Restarting 16 Years Old, the Champion is Tiger and Tea

The atmosphere at the table became lively.

Several adults began to discuss national policies and the changes in some southern cities with great interest.

Wen Xin listened and was delighted.

This trip was really worthwhile. Having such a living example is better than countless boring sermons from myself.

Wen Xin looked at Li Haoyun who was peeling garlic and whispered:

"Sister, have you ever been to the park wholesale market? My uncle said it was so lively, I want to go and see it."

"I've been there many times. There are a lot of things there, and the prices are much cheaper than in the shops. My classmates all buy clothes there. I'll take you there in a couple of days."

Wen Xin looked forward to it.

The Park Wholesale Market has been super famous since the 1990s. I really want to see what it looked like when it first started.

......

Wen Xin followed Li Haotian and Li Haoyun to the gate to set off a string of firecrackers. When they came back, the New Year's Eve dinner was already on the table.

Li Haotian went to Aunt Liu's house with a plate of braised pork and brought back a plate of braised pig's trotters.

This is an old tradition in their courtyard. It used to be more lively when the three families lived together and the children were all there.

The stove in the room was burning with the best anthracite coal that had been specially reserved. The fire was so strong that the stove was even glowing red.

The news is playing on TV.

This is the color TV that grandma just replaced this year. The picture is much better than the black and white TV at Wen Xin's house.

The steaming house, the lively family, Wen Xin was so happy that she wanted to cry.

How wonderful it is! All my family members are healthy, I am still young, and everything is full of hope.

......

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone hurried to clean up the pots and bowls and sat in front of the TV before eight o’clock, eagerly waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to begin.

The studio was so plain that it looked like a tea party, and the actors and singers who were dressed conservatively brought great joy and enjoyment to everyone.

Wen Xin thought of the dazzlingly gorgeous stage and the actors' exquisite hair many years later, but what was missing was the warmth and joy of this era.

It was not until the song "The Beauty of Spring" came out that Li Haoyun suddenly became excited.

"Wow, it's so beautiful. Hong Kong stars are just different. What a beautiful song."

Wen Xin kept nodding in agreement.

This was her favorite song when she was in high school.

In my previous life, when I listened to it again when I was in my forties or fifties, I could still seem to feel the warm sunshine of the spring when I was seventeen.

Many times, people like to listen to old songs just because they miss themselves when they first heard the song.

It was approaching midnight and Wen Xin was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, but her grandma started to prepare dumplings with great energy.

The dumplings were served on the table, and the firecrackers lit by Li Haotian at the door started to pop.

The sound of firecrackers all over the city is the expectations and blessings of the people who stay up all night for the new year.

......

Cloud City, thousands of miles away.

The Chai family had a very miserable New Year. The mother and daughter just had dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner.

After dinner, Chai Yuxuan put the remaining dumplings into a lunch box and carried it out.

Wang Huifang used to ask where she was going and when she would be back, but now she doesn't dare to say a word.

Every time he asked, his son's face, which was exactly like his father's, would frown and have a frighteningly cold expression.

Forget it, just let him be.

Anyway, my son has always been a good boy who gets first place, and his ideas are better than mine.

My husband is already like this, I can’t let my son leave me.

......

Chai Yuxuan rode his bike through the night breeze.

The air was filled with the smell of firecrackers, and the streets were dimly lit. Except for the occasional person who came out to set off firecrackers, the streets were empty.

But his heart was burning.

The person who depended on him wholeheartedly was waiting for him eagerly.

These days, without any restraint, the Liu family, who have been shut up and locked up...

Chai family.

Wang Huifang was sitting alone on the bed, covered with a quilt, with disheveled hair and a dull look in her eyes.

The fire in the room had gone out long ago, and it was as cold as an ice cellar.

But no matter how cold it is, it can't be colder than her heart.

......

New Year's Day.

Wen Xin, who didn't get enough sleep, was dragged out of bed by Li Yan.

"Hurry up and get up. We need to wish our grandma, uncle and aunt a happy new year."

Wen Xin combed her hair and came out of the bedroom. When she saw the adults in the living room, they started to greet each other and received three red envelopes.

She touched it quietly and felt it was quite thick, so she must have gained a lot.

After breakfast, Wen Xin followed Li Haoyun and Li Haotian out. Finally, Li Haotian's wish came true and they went to Beihai Park to skate together.

There are so many people in Beihai Park, and it’s even more lively on the ice.

Wen Xin didn't have ice skates, so Li Haoyun asked her to put on his. He held her hand and slowly slid her on the ice. Soon Wen Xin was able to skate independently.

"Xinxin, you are so amazing. You learned it so quickly." Li Haoyun and Li Haotian were full of admiration.

Wen Xin felt a little ashamed.

Ice skating was something I was quite good at in my previous life. I learned it when I was in college.

"Li Haotian, who is this?"

A somewhat shrill female voice sounded.

Wen Xin looked up and met a pair of eyes that looked somewhat hostile.

Wen Xin was wearing the orange puffer jacket she had just bought yesterday. She had her hair tied up in a high ponytail and her face was pink and tender. You couldn't tell at all that she was from a small county town.

"Xia Qing, you are here too. This is my cousin, my aunt's cousin."

Li Haotian smiled and touched his head, his ears slightly red.

Xia Qing......

A flash of inspiration came to Wen Xin's mind.

This is Xia Qing, Li Haotian’s white moonlight.

After graduating from university, Xia Qing went abroad and was nearly thirty years old when she returned.

For a long time, Xia Qing, who founded a foreign trade company in China, had been in contact with Li Haotian, who was already married and had children. Li Haotian used his position to help Xia Qing a lot.

Xia Qing was also involved in the economic case that eventually went wrong.

In the previous life, Wen Xin had never met Xia Qing, but he had always heard of her name.

She raised her eyes and looked quietly at the slender girl in front of her with her hair loose and wearing a red woolen coat.

She is not very pretty, but she has fair skin, thin eyebrows and eyes, and has a kind of delicate beauty.

Li Haotian introduced Li Haoyun again. Xia Qing's face turned a little red. After saying hello, she skated away with the friend who greeted her.

Wen Xin looked at Li Haotian's eyes following him, touched his arm, and shuddered exaggeratedly.

"Eh... this person's eyes are very uncomfortable. I even have goose bumps."

Wen Xin was exaggerating, but Xia Qing did give people an uncomfortable feeling. With her fifty-year-old eyes, she could see the gloom and scheming in her eyes at a glance.

Li Haoyun also nodded: "Yeah, I also felt a little uncomfortable, and thought it was an illusion."

Li Haotian glanced at them disapprovingly and shook his head: "You girls are the ones who have a lot of things to do."

Wen Xin looked at Li Haotian, who was skating around them with great joy, and knew that there was still a long way to go.
