apples more than anything

"Little Apple, do you think our current life is a bit rotten?"

Lei Qiu turned over to face Song Pingguo, with his back to the sunlight coming in from the window, judging from the noon news broadcast on TV now—it must be noon now.

"Let's be rotten. This is the life I dream of." Song Pingguo sat up from the bed, "Did you not turn off the TV before going to bed last night?"

"I thought you'd close it?"

"Didn't I sleep first? Why do you think I'll close it?"

"Obviously I slept first."

"Shall I sleep first?"

After about a minute of fierce quarreling, Song Pingguo finally found the TV remote control that Leiqiu had pressed under him, and used this as physical evidence to strongly condemn Leiqiu's sophistry.

Just last night, the third and fourth episodes of The Old Man Still Singing were aired.That is to say, Shan Siyan finally made his official appearance.

When it really came to this time, Lei Qiu didn't have any special feelings in her heart, and began to reflect on how she acted with a critical mood. After watching for a few minutes, she received a call from her parents.

Leiqiu knew that her parents were usually watching Approaching Science and Quyuan Miscellaneous, and had never seen the two of them watch TV dramas, but she patiently listened to the two long discussions on the phone like TV drama research critics, While she was on the phone, Song Pingguo turned on the phone camera and started recording on the TV screen.

Leiqiu held back her laughter until her parents finally finished their comments on the Chinese TV drama market and the overall production level of her old friend Youchang. She hung up the phone with a sense of relief and began to laugh at Song Pingguo: "Hahahahahahahahahaha what age is this?" ?! You can still watch it online later, and if it doesn’t work, you can still buy a DVD to watch it.”

When people are over-excited, they are likely to have some blind spots in thinking—commonly known as being stupid—Song Pingguo, who realized that she was being stupid just now, put away her phone in embarrassment and forcibly changed the subject: "You can watch it online, you How is the fried cp with mulberry sticks?"

"The show hasn't released any cp yet, it's early, don't forcefully change the subject, what on earth are you thinking, that you take out your phone to record on the screen?"

Annoyed, Song Pingguo picked up the pillow and pressed Leiqiu's face: "Leiqiu, if you don't give me face like this, I will cooperate with Gong Xiao to control your food!"

Because of her professional relationship, Song Pingguo is quite strong among her peers, but she still can't compare with Leiqiu. Leiqiu easily grabbed the pillow in her hand, put it on the sofa, patted it twice, and turned around. He turned his head and said solemnly: "Little Apple, you are my girlfriend, you must not bend your elbows when it comes to this kind of principled issue!"

Ever since Gong Xiao also mentioned this matter last time, Song Pingguo has been threatening Leiqiu with this, but in fact, Song Pingguo is the one who is most puzzled and dissatisfied with this request, so she wondered - Raichu isn't fat either?

If you don't look at Raichu herself, but only look at the number she weighed on the scale, you may indeed feel that Raichu is a bit fat, but as long as you see her, you will understand, because she is relatively strong, so she looks impressive The feeling is much thinner than that given by the weight data.

Song Pingguo felt that Leiqiu was obviously skinny in clothes and fleshy in clothes, saying that she was fat was too harsh, even her figure couldn't be said to be good, at least she should be classified as excellent!

Of course, Gong Xiao couldn't expect Leiqiu to consciously control his mouth, so he thought it was very clever to appoint Song Pingguo to supervise Leiqiu. Unexpectedly, Song Pingguo really had no "elbow" on this issue. Turning out", he stood firmly on Leiqiu's side, insisting that Leiqiu maintain his previous appetite.

However, it is undeniable that Leiqiu has a particularly strong appetite in winter, and Leiqiu in winter is very lazy and does not like to move. After a few days, she really gained a lot of weight.

It was only now that Song Pingguo started to get nervous. After all, it was difficult for her to explain to Gong Xiaoye that she was entrusted with loyalty.And Gong Xiao is also a foodie himself, so it is impossible to deliberately use this matter to make things difficult for Leiqiu. It must be the need of the "New Chance" character to ask Leiqiu to do so.

