February 10, 2013, the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.

After today, 2012 will be completely changed, whether it is based on the solar calendar or the lunar calendar;

In the minds of Chinese people, the lunar year is far more important than the solar year, which is New Year's Day;

This can also be seen from the national holiday times;

New Year's Day only lasts three days, while the Lunar New Year lasts seven days.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the New Year celebrations have already begun in the north;

Perhaps, in Qianzhou, the New Year atmosphere has already entered since the eve of the New Year.

On the 28th and 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the whole village is preparing for the New Year;

Sacrifice the stove, clean the whole house, settle the gods, take a bath, put up Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, eat New Year's Eve dinner, watch the New Year's Eve, give New Year's money, pay New Year's greetings, visit temple fairs, lion dance

…

Liu Wei has been in the spotlight these days. Ma Yibo only used the car he drove back once, which was to pick up Ma Huijia and Ma Yihuan from the airport;

After that, the BMW became Liu Wei’s exclusive car;

Not returning home is like wearing brocade clothes that travel at night;

For Liu Wei and even the Liu Wei family, this year indeed requires a high profile and everyone needs to be told that there are still people in my old Liu family.

Only a sound that sounded like muffled thunder was heard, and then a silver snake immediately rose into the sky and exploded in the sky, like a blooming flower.

The flowers looked at people shyly and faded little by little in the night.

When the other fireworks below saw that the flowers were so favored and Jian Zhi became the "proud one of heaven", they swarmed up unconvinced and showed off their most beautiful figures in the sky like a demonstration, as if they were paying homage to the flowers left in the sky. sarcasm with a smiling face.

That's right, Liu Wei bought a lot of fireworks this year, I heard it cost four to five thousand yuan, which made the jaws of Wei Donghong and Jing Jing, who went together last time, drop;

It was also because I bought so much that there was no room for it in the trunk of the BMW, so the boss selling fireworks and firecrackers took the initiative to deliver them to my door in his own pickup truck.

At first, Liu’s mother didn’t know what was going on and thought they were people selling firecrackers on the street. Unexpectedly, they all unloaded their goods at their house.

When she learned that Liu Wei had spent nearly 5,000 yuan, Liu's mother also cursed her as a prodigal, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face;

Only she knows how difficult it is for her to manage the entire family by herself for so many years;

Now, her son has grown up and can support a sky. This sky is bigger, higher and safer than what she gave him.

The first person to set off fireworks in the village was Liu Wei. When it was still dark, Liu Wei set off the kaleidoscope, which lasted for four minutes;

Just this bucket of kaleidoscope costs close to one thousand yuan. Can the duration be interrupted?

With the sound of "cracking", the fireworks soared into the sky, and colorful fireworks flew up and down. Some were like goddesses scattering flowers, and some were flying like signals, flickering on and off, colorful.

The most beautiful thing is that the fireworks fly into the sky and turn into a big peony flower. In the blink of an eye, the flower turns into countless small flowers, spreading out in all directions, changing in unpredictable ways.

Sometimes yellow, sometimes red, like a group of ever-changing butterflies flying high in the sky.

Then there was the sound of firecrackers blasting;

When firecrackers go off, there is a thousand taels of gold;

After a burst of firecrackers, the flower arrangement began.

Several very long firecrackers crackled for seven or eight minutes. After a period of silence, there was a dazzling light and a loud boom, and then the salute was heard.

The salute was deafening, and as soon as it ended, the exciting moment began.

Fireworks like this one appeared in the sky. Some of them scattered with a loud bang in the air;

Some fireballs rose into the sky with a ribbon of fire, and their colors were different;

There is a fireball that goes up to the sky and scatters many small fireballs. The small fireballs run around and look very flexible and cute.

Some of these fireworks look like chrysanthemums, and some look like unopened parachutes.

They are red, green, and golden. They are really colorful and dazzling.

