I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 654 651. Ordinary sees true knowledge

  New Year's Eve definitely needs some sense of ritual.

  For Xu Xin, the must-haves for New Year's Eve must not be serious.

   It is also strange to say.

  The two of them are really clingy too much.

  As long as the baby is sleeping, as long as there is no one around, then think about it for a while.

   When the New Year’s bell rang, Xu Xin said in his wife’s ear:

"Happy New Year."

  Too affectionate.

  Yang Mi’s answer is more straightforward:

"Um…"

  Hello in 2011, goodbye in 2010.

  …

  At the beginning of the new year, early in the morning, Xu Xin pushed away his daughter-in-law in disgust.

  My arms are numb.

  Deadly, deadly, like a pig.

   After pushing it away, he went straight into the bathroom.

   After coming out again, there are still drops of water on the face.

   Then, he took two pieces of diapers and changed them for the big baby girl and the old BURDEN son who were also sleeping, and walked out of the bedroom with two heavy packs of diapers.

   Came to the study room, boiled a pot of water, picked up the English textbook from the language school that Ai Qing brought him, and continued to recite words.

  English is a matter of accumulation, as long as enough words are accumulated, then one day quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.

  So, since he came back from Venice, he basically didn't waste the morning time.

  Even if I’m going to do errands, I’ll let myself memorize seven or eight words in the car, and then take advantage of my spare time to change my mind, and go through the lines memorized that day in my mind.

   After memorizing for a while, Yang Dalin appeared at the door:

   "Is Mimi up yet?"

"without."

   "Have braised noodles in the morning, okay?"

"ah?"

  Xu Xin was a little surprised:

   "Is it so grand in the morning?"

  People in Yanjing are very particular about making stewed noodles, not to mention that Yang Dalin learned the recipe of making stewed noodles from a local elder brother in Tianjin in his early years, and the ingredients are even more particular.

  Hand-rolled noodles, there are many kinds of brine.

   It is outrageous to be delicious.

  Xu Xin can eat at least two bowls.

   It's just trouble.

  Hearing this, Yang Dalin laughed:

"It's the beginning of the new year. And Qianqian also thinks that the food in the confinement center is light. I'm going to deliver food to her now. After a while, Mimi wakes up. You ask her to boil it for you, and the marinade is in the pot. Dog me The two of you are gone too, don't worry about anything."

   "Eh, good."

  Xu Xin responded.

   Then I felt a little emotional in my heart...

  Sometimes I really don’t know what to do without my father-in-law and mother-in-law in my life.

  Yang Mi is a temperament who prefers to live a small life, especially she doesn't like unfamiliar outsiders staying at home.

  So the two of them never hired a nanny.

  Since Yang Mi became pregnant, his father-in-law and mother-in-law moved in, so he never cared about the trivial matters in life.

  Three meals a day, hygiene at home, etc...

  Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this.

   But he really didn't care once.

   Completely hanged by his wife.

  He also tried to help in the early stage, such as sweeping the floor or mopping the floor to wipe the table... But Yang Mi detested his clumsiness, and after several times, he didn't care.

   I lived a very happy life.

   Eat when you get up in the morning, and just do your own thing after eating, and don’t worry about anything else.

   Like today.

  It takes at least an hour and a half to make stewed noodles from stewed stew to rolling noodles.

  You can eat hot food when you get up, and you don’t even have to walk the dog.

   What a fairy day.

   While thinking about it, there was a sound of slippers in the corridor outside.

   Yang Mi, with disheveled hair and a big T-shirt, walked in half asleep.

   "Are you up?"

"Um…"

  Yang Mi replied in a daze, and came directly to his side, sat on her lap, and got into his arms.

  A scent of a woman's body mixed with the warmth of the blanket rushed into Xu Xin's nostrils.

   "Husband~"

"Um?"

"like you…"

  She tried her best to arch into Xu Xin's arms, and said in a moaning voice.

  Xu Xin couldn't read this English book anymore.

   hugged her and said:

   "When will we leave?"

   "Don't you still want to go to Director Zhang?...I have sent out invitations in the past few days before going back."

  The wedding of the two will be on the 15th, and all the costumes will be shipped back on the 3rd, and then we will go back to prepare for the wedding.

