The first Spring Festival after graduating from college is a little different from the past.
In the past, in the days after returning home during the winter vacation, everyone would catch up and show off how their parents treated them after returning home, or share the joy of returning home.
After graduation, the nearly one-month winter vacation for working students was reduced to only one week of annual vacation; students who continued to study were better off, and the long vacation was still valid, but they had to keep the joy to themselves.
Among Zhou Yan's classmates, only a handful can still enjoy long vacations after work: Zhao Ruijie, Lin Junfeng, He Qiulin, and Yang Haisheng.
Except for He Qiulin and Yang Haisheng, Zhao Ruijie and Lin Junfeng didn't know that they were working for Zhou Yan. After returning home from the annual vacation, they happily called Zhou Yan.
"Lao Zhou, among the New Year goods distributed by our company, the green tea and blueberry jam seem to be produced in your home!"
"Didn't you all see the green tea and blueberries I brought when you were in school?" Zhou Yan hid his face and smiled, "By the way, Lao Zhao, is it okay to chat at the end of the year?"
"Not bad!" Zhao Ruijie's modest smile was filled with pride, "By the way, Zuo Jiyun will get married on the eighth day of the first lunar month next year. I'll probably call you soon!"
"So hasty?" Zhou Yan smiled.
"Safety measures were not taken well..." Zhao Ruijie's husband said to Yin Dang, "We are busy at home, let's talk another day... Oh, by the way, how much do you want?"
"You and Lao Zuo are from the same province, and you still don't know?"
"The market price is one thousand. We have just graduated. Let's help each other..."
A few minutes after hanging up the phone with Zhao Ruijie, Zuo Jiyun called: "Lao Zhou, you must have heard about it from Zhao Rujie, right?"
Zhou Yan suppressed his laughter and pretended to be stupid and said, "What did you hear?"
"On the eighth day of the first lunar month, I'm getting married!"
"It's over now. Getting married is not a shameful thing!"
At this time, Zuo Jiyun finally reacted: "You..."
"Okay, classmate Lao Zuo, I will go there..."
Just after hanging up the phone, the phone rang again...
"It's really unsettling..." Zhou Yan glanced at his phone and found that the caller ID was Yan Wentao.
"Lao Zhou, Zuo Jiyun should have called you. Are you going?"
"Of course I have to go!"
"That's good..." Yan Wentao seemed to hesitate, "Well... forget it, let's talk about it then!"
Afterwards, Zhou Yan took the initiative to call Lin Junfeng.
"Zhou Yan, why did you remember to call me?"
"You've got nothing to do, why don't you make a call?" Zhou Yan joked with a smile, "I was so busy that I didn't have time to ask. Is Wuyang getting used to it?"
"It's not bad!" Lin Junfeng is an optimist, "Although there are many things to learn, I feel very fulfilled..."
As for Yu Hongliang, the little Guangxi boy in the dormitory, he changed his number after returning to his hometown. He didn't reply to emails and ignored Penguin messages. He could only be regarded as a "missing person".
Every year before and after winter vacation, high school students always make appointments in advance to organize class reunions.
However, after graduating from college, the "diversion" was serious. Most of the students went to work, and only a few continued to "study" with the textbooks.
Despite this, there are still people who like to organize parties, such as monitor Chen Feng, who entered the banking system after work.
In high school, Zhou Yan had casual acquaintances with many of his classmates, and monitor Chen was no exception. Therefore, it was Yu Zhifei who contacted Zhou Yan to attend the party.
"Old Zhou, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Chen Feng organized a party. Do you have time?"
"Who knows?" Zhou Yan smiled, "Lao Yu, the results of the postgraduate entrance examination will be out soon. How do you feel?"
"It's not bad!" Yu Zhifei was a little "modest", "If it weren't for the junior college to bachelor's degree, I would have just stayed in graduate school..."
After making a round of phone calls, it took nearly two hours. After hanging up the phone, I turned around and found my cousin Feng Xiaobei staring at me with envy on her face: "Brother, you have so many classmates!"
"That's it?" Zhou Yan smiled helplessly, "After graduating from high school, most of my high school classmates lost contact; after graduating from college, most of my college classmates lost contact..."
"That's better than me," Feng Xiaobei smiled, "By the way, I have been helping my family as an accountant for more than two years. The more I worked, the more I felt that it was a bit difficult. It's not because the family didn't have enough manpower..."
"Oh," Zhou Yan nodded, "I don't have enough professional knowledge."
Feng Xiaobei stared at Zhou Yan eagerly: "Is there any good solution?"
"Electronic University," Zhou Yan thought for a moment, "or open class videos online..."
"Brother, what do you think..."
"Logistics and business management," Zhou Yan thought for a while, then added, "You also need a little knowledge reserve in food engineering..."
"Ah, so many?" Feng Xiaobei, who was already a bit of a scumbag, was dumbfounded when Zhou Yan reported a long list of names.
"There are not many core courses. I will find some information for you later..."
Compared with Feng Xiaobei, cousin Li Jinling's problem is undoubtedly much more troublesome: making a short video to introduce an activity.
Of course, for veteran producer Zhou Yan, this is a piece of cake.
The core content of Zhou Yan's planning is still related to the New Year: the temple fair.
It is naturally impossible for a remote and remote place like Qingya to have a temple fair. However, the county next to Qing'an District is a thousand-year-old county. During the twelfth lunar month, a temple fair is organized every few days.
Temple fairs are similar to large fairs in rural areas, except that in addition to buying and selling and meeting friends, there is also an additional experience and fun.
Of course, the things at temple fairs are much richer than those at rural fairs, especially food and entertainment.
Zhou Yan chose a relatively large-scale temple fair in the west of Gu County, which was based on a well-known temple in the city.
As soon as Zhou Yan, his cousin and two cousins parked the car, they felt the strong New Year atmosphere.
Not far from where everyone parked, there was a stall selling "money trees": freshly cut green bamboo, paired with tinfoil-wrapped ingots, which were claimed to bring wealth.
Further inside, there are those selling windmills and wind-up toys: windmills are assembled from wooden poles, iron fists and colored paper strips; while on the wind-up toy stalls, the most popular ones are colorful frogs.
, jumping up and down.
Zhao Zixuan, who has been playing with Salted Egg Superman and Lego blocks in the city for two years, once had such a toy. Unfortunately, he was too young and curious...
Then, there are a large number of stalls selling after-work toys: bendable wooden snakes that can be wound up, colorful birds that can flap their wings; and classic rattles...
Continuing forward, there are snack stalls that are more popular with children: fried dough sticks, spread seeds, Jiao Ye, honey sandao, as well as the most popular sugar rice, rice cakes and candied haws.
Although Zhou Yan has passed the age of being greedy, he still bought some with his younger brothers and sisters to recall the taste of his childhood.
Eat while walking and enjoy the surrounding scenery.
Of course, as you walk toward the temple, the crowds get more crowded: people making wishes, asking for autographs, and hanging marriage locks.
At this time, Li Jinling finally realized what Zhou Yan said, an activity with a more humanistic flavor than a rural gathering...
During the filming, Li Jinling carried the DV throughout the whole process. Although there were people watching the fun, it also added a bit of reality to the short film.
This time's documentary is much shorter than last year's "Taste of the Year", and the production speed is naturally much faster.
It only took Zhou Yan three or four days to complete the editing, and then added Li Jinling's audio track...
