Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 318 The First Visit
In Jiangcheng, snowflakes are falling in the cloudy sky.

At noon, after the airport personnel cleared the road, a plane from the capital landed smoothly.

Friends were present on New Year's Eve yesterday. Under the strong atmosphere of celebration, it seemed that a carnival night lasted until 7 o'clock this morning.

Everyone helped to clean up and wash away the dishes, Wang Jinhua and the others went back to their respective homes, while Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi followed Liu Xiaoli to catch the plane and arrived in Jiangcheng.

After a sleepless night, even after taking a nap on the plane, Chu Xuan was still sleepy and kept yawning.

On the contrary, Liu Xiaoli and Concubine Liu Yi's mother and daughter are in good spirits, perhaps because they are close to home and feel timid, but they are happy to be home.

"Sister, Sissy." A voice came from not far away.

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked, a middle-aged but very beautiful woman was waving to them.

Liu Xiaoli's sister?

Concubine Liu Yi's aunt?

No matter who it was, they were Concubine Liu Yi's relatives anyway.

In an instant, Chu Xuan was no longer sleepy, and cheered up.

"Auntie!" Concubine Liu Yi shouted happily and told Chu Xuan the identity of the person in front of her.

Zhou Wenqiong hugged Concubine Liu Yi, "Happy New Year, my Qianqian."

"Happy New Year, auntie." Concubine Liu Yi frowned.

"Let my aunt take a look." Zhou Wenqiong supported Concubine Liu Yi's shoulders with both hands, and looked at her: "It's getting more and more beautiful, nine points like your mother when she was young."

"Do you have your eight points?" Concubine Liu Yi joked.

Zhou Wenqiong shook her head: "I can't, your grandma's genes are all in you and your mother."

"No." Concubine Liu Yi said coquettishly, she hadn't seen her for a long time, and seeing her aunt this time made her very happy.

"Xiqian." Standing next to Zhou Wenqiong was a girl in her 20s, who was her daughter.

"Cousin, you are getting fat." Concubine Liu Yi teased.

"Cissy, can you speak?" The cousin with a white hoodie on her head made a gesture to hit Concubine Liu Yi, but in the end the cousins ​​and sisters just hugged each other intimately.

While embracing each other, Chu Xuan and Liu Xiaoli came over, the cousin looked at Liu Xiaoli and said, "Auntie."

"Happy New Year." Liu Xiaoli said gently.

The cousin glanced at Chu Xuan again, and after she separated from Concubine Liu Yi, she jokingly called her, "Brother-in-law."

Chu Xuan was taken aback, he didn't expect this title.

She nodded slowly, and said, "Hey, cousin."

The cousin blinked, and said to Concubine Liu Yi with a happy face, "He actually agreed."

Zhou Wenqiong watched this scene, and also kept looking at Chu Xuan.

Sensing her gaze, Chu Xuan greeted her: "Happy New Year, Auntie."

The corner of Zhou Wenqiong's mouth twitched: "Hello, Chu Xuan."

Liu Xiaoli came over and hugged Zhou Wenqiong, "When did you come back?"

"It's been a week since I came back." Zhou Wenqiong said.

Liu Xiaoli and Zhou Wenqiong took their father's surname and the other's mother's surname.

Zhou Wenqiong was also an actor before, but later gave up her acting career to start a business. She has a career in the United States and often travels between the two countries.

"Get in the car, go home, my mother is looking forward to you at home." Zhou Wenqiong said, and walked towards the driver's seat.

Liu Xiaoli opened the back seat door, waved to Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and signaled them to get in the car.

After the group got into the car, Zhou Wenqiong drove home.

While driving, Zhou Wenqiong glanced at the rearview mirror of the car. Chu Xuan was already sleepy, but this time in the car, he was even more sleepy, and so was Concubine Liu Yi.

"Tired from flying?" She couldn't help asking.

Liu Xiaoli glanced at Chu Xuan and Qianqian from the left, took a full look at the exhaustion on the faces of the two children, and said, "I spent New Year's Eve with a lot of people yesterday, and I ended up playing until this morning. I drank some wine and stayed up all day and night. .”

