Film and Television Overview: Starting from the Same Window

After a year of working away from home and being a corporate slave, isn't it all for those few days when we go home and put on a good show?

"dong dong dong"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Jing Xiaoai said.

Then, Zhou Shengchen saw Nie Xingchen walk in.

"Emma, ​​the hotel for the party on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month has been booked," Nie Xingchen said meticulously.

"I understand." Jing Xiaoai nodded, then looked at Zhou Shengchen beside her: "Honey, do you want to come and participate?"

"No!" Zhou Shengchen shook his head and waved his hand, politely declining, "They're all strangers, I wouldn't feel comfortable going there."

“Alright then!” Jing Xiaoai said.

"You go ahead and get busy!" Zhou Shengchen suddenly stood up and said, "The New Year is just a few days away, I'm going to prepare for the New Year."

.... .. ...

"Mmmmmmm!"

.........

Although it doesn't snow much in the southern part of the city, it's still bitterly cold during the Lunar New Year.

On the bustling streets, pedestrians hurried by, and although the warm sun hung high in the sky, it did little to alleviate the chill.

Pedestrians on the street, dressed in trench coats and down jackets, hurried along, their faces thoughtful.

The low-pressure environment and cold seemed to have created a barrier between everyone, isolating people from each other.

With his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, Zhou Shengchen strolled down the street, watching the crowds pass by.

The phone rang urgently.

Zhou Shengchen looked at the contact information above and gave a bitter smile.

I reached out and pressed the green module on the icon.

"Hello, senior brother."

"Xiao Chen, how about coming to my house for Chinese New Year this year?" Song Yiren's voice on the other end of the phone was gentle and filled with anticipation.

"Senior brother, I don't plan to go back to Jiangzhou for the New Year."

"Why?"

“I have a girlfriend, and she lives alone, so I have to stay with her.”

"Then bring her along! It'll be good for your sister-in-law and me to check her out."

"We've only known each other for a short time, it would be a bit abrupt to take him back now, let's talk about it later! By the way, senior brother, I wish you a happy new year in advance."

"Xiao Chen, you too!"

"Senior brother, I have something to attend to, I'll hang up now!"

"Alright! Make sure you eat well and dress well, and remember to tell your senior brother if you run out of money."

"Senior, my parents left me a lot of money, enough to live on. Bye!!"

"Bye-bye!" Qian.

Chapter 141: New Year's Eve

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shengchen thought about many things.

The senior apprentice he mentioned was named Song Yiren, who was the nephew of Zhou Shengchen's deceased traditional Chinese medicine teacher.

When Zhou Shengchen became an apprentice, he also studied under Song Yiren for a period of time. After all, his teacher was old at the time and not very energetic, so he could not teach him all the time.

His senior brother, Song Yiren, is no ordinary person either. He is also a master of traditional Chinese medicine, and his son-in-law is Ren Xinzheng, the current president of Jiangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who is the male lead in the TV series "The Next Generation".

Just as Zhou Shengchen was lost in thought, his phone rang again.

Zhou Shengchen looked at the contact information above and gave another bitter smile.

"Uncle Tang!"

"Xiao Chen! Come to my house for Chinese New Year this year!"

"Uncle Tang, I'm afraid it won't work this year! I have a girlfriend, and I have to spend the New Year with her!"

"What? You have a girlfriend? What are you going to do with Guoguo? She said she'd marry you after graduating from university on April 23rd."

"I guess she was just joking. I remember she's been pursuing Zheng Chu."

"Xiao Chu has always treated her like a younger sister, and he also has a girlfriend now, who is Guo Guo's classmate, so there's no possibility between them. Xiao Chen, your uncle still thinks highly of you!"

"..."

Ten minutes later, Zhou Shengchen breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.

The man he called "Uncle Tang" was a good friend of Zhou Shengchen's father. The two met during a hiking trip.

Uncle Tang slipped and fell off a cliff, but Zhou Shengchen's father saved him.

Then, the two became good friends and kept in touch frequently afterward.

As for "Guoguo," she is Uncle Tang's daughter. She is a very popular singer in the entertainment industry right now, the kind that's super hot.

Guoguo's sudden popularity is also inseparable from the several classic pop songs from her past life that Zhou Shengchen gave her.

Coming to his senses, and to prevent any more calls from coming in, Zhou Shengchen took out his phone and called back each of his contacts one by one.

Among them were Jingjing from Jiangyi, Gu Yanfeng, and Teacher Pei from Jiangzhou...

.........

evening.

