Chapter 178: Promise to call me sister-in-law from now on.
Qi Er no longer looked sloppy as he did yesterday. His long hair was cut into a buzz cut. He wore a black woolen coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, giving him a gentle and refined feeling.
The skinny guy threw away his tattered cotton-padded jacket and put on a new grey cotton-padded jacket, looking a little more honest than when they first met.
"Comrade Yu, do you think it's convenient for us to visit your home now?" Qi Er's eyes were full of anticipation.
Yu Zhile nodded, and Zhou Yuesheng went back to the house to get his coat.
Qi Er then noticed the overly intimate atmosphere between the two. He looked around and his puzzled gaze fell on them again.
"Call me sister-in-law from now on." Zhou Yuesheng said.
Qi Er opened his eyes wide unconsciously, and then he understood the real reason why his parents scolded him when he got home last night.
"I'm from Haiyu Village, Hai County, Jiangxi Province. I'm currently one of the leaders of the village's sideline business group. I'd like to discuss a cooperation with you later." Yu Zhile took over the conversation.
Regarding the cooperation, she did not go into too much detail, only saying that they would discuss it in detail after a final decision was made.
As she was talking, the voice of the morning radio host came from the courtyard next door, so she took the people home directly.
The scene in the Yu family's house was the same as before. Yu Wanqin and Yu Yue were reading, Yu Chi and Chen Zhao were listening to the radio, and Zhang Wenxin and Yu Chuyue were chatting about the sideline group.
When they heard the voice, several people looked up and were stunned at first when they saw the strangers, but they quickly realized their identities.
Yu Wanqin had a good first impression of Qi Er and Shou Hou. She smiled and asked them to sit down, then turned to the kitchen to pour them some hot water.
At this time, Yu Haiguang, whose face was almost frozen with smile, walked in with breakfast. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he tensed his face again and looked carefully at the two unfamiliar faces.
"Hello, I'm Qi Yunjie, I've participated in the production of some movies." Qi Er stood up straight and began to introduce himself, and reported a long list of household names, "I would like to invite Yu Chi to be the protagonist of my new movie."
"My name is Hou Shou, and I'm the other main character of the movie." The skinny monkey was frightened by Yu Haiguang's serious expression and spoke haltingly.
Not only did they bring the usual visiting gifts, they also sorted out all the movie-related information and handed it to Yu Wanqin and the others.
The couple knew Qi Er's background, but they still read all the information carefully and confirmed that all the procedures were legitimate.
"As long as you can convince Xiaobao, we will agree." Yu Wanqin closed the information, "It doesn't matter how much the remuneration is, but there must be three rules for the filming process."
Qi Er nodded vigorously and asked for details.
Yu Wanqin didn't say it directly, but just glanced at Yu Chi.
Qi Er understood, and he stayed close to Yu Chi and told him some interesting things about the filming process, and took Shouhou to have breakfast.
Xiaobao reacted calmly. After breakfast, he followed Yu Yue back to the house.
Chen Zhao, whose interest was piqued, wanted to ask for details and enthusiastically welcomed Qi Er and Shou Hou into the house.
Qi Er did not waste the opportunity, but took out his treasured storyboard manuscripts and the on-set photos he had accumulated over the years, and joined hands with Shou Hou to vividly introduce the story.
Yu Wanqin and the other person acquiesced to his behavior and did not ask him to leave. They went into the kitchen to sort out the various ingredients they had bought yesterday.
"It's getting late, we should go out." Yu Zhile checked the time and called back Zhang Wenxin and Yu Chuyue's attention. "We have to go to three places today."
Zhang Wenxin reluctantly withdrew her gaze and asked, "It seems that Qi Er has prepared a lot of tricks. Do you think Xiaobao will agree in the end?"
Yu Zhile and Zhou Yuesheng smiled at each other.
Zhang Wenxin turned his head to look at Yu Chi who had joined the group looking through the manuscripts, and understood what they meant.
That evening, the few of them returned to their doorstep in the dim night and happened to meet Yu Wanqin and Yu Haiguang seeing off the last batch of guests.
"You've been running outside all day, your face is frozen blue. Wear more clothes tomorrow." Yu Wanqin looked at them distressedly and urged them, "Hurry up and go inside to drink some hot soup. Sister Rong sent someone to bring us mushroom chicken soup this afternoon. It's delicious."
In the living room, Chen Zhao and Shou Hou were chatting animatedly, while Yu Chi and Qi Er on the other side of the sofa were silently flipping through the photo album.
After Yu Zhile and his friends finished their soup, Yu Haiguang brought a few plates of steaming home-cooked dishes to the table and called on everyone to eat.
After dinner, Qi Er solemnly invited Yu Chi again, but Yu Chi still refused.
