[Fantasy] If, now I want to go back to my hometown for Chinese New Year...

What a terrible thing it would be for those aunts and uncles ah ah ah

When returning home for the Chinese New Year, how to face relatives and friends and ask about all kinds of personal matters for white purpose, these years have always been the topic of media coverage, and even become a business opportunity for entrepreneurship. The startup also launched masks , with unlimited creativity.

After graduating from university, because of the separation of furnaces, the family provided a table for the gods. The New Year's Eve dinner was basically eaten by my family. At most, I went back to my hometown to visit Ah Gu after the meal. I don't need to donate my lungs to smoking men on New Year's Eve. Relatives, donating their eardrums, taking over the volume of chatting from aunts, and being fed and nutritious are really a lot easier.

During the elementary and high school days, my uncle and aunt could still carry the child out to compare the height and weight with the grades in school. It is obvious that boys and girls have different physiological growth stages and food intakes, so it is hard to compare them; as for the grades in school, they are asked about every subject, as if they did not ask these questions, there is no way to show that they are better at disciplining children.

However, after going to college, let alone height and weight, grades are no longer a matter of uncles and aunts, and can be used to highlight their educational performance. Because, among the children of the same generation in the Cai family, I am the only one who went to college! Uncles and aunts insist on continuing to have a higher education than their children, which is very funny.

I remember the last time I met with a large number of relatives and friends, it should have been the evening of Ah Ju's farewell family sacrifice a few years ago. I was alone. I walked through the dimly lit street in the dark. There were wreaths along the way, leading to the street of Taoyuan City Funeral Management Center. Find the mourning hall of my curse. Although Ben Gong's eight characters are very heavy, and I didn't see anything that could float, but I went all the way to the home to worship in the dark, I already felt that I gave them face very much.

When "What do you hate to be asked about when you return home during the Chinese New Year?" became a hot topic in the online community, and it was reported by the media every New Year. In fact, I didn't have any similar troubles. Entering the workplace, marriageable age, and continuing to study for more than ten years, there is almost no necessity or chance to meet relatives who are helpless to grow up. Therefore, any plots about marriage, childbirth, and salary will not burn to me.

As for my two elders, why didn't they force me to go back with them? It should be that I have become less and less easy to manipulate, right? I can't control my daughter in front of relatives, and I have some quarrels with the brainless uncles and aunts of my family, which ruins the atmosphere of the New Year, and if they lose face among brothers and sisters, it will be ugly to meet in the future.


Seeing that @ Today Dandi Daan Store always encourages everyone to think positively during the New Year, then I will also think positively. If you want to go back to your hometown for the New Year, what will it be like?

For example, a nasty uncle who used to like to ask:

How old are you now? What are you doing? (Want to ask what occupation I am doing)

I should be able to get back to him now:

It's better if you don't know. I'm afraid that it will make you feel very scary and you will not be able to have a happy New Year.

If a female elder asks:

You are so old, why are you still not married?

Then I should return:

Do you want to be like you, married into this family for decades, already nine percent ghost-like and one percent human-like. I don't want to be like you, not a person or a ghost. Horror is dead!

Or if a relative wants to introduce someone to me, it's easier to pass up.

Everyone I know will know too! Does he have two papers? There can be no dissertation disputes!

Because the original is the Cai family who has settled down, and he doesn't know any powerful objects at all. Even if there were, the other party would probably back off when they heard that I had a Ph.D. Moreover, I can't be asked to meet the kind of tire brother Ka Xiao who plays four-color cards with the elders, while playing with his legs crossed, and chewing betel nut? The point is that the characters they can come up with are also these kinds of people. (I have a cousin's husband, who is my mother's friend who played four-color cards. After playing for a long time, they looked at each other, and the two got married.)

In fact, with my current combat power, it seems that I don't have to worry about being offended at all, but those uncles and aunts need to worry more. Thinking about it, should I come back to my hometown? In the past two or three years, several annoying uncles and aunts have been suffering from big and small problems, and some have to take care of adults, so I can ask:

How long are the diaper packs? How many tablets do you change a day? Don't eat too stimulating food, otherwise it will make it difficult for the foreign domestic helper to understand the game. Be considerate of the hard work of others! All are raised by parents.
Don't blame me for saying that, who told you to be so locomotive before, and now I ask you, Mr. Bao, and it's just right. (pick nose)

Speaking of such a New Year's Eve, I think it is very exciting. These relatives who disgusted me in the past should beg me not to return to my hometown for the New Year in the future, otherwise they will not be able to celebrate the New Year well in their lifetime.
