New Year’s Eve.
New Year's Eve.
Zhou Yiyang went to the airport first.
"Brother Yang! Did you see me?" Zhang Yiling and Zhang Yingyuan walked out of the aisle of the international flight.
After Zhang Yiling approached, she suddenly covered her mouth, and a hint of surprise and loneliness flashed in her eyes.
Zhang Yingyuan, on the other hand, chuckled, as if he understood everything but didn't say it clearly.
Zhou Yiyang saw Zhang Yiling's performance clearly, but pretended to be nothing happened and held the white and tender little hand tightly in his hand.
Zhang Yiling didn't expect that Zhou Yiyang didn't come to the airport alone to pick her up.
"Teacher," Zhou Yiyang took a step forward, passing Zhang Yiling who was hesitant to speak, and looked directly at Zhang Yingyuan, who was carrying a suitcase. "Why did you suddenly think of bringing Zhang Yiling back for the New Year?"
"It's more fun to be here during the New Year. As for me, I just want to feel the atmosphere. As for her, I don't know, she insisted on coming here."
"Grandpa!" Zhang Yiling was furious. "Don't make me sound like a piece of cake! I'm preparing to make a movie set in my motherland, and I'm currently doing some field research."
"Oh." Zhou Yiyang nodded perfunctorily, taking it as if he believed Zhang Yiling's words. "Then you can take your time to investigate. I'm really looking forward to seeing what China looks like in your filming."
Zhang Yiling walked up to Zhou Yiyang at this time, and finally couldn't suppress her curiosity. She asked in a low voice: "When did you get married?"
Zhou Yiyang narrowed his eyes, his mouth widening. However, Zhang Yiling, completely bewildered, didn't notice. Her mind was a mess. She didn't understand why she was so confused.
"Just last month, we got married in secret, keeping our mouths shut." Zhou Yiyang deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that Zhang Yiling would make this secret public. Seeing this, Zhang Yiling no longer doubted what he said.
She just felt like a flash of lightning, no, a thunder exploded in her head.
There was a loud bang, like a bolt from the blue.
"Really? Really?" Zhang Yiling was stunned. However, Zhang Yingyuan who was walking next to her shook his head, disdainful of his disappointing granddaughter.
"Then you, you have a child out of wedlock?" Zhang Yiling looked at the child Zhou Yiyang was holding and felt something was wrong again: "He looks at least ten years old, right? How could this be your child!"
Xiao Hei looked at the big sister in front of him blankly, not understanding what she said.
When Zhou Yiyang thought Zhang Yiling was about to realize that he was joking, he didn't expect her imagination to be so strong:
"I understand. The girl you're looking for is a divorced young woman with a ten-year-old child! My God, she must be so beautiful that you want to marry her!" After Zhang Yiling and Wang Xingrui became friends, she often asked Wang Xingrui for online articles to read, saying that she wanted to use them to understand China.
It is easy to imagine what kind of novels Wang Xingrui recommended.
"..." Zhou Yiyang coughed forcefully and had to tell the truth: "I was just teasing you. I'm not married! He's a kid I met at the orphanage, his name is Xiao Hei. We hit it off really well, and I wanted to take him with me to celebrate the Spring Festival and watch the Spring Festival Gala."
Xiao Hei's condition stabilized a long time ago, and Luo's mother also tried to find a good family for him.
However, Xiao Hei was unwilling to go anywhere, and the person he talked about most was his brother Zhou.
Mother Luo doesn't mind having one more person in the welfare home. At worst, she can let Xiao Hei take over his job in the future.
When Zhou Yiyang went to the welfare home to visit Mother Luo and the children yesterday, he brought the eager-eyed Xiao Hei to Beijing.
Zhang Yiling was angry at first, but after hearing Xiao Hei's life story, all her emotions turned into pity for Xiao Hei.
"Good boy," she found out that she could finally be a big sister, so happy! "Sister will take you out to play and eat delicious food!"
Xiao Hei nodded. Although he didn't say anything, his actions showed that he accepted Zhang Yiling.
"You're amazing," Zhang Yingyuan praised. "When I first met the four of them, the Moonlight Girls, everyone thought they were just a popular idol girl group. Who would have thought they'd be performing on the Spring Festival Gala now?"
"They are really capable," Zhou Yiyang said modestly, "Teacher, since you think so highly of them, why don't you make a movie for them?"
"I have no problem with that," Zhang Yingyuan smiled. "But it wouldn't be bad for them to film a movie with you! Your sci-fi movie is going to be released tomorrow, right? I heard it's getting very good reviews from the media."
"It still depends on audience feedback," Zhou Yiyang glanced around, spotting the massive billboard outside. "The media is all praising your film. Only after your film is released will they share their true opinions."
Zhang Yiling ignored them and kept teasing Xiao Hei while observing the passers-by.
Everyone was still in a hurry as usual, but they all had smiles on their faces, which was different.
…
At the same time, a small village in the mountain city was bustling with activity.
Wang Xingrui's brother greeted the guests, wiped his sweat, and joked with his uncle, "Uncle, look at all the people here today! This is probably going to be much bigger than my wedding in the future!"
"You're talking nonsense, you little brat!" His uncle gently kicked him on the butt. "Your sister is on the Spring Festival Gala. This is the proudest event for our village. I heard that there will be reporters reporting on it tonight. Look at my outfit, doesn't it look good?"
"Looks good, looks good!" Brother Wang said perfunctorily: "Uncle, you are like an old cucumber painted green, pretending to be young!"
The children watching all burst into laughter, and soon, Brother Wang and his uncle started to wrestle with each other.
Wang Xingrui's parents looked at the neighbors and relatives who had come to congratulate them, and they felt a little unreal. This grand ceremony was even more exaggerated than when their village chief's son was admitted to Aurora University two years ago.
Since Wang Xingrui became a star, everything she has done is incredible in their eyes.
But this time, they were really scared when they performed on the Spring Festival Gala.
In the eyes of this elderly rural couple, the Spring Festival Gala is a show that only big stars and artists can perform on.
And their daughter also got in, which means that their daughter has made it big and their ancestors’ graves are filled with joy!
"Fortunately, we listened to Mr. Zhou and let her persevere."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou has a good vision! If it weren't for him, our family wouldn't be able to live the good life we have now!"
The house was decorated with lights and big red lanterns were hung at the door of every room, exuding an atmosphere of joy inside and out.
They even prepared firecrackers, just waiting for Wang Xingrui to appear on TV, and then they would light the firecrackers to welcome this historic moment.
Everyone in the village had a smiling face. This was definitely the first time they looked forward to the Spring Festival Gala so much.