   Actually, it was said to be preparing for the wedding, but the two of them didn't understand the specific process.

   are handed over to the elders of the family.

  This wedding is a very traditional and traditional rural wedding. There are no bells and whistles, just old traditions.

  Xu Xin didn't quite understand either.

  All were handed over to the family members Zhang Luo.

   "Then I will go tomorrow, tomorrow morning, and I will probably be back in the evening."

"Um…"

  Yang Mi stopped talking, and just curled up in his arms to enjoy the tenderness that hadn't dissipated.

   Until a voice came from the corridor:

   "Mom~"

  She who was still half asleep and half awake had no choice but to open her eyes:

   "Hey... the ancestor woke up."

   "Ha~"

  Xu Xin chuckled and said:

   "My dad made the stewed noodles, you go and feed the children, I'll make the noodles."

"Don't."

  When he heard that he was going to cook, Yang Mi, who was afraid that the kitchen would be blown up on the "New Year's Day", quickly shook her head:

   "You put it there, I'll feed them a meal first, and let's eat noodles together later."

"I can…"

   "Don't be too confident."

  Yang Mi continued to shake her head, and then walked out without looking back.

  Xu Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said in his heart that you really treat me like a waste?

  So...

  Yang Mi looked at the pot of mushy soup in the pot.

   "Come on, explain to me, how did you manage to cook noodles into a pot of paste!?"

   "..."

  Xu Xin huddled in the corner of the kitchen with the two dogs, eyes full of embarrassment:

"I...cooked it for a while, and I felt it was cooked, so I took it out. Then...I was afraid that you would not be able to get it down for a while, so I said to put cold water on it to prevent it from sticking. Then I forgot to taste it, and ended up waiting for the cold water to finish I just remembered it. I tasted it... My dad’s noodles today were cut too thick, with raw stuff in them, and I said to myself, I’ll cook it again... and then... just... that’s it."

"you…"

  Yang Mi opened her mouth, but in the end it just turned into a helpless sigh:

"well…"

  What can I do?

   Waste one.

  He would starve to death without me.

   "Forget it, you go out."

  She glanced at the last handful of noodles left on the chopping board:

   "I added some vermicelli to the noodles and cooked them for you. You can watch the children."

"Um…"

  Xu Xin was a little embarrassed, and took another look at his pot of paste:

   "Then this pot of noodles..."

   "Give it to them both."

  Zai Zai Niuniu: "?"

  Which of us is a dog?

  …

  After breakfast, it’s time for parent-child interaction.

  Yang Mi helped her father and father spread plastic sheeting on the balcony, and then gave the paint to his son, making him excited.

  Xu Xin continued to study and color the painting to be given to the wheel.

   Nuan Nuan is also rolling on the plastic sheet, but she is not interested in painting. Unlike Yang Yang who can play all morning after picking up a paintbrush, she prefers to put pressure on her mother who started exercising.

   Instead of putting your toy on the back of the mother who is doing plank support, when she is waiting for the mother to stand on the pile, she uses her legs as a tree that can be climbed, and tosses and tosses there.

   Soon, around ten o'clock, Yang Dalin and his wife came back with two bags of ingredients.

  Since Zhang Qian started confinement, the two have been very busy.

   Cook at home, and have to deliver soup to the confinement center.

   And he was not surprised to see the scene in the living room, he walked to the kitchen on his own, and began to prepare today's lunch.

  Yang Mi finally finished exercising and was sweating all over, but she didn't change her clothes and went into the kitchen wearing an apron.

  The three of them began to work on a meal for Xu Xin.

   And Xu Xin didn't take care of things in the kitchen the whole time, although when Yang Dalin just came back, he heard an old father-in-law mumbling "what's the matter with this dog bowl of noodles", he felt a little guilty. But immediately he heard his wife say, "I went to the bathroom when I was cooking noodles in the morning, and it wasn't cooked well," and he felt at ease again.

   After all, she is my own daughter-in-law.

   Also know to help me take the blame.

   I absolutely love you.

  At noon, four dishes and one soup.

  After eating and wiping himself up, he ran to the balcony to smoke.

  In just one cigarette, Yang Mi has already taken the two children to take a nap.

