The first time they met and the first time they came home to celebrate the New Year, Chu Xuan gave him a circle of blessings. If the relationship between Liu Xiaoli and Qian Qian gave the family an initial favorable impression of Chu Xuan, then now they have a further favorable impression.
In particular, they first respected their grandmother, then their elders, and then their peers. Such etiquette also made them feel Chu Xuan's cultivation.
They respected Liu Xiaoli last because Chu Xuan and Liu Xiaoli were a family, and the etiquette of putting outside first and then inside also made them feel that Chu Xuan was different from his peers.
Finally, when they paid homage to Sissi, Sissi's happy response also allowed them to see the affection between the two children.
You need to look at the details to judge people. Chu Xuan's simple greeting improved the family's good impression of Chu Xuan.
As the saying goes, three rounds of toasting are performed first, and after three rounds, you can freely express yourself. This can also be regarded as the Chinese wine culture.
The first two rounds were initiated by grandma. First, everyone toasted to celebrate the arrival of the Spring Festival, and then they jointly welcomed Chu Xuan's arrival.
"Come on, the third round." Liu Xiaoli initiated the third round and raised her glass.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei picked up the small wine glasses that matched the two-liang wine vessels, signaled to the elders, and drank them all in one gulp.
"Xiaoxuan, my aunt pays homage to you." Zhou Wenqiong raised her glass.
Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he put down his wine glass and came again without even taking a bite of the food.
But when he first arrived and faced Liu Yifei's elders, he didn't have time to think too much. He filled the wine glass with the wine divider and then picked up the wine glass.
"Auntie, I respect you." Chu Xuan said.
Neither of them said a word of blessing and just drank it all in one gulp. It was considered that everything was in the wine.
But Chu Xuan put down his wine glass and just had a bite of food when his uncle came again.
"Xiaoxuan, I respect you." said the uncle.
Chu Xuan was slightly surprised. The speed of the toast was a bit fast. Maybe there was some "conspiracy".
He quietly glanced at Liu Xiaoli, and he caught Liu Xiaoli's thoughtful look. It seemed that Liu Xiaoli was not trying to punish him.
Chu Xuan couldn't understand it now, but the elders were toasting, so he could only serve wine in return.
"Uncle, I respect you." Chu Xuan said.
Liu Yifei looked at the situation. Her aunt, uncle and aunt were well hidden, so she couldn't see anything. But the special smile in her grandmother's eyes told her that the elders had laid a plan for Chu Xuan.
But today was the Spring Festival, and Chu Xuan came to her big family for the first time. She was already very happy, so she didn't think about it anymore. Anyway, her family would not harm Chu Xuan.
"Xiaoxuan, I respect you." Aunt raised her glass.
"Aunt, I respect you." Chu Xuan responded.
Liu Xiaoli thought for a while and figured it out. When she was helping the kitchen in the afternoon, she said inadvertently that although Chu Xuan was sincere and frank in front of her and Qian Qian, Chu Xuan would not reveal his true feelings in front of unfamiliar people.
But Chu Xuan has a weakness, that is, once he drinks too much, he will speak his mind.
She had had drinks with Chu Xuan many times, and she had a deep understanding of it. Every time Chu Xuan spoke the truth after drinking, she was both moved and amused.
It is probably because of what she said unintentionally that Zhou Wenqiong, his eldest brother and sister-in-law, including his mother, became interested and prepared to test Chu Xuan by pouring him wine?
At this point, Liu Xiaoli shook her head in her heart and decided to ignore the little fun of her brothers, sisters and old mother for the time being.
Liu Xiaoli also knew that the family wanted to know more about Chu Xuan for the sake of Sissi.
"Grandma, I respect you."
It was no big deal for elders to respect a junior like him, so Chu Xuan decided to take the initiative and start paying respects to his grandmother first.
"Xiao Xuan, grandma uses tea instead of wine. I wish you good luck in your career and a rapid rise." Grandma said happily.
"Thank you, grandma. I wish you health and longevity, and may the trees and cranes stay green forever." Chu Xuan replied.
After putting down the wine glass, listening to the chatter of the elders, and eating a few bites of food, Chu Xuan's toasting project started again.
"Uncle, I respect you."
"Auntie, I respect you."
"Aunt..."
