Meng Zhe returned to the hotel where he stayed alone when it was almost dark.

"Meng Jiji is a big fool, Sister Yingluo's food is delicious, right?"

Jiang Xiyao, who found that Meng Zhe was back, took her eyes off the TV and glanced at him, and said this in a slightly jealous tone.

Jiang Weirui was also there, because there was heating in the house, the little girl was sitting on the sofa in a nightdress and holding a drawing board and was drawing something, so she was so focused that Jiang Weirui didn't even notice Meng Zhe's return.

"Well, it's very delicious, especially the chicken stew with mushrooms......"

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe actually nodded with a smile, and then replied like this.

"Humph!"

So, Jiang Xiyao glared at Meng Zhe, turned her head and continued to watch TV and ignored him. In TV, the rebroadcast of the second season of "Sword of Immortals" is being broadcast, although Yanjing TV and CCTV have not yet purchased the broadcast rights of "Sword of Immortals", but Hebei, which is next to Yanjing, is one of the TV stations that has purchased the right to broadcast TV.

Although he was despised by his sister-in-law, Meng Zhe's mood was still very good, he hummed a little song and walked to the sofa in a few steps, and then sat down beside Jiang Weirui with a cheeky face.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that her sister-in-law didn't look back to watch TV, Meng Zhe secretly held Jiang Weirui's little hand, so that Jiang Weirui had to stop painting.

Jiang Weirui, who was attacked and ate tofu, was frightened at first, and only calmed down again after realizing that the person holding her little hand was Meng Zhe. Afraid that she would be held by Meng Zhe, Jiang Weirui, who was discovered by her sister, whispered: "Meng Zhe, let it go......"

Will Meng Zhe let go?

Just kidding, this kind of golden opportunity to stay away from his parents and parents-in-law, so Emperor Tiangao is far away from eating tofu and wood, and Meng Zhe will let go - blame Shu Xiao, and there is also a persistent drop.

As for the sister-in-law...... Don't worry, since this girl learned the truth about the goblin fight, she turned a blind eye to the occasional little hand between Meng Zhe and her sister.

Of course, although he was very appreciative of his sister-in-law's attitude, Meng Zhe still didn't understand what his sister-in-law was thinking.

In this way, Meng Zhe held Jiang Weirui's little hand with a dead face, and babbled to his future wife, who was red-faced, and took the initiative to explain what he saw and heard at Guan Yingluo's grandmother's house.

I won't talk to the two old men, and then when it was almost time to eat, the 'master of the interior' surnamed Song hurriedly walked to Vice Premier Zhu and whispered a few words, and Vice Premier Zhu, who listened to the whisper, said apologetically to Meng Zhe Suddenly there was an emergency to deal with...... However, just a few minutes after Vice Premier Zhu left, Guan Yingyang's guy didn't know which corner he came out of, and he caught up with his grandmother who originally ordered the cook to cook a sumptuous dinner for Guan Yingluo and Meng Zhe.

In Meng Zhe's opinion, although Guan Yingyang is not on the right track with him, he is full of filial piety in front of his grandmother, at least he didn't make trouble with him in front of his grandmother.

Of course, because Guan Yingluo only gave vegetables to his grandmother and Meng Zhe, but did not give him his brother vegetables, Guan Yingyang, who did not have an awkward relationship with Meng Zhe, also glared at Meng Zhe - that look was comparable to a deep resentful woman.

Guan Yingyang's resentment Meng Zhe naturally turned a blind eye, and after eating comfortably, Meng Zhe politely said goodbye to Guan Yingluo's grandmother.

"Strange...... Sister Yingluo, why did you take Meng Jiji to meet his grandmother? Where are her mom and dad? ”

Meng Zhe had just finished explaining everything honestly, and Jiang Xiyao, who didn't twist his head during the whole process, and his eyes had been falling on the TV, suddenly interjected such a sentence.

Uh-huh?

Meng Zhe blinked, to be honest, he really hadn't thought about this problem - because, in Meng Zhe's subconscious, Guan Yingluo's mother seemed to have something wrong, so she was recuperating in a Taoist temple, so it was normal that she didn't appear?

However, just like the question raised by sister-in-law Jiang Xiyao, even if Guan Yingluo's mother is not here, where did her father go?

