Liu Xin'an didn't know much about the customs in other cities in China, but in Jincheng, especially at Liu Xin'an's house, although he had not officially brought a girl to his family, he still had some understanding of some traditional customs.
When bringing a girl home for the first time, the boy's parents usually give the girl a big red envelope of no less than 2,000 yuan, which is called a meeting gift.
That is, it is a gift given by the elders to the younger ones when they meet for the first time.
If there are other elders in the family at this time, they will also have to pay this amount.
At that time, Liu Xin'an heard about a man in their town who brought a girlfriend back in the first year and got a lot of money from his elders.
Then the next year I brought a new girlfriend back.
There is really no one who can gather wool and bring it to his own home.
In addition, besides the meeting gift, there is another kind of gift.
This is also commonly known as the correction fee.
According to common sense, the change fee should usually wait until the wedding or engagement, and be paid in front of both parents.
But because Pu Zhenshu and Liu Zhengjiang were very satisfied with their "future" daughter-in-law, and at that time Pu Zhenshu had not thought that she would come back so soon...
Since it is not easy for both parents to meet, they thought of giving it in advance.
So after the big red envelope gift of NT$2,000, Pei Zhuhyun received another NT$999 change fee.
When Pei Zhuxuan accepted the money, it actually meant that she could take care of Liu Xin'an's parents and call them parents.
but...
How could she, a Korean, know all this nonsense!
Li Chenglu and Liu Xin'an didn't pay much attention to it. After all, in their usual thinking, this was a common sense thing.
As for why Bae Zhuhyun didn't change her tune, maybe it's because she's shy?
Liu Xin'an and Li Chenglu both thought so, or Liu Zhengjiang and Park Zhenshu probably thought so.
Poor little Pei was kept in the dark by herself, and even felt aggrieved because Park Jung-sook and Liu Zhengjiang didn't let her change her story...
"Uh... that's the fee for changing your statement. If you accept it, it means you agree to change your statement."
"Change your words? Change your words to what?"
"...Just call my parents mom and dad. Don't you have this custom over there?"
There was silence for a few seconds on both sides of the phone.
After a while, Pei Zhuhyun's angry voice sounded.
"Ah! I've never been in love, how do I know if there is such a custom? Why...why did you tell me!"
"I thought you knew."
"Axi..." (Korean expletive)
Very good, grumpy Pei is online again.
However, the irritable little Pei still had sense and did not curse outright.
She is still doing some image management, at least in front of her boyfriend, she doesn't want to curse...
"Ahem, there are many cars here, so I'll hang up first."
"Ah! Liu Xin'an, do you want to run away?"
"Bye, my dear~"
"ah..."
While waiting for the red light, Liu Xin'an pressed the call end button and took a deep breath.
Very good, just pretend that nothing happened.
On the other side, Bae Zhuhyun, who was hung up on for the first time in such a long relationship, looked at her photo on the phone screen and laughed silently.
This person probably had a really guilty conscience, otherwise he wouldn't have hung up the phone in such a hurry.
"Knock knock knock"
"What's wrong?" The knock on the door made Pei Zhuxuan ask subconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open through a gap, and Kang Seulgi, who had a round head and a pair of round-rimmed glasses, gradually poked her head out.
She heard the "Axi" just now in the living room.
She was a little gossipy... She was a little worried that something unhappy had happened to this sister, so she thought of coming over to care about Pei Zhuhyun.
"Sister, what's going on? I heard you swearing."
"Not that bastard Liu Xin'an."
"What's going on? Let me tell you. Did you two have a fight?"
Jiang Seulqi's eyes lit up instantly. She ran into Bae Zhuhyun's bedroom and jumped onto Bae Zhuhyun's bed with an extremely skillful gesture.
Then he took a doll nearby and held it in his arms, his eyes full of curiosity.
"...Are you concerned about me or are you curious about this?"
"Of course I care about you. We are good sisters. We have known each other for more than ten years. How can I stand on his side?"
"Indeed, if I find out that you are plotting against me without telling me, you will be dead, you know?" Pei Zhuxuan, who was in a bad mood, had coldness all over her delicate little face, and she waved her hand symbolically.
