Except for the emotional impact on me from Yu Han's incident, everything is normal and happy during the winter vacation. Having a regular routine every day makes me feel refreshed and rosy, and I don't need to have any complicated skincare routines.

After more than half a month, the Lunar New Year is just around the corner. In the past time and space, I especially hated the New Year, because in my eyes, the so-called New Year is just a festival created by people out of thin air, all celebrations, reunions are more form than content, now is no longer the old era of lack of food and drink, there is no need to eat things that can be eaten every day, do it again, there is no need to deliberately see people who usually do not want to see again. Although my grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents' families are very harmonious, but I still don't have much common language with my uncles and aunts, even the children of my generation, because they don't live in a city, they have little contact, and they don't have much to talk about.

But this time, half a month before the Chinese New Year, I walked down the street with my mother, and I clearly realized that the atmosphere of the New Year ten years ago was much stronger than ten years later. At the beginning, there was no comparison, I don't know the difference, but now it seems that time has not only stolen the passing years, but also diluted the concentration of life.

A week before the Chinese New Year, my mother's unit didn't have too many things to deal with, so she went every three or five times, and was at home the rest of the time. So, I added "purchasing New Year's goods" to my daily task list, and I went in and out every day, following my mother to the street to shop. In fact, those things are often bought and eaten at home, but it doesn't seem like a thing to hoard some ingredients during the New Year.

As I walked down the street, I was really touched by the lively atmosphere, and maybe there were some things that I really had to wait to go back and do it all over again, so that I could feel the beauty and cherish it. My mother was occasionally surprised by my enthusiasm for shopping for New Year's goods during the winter vacation, and my father praised me for growing up. yes, I'm not going to grow up, I'm ten years older.

Sometimes in the dead of night, I also think about whether I still exist in another time and space, in what form I exist, and will I still accompany my parents to go shopping, eat, and be spoiled? I don't have a clue when I think about it. Sometimes I feel sad, sometimes I am afraid, I want to go back, but I am not willing to let the years of this time and space be quiet. Finally, I have to admit that I thought too much, in fact, I can go back if I want to, and if that happens, everything will be easy.

Our family's habit for the New Year is that on the twenty-ninth day of the New Year, my father will drive to pick up my grandparents who live in the next city, and the five of us will celebrate the New Year in Harbin. My grandparents' house and my grandparents' house are in the same city, so on the second day of the Lunar New Year, my father would drive my grandparents home first, and then take my mother and me to my grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings. In the following days, he also traveled to and from various relatives' houses until the evening of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. This year is also arranged.

Xu Zhekai's grandparents returned to Beijing from Hainan, but his parents had to wait until the day before the Chinese New Year to fly back from abroad, so Xu Zhekai first moved to live at his grandparents' house, which is the small base for our final review. Xu Zhekai smiled and told me that his grandfather found that there was a lot less tea in his collection, and he thought that Xu Zhekai drank it himself, and advised him not to drink too much tea.

A few days before the Chinese New Year, I started to help my mother clean, and my mother is usually clean and almost clean, so the house is always clean and tidy, so it is also very easy to clean.

Finally, on the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, my father set off early in the morning to pick up my grandparents, while my mother and I cleaned up at home and prepared lunch. When choosing food, I thought that in another time and space, it seems that I haven't spent the New Year with my grandparents for several years, and after joining the work, I will always go to a small town abroad with Yu Han to stay for half a month in the week before the New Year, and successfully miss the New Year at home. My parents knew that I was unwilling to face the questions of the seventh and eighth aunts for several years, so they did not force me to go back to my hometown with them. Yu Han's reasons are the same as mine. So, in those years, the meetings with grandparents and grandparents were basically in WeChat video calls. This time, I have to see my grandparents again, and I will see more relatives in the next few days, but fortunately I am a student now, otherwise, I really can't find a reason to run away again.

It was about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and my grandparents arrived. Grandpa has always had a habit of fitness, so his face is full of red light and he looks very good in physical condition. Grandma was a primary school Chinese teacher when she was young, and she was also my father's homeroom teacher, although she has been retired for decades, she can still feel the unique temperament of the homeroom teacher.

Naturally, the meeting was a variety of greetings, and my grandfather still kept the habit of asking me about my test scores, a habit that has not changed from the first grade of primary school to my graduate school graduation, and if he didn't ask today, I would have forgotten this thunderous link in another time and space. Our final results, a week after the exam, can be found on the school website, not bad, the overall score is the third in the department, there are a few good subjects also ranked first, this half semester of time and space panic, I am very satisfied with this result. Xu Zhekai is still the first in their department, and such a great god can only be matched by mediocre people like me.

During lunch, my grandmother talked about my second uncle's younger brother who was in love. The younger brother of the second uncle's family is called Shen Hang, one year younger than me, he just entered his freshman year this year, and his school is in Chengdu. Grandma said that she had taken her home to see her second uncle and second aunt two days ago, and the second aunt was not particularly satisfied, thinking that the girl was too squeamish, but Shen Hang liked it, and the mother and son were having an awkward relationship. Dad said, "When the child is older, make your own decisions." I can't stop it. Grandpa led me here and asked, "Is there nowhere to go?" I hurriedly said, "No, no!" Grandma smiled and said, "When the time comes, if our family goes to meet our parents, we will definitely be liked." ”

After the meal, after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, I texted Xu Zhekai, telling him that his grandparents were here and it was inconvenient to video, and also relayed to him what my grandmother praised me, asking him if I was the type his parents liked. Xu Zhekai replied, "My parents' criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law are based on you. "It's worthy of being my little poplar, and my emotional intelligence is high.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers shattered my sleepiness. In the past time and space, I have lived in Beijing for a long time, and I have forgotten the power of firecrackers.

