On the morning of the 4th, Tao Huayu drove the car to deliver all the furniture ordered by Liu Wangxue, and helped unpack and install with everyone, working until almost evening. Liu Nanshan wanted to keep him and several masters for dinner, but the masters had to go home, and he had to go back to the company, so he drove away again.
Liu Wangxue had asked about the house-warming party in the group in advance, and everyone decided to hold it on Sunday, the 6th.
Everyone who could come on the 6th came.
Liu Nanshan and Lao Li had met so many times, and this time they finally met. As soon as they met, they were very close to each other. Li Yu gave Liu Wangxue three big dolls and placed them on the sofa in the living room. Tao Huayu and his family came over. Knowing that there were many people, Qiu Xiangrong brought two big cakes.
Qinglei's father and mother also came over, and Tao Qingxin followed them. It seemed that he must have stayed up late again, and he looked sleepy. Liu Wangxue asked him to go to the guest room upstairs to sleep for a while. He was a guest at someone's house, how could he fall asleep as soon as he arrived? Tao Qingxin shook his head, thanked him, and then forced himself to play with the cats and dogs.
The senior students in the town’s middle school now have half a day off on Sundays. Tao Qinglei is still in school and originally said he couldn’t come, but Liu Wangxue asked him to come as soon as school was over so that he could make it in time for lunch.
Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi also came and gave Liu Wangxue some cute small appliances. There was also Wang Keng who stayed at home all day writing novels in the town, and Jin Zhaofei, Richard and others from the studio.
Fortunately, the yard has been expanded, otherwise there would be no room for all these people to stand.
It was a particularly sunny day, and the midday sun was so warm that there was definitely no room for everyone in the house. Xu Qingsong, Tao Huayu and others suggested having lunch in the yard, and then a group of people went to Tao's house and moved tables and chairs over.
Part of the lunch was prepared by Liu Nanshan and Tao's father and mother, and part was ordered by Liu Wangxue from a restaurant in town.
After the noisy meal, some people helped to clean the table and wash the dishes, while others went to the living room of the small building to play games. When they were tired of playing games, a group of young people went to the sun room on the second floor to sit and drink tea.
The current sunroom is larger than the original one in the yard because the terrace on the second floor is larger.
When in the courtyard, the sunroom borrowed the courtyard wall and one wall of the bungalow, and together with the roof, there were only three wooden frames with embedded glass.
Now moving to the second floor requires wooden frames on all four sides. The original materials are definitely not enough. And since they also need to expand, Lao Lin and his team bought exactly the same materials and made it according to Li Yu's original design.
Everyone played until almost evening before they dispersed, some went home, some went back to the studio.
For dinner, Liu Nanshan stir-fried some green vegetables, cooked a very simple noodle soup, added a poached egg, and gave each family member a bowl of the soup, topped with pickled radish and vinegar-soaked peanuts.
There wasn't much left after the meal, so Liu Nanshan said, "I'll go to the market tomorrow morning and buy some to cook myself."
Liu Wangxue reminded him: "Dad, you have to do more. Don't forget Xixi's share."
"I know, I'll remember it." Liu Nanshan nodded. He had to do more and send some to Qinglei's family and Huayu's family.
After finishing their meal, Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan didn't want to move when looking at the sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. They had washed too much at noon. Although Tao's father and mother helped, they still felt reluctant to do so.
Liu Wangxue collected all the dishes and took them to the sink. Xu Qingsong had already put on an apron and gloves and was ready to wash the dishes.
Liu Wangxue stood next to him, took the bowl covered with detergent foam from his hand, and rinsed it under another faucet.
She really didn't like washing dishes at all, so she took the opportunity to say to her parents, "I told you earlier to install a dishwasher, but you two refused. If you had listened to me and installed it, wouldn't you have to do all the work today? It would be so nice to have both hands free."
Gu Xuelan was really moved this time, and discussed with Liu Nanshan: "How about installing one?"
