Although she knew that the new year was approaching, Rong Jing only felt it clearly after she got out of the crew.
Most of the shops on the street are hung with red lanterns or banners. When the dry and cold wind blows, the lanterns and banners sway gently.
There are also a lot more people on the road. I don't know if they are out to buy new year's goods or simply strolling. When passing by, I can only see joyful smiles on everyone's faces.
Vigorous vitality burst out from them, forming an invisible aura, which shone brightly under the sunlight.
Yue Feng sat in the front row of the car and secretly glanced back from the rearview mirror.
He seemed to have never seen such a look on the face of Rong Tianshi.
It's not pure indifference, nor is it a peaceful alienation, but a trace of nostalgia and exclamation that I don't know what to say.
It's like recalling the long past through the current picture, and the whole portrait is vaguely covered with a layer of distant mist, which seems to be close but actually far away.
As soon as this idea came to mind, Yue Feng was startled and quickly looked back.
After smoothly sending Rong Jing back to the community, Yue Feng followed the driver back to Xie's old house, after thinking about it, he still told Xie Xuanqing what he saw just now.
"Well, I see." Xie Xuanqing was only silent for a moment, and then replied in a deep voice.
Yue Feng didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this to Xie Xuanqing, probably because of Rong Tianshi's expression at that time...it was so emotional.
Sighing lightly, Yue Feng handed the documents in Xie Xuanqing's hands, and Xie Xuanqing raised his hand: "Thank you for your hard work. The company is on holiday during this time, so you should go back and rest."
paused.He added: "Paid."
Paid time off, yes!
As soon as Xie Xuanqing's voice fell, Yue Feng's inexplicable emotion just now was immediately forgotten by him.After a quick reply, he turned around decisively and went back.
It's time to go back and reunite with your family!
As soon as Yue Feng left, the empty old house immediately became quiet.Xie Xuan lightly sat on the sofa and lowered his head to flip through the documents Yue Feng brought over, then he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Looking at Rong Jing's information before, it seems that he came to the imperial capital alone, and after saving a little money, he bought that house in the imperial capital. It seems that he has not seen any relatives or friends in the past few years.
Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the crew is on vacation, after Rong Jing returns, she should be alone, right?
Xie Xuanqing thought about it, and suddenly smiled again.
He holds the huge Xie family in his hand, but in the final analysis, isn't he the only one now.
Rong Jing's ups and downs were only for a moment.
After Yue Feng left, Rong Jing's mood returned to the usual old well.Pulling the suitcase back to the house that had been vacant for more than half a month, after tidying it up casually, Rong Jing opened the refrigerator and took a look, then went out with her mobile phone.
The rest of the rice and noodles are almost finished, and the vegetables, fruits and meat also need to be replenished.Rong Guoshi also lived a difficult life, so he is not unfamiliar with these things.
...but not very familiar either.
Rong Jing hesitantly followed the original owner's memory and walked to the entrance of the market, only to see that the crowded market was even more crowded at this time, with loud and quiet yelling one after another, full of human fireworks.
"Young man, do you want some choy sum?" Seeing that Rong Jing seemed a little hesitant at the entrance of the market, and didn't mind his cold look, he warmly picked up a handful of green choy sum and greeted him with a smile.
Vegetarian stir-fried cabbage heart is not a difficult dish for Rong Tianshi. After thinking about it for a few seconds, Rong Jing nodded calmly, and went up to get a handful.
The old man didn't expect this handsome young man to be so straightforward, so he was surprised, weighed the handful of choy sum for him, thought about it, and gave him half a head of garlic.
"Before you make it, pop the garlic and stir-fry together, the taste is so authentic!"
The old man who sells vegetables looks like a talkative person, and he is not at home waiting for his family reunion to sell vegetables for entertainment.
After weighing the vegetables for Rong Jing, he pointed to the stall of the aunt who sold dry goods next to him: "You can't eat green vegetables after the Chinese New Year. The things in her house are very good. If you are interested, you might as well buy some and go back to make soup." .”