I got up, washed up, put on the new sweater my mother gave me a few years ago, and I walked out of the bedroom to greet my grandparents and mom and dad. Although I don't like the New Year, I still have to have the etiquette that I should have.

After breakfast, it was still early for the reunion dinner in the afternoon, so I ran into the study and turned on the computer to video the sisters of 614. Of the sisters of 614, only Xiaoru is not online. Two days ago, she followed Jiang An to Qingdao and met her future father-in-law and mother-in-law, who were presenting courtesy and preparing a reunion dinner in front of her mother-in-law. Yu Han's grandparents and grandparents are gone, so they are a family of three during the Chinese New Year, and their parents are busy with work, so they don't need her. She and Li Ran were still in a state of cold war, so when they saw me online, they couldn't help but exclaim that there was finally a normal person to talk to. Liu Jia was on video with us at her grandfather's house at this time, surrounded by the noise of all her younger brothers and sisters, and she went offline without chatting a few words. After chatting with Yu Han for more than half an hour, she was called away by her mother to buy something.

I was bored wandering around the Internet, and Xu Zhekai was actually online. His grandfather didn't have a computer at home, so how could he surf the Internet in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Just as he was thinking about it, he sent a sentence, "My mom and dad are back, and I used their laptops and internet cards to come up." Is it convenient for video? "Convenient." After I finished typing these two words, I trotted to lock the door of the study from the inside, and quickly sat back in my seat to accept the video invitation sent by Xu Zhekai.

From his background, I guessed that he was supposed to be in the small bedroom of his grandparents' house. It can be seen that after the Chinese New Year, he also dressed up briefly and wore a red sweater, which was not rustic, but made him whiter.

"Yo! It's festive! There is a lack of a golden boy in the New Year's painting at the door of our house, you come! "I teased him about his red sweater.

"Okay, it's okay if the jade girl is you." He also smiled, "My grandmother bought it for me, saying that it was auspicious for the New Year." ”

"Then I wish my dear little poplar family a happy Year of the Rat! Good luck! "I'm serious about the New Year.

"Don't you want to be so official! Are you supposed to host the Spring Festival Gala? He couldn't help but laugh.

"You're not official, you have one, let me hear it!" I replied.

"I hope to be able to celebrate the New Year with you every year in the future." My "little poplar" said with a smile on the other side of the screen, and the smile was so warm and beautiful.

My heart pounded, I couldn't say anything, as if it had been melted away by his gentleness, and I could only smile and nod at the screen in response.

It's a good wish to celebrate the New Year together every year, but in that time and space, we have never really celebrated the New Year together face-to-face, and in that short period of more than two years, we have experienced two Chinese New Year's Eves, and we are just looking at each other through the camera as we are now. When we were together, we all thought that there would be countless opportunities to keep the New Year together in the future, but in the face of reality, imagination can only be imagination, and extravagant hopes can never come true.

There are guests at home, it is inconvenient to stay alone for too long, I am very happy to see Xu Zhekai on the New Year's Day, I turned off the computer after a few simple chats, and helped my mother and grandmother prepare the reunion dinner in the afternoon.

When I was preparing, my mother said that I had come back to cook a lot more than I had already planned, so I decided to make two more dishes that I was good at. After thinking about it, I decided to make a garlic vermicelli open-back shrimp and an open-screen Wuchang fish. Sure enough, my craftsmanship really amazed the two old men, and they couldn't stop praising me, and they sent me a "virtuous lady" award.

The Chinese New Year is to eat enough of the usual things one after another, and to show that you are very happy, which is really hard for everyone. After the reunion dinner, after chatting for a while, the family wrapped dumplings while watching the Spring Festival Gala. Looking at the faces on TV that I saw year after year, listening to those words of the announcer, I suddenly felt a little in a trance, several of these people have undergone various changes in the coming years, some have lost their reputations, and some have lost their lives. Seeing their radiant energy at this time, I suddenly felt unreal in my heart, and at the same time, I felt as if I was floating in this space, no longer existing.

Fortunately, the sound of firecrackers outside the window still brought me back to my senses, and each burst of firecrackers represented the start of a reunion dinner for a certain family. At eleven o'clock, my mother and grandmother cooked dumplings, and the family was not too hungry and ate a few symbolically. My grandparents are older, and I went to bed after eating dumplings. Before going back to the bedroom, my mother held my face and said with an affectionate smile, "I wish my baby a happy Year of the Rat!" "I hugged my mother for a long time.

After I took a shower, the time was close to zero o'clock, I stood by the bedroom window, looked at the lights of thousands of homes in the opposite building, listened to the sound of firecrackers from time to time, and silently thought, after half a year here, what will happen in the future?

When zero o'clock arrived, countless text messages were drilled into the mobile phone, one of which was Xu Zhekai's, he said, "There will always be good things happening at zero o'clock on New Year's Eve, the solar calendar and the lunar calendar are the same, love you, forever." ”

I smiled, thought for a while, and replied to him, "Thousands of miles together, I love you in any time and space, forever." ”