Zhou Wenqiong was stunned, and without asking any further questions, he said, "Then when you go back, you should rest first, there are still several hours before dinner."

Half an hour later, the car stopped on the street in front of a small yard.
Perhaps because they heard the sound of the car, the group got out of the car and walked a few steps before the courtyard door was opened, and a group of Concubine Liu Yi's relatives greeted them at the door.

"Aunt, Sissy."

"Auntie, Sissy."

"Xiao Li, Sissy, come in quickly."

Liu Xiaoli has three brothers and sisters, all of whom have children.

While the big family greeted each other cordially, they glanced at Chu Xuan from time to time from the corner of their eyes.

Chu Xuan seemed to be in a situation where he was being judged, and he didn't know how to address everyone. A little embarrassed and a little nervous, he followed Concubine Liu Yi step by step.

At this moment, Concubine Liu Yi is his sense of security.

Concubine Liu Yi glanced at Chu Xuan. Given how familiar she was with Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan's calm but nervous expression couldn't hide from her eyes.

Concubine Liu Yi felt amused. In her impression, it was rare for Chu Xuan, who usually seemed calm in situations, to have such a side.

But the boyfriend is embarrassed, so the girlfriend can't turn a blind eye.

Concubine Liu Yi stretched out her hand to hold Chu Xuan's hand, and walked past Liu Xiaoli to introduce her family to Chu Xuan one by one.

"Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt."

"Happy New Year, cousin, cousin."

"..."

Liu Xiaoli saw her daughter pulling Chu Xuan to act like this, and hearing Chu Xuan's address, she smiled slightly.

According to common sense, it is normal to call her uncle and aunt without being engaged and without a certificate. Chu Xuan directly changed his name and followed his daughter to call her the same name, obviously a bit thick-skinned and cautious.

But Liu Xiaoli didn't think too much about Chu Xuan's name. Since she approved of Chu Xuan, then Chu Xuan's name was also within her tolerance.

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

"Xiaoxuan, come in quickly."

After a circle of greetings, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli took out gifts from the trunk, and welcomed the group of people in with everyone's welcome.

Liu Xiaoli's family is from the Northeast, and her parents were all engaged in the art business. Later, Liu Xiaoli followed her family to Jiangcheng to develop, and took advantage of the opportunity to settle in Jiangcheng. Liu Xiaoli also met Ankang because of this.

There are three three-story buildings in the yard, which are a bit old. In Chu Xuan's eyes, it is estimated that there are three brothers and sisters including Liu Xiaoli.

These three brothers and sisters do not come to live permanently due to their respective careers, but they basically come back to spend time with their old mother every Chinese New Year. This is one of the few expectations of the old mother in her life.

At the door of the building in the middle, a kind old man smiled and looked at the people who came.

"Grandma!" Concubine Liu Yi ran over and gave her a hug.

Grandma is nearly seventy years old, but her hair and beard are only half white. She is erect, energetic, and has piercing eyes.

But judging by the shape of their faces, Liu Xiaoli and Concubine Liu Yi are five or six points similar. Although they are old now, they were very handsome when they were young.

"Is this Xiaoxuan?" Grandma looked at her kindly.

"Grandma, happy new year." Chu Xuan said gently.

"Hey! Okay, happy new year, come in quickly, this child, come as soon as you come, why do you still bring so many things?" Grandma was very enthusiastic, calling Chu Xuan into the house.

"Mom, let them rest for a while, they haven't slept all day and all night." Liu Xiaoli said after carrying her things.

"Didn't sleep all day and all night?" Grandma was a little surprised, and said, "Put your things down and go to rest quickly."

Concubine Liu Yi put down the gift, seeing that grandma wanted to lead her and Chu Xuan upstairs to rest, she said, "Grandma, I'll just take Chu Xuan there."

Not wanting to trouble grandma, Concubine Liu Yi couldn't help but pull Chu Xuan and prepare to run upstairs.

Chu Xuan was pulled by Concubine Liu Yi, turned to look at Liu Xiaoli and said, "Auntie, shall I go to rest first?"

