Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 321 Two people with great personalities

Chu Xuan chatted with his uncle and Ankang for some time, during which Concubine Liu Yi interrupted from time to time.

Regarding the development of the bright era, Uncle and Ankang also expressed some constructive suggestions, which Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi readily accepted and took to heart.

Until noon, the delicacies are ready.

"It's time to eat!" Grandma shouted as she brought a plate of food to the table.

"Sissy, Xiaoxuan, eat." Ankang got up and said.

Chu Xuan, Concubine Liu Yi stood up with the uncle and the others, and headed towards the restaurant.

When Chu Xuan got up, Concubine Liu Yi held his hand, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable.

Chu Xuan looked down, and chatted with Uncle and Uncle An for an hour or two, and they were not so unfamiliar, but he still felt very warm when he felt the warmth of his palms.

Beside the round dining table, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi sat side by side.

The sister-in-law began to pour the wine, Chu Xuan looked at it, it was Jiangcheng's specialty liquor [Baiyunbian].

"Cissy have some drink?" the sister-in-law asked, holding the wine bottle in her hand.

Concubine Liu Yi didn't speak, she held the wine dispenser and handed it under the wine bottle with a pretty face.

The sister-in-law understood, took the wine bottle and poured wine for Concubine Liu Yi, and then sat down.

In the center of the round table is a hot pot. The hot pot is Lao Ya cooking dumplings. The clear yellow soup greatly increased everyone's appetite, but they didn't move their chopsticks or speak, waiting for grandpa's instructions.

Grandpa glanced at Chu Xuan, picked up the small wine glass and said, "Xiao Xuan is visiting our house for the first time. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and it is still the Spring Festival. Welcome everyone."

Uncle, Uncle An, Sister-in-law, Uncle, and several brothers and sisters who are the same age as Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi held their cups together and faced Chu Xuan.

Concubine Liu Yi did the same, raising her wine glass to Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan picked up the wine glass and said, "Grandma worked hard for a table of meals, grandma has worked hard; thank you grandpa, uncle, sister-in-law and uncle for your hospitality, thank you uncle for your hospitality, thank you brothers and sisters for your greetings."

With that said, Chu Xuan drank it all in one gulp.

After hearing Chu Xuan finished speaking, everyone poured wine into their mouths.

"Xiaoxuan, how do you feel when you come here for the first time?" Grandpa put down his glass and said with a peaceful face.

Hearing Grandpa's question, everyone looked at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said, "To be honest, I was a little scared at first, but uncle, sister-in-law and uncle are all approachable, and my nervous heart gradually relaxed."

Hearing this, the corners of everyone's mouths slightly raised.

"A big man should be calm and not surprised when things happen." The uncle said, eating with a mouthful of cabbage.

Chu Xuan nodded, looking like he was being taught.

Grandpa shot him a sideways look, and said, "Xiaoxuan came here as Sissi's boyfriend, can it be the same as usual? When you came to ask for a wife, you looked like a dog."

Concubine Liu Yi gave a sudden "puchi" and laughed with the elders.

Chu Xuan also found it interesting. Grandpa's generous personality is indeed very old, so he can say what he has.

The uncle was a little helpless, this kind of thing was often ridiculed by his father, although he had experienced a lot, it was still embarrassing.

From the corner of Chu Xuan's eyes, he watched his grandfather pour the wine, and glanced at him, so he respected him first.

After experiencing the family banquet at grandma's house yesterday, he felt that it was inappropriate to ask the elders to toast first.

"Grandpa, I respect you. You are in good health and have a harmonious family business." Chu Xuan said.

Grandpa wanted to have a drink with Chu Xuan. Seeing that Chu Xuan was the first to toast, he poured the wine and raised the glass, "Grandpa wishes you a bright future."

"Thank you grandpa." Chu Xuan drank it down with his grandpa.

Putting down the wine glass, Chu Xuan stretched out his hands to pick up vegetables. The disc on the round table could be turned, but he was a little embarrassed to turn it, so he just picked up a small portion of pea horns and mapo tofu in front of him.

Concubine Liu Yi was not so polite, she stretched out her hand and twisted the disc vigorously, and when she saw a plate of spicy chicken, she reached out and took a chicken leg for Chu Xuan, but she didn't think it was enough, so she took another chicken wing for Chu Xuan.

Seeing this scene, the elders didn't say much.

"Xiao..." Ankang suddenly said a word, originally wanted to call it "Xiaofeng", but thinking about his daughter's current real name, he changed his words: "Qiqian, you and Xiaoxuan are going to be actors all the time?"

