"Well, I'll go out first, Mom-"

"Hmm-Yucheng be careful on the road!"

"Okay...... ・Mom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Out of politeness and habit, Jiang Yucheng said hello to Aunt Han - and then he picked up his backpack and walked towards the door.

For Chinese, with the development of the economy and the acceleration of the pace of social life, many holidays have either become formalities or have become "long holidays" that simply stimulate the economy and promote the development of tourism. Only the New Year is a festival that has never changed its taste in the true sense of the word - for most Chinese, "New Year" can be said to be a traditional festival with the meaning of "festival" in the true sense of the word.

For Jiang Yucheng, the "New Year" used to be a happy day - but I don't know when it began, the year when Jiang Yucheng became a family has lost the meaning of the year. A few years ago, Jiang Yucheng's parents were rarely able to get together during the Chinese New Year - there was either only a father or a mother in the family, and there was even a year when neither of them was there...... At that time, Jiang Yucheng also felt sad and lonely about this—but now, Jiang Yucheng found that he was almost about to adapt to this situation......

Last year, my father had a rare New Year at home - and Aunt Han at that time did not need to go to work in other places as often as now, so Jiang Yucheng's family had a rare "reunion year" - although my father was divorced, the family was still family after all...... It's a pity that Jiang Yucheng's father is an expatriate cadre on a holiday in shifts, and last year he went home for the New Year, and this year it was the turn of others to go home and he stayed in South Sudan to look at the factory - as a result, this year, in addition to Jiang Yucheng, there were only two people in the family, Aunt Han and Shanshan.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, thanks to his cooking skills, Jiang Yucheng could still help make dumplings - the problem is that although they are nominally family, Jiang Yucheng and Aunt Han obviously do not have much common language to talk about. When my father was at home last year, my father and Aunt Han had known each other for almost 30 years, so naturally they would not fall into a cold situation. It's a pity that my father is not here this year, and Jiang Yucheng and Aunt Han are far from having so much to talk about - this year, the heating company has given a lot of heating, but the atmosphere at home is cold to death......

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, one of the reserved programs of the Chinese was the Spring Festival Gala held by CC** every year - Jiang Yucheng still clearly remembered that when he was a child, the Spring Festival Gala was still very attractive to him: at that time, the crosstalk sketches were not as boring as they are now, and they could still bring laughter to the people of the whole country, including his own family.

It's a pity that in recent years, the Spring Festival Gala has become less and less interesting, and even sitting in front of the TV to keep the New Year has become a sleepy job - although Jiang Yucheng will continue to watch the Spring Festival Gala these Chinese New Year's Eve nights, but this is not so much a pleasure as a habit...... However, although the year is not as good as the year, Jiang Yucheng feels that it is really necessary to continue to hold the Spring Festival Gala - in this way, everyone will sincerely feel that "last year's Spring Festival Gala was actually quite good". And with the rise of the scarf platform, all kinds of gods complain about the gods on the far right in an endless stream - a Spring Festival Gala full of slots, for the gods on the scarf, it can also be regarded as an important material for creating excellent language programs!

For Jiang Yucheng, the Spring Festival Gala has basically been reduced to a cold dish for the Chinese New Year's Eve - with it for the New Year, without it, there is also the New Year! For Shanshan's "no childhood" ("childhood" refers to the sketches of Zhao Lirong and Gong Hanlin, the crosstalk of Ma Ji, Jiang Kun and Feng Gong, and the famous high-pressure large-scale production of group comedy "Looking Back at the Nine" in 99), the meaning of the Spring Festival Gala is even thinner- So after eating dumplings at seven o'clock in the evening, Shanshan's home squatting instinct began to attack again, and her legs involuntarily wanted to bring her back into the "enchantment". However, if only Jiang Yucheng and Aunt Han were downstairs, the atmosphere would be too awkward - and if Jiang Yucheng also went back to his room, it would be too much for Aunt Han.

