"Yuquan, thank you for the gift, this bag called LV and this bottle of perfume called Chanel are not cheap!"

On the day of the reunion dinner on the 28th day of the lunar calendar, Lin Yuquan's second uncle, third uncle, aunt and other close relatives all came to the house, and the family became extremely lively for a while.

While everyone was chatting, Lin Yuquan also took out the gifts he prepared for the elders and several younger siblings in a timely manner, including the second uncle, the third uncle, the little uncle, two cousins, and a cousin, the elders were given Rolex watches, the younger brothers were given Omega watches, and the second aunt, third aunt, aunt, and a cousin and a cousin were given LV bags and Chanel perfumes.

"Mom, of course it's not cheap, LV and Chanel are both world famous brands, the LV bag that Brother Yuquan gave us is at least tens of thousands, and this small bottle of perfume is also thousands, and Brother Yuquan gave his dad Their Rolex and Omega are also famous brands in watches, at least tens of thousands!" Lin Miaolin, the daughter of Lin Yuquan's third uncle, said with a full spirit.

"Oh, this is too expensive, there is no need to give such expensive gifts between family members, don't be so expensive in the future." The third aunt couldn't put it down, stroked the LV bag in her hand, and said with a smile.

"Yes, Yuquan, the gift is about the heart, forget it this time, remember not to give such a valuable gift next time, especially to your younger brothers and sisters, several of them are still students, at school, carrying such an expensive bag, wearing such an expensive watch, the impact is not good." The second uncle said earnestly.

Lin Yuquan's second uncle is in the medicinal herb business, although he is not a rich man, but he also has a net worth of millions, he is strict, and his cousin's pocket money from childhood to adulthood is given according to the standards of ordinary classmates in the class, for fear of developing the habit of spending money lavishly.

"Dad, third aunt, you don't want Brother Yuquan to give you gifts, and don't get involved with a few of us!" Lin Zhanlong, the cousin of Lin Yuquan's second uncle's family, who was in his second year of college, immediately said with resentment.

"Stinky boy, you have a sè temperament. Don't I know yet? When you get such a valuable gift, you will definitely not be able to help but show off in front of your classmates, I can tell you, if you kid dares to show off your watch in front of your classmates. I'll confiscate it and won't allow you to wear it until you get home from vacation. The second uncle glared at him and scolded.

"Got it! Got it! I knew it was going to happen. Hearing the second uncle say this, Lin Zhanlong, who had a lively and active personality, suddenly said weakly.

"The second brother is right, there is no need to buy such expensive gifts for the children. Otherwise, their tails would not reach up to the sky. The third uncle ignored the third aunt's eyes and said in agreement.

"Oh." Hearing her father say the same, Lin Miaolin, who was full of spirit before, immediately let out a wail, knowing that she would never want to receive Brother Yuquan's expensive gifts in the future, and sure enough, Brother Yuquan heard in her ears afterwards, "Okay, I'll pay attention in the future." The voice of the words.

Lin Yuquan said this not out of perfunctory, but from the bottom of his heart, he really felt that he was not thoughtful in this regard, it was nothing to give such an expensive gift to the elders, but to give such an expensive gift to a few younger brothers and sisters in school. If you don't get it right, it's easy for them to breed the vanity of comparison, which is not good.

"That's what I should do, or others might accuse me of being corrupt!" Lin Yuquan's little uncle, who works in the government, also joked.

The sister-in-law's words made everyone in the room laugh, even if Lin Zhanlong and Lin Miaolin were depressed, they were also happy.

"Oh, by the way, Yuquan, you see that our family Zhanbo is about to graduate from college, he is studying accounting, can you let him work in your company after graduation? He's always wanted to work at your studio. The third aunt said eagerly.

Lin Yuquan's third uncle has two children. Because the third uncle married the third aunt after graduating from high school, although the third uncle is three years younger than the second uncle, Lin Zhanbo, the eldest of his family, seems to be the eldest in the old Lin family except Lin Yuquan.

"It's Dawning Films." Lin Zhanbo glanced at the third aunt dissatisfied.

