The wealthy man's wife is a sideline [rebirth]

I don't know when the first snow fell, and then time passed faster and faster, rushing towards the New Year's Day.

After experiencing the inhumane final exam, contemporary students, with their emaciated bodies, thick dark circles and eager homesickness, set foot on the vehicles to return to their hometowns.Before the final exam results come out, it is easy to enjoy a while under the care of parents and relatives.

Su Qiao was no exception. As soon as he was on vacation, he went straight back to Su's house.

Because of what happened to Su Yu some time ago, Su's mother was hit hard. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is still half a month away, thinking of the harmony of the whole family at this time in previous years, she became even more depressed.

Su Qiao had no other choice but to spend more time with her mother at home, which would make her happier.

During this period, the results of the final exam came out, and his professional courses flew by at a low altitude. Although it was not worth showing off, at least there was no record of failing the course.Su Qiao was quite self-aware and accepted it happily.

A few roommates communicated in the group, and Li Mao got a high score without any surprise, but Cheng Yishu failed the course.He wailed in the group that his mother saw him when he was checking his grades. Cheng's mother sneered at that time, and estimated that the food for the next three days would not be as good as the dog at home.

Li Mao: 【...I didn't give you the key points and make up the lessons, why did you still fail the course? 】

Su Qiao was also surprised, and was about to ask this.He has always known that he is not smart. Although Cheng Yishu usually likes to play, he can learn things faster than him.Why did I pass it myself, but Cheng Yishu didn't?

Cheng Yishu sent an emoji of noodles crying.

Cheng Yishu: [I am absent from one class, and I usually don’t have enough credits... If I sum it up, I’ll just fail ORZ]

This reason is not sympathetic at all, Su Qiao and Li Mao each replied with an ellipsis.

Li Mao: [It deserves it. 】

……

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Luo Yunshen finished his last job before the year and gave the secretary and the driver a vacation.He drove the car by himself to Su's house.

The sky is already dark, street lights are lit up on the street, and some shops hang red Chinese knots at the door, which looks very festive.

When we arrived at Su's house, dinner had just been served.

Because the New Year's Eve was approaching, the chefs working in Su's family were also on vacation. These days until the fifth day of the new year, they had to cook by themselves.The dishes on the table are rich and full of fragrance, one can tell that it is Su Qiao's handicraft.

Luo Yunshen took off his windbreaker and greeted Su's father and Su's mother.

"Xiao Luo is back, and we just happened to watch the show together." Mother Su said. "Is it about to start broadcasting?"

Su Guoan also said: "I will have dinner in the living room later, so as not to miss it."

Luo Yunshen nodded: "Okay."

The food series that Su Qiao recorded earlier happened to be broadcast around the New Year's Eve.Su Qiao's own issue is today.As a successful businessman himself, Su's father was often featured on TV and newspapers, but his youngest son made a name for himself and was able to appear on the food column of "Jincheng News", which made him extremely proud.

Su Guoan has shown off to the old employees several times implicitly, saying that his children are doing well, and Su's mother also mentioned to the wives and wives in her circle one by one that they must watch the show on time at 27:07 on the evening of December 30.

Su Qiao didn't know about this, he just thought that he was an ordinary show, an ordinary publicity shop, and he didn't expect that a series of operations by his parents would make him be killed by relatives and friends in the next few days of New Year's greetings. Greetings and ridicule countless times.

At this time, he was also looking forward to watching TV, thinking: during the Chinese New Year, almost everyone is on holiday, and the ratings of the program have soared, so more people will see the advertisement.When the new store opens, there will be a lot of customers.

The family brought dinner to the living room and watched the show while eating.

The food column will be broadcast in "Jincheng News", so the front is still the local people's livelihood news, probably because of the Chinese New Year, the TV station randomly interviewed a few citizens and asked them what they bought for the New Year.

"I don't dare to buy finished products, buy some fresh ones and go back and make them myself." The citizen said frankly. "I haven't forgotten the news about food safety a while ago. Who knows if those things are up to standard? I'm happy during the Chinese New Year, but if I buy something bad and go back and eat it up, wouldn't it be sad? "

The reporter nodded and asked again: "Are all the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner made by ourselves? What should I do if I don't know how to cook those with complicated procedures?"

