Farming and Bend the National Husband

After the script of Zhao Zezhong's new movie was finalized, it entered the preparatory stage.

The previous films made Zhao Zezhong a lot of money, so this film still plans to use the original director.On the one hand, we have collaborated several times, and Zhao Zezhong felt that his shooting techniques suit his taste, and of course the most important thing is that he can make money for him.

The director has not been changed, so it is convenient to form a crew. Basically, they are all the same crew, except for a few people who couldn't get away because of other business, so they didn't come.

The funds have already been settled, and after those investors signed the investment letter of intent, they have already transferred the money into the special account.

This account is linked to Xia Jiusheng's company and is managed by Uncle Huang.

So on the bright side, Uncle Huang is the producer of this movie and has great power.

As for some side work, Zhao Zezhong's management company is dedicated to doing these things.

It is not a problem to review the script and obtain a shooting license. The films invested by Zhao Zezhong still strictly control the vulgar content, and violent and pornographic plots are basically excluded, so there is no need to worry about failing.

Once the props are in place, the shooting location is confirmed, and the actors are in place, the filming can begin.

Because it was still an idol film, Uncle Huang didn't forget Xia Jiusheng's cousin, Chen Rong, and reserved a role for her in advance, asking her to play the most popular second female lead in the film.

When Chen Rong received a call from the director at school, she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep, and called Xia Jiusheng overnight to announce the good news.

Xia Jiusheng curled his lips, he was so happy to play the second female lead in a movie he invested in, and he was so happy to ask you to play the female lead, wouldn't it be a joy to play?

Uncle Huang's arrangement also allowed her to get acquainted with the film and television industry earlier. Although there are many things taught in college, graduation is all theoretical. Only when you really stand in front of the camera can you understand what abilities a professional actor needs to possess.

I hope that through this filming, my cousin can find the gap between herself and professional actors, so that she can learn in a targeted manner in the future.

Of course, the more important thing is that Uncle Huang knows that Chen Rong has no money, and making movies is the easiest way for everyone who studies acting to make money.

As long as Chen Rong doesn't behave too badly, Uncle Huang will keep this way of making money in the future for her.

Time passed day by day, the two sessions were drawing to a close, and new leaders were finally elected.

Seeing the photos and names of Uncle Zhao and Uncle Li appearing at the forefront of the leaders, Xia Jiusheng really felt at this moment that both the Zhao family and the Li family had reached the pinnacle of the political arena.

Xia's father and Xia's mother also saw two familiar faces because their son turned on the news broadcast.

When the two old men were in the courtyard, Uncle Zhao and Uncle Li visited Xia Jiusheng's house successively as guests, and they all sat at the same table for dinner, so they were no strangers.

Thinking that Xiao Zhao was born in such a family, Mother Xia's mood was very complicated.

On the one hand, she was fortunate that her son liked men, and she was always worried that he would be looked down upon and live in pain.Now that he has found a partner with such a family background, as long as there is no problem in the relationship between the two of them in the future, no one would dare to make irresponsible remarks to his son with the protection of Xiao Zhao.

On the other hand, it is sad. The other party is such a family. Even if they want to stop it, they probably can't do it. They can only agree to their relationship.

It would be great if one of the son and Xiao Zhao was a woman, Mother Xia sighed in her heart.

"Brother, is that Uncle Zhao?" An An, who lived in Zhao's house with Xia Jiusheng for a few days during the Spring Festival, knew Uncle Zhao very well, and asked uncertainly facing the photos on TV.

"It's Uncle Zhao." Xia Jiusheng turned around and replied.

"Oh." An An nodded, looking at the TV screen seriously, her eyes sparkling. "Uncle Zhao is really amazing. When I grow up, I want to be such a big official."

"Okay, my family An'an has ambition." Xia Jiusheng smiled and gave him a thumbs up, encouraging him.

It is always a good thing for a boy to be ambitious, although he is not optimistic about his younger brother.

