Early the next morning, when the family was sitting at the dining table having breakfast, Congee Congee's eyes were averted, and he kept leaning towards his grandma, refusing to look at or speak to Lu Beichuan, obviously still having lingering fears about what happened last night.
Lu's mother also glared at Lu Beichuan, the table was full of congee's favorite snacks.
Lu Beichuan took a look, took a bite of his chopsticks and put it down.
"Mom, don't give porridge too much sweets, it's bad for his teeth."
When Lu Beichuan said these words, Congee Congee closed his open mouth again, and refused to drink the sweet congee Lu's mother sent over.
Mother Lu gave Lu Beichuan a hard look.
Lu Beichuan turned a blind eye, and continued to say to Porridge: "Lu Zhifei, you have to learn to eat by yourself. Didn't Dad teach you?"
Congee glanced at Lu Beichuan, carefully picked up the spoon to scoop up the porridge in front of him, and refused to let Mother Lu feed it again.
With a click, tears rolled down into the porridge bowl in front of him.
Mother Lu put down her chopsticks and looked at Lu Beichuan with reproachful eyes.
Ye Zhen kicked him under the dining table and said in a low voice, "It's too much."
"Father, I'm sorry," Congee whispered to Lu Beichuan, "Congee will eat by himself in the future."
Ye Zhen and Mother Lu were both taken aback.
From weaning to now, Ye Zhen and Mother Lu feed all the porridge and porridge. If you don’t feed it, you don’t eat it. It’s a life of a young master who stretches out his hands to eat and opens his mouth. The whole villa runs behind porridge. Both Ye Zhen and Lu's mother felt that the child was still young, so there was nothing wrong with raising it like this.
But recently, she has become more and more pampered. She resists eating, throws a temper tantrum and refuses to eat when things don't go her way, and even seduces with toys, which makes Lu's mother quite a headache.
But now, a bowl of porridge that has been fed for most of the day has bottomed out in less than five minutes, and she still eats it obediently, Mother Lu is a little surprised.
Lu Beichuan nodded, didn't say much, looked at the time, got up and left home to go to the company.
After breakfast, Mother Lu sat alone in front of the sofa silently, Ye Zhen walked over and said with a smile: "Mom, what's the matter?"
Mother Lu sighed, and looked at Ye Zhen, "Zhen Zhen, tell me, am I doing something wrong for being so blindly used to porridge?"
"You... why do you think so?"
Ye Zhen knew that most of the elderly loved their grandsons, so she didn't say much when Lu's mother spoiled porridge.
"I reflected on it. What Beichuan did was right. You see that porridge is so obedient in the morning, and you eat obediently with a spoon. You don't know. You don't need to call him when you wake up in the morning. You can get up and get dressed by yourself, and you don't stay in bed. Don't make a fuss, in the past the child would have to delay getting up for half an hour..."
"Mom, isn't it a good thing that Congee Congee is sensible?"
"So I was thinking, is it because I spoiled my child too much before, should I also change the way of education, in case... if this child is spoiled by me..."
"No need," Ye Zhen persuaded, "You can bring porridge however you like. Regarding children's education, I, Beichuan, are with me. The children can't be crooked, so don't think about it. Look, you were so stupid last night. Protect him, didn't you behave well this morning? You can rest assured to pet him, it's okay. "
"You and Beichuan only have one child, Congee. In the future, everything in the Lu family will be handed over to Congee. If I raise him up as a playboy, what do you think I will..."
"Mom," Ye Zhen smiled, "What does Porridge know when he's only two years old? Don't worry, even if he wants to be a playboy, Beichuan won't allow it."
Mother Lu was silent for a while, then sighed, "So, after thinking about it, Mom still thinks..." She glanced at Ye Zhen and smiled, "Do you and Beichuan plan to have a second child?"
Ye Zhen froze for a moment, her face turned crimson.
The matter of porridge and porridge was well discussed, but suddenly it was transferred to her. Ye Zhen really couldn't be sure that Lu's mother's sudden idea of this matter was premeditated.
"Zhenzhen, Mom is just asking casually, it's up to you to decide if you want to."
