Chapter 1029: The Luckiest Man
But no matter how much Shen Dapeng blamed himself, he had no choice. His heart was already full of pretending, and he couldn't hold other people at all. He didn't even have the desire to choose between the two. After thinking about it, he suddenly thought that today is On Valentine's Day, why didn't Cao Mengyuan make a phone call or send a text message?
Shen Dapeng suddenly got up from the bed, it was pitch black outside the window, his blurred face was reflected in the window, but his eyes were piercing and shining, he picked up the mobile phone on the table, checked the time, the minute, it was not past 12 o'clock, and he was still a lover festival day.
I found Cao Mengyuan's number in the phone book, and dialed it without thinking, but within a second, I hung up hastily, and my stomach murmured, "It's so late, she should have gone to bed early, right? Will the phone be noisy?" Wake her up? But today is Valentine's Day, maybe she's reserved and shy and doesn't want to contact her, as a man, I should take the initiative, right?"
"It doesn't matter, sending a text message won't disturb her."
Seeing that the time jumped to the minute, and it would be the next day if he hesitated, Shen Dapeng couldn't wait and couldn't help but send a text message to Cao Mengyuan, "There is no snow on Valentine's Day this year, and there will be no snow on Valentine's Day tonight." You, if you're here, even if it's snowing all over the sky, I'll feel like spring is blooming!"
After the text message was sent, a stone in Shen Dapeng's heart finally fell. He didn't expect Cao Mengyuan to reply to the message, but at least this year's Valentine's Day has no regrets, and he can sleep peacefully.
Shen Dapeng had just laid down and covered the quilt when the text message on his mobile phone rang, and he opened the text message in a panic. He never thought that Cao Mengyuan was still asleep, let alone that he would reply to the text so soon. The content was as simple as what he sent. But also full of memories and emotions.
"It's snowing on Valentine's Day in Beijing, and it's as beautiful as the heavy snow in Qingshu County last year. There is snow, but without you, but looking at your text messages at this moment, I still feel that I am the luckiest person."
Shen Dapeng looked at the time when he received the text message, it was 59:00 in 2003! In the next second when he was having fun, the time changed to: 00. The time is only a few seconds away, but it has a unique meaning. A happy and complete exclamation point is enough to add a strong meaning to the relationship between the two.
In 2003, the day after Valentine's Day was the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
According to the custom, each household will hang lanterns and eat Lantern Festival. In some more traditional families or families with older elders, the elders will also ask the younger generation a few lantern riddles. As long as you guess it, you will get a big red envelope. Yes; all kinds of lanterns are hung on the streets, and there are all kinds of lantern riddles, everyone can guess, and if you guess it, you can get a corresponding small gift, of course, it’s just a small gift.
For everyone, this year's Lantern Festival is not any different from usual,
But for the people of Qingshu County, it is a commemorative first time.
For the first time, the county invested and raised funds from large and medium-sized enterprises in the county to purchase more than 10,000 fireworks. It is scheduled to be set off at 6:30 p.m. on the Lantern Festival at the Qingshu Square in the county. The whole process of setting off will last for 20 minutes above.
Qingshu Square is built around the rivers on the east, west and south sides of the county, and Qingshu Square is located in the southernmost part of the county. On normal days, some old people fight and practice swords in the morning, and some children urinate live mud. Fortunately, the square is at this time Dancing is not very popular, and Qingshu Square is still a quiet place for people to take a walk after dinner.
In 2003, ordinary families mostly set off some firecrackers and two kicks during the Chinese New Year. Children could set off some gadgets such as sky monkeys and mine flowers. Only a few families with a little wealth would buy a few boxes of fireworks. It caused the envious and jealous eyes of the neighbors. After all, the beeps and flashes of color were exchanged for hundreds of dollars.
So when people in the county knew that fireworks would be set off for more than 20 minutes during the Lantern Festival, this year's Lantern Festival almost became the only festival that was looking forward to after the New Year's Eve. Not only the people in the county, but also the surrounding towns and villages Came here by bus, wanting to witness the brilliance of Wanfa fireworks in the night sky.
After five o'clock in the evening, the long winter night came as promised, but Qingshu Street was still brightly lit. Every shop on both sides of the street was hung with various colored lights, and the non-motorized lanes were covered with long colored lights and lantern riddles. The stalls are covered, and the crowded crowd looks like believers rushing to worship the Buddha, flowing in the direction of Qingshu Square in the south.
Shen Dapeng, Qu Yina, Mark, Jason, Sun Dapaozi, Li Zeyu, Lin Xiaoxiao, Tang Wei, everyone also moved slowly with the flow of people, sometimes guessing lantern riddles on the roadside, sometimes buying some small Some interesting gadgets for sale at the stall.
"There are...too many people." Li Zeyu stood on a rock and looked ahead, only to see crowds of people moving around, but he didn't seem to be motivated.
"Indeed, there are quite a few people. It is estimated that people from the surrounding towns have come."
Shen Dapeng was born and raised in Qingshu County and has lived for almost twenty years, but he has never seen so many people in the county since he was a child, nor imagined that so many people participated in the same activity.
"Is that much more? Every year when we set off fireworks on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in Panyun City, there are many more people than this."
Tang Wei held a bundle of fluorescent sticks he bought from someone who didn’t know where, and distributed them to everyone one by one, “Everyone took the fluorescent sticks, and shook them above their heads if they got lost. Our code is, three circles to the left Three circles to the right..."
"You still have your neck twisted and your butt twisted." Speaking of the butt, Shen Dapeng did not forget to kick Tang Wei's butt.
"Hey, Brother Peng, there are so many people watching, and you don't save me any face. If you get lost in a while, don't look for us! Tonight is such a grand day, why did Wang Xueying leave? Just leave , without even saying hello."
"..." Shen Dapeng didn't reply, his smile gradually froze to embarrassment.
"Hey, maybe Jinghu City also has a place to set off fireworks. After all, it is a 'city', so it must be more grand than our county. Isn't it normal for Xueying to go back?"
Li Zeyu didn't know what happened between Shen Dapeng and Wang Xueying last night, but he could guess from Shen Dapeng's embarrassing expression at this time, it was definitely not a wonderful experience.
"I feel that 10,000 fireworks are beautiful enough. We have never seen them in the United States. It is too extravagant."
Both Jason and Mark were gearing up with some anticipation, staring at the front of the crowd with piercing eyes. It is not that they have no conditions in the United States, but they do not have the custom of setting off fireworks. If they were not waiting to watch the fireworks today, they would take the train back to the capital during the day up.
"Okay, what are you talking about, hurry up and squeeze forward, you won't find the 'commanding height' for a while, you can't see anything, you can only smell it."
