The girl said she was reluctant, but her body was quite honest. She obediently changed into the clothes Fang Siyan had prepared.
After a night of pleasure, the two of them entered the last week of work this year.
Ding Ruola decided to hold the studio's annual party after the Chinese New Year because the pre - holiday workload was quite heavy.
Due to the Chinese New Year, the video self - media also had to release relevant programs. To improve audience stickiness, Ding Ruola didn't dare to let this program stop updating.
There were all kinds of means in the self - media field now. If she slacked off a bit, the previous audience might turn to other programs because there was no show to watch that day.
As a result, her program would face more competitors.
This was how the self - media market was. The audience you didn't want, others would scramble for.
"Isn't this part of the script a bit awkward?"
Ding Ruola looked at the script Du Gaosi had handed over. The poetry chain in this part seemed unnecessary.
"No! You'll see the result later!"
On the stage, a bearded man stroked his belly with one hand and recited a senseless poem with a satisfied look on his face.
The effect was unexpectedly good. There was a sense of ridicule in the absurdity.
"The person who wrote this script is truly a genius among fools."
Ding Ruola couldn't help but give Du Gaosi a thumbs - up.
The special Chinese New Year program was finally recorded, marking the end of this year's work.
The couple had planned to go shopping for clothes but didn't manage to do so.
They just randomly picked out a few clothes and then went home. For convenience, Fang Siyan drove on the highway this time.
Five hours was no big deal for Fang Siyan.
But Ding Ruola got carsick. After taking the motion - sickness pill, she immediately leaned against the chair and fell asleep.
When they got home, it was just the afternoon of the 29th of the lunar month.
Fang Siyan parked the car steadily, opened the door, and woke Ding Ruola up.
Ding Ruola had slept for too long, and her steps were unsteady when she walked, just like a drunk person.
The man smiled indulgently, took off the scarf around his neck, wrapped it around Ding Ruola's neck, and then held her in his arms.
"Siyan! Let Ruola walk by herself! She's already grown up!"
Seeing the intimate young couple, especially Fang Siyan's attitude towards Ruola, Ding's mother was really happy from the bottom of her heart.
It seemed that the hardships her daughter had endured before were not in vain.
Ding's father was from the older generation. His thinking and style were very proper. When he saw the young people being so affectionate, he grunted and was just about to say something while holding his thermos cup. But with just a look from Ding's mother, he had to obediently go back into the house with his thermos cup in hand.
Fang Siyan laid the girl on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and then left.
"Siyan! This year, our two families will celebrate the New Year together and stay up for the New Year's Eve!"
Ding's mother liked to have a lively atmosphere. Although the two families lived just across the road from each other, they didn't visit each other often.
She knew that the Fang family was in business, and there were always many people coming and going. She was afraid that if she went to visit too often, it might affect the Fang family's business.
This concern made Ding's mother only able to wander in front of the Fang family's door.
"Sure! My mother also proposed the same thing when I was coming back."
Later, Ding Ruola woke up. She originally didn't plan to eat.
On the car, she felt nauseous, and her stomach still felt uncomfortable when she went to sleep.
But when she smelled the millet congee that Ding's mother had cooked, her appetite was whetted.
She had been in Kyoto for too long, eating the delicate food cooked by Fang Siyan. Now that she could eat such rustic food, she was really excited.
She drank a whole big bowl. Fang Siyan sat beside Ding Ruola, chewing his food slowly. His movements were more like those of a well - behaved young lady.
Ding's father scolded Ding Ruola for not eating like a girl. He didn't mean any harm. He just hoped that his daughter could be more ladylike so that the two of them would look more well - matched.
Ding Ruola blushed, gave her father a resentful look, and then lowered her head to eat in small mouthfuls.
Fang Siyan looked at the pretendingly virtuous Ding Ruola and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Ruoruo! I like you in any way."
The man reached out his hand and stroked Ding Ruola's hair. That night, Ding Ruola didn't sleep at home.
She and Fang Siyan went to the Fang family's house.
The two of them planned to go out with Fang's mother early the next morning to buy some Chinese New Year goods.
Seeing her daughter, who had just come back after a long time, going to live at someone else's house, Ding's mother felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
After all, it was her own daughter. She still couldn't accept such a change.
The next day, Fang Siyan drove the two most important women in his life to the market.
Fang's mother had lived in this area for a long time and didn't care about any image. She didn't want to go to those fresh - food supermarkets because the things there were neither fresh nor cheap.
She usually went to a market three kilometers away to buy vegetables.
There were several stalls there, and there was a wide variety of vegetables to choose from.
Ding Ruola wasn't picky about vegetables. She could only obediently stand aside and watch the mother - son duo bustling in front of the vegetable stalls.
When they got to the seafood section, this was Ding Ruola's forte.
"These river shrimps are a bit small. They're so small but still so expensive!"
Since Ding Ruola liked to eat these things, she had put a lot of effort into this area.
"We'll take this plate of Arctic scallops too!"
Ding Ruola noticed the Arctic scallops the shopkeeper had placed in the corner. They looked of good size and color.
Fang Siyan had no choice but to follow the two women around, carrying things and paying the bills.
In the afternoon, Ding Ruola directly dragged Fang's mother to her own home.
"Mom! Look who's here!"
Ding's mother was chopping dumpling stuffing in the kitchen. There was a clattering sound in the kitchen. When she heard someone calling her outside, the woman immediately came out of the kitchen.
"Sister - in - law!"
The two old ladies immediately shook hands and then sat down on the sofa beside them to chat.
They both complained about their own children.
Ding Ruola and Fang Siyan hid in the kitchen. Although the thumping sound of Fang Siyan chopping dumpling stuffing covered it up, Ding Ruola could still hear the two women's laughter.
Before the Spring Festival Gala started, the New Year's Eve dinner was already ready.
When the hosts came out to announce the start of the show, the whole family gathered around the table.
Ding's mother turned on all the lights in the house where there were bulbs.
"Siyan! When you get home, turn on the lights in your house too!"
The old customs couldn't be changed overnight. Ding Ruola accompanied Fang Siyan to the Fang family's house to turn on the lights.
"Laofang! Can we still celebrate the New Year together next year?"
Fang Siyan directly pinched Ding Ruola's face. The girl's eyes welled up with tears because of the pain.
"Listen to what you're saying! If you don't celebrate the New Year with me next year, what do you plan to do?"
The man's sudden domineeringness. He held Ding Ruola's face and kissed her lips.
"Did you just eat chocolate?"
The man could clearly feel the taste of cocoa in his mouth.
