As soon as Director He's invitation came, Chu Xiaoyi said it was false to be unmoved, especially when his colleagues persuaded him euphemistically, implying that he could postpone the time to study abroad. Although he understood the thoughts of the people around him, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, as if there was a breath in his chest.
Inside the Yurong Terrace, the family soon learned the news, and even Xiao Bi had heard of Director He's name. Xiao Bi thought thoughtfully: "Director He Xiangqi, that's really amazing, your grandfather likes his movies..."
Chu Jiadong's knowledge of Director He came from the news, and he asked curiously, "Did he beat any company?"
Chu Xiaoyi showed hesitation and whispered: "It can't be said that it collapsed, it's just that the time dragged on for too long, and the company naturally collapsed..."
Chu Xiaoyi believes that the outside world said that Director He was not rigorous enough to shoot down the company, and the other party just filmed it too slowly, and he was stunned to bring down the company alive. It was not that Director He spent the company's money, but the company itself was poorly operated. However, everyone likes exaggerated gimmicks, and they all call it the pot of Director He's film. In fact, the company was originally engaged in industry, and film and television is a test of water.
Chu Xiaoxiao did not understand the topics of the adults at all. She had not seen Director He's movies, nor did she understand the company's affairs, so she quietly ate the food, listened with her small ears secretly, and absorbed strange knowledge.
Chu Jiadong: "Then this is a good opportunity!"
Chu Xiaoyi pondered for a few seconds, then confessed: "But the time limit in the contract is very long, which may delay studying abroad..."
"Hey, but I don't even have an offer right now. It doesn't seem to make sense to say this." Chu Xiaoyi smiled bitterly. He was just embarrassed about it. Even if he wanted to reject Director He, he had to give a reasonable explanation. The matter of studying abroad has not been finalized yet.
Xiao Bi was stunned when she saw the distressed eldest son, she silently looked at her husband opposite, and exchanged glances with Chu Jiadong. Chu Jiadong opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to say something, but he didn't make a sound for a long time, and finally closed his mouth in embarrassment.
The adults fell silent, but Chu Xiaoxiao stood up. She reached out to hold the long-handled spoon, and her movements seemed a little laborious.
Seeing this, Chu Xiaoyi stepped out of his troubles, grabbed her small dangling paw, raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you doing?"
Chu Xiaoxiao: "I want to drink soup."
Chu Xiaoyi: "Give me the bowl, I'll serve it for you, but it's really a little ancestor. When you make soup so far away, it will spill everywhere in a while..."
Chu Xiaoxiao pouted, she wanted to argue that she would not spill it, but the cheap brother's service was in place, and the chicken soup was delicious and mellow, so she didn't say anything to fight back, reluctantly tolerated his slander, and obediently bowed her head to drink the soup.
After the meal, the family rested for a while, Chu Xiaoxiao went back to the house to do their homework, and Xiao Bi went to the study to prepare lessons. There were only two big men left in the living room. Chu Jiadong watched TV one after another, while Chu Xiaoyi was fascinated by the news on his mobile phone. He still didn't know how to respond to the movie.
"Xiao Yi, do you want to study first, or film first?" Chu Jiadong noticed his son's uncertainty. He had difficulty opening his mouth at the dinner table, but now he was finally able to speak.
Chu Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment. He looked up and saw that his father was still staring at the TV, not looking at himself. The answer that had been firm and firm in his heart was now somewhat erratic, and he simply said softly, "I don't know..."
Liang Shuangqi can resolutely choose one of the two, because he already holds the school invitation, but Chu Xiaoyi does not have a school yet, and studying abroad cannot even constitute an option. The colleges and universities have not replied yet, but Director He has already issued an invitation, and the two are not comparable.
In fact, Chu Xiaoyi didn't want to show an unreliable appearance in front of his father. He always hoped that the other party could see his good side, but maybe it was the sense of life after dinner that made him relax. Speak your mind.
The host on the TV was still broadcasting the news, and there was a faint voice of English coming from the sister's room next door. The father and son were peacefully leaning on the sofa in the living room. So much so that Chu Xiaoyi also relieved the tension.
Chu Jiadong heard his son's unintentional answer, but instead of blaming him, he murmured, "Really..."
"If it had been ten years ago, I would have escorted you to study." Chu Jiadong recalled the past and smiled helplessly.
Chu Xiaoyi was also amused and couldn't help joking: "Yes, if I didn't agree right away, I'd be angry with you..."
Chu Jiadong sighed after hearing the words, and he rubbed his hands embarrassedly, as if he also remembered his previous attitude, and was a little embarrassed.
Chu Xiaoyi said, "But I had a bad temper at that time. I knew what you didn't like to hear, so I deliberately wanted to say something."
Chu Xiaoyi was also rebellious at that time. He felt that contradicting his father was the most powerful thing in the world. He seemed to be able to find strength through this, but now it is quite naive to think about it. He just wanted to provoke his father into anger so that he could taste the victory of resistance.
