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

Chapter 572: Get together in advance

Two days after the second recording, Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan returned to Taojia Village.

After they came back, Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong took the three children to Haishi. When they set out, they first turned into the city to deliver wedding invitations to Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi.

Arriving in Hai City in the afternoon, we first went to Du Yunkai's house. Wenxi was also there, and we had dinner together. Because Du Yunkai and Wenxi were going to be the best man and bridesmaid, Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong gave the invitation to Du Yunxiang, and also gave one to Du Shaohua and Yin Donglei.

The one for Du Yunxiang was given as a friend, and the ones for Du Shaohua and Yin Donglei were for courtesy. Du Yunxiang might not have time to attend, and Du Shaohua and Yin Donglei were even less likely to do so, but the courtesy should be there anyway.

The next day, Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong went to meet Jing Yujun and give him an invitation. Jing Yujun then took them to Meng Huadong's house.

That night, Liu Wangxue received a call from Du Yunxiang, saying that Sheng Zongjiang heard that she and Xu Qingsong were coming and wanted to invite them to dinner.

When writing the invitations some time ago, Liu Wangxue was struggling over whether to invite Sheng Zongjiang.

Liu Wangxue and Sheng Zongjiang did not have many interactions, mostly about work, but Sheng Zongjiang and his wife Haiqiong gave her a special feeling. However, sometimes she felt that she was being too sentimental, and thought that part of the kindness shown to her by Sheng Zongjiang and Haiqiong was the guilt caused by the Tang Songhe incident, and another part was probably the face of Du Yunxiang or the Du family.

Liu Wangxue discussed the matter with Xu Qingsong, who immediately understood her concerns. Because they were not from the same class and their personal relationship was not as good as that with Du Yunkai and Du Yunxiang, their kindness might be intentional for downward compatibility. She was worried that her behavior would be misinterpreted by others.

Xu Qingsong thought for a moment and then advised her: "There's no need to be so entangled. Just like the gift to Du Yunkai's parents, it's just a courtesy greeting. It's up to the other party to decide whether to come or not. After all, Mr. Sheng has helped you before. It's not reasonable to let him feel that we don't care about him."

Liu Wangxue planned to go to Shenghai headquarters after coming to Hai City. Regardless of whether she could meet Sheng Zongjiang or not, she could at least ask the front desk to help pass on the message. She also had Sheng Zongjiang's contact information, so she would call him and tell him when the time came.

Unexpectedly, before she and Xu Qingsong arrived, Sheng Zongjiang asked Du Yunxiang to send an invitation, and the two of them happily went there.

Sheng Zongjiang's wife Hai Qiong was also there, so Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong were the first to send out the invitations.

Sheng Zongjiang accepted the invitation, but said apologetically: "Originally, when we heard that you two were getting married, my wife and I wanted to go to the wedding to join in the fun, but unfortunately, my youngest daughter's graduation ceremony was also at that time, so my wife and I had to go abroad."

Sheng Zongjiang and his wife have a son and a daughter, both of whom are currently studying abroad. His daughter will graduate from university at the end of May.

Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong naturally said it didn't matter, and the child's graduation ceremony was definitely more important.

After the meal, Sheng Zongjiang and Hai Qiong gave them a gift, expressed their regret again, and jokingly asked, since they couldn’t drink the wedding wine, they should at least leave some wedding candy for them, right?

On the way back, Liu Wangxue said to Xu Qingsong: "Every time I meet Mr. Sheng and his wife, I wonder if there is any relationship between our family and theirs."

Xu Qingsong had only heard about it from her before, but after seeing it with his own eyes and experiencing it personally this time, he understood her feelings very well. He smiled and said, "I think your suspicion is very reasonable, because I feel the same way." Because Sheng Zongjiang and his wife treated them very close, just like ordinary elders treat their juniors.

The two of them were just joking when they said this, and in the end they attributed this feeling to the fact that they were kind-hearted people.

This time when I came to Hai City, I stayed in Du Yunkai's house, a river view house in Jiangpan Garden, with two households per elevator, and he bought both.

