- In a blink of an eye, the New Year is here.
Since the beginning of the twenty-ninth year, there have been sporadic firecrackers going off.
Three years ago, Maoshan County caught up with the trend and banned fireworks and firecrackers in the city.
This move caused great dissatisfaction among the common people, but Huangshan insisted on going his own way. Those who dared to set off against the wind were arrested by the police station, fined 2,000 yuan, and detained for 15 days.
Killing a chicken really served as a warning to a group of monkeys.
From then on, no matter how festive and important events encountered in Maoshan County, there will never be a sound of firecrackers, and there will be no scent of firecrackers in the air.
Chinese New Year is a tradition with a history of thousands of years.
In the past Chinese New Year, setting off firecrackers is an essential and important part. It is said that firecrackers drive away evil spirits. Firecracker smoke can play a role in avoiding miasma.
A year that lacks fireworks and firecrackers has lost the flavor of the year.
Maoshan County is not a modern big city, and there are still traces of hundreds of years left in many places. This big city with more history, now imitating others and not allowing fireworks.
Xu Yishan has a soft spot for setting off firecrackers during the New Year. In his memory, this is a good memory.
When I was a child in the countryside, every New Year's Eve, after the New Year's Eve dinner, my mother would call the brothers and sisters to take a bath and change into new clothes.
It was the happiest day of the year. Not only will there be new clothes to wear, but Dad Xu Barefoot will give out a firecracker to each of them after they put on new clothes.
Xu Yishan will take his younger siblings to carefully disassemble a set of firecrackers one by one and put them in his pockets. With the glowing red coal fire, I lit a piece of incense and went out laughing all the way.
The year starts with the first firecracker, and starts with the joyful laughter of the children.
When sporadic firecrackers sounded one after another in the village, when the children's laughter came through the twilight. The days of saying goodbye to the old and ushering in the new start a new picture.
Until the New Year's Eve, Xu Yishan didn't think about where to go for the New Year.
Chen Xiaoqi didn't come back, and it was not fun for him to go to Chen Yong's house alone for the New Year.
Xu Xiu didn't come back, he didn't dare to face his father Xu Yishan.
?I originally planned to take advantage of the public holidays during the Chinese New Year to go to Malaysia to catch the heartless Sun Wu, but because of the regulations above, I couldn't make the trip.
According to regulations, half a day of work is required on New Year's Eve.
In fact, from the 29th onwards, the offices have moved about the same.
The office building of the county government, where people come and go, becomes extremely deserted in the blink of an eye.
In the morning, Xu Yishan went to the office.
He found that apart from him, there seemed to be no other person on the whole floor.
After ten o'clock in the morning, a few people came, but they all closed the door and did not come out. Usually stay for half an hour and then leave.
The cafeteria issued a notice three days ago that during the Spring Festival, the county party committee cafeteria will not be open.
If the cafeteria is closed, Xu Yishan will have no place to eat.
However, the small shops on the street, like joining in the fun, closed their doors two or three days ago.
Except for a few large-scale restaurants in the county town that were not closed because of the New Year's Eve dinner, the possibility of Xu Yishan looking for a small restaurant or a food stall to fill his stomach is zero.
The county where fireworks and firecrackers are banned, not only did not feel the festiveness of the New Year, but on the contrary, because many people chose to go back to the countryside for the New Year, the county was much deserted.
After eleven o'clock, Xu Yishan couldn't sit still anymore.
All the way out, all the offices were closed, and an office building became deserted and lifeless.
The security guard at the gate did his duty, and when he saw him coming out, he greeted him and said, "President Xu, you haven't gone home for the New Year yet?"
Xu Yishan quickly said: "I'm going home to celebrate the New Year."
Having said that, after leaving the county government compound and standing on the somewhat deserted and lonely road, he suddenly became dazed, not knowing where he was going.
A small car approached slowly and stopped close to him.
The car window was lowered, revealing Bai Yu's disappointed face.
"Where are you going? I'll see you off." She greeted Xu Yishan and motioned him to get in the car.
Xu Yishan smiled and said: "I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around."
Bai Yu smiled sweetly and said, "Others are busy celebrating the New Year at home, so you still have time to wander the streets?"
Xu Yishan countered her and said, "Don't you also drive around outside."
Bai Yu laughed and said, "You still tell me when you know it? You are also a fallen person in the world, do you have this feeling?"
Xu Yishan smiled, but said nothing.
After Bai Yu's husband went abroad, he never came back. Counting it, her husband has not been back for five years.
For the past five years, Bai Yu has always brought her children to spend the New Year with her parents-in-law.
After her job was transferred to the county, the relationship with her parents-in-law became tense.
Her father-in-law's family strongly opposed her coming to work in the county. But Bai Yu insisted on coming, so the relationship became delicate.
To put it bluntly, she has nowhere to go during the Chinese New Year.
Under Bai Yu's urging, Xu Yishan got into her car anyway.
"Where are you going?" Xu Yishan asked.
"Didn't you say, wander around?" Bai Yu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I'll take you for a stroll."
Xu Yishan glanced at the street, on the usually busy street, there was hardly a single car.
Every New Year's Eve is different and very special.
People travel thousands of miles to come back to reunite with their families just to enjoy the momentary warmth of the day.
Waiting until tomorrow's New Year's Day, there will suddenly be more cars on the street.
Just the two of them strolling on the street in a car seemed a little awkward.
Bai Yu drove forward aimlessly without making a sound, and the two of them did not speak, each thinking about his own thoughts.
Xu Yishan suddenly asked: "Isn't he celebrating the New Year with you?"
Bai Yu shook his head and said, "He has his own home."
"It's irresponsible for him to tease you even though he has a family."
Bai Yu turned her head, took a deep look at him, with a strange smile on her face, and said, "Why did you say such a thing suddenly?"
It's not surprising that Bai Yu was surprised, even though they all knew what Xu Yishan was talking about in their hearts.
But in the past, Xu Yishan never brought up such a topic.
Even if Bai Yu told him what was buried in his heart, he just smiled faintly after hearing it, and did not make any remarks.
"I just don't think it's fair." Xu Yishan said: "He has a family and a wife, and he did such a thing, it's shameless."
"Isn't this the greatest wish of you men?" Bai Yu said with a half-smile, "Men eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot."
Xu Yishan argued: "You can't overturn a boatload of people with one stick. Not everyone is the same."
"If all men are as successful as he is, I don't think any man will be content with himself."
"As I said, you can't overturn a boatload of people with one stick. For example, I'm not like him."
"That's because you haven't succeeded yet." Bai Yu said with a faint smile, "Yishan, don't blame me for speaking too directly. Although your wife Chen Xiaoqi is a rare beauty in the world, you will always feel that other people's wives better than your own."
"I won't."
Bai Yu burst out laughing and said, "That's not the time yet."
While chatting, his cell phone rang suddenly.
Xu Yishan glanced at the phone number, it was very strange.
Just as he was about to hang up, Bai Yu said, "Pick it up, I'm calling you at this time, they should be acquaintances."
Xu Yishan reluctantly opened the answer, and after only hearing one sentence, his expression became complicated. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
