Xingyue Media originally bought the TV series and movie rights of "Peach's First Love". Because this comic has accumulated a large number of readers in the past few years, the single book has been reprinted many times, and it is a well-known masterpiece in the comic circle. Manyu itself is one of the top comic platforms in China, and Lu Zhu negotiated an eight-figure copyright fee.

Lu Zhu used this money and his previous savings to open a small studio and continued to rise and fall in the advertising industry.

She is partnered with a sister who graduated from the Communication University of China, Lu Zhu has business dealings with her when she works in the advertising agency, and she can be regarded as friends who can talk to each other.

This sister's surname is He, her name is very good, her name is He Jiayun, she is four years older than Lu Zhu, and she has just turned 30 this year. When Lu Zhu contacted her, she had just completed the divorce procedures and the child was awarded to her.

She was in the same company as her ex-husband, but she quit her job after the divorce and wanted to go it alone, and she hit it off with Lu Zhu.

From site selection to decoration, registration, and recruitment, it took more than three months.

Jianghuaining's game company is so famous that a small studio can no longer accommodate more and more staff and equipment, and it is urgent to expand.

A few days ago, he signed the contract and decided to relocate, and he has been very busy recently, so he also took part of his energy to help Lu Zhu.

Lu Zhu refused: "Sister He and I can be busy, and your affairs are also very important."

"Are you sure you don't need my help?" Jiang Huaining narrowed his eyes, his eyes were dangerous, "Huh?"

Lu Zhu chuckled, and slapped his palm on his face unceremoniously: "I have never seen anyone begging others to ask him for help in a threatening tone."

Jiang Huaining was quite proud: "Then you saw it today."

Lu Zhu laughed and said, "If you want to help......" She paused, rubbed her thumb and forefinger twice, and gave him a clear gesture, "Give me some financial assistance."

She was joking, the studio is just starting out, and the money in her hand is completely enough, not to mention that Sister He has contributed a part.

Jiang Huaining grabbed her hand and scooped the person into her lap and hugged her.

Now is the time for couples to talk at night, they have been busy all day during the day, and the most relaxing moment is to go home at night, and the two of them have dinner together, wash up and sit together to chat. The drama played on the TV can only be used as background sound, and neither of them took the drama seriously.

"You did it on purpose?" Jiang Huaining is now learning and selling, and patted Lu Zhu's white and tender cheek with his hand, "My salary card has always been with you, haven't you seen how much money you have?"

When they were in love, he had a bank card with her, and he didn't seem to tell her, and since then, whenever there is a large amount of personal income, he fills in the card number of that card.

So in the early days of the business, I really didn't have much money in my hand, so I borrowed a sum of money from my father, and then I took the big ship of MY, and completed the first and second rounds of financing. The business value of the Huaizhu world has skyrocketed, and capital is no longer a problem hindering development.

Lu Zhu didn't check the balance, and asked innocently, "Is there a lot of money?"

"Silly wife, go back and see for yourself." Jiang Huaining himself doesn't know how much, according to his estimates, it should be enough for the so-called "financial assistance" in her mouth.

On the way to the studio the next day, Lu Zhu passed by an industrial and commercial bank, went in and checked the balance of the bank card with the help of the ATM, and was almost not frightened by the amount.

Before she could get out of the ATM cubicle, she couldn't wait to call Jiang Huaining.

"Why didn't you tell me about all this amount of money earlier?" Lu Zhu's brain quickly calculated, "If you save it early, you can buy many bags a year with interest alone."

Jiang Huaining was about to have a meeting next, standing in the corridor outside the conference room, holding his forehead with one hand: "I remember that you are not interested in bags."

He gave her many gifts, including branded bags, which she carried out very rarely, most of the time carrying a large-capacity canvas bag that could hold a computer and an iPad, and she could pull out a capacitive pen to draw at any time.

"I can buy something else!" Lu Zhu raised his voice, whether this person would grasp the key points.

Jiang Huaining smiled: "It's not too late to know now, whatever you want."

Lu Zhu hung up the phone, didn't say hello, and hung up directly

。

Two messages followed.

"I'll have a big dinner in the evening."

"Swipe your card."

Jiang Huaining held the phone with one hand, poked his thumb on the screen, and replied with the word "good".

The passing staff glanced at the young boss, pushed open the door of the conference room and went in first, and bent down to communicate with his colleagues: "Mr. Jiang's voice on the phone with his wife is so gentle, and he is still laughing after the phone call."

Another staff member said: "Who doesn't know that our Mr. Jiang and his wife are high school classmates, and I heard that they are still at the same table, from school uniforms to wedding dresses, from self-made to now worth more than 100 million, can the relationship not be deep?"

Jiang Huaining pushed the door in, interrupting the gossip that the group was about to unfold.

