Mu Ling’s New Life 21
Mu Ling has always felt that it is good for her to see the world more while she is alive. For example, after she lost her child, if she hadn’t gone to the village to relax, she might not have recovered so easily. She knew many backyard women in ancient times, some of them stayed at home all day long and didn’t have much contact with people in the end they would get angry because of trivial things…
Of course, she thought it was trivial things. Maybe it’s already a big deal in other people’s hearts… You know, a friend of hers when she was young, because her mother-in-law gave her a more important gift than before when her brother-in-law’s wife entered the door, she has been thinking about it all her life saying it no less than ten times in front of her.
Mu Ling once lived such a life, but now she doesn’t want to live such a life nor does she want her daughter to live such a life, so she decides to take Mu Qiu out for a walk. They are not going to travel, they will not go to various scenic spots, but they will take a good look at the world together – she is becoming more and more famous now, and it will be more difficult to go out in the future. In order to avoid being recognized by others, Mu Ling dyed her hair, then permed it, and paid great attention to makeup. The person who finally appeared in the mirror was completely different from her.
She took Mu Qiu to know the bus, met the traffic police, visited the museum, took her to play in the public playground in the park for a whole day, and took her to try various foods. It was when the time came that Mu Ling realized that as long as she was willing, she could do so much, and as she communicated more and more, Mu Qiu changed more and more.
“This is durian, does it taste weird?”
Mu Ling took Mu Qiu to buy a durian from the fruit shop, and opened the durian after getting into her car. Mu Qiu looked at the durian, her brows became tighter and tighter, and her eyes were watery.
“Qiu’er, look, that kid is yelling in the carriage, making the people next to him unhappy. Isn’t that very rude?”
Sitting in the subway, Mu Ling leaned into Mu Qiu’s ear and whispered. Mu Qiu nodded, Mu Ling kissed her hair again: “Mom’s Qiu’er is a good and polite child.”
” Qiu’er, are these paintings beautiful? There are also paintings by mother, can you find them?”
In the gallery, Mu Ling asked with a smile while holding Mu Qiu’s hand. Mu Qiu quickly found Mu Ling’s paintings then Mu Ling took her to buy children’s brushes and paints, and then accompanied her to paint. Said to go out for a walk, in fact, Mu Ling has been taking activities in her own city and a few small cities around her, even went home to sleep half of the time. Her company is not worthless. Mu Qiu knows more and more things as time goes by. At the same time, probably because she saw the different emotions of many people, she also began to have various emotions. Mu Ling was happy to see the success of all this, and was full of joy.
The next place Mu Ling took her daughter were to the an orphanage in the suburbs. Orphanages in big cities generally have good facilities, and they often get some donations. Volunteers also visit them from time to time. In the memory of the original owner when she was in elementary school, she donated some things to the children in the orphanage and went to see them under the guidance of the teacher. However, the orphanages in the suburbs are not so good. The small orphanage that Mu Ling took Mu Qiu to, the facilities are a bit outdated. Of course, the biggest problem here is not the facilities, but the manpower. Many children in the orphanage have defects and need to be taken care of, but there are only a few people in the orphanage who can take care of the children…
Ordinary families give birth to a healthy baby, and it often takes a whole family to take care of the child but for the orphanages…. woolen cloth? Every year they pick up a few children with congenital defects at the door but there are only a few staff… There, often a staff member has to take care of another child just after feeding another child, and is too busy. Fortunately, these children often don’t cry much because they are used to not being taken seriously, or because they know that crying is useless.
Mu Ling and Mu Qiu went to the orphanage and they saw was a baby girl who had just been thrown at the gate of the orphanage three months ago. It was a baby girl with a congenital malformation of the oral and maxillofacial region, commonly known as a cleft lip. It’s just that Mu Ling can’t describe this child with only a cleft lip, because usually a child with a cleft lip is just a cleft upper lip. A simple operation can cure them, and it won’t affect their eating if they are not cured. But this child is different. She has no upper lip, and even a small nose… Such a child cannot suck and swallow at all, and the operation is very troublesome. Mu Ling brought Mu Qiu here, originally hoping that Mu Qiu would see the world more, and then get in touch with children of the same age in the orphanage, but for some reason, Mu Qiu cared most about this baby girl.
“Ms. Ling, you’re here.” The director of the orphanage saw Mu Ling and immediately walked over with a smile.
Mu Ling didn’t want the media to know about her stay in the orphanage. After all, she was not doing charity or promoting herself, so she used a pseudonym, and the staff and children of the orphanage didn’t care much about the entertainment industry, and no one recognize her.
“Yeah, I’m here, is Xiao Doudou okay?” Mu Ling asked.
“Xiao Doudou is very good, and already can make a sound from her throat.”
