Kang Lingyue sat leisurely on the small white sofa, holding the tablet in her left hand, browsing something intently, and swiping up with her right hand.

A quick news is being broadcast on TV, the National Weather Service of the United States released the latest meteorological forecast report, the report said that since the beginning of summer in the equatorial Pacific region, the sea water has warmed abnormally, and the probability of "El Niño" in this region in the second half of this year is increasing.

"I'm not cooking tonight. ”

Wen Baojing walked next to her daughter, didn't look at her daughter, Shi Shiran sat down on the sofa and started watching TV.

"Mom, you're boring like this, we're willing to gamble and lose. Kang Lingyue took her eyes off the flat screen and looked at her mother who had a tendency to regret it very disapprovingly.

"I just don't want to cook for you tonight. Wen Baojing confessed.

"Then go out to eat, or I'll treat you to a good meal and celebrate." ”

Wen Baojing snorted lightly, paused slightly, and asked, "You can go to Vientiane, but whether you are running for counselor of the Academy of Literature and Art or for the president of the student union, don't use my relationship with your father." ”

"Mom, I said you underestimate your daughter too much," Kang Lingyue put the tablet on the table and moved it to her mother's side, "I don't need to blatantly take advantage of my relationship with you at all, Bagua Lou will definitely tell everyone in advance." ”

Wen Baojing was silent, and after about a minute, he turned his head to look at his daughter and asked seriously: "You sue me, why are you in such a hurry to return to China......?"

Kang Lingyue's face changed slightly, and she said a little uncomfortably: "Who did you listen to?"

"You don't care about this, I just know that he is an exchange student in Cambridge and will return to China next year. ”

"Mom, how did you learn to gossip from a famous professor of your generation?"

"What does a mother care about her daughter's affairs have to do with gossip?"

In the United States. It is not uncommon for parents and children to discuss love topics, although Professor Wen is a traditional Oriental woman in her bones, but she has lived in the United States for so long, she has been exposed to it, and her cultivation is transparent and profound, and she is not afraid to talk about relationship issues with her daughter, and even more intimate topics are occasionally involved.

"I'm just ordinary friends with him, well, how can I say it," Kang Lingyue's expression slowly became natural. "At most, it's a little better than ordinary friends, that's all, everyone knows that he and Sun Boya are a couple, do you know Sun Boya?"

"Really?" Professor Wen glanced at his daughter and asked coldly.

"yes. Yesterday I talked about this in the Vientiane international student group, and I saw the photo of Sun Boya. It's really beautiful! It is recognized as the garden flower of all grades in the whole school park. ”

"Don't be sloppy with me. You don't look at who gave birth to you, I know how many intestines you have in your stomach. ”

Kang Lingyue smiled: "Mom, you said the opposite, you definitely don't know how many intestines I have in my stomach, but how many intestines you have in your stomach, I may know, because I have been in your stomach." ”

Wen Baojing was amused by this sentence. Kang Lingyue saw the opportunity to act, and while pinching her mother's shoulder, she changed the topic and said: "Actually, I didn't expect that Liu Jingting to be a genius, don't mention anything else." It's that "The True Story of Ah Q" is a masterpiece, and I'm going to translate it for Professor Dowlanton to see, by the way, I heard that my dad gave him that black fountain pen?"

Wen Baojing nodded.

Kang Lingyue pouted, and said unwillingly but helplessly: "So many people covet Dad's two pens, but they unexpectedly killed Liu Jingting," said with a complicated smile, and continued: "Ye Hao was also so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and directly vowed in the group that he must get that white fountain pen." ”

Wen Baojing said lightly: "He was a little anxious, and there have been enough rewards in this competition, so I said that he is a good man." ”

Kang Lingyue nodded in agreement, staring thoughtfully at the corner of the sofa and was silent, I don't know if she was thinking about Ye Gongzi, who had an excellent family background and her own ability, or whether she was thinking about a literary genius she had never met.

After the mother and daughter were silent for a long time,Kang Lingyue suddenly snuggled into her mother's arms,Said leisurely: "Mom,Actually, I'm so anxious to go back,I want to live a family reunion,I also want to fight for the school park with you and my father。 ”

Wen Baojing gave a gentle "um" and patted her daughter gently, Kang Lingyue continued: "Also, I want to represent Vientiane in the drama competition and shoot the first shot for your academy. ”

"You're going to participate in a drama contest?"

Kang Lingyue nodded solemnly and said: "The script is already being conceived, strive to write a script that can be done within two years, anyway, I will be the first counselor of the college at that time, and I can't escape this matter sooner or later." ”

"Aren't you too confident?"

"Mom, I'll just pick out and tell you, I'm up to this counselor, I'm not interested in the chairman of the student union, let Ye Hao and Sun Boya snatch it, by the way," Kang Lingyue suddenly sat up and asked, "I don't know if that Liu Jingting will ......."