——

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve was at the end of January, Jiang Huaining and Lu Zhu arranged their respective jobs and went home together for the New Year.

Before arriving home, Lu Zhu received a call from his lawyer, and after half a year, the first-instance verdict finally came down. Zhao Dengke was sentenced to five years in prison. The defendant was dissatisfied with the judgment of the court of first instance and decided to appeal. But the lawyer told her that even if the other party appealed, it was very likely that the original verdict would be upheld, and told her not to worry about it and to relax for the New Year.

The bad guys were duly punished before the New Year, Lu Zhu felt that this was good news and worth celebrating, and he couldn't wait to open a bottle of wine and toast with Jiang Huaining on the spot.

The young couple bought a house in Jinyang City, which is still under renovation, and after returning, they will live in the Lu family for two days and the Jiang family for two days. The two families are close to each other, and it doesn't make a difference which one they live in, and they can have a meal at any time.

The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Zhu drove back to the countryside to take his grandparents over to live together, and the family was happy.

Since Lu Yan went to high school, his grades have been ridiculously poor, and he has to say a few words about his attitude towards learning at the dinner table. Lu Yan had to ask his sister for help, and his mother glared at him: "Look at what your sister is doing? Your sister didn't give *** a little heart when she went to school before."

Lu Yan buried his face in the bowl, and said angrily: "That's because she has a top student at the same table to give her as foreign aid, a free tutor, one-on-one tutoring, and she is very gentle and meticulous to her, and she can't teach anywhere. If I don't leave me, I can get into a good university."

Xia Zhu laughed angrily, and he didn't want to block himself during the New Year, so he stopped there.

Jiang Huaining sandwiched a piece of pork ribs to Lu Zhu and said casually, "Why don't I introduce you to a few tutors?" I have a classmate in my university who runs an educational institution at home, and the national chain should have one in Jinyang City."

Lu Yan lifted a bitter gourd face from the bowl and begged, "Please, let the child have a happy New Year, let's not talk about learning, okay?"

A few laughs erupted at the dinner table.

In a blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the two families got together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Everyone went into battle together, made more than two dozen dishes, and laid them out three times on the table, almost running out of place.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala began, and the two families became a family, watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner happily, chatting a few words about life from time to time, and then chatting about the Spring Festival Gala program, the atmosphere was lively and lively.

Jiang Xuewen mentioned that Lingqu Temple made a wish more spiritually, and the businessman believed this and wanted to go to the pillar incense tomorrow.

As soon as everyone summed it up, they said that it was better to go together. High school students ask for the title of the gold list, men want a smooth career, and the two mothers don't want to be rich and rich, just want their children to be safe and healthy when they go out.

Lu Yan said weakly, I am only a sophomore in high school, and it seems that I am a little early to ask for the title of the gold list......

People can't stay up late when they are old, and before it reaches zero o'clock, several elders can't hold it anymore, so they go back to sleep, and there are only three left in the living room: Jiang Huaining, Lu Zhu, and Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was not interested in the Spring Festival Gala, seeing that the couple was greasy and crooked together, he went back to the room with the fruit plate to play games.

Now there are only two left in the living room, Jiang Huaining and Lu Zhu.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Jiang Huaining put her arm around her waist, she leaned on his chest, moved her body, found a comfortable position, held a soft pillow in her arms, and tilted her head to watch the Spring Festival Gala. She was wearing a festive red seahorse sweater, like a lazy cat.

Time is ticking by and there are only a few minutes left in 2021.

The host starts a loud countdown

, the bell rang, and the drowsy Lu Zhu immediately woke up, and turned his head to Jiang Huaining with a very sense of ritual and said, "Husband, Happy New Year."

Jiang Huaining touched the tip of her nose, and her voice was restrictive: "Happy New Year, wife."

That year in Beicheng for Chinese New Year's Eve, the quarter of the bell rang when they arrived home, and they said happy New Year to each other, thinking that they had been together for another year, and there were many, many years ahead.

It's the same idea now.

——

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sky is gloomy, the cold wind gusts, cold like ice blades, and the stabbing on the face hurts, which is not a good weather suitable for travel.

The two families got up early in the morning, and except for the grandparents who were physically weak, the rest set off.

Jiang Huaining drove a seven-seater SUV, and the warm air was turned on in the car, but he didn't feel how cold it was, but as soon as he got out of the car, he realized the bad weather.

The way up the mountain is especially difficult, with one step at a time.

However, no matter the sunny day, rain or snow, there is always an endless stream of people who come to Lingqu Temple to offer incense on the first day of the new year. Some people stayed in a hotel at the foot of the mountain the night before, just to make incense on their heads and ask for the blessing of the Buddha and Bodhisattva.

Lu Zhu wore a white down jacket with a red scarf around his neck, one hand in his pocket, and the other hand was held by Jiang Huaining and stuffed into his down jacket pocket.

