71. Chapter 71
After Xie Yu hung up the phone, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, anyway, isn't he already used to this look, in fact, it's not too surprising.
In fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago, but I still had a little hope at that moment, but I didn't expect that Xie Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, and he was still like a child with those unreliable thoughts when he was old.
Xia Rui stood at the door and poked her head in, and was stunned when she saw Xie Yu's somewhat lonely smile on her face, and then acted as if she hadn't seen it, "It's time to eat." ”
Xie Yu raised his head, and when he saw Xia Rui standing at the door of the study poking his head in, his expression quickly changed, and he became that humble and polite again, and he couldn't see that there was such a lonely look on his face just now.
"Okay." Xie Yu stood up and responded with a smile.
It's really a powerful acting school!
Xia Rui couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it was difficult to win the award for this acting act, and the ability to change feelings in an instant was already an old cow, if she hadn't just seen it, I was afraid that when I saw it now, I would have thought that he had always been like this.
"What are you thinking?" Xie Yu walked to the door and saw that Xia Rui was still standing there motionless, so he couldn't help but bow his head and ask, "If you feel unhappy, I'll leave in a while." ”
"Am I such a stingy person?" Xia Rui glanced over, "Stay honest, if you say you want to leave, how can I explain to my grandfather?" When the time comes, you'll think I'm driving you away. ”
"Then you definitely can't carry this black cauldron." Xie Yu said with a smile, does he look like this kind of person?
"Forget it, my family is not such a stingy person, you can stay and celebrate the New Year together. I'm afraid that when you go back, you won't even have a bowl of cabbage noodles. ”
Xia Rui said, today's day even buses and supermarkets will close the car earlier, he went back alone, it is estimated that it will be deserted, plus he just looked like that, don't look at the age over there, but this mental ability has nothing to do with age, and it is not impossible to cry secretly behind the back if you think of something sad.
Xie Yu thought about it, he had just moved in, and he really hadn't started a fire at home, and the refrigerator was basically empty, if it was a normal day, he might still be able to find someone to deliver food, but today it is really possible that he can't even find a place to deliver food, unless he goes out, there is still food in the huge Beijing city.
"That's a real possibility. I just moved in, and I didn't have anything in the house, and the refrigerator was probably still empty. Xie Yu said, "I didn't expect it to be Chinese New Year's Eve now." ”
He also rarely pays attention to the days, and usually only pays attention to the scenes that are filmed when he stays in the crew, and there are still a few days to finish, and after he came back, he has been busy moving, but he really didn't pay attention to the New Year.
The Xia family is also accustomed to the do-it-yourself atmosphere of the New Year, so at about nowhere in the afternoon, the Xia family of four was busy in the kitchen, although the Xia family did not let Xie Yu into the kitchen, but Xie Yu still went into the kitchen to help, after all, it was not his demeanor to see people busy and idle here, and as a result, he became an army of dumplings filling.
After the filling was chopped, Xia's mother added seasoning to the filling and stirred it, Xia's father rolled up his sleeves and began to roll out the dumpling skin, and Xia Rui also washed his hands and began to make dumplings, the wrapped dumplings are still very good-looking, compared to the outside dumpling shop, the dumplings are also tricky, there is a pitted red date in it, and there is also a cleaned coin after adding the filling, and the speed is very fast when the dumplings are wrapped.
"What's wrong?" After Mother Xia mixed the dumpling filling, she couldn't help but smile when she saw Xie Yu standing aside and watching Xia Rui make dumplings, "In addition to Rui Rui's ability to eat, she can still make some food and rice and make dumplings." Oh, and her wonton buns are pretty good, too. ”
As she spoke, Xia's mother took the dumpling wrappers and began to wrap them.
Xie Yu nodded, there were two vegetarian dishes cooked by Xia Rui in the lunch, the taste was very good, and they could catch up with the chef's skills, I heard that Xia Rui was best at making vegetarian dishes, but even when she usually cooked, she had to be lucky, so if she wanted to eat the vegetarian dishes she made, he had to catch up with the good time today, if he hadn't eaten such a meal at Xia's house today, he really didn't know that Xia Rui still had this skill.
"Xia Rui's vegetarian dishes are delicious." Xie Yu said that when he thought of the taste of those two vegetables, he couldn't believe that this was made by the person who had to order meat to eat barbecue, and he originally thought that what she was good at should be big meat dishes.
