"Spending money again, what did you buy?"

"I didn't buy anything, just melon seeds, candies, snacks and so on. Zhao Jianfei makes them every day, and they are almost gone at home. I bought some more to keep in reserve, as relatives are coming to our house in a couple of days."

After putting the things down, Xiao Zhao washed his hands and prepared to help, but was stopped by Zhao's mother: "Don't touch the noodles. If you want to help, boil some water."

After that, Zhao's mother looked at Zhao Jianfei, Zhao's younger brother, who was watching TV in the living room and said, "Stop watching. Go and pound some garlic."

"Wait a moment, this Li Chengyin is about to kill Gu Jian."

Zhao's mother doted on her son a little and didn't say anything. Instead, Xiao Zhao directly picked up the rolling pin and hit the table hard.

"Zhao Jianfei!"

Zhao Jianfei replied impatiently: "Just a moment, I'll be right there."

"three--"

"Oh my, it's time to start now."

"two--"

He didn't even bother to count "one" and just thought that Xiao Zhao was holding a rolling pin and was ready to beat someone up. As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Zhao Jianfei had already given in. He came over with a resentful look on his face and muttered something.

"Isn't it annoying? You never let me stop watching TV."

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."

Xiao Zhao didn't indulge his younger brother at all. He threatened him with a rolling pin, kicked him, and then supervised Zhao Jianfei to work.

"Violent man, who will dare to marry you in the future?"

There is several years difference between the two siblings. Zhao Jianfei was raised by Xiao Zhao since he was a child. Although he is now a grown man, he is still controlled by his sister.

However, even though he was beaten every day, he was afraid in his heart, but he said he was not convinced and always had to say a few words to save his face and vent his anger.

"You don't need to worry about who will marry me. You should worry about yourself. Don't let yourself fail to get into college and be single for the rest of your life."

"You are a technical secondary school student and you are talking about me?"

"I'm pretty, and you."

"Beautiful, ugh..."

The brother and sister know each other well, and they quarrel just to the point of hurting each other. As the quarrel went on, Xiao Zhao picked up the rolling pin again. Zhao's father and mother had long been accustomed to this kind of chaotic life and usually didn't bother to care.

However, today is New Year's Eve and the situation is special, so Zhao's father still spoke up and asked the two of them to calm down and have a good New Year.

As a policeman, Zhao's father has a high prestige in the family, and both the siblings are a little afraid of him.

Many people think that Xiao Zhao was born in the countryside and that his family lived in the countryside. In fact, this is not the case. Zhao's father was a policeman and his mother worked as a salesperson. His family conditions are considered good compared to ordinary people.

When she was a child, her family lived in the village, and later moved to the city, which is similar to Wei Yang's experience.

After quietly kicking her brother again, Xiao Zhao hid next to her father and brought up the old matter again.

"Dad, after the New Year, you and mom can come with me to Shanghai to have some fun."

"If you don't go, you have to go to work. Besides, your brother will take the college entrance examination soon. If you're not at home to watch over him, he will act wild again."

Mr. Zhao is a typical Chinese father. He doesn't talk much, but he is very responsible. He is a bit chauvinistic. He loves his children but is unwilling to trouble them.

"It's okay to play for a few days."

Xiao Zhao tried to persuade his father, but he ignored her. So she turned to persuade her mother. Mother Zhao didn't care, but she understood her husband, so she reached a compromise.

"Wait until your brother finishes the college entrance exam and we can go together during the summer vacation. Forget it now. It's too cold in the winter and I don't want to go out."

"Okay, I'm just afraid that I won't have time to accompany you then."

Seeing the puzzled looks from his family, Xiao Zhao said in a reserved tone, "My drama will be aired during the summer vacation. When it becomes popular, I won't have time to take you guys out to play."

"Hahaha, you still dream of becoming a star?"

Zhao Jianfei couldn't help laughing and was immediately slapped on the head. This time it was not Xiao Zhao but Zhao's father.

"Take out the trash."

Facing Xiao Zhao, Zhao Jianfei dared to talk back to him. When Zhao's father spoke, he didn't dare to say a word and walked out of the house in a dejected manner, holding the trash can.

Mother Zhao didn't care about Zhao Jianfei who was being punished, she cared more about what Xiao Zhao said.

"Can it really be popular?"

It's no wonder that she has no confidence in her daughter. Xiao Zhao has been in the entertainment industry for several years since she participated in "Yahoo Star Search" in 2006. She has also filmed quite a few TV series, but she is still far from being famous.

"I am the heroine this time. Besides, you know this, Wei Yang."

Although Zhao's mother doesn't pay attention to the entertainment industry, she still watches TV dramas and news. She couldn't help but nodded when she heard this.

"He is indeed very popular. If you film with him, Lao Zhao, our daughter might really become famous this time."

Mother Zhao was beaming with joy, while Father Zhao was more calm and asked, "I remember this Wei Yang is your boss?"

"Yeah, I signed with his company."

"Why would he praise you?"

As a policeman, Zhao's father instinctively suspected some unreasonable situations, and Xiao Zhao was not happy with it.

"Dad, what do you mean?"

"That's right, what's wrong with my daughter? She's pretty and a good actress, why can't I support her?"

Zhao's mother was also a little unhappy. Zhao Jianfei was an ignorant child, and the brother and sister were used to quarreling, so it didn't matter if they had a few words. How could a father look down on his own daughter?

Even though Mr. Zhao was the head of the family, he couldn't afford to make the two women in the family angry, so he hurried to explain.

"I didn't say that my daughter is bad, I just asked. After all, my daughter is not famous. She became the protagonist right away. I must ask her what the boss thinks of her and help analyze it."

