Chapter 16: Kittens

Listening to the soft voice on the other side, Xiao Chu's heart was soft.

Suddenly, he said: "Xi Xi, wait a minute, let's WeChat video." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xiao Chu heard the answer, hung up the phone, and quickly ran back.

A few minutes later, he ran back to the hotel and entered his room.

Director Wu was still not there, he logged on WeChat, clicked on Xixi's profile picture, and then launched a video chat.

After a while, the video was connected.

A little girl appears in the video frame.

It is Xiao Chu's sister, Zhou Xixi.

Xi Xi is only twelve years old this year, and when Xiao Chu first saw her seven years ago, she was thin, timid, didn't speak, and squatted on the ground, like a stray kitten.

Now seven years have passed, and people have grown up a lot, but they are still thin, timid, and still like a kitten.

It's just that the eyes are brighter than before, and they are beautiful and lovely.

"Brother. Xi Xi also saw Xiao Chu and shouted softly.

Xiao Chu smiled and looked carefully at the little girl in the video, "Well, I haven't seen you for a month, but I have grown up a lot and become more beautiful." ”

Hearing Xiao Chu's praise, Xi Xi blinked and didn't speak, but her eyes were obviously brighter, revealing her small mood.

"Brother, I miss you......" After a while, Xi Xi said softly.

Xiao Chu Wenxu said: "I also miss the past and my parents, I should have called you a long time ago, but I'm a little busy these days, so I don't care about it for the time being." ”

"Well, I know. Xi Xi nodded slightly.

Xiao Chu saw her well-behaved and sensible appearance, his heart softened even more, and he smiled: "In the past, I heard my mother say that you passed the tenth grade piano exam today?

Xi Xi was stunned for a few seconds, but still nodded, "Hmm." ”

Xiao Chu said: "Then tell your brother honestly, do you want to learn? ”

Xi Xi's long eyelashes blinked, and when he saw Xiao Chu looking at him clearly, he didn't want to hide it, and replied, "I want to." ”

Xiao Chu snapped his fingers and said loudly: "Then learn! You don't have to worry about money, you have me." ”

"Not only have I signed with a big company now, but I have just written a play and am filming it, and not only do I have a lot of manuscript fees, but I will also have a big bonus after I go online. ”

"So you don't have to think too much about learning the piano and spending too much money, just practice the piano and study hard, brother for you!"

Xi Xi pursed his lips and nodded.

Xiao Chu was not satisfied, and said with a smile: "The little girl's family, it's not good to have a little face all day long, come, give my brother a smile." ”

Xi Xi's eyelashes blinked, and her eyes fluttered at him.

Xiao Chu insisted.

"Brother......

Xiao Chu didn't care, with a straight face, "Laugh quickly, otherwise I'll be angry, my sister is disobedient, and it is undignified to be a brother." ”

Xi Xi's little face wrinkled slightly, obviously he didn't expect his brother to be a scoundrel.

However, looking at Xiao Chu's expectant eyes, she still stretched her eyebrows and showed a smile.

The smile is very light, but it is very beautiful, like a water lotus flower with stamen for a long time, suddenly blooming, soft and delicate.

"That's right, I still have to smile more in the future, my kitten is the cutest and best-looking." After succeeding, Xiao Chu grinned.

Xi Xi glared at the elder brother "complainingly", but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned unconsciously, and a smile flowed.

The brother and sister chatted for a while before ending the video.

After exiting WeChat, Xiao Chu boarded the ICBC APP, transferred the 30,000 given by Xia Tingciao, plus his own 10,000, a total of 40,000, to his mother, and left a message explaining that it was for the piano learning fee in the past.

As soon as I received the text message that the transfer was successful, I received a call from my mother.

Ask him where he got so much money and whether he can spend it enough.

Xiao Chu said that of course he still had enough flowers, and lied to her that the 40,000 yuan was the manuscript fee issued by the company, so that she didn't have to worry, she could take the flowers with peace of mind, and supervise and encourage the piano practice in the past.

Since she has talent and likes it, she fully supports it.

Mom told Xiao Chu to let him be alone in the magic capital, take care of himself, and don't be reluctant to eat or flowers.

The family is not short of money now, and this year's navel oranges are very good, and there will be a large harvest by then.

When the navel oranges are picked in November, I will send him a few boxes for him to send to the leaders and teachers, as well as to eat by himself.

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Chu smiled, although my mother was used to nagging, she was in a good mood after listening to it.

He remembered to make two phone calls, but he didn't seem to have asked about his father's situation, so he ignored them.

Thinking that my mother might go to talk to the past now, she shook her head again.

Next time, call my dad directly next time.

......

Put away the phone, it was already past ten o'clock, and Director Wu had not come back yet.

Lying on the bed and unable to sleep, Xiao Chu simply logged on to WeChat again and sent a message to Xia Tingcicada.

Xiao Shisanlang: Thank you!

It didn't take a few seconds for Xia Tingcicada to reply.

Xia listens to the sound of cicadas: Thank you for what?

Xiao Shisanlang: Thank you...... I'll talk about that later.

Xiao Chu originally wanted to thank Xia Tingcia for the 30,000, but after thinking about it, he didn't want it before, if Xia Tingcia hadn't expected it in advance and blacked him out, he would have turned it back.

Now I accept it again, and I thank it, no matter how I think about it, it's not like that.

Forget it, collect money for people to eliminate disasters, eat people with soft mouths and short hands, since the money is accepted, she can live when she wants to live in the future, and she should be a second landlord and share a house.

On the other side, Xia Tingcicada saw that Xiao Chu wanted to speak and stopped, and replied with a pursed expression.

Just after returning, Liu Jie came to knock on the door.

"Listen to the cicada, I'll continue to go to the bar with the crystal fairy tonight, you and Xiao Ai are at home, don't run around at night." ”

Obviously, Liu Jie was not very relieved about Xia Tingciao's previous two nights in an unknown place, afraid that she would run out again while she was not at home.

Xia Tingcicada nodded, "Sister Liu, you go, I'll write songs at home." ”

She knew that Xiao Chu had gone to Hengcheng to film, and she was not in a bad mood, so there was no need to go out.

When Liu Jie heard her words, she was still a little uneasy, and followed Xiao Ai in the living room several times.

When the singer always spends the night outside, the impact is not good, and the assistant has to keep an eye on it.

Xiao Ai hurriedly nodded, saying that she would definitely keep an eye on Sister Cicada and not let her go out.

Liu Jie left satisfied.

She had to continue to find the mysterious singer-songwriter, Qian Bulei vigorously suppressed it, forcing Xia Tingcia to bow her head, and couldn't contact other music producers, she could only pin her hopes on this mysterious creator.

Hopefully good luck tonight and be able to run into him.

......

Ten days later, the filming of "River God" went smoothly, and the last episode of the first stage, which is the eighth episode, has also reached the final stage.

After filming this episode and sending it back to the Modu base camp for post-production, you can send it to the video site to test the waters.

If the performance is good, continue to shoot the subsequent episodes according to the normal structure.

If the response is not good, it will be cut in half, and another four episodes will be scribbled.

The project has come to this point, and everyone is busy and looking forward to it.

Xiao Chu is no exception, he devoted himself to the creation of the crew, just waiting for the smooth ending, and then the new play was launched.
