125, side two(1/4)
Lunar New Year's eve.
The pace of the Spring Festival travel rush is coming to an end, and no matter the city or rural areas, they are all falling into wonderful excitement and silence at the same time.
There is a small traffic on the street. In addition to the positions on duty, there are no more people walking outside. There are so many noises in thousands of households.
Wei Family.
Manager Zhou and others just work here. No matter how hard he works, he always has to go back to his hometown during the Spring Festival. Therefore, during the past New Year, most of the Wei family chose to go to restaurants outside for New Year’s Eve dinner.
However, people usually have nothing to say, so even during such festivals, the relationship between family members still seems stiff and lonely.
But this year is a little different. The entire Wei family house is brightly lit, and the whole family doesn’t seem to want to go out.
Shu Wanrong got down from the upper floor. She put on exquisite makeup and wore more formal clothes. She pulled down her hair while walking, looking at the father and son sitting in the living room.
Wei Tianyi and Wei Chengshu were wearing home clothes, sitting at both ends of the sofa in the living room playing with their mobile phones. The father and son didn't speak, as if they were immersed in the screen of the mobile phone. If they ignored their eyes that turned to the direction of the door from time to time, it would indeed seem much more casual than her.
It was noisy outside, and there seemed to be fireworks, but the three of them were not in the mood to join in the fun. Silence enveloped this large house. Everyone seemed to have no expectations for the upcoming Spring Festival. It was not until Wei Xi brought his successful proposal into the house that the atmosphere seemed to have changed a little bit.
Of course, the change has nothing to do with Shuo Zong's face that everyone knows about in the commercial field, and it has nothing to do with the pigeon eggs that are shining brightly indoor lights on his left hand.
Wei Tianyi and Wei Chengshu both stood up from the sofa and stared at Wei Xi very seriously. Seeing that these two unpromising people didn't say anything for a long time, Shu Wanrong had no choice but to speak helplessly: "President Wei, is he...he is he back?"
Wei Xi didn't understand at the beginning: "Who?"
Wei Tianyi and Wei Chengshu's face changed slightly, and they saw Wei Xi turn his head and look at the right side of a man in a black suit beside him: "I finally returned to the sect, why are you hiding?"
The Wei family looked at the open space together, and Shu Wanrong was shocked: "...Who are you talking to?"
Wei Xi glanced at them strangely, and then suddenly replied: "I forgot that this is not the Chenghuang Office, you shouldn't see him."
After saying that, he shouted for a charity.
Tuanjieyi walked forward happily and put a spell on the Wei family one by one. Shu Wanrong felt that her eyes suddenly tightened, and then a magical scene appeared. A familiar face appeared in the empty position of the man in the black suit in front of him.
If it's not a stepson, who is it?
Hei Wuchang smiled and asked for credit to Wei Xi: "Director Wei, this time was the busiest time of the Yin Caosi. The City God and Earth Department in various places had annual meetings to prepare. He just joined the company this year and said that no matter how you asked for leave, you would be absent, that is, you have a great face."
The news that Taicang Sect had attained the Tao of Heaven and became the Tao of Heaven was spread throughout the Yin Caosi early. This terrible and sudden personnel change made the top leaders guarding Fengdu feel that their chairs were burning. The big leaders all showed this, and it was not necessary to say that the grassroots at the bottom were at the bottom. As the first disciple of Taicang Sect who Weixi personally admitted, the treatment of the little unlucky guy can only be described as rising water. Is it a problem to take a leave on New Year's Eve to go back to the living home for a New Year's Eve dinner? It's not a problem at all!
Hei Wuchang and Wei Xi were very satisfied with the status quo, and the atmosphere of the Wei family was much weirder than theirs.
When the little unlucky guy saw his family, he did not show a look of joy on his face, and he seemed to be more willing to be beside Wei Xi.
With the eye opening talisman, Wei Tianyi and others could naturally see him, but they didn't know that it was because of the normal human beings's sudden attraction to see ghosts, or for other reasons, they did not say hello immediately.
Wei Xi ignored the strange exchanges between his disciples. After Hei Wuchang rushed to the Fengdu Annual Meeting to leave, he naturally led his Taoist couple back and greeted him: "It's not too early, should we stay together for the New Year?"
One wave outside was Mo Luo who brought out of the Demon Realm by Unite and Yi, and the other wave was Xia Shouren, a group of auspicious beasts from Ning Tian.
Wei Xi is not very good at sharing things with others.
