Heal the King

Tao Han doesn't know much about the "Spring Festival Gala". His impression can be traced back to elementary school and junior high school. At that time, everyone sat around in front of the TV at night, and the adults played mahjong. He could only watch colorful people dancing on TV. .

But sometimes when Chen Jue gave Xu Yiqing a lot of money, he would stretch out five fingers at the beginning, and he almost missed others: "The male god has been to the Spring Festival Gala five times!! Five times!!"

Five times, it seems like something very remarkable.

After hearing Gao Gao mention it again, Tao Han felt that this seemed to be a really great thing.

He glanced at Xu Yiqing, and thought of his visit to Yingshimei Entertainment Company in the days when he came back from Chongqing.

A few days ago, he rebuilt the organizational framework of this company, screened out some minor details, and basically contacted the other company's contacts on the grounds of cleaning up the company from the inside out.

His feeling was that the other party was extremely cautious.

However, it is not difficult to guess that it is not difficult to guess that the exposure of the artist's drug use is somewhat affected by public opinion. It is normal to be cautious, but Tao Han only needs to do a little research, and he will find that such a big thing as drug use really has little effect to their number.

In his groping, he finally found a magazine that is a paper media.

The magazine had already closed early years ago, Tao Han couldn’t find out even if he wanted to inquire about it, and he himself too, as long as he thinks of the premise of “Chinese New Year is coming”, it seems that the whole person will switch to the holiday mode in a second.

So this matter has been shelved for the time being.

Sometimes he also doubts himself, whether he will give up directly in this kind of clueless groping one day, everyone is worse than the years, and nothing happens.

But seeing Xu Yiqing bowing his head and thinking about the sadness at that moment, he made up his mind again, no matter what, whether he could find it or not, he wanted to accompany Xu Yiqing to climb back to the peak again.

……

Xu Yiqing brought back quite a lot of things, Tao Han and him did not tidy them up until evening.Gao Gao brought the food, and also gave them Spring Festival couplets and blessings.

So the two of them stood in the kitchen, one on the left and the other on the right, and began to choose and wash vegetables.

"When will Auntie come tomorrow?" Tao Han asked.

"Before lunch." Xu Yiqing said, "She can't get up to eat breakfast, especially these two days, going out to play mahjong every day until midnight."

"Pay attention to your body." Tao Han said, "Every day is too hard."

"I really hope to find someone to take care of her quickly." Xu Yiqing sighed, "Why is there no one she likes?"

"Son is so good, of course no one would be pleasing to the eye." Tao Han said, "You see, I followed you at the age of 14, who will be pleasing to the eye in the future."

Xu Yiqing smiled and shook his head, turned on the faucet and washed his hands.

Tao Han came over: "It's you, the entertainment industry is full of beautiful and handsome people, haven't you ever been tempted by others?"

"..." Xu Yiqing rubbed the towel left and right to wipe his hands, "No."

"Really?" Tao Han said, "Has anyone ever chased you?"

Xu Yiqing thought about it seriously, hung up the towel, and supported the cooking table with one hand: "...the name is hidden, there must be so many."

"Tsk."

"What are you talking about?" Xu Yiqing turned to look at him, "Don't you have any female students who have a crush on you?"

"Okay, stop the topic." Tao Han made a stop gesture.

Xu Yiqing smiled and took a breath: "Our No.12 has been here."

"Happy early years to you, Mr. Xu." Tao Han put his arms around his waist and kissed him.

The next day, in Shanghai, where there is basically no New Year flavor, the streets are empty.Xu Yiqing and Tao Han were in the yard, first pasting the couplets on the door and the blessing on the door.After posting, Xu Yiqing, who was helping him with gestures from behind, looked around and said, "I don't think it fits well."

"I also think it doesn't fit well." Tao Han said, "Why don't we pick it off."

"Farewell, it's a bit of a Chinese New Year atmosphere." Xu Yiqing rubbed his arms, "Go in quickly, it's so cold outside."

When it was almost lunch time, Tao Han's parents came first.Tao Li and Chang Xiuwan stood at the door with big bags and small bags, and Tao Han went to open the door for them. When the three of them walked through the aisle, Chang Xiuwan praised: "This place is beautiful, this place is so beautiful, with Qing I chose a good place, oh, there is a yard, oh, this couplet is so beautiful!!"

Tao Han's forehead twitched, thinking that no matter how ugly something is, there are still people who appreciate it.

Xu Yiqing stood at the door waiting for them, saw them coming, and smiled to greet them: "Auntie, Happy New Year."

