Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

Chapter 517 I want to hug you right away

Xu Qingsong drove his own car to the airport to pick people up - Liu Nanshan and his friends had already returned from the hot spring resort and arrived home in the evening of the tenth day. Liu Wangxue left for a business trip on the morning of the tenth day. When Liu Nanshan and his friends found out, they were worried that it would be inconvenient for her to go to the airport without a car at home, so they said they would come back a day earlier. However, Liu Wangxue persuaded them to stop, saying that Xu Qingsong had already borrowed a car from Shen Nian'an and there was no need to come back earlier. Besides, the room fee had already been paid, and they would not refund it if they did not stay. So the six elders followed the original plan and came back after having fun.

Because Du Yunkai and Cha Cha were also there, Xu Qingsong estimated the number and size of the suitcases and decided not to bring the three little ones with him, so that the uncle and nephew could sit more spaciously in the back seat.

Naturally, romance was out of the question, so Xu Qingsong booked a restaurant considering the child's taste. After picking up everyone, they went to have dinner first. After dinner, seeing that there was still time, he bought tickets to watch an animated movie that Cha Cha liked, as a way of wishing the child a happy birthday in advance.

It was past nine o'clock when we got home. Cha Cha had fallen asleep in Du Yunkai's arms on the way and didn't wake up when Du Yunkai carried her out of the car.

Liu Nanshan had made some ginger milk at home for Cha Cha to eat when she came back, but when he saw this, he decided not to eat it and asked Du Yunkai to quickly take the child and put him to bed.

Du Yunkai carried Cha Cha to Xu Qingsong's courtyard. He and Cha Cha lived with Xu Qingsong for the next few days. Although the studio had complete facilities, it was still inconvenient to live there with a child.

Gu Xuelan was afraid that Du Yunkai couldn't take good care of him, so she went over to take a look, thinking of lending a hand. However, Du Yunkai had taken care of Cha Cha since he was born, and even changed his diapers, so he had already mastered everything. Seeing that there was nothing for Gu Xuelan to help with, she gave him a few instructions and went back.

Du Yunkai changed Cha Cha into pajamas, tucked him into bed, wrung out a hot towel to wipe his face and feet, left on a bedside lamp, and then went out to Liu Wangxue's courtyard.

On Liu Wangxue's side, Gu Xuemei and the others have not left yet. The original plan was to stay here for half a month, but then they thought, since they are already here, they might as well go back after the Lantern Festival.

At this moment, everyone was sitting at the dining table in the living room of the small building, each holding a bowl of ginger milk, eating and chatting.

Liu Nanshan looked up and saw Du Yunkai coming over. He quickly raised his hand and asked him to sit down. Everyone asked about Cha Cha's condition. Du Yunkai said, "She was sleeping very soundly. She didn't even wake up when I changed clothes."

Liu Nanshan had finished the bowl in his hand, put it down and said, "Then I'll make it for him tomorrow. He liked it last time."

Du Yunkai first thanked Liu Nanshan on behalf of Cha Cha, and then listened to them continue talking about the previous topic. They said that the town held a Lantern Festival this year, right in the central park.

The park is not far from the street where the morning market is located. Gu Xuelan, Gu Xuemei and Yuan Lianyun heard about it this morning when they went to the morning market to buy vegetables. The three sisters even turned over to take a look.

Gu Xuelan said to Liu Wangxue, "We haven't been to the town much since we came here. I didn't expect the park in the middle of the street to be so big, with all kinds of lanterns hung inside. I walked from one end to the other with your aunt and uncle, and when we got out, guess what happened?"

"What's the matter?" Liu Wangxue had finished eating, put down the bowl and spoon, and asked very cooperatively.

"It's actually Wutong Avenue." said Gu Xuelan.

Liu Wangxue knew Wutong Avenue, which was right next to the town's middle school. She and Xu Qingsong had made an online appointment to come and look at the house, so they arrived early and went there when they were strolling around town. Liu Wangxue recalled, "I remember there was no park there either? When was it built?"

