I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 220 218. Not an inspirational story

   "Jiaojiao..."

"Um?"

  Sitting on the sofa, wearing black-rimmed glasses, Zhang Jiao, who was watching the latest fashion week videos with a notebook, raised her head:

"how?"

   "You said... Should I send a message to Director Xu?"

   On the single sofa next to her, Zhao Liying was lying down in a posture that put a lot of pressure on her cervical spine, holding her mobile phone with her face full of confusion.

  Hearing this, Zhang Jiao said without thinking:

   "Get up! Sit down!"

   "..."

  Zhao Liying was speechless, but sat upright obediently.

  She is out of shape...

  This is what the company's teacher said.

   During the years of studying flight attendants, the standing posture and so on have long been entangled with the rice. After auditioning for several modern urban roles and being rejected because of her figure, Zhang Jiao became the teacher who supervised her keeping her figure.

  Until she regards these gestures as instinct.

   After she sat up straight, Zhang Jiao said:

   "I advise you not to. Unless you want to die ugly in the future..."

"…ah?"

  Zhao Liying was taken aback for a moment:

   "What do you mean?... I don't post anything else, I just post one: Director Xu, thank you for your opinion today... If you are flattering like this, why is it so ugly?"

   "Why do you think Director Xu came to Hengdian suddenly?"

   "...Come here to choose a scene. Although he said he came here for a walk, Yanjing is so far away, why come here for a walk? It must be preparing for a new movie!"

   "..."

   Zhang Jiao was completely speechless.

"You…"

   She sighed:

   "If there is no me, what will you do in the future?"

  Zhao Liying was taken aback for a moment, but immediately wooed her and got into the small two-person sofa, squeezed together with her:

   "Oh, my sweetheart, I like you the most!"

   I have to admit that the two of them are not particularly messy people in private.

  So even though the house is rented, under the care of the two, everything in the small apartment is in order.

  Including this sofa, the two bought it back in the second-hand market.

   Zhao Liying herself is not ugly, nor is Zhang Jiao.

  In a cozy little home, the picture of the two of them huddled together, shoulders and backs hooked is really quite Lalalei.

   With eyes full of disgust, she pushed away Zhao Liying's face, and after deforming the bun's face, Zhang Jiao also paused the video on the laptop, turned to look at her and said:

   "Think about it carefully, who is Director Xu!"

   "Dog face!"

  Zhao Liying ignored the words "Think about it carefully", she was straightforward, and threw out such a sentence with her mouth like a knife.

   "..."

  The corner of Zhang Jiao's mouth twitched...

   "I've said it all, you will suffer in the future with your character that can't talk but your brain! Can't you change it?"

   "Yes, yes, change, can I change it? Tell me, what do you mean?"

  Zhao Liying's eyes are full of flattery.

  Zhang Jiao sighed helplessly:

   "Alas... Think about it from another angle, Director Xu is busy with the Olympics!"

   "Aren't the Olympics over?"

   “…and the Paralympics!”

"Well…"

   "So, it is impossible for him to open a new movie at this juncture. How could he come to Hengdian for no reason?"

   "But he just came here. I saw it with my own eyes and got the phone number. How can it be fake?"

   "..."

  Looking at Zhao Liying's blank face, Zhang Jiao is really crazy.

  His hands directly touched Zhao Liying's face, and began to knead wildly:

   "I told you to use your brain! My bun! Baozi!! He came for Yang Mi, can't you see it!!"

   Zhao Liying, who had been rubbed with a "painful" face, was stunned instantly when she heard this.

"…For whom?"

   "Yang Mi! You idiot!"

   Zhang Jiao is really speechless:

   "The crew of "Sword and Sword III" is here, don't you know?"

"I know."

   "Immortal Sword III is here, and Yang Mi is here. I told you in "Golden Armor" that these two people have an unusual relationship. Have you forgotten?"

"Well…"

  Hearing this, Zhao Liying's words made Zhang Jiaoren dumbfounded.

   "These two haven't broken up yet?"

   "...?????"

  Zhang Jiao stared blankly at her friend.

this…

   How did you say this?

what are you thinking?

   Immediately afterwards, she heard another sentence:

"Oh, Director Xu is very affectionate! I didn't see it. I read his gossip before, saying that he drove a Ferrari and went to bars and KTVs every day... I thought he was a sweetheart. It's been more than two years Alright, have these two... been together for so long?"

