181. Twenty years old
In the living room, the TV set that had worked all night was silently showing the program, but unfortunately no one was watching it at this time.
Outside the window, the birdsong was crisp, and the skylight seeped in through the cracks in the curtains, brightening the room a little.
There was a slight noise in the direction of the kitchen, causing Gu Heng to open his eyes from a half-asleep dream.
Not far away, Lee Ji-eun, Choi Truth-rien and Lee Jong-hoon staggered.
said that it was a year old, but the three of them were only in good spirits until the second half of the night.
Half leaning on the sofa and sitting for a while, Gu Heng barely bothered to cheer up.
Getting up from the ground, he first took a few thin blankets and covered them with Li Zhien and a few little guys.
Although there is floor heating in the home, it is still easy to catch a cold when sleeping like this.
Touching Li Zhien's hair, Gu Heng walked towards the kitchen.
The highlight of the Korean New Year is in the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when you need to prepare a variety of food for the sacrifice in advance and start the worship at a fixed time.
Although most families are not as cumbersome as they used to be, it still takes a lot of time to prepare.
Li Zhongxin and his wife should be busy with this at this time.
As soon as Gu Heng walked to the kitchen door, he smelled the faint aroma of rice cake soup.
Li Zhongxin turned his head and saw Gu Heng, and grinned, "Xiao Heng is awake."
"Well, why didn't my uncle and aunt ask me to get up and help?"
"You are usually tired from work, and last night you kept a New Year's vigil, what did you wake up for?" Lee Jong-shin patted him on the shoulder and joked, "What if you doze off while helping out and end up falling headlong into the rice cake soup?"
Gu Heng smiled.
After chatting casually with Lee Jong-shin, he came to Ha Jingshu's side and helped to stew the cut beef in the rice cake soup.
Rice cake soup is a traditional food that South Koreans must eat on the first morning of the new year, and it is called "New Year's Cake".
With Gu Heng's help, Li Zhongxin and his wife prepared a little faster.
After about half an hour, all the food for the sacrifice was completed.
Ha Jingshu went to tell Lee Ji-eun and Lee Jong-hoon to get up, while Gu Heng helped Lee Jong-shin put the food on the wooden table of the sacrifice.
Everything is ready.
Lee Ji-eun and Lee Jong-hoon, who changed into hanbok, have not completely woken up at this time, but they are just following Lee Jong-shin and his wife to worship in a daze.
When the etiquette was completed, Gu Heng served two bowls of rice cake soup.
"Give, Truth." He gave a bowl to Cui Zhenzhen.
"Thank you oppa." Cui Zhenzhen took it and thanked him.
Gu Heng sat down beside her and was about to chat, when a mobile phone rang in his pocket.
"Suzy?"
Glancing at the name of the caller ID, Gu Heng put the bowl aside and pressed the connect button.
As soon as he put the phone to his ear, Pei Xiuzhi's cheerful voice had already come.
"Gu Heng oppa, Happy Spring Festival!"
"Happy Chinese New Year, Xiuzhi," Gu Heng replied with a smile, "Have you returned to Gwangju to spend the Spring Festival with your uncle and aunt?"
"No, I'm in Seoul, my Abba and Oh Mom are here."
"That's right."
"Are OPPA and Ji-eun at home right now?"
"Huh? Yes, the truth is there, do you want to say hello?"
Gu Heng handed the phone to Cui Zhenzhen, "It's Xiuzhi."
Cui Zhenzhen was slightly stunned, subconsciously took the phone, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
Pei Xiuzhi's New Year's call was not to Li Zhien, but to Gu Heng first
&a, when did the relationship with Suzy become so close?
But this is not the time to delve into these, she hugged her mobile phone and Pei Xiuzhi whispered greetings to each other.
"Huh? Are your uncles and aunts coming over for New Year's greetings?" Cui Zhenzhen's voice suddenly raised, and he looked at Gu Heng at the same time.
Gu Heng was also surprised.
However, during the Spring Festival, they visited relatives and friends
It's not a very unusual thing, familiar neighbors will also bring New Year's wine to the door to drink, and the Li family's sacrifice has ended at this time.
After taking the phone from Choi Truth-ried, he confessed to Bae so-ji, then got up and went to the kitchen to tell Lee Jong-shin and his wife about it.
"Suzy is coming to pay New Year's greetings?" Li Zhien, who was dozing off while helping Ha Jingshu clean up the kitchen utensils, winked and raised his head suddenly.
"Well, I guess I came to thank my uncle and aunt for hosting her for New Year's Day last time, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Li Zhien pursed his lips.
Staring at her oppa's back, she sighed sadly.
"What do you sigh on such an auspicious day? Be careful to lose all your good luck in the New Year." Ha Jingshu poked her forehead.
"Got it."
Half an hour later, in the corner of the living room of the Li family.
Glancing at Abba and Oh Mom, who were greeting Li Zhongxin and his wife, Pei Xiuzhi turned his head and looked at Gu Heng next to him with crooked eyes.
Gu Heng was leaning against the wall, watching Li Zhien and Cui Zhencheng play a game
- The game handheld he gave to Lee Jong-hoon fell into the hands of Lee Ji-eun without accident.
"I heard that OPPA has paid back Zhi'en for the New Year's this year?" Bae Suzhi asked.
"Yes," Gu Heng turned his face and smiled when he heard her question, "How do you know?"
"Because some people posted it on ins." Bae Xiuzhi raised an eyebrow.
Gu Heng was speechless and choked.
I don't know what Li Zhien's girl did on the Instagram platform last night.
Gu Heng rubbed his eyebrows in distress, and then half-jokingly, "What, does Xiuzhi also want to press the New Year's money?"
The corners of Pei Xiuzhi's mouth curved, "I don't need it, I'll leave it to Zhi'en."
"Huh?"
"I've had rice cake soup in the morning, and I'm barely twenty years old now." She replied with a wink.
Gu Heng snorted, "It would be nice if someone had this kind of consciousness and cognition like you."
Bae Xiuzhi smiled and didn't speak.
"By the way, have you been working on a script called "" lately?" Thinking of something, Gu Heng suddenly asked.
「《》?」 Pei Xiuzhi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and replied, "Yes, the company received the scripts of the first few episodes the day before yesterday."
"Are you going to pick it up?"
"Hmm," Pei Xiuzhi frowned, "There is another TV series called "The Book of Nine Families" that I am currently in contact with, I haven't thought about it myself, and the company asked me to be cautious."
Although after the explosion of "Introduction to Architecture", there were countless scripts handed to her through JYP.
But it was also a danger to become famous, and all eyes fell on her.
"It's always right to be cautious."
"But oppa, how did you know about this, this project seems to be still in the early stages."
"I just happen to know," Gu Heng shook his head, and didn't choose to continue the matter, "I'll go get some return gifts, and you and your uncle and aunt will take them with you when you leave."
He has a good relationship with Pei Xiuzhi, so he can't affect the other party's judgment.
Looking at his back, the corners of Pei Xiuzhi's mouth curled.
"That doesn't seem right."