"She learned it herself, and she is still quite talented in it, and she is the best at the most vegetarian dish in our family." Mother Xia said a little proudly, this craft is also a thing that gives her a long face, and now I feel a little proud when I think about it.
What kind of talent, that was learned from the cook in the imperial dining room in the palace in the previous life.
Xia Rui thought to herself, at that time, where could there be so many seasonings like now, the cooks in the imperial dining room also had real skills, plus at that time, the queen mother also had to be vegetarian for a while, plus the queen mother was a fasting and chanting Buddha on weekdays, so the chef in the palace was also very good at vegetarian food, plus in order to please the emperor, which woman in the palace had no ability, she was close to the queen mother who usually took care of herself at that time, and often accompanied the Buddha to eat vegetarian, After all, the Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, and pleasing the Queen Mother is also one of the rules for the survival of the harem, so naturally you have to spend some time on vegetarian food.
Although it is true that there is no queen mother now, my grandfather is not young, and the food he eats on weekdays is mainly light, so she will often cook some vegetarian food to please the old man.
"Mom, what you said, if you say so, then when I graduate in the future, I will open a vegetarian restaurant to make vegetarian food." Xia Rui said, "Mom, what do you think?" ”
"Ouch, how many times do you cook, do your own calculations? It's rare that the next time you go to open a vegetarian restaurant in the kitchen, your vegetarian restaurant has to be closed every day, or you have to fish for three days and dry your nets for two days. Xia's mother snorted, "Would you like to let you stay in the kitchen every day?" Smoke all day long, and you won't be able to watch it then! ”
"I don't want to." Xia Rui said that she didn't like the kitchen much in the first place, and it was fun to cook occasionally, unless she really wanted to go the way of a cook, but she didn't want to take this path.
"Wrap your dumplings!" Mother Xia stretched out her hand and pointed at Xia Rui's nose, leaving a small white spot on the tip of her nose, where did she not know her daughter's temperament, just said that this is to make people happy.
Xia Rui leaned on her mother's body, with a coquettish face, Xia's mother also enjoyed the feeling of being tired of her daughter, smiling happily, Xia Yan had already washed her hands, and came over to help Xia's father roll the skin, the feeling of that family was very warm, and Xie Yu's heart was also warm, the family he was thinking about was probably like the Xia family, no matter how much money he earned, it would still be like this family in the kitchen with dumplings and doing housework.
This is what a family should look like, right?
Xie Yu smiled, and also took the dumpling skin to wrap it together, but he had never done this kind of thing before, so when he wrapped the dumplings, the action was not too sharp, Xia's mother also saw that Xie Yu was not good at doing this kind of thing, and was happy to teach, after all, Xia Han was not good at making dumplings in the family, so he rolled the dumplings in Chinese New Year's Eve as much as he could, although his son's head was not too good-looking, but it was also qualified, and finally came to such a novice, Mother Xia has a feeling of pointing out spring and autumn.
This meal on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve is also extraordinarily lively, the rice is five-grain rice, a good dish on the table.
Xia Han also took a bottle of red wine out of his wine cabinet, and Xia Rui was the only one on the table drinking juice, and the red wine was not allowed to be touched.
"Dad, I'll be eighteen after the New Year, and you don't plan to let me take a sip tonight?" Xia Rui looked at the red wine on the table, and the wine glass in front of her was filled with more than half a cup of juice, and instantly felt that she was the outlier among them.
"Then we have to talk about it after twelve o'clock!" Xia Han smiled and said, "It's not twelve o'clock yet, you don't count, you just drink juice." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll drink the juice." Xia Rui didn't say anything, her family is a minor who drinks juice or milk, and now she is still juice alone, but it is a little better than milk.
"I wish everyone a happy new year in advance, and all wishes come true!" Xia Han raised the red wine glass in his hand and said with a smile, "Xie Yu wishes you a good start to the New Year, and next year will still be prosperous, thank you for taking care of our family Rui Rui before!" ”
"Uncle, you're polite, this is as it should be," Xie Yu stood up, raised the red wine glass in his hand and touched Xia Han's wine glass lightly, "I also wish you all the best for the New Year, uncle, I wish the old man good health, I wish my aunt all the best, Xia Rui and I will always take care of it, you can rest assured!" ”
As soon as Xia Yan heard this, he couldn't help but hum: "Don't say it as if we are going to marry Rui Rui to you." "Why does that sound so weird, he did it on purpose, right?
