The New Year's bell is getting closer and closer. The sky of the Chinese New Year's Eve is always dim, and I don't know what happened to the Sun Gonggong, and at the end of the year, he will be sleepy, as if he had recovered from a serious illness, as decadent and gloomy, and the face of the whole sky is dull and colorless, and even the air is filled with a sigh.

Xiao Lai sat in the car in a daze. She didn't have any joy in the face of such a sky, let alone a little longing to go home. When I was a child, the New Year's scene was long gone. Her thoughts flew back to her childhood.

I remember that at that time, every household had to make their own New Year's utensils, such as red date cakes, bean paste buns, and candlesticks with candles.

Around the village where Xiao Lai's family lived, there was a large area of silt land. In winter, the frost freezes, and the silt is frozen into ice slag, planed, wrapped in frost layer by layer, and kneaded by hand, which is particularly sticky, and is very suitable for making all kinds of pottery, as well as mold utensils.

Every winter, during the winter vacation, Xiao Lai and his friends will go to the soil pit to dig up some silt and make all kinds of fun toys. They would make a rectangular candlestick out of clay, make a hole in it, and then take it home to dry, and when it was time for the Chinese New Year, they could put candles and place them in pairs in front of the idols.

Nowadays, people are more and more fond of ready-made things, and if they can do it, they will try to hand it over to others to do, and where they can save it, they will resolutely not do it themselves. The atmosphere of the New Year is becoming less and less, and there is no more peaceful festive cheer in the past, and now there is only a symbolic commemorative festival left.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone will sit in front of the TV and wait for the Spring Festival Gala to begin. And now, with the smoothness of the network, there is a lot less festive mood, everyone is no longer as active as in previous years, and now everyone has a mobile phone, and they are too lazy to click in to watch the live broadcast.

During the current Spring Festival holiday, the biggest change is people's mentality and coping methods. In the past, regardless of whether they had money or not, everyone would buy a complete set of New Year's goods and keep them for their relatives. And now, people no longer live the traditional days, but as a form of borrowing holiday gifts, the previous New Year is not very particular, now the New Year, there is no money in hand, I really dare not go out.

Looking at the fruit, flesh and vegetables in the New Year's market, people's attitude of only caring about the price has obviously tightened their money bags, although it is much more rational than the past consumption behavior, but it is also less humane.

His father picked up Xiao Lai on the road and returned home the same way. The two of them discussed the New Year's goods purchased at home, and the couplets that were pasted were all pasted, and the vegetables, snacks and meat they bought were also put in the refrigerator. The dumplings for the New Year have also been wrapped, just waiting to be cooked in the pot.

During the Spring Festival, even if you stay at home, you must be indispensable for melon seed candy. On the morning of the first day of the new year, the dolls will prepare a flower dress with a big pocket, and go door to door to greet the New Year, and the owners will stuff everyone with a big bag of melon seeds and candy.

When I was a child, I am now married and have a family, and I am embarrassed to go to the early New Year, the most popular thing at the moment is to lie in the quilt and grab red envelopes, and people will not go to the streets and alleys to buy sugar gourds on the first day of the new year.

Now that every village is connected to the road and every household is connected to the Internet, who will go to the streets of Shili Eight Villages to watch open-air movies? In front of the house and behind the house, there are cars and trucks, and no one will ride a bicycle and spend a day running to the city to visit the mall.

Xiao Lai returned to the house, put down his backpack, said hello to his mother, and went back to his room. When it was time to eat, Xiao Lai went to sleep without eating a few bites, these days, she is so tired.

Xiao Lai was not a diligent person originally, but now that she is older, she will not do some housework, and her parents will sometimes be dissatisfied with her because of these things.

Actually, she knew this herself, but when she came back to that environment, she was like a guest, sitting there, or lying there, or even fiddling with her piggy bank. It was the steel hammer she had kept for more than ten years, and at that time, she had specially exchanged the new coins for such a bunch of antiques at the shop opposite.

Before dawn, the sound of firecrackers outside "knocked" non-stop, if you want to sleep a lot, you can't sleep steadily, the sound of cannons can shake the glass window "clang", and the people in the house will quickly run to the courtyard, light candles, and start the new year.

In ancient times, this was called "five watches". Originating from an ancient legend, in order to drive away the year beasts, people began to set off firecrackers in the form of making movements, so that those year beasts did not dare to approach.

This custom has been followed until modern times. This method is becoming less and less suitable for the current environment, and many parents with young children at home do not like the sound of firecrackers, they think that the sound will frighten the children. Many people choose to concentrate on fireworks to reduce the time and scope of fireworks.

