Chapter 172
GG Finally, he smiled faintly at the camera.
Jiang Bai is really too shy. Who can resist seeing such a shy and refreshing boy smiling shyly at the camera?
Jiang Yanyan, who was watching TV, couldn't stand his smile. Her heart felt like it was shot with an arrow. She shouted excitedly, "It's really the little brother! It's really the little brother! The little brother is on TV!"
The old men who were chatting outside heard the shouting inside and said with a smile: "What are they shouting in there?"
Lao Zhonghua turned his head and looked at the main hall of his shop, and asked in confusion: "Why do I hear someone calling Jiang Bai?" He then asked Jiang Bai: "Is he calling you for something?"
Jiang Bai didn't know either, so he got up and went in to see what was going on. The old men continued to sit together and chat.
They are the slowest people in the village to receive information. Everyone who should know about Jiang Bai's movie filming knew about it last night, but the old people were all asleep at that time, so they didn't know anything about it when they got up in the morning. Young people don't like to listen to their old people bragging. For example, Lao Zhonghua's grandson Jiang Xin went to the neighboring city to pick up his girlfriend early in the morning.
As soon as Jiang Bai entered, Jiang Yanyan couldn't hide her surprised cry: "Brother, when did you go to take pictures?"
GG had only been filming for a few days. Jiang Bo thought that he would not be able to film until after the New Year, but he did not expect that he would be able to film so soon. Standing in the dim hall, facing all the girls, he felt at a loss and uncomfortable. He said, "They paid me, so I went to film."
Originally, this GG wasn't going to be released so quickly after it was filmed. The manufacturer saw that the movie "White Snake" was very popular and Jiang Bai was the most famous now. If they didn't release it at this time, would they have to wait until "White Snake" was off the screen and Jiang Bai's popularity died down?
The ggs on CCTV had to queue up, it was not their turn. The ggs on several other TV stations with good ratings were also scheduled for two months later. Only the Z Province TV station could broadcast it. Their factory was in Z Province, and they had connections in the provincial TV station. The provincial TV station itself was a society of personal relationships, where identity relationships were more complicated. That's why they let him jump the queue through the back door and he was on the first day of the new year. The broadcast time was not long. The original gg video was of 30 seconds, but only 15 seconds were left for him. It was during the morning replay time when competition was not too fierce, not the evening prime time. He could not get in during the evening prime time at all.
To watch the full version of the gg video, you have to wait in line and wait for it to be broadcast during prime time.
Jiang Bai hasn't watched the gg video he shot yet. To him, this is just a winter vacation job. He is paid and does whatever he is asked to do. After the shooting, he has nothing to do.
It was a winter vacation job, which was no different from selling clothes, so naturally I had no intention of coming back and telling anyone about it.
Even Jiang Ning didn't know that he had taken such a gg video.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Jiang Bai felt a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Guotai and Jiang Guoping also came in with their freshly cooked pots, "What are you talking about that makes it so lively?"
Jiang Miao said excitedly: "I'm talking about Brother Jiang Bai. He's on TV again. It's Shampoo GG!"
Jiang Guotai, Jiang Guoping and the others all looked at Jiang Bai, their eyes full of approval and interest: "Let's take a look at it too."
They walked to the table and watched TV.
"Oh, GG just went there, so I can't see it now. I'll have to wait about 20 minutes before I can see it again." Jiang Miao said regretfully, "I saw it this morning and wanted to call you to come and see it, but one of you was in the kitchen and the other was in the room, and the door was tightly closed. I didn't know how to tell you."
Jiang's mother and the others came out when they heard the noise and asked what was going on. When they learned that Jiang Bo not only made a movie but also acted in a gangbang, they kept praising Jiang Ning and Jiang Bo for their promising future and said that Jiang Bo might become a big star in the future. Jiang Bo sat there with an embarrassed and ashamed expression on his face.
When Jiang Guotai heard that he couldn't watch it now, he asked Shen Hongyun to take out the alcohol stove, pour alcohol in it, put the pot on the alcohol stove, and said to Jiang Xin: "Daxin, go to your grandmother's house behind you and borrow a table and an alcohol stove."
Fortunately, Jiang Guotai's family has always run a shop. When the house was built, the main hall was built large, leaving enough space for a counter. If the main hall is placed vertically, two tables can be placed there.