"cousin……"
"cousin……"
Just like that, in less than half an hour, Chu Xuan played three rounds in a row, which could be regarded as three rounds after drinking.
Seeing Chu Xuan's drunken state, Liu Xiaoli secretly laughed: "Silly boy, jump into the pit yourself."
Liu Yifei pulled off Chu Xuan's pocket and frowned slightly: "Drink slowly."
Chu Xuan nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to sober up.
"Xiao Xuan, I heard that it was Sissi who confessed her love to you?" Zhou Wenqiong asked suddenly, looking at Chu Xuan while reaching out to pick up the vegetables.
Seeing this, the corners of Liu Xiaoli's mouth slowly turned up, Chu Xuan's test was coming.
Liu Yifei was attracted by her aunt's question. As soon as she picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, she looked at Chu Xuan next to her with her chopsticks in her mouth.
"Yes." Chu Xuan replied. He was mentally prepared before coming here. He would definitely be asked about the relationship between him and Sissi. This family loves Sissi so much that it would be abnormal not to ask.
"Why didn't you confess your love to Sissi?" Zhou Wenqiong asked again, putting some shredded potatoes into the bowl.
"Sissi was still young at the time. I think it was too early." Chu Xuan said truthfully. This was indeed his answer to his original understanding of love.
"Since you think Sissi is still young, why did you agree to her confession?" Zhou Wenqiong asked again, picking up some shredded potatoes in the bowl.
"If rejection will cause a rift in the hearts of both parties, the most important thing is that I also like her, and her original love thoughts were rational and pure. At the same time, I am also sure that this love will not go astray and will not affect my career."
Chu Xuan said.
Grandma still had a smile on her face and listened to their conversation quietly.
While Liu Xiaoli was listening, she was slowly picking up vegetables and eating. She knew Chu Xuan deeply and didn't take her sister's questions seriously.
Liu Yifei took out the chopsticks from her mouth and continued to eat. When she saw that there was still a duck gizzard that no one was eating, she gave the gizzard to Chu Xuan, which was Chu Xuan's favorite.
Seeing Liu Yifei picking up food for Chu Xuan, everyone's faces felt a little warm, and they also recognized Chu Xuan's answer.
At least with their understanding, Liu Yifei's career has been rising step by step, and it has indeed not been delayed or affected.
Zhou Wenqiong took the wine glass and drank it with Chu Xuan, then asked the previous topic: "In other words, the moment you and Qian Qian confirmed your relationship, you had a vision for your future?"
"Yes." Chu Xuan took a piece of tiger skin green pepper and stuffed it into his mouth.
"What idea?" Zhou Wenqiong put down the wine glass.
"Building a harmonious career and making progress together." Chu Xuan blurted out.
Liu Yifei narrowed her eyes. Although she and Chu Xuan did this, they never concluded.
These eight words spoken by Chu Xuan simply summed up her and Chu Xuan's development path.
"This sounds like a certain policy confirmed by politics. It's brilliant." My uncle said this.
Hearing this, everyone was slightly happy.
"Tell me more about it?" Zhou Wenqiong also smiled.
Chu Xuan didn't think much, put down his chopsticks and said bluntly: "Her career is my career, and my career is her career. Whether it's actors, producers, directors, or the film and television industry, we either don't do it, or we do it together."
Liu Yifei may have been full for the time being and had some time to rest. She put her hands on the table and supported her chin. After listening to Chu Xuan's words, she nodded slightly.
"Why is it conceived this way? Have you ever thought that if your careers were separated, your career would probably be smoother based on your abilities." Zhou Wenqiong said.
Everyone was eating and drinking, and they were also curious about Zhou Wenqiong's questions.
Although they don't know much about Chu Xuan, judging from the information they got from the news, Chu Xuan can achieve such an achievement in just a few years. If he develops alone wholeheartedly, the development speed will definitely be faster.
Now having a friend with Sissi seems to have slowed down the development pace of Chu Xuan's career, but at the same time, it has accelerated the development pace of Sissi's career.
After this back and forth, Chu Xuan and Qian Qian's careers seemed to have found a balance point.
As Sissi's family, this is of course a good thing.
But for Chu Xuan, it was a little sacrifice, so they wanted to know Chu Xuan's thoughts.
Liu Yifei frowned slightly, wondering why her aunt asked this.
