Chapter 39 Chapter 39
"I'm going back to China at the end of the year and have been pushing a lot of interviews. The cover is coming out in three days, and there's an interview the day after tomorrow. I need you to come along then."
The next day, when Yue Qing was editing a video for the two kids, she received a call from Lin Jian.
“Do I want an interview too?” she asked.
I have done some small interviews before, but they are definitely not comparable to those of Lin Jian's caliber.
"Of course, you're my cover girl," Lin Jian said with a smile on the other end of the phone. "I'm not exaggerating, but after this interview, you'll have to get ready for a busy week. After the New Year, many brands and magazines will immediately start working to secure exposure for their spring collections. Models I've worked with are generally their top targets, and as for you... your image fits the bill perfectly."
Does that mean there will be a lot of job opportunities after the new year?
Yue Qing roughly calculated the time. She trusted Lin Jian very much. Even if she could only take on three cooperations through this channel, it would be a sum of money that she had never earned before.
Even if the production cycle of the spring series of major brands is two months, the money will be transferred to the account in advance after the shooting.
There is absolutely enough time.
"That's why I told you not to make any bets with me. You'll have your own chance soon," Lin Jian said. "But let's be clear. I'll make sure that anything that can be arranged directly on the day of the interview is arranged for you."
Although Lin Jian is famous, she rarely shoots these brand commercial films. She also knows that she is mostly independent and can bring fame but not much money.
Yue Qing nodded: "Okay, I will prepare it when the time comes."
"Oh, right." Lin Jian thought of something. "There's a cocktail party the evening of the interview, so maybe something formal might be in order. Do you have any clothes left from those sales?"
Yueqing: "..."
Not really.
I was too anxious to raise money at that time, and I had no idea that I would have such a good opportunity now, so I sold almost all the nice skirts and bags.
She said, “I’ll rent it.”
"Don't worry." Lin Jian understood. "I'll arrange it. I know a lot of designers, and I know your size."
To be honest, Yue Qing's connections in this world are really limited, and it might be difficult for him to find a good source for dresses in the short term, so he agreed: "Then I'll transfer the rent to you when the time comes."
Lin Jian smiled, but didn't say whether it was good or bad: "See you then."
After hanging up the phone, Yueqing continued to summarize the videos of the past few days.
When the mouse moved over one of the clips, she stopped.
It was almost twelve o'clock when the live broadcast ended on New Year's Eve. The two kids were carefully arranging the army of dumplings they had made, ready to charge.
"Auntie, stand here!" Meibao placed the best dumplings made by her auntie in the middle of her army. "An An, protect your auntie. Brother will pretend to be the bad guy."
The elder brother was dissatisfied and wanted his dumplings to join in: "Why can't I fight the bad guys with you?"
"Auntie said! Auntie, do you want my brother to be a bad guy?"
The two children's gazes turned to Yue Qing, who was making dumplings. After she saw herself in the camera and recovered from her initial confusion, she took out the dumpling that represented herself and laughed softly, "Then I'll be the bad guy. How about you two stand together?"
This solution did not satisfy the two youngsters who thought they were heroes. Yue Qing said, "If you can beat me, I will give you a gift."
When they heard there were gifts, the children didn't care whether they were good or bad, and immediately prepared for them: "We are ready!"
Yue Qing took an orange and placed it in the middle. Then he took out a few dumplings he had made and placed them in a row in front. He also deliberately placed two chopsticks in front. "Okay, come on."
"Go! Save the Orange Army!"
The two kids controlled the dumplings in their hands, and made inexplicable "Puff! Chi! Ha" sounds with their mouths. The dumplings ran forward and the stuffing was exposed, leaving a trail of meat paste on the table. Finally, they made the big dumpling in the front row fly away, and successfully rescued the orange.
They held the trophy high in their hands: "Success!"
"You guys are awesome too!" Yue Qing picked up the dumplings that had landed on the corner of the table. "Then it's time for the awards."
The brother and sister sat in a row on the carpet, like two puppies waiting to drink milk, with bright eyes.
Yue Qing also took out two red envelopes that she had prepared long ago from her bag: "Dangdangdang!"
"Wow!!!" The two kids, who had already accepted that they wouldn't get any red envelopes from their aunt, jumped up and grabbed the red envelope in their aunt's hand, "It's for us!"
"Yes, this is for you." Yue Qing rubbed their heads and said gently, "From now on, you should be happy every year."
Although the expressions of the two cubs cannot be seen in the video, Yueqing can still recall what they looked like at that time.
After the initial satisfaction and surprise, the two cubs' eyes suddenly turned red.