Jiang Bai quickly stood up and said, "I'll help you carry it." Then he fled away.
As soon as he left the main hall, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease. Jiang Xin saw him and said with a smile, "I never thought that our village could produce a big star."
Jiang Bai's cheeks turned slightly red, "What star? Not a thing, I just worked during the summer and winter vacations when I was older." His future career plan is not in acting, and he has no interest in acting. He just wants to make some money during the winter and summer vacations.
Jiang Xin asked him what major he was studying in college, and after listening to Jiang Bai he found out that it was mechanics.
Not only do we need to borrow tables, but we also need to borrow benches, and long benches are not enough.
After the tables were brought over, the two men put the two long tables together and placed alcohol stoves on the tables.
Girls watch TV further away from the TV.
It was already past eleven o'clock, and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" had just finished showing. The TV was still on, waiting for Jiang Bai to shoot gg.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every station was filled with a festive and lively scene.
Jiang Guotai brought out another pot and placed it on the alcohol stove. It was cold in the winter, so they drank and ate slowly. Except for some stir-fried vegetarian dishes, Jiang Guotai basically made all kinds of pots.
Hot pot is the most popular food here in winter. You can cook meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, egg dumplings, pounded meat, quail eggs, coriander, etc. When all the hot pots are ready, Jiang Guotai said to Jiang Xin, "Call your grandparents and Grandpa Jiang to sit down. I'll go fry some vegetarian dishes. They'll be ready soon."
When it was time for dinner, the old men on the platform all naturally dispersed and went home to eat. Grandpa Jiang knew that his youngest son and his family were having dinner at Jiang Guotai's house today, so he also put his hands behind his back and slowly went to his eldest son's house to eat.
When Jiang Xin came out, most people on the platform had left.
Jiang Xin's grandfather, Lao Zhonghua and his wife did sit in the seats of honor, but they quickly finished their meal and left. The old lady wanted to take a nap at noon, and the old man continued to chat and brag with others. Only Jiang Guotai, Mayor Jiang, and Jiang's father were left at the dinner table.
Jiang Guotai also took out a bottle of special Moutai that he treasured and was reluctant to drink.
They have the habit of drinking wine during the Chinese New Year. Adults drink rice wine, and children drink sweet fruit wine, port wine, etc. Jiang Guotai also brought back a box of wine and opened it for Jiang Xin, who poured it for the young people at the table one by one.
Jiang Guotai was the first to raise his glass and said, "Come on, let me toast to our college students. Our generation has worked hard to create the conditions, and the next generation will depend on you. I hope you can unite and work together. No matter which industry or field you enter in the future, you can help each other. I wish you a bright future!"
Jiang Guotai, as an elder, did not act like an elder at all. He stood up and toasted the younger generations. Jiang Ning and the others all stood up, with Jiang Xin as the representative saying, "Dad, we will. I also wish Mom and Dad and the two uncles and aunt good health, good fortune, and everything goes well!"
Jiang Miao, Jiang Yanyan and Jiang Bai were not good at talking. The only ones left were Wang Xiyue and Jiang Ning. Wang Xiyue was the future daughter-in-law and Jiang Ning was the youngest. Since Jiang Xin was the representative, Jiang Ning didn't want to talk much. She pretended to be shy and drank the fruit wine in the glass.
Jiang Guotai was a person who loved to praise others. Even when Jiang Ning drank a glass of wine, he happily praised her: "Ning Ning's boldness in drinking, it's obvious that she inherited your parents' huge drinking capacity!"
With just one sentence, all three members of the Jiang family were praised. Even Jiang's mother, who had been feeling a little uncomfortable, showed a relaxed smile on her face and stood up to pour wine for several people.
At this time, Jiang Bai's gg came out again. Jiang Yanyan and Jiang Miao immediately waved to the adults' table in surprise: "Here it comes, here it comes, the little brother's gg is here!"
All the people who were drinking turned around and looked at TV.
Because the video was condensed to only fifteen seconds, Jiang Bai was left with the words "dry scalp, dry and frizzy hair" and so on. He was left looking at his frizzy hair in distress, scratching it as if it was itchy. Then someone threw a bottle of shampoo over and said, "Try horse oil shampoo!"
