One big and one small are practicing love

At 6 o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark, and the factory area was filled with people. All the ice sculptures and lanterns were lit up at the same time, and hundreds of thousands of people cheered in unison.

They stood on the lighthouse on the top of the mountain and clearly felt the strong vibrations in the air. They looked down from a high distance, and the entire factory area was like a huge gem, shining in the endless night, with a shocking beauty.

"So beautiful!" Zuo Xu and Zuo Yan looked longingly down the mountain and couldn't help but exclaim.

Bian Chang stood by the railing, quietly wiping his tears, finally completing it, finally showing that he had really done it.

"You're so old, and you still cry?" Zuo Kunmin saw Bian Chang crying, walked to her side, and whispered this.

Bian Chang looked up at Zuo Kunmin and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have done something practical through art. I used to think that art works can only be displayed in gallery exhibition halls. Brother, thank you for letting me find a sense of value." .”

Zuo Kunmin looked at Bian Chang, raised his eyebrows and smiled softly, saying: "Thank you too, for injecting new vitality into the factory area."

"Brother!" Bian Chang's tone became affectionate and said: "After talking to you that night, I felt a kind of relaxation and relief that I had never felt before, and I really let go of that matter. Blood, hometown, home, love , it seems that it really has a magical healing power. I used to hate family affection."

Zuo Kunmin thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps like you said, there is our Alaya consciousness here, which helps us find a part of ourselves that we have lost. We are connected by blood, and we have some common tasks. We must Let’s finish it together.”

While the two were talking, Zuo Xu ran over and said, "Dad, I want to go down and take a look."

Liu Xiaochen pulled Zuo Yan and followed closely, shouting: "Xiao Xu, don't run."

"Okay!" Zuo Kunmin said affirmatively, then held Bian Chang's shoulders and said, "Let's go down together and have a good look."

Before going down the tower, they went to the second floor of the lighthouse together to greet the leaders who were participating, said blessings and thanks, and said goodbye. Then they went down to the tower together and went to the ice sculpture area first.

The ice sculptures are concentrated in and around a large square in the factory area. All the ice sculptures have Chinese elements. The elegant Nuwa patching up the sky, the beautiful Chang'e flying to the moon, the eccentric Sun Wukong, the naive Zhu Bajie, the strangely shaped Zhiguai, etc.

The most amazing thing is the lights on the ice sculptures, all of which are silvery white. But its location, angle, and size are all particularly delicate and unique.

For example, when Chang'e flies to the moon at the entrance, the full moon and the auspicious clouds under Chang'e's feet are lit with silver lights. However, Chang'e only has silver-white light on the streamers on her shoulders and waist, but Chang'e's most exquisite face and clothing are not directly illuminated by any lights. . People can only vaguely see a few exquisite carvings through their peripheral vision and quiet gaze, as if they are really fairies in the sky and cannot be easily peeked by mortals.

There are also those monsters with ugly faces and bodies, but they wear exquisite flower garlands on their heads and round pearl necklaces around their necks. In the strong contrast between ugliness and beauty, the shining silver garland and pearl necklace have a soul-stirring beauty.

……

The way every place is illuminated gives those classical figures a different meaning.

When looking around, Bian Chang not only looked at the works he designed, but also looked at the tourists.

Not only did everyone smile and take photos, more people stood in front of the ice sculptures, staring quietly, talking to the people around them, and many people shed tears silently. These people are not only children, but also adults.

Bian Chang looked at the status of the tourists and knew that her goal had been achieved. The works she wants to create are not only visually aesthetic, but also touching and nourishing the soul.

"Changchang, you are really amazing!" Liu Xiaochen walked to Bian Chang and said this sincerely.

Bian Chang smiled and nodded, saying: "Thank you for your recognition, and thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Zuo Xu suddenly jumped up and down, pointing to an ice sculpture that looked like a pig and a dragon, and shouted excitedly: "Auntie, this looks just like the jade pig dragon I wear around my neck!"

"I just saw the jade pig dragon on your and Yanyan's neck and liked it very much, so I made this ice sculpture." Bian Chang said.

Zuo Yan interjected: "This was given to us by Teacher Xiaoxiao. She bought it next to the Confucius Temple in Nanjing with her prize money from the composition competition."

Bian Chang looked at Liu Xiaochen with a smile and said, "So it's you who gave it to the children! Let me tell you, how could my brother, with his stereotyped and trashy aesthetic, buy such a simple and meaningful jewelry."

Zuo Kunmin hugged Zuo Yan, stretched out a hand, patted Bian Chang on the head, and said: "Bian Chang, don't you want the rest of your salary?"

After a few people laughed for a while, they continued to look at the ice sculptures. It took more than an hour to finish visiting these ice sculptures. We were a little tired, so we came to the commercial and leisure area together, looking for a place to sit down, have something to eat and take a rest.

The so-called commercial and leisure area mainly consists of small stalls set up by retired employees and their families in the factory area, using homely tables, chairs, wire beds as bunks, or just spreading a piece of cloth on the ground to sell snacks, toys, lanterns and other small commodities.

When Zuo Kunmin set up this commercial area, he originally wanted to enrich the flower festival and provide visitors with a place to rest and replenish their energy. When they came here to take a look, they didn't expect that there were so many people. It was so crowded and lively.

All the stalls were crowded with people. Tourists were almost rushing to buy lamps and toys. There were even queues at the food stalls. They walked for a long time but could not find an empty seat. Those who set up stalls were very busy and enthusiastic.

"Dad, I want to buy a golden cudgel." Zuo Xu pointed at a stall and said loudly.

Zuo Kunmin glanced at the dark crowd in front of the stall and said, "There are too many people, so I won't buy any."

Zuo Xu pouted and said aggrievedly: "Okay then!"

"Xiao Xu likes it, so just buy it. Just wait for me and I'll buy it." Bian Chang said and squeezed towards the stall.

"Let me do it, you are so short, even if you squeeze to the front, people can't see you!" Zuo Kunmin said, and then asked Zuo Yan in his arms, "Yanyan, what do you like?"

Zuo Yan pointed to the luminous garland on the tourists' heads and said, "I want the garland."

"What about you, Xiaoxiao, what do you like?" Zuo Kunmin asked Liu Xiaochen again.

Liu Xiaochen shook his head anxiously and said, "I'm so old, I don't want anything."

Zuo Kunmin smiled, put Zuo Yan down, let Liu Xiaochen hold her, and said, "Then I'll buy it and keep an eye on Yanyan." After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Hey! Zuo Kunmin, why don't you ask me what I like?" Bian Chang shouted.

Zuo Kunmin snorted coldly and asked, "With such a high-end and elegant aesthetic, would you like these vulgar things?"

Bian Chang smiled and said: "As the saying goes, great vulgarity means great beauty!"

Zuo Kunmin ignored Bian Chang and squeezed towards the stall selling lantern decorations.