Those pink and tender little fists were in a ferocious posture.
But to be honest, no matter how ferocious the harmless little rabbit behaves, can it scare the silly bear every day?
Well...it actually works. After all, Jiang Seulqi is indeed plotting against Bae Zhuhyun and Liu Xinan without telling her.
It’s just a good thing and a surprise, so it’s not a calculation!
right!
"So, why did he mess with you?"
"...nothing."
Bae Zhuhyun's answer almost made Jiang Seulqi take a breath. She had been looking forward to hearing the gossip, but now Bae Zhuhyun had filled the suspense, but instead chose to hide it.
Isn't this a bit too much?
"Tell me, I swear not to tell anyone."
"Want to know?"
"Um!"
"Sake an oath first."
"Really?"
Bae Zhuhyun leaned against the head of the bed, crossed her legs under the quilt, held her chin in one hand, and looked at Jiang Seulgi with interest.
Don't always think that Pei Zhuhyun always looks well-behaved and obedient in front of Liu Xin'an. She is a very easy target. In fact, this person is a real sister.
Very dignified in the team - sometimes.
"All right."
For the sake of gossip, Jiang Seulqi risked her life.
What is the scariest oath for a female artist?
That’s right, you’re gaining weight!
"If I hear the gossip and talk nonsense, let me gain ten pounds...five pounds tomorrow!"
Five kilograms is already scary, and it’s the kind of thing that would make Seulgi faint immediately after being weighed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Do you know how difficult it is for a female artist who is already very thin to lose another pound on such a thin basis?
The sadness in it can be said to make those who hear it sad and those who see it cry.
"Okay, I'm very sincere, then I'll tell you."
"good!"
"That is, I can actually call Liu Xin'an's parents dad and mom, but I don't know that I can directly call Liu Xin'an's parents dad and mom, and Liu Xin'an doesn't know that I don't know. He thinks that I don't call mom and dad just because of me.
Shy, so now that he knows it, he tells me that he can actually call his parents mom and dad..."
Pei Zhuxuan took a deep breath and slapped the bed angrily.
"So, I got very angry and cursed!"
Jiang Seqi was dumbfounded. After being stunned for a long time, she murmured: "Axi..."
"Yeah! You also cursed? And you cursed at your sister?"
Jiang Seulqi stood up speechlessly and moved her hands on both sides of her head, which meant that she felt that there was something wrong with Bae Zhuhyun's brain.
"Neuropathy."
"Seulgi!"
———
Another day has passed.
To Liu Xin'an's great surprise, he had made great progress after taking leave yesterday and had been busy making gifts.
This time, after he shaped a little rabbit again, he immediately sent it to Old E.
He doesn't have anyone to whom he can send it, and the only ones he can really send it to are his friends who are the uploaders.
Teacher San had better forget it, he was afraid of irritating the other person, so he could only choose among the few people he was in love with.
Old E is a pretty good candidate.
The other party responded very quickly.
What the hell are you pinching?
Rabbit, can't you see?
Old E waited for a few minutes before slowly replying: I asked Fei Fei and she said it was stool.
Grass!
Of course, this is just a joke. What Liu Xinan created this time is actually very similar to what the teacher taught in the video.
The next thing to do is to polish the details more carefully.
After polishing the details, the next step is the more difficult coloring.
Liu Xin'an was completely confused about painting, so he bought a lot of paints, and in order to follow the teacher's pace step by step, he even bought the same type of seasonings and brushes as the teacher.
There was no way, since he had never studied systematically, he could only follow the instructions.
Are you giving this to your girlfriend? Is it too ordinary?
What matters is the intention, don’t you understand this?
There is no need to be so polite when chatting between good friends. Mutual insults and ridicule are commonplace.
How do you arrange it? Let me, the big brother in love, listen to it and give you some advice.
Well...
This time it was Liu Xin'an's turn to be silent. Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have only considered what gifts to prepare. As for the specific surprise...
Help! How can I do it better?
This is a bit more ordinary. You have prepared such an innovative gift, or simply book a better restaurant.
I plan to make it for her myself.
