Chapter 161 Xia Xue, born with a smile

Summer completely ignored this wave of discussions within the film industry.

Milan's due date is approaching, and nothing is more important than giving birth right now!

Warning about having children~
……

Before Milan found out she was pregnant, Xia Tian had already started looking through dictionaries to name the child.

Because of Milan's "precognitive dream," Xia Tian felt it must be a girl.

So they came up with more than a dozen female names and were waiting to choose one.

However, as time goes by, the due date becomes more and more accurate.

Summer abandoned all these names; rather than racking her brains, she decided to let nature take its course.

Just like how a child born on the summer solstice was named Xia Tian (Summer), if this child was born on the day of the minor snow solar term, then why not name him Xia Xue (Summer Snow)?
On November 22, 1994, the day of Minor Snow in the solar term, Milan experienced abdominal pain and her water broke at 10:00 AM, and she was taken to the delivery room.

Now it was Xia Tian's turn to be anxious in the hallway!

Da Chun comforted Xia Tian, ​​saying, "It's alright, Tian'er, don't worry! Look at me, I didn't even realize it before the baby was born!"

Before Xia Tian could even punch him, Xiao Guo stepped forward and landed a punch: "You dare say that to yourself?!"

Deng Jie pulled Xia Tian to sit down, while Xiao Xu and Zhang Li held hands so tightly that their hands were bloodless.

Three months later, Xia's parents and Chun's parents, the two elderly couples, were busy outside the delivery room again.

At this point, Xia Tian was really panicked and even discussed with the doctor whether she could go in and stay by his side.

The doctor looked at him like he was a freak: What are you doing going in there?!

At this moment, Xia Tian truly understood that saying—cigarette butts in hospital stairwells have witnessed prayers more devout than those of the greatest bishop!
I want to pray right now!

He was at his wit's end, so he kept silently reciting the six-syllable mantra over and over again.

Fortunately, Milan didn't keep everyone waiting long—it took Guo an hour, but she only took ten minutes!

Summer had been listening intently to the sounds coming from the delivery room—and suddenly he heard a baby laughing!

This child was smiling when he was born!
A nurse quickly came out and said, "Congratulations, mother and daughter are safe!"

The corridor was filled with cheers. The nurse limited the number of people who could enter, and Xia Tian and her mother went into the delivery room.

In the summer, I saw my chubby little girl being bathed by a nurse, who was also testing her various abilities...

In the summer, Milan was covered in sweat on the delivery bed, but she still seemed to have some strength.

Before he could comfort Milan, she complained, "Everyone says that big hips mean you can have a son, but that's all a lie!"

The nurse next to me almost burst out laughing!
Summer quickly replied, "A daughter is like a warm, comforting jacket! A daughter is wonderful!"

However, Milan soon became smug and even showed off to Xiao Xu and Zhang Li.

Milan: "I'll set an example for you all, this is how you'll have children from now on!"

She experienced no discomfort during her pregnancy, had almost no morning sickness, had a good appetite, ate delicious food all day long, and didn't gain weight.

Although the baby moved quite a bit in the womb, Xia Tian later developed a "coping mechanism"—when the baby moved around a lot in her belly, she would sing "Little Swallow"!
"Little swallow, wearing a flowery dress, comes here every spring~"

Just keep singing, and the kid will be quiet in less than three lines.
She didn't suffer much during childbirth. Her cervix dilated so quickly that she didn't have time to get an epidural. She had a super-fast natural birth in 3 minutes, and the baby weighed exactly 7 pounds.

Milan: I gave birth in three minutes, who else can do that?!
—She almost gave birth before she could even be wheeled into the delivery room.

……

The days that followed were busy and joyous.

Summer thinks she could write a book called "Taking Care of a Postpartum Woman"!

To avoid disturbing Xiaoxu and Zhangli's rest, Xia Tian and Milan slept in the master bedroom.

Xiaoxue was placed in the crib next to the room and needed to be fed at least three times a night.

Every summer, she would get up on time, put the child in her mother's arms, and let Milan feed the baby while she was still half asleep.

Taking care of a child is quite difficult; just waking up several times a night is particularly exhausting.

You don't know the gratitude you owe your parents until you raise a child yourself!
Fortunately, Xiaoxue is easy to take care of, doesn't cry much, and loves to smile.
Putting her to sleep is super easy too; just sing "Little Swallow," and she'll fall asleep before you even finish three lines!
This is thanks to good prenatal education!
However, there is also a problem: there are too many Mi Zongnai!

That's incredibly productive!

Xia Xue: We can't finish it, we simply can't finish it! Xia Tian thought her eldest daughter, Xiao Xue, already had a big appetite, but now it seems that Milan could easily support two children!
Milan already had a great physique, and now all I can say is that he has a magnificent mind!

When facing Xiao Xu, Milan always gave a wicked smile, as if the advantage was mine.

Finally, in the summer, he thought, "Do you think we could produce a milking machine?"

