I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 32 032. Life is like a movie, aftertaste determines victory

Yang Mi's first reaction was that Xu Xin was talking nonsense.

But it is at this juncture.

The door of the commercial vehicle was opened, revealing a face of a middle-aged man looking at this side... or looking at the girl with a "old father smile" expression...

Xu Daqiang, who happened to meet his son and the girl, first looked at the girl, then at Xu Xin, and nodded in satisfaction.

Well, very good.

……

"Hi Uncle, my name is Yang Mi, and I am Xu Xin's classmate."

The generous greeting instantly won Xu Daqiang's favor.

"This... Yang is so cute~ I'm Xu Xin's father. Come, come, please come in~"

Although Mandarin is a bit bad, in order to prevent the girl from being unable to understand, Xu Daqiang invited her in Mandarin with some awkwardness.

But the girl shook her head:
"No, no, Uncle Xu, I'm here today to give Xu Xin some Lantern Festival. I don't know if you'll come, or I'll bring some more. Then I'll leave and I won't bother you."

Yang Mi is leaving.

But Xu Xin didn't do it.

I've come all over here, isn't it just to watch a movie?

At the same time, he also saw the expression of his old man.

There must be a misunderstanding here.

So just say:

"Dad, this is my classmate, who is also the heroine of the film I made. People know that my film is finished editing, so I came to see it today and brought me some Lantern Festival. Dad, if you come to say hello in advance, I can do something Prepare."

"Ready to say wow, isn't that good wow?"

Xu Daqiang was still smiling.

Obviously he didn't believe his son's words.

Isn't it also an excuse that you and your female classmate went to the grove to kiss and I bumped into you.

Xu Xin also saw that his father didn't believe it.

But it doesn't matter, just make it clear in a while.

So he said to Yang Mi:
"Don't be in a hurry, let's watch a movie, shall we?"

"Don't don't..."

"Okay, I'm here, how can I run so far and can't watch the movie? I'm talking, it's only 13 minutes, very fast. Brother Li, I will trouble you, Dad, let's go together? Just take a look at me s work?"

After stopping the girl, Xu Xin continued to speak to Xu Daqiang.

Xu Daqiang was naturally happy.

Now that my son is promising, he has become an artist, so he must have a look, so he can show off to his family when he returns home.

So nodded:
"Well, that's great~"

"Then let's go... let's go?"

He asked Yang Mi again.

Now, Yang Mi couldn't say anything, so she could only nod her head:

"OK then."

So, Li Hao continued to move the special products brought from home.

For example, the most famous specialty millet before the coal mine was discovered, such as the half fan of mutton.

And Xu Xin brought Xu Daqiang and the girl to the screening room.

To tell the truth, he was also starting to get excited.

Although he is his own father, he is also a spectator after all, isn't he?

Real knowledge comes from practice, whether the film is good or bad...

The audience is the one who has the most say.

So, under the curious eyes of Xu Daqiang and Yang Mi, Xu Xin played the movie, and in the colorful space of the KTV corridor, Xu Sanjin, a drunk, caught their eyes.

……

13 minutes went by in a flash.

After reading, the film stops rotating.

Xu Xin's eyes fell on the faces of the two of them:
"How is it?"

When he asked this question, he was actually quite proud.

Not to face Yang Mi, but to face Dad.

Because at least for him, in these 13 minutes, whether it is a script, a shot or a line, it is a demonstration of his ability as a son.

It's like getting [-] points in a certain subject in an elementary school exam.

This one hundred percent cannot have any very specific value in your life.

But a compliment from your parents, or a gratifying look, or meeting your request in a good mood.

These things will be turned into the best memories, which will be hidden in my heart for a long time.

That's what Xu Xin thinks now.

Although he doesn't yearn for his father's praise like a child, at least he hopes his father can understand that his son has not let him down.

As for Xu Daqiang...

After reading it, the expression on his face seemed a little dull.

Or numb.

And just when Xu Xin was wondering, the middle-aged man's Adam's apple moved slightly, as if to say something to his son, but he didn't say it.

"..."

Suddenly he touched his pocket:
"Oh, I forgot the cigarettes in the car, go and get them."

"?????"

Xu Xin was dumbfounded.

Instantly speechless.

old man, this is...

Are you smoking at this juncture?
What do you mean?Do you not like it?What is it?
Are you even stingy with the words of evaluation?

Seeing his father walking away for no reason, Xu Xin felt a little blocked.

In an instant, the enthusiasm in my heart was extinguished a lot.

And Yang Mi also caught the look of astonishment + loss on his face looking at the departing father.

In fact, she didn't understand what was in her heart.

It's not about movies, but about...why is this Uncle Xu a little different.

After watching the movie, what are you anxious to smoke?

Let me talk about your feelings first, okay?

After all, this is your son's work and hard work.

Is it more important than that puff of cigarette?
Looking at Xu Xin's disappointed expression, the girl couldn't explain clearly, after all, this was a matter between father and son.

