"Happy New Year, let's have a drink!"
The Spring Festival is here again, and the New Year's Eve of 2006 was the most deserted New Year's Eve that Kang Qirui ever had. The bosses Guang and Xianglan took Tianyou back to their hometown in southern Henan to celebrate the New Year. The second brother and sister-in-law also took Tiantu Siyu to Tianhe to have a family reunion dinner with Su's father and mother Su. Ayao Xingzi took Zhizi to Shencheng. Anna didn't have time to celebrate the New Year because Azu was busy with movie promotions, so she took Paul back to the United States to visit her parents during the holiday break.
In other words, only Kang Qirui’s family will accompany Old Dou’s mother on New Year’s Eve this year. On this day, Kang Qirui got up early and started busy. He put up Spring Festival couplets for the Kang family and the Zhu family, and went to the market to buy vegetables and prepare dinner.
Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling waited until after 7 o'clock in the evening to invite everyone to dinner. After dinner, everyone came to the living room to watch TV. Kang Qirui said with emotion: "I remember the first few days During the Chinese New Year, Tianxiu and a group of children went out to play, but now they are gone."
"How can it be compared with before? Who can trust their children to go out at night now?" Nai celebrated the New Year with the Kang family as in previous years, and smiled when she heard Kang Qirui's words.
"That's right, the Chinese New Year used to be a Chinese New Year, but now the Chinese New Year is a holiday." Zhu Wanling said this. Kang Qirui glanced at his wife. Anyone can say this, but Zhu Wanling just said that. She hasn't worked for many years. .
After a pause, Kang Qirui said again: "By the way, Lao Dou's mother-in-law, let's go see a movie together tomorrow. Let's support the box office together and take a look at Lao Si's directorial skills. Haha.” Azu’s name is written in the director column of the movie “The Road to Misfortune”. Of course, he is only one of the three directors, and he does more of the logistics work.
Lao Dou’s mother nodded, and Master Zhu had no objection.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after everyone had breakfast, they went out to visit the Flower Street. When I was almost tired from shopping, I went to a nearby movie theater and bought the latest show. "There don't seem to be many people here, Rui. Can this movie make money?" Zhu Shinai asked worriedly when she saw that the movie was about to start but there were only a few people. She had heard from Zhu Wanling before that she had invested more than 7 million yuan in this movie.
"Don't worry, Mom. When you watch it later, you will know how good this movie is, and it will definitely make money." Kang Qirui was not worried at all.
"But look at this, half of the people are not here." Old Dou's mother also said a little worriedly, and Kang Qirui patiently explained: "This is normal, even if it is a super popular movie, its attendance rate will not be It’s very high. And it’s only after 10 o’clock. No one is like this in the morning. Everyone is shopping for breakfast. Okay, don’t worry, the movie has started.”
Zi and Master Zhu looked at each other. Although they stopped talking, they still looked worried. They have seen so much money in their lives, and they are afraid that their son (son-in-law) will suffer a big loss.
On the screen, the movie was officially released. The opening scene shows Li Chenggong, played by Xu Zheng, having a meeting with three employees in a hotel private room. The new year is approaching, and Li Chenggong is preparing to go home after the meeting to celebrate the New Year. Forced by his lover Manny, he planned to divorce his wife after the Chinese New Year.
The scene changes and Niu Geng, played by Wang Baoqiang, appears. He was a milker on the ranch. Because the boss could not receive payment for the goods and could not pay wages, he had no choice but to take the IOU for the payment and prepare to collect the debt.
Two people with completely opposite statuses and personalities met by chance at the airport.
Liquids are not allowed on the plane, but Niu Geng brought a large bucket of milk. In order not to waste it, he drank all the milk. Li Chenggong and the airport security were stunned, and the audience in front of the screen was also stunned.
“What a talent.” Li Chenggong said with emotion on the screen, and the audience in front of the screen also had the same view.
Coincidentally, the two of them were seated in the same row. After drinking too much burdock milk, I felt like vomiting. I shouted to open the window for ventilation and to stop the plane. As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the plane announced that there was heavy snow at the destination, and the flight was canceled and returned to the original route.
Then the two met again on the train. Compared to the orderliness on the plane, the train was almost as busy as a vegetable market. Li Chenggong bought a scalper ticket, and the seat number was the same as Niu Geng's ticket. The two argued endlessly, each saying that the other's ticket was fake.
In the movie "Aunt Yumi", there are three female college students sitting opposite Li Chenggong and Niu Geng. One of them is played by Yumi. Kang Siqi yelled when she saw it, and Zhu Wanling quickly covered her mouth and told her to keep it down.