"As for my aunt, correct it every year." Chang Xiuwan patted his arm, "Yiqing, why are you so thin?"

"It's thin!" Tao Li looked at him with his glasses on the side, "Did Tao Han bully you!"

"That can't be done." Tao Han pushed the two of them into the house, "Go in, I'm freezing to death."

Xu Yiqing brought them two cups of hot tea, saw Chang Xiuwan took off her down jacket, revealing a Chinese-style cheongsam underneath, and said with a smile: "Mom, the cheongsam is so pretty."

"Ling Fa?" Chang Xiuwan immediately stood up with beaming brows.

"I bought it specially for Chinese New Year." Tao Li added.

Tao Han brought fruit, and the TV was turned on in the warm room, and the four of them sat in a row chatting.

Tao Han's parents are both intellectuals. His mother is a music teacher at school, and his father is the teaching director. They should retire in two years.When Xu Yiqing was in primary school, Chang Xiuwan taught him. Tao Han used to coax her by saying, look, you are both the first teacher of a celebrity and the mother-in-law of a celebrity. What are you not satisfied with?

Knowing that they couldn't hug their grandson, the two finally looked away.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Tao Han was cooking dumplings in the kitchen when he heard a commotion outside.He probably knew that it was Xu Yiqing's mother Su Hong who had come, so he quickly dried his hands and walked out.

Su Hong is in her fifties, she doesn't look old at all, and she maintains a good figure. She wears delicate makeup and red lips. She has fair skin and no gray hair. Xu Yiqing's beauty is all inherited from her mother's genes. As soon as she stood in the living room, Tao Han felt his eyes light up.

Xu Yiqing said before that her mother worked in the Shanghai Opera Troupe when she was young, and she had a good voice. Later, she married her brother from the same school. After having him, she broke up because of personality differences.

It was Su Hong who brought him up little by little.

So because of this, compared with a gentle mother like Chang Xiuwan, Su Hong has an indescribable aura and strength. When Xu Yiqing and Tao Han came out to them, Su Hong held the clothes-cutting long feet, hit them both ten times before they stopped.Moreover, Tao Han could feel that Su Hong still had some grudges against him.

It's no wonder, who would want the excellent cabbage that I brought up to be raped by my pig.So Tao Han is sometimes a little afraid of her.

"Auntie." Tao Han went over to call for someone to help her take off her woolen coat.

"Hanhan." Su Hong sized him up a few times and said with a smile, "I called you to come to our house for dinner before, why didn't you come?"

"You asked me to blame you before you sat down." Tao Han gave her water, "Can I apologize to you first?"

"It's late." Su Hong said, "I noticed that you look different. Why are you so tall now? Was it this tall before?"

Xu Yiqing sat and chatted with them in the living room, and also took them on a tour of their home, while Tao Han took out the dumplings in the kitchen.They all follow the principle of eating casually at noon on New Year's Eve, and the New Year's Eve dinner is the serious business.So the chopping board and cooking counter in the kitchen are full of dishes that will be used at night.

Su Hong looked around and kowtowed the melon seeds with her hand: "I won't do anything at night. Hanhan told your parents not to do it either. The two of you will cook the dishes on this table. I'll see what tricks you can come up with. "

"You underestimate me too." Xu Yiqing put his arms around Su Hong and patted her on the shoulder.

"You know how to cook? You know how to cook and you have lost so much weight. I don't know why you thought you were doing it." Su Hong threw the melon seed skins into the trash can, turned around and went out of the kitchen to eat dumplings, "You two also come here eat."

Tao Han glanced at her back, couldn't help pressing against Xu Yiqing's chest and asked, "Your mother is in a good mood today, and she doesn't make things difficult for me."

"What's the matter, you still want her to make things difficult for you? You are Stockholm."

"..." Tao Han moved a little further away from him, "Is this how the word is used?"

"Whether it is or not, take out the dumplings now." Xu Yiqing said and stuffed two plates of dumplings into Tao Han's hands.

……

In the evening, a table of five people gathered around the table to eat a steaming New Year's Eve dinner.

Tao Han and Xu Yiqing were in a hurry all afternoon, and finally Tao Li went in to help out. Su Hong and Chang Xiuwan chatted outside eating melon seeds, discussed their clothes, and planned to go shopping together.

A table of hard dishes is on the table, and there is a small steaming hot pot. Everyone toasts to celebrate the new year and celebrate the new year.

While the steam was rising, Tao Han lowered his head and took a sip of the wine, suddenly feeling the warmth from his stomach to his throat and heart.

