This Spring Festival, Chen Ziyu stayed at Lao Tan's house.
She lives in the west wing of the courtyard, where An Nuan and Tan Xin occasionally stay.
Now that Chen Ziyu is coming, An Nuan specially cleaned the room before and replaced all the bedding with new ones for Chen Ziyu to live in.
Chen Ziyu packed things in the house and put some cosmetics she brought on the table. In the yard, Tan Yue distributed the gifts brought to everyone from the capital.
Little Tan Xin, who got a lace princess dress, was so happy that she wanted to wear it immediately.
Parents and sister-in-law An Nuan all had gifts.
Chen Ziyu was sitting on the bed, arranging her clothes. She could smell the residual sunlight on the bedding, and knew that the new bedding must have been taken out to dry in the sun.
Winter winter winter.
There was a knock on the door. Chen Ziyu raised his head, looked at the door, and said softly: "Please come in."
After Chen Ziyu finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Tan Yue walked in from the outside with a smile and said, "Are you tired?"
Chen Ziyu shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not tired. I have been resting and sleeping on the plane when I came here. I feel energetic now."
Tan Yue came to Chen Ziyu and said, "If you're not tired, would you like to make dumplings together?"
"Making dumplings?" Chen Ziyu asked.
Tan Yue nodded.
"Okay!" Chen Ziyu stood up from the bed with a smile.
Although she comes from a wealthy family, her family is engaged in the catering industry, so she can also cook some simple meals. She is naturally good at making dumplings, a traditional Chinese craft.
...
...
The next day, New Year's Eve.
My mother made the paste and wrote the Spring Festival couplets herself, and asked Tan Yue to post the Spring Festival couplets.
In previous years, the job of posting Spring Festival couplets was done by father and son Tan Zhao and Tan Yue, but this year Chen Ziyu thought it was quite interesting, so she followed Tan Yue to post Spring Festival couplets.
Tan Yue held the brush and posted it, and Chen Ziyu followed behind with the Spring Festival couplets.
"Auntie's handwriting is so beautiful." Chen Ziyu praised.
Tan Yue smiled and said: "She has been a teacher all her life. Although she does not teach Chinese, her handwriting has always been good. For many years, she has written all the Spring Festival couplets at home."
The two of them are usually very busy. As the helmsmen of a first-class entertainment company, they are busy with endless things every day. There is very little free time like today.
The two of them felt very calm, enjoying the comfort and tranquility of this moment.
After posting Spring Festival couplets, we started to get busy making New Year’s Eve dinner.
Chen Ziyu's cooking skills can only be said to be average. He can make some small dishes, but he can't do big jobs like this. So when making New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Ziyu can only help Li Yulan and An Nuan in the kitchen.
In previous years, Chen Ziyu would spend the Spring Festival at her home and prepare a table full of meals.
It's just that her parents are great people in the catering industry, and their cooking skills are comparable to those of chefs in five-star hotels. Chen Ziyu doesn't even have room to start.
In the evening, steaming dishes were brought into the main room from the kitchen, and the dining table was filled with dishes, including chicken, duck, and fish.
"Tzuyu, come on, eat some meat. You're a little thin, eat more." Li Yulan took a piece of meat to Chen Ziyu on the express train.
"Thank you, auntie." Chen Ziyu thanked her.
Li Yulan looked at Chen Ziyu sitting opposite her with a smile, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.
She had met Chen Ziyu before.
At that time, Chen Ziyu wanted to invite Tan Yue to join the Bright Entertainment Company, and finally came to Tan Yue's home and extended an invitation to Tan Yue. It was only after that time that Tan Yue went to the capital.
At that time, Chen Ziyu also said a few words to Li Yulan, but at that time, neither party could have imagined that they would have such an identity when they met again.
However, during the two meetings, Li Yulan had a good impression of Chen Ziyu.
Beautiful, dignified, generous and decent, the key is that Li Yulan looks very attractive, unlike Qi Xue, who felt at odds with her at first sight.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, An Nuan took Tan Xin away.
In previous years, An Nuan spent the Chinese New Year here with Tan Yue's family, living in the west wing. However, this year Chen Ziyu came, and An Nuan felt that it was inappropriate for her to stay any longer, so after dinner, she took Tan Yue with her. Xin left.
After seeing An Nuan off, Chen Ziyu talked to Li Yulan and Tan Zhaohe for a while, and then went back to the west wing to rest.
