Chapter 97 Zhang Yanyan who took the initiative to attack
The Spring Festival, the first day of the Lunar New Year, is the real beginning of 2015 for Chinese people, even though it is already February 18th.
As the Spring Festival is the most important and solemn festival for Chinese people, everyone has their own way of celebrating it. For example, some places have the habit of keeping the New Year's Eve.
However, this was not the case in the Chaoshan area. Zhou Dongsheng rarely slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. The Chinese New Year is also a holiday where you can sleep in properly.
Even the habit of exercising is temporarily put aside. After all, during the Chinese New Year, exercising is just to stay healthy, not to become a muscular man.
Zhou Dongsheng also completely relaxed himself, washed up lazily, and walked downstairs slowly without thinking about anything.
After all, what serious things can people do during the Chinese New Year?
Every household has nothing to do. Apart from paying New Year greetings, playing cards and reminiscing about old times, and eating and drinking, there is basically nothing to do.
Arriving at the living room on the first floor, the old mother was eating melon seeds and watching TV. She glanced at Zhou Dongsheng and said, "Are you up? Let's have a bowl of Huaishan glutinous rice balls."
Zhou Dongsheng responded, walked into the kitchen and scooped out a bowl of Huaishan glutinous rice balls to cushion his stomach.
In the Chaoshan area, if you drink a bowl of New Year glutinous rice dumplings, something terrible will happen... You will become one year older.
So when I was a child, I would suddenly wonder, if I don’t drink this bowl of glutinous rice balls, I won’t grow up?
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng suddenly became happy, so what happened to his rebirth? He vomited out all the glutinous rice balls he had eaten before.
Just when Zhou Dongsheng was thinking wildly, Zhang Xuhui's voice came from outside the door.
"Happy New Year, Aunt Liu. I wish you a happy New Year. Dongsheng hasn't gotten up yet?"
"Here you are, sit down for a while." Zhou Dongsheng responded, swallowed the glutinous rice balls in his stomach, and said silently: I am 19 years old, so I walked out.
When I came to the living room, I saw Zhang Xuhui holding a red gift bag and greeting him with a smile on his face.
The red gift bag usually contains two cans of tea and a pair of oranges, which means "double good fortune". Under normal circumstances, no one will accept the gift. They just exchange a pair of oranges from home to seek good luck from each other.
In addition, if you have children, you will naturally have to give red envelopes. It is worth mentioning that in Chaoshan area, you can receive red envelopes before you get married.
This was also a big motivation for Zhou Dongsheng to pay New Year greetings in the past, especially those rich relatives, who would give out 200 yuan in red envelopes, and one or two thousand yuan for each New Year...
Rounding up is wealth freedom, as long as it is not confiscated by parents.
Liu Huaiying also smiled and took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Zhang Xuhui, "I wish Xuhui you will make a lot of money and fortune in the new year and marry a wife soon."
Zhang Xuhui was not polite and took it generously, joking: "Aunt Liu, if I make a lot of money, don't I think Dongsheng also makes a lot of money? Then I'll accept it."
"You all make a lot of money, the more you make, the better." Liu Huaiying also had a smile on her face.
Zhou Dongsheng is skilled in rinsing the tea sets. What else can he do besides drinking tea and chatting to pay New Year greetings?
Before I could finish two cups of tea, another person came to visit me to pay New Year greetings. This time, it was Aunt Zhang from next door who came with her children to pay New Year greetings. This was the first time.
After saying some auspicious words to each other, Liu Huaiying lost another red envelope.
Zhou Dongsheng looked at it with a smile. In the past, only the mother and son went to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings. Unexpectedly, things were different now, and people took the initiative to visit their homes to pay New Year's greetings.
"Brother Sheng, are you going to the class reunion? You didn't go last time, and this time there's nothing to do during the Chinese New Year except get together?" Zhang Xuhui asked casually.
