Chapter 398
There were 13 people in total, and the dishes ordered were relatively hard, a combination of Chinese and Western food, plus not many drinks, totaling 285 yuan, still paid in foreign exchange certificates.
Not only Tie Ning has to write a diary, but others also have to record a stroke. Wei Ming is right. After labor, the food is particularly fragrant and has an endless aftertaste.
They will definitely not forget this meal. It is the most expensive meal they have eaten so far in their lives. The per capita is equivalent to the monthly income of a worker who has just entered society.
And A-Long also invited them to attend his wedding on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, which is also held here.
Is it possible to have this kind of luxurious delicacy twice within a month?!
Didn't see it, Teacher Wei's friends are also powerful!
They said that if they are still in Shanghai by then, they will definitely come to ask for a cup of wedding wine.
A-Long sent Wei Ming and the two away. However, after the car stopped, they saw the lights on in the Western-style house.
Wei Ming: "Did we forget to turn off the lights when we left?"
Wei Hong: "No, electricity is so expensive, how could we forget? And we didn't turn it on at all."
Suddenly, she covered her mouth in fear: "Could it be that there are thieves! Home invasion and robbery?"
The driver of the Peace Hotel didn't say a word. If it were in Yanjing, the driver would have said a few words.
Wei Ming said: "Master, please don't leave first. You wait here, I'll go in and see."
A few minutes later, Wei Ming came out: "Master, it's okay, you go back."
"Brother, what's the situation inside?" After the person left, Wei Hong asked.
Wei Ming: "Little Aunt is here."
"Ah!?"
Also her assistant Li Zhi.
This time, Little Aunt came over to discuss the production of the *Transformers* TV animation. Li Zhi is from Shanghai and also misses her grandmother, so she brought her along.
"Little Aunt!" Wei Hong shouted excitedly to show intimacy.
Wei Wei Lingling hugged the little girl. They also had luggage with them, and they had just arrived.
"Originally, I just wanted to come over and see the old house. I'll stay in a hotel later. Didn't expect it to be cleaned so cleanly, so I can live here directly, and by the way, find the treasure left here."
"Treasure?!" Wei Hong was even more excited. There is such a good thing.
"That's not urgent, Ming," Wei Wei Lingling stretched her waist, "Tell me where I sleep first."
Wei Ming: "There are enough beds, but there are not so many new quilts. It's a bit cold in Shanghai at this time."
Wei Wei Lingling: "Then what should we do."
Wei Ming: "It seems I can only stay in another place for a while."
Li Zhi immediately thought of the old Western-style house that Gong Xue bought. Could it be that he is going to stay there for a while?
She immediately said: "It doesn't matter if there are not enough quilts. I can go back to grandma's house, and it's not safe for three girls to live here."
Wei Ming: "Then is it safe for you to go home alone?"
Li Zhi: He is caring about me!
In the end, Wei Ming decided to trouble A-Long, went out and made a phone call, asked him to bring a few more quilts, if the Peace Hotel sells them, he can buy them directly from there, and then let him live with himself tonight.
Then Wei Ming called the old Western-style house on Huating Road again. No one answered. It seems that Sister Lin should be living in the guesthouse.
"A-Long is here. It just so happens that I brought the content of the first episode of *Transformers*. You come over and see if there is any place that needs to be changed. Little Ming, you come too."
Originally, I asked A-Long to come over to sleep, but as a result, talking about work, the three of them burned up and chatted until very late.
"The content of this episode is quite substantial. It can be split into two issues when published in the magazine. 20 minutes of content is enough, and the drawing style is not bad. I have been helping Niu Lao adjust since I left Hong Kong, and it didn't run crooked later."
Wei Wei Lingling asked: "Then when are we going to visit the Shanghai Animation Er Yingchang."
Wei Ming: "It's only the third day of the Lunar New Year now, they haven't gone to work yet. At least wait until after A-Long's wedding. You can play well in Shanghai these few days."
Wei Wei Lingling: "I don't feel like there's anything fun. It's not as lively and festive as Chinatown in San Francisco during the New Year."
Wei Ming laughed: "What do you know as an outsider? You can ask Xiao Li where it's fun."
Li Zhi, as a local, also had little interest in the Spring Festival in Shanghai: "Just go to Yuyuan to visit the temple fair, there is nothing else. It's not as lively as Hong Kong usually."
Xiao Hong also joined the discussion: "Then let's watch a movie. I haven't watched *Rickshaw Boy* yet."
"Oh, besides *Rickshaw Boy*, there will be a *Shaolin Temple* coming out soon," Wei Ming looked at Li Zhi, "Have you seen it in Hong Kong?"
