A few days after returning to Taojiacun, Xu Qingsong still went to work in the studio as usual, and Liu Wangxue also went with him, but he just sat in the lounge area of the drinking bar and chatted with Tao Huaxin, and helped Tiantian play by the way.
Tao Huaxin had two months of confinement after giving birth the year before last, so the "not sweet" drinking bar in the studio was also closed for two months at that time. If you want to drink coffee, you can only make it yourself. There are none, but Qiu Xiangrong occasionally asks Liu Nanshan to bring some desserts for everyone to eat.
Since the 100th day passed, little girl Tiantian has been brought to the studio by Tao Huaxin almost every day, because except for the Mondays off at home, her parents and Qiu Xiangrong are very busy, and they are afraid of an oversight. Unless there was an accident, and the studio wasn't busy, Tao Huaxin could take care of it.
It can be said that Xiao Tiantian has become a part of the studio in the past two years, more like a mascot. When everyone comes to buy something to eat and drink, they always tease her.
Tiantian is a lively baby. She always responds to anyone who greets her. Especially when she is learning to speak, she will babbling when people come to communicate.
Thanks to extensive and frequent social training, Xiao Tiantian is now less than two years old and has become a "little chatterbox" with a rich vocabulary. Sometimes Tao Huaxin couldn't stand her, and he felt that she must be very talented in languages, so he deliberately taught her to recite some ancient poems, downloaded some children's stories for her to listen to, and even enrolled her in online English courses for young children. .
Xiao Tiantian is in the language explosion period at this age, and she is really talented in language. After learning for a period of time, her results are remarkable, especially when she meets Richard, she will take the initiative to speak to him in English. say.
Richard was amazed at the expressive ability of this sweet baby, and he liked to take some time to communicate with her after meals, which was equivalent to giving her a private lesson for about half an hour.
While Tiantian was taking a nap on the sofa, Liu Wangxue came over to the bar and asked Tao Huaxin: "Our little Tiantian's birthday will be at the end of the month. How are you and your brother-in-law going to celebrate?"
< br> Tao Huaxin said while tidying up the bar: "I want to take her out to play. Two days ago, she went to the Animal World and said she wanted to see tigers and lions. Xiangrong and I discussed taking her to the city's zoo. .”
Liu Wangxue joked: "The lions and tigers in the zoo are different from those in the animal world."
Tao Huaxin also laughed: "What can I do? She simply doesn't understand now, otherwise I will still Do you really want to take her to the African savannah?"
Liu Wangxue nodded: "Actually, it's not impossible to wait until she grows up."
"Then wait until she grows up. Let's talk about it when she's older," Tao Huaxin thought for a while, "But when the time comes, Xiangrong and I will definitely not be able to bear her running so far away."
After that, he asked Liu Wangxue: "What are your and Qingsong's plans. When are you going to have a baby?”
Liu Wangxue said with a smile: "I have to wait until after the wedding is over. I don't want to wear a wedding dress with a big belly."
After Tao Huaxin packed up his things, he took out a wet wipe and wiped his hands: "Let me Let me give you some knowledge. Even if you get pregnant right away, your belly won’t grow until the wedding day.” About ten days after the end, I will go to the set again. Anyway, it’s hard to say.”
As someone who has experienced it, Tao Huaxin still wants to tell her: “If you plan to have a baby, you should try to do it as early as possible, otherwise there will be a postpartum period. It’s really not easy to recover.”
When Tao Huaxin was chatting with Liu Wangxue during her confinement period, she talked about many topics about postpartum. As a mother, Gu Xuelan also told her these things. All understood. She really likes children, so she is already prepared for what her children will face in the future.
Liu Wangxue agreed and planned to go back and talk to Xu Qingsong again. The two discussed the plan, but it was best not to come when the crew was traveling around the country filming location, otherwise she was worried that both parties would not be able to cope with it.
A few days passed quickly and it was time for the second recording.
The staff of the program team came to Taojia Village two days in advance and installed the camera in the courtyard the afternoon before the recording started.
Xu Qingsong has now moved to Liu Wangxue's side. The house on his side is reserved for the program team to install monitoring equipment. The two bedrooms can also be used as rest rooms for the staff.