  The child is old now, and he no longer needs to sleep twice a day. It is just right to take a nap after eating at noon.

  He washed his hands, went upstairs, and walked into the study.

   took out a thick stack of materials.

   It’s all about Sunspot.

   There are more than a dozen pages of footage.

  In fact, what he wants to shoot now is "Broken Silence", but "The Grandmaster" is not finished yet for his wife, so he can't move for the time being.

  The preparations for "Sunspot" have actually been completed by 70%.

  Different from the past, Xu Xin focuses more on the rationality of the plot for this script, and focuses on describing the inner struggles of the two protagonists.

  In the dark, longing for the light.

  Looks like moths to the flame, but want to live hard...

  He wants to make the hearts of the two protagonists very special.

  But I don’t want a very straightforward performance, but I want to make the audience empathize by leaving blank space and profiling.

  So, the last 30% detail filling is the most important thing.

   Eat and drink enough, a pot of tea.

  He goes to work.

   This busy, is an hour.

   Until Yang Mi, who had put the child to sleep, poked her head out:

   "Hey, brother."

"what?"

   "Let's go, Shichahai to go skating?"

"Well…"

  Xu Xin checked the time.

   Faster by 2 o'clock.

   "The two of us have to go to the confinement center to take care of Sanshui for our father in the afternoon."

   "I know, so let's slide a little bit for a while. Just say there's a traffic jam!"

  Xu Xin couldn't laugh or cry.

   "It's quite cold today. And it's a holiday on New Year's Day, so there must be a lot of people there..."

"Yo yo yo."

  Seeing his resistance, Yang Mi began to get angry:

   "Your old man's words are so condescending. What's the matter? It's so easy to wait until the New Year's Day holiday. Is there something wrong with those who want to relax?"

   "..."

  Xu Xin was speechless for a moment:

   "I'm talking about you, I'm afraid you will be recognized."

   "Hmph, I'm not afraid. In a word, are you going? If not... Elbow! Take off your clothes and come into the house with me!"

have to.

   This is starting to be a threat.

  He shook his head helplessly, but still did not reject his wife, and said dotingly:

"Walk."

  She really wanted to skate a long time ago, but she has been busy recently and has no time.

   This New Year's Day is nothing to do anyway... no.

   "What about the child?"

   "emmm...do you know what my favorite dairy product is?"

   "..."

Fine.

  Xu Xinxin said that your old man loves Wangzai milk the most.

  So...

   "Dad, let's go, let's go to the confinement center."

  Hearing this, Yang Dalin, who was about to take a rest after a busy day, was stunned:

"So early?"

   "Yes, Brother Sanshui and Uncle Xu have also worked hard. We are gone, the child is sleeping, please listen to the pager..."

   "... Then what are you doing with the box containing the skates? What is Xiao Xu doing with the salami?"

   "..."

  In the end, the two of them slipped off with skates and shoes under the helpless eyes of Yang Dalin, "Is this how you two become parents?"

   There were indeed quite a few cars in Yanjing on New Year’s Day, and the journey was quite smooth. It would have taken at least half an hour, but it took less than 25 minutes to arrive at the bustling Shichahai.

  Xu Xin's eyes began to shine when he saw the dog pulling the sledge.

  He has no interest in skating, but likes to ride this.

  Yang Mi started to pretend.

   Hats, sunglasses, scarves, and masks are all on their faces.

  After everything was ready, she turned to her husband and asked:

   "How is it?"

   "Others may not recognize you, but I will recognize you even when you turn into ashes!"

   "Thank you, you really can't spit ivory out of your mouth when it's Chinese New Year."

   After rolling her eyes under the sunglasses, Yang Mi opened the door and got out of the car. Carrying skate shoes all the way to the park entrance.

   The pace is brisk.

  While walking, he said to Xu Xin:

"When I was young, there were a lot of people here in winter! At that time, Qianhai didn't need money, but Houhai needed tickets... I think it was two yuan, but my dad was reluctant to pay, so we had to go to Qianhai to squeeze. .Then I was sweating all over my forehead, and I played until it was getting dark...

At that time, my dad started salary around the 20th. Christmas was not popular at that time, but I was very happy around December 20th every year, because after I came here to play, my dad had money in his pocket, and our family would Go for the lamb mutton.