So, at Jiang Yucheng's request of half pleading and half commanding, Shanshan also stayed on the first floor - this is not entirely to give Jiang Yucheng face, as an elder brother Jiang Yucheng still knows how to use the relationship between mother and daughter to persuade the other party. Of course, if you just watch those hypnotic programs, Shanshan, a child, will definitely not be able to sit still - Jiang Yucheng moved his laptop over and propped it on the small table in front of the sofa: like CC**, station A and station B also have a "Spring Festival Gala" every year - station A is called "ACFun Spring Festival Gala", and station B is called "Bilibili New Year's Festival".

In contrast, Station A's "Spring Festival Gala" is indeed more like a real Spring Festival Gala - there are two real "hosts" at the beginning and middle of the program, AC Niang and TD Niang are responsible for reporting the show. And the "New Year's Festival" of Station B simply connects all the programs participating in the New Year's Festival.

Of course, whether it is the New Year's Festival or the Spring Festival Gala, for homestays like Jiang Yucheng and Shanshan, the attraction is very good - at least everyone speaks freely, which is much more vivid and lively than the CC** Spring Festival Gala that no one dares to say about their shortcomings and no one dares to laugh at their sore feet. Jiang Yucheng laughed when he saw it—and Shanshan's expressionless face seemed to have a smug smile on it.

So, Aunt Han watched her CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Yucheng and Han Yingshan watched their head of state, Yakexi, and Ge Pao engaged in Billy. At both ends of the sofa, the voices of ghosts and animals are heard, and the old and the dead do not interact with each other - everyone looks at each other, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, but it is all right.

However, whether it is a New Year's festival or a Spring Festival Gala, at most it can only provide entertainment activities on the day of the New Year - a reorganized family like Jiang Yucheng's family, there are basically no people who visit relatives and friends during the New Year. Although this saves Jiang Yucheng from facing the terrifying existence of "bear children", it also makes the silent New Year quite boring - many restaurants and malls are closed during the Chinese New Year, and even if they are still open, the opening hours will become very short. In other words, Jiang Yucheng had no choice but to stay at home and play games by himself.

If it was Shanshan, who usually stayed at home every day to paint, such a day would be nothing-after all, she was used to the life of squatting at home, and if it was Jiang Yucheng in high school, he would not feel very bored-at that time, he usually didn't have time to play games at all, so of course he had to use the time of the Chinese New Year to call back all the parts that were usually lacking in class. But what about Jiang Yucheng now, although he often laughs at himself as a "waste house" and squats at home, he still can't stand being stuffed at home for a long time - sure enough, he is just Ye Gong Haolong, and he is still far from a real master, such as the one upstairs!

Jiang Yucheng even felt that the seven-day holiday for the Chinese New Year was as difficult for him as an exam week - in addition to boredom, it was more lonely. At this time, most of the classmates and friends took advantage of the winter vacation to go back to their hometown for the New Year, Yu Baochen's father seemed to be the backbone of the family, and of course she had a lot of relatives to greet - even Xiaoqi on the other side of the door had left - just 3 days ago, that is, the day before Aunt Han returned, Xiaoqi went back to reunite with her family. Not only can the living not see one, but the partners who usually text and call and brag and fart are also silenced, and the newly bought kidney 6 is put there, and it will not ring for several days - but on the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it began to scream again:

"The Spring Festival is coming, greet the New Year as soon as possible: one worship the whole family, two worship less difficulties, three worship troubles, four worship do not grow old, five worship the filial piety of children, six worship happiness, seven worship sorrow and throw, eight worship high income, nine worship peace cover, ten worship joy, I wish you good luck in the Year of the Horse, all the best!"

"The red Spring Festival couplets are full of festivity, the red lanterns are hung high, the red firecrackers are singing good news, the red plum blossoms are renewed, the red year of the horse is unfolded totems, the red people are flushed, the red future is covered with gold and silver, and the red days are full of prosperity. Happy Chinese New Year!"

After reading such a text message, Jiang Yucheng only felt that his scalp was swollen, the roots of his teeth were sore, and he had the urge to hit his head against the wall.

