Chapter 262

After *Mama, Love Me Once Again* was completed, Wei Ming's life began to become relaxed and pleasant. Usually, he revised manuscripts in the morning and went shopping with Gong Xue in the afternoon. Fortunately, she didn't reach the popularity of Chen Chong and Zhang Yu, so she could still go out with a little cover.

After dinner, when it got dark, the two would secretly go to the old foreign-style house at 12 Huating Road.

The door was locked, and they would only go in to see after confirming that the renovation team had left. There was a bed here now!

However, there was no hot water, so it was still inconvenient. After the event, they had to return to their homes to wash up.

Wei Ming held Sister Xue, whose legs were soft, and asked: "Did Dad say when the house will be renovated?"

Gong Xue: "He said there will be no problem before the New Year."

Wei Ming sighed. Before he went back, he definitely couldn't move in for real.

Originally, Wei Ming thought about revising the manuscript in December before returning to the capital, but a long-distance call from the capital came, and he might have to go back immediately.

The call was from Mei Mei Wenhua, but Wei Ming also heard Seeing Biaozi's voice. It seems *Heroes Out of Youth* has been finished.

"Big Brother!" Mei Mei Wenhua now calls him Big Brother like Xu Yunyun, "Can you return to the capital on the last day of this month? Attend our wedding."

Seeing Biaozi: "Right, attend our wedding."

Wei Ming laughed: "What, went to Sichuan, Seeing Biaozi, you want to marry Xiao Mei?"

Seeing Biaozi: "Go, go, go, it's me and Yanzi getting married, Xiao Mei and your cousin are getting married, we are holding a happy event together."

Wei Ming became serious: "No, why are you joining in the fun? You haven't reached the age yet."

Although Seeing Biaozi is a few months older than Wei Ming, he hasn't reached twenty years old yet.

Mei Mei Wenhua grabbed the phone, his tone full of gloating: "They can't not get married now."

Wei Ming was shocked: "Caused a human life?"

Mei Mei Wenhua: "Can't be wrong, fortunately it was discovered after the movie was filmed, otherwise Yanzi would have to take the baby to film action scenes."

Seeing Biaozi was so ashamed that he couldn't find a place to hide.

Wei Ming asked again: "Then can they get a certificate?"

Seeing Biaozi took the stubble: "I used my connections to change my age, now I'm the same age as Xiao Mei."

Good guy, can it be like this? Must not let Sister Lin and Sister Xue know!

Later, Seeing Biaozi also told Wei Ming that when he returned to the capital, he brought his father and Wei Ming's grandmother's family.

"Now they are living in your courtyard house."

Wei Ming: "Mm, fortunately there is such a courtyard house, then I will go back as soon as possible."

Thinking that two good friends are getting married, and one of them is going to be a father, Wei Ming feels very wonderful.

The next day, Wei Ming finished the revision of 50,000 words, ran to *Harvest* to deliver the goods to Editor Li, and also asked Ba Lao to write a letter of introduction to buy a plane ticket. I don't know if he can buy it in a few days. If not, he can only work hard and take the train.

When he came back, he met the postman waiting for him. He had an overseas letter.

Sending the letter here, it must be Lao Gui!

After signing, Wei Ming couldn't wait to return to the room to open the letter.

What surprised him was that there was a photo in the letter. This seems to be a birthday party. You can still see the remains of the cake on the table.

On the left of the photo is Lao Gui. This nose, these eyes, these eyebrows, at first glance, it is Wei Ping'an's own uncle.

On the right is a woman of the same age as Lao Gui, with average appearance and some vicissitudes on her face. At first glance, it is a bitter life.

And in the middle should be the protagonist of this birthday party, a little girl whose face was covered with cake. Although she couldn't see what she looked like, she was quite tall, her body proportions should be good, and her skin was also very white.

Wei Ming already had some guesses in his heart, and after opening the letter, he was sure. This is Mao Mao Amin who had a birthday a while ago, and Lao Gui also wished Wei Ming a happy birthday.

This photo was taken by Liu Bin. When Lao Gui received Wei Ming's letter from the Magic City, Mao Mao Amin also received Wei Ming's gift, especially that cucurbit flute, which the little girl liked very much and often showed off her talent in front of them.

Lao Gui felt that he would likely have a granddaughter-in-law when he saw Mao Mao Amin's appearance, so he thought about showing Mao Mao Amin's photo to his grandson.

However, he also thought that he hadn't obtained Mao Mao Amin's consent. Maybe people wanted to keep the surprise for A Ming.

So Lao Gui weighed it and sent out this photo of Mao Mao Amin without showing her face.

But seeing the happy and harmonious appearance of the three people in the photo, Wei Ming couldn't help but let his thoughts fly.

"They look like a family of three. This old man wouldn't have taken a fancy to Mao Mao Amin's mother!"

