SEC Chapter 156
Chapter 156
Shen Keyan accompanied Teng Bai to buy rock candy, and when he returned, Shen Mingjin's fish had already been prepared.
Tengbai sent him a voice of his grandfather scolding him for 1 minute, which made him very happy.
Shen Mingjin's fish really looks good, and the taste is much better than Shen Keyan imagined.
The two of them sat at the dining table and watched the Spring Festival Gala. After finishing dinner and clearing away the dishes, Shen Mingjin answered the phone. After putting them away, he carefully asked Shen Keyan: "Xiao Yan, do you have any plans for the evening?"
"You want to go out?" Shen Keyan asked Shen Mingjin back.
Shen Mingjin didn't give a clear answer, but just looked at Shen Keyan with a smile, as if he was considering his words: "No, it's just that the owner of the restaurant and a few chefs just won't go back during the Chinese New Year, and they are eating out now, so they want to call me over. It's been fine."
"I'll go find Grandpa and Ah Bai later." Shen Keyan said.
After hearing this, Shen Mingjin nodded and said, "Okay, then Dad has gone out."
Although he said to go, he didn't leave right away.
After waiting for a while, Shen Keyan put on his coat and walked out, then he put on his coat, took his wallet and mobile phone and went out.
The father and son got on the elevator. Just after the New Year's Eve dinner at this point, many people went out and rushed out the door, and many people came and went back and forth on the elevator.
Basically, adults bring their children, and the children hold firecrackers in their hands, happily "bargaining" with their parents.
Everyone was in a rare good mood, and those who knew Shen Keyan and Shen Mingjin would smile and say hello.
The two were squeezed into the innermost part of the elevator, and in the middle of the elevator were four or five children around five or six years old.
There was a little girl and a little boy who were breaking up the firecrackers because they had an argument over the uneven distribution.
The little girl looked bigger than the little boy, so she pulled the little boy angrily, and directly pulled the little boy with the meat bun face to cry.
Several parents in the elevator separated the two children in an instant, hugged them in their arms and coaxed them quickly.
Shen Mingjin watched, his eyes fell on the little boy whose face was blushing from crying for a while, then turned his head to look at Shen Keyan, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he turned his head back without saying anything.
Just when the elevator reached the first floor, a group of people rushed out, Shen Keyan and Shen Mingjin followed behind.
Walking to the door, Shen Mingjin said goodbye to Shen Keyan: "Have fun at night."
Seeing this, Shen Mingjin looked at Shen Keyan again, then turned to leave.
Shen Keyan looked at Shen Mingjin's figure who turned around, and just when the other party was about to lift his foot to leave, he said, "Dad."
Shen Mingjin stopped his movements immediately, turned around and looked at Shen Keyan with surprise and joy: "What's wrong?"
"Drink less alcohol." Shen Keyan said.
Shen Mingjin responded repeatedly, and then looked at Shen Keyan for a while, seeing that Shen Keyan didn't seem to want to say anything more, so he lifted his foot and left.
Watching Shen Mingjin leave, Shen Keyan did not go to the building where Teng Bai and his grandfather lived, but sat down in the small flower bed in the middle.
The small flower bed will be full of children, holding various firecrackers and small fireworks.
Shen Keyan stared at the children for a while, and heard some parents discussing on the bench beside them.
"Is there a fireworks show by the river tonight? My husband is in the neighborhood committee and said there will be one this year, but there were rumors about it every time in the past two years, and finally it disappeared."
"Who knows, fireworks and firecrackers have been strictly controlled in recent years. It was more than ten years ago, how beautiful it was during the Chinese New Year. The grass was green and the river was clear. I remember that it snowed on New Year's Eve one year..."
Shen Keyan's thoughts drifted away following the words of the few people.
Linhai City is close to the sea, and the temperature in winter is already at its limit. The number of snowy years in the past century can almost be counted on your fingers.