She wears a red beanie, which is matched with a scarf, reminiscent of Little Red Riding Hood in a fairy tale.

When he spoke, he let out a white breath: "I'm so tired, I'm so sleepy."

Jiang Huaining looked at her and said, "Am I carrying you?"

Lu Zhu was about to say no, but his parents, who were walking in front of the two of them, turned around at the same time. Xia Zhu glanced at Lu Zhu twice: "You had a vigil last night?"

"yes, I'll go to sleep when the countdown is over." Lu Zhu snorted and panted, his physical strength was too poor.

Xia Zhu frowned: "I know that I have to come to climb the mountain today and sleep so late, or you go to the car to rest, we can go up." Whatever you want to ask for, I'll tell the Bodhisattva."

"Don't. It's all at the feet of the Bodhisattva, and you won't be happy if you don't go in and worship the Bodhisattva." Lu Zhu said it right.

Xia Zhu laughed and told her not to talk nonsense in the first month.

A group of people walked and stopped, and it took almost two hours to see the temple gates.

Lu Zhu was so tired that he couldn't do it, his two legs didn't seem to be his own, and when he looked up, he saw that it was really full of incense. In the hall of the Mahavira Treasure enshrines the solemn Buddha Shakyamuni, and there are many people queuing up in front of the door to enter the incense, or asking for the title of the gold list, or seeking to have a successful career...... They all looked religious.

There are also people lining up in other Buddhist halls to offer incense.

Lu Zhu's face was a little different, and he squeezed Jiang Huaining's hand, and the next second he sensed it, he leaned over and lowered his head, and heard her ask in a very small voice, "I want to go to the bathroom, I don't know where to go."

After drinking a cup of soy milk in the morning, she felt uncomfortable with motion sickness on the road, and she finished drinking the tangerine peel tea in the thermos cup......

"I'll ask first."

Jiang Huaining let go of her hand and went to his mother to ask. Sun Jingfang was also here for the first time, and she didn't know the direction, so she turned her head to look at Xia Zhu on the side.

Xia Zhu glanced at Lu Zhu, who was looking at the sky with his hands in his pockets, a little helpless, pointed to the fork in the road next to him and said to Jiang Huaining, "Go around that bamboo forest, there is a courtyard behind you, and there is a bathroom in it."

"There are a lot of people, I'll accompany her over, you go buy incense first, don't wait for us."

Jiang Huaining arranged it and took Lu Zhu to find the bathroom.

Lu Zhu saw the long queue outside the women's bathroom in the courtyard, and his eyes suddenly turned black, when will this be queued?

She showed a wry smile to Jiang Huaining, who was waiting for her a few steps away.

After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, she finally arrived at Lu Zhu, she came out of the toilet and exhaled, "Let's go."

The two of them didn't find their family members in the crowded crowd in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and they went around the Maitreya Hall and the Medicine Buddha Hall in the back, but they didn't see it.

"Maybe we've been delayed for a long time, and they've gone to the rest of the temple after making incense." Jiang Huaining took out his mobile phone and called his father, "I'll ask where they are."

The bell rang for a long time, probably

There were a lot of people around, and the sound was too noisy, and his father didn't hear the phone ring.

Lu Zhu then took her mobile phone to call her mother, but no one answered.

The two looked at each other helplessly, deciding to hang out on their own, maybe they could meet them.

I don't know which temple I walked to, Lu Zhu casually glimpsed the stall selling incense, and bought a few incense sticks in the past, which are much larger than the specifications of ordinary incense threads.

"It's all here, since we can't find my parents and them, let's go in and say goodbye." Lu Zhu gave him a few sticks of incense, pouted and complained, "It's so expensive, this incense costs two hundred yuan for such a little, and the Bodhisattva can bless me with everything."

Jiang Huaining smiled: "Sincerity is spiritual."

The two lit the incense in their hands and followed the others to enter the incense, but they didn't pay attention before, but now they suddenly found that 90% of the people entering and leaving this treasure hall were women.

They have no experience, they have the same example, holding incense above their heads and bowing and worshipping, chanting words in their mouths, probably telling the Bodhisattva their wishes, and then putting the incense into the incense burner, and bowing with their hands together before leaving.

Coming out of the crowd, Lu Zhu took Jiang Huaining's hand and shook it: "Did you find ......?"

Before she could say what she had discovered, Jiang Huaining nodded thoughtfully: "Found it."

Lu Zhu: "......"

The two didn't have time to communicate further, and as soon as they raised their eyes, they were facing the smiling faces of several parents, who came from nowhere, and how long they had been watching.

Lu Zhu was confused, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"

"The goddess of mercy here is very spiritual." Xia Zhu couldn't help but smile and said, "There are a lot of married women who come to worship on the first day of the new year every year, and there are also female elders who come to pray for their daughters and daughters-in-law. You two are ......," she said with a slight hesitation, "Planning to have a baby?"