"This little Mao Mao Amin wouldn't be my aunt!"

Wei Ming was shocked in his heart. Old man, you still have a family in Taiwan!

That year, the eldest grandfather brought him back to Taiwan from Korea. After a long treatment, he finally recovered, but he was determined to return to the mainland.

In order to protect himself, the eldest grandfather was also worried that his younger brother would be considered a traitor if he returned to the mainland, so he tried every means to keep him, including a beauty trap.

That is, the biological mother of Wei Ming's little aunt, a young and beautiful little nurse, used some means to let Lao Gui have descendants in Taiwan, delaying his pace of returning.

Until a few years ago, the little aunt went to study in the United States, and Lao Lao Wei ruthlessly left that group of people in Taiwan and went to Hong Kong, one step closer to the mainland.

Next, Lao Gui mentioned this little aunt in the letter.

"I also know about the Jueyuan No. 2 courtyard you mentioned. I believe your great-aunt will also be very gratified after knowing it. At the beginning, in order to protect comrades, I once used your great-aunt's family, causing them to be suspected of communicating with the Communist Party by the Fruit Party, so they had to fight to the United States helplessly. Because of this, your great-aunt has always been angry with me and refused to see me..."

It turns out there was such a past, not only implicated, but also had the property confiscated after liberation. No wonder she never returned to the country.

Lao Gui also wrote: "However, I have already conveyed this matter to her through your little aunt. Although she has resentment towards me, she has always treated your little aunt as her own daughter."

Finally, Lao Gui mentioned the recent situation of Haolilai. However, Liu Bin's undercover work at McDonald's hadn't had a result yet, so he didn't mention it.

Wei Ming collected the letter and immediately bought a plane ticket, and really bought a flight two days later.

Wei Wei Jiefang returned to Yanjing for more than a week. During this time, he obtained a new "official position" - Director of the Beijing Office of Gouzitun.

Two days ago, the old branch secretary Zhou Zhou Xingbang and County Magistrate Qin and others came to Beijing to inspect the Sijiqing Commune. Lao Lao Lao Wei received a call looking for Wei Ming at home, and immediately ran to the Sijiqing Commune to join the fun.

Lao Lao Lao Wei now has money and is deeply respected by the people in his hometown. Originally, he wanted to invite everyone to eat something good in the city, but time was tight and he was politely declined.

But Zhou Zhou Xingbang entrusted him with one thing, which is to keep in touch with the Sijiqing Commune, and after returning, he still has to communicate with them about farming, and it may be conveyed through him by then.

Old branch secretary's original words: "After all, the person we are most familiar with and closest to in Yanjing is you."

Lao Lao Lao Wei was deeply moved. Although he didn't have as much success as Ping'an, he was closer to them in the hearts of the people in his hometown!

After sending off the Ping'an County inspection team, Lao Lao Lao Wei welcomed his mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law.

Because Mei Mei Wenhua is too rich now, he doesn't care about this bit of train ticket money at all, so he invited everyone, and also exchanged a lot of Yanjing grain coupons in advance.

Grandmother, uncle, aunt, Pingping, Xiao Fangfang, and aunt, uncle, Long Long Xiaoyang, a total of eight people.

With so many people, they definitely couldn't live in the Overseas Chinese Apartment. Lao Lao Lao Wei settled the people other than his mother-in-law in the courtyard house in Beichizi, and also pulled a cart of honeycomb coal to keep warm, letting them burn it openly.

Wei Ming's place had heating installed during renovation. Although it wasn't as warm as the Overseas Chinese Apartment, it couldn't be called cold, and Yanjing hadn't reached the coldest time yet.

Now the most important thing for the couple is to take good care of the relatives from Sichuan and let this wedding be completed successfully.

Early in the morning, Lao Lao Lao Wei and Xu Xu Shufen rode a bicycle to the courtyard house. After knocking on the door, Long Long Xiaoyang opened the door from inside.

Then he saw a little yellow dog drilling out from between Long Long Xiaoyang's legs and hugging Lao Lao Lao Wei's leg.

This is the young Tu Song dog he brought back from Shandong after overcoming difficulties. He had already cultivated feelings in Shandong before, waiting for his son to name it. Now it's called "Zuo Zuo Zuo".

Long Long Xiaoyang said: "Second Aunt, Uncle, have you eaten? We are about to eat."

Lao Lao Lao Wei said angrily: "What are you still cooking? I'll invite you to eat fried liver."

"Brother-in-law, no trouble, it's already done." Aunt welcomed them out with a smile, and beside her was Xu Yunyun who was helping her.

The family members all came. Xu Yunyun also lived separately from her husband, and would be married from here on the wedding day.

After not seeing each other for nearly a year, her parents and younger brother and sister almost didn't recognize her when they arrived yesterday. This girl who was fashionable and had a blessed face was actually their Xu Yunyun!

