As the New Year is approaching, to prepare properly some gifts to relatives is put on the agenda.As usual, I will have some red envelopes for kids and will also purchase several cases of alcohol or some bar of cigarette for elders.So total kinds of costing are not tiny amount of money to me, maybe this is one reason why some guys are not enthusiastic about the most important festival.But, as Chinese traditional custom, everyone wants to go back hometown with their family no matter how far you work for or how slowly you progress on the way.Everyone will enjoy the happiness during the spring festival except one of my colleagues, he is still hesitating whether he should go back home for reunion, it's no because of long distance, but because he is fed up with their relatives' nosy about his private life.Sometimes, he struggles to find good excuses to meet some stupid questions from their relatives at least he thinks.He knows these questions are not spiteful, just from their good intentions, but, to my colleague will make him uncomfortable in a way, however, no matter how my colleague tries to change the subject, the relatives always carry on, that's the key point really make my colleague crazy.Meanwhile, he wouldn't express unhappy but keep smile.I can imagine how uncomfortable he is.
So, when my colleague complains about his encounters, I always comfort his that everything will be fine.
