Chapter 326 Today is my birthday (1/4)

When he drove to the employee community, Ye Zishu saw that there were already many family members strolling in the community park with their children, which was much more popular than a few months ago.

It is now April, and the weather is gradually improving. At this time in the north, if there is no strong wind, the weather at this time is still relatively good.

The employees of Phoenix Technology Company come from all over the world, so the accents in the community are also from all over the world. In order to communicate, they have to speak Mandarin with a strong local accent, which is a characteristic of the community.

Ye Zishu slowly drove the car to the downstairs where he lived. After parking the car, he went straight to the floor he was on. Ye Zishu found that there were advertisements in the elevator.

He hadn't seen this during the Chinese New Year, but now he suddenly saw the elevator advertisement, and he felt like he had traveled back in time. In his previous life, there seemed to be advertisements everywhere around him, but it was rather unusual to have no advertisements.

In the lower right corner of the advertisement, I found a line of words that said Shengshi Advertising Company. I didn't expect Shengshi Advertising Company to develop advertising resources to this extent.

He has always emphasized media advertising before, although he also mentioned this advertising model, but according to the priority level, media advertising is undoubtedly more important.

Now that they have achieved this level of local advertising, it shows that they have achieved a certain level in the field of media advertising before they have the energy to do more advertising channels.

Ye Zishu arrived at the floor where his house was located. He wanted to go into his room to take a look. After all, he hadn't been here for so long, so he wondered if the inside had been covered with a thick layer of dust.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. I didn't live here for a few days. It's not so much a home as it is a temporary place to stay. Living alone is like this.

As the saying goes, there are people who have a home, and people who live alone, there is no real home, it is just a house to live in, the more empty the more lonely.

Knocking on the door of Pei Qing's house, Pei Qing opened the door, but there was no light inside, Ye Zishu asked, "Why don't you turn on the light?"

"Come and have a look." Pei Qing closed the door and walked towards the restaurant with Ye Zishu.

Turning the corner and coming to the restaurant, Ye Zishu saw the dining table with candles and the tableware that could be seen vaguely, Ye Zishu said with a smile: "Does every meal have to be so grand?"

"This is the first time I've invited you to dinner alone at home. Naturally, it should be more grand. Do you have any special feelings?" Pei Qing said with a smile.

Seeing the elated Pei Qing, Ye Zishu really wanted to say that he really didn't feel it,

If he can't experience such romance, it's better to have a real meal.

But he obviously couldn't say that, but he didn't want to go against his own heart, so he said: "The light is so dim, will you eat something on your nose?"

When Pei Qing heard Ye Zishu say this, she was very disappointed and said, "Okay, I'll turn on the light now!"

After seeing Pei Qing turn on the light, Ye Zishu asked, "Where did you learn this?"

"Isn't that how foreigner movies and TV dramas are performed?" Pei Qing said angrily.

"But what you serve here is Chinese food!" Pei Qing glanced at the food on the table and said with a smile.

"The main reason is that I'm not used to it, and I don't know what's so delicious about that steak." Pei Qing said very honestly.

"I also think, so, Chinese people have to use Chinese-style romance." Ye Zishu said.

"Then what is Chinese romance?" Pei Qing asked curiously.

Ye Zishu was suddenly stopped by Pei Qing. He really hadn't thought about this question carefully, because traditional Chinese culture is self-denial, and frivolous actions are not suitable.

Even husbands and wives have to pay attention to the same eyebrows, and the romance in Europe and the United States is actually to stimulate each other's hormones, so as to achieve a natural effect for doing certain things.

The superficial rituals brought about by the core of the two cultures are completely different, so in our culture, there seems to be no particularly famous romance about the romance between men and women.

If you have to say it, it is responsibility and oath. If you see each other right, it is a matter of a lifetime, which is fundamentally different from the frivolous sentimental view in the West.

"Does responsibility and loyalty count?" Ye Zishu asked.

Seeing Pei Qing thinking about this question, Ye Zishu continued: "The romance we pay attention to is long-lasting companionship, protecting each other for a lifetime, and if we can have children and grandchildren, a lifetime is enough."