Although Leiqiu is not fat, what if people want a particularly thin one?

Thinking about it this way, the portion of food served on the table that night would be less, but Song Pingguo is not the kind of person who can be ruthless after all, seeing Leiqiu's pitiful look, she couldn't help but give her another supper .

After going back and forth like this for several days, Leiqiu was neither fat nor thin.

Song Pingguo comforted her intimately: "Just bear with it and it will be over...or let's eat it openly in the past few days, and eat less during the Chinese New Year..."

Originally, Lei Qiu was trying to get a supper from Song Pingguo by showing off her cuteness, but when she heard the word Chinese New Year, her brain, which has been a little lack of motivation recently, made her subconsciously blurt out: "Oh, by the way, you will come back to see me during the Chinese New Year." My parents."

When Song Pingguo heard this, she also blurted out: "Then what do my parents and I say?"

"Say you go back to see your girlfriend's parents on New Year's Eve, and then go back to pay them New Year's greetings on New Year's Eve. Or you go to celebrate the New Year with your parents first, and I will pick you up to my place in two days. Come how convenient you are, my parents don't like Why do you care when I go back, as long as I go back."

"...You are so straightforward."

"Even if it's you, you can't go around in circles." Lei Qiu said while biting his chopsticks.

Song Pingguo glared at her, and put the chopsticks on the bowl: "I'll go and add something for you."

Now Leiqiu also started to wonder, didn't he just say take her back to meet her parents, why panic?

Sensing someone sneaking into the kitchen behind her, Song Pingguo stood in front of the stove and let out a long sigh of relief, adjusted her kerchief, and asked Lei Qiu without looking back, "How long have we known each other?"

"Less than a year."

"Then how long have we been dating?"

"Uh... less than half a year, I don't remember the days very much."

"So you dare to take me back to meet my parents?" Song Pingguo tilted her head and considered her words, "No, so you have the nerve to take me back to meet my parents?"

"Oh little apple—"

"Don't hug me now, I'm cooking."

If there is any defect in Raichu's character, it is that she is really not suitable for keeping secrets for others.Subjectively, she doesn't want to tell other people's secrets, but asking her to keep it secret, and telling her not to tell it, is really a cruel torture for her. She can't bear to find someone to share the secret and mood.

All in all, Lei Qiu is a person who can't hide his words in his heart. This characteristic is a standard double-edged sword, which is easy to offend people and easy to like.

In complete contrast to her, Song Pingguo was cautious.

This is probably related to the growth environment of the two of them. Lei Qiu played wildly in the countryside since she was a child. In the environment she came into contact with, almost everyone was as straightforward as her. Will gossip behind people's backs.Song Pingguo is different. Her family runs a restaurant, and she makes money from being friendly. Normally, customers can't be angry—even if they have scolded them a million times in their hearts, they still can't show it on their face.

Song Pingguo's parents are very kind to Song Pingguo, but they are not the kind of trendy parents who are sensitive to children's psychology. They never thought about what was going on in Song Pingguo's head. Caring: It is difficult for people to understand what the other person is thinking, even between children and parents.

So Song Pingguo will never be as frank as Leiqiu.She has to keep everything in her stomach to judge the situation, and she has to brew and observe. Sometimes she still says half of what she says and keeps the other half. annoying.

"But... I can supervise you to eat less now. I can't stop you from letting you eat in front of your parents, can I?" Seeing Leiqiu, she didn't realize that Song Pingguo was going around in circles to express Only then did Song Pingguo express her real worry, "Then they will definitely think that I am abusing you all the time."

This question really stumped Raichu.

"Then...wait a little longer and discuss it." Leiqiu began to stare at the dishes in the pot, "Are you ready to eat? Can I have a bite?"

Before Lei Qiu could digest his dinner, he received a call from the head of the drama troupe.

On the phone, the group leader introduced Leiqiu to Jian Liang, who was the stage manager, and praised Jian Liang well, and then said that tonight they have a fairy tale play and it is the last rehearsal. If Leiqiu is free, you can come and have a look. Friends meet to catch up and chat.

