It's hard to be a stepmother

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, life went on as usual. After I confirmed that Ms. Su was not about to die, I stopped paying attention to the Xiao family. Finally, those unfavorable news, they will naturally find a way to clean up, and then release some promotions, as long as the intensity is strong, no one is unwilling to go, people are forgetful, not to mention that there are so many news now, no one I will always pay attention to them, and forget the past scandals over time.

Qingshan tea is a special category. After the two major festivals of spring tea and Mid-Autumn Festival, the sales volume will be relatively flat, but the overall sales volume is still good. It is really the light of the state banquet tea, and all parties have given strong support Yes, online ranks first in the tea category.

Now it's time to wait for the bigger festival of the Chinese New Year.

However, the development momentum of [Qingshan Inn] has been selling well all the way. This new type of tea drink has been favored by the majority of young people. From summer to winter, there is no off-season.Therefore, the development of offline physical stores is very good. The tea and refreshment masters invited are all well-known masters in the industry. They come from Yunjing. The drinks and snacks they make are impeccable, delicious, and affordable. The number of stores is also increasing steadily.In addition to this, I want the brand to develop to a higher end. Just like the black swan, I also want to have a high benchmark, so that the brand will not go down. If the brand does not go down, the quality will get better and better.

And there is no need to worry about this, take your time, I can't help before the clubhouse is built, I just study the script, one drama a year, I want to choose a better one.

Just like the horror novel I told Huo Hanchuan some time ago, as long as it is a popular novel, I will read it side by side, and I feel that I am not doing my job properly.

After reading no less than a hundred novels, Wen Jing and I decided on a unit drama, suspenseful, bloody and brain-burning drama. The screenwriter is a master of dog-blooded dramas. , his screenwriting style has also been brought in, each of which has the potential of dog blood, such as "The Man Who Cheating", "The Wife Who Doesn't Come Home" and other dramas that can be misunderstood just by looking at the name, but in fact these are all The suspense drama, the name is too bloody, of course, the storyline inside is also very bloody, with all kinds of reversals, I can't stop watching his dramas, the comment area is full of scolding, but they all None left.

I watched his drama for a week. Huo Hanchuan said at the beginning that what I watched was not nutritious. Later, he watched it with me and couldn’t stop watching it. After watching the first season, I still couldn’t get enough. What's coming out in the second season.

This screenwriter's play is completely different from my previous style of painting.

Wen Jing said that I was very brave to accept this drama, because the acting skills were exaggerated and bursting, and her subtext was that I would be scolded if my face was paralyzed.

For Wen Jing's words, I decided to tear my face apart.I like this kind of bloody drama now, this kind of fast-paced, brain-burning script, but also bloody and humane script.

Another point, I didn't tell them why I took on this kind of drama that might overturn the car and collapse the aloof and noble character I had worked so hard to set up in the past.

I want to break through myself.

In my last drama, the most common problem I encountered in the barrage was that I couldn't let go, and the acting was not intense enough.I'm going to fix these problems.

The screenwriter is already writing the script. I asked Wen Jing to help me sign up for a few classes, preferably on the theater stage. Wen Jing contacted me. The contact was the National Theater. Wen Jing said that they are just rehearsing the program now. This year is the 100th anniversary of the National Theater On the anniversary of 18, the National Theater will produce 18 stage plays, 18 operas, and [-] dramas to commemorate the art of drama, and will tour all over the country.

A lot of celebrities will be invited, and this show is also a charity performance, so many celebrities will take part in it to save face. She said that if I go, the price will not drop.

Wen Jing thinks highly of me so much that I'm afraid that the National Theater will not want me.I originally wanted to follow and learn, but now I feel like I am directly on stage.

As one of the branches of drama, stage play is also a live broadcast directly facing the audience. It is a test of the performer's ability to perform on the spot and explosive power on the spot. What I lack now is this.

Wen Jing asked me: "Just tell me if you dare to take it."

I bowed my head and smiled: "Go on, how can Mr. Wen's artist dare not?"