   "??????"

   Zhang Jiao stared blankly at her friend and asked:

   "Is this the truest thought in your heart?"

"…yes."

  Zhao Liying stared at those two big eyes and nodded:

"Don't you think so? Have you forgotten about Xiaomei? You just walked away with the producer of the crew for half a year, didn't you come back to be a group performer two days ago?... At that time, she still said that the producer said... The fate of the two is destined. It is said that she will not marry. You see, it has only been half a year. I had an abortion and I haven’t received any breakup fee. What? Looking at it now, Director Xu is a good man. He has been with Yang Mi for so long and never broke up."

"I…"

   I really don’t know what to say.

   is also really speechless.

   Zhang Jiao looked at her friend stupidly, and shook her head:

   "I really don't know what's going on in your mind. Isn't Yang Mi beautiful?"

   "Beautiful. Especially the movement of talking, how charming. The voice is so childish~"

  Sister, let me tell you about your appearance.

  What voice are you talking about with me?

  With this sense of absurdity, she said helplessly:

   "Then why do you think Director Xu will break up with Yang Mi?"

"Because he's Director Xu! Putting aside whether he's handsome or not, and whether he's handsome or not, his first film won an award in Cannes, and then he made hundreds of millions of dollars in box office around the world...Jiaojiao, this kind of What kind of woman can't you find? Don't mention anything else, let's not talk about surpassing Yang Mi in Hengdian, there are also many beauties who are not worse than Yang Mi, right?"

"Well…"

"There are more in Yanjing. Think about it, a small assistant director here, or some directors who can make movies, or some directors who can make movies, or some capable producers... They hook their fingers The group of women stabbed at their sides one after another, and they couldn't stop them.

  Didn’t Lan Lan and Qianqian just go to the director’s room of that crew for one night, and then play two small supporting roles... Then the news got out, who wasn’t envious? Even a small director is like this, Director Xu is so... so powerful, but can he have a woman by his side? But he is still with Yang Mi, and he can still see Yang Mi in his busy schedule... Does he not have a relationship? "

"Well…"

  Instinctively, she felt that this was not what the two of them discussed at the beginning.

  But right now, I can't take care of it.

  Nodding subconsciously:

   "It's really a long relationship."

   "Then Yang Mi is so cool..."

   "Yeah...huh?"

  Zhang Jiao was taken aback again.

"What the hell?"

   Then I saw a fire of gossip in my friend's eyes:

   "I saw it on Tianya... When his interview just came out, someone broke the news, saying that he used to have a lot of fun. The person who broke the news had a night with Director Xu... He said that he had a long time, and that was special..."

   "Ah!! You shut up!!"

  Zhang Jiao couldn't take it anymore.

   directly covered Zhao Liying's mouth:

   "What exactly do you want to say? Isn't it what we want to talk about whether you want to send him a message!"

  She really can't stand her unrestricted mouth.

   How dare you say it.

   dare to say anything.

  Those pretentious things on Tianya...you really believe it!

   Unexpectedly, when she reminded her like this, Zhao Liying was also taken aback...

yes.

  How did you start talking about this?

  So he nodded quickly, and pulled away his friend's hand:

   "Yes, yes, why do you say that I will die so ugly?"

   "Because he came to look for Yang Mi!! Eldest sister!! Can you let me go!"

  Zhang Jiao was completely speechless:

"He has come to look for Yang Mi. Do you think the two of you can stay together at night? Who do you think you are? You send a message to Director Xu in front of Yang Mi? What if Yang Mi is not happy? The two of you will not be together because of Did you quarrel? Do you think you still have a way to survive in the future!? Eldest sister, why can’t you even figure this out? But you can remember so clearly whether he’s living well or not!? Please, you’re an actor! Please! Can you... use your brain!"

"Well…"

  Looking at her furious friend who couldn't laugh or cry, Zhao Liying fell silent instead.

   After thinking about it carefully...

Eh?

   It seems to be such a truth.

just in case…

  Thinking of this, she asked:

   "Then when is the right time for me to post it? After tonight, will it appear that tomorrow... I forgot about him?"

