Letter from Jeju [Entertainment Circle]

Before the Spring Festival came out, Li Zirong went to pay homage to his mentor, and then talked about his recent situation. After discussing some things, he brought back his thesis.

To be honest, it took her nearly a year for a dissertation. First, she searched for information for it, went to the library all day, then asked and searched many websites, and borrowed various magazines. Use your own understanding and professional knowledge to write.

But in the end, he was beaten back several times, and Li Zirong almost lost his temper.

But although it is a bit sad to come back to revise the thesis again, not everything is frustrating. For example, her little cousin, who finally took a holiday at the company to go back to celebrate the New Year, finally came back from China.

Yixing is doing quite well in China and South Korea, especially in its own country. After getting a Kuaiben, its popularity gradually began to rise, but it is precisely because of this that it has more and more schedules.

The child has a waist injury, and Li Zirong is always worried that he will not be able to survive such a busy schedule.

In order to be able to make his debut, he practiced every day and night during the final assessment days. He is a person who is relatively strong in dance, so such high-intensity exercise is naturally unbearable.

Li Zirong still remembers that late that night, Xiao Yixing called overseas, saying that his card had no money in it and he needed to borrow some money from her. The injury recurred, so I went to the hospital to buy medicine.

He didn't want to call his parents, because all the suffering outside had to be borne by himself. This is the real man and the real grown-up.

At that time, Li Zirong's nose was sour, and he couldn't help but drop the golden peas. This kid, he was working hard in a foreign country for his dream. It's so late, but he still has to bear all the pressure and pain silently. pain.

A few minutes on stage, ten years off stage.

When I first watched Farewell My Concubine, I saw in the movie, those young children, one by one, lined up to practice their voices. If they made a mistake, they would be beaten and scolded by the director of the troupe, and they would be punished to squat in the snow.

That's why Li Zirong feels very sad, but these are all in places that people can't see. Those people only know that they are celebrities, earn a lot of money, and seem to live a glamorous life, so they are jealous and can't help but magnify all of them. Shortcomings.

But the reason why they can come to the present is all because of their persistence, desire for dreams, and strong hearts.

Their company is a well-known strict performing arts company in the entertainment industry, and there are many people in the team. In the past, Li Zirong would never have thought why a group needs so many people. people.

When they first debuted, Yixing and the others lived in the same small dormitory, two people shared a room, and even the bathroom was shared by more than a dozen older boys. Originally, they were exhausted from the schedule. During the waiting period, They couldn't help falling asleep.

But these will pass, and each of us will do things for our own dreams that we may not even believe in.

Sometimes if you don't look back, you won't find out how far you have come.

Li Zirong still remembers that at that time, when Yixing talked about his teammates, there were dimples on his face, and when he talked about that stage, his eyes seemed to be full of stars, shining with unknown The light made her feel envious.

After thinking about it for a while, when Li Zirong came back to his senses, he saw a black car turning in at the intersection, and there was no one on the road here, but the car still parked there and waited for a long time.

Guessing that this is probably the person she was waiting for, Li Zirong stood patiently under the big tree, observing the car, and sure enough, a man wearing a black mask and black woolen hat got out of the car not long after. She can recognize the style at a glance, it must be her little cousin.

Yixing, who was fully armed, also saw her, waved at her from a distance across the road, and then pointed to a shop next door. Li Zirong knew that he meant to go in separately, so he smiled helplessly Nodding his head, he turned and walked over.

Seeing that relatives still have to guard against illegitimate meals, it must be like guerrilla warfare in broad daylight. It is not easy to be a public figure.

The two entered a small restaurant in Chinatown, which was opened by an old acquaintance of Li Zirong's aunt, and the goods were usually picked or shipped from Jeju, so they took good care of Li Zirong.

When Yixing was a trainee, he didn't have much money, so he could only come here to eat a bowl of inexpensive Chinese food that he missed very much during weekend breaks.

The owner of the shop is from Jiangxi. In their words, he is an old watch from Jiangxi, because it is very close to Hunan.

The owner's surname is Liu. He started his own business in South Korea in the early years and opened this small restaurant, but the business is neither good nor bad.

