Chapter 79: Twenty-Nine, New Year

After New Year's Day, the Spring Festival is approaching, and this year's Spring Festival came exceptionally early, January 27 is Chinese New Year's Eve.

A heavy snowfall will come to this thousand-year-old city, and there will be a white expanse everywhere, becoming a world covered in silver.

This is not very magical for Zhao Yuankang and Li Ruoxi, who have seen the frozen wonders of the Northeast, but for local people, it is a rare scenery.

Children build their most beautiful snowmen on the snow, throw the snow in their hands, and declare war on their companions.

Adults are also childlike, picking up branches and scribbling inscriptions on the snow, and using mobile phones and cameras to record beautiful images.

Looking at the white color of the eyes, people's hearts can calm down.

Ice and snow covered the earth, like a long silver dragon lying on the ground, winding forward, a series of footprints stretching towards the horizon.

Snow is a holy thing. After the change of clouds and mist, it falls into the mortal dust, and washes away the dirt of the world with the image of melting, and returns the world to a fresh world.

Wind, frost, rain and snow are a great experience in life.

How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Without a cold bone, how to get the fragrance of plum blossoms?

In the wind and snow, although it makes people feel extremely cold, it will also make people extraordinarily calm, can meditate on the problems of life, and are more likely to have an epiphany in this environment.

The cold ice jade bed of the ancient tomb school in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has a miraculous effect on the cultivation of internal strength, because of its cold qi that flows all the time, which makes people stay calm at all times and always run their internal breath to drive away cold luck.

When the snow first cleared, it was January 13th, and the lunar calendar was on the sixteenth day of the lunar month.

When it comes to the Chinese New Year, it is one of the most solemn festivals of the Chinese. No matter where you are, even if you are far away, you can feel the strong flavor of the New Year.

Chinese New Year, what is it?

It was a yearning for reunion. It was a warm memory. It's a cultural inheritance.

For young people, one of the most important activities for the Chinese New Year is to buy tickets for the Spring Festival.

It's hard to buy a ticket, and it's hard to get to the sky. His eyes looked through and he looked around blankly. Thousands of miles away from home, in a dilemma.

The image code recognition of the ticket-grabbing website is difficult to understand, the hotline is too difficult to call, and the traditional queue makes people helpless.

The great migration of tens of millions of people from north to south is known as the largest turmoil in the world, just to fulfill the wish of reunion.

Even if you are separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, even if you only stay at home for half an hour, you must go home.

People's wisdom is infinite, and nothing can stop the power to go home. Unable to buy tickets, people come up with all sorts of tricks to get on their way home.

The army of motorcycles and hitchhikers home have become a new type of Spring Festival transportation mode, and more conscientious enterprises have opened special trains for employees to go home to meet people's wishes to go home.

Although Zhao Yuankang does not have so much courage and ability, he feels that employees should be allowed to go home for the New Year with peace of mind.

He decided to start the holiday on January 18, the 20th day of the lunar month, and teachers who were far away could take the holiday early at his discretion without deducting his salary.

He doesn't feel the need to stare at the eight-hour workday, and if he doesn't concentrate on working for you and doesn't contribute to it, it won't be effective at all.

Maybe it only takes him to concentrate on working for you for six hours to achieve super productivity.

He also counted the hometowns of teachers and staff in other places in advance, but fortunately, they are basically in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and only two teachers are far away, one in Sichuan and one in Northeast China.

He asked the teachers in the Academic Affairs Office to hurry up and grab tickets and buy train tickets for the two teachers to go home, so that they could go home with peace of mind.

He and Li Ruoxi sent away the teachers who were far away one by one, and their hearts were full of emotion.

Parting is a complex emotion, a little sad, a little helpless, and a little expectant.

Cherish each other, and the bits and pieces of acquaintance and companionship naturally flow out of my mind.

Because of fate, we meet, and because of different directions, we separate.

Sometimes, when you turn around, you will be left with regrets and sorrows for a lifetime.

People who go out, even if they are successful, can hardly let go of the thoughts of their families in their hearts.

If you have money or not, go home for the New Year. People who are adrift just want to go home and see.

A ticket carries the concern of being separated from two places, and many people can experience this feeling.

Looking at the train in the distance, I was a little stunned, but I also felt a little relieved.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Zhao Yuankang, Li Ruoxi, Wang Haoran, and Wang Zixiang sent off the last teacher, closed the door of the Chinese Studies Society, and locked it.

Several people met to eat a hot pot together, and they were about to disperse and go home for the New Year.

