A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Lu Cheng has always been a man of action. After asking around his neighbors over the weekend, he found a nearby carpenter and ordered a crib for him.

He also requested that a fence be added around the crib, with a gap left at one end and a small wooden step installed to make it easier for his son to get in and out of bed in the future.

After making the reservation and paying the deposit, Lu Cheng just returned home and saw Tian Xiaoxia had also come and was chatting with Xiu Lian.

Seeing Lu Cheng coming back, Tian Xiaoxia smiled slightly, picked up Lu Yang, and said, "Brother Lu Cheng, I was just discussing with my sister-in-law about becoming little Lu Yang's godmother. You wouldn't disagree, would you?"

Lu Cheng glanced at Xiulian and saw her nod, so he agreed directly: "This is a good thing. Little Lu Yang will have someone to love him. As long as you talk to your sister-in-law about it, it will be fine."

"Then let's make it a deal. Yangyang, little Luyang, come and call me godmother."

"aunt."

"Change your words, call me godmother, and I'll give you some White Rabbit candy."

"Godmother."

"Oh, okay, you're so good, godmother, give me a kiss."

In the two months since school started, Tian Xiaoxia has come here almost every weekend to spend time with Xiulian and Xiao Luyang.

As they got to know each other better, Tian Xiaoxia liked the well-behaved, sensible and sweet-talking little Lu Yang more and more.

Although Lu Yang is not even two years old, he has perfectly inherited the excellent genes of Lu Cheng and Xiu Lian. He is handsome, cute and very likable.

Every time Xiulian takes her children out to play, she always attracts a crowd of old men and women to watch, and many girls also like to tease the little ones.

Lu Cheng didn't take it seriously as his child had a godmother. Calling her aunt or godmother, isn't it the same?

After playing around for a while, Tian Xiaoxia suggested: "Brother Lu Cheng, the weather is so nice today, why don't we go to the Forbidden City for a stroll? Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

"Okay, I've been here for two months and I haven't been to the palace yet. I don't know what the emperor used to do."

"Then let's get ready and go to the Forbidden City."

"Then let's bring a water bottle and food. Don't eat out. It's too expensive."

"Take the water bottle with you, but don't take the food."

Tian Xiaoxia also said, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to bring food. Last time, Brother Lu Cheng treated my mother and me to roast duck. This time, I'll treat you to Donglaishun."

"I don't dare to go. I heard Donglaishun is also very expensive."

"It's okay. We have to go and see it."

After a little preparation, the family went out.

Nowadays, the water bottles that people carry when they go out are basically those old-fashioned military water bottles with their own shoulder straps.

They took the bus to Chang'an Avenue. After getting off the bus, Lu Cheng held the child, and Tian Xiaoxia took Xiu Lian's hand, and they walked into the Forbidden City talking and laughing.

At that time, there were far fewer people visiting the Forbidden City than in later generations. People gathered in groups of three or four to visit. Some people were tired and found a place to sit down and rest with a newspaper under their buttocks.

There were even some people sitting on the steps or benches smoking.

Occasionally, there were some craftsmen standing on tall ladders, repairing the golden dragons and colorful paintings painted on the beams.

When he arrived at the gate of a palace, little Lu Yang was attracted by the two huge bronze lions in front of the gate and insisted on going over to take a look.

Lu Cheng picked him up, and the little guy excitedly stretched out his hands to touch it.

Tian Xiaoxia sighed with some regret: "It's a pity that we don't have a camera, otherwise I must take a few good photos and bring them back to show my sister."

Speaking of which, Tian Runye had managed to get through that period and was no longer forced by Xu Aiyun to go on blind dates with Li Xiangqian.

Since Tian Fujun was promoted, Li Dengyun has been standing still. The Tian family no longer needs to rely on political marriage to consolidate Tian Fujun's position.

Of course, even so, Tian Futang still firmly opposed the marriage between Sun Shaoan and Runye.

Sun Shaoan has also been on several blind dates in the past two years, but has never been successful.

The two sides remained in a stalemate, with the man refusing to marry and the woman refusing to get married.

For both of them, this may be the best outcome at the moment.

After walking around the Forbidden City, Xiulian couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really big here, it feels bigger than our Shuangshui Village. The emperor and his women lived in it, what a waste. Fortunately, there is no emperor now, and we ordinary people can also come and see it. When we bring our father here in the future, let him see the place where the emperor lived before, he will definitely be very happy."

"No problem. When you get home, write a letter to your dad and ask him to come over and stay for a few days. When summer vacation comes, I can take you out to have some fun and see the Badaling Great Wall."

"Then let's wait a little longer. We'll soon be busy at home."

Nearing noon, a few people wanted to go to Donglaishun to try something, but they didn't expect that there were too many people on the weekend and the waiting time was too long, so they could only eat fried noodles with soybean paste.

Tian Xiaoxia was a little disappointed: "I wanted to treat you guys to a good meal."

Xiulian was not disappointed at all: "It's okay, it's a good opportunity to save money. Let's go back and buy some mutton, and I'll make mutton dumplings for you in the evening."

After a relaxing and enjoyable weekend, Lu Cheng and Tian Xiaoxia started their studies again.

That night, when Lu Cheng just returned home, he saw Xiulian sitting there counting money with a very happy face.

Little Lu Yang, who was playing on the bed, saw Lu Cheng coming back. He quickly put down the toy in his hand and stretched out his arms: "Daddy, hug me."

Lu Cheng picked up his son and threw him into the air, then caught him steadily: "My dear son, you are heavier again."

Holding the child, he looked back at Xiulian and said, "You are so happy today. Did you make a lot of money this time?"

"It's not a lot of money. I took some time to cut some paper-cuts a couple of days ago and put them up for sale today. I didn't expect they would actually sell."

"Oh? How much did it sell for?"

"I don't know how to set the price. I sell the small ones for 5 cents each and the big ones for 5 cents each. Today, I sold all the paper-cuts I spent several days cutting. I made more than five dollars in total. If I sell this much every day, it will be more than a hundred dollars a month."

"Can you cut so many? It's impossible for people to buy them every day."

"Yeah, even if I used the scissors until they smoked, I couldn't cut much in a day."

The larger window decorations have complex compositions and need to be cut bit by bit, which is very time-consuming.

Moreover, window paper-cuts are just decorations, and not necessarily many people like them.

Xiulian counted the money, counted on her fingers, and finally shook her head in disappointment: "It seems that I have to think of other ways to make money."

After saying that, Xiulian raised her head and glanced at Lu Cheng with some resentment: "Brother Cheng, I just made some money, and you are trying to dampen my enthusiasm."

"Okay, okay, let's eat. You don't have to worry about making money."

After dinner in the evening, Lu Yang played for a while and then fell asleep.

Xiulian placed the child in the newly built crib, pulled the newly hung curtain, and then crawled into bed...
