I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 1067 1062. Let it be

"Xu Wanqing! Stop right there! I'm going to beat you to death today!"

Because of the jet lag, Xu Xin wanted to rest for a while after he got home.

He had to rest.

He was so busy that he only came home now. Before the New Year, whether it was the relatives on the father-in-law's side or the relatives on this side, including his group of bad friends and family matters, it was all handled by his wife.

He can only do so little.

Minister, tonight I have to let Xiao Sanjin work hard, and it's easy to break if you are too strong, and you will die before you stop!

So I planned to take advantage of this time to sleep for a while, so as to deal with this tough battle in the evening.

As a result, just as he fell asleep, he suddenly heard Yang Mi's roar outside, which scared him all of a sudden.

He instinctively got up from the sofa, and then saw Xu Miao and Zhang Qian standing by the window sill, and Yang Mi in the yard was holding a... broom that sweeps the yard at home and chasing Nuan Nuan.

"???"

He was confused and didn't quite understand what was going on.

But after thinking about it, he got up, put on his clothes and walked out of the house.

"Ah!! Dad!!!!"

Nuannuan saw him coming out and rushed over here.

Xu Xin picked up his daughter, half of his body sideways, and looked at Yang Mi who was bullying him after saving her:

"What are you doing?"

And then he saw... a puppy shivering in the corner of the yard.

"Get up! Xu Sanjin! If I get angry, I'll take care of you too!"

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

He quickly gave her a look, meaning "There are people around, give some face."

But after seeing his look, Yang Mi suddenly laughed.

"...Hey, smell your daughter's right hand."

"?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin grabbed his daughter's right hand and put it in front of his nose.

Then...

"Ugh!!!"

An indescribable stench instantly came over him, causing him to dry heave unconsciously.

At this time, Yang Mi's voice rang out:

"The puppy is pooping, and your daughter goes to poke it. How is it? Does it smell good?"

"...???"

Xu Xin was completely speechless. He looked at his daughter with a smirk on her face, and her mother who looked exactly like her...Without saying anything, he hugged Nuan Nuan and went to wash his hands.

After walking a few steps, Nuan Nuan suddenly poked her hand into her father's nostrils:

"Dad, smell it..."

"Ugh..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Yang Mi started laughing wildly behind him.

After such a scene, Xu Xin's sleepiness disappeared.

Dog shit is really smelly...he finally understood.

He threw his daughter off in a bad mood, and took the cigarette handed to him by Xu Miao with his wet hands.

"Where's Dabao?"

Nuannuan, who was petting the dog again, turned her head subconsciously:

"Ah?"

"Get lost!"

Xu Xin glared at the daughter who was exactly like her mother, and then looked at the son who was honestly painting something on the cement wall of his house with coal blocks... thinking that sons are better.

Raising a son to prepare for old age, the ancients were true.

This daughter who is a scumbag is here to collect debts.

Xu Miao pushed Xu Xin speechlessly:

"The father is not serious."

Then he said:

"She is sleeping in the house. She played with her brother and sister all day and is tired... I guess she will sleep until seven or eight o'clock."

Xu Dabao Xu Muchen is almost 4 years old now.

I have to sigh...time flies so fast.

Xu Xin nodded, looking at the puppy that could only whimper but not move under Nuannuan's abuse, and asked in wonder:

"Where did you get it from?"

"My aunt gave it to me. Nuannuan insisted on having it, and it's only been one month old..."

Yang Mi complained while shoveling up the dog's shit with a shovel.

"Yangyang, get a plastic bag for mom."

Yangyang, who had just finished half of a mural... and couldn't tell what it was, was quietly admiring his masterpiece. When he heard this, he directly found a dirty plastic bag in the coal shed:

"Mom gave it to me."

"Hold it."

"..."

In the eyes of adults, it was obvious that Yangyang was unhappy, but he was reluctant, but he still used his two little hands to hold the plastic bag open.

Then when his mother reached over with the shovel of dog shit, he glanced away with disdain.

Xu Miao laughed instantly:

"Hahahaha..."

Zhang Qian also laughed there.

But the adults' laughter did not bring Yangyang's dissatisfaction.

Instead, he glared at his sister who was petting the dog.

They are twins.

They have telepathy.

Nuannuan subconsciously looked up and saw her brother's eyes...

"? You glared at me!?"

After saying that, he let go of the dog and stood up, obviously looking for trouble with his brother.

Yangyang instantly collected the plastic bag, held it in his hand, and raised it high...

He didn't say anything.

But the meaning was already very clear.

If you dare to come over, I will beat you!

Nuannuan didn't care about his threats.