Sun Jingfang thought for a while, thinking that it was because these two children didn't understand which Bodhisattva to worship, and said, "Zhu Zhu's studio is almost ready, and it will start after the year, so there should be no time, right?" She wasn't really sure about the young couple's plans.

Lu Zhu looked embarrassed with a reluctant smile: "We...... Go with the flow, let it be."

His hand went around to a place they couldn't see, and pinched Jiang Huaining's back to vent his anger, how did you lead the way!

Jiang Huaining is very innocent, there are more than a dozen Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the temple, where does he know that each one is responsible for different wishes.

A few people talked and laughed and left this treasure hall, Lu Zhu looked back at the kind and kind son Guanyin in the hall, some of them couldn't cry or laugh, and silently thought in their hearts that the Bodhisattva should not be blamed.

——

The road down the mountain was even more difficult, the sky was full of snowflakes, and the wind was blowing harder than when it came, making the green bamboos on both sides of the stone steps rattle.

Jiang Huaining and Lu Zhu walked in front, and Lu Zhu shouted that his legs were sore.

Jiang Huaining walked quickly to the next step and half-bowed in front of her: "Come up."

The parents are watching from behind, usually only the two of them are in private, she lets him carry it, and she is not allowed to be lectured in front of the parents.

In just a few seconds, Lu Zhu thought about a lot, reached out and patted Jiang Huaining's back: "No need, let's go."

"Hurry up, get in the way of others." Jiang Huaining glanced back at her, "Don't be embarrassed, old husband and wife."

Lu Zhu said that he would not say anything.

Jiang Huaining didn't say anything more, simply and neatly held her knee and pulled her whole person to her back. Lu Zhu was frightened to death by his sudden move, and was afraid of being planted, so he had to hug his neck tightly and said eagerly: "I said I don't have to carry it, do you want to make me scolded? My mom should say I'm bullying you in a moment!"

"Ahem, loosen your hand." Jiang Huaining's neck was strangled by her, "It's me who wants to carry you, it's not you who take the initiative, if you want to scold, scold me."

The parents in the back saw that there was no blame scene that Lu Zhu expected. They don't have so much leisure to care about the love between young couples.

Not only did he not blame, but he learned from the juniors. Lu Guoming's elbow touched Xia Zhu next to him: "Wife, I'm holding you, it's snowing and the road is slippery."

Jiang Xuewen immediately followed, grabbed Sun Jingfang's hand, and didn't ask her opinion, but put it on his own

The arm is crooked: "My wife is holding it firm."

Lu Yan put his hands into the pockets of his jacket and shrunk his neck. Before he went out, he didn't expect it to be so cold on the mountain, and he didn't wear warm clothes in order to be handsome, and he shivered from the cold. When I turned my eyes, I found myself alone, like a fool.

——

Lu Zhu will never forget this scene. Her youth was baptized by the years, faded into a man like a towering tree, with a broad back and steady steps, in the snow, carrying her through the mountain steps in front of the Buddha hall.

The snow melted because of him.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Lu Zhu got down from Jiang Huaining's back, his legs were a little numb, and he limped to Jiang Huaining, and looked up at him: "Aren't you tired? I've asked you to let me go several times, but you won't."

The red beanie hat on her head fell with a layer of snow, and the tip of her nose and eyes were red by the wind, making her jade snow lovely. In the future, if their daughters look like her, I wonder how adorable they will be.

"I'm not tired." Jiang Huaining bent his lips and smiled.

"Liar." Lu Zhu's warm fingertips rubbed lightly on his forehead, "I'm sweating."

Jiang Huaining pulled down her hand and held it in the palm of her hand.

At the foot of the hill it was as lively as entering a market, and the open space was full of stalls selling everything.

Freshly picked strawberries are packed in a small red plastic basket with a cardboard basket next to it that says 30 yuan a basket. There is a mother-in-law who sells flowers, with plums, snow willows, and camellias in front of her, and from time to time she brushes the snow off the petals with her hands. There are also vendors who sell hand-knitted toys, shaking their hands and weaving while hawking their ......

At the feet of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, all beings are equal.

Jiang Huaining's gaze stopped for a few seconds, and he walked over and bought a basket of bright red strawberries, a budding red plum, and a hand-woven tiger. This year is the Year of the Tiger.

He gave the things he bought to Lu Zhu and flattered, "Wife, take care of me in the new year."

"You should take care of me." Lu Zhu pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were bright and bright.

Lu Zhu couldn't hold so many things, only held the red plum, leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, there was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, mixed with the smell of snow water.

They held hands and left a long trail of footprints in the snow. No one noticed that the bud on the branch bloomed in the snow and ice.
