My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1216 Obtaining Nine

For Zhang Yi, being alone is a kind of torture.

But for a certain singer, life seems to be a monochromatic affair devoid of any other vibrant colors.

Many places in China have experienced several heavy snowfalls, including the city she left.

However, the seasons in Bruce Town, like the rhythm of life, are very slow, and the snow-covered landscape is still quite a distance away, while other places are already experiencing heavy snowfall.

The town of Bruce has been in a festive atmosphere for the past few days.

Because of Christmas.

Christmas abroad is just like the Chinese people's fondness for the Spring Festival. Even Liu Fei was infected by this atmosphere. With the idea of ​​"when in Rome, do as the Romans do," she also put a shelf at the entrance of the yard and put all kinds of candies in it.

There are people who lack manners everywhere.

It's here too.

Some adults, upon seeing this, would immediately turn back and walk away, but Liu Fei never generalizes the behavior of a very small minority to all people.

And it was nothing more than some candy. During this time, Liu Fei also noticed that many well-behaved children would take a few candies from the shelf at the entrance of her yard.

After some time had passed.

They even came running over with a candy basket and filled the candy plate she had placed on the shelf.

This small gesture made Liu Fei very happy.

Before she got pregnant, she didn't think of herself as a woman who liked children that much. This was probably due to her upbringing. She even agreed with the idea that "not having children is also a kind of kindness" when she saw many young people online. But her thoughts changed after she got pregnant.

Suddenly I realize that having children is quite nice.

The morning air was cool, but the slightly chilly winter weather did not diminish the importance that people abroad placed on Christmas. After breakfast, Liu Fei took her usual walk around outside.

A few days ago, the surrounding residents tied flashing lights to the trees in their yards, and at night, the area felt like stepping into a fairy tale.

However, Liu Fei still prefers the fireworks that light up the city skies during the Spring Festival in China. During those days, the entire city's sky seems to be set ablaze with fireworks, a breathtaking sight.

Even the sulfurous smell emitted after the fireworks lit up the sky smelled good to her; it was a familiar scent.

Every year during those few days, she would lean on the balcony window of her apartment complex, watching the fireworks of various colors in front of her, year after year.

After traveling for a while, Liu Fei returned home. Just like during the Spring Festival in China, many families abroad also buy a lot of food before Christmas to prepare for entertaining guests.

Liu Fei didn't have any. It was just her and her nanny at home, so buying a little bit was enough for them. Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Fei, wearing a down jacket and a hat with pom-poms, arrived at the town's movie theater.

Yesterday, she saw that the movie posters outside the cinema were for "The Truman Show". Liu Fei had heard her agent, Li Xiaohong, mention this movie. It was written by Zhang You and was released during the National Day holiday in China. It grossed 3.7 billion yuan by the time it was taken off the screens.

Even Liu Fei was surprised when she heard the number.

She knew the state of the domestic film industry; it had been getting colder year by year, with countless big-budget productions flopping. Many entertainment companies were even insolvent due to the impact of their film investments. She never expected that his script would achieve such great success.

Besides "The Truman Show," his other film, "Goodbye Mr. Loser," which he wrote and co-invested in, also had a high box office. In other countries, "The Truman Show" has also been promoted in installments recently.

However, it seems that Zhang You was sold to a foreign film company. Liu Fei didn't ask about the specifics, because... she had no reason to ask. After buying the tickets, Liu Fei entered the theater.

She was quite curious about what the movie was about, since it seemed to be highly praised in China, being called one of the most worthwhile movies to watch in recent years.

My gaze swept across the theater; the occupancy rate wasn't high, probably less than 20%. And that was already considered good, considering that only a very small number of Chinese films sell well overseas; the vast majority don't even get a chance to be shown, let alone sell. The movie began.

Liu Fei began to read it carefully.

Three hours later, she walked out of the movie theater.

It is indeed a very good work, and the film structure is also more Western. I didn't expect that someone who is so good at songwriting could also write such a good screenplay.

Apart from that, singer Liu Fei didn't have many other feelings.

"Aunt Liu"

suddenly.

A child's voice reached her ears. Liu Fei turned her head and smiled. Seeing her waving at her, the boy with his younger sister ran over laughing.

These are the children of a blended family next door to Liu Fei's family. Compared to the high divorce rate in China, it is even more outrageous abroad. However, unlike blended families in China who often have conflicts because each family has children, blended families abroad rarely quarrel over children.

This is easily explained; it's not a difference in culture, but rather a matter of income.

Labor costs are very high abroad, and under normal circumstances, a father's income is enough to support a family.

When there are no major economic difficulties, there will naturally be fewer conflicts.

The parents don't argue about money, so the children don't have to consider each other's sides. The relationship... well, not all of it, but most of it is quite good. Once they got a little closer, the boy named Tony smiled and said, "My dad says you're a big star, a really famous one, Aunt Liu. Are you as famous as Fruit Girl? I love her 'Chilly Cha Cha,' especially when she's wearing a miniskirt."

"Tony, you're a bit precocious."

Liu Fei said with a smile.

"Aunt Liu, can you sing English songs? Your English sounds just as good as mine and Tony's!"

Midi, who was being pulled along by her brother, asked curiously.

"I wouldn't."

Liu Fei looked at the brother and sister and shook her head with a smile.

Thinking that soon her family would also have a pair of such siblings... or perhaps a brother and sister, Liu Fei's smile grew even brighter.

As they approached their house, Tony and Midi were called away by other children who had run over. Many places here are similar to rural areas in China, just like now, with a group of children running around everywhere during the Christmas season, without any worries. The children play from house to house.

They will all go their separate ways when the time comes.

This is how life should be.

This is what childhood should be like.

If birds are kept in cages for too long, they will forget that they are capable of flying.

After returning home, singer Liu Fei sent Zhang You a message.

"Your 'The Truman Show' has been shown overseas. I've read it, and it's very well written."