"Yes, Aurora Films. He told me many times about your glorious deeds in Yuquan, but I forgot so much that I didn't remember it. The third aunt said with a smile.

"Oh, Zhanbo, do you want to go to work at my Dawn Movie?" Lin Yuquan's eyes fell on Lin Zhanbo, who had rarely spoken since he entered the house.

"Yes, Brother Yuquan. I love movies, Aurora Films is the best film company in the country, I have always been curious about Aurora Films, and I want to work in it. Lin Zhanbo looked at Lin Yuquan with hot eyes and said.

"Yuquan, it's all my own family, I think Zhanbo's kid is very motivated, if you can arrange it, you can arrange it!" Lin Mu said loudly.

"Mom, I know." Lin Yuquan nodded, looked at Lin Zhanbo, and said with a smile: "Zhanbo, you are my cousin, of course I welcome you to work at Shuguang Film, but you should know that a company must have its own operating system, although you are my cousin, but you will not receive any special care in Shuguang Film, wrong is wrong, right is right, wrong, you will inevitably be punished equally, you need to fully understand your own efforts in order to get the opportunity to be promoted, can you do it?" ”

"Brother, I can, I'll do my best." Lin Zhanbo said in a firm tone.

Seeing this situation, Lin Yuquan showed a smile on his face, he still knew something about this cousin, he was down-to-earth and diligent when he was a child, which was reassuring.

"Okay, you arrange your academic things, and then enter the Shuguang Film Distribution Department to do things, be careful, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will find that it is not so difficult to achieve success."

"Cousin, I actually like movies too, do you think I have the potential to be a movie actor? I want to apply for the acting major at the Kyoto Film Academy the year after that, and then I will act in movies like my cousin. Aunt Lin Yuquan's Ye Mengmeng, who was in her first year of high school, suddenly said timidly, her snow-white and delicate face as white as ivory was full of longing.

"What are you thinking about kid, are movie stars so good? You girl doesn't even have the courage to talk to strangers, how to act in movies, honest study is serious, strive to be admitted to a good university when the time comes, and after graduation, like your cousin Zhanbo, go to work in your cousin's company in Yuquan, girl, how good it is to work steadfastly. Aunt Wang Li scolded.

"Ugh." Under the scolding of her aunt Wang Li, Ye Mengmeng immediately lowered her head, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, unlike his cousin Lin Miaolin, who was lively and rebellious, his cousin had a very introverted personality, and he was so introverted. As soon as she talks to someone she doesn't know, she immediately speaks stupid, blushes, and her gaze drifts.

"Auntie, don't say that, Mengmeng's appearance conditions are actually good. It's not that there is no possibility of being an actor, it's just that her personality is too introverted, so after lunch, I'll give her a few acting questions. See if she has acting talent, if she has acting talent, there is actually a chance. Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Brother Yuquan, what about me, is there any possibility for me to become a star?" Lin Miaolin said excitedly.

"Linlin, your words, I remember that your singing and dancing talent is still good, as for whether you can become a star, just like Mengmeng, after lunch, I will investigate you."

I chatted with everyone again. Lin Yuquan went into the kitchen and began to be busy, and he cooked the New Year's dinner at noon today.

In fact, he originally built yì to eat in a restaurant, because the space at home is small, and it is complicated to cook with many people, so it saves time, effort and worry when he goes to a restaurant to eat.

However, Mother Lin thinks that going back to their respective homes after eating the New Year's dinner in the restaurant is like a routine, and there is no warm atmosphere of fighting, nagging, and laughing at home.

And after listening to Lin Mu's words, Lin Yuquan was silent for a moment, indeed, everyone is usually from all over the world. There is only one chance for relatives and friends to get together for a reunion dinner every year, and the opportunity is very rare, if you eat at home, you can have a good chat before and after the meal. There are many people at home, and the house is also lively.

After the silence, Lin Yuquan expressed his support for Lin's mother's idea of eating at home, but he only said that he would cook by himself. It's very hard, and since he has the ability to share this qiē for Lin Mu, of course he doesn't want Lin Mu to be as tired and half dead as in previous years.