"It's not newly built, it has always been there." Gu Xuelan said, "The intersection we went to that time was near the middle school, and the one we came out of the park was at the other end of Wutong Avenue."

"Oh——" Liu Wangxue understood.

Gu Xuemei said, "I noticed that Wutong Avenue has also been decorated, and there are many stalls, all of which look uniform in style. They said that there will be a night market tomorrow night."

"That's great," Song Ningwei replied, "We can go shopping together tomorrow to save you from being bored."

Gu Xuemei rolled her eyes at him: "I'm not bored, thank you."

After talking for a while, the elders decided to go to the lantern festival and night market together tomorrow night.

Yuan Lianyun asked the three young people present: "Didn't Qingsong say that your studio will have a day off tomorrow? Why don't you go out for a walk? Xuxu just came back from work, so don't stay at home all the time, go out and have some fun and relax."

"That's right," Gu Xuehui also said, "I remember that there seemed to be a Lantern Festival at the hot spring resort. The decoration had already started on the day we came back. It seemed to be quite grand. You young people, why don't you go there and have some fun?"

Originally they wanted to stay in the resort and wait for the Lantern Festival, but when they calculated the time was still four or five days away, the total cost of accommodation in three guest rooms would be quite a bit.

Although Liu Wangxue paid for the accommodation this time, Gu Xuemei still felt bad because she always felt that it was not easy for children to earn money. If she gave the money back to the child, Gu Xuemei would feel that it would be very strange. She knew Liu Wangxue's personality in spending money. He really inherited Gu Xuelan and Liu Nanshan, exactly - he was very generous to people close to him, and he believed that if I was happy, I would be happy too. If Gu Xuemei really gave the money back to Liu Wangxue, it would also destroy the atmosphere of everyone being happy. So she thought that when she returned, she would ask Liu Wangxue's cousin to help choose a gift for Liu Wangxue to send over. Even if they were blood relatives, they had to have a give-and-take relationship to last.

Of course, these were Gu Xuemei's personal thoughts, which she didn't say out loud. They were mainly discussing whether to continue staying at the resort. The result of the discussion was that they would not stay there, because they had already played and experienced everything there, and there was no need to spend that much money for a lantern festival. They also stopped coming on the Lantern Festival because they felt it was quite tiring. The journey was not short, but it crossed the entire city, and they had a lot of luggage. Most importantly, no matter how good the hotel was, it was not as convenient as being at home.

What a coincidence! There is also a Lantern Festival in the town, which makes up for this little regret.

Older people don’t want to make trouble, but young people are different, so Gu Xuehui asked Liu Wangxue and the other three.

Xu Qingsong also knew about the Lantern Festival at the hot spring resort two days ago. Beibei and Kangkang told him. Junior uncle Xie Zhuoyi and his family did not come back for the Spring Festival because Beibei and Kangkang had the flu and had a high fever. After the fever subsided, it took another week for the cold to recover.

——So during the days when Xu Qingsong was not back, he always reminded Liu Wangxue to pay attention to her dressing, eating and rest schedule, for fear that she would get sick without anyone taking care of her.

After the twins recovered, Xie Zhuoyi and his family returned. They had not spent the Spring Festival at home, so they had to come back to spend the Lantern Festival with the old couple no matter what.

The day before yesterday, Beibei and Kangkang called Liu Wangxue as soon as they came back, but Liu Wangxue was still on the plane to Hai City at that time, and the call didn't go through. The twins then called Xu Qingsong again, telling him that there was a Lantern Festival and asked him if he wanted to take Liu Wangxue over to play.

The twins said, "Brother, there are so many people here right now. I think it will be hard to book a hotel. My mom has already prepared the guest room. Why don't you and sister-in-law stay at my house when you come over?"

Xu Qingsong felt that Liu Wangxue might not want to live there, so he told the twins that she was on a business trip and might not be back during the Lantern Festival. Moreover, he only had one day off on the 15th, so even if she went, she could only have lunch and would have to come back.

