A great director who grew up happily

Both families lived in the same residential complex, but Qiao Weidong did not go home. Instead, he dropped Chen Jinnian off at the gate of the community and drove away in a hurry.

It seems that he plans to seek advice from a knowledgeable friend.

Chen Jinnian was walking towards home. They now lived in a large flat of nearly 300 square meters, which was extremely spacious for a family of three.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that housing prices in Beijing will continue to rise. His parents have also purchased several houses, all of which are small-sized apartments for investment purposes so that they can be sold in the future.

"Mom, I'm back."

Hearing the noise, Su Ying got up from the sofa in the living room and said excitedly, "Come here quickly and let mommy see."

When Chen Jinnian came over, Su Ying twisted his ear and changed her expression, "Alright, brat, you've grown wings. You've been away for so many days and haven't called home once. I have to call you personally every time, right?"

After saying this, he shook the hand that was pinching his ear.

"Mom, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time. It hurts." Chen Jinnian immediately begged for mercy, grinning and shouting.

Seeing him screaming so miserably, Su Ying really thought that she had hurt her precious son, so she quickly let go and rubbed her son's ears.

"Mom, you're so annoying. Others are concerned about how high their children can fly, but you only care about whether my wings are strong enough." Chen Jinnian said helplessly.

"Nonsense." Su Ying slapped him in anger. "I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. Isn't it okay for me to care about you?"

"Okay, okay," Chen Jinnian said quickly, then helped his mother sit on the sofa. "Mom, your figure hasn't changed. You're still as beautiful as before."

"What do you know? Pregnant women show their pregnancy from 3 to 5 months. I was pregnant late when I was pregnant with you. I guess I will have to wait a few more weeks for the second one." Su Ying touched her belly and showed a maternal smile.

Chen Ming came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, "Son, help your mother come over to eat, the food will be ready soon."

"Okay," Chen Jinnian replied, reaching out to hold his mother's arm, but was slapped away.

"I don't need your help yet, go wash your hands."

Chen Jinnian had no choice but to leave happily.

The family sat at the dinner table. Chen Ming handed him his phone and said, "You're always losing things. I forgot to ask you, how did you get home from school today?"

"I met Uncle Qiao at the school gate. He brought me back on the way." Chen Jinnian quickly picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of roast duck meat.

"Old Qiao, is he going to see Yingzi again? He's been thinking about his daughter all day long." Chen Ming said.

But Su Ying obviously didn't think so. "He cares about his daughter but still wants a divorce. What a scumbag."

"It's not him who wants a divorce. It's Song Qian who insists on getting a divorce," Chen Ming explained.

"It's because Old Joe cheated on his wife and now he has a little girlfriend."

"Then he set the trap, and you're not what he thought you were."

Hearing his parents bickering again, Chen Jinnian interrupted directly, "Can you please not talk about this? Family affairs are difficult to judge. What are you two doing with each other? Hurry and eat."

After hearing what their son said, the two of them stopped again, but Su Ying still glared at Chen Ming fiercely, with an obvious warning, that she wanted to use Old Qiao to teach him a lesson.

"That's right, let's not talk about this and eat quickly. This roast duck and these braised prawns are your favorites, so eat more." Su Ying picked up a prawn and put it in her son's bowl.

"Yeah, eat it all, Mom, Dad, you should eat more too. You've been tired all day, so eat more." Chen Jinnian said while eating.

Su Ying looked at her son eating voraciously and smiled happily. Her son had grown up and knew how to care for his parents.

"Okay, Mom, eat more." After taking two bites, she asked, "Did the shoot go well? I see you've lost weight. If you're too tired, we can't do this anymore."

"It went smoothly, especially smoothly. I'm a little tired, but it's okay. Mom, just wait and see the finished film. This is my gift to my sister." Chen Jinnian said in a relaxed tone.

In fact, he has been having a very hard time during this period. As soon as he opens his eyes every day, he sees money burning through his pockets. During the day, he has to monitor the filming while waiting for his own performance. At night, I have to check the filmed materials and plan tomorrow's filming schedule.

It's a small crew, so there aren't many messy things, otherwise he really couldn't handle it.

Su Ying smiled happily, "Okay, Mom is waiting to see your work, but it may not be a sister, it may be a brother."

"Haha, it's all the same, it's all the same. The key is our son's intention." Chen Ming laughed. No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, he had a child in his old age. How could he not be happy?

The family of three had dinner happily and talked about many things.

Some of them are about art exams, and everything will go according to what we agreed before. It depends on how the movie goes. If the movie is successful, it means that the son has the ability and the family will definitely not stop him; if the movie is not successful, then he will take the exam normally and get into a good university in June next year.

After eating and drinking, Chen Jinnian said, "Mom, after the third year of high school officially starts, there will be evening self-study classes, and school will end late. I plan to move back to our old house."

"No, you want to go out right after you get back? I will pick you up no matter how late it is after school, or ask your dad to go. If that doesn't work, tell his company's driver and give him a raise to pick you up in the evening." Su Ying objected directly after hearing this.

"No, please don't. You're the most precious one in our family. How can you pick me up every day? It's not something you'll do every day. My dad can't do that either. He has two things to do every day: he has to deal with the investment company and the hardware company in Zhongguancun. The driver is even worse. The company assigned him a driver, not me. How can he pick me up every day? Even if Uncle Qiao doesn't say so, we can't do it."

Chen Jinnian refuted all of his arguments and continued, "It's not like I live in the old house all the time. I come back on weekends. Even if I skip evening self-study, I'll go home for dinner."

When he got here, Chen Ming said, "Son, how could you skip class?"

"What's wrong with skipping evening self-study? It won't affect his studies. I've already asked about it. Our son's grades are more than 100 points above the first-tier line. There are so many schools in Beijing, so he can choose any one he wants." Su Ying retorted.

"But there is still some gap between us and Peking University and Tsinghua University." Chen Ming defended.

Seeing her husband still dared to speak, Su Ying shouted rudely, "You still think Tsinghua and Peking University are good, then why didn't you work hard back then? With that lousy score you got on the exam, what right do you have to point fingers at my son?"

This sentence directly broke Chen Minggan's defense. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "I didn't perform well."

"Stop talking nonsense and go wash the dishes."

"Good."

Looking at Su Ying who was killing everyone, Chen Jinnian gave her a thumbs up, thinking that his mother was really awesome.

Su Ying also smiled proudly, then took her son back to the sofa in the living room to watch TV.

She grabbed her son's hand and said, "In principle, I agree that you should move back to the old house, but you must come home more often, otherwise I will move there too."

"Don't worry, Mom. I mean what I say. But don't think about moving there. The roads there are narrow and there are a lot of cars. It's next to the school, so there's traffic jam every day. Unlike here, there's a hospital not far from the community." Chen Jinnian said.

"Okay, I'll listen to my son." Su Ying said with relief.
