When I Have Money

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is getting more and more full, especially in the supermarket where you can see the big purchases of various families. The candy stalls in the supermarket where there were few people in the past are crowded with people on the eve of the Spring Festival.

There are also live chicken and duck stalls in the traditional vegetable market. There are long queues every morning on the eve of the Spring Festival. And at most ten o'clock every day, chickens, ducks, etc. are sold out. Chicken, duck, fish, these are all must-have dishes on the dinner table at the end of the year.

This year's Spring Festival is the same as usual, because the older generation in the family passed away a few years ago. Therefore, instead of going to the homes of the older generation on New Year's Eve, each household spends the New Year's Eve in their own homes and keeps watch. On the first day of the first day of the lunar new year, even if the prelude to visiting relatives and households was officially kicked off, they would go door-to-door until the seventh day of the new year.

Relatives in mother's family, relatives in father's family.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, Yang Kun had to get up early to accompany his parents to go to the traditional market, because only the traditional market sells live chickens and ducks, and the ones in the supermarket are all slaughtered.

After buying chickens and ducks, my father said, "It's almost done, just wait until tomorrow when I'm thirty to buy another fish."

Because fish is very particular about freshness, unlike chickens and ducks, it is roughly processed after being slaughtered today, and formally cooked tomorrow. The fish is bought on the same day and eaten on the same day. If it is kept in the refrigerator for a day, the fish will emit a fishy smell if it is not fresh.

Carrying the purchased ingredients, Yang Kun and his father walked towards the parking lot together, and he asked: "Before the 30th year of the year, no one said they want to get together?"

My father said: "We got together on New Year's Day, at your aunt's side (the family's civil servants). Maybe everyone saw that the Spring Festival was only a month away, and there was no reunion a year ago."

Yang Kun recalled when he was a child, when his mother-in-law and grandfather were all there, and at the age of 30, the whole family would gather together for a New Year's Eve dinner and wait to receive red envelopes. Now that there is no older generation, everyone is watching the new year in their own homes.

Yang Kun said: "It's been years since we got together for the New Year's Eve dinner."

My father nodded and said, "The taste of the new year is getting weaker and weaker. Our generation still has family ties. Now your generation, after you grow up, each have your own life. I feel that you The family relationship has become much weaker. You only get together during the New Year and holidays. I don’t see your brothers gathering or anything on weekdays. Let me tell you, you can call your brothers out to get together now, After all, your conditions are good, and you are the eldest brother."

In fact, Yang Kun, the so-called eldest brother, is only one year older than his younger brother. The remaining cousin, a cousin with the same surname, both of them are '92 years old'.

Yang Kun nodded and said, "Yes. Got it. I'll ask them to come out for dinner when I'm free."

The father said: "By the way, this year's niece's red envelope, you can pack 2,000 yuan. The family conditions are good. If you still give 1,000 yuan as before, it will be a bit..."

Yang Kun nodded and said, "I know."

My cousin, because the unit benefits are better, he married the same unit not long after he worked. The housing provident fund of the two together is almost 6,000 a month.

When they bought a house in the past, their parents each helped to pay a minimum down payment. At that time, the housing prices in the mountain city had not yet risen, and then the two of them used their provident funds to finance two houses. I have to say that it is a very smart choice for them to provide housing separately.

Now the housing prices in mountain cities are soaring. When they bought it, they bought it for more than 700,000 yuan and bought close to 100 square meters. Now it is more than 2.5 million yuan. The cousin who got married early made Yang Kun an uncle very early, but he didn't have much contact with him in normal times, and only saw him during the holidays.

In the thirties of the new year, there were only three of them in Yang Kun's big family. Tang Tian couldn't come to Huaxia because of his work. Because of several heavy snowfalls in January in Seoul, the shooting was delayed, and she had to wait until the middle of the month to finish shooting.

On the first New Year's Eve after moving to a new home, the lights at the confluence of the two rivers looked out from the living room were extraordinarily bright. Today, even if there is only a family of three for the New Year's Eve dinner, it is not sloppy at all. All kinds of family dishes made by the two parents, chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, and crab.

Poultry, seafood, a lot of the same. Mother picked a piece of fish and put it into Yang Kun's bowl: "I hope you will have more every year."

Father smiled and raised his red wine glass and said, "Come on, let's have a toast and celebrate our wonderful life."

The family raised their glasses and said: "Blessings for a beautiful life, cheers!"

Holding a wine glass and preparing to taste the red wine, the cell phone in Yang Kun's pocket suddenly rang. At first he thought it was a call from the Spring Festival, but Yang Kun saw that the caller was Tang Tian.

Yang Kun immediately switched to fluent Japanese and said: "Moshi Moxi, Mijia, are you on vacation?"