Wen Jing smiled: "That's right! This time the performance is organized by the state. If the performance is successful, you can get back a nationally recognized trophy for the studio, and then you can support us."

I smiled at her: "Okay, I will try my best to support you."

Zhao Yang snapped his fingers: "Brother Chen, even if you don't pay me a salary, I will follow you."

"Then we won't post it from today?"

Zhao Yang laughed: "No problem, the year-end bonus you gave is enough to support me."

That's fine, since he doesn't dislike me for giving less.

I went to study, and as Wen Jing said, this time we will really invite celebrities to come as guest stars. The director of the theater, Teacher Chen, introduced me enthusiastically: "Our performance this time is the most grand one in these years. Recruiting actors from all over the country, there are many veteran actors who are willing to come, and there are also many fresh meat like you, Mr. Xiang Xiao, who have also signed up..."

I saw Ruan Le's name on the list, and he signed up for an opera class.He is the one to help out, he is a singer, he has held countless case meetings, and his ability to perform on the spot will definitely not be a problem, I am a little envious of him.

I pointed out his name to Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen said excitedly: "Yes, the big singer Ruan Le also came to see him, and he sang high notes for us!"

I laughed: "That's great, he sings very nicely, especially the high notes."

After I stayed in the drama class for a week, I met Qin Jue. It seemed that he was also invited. His explosive power was naturally adapted to this kind of stage. It was right for the Chinese theater crew to invite him.

I affirmed his acting ability, but this guy didn't care about my face at all, he circled around me several times, and forgot what the next line I made was.

"Are you playing the president of the Republic of China with facial paralysis? Haven't you heard that there is such a script in talking dramas?" He told me, if I didn't wear a Ming Dynasty button-up robe and maintain my image, I would have wanted to fight him .

I told him, "I'm acting in "Thunderstorm". You're right if you say that." Leiyu is also talking about the bloody life of a big family. My stepson, Zhou Ping, is strictly a young master-level president .

Qin Jue laughed out loud. I think he didn't tell him that. I will have several more explosive scenes later, such as "Romeo and Juliet" and "Home".This "Thunderstorm" is a script that Mr. Chen asked me to practice the transition first. The sobriety of the protagonist in it is quite subtle. Compared with foreign scripts, especially Shakespeare's scripts, domestic scripts are much more subtle.

I didn't want to talk to him anymore, and asked him to rehearse his work quickly, and he said to me: "Since we are so familiar, we will check our lines together in the future. Drama is different from our acting, and there must be someone together. "

Come on, you said it sanctimoniously, don't you just want to see my jokes?

I smiled at him: "Okay, we will cooperate, you work hard."

I swear that I will work hard, even if it is just to impress Qin Jue, I will perform my stage play vividly and vividly.Isn't that an exaggeration?Isn't it just expressing all the emotions in your heart with action language?

This does not conflict with my original intention, I just said that I want to break through my style through stage plays.

After Qin Jue left, I devoted myself to practicing my plays. In January, near the end of the year, the National Theater began touring performances, and most of our scripts were lined up. Among these plays, Qin Jue and I have not yet worked together. However, there are quite a lot of stars in the 1 stage plays, but most of them can guest star in one or two. I can be regarded as a resident actor. Qin Jue is like me, in order to participate in the bloody play written by Zhang Feng, He also decided to rehearse a few more films, I told him he didn't need to rehearse, he just went straight to it, the one with exaggerated expression and evil smile.

He said that I was blatantly jealous of him, and I cut my voice: "The next time the two of us are on the same stage, let's compete."

That’s the end of the challenge book. After Mr. Chen knew about it, he smiled and said that he would arrange the two of us on "The Wind". "The Wind" is the most famous spy movie, and the two characters in it are very good. Fighting openly and secretly, every confrontation brings sparks, the enemy is also a comrade-in-arms, a comrade-in-arms when there is no foreign enemy, and an enemy when there is no foreign enemy. We cherish each other and say that this work is only the two of us.

