As the Spring Festival is approaching, there are many festive topics on the Internet. No one wants to mention the dirty things of Lin Yan and Liu Jie. They just disappeared from the screen.
"Life is Beautiful" is being promoted lively. Xu Zifan and Qiao Zixin have also appeared on several well-known variety shows, showing off their faces in front of everyone with a few niches and flowers with more roles in the movie.
The Qiao family of three sat on the sofa watching TV on weekends. As soon as the show aired, the young man sitting in the middle exclaimed, "Isn't this Qiao Zixin? She is as beautiful as she used to be now? When will she be back? "
Mama Qiao glanced at Dad Qiao's face and said, "Your sister doesn't always come back during the New Year, but the gifts will definitely be sent back." She handed over the peeled oranges and said with a smile, "These oranges are so sweet. A dozen yuan a pound is very expensive, Xiaopeng, eat more."
Qiao Zhipeng glanced at the more than ten yuan a pound of oranges, then looked at Qiao Zixin, who was shining brightly on the TV, and pouted: "Aunt Yu, you are too economical, doesn't Qiao Zixin pay you every month? Buy some oranges. Expensive?"
"That's not what I meant. Didn't I use the previous money to buy a house? I want to keep the rest for spare..."
"Okay, just watch TV if you want to watch TV, what nonsense!" Dad Qiao frowned, "Sun Yu, call Zixin and ask her if she will come back during the New Year. A girl always stays outside. What's the matter? It's as if I can't tolerate her. You remember to ask what happened to her and that director Xu or something, we can't have a child with a bad reputation, or let others see me? "
"Okay, this child is just disobedient, I told her well." Mama Qiao put down the orange, picked up the mobile phone and went back to the room to make a call.
Qiao Zixin was having dinner with Xu Zifan at home, when she saw her mother's phone call, she picked it up and said, "Mom? Are you looking for me?"
"If I don't look for you, you don't know how to call home to care and care, it's not caring to raise you so big, you know that you are fooling around outside, your father asked me to ask you if you will come back during the New Year, I'll see you You have to come back, you have made such a big deal, you have to come back and explain it to your relatives, so that they can all see that you are fine now, or I can’t hold my head up in front of them.”
Qiao Zixin frowned, "Mom, I didn't commit a rape and criminal offense, why can't you hold your head up? You have to compare your children with them. Their children can't study or work. Am I not enough to give you a face? "
"What kind of face? It's almost ashamed! You look like a good girl when you're making a movie and hugging people? By the way, that one's name is Xu He, it's your director, and the one who also filmed with you. , what's the matter with the two of you? Why did I hear your brother say that the Internet says you two are a couple? You have suffered a loss and you still don't know how to repent, and now you have a relationship with a director. Your brother said that the director is a beautiful woman Celebrities don't have a clean relationship at all..."
Xu Zifan picked up the soup bowl on the table and went to the kitchen to fill the soup. Qiao Zixin lowered her head in embarrassment, feeling that he had heard all these words, and said angrily: "Mom, what did you say? You are so suspicious of me? You believe everything Qiao Zhipeng says. , is he your biological son? Has he called you mom for so many years? When can you show respect to your biological daughter, don't let their father and son say what they say!"
"What are their father and son? That's your father and your brother!" Qiao's mother frowned, "You are really becoming more and more disobedient, just like what your father said, you are rambunctious outside. You teach a lesson now. Does your mother think your mother is confused? You don't even think about it. When your father died, how could I live with you as a woman? If your father hadn't taken us in, I think you would have starved to death, and you would have to Know how to be grateful, know how to respect him."
Qiao Zixin said helplessly: "I didn't disrespect him, but that doesn't mean I have to let him arrange my life, right? He asked me to be a junior clerk. I can't be promoted without an education. Can I be a junior clerk all my life? What's wrong with me now? I give you a family home every month, change a big house for you, and buy a car for Qiao Zhipeng. If I were a small clerk, would I be able to afford these? It's not enough to support myself."
"You said this again! Don't you just give the family some money? You haven't been with us all these years, and Xiaopeng has taken care of us. Shouldn't you give more subsidies to the family? Besides, you are a sister, not your father. My own, if you don't do anything more, can these people in the family accept you? It's okay, just tell me, what is your relationship with that director?"
"Friend, don't worry, I don't have a boyfriend." Qiao Zixin didn't want to say anything anymore. After arguing countless times, he couldn't say anything else.
Mother Qiao thought for a while and said, "You have to come back during the new year. Relatives will definitely mention you at gatherings. If you don't go home, you don't have family in your heart, which will embarrass me."
"Mom, I have a new movie to be released during the Spring Festival, and I have a job..."
"Don't look for those reasons. In short, you have to come back. You can set the time yourself, and tell me when you have set it. That's it, the long distance is very expensive."