Chu Xuan, who lowered his head to eat the vegetables, was stunned. This family is really different from grandma's. Grandma's family had some preludes before asking questions, but this family was straightforward.

Concubine Liu Yi took a bite of the food and said, "Yes, not only as an actor, I also study film production and directing with Chu Xuan, and I will also study film and television industrialization in the future."

Ankang remained silent, and took a bite of food on his own, while the other elders did not speak, obviously preparing to listen to Ankang's next words.

Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows and looked at her father. Seeing that her father hadn't spoken for a while, she lowered her head to eat the food again.

"Actually, I think..." Ankang said while eating the vegetables. When he finished eating the cabbage, he looked up at his daughter and said, "Xiaoxuan is very capable, and the company's development is also very good. You don't need to work so hard."

Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows, the chopsticks in her hand froze, she looked at her father and said, "Dad, don't you support me?"

Chu Xuan was still eating with his head down. Compared with the gentle treatment at his grandmother's house yesterday, today it can be said to be straight to the point.

There is also a difference, yesterday the object of questioning was him, but today it became Sissy.

Perhaps this is also the difference between the woman's family and the man's family.

Or maybe, as Qianqian said, his files have been investigated by Uncle An and his family, and there is nothing to ask, so they focus on their own daughter.

"It's not that Dad doesn't support you." Ankang said, then paused and said: "It's just that Dad thinks that you don't need to go through the right and wrong of the entertainment industry, and it might be better to live the life you want safely .”

"But what you said is not the life I want." Liu Yifei put her chopsticks on the bowl and said seriously: "My dream before was just to become a superstar like Audrey Hepburn. Now my dream is to Create our film and television business together with Chu Xuan."

Grandpa and grandma listened and picked up vegetables to eat.

The elders also listened, and raised their eyebrows to look at Chu Xuan, then at Qianqian.

The concept of their family is that the male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside.

They investigated Chu Xuan, he was innocent and capable all his life, and now he has a good career.

So, in their view, wouldn't it be better for Sissy to just enjoy it?
"Chu Xuan planned micro-entertainment at the age of 19, started micro-entertainment at the age of 20, and is now worth nearly one billion at the age of 21. Under such circumstances, it is rare for you to have such a relationship, but as far as I know, if Chu Xuan uses his company He will develop even better if he continues to study more resources," said the uncle.

Although he didn't finish his sentence, Concubine Liu Yi understood what Uncle meant, did she hold back Chu Xuan?With her current strength, is she not worthy of Chu Xuan?
"Uncle, I am willing to temporarily give up my career, because I think love can accompany me for the rest of my life, but career cannot." Chu Xuan said suddenly.

Although it was only a few words, he found that the machismo in Uncle An's family was very strong, so it was necessary for him to say a few words for Concubine Liu Yi.

They knew the relationship between him and Concubine Liu Yi, and outsiders' comments were just hearsay, so he didn't take it seriously.

Ankang and his uncle glanced at Chu Xuan, slightly surprised, but did not speak.

Grandparents and other elders listened, still silent.

Concubine Liu Yi originally felt a little depressed because of what her father and uncle said, but because of Chu Xuan's words, her heart was touched and sweet again.

However, her father's uncle's words aroused the injustice in her heart.

Concubine Liu Yi looked at her father and said, "Dad, what do you mean you want me to stay at home every day like my mother?"

Ankang opened his mouth, but did not speak, watching his daughter waiting for her next words.

"I won't mention the matter between you and your mother. Back then, I watched you quarrel and divorce, and saw my mother put a knife on my neck. Now I can vividly remember it." Concubine Liu Yi was very calm.

Ankang and uncle were taken aback, sister-in-law and uncle were silent, grandpa and grandma were also silent, and brothers and sisters sipped their meals for fear of making a noise.

Hearing this topic, the family chose to remain silent.

Chu Xuan glanced at Concubine Liu Yi, and he found that Concubine Liu Yi's mood seemed a little unstable.

Concubine Liu Yi had never touched her chopsticks since her father spoke. Now she was a little emotionally unstable and said to her father, "Dad, do you know what my mother told me?"

Ankang chewed the vegetables and looked up at his daughter.

"Mom said, if she agrees to your request to be a housewife, then she will be useless, then she will have no status in this family, then she will be completely reduced to a vase, then she will become a woman who can only be used A tool for falling in love." Concubine Liu Yi spoke out every single word her mother had instilled in her.

Ankang was stunned, and the rest of the elders were slightly taken aback, as if they were touched by this sentence.