"Big sister! Who do you think you are? A-list actress Zhao Liying?... It's best if you don't post it! It's not a festival or a celebration now. Just don't post anything, and wait...August 15th, wait August 15th is here, send him a blessing text message or something and he will be overwhelmed, okay? Don't be a moth, and watch less gossip, okay? Oh, I'm really..."

   Zhang Jiao, who had already put on the pain mask, scratched her hair.

   "In the future, you really... you are going to become famous, I beg you to control your mouth. Your mouth is too scary..."

   "Oh, I'll just talk to you. I won't talk about other people..."

  Zhao Liying is obviously used to the daily life of her friend being tormented mad by her, so she clings to her again with a smile on her face.

  But Zhang Jiao "has fashion in mind" and repeatedly resists.

   Finally, after a long tug-of-war, Zhao Liying, who had had enough fun and went crazy, let her go.

   Satisfied, he returned to the single sofa, lay sprawled on the sofa, looked at the ceiling and murmured:

   "I don't know when I will be able to go to Director Xu's play..."

  Zhang Jiao didn't lift her head:

"Sit down!"

  …

six o'clock.

  The instinctive biological clock made Yang Mi open her eyes instantly.

   But listening to the sound of rain outside, she thought for a while and arched her back.

   Well, pigeons.

  When it rains, the shooting plan has to be adjusted.

   Not so fast.

  Then just stay in bed for a while.

  So, when it was almost 8 o'clock, Liu Zhishi stared blankly at the wall of the living room of the suite, her eyes were still bloodshot, she was dumbfounded.

   Isn't it... again?

  …

afternoon.

  After adjusting the shooting plan, the crew of "Sword and Sword III" was very busy.

   Today we are going to shoot an interior scene.

  The story mainly takes place in the Tang family when Tang Xuejian's grandfather was still alive, including several scenes of Sedum.

  After Huo Jianhua finished putting on his makeup, because the room was a bit stuffy, he went outside to enjoy the cool air.

  As soon as he came out, he saw Hu Jian leaning against a pillar in the corridor and looking into the dressing room.

  Although the two got acquainted here, they unexpectedly found that their personalities were very compatible, so the relationship developed very quickly.

  Huo Jianhua saw Hu Jian staring at the dressing room in a daze, and asked:

   "What do you think?"

  Hu Jian's eyes were a little straight, looking at Yang Mi who was sitting there talking and laughing with Tang Yan, he suddenly said:

   "Hey, who do you think is prettier, Yang Mi or Tang Yan?"

   "...?"

  Huo Jianhua was taken aback.

  This word...

  What do you mean?

   After thinking for a while, he lowered his voice:

   "Who do you think is beautiful?"

   "..."

  Hu Jian was a little speechless, thinking that I was asking you.

  But since Huo Jianhua asked, he didn't hide anything:

   "I think Yang Mi is beautiful, especially today... she is very beautiful."

   "..."

  The moment Huo Jianhua heard this, he felt that his guess was indistinguishable.

  So nodded:

   "Hmm... Then, would you like to ask if she has a boyfriend? I remember that she and Jay Chou had an affair?"

   As he spoke, he suddenly thought about it and shook his head:

   "However, Jay Chou seems to be having an affair with a woman named...Jiang or something recently. The two don't look alike...You don't have Yang Mi's phone number?"

   "...No, you have?"

   "Yes... Everyone has been in the same group for so long, and you don't even have her phone number?"

   "...sorry for asking."

   "..."

  Hearing what Hu Jian said, Huo Jianhua was really speechless.

   But right now Yang Mi has finished drawing the outfit, and she is walking out in Xue Jian's outfit.

  Huo Jianhua quickly said:

   "I'll give you later... Mimi, today is beautiful."

  Yang Mi, who had just walked to the door, was stunned when she heard this, and then responded with a smile:

   "Thanks."

   As she spoke, she waved at the two of them, and went to the front to watch the shooting location for a while.

   Only a cheerful-looking back was left.

   At this moment, Liu Zhishi's assistant outside the house came into the room with a plastic bag of ice in his hand, and said to Liu Zhishi who was sitting on a chair reading the script:

   "Sister, here are the ice cubes."

   "Well, thanks."

  Liu Zhishi nodded, and covered her eyes with a bag of ice cubes.

  Her eyes are red and bloodshot today, so she needs to apply ice.

  …

  It rains in Hengdian today.