"Available! Of course I am available!" Lei Qiu winked at Song Pingguo while making a phone call, and mouthed "Jian Liang".

Song Pingguo understood and mouthed "I want to go too".

Lei Qiu hung up the phone and replied with a smile: "Of course we will go together."

"What's the name of your regiment leader?" Song Pingguo helped Lei Qiu straighten the collar of his coat, "I always hear your regimental commander called you, and I don't even know his last name."

Leiqiu hesitated: "The leader won't let me speak."

"Is it like your master, also from the Pokémon series?"

"No, his name is more difficult to pronounce." Lei Qiu cleared his throat, "I tell you, don't let me miss it later, the leader will definitely beat me up. His name is Liu Nan."

"...Beef brisket?" Song Pingguo repeated it with difficulty, thinking that the name really tortured the tongue.

"It's Liu Nan." Lei Qiu corrected.

"Yes, brisket."

Raichu gave up on correcting it.

"Leader!" Lei Qiu punched someone on the back as soon as he entered the door, "Long time no see, come, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend."

The name of this man is Niu Li——no, he is the head of the drama troupe named Liu Nan. He seems to be a person who will have a good relationship with Leiqiu. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks like a good person.

This is one of the rules that Song Pingguo discovered. People who have a good relationship with Leiqiu basically follow this very real route. From this point of view, she is an exception.

Although she thinks she can be quite real sometimes.

Lei Qiu smiled and brought Song Pingguo over, and Song Pingguo greeted Liu Nan with a smile: "Hello, my name is Song Pingguo."

"My god, I feel like I know enough people to form a mutual aid association with a strange name." Liu Nan straightened up from the props he was dumping just now, and wiped the sweat from his head, "Hey! Xiao Zhou , Jian Liang hasn't come yet?"

A reply came from afar: "No!"

"It's weird..." Liu Nan frowned in distress, "It stands to reason that he should have arrived long ago, he is always early and never late..."

Liu Nan had a very good impression of Jian Liang, but Lei Qiu and Song Pingguo knew that it was not surprising that someone with Jian Liang's personality suddenly lost the chain.Leiqiu thought that he might be squatting on the side of the road waiting for the owner because he picked up the wallet...then it should be a phone call, right?

Liu Nan made three or four phone calls in a row, but Jian Liang didn't answer. Seeing that the rehearsal was about to start, Liu Nan was in a hurry, and hurriedly wrote an address and stuffed it into Lei Qiu's hand: "You have nothing to do here, help me run for a while." Go to this kid's house and see what he's doing."

Like Leiqiu and Song Pingguo who are working hard in a foreign land, Jian Liang is currently living in a community of rented houses near the theater.

Of course, compared to Jian Liang, both Lei Qiu and Song Pingguo are embarrassed to say that they are "working hard".

The two of them climbed up to the sixth floor following the address given by Liu Nan. Lei Qiu, who was walking in front, saw the scene in the corridor on the sixth floor. He was so frightened that he backed up several steps, climbed up trembling, and put his hand on Jian Liang's nose. He tried his breathing, and then breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the cold sweat on his face, turned his head and called Song Pingguo: "Come up, little Apple, he seems to have passed out."

Jian Liang was holding the key in his hand, looking at him, he seemed to have fainted when he lowered his head to pick up the key. Lei Qiu first used the key to open the door, dragged him in and put him on the sofa in the living room.

"Pinch someone?" Song Pingguo reminded.

Lei Qiu stretched out his hand and slapped the crowd fiercely, Jian Liang straightened up and sat up, Lei Qiu asked him: "What's the matter with you? Fortunately, I am strong, otherwise I would have killed you in the corridor When I woke up, those who didn’t know thought that Little Apple and I were destroying corpses.”

"I... I'm anemic..."

Lei Qiu looked him up and down: "Well, I can tell."

Before he finished speaking, Jian Liang fell back on the sofa in a daze. Lei Qiu reached out to pinch him again, but was stopped by Song Pingguo.

"Go to the nearby supermarket and buy some pork liver and shredded pork..."

