At the beginning of 1989, the domestic economic environment was not good.

After experiencing a series of turbulence and twists and turns in price increases, snap-ups, and sharp declines in market consumption power in 1988.

Although the consumer market is bleak and many things are already priced but not in the market, domestic prices continue to rise.

So much so that the beginning of this year was filled with gloomy and tense air.

Our official newspaper even gave a speech on New Year's Day in a rare style - "We have encountered unprecedented problems, and the most prominent one is the obvious inflation in economic life."

That's not all. On January 28, 1989, an important figure also passed away in the Republic.

That is the honorary president of the Buddhist Association and the 10th Panchen Lama Erdeni Quejijianzan.

He died of a heart attack in his palace in Shigatse City, XZ Autonomous Region at the age of 51.

Fortunately, the quality of the Spring Festival Gala this year is quite good, and finally successfully pleased the people of the whole country with its wonderful programs, and almost everyone's attention is devoted to the Spring Festival when family reunion is reunited.

This did not allow the Spring Festival to be destroyed by the "dismal start" of this year.

The directors of this Spring Festival Gala are Zhao An and Zhang Xiaohai, both of whom are talented and innovative "bearded" directors.

They have a lot of ideas about directing large-scale evening parties and have many design highlights.

They not only chose CCTV host Zhao Zhongxiang, Li Moran, Jiang Kun, Li Yang and others to form a hosting lineup, but also added a large number of crosstalk and sketches and other folk art programs to make the audience laugh on New Year's Eve.

So much so that the level of this year's folk art programs, especially the skits, has risen to an unprecedented level of excitement.

Like this year's Spring Festival Gala, Zhao Lirong and Hou Yuewen performed a sketch "A Day of a Hero Mother" in which Zhao Lirong and Hou Yuewen collaborated. The simple and interesting performances of the two make it one of the excellent works of the Spring Festival Gala.

Especially Zhao Lirong, a Pingju actor, won the hearts of countless audiences with just a mouthful of Mandarin with Tangshan flavor and the classic line "Sima Gang smashes everything".

Zhao Lirong's ordinary and sincere humorous style makes her a simple old lady who only cares about selling tofu in her sketches, and is deeply loved by the audience.

There is also the People's Art Theater actor Song Dandan, who was originally engaged in elegant art, also debuted on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time with her sketch "Laggy Blind Dating". She made the people of the whole country remember her with her outstanding humorous performance.

Even she herself did not expect that it was this sketch, the Shandong girl named "Wei Shufen" she played. She kicked the thermos and sat on the balloon again, allowing her to be promoted to a "national comedian" when she was twenty-nine years old.

As for the golden combination of sketch king Chen Peisi and Lao Mao, it lived up to expectations.

The sketch they launched this year, "Pepper Noodles", has not even a single line. It is completely in the form of pantomime. With the physical movements, it creates the images of two diners with different personalities.

Not only did the audience in front of the TV laugh, but they also fully demonstrated their excellent performance skills.

In terms of singing and dancing programs, they also "seek innovation" and "seek change", promote new songs and new people, and add a festive atmosphere.

For example, Tao Jin, a young mainland dancer, was deeply influenced by the American movie "Break Dance", also brought the song and dance program "Dance Up" in the evening party in the form of singing and dancing.

He showed amazing explosive power, not only imitating the dance moves in the movie to dance the "break dance" that was once popular last year, but also sang the fashion pursuits of young people with singing.

There is also the dance of the female dancer Yang Liping, which makes people appreciate the gifts of nature.

Her performances of "The Soul of Dance", "The Three Colors of Banna" and "The Peacock" are all beautiful.

Its dance skills and artistic conception have reached an unprecedented level of national dance.

Of course, if we talk about the most influential and most widely sung songs of this Spring Festival Gala, it is "The Dedication of Love" sung by Wei Wei.

The lyrics of this song are simple, the melody is soothing and grand, with rich connotations and sincere touching.

Wei Wei's singing is also heart-stirring.

Although Wei Wei participated in the CCTV Youth Singer Grand Prix as early as 1986 and won the second place in popular singing style.

But she became really popular after singing the song "Dedication of Love".

It can even be said that she became popular without her singing this song, and she might not have been singing the song "Asian Wind".

Finally, the actor who performed the finale was Xu Xiaofeng, the queen invited from Hong Kong City.

Perhaps because Teresa Teng took the lead in the Spring Festival Gala last year, the Hong Kong City queen who always loves to compete with her also readily agreed to the invitation from the mainland and sang in person.

Instead of just broadcasting the program recorded in Hong Kong City on live, just like the original history.

Her voice is strong and she sang affectionately. She has three songs in a row, "The Moon Sends Love in Thousands of Miles", "Season of the Wind" and "Love in Heart", which are all memorable.

Therefore, from the perspective of eye blessing and ear blessing, the audiences guarding the TV in mainland China are more blessed in this time and space than the original situation, eliminating a lot of regrets.

But life is hard to be perfect after all. Various complex emotions of joy, sorrow, separation and reunion form a world where people cannot escape the shackles of fate and always struggle desperately.

Just like on New Year's Eve this year, although most people are immersed in the happiness of their family enjoying and celebrating the festival.

But there are always some families and some people who are at important crossroads in life, facing major turning points in life, or because of difficult-to-solve objective problems or emotional problems, they cannot fully enjoy this happiness.

For example, Ning Weimin's clothing business agent in Beijing - Yin Yue.

