So red that everything is black

Chapter 90 Big Red (twenty-eight)

"Tell the truth! I'm not good enough for you, and I have no intention of falling in love." Wen Xinlan gave the chocolate gift box in her hand to Zhen Nuan, "I'll give you this box too! I just ate one and it almost made me bitter. Damn me! Let me let it go to waste."

Zhen Nuan happily accepted it, "No wonder you don't like it. Foreign chocolate is indeed more bitter and the taste is a bit astringent. But I checked the price of this box and it's super expensive! Boss Wei really treats you well. OK."

Wen Xinlan was used to looking down on these small favors and was unmoved at all, "With Boss Wei's worth, it would be weird to give him cheap goods!"

This is logically correct, but it still means that you are in the midst of blessings and don’t know how to be blessed. Zhen Nuan asked: "Did your uncle and aunt introduce you to a blind date?"

"This is not."

Zhen Nuan sighed deeply: "My parents introduced me to a bunch of blind dates. Except for New Year's Eve, they have been arranged until the end of the holiday."

"Wow! Uncle and aunt are so awesome! Take care of Nuannuan!"

The marriage of their children is always the obsession of their parents.

Even on New Year's Eve, the old couple kept hinting and urging.

Fang Jin took a meatball and gave it to her daughter: "Daughter, eat more, you won't be able to accompany us a few times in your life. When you get married, you will go to your husband's house for New Year's Eve dinner."

Wen Xinlan: "Mom, if I get married, won't I be able to come back to accompany you every year?"

Fang Jin scolded sternly: "No, you have to get married!"

"I find that you are very conflicted. You want me to accompany you, but you also have to drive me away."

Wen Hai said kindly: "How about Dad introduce you to a local boyfriend? You can spend the afternoon at our house and the evening at my husband's house."

Wen Xinlan: "Our local young talents have been targeted by a large group of matchmakers for a long time. Which one has not gotten married early? Is it my turn? Now I guess I can only find those who are remarried, divorced, or widowed."

Wen Hai: "It doesn't matter if I get married for the second time, as long as I treat you well. The key is that you are like this now."

"Why should I find a second marriage? Also, what happened to me?"

Fang Jin snorted, "You and Tong Lu have been together for so long. In the eyes of others, you have already been with someone else."

"Mom, what kind of feudal thinking are you talking about? The Qing Dynasty is dead!"

"Mom and dad are doing this for your own good!"

Wen Xinlan was dissatisfied, "You guys are really conflicted. At the same time, you want me to marry an out-of-reach wealthy family, while at the same time you are looking for a local divorced man. You wouldn't even dare to write like this in a novel!"

"Yes, yes, I think you are great, and I think you can write novels." Fang Jin said angrily, "I haven't seen that you can recruit a young talent to come back and show us."

"No personal attacks allowed! Speak with reason."

"Who attacked you?" Fang Jin gave her daughter another fried lotus root box, "Mom's New Year's wish is that you find a boyfriend as soon as possible and get married as soon as possible."

"Mom, I advise you to change your wish!" Wen Xinlan finished the rest of the meal and ran back to the hut.

Lying on the soft bed, she suddenly remembered what Wei Qingkuan said on the cruise ship.

Yes, what your parents force you to do may not necessarily be for your own good.

They just want to achieve their planned plans, such as the security of retirement in their later years, such as having face in front of relatives, such as enjoying the family happiness of treating grandchildren early, such as standing up and bragging to colleagues and friends, such as avoiding being gossiped by relatives and friends, For example, to complete the mission they think needs to be completed, such as to comfort the clan's spirits in heaven.

If you ask if there is one thing, is it for the children?

The answer is definitely yes.

But more for their own sake.

This is an instinct engraved in human genes.

Maybe the parents themselves don't know it, and mistakenly think that their actions are great, bright, upright and powerful. Mistaking Tiandao Gangchang for Shang Fang's sword, he stabbed the child gently.

What is ultimately harmed is the child's life-long happiness.

But as parents, they will be proud of this until their death. They are glad that their life was not in vain and that they successfully completed their tasks.

Wen Xinlan and Zhen Nuan are already twenty-eight years old, and they will be twenty-nine after this year.