Shen Keyan has seen heavy snow in a not so strict sense once when he was so old. It is incomparable to the whiteness everywhere in northern cities, but it is also covered with snow that is about ankle height, which is enough for most people in Linhai City who have never seen snow. Excited.
Shen Keyan forgot how old he was that year, but only remembered that he was wearing the new clothes his mother bought for him, and the sleeves of the new clothes were burned when he was playing fairy sticks with the children in the community, and the feathers in the clothes ran out.
He was afraid of being scolded, so he went to find his mother with tears in his eyes, and then the snow fell.
The adults and children in the community were very happy, because it was a rare heavy snow, and a thick layer was accumulated on the ground in 10 minutes.
For a moment, the green trees, the flowers in the flower beds, and the benches were all filled with white patches, so beautiful that Xiao Shen Keyan forgot to cry for a while.
Mom seemed very happy too, not only didn't blame him for burning his clothes, but also asked him: "Does Xiaoyan want to build a snowman?"
Xiao Shen Keyan has only seen those children who look like New Year's dolls build snowmen on TV. Every time he sees him, he has to grab his mother and ask him if he can go in with them. Every time, his mother has to explain it to him. It's TV, he can't get in.
Every time Xiao Shen Keyan listened to it, he didn't remember it every time. When he asked next time, he would feel sad again.
So he was very happy to hear that he could make a snowman.
Mom went upstairs and took two pairs of gloves and came down.
The snow was really heavy that year, and Shen Keyan remembered that it was soon covered with a thick layer, and the children in the flower beds started to play snowball fights.
Little Shen Keyan played two rounds with them, was smashed to tears, and was laughed at by the children and adults around him. He was so angry that he stopped playing, and hid with his mother who was smiling happily to build a snowman.
It took the two of them an hour to build a snowman the size of Xiao Shen Keyan.
The snowman has a nose and eyes, and two branches are inserted into the fat body as hands.
Xiao Shen Keyan liked it so much that he wanted to take it home, but the snowman was too big to take him home. He cried and fussed for a while, and finally his mother coaxed him back home with five fairy sticks.
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and when he went downstairs excitedly to look, the snowman had already disappeared.
He remembered that he was sad for a long time, and he never saw such heavy snow again.
Shen Keyan was thinking about it when he suddenly felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.
He took it out and took a look, it was the news from Fujibai.
【Grandpa went out to play mahjong. 】
Shen Keyan smiled and returned the news.
[What did you do during Chinese New Year two years ago? 】
Tengbai didn't come back right away, Shen Keyan waited for a while before another message came in.
【Write the test paper, watch the Spring Festival Gala with grandpa. 】
Shen Keyan watched, thought for a while, and then went back.
[Do you want to watch the Spring Festival Gala this year? 】
Fujibai didn't return for a long time.
Shen Keyan raised his head and glanced at the child who was running around and smashing cannons in front of him.
The temperature this year is not low. Except for the few bursts of cold air a while ago, there has never been a temperature below zero. The temperature during the two days of the Chinese New Year is around ten or twenty degrees.
The probability of seeing snow is not high, but you can still play with firecrackers.
Shen Keyan looked away and looked at the phone again, but Teng Bai still didn't reply.
He chuckled and sent another message.
[Come down to the flower bed and take you to buy firecrackers. 】
He put away his phone and waited for about 2 minutes, when Fujishiro, wearing a blue and white baseball jacket, stood in front of him.
Shen Keyan looked up at Teng Bai with a smile, stood up, and walked out with Teng Bai, asking as he walked, "Have you played with firecrackers before?"
This community is in the old city, and there are mostly residents around it, and there are not many commercial buildings.
Shen Keyan remembered that it was a riverside park about five or six minutes away from the community.
The park was built earlier, and when Shen Keyan was young, he often went there with his parents for a walk after dinner.
Every time around the end of the year, there will be many small vendors selling fireworks and firecrackers in the riverside park. Because of the complete range, adults and children around will go there to buy firecrackers.
