Grandma received a call from Chu Xuan and learned that Chu Xuan was staying at An's house tonight, and that the two families would stay together for one night in the next few days. She was also dumbfounded.
Grandma understands Chu Xuan's heart. Both sides must be taken care of. No one is offended. She understands very well. It's just that such a situation is rare and interesting. After telling her uncle and aunt, the two elders also felt
funny.
"It's hard for Xiaoxuan. This son-in-law is really not easy to be." My aunt was both teasing and sighing.
On the first day Chu Xuan came to Wuhan, he stayed with his grandmother. On the second day, he followed his aunt to see the progress of the wedding dress and accompanied his grandparents. From the third day, he entered into a mode of spending one day together.
In this lifestyle, Chu Xuan also started his actions while traveling with Yuan Hong, carrying out the most important thing in Wuhan.
The first stop was the Wuhan Grand Theater. This is the place where my mother once pursued her dream. It was also the scene that my father never forgot after watching my mother dance in the audience. It was the beginning of their relationship and the birthplace of Liu Yifei.
The beginning of the marriage grave between Mom and Dad.
At first glance, the result of this emotional line generated in this place is a tragedy.
But without this tragedy, there would be no Liu Yifei, there would be no change in my mother's temperament, there would be no mother's determination to help Liu Yifei realize her dream of becoming an actress, and there would be no situation where he and Liu Yifei met and got married.
, let alone the relatively perfect family that he and Liu Yifei have now.
Under the sun, Chu Xuan walked on the small square, raised his head and looked at the cultural atmosphere of the theater building in front of him, and felt a complicated mood.
Yesterday, he still had the irresponsible behavior of criticizing mom and dad, and divorcing would bring trouble to the next generation. But today, coming to the place where mom and dad met, it gave him a feeling that he had not been away for a long time, but the past was still there.
The feeling of wind.
Criticizing Mom and Dad means not supporting Mom and Dad's divorce, and then he and Liu Yifei would not be where they are today.
And for him and Liu Yifei to be where they are today, it is equivalent to thanking their parents for their divorce in disguise. Is this kind of selfish and unfilial thought?
Chu Xuan took off his sunglasses, couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and threw away these distracting thoughts.
He realized that he had changed a bit. In the past, even though he liked to observe the details of life, he was not so active in his heart. However, after two months of directing, he may need to think deeply, experience and think deeply in the process of leading art.
It has become a habit, making his inner world very active and rich now.
Now when he sees or comes into contact with some things about himself and his family, he can't help but feel, think, remember and reflect on them.
"It's like an artist." He commented to himself shamelessly, and walked into the theater with Yuan Hong.
Although Yuan Hong is a local and has been in contact with and familiar with some people and units in the local cultural department, he is also quite unfamiliar with the theater, which makes Chu Xuan and him embarrassed.
Because in the past, it was a trivial matter like visiting old photos, and it was a bit difficult to ask anyone I met when I walked into the theater, and it would also make people in this unit feel confused.
Fortunately, with the aura of a star, any inexplicable behavior will always be inexplicably forced into a reasonable perception.
People come to the theater to look for old photos of their families? Maybe they are sick!
Big stars come to the theater to look for old photos of their families? Look, how heartwarming it is!
This kind of understanding has no humanistic logic at all, but this is often the case in today's society.
In such a double-standard social atmosphere, Chu Xuan and Yuan Hong, two inexplicable "interlopers", were warmly received by the staff of Luyu Theater, as if the theater's business would improve with the arrival of big stars.
As if their wages would increase, everyone came to crowd around them, asking for autographs and photos.
It can only be said that the entire world today is shrouded in an invisible ideological field dominated by the global media, which distorts the changes in the thoughts of many people without knowing it, and subconsciously follows such changes to pursue the so-called celebrity effect.
For example, for overseas luxury goods, a bag worth tens of thousands of yuan is no different from a domestically produced bag worth a few hundred yuan. Even the quality is not as good as a domestic bag worth several hundred yuan. However, many people like to buy tens of thousands of dollars. There are celebrities.
Endorsement is one of the main reasons.
The important affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.
Rong is the military, and the country is now considered a hidden dragon in this area. Sooner or later, it will have the power of a flying dragon in the sky.
It is regarded as a wave of thought that promotes traditional cultural beliefs and world affairs. Nowadays, it can also be regarded as ideological propaganda. However, this area is now firmly controlled and eroded by the West. The soft power area wants to rise strongly and restore the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
It is a long and arduous task for people to awaken to China's proud independent thinking.
After signing a few names, taking a few photos, and being introduced by an enthusiastic staff member, Chu Xuan and Yuan Hong met the theater's general director.
When my mother's song and dance troupe still existed, the general leader was a director of the theater, and Chu Xuan and Yuan Hong finally found the right person.
