Peninsula Steel Love

Chapter 817 Introduction

“Bang.”

Starting from the afternoon, people in the community occasionally set off firecrackers. Luna was scared at first because Koreans never set off fireworks during the Spring Festival.

Unlike the Chinese who set off firecrackers to drive away the Nian monster during the Chinese New Year, the Korean custom is to drive away another evil monster on New Year’s Eve, the luminous ghost.

Legend has it that the luminous ghost will sneak into the house on New Year's Eve while people are staying up all night, and then steal everyone's shoes. The person whose shoes are stolen will have bad luck in the new year.

So everyone tried every possible way to drive away the luminous ghost. At first, they learned from the Chinese to set off firecrackers, but the luminous ghost was not afraid of firecrackers, so this method was useless.

Later, someone finally discovered the weakness of the luminous ghost. That guy liked to count, especially the holes on objects.

This was an easy problem to solve. From then on, every New Year’s Eve every household would throw things with holes, such as sieves, bamboo baskets or broken fishing nets, into the yard.

At night, the luminous ghost came. It was eager to break into the house and steal shoes, but when it saw the yard was full of things with eyes, it immediately couldn't move.

Oh my god, there are so many holes. Let me count them quickly. One times seven equals seven, two times seven equals forty-eight. It's Women's Day.

They kept counting like this, and before they knew it, it was daybreak. The luminous ghost was so scared when he saw the sun coming out that he ran away immediately and had no time to steal shoes, so everyone's shoes were saved.

Let's get back to the point. This was the first time in Luna's life that she spent New Year's Eve in China, and at Zhou Jing's home in Shanghai. This made her feel curious, a little restrained, and even shocked.

Why? The reason was simple. Firstly, among all the members of the Function Group, she had the least contact with Zhou Jing and was the least familiar with him. Secondly, the scene before her seemed beyond her imagination.

"Amber, is it okay for us to be like this?" Luna looked at the kitchen not far away with a sympathetic look on her face.

Don't blame her for thinking too much, it's really too unbelievable. The kitchen is busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Song Qian is helping, and the chef is actually Zhou Jing's father Zhou Dingfa.

Originally, Song Qian just wanted to find a decent restaurant to have New Year's Eve dinner with the members, but the assistant called around and got the same answer.

"I'm so sorry, all the seats for New Year's Eve in our restaurant were booked a month ago."

Well, it seems that there will be no ready-made meals to eat. In this case, Song Qian immediately decided to have the group go to Zhou Jing's house to celebrate the New Year. Crystal and Shirley live there anyway, so they can just take care of themselves and have enough food and clothing.

However, she never expected that after Zhou Dingfa learned about this from Shirley, he rushed to the Magic City early in the morning with a trunk full of various ingredients and New Year's goods, and has been busy since noon.

The old man’s intention was simple: the children were spending the New Year away from their families, so how could he let them cook the New Year’s Eve dinner by themselves? As an elder, he had no choice but to do so.

In addition, he asked Amber and others who tried to help to stay in the living room. If he hadn't insisted, he would have kicked Song Qian out of the kitchen.

"It's okay." Amber, who was watching TV, followed Luna's line of sight and glanced at the kitchen. "The last time Xueqiu and I went to Longcheng, Uncle Zhou made delicious food for us every day, hehe."

"Jinjia?" Luna felt more and more amazed.

Outsiders may not know, but she is very clear about Zhou Dingfa's identity. If he were in Korea, he would definitely be the chairman of a chaebol.

Luna has lived for more than 20 years and never dreamed that one day the chairman of a chaebol would wear an apron and cook for her. What a shame! Even Korean dramas don’t dare to portray it like this, so it feels unreal.

As she was sighing with emotion, the bedroom door suddenly opened and two figures jumped out. They ran straight to the front door to change their shoes and greeted Luna and the others.

"Amber, Luna, come on, come with us."

What happened? Amber and Luna looked at each other, but the next second they jumped up from the sofa like springs.

No matter what you do, it’s better than sitting at home watching TV. If there’s something lively going on, you must go and not miss it.

"Hey, where are you guys going?" Song Qian heard the noise and poked her head out of the kitchen and called out to the four of them.

"V-unnie, we're going out to buy some things and will be back soon." Sulli replied casually.

"Buying things? Now?" Song Qian was even more confused.

"Yes, unnie, I won't say any more to you. If it gets any later, they will have to close the stall and go home." This time it was Crystal who spoke up.

"Okay, then you guys go early and come back early so as not to delay."

"I know, I know."

With a bang, the girls rushed out of the door. Seeing this, Song Qian couldn't help but shake her head and curse inwardly, saying that they were really a worry to her.

"Xiao Song, are Zhenli and the others out?" Zhou Dingfa asked Song Qian while frying spring rolls in the kitchen.

"Yes, Uncle Zhou, they said they were going to buy something. It's almost dark and there are no shops open now." Song Qian grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Haha, as long as the children are happy, let them do whatever they want." Zhou Dingfa smiled but his expression soon became serious.

"Xiao Song, Xiujing Zhenli is not here, I want to ask you something."

Song Qian was startled when she heard this and quickly waved her hand and said, "I don't deserve your advice, Uncle Zhou, please feel free to ask me anything."