In their eyes, wanting the red envelope from their aunt does not mean wanting the money inside, because they have no concept of money.
They just think that receiving a red envelope proves that the other party likes them very much and cares about them.
In the days before the New Year, the TV is full of videos of giving out red envelopes, and the children’s parents and grandparents will give red envelopes to their children.
They have no parents, no grandparents, only an aunt.
So they look forward to their aunt's red envelope more than anyone else, because their aunt is the most important person around them.
This is how they feel like family and how they feel safe that they don’t even know about.
At this moment, the two children felt safe and hugged their auntie, saying, "I like you very much."
"I like it even more!"
"I like a hundred!"
The camera was blocked and pitch black, but the voices of the two children could be clearly heard.
Yue Qing, who was hugged at that time, was a little overwhelmed: "Why are you crying after receiving the red envelope?"
"I didn't cry, it's just that my eyes were disobedient." Little Le Jia said stubbornly.
Meibao silently hugged her aunt tightly: "Aunt doesn't want to abandon An An and brother."
Yue Qing was slightly stunned. So they thought that not having red envelopes meant they didn’t want them?
After wiping away all their tears, the two kids discussed it and immediately let go of their aunt and ran back to their room: "Aunt, wait a minute!"
After a while, he brought two pieces of red colored paper that he had bought for making handicrafts.
"What is this for?"
"Give my aunt a red envelope!"
They don’t know where red envelopes come from, but they also want to give one to their aunt. The only red ones available now are colored paper, so they use the colored paper to make one for their aunt!
Originally, the red envelope was supposed to contain money, but the kids remembered that there was no money in the red envelope that their aunt gave to Uncle Xie, so after folding the weird red envelope, they carefully picked out their favorite candies and put them in it.
They all came before my aunt as if presenting a treasure: "Auntie also wants to be happy every day!"
"Next Chinese New Year, An An will fold a bigger red envelope and fill it with candy and other things for my aunt!"
Yueqing held the mouse and thought about what he felt at that time.
At that time, she really wondered if she could really spend the next New Year with these two children. After all, she was still their aunt.
So she wanted to try harder, try to get rid of the influence of her original body as much as possible, and give herself a chance to meet them again in the future.
At least it proves that she is not alone in this world, and there are people who sincerely hope that she is happy every day.
My thoughts were gradually drifting away when two loud exclamations, one big and one small, broke through: "Wow!"
The first thing Le Jia did when he woke up was to go out to look for his aunt. Unexpectedly, when he came out, he saw a super cool rocking car in the living room. He quickly dragged his sister, who was still confused, out of bed and said, "Look, sister, it's a rocking car!"
Now Meibao was completely awakened from her sleep.
They slept soundly yesterday and Yue Qing just wiped their faces, hands and feet casually before letting them sleep. At this time, their hair was all messed up, especially Meibao's.
The bun she tied yesterday was shaped and stood straight, but it didn't affect her speed at all as she ran towards the rocking car.
Meibao ran to the rocking car and stroked it gently with surprise: "Auntie! Can you do magic?"
Otherwise, why would I see such a big gift when I wake up!
"Did you forget?" Yue Qing continued what he was doing. "Uncle Xie promised you yesterday that he would buy you a rocking car, but the two little lazy pigs fell asleep yesterday, so we didn't see it in time."
Little Lejia instantly felt like he had lost 100 million.
This rocking car is much prettier than the ones you see outside the supermarket! It even has big wings!
He and his sister actually missed out on playing for a whole night because they went to bed early!
The sky is falling!
"Lazy pig, get up." Little Le'an climbed onto the bike with his short legs, holding the handlebars with his little hands, "I want to sit!"
Considering that they were indeed very interested in this car, Yue Qing did not immediately ask them to go wash up: "Wait for Auntie to send you the video."
video?
After playing for two days, the kid completely forgot that he had a "career".
Besides, Uncle System hasn’t said much these two days and didn’t remind them. If it wasn’t for my aunt saying that, they would have forgotten about it.
Fortunately, the older brother wasn't as playful as his younger sister. He stood on tiptoe and looked at the screen on the computer: "Will there be many people who like us today?"
Yue Qing nodded: "Of course."
My brother felt that his rocking car supermarket could become bigger and stronger, and he even had a huge business empire in his mind.
He wants to let many children who can’t afford to ride in rocking cars ride in them!
"Then sister, sit down first, brother will watch the video!"
Yue Qing just let him go and got up to study how to operate the rocking car. It was too late yesterday and he was worried about disturbing the children's sleep, so he didn't let the workers experiment, but there was an instruction manual here.
