The canary of the reborn paranoid boss is so delicate
Chapter 38 New Year's Eve Dinner
Xu Yan said she would call Lin Xiao after she was busy, but she didn't return the call until she went to bed.
The next day, Xu Yan got up early, but no one was at home.
Xu Yan got up and saw a note on the bedside table.
The font looks like Xu Lanliu's: "We went to the store, breakfast is in the pot."
Xu Yan walked into the kitchen wearing pajamas and slippers.
I saw the iron pot on the stove with a lid.
Open the lid of the pot, and inside there are two purple potato buns, an egg, and a bottle of milk.
A very ordinary breakfast, but also very reassuring.
After breakfast, Xu Yan did not go to her father's restaurant to help, but went to the market.
People are coming and going on the street. There are still a few days before the New Year. The migrant workers are returning home one after another. Everyone's face is filled with anticipation for the New Year.
Xu Yan met many acquaintances, and everyone greeted her politely: "Xu Yan is back. When did she come back?"
"Long time no see. She's getting more and more beautiful."
"You have graduated from college, what are you doing now?"
"Have you found a boyfriend yet?"
"When did you come back?"
We are overwhelmed with all kinds of problems, but fortunately we can still cope with them.
Xu Yan walked around the market and bought a lot of annual goods.
At noon, Xu Lan called her. Originally, he wanted to call her to eat, but he learned that she was shopping outside.
Xu Lan passed the news to her mother and stepfather. Before Xu's father said anything, Zhang Qin had already spoken: "Please tell your sister not to buy it. We have everything at home. I will buy new year's goods in the next two days. She just works." , and she doesn’t have much money, so let her stop spending money randomly.”
"It's okay. If she wants to buy it, just buy it. It's all from my family. I'll give her the money when she comes back." Xu's father finally spoke.
Since she said so, Zhang Qin couldn't say anything else.
"Ask her if she can come over for dinner?" Xu's father said.
Xu Lan conveyed her stepfather's words: "Dad, did you want to come over for dinner?"
Xu Yan said: "No, I will go back directly after eating. If you are not busy in the afternoon, you can come back and help clean up."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qin asked Xu Lan: "What did your sister say?"
Xu Lan said: "She said she ate out, cleaned the house after eating, and asked me to go back with her."
"Okay, it's almost Chinese New Year, and there's not much business in the store. You can go back in the afternoon." Father Xu said.
"Okay." Xu Lan agreed.
Xu Yan has been back for four days and has cleaned the house thoroughly from inside to outside. She has almost bought everything she needs to buy.
There are only three days left for the Chinese New Year, and all the restaurants on the street have been closed.
Some go back to the village to celebrate the New Year, and some buy houses in the city and go back to the city to celebrate the New Year.
The Xu family's house is located in an old community in the town. The house used to be a workers' dormitory and is 30 years old.
Everything looks old, but it was renovated a few years ago and looks relatively clean.
Father Xu saved some money and planned to buy a new apartment in the city.
He just had this idea, but it hasn't been implemented yet because he only has two daughters. When the daughter gets married, the house will only be occupied by the old couple.
In the blink of an eye, on New Year's Eve, Xu's father's restaurant closed and he became a chef at home.
Zhang Qin was helping. Xu Yan also wanted to help, but was kicked out of the kitchen by the two elders.
They say that children should play during the New Year. On New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, children will not be beaten no matter how naughty they are.
They don't have to work, and even their unfinished homework will not be forced by their parents to do it in these two days.
There is something to note, that is, you must not break the bowl or drop the chopsticks during these two days.
Otherwise it will be taken as a bad connotation, so in order to prevent such things from happening, parents simply stop letting their children work.
Xu Yan and Xu Lan were sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV.
"Wow, this female star is so beautiful," Xu Lan suddenly saw a star singing on TV and said.
Xu Yan was playing with her mobile phone with her head down. When she heard this, she looked up. When she saw who was singing clearly, she raised her eyebrows: "Zhao Zhizhi?"
"Sister, do you recognize her?" Xu Lan asked. She remembered that Xu Yan usually didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry.
Xu Yan said: "I know her. She is my college classmate and she lives in the same dormitory."
Xu Lan's eyes instantly lit up: "Really? The big star is your classmate and lives in the same dormitory?"
Xu Yan looked at Xu Lan's sudden excitement and asked, "Do you like her?"
Xu Lan said with some embarrassment: "I can't say I like her, but I didn't expect that there would be people around me who know celebrities."
Xu Yan said: "There is nothing wrong with chasing stars. It depends on whether the person you are chasing is worth chasing."
"Huh? Sister, do you know something inside?" Xu Lan asked.
Xu Yan said: "There is no inside story, just find someone else to chase her. Let's forget it."
Xu Lan said: "Oh, sister, you two don't have a good relationship, right?"
Xu Yan looked at the girl on TV with exquisite makeup and extraordinary temperament. After not seeing her for just a few months, Zhao Zhizhi was no longer the transparent person she was before, and was becoming more and more like a big star.
Is it just their relationship? They were once best friends, but now they have gone their separate ways.
Zhao Zhizhi became famous earlier than Xu Yan before her rebirth, but this time she became famous not because of her works, but because of her traffic.
The carefully packaged vase is beautiful but fragile.
Xu Yan is waiting for how Zhao Zhizhi will react when the vase breaks.
