I still remember that when we were young, we didn't know what Chinese New Year meant. However, we know that when that day comes, we can wear new clothes, new pants, and dress ourselves up beautifully. We can also get lucky money from adults.
The next morning, we woke up early and ate some glutinous rice balls. Then, we went to the streets with a few people of the same age to buy our favorite things with our lucky money. That year, although the money was very little, it was still enough for us to spend, and it could also carve that innocent smile on our faces. Although our parents will be unhappy because we spend money recklessly, we will have a good time on New Year's Day. And now? The New Year seemed to have changed. Is it because we've grown up? Perhaps he had grown up.
"Hey, do you still remember us?" A boy who was about the same age as Jian Chuan patted his shoulder and asked happily.
Jian Chuan pointed at his own head and then at the other party,""Oh, you are?"
The boy said happily,"Why, can't you remember who I am?"”
Jian Chuan sneered at him and said,""I'm sorry, I can't remember your name.”
Hearing Jian Chuan's words, the boy didn't seem to be angry at all. He still had a smile on his face,""I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, your appearance hasn't changed much.”
Hearing his words, Jian Chuan was confused,""How many years has it been? You don't have to be so exaggerated!"
The boy looked at Jian Chuan who was a little confused. Instead, he smiled and said,""It's me! Yang Qi. Do you have an image now?"
Jian Chuan thought about it carefully and shook his head,""I have no impression of him."
Hearing Jian Chuan's words, Yang Qi added,"When we were in kindergarten and elementary school, you and I were deskmates. My classmates often call me "Western-style". How about it? Do you have any impression of it now?
Jian Chuan muttered the word 'oxygen' and looked at him with a surprised expression."Oh, it's you. I remember now. Why? We haven't seen each other for a few years, right?”
Yang Qi smiled and explained,"Yeah, we haven't seen each other for almost six years. I haven't seen you for so many years. What are you doing now?"”
"I'm studying. I'm taking the college entrance exam this year," said Jian Chuan with a smile. I haven't seen you in a few years, you've grown taller.”
Yang Qi said with some embarrassment,"It's good to study, but our grades are too bad. We don't have the chance to study even if we want to. We can only go out and work. Moreover, the salary is low, and we can't support ourselves. So, you have to study hard. Don't be like me."
Jian Chuan said with a bitter smile,""Look at what you're saying. You're making yourself sound so pitiful. Now, you can earn money yourself. Holding the money that he earned himself felt different from taking money from his parents! Are you happy now?"
Yang Qi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Jian Chuan. Jian Chuan quickly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want it. Yang Qi picked up a cigarette and smoked it with relish, spitting out a few circles from his mouth as he said leisurely,"What are you happy about? The money he earned was not enough for him to spend. Forget it, let's not talk about it. I still have a few classmates over there. Let's go play a few rounds of mahjong. My hands are a little itchy.”
Jian Chuan looked at him blankly and shook his head,""I won't."
Yang Qi was his classmate in kindergarten and primary school in Jianchuan, and he was also his deskmate. Ever since they graduated from elementary school, they had lost contact for various reasons. She did not expect that a few years later, they would meet in this way.
After a simple greeting, Jian Chuan said goodbye to Yang Qi and left. Jian Chuan walked forward, hoping to find his childhood playmate. "Come here, we're over here." Feng Tao said to Jian Chuan.”
"Go over there," Jian Chuan followed Feng Tao's shout.”
Feng Tao patted Jian Chuan's shoulder and said,"Kid, are you doing well in school?"”
Jian Chuan straightened his shoulders.”
Feng Tao placed a hand on his shoulder and said in a questioning tone,"Are you fooling around with your friends? The few buddies who used to be good friends in junior high are getting married.”
Jian Chuan shook his head and said in surprise,""Who? So fast? How old are they?”
"I'm nineteen this year, why can't I?" Feng Tao said naturally.”
Jian Chuan continued with a surprised expression,""No, it's too fast!"
" What's so fast about it?" Feng Tao said nonchalantly." When my grandfather was my age, he even created my father. To me, it's considered relatively late."”
Hearing Feng Tao's words, Jian Chuan remained silent, not knowing what to say. Feng Tao broke the silence.”
Jian Chuan shook his head.”
Feng Tao said in a doubtful tone,"I don't believe it. You'd better tell me the truth! You don't have to pretend in front of this bro!"
"No." Jian Chuan repeated firmly.”
Feng Tao said doubtfully," You'd better study hard. Look at me, I'm already under tight control after I get married. I have to hand in my salary every time, and I have to be nagged at when I get home. I don't have any freedom at all. I'm so envious of not getting married." Look, I still have to go to my mother-in-law's house tomorrow. Sigh, how annoying.”