If Xiao Shen Keyan got more Xiaohonghua during the winter vacation, his mother would take him there and allow him to pick some non-dangerous firecrackers.
Shen Keyan took Tengbai to the riverside park from memory.
He hadn't been here for many years, and it was much more desolate than he remembered.
The facilities in the park have become old, and there are no longer so many people on New Year's Eve, but there are still vendors selling fireworks and firecrackers, and there are many adults playing with children in the center of the park.
The characteristic of the riverside park is that it is built by the river, and there will be a long corridor next to the water when you go deep. When it was built in the early years, there were no guardrails, because many people put river lanterns by the river, and there was a After many accidents, the guardrail was added later.
After the guardrails were added, a special place was built to put the river lanterns. Shen Keyan and Teng Bai took a look when they were walking to the hawkers selling fireworks and firecrackers. The place where the river lanterns were placed was still there, and the facilities became more complete. .
There will be no people here, only three or two young people squatting by the river to study how to put the river lights on.
The two walked to the middle of the park. When the fireworks seller saw the guests, the stall owners of several small stalls shouted at once, and an uncle in the lead came out directly, smiling very kindly, and stopped the two of them halfway.
"What do you two students want to buy? Just the two of you? I have many kinds of firecrackers here, and many boys your age like to buy them here." He said, and he took the two of them to his own store. In front of the firecracker booth.
"Kids like this kind of flower boxes love to buy them. You can put them on for half a minute when you click them! My house also has various styles, including animal flowers. You can choose whatever you want. There is also this one, a cannon lamp , each one can be placed ten times, each time the tricks come out are different, and this..."
The uncle spoke excitedly, Shen Keyan hadn't played with firecrackers for more than ten years, and the style looked familiar, but he felt a little dizzy after hearing the uncle's talk.
He thought about turning his head and looking at Tengbai. He thought that Tengbai, who had never played with firecrackers, would be somewhat confused. He didn't expect that when he turned his head, he saw the same expression on Tengbai's face when Shen Keyan took him to the vegetable market for the first time. .
Fujibai still looked expressionless, but it could be seen that he listened to the uncle's words very seriously.
When the uncle said flower box, he nodded, then turned to look at Shen Keyan.
Shen Keyan knew that he wanted it, so he held back a smile and took two boxes.
Fujibai pulled him, and then continued to follow the uncle's introduction.
Hearing the uncle talking about the Sky Cannon, Teng Bai turned his head to look at Shen Keyan again.
Shen Keyan continued to take it with the uncle with a smile, and Teng Bai came over to pull him again, and then continued to follow the uncle.
When Shen Keyan couldn't hold it anymore, Teng Bai took a bunch of firecrackers from Shen Keyan's hand to his own, and then turned back to look at Shen Keyan after hearing what he wanted.
Shen Keyan was smiling all the way down, but the happiest person was the uncle selling firecrackers.
The uncle was very happy when he walked halfway, and the more he talked, the more passionate he became. He wished that all the firecrackers in the booth were handed over to Shen Keyan and Teng Bai.
Later, when Shen Keyan saw that there were almost enough, he pulled Teng Bai down.
There was some regret in Teng Bai's eyes, but he still listened to Shen Keyan's words honestly, and went to ask the uncle to pay.
The uncle happily chatted with the two while counting the money: "You are not from the neighborhood, I have been selling fireworks and firecrackers here all these years, and I have never seen you. The two boys are so handsome, there must be many girls Like it."
Teng Bai's eyes were fixed on the firecrackers, as if he didn't listen to the uncle's words.
Shen Keyan responded vaguely, and asked the uncle: "Boss, I remember that there seemed to be a regulation restricting the setting off of firecrackers here two years ago, can these firecrackers be set off here?"
The uncle said with a smile: "Yes, please, don't worry, our city has relaxed this year, otherwise it would be impossible for us to set up a stall here, you say yes, but don't put it on the lawn over there, go to the long street by the river There aren’t many people on the porch, and it’s safe there, so I’ll give you two river lanterns, will the young man release the river lanterns?”