After Xu Qingsong hung up the phone, he still looked at the hotel, but there were no rooms available. He estimated that Liu Wangxue's plane should have landed, so he called her to talk to her.

Just as Xu Qingsong thought, Liu Wangxue really didn't want to go. She was a little embarrassed and felt that she would definitely be uncomfortable living there. The main reason was that Xu Qingsong only had one day off, and she wanted him to have a good rest.

So after discussing it, the two decided to spend this "Valentine's Day" at home.

Liu Wangxue also called the twins back to express her gratitude and apologize.

When asked by Gu Xuehui, Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong still said the same thing: they would not go and would just stay at home. Since there is one in the town, they might as well go shopping in the town.

Du Yunkai was somewhat tempted and wanted to take Cha Cha with him, but when he heard Xu Qingsong say that he couldn't book a hotel, he gave up the idea.

After finishing the ginger milk, Du Yunkai left after sitting for a short while. He had to go back to check on Cha Cha, worried that the child would be scared if he woke up and couldn't find him.

It was indeed getting late, so Xu Qingsong also got up and went back. Liu Wangxue's suitcase was still in his car, so he went with him.

Du Yunkai was right, Chacha did wake up. As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Chacha holding the door frame of the bedroom and calling for her uncle in a crying voice, with bare feet and no shoes. Waking up and finding himself in a completely unfamiliar place, it would be a lie to say that he was not scared, not to mention that Chacha wanted to go to the bathroom, but found that there was no bathroom in the room. No one responded to his call for uncle, and he felt uncomfortable and panicked, and couldn't help wanting to cry.

Du Yunkai walked over quickly and picked up Cha Cha. He touched his little feet, and the soles of his feet were cold. "When did you wake up?"

"I just got up," Cha Cha hugged Du Yunkai's neck tightly, tears still falling, "Uncle, where have you been?"

Du Yunkai wrapped Cha Cha in his coat, kissed the child's cheek, and patted her head soothingly: "Uncle went to Aunt Liu's house next door to sit for a while, and we are now at Uncle Xu's house."

Chacha squeezed her legs together, and Du Yunkai noticed it immediately and asked him, "Are you going to the bathroom?" Chacha said, "I can't find it. It's not in the bedroom."

"The bathroom here is not in the bedroom." Du Yunkai carried him to the bathroom.

In the yard, Xu Qingsong helped Liu Wangxue take down the suitcase, and took down Du Yunkai's suitcase as well. Cha Cha's suitcase had been taken down and carried in after the car stopped, because Du Yunkai wanted to change the child's pajamas.

Before the trunk was closed, Xu Qingsong hugged Liu Wangxue and complained in a low voice: "It's all Du Yunkai's fault. I didn't hug you properly the first time."

Liu Wangxue hugged him back: "Lower your head and give me a kiss. I missed you so much."

This time, there were three interviews, including the launch conference. Although the other two interviews had rehearsals and scripts, Liu Wangxue was still quite nervous during the recording. After all, it was different from the cameras she faced in her previous live broadcasts. The rhythm of the live broadcast was completely controlled by her. If she encountered questions she didn't want to answer, she could pretend not to see them. However, the rhythm of the program recording was controlled by the host. She couldn't pretend not to hear the host's questions.

Fortunately, when recording "Behind the Scenes" in Nanshi, the host Ning Jianbing had his own professional ethics. The entire interview was conducted according to the process, and the content was similar to the script. There were also improvisations, but they did not deviate from the topic, and they would not ask questions that were irrelevant to the show and uncomfortable in order to attract attention and traffic. Even if the female host next to her may have received some instructions from the program director, Ning Jianbing blocked and resolved the conversation as soon as she started. Therefore, the recording here was smooth.

There were no problems at the launch promotion conference. The reporters present basically focused on the drama itself and the male and female lead CP. Occasionally there were one or two malicious questions, but Liu Wangxue solved them herself.

When recording "Drama with Material" in Haishi, things were not so smooth. There were rehearsals and scripts before recording, but not long after the recording started, things started to go wrong. Liu Wangxue experienced firsthand what it meant to "die without entertainment."

