Chapter 325: Control
Zhu Xueheng drank the rest of the beer, put it away, and saw that his daughter was still unhappy.
"I'm going to work out later, okay?"
Liang Yan was satisfied, "Dad, you are great!"
Before Zhu Xueheng could utter "Thank you, baby", a sneering sound came from the side.
"You've been taken advantage of?"
Zhu Xueheng: …
No wonder Su Yi always quarrels with his daughter, he is such an unlikable person!
Zhu Xueheng was angry, but chose to keep silent.
He smiled at his daughter and watched Liang Yan return to their trio to continue eating hot pot. He held his bowl and moved away from Su Yi.
Su Yi snorted coldly, also holding the bowl, and went over to see Shi Xu's excitement!
Shi Xu is still the one who suffers the most!
The elder daughter Guoguo asked him to pick up the food, and the younger daughter Jiujiu attacked by acting cute, trying to steal her sister's food.
If Shi Xu didn't give any to Jiujiu, Jiujiu would burst into tears. Guoguo also urged for more, but Shi Xu didn't give any to Guoguo in time, so Guoguo wanted to do it herself.
What comforted Shi Xu a little was that Guoguo knew that her sister had to eat specially prepared food and would not feed her the same food she ate herself.
Guoguo and Jiujiu finally finished their meal, and the two sisters played together. Shi Xu felt empty-minded, so he turned around and saw that Su Yi was the only one who had not finished eating.
"You guys eat so fast?"
Shi Xu felt a little tired and didn't even feel like eating.
Su Yi swallowed the shrimp balls in his mouth, "No, to be exact, they are all eaten, and you are the only one left."
He was just bored watching the excitement, and always wanted to eat something. He learned this bad habit from Su Yu.
Shi Xu was hungry, but he had no appetite. He didn't want to force himself to eat anything, so he took a sip of the milk next to him, trying to stab Su Yi, "You eat so much, aren't you worried that your body will be out of shape?"
"No, I exercise every day!"
Su Yi said this with gritted teeth, and it was obvious that he was harboring a lot of resentment.
"Did your daughter force you to do that?"
Su Yu, Liang Yan, Tang Can, Ji Yan and Ming Meng were playing flying chess. Guo Guo pushed her sister's stroller over to watch.
Zhu Xueheng was on the other side making a phone call, so they were the only two people left at the table.
"No, it's my eldest brother!"
Su Xi exercises every day. After discovering that Su Yi fishes for three days and dries the nets for two days, he asks Su Yi to send him a fitness video every day.
Su Yi was very resentful about this. Su Xi was really too aggressive! From time to time, Su Xi would fight with him to test his results. If he lost, he would have to double his training that day!
And he never won!
Shi Xu felt much better when he saw Su Yi was in a bad mood. After dinner, Ming Meng went with Ji Yan to see the development of Ji Yan's studio. Shi Xu took his two daughters to coax them to take a nap.
Su Yi was still watching the excitement from the side.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you are such a loser!"
Guoguo was sleeping very well, but Jiujiu became more energetic after Shixu coaxed her for half an hour!
Before, Jiujiu was playing with the corner of the quilt, but now she wants to throw away her own little pillow and play with Shixu!
"Yeah! It's so tiring to take care of kids!"
Shi Xu rarely takes care of children himself. The experience of taking care of the children these two days made him reflect on whether he had been too much in the past. All the matters of the two children fell on Ming Meng.
…
“He knows he’s tired of taking care of kids!”
Ming Meng, who was in Ji Yan's study, recalled what Shi Xu said last night and wanted to laugh.
When her mother-in-law acted like a noble lady and asked her to give birth to another son, Shi Xu did not stand on her side at the first time. Ming Meng was very angry!
She is almost going crazy from taking care of her children, she has no intention of having another one!
After just a few hours yesterday, Shi Xu couldn't hold on any longer!
"You, let go when it's time to let go, don't take everything on yourself!"
Ji Yan handed over her studio program to Ming Meng.
After Ming Meng finished reading it, he suddenly had an idea.
"How about I make a show where wives and husbands swap roles? The wife goes to work, and the husband stays at home to take care of the kids!"
Ji Yan was silent for a while. "I know what you mean, but the reality may be that my wife has to clean up the mess and take care of the children after she comes back from work."
Moreover, this program does not conform to mainstream thinking. If she releases it, it will probably not have much of an impact. The power of one person can hardly influence everyone.
“You’re so negative!”
Ming Meng was surprised. After Su Yi recovered from his illness, Ji Yan was full of energy. Now when she talked about this, she felt a little resigned.
