In the busy, 2011 passed slowly.

Unlike previous New Year's Holidays, this year's Zhang family is destined to have a very busy New Year.

Zhang's father's plan is to go to all the relatives in the family, regardless of whether they are close or not, and they all come to see each other, because he knows that once the end comes, there may be no chance to see each other again in this life.

The amount of tasks is too large, Zhang Jian specially borrowed a small van from a friend, filled the back of the car with gifts every day, and took the family to visit relatives and friends non-stop.

"Dad, I'm so old, I don't know, our family used to have so many relatives, and many people haven't heard you mention it before?" On this day, on the way to relatives, Zhang Yu asked Zhang's father about the situation these days.

"Well, there are a lot of relatives of the older generation, when the old man is there, he still walks around a lot, and after the old man leaves, he basically doesn't move around much. Many young people nowadays are not like before, and they don't attach much importance to these relatives. Speaking of these, Zhang's father couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh, I see." Zhang Yu was a little speechless, if it was Zhang Yu herself, this kind of relative, she might not have come to the door at all.

When Father Zhang saw Zhang Yu's expression, he explained: "Hey, the people in the past are different from now!" Like the one I went to this morning, it was my uncle's house, when my uncle was young, he was very good to me, took care of me, helped me a lot, and later, when his children grew up, they had some skills, so they bought a house in the county and took him over, at that time, how enviable! ”

"However, his children are all working in the big city, and it is not easy to live there, and the life there is very stressful, and there is no energy to take care of the children, so he left the children in his hometown and let the elderly take care of them.

"His children, they don't come back often, so, all year round, I can't see each other, I haven't been in contact with each other, I don't know each other, and the feelings are naturally weak. Speaking of these, Zhang's father was a little sad.

"Hey! This old uncle of mine, after working hard all his life, worked hard to provide for his children, and finally let them have a chance, I remember when he moved to the city to live, that was happy, but now, even his own grave, no one goes to it! Zhang's father couldn't help but feel sad.

Hearing her father say this, Zhang Yu was a little at a loss, in the past, the family just let her concentrate on reading and not think about anything, so no one has ever told her about these things.

Hearing what Zhang's father said, Zhang Yu couldn't help but think of those people who live in big cities, such as several of his roommates, and then Chen Feng and his girlfriend, indeed, their feelings are really very weak, and most of what they think about all day long is themselves, their personal center is very strong, and they rarely think about others.

Speaking of which, now the country implements family planning, each family is only allowed to have one child, so these only children are born with tens of millions of pets, no brothers and sisters, naturally there is no need to share anything with others, everything is their own, and the consideration is always themselves, they have been accustomed to this since childhood.

The elders of the family also let them do this, thinking that this is the case, they grew up in this environment, so it is not surprising that they have grown up to become what they are today.

Zhang Yu has been in H City for three years, in this environment where everyone only cares about themselves, Zhang Yu feels that she has become more and more indifferent and ruthless, and now she rarely shows her emotions in school.

Zhang Yu doesn't like the living environment there, in the big city, most people are adhering to the life concept of "everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and everyone cares about the frost on the tiles", so the life there is not as beautiful as people imagine, everyone is in a hurry, and rarely stops to pay attention to others.

My father's uncle's children had lived there for so long, and Ken Yu had been assimilated and became one of them, and they were running around for life all day long, and they were in the mood to care for the poor relatives in the countryside who did not see each other much all year round.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh, most of the parents in the countryside wanted their children to squeeze into the big city, for them to study, find connections to let them go to key schools, and finally they entered the big city.

Since then, they have begun to separate each other, and since then, the contact between their children and their families has gradually decreased, and since then, parents have not been able to see their children for many years.

Are these results good or bad? Most people live in such a contradictory way, they can't say good or bad, they just continue to live like this.

Nowadays, many people struggle all their lives to be able to buy a house in the city, but they forget that they have a house in their hometown.

The house there still has its own yard, the style of a small cottage that many city people envy, and in that yard there are still parents who miss them.

It's a pity that they can't see these at all, they are blinded by the colorful colors of the big city, they just want to squeeze into it, become one of them, even if it is a small snail's house, they are willing to eat.

Originally, Zhang Yu was also wavering about his stay after graduation, but now the end is approaching, so this problem is no longer a problem. It's just that now when I hear my father's words, I can't help but feel a little emotional.

Human beings are indeed a combination of contradictions, and they are no exception.

While Zhang Yu was still immersed in his thoughts, Zhang Jian drove the car and came to the door of another relative's house. Zhang Yu has never been to this house before.

Suddenly, Zhang Yu was confused, he didn't understand what his father was doing these things so hesitantly, these relatives hadn't moved around for a long time, and now you suddenly came to the door and said a word, you want them to pay money and hoard supplies, will they really believe you, and then do it obediently?

Previous experience told Zhang Yu that the answer was no.

Zhang Yu walked into a relative's house with his parents a little blankly, and watched his father say hello to his relatives, and then, it was the same pretense that he mysteriously told them that the disaster was coming.

Then, Zhang Yu appeared on the stage and retold the excuses that he had said many times before, and the whole thing was completely like going through the motions.

Following Zhang's father to do this, at the beginning, Zhang Yu was still a little passionate, feeling that he was doing good deeds and saving his relatives, and he had a bit of a noble taste in it. So after going through so many times, now Zhang Yu is completely going through the motions.

Sometimes, she doesn't know what she's talking about, and she has to say it for a living, and although most of her relatives don't say anything, for Zhang Yu, who has improved her mental power a lot now and can slightly feel the mental fluctuations of ordinary people, their distrust is so clear.

Sometimes, Zhang Yu really hopes that her mental power is the same as that of ordinary people, in that case, she can still immerse herself in the illusion that she is saving others.

In this repetitive mechanical family visit, the New Year passed like this, and this New Year left Zhang Yu with deep exhaustion, and this exhaustion was not physical, but spiritual.

In such a short period of time, she has seen too many strangers (although they are relatives, Zhang Yuda has never seen them, and for each other, they are strangers), said too many words, felt too much distrust, and now, she is tired.

Previously, Zhang Yu had never experienced these things at all, and her family did protect him very well.

Zhang's father and Zhang's mother didn't let her anything in order to show Zhang Yu to study with peace of mind, the so-called no experience has no growth, so she was a little naïve and a little self-righteous and clever, just like in Zhu Ziqing's "Back", her son really felt that he was too smart at that time.

Now after experiencing this, Zhang Yu really felt the naivety and unreality he had before. There was a big gap between reality and imagination, and after all this, she felt very tired.