But the next moment she looked at Chu Xuan's slightly tipsy face, she suddenly reacted.
When Chu Xuan drinks too much, he will talk freely. Usually, some topics that Chu Xuan doesn't want to talk about will be revealed under the influence of alcohol.
Only people who are familiar with Chu Xuan know that Chu Xuan has this characteristic. Maybe her mother said something. She seems to understand now that her aunt and the others are testing Chu Xuan.
At this point, Liu Yifei's brows relaxed, she no longer had any doubts, and she looked at Chu Xuan lively.
"I have also considered what my aunt said. If I just develop my personal career alone and use my company's resources, I might have won the Best Actor Award by now." Chu Xuan said.
"Yes, then why don't you consider single-line development?" Zhou Wenqiong asked.
Chu Xuan took a bite of vegetables and put it into the bowl, looked at Liu Yifei and said, "Because I like it so much, I must cherish it."
The corners of Liu Yifei's mouth gradually turned up, and a hint of affection flashed in her eyes.
Liu Xiaoli glanced at Chu Xuan and then at her daughter, feeling warm in her heart. She took a drink from her wine glass and took a sip from her elder brother without disturbing their conversation.
Zhou Wenqiong looked at the loving look between Chu Xuan and Qian Qian and said lightly: "Why do you say that?"
Chu Xuan looked at Liu Xiaoli and said, "Auntie's feelings are a lesson learned from the past. Sissi and I don't want to make the same mistake again."
"My feelings?!" Liu Xiaoli couldn't laugh or cry. She never thought that Chu Xuan and her daughter would use her feelings as a reference.
But at the same time, she also became interested.
Without waiting for Zhou Wenqiong to ask, she took the initiative and asked: "Tell me about it."
Under the eyes of a group of people who were full of interest, Chu Xuan smoothed his thoughts and said: "It only took more than two years for Auntie and Uncle An to fall in love and leave home. Sissi also told me a lot about the relationship between you two.
thing."
Liu Xiaoli glanced at Sissi, and Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose cutely.
"Auntie, you were a career maniac at that time, obsessed with dancing; Uncle An was also a workaholic, immersed in education; the two careers were a parallel line, with no intersection, and when the passion when you first met disappears, you will have nothing.
common topic."
"It's a terrible thing that men and women have no common topics to talk about when they get along. This is also the reason why Auntie you and Uncle An finally divorced."
"If Auntie, you were willing to take the time to learn about Uncle An's education career; Uncle An was willing to take the time to learn about Auntie's dance career."
"Then, you explore each other's careers and can make constructive suggestions for each other's careers to help each other's career growth. How can you get divorced?"
"Yes." Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly, holding her chin with her hands and saying like a flower: "For a man, his woman can actually help his career. Such a woman is extremely precious; for a woman, she
A man who is willing to help his career thrive, what does such a man want in life?”
Liu Xiaoli's face froze, Zhou Wenqiong and her eldest brother and sister-in-law looked at Liu Yifei appreciatively.
"My Sissi is sensible now." Grandma sat next to Liu Yifei, and her family members stroked their granddaughter's head with great relief.
Liu Xiaoli faced her daughter and saw that her eyes were still clear and pure. She was deceived by this appearance.
It seems that she has not yet fully explored her daughter's maturity.
It seems that Chu Xuan understands his daughter's heart better than she does.
Chu Xuan took the wine glass and drank a glass of wine with his uncle, then put down the wine glass and said: "Auntie, you have trained Sissi since she was a child. As a result, Sissi's character is very similar to yours. She is very persistent in the pursuit of career and yearning for dreams. Of course, this is also
Auntie, what you want to see."
Liu Xiaoli nodded. She would do her best to support and accompany her daughter in her pursuit and dreams for the rest of her life.
No one can change this.
Even Chu Xuan is on the same front as her.
Otherwise, she would not accept Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan and Liu Xiaoli looked at each other and said, "Similarly, since Sissi and I got close, she has changed my mentality and inspired my pursuit. Now I have very high requirements for my career."
Liu Xiaoli expressed her recognition that the careers that Chu Xuan and Qian Qian are pursuing now are indeed on a higher level than before, which is something she is gratified about.
"So." Chu Xuan said: "Sissi and I are equally ambitious, so are the situations between Sissi and me similar to Auntie, you and Uncle An?"
