Entertainment: My house collapsed and I was forced to start making movies

Chapter 204 Coffee Shop

Although the shooting location this time was abroad, Tongguan's shooting speed was not very slow.

At least it's not slower than the shooting speed of "Young You".

After all, there is no so-called gourmet food abroad
Maybe it's Tong Guan's prejudice, but in his opinion, there is really nothing delicious abroad.

I only eat the same few things here and there, and I feel tired after eating them a few times.

And food happens to be a major enjoyment point for Tongguan's hard work.

Without being able to enjoy all kinds of delicious food, Tong Guan naturally felt that life here was not fun.

Coupled with Liu Yifei's pressure at night, Tongguan's filming was naturally faster.

At this time, he just wanted to end the filming as soon as possible, return to China, get rid of Liu Yifei, and give himself a vacation for the time being.

After more than twenty days of busy work, Tongguan finally had his first holiday.

Because, Liu Yifei’s relatives are here.
"Why are relatives here? I thought they wouldn't come this month."

Liu Yifei said with regret.

She thought that by working so hard, she could not see her relatives this month. After all, the absence of relatives meant that her efforts were bearing fruit.

But reality is not a novel, and hard work will lead to results.

Even though she almost sucked Tong Guan dry this month.
"This kind of thing still depends on luck, don't be too impatient."

Tong Guan comforted him.

This month has really been a test for him. He has truly experienced what it means for a woman to be ruthless and a man to stand aside.

"It's okay. If I continue to work hard next month, I don't believe I can't drive away my relatives!"

Liu Yifei said with a serious face.

Upon hearing this, Tong Guan's hands trembled subconsciously.

Although he didn't want to admit it, his body was indeed not as good as it was when he was in his twenties.

Especially when Liu Yifei is still working so hard.

Tong Guan only feels like he is going to the execution ground every day
Although the process was quite enjoyable, the feeling of powerlessness when he got up every morning made him suffer.

At this moment, a sentence suddenly flashed in his mind.

When we first got together, relatives were a stumbling block.

After being together for a long time, relatives become the savior of the world.

When Liu Yifei's relatives came yesterday, Tongguan felt that the world became clearer, as if everything was moving towards beauty.
"That's right, you don't have to work so hard. What's supposed to come will always come. If it doesn't come, there's no point in begging him."

Tong Guan tried to change Liu Yifei's mind, but Liu Yifei just turned her head and winked at Tong Guan: "Then you come with me to get the certificate. Once you get the certificate, I won't exploit you."

Tongguan:.
If it is true, as Liu Yifei said, that he will not be exploited after receiving the certificate, then Tong Guan can really consider it.

But the problem is, Liu Yifei doesn't know how.

At least in Tong Guan's view, Liu Yifei would not let him go just because he had obtained the certificate.

For some things, if there is a first time, there will be a second time.

Each time the request will be more excessive than the last time.

Now Liu Yifei says she wants children for marriage, but doesn’t she want both children and marriage?
After getting married, wouldn't she have to return to her current state and want a child to witness the love between them?

"talk later."

Tong Guan ignored this topic.

Liu Yifei curled her lips, but didn't say anything.

Because her idea was the same as Tong Guan guessed.

Whether it's getting married or having children, she wants it all.

"Then let's go out and have fun these days. You've been filming during this time and haven't played much with me."

"We'll talk about it after we finish filming. There are a lot of rules when it comes to filming abroad. The sooner we finish filming, the sooner we'll get over it. Besides, we've been playing together for a long time. Is there anything else fun around here?"

"It's different. You don't understand us girls' love for shopping. Even if we don't buy anything and just go shopping, we will feel very happy."

"Then you ask Chaoyue to go with you."

"Okay, then I'll take Chao Chao out to play tomorrow. I think she really wants to go out and play."

"Ah."

After dealing with Liu Yifei, Tong Guan also closed his eyes and rested.

He didn't sleep well during this period, and often saw half of Liu Yifei's face kneeling in the middle of the night.

Now that he could finally have a good rest, how could he not cherish it.

I thought I could take a good vacation during this period, so I could concentrate on shooting and recuperate my body.

As a result, Tongguan received a call from Liu Yifei not long after he turned on the phone the next day.

