Although his wife unexpectedly returned to Chengdu from Hong Kong, Yuan Fangguo did not spend much time with her. During this week, except for one afternoon when they went to a cafe and drank coffee for more than an hour, they were basically only together in the evening.
On the one hand, this was related to Yuan Fangguo's rush to prepare for the inspection, and on the other hand, it was related to Song Yiting's celebrity status. With the huge sales of her albums and her consecutive participation in concerts of many Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars, her popularity gradually began to heat up in the mainland. In the past, only a few fans could recognize her when she went out, but this time, at least dozens of times more fans recognized her, asking for her autograph and taking photos with her. Not only did she make her miserable, but even her husband felt distressed after seeing it, fearing that someone would do something bad.
After a few lessons, Song Yiting basically became a recluse. Even when she went out, a sun hat and sunglasses were her standard equipment.
The night before she returned to Hong Kong, the two of them were finally able to have a hot meal at home on time.
"Honey, you've lost weight." Song Yiting felt distressed when she saw that her husband had become thinner in the past few days.
"Really? I'm thin, but I have muscles." Yuan Fangguo said jokingly. As he spoke, he even puffed up his biceps to show his wife.
"You just know how to be funny. The working group from the Ministry of Commerce will be coming the day after tomorrow. Are you all ready?" Song Yiting said as she picked up a piece of sausage for her husband.
Yuan Fangguo basically did not hide anything from Song Yiting about his daily work. In his opinion, this is how a couple should be. They should be frank with each other when necessary and should not live as two families, ignoring each other.
"It's ready." Yuan Fangguo smiled, picked up the sausage his wife had given him, and began to chew it in big mouthfuls.
"Don't get too tired."
"Don't worry, my job is just talking, the actual work has to be done by the people below me, I won't be too tired. Besides, I basically have the final say on working hours, so when it's time to rest, I will be very clear."
"Well, after I finish my work, we'll go out for a trip." Song Yiting said with a smile.
Yuan Fangguo nodded. Traveling is indeed the best way to relax to the greatest extent. "Where do you want to travel?"
"Why don't we go to the Jiangnan water town? I like it there very much. It will be April, the season when the grass is green and the birds are singing, and the Jiangnan area is shrouded in mist and rain." Song Yiting said this, but a strong Jiangnan landscape painting automatically generated in her mind. A graceful woman wearing a cheongsam, holding an oil-paper umbrella, walked comfortably in the rain alleys of the Jiangnan water town. Even if she did not personally integrate into it, this kind of picture could make her feel relaxed.
"Okay, then it's a deal." Yuan Fangguo smiled and raised the drink in his glass.
Song Yiting cooked dinner by herself. She didn't know how to cook before. The main reason why she can cook now is that when she was in Hong Kong, she was not used to the food there sometimes, so she started to try to cook home-cooked meals. Who knew that this would become a habit.
"By the way, dear, there are two things I forgot to tell you." Song Yiting said this with a smile on her face.
Yuan Fangguo nodded, "You talk, I'm listening."
"The first thing is that China Television hopes that I can participate in the 2000 Spring Festival Gala. I am a little worried that I won't be able to be with you on New Year's Eve." Song Yiting said with some regret.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but smile, "My dear, your worry is unnecessary. If you really participate in the Spring Festival Gala, I will definitely fly to the capital to accompany you."
"Really?" Song Yiting had been feeling somewhat timid before. She was thinking that this was the first Spring Festival after her marriage, and she had to spend it with her lover no matter what. Therefore, when she said this, she was full of contradictions and self-blame. However, after hearing what her husband said, the stone in her heart fell to the ground quietly.
"We have been together for more than a year. Don't you believe what I say?" Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
"Well, I believe everything you said." Song Yiting nodded seriously. "The second thing is that in May, I have to go to Hong Kong again to participate in the recording of a food program."
"Are you the host?" Yuan Fangguo said with his eyes wide open.
Song Yiting shook her head, "I'm the chef."
"Your craftsmanship is quite good." Yuan Fangguo smiled and said, "I support you."
"I'll bring the tape back for you to watch. It's a variety show called 'Celebrity Private Recipes'."
"It seems that I have a good appetite. I have already eaten the food prepared for me by the big star in advance." Yuan Fangguo said with a hearty smile.
"Oh, I haven't finished speaking yet." Song Yiting gestured.
Yuan Fangguo nodded without saying anything. He gestured to his wife to continue.
"The producer asked me to make a dish of braised eggplant in oil. I don't know how to make it. Can you teach me when the time comes?" Song Yiting said while blinking at her husband.
"Then it depends on your performance tonight." Yuan Fangguo said with a chuckle.
"You know." Song Yiting smiled and then cleaned up the dishes.
There is no fixed person to do housework. Seeing this, Yuan Fangguo hurriedly followed his wife to clean up the kitchen.
After finishing their work, the two of them walked hand in hand as if they were in love, under the dim lights of the community.
The residential complex where they lived was considered one of the most upscale in the entire Chengdu City. Those who could live here were either rich or noble, and had seen a lot of the world. Therefore, they did not carefully identify Song Yiting's celebrity status. This gave the couple a chance to take a leisurely walk outside.
After strolling outside the community, the two returned to the study, and Song Yiting continued to play and sing the song her husband liked.
Yuan Fangguo, like a loyal little follower, always stayed with his wife in the study.
Perhaps they were about to say goodbye, so when the two of them went to bed at night, they seemed to have endless things to say. As they talked, Song Yiting actually shed tears.
"My dear, I can't bear to leave you." She hugged her husband tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear.
"Silly boy, you've been here for more than 20 days. It's only been a week. When you come back, I'll take you to the Jiangnan Water Village for some fun."
With his comfort, Song Yiting finally burst into laughter.
