Xu Manman was in the crowd, sometimes marveling at the exquisite ice sculptures in front of her, and sometimes laughing with the people around her because of the fall of the young skater.
At midnight, fireworks were set off by the river. The light dispelled the darkness and illuminated the longing faces of the people.
Amidst the brilliant fireworks, let us welcome a future full of hope.
Leaving the bustling crowd and returning to the train station, Xu Manman did not leave immediately.
Arriving at the train station, I checked the train schedule again. According to the last transcription, the route was the same, but the train schedule had changed.
Xu Manman put down her notebook, felt relieved, and turned back to the alley.
I walked for so long today, so of course I have to make some food to nourish myself!
And the atmosphere is so lively today, so of course we have to eat something spicy to suit the occasion.
Xu Manman prepared a luxurious spicy hot pot: potatoes, lettuce, frozen tofu, eggplant, bean sprouts, luncheon meat, dried shrimp, pig blood, Chinese sausage, pig ears, pig intestines, fatty beef, fish cakes...
Spicy, numb, and prosperous.
Xu Manman was sweating profusely while eating. She kept drinking ice milk tea to relieve the spiciness, but she couldn't help but keep eating.
Finally, a bowl of ice milk dumplings brought a perfect end to the day.

After the Lantern Festival, my cousin still stayed at the educated youth camp.
The 16th literacy class started, and he went back to the village in the afternoon to attend the class. He said that he had reported to the village chief again and moved his luggage to Zhang Yuan's house in the evening.
He would move back after he officially started working, so the two good brothers officially started living together.
After two days of staying alone in the empty room, Lin Zuxin met his old love.
On the third day after the fifteenth day, Li Mao and Wan Fang came back.
Yes! They came back together.
Their hometowns are not together, but they can still come back together, which is very telling.
The next day, Xu Manman's idea was confirmed. Li Mao found Uncle Dawei, who had made the kang for them, and began to renovate the empty room between Zhan Tianqi and Xue Mingxin.
At the same time, they distributed wedding candy to everyone at the educated youth camp and officially announced that he and Wan Fang had obtained their marriage certificate and were from now on a legal revolutionary couple! Once the room was ready, they would move out of the large bunk bed.
Xu Manman was impressed! This guy is amazing, he does great things without making any noise.
Liu Hua was stunned. "Sister Fang! When did this happen?"
"I've been in the countryside for four years and have known each other for four years. I've gotten to know him pretty well, so I thought I'd take advantage of this New Year holiday to settle things with my elders." Speaking of this, Wan Fang still felt a little embarrassed.
"Because we were both working in the countryside here, living far away from each other, and we had known each other for such a long time, his parents suggested that we just get married and live our own lives from now on."
"Ah? So you're holding the party in your hometown?"
"Yes, we had a wedding banquet before I came." From Wan Fang's face, one could clearly see the joy of the newlyweds and the anticipation for the future.
"How are the betrothal gifts and dowry calculated?" The person who asked this question was Xu Meili, who was usually very quiet, but she suddenly asked about such a private topic. It seemed that she really cared about it.
Xu Manman thought about her and Lin Zuxin, and it seemed that they also had the idea of getting married.
Wan Fang did not hide it and said it openly, "Our two families are not well off, and we have many children. We will have to squeeze in to live there.
When we got married, their family gave us 100 yuan. My parents told me to keep it for myself and gave me another 50 yuan. But from now on, anything in the family will have nothing to do with us. "Wan Fang's expression was calm; she had anticipated this arrangement.
"It's not bad. It's like a separate family. We live far away from each other and there won't be any conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
Xu Manman felt that this was indeed an acceptable approach. Both sets of parents had limited financial resources, and fifty-one hundred was not a small sum of money for them. The fact that they could come up with it showed that they both took the matter very seriously.
Moreover, what they get is the most tangible. They come to the countryside here to live their own lives.
Xu Meili seemed to be lost in thought, but she didn't say anything.
Wan Fang glanced at her, smiled knowingly, and turned around to continue chatting with Liu Hua and the others.
Yes, they have known each other for much longer than the new educated youth, and they sleep on the same kang every day. What could they hide from each other?
After a few days, the others also came back, and the educated youth point was finally full of people.
Because the temperature is low now, it is more difficult to repair the kang, so the progress is much slower than when they first started.
The young couple still lived separately in the dormitory, but the atmosphere between them was obviously different from that before the New Year.