"Tongguan, I'll send you an address. Come here now, hurry up!"

"What's the matter, what happened?"

Tong Guan's first reaction was that Liu Yifei had encountered some trouble. After all, this was a place of freedom, beauty, and happiness every day.

If you are not careful, you may run into trouble that you cannot encounter at home.

However, Liu Yifei didn't explain much, and just said to Tong Guan: "Come quickly, you will know when you come."

Although Tong Guan was confused, considering that he was in a foreign country, Tong Guan still chose to rush to the address Liu Yifei sent him.

When he arrived at the place, Tong Guan immediately looked for Liu Yifei and Yang Chaoyue.

Soon, he saw Liu Yifei and Yang Chaoyue in front of a coffee shop.

I saw two people each holding a cup of coffee and looking at Tong Guan with a smile on their faces.

Tong Guan walked up to the two of them in a few steps and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why did you ask me to come over?"

Liu Yifei smiled mysteriously at Tong Guan, then took his hand and walked into the coffee shop.

"Follow me, you'll find out later."

Tong Guan was still confused, but he still followed Liu Yifei to the coffee shop.

Entering the store, Tong Guan looked at it subconsciously.

This is a typical Chinese cafe decoration.

And it's an old-fashioned one, so you can tell the difference from other cafes on the street at a glance.

Although there are not many people in the cafe, most of them are Chinese faces.

Tongguan could even hear many people communicating in Chinese.

"Is the owner of this store Chinese?"

Tong Guan asked.

With this decoration style and the customers in the store, it is easy to tell that this is a Chinese-owned cafe.

"Yes, the owner of this shop came to the beautiful country more than thirty years ago. He worked hard here for more than ten years and finally opened such a cafe. It has been more than ten years since it was opened. Because of the uniqueness of this shop, The proprietress is very beautiful, so this cafe is very famous in the Chinese circle here."

After hearing Liu Yifei's explanation, Tong Guan also nodded.

This situation is completely consistent with his guess.

Thirty years ago, in the late 70s and early 80s, there was a wave of domestic immigration.

Many Chinese people came to the beautiful country from China with the filter of the beautiful country.

The situation of the owner of this coffee shop is quite good. After working hard for more than ten years, he opened a coffee shop and he didn't have to worry about daily life.More often than not, I came to the beautiful country with filters and discovered that the discrimination against Chinese people here is not as serious as usual, and even ordinary jobs are squeezed.

There are many who eventually die from exhaustion.

If some people reluctantly give up, they will eventually become homeless or starve to death.

"So, sometimes don't be fooled by superficial phenomena. What you see is just what others want you to see. You can only know what real life is like when you go there yourself."

Tong Guan said with a sigh.

He remembered an old man.

"hey-hey."

Liu Yifei smiled, and instead of responding to Tong Guan's words, she pointed at a woman not far in front of Tong Guan.

"That's the owner of this store, his surname is Lin."

After hearing Liu Yifei's words, Tong Guan also looked at the owner of this store.

At this sight, Tong Guan was stunned.

The person opposite was unfamiliar because it was his first time meeting her.

But the person opposite also looked familiar.

Because that face is almost exactly the same as Tong Guan.

But the condition of the skin on her face showed that she was much older than Tongguan.

Suddenly, Tong Guan seemed to realize something. He looked at Liu Yifei and asked, "What did you say her name was just now?"

Tong Guan's reaction surprised Liu Yifei. She replied: "I don't know her name. I only know her surname is Lin. What's wrong? Do you know her?"

Hearing this, Tong Guan's face was complicated.

"It's acquaintance."

After saying that, regardless of the confusion on Liu Yifei's face, she walked directly in front of the landlady.

"hello"

Seeing someone, the landlady subconsciously said hello.

But the moment she saw Tong Guan's appearance, the landlady was also stunned.

"child"

Tong Guan took a deep breath: "It's me, Tong Guan."

"Ah???" The landlady covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock.

At this time, Liu Yifei also walked up to Tong Guan and asked doubtfully: "Tong Guan, do you know the boss lady? When I was shopping before, I saw that she looked almost exactly like you, so I asked you to come here."