"We had a good relationship before, but it seemed like I was just self-righteous." Xu Yan said.
Xu Lan looked at Xu Yan's expression and was very knowledgeable and did not go into details.
"You two sisters, stop watching TV and start eating." Zhang Qin's voice came from behind.
Xu Yan stood up and said to Xu Lan: "Stop watching TV, let's go, let's eat."
Dark night and stars fall outside the window, but the lights of thousands of houses are brighter than the stars, and occasionally a firework explodes in the sky.
The sound of crackling firecrackers is endless, and the table is filled with ordinary and home-cooked New Year's Eve dinner.
Xu Yan has eaten a lot of delicacies with Lin Xiao, and they all say that it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, but Xu Yan, who has eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, now looks at the ordinary food on the table, but it still makes her heart warm.
Perhaps the important thing is not what you eat, but who you eat with.
"Come, let's raise a glass together to welcome the new year." Xu Yan raised her glass and said to the other three people.
Father Xu, who was originally a little serious, softened his face at this moment.
Raising glasses to congratulate each other, the fireworks in the world are the most soothing to mortal hearts.
Xu Yan suddenly thought of Lin Xiao and wondered if he was also having New Year's Eve dinner.
She sent Lin Xiao the photos she took of the New Year's Eve dinner.
After a while, Lin Xiao texted back: "Are you happy?"
Xu Yan replied: "Well, I'm happy. How about you, are you having dinner with grandpa?"
There was no reply to this message for a long time.
Halfway through the meal, Xu Yan hid in the toilet and called Lin Xiao.
The phone rang three times before it was picked up: "Lin Xiao, happy New Year."
Lin Xiao's familiar and cold voice came: "Yanyan, happy New Year."
Xu Yan smiled: "What are you doing?"
Lin Xiao said: "I'm on the phone with you."
Xu Yan snorted: "Oh, you know that's not what I'm asking."
"Yanyan, I want to hug you." Lin Xiao suddenly said.
Xu Yan knew that he was just talking. The two were thousands of miles apart. Even if she agreed, she had no choice but to meet immediately.
She also thought of teasing: "Okay, I also want to hold you and celebrate the New Year together."
"Bang bang bang!" Someone set off fireworks outside.
Xu Yan was startled and heard the sound of fireworks coming from Lin Xiao's side: "Are you setting off fireworks over there too?" Xu Yan asked.
Lin Xiao took a while before replying: "Yes, we are setting off fireworks."
"What a coincidence, we are also setting off fireworks here. I also bought a lot of fireworks sticks. After dinner, I took my sister out to set off fireworks. It's a pity that you are not here, otherwise you can come with us." Xu Yan said .
"With you?" Lin Xiao asked.
Xu Yan didn't realize something was wrong and said, "Yes, the Chinese New Year is very lively here. There are also small parties in the square, held in the town."
"Yanyan." Lin Xiao shouted.
"what happened?"
"Are you willing to take me to meet your family?" Lin Xiao said the words anxiously.
Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, aren't you my boyfriend now? What, do you want to meet your parents?" Xu Yan teased.
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I want everyone to know that you belong to me."
Xu Yan doesn't want to worry about this ownership issue now. She is very clear about Lin Xiao's obsession with her.
"Yanyan, what's wrong? Are you feeling sick in your stomach?" Xu Yan didn't go back for a long time. Zhang Qin was worried and went to the bathroom and knocked on the door to ask.
Only then did Xu Yan realize that she and Lin Xiao had been chatting for too long, and hurriedly rushed outside and said, "No, I'll be out right away."
After that, he whispered to Lin Xiao on the phone: "I'll hang up now, Lin Xiao. I wish you a happy New Year in advance."
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Xiao's reply, he cut off the phone.
Lin Xiao looked at the phone page where the call ended and took a deep breath. He opened the car window and looked up at the brightly lit buildings across the street.
Such an old building, and the entire community was not as good as his villa, but in such a dilapidated building, his beloved lived.
They were so close yet so far apart. Lin Xiao looked at one of the windows.
There was light there, and there was no difference between it and the windows of other homes, but the biggest difference was that it was Xu Yan's home.
The sound of fireworks exploding overhead was heard one after another. There was no one on the road. Everyone should be at home having New Year's Eve dinner at the moment.
Xu Yan came out of the toilet and returned to the dining table. Zhang Qin quickly brought her some food: "Yanyan, eat more. Your dad specially cooked it for you."
"Thank you, auntie, I can do it myself," Xu Yan said, but not to save Zhang Qin's face.
Xu Yan also gave Xu Lan a piece of food with chopsticks: "Lan Lan, eat more too."
"Thank you, sister," Xu Lan held the bowl and took the food from Xu Yan.
"You two sisters, please eat more." Zhang Qin was happy to see that Xu Yan and Xu Lan had a good relationship.
One is her biological daughter, and the other is her husband's daughter. It is not easy to be a stepmother. She actually looks at Xu Yan's face a bit.
Although Xu Yan never made things difficult for them in the past, Xu Yan was already over ten years old when she married into this family.
She could feel Xu Yan's rejection of her, and she couldn't think of any strategies. She just wanted to exchange sincerity for sincerity.
She doesn't expect anything, she just hopes to raise her daughter well.
Fortunately, life was not as sad as she imagined, especially this time, Xu Yan's attitude towards them when she came back.
It made her feel like she could see the moonlight when the clouds cleared.