Saying this, he lowered his voice again, as if speaking to Rong Jing, but also as if talking to himself: "She is also a poor person."
When Rong Jing heard this, she followed his movements calmly.
There are indeed a lot of things on the dry goods stall, but it doesn't look messy. It can be seen that the stall owner is doing a good job.
At this moment, there were three or four people standing in front of the stall picking things out, and a middle-aged woman with gray hair was standing behind the stall, hurriedly picking up the things the customers had chosen, weighing, packing and collecting money in one go.
As if she heard the conversation between the old man and Rong Jing, the woman raised her head and smiled dryly at them.
Her appearance is actually not ugly, and she can even be called beautiful.It's just that the heavy pressure and painstaking efforts of life have added a lot of wrinkles to her face, like ravines on a mountain, destroying the most primitive beauty.
Rong Jing's eyes lightly swept across her face.
The eyebrows are scattered, the corners of the eyes are drooped, and the lip color is dark.
This is a woman who has lived a miserable life.The parents are unloving and the husband is unfaithful, and the children's palace is full but bleak, which shows that although she is destined to have a son, he died young, and the fate between mother and child is superficial.
As for her seal... Rong Jing frowned slightly.
The slight bad luck came from no one knows where it came from, and a layer of emptiness enveloped between her brows, making her already old face even more distressed.
If this bad luck is allowed to follow this woman, within a month, the woman will be seriously ill.
It was rare for him to come to the market today, and he just happened to buy choy sum at the old man's stall, so it was a bit of fate to know the woman's stall by accident.
Rong Jing saw that there was a hint of disapproval in her distressed face, after thinking about it, she still took the packed choy sum in her hand, and then walked towards the dry goods stall.
"Brother, what do you want?" The woman had just finished packing the things chosen by the previous customer, when she saw that Rong Jing really came over, she hurriedly greeted with a smile again.
Her palms have also become blunt and dry due to long hours of busy work, and there are plasters on her fingertips that were used when the wounds were cracked. Putting them together with Rong Jing's extremely slender and beautiful hands, the contrast is particularly strong at first glance .
Silently withdrew her hand, the woman seemed to have remembered something, her expression was in a trance for a moment, and she quickly came back to her senses.
"Want to buy some scallops? This New Year's Eve is just right for stewing chicken..." I don't know if it's because the young man's temperament is too expensive, or because the other person's expression is too alienated, and the woman's expression is a little cramped.
"Yeah." Rong Jing didn't care about these, and responded lightly, "Let me see."
Taking a bag, Rong Jing took a look at the dry goods on the stall, and they were all really good in quality and moderate in price.
"Oh, don't worry about buying her things. It's all right, there's nothing missing." The old man noticed the situation on their side and shouted familiarly.
The woman gave a "puchi" laugh, and then saw that Rong Jing not only picked up half a bag of scallops, but also some dried abalone and shiitake mushrooms, and hurriedly said: "You don't need to buy so many of these things, put a little in the soup That's good, you buy so much, you can't finish it."
Rong Jing: "..."
After a moment of silence, he lowered his eyes and handed over a few bags, and said calmly, "It's okay. I... bought it as a gift."
?
Are the habits of young people nowadays so strange?Come to the vegetable market to buy dry goods as a gift?
The woman was a little puzzled, but she still reached out and took the bags.
As the fingertips intertwined, with a thought in Rong Jing's mind, a soft and invisible spiritual power flowed from his fingers to the woman's body, sweeping away all the bad luck on her body in an instant.
The woman just intuitively cleared her mind, and in an instant, it seemed that even the wrinkles on her face had faded a lot, and her face looked much rosier.
Feeling a little strange, the woman kept moving her hands, neatly packed and weighed the things Rong Jing had picked, and handed them back.
Rong Jing reached out to take the things, and then passed the price over.Then he said casually: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so it's better to go home early."
"?" The woman didn't quite understand why this beautiful young man suddenly said this, she smiled, but somehow remembered this sentence in her heart, "Okay, thank you for reminding me."
Rong Jing shook her head calmly, then turned around with her things.