The program team worked very efficiently and evacuated quickly after the machine was installed.
In order not to disturb their work, Liu Wangxue took the three little ones out to pick up Xu Qingsong from get off work, and took a walk before coming back.
After I came back, I found that the yard, kitchen, bungalow living room, and small building were all covered by the machine's perspective.
The two of them looked around, came down from upstairs, and were discussing what to eat for dinner. When Xu Qingsong raised his eyes, he saw the working indicator light of the camera at the door of the living room turned on, and the lens moved. It seemed that he and Liu Wangxue had been successfully captured, and he stood still facing them.
Xu Qingsong suddenly stopped, looked directly at the dark camera, and asked Liu Wangxue: "Are you going to start shooting now?"
Nie Wei flapped her wings and flew over, landing. on camera.
Liu Wangxue stood up with Xiaoci in her arms and looked directly at the camera with Xu Qingsong: "The director team said they want to test the operation of the machine, and it will officially start tomorrow morning."
"Oh," Xu Qingsong nodded, He stretched out his hand to let her come down and jump into his palm, but she didn't want to, so he didn't care anymore, "I'm really not used to it, and I feel like I have nowhere to hide."
Liu Wangxue is really rare to watch. As for him, during those few days in Beijing, cameras were almost everywhere from morning to night, and he never felt this way. He smiled and asked, "Are you nervous?"
"Yes." Xu Qingsong said again nod.
“What should I do?” Liu Wangxue pretended to be distressed.
Xu Qingsong bent over slightly and brought his face close to him, with the obvious meaning: "If you comfort me, I will definitely not be nervous."
Liu Wangxue pinched Xiaoci's paws and made a mark on his cheek. After a moment: "This is the most precious decompression pad in the world. Do you feel better?"
Xu Qingsong turned the other side and said clearly in words: "If it's It would be better if the master can kiss him again."
"Okay," Liu Wangxue smiled and kissed him, "I will fry you another love-poached egg later, and I will make sure it is cooked after eating. There won’t be any tension anymore.”
Xu Qingsong was satisfied and walked out with his arms around her: “But there seems to be no more eggs at home.”
Liu Wangxue: "Then let's pay it forward and do it tomorrow."
Pengpeng followed them, but Niewei didn't come out together. She still stood on the camera, lowering her head and pecked on the left and on the right. Peck, then stretch your head forward, and then go down, trying to peck at the glass of the camera again. Suddenly, the camera lens moved upwards, which startled Niu Wei. She immediately stepped back, her head shrinking.
The camera turned left and right again. It seemed that it failed to capture the little one, so it returned to its original angle and stopped moving.
The enemy was motionless and noisy. It flapped its wings and flew out, shouting as if it was stressed: "Scared the bird to death! Scared the bird to death!"
Xu Qingsong's head He didn’t even reply, he stretched out a hand, and the sound fell firmly into his palm, as if complaining: “I scared the birds to death!”
Guessing what happened, Liu Wangxue laughed at the little parrot: "You deserve it!"
Xu Qingsong touched the head of the parrot: "You are allowed to eat two more bites for dinner to make up for it."
When Xiao Ci heard this, she immediately nuzzled in Liu Wangxue's arms and acted coquettishly: "Meow~" I was also frightened~ I was frightened by this bird~
Pengpeng also came over : "Woof!" And me!
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong laughed: "Okay, both."
In front of the monitor next door, the assistant director asked: "Which camera positions were there just now? Were they all captured?"
The staff said: "They were all captured."
The deputy director was satisfied: "Cut to the main film."
"Okay." The staff wrote it down.
I got up early the next morning and took the three little ones out for a run. The morning breeze was gentle and the sunshine was clear. Looking at the rapeseed fields from near to far, I felt extremely comfortable physically and mentally.
After returning from a walk, the two of them made a simple breakfast together. After eating, they took the three little ones for a walk in the village.
In the past two years, Taojiacun has developed through eco-tourism. Once the rapeseed flowering period in spring is over, summer will be the season of lotus flowers. There were originally many lotus fields here, many of which were connected together. It really echoes the scene of "the endless green lotus leaves reaching the sky" in the ancient poem. In addition to lotus flowers, you can also wait until you encounter fireflies at night.
