Chapter 68 Chinese New Year
Northern Fujian.
This is a small city, not big, but the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the scenery is very beautiful.
Today is New Year's Eve, and firecrackers and fireworks are set off outside. The whole town is very lively. There is a small courtyard in the east of the city. Although it has been a little old, it is quiet and quiet.
Fan Ziyi was nestling on the sofa while gnawing on the apples and watching TV. In the restaurant, Fan’s father and Grandpa Fan were still drinking, and there was a young woman with a slightly bulging belly next to her.
"Dad, I'll give you another cup." Dad Fan smiled and picked up the wine glass to toast the old man.
Then he said to the young woman: "Don't be here, go watch TV and talk to Ziyi." While speaking, he also winked at the young woman who was in a difficult face.
The young woman stood up reluctantly, walked to the living room, squeezed out her smile, and said without saying a word: "Ziyi, has the Spring Festival Gala begun?"
Fan Ziyi didn't even raise her head, her eyes still stayed on the TV screen, and ignored her at all.
The young woman was embarrassed, but she still sat down on the sofa next to her and said with a smile: "Your dad asked me to come over and discuss with you. If it's not the New Year, you should not go to the capital. If you like literature and art, you can go to the county cultural bureau to work. You see that you are alone in the capital, and you don't feel at ease at home..."
Before the young woman could finish her words, Fan Ziyi was interrupted coldly and said, "What does it have to do with you whether I go to the capital or not? Do you have any control?"
Uh? The young woman was speechless, her face suddenly turned red, and she looked at her husband like she was crying.
Seeing this, Fan's father felt very bitter. After all, his wife was still pregnant, so she couldn't help but blame her: "Ziyi, your Aunt Bai is also for your own good. Can't you talk to your Aunt Bai?"
Fan Ziyi jumped up like she had taken a gun and pointed at the young woman and shouted at Fan's father: "Who is she? I don't know her! Why should she care about me? If you have anything to say, you can't tell me yourself, and you have to ask others to pass the message."
"You?" Fan's father glanced at the old man with scruples and said with a angrily voice: "I mean you don't go to the capital in the future, and go back to the county to work honestly. How old are you?"
"I'm seventeen. Besides, I'm pretty good in Beijing. I've also signed a contract with Aunt Qiongyao, Taiwan. I just want to be an actor. What's wrong?"
"What? Have you signed a contract with a company in Taiwan? You don't discuss such a big thing with your family and just make your own decisions. No! This is absolutely not possible!"
While Fan's father was surprised, his face became solemn. As a leading cadre, he is still quite sensitive to the word "Taiwan" and "World" these days.
"Hmph, I have signed all the signs, what's wrong with it?" Fan Ziyi sneered.
Fan's father was completely angry and slapped the table heavily and said, "If I say no, it won't work. You can't go anywhere after the New Year. Just stay at home."
"Why?"
"I am your dad."
"Hmph, do you still know it's my dad?"
Fan Ziyi stood up with a sneer and went upstairs on her own. She did not forget to say hello to the old man: "Grandpa, drink slowly, I'll go upstairs first."
"You! Come back for me..."
"Okay, okay, you can say less during the New Year." The old man didn't say anything just now and persuaded him.
"call!"
Fan's father breathed a sigh of relief and said to the old man with a wry smile: "Dad, you have heard it just now. This girl is lawless now. She has signed a contract with a Taiwanese company without telling her family."
"I don't think it's a big deal. It's been so many years since the reform and opening up. It's not good for you to force your children like this."
The old man felt sorry for his granddaughter and sympathized with his son. His son lost his wife in middle age and finally got married again. His newly married daughter-in-law was pregnant again, but his relationship with his daughter was still not good.
"Dad, it's not that I forced her, but now my relationship with her is tense again. I'm worried that this will be troublesome in the future." Fan's father frowned.
Northern Fujian and Taiwan are across the sea. This was the front line before, and this kind of thing is the most sensitive.
The old man disagreed. He was an old revolutionary who had fought wars and an old cadre who had worked in northern Fujian for decades. He said dissatisfiedly: "What's the trouble with this? You don't have to be too cautious. Tell your child well if you have something to do, don't get angry at all times and take the work style at home. The reason why the child has become like this now is that you have a responsibility."
Fan’s father Yaoyao looked at his pregnant newlywed wife wiping tears in the living room, and he couldn’t help but look lonely. He was busy with work and took the initiative to work in the frontier for several years for his career. He didn’t even stay with her when his wife died of illness. No wonder his daughter refused to forgive him. Now that he has become the county magistrate, he has achieved success and fame, and has become a family again, but the rift with his daughter is getting deeper and deeper.
Fan Ziyi ran to her room upstairs and lay on the bed sulking. After a while, she sat up from the bed, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out a photo album from it.
There are photos of her childhood, including her father and mother. Looking at her mother's young and beautiful face in the photo, tears slid from her face without realizing it...
After a long time, she closed the photo album, carefully put it in the drawer, lay down again, and looked at the ceiling. At this time, she thought of someone, a man who cooks for her every day and helps her clean up the house. In the past two years of being out, only in just over half a month, she tasted the warmth of her long-lost home.
Once upon a time, she also dreamed of a handsome, handsome prince riding a white horse. Although he was not very handsome, he cooked very well, and knew how to care about people and caring about people. In fact, it was good to find such a boyfriend.
