At this time, the streets of Lin'an have already started to be decorated with lights and festoons, and there are beaming smiles on the faces of adults and children.

For Chinese people, the word New Year means many things, reunion, celebration, holiday
Compared with Chinese people 20 years later, the current New Year may have more meanings!

At that time, the taste of the New Year was getting weaker and weaker. It seemed that the improvement of the level of science and technology made the distance between people closer and closer, but only those who experienced that era would find that the New Year at that time , in fact, compared to everyone, it is not so lively anymore.

Wu Jianye and the others were sitting on a minibus, which had just driven into the urban area of ​​Lin'an.

This was Zhou Huimin's first visit to China. Sitting near the car window, she looked curious at the scenery outside.

"So this is Lin'an!"

Although he has never been to Lin'an, the story of Lin'an is no stranger to Zhou Huimin. The most familiar impression is naturally from the broadcast of "Legend of the New White Snake". After "Legend of the New White Snake" was broadcast in Xiangjiang , many people from Xiangjiang came to Lin'an for tourism, specially went to see the Broken Bridge, West Lake.
"Is it different from Lin'an in your impression?" Gong Xi sat next to Zhou Huimin and asked with a smile.

Although Gong Xi didn't come to An'an many times, compared to Zhou Huimin, she was naturally more familiar with this place.

Zhou Huimin smiled and said: "There are some differences, but I can't say there is any difference!"

Li Xiuming was chatting with the two children, especially educating Wu Luoxin.

"Luo Luo, after returning to China, you will have to speak Mandarin, and you can no longer speak English, you know?" Although Wu Luoxin was born and lived in North America, Li Xiuming never forgot to educate Wu Luoxin because of Wu Jianye's orders back then. Luo Xin speaks Mandarin. When I was at home, most of my conversations with her were in Mandarin.

"OK!" Wu Luoxin smiled sweetly.

Li Xiuming: "."

"Has everyone else arrived?" At this time, Gong Xi turned around and asked Wu Jianye who was across the aisle from him.

"It's already here, I guess they are cleaning up at home at this time!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Wu Jianye flew directly to Shanghai with Gong Xi and others, and then drove back to Lin'an.

As for Liang Zhengting, Huang Zilu and others, they took different flights according to their hometowns. After the New Year, they will go to Yanjing to report.

And the other people that Gong Xi was talking about were actually my old lady, Zhu Zhuo and others!
There are not many people celebrating the New Year in Lin'an this time, and more people are from Wu Jianye's small family.

"By the way, when are you going back to Yanjing?" Wu Jianye asked Dai Zhen beside him.

During the Chinese New Year in China, Wu Jianye would give Dai Zhen a holiday. Now Dai Zhen's parents, elder brother and sister-in-law are running a very prosperous restaurant in Yanjing, and they have basically settled in Yanjing, so every year during the Chinese New Year, Dai Zhen They will all go back to Yanjing for the New Year!
"Hehe, I won't be returning to Yanjing this year, I will spend the New Year with you in Lin'an!" Dai Zhen smiled.

Although Wu Jianye was accompanied by bodyguards all year round, Dai Zhen was not very relieved, so when he came back, he had already told his parents that he would not return to Yanjing for the New Year this year.

Wu Jianye said: "Okay, anyway, we should go back to Yanjing after the fifteenth day!"

The Chinese New Year will not end until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This time it is a party, so we must stay in Lin'an until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

While chatting, the minibus had already arrived at the courtyard of West Lake.

From a distance, I could see my old lady and Zhu Zhuo holding Wu Nianyi's hand and standing at the door waiting for them.

This was also the first time Wu Jianye had time to come here after the courtyard was built. At this time, he led everyone into the courtyard. I.M. Pei designed a unique garden building based on the quiet and elegant environment here.

The whole building wins with wildness, including mountains, ponds, islands, flowers, stones, pavilions, halls, pavilions, and rockeries, and is connected by corridors and winding paths.The corridors are decorated with window frames of different styles. Walking under each window frame, different landscapes are displayed, some are bleak bamboo forests, some are dense osmanthus trees, vigorous pine trees, or swaying bonsai.

If you want to say who has the happiest life this year, it is actually Wu Jianye's old lady. It is the first time for my two grandsons and one granddaughter to spend the New Year with me completely, how could they be unhappy!

