Chapter 219: The Three-Like Scholar (Base 2-in-1)

~21 min read 4,060 words

Here, Mei Wenhua was supervising the renovation. Hearing the roar of the motorcycle, he immediately ran out. He thought someone was stealing his motorcycle.

Then he saw Wei Ming. Just as he was about to say hello, Xu Yunyun, who was sitting in the back, jumped off the seat. Mei Wenhua immediately smoothed his hair and waved at her with a smile.

"Oh my, Yunyun, you're here. Xiao Hong is also here. Brother Ming, come in, come in." He also pushed his glasses, a Confucian businessman style.

Although Xiao Mei was talking to Wei Ming, there was no him in his eyes at all.

Wei Ming asked: "To what extent is the renovation now? Can it open within a week?"

The two girls walked into the shop. The nearly 300-square-meter shop was still very large, and the renovation style was also very advanced and quite foreign.

Xiao Mei waved his hand: "No problem. It's already starting to finish. Next is to put the clothes in."

Speaking of business, Mei Wenhua became serious. Biaozi had already gone to Sichuan and Chongqing to film. Before Wei Ming returned, he almost had to do everything himself.

Wei Ming took a look. Although there was a gap with the modern clothing store he imagined, it was definitely a cross-era progress compared to the current ready-to-wear stores. He asked about the clothing situation again.

Mei Wenhua: "In this regard, Biaozi's mother is responsible. Women's clothing has already been made. Different factories make different styles. It's too late for jeans, so I imported a batch from big resellers, first filling the shop. In addition, leather shoes, hats, scarves, silk scarves, belts, sunglasses, etc., can only be imported from resellers, and the profit will be lower."

Wei Ming nodded. At first, Mei Wenhua wanted to sell everything, mainly clothing, and also sell popular Southern department stores. Later, he changed his thinking and only sold things related to dressing. He hoped that customers would come in and buy shoes, hats, sunglasses, and silk scarves after buying clothes, maximizing profits.

And this required the ability of the salesperson. Oh, Brother Ming said this was called a shopping guide. He looked at Xu Yunyun: "Cousin, what do you think of our shop?"

"Good, very comfortable." Yunyun said sincerely.

The voice was soft, and she looked like a gentle girl. However, this accent had to be changed. Doing business in the capital required speaking Mandarin. He would teach her slowly in the future.

Wei Ming looked and said to Mei Wenhua: "What about the red scarves I asked you to prepare."

"Oh, Biaozi's mother has already made them, and they are in their factory."

Wei Ming: "I also need to bring a few sets of finished women's clothing, standard size is fine."

Xiao Hong couldn't help but be happy when she heard this. This was to give them new clothes!

Mei Wenhua: "Okay, I'll go get them later. Where should I send them?"

Wei Ming told him the address of Li Guangfu's house and asked him to send it there later, and have a meal together.

The red scarves were prepared for the students. When taking students out, he was afraid of losing children, so it was best to have a unified logo.

Buying unified clothing for them was too expensive, and hats didn't have that technology, so let's use red scarves.

Rural elementary school students had known about red scarves in Chinese and math application problems since they were young, but no one had ever seen that thing.

And there was the legendary Children's Palace, which was a place they would need decades to reach.

After Wei Ming rode his motorcycle to take the two sisters away, Mei Wenhua also rode away.

After returning to Li Guangfu's house, Wei Ming put down the two sisters and was about to leave.

"Brother, what are you doing again?"

Wei Ming: "Oh, I'm going to mail the article I wrote on the road. I'll be back in a while, it won't delay dinner."

After speaking, the motorcycle ran away in a flash. Wei Ming was going to find Sister Lin. He hadn't seen her for more than a week, and he missed her very much. She must be too.

At this time, she was almost off work.

Wei Ming's time was very precise. Before the car turned off, he saw her walking out from inside.

With a wave, Zhu Lin put down her bicycle and ran over, and also got on his car. The action was so tacit.

Wei Ming apologized: "Good sister, I can't eat with you today. I have to eat with the students from my hometown in a while."

