It was originally a very old custom that one day of vegetarianism was required on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but with the improvement of life, people have long made exceptions to this custom, and because people in many units now only have seven days off, friends and relatives are even more in a hurry.
In order to increase time, the first day of the Lunar New Year is often also set as a time for reunion. How can we just eat vegetarian food?
The same is true for Li Yan and Yang Yimin, because their plan was to return to Yang Yimin's house on the second day of the new year. On the first day of the new year, Yang Yimin was regarded as his son-in-law and had dinner together as a member of the family. Although it was already seven o'clock in the evening, people were eating and drinking.
The enthusiasm has not diminished at all.
The reason why the number of patients in the hospital increases significantly during the Spring Festival is this: either eating bad things or playing bad things, but this is how Chinese people welcome the New Year.
When things were not abundant, this method allowed everyone to have a delicious meal, but now it is different. Every day is a good life. It would be strange to eat and drink so much during the New Year that nothing goes wrong.
Li Yan was a little uncomfortable in Shimen. Because there were a lot of dried cured meats, she rarely ate vegetables. Today, she was still on the road, so she asked her mother to get more vegetables, but she was afraid that Yang Yimin would think there were too many vegetarian dishes, so she added a lot more
meat.
Yang Yimin smiled bitterly and said: "We are leaving tomorrow. I don't know how long you will have to eat."
In the evening, Yang Yimin asked Li Yan to go to bed early, but he couldn't fall asleep. Thinking about going home tomorrow, he felt excited. But this time, Li Yan took the initiative to go home with him, which was completely different from Xu Manli's approach.
Yang Yimin once asked Xu Manli to go home with her twice. She always said that she had something to do. In fact, Yang Yimin knew that although Xu Manli's home was in a rural area, it was near the county town and the conditions were better. She was afraid that she would go to Yang Yimin's place.
Poorer families are not used to it.
Yang Yimin was also a little worried, so he didn't force it. This time Li Yan was going, but he was even more worried, because Li Yan had been living in the city, and the conditions in the countryside were very different. Although he was determined, he would not be able to bear it when the time came.
But it's something else.
Because of this, after Li Yan decided to go back with him a year ago, Yang Yimin called his parents and told them that he would go home with his girlfriend after the Chinese New Year.
At this time, Yang Yimin wanted to send a text message home, but felt that it would make his parents unable to sleep tonight, so he gave up the idea.
After a while, a text message rang on the phone. Yang Yimin looked at it and saw that it was from Li Yan: Yimin, I can't sleep.
Yang Yimin thought for a while, Li Yan had to drive tomorrow and had to have a good rest. She must be feeling uneasy because she would see her parents tomorrow. He really needed to comfort her, so he sent a text message: Then I will come over to chat with you and open the door.
.
Yang Yimin wore pajamas and a down jacket and entered Li Yan's bedroom. Li Yan blushed and made room for him on the bed. Yang Yimin sat on the edge of the bed, holding Li Yan's hand, "Girl, I'll sit here with you."
.”
Li Yan picked up the remote control of the air conditioner not far away, turned on the air conditioner, and said, "Yimin, I'm suddenly a little afraid, will your parents be dissatisfied with me?"
"Girl, how could it be? You are so good, they will definitely be quite satisfied. But I am a little worried about you. Maybe you are not used to the habits and etiquette of the countryside, which will make it difficult for you."
"Then tell me."
"Girl, you have a good sleep. I'm talking to you while you sleep. It's equivalent to me telling you a story. You have to drive tomorrow, so you can't rest too late."
Li Yan slept obediently on the bed. Yang Yimin put his hand into the quilt, held Li Yan's hand, and talked about the situation in his hometown. Li Yan listened and fell asleep.
Watching Li Yan fall asleep, Yang Yimin covered her with a quilt, turned off the air conditioner, and quietly went out. He did not enter his bedroom and came to the study. His tea cup was placed in the study and he wanted to drink some water.
He turned on the computer and looked at the news aimlessly. After only two or three minutes, there was a gentle knock on the door. He thought Li Yan was awake again, so he immediately got up and opened the door.
It was Li Yan's mother. Before Yang Yimin could speak, Li Yan's mother whispered: "Teacher Yang, go to bed early. You have to go on the road tomorrow."
Yang Yimin said: "Hey, I can't sleep. Li Yan couldn't sleep just now, so I went over to coax her to sleep, but I woke up, so I came over."
Li Yan's mother thought for a while and said, "Teacher Yang, let's talk."
Yang Yimin quickly let her in. In fact, Yang Yimin also thought at this time that her mother was also worried when Li Yan came to his home. A chat between the two might reassure the other party.
"Teacher Yang, Li Yan doesn't understand anything, and she doesn't know some etiquette. Please remind her more."
Yang Yimin nodded, "Auntie, don't worry, Li Yan is very sensible, and I won't let her suffer any injustice."
"Yes, we can usually tell that you love her very much and let her do anything. But after all, she is meeting your parents this time, so we can't let her go too much."
"Actually, my parents are very kind to people. They didn't treat Li Yan as a fairy when they returned. You don't have to worry about that. I'm mainly worried about whether Li Yan can adapt to rural life and some etiquette, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult for her. But you
Don't worry, I will handle these things well. Since Li Yan is the person I love, I sometimes treat her as a child, and I will not make her feel uncomfortable."
Li Yan's mother nodded, "This makes me feel relieved. In fact, I was relieved at first, but I just couldn't let it go."
Yang Yimin knew this feeling, so everyone couldn't sleep. Li Yan's mother said again: "Li Yan has been in Shanghai for half a year. I want to finalize your relationship before she leaves. Do you like it?"
The so-called engagement, that is, the engagement mentioned here, does not have more etiquette now. The main thing is that the parents of both parties have to meet, discuss, change the title in advance, and put the marriage on the agenda, such as buying a house, decorating, etc.
Weddings and other events have to be prepared, and parents also have to spend money to prepare for them.
Yang Yimin thought for a while and said: "Auntie, Li Yan and I are actually very much in love, but I have never finalized our relationship because Li Yan is still young. When she comes to my house this time, she will go to Shanghai immediately.
, I think firstly, let her know about my family situation, and also increase my knowledge after arriving in Shanghai. The more knowledge I have, the more ideas and concepts I will have, and my thoughts will be mature."
"If we still love each other like this when we come back from Shanghai, it will not be too late for us to have a relationship by then. I sometimes regard her as my student and as a child. From now on, our lives will be very real. It is difficult to say that there will be no conflicts. I don't want her to
I regret it and don’t want to hurt her. Auntie, Li Yan and I, although you see that we are very close, we have never done anything outrageous."
The reason why Yang Yimin said this may be a gesture, and it also reassures the other party that no matter what, he will put Li Yan's care and care first.
The other party was obviously relieved and said: "You are very thoughtful, Teacher Yang, we are really relieved that Yanzi has you."