Then Jiang Bai's hair swayed in the water. He shook the water upwards and swayed left and right.
The boy on TV was handsome, young, and had an abstinent expression on his face, but his body was wet along with his clothes, filled with the temptation of teenage hormones.
Jiang Bai, who saw his gg for the first time, became red all of a sudden.
If there was a hole in the ground nearby at this moment, he would have wanted to bury his head in it.
Especially when I saw his wet shirt, it was so embarrassing.
He couldn't believe it. He was just following the director's request and washing and shaking his hair. He was shivering with cold on the set. It was a normal job. However, through the director's lens and the editor's editing, he looked so hormonal and handsome, completely different from Jiang Bai in the movie.
Jiang Yanyan and Jiang Miao blushed when they saw this.
Fifteen seconds passed quickly. Jiang Guotai laughed out loud after watching it and even commented: "I didn't expect that Bozi looks thin but he has muscles. It's a good shot!"
Mayor Jiang also smiled and said, "When your father was in our brigade, he was also very handsome!" He smiled and said to Jiang's father, "Your children are all better than your father. Not to mention Baizi, even Ningning, he picked out your best qualities. You are really a good president!"
Jiang Yanyan is good in every way except that she is a little chubby.
Strangely enough, except Jiang Ning and Jiang Hehua, most of the people in their third room have round eyes, including Jiang Qinqin, Jiang Yanyan, Jiang Miao and Jiang Bai.
She was chubby and extremely cute when she was a child. All the neighbors around her would hug her and refuse to let go when they saw her. It is white and chubby, with a pair of big black eyes, it is very cute.
But now she is 18 years old, and she is still the same as when she was a child, still fair, tender and chubby. She is cute enough. As a father, he naturally doesn't think there is anything wrong with his daughter being like this. But considering his daughter's future partner, Mayor Jiang is very clear about what people prefer in the marriage market.
However, my daughter is still young and her focus is on studying. Her current task is not to consider love and marriage, but to get into a good university and secure a stable job.
Jiang Yanyan's academic performance is not outstanding, just average. Mayor Jiang also knows her academic performance, so his plan for her is the same as that of Jiang the pianist. He hopes that she can be admitted to a normal university, become a junior high school teacher or a high school teacher, and stay in Wucheng. If he is lucky enough to be promoted to the county, he can subdivided a house in the county, or buy a house, and then live in the same community with his daughter. With his support, no one dares to bully his daughter.
At this moment, seeing the outstanding looks of Jiang Ning and Jiang Bai, even Jiang Miao and Wang Xiyue were very graceful. Only his own daughter, who was obviously one day older than Ning Ning, was still very childish. She picked up a chicken leg and was chewing it attentively.
Jiang's father and mother had never watched Jiang Bai so carefully and seriously. They had seen it once in the cinema before. He was shocked and stunned at that time. Now when he saw Jiang Bai on TV again, he felt full of pride. Looking at his two children beside him, he felt that the whole world was perfect and his heart was filled with pride and pride.
Mother Jiang thought of Jiang Song, who had always been like the little sun among children of the same age. She lowered her eyes, feeling a little sad. She was also worried about the lack of news about her son, and she was absent-minded while eating.
I wanted to sigh, but I knew it was unlucky to sigh on New Year's Day, so I held it back.
But she has never been a person who hides her inner thoughts. Except for Jiang's father, Jiang Yanyan and Jiang Miao, who among these people present is not a shrewd person?
Jiang Yanyan didn't know what Jiang's mother was thinking, and asked Jiang Bai curiously, "Brother, are making movies and appearing on TV very profitable?"
To them, the world in movies and TV is like another colorful fantasy world where everything is beautiful and desirable.
Everyone looked at Jiang Bai curiously, and Jiang's father and mother were also curious about how much money Jiang Bai could earn in a month.
Jiang Bai touched his nose and looked away: "Not much money."
Jiang Yanyan didn't know about the Jiang family. She was the only daughter in the family and had a very innocent personality. She said coquettishly, "Hey, just tell me~!" She guessed, "Do you have three hundred yuan?"
Jiang Bai's eyes flashed, he picked up the wine glass, drank strategically, put down the glass and nodded: "Yes."