Zhu Lin had heard him mention this, and disappointed "oh" a sound.

"This is a serious matter, then you accompany the students first. How many days will you be busy?"

Wei Ming: "Initially set for three days, starting tomorrow, I have to accompany them throughout."

"Then okay, I'll find you when you're busy."

"You can find me, but you can't stay overnight. It's not very convenient at my house now. My real sister Xiao Hong and cousin Yunyun have moved in."

"Ah?" Zhu Lin thought to herself that wasn't that a disaster.

Wei Ming knew what Sister Lin was disappointed about. He held Sister Lin's small hand and said: "Rest assured, I will arrange for them to work in the shop later. They won't be home all day, and it won't work at night, but we can do it in the daytime."

Zhu Lin patted him lightly, a bit of embarrassment that her inner desire was recognized.

She really wanted to do that, and her period had just passed, which was the safest time, allowing the two to get closer.

That thing was too beautiful, she only hated why she didn't know Ma Xiaowei when she was eighteen, wasting ten years of good youth in vain.

Wei Ming: Ten years ago, I'm afraid I didn't have the ability to make my sister happy~

Wei Ming added: "Sister, you have to help me with a favor."

"What favor."

Wei Ming glanced at her figure: "Help me take a few photos."

When he returned to Li Guangfu's house, Mei Wenhua had already arrived for a while, and was chatting with Yunyun with a cheeky face.

Wei Hong took the clothes brought by Mei Wenhua: "Brother, are these for me and Yunyun?"

"Of course not, I have a use." Wei Ming took them back and put them away.

Wei Ming added: "After a while, you and Yunyun go to the shop to help. I will pay you a salary, or use clothes to offset it."

Xiao Hong's eyes lit up immediately, okay!

Wei Ming saw that the elementary school students had also put on red scarves. Although the way they wore them was varied, their faces were filled with the sense of honor of the successors of socialism.

Wei Ming shook his head with a smile: "Come, come, come, I'll teach you how to wear them."

He asked Qi Delong to come over as a demonstration, and asked Mei Wenhua to help the children wear red scarves. Only the two of them knew how to do it here, and the two teachers had to learn it on the spot.

After completing this ceremony, a group of people went out to eat in a mighty way, went to the restaurant to eat fried sauce noodles. They came late on purpose, and there were few guests, and a group of people occupied the shop directly.

Noodles for arrival, noodles for departure, eating a bowl of noodles when arriving in Yanjing was just right.

A bowl of pure white flour noodles was an extravagant hope for the children of Gouzitun, not to mention that there were meat diced in the fried sauce, and the sauce was fried with oil, which was even more unthinkable.

So the children buried their heads and ate noodles. The first one to finish was the short student Shen Xiaobao. After eating, he put the bowl there and looked out the window curiously.

Qi Delong was the second to finish. He asked Wei Ming directly: "Brother Ming, can I have another bowl?"

Wei Ming laughed: "If it's not enough, ask for more. Xiao Bao, come again."

Shen Xiaobao wanted to decline, but Wei Ming had already ordered it for him. This time he changed to eggplant meat diced noodles, which was also delicious.

Many people chose to have another bowl, and some girls felt that it was difficult to have another bowl, so two people had one bowl, and while eating, they stared at the price list.

Although the lower-grade students didn't get a solid scholarship, it cost a lot of money to eat in the capital for a few days. Worth it, so worth it!

Especially the third place couldn't help but rejoice that he was one or two points more than the fourth place. This was the first time they had the concept that "one point can change destiny."

And for Wei Ming, money was not a problem, the problem of food stamps was more severe. There were too many people, so he had to trouble Xiao Mei to help him get some on the black market, including Yunyun's life in Yanjing in the future, which had to be obtained through other channels.

Xiao Mei agreed: "I am duty-bound!"

Wei Ming added to the elementary school students: "After eating, I will take you to see the night view of Yanjing."

The elementary school students howled excitedly again.

In that era, Yanjing City couldn't talk about any night view. After all, electricity was limited. It was good that the main road had a dim street lamp.

