Chapter 4 Family affection is priceless

At dusk, in Brentwood, the bus stopped at a bus stop on the eastern section of St. Vicente Avenue, the door opened, and Ye Wei walked out quickly, rushing towards South Gretna Green Street to the north. Look at those verdant coral trees, breathe in the wind with the smell of the sea, home, sweet home!

The streets of the residential area are lined with trees, beautiful high-end houses are lined up, and children and dogs play on the garden lawn, full of joy.

There are about 40,000 people here, 8o% white, 9% Asian, 6% Hispanic, 1% black and 4% other. More than half of the population has a university education or higher, 16% of the population is a doctor or other high-end professional, and only 5% of the population has a high school education or less.

A veritable good district with high education, high income, high su zhì, and low crime, there have been many celebrity residents in history, such as Monroe and Schwarzenegger.

Soon after Ye Wei was born, his parents took out a loan to buy a house here in order to give their son the best environment for his growth.

Ye Wei grew up here, and it can be said that if he closes his eyes, he can walk back to the two-story house with a gray roof and white walls surrounded by flowers and trees, but after that dream, he has a long-lost feeling, as if the wanderer who has been wandering for many years has finally returned home.

His home was not far from the bus stop, and he ran for a few minutes before he was about to get there......

He had already called home before, and the lawn of the front garden was still waiting, with his father Ye Haogen and mother Gu Qiao (Jo-ku) all there.

There was also a little black girl and a Cairn Terrier puppy chasing and playing, and bursts of laughter came from his sister Ye Duo, and his pet Toto, all of whom were pistachios in the family.

"Wow!" Toto appeared to him first.

"Brother!" Duoduo also saw it, and her cute face was full of joy, and she flew over with her little hands open.

Ye Wei rushed forward, put down the bag of documents, picked her up with a smile, and spun her around, "Oh-oh-"

Looking at her innocent smile, he also smiled profusely: "Hey, Dorothy! Toto!" kissed his sister on the forehead, put her down, and he hugged the dog at his feet, "I miss you so much......"

Toto licked his face excitedly, his tail wagging indistinctly, full of energy, yes, it was a young puppy only three years old.

Duoduo is still the little girl who is just three years old, enjoying her carefree childhood. Instead of the little adult who lived a crumpled life and collected coupons in his dream, he didn't say "Mom, I won't go to college in the future, don't save money for me, I want to give all the money to my brother to shoot his graduation work".

That's nice.

Ye Wei took the lead and walked to the lawn, and then a stern reprimand came: "Wei, what's wrong with you!?"

It was his mother, the dignified and beautiful middle-aged woman.

Gu Qiao also has a college degree, a graduate of the Department of East Asian Languages at the University of California, San Francisco, and could have worked hard for a good career, but she is a family woman, and after marrying Ye Haogen, she became a full-time housewife, and her family is all she has, because of her superior life, the years have not left many traces on her.

Seeing her, Ye Wei's mood suddenly churned again, tears almost poured out, and he shouted, "Mom!"

In that dream, my mother had a hard time. Because she is old, and she only has half a year of work experience after graduating from college, although she is desperately looking for it, she can't find a professional job at all, and she has to take care of Duoduo and him, so she can only do some casual work, and she has been working several jobs at the same time for many years.

In the evening, she also took some work to translate documents, and she was busy until two or three o'clock in the morning before she went to bed, and before six o'clock, she got up and went out again......

When he woke up, she had just been admitted to the hospital because of sudden syncope, and the doctor said that due to long-term fatigue, if she didn't rest well, she would have sudden death at any time......

"Don't try to do this with me. Gu Qiao looked funny and angry, and scolded him severely: "What did you do at school today, Teacher Ai Xi has already called me, and she sued me! How can you be so rude, what are you thinking? You have to pretend to be sick and skip school, what's going on?"

"Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong...... Ye Wei choked up, I was wrong to let you bear so much alone, but that won't come true, no.

Gu Qiao's reaction to his son was very strange, and his attitude softened: "Sue sΓΉ mother, has something happened?"

Ye Haogen in the back quietly gave his son a thumbs up, there is a way! Ye Wei couldn't help but smile.

This made Gu Qiao look back, and he was immediately very angry, and scolded both father and son: "It's you who spoil your son, and when he can't even enter college in the future, see if you smile or not! And you, don't think that your father supports you, you'll be fine, you have to review your mistakes well, be a good student, we only have good students in our family." ”

Duoduo next to him was so anxious that he finally said in a milky voice: "Mom, don't scold my brother! It's my fault......

