There are fireworks blooming in the sky, and the sound of firecrackers resounding throughout thousands of homes.

The smell of fireworks in the world is the most soothing to the hearts of mortals.

Families get together, they forget all tiredness, unwillingness and grievances at this moment, and enjoy the joy that family members bring to each other.

The 1999 Spring Festival Gala was colorful and full of freshness and curiosity for everyone in the house, except for one man.

There was nothing new to him about these columns, but they brought back endless memories for him.

Drinking the liquor in the glass alone, looking at the TV in a daze, the colors reflected on his side face, his eyes were deep, like the starry sky at night.

"The golden wind sends happiness, the spring flowers have bloomed, the spring thunder of the earth in February, and the gongs and drums are beating."

"The hundred-year-old dream has come true, the millennium is holding hands, and China has entered a new era."

"Congratulations on the Chinese New Year, the five grains are bumper and smiling, congratulations on the Chinese New Year, the singing is ...... thousands of miles"

A man in a purple suit and a woman with narrowed eyes sang the song "Happy China-National Year".

"The descendants of the mountain drop ~~~~! Love the sun~~~! ”

"The sun loves you, the people in the mountains are ......"

A woman dressed in red, with big black braids, and full of joy appeared on the stage, and her unique voice instantly made the people of the whole country boil.

There was a man's rough voice singing in the TV: "Yo...... Yo! Yo! ”

The woman sang as she walked down the steps.

"The mountain road here has eighteen bends, and the waterway here has nine links."

"The mountain songs here are lined up in pairs, and the mountain songs here are stringed in strings......"

The upper half of the woman's body is a bright red robe, and the lower half of her body is yellow fat pants. Anna said that this is the current popular "national style", and An Shengsen said that it is not good-looking, like fried tomatoes with tomatoes. Then he added: The singing is okay.

"Hot girls are spicy, hot girls are spicy, hot girls have not been afraid of spicy since they were children,"

"Hot Girl Spicy, Hot Girl Spicy, Hot Girl Hot Girl Spicy Spicy Spicy ......"

The woman in a half-blue, half-red cheongsam walked to the stage and sang the contemporary divine comedy "Hot Girl". This time, it was the turn of the older women to say that they couldn't understand it, while Duan Yusheng, Xu Zhigao, Wan Kaicheng and others watched and listened with relish, including An Shengsen, who had been finding faults, was also watching the TV screen intently at this time.

Anna wondered: "Dad, isn't this lyric a rebellious word?" ”

An Shengsen glared at her: "I don't understand art." ”

As soon as Erya came back, she was dragged out by Jiang Tian to set off firecrackers, and she didn't even eat a mouthful of hot rice.

Seeing this, Jiang Qing followed out, accusing Jiang Tian of being ignorant, while Erya hurriedly shook her head to say that she was not hungry and was not in the way.

With the advancement of the Spring Festival Gala, it finally ushered in a program that the people of the country are most concerned about, Zhao Benshan's sketch "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow".

Often at this time, those who are playing mahjong, poker, or drinking and chatting will also stop and watch the TV expectantly.

I saw Cui Jian in a white suit walking up to the stage, and the old man and the old lady introduced themselves first, so there was a scene that has been popular all over the country for more than 20 years.

Old lady: "My name is Bai Yun." ”

Old man: "My name is Black Earth. ”

Old lady: "I'm seventy-one." ”

Old man: "I'm seventy-five." ”

Old lady: "I'm a chicken." ”

Old man: "I'm a tiger." ”

Old lady: "This is my husband." ”

Old man: "This is my mother." ”

The whole scene burst into laughter, instantly bringing the atmosphere to the extreme, and outside the TV, even An Shengsen, who had always been serious, laughed.

This is the charm of sketches, which can make people happy and laugh.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Jiaban gradually began to infiltrate all over the country, and the actor of the old man has also become a household name, so that in the next twenty years, there will be such a saying as "After passing the Shanhaiguan, there is something to find this mountain".

With the end of the sketch, the Spring Festival Gala is slowly coming to an end, and everyone is looking at the TV screen, waiting for the New Year's bell.

The host counts dozens of counts, the bell rings, and the new year has arrived.

The year 1999 ended and ushered in a new year 2000.

The windows are full of colors, the sky is constantly flickering, and fireworks are rising one after another, which is dazzling.

The young people ran out one after another, standing in the snow and looking up. Erya and Jiang Tian also rushed into the house, pulling An Shengsen and Jiang Yang, who stayed in the house, out to watch the fireworks.

An Shengsen was reluctant to go out at first, saying that the fireworks were nothing to see, not as good as the sound of cannonballs, and not as big as the sparks of cannonballs.

Jiang Yang didn't give him a chance to continue bragging, and dragged the old man out with his arms.

Until the courtyard, An Shengsen looked up at the sky, there was curiosity and shock in his eyes, and he would open his mouth because of the sudden appearance of a particularly large firework, except that he did not dance with his hands, he was no different from Jiang Tian who was full of excitement.

Looking at the excited people in the courtyard, Jiang Yang was quite emotional at this moment. I don't know when the New Year no longer feels and tastes like this, and is replaced by coldness and "last resort".

If it is said that the "going home for the New Year" at this time is full of happiness and yearning, then the "going home for the New Year" 20 years later is mostly mixed with sadness and helplessness.

There are no fireworks in the sky and no firecrackers in every house because this is forbidden in order to prevent fires.

Throughout the year, men are hesitant to go home because of whether they have made money this year, and if not, how to face their parents, their wives and children, and those relatives and friends who compare themselves with each other when they return home.

All kinds of troubles will even make some people worry when they hear the word "New Year". What's even more ridiculous is that "there is no money to go home for the New Year" has become the most resonant sentence every year, in essence, when the New Year is associated with money, then the word reunion is no longer so pure.

Jiang Yang will never forget that his friend in his previous life drank a whole bottle of pesticides on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year because he lost 14,500 yuan on the way home for the New Year.

He committed suicide.

This man chose to commit suicide, not because of the fourteen,five hundred yuan itself, but because when the incident happened, his parents complained that he was careless, his wife and children accused him of being incompetent, when the burden of the family fell on his head alone, when he threw away the hope of the whole family, he blamed himself and did not exchange the sympathy of the closest person, but for three days of accusation, nagging and even abuse.

The man chose to escape in this way, perhaps because he thought it was easier.

On days that should have been festive and red, that family was covered with white.

Some people blame the man's parents and wife, and some people say that the man is at fault, knowing that this is a year's salary and the hope of the whole family, but he is still careless and loses the money.

When Jiang Yang learned the news, he originally didn't believe it.

In his impression, this friend used to be cheerful, love and hate, was everyone's pistachio, and often even took care of himself who was taciturn at that time.

Since then, it seems that everything has changed in this world.

It has become impersonal, strange, money has dominated people's lives, and slowly dominated people's emotions, and in the end, even the Chinese New Year can't stop the word money.

It was even more because of that moment that Jiang Yang in his previous life was completely awakened.

He's going to make money.

Make lots and lots of money.
