1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 179 Departing from Chang'an
On May [-]th, the sky above Beijing was cloudless, the sunshine was mild, and the breeze was pleasant. It was a good season for traveling.

The station was crowded, and in one corner I saw four people standing together smoking cigarettes and chatting.

"Alas! I can't accompany you two this time. I have a lot of desk work every day, and I really don't have enough time to spare."

Lao Ma complained with a grimace that the newspaper office had been so busy lately that he didn't even have time to go to the countryside.

"Damn, you're the only one who's still miserable. The wind doesn't blow and the rain doesn't hit you. How come this such a happy life has become a hard job for you? Why don't you give up?"

Luo Tao teased him, this guy has a lot of experience and is also very naughty. He looks for shade in the summer and warms himself by the stove in the winter. Now he is no longer a fool in the newspaper office.

Now even Wang Shuo, the standard bearer of gangster literature in later generations, lives under him. I heard that the two of them are now fighting fiercely.

"Tao'er, please stop teasing Xiao Ma. After all, I am a cultured person, so I am not stingy with being a fool like you."

Luo Shaoyi on the side said something. Hearing that Luo Tao was going to Chang'an to accompany Zhu Lin, the whole family agreed. He took a day off today to see him off.

"Uncle, you are definitely a sensible person. After seeing off these two gentlemen, we gentlemen can have some drinks. I haven't eaten the food cooked by my aunt for a long time."

This guy is full of evil, look, the autumn wind is about to start.

"Remember to bring something with you. Don't leave your hands empty every time and bring a bottle of wine with you when you go back."

Ma Weidu is absolutely thick-skinned, eating empty-handed is a common thing, and he is addicted to the wine, and Luo Tao is lazy to talk about him, but Luo Tao also ordered a few bottles of his old man's special wine.

That is to say, it would be too troublesome to enter the Air Force compound, otherwise Luo Tao could visit his house.Every time I make a phone call, I have to read the password, "Go all out to annihilate the invading enemy." The First Compound still has a lot of status.

"You also bring things from my house, don't explain."

"Well."

"Don't blame any of you. You are all full of bad ideas. You can still obey each other, but I am just being obeyed by you."

Mr. Wang was not happy when he heard this, and he suffered a big loss.

I heard that Luo Tao was going to Chang'an, and the old man couldn't stay idle. He went to Baihua Courtyard every day for the past two days. At first, Luo Tao really didn't want to take the old man with him. Fa explained to Mr. Yuan and the Wang family.

Finally, with Mr. Yuan's consent, the two of them went together. Mr. Wang also helped find someone to open a letter of introduction, otherwise Luo Tao might have to go back to the junkyard to find the old leader Li Changping to open one.

"Isn't it just a pair of ideas? You still remember it. I'll give it to you if you have your eye on this trip to Chang'an."

"Really?"

"Young men in the capital are spitting on each other, how can I still lie to you?"

Mr. Wang asked just that, and he knew in his heart that Luo Tao was not short of the money.

"Okay, when we get to Chang'an, I'll treat you to meat buns."

The four of them were chatting happily when they heard someone call: "Taozi."

Everyone turned around and saw that it was their father-in-law who was coming.

Luo Tao hurriedly greeted him, "Dad, why are you here? You're not in class!"

"How come you're not in class? I've just finished class. Let me take it for you. I asked a colleague who travels frequently to exchange for some national food stamps."

Father Zhu handed a small bag into Luo Tao's hand.

"Dad, didn't you take the one yesterday? Why did you exchange so much? You can't stay long, so you can use so much."

"Take it, I know that place. It's not as good as the capital. The more the better. Don't go hungry when you go out."

"Hey, thank you, dad." Luo Tao smiled and put away the food stamp bag.

"What are you two thanking me for? Let's go, let me say hello to your dad and Mr. Wang." Father Zhu patted Luo Tao and came to Luo Shaoyi with a smile.

Father Zhu, Mr. Wang and Mr. Ma all knew each other. They exchanged pleasantries and chatted while waiting for the train. …

The train was about to leave. Luo Tao carried two big bags and accompanied Mr. Wang to say goodbye to everyone.

"Taozi, when you and Mr. Wang arrive at the place, remember to call to report that you are safe. Don't forget it."

"I know, go back!"

After checking his ticket, he boarded the train to Chang'an and found his own berth. Considering Wang's age, Luo Tao bought two hard seats and a fast sleeper, which are simply hard sleepers.

There are also soft sleepers now, but the price is very expensive. More importantly, Luo Tao's level is not high enough. He can get it by looking for someone, but it is not necessary and a hard sleeper will be enough.

I bought two lower berths, and the ticket price was 33 yuan. If I bought the middle and upper berths, it would be relatively cheaper.

Nowadays, half-price tickets are also sold at stations. For example, this train will stop at SJZ and Taiyuan on the way. The tickets from Beijing to these two places are half-price.

"How are you doing, Mr. Wang?" Luo Tao lay tiredly on the bed and asked Mr. Wang opposite.

"It's okay, but it's hard to sit here. By the way, what movie did your wife make?"

"Hey! This movie is amazing. This year's West Film Studio's Anti-Ding film is adapted from the famous writer Mr. Fisherman..."

"Okay, just say that your writing is not good, you are not a great writer, you are just showing off."

This old gentleman doesn't know how to chat, so he can't pretend to compliment him. As the old saying goes, the mouth of the cannibal is short, and the hand of the taker is short. I bought the ticket, so why don't I have this awareness?

"It's boring for you to do this. I'm still very famous in the literary world."

What Luo Tao said was really not an exaggeration, it was all real influence.

Wang Laoshun said that one shot was fatal, "It seems that he was criticized by others for his fame!"

Luo Tao's face turned blue when he was retorted by the old man. This was true at first, and he couldn't refute it.

"Are you filming "Mountains Away and Roads Away"?"

"Well, are you interested in making a guest appearance?"

"I don't know how to do this, okay?"

This sentence has two tones, definitely transitioning into a question, but also full of excitement.

"It's definitely no problem. We can't act well if we have lines. How can we not act well if we don't have lines? With our image, if we dress more simply, we'll look like farmers."

When Mr. Wang heard that he could act without lines, he immediately lost interest. Who doesn't have an actor's dream in mind.

"I don't want to be embarrassed by accompanying you. You accompany your wife, and I'd better go shopping in Chang'an City by myself!"

"Don't mention it, it's just for fun. If you take part in this movie, you will immediately outperform all the movie masters in Beijing. We are just trying to have fun, what do you think?"

Luo Tao sat on the bed and lowered his waist to persuade Mr. Wang. Luo Tao just wanted to tie the old man to his side, but he couldn't let him wander around by himself. The years were not peaceful and no one could imagine what would happen.

They can be called masters in the capital, but no one will recognize them in Chang'an.

"We'll talk about it when we get to the ground. I'll take a rest first, and you, kid, can take care of this cricket for a while."

Mr. Wang took off the cloth bag from his waist and gave it to him. Luo Tao took it carefully and said, "Okay, please rest peacefully. I promise to take care of everything for you."

Not long after Mr. Wang lay down, he started snoring loudly, which for a time drowned out the sound of the crickets in the gourd. The coming and going of people in the corridor did not affect his rest.

Coincidentally, there was no one in the four shops above, so it was quite quiet along the way.

　Welcome to [Dama Patriarch] () Great!
