Chapter 171 The disco-like lantern

Since it is the Chinese New Year, it is natural that the home should have a New Year flavor.

The red lantern has been hung on the windowsill, not the kind that only glows red, but a disco lantern that emits colorful rolling light when plugged in.

Sometimes Chen Pingsheng doesn't quite understand why middle-aged and elderly people like such fancy things.

But there's no reason. Maybe it's just that this thing is more eye-catching and can stand out among the many red lanterns in the same building.

Moreover, Chinese people pay attention to pairs, so there is no doubt that my father bought two and hung them high in the kitchen.

He had already thought that when passers-by downstairs passed by, they would raise their heads and glance at the two shining spheres in the window, and they might still be a little confused.

Why do people hang disco balls in their kitchens during the New Year?

With this thought in mind, Chen Pingsheng decided that it would be better to stay in the kitchen less.

"Come, son, tell mom how you are living in South China!" His mother, Chen Jing, put the things on the table and pulled Chen Pingsheng into his room.

He hasn't been back here for a long time, and it's not the same as before.

The curtains were changed from the original pattern to symmetrical multi-color curtains, and the four-piece set on the bed was also changed to a new dark green color, which looks very warm.

Chen Pingsheng put his computer bag and camera on his desk. The incandescent lamp in the room was a bit dim. He turned on the switch of the desk lamp, and it suddenly became much brighter.

"How's it going? I've changed it for you, do you like it?" The mother leaned against the wall and looked at her son.

"I like it." Chen Pingsheng found that the books in his bookshelf had been packed away, and now there were some of his father's things.

"Your dad usually comes to your room for naps, and neither of us disturbs the other, which is great." Mother explained, with a smile on her face.

"Yeah." Chen Pingsheng nodded and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Tell Mom, how does it feel to be famous?" His mother teased him, sitting on the chair.

"It's okay." When facing relatives, Chen Pingsheng becomes more reserved and speaks more reservedly.

"I'm being modest. When I look online, they call me Teacher Chen or Master Chen." His mother, Chen Jing, is also an online surfer, so naturally she can see his influence in the film industry.And she usually likes to watch short videos. After learning that her son won the award, she basically searched intensively, so that now all the short videos recommended to her are videos of a certain college student winning awards.

"It's all just for fun." Chen Pingsheng felt that there was no barrier between him and he chatted with his mother easily.

Although there is an age gap here, his mother's thinking is similar to that of young people, and she is not bound by old-fashioned ideas.

In addition, as someone who has experienced it, she sees things more comprehensively, so when discussing some problems, she can always give solutions from another angle.

An hour passed while they were chatting. It wasn't until their father called the two of them to eat that they came out of the house.

"Your dad specially made the pickled cabbage stewed with bones for you. I know you like to eat it. Isn't it delicious?" In this family, it is his father who cooks.

Although he is Chen Pingsheng's stepfather, he is also the best father to him.

Even better than his biological father.

Ever since he was a child, he has never had a cold expression towards Chen Pingsheng, and he would never reprimand him at any time.

On the contrary, my mother was more strict when she was a child.

And the reason why he cooks is not because he makes money, but because he is doing business abroad and he pays for the family's expenses.

Just because his mother didn't like to cook, this man took on the heavy responsibility of the kitchen.

Maybe this is the sense of responsibility in men.

"Quick, get your chopsticks and let's eat." The father came from the kitchen with a bowl of pickled cabbage and bone soup, put it on the table, and then urged the two of them to serve.

Chen Pingsheng went to the kitchen and got garlic sauce, soy sauce, mature vinegar and sesame oil.This is a condiment for Northeastern people to eat. Whether they are eating dumplings or eating bones, they are needed.

Put a spoonful of garlic sauce into a bowl, pour in a little soy sauce and mature vinegar, and then add two drops of sesame oil, and this is a Northeastern condiment dish.

After washing their hands and taking the chopsticks, the three of them sat on the chairs.

Everyone on the table also prepared a cup. My father took out a bottle of white wine from behind and poured it for everyone.

"Come on, it's Chinese New Year, let's have a little drink." My mother didn't dissuade her, but was very happy.

The drinking culture in the Northeast can be regarded as the same. From childhood to adulthood, basically all the men in the family did not drink.

Except for his father Li Xue himself, he is the type who gets drunk after drinking a few drinks, so no matter how happy he is, he can only drink one drink.

Chen Pingsheng did not refuse. After the glasses were filled, several people raised their glasses.

Li Xue said: "Celebrate the return of my life."

Chen Jing: "Welcome home!"

Chen Pingsheng nodded to express his gratitude, and then drank half of the wine in the glass.

"Eat, eat."

The sound of chopsticks and chewing soon became the main rhythm at the dinner table, mixed with some caring words and questions from his parents. Chen Pingsheng answered with a smile without stopping.

I feel like my appetite has improved a lot since I got home.

It wasn't until the sky was getting dark and the lanterns in the kitchen started to light up that Chen Pingsheng and his family finished their meal.

At home, you have to wash your own dishes and chopsticks, as well as your own underwear.