Congee Congee didn't know where he came from, "Mom is going to give Congee Congee a younger sister?"
Ye Zhen hugged Congee on her lap, "Congee want a younger sister?"
Congee tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Your brother is fine too."
Ye Zhen laughed helplessly, "Then you tell mom, dad beat you last night, do you hate dad?"
Porridge pouts, but doesn't speak.
"Why don't you talk? Do you think you did something wrong?"
Congee nodded in a muffled voice, "Congee Congee doesn't hate Dad, it's Congee Congee's fault, Congee Congee shouldn't origami airplanes."
"No," Ye Zhen corrected him, "It's not that porridge shouldn't origami airplanes, but because those are important things for dad, you can't mess around with them, you know? If you want to play with paper airplanes, mom will play with you, but It is not your own thing, you must ask the owner of the thing before moving it, remember?"
Porridge nodded, "I remember."
Ye Zhen kissed him, "So cute!"
Congee lowered his head, and said in a small voice: "Mom, Congee did something wrong last night, will Dad dislike Congee?"
Mother Lu couldn't help but said: "Children, don't talk nonsense, why doesn't your father like you? Your father likes you the most."
Ye Zhen also touched his little head with a smile, "Yes, Dad has always liked congee, how could he not like you?"
"But... But last night, Dad looked so angry..."
"Then wait for Dad to come back that night, and then admit his mistake to Dad, so that he won't be angry, okay?"
Congee Congee looked at Ye Zhen with expectant eyes, "Then... will daddy like me again?"
"Porridge Porridge is so smart and cute, of course Dad has always liked you."
Hearing this answer, Porridge laughed with satisfaction.
After Lu Beichuan came back in the evening, Ye Zhen directly pulled him into the room and said what he had said about porridge today.
Ye Zhen reminded her again and again, "Go to Congee's room later, don't scare him."
Lu Beichuan took off his jacket and changed into home clothes, "Don't worry, I know how to measure."
After finishing speaking, Lu Beichuan entered Congee Congee's room. When Congee Congee saw Lu Beichuan coming in, he quickly got up from the bed, stood on the ground and lowered his head. Lu Beichuan didn't speak, and he didn't dare to speak.
Lu Beichuan picked him up and sat on the bed, Congee raised his head and glanced at him quietly, then quickly lowered his head, mustered up his courage, grabbed the corner of Lu Beichuan's clothes, and murmured, "I'm sorry Dad, I did something wrong yesterday. I shouldn't be playing with paper airplanes, Dad, can you forgive me?"
After hearing Ye Zhen's words, Lu Beichuan knew what Congee Congee was thinking, touched his little head, and said, "Actually, Dad also likes to play with paper airplanes."
Congee raised his head and stared at him with wide eyes, seemingly in disbelief.
Lu Beichuan held a stack of paper in his hand and placed it between the two of them, then took out a piece of paper and folded it into a beautiful paper airplane in front of Congee Congee.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Lu Beichuan handed a piece of paper to Congee Congee, "Congee Congee folded together with Dad, okay?"
Congee looked at the paper hesitantly, not daring to take it.
He is still young, and he has recognized the lesson he learned yesterday from origami airplanes, and he dare not touch it again, lest he will be taught the same lesson as yesterday.
Lu Beichuan was extremely patient, "Dad also wants to see the paper plane that Yu Yu folded, so you can also fold one and give it to Dad, okay?"
Congee Congee looked into Lu Beichuan's eyes, and said timidly, "But... But Dad, didn't you say that I am not allowed to make origami airplanes?"
Lu Beichuan showed both sides of the white paper to Congee Congee, "Look, there are no words on these two sides, right?"
Porridge nodded.
"Then you can fold it." Immediately, he put another piece of document paper in front of Congee, "But look, there are words on both sides, right?"
Congee nodded again.
"Then you can't make origami airplanes, you know?"
Congee glanced at the two pieces of paper, and finally realized, he grabbed the unwritten piece of paper, "This one has no writing, fold the plane!"