Being twenty-nine years old and yet to get married and have children doesn't seem to be a big deal in Beicheng Haicheng, but in a small place like Lingcheng, people will indeed poke their spines and question whether they have unspeakable physical diseases or psychological problems. .

It is a pity that in today's era of great material prosperity, humanistic care has not kept pace with economic development, and always shows an incredible sense of fragmentation in some subtle places.

Wen Xinlan will not try to change this society. She can only stick to the life she wants.

"Ding Ding!"

Many New Year greetings messages were sent to my mobile phone.

There is also a long list of unread messages on CC. Wen Xinlan realized that she had really added a lot of new friends in the past six months.

Compared with last year's Chinese New Year, there were only a few greeting messages. This year there are too many to count.

Wen Xinlan underlined each reply.

When we paddled to Wei Qingkuan, we saw that he only said four words, Happy New Year.

Further down, Pei Yuan wrote a Zangtou poem, which when read means getting rich in the new year.

There were also some messages from editors and producers. Wen Xinlan carefully compiled the blessings and sent them back one by one.

Finally, Wen Xinlan sent big red envelopes to several reader groups, and also sent red envelopes to Zhen Nuan and the operation team respectively to express her gratitude.

Red envelopes are the best tool for testing your diving.

As soon as the front foot fired, the back foot group instantly became lively.

Many group friends started to bubble up and start chatting.

In addition to some expressions of thanks and New Year blessings, some readers of Gossip asked whether Wen Xinlan was celebrating the holidays at the Wei family or the Pei family?

The various news made Wen Xinlan dumbfounded. She immediately said that she was celebrating the holidays in her hometown and was not in a relationship.

Clarification is clarification, but no one believes it.

The group of friends are talking about the couple they like.

Wen Xinlan was surprised to find that in addition to Pei and Wei, there were also some evil rumors that could not be dealt with, such as some unfamiliar male Internet writers, such as some unfamiliar male stars.

She admires the imagination of netizens very much.

Netizens were able to turn strangers who had only met once into a touching love masterpiece. Even she, a writer, felt deeply ashamed and couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

"Crack!" Firecrackers sounded outside the window.

Although large cities have repeatedly banned the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers, in small cities, especially during the New Year, the sound of firecrackers has never really disappeared.

Amidst the intermittent sound of firecrackers, the world also ushered in a new year.

Wen Xinlan stared at the ceiling with blank eyes, always feeling that the past year was full of unreal feelings.

She really has readers.

She was really blushing.

She really signed a contract with Wenyuan Pavilion.

She has truly become a great writer.

She sold the copyrights of several movies for sky-high prices, purchased a villa, and her assets and fame have made a qualitative leap.

She also broke up with Tong Lu, whom she had been dating for seven years.

Moreover, that guy cheated on her and gave her the well-known oversized cuckold.

She also attended several annual meetings, met countless celebrities, and made many new friends.

Everything was incredible, as false as a dream.

*

On New Year's Day, Wen Xinlan was awakened by the louder sound of firecrackers.

My parents had already gone to a relative's house to pay New Year's greetings, and they didn't want to take her, an "older and unfilial daughter," with them.

Wen Xinlan felt comfortable alone, hiding in bed and enjoying the breeze.

On social networks, Pei Yuan posted a short video of his cat wishing New Year's Eve.

The fat orange cat was very well-behaved. The two kittens folded their paws together, congratulating each other up and down, and also made various pleasing movements in accordance with Pei Yuan's instructions.

Wen Xinlan, who had never raised a small animal before, also fell in love with it and couldn't help but want to raise a kitten.

But in her current state of mind, she has not been able to convince herself to take responsibility for an innocent little life, and she has only stayed at the stage of sucking cats on video.

Wen Xinlan forwarded Pei Yuan’s video and commented, “Congratulations on getting rich!”

It didn’t take long for the post to gain a lot of likes from netizens, sparking a carnival among “Lanyuan” fans.

　Happy New Year to my readers! Make a fortune in the new year! I wish every writer friend who reads this article of mine to become famous all over the world in the New Year and make money every day!