Gu Xuelan had never done much housework since she was young. She was a good student and her family members were very close to her. Later, when she married Liu Nanshan, Liu Nanshan was reluctant to let her do it. But she was not the kind of person who took everything for granted. She would take the initiative to share the responsibilities whether at her parents' home or at her husband's home.
Most of the time, it was a family of three, and most of the housework was done by Liu Nanshan, and there was not much she needed to do. After coming to Qiushui Town, Liu Wangxue made so many friends, and sometimes when they came to the house for a party, there were more things to clean up.
However, the gatherings are only occasional. But after today's event, Gu Xuelan thought that Liu Wangxue's aunt and uncle would come to stay for a while during the Spring Festival, plus her uncle-in-law and aunt. With so many people having three meals a day, the total workload of cleaning up the dishes would be quite a lot.
Gu Xuelan had a headache. Only then did she feel that her daughter was right. She should have listened to her and installed a dishwasher earlier. The main reason was that she and Liu Nanshan were used to being frugal. Now that they thought about it, they were so old, wouldn't it be good to free their hands and enjoy themselves? Since she had this idea, Liu Nanshan naturally would not object, so he nodded and agreed.
Liu Wangxue proudly whispered to Xu Qingsong: "Fortunately, I had foresight. When I was renovating the house, I insisted on leaving space for the dishwasher. Now it's great. I can install it right away after I buy it."
Xu Qingsong leaned over slightly and touched her, and praised her: "That's right, you are really great!"
Tao Huayu had to be asked to install the dishwasher again. After the kitchen was cleaned up, Liu Wangxue sent him a message. Tao Huayu also knew that she had reserved a place, so he quickly helped her choose the brand and model and sent it to her. Within two days of ordering, a technician came to install it.
For the next half month, Liu Wangxue concentrated on writing the script for Game B.
On the 2nd, in Du Yunkai's office, together with Xu Qingsong, the three discussed all aspects of the game, and some of their ideas really coincided.
For example, you can ask a lawyer for consultation, after all, some of the details involve criminal law.
Liu Wangxue told Xu Qingsong about this matter when she just finished the brief outline at the hot spring resort that night. Xu Qingsong kept it in mind and sent a message to his mother the next day, asking for help. Xu Qingsong's mother is an associate professor at the Law School of Peking University. Her research direction is litigation law and interdisciplinary research in law. My mother was originally a student of my grandmother, and she and Xu Qingsong's father were first lovers.
Xu Qingsong's mother is now retired, and her life after retirement is no less leisurely than when she was in school. She registered in her senior sister's law firm and provided free legal advice to people in need in the society. She went to work two or three days a week, and the rest of the time she went on picnics with friends, learned painting, dance, watched musicals and stage plays, etc. Sometimes Xu Qingsong's father was invited to give lectures, and she would go with him to take care of him. Life is so colorful.
When the mother heard that her son wanted to help his girlfriend, she agreed without hesitation. After listening to Xu Qingsong's explanation of the general plot of the game, she also felt that this was a very meaningful thing, so she paid more attention to it and contacted several senior brothers and sisters who had become big names in the industry.
Xu Qingsong's parents also knew about the hot search event on New Year's Day. Although the two elders do not go online, they accidentally heard the clerk's discussion when they were out. After returning home, they searched with their mobile phones and immediately called Xu Qingsong, blaming him for not telling his family about such a big thing.
The mother knew her son's personality. She was not worried about her son, but her son's girlfriend: "Those people on the Internet said such nasty things. Xuxu must have been upset after seeing it, right? Comfort her more. Also, did you keep the evidence? Defend your rights if you should. Don't forget what your grandmother and your mother and I studied. Do you think you can let our future daughter-in-law suffer such injustice?"
Mr. Xu echoed from the side.
Xu Qingsong laughed when he heard it, and explained to his parents that he had thought so from the beginning, but at that time he was fully concerned about Liu Wangxue's emotions and did not find time to call home. Later, when Liu Wangxue calmed down, Du Yunxiang took action again: "With Du Yunkai's sister here, there is nothing to worry about. The legal department of her company has been preparing since the beginning of the matter, and Xuxu has cooperated with her. Besides, even if it is because of the relationship between Du Yunkai and me, she will not let Xuxu suffer any grievances..."
