Bae Zhuhyun quickly took a look at the current time.
After arriving here, the mobile phone has automatically changed to the local Chinese time.
It is now 7:30 in the morning, and the alarm clock she set before will go off in ten minutes.
But Bae Zhuhyun doesn't plan to sleep for those ten minutes in between. It would be better if she can be woken up by the alarm clock smoothly, but if she can't wake up...
Staying in bed for the first time at your boyfriend's house? This kind of thing should never happen!
Ms. Pei, who got up from the bed in a panic, had long forgotten how she teased her boyfriend for being cautious at home. Now she is far more embarrassed than Liu Xin'an at that time.
Today's outfit is a white long sweatshirt paired with a pair of black jeans.
Her long hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, revealing her clean, fair and beautiful face.
The make-up she chose was simple no-makeup make-up. At her boyfriend's parents' house, she must have chosen a set of make-up and matching that was not too ostentatious but could show off her charm as much as possible.
This will leave a good impression on the man’s parents!
Yeah! That’s what the Internet says.
There is a bathroom for washing on the second floor. Yesterday, Pei Zhuhyun also washed up on the second floor.
After simply tidying up and confirming that her outfit and makeup were perfect in front of the full-length mirror, Bae Zhuhyun hurried downstairs.
What made her feel a little flustered was that Liu Xin'an's mother, Park Jung-sook, was already up at this time.
And the other person is sitting on the sofa in the living room at this time, with a bunch of... leeks in front of him?
Before coming, Pei Zhuxuan asked Li Chenglu what the New Year customs were here, so after seeing the leeks, she immediately guessed the use of these leeks.
"Good morning, aunt."
The soft voice attracted Park Zhenshu's attention. She turned to look at her son's girlfriend, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Even with such an elegant outfit, Bae Joo Hyun still can't hide her outstanding beauty and temperament.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Sleep well, let me help too!"
She was completely different from Liu Xin'an, who knew nothing about cooking in her family at that time. Although she didn't think her cooking skills were very good, she could still simply help pick a leek.
Park Jung-sook didn't shy away from being helped. She smiled and gave a handful of leeks to Bae Zhu-hyun, then patted her side and motioned for him to sit over.
Pei Zhuxuan quickly sat down and picked up the bundle of leeks.
"Is it your first time to experience the New Year atmosphere in China?"
"Well, I rarely come here. I've always been curious about China."
Pei Zhuxuan nodded obediently, and the movements of his hands were very neat.
"Artists~ When I didn't come here, I also yearned for artists. I didn't expect that my son actually found an artist girlfriend. Does this count as fulfilling my dream?"
"Did you want to be an artist back then?"
"Of course, what woman didn't yearn for celebrities in that era? It seems to be that time in 1992, do you know Kim Nam-joo? That was my idol back then!"
"Ah! Senior Kim Nam-joo, I really like the movie "The Mist" that senior produced two years ago."
Of course Bae Joo-hyun has heard of this kind of senior senior, who is still active on the screen. He is the kind of super senior senior who she must greet respectfully when she sees him in real life.
"I also watched The Mist, and the acting was so good."
Probably because she was able to see her compatriots again after so many years, Park Jung-sook did not show the "ferocious" appearance that Bae Zhuhyun was worried about. Instead, she told the young junior about her story from the perspective of an elder.
Stories of the ages.
"I went to check up on you last night, Zhuhyun. You are in a girl group. Will you act in a TV series in the future?"
"Uh..." Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips in embarrassment, and then said angrily, "I have tried it before, but the company seems to think that I am not suitable for acting, so I may not be able to pursue the career of an actor..."
"She's so beautiful but she's not good enough? Who is your leader, so ignorant?"
"Teacher Li Xiuman..."
Pu Zhenshu pouted, she had heard of Li Xiuman. She knew that this man had some S-M plan before she left Korea. She even secretly sent the registration form back then.
It's a pity that it probably didn't pass the review. Anyway, there was no news after I sent it.
Since then, she has not had a good impression of this guy named Li Xiuman.
"No wonder, I have no vision! I have no vision!"
He rejected her 30 years ago and refused to let Bae Zhuhyun become an actor 30 years later. Has this person not made any progress in 30 years?
"Auntie, does she know Teacher Li Xiuman?"
"Of course I know. He was quite popular when I was in school, but then he stopped for a while and started some S-M project... It seems to be the predecessor of your company now, right?"