Thousands of words... finally turned into a firm voice:
"Xu Xin."

"……Um?"

"I think the movie is great!"

She looked at the boy in front of her seriously:
"At first glance, it looks like a drunkard's experience, but in fact this film is worth pondering! Do you know the famous director Yasujiro Ozu of RB?"

"Uh……"

Xu Xin shook his head slowly, and saw the girl looking at him with eyes that became more and more determined, so determined that they were even shining, and said word by word:

"Yasujiro Ozu said that life is like a movie, winning or losing is determined by the aftertaste! I think this movie is really good even if it is only 13 minutes!"

encourage?

Or sincerely?

Xu Xin couldn't tell the difference, but felt that...

At this moment, this sentence...is enough.

As a result, the disappointment on his face caused by his father's inexplicable "looking for cigarettes" gradually subsided.

Nod:
"Listen to this."

"……hey-hey."

The girl smiled, and then suddenly slapped her thigh:
"Okay, then I'm leaving?"

"……Walk?"

……

"No, I've already cooked mutton, can't you just have a meal here? Just watch a short video and leave when you come?"

At the door of the house, Xu Xin looked at the girl walking out with her pockets in her hands, and was speechless:

"Is it in such a hurry?"

"Isn't uncle here?"

Hearing his persuasion, Yang Mi shook her head:

"The Lantern Festival is spent with the family, and it's not appropriate for me to come here to eat. I was talking about sending you the Lantern Festival, so I left. Bye, see you at school."

Waving at Xu Xin, the girl looked left and right, and after seeing no one from Xu Daqiang, she added:
"Then I won't say hello to my uncle."

"……All right."

Seeing that he couldn't keep him, Xu Xin simply stopped forcing him to stay.

The girl responded, and just as she stepped down the steps, she suddenly paused...

"what happened?"

Seeing her turn her head, Xu Xin asked.

The girl hesitated at first, then became firm again:

"Don't quarrel with uncle. Today is the Lantern Festival, the last festival of the Spring Festival. This year has to have a beginning and an end. Quarrels on this day will not go well for a year, you know? Don't quarrel and have a good time. The Lantern Festival is sweet. , Eating sweet quarrels will cause tooth decay!"

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless, and also a little inexplicably funny.

The heart says you teach the child?

But when the words came to his lips, they turned into a dumbfounding nod:
"Understood, it's not a big deal, slow down on your way~"

"Let's go~"

The girl waved her hand, and the wavy curls tied into a ponytail flickered towards the subway entrance in the distance.

And Xu Xin stood at the door and saw her off after a few steps, then looked left and right...

It was found that Xu Daqiang was indeed not around here.

Strange, where did dad go?

How can you just leave?
With doubts, he called his father.

The originally depressed mood... maybe because of the girl, it became much calmer:

"Hey, Dad, where are you?"

"Dad bought wine, cough cough, chi chi."

Xu Daqiang's voice was suddenly a little strange.

It's like having a blocked nose.

"Buy wine?"

He couldn't help but look back at the room...

There are crates and crates of Moutai in the house, is there still a need to buy wine?

But he couldn't say anything, he could only say:

"Ok."

"Yeah, hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin went back to the house and packed up the film box.

In the time it took to light a cigarette, Xu Daqiang and Li Hao came back from the outside together.

He also carried a bag of fresh noodles in his hand, and two bottles of Fenjiu with a red label of 42 degrees in glass bottles.

Seeing this wine, Xu Xin was taken aback.

This wine... has a story to tell.

But before he opened his mouth, he heard Xu Daqiang say to Li Hao:
"then you go."

"okay."

Li Hao nodded, said hello to Xu Xin, and went outside directly.

After he left, Xu Xin asked in bewilderment:
"Why did Brother Li go?"

"Gifts."

Xu Daqiang said something while carrying noodles and wine.

Xu Xin understood in seconds.

The gifts that Xu Daqiang wants to give to some clients basically do not meet with them.

I can't see each other either.

They were all given to others by Li Hao, the driver.

Just take it and you're done.

Basically have to send once a year for festivals.

So he stopped asking, and Xu Daqiang asked:
"Huh? Where's the woman? What's boiled in the pot?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Xu Xin felt a little blocked, but when he thought of the girl's confession before leaving, he said:

"Lamb chops. They came to give me the Lantern Festival, and left after watching the movie."

When Xu Daqiang heard it, he didn't say anything, just nodded:
"Oh~ It's been cooking for a long time?"

"Ah."

"Okay, then you go to study, dad will call you after dinner."

"……it is good."

Xu Xin nodded, and had just returned to the house with a cigarette in his mouth when he suddenly heard a cell phone vibrate.

He took it out of his pocket and saw that it was from Li Hao.

"Sanjin, your dad cried in the supermarket just now. I'll just tell you, as long as you know."

Xu Xin was taken aback...

cry?
Dad is crying?