The principal said happily, children with severe cleft lip are even more difficult to speak than ordinary people, they can’t make milky sounds like ordinary children, such as ” Engu”, the sound she made from her throat was actually a bit like crying or roaring. Mu Ling was carrying a lot of children’s milk. She put the milk aside and told the staff to distribute it to the children later, and then went into the house to see Xiao Doudou. Xiao Doudou is very well-behaved, she doesn’t cry or make trouble, she should be a little happy to see Mu Ling and Mu Qiu, but her lips make it impossible for her to smile, and in the end she just waved her hands.
“Mom, I want to hug her.” Mu Qiu said suddenly.
The child who was abandoned should have been born not long ago, and it is only three or four months old. It is very young, and Mu Qiu can still hug it, but Mu Ling dare not let Mu Qiu hug a child casually, and finally let Mu Qiu sit on the chair, and then gently put Xiao Doudou in her arms. Mu Qiu looked at Xiao Doudou for a long time, then suddenly said to Mu Ling, “Mom, Xiao Doudou is so pitiful.” As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
“It will be fine when she has the surgery.” Mu Ling stroked Mu Qiu’s hair. She has already contacted the hospital for Xiao Doudou. She will be responsible for Xiao Doudou’s several surgeries and even the later plastic surgery costs.
“En!” Mu Qiu showed a smile.
Apart from milk, Mu Ling and Mu Qiu also brought some other things, such as picture books, various snacks and even dishes such as frozen chicken legs packed in boxes. Of course, the food in the orphanage is not without meat. In fact, because the children are growing up, they will eat eggs or meat every day, but the amount is not large. Therefore, the children are very happy to eat chicken legs.
Mu Ling and Mu Qiu slowly fed Xiao Doudou with a spoon, and played with the other older babies for a while, and then someone came to tell them that it was time to eat. Mu Ling and Mu Qiu came here for lunch every time, so they went to the place to eat familiarly, and then went to get three stainless steel bowls like the children here who were about the same age as Mu Qiu. The children set up their own bowls and chopsticks in front of their own tables, and obediently waited for a few older children to distribute the meals. Today’s two dishes are steamed eggs with minced meat and boiled fungus with cabbage. The steamed eggs and minced meat in the steamed eggs with minced meat are actually separated, and the people who divide the dishes cooperate one after the other. The person in front uses a large round spoon to give the child a large spoonful of steamed eggs, and the person behind uses a small spoon to put the steamed eggs on top. Put a small spoonful of minced pork belly. It is much easier to cook fungus with cabbage. The person who divides the dishes will give each person a spoonful according to the appetite of each person. If it is not enough, you can add it later. Of course, today is a little different, because the crippled boy who divided the dishes gave everyone another chicken leg after sharing the minced meat. Most of the children in the orphanage are young, but their appetites are not small. When eating with them, Mu Ling feels that her appetite has improved a lot. Even boiled fungus with cabbage is delicious.
It’s just that she was only halfway through eating when she saw a person she didn’t want to see come in from outside.
“Manager Xue, the children eat here. These children are very well-behaved.” The director of the orphanage smiled and brought Xue Yilou in from the outside, and introduced Mu Ling’s mother and daughter to Xue Yilou: “This is Ling Ms. Ling and her daughter Mu Qiu. Ms. Ling, this is Manager Xue. Manager Xue has donated a lot of things to our orphanage during this period.”
Xue Yilou chose a very good time to come here, and it is obviously impossible for Mu Ling to continue eating, she suddenly left halfway through the meal, and now she could only nod to Xue Yilou: “Hello, Manager Xue.”
Mu Qiu has been taught by Mu Ling to be polite these days. At this time, she stopped eating, and then smiled at Xue Yilou: “Hello, Uncle.”
Mu Qiu is very beautiful, and when Xue Yilou looking at her, he couldn’t figure out why his daughter had mental problems, but he knew it was true. After all, if it wasn’t for this, it would be impossible for Mu Ling not to send her daughter to kindergarten, and to take painstaking care of her all the time. She goes everywhere to let her learn things.
“Little friend, you are good.” Xue Yilou sat down next to Mu Qiu, and now he understood that Mu Ling would never forgive him, so he finally chose to attack Mu Qiu. He has also met some other women this year, but now those who will come to him on a blind date are all women for the sake of his family background, so he has met more girls, not only does he not has feeling that he is not very lucky, but feels very tired, and then can’t help but think of Mu Ling. Xue Yilou wanted to talk to Mu Qiu, and Mu Ling also saw his plan, but she didn’t stop him. Her Mu Qiu is not one of those girls who are willing to go with others after being coaxed casually! People who are related by blood will have telepathy before, maybe it really existed between some people, but it definitely didn’t exist before Xue Yilou and Mu Qiu. Mu Qiu always answered Xue Yilou’s questions and gave a big smile, but she obviously didn’t take Xue Yilou seriously, because if someone talked to her, her attention would immediately shift to others. Xue Yilou was somewhat frustrated, but there was no doubt that he was helpless.
