"Alright Mom, stop bothering my brother. Besides, I'm not working overtime for free tomorrow night, I get overtime pay!"
"What company makes you work overtime on Mid-Autumn Festival!" Mother Su didn't understand, showing a slight disdain.
"Mom, our overtime pay is very high. When your daughter gets her salary at the end of the month, I'll buy you a new phone."
Su Tang appeased her mother.
She wasn't wrong, was she? Streaming on Mid-Autumn Festival was just overtime, right? The money earned was overtime pay, wasn't it?
There was no problem at all!
The overtime pay was really high!
"I don't need a new phone, what would I do with it? A phone is quite expensive. Keep the money you worked hard for yourself."
"Mm."
Su Tang didn't listen to her at all!
Su Tang said "okay, okay, yes, yes, yes" and chatted with her mom for a long time, and then...
Then, her mom got sleepy and if she didn't sleep, she wouldn't be able to wake up for work tomorrow, so she hung up the phone.
The warm, yellowish light in the bedroom illuminated the room, and without any voices, the entire bedroom returned to silence.
Su Tang snuggled in the warm quilt, thinking quietly.
The last time she went home, she saw her mom's phone screen was cracked, yet she was still reluctant to buy herself a new phone.
Her dad's phone was the same, with several cracks on the screen, making it look like a piece of art.
Over the years, her parents had been frugal, spending all their money on her and her brother.
For example, her tuition fees and living expenses for university; and occasional financial assistance when she was working a low-paying job after graduation.
For example, for her brother Su Mu, who got a job three years ago after graduation. The job location was a bit far from home, and driving was more convenient, so they contributed to the car loan.
When she was just born, JH had strict birth control policies. Her mother lost her formal job to have her, and only later found work in a private enterprise.
For so many years, both of them had done their best to support their children, unwilling to eat or drink well, and even the clothes they wore were bought years ago.
Su Tang thought that after she got paid, she would buy new phones for her dad and mom, and then see what else was suitable to buy and send back.
And her cute fans in the live stream room, she could hold a lottery, and the fans who won could leave their addresses, and she would prepare gifts and send them.
As she thought about it, her eyelids started to droop. Should she struggle a bit longer? Stay up a bit longer?
Forget it, let's sleep. She couldn't stay up any longer!
...
After a good night's sleep, she woke up in the morning and received WeChat messages from Yan Huang and Brother Qian Fan, both wishing her a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
The fan group was also full of Mid-Autumn Festival wishes.
Today, the company's operations staff were on holiday, and her art class teachers were also on holiday, so the classes she was supposed to attend were canceled.
In the morning, Su Tang planned to visit West Garden Temple. The vegetarian noodles there were said to be particularly delicious, and she had never tried them.
Many people came to West Garden Temple to pray on Mid-Autumn Festival.
Basically, everyone who came here would have a bowl of vegetarian noodles, so there was a long queue for them.
After petting the cat, Su Tang hurried to join the queue. After waiting for a long time, she finally got to eat the vegetarian noodles she had been craving.
How should I put it?
In terms of appearance, there was nothing to complain about. They were really photogenic.
After posting the photos on Moments, a bunch of people liked them. Yan Huang even asked if they were delicious.
That was really asking the right question!
The slightly sweet soup base had the unique taste of S City cuisine. The toppings were shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and fried gluten balls. The noodles were S-style alkaline noodles, giving the bowl of noodles a very unique texture.
If you say it's fragrant, it's fragrant!
If you ask if it's delicious?
As a northerner, Su Tang wasn't particularly fond of sweet noodles.
However, it was enough to have tried it. For young people, the main thing is the experience.
In the afternoon, she returned to her residence, tidied up, and washed some clothes.
She wasn't rushing to start streaming today because her fans at home said they wanted to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival event, which required streaming past midnight.
Many fan babies also wanted to spend Mid-Autumn Festival with their families and would only come online later.
When she ended her stream yesterday, she had already notified everyone that she would start streaming at 9 PM tonight and pinned the notice.
Thinking that she would be streaming quite late tonight, Su Tang took a nap in the afternoon.
When she woke up, although it was close to evening, the sky was still slightly bright.
Her mother told her to eat well even if she was celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival alone and not to mistreat herself. Su Tang was very obedient.
She had eaten the vegetarian noodles she wanted for lunch today, so she had to eat well tonight too. She specifically ordered takeout.
A portion of dumplings and a portion of spicy chicken.
