After negotiating the house price and signing the contract, Xu Chengle went to the bank to apply for a housing mortgage loan, with a down payment of 40 yuan and the balance paid in installments over 20 years.

During this period, Xu Chengle's money from selling the house was also remitted to the account one after another.

In December, it began to snow in Beijing.

"Kunlun Ji" is scheduled to be broadcast on a certain line satellite TV during the Spring Festival.

Xu Chengle received the recent schedule from Cheng Xiao, and in a few days the leading actors of the crew will go to Zhejiang to record a variety show for publicity.

On the day of the recording, Xu Chengle arrived early and hadn't seen Chen Moge for a long time. The two chatted and laughed quietly in the dressing room, chatting about the recent situation.

It wasn't until the beginning that Feng Baoer was late.It was still a big fight, a group of people rushed in like a gust of wind, hugged Feng Baoer in the middle, sat down without stopping and started doing makeup and hair, and confronted the script with the director.

The two-hour program was recorded for more than five hours, and when it ended, it was already late at night.Several people were a bit overwhelmed, tired, hungry and sleepy.

I found a nearby restaurant that was still open to eat something to fill my stomach.Feng Baoer put down her chopsticks after taking two or three mouthfuls, watching them almost gobble it up, "I have an early morning flight tomorrow, how about you?"

Chen Moge swallowed the food in his mouth: "Me too, the plane at six o'clock in the morning."

Xu Chengle ate vaguely and said, "I'll stay here for two days to go shopping."

Feng Baoer: "Where are you going?"

"Buy some specialty products. Isn't the Jinhua ham here very famous?"

"Yeah." Feng Baoer stared at the dishes on the plate, put a small chopstick in her mouth, and suddenly thought of something, "Then buy some for me and send it to my parents."

"Yes." Xu Chengle looked at Chen Moge: "Do you want to buy some for the family too?"

Chen Moge: "Okay, if it's convenient for you."

The next day, Xu Chengle went straight to Hangzhou Science and Technology Park and found a company specializing in solar photovoltaic power generation systems.

The person who received him was Manager Yao from the company's product department. After asking about his needs, he gave him a brochure of the company's products.And introduce to him the company's latest product - wind and solar hybrid power generation system.This system makes up for the shortcomings of photovoltaic power generation to a certain extent-there must be the sun.

Pushed the glasses on the bridge of the nose.He was wearing a pair of plain glasses with large frames today, covering almost half of his face.Very heavy, a little uncomfortable, "Is this device resistant to low temperature?"

Manager Yao smiled: "The lowest temperature in Beijing is about ten or twenty degrees below zero. Our system has been installed by customers in Northeast China and Harbin. It's no problem at all."

Xu Chengle nodded, relieved, and talked about another request. His house was a rough house, and he hoped that the other company could find a decoration company here to be responsible for the house's refurbishment, and complete the circuit laying with this system.

After the issues were negotiated, the two parties signed a contract, and the start time was set in the next year.

After solving another important matter on his mind, Xu Chengle felt that the cold north wind blowing in front of him seemed to be kissing his cheeks, and his walking pace became much lighter, as if a spring was installed on the sole of his shoes.

He searched for a store with a good reputation on the Internet, waited in line for half an hour, bought a bunch of Jinhua ham and special products promoted by the salesperson, divided them into three parts, one was sent to Cheng Xiao, and the other two were sent to Feng Baoer and Chen Moge send to his address.

……

Xu Chengle returned to Beijing the next day, and when he got off the plane, Cheng Xiao called: "Why did you send so many things home?"

"Hey." Xu Chengle scratched the back of his head.

"You bought five hind legs of such a big pig, and just carrying them upstairs exhausted your sister-in-law."

"Isn't it just over a month before Chinese New Year? I'll send you two to your father-in-law's house." Xu Cheng said happily.

"Okay, what's the matter, your sister-in-law calls you to come home for dinner tonight..."