However, there were some lights in foreign-related places and top commercial streets.

So Wei Ming was going to take them for a walk on Wang Fujing Street. Some storefronts were still open, mainly to see the Yanjing Hotel.

Now what they saw were bungalows and courtyard houses, far from shocking. And the 80-meter-high, magnificent, and brightly lit Yanjing Hotel would give elementary school students a concept of modern China.

The children were already very amazing, but Wei Ming felt it was just like that.

The bus first put other passengers at the long-distance passenger station, and then came to Li Guangfu's house under Wei Ming's command.

They walked along Dongdan Third Street to Wang Fujing. There were more storefronts open with lights on. Xiao Mei explained to them what these storefronts were for and what history they had.

Everyone listened with half-understanding, only feeling that they had gained knowledge.

Qi Delong felt a bit uncomfortable. It turned out that there was such a good place in the capital. He had returned to his grandfather's house in Yanjing every summer before, but he had never been here.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to be a Yanjing person.

And when they came to the outside of the Yanjing Hotel and saw the building emitting golden light, the elementary school students couldn't walk.

So high!

So beautiful!

So good-looking!

For this place, Wei Ming had more say than Mei Wenhua, and briefly introduced its history and purpose.

Wei Hong asked: "Brother, have you been in?"

The two teachers smiled and shook their heads. Ma Xiaowei had just said that this was specifically for foreign guests. How could he...

Wei Ming: "I've been in, and I've even eaten inside."

Hearing this, the children looked at Wei Ming with even more worship.

Wei Ming: "Okay, let's walk here. West is Tiananmen. Everyone come over to watch the flag-raising tomorrow morning."

Hearing this place name, the children howled excitedly. Xiao Hong and Yunyun were also the same. They hadn't seen it yet.

In that era, the dream of many people in their lives was to take a photo with the great man's photo in front of Tiananmen and watch the national flag rise once.

Yunyun looked at Mei Wenhua who had been inseparable from her: "Brother Culture, are you coming tomorrow?"

Mei Wenhua pushed his glasses: "Come, of course, I haven't watched the national flag rise for a long time, and I also want to accept patriotic edification." Yunyun nodded. Brother Culture's words were really cultured, looking more like a cultured person than her cousin.

After returning to Li Guangfu's house, Mei Wenhua also volunteered: "Brother Ming, it's too dangerous for you to take two alone, and the helmets are not enough. So, I'll help you send them off."

Wei Ming gave the two helmets to the two sisters, and then took Mei's helmet: "It's enough now. You'd better go back early. You have to watch the flag-raising tomorrow, don't fail to get up."

This kid's Sima Zhao's heart was already known to everyone. Wei Ming had to knock him later, whether he forgot the blind date man who was half a head shorter than Yunyun.

On the way back, Yunyun asked Wei Ming: "Brother Ming, how old is Brother Culture? Am I older than him?"

Wei Ming: "He is one year older than me, definitely older than you."

Wei Hong was strange: "Then why does he call you Brother Ming?"

Wei Ming: "There is an old saying called 'the capable is the brother'."

Wei Hong: "Why do I remember it's 'the capable is the teacher'?"

"The truth is the same."

!

Returning to the Overseas Chinese Apartment, seeing the two little girls staring at the TV, Wei Ming helplessly turned it on and let them watch CCTV for a while.

"Pay attention to the distance, don't get close."

He first entered his bedroom to deal with the traces of Sister Lin's life.

Then he had to teach them how to use the restroom, especially the toilet made them feel very novel.

"Wait until the TV shows snowflakes, then you can sleep." Wei Ming yawned. He wouldn't write today, sleep early.

"What is a snowflake?"

Less than half an hour later, they knew what a snowflake was, and they all felt it was a pity. If the TV program could be put until the early morning, it would be great.

Xiao Hong felt that the light in her brother's house was too bright to create sleepiness, so she went to the study to turn around, wanting to read a book.

Then she saw a sketch in a frame on the table. It was a beautiful big sister, and the place she was in was so familiar, it seemed, it seemed to be the balcony of her brother's house!

