Chapter 135: New Year
With three days to go before the Chūn Festival, the joy of the New Year is already crowded into the snowy sky, and sometimes people on the street are seen hurrying home with large bags and small bags, and everyone has a smile on their faces.
Of course, there are also some people who are busy in order to be able to buy tickets to go home, and every time they get to the chūn festival, they can't help but go to the chūn luck, which is why everyone wants to go home and reunite with their families on this day, so it will make the train ticket home difficult to find, but this also makes many people make a lot of money.
There is a steamed bun shop near Lin Yu's home, the business is very good, and he queues up every day, and next to it is a train ticket sales point. Today, Lin Yu was queuing up to buy steamed buns to eat, and when he was about to get in line, he heard two men behind him say: "Dizzy, it turns out that this is a steamed bun shop, selling train tickets...... Ah, over there! Then I changed the line and started from the beginning.
At this time of year, some people always have no way to go home for the New Year, so they can only express their blessings through phone calls, text messages, or the Internet.
For Lin Yu, the Chinese New Year is to follow his parents everywhere to visit relatives and friends, running back and forth, remembering that someone once encountered, and the gifts he gave out returned to his hands after a round, which made people cry and laugh.
Children are always so happy to wear new clothes, regardless of the style and brand of the new clothes, as long as they are new, they will be happy, and they will feel that it is the best symbol of the New Year and the best clothes of the year. Even before the Chūn Festival, in order to receive relatives and friends to visit the New Year, people will clean the inside and outside of the house, and they will paste a chūn couplet on the door to pray for good luck. The traditional couplet is to write black sè or gold sè on red paper, what "wealth is extensive", "step by step", "wealth is full", anyway, they are all auspicious words.
By the time Chinese New Year's Eve arrives, there are few pedestrians running on the road, most of the people have returned home, and Chinese New Year's Eve is extremely important for people. On this day, people are ready to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year, and have a reunion dinner. The annual reunion dinner can fully show the mutual respect and love of family members. After the reunion dinner, the New Year's celebration begins. The most worthy of children's joy is not only to be able to wear new clothes and play with firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, but also to be able to receive New Year's money from adults, which can also be said to be a red envelope, because red sè symbolizes vitality, happiness and good luck. Adults give out red envelopes to underage juniors to show that they bring good luck and good luck to them. It doesn't matter how much money is in the red envelope, the main thing is to make the children happy, and its main meaning is in the red paper because it symbolizes good luck. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a reunion dinner, and watching chūn night became a habit for many Chinese people. Every year the chūn night is highly anticipated to meet the audience, but every year the chūn night receives criticism. People don't seem to have the joy of seeing chūn late anymore, so they always feel that chūn is not as good as a year late, and they can't find the feeling they used to have.
However, this has nothing to do with Lin Yu, when his parents were watching Chūn and calling one after another to greet the New Year, Lin Yu was still playing the ladder and playing Dota.
In the past few days, Lin Yu has registered a number of trumpets, and all of them have reached more than 1500 points and stopped playing. Now, Lin Yu's trumpet has been ranked from "Rookie 2" to "Rookie 7"
As for the final finals, the time has already come out, starting from the day of the tenth day of the new year, which lasted for a total of three days. And HS has also discussed gathering in Shanghai on the fifth day of the new year, or the Tianqiao Hotel last time, Lin Haifeng, Zhang Yifan and Wei Chen will also personally guide HS for three days, and then compete.
As soon as 0:00 arrived in the evening, Lin Yu's mobile phone began to ring non-stop, all of them were blessing text messages sent by friends, and many of the content was repeated, and it was estimated that it was also forwarded, Lin Yu also drew a gourd in the same way, and forwarded it back one by one.
Lin Yu also received text messages from Li Xiaolu and Wang Ying, and the text messages of the two were surprisingly consistent, only the four words "Happy New Year", and Lin Yu also replied to them.
"Lin Yu, it's not good! Hurry up and get out with me! Lin Yu's ears rang with Lin Haifeng's eager call.