The spicy chicken wasn't very authentic, but the dumplings were thoughtful, even coming with dumpling water. It was clear that it was a restaurant run by northerners. Northerners eating dumplings primarily value the original broth to aid digestion.
After eating, she tidied everything up and sat in her chair replying to a pile of Mid-Autumn Festival greetings.
Yan Huang and Brother Qian Fan both asked what she ate for dinner. Perhaps they felt lonely celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival alone, so they chatted with her for a while.
She also replied to WeChat messages from family, classmates, and friends one by one.
Perhaps it was because the Big Brothers were specifically considering her feelings and chatting with her, or perhaps because she had to start streaming soon and had things to do, but she didn't feel lonely at all.
At 9 PM, she put on some beautiful makeup and started her stream full of energy.
A song, 《Lotus Pond Moonlight》, was fitting for the season.
The live stream room quickly filled with viewers. As soon as she started, most of the fan babies had already entered.
【Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 】
【Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Tangtang! 】
【May the flowers be fragrant and the moon be round, and may we reunite. Wishing Tangtang a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 】
"May we all live long lives and share the beauty of the moon together, even if we are thousands of miles apart! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone too!"
【Same to you, same to you! I also drew a Mid-Autumn blind box and was just waiting for Tangtang to start streaming. Let's do the event, let's start! 】
【What's the situation now? 】
【Professional Stream Reporter: Currently, the first place in the Mid-Autumn event is Glimmering Peppermint. Her Big Brother spent over 200,000 on blind boxes this afternoon, getting nearly 170,000 worth of blind box gifts. He spent it all, and the current total on the leaderboard is over 390,000. 】
【Dimension Cutter: Second place, Chong Er, is very close behind, with 340,000 on the leaderboard. However, his Dragon Emperor is best at these events and his account is quite lucky. He's been drawing blind boxes non-stop, so he probably has a lot saved up. He's likely preparing to make a big push right before midnight. 】
【Yan Huang and Brother Qian Fan should also have a lot. Last night, after Tangtang ended her stream, I saw them both drawing blind boxes in the live stream room. 】
【And this afternoon, I also saw the headline about a big win. 】
【Sunny Doll Face: Tangtang Wife, me, me, me! I'm also super lucky, and I even got two Moon Laurel Palaces! 】
"Wow, then our Sunny Wife is amazing!"
【Yan Yuan: How do we start? 】
【Ce Pan Qian Fan: Let Tangtang start a PK to complete today's streaming tasks. Let's throw all the gifts except the Moon Laurel Palaces in advance. 】
【Before midnight, a quick push for the Moon Laurel Palace? 】
【Basically, everyone will be going for that! 】
【To be honest, I really don't know how many Moon Laurel Palaces Yan Huang and Big Brother Qian Fan have. 】
【This Mid-Autumn event is not just about financial strength, but also luck! 】
【What about A Chun's side? They lost big time! 】
【Her Shadow Emperor spent over a million, and only got about 200,000 worth of blind box gifts. 】
【The Big Brother was so angry he went offline. It's estimated her side won't be participating in this event tonight. 】
【Yan Yuan: Tangtang, start the PK. 】
【Let's go, let's go! 】
【Sunny Doll Face: Everyone, throw out the blind box gifts you have. If you have Moon Laurel Palaces, try to save them for the push before midnight. If you don't have time, it's okay to throw them out in advance. 】
Su Tang wanted to go out and pick a random target, and happened to see Yu Zi sending her a live link-up request.
"Brother Yu Zi sent me a PK request."
【Ce Pan Qian Fan: Oh? Yan Huang! 】
【Yan Yuan: Accept. 】
【Hahaha, I suspect Big Brother Qian Fan is subtly mocking Yan Huang, but I have no proof! 】
【Yu Zi is really good at eating. 】
【With Tangtang around, Yan Huang is basically online every day. When Tangtang ends her stream, Yan Huang goes to feed him. 】
【That's right, he's eating well! 】
As soon as the PK started, besides Su Tang, everyone else was male.
【Wow, this lobby is quite rare. Tangtang is the only highlight. 】
Still with that striking green hair, Yu Zi was dominating.
"Hello, we meet again, Sister Tangtang. Today I'll introduce you to some handsome guys!"
【Haha, Yu Zi, you don't want Yan Huang's votes anymore, do you? 】
【He's been eating well these past two days, his brain must be malfunctioning! 】
【He's introducing handsome guys to Tangtang? 】
