Chapter 693: How did "home" come about?
On Saturday afternoon, in the apartment in Wudaokou, Yaya was helping Li Xiangping with her luggage.
"How many days will it take to go to Japan this time?"
Li Xiangping didn't hear it, he was looking through a business plan------- after Li Da Tuhao's success in "Galaxy Bay", he is now a little inflated, ready to officially enter commercial real estate, and the first project he is ready to build is the hit that Li Xiangping recommended to him two years ago.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!"
"Huh? The final is a three-way chess, so you said it should be a few days. ”
"Humph!"
Hearing that his girlfriend's tone was a little unkind, Li Xiangping hurriedly said: "By the way, when will your new drama start filming, there will be no variables, right?" Hong Kong dramas, how could they fall on your head. ”
"The contract has been signed, and it will be started next month."
Seeing Yaya's face, Li Xiangping struck: "You just have a dozen soy sauces, and you don't know what to be proud of, not to mention Hong Kong dramas?" Don't look at the scenery now, it's actually the afterglow before sunset, it won't take long..... well, it's only two or three years of life, and then Hong Kong dramas will be the same as you, completely reduced to soy sauce. ”
"You!"
Yaya doesn't know what it's like now, she now feels really tired of falling in love with this Go player, sometimes he can make himself happy for a long time with one sentence, and then he can make himself angry to death in the next sentence.
Yaya now feels that her current joys, sorrows, and sorrows seem to have been controlled by this person.
"Why do you say that Hong Kong dramas only have two or three years to live?"
"Huh."
Li Xiangping showed a strange smile------ the reason why he suddenly had a feeling just now was that he remembered Mr. Guanxi's door, and that seemed to happen in 08, right?
Although there are other deeper reasons for the decline of Hong Kong dramas, it is not even an exaggeration to say that it is inevitable, but I have to admit that the broken thing is like a watershed, a sign, marking that the once deified Hong Kong film and television was officially shot down to the dust, and then trampled under the feet of mainland film and television.
Of course, that hasn't happened yet, so people like Yaya will still be proud to participate in a Hong Kong drama.
Although Li Xiangping knew in his heart that she couldn't be blamed for this, after all, the entire social environment was like this, but who made Li Xiangping a traverser, he felt that this thing couldn't be endured, how could his woman still have such wrong thoughts?
But just as he was thinking about how to do his girlfriend's ideological work, he was surprised that the doorbell of the apartment rang.
Yaya was startled at the time: "Who?" ”
Li Xiangping was also very surprised, because he rarely came here, let alone guests, even if there were few people who knew this: "I don't know, I rarely have people here, so I just want to ...... Cai Shanshan and others."
When Li Xiangping said the word Cai Shanshan, he blamed himself for being cheap, and said in his heart that he was so careless, why did he mention this name at this time?
Sure enough, after Yaya heard this, her face immediately sank, and she stared at Li Xiangping with a "sure enough" look.
Li Xiangping forced a smile: "I mean she knows that I live here, but she didn't say it...... If you don't believe it, go and help me open the door, it must be Zhao Daokai again. ”
As a result, Yaya really ran over to open the door, and even at this time, she forgot to see who was outside first, and then when she opened the door, she was so frightened that her face turned dirty:
"Ahh Mr. Zhao .....Mr. Zhao ....."
The one who came to the door today turned out to be Zhao Daokai's father Zhao Jiadong.
Seeing that it was Yaya who opened the door, Zhao Jiadong was of course very surprised, but an old fox like him, of course, could not be frightened like Yaya, he was silent on the surface:
"Hah! It turned out to be an embroidered piano, why did you come to Xiangping to play, what about Xiangping people? ”
At this time, Li Xiangping also greeted him: "Uncle Zhao." ”
Zhao Jiadong first threw Li Xiangping a look, and his eyes were clearly saying: You kid, I said why did you strongly recommend this girl to play the embroidery piano in the first place, but he said in his mouth:
"Xiangping, where is your phone? Why don't I answer my phone for a long time? ”
"My phone ......"
Li Xiangping habitually looked at Yaya, and Yaya still looked like she was "bumped into adultery":
He was shocked and said in a very small voice: "No, it's out of power, it's charging." ”
Seeing Zhao Jiadong's "sure enough" look, even Li Xiangping was a little embarrassed this time, in order to hide the embarrassment, he hurriedly said to Zhao Jiadong:
"By the way, Uncle Zhao, are you in such a hurry to find me?"
Zhao Jiadong's eyes widened: "I said you kid, it's really a noble person who forgets things now, didn't I tell you last week, I'm going to take you to do something today." ”
Li Xiangping complained in his heart, and said in his heart that I Li Daqisheng have a lot of big things to do, and you didn't say anything specifically last time, where did I get up all of a sudden.
Of course, I complained in my heart, and naturally there was another rhetoric on my lips:
"Hehe, what kind of noble person am I, Uncle Zhao, you are the real noble, by the way, Sister Yaya, you may not know it, you can win the role of Xiuqin, that is, my Uncle Zhao insists on the initiative, don't you keep saying that you want to thank that person in person, now that the real person is here, you don't say thank you in person."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Jiadong didn't bother to watch the two young people act, he first had a polite look with Yaya, and then said directly to Li Xiangping:
"Xiangping, let me tell you, today's matter is very important, you go and clean up now, and then accompany me to meet someone."
