Chapter 376 376. Careful Thoughts
The caller was Lin Yifei. After waiting for the whole morning, Nie Wei didn't show up at all. The girl couldn't help but call him.
Nie Wei hurriedly typed and said goodbye to Yang Mi, while answering the phone with a guilty conscience, because he had already remembered what he promised Lin Yifei in the morning, but he was too absorbed in playing games just now and forgot about it for a while.
"Where are the Spring Festival couplets? I've been waiting for you all morning." As soon as the call was connected, Lin Yifei asked immediately, with a resentful tone, obviously dissatisfied with Nie Wei's efficiency.
"I've written it. I'll send it to you after lunch." Nie Wei said.
"Come to my house for lunch. My mother made your favorite cherry meat and vinegar potato shreds for lunch." Lin Yifei also lied with her eyes open. When her mother just went out, she asked her what she wanted to eat. She answered casually, obviously she didn't know what she could eat for lunch.
However, in order to deceive Nie Wei, the little girl lied without hesitation, and at most she would call her mother later, anyway, lunch had not been decided yet.
Nie Wei thought about it and nodded in agreement.
After hanging up the phone, Nie Wei immediately ran to the study and saw Zhou Aiguo drinking tea and reading inside.
"What's the matter, you're in a hurry?" Zhou Aiguo asked in surprise when he saw Nie Wei rushing in.
"Quick, help me find the pen and ink, and the red paper for the Spring Festival couplets left yesterday, I need them urgently." Nie Wei didn't bother to explain and said directly.
Zhou Aiguo could see that Nie Wei was in a hurry, so he didn't ask any more questions. The things left over from yesterday were placed in the bookcase. He didn't even leave his chair, but turned around and took them out.
"Who are you going to write Spring Festival couplets for?" Zhou Aiguo asked curiously as he watched Nie Wei start to grind ink.
"Xixi, you suddenly asked me for a pair of Spring Festival couplets. I forgot about it while playing games just now, and now you're calling to urge me." Nie Wei explained.
"Then I'll help you grind the ink, and you think about what to write." Zhou Aiguo smiled and took the initiative to help. Nie Wei was not polite either, and handed the ink stick in his hand to Zhou Aiguo, and began to think about what to write.
Because Lin Yifei didn't ask for anything, Nie Wei picked up a lucky couplet and wrote a couplet, then waited for the ink to dry and immediately put it into the painting bucket, then said goodbye to Zhou Aiguo, left a message saying that he would not be home for lunch, and then ran away.
"Aiguo, the child is not home for lunch?" Su Qing heard Nie Wei's words and ran out to ask Nie Wei, but found that he had disappeared, so she had to ask Zhou Aiguo who stayed there.
"Well, Nie Wei went to see a friend." Zhou Aiguo replied.
"He ran to someone else's house on the first day of the new year. This kid is really."
Nie Wei had already driven his Mercedes Benz off-road vehicle to Lin Yifei's neighborhood. On the way, he also selected a few things in a nearby high-end gift shop. After all, it's not good to come empty-handed on the New Year's Day.
Ten minutes later, Nie Wei stood at the door of Lin Yifei's house and rang the doorbell.
In less than five seconds, the door opened, and then Lin Yifei stretched out a little head, looking at Nie Wei with a smile in her eyes.
"Where's Auntie?" Nie Wei asked quietly after entering the house, and the answer he got was that Lin Xiaoli had indeed gone out to buy groceries.
"You should have said it earlier, I entered directly with the password." Nie Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and then handed all the gifts he bought directly to Lin Yifei, saying: "New Year's gifts for Auntie, please keep them."
"So heavy, what are they?" Lin Yifei asked while carrying several handbags with difficulty.
"They are all supplements, I didn't see the details, I just asked the clerk to give me their best." Nie Wei replied, watching Lin Yifei running to the kitchen with difficulty carrying the bags, and he didn't mean to help.
Who asked this girl to toss herself during the New Year, she should suffer a little.
"As expected, rich people have such a special way of buying things." Lin Yifei piled the things in the kitchen and came back, just in time to hear Nie Wei say this, and immediately complained.
Nie Wei shrugged and accepted Lin Yifei's evaluation frankly.
"Where's my gift?" Lin Yifei naturally would not forget the main point of calling Nie Wei this time.
"It's ready here." Nie Wei handed the painting bucket on his back to Lin Yifei, which contained the couplet he wrote.
Lin Yifei took the painting bucket as soon as she heard it, and after opening it, she couldn't wait to take out the couplet inside.