  Although the crew was filming an indoor scene, the progress of the work was not too smooth.

   Before 6 p.m., work was over.

  Yang Mi still walked back in a hurry, after all, her boyfriend had been squatting in the hotel all day.

   Don't know how boring it is.

  She wanted to hurry back and be with Xu Xin.

  Before leaving, facing Huo Jianhua's proposal to invite everyone to eat hot pot together, she was still "ruthless".

   Said he had something to do.

   Then I quickly returned to the hotel all the way.

  Xu Xin said he was bored this afternoon... bored too.

   Say it’s not boring, that’s okay.

  Bored because he didn't go anywhere else in the afternoon, so he just stayed at Yang Mi's house to watch a movie.

   Finished watching "Assembly" and "Jam Dunk".

   After watching "Assembly", he nodded repeatedly, and watching "Slam Dunk" made him hang his toes.

  What kind of stupid script is this...

   After reading it persistently, he suppressed the desire to complain in his heart and sent a message to Jay Chou:

   "The director of Slam Dunk will be blacklisted in the future. I can't figure out how to make it like this."

   And Jay Chou has a bigger heart.

  After he replied to this message, Jay Chou said directly:

   "Hey, let's go eat Japanese food next time? I heard that the apprentice of the God of Tempura opened a restaurant in Yanjing, so I'll try it next time."

  Xu Xin was stunned for a while when he saw this message.

   I thought that a thing that sells fried skewers is still out of my mind?

  He was speechless.

   But those things were left behind with the return of the girlfriend.

   "What's for dinner tonight? Shall I do it?"

  Hearing what his girlfriend said, Xu Xin, who had been holding back in the hotel all afternoon, shook his head directly:

   "Go and see if the big brother from Northeast is out of the stall?"

   "This weather...can you still open a stall?"

   "Have you come and eaten this time?"

   "No, you're not here, I live a regular life, and I never run around at night, okay. But...you mention it, I want to eat too, let's go!"

"Walk."

  Yang Mi thoughtfully took two masks, one pair for each, and walked out of the hotel with an umbrella.

   Still didn’t drive, and no one followed.

  Including Sun Ting did not give way.

  After leaving the hotel, the rain gradually stopped.

  Without an umbrella, Yang Mi just took her fiancé's hand and walked along the very familiar road to the residential area of ​​Hengdian.

   I have to admit that Hengdian seems to have changed a lot in the past two years.

   But for this kind of residential area, the change is not great.

   Just…

   "Northeast barbecue...is this?"

  Looking at the storefront on the side of the road, Xu Xin looked left and right, and asked his girlfriend there uncertainly.

  Yang Mi also has some doubts:

   "It should be? But why is there no food stall?"

"I'll ask."

  As Xu Xin said, he pushed open the door.

  Maybe because I came early enough, there are not many customers in this store.

  As soon as Xu Xin entered, the waiter greeted him:

   "Welcome, how many people?"

  The waiter is an older lady who looks to be in her thirties, and she looks pretty.

  But Xu Xin saw a familiar photo on the wall.

  It was a special photo of myself, Jay Chou, and Yang Mi sitting in front of the booth eating barbecue.

  In an instant, he felt relieved and asked:

   "Is it the barbecue that used to set up a stall?"

"right."

  The eldest sister nodded.

  Xu Xin asked again:

   "Is it... Brother Li's shop?"

   "Yes, it belongs to my shopkeeper, it's in the back... acquaintance?"

  The shopkeeper?

  Can't you just tell the boss directly?

  Xu Xin was a little speechless, but still nodded:

   "You two, I'll go out and call her. Is there a private room?"

"…have."

  Although it could be seen that the eldest sister was a little surprised why the two of them needed a single room, she still responded.

   "A private room...I'll call her."

   As he spoke, he walked out and waved at Yang Mi.

   "It's Brother Li's barbecue stall...ha. Interesting?"

"What's wrong?"

  Yang Mi was a little puzzled.

   "The waitress called Brother Li the shopkeeper, isn't it good to just call him the boss? Haha~"

"…ah?"

  Hearing Xu Xin's words, Yang Mi was taken aback, then became speechless:

   "Brother, in the Northeast, shopkeeper means husband..."

   "...?"

  Xu Xin was dumbfounded when he heard it:

"What?"