The three of them were stunned, and they couldn't help laughing, Gu Qiao asked, "What's wrong with you?" Duoduo lowered his head and said, "I stole and ate those candies, it's none of my brother's business." Gu Qiao said fiercely: "Okay, it turned out to be you!"

Duoduo, who didn't admit himself, was reprimanded, and Ye Wei was even more reprimanded, but his attitude was completely different from before, not only willing to listen, but also willing to admit his mistakes and apologize.

In the face of his son's strategy, Gu Qiao was very helpless, a rebellious age like him who was full of thinking about being a cool child, he should obviously be able to refute it, just like before. Then she could inflict a lock-level punishment, and now, she could only punish him for doing some chores.

"Ok, I've taken care of today's housework. Ye Wei smiled with a smile on his face, lifted the bag of documents, followed the footsteps of his parents, took Duoduo and Toto, and walked back home, "I want to cook a hearty dinner, I will cook alone, and you are only responsible for eating." ”

Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao glanced at each other, both with strange eyes, "So well-behaved?"

"Yes, you'd better get used to it as soon as possible, this is who I am from now on. ”

Ye Wei said very seriously, and silently swore in his heart, no matter what happens in the future, Dad, Mom, Duoduo, Toto, YiqiΔ“ will be fine, I promise. I will fight to protect our happiness, even if I want to go to hell, as long as you go to heaven.

"Listen first, I hope you can hold out for a week. "Do I really have tooth decay?", "Cookie, dad can sue you, if you eat so much candy, my teeth will be pulled out by me." ”

They were laughing and talking, and no one knew how serious his heart was at this moment.

......

At night, South Gretna Green Street was brightly lit, and after a happy dinner, the Ye family gradually quieted down.

Ye Wei thought it was time to talk to his father, so he took the bag of documents and came to the study. There was a light in the study, and his father's voice was a little worried, "Kevin, is this really the only way to go?" and he knocked on the carved wooden door that was not covered.

In the huge study, there are rows of bookshelves full of books, and in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Ye Haogen is wandering and chatting on the phone: "Don't you participate in the film festival? We haven't done any publicity ...... yet."

Ye Wei walked over with light steps, and could vaguely hear the words coming from the phone: "The film industry is very complicated, it's not like a dentist, it's not like a tooth decay somewhere, and then just pull it out." Now that the wedding movie trend is almost over, we don't have time to spend on those film festivals, and that's all we can do with our money. But we still have a lot of opportunities, and let's not forget that our main goal is not cinemas, but all kinds of rights sales......"

"Yes, I know, I know, it's just ......" Ye Haogen frowned, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

Ye Wei secretly scolded Kevin Thomas's slut, and said in his heart: "Dad, you don't know!"

"The Wedding Date is Coming" did not participate in the film festival not because of some hellish trend, but it was so bad that I didn't dare to participate! I couldn't get into the big film festival, and even in the small film festival, I had to laugh and be generous.

So its copyright is also difficult to sell, and in that dream, Kevin Thomas's previous boast of his network resources, what big names he knows, and what overseas businessmen can't be fulfilled. It took four or five years, but the fart was not sold, and in the end, I had to sell the ownership of the entire film in North America and overseas to a small film dealer for 3o yuan in one go.

And it spent a total of 2oo production fees and 2o million line fees, and the six investors, including the Ye family, naturally lost all their money.

The worst thing is the Ye family, who smashed 18o yuan.

Ye Haogen didn't have a coping plan for investment failure, he originally planned that even if he lost all the money, as long as his dentist's office was still there, he could pay off the 15o debt slowly, but he didn't have any savings, and he had to work harder, which couldn't endanger his family and life.

And what happened later was unexpected by anyone......

But Ye Weide said that taking out loans to invest in movies is undoubtedly a gambler's psychology, and Dad has been blinded by the movie dream that has been suppressed in his heart for many years, as well as Kevin Thomas's rhetoric.

Now his father is still a person who is reluctant to wake up from a sweet dream, and "The Wedding is Coming" is his third child in his heart, no matter what the child looks like, good parents will always love the child, he is like that, watching "The Wedding is Coming" can be watched and laughed, saying that it is "not as good as "My Grand Greek Wedding", but it is not bad. ”

What a respectable and pitiful dreamer.

"Haogen, the film industry is a professional job, just leave it to me, you can't help much. ”

"Well, okay...... I really can't do anything, okay, goodbye. ”

With a beep, Ye Haogen put down the phone, scratched his head and exhaled, looked at Ye Wei again, forced a smile, and asked with a smile: "Have you finished your homework?"

"Dad, we need to talk. Ye Wei's expression was stern, and he said straight to the point: "Kevin Thomas is a damn liar. ”
