Chapter 50: Chinese New Year's Eve in a Foreign Country

On February 11, 2021, Chinese New Year's Eve, in a rented house in Chengdu.

"Hey, what's this in the living room, it's such a big one?" Before going out, Zhang Lan looked at a very big thing in the living room, and called out to Sun Han and asked.

"Oh, the gift box, I'll bring it over later, for my uncle and aunt." Sun Han replied as he walked out of the house.

"You're too polite, aren't you, when did you buy it? Such a big thing, it's still so well hidden. ”

"Oh, it should be, I haven't seen my uncle and aunt for a long time, besides, it's just a food gift box, and it's not too valuable. It's a big holiday, I can't come to the door empty-handed, it's hard to do it, I'm really bent on going to your house to eat and drink, haha. ”

"Okay, okay, I can't say you, hurry up, my parents usually eat early, I think it's about the same time now, let's get there at half past five, it should be just right."

On February 11, 2021, Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Lan's parents' house in Chengdu.

This is a high-rise residence, Zhang Lan rang the intercom doorbell downstairs, entered the door, walked into the elevator, and soon came to the door of Zhang Lan's parents' house.

"Oh, Hanhan is here, I haven't seen him for several years." With the voice, it was Zhang Lan's mother who opened the door and greeted her. "Come in, come in."

"Hello Auntie. This is for you and your uncle, Happy Chinese New Year. Sun Han entered the door and handed over the gift box.

"Oh, why are you still buying. Hey, Lan Lan, aren't you renting a house together, you don't stop when you see it, why do you still let Han Han spend money. Zhang Lan's mother took the gift, smiling and complaining.

"Hey, Hanhan, why do I think you've grown taller again, you're too tall now." Zhang Lan's mother put down her things, then pulled Sun Han over, looked at her from top to bottom, and asked with a smile.

"No, Auntie, how can I be, I can't grow taller, this, the shoe has a heel."

Zhang Lan watched from the side, smiled, and muttered a little disgusted, "Mom, don't you ignore your daughter, as soon as you enter the door, your mouth is full of Hanhan, Hanhan, alas." ”

"Oh, don't make a fuss, isn't it rare for people to come here, do I still have to entertain you, you are familiar with it. Hurry up, your dad is still busy in the kitchen, you hurry up and take a look, help your dad go, I'll have a good chat with Hanhan first. I don't care about you. ”

Zhang Lan squeezed her eyes at Sun Han, and replied: "Okay, okay, I'll go to my dad." ”

Sun Han, who was dragged to the living room by Zhang Lan's mother to sit down, also started the journey of chatting with him.

"Hanhan, how is it now, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Yes, Auntie, but he's not here in Chengdu."

"Ah, you young people now, why are you so far away, my former colleague's daughter, too. It's not easy to do in this place, where is he now? ”

"He was sent to Shanghai before, and then he went back to the headquarters a while ago, and the headquarters was in Beijing. He's from Beijing, so it's more convenient. ”

"What about you, Hanhan, I heard Lan Lan say, you were also in Shanghai before, right, this is Chengdu, how about it, do you have any plans to settle here?"

"Auntie, I haven't thought about it so much, it's just work, where the opportunity is good, I can take it, I don't have any limitations in location. Anyway, I have a lot of business trips for my job, and everywhere I am, it's all the same. ”

"Alas, too, it's not just you, you see Lan Lan's business trip is also terrible, you young people now, why are you always so tormented. But fortunately, you at least have a boyfriend, look at Lan Lan, where is your boyfriend, it's really worry-free. Zhang Lan's mother complained a little.

Sun Han didn't know about Zhang Lan's breakup, whether her family knew, but Zhang Lan is now in contact with E

ic, Auntie must know, but Sun Han still didn't want to say much, so he had to smile. "No, Auntie, Sister Lan Lan's conditions are so good, you don't have to worry at all."

"What's good, she's a year older than you, isn't she, how can we not be in a hurry, she will be 35 years old after her birthday, when I was 35 years old, Lan Lan was in elementary school, she was fine, and she was not in a hurry."

"Oh, Auntie, isn't Sister Lan Lan still here, now she is 34 years old, this is still in her early 30s, besides, I think it, this matter is not in a hurry, you must also hope that Sister Lan Lan is doing well, and you can't just find one, as if you have completed the task, it will be counterproductive."

"Look, you young people, you always have something to say, but that's right, I don't want her to be in a hurry, just make do with one, that's definitely not good, it's not necessary."

"Yes, yes, so, you really don't have to be in a hurry, I think, Sister Lan Lan must know it."

"What are you talking about? It's quite lively. Zhang Lan walked out of the kitchen and asked with a smile. Mom, Sun Han, you go to the table and sit down first, I'm going to serve the food right away. ”

At the dinner table, Zhang Lan pointed to the dishes, smiled at Sun Han and asked, "How is my dad doing, isn't it good?" ”

"It's not bad, it's great, it's just too much, and it's too rich." Sun Han turned to Zhang Lan's father again, "Thank you, uncle." ”

"If it's delicious, eat more, most of my methods are Cantonese cuisine, and it's not greasy, eat more, it's okay."

