Finally the day of the Chinese New Year has arrived.
According to past habits, Bo Yan still had to go to Bo's house with Xia Siyu. He had no burden and went to Bo's house with Xia Siyu without hesitation.
I still remember last year and the year before last, the Bo family was full of people, and the uncle and cousin were all very happy with the spring breeze blowing in their faces.
This time, the Bo family was still decorated with lanterns, but if Bo Yan looked carefully, he would find that some of the celebratory lanterns were used last year. Although the Spring Festival couplets and the door gods have been replaced with new ones, they would never use the old ones to top up the numbers last year.
Entering the house, Uncle Bo Qiliu and Bo Yi's family were all in the living room, as was Xia Siwei. After seeing the ceremony, Bo Yan looked at his uncle and Bo Yi. Bo Yi was okay, not much could be seen on his face, and his expression still had a hint of arrogance. One look at this expression shows that he has never experienced any beating from society.
Although Bo Qiliu looked tough and probably had a little bit of grooming for the Chinese New Year, the bags under his eyes were obviously a lot bigger and his back was slightly hunched. Seeing Boyan and Xia Siyu, two really high-spirited people walked in. Needless to say, I have been praised in various ways since I entered the entertainment industry. Xia Siyu had a "good harvest" last year. After winning the Best Actress award, the society's evaluation of her changed. In the past, Xia Siyu could still see the unruly and pretended domineering nature. Because if the appearance is not strong enough, it will give people the impression that they are easy to bully.
But now, her temperament has calmed down, her sharpness has not disappeared, but has become restrained, and her whole person feels indifferent and clear-minded. As soon as these two people walked in, they really gave people a fresh and clear atmosphere, making the entire sluggish home lively.
The first person to feel it was Bo Yi and Xia Siwei's baby. This kid is having the most fun right now. It was okay to see Bo Yan, but he bumped into Xia Siyu's arms and called "aunt" sweetly. The little guy is only a little older and already has a sense of beauty and ugliness and a vague sense of gender. I can't walk when I see my beautiful sister. Well, he perfectly inherited the character of his grandfather and father.
Xia Siyu is indeed not very fond of children. On the one hand, she is not very interested in children. On the other hand, she dislikes children who are too noisy and cry, which makes them very annoying. But if you just hug her and call her "Auntie" sweetly, she won't be annoyed. She also touches the child's little head with a smile: "Has he grown so big?"
Boyan looked around: "Where is grandpa?"
As soon as he finished asking, there was a "beep" sound coming from the other side. Bo Yan turned around and saw that his grandfather came out with a cane.
Bo Yan and his grandfather have indeed not seen each other for a long time. He is busy filming every day. When he is not filming, he occasionally participates in variety shows, and his schedule is full. Moreover, after grandpa handed over the company to his uncle's family, he did feel a little sorry for him and did not take the initiative to contact him.
Bo Yan did not avoid it intentionally. He called his grandpa once a month to ask how he was doing. Grandpa said he was fine every time.
But this time he looked and found that his grandfather's hair was almost completely white after not seeing him for just a year. Moreover, the whole person was quite hunched. Unlike Bo Qiliu's hunchback, he really looked like an old man, and the whole person seemed to have shrunk in an instant.
Moreover, he even used crutches. You know, when my grandpa was eighty years old, he had a straight back, a loud voice, and walked easily. It's only been a year, how could it suddenly become like this
Grandpa was quite happy to see Boyan and Xia Siyu coming. But he was very serious. Although he was happy, he only asked the two of them to sit down.
In the past, when Bo Yi saw them coming, he would laugh at them. Although Bo Yi still had an unruly expression this year, he was no longer in the mood to talk to him. After Boyan and Xia Siyu sat down, they seemed particularly quiet.
Boyan asked about his grandfather. Grandpa put the crutch aside and his voice was still majestic: "It's nothing. I fell down last month."
Falling down in the elderly is simply equivalent to shortening the life span in advance. Bo Yan suddenly became a little worried: "What about that?"
"It's okay, no fractures, just my foot has been swollen for a week."
Bo Yi started to get angry: "There is no fracture, but the bone is cracked. The plaster was removed not long ago. The actor is so busy with work, so naturally he doesn't know."
It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, especially for the elderly. Although the bones are only broken, they are still recovering. No wonder he has to use crutches when traveling.
After Bo Yan's parents died, it was his grandfather who raised him. Although grandpa has been very busy, he has no time to take care of him. Moreover, when the uncle's family is around, no matter how well he performs, the adults will only praise Yi. He was still not convinced. When he was in his second year of high school, when he was about to choose arts and sciences, he heard his grandfather say that he should train Bo Yi more in the future. He knew that his future had been planned by his family. His ambition was to enroll in liberal arts later, and then study art.
The abandoned son of the family, even if he returns to the company, even if he is better than Bo Yi, he is still the one destined to be abandoned, so why bother fighting.
Although he has always complained about his grandfather, after all, he was raised by him. The person closest to him after his parents died. Now that I see him in this state, especially with his white hair and stooped back, I do feel a little unbearable.
As he grew older, he gradually mastered it. There was actually nothing wrong with what his grandfather did. After all, for the sake of the stability of the company, it was impossible to bet on both sides. If he and Bo Yi had a fight in the company, it might be even worse.
But understanding is understanding, and it is impossible for him not to complain. Before today, his will was very firm, but the moment he saw his grandfather, he hesitated a little.
Especially when grandpa asks: "How are you doing, are you in good health? You are so busy at work, don't forget to eat."
Grandpa is usually a very dignified person. He scolds a lot and shows concern, but it's all hidden behind the scenes. But a few casual words almost broke his guard. He replied one by one: "Siyu and I are very good. We don't forget to exercise during our daily work, and we try to eat as normal as possible."
Xia Siyu usually didn't bother to speak in family meetings like this. She would rather play with her children on the side.
Grandpa also said with a smile: "I heard that you have been doing well recently. The movie also won an award."
It was really not easy for his grandfather to praise him. Bo Yan nodded: "It's not bad. I'm filming a movie now, and there are a few more films to be released in the spring."
"If you are tired from filming, you might as well go home and visit more. This will always be your home." Boyan was a little touched in his heart, and soon his grandfather changed the topic: "The same goes for Bo Shi."