Liu Xiaoli suddenly understood, and then she said with a smile: "So, in order to avoid making the same mistakes as her father and I, you and Sissi don't let your careers become two parallel lines and thus lead to possible conflicts.
, you have chosen the emotional path of career compatibility from the very beginning?"
"Yes!" Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly: "Chu Xuan and I have known each other since we were young, and we have started our careers together from scratch. With the accumulation of knowledge and the improvement of artistic ideas, we will have collisions and sparks along the way, just like first love.
passion, and there is no end to learning about art, then we will have unlimited topics to talk about throughout our lives, and we will never get bored.”
"You are really sensible." Grandma sighed again, reaching out and pinching her granddaughter's face with a doting look on her face.
She was also an actress when she was young, so she could naturally understand the conversations between Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
She also knows very well what Chu Xuan and Qian Qian's career integration path means.
At least, if this road can really go on, as her granddaughter Sissi said, there will be unlimited passion in this life, and the relationship between men and women will only get deeper and deeper.
Zhou Wenqiong is also an actor, and he also understands the significance of pursuing this path.
She was stunned and then appreciated the 18-year-old Sissi's sensibleness.
She knew very well that when her sister and brother-in-law had a conflict, her 10-year-old niece watched the whole process and experienced family trivial matters that most of her peers had never experienced.
Sissi's maturity was unexpected but also reasonable.
"Xiaoxuan, Qianqian, uncle respects you." He picked up the wine glass and said: "I was shocked after hearing what you said, but at the same time, I am relieved that you are sensible and that you are so young and can do so for you.
I also admire them for making such a well-thought-out blueprint for the future that most people can’t even imagine.”
"I support you, move forward bravely with your goals, and wish you better and better." He added.
Whether it was Chu Xuan's answer after being asked by Zhou Wenqiong, or the remarks made by his niece Qianqian, he, the elder, was completely conquered.
Chu Xuan and Qian Qian are unique existences.
But equally, who can really make a mark in the world, who is not different?
If you follow the path of ordinary people, you will always be ordinary people.
Not only the uncle, but also the aunt, at this moment, the whole family looked at Chu Xuan and Xixi with admiration and looked forward to their future.
"Xiaoxuan, do you know that your aunt supports you two precisely because of the path you and Sissi have taken?" Zhou Wenqiong said.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei raised their eyebrows and looked at Liu Xiaoli at the same time.
Of course they know this reason, because every time they see their progress, aunt (mother) is very happy.
It is precisely because of this that they become more and more determined to the route they have set.
Liu Xiaoli showed her face slightly, picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink one."
The core reason for her support was that the two children should pursue a harmonious career path, but she did not know the reason why the two children chose this path. After this family dinner and hearing the speeches of the two children just now, she completely understood
, it turned out to be based on her feelings.
No matter what, this is the right path.
At the same time, she is also very pleased that her two children are sensible and gives her the highest support from the bottom of her heart.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei raised their wine glasses, and under the warm eyes of the family, the family drank it all.
"Little
It's a lot. You have such wealth at a young age but your behavior is different. It's not unreasonable for you to succeed." Zhou Wenqiong praised Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan smiled back, with a humble face and no words.
"Xiaoxuan, I heard from your aunt that you are going to take Sissi to invest in the future so that her capital strength will be consistent with yours. Why don't you just give her money?" asked her aunt.
Chu Xuan glanced at Liu Yifei and said: "For other girls, giving her money directly may allow her to enjoy it. For Sissi, giving her money directly is equivalent to keeping her. Will Sissy enjoy keeping her? Unless she doesn't call her
Liu Yifei."
"So, studying together allows her to improve her abilities, and then allows her to obtain everything she wants based on her own abilities. This is the minimum respect I have for her."
Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Liu Yifei's heart suddenly palpitated, she picked up the wine glass and said: "Dry it."
Liu Xiaoli patted the table. Chu Xuan's words touched her mother's heart. She raised her glass and said, "I'll accompany you!"
"I'm coming too!" Zhou Wenqiong said.
"Come together!" Grandma picked up the tea cup.
"As Xiaoxuan said, I am sure to hand over Sissi to him!" Grandma said with satisfaction.
Just like that, the whole family respected Chu Xuan and drank it all in one gulp.
