The horn I hold says I am Bai Yueguang

The Spring Festival Gala in 2022 is the second happy year after the epidemic has come to an end.Many people who gave up returning home for social stability last year were finally able to go home for the New Year reunion and make up for the regrets of last year.

In order to commemorate, to remember, and to keep in mind, the main theme of this year's Spring Festival Gala has also attracted much attention.

Even before the Chinese New Year's Eve, some people in the media speculated that the ratings of this year's Spring Festival Gala would reach a new level.Although TV is no longer the main source of information for young people, it seems that if you don’t watch the Spring Festival Gala, you will lose some of the flavor of your childhood.

On TV, the festive stage and joyful music symbolize that this year has come to a successful and happy end, and the next year will be better and better.

The busiest people on that night must be the staff and cast and crew who are running around for the Spring Festival Gala. They are full of energy and stay at their jobs so that the people of the whole country can celebrate the New Year happily.

Li Yu and Gu Heliang are also preparing for the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala at this moment.

Gu Heliang and Zhou Heyun's cross talk "The Current Situation of Emerging Stranger Things", as the third language program of the whole Spring Festival Gala, is quite high.Li Yu's dance will not be performed until nearly ten o'clock.

Fortunately, after their performance, they can look back at their old house, drive not far, and have time to eat dumplings.

Gu Heliang and the others wore bright yellow embroidered gowns today, making them look as straight as pine, and their faces as gentle as jade.The makeup artist also made Gu Heliangxin's hairstyle, making him look more like a well-mannered university professor.

Especially when Li Yu came to him after putting on his makeup, he saw Boss Gu was reading a notebook with gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes downcast seriously, as if some expert was calculating and deriving mathematical formulas.

Li Yu deliberately asked: "Professor, why are you studying here, go back to school and teach."

Gu Heliang raised his head and looked at him with a smile, "The students are all on vacation, so I'll take a part-time job."

Li Yu sat down next to him, gossiping mysteriously, "I just saw the new film star calling his child in the bathroom, didn't he claim to be unmarried?"

"Yes, but I didn't say I was childless."

Li Yu turned pale with shock, "Is this okay?"

Gu Heliang nodded his nose, "Look less and listen less, there are many such things."

While the two were chatting, Director Lian suddenly ran over sweating profusely.

"Teacher Li, Teacher Li!"

Li Yu is very strange, now that the first sketch should be over, why does Director Lian still have time to come to him?

Could it be that something went wrong?

"what happened?"

Director Lian wiped his face and explained why he hurried over.It turned out that in the first skit show, the actors improvised for a while on stage, and they didn't care about the rest of the time.

Because it cannot affect the zero time reporting, it is necessary to adjust it in a large area.Director Lian discussed with the host of the show, even if the lines are stuck, there is still not enough time.

It is not easy to adjust the time for singing and dancing programs, so we can only discuss watching or cancel a singing and dancing program directly.So Director Lian came to Li Yu to ask about the situation.

During the official live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, it often happens that actors' programs are temporarily "taken down". Although they have practiced hard for a long time, considering the overall situation, there is really no way.

At this moment, Gu Heliang suddenly asked: "How many minutes did they take?"

Director Lian said, "Uh, 4 minutes..."

"Okay, I can compress a little more here. Boss Zhou? Come and compress the work again." Gu Heliang called Zhou Heyun over.

"Really?" Director Lian was overjoyed, "Can you do it here?"

Originally, the language programs of the Spring Festival Gala were short, and the TV cross talk lacked interaction, which always sounded boring.Therefore, it is a "double-edged sword" for cross talk actors to go to the Spring Festival Gala, and they can gain fame in front of audiences across the country, but it is easy to make people feel that their level is not good enough.

"It's okay, I'll discuss it with Boss Zhou." Gu Heliang said, "Ms. Li and their program have been practicing for so long, it's not good to just cut it off."

"Okay, okay, it's up to you to manage the time."

After Director Lian left, Li Yu took Gu Heliang's hand and shook it coquettishly.

"Thank you."

"Why are you being polite? Your show is so good, I want everyone to see it."

Gu Heliang and Zhou Heyun urgently checked the work again, roughly estimated the time, and adjusted the rhythm.

