Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Li Jianguo appeared at the door carrying a lot of bags. Aunt Wang clapped her hands and said, "Oh, if you mention the devil, he will appear. Your Jianguo is back."

Zhang Xiuhua heard the noise and looked up, only to see the tall and long-legged Li Jianguo.

His face was weather-beaten and he hadn't shaved for a long time. This didn't seem like traveling, but more like survival in the wild.

When Aunt Wang Er saw him coming back, she looked at him carefully and said, "Oh, you must have suffered a lot. How come you are as tanned as when you were a soldier?"

Li Jianguo waved his hands, as if to say forget it, "I was almost bitten to death by a mosquito. There are so many mosquitoes in that place."

The places where they filmed were all beautiful places, and the crews all set up tents. There were no stars at that time, only staff members. Even the main characters had no temper. Not to mention these little minions.

"Did the filming go smoothly? Did she lose her temper?" Zhang Xiuhua was not worried about the hardship. In her opinion, hardship was inevitable. No matter how much hardship she endured, she still survived, didn't she? She was more worried that Zhuzhu would not listen to advice during filming and be criticized by the director.

"She didn't lose her temper!" Li Jianguo said with a smile, "She really likes to watch other people filming and then learn from them."

The filming of "Journey to the West" was really hard. In the hot summer, we had to stick hair on our faces. It was itchy and hot, and our skin broke out in rashes. Zhuzhu didn't mind the heat, she ran to fan people with a fan, and then listened to them talk about the play. The director and actors liked her very much.

"Where's Zhuzhu?" Zhang Xiuhua looked outside, but couldn't see Zhuzhu.

"I was called away by my friends just after entering the village. I was showing off." Li Jianguo opened the luggage bag and took out the dirty clothes to wash.

There was no well in that place, so he had to buy water from the city and transport it there. He was embarrassed to use the water to wash clothes. There was a river nearby, but it was not flowing, and there were many insects in it, so it was not clean. He was afraid of getting sick, so he brought it back.

After covering the clothes all the way, they smelled. Li Jianguo poured in some detergent and rubbed them repeatedly, and the smell was mostly gone.

"When will it be released?" Zhang Xiuhua asked him.

"It's too early." Li Jianguo told her not to wait. "Zhuzhu wants to show off, but she can only do it for a short time."

Aunt Wang went home first. Zhang Xiuhua boiled a pot of hot water and asked Li Jianguo to take a bath first. He also smelled.

Li Jianguo asked her to come in and rub his back, "I think Zhuzhu might want to act."

"Long-term?" Zhang Xiuhua knew that people at that time didn't really like acting. Because China had long regarded acting as an actor, which was considered low class. Li Jianguo probably didn't want his daughter to work in this field.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't think it was a big deal. "If she likes acting, let her try it. Children's love comes and goes quickly."

"That director likes Zhuzhu very much. She suggested that Zhuzhu could develop in this direction." Li Jianguo sighed, "Acting requires more practice. If we really wait until Zhuzhu grows up before acting, it will delay a lot of things. Do you think we should install a telephone at home? I will use some connections to build good relationships with the senior executives of those production studios. Maybe they can let Zhuzhu play some small roles in the future?"

Zhang Xiuhua never expected him to jump so fast. He was going to install a phone right now? What the hell was going on? She looked at him in surprise for a few times, "How could you change so much?"

When he left, he was so worried about Zhuzhu wanting to act, but when he came back, he changed 180 times and she could hardly recognize him. Even if he was possessed by a ghost, he was not as evil as him?! What happened?

Li Jianguo saw her staring at him with disbelief on her face and a slight blush on her cheeks. He then said, "I heard from the director that the film and television industry in Hong Kong is very developed, and being an actor is actually a legitimate profession. Our country started late in this area, and there is still a big gap. If Zhuzhu really does this, she may be the senior sister in the future!"

Zhang Xiuhua was amused by his description, but he was right. There are very few domestic TV series now. Apart from the model operas, there are almost no dramas. Later, when the country had money, it could produce hundreds of TV series a year.

She thought for a moment and said, "Since you've decided to support her, then let's do it. The telephone line is booked in advance now, and it will take at least several months to install it."

Li Jianguo also knew about this. "Don't worry. Summer vacation will be over soon."

As the two were talking, Zhuzhu shouted from outside, "Mom, mom!"

The child shouted "Mom" not just once or twice, but like a machine gun firing several times. If he didn't agree to her, she would keep firing endlessly. Zhang Xiuhua agreed in the room, took off the bath towel in her hand, threw it into the water for him to rub himself, and opened the door to go out.

Zhuzhu was sweating from running, her face was a little tanned, but still pretty, "Oh, why is it so hot?"

Zhang Xiuhua pulled a towel from the rope, dipped it in water from the well, wrung it out, and wiped her face with it.

Zhuzhu held her hand tightly and laughed, "Mom, I want to eat sweet and sour pork."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you so greedy?! Didn't you eat well on the set?"

Zhuzhu waved her hands, with an expression that said "don't mention it". "I don't even want to say that food! It's really too disgusting. I think they fried the shredded potatoes into a pulp because they are young and have bad teeth!"

The voice was full of Northeastern accents, and Zhang Xiuhua was a little curious about how this play was filmed. Could the director find a dubbing artist for a child like Zhuzhu?

She stroked Zhuzhu's head and said, "Okay! I'll do it for you later."

Zhuzhu jumped for joy.

After Li Jianguo finished taking a shower, Zhang Xiuhua asked Zhuzhu to take a shower as well.

Zhuzhu went back to the house to find some clothes to change into. Zhang Xiuhua asked Li Jianguo to go to the post office to apply for a phone number and buy some pork at the same time.

Li Jianguo rode away on his bicycle.

Zhuzhu went into the kitchen holding the clothes, and Zhang Xiuhua followed her in to help her scrub her body.

"You two went to Hunan, but you didn't bring us any local specialties?" Zhang Xiuhua had just searched her bag, but found nothing.

Zhuzhu took off her clothes and sat in the bathtub. "Mom, it's not that I don't want to take you. It's just that I can't. It's really hot over there. The salted duck is delicious, but it will go bad in one night. The chili is delicious, but it's too spicy. Not many people in my family can eat spicy food. And the stinky tofu is delicious, too. I never knew that stinky tofu can be eaten before, but the smell is too strong. My dad won't let me take it..."

She counted all the local specialties and found that they were either inconvenient to carry, could not be carried, or were difficult to carry.

Zhang Xiuhua listened to her and said, "Didn't you say you suffered a lot over there? How come you're always eating stinky tofu and salted duck?"

"I couldn't eat the food from the crew. My dad went to the city to buy it for me. It was really delicious." Zhuzhu still craves the taste. But it's a pity that she may not be able to eat it in the future. It's not easy to go there. The journey almost killed her.