Liu Xiaoli nodded: "Go."

Under the eyes of everyone, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi disappeared in the corridor.

Zhou Wenqiong withdrew his gaze towards the end of the corridor, "I respect you very much, and I will ask you for instructions."

Judging from the details, Zhou Wenqiong was initially satisfied with Chu Xuan.

Liu Xiaoli nodded, Chu Xuan has always respected her, it's just that the family didn't know Chu Xuan well when they saw him for the first time.

"You haven't slept all day and all night, go up and rest?" Zhou Wenqiong asked.

"It's okay, can I help you? Who is the chef today, why don't I come?" Liu Xiaoli rejected Zhou Wenqiong's kindness. She came back once a year, so she should spend more time with her family.

"Today I'm the chef, you help me." Concubine Liu Yi's aunt said.

"It's three o'clock, let's move." Liu Yifei's uncle, who is also Liu Xiaoli's eldest brother, clapped his hands.

That's it, those who should go to the kitchen go to the kitchen, while Liu Xiaoli, Zhou Wenqiong and others accompany the old mother to pick vegetables in the house.

When the family gets together, there will inevitably be a burst of greetings and family quarrels.

But today a special guest came to the house, and the conversation naturally focused on this guest.

"Sissi fell in love with Chu Xuan at the age of 16?" Grandma peeled the shreds of green beans, and was very concerned about her granddaughter's situation.

"Yes, I only found out later." Liu Xiaoli nodded, and she couldn't help laughing at the thought of Sissi and Chu Xuan co-acting to hide her.

"Protective measures must be taken well." Grandma suddenly said this.

Liu Xiaoli shook her head: "They haven't reached that point yet, I'm with Sissi every day, and I know Sissy's physical condition."

Zhou Wenqiong blinked: "It's been two years and I still haven't reached that point? So innocent?"

Grandma is from the older generation. Although the love between men and women in her era was conservative, once it was released, it was very early, so she was very open about it.

Although Zhou Wenqiong didn't support Sissi doing that at such a young age, she was surprised when she heard from her sister that Sissi and Chu Xuan had been together for two years and hadn't reached that point. The situation is gone.

"Chu Xuan respects Qianqian very much." Liu Xiaoli succinctly stated the results of her own observations over the past few years.

It was said that Zhou Wenqiong and grandma were thoughtful, they didn't know Chu Xuan well, so they could only be noncommittal about Liu Xiaoli's words.

"Sissi fell in love so early, according to your past personality, you must be a big hit." Zhou Wenqiong said.

"I struggled too, but Chu Xuan is a really different child." Liu Xiaoli said that her daughter's early love is indeed not in line with the concept of a strong woman she has always instilled in her daughter, but Chu Xuan's appearance and Chu Xuan's actions have changed. out of her mind.

"Why is it different? Wealth?" Zhou Wenqiong said: "It's really unusual to have your own company at a young age and have hundreds of millions of assets."

But Liu Xiaoli shook her head: "If I was greedy for money, I would not have divorced at the beginning, and I would not choose to leave the house after divorce. Regarding the matter of my daughter, I have never valued Chu Xuan's wealth."

Zhou Wenqiong peeled the garlic, approving her sister's words.

Their family doesn't say they are rich, but they are not too short of money. My sister grew up with a golden key in the dance world. Why haven't I seen such a big storm?

As for the matter of her daughter Cici, the elder sister was very serious, forcibly tearing off her aura, and devoted the rest of her life to Cici.

Because of this, my sister transformed into a "gorgeous" and became an extremely stubborn mother.

Liu Xiaoli scratched the potatoes and said: "The two of them can start from the same starting point and achieve each other together. This is the point that moves me the most. In view of my marriage with Ankang, the two of them are on the right and the best path." It’s safe, so I support it.”

Liu Xiaoli paused and said, "If they hadn't taken this path, there would be a huge gap between Sissi and Chu Xuan. Over time, the gap would make Sissy useless. Taking my own emotional experience as a guide, I'm sure Will not support."

