In good conscience, when I was a child, I still liked the New Year, because I could get a lot of things that I couldn't normally get during the New Year.

For example, old clothes that my relatives' children older than me can't wear, they will give them to me to wear, although they are old, but at least they are not broken; Some of the neighbors' firecrackers will have some leftovers, so I can pick them up and play with them myself.

Of course, my favorite... It was also when relatives came to my house as guests.

It has nothing to do with the New Year's money, when I was a child, the New Year's money could not be directly taken away by my parents through my hands, which I don't think is anything, because I have no concept of money, and I usually don't spend money on food, clothing, and play, either picking up or giving away by others, so I won't force those New Year's money.

What's more, whenever the word 'money' is mentioned, my parents become extremely irritable, and I don't want to touch their moldy heads.

The reason why I like relatives to come to my house is because whenever relatives come, my father will allow me to eat with them.

Usually, when my father's drinking friends come to my house every day to drink, I am not allowed to serve at the table, and my mother and I are not allowed to do so, this is the 'rule'.

Because of the limited economic conditions of the family, there was no extra money after buying wine and snacks, and my father did not want his drinking friends to see how shabby my food and mother ate and felt ashamed of him, so my mother and I could only hide in the kitchen and eat pickles and steamed buns every day.

And every Chinese New Year, when relatives came to my house, my father would allow me to eat at the same table with him.

But my mother still can't, because she has to prepare meals for us at any time, and if the food is not enough, she has to go out and buy it quickly, and if the wine is not enough, she has to run to buy it, and whoever wants to eat the staple food must hurry up and prepare it, and if it is a little slow, my father will be furious.

Life has been like this for as long as I can remember, I'm used to it, and I think it's normal. So at that time, I didn't understand the ridicule in the eyes of my relatives, and I was more concerned about the cooked food on the table.

The meat, very fragrant meat, can only be eaten once when my relatives come to my house during the Chinese New Year.

But I didn't dare to eat more, because if I ate too fast, my father would beat me, scold me for being unproductive, and drive me away.

So I only dare to eat slowly, and it is good to eat slowly, I can eat a little more.

The focus of my memory is this, it has nothing to do with reunion, nothing to do with growth, but I can eat meat a few times, which is very satisfying.

So when I grew up, I realized that the word "Chinese New Year" seemed to be completely different to me and to other people.

Brother Chao mentioned many times during the chat, he didn't pay so much attention to the New Year as I did when he was a child, because his family's usual living standard was good, and the food during the New Year was higher than usual, that is, the frequency of eating dumplings was higher.

He said that he earns a lot of money every year, much more than his family usually gives him pocket money, and he can spend that money freely to buy all kinds of toys he likes.

According to Brother Chao, as long as they are not married and have a family in their hometown, they are considered 'children', so to this day, relatives still give him New Year's money when they go home for the Chinese New Year every year.

So he is the only one in our group who is looking forward to the New Year.

We have agreed that Xiaoxi will take Wang Yang back to her hometown for the New Year. Fortunately, Xiaoxi's hometown is not far from Binhai City, and it takes about three or four hours by long-distance bus to get there.

Brother Chao said that Xiaoxi had secretly explained Wang Yang's situation to her family in advance, her parents were very compassionate people, in order to take care of Wang Yang, they decided to lie this year, saying that their family had never eaten spicy, so even during the Chinese New Year, the diet was mainly light in all aspects. In this way, Wang Yang's physical condition can be taken care of, and she will not be found to have problems.

As for the Mei sisters and Chen Haobei, I don't know what the reason is, they are the same as me, they don't show much enthusiasm for going home for the New Year.

It is said that the snow scene in their hometown in winter is famous for its beauty throughout the country, and I even thought that if the conditions allowed, I would definitely go there for a winter and feel the heavy snow.

It's best to take Wang Yang with you... With Wang Yang, who is in good health.

But I was very confused by their attitude towards going home, in short, I think their attitude can be described by an expression, that is, 'smiling but not smiling'.

Probably about 'going home for the New Year', they also have their own worries, right?

Wang Yang's condition did not deteriorate, nor did it improve, I told Wang Yang according to what Dr. Song said, that the drugs prescribed to her were all chronic conditioning drugs, and she should always take them. Wang Yang didn't suspect it, and he has been in a much better mood recently, so his condition has remained very stable.

Wang Xiaohua didn't bring me breakfast again, and he didn't really quit his current job because of my words, he would send me some messages of unknown meaning from time to time, either polite words, or some chicken soup texts copied from the Internet, and sometimes even send some colorful middle-aged and elderly emojis, such as "May our friendship last forever" and "Cheers to our friendship", I was stunned when I showed it.

The neighbors in the community, who were originally hibernating, began to be busy again, everyone went in and out to buy all kinds of New Year's goods, and everyone was happy on their faces, all from the bottom of their hearts.

Except for the fact that our group of people has a secret about Wang Yang this year, everything seems to be the same as in previous years, no different.

"Bang Bang..."

I was sorting out my thoughts, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and I picked up my phone and looked at the time to know that it was Aunt Li who brought me food.

I opened the door and took the dumplings that Aunt Li gave me, looking at the dumplings, I suddenly remembered that Aunt Li was alone for the New Year, so I asked: "Aunt Li, it won't be long before the New Year, do you go to your children's side, or do they come to spend it with you?" ”

When Aunt Li heard my words, she replied to the question: "Oh, they are all good abroad, they are usually busy, it's good to be busy, it's good to be busy." ”

Looking at Aunt Li's meaning, it is estimated that her children will not come back to accompany her for the New Year.

Alas, such a good mother doesn't know how to cherish it, her children are really not a thing.

The dumplings smell very fragrant, and at the same time have a slight fishy smell of unknown details, and it seems that they are still filled with seafood.

If it weren't for the fact that I had to go home for the New Year, I really wanted to stay with Aunt Li for the New Year and spend it with her... It's going to look like a normal year, right?
