A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1096: A Pear Tree Overshadows a Begonia! (Please Subscribe!)

After things were settled, director Yang Jie prepared for the filming in Beijing, while Hua Shier and He Qing took Qiao Simei back to Jinling. They would come to Beijing for filming during the summer vacation after Simei took the entrance examination.

Qiao Zurong from Hong Kong Island quickly sent someone to deliver 6 million Hong Kong dollars to Director Yang Jie, along with members of the Yuan Clan who came to serve as martial arts instructors.

Not to mention how the crew in Beijing was preparing, after Hua Shier brought Qiao Simei back to Jinling, he asked her to focus on studying and prepare for the graduation exam. At the same time, he also took out an hour every day to teach his two girls the "family martial arts."

Well, the main reason is that Qiao Simei is going to play Nezha, so there will definitely be action scenes. Hua Shier is giving her some basic skills in advance, such as the Yue Family Spear, Yang Family Spear, Pear Blossom Spear, and Shuahua Spear. She is working hard silently so that she can amaze everyone when she appears on TV.

On May 1st, Labor Day, Hua Shier did a big thing. He went to He Qing's hometown specially, picked up He's father and mother, and then took He Qing to get the marriage certificate with He's household registration booklet.

This era is not like the later generations, where it's okay to be together for a few years and even sleep together to try out marriage. This era believes in "love that is not for the purpose of marriage is hooliganism". Hua Shier and He Qing have been in a relationship for a year, and they should at least give their family an explanation.

After receiving the certificate, Hua Shier set up more than ten tables in Shamao Lane, and many relatives and friends came to congratulate him.

When toasting, the former sister-in-law Wei Shufang wiped her tears and said:

"Brother-in-law, you have taken good care of the children. If you take one more step, it won't be unfair to my sister. If she knew, she would be happy for you!"

Hua Twelve is so upset. Why are you crying? I'm getting married.

He Qing held Wei Shufang's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry. I will treat all the children as well as my own."

Wei Shufang nodded repeatedly and was pulled back to sit by her husband Qi Zhiqiang and son Qi Weimin.

When toasting to the next table, Shi Weidong, the director of Fuli Factory, said with emotion:

"Old Joe, the best decision I've ever made in my life is to let you go. I've long seen that you are not someone you can just sit on. As expected, once you encounter wind and clouds, you will turn into a dragon and soar to the sky."

Hua Twelve laughed loudly: "Come on, forget it, you let me go, I wanted to leave on my own accord. You even wanted me to go to the cafeteria to ride a tricycle!"

When he said this, everyone around him burst into laughter. Shi Weidong, without thinking, smiled and told the people around him about how Hua Shier had gone to their house several times to hang himself on the beam, which made everyone laugh. They all said that it takes extraordinary people to do extraordinary things, otherwise how could he be so successful now.

Hua Twelve laughed along with him but curled his lips in his heart. You said this only because you succeeded. If he was still the same Qiao Jingsha from before, you would definitely say that he was a scoundrel.

He Qing laughed softly and said, "Old Qiao, you can still be so interesting!"

Hua Twelve blinked and whispered, "I have a lot of interesting things to do. I'll show you tonight!"

He Qing's face turned red and she pinched him hard. Then she looked around and saw that no one heard it, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Hua Twelve looked surprised: "I said I would teach you how to play Gobang. Do you dare to tell me what you are thinking?"

He Qing was speechless and hit him hard again.

Li Heman and a few of his buddies came over to toast. They had been friends playing cards together for many years, so today they all came to show their support. Hua Shier was also not vague and drank the glass of wine without even blushing.

After everyone else sat down, Li Heman came over and whispered, "Old Qiao, do you know what I regret the most?"

"what?"

"It's because I didn't take action against you earlier, so this little vixen succeeded!"

"Just roll over and pull it over!"

Hua Shier received Qiao Zuwang's memory and usually spoke Jinling Mandarin, but now he felt disgusted and even spoke Northeastern dialect. "I treat you as a poker partner, but you actually want to sleep with me!"

He didn't even think about who was responsible for Li Heman's situation.

What was unexpected was that Yicheng, Erqiang, Sanli, Simei and Qiqi, several other children, collectively changed their way of addressing He Qing and called her "Mom" at the wedding.

The three youngest, Sanli, Simei and Qiqi, are easy to understand. They have been played with by He Qing since they were young. The latter treats them as well as their biological mother would.

What Hua Shier didn't expect was that Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang also readily changed their words.

In fact, the two older ones felt true love from He Qing and felt the maternal love that they had been missing since childhood. If He Qing did anything bad to them, they would not be so happy and would just call her aunt at most.

It can be said that all of this was earned by He Qing using his sincerity to exchange sincerity for others.

He Qing was so moved that he took out the red envelopes he had prepared and gave each child one, one hundred yuan each.