Mo Luo in the Demon World is now all his own employees. Xia Shouren and others, although they are not very familiar with each other, they are all Que'er's helpers.
Que'er and herself are now Taoist couples.
Then round it up, Que'er's helper = his own helper = Taicang Sect's helper.
It is still very qualified to stay for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Xia Shouren never thought that he would have a day in his life when he was invited by Wei Xi for dinner. For a moment, he even forgot the impact of the fool couple who had been exposed at the proposal site just now. He turned his eyes to his buddy in a panic: "Can we really stay?"
Shuo Zong held Wei Xi's hand and slashed the huge diamond on the ring with his fingertips. His mind was still half dizzy. At this time, Yu Guang glanced at Xia Shouren and others, and took out his big belly tolerant owner: "Listen to Wei Xi."
Upon hearing this, the auspicious beasts cheered collectively and rushed into the room. They had no idea that they had been divided into the commandable labor force by Weixi from this moment.
The innocent Xia Shouren even felt unrealistic as a pie falling from the sky: "My God! Pixiu and Taotie invite you to the New Year's Eve dinner. This is the sun that hits the west! I will get rich after this meal!"
There is a reason why they are so excited about a New Year’s Eve dinner.
If you say that the lives of auspicious beasts are indeed very long, but from another perspective, they are indeed quite hard to live.
First of all, everyone has a strong sense of territory. Although they usually have contacts due to work and their relationships seem to be good, just like Shuo Sect rarely sends people to their own homes, everyone’s private territory is usually sacred and inviolable, and they rarely visit each other at will.
Secondly, there are very few auspicious beasts that can find Taoist couples who have been with you for a lifetime over the long years. Especially after the collapse of the heavenly way, everyone's range of mate selection was further compressed to a more stringent level.
It is precisely because of this that although Ning Tian’s auspicious beasts say that they hate work, most of them are more willing to stay in the company and work overtime than staying alone after get off work. At least in the company, everyone has something to say, so they will not be as lonely as staying at home.
This feeling of loneliness is particularly obvious in New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, which is popular in the world, and every household celebrates reunion.
Shuozong is unique in nature, and he doesn’t have close contact with everyone. It’s even more a fantasy to celebrate the New Year together. After all, auspicious beasts are just New Year.
Therefore, everyone is very excited now. After running into the Wei family, they seem to be at a loss and stand in the living room in a daze.
Xia Shouren didn't dare to disturb his buddy, for fear that he would be driven out if he was too annoyed, so he had to ask Duanjieyi next to him: "That's it, the devil, what should he do during the New Year?"
Unity and Rebellion followed: "How do I know?"
Xia Shouren asked in shock: "Haven't you ever been a human before? You've said that the New Year has been more than twenty times!"
Unity and Yi stamped his feet: "I was begging for food at that time! It was the first time I spent the New Year in a heated house, okay?"
A low cough suddenly came from the side. The two of them looked at the source of the sound together. They saw Wei Tianyi picking up the remote control on the coffee table with a calm face. There was no sign of being unacceptable to the amount of information they said just now: "What are you shouting! Isn't the New Year just watching the Spring Festival Gala and having dinner!"
The TV clicked on, and after a brief wait, the screen was red and green, and the music of singing and dancing performed gently flowed out of the speaker.
Wei Tianyi put down the remote control and finally regained his momentum. He turned to his eldest son who was standing in the distance and didn't want to get close. After a while, he was silent and spoke the first greeting of the two parties.
"Why are you stunned there?"
************
The Wei family this year is indeed a little different.
The house was warmed by lights and heating, not as quiet as before. Auspicious beasts and Morals squeezed into the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Thousands of years ago, this scene would probably shock the chins of all the gods and Buddhas in the two heavenly courts in the East and West.
But now they get along very harmoniously, after all, this is the first time they celebrate the New Year.
Everyone was inexperienced, so Weixi came to the TV and judged that there was no interesting link in it.
After a sketch that was not laughable, Wei Xi frowned and said to Shuozong: "This is the program that everyone wants to watch during the New Year in the world? Where do humans think it is good to watch?"
The other audience members in the living room conveyed the same doubts in confusion.
Shuo Zong stood behind Wei Xi, as a non-human, and also felt that the party looked average.
At this time, I heard the little unlucky guy beside me speak and gently defend humans: "In fact, humans don't think the Spring Festival Gala is so beautiful."
Wei Xi asked: "But I heard from Jieyi that this program is very popular among humans."