Going to buy some meat and fruit again, Rong Jing walked out of the vegetable market and met the old man selling vegetables on the road.
Vegetables are precious in winter now, the quality of his stall's vegetables is good, and the price is cheap, naturally they are sold out quickly.
The old man also recognized Rong Jing's particularly prominent face, looked at the direction he was going, and said, "You also belong to the neighborhood in front? No wonder I thought you looked familiar."
He is really familiar, Rong Jing has never been very good at dealing with such enthusiastic people, she was silent for a moment, and only nodded.
The old man: "You young man is quite cold-tempered..."
But he doesn't mind either.Probably because I have been busy with the New Year and no one listened to his chatter. On the way back to the community, the old man grabbed Rong Jing and talked to him all the way, and he talked about the woman just now.
"Young man, don't push you to go shopping because you think I have nothing to do with others. It's really difficult for Mrs. Zhang!"
The old man sighed.
"I knew her three years ago. At that time, she just moved here to sell dry goods. I only found out from others. She is only in her 40s this year, and she divorced her husband a few years ago... Her husband really She is not a human being, and beat her half to death every day like a human being, and I heard that when she got divorced, her whole body was almost healed."
Forget it, if you get divorced and start over in another place, your life will always get better.
pity……
"Ms. Zhang's ex-husband is unreliable, but the child is a good one. He worked hard to get into the police academy, and he single-handedly supported the divorce. The mother and son moved out, and life was about to change for the better, but the child was on a mission. The slander hurt my brain, and now I have become a vegetable lying on the hospital bed..."
Even with the compensation from the government, it is not easy to take care of a vegetative person, especially that Auntie Zhang's child not only hurt his brain, but also needs medical treatment in other places.
"In the past few years, I have watched her desperately earn money to treat her child's illness, but..."
The child's aura became weaker and weaker, and she saw that Mrs. Zhang was going to send a white-haired man to a black-haired one.
The old man sighed and was in no mood to chat anymore.Mrs. Zhang is stubborn and has been unwilling to accept their donations.So he sells vegetables there, and when he sees a customer, he recommends it by the way, which can be regarded as helping her.
"Oh, why am I talking about this with you young people." Touching the back of his head, the old man shook his head, then put his hands behind his back and prepared to go home.
Rong Jing didn't say much after hearing this.
Everyone in the world has a fixed number of fates, it is not impossible to change one's fate against the sky, and Rong Jing did not hesitate to remind Aunt Zhang to avoid the bloody disaster in the future.
But if she really wants to change her life, the cause and effect involved are too great. If there is no other chance and cause and effect, Rong Jing can't act rashly.
It's just that he made a random guess and calculated that Mrs. Zhang herself seemed to have some predestined relationship with him. Maybe in the future, she might have a chance to change her fate in her later years.
Putting the bought fruits, vegetables and meat into the refrigerator, Rong Jing looked at the pile of dry goods that she unknowingly took too much: "..."
The saying that he wanted to give it away was just an excuse he pulled out casually, Rong Jing glanced at the half chicken he bought back, and frowned slightly.
You can't boil half a catty of scallops and half a catty of abalone with half a chicken, right?
Rong Guoshi likes to eat umami, but not to this extent.
Sighing, Rong Jing still put those dry goods away for the time being.In order to prevent things from breaking, he also drew a little spiritual energy into it——
A super luxurious storage method for ordinary celestial masters.
After finishing these, the sky is almost dark.
Beijing, as the capital of China, has always been the number one city in China in terms of economic development.Even though it is almost the New Year, the lights outside are still bustling. From a distance, it looks like a colorful picture scroll.
It was a scene that Rong Guoshi had never seen before, and it was also a scene that he had expected.
Speaking of which, before he helped Xie Chong ascend the throne, he also went to a folk New Year temple fair together.
At that time, Dazhao had not yet been established, and the market was in depression.
A few women, elderly, sick and weak squatted in front of their homes, burning paper clothes silently and numbly.
Rong Jing wanted to change this situation at that time, but fortunately he did it.