Teng Bai seemed to have caught the fresh vocabulary in his ears, so he turned his attention a little more, watching the uncle put two river lanterns into the bag.
The two river lanterns are not particularly exquisite styles, they are palm-sized, pink, and look like lotus flowers.
Shen Keyan let it go when he was young, but it has been too long, and he was helped by his parents when he was young, so he shook his head and said he would not.
Seeing this, the uncle said: "No, it's okay. I'm very convenient. You just put the wick in the middle, and then carefully put it into the river. It's a success if it floats up."
As he spoke, he gave the two of them a lighter and quoted the price.
Shen Keyan was about to put down the things in his hand and pay with his mobile phone, but Teng Bai had already scanned the QR code first, then took the things in the uncle's hand, and turned to look at Shen Keyan.
Seeing this, Shen Keyan said goodbye to the uncle, and then led Teng Bai to the river bank.
There was indeed no one on the river bank at this time, and the few young people who had placed the river lanterns just now had disappeared.
The lights on the river bank at night are not too bright, so adults dare not take their children to play there, only occasionally one or two couples holding hands can be seen.
Shen Keyan took Teng Bai a little deeper, walked to the place near Fanghe Deng, and put the firecrackers in his hand on the ground.
Teng Bai followed him and put the firecrackers on the ground together, then took out the things in the bag in a planned way, and arranged them in a row according to the types.
After posing like a vendor selling things, he got up, turned his head and asked Shen Keyan: "Which one does Yanyan want to play first?"
Shen Keyan is actually not that interested in firecrackers, but he hasn't played them for many years, so he wants to try them with Teng Bai.
I didn't expect Fujishiro to look forward to it so much.
Seeing that Tengbai asked seriously, Shen Keyan also carefully and cooperatively picked out one kind of firecrackers from all the firecrackers.
It is a small firework that will automatically spin up after being lit on the ground. The two bought three, which were three animals.
When he was young, he liked this kind of fireworks very much and thought they were very cute, but adults would not let him touch them, and they would only let him watch them once or twice a year.
Tengbai also seemed to be satisfied with his decision. Seeing that he had ordered, he walked over, knelt down and took a bird-shaped one, and looked at it carefully in his hand.
Seeing that he didn't get up after watching for a while, Shen Keyan went to squat beside him and asked him, "What are you looking at?"
"Instructions for use." Fujibai replied.
After answering, Tengbai also read the explanation. He turned his head and looked around with the firecrackers. Seeing that there was no one, he walked to a relatively open place and placed the little bird on the ground.
Then he took out the lighter, turned to look at Shen Keyan: "I lit it?"
Shen Keyan looked at Tengbai with a smile and nodded.
Teng Bai seriously touched the fuse on the ground of Xiaoniao's head again, and then ran back to Shen Keyan.
The moment Teng Bai ran to Shen Keyan's side, the bird turned quickly, with colorful lights emitting from its body, and even sang a nursery rhyme with a different key.
The moment the nursery rhyme came out, Shen Keyan couldn't help laughing.
Before he could finish laughing, the tinder bird had stopped turning, and its shiny body had turned gray. stopped.
Shen Keyan turned to look at Teng Bai, and found that Teng Bai was staring at the dead body of the little bird, frowning for a long time without moving.
He thought that Fujibai's beautiful fantasy in his heart was broken by the real fireworks, and after thinking about it, he said, "This kind of small fireworks is just like this, and it is more suitable for children to play with."
Hearing Shen Keyan's voice, Teng Bai turned his head to look at Shen Keyan, and said, "This boss is telling lies."
Shen Keyan didn't expect Teng Bai's focus to be on this, so he couldn't help laughing and asked: "How do you say?"
"The boss said that these animals can turn around for half a minute, and they are all high school students." Fujibai said seriously.