Their Xia family is an ordinary family, not to mention the position, even climbing to the department level is extremely difficult.

Politics is the most important thing about family background, especially since the country has developed to the present, and there are a lot of vested interests, how can they give up their positions to ordinary people like them?

"My father is also a high-ranking official." Ah Fu lowered his head and was playing Rubik's Cube. Hearing that An'an was praised by the master, he raised his head and shouted at Xia Jiusheng.

"How old is your father?" Xia Jiusheng asked with a smile.

He has always felt that although Ah Fu is smart and clever, he is not as shrewd as his peers. Sometimes he likes to speak in a big way, and often he doesn't even know what his parents do.

"He is the secretary of the provincial party committee." Ah Fu said loudly.

"Haha——" Xia Jiusheng and his parents laughed seeing Ah Fu answering proudly and proudly.

"How do you remember it so clearly this time! Who taught you?" Xia Jiusheng pinched his nose and asked curiously.

"An An told me." Ah Fu pursed his lips and glanced at An An.

"Oh." Xia Jiusheng nodded.

It seems that An An's desire to become an official is not a joke, he really has such an ideal, otherwise at his age, it is unlikely that he would care about Uncle Duan's official position, after all, these matters have never been discussed in the family.

As for his character, Xia Jiusheng himself didn't know whether he would be suitable to be an official in the future, so of course he couldn't see it.

This weekend, Li Qiaowei and Su Cheng brought all the staff of the pet shop and pet hospital to Xiajiazhuang for a spring outing.

Xia Jiusheng answered the phone early and walked to Da'aokou to meet them. Seeing that the minibus they drove was full of twenty seats, he secretly liked it.

Li Qiaowei and Su Cheng are rich people, and they should be able to make a good fortune this weekend.

"Xiao Xia." Li Qiaowei walked up to Xia Jiusheng, smiled and stretched out her arms to hug him.

Xia Jiu gave her a gloomy look, and hugged him helplessly.This Li Qiaowei is getting closer and closer to herself, and seems to have a tendency to treat him as a best friend.

The problem is that he never feels feminine, and he doesn't have the slightest interest in women's topics?

In front of outsiders, Su Cheng still has the expression of an abstinent male god, but in Xia Jiusheng's view, since he and Li Qiaowei got married, his so-called abstinence is all a lie.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here." A little girl stood in the parking lot at the entrance of Da'ao, looking at the intersection of Da'ao, exaggeratedly exclaiming.

I don’t know if it’s because Xia Jiusheng used space water, but the bougainvillea and vine roses planted on the side of the road have grown so long that they almost cover the shelves. It is located in an arched flower road, which is very beautiful.

"Yes, it's a pity that it came early, and it hasn't bloomed yet." Another little girl said with a sigh. "If these triangular berries and roses are in full bloom, it must be beautiful."

While talking, these people took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and hurriedly passed them on to their circle of friends.

"You guys are mistaken." Li Qiaowei said exaggeratedly. "We came here for a spring outing not only because of the beautiful environment here, but also because of the delicious food here. As long as you eat it once, you will never forget it for the rest of your life."

"Is it as exaggerated as you said? Weiwei group." A plump little girl swallowed and asked softly.

"When have I lied to you?" Li Qiaowei stretched out her hand to flick the little girl's forehead. "I'm afraid that you will be full after a while, so don't blame me."

"Don't blame it, let's talk about it after eating, and at worst, exercise to lose weight." A girl twisted her body and made an exercise posture.

Xia Jiusheng and Su Cheng walked in front of the team and led them inside, ignoring Li Qiaowei and their jokes.

It is now late March, and this season is the most suitable for going out in the countryside.

What's more, the weather happened to be fine and sunny today, and everyone walked out of the reinforced concrete jungle in Yucheng, and suddenly came to this green environment, and felt the spring breeze blowing on their faces, and the garden was full of spring scenery, and they felt indescribably comfortable and joyful.