Wei Ming's uncle and aunt were very glad about the decision to let Xu Yunyun come to the north. This child could be considered to have completely escaped the sea of suffering.

There were still a few days before the wedding. Besides taking them around, today was also to buy dowry for Xu Yunyun.

Second Aunt had already bought some for her before, and she also had a good salary, so she could add some more.

After they walked around, it was almost dark, and they found Mei Mei Wenhua waiting at the door.

Lao Lao Lao Wei smiled: "Xiao Mei, you can't meet before marriage, don't you know? Can't bear to be separated for a day?"

Mei Mei Wenhua said: "Uncle, I have serious business. Xu Yunyun, your wedding dress is here."

"Wedding dress? What is a wedding dress?" Everyone was confused.

Mei Mei Wenhua, who is in the clothing business, now has a certain understanding of domestic and foreign fashion trends.

He said: "It's what the bride wears when getting married. We plan to take a set of wedding photos."

This is not to say in the country, at least in Yanjing, it might be unique.

Xu Yunyun was also very looking forward to it. She had seen wedding dresses in fashion magazines mailed by Mao Mao Amin long ago. That kind of white lace felt completely different from the plain white at funerals, giving people a very holy and beautiful feeling.

Lao Lao Lao Wei asked: "Then who will take it?"

Mei Mei Wenhua said: "The master of Dabe Photo Studio found by Seeing Biaozi, then I will find China."

Dabe and China are both well-known old brands of photo studios, both on Wang Fujing.

Lao Lao Lao Wei thought of his little brother and immediately said: "What are you looking for them for? I'll introduce you to a person who is particularly awesome at taking pictures. People are professional at filming movies."

In everyone's view, the photographer who films movies must have better technology than the one who takes photos. Hearing Lao Lao Lao Wei say this, Mei Mei Wenhua immediately asked Uncle to help contact.

"But the person I'm talking about has a relatively difficult family situation. You have to give people more money when the time comes."

"Money is not a problem, the key is the effect."

Lao Lao Lao Wei: "That's done, I'll run to the Film Academy tomorrow."

Film Academy.

Liu Liu Rulong just received a letter from Gong Ying in the Magic City.

They had already confirmed their relationship in the letter, and the letters were endless.

In this letter today, A Ying talked about her and her father designing an old foreign-style house, and also revealed that this house was the love nest for Wei Ming and his sister in the future.

"But Dad doesn't know."

The focus of A Ying's letter was her confused father and the leaky little cotton-padded jacket second sister. However, what A Long thought was, A Ming has already bought so many houses, when can he buy a house for himself and A Ying.

A set of *Heroes Out of Youth* comics earned him more than 1,000 yuan, and also brought out a four-person team. He had more money than most students, but it was far from enough to start a family.

Now he can only count on the comic that goes out that A Ming mentioned.

Just thinking, the sound of a bicycle bell appeared in front. A Long immediately flashed to the side, but the car stopped in front of him.

"A Long, what are you thinking about?"

A Long looked up: "Uncle Wei Jiefang? You, you came to find me?"

Wei Wei Jiefang: "Not looking for you, looking for Zhang Zhang Yimou, help me shout."

"Oh, okay."

The old man Zhang Zhang Yimou, who had just finished class, was called over, and called Wei Wei Jiefang "Uncle" with a simple face.

Lao Lao Lao Wei told Zhang Zhang Yimou about taking wedding photos. Didn't expect him to know what a wedding dress was. After hearing the price Lao Lao Lao Wei helped him talk down, he excitedly held Lao Lao Lao Wei's hand.

"Uncle, thank you so much! I just want to change my camera! This time it's finally settled!"

After telling Old Zhang about this, Lao Lao Lao Wei told Liu Liu Rulong about the wedding.

"Remember to go when the time comes. It's said to be held in Tuanjiehu. You should know the address, right."

"I know, Uncle."

Old Zhang handled things very quickly. He followed Lao Lao Lao Wei into the city that day and took photos for them, and there were many outdoor scenes. In addition, Wei Ming's courtyard house was renovated quite well, and was also used to take some indoor and courtyard scenes.

Although it was very cold to take outdoor scenes in wedding dresses at the end of November, fortunately, the weather was beautiful, with blue sky and white clouds, and the sky was clear for thousands of miles. The two newcomers were also beautiful and frozen.

And when seeing the finished photos the next day, Mei Mei Wenhua directly called these 100-plus yuan spent too worth it!

These photos are simply works of art, especially those taken outdoors, where the two people and the environment are integrated just right.

Then he immediately ran to Seeing Biaozi with the photos to show off.