Xia Tian drew the design based on the impressions of the pictures she had seen in her previous life.

Milan: "Why didn't you say so sooner! This could have helped so many mothers!!"

……

A little over a week after Xia Xue was born, Sister Yun and the other two came to Yanjing again and stayed there for about two weeks before returning home.

Every day I just look after the kids, chatting and laughing with them.

Sister Yun and Zhang Li don't plan to have children anymore. Wang Fei is still childlike, but A Ying seems quite envious...

Wang Fei has had a phenomenal year, releasing four albums and holding 18 concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum before coming here!

Originally planned for only 10 shows, the demand was so strong that tickets sold out so well that they had to perform for 18 consecutive days.

She's already a true diva!

December 10th is the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

Summer's films "Whiplash" and "Chungking Express" were nominated, but Summer definitely won't have time to go to the island.

Let Arong and Liu Xun go alone.

The award results were announced that evening:

Ah Wing won Best Actor for "Whiplash," and it turns out it was a tie!
The host, panting heavily, finished reading Ah Rong's name and then read "Summer, Chungking Express"!
Since Ah-Wing was the one accepting the award on his behalf, he ended up winning two Golden Horse Awards at once!
He also explained on Xia Tian's behalf: "Tian'erzi's family has some happy news, and he can't leave right away, so I'm accepting it on his behalf... Thank you..."

The Best Actress award went to Joan Chen for "Red Rose White Rose," the love triangle film that Kwan Kam-pang had previously asked Xia Tian to direct.

The Best Supporting Actor award went to Liu Xun for "Whiplash," and the Golden Horse Awards have to give the Venice Golden Lion some face!
"Whiplash" also won Best Screenplay, making it three awards in total. The island is still giving summer face.

They're really high-class there!
"Chungking Express" was nominated seven times and won only one award, which was for Best Actor in the summer. Wong Kar-wai was furious!
Among these seven nominations was Wang Fei for Best Actress, but unfortunately she didn't win.

However, a month ago, at the 7th Stockholm Film Festival, the Best Actress award was given to Wang Fei.

She's won an award for Best Actress!
There are other smaller international awards and a bunch of nominations.

Wang Fei: I'm satisfied~
……

On December 14, the Three Gorges Project commenced!
This remarkable project was completed in 08 and officially accepted in 20!
When I saw this news in the newspaper in the summer, I couldn't help but think of the teacher's poem: "Erecting a stone wall on the West River, cutting off the clouds and rain of Wushan, a placid lake emerges from the high gorge. The Goddess should be well, and will be astonished by the world's transformation."

On December 15th, "God of Gamblers 2" was released in Hong Kong. This film defeated Stephen Chow, who had been holding the box office champion title for a long time, and made Chow Yun-fat the box office champion once again!

After 32 days in theaters, it grossed over 5200 million yuan, making it the number one film of the year!

Its box office performance outside of mainland China is among the top for Chinese-language films, generally second only to "Drunken Master II" by Big Nose Dragon.

This was the last glimmer of hope for Big Mouth.
However, the film was banned because it contained too much negative content about us in an attempt to cater to the island's market.

The mention of "Thousand Gambling Lake" clearly alludes to the "Thousand Dao Lake Incident," as well as "Qi G Master" Zhang Baocheng, and so on...

However, this second part has one good point, which is that it incorporates the theme of anti-gambling - even the God of Gamblers suffered the tragic deaths of his wife, children and friends because of gambling!

Even the gambling addict had his hands chopped off and died a gruesome death! The villains will naturally suffer the same fate!
There is a truth to the saying that gambling never ends well; this is Wang Jing's realization after many years, having witnessed far too many such cases.

The real gambling god doesn't gamble; he owns a casino.
There's a scene in the movie where Xu Jinjiang disguises himself as a bronze statue to evade the villains' capture—no wonder he's an artist, he's incredibly artistic!

On December 17, the Magic Rock Three Heroes held a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

Zhang, the boss of Magic Rock, has a very advanced and ingenious way of hyping things up—he has figured out the truth that even black and red can be red!

For example, the "Four Heavenly Kings of Sharp Commentary" or something like that~
Actually, rock music isn't popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan these days. Even local bands like Beyond can't make a big splash at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

Despite Alan Tam's immense fame, his rock album released in Hong Kong didn't sell particularly well.

This is a matter of acceptance.

If it's really that popular, they'll definitely hold concerts, not just one. After all, it's not easy to go out and do something like that.

Dou Daxian later claimed it was a conspiracy, likely referring to Zhang's over-promotion and exaggeration of their performance. Most rock musicians are still proud and not very receptive to this.

12月19日，民安门广场前树立一个倒计时牌——距离1997年7月1日，对香江恢复行使主权倒计时925天！
The statement was signed on this day ten years ago!
Many people took photos in front of the countdown clock. Summer and her whole family went. Milan held Xiaoxue in her arms. It's been six years!
97, it'll be here soon!
