In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.
He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...
Meng Ran, who was now in charge of grilling the skewers, presented everyone with a skewer that was half-burnt, making the soldier blush.
But being men, none of them lingered and quickly finished off the remaining skewers.
The group returned to their usual routine of watching the movie and chatting casually.
Zhou Xuelan munched on a roasted green pepper, occasionally asking Lin Yifeng questions.
"Boss, when can we finally watch your TV series?"
These words also attracted the attention of many people in the courtyard.
Besides Zhou Xuelan, many people are unaware that Lin Yifeng is involved in television dramas.
"When did the boss start filming a TV series?"
Ma Li blinked, turned to look at Lin Yifeng, her face full of surprise.
"You starred in it?"
"I just found out."
Seeing that Ma Li had misunderstood, Lin Yifeng hurriedly explained.
"I didn't act; I was the director."
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to Tiger Girl's nonsense."
Zhou Xuelan also hurriedly retorted.
"No, I didn't say it was you who acted in it, don't wrong me."
Lin Yifeng completely ignored Zhou Xuelan's remarks and turned to look at everyone.
Xu Wanxia, Miao Rou, and the others blinked, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Lin Yifeng scratched the back of his head and sighed deeply.
"Maybe early November."
"I'll let you know when it's all set up."
Xu Wanxia immediately raised her hand and shouted excitedly.
"Brother, brother!"
I want to see it too!
I want to see it too!
Lin Yifeng looked at Xu Wanxia with starry eyes and caressed her affectionately.
"Okay, okay."
"I'll mail you a copy to Shanghai later."
"Go borrow some equipment from your brother Duan, and you two go to the mall to take a look."
Xu Wanxia was so happy that she danced with joy.
This gave everyone something to talk about, and soon everyone in the courtyard began discussing the TV series.
Having seen the previous clips, Zhou Xuelan continued to explain the plot to everyone.
When the plot was mentioned to include various deceptive tactics, everyone's anticipation reached its peak, and they kept asking about Lin Yifeng's future developments.
Liu Shengxing, in particular, was already stroking his chin, pondering whether to adapt it into a novel and publish it in the newspaper.
Currently, in addition to its regular news, the Minsheng Daily has also become a platform for submitting short stories.
Because of the generous royalties, many authors from other places try to submit their work to the People's Voice Daily. Liu Shengxing has a number of good stories ready to be published.
They quickly finished eating, and the children, tired from playing, took their playing cards and went inside to play cards.
Adults have also gradually shifted from watching movies to karaoke.
There are no other villages nearby, only their family, so everyone can play happily to their heart's content.
After some time, around 9 p.m., Xu Qingyi and the others started having a late-night snack, with Meng Ran helping to stir-fry the remaining skewers.
After a brief period of lively conversation, everyone prepared to wash up and go to bed, getting ready to head to Shaolin Temple the next morning.
That evening, Lin Yifeng returned to his room and lay down.
Because he was going to climb the mountain tomorrow, he didn't bother Bai Yejin tonight.
After washing up, Bai Yejin returned, took off her clothes, and lay down next to Lin Yifeng, her thoughts still seemingly lingering on the movie she watched that evening.
Just as the two were getting sleepy, Bai Yejin also murmured in a low voice.
"Brother, do you think my sweetheart will come to marry me riding on a colorful cloud?"
Lin Yifeng looked at Bai Yejin's smiling face and pinched her cheek.
Your ideal partner may not be riding on a colorful cloud.
"But your dream girl might be driving a Rolls-Royce."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yejin blinked.
"Rolls-Royce? What's that?"
Lin Yifeng was slightly taken aback. At this moment, he realized that Bai Yejin did not understand these things, so he changed his explanation.
"car!"
"But it's a bit difficult for me to ride on auspicious clouds of seven colors."
"We shouldn't have come to Mount Song."
Bai Yejin's eyes were full of curiosity.
"Where to?"
"Laoshan!"
"Laoshan?"
"Go to Laoshan to learn Taoist arts, and ride a crane to the heavens!"
Lin Yifeng's explanation amused Bai Yejin.
She leaned against Lin Yifeng's chest, pouting and muttering to herself.
"What, you want to become a Taoist priest?"
"Or should I become a monk? Retire and enter the monastery? Reject wine and women!"
"You dare!"
Bai Yejin glared at Lin Yifeng with wide eyes and puffed out her cheeks.
Lin Yifeng smiled and put his arm around her as they lay down on the bed.
That night, the two fell asleep quickly.
After a busy day and a long drive in the afternoon, everyone quickly became sleepy.
At three o'clock the next morning, Meng Ran was the first to get up and go to the yard to tidy up, and soon everyone else got up one after another.
Bai Yejin heard the noise in the courtyard and got up early, yawning.
Fortunately, everyone went to bed early last night, and they all agreed to go up the mountain early today to watch the sunrise, and then visit the Shaolin Temple on the way back.
After Bai Yejin finished washing up, she found Lin Yifeng still lying in bed, so she hurriedly shook him awake.
Lin Yifeng, still half asleep, tidied himself up and came out into the yard, yawning as he checked the time.
It was only a little past four o'clock, which made him regretful that he had climbed the mountain with the others to watch the sunrise.
Inside the courtyard, Lin Yifeng, Xu Qingyi, and Guo Fengsheng had vacant eyes, and the children, including Lin Xiuxiu, looked equally blank.
Seeing that the group was not in the right frame of mind, Zhou Xuelan scolded them from the side.
"That's starting to look good!"
"The child is still here!"
"Take the lead!"
Perhaps it's because Zhou Xuelan has been a principal or teacher for too long, but now whenever there are children around, she unconsciously adopts the identity of an educator.
Lin Yifeng looked at Zhou Xuelan and yawned.
Aren't you sleepy?
Zhou Xuelan was speechless for a moment, and hurriedly tried to find a way to explain herself.
"So what! I'm already up, aren't I?"
"Just tell me if you're sleepy or not!"
"I'm up! I'll feel refreshed in a minute!"
"Aren't you sleepy?!"
Seeing that Zhou Xuelan was still gritting her teeth and persevering, Lin Yifeng turned around and threw the bag to her.
"If you're not sleepy, you can carry the luggage."
Zhou Xuelan, clutching her luggage, glared at Lin Yifeng through gritted teeth.
At this point, she began to regret her stubbornness.