   "Oh, you haven't been there, you just don't know. The husband over there is called the shopkeeper...sister-in-law, right?"

   As Yang Mi said, she had already opened the door of the barbecue restaurant.

   Oh yes, you probably don't know.

  She is a social cow.

  So when he entered the door, he yelled:

   "Brother Li! Guess who's coming!"

   "..."

  Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

  The elder sister who had just come out was also stunned when she heard the movement.

   Then I heard a voice from the back kitchen:

   "Hey, here we come."

   I haven't seen him for more than two years. The owner of the barbecue restaurant, who seems to have gained a lot of weight, came out with gloves covered in black ash.

  After seeing Yang Mi and Xu Xin, he was obviously a little dazed and didn't recognize them.

  Until Yang Mi took off the mask:

   "Hee hee, Brother Li, do you still know us?"

  Xu Xin also took off the mask in cooperation.

   Then the boss was completely stunned.

   About three or four seconds passed...

   "Oops! You guys!! Oops..."

  He walked over quickly, his eyes bright:

   "Oh, oh, you are here! ...I didn't even recognize it! Hurry up, huh, huh!!"

   I haven't seen him for more than two years. Brother Li, who has turned the original snacks into a barbecue restaurant, is very excited.

   After meeting him, he was surprised:

   "Hurry up, this guy... oops..."

   Oops, after a long while, I finally said:

   "I didn't dare to recognize it at first... Hurry up, daughter-in-law, make tea, and take the good tea from the cabinet. Hurry up, sit down, let's open a private room. Oops..."

   What a passion.

  Take off the gloves, hold Xu Xin's hand and lead into the private room.

  After Xu Xin and Yang Mi sat down with a smile, Brother Li said to his wife, needless to say:

   "Hurry up and deal with the three fresh sheep treasures that were just put in the refrigerator."

   It's been more than two years and he hasn't forgotten what Yang Mi and Xu Xin like to eat. As soon as he finished talking, Xu Xin was delighted.

   smiled and handed over the cigarette.

   "Brother Li, business is going well?"

   "Oh, don't mention it, I saw the news about your filming interview on TV two days ago, and I told my wife about it. I said Yang Mi is a nobleman of our family..."

   "Hahahahaha~"

  Hearing this, Yang Mi was really happy.

  I heard Brother Li continue to laugh and say:

"Don't be happy, it's true. After you finished shooting and left, I hung up the photos of our group photo on the booth. We all know that Jay Chou, Yang Mi, and my brother like to come to my house to eat. Then the fans come in... There was a queue for business... Later last year, because of the environmental protection of the Olympics, I was not allowed to set up a stall, so I sold this shop. I also took over my wife and children... Oh, really... Daughter-in-law, hurry up, get the wine and let us Bring those two bottles of wild ginseng wine."

   After speaking, he turned his head and said to Xu Xin:

"Drink something high or low today! When I went home for the Spring Festival last year, I specially asked my father-in-law to make wine soaked in wild ginseng... just thinking... as long as you can still remember me, find this, this bottle of wine is for you. You keep it... I'm afraid you won't find it, you know? I didn't even change the name, it's called Northeast BBQ... Daughter-in-law, tell Xiaodong to bake something first, don't (four beeps) fix the stove, and bake it quickly Bring something up."

   That's really a passion.

  Xu Xin and Yang Mi are not pretentious. During the few months in Hengdian, they really came to eat at his house a lot, and they both know what kind of people they are.

You are welcome.

   nodded and said:

   "I was going to drink some beer today..."

"How can you! Just order white, try the wine from our house. Let me tell you, the pure grain has been stored in the cellar for three years, and it has been soaked in ginseng for another year. The wine is old... You both have to drink, man!"

  After hearing Li Ge's words, Xu Xin didn't need to say anything.

  Yang Mi nodded like a rattle:

   "Yeah, drink! I haven't drunk ginseng wine yet!"

   "Hahaha...Who is...Jay Lun?"

"at home."

   "Oh...that's a pity."

   "It's okay, I'll take that bottle back to him."

   "Hahahahaha..."

  …

  To be honest, both of them could tell.

  Compared to the "down and down" appearance with only a tricycle and a few small tables, Brother Li's life is indeed much better.

  Although Xu Xin and Yang Mi never asked what happened from the beginning to the end, a person from the Northeast who left his hometown and lost his family and business came to the south to set up a stall.