Under Lin Yuquan's busyness, it didn't take too long for a delicious dish to fill the table, as for the result, there was nothing to say, everyone who had never eaten his cooking just didn't bite off their tongues, plus this was another New Year's dinner, a lunch was naturally very lively, and they were very happy.

After lunch, Lin Yuquan just cleaned up the dining table, and at the urging of his cousin Lin Miaolin, he inspected her and Ye Mengmeng, and the results of the inspection surprised him.

Among them, Meng Meng has a good acting talent, if she can open up her personality and overcome the defect of being cramped and nervous in front of strangers, she may be able to embark on the road of being an actress as she wishes.

And Linlin has the possibility of taking the amphibious route of singer and actor, unlike the crisp children's voice that Lin Yuquan heard a few years ago, at this time the girl already has a more proficient timbre condition, this Nizi's timbre belongs to the sweeter kind, with her sweet appearance and shape, she is a sweet girl, similar to the mainland singer Jin Sha, who has developed quite well in recent years, in addition, this Nizi's acting talent is actually not bad, and she can sing and act like the Twins group.

After the accident, Lin Yuquan immediately told the third uncle and aunt the results of the investigation, and they allowed the second daughter to use other time to study some acting or music courses in addition to studying. Considering that the economic conditions of the two of them are not very good, he also took the initiative to sponsor the second daughter's study expenses in this regard.

This result undoubtedly surprised others, and later, the two cousins who were greatly stimulated by the second daughter, and a cousin asked Lin Yuquan to examine whether they had the potential to become actors and singers.

After dinner, the second uncle, the third uncle and others said goodbye and left one after another, and it was not until this time that Lin Yuquan, who had been busy all day, finally calmed down.

"Yuquan, I've really worked hard for you today." Mother Lin handed a cup of hot tea to Lin Yuquan.

"No, Mom, when it comes to hard work, you are hard work! You have worked hard for more than 20 years, and from now on, you will leave everything to me for the New Year's dinner and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Lin Yuquan smiled, then took a sip of tea and put the teacup down.

"Okay, in fact, it's hard work, it's hard work, it's not hard work, as long as you see everyone eating happily, all the hard work is worth it, and I don't feel hard at that time." Mother Lin smiled.

"Yes, I feel that way too." Lin Yuquan smiled: "Dad, Mom, I have an idea, I think we should buy a house." ”

"Buying a house. Why do you think this way? This time, Father Lin did not directly shake his head to refuse, but asked suspiciously, and Mother Lin on the side also looked at Lin Yuquan with puzzled eyes.

"Dad, Mom, today the second uncle and they came to the house for the New Year's dinner, you also saw it, because there are too many people, there is almost no space in the living room at home, and this is only this year. After my younger siblings and I get married and have children, we will have a reunion dinner at that time, and I will definitely not be able to eat at home, so I can only go to a restaurant outside to order food. This is one of them.

Second, in the community where our family lives, the residents are mainly teachers' families, because of my identity, our family has been virtually separated from other families. It's normal to get along like before, and there are a lot of people here, so it's not convenient for me to come in and out.

Third, your son and I are not an ordinary director, with my current net worth, if your parents continue to live here, people who know will say that it is your own wishes, but there will definitely be more people who think that I am not filial, so I am not willing to buy a better house for your two elders, I think. You don't want me to be an unfilial son in the mouths of countless people! Saying this, Lin Yuquan had a smile on his face.

"You kid." Mother Lin shook her head with a smile, and then sighed and said to Father Lin: "Old man, what do you think? I think what my son said makes sense, and you must have noticed that since my son was on the Forbes list of China's richest people last year, it is obvious that everyone has become very weird when talking to us, and they always ask why we still live here. ”

Father Lin nodded, he didn't agree to his son's mention at the beginning, because he was used to living here with Mother Lin. There are many acquaintances and friends, but as his son's career becomes more and more successful, the eyes of the people around him look at them more and more differently, and at the same time, it becomes more and more inconvenient for his son to live here.