So who is she?

But brother was already asleep, and no one could answer this question. Now Xiao Hong couldn't sleep even more.

And Yunyun, who was in the same bed as her, slept sweetly.

There was a chicken-pecking-rice double-bell alarm clock at the head of Wei Ming's bed, a second-hand item he picked up. He didn't use it much usually, and only used it once when he needed to catch a train or a plane.

It came in handy today. It was bright early in Yanjing in July, and the flag-raising was determined by the time the sun rose.

So many people who wanted to watch the flag-raising in the summer of later generations occupied the ground at night. Wei Ming set an alarm clock at three o'clock, and he only slept for five hours in total.

He got up and immediately called Xiao Hong and Yunyun.

Xiao Hong felt that she had just fallen asleep, why was she called up!

"Are you still watching the flag-raising? Hurry up and get dressed!"

Wei Ming estimated that he could arrive at Li Guangfu's house at 3:30, and then everyone would walk together to watch the flag-raising. The walking time was about 40 minutes.

As a result, on Chang'an Street, near Li Guangfu's house, the three of them riding a motorcycle saw a group of elementary school students wearing red scarves.

Wei Ming stopped and took off his helmet, and it was really them. He hurriedly rode to the opposite side.

It turned out that they were also afraid of delaying the flag-raising, so they got up at three o'clock. Only Teacher Li had a watch in the group, and he didn't dare to sleep after midnight.

Yunyun looked at the team and didn't see Brother Culture. It was estimated that he didn't expect it to be so early.

Wei Ming put down Xiao Hong and Yunyun: "Okay, then you walk slowly, I'll put the car away, and I'll chase you later."

When he arrived at Li Guangfu's courtyard, he saw Mei Wenhua looking blank. Where are the people?

Wei Ming glanced at the other courtyard residents who were cursing: "Don't be stunned, they left early. Park the car and run with me."

"Oh, oh."

In a room, Li Guangfu, who was also woken up by the students' expedition, laughed, and then lay down again.

On Chang'an Street, the two ran wildly. Mei gradually became physically exhausted, but he still gritted his teeth and kept up with Wei Ming's pace.

"Brother Ming, is Yunyun not planning to return to her hometown?" He asked.

Wei Ming: "Yes."

"Oh my, that's great. Yunyun is so beautiful, she should stay in the capital. It's a pity to marry an ordinary man after returning to her hometown."

Yunyun in the previous life was indeed a pity.

Wei Ming glanced at Mei who was panting: "Run faster, your physical strength is not good."

Mei Wenhua: "How is it possible? I am from a big courtyard. I have participated in military training with my father's generation since I was a child. It's not that I'm not good, it's just that you are too strong, Brother Ming!"

Wei Ming suppressed the corners of his mouth.

Wei Ming hadn't come here to watch the national flag rise for almost a year since he was reborn, because he had seen it too many times in his previous life.

He originally thought that tourism hadn't risen yet, and population mobility was difficult, so there shouldn't be so many people watching the flag-raising. As a result, there was no good position after arriving.

At this time, he re-evaluated the power of faith. Although the tourism industry hadn't risen much, there were a large number of people coming to Yanjing for work or visiting relatives and friends every day.

Many people didn't know when the next time would be, so they definitely had to come here to see it. For a better position, some even waited from the night.

Of course, some had nowhere to live, so they simply spent the night here and watched the flag-raising.

They arrived at the square at about 4:30, and after less than half an hour, the flag-raising ceremony officially began.

Some elementary school students who couldn't see lifted the younger ones so that they could see more clearly. This scene made Wei Ming particularly moved.

At this time, the sun was jumping and was about to jump out of the horizon. The rising sun, what a hopeful picture!

Wei Ming raised his camera and recorded this scene.

When the national flag was successfully raised, it took a long time for everyone to withdraw from this emotion. Some students even had tears in their eyes.

No need to ask, because they love this land deeply.

After the crowd dispersed, Wei Ming took them to take the first group photo after arriving in the capital. Mei Wenhua operated it, including the two teachers and a driver who were able to enter the frame. It was just that Wei Ming had to wash it many times.