"Yes, there are no words." Lu Beichuan held his hands, and patiently taught him how to fold a beautiful paper airplane. "Look, this is made of porridge."
Looking at the beautiful paper airplane in front of him, Congee shouted, "Congee is amazing!"
"Well, porridge is very powerful, this paper airplane is very beautiful, can you give porridge to dad?"
Porridge Porridge generously handed the paper plane to Lu Beichuan, with a smile on his face, and swept away his previous caution, "Give it to Dad!"
Lu Beichuan took it.
Congee looked at Lu Beichuan cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Then...then dad will stop being angry, okay, and continue to like Congee, okay?"
Lu Beichuan held Congee Congee in his arms and kissed him on the forehead.
Congee Congee froze. His mother had kissed him, his grandma had kissed him, and his grandfather had kissed him, but it was his father who had never kissed him.
This is the intimacy he and Lu Beichuan have never had before, "Dad?"
"Dad has always liked porridge," Lu Beichuan said, "You are dad's son, and dad will always like porridge in the future."
Congee pursed his lips, hugging Lu Beichuan's neck and steadfastly, nodding with tears in his eyes, looking at him as if accusing, "Dad hurt from beating someone yesterday, Congee is red."
Lu Beichuan has always disliked children being too pampered, but looking at the porridge, he felt that Lu's mother was right, only two years old, there is nothing wrong with being pampered.
"Dad hit you yesterday, and Dad apologized to you, and I will never make porridge again, okay?"
"good!"
Lu Beichuan carried Congee to his room, and slept on Lu Beichuan all night, Ye Zhen was so angry that she couldn't help but slap Congee on the buttocks, and scolded Congee for being so heartless.
Of course, the paper airplane that Porridge Porridge gave to Lu Beichuan was also placed on Lu Beichuan's bookshelf and kept there.
***
In the blink of an eye, the cold winter passed, and he changed into light spring clothes. Congee Congee also celebrated his three-year-old birthday. He was carrying a schoolbag, carried by Ye Zhen and Mother Lu, and sent to the international kindergarten carefully selected by the whole family. .
Porridge has no concept of going to kindergarten at all. He only knows that there are many children his age in the kindergarten, and he can play with many children.
So, under the leadership of his mother and grandma, Xiong Jiu was held by the teacher and walked into the gate of the kindergarten. However, when he turned around, he saw his mother and grandma standing outside the gate of the kindergarten and refused to come in.
"Mom, grandma, come in!" Congee vigorously waved at them, but mother and grandma stood motionless outside the door.
He looked up at the teacher, puzzled, "Why don't mom and grandma come in?"
The teacher squatted down and looked at him, and explained: "Congee Congee, mom and grandma won't stay with you in the kindergarten, they will come to pick you up in the afternoon, and you will have to play with the children in the kindergarten until after school , did you know that there are many children in the kindergarten!"
Congee congee glanced at the bustling kindergarten, then at Ye Zhen and Mother Lu standing outside the gate of the kindergarten, holding small stones at their feet.
Seeing porridge like this, the teacher's heart hangs again.
Children who have just entered kindergarten always have to stage a birth and parting with their parents. In the first few days, it is particularly difficult to coax.
This teacher has brought a lot of children, so he naturally knows that children who grew up in a family like Congee Porridge are very delicate, and of course, they are also very difficult to coax.
Just as he was about to say a few more words of persuasion, laughter came from the distant teaching building. Congee's eyes lit up, he jumped, grabbed the teacher's hand and ran towards the teaching building impatiently, full of excitement, "Teacher, teacher , let's go!"
Ye Zhen and Mother Lu were standing outside the kindergarten door with teary eyes and refused to leave. This was the first day for Congee to come to the kindergarten and the first day for her to leave her family. I have thought about words of comfort later.
But where did he expect that before the tears were wiped away, he saw the little porridge holding the teacher's hand unscrupulously and running towards the teaching building, completely ignoring them who were standing outside the kindergarten.
Lu's mother laughed and scolded while wiping her tears: "This little one has no conscience!"
Ye Zhen couldn't help but laugh, this child...