As soon as Xia Han heard this, he almost coughed out of the sip of wine he had just drunk, and he looked at his son, "How do you speak?" ”
But when I think about it when my son says this, it really sounds a little weird, and it must have been affected.
Xia Han silently erased the uncomfortable place in his heart, and beckoned: "Come on, come on, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" ”
Xia Yan: "......" Is he serious, okay, his father hasn't reacted yet, just wait for this reflex arc to wait for one day.
Xie Yu's expression was as usual and he just smiled at Xia Yan, and did not make any explanation for what he just said, but this action was even more angry in Xia Yan's eyes, but he couldn't say anything in front of him, so as not to toss this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it is rare for the family to get together Why make such an ugly fuss for an outsider, anyway, after dinner, this person will get out, and he will not be allowed to step into the house in the future.
As soon as Xia Yan thought of this, he felt a lot of peace in his heart, and there was still a bit of smugness in his eyebrows, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, even if this person lived in a community, how could it be, as long as he was no longer allowed to step into the house, could he still climb over the wall and enter the door, forgive him for not having the courage to do so!
"Yes, that's what I said just now," Xia Yan said, he looked at Xie Yu and said, "I wish you more big screens next year, the film department is on fire." ”
Next year, I hope you can take more films and go out more, and it's best not to appear in front of us again, so that I can feel at ease!
"Oh, actually, I'm going to slow down for a few years, the previous few years were too hard, so I thought about taking less scripts and more recuperation in the past few years." How could Xie Yu not hear what Xia Yan meant.
"Then what's the matter, you see that you are also young and promising, if you don't take advantage of the past few years to produce more works, then it won't be good if there will be a lot of newcomers in the circle, I think you should work hard for the position of Oscar winner." Yes, you can fight hard for the little golden man.
"There is no such thing, although the little golden man is indeed very attractive, but this kind of thing has always been my life, and no one knows what will happen in the future. I'm not too young anymore, and I've already worked hard when I should have worked hard, so I can take a proper break. As for newcomers, there are a lot of potential newcomers in the circle every year, and as a senior, I feel very happy to see such a scene. After all, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves. ”
"The waves don't die on the beach, I think as a man still has to have a fighting spirit, you should fight while you are still young, or you want to fight again when you are old, and then you will be powerless. By that time, I don't know how to regret it, don't you think? ”
"Lao Ji is in the twilight of his life, and his heart is strong. I don't think it's too late as long as you have the heart. Besides, even if it's a few years later, I think I should still have some spare strength, and the inflated height in the early stage is not good, maybe it will collapse when it will collapse, I think the main thing is to stabilize the situation, and it may be more beneficial to properly calm down and improve my level. ”
"You ......"
"I said," Xia Rui looked at the two people who came and went speechlessly, "Are you here at the international debate tournament?" Are you sure you can fill your stomach on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve just by talking? Could you please feel the food and the people who eat at the same table? ”
You two still don't let people eat, if you don't let people eat, you two go out to debate, you don't want to eat, I still want to eat! Xia Rui stared at the two of them, her expression full of warning.
"I'm sorry." Xie Yu apologized first, "It's me who didn't pay attention to the occasion, old man, uncle and aunt are embarrassed." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, let's eat, it's not too late for us to talk after eating, we have to keep the New Year tonight."
Xia Han also waved his hand, Xie Yu can't be blamed for this matter, he also looked at his son, and felt that Xia Yan, a bastard boy, has always been the type who doesn't care about anyone, and he has never been such a person who has an active dialogue at the dinner table, unless it is necessary, he will speak, but he will not be so-for-tat when he speaks, besides, Xie Yu's plan to reduce production next year is not his own business, why is this kid so excited? is still persuading people to work hard while they are young, when did they become such chicken soup for the soul? This is not at all like the reaction he would have!
Xia Han looked at his wife in confusion, and what he saw was also a person with a confused face, and the two of them looked at each other, and they felt that it was indeed a little unclear, and then couldn't help but look at Xia Rui again, wanting to get a little hint from his daughter, but unfortunately, Xia Rui didn't pay attention to her parents at all.
