Chapter 682 Spring Festival

This Spring Festival, Chen Ziyu settled down in the old Tan family.

She lived in the west wing of the courtyard, where An Nuan and Tan Xin occasionally lived.

Now that Chen Ziyu was coming, An Nuan specially cleaned the room and replaced all the bedding with new ones for Chen Ziyu to live in.

Chen Ziyu was packing up in the room and put some cosmetics she brought on the table. In the courtyard, Tan Yue distributed the gifts he brought from Beijing to everyone.

Little Tan Xin, who got a lace princess dress, shouted that she wanted to wear it immediately and was very happy.

Both parents and sister-in-law An Nuan had gifts.

Chen Ziyu sat on the bed and sorted her clothes. She could smell the smell of residual sunlight on the bedding, and knew that the new bedding should have been taken out to dry.

Dong Dong Dong

There was a knock on the door. Chen Ziyu looked up and said softly, "Come in."

After Chen Ziyu finished speaking, the door was pushed open. Tan Yue walked in from outside with a smile and said, "Are you tired?"

Chen Ziyu shook her head and smiled, "No, I was resting and sleeping on the plane when I came here. Now I am energetic."

Tan Yue came to Chen Ziyu and said, "If you are not tired, do you want to make dumplings together?"

"Making dumplings?" Chen Ziyu asked.

Tan Yue nodded.

"Okay!" Chen Ziyu smiled and stood up from the bed.

Although she was born in a wealthy family, her family was in the catering industry. She could also cook some simple meals. Naturally, she was also good at making dumplings, a traditional Chinese craft.

The next day was New Year's Eve.

My mother made the paste and wrote the Spring Festival couplets by herself, and asked Tan Yue to post the Spring Festival couplets.

In previous years, the work of pasting Spring Festival couplets was done by Tan Zhao and Tan Yue, but this year Chen Ziyu found it interesting and followed Tan Yue to paste Spring Festival couplets.

Tan Yue held the brush to paste, and Chen Ziyu followed behind with the Spring Festival couplets.

"Auntie's handwriting is really beautiful." Chen Ziyu praised.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "She has been a teacher all her life. Although she doesn't teach Chinese, her handwriting has always been good. For many years, the Spring Festival couplets at home have been written by her."

The two are usually very busy. As the helmsman of a first-class entertainment company, there are endless things to do every day. It is rare to have such free time like today.

The hearts of the two are also very calm, and they both enjoy the comfort and tranquility of this moment.

After pasting the Spring Festival couplets, they started to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

Chen Ziyu's cooking skills can only be said to be average. She can make some small dishes, but she can't do such a big job, so when preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Ziyu can only help Li Yulan and An Nuan in the kitchen.

In previous years, when Chen Ziyu celebrated the Spring Festival at home, she would also cook a full table of food.

But her parents were great people in the catering industry, and their cooking skills were comparable to those of chefs in five-star hotels, so Chen Ziyu didn't even have room to help.

In the evening, steaming dishes were brought into the main room from the kitchen, and the dining table was full of dishes, including chicken, duck, fish and meat.

"Ziyu, come, eat some meat, you are a little thin, eat more." Li Yulan used a public chopstick to pick up a piece of meat for Chen Ziyu.

"Thank you, Auntie." Chen Ziyu thanked.

Li Yulan looked at Chen Ziyu sitting opposite her with a smile, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she was.

She had met Chen Ziyu before.

At that time, Chen Ziyu wanted to invite Tan Yue to join the Brilliant Entertainment Company, and finally came to Tan Yue's house and invited Tan Yue. It was after that time that Tan Yue went to Beijing.

At that time, Chen Ziyu also said a few words to Li Yulan, but at that time, neither of them could have imagined that they would meet again in such an identity.

However, Li Yulan had a good impression of Chen Ziyu in both meetings.

Beautiful, dignified, generous, and decent, the key is that Li Yulan looks very attractive, unlike Qi Xue, who felt that she was not compatible with her at first sight.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, An Nuan took Tan Xin away.

In previous years, An Nuan spent the New Year here with Tan Yue's family and lived in the west wing, but this year Chen Ziyu came, and An Nuan felt that it was a bit inappropriate for her to stay, so after dinner, she left with Tan Xin.

After seeing An Nuan off, Chen Ziyu talked with 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 to come to Tan Yue's house as a future daughter-in-law, so Chen Ziyu would inevitably feel 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 relish in the house and chatted with his parents.

Snap.

After being hit on the shoulder, Tan Yue turned to look at his mother and frowned, "Mom, why did you hit me?"

Li Yulan rolled her eyes and said, "Are you still watching the Spring Festival Gala here? Ziyu has gone home, why don't you go and accompany her and talk to her for a while."

Tan Yue said, "Okay, I'll go after watching this skit."

Li Yulan pushed Tan Yue and said, "What are you still watching? Ziyu came to our house alone, don't let her feel lonely and uncomfortable, go quickly, and watch the Spring Festival Gala replay tomorrow."

"Okay." Tan Yue nodded with a wry smile and was kicked out by his mother.

The same place where the moon shines, China, Hangzhou.

At Yang Jinghong's home, they were also eating New Year's Eve dinner and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

But the atmosphere in Yang Jinghong's home was not as happy and warm as Tan Yue's. The four members of the family didn't talk, and the atmosphere seemed a little cold and dull.

"Jinghong, come back and study hard. You have good grades. You can get into a good high school. Then I will hire a tutor for you to help you make up for your studies and go to a good university in the future." said the mother.

Yang Jinghong was silent and did not speak.

At the beginning, she entered the entertainment industry and became a child star. It was arranged by her parents. 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 and walk the normal path like a normal child.

But what her parents did not think of is that Yang Jinghong has slowly fallen in love with the industry of actors.