The laughter in Shen Keyan's throat couldn't be suppressed at all. Seeing that there was no one around, he stepped forward and hugged Teng Bai, and felt that Teng Bai's expression was funny, so he raised his hand and pinched Teng Bai's face, and asked him: "Then you don't want Did you play?"
Teng Bai grabbed Shen Keyan's hand, didn't answer right away, but hugged Shen Keyan back, then lowered his head and kissed Shen Keyan, before saying: "Play."
After speaking, he kissed Shen Keyan twice more, and then went to release the remaining pony and kitten.
There are trash cans specially placed around the year to throw fireworks. After the three and two people took the remains of the animals and threw them into the trash can, Fujibai went back to his "booth" and let the fireworks go again. Shen Keyan chooses.
Teng Bai bought a total of more than a dozen kinds of fireworks and firecrackers. The two of them set them off for nearly two hours before lighting everything up. In the end, there were only two river lanterns left. Teng Bai held them in his hands and looked at Shen Keyan.
There are slightly more people on the promenade than when the two came.
It may be because Shen Keyan and Teng Bai took the lead. Many young people bought fireworks and set them off on the river bank.
Shen Keyan looked around, thought for a moment, then grabbed Teng Bai and said, "Let's put this in another place."
Shen Keyan took Teng Bai along the corridor, walked for ten minutes, and reached the end of the corridor.
At the end of the promenade is a bridge bottom, and there are weeds near the bottom of the bridge.
In the past, when the guardrails of the park were not erected, when walking from their community to the riverside park, they basically walked under the bridge, because it was very close, and it was only about 2 minutes away.
When Shen Keyan was in elementary school, he would sometimes take the road around here when he came back from school.
It's just that after the guardrail of the riverside park was erected, it was surrounded by a circle, the shortcut became a long way, and fewer people walked under the bridge.
Shen Keyan passed by here once in the past two years. The guardrail is not too high, it reaches the waist of a person, and he can easily step over it.
He was in a hurry and took a shortcut, and walked across the guardrail from the bottom of the bridge to the riverside park.
It is secluded here, and there are no street lights, so people who stroll on the promenade rarely come to the end of this side.
Shen Keyan pulled Tengbai to the guardrail at the bottom of the bridge. He originally wanted to ask if Tengbai would turn over, but when he thought that Tengbai turned over so smoothly, he stopped asking and turned over first.
Teng Bai quickly turned over after him, still holding the two river lanterns firmly in his hands.
The road under the bridge was all uneven gravel roads, there were no lights, and it was difficult to see clearly under the moonlight, so Shen Keyan took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to illuminate the road ahead.
The two walked for a while and came to the river.
Shen Keyan took out the big bag that he hadn't thrown away just now, spread it out on the ground, sat on it, patted the place beside him to Teng Bai, and said, "We put it here."
Teng Bai put the two river lanterns on the ground aside, walked over to sit down beside Shen Keyan.
The bag wasn't too big, and the two of them were almost squeezed together, but neither of them felt uncomfortable.
Shen Keyan turned off the flashlight of the mobile phone and stuffed the mobile phone into his pocket. He brought the two river lamps and put them in front of the two of them. About thirty to forty centimeters further on was the wet river bank.
Shen Keyan turned his head and asked Teng Bai: "Do you want to release it now?"
Teng Bai looked back at Shen Keyan, and suddenly asked: "Is there any meaning in putting this?"
Shen Keyan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he started: "Ours can't be regarded as a river lantern. It's just that the park was built here before, and there were small vendors selling small things that can float on the river. Everyone thinks it's beautiful. Every year, there are many people on holidays. At that time, many people bought and released them.”
The place where the two were located was the lower reaches of the river, and many river lanterns placed in the upper reaches of the park floated down, illuminating the entire river.
River lanterns are generally in the shape of lotus flowers, but small vendors sell a wide variety of them, including those in the shape of small animals and boats.