These four people get along very well on weekdays, and they also have the intention of seeing each other late, and they are all locals, but Wang Haoran is from the city, and the other three people's hometowns are in the surrounding counties, but they all take the urban area as their main living area. Therefore, they are the closest group of people.

Among the four, Zhao Yuankang is the leader of the small team. On the one hand, it is determined by his daily position in the Chinese Studies Society. On the other hand, it is determined by his mature and stable character.

In contrast, although Wang Haoran is knowledgeable and humorous, he is obviously lacking in social interaction and experience.

Wang Zixiang is hardworking and has strong communication skills, but he lacks overall thinking, direction, and the ability to deal with problems is also insufficient.

Although Li Ruoxi has a strong heart, she is quiet and inactive, and she is a woman, with a weak personality and difficult to bear the big responsibility.

"Yuankang, Xiangzi, Ruoxi, I wish you a happy Spring Festival in advance, bring a good child for my family, and we'll see you in the New Year." Wang Haoran said goodbye to everyone.

"Okay, come back for the New Year, let's have a good drink." Shoko quipped.

Men's gatherings are inseparable from wine, wine, and when you drink it, you will bring out the words in your heart.

"Say goodbye, have a nice trip." Wang Haoran rode an electric car and disappeared into the night like a gust of wind.

"Xiangzi, I'll send Ruoxi home tomorrow, and then I'll go home for the New Year, you take care too."

Zhao Yuankang also made plans to go home, laughing and hugging Xiangzi.

Early the next morning, he picked up Li Ruoxi, left Handan City, and headed for Wei County.

Li Ruoxi's family is in the county seat, although the Li family is not a wealthy family, but it also has a certain economic foundation, and it has always been unacceptable for a single-parent family from a rural area like Zhao Yuankang.

He disappeared for two years without reason, which made Li Ruoxi waste her youth, and made her family have a lot of opinions about their affairs, so he didn't dare to visit.

This time, Ruoxi needs to do his parents' work, so that he is expected to be the guest of the scene.

He parked the car outside Ruoxi's community, and watched her enter the community, her slender figure gradually blurred, and then he turned the car around and went home.

The journey home, although familiar, seemed particularly long.

Passing through an uneven rural dirt road, there is a large poplar tree at the head of the village, and its branches and leaves are scattered. After turning around the two rows of houses, I came to my own door.

After the fire incident, the old house has been rebuilt, and on the original basis, it has been increased by one meter, which looks quite magnificent.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw that his mother had already walked out of the door, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he looked at this woman who had worked hard all his life.

In the past two years, I have been running outside, which has made my mother suffer a lot and tired.

In the days when I didn't know life and death, I don't know how many tears my mother shed. The younger brother is frail and sickly, and not only can he not help his mother share it, but he has become a burden.

As the pillar of the family, he has the responsibility to make his mother and younger brother live a happier life.

This is not something that can be solved by him earning money, he needs to pay more care and support.

To put it simply, it is to go home often to see, so that the home is full of excitement and flavor.

He hugged his mother tightly, and felt guilty when he saw that the gray hair on her head had increased a few more and her waist had bent a little.

The younger brother also shook his weak body and came out to take his hand, asking questions, he replied with a smile, and the family entered the heated room, saying that they missed parting.

This is the first Spring Festival after his return, and he wants to have an unforgettable Spring Festival with his family.

The next day, a family of three drove to the town to buy New Year's goods.

He has run the Chinese Studies Society for half a year, and he has a slight surplus, so he naturally contributed generously and bought a lot of things to let his mother and younger brother have a decent year.

Although there are only three people, he has prepared beef, pork, chicken, fish, shrimp and other ingredients, as well as fungus, garlic sprouts, mushrooms, leeks, broccoli, oil and wheat cabbage and other fresh vegetables.

He took his mother and younger brother to the mall to buy a new set of clothes, dressed up in a new way, and prepared to welcome the New Year.

Now people feel that there is no New Year's flavor, mainly because their mood has changed and they have no thirst for the New Year.

People's living standards have improved, their ideological awareness has also improved, they eat things they eat often, and they wear a lot of clothes.

But for him, a person who has experienced the difficulties of life and death, he cherishes the moment of the New Year.

The steaming dumplings, including a dumpling wrapped in a coin, represent fortune and good fortune, which he eats, and the family is happy and lively.

At the moment when the Spring Festival bell rang and thousands of firecrackers rang out, he couldn't help but shed tears.