It's weird...... During the meal, not only did Guan Yingluo not mention this question, but Guan Yingyang's guy and their brother and sister's grandmother, who were dressed simply but had a graceful and luxurious temperament, also did not mention her son and daughter-in-law!

Meng Zhe was a little confused, but he thought about it for a while, maybe Guan Yingluo's father was out of town, so he was relieved.

And Meng Zhe, who was relieved, casually explained two sentences with Jiang Xiyao, the curious baby's sister-in-law. As for Guan Yingluo's mother, who may be ill, so what kind of Taoist temple to recuperate, Meng Zhe will definitely not say.

At this time, the originally closed door was suddenly opened from the outside, and Kong Lan pushed Kong Zhang, who was in a wheelchair, and walked in...... "When did Xiao Zhe come back?" Have you had dinner? ”

Kong Lan, who found out that Meng Zhe had returned, opened his mouth and asked.

"I just came back for a while, and I have eaten!"

Meng Zhe hurriedly replied, and let go of Jiang Weirui's small hand that he had been holding.

"Hmm...... That's good. Kong Lan nodded, but then after she pushed Kong Zhang's wheelchair to Jiang Xiyao and stopped, she gave Meng Zhe a look of 'something to discuss'.

Uh-huh?

What to talk about? Can't you let these three little guys know?

Meng Zhe understood Kong Lan's eyes, although he was very puzzled about what Kong Lan wanted to talk to him about.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

With this doubt, Meng Zhe said, and then got up and walked in the direction of the bathroom in the luxury room.

After Meng Zhe went for a while, Kong Lan also got up and walked in the direction where the bathroom was located - the two big loli and Kong Zhang of the Jiang family did not have any suspicions, because there were two reading toilets in the bathroom.

When Kong Lan pushed open the door of the bathroom, he saw Meng Zhe waiting quietly.

"Sister Lan, what's the matter?"

Meng Zhe, who consciously guessed correctly, opened his mouth and asked.

"Xiao Zhe, this year's Spring Festival Gala has set up three party scenes in Yanjing, Shanghai, and Xi'an, do you know?"

Kong Lan frowned slightly, and said this sentence that Meng Zhe did not expect at all.

"You know? What happened to Sister Lan? ”

Of course Meng Zhe knows about this, and this is also a big gimmick of this year's Spring Festival Gala, because he and Kong Lan are going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, how could Meng Zhe not know?

"The chief director of today's Spring Festival Gala suddenly came to tell me that because the lyrics of "Sword and Fairy Love" are too focused on describing love, they can't go to the Spring Festival Gala in Yanjing, and they will be changed to the Spring Festival Gala in Xi'an!"

Speaking of this matter, Kong Lan is obviously in a bad mood, who will be in a good mood for this kind of thing?

"The lyrics are too focused on describing feelings?" Meng Zhe's eyes widened in surprise: "Sun! What kind of bullshit excuse is this?! If they hadn't called to invite them, and swore that the show would definitely go to the Spring Festival Gala, and it would never be brushed down in the rehearsal, what would we do if we put down our work and come to the Spring Festival Gala? With this space, it's better for us to roll around at home than to suffer here, right?! No matter how bad it is, Lao Tzu is also up and down ten yuan a minute, and when he comes to Yanjing, he sticks ten yuan a minute......"

Meng Zhe is not a three-year-old child, how could he not see that what the director said to Kong Lan was an excuse at all, so Meng Zhe continued angrily: "Sister Lan, let's go home and don't play with these calves!" ”

Go to the branch venue of Bird Feather!

A few days ago, the last rehearsal with makeup for the Spring Festival Gala was held at the main venue of Yanjing, and "Sword and Fairy Love" sung by Kong Lan has obviously entered the final program list!

It's now the twentieth day of the lunar month, and this kind of decision is made at this time, and the blind can see that this is Cheng Cheng is driving people away.

Meng Zhe is not a good gentleman, so if he doesn't get angry and angry, then there is a problem...... "Xiao Zhe, the problem is that I can go, but you can't go." ”

At this time, Kong Lan shook his head gently.

"I can't go? What can't I go? ”

Meng Zhe was stunned, he couldn't think of anything he couldn't go, because the cartoon mouse painting he drew to congratulate the New Year had already been framed and handed over, and it would be displayed by the host of the Spring Festival Gala at that time...... Therefore, in terms of the degree of freedom to come and go, Meng Zhe belongs to the family who can leave if he wants to go, and stay if he wants to.