Li Zhi said: "Haven't seen it yet, but it is indeed very popular. Even Jackie Chan's *Dragon Lord* was suppressed."
Wei Ming strongly recommended: "You can watch it, it is indeed very excellent."
Li Zhi invited: "Then you come together."
Wei Ming: "I, I don't have time."
He still has to go to the Gong family to give betrothal gifts with A-Long tomorrow.
At night, Wei Ming lay with A-Long. A-Long tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, then pulled Wei Ming: "Brother Ming, A-Ying is going to wear a wedding dress when she gets married!"
Wei Ming closed his eyes: "Brought from Hong Kong?"
"Yes, and she designed it herself."
"Can even design a wedding dress, progress is very fast."
A-Long: "The main thing is to refer to the set of Princess Diana's wedding, but there is no such long tail. You will know when the time comes, it is especially beautiful! You must help us take a few photos when the time comes."
"No problem, but my photography skills are still a bit worse than Old Zhang's. It's a pity, he went back to his hometown for vacation at this time."
A-Long: "I think no matter how good the photography is, it's not as good as a moving wedding, so I plan to use a video recorder to record it when I return to Hong Kong."
"This idea is good. You can take it out and look at it when you are old. What video recorder to use? Rent a camera directly and shoot a movie-like texture."
A-Long also became excited: "Good, good, just do it!"
Wei Ming: "Simply don't wait until you return to Hong Kong, just here. I will go to the Shanghai Er Yingchang to borrow equipment after sending the betrothal gifts tomorrow. Although the film is planned, we can borrow it first and then return it to them after returning to Hong Kong."
"Brother, it's all up to you tomorrow!" A-Long excitedly held Wei Ming's hand. Now he couldn't sleep even more.
The next day, Wei Ming climbed out of bed, and A-Long had just fallen asleep not long ago.
When he was stretching his muscles by the window, he saw Little Aunt carrying a shovel. The key is that she was still wearing the style of a city beauty, which was very split.
"Little Aunt, what are you doing?"
"Digging for treasure. Are you coming?"
Wei Ming hurriedly went downstairs. Xiao Hong was already ready in the living room, holding a hammer. Li Zhi was not there. She went to see her grandmother early in the morning.
The Wei family trio arrived at the negative first floor. All the lights were turned on. This place was empty. The things from the original unit were placed here before, but now they have been cleared away.
"It should be this room," Wei Wei Lingling said, "The floor tile in the middle, here!"
"Wait a minute," Wei Ming blocked, "How do we divide it after digging it out?"
Wei Wei Lingling: "Whoever likes what will take it, and leave the rest to your father and Brother Ping'an, how about that."
The three laughed, and they were all very okay.
Wei Ming took the big hammer from Xiao Hong, first smashed the floor tiles, exposed the ground below, and then used a shovel to dig and dig and dig into the depths.
"Dug it, I see wood!"
But the box seems to be bigger than that broken floor tile, and the bricks have to be smashed to take the box out.
"Why don't we stop here today, A-Long and I still have to give betrothal gifts." Wei Ming stopped in time.
Wei Wei Lingling: "Fine, then Xiao Hong and I will go watch a movie."
Wei Ming went upstairs to wake up A-Long, and then first went to the Peace Hotel to find his parents, and then went to the Gong family.
This alley of the Gong family is crowded with people who want to watch the fun. When they saw two people coming out of the car, carrying so many things, they discussed one after another: "So many betrothal gifts, not socialist at all." "Worthy of being a Hong Kong son-in-law!" "Let me see, which of these two is the Gong family son-in-law?"
Wei Ming dubbed: Both are, both are.
Sister Xue was also at home. Seeing her lover back, her heart was happy, as if he was here to give her betrothal gifts.
Wei Ming hurriedly pulled her aside: "Is the Shanghai Er Yingchang not at work today?"
"Yes, but the crew didn't stop. I didn't go because I didn't have my scenes."
"Oh, that's trouble. I want to find the Shanghai Er Yingchang to borrow a camera and film."
"Ah?"
Then Wei Ming said his idea of using movie equipment to record the wedding.
"Is the cost very high?"
"Your brother-in-law is not short of money either."
"But do you know how to use a camera?"
Wei Ming smiled evilly, and the corners of his mouth were Nike-shaped: "My skill is no worse than those students at the Film Academy. After all, I have participated in so many crews, and you also know my learning ability. It's not like I learn it as soon as I learn it."
"Go say this to math."
Ah! Wei Ming was poked in the sore spot. If it weren't for the Gong family, he would definitely have to fight back to Sister Xue's itchy spot.