In the evening, when Xu Chengle arrived at Cheng Xiao's house, the last dish was almost ready.There were trays of dishes on the table, filled with steam, half of them were Cheng Xiao's favorite food, and the other half were his favorite food.It was icy and snowy outside, the wind was blowing, the lights in the house were warm and warm, and An Ran was busy in the kitchen, not his sister-in-law, but Cheng Xiao, who was so happy to beat him up, made him feel like he was home in an instant.

After eating, Xu Chengle asked Cheng Xiao in a low voice while An Ran was cleaning up in the kitchen: "Hey, brother, when are you two going to have a baby? We've been married for more than five years, right?"

"Cough, cough, cough." Cheng Xiao might as well be asked by him, saliva choked his throat, and stared at him: "What do you mean?"

Xu Chengle calculated the time in his mind: "If you want to have a baby, let's have one as soon as possible in the next two years."

"Isn't it because I haven't saved enough money for milk powder?" Cheng Xiaohu said in a voice, and then some men were annoyed that their dignity was questioned: "No, I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? Am I your brother or are you my mother?"

"Of course you're my brother." Xu Chengle was amused by Cheng Xiao's reaction, and asked him about stock trading.Cheng Xiao was still dubious, Xu Chengle explained a lot of truths earnestly, An Ran sat by the side and listened silently for a while, and helped Xu Chengle persuade her husband: "I think Lele is very reliable in doing things, and he won't either. If it hurts you, just try it."

At last, he was persuaded to be tempted. He took out 10 yuan and opened a securities account online that night.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, the stock market ushered in another wave of adjustments, and the stock index fell by more than 200 points.According to the analysis of financial experts, many institutions sold stocks before the festival, returned funds, and carried out year-end settlement.Taking advantage of this wave of decline, Xu Chengle made a decisive move and bought two leading stocks that he had long been optimistic about.He emptied all his belongings, including his work savings, all the money from selling the house, and Cheng Xiao's 10 yuan.

He planned to persuade Cheng Xiao to invest more money when the stock market showed signs of gaining momentum.

Another important thing for Xu Chengle these days is the launch of "Kunlun Ji".Cheng Xiao seemed particularly nervous. Every night while watching the show, he paid attention to the ratings. He didn’t count on himself, and even sent him screenshots. As a result, when the prime time of the show was on at night, his WeChat kept ringing, “The ratings It has risen again." "It has broken through a new high." "It is ranked first today." And so on...

He knew it a long time ago, so he was very calm.

The day before New Year's Eve, Cheng Xiao invited him to go home with him for a New Year's Eve dinner.Since his mother passed away, Cheng Xiao would invite him every New Year's Eve, and he followed him in previous years. Although he regarded Cheng Xiao and his wife as brothers and sisters-in-law, when their elders were all around and the family was reunited, he still felt It's a little bit out of place.

This year he refused, and when he received a call from Cheng Xiao, he smiled and said, "When you were born, I didn't want to be a shield."

As a result, as soon as he hung up the phone, Feng Baoer's phone came in and asked him where he was celebrating the new year. He said of course he was at home, otherwise where else could he be.

Feng Baoer was very happy when she heard it: "Let's live together then, I'm going to perform at the Spring Festival Gala, so I can't go back to Shanghai."

"Where's your Zhou Xian?"

"He's filming outside."

"That's fine." Xu Chengle agreed, and he didn't want to eat the New Year's Eve dinner alone in the days when the whole world was having fun with his family.

On New Year's Eve, Xu Chengle got up early. After finishing her daily exercise, she cleaned the inside and outside of the house, and went to the supermarket to buy fresh ingredients.

Once the preparations are done, the ingredients are just waiting to be cooked.

The hour hand pointed to 07:30 in the evening. He put on glasses and a mask, made a little disguise, and set off to pick up Feng Baoer at the entrance of the TV station.Since "The Story of Kunlun" hit the air, he is no longer a little transparent in the entertainment industry. His Weibo fans have increased from more than 100 million to 700 million. Cheng Xiao specifically told him to keep a low profile when going out.

