Chapter 72: Jumei is launched
In the morning, Ding Le was woken up by the sound of the TV in the living room, and the CCTV news was broadcasting the snowstorm that swept the south.
At this moment, most of southern China has been affected by low temperatures, rain, snow, and freezing disasters, so that countless wanderers who are like arrows cannot go home to gather with their relatives during the Spring Festival, and are frozen on the way home.
Watching Ding Le rub his worried eyes and walk out of the bedroom, his mother urged as always: "Hurry up and get up, just wait for you to have breakfast!"
Ding Le changed his clothes, washed up, and sat down at the table to have breakfast with his parents, which was the first time he had breakfast with his parents after he arrived at the marketing department of the new district.
Compared with those who are trapped on the way home, Ding Le is undoubtedly happy at this moment. But looking at his parents' pale cheeks, he was a little sad. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait.
In his previous life, after he worked, he had been living in the dormitory of the unit, and later indulged in stock speculation after work, and he did not spend much time with his parents, and the communication between them became less and less.
After breakfast, Ding Le sat on the sofa and chatted with his father, while his mother was busy in the kitchen.
"How is your uncle in Hong Kong?" the father took the initiative to care for his brother.
"He's nourishing over there, and his recent investments have been a success!" replied Ding Le.
"Alas, your grandparents left early, and before they died, they instructed us to take care of the younger ones, and we all just got married at that time, and we neglected to care about your uncle. The death of his parents also hit him hard, and later he insisted on dropping out of school and going out to wander, but our brothers and sisters couldn't stop him. "My father began to tell the story of my uncle's past.
"Your aunt, uncle and I are very sorry for your uncle, he has not heard from him for a few years when he first went out, until he felt that he had mixed up with the appearance, so he contacted us again, and he has suffered a lot outside over the years!"
Listening to his father talk about Ding Jianye's past, Ding Le's understanding of his uncle was more specific and profound.
"Dad, let the past pass, isn't it very good now, maybe I'll find a celebrity aunt in Hong Kong one day!" Ding Le said comforting his father.
"You kid, you know how to talk nonsense!" the father was amused by Ding Le's prophecy.
"Tomorrow at noon, Haizhou Hotel, please eat at your aunt's house, don't forget!" Dad finally admonished.
"It's your uncle who invites them to dinner at noon on the second day of the new year, so don't run around and come with us!" the mother shouted in the kitchen.
Hearing his parents' words, Ding Le suddenly felt a little big, in fact, his feelings for his relatives at home were very weak, he was like this in his previous life, and it still hasn't changed now. But he couldn't go against his parents' wishes, so he had to hold back and agree.
Haizhou Chinese New Year's Eve has the custom of "sweeping the dust", that is, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the house is cleaned inside and out, and then the couplet is pasted, and the family has a reunion dinner in the evening.
After Ding Le chatted with his father for a while, under his mother's arrangement, the family began to be busy "sweeping the dust".
After the old house was cleaned up, my mother led the family to clean Vanke's house. By the time the houses on both sides were cleaned up and the couplets were pasted, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
After his parents left, Ding Le saw that the time was still early, and he called Xu Jing again, and Ding Le wanted to invite Xu Jing to his home to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together, but Xu Jing politely refused.
"It's not the first time to spend the Spring Festival alone, you should spend more time with your parents!"
After Ding Le calmed down, he thought that he was indeed a bit Meng Lang, his parents knew about Xia Xiao's existence, and he couldn't explain it to his parents if he brought Xu Jing home at this time.
......
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the reunion dinner, Ding Le and his father had a drink, and the family was happy.
After eating, the family watched the Spring Festival Gala in front of the TV, and the ratings of the 2008 Spring Festival Gala were still very high, and people's demand for spiritual culture was not as picky as ten years later.
The theme of the 2008 Spring Festival Gala was "Harmony and Prosperity, Unity and Progress", and when watching Zhu Jun and Li Yong take the stage to report the opening speech, Ding Le felt in a trance again. Ten years later, one of them was deeply involved in a harassment scandal, and the other was diagnosed with cancer and went to the other side of the ocean for treatment.
SHE took the stage to sing "Chinese Words", watching the 3 profitable girls singing and dancing on TV, who would have thought that the now popular Taiwanese group would announce its dissolution after 2 years, and the members of the group would embark on their respective career paths.
The most regrettable thing is Selina, who was burned by the blasting effect during the filming, and suffered third-degree burns on nearly 40–50% of her body, which greatly affected her life.
The farthest in her singing career is Tian Fuzhen, after flying solo, her singing career went to the next level, and she once became the hottest female singer in the three places.
The parents were old, and they went to rest at ten o'clock, but Ding Le always insisted on seeing the end. It's not that he likes to watch these shows much, he just wants to help him get back some memories of his past life through these shows.
Jay Chou's song "Blue and White Porcelain" was put to the penultimate appearance of the zero o'clock time, at this moment, he is still at his peak, since his debut, he has made his mark on the Chinese music scene with a unique style, and he will be popular every year when he releases new songs. But after 2008, he gradually began to gradually step down from the altar, but he influenced a whole generation.
After the seven aerospace heroes appeared, followed by the zero o'clock time, when all the hosts who appeared on the scene counted down and shouted 0, congratulations to the New Year, suddenly there was a crackling sound outside the window, and the whole world began to set off firecrackers, shaking the night sky to tremble, and the New Year arrived. Hearing the sound outside the window, Ding Le also carried a string of firecrackers and went downstairs to light it.
Because every household sets off firecrackers after midnight, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, I can't sleep soundly, and it is not until dawn in the morning that the outside world stops, and then Ding Le can sleep a little more steadily.
When it was close to noon, his father knocked on the door again to remind him to go out to attend the reunion dinner at his aunt's house. After the death of the grandparents, the eldest aunt, as the eldest sister, organizes a family dinner for the Lao Ding family every Chinese New Year to maintain the inheritance between brothers and sisters and between this family.
At the dinner table, the whole family talked about what had happened in the past year. Everyone is curious about the current situation of the uncle. Looking at the eyes of everyone asking him one after another, Ding Le had no choice but to briefly talk about the recent situation of his uncle in Hong Kong.
In the bull market last year, my aunt and uncle made a lot of profits from the stock market under the control of Ding Jianye, and the withdrawn funds entered the property market decisively. Watching the current stock market turn from bull to bear, everyone is grateful to Ding Jianye and Ding Le.
After three rounds of drinking, the elders began to reminisce about the past years, feeling guilty for not taking good care of Ding Jianye back then, and Ding Le had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and bow his head to eat.
During the banquet, he and several cousins also chatted about some topics, most of them studied in the imperial capital and the magic capital, and some of them had already entered the society. Regarding their future plans, Ding Le only suggested one thing to them, and that was to buy a house as soon as possible.
Ten years later, the housing prices of the imperial capital and the magic capital are world-famous. No matter how expensive it is now, as long as you buy it, you will be a winner in life in ten years.
In the second year of junior high school, he continued to eat, and his mother Fang Hongli did not have many relatives, and Ding Le only had one uncle. My grandfather and grandmother are still alive, and I have been living with my uncle's family, and my uncle and aunt are also teachers. Ding Le still pretended to be deaf and dumb, bowing his head and eating vegetables.
In the third year of junior high school, Ding Le followed his parents to visit the temple fair, and the City God Temple was crowded, and there were festivals everywhere.