"Ah——" a girl stopped suddenly, folded her hands into a trumpet shape around her mouth, and yelled loudly as if venting to Shanao.

"What's the matter, Xiaohong? Broken in love?" A boy next to her asked with concern.

"I want you to take care of it." The girl named Xiaohong glared at the boy, blaming him for meddling in his own business.

The boy made fun of it, and walked behind awkwardly.

Xia Jiusheng looked back at them curiously, and suddenly realized that someone had been secretly following him.

It was a tall man in his thirties, wearing a long thin windbreaker, his facial features had been carefully groomed, and he looked very fresh.

Xia Jiusheng only glanced at him, then turned around and continued walking, ignoring him.

When I was in junior high school, I found out that I liked Du Gaotian, who was of the same gender. I was very scared, thinking that I was the only one in the whole world with such strange hobbies.After I came into contact with the Internet after high school, I realized that there are many people like him.

Stepping into the society after graduating from high school, I have experienced more people and things, and it is not once or twice that I am paid attention to by such eyes, and I gradually get used to it.

In the past, some girls praised him for being handsome, and he himself felt the same way. Only later did he realize that his appearance was actually more attractive to the same sex.

No matter what, although he didn't get Du Gaotian, he was lucky to have Zhao Zezhong now, and he was very satisfied.

Mother Xia was still in the courtyard, originally planning to dig some wild vegetables in the field, seeing her son bring such a large group of guests in, she hurried out to help settle them down.

In the guest room area on the second floor, each room is well-equipped, and the configuration is no worse than that of the standard rooms outside, and the decoration of the rooms is made of wood, which is more rustic.

After they all put away their luggage, washed up and came out, they were allowed to act freely, and Xia Jiusheng and Xia's mother also went to do their own things.

Mother Xia carried a bamboo basket and went to dig wild vegetables in the field.

In the area of ​​Yucheng, there are not many wild vegetables that people often eat, except Malan head and shepherd's purse.

Another plant that I have to mention here is Ai Qing.It is not used as a dish, Yucheng people are used to making dumplings or green balls with it.

After the weeds in the field are green all over the field every year, these wild vegetables will start to grow.

A woman of Mama Xia's age follows the old tradition and believes that these wild vegetables are good for the eyes, so at this time of the year, whenever she has free time, she will go home to harvest some and make delicious cold dishes for the whole family to share.

In fact, for Chinese medicine, these wild vegetables can not only improve eyesight, but also have the effect of invigorating the stomach, invigorating the spleen and detoxifying, especially Ai Qing, which is good for annealing and disinfection, fumigating and killing insects.

This spring came early this year. After the slope of the field, a lot of Malantou and shepherd's purse had grown. It didn't take long for Xia's mother to cut a basket full.

Except for keeping some at home, she sent the rest to the restaurant and asked the chef to make cold dishes for guests from the city to taste.

Now wild vegetables can also be bought in the city, but most of them are not wild, and the fragrance is not very strong, not as good as the fragrance that Mother Xia cut directly from the fields.

When I heard that Su Cheng, Li Qiaowei and colleagues came to Xiajiazhuang for a spring outing, those bad friends were not polite, they brought their own friends and rushed over to eat free food.

At noon, three tables were opened in the private restaurant. The weather is fine today, so the tables are placed on the terrace by the reservoir, where you can enjoy the lake and mountains while eating.

They have eaten the food of Xia Jiusheng's family countless times, but they can't eat it in other places, so every time they come, they are still full of praise while eating.

These people are not short of money, all they lack is time, otherwise they would not be able to afford spending if they come here every now and then.

Naturally, Xia Jiusheng was also here to accompany them.

Everyone has been getting along for a long time, and their personalities are gradually getting to know each other. Jokes are jokes, and they won't force each other to do things they don't like. Xia Jiusheng has become more and more comfortable with them.

