Chapter 419 Oh! Sister!
After lunch, Liu Wangxue sat in the leisure area and continued to write the script.
Wenxi first sat opposite her, wearing headphones and browsing her phone, but later she just kept working, sometimes sending voice messages or answering calls. In order to avoid disturbing Liu Wangxue, she took her charger and a cup of hot tea and went to a farther corner.
When you concentrate on doing something, time flies quickly. When Liu Wangxue looked away from the computer screen, the setting sun had already shone through the window, lengthening the shadows of the tables and chairs.
She leaned back on the sofa, put two drops of eye drops in herself, closed her eyes and rested for a while.
After Wenxi finished his work, he turned around and saw that Liu Wangxue had also stopped, so he unplugged the charger of his mobile phone and returned to her.
Wenxi sat down, put away the charger and earphones, put them in Liu Wangxue's backpack, glanced at the document on the computer screen, and asked, "Have you completed today's task?"
Liu Wangxue maintained her posture of leaning back with eyes closed: "Well, almost. I refined the outline a bit, improved the character design of the main and supporting characters, and now I'm writing the biography of the male protagonist, which is not finished yet."
"Can I take a look first?" Wenxi asked, her hand already touching the touchpad. With a swipe of two fingers, the document scrolled rapidly to the homepage.
Liu Wangxue could guess her move without opening his eyes. Sure enough, he heard her say, "Oh~ a romantic drama, warm and plain, everyday pastoral style?"
Liu Wangxue responded: "Yes, pure love and fresh style."
Wenxi read very quickly, scrolling down and saying, "I haven't watched a drama in a long time. Has the domestic market changed? I haven't heard of any rural dramas becoming popular."
"Yes, but it's not that popular," Liu Wangxue opened his eyes, slid down a little, and continued to lean on the sofa. "In June and July, a modern drama was broadcast, set in the Jiangnan water town, a Chinese rural drama about marriage first and love later. The response on the Internet seemed to be okay."
At that time, they had just moved in and had nothing to do after the house was renovated. Liu Wangxue thought about writing something to understand the market trends first. He spent almost the whole day watching TV series with Pengpeng on his tablet.
Wenxi asked: "Web drama?"
Liu Wangxue raised her hand to massage her shoulders and neck, and replied, "Yes, there are not many episodes, only twenty, and it is broadcast on DouLe Video."
Wenxi guessed: "You're not planning to make this into a web drama, are you?"
Liu Wangxue pinched the left side and then the right side, and smiled: "I have this plan, but whether it can be sold is another matter. Let's finish writing it first."
Wenxi stopped talking and watched the show attentively. After finishing, she commented, "I think it's good. I like the tone. It has a peaceful and reassuring atmosphere. If the actors' acting skills are good, it should be very healing to watch the show."
The two then talked about the overall direction of the story, and Liu Wangxue said, "Then I will strictly control it and write in this direction."
At the bar, Tao Huaxin finished making milk tea for the visitor and came over to collect the cups. Seeing the two of them talking about the script, she asked casually and then sat down to listen.
After a while, Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai came over. Liu Wangxue packed up her things, called the three cats who were playing nearby, and prepared to go home.
Jin Zhaofei and Richard were already waiting for them at the door with their take-away boxes. Richard was carrying his guitar and said he would play some music to liven up the atmosphere after dinner.
Du Yunkai talked to Master Zhang and Master Wang at noon today and asked them to help cook a few dishes.
Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan will not go to the hot spring resort trip starting tomorrow - Liu Nanshan is concerned about the decoration and cannot leave, while Gu Xuelan wants to finish the cross stitch as soon as possible. In addition, the two old people do not want to disturb the young people's excitement. If they don't go, Liu Wangxue's birthday will be celebrated at home first, and they will have a cake together. Gu Xuelan went to the town to buy vegetables in the afternoon. Wenxi didn't eat the dinner yesterday, so it's just right to make another meal tonight.
Tao Huaxin told Liu Wangxue the day before yesterday that Qiu Xiangrong had prepared a birthday cake for her and would send it to her home this afternoon. Liu Wangxue didn't hesitate and invited her and Qiu Xiangrong to have a meal at her home. However, Qiu Xiangrong was busy from morning till night and couldn't spare the time. When he came to pick up Tao Huaxin at around 8 o'clock, he had just finished his work. However, Tao Huayu was back, and of course he would not miss the opportunity to join in the fun, so he said that he would carry the cake to have dinner on behalf of his sister and brother-in-law.
Last night, Du Yunkai picked up Wenxi and talked about this while drinking sweet soup and chatting in the living room of Liu Wangxue's house. Liu Wangxue also wanted to invite Richard and Jin Zhaofei over.
When Xu Qingsong calculated that there were quite a lot of people, he suggested that they do it themselves. Liu Nanshan was also taking care of the decoration work, which was quite tiring, so he booked a private room in a hotel in town and went directly to the town to eat.
Gu Xuelan didn't like eating food outside because it was too strong. Everyone was busy, but she was free. She could put off cross-stitching for an entire afternoon without delaying her progress. "I'll take care of the cooking. You don't have to worry about it."
It is quite troublesome to cook for so many people, so Du Yunkai suggested asking the two chefs from the canteen to help prepare a few dishes, and they would pack up the food and take it back when they get off work.
"That's fine." Gu Xuelan nodded. She would just cook a few of the dishes that the children liked to eat, and she would trouble the two chefs to prepare the main dishes.
When they returned to the courtyard, Tao Huayu had already arrived and was helping Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan in the kitchen.
The food is ready, and we can start eating right away by putting the food we brought back on the table. Everyone puts their food away quickly, washes their hands, and comes to help.
Tao Huayu said to Xu Qingsong, "There aren't enough chairs here, so I'll move the ones from your side over here."
Previously, a group of people gathered for a barbecue, and they felt crowded when preparing food in the kitchen. However, since we were eating on the roof, the widened guardrails on the edge of the roof could be used as stools, so there was plenty of space and we didn’t feel that there was not enough space to sit. Now all nine adults were gathered in the kitchen, and fortunately the dining table Liu Wangxue bought could be extended, otherwise there would be no room for everyone.
Liu Wangxue thought, fortunately a two-story building was built, and the space left in the living room over there was large enough. Whenever there are large gatherings in the future, they can just move the dining table over there, and no one will be unable to turn around.
When the meal was almost over, we cleaned the table, put fruits, snacks and tea on it, and placed the cake in the middle with candles lit.
Richard took out his guitar to compose music for everyone. He had just tuned it when Liu Wangxue's phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a video call from Gu Qingyue.
No need to guess, it must be Xiaoyouzi.
After Shen Nian'an and her family of four returned to Beijing, Youyou and Jinghe would video call her from time to time, one to watch the cats and the other to watch the dogs.
Since October, after Liu Wangxue joined the team, she made fewer video calls because Xiaoci and Pengpeng were no longer with her, and the two children were also told by Shen Nian'an and Gu Qingyue not to disturb her work.
Now that she has finished her work and returned, Mr. and Mrs. Shen Gu naturally know about it. The couple was chatting about this a few days ago. When the two children heard that Liu Wangxue was going to have a birthday, they said they wanted to prepare a gift. After school, they moved all kinds of small tools to the living room. They were busy for three nights and finally finished it today. So they quickly asked their parents to make a video call.
Liu Wangxue said something to everyone and swiped to answer the call.
As soon as the call was connected, Youyou's chubby little face filled the camera. When he saw Liu Wangxue, he immediately broke into an extremely happy smile, raised the phone a little further away, and his childish voice was also full of joy: "Hey! Sister!"