Under Chu Xuan's dazed gaze, Concubine Liu Yi showed a stubborn look that had never been seen before: "Is she, Liu Xiaoli, just for dating?! Is Concubine Liu Yi just for dating?! You men We will show up when there is a need? We will disappear when you men don’t need it? Whoever loves to be such a vase! This kind of thing will never happen to me!!”

Ankang's face suddenly changed, the uncle and sisters-in-law were shocked, and the grandparents were also moved by Concubine Liu Yi's words.

Concubine Liu Yi was very wronged, tears could not stop dripping from the corners of her eyes, and fell again.

She knew that her father and uncle might be doing it for her own good, but the difference in concept not only aroused her resentment, but also aroused her resentment for her mother.

She couldn't help expressing her thoughts. She didn't know how her family members would feel when she said that, and she didn't know whether they would be unhappy, but she felt that she had to speak up for herself, and she also had to let her father This family knows her own pursuit and philosophy.

It was also the first time for her to speak so boldly. Perhaps because she was worried about her family's disapproval, her hands trembled slightly after she spoke.

Suddenly, a big warm hand wrapped around her hand that was propped up on the stool, and her heart felt warm.

Concubine Liu Yi turned her head to look at Chu Xuan, and shook Li Hua's rainy face, as if telling Chu Xuan that she was fine, so that Chu Xuan didn't have to worry.

Chu Xuan exhaled imperceptibly. Even though he knew Concubine Liu Yi very well, it was the first time he had heard Concubine Liu Yi's heartfelt voice just now. Such a girl with personality, pursuit and ideas made his heart suddenly rise. With a strong desire to protect, he couldn't help but open his hands and clasp his fingers tightly with her, and tighten his fingers to give her warmth.

At this moment, whether it is the grandparents, or Ankang and the uncle, they have a lot of feelings for Sissi who is only 18 years old but has such a concept when they say such words, and their hearts are shocked, and there are fluctuations for a while It's hard to calm down.

What did Liu Xiaoli teach Sissi?To make Sissy so strong?They didn't comment, but at this moment they looked at Sissy differently.

"Why are you crying? Dad said it wrong." Ankang couldn't stand his daughter's crying, so he quickly took out a tissue and handed it to her daughter.

"Cissy, your father is doing it for your own good. If you don't like it, don't take it to heart. Watch this child cry." Grandma said distressedly, and glared at Ankang.

"Uncle, you are an educator or a professor. I wonder if you have heard of Maslow's pyramid theory?"

Chu Xuan suddenly said something, which made Ankang slightly startled.

"But hear the details," he said.

Chu Xuan held Liu Yifei's hand tightly and said: "In the 40s, the American psychologist Abraham proposed this theory. He said that the first level of human needs are physiological needs and safety needs, and the second level of needs is a sense of belonging. The third level of needs is the need for mutual respect and mutual tolerance, and the fourth level of needs is the need for personal value and social value.”

Grandpa nodded thoughtfully, uncle gave Chu Xuan a meaningful look, Ankang was stunned for a moment, and then went back to serving food on his own.

"I think this theory is good. Sissy and I have been maintaining this state and moving towards our established development route," Chu Xuan said.

Concubine Liu Yi's left hand was held by Chu Xuan, so she could only wipe her tears with her right hand.

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Concubine Liu Yi showed her face slightly, and shook the hand held by Chu Xuan, signaling that she was fine.

Chu Xuan glanced at her, seeing the affirmation in Concubine Liu Yi's eyes, Chu Xuan let go of her hand and continued eating with Concubine Liu Yi.

"Xiaoxuan." Ankang called out.

"Hey, uncle." Chu Xuan responded, quickly finished the food in his mouth, and then looked up at Ankang.

"I have a doubt, why did you think of making a path for you and Sissy to advance together so early?" Ankang asked.

Chu Xuan put down his chopsticks, and said: "There are some reasons, but the reason is selfish. Sissi is an American citizen. According to the Marriage Law of China, to obtain a marriage certificate, the biological parents must bring the household registration book to the consulate and both parties will sign for confirmation. If I If you don't make good arrangements for Sissi and satisfy Aunt Liu and Uncle An, I won't be able to get married with Sissy."

Concubine Liu Yi lowered her head and looked at Chu Xuan with a smile.

"Little cunning." Grandma pointed at Chu Xuan with her chopsticks.

Grandpa, Ankang, and uncle all raised their mouths slightly.

That being said, Chu Xuan's frankness still made the whole family feel comfortable and satisfied.

"There's another reason." Chu Xuan said, "If Qianqian and I mess around like other couples in the entertainment circle, I'd probably be blocked if Grandpa gives the order."

Hearing this, everyone rejoiced.

