In the small building, Wang Xu's house, nine people sat around a large copper pot. The steaming copper pot made the room feel warm.

The imperial capital is in the north and is the capital, so unified heating is very effective. The temperature in the house is not too low, but the dry climate can drain any wet things in an instant.

On days like this, a copper pot is filled with steam. You can enjoy delicious food while heating and humidifying it. This mutton-shabu-shabu is simply a perfect match for the imperial capital, or how to say it is a local delicacy.

Today is New Year's Eve, which is not considered a holiday in the eyes of the old imperial capital. Everyone in the workplace got off work early today and everyone gathered together.

Wang Xu’s family was finally reunited.

The meeting between father and son was too simple. The first sentence:

"Why are you still so thin? Didn't I ask you to eat more? Are you short of money?"

Second sentence:

"I heard that you put in a lot of trouble, which is good."

The third sentence:

"My girlfriend is good, I heard."

Then, it was gone, and I went to the kitchen with a pocket full of side dishes to put on the plates.

If it weren't for the slightly raised corners of Wang Xu's father's mouth and the smile that couldn't be concealed at the corners of his eyes. Wang Xu thought he was just a tool, someone who specialized in telling lines.

Well, Dad Wang is actually a very boring person, and he doesn't like to talk. He is usually a boring gourd at home, and he can only talk to her mother for a while. Fortunately, his mother was a drummer and had a sharp tongue, so the family seemed more lively.

It is said, it is said that when Wang Xu's father chased her mother, he was very sharp-tongued. He made all kinds of jokes one after another, which even made my mother, a professional mouth trainer, lose her temper. Only then did she catch up with her mother. .

Uncle Li mentioned this inadvertently. Wang Xu had always been skeptical, but it was true that his parents had always been very close. After all, we get together less and stay apart more often, and we can only see each other once a week, and from time to time we can't see each other for ten days and a half months because of business trips.

However, the two of them are very tolerant. In this year and age, this situation is not bad, after all, they are still in the same city. There is an aunt in the alley next door. Her husband works in a third-line power station. He helped build it during the turmoil in the early years, but he has never been transferred back.

It really only took a few years to come back, so that when Wang Xu was a child, he always thought that their family was a single-parent family, with an old woman and three children who had not grown up.

Later I found out that their father was away from home all the time and would only come back every few years. If the grandparents didn't live nearby and could help take care of the children from time to time, this family would have a really hard time.

As the saying goes, we should not worry about scarcity but inequality. The difficulties in this era are universal, so many things can be taken lightly.

For example, when it comes to dividing houses, Uncle Li is one of the more unlucky ones. The last time he was assigned to a room, he was just in time to improve his level. He was at the bottom of the high-level room and couldn't be assigned. He is no longer qualified at the lower level.

As a result, both ends have not fallen apart. Now I am still living in a mixed courtyard. I don’t know when the next room will be divided.

Wang Xu knew that after that, the song and dance troupe never split rooms again. The distribution of houses among units has turned into raising funds to build houses. This is not just the case for one unit, but the policy of the entire imperial capital is about to change.

Many of the later so-called old and shabby small houses were distributed housing built by early units. There are no elevators, no supporting facilities, no parking spaces, and even poor electrical circuits. Many elderly people have lived in this kind of place their entire lives.

Of course, they have nothing to sympathize with. There shouldn’t be too many people worse off than them. In these days, don’t sympathize or pity yourself. You can always find someone even worse. There are a lot of people who don’t have enough to eat, so it’s boring to have a household registration in the imperial capital and you’re doing so badly.

Accompanied by the steaming heat, we chatted about the gossips of the neighbors. Most of these things were spread at this kind of dinner table. Especially the various gossips in the work unit, so-and-so was secretly exposed, so-and-so sold his house and went abroad, so-and-so sold his ancestral property and started a company, etc.

Good guy, Wang Xu didn't even have time to sigh. This amount of information was faster than browsing gossip websites.

Aunt Xia, Aunt Jiang, and Wang Xu's mother, the three middle-aged women are the main force, and Uncle Li is the supplement. He is not a low-ranking person, and from time to time he knows some details that others don't know.

As for Wang Xu's father, well, he just makes up the numbers. He only raises glasses to meet Uncle Li and Wang Xu from time to time, and then drinks and eats meat in silence.

Wang Fei and Luo Qi listened very happily. They ate hot-boiled mutton and listened to the gossip. They also chatted with each other from time to time to create a good atmosphere. After hearing something interesting, the two of them even toasted and clinked their glasses, acting like little sisters.

This is really strange. When did the two of them get so good? Wang Xu marveled at them.

Luo Qi's current situation is very good, except for performances and training, he stays at home. The weather has been cold recently, and Wang Xu's mother asked her to move to a small building, but she was still unhappy. Together, she and Li Yu decorated Wang Xu's room as a paradise for them. They would rather light the stove every day than live together.

Needless to say, Li Yu is one of the protagonists today. You can see her heroic appearance on TV for the first time at eight o'clock. This is a major event in life, or why did Uncle Li and the others agree so happily when Wang Xu said that everyone would celebrate the New Year together?

No one is as worried as Jinyi Yexing. When we are together, we all know the basics. No matter how we show off or show off, it will not appear too much. If you show off to outsiders today, it would seem too deliberate. In the words of later generations, it means that the cup is not round enough.

Tomorrow morning is the time for Aunt Jiang, Uncle Li, and Aunt Xia to prepare various cups. It's just a pain for Wang Xu's father and Wang Xu's mother that their son is not on TV. Although the behind the scenes is also important, no one knows that it is not the case, and they can't pretend even if they want to.

However, the things Wang Xu did in school were also mentioned by Wang Xu's father seemingly inadvertently. Except for the part involving confidentiality, it also shook everything up about Wang Xu's actions.

Looking at the surprised expressions of several old neighbors and Qing's mother, Wang Xu's father looked calm and relaxed.

"This kid, follow me, he loves to toss."

In fact, except for Wang Xu and his son, no one here could fully understand what Wang Xu had done, nor the actual value of these things, but they still expressed their surprise in a dignified manner.

There is no woman who can't act.

While the conversation was going on, Aunt Jiang suddenly turned to Wang Xu and asked:

"Xiao Xu, are you singing for us too? You said you wrote so many songs for your girlfriend, but why didn't you write one for your parents?"

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. This was not a nice thing to say, and Aunt Jiang didn't necessarily have any bad intentions, but her sudden words put Wang Xu in front.