"Farewell to the old year in the sound of firecrackers, herald the new year in the fragrance of plum blossoms, and the horizontal scroll of the golden rooster announces good news. This couplet is so tacky." After opening it, Lin Yifei read it while opening it, but her tone gradually changed from excitement at the beginning to a little disappointed.
"You told me to write it casually." Nie Wei replied immediately.
"I told you to write it casually, but you can't be too perfunctory. This is obviously copying those couplets printed in batches outside." Lin Yifei said.
"Spring Festival couplets are folk customs. The fact that they are printed in batches shows that this poem is good."
"Excuse." Lin Yifei exposed Nie Wei's words without hesitation, and then put on an unreasonable attitude and said directly: "Write me another one. This time I say you write it."
Nie Wei did not refute immediately, but looked around, spread his hands, and said: "There is no pen, ink, or red paper here. Even if I want to write, I can't do it."
Lin Yifei heard Nie Wei's words, suddenly showing an expression of knowing everything, and then immediately said: "Who said there is no, I have prepared it."
Then Nie Wei was stunned and quickly took out the brush and ink. Although there was no red paper, there was rice paper. Nie Wei took a look and found that this rice paper was the fine rice paper of Red Star. This box of rice paper was worth tens of thousands of yuan. The set of brushes was also the best wolf hair brushes, and the price was tens of thousands of yuan. Even the ink sticks were the best Hui ink, which cost at least several thousand yuan.
In addition to these, there were inkstones and paperweights. Seeing these things, Nie Wei stared at Lin Yifei with a strange look, and felt that he seemed to have fallen into the trap of the girl.
Lin Yifei felt a little guilty when she was looked at by Nie Wei, and quickly diverted her attention and introduced the things she took out.
In fact, Lin Yifei didn't plan to ask for Spring Festival couplets from the beginning. After all, Shu Chang already had one. Wouldn't it seem that she picked up Shu Chang's leftovers if she asked for more? The girl didn't agree, so Lin Yifei came up with this idea. She first deliberately asked Nie Wei to write the Spring Festival couplets without telling him what she wanted. When the time came, no matter whether Nie Wei wrote well or not, she just had to deny that she didn't like it, and then take advantage of the situation to ask him to write another one for her, then the purpose would be achieved naturally.
And these things were "borrowed" by Lin Yifei from an elder's house early in the morning. For this reason, she got up early in the morning to visit her. It was really well-intentioned to make her who loved to sleep in so diligent.
Seeing the girl clumsily changing the subject, Nie Wei smiled and asked her what she wanted to write.
The girl was still thinking about it. In fact, she had been thinking about it for a whole morning, but she still hadn't figured out what to write. Nie Wei knew how confused she was at the moment by looking at her, so he simply made his own decision again.
"Water lilies emerge from clear water, naturally without any decoration." Nie Wei deliberately used the thin gold font, and the words written by him were particularly beautiful with this poem. Lin Yifei couldn't take her eyes away after taking a look, and her face was a little red. Of course, she could see that Nie Wei was praising her again.
"You acted on your own again." Lin Yifei was very happy in her heart, but she said one thing and meant another when she said it.
"Don't like it? Then I'll throw it away and rewrite it." Nie Wei was about to throw away the words written on the table, but before his hand touched the rice paper, he was quickly stopped by Lin Yifei beside him.
"I just said that you acted on your own, but I didn't say I didn't like it. I like it very much. I'll frame it later, okay?" The girl rolled her eyes at Nie Wei. This guy never knew the word "humility" when he was with her. It should be annoying, but the reality was just the opposite. She enjoyed the way of communicating with Nie Wei.
Just when Lin Yifei was about to put away the rice paper, there was a sound of pressing a password outside the door. The two immediately knew that it was Lin Xiaoli who came home.
As expected, the door opened and it was Lin Xiaoli who walked in.
"Hello, Auntie." Nie Wei took two steps forward and took the dishes from Lin Xiaoli's hand, then greeted her politely.
"Mom, Nie Wei also brought you gifts. They are all in the kitchen. They are very high-end, and there are a lot of them." Lin Yifei said immediately on the side. That little look was afraid that Nie Wei would leave a bad impression in his mother's eyes.
"It's okay for people to come. Why bring gifts? Xiaowei, eat some fruit to fill your stomach first. Auntie will go to cook. Knowing that you are coming, I bought a lot of ingredients for you. Try my cooking today."
"Auntie's food is the best, otherwise I wouldn't come so early." Nie Wei replied, and his sweet mouth made Lin Xiaoli's face full of smiles.
