Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Early the next morning, Yu Dongqing and her daughter went to the restaurant to have breakfast, then packed up their luggage and checked out. After exiting the hotel lobby, Yu Dongqing saw a white car with a "Mongolian K" sign parked outside. car.

Seeing Yu Dongqing and his daughter coming out, Zhang Shuchun and his wife quickly got out of the car to express their gratitude.

"Where is your child?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"In the car, I asked her to come down to greet you, but she didn't want to come down. I'm sorry, Mr. Yu." Zhang Shuchun apologized.

Yu Dongqing vaguely saw a person sitting in the car.

"It doesn't matter. The child can do whatever she likes. Don't force her." Yu Dongqing said, "Let's go."

The two families each got into their own cars, drove east along Houhai Road, turned onto Ring Road, and finally got on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway, heading south all the way to Qinghai.

Passed by Wuzhong and Baiyin, bypassed Lanzhou, rested twice in the service area on the way, and finally arrived in Xining around 5 p.m.

According to the advance reservation made online, the two families stayed at a Home Inn in the city.

Yu Dongqing usually doesn't stay in such budget hotels when he goes out, but considering the situation of Zhang Shuchun's family, he finally chose a cheaper chain hotel.

"Mr. Yu, how about we go shopping on Mojia Street later?" Zhang Shuchun suggested while checking in.

"Okay, let's take a rest and meet in the lobby in half an hour." Yu Dongqing agreed.

Mojia Street is one of the oldest streets in Xining, with a history of 600 years. In the eyes of today's Xining people and foreign tourists, Mojia Street is a Qinghai food concentration area.

There are all kinds of local specialty snacks such as stuffed skin, fried jelly, fried cakes, noodles and so on. Generally, you have to visit here when you come to Xining, and Yu Dongqing is no exception.

Half an hour later, Yu Dongqing took her daughter downstairs to the lobby. They waited and waited but Zhang Shuchun's family did not come down. Yu Dongqing was a little impatient and was about to call him, but saw Zhang Shuchun coming down alone.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu." Zhang Chunsheng said, "My daughter doesn't want to go."

"Why? Didn't we agree just now?" Yu Dongqing felt strange.

"She suffers from this disease and her mood changes very quickly." Zhang Chunsheng explained in a low voice: "How about you go shopping."

Yu Dongqing sighed slightly after hearing this.

"How about I go up and have a look?"

"well."

Yu Dongqing and her daughter went back upstairs and went to the room next to theirs on the fourth floor. When they pushed the door open, they saw the mother and daughter in the room. Zhang Leilei stood by the window and stared blankly outside, alone.

Yu Dongqing suddenly thought of the depressive song "Under the Sea" sung by a durian in that time and space, telling the story of a girl whose life fell into the sea.

And this girl is suffering from depression.

Yu Dongqing suddenly felt distressed. He didn't want the girl in front of him to experience what happened in the song.

However, he didn't know how to persuade children with depression. He couldn't use common sense to judge their actions.

It's useless to reason. Maybe she understands these principles better than you, but she just can't suppress her inner thoughts.

"What are you looking at?" Yu Dongqing asked softly after thinking about it.

"The sea." Zhang Leilei didn't even raise her head, looking indifferent.

But Yu Dongqing knew that there was no sea here, not even Qinghai Lake.

After thinking for a while, he said: "I recently wrote a song, do you want to listen to it?"

This sentence obviously aroused the girl's interest. She raised her head and looked at him: "Have you written a new song? A song about the sea?"

Yu Dongqing hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Shall we go out to eat first? Let's take a look around."

"Okay." Zhang Leilei agreed.

"Then you pack up, Tongtong and I are waiting for you downstairs."

"Sister, we are waiting for you below." Yu Tongtong agreed obediently.

Zhang Leilei looked at Yu Tongtong who was smiling again, and nodded slightly.

Yu Dongqing and her daughter walked out of the room, and Zhang Shuchun hurriedly followed him out, thanking him repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. Yu."

