January 22, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month in 2011, is New Year’s Eve.

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

But you can still feel some of the flavor of the year.

When Wen Liang woke up early in the morning, he saw Wang Wanhua burning incense and praying for blessings next to the TV cabinet in the living room according to the custom of celebrating the New Year in Jiangxia City.

I remember that when my family moved to the city when I was a child, the process of celebrating new years and festivals was always so simple.

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

This is probably a new custom that gradually formed after the ban on setting off fireworks and firecrackers in the city.

Wen Liang didn't stay in other cities for long, but he didn't know if it would be the same.

Wang Wanhua's cooking skills can give her a headache, so on days like New Year's Eve, Wen Ruiguo is always the one cooking.

Li Rang, who had gotten up earlier than Wen Liang, was now dragging Wen Liang around by the corner of his clothes, his mouth full but not chewing.

Seeing Wen Liang lowering his head and looking over, Li Rang quickly poked both sides of his face with his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, am I like that little hamster?"

Wen Liang shook his head deliberately: "No."

Then Wen Liang smiled and said: "Our Jean is much cuter than the hamster."

Li Rang was so amused that he finished the candy in his mouth.

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

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

During the holidays, Comrade Wen Ruiguo does not keep a straight face. He is just used to being serious at work.

No, Wen Liang had just laid out the eight dishes that had been cooked. Wen Ruiguo held a big bowl and shouted: "Here comes the fish, let's live together~"

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

Li Rang nodded with a smile.

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

The old Wen family did not have all the details at the dinner table. Wen Ruiguo cut off the whole fish and gave each person a piece. He said with a smile: "Eat the fish and you will have more every year."

Wang Wanhua helped Li Rang prepare the fish.

Li Rang waited obediently.

Wen Liang only felt that it was the most appropriate decision to leave Li Rang's child in Yangcheng for the New Year.

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

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

Both parties have WiFi, the video call quality is good, no intermittent, and the picture quality is also good.

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

"I've eaten so much~ I can't even hold it in my stomach~"

"Dad~"

"..."

At the age of 5, Li Rang's ability to express himself has become very clear, and he is now starting to become independent.

Li Rang gestured, Wen Liang, Wang Wanhua, and Wen Ruiguo chimed in with jokes.

The whole family was enjoying themselves through the video call.

With the "inheritance" relationship of Wang Wanhua → Wang Wanyu → Wen Liang → Li Rang, 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: "I want to go out to play."

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

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

Wen Ruiguo and Wang Wanhua naturally have no objection.

…………

Relatively speaking, the New Year flavor in Yangcheng is quite good.

More people than most big cities.

There is less of the sight of the city being empty during the Chinese New Year.

We drove all the way across the Pearl River to Haizhu. There were a lot of people here today, and the square on the ground was noisy.

Wen Liang queued up and bought three tickets with ease. Li Rang was less than 1.2 meters tall, so he could get a free ticket.

Then we queued up to enter the sightseeing elevator, and in just 1 minute and 45 seconds, we boarded the indoor sightseeing hall on the first level sightseeing platform at the top of the tower located at 428 meters.

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

And the world's highest viewing platform at 488 meters, where you can have a 360-degree unobstructed view of the entire Yangcheng city, and you can see the prosperity of the entire Yangcheng city.

List of small hills.

From the first level of the sightseeing platform, Li Rang wisely lowered his cheers.

Climbing to the 488-meter viewing platform, Wen Liang set up his SLR, and with the prosperity of the entire city of Yangcheng as the background, he left a mark at the top of the sky on the Lunar New Year's Eve of 2011.

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

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

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

Later.

Wen Liang took out the New Year's bag he had prepared early and handed one to Li Rang: "Rang Rang, I wish you happiness every day."

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

Then, Wen Liang took out another one and handed it to Wen Ruiguo: "Dad, thank you for your hard work."

Then it was Wang Wanhua: "Mom, I've left you to worry."

Wen Ruiguo and Wang Wanhua both smiled and accepted their sons' filial piety.

"Wen Liang, you will be 20 years old after the Chinese 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 I am in Yangcheng, far away from my hometown, there is still a sense of family reunion during the Chinese New Year.

Wen Liang was sincerely pleased.

It also made Wen Liang become lazy all of a sudden.

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

Wen Liang took Li Rang and placed a fireworks tube on the balcony, officially bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.

…………

…………

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

Wen Liang and his family got up early again and prepared a more sumptuous breakfast.

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

"Farewell to 2011 and usher in 2012. On this occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, I would like to wish you happiness every day with this glass of wine."

"Wen Liang, I wish you success in your career and peace every year."

"..."

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

After breakfast, the whole family was busy.

Wen Ruiguo and Wang Wanhua's New Year's greeting calls were received by people of all ages.

The text message notification tone kept ringing.

After all, they are both small leaders.

Everyone from top to bottom will take advantage of the Chinese New Year to keep in touch.

However, Comrade Lao Wen was very satisfied with his current position. He only exchanged simple greetings with his superiors and did nothing else.

Nor is it an axis.

But I think this location is quite good.

No need to flatter you.
