Chapter 86: Gaining Weight
Regarding the recruitment of screenwriters, Du Yunkai did not launch a big campaign, but directly asked Du Yunxiang for help.
Du Yunxiang's entertainment company has its own team of screenwriters. Those screenwriters who already have works in hand are unlikely to assist an unknown person, and veteran screenwriters are even less likely to go.
So people can only be selected from the newcomers.
Du Yunxiang asked his assistant to post a recruitment notice within the company, saying only that his younger brother was making games and was in need of a screenwriter, and asked those who were interested and good at history or suspense to send their resumes and works directly.
The salary offered is not bad. Those who successfully apply are just "seconded" there, while their positions here are retained and they can get double salary.
Some newcomers are eager to try, while others look down on game writing, believing it to be a waste of time and energy.
After waiting for three days, Du Yunxiang's assistant received resumes and works from more than a dozen people.
Du Yunxiang didn't say anything. He just packed the things and emailed them to Du Yunkai.
Du Yunkai and Xu Qingsong looked through them one by one, screened out a few, and sent the rest to Ruxi.
This afternoon, Youyou and Jinghe came over to play with the three little cuties. Liu Wangxue put his work aside temporarily and focused on accompanying them, so he didn't check his email in time.
Gu Xuelan liked the two children as soon as she saw them. She always treated them to delicious food and drinks, and wished she was their biological grandmother.
Her former sisters have all become grandmothers now, and she sometimes envies them. But this kind of thing cannot be forced, it depends on the daughter's own arrangement.
So, Gu Xuelan seemed to temporarily transfer all her love to the two children, Youyou and Jinghe.
In the evening, Liu Wangxue took Pengpeng and Xiaoci's toys and took the three and two children out to play.
There is a piece of vacant land in the village, which used to be a threshing ground. Later, after agriculture gradually became mechanized, it was basically idle.
But now this threshing ground is still preserved, and whoever in the village has a lot of things to dry can put them here.
Xu Qingsong and Tao Huayu said that in the past, after the busy farming season was over, the village committee would show open-air movies here, and every household would bring small stools here.
There are vendors selling peanuts and melon seeds as snacks, and others making popcorn using those old-fashioned cannon-shaped popcorn machines. Once they open the pot, it's like thunder out of nowhere.
Liu Wangxue was extremely envious after hearing this and wished to experience it someday.
The few poplar trees around the threshing ground are already quite old. They are tall and strong, with lush branches and leaves. When the sun is slanting, the shadows of the trees almost cover half of the ground.
Several grandmothers have gathered here to enjoy the cool air, bringing their own small stools and palm-leaf fans, and some even hold large teapots.
When Liu Wangxue went out, he would occasionally meet people from the village, so he was familiar with most of them. When he met them, he would say hello, nod, and ask "Where are you going?"
When Pengpeng was a stray dog, it was well-known in the area. When the villagers learned that it was adopted by Liu Wangxue and saw how beautiful it was, they had a better impression of Liu Wangxue.
A grandmother waved at them: "Xuxu, Jinghe, Youyou, come here, come here."
The three of them walked over, and grandma took out a few fruit candies from her pocket and handed them to them: "Eat them, they are sour and sweet."
“Thank you, grandma!”
The grandmother was over 80 years old, her teeth were almost all gone, and she spoke with a lisp. But when she saw them eating candy, her wrinkled face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
The little parrot immediately began its greeting process, one for each person, which made the grandmothers laugh out loud.
A gray-haired grandmother asked Liu Wangxue: "Hey, when did you get another bird? It's so beautiful!"
Youyou's mouth was watering because of the sour coating on the candy. She sipped it and said, "It's a bird from Taoyuan!"
Jing He added: "I don't know who threw it away, and it ended up in Taoyuan."
Youyou continued, "It wanted a home, so it came here."
Liu Wangxue smiled and said, "Just like Pengpeng, he is also a stray kid, so I just kept him."
The grandmother in a cotton-padded shirt said, "Young people now have a word for this: beautiful people with a kind heart, right? That's what they're talking about, Xuxu."
Everyone laughed and praised Liu Wangxue.
The little parrot suddenly heard the birds singing and flew up to the tree to socialize.
Liu Wangxue took the two children and the two dogs to play ball.
Jinghe threw the ball out, and Pengpeng immediately chased it happily, brought it back and wagged its tail at Jinghe, wanting to play again.
Xiaoci, the lazy cat, didn't want to move. Liu Wangxue asked Youyou to tease it with a cat teaser, but it was too lazy to even look at it.
Liu Wangxue held its head with both hands, held it still, looked directly into its eyes, and said, "Lazy cat, do you know that you have gained weight, huh?"
After Gu Xuelan came back, she wanted to get close to the cat and often used snacks to tease it. At first, Xiaoci just treated her as a stranger and ignored her.
However, seeing Pengpeng getting close to her, I realized that she was also one of the masters of this house. After two days, she couldn't resist the temptation of snacks and ate too much.
Peng Peng saw Gu Xuelan always feeding the cat snacks, and she also made a fuss, so she ate a lot too.
One infects two, and none of the three can escape.
Liu Wangxue had been concentrating on the script for more than a week and hadn't even thought of reminding Gu Xuelan.
It wasn't until the day before yesterday when she went out for a run, holding Xiaoci, that she suddenly felt that the weight was not right. After returning home, she weighed the cat and found that it had gained two kilograms! Then the dog and the little parrot also did not escape the scale, but they were fine, as they usually exercise enough, so they didn't gain much weight.
Liu Wangxue looked at Xiaoci, who had just weighed herself and curled up on the cat climbing frame, and sighed, it was really like what they said on the Internet, cats fed by grandma or grandmother could not escape the fate of getting fat.
Liu Wangxue specifically told Gu Xuelan about the situation: "Mom, cats of Xiaoci's breed cannot be fat, otherwise it may induce diseases that are difficult to treat."
When Gu Xuelan heard this, she immediately became worried and said she would never feed the baby again.
So Liu Wangxue started to help the cat lose weight, which actually meant changing its diet back to normal and letting it exercise more every day.
But this lazy guy always needs a good talk before he is willing to run.
Liu Wangxue continued to hold its head and educate it: "As an adult cat, you must be responsible for yourself and learn to control your weight. Do you understand?"
Youyou waved the cat toy stick, not finishing the candy in her mouth: "You have to be responsible for Jiji!"
Xiaoci's face wrinkled into a ball: "Meow~"
Liu Wangxue continued: "I'm not asking you to become as thin as a lightning bolt. Let's just lose these two pounds, and then you can do whatever you want in the future, okay? A meow will be considered your consent~"
Youyou: “Meow~”
Xiaoci reluctantly said: "Meow~"
At this time, Gu Gua flew back and stepped on Xiao Ci's head: "Fat! Fat!"
Small theater Xiaoci: I don’t want to eat! Grandma keeps feeding me!
Pengpeng: If you can't control your mouth, you have to move your legs
