This is what they consider the best, but young people have already broadened their horizons and know not only about cream cakes but also about macarons.
Neither side is wrong, yet they are always arguing. When their understanding differs, they always end up with the same answer.
Lu Feng was helpless in the face of his parents' persuasion, and could only vaguely say that he would see. Of course, his parents knew that he was just stalling for time, and they gave him another round of persuasion.
"Mom, I'm rich now. Let me put it this way, let alone a beautiful woman from our county, even a foreign beauty, I could marry one without any problem," Lu Feng said, sounding slightly annoyed.
The two noticed Lu Feng's impatience and didn't say anything more.
The snow in the north is always so hard to melt. The heavy snow a few days ago still adorns this small town in white. Lunar New Year's Eve arrives slowly and steadily.
The sound of firecrackers pulled people out of their dreams. Children dressed in new clothes were everywhere on the streets and alleys. The Year of the Rat had arrived as scheduled. Lu Feng also put on a new outfit, but he wasn't as excited as the others.
The TV at home can only pick up CCTV and local city and county channels, which broadcast all sorts of congratulatory advertisements, making it quite boring.
For many people, such days are perfect for playing cards, and all sorts of gambling activities flourish, with people losing all the money they've saved up for a year in just a few days.
Lu Feng didn't know anyone. He was like a young man returning to his village more than 20 years later. To him, this was an island of social isolation.
As night fell, the sounds of firecrackers filled the air. After having dumplings for dinner, people lay half-reclined on the kang (a heated brick bed) watching TV idly. As the host, dressed in festive attire, walked out, children across the land cheered, while adults sighed that another year had passed.
Time is like the wheels of a car; once they start turning, they only get faster and faster.
This year is different from previous years. The host added a segment where they read an advertisement. Ni Ping said to the camera: "Speaking of the development of technology, we have to mention mobile phones. Jiaxun mobile phones offer free calls, affordable prices, and good signal..."
The words "free calls" immediately caught people's attention, but Lu Feng didn't care much. He felt a sense of nostalgia as he watched the Spring Festival Gala. This year's gala not only featured Pan Changjiang's classic "Crossing the River," but also Zhao Lirong's masterpiece "A Working Adventure."
When the familiar line, "Imperial Jade Liquor, 180 a cup," appeared, Lu Feng couldn't help but smile.
He didn't know what time it was when Lu Feng drifted off to sleep, his dreams intertwining the future and the present. He had had this dream countless times before. When he woke up, it was already the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Fangfang's family didn't have a good time this year. At 10 a.m. on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they asked the matchmaker to call and say that if Lu Feng couldn't pick them up, they could come by car themselves.
Before Lu Feng could refuse, the family of three arrived at his doorstep at 10:30. Lu Feng's parents naturally gave them a warm welcome, and it seemed that everyone was quite happy except for Lu Feng, who was the person involved.
Inside the house, Fangfang got dressed up, wearing a gray wool coat and getting her hair permed again. Overnight, she had transformed herself into a pretty girl in this small, third-tier city. Lu Feng washed his face and was called downstairs. After exchanging a few polite words, there was a knock on the door, and a man in his twenties stormed in.
"Who is it? It's Chinese New Year!" Lu Feng's father looked outside.
Lu Feng glanced around and saw that the person who came was the man who drove the Santana. Fangfang's expression changed drastically when she saw the man, and she said, "He might be looking for me. I'll go over there."
The man stood in the courtyard and shouted, "You think I've found a place? Wang Erfang, what do you take me for? Now that you've found a rich family, you're ignoring me? No way! If I don't have a good New Year, nobody else will either!"
Wang Erfang's parents looked extremely displeased and stood up to go out and chase him away. Seeing this, Lu Feng said, "It's alright, let him in during the New Year. He's a guest!"
"What's going on here?" Lu Feng's mother looked at the matchmaker.
