Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

"Are you sure that was love at first sight, and not lust?" Zhang Ze joked, suppressing the discomfort in his throat.

"Um, even if I were to fall for her at first sight, I would still treat her well for the rest of my life!" Zhang Chuanjun stammered, trying to justify himself.

Zhang Ze stopped teasing his cousin and nodded, saying, "It's no use if you fall in love at first sight. The girl has to like you back. Go home and have Li Ma find a matchmaker to ask the girl's family what they think of you."

"Oh!" he replied somewhat nervously.

After Zhang Ze and his group left, Tian Weiwei's mother asked her daughter which number she had chosen.

This family is quite talented.

Tian Weiwei goes on seven or eight blind dates every day to avoid forgetting or confusing them.

They even set up a queuing system at home.

Each boy who came to the house for a blind date was numbered in order, and the general situation of the boy's family was recorded in detail.

Tian's mother took over the small note that Tian Weiwei had written down, on which was written...

"Number One is too ugly"

"Number Two is too short"

"Number 3 is too boring"

"Number Four Stingy"

Number 5 is alright.

"Number Six Stutterer"

"Stutterer Number 7"

When Tian's mother saw that number 5 was alright, her eyes lit up.

In the past ten days or so, her daughter has been on blind dates with nearly a dozen boys, and this is the first time she has received a positive review.

"Why did you write 'stuttering' in the last two sentences? You speak normally when you talk to us!" Mother Tian frowned, puzzled.

"I don't know either. It's just that after Zhang Chuanjun left, these two people behind him started stammering and stuttering when I asked them questions!"

If Zhang Ze were here, he would definitely smile. The two people behind him were intimidated by Zhang Ze's group's presence and lost their confidence.

"So you've taken a liking to this Zhang Chuanjun?" Tian's mother knew what kind of temper her daughter had; she was probably just shy, which was why she wrote it so well.

"He's not bad, we can get to know him better!" Tian Weiwei said shyly, looking down.

"Alright, I'll tell the matchmaker right away. To be honest, your father and I also like this young man."

"The young man is handsome and his home is in a neighboring village, so your father and I are at ease."

Besides, his cousin is a big star; he's sure to have a good life in the future! Get to know him better and see what his character and personality are like!

The girl's family over there are discussing the summary of today's blind date event.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ze and his family in Zhangjia Village were also anxiously awaiting news.

When they heard that the girl had a good impression of Zhang Chuanjun and was willing to continue to get to know him, the whole family was very happy.

They had already received news from Zhang Ze that the girl was quite pretty and spoke with poise and grace.

Moreover, the girl's parents are honest people, so they are considered a good match.

For a family, the greatest joy is seeing its descendants multiply and flourish.

Gradually, the conversation turned to Zhang Ze, urging him to find a wife as soon as possible.

Zhang Ze quickly brushed it off by saying that his career was currently on the rise.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Ze received a year-end bonus of 80,000 yuan from his company.

Although it wasn't much, it made me quite happy.

He then gave 20,000 yuan to Xu Qing, his assistant.

To be honest, Xu Qing has had a tough life.

Despite traveling all over the country, especially to Harbin where the temperature was below minus thirty degrees Celsius and I was freezing, I didn't complain once.

That brat has grown up!

Time flies, and the end of the year is here.

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Ze went to the New Year's market with his father during the day.

Zhang Ze bought a lot of fireworks and cannons, which cost him about five thousand yuan.

My father kept muttering that there was too much, but the smile on his lips never disappeared.

Seeing Zhang Ze and his son pull a small cart full of fireworks home, the children playing at the village entrance were very happy and kept circling around the cart.

Zhang Ze took some fireworks from the car and distributed them to the children, shouting, "Hurry home, everyone! Look at your faces, they're so cold your noses are running. Come back after dinner tonight, and we'll set off fireworks together!"

The children, having received the fireworks, scattered in a commotion, heading home and clamoring for lighters from their parents…

At 8 p.m., Zhang Ze and his family gathered together to watch the New Year's Eve galas of various provinces.

They knew that Zhang Ze had appeared on the Spring Festival Gala of three television stations this year, and they were all very excited and hopeful.

As a large family, they share in the glory. Zhang Ze's success makes them feel very proud.

Before it even started, Zhang Chuanjun secretly called Tian Weiwei and told her to tune in to these three satellite TV channels.

In just three days, he's already started calling me "our brother"!

As the various galas began airing, Zhang Ze's family got busy, constantly switching between the three satellite channels, afraid of missing Zhang Ze's program.

The family was very excited when they saw Zhang Ze and Huang Bo performing together on stage.

Huang Bo is now a top-tier celebrity, and his son's pride in being able to perform on the same stage as a top-tier star is self-evident.

The family was enjoying the evening show when Zhang Ze was pulled away by a group of children.

They were insisting on setting off fireworks.

Looking at the group of unruly kids surrounding him, calling him "Second Uncle" and "Second Master" repeatedly, Zhang Ze couldn't get angry and could only let them take out a lot of fireworks.

Looking at the dazzling fireworks in the sky, Zhang Ze felt a sense of happiness!

This was the most fruitful year, the happiest year!

Early on the morning of the 31st day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Ze's mother, Gao Hongxia, got up to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhang Ze summarized a pattern: before the Lunar New Year, it's all about being busy. After the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, it's all about preparing for the New Year, frying meatballs, steaming buns, steaming flower cakes, and New Year's Eve is also busy, busy making the New Year's Eve dinner and making dumplings.

And after the New Year, things get busy again!

Busy with New Year's greetings and visiting relatives!

However, Zhang Ze found joy in being busy.

This is the true spirit of the New Year!

In the morning, Zhang Ze and his son worked together to put up the Spring Festival couplets in their home. The bright red couplets looked very festive.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, groups of men began to emerge from the streets.

At this time, my cousin and my second uncle also came to Zhang Ze's house to gather.

They were going to their ancestral graves to invite the deceased elders back home for the Lunar New Year.

After waiting for about ten minutes, my uncle's family, who lived in the city, also arrived.

They met up again on the road; the father's cousins, a family of over twenty people, headed towards the ancestral graves in a grand procession.

Nowadays, you can hardly see any women on the streets; they're all at home preparing for the Lunar New Year's Eve dinner.

All those who came out were men and boys, and there were a few little ones in Zhang Ze's group.

After returning to my grandfather's house from the ancestral graves, my father and second uncle carefully took out the ancestral tablets from the central hall and hung them in front of the main room.

At this point, Grandpa had already pulled out the family genealogy, which was full of the marks of time, and began to explain the family history to everyone, bit by bit.

Zhang Ze went through the same thing when he was a child.

This is what inheritance is all about!