I learned from the general leader that the old leader who led my mother’s song and dance troupe in the past has passed away for many years, and that song and dance troupe has long since ceased to exist. The members have gone their separate ways and disappeared, and the past has gone with the wind.
Disperse.
Chu Xuan felt a little sad. His mother left the theater in 1997, only 12 years ago. Unexpectedly, things have changed a long time ago.
Following the head of the group to the office, the head of the group rummaged through several old photo albums and stored some scattered photos in envelopes.
Chu Xuan took a look and found that there were indeed photos of his mother mixed in. Many of them were not in the photo album at home, so this trip was not in vain.
"Auntie was really... amazing when she was young." Yuan Hong saw the stage photo of Auntie Zhang and Liu. Although it was a static picture, he could still see Auntie Liu in a beautiful dance costume spinning independently on one foot like a golden rooster.
Although the pixels of the old photos were hard to describe, the blurry surface could not hide Aunt Liu's beauty. Such a gesture made him almost blurt out a compliment "so beautiful", but then he thought about praising his elder aunt like this as a junior and an outsider.
It seems a bit inappropriate, so I can only say "absolutely".
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at this photo, Chu Xuan recalled something in his heart, remembering what Liu Yifei said in the past: If my mother had become an entertainment star, then I would be in her glory all my life.
under.
Chu Xuan felt that if my mother changed her life and changed her career to film and television, maybe this sentence would become a reality.
However, every era is different, and each era has its own style.
In the 1970s and 1980s, under the background of the most glorious era of labor, people at that time still sang "Unity is strength, unity is strength..."
All the people are engaged in infrastructure construction and construction. It is people's pleasure to unite and work together to sing a labor chant.
There were only a few movie theaters at that time, and TVs were extremely expensive. A ticket could cost you a few cents to watch a song and dance performance, which was one of the few ways of entertainment for people in that era.
Mom is extremely talented in dancing, and her image is even more impeccable. Being able to become a big star in the dance industry in this era is due to luck and the creation of the times.
With the deepening of reform and opening up, the spread of Western culture, the construction of cinemas, the price reduction of televisions and the improvement of people's living standards...
In the late 1990s, musicals gradually became ungrounded and the public image of the evolution of literature and art gradually changed from elegance to vulgarity.
Here, the mother gave up her dream for her daughter, and coincided with the rapid changes of the times. In the era of the rise of the film and television industry after the millennium, she trained her daughter to become a film and television superstar.
I was a dance superstar in the 1980s and 1990s, and my daughter is a film and television superstar in the millennium. This seems to be the change and promotion of my mother unintentionally mixed with many external factors, but from a God's perspective, the fate of mother and daughter is intertwined.
It is integrated and in line with the development of the changing times. Isn't this a kind of wisdom from my mother?
What is shown in the heart is nothing more than what is shown outside.
Chu Xuan specially brought a digital camera and took some wonderful photos of his mother before he and Yuan Hong ended their trip to the theater.
Turning to the next day, which was also the fourth day after arriving in Wuhan, Chu Xuan, accompanied by Yuan Hong, followed him to the second stop, the Hubei Cultural Center.
I heard from Liu Yifei that there were several uncles and aunts who were good friends with my mother working here. After Yuan Hong inquired through personal connections, Chu Xuan quickly successfully visited an aunt.
Aunt Ji was a little surprised when she heard that Chu Xuan was looking for old photos of her mother-in-law.
Unlike the young people in the theater, the elderly Aunt Ji did not force herself to find a reasonable understanding of how to deal with big stars. She was simply baffled that Chu Xuan came to her specifically for such a trivial matter.
After Chu Xuan repeatedly explained, Aunt Ji finally believed that he was really looking for photos to surprise his mother-in-law.
"You are also interested. In the blink of an eye, your mother-in-law and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I do have some photos from the past, but I don't know if I can still find the photos of your mother-in-law alone. Well, I will go back and look for them today.
, if so, I’ll text you and tell you, is it okay for you to come over tomorrow?”
"Okay, thank you, auntie. I'm really sorry for troubling you."
Following the same pattern, through Yuan Hong's personal relationship, Chu Xuan found another Uncle Yang and heard from him that he had once been his mother's dance partner.
This is a good relationship. I was a dance partner with my mother. I think there should be some photos from the past, right?
As he expected, when they came to the cultural center again on the fifth day, Aunt Ji and Uncle Yang both brought some old photos of their mother alone, and Uncle Yang brought many more photos than Aunt Ji.
"Uncle Yang was your mother-in-law's suitor back then." Aunt Ji laughed, and Uncle Yang was a little embarrassed.
Chu Xuan suddenly realized that no wonder he had collected so many photos of his mother. It turned out that this person had had evil intentions towards his mother, and it seemed that he was successfully intercepted by his father Ankang.
"so far so good……"
Chu Xuan murmured in his heart and said "it's okay" several times.