Mother Xu couldn't listen any more: "I said, are you stupid? Who told me that you were planning to marry Xuxu? That day I asked you if you could bring Xuxu back after the Spring Festival so that our two parents could meet. What did you say? Oh, Xuxu didn't want to for the time being, saying that it was too soon. I think you still didn't put yourself in the right position! Ask your dad what to do if your wife is bullied outside?"
Without waiting for Xu Qingsong to speak, Professor Xu answered slowly, with a hint of disappointment: "As a man, you should be highly conscious of your wife's affairs. First of all, you should not let her be bullied or wronged. If she is bullied or wronged, as a husband, you should personally help her solve the problem. Reflect on what you did?"
After being told this by his parents, what else can Xu Qingsong do? He can only reflect on himself. He thought that his parents don't care about the entertainment industry. They are old, and they shouldn't get angry after seeing those messy comments. Since Du Yunxiang has come forward, it means that the problem has been solved. Why should he do anything more? He didn't expect to be lectured by his parents. Well, it seems that he was wrong, and he needs to reflect on himself.
So, after Xu Qingsong told Liu Wangxue about the legal consultation he had agreed to with his mother for the game script, he also shared his reflections with her. He was mainly worried that Liu Wangxue would associate and think too much, so he had to lay it out and make it clear.
Liu Wangxue completely understood Xu Qingsong's idea, because she was not the kind of person who liked to "go to great lengths". Since the problem could be solved, why bother to trouble the family and make them angry? At this age, if the old man got sick from anger, wouldn't they regret it?
Liu Wangxue couldn't stop laughing as Xu Qingsong relayed what his parents said.
When she first came to Taojia Village, Xu Qingsong's mother was also there. They had dinner together on the day when Erye moved. The next day, she returned to Beijing. Liu Wangxue didn't talk to her much, but she had a good first impression of her. At that time, Liu Wangxue felt that she had a strong bookish air and was similar to Gu Xuelan, so she guessed that she might also be a teacher. Later, what she learned from Xu Qingsong really confirmed her guess.
Liu Wangxue now heard from Xu Qingsong another side of his parents. She felt that no wonder Xu Qingsong had such a good personality. His parents were just a very interesting pair of parents.
I kind of want to see you.
Liu Wangxue unconsciously said what she was thinking. Xu Qingsong happily hugged her and spun her around, asking repeatedly, "Really? Have you decided to go home with me?"
Liu Wangxue smiled and said, "It's still not possible during the Spring Festival. Can we postpone it a little longer?"
Xu Qingsong got the confirmation and insisted that she give him a specific date: "When exactly is it? For example?"
Liu Wangxue thought for a moment and asked him, "Where are you planning to celebrate your birthday at the end of March?"
Xu Qingsong was overjoyed: "Beijing City, I'll spend it at home!"
Liu Wangxue patted him and said, "Okay, then let's do it then."
I happened to go to Beijing at the end of March, and went back to my hometown in early April to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival.
Xu Qingsong smiled particularly brightly, picked up Liu Wangxue and spun her around, kissed her, and confirmed with her again and again: "It's a deal!"
Liu Wangxue nodded: "No regrets!"
So, under the organization of Xu Qingsong's mother, Liu Wangxue took her semi-finished script, the materials she had consulted, and the questions she had prepared to participate in the first online exchange with several big names in the legal field. In just two hours, she gained a lot, and her notebook was filled with pages and pages of writing.
In the following time, Liu Wangxue did not go to the studio again. She stayed in her small study from morning till night, concentrating on writing the script. Sometimes she would stay up all night when she was full of inspiration. During this period, she participated in the second online exchange organized by Xu Qingsong's mother.
In the past half month, Xu Qingsong could only see her at dinner time, and they could not chat for a few words. She ate hurriedly and then immersed herself in writing the script.
