I don’t know why, but after meeting the elegant and approachable Professor Wu Yuan, Lu Beicen felt much better. Maybe it was because of the hug and thank you that Zhu Wenya gave her before leaving, or maybe because of Lin Fei and Professor Wu.
After the chat, my face looked much better and my whole spirit was lifted a lot.
Then Lin Fei was in good working condition. She edited some of Lu Beicen's shooting materials, and then drafted some scenes for Xue Feng to go out to reshoot. The manuscript was reviewed at noon, and at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the film
It's also cut.
Lu Beicen watched the film and notified Director Wang of the Quhu District Court. After some communication, it was confirmed that the city newspaper would publish the report the next morning. Things went very smoothly and Lu Beicen was in a good mood.
For the first time since going to work, Lu Beicen decided to relax for himself, get off work early to buy groceries, and prepare to go home and cook.
There were a lot of people eating at home today, and there was also a little guest I had never met before.
At around four o'clock, Fang Nan called and said that he had picked up the child for the senior sister who lived in the same community, and asked Lu Beicen to take care of dinner. It was rare for the senior sister to reply, so she had to wait for the little one properly and cook the food herself.
I don't dare to feed my child, and I don't know if the food outside is clean. If it causes the little one to have diarrhea, it will be over.
Lu Beicen didn't care anyway, it was just a matter of multiple children having multiple pairs of chopsticks, so he agreed with a smile.
Chen Ke acted as the driver and coolie, driving and carrying groceries. He was very good-natured, and Lu Beicen laughed at him for having reached a new realm by just eating.
Chen Ke laughed out loud: "You should be confident even if you are a foodie!" By the way, he stretched out his hand to pay for the groceries.
As a result, one of them returned home with empty hands and the other with busy hands. Jiang Zhongze and Ah Hao heard the sound and walked out of the study. No matter how they looked at the scene, they felt that the harmony was a bit too much.
Ah Hao glanced at Jiang Zhongze who stopped in his tracks, went over to pick up the food and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you are quite good at being a flower protector."
Lu Beicen said with a disapproving smile: "Well, I also think that if we hadn't known each other for so many years, I would have almost misunderstood that he was secretly in love with me. He paid for today's food."
Chen Ke transferred all the heavy objects on his hands to Ah Hao's hands, shook his hands and joked: "Nonsense, this is my love, okay? No matter how many years we have known each other, we have to look at the problem from a developmental perspective. Who said that friendship between classmates cannot be
Has it turned into a relationship between a man and a woman?"
"Then you underestimate me too much. After buying food, you will become a man and a woman? Why don't you stay cool and stay for a while?" Lu Beicen waved his hand nonchalantly, put on his shoes and walked inside, ready to go.
Putting down the bag, he saw Jiang Zhongze looking a little gloomy and his smile faded. He couldn't help but think, what's wrong with this man?
Unexpectedly, Chen Ke was still chattering behind him without fear of death: "So tell me, what do you need to buy to change? I need the moon in the sky to pick it off for you."
"That's an exaggeration, Chen Ke. If you have the ability to pick off the moon, give it to our kid Yifan to play with. From now on, I will call you Brother Chen." Fang Nan's voice appeared outside the door of the house that had not yet been closed.
He also held a child by the hand.
The children are very proactive and not afraid of strangers: "Hello uncles, my name is Ran Yifan. Uncle, can you really pick off the moon? Then can you not pick the moon, just pick a star."
When Chen Ke saw a little boy wearing a summer school uniform standing at the door, calling him to reach for the stars in a sweet voice, he immediately narrowed his eyes: "Kid Yifan, tell your uncle first why you want to reach for the stars, and then I will think about it."
Pick it or not.”
"Mom said my dad lives in the brightest star in the sky. I want to see my dad." Ran Yifan's voice was still soft and pleasant, but it made a few people confused and made them feel awkward for a moment.
Lu Beicen came out when he heard the commotion, smiled broadly at Ran Yifan, then bowed and clapped his hands: "Come, kid Yifan, come with auntie, don't listen to this uncle bragging, he can't pick the stars, auntie here
There are delicious chocolates, would you like one?"
Ran Yifan looked at Lu Beicen, then at Chen Ke, then at Fang Nan, and then asked: "Aunt Fang, my mother said that lying will make your nose grow longer, so bragging will make your nose longer."
Several people looked at Chen Ke and laughed out loud. Fang Nan nodded and said: "Tomorrow morning his nose will be longer, and he will hide at home and dare not come out to see anyone. Come on, let's wash our hands, and then
Go eat chocolate."
