With the end of Chu Xuan's "breakthrough", the "game" set up by the family for Chu Xuan also came to an end.
Chu Xuan's young but mature mentality attracted the attention of the whole family.
Chu Xuan's full respect for Qian Qian also endeared him to the whole family.
Chu Xuan and Qian Qian were able to conceive a blueprint for the future and outline a path forward together with a far-sighted vision, which made the whole family feel gratified and affirmed.
Why does Liu Xiaoli, who has a strong and independent personality, support Chu Xuan and Qian Qian so much? The family also got the answer.
Grandma was very satisfied. Just like an elderly person who never recognizes a child but is very kind to her, she kept praising Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
Although it was impossible for the uncle, aunt and aunt to treat Chu Xuan as a relative all at once. After all, it was just their first meeting, their sense of identification with Chu Xuan was strengthened at this moment by the strength of the wine. They raised their glasses and drank with each other while speaking to Chu Xuan.
Much appreciated.
The cousins never spoke, but when they heard Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's love discussions as if they were university professors, they were greatly shocked and felt a huge gap between their peers. This was a gap in mentality and state of mind.
The gap is also a cognitive gap.
This undoubtedly touched their hearts and taught them a lesson.
But his blessings to Liu Yifei and Chu Xuan's recognition were not lost. He also raised his glass and made a toast. When facing Chu Xuan, he was called "brother-in-law" and "brother-in-law" one after another.
The elders drank some wine, and in this cheerful and festive atmosphere, they didn't care about this relatively early title, and instead started to cheer each other.
"Come and have a drink!" Zhou Wenqiong said cheerfully, looking at Chu Xuan jokingly.
"Auntie! What should I do if I'm drunk?" Liu Yifei refused. Seeing that Chu Xuan's face was even more tipsy, of course she had to protect her boyfriend.
Maybe Chu Xuan was very happy, maybe he drank too much, so he reached into his arms and took out a stack of red envelopes from his underwear pocket.
His eyes were a little dazed, but he said with a smile: "Scream a hundred!"
The cousins' eyes lit up, "Brother-in-law!", "Brother-in-law!"...
For a time, such a name was heard all the time.
My cousin looked at the thickness of the red envelope and said, "Brother-in-law, it's not enough."
Chu Xuan waved his hand: "Transfer tomorrow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the elders burst into laughter. This interesting side of Chu Xuan made them feel warm and happy at the same time.
"Are you drunk?" Liu Yifei was so happy that she pulled off Chu Xuan's hand that was about to raise a glass of wine again.
"Happy." Chu Xuan reached out and pointed casually. Such a state made Liu Yifei, his girlfriend, know that she was drunk at a glance.
Liu Xiaoli looked at Chu Xuan with a look of full interest, just like when she drank with Chu Xuan in the past.
Release your nature.
"Stop drinking, we have to go to her dad's with Sissy tomorrow." She took away Chu Xuan's wine divider.
"Uncle, aunt, they are still not having fun." Chu Xuan looked dryly at the wine dispenser that was walking away from him.
"Listen to your mother-in-law!" Liu Yifei said deliberately with a straight face.
Chu Xuan thought for a moment with a dull expression on his face, then nodded and said: "Okay, listen to the mother-in-law!"
Seeing Chu Xuan's amusing drunken state, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but let out a "poof", held her forehead and shook her head.
"That's so funny." The cousins thought so. While being amused by Chu Xuan, it also refreshed their understanding of Chu Xuan.
It turns out that the light-hearted Murong Fu, the extremely bad Guan Xuan, the affectionate Li Xiaoyao, and the big boss worth hundreds of millions, still have such a side.
They also suddenly discovered that their brother-in-law (brother-in-law), after giving up the halo, was a sunny and handsome boy, and an ordinary person who was kind and down-to-earth.
The elders heard from Liu Xiaoli that Chu Xuan and Qian Qian were going there to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, so they stopped drinking with Chu Xuan.
It was a rare gathering together. The situation of Chu Xuan and Qian Qian was generally understood and confirmed. In this warm atmosphere, the whole family chatted until eleven o'clock in the evening.
After an hour or two of not drinking, Chu Xuan sobered up a little, and at the words of his grandma, the reunion cup had arrived.
“Everything goes well this year!”
"Everyone should be happy!"
A glass of reunion wine marked the end of the family banquet.
…
…
When I came to Jiangcheng, there were just some snowflakes floating in the sky.
Not seen this night, the entire Jiangcheng was covered with snow.
It's so tiring that the people from the fire department are clearing the roads before dawn. Without these people, Jiangcheng's traffic may have hidden dangers, and we must pay tribute.
My cousin drove her mother Zhou Wenqiong's car on the street at less than 30 kilometers per hour in the snow-covered weather.
She glanced through the rearview mirror in the car. In the back seat, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were cuddling together with their eyes closed, already asleep.
Liu Yifei can't drive. Chu Xuan and the elders all drank a lot yesterday. She is the only one who can drive and just had a taste of it yesterday. At the request of her mother and aunt, it is natural for her to act as an escort for these two people.