Thinking of this, Fan Ziyi couldn't help but blush. But he had a good relationship with Sister Weiwei, and Xu Jinglei. Although she didn't know this woman, she had seen her on TV and looked very dark. I heard that they had worked together on a movie and a TV series. This man surnamed Xu often calls him, which is shameless.
Originally, he planned to take the train with him this time. Although he was going to get off in Hangzhou, he could travel at least half of the way. Unfortunately, he was going to attend the annual meeting of the endorsement brand company and took a plane back in advance. He said that before leaving, he left him a phone call from his home in northern Fujian, but for so long, he hadn't received his call. He was really heartless. He didn't know how to call him during the New Year to greet him.
He also left himself a phone number from his home in Zhejiang Province, why not call one by himself? Fan Ziyi hesitated for a while, finally picked up the phone and dialed a number.
Hey, why can't I get through? Oh, I forgot to dial the area code. Well, the area code of Hangzhou is 0571...
"Come on, come on, meet 98..."
The Spring Festival Gala is being broadcast on TV, and two mainland queens are singing the classic "Meeting 98".
"Brother, isn't that Wang Jingwen? Why is he called Wang Fei now?" Sister Duoduo pointed to the queen on the TV with Nezha's head and a red blush on her face and asked strangely.
"Wang Fei is her original name, Wang Jingwen is her stage name, and now she has changed her original name." Wang Dalun explained with a smile.
"Brother, do you know her? She sings so nicely. All the classmates in our class like her very much. Can you ask me for her signature?"
Duoduo admires him very much. Since the broadcast of "Thunderstorm", he has always thought that his brother is a big star.
Wang Dalun was sweating for a while, but he was the queen of the diva. If he succeeded in two years, Zhao Wei might have become his best friend by then, but where can he get the signature of the queen of the diva now?
I had to say: "Brother doesn't know Wang Fei, so I'm talking about how he is developing in Hong Kong now. When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely get her signature for you, okay?"
Duoduo is already thirteen years old during the Chinese New Year. He is going to middle school in the second half of the year. He has become much more sensible and nods, "Well, brother, don't forget."
"Brother will never forget it." Wang Dalun smiled and pinched his sister's fat little face.
"Dingling..." The phone rang and he picked up the phone casually.
"Hello!"
No sound.
"Hey, who?"
There was still no sound, it was obvious that the other party was not speaking.
Wang Dalun thought it was a prank, so he finally asked, "I'll stop talking, I'll die!"
"whee!"
As soon as he heard the laughter on the phone, Wang Dalun immediately laughed and said, "You girl, you are so funny."
"Who told you not to call to greet New Year?" Fan Ziyi said coquettishly on the phone.
"It's New Year's Eve tomorrow, and I plan to call each one to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow."
"I've been back for so long, so you also called me to ask if the road was going smoothly?"
Hey, Wang Dalun felt a little strange. Why did this girl speak to her today and act like she was acting cute with her?
"Oh, then did you go back smoothly?"
"Hmph, it's fake! I also need someone to remind me." The little girl said dissatisfied.
Then he asked, "What are you doing? Have you eaten the New Year's Eve dinner?"
"I've eaten, I'm watching the Spring Festival Gala. Where are you?"
Listening to the little girl's tone getting worse and wrong, he looked at his father who was sitting on the sofa watching TV and dozing off. Fortunately, Sister Meili went to play mahjong next door, otherwise it would be difficult to talk. But he didn't notice that his little sister was pricking her ears and eavesdropping next to her.
"I, I'm watching the Spring Festival Gala too."
"Why didn't you hear the sound?"
“I turned the volume down.”
Wang Dalun smiled and said, "Look at it alone? Where is the family?"
"I'm watching in the room. By the way, when will you go to Berlin?" Fan Ziyi seemed unwilling to talk about her family and turned the topic apart.
"On the fifth day of next month, I will have to go out to the capital to meet Lao Jia and the others on the seventh day of the lunar month."
"When will you come back?"
"I'm afraid it's the end of the month."
"Oh, right? Then, don't forget to bring me a gift?"
"Of course, when will you come to the capital?" Wang Dalun asked.
"Well... it's not decided now, so you may come after the New Year."
"Haha, then you will have to be hard before I come back from Berlin alone."
"Well, then I'll wait for you to come back at home."
...
"What? I have a girlfriend? I'm still living together? Sister Meili, who have heard you say this? It's okay at all!" Wang Dalun widened his eyes and looked at his smiling mother, and he was confused.
"Don't hide it, I'll ask you who called last night?"
"No one, just a few friends called to pay New Year's greetings. What's wrong?"
"Are there any girls?"
"Yes, but they are all ordinary friends."
Last night, except for Fan Ziyi's phone call, Zhao Wei and Liu Ling called to pay New Year's greetings.
"Hmph, are you still an ordinary friend? Why did the girl tell you that she is waiting for you to come back early at home?" My mother looked at him and smiled strangely.
Wang Dalun felt creepy. When he was calling Fan Ziyi, my mother was playing mahjong next door, and my father was dozing off, so it was impossible for him to hear the content on the phone.
Well, no, he forgot that his little sister had been sitting beside him at that time. Oh, it must be this little girl who eavesdropped on her and sued me.
He hurriedly explained: "Sister Meili, you misunderstood. She is not my girlfriend at all. She is just my neighbor, living downstairs."
"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
"I really didn't lie to you. Besides, I'm still young, only sixteen, oh no, I just had seventeen just now. How could this be possible?"