Qin Jue is gearing up for the next step. I think he is fascinated by the feeling of being praised by fans at close range. The stage play faces the audience fans directly. Sending him flowers feels like having a concert. Oh, the reason why I analyzed it so thoroughly is because I also have the same feeling. After watching the performance,

When the audience below stood up slowly and applauded warmly, the proud and arrogant mood was beyond words.

I went to Ruan Le’s opera performance a few days ago. I brought Huo Hanchuan and Huo Baize. The seats I bought were very good, so this was the first time I was so close to the music kingdom he created. The fans sitting below were all very excited. When he finished singing, I felt my face was flushed.Not only me, Huo Baize's face turned red, and the hands that applauded him also turned red.

I gave Ruan Le a bouquet of flowers and said to him: "Is this kind of performance the same as a concert?" He looked at me and didn't understand what I meant, so I explained to him: "I mean , I’ve always wanted to know what it’s like to have a concert, whether it’s the same atmosphere as a stage performance.”

Ruan Le smiled: "Yes, that's the feeling."

I laughed, then I will treat it as my concert.

I found that when I stand on the stage, I will be addicted. People are narcissistic, and they will do everything they can to get countless positive praises.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the National Theater closed early because we were going to perform from the second day of junior high school. Although we didn’t have to go out of the province, the time coincidentally took up the New Year’s time, so we had an early break.

We went back to the Huo family's old house on the day of the new year, because Mr. Huo said that there were many things at home and we needed our help. He seldom asked his children for anything, so I decided to go back.

Although there are too many etiquettes and things to do in the Huo family's old house, there is also Huo Yunlan there, and it is also Huo Baize's paradise.

I simply decided to go, but Huo Hanchuan was worried. He said to me: "I am really busy with a lot of things at home, and there are a lot of guests every year and year. I am afraid that the second sibling will not let you be Idlers, she can't be idle, and she doesn't want others to be idle."

He said that his siblings are not polite at all, I want to laugh, Zhou Runan's second sister-in-law is really a person who can't take time off, even if I told her clearly, I will not interfere with the housekeeping of the Huo family's old house, but the more she is like this, she The more I have to show my face, I have to prove to everyone that she respects me very much.

Huo Hanchuan is very familiar with the affairs of his family, but I have already agreed, so he said again: "But it's okay, you don't have to worry about the people you don't want to entertain, just push them to me. You can just rehearse the drama on the second day of the new year." Not wrong."

I laughed: "It's okay, I think Mrs. Huo, Mom, won't make me very tired."

I forgot to call his mother my mother again, so I changed my words temporarily and made Huo Hanchuan laugh. What's so funny about him? !It's not that I'm not used to it alone, nor is Mrs. Huo. Since the divorce turmoil agreed with me two and a half years ago, she has been very polite to me. She didn't dare to look at me last time during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I didn't dare to say anything except eating, and she would probably always remember how indifferent and decisive I was at that time.

Huo Hanchuan just looked at me and smiled: "Thank you." He thought I was willing to go back to live with his mother because of him, but it was not as good as he thought.

I actually like the way I get along with his mother now. I still remember Mrs. Huo's enthusiasm for me when I first got married.

I went to pack my luggage. I have to bring a lot of things with me after staying for a long time. Huo Baize packed a big suitcase by himself.

As Huo Hanchuan said, the Huo family's old house has officially entered the busy season, and the number of servants has doubled compared to usual, which is not enough. The second sibling of the Huo family told me that many things have been done by the hotel Although their family started as a hotel, the New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten at home, which is why they are so busy now.

She came to discuss with me about preparing the New Year's banquet, although she also knew that I couldn't help, I followed Huo Hanchuan before coming back on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

Sure enough, she said: "Brother Chen, you used to be protected by the eldest brother, and you were a wealthy and idle person. In the first year, you came to eat at some time, and then left after eating. This year, you finally came early, so you must help me. "

The second brother and sister of the Huo family talked happily, so I smiled: "Okay, if Sister Nan needs my help, just let me know, if I can help."

The second sibling immediately laughed: "Don't worry, I won't give you any cumbersome things. I have made a list of those, and Housekeeper Zhou has arranged them all. Just give Steward Zhou a look. I know you have a good eye." I will leave it to you to prepare for the new year's clothing and decorate the house, and leave all the pots and pans for food and drink, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea to me."