Those pan-entertainment questions were fine, she could just deal with them, but the host suddenly got into a trance and brought the topic to the cyberbullying incident on New Year's Day. Mai Yuwei, Shu Mingyuan and Yan Zhengyu were all standing by and watching, and were about to step in and call for a stop when they heard the words, but were stopped by Liu Wangxue's eyes.

Liu Wangxue thought, no wonder she had a hunch during the rehearsal that the host seemed unfriendly, but she couldn't find any clear signs and thought she was being too sensitive. It turned out that the other party had been holding back. Now she wanted to hear what ivory could come out of a dog's mouth.

It turns out that you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth.

The host also titled the question she asked "questions from netizens", but in fact she was just reading back the questions that were asked on the Internet at the time with malicious speculation.

Liu Wangxue didn't get angry after hearing this. She wouldn't get angry because it wasn't worth it. She just relaxed and leaned back in her chair, watching the other person's performance quietly. She didn't respond to any of the questions raised by the other person. She even had the mood to think that it had been so many years since the Jing Yujun incident, but the program crew still hadn't changed their bad behavior. No wonder he was unwilling to come here for an interview again.

Yan Zhengyu was very angry and took out his phone to call his brother, cursing: "What a shitty host! I don't think she is suitable for this job. Go eat shit!"

Before the call was made, Shu Mingyuan stopped him and nodded to signal him to look at Mai Yuwei.

Mai Yuwei had already called Anding with her mobile phone. Anding had not expected that the production team would still mess up the program even though the terms and conditions were clearly written in black and white. He was accompanying Du Yunxiang at the time. They were going to meet a partner, so they wanted to take a look first.

When Du Yunxiang heard this, he asked Anding to call the program director directly and ask him what was going on.

Du Yunxiang had advised Jing Yujun about the interview beforehand, but Jing Yujun just wouldn't give in. However, this show has a lot of traffic, and Du Yunxiang wanted to use this show to promote the drama. After weighing the pros and cons, she finally let Liu Wangxue take the interview. She also explained the pros and cons to Liu Wangxue in advance. If Liu Wangxue didn't agree, she wouldn't force it. If Liu Wangxue agreed, she also promised that it would be a normal and professional interview, and there would never be a similar incident like Jing Yujun's. In this situation, Du Yunxiang felt that the program team was slapping her in the face.

Besides, Jing Yujun finally gave in now. Du Yunxiang asked Anding to relay that if the production team didn't want this "clearing up past grievances", they could just say so. Was this duplicity purely to disgust her? It's not like they couldn't contact other platforms for the drama promotion.

The person in charge could not have imagined that he had given many instructions before the recording, but after the recording started, he answered a phone call at home and walked away for a while, and this happened. He hurried back and questioned them, only to find out that it was the director who asked him to do so, and the purpose was simple, just to increase traffic.

Du Yunxiang said: "If that's the case, then forget it."

The cooperation was cancelled, and Anding was asked to notify Yunxi's legal department to take time to discuss the matter of compensation for breach of contract.

The person in charge was both angry and anxious. In a rage, he asked the director and host to get out without even reporting. Then he called someone to come and save the situation, and the program was able to be recorded smoothly.

Before leaving, Du Yunxiang asked Mai Yuwei about what happened in the morning. With so much traffic surrounding Lou Rui, she felt that the director probably wouldn't let him go.

Mai Yuwei said: "Everything is normal, he shouldn't dare."

Just like “water can carry a boat but can also capsize it”, the director was afraid of being backfired by Lou Rui’s traffic, so he had the desire but not the courage to do so. But Liu Wangxue was different. She had traffic, but she was not in the circle and had no fans, so his desire and courage went hand in hand.

After this episode, the recording time was delayed a bit, and it ended a bit late. Before leaving, Yan Zhengyu was still furious, and his fingers wanted to poke a hole in the screen of his mobile phone, just to complain to his brother.

Halfway through dinner, Yan Zhengyu received a call from his brother, saying that he had found out that the director was fine, as was his usual style of dealing with people and treating them differently, but the host had some connection with Liu Wangxue.