After lunch, Li Qiaowei took the girls and went for a walk around to digest food. As for the male compatriots, except for a few who were tired, they went back to the room to rest. Most of them took the fishing rods and went fishing by the pond.

Xia Jiusheng returned to his room and drank two glasses of white wine with them at noon, blushing a bit lazy, he didn't use zhenqi to drive away the alcohol, but went back to the room to take a nap.

On the balcony of the room, there was a lazy chair, similar to that kind of rattan rocking chair. It was still cold, and a blanket was spread on it. Xia Jiusheng went to the balcony, took off his shoes, and lay down.

The sunlight coming in through the glass was not dazzling, Xia Jiusheng lazily closed his eyes and fell asleep.

※※※

Although Su Cheng took the fishing rod, like Xia Jiusheng, he was also a little sleepy after drinking some wine.

Fortunately, every fishing position has a huge sun umbrella, and there are two deck chairs side by side under it. Su Cheng threw out the bait, put the fishing rod under his feet, and lay down on the chair.

Half asleep and half awake, I realized that there was someone sitting on the chair next to me.

Su Cheng opened his eyes and saw that it was Dr. Zhou, a doctor from his pet hospital.

"Why doesn't Dr. Zhou go fishing? What are you doing here?" Our colleagues are used to it, so Su Cheng asked casually without thinking too much.

"Fishing alone is a bit boring, so I came to chat with Dr. Su." In the hospital, everyone either called him Dean Su or Dr. Su, and he was used to it.

Want to chat with me?Su Cheng was a little surprised.

If he wanted to chat, shouldn't he find the doctor surnamed Chen?

After accidentally discovering their secret last time, although they tried their best to pretend to be ordinary colleagues in front of everyone, Su Cheng could always detect the subtle differences between the two of them and others.

On this point, Su Cheng didn't think much about it. With his emotional intelligence, he could naturally understand their concerns. After all, this society still discriminates against homosexuality. If others knew about it, they might look at them with colored eyes.

As their boss, I can't help much, I can only hope that they will be happy together.

"By the way, Doctor Su, is the boss here the young man surnamed Xia?" Doctor Zhou asked curiously.

"Yes, Xiao Xia is the boss here." Su Cheng actually has a good impression of Xia Jiusheng. If he and Zhao Zezhong hadn't come together, it's not certain whether the matter between himself and Li Qiaowei would be successful.

After all, the Zhao and Li families are not ordinary families. If Zhao Zezhong is unwilling to let Li Qiaowei go, he has nothing to do.

It can be said that Xia Jiusheng saved their relationship if he and Li Qiaowei went so smoothly.

"It's not easy to become a boss at such a young age." Doctor Zhou exclaimed, "He should only be in his twenties, right?"

"Yes, he is just 20 years old this year." Xia Jiusheng's successful development of Da'ao was of course inseparable from the support of the Zhao family, but it was also inseparable from his personal ability.

Su Cheng also knew some Xia Jiusheng's secrets intermittently, such as his extraordinary medical skills, his super strength and so on.If he was just an ordinary person, no one would be willing to spend so much energy supporting him!

"Seeing that his parents are also ordinary farmers, is there any other relative who is an official?" The doctor surnamed Zhou said to himself.

"Why do you care about this?" Su Cheng asked strangely.

"It's nothing, just chatting nonsense." The doctor surnamed Zhou said in a disguised manner.

"Is your curiosity too strong?" Su Cheng smiled.

Suddenly thinking of his sexual orientation, he couldn't help but glance at him.

Could it be that he was moved by Xia Jiusheng's handsome looks?

Objectively speaking, Dr. Zhou's qualifications are pretty good. He is 28 years old this year. He is tall and handsome, with handsome features. He is also a pet doctor. He has a decent job and a good salary. Among his peers, he is considered young and promising.

But to match Xia Jiusheng, it's far from it.