Tietou was about to charge.

This look made Xu Miao speechless.

These are siblings... Why are they so... so... careless.

Hurry up, grab the little niece, and say to Yangyang:

"Quick, throw the dog shit in the trash can at the door. Remember to watch the car."

While he was pulling her, Nuannuan was still not forgiving:

"If uncle hadn't held you back, you'd be dead!"

"I'll throw shit in your face!"

"Ah!! You dare! I'll beat you to death!"

"..."

Xu Miao thought to himself that the two kids had only been together for a year, how could they be so rude?

Unexpectedly, Yang Yang just opened the door and suddenly turned around and shouted to the inside:

"Mom, the second aunt is here."

As soon as the words fell, a noble lady in her forties or fifties, wearing gold and silver, came to the door.

Xu Xin and Xu Miao hurriedly shouted:

"Second aunt."

"Yeah. Yang Yang, be good... Mi Mi, let's go."

"Oh, okay. Nuan Nuan, put the dog down, let's go."

Xu Xin asked in confusion:

"Where are you going?"

"Second aunt is taking me and my sister-in-law to dinner."

After Yang Mi finished speaking, Zhang Qian also nodded and said to Xu Miao:

"Take good care of the child."

"Don't worry."

Xu Miao responded.

As for Xu Xin... Yang Mi didn't care about him at all.

He took the two kids and went out directly.

In an instant, the two brothers were left in the lively yard.

Xu Miao glanced at his brother and pointed to the boiler room:

"Add two shovels of coal."

"Okay."

Xu Xin nodded and walked towards the coal shed.

Xu Miao did not follow.

When he came again, he had a baby call device in his hand.

The two brothers sat in the warm coal shed just like when they were children, watching the black coal in the boiler slowly start to smoke.

"Old Wang got married, and after I met Uncle Wang this time, we chatted..."

Xu Xin gave him a cigarette and told him about the chat with Old Wang.

Xu Miao nodded:

"Yes, he did say that to me last time. But it wasn't my idea to stop us from leaving like that. It was decided by our father. Our father meant to do it for the people's livelihood. One house might empty the wallets of several generations. If there is a problem with the funds, we can afford the loss, but others can't. There is no need... We are not short of money, just treat it as a career."

As he said, he took a piece of coal from the fire pit, lit a cigarette for himself and his brother, and suddenly said:

"Our father got a piece of land in Yantai and built an improved community called Bingyue City. Do you know it?"

"...???"

Xu Xin had a black question mark expression on his face.

"Yantai?"

"Yeah."

"Ice...?"

"..."

In Xu Miao's slightly strange silence, Xu Xin was speechless for a moment, and then said:

"The old man spends a lot of money to pick up girls..."

"Pa!"

Xu Miao slapped him on the back of his head in annoyance:

"What are you talking about?"

"...What can I say? When it comes to picking up girls, the old man is more capable?"

Xu Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then complained:

"If I had the old man's ability, I could shit on Yang Mi's neck now!"

"...Why are you so dirty?"

Xu Miao's face was full of disgust.

Then he said:

"Oh yeah, which day are you leaving?"

"I plan to leave after the Lantern Festival."

"So late? Uncle Yang..."

"They went to Hokkaido to take a hot spring bath and will be back after the 15th."

"But I saw on the news that the opening ceremony is on February 6th?"

"I don't have any movies this year, so I don't have to go so early. I'll leave on the 15th and the closing ceremony will be on the 16th. Yang Mi and I will be back on the 17th after presenting the awards... What? You want to go and have some fun too?"

"I'm not going... Then if you don't leave on the 7th, let me use the plane. I have to go back to Shanghai on the 6th, Hainan on the 8th, and Zhengzhou on the 10th."

"......?"

Xu Xin looked puzzled.

There are two private jets at home.

Nominally, there is one for the brothers and one for the old man.

But in fact, over the years, the old man has used Xu Miao's plane more often, and the other one...is basically used all year round because of the work of his youngest son and daughter-in-law.

Although there was nothing wrong with what Xu Miao said, Xu Xin still asked in confusion:

"Where is your plane? Dad is busy at the beginning of the year?"

Xu Miao shook his head:

"Dad is not busy, but... he said the plane will be used from the sixth day of the first lunar month to the seventeenth day of the first lunar month..."

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

"Let me guess... the route is also to Berlin?"

"... Yeah."

"..."

Now, Xu Xin didn't know what to say.

Okay.

An old man is really spending a lot of money to pick up girls!

Does it mean that Lao Diao and his family will enjoy the treatment of private jets this year?

Good guy.

Then let me, your son, take a civil aviation.