Du Yunkai and Wenxi lived here when they were recording the show. He actually wanted Wenxi to move here a long time ago, but Wenxi always disagreed.

Since the turnover of "Chunjian" increased significantly the year before last, Wenxi finally bought a house in Hai City. However, she didn't have time to take care of the decoration for a long time after buying the house. Later, she asked Du Yunkai to call a designer from Du's company to come and design it and help supervise it before the decoration was completed.

It was just completed after the Spring Festival this year. Wenxi even filmed a video to show Liu Wangxue. The house is over 200 square meters. The renovation did not consider the space utilization at all. Only one master bedroom was left. All other walls except the load-bearing walls were opened up. The only purpose was to make it comfortable and beautiful. Wenxi also said that after she moved in, she would ask Liu Wangxue to come over to help her warm up the house.

Wenxi originally wanted to film this variety show in the new house and let Du Yunkai move in, but Du Yunkai disagreed, thinking that it had only been renovated for two months and it was unsuitable for people to live in. So he came up with a plan, first to talk to Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong, and asked them to come to Haishi for the third filming and stay at his place, and then use this reason to persuade Wenxi to move in.

How could Wenxi not see through his little thoughts, but she agreed because she could live next door to her sisters.

This is great, the four of them will form a group first.

We went to the ancient town on the outskirts of the city on the first day, and went to Disney on the second day. Since we were tired from playing on the first two days, we stayed at home on the third day and didn't go anywhere. The four of us ate, chatted, played board games, and played with the three little ones, and this recording session ended.

After the filming was over, Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong did not go back, because the fourth recording was still in Hai City. So the two of them took the three children to send invitations to other people, some of whom Liu Wangxue knew in the crew and had a good relationship with, and some were former colleagues who still kept in touch with Xu Qingsong. Finally, they went to the headquarters of Jingshan Technology.

The purpose is to share the good news of the marriage, and say the same thing to everyone, no gift money will be charged, and everyone can go and have fun if they have time. If you are going, please let me know in advance because we need to arrange food, accommodation and so on.

Before the fourth recording session began, everyone gathered together in advance.

When the program was still in the stage of inviting guests, director Zheng Qingzhou planned to make it a familiar show, so he changed the format of the next three recordings to a "group variety show", and also informed each group of guests in advance, so everyone had an understanding of the overall process of the program.

Although it is a meeting of acquaintances, but if we list the relationships between the characters, we can only say that only Liu Wangxue knows everyone, including Han Zhenhao's amateur girlfriend Duan Yue.

During the filming of "The Halo Effect", Duan Yue went to visit Han Zhenhao's class. When they met by chance in the hotel, Han Zhenhao introduced her to Liu Wangxue. They only met once, but both of them left a friendly impression on each other.

Shen Xun's agent is Tan Xueqing. Compared with Duan Yue, she is much more familiar with Liu Wangxue. Because of work, the two became friends during the filming of "Moon Rising from Spring Stream". They would chat occasionally and send each other blessings during the New Year and other holidays.

So after the third recording session, Liu Wangxue suggested setting up a party so that everyone could get together in advance and get to know each other first, so that when the actual recording session comes, if there are any games or activities, everyone can relax.

We set up a chat group and decided on the time and place after discussion.

The restaurant was booked by Du Yunkai. It is a Chinese restaurant under Yan Zhengyu's family, and it is not far away.

Since it was Yan Zhengyu's house, the three little ones could naturally follow. Liu Wangxue, Xu Qingsong, Du Yunkai and Wenxi lived opposite each other, so they drove there together. After parking the car, the restaurant manager took them to the employee elevator upstairs to the private room.

They were the first to arrive, and after a short wait, Ni Jia and Lou Rui arrived. They already knew each other, so there was no need for introductions or small talk, they just sat down and started chatting.

The first thing Liu Wangxue was concerned about was their recent recording sessions. She asked, "How do you feel? Have your acting skills improved?"

Lou Rui and Ni Jia sighed one after another, each sigh longer than the last.