Seeing Biaozi and Yanzi were together. Their wedding photos were taken in the very conventional way. Seeing Biaozi wore a Zhong Shan suit, Yanzi wore a red suit, and they were all taken sitting indoors, which was very uncreative.

Seeing the wedding photos of Xiao Mei and Xu Yunyun, Yanzi didn't say anything yet, but Seeing Biaozi first couldn't do it. Getting married is only once in a lifetime, so there must be no regrets. What others have, they must also have.

So the next day they also found Zhang Zhang Yimou, at the same price, and also wanted to take outdoor scenes.

Zhang Zhang Yimou: It seems I can buy a better camera!

It's just that they didn't have a wedding dress, but Seeing Biaozi's mother took out a red wedding dress with gold embroidery, somewhat similar to the Xiuhe suit of later generations, which was also very beautiful and festive, and the Chinese style was more in line with Yanzi's temperament.

When Zhang Zhang Yimou was taking photos for them at the Summer Palace, Wei Ming carried his bag back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment and saw his grandmother holding the police chief sunbathing.

After a month of absence, the police chief grew a circle, his hair was shiny, and it looked like he hadn't eaten less fish or meat.

Cats seem to like the elderly very much. The police chief is now closer to his grandmother than Wei Ming.

Fortunately, his grandmother didn't think so. Seeing her eldest grandson return, she put the police chief on the radiator and pulled him to talk, listening to him talk about the fresh things in the Magic City.

"Grandmother, my parents are all out, why don't you go?"

"What for? I've been to those places, no need to spend money again. Let your uncle and the others see the world."

Wei Ming: "Then you stay in Yanjing with us for the New Year this time, okay? Xu Yunyun is also here."

His mother had already told his grandmother about this. Although she felt that she was adding trouble to the children, Xu Xu Shufen was very persistent, and his grandmother finally agreed.

"Okay, are you hungry? I'll heat up the dishes for you, and you can eat the chili sauce brought by grandmother."

"With grandmother's chili sauce, what else do I need? Just heat me a steamed bun," Wei Ming smiled.

Grandmother had also made chili sauce in Gouzitun before, and the taste was similar to what his mother made, but the chili sauce grandmother made in her hometown had a more unique flavor, which might be caused by the different chili producing areas. Wei Ming felt that grandmother's was better.

After eating, Wei Ming went to flip through the phone book next to the phone. There were records of his absence during this period, and his mother recorded them very carefully.

The most recent one is the solicitation of manuscripts from *October* magazine. It seems that the Four Great Dan also want to collect Wei Ming.

In addition, it was the Beijing Er Yingchang, which notified the completion of *Heroes Out of Youth*. According to his mother's records, it was written on it that the post-production was taken to Hong Kong, so the Hong Kong team like Tsui Hark had returned to Hong Kong.

There was actually a phone call from Wu Tianming of the film studio. Lao Lao Lao Wei answered it at the time, so there was no record, and I don't know what was said.

In the evening, Lao Lao Lao Wei and Xu Xu Shufen came back, and Wei Ming knew this.

"Oh, Wu Dao wants to film *A Terra-Cotta Warrior*, he knows Wei Wei Kuangren is you, so he wants to discuss the adaptation with you. He didn't find you on a long-distance call, he said he would write a letter to the Magic City side and talk to you in detail in the letter."

Didn't expect Wu Dao to be able to look at *A Terra-Cotta Warrior*. He is a very firm art film director. He has never filmed any commercial films in his life. His posthumous works are all outdated themes like *Song of the Phoenix*. This time he wants to catch up with the trend?

However, Wu Dao just finished a work, so he shouldn't be in a hurry. I'll talk to him by letter when the time comes.

The day after tomorrow is the wedding of Xiao Mei and Seeing Biaozi. The next day, Wei Ming visited the two newcomers in Tuanjiehu and saw the marriage certificate Seeing Biaozi got after changing his age.

Wei Ming was very curious: "Seeing Biaozi, will your old friends like Li Lianjie come when you get married?"

Seeing Biaozi said: "I went to invite them. Except for Xiao Li, basically everyone can come. Xiao Li is filming *Shaolin Temple* right now, heard it won't be finished until next year."

He had a competitive heart and asked again: "Brother Ming, which one do you think is more powerful, theirs or ours?"

Wei Ming smiled: "Do you think I'm a half-immortal? I haven't seen what they filmed, how would I know? However, if the filming time is so long, it might be more refined. But if ours is released early, it will definitely have the first-mover advantage. In addition, a good movie must also have a catchy theme song. I'll help write one later."

After talking about the wedding tomorrow, Wei Ming said again: "There is one more thing, Zhu Lin will attend your wedding tomorrow."

They knew that Zhu Lin's "house" was also in Tuanjiehu, and indicated that they would definitely treat Zhu Lin as a distinguished guest.

Wei Ming said again: "Gong Xue will also attend."