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Qiao Zixin rubbed his forehead and threw the phone on the table. It has always been like this. Qiao's mother hangs up after saying what she wants to say. She doesn't care about her and doesn't listen to what she is saying. In a word, it was the family of three that made sense, and she was the only one who didn't make sense. Just because she's a girl, and she's also an oil bottle, not the man's own.
Xu Zifan brought out the soup, filled her a small bowl, and said with a smile: "Drink the soup, you made it yourself, you should drink more. I just tasted a few sips, and it was delicious."
Qiao Zixin looked at him and said in a low voice, "Sorry, my mother has that kind of personality. She feels that there are no good people in the entertainment industry, so it's not against you."
Xu Zifan smiled, "It doesn't matter, when have I ever cared about other people's opinions? It's you, it's hard work, do you want to talk about it?"
Qiao Zixin was stunned, lowered his head, picked up the spoon, and stirred the soup in the bowl unconsciously. After a while, he said, "Actually, this kind of thing is very common, so I'm pretty good. My house is a small town, and the folk customs are closed. When I was five years old, my father died of illness, and the family had no money. My mother could not get along with me alone. Later, someone introduced her to my current father, who is also widowed and has a four-year-old boy. They After I got married, I changed my surname to Qiao and lived with them. But Qiao's family is more patriarchal and treats me as an oil bottle. All relatives treat me lukewarm. My mother can't regenerate her body because she gave birth to me. , I will treat Qiao Zhipeng even more and want to raise him as my own son. So every year, only Qiao Zhipeng has new clothes to wear and new toys to play with. I can only wear the rest of my relatives and sisters and play with toys that Qiao Zhipeng doesn’t want.”
"It happened that I was poor in study and could only take the middle-level test no matter how hard I tried. They thought I was stupid and it was a waste of time to go to school. Why don't I find a job to help my family. I worked as a clerk for almost a year, and saw Qiao Zhipeng take the general college entrance examination. , they held a banquet for him to celebrate, and I felt a little unbalanced. I didn't want to live like that again. I came to Yanjing alone. I didn't expect that I was lucky. I thought I could finally raise my eyebrows, but I didn't expect them to be very opposed, my dad said that I was too embarrassed to talk about love in the movie."
Qiao Zixin laughed, "Actually, I've figured it out now. I'm very grateful to them for raising me, so I'm willing to give them retirement now. If Qiao Zhipeng's demands are not excessive, I'll satisfy him. After all, I don't make enough money in filming. Little, it's nothing to give them, just spend money to buy peace. But I don't want to go home. Those relatives of Qiao's family will preach when they see me. They firmly believe that the entertainment industry is a big dye vat, and there are no good people. It seems that Being a star is the same as what kind of unfair industry. Everyone has different ideas, and they are not happy with each other when they get together. I don’t know why my mother insisted on me going back this time. Maybe my relatives read more in her ears.”
Xu Zifan opened the itinerary in his mobile phone and looked at it, "Then do you want to go back? There are three days before and after the Spring Festival. You will go back on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month and on the first day of the new year. Is it alright?"
Qiao Zixin nodded, "Just these three days. I'll go back early and come back later."
Xu Zifan thought that in the original world, Qiao Zixin died alone. She had depression and no relatives were by her side. Presumably her mother didn't have much affection for her. Just asking Qiao Zixin to go back, he was a little worried and said, "I'll go back with you. I'll stay in the hotel then, and we'll go together when we leave. If you have any business, go to me directly, don't be wronged."
Looking at him, Qiao Zixin couldn't help laughing and said: "I am so old, how can I make myself wronged? But you are celebrating the New Year alone here, just go to my house and see where I grew up. They gather together. When playing mahjong, I will accompany you to go out for a walk."
"good."
The two agreed on the itinerary, and Qiao Zixin told Qiao's mother. She only said that she would go back and did not mention Xu Zifan, lest Qiao's mother scolded her again.
The work related to "Life is Beautiful" has been busy until the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. After that, Xu Zifan explained the company's affairs properly and returned to his hometown with Qiao Zixin. There was no airport in that small town, so they could only fly to a nearby third-tier city and take the train home.
After getting off the bus, Qiao Zixin took him to their best hotel and let Xu Zifan settle down. The room is not big, it is a big bed room, but fortunately it is very clean, and it also has a private bathroom, computer and TV. They came by coincidence, and it happened to be the last one left, and they had to go to other small hotels later.
Seeing Qiao Zixin checking the facilities in the house, Xu Zifan smiled and said, "Just stay for two days, as long as it doesn't get wet. Go back quickly, they may check the time."
Qiao Zixin nodded, put on a hat, scarf and glasses, wrapped himself tightly, and warned, "If you are not familiar with your life, don't go to a remote place, and tell me where you are going."
"Okay, I won't go out, don't worry. It's you, remember to call me if you have anything. I'm open 24 hours a day."
"Yeah." Qiao Zixin smiled, frowning, and waved at him out of the door. Every time she went home, she felt a sense of depression, but this time, because of Xu Zifan's company, she felt very relaxed, and she didn't seem so repulsive to listen to people talking about going home.
