Winter turns to spring, after a drizzling rain, the snow gradually melts, and under the eaves of various places, ticking and ticking.

Approaching February, spring in the north is still not as early as in the south, perhaps the south is already a haze warbler flying grass, and the apricot trees of the happy home have just broken through the ice, spitting out a little shoots, but it is much more beautiful than the bare one two months ago.

Legend has it that once upon a time, there was a monster called Nian, which would come to people's gathering places once in a while, and then people would call it every time they came: year.

But it was very fierce and dangerous, and people panicked at first, and then they realized that Nian was afraid of red, bright light, and sound, so they put red paper in front of the door and used fire to make a crackling sound to drive it away.

There is also a legend that in ancient times, there was a young man named Wan Nian, who found that the seasons were very chaotic at that time, so he wanted to set the seasons accurately, but he couldn't find a way to calculate the time.

Until one day, Wan Nian went up the mountain to chop firewood and was tired, sitting under the shade of the tree to rest, it happened that the movement of the shadow of the tree inspired him, and when he got home, he designed a sundial to measure the time of the day, which was used to measure the time of the day, but this was not accurate, he was very distressed but had no way.

Later, when he saw the dripping spring on the cliff, he was inspired again, and this time he made a more accurate five-layer leaky pot.

After a long time, he found that every 360 days, the four seasons were reincarnated, and the length of the days was repeated.

Until he succeeded in creating the perpetual calendar, and then Wannian pointed to the celestial phenomena and said to the then monarch Zu Yi:

"Now is the end of the twelfth month, the old year is over, and the new year is resumed, pray that the king will set a festival as a notice."

Zu Yi thought for a while and said: "Spring is the beginning of the year, so let's call it the Spring Festival." ”

——

"Xiao An, come and help me hold the ladder!"

"Brother Xuan!"

Chu Xuan was pasting couplets, closing the door on the left and right, and the horizontal batch in the middle, using rice paste instead of glue.

"Eh, come and see if it's crooked?"

"It's not crooked, it's in the middle!"

"Okay, that's it."

Chu Xuan got down the ladder and watched the new couplet.

Shanglian: The family has a well-off happy day,

Downlink: Spring returns to the earth and sunny days.

Horizontal criticism: people's hearts are happy.

"Let's go, go back to the house, Aunt Jiang should be about to cook."

Xiao An wondered:

"Aren't you going to light firecrackers this year?"

"Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility, have you seen the balloon I bought?

Wait a minute, string them all together, and then you step on them one by one, and it's crackling, and it's just another way to celebrate the New Year. ”

Chu Xuan was also used to this in his previous life, and firecrackers were really not allowed in the capital, only some suburbs still existed because of the reason of turning a blind eye, but since the ban was banned, it was simply like this, and I don't know how many years later, no one will be able to understand the rush of 'one year old in the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu'.

"Okay then, I'll blow up balloons with Xiao Nan!"

Chu Xuan patted his head and sighed, it's the first year in this world, it's good, "The Man Who Planted the Stars" has been completely released, the box office is fixed at 27.3 million, a perfect start, Hong Kong and Taiwan will not be released until April, as for overseas, it depends on Columbia's arrangement.

Chu Xuan was in a good mood, and then he didn't go in at all, just sat on a stone outside the door and made a phone call,

To the teacher Director Wang, to the cheap uncle Han Sanping, to the friend Ning Hao who lived in a tent in the Inner League, to the younger brother A Chao who returned to Jiangxi Province, to Huang Bo who returned to his hometown with wealth and wealth, to Zhou Lin who recalled his career, to Tongtong who often took a big sip of himself, to classmate Qianqian who was still growing up, and finally to Yuanyuan, who was a little secretive, she also wanted to come to the Happy Home for the New Year, but Chu Xuan insisted that she accompany her parents, and she could come here at any time in the future.

Unconsciously, Chu Xuan found that he had come into contact with so many people, was it because the fate was too deep or was everything an old dream?

He sometimes felt that everything he was experiencing now had a strange sense of familiarity, as if it had all been released in a certain time and space, and he was just repeating the steps.