Xu Qingsong laughed: "What's wrong? You are so bitter and resentful."

Wenxi guessed: "It seems that the relationship didn't go well."

Du Yunkai added: "I haven't practiced my acting skills yet."

The four of them were having fun together, leaving the two victims with sad faces.

Lou Rui started talking quickly: "Sister Xuxu, you know, when I was filming "Moon Over Spring Stream", I always wanted to fall in love, but I haven't met my destiny in more than two years. This time Director Meng asked her to be on this variety show with me, and I thought, if I don't have it in real life, then I can experience it in front of the camera. After all, it's for the sake of filming the show. But!"

Lou Rui pointed at Ni Jia and said, "Ask her. She really won't cooperate at all!"

Ni Jia slapped his hand away and said, "Stop talking nonsense here! Sister Xuxu, let me tell you what the real situation is. You will know after watching the broadcast. He actually had the nerve to say that I didn't cooperate, when he was obviously the straight man who was ruining everything! All my careful plans were ruined by him!"

"You're still talking about me?" Lou Rui said in disbelief. "You're a straight woman who doesn't understand romance. Don't you know how many of my elaborate plans you've ruined?"

Ni Jia said sarcastically: "Of course I don't know, after all, I don't understand romance."

The two were just bickering, so the other four had no intention of trying to persuade them. They all ate snacks and sunflower seeds and watched the show from the front row. Liu Wangxue fed the peeled sunflower seeds to Gua Gua and said to Xu Qingsong, "I'm really looking forward to watching it."

Xu Qingsong was feeding Xiaoci cat food and nodded. He was also looking forward to it, but also felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that the director didn't know about this dinner party today, otherwise he could have filmed it and edited it in as a trailer."

Wenxi continued: "The title is 'Popular young actress and popular idol are suspected of quarreling and breaking up'?"

Du Yunkai also replied: "I don't know if there were any paparazzi following them when they came. Oh, the curtains in our private room are not drawn. What if they are photographed... Should I tell my sister first?"

The four of them laughed together.

Ni Jia & Lou Rui: "Brothers and sisters, please stop laughing."

Liu Wangxue broke off a piece of dessert and fed it to Peng Peng, then laughed: "Oh, you seem to be in sync at this moment."

Ni Jia glanced at Lou Rui with disdain.

Lou Rui said earnestly: "Fortunately, the last three episodes are recorded with the brothers and sisters. Don't forget what I told you, observe and learn carefully, and see how normal couples get along with each other."

Ni Jia was speechless again: "Normal couples kiss, hug and lift each other up, but you, I want to laugh when I look at you."

"Want to laugh" is a derogatory term here. Lou Rui refused to give in: "Do you think I don't want to laugh? Believe it or not, I will give you a 'Haha Song' after the show is recorded."

Ni Jia really laughed this time: "Okay, this is definitely my profit."

Before Lou Rui could say more, the door of the private room opened and Shen Xun and Tan Xueqing came in. Several people stood up to greet them.

Pengpeng and Guaguai also ran over to greet Ni Jia and Lou Rui. Guaguai acted as a "mouth substitute" to say hello, while Xiaoci still nestled proudly in Xu Qingsong's arms.

The first thing Tan Xueqing saw were the three little ones. Surprise instantly flashed in her eyes, and she said to Liu Wangxue, "Oh, you brought them too!"

She also followed Liu Wangxue's video account. She also has a dog, a schnauzer named Coal Ball.

Liu Wangxue pulled her in and said, "Yes, I've been following the crew before, and I didn't have much time to spend with them. It won't be long before we start filming again, so I'll keep them with me now to spend more time with them."

Tan Xueqing said: "Can I bring the coal briquettes with me tomorrow? Shen Xun and I are both out, and there is no one to take care of us at home."

There is no need to worry about feeding and watering the dog, as there are machines and people to help walk the dog. But dogs need companionship. Once Shen Xun joined the team, she couldn't go home for several months. When she was working before, she would always bring the dog with her if possible.

