Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 45 Returning Home
My mother received the four-piece gold set, so that my father could receive it!
The next day, the father and son disappeared early in the morning.

At noon, a brand new Passat tied with a red ribbon drove into the community and stopped downstairs.

Teacher Li sat in the driver's seat and Li Qiutang sat in the passenger seat.

Wow! This is a masterpiece!
Li Qiutang thought very clearly. He usually didn't put on airs, but his parents needed him to. His father was an ordinary teacher. Although he had the title of a famous teacher, he couldn't even be a dean of studies, let alone a vice principal. Although he didn't care, as a son, Li Qiutang definitely wanted to restore his father's face in other places.

My mother is even more so. She was forced to be laid off when she was young, and then she opened a video store, and has been working there diligently ever since.

It's a bit vulgar to use money to show off, but isn't that how ordinary people live?
A Land Rover Range Rover and a brand new Passat, two cars parked downstairs of Li’s house, if this isn’t a matter of face, what is?
If it weren't for the ban on fireworks, Mother Li would have set off a car to welcome the new year.

"I was wondering why you were sneaking around for the past two months. Maybe you went to take the driver's license test." Mother Li finally reacted.

"Isn't this just to give you a surprise?" This was Li Qiutang's idea.

The neighbors naturally came to congratulate him. No need to ask, the car must have been bought by Li Qiutang for Teacher Li.

Everyone praised Li Qiutang for being filial.

The teachers at No. 2 Middle School have a good income, but few of them own cars. Many teachers ride electric bikes or bicycles to and from get off work.

"My goodness, the principal's car is not as good as yours."

Teacher Li smiled as he smoked: "I said it's quite convenient for me to ride a bike to and from get off work now, but Qiutang disagreed, saying there's nothing wrong with riding a bike to and from work. If you're going on a long trip or running errands, it's convenient to have a car. Come, have a smoke." He handed out another cigarette.

"Isn't this car cheap?"

"I don't understand either. It's all Qiutang's fault. Come, have mine." He handed out another cigarette.

Li Qiutang said: "It's okay for normal bike riding, but in this winter, with wind and snow, you can't even see the road clearly when you ride a bike."

"This car is really nice."

"It looks nice. Doesn't your son own a factory in Guangdong Province? Ask your son to buy it for you."

"It's good enough that he doesn't ask me to buy him a car. Why should I count on him?"

Someone asked Li Qiutang: "Qiutang, what do you do in Yanjing? How do you earn so much?"

"I didn't do anything. I just worked as a director and made movies." Li Qiutang told the truth.

"So what movies have you made? Maybe we've seen them."

"What else did you shoot? That Comet or something. Your mom went around the world telling us that this was the movie you shot and asked us to go watch it."

"Have you seen it?" The main audience of this movie is young people, and he really doesn't know whether this group of teachers have seen it.

"I watched it, but I didn't understand what it was about. I just saw a group of people wandering around the house, haha."

"Qiu Tang, do you guys who make movies all make money this way?"

Li Qiutang passed out another cigarette and said, "Not really. It's not easy to make movies now. 90% of them don't make any money. They just make ends meet. I was lucky to make money with my movie."

Li Qiutang also said: "Movie making is very risky. If you make money with this movie, the next one could bankrupt you. Who can guarantee that every movie will make money?"

The father and son stood downstairs for a while and each smoked half a pack of cigarettes.

To be honest, it does satisfy one's vanity and feels good to brag about one's wealth in front of others.

That night, Li Qiutang did not eat at home. Instead, she went out with some old classmates to take a bath and have a barbecue.

When Li Qiutang was away, a guest came to the house. He was also a teacher from the school, who was older than her.

After chatting for a while, the old teacher asked, "Does your Qiutang have a girlfriend in Yanjing?"

After hearing this, Li's parents knew for sure.

“We really don’t know about this.”