Today, the world has become much better than it used to be.
Slightly stunned for a moment, Rong Jing came back to her senses, turned around and picked up the vegetables and meat that she had shared out and went to the kitchen.
Probably because the taste of the year is getting stronger, he has also become a little fond of recalling the past.
After making two random dishes, Rong Jing ate dinner, washed up again, and read the script again.
On New Year's Eve, the number of people on the street increased.
Rong Jing bought a lot of things the day before and came back, so she didn't need to go out to squeeze at this time, she just took out the vegetables and meat that she bought in advance from the refrigerator and fried them, and then processed the chicken and some dry goods that she bought. , Put it in a crock pot and boil it over a slow fire.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk."
There was a knock on the door, Rong Jing turned around and opened it.
Grandma Li and Xiaohui were standing in front of his house in new clothes. When they saw him coming to open the door, they smiled: "I'm afraid that your business will not have holidays during the New Year... Here are the rice cakes I made and a bowl of them." Tamale, you can take it home and eat it. I reckon you didn’t cook anything at home alone during the Chinese New Year.”
The rice cake seems to have just come out of the pan, and it looks fluffy and sweet when it is hot; the steamed pork is also a very delicate bowl, which seems to be specially made separately, served on a blue and white porcelain plate, the portion is neither too much nor too little.
Rong Jing frowned slightly, with a hesitant expression.
However, Grandma Li forcefully stuffed the rice cakes and steamed pork into his hands. The smile on her face became more genuine when she saw that he had taken them obediently. Follow Xiaohui back.
Rong Jing held a bowl of rice cakes and a bowl of tamales and watched their figures disappear behind the door before turning back to go home.
Adding the two dishes he had prepared before and the chicken soup that was being boiled, put them on the dining table to watch, and it would be considered a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
It was approaching twelve o'clock at midnight, and bright fireworks had already been lit outside in advance.
Rong Jing got up to turn on the TV, the news rang, and the empty living room suddenly became lively.
Going to the kitchen to fill a bowl of soup, Rong Jing ate quietly, and then heard the TV host count down in an impassioned voice, and finally burst out a joyous "Happy New Year!".
At the same time, his mobile phone also received a lot of New Year's greeting messages, some from Wang Borui, and some from Mu Yunzhou, Ji Wan, and Ji Yucheng.
Rong Jing glanced at it, then put down her chopsticks and replied one by one
The chicken soup with scallops and abalone is unbelievably delicious. Even if Rong Jing's cooking skills are not very good, it tastes good enough.
It's just that he still simmered a little too much, most of the untouched fresh chicken soup was left in the crock pot, Rong Jing turned on a small fire and continued to warm it.
The fireworks outside were set off more intensively after the countdown was over. Firecrackers were not allowed in the community, but caring residents also came up with a lot of ways. There were many recordings of crackling firecrackers, which also set off a lot of New Year's atmosphere.
Rong Jing quietly watched the movement outside.After a while, the phone rang again, but someone called him.
"Rong Jing, Happy New Year." Rong Jing looked at the name displayed on the screen and paused for a second before picking it up.Xie Xuanqing's deep and deep voice rang in his ears. I don't know if it was because of the sound quality of the phone, but it sounded slightly hoarse.
"But it seems that I still haven't had time to catch up." Xie Xuanqing was wearing only a thin shirt, leaning against the huge French window at this time, and said with a smile.
"...Happy New Year to you too." Two seconds later, Rong Jing's iconic cool and pleasant voice came from the phone, and Xie Xuanqing's smile deepened, and all the unhappiness at the New Year's Eve dinner tonight was gone go.
Hearing that there seemed to be a TV on Rong Jing's side, Xie Xuanqing saw the picture of Rong Jing sitting alone in the living room watching the news of the family reunion in Xie Xuanqing's mind, and his heart was slightly suffocated.
Raising his eyes, Xie Xuan changed the subject lightly: "Rong Jing, did you guys take five days off?"
Sometimes he would respectfully call him "Mr. Rong", and sometimes he would call him "Rong Jing".
