After hearing about this itinerary, Jasmine said in confusion:

"Aren't we going to the film festival? Doesn't it start tomorrow?"

Xu Xin shrugged and asked:

"When you come to China, won't you regret not climbing the Great Wall?"

have to.

The new generation of Italian actresses shrugged.

Right.

Film festivals and stuff... are not as interesting as the Great Wall of China.

This country...is really amazing!

…

"Okay, let's go back. Remember to change into a pair of more comfortable shoes tomorrow."

He looked at the pair of canvas shoes on Su Meng's feet and gave a reminder.

Then, with Su Meng's nod, he waved goodbye and returned home.

"You're back, go wash your hands and eat."

"Dad~"

When he heard the cries of his wife and children, his fatigue suddenly surged up.

He nodded quickly and walked to the bathroom.

Facts have proved that no matter how delicious the roast duck is, it is not as good as the bowl of tomatoes and scrambled eggs topped with rice at home.

It is also the favorite dish of both children.

The three masters were working on their rice bowls when they heard Yang Mi ask:

"How was your shopping? What's new?"

Every time he opened his mouth, he was filled with the arrogance of an old Yanjing man.

In other words, the yin and yang is strange.

Xu Xin rolled his eyes, but still explained the general process of today while cooking.

When talking about the masters who repair cultural relics, he said:

"I want to shoot them in my next documentary. This is Jesse's advice, which I think is very pertinent. I just want to make a documentary with a banal subject, but touching enough."

Yang Mi was stunned:

"Are you going to make a documentary again?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin thought that his wife could not get enough of his exclamation, so he spoke in more detail:

"You should really come and see it with me this afternoon. You will definitely feel the same as me after reading it. The weight of history is all accumulated in the walls of the Forbidden City that have been eroded by hundreds of years of wind and rain and have not collapsed.

It... itself is an antique. After we entered, it was like a group of... little ants walking in a maze.

I don’t know how many things have been buried under those gold bricks and red walls throughout the ages. Every time you walk into a building, you can seem to see the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, to the Qing Dynasty, and then to the precarious Republic of China... That kind of... I...

It's hard to summarize the time, but the kind of... emotion that can be felt.

Do you know what Jesse said? I was still thinking about what subject to shoot at the beginning, and she told me that the best documentary must be the sparkling history itself recorded under ordinary subjects... She said this

That's what woke me up. The Forbidden City, a great cultural relic, is so wonderful in itself. And now there are this group of dedicated people working hard so that their children and grandchildren can see this wonderful thing... This is an extremely wonderful thing in itself.

, a touching story.”

Yang Mi nodded subconsciously.

She didn't refute this.

Although she could not completely empathize with her husband, in essence, the Forbidden City was of great significance to every Chinese person.

only……

He didn't seem to understand what he meant either:

"I mean, do you have that time?"

"……ah?"

"You still want to be the chief director this time, right? Come on, I'll do the math for you. I won't mention it this year. Next year, after "Broken Silence" is finished, you will have a film appointment with Lao Xu.

And according to what you said, if Sister Mo comes across any good scripts, you may have to go to the United States... It will only be three years, right?

You’re still studying for a Ph.D., and you’re going to be a teaching assistant in September. We said we’d wait two years before we have a third child, and it’s been another year since I’ve been pregnant and given birth… Are you sure you have time to make a documentary?”

"Well……"

It's okay that she didn't mention it, but when she did, Xu Xin realized... that her film schedule was really full.

"I haven't mentioned chasing the light yet... I think it's best to plan your time carefully. At least, plan it based on two years. Otherwise... you will be exhausted. I don't want you to be so tired.

,not to mention……"

One pointed at the two children who were cooking rice there.

"Nuan Nuan and Yang Yang are about to start remembering things. Have you forgotten what happened to Dalinzi? Parents' education is very important. I don't care whether you want to skip it or not, but I don't agree with you being too lacking in the growth of the two children.

That's absolutely not possible! I don't want what happened to Dalinzi to happen to us. What are you doing? It's not like the child has no father or mother... The two children are fine now. If you leave for ten to twenty days, or three to five months

It doesn't matter. What about after that? Three to five months...the child has finished one semester. I can't see you for one semester? Is it appropriate?"

Although my wife didn't finish what she said.

But Xu Xin already understood the meaning.

really……

If his wife's thoughts are true, once he becomes busy, he may not be able to stay at home for at least four to five months a year, or even more exaggeratedly.

But the two little ones now are no longer the children who ate when they woke up and slept when they were full.

They need companionship more now, and they also need their parents' companionship more.

Family, and work... he seems to really have to weigh things up.

He nodded:

"Okay, I understand... I really didn't think about this matter."

Seeing her husband admitting her mistake, Yang Mi also explained:

"I'm not blaming you, nor am I trying to restrict you or stifle your inspiration. I'm just telling you what you've overlooked... because once you're involved in something as long as a documentary, you're bound to have to work on both ends. So.

…”

"Yeah, I understand."

Xu Xin smiled and nodded:

"Why don't you say it? It's really because I didn't think about it. You're right... the children are indeed getting older, and we both have to start paying attention to some things."

He lovingly touched the eldest daughter who was lowering her head to eat. He suddenly felt much relieved and said:

"Then I'll put the topic of this documentary in the Art Creation Center. If anyone wants to pick it up, just come to me directly. How about it?"

"...You don't want to take pictures yourself?...No, brother, don't misunderstand me. I won't say it anymore. You'd better start planning your career line with two years as the premise..."

Thinking that her husband had misunderstood her, Yang Mi quickly explained.

But Xu Xin waved his hand:

"I know what you mean. But you are right, the documentary... is too long. Of course, in fact, in my estimation, this documentary may actually be filmed and it won't take too long. But the problem is the early stage

And the preparation work that needs to be done in the later stage must be done thoroughly. It does waste time. I will put it directly in the Art Creation Center. Whoever is interested can do it. If there is such a long-term work in the future... I will try my best to weigh it.

.Unless there is some important mission, if you can leave other things to others, just leave them to others. I am tired from working every day..."

"……not angry?"

Seeing his wife's probing eyes, he shrugged and said:

"certainly."

But he immediately said:

"But if you can give me some compensation, I'd be quite happy."

"..."

Yang Dalin and Yang Chunling, who were cooking rice on the side, made a move...

The naughty child in your heart really thinks that we don’t exist, right?

Especially Yang Dalin.

He glared at his son-in-law angrily, then looked at his granddaughter and grandson.

I told you to take your child to primary school as soon as possible, and we went on a self-driving trip in the car.
