China Entertainment 1997

Cooked sesame seeds, sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate, minced garlic, chili powder, a little vinegar, pour hot oil on it, add a little noodle soup, and serve the cooked lasagna.

This is Cao Xuan’s own fried noodles.

He couldn't control the heat of the original Qin Province oil-splashed noodles, so he simply changed a certain step and made oil-splashed noodles, which tasted almost the same.

Holding the bowl, take two bites of the spicy, mellow, chewy noodles, and then two bites of garlic.

That smell is so exciting!

Sun Lan looked at Cao Xuan, who was eating noodles and looking happy, and couldn't help scratching his head and asked in confusion.

"The food in Singapore and Malaysia is so bad? It makes you hungry like this."

"It's quite delicious, but I haven't had it this good for a long time. It feels fresh."

Being a star also has its drawbacks. You have to pay attention to your image at all times outside. After Cao Xuan became famous, he even signed up for relevant etiquette classes. If he showed any ugly behavior, he would be ridiculed by the media in the newspapers.

Cao Xuan was outside and couldn't even eat noodles, and he couldn't even think about garlic. He could only act according to his heart in front of his parents and two girlfriends.

Therefore, the taste of the noodles is secondary, and the main reason is that I am exhausted and feel comfortable...

While eating, Cao Xuan chatted with his mother. As for Cao Shuangguo, he has become addicted to acting recently. He hangs out in front of the Beijing Film Studio every day to see if he can get another role.

Cao Xuan also advised him about this. If the old man really wanted to act, he would say hello and put him into a regular crew. If he didn't dare to say more, it would only take one sentence to find a small supporting role.

But Cao Shuangguo didn't want to die, he just went to the entrance of Jingying Film Studio by himself.

Cao Xuan didn't understand it at first, but later Sun Lan explained it to him. Whether he acted or not was secondary. The old man mainly wanted to experience life and show off at the same time.

According to Comrade Sun Lan's revelation, Lao Cao went to work in the extras and "accidentally" revealed that his son was Cao Xuan from time to time.

The extras certainly didn't believe it and even laughed at Cao Shuangguo. The old man was not angry, but rather enjoyed it.

Probably I am pursuing the feeling of "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at others and they can't see through it"...

How should I put it? Cao Xuan strongly suspected that the old men in the capital had led his father into trouble.

What an honest and simple person he used to be. In the words of the villagers in his hometown Cao Guanzhuang, Cao Lao (Cao Daguo) is fierce, Cao Lao San (Cao Xiaoguo) is treacherous, and Cao Lao Er (Cao Shuangguo) is the one who cannot be beaten with three sticks.

But now everything has changed, and he is getting better and better at playing every day. Or maybe his father was always a boring guy, but now his true nature is exposed?

While they were chatting, Cao Shuangguo came back with a rooster. Cao Xuan looked around and found that Comrade Cao's demeanor was indeed more cheerful than before.

I used to have a stern face and be taciturn, but now I notice that I smile more often and I love to talk.

Cao Xuan reflected a little. It seemed that his father was not bored, but that he was tired from working in the countryside, and he was worried about his son, so he didn't want to speak.

Now that life is better and his son has become more successful, he doesn't have to worry about it and he is naturally "lively".

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan felt a little sad. He still cared too little about his parents, but he was more happy. If his parents were happy, it meant they were satisfied with their current life, which was better than anything else.

However, Cao Xuan's parents were not worried at all.

After Cao Xuan finished his meal and helped Comrade Lao Cao kill the chicken, Lao Cao began to inquire.

"I heard that you were in love with that little girl from Taiwan Province?"

"puff."

Cao Xuan, who was pouring hot water and preparing to pluck the chicken feathers, almost choked on his saliva: "Who did you listen to? You can't believe what's in the newspaper."

"Not a newspaper."

Because Cao Xuan's scandal was widespread, Cao Shuangguo and his wife often made excited inquiries and often received disappointed replies. They also knew that the news in some newspapers could not be believed.

But this time Comrade Cao was confident: "Don't hide it from me this time. I heard from a group leader that he met you with an assistant director and saw you flirting with that little girl."

Good guy, I dare you to go to the gate of Jingying Film Studio to find out information!

Cao Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained: "He has a partner, and we just cooperate with the hype. We have met a few times in total. We were acting in Hengdian two years ago. How could he, an assistant director in Beijing, see me flirting with someone? .

Dad, these things are all hearsay, and more than 90% of them are false. Don’t believe it. "

"oh."

Lao Cao nodded and asked again: "Then the assassination was also fake?"

"That's not true."

In fact, in the past two years, his career has begun to decline.

There have been no relatively popular works, and coupled with the impact of strong newcomers such as Cao Xuan, it has basically withdrawn from the top popular list in the mainland.

Yang Yuying, who is also known as Yang Yuying, also semi-retired for some reasons last year. Since then, all the "golden girls" of mainland pop music have stepped down from the altar.