"What humans welcome is not the Spring Festival Gala program." The little unlucky guy explained, "It's that feeling."
Wei Xi and the rest of the audience couldn't understand: "What does it feel?"
"It's..." The little unlucky guy thought for a while, and his voice became very melancholy and gentle, "It's the feeling of family reunion and someone accompanying you? In fact, for humans, what is important is not the program, but the people who watch the program together and spend New Year's Eve to welcome the New Year."
Wei Xi nodded as if he had understood and subconsciously grabbed the arm of his second disciple behind him. The other auspicious beast Mo Luo felt the flow of consciousness and couldn't help but sigh: "Humans are really complicated."
"Is it very complicated?" Shuo Zong raised his hand and pressed it on Wei Xi's shoulder, with a huge dove egg on his finger shining brightly, "I understand anyway."
Auspicious beasts: "…"
Xia Shouren gritted his teeth and turned his head to the beginning, always feeling that he had seen many sufferings waiting ahead in the future.
A sting suddenly came from a distance. When everyone looked back, they found that Shu Wanrong had cut the flour bag open.
The large dining table of Wei's family was spread with a panel rolling pin and a bunch of pots and pots. Shu Wanrong seemed to want to cook for the New Year's Eve dinner herself, but unfortunately she obviously didn't work often and didn't do well, and the restaurant was already in chaos.
Her beautiful lady is very incompatible with the kitchen, but the others present are also very close to her. Wei Xi didn't care about the flour that was swept all over the floor, and she was still very pleased: "Wanrong, you are really a pillar of my Taicang Zong."
Shu Wanrong: “…”
Shu Wanrong faced his face with a flour so that she couldn't tell it was, and she met his gaze with complex emotions. After thinking about it, she said, "Thank you."
She also couldn't figure out why she stayed here to make the New Year's Eve dinner.
However, even though she had already known the truth, the Wei family, including her, never mentioned the topic of "moving away". Even though the stepson's body was brought back by Wei Xi some time ago, the date of burial was planned.
But until now, when facing Wei Xi again, no matter how complicated her inner feelings are, she can't find fear or resentment.
She didn't know the attitude of her husband and son, but she could probably see some clues - the house was not a big problem for the Wei family. In addition to this villa, Wei Tianyi had at least three apartments in the capital, but the father and son never showed the intention of leaving.
However, there are still changes.
Wei Chengshu was more silent than before. Fortunately, he rarely went outside to find those friends who were racing. He was very busy recently and seemed to be planning to start a company with a few old classmates. Shu Wanrong asked once after learning the news. His son looked gloomy and confident that day, he told her that even if he was exhausted, he would never inherit Wei Tianyi's company.
Wei Tianyi... looks the same, and after learning about this, he also disdained his younger son's determination. Recently, when the father and son meet, they are speechless, as if they want to carry out the Cold War forever.
But Shu Wanrong knew that they were looking for a suitable cemetery in the capital when they had time in private, and seemed to want to choose the one with the best environment.
The cemetery with the best environment in the capital is the Heyuan developed by Xunchi Group. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is surrounded by large mountains in the south of the city. The feng shui is so outstanding. Many officials and nobles are buried there. Unfortunately, the Heyuan was developed too early. Xunchi Group was completed when Xunchi Group was just Xunchi Real Estate. Now more than ten years have passed, and it is no longer a place where you can enter with money. Now that I want to occupy a place in it, the father and son are having a headache.
Forget it, I don't want this anymore.
Shu Wanrong quietly used her own light to scan her stepson, who would rather stay with her guests than stand closer. She felt very moved in her heart, but there was no suitable word to summarize.
Fortunately, Wei Xi felt sorry for her. Wanrong is one of the most diligent and advanced disciples of Taicang Sect. How could she work alone? Wei Xi urged the lazy backward employee of her own sect who was standing at the door smoking: "Tianyi, why are you still standing there?"
Wei Tianyi turned around with a cigarette in his mouth, and there was still a little bit of vicissitudes that had not faded in his irritable eyebrows: "????"
Wei Xi glanced at Shu Wanrong and signaled to him: "Why don't you go and help me quickly."
Wei Tianyi: “…………………………………………”
Shu Wanrong was also a little dumbfounded: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no."
Wei Tianyi is not a worker! Not to mention cooking, he usually doesn’t even help the oil bottle when he pours it!
The little unlucky guy next to Weixi saw the bad expression on his father's door, and couldn't help but shrank and took a step back into the auspicious beast group.