"Rui Rui, Dad gave you a red envelope for the New Year!" Xia Han took out a red envelope from his pocket as if he had thought of something, the thickness of the red envelope was not large, but the cover was printed with the three big words "New Year's money" very appropriately, and Xia Han winked at Xia Rui when he handed out the red envelope.
Xia Rui didn't know what it meant for her dad to wink at her, she took the red envelope and pinched it, and then looked up at her dad, seeing that her dad winked at her again, squeezing his eyebrows.
"Dad, I love you forever!" Xia Rui thought that her father was reminding her to say nice things, so she smiled happily at her father without saying a word.
……
Xia Han also laughed: "Dad will always love you." "Actually, I want to ask what kind of wind your brother just smoked.
As soon as Xia Han's red envelope came out, the old man, Xia's mother and Xia Han all took out a red envelope for New Year's money, in exchange for Xia Rui's happy smile, which is also the annual custom of the Xia family, and only Xia Rui can still get red envelopes every year, and she also received several red envelopes back when she had a party yesterday.
Xie Yu looked at Xia Rui, who received the red envelope and ate like a little hamster, and smiled, "I didn't prepare a gift for you in a hurry today, so I'll make up for it for you later." ”
The corners of Xia Rui's mouth twitched, and when she heard Xie Yu say the gift, she felt a sense of foreboding, the last time she said that she wanted to give her a gift, she gave her a hairball, this time she didn't plan to give her another hairball, right?
This is the rhythm that is intended to make her a professional shoveler.
Xie Yu knew what she was thinking when she saw Xia Rui's expression, and couldn't help but smile at the moment, well, it seems that the gift of Mao Tuan really left a deep impression on her, and it is estimated that what she is thinking about now is whether she will give her another cat. But this time it's not really that.
After having dinner at Xia's house, Xie Yu decided to leave after helping to sort it out, after all, this day has been chattering in Xia's house for a long time, and he is embarrassed to talk about it again.
This time, the old man didn't keep much, just let Xie Yu have time to come and sit, of course he also promised to come down, and this promise made Xia Yan even more like a big enemy, and he rolled his eyes vigorously in the place where the old man and others saw, and it was sour in his heart.
Xia Yan personally sent Xie Yu out, that gesture was not too polite, but it definitely couldn't be regarded as embarrassing to him, after all, Xia Yan was also an elite in front of people, even if he didn't have a good impression of people, he wouldn't make that kind of scolding and out of style action, as long as he was silent with a strained face, he could make people feel worried in their hearts.
Xia Yan has been sending Xie Yu to the seat at the gate, standing outside the door, Xia Yan's face is a little cold under the dim street lamp, the temperature outside at night is extremely low, and the snow has not yet melted on the dwarf trees planted on the lawn outside the door.
"Goodbye, Mr. Xie." Xia Yan said.
"Goodbye, Brother Xia." Xie Yu said.
Xia Yan was slightly upset when she heard Xie Yu's words, and she was a little dissatisfied, "I don't think you seem to be much younger than me, right?" ”
"No, there is still a year difference, although it is only a year old, I think it is also appropriate to call you big brother." Xie Yu said.
"Then you might as well call me Mr. Xia." Xia Yan said, "This title is too intimate, it seems that it shouldn't be used on you and me, after all, we haven't been close to this point yet." ”
"If I call you Mr. Xia, then I won't be able to call Uncle Xia when the time comes, and the title of Big Brother is also in etiquette, Brother Xia, you don't have to think too much." Xie Yu said with a smile, "I don't think this title should be too much." ”
...... "Xia Yan held his breath, what is not enough to be excessive!" I want to remind Mr. Xie that you still have to pay more attention to your image, after all, you are an artist. ”
Just because I don't speak doesn't mean I'm not angry! I know I'm just too lazy to talk to you about these things!
"Oh, I think my image has always been quite positive, Brother Xia doesn't need to worry too much." Xie Yu responded easily, "It's quite cold outside, Brother Xia, you can send it here, although I just moved over, I know the way back, see you next time." ”
Xie Yu said that he didn't care what Xia Yan thought in his heart, he walked towards the person with a slight bow, and the lonely shadow under the street lamp stretched out quite long, and when he walked for a while, he looked back and saw that the person was still standing at the door, and waved his hand.
Xia Yan gritted his teeth and snorted coldly in his heart, even if he was a year younger than him, what if he was one year younger, wouldn't he be an old man if he was one year younger? Why didn't he see where the image was positive.
