As the days go by, the flavor of the New Year becomes stronger day by day!
Red lanterns hang high on the street lights on the main roads, LED screens in shopping malls play red and festive videos, various activities related to the Spring Festival are staged in turn, and promotions for buying new year goods are in full swing in supermarkets and stores.
However, big cities are getting emptier day by day, and the waiting halls at stations returning home are crowded. Trains and cars, carrying the joy and fatigue of migrant workers who have worked hard for a year, rush to their familiar hometowns.
Fortunately, college students like Jiang Shenrui who came back from other places to celebrate the New Year can somewhat fill the gap of migrant workers returning home during the Spring Festival in Beijing.
There are actually a lot of people living in the capital, or those from other places who have settled in the capital. With them here, such a big city will not seem too quiet and lonely during the Spring Festival.
"Dad, I've brushed this crayfish for you."
"Okay, open the two bottles of red wine on the shelf and pour them out to wake up. Let's drink some red wine tonight."
"Okay, will my brother and the others come over?"
"Come on, your cousin is going to be successful this year and is bringing his girlfriend back to celebrate the New Year! Why don't I make whole crayfish? Don't you young people like to eat it?"
"Okay! Dad, I thought you cooked so much during the Chinese New Year because I was at home, but it turns out it was because of my cousin?"
"That must be because of your cousin, or to be precise, it's because of your cousin's girlfriend. They are probably going to talk about marriage this year. Go get some wine. By the way, call and ask, has your mother come back from buying cooked food?"
In the kitchen of Jiang Shenrui's house, Jiang Shenrui finished chatting with his father and then walked out of the kitchen with a smile.
The person I was talking about just now was Jiang Shenrui's cousin Xia Haoming, who used to play in a band and later found a job in his class.
However, the encounters in life are really wonderful. Although Xia Haoming lost his personality and his rock music, he gradually stabilized by working hard. Not only did he get a promotion in his position, but he also negotiated a condition for his family to be happy in all aspects.
A very satisfied girlfriend.
Jiang Shenrui felt that he had almost everything going smoothly. In the middle of last year, he heard from his cousin that he had a girlfriend. During the Chinese New Year this year, they were already discussing the wedding schedule!
"Very good! Isn't life just such a cycle? Following the old path our fathers walked does not necessarily mean following the rules, and it does not necessarily mean that we cannot be happy!"
Jiang Shenrui, who also has a girlfriend, was drinking red wine in the living room, shaking his head and smiling as he thought about it.
In fact, Jiang Shenrui’s performance during the Spring Festival this year has also improved!
In the past, on New Year's Eve, just like the prince, he would lie down in his bedroom or sit on the sofa in the living room, reading a book, looking at his mobile phone, watching TV, and waiting for his family to call him to eat.
Help with cooking?
This kind of thing did not exist for Jiang Shenrui, a high school student who used to be a non-commercial student.
But after two years of college and a girlfriend, Jiang Shenrui has grown up quickly! Even though he is not yet that mature, he knows how to give and take care of others.
Therefore, when he came back from the holidays this year, Jiang Shenrui not only helped his family buy new year's goods and did hard work, but also actively helped his parents in the kitchen.
After a man reaches the age of 20, he can no longer act like a child!
Xia Haoming's family arrived soon! As soon as his aunt arrived, the kitchen became even more lively. Jiang Shenrui couldn't get involved, so he slipped back into the living room to watch TV and chat with his cousin and his girlfriend.
"I actually looked at my cousin's WeChat Moments and knew that my sister-in-law is very beautiful."
"Yes, my girlfriend is my senior sister."
"Okay! I'll take her to the capital later, and we'll have a meal together then."
Jiang Shenrui is also different from the one who used to be so shy when meeting girls that he didn't know how to speak. When facing his cousin's girlfriend, he was able to chat a few words for the first time.
"Sister-in-law, do you also like music?"
From the chat, Jiang Shenrui found out that his sister-in-law was also a music lover.
"You must like it, otherwise how did we get to know each other? Didn't a brother from my work team form a bureau before? We all went to have barbecue on the rooftop of his house. At that time, your sister-in-law was a friend of my brother's wife, and she was also called
We were playing together. After the barbecue, there was still the second half, and we went to KTV to sing. Then I sang "Sudden Self" and captured her!"
Xia Haoming said proudly.
"I'm not good at singing, but I just prefer listening to songs."
My sister-in-law covered her mouth and smiled.
""Sudden Self" is Teacher Yang's song! My sister-in-law also likes to listen to Teacher Yang's songs?"
Jiang Shenrui asked in surprise.
"I listen to a lot of mixed songs, but Yang Qian and Dai Yuni are my favorite singers in the past few years."
Sister-in-law explained.
"She also has a lot of records at home. The signed record by Teacher Yang that you gave me before, I changed hands and gave it to her!"
Xia Haoming said carelessly.
"Xiao Jiang, you are also very good. You actually know these celebrities. I heard your brother say, were you blessed by Yang Qian at a concert before your college entrance examination?"
My sister-in-law asked curiously.
"I am Teacher Yang and Master Ni, and they are Dai Yuni. They are old! We knew each other before they were famous. We went to Hecheng and heard him sing in Teacher Yang's hometown. So Teacher Yang is kinder to us.
It is difficult to buy concert tickets this year, so he also reserved some specially for our group."
Jiang Shenrui scratched his head.
"You were star-chasing in high school? How awesome!"
Sister-in-law gave a thumbs up.
"Yes, my brother was worried that it would be dangerous for me, a high school student, to travel so far by myself, so he went with me. Only when we got there did we find out that Dai Yuni had met them when she was playing in a band!
My brother also played in a band for a while."
Jiang Shenrui pointed at Xia Haoming.
Xia Haoming waved his hand and said that his past was not worth mentioning - mainly because he had no achievements.
"I know this. He likes to sing very much, and he still has bass and guitar at home. I think it's a pity that he doesn't continue singing."
said the sister-in-law.
"No, it's not a pity. I haven't done anything well in the band, and I'm just a musician, not the lead singer. Besides, if I had continued to play in the band, where would I have met you?"
Xia Haoming held hands with his girlfriend and looked at each other sweetly.
Fortunately, Jiang Shenrui is no longer single and does not need to eat their dog food.
He smiled, got up and turned on the TV.
It's not yet time for the Spring Festival Gala to start, but the pre-Spring Festival Gala pre-shows are already being aired.
"Hey, Teacher Yang is here too!"
Jiang Shenrui pointed at the TV in surprise and said to them.
Yes, there is not only Yang Qian on TV, but also Hao Qiang, and the faces of several well-known comedians.
"I heard that there is a very mysterious organization among you called the Dad Tiantuan, right?"
