Chapter 139: Autumn Evening
October 6th, Mid-Autumn Festival. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the eyes of Koreans, Autumn is as significant as the Spring Festival. Almost everyone put down their work on this day and rushed home to worship their ancestors. Xu Canhao is no exception.
On this day, everyone wears hanbok (men can wear formal clothes, that is, suits). Father Xu and Uncle Xu knelt side by side in front of the memorial table where the rich offerings were placed at home, and Xu Canhao and Xu Cheng were there, kneeling behind the two fathers in the same posture. The unmarried daughter of the family, Xu Zhuxian, knelt behind her brother. Seo's mother, Kang Ji-hyo and Hwang Mi-young waited respectfully (the two mothers were only responsible for preparing the sacrifices and removing the offerings).
"Hey~" After the ancestor worship, Mother Xu and Jiang Zhixiao jointly brought a large pot of muffins and put them on the table.
"Isn't it, eating this again?!" Xu Cheng called out the hearts of everyone who was speechless.
"How much have you done?" Father Xu asked. Last night, the four women were chatting and making muffins, and these big men didn't even look at it and didn't care.
"Well, that's all." Mother Xu turned her head and pointed to the cabinet behind her.
"......" Do you remember the bathtub where Xiaoxian washed the sheets with her feet? Not it, but a steel basin the size of it lay next to the cupboard, filled with black and white muffins. Before Xu Mu served this pot, there was a pyramid of muffins.
"Hehe, you can eat until Christmas..."Xu Canhao smiled stiffly.
"Don't worry, there's this." Mother Xu brought another big pot of spicy soup. Kang Ji-hyo put pickles, pickles and the like on a plate and put them on the table.
"What is this?" Father Xu stirred in the red soup with a spoon and found octopus whiskers.
"Ah, that, Dad's stuff (Grandpa Xu Canhao loved to eat live octopus whiskers when he was alive, so every time he paid tribute to the dead, Father Xu would buy a huge live octopus as a sacrifice.) )。 Mother Xu said indifferently, this is not the first time their family has eaten sacrifices.
"Awaji (father)!" Father Xu suddenly hugged the pot of soup and cried loudly, startling several people present.
"Ouch~ Again, again, again." Mother Xu said, walked into the kitchen, and fished out the sacrificial big octopus from the pool. "Your dad is here."
"Oh, yes. Let's eat. Father Xu changed his face and returned to normal, beckoning everyone to move. The Xu family seems to have gotten used to Xu's father's slight nervousness, and he looks like a human being, using chopsticks to pick up vegetables. Only Huang Meiying has not yet reacted, she has been in a state of ignorance and at the mercy of others since this morning.
------------------------------------
It was hard to rest today, Xu Canhao took this rare opportunity to nest in the sofa in his own room, holding "Chrysanthemum and Knife" and tasting it. Dressed in cotton, plain close-fitting casual pants and barefoot, he can breathe fresh air in every pore of his body. Autumn sunlight is rarely mischievous, and after it climbs to the dome, it maintains a constant temperature for a long time. The sprinkling of light particles gathers in the glass house, warming every corner of the room. In the same way, they also bring human willpower to the test.
"Oppa is asleep, let's go out." The three children in the family rushed in, and it could be seen that his brother had a lunch break, and Xu Xian wanted to quit again.
"Awake, come in." Xu Canhao took the book off his face and sat up. He wasn't actually sleeping, he was thinking about someone.
"Hyong, Metal Slug walking?" Xu Cheng is now about to catch up with Xu Canhao in this kid's height, and jumped to his brother's side and said.
"Play your sister, you know how to play games all day long. I know all about your report card, and all the bullshit you've done. Xu Canhao angrily knocked the book on his head. In this family, only himself and Father Xu can take him down. "Come up with me." Xu Canhao slapped him on the back of the head again.
"Eh~" Xu Cheng was covering his head, and reluctantly stood up and followed.
"Ernie, do you want something to drink?" The two girls didn't talk about the brothers, Xu Xian went into the small kitchen when he came in, hummed a little song by himself, and mixed cocoa drinks.
"Okay." Huang Meiying answered, picked up the book "Chrysanthemum and the Knife", and flipped through it casually.
"Ernie, have you chosen the song for this monthly exam?" Seo Hyun brought two cups of hot cocoa with cute marshmallows and put them on the coffee table. As he spoke, he sat down on the couch with his legs curled.
"This time it's a scope question, and Sika helped me pick 'Me to You'. (Interlude from "If Love Has Providence", a classic song.) What about you? Huang Meiying put the book on her lap and turned her head to ask.
“《i.believe》。 Teacher Yongjin helped me and Sister Taeyeon choose it, saying that it was his assessment and let us sing together. Xu Xian reached out to straighten his bangs and brushed his long hair behind his ears.
