Chapter 198: Give her a lesson, then laugh at her for the rest of her life (Please subscribe!)
"Old Xu, do you want a wife? Just say the word, and I'll bring her to you in a bit."

"Such a kind person suddenly entered my life, and it felt like the day I had been waiting for for many years had finally arrived."

"After being gone for ten days or so, even the horses were homesick, but the people weren't."

"Sometimes emotions are the foundation of beliefs. This is the land where my sweat has soaked, this is my family and friends who have shared hardships, this is my wife who has supported me through thick and thin, this is the root of my life..."

"Mom, why are you crying?"

Ok?
This is not movie sound.

It looks like her daughter's.

Chen Fusheng turned around and, sure enough, saw his wife secretly wiping away tears.

"Mom isn't crying, Mom is moved, moved by the love story of Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi."

"Should I cry when I'm moved?"

Faced with his daughter's question, the father, holding her, replied, "Crying doesn't necessarily mean you're sad. The reason Mom cried is because her heart is filled with so many beautiful things. It's like a cup filled with water; if you fill it too much, it will overflow. Tears are the same."

"I don't understand!" Chen Qian turned to look at her father.

"It's okay, you'll understand when you grow up."

The movie had already ended. Chen Fusheng handed his daughter's handkerchief to his wife and whispered, "I didn't expect you to be so sentimental, wife."

“But Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi’s relationship is really touching, don’t you think?” Liu Xiaoli asked rhetorically.

"It's alright, but I'm a director, and I'm used to watching a movie from a director's perspective, so even the most touching movies are hard to move me."

Sister-in-law Liu Xiaowei joined the conversation: "Then, brother-in-law, wouldn't you miss out on a lot of fun when you're watching a movie?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. It's because I've seen so much of it that my threshold for excitement has naturally increased."

Liu Xiaowei nodded as if suddenly realizing something, then smiled slyly as if she remembered something: "By the way, it seems that none of the many stories you've written, brother-in-law, are about love."

Chen Fusheng realized that his sister-in-law had set a trap for him, but he didn't take the bait at all: "Who says there is no love? Isn't Niu Er's unrequited love for the widow Jiu'er in 'Cow' love? Isn't the love between Chen Mo and Su Manqing in 'The Tuner' love? Shi Hongzhe's silent protection of Chen Jing and her daughter in 'The Devotion of Suspect X' can also be regarded as a kind of love."

"Brother-in-law, you're using a fallacy. I was talking about a romance film like 'The Herdsman,' or a romance novel."

Seeing his wife looking at him with curiosity, Chen Fusheng had no choice but to try a different approach to continue his deception. Ugh, I mean, he honestly said, "The main thing is, art imitates life. My relationship with your sister has always been happy, so the love stories I write will definitely be sweet and romantic. What's the point of that, right?"

"How can it be boring? I want to see it." If Liu Xiaowei was just stirring things up before, she was now genuinely looking forward to it.

And it wasn't just her; Liu Xiaoli herself, and even her mother Yang Hongmei, were also intrigued.

"Love stories are supposed to be as sweet as possible, so since you say that, son, I can't help but urge you to finish the manuscript."

"..."

Chen Fusheng: Oh my god, it seems like I've still jumped into the trap my sister-in-law dug.

At this moment, Liu Xiaowei used Chen Qian's mouth to add the final touch.

"Sissi, would you like to see your dad create a sweet love story?"

"think."

Chen Fusheng looked at his quirky sister-in-law Liu Xiaowei and suddenly asked out of the blue, "Xiaowei, when you were watching 'The Herdsman' just now, did you cry as much as your sister did?"

"No."

Liu Xiaowei said confidently, "Although I haven't seen as many films as you, brother-in-law, I've always been quite sensitive to tears. From childhood to adulthood, I've rarely been moved to tears by watching art. Even when I watched your 'Hachiko' last time, I didn't shed a single tear."

