Chapter 1165 I'll Carry You (22 Additional Chapters for Silver Alliance Cslaw)

Bai Jianping finally finished talking to the director. He packed up his things and got on the subway, thinking about the conversation he had just had with the director.

It turned out that the studio wanted to transfer him to another crew, which was the crew of "Black Blood" that is now being discussed a lot.

This crew is not filming at the studio's film and television base, but at Pujiang Film and Television City, where the environment and facilities are more complete and can meet the needs of filming.

The original person in charge of food in the crew was fired because someone had diarrhea after eating today, including staff and actors, which delayed the filming progress. The director, producer, and stage manager were furious, and someone took the blame, so they packed up and left.

Then someone recommended him.

Bai Jianping felt that it was useless whether he agreed or not. Since the factory had told him, it meant that they hoped he would go. His personality was not as strong as Malanhua, and he was used to obeying. Since the factory wanted him to go, he would go. However, after this happened, he suddenly felt that the pressure on his shoulders was much greater.

If there is a problem with the crew's food, it must not only be the person in charge's problem, but there must be something wrong in some link, and he must find out the crux of the problem as soon as possible.

His hand touched his pocket, and there was a big red envelope in his pocket, which the director had just given him, saying that he was grateful for his hard work in the past few months.

He hadn't seen how much money it was, but it felt quite a lot, a thick stack in his hand.

As soon as he got out of the subway, his phone rang, it was Xiaobai's.

Xiaobai asked him on the phone when he would be home, and Bai Jianping said he would be home in ten minutes.

They were going to have a banquet for the fellow villagers of Baijia Village on the construction site tonight, and they originally planned to cook at home, which was how they had arranged it before.

But this time Zhang Tan suggested going to a restaurant outside, saying that it would save some trouble for Malanhua, knowing how troublesome and hard it was to prepare a banquet.

Bai Jianping thought about it and it was true. Their lives have improved a lot now, and they no longer need to be frugal like before, and spend one dollar as two dollars.

The restaurant for the banquet is in Huangjia Village, not a high-end place, very down-to-earth.

Zhang Tan could certainly have invited a better place, but there was no need for that. Instead, it made the villagers of Baijia Village feel awkward and uncomfortable.

Bai Jianping did not go home, but came directly to the restaurant. Malanhua was waiting for someone at the door. Seeing him appear, she waved and called him over.

"Old Bai~ here!"

Xiaobai at Malanhua's feet was also waving at him, calling him over.

"Old...uncle, come quickly."

Bai Jianping glanced at the little boy. The little boy wore a beautiful little dress today, and a red cartoon hairpin was pinned on his watermelon head. He looked like a rich lady.

"Are you standing at the door waiting for me?" Bai Jianping was a little happy that his wife and niece cared so much about him. "Go back, go back, are you all here?"

Malanhua asked him to go up by himself, saying that they were waiting for the villagers of Baijia Village here.

"Hurry up, hurry up~ I'm upstairs." Xiaobai waved Bai Jianping to leave quickly, not looking like he cared about him at all.

Zhang Tan was urging people to serve the dishes upstairs, while Malanhua and Xiaobai were waiting downstairs. Not long after Bai Jianping went upstairs, a group of people from Baijia Village came to the alley. They were all working at a nearby construction site and came together.

"Aunt, you're here~~"

Xiaobai was sharp-eyed, and Malanhua saw him too, waving and saying this way.

There were more than a dozen people in the group, and it was very noisy. When they saw Xiaobai at Malanhua's feet, they almost didn't recognize him. They hadn't seen Xiaobai for a while, and Xiaobai had grown up a lot, and his temperament was very different from the idiot who used to run around in the mountains and fields.

"Old Dunzi, did you call Dunzi?" Xiaobai asked, looking at a dark-skinned, burly man. This was Dunzi's father, and the father and son looked very similar.

"I got beaten when I first came here. When are you going back, Xiaobai?"

"I still have to go to school. My husband said I'll go back for the New Year~"

Malanhua led everyone upstairs. Bai Jianping and Zhang Tan were waiting at the entrance of the corridor. When they entered the private room, half of the dishes had been served and the wine was brought. They were all 30-year-old Daxiong wines, which Zhang Tan brought specially.

Usually, Bai Jianping and these fellow villagers were very casual and shouted loudly when they ate and drank, but today Malanhua and Xiaobai were there, especially Zhang Tan, so these people restrained themselves a lot and were polite.

Xiaobai held a small flower bowl and a pair of chopsticks, wandering around the table, looking at this dish and that dish, and when he saw a gap, he leaned his little body to reach for the chopsticks to pick up the dishes, playing guerrilla warfare.

"Xiaobai, come here." Zhang Tan called her over and asked her what she was doing.

"Eat Mangmang." Xiaobai said, picking up a cooked roasted chicken chestnut from his small flower bowl and giving it to Zhang Tan to eat.

Zhang Tan lowered his head and ate the food, saying, "Just sit here and don't walk around with your bowl."

Xiao Bai looked around and looked at everyone sitting there, and asked in a low voice, "Is there not enough room to sit?"

"No, this is the chair prepared for you, sit up."

Zhang Tan said nothing and carried Xiao Bai to his seat. Everyone at the table said, "Xiao Bai, what do you want to eat? I'll turn it over for you."

Xiao Bai's eyes rolled around, she glanced at her old man, her feet dangling under the table, she was very happy.

In the past, such gatherings were always held at home. The space and dining chairs at home were limited, people sat next to each other, it was very crowded, and there was no place for children, so Xiao Bai could only carry the rice bowl and walk around, and when she saw a gap, she would quickly pick up the food and put it in the bowl.

She was used to it, so when the banquet started, she consciously walked around with her bowl, forgetting that she was the old man's child.

After Zhang Tan finished eating quickly, he toasted everyone with a few glasses of wine, and then took Xiaobai off the table first, went to the small compartment next to him to make tea and show Xiaobai the cartoons on the tablet.

Even if he behaved more casually, the villagers of Baijia Village were still reserved, so he had to leave the table first.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere at the table became much warmer.

Zhang Tan sat for a while, then left with Xiaobai first.

Night had fallen, the moon rose, and the faint silver light was splashed. The autumn sky was particularly refreshing, the night sky was clean, and the moon and stars were particularly bright.

Walking in the alley on the way home, the street lights were on, and many of the small shops along the street and the people sitting on the roadside knew Zhang Tan, and greeted him and Xiaobai at the same time.

Xiaobai jumped and responded enthusiastically. When she reached a place with few people, she asked curiously why these people knew her.

Zhang Tan held her hand and said, "These people are your uncles, aunts, grandmas, and grandpas~"

"Huh?! How come I have so many more relatives?"

"They are all my father's elders, so of course they are also your elders."

"...Oh~"

Holding the old man's hand, Xiaobai jumped and chattered, asking questions, feeling very happy.

Zhang Tan glanced at her and said, "Oh, it's so dark here, there are so many pits on the ground, will the children fall down when walking here? Xiaobai, let me carry you."

Xiaobai was stunned and said, "This, this is not good?"

"You see it's still very dirty here, your little white shoes will get dirty, this is not good, I must carry you through this section of the road."

Then he squatted down without saying anything, patted her back, and asked Xiaobai to come up. He only felt silence behind him for a while, and then a small body climbed up, with a pair of small hands around his neck...
