I may have played a fake fantasy

Chapter 197 New Year's Eve

Ye Shang played one game after another. When it was 20 o'clock, he turned off the game and came to the living room.

At this time, the parents have already placed peanuts, melon seeds, fruit candies, drinks and other things on the table, and the family of three is waiting to watch the Spring Festival Gala at 20:[-].

In my previous life, I was complained about the Spring Festival Gala as soon as it was held, so many people didn’t want to watch it. Well, at least...you can complain about it in the future.

Ye Shang is such a person, he doesn't dislike the Spring Festival Gala that much, although the Spring Festival Gala is indeed getting worse, but there is nothing he can do about it.

In the past, there were few entertainment activities for people, and a 4-hour gala, with stars from both sides of the strait and three places, cross talk sketches, singing, dancing and acrobatics gathered together, it was rare to encounter such a rich and colorful event.

Nowadays, with the development of the Internet, various means of entertainment on the Internet are becoming more and more abundant.Do you want to listen to music?No problem, there are songs from many countries and regions, as well as newly rising house songs and virtual divas; you want to be amused, don't you?No problem, there are all kinds of funny and joke shows, and if you get tired of watching domestic ones, you can watch foreign ones; do you want to watch celebrities?No problem, don't you hear all kinds of celebrity rumors and gossips every day?

Of course, what you watch is not necessarily the most important. The most important thing is the atmosphere and the people you watch it with.

Ye Shang was half paralyzed and half lying on the sofa, eating snacks, drinking soda, smoking small cigarettes, and listening to ditties, as comfortable as he wanted.

During the party, Ye Shang was very interested in some programs, such as language programs or his favorite songs, and he was also very happy when watching acrobatics and magic.But for some programs that are not suitable for his age, such as Beijing opera, Ye Shang took out his mobile phone to pass the time.

The way of getting along with Northeast families is not particularly warm. Even if there is no business, when parents get along with their children, they still have a sense of superiority, and even scold them in an unfriendly tone.But today, it was New Year's Eve, it was rare for Ye Shang to spend a fairly warm day with his family, which was quite rewarding for him.

At 23:24, Ye Chengyan got up and went to the kitchen to cook dumplings. Eating dumplings at [-]:[-] and when the New Year comes is a common habit among Chinese people.

It just so happened that the party at this time was coming to an end. At this time, it was called "garbage time" in a not-so-nice way.Twenty minutes later, the hot dumplings were served, and Ye Chengyan served wine, garlic and seasonings, and a bowl of dumpling soup beside it.

Many friends in the south may not be able to imagine that the soup left over from cooking dumplings can also be drunk?Yes, you can drink it. Although Ye Shang has never drunk it himself, he has seen others drink it, and he has the attitude of drinking it every time he has it.

Ye Shang is actually not very willing to eat dumplings or even other stuffy things. Among them, his favorite food is fried dumplings and pies, especially the kind of pies from his hometown. He is willing to give up some food for pies. Chance of rice.

Further down are steamed stuffed buns, leek boxes and so on, while dumplings with soup and Yuanxiao are his least favorite things.In fact, if you don’t eat dumplings for a long time, Ye Shang will also be greedy. He will still eat one meal in ten days and a half months, but he doesn’t like to eat dumplings with water just out of the pot, so he must shake off the soup and let it cool Some will do.

The family of three cooked more than 50 dumplings. After all, they had a good meal in the afternoon and some fruit and melon snacks in the evening. Eating at this time is a symbolic meaning.

But what is more symbolic is that the person who puts coins in the dumplings and eats the dumplings with coins will get a good fortune. Ye Shang doesn't believe in this, but he will not force others to do the same because he doesn't believe it. Do not believe.

There were more than 50 dumplings and there were nearly 20 left. Ye Chengyan put the remaining dumplings on a plate, put them in the refrigerator, and kept them for frying at noon (it was past 24:[-]).

Except for restaurants in the Northeast, there are very few pan-fried pan-fried dumplings (some are also called pan-roasted ones). The fried dumplings at home are basically fried with leftover dumplings. Ye Shang thinks it is better than pan-frying directly. That's a lot, and honestly those 20 or so would be enough for him alone.

When Ye Shang and others finished their meal, the sound of firecrackers outside increased several levels. They had been set off before, but they were only set off at 24 o'clock. When everyone had finished eating their dumplings, this was the real time. The moment of "hundred guns firing" begins.

"Go out and set off firecrackers, why don't you go?" He Huixiang was already fully dressed and asked Ye Shangdao.

"Ah... Forget it, let's go for a walk." Ye Shang didn't want to go out at first, but at this moment he felt a sense of melancholy, so he thought about going out to get some fresh air and change his mood.

After coming outside, Ye Shang lit a cigarette for himself, and then used it as a fire source to set off several firecrackers and fireworks, but he immediately felt bored.

Afterwards, Ye Shang greeted his parents and went to the side for a walk. He was a big man and was near home, so the two elders didn't have to worry too much.

Ye Shang was strolling in the neighborhood, looking at the thousands of lights and festoons along the way, he felt an unreal feeling.

In his previous life, Ye Shang could not have a stable job and life for 13 or 4 years. Every day, he was either struggling with whether to find a job or return home to grow old, or he would quickly resign for various reasons after finding a job. Lose.

On such a day, Ye Shang felt very helpless and aggrieved, but... it also seemed real. At least, his busy and unsuccessful life proved that he was alive, and he never gave up in his heart to live a better life. good idea.

But now?Ye Shang can earn a lot of money by playing games every month. Although the money he earns has been directly invested in strengthening the character recently, how can he make money later if he does not build the strength of the character well in the early stage.In addition, Ye Shang also has a good thing that he has never encountered in his previous life. There are 4 beautiful girls around him, and they have a good relationship with him.

However, it was precisely because these girls were so outstanding that Ye Shang didn't think he could get any of them.This acquisition does not mean possessing like machismo thinking, but just falling in love.

Maybe it's because he hasn't lived enough self-confidence for nearly 30 years, so that after Ye Shang has had a good life, he still dare not have any illusions about the outstanding opposite sex around him. After all, those are too unrealistic.

"I know that my current thinking is wrong, but I am actually 30 years old, and my values ​​​​are basically formed. Small repairs can be changed, but it is too difficult to overthrow the whole thing. The only thing I can do is Stick to your own beliefs and work hard to improve yourself, as for whether you can get some things... Oh, I am lucky to get it, and I will lose my life."

This is what Ye Shang made to himself on New Year's Eve (actually it was already the first day of junior high school)... well, it can be regarded as an agreement.

In any case, Ye Shang was not completely disappointed in life, nor did he completely lose his belief in the pursuit of beauty. He just didn't think that as long as he reached a certain level, he could reap what kind of life. Life is not so simple .

"Ah, back."

Suddenly, Ye Shang laughed. He seemed to let go of a shackle and a burden that had been in his brain all along. At this moment, he truly became "myself".

"I want to become a strong player in the game, not to trample on others wantonly, but to prove that I can do it."

"I want to have a good relationship with the friends around me, not because I can be my girlfriend, but because I don't want to destroy our friendship."

"I want to improve myself as much as possible outside of the game, not to become a winner in life, but just to give myself more opportunities."

"I... want to live a different life in this life through my body in another time and space. I don't want to be able to stand on the top of human beings. I just hope that I can pursue my own life as much as possible. mind, not to be disturbed and influenced by external objects.”

With the last puff of smoke, Ye Shang threw the cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his feet, then he turned and walked back, and at the same time his arms were open, as if on the first day of the new year... to welcome the new Life is the same.
