Where do you spend the Spring Festival
What do you do during the festival
My student: Ye
Persuade her to come back or echo her
不回吧。这个月我爸妈刚来深圳看我,有时候出差回北京,也能在家里住一阵。不想挤到春运大潮里去。再说北京现在一到春节就跟空城一样,不热闹,年味又淡,还不让放鞭炮,不像小时候那样了。小时候总想去庙会吃好吃的,现在随时随地都能吃到想吃的东西。春节机票比平时贵好多。回去爸妈忙这忙那,为我准备好多,还不如让他们休息一下。红包都能微信发,礼物都快递寄回去。回不回其实没那么所谓捏~