After they came on stage, they directly removed the previous part of the story and entered the main topic, shortening the whole program by exactly 4 minutes.

In fact, the work is not bad, but after some pretexts are missing, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of haste.Therefore, people who have watched Gu Heliang's cross talk feel that he has not played to his own level.Some experts said that he hurt "Man'er" a little bit during the Spring Festival Gala.

However, thanks to Gu Heliang's adjustments, Li Yu's program was successfully moved to the stage, which amazed everyone who watched the Spring Festival Gala.

The effects of lighting and stage fully render the charm of Chinese opera culture, and the modern culture represented by Li Yu’s dance program is equally beautiful and dizzying, fully reflecting the changes and precipitation of the times, which is both pleasing to the eye and extraordinary in significance .

Netizens jokingly called the program: "Every frame of the screenshot is enough to make the world marvel at the beauty of China", "The Spring Festival Gala has finally turned into a forceful style", "Your CCTV father is still your CCTV father after all".

The entry "beautiful little brother dancing street dance in the spring evening" also rushed into the hot search again.

The person concerned had never known such a strong response, and he hurried home to eat dumplings after the performance.

The lobby of the Gu family's old house was lively and bright at this time, full of warmth, the sound of conversation and the smell of food squeezed out of the room through the crack of the door, conveying to Li Yu's five senses and six senses.

Such a lively atmosphere was a scene he couldn't even imagine last year.

In the Spring Festival of 2021, the epidemic is raging again in Beijing, and the society is tense.Because grandma was getting older and went to bed early, he was the only one listening to the noisy celebration on TV and eating a mouthful of dumplings.

In the Spring Festival of 2022, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the mountains and rivers are safe.There are lovers, relatives, and friends around him, and it seems that all the luck that has been accumulated for several years has hit him on the head.

As soon as they entered the door, they met Li's father and Zhou Heyun's wife carrying dumplings to the hall.Li's father was still wearing an apron covered in flour.

"Are you back? Come on, are you hungry? Wash your hands and eat dumplings!" Zhou Heyun's wife greeted, "Brother Li has been busy all night, and I'm just waiting for you to come back!"

Pa Li said: "I can help with this. We have all seen your show, it's really good."

Since he hadn't seen his father for a long time, Li Yu was still a little cautious in front of his father.So when he heard his father's praise, he just pursed his lips and smiled, not knowing what to say.

Father Li looked at Gu Heliang and smiled, "I also read about you wasting time on the Internet, saying that you are very loyal and worthy of admiration. As a father, I thank you for taking care of Xiao Yu."

"It's just a small matter, nothing to worry about. Let's tidy up and come here." Gu Heliang gently took Li Yu's shoulders and took him to remove his makeup and change his clothes.

There are a total of nine people in the reunion.In addition to Li Yu's family, Zhou Heyun and his family were also there.

The problem of Zhou Heyun's family had already been solved by Wu Chen before the twelfth lunar month.

Li Yu never knew what the Wu family did.Out of some sensitivity, he didn't ask in detail.However, at such a young age, Wu Chen could have his own hip-hop shop in Sanlitun, it would be impossible to rely on him alone.

For this reason, Li Yu also owed Wu Chen a meal of [-] yuan per person, and it was agreed to pay it back after a year.

With Li's father and Zhou Heyun's wife busy making dumplings, Li Yu was only assigned the task of placing dishes and chopsticks on the table and pouring drinks.

Gu Nian also stood at the table to help him.

"Ms. Li, I've thought about it and decided that it's better to just treat hip-hop as sex."

Gu Nian is already a sophomore in high school this year, and she has grown very fast, almost catching up with Li Yu.

Li Yu glanced at him with a smile, "Have you figured it out?"

"Well, I don't think I can reach your level, and I really can't do hip-hop dancing as a career." Gu Nian spoke like an adult, "And I just envied your casualness on stage for a while, but In fact, I myself prefer the feeling of bringing laughter to everyone as a cross talk actor.”

Li Yu patted Gu Nian on the shoulder and nodded affirmatively to him.

"Just do what you like, and He Liang hopes so too."

