Chapter 37 Rumors "Are you sure you are a couple? No...
"Are you sure you are in a relationship and not just a gangster?"
At this time, you can't just say you are dating. It is a very formal term that requires the approval of both parties, even the approval of both parents.
"I don't know about that. Anyway, Fenghuo told me that this guy has been coming home later and later recently. One time, he saw Fengshou walking side by side with a woman on the road."
Li Fengshou followed her to Beiping, and because she joined the crew, she couldn't bear to see anything happen to him.
Li Daohua first found Li Fenghuo and asked him, "Is the woman you are talking about a woman with a chubby face, a pointed chin, and not short?"
"How do you know?"
Of course she knew who that was. She was the heroine of the movie and also the wife of Li Fengshou in the play.
Even when she was on the crew, she didn't notice anything fishy between the two of them.
"Ah? You didn't realize this? I thought you knew. The entire crew basically realized it. You should try to persuade him. He is not someone you can easily mess with."
The next day, Li Daohua paid special attention to Li Fengshou. She didn't find it normal. She didn't see any contact between the two of them on the crew.
At lunch, the two of them found a place to eat alone. Li Daohua pretended to be casual and said, "I heard someone say that you are dating someone?"
Li Fengshou smiled shyly.
"Did you know that she is ten years older than you?"
"Sister, ten years old is nothing. Our village's Daniu's wife is a generation older than him, and she lives a good life."
"Did you know she was married?"
"She...she's married?"
Li Fengshou didn't even eat his meal and asked Li Daohua how she got married since he had never seen her husband.
"How interesting. She is ten years older than you, yet still looks young and pretty. It would be strange if she is not married. This pretty girl is like a flower. Once it blooms, there will be lots of people surrounding her."
Li Fengshou thought about it and it seemed to be true. Before Li Daohua got married, matchmakers from all over the village often came to her house to arrange marriages for her.
The young men in the village did not dare to act rashly. Most of them had been beaten by Li Daohua when they were young. When they grew up, Li Daohua was also a powerful force in the village.
But Li Daohua didn't expect that her words would prevent Li Fengshou from getting married until he was in his thirties.
During this period, he met many girls who expressed their feelings for him, but he did not dare to have too much contact with them. In the end, he got married with the help of his family's introduction.
"It turns out that she has been married for a long time..." Li Fengshou murmured without eating. He was absent-minded when he went out in the afternoon. After coming back, he locked himself in the room.
Li Daohua kicked the door open: "Who are you planning to starve yourself to death on a hunger strike for?"
Unexpectedly, Li Fengshou hurriedly hid something under the quilt. Li Daohua saw it carefully and it was clearly a bun.
"I thought you had made it. Take it out and eat it. If you're hungry, come out and eat by yourself."
"Sister..." Li Fengshou was a little embarrassed. Isn't that what is written in novels? When you break up with your love, you will be heartbroken for a while. What's more, he had just arrived and such a thing happened, which made people feel embarrassed.
"Sister, actually, I was quite sad at first. I went to meet her in the afternoon and asked her about it. She admitted it. Strangely, after she admitted it, I didn't feel so sad anymore."
"You two have only known each other for a short time, how can there be such a deep love? What's more, do you know what love is? You just like her because she is pretty."
Among the girls in the village, Li Daohua is the prettiest, but there is still a gap between her and the girls in the Peking entertainment circle who were carefully selected from all over the place, not to mention others.
Li Fengshou had just come out of the village and had come into contact with such a beautiful girl. It was normal for him to be distracted.
Even if someone else becomes his wife in the drama this time, he will still be attracted to that person.
The colorful world is fascinating.
"In the village, blind dates are all about getting married once they meet each other. We have known each other for two months, which is not a short time."
"If you do this to me again, you won't get to eat."
"I know, I know."
At the dinner table, Li Fengshou ate the most. He didn't eat much at noon, and in the afternoon he walked out to meet the girl from afar.
When you are seventeen or eighteen years old, you are growing taller and getting hungry quickly.
"Don't sit after eating, walk to digest the food."
Because of this, Li Daohua came to the courtyard by car. The car was a newly bought big blue truck, and Ouyang Yuan and his team had to clean it every day.
"Tomorrow we will make our first trip to help Guo Weimin and his factory deliver goods. This time we will follow the team so that we can get a feel for the process of sending out vehicles.
During this time, the two of them have learned how to drive almost perfectly. When we are on the road, let them try to drive in a deserted place."
"How long will your trip take?"
Ouyang Yuan said depressedly: "It will take more than ten days to go back and forth."
When we come back, school will be about to start, and then we will let Li Fenghuo and others find the source of goods first.