Dog food man's driver.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei stayed up all night on New Year's Eve. They only slept for two or three hours when they arrived in Jiangcheng yesterday. They drank so much wine at the family banquet that they were still drowsy even after sleeping for one night.
Faintly, several shouts grew louder in her ears. Liu Yifei slowly opened her eyes, rubbed her eyes in Chu Xuan's arms, and pinched Chu Xuan's face with her other hand: "We're here."
Chu Xuan woke up, looked out the car window, stretched out his arms, and said to his cousin who turned to look over, "Thank you, cousin."
The cousin blinked: "Come on, take care of my ex-uncle's family."
Chu Xuan nodded and said: "I will try my best."
Liu Yifei said: "You go with us."
The cousin shook her head: "There are guests at home today. You go quickly. When you are done, call me and I will pick you up."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded, opened the car door and walked out. They took out the gifts from the trunk. They carried the things and signaled to their cousin. The cousin immediately drove away. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei walked towards the community on ice.
"Your mother was here yesterday, but today it's just the two of us..." Chu Xuan walked into the community and said.
"Are you nervous?" Liu Yifei glanced at Chu Xuan and said.
"Definitely." Chu Xuan admitted.
I heard Liu Xiaoli say that Liu Yifei's grandfather was a veteran cadre. He had many comrades and brothers, and also brought out many cadre students. He was later transferred to a tertiary hospital in Jiangcheng as a senior party official until his retirement.
Liu Yifei's grandmother was also a cadre. She was later transferred to the Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology as a *** until her retirement.
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei's father, did know that he was currently a professor at Jiangcheng University, but he expected that with the help and paving the way of Liu Yifei's grandparents' connections, Liu Yifei's father would definitely have a good future for advancement.
Liu Yifei's father also had an older brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister. They were the four An family brothers and sisters, all of whom served as government officials in different provinces. Only Liu Yifei's father worked in Jiangcheng.
Liu Xiaoli didn't tell him much about the situation of these people, and told him that he only needed to deal with Dad An, Grandpa An, and Grandma An.
At this point, Chu Xuan felt bitter in his heart. Facing such a wealthy and well-educated person, he felt really frightened.
Going up the stairs of a unit building with Liu Yifei, Chu Xuan's steps were a little heavy.
Seeing this, Liu Yifei stepped up the stairs and asked, "Why are you so nervous?"
Chu Xuan walked side by side with her: "If you face it as someone else, I'm not afraid at all, but if you face it as your boyfriend, I'm a little scared."
Liu Yifei raised her head and smiled: "With my grandfather's relationship, your file has probably been clearly investigated by them. There is no point in being nervous."
Chu Xuan's expression froze: "When you say that, I become even more frightened."
Liu Yifei smiled: "I'm here, what are you afraid of? Yesterday you took care of grandma and the others, today I will do it."
Chu Xuan shook his head, followed Liu Yifei to a floor and stopped. When Liu Yifei took out the key and opened the door, he took a deep breath.
"Click." The door was opened by Liu Yifei.
The sound of exchanges in the room suddenly reached his ears, and Chu Xuan's nervousness became even higher.
When Liu Yifei opened the door, a grandmother happened to pass by the door.
"Oh, my Sissi is here!" Grandma was holding a plate full of dumplings in her hands. She placed the plate on the display cabinet in front of the security door. Suddenly she saw her granddaughter's excitement, which made her look very old.
He walked over with a vigorous pace.
"Grandma." Liu Yifei said sweetly, changing her shoes on the blanket in front of the door.
"Hey!" Grandma's voice was slightly loud, and she hurriedly took the gift from Liu Yifei's hand: "You kid, what else are you bringing back home?"
While receiving the gift, grandma looked straight at Chu Xuan, her scrutinizing eyes towards her grandson-in-law undisguised.
"Happy New Year, grandma." Chu Xuan said shyly. Compared to grandma's dignified, elegant and showy nature, grandma's eyes were very sharp. Although her face was kind, the aura of a strong woman in a superior position naturally came through.
"Xiao Xuan, happy New Year." Grandma said gently and authentically. Although they had never met, Chu Xuan's situation was just as Liu Yifei guessed. Their family had already known about it. Their granddaughter heard on the phone that she was coming to pay New Year's greetings today, and her family was also looking forward to it.
.
The movement at the door spread to the living room, and footsteps came from the living room.
"Daddy." Liu Yifei took off the hood of her down jacket and shouted to her daddy.
She did not run to her father immediately, but waited for Chu Xuan to change his shoes.
She was well aware of Chu Xuan's nervousness, and she knew that leaving Chu Xuan would definitely make Chu Xuan feel uncomfortable.
Just like when he went to his grandma's house yesterday, Chu Xuan's discomfort required her to provide him with a sense of security.
After Chu Xuan changed into slippers, grandma also took the gift from Chu Xuan, and then Liu Yifei pulled Chu Xuan to her father.
"Happy New Year, uncle." Chu Xuan said.
"Happy New Year." Ankang nodded gently.
At this time, several more people came over in the living room.
"grandfather."
"Uncle."