Mu Ling didn’t change the itinerary, so in the end Mu Qiu and Xue Yilou got along for a long time, but for Xue Yilou, there was no progress at all. Not long after that, Mu Ling was told by the director of the orphanage that the rich manager Xue was willing to bear Xiao Doudou’s medical expenses, and then asked her opinion. Mu Ling knew that the dean of the orphanage had good intentions. After all, she went to the orphanage many times, but she never deliberately showed an attitude ‘I am a rich person, I’m very rich and powerful’, and Xiao Doudou’s medical expenses are not a small amount.
“Then I have to trouble Manager Xue to spend the money.” Mu Ling said, she has no reason to be against the money, she has no reason to be against her own plan – under the circumstances that Xue Yilou often goes to the orphanage to guard. However, Mu Ling still did not give up taking Mu Qiu to the orphanage to see Xiao Doudou, but the timing was different from before. She completely ignored Xue Yilou, which made Xue Yilou become more and more uncomfortable every time he appeared in front of her…
Xue Yilou is different from before, Mu Ling discovered this, but the original owner dead, so none of this has anything to do with her. Not long after “Lore” was released from theaters, “Princess Zhen” was about to be released, and Mu Ling was busy again. She participated in a lot of publicity, then came the day when “Princess Zhen” was released. I don’t know if it’s because funny movies are more attractive, but the box office of this movie on the first day was even better than Director Liu’s “Lore”. Liang Jingnan is not an amazingly talented director, she can’t make movies that will shock people and become classics of the times, but she also has her own advantages – she knows what the audience likes to watch, and in movies, absolutely there will be no uncomfortable points. These uncomfortable points are a very general statement. The hero betrayed the heroine, the villain was finally caught and the protagonist let him go, etc., to many viewers, they will feel uncomfortable. Even the fact that a cute pet dies and the main character makes an off-color joke might be an uncomfortable point for some.
These things are not found in Liang Jingnan’s movies. For example, the heroine of this movie lives in a small fishing village. Although she is very hypocritical and can’t stand the life there, she will not be superior or take it for granted that others should serve her. When she ate something very unpalatable, although she didn’t want to eat it, she finished it in a very polite manner. Liang Jingnan’s movie may not impress people after watching it, but it will never make people feel uncomfortable. Even parents can take their children to watch it with confidence. Most people watch movies just for entertainment, and they don’t intend to see any profound meaning from them, so they naturally buy it, and when people ask about it after watching it, they will say ‘it’s pretty good.’ The box office of “Princess Zhen” has been rising all the way, and finally reached 1.6 billion! Mu Ling didn’t invest this time, not because she didn’t want to invest, but because there were too many people who wanted to invest and didn’t get the round. In order to give this movie more publicity and arrange more theaters, Liang Jingnan herself didn’t do much. Instead, she gave the investment opportunity to a big man in the industry.
With these people as investors, there is no need to worry about the movie’s theater arrangement! I have to say that Liang Jingnan’s approach is very correct, and the box office of the movie is the evidence. Mu Ling failed to become an investor, but Liang Jingnan still gave her a 3% share, which was a huge sum of money. At the same time, Mu Ling’s net worth rose even further. But this is not the end, because soon, she won a total of three awards for Best Supporting Actress in China and Hong Kong Island for “Lore”, and she also received several nominations for Best Actress for “Princess Zhen”. In the end, it was awarded by one of the awards that considered box office and audience popularity more. She can also be called a movie queen in China, although the award she received is not very authoritative.
For a while, Mu Ling became one of the hottest actresses in the industry. At this time, Mu Ling took on another movie. The director of this movie may not be as famous as Director Liu, but if it is his turn to win awards, he will definitely surpass Director Liu. He is especially loved by the judges of various awards. Not only that, the audience often likes his movies… The movie he plans to shoot this time is adapted from a novel. Many real experiences of the author are very real. The plot of this novel begins with a flood, which destroys people’s homes. A mother and son have to leave their homes and start living in a new city. Fortunately, they still have each other. It’s just that after they depended on each other and thought that their lives were getting better and better, and their son had achieved enough, their mother actually suffered from cancer… Mu Ling will play the mother in this movie this time. To be honest, Mu Ling actually didn’t understand why the director asked her to play as the mother. After all, she was a little too young, until she saw that she didn’t appeared in front of the camera very much, and she hadn’t released any works for several years that she didn’t recognize the man…..
And the Director was the same man who has been talking to them a lot in the corner of the park when she took Mu Qiu around.