"What the hell is going on?"
"Hehe, Uncle Zhao will take you to meet the world today." Speaking of this, Zhao Jiadong took a look at the table:
"Hurry up, we'd better leave within 10 minutes, we've already made an appointment to meet at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it's not good to be late."
Speaking of this, he turned to Yaya again and said, "By the way, since Yaya is also here today, why don't you wait for the next one." ”
Li Xiangping expressed contempt for Zhao Jiadong's hypocrisy, and said in his heart that if you really want her to go, then don't say anything "or go too", and let her go directly in an affirmative tone.
Sure enough, after Yaya heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand:
"No, no, I, I'm just here to play, horse, I have something to go soon......"
Yaya really ran away immediately, but before she left, Li Xiangping still threw the other party a look that she could understand: You also have the key to this apartment, so let's pack my luggage for me and wait for me to come back.
A few minutes later, Li Xiangping got into Zhao Jiadong's car, and when he was in the car, Li Xiangping couldn't help but ask again: "Uncle Zhao, where are we going?" ”
"I said that I will take you to see the world," Zhao Jiadong said with a smile: "No. 51 Xidan Velvet Hutong, you know that place, right?" ”
"Ahh Go to that place? ”
Zhao Jiadong glanced at Li Xiangping: "Broken place? Your kid's tone is not small, there is a Chinese club, one of the top private clubs in this area of the capital, how can you become a broken place? ”
"Hehe, isn't that just a place to pretend to be forced, I said Uncle Zhao, you are really depraved now, and you still see the world? What's so nice about a quadrangle, if you don't go, you let me down. ”
"What's wrong with the courtyard? That's a representative building of Chinese folk houses, well, I'm too lazy to tell you, you just play Go, you definitely don't know this. ”
Li Xiangping said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, you have no culture, the courtyard also represents architecture, who told you this." ”
"Isn't that what they all say now?"
"Hehe, you believe what others say, Uncle Zhao, do you know where the word "home" in our Chinese character comes from? ”
"Family? What, what does that mean? How did it come about? ”
"You take this word apart, there is a treasure cover on the top, and a pig on the bottom, so our ancestors think that only if there is a pig under the house, this can be called "home", so from this point of view, if you really want to choose the representative of the national residence, in fact, the stilted buildings in the southwest are more representative than the courtyard, do you say? ”
Zhao Jiadong was stunned for a moment, and he glanced at Li Xiangping again:
"Hey, Xiangping, you can do it, do you still teach this in the Department of Philosophy of Peking University?"
Li Xiangping pretended to be forced: "Hehe, this still needs to be taught, philosophy?" The source of all science, so these things don't need to be taught to me, okay, no kidding, Uncle Zhao, you still have to tell me, why did you take me to that place. ”
was hit by such a small blow as Li Xiangping, Zhao Jiadong no longer dared to say such words as "seeing the world":
"Alas, it's not that I want to go, isn't this a strong man caught by your father, it was he who asked me to take you to that place."
"My dad?"
Li Xiangping was skeptical: "Impossible, right? My dad will let you take me to the high-end club? ”
"It's not a walk, your dad asked me to do something for him, and then asked me to call you up and go to that place to meet someone."
"Why do you have to call me when you see someone?"
Zhao Jiadong did not answer the first question first, but said to Li Xiangping:
"Xiangping, since you said that China will be a broken place, it seems that you are no stranger to there, then do you know who the current owner of that courtyard is?"
"I know a little bit, it seems to be a Hong Kong man surnamed Deng, right?"
"That's it, you don't know that he has an identity related to you?"
"Come on, what ..... do he have with Hong Kong and me!!"
At this time, Li Xiangping really reacted: "That..... that, Mr. Deng......"
Zhao Jiadong laughed:
"That's right, the owner of the clubhouse is still a teacher in the Department of Philosophy of Peking University, I see that you don't usually have much classes at all, and you don't even know your own teacher."
Li Xiangping smiled embarrassedly, although the teacher was only a guest teacher, but as a sophomore, he even forgot about the teachers of his department, which was of course not a glorious thing.
Since there is this kind of origin, it seems that there is a reasonable explanation for why Zhao Jiadong brought himself, but who are he going to meet?
"Uncle Zhao, who are you seeing today?"
Seeing Li Xiangping chasing after him again, Zhao Jiadong showed a strange smile:
"Go see a woman." Zhao Jiadong explained to Li Xiangping:
"Isn't your dad going to partner with Lao Xie to build that shopping mall in Jianguomen now, and now he has something to ask for someone else......"
"Ask for that woman?"
"Yes, because that woman has the same surname as me, so your dad has to let me go."
Hearing Zhao Jiadong say this, Li Xiangping gradually captured something, and after figuring it out, he exclaimed:
"Yo! Could it be, Hua Shuai's family, Hua Shuai's family...... That aunt?"
Zhao Jiadong glanced at Li Xiangping in surprise:
"Hey, it seems that you haven't learned this philosophy in vain, and you can even guess this."
When the two chatted like this, they had already come to the door of No. 51 Xidan Velvet Hutong.