Cao Xuan didn't want to talk to his parents about these things in the circle, so as to save them from worrying, he took the initiative to ask.

"You also heard them say who is in love with me."

Cao Shuangguo got excited and counted on his fingers: "The surname is Jia, the surname is Zhou, the surname is Fan, the surname is Xu, the surname is Li, the surname is Zeng, the surname is Xu..."

After counting about a dozen, Comrade Lao Cao said with emotion: "If this were all true, you would have been shot a few years ago."

"Can you hope for me to do better?"

Cao Xuan felt guilty and took a sip. It was so unlucky. Comrade Cao glanced at his son.

"Please tell me, Dad, do you have a partner? You are already 25, 26 years old and 27 years old. When I was your age, you were almost in elementary school."

"How can you calculate like that? If I were two more years old, I would be 30. I told you, we are talking about it."

"Then you should take it home."

Cao Shuangguo grabbed the chicken by the neck, pulled out a few hairs from the neck, wiped the neck with a knife, and then found a bamboo basket to cover it. With the screams that turned from strong to weak, the rooster crowed and turned into chicken.

While killing the chicken, he also complained: "When I asked you, you said you have a partner, but you didn't take it home. The newspapers outside are talking nonsense, and your mother and I have no idea at all."

"that is."

Sun Lan, who heard the news, came over and joined the condemnation team: "We have also read the newspapers and know that it is not easy for you to get married in this industry, so we will not rush you, but you have to bring them to have a look, so that we can know which one is the real one." Wife."

"Let's talk about it later."

Cao Xuan continued to be perfunctory. There was nothing he could do if he didn't perfunctory. He could bring it with him, but the key was which one he brought.

This is a big event to meet the parents. Preconceptions are even related to who is the main palace. Those two will definitely not give in. Whoever brings them will cause the other to explode.

If he brought both of them, the two bowls would be even, and his parents would probably explode...

Sad!

Cao Xuan was afraid that the old man would get excited and purge the evil ones, so he could only hold off for as long as he could.

Seeing his son's rogue character, the old couple immediately pushed him aside without making a fuss. Cao Xuan didn't care and just gave him a reminder.

"This year for the Chinese New Year, I plan to invite my master over. He is not in good health this year, so my family probably won't be in the mood to celebrate the New Year. It's just a good time to invite my master over and let's have some fun together."

"Okay, you just think your mother and I are lonely at home. I'll pack up the west wing later. It should be enough for us."

"That's enough. Let my junior brother live with me then."

"You can ask your master later if he has any taboos. I'll make a mahjong set so you can play it during the Chinese New Year. It's a pity that there aren't enough people, otherwise we would be able to play at a high level."

"If you feel that there are not enough people, call me and ask my uncle and the others to come over together. I will cover all the food, accommodation and travel expenses. If you go back, you can book a hotel nearby, eat at home, stay in the hotel, and take them to the capital when you have time. Take a walk.”

"That's a good idea."

Cao Shuangguo and his wife's eyes lit up. In the past two years, Cao Xuan had spent most of the time during the Spring Festival Gala. The couple stayed at home and watched the Spring Festival Gala, which was not much fun.

If you can bring a few relatives and friends over and have a lot of fun together, it will be more festive.

As for money, the couple may have been worried about it before.

But since Cao Xuan paid 1 million "living expenses" to his family every year, their consumption concept has gradually improved. Although they still don't spend too much easily, they are still willing to part with it.

"I'm going to call your aunt and uncle. It's best to bring your grandma with me."

Sun Lan hurriedly went to the house to make a phone call, but Cao Xuan did not forget to remind them: "Let them take the plane, forget it, I'll call my uncle and let him make arrangements."

Among the relatives at home, Cao Xuan trusted his brother-in-law Cao Xiaoguo the most, as he handled matters steadily and thoughtfully, so it was most appropriate for him to step in and help.

And he also has money on hand, so he can advance the money for the air ticket and Cao Xuan will reimburse him later.

After contacting him, Cao Xiaoguo readily agreed. His parents and Cao Xuan were very happy, and this year could be considered a lively one.

However, Cao Xuan also kept in mind that his collection of awards and the like would have to be moved later. He would put them in a Haidian apartment first and then buy a separate house later.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even have time to cry if he was ruined by those naughty kids visiting relatives...

In the remaining days, Cao Xuan relaxed a little. Apart from watching the Spring Festival Gala and subsequent concerts in Beijing, he stayed at home with his parents.

Occasionally, during my free time, I made an appointment with Zeng, who was still on vacation, to go to the Haidian apartment to watch movies and appreciate the masterpieces of teachers from Hong Kong and Japan.

In mid-January, Zeng Li took a break from Zhongxi Opera and went home to celebrate the New Year.

Cao Xuan also began to prepare for the upcoming third Spring Festival Gala.
