Shen Yanli slowly withdrew his thoughts, looked into her slightly complaining eyes, sighed silently in his heart, reached out and wiped the hay residue on her hair and face, wanted to say something, but in the end said nothing.
After all, she herself didn't seem to mind it at all, and even asked the director to shoot it again. She seemed to like this job very much, and he couldn't interfere rashly.
And there are only a few such scenes in the whole process...
But even so, Shen Yanli still couldn’t stand it, took a deep breath and said: “Wanwan, if you are wronged, you must tell me in time.”
Zhou Yunwan listened to his irrelevant words and didn't understand what he meant at all. When she was about to continue asking questions, a staff member came to her and asked her to change clothes and clean up the dirt on her body.
"I'm coming." Zhou Yunwan responded, and asked Shen Yanli to sit here and wait for her. She would go to the only supply and marketing cooperative in the village to buy some flour, candy, etc., and then go to Liu's house for dinner together.
When they were leaving just now, Old Man Liu mentioned the issue of Chen Yanli's meal. Zhou Yunwan was so excited that she didn't expect this. There was no state-owned restaurant for them to eat in the countryside.
Without waiting for the two of them to discuss it, Old Man Liu took the initiative to invite them to come back for lunch at noon and add two pairs of chopsticks.
You can refuse other things, but you can't be stubborn when it comes to eating. So Zhou Yunwan and Shen Yanli decided to buy something else to repay the favor.
...
...
They bought a pound of flour and a pound of fruit candy and went straight to Liu's house. Before they got close, they could smell the fragrance of rice coming from the kitchen.
After Gao Menglan finished her part, she went straight back to the Liu family. Now she is sitting under the eaves, holding a palm-leaf fan to enjoy the cool air.
Seeing Chen Yanli following behind Zhou Yunwan, Gao Menglan subconsciously sat up straight. She had heard about Chen Yanli's identity. It was a pity that such a good opportunity had already been taken by that woman Zhou Yunwan.
Thinking of this, Gao Menglan fanned herself even harder and asked casually, "Why are you back?"
"Come back for dinner." Zhou Yunwan replied casually, then carried her things and walked towards the kitchen.
Before I arrived at the place, I met Old Man Liu and his wife coming out of the kitchen.
Zhou Yunwan smiled and handed the item over: "Auntie, this is for you."
The flour and other things sold by the supply and marketing cooperative were all in bulk, so they were packed in paper bags. Old man Liu's wife could tell the difference at a glance.
"Just eat, why buy food?"
“It should be.”
The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Old Man Liu's wife reluctantly took the things. She asked them to sit down and rest, and then she carried the things back to the kitchen.
At this time, the second daughter-in-law of the Liu family sat in front of the fire and made a fire, complaining to her eldest sister-in-law who was in charge of cooking, "Having that woman Gao Menglan is not enough. Dad even invited Comrade Zhou and her wife to dinner. I'm afraid he thinks our food reserves are too much? If this continues, the rice jar will be empty sooner or later."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family didn't care about this: "Didn't you hear what Dad said? We are just inviting them to a meal, can they eat up all our food?"
In her opinion, Zhou Yunwan was beautiful and generous. She would always share some food with her son, and even took some from the second son's family. The pastries and dried fruits looked exquisite and must have been expensive.
Now that her lover is here, what's wrong with having a meal?
The second daughter-in-law of the Liu family was choked by her words, and she also remembered Zhou Yunwan's kindness. Knowing that she was in the wrong, she stammered and changed the subject.
"I'm not blaming Comrade Zhou. I'm talking about Gao Menglan. She's just taking advantage of the incident with the third child and living off the land without a clear conscience. I haven't seen her do anything good for our family. Why should we suffer with her? Just tell me if what I said makes sense?"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family paused while cooking. It was her parents who agreed to take care of Gao Menglan's meals. Her parents were the ones who managed the family, so she wouldn't say anything even if she had any objections. It was just that Gao Menglan had a bunch of other requests besides meals, and her attitude of ordering people around was too bad, which made people feel unhappy.
Over time, she began to feel more or less resentful.
Just as he was about to say something, he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye and immediately shut up.
The second daughter-in-law of the Liu family didn't notice anything unusual and kept talking. Liu's wife happened to hear her. "If you don't want to, I don't need your help. I can do it myself. It's really unfair for you to help the third son."
The second daughter-in-law of the Liu family was startled and quickly explained: "Mom, that's not what I meant..."
But Old Man Liu's wife ignored her and handed the things to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family: "This is the white flour that Comrade Zhou and her wife bought. You should mix the flour quickly and make some leek dumplings."
After saying this, she went out again without even looking at Liu's second daughter-in-law.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite harmonious.
When the Liu family learned that Shen Yanli was a high-level intellectual, they were so excited that they asked him all kinds of questions and even asked him to help see if their children were good at studying.
For most people in rural areas, studying is basically the only way out of the mountains.
As for whether it is true or not, how can parents not know? A genius can still shine even if he is covered in dust.
But obviously, the two children of the Liu family are not good at studying.
Zhou Yunwan was picking at the dumplings in the bowl. For the first time, she felt that the word "smooth" could be used to describe Shen Yanli. He talked about this and that, sometimes making high-sounding speeches and sometimes giving down-to-earth examples, indicating that studying was not the only way out and that having a skill to support oneself was also a skill.
It not only made the Liu family happy, but also preserved the children's self-esteem.
This is true. Mastering a skill is indeed more useful than studying sometimes. At least for the Liu family's children, learning carpentry from the elders at home is not a bad thing.
After dinner, Chen Yanli accompanied Zhou Yunwan to film for a while, and then had to leave. If they were any later, the guesthouse might be closed.
Zhou Yunwan reluctantly saw Shen Yanli off, was sad for a while, and then immediately threw herself into the filming. As long as the filming progress today was perfect enough, they could finish work early tomorrow!
With this mentality, Zhou Yunwan was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and worked hard until the filming officially ended at noon the next day.
"Hahaha, I really hope your lover can come more often, so that we can go home as soon as possible." Zhao Tong poked Zhou Yunwan's arm and joked with a smirk.
Zhou Yunwan glared at her and said coquettishly, "Tsk, I usually work hard, right? I just worked extra hard these past two days."
“Yes, yes, then go ahead, I won’t bother you anymore.” Zhao Tong pushed her towards Shen Yanli, who had been waiting for more than half an hour.
Zhou Yunwan picked up the change of clothes she had packed in the morning and trotted towards Shen Yanli.
The sun was very strong today, even in the morning, the sun was very hot. The entire crew stayed in the sun for three hours. Zhou Yunwan felt thirsty and hot, as if she would evaporate in the next second.
As soon as she got on the bus, she couldn't wait to drink some boiled water, muttering, "It's so hot! It's already September, why is it still so hot?"
Shen Yanli stared at her sunburned, obviously abnormal little face, and clenched his teeth.
Zhou Yunwan was busy drinking water and didn't notice his expression. Seeing that there was no one around, she smiled and approached him: "Hubby, can you help me wipe the sweat off my face?"
Shen Yanli sighed silently, took out the handkerchief he carried with him, and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead until it became clean.
He looked at her wet hair, endured it, and tentatively said: "Wanwan, how about..."
After a long while, he added: "Are you going to quit your job?"