"Um"

The old man nodded and slowly stopped what he was doing, but he did not ask any questions right away and seemed quite hesitant.

"Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Song Qian was confused and didn't understand what Zhou Dingfa was thinking.

"It's okay, haha." Zhou Dingfa smiled with relief and then asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

"Xiao Song, you mentioned earlier that the deputy mayor of Shanghai and the head of Sangang knew Xiujing and the others. Can you tell me the details?" "No problem, that's what happened."

Song Qian began to truthfully describe the process of Tian Wenjun and Du Mingyuan meeting with the entire function group, and Zhou Dingfa's expression gradually became complicated as he listened, and finally he said slowly:

"Really? That leader is quite concerned about this kid, eh."

After that, he stopped talking and continued to fry the spring rolls. However, Song Qian could no longer calm down because she immediately understood Zhou Dingfa's true intention as soon as he made the request.

Why should we review the meeting with the leaders? Don't tell her that Zhou Dingfa didn't understand the official urging of marriage, which was almost straightforward? This is definitely a trick to convey some information through her.

Song Qian is in a dilemma. Crystal was raised by her. From the perspective of an eldest sister, she wants Crystal to be happy more than anyone else, even Jessica.

But she is also the captain of the Function Group. Dating is one thing, but as for marriage? Come on, that would be a disaster for the Function Group at this stage.

Therefore, Song Qian had no way to respond and could only remain silent. Unexpectedly, her reaction made Zhou Dingfa feel embarrassed.

"Well, Xiao Song, I just asked casually without any other intention, you don't have to take it to heart, hehe."

Little did she know that the old man's words made Song Qian even more conflicted. As a Chinese, she knew what it meant for the leader to urge her to get married. In other words, the pressure on Zhou Jing was much greater than that on Shuijing.

This was the real reason why Zhou Ding sighed. After working in state-owned enterprises for half his life and then wandering around in the business world, the old man naturally understood the subtext behind this.

Well, ask yourself, is your son's future important? Nonsense, any parent would give a positive answer, but Zhou Dingfa is different.

Song Qian had a feeling that the father in front of her seemed to care more about whether Zhou Jing was happy. Compared with that, nothing else mattered. This immediately resonated strongly with her.

When she resolutely gave up her dance career and pursued her dream in Korea, her parents must have been reluctant, but they said nothing and still supported her in pursuing her dream.

So many years have passed, and many of her former classmates and friends have married and had children. How could it be possible that her parents had no thoughts or expectations?

It’s just that they, like Zhou Dingfa, unconditionally support the child’s choice. When Song Qian thought of this, her eyes suddenly became red.

It is said that people miss their families more during every festive season, especially when the Chinese New Year is approaching. Song Qian's mind is full of her parents' loving smiles. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and her immersive memories were instantly broken by a burst of noise.

"OMG, my princess, can we put away all these?"

"If you can't finish setting off all the fireworks, try your best. Snowball said this might be the last year that fireworks are allowed in the Magic City area. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get it again."

"Xiujing, that's not what I said. Just now everyone in the owner group was talking about it, and so was I."

"Hey, that's enough, can you please stop blocking the door and make some room? I can hardly breathe."

What the hell is going on? Song Qian wiped her eyes, turned around and walked out of the kitchen. She didn't expect that even though she was mentally prepared for this group of unreliable sisters, she was still shocked.

"No, are you planning to blow up the building?" Song Qian looked at the fireworks and firecrackers on the ground with exclamation marks all over her face.

"Unnie, listen to me"

Shuijing took the lead and pulled Song Qian to show off, saying that there were rumors that fireworks would be banned next year, and a neighbor happened to claim that the nearby Metro parking lot was a fireworks sales point and so on.

In a word, if she hadn't led the team to shop wisely and decisively, we might have missed the final splendor. So, is it worthy of great praise? Our stinky Jing is waiting online.

Damn it! Song Qian was speechless when she saw this situation. The interesting thing was that before she could get angry, Zhou Dingfa came out of the kitchen and couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

"Wow, you bought so many fireworks, Xiujing, Zhenli, are you planning to set them off on the balcony?"

"How could that be? Let's go downstairs at midnight." Shirley was explaining complacently when she inadvertently noticed two sharp gazes.

That’s right, it’s Amber and Luna. They were the ones who carried the most and were the most tired. In the end, some people even said that they had to go downstairs when they put down the things.

So instead of moving the luggage now, they might as well throw it in the trunk. For a moment, both of them focused their attention on Crystal, because she was the instigator.

"This, that." Crystal looked around for a life-saving straw, and at this moment her cell phone rang.

So she hurriedly took out her cell phone and almost couldn't hold it in the next second because it clearly showed that the caller was her mother Li Jingshu, and it was a video call.

The ringing continued. Shui Jing turned her head to glance at Zhou Dingfa, then bit her lip and made a decision.

"Happy Chinese New Year, mom."

"Pabo, where are you?"

"Of course we eat New Year's Eve dinner at home, mom, let me introduce it to you."

"Aren't they Victoria and Amber? Why introduce them?"

"It's not them, wait a minute, uncle, this is my mom, my mom, this is Oppa's dad."

"???"