Xu Qingsong was obviously depressed during work, and was mercilessly mocked by the eagle-eyed Du Yunkai: "The farthest distance in the world is not between Hai City and Taojia Village, but that I live next door to you and you don't have time to pay attention to me, hahahaha..."
What goes around comes around, and now it's Xu Qingsong's turn to suffer from lovesickness that has affected his eyes.
Half a month later, Liu Wangxue not only finished the script, but also revised it twice from beginning to end, which was considered a slight polish. At the request of Xu Qingsong's mother, she sent the completed script to her and her senior brothers and sisters. Even if her mother didn't mention it, Liu Wangxue would take the initiative to mention it. She didn't want any obvious mistakes or flaws in the part of the script involving legal knowledge.
After the bosses read the script, they had a third online discussion. After the discussion, Liu Wangxue improved the script again based on their questions and suggestions, and it was finally completed.
After a long period of intense work, Liu Wangxue suddenly relaxed and felt exhausted. Especially during this period, she was in a special period. Although she did not have abdominal pain during those days, she felt uncomfortable all over. She could not tell where she felt uncomfortable, but she felt uncomfortable. She was kept going by her high spirits.
The script was completed near the evening. She didn't even want to eat dinner. She took a shower, went to bed and fell asleep immediately.
Xu Qingsong sent her a message during lunch to inquire about the progress. He thought that they could spend some time together when he got home in the evening, but he found out that she had already gone to bed. He asked Gu Xuelan worriedly, "Are you sick?"
Gu Xuelan said, "It's okay. I went to see him. He's just been staying up late lately and is tired. He'll be fine after a good sleep."
"That's right. She's already this old, not a young person in her teens or early twenties. How can she endure this?" Liu Nanshan continued, "I've been stewing tonic soup for her every day these days, but it doesn't work."
"Forget about tonic soup. Even medicine doesn't work immediately." Gu Xuelan laughed at him and said to Xu Qingsong, "Qingsong, you too. You and Yunkai should try to do your work during the day. You really need to stay up less late. Xixi is the same. There is no one to take care of her in Hai City. She sent me a message two days ago saying that she received the dried radish I sent her. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that the message was sent at two in the morning."
Wenxi was also like this during this period. She always returned from the studio late at night. Liu Nanshan pickled dried radish and sent her a can. The courier was signed for by the girl at the front desk and delivered to her office. She wanted to send a message, but she forgot about it when she got busy. When she got off work in the early morning, she felt a little dizzy and didn't think much about it. She sent the message to Gu Xuelan. The next day, Gu Xuelan scolded her.
Xu Qingsong nodded and said he would pay more attention. He also knew about Wenxi Studio's affairs. "It can't be helped. Wenxi's studio is at a critical stage of growth. If we want to take a step forward, we must seize this opportunity. But it's okay here. Everything is on track now. It's in order. It's just that there are some minor troubles occasionally that take more time."
After a comparison, Liu Nanshan felt relieved: "It seems that our Xuxu is the most comfortable now. She is busy in segments, and then has a long time to rest after finishing her work." It is much better than sitting and live streaming every day before.
After dinner, Xu Qingsong went to take a look at Liu Wangxue’s bedroom.
The air conditioning in the room was turned on high. She slept on her side with half of her face buried in the quilt.
Xu Qingsong was afraid that she would feel suffocated, so he walked over and pulled the quilt down. Seeing that her face was red from sleeping, he bent his index finger and gently scratched it, then tested the temperature of her forehead.
Xiaoci beside the pillow stood up and raised her paw to push Xu Qingsong's hand away.
Xu Qingsong took his hand back, patted its head, and said softly: "Okay, okay, I won't disturb you, just stay with her and go to sleep."
Xiaoci lay back down obediently, and turned around to see Guaguai already asleep on the crossbar in the Jewelry Villa. Bangbang stood up from the doghouse beside her and raised her head to look at him. He also patted Bangbang's head and said, "Take good care of her."
She rubbed his palm and lay back down again. (End of this chapter)
