Especially Gao Yuzhi's concubine, a retired cadre, used to eat together and boast like a flower abroad, Ji Ping hoped that Ji Donglai could hitchhike with Jiang Xue at that time, but unfortunately Ji Donglai's academic performance was ......

Now that his son has opened up a new path by himself, Ji Ping and Ning Caiyun are silently watching everything about their son all the time, hoping that their son can break out through his own efforts.

Even if they are not together during the Chinese New Year, they will no longer become two people......

Another strong light swept by, and Ning Caiyun reflexively looked at it for a while, but the strong light did not move, and then went out.

"My son is back, and I'm coming from the east......

"Oh, Mom!"

Ning Caiyun greeted, Ji Donglai hurriedly agreed, Ning Caiyun immediately ran out of the door, and Ji Ping behind him also leaked an unconcealable smile on his face, behind him Ji Heng and his wife also turned their heads and got up slowly, Ji Heng beat his waist, and his wife also took Ji Heng's hand and walked out slowly.

"It's time to send paper, it's just time that Donglai is coming back, and we'll also fire guns around, come!"

Watching Ji Donglai enter the yard, Ji Heng took the firecrackers at home and handed them to Ji Donglai, and Ji Ping also began to prepare yellow paper, according to the old tradition in the Northeast, the yellow paper at home started from the stove and burned to the gate of the courtyard.

Ning Caiyun specially prepared dumplings for Ji Donglai, and he would cook celery dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, hoping that the whole family would be diligent and diligent. In the traditional belief of the Chinese people, hard work can overcome everything.

With the gradual advancement of the times, diligence is gradually being replaced by intelligence. But everyone's expectations for the future have not changed, although everyone doesn't like to eat, they still have to do it.

Ning Caiyun specially prepared a plate of sauerkraut stuffed dumplings for Ji Donglai, waiting for his son to come back and cook them to eat.

"Crackling......

"It's the New Year, hahaha......"

The unique fragrance of firecrackers burning came from his nose, and the whole family had a happy smile on their faces, and Ji Donglai pulled his grandfather into the house.

"Grandpa, this year is not only New Year's Eve, but also a new century! You're a cross-century old man now!"

Filled Ji Heng with a small glass of juice, Ji Donglai's family sat at the table again, and Ji Heng's face also lit up with a long-lost smile.

"That's not it, Donglai, let me ask you a question, you said how many steps to put the elephant in the refrigerator, haha......

Ji Donglai didn't expect that Ji Heng suddenly came to such a sentence, Ji Donglai was slightly stunned, and then remembered the sketch "Hourly Worker" of this year's Spring Festival Gala, which is the most famous line of middle-aged Song Dandan.

"That ......"

"Haha, Dad! How could Donglai have guessed that he was still driving at that time!"

Looking at Ji Donglai, he was stunned, and the whole family fell into happiness. Ji Donglai also laughed, but he felt a little sad in his heart.

This sketch is very contemporary, with the reform and opening up into the deep water area, more and more young men and women gather on the southeast coast, from this time more and more Chinese old people will be incarnated in the New Year's festival incarnate Wangfu stone.

It's not just the issue of holiday reunions, the problem of only children, the decline in fertility rates, and the difficulty of getting married...... A series of problems will arise along with the comprehensive promotion of industrialization.

The whole society will also face a tear down and reconstruction of values, and the traditions that have been built for thousands of years have become full of holes with the sound of the New Year's bell.

In a year's time, China will officially integrate into globalization, and some things that have been inherited for thousands of years will face the great challenges of globalization. Ji Donglai, as a person who has experienced it once, only knows that it is too fast, it is almost a few decades, and it is too late to enjoy the scenery, and the car is almost at the end.

Glancing at the round table in front of him, Ji Donglai could clearly feel the difference from a few years ago.

Not to mention anything else, every Chinese New Year's Eve before the wave of layoffs in previous years, Ji Heng's six children would all gather at Ji Ping's house without exception, and the whole family was happy and lively.

As well as the people represented by Ping, because the efficiency of the factory is not good, many families have fallen into an economic crisis, in line with the principle of not adding difficulties to Ji Donglai's family.

Relatives have spontaneously reduced the frequency of coming to the house to gather, after all, Ji Ping's burden as the boss to support the elderly is not small, and frequent eating and drinking will increase the support of the two of them to support their lives

difficulty.

In many cases, it is not relatives who are deliberately estranged, but the standard of social values is quietly changing, although many people are reluctant to admit that money will become the theme that people will chase in the next century.

Despite the constant adjustments, the full introduction of the Western model of the economic structure will inevitably bring about a series of problems arising from this model, no matter how glorious China's culture has been inherited for thousands of years, but the low birthrate, fear of marriage, misanthropy, and many more will follow......

After eating, the family began to play cards, Ji Heng was not in good health, and the family rested at about one o'clock, Ji Donglai returned to his small courtyard alone, threw some coal to the stove, and couldn't sleep when he saw that the surroundings were empty, so he simply wore a thick dress and walked along the alley.

Looking at the prosperity in front of him, the white smoke that occasionally wafted from the stove, Ji Donglai had mixed feelings in his heart.

From 99 to the 00 Spring Festival, with a flick of his fingers, Ji Donglai almost buried his head, if it weren't for catching up with the tide of the times, Ji Donglai would have enough wealth to lie flat now.

It's just that in this era, how can you be willing not to toss it? After all, a certain treasure has just started tossing now, and more than ten years later, he will still shout out the famous horse era, although Ji Donglai does not have such a big ideal, but he doesn't want to watch some people lie when he looks at it sourly.

"Donglai, where are you going if you don't sleep at night?"

Ji Donglai was very surprised, and after walking a short distance, Ji Ping also followed.

"I miss my friend, Liu Yupeng, this kid doesn't know what's going on, I didn't have a phone call when I went to the south, this kid is really ruthless!"

Occasionally, children came out to set off cannons on the street, and the sound of the lamb whip and the second kick was particularly loud in the empty alley, and Ji Donglai reminded his father to pay attention.

Speaking of Liu Yupeng's family, Ji Ping wanted to speak and stopped.

"After the New Year, I plan to help your aunt, and they all say that now the construction salary is high, let's also make some money, and we can't always stay in a factory and get a dead salary, right?"

The two walked slowly along the streets of their hometown, and Ji Ping finally compromised with reality, after all, Ji Donglai's strength was still too weak, and it was too difficult to really rely on a twenty-year-old young man to work hard alone.

Ji Donglai was slightly stunned when he heard Ji Ping say this, and glanced at Ji Ping, Ji Ping turned his gaze into the distance, and slowly walked forward with his hands in his pockets.

Ji Donglai came to see that he secretly said in his eyes that everything that should come back was back, and it could be seen that as the head of the family, Ji Ping finally decided to start abandoning his family business, although Ji Donglai tried his best to let his parents enjoy the seemingly ordinary but enviable family fun, it was still difficult to avoid the change of times.
