"Don't dare to go again"!The Northeast girl went to her boyfriend's house for the first time for the New Year, and she was so tired!On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sun shines through the gaps in the curtains and warmly pours on my face. I opened my eyes in a daze, looked at my boyfriend who was still asleep next to me, and suddenly remembered that I was in the northeast thousands of miles away at the moment, and yesterday was the first time I went to my boyfriend's house for the New Year.
To be honest, I'm still in a bit of a trance. Growing up, I lived in a small town in the south, where the smell of the New Year was always light and mild, very different from the intensity and enthusiasm of the Northeast. My boyfriend is a native of Northeast China, and he invited me to his house many times to celebrate the New Year and experience the enthusiasm and excitement in the ice and snow. But I've always been a little hesitant, after all, there is a big difference between the north and the south, and I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to it. But this year, perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps to give this relationship a new start, I mustered up the courage and stepped on the train to the Northeast.
Along the way, my boyfriend described the customs of his hometown to me through **, and he spoke in a tone of Northeast dialect, which made me feel both cordial and novel. I imagined the snowy world, the enthusiastic faces, and my heart was full of anticipation and a little nervous.
The moment I arrived at my boyfriend's house, I was blown away by what I saw. The yard was covered with thick snow, red lanterns hung under the eaves, and bursts of laughter and lively conversation could be heard from the house. As soon as my boyfriend's family saw me, they warmly gathered around me, took my hand, and chatted with me in Mandarin with a strong Northeast accent. I responded with a smile, but I was a little confused, not knowing what to say.
For the next few days, it was like I had entered a whole new world. Every morning, I was pulled out of the bed by my boyfriend's mom and prepared a hearty breakfast with her. Dumplings, spring rolls, sticky bean buns, ......I was dazzled by the variety of foods I had never tried before. My boyfriend's father took him and I to visit relatives from house to house, each with its own unique customs and cuisine. I tried my best to adapt to all this, and although I felt a little tired at times, my heart was full of emotion and warmth.
The most memorable thing for me was the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Relatives of the boyfriend's family gathered around a large round table filled with various dishes and wines. My boyfriend's grandfather sat in the middle, his face flushed, and he told the history and stories of the family with great interest. I listened to his words, felt the warmth and harmony of this big family, and felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.
However, the good times are always short-lived. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, my boyfriend and I boarded the train back to the south. Sitting in the car, I looked out the window at the scenery of the Northeast that was gradually moving away, and I felt both reluctance and emotion. This trip to the Northeast made me deeply feel the differences between the North and the South and the diversity of cultures. Although there is some exhaustion and discomfort in the process, it is more about harvesting and growth.
Back home, I couldn't wait to share the experience of the Chinese New Year with my family and friends. I told them that the smell of the New Year there was so strong and lively, and the enthusiasm of the people was so sincere and simple. I also told them that although I was a little tired, I was deeply in love with the atmosphere and that feeling. Looking back now, that trip to the Northeast is still vivid. I often think of those warm faces, those delicious food, those warm scenes. They are like vivid pictures that remain in my memory forever. "Don't dare to go again"!I joked to myself. But I know that it's just because the enthusiasm and excitement are too strong for me to bear. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely set foot on that ice and snow again to feel the unique flavor and human affection of the year. Because there, there is my dear boyfriend and his family, and there is that unforgettable warmth and touch.
