good thing.

After Lin Weimin's appearance, more neighbors surrounded Tao's house, and everyone wanted to see what the great writer looked like.

Lin Weimin has an easy-going attitude and speaks in a relaxed and humorous manner. He won the favor of many neighbors within a few minutes.

"It's really worthy of being a writer. Looking at what people say, it's really eloquent."

"He is a writer who has won a foreign award! How many novels have been published, and my son even bought his novels, Lao Tao is really lucky!"

The neighbors around the periphery couldn't get in the conversation, so they could only discuss on the sidelines.
