Although Wei Jianrong and An Ziyang are cousins, his mother is much older than An Ziyang's father. In the past, there were ten children, and the difference between the eldest and the youngest sibling was twenty years old. Wei Jianrong's parents were in their forties when they gave birth to him, and his parents passed away a few years ago, and the above three elder brothers have all started a family. Now only he is the oldest in line, and he is still alone at the age of thirty. It is said that women are easy to marry, but men are difficult to marry, and this is especially true for him in this small city.

Coral had heard An Ziyang talk about this cousin, and only said that he "has enough to eat, and the whole family is not hungry", and he has no in-laws to support, so the young couple can live their own small lives.

Wei Jianrong has the strength to do manual work, he was born as a mason, often works on nearby construction sites, and specializes in dealing with reinforced concrete. The contractor on the construction site is Wei Jianrong's cousin, who has been working on external projects all year round. As long as Wei Jianrong is willing to work, there will be things to do all year round, and the salary is never less than that of white-collar workers. However, Wei Jianrong's vision is not very ambitious, because he has no worries and no burdens, he often works for a while and rests for a while. When he has no money to spend, he goes to pick up some work, and after making a fortune, he comes back to continue eating and drinking, and he lives a leisurely life. Someone made him a matchmaker and introduced a few girls, but the girls avoided him when they saw his state of life. Although Wei Jianrong is decadent and laissez-faire on weekdays, he is extremely kind-hearted, and many neighbors have received help from him. An Ziyang felt that as long as he became a family, he would have the motivation and responsibility to change the status quo, and maybe he would work hard to build a family.

Wei Jianrong walked straight to the west, and An Ziyang and Coral followed him to a narrow path next to the kitchen. The corridor was darkly lit, and they were groping their way forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

"It's too inconvenient for you guys to design here!" An Ziyang complained.

"Maybe I'm used to it, I don't think anything, you guys slow down, I'll go to the front and turn on the lights." Wei Jianrong passed through this road every day when he went up and down the stairs, and he was all too familiar with it, and during the day, the path could lead to the stairwell leading to the second floor through the light reflected by the small windows in the wall. It's just that at night, you need to turn on the lights next to the stairs to walk.

When they went up to the living room on the second floor, the coffee table was already full of melons, fruits and snacks, and the food was not expensive and exquisite, but it was their local New Year's specialty, and they were their favorites when they visited the door.

"Coral, try our specialties here, I don't know how to buy them, see if there is anything you like?" Wei Jianrong said to Coral with a simple smile.

"This, we buy it every year to entertain relatives and friends, give!" An Ziyang handed Coral a individually wrapped green plum.

When I took a bite of the coral, it felt very crisp and sweet, and I ate two more in a row.

An Ziyang recommended a few more corals according to his preferences.

"Will you buy this for the Chinese New Year to entertain guests? We don't have this custom, but we still have dinner. Coral asked An Ziyang, and then picked up a toothpick and inserted a spicy dried tofu stained with white sesame seeds.

"This year, let you feel the atmosphere and local customs of our New Year, it will be very lively, Brother Jian, you will be the guide and be responsible for the commentary, okay?" An Ziyang looked at the coral and then at Wei Jianrong.

"Hehe, no problem!" Wei Jianrong's face flushed, and he grinned happily.

"This is delicious! It's fragrant but not spicy, and it's chewy. Coral said as he stared at the spicy tofu with glowing eyes.

Wei Jianrong thoughtfully put a plate of spicy dried tofu on the table near Coral, Coral was embarrassed, An Ziyang looked at them silently and smiled slightly. While the three of them were eating snacks, An Ziyang asked some about Wei Jianrong's daily life, and introduced coral, so the afternoon slipped away in the chat.

