Chapter 32: The Gift of the Natal Year

The Spring Festival is coming soon, although Xu Hewei is very busy, but she still took the time to buy some New Year's goods, even if she is alone, she still has to have a good New Year, after this year she will be 24 years old, according to the rules of the ancestors, the natal year is full of disasters and difficulties, you need to be mentally prepared, and you have to buy red things to ward off evil spirits.

Ji's mother had already called Xu Heyu and invited her to come to Ji's house for the New Year, leaving her alone for the New Year, she couldn't bear it. Xu Heyu simply refused, on the one hand, she didn't want to disturb the family fun of their family, and on the other hand, she didn't want to make herself out of place and make herself look even more miserable.

At the age of twenty-eight, Xu Hewei walked on the lonely cemetery path with an umbrella in one hand and a bouquet of carnations in the other. The snow was heavy and cold on that day, and there was basically no one else in the huge cemetery except for a series of footprints left by oneself. Xu Hewei stopped in front of a tombstone, and the photo on the tablet was a photo of her mother when she was young, which was very similar to Xu Hewei. She hasn't come to visit her mother for a long time, and her mother is always frowning in her impression, since her father divorced and unfortunately laid off, she worries about money every day, and her beautiful appearance has become her trouble, many men speak frivolously, especially when she is still in the chaotic environment of the vegetable market.

Standing silently in front of the tomb, before her mother's death, Xu Heyu had nothing to say to her, her mother was very strict with her studies, and she was very sensible in life, but the relationship between mother and daughter was too dull. On such a snowy day, Xu Heyu, who is dressed in black, is very obvious. I don't know how long it took, there was suddenly another person beside her, Chen Xin put the carnation he brought in front of the tomb, and it was purely by chance that he met Xu Heyu here. He went to another cemetery to visit his grandmother today, and suddenly remembered Xu Hewei's mother, so he rushed here to worship again.

"Thank you for coming to visit my mother!" On the way back, Xu Heyu got into Chen Xin's car, she rarely drove except for work.

"I should also do my part to my aunt." It's about the sake of going to worship today, and the relationship between the two is not very good.

Because of their work, the two have not seen each other since the end of the TV series. Chen Xin asked her about the arrangements for the New Year, and Xu Heyu didn't hide it, anyway, she was used to it. Chen Xin wanted to accompany her for the New Year, but he had to go home to reunite with his mother, and his mother was a strict and strong woman, if he brought a woman home for some reason, it is estimated that the three of them would not have a good time.

"I heard that you have been in contact with male artists recently, and Duan Lei has assigned you tasks again?" It's rare to eat together, Chen Xin cares about her work very much, in this circle, you need to be cautious everywhere, he doesn't want Xu Heyu to have any accidents.

"yes, I'm looking for the most suitable actor for a movie."

"Duan Lei really doesn't train you as an agent, but wants to train you to be a producer?"

"I don't know, but I can do what I can for him. Anyway, I'm an artist now, and if I have more in the future, I guess I won't be able to do it. ”

"Don't be too tired, just take some time for yourself."

"While you're still young, of course you have to work wholeheartedly. Time is empty, but a little overwhelmed. ”

"You, it's only work in life, you should find someone to fall in love with at your age and enjoy the vitality of youth."

Xu Heyu avoided his gaze, picked up the teacup and took a sip, she never thought of falling in love, in her current life, except for male artists, there are few reliable male artists, and gay can often develop into good friends.

"I have a few good candidates here, can you make an appointment to meet when you have time?" When Chen Xin saw her like this, he knew that she didn't want to talk about emotional matters, but as her good friend and brother, he should urge Xu Heyu to live well.

"Forget it, I'll be busier in the future!" Xu Heyu shook her head, she thought that she had nothing to do with feelings in this life.

"You're not so busy that you don't even have time for a meal, are you? It's decided, we'll have a meal together another day, and we can't refuse. "Chen Xin rarely decides her affairs so arbitrarily.

When driving her home, Chen Xin turned a corner and stopped downstairs in his house. "I went to France some time ago and bought you a gift, I didn't expect to meet it so coincidentally today, you wait for me, I'll go up and take it."

Chen Xin quickly came down, holding a small box in his hand and handed it to her, Xu Hewei took it and opened it to see that it was actually a red agate bracelet, the agate was full and clear, and it was very expensive at a glance, more valuable than the four-leaf clover necklace he gave him last time.

"This is too valuable, I can't take it!" Xu Heyu handed him the bracelet again, she didn't dare to accept such a valuable gift.

"I bought it for you, you don't want it, can you let me throw it away?" Chen Xin touched her head, "You will be 24 years old after the New Year, I remember that when you were 12 years old, your mother bought you a red jade pendant in order to let you spend it peacefully." This year, I will buy you a gift, whether it is evil or not, it is also a tradition and heart. ”

Xu Heyu remembered the red jade pendant, which was the most expensive gift her mother bought for herself, and followed her for many years, and later she sent the jade pendant to her sister Xu Heyuan as a relic of her mother. It's just that she didn't expect that Chen Xin had been abroad for so many years, and she still remembered the jade pendant and the tradition of her natal year.