"I didn't expect you to be quite traditional!" Pei Qing said with a smile.

Ye Zishu shrugged his shoulders and did not speak. In fact, he also felt that our ancestors lacked some innovation in romance, but there must be a reason for following the Zhou etiquette.

"Can we eat it? It won't taste good when it's cold." Ye Shu said.

Pei Qing didn't spend a lot of time to fill up a large table, in fact, there were only three dishes and one soup, which was about the same for two people, too little and it didn't look like a treat.

The dishes are also home-cooked, so it is easier to get the categories. After all, Pei Qing also has to go to work during the day, so this should be the meal she made after get off work.

"Then let's eat." Pei Qing said with a smile.

Pei Qing filled Ye Zishu with a bowl of rice, handed it in front of him, then filled a bowl herself, sat opposite Ye Zishu, and said, "I'm not a good cook, so I can only cook these home-cooked dishes. You just go ahead and eat."

"You think too highly of me, since I was a child, it's good enough to be able to eat this kind of food, so there's nothing to dislike.

Moreover, home-cooked food is more in line with my appetite. Restaurant food is okay to eat once or twice, but if you eat too much, it is not as delicious as home-cooked food. "Ye Zishu said with a smile.

Hearing what Ye Zishu said, Pei Qing looked happy, but she fell silent after a while, making Ye Zishu puzzled, and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

"It's not your problem, in fact today is my birthday!" Pei Qing said.

After Ye Zishu heard this, he originally wanted to ask her why she didn't spend the holidays with her family, but he swallowed it back when it came to his mouth. He remembered what happened during the Chinese New Year.

When people have no money, no matter outsiders or family members, they will not worry about it. Instead, they will live happily. Once someone gets rich, the situation will change quietly.

Like Ye Zishu's family, he has been in charge of his younger siblings since he was a child. Now that he has money, his younger siblings don't dare to stab him in front of him, and they are still obedient to him.

As for his parents, their mentality is still very positive. Regardless of whether their son has money or not, they will do what they can, and their mentality will not change much.

Although she is the only daughter in Pei Qing's family, she doesn't seem to be the only one favored by her parents. She may have had it when she was a child, but when she grows up, her parents' focus will still be on her son.

Especially when her daughter is earning so much money, this bias is even more obvious. Now that Pei Qing is not with her family on her birthday, it can be seen that the situation is even worse than before.

"You didn't say it earlier, or I would bring back a cake!" Ye Zishu said reproachfully.

"I'm also not used to Western-style cakes!" Pei Qing looked at Ye Zishu and said softly.

In fact, Ye Zishu does not pay much attention to birthdays. In rural areas, material conditions are limited, and birthdays are basically celebrated once every 10 years, and rarely once a year.

When Ye Zishu celebrates his birthday, his parents will prepare a whole chicken, which is the most delicious food in the world for rural children who have never seen much meat.

I remember that when I was 10 years old in my previous life, I could eat a three-pound native chicken in one meal, but when it was my 20th birthday, I couldn’t eat it anymore.

His parents in this life also prepared a whole stewed chicken for him when he celebrated his 10th birthday, but they no longer devoured it as in the previous life, and distributed a lot to his younger siblings.

With the continuous improvement of rural living conditions, birthdays are becoming more and more popular in rural areas, but this proportion is relatively low. After all, it is not so easy to change traditional concepts.

It is impossible for Ye Zishu to stew a whole chicken for Pei Qing right now, so he said, "I'll make a bowl of noodles for you birthday star!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Zishu stood up and went to the kitchen of Pei Qing's house. Pei Qing quickly stopped her and said, "My family doesn't prepare noodles. It's enough to have you with me."

This may be true. Pei Qing usually eats in the company cafeteria, and it's not too early to go home. As the president of a large group like her, she doesn't have much time to rest on weekends.

"Well, no matter what, birthdays should have a sense of ritual." Ye Zishu said.

Hearing what he said, Pei Qing said angrily: "There is no noodles at home, can you still conjure them?"

"Maybe it can be conjured up, you wait for me at home, I'll be back after going out for a while!" Ye Zishu said.