In the evening, Wei Jianrong got up and went to the first floor to prepare dinner. An Ziyang took advantage of Jianrong's absence to secretly visit his bedroom. They found signs of hastily tidying up the room, and he stuffed all the bits and pieces into the clip cabinet on the headboard, and they gloated as if they had found a treasure. An Ziyang complained that his cousin was sloppy and didn't like to be clean, and suddenly remembered his identity, so he laughed and hurriedly justified his cousin. Wei Jianrong, who had never entertained guests, quickly prepared a sumptuous meal.

"Brother Jian, you're a bit level! I told Coral to get ready to eat outside! ”

An Ziyang smiled and squinted unexpectedly, this is the conclusion she came to after trying a piece of fish and drinking chicken soup.

"Didn't steal a teacher and didn't learn art?" Since it completely exceeded An Ziyang's expectations, she asked suspiciously.

"I didn't steal a teacher or learn an art, I just imagined how to make it delicious." Wei Jianrong told the truth.

"That way you can actually make a chef's style, it seems that you really have a knack for cooking!"

"It's really delicious, the color and flavor are good, what should I do if I want to eat fat?" Coral also boasted that she was not reserved at all when it came to eating, and the afternoon snacks did not stop, as if they did not affect her appetite at all.

"You praise me so much that I don't know what to say, I've never had a guest, and today ...... Okay, huh? Hehehe! Wei Jianrong likes to smile innocently.

At dinner, the sky was a little dark, and when they came out of Wei Jianrong's house after eating, the night was already dark. After walking for about 20 minutes, a large number of red-roofed houses appeared on the side of the street, and the second of the first row was An Ziyang's home. An Ziyang's house also has a large courtyard, and a few dead branches prominently poke their heads out of the courtyard and reach out to the lamp pole in the corner of the street. Wei Jianrong watched them enter the house and turned around and walked back, and in ten minutes, he returned home.

"Sango, how do you feel about my cousin today, it doesn't hurt to say anything straight." An Ziyang laid out the sheets and quilt covers and prepared to sleep.

"Well, people are quite honest, they talk about everything, and they don't play any tricks."

"Yes, my brother just doesn't talk much, usually he only takes one sentence after you say a sentence, and today I talk to you a lot! This is his biggest shortcoming, but he knows it in his heart like a mirror, and he belongs to the practical type, hehehe. ”

"Hehehe."

"Do you think that means anything to him? It's still not a problem for him to make money, you urge him to definitely do well, and it's also surprising that he can cook, I did not know until today, and it was also stained with your light, which is a big plus, don't you say? ”

"Hehe, I can eat all the food he cooks, but fortunately I came back for a walk."

"And what do you think?"

"I ...... Let's get in touch with it a little more, I'm quite relaxed with him today, I feel okay, and I'll continue to understand tomorrow. ”

Sango felt that it was very necessary for the two of them to be alone for a while, so that it was easy to find each other's strengths and weaknesses from the details. After the lesson of blood, she must not repeat the mistakes of the past this time. Coral knew that she had no feelings for Wei Jianrong, and she knew it at first sight. His ordinariness and boredom, his simplicity and dullness, his vulgarity in the market, all of these were expected by her. But she didn't want to step on the minefield anymore, she didn't want to be so tired of loving anymore, and she didn't want to be ignored, she decided to enjoy the taste of being loved and spoiled. And she has to make a decision in a short time, whether to marry an old man in her hometown town and keep the family, or marry an honest man in this fast-growing urban area to live a small life that only belongs to the two of them. She desperately wants to understand the whole of Wei Jianrong, who is redeemed or destroyed, and he becomes the key.

"Good! You said, I'll send you over early tomorrow morning, you talk alone, he just sent a message saying that I want to take you to breakfast, which shows how desperate he is to see you. ”

At noon on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, his parents asked An Ziyang to call Wei Jianrong and Coral from home for the New Year. An Ziyang felt that there were too many people in the family and his brother's family, so it was better to accompany them by himself. In the afternoon, An Ziyang went to his cousin's residence and brought the Chinese New Year's Eve dishes prepared by his mother. The three of them were busy pasting couplet chandeliers inside and outside the house, and hanging ribbon decorative lamps in the courtyard. Soon, he moved to the kitchen to fiddle with pots and pans, prepare meals, snacks, and drinks, and was very busy. At dusk, the whole house is hung with lights, and the fire trees in the courtyard are sparkling.