The citizen said freely: "If you can't do it, you will be hungry."

reporter:"……"

"Okay, it seems that our citizen friend has some small problems in cooking." The reporter reacted on the spot with a smile on his face. "You can pay attention to our food column, and teach you a group New Year's banquet dish every day, until the New Year's Eve, to ensure that your dinner table is colorful and delicious."

The citizen said: "I have paid attention, but I feel that it is not very effective. Didn't you teach the peacock fish two days ago? I followed suit, but I couldn't do it. The fish fillets were broken when they came out. It smells fishy... Your chef made a beautiful one, but if you make it yourself, it's a mess."

reporter:"……"

"This dish is quite difficult, and you may need to practice a lot." The reporter smiled, not knowing if it was an illusion, but her speech speed suddenly accelerated. "Our gourmet column brings another dessert to the audience today. The making process is simple and delicious. Next, please enter the Spring Festival series of gourmet column and learn how to make the dish—Wanlu Yingfu Crisp!"

In front of the TV, Su's father and Su's mother suddenly sat up straight.

As soon as the screen changed, the opening scene showed more than a dozen employees of Su Ji standing in several rows, with Su Qiao leading the way.

Before Su Guoan could see which one was his son, he said happily, "Jiujiu is so pretty, follow me, he will become more and more handsome."

Su's mother glanced at her husband, and said angrily, "My son is good-looking because he strives for himself. What's the matter with you? If he grows up with you, he can still be called handsome."

After Su Yu's incident, this was a rare moment for Su's mother to be happy, and she was able to bury someone.So Father Su not only didn't refute, but even touched his face pretending to be melancholy.

"I wasn't as handsome as Jiujiu when I was young?" he said.

Mother Su let out a "chuck" and patted Su Qiao on the back, meaning "don't care about your father".

The family is happy and harmonious. On the screen, Su Qiao and everyone together cupped their hands and said: "All the staff of Su Ji wish you a happy Chinese New Year and a happy family!"

Off-screen, Su Qiao: "..."

He didn't expect that seeing his own face on TV would be so embarrassing.

How can the smile on your face be so silly? Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, and shouting slogans. Is this any different from real estate sales companies organizing employees to dance in public every day?

I was also seen by my parents and Mr. Luo... the scene of the death of the society!

How could this happen? No one thought it was wrong during the filming. Looking at it now, it’s just too silly... What a happy and family-friendly Chinese New Year. From this show, his joy and happiness are gone!

Father Su didn't notice his son's mood, and commented enthusiastically: "The background is a bit empty. Since we want to give New Year greetings to the audience, of course it should be festive. Why didn't you find a pair of couplets to paste, or hang two lanterns? OK."

"You are the only one with a mouth to talk?" Mother Su said. "My son is smiling happily enough."

Su Qiao: "..."

Su Qiao silently grabbed Luo Yunshen's clothes and hid her face in the other's chest.

At this moment, Su Qiao didn't know that embarrassment in a small area was nothing.When it's time to celebrate the New Year, everyone will take out the TV show and praise it, and then it will be the real one that makes people want to leave this planet in the next second.

What comforted Su Qiao was that Wanlu Yingfu Crisp received relatively good feedback.

"Jincheng News" set up an interactive session at the end of the program. Viewers can communicate with the host through APP messages. There are many praises in the messages in this issue.

[The dish taught today is very good. The production steps seem to be very simple, and the raw materials are also cheap. If you fail, you won’t feel bad.I will buy taro and purple sweet potato tomorrow and try it out! 】

[The stewed sea cucumber with matsutake that I taught two days ago, we small and medium-sized people don’t know how to make it at all, this dessert is very good.There will be another new dish at the reunion banquet, thanks to the program team and the chef. 】

[Just now, the children at home watched TV together, and he was so hungry that he clamored to eat this after he had just finished eating.I hope that the program team will shoot more of these simple and easy-to-learn dishes, and add some new tricks to the dinner table for us viewers! 】

On New Year's Eve, Su Qiao woke up early.

The seat next to him was empty, so he stared blankly for a while, put on thick plush home clothes, and went downstairs in slippers to see what his parents and Luo Yunshen were doing.

