Chapter 307 Universal Formula Silver Flower
"Then what did she see? Are we in the trailer?" Zhao Xiaojing suddenly became nervous.
“No, the trailer is a mixed clip, with some footage from every city cut in. But there are quite a lot of shots of our store, with Dong Dongdong dancing in the store and Sister Qing singing, including the part where Wu Lesheng cried!
My mom was even saying how lively they were while having dinner, and my heart was beating like crazy, afraid our faces would show up in the next second. But luckily, they were all celebrities and there was no shot of us, otherwise I really don’t know what to say.
"That's good, that's good. Fortunately, the trailer is short, so we won't be excluded. So, is there any information about when it will be broadcast?"
"Next week, on the tenth night of the Lunar New Year, the first episode will be in Jiangcheng! I wonder if our store will be the first episode." Su Yuchen's mouth tightened, looking quite melancholy. "I forgot this show is also on TV, and my mom watches it too. And even if she doesn't watch this variety show, what if my scene appears on the air and the other villagers see it and tell them? What if they tell them? Oh well."
"Let's come clean tonight. Tomorrow is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. If you don't tell me now, you'll have to go to 'work'. There will be no chance to talk anymore."
"Yeah, my mom asked us today what time we're leaving tomorrow." Su Yuchen's scalp tingled.
"Then what did you say?" Zhao Xiaojing hadn't expected this. She had been hoping that the show would bring in traffic.
"I said I'm driving anyway, so any time is fine. I'm just going with it. Why make porridge? What am I doing?" Zhao Xiaojing had already started soaking rice. Su Yuchen looked around and saw that the kitchen had everything.
"Mushroom, lettuce, and ham porridge? And two more stir-fried vegetables?"
"Porridge will be fine. You can't cook any vegetables. My mother will be out working in five minutes. Just wait and see."
Two minutes later, Su's mother came into the kitchen with a kettle under the blessing of Su Yuchen's magic mouth. She grabbed Zhao Xiaojing, who had just covered the pot to cook porridge, and drove her to the main room to rest. Su Yuchen was also driven back to accompany her.
Not long after, Su's father returned home and happened to be drafted by Su's mother. He worked in the kitchen until dinner time.
After dinner, the four people who had been busy all day sat together on the sofa. As usual, Su's mother or Su Yuchen would call for them to play cards, and then they would watch TV while playing cards. But today, the four of them were surprisingly unanimous and no one mentioned it. Instead, they all fell silent.
"Yinhua came back in the evening." Father Su broke the silence first and said something without beginning or ending.
"Oh, she must have had a fight with Gangzi again, otherwise why would she run back home during the New Year's Day! Didn't you ask her?" said Su's mother.
"No, I ran into her when I was coming back. I didn't have the child with me. I was trying to hide, but she saw me and ran away. I could see from a distance that her eyes were swollen."
"Oh, what a sin! It's also Yinhua's fault for not being ambitious enough. She has no desire to earn money to support herself. She has to endure such humiliation during the New Year."
"Who says it's not true! For a girl, it's best if she can make a living. If that doesn't work, she should have a stable job. A job means security. After all, everyone can be unreliable one day." Father Su glanced at Su Yuchen and said in a louder voice.
"What are you two talking about? You met each other when you came back. You didn't talk about it while cooking, but now you are talking to me?" Su Yuchen gave Su's father a look of disdain with his eyes that saw through everything.
"...How can you talk to us like that? You're so disrespectful!"
"...Oh, your dad and I are worried about you. We're afraid that you won't work hard after you get married, just like Yinhua. She at least has a junior high school education. How come she doesn't even want to do a job?" Su's mother was not embarrassed when she was exposed. She turned around and muttered to Su Yuchen.
"It's okay that Yinhua only has a junior high school education, but you at least have a bachelor's degree. If you end up like her, all those years of studying will be wasted. Where will your mother and I put our faces? Forget about that, but how are you going to live your life in the future?"
"Look, your current job doesn't look that great. You work overtime every day, and you don't make much more than your dad. What if you..."
"No! Wait a minute!" Su Yuchen's eyes widened, silently interrupting their mumbling. "You two are using the same rhetoric as the ones used to urge marriage two years ago. They all start with 'Yinhua' and compare it to 'Yinhua'. It seems like 'Yinhua' is a universal formula, and you don't even need to change it?"
Su's mother had just gotten into the mood and was speaking fluently when she was choked by Su Yuchen's words. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.
Father Su on the side frowned into a 川 shape. He tried to speak several times, but was choked by Su Yuchen and didn't know what to say.
Zhao Xiaojing continued to play dead, drinking tea, very calmly. She had been at the Su family for five days, and the current situation was normal. Everything was normal, except that this TV show was a bit old-fashioned. What era was it from? Why was she still tearing apart Japanese soldiers with her bare hands?
"And I don't understand. You were urging me to get married in the past two years, but what are you urging me to do now? Are you urging me to continue working after getting married? But am I not working now?" Su Yuchen was puzzled.
Father Su was furious and stared at Su Yuchen for a long moment. "You should always have a bit of ambition. You'll be twenty-six after the New Year, and Yinhua is younger than you, so at least she'll be a lesson for you. You should have some ideas about your future plans and how you're going to spend your life, right?"
"I remember what you said last year was that one can't live alone all his life. You will be 25 after the New Year. Yinhua is younger than you and already has children. You must have a goal for what kind of man you want to find. You should start looking, right?" Su Yuchen said, imitating Su's father's tone.
Zhao Xiaojing pursed her lips and stared at the anti-Japanese drama. The protagonist in the drama had infiltrated the enemy's secret base, was now fighting twelve people alone, and had already killed three devils. With a comb spraying in her ear and paper-like devils in front of her, in such a serious moment, trying not to laugh was a virtue.
Father Su stared at Su Yuchen speechlessly again.
"You kid! Your father too..." Mother Su frowned, trying to maintain a serious expression.
"It's for your own good!" Su Yuchen clapped his hands and answered fluently.
Su's mother frowned, as if she wanted to lose her temper but also wanted to laugh. After brewing for a long time, she couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. Su's father silently turned his head towards the door, covered his face with one hand and looked for a long time.
Double kill! A demonic voice rang unconsciously in Zhao Xiaojing's mind.
"That's enough!" After a while, Su's mother calmed down, turned around and twisted Su Yuchen's arm, "You're the only one who knows how to act funny! Listen carefully to what your dad says to you!"
"Oh, then go ahead." Su Yuchen responded obediently.
Upon hearing this, Father Su bowed and stretched out his right hand as if he was going to make sense. As soon as he turned his head to look at Su Yuchen, he saw Su Yuchen with his eyes wide open, listening attentively.
Father Su opened his mouth and closed it again.
My emotions are already incoherent, what else can I say?
"You tell me what you want to say." Father Su gave up and pushed Mother Su.