But every time he looked ahead, he was still as white as a snowflake,

Chu Xuan raised his head and said nothing, it was just a kind of cultivation, although he didn't know what he wanted to cultivate, so he stepped on it, only a few meters away from the door of his house, it seemed to be a light year apart, but when he stepped again, it was like a broken mirror, and there was no barrier in this time and space.

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, he remembered a poem by Yan Shu, and he was very touched:

Helplessly, the flowers fell, and the familiar swallow returned.

But if you want him to say, it's better to tread the snow to find plums, and return when you are full!

Until the neighbors and even the whole of China came with a voice of great joy:

"It's the New Year!"

Chu Xuan patted the mark on his buttocks, he chose to cherish everything in front of him, the excitement of the children to wear new clothes and eat delicious food for the New Year, and the adults put down all their burdens to welcome the New Year happily, they all hoped that everything would be better, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and everything would be renewed.

…

…

"Come, Xiao Nan eat more fish, as the old saying goes: there is more than enough every year, that's what it means."

Chu Xuan sandwiched the dishes for Xiao Nan, and Xiao An on the side also muttered:

"Brother Xuan, I want it too!"

"You've grown up, do it yourself!"

Chu Xuan unceremoniously refused, and then praised himself after tasting the pork rib soup:

"Auntie's craftsmanship is getting better and better, the soup is really delicious, I haven't learned it for so long, is my aunt secretly hiding a hand?"

Aunt Jiang scolded with a smile: "It's a hidden hand, but I can't tell you until you have your own family." ”

Chu Xuan was a little surprised, it was really true!

But this condition is very paradoxical, "Don't I have it now, auntie, just tell me, next time I'll show my hand!" ”

Aunt Jiang just shook her head, "It's different, let's talk about it when you get married and have children." ”

Chu Xuan was a little stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem, to be honest, he was a little unmarried, and even hated that piece of proof, he had always thought that the nature of the existence of that piece of paper itself was a question of love!

Although Chu Xuan understands that this is to better protect the marriage, he is unhappy in his heart, because love should not be tied to all kinds of constraints, since loving someone should not only love her appearance and character, but also respect her past and hurt her scars, as long as the two of them live a good life in the future, if something really happens in the future and they can't get along, then there will not be so many things to separate, and it will reduce each other's harm.

"Then you can hide it well, I'm not in a hurry."

Aunt Jiang shook her head and smiled, but didn't say much.

Later, after the family finished eating, they turned on the TV and started the annual Spring Festival Gala.

The chief director of the 03rd session is Jin Yue, who has directed the Spring Festival Gala many times, and was finally fired in 10 years because he added too many advertisements.

But the Spring Festival Gala program 10 years ago was still very good. For example, this year:

Guo Donglin, Yan Ni's sketch "My Dad and I Change Roles" and Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei's "Heart Disease", as well as various acrobatics, magic, ethnic minority dance songs, cross talk, kung fu, etc.

In addition, there are not many entertainment methods for ordinary people in these years, and the atmosphere of watching the Spring Festival Gala together as a family is very strong, talking and laughing, chatting about the past and the future.

But who can know that when the basic eating and drinking are not worried, the year is not as good as the year, relatives and friends are gradually not as good as before, and the happiness that comes with it is becoming less and less?

Xiao An Xiaonan was eating snacks, playing with dolls and various toys, and occasionally ran into the yard to sneak around and light small firecrackers and small fireworks.

Chu Xuan ignored them, and quietly accompanied Aunt Jiang, replying to messages from all parties with text messages from time to time.

"Brother Xuan, when the New Year is over, you can pick me up, I don't have to go home at night."

Gao Yuanyuan is teasing him again!

Chu Xuan replied, "It's on the way." ”

"Really? Or... I'll go to you tomorrow. ”

Chu Xuan smiled, if you have experienced this kind of thing, you will have experience.

"Hehe, that's it?"

"Then come on, as long as you can beat my dad!"

Chu Xuan decisively changed the topic:

"Let's watch the show, the following is the opera: "New Year in the Pear Garden".