"Can the chorus add points~ Has it been changed?"
"Well, I changed it with Sister Taeyeon, and I passed it with Yong-jin-sensei, so we can sing it."
"That's right. Show me the score? ”
"I'll sing it and tell you in sections." Xu Xian became a commentary teacher with a clear eye, teaching Huang Meiying to sing the changed "i.believe". The two had a harmonious voice of talking and laughing, and when it was up, Huang Meiying unconsciously soared into a high note.
"Vanney, be quieter." Hearing Xu Canhao's complaint, Huang Meiying leaned over and stuck out her tongue at Xiaoxian with a smile to show her apology.
In view of this, the two girls reined in their behavior and stopped singing. Instead, after whispering to each other, he quietly went upstairs to see what the two brothers were doing.
"Oppa, what are you doing?" When Xu Xian came up, his brother was getting up, and his brother was sitting on the sofa with headphones on and holding a book of practical English.
"As you can see. This kid can't learn anything else, but he's still quite talented in languages. Let's go down and let him stay here~" Xu Canhao said as he pushed the two girls downstairs. As he turned the corner, he glared at Xu Cheng again, and stretched out his palms and waved them back and forth around his neck. Warning him to be conscious, otherwise...
"What were you just singing?" Xu Canhao walked into the small kitchen, soaked in a glass of honey water, and asked.
"This monthly exam, and Sister Taeyeon's chorus song." After Xu Xian turned on the TV, he brought his cocoa and sat cross-legged on the sofa as usual.
"Hmm. Fanny, there are fruits in the kitchen fridge, snacks in the cupboard, if you want to eat it, take it yourself, don't learn so many etiquette from others. Xu Canhao put his hands in his trouser pockets, and his legs were stacked on top of each other on the white birch coffee table. Lazily resting her head on her sister's shoulder, feeling the scent of her hair, she suddenly felt satisfied, and let the smile crawl all over her face.
"Sister, go get it, my brother's hiding is all brought back from the United States, my sister will definitely like it." Xu Xian knew that Huang Meiying was not full for lunch, and she was not used to the unbalanced food pairings at home.
Huang Meiying really didn't fill her stomach much, and seeing that the brother and sister were tired of being together, she had to trot to find food by herself, and by the way, she got some fruit to satisfy the hunger of a few people.
"Stop!" Chan-ho asks his sister to tune back to KBS Sports Channel. The highlights of this year's World Cup are being broadcast inside, and the soundtrack is very emotional, "Irresistible" ---- Shakira. In a busy year, he didn't have time to pay attention to this feast, so he hadn't watched a live ball game, and he had a little regret.
"It seems that our national team only has a 17th place..."Xiaoxian didn't pay attention to this, but occasionally heard other boys in the company talk about it.
"Well, Ahn Jung-hwan is the best performer in this team." Xu Canhao sat up and took a sip of honey water, his eyes never left the TV. After just five minutes of football highlights, the next news was that the reporter went to Toronto to interview Kim Yuna, who is training and is known as the Korean butterfly butterfly. "With her body and appearance, it is enough to be an artist, why bother to get injured like now."
"She's a lot like Sister Bao'er."
"Oh, you know what you know?"
"Brother Zai likes her very much. Our teacher also talked about her in class, and also mentioned her brother. ”
"Oh, is it? Let's talk about it. ”
At the '05 World Junior Championships, she used her brother's song, "You... UP" won the second place, saying thank you very much for coming. I love your song "facking" perfect because it gives her encouragement. OPPA doesn't know? ”
Xu Canhao shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that I am very derelict in my duties~ Wait and pay attention to this person, so that we can compare Bao'er with her." ”
At this time, Huang Meiying brought a plate of unpeeled, cut apples and oranges. After putting it down, he turned back to the kitchen and brought a lot of snacks.
"Aren't you afraid of gaining weight and eating these high-calorie ones?" Xu Canhao tugged at the potato chips on the table and the beautifully packaged fragrant river chocolate.
"Don't be afraid! Just exercise after eating! Perhaps because of the popularity of food, Huang Meiying was very interested, and said to Xu Canhao with squinting eyes.
Xu Canhao listened to her words and smiled silently. Get up and go upstairs to see Xu Cheng there, and take down the computer by the way. "Stinky boy." He stepped forward angrily and funny, slapped Xu Cheng on the head, and slapped him awake. "It's only been so long since you've been asleep! Sober me up and think about my future. Xu Canhao stopped at the point, turned around and took the computer and went downstairs. Left behind to cheer himself up, and once again pretended to be a serious reading brother.
"What is this?" There is an anime on the TV that you can recognize at a glance as a Japanese manga.
"Let's Jump! Girl of Time and Space". Both girls were too busy stuffing things into their mouths that they didn't want to say much.