The sound of firecrackers in the whole village started one after another, making it very lively;

At this time, Baishui Village was immersed in the crackling sound of firecrackers and the roar of fireworks after they took off and exploded from time to time;

It’s really lively;

Whether they are adults or children, at this moment, they have forgotten all their worries, and some are yearning for the future.

Ma Yibo was not to be outdone. Although he did not buy too much this year, he still bought more than two thousand yuan. In the village, except for Liu Wei, the nouveau riche, Ma Yibo's family had the largest number;

Perhaps other uninformed people think that Liu Wei is better off than Ma Yibo?

Why?

Who doesn't want to be number one? If you are doing well, why don't you have as many firecrackers as others?

However, Ma Yibo didn't care about this;

The Chinese New Year is a sign of meaning;

The most important thing is that the mood is clear and the family is reunited.

The sound of fireworks and firecrackers lasted for a full hour in Baishui Village, and the sound from Liu Wei's house took up more than half of the time, which shows Liu Wei's mood this year.

After the fireworks are over, New Year greetings to the elders begin;

When he was young, Ma Yibo liked this link the most because it was a link that generated income for himself;

What does it mean to pay New Year greetings? It means receiving red envelopes;

With red envelopes, children can do many things;

Favorite toys, brand new schoolbag, newly bought pencil case.

…

But now, Ma Yibo has grown up. Although he is no longer interested in red envelopes, Ma Yibo still likes this aspect very much;

It used to be for red envelopes, but now it's for reunion.

Reunion and reunion are called Chinese New Year.

SMS, before WeChat became popular, was the only option to send blessings;

How many people have experienced sending group blessing text messages on the night of New Year’s Eve or the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year? According to statistics, the number of New Year text messages sent in 2013 reached 31.1 billion;

Whether it is business dealings or blessings from relatives and friends, mass text messages are inevitably caused;

At one time, the networks of the three major operators were so congested that it took dozens of minutes or even half an hour to send a text message;

This shows the madness of texting.

Now, in 2013, WeChat has not yet reached the level of later generations. Many people do not have WeChat, and text messages are still mainstream;

Just today, Ma Yibo received no less than a hundred text messages from college classmates, high school classmates, colleagues and business partners;

For group text messages, Ma Yibo also chooses some people with whom he has good relationships to reply. With others, he only sends text messages once a year.

"Mr. Ma, I wish you a happy Spring Festival, reunion and harmony";

Xiang Qin, who is far away in Yangcheng, is holding his mobile phone, as if he is texting or making a phone call;

Xiang Qin and Duan Lang have the same idea, they both want to seize the platform of Aunt Qin;

They all know that their foundation is weak, but they are just lucky enough to join Aunt Qin in advance, otherwise they would never have the income and status they have now;

The most important thing is that the future is promising;

Colleagues, Xiang Qin still has a little fantasy about their boss, and Xiang Qin doesn’t know whether that fantasy is good or bad;

But when things go wrong at work or in life, that fantasy becomes the motivation that supports her to continue working hard;

During the Chinese New Year this year, Xiang Qin’s family of three did not choose to go home to celebrate the New Year;

Perhaps, in Xiang Qin's mind, they are already homeless;

The house in my hometown is dilapidated, and there are very few relatives and friends;

Because of his father's experiences in the past two years, Xiang Qin has also seen too much of the fickle world, and some things should be thrown away.

Therefore, Xiang Qin is also guarding the store this year.

However, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of the New Year, and everyone in Aunt Qin has a day off, and Xiang Qin also rarely gets a break.

"Sister, why don't you answer me when I ask you a question? Just hold a cell phone";

"sister"?

Xiang Yan, who was watching the Spring Festival Gala, said to her sister beside her, but she called twice but received no reply;

At this time, Xiang Qin has been struggling with a question: should he call his boss or send a text message?

Every time the call went through, I hung up directly. I did this over and over again seven or eight times;

It can be seen that there is an inner conflict in the relationship.

In the end, he didn't work up the courage to make a call, but instead sent a text message, which was the text message Ma Yibo received;

Simple, but without losing warmth.
