House Dad's Literary Life

In this way, Yang Yi became the new tenant of Mr. Hu Songnan.

To Yang Yi’s surprise, the old man just symbolically charged a dollar for three year’s rent. So, that bunch of money Yang Yi prepared became not that useful.

Because he felt uncomfortable with the arrangement, Yang Yi wanted to give more money to the old man, but the old man just scolded him.

“I’m not short on money. If I go to Hong Kong, my son who runs a record company, will be able to support an old man like me. Just take good care of the house for me and take good care of her, and that will be more than enough to pay me!” Hu Songnan has already sorted out his sentiments and is ready to leave tomorrow without any attachment.

“Shall I send you off?” Yang Yi said. He didn’t know why but he had some inexplicable sadness.

“No, it’s not like I can’t walk! Take the keys, and after tomorrow, this is yours!” The old is stubborn, like a cow.

Well, Yang Yi didn’t pretend to be sentimental, and just promised him. It seems that he will be shouldering another person’s wishes.

……

That evening, in order to celebrate, Yang Yi prepared honey glazed ribs1 and fresh orange juice that he personally squeezed for dinner.

There’s no need to match it with rice at all. All he needed do is to sit comfortably and eat a delicious meal of meat while watching TV.

That’s the advantage of being single.

However, Yang Yi had just drank a mouthful of orange juice, but he could not help thinking of his daughter!

“If Xixi was here, she will definitely like drinking this orange juice? And these ribs, the meat inside is very delicious, she will love it very much.”

Yang Yi couldn’t help but imagine the little girl struggling to gnaw on the delicious ribs. And he could not help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This is not right. Isn’t it about breathing free air?

Why did you think of your daughter again?

Before Yang Yi could understand the reason, a news broadcast on the pitifully small old-fashioned TV caught his attention.

“……A few days ago, Teacher Liu Shifang, a famous musician who has written excellent music such as “River Children” and “The Country Has Broken Mountains and Rivers”, accused Mo Fei of being arrogant and disrespectful during an interview in a talk show, causing an uproar.”

Mo Fei?

When he heard this familiar name, he raised his head in surprise.

Is that Xixi’s mother?

The news showed a video clip of that talk show. In the video, an old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle is spitting and shouting.

“You can’t forget your roots. Whether you are a star or a celebrity, the more popular you are, the more humble you must be and the more respectful you must be to your predecessors!2Otherwise, you won’t go long in the entertainment industry! “

“Let me give you a few typical examples. Do you remember Mo Fei, who was all over the country a few years ago? In the past, before she made her debut, as her predecessor, I also gave her a lot of advice, so that she could walk a lot less detours! But this woman is a white-eye wolf. After she became famous, she turned against the people that helped her. It is said that her character is cold and was praised by the media. But the way I see it is that her eyes are higher than the top.”3

But the way I see it is that her eyes are higher than the top.”3

“At that time, I thought she would not be that popular for long. Sure enough, there is samsara in heaven4…” The Mediterranean old man said triumphantly.

Yang Yi frowned. From the description of the other party, he could basically confirm that it was Xixi’s mother, the iced cold big star. However, Yang Yi was very uncomfortable with Liu Shifang’s words.

On the TV, he was still screaming and said: “What has she been doing lately to make a comeback? When she wants someone to give her a platform, she asked her assistant to send me her new album. She doesn’t even have the sincerity to visit. Who does she think I am? Here, I hope the fans who like Mo Fei will open their eyes and see what kind of person your favorite star is!”

At this moment, the host asked: “Teacher Liu, what do you think of Mo Fei’s comeback album?”

Liu Shifang waved impatiently and shouted, “The new song is terrible, and it’s mixed with a lot of old songs. I don’t know if she wants to come up with a new album or a new bottle of old wine! This is such an insincere album. I do not recommend the fans to buy it!”

There’s nothing new behind the news, it’s just a summary and analysis of Mo Fei’s situation, but Yang Yi twisted his eyebrows.

Liu Shifang, what is this old man doing?

Though Yang Yi does not know anything about the world of entertainment industry, he can still analyze a strong sense of malice from the other party’s words.

“Is he deliberately throwing dirt on Mo Fei?” Yang Yi thought to himself.

……

At this time, this is the only news broadcasted on TV. As early as yesterday, after Liu Shifang recorded the program on TV, Mo Fei’s company has already learned of this news.

However, when the public relations department acted, it was already too late!

In this era of underdeveloped social networks, people can only get information through television and newspapers. Only a small number of senior netizens will exchange information in online forums.

Therefore, after the TV program, Mo Fei’s image was immediately greatly affected, which is very difficult to recover!

“How could you push off this trip? Don’t you know that this surnamed Liu will seek revenge for the slightest grievance? You don’t answer any of the activities that the company has worked so hard to arrange for you. Do you want to make a comeback? Do you have any idea how passive we are right now?”

In the afternoon, Mo Fei was scolded by Niu Meiling, the Management Agency general manager, who rushed back from Guangzhou.

Niu Meiling, who is called Sister Ling by the people in the industry, is the eldest sister of the broker circle. She is Murphy’s honored person!

At the beginning, Mo Fei’s debut was not smooth, but Sister Ling saw her potential and pulled her out of the pit of fire and to her Management Agency. Mo Fei made a turned around and became popular.

Therefore, Sister Ling scolded her because she didn’t live up to expectations, which made Murphy so uncomfortable that she couldn’t eat her dinner.

“Mama, don’t be unhappy.” Xixi followed Aunt Xiaojuan together to pick up her mother from work. She muttered with her little mouth and cleverly hold her mother’s hand and said, “Xixi does not talk back to mama. Xixi will obediently go to kindergarten, okay?”

It turned out that the little girl thought that her mother was sulking because when they discussed about sending her to kindergarten, she cried and refused to do so.

Murphy’s mood was very low, not only because Liu Shifang’s old-fashioned remarks, but also because her new album, which had not yet been released, was covered with a layer of shadow and suffered a lot of pressure!

She rubbed Xixi’s little head with a forced smile. She did not answer the question, but looked out of the window sadly.

“Ring ring ring…” the cell phone rang suddenly and Mo Fei woke up from her confused thoughts.

Xixi curiously poked out her small head, glanced at it, and suddenly became happy, “It’s papa! Papa calls Xixi!”

Mo Fei was somewhat still absent-minded, but was woken up by Xixi’s words.

Yang Yi? Will he call me?

TN: I’ve changed the food Yang Yi prepared because as far as I could understand, through translation sites, this was what the raw say, it was ribs cooked in beer and coke was added on the outer part of the ribs. I really don’t know if that exist or what but that sounded weird for me. Here’s the raw: 外焦里嫩的啤酒煎肋排1

TN: The predecessor here means the senior in the entertainment industry or those who has long been in the entertainment industry before her.2

TN: There’s a lot of Chinese idiom here, but in summary, all it’s saying is that Mo Fei was being arrogant and disrespectful.3

TN: This mean those who do good and do evil will get retribution sooner or later, and the laws of nature will always rotate back and forth like a wheel.4