Hearing Liu Yifei's words, Tong Guan said softly: "When I was very young, my mother abandoned me and came to the beautiful country to pursue my dreams with my father. I thought I would never see her again in this life."

At this time, the wife of the boss also recovered from the shock. She smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "I thought you would mock me first when we meet again, and then deny me as your mother."

"ridicule?"

Tong Guan looked at the landlady with confusion, his mother whom he had not seen for 30 years.

Seeing the confusion on Tong Guan's face, the landlady also smiled and said: "For you, today is the first time you have seen me as an adult, but for me, I can see that I have seen you for a long time, just through the TV screen. .”

Tong Guan was silent.

In fact, he had thought about this issue a long time ago.

If his mother came to live in the beautiful country, would she see him on TV?Can you recognize yourself?

"Do you regret it?"

Tong Guan said softly.

Although it was tacky, he still wanted to ask, did he regret his mother's abandonment of him and his father?
However, the proprietress just smiled slightly, and then pointed to her coffee shop: "Do you think I look like I regret it now?"

As she said that, she pointed to a dining table not far away: "Let's go sit over there and talk."

"Ah."

Tong Guan nodded, and then followed the landlady to the dining table and sat down.

Liu Yifei and Yang Chaoyue sat next to Tong Guan.

The landlady first asked the waiter to bring a cup of coffee to each of them.

After taking a sip, she looked at Tong Guan and said, "Are you curious why I abandoned you and your father in the first place, but then I didn't take the initiative to look for you after I recognized you?"

"Ah."

Tong Guan nodded.

Upon seeing this, the landlady's eyes flashed with memories, and then she slowly said:
"Actually, I didn't want to abandon you and your dad at the beginning. He and I didn't have any emotional disputes at first. On the contrary, I loved him very much and he loved me very much. In terms of our relationship as a couple, we are both models that are envied by the neighbors. Couple.

However, life is not only about love, but also about money, rice, oil and salt.

Not long after I got married, I tried to start a business several times, but your father blocked me every time. He thought that me being exposed as a woman was an embarrassment to him and that I was telling people around me that he couldn't support us, mother and son.

We argued several times about this.

In addition, the business world at that time was a mess. As a woman, and such a beautiful woman, in the business world, I was like a piece of meat that fell into a wolf's den. At that time, everyone wanted to give your father a crown. Cuckold.

As time passed, more and more rumors spread around.

I tried to give up the business and take good care of you and my family with your father.

But during that time, your father happened to be caught up in the layoff crisis, and he was in a very bad mood. Coupled with the rumors circulating around him, the conflict between the two of us finally broke out.

That night, your father beat me directly, and I ran away from home in a rage.

My original idea was to go to other cities to do business and come back when I had some success.

But when I went to other cities, I discovered that the domestic business scene was the same at that time.

If I want to get in touch with businessmen who are a little bit capable, I have to sleep with them first.

Xiaoguan, your temper is almost exactly the same as mine. Can you accept it? "

Tong Guan shook his head.

If he could accept it, the Oscar incident wouldn't have happened in the first place.

Seeing Tong Guan's reaction, the proprietress also smiled: "Yes, if you could accept it, you wouldn't have come here to compete for the Oscars."

Hearing this, Tong Guan bit his lip slightly.

It seemed that his mother knew much more about him than he thought.

"So you came here later?"

The landlady shook her head: "No, in fact, I gave up at first and planned to go home. But when I arrived at the door, I discovered that your father had already moved with you, and people around me even said that I had gone abroad. Went on business.

At that time, I thought, since it doesn’t work at home, why not try abroad.

In this way, I got my visa and came here alone.

Language barriers, racial discrimination, and other problems made me realize that it is no easier to live here than at home.

But at that time, I had no money to return to China, so I could only bite the bullet and live here.

Who knows, it will be 30 years later. "

After listening to the boss lady's story, Tong Guan couldn't help but ask: "But what happened next? Didn't you ever think about returning to China?"

The landlady smiled helplessly: "Go back to China? Why are you going back to China? Your grandparents passed away many years ago. I have no news about you and your father. I don't know where you and your father are. Why should I go back to China? What's more? , I have been living here as a woman for many years, and with your father’s original character, who knows what he would have guessed about me.”

Hearing this, Tong Guan also fell into silence.