"I'll be busy when you come back."
During the filming period, the Chinese Department of Peking University invited her to give a speech, mainly to let her talk about how to open the door to foreign literature.
After Li Daohua's "Once Upon a Time in Wall Street" became a hit in America, many people tried to develop overseas and submitted their works to Bantam Books.
Some people also imitated Li Daohua's adventures and tried to write similar novels, but they were not successful.
Now, Li Daohua’s second novel is going to be made into a movie, so Peking University wants to hold an exchange meeting to allow her to share her experience and for students to learn more.
She wrote a speech but felt it might not be of much use.
Those who can get into university in this era, especially Peking University, are not easy to deal with, and the teachers who teach them are also willing to teach them everything they know.
The relationship between them is more like that between master and disciple than between student and teacher, and is much closer.
It's not just a speech script. If she encounters unexpected situations, she will have to rely on her own ability to respond. This summer vacation is her preparation time.
Li Daohua knows her own work very well. In plain language, there is nothing much to comment on.
What you need to be wary of are some reading comprehension contestants, who always attack the author in unexpected places, leaving the author speechless.
Although Li Daohua kept emphasizing that her daughter was going to give a speech at Peking University, Li Sanzhu and Lin Jinfeng just refused to listen. They said, "I don't want your opinion, I only care about my opinion."
Lin Jinfeng called back to the county and told everyone that Li Daohua's novel had been made into a movie, and everyone must go and see it when the time comes.
In fact, even if she didn't say it, everyone would go to watch it, because apart from the free open-air movies, they didn't have any other entertainment options.
After coming to Peking, Lin Jinfeng's favorite thing to do was to watch TV. After finishing her work every day, she would watch TV.
This made Li Daohua very worried about her eyesight. If there were not so many programs now, she would probably have to limit Lin Jinfeng's TV watching time every day.
Lin Jinfeng also called her sister-in-law, Li Fengshou's mother, to tell her that Li Fengshou was making movies and had a bright future.
Although the three of them are no longer in Lijiazhuang, there is still news about them in Lijiazhuang.
The summer vacation is coming to an end and students are gradually returning to school. Some students who went out to travel have also returned. They have the widest network of contacts and are well-informed.
They brought back the news that Li Daohua would soon come to their school for a literary exchange, and students from the Chinese Department could participate in the exchange, and the content of the exchange would be foreign literature.
“Why should only those in the Chinese department participate in the literary exchange? Writing is not exclusive to the Chinese department. We also want to participate!”
Some students felt that this was unfair. They had submitted articles to newspapers and magazines, and had them successfully published. They were also very interested in literary creation.
"It's a literary exchange anyway, and the school doesn't say that only students from the Chinese department are allowed to participate. We can go too. We just need to ask for a good time."
There are more than one or two students who are ready to do this.
Li Daohua arrived at Peking University at the agreed time, and Peking University teacher Zhang Ming took her on a tour of Peking University first.
The places visited also include the arranged literary exchange meeting site.
This is a large public classroom with a stepped layout that can accommodate more people.
The exchange meeting was in the afternoon, and there were already students hanging around.
Li Daohua's pen name and books are very famous outside, but few people know her in person. She has been interviewed but has never allowed anyone to take her photo.
After the photo was taken, too many people knew her, making it difficult for her to perform.
When she becomes famous, she will be recognized when she walks on the street. What if one day she accidentally goes crazy in front of her fans, which will affect her image.
Apparently she didn't think she was crazy for arguing with other writers in the newspapers.
The students wandering around the exchange meeting were holding books in their hands, but they were all holding different books. Everyone had different hobbies, and their evaluations of Li Daohua's books were also different.
Some people think that Li Daohua's reform trilogy is the best, especially the last one, "Once Upon a Time in Wall Street". Some people think that her later work "18 Again" feels like a sign of her running out of ideas.
But some people like her "18 Again", thinking that she is not only daring to think, but also a person with ideals and ambitions.
Among these people, Li Daohua also saw someone holding a DVD of "Billionaire".
"Not only the students, we are also looking forward to this exchange meeting. I heard that your new book, "Back to 18" was also published in America. Congratulations."
Li Daohua was surprised. They all knew this, but many people in China didn't know about the American version of "18 Again".
Zhang Ming smiled and said, "I have a friend in America and we often talk on the phone. This is what he told me."
"I guess he didn't tell you the content of 18 Again."
This time it was Zhang Ming's turn to be surprised: "Content? Is it different from what we saw?"
"Of course they are different. This is what I will talk about in the afternoon exchange meeting. The two countries have different cultures, some values and concepts, and the feelings they give people are also different. This is why I wrote two versions of "18 Again"."
