Chapter 179: Peaceful years


    evening.


    It was dinner time, and Tongzilou was busy. Oil smoke was everywhere in the long corridor, and there was a mixed aroma floating around.


    "Zi la!"


    Gong Xue wore an apron and was cooking here for the first time. She made an ordinary stir-fried green vegetable in a hot pan and cold oil. She stir-fried until the vegetable leaves were gone. She added some salt first, then picked up a small jar and scooped out three Put a spoonful of sugar in it.


    "Xiao Gong! You stir-fry vegetables and add sugar?"


    The neighbor happened to see it and started yelling, as if he had done something heinous. The neighbor was a garment engineer in the factory. Gong Xue smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, I like to eat something sweet."


    "You haven''t gotten used to it after living in the north for so many years?"


    "I''m pretty used to it. I like to eat it without sugar, but sometimes I add a little."


    "Tsk, tsk, I really don''t know what it tastes like, vegetables with sugar..."


    Teacher Zhang went in shaking his head.


    Gong Xue fried the vegetables, made egg soup, brought a bowl of rice into the house, placed it on the newly bought small table, and ate the first meal cooked by herself after moving in.


    Her grandfather was from Changzhou and later moved to Shanghai, and his eating habits had a great influence on her mother.


    Changzhou likes to use distiller''s grains, sweet and sour, and light soy sauce for seasoning. She is good at cooking poultry and aquatic products. It is rich and sweet, so her mother is so crazy about adding sugar. Gong Xue has stayed in the north for a long time, so the taste is relatively mild and can be eaten both sweet and salty.


    This room is more than ten square meters. The entrance is facing a window. Under the window is a bed, which is larger than a single bed and smaller than a double bed. It is covered with national sheets with peony patterns.


    Next is an old sofa given by Zhang Jinling, with a small coffee table.


    Behind the door is a washbasin shelf, and there is a set of tables and chairs placed against the wall near the door, with tall stacks of books and the four treasures of the study. There were several large bags piled on the ground, filled with clothes.


    "It still needs a big wardrobe and a utility cabinet, and that''s all..."


    Gong Xue ate, washed the dishes, walked around the house a few times with her hands behind her back, and suddenly smiled: "This is my home!"


    The factory said this was a single dormitory assigned to her, but with her current reputation, there was definitely no chance that someone would break in and use the house as a new house while she was out filming.


    So this is her home.


    Homes these days are actually houses allocated by work units, with low rents of a few dollars per month.


    Gong Xue finally found a place to stay after being away for many years. She was so excited that she couldn''t help but go to the table, mixed the ink, and painted a traditional Chinese painting of a magpie climbing a branch. The signature was "Xinyou Early Spring Gong Xue" Painted in the capital", written in beautiful official script.


    It got dark in the blink of an eye.


    She washed her feet, got into bed, and lay on her bed fresh and happy. Under the bed was an enamel spittoon—actually, it was just a bedpan for waking up at night, huh.


    There are only public toilets in Tongzilou. Fortunately, she grew up in an alley, and Shanghainese people are used to emptying toilets every time. So it is very simple to screen time travellers these days, just let him empty the urinal! Let him wipe his **** with dirt!


    "Ah...ah..."


    I don''t know when Gong Xue was about to fall asleep, but suddenly there was a faint moaning sound in his ears. She listened carefully, and there was indeed a sound, as if coming from all directions.


    The woman was screaming suppressed, happy and crying.


    "Ah Tala, come here!"


    Gong Xue''s eyes widened. Her first reaction was Teacher Zhang. Thinking about it, it was impossible. Teacher Zhang was already over fifty years old. They were another couple who were neighbors, both ordinary workers in the factory.


    She thought it would be over in a moment, but the woman screamed louder and louder, ah, bah, louder and louder.


    The charming moan seemed to penetrate the wall. Somehow, she also felt hot. She had to curl up and clutch the corners of the quilt tightly. She didn''t know what suddenly came to her head. Her body curled up more and more, and an inexplicable feeling gushed out. Ready to move.