Then celebrate at home, invite her over, and tell her directly that it's a celebration. Don't have too many surprises. If there are too many surprises, the other party's expectations will become higher and higher...
Old E's voice became smaller and smaller when he said this, probably because he didn't want his girlfriend to hear this.
To be honest, if the surprise is high at the beginning, it will be difficult to replicate this surprise later.
The advice from people who have experienced it is tantamount to enlightenment for Liu Xin'an.
His thoughts suddenly became clear, and his whole mood relaxed.
Thank you, Brother Zhang. Let’s play games together when we have time.
I told you not to play with me!
Liu Xin'an cannot see this reply because he is still focused on his handicrafts.
Ah, by the way, even though he was busy preparing gifts, he still took some time to edit the video of a meal he had shot with Pei Zhuhyun.
The video probably shows him getting more and more tired while playing the game, and then he made a bad mistake.
At this time, Xiao Pei, wearing a small TV hood, suddenly appeared and handed him the product wordlessly.
After drinking it, he became very powerful and could clear the game like chopping melons and vegetables.
Hmm...a very boring video.
But it has a lot of views.
After all, this is Liu Xin'an's first video of this kind. It is normal for many people to come here with curious ideas.
Besides, who doesn’t want to see a handsome guy make a fool of himself?
Of course, the release of this kind of video is bound to make him lose some of his fans. In fact, ever since he and Bae Joo Hyun made it public, there has always been a small number of fans who are very dissatisfied with his approach.
Not only female fans, but some of his career fans also expressed strong dissatisfaction with his actions.
But Liu Xin'an never listens to fans. He even imitated Old E to refine his fans some time ago.
This time it was this group of people who were purified.
Although doing this can allow Liu Xin'an to retain a group of die-hard fans, the fans filtered out due to this method will also become his number one enemies.
I can only say that there are advantages and disadvantages.
Putting the pinched little rabbit aside, the more Liu Xin'an looked at it, the more amazing he felt.
He wiped his hands with a tissue, stretched his back that was a little sore from sitting for a long time, and then looked up at the time.
It's almost 11 o'clock at noon now. I already asked for leave yesterday and stopped broadcasting. I definitely can't take any more leave today.
Liu Xin'an stood up, locked the door of the studio, then took his mobile phone to the living room and sat down.
Now that the little rabbit has taken shape, Liu Xin'an feels that he can complete it in a few days.
And after tonight's live broadcast, he will also take some time to learn how to polish in advance, so the pressure on him in terms of time is already much less than before.
Now there are only 11 days left before the 100-day anniversary. Excluding three days of Bae Zhuhyun coming over, he has eight days to prepare.
Um!
Have confidence.
However, compared to Liu Xinan, who is making steady progress in everything, Bae Zhuhyun, who is scratching her head in the company's practice room, is very confused.
She felt that she was becoming a little paranoid now. Maybe Liu Xin'an's bracelet had too much impact on people, and she didn't know what appropriate thing to give to Liu Xin'an.
She has already bought headphones. After considering everyone's opinions, she found a pair of headphones that are both good-looking and practical.
This thing is not difficult to get, as long as the budget is in place, you can buy anything.
But even so, it's not easy to match the price of that bracelet.
"Honestly, sister Zhuhyun, are you under too much pressure?"
Bae Zhuhyun, who was leaning against the wall to relax, heard the voice of the youngest sister Jin Yelin and showed a helpless smile.
"What do you mean?"
"It's just a gift. There is no need to get a gift that matches the price. Besides, Liu Xin'an is not the kind of person who follows trends. If you give her an expensive luxury item, he won't match it.
Bar."
Kim Ye-rin analyzed this very well, and Bae Joo-hyun herself also knew this.
Her boyfriend is not the kind of person who needs fashion sense or expensive things to enhance his taste.
With a face like that and a figure like that, Liu Xin'an can look like a model even if she wears a torn sackcloth.
"Then what do you think I should give you?"
"Prepare a surprise. Sister Zhuhyun, you only thought about gifts. What exactly are you going to do that day? You can't just give each other gifts and end it hastily, right? We have to do something together, right?"