"No, I have to do business. My students are all law-abiding, and they can't mess around." Grandpa said cheerfully.

"Sissy, are you really going to go down this road with Chu Xuan?" Ankang asked again. His daughter's stubborn words and Chu Xuan's explanations, including Maslow's theory, shook his mind a little. Heart.

Seeing his daughter and Chu Xuan singing together, based on his understanding of the archives, the two are indeed achieving each other.

Chu Xuan's respect for his daughter actually satisfied him.

It's just a concept that has been cultivated since childhood. Naturally, it is impossible for Chu Xuan and his daughter to break through it with a few words.

But seeing the firm attitude of Chu Xuan and his daughter, he couldn't help asking again.

Concubine Liu Yi took a bite of the dumplings, put down her chopsticks, and nodded firmly, "The world is wide open for women to be independent. I want to improve my entertainment career and ability in all aspects. What men can do, I can do too. Men What I can’t do, I will do, this is what I want to pursue.”

"Okay!" Grandpa shouted and raised his glass.

"Grandpa, I respect you." Concubine Liu Yi said happily after being recognized by her grandfather.

"I'll accompany one." Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi raised their wine glasses together.

After gulping down his drink, Grandpa put down his glass, looked at Grandma and Ankang and said, "You guys were wrong in handling Xiaoli's affairs back then. You actually put all the pressure on Xiaoli and messed around."

Grandpa looked at grandma again, and said, "Especially you, you are so strong, but let your daughter-in-law give up her career? What do you think?"

Being scolded by grandpa, grandma retorted: "At the beginning you were teaching in the military region, and you went there for a year. I didn't care about anything at home, and I called you and let me handle it. Xiaokang and Xiaoli got busy with their careers. I don’t go home for half a month, and I’m also doing it for Qianqian’s good, so I have to let someone go home to take care of the child, right? Blame me?”

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi bowed their heads to eat, and listening to their grandparents' quarreling made them all look like they were watching a play.

Maybe it was because they saw their granddaughter crying just now, or maybe it was Chu Xuan and his granddaughter's words that moved them, and I don't know if grandparents told them these words on purpose, just to make them feel at ease.

"Sissy, Dad will drink with you. Dad said something wrong just now, don't take it to heart. Dad is always for your own good." Ankang revealed his heart and toasted his daughter.

Concubine Liu Yi frowned, raised her wine glass and said, "Father, I love you."

The father and daughter had some disputes because of their different ideas, but when they turned around, blood was still dissolved in water.

A glass of wine, a word, a reconciliation was reached, and the relationship remained the same.

Chu Xuan watched this scene gently, he felt warm and happy to see Concubine Liu Yi being in harmony with her family.

He has always believed that even though times have changed and society has changed, family affection is eternal.

"From the uncle's point of view, it must be for the good of Sissi and for her to grow up happily in the future. It's just that the temporary differences in ideas have caused a little controversy. Just now, Sissy's tone of voice was also a bit more serious. Uncle , I apologize to you on her behalf." Chu Xuan said, holding up his wine glass.

The whole family looked at Chu Xuan's actions and smiled.

Ankang poured a glass of wine from the wine dispenser and raised his glass.

Chu Xuan touched Ankang and drank it down.

He put down his glass and said, "In this world, there is no debate between wrong and wrong, nor right and wrong, only right and right."

"Uncle, you say you are right, and we say we are right. Based on the argument that men and women get along, there is no truth in the world to prove who is right."

"But Sissi and I are the parties involved, and we can only be happy if we unswervingly follow the route we have set, because our hearts are here."

"Even if this path is wrong, we can still get happiness. As for the ridicule or disdain of others, who cares? We just want to be happy."

"Well said!!" The uncle applauded Chu Xuan's words, and his grandparents, Ankang, and the others also praised Chu Xuan's words after being stunned for a moment.

The uncle picked up his wine glass and said, "Xiaoxuan, I admire you with admiration. With your high level of thinking, you can take the civil servant examination and enter politics. You will get high marks in terms of ideological, moral and psychological construction."

Concubine Liu Yi was very happy to hear her uncle's praise for Chu Xuan, so she also raised the wine glass with Chu Xuan, saying, "I'll accompany you."

The whole family watched Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi drinking with their uncle, and they felt quite emotional.

After less than an hour of communication, their daughter Cixi grew up so fast, which made them unimaginable but gratified.

As for Chu Xuan, who came to the door for the first time, his behavior and conversation made them look at him differently, and his ideas and career integration path based on the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics finally made them recognize him.

Everyone smiled at Chu Xuan and Qianqian, and sighed in their hearts: These are two young people with great personality.