"XX Insurance wishes you a happy family, good health, and all the best in the new year! XX Insurance Accident Insurance, 50 yuan for half a year! The compensation is the smoothest, and the compensation is the most generous!"

This is a sheep's head selling dog meat.

"The Year of the Ox blesses spring quietly, the sound of horses' hooves breaking, the old things are troubled, and the glory looks at the present. I wish my eldest brother and sister-in-law a safe and auspicious year!"

This is not clear that the recipient sent the wrong message.

"Chairman Mao, the great leader, taught us that New Year's greetings are not the preserve of the exploiting class, and that the working people can also engage in them -- red envelopes or something, they are very rotten! I can read text messages! You see Comrade Yu Baochen, she is a very good comrade, and she still thinks of everyone during the New Year, and sends a text message -- what kind of spirit is this? This is the spirit of internationalism, this is the spirit of communism! We should all learn from her spiritual ............."

This is what the innate gods will send......

I didn't see my friends before, I didn't see my sister later, and I thought about the coldness of my family, although Jiang Yucheng didn't cry, but I occasionally became sad - Yu Baochen didn't mention it, since that duel, although Xiaoqi has always mistakenly thought that Jiang Yucheng and Yu Baochen are a pair of CPs, but she is still as affectionate as ever with Jiang Yucheng and Shanshan.

Jiang Yucheng thought about it, and finally decided that the relationship between himself and Xiaoqi had almost returned to the time when they were often together in junior high school - when the holidays were not over, Jiang Yucheng would meet Xiaoqi almost every day. The two of them cook together, read and study together, code words together, and play games together - if Shanshan is brought along, outsiders will definitely mistake the three of them for a family of three...

However, the relationship on the surface has become closer, but Jiang Yucheng has an uncertain speculation: that is, Xiaoqi seems to be deliberately keeping a distance from himself. After all, they have been together for so long, and Jiang Yucheng has also vaguely expressed his affection for Xiaoqi many times, or some intention to further bring the relationship closer - sometimes it is made up after careful planning, and sometimes it is just a moment of cuteness. However, Xiaoqi will always dodge the balls she throws in various ways. The relationship between the two has long become "more than friends, but not enough lovers" - but it seems that they have never been able to take a step forward in the direction of lovers.

At the beginning, Jiang Yucheng thought that even if he kept a friend relationship for the time being, it was actually not bad - but during the Chinese New Year, Jiang Yucheng found that after leaving Xiaoqi, he felt so lonely... It seems that he really likes Xiaoqi - he should always come...... Jiang Yucheng thought so. After all, the image of the girl that Jiang Yucheng longs for is almost completely tailored to Xiao Qi's appearance - and if it is divided by type, after the estrangement of the past year, Xiao Qi, as a childhood sweetheart in the reunion department, was originally the type of combat power, which is so high that it is higher than the sky descending system. It's really normal for me to like Xiaoqi - it should be said that if you don't have feelings for Xiaoqi, you have to wonder if you are philosophical ♂.

All in all, spending the New Year alone made Jiang Yucheng feel very unhappy - today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, although Xiaoqi and other classmates and friends can't see each other for the time being, but at least, Yu Baochen is finally out of the busy entertainment now.

"My aunt gave me a Sheraton swimming card, do you want to go play together?"

Above the many New Year's greeting text messages that I was too lazy to read, such a new text message popped up - from Yu Baochen. Jiang Yucheng was extremely bored, and he didn't think much about it, so he replied:

"Okay, when?"

It turns out that Jiang Yucheng's city has recently been building new urban complexes like a wind, saying that it is to stimulate domestic demand and stimulate consumption -- and as a result, many five-star hotels have been opened. The newly opened Wanda Sheraton seems to have an ultra-luxurious swimming pool. Like a five-star hotel, the hall is very high-level, with a membership system - only members are allowed to enter, not just tickets. And it costs a full 20,000 yuan to get a membership card, and for Jiang Yucheng, spending 20,000 yuan to soak in water is right for this kind of person to have water in his head. Yu Baochen seemed to think so, but she didn't give up the opportunity to enjoy this legendary and particularly tall swimming pool.