The whole family followed, leaving only the old father and the old mother who did not move here because they missed the big elm tree in their hometown.

Uncle Liu's family has a daughter who is in high school, and Li Zirong seldom sees her, probably because he doesn't come here very often.

Koreans like to eat spicy food, but it is not authentic spicy food, like Qingyang chili pepper, Li Zirong can eat half a plate raw in a minute, because it is a big chili pepper with a bit of sweetness, so for her native Hunan girl, it is possible Not particularly flavorful yet.

For example, Yuanyang hot pot, which has become very popular in Korea recently, contains cumin pepper and many Chinese-style hot pot ingredients. For some Koreans, it is still a bit heavy, so many restaurants cater to the taste here. They have all improved the ingredients.

Just like the fried rice and General Tso’s chicken eaten in the United States will never be the taste in your heart, in order to adapt to local conditions, the chefs will always come up with small seasonings that suit the tastes of the locals, so that they will fall in love with this improved version of Chinese food .

However, Uncle Liu is a stubborn boss. What he stir-fries at home is still used here, because he feels that if it is an improved meal, it is not worthy of its original name.

But it is precisely because of this that many Chinese who come to study or work here will not go to other places after eating authentic Hunan cuisine here, because places like this that retain the original flavor will make people feel There is a taste of home.

"Hey, it's Xiao Yixing and Zirong who are here, happy new year."

Uncle Liu greeted them familiarly. There is no Spring Festival in the lunar calendar, so he also said something auspicious by the way.

"Hello Uncle Liu, happy new year."

After Li Zirong finished speaking, he watched Yixing, who followed him in, put down the backpack behind him, and then took off his mask.

"Hi Uncle Liu, I'm sorry to bother you today, happy new year."

Uncle Liu smiled brightly. Compared with the last time Li Zirong came, it seemed that his temples had a little more gray hair.

"It's not troublesome, is it still the same? I'm going to cook for you two."

His vigorous and resolute demeanor still remained unchanged. After he finished speaking, he turned around and went directly to the back kitchen, leaving the siblings who hadn't seen each other for a long time to catch up.

"I heard that you attended the New Year's Eve party this year, how do you feel?"

"After all, I'm in my own territory. To be honest, I'm still a little nervous, but it's more about pride. Thinking of my parents looking at me in the audience, I want to do better, so that they can be proud .”

There is a small dimple on his face, and when he smiles when he speaks, it will always appear faintly. Li Zirong knew that he was very happy, so he also rolled his eyes.

"Oh, I'm the one who didn't go home. Please calm down your expression. It looks like someone who just came back from mother's warm embrace."

"So I didn't come here to comfort you. I spent all my hard-earned vacations with you old man... By the way..."

As he spoke, he brought over the bag he had put aside. He didn't know what was in it, and it looked heavy.

"Although you didn't go back, the hearts of the elders are on you. I went back to your house. This is what my aunt asked me to bring to you."

The first thing that was taken out of the bag was the beef strips that Li Zirong loved so much. Looking at the jar, she knew that it was definitely Ms. Zhang's secret beef strips, which were not sold in the market at all.

When I was at home, during the summer vacation, she always followed Ms. Zhang to make wine with red grapes and rock sugar, or dried the bought beef and hung it on a bamboo pole to cook the meat for a period of time, and then added Various seasonings finally became this secret beef strips.

Thinking about it now, those scenes where she was dragged out of the quilt and commanded to do this, to do that, are all like frames of beautiful memories, stored in the file named Memories Kill in my mind.

"Ah, my favorite beef strips, what's that?"

Reaching out to grab the jar, she saw the box he carefully took out from the side of the bag, wrapped in layers of bags, like something precious.

"Hey, speaking of this, these are freshly made dumplings specially made for you. They were brought here for you all the way from the other side of the ocean, just to give you a taste of home."

Yixing spoke Mandarin with a slight Changsha accent, and told her how he brought the experience from home. Anyway, Li Zirong had a sore nose and felt the urge to cry.

So Li Zirong, who was moved by his parents and little cousin today, came back from the state of being hidden, and added a new post.
