A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1091 Qiao Yicheng is the top scholar! (Please subscribe!)

He Qing returned to Jinling a week later. Instead of going to the Peking Opera House, he went straight to his home in Shamao Lane. After meeting, he had an expression as if he was worried and seemed hesitant to speak.

Hua Shier drank tea and read the newspaper, ignoring the confusion on He Qing's face.

He Qing coaxed Qiqi to play for a while, and seeing that Hua Twelve still ignored her, she pouted and said:

"Teacher, there is something I want you to help me with!"

Hua Twelve then laughed and put down the newspaper:

"Why, you're not mad at me anymore!"

He Qing's face turned red instantly, obviously thinking of what happened that night in the capital. She never thought that she would be so bold that day. She glanced at Qiqi who was playing with toys with her head down, and bared her teeth at Hua Twelve.

Hua Twelve stopped teasing her: "Just tell me what you want to say, teacher, I will help you make a decision!"

He Qing then talked about the thing that made her undecided.

It turned out that she had gone back to her hometown to spend two days with her parents. Before returning to Jinling, she first visited the troupe in Hangzhou. Just then, a film crew went to the Kunqu Opera Troupe to select actors. They took a liking to her at first sight and wanted to invite her to play the leading role.

The troupe didn't want to let her go. After all, He Qing was now a winner of the Plum Blossom Award and a well-known figure in the opera world. If there were any missions to perform abroad, she would be indispensable as the mainstay.

But precisely because He Qing is a leading actress, the troupe also has to consider her own wishes, so whether she goes or not depends on He Qing herself.

Hua Twelve understood immediately: "Are you moved?"

He Qing fiddled with his fingers: "I just think this is a rare opportunity, I..."

She hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to listen to the teacher's opinion. If you tell me to go, I will go. If you don't tell me to go, then I won't go!"

Hua Twelve smiled dumbly: "Are my words so important?"

He Qing blushed again and nodded vigorously: "It's very important to me!"

Although she blushed, she did not lower her head this time. Instead, she looked boldly into Hua Twelve's eyes with a shy look on her face and her eyes moving. Her words seemed to express her feelings, and in fact, it was almost the same.

Hua Shier naturally understood the other party's intentions, but when he thought about the last time he drank with her father and the other party called him brother, he felt a little guilty.

He coughed lightly: "Okay, stop looking at me like that, I'll be shy!"

"How shameless!" He Qing chuckled and hit him on the arm.

It turns out that men should protect themselves, otherwise women will easily take action once they get close to them.

At this time, Qiqi rubbed his eyes and said, "Dad, I want to sleep!" The little guy has been playing for the whole afternoon and is now a little sleepy.

Hua Twelve carried Qiao Qiqi to the east room, came back and sat next to He Qing, then said:

"If you want me to make a decision for you, you have to tell me what kind of crew it is, right?"

He Qing thought back: "It was a film company in Hong Kong Island. The movie they made seemed to be called Shaolin Lay Disciple!"

Hua Shier thought about it and realized that he had never heard of this movie.

Last year, "Shaolin Temple" starring Jacky Cheung became popular in Southeast Asia. When it was released in mainland China, it set a box office record of 1 million yuan with a ticket price of 1.6 cents. It set an ultra-high record of 1616 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong Island and a box office record of 40 billion yen in Japan. This year, it was released in South Korea and set a box office record of 51 billion won, sweeping Southeast Asia.

Needless to say, this "lay disciple" must be a copycat work from Hong Kong Island.

However, Hua Twelve has no impression of it, and it is estimated that it did not cause much waves.

Thinking of this, Hua Twelve waved his hand and said, "Stop acting!"

"Oh!"

He Qing was a little disappointed, but still nodded and smiled: "Then I'll listen to you, from now on, the two of us will be good partners in singing operas, and we will sing for the rest of our lives!"

Hua Twelve's heart was touched. These words reminded him of Cheng Dieyi, and he subconsciously added:

"We're talking about a lifetime! One year, one month, one day, one hour less doesn't count as a lifetime!"

He Qing was moved beyond words by these words, and he held his big hand tightly, his eyes misty, but with a smile on his face, he nodded heavily:

"Okay! One year, one month, one day, one hour less doesn't count as a lifetime!"

Hua Twelve shuddered and came to his senses: "Why, I just wanted to think of a line. You've read too many Qiong Yao novels."

He Qing was so angry that he punched him in the chest twice: "You have to keep your word. Are you still a man?"

Hua Twelve grabbed her hand to stop her from hitting herself:

"Okay, okay, I told you to stop acting, but that doesn't mean I won't let you make movies. With the development of the times and the popularization of movies and television, the decline of opera is also an inevitable trend. It's not bad to change careers now. You can say hello to the troupe, and it's not a big deal to go out and film occasionally!"

He Qing was pulled back by him, blushing a little, her heart thumping, and she asked in confusion:

"So you're telling me to stop acting?"

