Chapter 348
February 2th, the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month, is the last day of the year.
Qin Muchu came to Hong Kong Island to meet his mother-in-law with his fiancée.
"200 yuan, 150, that's forty... 42 yuan."
At the gate of the community, Zhou Huimin was carefully counting the money that the taxi gave her, and after confirming that it was correct, she moved her body and got out of the car.
Qin Muchu also took out the luggage and some purchased gifts from the trunk. Zhou Huimin took some things with one hand to help share, and took Qin Muchu's arm with the other hand, and walked into the community, thinking while walking:
"Renting on Hong Kong Island is expensive again. Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year to scam customers, usually a maximum of 120 is enough."
Qin Muchu patted Zhou Huimin's head,
"You are really a little Jew, you still care about those dozens of dollars when you are so rich."
"Don't call me Little Jew."
Zhou Huimin turned her head,
"If you have money, you can't be treated as a fool. A few dozen yuan is enough for a meal."
Qin Muchu smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Huimin is used to living a very frugal life, but her frugality is only for herself.
The set of clothes on Qin Muchu's body was bought by Zhou Huimin yesterday, which cost [-] to [-] to [-] yuan. Today, he bought clothes and nutritional products for Zhou's mother on Hong Kong Island, which cost another [-] yuan.
All paid for by herself.
Qin Muchu wanted to pay, but she refused.
While thinking about it all the way, they came to the downstairs of a unit.
This neighborhood is not very luxurious, but it can be considered mid-range, with access control and everything.
Zhou Huimin rang the doorbell, and the intercom was connected soon.
"Mom, it's me, open the door."
Zhou Huimin said into the walkie-talkie.
"Amin, you are here, I was just about to make a call."
A woman's voice came out, and at the same time the tight iron door opened with a "beep".
"See if it's open?"
Zhou Huimin opened the iron door and said again:
"It's on, let's not talk about it, we will come up in a while."
"Oh, good."
"Come in."
With one foot stuck on the iron gate, Zhou Huimin waved at Qin Muchu who was stunned.
"okay."
Qin Muchu came back to his senses and stepped into the apartment building with a solemn expression.
According to experience, Zhou's mother should have opened the door of the house at this time, standing at the door eagerly waiting.
In other words, when he got on the elevator, he could see... the mother-in-law as soon as he went out.
Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help becoming nervous, and he carried the prepared draft in his heart.
Auntie, hello, my name is Qin Muchu, I'm Zhou Huimin's boyfriend...
This nervousness didn't gradually dissipate until I saw Zhou's mother.
Zhou's mother is indeed a relatively easy-going person. She didn't try to make things difficult for Qin Muchu. She just asked them about some recent things, such as filming in the Northeast, when the movie will be released, and whether they can see it on Hong Kong Island.
She didn't even ask Qin Muchu about some basic family conditions, Zhou Huimin should have told her before.
Just when Qin Muchu gradually relaxed her vigilance, Zhou's mother suddenly said to Zhou Huimin:
"Amin, go look for my glasses in the room, but you don't remember where you put them."
Qin Muchu's body froze immediately, and he sent Zhou Huimin away, which was a sign of seriousness.
Zhou Huimin also cast a self-seeking look, and then went to the room in response.
Sure enough, Zhou Huimin entered the room, and Zhou's mother stood up:
"Xiao Qin, Auntie has something to say to you."
"Hey, good."
Qin Muchu responded, and followed Mother Zhou to the bedroom on the other side.
In just a few steps, he imagined all kinds of questions that Zhou's mother might ask.
For example, when will you get married, when will the wedding be held, what guarantee can you give your daughter...
But the result was unexpected. Zhou's mother called him not to ask questions, but to show him a photo album.
A photo album full of photos of Zhou Huimin from childhood to adulthood.
Every time I look at a photo, Zhou's mother introduces the time when the photo was taken and the story behind the photo.
She remembered it clearly, as if everything was just yesterday.
Qin Muchu listened quietly, occasionally asking a few questions.
Outside the door, the worried Zhou Huimin hid and eavesdropped, thinking that if her mother made things difficult for Qin Muchu, she would be able to save the situation in time, but as she listened, she also fell into memories.
Many things that she can no longer remember are so clear in her mother's memory...
……
This is the first time for Qin Muchu to celebrate the New Year in Hong Kong Island. In fact, the New Year celebration here is similar to that in the mainland, with reunion dinners and red envelopes...