"Why are you being polite? Since we are here to play, we should be happy together." Yu Dongqing said.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Leilei and her mother went downstairs, and the two families drove into a car. Zhang Shuchun and his family sat in Yu Dongqing's car and drove towards the city.

Mojia Street is located in the center of XN, corresponding to Yinma Street. It was six o'clock in the evening when Yu Dongqing and others just passed by. It was very lively with people coming and going. After finally finding a parking place, the two families started shopping in high spirits. .

This place mainly sells snacks, which is as famous as Xi'an Huimin Street. Yu Tongtong is a snack person. She holds her father's hand and asks for this and that. Her little mouth never stops, and she keeps feeding Zhang Leilei.

Zhang Leilei seemed to be in a much better mood, and she even chatted and laughed with Yu Tongtong, completely unlike the taciturn look she had in the hotel just now.

Who could tell she was still a patient?

Both families had a great time and did not return to the hotel until 10:30 in the evening. When they saw the girl and Yu Tongtong talking and laughing but not talking about the new song, Yu Dongqing didn't mention it.

Early the next morning, the two families left Xining by car and went straight to Qinghai Lake.

The most beautiful part of the journey begins.

Riyue Mountain, Daotang River, Qinghai Lake, and Chaka Salt Lake. There are beautiful scenery along the way, especially the rapeseed flowers. When the rapeseed in other places has been harvested, the rapeseed flowers here are blooming all over the mountains and plains.

The world is full of fragrance, and the yellow flowers are blooming by the lake.

The blue sky and white clouds set off the azure lake water, golden rapeseed flowers are blooming, colorful wild flowers dot the green pastures by the lake, and countless herds of cattle, sheep and horses are like colorful pearls scattered all over the grassland.

The five elements of blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, green lake, and rapeseed flowers are perfectly combined before your eyes. It is so beautiful that you don’t need to use a professional camera. Just take a photo with an ordinary mobile phone and it will be a beautiful blockbuster.

However, Yu Dongqing still used the Canon digital SLR he brought.

In addition to shooting scenery, of course daughter Yu Tongtong is not allowed to be the protagonist of the shooting, and now there is Zhang Leilei.

However, Zhang Leilei doesn't like taking pictures very much. Although she was pulled by the enthusiastic Yu Tongtong to stand in the sea of ​​flowers or by the lake to take pictures, her resistance could be seen instinctively.

"Tongtong, if your sister Leilei doesn't like taking pictures, then don't ask her to take pictures again." After taking pictures at the Chaka Salt Lake that day, Yu Dongqing reminded her daughter in a low voice.

"Why doesn't Sister Leilei like to take pictures?" Yu Tongtong was a little puzzled, and suddenly realized: "Oh, Sister Leilei said she is not beautiful."

Not pretty?

Yu Dongqing took the camera and took another look at Zhang Leilei, who was looking at the blue lake. She was not particularly beautiful, but she looked very delicate.

By the way, how ugly can a girl in her prime of life, who is fourteen or fifteen years old, be?

It's just a psychological problem.

At this time, Zhang Leilei looked at the lake, not knowing what she thought of, with a smile on her face, and her hair flying in the breeze.

"etc."

Yu Dongqing quickly stopped her daughter's words and picked up the camera to take a picture of the girl.

There was a "click", and the girl's side face was frozen in the photo, showing a faint smile. At this time, the western sun shone on the girl's face, emitting a holy and happy light.

Yu Dongqing took the camera and looked at the frame and felt very satisfied.

"Dad, let me see." Yu Tongtong said curiously.

Yu Dongqing handed the camera to her daughter. The little girl looked at it and said, "Wow, Sister Leilei, so beautiful!" After saying that, she ran to Zhang Leilei with the camera.

"Sister Leilei, look at the photo my dad took of you, how beautiful it is!"

Zhang Leilei was dubious, took the camera and looked at it carefully, and suddenly felt a little incredible.

Is the girl in the photo really me?

so pretty?