A voice that was eight or nine points similar came slowly, and Rong Jing was stunned for a moment, before replying lightly: "Yes."
"Is that so..." Xie Xuan lightly raised his head to look at the dark sky outside,
The butler had already led the servants out to set off fireworks, and countless complicated and beautiful patterns rose and disappeared in the air.
Xie Xuanqing suddenly asked: "Are the fireworks on Mr. Rong's side nice?"
Rong Jing subconsciously turned her head to look at the sky outside, "Well, it looks good."
"My side is also very nice." Xie Xuan said with a slight smile, looked outside and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and hung up the phone.
A busy tone of "beep - beep -" came from her ear, Rong Jing put down her phone and took a look, but received a WeChat message from Xie Xuanqing.
I clicked in and took a look, and there were a few photos of night scenes.
The gorgeous fireworks bloom in the dark night sky, even if there is no bright moon, the beauty is not diminished in the slightest.
Rong Jing's fingertips slid down slowly, all the way to the bottom, only to see that Xie Xuanqing sent him a few red envelopes.
Rong Jing:?
Xie Xuanqing: A New Year’s red envelope for Mr. ^_^
Wechat can only send two hundred red envelopes, Xie Xuanqing sent a total of ten, and the total is only two thousand, which is not a lot of money.
But Rong Jing didn't take it.
He stared at the screen for a while, then clicked on the function column next to him to find the function he wanted.
Then a minute later, Xie Xuanjian saw that not only did Rong Jing not receive the red envelopes he sent, but she sent him a few in turn.
"..." Pursing his lower lip, Xie Xuan lightly moved his fingertips, and took those red envelopes.
Xie Xuanqing: Thank you sir for the lucky money
Xie Xuanqing: [Cat Cat Bouquet.jpg]
This time it was Rong Jing's turn to "...".
But it seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that it is New Year's money. Considering his age in the previous life, he is probably still older than the current Xie Xuanqing?
But something still feels wrong.
Frowning, Rong Jing tapped the screen a few times, and then replied Xie Xuanqing with a "hmm".
It just seems a bit forced.
Xie Xuan looked at the concise reply, a smile flashed in his eyes.
After chatting for a while, although most of Rong Jing's replies were very brief, inexplicably, Xie Xuanqing didn't think it was perfunctory.
Xie Xuanqing: By the way, sir, the "Tianshi Lu" you filmed before will start broadcasting in a few days, it should be after the New Year's Eve
At the beginning of the year, most families have their own activities, either going out to visit relatives and friends, or going out on a date to go shopping. On the contrary, the ratings of popular TV series will not be as good as usual holidays.
But when the days of the first and second days of junior high school have passed, and most of the holidays have not yet ended, when it starts broadcasting at this time, it should have a good ratings on the first day.
"Tianshilu" also has a part of Xie's investment. When it was submitted for review, Xie Xuanqing heard a sentence from the people below. Now that the review is over and the promotion is started, it will be ready to start broadcasting.
During this time, Rong Jing was either busy with the special department or filming in the crew, but she didn't receive the news as fast as Xie Xuanqing.
The obsession in my mind began to float when I saw the words sent by Xie Xuanqing, it seemed to be excited, and it seemed to be nostalgic.
Then sank gently again.
Rong Jing could feel that this obsession seemed to have weakened a little after seeing the news.
Staring at the screen thoughtfully for a few seconds, Rong Jing replied.
Rong Jing: Good.
Xie Xuanqing: "..."
With a helpless smile, Xie Xuan said lightly.
Xie Xuanqing: I will watch carefully
Xie Xuanqing: [Cat Cat Bouquet.jpg]
Rong Guoshi stared at his previous sentence, and slowly blinked his eyes.
Most of the shops on the street are hung with red lanterns or banners. When the dry and cold wind blows, the lanterns and banners sway gently.
There are also a lot more people on the road. I don't know if they are out to buy new year's goods or simply strolling. When passing by, I can only see joyful smiles on everyone's faces.

