Capital City, suburbs.
In an ordinary-looking house in the suburbs.
On the chair beside the fire, an old man with white hair who looked to be in his eighties heard the phone ring and slowly put down the book in his hand.
He picked up the teapot on the stove and poured himself some tea while answering the phone.
A familiar greeting came from the other end of the phone." Hello? Elder Li, it's Little Zhang…How have you been recently? Is your body alright…"
"Yes, it's Little Zhang. I'm fine. Why are you calling me?”
On the other end of the phone, Director Zhang said humbly," Elder Li, look at what you're saying. Isn't it almost the new year? Let me give you a happy new year and send my regards…"
Hearing this, Old Man Li's expression did not change. He laughed a few times and said,
"Hahaha, you brat, are you really fine? Let me tell you, I'm already old. There are some things that I don't want to get involved in, especially in the entertainment industry…"
On the other end of the phone, after hearing Elder Li's words, Director Zhang's face tensed up. He quickly said," No, Elder Li, you've misunderstood. There is indeed one thing, but it's definitely not what you think…"
"Hmm? But Little Zhang, let me say this first. I'm old now and have already retired. There are some things that you know…"
When Director Zhang heard this, he didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately told Elder Li about Su Yun's situation truthfully. Among them, Director Zhang told the old leader about Su Yun's situation last night in great detail.
He also emphasized the difference between cultural customs and feudal superstitions. Elder Li listened without changing his expression. As he echoed, he was thinking about something.
"Okay, I can help you ask. If the situation is true, I will inform them…"
Elder Li hung up the phone and poured himself another cup of tea. Just as he was about to say something, Elder Li's wife spoke awkwardly.
"Old Li, what's the matter?"
Elder Li shook his head and didn't say anything. Instead, he called a man into the living room.
"Little Wang, come over here for a moment!"
Not long after, a man in a black suit and a headset walked in.
"Elder Li, what's the matter?" the man in black said.
" Hehe, Little Wang, help me check. There's a person called Su Yun. She's a small celebrity and recently participated in a variety show..."
When the man in black heard Old Man Li's words, he did not hesitate or ask any questions. He just nodded and left the living room.
Not long after, the man in black walked in with a laptop. The laptop was turned on. Other than the text on the screen, there was a photo of a young man at the top. It was Su Yun.
The man placed the laptop on Elder Li's desk, greeted him, and went out again.
Soon, Old Man Li saw Su Yun's past that had been criticized by the entire Internet. He also saw the live broadcast yesterday of killing pigs and then making candies. He could even explain to everyone the custom of sending the Kitchen God to heaven on the 23rd of December.
At first, when Old Man Li saw Su Yun's dark history, he could not help but frown. Was the current entertainment industry so bad? If this had happened in the past, he would have been executed long ago.
However, when Old Man Li saw everything Su Yun did in the live broadcast room, he became thoughtful again. Although Old Man Li was old and his body was old, his mind was not muddled.
This was also the reason why so many people came to look for him despite his age. After experiencing so many things, as someone who had experienced it, Old Man Li naturally realized that there might be some problems with the dirt on Su Yun that was mentioned on the Internet.
Moreover, older people had some feelings for traditional things.
After listening to Director Zhang's words, Elder Li was a little unhappy that he had labeled the matter of sending the Kitchen God to heaven as a "feudal superstition".
However, as a retired leader, he naturally wouldn't make any decisions so arbitrarily. However, he was interested in Su Yun.
Of course, after experiencing so much, Old Man Li would never believe that Su Yun's performance in the live broadcast room was his true side. After all, there were many times when he pretended to be in front of the public.
Moreover, Old Man Lee really did not know much about the internal entertainment industry. If he wanted to help Little Zhang, he had to see what kind of person Su Yun was.
If this Su Yun is really as Little Zhang said, not bad, then I'll naturally take action. If I find out that this Su Yun is just like what the Internet says, she's two-faced…
Elder Lee retired at home. Moreover, it was the new year, so there was rarely anything to disturb him. He suddenly had an idea. He wanted to see this young man who had previously been criticized by the entire Internet.
And what kind of young man could kill pigs and continue the customs of the past.
Coincidentally, Little Wang brought the computer over. When Old Li was young, he was a university student who had studied abroad. He was very familiar with computers. It was just that he was not very familiar with the live broadcast platform and other web pages that had developed with the times.
However, some young people had taught him how to use it in the name of integrating into his new life. Therefore, it did not take much effort for Old Man Li to open Su Yun's live broadcast room. His wife was also attracted to watch.
In the live broadcast room, Su Yun was currently choosing a new portrait of the Kitchen God.
Looking at Su Yun, who was fiddling with the stall, the photographer could not help but ask,"Su Yun, don't you have a portrait of the Kitchen King at home? Why did you buy it?"”
Hearing the photographer's words, Su Yun scratched her head helplessly, but she still said patiently,
"Big Brother, how can you say you want to buy it? Although we don't spread feudal superstitions, we still have to at least respect them. According to our folk customs, we can't say "buy" but "please" when it comes to portraits and statues of immortals.”
At this point, Su Yun suddenly paused before continuing,"
"As for why we asked for a new portrait of the Kitchen God, didn't we pay our respects to the Kitchen God today? In the evening, after the Kitchen God goes up to heaven, we'll pay our respects again and ask for the old portrait to come down.”
"When we're done with all this, we'll be able to sweep the house and clean up. This new portrait will have to be posted on the fourth day of the first lunar month.”
As she spoke, Su Yun picked up a portrait that she was very satisfied with. She said to the few photography brothers,
"This is it!"
As soon as he turned on the live broadcast, he heard Su Yun talk about the story of sending and receiving the Kitchen God.
Old Man Li's wife smiled and looked at Old Man Li beside her.
"This young man is not bad. He actually knows these old customs…"