Leaving the warm room, the outside was like an ice cellar, and the wind was biting cold. He was so cold that he just wanted to turn around and flee back to the house.The weather forecast said that the minimum temperature today is minus 25 degrees, which is approaching the lowest temperature record in the region for decades.

It's time for reunion dinner, and the windows of every household are full of lively and festive lights.It made the street quieter.There were hardly any cars driving by on the wide street, and the sounds in Xu Chengle's ears, other than the sound of the wind, were the sounds of tires rolling over snow.The roadside lights looked dim in the cold air, printed on the snow and reflected in the car windows.

There are many armed police standing guard at the entrance of the TV station.It was just after eight o'clock, and Feng Baoer was the opening show, one of a lot of people, he didn't have to wait too long.

There was icicles hanging on the tree fork outside the car window, the surroundings were completely silent, the heater was turned on in the car, it was like another world, Xu Chengle waited for her slowly while swiping Weibo.

Sure enough, not long after, Feng Baoer ran out with makeup on, holding a heater in his hand.While closing the car door, he urged him to leave quickly and was about to faint from hunger.

Back home, Feng Baoer went to the bathroom to remove her make-up, while Xu Chengle was preparing meals in the kitchen.Soon the dishes came to the table, grilled wings brushed with cumin, baked scallops with cheese, baked egg pancakes, boiled chowder soup, fried beef bamboo shoots, steamed glutinous rice balls...

He took another bottle of juice from the refrigerator, and said, "Hey, we are lonely, so we won't open wine."

Feng Baoer came out after removing her make-up, and couldn't wait to grab a piece of chicken wing: "Let's go, it's okay, I won't do anything to you, I'm already old."

"What's inside...whether he's worried," Xu Chengle rolled his eyes, and changed the bottle of red wine: "Just tell him that I'm gay."

With such a nervous girlfriend, he mourned for Lao Zhou for a minute.

"Oh...what?" Feng Baoer almost dropped the chicken wing bone in his mouth: "Really?"

"Why did you lie to me?" Xu Chengle was also hungry, and he ate the vegetables, um, the taste was good, and the omelets were baked very well, only a little worse than Uncle Qiu in the farmhouse.

"Then I told Lao Zhou."

"Say it."

Feng Baoer sat next to Xu Chengle, hooked his neck, and took a selfie with her mobile phone: "Look at the camera."

"Crack" freezes.In the photo, Feng Baoer smiled like a flower, Xu Chengle's mouth was full of egg pancakes, his cheeks were bulging, and he stared at the camera expressionlessly.

Feng Baoer took another picture of the table full of dishes.Send both photos to Zhou Xian, chatting on WeChat while eating.

Zhou Xian: The food looks good, takeaway?

Feng Baobao: Made with small oranges, it’s super delicious.

Feng Baobao: Oh, let me tell you something.

Feng Baobao: Xiao Chengzi just told me that he is gay.

Zhou Xian: Oh...

Feng Baobao: Oh?

Zhou Xian: Actually, I'm pretty relieved, I'm just a little bit jealous, now I don't need to be jealous anymore.

Zhou Xian: Happy New Year Baby [Blow Kiss jpg]

Feng Baobao: Hey, happy new year! Mua!

The Spring Festival Gala on TV is in full swing, and the hosts are saying auspicious blessings.Feng Baoer picked up the wine glass in her hand, looked at Xu Chengle with a rare seriousness and said, "Come on, let's have a toast, toast your New Year's Eve dinner, and wish you a new year as popular as mine!"

Xu Chengle picked up the cup and touched her lightly: "Well, I also wish you to do more things you want to do in the New Year."

The countdown begins on the TV... 5,4,3,2,1, 2021, [-], [-], [-], the bell strikes zero, and [-] officially kicks off...

Xu Chengle thought sadly, will 2023 be far behind?