Now that she has already allocated everything, I agreed: "Okay, then listen to Sister Nan, Sister Nan has worked hard." So many things are hard enough.

The second sibling glanced at me, then smiled at Huo Hanchuan who was next to me: "Brother, don't you feel relieved now? Brother Chen of your family doesn't eat fireworks, the work I arrange is all elegant and relaxed."

She praised me as a handful of snow on the top of a high mountain, an elegant gentleman who would rather eat without meat and live without bamboo. Huo Hanchuan laughed before I was humble enough: "Thank you, second brother and sister, but You can ask him to help you share some, let him see the gift list for relatives and friends this year, and he will also have some customers who need it, I know that the second sibling is an expert in this field, you can help him to see it together."

The second younger brother and sister of the Huo family glanced at him, walked over to me, and then smiled: "Okay, brother, then I will take time to tell Brother Chen about our relatives in the Huo family. Hey, Brother Chen, I have Forgot that you are also the big boss now! What a sin! You forgive Sister Nan, Sister Nan has been dizzy recently."

She clasped her palms together while she was talking, and smiled at me, and I smiled too: "Thank you, Sister Nan, if you need my help here, the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are poured, I can also help you "It's said that male chauvinists won't even help a soy sauce bottle when it's down, it's not me, I've given Huo Hanchuan the soy sauce bottle.

The second younger sibling was amused by me, reached out and took my arm, and said to me: "Brother Chen, you are much better than that second brother! Sister Nan is willing to partner with a handsome guy. That big brother, I will take Brother Chen It was taken?"

She went to work first, and said to bring me the list later, after she laughed and walked away, I looked at Huo Hanchuan: "I have never got those lists before." I know they are all contacts, Huo Hanchuan I'm afraid I won't be able to make good use of the connections my family has built up over the past century.

Huo Hanchuan just smiled: "It's not that the midwife is looking for experienced ones. You haven't done it before, and now you can do it in time. It's not a big deal, so don't worry. She," he raised his chin, "Your sister Nan is giving gifts. It's very powerful, you can just take a look at it. If you still have any questions that you are embarrassed to ask, just ask me."

Now that he said so, then I let go. Huo Hanchuan helped me get through these connections before, and I also want to manage them myself.

Sure enough, as Huo Hanchuan said, Sister Nan is very proficient in sorting out these personal connections. Every gift is different according to different people, and it is comprehensive and exquisite.

With her help, the sophistication on my side has been handled very well.

The rest is relatively simple.

The job that my second sibling arranged for me is indeed very leisurely. Butler Zhou has been in the Huo family for almost half his life. He is more familiar with the customs and habits of the Huo family than I am, so he has prepared very well, so I just nodded and said yes.

So I’m not too busy these days, so I’m in charge of selecting paintings. There are a lot of paintings that need to be changed in the new year and new atmosphere. I led Huo Baize to visit the art exhibition. I originally went to select paintings, but he was a little bit concerned about the art exhibition. No interest, we played in the playground for most of the day.

There were Huo Hanchuan and Yunlan in the company. Huo Yunlan couldn't come during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but she returned to China during the New Year, so she took her with her wherever she went.

Although the age groups are not uniform, but after entering the playground, they are almost like children. Huo Baize is still young, he can't play much, so we play with him are children's, rotating slide, ocean ball pool, However, this amusement park known as the Oriental Disneyland is very well designed, even adults who are children can play, at least I am addicted to sitting on the slide, a very long slide, twists and turns, rushing down from above and falling into it In the ball pool, the feeling of being buried by colorful balls can be described with an adjective: too rich, it feels like owning a pool of balls.

Huo Baize rolled next to me, and the balls rushed higher and higher, and he was buried in it. I piled some more on him, so he was completely invisible, and he shouted under the ball: "Dad, I was buried by the ball." Yes, help!"