Hua Shier explained to her, "This movie called Lay Disciple seems to be a copycat of Shaolin Temple. It has no future. I have some connections in Hong Kong Island. I will arrange a big production for you in a few days and make you a hit!"

He Qing had long known that Qiao Zuwang had a powerful cousin in Hong Kong Island, but he had never met him, so he didn't think much about it:

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Hua Twelve looked at the time and stood up: "Yicheng and the others will be out of school soon, you can eat here tonight!"

He Qing glared at Hua Twelve and said, "Why, I'm not eating here, and you want to chase me away?"

Hua Twelve: I still like your gentle look before!

He Qing stood up and said with a smile, "Let me cook today, so you can have a taste of my cooking skills!"

After saying that, she walked out of the hall and headed for the kitchen. But after she took two steps, she thought of something and turned back to remind him:

"By the way, Yicheng is going to take the college entrance exam soon, so don't tell them about our relationship yet, so as not to affect Yicheng's performance!"

After saying that, he went to the kitchen and started to work. Hua Twelve followed him with a smile and leaned against the kitchen door:

"What's the relationship between us?"

He Qing grabbed a kitchen knife and waved it at him angrily.

Soon, Yicheng, Erqiang, Sanli and Simei all came back from school. When they saw He Qing, they greeted her and were surprised that it was Sister He who cooked today.

He Qing asked them to wash their hands and wait for dinner, then he shouted to Hua Twelve who was watching TV in the hall:

"Old Joe, help me peel an onion"

The children looked at each other. Qiao Simei whispered, "Didn't Sister He call our dad teacher? Why did she call Old Qiao?"

Hua Twelve had very good ears. He heard it as soon as he came out of the old house. His face was a little hot: "Hurry up and go back to your room to do your homework. Why are you talking nonsense here instead of studying hard?"

The next day, Hua Twelve arrived at Hong Kong Island through the Anywhere Door and found Sir Shaw with the movie script he had written the night before:

"Sixth Brother, can you help me take a look at this script I wrote?"

Since Sir Shao spent five million to buy ten years of health, and after Hua Twelve treated him several times, he felt as if he had become thirty years younger. His eyes were no longer blurry, and he didn't even need to bring a mirror. He just took it and looked at it:

"Once Upon a Time?"

Hua Twelve smiled and nodded: "Not bad, Sixth Brother, take a look first!"

Sir Shaw nodded. If it were someone else, he would have told the person to get lost long ago, but the man in front of him was Hong Kong Island's number one miracle doctor, Qiao Zurong, so he had to give him face.

After reading the contents carefully, Sir Shao said "good" three times:

"Good, this script is well written. It has a sense of family and country, national justice, and lofty ambitions. It is a rare martial arts masterpiece. I didn't expect you, Arong, to have such a good writing style. We, Shaw Brothers, have bought this script for 200,000!"

Hua Twelve rolled his eyes and said, "Sixth Brother, do you think I am short of these two hundred thousand?"

Sir Shao thought he was not satisfied with the price, so he explained, "Ah Rong, two hundred thousand is not a low price. This is for your sake. If it were someone else, fifty thousand would be considered a high price!"

Hua Twelve smiled and said, "I plan to invest in this play. I will be the director and use my cousin as the actor. I also have someone to choose for the female lead. I'm looking for Sixth Brother because I need your help in distributing the film!"

Sir Shao raised his eyebrows: "Are you so confident in yourself?"

Hua Twelve said without any modesty: "I have it all planned out!"

Having seen the original film, how could it not be filmed well with the help of professionals? In addition, as for the martial arts scenes, it is difficult for Brother Jie to perform the moves he did. He doesn't even need to hang on wires for his martial arts skills!

In the end, Sir Run Run Shaw still gave Hua Twelve this face, but put forward two requirements. One was that Shaw Brothers also participated in the investment with half of the funds, and the other was that the main supporting roles had to be selected from Shaw Brothers or TVB.

On the same day, Shaw Brothers sent people to the mainland to invite the female lead from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang troupes.

Half a month later, the leaders of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang troupe accompanied the people from Shaw Brothers Company to Jinling. Hua Shier accepted the invitation on behalf of himself and He Qing. The two were confirmed to play the roles of Huang Feihong and Thirteenth Aunt, but they had to wait until after the college entrance examination before they could go to Hong Kong Island to film.

Another half month later, Li Heman and several other poker players found Hua Twelve:

"Old Qiao, this is bad. That bastard Xu Funian has cheated us all. Now he is so stubborn that he says we can't get our money back. He also says that if we dare to hit him, he will call the police!"

Hua Twelve laughed: "Don't make a fuss, it's not a big deal!"

Li Heman and the others looked at each other, and the former asked, "Old Qiao, didn't you invest 50,000 yuan? How can you not be anxious about this?"

The others also said, "Old Qiao, you don't care about your money, but we can't. We are all starving, and our wives at home are asking for a divorce. It's so frustrating!"

