Chapter 100 New Year's New Weather

January 1, the 22th day of the twelfth lunar month in 2011 in the lunar calendar, New Year's Eve.

Xinyu Garden, located in the central city, can hardly hear the sound of firecrackers welcoming New Year's Eve in the morning.

But still can feel some old taste.

When Wen Liang got up early in the morning, he saw Wang Wanhua burning incense beside the TV cabinet in the living room to pray for blessings according to the New Year's habit in Jiangxia City.

In my memory, my family moved to the city when I was a child, and the process of celebrating the New Year has always been so simple.

Standing in the living room, you can also smell the incense from some rooms on other floors.

Probably this is a new custom gradually formed after setting off fireworks and firecrackers was banned in the city.

Wen Liang didn't stay long in other cities, but I don't know if it will be the same.

Wang Wanhua's level of cooking can cause her own headaches, so on days like New Year's Eve, it is always Wen Ruiguo who cooks.

Li Rang, who got up earlier than Wen Liang, was now shaking Wen Liang's clothes around, with his mouth full but not chewing.

Seeing Wen Liang looked down, Li Rang quickly poked his cheeks with his hands, and said with a smile: "Brother, am I the same as that little hamster?"

Wen Liang deliberately shook his head: "No."

Then Wen Liang smiled: "Our Rang Rang is much cuter than a hamster."

Li Rang was so happy to be teased that he finished eating the candy in his mouth.

Early in the morning, Li let the clear and crisp child's voice spread from here to there, adding a special vitality to the morning of New Year's Eve.

Even Comrade Wen Ruiguo, who is always serious, had a smile on his face.

During the holidays, Comrade Wen Ruiguo doesn't keep a straight face, he's just used to being serious at work.

No, just as Wen Liang put the 8 dishes out of the pot, Wen Ruiguo held a big bowl and yelled: "The fish is here, let's work together~"

Then, Wen Ruiguo took off his apron and sat down cheerfully: "Pour Rang Rang a glass of milk first."

Li Rang smiled and nodded his head.

Afterwards, Wen Ruiguo picked up the small wine glass and looked at the three of them: "Come on, let's have a drink."

The old Wen’s family didn’t pay much attention to the dinner table. Wen Ruiguo cut off the whole fish and gave each person a piece. He said with a smile: “Eating fish will make you more than enough every year.”

Wang Wanhua helped Li Rang organize the fish.

Li Rang waited obediently.

Wen Liang only felt that it was the most appropriate decision for Li to let the children stay in Yangcheng for the New Year.

In his memory, he has not had such a lively Chinese New Year scene for many, many years.

After a hearty breakfast, Wen Liang made a video call to Wang Wanyu.

There was WiFi on both sides, and the quality of the video call was good, without stuttering, and the picture quality was decent.

Looking at Wang Wanyu on the screen of the phone, Li Rangbi gestured and said, "Mom, mom, have you eaten yet?"

"I ate a lot~ my stomach can't fit~"

"Dad~"

"..."

The 5-year-old Li Rang's expressive ability is already very clear, and now he is starting to be independent.

Li Rang gestured, and Wen Liang, Wang Wanhua, and Wen Ruiguo interjected and laughed.

Through the video call, the whole family enjoyed themselves happily.

With Wang Wanhua → Wang Wanyu → Wen Liang → Li Rang's "inheritance" relationship, the relationship between the old Wen family and the old Li family is naturally quite close.

We chatted happily for more than half an hour.

As soon as the call ended, Wen Liang hugged Li Rang, and Li Rang immediately danced and said, "I'm going out to play."

"It's been a long time since I've been in Yangcheng, and I haven't taken you to Xiaomanyao yet. Let's go and have a look today." Wen Liang asked Li Rang for his opinion.

Li Rang clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay, okay."

Wen Ruiguo and Wang Wanhua naturally had no objections.

…………

Relatively speaking, the taste of the New Year in Yangcheng is quite sufficient.

More people than most big cities.

The scene where people in the city go to empty buildings during the Chinese New Year is missing.

We drove all the way across the Pearl River to Haizhu. There were a lot of people in the middle of the day, and the square on the ground was full of noise.

Wen Liang familiarly lined up to buy three tickets. Li Rang was less than 1 meters, so he was free of charge.

Then queue up to enter the sightseeing elevator, and after just 1 minute and 45 seconds, board the first-level sightseeing platform on the top of the tower - the indoor sightseeing hall at 428 meters.

Then there are 433-meter, 450-meter, and 460-meter Ferris wheels.

And the world's highest viewing platform at 488 meters, where you can overlook the whole city of Yangcheng without obstacles at 360 degrees, and you can see the prosperity of the whole city of Yangcheng.

List of small hills.

From the first level sightseeing platform, Li Rang lowered his cheers very sensiblely.

On the 488-meter viewing platform, Wen Liang set up the SLR camera. With the prosperity of the whole city of Yangcheng as the background, he left the imprint of the high-altitude peak on the Lunar New Year's Eve in 2011.

At the end of the day, Li Rang was fine, but Wen Liang was a little tired.

Mainly Wen Liang hugged Li Rang for a large part of the time to avoid any accidents.

On New Year's Eve, Wen Liang took Li Rang's children to set off some small fireworks that were allowed to be set off in the courtyard of the community to celebrate the passing of 2011.

later.