Yu Baochen's aunt's family recently went on vacation to the south -- they won't be back until March, and Yu Baochen's aunt's previous membership card still has dozens of times left to use -- and by the end of February, the card's expiration date will have expired.

So, Yu Baochen's aunt gave this membership card to Yu Baochen - Jiang Yucheng also had the opportunity to get a glimpse of what the swimming pool of this legendary five-star hotel looks like. By the way, Jiang Yucheng decided to retract the preface - Yu Baochen's aunt is not a character with a brain in water, but a very good person, right!

Although there is still a while before the expected time, Jiang Yucheng has already involuntarily taken up the beautiful scenery of the swimming pool -- I wonder who else will swim there today, besides himself and Yu Baochen? The fierce characters in the Northeast bathhouse, who wear thick gold chains and draw tattoos -- when they soak in the water, the gold chains float up, and the tattoos are blurred -- will definitely not appear here, so will there be beauties in bikinis and cute Lori? As for Yu Baochen himself, Jiang Yucheng has gradually set a standard: if you expect too much from her, she will definitely disappoint you, and if you don't expect it, she can always bring you some surprises......

"Ah, by the way, Yucheng," Aunt Han seemed to suddenly think of something, "Mom asked you something...... ・”

Judging from Aunt Han's happy expression, it shouldn't be a bad thing - Jiang Yucheng relieved himself and replied:

"What's the matter, Mom?"

"You're ...... now. Have you disposed of it?"

Well...... ・・Yes, Aunt Han came back too late, and she didn't meet Xiaoqi at all, if she had seen Jiang Yucheng's intimacy with the neighbor girl, she would definitely not ask such a question this time.

Jiang Yucheng didn't think much about it, so he replied truthfully: "There is no ......"

Hearing Jiang Yucheng's answer, Aunt Han's expression immediately became eager to try-"Otherwise, I'll introduce a girl and let you know each other, how about it?"

"Ah......" Jiang Yucheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed -- is it possible, is this the legendary blind date? Jiang Yucheng herself is not in a hurry to get rid of the membership of the regiment, but Aunt Han, as a stepmother, sometimes has a little enthusiasm for salty and eating radishes. If it was Jiang Yucheng's biological mother, she would not be so anxious - but Aunt Han also seemed to be aware of the estrangement between herself and Jiang Yucheng, so she also wanted to put some effort into improving the relationship.

Jiang Yucheng is not very optimistic about this kind of girl introduced by the elders -- think about it, a man and a woman, who are not big or small, are brought in by their respective parents to "get to know each other," how embarrassing the scene must be! Jiang Yucheng still thinks that it is best to enhance mutual understanding in life, and then there is a foundation to speak of -- what kind of big deal can a big deal develop after having a meal, meeting a person, and exchanging mobile phone numbers? But then again, this is Aunt Han's intention after all, and if she refuses, Jiang Yucheng is afraid that she will be rude to Aunt Han............

Hi - Jiang Yucheng thought about it: It's not a bad thing after all, so just agree casually!

"Hmm...... Okay - thank you mom ......."

"It just so happens that the girl is in pretty good condition, and she looks like she is in good spirits—you've probably seen it before. Do you have any arrangements for the night after tomorrow?"

"Nothing ...... arrangement"

The classmates have all gone back to their respective homes, and Xiaoqi has not come back, and it doesn't take much time to code words just one day - Jiang Yucheng is very idle now.

"Then I'll tell the girl!" Aunt Han's smile was particularly bright, "The night after tomorrow at the Modern Western Restaurant, you know that place!"

Jiang Yucheng nodded—of course he knew, but he had never been in. The kind of century-old store, a place with a very high standard, is like a Sheraton swimming pool, and it is not something that you should patronize. All you can do is take a look at the exterior of the building and buy a popsicle at the nearby Modern Cold Drink Room.

All in all, Jiang Yucheng just thought about the blind date casually, and threw it straight to the back of his mind - after stuffing the swimsuit and goggles into his backpack, Jiang Yucheng went out.