Although their destination "Forbidden City" in the morning was close at hand, they couldn't get in now, so everyone walked back and ate breakfast by the way.

"Since you are in the capital, how can you miss this bowl of hot bean juice? Children, please enjoy it~" In a breakfast shop, Mei Wenhua strongly recommended hometown delicacies. Besides bean juice, there were also fried rings and noodle tea.

Jia Zhengdao, the accountant's family, said honestly: "Is this bean juice rotten?"

Qi Delong, who had drunk this thing, said: "Not rotten, it's this taste, very authentic!"

Shen Xiaobao said seriously: "I understand. The teachers want to tell us that eating bitterness in bitterness is the master of people."

Jia Zhengdao: "But this is smelly."

"The truth is the same, I'm done!" Shen Xiaobao pinched his nose and drank it in one gulp.

Wei Ming, who was eating fried dough sticks and tofu brain, gave a thumbs up. This child can achieve great things.

When returning to the courtyard, Li Guangfu also woke up and asked what the children ate.

"Hey, bean juice is a good thing. I can't leave it every meal."

He giggled and came to Wei Ming's side, whispered to leave him an address, and let him find him after he was busy, on Nanchizi Street in the Forbidden City.

Wei Ming nodded. He wouldn't accompany them to visit the Forbidden City. He was really tired of visiting.

Fortunately, there was Mei Wenhua. It was enough for him to serve as a tour guide, and looking at his appearance, he also liked it.

Afterward, Wei Ming walked to the Forbidden City again. Wei Ming helped them buy tickets and let them go in.

"Teachers and tour guides are in front and behind. Remember that not one can be missing. Finally, wait for me at the North Gate. Okay, go in, stroll slowly, look slowly."

After settling them, Wei Ming turned from Donghua Sect Road and arrived at the place Li Guangfu said. This was a big miscellaneous courtyard, where many people lived. This shouldn't be the house he found for himself, right?

Wei Ming was about to find someone to ask, and Li Guangfu came out from a door.

"Hey, Brother Wei, you finally came." Then he greeted the room, and a young man who looked older than Wei Ming came out, and he was quite delicate.

Yo, it's also an acquaintance!

Li Guangfu first introduced Wei Ming: "This one doesn't need me to introduce, Writer Wei Ming, who is not yet twenty but is famous all over the world."

The other party hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Wei Ming. Without waiting for Li Guangfu to introduce, he reported his name first: "My name is Li Chengru, considered a non-staff member of the People's Art."

Li Guangfu laughed: "He is considered Old Dong, Dong Xingji's disciple. Because of your business, I told him, and he really found out."

"Oh, a disciple of Teacher Dong, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I saw him at the People's Art a few days ago."

Wei Ming was not very familiar with Li Chengru, because his master had passed away for many years when he entered the People's Art, and it was exactly when he was most brilliant in business.

He and Li Guangfu both had the surname Li, and their experiences were similar. His father was a big tycoon in his early years, and later his family fell.

After graduating from high school, Li Chengru entered the drama world, learned Peking Opera, and often went to the People's Art to watch dramas. Later, he served beside Mr. Dong Xingji for many years and got the name of a master and apprentice.

Then he became a classmate of the amateur performance class of the Film Academy with Sister Lin of Wei Ming, and entered the CCTV crew after graduation, and joined the "Journey to the West" crew.

At first, he wanted to play the role of Tang Seng with his beauty. Later, Director Yang Jie looked left and right: "You don't have to be Tang Seng, you can be a production manager. This work has been done for several years."

Afterward, it was the brilliance and decline of doing business in '90.

Facing a big celebrity like Wei Ming, Li

Facing a big celebrity like Wei Ming, Li Chengru was very enthusiastic.

Wei Ming asked with a smile, "That house Old Li mentioned, it wouldn't happen to be your family's, would it?"

Li Chengru shook his head: "Mine is in Nanchizi; that house is in Beichizi. Writer Wei, Brother Guangfu, come with me; that house is really good!"
