1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 107 Studying Traditional Culture~
In addition to foreigners, there are also a considerable number of Chinese among Xia’s book friends.

When Xia Tian was signing autographs, I heard a Chinese guy arguing with a foreigner in the distance: Xia Tian was an oriental practitioner, a cultivator of immortality, not a wizard! And certainly not an alchemist!
Xia Tian: I’m just a writer...as long as you guys are happy.

There was even a middle-aged Chinese book friend who whispered to Xia Tian while signing: "Master, do you know the art of sex?"

Look at you looking around like a sneaky dog~
Xia Tian: I can’t cure kidney deficiency!
"Oh, the art of sex, this... I don't know much about it, sorry."

I actually read some of it in the summer - I got it by accident when I was collecting Taoist scriptures and metaphysical books~
But this is not easy to tell others!

Besides, this is the first time we meet, and we are talking about this?! It’s not appropriate!

It turned out that the other person was really sincere - he waited until the book signing was over in the afternoon, and then he found Xia Tian again and actually presented him with an ancient book!
"Master Xia, I bought this in a second-hand shop a few years ago..."

Xia Tian was shocked. Is this a novel coming true?!

When he saw the title of the book "Yu Jiao Jing"...this name is quite straightforward!
After reading the content again, wow, it claims to be passed down from the Jin Dynasty and was completed in the early Sui Dynasty!

This... this ancient book has to be studied, after all, it is the ancient cultural heritage. This is all knowledge!
So, Xia Tian interpreted it once, memorized it by the way, went back and wrote a copy from memory, and even drew illustrations.

After seeing it, Old Palo specifically told him: "Hide it well, don't let Ali see it, he doesn't have a girlfriend yet."

Yali is little Paolo, Yali is a nickname.

This book is definitely not suitable for young people to read, as it is easy to make mistakes!

Because of this "ancient book", Xia Tian has established some connections with some Chinese people here.

Many Chinese here seem to have some psychological barriers in making friends with foreigners, so after meeting people like Xia Tian, ​​they are unusually enthusiastic.

They even wanted to invite Xia Tian to a concert, saying that it was a Chinese female star who was very popular!
……

January has passed in the blink of an eye, and it's time to end our summer trip to the United States.

At the airport, Xia Tian said goodbye to the old Palo family.

During this month, Xia Tian got along very well with them, and they were both reluctant to leave.

The ticket checking time began. Xia Tian looked into the distance but couldn't see the person he wanted to see.

He shook the canvas bag on his shoulder and waved into the distance.

"Old Palo, I'm leaving. Come visit China when you have time!"

The plane that crossed the ocean took off from the runway, about to bring summer back to the embrace of the motherland.

It's different from when I came here. When I came here, I was very relaxed in the summer. I just took it as a trip. I also earned some US dollars~
But now it’s different. He felt a little bit uncomfortable on the plane back.

In the past month, receiving awards and publishing books have become secondary...

It's a surprise prize, the process is not important, the prize is just a certificate and a glass trophy, and the prize money is only $3000.

Publishing a book only earns a few tens of thousands of dollars... When can't you make money?
Xiatian took the brand new rucksack and looked at it carefully. He opened the rucksack and found two new sets of clothes, including socks and underwear, in addition to the gifts Xiatian brought back.

And a note...

"Hello, what would you like for lunch?" the flight attendant came over and asked, interrupting his thoughts.

In the summer, I ordered a random airplane meal, and after eating, I began to silently watch the rolling sea of ​​clouds outside the small round window of the airport.

This disappointed the flight attendants - they recognized Xia Tian, ​​it was him when he came! He is such a big eater!

In the end, he only ate one... Was the airplane food not to his liking? Was he worried about something? Should I go and comfort him?
Some of the flight attendants were moved.

But as the saying goes, one monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink. In the end, they pulled each other, and no one dared to comfort Xia Tian.

Xiatian stopped looking at the scenery and began to close his eyes and rest, thinking about his trip to the United States.

……

When the plane landed, Xia's father and mother were already waiting at the airport.

This one-month absence was more worrying than the two months of filming.

Xia Tian calls home once a week. Every time, Dad Xia can't say much, as his voice is filled with Mom Xia's concern and caring.

"You're back? I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!"

Dad Xia took Mom Xia and Xia Tian rode a bicycle, and the family of three went home.

When I get home in the summer, I will first take out the gifts I prepared for my family and friends, and then give them out over the next few days.

Mr. and Mrs. Xia talked for a long time with their son whom they hadn’t seen for a month - it’s different from acting in China, this is about traveling across the ocean to a foreign country!
I read the newspaper during the period when I was away in the summer and found some interesting news.

For example, the chief designer met Jin Yong in the conference hall!

It is said that his genuine martial arts novels are going to be published here. That's right, all the ones that countless young people have read before were pirated!
Then there is the program that CCTV broadcast a few days ago - "Yenching Middle School Students' Intelligence Competition".