Tang Tian smiled and said, "Well, Kun Jiang, I'm at the airport now, and I'll arrive in your hometown, Shancheng in four hours. Hee hee, surprise?"

"Huh? When did you buy the ticket?"

Tang Tian responded with a sweet smile: "It's been a long time in advance. I asked my agent to help me buy it. After the New Year, you came to Seoul to accompany me to celebrate the new year. I told the agent the next day that the Spring Festival is off. Help me book a plane ticket to your hometown. Although I didn’t know if I could finish the work ahead of schedule, the three-day holiday of the Spring Festival will always be released, hehe.”

Yang Kun said: "Understood, then I will pick you up at the airport according to the time."

"Hearing your voice, it seems..."

Yang Kun said: "Don't think about it, I'm eating, my mouth is full of vegetables."

"Really? Then you remember to pick me up."

Yang Kun said, "Well, I'll pick you up later."

After hanging up the phone, the parents sitting next to him looked at Yang Kun in confusion, because in their impression, he didn't seem to be able to speak Japanese, right? Now you can speak Japanese so fluently?

After watching Yang Kun hang up, the mother said, "Did you call in Japanese just now?"

Yang Kun nodded and said, "Well, didn't you say that she is Japanese? What's wrong with me speaking Japanese?"

"When did you learn Japanese?"

Yang Kun responded quickly and said, "Well, I have been watching cartoons at home for so many years, and I have gradually learned a lot of Japanese. In addition, after being with her, I practice Japanese every day, so I will."

Hearing that he learned through cartoons, Yang Kun's father remembered the past, and he said with a smile: "I still remember when you were in junior high school, when the exams were approaching, you were still watching cartoons, and you were almost killed by your mother." Got hammered."

When Yang Kun was in junior high school, "Naruto", "Reaper" and "One Piece" were very popular at that time. Every day I went to school to chat with my classmates about the plots of these anime. From time to time, when I see the animations are exciting, I especially imitate the characters in the anime and speak Japanese lines.

It is estimated that in the memory of the parents, there are many incidents of Yang Kun committing crimes and speaking Japanese anime lines. And now, parents also know that Yang Kun wants to watch cartoons, they often say: You are almost thirty, you still watch cartoons?

So Yang Kun said that they can understand the Japanese he learned by watching TV. After all, in their eyes, Yang Kun has watched anime for more than ten years, and occasionally watches Japanese variety shows.

At this time, Yang Kun's head was in a mess. He said that he would bring her to China to play during the Spring Festival, so that she could feel the Spring Festival in China. At that time, Yang Kun was thinking that if she came, he would simply use the excuse of work not to go home. Anyway, he could experience the Chinese New Year anywhere.

Suddenly, what did she do to come to the mountain city in such a sudden surprise? On weekdays, Yang Kun would at most take her to meet his parents. Even if the parents ask about it in the future, they can solve it by saying a word and breaking up.

But, it's the Spring Festival now, it's a festival when everyone gets together, how could he suddenly appear with a woman?

If a man brings a woman to the Spring Festival party of his big family, it probably means that it has to be settled. When you are not completely sure that it is this person, it is rare to bring a woman to the Spring Festival party at your home, right?

Of course, there are also some people who will take their girlfriends home with them in order to deal with the three soul questions of the seven aunts and eight aunts during the Spring Festival, even if they have not completely decided that it is this person.

Isn't there a situation where you rent your girlfriend to go home for the New Year? It's just that now that this issue has been brought to the screen, the matter of renting a girlfriend for the Chinese New Year has disappeared.

Yang Kun smiled when his father talked about the embarrassment that he was almost beaten while watching cartoons. The mother said at this time: "Well, why don't you make a video call with your girlfriend, let me meet too?"

Yang Kun shook his head and said, "Why are you still watching the video? She is at the airport in South Korea right now. She called me just now to tell me that she plans to come to the mountain city, but there are only three days of vacation, and she will return to South Korea in the third year of junior high school."

When my mother heard that he was going to come to China from a long distance, and she only had three days of vacation, she became extra energetic: "Oh? Your girlfriend is coming, okay, okay, it's just the Spring Festival and our family Look at her."

The "look" in the mother's mouth here is a question, but Yang Kun smiled helplessly: "She doesn't understand what you say. You don't understand what she says. What's so interesting? "

Mother Yang was stunned for two seconds when she heard Yang Kun's words. Originally, she really wanted to ask the girl about her family situation after she came over. But who would have thought that people could not understand Chinese at all, so Mother Yang immediately said, "What is so good-looking? I must know what she looks like, right? Don't you just look at the photos sent by your brother?"

Yang Kun smiled and pushed the wine to his father. He didn't take a sip when Tang Tian called: "I won't drink for a while and I'm going to drive to the airport."

"Well. When will it be?"

Yang Kun looked at the time and made a rough calculation: "It's almost twelve o'clock."
