Qin Guan took a taxi home . He pushed the door open carefully and saw that his parents were sleeping . Wherever they were, they made themselves at home . Qin Guan took off his suit and fake collar, feeling slightly drunk . Sweet dreams! Sweet dreams? Of course! Qin Guan's parents had been there for several days . They were really good at socializing, so they had quickly established a good relationship with the old people and idlers of the neighborhood committees . His mother had joined the community Yangge group, and his father had made friends with Chinese chess fans . Qin Guan felt ruthlessly abandoned by them . He had prepared a map and a tour, intending to take them to the Summer Palace and other famous sights, but his plan had met a premature end . His parents had turned up their noses when they’d heard it . No one liked strolling around in the winter! Still, they led a happy life before the Spring Festival . His mother had even brought a gong and a drum home for practice . Clang, clang, clang . . .
"Qin Guan, ask your mother to stop!" "No! She didn't stop you when you watched that fishing competition at home . " Both father and son were cowards, but their neighbours would stop her . . . . … Far from her hometown, Qin Guan's mother had failed to make her traditional Spring Festival cold dish, the aniseed smoked Spanish mackerel and salty sausage . She was still able to serve them a large basin of Y city specialties though, such as assorted stewed meat . If the king of stewed dishes was the Buddha Skipping Wall, and the household stewed dishes representative was the Northeastern Chinese hotchpotch, one could say that Y city assorted stewed meat combined the merits of both . It didn’t require as much work or as many delicate ingredients as the Buddha Skipping Wall, nor was it as bold or cheap as hotchpotch . It was enjoying to watch Qin Guan’s mother cook . Both Qin Guan and his father would be satisfied with just assorted stewed meat as their New Year's Eve dinner .
Qin Guan’s mother used various ingredients for the dish, but not very expensive ones . Qin Guan helped her curiously, trying to learn from her . After cutting the sea cucumbers, pork bellies, testicles, lunch meat, carrots, chicken breasts, quail eggs, shrimp, and scallops, she boiled everything in a tasty chicken soup . Then she took out all the ingredients one by one and put them in a large celadon bowl in a flowery shape . Next, she added a little salt, ajinomoto and cooking wine to the soup and boiled it again to thicken the mixture of cornstarch and water . Finally, the soup was poured into the bowl . The dish was ready . There were also traditional steamed yellow croakers, prawns, Fushan carbonado and Spanish mackerel dumplings made by Qin Guan's father . It was a simple, but abundant New Year's Eve dinner . Joy was overflowing . Despite the strange environment, Qin Guan's parents were very happy . It was a completely new experience for them . Squabs had to leave the nest after all . Before they left though, parents liked to accompany them for a while . Qin Guan's family traditionally watched the CCTV Spring Festival Gala . They heard the sound of a few firecrackers outside . Not long after, firecrackers were forbidden in urban areas . They didn't go to sleep until they heard the New Year bell . Happy times flashed by . Several days after the Spring Festival, Qin Guan saw his parents off . His eyes were filled with tears as he watched the train speed away . Am I too sentimental?
After the winter holidays, the "The Legendary Swordsman", directed by Zhang Jizhong, was aired on CCTV without any promotion . Previous news were discussed again along with the TV show . The audience scrutinized the actors from head to toe . Fans of Linghu Chong in the original work were quite unsatisfied with the actor and his performance, but some attractive co-stars became popular . Qin Guan thought that the show had caused him more trouble . Zhang Changzhong was an idol in ladies’ hearts, but Yang Lianting had attracted a group of wired fans . At college, he often saw a boy in red with a needle and thread in his hand, who was always pretending to be embroidering in the air . It was horrifying! Qin Guan tried to talk to him, but failed . The boy would just look back at him with the most shy expression before running away . Qin Guan was completely confused . Maybe he is just playing dumb . Wang Lei had a different opinion . He thought the boy was scared off by Qin Guan's hormones . Those rotten girls on the Haijiao forum were even more terrible than male fans though . They had supreme fighting powers . They could find countless exciting points of gay love in the formal plot, full of homosexual passion . Although the actor who played Dongfang Bubai was a lady, she did a really good job portraying a man . It had to be wonderful to die in Yang Lianting's arms . Besides, Dongfang had teased Linghu Chong with his words . In the end, their love had shocked the leading actors, who had fulfilled their wish to be buried in the same grave . That year was also of significant meaning for those in favor of homosexuality, as the Netherlands had become the first nation to recognize homosexual marriage on January 1st, 2001 . One could understand the passion of those crazy fans . It was alright for Qin Guan . Other than at college, he didn't attract any special attention . The one who had influenced him the most was Ye Dong, who had resorted to extreme measures to be elected as chairman of the Student Union . He had submitted applications for all his roommates for the 39th Capital College Sports Meeting . He had also submitted a flag-bearer application for Qin Guan .
