Chapter 179: Preparations for Greeting

When he heard Zhang Chengyuan say that he already had two billion savings, Zhang Donghu couldn't help but be surprised by Zhang Chengyuan's ability to make money, and thought: "This world is so unfair, some people can only earn this money after working hard for a lifetime, while some people only need one or two years to make it, or even shorter." Of course, he has nothing to be dissatisfied with, after all, it is his son who has earned so much money, and he has earned it through legitimate means.

At this time, he was a little glad that he didn't force his son to stay away from the entertainment industry, otherwise, when his son Zhang Chengyuan graduated from university, he would just be a small clerk who earns 20 or 30 million a year, even if he graduated from Seoul National University, then it will be the end of earning 100 million or 200 million, how can he be so rich now?

Zhang Donghu thought for a while and said, "Cheng Yuan, although you are popular now and can make so much money, who can predict what will happen in the future?" So I won't use your money, you might as well save it for future use. Besides, with my education and talent, I can't be a boss, so it's more comfortable to work for someone else. Also, you don't have to worry about my work, I'll do it myself, you better get busy with your career, well, by the way, strive to be a good actor with both virtue and art! ”

He has been a clerk all his life, and when he is old, he has no ambition and energy to start a new career, and spending his son's money makes him feel a little psychologically burdened.

Zhang Chengyuan knew that Zhang Donghu was also very stubborn, and after making up his mind, he would not listen to his advice, so he said: "Okay, father, you have the final say in this matter, when you change your mind, tell me again!" ”

Zhang Donghu nodded and said, "Well, let's not mention this matter, now let's talk about my daughter-in-law Youli!" In his opinion, his son's marriage and the succession of the Zhang family are much more important than other things.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Well, I'll listen, you can say it." It is reasonable that Zhang Donghu would ask about Cheng Youli, so Zhang Chengyuan was not surprised.

Zhang Donghu said: "Take her home tomorrow, I haven't seen her for a year, and I want to have a good chat with her." ”

Although he met Cheng Youli once during the Spring Festival last year, Zhang Donghu was extremely satisfied with her and regarded her as a member of the Zhang family, so the Spring Festival, a festival for family reunions, must meet her.

Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "I know what I said, I'll call her now and ask her to arrange a time." "Cheng Youli has not received any announcements for more than half a year, except for practicing acting, yoga, archery and gathering with friends such as Song Hye Kyo, there is nothing else to do, he is very idle, and he will definitely have time to meet Zhang Donghu, the future father-in-law.

As soon as Cheng Youli's phone was connected, Zhang Chengyuan heard Cheng Youli say happily: "Chengyuan, is there something wrong?" ”

In front of Zhang Donghu, Zhang Chengyuan was embarrassed to say meaty words, so he had to say in a proper manner: "Sister Youli, do you have time tomorrow?" My father invited you to my house ......"

Zhang Donghu interjected: "Dinner!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Chengyuan immediately said to Cheng Youli: "Well, I invite you to dinner." ”

When Cheng Youli heard that it was Zhang Donghu who wanted to see her, he immediately panicked a little and said, "Is it my father-in-law?" Was it my father-in-law's voice just now? Well, I know it, I'll definitely go. In her heart, she already regarded Zhang Donghu as her future father-in-law, and in a panic, she called "father-in-law".

Zhang Chengyuan continued: "Then I will pick you up tomorrow, Sister Youli, you are ready." ”

Cheng Youli responded: "Zhilu Dao, you told your father-in-law that I greeted him for the New Year, and I wish him a happy Spring Festival!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I will, Sister Youli, see you tomorrow!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chengyuan immediately relayed Cheng Youli's words to Zhang Donghu, Zhang Donghu smiled: "This kid is really beautiful and well-behaved, very rare, Chengyuan, you have to treat her well!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said yes, without Zhang Donghu's instructions, he will also cherish Cheng Youli twice, although he has some flowers, but he is absolutely sincere to each of his women, and he thinks about them almost all the time, and Cheng Youli is still his future wife, he is more concerned.

After that, Zhang Donghu and Zhang Chengyuan, father and son, began to prepare for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Zhang Donghu was in charge, Zhang Chengyuan was in charge of the knife, although they did not communicate much, but they still cooperated quite tacitly.

Zhang Donghu's cooking skills are okay, how to say that he has lived alone for nearly 20 years, and he is quite proficient in almost all housework, and although Zhang Chengyuan has not studied cooking skills, he is very good at knife work, and the dishes are cut very evenly, and they can be cooked a little better. With the efforts of the two of them, the dishes with all the aromas and colors came out of the pot smoothly, but the taste was not as delicious as it looked.

While watching a TV show, I was eating. Zhang Donghu suddenly said: "This dish doesn't seem to taste good, right?" Tomorrow Youli is here, it seems too rude to let her eat this kind of dish? In fact, it's not bad, at least it's not worse than what ordinary housewives do, but Zhang Donghu feels that if he uses this to entertain Cheng Youli, it will be very insufficient.

