Zhong Wan's life philosophy: Being poor is scarier than ghosts! A middle-aged leftover woman who has been unemployed for a year and is about to live on the streets, Zhong Wan gritted her teeth ...
Chapter 194 Where is your brother-in-law?
At this point, Zhong Yang glanced furtively at Lin Yan'an, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, and whispered to Zhong Wan, "Sis, you were asleep, so you didn't know what your husband was like those days..."
Zhong Yangguang couldn't help but shudder at the thought: "Ugh, it's terrifying just thinking about it! The air pressure is so low that we don't dare to get close. Even Xingyu, look, he's been much more well-behaved lately."
"Now that you're awake, your brother-in-law is finally back to normal."
After finishing speaking, Zhong Yang couldn't help but exhale a sigh of relief. Looking at Zhong Wan, who had finally woken up, he earnestly instructed her, "Sister, I don't know your specific situation..."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, whether it's me, Mom and Dad, or my brother-in-law, we all hope that you can stay healthy."
"Now that our family is not short of money, and I can earn money myself, you should relax a bit. There's no end to the money you can earn."
"Besides, your brother-in-law is so capable. Our family really has everything we need. You should just live a good life and stay healthy, that's better than anything else."
Looking into his earnest eyes, Zhong Wan felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
She reached out and ruffled Zhong Yang's buzz cut haphazardly, laughing as she complained, "Don't worry, I know."
"This was just an accident. I'll be more careful in the future, so don't worry."
After speaking, she withdrew her hand, turned to look at Lin Yan'an's figure, and then at Pei Xingyu, who was unusually quiet as he had been called upon to help.
Unable to contain her curiosity, she looked at Zhong Yang and asked, "By the way, has Xingyu been studying with Mr. Du recently?"
"yes."
While processing the fish scales, Zhong Yang replied, "Xingyu also has a small role in my brother-in-law's film crew. In addition, he is also interested in the history and etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, so he did not hesitate to turn down all his activities and patiently followed Mr. Du to learn."
"After all, it's a rare opportunity. Mr. Du gave him just a little guidance, which was enough for him to ponder for a long time. Even I benefited a lot from it."
"Yes, that's really good. Study hard."
Zhong Wan nodded in agreement, then turned around and her voice became much lighter: "Hurry up and get it done, I'm starving!"
"Okay."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yang quickly agreed, glanced at his sister who had run to his brother-in-law's side to freeload again, couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, and then lowered his head to continue processing the food seriously and quickly.
Soon, an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen. Lin Yan'an's culinary skills were as consistently excellent as ever, and the delicious smell of steamed fish instantly filled the entire house.
When the dishes were served and everyone sat together, Zhong Wan realized that someone seemed to be missing.
She looked at it again, a little uncertain, then leaned closer to Lin Yan'an and whispered, "Where's your brother-in-law? Why hasn't he come over for dinner yet?"
Lin Yan'an raised his hand and placed the large plate of fish that had been agreed upon in front of Zhong Suisui, then replied in a low voice, "Brother-in-law has gone to the film set."
"The script has been approved, but the production team still needs to process it properly."
Lin Yan paused for a moment, then, seeing Zhong Wan's somewhat puzzled expression, explained, "Putting everything else aside, since the higher-ups have given such strong support, the production team has to keep up in every aspect. We can't just make do like before."
"Whether it's costumes, props, set design, or even the actors' schedules and conditions, everything needs to be re-coordinated and confirmed."
"My brother-in-law is the lead actor and one of the investors, and Brother Zhou is currently very excited, so it's normal that the two of them want to make a big splash."
"In order to better help the actors study relevant knowledge and acting skills, my brother-in-law even asked Professor Sun to introduce a lot of relevant experts. Even Professor Sun and Professor Li could not escape my brother-in-law's advice."
“If all of these things are in place, then the actors’ acting skills also need to keep up. Hiring someone to train them is a must, but we also need to consider their schedules. Zhou Ge and his team need to coordinate and handle all of this.”
He picked up a piece of fish, removed the bones, and put it in Zhong Wan's bowl. His voice was full of laughter, with a hint of excitement: "And this time is different. With the backing of the state, many of the bottlenecks that used to be problems are no longer problems. Overall efficiency will be greatly improved. Not only my brother-in-law, but I also want to take advantage of this momentum and make another effort."
Zhong Wan instantly understood, nodded with a smile, and praised Lin Yan'an, "Keep it up, I believe you can do it!"
Meow~
[Chewing, chewing, chewing...]
Zhong Suisui overheard their conversation. While sitting upright in its special spot, it buried itself in its food and kept urging, "Mommy and Daddy, eat quickly!"
It won't taste good when it's cold!
After saying that, it took a moment to lift its furry little face from the plate, with a "coming soon" still on its lips, and turned to look at the two of them, urging them to hurry up.
"Haha, Uncle and Aunt, look, Sui Sui is focused on eating. You two can talk about your little secrets when you get back to bed. Now hurry up and eat, Auntie is starving!"
Pei Xingyu also joined in with a grin and teasing.
Lin Yan'an rolled her eyes at him speechlessly and ignored him.
Instead, he looked at Zhong Wan and said, "Let's eat first, and then I'll take you for a walk around the neighborhood."
"Uh-huh."
Zhong Wan smiled and agreed, then picked up her chopsticks and tasted the fish that Lin Yan'an had prepared. It was delicious and had a smooth texture.
Mmm, delicious as always!
Instantly, her appetite returned, and she focused intently on eating, just like Zhong Suisui.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill and tidied up their belongings, Lin Yan'an took his leave with Zhong Wan: "Grandpa, it's getting late, so we'll be going now. We'll walk around with Wanwan for a while and then head back. Wanwan just woke up today and needs to rest more."
Although Grandpa Zhou was a little reluctant, he knew that Zhong Wan's health was important, so he quickly nodded: "Go, go, but don't wander too far. Go back and rest early."
That's what he said, but after Grandpa Zhou finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhong Suisui on his shoulder and asked with a smile, "Suisui, would you like to stay and play?"
"Let's go fishing by the river later. After we catch something, Grandpa Zhao can cook it for you. How about that?"
Zhong Suisui, who was comfortably perched on her great-grandfather's shoulder, sat up abruptly upon hearing this, her fluffy ears perking up instantly.
Seeing the struggle in its round cat eyes, Pei Xingyu stepped forward, patted its head, and continued to tempt it with a grin: "Sleep here with your brother and uncle tonight, and we can play a game together before bed."
【game? 】
Zhong Suisui tilted her head and looked at Pei Xingyu curiously, asking, "Brother, what game is it?"
"Of course it's that King of Glory game we played together last time!"
"Last time we didn't have enough phones and we had to borrow some from them, but we don't need to now, your brother has already prepared some for you."
【!】
Upon hearing this, Zhong Suisui's eyes lit up instantly. Without further hesitation, she looked at Zhong Wan and Lin Yan'an and urged, "Mom and Dad, you should go back first."
Sui Sui won't be going home today.
The little guy betrayed them without hesitation.
This instantly made everyone burst into laughter.
Lin Yan'an shook his head helplessly and reminded him with concern, "You can stay and play, but don't stay up all night."
“Especially Xingyu, Mr. Du has already woken up, and your father should be back tomorrow.”
"Okay, I understand."
Pei Xingyu instantly understood; those carefree days were about to end...
But he did it willingly.
Well, it's a bit self-torture.
Pei Xingyu quickly shook his head, trying to banish this terrible thought from his mind.
He turned around, reached out and picked up Zhong Suisui, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go fishing with your great-grandfather for a while, then we'll come back, eat, and play."
【Meow~ No problem!】