Gu Nian was a little moved, "Teacher Li, can I call you auntie from now on?"

Li Yu: "...No way."

Forget about sister-in-law, what kind of strange thing is sister-in-law!

...It's so weird, I kind of want to listen to it again.

Just as Li Yu was helping Li's father serve the dumplings, the door of Gu's family was suddenly knocked.

"Dangling, open the door, I'm here to celebrate the New Year!"

It was Meng Chunyang's voice.His family lived in this alley, and every year during the Chinese New Year, he would come to Gu's old house to pay New Year's Eve greetings after eating New Year's Eve dinner at home.

"Come on, come on, stay and eat some dumplings." Zhou Heyun opened the door for him with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, I didn't come empty-handed either!" Meng Chunyang took out an electronic LED light stick from behind as if conjuring, "We can't set off fireworks, so let's play with some atmosphere."

Gu Nian said with disgust: "How grown up, you still play with this."

"Hey, you don't want to play if you don't like it." Meng Chunyang was not annoyed, and gave the light sticks to the old man first with a smile, "Show the grandparents have fun."

"Then I want it too!" Gu Nian snatched one from Meng Chunyang's hand, turned on the switch to let it glow in his hand, the twinkling tacky lights are really pretty.

"Sister-in-law, Happy Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai! I'll give you one too." Meng Chunyang handed it to Li Yu, "I squatted in front of the TV for a long time waiting for your show, it's so good! Wow, I can't wait to announce it everywhere on the Internet This person is my sister-in-law~"

Meng Chunyang's compliments always sounded insane and sincere, which made Li Yu laugh.

"Thank you, I'll just say these two words to you, and you can eat any dumplings today."

"okay!"

The countdown sounded on the TV, and the host's emotional voice counted down the last few seconds of 2021 with the people of the whole country.

"3, 2, 1—Happy Chinese New Year!"

"happy New Year!"

As the New Year's Eve bell rang, everyone raised their glasses and clinked glasses.Everyone's face is filled with happiness and anticipation, wishing each other all the best in the new year.

In northern families, there is a custom of wrapping steel coins in dumplings, most of which are in denominations of one cent and fifty cents.Anyone who eats dumplings wrapped with steel coins means that he can make a fortune and have good luck.

Just to eat these few steel coins, the dumplings on New Year's Eve are a bit more interesting.

I don't know if Li Yu is unlucky or what, the dumplings he eats always don't have any iron in them.In the end, he couldn't eat anymore, and the steel coins were almost gone, so he hurriedly asked Gu Heliang to pick the last one for him.

Hey, to put it mildly, the last steel coin happened to be inside the dumpling that Gu Heliang gave him.

Satisfied, Li Yu patted his round belly.

But the consequence of this is that after eating so much carbohydrates in the middle of the night, Li Yu felt a little food accumulated in his stomach, and wanted to go out for a walk in the alley.

"I'll accompany you." Gu Heliang also changed his clothes with him, put on his hat and mask.

Li Yu took the fluorescent sticks given by Meng Chunyang as lighting, and walked outside the old house with Gu Heliang.

The quietness of midnight on New Year's Eve is different from that of past midnights.Although there are few pedestrians on the road and the street lights are dim, every house is lit up, and there are constant laughter and laughter. Walking on the road, I just feel safe and relaxed.

Gu Heliang and Li Yu held hands, tacitly neither said anything, just walked like this.Only the street lamps lengthen and then shorten their side-by-side shadows, and they never tire of it.

Just like that, they reached the entrance of the alley, and instead of going any further, they stood here.

The road at the end of the alley is wide and bright, and the vehicles come and go without stopping. I don't know who is still running on the road during this family reunion.

But really, this is the normal state of life.

"Li Yu."

Just as Li Yu was staring at the road, Gu Heliang let go of his hand, embraced him from behind, bent slightly, and pressed his face against his cold and soft cheek.

"Huh?" Li Yu replied softly.

"I love you."

In the white mist that only belongs to winter, Li Yu heard Gu Heliang say this in his ear.

Sincere and eager, the ice and snow will be digested in a short time, and the spring will be ushered in.

"I love you too."

Lucky for you, lucky for you.

The future is long, and it is still you.