The difference is that people here basically don't watch the Spring Festival Gala, instead they go out to visit the flower market.
In Cantonese, "flower" has the same pronunciation as "fa". Visiting the flower market is to get rich and good luck.
Therefore, the streets of Hong Kong Island in the [-]th year are crowded with people and it is very lively.
In the past, Zhou Huimin would go to play with her mother until after ten o'clock and then come back, but this year is no longer possible.
After all, she is pregnant, and there are so many people on the street, it is not a joke if she knocks or touches her.
Zhou Huimin couldn't go, so Qin Muchu and Zhou's mother naturally had no intention of going out.
At home, I watched the Hong Kong Island version of the "Spring Festival Gala", which is a special Spring Festival program held by TVB and ATV, inviting some singers to sing and perform.
But no matter the atmosphere or the scale, it is not comparable to the Spring Festival Gala in the Mainland, and it is rather boring.
Seeing ten o'clock, Qin Muchu yawned, and Zhou Huimin also leaned on his shoulder with sleepy eyes, so he turned off the TV, washed and went to bed.
Zhou's mother arranged Qin Muchu and Zhou Huimin to share a room. They both had reached this point, and there was no need to go back to their mother's house to sleep separately.
But Zhou's mother still reminded Qin Mu and Chu Huimin that his body is special now, and told him to pay more attention and rest early.
Qin Muchu didn't understand this before, but when he thought of the doctor's order, he understood it instantly.
In fact, he and Zhou Huimin slept plain these days.
"Really cold."
After taking a shower, Zhou Huimin trotted into bed, hugged Qin Muchu's waist, and pressed his face against his chest to keep warm.
At first, she was not used to coming from the heated Yanjing to the unheated Hong Kong Island.
"The air conditioner is on, so it won't be cold in a while."
Qin Muchu straightened the quilt and covered it tightly.
After a while, Zhou Huimin also warmed up, sat up and leaned against Qin Muchu's arms:
"Are you going back to Yanjing tomorrow?"
"Let's wait a few days..."
Qin Muchu replied.
Seeing Zhou Huimin seemed hesitant to speak, he thought Zhou Huimin was reluctant to leave, and said:
"You don't have to go with me, you can spend more time with Auntie if you want, or take Auntie to Yanjing directly."
Zhou Huimin shook his head:
"No, just now my mother asked me if I want to stay in Hong Kong Island to raise a baby. She knows you are very busy, and she can take care of me when I am in Hong Kong Island. When I go to Yanjing, she is not familiar with the place, and her Mandarin is not good..."
Raising babies on Hong Kong Island...
It is normal for a mother to take care of a daughter when she is pregnant, as is the case with many families.
However, if Zhou Huimin stays on Hong Kong Island, it means that they will have to live separately.
"What do you think?"
Qin Muchu didn't give an opinion, but left the choice to Zhou Huimin.
"It doesn't matter if I take care of you or not, but I'm afraid that my mother misses me..."
Zhou Huimin huddled in Qin Muchu's arms.
Qin Muchu also understood what Zhou Huimin meant when he heard this, and gently stroked her hair:
"That's fine, you stay on Hong Kong Island..."
"But, staying on Hong Kong Island, I..." Zhou Huimin raised his head, and then lowered his head in the middle of speaking.
"miss me?"
Qin Muchu smirked and lifted Zhou Huimin's chin.
Zhou Huimin's face was blushing, but she gave a soft "hmm" and added:
"I also miss Mimi and Sister Li."
The four have lived together for nearly a year and are used to each other.
Another one, Zhou Huimin's circle of friends has also been transferred to Yanjing over the years, and there are almost no acquaintances on Hong Kong Island.
But Qin Muchu didn't think it was a problem, and said with a smile:
"Hong Kong Island is not very far away. If you come from Yanjing, you can get there by plane in more than two hours. We just need to visit you often. How about once every two days?"
As he spoke, he pinched Zhou Huimin's chin and shook it left and right.
Zhou Huimin knew that Qin Muchu was joking, once every two days was too frequent, but she still smiled:
"Then you might as well live on Hong Kong Island."
After laughing for a while, she raised a finger and put it in front of Qin Muchu's eyes:
"Come once a week, okay?"
"it is good."
Qin Muchu agreed immediately, and then said:
"However, if you are on Hong Kong Island, you have to ask Boss Yang if there is a better hospital to recommend, which is convenient for prenatal checkups. In this case, it is best to live next to the hospital, um, and professional nursing, so that the aunt does not have to be so tired, and... ...Hiss, what are you doing?"