Lin Xiaoli changed her clothes and went into the kitchen quickly. Naturally, Nie Wei couldn't just sit in the living room and eat fruit. He went in to help in the kitchen with great discretion. Even Lin Yifei, who usually didn't do any housework, joined in the fun.
However, except for peeling half a potato at the beginning, she was immediately stopped by Nie Wei.
Seeing her peeling potatoes, let alone how she peeled them, the posture was scary. Nie Wei stood aside and kept his heart hanging in his throat, fearing that the girl would cut his fingers the next moment. As a result, the girl only peeled half a potato, and Nie Wei, who was standing aside, was already sweating coldly.
"Come, eat an apple." Having been forcibly deprived of the right to help, Lin Yifei found something else to do. After a while, she ran to the kitchen with a fruit plate and fed Nie Wei with her own hands.
Nie Wei smiled bitterly, opened his mouth and bit the apple that Lin Yifei had already handed to his lips, and then kept signaling Lin Xiaoli beside him with his eyes.
Seeing Nie Wei's eyes, Lin Yifei suddenly understood, and then picked up another apple and handed it to Lin Xiaoli who was cutting tomatoes.
Lin Xiaoli ate the apple, but her eyes scanned back and forth between the two children. Nie Wei could still act calm, but Lin Yifei felt uncomfortable all over. After feeding Nie Wei two more apples, she found an excuse to run out.
"Nie Wei, how is your relationship with Changchang?" When Lin Yifei went out, Nie Wei had no time to breathe a sigh of relief, and Lin Xiaoli beside him suddenly asked.
"Very good." Nie Wei was stunned, and then immediately answered, but he felt a little weak in his heart, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Yifei who was hiding in the living room.
"Very good." Lin Xiaoli replied with a smile.
These four simple words made Nie Wei always feel that there was a lot of meaning in them, so that he became a little uneasy in his heart, and later he almost cut his finger when cutting potato shreds.
Then he was asked to leave the kitchen by Lin's mother.
With a long sigh of relief, Nie Wei walked to the living room and found that Lin Yifei was not watching TV, but reading.
"The Return of the Condor Heroes, are you still doing your homework?" Nie Wei walked in and saw that it was The Return of the Condor Heroes, so he immediately asked with a smile.
"Well, after all, the filming is about to start." Lin Yifei replied with a hint of trepidation in her tone. After all, she is not as powerful as Nie Wei. Her acting skills have always been questioned by the outside world, so that she herself has been affected to a certain extent and has some inferiority complex about her acting skills.
"Let's read the script more. Although the TV series is adapted from the novel, there will definitely be some differences. The script is what we really want to shoot." Nie Wei suggested.
"I also read the script and compare it." Lin Yifei explained, and then took out a thick script from under the coffee table in front of her.
Nie Wei nodded, then took the script from the girl and asked her what she didn't understand.
For a period of time afterwards, Nie Wei was teaching Lin Yifei some of the confusions about the script. Nie Wei's teaching was very special. He would not tell the girl clearly how to act, but guided her and let her gradually figure it out. In just half an hour, many difficulties that troubled Lin Yifei were solved one by one with Nie Wei's careful help.
When Lin Xiaoli brought out the dishes, she saw a particularly harmonious scene of two people teaching and learning on the sofa.
Sighing, Lin Xiaoli said, "What are you talking about? We're going to eat soon. Put aside everything. Xixi, come and help me serve the dishes. Nie Wei, go get the bowls and chopsticks."
"Mom, Nie Wei is telling me about the script." Lin Yifei replied dissatisfiedly. She was getting some inspiration under Nie Wei's guidance, but was interrupted by her mother.
Nie Wei, who was standing aside, stood up immediately after hearing Lin Xiaoli's words, and smiled at Lin Xiaoli and said, "We'll help right away."
After saying that, he didn't forget to pat Lin Yifei, who was still pouting, and whispered, "Let's study the script later, let's eat first."
After listening to Nie Wei's words, Lin Yifei nodded and obediently put away the script.
Lin Xiaoli's cooking skills are not bad, but they are not amazing. However, the home-cooked meals are eaten in this ordinary warm atmosphere. After the meal, Nie Wei didn't stay for long and got up and said goodbye directly.
Three days later, Nie Wei received a picture on CQ. It was a picture of calligraphy. It was the poem that Nie Wei had written to Lin Yifei. However, it had been decorated by Lin Yifei with an exquisite wooden frame and hung on the wall opposite her bed in the bedroom.
It can be imagined that the girl saw this calligraphy written by Nie Wei every day when she got up.
Nie Wei thought about it and finally replied with a smiley face.
Three days later, Zhang Jizhong personally called Nie Wei to inform him that the crew would gather on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