As soon as this idea came to mind, Yue Feng was startled and quickly looked back.
After smoothly sending Rong Jing back to the community, Yue Feng followed the driver back to Xie's old house, after thinking about it, he still told Xie Xuanqing what he saw just now.
"Well, I see." Xie Xuanqing was only silent for a moment, and then replied in a deep voice.
Yue Feng didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this to Xie Xuanqing, probably because of Rong Tianshi's expression at that time...it was so emotional.
Sighing lightly, Yue Feng handed the documents in Xie Xuanqing's hands, and Xie Xuanqing raised his hand: "Thank you for your hard work. The company is on holiday during this time, so you should go back and rest."
paused.He added: "Paid."
Paid time off, yes!
As soon as Xie Xuanqing's voice fell, Yue Feng's inexplicable emotion just now was immediately forgotten by him.After a quick reply, he turned around decisively and went back.
It's time to go back and reunite with your family!
As soon as Yue Feng left, the empty old house immediately became quiet.Xie Xuan lightly sat on the sofa and lowered his head to flip through the documents Yue Feng brought over, then he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the crew is on vacation, after Rong Jing returns, she should be alone, right?
Xie Xuanqing thought about it, and suddenly smiled again.
He holds the huge Xie family in his hand, but in the final analysis, isn't he the only one now.
Rong Jing's ups and downs were only for a moment.
After Yue Feng left, Rong Jing's mood returned to the usual old well.Pulling the suitcase back to the house that had been vacant for more than half a month, after tidying it up casually, Rong Jing opened the refrigerator and took a look, then went out with her mobile phone.

Rong Jing: "..."
After a moment of silence, he lowered his eyes and handed over a few bags, and said calmly, "It's okay. I... bought it as a gift."

The mother and son moved out, and life was about to change for the better, but the child was on a mission. The slander hurt my brain, and now I have become a vegetable lying on the hospital bed..."
Even with the compensation from the government, it is not easy to take care of a vegetative person, especially that Auntie Zhang's child not only hurt his brain, but also needs medical treatment in other places.
"In the past few years, I have watched her desperately earn money to treat her child's illness, but..."
The child's aura became weaker and weaker, and she saw that Mrs. Zhang was going to send a white-haired man to a black-haired one.
The old man sighed and was in no mood to chat anymore.Mrs. Zhang is stubborn and has been unwilling to accept their donations.So he sells vegetables there, and when he sees a customer, he recommends it by the way, which can be regarded as helping her.
"Oh, why am I talking about this with you young people." Touching the back of his head, the old man shook his head, then put his hands behind his back and prepared to go home.
Rong Jing didn't say much after hearing this.
Everyone in the world has a fixed number of fates, it is not impossible to change one's fate against the sky, and Rong Jing did not hesitate to remind Aunt Zhang to avoid the bloody disaster in the future.
But if she really wants to change her life, the cause and effect involved are too great. If there is no other chance and cause and effect, Rong Jing can't act rashly.
It's just that he made a random guess and calculated that Mrs. Zhang herself seemed to have some predestined relationship with him. Maybe in the future, she might have a chance to change her fate in her later years.
Putting the bought fruits, vegetables and meat into the refrigerator, Rong Jing looked at the pile of dry goods that she unknowingly took too much: "..."
The saying that he wanted to give it away was just an excuse he pulled out casually, Rong Jing glanced at the half chicken he bought back, and frowned slightly.
You can't boil half a catty of scallops and half a catty of abalone with half a chicken, right?
Rong Guoshi likes to eat umami, but not to this extent.
Sighing, Rong Jing still put those dry goods away for the time being.In order to prevent things from breaking, he also drew a little spiritual energy into it——
A super luxurious storage method for ordinary celestial masters.
After finishing these, the sky is almost dark.
Beijing, as the capital of China, has always been the number one city in China in terms of economic development.Even though it is almost the New Year, the lights outside are still bustling. From a distance, it looks like a colorful picture scroll.
It was a scene that Rong Guoshi had never seen before, and it was also a scene that he had expected.