   Think about it, it takes a lot of physical energy, and eating meat is delicious... Well, have you ever seen mutton boiled and wiped with stick noodles to make the plate look like it was just washed? At that time, sesame biscuits were more expensive than steamed buns, and my dad’s salary was actually not that high. I liked it, so he bought it for me.

  But both he and my mother bought stick noodle steamed buns outside. The stick noodle steamed buns are cheap, so the two of them took them with them, and smeared the leftover sesame paste on the steamed buns to eat.

  I didn’t understand at that time, I thought my parents would like to eat this bite...but after I had Nuannuan and Yangyang, I realized that I actually wanted my children to eat it and deal with it by myself..."

   Xu Xin is no stranger to his wife's appearance.

  The two of them have been together for the past few years, and they will come here almost every winter, and as long as they come here, she will be in a particularly good mood.

   Then I will tell him a lot of childhood stories.

  Even though, Xu Xin has heard this story no less than three or five times...but she still tells it every time she comes.

  So, all he can do is hold his wife's skates, hold her hand and listen.

   When we arrived at the ticket office in Houhai, Xu Xin was waiting beside, and Yang Mi went to buy a ticket.

   While buying the ticket, he heard his wife complain:

   "Excuse me, two tickets...what? Another price increase?...All right, two tickets, here's the money."

   Then, Yanjing Dami, holding two ice rink tickets in her hand, could feel her dissatisfaction even through sunglasses and a mask:

"Really, why has the price increased again? It was 20 last year, and it will be 25 this year! It's almost three o'clock, and it will cost 50 for a short skating at most. Fortunately, I brought ice skates, maybe I have ice skates The price has also increased! It was only five yuan when I came to play with my classmates..."

  She doesn't care about the ticket.

   Instead, I feel that my good memories have been contaminated by money.

"alright."

  Xu Xin comforted her with a smile:

"Prices are also rising, and the wages of people all over the country are also rising. This shows that everyone is getting richer, which is a good thing. What's more... the two of you can play for an afternoon for fifty yuan. This is Yanjing , where can you find a cheaper form of entertainment than this?"

   "You can't come here like this, it's getting more and more expensive, who will come here to play in the future? Really..."

  The small milky voice is matched with a thick nasal cavity to vent dissatisfaction.

  The two finally got off the ice rink.

   As for the next thing, Xu Xin didn't worry about it.

  No need to sit on a stool.

  She just sat on the ice, took off her padded shoes, and started to put on the pair of black-faced gold-knife skates.

  In exchange for three plus five and two divided, Xu Xin gave her a hand.

  Then the elder sister staggered on the ice a few times, and after finding the feeling, she immediately stopped firmly.

   "What are you going to do?"

   she asked.

  Xu Xin pointed to Alaska, which is lying on the ice in winter not far away:

   "I hang out with them."

   "Hey, then you go, I will make two circles first, and then I will find you."

"good."

  Following his promise, this sister is like a butterfly that suddenly took off, rushing away with a "swish".

  After rushing for a certain distance, she circled around, turned her head and shouted to her husband who was helping her clean up her shoes:

"husband!"

   "?"

  Xu Xin looked up, and saw her making a... two-legged split-crotch horse stance. With excellent control, she began to draw circles on the ice.

   "Hee hee hee, am I handsome or not!"

  Listening to her ostentatious words, Xu Xingao raised his thumb.

   Then after the butterflies continued to fly away, he went straight to those Erla.

   "Get two dogs."

   He didn't even bother to talk about the price, and handed over three hundred-yuan bills. He sat on the small sledge, Erlang raised his legs, and lit a cigarette.

   "Hoo..."

  Among the mist bursting with water mist and smoke, Xu Xin waited contentedly for the dog owner to finish feeding the two dogs, and then pulled the reins directly.

  The well-trained Erla pulled him to trot on the ice.

  A dog costs 50, but it needs the dog owner to "leverage". Just like the rickshaws in the old society, the owner took the dog to run on the ice, which was very hard. But it doesn't matter if there are two dogs. Seeing Xu Xin's actions, people know that at least the guest with sunglasses has played with them, so they don't care.

  Xu Xin didn't go to see what his wife was doing either.