"Our family has never celebrated the New Year like this before." Xu Yiqing took a sip, his eyes circled around, and fell softly on Tao Han.

Like a home.Tao Han thought, no, they are one family.

"Who did this?" Chang Xiuwan stretched out her chopsticks, "Don't talk, Lao Tao, let us guess."

Su Hong picked up a piece of fish, stuffed another mouthful of meat, chewed it in his mouth, pointed at the fish and said, "This is delicious."

"Is the fish made of green?" Chang Xiuwan asked.

"Yes, the braised pork is made by Tao Han." Xu Yiqing said, not forgetting to add, "It's the first time I'm making it, the saltiness is just right."

"The fish is still delicious." Su Hong picked up another fish with chopsticks, "Not bad, son."

Tao Han paused for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed by this sentence.

His parents didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this sentence, and they continued to chat and laugh with Su Hong. He suddenly felt that he was a little too sensitive, and quickly took two more bites of food.

Su Hong has always been relentless when it comes to praising Xu Yiqing, and she also likes to teach Tao Han to learn more from Xu Yiqing.Tao Han responded, feeling really embarrassed and uncomfortable by the sudden lesson in his heart, he felt that he could hear it, and Xu Yiqing probably understood it too, as expected, after Su Hong praised Xu Yiqing for the third time When it was good, Xu Yiqing gently pinched Tao Han's leg under the dining table.

Tao Han hurriedly shook his hand to indicate that it was okay, and thought to himself that if he was a little girl, with such a powerful mother-in-law, how would the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be after marriage?

Fortunately, this wave of small episodes did not dilute the festive atmosphere, and Tao Han didn't take it seriously. It was almost eight o'clock, and the Spring Festival Gala was about to begin.

Tao Han ran to the kitchen and saw Xu Yiqing washing the dishes, he reached out to pick up the two dishes, but Xu Yiqing stopped him.

"Go and cut the fruit. There is still ready-made sugar water in the pot. Take a few bowls and serve it to the mothers."

"it is good."

"Hey stop." Xu Yiqing said suddenly.

"Huh?" Tao Han looked back at him, Xu Yiqing had water in his hands, so he could only wrap his arms around his waist, "My mother can't talk with her head, so don't take it to heart."

"What do I care about." Tao Han kissed him, "Hurry up and wash the dishes, sir."

As Tao Han said, he cut the fruit, put it in the fruit plate, and carefully divided it into small pieces, and inserted a toothpick for them to take easily.The sugar water and fruit went out, Chang Xiuwan tugged on Tao Han's sleeve: "Hey, don't be too busy, ask Yiqing to watch TV."

"Immediately." Tao Han said.

It so happened that Su Hong went to the bathroom, and when she came back, she made a detour to the kitchen.Xu Yiqing was washing the dishes in the kitchen, and Su Hong yelled in a low voice as soon as she entered the door: "Why do you wash the dishes?"

"Otherwise." Xu Yiqing rolled up his sleeves, stretched his hand into the foam-filled pots and pans, and wiped them with a sponge.

"Look at this skill, it's quite proficient." Su Hong smiled, "Why, you do these things at home every day."

Tao Han happened to be entering the kitchen from the outside, when he heard these words.

"What is this?" Xu Yiqing said helplessly.

"Have I ever asked you to wash the dishes at home? You are so diligent when you wash the dishes outside. You have been my baby since you were a child. How come you have been in love for so many years and started to help others wash the dishes for you."

"No." Xu Yiqing wiped the plate with a dry cloth, and lowered his voice, "Mom, what's the matter with you, it's just washing the dishes? Is this a big deal? You still talk about people like that at the dinner table, and you're not afraid of other people's feelings." uncomfortable."

"He asked you to mop the floor and ride on your head. It's true that you are not as good as him in the novel! I have fed you so thin for a year, and seeing you so skinny makes me want to have a heart attack, oh Why do I have to wash the dishes by hand when raising a baby?"

"He is also my baby." Xu Yiqing wiped his hands, and his tone seemed a little stiff, "Why should I let him wash the dishes?"

"You!" Su Hong seemed agitated by this sentence, "What's wrong with you, your mother, I'm helping you talk."

Tao Han felt that these two people couldn't stop if they didn't go in, so he quickly pretended to just come in, and took a dry cloth and started to wipe the dishes calmly: "Have you finished washing?"

"Soon." Xu Yiqing said.

"Auntie, go sit down first, we'll come here." Tao Han said with a confused smile.

"Don't be too busy." Xu Yiqing elbowed him, "Go with the elders."
