I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 654

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 sounds strange too.

The two are really clingy a bit 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."

So affectionate.

And Yang Mi's answer is more straightforward:
"Um……"

Hello 2011, goodbye 2010.

……

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

My arms are numb.

Dead and dead, like a pig.

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

When I came out again, there were still drops of water on my 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.

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

As for English, it is also a matter of accumulating less and more, as long as enough words are accumulated, then one day quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.

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

Even if he was going to do errands, he would memorize seven or eight words in the car, and then take advantage of his spare time to change his mind and go through the lines he had memorized that day in his mind.

After memorizing for a while, Yang Dalin appeared at the door:
"Has Mimi woke up?"

"No."

"Eat braised noodles in the morning, okay?"

"what?"

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.

There are many kinds of hand-rolled noodles and brine.

The taste is outrageous.

Xu Xin can eat at least two bowls.

But it's troublesome.

And 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...

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 have never hired a nanny.

And since Yang Mi became pregnant, his father-in-law and mother-in-law moved in, so he didn't take care of the trivial things in life.

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

Although it is a bit inappropriate to say it.

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 despised him for being clumsy, and after kicking him out several times, he didn't care.

I had a really 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.

Just like today.

It takes at least an hour and a half for making stewed noodles from stewing the stew to rolling the noodles.

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

What a fairy day.

Just thinking about it, there was a movement of slippers in the corridor outside.

With disheveled hair and wearing a big T-shirt, Yang Mi 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 warm smell of the blanket rushed into Xu Xin's nostrils.

"husband~"

"Ok?"

"I 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 are we leaving?"

"Don't you still want to go to Director Zhang?...I'll send 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.

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

They were handed over to the elders of the family.

The wedding this time is a very traditional and traditional rural wedding. There are no fancy things, it's all old traditions.

Xu Xin didn't quite understand either.

All were handed over to the family members.

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

"Um……"

Yang Mi stopped talking, 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."

"do not."

When she 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, 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 as trash?
then……

Yang Mi looked at the pot of soup in the pot that was frying.

"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 thought 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 lumping. Then I forgot to taste it, but I waited I remembered it after drinking cold water. I took a sip... Our dad's noodles today were cut too thick, with raw stuff in them, I thought I would cook them again... and then... just... that's it."

"you……"

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

"Ugh……"

What can I do?
Waste one.

He'd 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 dried noodles 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."

Zaizai Niuniu: "?"

Who are we dogs?
……

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

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

And 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 my toy on the back of the mother who is doing plank support, or waiting for the mother to stand on the pile, treat her legs as a tree that can be climbed, tossing and tossing 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 send soup to the confinement center.

And I wasn't surprised to see the scene in the living room, so I went to the kitchen on my own and started preparing 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 started working 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 was a little guilty when he heard the old father-in-law muttering "what's the matter with the noodles in the dog bowl".But immediately he heard his wife say, "I went to the toilet when I was cooking noodles in the morning, and it wasn't cooked well," and he felt at ease again.

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

And know how to help me take the blame.

Absolutely love you.

At noon, four dishes and one soup.

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

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

Now that the child is older, 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.

He 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 struggles of the two protagonists' inner world.

In the dark, longing for the light.

It seems like moths are flying into the flames, but they want to live hard...

He wants to make the hearts of the two protagonists "twisted" in a special way.

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

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

Eat and drink enough, a pot of tea.

He gets to work.

This busy, is an hour.

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

"Hey, brother."

"what?"

"Come on, Shichahai is going skating?"

"Uh……"

Xu Xin checked the time.

It's almost 2 o'clock.

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

"I know, so I'll skate 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. People who want to relax are also wrong?"

"..."

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 follow me into the house!"

have to.

It's all 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.

There's nothing wrong with this New Year's Day 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, 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, you listen to the pager..."

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

"..."

In the end, the two of them were caught by Yang Dalin's helpless eyes of "Is this how you two become parents?" and slipped off with skates and shoes.

On New Year's Day, there were indeed quite a few cars in Yanjing, 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 Shichahai, where the crowds are bustling.

When Xu Xin saw the dog pulling the sledge, his eyes began to shine.

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

And Yang Mi started to pretend.

Hats, sunglasses, scarves, and masks are all on his face.

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

"How is it?"

"Others definitely don't recognize you, but I can 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 Squeeze. Then the sweat dripped from 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 12th 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 it tastes good when you eat meat... Well, have you ever seen mutton boiled and wiped with a stick noodle steamed bun 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 he and my mother both bought corned buns with cornmeal. The buns with cornmeal are cheap, so they took them with them, and smeared the leftover sesame paste on the steamed buns to eat.

At that time, I didn’t understand, I thought my parents would like to eat this bite... But after having Nuannuan and Yangyang, I realized that I actually want my children to eat it, and I can deal with it 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 many, many 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 they arrived at the ticket office in Houhai, Xu Xin was waiting beside, while Yang Mi went to buy tickets.

While buying the ticket, he heard his wife complain:

"Excuse me, two tickets...what? The price has increased again?...All right, two tickets, here's the money."

Then, Yanjing Dami, who held 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 [-] 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 50 yuan. This is Yanjing , where can you find a cheaper form of entertainment than this?"

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

The little milk voice was 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 adding three plus five and dividing two, Xu Xin gave her a hand.

Then the elder sister staggered a few times on the ice, 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 the winter not far away:
"I hang out with them."

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

"it is good."

Following his promise, this sister was like a butterfly that suddenly took off, and rushed 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 make a... two-legged horse stance, and with her 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.

"call……"

In 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 is [-], but it needs the dog owner to "leverage". Just like the rickshaw 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 take 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.

But 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.

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

It's quite expensive, and it's [-] yuan less in conversion.

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 it, their tails began to wag violently.

Xu Xin smiled wickedly.

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.

As a result, an interesting scene appeared in the entire Shichahai.

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

The two dogs ran forward desperately.

Whenever Xu Xin moved slowly, the two dogs started barking.

Keep urging.

The dog owner is breathless when he looks at it.

After all, 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-packed salty salami, two dogs still drank wildly against 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.

I can't eat, I can't drink, I can't 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.

Seeing his niece drank the water in the cup and merged into the track again, he stood beside him cheerfully and continued to watch.

Seeing the setting sun, Yang Mi, who had finally had enough of playing, changed a pair of shoes and carried the half bag of salami... Before the person arrived, the dog started barking.

Ever since, the two dogs pulled two guests this afternoon, and the reward they got was a more than 200 Italian sausage.

They probably won't understand how expensive the sausage is.

But that wonderful taste will definitely remain 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.

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

Turning his head to look at the ticket office, he muttered:
"The 50 yuan has been played for three hours without losing money, so I lost money."

But immediately the eyes lit up in the next second:

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

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

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

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

The two of them came out.

With Yang Mi yawning, she drove home.

10: 30.

After washing, the child fell asleep.

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

"husband……"

"Ok?"

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~"

"Boom~"

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

2011 1 Month 1 Day.

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