    However, this impulse was quickly interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Teacher Zhang''s voice: "What time is it? You guys are not going to sleep. We older ones are still sleeping. Why don''t we use quilts nailed to the wall to separate us?" …”


    The surroundings became quiet.


    Can it be soundproofed by nailing a quilt to the wall?


    Gong Xue learned strange knowledge, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Oh my God, will I do this in the future? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing!


    Of course she didn''t know that historically, after she won a double film with "Under the Bridge", the Shanghai Film Studio specially allocated a house to her. Well, it was the Shanghai Film New Village with a flush toilet. …


    Chen Qi continued to rest, while cooperating with official publicity and making reports.


    He knew that his superiors must be studying his affairs and was not in a hurry. On this day, director Yang Jie came to bring good news.


    "The filming of "Bao Qingtian" is about to begin!"


    "Really? Everyone is here?"


    "We''re all here. We''re living in the guest house. I asked them to focus on training and hired experts on Song Dynasty history to give lectures. We can''t be careless. The filming will officially start in ten days. I''m asking you to lend us a studio. ?”


    "You go find the supervisor. What I said doesn''t count."


    "Oh, who doesn''t know that you are a famous person now? You wrote this drama."


    Yang Jie is a bit cheating, but she can''t help it. The TV series has just started and there are no conditions. For example, "Desire" rented two basketball courts and built a tent for filming. "Journey to the West" was even more intense, setting up the scene directly on the stage of the CCTV studio.


    "Then let me tell you. I can''t guarantee whether it will work or not!"


    Chen Qi took advantage of the favor and asked: "By the way, who is Bao Zheng''s candidate?"


    "Lipo from the Bayi Factory used to join the Eighth Route Army. He has filmed "Muslim Detachment", "Red Sun" and "Lin Hai Xue Yuan". He is very experienced. Moreover, he has a fat head and big ears. He is not angry or intimidating, and he tries on clothes. The effect is particularly good.”


    puff!


    Chen Qi laughed to death on the spot.


    Li Po is the dubbing voice of Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West", and Dong Zhuo in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". When filming the Three Kingdoms, he was already old and had wrinkles on his face, but he still has some flesh now.


    The thought of Mr. Bao being impassioned and upright in the front, while Zhang Guangbei is looking at him from behind, has become an art at this moment...


    "Bao Qingtian" Yang Jie has the final say, and he is too lazy to get involved too much. He can just keep Li Jianqun when the time comes.


    …


    Two days later, it’s Women’s Day.


    Gong Xue received a bunch of teapots, towels, shampoo and other things. "Tai Chi" has not yet been released in China, but thanks to her contribution to foreign exchange, she was specially given a certificate and a 100-yuan bonus.


    That''s right, 100 yuan.


    Already a lot!


    Chen Qi accompanied her to order a large wardrobe from an educated youth cooperative that specialized in making furniture. The wood was used by Chen Qi to build houses and make furniture. Gong Xue paid 45 yuan for the processing fee.


    "I heard that they can earn up to more than 90 yuan a month. They are very famous in the cooperative, and their orders are queued until the end of the year."


    "Yes, if it hadn''t been for Aunt Wang, we wouldn''t have been able to get it. But the wardrobe you want is too big. There''s no other place to put it in your room. How about changing to something smaller?"


    "No, I like big cabinets! I have more and more clothes, how can I do without a big cabinet?"


    Gong Xue was self-willed and did not need anyone to teach her. After becoming a movie star, she paid attention to dressing up and even learned how to put on makeup. This kind of fragmented life made her enjoy it and gave her a feeling of peace and tranquility. .


    Unfortunately, peaceful days are always short-lived. Just after they finished ordering wardrobes and returned to Beijing Film Studio, Chen Qi was called away again.


    "Why did you come back just now? I''ve been waiting for you for a long time, and Mr. Liao is looking for you!"


    "Now?"


    "Yeah, leave right away!"


    "You go back first..."


    Chen Qi waved to Gong Xue and followed the visitor. Gong Xue looked at his back. The feeling of "not being able to catch up" came back. She didn''t know where this little man''s limit was and how far he would develop.
