When Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyun were shopping for New Year goods hand in hand, almost every store was playing this song, Zhuo Yiting's version, Andy Lau's version, Teresa Teng's version...
So much so that Yoona couldn't help but hum along: "Oppa, this song is very poisonous. I seem to have some impression of it. I heard it often when I was at home last year."
Su Yan nodded: "Actually, this was not originally a song to celebrate the New Year."
"Oh!" Yoona looked eager to learn.
"This is a work composed by Mr. Chen Gexin after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945. It represents the beautiful vision of the people at that time looking forward to a new life. Later, many singers gradually covered it, and it became what it is today."
"Oppa, you know a lot."
In fact, Su Yan also suddenly remembered that this knowledge was mentioned by the class teacher accidentally in high school, and it has been buried in his mind until today, when his wife asked about it.
Chichi and the others had gone back yesterday. After discussing for a while, they decided to drive home. The main reason was naturally the two dogs.
The old man next door was sorry. After all, it was the Chinese New Year in the pet paradise. To be honest, the two of them were a little worried. Fortunately, Yoona usually drove these two animals when traveling, and they were used to riding in the car, and they liked it quite a lot.
If it were Erha, Su Yan would never dare to let them stay in the car for a long time without wearing masks and diapers. However, during the nearly nine-hour journey, the Border Collie would only purr a few times when it was convenient.
The rest of the time, he just lay there obediently.
Moreover, I don’t know whether I should say that they are smart or that they look at their master’s face. Not to mention the affection they showed when they met Su Yan’s parents. They waggled their tails and pounced on the two old men.
Mother Su felt a little emotional. Could it be that she still remembered raising and holding them when she was a child?
The arrangement this year is still the same. I will stay at home until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and then fly to South Korea to stay for a few days. Yoona has already booked the air tickets in advance, which perfectly solves the problem of who to go to for the New Year.
Fan Qifeng didn't come back. He had a girlfriend who worked at Qinghe's company downstairs. I don't know how he hooked up with him because he was usually so busy, and the progress was so fast. This time he was going to visit his parents. Su Yan was shocked when he got the call.
Stayed.
After telling my parents and daughter-in-law, they were all happy.
When a family of four sat in front of the TV and watched the Minjiang Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, they were filled with emotion. Thinking about this time last year, they were all sitting in Rongcheng.
Jiang Shan naturally extended an invitation and asked if he wanted to come.
According to what Lao Su said, it was just a party, and it was enough to just watch the fresh pictures once. It was tiring to go back and forth, so it was better to stay at home. Su Yan followed his father's wishes and declined the other party politely.
But for the live broadcast, I definitely want to watch it. After all, I also want to know how the director who took over his mantle will perform.
The venue was still the same, but only Su Yan could recognize it. When the decorative lighting was changed, my mother was still there saying that Minjiang TV was really rich, and it only took one year to invest so much.
Su Yan naturally wouldn't explain it. It didn't matter what his parents thought, they were just trying to be happy.
However, the evaluation sounds a bit like a mentor in a variety show.
"Hey, this dance is not very exciting. It's so colorful that my eyes are dazzled."
"The cross talk is pretty good, and the baggage shakes are pretty good."
"Isn't this so and so? She's not an actress, so why is she singing?"
"The skit is too boring."
"Hey! Isn't this the magician from last year? I still haven't figured out what happened. He's here again this year."
"It's boring. Look, your dad and I went to sleep."
It's no wonder that the second brother found it boring. The three and a half hours of the program was basically nothing new and quite satisfactory. Even Yoona fell asleep lying on his lap and the two dogs lay at their feet, but they were watching it very seriously.
I yawned, turned off the TV, and carried my daughter-in-law into the room with a princess hug.
Yoona actually woke up when she hugged her, but she was too sleepy and didn't want to talk. After feeling Su Yan also lie down, she found a comfortable position in his arms.
Turn off the lights and go to sleep.
The advantage of being on vacation is that you can sleep until you wake up naturally, and it doesn't matter if your phone is muted.
Lao Su was used to the children sleeping until midnight. They were much more tired than his wife. Moreover, after they came back, they stayed at home with their parents and rarely went out. So there was no need to complain.
The children of Lao Lin's family next door often send money to each other because they work in other provinces, but they haven't seen each other in two years.
Moreover, Su Yan had offered to live in Shanghai more than once. He wanted to spend time with his mother, so he refused.
The small shop downstairs is closed, and the things the neighbors need to buy have been prepared. Familiar customers will call directly if they need it.
It was almost ten o'clock. Su's father closed the newspaper, returned to the living room from the balcony, and saw his son opening the door and walking out.
"Get up, breakfast is gone, why don't you eat some fruit to cushion your stomach, and we'll have lunch soon."
"It's okay. I'm not hungry. Where is my mother?" Su Yan looked around and saw no one.
"Oh." Lao Su walked into the kitchen: "Lao Zhu's family next door is celebrating their 70th birthday and sent an invitation to our family. She should go over early and help out."
"Why didn't you come with us?" Su Yan poured himself a glass of water and drank it in one go. This had been his habit for many years.
Dad poked his head out of the kitchen: "I'm going, what will you two do?"