"Okay, but mom said you can only eat one candy or chocolate a day..."
The three older guys in the room had already understood the little guy's words. This was probably a child who grew up in a single-parent family. As for why the little guy's father didn't live with their mother and son, the three of them didn't know, but the little guy
The childlike words still touched the softest part of the three people's hearts, and they were all willing to take the little guy to play.
Fang Nan saw these three men accompanying Ran Yifan to watch the animal world and explaining it to him in turns. He smiled and entered the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and helped Lu Beicen cook.
"I can't tell, but the three of them are quite similar and willing to take care of such a young child." Fang Nan said with a smile while washing his hands.
Lu Beicen was cutting fresh beef, preparing to stir-fry beef with celery for the little guy to eat. The bright red beef tenderloin was cut into thin slices. After hearing Fang Nan's emotion, he couldn't help but ask: "Jiang Zhongze also
Are you watching TV with me?"
Fang Nan couldn't help but laugh: "You shouldn't judge a person by his appearance. He spoke in the most professional and detailed way. The little guy is sitting closest to him now."
"Well, I really can't tell. But what kind of special situation is his mother in today? Why did she arrest such a strong man like you?" Lu Beicen asked casually.
"I told you that she is a lawyer, right? Today, one of her legal aid recipients suddenly jumped off a building, and it was on the construction site of the disputed unit. The case has not been concluded yet. This is a new situation. She was temporarily detained.
Please come over."
"My family originally invited an aunt, but today the aunt's mother celebrated her 70th birthday. She took leave early and returned to her hometown in the countryside. She was almost out of school when she received the call, and her colleagues didn't take advantage of it, so they had to call me.
Made a phone call."
"Hey, it's not easy to be a single mother. In fact, my senior sister is quite capable, but no matter how capable she is, it's very difficult to raise a child by herself and take care of both a career and a family." Fang Nan said with emotion.
.
"Isn't my family from the local area? No one can help?" Lu Beicen cut the beef and put it in a basin and washed it with cold water. He was going to wash it and drain it before marinating it.
"My family is from a city below. I heard that her father is a leader, but why no one helped me. I can't ask carefully. After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years. We only had a meal together before I went on a business trip."
Nan explained.
After marinating the beef, Lu Beicen began to clean the mandarin fish that had been packed away, preparing to steam it in a pot later. The mandarin fish meat is delicious and has no small spines, so it is especially suitable for children to eat.
Because there are children, the dishes tonight are mainly light. Lu Beicen only plans to make a scrambled egg with chopped peppers as a side dish.
"There are a lot of dishes. I'm going to cook rice. Why don't you just send a text message to your senior sister and let's leave some food for her. It must be a mess over there and she may not have food to eat. She's been tired for a day. When she comes back,
Rice that warms your mouth is better than instant noodles." Lu Beicen told Fang Nan while scooping out rice.
Fang Nan took the washed lettuce out of the basin and said while wiping his hands: "Wow, you are so considerate. Whoever marries you as his wife in the future, I don't know how many lifetimes of luck he has earned.
I’ll send her a text message right now.”
"Well, it's the first time today that I discovered your new characteristic of being glib." Lu Beicen said back with a smile.
"Seriously, if I were a man, the only important thing in my life would be to take you home as my wife no matter what." Fang Nan's fingers were typing quickly on the keyboard of his mobile phone, and he did not forget to continue talking.
Lu Beicen was joking.
"If you become a boy, your Lao Zhan will change into a girl if you choose. I don't want to compete with your Lao Zhan for someone like this. He is on duty today?"
"Yeah, I don't know when it will start, hey..."
"What's the rush? Being a doctor is just like that. After these few years, good days are ahead."
"Hey, I don't know if I can survive until that day. Our group recently held a meeting, and two publications are about to cease publication. I feel that it is already time to cut off their publications and survive." Fang Nan said suddenly after sending the text message.
Lu Beicen was a little surprised: "The situation is so serious? Are you starting to cut down publications?"
"Well, I have cut down two young people's books. Nowadays, children have time to go online. They still want to read magazines. But I heard that the sales of our group's comic publications are soaring. Now there are smart phones, that is, mobile phones.
Have you ever seen the kind that can directly access the Internet? Someone in our office has used it, and I think it is really useful, and I want to change my mobile phone."
"But when I think about it, I feel quite sad, especially what you said last time when we had dinner with our editor-in-chief. Thinking about it, sooner or later, smart phones will become popular. By then, we will really be facing a declining situation and a difficult situation.
I don't know how long I can last." Fang Nan showed a trace of confusion on his face.