After a long Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they slowly walked to the already lively and jubilant streets. A little later, more crowds poured in from all directions to welcome the New Year's bells and people entered the countdown to the wait. The largest and most concentrated waiting area is located in front of an iconic sculpture square in the east of the city, which is the main venue for the usual city-level events, and is naturally the most suitable for celebrating the New Year. When An Ziyang and Coral walked to the square, they found that the stage was full of people, all ready to watch the New Year's fireworks up close. The fireworks stacked under the table are large and small, and the reason why they are completely different is that they bloom in a variety of postures and colors, and this year's storage is another shocking and extraordinary visual feast. An Ziyang and his cousin sang and explained to Coral what they were seeing.

The Spring Festival Gala was broadcast live on a large electronic screen above the stage, with some children holding musical lanterns playing and chasing each other in the audience, some brandishing glowing fluorescent swords and sticks, and younger children wearing shiny bobo shoes circling around their parents. In the distance, groups of adults raised their heads and clasped their chests, staring intently at the screen in the center, stretching out their hands to applaud from time to time. Under the light of the screen, everyone is colorful.

At this time, Li Qing'er and Mi Bobo were sitting at the front desk of the silent Yunge Star Hotel, and there were few guests tonight, and they were also happy to be at ease. Liu Xitao was waiting for Li Qing'er while watching the Spring Festival Gala in the hall, he wanted to take Li Qing'er home to see his parents, but Li Qing'er refused, Li Qing'er did not approve of rushing to go at the end of the year.

Mi Bo and Wang Mi Li rarely didn't go to the table for a few days, it was really not that they woke up, and what made them paradoxical was that they couldn't get people at all. During this time, the whole city became unusually deserted and depressed.

At twelve o'clock, the New Year's bell rang, and in an instant, the sky was rendered as brilliant as a glow by fireworks and neon. Liu Xitao, Wang Lili, Mi Bobo and Li Qing'er gathered on the roof of the building, and in the biting cold wind, several of them twisted their waists in the sound of joyful music, waved fireworks, and drank beer and cola. Li Qing'er and Mi Bobo talked about Coral and An Ziyang, guessing whether Coral would get what she wanted, whether she would marry a wife soon, and the two argued about being Coral's bridesmaids, and excitedly discussed how to dress up beautifully and how to be funny.

An Ziyang: They also waited for the countdown.

"Eight...... Seven...... Six...... Five...... Four...... Three...... Two...... One! ”

"Bang bang bang!"

"Oh no!" "Oooh!"

"Happy New Year!"

With a burst of countdown shouts, a salute, a string of applause and blessings, the New Year came, everyone danced and cheered, the dark sky suddenly radiant, colorful, and the sky and earth were as bright as day.

The New Year's Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and soon after, Wang Lili went with the romance of rice silk and silk. Liu Xitao also wanted to go down with him, and Li Qing'er imagined that he was in a room with a lonely man and a widow, so he refused to go to his dormitory. In order to prevent every step from making mistakes, she wants to induce him to become the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and she believes that with the help of good intentions, they will one day achieve positive results, and then it will be natural for them to .......

When the fireworks died down and the night sky fell silent, Wei Jianrong and his party slowly returned along the street with small steps. After entering the door, Wei Jianrong turned on the TV, and the evening program was still being replayed on the screen. An Ziyang and Coral discussed the similarities and differences of the New Year in their hometowns, and An Ziyang saw that Wei Jianrong's eyes were focused on the TV, and he didn't mean to interject at all, so he asked him seemingly casually.