Liu Wangxue was puzzled: "I don't think I knew her before?" She had no impression of this host at all.

Yan Zhengyu groaned, frowning, "It was the anchor who spread rumors and slandered you, her name was Axun. This little host was her friend. After that incident, Axun was banned and sued by Yunxiang's legal department. She wasn't a good person anyway. She was also accused of instigating minors to give gifts. She's having a hard time now, and her friend thought that you were to blame, so she caused this... Oh, what a mess."

Shu Mingyuan followed up with a sarcastic remark: "Oh, what a deep sisterly love!"

Yan Zhengyu didn't frown this time, and laughed: "Since you can't bear to see your sister suffer, then go and accompany her, hahahaha..." The director was the same. A small star he pursued before had also been plotted against by this guy. He would definitely find a chance to give that guy a lesson, considering both the old and new ones.

Liu Wangxue was not so saintly as to persuade Yan Zhengyu to forget about it, so she tactfully reminded him to be careful. The choice was made by themselves, and no one forced them. Since they had made the choice, they had to bear the consequences themselves.

Liu Wangxue didn't let them tell Xu Qingsong about what happened during the show. If she had to tell him, she would tell him by herself. She would definitely act like a spoiled child to Xu Qingsong. When she came out of the studio, she felt that Xu Qingsong's worries were not unreasonable. It was easy to feel tired when encountering annoying people and things. At that moment, she especially hoped that Xu Qingsong could be by her side. She could hug him and he would feel better immediately.

Hey, now it's okay, she is back, Xu Qingsong is right in front of her, not only can she hug her, but she can also kiss her.

Liu Wangxue agreed with Xu Qingsong's complaint very much. It was all Du Yunkai's fault. She also wanted to hug Xu Qingsong as soon as possible.

Xu Qingsong held Liu Wangxue tightly. Anyway, they were standing at the rear of the car and could not be seen from the living room, nor were they facing the gate. He wanted to deepen the kiss.

However, just as their lips touched, they heard Du Yunkai's voice that ruined the mood: "Lao Xu, Lao Xu, come and help me!"

Xu Qingsong felt depressed from head to toe in an instant.

Liu Wangxue couldn't help wanting to laugh. Du Yunkai was still calling "Old Xu, Old Xu" in the living room, so she raised her hand and touched Xu Qingsong's head: "Go and check, maybe something happened to Cha Cha."

The two walked towards the living room door, and Xu Qingsong did not forget to pull Du Yunkai's suitcase over. Then Du Yunkai was seen holding Cha Cha, who leaned her head on his shoulder, as if she had fallen asleep.

Liu Wangxue was a little worried: "What's wrong with Cha Cha? Does she have a fever?"

"No, it's okay," Du Yunkai said, "I'm brushing his teeth, he's too sleepy to stand, Lao Xu, can you help me hold him, I haven't finished brushing yet."

As he spoke, he handed Cha Cha, who was wrapped in a thick blanket, to Xu Qingsong's arms. Xu Qingsong had no choice but to take it resignedly and turned back to look at Liu Wangxue.

Liu Wangxue was amused by his sad eyes. She made a phone call gesture to him and said that she would go back first. She then said to Du Yunkai, "Just let me know if you need any help." There were three mothers in the family, so taking care of a child was not a problem.

Liu Wangxue turned and left. Xu Qingsong followed Du Yunkai to the bathroom with Cha Cha in his arms. Du Yunkai picked up Cha Cha's toothbrush, pinched his chin to make him open his mouth, then glanced at Xu Qingsong's face and asked with a smile, "What's that expression on your face? Are you so reluctant to hold a child?"

Xu Qingsong glanced at him and thought, what kind of expression could it be? It must be the expression of dissatisfaction and the look of wanting to kill someone after his good thing was interrupted again!
Du Yunkai turned his mind and suddenly realized what was going on. He immediately apologized: "Oh, I'm so sorry for disturbing you. Don't worry, I'll be there soon, right away--"