If he chose to continue teaching at the university. He may be hesitant to move out of here, but now that he has decided to resign from his university professorship in the next year and devote himself to the charitable foundation founded by his son, there is no need to hesitate.

"Okay, let's move out of here and buy another house." Father Lin said with a long sigh of relief.

"Okay. Mom and Dad, I will do my best to find a suitable house. Lin Yuquan said happily that he had long wanted to buy a house for his parents so that the second elder could live more comfortably, just because the second elder was used to living here, he chose to respect the second elder's opinion, but the reality made him realize that the second elder had reached the time when he had to move out of here.

"Yuquan, do you have a general goal of buying a house?" Lin Mu asked.

"Not really, I'm going to set my goals after the field trip."

Time came to February 13th, for Lin Yuquan, the biggest difference between this year's Chinese New Year and previous New Year's New Year is that he drove Lin's father's Volkswagen Passat to the major villa estates around Rongcheng most of the time.

After some investigation, Lin Yuquan finally determined the goal of buying a house, located in the Shuang*liu Lushan International Black Diamond Villa, this villa manor is the Lushan International Community Yicui Valley, Oak Slope, Crystal Gang, Pebble Beach, Biying Creek, Diexi Valley, Xiangxi Embankment, Cuiyunling, Xiangyilin after the launch of the 10th villa group, a few years ago, here is a vast wilderness, natural shallow hills make this full of charming colors, in the world's design masters jointly built, More than 4,300 acres of space eventually formed an 18-hole golf course of more than 1,200 acres, and villas of different styles dotted in between.

The reason why Lin Yuquan chose this place is that the natural environment here is very good, which is very suitable for the second elder to live, and after determining the goal, he quickly locked the goal of buying a house, a single-family villa with 6 bedrooms, 3 living rooms and 4 bathrooms, an area of 642 square meters, and a garden of 500 square meters.

And the purchase of a villa is just the beginning, next, Lin Yuquan is also ready to buy a better scooter for the second elder, and look for a driver and nanny.

"Oh, is the writers' strike finally over?" Wake up early in the morning and look at the phone from Chris. Anderson's text message, Lin Yuquan had a smile in his eyes, and then called the other party, and gradually learned the details of the end of the strike.

The members of the Writers Guild of America held a voting meeting on the morning of February 12, local time in the United States, and finally the 3,775 screenwriters of the Writers Guild of the East and West of the United States voted overwhelmingly in favor of 3,492 people, agreeing that the Eastern Branch Committee and the Western Branch Committee would end the strike and return to work, and the stop strike order would take effect immediately after the voting results.

Later, the president of the Screenwriters Guild, Patrick Brown. In a letter to the screenwriters, Veron said: "The strike is over, and we will resume writing the script immediately. If you were hired before the strike began, then you should report on Wednesday. If you are not employed, contact your former employer and say you can return to work immediately. If you have been told that you do not need to report or rework, then we advise your employer that you can now be hired. ”

Lin Yuquan shook his head, although the strike of the Screenwriters Guild ended, but the losses caused by the screenwriters' strike could not be made up, during this period, dozens of film and television works were forced to shelve, tens of thousands of employees lost their jobs or had nothing to do, and the economic losses were as high as billions of yuan. Hollywood's awards season has also been hit by strike action, with the Golden Globes being cancelled.

"But the Academy Awards have finally escaped, heh, believe Sid. Gannis will call me soon to finalize the Oscar guests. Lin Yuquan had a smile in his eyes.

Lin Yuquan guessed correctly, on the afternoon of February 13th, Sid. Gannis called him and finally confirmed that he would be with Anne. Hathaway co-presented the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and wanted him to go to the Kodak Theatre for a rehearsal a day earlier. Hathaway said the right lines and walked the stage.

Because of the Spring Festival, Lin Yuquan did not complete the search for drivers and nannies in the end, but he had already contacted a professional company, and after the Spring Festival, Lin's father and Lin's mother would choose themselves. However, the second elder's scooter, he has already prepared, is a black Audi A8.

Time passed day by day, and after the Lantern Festival at home, Lin Yuquan immediately left for Los Angeles. (To be continued.) )xh118R1052