Just look at the appearance of Uncle Yang with a full beard. A high EQ rating can be described as an artist, while a low EQ rating means a face full of beards.
If she had been with her mother like this, what would Liu Yifei have looked like?
"Can't think, can't think, there is a ghost." Chu Xuan hurriedly threw away the thoughts that seemed to be haunted by ghosts.
"Dad, although the divorce between you and my mother ended in tragedy, I must give you a thumbs up for successfully cutting off my husband and taking my mother down." Chu Xuan added in his heart.
"Times have really changed. In a blink of an eye, Xiaoli has reached the age of 50. I haven't seen her for a long time..." Uncle Yang sighed, looking at Chu Xuan as if there was something unspeakable in his eyes.
Why does Chu Xuan see him like that? Do you want to meet my mother? Although my mother is only 50 years old, she still has the appearance of a prosperous woman in her 40s. If you see her, you won’t have any other ideas, right?
"Thank you, uncle and aunt. Goodbye, uncle and aunt!"
Chu Xuan found a few photos and took them. When Uncle Yang wanted to say something, he immediately left and left without giving the bearded man a chance to speak.
Just like my mother regarded Sissi as a treasure, she once thought that no man was worthy of Sissi.
As a son-in-law, he has the same mentality. No man is worthy of our mother, let alone this bearded man.
This person is in danger, the wind is blowing hard.
…
"Goodbye, grandparents. I'll see you next time."
"Grandma, uncle and aunt are coming to play at home on June 18th. You can come early. If you come early, ask Sister Hua to get the key. I may go to the United States to stay with Sissy until June 18th and then come back."
After staying in Wuhan for five days, Chu Xuan said goodbye to his family members on both sides on the night of the fifth day and the morning of the sixth day.
I gained something at the theater and at the cultural center, including finding some photos at my home and my grandma’s home.
During the email exchange with Liu Yifei, and after confirming with my grandmother, a total of fifty representative pictures of my mother from the age of 1 to 50 that can represent my mother's existence every year have been assembled. Then the purpose of the trip to Wuhan has been achieved.
Back to Beijing to make follow-up preparations.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, I will come with Sissy next time." Grandpa and grandma said goodbye. The eldest uncle had already gone to Shenzhen a few days ago to continue working on the couple's wedding.
House matters.
For grandparents, although Chu Xuan only stayed at home for two or three days, and most of that time was busy outside, and he only had two or three nights to accompany them, the joy and joy of these two or three nights was their
A rare mood throughout the year.
Facing Chu Xuan's departure, the two old people were very reluctant to leave, but young people have their own world. The two old people did not have any words to hold back, but only hoped to see you next time when they opened the door.
.
Chu Xuan saw the expectations in his grandparents' eyes. He also felt unspeakable sadness, but he had no good way to deal with it. He could only forcefully dispel the emotion and wave goodbye.
"Xiao Xuan, take your time. Should you come on the same day or come in advance and see us later?" Grandma and uncle and aunt said goodbye at the door.
Compared with the loneliness of grandparents, grandma's side is better. Because of the existence of mother, Chu Xuan and grandma are closer, and there are uncles and aunts to accompany them. Although grandma is reluctant to leave, it is more about passing time.
Looking forward to seeing you again in the future.
"There's also that Buddha jumping over the wall. There are too many ingredients. Come cook on your mother-in-law's birthday, and I'll teach you how to cook." Auntie said.
In addition to the photos, stir-fried meat with green beans, deep-fried fried loach, boiled fish fillets, and Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, these four dishes are the second surprise dishes Chu Xuan prepared for his mother. The first three dishes have been served in the past few days.
Under the guidance of my aunt, I made it once or twice each time. Not to mention that I have completely learned it, but at least I know the operation steps. I hope I won’t be too unfamiliar when cooking on my mother’s birthday.
It's just that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is like a pot of random stew. It's a bit troublesome due to too many ingredients. I haven't had the opportunity to try this dish in the past few days since I came to Wuhan, so I had to improvise it on my mother's birthday.
"good!"
Chu Xuan responded, got into the passenger seat of Yuan Hong's vehicle, waved to the grandmother and others at the gate, and then the vehicle started driving towards the airport.
"Lao Yuan, thank you very much. If you are free on June 18th, come to my house in Beijing and play together. If you are not free, Sissy and I will go to Hengdian to see you later."
"Okay, have a nice trip."
Yuan Hong drove Chu Xuan to the airport and said goodbye.
Chu Xuan carried his luggage bag and walked to the terminal, ending his five-day trip to Wuhan.
He came here with the purpose of preparing a surprise for his mother, and the experience of spending time with his family on both sides of his family also made him feel something.
The old man has no idea how much time he will have for the rest of his life. He just hopes that no matter how many times he comes here again, he can still be as charming as this time.