After the two brothers were silent for a while...Xu Miao seemed to be here to hurt him today, and said again:

"Sanjin, if we suddenly have another brother or sister..."

Xu Xin glanced at him.

After Xu Miao saw this, his eyes became embarrassed...

Seeing this, Xu Xin asked:

"Did your father ask you to ask?"

"That's not the case...but some things have already shown signs, so I have to think about it later."

"I..."

Xu Xin opened his mouth.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Say I'm sad...no.

I'm not angry either.

It's just...I feel a strange awkwardness.

But it's not strong.

But for some reason, I just can't open my mouth.

After thinking for a while, he asked back:

"What do you mean?"

"I...don't know either."

Xu Miao, who had been a filial son all his life, suddenly became timid this time.

He took a puff of cigarette hesitantly.

"Puff... I don't really care about the family property... it's just... ah, it's hard to say!"

"Then let it be."

"!"

Now it was Xu Miao's turn to be surprised.

Xu Xin casually threw the half-smoked cigarette into the fire, as if he had said something insignificant:

"Nothing is as important as our dad's happiness. You are not a second-generation ancestor who can't do anything without our dad... I am not either. Besides, it's just that the division between two people becomes three people. As long as our dad lives well, I have no problem."

"..."

Instantly, Xu Miao was completely speechless.

He even felt like a younger brother in his heart.

Obviously, he should have said this, why did he say it?

But surprisingly, he didn't refute it at all.

Staring at the fire pit that was gradually turning red, he nodded slightly:

"Well, OK."

At night, Xu Daqiang returned drunk.

He brought back two 570s. The 570s were filled with all kinds of toys... This was a New Year's gift for his grandchildren.

Then he broke the Xu family's tradition of not liking to answer the phone at night.

He was originally teasing Xu Dabao on the sofa, but a phone call came in, and the old man went back to the house and didn't come out all night.

Xu Xin looked weird.

Why is he so annoying?

...

Early on New Year's Eve.

Going to the grave.

Now that the children are getting older, Xu Daqiang thought about it and let all three children follow him this time.

In fact, since the children have not been exposed to these things, they don't have much fear of the so-called "grave mounds".

Just a little curious.

This time, Yang Mi also told Nuannuan very seriously that she must not make trouble.

If she makes trouble, she will hit her butt with a small bamboo stick when she comes back.

Even Nuannuan, who has always been fearless, dared not to do anything because of her mother's oppression. Let alone the other two children.

Yangyang himself is worry-free. As long as there is no beautiful sister around, he is definitely the most caring little sunshine for his mother and father. And Xu Dabao only follows his sister's lead.

Therefore, the three children are very obedient. They kowtow when asked to kowtow and do whatever they are asked to do.

Kowtow, burn paper.

Xu Xin didn't know if he had an illusion... He always felt that the gold ingots his wife folded were burning particularly well this year.

As soon as it was lit, the flames were blazing and soared into the sky.

The ashes of the yellow paper embers swirled up... He was stunned.

After the paper was burned and the grave was swept, the family began to walk back.

As a result, as soon as they got home... the three children fell asleep at the same time.

They didn't even wake up during lunch.

Xu Daqiang saw that something was wrong, so he drove out of the village in person and asked a famous gentleman in the surrounding ten miles to see it.

The old man came over to take a look, waved his hand and said it was okay.

Meaning: The ancestors were happy to see the little guy for the first time, so they came back to see him. They must leave before dark.

Then... just after noon, the three children woke up.

It was quite metaphysical...

But Xu Daqiang still followed the instructions of his husband, put the three yellow talismans bought for two thousand yuan in his purse, and hung them around the necks of the three children.

No one was allowed to take them off.

In the afternoon, a professional team of chefs came to clean up the New Year's Eve dinner.

After dark, the sound of firecrackers began to resound in Xujiawan.

The dog named "Snot" was brought back and frightened and trembled all over.

As for why it was called Sniff... Xu Xin didn't know.

Anyway, it was named by his daughter.

A table of New Year's Eve dinner was served on the table on time at 7 o'clock.

Turn on the TV and tune to one channel, and everyone started drinking with the news broadcast.

What's the saying?

Have a drink for Guoji News.

Have a drink for Guonei News.

The children left the table after dinner.

Xu Daqiang specially vacated a bedroom on the first floor and made a toy room.

The toys just bought two days ago are in that room.

For the three children, it was like heaven.

When the children left the table, the adults continued to drink and eat as usual.

7:57, 3 minutes before the Spring Festival Gala.

Yang Mi suddenly remembered something and said to Xu Xin:

"Is Feng Xiaogang the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

Xu Xin nodded:

"Yeah."