When Jian Chuan heard the news that Feng Tao was married, he was even more shocked. He was so shocked that he didn't say anything. Feng Tao was Jianchuan's best friend in junior high school. He did well in the middle school examination, but I don't know why he didn't choose to go to school. Life is only a few decades, why let yourself be too tired and chase after those things that don't belong to you?
Jian Chuan listened to Feng Tao's story of his miserable life after marriage, and at the same time, he added a few words from time to time. Feng Tao told Jian Chuan how miserable his life was, and at the same time, he used himself as an example to warn Jian Chuan to study hard. Their conversation ended with Feng Tao's girlfriend, no, his mistress. After saying goodbye to Jian Chuan, Feng Tao walked towards his wife with a smile.
Feng Tao's wife held her hand and made a gesture to leave. Jian Chuan looked at his old classmate and friend. He had changed so much. He recalled the words that Feng Tao had given to Jianchuan in the student recording: "We are brothers. Remember not to let the passage of time break the connection between us. The brotherhood will never change.”Jian Chuan smiled.
Just as Jian Chuan was about to leave, a group of old classmates came over and said to Jian Chuan,""Long time no see. Why don't we play a few rounds together?”
Jian Chuan shook his head and said,""You guys go play! I don't know how to play. I wish everyone a good time so as not to spoil everyone's mood.”Jian Chuan said goodbye to them and left the place.
When he saw his childhood friends, Xiao Yang and the others, he thought that he would be able to find the feeling of his childhood, but he felt a little sad for no reason."Is there nothing else other than playing cards and talking about relationships and work?”She missed her childhood. Jian Chuan suddenly remembered the things that happened in school.
Finally, after the few days of happiness brought by the Spring Festival, Jian Chuan reluctantly embarked on the road of studying again. When Jian Chuan arrived at the classroom, he found that they were already there. Jian Chuan placed his thick book on the desk. She buried her head and tidied up her messy books.
Duan Li raised her head and said weakly,"" Jianchuan, Happy New Year."
Jian Chuan paused for a while to sort out his books and said to Duan Li,""What's wrong? You've just arrived at school and you're already acting like this. Did you have fun at home?”
"Happy, happy," Duan Li continued weakly. I'm so happy that I feel that school is still better.”
Jian Chuan ignored Duan Li and continued to organize his books. During self-study at night, everyone
They gathered together and talked about the special feelings that the Spring Festival had given them.
Yu Jiaqian said happily to Xiao Hong,""Sister Hong, how do you feel about coming home for the New Year?”
Xiao Hong put down her pen and replied,""It's alright, but I'm missing some of my childhood happiness. As for what I'm missing, I can't say.”
"Yeah, I have the same feeling too." Yu Jiaqian quickly nodded. Sometimes, I feel that the New Year is not interesting at all.”
" You want to go home during winter vacation?" Xiao Hong asked curiously. Why did she feel that the New Year was not interesting at all now?”
" Aiya," Yu Jiaqian explained," I don't know how to put it. I just feel like something is missing." Perhaps it's just as you said, it's missing some of the happiness of childhood.”
Xiao Hong ignored Yu Jiaqian's words and turned to Han Siyu,""Siyu, do you have any special feelings about the new year?”
Han Siyu shook her head. Mei Jiao said to them," I thought I could relax when I got home and temporarily forget about my tired heart from studying. But when I got home, it was different from what I expected." My relatives and friends all asked me about my studies. Aiya, I was so annoyed by them. My good mood was also ruined by them.”
"Me too," said Han Yingyu, a little dissatisfied. My relatives and friends all asked me about my studies. What was even more infuriating was that someone introduced me to a partner. I was really speechless.”
When Han Siyu heard that someone was introducing a partner to Han Yingyu, she couldn't help but laugh and say,"Looks like you've grown up, and you're growing especially fast. Someone actually introduced you to a partner. Why don't you go and see what kind of monster your partner is?”
"Don't be so sarcastic. I don't feel happy at all this year. What about you?" Han Yingyu said angrily. How did he pass the time on New Year's Day?”
Han Siyu thought carefully for a while and said,""I met up with a few old classmates on New Year's Day. There were no other particularly good memories.”
Jian Chuan replied to Han Siyu with a helpless tone,""You still have old classmates to meet up with. What about me? Those old classmates were either married, shopping with their girlfriends, or even parents. It was not easy to find old classmates and childhood playmates, but there was a generation gap and they could not find common topics to talk about. Sigh, sad."
When Jiang Jing heard Jian Chuan's helpless tone, she replied with a somewhat sad tone,"What's there to be sad about? I'm the one who's sad? Before he went home, his cousins, cousins, and other relatives who were about the same age as him hoped that he would come home. Finally, after returning home, he had a heart-to-heart talk with his cousins, cousins, and other relatives who were about the same age as him. In the end, I couldn't even get a word in. I could only listen to them explain their colorful lives in a daze. Sigh, the feelings of the past slowly felt a little distant.”
