There is a big difference between celebrating the New Year in the town and going back to the village.
There are more people in the town and it is more lively. Everyone's living standards have improved, and every household sets off fireworks as if to compete.
Li Manjun's family didn't buy any fireworks. They only bought fireworks sticks for their daughter to play with. They sat in front of the window and watched other people's fireworks. They were very satisfied.
This year's skit will also feature Uncle Benshan and Fan Wei. The two collaborated on the skit for the first time and it was a blockbuster.
The sketch "Uncle Niu's "Ti Gan" has changed from the previous warm style to a satire on corruption and corruption.
Li Dawei was so excited to watch it that he almost felt the same way.
Li Manjun and Zhao Yong just smiled and said nothing.
I have to say that you still have to dare to perform in the Spring Festival Gala in the past, unlike two thousand years later, when you perform a sketch, you have to have correct ideas, educate the audience, and make people feel uncomfortable.
The audience said that they are educated for 364 days every year, and only the Chinese New Year is left. When they should be relaxed and happy, they are educated by sketch programs. Can this Spring Festival Gala be a good one?
!
Before Li Manjun was reborn, he had not watched the Spring Festival Gala for several years. Occasionally, there were a few out-of-the-circle programs, and he would just watch them on other short video platforms.
At that time, people didn’t pay much attention to the programs of the Spring Festival Gala, because there were none good ones, and it was not as interesting as the local stations’ homemade Spring Festival Gala.
Now this feeling of the whole family sitting around a small TV, laughing and watching the Spring Festival Gala, is really good.
Every year I couldn't stay up until ten o'clock and started yawning.
Li Manjun asked her to take her to bed, but the villain refused and insisted on staying in the living room with the adults.
Zhao Yong motioned to her to hand the child over, hold it in his arms and continue watching TV.
Nian Nian was instantly satisfied and fell asleep.
Everyone slept late on New Year's Eve, and it's normal to stay late on New Year's Eve. The family cleaned up, had a simple lunch, and set off for Hongxing Village.
When I arrived at my hometown, it was quite lively again.
There were so many people calling for dinner that Li Manjun and Zhao Yong ate until their stomachs burst. The couple privately made up their mind that if they still have the same enthusiasm next year, they might as well wait until after the new year to come to the village to see the elderly.
Otherwise, who can withstand this way of eating?
On the second and third day of the lunar month, more and more people went back to their parents' homes, so the number of favors and social interactions decreased.
I was also afraid that everyone would come back on the fourth and fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and Li Manjun and his family would escape within two days of their stay at home.
Wang Xiaojuan, his wife and Li Lijun are still staying in their hometown. They are not in a hurry to leave. They rarely have free time and spend more time with the elderly in the countryside.
Maybe this person is getting older and has a much kinder heart. Mrs. Li and Old Man Li have changed a lot in the past few years. In the two years after Li Manjun was reborn, the two elders were very mean, even if they spoke harshly, they also behaved in various biased ways.
People feel uncomfortable.
But since Old Man Li broke his leg and came back from the hospital, he has magically changed his temper. He no longer cares about the big and small things at home. He eats and drinks as he should every day, teases his grandchildren in his spare time, and drinks a few sips of wine.
All relaxed a lot.
Mrs. Li still favors boys over girls, but she no longer dares to speak out as loudly as before.
Maybe it’s because the girls in the family have gone out to work hard on their own, and have the ability to be tough and do better than their brothers. If the girl who talks is not good enough, she won’t be able to say it out loud.
Wang Xiaojuan and Li Dawei never expected the old man to treat them well. As long as they could keep their mouths shut, they would be satisfied.
Therefore, I wanted to stay in my hometown for a few more days to spend time with the elderly.
When Li Manjun left, there was no car to pick them up. Li Daniu would have to drive a tractor to take them back to town, which was not very convenient.
"Why don't we buy a car for dad? It will be convenient for going to the countryside. During the New Year and holidays in the future, we won't have to squeeze into one car as a family." Zhao Yong suggested.
Li Manjun shook his head, "Goodbye. His boss doesn't even have a car. They are all acquaintances in the town. It's too high-profile."
In fact, Li Manjun wanted to buy a car for her father last year, but her father didn't allow her to buy it, so she couldn't say.
Thinking of this, Li Manjun thought of the satirical sketch in the Spring Festival Gala. It was indeed ironic, but human society is like this. Anyone who does not abide by the invisible rules will pay a heavy price.
Zhao Yong sighed, "How about buying a motorcycle head office?"
Li Manjun shook his head, but it still didn't work.
"It's okay. I'll think of a way. I'll definitely let our dad drive the car this year." Even if it's a motorcycle, as you get older and you don't get an upgrade, you have to make people's lives more comfortable.
Moreover, his father-in-law's character was not suitable for leadership, so he kept it like this and lived peacefully until retirement.
Li Manjun warned worriedly: "Don't mess around."
"Don't worry, you won't mess around, I'll use my brain." Zhao Yong said with a smile.
He didn't know why, but when he was with Li Manjun, he always felt like he was committing a crime when he did something.
Li Manjun laughed angrily at his excessive speculation, "I'm kindly reminding you not to make mistakes, I have no other intention."
Zhao Yong nodded: "I know."
Every year he shouts: “I have to drive every year!”
"Okay, daddy will also buy a car and a tricycle for every year."
Zhao Yong was serious. He saw other children riding children's tricycles, and the children were very happy.
Li Manjun smiled helplessly, "Just pamper her."
"Let's buy a red one." Zhao Yong discussed the color with his daughter.
I just met a few basic colors in Nian Nian, red, yellow, blue, green and white, which are the colors corresponding to the trash cans in Rongcheng. People know what color red is, so they nod and say, "Okay, red!"
The father and daughter talked very well. Li Manjun thought that Zhao Yong was teasing the child, and he might not remember it in two days.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the annual holiday was over and the store opened, Zhao Yong immediately went to the store and bought a children's tricycle.
I still felt that my family was too small to do my best, so I happily went downstairs to ride my bicycle with my daughter, who was extremely happy.
Li Manjun went downstairs and played with the two of them for half an hour. He couldn't stand the strong energy of the father and daughter, so he left first.
I mentioned before that I could donate my daughter's old clothes, and I just had free time today, so I reorganized the wardrobes of the adults and children at home.
I don't know if they wear smaller clothes every year, so she and Zhao Yong also clear out the old clothes they don't wear, and plan to select some suitable ones and donate them when the time comes.
Most of the clothes are discarded every year. There are several sets of native flower jackets made by my grandmother. They are basically worn out after two or three wears, so they are kept very new.
There are also some parent-child children's clothing from erry, which are very exquisite in workmanship. They are worn almost once, and Li Manjun feels a little painful.
It would be great if these clothes could be sold.
Just as he was thinking about it, the phone rang at home. Li Manjun put down the beautiful and new clothes in his hands and stood up to answer the phone.
"Li Manjun, you haven't gone back to work yet? No one answered the office phone calls."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that it was Shirley Chung who is a workaholic. Before taking her annual leave, she went back to the studio to work on the manuscript.
Li Manjun smiled bitterly and asked, "What are you doing? It's just the New Year and you have to find a job for me?"
Don't mention the spring conference to her. After attending it twice, she doesn't want to participate anymore. She just wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
