A great director who grew up happily

On a mid-October evening in Beijing, the scorching heat of midsummer had long since dissipated, and the slightly cool breeze blowing on the body was refreshing.

After leaving the small theater, he took a taxi back to the community, but he did not rush home. Instead, he strolled outside slowly to pass the time.

Today is not a day off, and his father Chen Ming has asked him to attend evening self-study classes. Of course, the reason is the same as before - tutoring for the art exam.

Shuxiang Yayuan is a typical school district house. At this time, he is either in school or taking tutoring classes outside. For a long time, he is the only young man wandering on the long street.

"Jinnian?" A gentle female voice came, with some doubt in her tone.

He looked in the direction of the voice and found Liu Jing and Ji Shengli standing behind him.

"It's really you, Jinnian. Why are you wandering around outside alone instead of attending evening self-study classes at this time?" Liu Jing looked at the bag on his left shoulder and couldn't help but ask.

"I went out for some errands today and just got back. I thought the weather was nice tonight so I decided to take a walk." He explained with a smile, then asked, "Uncle Ji, Aunt Liu, where are you going?"

"Well, I'm old, and I have three highs. I came out for a walk and some exercise. By the way, I'll go to the supermarket to buy some of Yangyang's favorite food." Ji Shengli patted his bloated belly helplessly.

Chen Jinnian heard this and remembered that the food in the refrigerator was almost gone. He said, "If you didn't mention the supermarket, I would have forgotten. I have to go buy some food too."

"Haha, that's perfect, let's go together."

So the three of them walked towards the supermarket.

"Jinnian, why have I never met your parents?" Ji Shengli said as they walked. He felt that even though he was busy, compared to Chen Jinnian's parents, he could at least show his face every day.

"My home is in the west, a bit far away. I moved here to live in the old house because I have to attend evening self-study in my senior year of high school. I also have to go home on weekends." He replied.

"Are your parents so confident in leaving you here alone that they don't even come to visit you." Liu Jing said with some concern. They had left Yang Yang at home before, and at least there were elderly people to take care of him.

"I think it's quite normal. Won't I be like this when I go to college? Some universities are far away from home, and I may only go home once a year." Chen Jinnian didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Besides, I'd be worried if my mom came. I'd better let my dad take good care of her at home. I don't want her, a pregnant woman, to run around everywhere."

"Ah, your mother is pregnant." Ji Shengli asked in shock.

"Oh, I forgot what I just saw. Jinnian's movie doesn't include gifts for his future sister or brother." Liu Jing patted Ji Shengli in disdain, blaming him for what he was thinking about.

After hearing this, Ji Shengli smiled awkwardly and said that he had accidentally forgotten about it.

"Jinnian, it must be very hard for you to make the movie." Liu Jing said.

"It's not hard, not at all." Chen Jinnian said with a bright smile, "I can earn 10 or 20 million from a movie. I'll get angry with anyone who says I'm working hard."

His words amused both of them.

"You kid." Liu Jing said with a smile. She thought it was very difficult and tiring for Chen Jinnian to confide in her, but she didn't expect that these were the words that would come to her.

After a while, Liu Jing asked tentatively, "By the way, I heard from Yang Yang that you ranked seventh in the grade. Can you take Yang Yang with you? Can you come to our house after evening self-study to do your homework and try the midnight snacks Auntie made?"

"Uh..." After hearing this, he didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, if it's inconvenient, forget it." Liu Jing said quickly.

"No, no, it's not inconvenient. The main thing is that I don't do much homework." He said with a troubled look on his face, "I'm afraid of leading Yangyang astray if I let him learn from me."

After hearing this, Ji Shengli and Liu Jing never expected this to be the answer. For Ji Shengli, his experience in taking exams is "study hard as long as you don't die." If the results are not good enough, it means that you haven't studied hard enough.

"Really? I don't believe it." Liu Jing said. At this moment, she seemed to be possessed by Lu Yu.

"Of course it's true. You can ask Ji Yangyang. I used to copy his homework." Chen Jinnian said. This is also one of his many outrageous actions.

That was not long after he started his first year of high school. Because he was in a hurry to make up his homework, he copied Ji Yangyang's math problems. He thought that since Ji Yangyang had written them, he must know them.

He didn't expect that Ji Yangyang's homework was also copied and guessed, which made Li Meng very angry when she saw his homework. After school, she called him to the office, made him do two new papers, and let him go.

"But you don't have to worry. Ji Yangyang has better students to help guide her and doesn't need me at all." Chen Jinnian blinked cunningly.

"Who has better grades?" Liu Jing asked quickly.

"Auntie, I can't tell you this. You can ask Yang Yang. I probably can't be the one to stab you in the back."

Chen Jinnian didn't say it explicitly, but the answer was actually not difficult to guess. Liu Jing looked at Ji Shengli who was confused and shook his head. It was obvious that he knew too little about his son.

There are only six people with better grades than Chen Jinnian, and he refuses to say their names, so they are definitely not boys.

Top six in the grade, girls, and related to Ji Yangyang.

Liu Jing had only two answers in her mind, one was Qiao Yingzi and the other was Huang Zhitao.

Chen Jinnian saw that Liu Jing was thoughtful and nodded slightly, as if confirming the other party's thoughts.

Seeing Chen Jinnian's expression, Liu Jing also smiled and said, "You are really cunning. Yang Yang didn't even know that you sold her out."

"Hey, I didn't say anything." He denied it flatly.

Ji Shengli, who was already confused, was even more bewildered now. Chen Jinnian didn't say anything, so why did he sell his son? Could it be that he was under so much work pressure recently that his ears were not working well.

The supermarket was not far away, and the three of them arrived there quickly.

Chen Jinnian was pushing a shopping cart by himself, putting things in it. He didn't buy things like vegetables. He basically ate in the cafeteria for lunch and dinner.

So he bought milk, cereal, drinks, snacks and the like, and of course, fruit.

It’s just that most of the fruits went into Wang Yidi’s stomach, so I only bought the ones she liked.

He was still checking to see if the fruits were fresh when he felt the shopping cart behind him being bumped.

"Oh, sorry, sorry."

"Fang Yuan, what's wrong with you? You're so absent-minded even when pushing a shopping cart."

Chen Jinnian turned around and found that it was Fang Yuan and Tong Wenjie who had just moved in.

He asked, "Hey, Uncle Fang, why are you here? Didn't Lei'er say you were on a business trip?"