He seemed to have expected this and was not discouraged. He just took out the money and handed it to Yu Wanqin, saying, "Thank you for your hospitality. I will come to bother you again tomorrow. I hope you don't mind."
After saying that, he and the skinny monkey left.
Skinny Monkey thought back to the Yu family's cold reaction and asked with a sad face, "Brother, can't we change someone? I see that other than Chen Xiaoyou, no one else is interested."
"No, he is the person I am looking for." Qi Er said confidently, "As long as we persist, he will definitely agree."
Hearing this, the skinny monkey showed a bitter expression. He had seen Qi Er's persistence in prison, so he got on his "pirate" ship without knowing it. Now he could only rack his brains to help him find a solution.
After walking a distance, he suggested, "Boss, what do you think about bringing him to the set?"
"Good idea!" Qi Er clapped his hands and walked quickly towards home. "I have to go back and contact the studio. I'll take people there tomorrow."
The skinny monkey was used to his impetuous temper, so he resigned himself to jogging to catch up with him.
The next morning, he ran to the canteen in high spirits to buy breakfast, and after buying it, he couldn't wait to rush to Yu's house.
After obtaining the consent of Yu Wanqin and her husband, he invited Yu Chi to a two-day tour of the set.
Chen Zhao's eyes lit up and he looked at Yu Chi eagerly.
"Okay, I'll go with Brother Xiaozhao." Yu Chi said.
After hearing his words, Chen Zhao was so excited that he hugged him and kissed him madly, saying that he wanted to be Xiaobao's best friend in the future.
For the next two days, Yu Wanqin and Yu Haiguang were busy greeting guests who came to congratulate them, Yu Yue continued to read at home, and the others went out early and came back late, each busy with their own things.
Time quickly came to the night when Yu Haiguang invited us to dinner.
Li Yun came to dinner with Political Commissar Li. As soon as she saw Yu Zhile, she told her that Aunt He had been saying bad things about their family in the building area in the past few days.
"She has the mouth to speak. Let her speak." Yu Zhile didn't care.
With Xiao He's character, the He family will be in trouble sooner or later, and she doesn't want her family to be involved.
Li Yun wanted to say something, but when she looked up and saw Qi Er carrying Xiao Bao in, she was puzzled at first, then asked in surprise: "You, you, you are Qi Er?"
Qi Er found that Xiaobao had a good memory on the set today, and also noticed that Xiaobao's attitude towards him was getting better and better. He was in a good mood and nodded in response to her.
Following them in were seven or eight tall and strong men. They lined up in a row in the room, dimming the lights.
"Captain, we are here." They shouted in unison and the house shook a few times.
Yu Haiguang walked out of the kitchen with a spatula and said, "Alright, alright, find a seat and wait for your meal."
There were two full tables, with more than a dozen dishes on each table, and everyone was enjoying the meal.
The men worked together to get Yu Haiguang drunk, and Zhou Yuesheng was still in the recovery period, so he escaped.
Late at night, a group of drunk people left Yu's house shoulder to shoulder, and the house was finally quiet.
Political Commissar Li, who also didn't drink, helped to clean up the mess. He was frightened by Qi Er's sudden scream and his hands trembled, breaking a bowl.
Qi Er's mouth was almost stretched to his temples, and he picked up Xiao Bao and spun around in circles.
The next day, he arrived at Yu's house early to pick up Yu Chi and Chen Zhao.
"As you wish, go and submit your application to join the army." Yu Wanqin looked at Yu Haiguang.
Yu Haiguang said with a smile: "I have already written it. I asked Lao Li to hand it over a few days ago."
After saying that, he went to work with a happy face.
Zhou Yuesheng's vacation was over, and Yu Zhile was organizing his field investigation notes in the study, preparing to compile them into a plan.
Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door, and when she opened it, she found it was Yu Yue.
"Sister, I want to talk to you." Yu Yue pursed his lips into a line.
Yu Zhile took him into the study, sat opposite him, and said, "You finally came to see me. Go ahead and talk."
"Last time I met two university professors in a bookstore. They said they could teach me how to read." Yu Yue lowered his head and clutched his clothes, "But I don't know where this knowledge can be used."
"Xiao Yue, do you believe me?" Yu Zhile asked.
Yu Yue looked into her eyes, remembered the magic potion that cured his and his uncle's legs, and nodded firmly.
"Then continue studying and don't give up any opportunity to learn new knowledge." Yu Zhile said seriously, "You will be admitted to the best university in the country and become a scientist."
Yu Yue noticed her choice of words and was shocked.
"You are only fifteen years old. You can learn some general knowledge first and then decide on your main focus later," Yu Zhile suggested.
Yu Yue took note of her words.
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "Then you should stay in Beijing together and study hard."
"Then, you will be the only one living in Haiyu Village." Yu Yue hesitated. "In fact, we can wait for the sideline group to develop and move to Beijing City to live there for a long time. That day should come soon."
