Chapter 9 [Serial 5] Marry Yingda

Yingda completed her credits in the United States at the fastest speed. On July 13, 1989, we finally registered our marriage at the Dongcheng District Sub-district Office. I actually walked into that home, rolled up my sleeves and started being a "housewife".I first opened the closet and found all the "treasures" that Yingda's mother had stored for many years: large bundles of cloth, large stacks of masks, and many that will never be used again. Every person who has experienced "difficult times" The daily necessities that the mother will keep.I distribute them to neighbors and relatives.

Then, I made an even more amazing move: I rolled out the antique rug that had been purchased for many years and was still as new.It was a beautiful carpet, bought by Yingda's father through a friend.It is rolled up at the root of the sofa all the year round.In the past, his mother would only open it when important guests came, and then order everyone to go barefoot. When I opened it, Yingda's father was still reading the newspaper.He looked at me in surprise, and after a long pause he asked, "Is it paved every day?" "Ah!" I said firmly without raising my head.

"What if it's dirty?" He whispered. "Wash!" I said. "What if it's broken?" His voice grew louder. "Buy another one!" I tidied up quickly. "That's right!" he muttered, and said nothing more. I cleared out one of the largest black closets in the house and called in the old furniture peddler from the street. "How much can it sell for?" I asked. He knocked on the wood and shook his head: "No." "You take the 5 yuan." I said anxiously. He still shook his head: "It's all plywood, so I can't sell it at a price."

"No money." I was cruel, "I'm giving it to you! Pull it down." He still didn't want it, he left.The closet has no backsplash at all, and over the years it sits directly against the wall and the clothes in it get whitewashed.I carried it downstairs and threw it next to the trash can. At the end of August, I was preparing to accept a film "Yellow River Ballad" directed by Teng Wenji.I acted as the heroine, and Yingda had no job at that time, so she went to Xi'an with me to be the assistant director of that play.We came up with some ideas for enriching the script in Xi'an.We were back in Beijing while we were revising the script, and that's when I found out I was pregnant.

"Do you want this child?" I asked Yingda. "Go ahead!" Yingda said firmly, "Anyway, sooner or later, I will have to." "What about the play? It's a good opportunity. I should act for a few more years." "That's right," Yingda said, "then don't ask for it." "Why don't you want our baby?" I stared at him, "Why do you want to kill it?" I started to make trouble for no reason, started to have mother panic, started to act like a baby and find reasons to cry.Yingda coaxed me for a long time, we decided to have a baby, and immediately told Teng Wenji the news.

I am so excited to be getting ready to be a mother.It was still very hot in Beijing in August and September. I put on loose maternity clothes and ate without any scruples every day.Finally, I can stop worrying about gaining weight.I am growing meat at the fastest speed, and I am very proud to bask in the sun downstairs every afternoon. "Dandan is pregnant?" The neighbors in the building asked me when they saw me wearing maternity clothes. "Of course!" I replied proudly. "How long has it been?" People looked at me with my belly puffed out. "It's been more than a month!" I tried hard to control the happy expression.Everyone who heard my answer laughed out loud, because the child was only about the size of a soybean at this time, and my stomach was already not small.

In this way, I was preparing to be a mother at home, and Yingda was filming "Yellow River Ballad" in Shaanxi and continued to be his assistant director.Before the filming of the play was finished, Yingda came back and said that Director Teng asked him to come back and write the script of the next play.Yingda was really writing, and he was very serious, and soon found out that people just made an excuse to withdraw him.No one ever wanted to use what he wrote.I think he must have been very "serious" in his work when he joined the film crew for the first time, he must have looked very "smart", and he must have given a lot of advice to many people. Deep and shallow, come here to point fingers. If he doesn't leave, let's go!" Director Teng must have run out of options, and was afraid that the filming would not be able to continue, so he thought of a way not to hurt Yingda's self-esteem, and he was the first to act. came back.Even though it was logical, I was as exasperated as a mother whose child has been bullied.I said to the production director who came to my house to send Yingda the manuscript fee: "Please tell Teng Wenji that Song Dandan said he is a hypocritical villain.