Li Heman told them to shut up: "Old Qiao, you are the most promising among us brothers. You have to help us think of a way to get the money back!"

Hua Shier took out a cigarette and someone immediately lit it for him.

He exhaled a puff of smoke and then said:

"Didn't Xu Funian say he would call the police? Then let's do it. This is a fraud. My 50,000 yuan is involved. The amount is huge. This is a major case. Once he is arrested, the money will be recovered. Although it may not be all, we can recover some of the losses!"

Hua Shier and Li Heman went directly to the police station to report the case. When the police heard that the amount involved was more than 60,000 yuan and that the victim was a celebrity in the Jinling cultural circle, they immediately attached great importance to it.

Well, Hua Twelve himself has 50,000, and the others together have more than 10,000!

The police who were recording the confession didn't understand: "Mr. Qiao, why did you invest so much money?"

Hua Twelve said innocently, "You know I'm an artist, I have a simple mind and I'm devoted to art. I don't know how treacherous people are. I just trust my friends, but I didn't expect them to be so unreliable!"

Hearing him say that he was simple-minded, Li Heman felt a little nauseous. Hua Twelve turned to look at him and asked with concern:

"Lao Li, are you pregnant?"

This is really not a provocation, it's a post-sales investigation.

Li Heman pinched his fingers together, his face turned purple: Who should I choose? If we weren’t in the police station, I would fight you to the death!

After the police intervened in the investigation, Xu Funian was arrested within three days.

The police investigating the case told Hua Shier and others that Xu Funian had put the money aside for his death, and had never touched it, let alone traded seafood. It was pure fraud.

However, even if the money is recovered, it cannot be returned to them immediately. It has to wait until the case is decided before the recovered stolen money can be returned to the victims.

When Li Heman and the others heard that the money had been recovered without a single cent missing, they thanked them profusely and said that it was enough as long as it was recovered.

July 15, 1983 was the national unified college entrance examination date.

Hua Shier and He Qing, along with several other children from the Qiao family, sent Qiao Yicheng to the examination room.

Also coming to see them off to the exam were Qi Zhiyuan and Wei Shufang. Their eldest son Qi Weimin and Qiao Yicheng were in the same examination room.

Shortly after the college entrance examination, Qi Weimin and Qiao Yicheng both received admission letters and successfully entered their favorite universities.

Unlike the original plot, Qiao Yicheng's college entrance examination score surpassed Qi Weimin because of a good learning environment, and he became the top scorer in the Jinling liberal arts college entrance examination, while Qi Weimin ranked second.

After receiving the transcripts, both families were delighted. The Qi family set up several tables for the graduation banquet. Hua Twelve did not prepare one for Qiao Yicheng, but took out a room book:

"Here, this is a gift from Daddy for you to get into college!"

When Qiao Yicheng took it and looked at it, his eyes widened immediately. This property deed was not his own, but the property deed of a small Western-style building on Jiangsu Road!

Hua Twelve smiled and said, "This is what your father bought for you. Isn't your father kind enough?"

Qiao Yicheng was speechless, Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Sanli looked envious, and Qiao Simei shouted, "I want one too."

Hua Twelve waved his hand and said, "If you can get into university, I will treat you all equally. You can choose any house in Beijing, Shanghai, or Nanjing. No matter which city you are admitted to, I will give you a corresponding house!"

No one knew that he bought a house, and the children were stunned by his lavish spending today.

In early August, Xu Funian's case was sentenced. Hua Shier originally estimated that he would be sentenced to fifteen years, or life imprisonment.

However, Xu Funian was unlucky and was sentenced to death and executed immediately. This would have been a disaster if it had not happened before.

After the matter in Jinling was settled, Hua Shier took He Qing to her hometown.

The two of them have settled their relationship, and they have to meet each other's parents.

According to He Qing's idea, he would let the two elders accept it slowly in the future. However, Hua Twelve thought that if he stuck his head out, he would be in danger. It would happen sooner or later, so why was he still so nervous?

What he didn't expect was that He Qing's father was happily calling him brother the previous second, but the next second when he heard the news, his eyes rolled back and he suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

Hua Shier quickly used the Great Circulation Acupuncture Method to rescue him, and after some emergency treatment, he brought his future father-in-law back from the brink of death.

Fortunately, after examination at the hospital, it was proved that He's father had already had the disease. The news that Hua Shier and He Qing were together during the period when the disease was just beginning only triggered the disease in advance. In a sense, it was just in time.

However, the doctors in the hospital were very shocked. With a sudden cerebral hemorrhage as serious as Mr. He's, he would have been dead even if he had been sent to the hospital in time. They didn't understand how Hua Twelve could stop the bleeding with just two silver needles.

After listening to the doctor's opinion, He's mother's attitude towards Hua Twelve improved a lot, and she was not so opposed to their relationship. After all, if Hua Twelve had not been here this time, if the disease had occurred at other times, the pillar of the family might have been gone. This time, the disease was induced in advance and saved He's father's life.