Speaking of which, before he helped Xie Chong ascend the throne, he also went to a folk New Year temple fair together.
At that time, Dazhao had not yet been established, and the market was in depression.
A few women, elderly, sick and weak squatted in front of their homes, burning paper clothes silently and numbly.
Rong Jing wanted to change this situation at that time, but fortunately he did it.
Today, the world has become much better than it used to be.
Slightly stunned for a moment, Rong Jing came back to her senses, turned around and picked up the vegetables and meat that she had shared out and went to the kitchen.
Probably because the taste of the year is getting stronger, he has also become a little fond of recalling the past.
After making two random dishes, Rong Jing ate dinner, washed up again, and read the script again.
On New Year's Eve, the number of people on the street increased.
Rong Jing bought a lot of things the day before and came back, so she didn't need to go out to squeeze at this time, she just took out the vegetables and meat that she bought in advance from the refrigerator and fried them, and then processed the chicken and some dry goods that she bought. , Put it in a crock pot and boil it over a slow fire.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk."
There was a knock on the door, Rong Jing turned around and opened it.
Grandma Li and Xiaohui were standing in front of his house in new clothes. When they saw him coming to open the door, they smiled: "I'm afraid that your business will not have holidays during the New Year... Here are the rice cakes I made and a bowl of them." Tamale, you can take it home and eat it. I reckon you didn’t cook anything at home alone during the Chinese New Year.”
The rice cake seems to have just come out of the pan, and it looks fluffy and sweet when it is hot; the steamed pork is also a very delicate bowl, which seems to be specially made separately, served on a blue and white porcelain plate, the portion is neither too much nor too little.
Rong Jing frowned slightly, with a hesitant expression.
However, Grandma Li forcefully stuffed the rice cakes and steamed pork into his hands. The smile on her face became more genuine when she saw that he had taken them obediently. Follow Xiaohui back.
Rong Jing held a bowl of rice cakes and a bowl of tamales and watched their figures disappear behind the door before turning back to go home.
Adding the two dishes he had prepared before and the chicken soup that was being boiled, put them on the dining table to watch, and it would be considered a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
It was approaching twelve o'clock at midnight, and bright fireworks had already been lit outside in advance.
Rong Jing got up to turn on the TV, the news rang, and the empty living room suddenly became lively.
Going to the kitchen to fill a bowl of soup, Rong Jing ate quietly, and then heard the TV host count down in an impassioned voice, and finally burst out a joyous "Happy New Year!".
At the same time, his mobile phone also received a lot of New Year's greeting messages, some from Wang Borui, and some from Mu Yunzhou, Ji Wan, and Ji Yucheng.
Rong Jing glanced at it, then put down her chopsticks and replied one by one
The chicken soup with scallops and abalone is unbelievably delicious. Even if Rong Jing's cooking skills are not very good, it tastes good enough.
It's just that he still simmered a little too much, most of the untouched fresh chicken soup was left in the crock pot, Rong Jing turned on a small fire and continued to warm it.
The fireworks outside were set off more intensively after the countdown was over. Firecrackers were not allowed in the community, but caring residents also came up with a lot of ways. There were many recordings of crackling firecrackers, which also set off a lot of New Year's atmosphere.
Rong Jing quietly watched the movement outside.After a while, the phone rang again, but someone called him.
"Rong Jing, Happy New Year." Rong Jing looked at the name displayed on the screen and paused for a second before picking it up.Xie Xuanqing's deep and deep voice rang in his ears. I don't know if it was because of the sound quality of the phone, but it sounded slightly hoarse.
"But it seems that I still haven't had time to catch up." Xie Xuanqing was wearing only a thin shirt, leaning against the huge French window at this time, and said with a smile.
"...Happy New Year to you too." Two seconds later, Rong Jing's iconic cool and pleasant voice came from the phone, and Xie Xuanqing's smile deepened, and all the unhappiness at the New Year's Eve dinner tonight was gone go.
Hearing that there seemed to be a TV on Rong Jing's side, Xie Xuanqing saw the picture of Rong Jing sitting alone in the living room watching the news of the family reunion in Xie Xuanqing's mind, and his heart was slightly suffocated.