"Sister-in-law."
"Uncle."
"..."
Liu Yifei shouted kindly, and Chu Xuan also shouted after her.
When the elders heard Chu Xuan's address, they all responded: "Happy New Year."
Ankang stroked his daughter's head: "Come in and sit down."
Liu Yifei said "hmm", and then she was pulled by her sister-in-law to greet her. Grandpa, uncle and brother-in-law watched all the way.
In Chu Xuan's eyes, unlike her grandmother's family, where women were in charge, Liu Yifei's father's family was obviously in charge of men.
When I went to my grandma's house yesterday, the whole family hugged each other and held hands. When I came to this house today, except for grandma and my sister-in-law who were very enthusiastic, the rest of the family were very reserved.
The difference between the families of the female host and the male host is simply clear.
And these two families have one thing in common: a room full of strong people.
"Sit down and rest." Ankang said, leading Chu Xuan to sit down on the sofa.
Liu Yifei sat next to Chu Xuan and chatted with her sister-in-law.
Perhaps because she has been brought up by her mother since she was a child, Liu Yifei felt a little strange coming to her father's house today compared to the relaxation she felt at her grandma's house yesterday.
What's more, her uncle, sister-in-law and others have been working away from home in her memory and haven't come back several times a year.
Therefore, even if I am chatting with my dear sister-in-law, it is basically my sister-in-law who is asking and Liu Yifei is answering.
"Xiao Xuan, what do you like to eat? Grandma will help you add some. We will have dinner at noon." Grandma said enthusiastically from the edge of the living room.
"Grandma, don't bother, I won't pick." Chu Xuan shook his head quickly.
"You're welcome." Grandma said again.
"Grandma, you really don't need it." Chu Xuan waved his hand.
"This child..." Grandma shook her head, said no more, turned and walked to the kitchen.
My sister-in-law and uncle have to rush back to their jobs this afternoon due to work reasons.
Therefore, when they heard that Chu Xuan and Qian Qian were coming to pay New Year greetings, the grandparents arranged the family dinner at noon.
It is not uncommon for their family to often have reunion dinner at noon due to their busy careers.
"Do you smoke?" The uncle took out two cigarettes from the cigarette case and handed them to Chu Xuan across Ankang.
Chu Xuan reached out to pick it up, but was slapped down by Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei raised her eyes and said, "You don't smoke."
She hated people who smoked the most. When she saw Chu Xuan, a non-smoker, going to pick up a cigarette, she subconsciously couldn't bear it.
"The elders smoke, and the younger ones have to catch them regardless of whether they smoke or not." Chu Xuan said helplessly.
Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment, then stroked her hair and said, "Then you can take it."
Chu Xuan took a cigarette, while the uncle and Ankang couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths slightly when they saw the exchange between the two.
The uncle took out another cigarette from the cigarette case, keeping two cigarettes in his hand. After handing Ankang a cigarette, he put the last cigarette in his mouth, sipped it, and put his hand in his purse.
Get a lighter inside.
"Are you so afraid of her?" Ankang held a cigarette between his index and middle fingers and turned to look at Chu Xuan.
"It's not fear, it's respect." Chu Xuan replied. Without paying attention, Liu Yifei quickly snatched the cigarette in his hand, broke it off, broke it off again, and threw it into the trash can.
After hearing Chu Xuan's answer and seeing his daughter's movements, Ankang smiled and said nothing.
With a "pop" sound, the uncle lit the cigarette with a lighter. Seeing Liu Yifei's actions, he shook his head without saying anything and handed the lighter to Ankang.
Ankang took the lighter. He knew that his daughter didn't like the smell of smoke, so he didn't light it immediately.
"Is the company developing well?"
Without drinking, the topics between men and women will always be as separated by a galaxy. Silence is golden on one side, and they can chatter endlessly on the other.
Not knowing what to talk about, Ankang asked casually.
"Not bad." Chu Xuan nodded.
"I heard that Han Sanping is a shareholder of your company?" The uncle smoked the pipe.
"Yes." Chu Xuan replied.
"Han Sanping is now the vice chairman of China Film Group, and he is likely to be the chairman in the next two years. China Film Group is backed by the National Court, and the direction of film and television culture represents the will of the country in this regard. I would like to get in touch with Han Sanping more.
, which is beneficial to your company." The uncle said happily.
Chu Xuan was startled. Han Sanping will be the chairman of Huaying in two years? How did you know? This uncle is a bit awesome.
"Sissi and I are preparing a micro-film project. If it succeeds, General Manager Han will use our company as a test to guide us along the path of film and television industrialization. In this regard, our goals are consistent with General Manager Han's," he said.
The uncle nodded and said no more. He was not in the cultural industry. He just mentioned the news to Chu Xuan. After all, Chu Xuan was brought to the door by his niece, so he was considered half of his own for the time being.
In this way, everyone started to simply communicate around entertainment and cultural elements as a topic brought up by Ankang.
Yesterday, at my grandma's house, we talked about relationships as soon as we got to the table. In this family, career is the first thing we talk about. There is a difference in the first focus of the woman and the man.
