We'll finish work around 5 PM.
Half of Xiao Nian Gao's scenes were filmed.
Yun Jin and the others are going to Dai's father's house for dinner tonight, so they need to get there early.
When Director Liu found out, he finished filming Xiao Niangao's scenes for the day early and sent them away.
Yun Jin drove away from the film set and went back to the hotel. The family changed into clothes for their outing. After a 15-minute drive, they arrived at Dai's father's mansion around 6:30.
They did not live with Lin Wenfang and her husband.
Basically, any family dinner will be held here at the old house.
Charlie was waiting at the door early. When Yun Jin and the others arrived, he gentlemanly opened the car door for Xiao Niangao and the others.
Little Rice Cake couldn't wait to tell Charlie about her day: "The movie I made will be released this year, so come see me at the cinema, brother!"
Charlie nodded.
Little Rice Cake added, "Filming was so much fun! The older brothers and sisters are all so beautiful, but I couldn't understand what they were saying."
Charlie knew it must be Cantonese, and she definitely wouldn't understand it.
Charlie said, "I can teach you."
"Okay!" Little Rice Cake's eyes lit up.
Yun Jin watched the two little ones chattering non-stop as soon as they met, and she was both amused and exasperated. She then took Xiao Niangao and Charlie to meet Dai's father and Charlie's mother, where Lin Wenfang and the others were also present.
Lin's mother came with Lin Wenfang and the others.
When Yun Jin and the others went to the film set, Lin's mother spent more time with her daughter and her grandson.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mr. Dai took them to a restaurant for dinner. The large round table could accommodate more than twenty people for a meal, which was clearly something a large family would prepare.
Dinner was sumptuous, and the chef even prepared several dishes in the Beijing style. Mr. and Mrs. He ate with great relish, and Xiao Niangao ate a few extra bites.
After eating and drinking their fill, the children played in the yard, while Mr. He's parents and Mr. Dai's father sat drinking tea, playing chess, and chatting about topics that interested them.
Charlie's mother took Yunjin around to see the sights and chatted about parenting.
Little Rice Cake exclaimed in surprise when she saw their big swimming pool: "Wow, Charlie, can you still swim?"
"Do you want to go swimming?" It's already quite cool in the port city in March.
The little rice cake nodded with a bright, moist look.
Soon, Yun Jin was told that Xiao Niangao and Xiao Charlie were going swimming.
Yun Jin said she didn't bring her a swimsuit.
Charlie's mother said, "It's alright, I'll have someone bring it over. How tall is Nian Gao?"
Yun Jin felt embarrassed to refuse, so she gave her size. Less than half an hour later, three swimsuits were delivered for her to choose from. Xiao Niangao chose a swimsuit with a little bee pattern, which almost made Yun Jin laugh to death.
"Mom, isn't this good?" Little Rice Cake asked, puzzled.
Yun Jin shook her head: "If you like it, that's fine!"
The little rice cake said crisply, "I like it, I want this set!"
Yun Jin changed Xiao Niangao's clothes and made sure the water temperature was hot.
That's right, the swimming pools of wealthy families even have heating functions. Although it's not cold today, it's still a bit chilly to go into the water. They heat it up for half an hour, and the water temperature in the pool is about the same as when you're soaking in a hot spring.
The two little ones went swimming, and there were cute toys floating on the water. Charlie is a good swimmer, and so is Little Rice Cake. They had swum a lot at the camp before, all taught by Yun Jin.
The two even had a swimming race, with Charlie generally swimming faster. Later, seeing that Little Rice Cake was unhappy, he started letting the water go.
Yun Jin and Charlie's mother sat on a beach chair, watching the two children playing and getting along. Charlie's mother smiled and said, "Nian Gao is so adorable. When did my son become so patient with other girls and even know how to give way to them? He's such a gentleman."
"Charlie is indeed a gentleman, very polite. You've raised him very well!" Yun Jin praised.
Charlie's mother almost couldn't suppress her smile: "He's only like this with Nian Gao, he doesn't have this much patience with other little girls."
"It's all fate." What else could Yun Jin say? An arranged marriage was out of the question; she wouldn't put a shackle on her daughter.
They're still kids, just playing together innocently; you can't let anything else get involved.
Charlie's mother smiled when she saw Yun Jin's vigilance, but said nothing. Her son was so outstanding that she would definitely like him when Xiao Nian Gao grew up and became more perceptive.
As for his own son, the kid probably has no idea why he likes this little sister so much. It's not like no other girls have wanted to play with him before, but they've always ignored him.
The little girl ran away because she was so cold.
After swimming for a while, they were all tired. Yun Jin scooped the two children out of the water, dried them off, changed their clothes, and then Yun Jin and the others prepared to leave.
Mr. Dai saw them to the door and invited them to come back and play again when they had time.
They were just being polite.
He wouldn't have invited them, otherwise Yun Jin and the others would have felt awkward coming over.
That evening, Xiao Niangao finally got through to his father on the phone. He chattered on and on about what had happened in the past two days. He Tingchuan said, "Swimming in this cold?"
"Daddy, the water is hot, not cold at all. I asked Mommy to come with me, but she wouldn't agree, so it's just me and Charlie who can swim together." Little Rice Cake didn't know that Yun Jin was too embarrassed to go swimming if the lady of the house hadn't gone in!
He Tingchuan was relieved that his wife hadn't gone into the water.
"They're making a movie? What movie?" He Tingchuan was surprised; they hadn't spoken for a few days, and now they were making a movie.
Has he become out of touch with them?
Little Niangao told her father about Director Liu's approach to her, her little mouth chattering away without Yun Jin needing to interrupt. Little Niangao told her father everything she knew, and even received the comment, "My daughter is so amazing! When it's released, Dad will definitely go to the cinema to see it!"
After calming his daughter down, He Tingchuan finally spoke to his wife: "When are you going back to Beijing?"