Jiang Yanyan exclaimed, "Wow!"
Her father's salary is only over 300 yuan, so making movies is really profitable!
Jiang Xin said doubtfully, "It should be more than that, right? There must be at least five hundred."
Jiang Guotai has accumulated a large amount of initial wealth in this era, otherwise he would not have been able to grab the project of building the highway. In their eyes, five hundred yuan is nothing. Sometimes they spend more than five hundred yuan when treating people to a high-end meal.
Jiang Guotai wanted to train his eldest son to be his successor in the future, so he would sometimes bring Jiang Xin along on important occasions and when he met some important people.
Although Jiang Xin had no experience in the film and television industry, Jiang Guotai knew people at the city TV station, so he had the necessary knowledge.
Jiang's mother was also very satisfied with Jiang Bai's part-time job to earn money during the winter and summer vacations, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
Jiang Bai lowered his eyelashes, picked up the wine glass, smiled and stood up to toast everyone, saying: "I only worked during the summer and winter vacations, how can I compare with uncle and Daxin? Uncle and Daxin are the ones who really made a fortune. With this glass of wine, I wish uncle and Daxin a prosperous career, and I also wish fourth uncle a successful career and a high position. I wish my aunt, aunt and my mother to be forever beautiful and young, and everything goes well!"
The elders didn't need to stand up; the younger ones all stood up, smiled and drank, and after a few words, they moved on from the matter.
Jiang's father and mother all thought that Jiang Bai only earned three to five hundred yuan by making a movie or something, because the general salary at that time was only three to five hundred yuan. Only Mayor Jiang and Jiang Guotai smiled on their faces, knowing in their hearts that this was something Jiang Bai was unwilling to say. Since he was unwilling to say it, the amount must be much more than that.
When Jiang Bai was in high school, he thought that after graduation, he would be satisfied if he could earn 300 yuan a month. Then when he came to Jiang Ning's store, Jiang Ning paid him 10 yuan a day plus commission, which was almost 500 yuan a month. He was very happy and satisfied. Later, he helped Jiang Ning sell clothes every day, and sometimes he could earn 3,000 to 4,000 yuan a day. He thought that after graduation, he could get a salary of 800 yuan a month, but he couldn't even think about it. After all, although his sister seemed to earn more, she had to pay 10,000 yuan a month for the mortgage alone, and she owed so much high-interest loans. He felt terrible just thinking about it, and didn't think that his sister earned more money at all.
He had the same idea as Jiang's mother. He just wanted to earn some hard-earned money in a down-to-earth manner, but he didn't dare to take risks like Jiang Ning. Thinking of the huge loans his sister had to repay every month and the high-interest loans she owed, he couldn't sleep well. He was scared every day, afraid that one day those loan sharks would take over his sister's house.
Now he can earn 6,000 yuan for three days by shooting a gg, and food and accommodation are provided, which is equivalent to him earning 2,000 yuan a day.
Thinking about how much money he had earned, Jiang Bai couldn't help but feel secretly happy, just like a little mouse that had stolen some oil.
He never told anyone how much money he earned. After dinner, Shen Hongyun, Jiang Ma and other female relatives were responsible for cleaning the table. Jiang Guotai took Mayor Jiang, Jiang Dad, and the younger generations including Jiang Ning upstairs to chat.
When Jiang Bai was going upstairs, he came over to show off his neat white teeth to his sister: "Guess how much money I've made now?"
Jiang Bo has always been a very low-key person, but being low-key does not mean that he has no desire to share, especially when it comes to making money. If he doesn't share it with others and doesn't let others know, it would be like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes.
Therefore, the person Jiang Bai always showed off to in his previous life was Jiang Ning. Every time he earned money, he would tell Jiang Ning how much money had been added to his piggy bank, how much money he had earned from financial management, and he also gained some experience in financial management and wanted to teach Jiang Ning how to manage money.
When the economic situation was the worst, his business was actually better than before the epidemic. He was like a little squirrel who had secretly hidden a lot of dried fruits for the winter, and was lying down and counting his money contentedly with his full bank balance.
Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Bai, who was so lively and proud at this moment, and he looked exactly like him in his previous life when he was secretly showing off his little treasury to her.