Chu Jiadong did not expect his son to be so pertinent. The father and son talked about the old things calmly. The friction and tearing that used to be bloody turned into small talk after dinner. He was so excited and violent that he could even drink two sips of hot water while chatting.
Chu Jiadong: "Yes, we are all quite different."
Chu Xiaoyi moved out of his father's mantra: "But the better the days go by?"
Chu Jiadong laughed when he heard the words, and he completely relaxed, showing a nostalgic look: "Actually, I should have told you something else at the time, but many things were not clear at that moment..."
"Xiao Yi, although you are already very powerful and successful now, and it is estimated that you can go further than me in the future, you may no longer need to listen to these words, but I still want to say it..." Chu Jiadong said calmly, "regardless of you Choose to study or work, what choice you make in the future, and finally success or failure, you can still come home, and as long as you still need me, you can come home to find me.”
"I didn't have time to say this ten years ago, and maybe it's not too late now. Although my father is old, as long as you come back, I will try my best to help you find out..."
"So don't worry too much and do what you really want to do."
Chu Jiadong hadn't figured out this section ten years ago, and he didn't have the ability to say it at that time, but the passage of time is so wonderful, he and his son are no longer the same as they were in the past, and they both have a new perspective on life. The experience, the new interpretation, become more and more mature.
Chu Jiadong has never been an expressive father. Just like the name given to him by his grandfather, he is a big man who builds houses and supports the family. This is a silent and stable existence. He is not good at dealing with delicate emotions, and will only shelter his family from wind and rain.
Chu Xiaoyi couldn't understand it in the past, but now he can understand that this is no less than the heaviest commitment to Chu Jiadong, who has been running around for a living for the first half of his life.
My father never said anything about dreaming or not dreaming. This is something that their generation did not dare to think about. They often think about living a good life. This is their dream.
It's not that Chu Jiadong didn't want to say this ten years ago, but he couldn't say it. He can say it now, but it's not too late. At that time, he wasn't sure if he could help his son, but now his ability has been reached, but he doesn't know if his son still needs it.
Chu Xiaoyi was finally relieved, he felt deeply powerless at that time, but his father was not like that, they all harbored doubts about themselves.
Chu Xiaoyi couldn't describe the tumbling emotions in his chest. He was silent for a few seconds, and then he teased in a relaxed tone: "Of course it's not too late, others must be envious of me, and if I fail in the dream show business, I can still eat old..."
Chu Jiadong smiled: "As long as you don't think it tastes bad."
"How come..." Chu Xiaoyi lowered his eyes slightly, and he whispered again, "Dad, thank you, really thank you."
Thank you for being my father.
Chu Jiadong was stunned when he heard the words. Seeing his eldest son's bright eyes and serious attitude, he didn't know what to say for a while, but his eyes slowly turned red. He reached out and turned off the TV, stood up covertly, and replied, "It's okay, you should rest early too."
After Chu Jiadong left, Chu Xiaoyi thought alone on the sofa for a long time. He kept thinking about the past, leaned on the back of the sofa, and even let Chu Xiaoxiao, who came out to pour water, mistakenly think that his brother was dead.
Chu Xiaoxiao was holding her own mug, she carefully reached out to probe his breath, and found that the cheap brother was still angry, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered: "What the hell are you doing?"
Chu Xiaoxiao: I thought you were playing a dead person.
Chu Xiaoyi said deeply: "I am reflecting on my life, weighing the pros and cons of the future, and want to make a decision."
Chu Xiaoxiao blinked and said frankly: "Why do you always do things that you are not good at? You are not good at analyzing and summarizing yourself, and you do not have the research ability of Liu Wenpei."
Chu Xiaoyi was still struggling with how to choose, but at this time he asked incredulously, "I'm not good at analyzing and summarizing myself?"
Chu Xiaoxiao nodded calmly, she felt that she was right.
Chu Xiaoyi asked angrily and funny: "I can't analyze myself, who can analyze me!?"
Chu Xiaoxiao held his head high, and said confidently: "I'm not talented, it's just that, I have been studying the magical creature Chu Xiaoyi for many years, and now I'm a leader in the related field."
Chu Xiaoyi: "???"
After talking with his father, Chu Xiaoyi had to make a choice alone, but the appearance of his sister interrupted his swaying. The brothers and sisters suddenly held a briefing in the living room, in-depth exchange of the characteristics of "Classmate Y", and held a small discussion meeting.
Chu Xiaoxiao still put out the slideshow in a proper manner. She looked quite professional. She said in a reasonable manner: "Today I will share my private information for you. I haven't used it in the last special report..."
Chu Xiaoyi: "...Thank you, that's my profile."
Chu Xiaoyi never imagined that he would face such an academic battle one day. Someone actually said that he knew Chu Xiaoyi better than Chu Xiaoyi, and studied more thoroughly than Chu Xiaoyi himself!
Chu Xiaoyi: You think that you are a teacher of Chinese reading, and you can understand the article better than the author himself!
Chu Xiaoyi watched her take out the familiar cowhide file, and said in surprise: "How can this be returned to you?"
