As soon as the Lantern Festival arrived, everyone was busy making dumplings and glutinous rice balls.
Although we are a family, the customs of the north and the south are very different. Some people are used to eating dumplings, while others like to eat sweet glutinous rice balls.
Every year during the Lantern Festival, Cheng Tianyuan makes dumplings and glutinous rice balls, and this year is no exception.
He got up early in the morning to work, and even held Xue Ling's hand.
Xue Ling originally wanted to stay in bed for a while, but after being yelled at by him twice, she felt too embarrassed to be lazy and waited for food, so she could only follow behind and do something.
The eldest brother has a day off today, the second child's company has not started work yet, the third and fourth children have not started school yet, so they are all sleeping in.
The three old people got up early and did not dare to go anywhere. They stayed in the living room and took a walk to keep warm.
Lao Li mixed leeks and pork in the big kitchen, made some mung bean stuffing, sesame stuffing, and a little lotus seed stuffing, and brought them out one by one.
Cheng Tianyuan kneaded the dough and said with a smile: "In recent years, with Lao Li's help, I can make a lot of dumplings and glutinous rice balls in less than an hour. Not only is there enough for myself, but I can also give it to Ahu and the others."
"By the way, little Xiaohu was discharged from the hospital yesterday and went home." Xue Ling warned: "He can't eat randomly yet. Ah Qing said not to take today's glutinous rice balls and dumplings, lest the kid sees the fuss and wants to eat."
The weather was too cold for a while, and the little tiger was very naughty. He sneaked out and played in the snow for a while. After he was caught back in the house, he caught a cold.
At first I thought it was just a cold, but unexpectedly I started having diarrhea that afternoon. Shan You was so frightened that he hurriedly found the little guy and sent him to the hospital.
The little guy stayed in the hospital for two days and was not able to go home until yesterday.
Cheng Tianyuan already had a way to deal with it, and said: "The child's spleen and stomach are weak, so we really need to pay more attention. It's okay. When I finish cooking, I will call Ahu and Wang Qing to come over to eat. Xiaohuzi should have a holiday, most likely
I’ll also sneak over here to eat.”
"Okay." Xue Ling yawned and pinched her dough: "Anyway, I've prepared so much, and it might be wasted if I don't eat it."
At this moment, a figure as tall as a pine slipped in.
"Dad, Mom, good morning!"
Cheng Tianyuan was slightly surprised and asked: "Lao San, why are you so early today? And you are dressed so formally?"
"Hey!" Cheng Huanchong explained: "I have to sign a contract at nine o'clock this morning. The editor-in-chief told me to arrive early. He also said that there are news media who want to interview. It will take at least half an hour on the road. I plan to leave early."
Xue Ling asked curiously: "Who is going with you? Or Lawyer He's assistant?"
"Yes." Cheng Huanchong replied: "In order to ensure that there is no problem with the contract, we still have to bring professionals."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded in approval: "Yes, bring something more appropriate. Third brother, it's quite cold outside. Let Old Chen take you there."
"No need?" Cheng Huanchong said with a pinched face and said with a smile: "I can just use the taxi-hailing software. Anyway, the company has cars there, so there is no need to make it too public."
Xue Ling said: "Okay, whatever you want."
Cheng Huanchong ate breakfast quickly and hurried out.
I was going out happily, but when I came back, I had a dark face, a peaked cap, and a big mask.
Lantern Festival is a traditional festival, and everyone gathers in the big kitchen for dinner.
Chen Xinzhi happened to be in the courtyard and came over for a feast.
Cheng Huanchong came back fully armed, amusing his brothers and sister who were waiting for him!
"Hey! Third child, what are you doing?!" Xue Yang teased: "Didn't I say there are still media interviews today? Why are you dressing up like a paparazzi? Are you infected by a reporter friend?"
Cheng Huanchong threw away his hat, pulled off his mask, and collapsed on the sofa in depression.
"Don't mention it! It's so annoying!"
Xue Xin was watching videos in Chen Xinzhi's arms. When she heard his words, her mind was filled with gossip.
"Third brother, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were going to sign a contract? Which media interviewed you? When will it be broadcast? Did you look too ugly in the photo?"
Cheng Huanchong rolled his eyes and kicked her away with his long legs.
"You didn't see that I was upset! Go, go, go!"
Xue Xin pouted aggrievedly and hummed: "Be careful I ignore you!"
"I don't want it!" Cheng Huanchong grabbed the pillow and threw it at her, "Get out of here!"
Xue Xin threw away the pillow and shouted loudly: "Everyone, come and see! Third brother is so angry! Where are the media reporters? Everyone, please take pictures and expose them! Come on! The comic master is going crazy at home! It will be published tomorrow.
Hot search!”
Everyone laughed.
Cheng Huanran saw that his third brother seemed angry, so he poured half a cup of warm water and handed it to him.
"What's wrong? The signing didn't go smoothly?"
Cheng Huanchong had to give his eldest brother face and thanked him.
"...No, the signing went smoothly. It's just that someone secretly photographed me and posted it on the company's Weibo and several fan groups."
"Isn't it?!" Xue Yang asked with a surprised smile: "Is the photo taken from the front? Or from the side? Oops! Our great master finally couldn't hide it anymore, and his beautiful face was accidentally exposed!"
"Shut up!" Cheng Huanchong also threw him a pillow.
Xue Yang hugged her accurately and put it on his waist to lean against him comfortably.
"Thank you! You can have one more, it's not enough!"
Wang Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said angrily: "Okay, just say a few words less. Third child, is everything okay? Did you ask that person to delete the photo and apologize?"
Cheng Huanchong did not dare not to give face to his second sister-in-law, so he had no choice but to explain: "Nowadays, the speed of circulation on the Internet is very fast. If you forward it all at once, it is already out of control! It is too late to delete it now, it is useless."
Chen Xin is worthy of being a big shot at the level of a boss, and he can cut to the chase when he asks questions.
"Who took the secret photos? Since they were at the signing site, they were probably from the partner. Has your leader negotiated with the other party? Didn't the contract indicate that your real information or pictures cannot be leaked?"
Cheng Huanchong sighed helplessly: "The other party said they didn't know, because there were more than 20 people present, and they couldn't find out who it was at the moment. The contract was just a stipulation for buying the copyright of my comic, and it had nothing to do with my personal privacy."
"That's not possible!" Xue Yang glared: "They don't know even if they don't know? Why are you so easy to get rid of? Can't find out who it is? How is it possible? There must be surveillance at the scene. If you check, you won't know? Once you hear it, you won't know.
You just know they are perfunctory with you!"
Cheng Huanran nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can't let them dismiss it without knowing anything. Where are your editors? Where are the leaders of your company? Even if you don't come forward, you have to let them stand up for you."
"They -" Cheng Huanchong was extremely angry and loudly said: "I'm almost pissed off by them if I don't say they're okay! They said they might take the opportunity to hype up my reputation, which might have an explosive publicity effect!
He also said that if I bring my own huge traffic, I won’t have to worry about the outlet of my works in the future, and I can even save a lot of money on advertising fees!”
"This - it's so outrageous!" Xue Yang shouted angrily: "As soon as I opened my mouth, I knew it was a disgusting act of capital!"
