Yinyin was picking vegetables in the kitchen when she heard the excitement outside becoming more and more lively. She peeked her head in and saw an old man and a young man chatting animatedly. She pursed her lips and then retracted.
"Grandma, what do you think?"
"fine."
"With just a few words, you know he's doing well?"
"Who do you think I am? Although I have never killed any Japanese, I have also done underground work for a while. Who haven't I seen? I can tell you whether it is good or bad with just one glance."
"Wow, what you said is really weird!"
"This is called experience. It's like being a policeman. You can spot a thief at a glance. This kid is good, good-looking, polite, and willing to take the trouble."
"How do you know he's willing to bother?"
"There are not many people who are willing to coax the old man now. Your grandpa likes fishing, so he just happens to go fishing and chat? Doesn't your grandpa know that he is following his suit? Of course he does, but the younger generation has his own intentions, so he can't ruin the scenery."
Is that so?
Does it turn out that the elders know that the younger generation is trying to trick them?
Yinyin blinked and said with a smile: "But grandma, you are wrong in one thing. He is not completely in tune with what he likes. He really likes fishing. He goes fishing whenever he has nothing to do and spends the whole day fishing.
Novice on the road is just pretending!"
"He likes fishing in his 20s? Don't fool me!"
"It's true, I bought a whole cabinet of fishing rods."
"Oh, then this kid is young and mature?"
The old lady also took a look and said: "Anyway, I believe that my experience is no different."
…………
The old man and the old lady all speak with Shandong accent.
Because their hometown was in Rongcheng, Shandong, they belonged to different villages, and later they all participated in the revolution - before the founding of the People's Republic of China, they retired and settled in Tianjin.
As we all know, those who participated in the revolution before the founding of the People's Republic of China and those who participated in the revolution after the founding of the People's Republic of China were treated completely differently, especially cadres.
The roots are the most upright and the seedlings are the reddest. They are popular in the local area. If one of them is missing, it will be a loss.
Moreover, Rongcheng is a very powerful place. It is now a county-level city and is managed by Weihai. Since the founding of New China, Rongcheng has produced more than 140 generals, including 5 generals, making it a famous general city.
There are also high-level leaders, whose surname is Gu, so I won’t mention his first name.
In short, after the old couple retired, they developed hobbies very early. The old lady practiced calligraphy and painting, and the old man was even more lively and active. He was the leader of the dance team, fishing team, and gate team of the rest house.
These are all information provided by Yinyin's elbow turned outward.
The old lady is a good cook. She is 70 years old and cooks by herself. She quickly puts out a table of food. There is a nanny at home, so she kicked her out today because she didn't want to be in the way.
"Come and try it, does it taste good?"
"Um!"
Yao Yuan took a bite of the fish and exaggerated: "Your braised fish has fine meat, fresh flavor, and melts in your mouth. I have never tasted such delicious braised fish."
"Look at what you said, I don't even believe it myself."
"I'm not lying. Braised fish is difficult to make. I've been researching it from time to time, but I just can't make it taste like this."
"Do you usually cook?"
"I cook it often. When I'm busy, I eat out. When I'm not busy, I cook it myself."
"Hey, that's good. Try to eat out as little as possible."
At the dinner table, Yao Yuan was so elegant that he didn't let his words fall to the floor, and the four of them were having a lively and happy time.
A child who cannot speak but does practical things, and a child who does not do practical things but talks sweetly, most parents tend to like the latter. This is a common problem.
Even if they know you are talking nonsense, your good words will come to fruition.
After the meal, after passing the "experience appraisal" test, the old couple looked at Yao Yuan more and more pleasing to their eyes.
The two of them had made a lot of preparations for this trip. Yinyin first winked at Yao Yuan and then asked: "Grandpa, have you arranged your program?"
"Hey, don't mention it!"
Speaking of this, the old man looked depressed and said: "Those old guys are getting more and more picky. If you don't want to sing a good chorus, you won't do it. It's been delayed for several days."
"What about rearrangement?"
"I can't arrange it anymore! Look, since the 1980s, we have held this Spring Festival Gala for veteran cadres. Every year, I have taken the leading role, singing, dancing, cross talk, sketches, Peking Opera and various other plays. One year I even learned magic.
The purpose is to seek innovation and change. But after 20 years, I really can’t think of a way to do it.”
The old man sighed.
"Actually, there are only so many program formats, the key is content."
“Yes, but we don’t have creators, the old works are boring, and the new works are of poor quality, there’s no way!”
"Ahem..."
Yinyin coughed twice and said, "Grandpa, I know you are worried about this, so we specially made a song for you. Can you listen to it?"
"Song?"
The old man's eyes lit up and he said: "That's right, Daolang was created by you, right? Listen, are you a tape or a CD?"
The old couple were quite fashionable, so they immediately ran to the living room and put a large stereo on the wall with many discs on it.
Yao Yuan took out the disk and inserted it into the machine. A desolate and distant prelude came up, followed by a familiar rough voice singing: "Since you left, I have lost my tenderness. I am waiting on this snowy mountain road for a long time..."
Oops!
The old man was even more excited. It was really Daolang's song, and it was a new song that he had never heard before! You know, there has been no news from Daolang for more than a year since "KS Gar Poplar Populus", and everyone thought he was out of date.
"Remember that you promised me that you wouldn't let me miss you..."
This song is "Love Song of the West Sea".
It will be the title song of the new album, together with "Sheep in Wolf's Clothing". Although Yao Yuan wanted to please the old man, he did not fool Dao Lang. He wanted to create glory again.
If you don’t have 5 million sheets, 4 million sheets are also acceptable.
The old man felt very immersed when he listened to it. This song was so sad that many stories automatically appeared in his mind. Of course, what he was thinking about was how to apply it. It could be a solo, a chorus, or even better, singing and dancing at the same time!
Overflowing with inspiration!
"Hahaha!"
After listening to the song, the old man put his arms on his hips and smiled like a child, saying: "This year's outstanding veteran cadre is gone, it must be me again!"
At this moment, he had no problem with Yao Yuan. He asked his grandson-in-law to accept it and even stayed there. This was a bit embarrassing. Fortunately, the old lady had a clear mind and sent the two of them to live together.
We agreed to stay one night in Tianjin and come over for breakfast tomorrow before leaving.
The task was successfully completed, and both of them were very happy when they went out. On the way to the hotel, Yao Yuan asked again: "What is the outstanding veteran cadre your grandfather said?"
"The General Logistics Department reviewed something that wasn't of much use, so it was just used to play with these old kids, but one by one they were still trying to beat each other. My grandfather had to deal with it several times."
"It's not necessarily useless, at least I have more friends..."
Yao Yuan seemed to want to say something, but suddenly changed the topic and joked: "I'll consider it as passing the political review. Hey, in fact, if we were still looking at the composition, we would be a match."
"How to say?"
"I am a poor and lower-middle peasant, and you are a soldier. We both belong to the five red categories."
"snort!"
Yinyin rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's a shame it wasn't that time. You were a capitalist and you were going to be shot!"
(No more!
This chapter says that it disappeared for half a month, and I don’t know when it will recover...)