"I bought you a birthday present last time, and I haven't seen you wear it. You're a girl, just dress up nicely. Chen Xin put the bracelet on her, her skin is very white, so it is very suitable to wear red jewelry, "Look, it suits you very well!" Don't take it off, or I'll be upset. ”

"I'm not fit to wear these expensive jewelry, in case I lose my ......"

"If you lose it, you lose it, and if you don't wear jewelry, it's waste!"

"That'...... All right! ”

Xu Heyu returned home, looking at the bracelet and the four-leaf clover necklace in her hand, Chen Xin really hurt herself, even more than her own sister, if she treated him as a brother, she should be happier.

Although Xu Hefei refused Ji's mother's invitation, on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Ji Queyi was sent by her mother to invite her to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together. Xu Heyu didn't want to go over, although Ji's mother always said that she should be like her own family, but Xu Heyu couldn't pass the inner barrier by herself, she was probably used to living alone. So Xu Heyu didn't go over, but let Ji Qianyi take back some of the cured meat sausages she made before, when she was a child, every time she celebrated the New Year, she would follow her mother to make some pickled products, so she still retains this habit, and said on a certain Cheng dΓΉ that she is a girl who respects tradition very much.

Ji Qianyi inexplicably returned home with those New Year's goods, although Ji's mother was dissatisfied that her son did not bring people back, but she was still very happy to see these things, last year she received these things made by Xu Hewei, the taste is very good, I didn't expect that she still has time to do these this year, such a traditional and beautiful girl, very much loved by Ji's mother.

Fortunately, on this day, Xu Heyuan didn't forget that she had a younger sister, so she specially called over. Her studio is on the right track, very busy, and her big personality makes her often ignore her sister. It's just that this time on the phone, Xu Heyu obviously felt the excitement in Xu Heyuan's words, and she was about to fall in love.

"Are you saying you'll be back this year?" Xu Heyu was very surprised, the last time Xu Heyuan returned to China was when she was in college.

"Yes, it should be the middle of the year, there is a cooperation with the domestic side, and then our sisters can meet!" Xu Heyuan's face was full of excitement, she was also looking forward to returning to China to meet her sister this time, "You are 24 years old this year, I sent you something, you remember to receive it!" ”

"What gift?" Xu Heyu asked curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes. Do you have a boyfriend? You're not too young, just talk about one when you meet the right one! Xu Heyuan asked gossipingly.

"I don't want to do that yet, you should have a boyfriend in this situation! Look at how sweet you smile! Xu Hewei rebelled against the army and returned the problem to her.

"Oh, really! I can't hide it from you. Xu Heyuan didn't take Qiao either, and smiled very sweetly, "We haven't talked for long, he is in China, so he doesn't often meet." When I return to China, I will formally introduce you to each other. ”

"Okay, your boyfriend is definitely not much worse than a male model. Congratulations, career and love are proud. ”

"Ah yes, I almost forgot, your year's dividends have been paid to your account, and my dad also asked me to transfer money to you, you don't have to work so hard as an agent, find an easier one, and I will support you in the future!"

"His money? I accept the dividends you give as a matter of course, and I will transfer back the money he gave, my income is not low now, so let him save more money for retirement! Xu Hewei didn't like her father's actions more and more, he was so difficult back then, he didn't help him, and now he can make money and is very independent, but he remembers that he still has a daughter in China, is it too late?

"You!" Xu Heyuan couldn't help frowning, this is indeed a big problem for the father and daughter, "Dad didn't care about you back then, but there was something wrong with the family's finances at that time, and the stepmother stopped her." Now that the conditions at home have improved a lot, Dad has been trying to make up for it, so give him a chance! ”

"I don't like to turn over old accounts, I just think there's no point in him doing this now, he's just my biological father, it's been so many years, I'm used to this kind of life, he also has his own family, isn't it better if the two are not related?" Every time I video with my sister, I will mention this matter, and Xu Heyu is already a little bored.

"You, okay, okay, let's not talk about this topic." Xu Heyuan saw that her sister's face changed, so she took the initiative to change the topic, "I watched your little artist's movie, it's so tender!" ”

"Pay attention to the image, saliva is about to flow out!" Xu Hewei was very grateful that her sister didn't continue the topic, "Anyway, your clothing brand has also come out, do you want to consider finding a spokesperson?" My little artist is very good! ”

"My good sister, are you trying too hard? Your sister and my clothing brand have just become famous, and you are eyeing the position of spokesperson! Xu Heyuan quipped.

"Of course, it's too stupid for my family to not know how to use such a good resource. If your brand wants to enter China, you must find a local celebrity to endorse it. You can rest assured that you will definitely be given a very good price. Xu Hewei's beautiful eyes shone with a shrewd luster, it was like killing two birds with one stone!

β€œokok! When I return home, I'll meet him too. Xu Heyuan succumbed, she originally intended to ask Ji Qianyi to be the spokesperson of men's clothing to help her sister's work.