Seeing that Yang Jinghong did not speak, the mother frowned, put down her chopsticks, looked at Yang Jinghong, and said: "Jinghong, did you hear what your mother said?"

Yang Jinghong looked up and looked at her mother. His voice was a little dull, and he said: "Mom, I want to try again. I don't want to give up like this."

The father and brother next to him were eating with their heads down.

In other people's families, the father is the head of the family, but in Yang Jinghong's family, the mother is the one who has the final say.

Now that the mother has spoken, the father and the younger brother dare not refute. The father is always the mother's follower, and although the younger brother feels sorry for his sister, he is still young and dare not oppose the decision of the always strong mother.

The mother raised her eyebrows and glared at him: "Do you still want to try? How many years have you tried? You are not the material to be an actor, you are not destined to be famous, what are you trying for?"

Yang Jinghong has been working alone outside these years, and she is no longer as afraid of her mother as she was when she was a child. Hearing her mother's words, she couldn't help but refute, saying: "The same as me at the beginning, Zhang Zi is very popular now, Yang Shan is also very popular now, and -"

Before Yang Jinghong finished speaking, she was interrupted by her mother.

With a sneer on her face, the mother glanced at Yang Jinghong, "Then they are so popular now, why are you not popular? You don't have the same conditions as them. The entertainment industry is about looks. You are not as good-looking as them, that's the reason!"

The disdain on her mother's face really hurt Yang Jinghong. She was acting alone outside and had suffered a lot, but she never cried, but now, she was holding tears in her eyes.

Yang Jinghong took a deep breath, looked at her mother, and said, "Mom, I know I am not as good-looking as Zhang Zi and Yang Shan, but I will work hard to improve my acting skills and seize opportunities. The play I am filming now is a new play by Teacher Tan Yue, and I also play one of the heroines in the play. I believe I can definitely rise this time."

When Yang Jinghong mentioned Tan Yue, his mother had also heard of him.

After all, there are few Chinese people who don't know Tan Yue now. There are currently seven people on the list of top public figures, and the newly added person is Tan Yue.

And many people have also seen Tan Yue's works. Even though he is a behind-the-scenes staff, his popularity is very high.

The mother hummed lightly 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 you still don't make any progress after the show is broadcast, come back to study hard and quit the entertainment industry."

The mother's words were firm and full of unquestionable.

"Okay." Yang Jinghong nodded and agreed. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I'm full. I'll go back to read the script."

After 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."

"I'm mean?" The mother looked at her father with anger in her eyes and said, "Jinghong is still young. She doesn't know that I'm doing this for her good. Don't you know it yet?"

The father lowered his head and said, "I know you are doing this for the good of the child, but the way should be more tactful. After all, we let this child become an actor in order to make money. Without her, our house would be-"

Bang!

The mother slapped her hand on the dining table and roared: "What are you talking about? What do you mean we are doing this for money? Didn't we ask Jinghong at that time? She was willing to act, and I thought she was talented as an actress. Who knew she would only be popular for two years? Now that she can't be an actress anymore, I have to ask her to come back and study hard?"

"Alas." The father sighed and said nothing more.

On the other side, Yang Jinghong, who returned to her room, sat in front of the window, looked up through the glass window, and looked at the bright white moon hanging high in the night.

Tears slowly slid down the corners of her eyes.

She was only fourteen years old, and children of her age were still in junior high school, but she had already shouldered some pressure.

This pressure made her helpless, confused, and melancholy.

...

...

During the Spring Festival, for most Chinese people, it is undoubtedly relaxing and comfortable.

After a busy year, some are still working in other places, and there is only such a period of time for family reunion.

In the suburbs of Jishui City, firecrackers rang out.

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 Zi Yu and see if she is sleepy. If she is, let her sleep for a while. We can wait for her. Making dumplings in the morning is a ritual. It is the same every year. There is no need to follow the rules. I just don't know if the sound of firecrackers just now woke Zi Yu up. I told you not to set off firecrackers, but you insisted on setting them off with your dad."

Li Yulan called Tan Yue, who had just finished setting off firecrackers, and asked him to quietly check if Chen Ziyu had woken up.

Tan Yue smiled and came to the west wing. Without knocking on the door, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket. As soon as he unlocked the door, he saw the message from Chen Ziyu.

"I'm up."

This message was sent three minutes ago. It is estimated that 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, Yue."

"Are you up?" Tan Yue asked.

Chen Ziyu said: "Yeah, I'm up and ready to go out."

Tan Yue said: "Okay, you come out, I'm outside the door."

When Chen Ziyu walked out of the west wing, he smelled a hint of firecrackers and some firecracker residue in the yard.

Li Yulan stood at the kitchen door, holding a rolling pin in her hand and wearing an apron. She looked at Chen Ziyu with a smile on her face and asked, "Ziyu, are you awake? Did the firecrackers wake you up?"

Chen Ziyu quickly shook her head and said, "No, Auntie. I just woke up and just stayed in bed for a while."

Li Yulan smiled and said, "Okay, Ziyu, go wash up first. There are new toothbrushes, toothpaste 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 with a plate, but during the Chinese New Year, she usually eats dumplings with a bowl, probably because she thinks it is more ceremonial.

After eating dumplings, under Tan Yue's slightly mischievous gaze, Chen Ziyu stood up, came to Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan, bowed to them, a little shy, but with a smile on her face, and said: "Uncle and aunt, happy new year, 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 sealed thickly.

"Thank you Ziyu."

"Thank you Ziyu."

As they said, the two stuffed the prepared red envelope into Chen Ziyu's hands.

Chen Ziyu refused again and again, but was defeated in front of Li Yulan.

Afterwards, Li Yulan also reminded Tan Yue not to forget to wish Chen Ziyu's parents a happy new year.