Grandma and Zhou Wenqiong nodded, this was in line with Liu Xiaoli's character.

At the beginning, Liu Xiaoli committed suicide to fight for her daughter's custody. This matter caused a stir in Jiangcheng, and Liu Xiaoli's reputation plummeted.

Liu Xiaoli completely gave up her self-esteem and face for her daughter. Since then, such a mother used her own experience to teach her daughter to be independent from an early age, and she firmly did not allow her daughter to be a vase.

Zhou Wenqiong and her grandmother are naturally very clear about Liu Xiaoli's behavior style and strong woman character.

They also have a preliminary understanding of Liu Xiaoli's attitude of recognizing Chu Xuan and supporting Qian Qian and Chu Xuan's relationship.

And from Liu Xiaoli's words, they all revealed their optimism and love for Chu Xuan, which made them even more curious, looking forward to meeting Chu Xuan at dinner and getting to know him better.

……

Faintly, a sound passes through the malleus, incus and stapes of the ear, and then reaches the cochlea through the transmission of brain nerves. The cochlea reorganizes the pitch, duration and intensity of the sound, and converts the The sound spreads in the brain.

Finally, an alarm is issued via the thalamus: "Get up and eat!"

Chu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and in the corner of his vision, the appearance of Liu Xiaoli and Concubine Liu Yi beside the bed changed from blurry to clear.

"What time is it?" He lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

"07:30." Liu Yifei replied.

"When did you wake up?" Chu Xuan put on his slippers, and walked out with Liu Xiaoli side by side with Concubine Liu Yi.

"I was woken up by my mother just now." Concubine Liu Yi covered her mouth and yawned.

Chu Xuan nodded. Under Liu Xiaoli's guidance, he washed up briefly in the bathroom on the second floor, and then went downstairs together.

In the lobby on the first floor, a large round table was already set up, full of delicacies.

On the wall facing the gate, there is an altar with the words "Heaven, Earth, Monarchs, Parents and Teachers" hanging, and incense wax is inserted in the ash furnace in front of the altar.

Greeted by all relatives, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi made three bows before the altar, and then took their seats.

The round table was full of people, but no one moved their chopsticks. They were all waiting for grandma to speak. Chu Xuan also followed Concubine Liu Yi to look at grandma. This was his first experience at such a family banquet.

"Another year has passed, and it's a new year with a new atmosphere. I hope the children and grandchildren are safe and well." Grandma said with her hands clasped together. Maybe the children and grandchildren are all there, and the happiness on her face is clearly visible.

Grandma raised a cup of tea, and Chu Xuan raised a glass of wine with Concubine Liu Yi.

"Happy Chinese New Year!" Everyone was beaming.

After a cup, grandma served the tea again non-stop: "Come on, it's the first time for Xiaoxuan to come to our house for the Chinese New Year. Welcome everyone."

Grandma's face seemed to have many wrinkles, but her expression was dignified and elegant. Perhaps it was heredity. Liu Xiaoli, Zhou Wenqiong, and Concubine Liu Yi all seemed to have elegance engraved in their bones.

And grandma's words seemed to be "imperial decree", both elders and juniors toasted and turned to Chu Xuan.

"Thank you." Chu Xuan raised his glass.

"I am also very happy to be here for the New Year."

"Especially when I saw my grandma, I also understood why Aunt Liu, my aunt, Sissy and my cousins ​​are all so beautiful. This is the natural beauty of heredity."

"I wish my grandma a blessing like the East China Sea and a long life like Nanshan, all the best for my uncle and aunt, my aunt's career is prosperous, and my cousins ​​and cousins ​​are happy every day."

He raised his glass to look at Liu Xiaoli and said, "Auntie Liu worked hard in the past, but she will be happy in the future."

He raised his glass to look at Concubine Liu Yi and said, "Sissi is getting more and more beautiful, for our dreams, we will continue to work hard."

Everyone watched Chu Xuan's blessing circle, and they were very surprised, and they also nodded to express their satisfaction.

Grandma clapped her hands together, smiled and said, "Hey, this kid is so good at talking."