Little Le Jia sat on a small stool and waited obediently for many people to like him.
As I waited, I felt uncomfortable again: "Uncle, are you going home for the New Year too?"
The system has already answered this question once.
The last time was a year ago.
It’s just that a year ago, the two children were only two years old and their cognition was vague, so they forgot many memories, and even forgot that this uncle had spent the past two years with them.
Little Le Jia really didn't remember, he only knew that his uncle was always there in his vague memory.
But now my uncle speaks less and less.
This caused a lot of deviations in his cognition.
The system explained again: "I don't celebrate the New Year."
"Why?" Little Lejia wondered, "Are you not happy during the New Year?"
He and his sister had a great time playing together.
The system didn't know how to answer him for a moment: "I am just a piece of data. Unlike you humans, I don't have to celebrate the New Year without my family."
What is data?
"Why is it different?" Little Le Jia was puzzled. "Uncle's voice is the same as other uncles."
Although I have never met my uncle, he is no different from a human being.
Moreover, his uncle knows so much and has taken care of him and his sister for so long. His uncle is still a good person!
System: "You're still laughing. You'll understand when you grow up."
"Oh." Little Le Jia thought for a moment and then asked, "Did uncle receive the New Year's money?"
"Adults don't need lucky money."
"Didn't your uncle say you are not a human being?"
“…”
This little bastard.
The system is completely speechless and gives up communication.
But suddenly, little Le Jia moved. He grabbed a handful of candy from the table and placed it in front of him: "Then I'll give it to uncle."
The system was amused: "I haven't sent it to you yet. What are you sending to me? I can't receive it."
"I thought uncle would celebrate the New Year." Little Le Jia said, "If uncle doesn't have a red envelope, then there will be no red envelope. Other uncles have it, so does system uncle."
He was talking about Uncle Xie across the street.
"Do you like that uncle?" asked the system.
Little Le Jia thought about it and said truthfully: "He is a bit fierce."
system:"……"
"But I like him." Little Le Jia then added, "That uncle is a good man."
They can chase away bad guys, give them red envelopes, barbecue, and even give out rocking cars.
The system patiently coaxed him: "Do you remember what Uncle System said, that good people will be rewarded?"
"Uh-huh."
"Then if that kind uncle encounters difficulties, would you also help him?"
"Of course!"
The original task of the system was to let the children grow up healthily under the control of the vicious aunt, and then consider saving their uncle later. But now the first step has been solved by the sudden appearance of Yue Qing, so the next step is to solve the uncle's problem.
So the system decided to bring this plan forward: "Now the system uncle will give you and your sister a new task."
Task?
Little Le Jia, who inexplicably felt a sense of responsibility, sat up straight and said, "Yes!"
"That kind uncle is sick. You must help him." The system said, "Also, tell your sister to pay more attention to the bad people around that uncle. Some people will bully the kind uncle."
There are actually people bullying Uncle Xie?!
Little Le Jia recalled Uncle Xie's heroic performance in beating up the bad guys in the supermarket and was filled with worry: "Can they beat them?"
system:"……"
"Uncle System, what's wrong with Uncle Xie?" Little Le Jia was really worried. He didn't want good people to get sick, but he was not a little doctor.
"He got…" The system paused for a few seconds, "a disease that will kill you if you don't act cool."
Little Le Jia: “?”
Why doesn’t he understand what Uncle System says?
"That uncle is very awkward." Realizing that he had spoken the truth, the system coughed lightly, "Just like a sister when she's angry, she's awkward and needs to be comforted."
Little Le Jia asked in shock: "Is this also a disease?"
"His condition is even worse," the system said, "because he had no family and no aunt when he was a child. He grew up alone and was bullied by many people, so he needs to be coaxed for a longer time."
Ohhh! So it’s the uncle who needs to be coaxed!
Little Le Jia felt that he had grasped the secret: "I understand!"
"We agreed on this," the system reminded. "This is still our little secret, right?"
"Hmm!" Little Le Jia tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Uncle System, if I eat candy, can you eat it?"
The system laughed: "Why are you still thinking about me eating candy?"
"Well..." Xiao Lejia said seriously, "I don't remember, but I think my uncle is always with my sister and me. When my aunt is not around, my uncle is there, so my uncle is just like my aunt."
He has his own logic: "Uncle should also celebrate the New Year together."
Although I don’t know why my uncle didn’t show up the past two days, I should make up for it now that he is here.
The system was silent for a long time. When Xiao Lejia couldn't help asking a second time, it laughed: "I am just a system, not your family. Your aunt is your family."