"Just to see what it's like... Are you interested?"

"No."

Xu Xin gave a very firm answer:

"I talked to Shen Xiaoyang before the New Year. I asked him if he was not going to do a project this year? He told me directly that he wanted to give up the skit. On the one hand, the Spring Festival Gala's review of language works is getting more and more outrageous, and on the other hand, he can't think of any new burdens... Although he said this from a personal point of view, there is really no way to deal with things like review standards. I'm not an old man, and it's too difficult to dance with shackles... I work hard and take care of many parties, but in the end I may not be able to satisfy the audience. Don't say that they didn't invite me... I won't go even if they invite me."

Xu Xin said this firmly, but Xu Daqiang was very happy.

He sipped the wine happily.

The reason why he was so happy was very simple.

Apart from other things, from the tone of the child... you can see, he can perform on the Spring Festival Gala whenever he wants.

Ah...

It's so beautiful!

And in this beautiful mood, the 2014 Spring Festival Gala slowly kicked off.

As for the quality of this Spring Festival Gala...

It's just so-so.

In fact, I don’t know since when, “the Spring Festival Gala is not good” has become a matter of course.

It seems that the mentality of expectation in those days has gone forever with the withdrawal of senior artists such as Zhao Lirong and Zhao Benshan.

Xu Xin really thinks that the Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Horse is quite ordinary.

However, the skit “Help or Not” performed by Shen Teng and Ma Li is quite interesting.

After the performance, Xu Xin said rarely:

“This skit is good. It’s quite interesting.”

“That’s right.”

Yang Mi nodded proudly:

“Don’t you see who checked it.”

“You?”

“No, Teacher Zhao.”

Xu Xin was stunned...

“Teacher Benshan?”

“Yes. Shen Teng and his friends wanted to come up with a skit, but they felt unsure. I introduced them to Liaoning and found the skit giant. The jokes in it were all checked by the giant himself.”

Now, let alone Xu Xin, the whole family was surprised.

Xu Xin thought to himself that it was no wonder...

No wonder the language structure and paragraphs in it are so familiar.

"Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, Lü Dongbin and the dog, the farmer and the snake, Hao Jian and the old lady..."

This series of spoken tones is so similar.

It's just...

Shen Teng is very good.

Really very good.

But after all, he is not Zhao Benshan...

Recalling the elder who has been active in his memory since childhood and has always brought joy to countless people every year, Xu Xin took out his mobile phone, found Zhao Benshan's WeChat, and sent a voice message:

"Teacher Zhao, I am Xiao Xu, I wish you a happy new year. I wish you good health..."

Zhao Benshan replied quite quickly:

"Hahaha, good, good, Xiao Xu, I also wish you a happy new year. I wish you and your family good health..."

Listening to Zhao Benshan's blessing words like a jingle, Xu Xin actually wanted to ask:

"Are you still planning to appear on the Spring Festival Gala? Not the local station, but the CCTV Spring Festival Gala."

But in the end he didn't ask.

And he couldn't ask.

In the end, the family stayed up together.

As the hosts counted down, the family raised their glasses and shouted:

"Happy New Year!!"

Hello 2014, goodbye 2013.

...

At the beginning of the new year.

The first thing Xu Xin received was a pile of cash on the sofa.

Of course, there was also a pile on the coffee table at home.

The brothers Xu Miao and Xu Xin had to take their younger generations to visit other people's homes.

Similarly, other people's children had to come to their own homes.

Xu Daqiang prepared three million cash as New Year's money this year, and I won't mention how much other families prepared... Anyway, Xu Miao met many childhood friends along the way.

Looking at the people who were carrying a bag and a bundle, everyone showed a bit of helplessness.

The New Year's money... is indeed a lot.

But the problem is that no one can bear to carry it back and forth.

You go to this house, I go to that house.

After going back and forth, several children finally got dizzy.

It was almost noon, and the New Year's greetings from door to door finally ended.

Then came the distant relatives and some people who were not from the village.

As usual, Yang Mi began to count the New Year's money.

She also counted Xu Dabao's money.

After counting, in the morning, the three children received more than 1.7 million yuan in New Year's money.

That was real cash...

Then, Xu Daqiang asked to count the money on the table to see how much was left. There were still relatives to visit on the second day of the New Year, so there should be no shortage.

Then... 1.2 million yuan.

In other words... all the money spent visiting relatives this morning was rounded up in the end.

After counting the money, Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"If I had known this, we should have just called to wish each other a happy new year. Isn't this a waste of time?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Nuan Nuan crying:

"Ah! Mine! Mine!!! Here! Here!! Grandpa, Grandpa! Mom is grabbing it!"