This is what Chen Jing has been teaching him to do since junior high school, so he has been relatively independent since he was a child and will not let his parents worry about some life matters.

After everything was done, Chen Pingsheng was lying on his bed, looking at the ceiling and feeling as if he had entered another world.The style here is completely different from that in South China. Everything seems to have a nostalgic filter added to the eyes, making people unable to help but think of those things in the past.

I still remember that when I was a child, what I was most afraid of when I was lying in bed at night was that my parents would suddenly open the door and come in, because every day Chen Pingsheng would read novels under the covers with his Nokia mobile phone.

Fortunately, the genes inherited from my family are good. Except for the slightly weaker vision in my right eye, which is over 100 degrees, I have no problem with the vision in my left eye at all.

In order to avoid being discovered, many countermeasures were thought up at that time.For example, they pretend to be asleep and wait for their parents to turn off the lights and look at their mobile phones. After their mobile phones are confiscated, they secretly take them out to play with them while their parents are not at home.There are also hiding mobile phones under the table and hiding mobile phones under books. These are all things he did when he was a child.

Chen Pingsheng spent his high school years in a battle of wits and courage with his parents, and then entered college.

So much so that even now, lying on the bed and looking at the door, I still feel a palpitation in my heart.

Even though he is no longer bound by his studies, the intimidation of his parents still exists in his heart.

Maybe this is also an additional BUFF to the home. Chen Pingsheng smiled and looked out the window.

At this time, the lanterns are starting to come on, and every household lights up their lanterns. Basically, what you see are all kinds of lanterns, and no lanterns are exactly the same.

The bedroom window happened to look into the corner, so Chen Pingsheng saw the color configuration that could be called a disco from the color changes of the glass.

"It's so dazzling." He murmured to himself, feeling that it was fashionable in the extreme.

"Life, your mother is calling you." Suddenly, his father Li Xue, wearing a red sweater, pushed the door open and said to him.

"What's going on?" Chen Pingsheng thought something was going on, but as soon as he entered the master bedroom, he saw the cards already laid out in front of his mother.

"Come on, come on! Let's fight the landlord." Mother Chen Jing has a lively and active temperament. It should be said that the women in the old Chen family are like this and love to have fun.

So every Chinese New Year, under her arrangement, there would always be some entertainment activities at home.

Landlord Dou is naturally one of the must-have options.

In addition to it, there are also poker games such as running fast and leveling up. However, due to Li Xue's strong request, their family mainly uses landlord fighting as entertainment.

The reason why my father persisted was because he liked the local landlord very much.

I like it to the point where I don’t have a bomb in my hand, but only two people who dare to ask for it.

Therefore, during high school, part of Chen Pingsheng's New Year's pocket money came from funding from his father, a landlord.

He was sitting on the bed, forming a triangle with his parents.

"Now you are making money too, boy, you must have a lot of money in your hands." Chen Jing asked with a smile.

"It's okay, not much." At least compared to the upcoming film festival expenses, it's really not much.

"Then let's go bigger this time, it's ten yuan." Chen Jing suggested.

Li Xue shook his head: "That won't work. If ten yuan is doubled, it won't be twenty anymore. If it's two bombs plus spring, it's too much."

"Yes, then five yuan." Chen Jing lowered the price by half.

This time Li Xue agreed: "Okay."

"During the Chinese New Year, we should play bigger and bigger in life. What do you think?" Chen Jing asked Chen Pingsheng for his opinion.

Chen Pingsheng feels that with his skills, there is really no pressure. For so many years, he has been the winner every time.

"Okay, it's only five yuan."

The mother did not shuffle the cards, and the three of them took turns to draw a card. The result was that the father was the biggest.

"It looks like I have to take this one." Li Xue's face was filled with joy, feeling that his first move was very important.

"Lao Li, if you want it, you're in luck." Chen Jing said and winked at her son.

Chen Pingsheng understood that this was the rhythm to defeat Landlord Li together.

But when the three of them actually got their hands on the cards, Chen Pingsheng looked at his own pair and suddenly found that he was a little lucky.

Two kings, two twos, one plane, two singles.

Chen Pingsheng did the math and found that there were three 3s running outside, but other than that there were no bombs.So during the bidding stage, the landlord was directly in his hands.

"It's over, Lao Li, look at your son, something big is coming!" Chen Jing reached out and pushed Li Xue.

Li Xue shook his head: "Then I can't help it, there are too many single cards."

Then Chen Pingsheng turned over the three covered cards, and the two of them felt regretful.

A 2, an A, and a 3.

Chen Jing pointed to her card: "If I take it, there will be a bomb."

Li Xue could see it and understood: "If you dare to ask for it in your life, even if you have two kings, four threes are useless."

This is true. Chen Pingsheng basically encountered no obstacles with this card and directly won his first victory.

Shuffling the cards and looking at his parents' smiling faces, he suddenly felt a sense of security in his heart.

At home, he could finally let go of everything, his identity and baggage, and become the little boy again, facing life without any worries.

This is undoubtedly the best therapy, isn't it?