There was no one in the living room, but voices came from the kitchen.

"The scaffolding will be moved out later, and both sides of the iron gate outside must be pasted." Su Guoan said. "In the past years, it was Jiujiu and Xiaoyu..."

Su's father suddenly lost his voice, and after a few seconds, he started talking again: "Xiao Luo, have you never used this?"

"En." Luo Yun said deeply. "My cousin puts up Spring Festival couplets at home."

"Then let Jiujiu be with you later, he has posted many times." Father Su said. "Let me see, this pot of paste should be ready."

Su Qiao stood at the door of the kitchen for a while, recalling the incident of posting Spring Festival couplets with Su Yu in his memory, it seemed to be a long time ago, so vague that he couldn't quite remember.

What he remembered was that when he was locked up in the Song family villa, he spent two dark and lonely Spring Festivals alone.Su Yu went to see him, would bring a dumpling, and then told him that during these days of family reunion, parents don't know the whereabouts of their youngest son, and they can only face the empty house, how uncomfortable it will be.

Su Yu knew very well how damaging these words were, so he made a special trip to visit him on New Year's Eve. There were lively firecrackers outside, but he was the only one in the room.

Originally, Su Qiao often thought that her parents were over half a century old, suffered the blow of the company's bankruptcy, and had to face the reality that the whereabouts of their youngest son was unknown, how could they survive?What should I do if I see other people's family reunions on this day?

Su Yu's words were like a knife piercing his heart, making him feel endless pain and guilt.

Su's father came out with the boiled paste and saw his youngest son standing at the door of the kitchen. He was surprised and said, "Jiujiu, what are you doing here? Have you washed your face? After washing, I will go to post Spring Festival couplets with Xiao Luo."

"Oh." Su Qiao regained consciousness. "good."

There are a lot of Spring Festival couplets at home, because they want to give New Year's gifts to employees, and Su's New Year's goods prepared include Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters in addition to various specialties.Su's mother picked and found the longest one, and let them stick on both sides of the outermost iron gate.

"Climb carefully." Mother Su urged. "Don't fall."

Luo Yunshen moved the scaffolding out the door, followed by Su Qiao, who was carrying the paste, and the two walked out the door together.

"After a while, brush the paste on the wall first, and then stick it." Su Qiao held a small brush. "But move quickly, or the paste will be blown dry by the wind."

"Okay." Luo Yun nodded deeply. "Why don't you use glue?"

Su Qiao: "I don't know, maybe it's a tradition. My dad likes to make this. Every year on the 31st, he goes into the kitchen to make paste."

Rather than saying that the paste is easy to use, it is better to say that it is a sense of ritual. It takes time to boil a pot of paste to paste the Spring Festival couplets, which makes it more solemn and full of New Year flavor.

After posting the Spring Festival couplets and having breakfast, it was almost ten o'clock.After they changed their clothes and said a few words with Su's father and Su's mother, they were about to go to Luo's house for a reunion dinner.

The two families are both in Jincheng, not far apart, so Su Qiao has to run at both ends this year's [-]th.At noon at the Luo family, and at night back to the Su family, this was the first time he had seen so many Luo family members since the wedding, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

Luo Yunshen held his hand and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, the rest of the people don't usually see each other very much, just say a few words to parents and grandma, and go upstairs to rest after dinner, and wait until three or four in the afternoon leave."

The Luo family plus side branches, there are not a few people, and they will come to have a family dinner on New Year's Day.There are at least five or six of Luo Yunshen's peers, but except for Luo Xingzhu, a serious cousin, the rest of them are far away, and they only see each other once or twice during the Spring Festival throughout the year.

Luo Yunshen himself didn't talk to them much, so naturally he wouldn't ask Su Qiao to do anything.

It was almost noon when the two arrived at Luo's house.A group of middle-aged people surrounded the old lady Luo, who didn't know what to say, while the juniors around each lowered their heads and held their mobile phones.

Luo Xingzhu was bored, when he saw Su Qiao, he waved to them, then leaned over to Old Madam Luo's ear, "Grandma, do you see who is here?"

The old lady Luo took a look and smiled immediately: "Jiujiu is here?"