After all, it was the first time that Chen Ziyu came to Tan Yue's house as her future daughter-in-law. It was inevitable that Chen Ziyu would be a little uncomfortable. Of course, Tan Yue's parents were very good to her, and she was very happy these two days.
After Chen Ziyu left, Tan Yue watched the Spring Festival Gala with great interest in the room and chatted with his parents.
Snapped.
After being hit on the shoulder, Tan Yue turned to look at his mother, frowned and said, "Mom, why did you hit me?"
Li Yulan rolled her eyes and said, "Still watching the Spring Festival Gala here? Ziyu has gone back, why don't you go and stay with her and talk to her for a while."
Tan Yue said: "Okay, I'll go over after watching this sketch."
Li Yulan pushed Tan Yue and said, "What else are you watching? Ziyu came to our house alone. Don't make her feel lonely and uncomfortable. Come over quickly and watch the replay of the Spring Festival Gala tomorrow."
"Okay." Tan Yue nodded with a wry smile, but was kicked out by his mother.
...
...
The same place where the moon shines is Hangzhou, China.
At Yang Jinghong's house, they were also eating New Year's Eve dinner and watching the Spring Festival Gala.
However, the atmosphere in Yang Jinghong's house was not as cheerful and lively as that in Tan Yue's house. None of the four members of the family spoke, making the atmosphere a bit deserted and dull.
"Jinghong, come back and go to school hard. Your academic performance is not bad. Get into a better high school. Then I will hire a tutor to make up for your homework and go to a good university in the future." His mother said.
Yang Jinghong was silent and did not speak.
When she first entered the entertainment industry and became a child star, her parents arranged for her to go there. At that time, she was the pride of her parents.
But now, her fame is very little, and she is no longer the pride of her parents. Her parents now want her to study hard, follow the path of a normal person like a normal child.
But what his parents never thought was that Yang Jinghong has slowly fallen in love with the acting industry.
Seeing that Yang Jinghong didn't speak, his mother frowned, put down her kuaizi, looked at Yang Jinghong, and said, "Jinghong, did you hear what mother said?"
Yang Jinghong then raised his head and looked at his mother. His voice was a little dull and he said, "Mom, I want to try again. I don't want to just give up."
The father and brother next to him were eating their meals with their heads down.
In other families, the father is the head of the family, but in Yang Jinghong's family, it is the mother who has the final say.
Now that the mother has spoken, neither the father nor the younger brother dare to refute. The father is his mother's follower, and although the younger brother feels sorry for his sister, he is still young and does not dare to oppose the decision of his always strong mother.
The mother raised her eyebrows and glared: "You still want to give it a try? How many years have you been trying? You are not an actor. You have no chance of becoming famous. Why should you try?"
Yang Jinghong has been living alone outside these years, and is no longer as afraid of her mother as she was when she was a child. When she heard her mother's words, she couldn't help but retort, saying: "Zhang Zi was the same as me back then, and now Yang Shan is very popular. It’s also very popular now, and——”
Before Yang Jinghong could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by his mother.
With a sneer on her face, her mother glanced sideways at Yang Jinghong, "Then they are so popular now, why aren't you popular? You don't have the same conditions as others. The entertainment industry is about appearance. You are not as good-looking as anyone else. That's why reason!"
The disdain on her mother's face really stung Yang Jinghong. She was acting alone outside and had suffered a lot without crying. But now, she had tears in her eyes.
Yang Jinghong took a deep breath, looked at his mother, and said: "Mom, I know I'm not as good-looking as Zhang Zi and Yang Shan, but I will work hard, improve my acting skills, and seize opportunities. I am filming now. The play is a new play by Mr. Tan Yue, and he also plays one of the heroines in the play. I believe I will be able to get up this time."
When Yang Jinghong talked about Tan Yue, his mother had also heard of it.
After all, there are not many Chinese people who don't know Tan Yue. There are currently seven people on the list of top public figures, and the new person is Tan Yue.
And many people have seen Tan Yue's works. Even though he is a staff member behind the scenes, his popularity is very high.
The mother hummed and said, "Well, I'll give you one last chance. Didn't you say that you participated in Tan Yue's new drama this time? If after this drama is broadcast, you still have no improvement, Just come back and study hard and quit the entertainment industry."
My mother's words were firm and unquestionable.
"Okay." Yang Jinghong nodded, agreed, put down the Kuai Zi in his hand, and said, "I'm full. I'm going back to read the script."