"Yes."
"That's no wonder. By the way, can you change jobs?"
Pei Zhuhyun put down a small handful of leeks and was about to pick up another handful when she heard Park Jung-sook's words.
She was stunned for a moment, then looked confused: "Jumping?"
"Yes, do you know JYP?"
Bae Zhuhyun nodded. She must know that JYP, S-M where she works, and a company called YG are also known as the three major management companies.
Even Twice, who has a good relationship with her, is an idol group under JYP.
But what she didn't understand was why Park Jung Sook suddenly mentioned JYP.
"Then do you want to switch jobs to JYP?"
"Well...it's probably hard to do."
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. Do you want it? If you want, Auntie can help you."
"ah?"
Pei Zhuxuan opened her mouth slightly, looking confused.
She didn't question Liu Xin'an's family background. The big G at Li Chenglu's house next door could actually explain a lot of things.
And the Liu Xin'an family living here is definitely not an ordinary family.
Not to mention anything else, the aura she felt from Liu Xin'an's father Liu Zhengjiang, who was like Teacher Li Xiuman, was enough for her to conclude that her boyfriend was by no means as simple as an ordinary little internet celebrity.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But she couldn't take the initiative to ask about this kind of thing, she could only tell her when Liu Xin'an wanted to explain.
But even so...it doesn't mean that the Liu Xin'an family can reach out to the JYP agency in their country, right?
Just when she was at a loss, the door to her home was pushed open.
The sound of the door opening made her and Pu Zhenshu turn their heads subconsciously, but unfortunately, the person who came was not the Liu Xin'an she wanted to see, but Li Chenglu who lived next door.
Li Chenglu was dressed very beautifully today, and she looked even more exquisite after being carefully dressed up.
“Happy New Year godmother!”
The words of "Happy New Year" spoken by Li Chengjun shocked Bae Zhuhyun and Tongkong.
So we’re going to pay New Year’s greetings today?
Thinking of this, she quickly put down the leek in her hand, stood up, and rubbed her hands on her pants in panic.
Then, with Li Chenglu and Pu Zhenshu looking at her in confusion, she came to Pu Zhenshu and stretched out her hands as if to kneel down.
This is the highest level of courtesy in Goryeo. It is usually done when facing elders.
Park Jung-sook is not only an elder to Bae Zhu-hyun, but also the mother of her boyfriend. There is nothing wrong with her saluting at this time.
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
However, for Park Jung-sook, who had not been treated with such a courtesy for many years, she really felt awkward.
"stop!"
Her shout made Bae Zhuhyun stumble with her legs bent.
Pei Zhuxuan looked at the woman in front of him nervously, but saw a helpless smile on her face.
"A big salute?"
"Because I haven't given you New Year's greetings yet..." Pei Zhuhyun replied weakly.
Pu Zhenshu thought for a few seconds, and finally nodded with a smile.
"Okay, please do your bidding."
This answer finally made Pei Zhuhyun breathe a sigh of relief. She knelt down in front of Pu Zhenshu and greeted the elder in front of her in a regular and polite voice.
Li Chenglu also knew that this matter was very important to Pei Zhuxuan, so he did not interrupt him rashly. Instead, he waited until Pei Zhuxuan got up and then curiously approached Pei Zhuxuan.
"Is this a big gift?"
She had often seen Korean people kneeling down frequently in TV dramas, but how much this scene actually happened in reality still shocked her.
Li Chenglu didn't know about other places, but in her family and Liu Xin'an's family, they didn't need to kowtow to their parents, they only needed to say "Happy New Year" affectionately.
"Yes."
"Zhu Xunna, you can just salute like this with me. When your uncle comes back, there is no need to salute like this with him. He will be very uncomfortable with it."
Because Park Jung-sook and Bae Zhu-hyun are from the same country, she can still accept this etiquette even though it has been many years in real life.
But for Liu Zhengjiang and Liu Xin'an who have never been exposed to this kind of culture, Bae Zhuhyun's actions just now will definitely scare them.
"But this is not in line with etiquette..."
Pei Zhuxuan looked confused and a little confused.
Park Jung-sook also put down the handful of leeks in her hand... Speaking of which, when Bae Zhuhyun gave her a grand gift just now, she was still holding leeks in her hand.