"Daddy, why is Aunt Yumei here?" Kang Siqi liked Yumei very much, because Yumei would bring small gifts to her and Kang Siyu every time she came back.
"Aunt Yumei likes acting." Kang Qirui whispered to his daughter.
On the train, the burdock's crow's mouth was at work again. A landslide occurred in front of the railway, and all passengers were forced to get off the train and take buses instead. Li Chenggong and Niu Geng got into the same car again, and they encountered another Spring Festival traffic jam. In a hurry, Li Chenggong asked the driver to take a side road. When the road passed through the village, he failed to brake quickly and hit the village chief's wife.
This path was given to Li Chenggong, so he is naturally responsible for it. "I just want money. Tell me, how much do you want?" He took out the banknotes in his wallet. This contemptuous attitude completely annoyed the village chief.
The old village chief shouted, and the whole village rushed over with hammers and hoes, surrounding the car. At the critical moment, Niu Geng rescued the village chief's wife and resolved the crisis. The village chief was grateful to Niu Geng and asked the village tractor to take them to a nearby county. When the two of them bought tickets in the county town and went to buy something to eat, they met a woman kneeling on the roadside begging. She said that her daughter was seriously ill and was lying in the hospital. She wanted to borrow money for treatment and would pay it back the same day.
Niu Geng was kind-hearted and gave all his money to the woman. But Li Chenggong disagreed and even asserted that the woman was a liar.
The two had a big fight and parted ways. Li Chenggong left by car, but the bridge in front collapsed, so he circled around and returned to the same place. It was already late at night, and Niu Geng was left alone at the station.
Li Chenggong looked at him: "How much was given?"
"All the money was given."
"Did they send it back to you?"
The burdock lowered his head.
Seeing this, Li Chenggong sarcastically said: "Don't you know how to read people's eyes? I told you before that she was a liar, but you still didn't believe it and you still quarreled with me. A fool like you deserves to be deceived. !”
Niu Geng turned his head and ignored him. As a result, Li Chenggong became more and more angry.
Niu Geng couldn't help but retorted: "I do! It would be better if I lied! Cheating means that no one is sick, and it is better that no one is sick."
The plot gradually comes to an end, and at the end At that moment, the two met the "female liar" again. They chased her to her home and found that she was adopting orphans.
What she said that day about a child being seriously ill in the hospital was true. The only lie was that she had no ability to pay back the money. Before leaving, Li Chenggong stuffed all the cash in his child's schoolbag.
The two spent New Year's Eve in the wilderness. Looking back on the hardships along the way and the people or things they met along the way, they were greatly touched in their lives. In the end, as the two went from strangers to becoming friends, Niu Geng's sincerity also changed Li Chenggong's cold personality, arousing Li Chenggong's return to true love, and finally broke up with Xiao San and returned to the family.
Comedy movie, happy ending!
After everyone walked out of the cinema, they went to a restaurant for lunch. While eating, Kang Qirui said: "How was it? Is the movie okay? Don't worry, you won't lose money."
Zhu Shinai felt relieved after watching the movie. She not only watched the movie carefully but also observed the audience's reactions. She found that many viewers laughed at least 10 times during the whole movie. With such enthusiastic reactions, she could naturally I understand that this movie cannot be a loss.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Brother Niu was the first person to come to Kang's house to pay New Year's greetings. "Brother Niu, happy New Year. Wait, sit down, what have you been busy with recently?" Kang Qirui greeted, while Zhu Wanling was making tea aside.
"I have been busy looking at houses recently. I can't live anywhere. I thought that instead of finding another house to rent, I might as well buy one myself." Brother Niu said after sitting down.
“It’s good to buy a house.” Kang Qirui always advises everyone to buy a house when they have money. He then asked: “Did you rent the house before? Then why don’t you buy yours? I’m living in a villa.” After the Kang family bought a villa in Shuiwei, Brother Niu also bought one next to it.
Brother Niu waved his hand and said with a smile: "That place is so far away, it's so inconvenient to live there. I'm lazy and I just like this area of Xiguan, so I bought one near you years ago. A flat with three bedrooms and two living rooms cost 450,000. I signed the contract on the spot when I saw how cheap it was. I paid the 450,000 in one lump sum.”
“Three bedrooms in Xiguan. Two living rooms only cost more than 400,000? "Kang Qirui often buys houses. There are only four years left before the purchase restriction order is issued. He seizes the time to buy a house with Zhu Wanling as soon as he has money. Therefore, he had no idea about the market price. He frowned and said, "Is there any problem with this house? Brother Niu, do you understand it clearly?"
"I went to see the house on site and signed the contract. What's the problem? Maybe they are in a hurry for money?" Brother Niu said confidently without any worry. (End of this chapter)