"What's going on? Why all the fuss? Lin Yu put down the mobile phone in his hand, walked out of the door, and saw Lin Haifeng holding a fire extinguisher in one hand, handed one to Lin Yu, and pulled Lin Yu out.
"Uncle Zhang's house on the other side is on fire, hurry up and help put out the fire." Lin Haifeng explained as he walked.
"Firefighting?" Lin Yu was taken aback, this Uncle Zhang loved himself very much when he was a child, and it can be said that he watched Lin Yu grow up.
I rushed there to see, it turned out to be the chūn festival New Year's fireworks firecrackers, Uncle Zhang's house was on the first floor, the patio was piled up with some useless old newspapers and sundries, I don't know where the firecrackers that fell in lit those old newspapers, the people who passed by found a firelight, and hurriedly shouted to extinguish the fire.
But fortunately, it was found relatively early, it was still in the patio, not in Uncle Zhang's house, and Uncle Zhang quickly found a big bucket to fill it with water to extinguish the fire.
When Lin Yu and Lin Haifeng arrived, the two of them each held a fire extinguisher to put out the fire, and with the help of neighbors on the side, the fire was quickly controlled.
In the end, the fire was extinguished, and it was fortunate that nothing had been lost except for the miscellaneous items piled up in the patio and some old newspapers and magazines.
At this time, it was past zero o'clock, and it was already the first day of the Lunar New Year.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I came to fight the fire, which was a situation that I had never encountered, and the neighbors who came to Uncle Zhang's house all felt jubilant, and some people laughed and said, Uncle Zhang's burn is definitely going to make a fortune this year.
Uncle Zhang smiled and thanked the neighbors one by one, and when he saw Lin Haifeng and Lin Yu's father and son, he greeted the two of them kindly.
"Lin Yu, I heard that you are participating in some competition?" Uncle Zhang asked.
"Uncle Zhang, how do you know?" Lin Yu was a little surprised, how could even someone of Uncle Zhang's age know Dota.
"I also listened to what my grandson said, and my grandson told me what was said in the news, saying that you are in a team, participating in the competition, and you have to go to Shanghai." Uncle Zhang grabbed Lin Yu's hand as he spoke, "My grandson now treats you as an idol, chattering all day long, can you tell me what this competition is for?" ”
"This dota......" Lin Yu was stumped now, to introduce Dota to an elderly person like Uncle Zhang, this is even more difficult than letting Lin Yu use the Ice Girl for 20 minutes.
Lin Haifeng, who was on the side, saw that Lin Yu was very embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, does your grandson also play this game?" ”
As soon as he heard the mention of his grandson, Uncle Zhang sighed and said, "My grandson, he usually doesn't study well, he stays in front of the computer all day long and plays games, and his playthings are demoralized, do you say it?" After speaking, he took Lin Yu's hand and continued: "Lin Yu, you are playing, you must do what you need to do well, don't be like my grandson." ”
"Didn't your grandson hear that he did well in his studies?" Lin Haifeng asked.
Speaking of his grandson's academic performance, Uncle Zhang seemed to be a little proud, and said with a smile: "Hmph, if his grades weren't passable, his computer would have been dismantled a long time ago......"
"Grandpa, what do you say about me?" Out of the room came a teenager, a high school student, a little chubby, with a pair of glasses on his face.
"Yo, Xiaojie is here, I haven't seen him for a while, I seem to have gained a little weight again." Lin Haifeng greeted with a smile.
Zhang Jie hurriedly shouted Uncle Lin hello, and when he saw Lin Yu next to Lin Haifeng, his eyes immediately lit up, and he shouted at Lin Yu: "Brother Lin Yu, sign for me, you wait, I'll go back and get the pen." After saying that, he ran back like a gust of wind.
When Zhang Jie appeared in front of Lin Yu again, he was holding a signature pen and a large stack of things in his hand. Zhang Jie approached Lin Yu and found that this large stack of things was all about Dota posters.
"What are you doing here? So many have to be signed? Lin Yu was a little dumbfounded.