"I don't understand, it's still funny from the previous sketch."

Chu Xuan sighed, the decline of opera is inevitable, because the times have changed, even if the teachers on stage today are like 'horns' in the last century, if they want to go to see them perform, they have to make an appointment and pay, but in another two years, no one will watch even if they perform on the street.

After chatting with Gao Yuanyuan for a while, I planned to take this opportunity to explore Aunt Jiang's past, after all, I always felt that she had been in memory, so I was afraid that I would have a heart disease.

It's just that Xiao An grunted in,

"Brother Xuan, my sister wants to talk to you."

Chu Xuan was surprised, "Are you all so familiar?" ”

"Of course, Sister Sissi is the fourth best in the world!"

Chu Xuan smiled and took Nokia,

"Children, happy New Year, do you want me to give you some New Year's money?"

I wanted to make fun of it, after all, I also said that I gave her New Year's money, but Liu Qianqian has always been clever, and immediately replied:

"Uncle, you should be deficient in calcium when you're old, right? I'll give you two red envelopes in two days, after all, I know what it means to respect the elderly! ”

After hearing this, Chu Xuan simply said directly: "Let's talk about how much to give first!" ”

"Reward RMB... Quaternary! ”

Chu Xuan said angrily:

"You keep the flowers, and that's not what you call Hanako."

"Uncle, it's good to give it to you, I know you're eating, drinking, and having fun together, but haven't you noticed that I'm missing after so long?"

"Haha, then you can come during the Lantern Festival."

Chu Xuan laughed happily, people really have to have contrasts.

"I can't wait until then, I'm going to join the group in a week."

"I feel sorry for you."

"Badass!"

…

…

Another legend is that there is a fierce monster that lives in the deep mountains and dense forests, and people call them "Zhen".

Its appearance is hideous, ferocious by nature, specializing in eating birds and animals, scaly insects, changing a taste a day, from kowtow insects to eating large living people, and later, people slowly mastered the activity law of "Zhen",

Every three hundred and sixty-five days, it would come to the crowded places to taste it, and it would come out after dark, and when the rooster crowed and dawned, they would return to the mountains and forests.

Therefore, people regard the last night of the year as a pass, called "New Year's Pass".

And when their foreheads are touched, the children will cry in fright, and they will either become fools or die.

Later, people knew that they were afraid of light, so they put eight copper coins next to the child's pillow, and when they saw the light reflected by the copper coins and were scared away, no child was killed.

These eight copper coins later evolved into "squeezing" money.

"Okay, it's time, Xiao An, Xiao Nan come here."

Chu Xuan greeted the two of them, and prepared two red envelopes in his hands, which did not have much money, ten yuan per person.

"Na, red envelopes for you, I hope to grow up healthily in the new year, study hard, and remember to honor Aunt Jiang when I grow up."

"Thank you, Brother Xuan!"

"Woooooooooooo

"And then it's a gift for you."

Chu Xuan once again took out the specially dismantled script from the side and handed it to the two of them.

"This is the gift I said, be the little protagonist in my movie, although there are not many scenes, but I hope you will take it seriously, I will be very strict at that time, and I will be scolded if I don't do well!"

Xiao An shouted happily, "Can I really be an actor like Sister Sissi?" ”

"Yes, but in the future, you still have to go your own way, just treat it as an experience."

Chu Xuan touched his head, as he said, he would not interfere with what career Xiao An would go to in the future, as long as he was a good citizen of Huaguo, then he would support it.

It's just that Xiao Nan seems very hesitant, she wants to be happy, but she has a lot of worries in her heart, she is afraid that she will not be able to act well, because she will not be able to express it.

"Come, Nannan, don't be afraid, my brother will tell you little by little, you just need to simply lip sync, don't worry about the conversation, because I have omitted a lot, as long as your expression is fine, and my brother needs your help, is it okay?"

Chu Xuan was also hesitant to let Xiao Nan play when he was thinking about Xiao Roy, after all, Guan Xiaotong was also very suitable at this time, but in the end, she still thought, give it a try, she needs to see the world with her own eyes, take cars, planes, see high-rise buildings, and get in touch with different things, so that life will be more exciting.