"uncle?"
"But try it," the system said. "Who knows, I might get one. I'll eat your favorite one."
Upon hearing this, Little Le Jia quickly picked out his favorite chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth: "How is it, uncle?"
"Yes, I ate it." The system smiled. "It's very sweet. Thank you."
"You're welcome~" Little Le Jia believed it and started looking for other flavors. "I have other ones. Give them to uncle."
The little hand was halfway through grabbing when someone pulled it back: "Le Jia."
He raised his head blankly, and seeing his aunt's unfriendly expression, he felt guilty for no reason.
"You can't eat before you wash up." Yue Qing took the candy from his hand. "You can't eat snacks before breakfast. Go wash up."
Little Le Jia stuck out his tongue: "Good."
Then he whispered to the system uncle: "Uncle, I will give it to you after I finish drinking the milk!"
The system said slowly: "Go ahead, after you finish your milk, it's your turn to ride the rocking car."
In fact, it was overthinking it, because until little Lejia finished washing up and took his sister to wash up together, his aunt was still walking around the rocking car.
Yueqing studied the rocking car for a long time but there was no response at all, which made him puzzled.
Meibao walked over holding the empty bottle and raised her hand: "I know, Auntie didn't put in any coins!"
"Home rocking cars don't require coins." Yueqing argued.
"Hmm?"
Meibao doesn’t understand.
Little Le Jia was stunned and felt that his rocking car career was ruined!
No need to insert coins!
"Forget it, I'll make some milk for you first." Yue Qing decided to ask Mr. Xie for the contact information of those workers to see if there was anything wrong during the installation yesterday.
After making milk and cooking noodles for the children, I let the two children sit down and eat, and Yueqing went to the opposite side.
Mr. Xie said that if anyone had any questions, they could just knock on the door because there was no contact information.
Jiang Suizhi could go to the old house later today. He was tidying up the house now. Some daily necessities that had been sent to him before were still placed everywhere. When he took out the pot on the top, he hesitated.
He used to cook for himself, but after returning to the Jiang family, he became very busy with work and his life became less regular, so he gradually cooked less.
This pot was mainly bought because of the 400,000 dumplings that day, and the dumplings are still in the refrigerator.
He suddenly felt that it was not a bad idea to have breakfast after a long absence.
It’s a pity that the dumplings made by the two kids were not very good. Except for one or two made in Yueqing that still survived stubbornly, the others were completely turned into soup.
Never mind, it’s okay not to eat.
Jiang Suizhi was not used to having his private life interfered with, so there was basically no nanny in the place where he lived except for the scheduled cleaning. When he heard the doorbell ring, his first reaction was that he had heard it wrong.
To be honest, he hadn't heard the doorbell ring for a long time. Before the Lin siblings, he didn't have many friends, and even the siblings couldn't enter his house.
As for those of the Jiang family, that is even more impossible.
So it wasn't until the doorbell rang for the second time that he came back to his senses from his surprise. He put the pot on the table and walked over.
When he saw that it was Yueqing, he put on the mask and glasses placed at the door.
Yueqing thought no one was home, so he turned around and the door opened.
"Thank you..." Seeing Mr. Xie's face, she was silent for two seconds, "Are you going out?"
Jiang Suizhi: "Yeah."
Mr. Xie was not wearing a hat at this time. Perhaps he had just gotten up not long ago, so his hair was soft and less sharp than usual.
Yue Qing was puzzled: "Wearing pajamas... going out?"
"."
Jiang Suizhi remained calm in the face of danger and said, "Throw away some trash."
Then he asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"That's right." Yue Qing explained his purpose, "So I wanted to ask if I made a mistake somewhere."
Jiang Suizhi said naturally: "I'll go and take a look."
"Aren't you going to take out the trash?" Yue Qing offered to help. "How about I help you?"
That house is empty, where did the garbage come from?
The only garbage might be the bowl of soup!
He walked out and slammed the door shut. "I haven't finished cleaning yet. Let's talk later."
Okay.
Coming to the opposite side, two little kids were sitting obediently at the dining table. In front of them was a bowl of noodles that looked delicious and beautiful, with eggs fried to perfection.
Jiang Sui, who hadn't had a good meal for several days, felt a little shameful and wanted to spank the child.
Jiang Yan’s sins must be paid for by his son!
The two kids have become accustomed to Uncle Xie coming over, and greeted him with great energy: "Good morning, Uncle Xie~"
"Good morning."
Forget it, it’s better to curse Jiang Yan a few times to vent my anger.
