Chapter 085 Returning Home for New Year
Tang Xiaosheng took out a birthday card from his bosom and handed it over, saying: "This is what your father asked me to give you."
Xiao Long Nu hesitated for a moment, took the card, looked at it, and didn't say anything.
"Long Er, actually Long Tianhao still cares about you quite a bit. After all, Long Xiaoxue is his biological daughter. Chinese New Year is approaching soon, why not give him a call?" Although there was some grudge between Tang Xiaosheng and Long Tianhao, he thought they should just discuss the matter at hand.
He slowed down and said, "Long'er, there's something else. Today is already the 24th of the last month, and in a week it will be New Year's Eve. After finishing the fan signing event at the company in two days, I plan to go home and visit my parents."
"Parents?" Little Dragon Girl's eyebrows slightly moved, and she asked faintly, "Guo Er, do you have parents too?" In the month she had been with Tang Xiao Sheng, he had never mentioned anything about his parents, leading her to secretly assume that he was also an orphan.
When she asked this, Tang Xiaosheng almost burst out laughing and teased: "I'm not Sun Wukong, I can't jump out of a stone, of course I have parents."
Tang Xiaosheng has already signed an actor contract with the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Hero", and the drama will start filming at the beginning of next year. At that time, he will definitely be very busy and won't have much free time, so he wants to go home for Chinese New Year to spend it with his parents.
It's been two years since he last returned home. In recent years, he has spent most of his time running errands and earning a meager income, barely scraping together a few thousand yuan per year. The round-trip fare for returning home costs over a thousand yuan, which seems like a waste of money to him. Moreover, every time he returns home empty-handed during the Spring Festival, he feels especially uncomfortable. Therefore, last year's Spring Festival was spent without returning home.
This year's situation is a bit different, Tang Xiaosheng has officially signed with Blue Sky Entertainment Agency today, and he already has 400,000 yuan in signing fees. It's also time for his parents to enjoy some comfort. He plans to use this money to renovate the old house at home after returning home this year, improve the living conditions of his family, and estimate that he will stay at home for about ten days or half a month.
By this time, Little Dragon Girl had already understood what Tang Xiang was going to say. She took the initiative and said: "Xiao'er, if you go home for New Year's, I'll accompany you back together."
Tang Xiaosheng gazed at her and said seriously, "Long'er, if you're not mentally prepared yet, don't force yourself. The matter of meeting your parents can be discussed over a long period of time, there's no need to rush."
Xiaolongnv is willing to go home with him to see his parents, and emotionally speaking, he is naturally very happy. However, the relationship between him and Xiaolongnv is really too weird, with too many variables, and he can't even predict what will happen to them in the future. As for whether or not to bring Xiaolongnv home to meet his parents, he has no idea either.
"Alright, I've been prepared for this. Anyway, wherever you go, I'll follow." Little Dragon Maiden's stance was quite firm.
Tang Xiaosheng fell silent for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, we'll go home together two days later."
"Hmm." Little Dragon Girl's delicate eyebrows curved slightly, and she paused for a moment before carefully asking, "Xiao'er, what are your parents like? Will they dislike me?"
At that time, when Yang Guo decided to be with Little Dragon Girl, he encountered opposition from Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Little Dragon Girl was still worried about meeting her elders, fearing things wouldn't go smoothly.
"Don't worry, Long'er, you're so gentle and virtuous, how could my parents not like you? Don't think nonsense." Tang Xiaosheng understood her thoughts and comforted her.
Xiao Long Nu seemed to still have some concerns: "Do I need to make some preparations? For example, buying gifts for your parents?"
Tang Xiaosheng shook his head: "No need, I'll buy whatever needs to be bought. Long'er just needs to dress himself up nicely and that's it. When the time comes, my parents will see me bringing a fairy as their daughter-in-law, they'll definitely be overjoyed."

In the following two days, Tang Xiaosheng packed his luggage on one hand and tried to buy train tickets back home on the other. Since Guo Yang was detained by the police, Guo Xiang could be said to have no one to rely on, so Tang Xiaosheng decided to bring her along with him to go back home for Chinese New Year.
On the third day, Blue Sky Entertainment Agency held a fan signing event for Tang Xiaosheng as scheduled. The event was held at the largest square in Jinghua City - Peace Square. In addition to issuing autographed photos of Tang Xiaosheng, there was another activity - fundraising and donation.
More than half a month ago, when in the detention center, Tang Xiaosheng had promised Hu Dajiang that once he was released from prison, he would help him raise medical expenses for his sick father. At that time, Tang Xiaosheng did so mainly to make Hu Dajiang give up his idea of escaping from prison.
As the saying goes, a gentleman's word is as good as gold. Since he had already made the promise, Tang Xiaosheng felt that he should strive to fulfill it, so he decided to take advantage of the fan signing event to call on everyone to donate money and help Hu Dajiang's father get through the difficult time.
Tang Xiaosheng's idea was allowed by the brokerage firm, after all, this is a public welfare undertaking, which has a very positive propaganda effect on the artist's personal image.
The fan signing event was more popular than expected, with over 5,000 people attending the scene, packing the entire Peace Square and even causing traffic congestion in nearby roads. Most of these people who arrived at the scene were ordinary citizens who had watched reports about Tang Xiaosheng in the past half month.
Seeing so many unfamiliar citizens coming to support him, Tang Xiaosheng was also deeply moved and felt the joy of being chased for the first time. What impressed him most was that dozens of elderly people from a nursing home heard that Tang Xiaosheng was holding a charity fundraising event at Peace Square, so they formed an old man's Yangge team and came to the scene to help out, making the scene lively.
Due to the large number of citizens on site and their enthusiasm, the signing session lasted from 7 am to 8 pm, a total of thirteen hours. Tang Xiaosheng sat at the event site signing for people all day long. He didn't know how many photos he had signed in total, but his arm was sore to the point where it almost couldn't move.
But all the efforts were still worth it, as the fundraising activity on that day had an unexpectedly good harvest. In just one day, 184,500 yuan was raised, and it is said to have broken a record for individual fundraising in Beijing. And this money was directly sent to the hospital where Hu Dajiang's father was.
After the event ended, many media outlets actively contacted Tang Xiaosheng and asked for personal interviews. Although there have been reports about Tang Xiaosheng for nearly half a month, most of them were side reports, with almost no positive reports.
In the eyes of the media, there are still many news stories and unsolved mysteries worth exploring about Tang Xiaosheng, including donations, the Xia Bai case, mental illness, acting, and Long Xiaoxue... The media all hope that Tang Xiaosheng can accept a solo interview to explain these issues. His brokerage company also hopes he will accept such an interview, as it is an easy way to boost his popularity.
In Táng Xiǎo Shēng's view, all these are already past events. He doesn't want to rehash old news, and ultimately refused all interview requests.
For him, the only important thing now is to take Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang back home for Chinese New Year.