Shouting so vigorously, but refusing to come out, and still lying and rolling, Huo Hanchuan threw some on him again, Huo Baize became even happier, and fluttered his hands, and with his flutter, the ball under me also sank, Huo Hanchuan also Throwing the ball at me, I didn't want him to be alone, so I also threw it at him. He blocked it with one hand and threw it with the other. How could it compare to Huo Baize and me? As it got deeper, Huo Baize laughed: "Father is going to be buried too, are you begging for mercy?!"

Huo Hanchuan was still stubborn: "I'm not afraid, let the storm come more violently!" As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yunlan, who slid down from above, kicked him into the ball pool.

I didn't want to laugh at him, but I couldn't hold it back, Huo Yunlan stopped short of saying "big brother", and laughed out loud instead.Huo Baize paused for a moment, and burst out laughing. He threw himself into his father's arms and rolled, completely insane with joy.

After he finished thumping, Huo Hanchuan stretched out a hand from the ball pool with difficulty, and I pulled him out.His hairstyle no longer exists. I thought of some adjectives, which can be compared from a cool peacock to a drowned chicken who lost a fight. I won't let him do it. My hair is well groomed before I go out. I have to pay attention to my image when I go out.

I grabbed his hand: "I'll get it for you."

I used my fingers to give him a random shape. His hair has a lot of volume, and his fingers are very comfortable to wear inside. It feels like wearing it in the wind. It feels like feathers are passing by. Huo Hanchuan also sits straight and makes me feel Get it for him, after I took my hands out of his hair, unzipped his clothes at his neckline, and said to him: "Okay, he's a handsome guy again!" I stood up and pulled him up.

Huo Yunlan led Huo Baize: "Let's go play something else."

This amusement park has restrictions on admission, there are few people, so there is no need to queue up. We went to play other places one after another. After sitting enough for Huo Baize to play on the merry-go-round, pirate ship, trampoline, etc., he set his sights on Gao Difficult ones, roller coaster, bungee jumping, he can't play, but let me play with Huo Hanchuan.

He thought the two of us would be scared, but he didn't know that the two of us were adults, and the ones we played with him just now were like playing house.

Before Huo Hanchuan and I went up, he gave us a high five, telling us to cheer up and not to be afraid.When I got up, I found that he told us both to be right. When I was down there, I laughed at those screaming in the roller coaster, and I said the same thing when I went up.

It's involuntary. When swinging to the lowest end, the most extreme position, it is human instinct to yell. I don't know if Huo Hanchuan yelled, because my ears are the screams of other people around me. I just remember that he grabbed my hand vigorously, and after a few back and forths, I got better and could look at him. He smiled at me and opened his mouth. I couldn't hear it clearly, but his mouth shape was: again coming!

I grabbed his hand tightly, closed my eyes and rushed down without any fear. I thought it was no wonder so many people screamed so badly, but they still played happily, because there was someone beside you holding your hand and advancing and retreating with you.

After riding the roller coaster, I went to challenge the bungee jumping again. The bungee jumping in the playground was not too difficult, and it was two people together. The staff asked us to intersect our arms. I hugged Huo Hanchuan tightly. The waist is also hugged very tightly. I am about the same height as him, and the feeling of hugging each other is very solid, and we can rely on each other, as if we can hold each other at any time.

Huo Hanchuan has never hanged on a wire before. He always asks me if I am afraid of being on the wire. It is fine when I go up, but I am not afraid when I fly down. The last time I filmed the scene of the fallen devil, there was a scene like this So this time I told him: "This should be how I feel about hanging on to Wia, let's try."

He smiled: "OK."

There is a whistling wind in your ears, and you are falling rapidly because the other party is there, don't be afraid, whether it is the world, heaven, or hell, I am willing to jump down with you.

Amusement parks have such magical powers. No matter how many times we come here, we will rejuvenate at a certain moment. By the time we had fun, it was almost night. Butler Zhou called us and said that the paintings we ordered in the gallery had been delivered. , why haven't we got home yet?

The author has something to say:

Remarks: The next chapter is the extra episode of Chapter 91. The apology and the reasons are all there, so I won't post it.If you can't connect to the back, you can go there to see it.