Lu Beicen also sighed, and he was just as confused. This was a crisis for the entire industry. It was just a matter of order. The difference between fifty steps and a hundred steps was only fifty steps.
The topic was too heavy, and both of them were a little uninterested. Lu Beicen simply changed the subject and talked about Lin Fei.
Fang Nan felt chills running down his spine: "Do you think it was caused by someone or a cat scratching it?"
Lu Beicen shook his head: "I can't tell, if someone is causing trouble, I would be very surprised how that person could find where her home is. We once had a colleague in the station who was found at home because of a manuscript. Later,
Everyone, especially my colleagues in the News Department, are very protective of their privacy. But if it is a cat, it is logically unlikely. There seem to be wild cats in our community. It seems that no one has said that they heard anything unusual at night.
Noise."
"If someone is really causing trouble, don't you think it's Yu Lan's father?" Fang Nan said nervously.
Lu Beicen knew Fang Nan's worries and couldn't help but comfort her and said, "That's not the case. Besides, Sister Lin has been in the Information Department for so many years and seems to have problems with her marriage. This is bound to happen...
…”
When Ran Zhen knocked on the door of Lu Beicen's house, dinner had been finished, the bowls had been cleaned, and the three men were preparing to take the children out for a walk.
When Ran Yifan saw his mother coming in, he rushed towards her, calling her mother. Although Ran Zhen's lips were a little white, and although he looked very capable in his professional attire, he also looked tired, but he still smiled and hugged his son in.
He put her in his arms and lightly pecked both cheeks.
"Are you good? Did you listen to Aunt Fang?" Ran Zhen's voice was also hoarse.
Fang Nan smiled and said, "We, Yifan, are so well behaved, and we had so much fun playing with our uncles."
Fang Nan and Lu Beicen invited Ran Zhen into the room, introduced him with a smile, and said to Ran Zhen: "Sister, they are just about to take Yifan out for a walk. Why don't you drink some water first, eat the food, and let them take the lead?"
Go have some fun."
"Mom, I want to go out and play with my uncles. Mom, just play for a while, okay?" The little guy opened his longing eyes in Ran Zhen's arms. As a mother, especially in the state of exhaustion at this moment, Ran Zhen couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
, nodded happily, put his son down, and said again: "Don't run around!"
"Hmm, I won't run around. Besides, my uncles must be faster than mom. They won't let me run away, right, uncle with a long nose?"
When Chen Ke saw the little guy looking at him, he pointed at the little guy amidst the laughter of several people: "Don't worry, my uncle will hold you the whole time and will never let you have a chance to run away!"
The five-year-old child loves to jump around and only asks for a hug when he is tired. After hearing this, he turned to Jiang Zhongze: "Uncle Handsome, you will definitely take Yifan for a walk, right?"
…
Lu Beicen and the others sent the three grown men and a little clever guy out of the house amidst laughter. Lu Beicen went to the kitchen and brought out hot rice and dishes. Fang Nan poured a glass of water and put it in front of Ran Zhen, looking at it.
She drank heavily and couldn't help but sigh: "Sister, don't they say that your lawyers are holding golden jobs? Why do I feel that you are so tired?"
"Hey, don't mention it. Wow, this dish is so delicious. This must be Xiaobei's craftsmanship, right?" Ran Zhen didn't notice anyone else and just followed Fang Nan and called Xiaobei.
"Senior sister, your eyes are still so bright. Try it and see. Yifan likes it very much. If one bowl of rice is not enough, I have to add more. I was afraid that he would eat too much at night, so I didn't give it to him."
Ran Zhen was not polite, nodded, drank the mushroom and meat slices soup, and then started eating.
Fang Nan saw Ran Zhen eating quickly and couldn't help but advise: "Senior, please eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Ran Zhen waved his hand, seeming a little embarrassed: "I'm hungry, go watch TV, don't stare at me here, making me uncomfortable."
After Ran Zhen finished eating, Lu Beicen made her a cup of tea and invited her to sit on the sofa in the living room.
Ran Zhen was not polite and leaned on the sofa naturally, looking very relaxed: "Thank you, Xiaobei, your skills are really good. I heard that you work in a TV station?"
Lu Beicen admired Ran Zhen's lack of restraint. She felt that she couldn't do it herself, and this person had an inexplicable temperament that made people want to communicate with her: "Well, speaking of my work and yours,
There are some connections with my work, I am making feature films."
Ran Zhen pondered for a moment before saying: "The legal aid case I went to handle today is a bit tricky. It also involves a sick child, and the other party is a very big company. Both of you are in the media. Let's see if you can