Tan Xueqing was asking for everyone's opinions, and of course everyone agreed.

Ni Jia and Lou Rui came together to welcome Shen Xun. They hadn't seen each other for a while. When they were filming "Halo Effect", it was not the same story, so they didn't meet. When they were filming "The Twenty-one Cases of Da Zhao", their characters had no intersection and they were not in the same group, so they didn't see each other either. Shen Xun and Ran Anyu really "rekindled their old relationship" in this drama this time. They played the prince and princess, a pair of loving lovers.

After introducing each other, everyone sat down again and chatted for a while. Then Han Zhenhao and Duan Yue arrived. There was a traffic jam on their way here, and they had already told everyone in the group in advance.

After everyone arrived, Du Yunkai asked the waiter to bring the menu. He had already ordered some dishes when he booked the private room, so now he wanted to let everyone see if there was anything else they wanted to eat.

They chatted in between ordering food, mainly to take care of Duan Yue, so everyone's topic was basically focused on her and Han Zhenhao.

After ordering the dishes, a while later, the door of the private room opened again. Everyone thought that the waiter had come to serve the dishes. Everyone was hungry, and the three little ones had already finished their dinner.

When I turned around, I saw that it was not a waiter, but director Zheng Qingzhou, who was accompanied by several cameramen and staff members.

Everyone was confused. What was going on?

Zheng Qingzhou raised his hand and pointed at them: "You are really not nice. You didn't even inform the director about the dinner party. Don't you know that the program needs materials?"

As he said this, he instructed the staff to put microphones on them.

Liu Wangxue asked: "No, Director, where did you get the news?"

Zheng Qingzhou replied: "I naturally have my own way."

Lou Rui narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone: "Is there a traitor?"

Ni Jia squinted his eyes in the same way: "Who?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Zheng Qingzhou was distressed: "I said that the dinner party is not illegal, why didn't you inform me?"

Everyone laughed and explained: "This is for the sake of the group show. We should familiarize ourselves with the show in advance so that it will be easier to record."

The waiter came to serve the dishes at this time. Zheng Qingzhou moved aside, and Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai took the opportunity to pull him over to sit down.

Zheng Qingzhou waved his hand and said, "You guys eat your food, don't worry about us, just pretend we don't exist. I'm just here to record some footage and then edit it into the pilot film." As he said that, he went behind the cameraman.

Everyone then asked Zheng Qingzhou and the program crew members who came with him whether they had eaten. If not, they would set up the equipment and order some dishes for them to eat together.

Of course I haven't eaten yet. Zheng Qingzhou came here in a hurry from the company. He heard it from Anding, who naturally knew it from Du Yunxiang...

Since the director didn't go to the table, the staff naturally stayed at their posts. Du Yunkai told the waiter who came to serve the food to prepare another table and invite the director and others to eat after the recording was finished.

There are many topics to talk about among acquaintances, and the meal can be a very enjoyable one.

After the show ended, when the production crew packed up and went to eat, Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong took out the invitations and handed them to Shen Xun and Han Zhenhao respectively, inviting them to go and have fun when they were free.

Lou Rui thought the invitation was for everyone, but he found out that except for the two couples, no one else got one, so he asked.

Ni Jia patted him on the shoulder and said, "What invitation do you, a wedding singer, need?" She, the bridesmaid, didn't even have one.

Lou Rui was a little embarrassed and said to Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong: "I have never been to a wedding before, so I don't know."

He suddenly understood and said to Ni Jia, "We are the wedding staff!"

Everyone laughed together, and Xu Qingsong and Liu Wangxue said, "Well, the staff has something else."

Han Zhenhao and Duan Yue were both free a few days before and after May 520 and said they would definitely go. Shen Xun would not take any other work except this variety show. After all, he had signed a contract with the crew and the filming would start in early June. Tan Xueqing was only Shen Xun's agent, so they all had time and said they would go.

Everyone parked their cars at different locations, so we said goodbye to each other after getting off the elevator and saw each other off on the day of recording.