At this time, the old lady was playing with three juniors, while Wu Jianye was strolling here with Zhu Zhuo and others.

"I.M. Pei's design really lives up to its reputation!" Several people were sitting in the Tingsong Pavilion in the courtyard.

"It's not so easy to ask Master Dong Pei to come out of the mountain now!" Li Xiuming now lives in North America all year round and is more familiar with I.M. Pei.

Now Landmark is cooperating with I.M. Pei's son, and they are basically responsible for designing the Landmark in China.

Gong Xi nodded and said, "It seems that the Bank of China Building in Xiangjiang was designed by Master Bei!"

Zhou Huimin nodded beside him and said, "That's him!"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Okay, don't discuss the affairs of outsiders, let's think about how to live this year. There are no chefs here this year, so we can only do it ourselves!"

Zhu Zhuo smiled and said, "Otherwise, let's go to the department store to buy New Year's goods tomorrow!"

The other three of them were also very happy when they heard it. The identities of the four of them have long since changed from what they used to be. It is estimated that they have not prepared their own New Year's goods for many years.

Hearing Zhu Zhuo's proposal now, he was naturally very happy.

Wu Jianye looked at Zhu Zhu who was a little excited and said with a smile: "It's probably okay for us to go, but for you, it's probably dangerous!"

Zhu Zhuo looked at Wu Jianye with some doubts and asked, "Why?"

Gong Xi smiled and said, "Have you forgotten "Legend of the New White Snake"?"

Although the TV series "Legend of the New White Snake" was not broadcast on Zhejiang TV Station, it was premiered on Lin'an TV Station. Even now, this TV series is still a must-broadcast TV series during the two major holidays in Lin'an. The popularity in Lin'an is definitely the highest among the four women.

If she showed up in the department store, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.

Zhu Zhu showed a helpless expression. The suggestion he originally made was now the one who should not be seen in public. Naturally, he felt regretful in his heart!

Wu Jianye looked at Zhou Huimin and smiled, "You can't go either!"

Zhou Huimin looked at Wu Jianye in surprise.

"Do you think that no one in China knows about your popularity in Xiangjiang?"

As one of the most popular female singers in Xiangjiang, Zhou Huimin's popularity in China at this time is naturally very high. Many young boys have posters of Zhou Huimin posted in their homes.

After Fengge Media's publicity, Zhou Huimin and the female star are much more famous than in another time and space!
Zhu Xuan and Zhou Huimin looked at each other and smiled wryly.

Gong Xi and Li Xiuming both showed smug smiles.

At this time, my mother has already called them to prepare dinner!
This time they celebrated the New Year here, they didn't find a local cook, so they cooked by themselves, even Wu Jianye himself was not spared, and cooked two small dishes himself.

"If you can't do it next year, move to live in Yanjing. My aunt has already gone back. I am a little worried about you being alone in my hometown. And after you go, you can see more!" Wu Jianye said to his old lady .

My uncle has come out this year, and my aunt has moved back. Chen Le and Dan Silan got married in November, but at that time, Wu Jianye was promoting "The World of Chu Xing" in Xiangjiang, so he didn't have time to attend wedding.

"Forget it, I don't know anyone over there. The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my dog's nest. If I miss you, it's not too late to visit you again!" the old woman refused.

On this kind of thing, the old lady sees it very clearly. She is naturally distressed—but she also knows that her education level cannot be taught. I also went to Yanjing, and the two parties must have disagreements on the education of one by one. Open your mouth, it’s not appropriate, don’t open your mouth, and you feel uncomfortable. It’s not as easy as it is now!

"Besides, your grandpa and grandpa have to be taken care of at home. If your uncle hadn't said that he would definitely take care of your grandpa and grandpa this time, I wouldn't feel at ease coming here alone!"

Originally, Wu Jianye wanted to bring grandma and grandpa over, but then it was uncle who said that he was going to let grandma and grandpa celebrate the New Year with them, so Wu Jianye didn't say anything.

"Okay, as long as you are always happy!" Wu Jianye said helplessly.

In the evening, four women played a game of mahjong, and my mother had a good time with her grandchildren, but there was no such thing as Wu Jianye.

He was also happy and relaxed, and went to write the script!