Raising his eyes, Xie Xuan changed the subject lightly: "Rong Jing, did you guys take five days off?"
Sometimes he would respectfully call him "Mr. Rong", and sometimes he would call him "Rong Jing".
A voice that was eight or nine points similar came slowly, and Rong Jing was stunned for a moment, before replying lightly: "Yes."
"Is that so..." Xie Xuan lightly raised his head to look at the dark sky outside,
The butler had already led the servants out to set off fireworks, and countless complicated and beautiful patterns rose and disappeared in the air.
Xie Xuanqing suddenly asked: "Are the fireworks on Mr. Rong's side nice?"
Rong Jing subconsciously turned her head to look at the sky outside, "Well, it looks good."
"My side is also very nice." Xie Xuan said with a slight smile, looked outside and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and hung up the phone.
A busy tone of "beep - beep -" came from her ear, Rong Jing put down her phone and took a look, but received a WeChat message from Xie Xuanqing.
I clicked in and took a look, and there were a few photos of night scenes.
The gorgeous fireworks bloom in the dark night sky, even if there is no bright moon, the beauty is not diminished in the slightest.
Rong Jing's fingertips slid down slowly, all the way to the bottom, only to see that Xie Xuanqing sent him a few red envelopes.
Rong Jing:?
Xie Xuanqing: A New Year’s red envelope for Mr. ^_^
Wechat can only send two hundred red envelopes, Xie Xuanqing sent a total of ten, and the total is only two thousand, which is not a lot of money.
But Rong Jing didn't take it.
He stared at the screen for a while, then clicked on the function column next to him to find the function he wanted.
Then a minute later, Xie Xuanjian saw that not only did Rong Jing not receive the red envelopes he sent, but she sent him a few in turn.
"..." Pursing his lower lip, Xie Xuan lightly moved his fingertips, and took those red envelopes.
Xie Xuanqing: Thank you sir for the lucky money
Xie Xuanqing: [Cat Cat Bouquet.jpg]
This time it was Rong Jing's turn to "...".
But it seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that it is New Year's money. Considering his age in the previous life, he is probably still older than the current Xie Xuanqing?
But something still feels wrong.
Frowning, Rong Jing tapped the screen a few times, and then replied Xie Xuanqing with a "hmm".
It just seems a bit forced.
Xie Xuan looked at the concise reply, a smile flashed in his eyes.
After chatting for a while, although most of Rong Jing's replies were very brief, inexplicably, Xie Xuanqing didn't think it was perfunctory.
Xie Xuanqing: By the way, sir, the "Tianshi Lu" you filmed before will start broadcasting in a few days, it should be after the New Year's Eve
At the beginning of the year, most families have their own activities, either going out to visit relatives and friends, or going out on a date to go shopping. On the contrary, the ratings of popular TV series will not be as good as usual holidays.
But when the days of the first and second days of junior high school have passed, and most of the holidays have not yet ended, when it starts broadcasting at this time, it should have a good ratings on the first day.
"Tianshilu" also has a part of Xie's investment. When it was submitted for review, Xie Xuanqing heard a sentence from the people below. Now that the review is over and the promotion is started, it will be ready to start broadcasting.
During this time, Rong Jing was either busy with the special department or filming in the crew, but she didn't receive the news as fast as Xie Xuanqing.
The obsession in my mind began to float when I saw the words sent by Xie Xuanqing, it seemed to be excited, and it seemed to be nostalgic.
Then sank gently again.
Rong Jing could feel that this obsession seemed to have weakened a little after seeing the news.
Staring at the screen thoughtfully for a few seconds, Rong Jing replied.
Rong Jing: Good.
Xie Xuanqing: "..."
With a helpless smile, Xie Xuan said lightly.
Xie Xuanqing: I will watch carefully
Xie Xuanqing: [Cat Cat Bouquet.jpg]
Rong Guoshi stared at his previous sentence, and slowly blinked his eyes.