It’s just that he was more reserved and introverted in his previous life, but in this life he seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and his eyes looked relaxed and happy.
Jiang Ning glanced at him who was smug about his generous savings, leaned close to him, and whispered, "No matter how much money you make, go to Shanghai and buy an apartment first. Believe me, you won't lose money."
Jiang Bai's heart suddenly trembled, his buttocks tightened, and he wanted to escape, but was caught by Jiang Ning.
She knew that because of his family's debt problems during his childhood and adolescence, he had a conservative personality like Jiang's mother. He was unwilling to take any risks and only wanted to make money honestly and steadily. He was unwilling to take any shortcuts.
She rolled her eyes and said to Jiang Bai, "You know I'm studying at Peking University. My classmates are very talented, and many of them have very strong backgrounds." She pointed upwards, "They are very powerful."
Her boasting without thinking immediately stunned Jiang Bai, and his eyes widened slightly.
His eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look at Jiang Ning. He didn't want to be burdened with so much mortgage. His father had so much debt in the past few years that it almost broke the family and scared him. He still felt scared when he thought about it. Those years were like a nightmare and a mountain, weighing heavily on him at such a young age. He was too sensible and too young, and his entire growing period was shrouded in the shadow of the huge debt at home.
His current mortgage payment of 500 yuan per month is already very high, and he doesn't want to bear any more mortgage payments.
Jiang Ning leaned close to him and whispered, "You're my brother, so I'm telling you. I won't tell anyone else." She said, "The national policy is going to change. Starting this year, the policy of allocating housing to work units will be cancelled. From now on, everyone will have to buy their own house. Once this policy is released, people who were originally waiting for housing will have no choice but to buy a house. Just think about how big the market demand will be. By then, housing prices will definitely go crazy. Take advantage of the fact that the policy hasn't come out yet and use the money you have to pay a down payment."
Jiang Bai was not sensitive to any of this. He blinked his round eyes and looked at his sister clearly and confusedly.
He asked in confusion: "I already have a house, why should I buy another one? This stuff is not worth eating or drinking." He said: "It's better to buy a shop."
Before Jiang Ning was reborn and before he went to work in Jiang Ning's shop, his ideal plan for his future was to go out and learn how to repair motorcycles or learn to be a cook after graduating from high school, so that he could have enough food to eat, and then when he became a master, he could open a motorcycle repair shop or a small restaurant.
Whether it is a small restaurant or a motorcycle repair shop, they all need a store.
He had not originally thought about it. Apart from paying a mortgage of 500 yuan every month, he just wanted to keep the money in the bank and enjoy the happiness of saving money. He had no intention of spending it at all.
But at this time his sister asked him to buy a house, but he didn't want to. Even if he wanted to buy one, he would just buy a shop.
Jiang Ning nodded: "A shop is fine, but it's better to buy a house first. Don't buy the apartment you bought last time. This time, buy a house with a blue-stamped household registration, and buy it in Hudong. If you have some extra money later, try to buy a shop."
Only in Hudong can you still get some good deals. After this point, you can never expect to get the current housing prices again.
Jiang Bai was actually still a little hesitant at this time.
The brother and sister were whispering in the back. Jiang Yanyan, who was walking in front of them, turned back and asked them curiously, "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Nothing, just chatting about some national policies."
Mayor Jiang and Jiang Guotai became excited when they heard about the national policy, especially since Jiang Ning's current school is in a city that is the center of power, and the school he attends is a university like Peking University. In ancient times, it was the Imperial Academy, and the students concentrated here could be said to be the best in the country. How could the second and third generations of those in the center of power not go to such a school?
So they all thought that Jiang Ning heard some news in the capital that they didn't know.
The two rooms upstairs are the same size. The room on the left is where Jiang Guotai and his wife live. It is the master bedroom, and there is an old black and white TV and an old leather sofa in it. He asked the younger generations to sit on the sofa, and he went downstairs to carry up a few bamboo chairs, one for each person, and brought up some fruit plates and dried fruit plates and placed them on the coffee table. Everyone sat around the coffee table.
Jiang Guotai and Mayor Jiang both looked at Jiang Ning with burning eyes and asked her with a smile: "I just heard you talking with Baizi about some national policies. Is it some new policy that we don't know about?"