On the second day, Wu Jianye, Gong Xie, and Li Xiuming waved their hands to the department store to buy New Year's goods under the envious eyes of Zhu Zhuan and Zhou Huimin!

As the end of the new year approaches, we can see the enthusiasm of foreigners for the new year. The department stores are almost overcrowded, but everyone’s face is filled with happy smiles.

This is especially true for some small children, wearing new clothes and holding snacks in their hands.

The three of Wu Jianye got out of the car and walked slowly towards the department store with the crowd.

At this time, many people outside were handing out leaflets.

Distributing leaflets has existed since ancient times. Now the Internet has not yet risen, and the advertisements of TV stations are not affordable by ordinary businesses, so the situation of distributing leaflets has risen again.

After queuing for a while, Wu Jianye received four or five leaflets.

"Hello, we are from Haibo Translation Agency, and we can help you translate various foreign languages." At this time, a somewhat familiar voice rang in Wu Jianye's ear.

Wu Jianye looked up and found that it was Ma Xiaoyun wearing a coat and distributing advertisements in the cold wind!
"Director Wu?" Ma Xiaoyun also recognized Wu Jianye at this time.

"You made this?" Wu Jianye asked curiously holding the leaflet that Ma Xiaoyun had just sent in his hand.

In my memory, Ma Xiaoyun should start this Haibo Translation Agency next year, so why start now?

Ma Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Yes, I did it with a few friends!"

Wu Jianye asked, "Aren't you a teacher anymore?"

Ma Xiaoyun: "Do it, isn't it a holiday? I have nothing to do. After discussing with a few friends, I set up such a translation agency!"

Wu Jianye chuckled. As expected, Ma Xiaoyun is an idle master. After graduating from university, because of an agreement with the principal, Ma Xiaoyun will definitely not leave his work unit within five years, but it does not mean that Ma Xiaoyun will be idle .

"Director Wu, who is this?" Ma Xiaoyun asked curiously as he saw Wu Jianye queuing up here.

"Oh, isn't it the New Year's Eve soon? Come buy some New Year's goods with your family!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"But I remember who you are?"

"It's the Chinese New Year in Lin'an this year!" Wu Jianye knew what Ma Xiaoyun meant.

"That's good, I didn't say it, it's definitely a very wise choice for us to celebrate the New Year in Lin'an." Ma Xiaoyun immediately began to promote the benefits of Lin'an.

Wu Jianye didn't interrupt Ma Xiaoyun either, listening to his introduction of Lin'an's situation, he was indeed a tour guide for foreigners, and later an entrepreneur who was good at eloquence.

When Wu Jianye walked into the department store, Ma Xiaoyun introduced Wu Jianye endlessly.

It wasn't until Wu Jianye and the others started shopping that Ma Xiaoyun came to his senses, and said with a sneer, "Director Wu, I'm sorry, but I forgot the business as soon as I mentioned it!"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's very interesting to chat with you. If you have time in the future, you can come to my house for a sit down!"

"Then where do you live now?" Ma Xiaoyun was not polite either.

Wu Jianye told Ma Xiaoyun the address of the yard, and Ma Xiaoyun was very surprised after hearing it. That house is very famous in Lin'an. When it was first built, it attracted the attention of many people, but Ma Xiaoyun didn't expect it. That house actually belonged to Wu Jianye.

"Then I will definitely visit Director Wu when I have time!" Ma Xiaoyun said with a smile.

"Welcome!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

After Ma Xiaoyun left, Gong Xi and Li Xiuming asked curiously, "Who is that?"

Wu Jianye replied: "A friend from Lin'an!"

"Oh!" The two didn't ask too much.

Although both of them have their own careers now, after all, they have gone out of the country, and their feelings for the country are naturally very deep. Now, on such an occasion, their impressions of the country have come out again, pull Seeing Wu Jianye is a one-stop purchase.

Compared with Ma Xiaoyun, now they care more about chicken, duck and fish!

Following the long crowd, the three of them bought something they liked when they saw it. Occasionally, Gong Xi and Li Xiuming would ask Wu Jianye for his opinion.

All kinds of food fell into Wu Jianye's hands one after another, and the two continued to buy while talking and laughing. Wu Jianye followed behind them, showing a wry smile.

When they came out of the department store, Wu Jianye suddenly realized why so many men were unwilling to go shopping with their wives!