"Yes, you can't go. Because the director said that when the time comes, you will personally show the cartoon mouse picture of the New Year celebration to the people of the whole country. ”

Kong Lan said, she actually couldn't understand why the director team of the Spring Festival Gala made such two strange decisions.

"Do they all hurt...... Take out your show, Sister Lan, and let me go up and show the cartoon picture, what is this? A slap in the face for a sweet date? ”

Meng Zhe continued angrily, it doesn't matter if he can't get on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he just doesn't fall in for this messy practice of eating the preface - since he is going to watch Sister Lan's "Fairy Sword Love" now, then don't do that kind of show in the first place to guarantee that it will definitely go to the Spring Festival Gala? !

"Xiao Zhe, don't you understand?"

At this time, Kong Lan gently pinched Meng Zhe's cheek, and then said softly.

"Can't understand what?"

Meng Zhe, who was huffing, let Kong Lan pinch his face, because this kind of intimate behavior could calm his mood a little.

"Xiao Zhe, if my sister I guessed correctly, someone ...... You want to move us. Probably because of Meng Zhe's non-resistance, Kong Lan simply spread out his palm to cover half of Meng Zhe's cheek, and then continued: "I asked someone to inquire, and it seems that someone put pressure on the director team of the Spring Festival Gala, so originally my song and your cartoon New Year's comics would have been removed." But it is said that before the director of the Spring Festival Gala came to talk to me, it seems that some high-level leader called him......"

"Huh?"

Meng Zhe was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't understand what Kong Lan was talking about at all?

Since someone wants to move Kong Lan and him, they want to take out Kong Lan and his Spring Festival Gala program...... But what will it end up like this? If a high-level leader calls the director of the Spring Festival Gala, shouldn't Sister Lan's program also be retained? How could he be assigned to the branch venue in Xi'an? And let yourself stay in the main venue, not to mention, you have to go up and present a painting in person?

These things involve intrigues, Meng Zhe, a strange uncle who just draws comics and abducts his wife, is strange if he can understand it.

"Heh, don't you understand, brother Xiaozhe?"

Kong Lan naturally saw Meng Zhe's doubts, so she said with a smile, and Meng Zhe naturally nodded again and again.

"It's very simple, the person who called the director of the Spring Festival Gala just called for you, and I have nothing to do with my sister. Or, the high-level leader who called can only keep you...... Do you understand that? ”

Obviously, Kong Lan has basically guessed the stakes in this matter.

“…… It seems to understand but not understand. ”

Meng Zhe replied that he was in his thirties before he was reborn, although he spent most of his time at home drawing comics or something, but he still knew something about interpersonal relationships in society after all - personal experience is one thing, and reading novels involving officialdom is another.

In Meng Zhe's mind, the meaning of Sister Lan's words is about the person who called, and she doesn't know her but only Meng Zhe, so what will happen to Kong Lan has nothing to do with the caller, but if Meng Zhe is also kicked out of the venue of the Spring Festival Gala, it will touch the caller's bottom line.

In other words, the network compiled by Kong Lan could not keep her qualification to stay on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, but a certain high-level leader that Meng Zhe didn't know made a simple phone call to make Meng Zhe, who was originally just going to be a spectator of the Spring Festival Gala, not only not be kicked out of the venue, but also be qualified to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to present cartoons...... When he thought of this, Meng Zhe began to have a headache, sure enough, officialdom is not mixed by ordinary people, and those who can mix to the top are second-class people with eighteen bends in their stomachs!

But one thing is certain, that is, Meng Zhe and Kong Lan seem to have become a battlefield for some high-level leaders to fight each other.

Anyone who has read martial arts novels will probably know that sometimes the master will inject his internal strength into the body of a certain soy sauce supporting character, and then use the body of this poor 'soy sauce supporting character bento character' as a competitive ring.

The current situation is exactly like this, the only difference is that he and Kong Lan are used as rings, it seems to be three forces - Kong Lan's relationship network, a high-level person who hugged him Meng Zhe, and an unknown person who tried to move him and Kong Lan.

"Hell! Who are we messing with?! ”

On this kind of thing, Meng Zhe can be happy, then there is a problem, he asked himself is just a low-key man who has earned some money to support his family by relying on the golden finger of the reborn and the golden finger that will be struck by lightning if he does not take it!