Hua Twelve walked over with a smile and said, "Except for Yicheng, Erqiang, Sanli, Simei, and Qiqi, your father will help you collect them and return them to you when you go to college!"

Well, the money for going to college is directly included in the tuition, saving another 400 yuan. Teacher Yan’s teaching is good. The days are all calculated.

In the evening, Hua Shier asked Qiao Yicheng to take his younger brothers and sisters and He's father and mother to the small Western-style building on Jiangsu Road, where there were enough rooms and it was spacious enough. He and He Qing would stay in the old house to spend the night together.

In the bridal chamber, Hua Twelve thought that before doing anything, he should be romantic, recite a poem or something, be elegant and graceful, and immediately took He Qing's hand:

"The orioles are singing on the island in the river"

Before he could finish, He Qing continued with a smile: "A beautiful lady, marry an old man." After saying that, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Hua Twelve was speechless, but what the other person said was not wrong. Although he looked young, Qiao Zuwang's ID card actually stated that he was born in 1947. He was already a 36-year-old old man this year, while He Qing was just a young girl who had just turned 20.

He was no longer romantic because of his 'anger and shame', and he picked her up amid He Qing's screams:

"You're an old man, so be it. Then I'll let you experience what it's like to sleep together in a mandarin duck quilt, and to have a pear tree overshadow a crabapple tree."

This night, crabapple blossoms bloom in Shamao Lane!

After the wedding in Jinling, Hua Shier and He Qing followed He's parents back to He Qing's hometown, where they held another banquet to entertain He's family's relatives and friends.

Hua Shier also took out several properties in Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou as a betrothal gift.

The He family's two elders naturally didn't want it. In that era, people didn't like that. They told Hua Twelve righteously that they were marrying off the girl, not selling her.

Hua Shier sighed in his heart, this era is really good, marrying a fairy-like wife, and not even asking for a dowry. If it were in the future, those "little fairies" who looked like Zhu Bajie's second aunt would dare to ask for a dowry of 300,000 yuan, and there would be a fee for opening the door, getting on the bus, and changing the name. It's like 81 difficulties, and you have to pay to pass them. It's really more expensive than prostitution. And then if you meet a foreigner, hehe, you may have to pay for it for free, and it may be posted on the Internet by others. Bananas, stars, and crosses.

The two elders didn't want it, but Hua Twelve still forced the house deed over to them:

"Then you two elders should not think of this as a betrothal gift. These properties, the one in Shanghai is a small Western-style building, and the one in Suzhou and Hangzhou is a garden-style residence. They are all quiet and suitable for retirement. Just think of it as a gift from your son-in-law to you, and leave it to your grandchildren in the future!"

The two elders had not originally planned to accept it, but after hearing Hua Twelve's last words, they agreed, because Hua Twelve had a promise to them about having a second son with He Qing, whose surname was He.

By June, Qiao Simei had finished her exams and finally ended her elementary school career, which also meant the beginning of summer vacation.

Hua Shier brought his whole family to Beijing. He and Qiao Simei were going there to film a movie. Thinking that the children had never been to Beijing, he decided to take them all there for some fun.

I originally wanted to contact the He family's elders, but when I called them, they refused. Firstly, they had work to do, and secondly, they had already planned to live in Shanghai for a while when they had some free time in a couple of days. Those houses need to be occupied regularly to keep them lively.

Back in Beijing, the contract was signed, the funds were in place, and the personnel were ready. As soon as Qiao Simei arrived, they immediately began filming Nezha's scenes.

In the script directed by Yang Jie, Nezha appears in two stories, "Havoc in Heaven" and "Bottomless Pit". One advantage of these two stories is that they do not require location shooting in other provinces or cities. "Havoc in Heaven" can be filmed in a studio, and "Bottomless Pit" can be filmed in a forest outside Beijing.

But after taking the photo, Hua Twelve discovered a problem:

"Director Yang, please don't tell me that we only have this one camera?"

When there is only one camera, it is impossible to shoot from multiple angles at the same time. Often after the actor is shot from the front, he or she has to change to other angles and repeat the action.

For example, when the Monkey King, played by Mr. Xiaoliu, was causing trouble in Heaven, he had to somersault five or six times to pass. If the director was not satisfied, he would feel dizzy just from this one shot.

This is really inefficient.

Yang Jie listened to Hua Twelve's question and said with a wry smile:

"I'm not complaining to you about being poor, but this is how poor we are. I only have this one camera, and it's second-hand!"

Hua Twelve is speechless. They received several million Hong Kong dollars, but they don’t know where they were spent. They should have used more than a few machines.

However, he also knew that this was a complicated matter and that Director Yang Jie, a little old lady, could not make the decision. He immediately said:

"Then let me donate a few cameras to our crew. I'll have them shipped over from Hong Kong Island later. But let's make it clear that the cameras I donate can only be used by our crew first. Only after the filming of Journey to the West is finished will the ownership be completely transferred to your station!"