Xiao Lai wanted to sleep a little longer, but it didn't happen. She was woken up by her parents and dragged her around to pay New Year's greetings. Halfway through, Xiao Lai bought a few sugar gourds and went home.

She hasn't been out much for years, and now she is even more lazy to go. Originally, she wanted to go back to catch up with the manuscript after a week off, but she didn't expect that before three days, her mother began to "turn her face" with her, and she was too lazy to stay with her.

Walking on the road, Xiao Lai took a taxi and went back to the city. It's the Chinese New Year, and there's no one on the road. Xiao Lai bought some food, locked the door, and began her "home life".

Although she is used to being alone, she still hopes to meet a person of the opposite sex who makes her attractive and start a new life. "I hope that in the new year, I can meet my own Prince Charming!" In her diary, she made a wish to the empty room.

"2013 is over, 2014 is here again, and you still haven't shown up yet." Such an idea is really a rare persistence, for the so-called "digital superstition", 2013 and 2014, in Xiao Lai's consciousness, by her meaning "a lifetime, forever" meaning.

However, Rai is not very happy, because she has not yet met someone who can make her, or at least give her something to look forward to, appear. This period of "autism" really exercised her. After almost a week of writing, Xiao Lai really had a headache in writing, and began to find some good-looking TV series to change his brain.

She has two spiritual idols, the male is Zhilin, ** actor; The female is Kim Ha Na, South Korea's national actress. These two people can be said to be the soul characters who have accompanied her throughout her youth, and she has no reason to give up on them.

In Xiao Lai's world, in addition to Jin Ha Na, it is still Jin Ha Na, and other than that, there is only Zhilin left. When a person can't find hope in life, she really needs someone who can invisibly and silently cheer her up to stimulate her fighting spirit and find her own center of gravity. That's the power of idols.

From the first TV series that I fell in love with an idol, it was unstoppable. Xiao Lai has studied all the works of the goddess, including her every interview and show, almost every popular male god has cooperated with the goddess, the movies or TV series in which the goddess participated, rarely supporting roles, won all the local awards, rarely had scandals, such an excellent actress is really rare!

Xiao Lai worships the goddess, not only because of her works, but also because of an excellent work, which can teach a persistent person to let go of the grievances in his heart and learn to grow, which is a place for star chasers to learn.

And the male god Zhilin taught Xiaolai a lot of methods in life, making her realize that "a person should learn to live with a plain attitude, with a positive attitude, and keep pace with the times." ”

In the past few days, Xiao Lai has watched a TV series starring Zhilin in a row, "Fish Leaps in the Flowers". Although the play tells about the Japanese sushi cooking competition, what is even more rare is the humorous and open-minded spirit of the male god, which is very enlightening for Xiao Lai.

On this day, when she was trying to catch up with the article, QQ came in for a day's message, and when I opened it, there was a message added by a friend. Xiao Lai passed the other party's request, and soon the two of them chatted.

"In?" The other party came up and asked if she was there.

Knowingly asked, Xiao Lai replied, "Who are you?" ”

"It's me, don't you remember?"

Carefully flipped through his introduction, and almost didn't recognize it, it turned out to be him, Lao Sun.

"Why are you? Where is it now? ”

"Still in school." He's still so low-key.

"Congratulations, I finally got my wish!" Xiao Lai was happy for him.

"Where are you now?" The other party suddenly cared about Xiaolai's situation, which is really a bit rare!

"In my hometown!"

"Married?"

"Single!"

"What about you!"

"Nobody wants it!"

"How is that possible? There should be a lot of beautiful women in the school, why don't you find one? According to Xiao Lai's understanding, he should find one at school, and both of them will have mutual friends in the future.

She then asked, "Why do you only remember me now?" When he said this, Xiao Lai smiled a little embarrassedly. Obviously, he rejected the other party's kindness, and now he is questioning the other party in turn, which is really a bit unkind!

"You've been rejecting me, okay?" It turned out that he had known all along.

"I'm going to be busy, let's talk again when I have time!" She really had to rush the manuscript and didn't have time to continue like this.

"Alright then, I'll get back in touch tomorrow."

After saying that, Xiao Lai automatically became invisible. She didn't want to pay attention to things outside, and she only wanted to write her own articles. In such days, really only people like Xiaolai can do it, others like to get together to watch the excitement, but she doesn't, she just comes the other way, the more lively, the more she enjoys loneliness.

Zhenzhen is a stubborn person.