"Heh, the ancients said that the wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind, which probably refers to this kind of thing now. Xiao Zhe, don't you understand, it's a mediocrity not to attract envy......"

Although his actual age is actually younger than Meng Zhe, Kong Lan's performance is much calmer and more stable than Meng Zhe, who was an otaku in his previous life.

"It's mediocre not to attract envy?"

Meng Zhe was stunned for a moment, because these words made him involuntarily think that when he talked to Vice Premier Zhu in the afternoon, Vice Premier Zhu seemed to have said this to him.

What did Vice Premier Zhu say at that time?

Hmm, remembering it, he said, "Well, this is an exploration of the way out of our Chinese domestic animation." Do a good job, kid, don't be afraid that someone will say anything about what you do, because ...... Not to be envied is mediocrity. ”

Don't be afraid of what people say about what you're doing?

Say three, say four?

Could it be ...... In fact, when I was talking to myself, Vice Premier Zhu already had something going to happen, so he would say such words to encourage me?

Meng Zhe's heart suddenly stirred, no matter how low his political wisdom was, he could ask a little bit at this time-the so-called fool's thousand worries also have a point, isn't it?

So, Meng Zhe hurriedly told Kong Lan about his conversation with Vice Premier Zhu.

"Xiao Zhe, you mean that Vice Premier Zhu first asked about the production of cartoons, and then said these words?"

After listening to Meng Zhe's words, Kong Lan asked thoughtfully.

"Well, that's it!"

Meng Zhe nodded and replied, isn't that the truth.

After getting Meng Zhe's affirmative answer, Kong Lan's originally slightly frowning brows were completely wrinkled together, and she took a deep breath before saying, "Xiao Zhe, I'm afraid we're in big trouble." Somebody, want to talk about the cartoon we made......"

Although he was born in Taiwan and grew up overseas, he has only worked hard in China for two or three years, and Kong Lan already has political wisdom that is many times higher than that of Meng Zhe, a reborn otaku.

"What?!"

Meng Zhe was taken aback, because he really never dreamed of this kind of thing! In the past, when "Anime Boy" was just created, although there was a crisis that was considered a bad publication by parents, it was completely from the grassroots level, so after using the big killer of public opinion control, I easily got through the difficulties and turned the danger into a disaster.

But in the current situation, it is obvious that there are upper-class people who want to move themselves! In an era of peace, how powerful and powerful would this kind of person who could resist the high-level leaders and suppress Kong Lan and even the entire Confucian family weave a network of relationships in the interior...... Powerful?!

But after being shocked, Meng Zhe's mood immediately turned into anger - I your ancestor! Lao Tzu, the animation I made, although the real purpose is just to make money to support the family and make a future wife, but in terms of production, I put a sentence on the words of the book, that is, I gambled everything on my own, and made the best cartoon with my best efforts. Moreover, in terms of content, I have also carried out many times, and all the content that may lead to be 'harmonious' I have modified or made spring and autumn strokes, in order not to have this kind of thing, how can anyone want to come to me for trouble now?!

Damn it! Damn it!! Hell !!

I have to force me to do "Big Head Son Little Head Dad", and then wait until the rapid development of online video technology, and the children who have a little choice will go to the Internet to watch this anime and even watch American comics, are you guys comfortable?!

Meng Zhe doesn't understand, although he does have the selfish desire to make profits to support his family when he is doing these comics and animations, but he is really also doing to support local comics and animations, and he really wants to see that he doesn't need to rely on the golden finger of the reborn to paste and copy, and there can be more excellent domestic comics and animations that can't be watched!

Is this even the thought...... Is that wrong?

You can't be selfless, but it's not right to try to balance public and private interests?

Meng Zhe, who was angry, clenched his fists and smashed his fist next to the mirror, making a bang.

And Meng Zhe's angry action startled Kong Lan, she pulled back Meng Zhe's hand with great worry, and then turned over her palm to see the back of Meng Zhe's hand that smashed the wall. Because of the excessive force, the knuckles of Meng Zhe's fingers that he smashed against the wall were broken in several places, and when Kong Lan looked at it, red blood had oozed out.

"Xiao Zhe, what are you doing here! Even if you are angry, you should never do this kind of thing that hurts yourself! ”

Looking at the wound on Meng Zhe's finger joint, Kong Lan said with great heartache that she wanted to press Meng Zhe's wound with her hand to stop the bleeding, but she was afraid that there were bacteria on her hand that would cause Meng Zhe's wound to be infected again, so the fingers stretched out to the back of Meng Zhe's hand moved but moved again.