In autumn, you can launch experience projects. Visitors who come to play can go to the fields to pick lotus roots in person, and the picked ones can be taken home. You can also experience making handmade lotus root starch on the spot.
There are currently no projects in winter and they are yet to be developed.
The video account in the village is still operating. Wang Junpeng has now mastered mobile phone photography, and his editing technology has also advanced by leaps and bounds.
The village’s income has increased, and various infrastructures have also been improved. The most intuitive thing is that wooden plank roads, covered bridges, waterside pavilions, etc. have been built beside the lotus fields, which are specially reserved for tourists to enjoy the shade or take photos.
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong went here for a walk first, with the purpose of achieving publicity through the lens of the program team. I met many tourists on the road and sometimes stopped to chat with them.
Walk through the lotus fields and back to the village, greeting acquaintances as you walk. Just in time for Saturday, there were tourists again, and the village was much more lively than before.
Especially now that everyone sees hope for development, parents like Xiaotao and Haohao are back. During the peak season, some small businesses were run in front of their homes. Some opened farmhouses, while others renovated and renovated their houses and opened B&Bs if their houses were large.
After walking slowly until noon, the two of them stopped by the canteen to buy eggs and then went home to make lunch.
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong generally do not have the habit of taking a nap. After lunch, they went to the sun room on the second floor to sit together, basking in the sun and drinking tea.
The pomegranate tree in the yard is green again, and the grape seedlings in front of the living room of the small building have also climbed up the shelf in the past two years, and they even ate the grapes they produced last year.
Transplanted to the corner of the small building, the waterfall rose willow Nanshan has been carefully maintained in the past two years. Now it has climbed up the wall of the sun room, and the purple-red flowers are blooming in clusters.
The afternoon sun was a bit strong, and Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong were sitting on the swing chair in the corner of Qiangwei, reading a book, swaying, and the three little ones were gathered around the blanket at their feet, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them planned to dig some shepherd's purse in the vegetable field behind and make shepherd's purse dumplings for dinner. After grabbing the basket and hoe, the three little ones followed. When they were about to go out, they met Qinglei's mother at the gate of the courtyard.
Qinglei’s mother also carried a bamboo basket in her hand, which contained some vegetable seedlings. Seeing their posture, I thought Gu Xuelan had already told them, and said cheerfully: "Come on, I'll teach you two. It's very simple. Just dig a hole and throw it in."
Liu Wangxue They looked at each other with Xu Qingsong, and then asked Qinglei's mother: "Aunt? What do you teach? Vegetable growing?"
After asking, he looked at the filming director on the side, thinking about the temporary arrangement?
Looking at their expressions, Qinglei’s mother knew that she had misunderstood: “Xuxu, your mother didn’t call you?”
Liu Wangxue shook his head.
“Hey,” Qinglei’s mother said with a smile, and she lifted the basket in front of them and showed them, “It’s like this, these are all vegetable seedlings, tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, Peppers and eggplants, your parents said they wanted to plant them before, so they asked me to leave some seedlings."
Then Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan went to Beijing with their two children, and they didn't see each other after they went there. return. No, just now Tao Huayu's aunt came to deliver vegetable seedlings, and Qinglei's mother called Gu Xuelan and asked her what to do with the vegetable seedlings.
Gu Xuelan and Liu Nanshan are also thinking about this matter, but they won't be able to come back for a while. Gu Xuelan said to Qinglei's mother: "Then let Xu Xu and Qing Songzhong, they happen to be filming a show, find something to do so that they don't have to do nothing at home."
Qinglei's mother said: "Your mother He also said, what is this called, how to increase the effect of the program hahaha..."
Originally, Gu Xuelan wanted to tell Liu Wangxue and ask her to go to Qinglei's house to get it, but Qinglei's mother was worried that she and Xu Qingsong didn't know how to plant it. .
“Oh, that’s okay,” Liu Wangxue smoothed his sleeves and said to Xu Qingsong, “then go ahead and plant it.”
Xu Qingsong said to Qinglei’s mother, “Then Excuse me, Auntie, we may not be very good at it."
