The Spring Festival holiday is also the longest holiday of the year.
Su Yu also took this time to rest well.
However, Gu Qianqian only stayed until the third day of the new year before returning to the film crew.
The crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" consisted of newcomers and seasoned veterans. The newcomers, naturally, cherished this precious opportunity.
The greatest virtue of the seasoned veterans was professionalism. They were entirely focused on filming, and this drama was an opportunity for them as well.
Jiangnan's reputation had already spread, and the next step was to accumulate experience. Many of them were actors who had collaborated before and could sense that Jiangnan was building his own established team, so they worked diligently without complaint.
They even wanted to stay and film during the New Year, but Gu Qianqian felt that no matter how busy one was, they should go home for a few days during the Spring Festival.
Thanks to Su Yu's guidance, Zhang Yang had a very thorough understanding of the character Ning Caichen. Even in his daily life, the frivolousness he usually exuded was absent, making him appear somewhat scholarly at first glance.
"Before this drama starring Brother Yang is released, he will likely become a role model for all men."
Zhang Yang said this with great confidence because he had already admired himself after reading the script.
Ning Caichen was truly remarkable.
He had even slept with a female ghost.
Moreover, although this drama was a horror film, it incorporated many comedic elements, and even the fight scenes had humorous moments.
Therefore, even audiences who were afraid of horror films could accept it.
...
A rare moment of leisure.
Since everyone lived very close by, visiting each other only took a few steps.
Lin Yanyu went to play cards with relatives.
Su Yu, however, disliked such activities, so the task of teaching Su Xiaoling her homework fell upon him.
"Brother Xiaoyu, you're a huge star now. My classmates all like you, and because I'm your sister, the girls in my class share their snacks with me now." Since Su Yu returned, Su Xiaoling had been clinging to him, wanting to be carried, and even needing him to sit beside her to do her homework.
Su Yu did not feel impatient with his clingy sister. He pinched Su Xiaoling's cheek and said with a smile, "You mustn't bully other classmates anymore."
Previously, this little rascal Su Xiaoling had beaten up a boy in the second grade to defend him, and their second aunt had sternly disciplined her.
"I didn't bully them," Su Xiaoling said, biting on her pen.
"That's good. Let me see your homework, and I'll teach you anything you don't understand," Su Yu said with satisfaction.
Hearing this, Su Xiaoling rummaged through her schoolbag, pulled out her winter break homework, and handed it to Su Yu with a smile.
After taking it, Su Yu recalled what their second aunt had said earlier.
"Xiao Ling is very smart, but her thinking is too jumpy, so don't be too strict when tutoring her homework."
As their second aunt said this, there was a look in her eyes that Su Yu couldn't decipher.
However, Su Yu didn't pay much attention to it.
Elementary school homework, as a university student, he should be able to teach it, right?
Full of confidence, he opened her math homework.
"Mom bought a pencil case for Xiaohua, costing six yuan and fifty jiao. She only had a ten-yuan bill on her. How should she pay? Please write out the payment method."
Su Xiaoling's answer stunned him.
Answer: WeChat Pay.
"Why is that the answer?" Su Yu asked.
"Because she didn't have change," Su Xiaoling said earnestly, her large eyes blinking.
"Can't she give the ten-yuan bill to the shopkeeper and have them give her change?" Su Yu's mouth twitched.
"That's too troublesome. Isn't scanning WeChat faster?" Su Xiaoling said weakly.
"It… makes sense," Su Yu nodded stiffly.
Then, he looked at the next question.
"Xiao Ming had 87 marshmallows and 56 lollipops in his pocket. Today, Xiao Ming ate 35 marshmallows and 42 lollipops. What does Xiao Ming have?"
Su Yu frowned when he saw this question, as it was quite difficult for Su Xiaoling's age.
When he looked at Su Xiaoling's answer, he was utterly amazed!
Answer: "Diabetes"
He was stunned for a full ten seconds before looking at Su Xiaoling beside him.
Su Yu finally understood what their second aunt's look meant.
"Come, Xiao Ling'er, I'll teach you how to do these problems."
...
When Su Yu finally finished explaining her problems, he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Tutoring elementary school students' homework requires blood pressure medication at all times.
"Brother Xiaoyu, Xiao Ling'er also wants to be a singer," Su Xiaoling said, putting away her homework and looking at Su Yu with her big, watery eyes.
"You need to focus on your studies right now," Su Yu said, stroking her head.
It seemed that no matter how angry he was, as long as Su Xiaoling looked at him with those eyes, his anger would instantly disappear. She was simply too adorable!
"I will focus on my studies, but I also like singing. Can Brother Xiaoyu teach me to sing?" Su Xiaoling continued to say in a crisp voice.
"Then sing a song you're good at first, and I'll see your skills." Su Yu couldn't bear to refuse; having a hobby was a good thing, as long as she could prioritize.
"I am brave, I am brave…"
Su Yu originally thought she would sing some children's songs, but unexpectedly, Su Xiaoling started singing "The Brave."
He was immediately bewildered.
He had heard that "The Brave" was very popular among elementary schoolers, but he didn't expect Su Xiaoling to know it as well.
However, he didn't interrupt and quietly waited for her to finish.
"I love you walking alone in the dark alleys…"
Admittedly, Su Xiaoling's pitch was not bad, and coupled with her sweet and soft voice, the song sounded quite pleasant.
After she finished singing, Su Yu applauded very generously.
"Brother Xiaoyu, what do you think if I sing this song at the school singing competition?" Su Xiaoling asked, hugging Su Yu's arm, a little shyly.
Although she was bold, she still blushed when singing.
"It's okay… but this song isn't very suitable for girls your age. How about this, I'll give you a song, and you can sing it at the school singing competition then, okay?" Su Yu didn't know why elementary schoolers liked "The Brave" so much, but he felt that elementary school children should be more innocent.
"What song?"
"Let's Row the Boat Together."
After saying this, Su Yu began to teach Su Xiaoling how to sing.