However, Ye Zhen and Mother Lu felt relieved that Congee could actively integrate into a new environment.
March is over and it's April.
The premiere of Ye Zhen's first movie has also been put on the schedule. The whole company of Chaoxun Entertainment pays close attention to this matter. After all, this is the first shot of Lu's enterprise entering the entertainment industry. Can it be successful? Beautiful, all depends on box office and word of mouth.
Of course, the publicity for "The Great War" starring Shen Weiyin is also overwhelming.
The wonderful fighting scenes in the trailer, cool weapons and vehicles, and several suspenseful plots revealed all touched the hearts of the audience.
The moment they saw the trailer, many viewers were overwhelmed, and countless people were eagerly waiting for the release of the movie.
The invitation of the media to watch "The Great War" was a week before its release, and the media people who were invited to watch it made long comments and praised "The First World War" to the sky. He praised "The First World War" as the future of domestic films, whether it is the post-production technology or the overall 3D effect, it is second to none.
According to the words of those media people, the special effects of movies are about to catch up with Hollywood.
Countless media people have said this, and the audience's expectations for the movie have been raised to a higher level.
However, the media viewing of "The Bank of the Qinhuai River" was only four days before its release. After watching it, the invited media people kept silent, neither praised nor belittled, as if there was no such thing as media viewing.
Such a strange phenomenon naturally caused many people to stir up trouble, secretly satirizing that the movie "By the Qinhuai River" is so bad that even the media people are unwilling to mention it, and appealed to everyone not to waste money by buying tickets.
Many people agreed.
On April 29th, "The Qinhuai Riverside" and "The Great War" were released simultaneously.
Naturally, due to the early stage publicity and fans' expectations of "The Great War", the first day of the film's release, the midnight stalls were packed, and many netizens live-streamed the screening of the film on Weibo, causing many people to stay on Weibo.
Compared with "The First World War", the box office of "The Qinhuai Riverside" was much dismal. There were almost no people in the midnight slot, and many people bought tickets just to see how bad this movie was.
At the box office on the first day, "The Great War" broke through 100 million.
"The Bank of the Qinhuai River" five million.
The box office of the movie, which has been released for more than a week, is enough to crush "The Qinhuai Riverside".
Director Ning Yang knew the same time as the first day's box office, so he called Ye Zhen, choked up and expressed his apologies for Lu's investment and cultivation.
But Ye Zhen flipped through Weibo and said with a smile: "Director Ning, don't worry, just read Weibo before we talk."
Ning Yang was slightly taken aback, and opened Weibo in a blink of an eye.
Compared with the diametrically opposite movie box office, netizens' word-of-mouth is almost the diametrically opposite attitude to the box office.
Many fans who watched the movie "The First World War" cursed the bad movie, saying that the essence of the whole movie is concentrated in the trailer, the whole movie is incomprehensible, the acting skills of the supporting actors are touching, and the director's fame is all ruined by this movie on.
There are also many netizens who angrily scolded those film critics who praised the movie so much after watching the movie, saying that they charged money to do things, closed their eyes and let them waste their time and ticket money.
How much I looked forward to, how disappointed I am now.
However, at the same time, some film reviews about "On the Qinhuai River" also appeared on the Internet.
Many fans who wanted to see how bad it really is have spoken out, saying that they used up two packs of tissues in the theater, and apologized for the malice they expressed to the movie "Qinhuai Riverside".
Many film critics who were invited to watch it released their film reviews, explaining why they didn't write film reviews immediately.
"The movie review was written within 30 minutes after I finished watching the movie, but because the producer Ms. Ye insisted that we keep silent before the release, so I never published it. It has been four days since I watched the movie. I still can't calm down in my heart, I really can't believe that such a film is made by a young director and young producer, I am very grateful to them for presenting such a work to everyone, thank you."
With the emergence of bad reviews for "The Great War", "By the Qinhuai River" received constant praise, gradually filling the pages.
Many people thought that these good reviews were nothing more than Ye Zhen's trolls, and dismissed them. Some people walked into the theater with suspicion, and then the box office got out of control.
