Rebirth 07 Becomes the First Internet Celebrity.

"In addition to the large cosmetic cases that need to be shipped out by logistics, my store now sends out one to two hundred packages per day by express delivery alone." Liu Qinglin said this with confidence and pride in his tone.

Looking at Jiang Xue's expression, it was an expression that seemed to be asking for praise and compliments.

Jiang Xue received the signal and immediately praised him in an exaggerated tone: "Brother, you have made rapid progress."

"Your previous job as a barber really held you back."

"You are really amazing. You are self-taught and have a great talent for business."

"You're worthy of being my brother, awesome." Liu Qinglin felt a little embarrassed by her praise, but the smile that couldn't be concealed on the corners of his mouth also showed that he was very pleased with Jiang Xue's praise.

After handing over the express, Chen Hua entered the room and saw Jiang Xue praising Liu Qinglin. He said with a bit of disdain, "You two siblings are really the best at flattering each other that I've ever seen. The day before yesterday, he called to praise you, and today you praised him back."

Jiang Xue also smiled embarrassedly.

"By the way, are you all done with your work? We are going to eat hotpot, right? Hurry up, I'm hungry." Chen Hua urged.

"Where is Yu Juan?" Jiang Xue asked after looking around.

"She went home early to marinate the meat. She said that marinating it in advance would make it more flavorful so we can eat it directly later. She should be back soon. I'll call and ask." Before Chen Hua got through on the phone, he saw Yu Juan coming in with an umbrella.

When he saw Jiang Xue, his eyes lit up.

"You're here. The snow is getting heavier. How are we going to buy vegetables? Should we go to the supermarket or the vegetable market?"

"I saw an advertisement and there's a large supermarket opening over at the Central Plaza. Let's go there and buy some goods," Jiang Xue suggested.

"It's a bit far." Liu Qinglin said.

The mall is three or four kilometers away from them.

"Let's take a taxi. Riding an electric scooter or a motorcycle in this cold weather is simply a crime." Jiang Xue said.

"I just rode here wearing gloves, and now my hands are almost numb from the cold. I don't remember S City's winter being this cold, but it feels especially cold this year."

"Here's my cup to keep you warm." After hearing what Yu Juan said, Chen Hua handed his hand-warming glass cup to Yu Juan.

"Thank you." Yu Juan took it.

"Let's go. Chen Hua, go to the intersection and hail a taxi and ask them to come in closer." Liu Qinglin instructed.

The four of them took a taxi. When Jiang Xue got in, she looked at the greenery and trees covered with snow, and suddenly some vague memories came to her mind.

It seems that this year, there was a large-scale natural disaster of ice and snow, and the south ushered in the coldest winter in 30 years.

Jiang Xue only had a vague impression of these memories. She only remembered that it snowed heavily that year, and that Uncle Jiang went south to work and did not come back until New Year's Eve.

Stuck at the train station.

Aunt Jiang, Grandma Jiang, and even Father Jiang have been worried and anxious for the whole year because Uncle Jiang was trapped. They never smiled.

Not only her family, but many people from the same village who work outside their hometown find it particularly difficult to return home.

Or never came back at all.

The news was full of reports of disasters in various places, and calls for migrant workers not to return to their hometowns and celebrate the New Year where they are. However, the Chinese people are particularly obsessed with going home for the New Year. After so many years, Jiang Xue still remembers the scenes in the news of long traffic jams on highways, the crowded Spring Festival travel rush, and train stations packed with people.

Speaking of 08, in addition to the snowstorm and financial crisis at the beginning of the year, there was also the earthquake in May.

In the face of natural disasters and catastrophes, even if she was reborn, the most she could do was to ensure that she or the people around her were not in danger. For those who lost their lives in the disaster, it seemed that she could do nothing.

Thinking of these, my good mood for eating hotpot disappeared and I felt depressed.

"Jiang Xue, are you carsick?" Yu Juan asked Jiang Xue, who had been staring out the window in a daze since getting on the car, with concern.

"Yeah." Jiang Xue nodded.

The earthquake was still a few months away, but the snowstorm that followed had almost paralyzed the roads home during the Chinese New Year. Thinking of this, Jiang Xue asked the four people in the car: "Are you going back home for the Chinese New Year?"

"I definitely won't go back. I have no home to return to." Liu Qinglin was the first to speak.

"I won't go back either. I am homeless too." Yu Juan also answered dejectedly.

"Me too, I'm staying in City S to celebrate the New Year." Jiang Xue said.

After the three of them finished speaking, they looked at Chen Hua, the only one who didn't speak.

"I have to go back. My grandparents are waiting for me to go back for the New Year. But when I went to buy tickets these two days, there were so many people lining up that I didn't queue. I wonder if there will be fewer people as the New Year approaches." He has been living with his grandparents since his parents passed away. His grandmother has called him several times to ask when he will go back.

"There will be more and more people. If you want to go back, it's best to go in the next two days. Otherwise, it will be more difficult as the year comes to an end. I saw on the news that the weather may get colder and colder, with continuous snowfall. At that time, it may affect transportation."

"It's the end of the year and I can't leave because it's busy."

"If it gets any colder, the express delivery will probably stop early. You'd better go back first." Liu Qinglin said.

Chen Hua thought for a while and said, "I will go to the train station tomorrow to see if I can buy a ticket. If I can't buy a ticket, I won't go back and will spend the New Year with you."

Actually, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t go back.

This way his grandparents wouldn't have to spend the New Year alone with him.

Then on New Year's Day, his grandmother looked at him and thought of his dead parents, and couldn't help wiping away tears.

If he doesn't go back to his grandparents, he can go to his uncle's house, where the whole family can be happy and surrounded by children and grandchildren.

Thinking this way, he didn't have to go back this year. He could go back after the New Year or in the spring when the weather would be better.

"I've decided. I won't go back." Chen Hua said with determination.

After dinner, I will call my grandparents and tell them that they can’t buy tickets.

Jiang Xue planned to let the people in the two studios take a holiday at the end of January, so changes would have to be made.

She will ask tomorrow and ask the studio to stop accepting orders and prepare to go back home for the New Year to avoid the Spring Festival travel rush and the snow disaster.

As for the earthquake that will happen soon, she may not be able to make any historical changes, nor does she have the ability to do so, but she now has two accounts with a good number of fans, and she may be able to do something within her ability to slightly change the fate of some people.

Jiang Xue also has preliminary plans for what to do next year.

No longer bothering herself with trivial matters, when the car arrived at the supermarket, she cheered up, not getting depressed, and choosing ingredients for the hot pot with a few people.

They bought not only ingredients, but also fruit drinks, beer and snacks. They bought two carts.

After taking a taxi home again, Yu Juan rushed into the kitchen and asked several people to pick and wash vegetables.

The three of them worked together, and soon the table was filled with side dishes. Yu Juan brought out a few pots of meat that she had marinated in advance, "Try it. I've had it once at a hot pot restaurant before, but this is the first time I've marinated it at home."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hua immediately picked up a piece of beef and put it into the pot. As soon as it came into contact with the boiling soup base, the beef quickly shrank and turned pink.

He gently stirred the beef with chopsticks to cook it evenly until it was cooked through.

I picked it up and put it in a bowl, dipped it in some sauce, and then put it in my mouth.

The beef is very tender and melts in your mouth. The aroma and spiciness of the sauce burst in your mouth, and Chen Hua has an expression of endless aftertaste.