"Of course he did," the old teacher said with a smile. "Qiutang has been smart and good-looking since he was young, and girls like him. He just didn't tell you." "No, my son tells us everything. We definitely know if he is dating." Li Qiutang is very worry-free on this point. He will not lie as long as his parents ask.

"No," the old teacher laughed, "What kind of girls do you like?"

"Qiutang is grown up now. How can we make decisions about his own affairs?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The old teacher nodded, "Young people nowadays all have their own ideas. I have a niece, my sister's, she's 26 years old, also works in Yanjing, and she came back the day before yesterday. I like Qiu Tang, and I want to bring them together, what do you think?"

Seeing the hesitation on Li's parents' faces, the old teacher said, "My niece also went to college. She is three years older than Qiutang. A girl three years older than you is a treasure. Girls know how to care for others when they are older."

That's true, but their son is only 23 years old, so they are not in a hurry. But this is a good thing after all, and it's not good to refuse on the spot. Father Li said: "I will talk to Qiutang when he comes back. We, as parents, play the role of matchmaking. Whether it will succeed or not depends on them."

"That's right. If my sister hadn't kept urging me, I wouldn't have come. Okay, I'm leaving now."

Although Li Qiutang is still young and his parents are not in a hurry for his marriage, they are still willing to let their son give it a try if someone comes to introduce him to someone. Who can say for sure about things like fate?

But Li Qiutang seemed to be very resistant to blind dating: "I'm only 23 years old, why would I want to go on a blind date? Don't do this to me in the future."

It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have a blind date, his parents will just reject it on his behalf.

"Then tell us the truth, do you have a favorite girl in Yanjing?"

"No." Li Qiutang said, "I want to do more work in the past two years. I have finally achieved some results. How can I have the energy to fall in love?"

My parents didn't force me, they just said, "You have to work hard, and chase after the girl you like."

If introducing a girl to their son is a good thing, Li's parents are quite happy about it. But if someone comes to borrow money at the end of the year, the Li family will not be very happy.

And the amount borrowed is not a small amount of money.

I have borrowed three or five thousand yuan before, and at most ten or twenty thousand yuan.

Today, someone actually came to Teacher Li and asked to borrow 20 yuan, saying that he wanted to buy a nice car so that he could drive it around with dignity.

How much is the salary now!
"Qiutang is driving a car worth more than two million yuan, and you don't even have 200 yuan?" The rumor has already spread to million yuan.

Teacher Li was so angry that he scolded the person and kicked him out, saying that he would never be a friend again.

He also said that Teacher Li was stingy.

In the past few days since Li Qiutang returned, in addition to meeting old classmates and old friends, she also met several bosses from Northeast China, all of whom said they wanted to invest in movies and in Li Qiutang.

Of course, it is possible to make money, but Li Qiutang thinks it is better not to do such immoral things.

When I got home in the evening, I saw my father sitting on the sofa smoking and talking to my mother about decorating the new house.

"Didn't you say that the renovation wouldn't be done so quickly?" Li Qiutang said.

He was talking about the house he bought two years ago. At that time, he said it was for his son’s wedding, and he planned to renovate it after Li Qiutang really got married.

"Don't listen to your dad." Mother Li said, "I'm just angry and want to move."

"We didn't spend a penny, and we saw their true colors." Li Qiutang comforted her father, "There's nothing to be angry about."

Li Qiutang didn't know how much money the family had, but her father had been teaching for more than 20 years, so besides the house, he should have some money.

So Li Qiutang said with a smile: "If you are afraid that they will miss you, then spend your money in a big way. Didn't Mr. He's family on the third floor buy a house in Sanya last year? This year, the whole family went to Sanya for the New Year. You should learn from them. From now on, I will fly directly to Sanya for the New Year."

"If I ask you to borrow money again, just say that I used the money to buy a house and it's gone."

As we all know, the fourth province in Northeast China is Sanya.

"What a bad idea you have." This made my mother laugh.