Xu Canhao looked at it for a while, but was not interested, and instead hugged the computer, browsing through miscellaneous information. "It seems that Perry's publicity is quite successful~" He rubbed his chin with short stubble while looking at the video of Perry's cover of ", with a click rate of more than two million and rave reviews. Then, I entered my blog and wrote a supportive and praise blog post for my little sister, supporting the Baiwen heroine. '7.12 million... It's not as fast as expected. However, in the second half of the year, counting Hana's sales, it should be able to win steadily. If he can win a few important awards next year, Baiwen will be able to overlook the crowd in this industry. In this case, the issue of listing should not be delayed any longer, otherwise I will not be sure that I will not be involved in 08. When the time comes, Daisy will have so many shares in hand that it will definitely multiply the risk. If there is no one to share the risk, I can't guarantee that it will..."Although Xu Canhao looked at this year's album sales report sent by the company, the thoughts in his mind had already deviated from this matter. That crisis has always worried him. Even if he has a precautionary plan in his heart and begins to implement part of it, he can't escape his instincts for things that are too powerful in the future and can't control them, and he can't avoid being vulgar, and he is afraid.
"Oppa, shall we go skiing this winter?" Maybe it's because the animation thinks about herself, and the little girl is interested in this.
"Hehe, okay. I'll go with you if time permits, but I'd like to try it too. "I only saw it from afar in my previous life, and Xu Canhao, who has expectations, feels that now that he has the conditions, he should make up for his past regrets. Not only mentioned skiing, but also reminded him of Kim Yuna who had just talked to his sister. On a casual note, I typed the girl's name on the Google search page. 'God~ This kid is more than Bao'er Niu. Thinking of this, he also subconsciously glanced at the two smiling girls. 'It's really paranoid that the family is in trouble and donates their own bonuses... This coach is also...' Xu Canhao often feels ambivalent about this stubborn kindness. When you are not rich, and you even need material things more, you want to give this away, if you are sincere and sincere, it is worthy of admiration. It's just that there is more than one such touching character by her side. In order to prevent this piece of jade from being buried, her South Korean coach took out his salary and allowances and sent her to train abroad, which caused dissatisfaction among many members of the team. You must know that countries with scarce resources have limited projects to support. This makes it not so difficult to understand the behavior of athletes competing for limited resources in order to participate in various competitions, such as stumbling and intrigue with their teammates.
"I really don't know the goods. For the little girl's insistence, I should also give some friendship sponsorship. Such a big potential stock is placed on the surface, but no one cares about it. Even if the take-up period is a little longer, it can be regarded as a contribution to the cultivation of talents for the country. A group of capitalists who have lost money, how boring your life should be~" Xu Canhao thought that he might pick up a treasure, and in a happy mood, he couldn't help but ridicule. took the mobile phone from the coffee table, thought about it and decided to call Li Renhe, this matter should be given to CH in order to maximize the benefits. I wanted to bring e-life, but its funds already belonged to the plan, and there was no extra room to do other things. "Did you have a good holiday? Sorry for this time to talk to you about business. There's something I want you to deal with tomorrow when you go to the company. Does Kim Yuna know? That's easy to do. You contact her brokerage team in the name of the company and say we sponsor it. It's okay to wait for her to return to China and then sign it. I don't need to talk about anything else, right? So, you take care of the children at home, haha~ goodbye. ”
"Oppa, you're really... Sponsor her like that? "Xu Xian still had a hard time accepting it, so... Looks like a reckless brother.
"yes, what else? Do you still have to make an appointment to meet people and stage a few dramas where you beg me and I beg you? Dizzy, I know! Dare you not believe your brother's vision and judgment, our years of relationship have been in vain~" Xu Canhao pretended to be a mulberry heart, covered his face and lay down on the sofa, and rested his raised legs on his sister's legs.
Seo Hyun ignored his joke and scratched the soles of his brother's feet with his fingers, easily making him retract his legs that were in the way. "Ernie, do you want to dance? The event was active. Xiaoxian got up and walked over to the TV, opened the drawer, and took out the two dance mats inside.
“ok!” Huang Meiying jumped up with a smile and jumped to Xiaoxian's side.
"Then you guys play, remember to clean up. I'm going to see how dinner is, I can't do it myself, I don't want to eat that muffin anymore, I want to vomit when I think about it~" Xu Canhao moved his hands and feet twice, put on his slippers and walked out of the house. "Hmm~~ah! I really want to be able to rest every day. Standing under the wooden corridor, stretching his waist and arms in the clear water and sunset, he moaned comfortably. The voices of human figures attracted groups of koi to be fed, stirring the pond water to roll endlessly for a while. Looking at these, Xu Canhao couldn't help but be distracted, and there was a voice on his lips: "There are so many people who need to be fed, and I want to rest, it's too early..."