All the people around turned their heads to look over, wondering who is Chiu Chiu?

They surrounded the old lady and said compliments for a long time just now, but the old lady didn't look happy at all, why did the old man smile like something when this person came?

This group of relatives only met Su Qiao once at the wedding, and didn't know his nickname, so they didn't recognize him for a while.It wasn't until the person got closer that he realized that this college student with baby fat on his face was Luo Yunshen's marriage partner.

Su Qiao put her hands behind her back nervously, and said hello obediently: "Happy New Year, Grandma." He didn't know how to address the rest of the people, so he looked around with a smile, and nodded politely to those who met his gaze.

He was shy by nature, and he just felt out of place in this occasion with many relatives and friends, he hesitated in his steps, not knowing where to go.

Luo Yun held his shoulder deeply, and said in a low voice, "Sit next to grandma?"

Su Qiao nodded.

As soon as he sat down, Luo Xingzhu approached with a smile: "Jiujiu, there is a special dish for lunch today, do you know what it is?"

Su Qiao: "Huh?"

He looked at Luo Xingzhu winking, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"It's the dessert you taught on TV." Luo Xingzhu said. "Grandma and Aunt Tang both thought the name of this dish was very auspicious, so they asked the chef to follow suit and cook it for the family today."

Su Qiao: "..."

"Grandma, grandma also watched the show?" Su Qiao stammered.He looked at Luo Yunshen helplessly, his face was full of embarrassment, and the tips of his ears were flushed.

"It's not just me, the whole family has watched it," Mrs. Luo said. "Jiujiu is really energetic, and it's also good to watch on TV. The New Year's greetings segment is the best, full of joy."

Su Qiao was speechless, scratched the tip of her nose, not knowing what to say.

He was still silently digesting the scene of his own death. The relatives around heard Mrs. Luo's words and asked curiously, "What's on TV?"

The old lady Luo told about Su Qiao's appearance on the food column of "Jincheng News".

The relatives were worrying that there was no new topic to compliment the old lady. Hearing this, and thinking about the old man's attitude towards Su Qiao, his heart changed, and the good words immediately poured out like money.

"That's right, Jiujiu is good-looking, and it's not bad at all when he's on TV." I don't know who it is, and he called him by his nickname. "I'm only 20 years old this year. It can be said that he is young and promising, and he matches Yun Shen very well."

Someone who knew Su Ji said in an exaggerated and funny tone: "The restaurant that Jiujiu opened has become very popular recently. A friend of mine went there a few days ago and said that there was a line outside for more than three hours! No wonder he was able to be on a gourmet show, this skill is considered top-notch in Jincheng, I don’t know when this brat in my family will be able to start his own business like Jiujiu."

Su Qiao shrank her head back in embarrassment amidst the praise.

……

The two had lunch at Luo's house, took a short rest, and then returned to Su's house.

Compared with the bustle of the Luo family, there are only four people here, which inevitably seems deserted.Su's mother was probably still thinking about her eldest son who didn't know where she was. Although she didn't say a word, she was obviously not in a high mood.

Seeing this, Su Guoan could only sigh.

The annual Spring Festival Gala was broadcast on TV, and there were laughter and laughter; outside the screen, Su's father said: "The new year is coming soon, don't think about unpleasant things, why bother to make yourself unhappy? We tweeted so Sensible... Isn't it enough to be gratified?"

Mother Su was silent, and forced a smile: "That's right."

There was a sudden light outside, and I don't know where the fireworks were set off. Through the French windows between the living room and the small garden, a large piece of light was reflected into the house, and there were jagged tree shadows in the middle, flickering on the floor.

Su Qiao walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, where she could see the clear sky in winter night.In the distance, there are faint stars flickering, and recently, they are fireworks that rise into the air and then fall and disappear.

He was not locked in that small room, but stayed in the home where he grew up, and the night sky in front of him was endless and unfettered.Behind him are his parents and his lover.

Even though there are many imperfections, Su Qiao is still grateful for this year.

"What are you looking at?" someone asked behind him.

Su Qiao turned her head, smiled and planted a kiss on Luo Yunshen's chin.

"Look at the stars."