After saying that, Yang Jinghong stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
After Yang Jinghong left, the father raised his head, looked at his daughter's back, sighed, and said to his wife: "Pay attention when you speak. Don't be too mean. This is our daughter."
"Am I being mean?" Her mother looked at her father with anger in her eyes and said, "Jinghong is still young and doesn't know that I am doing this for her own good. Don't you still know?"
The father lowered his head and said: "I know you are doing it for the best of the child, but the method should be more tactful. After all, it was in order to make money that we let the child become an actor. Without her, our house would be..."
boom!
My mother slapped her hand on the dining table and roared: "What are you talking about? What do you mean we are doing it to make money? Didn't you ask Jinghong at that time? She was also willing to go filming. I also thought she was talented as an actress. , who knew that she had only been popular for two years, and now that she can no longer pursue her career as an actress, I must ask her to come back and go to school as soon as possible?"
"Alas." Father sighed and said no more.
On the other side, Yang Jinghong, who returned to his room, sat in front of the window, looking up through the glass window at the bright white moon hanging high in the dark night.
Tears slowly slid down the corners of his eyes.
She is obviously only fourteen years old, and children her age are still in junior high school, but she is already burdened with some pressure.
This pressure made her helpless, hesitant, and melancholy.
…
…
During the Spring Festival, it is undoubtedly relaxing and comfortable for most Chinese people.
After a busy year, some of them are still working in other places. There is only such a period of time for family reunion like this.
In the suburbs of Jishui City, firecrackers were blasting.
Tan Yue's old house.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tan Yue got up early and lit firecrackers with his father.
"Xiao Yue, go call Ziyu and see if she is sleepy. If she is sleepy, let her sleep a little longer. We can wait for her. Making dumplings in the morning is a ritual. We do it every year. There is no need for the prefect to do this. You have to behave yourself, but I don’t know if the sound of firecrackers just now woke up Ziyu, so I said don’t let it go, you must let it go with your dad.”
Li Yulan called Tan Yue over who had just set off the firecrackers and asked him to quietly see if Chen Ziyu woke up.
Tan Yue smiled and came outside the west wing. Without knocking, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket. As soon as he unlocked it, he saw the message from Chen Ziyu.
"I got up."
This message was sent three minutes ago. I guess Chen Ziyu was really woken up by the sound of firecrackers.
Opening the address book and finding Chen Ziyu's phone number, Tan Yue dialed it directly.
After the phone rang twice, it was connected, and Chen Ziyu's voice came out, "Hello, Ayue."
"Are you up?" Tan Yue asked.
Chen Ziyu said: "Yeah, I'm already up and ready to go out."
Tan Yue said: "Okay, come out, I'm outside the door."
When Chen Ziyu walked out of the west wing, he smelled the smell of firecrackers and the residue of some firecrackers in the yard.
Li Yulan stood at the door of the kitchen, holding a rolling pin in her hand and wearing an apron. She looked at Chen Ziyu with a smile on her face and asked, "Tzuyu, are you awake? Did the firecrackers wake you up?"
Chen Ziyu shook her head quickly and said, "No, Auntie. I woke up just now and just stayed in bed for a while."
Li Yulan smiled and said, "Okay, Ziyu, go and wash up first. There is a new toothbrush and toothpaste in the bathroom. We will eat dumplings later."
Half an hour later, the hot dumplings were out of the pot. Li Yulan usually likes to eat dumplings on a plate, but during the Chinese New Year, she usually eats dumplings in a bowl, maybe because she feels it is more ritualistic.
After eating the dumplings, under Tan Yue's slightly narrow eyes, Chen Ziyu stood up, came to Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan, bowed to them, a little shy, with a smile on his face, and said: " Happy New Year, uncle and aunt, I wish you good health and all the best!"
What Chen Ziyu didn't expect was that after she wished them a happy New Year, Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan looked at each other and could see the excitement in each other's eyes. Then they each took out a red envelope from their pockets, and the red envelope was covered with The seal is visibly thick.
"Thank you Tzuyu."
"Thank you Tzuyu."
With that said, the two people put the prepared red envelopes into Chen Ziyu's hands.
Chen Ziyu repeatedly declined, but was defeated in front of Li Yulan.
Later, Li Yulan also told Tan Yue not to forget to pay New Year's greetings to Chen Ziyu's parents.