Just as she was wondering if there was anything she had missed, Zhou Huimin suddenly got under the covers.
Soon after, the feeling from his body made him gasp, and he almost cried out.
Quickly lifted the quilt, revealing Zhou Huimin with loose hair, holding her face:
"Don't make trouble, the doctor said, the fetus is not stable now, so you can't do that."
I was still a little puzzled, but Zhou Huimin was very resistant to doing this. Although she agreed every time, she would puff her face afterwards and say that Qin Muchu was a pervert.
"The doctor said that I can't do that. This is... This is a reward for you."
Zhou Huimin's face covered by hair was already flushed, and after speaking, he took Qin Muchu's hand away and continued to move.
……
Early the next morning, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Muchu took Zhou Huimin to Boss Ying Huangyang's villa in the name of New Year's greetings.
"It's disturbing Uncle Yang's dream."
Qin Muchu smiled and hugged Boss Yang.
"Haha, if someone else comes, it's an interruption, but if you come, I'm too happy.
This year you are the first to come to pay New Year's greetings, and you have made a good start. It seems that I will be prosperous for a whole year. "
Boss Yang patted Qin Muchu on the back, smiling all over his face.
When he was woken up early this morning by his mobile phone, he wanted to scold him, but when he saw that it was Qin Muchu's call, who came to pay him New Year's greetings, and asked him to help him with something, his anger subsided instantly.
If you have something to ask him for help, isn't the relationship improved by helping each other?
After being seated, Boss Yang arranged for the servants to serve tea, and asked:
"Xiao Qin, what matter, as long as Uncle Yang can do it, he will go all out."
"It's not a difficult task, just Huimin, she is pregnant and wants to have a baby in Hong Kong Island. I am not familiar with the place, so I want Uncle Yang to help introduce some better hospitals..."
Qin Muchu was not polite, and directly stated the purpose.
"Pregnancy... this, haha, congratulations, congratulations, this is a great thing, Huimin must pay attention to her body."
When he learned that Zhou Huimin was pregnant with Qin Muchu's child, Boss Yang's attention to her instantly went up several levels.
It's not that Zhou Huimin was underestimated, but he also attached great importance to it, but this importance came entirely from Qin Muchu.
To put it simply, Zhou Huimin is not Zhou Huimin in his eyes, but "Qin Muchu's girlfriend". With this name, he will give the same importance to any woman.
But now with Qin Muchu's child, it's different.
If a girlfriend is compared to a temporary worker, then the wife is a full-time employee, and having children is a shareholder.
Boss Yang immediately stated that everything was on him, including hospitals, doctors, nursing care, etc., and he had arranged everything properly.
After arranging these things, the bosses of the two entertainment companies naturally chatted about movies.
"'Avatar' is worth 11 billion. This movie really gave me a big blow, just like watching a movie for the first time." Boss Yang shook his head with a little emotion.
Qin Muchu remained silent, "Avatar" is still top-notch in terms of film technology more than ten years later.
"Do you think our country can produce such a movie?" Boss Yang asked suddenly.
Speaking of special effects blockbusters in China, Qin Muchu who made "Inception" is second to none.
If he says he can't, then probably no one in China can shoot it.
Qin Muchu didn't say no, he just uttered one word:
"Disaster."
The success of "Avatar" is not the success of one person. Of course, the director James Cameron is also very good, but the greater credit should belong to Hollywood's mature film industry.
Without a complete and sound film industry system, it is almost impossible to make such a grand masterpiece with such a grand scene.
What is the film industry system?
Simply put, it is division of labor and cooperation.
Everyone in the crew can only do their own part of the work well. As for the other parts, it doesn't matter if you don't know it or not, because there are people who understand it.
Everyone is required to be specialized, not omnipotent.
Qin Muchu felt difficulties when filming "Inception". There are many things that should not be solved by him as a director.
For example, the production of props and trains that drive on the streets, street explosions, etc...
But it worked out in the end, and it sounds like a boastful statement, purely because he made up for the lack of other departments with his own ability.
This is why Qin Muchu said "difficult" instead of "impossible".
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Boss Yang laughed and changed the topic:
""Bullet" will be released today, I don't know how the box office will be..."
Qin Muchu was stunned.
During this period of time, I have been focusing on Zhou Huimin and the film's post-production, and almost forgot about "Bullet".
After giving Boss Yang such a reminder, he really looked forward to it.