   It was the middle-aged man who handed over the shop to his apprentice tonight to support him, and sat drinking in a private room by himself.

  In fact, there are just a few points to sum up.

   Drinking, playing money.

  He was in debt and dared not go home.

  I left my family and business and came to the south, and everything started again.

   That's all.

  I didn’t say how much money I owed, nor did I say how poor I was at the time.

It's just that after the son who just finished the cram school, just passed the exam this year, and started the first grade of junior high school, he brought his son over to see the noble person who brought his father a "turnaround", and the middle-aged man who waited for his son to leave borrowed With a glass of wine and a cigarette, his eyes were slightly red in the smoke under the light.

   Those are the feelings of a prodigal son who turned his head back, worked hard, and understood the true meaning of life even through hard work.

And now, with a heart of gratitude for life, whether it is mutton, chicken wings, or every kind of vegetable baked goods, they will be washed clean, so that even the lettuce leaves used to place the plate will not have any insect eyes, and the quality will be maintained. The obsession of the "cleanliness" boss.

   Indeed.

   "Northeast BBQ" business is very good.

  When Xu Xin and Yang Mi first arrived at around 5 o'clock, there was no one there.

   But when it was nearly 8 o'clock, the stage had already started to turn over.

   A little busy.

  Brother Li, who was still unsatisfied, had to start helping in the back kitchen.

  Before I left, I even made amends, thinking that I didn’t entertain the two of them well today...

  Xu Xin hurriedly said you're welcome.

   Then he turned his head and said to Yang Mi:

   "My child is in the first grade of junior high school this year, and school will start in a few days. Do I have to give him a gift?"

   Yang Mi nodded with a bowl of candied poached eggs:

   "But not too much, too much will appear deliberate... I'll buy a red envelope, just give me a thousand."

   "...There are more than a thousand wild ginseng in these two bottles of wine."

   "This is my heart... let's give it two thousand. After I go back, I will go to the post bar to promote this place, which is better than anything else. Anyway, Brother Li bakes delicious~"

   "Okay, I'll go buy red envelopes."

"Um."

  After the two discussed it, they obviously drank less than three ounces of wine, but Xu Xin, who had already been made up and blushed, stood up shaking and standing up.

  This wine…

  Wild ginseng…

  It's too much.

  As soon as I went out, I saw a room full of guests.

  Pushing cups and changing cups, it's so lively.

   Full of fireworks.

  Xu Xin has a kind of... faint pride for no reason.

  Even if he is only here to provide less than one percent help.

  Unconsciously, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  But he was about to walk towards the door...Suddenly, he heard a sound in a trance:

   "Director Xu!?"

   Instinctively turned his head to take a look.

  Two bowls of instant noodles, next to an iron plate that has eaten all the meat...

  The two girls got up subconsciously at the same time, looking straight at him.

  Not Zhao Liying and Zhang Jiao...

   Who else?

   Originally, I planned to return it in the reader chapter, but found that many people’s definition of daily life is water, so I will talk about what I did in these two chapters.

  1, Chapter 217 is the beginning of the story of the blind sister, and later Xu Xin became a person who everyone in the circle knows that "X is a good job" but only favors one person.

2. The first half of Zajiang reflects the down-to-earth life of the couple, and the embedding of the relationship between the blind sister and Yang Mi's rapid development. use. Including the two black-backed "Zai Zai and Niu Niu" who had a low sense of presence before, are also prepared for this plot. And Yang Mi's reputation as a "good cook".

  3, the story of Zhang and Zhao in the first half of Chapter 218 is to confirm the eavesdropping content of 217 Blind Sister, as well as the character design of the first article. At the same time, the rationality of Zhao and Zhang's contact with Xu and Yang was completed, because the two "rented a house" to eat barbecue and met Xu and Yang to prepare for the later story line.

  4. The content of the second half of the barbecue is to build up the strong popularity of the couple in the later stage, and second, to bury the antecedents in tomorrow's chapter. Third, the ending of the "Northeast Barbecue" line in "Golden Armor" has a slightly hasty ending. Fourth, after Zhao, Zhang, Xu, and Yang sit at a table in tomorrow's chapter, pave the way for the follow-up plot.

  So, daily life is not equal to water.

  (end of this chapter)