Zhang Chengyuan said disapprerovingly: "It's okay, Sister Youli, she doesn't pick her mouth!" ”

Zhang Donghu said: "This has nothing to do with whether Youli is picky or not, but we must show enough sincerity, she came to our house for dinner for the first time, how can we be lazy?" Alas! It's a pity that your mother is gone, otherwise there would be no such trouble, she used to specialize in cooking. Speaking of Zhang Chengyuan's mother, Zhang Donghu sighed.

Zhang Chengyuan had almost no impression of this mother, and he didn't think to know about it, but when he saw Zhang Donghu sad, he was silent, lowering his head as if he was missing something.

After a while, Zhang Donghu's spirits perked up again, and he continued: "In order to let Youli feel our heart, I decided to study the recipe carefully tonight and try to make it a few times. ”

Zhang Chengyuan persuaded: "There's no need for this, your old man should rest early!" ”

Zhang Donghu said: "No! You must study well, otherwise it will be bad if you lose face tomorrow, and you also have to help, your knife work is good, and it can save me a lot of time. ”

Zhang Donghu, who has almost never asked Zhang Chengyuan to do anything in the past six or seven years, now ordered Zhang Chengyuan to help for a meal for his future daughter-in-law, which made Zhang Chengyuan a little crying and laughing, but Zhang Donghu's attention to Cheng Youli also made him happy in his heart.

After a quick meal, the father and son began to work hard, first looking up information on the Internet, selecting the dishes that Cheng Youli likes to eat, downloading and printing out the recipes, and driving to the supermarket in Itaewon to buy ingredients according to the ingredients and seasonings required on the recipe, because almost all shops and supermarkets are closed during the Spring Festival, and only places like Itaewon where foreigners gather can still buy fresh ingredients.

After buying hundreds of pounds of ingredients, when they returned home, the two washed and cut vegetables, and practiced step by step according to the recipe...... Tossed until four or five o'clock in the morning, Zhang Donghu was satisfied to squint for a while, because they still had to worship their ancestors. But Zhang Chengyuan was strictly ordered by him to clean up the mess.

Looking at the mess all over the ground, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but sigh that his son was not as good as his daughter-in-law, thinking that after getting married, he was afraid that his status in the family would be the lowest.

At about six o'clock, Zhang Donghu woke up, bathed and changed clothes, put on a traditional hanbok, woke up Zhang Chengyuan, who was sitting on the sofa and closed his eyes after finishing his work, came to the hall, set up the offering table and put all kinds of food prepared by the way last night as offerings, and began to kneel down to worship the remains of Zhang Donghu's dead parents, that is, Zhang Chengyuan's nominal grandfather and grandmother, of course, the remains of Zhang Chengyuan's mother cannot be left behind.

Zhang Donghu was orphaned when he was six or seven years old and sent to an orphanage, surrounded only by a few black-and-white photos of his parents and a diary written for him by his father, which has been preserved to this day. If he didn't have these things, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to figure out his family's situation, and he wouldn't be able to hold this annual ancestor worship ceremony.

Zhang Chengyuan, who thinks he is a descendant of Yan and Huang, is not interested in this ancestor worship, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Donghu is his father, and knowing that the Zhang family has the blood of the Chinese people, how would he worship this Korean ghost?

After worshipping their ancestors, father and son began to eat breakfast. Then, Zhang Chengyuan said goodbye to Zhang Donghu, saying that he was going out to visit some friends, Zhang Donghu nodded in agreement, but emphasized again that he must bring his daughter-in-law Cheng Youli home before dinner.

After leaving the house, Zhang Chengyuan drove to Zheng's house first, greeted Zheng's father and Zheng's mother, and gave some gifts that had been prepared for a long time, and also gave Zheng Xiuyan and Xiao Jing New Year's money. Zheng Xiuyan is one million, and Xiao Jing is only 100,000, not because of favoritism, but because she feels that Zheng Xiuyan is very hard to be a trainee and needs a little more pocket money, and Xiao Jing is young and stays at home almost every day, so she naturally doesn't need too much pocket money, Zhang Chengyuan doesn't want to pamper Xiao Jing into a girl who is extravagant and open-minded.

But Xiao Jing was very dissatisfied, feeling that Zhang Chengyuan was eccentric, and immediately pounced on Zhang Chengyuan with a look of grievance, and made a fuss, until Zhang Chengyuan agreed to wait for her to become a trainee and give her a million in the same way, then he gave up with a smile. In fact, she doesn't really have to ask for money, but she doesn't want to see that Zhang Chengyuan loves her less than she loves her sister.

After sitting at Zheng's house for a while, Jang Sung-won visited Lee Hyo-ri's house, Sister Ok Joo-hyun, Lee Zhen's house, and Yoon Eun-hye's house in turn...... At this time, most of the Korean people knew that he had a close relationship with Fin.k.l, Ha Ji Won, Kim Tae-hee, Yoon Eun-hye and others, so he was not afraid to visit the sisters' homes. If it weren't for Kim Tae-hee still filming in China, he might have visited Kim Tae-hee's house.

And why did he go to Cheng Youli's house after the most embarrassing thing, it was naturally because Cheng Youli was the main purpose of his going out today, and he wanted to take her home to see his father Zhang Donghu.