"Sister Lan is fine, I heard you say just now that someone is going to attack our cartoons, and I can't control myself when I'm angry. It's just a little bit of skin......"

It's just that before Meng Zhe finished speaking, Kong Lan had already made a move that made him have to stop talking-Kong Lan suddenly reversed his palm, and then gently, gently took Meng Zhe's tattered finger into his mouth.

First the index finger, then the middle finger, then the ring finger...... When she held each of Meng Zhe's fingers, Kong Lan would use her warm tongue to lick Meng Zhe's wounds twice with extremely gentle movements.

While doing these actions, Kong Lan looked at Meng Zhe's eyes, and the gentleness was incomprehensible...... Meng Zhe wanted to withdraw his hand back, but somehow his body went against his will, but completely stretched his fingers to 'enjoy' Kong Lan's healing movements.

"When I was a child, when my finger broke, my mom did the same for me, and she said that saliva has a very good bactericidal effect."

Kong Lan, who had finally completed all the healing actions, looked at Meng Zhe's injured fingers with great satisfaction compared to just now, and there was not much blood oozing out. It's just that in his heart, Kong Lan is also secretly blaming himself - what's wrong with me? Obviously, he should have taken Xiao Zhe out to find alcohol, band-aids and Yunnan Baiyao, how could he suddenly do such a thing.

It's just that before Kong Lan secretly blamed himself, Meng Zhe, who was already almost as tall as her, suddenly opened his arms and hugged her.

"Sister Lan, you are so good!"

Meng Zhe, who hugged Kong Lan tightly, was full of emotion - whether he was reborn or now, he has always been an only child, this time he really really felt what the word 'sister' meant.

Kong Lan, who was hugged by Meng Zhe, stiffened at first, but then slowly relaxed again, she pulled out her arms and put them on Meng Zhe's shoulders, and didn't say anything but patted Meng Zhe twice on the back.

The kind of secret self-blame just now has been forgotten by Kong Lan to the clouds, and at this moment she just feels that her heart is full - Xiao Zhe, this younger brother, is really an unconscious child, he is so childish when he is so adult.

"Sister Lan, I'll go and tell the director of the Spring Festival Gala tomorrow that if he dares to cancel your show, then I will refuse to go on stage to present that cartoon mouse New Year's picture!"

And Meng Zhe, who had completely calmed down, put his mouth to Kong Lan's delicate earlobe while smelling Kong Lan's faint fragrance.

Although his ears were a little itchy because of the heat when Meng Zhe spoke, after hearing what Meng Zhe said clearly, Kong Lan hurriedly turned his head sideways and said, "Xiao Zhe, you must not do this, there is no benefit in doing so!" It's just going to make people think you're playing a child's temper......"

"Is a child grumpy?" Behind Kong Lan's invisible, Meng Zhe showed a determined look, and he continued in an almost word-by-word tone: "Sister Lan, don't say it, I have already decided this matter!" I'm still a kid, so what's wrong with having a child's temper once in a while? If you can let those guys who use us as a fighting ring, I, a child, will never sit back and watch Sister Lan and you be bullied, and whoever dares to bully Sister Lan, I will dare to fight to the death! Scold...... It's a big deal, I don't draw comics in China! When I go to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Ben, I can't get food anywhere if I rely on the things in my head that are more than 20 years old in this era?! Hum...... I'm Sister Lan, your sister! So don't let me know who is behind the scenes and wants to move you! Sooner or later, they'll turn their bowels green! ”

Somehow, hearing Meng Zhe in his ear, all these words were childlike words, Kong Lan suddenly felt warm and warm in his heart...... Her nose was sore, and her eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist.

"Xiao Zhe, when you grow up, you will protect your sister."

forcibly endured the tears of joy that he didn't let himself shed, but Kong Lan, who held his arms tightly and hugged Meng Zhe in his arms, couldn't hold back after all, and whispered these happy words in Meng Zhe's ear.

Heh——, sister, I'm right, Xiao Zhe is really a child who values love and righteousness and knows how to feel sorry for people.

It's very reassuring, and this feeling is really reassuring!

If...... No, it can't be.

(To be continued)