After much persuasion, Xiao Zhao and his mother were finally persuaded. In fact, Xiao Zhao and his mother were also somewhat curious about this question.

How come a girl who had wasted several years suddenly had good luck and was supported by noble people in various ways?

"I have good qualifications, so people think highly of me. Besides, our company is small, so we must promote our own people. The female lead in the drama "Eastern Palace" that you watch every day, Qu Xiaofeng, is also a newcomer."

"She also works in your company. Why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Zhao: “…”

I have nothing to do, why should I tell my family about a person who might become my love rival...

However, Zhao's mother really liked Na Zha. At her age, she didn't ask for an autograph, but she praised him again and again and even accidentally spoke her true feelings.

"That girl is really pretty. If I were your boss, I would definitely support her. However, your company treats everyone equally."

"???"

Xiao Zhao was confused. He thought that he would definitely praise her, but what did "treat everyone equally" mean?

Could it be that in your eyes, I am the one being “same”?

Xiao Zhao was deeply distressed by his relatives' backstabbing. His mother also realized that she seemed to have said something wrong and hurried to make amends, but it was of no avail and she could only change the subject.

"Your boss is very nice to you?"

"Um."

"How did you meet?"

"Didn't I tell you before that I've filmed his drama before?"

"Does he have a girlfriend?"

"Yes... maybe. I'm not sure."

Xiao Zhao almost blurted out the truth, and came back to his senses. However, Zhao's mother and father didn't notice anything wrong, and they were still discussing the gossip about Wei Yang with great interest.

It's not that they are insensitive to their daughter's affairs, but they really don't connect Wei Yang, a rich, handsome and talented bachelor, with Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao felt even more depressed...

The family made dumplings and prepared New Year’s Eve dinner. After they finished eating in a lively atmosphere with lots of chatting and laughing, the Spring Festival Gala began.

The older generation's Father and Mother Zhao must watch the Spring Festival Gala. Little Zhao and Zhao Jianfei loved watching it when they were young. Now they have a pretty good attitude towards the Spring Festival Gala. There is nothing entertaining about it anyway, so they just watch it.

Of course, Xiao Zhao's situation this year is special. He is more active than his father and mother. When Zhao's mother asked curiously, she felt justified.

"This year, our boss is on a show, and his agent asked us to watch it and post on Weibo to show our support."

Zhao Jianfei curled his lips: "Flatterer."

Xiao Zhao picked up a tangerine and threw it at them. Zhao's mother asked the two of them to stop watching TV and couldn't help but sigh as she watched the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

"It would be great if our Liying could be on the Spring Festival Gala someday."

"Just wait. Sooner or later, that day will come. Then we will call all our relatives over and let you and my dad show off."

Xiao Zhao had been with someone for a long time, and she started to make promises. Whether Zhao's mother believed it or not, she was still very pleased. She hugged her daughter with a smile.

Zhao Jianfei wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally kept silent.

As the family was talking, this year's Spring Festival Gala officially began.

The first program was the opening song and dance, with a luxurious lineup, including Han Geng, Yin Zhao, Dong Jie, Little Yellow Duck and others.

However, except for Xiao Zhao, the other three people were not familiar with the entertainment industry. At most, Yin and Dong looked familiar to them, but they didn't know the rest very well.

Such a tight schedule was not particularly outstanding, just the usual Spring Festival Gala crosstalk, main melody songs, acrobatics, folk songs and dances, etc., which had limited appeal to the Zhao family.

"When will Zhao Benshan come out?"

Zhao's mother couldn't help asking, and Xiao Zhao took out the program list he found on his phone and said, "It's still early, around 11:30."

"When will your boss come out?"

"It's almost there, it will be after Huang Hong's skit."

Huang Hong's skit was performed together with Chen Su, Sun Tao and Zhang Kaili. It tells the story of a couple who faked a divorce in order to divide the house, which then caused a series of misunderstandings.

This skit was quite entertaining. Huang Hong and Sun Tao, as old faces of the Spring Festival Gala, worked well together and delivered most of the laughs. Chen Su and Zhang Kaili didn't have many laughs, but they also did their jobs and worked together to advance the plot.

The jokes are dense but not awkward, and even the use of this year's hot words "awesome" and "everything is just floating clouds" are relatively reasonable and harmonious.

Even the main theme at the end is both entertaining and educational. Ten years later, it is definitely the finale of the Spring Festival Gala.

The Zhao family was laughing happily, and then the host Zhu Jun appeared.

“…We always think about how we came to this world… Now, let’s invite Wei Yang to perform his original song - “I Remember”…”

“Original?”

Zhao Jianfei muttered something, but was frightened by Xiao Zhao's fierce eyes and shut his mouth, staring at the TV obediently.

On the Spring Festival Gala stage, Wei Yang was simply dressed in a light white shirt and black trousers. He had a slender figure, and looked fresh and handsome.

As he appeared, a slightly sad piano prelude sounded. Wei Yang took the microphone and sang softly along with other harmonies.

“Woo~ woooooooo——”

The LED stage behind him also began to play an animation, with a fetus in the outline of a bulging belly sleeping, then swimming in the water, and suddenly brightening up, an operating table lamp and several doctors appeared, taking the baby out and cleaning it up...

As the animation played, Wei Yang's clear and tender voice sounded. There were no superb singing skills, it was just like someone sitting next to you, humming softly and telling you a story.

“I carry baggage that is heavier than my body.

Swim to the bottom of the Nile River After a few lightning strikes, I saw a bunch of circles of light

Not sure if this is the place ...

Until I heard a voice

I'm sure it's you

But how do you remember me ..."