"It's not surprising, is it? Everyone will be curious about a young and promising man." Dr. Zhou thought that Su Cheng didn't know his sexuality yet, so he said plausibly: "Besides, at our age, we have to expand our life circle and make friends with people with potential. friend--"

"You're right." It's not easy for Su Cheng to expose his sexuality, "But Xiao Xia is special, he's picky about his friends, so he might not necessarily be interested in meeting new friends."

"Doctor Su, you're wrong to say that. It's different to make friends. Why are you so sure that he doesn't want to make friends with me?" Doctor Zhou was a little unconvinced.

He has been in this circle for a long time, and his vision is still very poisonous. Xia Jiusheng must also be gay, and his attributes are still biased. He is so handsome and offensive, how can he not attract him?

Su Cheng was speechless.

This Dr. Zhou is considered a handsome guy in his own pet hospital. Usually, many people praise him, which makes him very proud and overestimates his appearance.

Maybe he can't be blamed for this. After all, most people don't have the opportunity to get in touch with the upper circle. In their circle, there are few attackers with his appearance, so he is qualified to pick and choose.

"Okay." Su Cheng didn't want to hurt his self-confidence. "However, what I want to remind you is that the nephew of a deputy director of the Yucheng Police Station used to pester Xiaoxia to make friends, and later caused his uncle to be kicked out of the police system—"

"Uh——" Dr. Zhou is not a fool. Hearing what Su Cheng said, he immediately understood.

It turned out that the boss already knew what was on his mind.

"Boss, I'm just—not what you think." He explained without saying a word.

"I understand that everyone is an adult and it's normal to have their own ideas." Su Cheng found a step for him. "But in this world, there are still strata. Some people, we are not qualified to provoke—"

"Yes, yes." Doctor Zhou nodded repeatedly.

※※※

Xia Jiusheng woke up after a nap, but he didn't know that Su Cheng had solved a problem for him.

In the kitchen, Mama Xia was cooking Aiqing dumpling and was about to make green dumplings later.

"Mom, did you go to cut the greens just now?" Xia Jiusheng asked.

"Yes." Mother Xia nodded. "Didn't your friends say they wanted to eat green dumplings at noon? Anyway, the outside is full of greens, so it's convenient for me to cut some fresh and make them."

"What stuffing are you going to wrap?" Xia Jiusheng asked.

Making green dumplings is not at all easier than making zongzi for the Chinese New Year, and there are many things to prepare.

"What kind of stuffing do you want to eat? The ready-made ingredients can be used to make stuffing like pickles, shiitake mushrooms, dried tofu, black sesame, and bean paste. It's too late to cook now. Let's make it next time." Mama Xia said.

"Well, let's make these two kinds, both sweet and salty." Xia Jiusheng said. "Have the black sesame seeds been fried? Do you want me to crush them?"

"There are still fried sesame seeds in the refrigerator, so you can smash them, anyway, you are strong." Xia's mother went to the refrigerator to get the fried sesame seeds and handed them to him.

Xia Jiusheng poured sesame seeds into a large bowl, took a special wooden stick, sat on a chair, and pounded them carefully.

"Sister, you also cut the greens?" The second aunt came in from the outside and saw Mother Xia kneading the green balls into the flour, and called.

"Yes, some customers said they wanted to eat, so I went to cut some." Xia's mother saw her sister, and responded happily: "You came just in time, help me pack together later, there are more than 20 guests, at least prepare It’s only good for a hundred bags, it’s too slow for one person.”

"Okay." The second aunt went to the sink to wash her hands, put on sleeves and an apron, and came to help.

After Xia Jiusheng smashed the sesame seeds until they melted, he added cotton white sugar, pounded it a few more times, and put it aside for later use.

I went to the kitchen to get pickles, chopped them into pieces, dried tofu and cut them into very fine pieces, and pinched the shiitake mushrooms that my mother soaked in the big bowl. They were not soft enough, so I cut them later.