"Being able to write a novel doesn't necessarily mean that you can write a play. ”

Maybe it's because he lost the bet with his daughter, or because he is a talent discovered by his husband, or maybe it's something else, at present, Wen Baojing's impression of Liu Jingting is not particularly ideal.

……

Liu Jingting on the other side of the world was standing under a mulberry tree at this time, looking up at the heavy mulberries on the branches, and then sneezed for no reason, he could never have imagined that there was a mother and daughter talking about him in the distant United States, and he would never have thought that the leader of the Vientiane Academy of Literature and Art that he was going to study already had a grudge against him.

Liu Jingting was about to climb the tree with slippers, when he suddenly heard his mother call his name, reluctantly glanced at the sunlit mulberry, answered loudly, and then turned around and ran home.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

Mother Liu's expression was a little excited, and she said, "Just now, your principal Chen called and said that the director of the education bureau wanted to invite us to dinner. ”

"Oh, just refuse. ”

"No? Your dad has already agreed. ”

"Huh?"

"Don't you, the director of the bureau invited you to dinner, how much face did you refuse? Also, your father works in the cultural station, how can he offend people, you children don't understand anything. ”

Liu Jingting smiled: "Then go eat." ”

The life experience of this life in this life has always made Liu Jingting's characters in some fields always have a sense of distance, and the basic policy is to stay away, but now it seems that this is obviously impossible, his father is a staff member in the system, how to keep a distance?

Before going to the banquet, my parents changed into their most solemn clothes, Liu Jingting didn't want my parents to be embarrassed, put on his school uniform, and before going out, my father told again: "The literati are solid and high, but it is dull to lose the wisdom of life." ”

Liu Jingting understood and said, "Dad, don't worry, I know how to do it." ”

"You don't have other ideas, I was going to look for Director Jin, your aunt's Li Chong's student status problem has not been solved yet, and I have been looking for me several times, and I have been dragging it out, just taking advantage of this dinner to ask in person. ”

Liu Jingting nodded, but secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: "What I am most afraid of is this, all such dinners will never be just simple dinners, both sides must have their own hearts, for the people who go to the banquet, they also have to carry all aspects of expectations and entrustment, the higher the number of guests, the more and heavier the entrustment." ”

So it was a dinner with a foreseeable process and outcome.

The atmosphere is inversely proportional to the food on the table, uncomfortable, restless, and tastes like chewing wax.

Mother Liu didn't talk much, she always had a gentle smile on her face, and when she mentioned Liu Jingting, she would occasionally say a few words, Father Liu was obviously not the first time to face this kind of scene, he coped with it easily, and even mentioned the issue of his cousin Li Chong's school status was a matter of course, all in one go.

Liu Jingting was amazed, and his admiration for his father was another layer in his heart.

That's what it means.

"This little matter," Director Jin said with a smile, "You have cultivated such an excellent child and won glory for the city and even the province, how can I solve this little thing for you." ”

……

After returning from dinner, Mother Liu not only sighed proudly: "If you want to say that we ordinary people, how can we have the opportunity to eat with those big people, it is all because of our small pavilion." ”

Liu Jingting said a few words modestly, but he really didn't know what to say.

Father Liu was relatively calm, and said: "After leaving the dinner table, you must have the mentality that you have never been before, if you treat this meal as a gold medal order, you will definitely regret it, you both must remember, don't promise anything lightly." ”

Liu Jingting nodded sincerely, Liu's mother glanced at her husband and said, "Listen to you." ”

As Liu's father expected, as soon as the family of three returned home, distant relatives and neighbors came to visit, and after greetings, they immediately went straight to the topic, some wanted to transfer their children to school, some wanted to run a cattle farm, and some wanted to contract a fish pond...... There are many kinds of things.

Father Liu replied one by one very helplessly but patiently, and Liu Jingting stood aside with a complicated mood, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

These seemingly farce-like daily routines have caused some trouble to his parents' lives, but they have not had an effective impact on Liu Jingting, and he is now concerned about two other things, first, the script and casting of "Huanzhu Gege", and second, the serialization of "The Great Desert".

In fact, under the joint efforts of Liu Jingting and Zhang Xiao, the script has been completed, and the main line and important scenes are naturally from Liu Jingting's hands, and some classic scenes and some details are also under his guidance, and Zhang Xiao has naturally perfected them.

As for the first round of the battle between "The Great Desert" and "The Scepter of Glory", of course, it ended with Xiang Shuai's complete victory, and everyone's long-awaited pit was finally sprinkled with the first handful of dirt, and Chu Liuxiang and a group of confidantes disappeared collectively!

In addition, in "The Great Desert", the heroic and free Hu Tiehua and the black-bellied Ji Bingyan appeared one after another, and as for the first stunning appearance of the Central Plains, a little red will also start his sublimation road.

Fans of Xiangshuai have already smelled the smell of another feast. (To be continued......)