Yang Jie was very excited. "Teacher Qiao, thank you so much. On behalf of everyone in our crew, I want to thank you!"

Upon hearing that Hua Twelve was going to donate a camera, Yang Jie stopped shooting for the time being in pursuit of perfection. He decided to wait until the camera arrived before shooting together to avoid inconsistent results. This was also a disguised way of urging Hua Twelve to get the camera as soon as possible.

Although Hua Twelve could get the machine directly here through the portal, he would not be able to hide it from the eyes of those who were interested, and some things could not be explained clearly. He still had to go through the formal channels, make a phone call, and ask his clone to airlift the machine here.

During the break, Director Yang Jie planned to have Qiao Simei receive some action training to avoid any problems during filming.

Hua Twelve laughed: "Four beauties, let me show you some tricks for Aunt Yang!"

Qiao Simei took the prop of the Fire Spear and started to demonstrate his spear skills, showing all the highlights of various spear techniques. Not to mention Yang Jie, even the martial artists from the Yuan Clan in Hong Kong were stunned. They had heard that the Qiao family was the descendants of the great hero Qiao Feng, and now they saw that it was indeed true.

Qiao Feng: What are you talking about? How come I don’t know!

Qiao Simei passed the test directly without any training. Everyone on the scene turned their attention to Hua Twelve. You have to know that he played the role of Erlang Zhenjun, and he had several fighting scenes with Teacher Xiaoliu in the play.

Hua Twelve saw that everyone was looking at him, and he understood what they were thinking, so he laughed:

"Then use the props. I'll stretch my muscles too!"

The props prepared for Erlang Shen were naturally the three-pointed, double-edged sword. Hua Shier had never used this weapon before, but he was proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons. Among the long weapons, he could use spears, painted halberds, and horse lances, so it was not difficult for him to use this one.

The crew prepared two three-pointed, double-edged swords. One was used for close-up shots and was made entirely of metal, weighing 23 pounds. The other was made of wood and had a layer of lacquered leather on the surface.

Hua Shier directly picked up the metal one and danced with it. It was still too light, but with caution, he could still use it.

Why should we be so careful? Because if we use more force during the drill, this thing will break directly.

Hua Shier performed a show of his three-pointed, two-edged sword on the spot. Different from Qiao Simei's fancy show of using the spear, he used the three-pointed, two-edged sword not only beautifully, but also with great power and aura. The people around him were influenced by his majestic aura and subconsciously kept retreating.

Finally, Hua Twelve was practicing to the point of being excited, and he used the move "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun", and the three-pointed, double-edged sword flew out, directly cutting off a tree in the yard of the TV station that was so thick that it took two people to hug it.

The scene was completely silent until applause broke out after a while, especially from the martial arts actors present, who all looked excited and cheered.

Teacher Xiaoliu's legs were shaking, and she went over to discuss with Director Yang Jie: "The director should be replaced by someone else. I'm afraid he will beat me to death."

Director Yang Jie ignored him and said to Hua Twelve: "This tree..."

Hua Twelve understood: "I'll pay!"

Director Yang Jie: “That’s fine!”

Teacher Xiaoliu: “.” So I am not as good as a tree?

Since Hua Shier and Qiao Simei did not need any training, he had plenty of time before the cameras were transported to Beijing, so he took his family to tour Beijing.

He had lived in this city for hundreds of years in other worlds and different eras. Hua Shier acted as a guide to introduce the scenery along the way, various buildings, and allusions to everyone. He knew them all by heart.

Especially when he arrived at the Forbidden City, Hua Shier was able to talk about some areas that had not been opened to the public, which shocked the staff of the Palace Museum who were listening and praised him for his extensive knowledge.

He Qing said with a smile: "Why do I feel that you are more like a person from Beijing?"

After the equipment from Hong Kong was delivered, the crew restarted filming. This time they were divided into two groups, each with three equipment shooting simultaneously at an incredibly fast speed.

Qiao Simei seemed to have a natural talent as an actor. He performed all the scenes in one take and soon finished filming Nezha's scenes. When it was Hua Shier's turn to film the scenes of Erlang Zhenjun, he was a little stuck. When he was performing, either his expressions were too exaggerated or his acting style was too operatic, as if he was singing on the stage. In short, he was not in good shape.

In the end, Director Yang Jie had no choice but to let the crew take a day off so that he could get back into shape.

Hua Twelve had no other choice, and finally came up with a crooked idea. If he couldn't play the role well, why not ask a god to take over and let the ancestor play himself? Even if he couldn't ask for a real god, he could ask for some of the ancestor's divine power, and he could feel it, which would be helpful for him to play the ancestor.
