Chapter 30: New Year
(Tomorrow at 14:00, there will be a recommendation in the popular serial column of the urban column of this book. I hope book friends will support it at that time. Laoyun would like to thank you all here, thank you.)
At night, at the village chief’s house.
Ran Juncai said: “Mr. Zhang, thank you for coming to our small place. If you invest here, we will give you the best conditions. By the way, I would like to ask, what kind of investment does Mr. Zhang want to make?”
Zhang Yong told Ran Juncai his idea of preparing to build a grassland-themed “Kublai Khan Film and Television City”.
Originally, Ran Juncai was still worried about what Zhang Yong said about preparing to invest, but he just wanted to talk, but when he heard that Zhang Yong wanted to build a film and television city, this made him even more convinced. Zhang Yong is the boss of a film and television company. Building a film and television city is a matter of his own. The credibility is very high, and the key is that people have already thought about the name of the film and television city to be built.
“Mr. Zhang, you are quite busy. Maybe after these few days, you won’t have time to come back to the capital for field inspection. But now that the Spring Festival holiday is here, and our township is on holiday, they can’t take you to the field for inspection. , My hometown is in the south, and I don’t plan to go home this year, so I will show you around in person during this time.” Ran Juncai has decided that even if he gives up the Spring Festival holiday, he will make this investment.
Zhang Yong admires Ran Juncai’s dedication to his work. He didn’t expect to have such a good official at the grassroots level under such difficult conditions. “Okay, but in the past two days, I have to prepare for the New Year at Li’s house. Every day after the new year, I have to trouble you, Ran Township. Come, cheers!”
the next day.
Early in the morning, Li Li called Zhang Yong. “Zhang’er, get up, today is the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, we are going to the market, otherwise the market will be closed tomorrow, and there will be no New Year’s goods at home.”
“I don’t know much about this. Don’t Mom and Dad go shopping for New Year’s goods?” Zhang Yong really didn’t know how they celebrated the New Year here.
“My parents are going to set up a house at home for the Chinese New Year. Let’s go, we can buy the New Year’s goods. No, I can buy it. You are responsible for the transportation, and that’s it.” Li Li said that the feelings just want Zhang Yong to be her transportation. Workers, are there any employees who treat their bosses like this?
The place to go to the market is in the township of Mantou Township, not very far, only a few kilometers away. But Li Li asked Zhang Yong to drive the car more than a mile away from the village and stopped. “Let’s go over there. There are too many people in the market and it’s inconvenient to drive.”
The two wore thick clothes, and Zhang Yong wore a scarf, a military cap, and sunglasses. They were recognized by the examiner and the traffic police during the driving test before, but this time they were recognized by Ran Juncai as “Lu Ziqiao” , Zhang Yong doesn’t dare to appear unprotected anymore. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Who knows how many people in the market can recognize him? It would be bad if a lot of people asked him to sign.
“Zhang’er, you are too exaggerated.” Li Li said, looking at Zhang Yong, who was so wrapped that only his mouth and nose were exposed.
“Hehe, it’s too cold in your house.” Zhang Yong also felt that what he was doing was a bit exaggerated.
The last time I went to the market a year ago, all the households went to the market to buy things. If they don’t buy things on this day, the next time the market is re-opened, they will have to wait until the sixth day of the first lunar month, so every household wants to prepare a lot of things. And in the north this season, it is very cold, so these things don’t even need a refrigerator, they are placed directly at home, and they are not afraid of being damaged.
However, this season, there are not many types of things that can be bought. The only vegetables that can be bought are Chinese cabbage, pork, etc., which are not limited by the season, and some condiments sold by merchants from other places. There are quite a lot of stalls for buying clothes and toys, but Zhang Yong and the others can’t use these things. At this time, people who come to sell things are all to make more money, so the selling price is much more expensive than usual.
After crowding at the market all day, when they returned, Zhang Yong and Li Li only bought five chickens, a dozen pounds of pork, and a basket of Chinese cabbage. “I said that I should buy some New Year’s goods from the capital, but my parents couldn’t. Really, I can only eat these for Chinese New Year today.” Li Li said a little depressed.
“It’s good to have these,” Zhang Yong said. For some people, it’s a problem to even get enough to eat, not to mention the New Year. “Someone is selling candied haws in front of you. Would you like to try two bunches?”
“OK.”
The next day, it was New Year’s Eve. The house that was unoccupied for a year, with Zhang Yong and four people staying, also gained a lot of popularity, and many people came to the door every day. Especially the Hengshun who was waiting for them at the entrance of the village. When he was rushing to the door, he saw that Uncle Li’s family was short of New Year’s goods, and he even gave them 10 catties of the sheep they just killed. When Zhang Yong wanted to give money, Hengshun refused, saying that this was a gift from the elders to the younger generation.
In the evening, Zhang Yong and the four had an early New Year’s dinner and watched TV at home.
On New Year’s Eve in 2007, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala was still very popular, and many provincial TV stations also broadcasted the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Unlike the later years, there were more and more entertainment programs. , fewer and fewer people watch CCTV gala.
Uncle Li especially likes the sketch “Affair in Our Village”, “Broadcasting and communication basically rely on roaring, that is, shouting in your voice, transportation basically depends on walking, heating in winter basically depends on shaking, social security basically depends on dogs, and farming basically relies on cattle. Lighting basically relies on oil, and if you want to say bird flu, there is no bird flu at all (there is not even a chicken or duck in the village).” This buzzword gradually became popular in this sketch.
“Bantou Township, when I was young, it was like this in this sketch.” Uncle Li said with emotion, “Now there are some improvements, but it is still very poor, alas.”
“Dad, when I build a film and television city here, there will be more people here to shoot movies, and more people will come to travel, it will get better.” Zhang Yong said.
The program “Blossoming Peach Blossoms” is Aunt Li’s favorite. “Hahaha, this song about blossoming peach blossoms is really funny, and the dance choreographed is also very funny.”
Li Li said, “I don’t think so. Actually, the “Love Apartment” filmed by Zhang Yong is even more funny. Next time, I will bring the CD to you and watch it at home.”
“No need, the TV in the restaurant will be turned into a mango station by those diners when it is time for “Love Apartment”. We were almost laughed to death by Lu Ziqiao played by Xiao Zhang.” Uncle Li said, it turns out that they are also Zhang Yong’s fan, “It’s just a pity, Li Er, you didn’t star in it.”
“Hehe, isn’t that Zhang Yong has arranged too many company affairs for me, and I don’t have time.” Li Li glared at Zhang Yong.
“Sister Li, can you find a deputy!” Zhang Yong said awkwardly.
“Come on, I’m not at ease.” Li Li said, in fact, she likes the work of the general manager very much.