"After working for a long time, you will become more realistic. Ideals are just ideals after all."
The studio founded by Ji Yan has been in operation for two years, and the signed artists have been producing short dramas and some short videos.
Rather than saying her studio is an entertainment studio, it would be more accurate to say it is a high-quality internet celebrity studio.
Doesn't she want to be in TV series, movies, singing shows?
She thought!
However, her studio was boycotted by the industry. People in the industry dared not use her artists, and could not get her to pass the relevant approval.
Her mother went to find a connection, and the other party told them that approval and release were not a problem. The problem was that they had to agree to capital inflow and return to the normal entertainment industry model.
The model of Ji Yan's studio is too abnormal!
Not only are they all actresses, but ugly people can even play the leading roles, and their remuneration is still distributed according to their individual labor and traffic rather than according to the artist's status, which is inconsistent with mainstream pursuits.
It doesn't matter if it's a short play or a short video, everyone just wants to have fun watching it.
But you can’t do that in TV dramas!
If Ji Yan didn't change, they couldn't agree. The combined power behind those people was no less than that of the Xu family.
Book
Ji Yan hesitated for a long time after receiving the news, but finally decided not to change her mind. She originally established this studio to discover talented people with acting skills. Since the competition track did not welcome her situation, she would not go.
After hearing what Ming Meng said about the show, Ji Yan's first reaction was that it was not realistic.
"Isn't this show realistic? It will surely resonate with mothers who are also struggling to take care of their children!"
Ji Yan stopped trying to instill her views into Ming Meng, "If you do this show, be prepared to lose money."
Let’s not talk about how many people are willing to exchange jobs with their wives. Even if there are, what will happen after the switch?
What is the probability that men will take the initiative to help women with housework?
Having already tried to work and earn money, would a woman with money still be willing to stay at home to take care of children and do housework?
If the woman is unwilling, family quarrels will break out, and even divorce may occur. They will not think that it is their own problem, but Ming Meng's program team will be blamed!
Netizens who are good at making complaints have united to have Ming Meng's program removed from the shelves. How can the cost of a program that has been removed be recovered?
Speaking of losing money, Ming Meng became depressed.
“Will there really be a loss?”
Ming Meng looked at the financial report in Ji Yan's hand. Ji Yan's studio was developing well. Even her somewhat weird abnormal talent group had good reward flow and subsequent development.
"Yes, I won't invest anyway, you can do it yourself."
Two years ago, Ji Yan would have invested in this project. But now, Ji Yan doesn't want to waste money on it. Her precious daughter is trying her best to make a little money to draw cards!
She can't hold the child back!
Su Yu didn't know what Ji Yan was thinking. She went to training as soon as she woke up.
At first she felt very tired. The training was too strenuous, but she was just a child and had bodyguards to help her, so nothing would go wrong, right?
But when she was five years old, she was almost kidnapped at school.
A parent of a child came to the school and wanted to take action against Su Yu, kidnap her and ask for money from the Su family. If Su Yu had not been smart enough and had good fighting skills, she would have been strangled and taken away by the parent.
After that, she took the initiative to participate in training to improve her abilities.
"It's so soft and hot. Why is it so hot this year?"
"Regional issues, it's cool here!"
The temperature in the mountains is also high this year.
"Grandma has asked the housekeeper to arrange bodyguards to check the water pipes in every place, and then sprinkle water. After sprinkling water, the temperature will drop."
Liang Yan was a little tired, "Let's go back indoors!"
Su Yu took the lead and walked inside, "Let's go!"
The teacher in charge also followed them inside, muttering as he walked, "You guys can't do this, what are you going to do with the military training in high school?"
After high school military training, there is also university military training. The former can last from seven days to a month, while the latter usually lasts only a month.
During military training, they cannot stay in a comfortable temperature all the time. Being exposed to the sun is a normal part of their training.
"Whatever you have to do!"
Su Yu doesn't care. The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridgehead. If the bridgehead is not straight, just fill up the lake!
At worst, she could skip to the second year of high school after the junior high school entrance exam and apply to be exempted from military training.
Liang Yan and Tang Can didn't want to suffer, so they kept silent. They thought that Xiaoyu/Ruanhuhu would find a way anyway.
Okay!
The teacher shut up and continued with the indoor training of the three children.
Guoguo's ghostly howling could be heard from next door. After finishing their daily tasks, Su Yu and her friends went over to watch.
"Guoguo's crying is becoming more and more sincere!"
It's completely different from the pretentious howling before!