Zhou Shengchen drove his Rolls-Royce and a van to the front of his villa.

This year, Zhou Shengchen decided to have Jing Xiaoai spend the Chinese New Year at his home.

Zhou Shengchen spent more than two hours browsing the supermarket, and he himself didn't know exactly how much New Year's goods he bought.

The food category alone includes fruits and vegetables, tea, wine, oil and sauce, roasted nuts and dried fruits, candy, seafood, snacks and beverages, etc.

Other decorations, such as firecrackers, lanterns, New Year pictures, Spring Festival couplets, paper-cuts, and red envelopes, are also plentiful.

Zhou Shengchen even bought a lot of chicken, duck, fish, meat, and dried seafood, such as black fungus, vermicelli, dried bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, seaweed, dried shrimp, dried fish, cured meat, and ham.

After opening the villa gate, Zhou Shengchen directed two delivery workers to carry the items inside.

Although the delivery was free, Zhou Shengchen still gave the two workers two packs of cigarettes as a gift after they had finished unloading the items.

After the workers left, Zhou Shengchen sorted through the New Year's goods, then prepared a delicious meal, dressed up, and went to find Jing Xiaoai.

Three days later, it's Lunar New Year's Eve.

Lunar New Year's Eve, also known as the Great Eve, New Year's Eve, or Year's Eve, refers to the last day of the lunar year in the Chinese lunar calendar. It is connected to the Spring Festival (the first day of the first lunar month) and is a day for people to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new, pray for blessings and ward off disasters.

"New Year's Eve" had many elegant names in ancient times, such as: Chu Tan, Chu Ye, Zhu Chu, Sui Chu, Da Chu, Da Jin, etc. —Foreword

As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the room, Zhou Shengchen slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously touched Jing Xiaoai's delicate body beside him.

When his fingers touched her fair and jade-like skin, Zhou Shengchen smiled slightly and turned his head to look at Jing Xiaoai's serene and beautiful sleeping face.

At this moment, Jing Xiaoai's hair was disheveled, her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, her perfect cheeks were rosy and delicate, her sexy red lips, as red as rose petals, were slightly parted, revealing her white teeth, and her exquisite little nose gently opened and closed.

Zhou Shengchen gently kissed Jing Xiaoai on the forehead and then got up to wash up.

Half an hour later, Zhou Shengchen returned to the bedroom, sat down next to Jing Xiaoai, and smiled:

"Xiao Ai, get up and have breakfast!"

"Hmm~"

With a soft reply, Jing Xiaoai sat up in bed: "Honey, why are you up so early?"

Zhou Shengchen said helplessly, "The sun is already high in the sky, it's getting late. I made egg pancakes and millet porridge, get up and eat."

"No!" Jing Xiaoai pouted and said coquettishly, "Honey, can you bring it over and feed me?"

"You!" Zhou Shengchen gently pinched her nose, his eyes full of doting affection.

Turning around, Zhou Shengchen went to the kitchen and brought over some egg pancakes and millet porridge. He picked up a small piece of egg pancake, held it to Jing Xiaoai's lips, and smiled.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah~~"

"Ah~~"

After feeding Jing Xiaoai some egg pancakes, Zhou Shengchen handed her some millet porridge and smiled.

"You can serve yourself the millet porridge, okay?"

"Hmm~"

Nodding slightly, Jing Xiaoai took the millet porridge, ate a couple of spoonfuls, and then looked at Zhou Shengchen and asked, "Honey, why aren't you eating?"

Instead of answering, Zhou Shengchen asked, "Is the egg pancake delicious?"

"good to eat!"

"That's good!"

Zhou Shengchen picked up a piece of egg pancake with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a while, and then ate it, saying, "It tastes alright. The key is that it's my first time making it, so I don't have much experience. I'll let you try it first. If it's not good, I won't eat it!"

"Ugh, are you using me as a test subject?" Jing Xiaoai rolled her eyes at Zhou Shengchen and continued eating her porridge...

After she finished drinking, Zhou Shengchen took the plate and bowl away.

Half an hour later, Zhou Shengchen and Jing Xiaoai, who had already washed up, started getting busy.

First, they did a simple cleaning of the villa, and then they put up "Fu" (good fortune) stickers on the door, along with Spring Festival couplets, window decorations, New Year pictures, and so on.

Actually, Zhou Shengchen was the one who was busy, while Jing Xiaoai was responsible for cheering him on from the sidelines.

By around 10:30, Zhou Shengchen had finished setting things up.