"Mom is not grabbing it, Mom is saving it for you!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Apart from anything else, Xu Miao and the other two looked weird.

As expected, all parents in the world are equally evil.

It has nothing to do with being rich or poor.

But anyway.

At the beginning of the new year, there must be something new.

And Xu Xin's new thing is drinking.

All the childhood friends are back, and they have finished wishing each other a happy new year on the first day of the new year. Then it's time to drink.

This one will treat us to lamb at noon this year.

That one will treat us to seafood at night.

Not to mention Xu Xin, even Yang Mi didn't escape.

Those brothers and sisters who followed behind to learn makeup have grown up and learned to drink.

In addition, for so many years, she has been the one who has attended all the weddings and funerals at home.

She has built a very large social network.

Even in the county, if someone brings a girlfriend home... or someone got married last year and Yang Mi didn't go, but sent a gift, they would call her out.

Today this one is invited, tomorrow that one is invited.

Everyone knows that it is a very honorable thing to invite Yang Mi.

And in order to save face for these people, Yang Mi also accepts everyone who comes.

Sometimes you even have to distinguish between close and distant relationships and rush to the scene.

If someone arrives, they will toast a glass of wine, and if someone else arrives, they will take a group photo or something and show up and leave...

She is busier than Xu Xin.

Xu Xin at most plays in the village, or is dragged to a place by his childhood friends.

She is treated like a pure VIP by others.

From the afternoon of the first grade to the evening of the fifth grade... Xu Xin never woke up even if Yang Mi didn't mention it.

And on the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when Xu Xin had just finished his performance and was lying down to sleep, Cannes announced the list of shortlisted works.

He drank too much and didn't know anything.

But Yang Mi was woken up by a phone call from Sun Ting.

She was actually half drunk.

But fortunately it's not too much, and my mind is still clear.

"Hey, Tingting."

"Sister, the list has been announced. In the main competition section, "Breaking Silence" is the only Chinese-language film that has been shortlisted!"

Sun Ting's voice couldn't be said to be particularly excited.

After all, after so many years... Brother Xu has been filming one film after another, and she has become accustomed to it.

When Yang Mi heard this, her drunken mind suddenly sobered up:

"Shortlisted!?"

"Yes, I have been shortlisted. This time the event will start on May 14th. Do I want to start making arrangements?"

"arrange."

"OK, all right."

"Okay, I'll take a rest then. I drank too much and feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, sister."

Sun Ting hung up the phone directly.

Yang Mi turned to look at her husband and pushed him:

"Hey, you're shortlisted!"

"Um?"

Xu Xin opened his eyes in a daze, glanced at the blurry figure, and suddenly waved his hand...

"Change a batch."

"..."

Yang Mi's mouth twitched.

Grandma is a bit of a jerk, so she went to Goulan to listen to music, right?

I just asked you why you came back so late today.

Then, she noticed that he hadn't even changed his clothes and was still wearing jeans.

How can this work? !

I don't care if you check the bar and listen to the music.

It doesn't matter if I pull out other people's stockings outside.

But if you don’t change out of your outer clothes when you go home, that’s not okay!

So, without saying a word, she started to take off Xu Xin's clothes.

Xu Xin was actually unconscious at this moment, but when he noticed someone taking off his clothes, he covered his chest with his hands:

"Don't...don't...don't...I'm married..."

"..."

Yang Mi's hand movements paused.

I feel quite pleased.

I thought to myself, you little bitch has a conscience and knows that you are married.

But the problem is that you can’t wear outside clothes to bed even if you get married!

So, she continued to pick it up.

She didn't care at all that the LV sweater her husband was wearing was bought by me for more than 20,000 yuan. It was rough to even pull and pull it.

But the more she acted like this, the harder Xu Xin struggled.

"No...wife...where is my wife?...wife..."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes again.

But the corner of his mouth was completely smiling.

Not bad, very alert.

Because after she pulled off the sweater, Xu Xin had already pinched the waistband of her pants.

Oops, a manly little brother or something...

I like Oni-chan the most!

So, she started picking at her belt.

While picking, he said:

"Okay, stop the ink stains and take it off quickly."

Xu Xin's movements paused.

He seemed to realize that this was his wife, so he let go of his hand.

He lay down on the bed and muttered:

"daughter in law……"

"what?"

"Um!"

"..."

Yang Mi was stunned and covered her forehead helplessly.

I feel like I can't look directly at this sentence anymore.

While thinking about it, she took off her husband's pants, checked Xiao Sanjin's condition, and nodded with satisfaction.

Um.

sleep.