This year, she is no longer the one who bought enough chicken, duck, fish, meat, and various snacks and candies. She wants her younger brothers to eat enough and buy a electric blanket for her grandma to feel proud and contented.

In the past few years of managing the accounts for Ning Weimin, she had long become a rich woman with the benefits Ning Weimin gave her.

Not only has his personal assets exceeded one million, but he also obtained his shareholding and became the general manager of Yunxiang International Clothing Company, bought a house and a car.

Now I live in a small courtyard in Dongsi with my grandmother and two younger brothers.

He even bought two additional buildings in Fangguyuan Community, Fangzhuang, the earliest planned wealthy area in Beijing.

I plan to keep it for my two younger brothers to use as a wedding room in the future.

It can be said that her career is quite successful now. She is undoubtedly a well-known person in the capital, but she has never fallen into the personal emotions.

This is what Yin Yue’s grandmother is most worried about and most worried about.

So after the New Year's Eve dinner, the old lady ignored her two grandchildren and let them watch TV. She specifically called Yin Yue to her house and closed the door and whispered.

"My eldest granddaughter, you are a big boss, and you should consider your personal matters."

The old man was straightforward.

Yin Yue was speechless and could only respond with silence.

"A woman's best age is only a few years. If you want to hold on, it's too late to wait and regret it."

Grandma went further, and Yin Yue had to angrily say, "Grandma, don't worry about this, okay? I'm fine now."

Yes, she is very grateful for her grandmother's concern, but such things are related to personal private feelings and emotions, so how can it be so easy to make do with it?

But then again, grandma is just as concerned about her granddaughter's marriage. Today, the old lady has prepared for a long time, so how could it be so easy to let go?

"Don't let me care? I don't care. I'm afraid you will delay yourself into an old girl."

The old lady simply made the words clear, "I want me to tell you that there are not a suitable person around you. I think Guangliang and Director Su are both good. Guangliang is kind and Director Su is considerate, and grandma can understand that they are all people who can entrust their lives, so no matter which one you choose, I can rest assured."

Needless to say, this made Yin Yue feel embarrassed and immediately blushed, even more resistant to this topic.

"Grandma, what did you say? I beg you not to make random matches? I don't choose any of them. They are just my colleagues, and I treat them as friends."

But the old lady didn't rub the sand in her eyes, and she could tell her thoughts at a glance, "Don't talk about those useless ones. To be honest, you don't like them. Are you still thinking about Manager Ning? Don't be confused, they are already married."

Yin Yue immediately became embarrassed, nodded, nor shook his head, but could only say, "It's not his business, it's just that I don't want to look for it. Besides, I have saved me, and I have always regarded him as my benefactor. Why do you say that to me..."

The old lady refused to give up, "I know that others are good, pure, calm, good character, and good looks. They are a rare smart person in the world. There are not many outstanding people like him in the country. But the problem is that the better he is, the worse it is to you. I am not afraid of anything else, but you are afraid that you can't let him go. I said why are you so stupid? If you have to measure the men around you according to his standards, then someone can still see you."

Yin Yue lowered his head and said without saying a word, "Of course I know I shouldn't do this, but I can't deliberately go to the test, right? I know you are for my own good and anxious, and you always think about me. You love me the most in this family. But there is no way to make do with this matter. If you don't have a good person, I would rather live alone. Don't force me, okay..."

When he said this, Yin Yue's grandmother had no choice.

The old man has seen many mischievous men and women in this life, and he knows his granddaughter's nature and sensitivity better.

Seeing that Yin Yue had gotten into the horns and was unwilling to come out, he had no choice but to stop here.

He sighed, his eyes were a little wet.

Unlike Yin Yue, Lan Lan has already thought about her relationship.

But thinking about it doesn't mean being free and easy.

Although on New Year's Eve, Lan Lan brought Zhao Feng, who had known each other for several months, to meet his parents, and planned to take a new step in life.

Even though her family was quite satisfied with Zhao Feng, everyone added vegetables to Zhao Feng at the dinner table, added arhat shrimp, rock candy elbows, and chrysanthemum fish to Zhao Feng, making his rice bowl high to show their recognition of this marriage.

Even Lan Lan's sister-in-law joked, "It's not that the family doesn't enter the family, but just because Comrade Zhao's name also has the word "shan", it means that Lan Lan has a fate with three lives, and is a couple in the sky."

But Lan Lan always smiled faintly, savoring her meal silently, and did not devote herself to this most important occasion for the family.

She couldn't help but get out of sight. When she looked at the colorful Spring Festival Gala on the TV, she couldn't help but wonder what that person is doing now? Where is the person? Are she also watching TV?

So much so that her father, Professor Lan, said, "Lan Lan, you should toast Comrade Zhao on behalf of us."

Lan Lan didn't hear it at all, and was still absent-mindedly placing the food and thinking about her own thoughts.

After Lan Zheng pushed her, she still stared at her brother and asked, "What are you doing?"

Lan Zheng was so amused that she touched her head and asked her if she was uncomfortable?

However, Zhao Feng smoothed out the situation and mentioned the date of the wedding next year to seek the Lan family's opinions.

But even for this matter, Lan Lan couldn't be energetic to participate in the lively discussion. She took the attitude of completely following the arrangement and kept her away from the noise at home on the excuse of cleaning up the dishes.

In the kitchen where people are not noticed, she makes a wish in the sky, hoping that someone can have a smooth career and a successful family.

This matter seemed even more important to her.

Because in her heart, she will become Zhao Feng's wife next year.

So it means that this is a farewell prayer.
Chapter completed!