Chu Xiaoxiao: "Uncle He Xin returned it to me, saying that he accidentally took it wrong, and he specially apologized to me."
Chu Xiaoyi: "?" He now seriously doubts the team's loyalty
Chu Xiaoxiao played the slideshow and said solemnly: "Classmate Y is a kind of magical creature. He is sensitive by nature and prone to mood swings. Although his memory and logical reasoning skills are not good, he is not focused enough in learning, and is occasionally hypocritical. Vanity, but through other characteristics of its own, it also finds a balance to survive... "
Chu Xiaoyi raised his fist to threaten, instead of anger he laughed: "Where do I have hypocrisy and vanity?" How can this be added
"The first time you saw me, you pretended to be smiling, you didn't speak Russian, you pretended to be garlic, gave me strange celery and sliced meat, and completely forgot your bad behavior." Chu Xiaoxiao said righteously, "This proves that your memory is not good enough. it is good!"
Chu Xiaoyi: "!!?" What kind of old rotten millet is this
Chu Xiaoyi exclaimed: "You are too capable of turning over old accounts!"
"However, 'Y student' is quite talented in hand-making and artistic creation. He has independently completed handwritten newspapers, weaving ropes, Christmas songs, Peppa dumplings and other works. He also learned to reflect in the making of memorial albums, and in English learning and rehabilitation. Effective, showing growth-oriented traits..." Chu Xiaoxiao said slowly, she was unable to understand many things at the moment, but she can see changes through data collection and filing, this is the spirit of science, she is serious about her brother!
Chu Xiaoyi had already planned to rub her madly, but she thought that she would change her words and talk about other things, and she froze in place for a while. She really spoke in a succinct manner, even remembering every bit of it clearly, and she could say why.
She remembered his initial attitude towards her, and she also remembered his gradual transformation of her, not forgetting all of it. Her memory is really good, whether it's a part-time job, Hollywood foreign language phone calls, a day trip to the zoo, ice cream when the Destin brothers and sisters travel together... She remembers them all clearly.
"To sum up, 'Y' is a creature who is not good at analyzing and generalizing himself, partly due to his poor memory, but he has been relying on his intuition and drive to survive, accomplishing many feats beyond his ability! "
Although Chu Xiaoxiao knows that Brother Cheap has occasional flaws, once he decides something, he will definitely go all out to complete it, just like shining on the stage!
Chu Xiaoxiao summed up loudly: "So you shouldn't weigh the pros and cons, you are not very good at analyzing things, you should decide in a way that you feel comfortable with."
Chu Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, he hesitated for a moment, and asked humbly: "Then what decision method is suitable for me?"
Chu Xiaoxiao took out a coin and said decisively, "Let's flip a coin."
Chu Xiaoyi was originally full of expectations, but at this time his eyes were dumbfounded: "?" Are you kidding me
"Anyway, it's studying abroad or filming. The head is studying abroad, and the tail is filming. The winner is determined in one round." After Chu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she threw the coin up, and the spinning coin shone in the air. back into her hands.
Chu Xiaoyi hurriedly said: "Wait! My life is so arbitrarily decided by you!?" Then what did you set up for me just now
Chu Xiaoxiao ignored his reaction, she had already caught the coin steadily, raised her hand gently to check, the coin was tails!
Chu Xiaoyi breathed for a moment, and he suddenly wanted to turn around: "Since we have to flip a coin, be a little more rigorous, we will win two of three games..."
Chu Xiaoxiao said ruthlessly: "No, just vote once."
Chu Xiaoyi: "No..."
Chu Xiaoxiao said earnestly: "Classmate Y is not good at analysis, and acts on his own feelings. Since you want to win two out of three games, you already have the answer."
Chu Xiaoyi looked at her with sincere eyes, but he was speechless and fell into silence for a while.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't know what Brother Cheap was thinking, and she didn't understand the impact of studying abroad or filming on his life. She only knew that "Classmate Y" was an emotional creature, and he would reveal his most instinctive desires under impulse. She felt that as long as the choice was in line with his wishes, once he completely determined something, he would have a stubbornness to complete it.
She didn't know why he subconsciously chose to study abroad instead of filming, but she knew that at that moment his subconscious played a role.
Chu Xiaoxiao shoved the coin into the dazed brother's hand, and she said proudly: "You lose, you just don't study as well as me, I'm better at analysis and induction than you."
Chu Xiaoyi came back to his senses, he suddenly couldn't keep up with the topic, and asked in doubt, "What?" He was still immersed in his own subconscious reaction.
Chu Xiaoxiao packed up her information, she took the cowhide file into her arms, and showed quite pride: "I am the person who knows the mysterious creature Chu Xiaoyi best, and I am the real leader in the field!"
Chu Xiaoyi: "!!?"
When Chu Xiaoyi looked up, she saw her sister's face full of joy. She wished to write "Chu Xiaoyi doesn't understand Chu Xiaoyi, what kind of Chu Xiaoyi research can he understand" on her little face. It was a little arrogant!