Yu Zhile flicked his forehead and retorted: "What do you mean alone? My second uncle and second aunt are in the village, and my grandfather is also in the village. I have so many good friends. Are you afraid that I will be lonely?"
"Not the same." Yu Yue shook his head.
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "How can it be different? Besides, the Chinese New Year is only a month away, and you will be home by then."
Yu Yue wanted to speak more but was interrupted by her.
"Let's go back and tell mother now." Yu Zhile stood up and urged.
Lan Yuanyuan was discussing clothing styles with Yu Jia and Yu Wanqin, and the two waited until they finished talking before speaking.
Yu Wanqin noticed that something was wrong with Yu Yue recently and wanted to talk to him tonight, but she didn't expect him to come first.
After listening to the siblings' words, she couldn't help but sigh: "Our Xiaoyue is also a big kid now, and he is more thoughtful than his parents."
Yu Yue looked embarrassed and fled back to his room on the pretext of reading a book.
Yu Wanqin chuckled, and when her eyes fell on Yu Zhile again, her expression was quite complicated.
"Aunt, don't worry about Lele. We are all Lele's family." Zhang Wenxin comforted her. "Besides, the villagers are now eager to worship her. I guarantee that no one within a ten-mile radius dares to provoke her."
Hu Shuang and Yu Chuyue also joined in the explanation and the heavy atmosphere dissipated.
Yu Wanqin smiled and began to instruct them on various things, and Yu Zhile and the others nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, while everyone was together, they looked at the calendar and discussed the time to return to Jiang Province.
Hu Shuang has a short-term training at the Red Star Shipyard next week, and Yu Zhile is going to work at the cannery in the provincial capital, so they decided to buy train tickets for three days later.
By then, the others will stay in the provincial capital for a few days, which means that when Zhile finishes work, they can go back to the village together with Ge Tai who is on vacation.
That night, Yu Zhile told Zhou Yuesheng the set date.
"I'll ask someone to book a sleeper ticket tomorrow." A look of loss flashed across Zhou Yuesheng's face.
"Captain Zhou, don't be unhappy." Yu Zhile gently pulled up the corner of his mouth with his hand, "You still have a holiday, come to Haiyu Village to see me next year, okay?"
Zhou Yuesheng smiled and nodded in agreement following her action.
Yu Zhile also smiled, holding his face and pecked him a few times.
"Not enough." Zhou Yuesheng put his arms around her waist and leaned in to kiss her.
After a long time, the rapid breathing in the bedroom gradually calmed down.
Zhou Yuesheng said: "After returning, I will..."
"Eat well, sleep well, and combine work and rest." Yu Zhile interrupted and muttered, "My mother has said this many times, and my ears are about to get calluses."
Zhou Yuesheng paused for a few seconds and continued: "Then can you use that system less in the future?"
Yu Zhile knew his concerns, and the system had caused her to suffer from mental overdraft twice, so there were considerable hidden dangers.
However, she had a strong feeling that one day she would need to use the products in the premium mall, so she wanted to accumulate as many cloud coins as possible in case of emergency.
So, she agreed verbally, but was thinking about the future live broadcast plan in her mind.
Zhou Yuesheng could naturally hear her perfunctory tone. He sighed imperceptibly and hugged her tighter.
He took the initiative to change the subject: "Mom is done with her work, and I want to take you out for dinner the next two days. Do you want to go?"
"Yes." Yu Zhile liked Qu Rong very much and was happy to be with her. "But I have an appointment with Qi Er to discuss a movie tomorrow morning, so I won't be free until after ten o'clock."
"Then I'll ask her to pick you up later." Zhou Yuesheng said.
After agreeing on a time, the two chatted aimlessly and suddenly talked about the relationship between Yu Chuyue and Qin Yunbai.
"Are they talking?" Yu Zhile asked.
Zhou Yuesheng hummed as he thought of his childhood friend who had been showing off like a peacock spreading its tail in the past two days.
Yu Zhile snorted twice and asked about Qin Yunbai's family situation and past experiences, as if he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
It was almost time for her usual break, so Zhou Yuesheng gave priority to answering the questions that concerned her most.
"I'm an only child. My grandparents are retired. My parents are both soldiers. My aunt works in a research institute."
"His family members are all very kind, and they would never do anything like breaking up a couple."
Then, he talked in detail about Qin Yunbai's life experiences over the past twenty years.
As he expected, Yu Zhile started to feel sleepy after listening to the first half, and fell asleep before he even heard the second half.
The room returned to silence, and the north wind howled outside the window.
Zhou Yuesheng leaned over to turn off the desk lamp, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
In the morning, Zhou Yuesheng opened his eyes on time and gently covered Yu Zhile's ears before the sound rang out.
After the broadcast ended, he got up, washed up, and then walked towards the bright cafeteria against the cold wind.