Su Yan was helpless: "We are not children anymore, we can still starve to death. We always cook by ourselves in the magic city."
"No matter how old you are, you are still my son. I take care of my son. That's not what I should do."
"Okay, as long as you're happy, I'll help you after I wash up."
"OK."
"By the way, I have already fed Pepsi and Qixi, and also took them for a walk in the park this morning."
Looking at the dogs wagging their tails around Su Yan, Lao Su reminded.
"I know."
Yoona had woken up long ago, but it was cold and she was staying in bed. Su Yan got her a glass of water and went into the bathroom.
"Oppa, your phone rang just now. It was Mr. Wang." Yoona was leaning on the bed, wearing cute panda pattern pajamas.
"Well, I understand. Mom won't be here at noon today, so it's just the three of us eating."
"Do you want me to get up and help?"
"It's okay, you can continue watching the show."
After washing up, Su Yan walked to the bedside and picked up the phone, which he had missed several times.
"Are you hungry? Why don't I get you some milk first?"
Yoona was holding water, sipping it in small sips, her eyes still staring at the pad: "I'm not hungry, Oppa, go and do your work, don't disturb me watching TV series."
After saying that, his hands were still there to drive him away, thinking he was annoying.
Su Yan reluctantly walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
"Director Su, happy New Year!"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Wang, happy New Year, are you at home?" Su Yan came to the balcony. It was a rare good day. There were clothes hanging outside. My mother should have washed them in the morning. You must know that it was raining lightly the past two days.
"Well, I just came back from shopping with my wife. You...you know, right?"
"I know what I know?" Su Yan was a little surprised.
"You didn't just get up, did you?"
"Congratulations, you got the answer right."
"Okay." Lao Wang was slightly envious: "The ratings for the Minjiang Spring Festival Gala are out."
"oh?"
"1.173%, there is still a big gap between it and yours. Online reviews say that the Spring Festival Gala has no distinctive features. It ranks third among the five satellite TV stations that have broadcast it."
"Well, I also watched it last night, and the evaluation was very fair. Bai Yunlong actually became the focus of the audience, which was a bit putting the cart before the horse."
"Who says it isn't, but the magic is indeed innovative and interesting to watch, but the rest is..."
To be honest, Su Yan felt a little proud, but he couldn't show it, so he could only feel happy secretly. Although this was a bit unkind, there was nothing he could do about it. He was not a saint, and he was not that great.
"Did Director Jiang say anything?"
"It's not very clear, and it's not easy to ask, but I'm sure I won't be in a good mood. I was the leader last year, but this year I'm in the rear."
"It's broken, it's pretty good."
"No, this can break one. It is probably because the performance of the first show was so good. Many people left with hope, but in the end they all switched channels. The highest ratings occurred in the first fifteen minutes. Others did not dare to
"Your ability as a director has been proven once again." Lao Wang did not forget to raise his hand.
"Okay, that's all. I have to help with the cooking."
"Okay, give it to my uncle and aunt for me, and say hello to Yoona."
Su Yan spent a few more minutes to pick him up, basically talking about this matter.
Back in the kitchen, dad was washing the pots.
"Is there anything you need me to do?" he asked, rolling up his sleeves.
"Your mother has already prepared it in the refrigerator. Just take it out and then go wash the rice."
"Okay." Su Yan agreed and started to take action.
"Do you have any business during the Chinese New Year?" Dad asked casually.
"It's not official business. The person in charge of the company just chatted for a few words. It's the Chinese New Year and we want to greet each other."
"Oh, by the way." Lao Su said, without stopping, he skillfully lit a fire and started to heat the pot: "A few days ago, we received a lot of annual goods, all of which are specialties from Magic City, Rongcheng, and Anhui.
It was sent from Bei, Yanjing, Nanyun, and several places."
"Is it just a new year's gift?" Su Yan was a little surprised.
"Well, they are all mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, and roast duck. I originally wanted to talk to you about it, but I pretended that you were not in Thailand. Think about it, you came back within a few days, and the things were not moved. They were left in the room.
There are several boxes. I'll go take a look at them later. If I can't collect them, I'll return them to him. Anyway, there is no shortage at home." Lao Su is very concerned about his son's reputation now. What happened some time ago still left him with lingering fears. Don't worry about it anymore.
What an accident happened.
However, he forgot that Su Yan was not an important member of the system and did not have these problems.
"Well, I'll take you to take a look, but if it's a specialty, it doesn't matter. Just keep it. If you two can't finish it, give some to grandma, aunt, and the others."
"OK!"
Father and son worked together, and soon three dishes and one soup were ready.
After Su Yan put the dishes and chopsticks in place, Yoona opened the door.
"It smells so good! No need to ask, it must be dad's handiwork."
This little flattery made Lao Su very happy: "Hurry and wash your hands, let's eat."
"Okay!"
"Uh-huh, these fried pork slices with chili are so fragrant, and the duck is so delicious. When will I be able to be as good as you, dad?"
During the meal, Lao Su's smile never stopped, and Su Yan was speechless. No wonder Lin Xiaoyun has always been loved by the elders. This little mouth has a sweet mouth, which is amazing.