Zhang Lan's mother also chimed in on with Sun Han's dishes, and said: "Yes, yes, what body management do you usually pay attention to, it's all over the holidays, one or two meals, it's okay, Hanhan, come, eat more." ”

Sun Han nodded and said "thank you" busily, "Auntie, I'll come by myself, it's okay." ”

"Come on, Lan Lan, you have it too, don't you have it later, you have to say something about me and only care about Hanhan." Zhang Lan's mother laughed and said, and at the same time also took the dishes and handed them to Zhang Lan.

"Oh, Mom, let's just do it ourselves, it's okay, it's okay, don't get it, we'll do it ourselves."

The topic at the dinner table is nothing more than that, from the meal, I don't know how, I talked about work again, and then talked about my boyfriend......

Zhang Lan's mother was also complaining intermittently, and she didn't know her own children in and out of her words, when would she be able to have a stable partner, and when would she be able to enter into marriage. Zhang Lan and Sun Han could only listen while eating, and occasionally echoed a few words.

Fortunately, after dinner, Zhang Lan's parents also asked friends to have an extra party, and the topic at the dinner table really did not continue. Looking at the time, it was almost 8 o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Lan half-jokingly began to urge her parents.

"Mom and Dad, don't you have a party later? Don't be late. ”

"Oh, you kid, this is because I don't like what I say, okay, okay, let's quickly pack up and go out." By the way, you and Hanhan, let's go out for a while, those pedestrian streets are quite lively tonight. Zhang Lan's mother turned her head and asked Sun Han again: "Hanhan, you came to Chengdu, you are so busy with work, have you ever had a good visit?" Let Lan Lan take you around for a while, the night scene of Chengdu and the night market are quite rich. ”

"Oh, Mom, okay, I know, we'll arrange it ourselves later."

Leaving Zhang Lan's home, with a breeze at night, the weather in February was still a little cold. "Where are you going? Got an idea? Zhang Lan dragged Sun Han and asked.

"I'm okay, I'm not familiar with Chengdu, didn't Auntie just say, let you take me to go shopping haha." I'm sure I'm listening to you. Sun Han replied with a smile.

"Okay, good, big holiday, whatever you say is what you say. Listen to me, why don't we go to Chunxi Road to see the night view first, and then find a place to sing nearby. What do you think? ”

"Okay, I'm fine, I'll go with you."

February 11, 2021, Chinese New Year's Eve, near Chunxi Road, Chengdu.

Twilight has already fallen, the lights on both sides of Chunxi Road are eye-catching, and the light decorations on both sides of the street are full of festive charm. People come and go, overflowing with color.

From Chunxi Road, I walked to the Jiuyan Bridge.

At night, the lights of the Jiuyan Bridge are on, presenting a beautiful and dreamy scene. Surrounded by Lan Kwai Fong, Riverside Bar Street, and Cape of Good Hope Square, it is full of all kinds of night walkers. Standing on the side of the Funan River and overlooking the covered bridge, the reflection of the bright lights is very beautiful on the charming Funan River. The Funan River under the bridge is illuminated by neon lights, making it even more illusory and blurry.

Anshun Covered Bridge is in the backdrop of the river, confusing, dotted, with professionals holding cameras, it has become a paradise for photographers, I am afraid everyone also wants to record this brilliant night scene.

Stop and go, chat, look at the scenery, and unconsciously return to the intersection of Chunxi Road. "It's almost time." "Huh? What, when? Sun Han asked a little puzzled. Just wait a minute, there will be a surprise. Zhang Lan pretended to be mysterious.

Sun Han found that more and more people had stopped around him, all hugging the position near the intersection and looking at the opposite side. Sun Han also looked at the opposite side, it was just a huge screen at the moment, and there seemed to be nothing to be surprised about, just when he was suspicious, the crowd became more and more noisy, and heard several voices "It's almost time, it's almost there!" Hurry up, don't miss it. Staring at Ah first. ”

The big screen, sure enough, changed, the giant beast attacked, the oppressive atmosphere soared to the sky, and the crowd couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamations, and all eyes were full of pedestrians holding mobile phones. The camera is all aimed at the huge screen. "Oh, so it's naked-eye 3D." Sun Han also muttered to himself. "yes, it seems to appear here at regular intervals every day, and every time it's a bunch of people crowded here." Zhang Lan replied while taking a picture with her mobile phone.

"What's the matter, I've walked around the street, and I've seen 3D, it's still early now, why don't you go to K Song, there's something nearby."

"Okay, I've said it all, I'll listen to you."

"I'll check first, hurry up and make an appointment first, let's go over there first."

On February 11, 2021, Chinese New Year's Eve, K song room near Chunxi Road in Chengdu.

The private room of the small package was finally booked. The karaoke night show for two people, of course, began. "Are you going to do a nostalgic TVB album today? You've taken me back to my childhood memories, haha. Zhang Lan teased Sun Han while continuing to choose her own song on the screen. Then I'll accompany you, and I'll also order the theme song of the TV series. Then he added such a sentence.

"Didn't I grow up watching TVB, it's all very familiar melodies. Besides, in front of you, help me with this half-hung Cantonese and correct my mistakes. Sun Han didn't show weakness either, and replied with a smile.

......

This singing for 3 hours, after singing, it will be past zero o'clock, for Sun Han, this first Chinese New Year's Eve in a different place after returning to China, it was spent in this way full and happy.