There were many similar programs in the early years, such as Zhengda Variety Show. Didn’t the Brain King become popular later?
When did everyone start to look at people with high IQs differently?

……

Dachun came. While eating the delicious food that Xia's mother prepared for her eldest son, he talked about what happened during the time when Xia was away.

"Well... the pants are gone," he said suddenly.

Xia Tian was stunned, "Why did you leave? So suddenly!"

"Ok!"

"what's up!"

"Let the train take it away and join the army."

“…You f*cking bastard!”

Feng Kuazi finally passed the exam when he joined the army.

When he was notified that he had been selected, he almost went crazy with excitement: Hey, I won? !

Xia Tian: My hands are itchy, but it’s a pity that I’m not there!

During his summer trip abroad, he had already set out to make his contribution.

"Oh, by the way, he also left a letter for you!" Dachun took the letter and gave it to Xia Tian. Xia Tian opened it and saw that he had written a lot, three pages.

Pants has literary talent, just like he is good at painting. Xia Tian doesn't know whether he was hiding his talent or didn't have the opportunity to show it before.

But after reading these three pages of the letter, Xia Tian felt that he did have some talent.

The text is sincere and simple. Although it is a bit wordy, it can make people feel the author's mood when writing, which is great.

When Xia Tian looked at the contents of the letter, he seemed to see Pants's whining expression, as if he was about to cry.

The letter read: "You went to shoot a movie earlier, and we were all surprised. We were thinking of you coming back to celebrate with you..."

"Before I could say a word after I came back, you went to America again after taking the high school entrance exam..."

"The United States is dazzling, but Brother Tian definitely can't..."

He talked a lot, and finally said, "I'm very excited to join the army. But without you to see me off, I don't feel confident..."

It can be seen that unlike Ye Jing and Fangyan who are full of energy and fantasy, Kuzi is still very confused about the future.

Before, he had been hanging out with Ye Jing and Fang Yan, and later he had been hanging out with Xia Tian. Now that he had nowhere to hang out, what was he going to do in the future? He felt guilty.

Xia Tian took out a pen and paper and wrote him a letter, on the one hand to congratulate him and ask him to behave well in the army and not to be dishonest.

On the other hand, remind him that we have advantages in literature and art, so we should play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.

Just your physique...right?!

……

After lunch, Xia Tian went to the secret base.

Sure enough, the door of his room was not locked.

Milan fell asleep in her bed, wearing cool clothes in the hot summer... a white vest, quite white...

Ahem, I'm a little nervous. I want to take a closer look, but I'm worried it won't pass the review...

It must be those ancient books and the elder sister that weakened his iron will.

This is not possible!
At this moment, Milan seemed to feel something and suddenly opened his eyes.

"You're back?" she asked weakly, still dazed as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"Why are you sleeping here?" Xia Tian asked.

"It rained yesterday and the thunder was a bit loud..."

"Afraid?"

Milan nodded slowly.

Xia Tian had never seen her like this before. She always seemed full of energy and confidence before, but now she looked so weak.

He sat down on the bed, gently hugged Milan and patted her back gently.

Milan: I am dreaming again.

……

Milan could feel that Xia seemed to have something on his mind when he came back from the United States.

Although his behavior hadn't changed, she could sense what he was thinking, and it was a bit dull.

Even Xia's father and mother didn't notice this change in mentality.

Instead, he was discovered by Uncle Wu.

He put down the chess piece in his hand and said, "Even if you let me win on purpose before, a game of chess wouldn't take more than ten minutes. But now you're dragging your feet too?"

He didn't ask what happened to Xia Tian, ​​but Aunt Deng did.

Aunt Deng: "Why are you so depressed after coming back? Are you dazzled by the glamorous world of America?"

Xia Tian shook her head: "Aunt, stop joking. The colorful world is just like that. What's there to be fascinated by?"

"Then what's wrong with you?"

"I...I met a woman...and had a brief romance."

I'm afraid I can't say this to others, but Aunt Deng has no problem with it. Aunt Deng is kind and open-minded.

Sure enough, she smiled: "Oh, that's right! You've grown into a big boy now!"

She didn't have any thoughts about the "short-term relationship".

"American?" she asked.

Xia Tian smiled bitterly: "If it was an American, it would be better, but it's from Taiwan."

"Oh." Aunt Deng stopped smiling and sighed softly.

If that's the case, then we are not destined to be together.

No matter what, no matter what accidents happened, at least the original purpose of going abroad was achieved, or even exceeded.

If you convert this wave of royalties and subsequent income into RMB, you will definitely become rich overnight!
But Xia Tian thinks it is better not to exchange it back for the time being, as the US dollars are still of great use outside.

……

Put a piece of sugar in clean water, it won't be too sweet, but put a spoonful of vinegar in it, it will be very sour.

You won’t be too happy if you pick up money, but you will be very upset if you lose money.

People cannot be happy for a whole year because of a happy event, but can be depressed for a lifetime because of a trauma.

The stimulation of pain is always greater than happiness, so people would rather not get it than lose it, and gradually they become neither sad nor happy...