Because there are many river lanterns in the riverside park during the Chinese New Year every year, which gradually formed a special feature, so in recent years, when the New Year’s day comes, there will be special sanitation workers going to the lower reaches of the river to deal with these things. The wreckage and the materials sold are also non-polluting and will not damage the ecology of the river.
Shen Keyan briefly talked to Teng Bai, and Teng Bai nodded and said, "Then let's play it now."
Shen Keyan had no objection, and the two of them lit the fire and put two river lanterns into the river.
The river lantern slowly floats away with the river, and the upper river lantern floats down again, and continues to float downstream with the river.
The two sat looking at the glowing river, neither of them moved for a while, and neither of them had the intention of leaving.
Until Teng Bai suddenly moved, picked up Shen Keyan beside him and put him on his lap.
The two got close all of a sudden, Teng Bai put his arms around Shen Keyan, rubbed the tip of his nose against Shen Keyan's, and whispered, "Yanyan."
"Huh?" Shen Keyan responded lightly.
"This year is the first New Year we spend together." Fujibai said.
The woman pushed open the door and looked at the dark room where only the computer screen was bright, her complexion suddenly turned ugly.
"You know how to play games every day, even during Chinese New Year. What can you do in the future!" the woman cursed with a dark face.
The person in the room with his back to the door responded without turning his head: "You scold me when you go out to play, and you scold me when you play games, so why do you feel comfortable watching me?"
These words immediately seemed to add fuel to the flames, and instantly aroused the woman's anger: "You don't know how to do your homework! You are a student, now in the third year of high school, and if you don't do your homework every day, you will be like a bastard. You won't be admitted to us in college. The family doesn’t have the money to buy you a school! Look at that kid from the old Shen’s family. After his mother died, his father became so useless. Going to Linhai High School, although the grades were a bit poor in the first two years, they knew that they had to study hard and improved so much in the third year of high school, if you were born in their family, you would have starved yourself to death!"
The woman's words seemed to have stepped on the thunder of the person inside the door. He dropped the mouse in an instant, got up and kicked off the stool and cursed: "Shen Keyan, Shen Keyan, since you were young, you all know how to compare me with him, and you like him so much, ask him to come and give me a hand!" You are sons!"
After speaking, he walked out of the room without even looking at the woman, and was about to leave the house.
The woman's eyes turned red immediately: "Luo Lingluo! Don't go home after you run out tonight! You should also pay the tuition for the second half of the year yourself!"
Luo Lingluo continued to walk outside without looking back, with a look of anger on his face: "It's like who the hell wants to go to school!"
After speaking, he opened the door directly, slammed it and left.
Luo Lingluo went out and pressed the elevator a few times. Seeing that the elevator didn't move for a long time, he cursed "stupid elevator" with red eyes, raised his hand and punched him, then turned his head and walked up the stairs.
He rushed down the stairs all the way, his head was buzzing, and he had no purpose when he got out of the building. He just walked away with his head buried, obviously very angry.
When he didn't know where to go and was blown by the cool wind, he recovered from the anger and looked around clearly.
It is the bottom of the bridge near the community.
Luo Lingluo didn't leave at all, kicked the stone at his feet, and cursed: "You are all idiots, damn it, am I my own? I know how to praise others every day. Shen Keyan can do anything but cry. Since childhood When I grow up, I know that if I slack my mouth to please adults, it's disgusting to death."
He muttered and kicked two more times, and continued to walk forward irritably.
Before taking two steps, a pair of figures suddenly bumped into his line of sight.
He glanced over and saw two people sitting by the river, one sitting in the arms of the other, kissing.
Luo Lingluo's face darkened: "Damn it, it's disgusting for idiot couples to come out at night."
After complaining, he turned his head and was about to leave, but just after taking two steps, he suddenly changed his mind, turned back and walked towards the two people.
Just halfway through, a piece of river lanterns floated down from the upper reaches of the river, making the light by the river slightly brighter by two points.
Luo Lingluo saw clearly the two people on the bank by the river lantern, stopped in an instant, and rubbed his eyes hard twice with a surprised expression.
