Chapter 96: Happy New Year!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Spring Festival was the most important traditional holiday. Since it was the best time for family gatherings, everyone went back home to see their families. Dai Li also went back home without hesitation.

Last Spring Festival, Li was on duty in the Sport University, and had also helped Feifei Yu lose weight. He had not had the chance to go back home. This year he returned home to see his family and friends.

It was hard to get a train ticket before the Spring Festival. Luckily, as an eastern port city, Qingcheng was always the starting station. Li easily got his ticket back to Yuzhou City.

Li’s parents were ordinary workers with average salaries, and were quite satisfied with Li’s current job. Even though Li had little chance of becoming rich, being a coach for the Provincial Sport Team was a formal job. They didn’t need to worry about Li’s future anymore.

For parents,the only hope was that their children could live a healthy and happy life.

Li’s entire family was sitting around the table enjoying dinner.

”Try this chicken stew! Your father bought this big rooster early this morning just for you! It was cooked for three hours, must taste good!”

”Have some mutton. We bought it when it was fresh!”

Li’s mom was busy picking food out for her son. She put almost everything edible into Li’s bowl. Li’s father asked Li about his job, and told him to work hard. Later Li’s parents began to talk to Li about finding a girlfriend, and even began to count how much of a down payment the family should pay to buy a house in Qingcheng City.

Li could do nothing but sit in silence and smile. Qingcheng was a well-developed city among second tier cities, where the average housing rate was over 25,000 yuan per square meter. The down payment for an apartment in Qingcheng was good enough for them to buy a nice house in Yuzhou City. The family could never afford such a large amount of money.

Wishing others a happy new year was a custom. Li’s relatives and friends all heard that Li had gotten a good job in the capital city. They were curious, and asked Li for more details.

Li showed off his group photos with Feifei Yu and Feixiang Lin to them. For people who lived in fourth tier cities like Yuzhou, Feixiang Lin and Feifei Yu were superstars far away from their lives. In those relatives’ eyes, if Li was able to take group pictures with those celebrities, he definitely had a great job.

After the Spring Festival, Li had a gathering with his schoolmates. Because everyone was newly graduated and had their first job, they didn’t bother asking about them. Most of the time they just talked about the old days. But after several years, when they lived in different ways, the gathering may not be as happy and pure as what they were having right then.