Mei Jiao nudged Duan Li." We've all talked about our experiences during the Spring Festival. Shouldn't you also express your views?"”
"Actually, I'm the same as you guys," Duan Li said slowly. Sometimes, the most painful thing was not the distance between life and death, but standing in front of someone I was once familiar with, but the other party didn't know who I was. You even asked me who I am."
Yu Jiaqian said to everyone in a sad tone,""From everyone's discussion just now, it seems that they all have some unhappy feelings about this year's New Year. Only Han Siyu seems to have some fun this year.”
Han Siyu said, somewhat embarrassed,""Envy me? What's there to be envious of? I just chatted with a few old classmates for a while. You guys can do it too.”
"I also chatted with a few old classmates," Mei Jiao replied. However, I didn't know much about the content of the conversation. I felt that there was a generation gap between us.”
"Then what did you talk to them about?" Jiang Jing asked curiously.”
Mei Jiao said weakly," I talked to them about the good times we had together in the past, but they weren't very interested. Instead, they talked to me about work and relationships. Aiya, I really can't bear to hurt them."”
Han Yingyu consoled Mei Jiao." There's nothing we can do. We're still in school. Work and relationships may seem far away from us, but they're actually very close to us."”
"We talk about our studies now, while our friends in the past talk about relationships and work," Xiao Hong said lightly. The memories of her youth slowly faded away. Sigh, it was really nostalgic when she was young.”
Yu Jiaqian held Xiao Hong's hand and asked,""What were you like when you were young?”
Xiao Hong patted Yu Jiaqian's head and said,""When I was young, someone bought me new clothes, lots of delicious food, and lucky money for the new year. When he received his lucky money, he didn't know what words to use to describe the joy he felt when he was young. Now, although she had new clothes and red pocket money, she could no longer find that feeling. Jian Chuan, what about you?"
Jian Chuan looked at Xiao Hong and said,"Actually, I'm the same as you." When I was young, people helped me buy new clothes, lots of delicious food, and lucky money during the New Year. On the morning of the first day of the new year, he got up very early and ate a few glutinous rice balls. Then, he made an appointment with a few companions to do what he liked to do. He did not have to worry about anything. When we were tired and hungry, we would return to our own homes. And now? But the New Year was missing the comfort of childhood.”
Han Siyu replied with a faint sadness,""When you say this, it really reminds me of my childhood. Now that we have grown up, we can no longer find that feeling of childhood. No matter what he did, he had to think about whether he should do it. We lost the innocence of our youth and gained the melancholy of growing up. How good would it be if we didn't grow up? How beautiful would it be?”
Han Yingyu looked at Han Siyu's expression and teased,"If you don't grow up, how will you know what troubles you will have when you grow up? Even if we were less naive, we were more steady. You don't want to be forced to recite 26 letters every day, do you?”
Duan Li strengthened her tone and added,""You're right. Although we lost a bit of naivety, we gained a bit more steadiness. However, I feel that there are still some more troubles.”
Han Siyu saw that everyone seemed a little sad when they returned to school after the new year. In order to cheer everyone up, she said,"Alright, let's not miss our childhood too much. When we grow up, we should face what adults have to face. They talked about studies, work, and introducing people. Or perhaps they could no longer find common topics to talk about with their former good friends, and there might even be some estrangement. That was something that they had to face when they grew up.”
Xiao Hong adjusted her expression and reorganized her words,""Han Siyu is right. I think everyone has their own life, so everyone's path is different. Since we've chosen this path, let's set sail firmly!”
Jian Chuan clenched his fist and said,"That's right." Everyone chose a different path. Since we've chosen this path, let's set sail resolutely! Just like Li Bai's poem," Difficult Journey ".”
Together, they recited Li Bai's poem,"The Road Is Difficult".“
A bucket of golden wine is worth ten thousand, and a jade plate is worth ten thousand.
I stopped drinking and threw away my chopsticks, but I couldn't eat. I drew my sword and looked around. My heart was at a loss.
I want to cross the Yellow River and block the river with ice. I want to climb the Taihang Mountain and snow will cover the dark sky.
When I was idle, I sat fishing by the stream. Suddenly I dreamed of the sun by boat.
The road is difficult, the road is difficult, there are many forks, where is it now?
There will be a time when the wind blows and the waves break, and the clouds and sails will cross the sea.
When the poem came to an end, the few of them slowly forgot about the unhappiness of the new year. The so-called butterfly effect was swept away. They re-invested in the college entrance examination, because they knew that since they had chosen this path, they would firmly set sail!
