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 and went home yesterday."
Xue Ling warned: "He can't eat randomly yet. Ah Qing said don't 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, saying: "Children have a weak spleen and stomach, so they really need to pay more attention.
It's okay. When I finish cooking, I will call Ahu and Wang Qing to come over and eat.
Little Huzi should have a day off, so he would probably sneak over here to eat."
"Fine."
Xue Ling yawned and pinched her face: "Anyway, I have 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 is it so early today?
Are you dressed so formally?"
"hey-hey!"
Cheng Huanchong explained: "The contract was to be signed at nine o'clock this morning, and the editor-in-chief told me to arrive early. He also said that there were news media who wanted to interview me.
The journey will take at least half an hour, and I plan to leave early."
Xue Ling asked curiously: "Who will go with you?
Are you still Lawyer He’s assistant?”
"right."
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 it properly.
Third child, it’s quite cold outside, let Old Chen take you there.”
"no need?"
Cheng Huanchong pinched his face and said with a smile: "I can just use the taxi-hailing software.
Anyway, the company has a car there, so there’s 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 sisters who were waiting for him! “Hey! Third brother, what are you doing?
!”
Xue Yang joked: "Didn't I say there will be media interviews today?
Why are you dressing up like a paparazzi?
Infected by a journalist 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 the photo of you look too ugly?"
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!"
"What I wish for!"
Cheng Huanchong grabbed the pillow and threw it at her, "Get out of here!"
Xue Xin threw away the pillow and shouted: "Everyone, come and see! Third brother is so angry! Where are the media reporters?
Everyone, please take a picture of it and expose it! Hurry! A certain comic master is going crazy at home! It will definitely be on the hot search tomorrow!"
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?
Didn’t the signing 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 smiled in surprise and asked: "Is the picture taken from the front?
Or the side?
Ouch! Our great master finally can’t hide it any more, and his beautiful face has been 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 less.
Third child, is that 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 at all."
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 secretly photographed it?
Since they can be present at the signing site, they are probably from the partners.
Has your leader negotiated with the other party?
Isn’t it stated in the contract that your real information or pictures cannot be revealed?”
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 is just a stipulation for buying the copyright of my comic, it has nothing to do with my personal privacy."
"That's not okay!"
Xue Yang glared and said, "They don't know even if they say they don't know?
Why are you so easy to dismiss?
Can't find who it is?
How can it be?
There must be surveillance at the scene, wouldn't we know if we check?
As soon as you hear it, you will know that they are perfunctory with you!"
Cheng Huanran nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can't let them just dismiss it without knowing anything.
What about your editor?
What about the leaders of your company?
Even if you don’t come forward, you still have to let them stand up for you.”
"They -" Cheng Huanchong was extremely angry and loudly said: "If I don't say they are okay, I am almost pissed off by them! 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 outrageous!"
Xue Yang fumed: "As soon as I opened my mouth, I knew it was a disgusting act of capital!"