"Don't!" Jian Liang, who was leaning on the sofa, suddenly shouted loudly, "There is pork liver in the refrigerator, don't waste it!"

"Okay, then go and buy some shredded pork, and make a phone call to inform the group leader what's going on here."

When Leiqiu ran all the way back with the shredded pork, Song Pingguo was washing the scum off the scalded pork liver in the kitchen.Knowing that it was provided for patients, Leiqiu couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing? Can I eat it? Can I have a bite?"

Song Pingguo could hear these three ultimate philosophical questions from Leiqiu several times a day, and she answered skillfully as she took the shredded pork: "Pork liver soup. Not yet. Yes."

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or the effect of this thing is so immediate. After drinking a bowl of hot pork liver soup, Jian Liang's complexion looks much rosier immediately, but he still walks shaky, let alone going to rehearsal. How many steps you can walk outside the house is a problem.

"You can rest at home." Song Pingguo reached out to Jian Liang, "Lend me the schedule."

Without knowing why, Jian Liang took out the agenda from his pocket and handed it to Song Pingguo.

"What are you going to do?" Leiqiu asked Song Pingguo as he walked out the door, "A gorgeous appearance to save the world?"

"Have you forgotten what I studied in college?" Song Pingguo tore off her scarf and put it back in her pocket, "Of course I went to take a temporary class."

"Just pretend and you do." Leiqiu glanced at the schedule in Song Pingguo's hand, "You still went to high school, I'm going to write a high school level trigonometry problem, you can do it for me to see?"

"Then you first write a trigonometric function problem at the high school level. If you dare to write it, I will dare to write it."

Song Pingguo really had no idea.Seeing her guilty look, Lei Qiu began to encourage her again.

"What are you worrying about? If you have no practical experience, Jian Liang didn't find a professional job after graduating from university. His work experience was exhausted and he was introduced to the troupe by me in the past few months. And Little Apple, You must be much smarter than Jian Liang." Lei Qiu sighed, "I still can't figure out how his honest and soft persimmon can hold the scene."

In Leiqiu's troupe, there is generally no director. The stage manager is the director of a drama.In fact, many troupes do this, and the head of the troupe just chooses a path he thinks is appropriate to develop the troupe.

This means that there is another layer of relationship between the stage manager and the actors, that is, the relationship between the director and the actors.

In the case of film and TV series, the relationship between director and actor is very complicated.There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers, and there are also a thousand scripts in the eyes of a thousand people. You read it and think it should be acted in this way, and she thinks it should be acted in that way after reading it. Most of the time, everyone listens to the director, the director I said how it came about, but if I have a stubborn temper, I will start arguing with the director: You are wrong, I think this paragraph should be acted like this...

If you meet a good-tempered director who is willing to discuss with you, the discussion may result in a satisfactory result for everyone. If you meet a bad-tempered one, just wait.

In the repertory theater, this situation is actually a little more serious.

It stands to reason that a theater troupe is not like a crew that has to be dismantled and reorganized every time a new project is filmed. There are usually so many people in a crew, and everyone is familiar with it.This seems to make the rehearsal more peaceful, but when you think about it carefully, the more familiar you are, the better.

Moreover, if you are acting in TV dramas or movies, you may meet with the director or other partners in the future, and you may also hang out in the same circle. People in the troupe...

Anyway, we're all in the same troupe, and you don't see each other when you look up all day long, so you're too embarrassed to be too stiff.

Therefore, on the contrary, it is easy to make the sky dim and the sun and the moon dark.

In addition, the drama actors are more or less paranoid about acting. After they have their own style, they will have more opinions of their own. The chances of quarreling are too great.

Therefore, as a stage manager who is also in charge of directing affairs, what you need is not only professional quality, but also an aura that can hold the whole scene.

Song Pingguo felt that she had no such aura at all.

Although she knew this clearly, she asked Jian Liang for the schedule book by accident, and took over this matter by accident. I really want to ask why...

What Song Pingguo didn't want to admit was that she wanted to be handsome in front of Leiqiu.