Noticing Jiang Sui's eyes, Yue Qing remembered that he had been called over so early in the morning and didn't know whether the other person had had breakfast.
"Mr. Xie, have you had breakfast yet?" she asked. "If you don't mind, I'll cook some for you too?"
"No need to bother, I don't have the habit of eating breakfast." Jiang Sui rolled up his sleeves and walked to the rocking car, picked up the instructions and started checking.
Little Le Jia, who was slurping his noodles, suddenly heard the system uncle sigh: "This uncle never eats on time. His health will get worse and worse. He will become more prone to illness and see the doctor every day."
My brother immediately stopped eating noodles.
Seeing the doctor required an injection, something he and his sister had experienced before. It was incredibly painful! It was truly terrifying.
So my brother put down the children's chopsticks, slid down from the chair, walked to Uncle Xie, and patted his shoulder solemnly.
Jiang was caught off guard and his body trembled subconsciously.
I turned around and met the eyes of the familiar looking kid.
"That's a bad habit!" Little Le Jia put his hands on his hips. "Skipping breakfast will give you a stomachache. Do you want to see a doctor? You'll need an injection."
Jiang Suizhi wanted to defend himself.
"That's right! Injections hurt." Little did I know that my sister would lie on the table and agree, "Uncle needs to change his bad habits."
"I'm very healthy." Jiang Suiji defended himself, "Your Excellency can skip breakfast."
Obviously the two kids didn't believe it: "Auntie is an adult too, it's Auntie who eats it."
Little Lejia remembered that Uncle System said that Uncle Xie was even more awkward than his sister and had been bullied since childhood, so he needed someone to coax him.
He poked his head out and asked, "Uncle, do you want to coax me?"
Jiang Sui was stunned for a moment, which was unusual: "What?"
"Many children need to be coaxed before they eat." Little Le Jia said, "I coaxed my sister before, so I'll coax you."
Although he knew that he shouldn't do that, Yue Qing still smiled with her hands covering her lips.
Jiang Suizhi turned his face away: "I don't need any coaxing."
"But uncle doesn't eat breakfast." Little Le Jia tilted his head, "Why?"
"because……"
Why do kids have so many problems!
"See, uncle doesn't know." Little Le Jia felt that he had convinced his uncle, "Then uncle, have breakfast first. How about this, after you have breakfast, I will give you a reward, okay?"
What's good about it!
Jiang then stood up and looked at him: "What reward?"
"Let uncle ride the rocking car first!" This is the best gift little Le Jia has thought of so far. He and his sister have not ridden one yet.
"Okay." Meibao had no objection at all, because she also felt that not eating was a very wrong thing to do. She climbed down from the chair and said, "Uncle, eat your meal obediently. An An will let uncle sit."
Jiang Suiyi said coldly: "I don't like riding a rocking car."
Who are you trying to fool? There's no sincerity at all.
Is there anyone who doesn’t like riding a rocking car?
Meibao was shocked and helpless.
Fortunately, little Le Jia had a solution. He pulled his uncle's clothes.
Jiang Suizhi lowered his eyes and took a look. He could still tolerate the touch for the time being, so he followed him and walked forward a few steps until they reached the corner of the wall, where he saw a scale for measuring height.
Little Le Jia stood on it first, raised his hand and touched his head, saying, "Uncle, come here."
Jiang then raised his eyebrows and walked over.
"Stand here." Little Lejia commanded.
"Yeah." Jiang Sui's mood had been up and down since the beginning of the morning because of these two brats, but the weirdness was not bad. "Then what?"
Now little Le Jia became more confident, because his aunt usually encouraged him and his sister in this way.
He raised his head: "If you don't eat breakfast, you won't grow..."
Um? ? ?
How can Uncle Xie be so tall!
Seeing the child's shocked and hurt expression, Jiang chuckled: "What will happen?"
"Auntie!" Little Le Jia had no mood to eat breakfast at all. He ran to his aunt and asked, "Why can I grow so tall without eating breakfast?!"
Yueqing was very confused.
How would she know!
"This may be an exception. Maybe my uncle ate more when he was a child." She said casually.
Jiang Sui, standing in front of the height scale, couldn't help but stand up straighter.
"No!" Little Le Jia was even more upset and said angrily, "I want to grow taller too, so I won't eat either!"
Yueqing: “?”
She immediately looked at the culprit, her eyes filled with a hint of disbelief and reproach.
Jiang, who had just straightened up and was adjusting his collar with pride, said: "..."
After meeting the other person's gaze, Jiang lowered his back silently again.