  He just enjoyed sitting on the small sledge, letting the two dogs lead him around casually, enjoying the rare and pleasant time in the winter afternoon on New Year's Day.

  This year... I'm really tired.

  After tossing two movies, he felt like he was thrown into a drum washing machine for the whole year.

   And sitting on the sledge at this moment, he felt really alive in a trance.

   This daze lasted for about ten minutes.

   As for the two dogs, seeing that he was not urging, they also started to play fish and be lazy.

  So he took out the salami he had brought from home from his pocket.

   This sausage was bought when he was in Italy, and its full name is Salami of Florence.

   It's quite expensive, and it's two hundred yuan less.

  Before he left, he deliberately cut a whole root in the kitchen.

  Seeing the two dogs fishing, he let out a "hey", and after the two dogs turned their heads, they threw the two pieces of salami over.

  After the two dogs ate, their tails began to wag violently.

  Xu Xin smiled wickedly.

hey-hey.

   You like fishing, don't you?

  He picked up a piece of sausage again and threw it forward.

  The two dogs rushed forward without thinking.

   Fortunately, he didn't throw him off.

  So, an interesting scene appeared in the whole Shichahai.

  A guest sits on a relatively luxurious sledge pulled by two dogs and throws sausages forward.

  The two dogs ran forward desperately.

  As long as Xu Xin moves slowly, the two dogs will start barking.

   Keep urging.

  The dog owner is breathless when he looks at it.

  Xin, what kind of ham sausage is it? Can you give two dogs this virtue?

   As for this bag of salami, he lost half of it, and kept the other half for Yang Mi.

   But with such half a bag of salty salami, two dogs still have a binge drinking to the basin.

  The dog owner also came to confirm, afraid that Xu Xin would feed the dog blindly.

   But after seeing this man not only feeding the dog, but also eating himself, he fell silent...

  After playing for a while, the two dogs looked at Xu Xin as close as a father.

   After a while, the two dogs lay down completely.

  Can’t eat, drink, or run.

   And the time was almost up, so he got off the sledge, smoked a cigarette, and walked outside the specially enclosed ice rink, watching his sister paddling there round and round.

  When the blushing Yang Mi saw him, he thoughtfully took out a thermos from his pocket.

   It’s like a parent at a sports day.

   Watching his daughter drink up the water in the cup and join the track again, he stood by happily and continued to watch.

  Yang Mi, who had finally had enough of playing at sunset, changed a pair of shoes and carried the half bag of salami... before the person arrived, the dog started barking.

  So, the two dogs pulled two guests this afternoon, and the reward they got was an Italian sausage worth more than two hundred.

  They may not understand how expensive the sausage is.

  But the wonderful taste will definitely be fresh in my memory.

only…

   I don’t know if they will remember these two guests next time they meet.

  …

   Having fun, the two walked out of the ice rink hand in hand.

  The young woman, who was originally happy, turned her face and refused to recognize anyone after she left the door.

   Turned his head and glanced at the ticket office, and muttered:

   "Fifty yuan has been played for three hours without losing money. It's a loss."

  But immediately the next second his eyes lit up:

   "Ah, roasted sweet potatoes!...Boss, are they white?...Give me two!"

  So, the couple held the roasted sweet potatoes and ate another mouthful of black potatoes.

   Then happily got into the car and drove towards Hehe Hospital.

   and Xu Daqiang and Xu Miao switched off work and took care of Zhang Qian until Xu Miao came back by himself, and the time came after 9 o'clock.

  The two came out.

  Drove home with Yang Mi yawning.

   Ten thirty.

   After washing, the child falls asleep.

   When Xu Xin huddled into the bed, his wife, who could hardly keep her eyes open, huddled into his arms again.

"husband…"

"Um?"

   She rubbed her chin against her lover's shoulder, and let out a burst of happy ravings.

   "I like you~"

   "Well, go to sleep, good night."

   "Kiss~"

   "Bo~"

  After the last ritual before going to bed, Xu Xin turned off the lights, and his close lover embraced each other, enjoying the peace of mind from each other, and fell asleep.

   January 1, 2011.

  Xu Xin and Yang Mi's ordinary day drew a perfect ending amidst the even breathing of the family of four.
