Winter break doesn't seem to go by too fast, but it doesn't seem to take by too slow either.
Before we knew it, half of the time had already passed.
Every day, Yu Mobai would either go out with Feng Linhao to wander around aimlessly or go upstairs to tease the two girls.
Thanks to his efforts, Dong Yike has almost fully recovered.
It's quite exciting to give each other a little kiss now and then.
Ji Mushu doesn't really pay attention to him.
This girl is so stubborn; I guess I'll have to find a different way to deal with her.
However, one time when Ji Mushu went to the bathroom, he opened the glass jar on her table and secretly took a star from it.
I only opened it and glanced at it after I got home.
"Yu Mobai, go to hell, you bastard!"
Wow, this girl has quite a bit of resentment.
Yu Mobai shook his head, wondering why there was still so much resentment after all this time.
In this holiday rhythm, we arrived at Lunar New Year's Eve.
The festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is strong in this small county town in northern China.
Even before the Lunar New Year, stalls selling fireworks and firecrackers appeared.
Many children like to buy a lot of these, stuff them in their pockets, find a secluded corner, and light them.
This resulted in the smell of gunpowder from firecrackers being able to be smelled in the streets and alleys.
This also made it easier for everyone to get home.
Yu Mobai also carried some firecrackers home, and then took over the work from Old Yu to put up Spring Festival couplets and paste the character "福" (fortune).
"The Ji family is having quite a lively year."
In the kitchen, Yu Jinsheng said with a smile, "We have one more woman, and one more daughter."
"That's good. It must have been tough for Lao Ji to carry a wooden comb around all by himself."
Zheng Zhaoxia sighed, "I heard that Dong Muhong's background isn't very good either."
Yu Mobai was in the living room listening to his parents chatting about everyday things, while the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV.
The afternoon was spent surrounded by the aroma of food.
They usually have their New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon. After the family of three finishes eating, they start preparing the dumpling filling for the evening.
At 8 p.m. sharp, the Spring Festival Gala began.
At this time, everyone still really enjoys watching the Spring Festival Gala. Various skits emerge one after another, and the hot words of the year basically come from the skits, which become popular all over the country after the Spring Festival Gala.
Whenever a skit is performed, someone will shout, "A skit is being performed! A skit is being performed! Come and see!"
However, everyone's favorite is still Zhao Benshan's skits, which are definitely the grand finale.
Whenever Zhao Benshan's skit is about to start, the ratings for the previous program increase significantly.
No matter what you're doing, you obediently sit in front of the TV and wait.
"National Television, at this moment, there are less than four hours left until the arrival of another Year of the Ox. I believe that families all over the country are celebrating Lunar New Year's Eve and welcoming the Year of the Ox with great joy!"
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)
"Wherever you are, please accept our greetings: On this grandest traditional festival of the Chinese nation, we wish you all a Happy New Year!"
As the Spring Festival Gala began, the whole family sat neatly in front of the sofa.
Yu Mobai took out his phone and started sending text messages. He sent a message to his instructor, Yan Sumin, and Yan Wenbin, and even to the leader from the Ministry of Education.
Next were Yu Xinran, Zhao Yunfei, and the people from Qi Moliang's company.
He directly edited a mass text message for the remaining members.
Of course, Yan Moxuan wasn't forgotten either; the text message sent to that little vixen was so brilliant that anyone who saw it would have to praise it as insightful.
Finally, he sent two different text messages to Ji Mushu and Dong Yike separately.
He quickly received several text message replies.
It turned out to be a blessing from Yan Wenbin, probably forwarded from somewhere. He only glanced at it briefly.
Not long after, Yan Moxuan called.
Yu Mobai went out onto the balcony to answer the phone, "Hello, Senior Yan."
"Happy Chinese New Year, junior."
Perhaps because she was at home, Yan Moxuan was quite normal.
"Happy Chinese New Year, senior."
Yu Mobai smiled and asked, "Did you miss me?"
"Um."
Yan Moxuan gave a soft "hmm," then said shyly, "I can't sleep because I'm thinking about you."
"Me too, my hands get itchy every night when I can't sleep alone."
So you want to applaud?
"It still has to be you, senior."
Yu Mobai laughed, "You can handle anything I say."
"Hmph, it's all because of you that I've been corrupted."
Yan Moxuan said coquettishly, "My mom is calling me, I'm not talking to you anymore, bye-bye junior."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Moxuan stared at her phone, biting her lip, then checked the time, looking conflicted.
After a long pause, she finally sent a message.
Happy New Year, sister.
...
After sending the text message, Yu Mobai returned to the sofa and watched TV.
At this time, viewers had not yet been impacted by short videos and were mostly able to sit quietly in front of the television and watch TV.
At this stage, the skits won't be overly sentimental; the main focus will be on bringing joy.
This is the time when the festive atmosphere is strongest. Before 11 o'clock, the sound of firecrackers outside is deafening, and you can't even hear the TV.
The noise lasted for about an hour, and then it quieted down outside when Zhao Benshan's skit started airing.
Then, at midnight, it started playing again.
"Son, starting this year, the task of setting off firecrackers will be yours."
Yu Jinsheng said with a smile, "You've grown up now, it's time for you to take over."
Yu Mobai nodded and took the firecrackers downstairs.