"Okay then, do whatever makes you feel comfortable."
Finally, she relented.
This is Bae Zhuhyun's sincerity and courtesy as a junior. Besides, she understands her husband.
A girl from another country said hello to him using the most solemn etiquette of her country, and he had no reason to refuse.
Everyone understands the principle of doing as the Romans do, but occasionally you have to respect other people's customs.
"Thank you, auntie!"
"You're welcome, Cheng Lu, where is your mother?"
"I'm making noodles. I'll probably be here soon."
"Ah?" Pei Zhuxuan became nervous inexplicably. Speaking of which, it seems that she hasn't met Liu Xin'an's godmother and Li Chenglu's biological mother, right?
I only saw Park Jung-sook last night.
Her nervousness was also noticed by Li Chenglu on the side. She quickly smiled and patted Pei Zhuxuan's back gently, using this method to relax him.
"Don't be nervous, Sister Eileen, my mother is very easy to get along with."
Pei Zhuxuan nodded, but still visibly nervous.
———
"I'm coming back."
After finishing the worship service, Liu Xin'an returned home at nine o'clock, while his father, who was very discerning, went directly to Li Chenglu's house next door.
Anyway, since he couldn't cook, he would most likely be scolded by Park Zhenshu at home. Following the saying of "out of sight, out of mind", he decided to "pick" himself out of the eyes of his wife.
This way at least he won't have to embarrass himself in front of the juniors.
"Yeah, Liu Xin'an, close the door, it's freezing."
No need for Li Chenglu to say anything, Liu Xin'an quickly closed the door tightly and let out a long sigh of relief.
It’s still very cold in Jincheng in February.
Not to mention that he and his father went out early in the morning to the ancestral graves in the suburbs, where they set off firecrackers and burned paper. It was extremely cold.
The heating at home is sufficient, but because it is a self-built house, there is definitely no such thing as floor heating, so you must wear slippers at home.
Hanging his coat on the wardrobe nearby, Liu Xin'an came to his girlfriend and formally greeted his elders one by one.
"Mom, godmother, happy new year!"
"Happy New Year, Xin'an, I'll be 29 this year~"
Wu Xiu happily said hello to her godson. Actually, strictly speaking, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so the New Year greetings should be postponed until tomorrow.
But over the years, everyone has become accustomed to paying New Year greetings on New Year's Eve.
It's just a formality to celebrate, it doesn't need to be so particular.
"I've found a girlfriend this year. You can't rush me this year~"
Liu Xin'an's lively side surprised Bae Zhuhyun beside him.
After seeing the "weak" Liu Xin'an yesterday, she saw a new side of Liu Xin'an today.
It's not that she feels unfamiliar with Liu Xin'an like this, she feels more novel and excited.
By the way, she also paid a big tribute to Wu Xiu just now. This authentic Chinese woman showed a nervous side at first, but soon became excited.
Maybe it’s because she is also a fan of Korean dramas?
Bae Zhuhyun's approach makes her feel like she is in the drama?
Anyway, I'm very excited.
"Your matter is solved, what should Cheng Lu do~"
This sudden change of conversation made Li Chenglu grin. She didn't want to sit here and become the target of her elders' urging for marriage. Besides, if nothing unexpected happened, the house would soon become lively.
Pei Zhuhyun's identity definitely needed to be concealed, so she stood up and pulled up the confused Pei Zhuhyun.
"Mom, godmother, let's go upstairs first. If anyone who comes to pay New Year's greetings recognizes Sister Eileen later, it will be in trouble."
"That's right, you go up and play, Xin'an, you can go up too, we'll just be busy below."
"Um."
Liu Xin'an nodded, stood up, and after briefly explaining to Pei Zhuxuan, Pei Zhuxuan apologetically reached out and grabbed his clothes.
"Is it okay? I feel like I should be helping downstairs..."
"No, Zhuhyun, you won't be able to help me make dumplings for a while. Just go up and play with them. Or Xin'an, you can take Zhuhyun around here. It's her first time here."
Park Jung-sook could understand what Bae Zhuhyun said, so she directly spoke to comfort Bae Zhuhyun.
And this point made Pei Zhuxuan's eyes light up.
Indeed, since she got up today, she hasn't had time to look outside.
It was too late when she came over last night. She didn't even have time to take a good look at this small town that carried Liu Xin'an's childhood.