Guoguo was crying, and Sister Xiaoyu was talking while standing, so she didn’t feel any back pain!
"I can't do it anymore. I still need to grow taller. I can't train anymore! I'm still in the growth stage!"
The new teacher who taught Guoguo was very serious. "Don't worry, this is the plan we decided at the meeting last night. It is absolutely suitable for children of your age and will not affect your normal growth and development."
They didn't assign many tasks to Guoguo, but Guoguo himself was a little resistant and worked slowly, which made it seem like it took a long time.
Su Yu, Liang Yan and Tang Can laughed when they heard the teacher's sarcasm.
Guoguo lived in such dire straits for two months.
When school was about to start, Mingmeng and Shixu asked Guoguo whether she should stay here or go back to school. Guoguo didn't think about it for a second and chose to go to school!
Guoguo was sent to kindergarten at Su Yu and her classmates' alma mater.
Su Yu only celebrated for Guoguo at home, "Congratulations, sister, for going to school!"
"Thank you, sister!"
Guoguo was still very worried on her first day at school. She was afraid that some other kids would want to bully her!
"Sister, can you take me to class?"
Guoguo had a good idea. Su Yu was said to be very famous, and if she sent her to the class, other children might not dare to bully her.
Su Yu disagreed. "Sister, I'm worried that if I go, everyone will have too high expectations of you. They will want you to be like me and have the best grades!"
So far, Su Yu has not had any difficulty and can maintain her current grades. But the higher the grade, the more complicated the questions, and the greater the pressure Su Yu has to bear. Everyone thinks she is a little genius who can do everything and will definitely be the first.
This invisible expectation was conveyed by their words, causing Su Yu to feel a certain amount of psychological pressure.
Guoguo didn't understand. She just heard that Su Yu was unwilling to send her there, and she felt a little sad.
Su Yu explained seriously, "If I send you there, they will want you to be the best in everything."
“Is it difficult to be first?”
“It’s difficult!”
Su Yu used running as an example, "For example, 50 meters should be completed within 13 seconds, or even less. Maybe someone will be better than you."
After Su Yu finished speaking, she marked out an area and asked Guo Guo to run 50 meters while she timed him.
Guoguo's score was 20 seconds.
"I can run faster!"
Guoguo puffed up her cheeks, not very satisfied with the result. Before, she ran faster when her mother chased her!
But today, she just couldn’t run fast here with Sister Xiaoyu!
Damn!
Why?
"But in school, you are required to run at the fastest speed all the time, and there is a high probability that you cannot make mistakes, otherwise people might talk about you."
Guoguo can’t accept that there were people who hurt her in kindergarten, but she can accept others belittling her?
"That's so difficult!"
Guoguo proved with practical actions that nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up.
On the first day of school, Guoguo used his newly learned acting skills and blended in with a group of other crying children without standing out at all!
That day was the day Guoguo ate the most snacks!
In order to appease them, the teacher took them to eat small cakes. The children who studied hard in class were rewarded with candies, and everyone ate apple pie together after class!
There was also a small party in the afternoon with a variety of delicious food. The teacher asked the children to go on stage and introduce themselves!
The children who introduced themselves were able to receive snacks from the teacher.
After returning home, Guoguo was extremely happy! After showing off to Mingmeng and Shixu, he also went to find Su Yu to show off.
"Sister, going to school is so good, why didn't you tell me?"
If she knew that there would be so many delicious foods in this school, she would not have gone to the mountains for training! She would have agreed to go to school!
Su Yu touched Guoguo's head and said, "You'll know when you go to school and do your homework!"
Su Yu's homework is taught by a tutor. Guo Guo's, at first, will most likely be taught by Ming Meng who wants to maintain the mother-daughter relationship or Shi Xu who wants to maintain the father-daughter relationship.
Su Yu could imagine what would follow would be the roars of the two parents!
“Is the writing assignment difficult?”
Guoguo tilted her head. She didn’t have any homework!
“You’ll know how difficult it is once you write it!”
Guoguo was unhappy, puffing her cheeks and sulking, "Can't you tell me in advance? If I have to experience everything myself, what's the use of your experience?"
Su Yu was somewhat dazed by Guo Guo's question. She seemed to have said something similar before.
"Well, it's not difficult if you study hard, but it's very difficult if you don't study hard!"
Guoguo was still dissatisfied, "Sister, it's the same as if you didn't say anything!"
Su Yu raised her lips and thought of a good idea. "Sister can let you know in advance whether it is difficult or not. Do you want to try it?"