"Okay, I'll let you experience it later."

"Really, brother-in-law? It's a love story?"

"no problem."

Chen Fusheng readily agreed.

He had to teach this quirky sister-in-law a lesson.

Make her pay the price for digging her own grave today, and then laugh at her for the rest of her life.

As for the secret weapon he planned to use to deal with his sister-in-law, it was of course the very sweet and heartwarming movie "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

If my sister-in-law can withstand the magical attacks of this work, then...

Even if she's amazing!
"Brother-in-law, when will I be able to see your love story?"

"I'll do it during winter break. I'm going to be filming a movie soon, so I won't have time to create."

"Okay, hook up."

Chen Fusheng looked at the little finger his sister-in-law was offering and felt that doing this in front of his wife was a bit ambiguous. Fortunately, he had a bright idea and had his daughter make a pinky promise with her sister-in-law on his behalf.

Liu Xiaoli was quite satisfied with her husband's wit, but felt that their behavior was a bit childish.

Well, to be honest, she was also quite curious about the love story her husband was preparing to write.

After watching the movie, they strolled around the nearest shopping mall. It was too hot, and they also had a baby at home who was still nursing. So, even though it was only noon, they took the cake and headed home.

Upon returning, they discovered that besides Old Chen, who stayed behind to take care of the child, Zhou Wenqiong had also returned from the film set, along with Ling Zi, Zhu Lin, Gong Xue, and Cheng Long, who was visiting for the first time. Han Sanping, Chen Qian's godfather, was also there.

"Oh, you guys are finally back! We were about to go out and look for you if you hadn't come soon," Lingzi joked first.

"Who knew you guys would come 'sneaking in' like this? I didn't even prepare any snacks to go with your drinks," Chen Fusheng joked, then gave Chenglong, who was visiting his home for the first time, an extra welcome.

Wow! Director Chen, your daughter is so beautiful!

"Sissi, this is Chenglong, you can call him... Uncle Long."

"Uncle Long."

"Oh, so cute."

Chenglong realized he really liked this little kid.

So much so that they all hope their girlfriends are carrying a girl.

I hope they'll grow up to be just as cute.

He wanted to hug Chen Qian again.

Although the little guy has grown up a bit and is not so afraid of people anymore, he still resists being hugged by people who are not close to him.

Chenglong expressed some regret about this.

Next, these uncles and aunts gave Chen Qian a bunch of gifts, but while the little girl received many gifts, she still missed the gift her father hadn't given her yesterday the most.

Chen Fusheng also saw through his daughter's thoughts, so he put the cassette tape into the tape recorder and pressed the power button.

Before long, a familiar voice drifted through the courtyard.

"baby"

"what"

"Dad is like the sun shining on Mom"

"And what about Mom?"

"Mom is like green leaves supporting a red flower."

What about me?

You sprouted like a seed.

"Oh, I understand."

"We are a family that brings good fortune and happiness!"

After listening to the whole song, Chen Qian looked at her father in surprise: "How come it's my voice?"

"Because it was you who sang it, my dear. We recorded the song at Uncle Wang's recording studio last week, don't you remember?"

"Oh~"

"Does it sound good, baby?"

"It sounds good."

Do you like the birthday present your parents gave you?

"I like it, thank you Dad."

"Aren't you going to thank me, Mom?"

"thanks Mom."

"You're welcome, my dear. Happy birthday! May you have peace and happiness every year, and always be Mommy and Daddy's little princess."

Chen Qian, being very sensible, ran over and kissed her mother, then ran back and kissed her father.

Then, I spent the whole afternoon listening to this song on repeat in front of the tape recorder.

During dinner, Han Sanping asked:

When will your movie start filming?

"Next Mon."

"That's only a few days away."

"Hmm, three more days. By the way, how far have you gotten with filming 'Hachiko'?"

"We've filmed half of it."

"Only halfway through filming? Your progress is way too slow!"

"..."