"No trouble, no trouble," Qinglei's mother walked to the vegetable field behind them and asked, "What about you two? What are you going to do?"
Liu Wangxue said: "I want to dig some shepherd's purse and make dumplings at night."
Qinglei's mother told them how to make the buns more delicious.
The soil in Liu Nanshan's vegetable field had been plowed before going to Beijing. It has been sunny recently, so the ground is still soft.
Qinglei’s mother is used to farm work. She holds the hoe in her hand and digs out a deep hole in a few clicks. The vegetable seedlings are pressed in and the soil on the side is pushed away, and they are planted. .
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong followed suit and mastered the essentials within a few strokes.
Qinglei's mother saw that they were fine, so she planned to go back. She also had vegetable seedlings that needed to be planted in the ground. Before leaving, she warned: "After you two finish planting, don't forget to water it. "Through."
Worried that they didn't know what "draining thoroughly" meant, Qinglei's mother asked Xu Qingsong to go back and take out the water pipes and install them on the faucet next to the vegetable field.
When the water pipe was being pulled into the ground, Pengpeng came over to help. He held it in his mouth and ran while pulling it, which was so happy.
Xiao Ci was just like when she first came to the courtyard. She was still too dirty and didn't want to go to the ground, so she stayed on Pangpeng's back. The poor golden retriever had to work and take care of his little brother. Liu Wangxue felt sorry for it and decided to give it extra food in the evening.
Looking at the little one again, the little guy is standing on the rose branch on the wall, instructing his sparrow friends to catch insects for the rose. This is also a job after all.
Qinglei’s mother took a water pipe and watered the newly planted tomato seedlings: “This is the sandy variety. It’s sour and sweet and can be eaten directly as fruit. It’s also the one that Huayu and his aunt follow. Seedlings that others want.”
After the water was poured, he asked Xu Qingsong to turn off the faucet and said: "This level is basically enough. It has been dry recently and it will be difficult to survive without watering it thoroughly."
"Okay." Xu Qingsong and Liu Wangxue agreed and got up to see Qinglei's mother off.
There were not many vegetable seedlings, about twenty of each kind, and it didn’t take long for them to be planted in a small patch of land.
Considering that the ground was relatively wet after watering, they couldn't get down, so the two of them dug up the shepherd's purse they needed for dinner, then watered it as Qinglei's mother had demonstrated, and then put away the water pipe. go home.
While watering, Pengpeng was running wildly in the ground with Xiaoci on his back, and his four paws were covered with mud. Liu Wangxue washed its feet and dried them before washing the shepherd's purse. .
There was also a piece of tenderloin in the refrigerator, so Xu Qingsong took it out and defrosted it in the microwave, then washed his hands and kneaded the noodles. It was just for two people. There wasn't much stuffing, and he didn't need to make too many noodles.
After the noodles were mixed, Liu Wangxue also cut the thawed tenderloin. Xu Qingsong washed his hands, took the knife, and chopped the shepherd's purse and the meat together. After the stuffing was chopped, he went to the dining table to roll out the dumpling wrappers.
Liu Wangxue put the stuffing into the soup bowl, washed the cutting board and knives and hung them up, then mixed the stuffing with seasonings and stirred it a few times. She instantly felt like being fragrant. Confused.
Liu Wangxue took a deep breath into the basin and sighed to Xu Qingsong: "My mouth is watering."
As she said this, she brought it to the dining table and let Xu Qingsong also smelled it: "Is that so?"
Xu Qingsong also took a deep breath: "It's over, the glutton in my stomach is ready to come out." He also praised Liu Wangxue: "It must be that you put the seasoning well, just right, mix it together, and bring out the various levels of fragrance. "It's all exciting."
"That's an exaggeration," Liu Wangxue laughed as she stirred with chopsticks. "If I have to say so, it should be because you chopped the stuffing well, and the particles are even and fine. It gives the condiments room to give full play to themselves."
Xu Qingsong also smiled: "In the final analysis, we work well together!"
Liu Wangxue came over and kissed him on the face: "Reward tacit understanding!"
Xu Qingsong kissed her back: "It's worth double!"
The two looked at each other, and the kitchen was filled with a sweet atmosphere. (End of this chapter)