Wen Liang took out the New Year's bag that he had prepared earlier, and handed one to Li Rang: "Rang Rang, I wish you a happy day."

"Thank you brother~" Li Rang's black and white eyes rolled around, and he took the red envelope with both hands, very happy.

Afterwards, Wen Liang took out another one and handed it to Wen Ruiguo: "Dad, you have worked hard."

And Wang Wanhua again: "Mom, I made you worry."

Both Wen Ruiguo and Wang Wanhua accepted their son's respect with a smile.

"Wen Liang, you will be 20 years old after the new year. You have to be busy with your career, but don't be too tired. At your current age, living happily is more important than making money."

"Yes, I know."

"..."

Although in Yangcheng, far away from home, the family reunion of the New Year's Eve has a lot of flavor.

Wen Liang is sincerely pleased.

It also made Wen Liang lazy all of a sudden.

At 11 o'clock, according to the traditional timing, the Spring Festival has arrived.

Wen Liang pulled Li Rang to put a firework tube on the balcony, officially saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

…………

…………

The first day of the first month of the lunar calendar in 2012, the Spring Festival.

Wen Liang's family got up early again to prepare a richer breakfast.

At the dinner table, Wen Ruiguo, who was still the head of the family, offered a cup first.

"Send off 2011 and usher in 2012. On the occasion of saying goodbye to the old and ushering in the new, I wish you happiness every day with this glass of wine."

"Wen Liang, I wish you a smooth career and a safe year."

"..."

Even though it was only one night, the whole country felt like a new year and a new atmosphere.

After breakfast, the whole family was busy.

Wen Ruiguo and Wang Wanhua's phone calls for New Year's greetings are numerous.

The text message notification tone is even more incessant.

After all, both are small leaders.

Up and down will take advantage of the New Year's Eve to keep in touch.

However, Old Comrade Wen was very satisfied with his current position, so he just had simple greetings with his superiors and did nothing else.

Neither is the axis.

But I think this location is very good.

No need for flattery.

……

Of course Wen Liang is also very busy, first he took Li Rang to pay New Year greetings to Wang Wanyu via video.

Then there are endless phone calls.

Friends such as Chen Jiaxin and Li Ze almost all called quickly.

At least prepare a basket for greetings.

It can only be said that after dealing with this, we have to deal with that.

Later, there were calls and text messages from some acquaintances.

In comparison, Wen Liang, who is still a college student, and his friends of the same age still pay more attention to this sense of ritual in New Year's greetings.

Anyway, as someone who has been there, Wen Liang can't tell clearly whether the overall environment has changed a lot after a few years, making everyone lose the habit of greeting, or whether they are just in that age group.

The first call I received was from Liang Yameng.

There is no special arrangement for cooperative advertisements during the Spring Festival.

Liang Yameng, who had made a lot of money last year, greeted the New Year with a smile, and said: "Thank you Mr. Wen for your care. After thinking about it, there is nothing to give away. If there is any cooperation in the future, just arrange it."

Wen Liang smiled and said, "I also thank you on behalf of the company."

Maybe it was the festive day of the Spring Festival, Liang Ya talked a little more, and mentioned some kind of special treatment for her to go home during the New Year.

"I didn't feel the crowd brought by Internet celebrities at school, but I only felt it when I got home."

"Students from high school dozens of kilometers away all came to my house."

"I was really intimidated at first."

"How should I put it, I feel that when I was admitted to Huagong, it didn't make people feel so strange."

"My parents mentioned many times that I want to thank you. After all, you gave me a relatively unique life experience."

"..."

Listening to Liang Yameng's chatter, Wen Liang smiled.

Along the way, those things that have been done have left many interesting traces.

In the end, Wen Liang only said: "Look forward in the new year."

"Haha, that sounds like Mr. Wen." Liang Ya smiled happily, "By the way, keep a low profile when you enter the school, I saw a lot of people in some alumni groups are very curious about you .”

Wen Liang was puzzled: "Huh?"

Liang Yameng smiled and explained: "It was a coincidence that you chose to donate shares to the school's Education Development Foundation for free on the first day after the holiday, which made countless alumni regret that they could not see it in person."

"As far as I know, at least since the beginning of the new century, there has been no precedent for students in our school to donate shares in their own start-up company, and it is a somewhat famous Internet company."

Wen Liang: "..."

"Understood, it really became famous in the whole school by accident."

To put it bluntly, the phone call took less than 10 minutes.

After finishing the call, Wen Liang also saw some people's text messages, such as Deng Pei and Huang Xixi's New Year's greeting text messages.

You can see the taste of smallness between the lines.

Both Lixia and Wan'an sent New Year's greetings text messages.

The former is very careful with words.

The latter is also careful with his words, but Wen Liang clearly sees the taste of being cautious.

Wen Liang couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This Wanmi!"

"..."

In addition, Wen Liang also took the initiative to pay New Year's greetings to Professor Chang on the phone. Finally, after thinking about it, he still only sent New Year's greetings to the principal through text messages.

After this busy work, it was about 10:30 in the morning.

Then everyone packed up and went out for a walk.

On the way, Wang Wanhua seldom said: "Wen Liang, in fact, this time you should go home for the New Year, so it will be more lively."

"It doesn't matter, it will be more lively when you go home for the Chinese New Year this year." Wen Liang said confidently with a big wave of his hand.