Zhou Dongsheng took a sip of tea. It was true that he didn't have any fun during the Chinese New Year. He seemed to have nothing to do. He could go to the class reunion.
Although in my own memory, this class of classmates is already a thing of the past. After reaching the age of 30, it is normal to get married and have children, and some people get divorced.
But right now, everyone is still eighteen or nineteen years old and in their prime, not to mention that this feeling is still quite fresh.
And Zhou Dongsheng only remembered the information that Zhang Xuhui would be prosperous in the future, and he didn't have much other impressions.
After all, like some gossip news, it is basically forgotten after hearing it. Who can remember it?
"Whenever, if you have nothing to do, go and take a look. I haven't seen these old classmates for a long time." Zhou Dongsheng was suddenly very interested.
"One year is indeed a long time. Just tonight, I saw that the squad leader said that he would go to KTV and pay 100 yuan per person..." Zhang Xuhui said with a smile.
"That's pretty good, let's go and have a look at it tonight." Zhou Dongsheng said with interest. Anyway, we have nothing to do during the Chinese New Year, so we might as well have some fun.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Xuhui quickly got up and said goodbye. He had to go to a relative's house to pay New Year greetings. Then Aunt Zhang next door also left.
Unexpectedly, apart from these two people, there were still a few scattered relatives who came to pay New Year greetings. After sending off group after group of people, Liu Huaiying also expressed sincere emotion.
"Otherwise, it is said that Fu has distant relatives in the mountains. When we, mother and son, were having a hard time in the past, we never saw so many people." As he recalled the hardships and sweet memories, a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Then you have to get used to it. This kind of thing will become normal from now on." Zhou Dongsheng patted his old mother on the shoulder and said calmly.
This is the reality. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. There is nothing to say.
At night, after eating the "leftovers" of the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, the emperor used a golden hoe to hoe the ground.
Then, no matter how rich you are, don’t you have to eat leftovers from the New Year’s Eve dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
After tidying up, it’s time to go take a look at those old classmates.
…
On the other side, when the classmates learned about Zhou Dongsheng's participation in the class reunion, Zhang Yanyan also deliberately dressed up carefully.
Looking in the full-length mirror, she saw that her tall figure and slender legs looked particularly attractive wrapped in black stockings, paired with a dark gray pleated skirt and white shirt, and her long hair that she had straightened before the Chinese New Year.
Zhang Yanyan nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Yanyan, who thought he had figured out Zhou Dongsheng's aesthetic preferences, felt that his outfit would definitely make him look better.
Men chase women across a mountain, and women chase men across a veil. Zhang Yanyan often takes the initiative to chat with Zhou Dongsheng these days, but Zhou Dongsheng has always behaved mediocrely towards her.
Zhang Yanyan, who had a clear goal, was also secretly anxious. After knowing that Zhou Dongsheng would attend the class reunion, she felt that tonight might be a breakthrough to break the deadlock.
Zhang Yanyan didn't believe it. He took the initiative again and again, but he still couldn't defeat Zhou Dongsheng?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yanyan picked up his phone and took the initiative to send a message to Zhou Dongsheng.
"Dongsheng, can you come and pick me up? My electric car broke down." After sending the message, Zhang Yanyan waited for the reply with some anxiety, which felt extremely long.
"Okay, send me the address." Zhou Dongsheng, who had just left home, didn't think much about it. After all, he was celebrating the New Year and he was a classmate, so he couldn't refuse such a small request.
After receiving Zhou Dongsheng's affirmative reply, Zhang Yanyan beamed with joy, shouted "Yeah" and jumped up and down happily.
Then he quickly sent his home address to Zhou Dongsheng, immediately picked up his suit jacket, told his family and went out directly.
It was rare to make any progress, so Zhang Yanyan was ready to pursue the victory and went directly downstairs to wait so that Zhou Dongsheng could see her as soon as possible.
As for being reserved, for Zhang Yanyan, it was for show to suitors, but for Zhou Dongsheng... these two words had already been forgotten by her.