Xiao Nan was still a little timid, Xiao An took the initiative to hold her hand in the past, and then said loudly:

"I'll protect you, don't be afraid!"

Xiao Nan looked at them, and then nodded heavily.

"yes, great, long live Brother Xuan!"

After waiting for everything to be over, Chu Xuan suppressed them and went back to the room to sleep, and then planned to rest, recuperating enough to complete the sub-scenes of the script.

But outside the door, Aunt Jiang was waiting for him.

"Auntie, aren't you resting?"

Aunt Jiang just said kindly: "You gave Xiao Nan their New Year's money, and now it's my turn to give it to you." ”

Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then walked up to her and stretched out his hand with a smile, "Then thank you, auntie, I wish you good health and all the best!"

Anyway, I will never grow up in your heart, so I will always accept this red envelope! ”

Aunt Jiang looked at Chu Xuan's hippie face and suddenly felt in a trance, as if she had returned to when he was a child, a little stubborn and a little firm.

"I can't take it anymore, I'll give it to you."

After Aunt Jiang finished speaking, she took out a sheepskin bag and handed it over.

Chu Xuan took it and was a little puzzled, what is this?

Then I took out the real estate certificate and several land certificates!

The real estate certificate is a happy home, and the land certificate is marked with the specific address and area, adding up to ten acres of land, which doesn't sound much, but one acre of land represents 667 square meters, and although this lot is the fourth ring, this is the capital!

Chu Xuan remembered that the house prices here in later generations were basically around 100,000, although the land price could not be calculated like this, it would actually be more expensive, but even if it was more than 100,000 square meters, this is...

More than 600 million!

If you bring in funds to build two buildings on top of this, this Nima!

The total value of the three buildings in Sohu is higher than its market value!

"Auntie, I can't take this!"

Chu Xuan refused without hesitation, because the gentleman did something and didn't do anything!

"Take it, that's all my aunt has, who else can I give it to if I don't give it to you?"

Aunt Jiang's eyes lost a lot after speaking, but then she was relieved, "You will need them more than me." ”

"Auntie, the country will develop vigorously, and these areas look relatively desolate at present, but I bet that everything will be different in ten years, it will be very valuable, it is likely to be worth nine figures, I can't take it!"

Chu Xuan directly told her his judgment, in fact, there are not many people who can guess that real estate will become a new outlet, and there are many smart people!

For example, Li Jiacheng would rather hold on to the land than develop it when he bought it, and wait for the house price to rise and then look at the situation, whether to sell it or do it himself.

"Ah Xuan, let me ask you a question, will you leave me and Xiao An behind?"

Chu Xuan shook his head, "It's impossible. ”

"So, you just take it and listen to your aunt again."

Aunt Jiang's eyes were sure, or she had treated Chu Xuan as a son for so many years, in her opinion, maybe this was just a normal inheritance, because the child had grown up completely.

In the end, Chu Xuan agreed, but he would not move this property, although at present, these lands can be worth tens of thousands of dollars if they are taken out of loans, which will be very helpful to his career, but it is still the same sentence, if it is tossed away, Aunt Jiang will not blame him, but he can't forgive himself.

It's just that...

I didn't expect to go around and around and become a rich second generation?

It should be able to be counted like this, fate is really amazing.

So... Why should the principal be moved, lying flat is the most stable route, maybe he has worked hard in the wind and rain for several years, and in the end it is not worth as much as these pieces of land.

In the end, Chu Xuan helped Aunt Jiang to her room, where there was not much furniture, but there were many traditional embroideries hanging on the walls, which was very in the style of the eighties and nineties.

Aunt Jiang's original name: Jiang Huilan, a woman with an orchid in her name, her story may be sealed in the dust, but through contact, she may be able to make a certain judgment, just like an orchid: noble and elegant, loyal and unswerving.

When Chu Xuan walked outside the door and took one last look at the waning moon in the sky, he actually felt 'her' mercy at this moment...
