Living and working in peace and contentment through the past and the present

After chasing after him, grabbing An Zhuo's arm, Ruan Li smiled softly, "Don't go in such a hurry, it's hard to find if you go astray."

Only then did An Zhuo slow down, carrying two down jackets and walking swayingly.Ruan Li took the bag without letting go of An Zhuo's arm, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"

"Let's go shopping casually, and buy what you don't need." When the cold wind blows outside, the heat on An Zhuo's face has receded a lot, and his face is not so red.

"Is it noon now? Are you hungry?" Ruan Li looked at the sky and thought it was time for dinner.

"You said I was hungry, let's go, let's eat something first, and then go shopping after eating."

The two found a place to settle for lunch, but there are too many people in the county today, and the places to eat are crowded with people waiting for others. An Zhuo and Ruan Li couldn't wait, so they decided to go shopping first and come later eat.When it was time to go shopping, the two were also hungry, their chests stuck to their backs, and their stomachs growled even in spite of the owner's will. The two compromised and immediately picked a place to solve the problem of food and clothing.

After eating, it was almost three o'clock, Ruan Li felt that it was time to go shopping, so she asked An Zhuo, "Are we going back?"

"No, I plan to stay in the county tonight, and there will be fireworks at night."

"Have a place to live?"

"There are many small hotels, 30 yuan a night. Let's find one now to rest and watch the fireworks at night."

Although there were so many people who came to the county that it could fill the entire county, there were not many people who stayed overnight, so the two picked a small hotel and planned to stay.Sitting at the front desk was a kind-looking middle-aged aunt, a very rich type, which made people like it at first glance.An Zhuo stepped forward and said, "Boss, I want a double room."

A smile spread across the rich face of the aunt, like a Maitreya Buddha, "Young man, take out your ID card for registration."

"Okay." An Zhuo responded, took out the ID card and put it on the table, the aunt took it over and registered it and asked Ruan Li, "Young man, where's yours?"

"Mine?" Ruan Li asked suspiciously, looking at the card-like thing, he frowned and said, "I don't have any."

An Zhuo's heart trembled, how could he forget this?He quickly interrupted, with a bright smile, "Auntie, he forgot to bring my brother, do you think I can do it alone?"

Auntie wondered, "These days, it's very important to check."

"We are definitely good citizens who abide by our laws. Boss, you are accommodating. We will never cause trouble for you." An Zhuo grinned and smiled with white teeth. His face was handsome and his smile was bright, which made the boss feel good , she looked at the faces of the two of them, they were not the kind of troublemakers, so after thinking about it, she was accommodating.

"Well, it's just this one time, next time it won't be so easy to talk about." While talking, he flipped through the records, circled the notebook with a ballpoint pen, and took out a key from the drawer, "Room 308, stay until noon tomorrow." A small hotel in a small place, there will never be such a thing as a computer, and all registrations are recorded in a notebook.

"Thank you boss." An Zhuo took the key, thanked him, and led Ruan Li upstairs.

"How did I forget such an important thing!" An Zhuo said angrily as he walked up the stairs.

"what's up?"

"Id card! Without an ID card, you can't go anywhere. If you go back tomorrow and don't do anything, I will help you with this matter, otherwise we won't be able to go anywhere in the spring."

Ruan Li listened, although she didn't understand what an ID card was, she knew it was an extremely important thing.The two entered Room 308, and the inside was clean. An Zhuo put his things on the table, threw himself on the white single bed and sighed comfortably, "I'm exhausted." He was not as tired as shopping at a stall.

Ruan Li also put the things in her hands away, went to the bed and sat down, rubbing An Zhuo's legs, "Take a rest if you are tired, and let's watch the fireworks later in the evening."

"En." An Zhuo murmured in reply, enjoying Ruan Li's service comfortably.Before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep. Ruan Li saw that he was asleep, stopped his movements, lightly helped An Zhuo take off his shoes, socks and coat, and then helped An Zhuo cover the quilt.Ruan Li's eyes were soft as he stroked An Zhuo's soft hair, he lowered his head and kissed An Zhuo's forehead, and left in a moment.Then he himself took off his shoes, socks and coat and fell to sleep on another bed.

When the two woke up again, the lights were already on.An Zhuo sat up abruptly, and quickly called Ruan Li who was in the next bed, "Ruan Li, get up, it's getting late, or you'll miss the fireworks."

Ruan Li woke up in a daze, and regained clarity for a moment. The two of them quickly put on their clothes and went out with the key.The two went out to the street. It was already dark at this time, and the street lamps and the neon lights on the doors of the shops in the whole county made the dark night yellow.This is the first time Ruan Li has seen colorful neon lights, and he couldn't help pointing at the neon lights and asked in surprise, "What are those?"

"Neon lights." An Zhuo said with a smile, "It's beautiful, these will light up at night, and they come in all kinds of colors. In fact, it's the same principle as the incandescent lights at home, but with more colors."

Ruan Li nodded half understanding, feeling that modern things are really strange.An Zhuo looked at Ruan Li and smiled, and said, "It will be more beautiful when the fireworks are set off later."

"I've seen fireworks."

An Zhuo smiled even wider, "Modern fireworks are much more beautiful than ancient ones."

After being told by An Zhuo, Ruan Li looked forward to it.

The moon is not bright in the sky, the stars cannot be seen, and the hazy moonlight casts a little bit of cold light through the clouds. The weather tonight is not very good.The cold wind blew through the alleys on both sides, An Zhuo froze and gasped, "The weather is not very good, and I don't know if it will rain."

"Probably not." Ruan Li pulled down An Zhuo's hand and covered it.At this time, there are more and more people on the road, and they are not giving way compared to the daytime. Even if the people in the countryside and the town have gone back during the daytime, they can't resist the people from the whole county going out to watch the fireworks at night.In this case, two people holding hands can not attract other people's attention.

At seven o'clock, all the institutions and big businesses in the county set off fireworks on the roof of the building as they had agreed.

With a loud bang, a firework bloomed above people's heads, and the dazzling fireworks with beautiful shapes gradually dissipated, leaving behind a wisp of blue smoke, which drove other people.One sound after another sounded, and the fireworks bloomed over the entire county, illuminating a whole street.Everyone under the fireworks is shrouded in the fireworks, and the light of the fireworks shines on people's faces, flickering and dimming, and everyone is immersed in this rare beauty.

"Isn't it beautiful?" An Zhuo looked up at the sky with a smile, and asked Ruan Li beside him.

"Beautiful." Ruan Li sighed, "It turns out that fireworks can be so beautiful."

"Huh? It's snowing." A snowflake swirled and landed on the tip of An Zhuo's nose. It was cool, An Zhuo raised his hand and waited for the other snowflakes to fall, "I thought it would rain."

Ruan Li turned his head and saw An Zhuo raised his head, smiling brightly, his eyes were shining brightly, so beautiful that he couldn't believe it, he was momentarily fascinated by it.Ruan Li found that these days, he often looked at An Zhuo and was in a daze.

"Let's go, go to the river. There are neon lights all the way there. With fireworks and snow, it must be beautiful." After An Zhuo finished catching a snowflake, he pulled Ruan Li forward with a smile on his face. The beauty is not very enthusiastic, but this year he just wants Ruan Li to see this beauty, this modern beauty.

Ruan Li followed An Zhuo's footsteps, felt the warmth in his palm, and suddenly thought, I really want to go on like this forever, without end.

The snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, and many people went home. An Zhuo pulled Ruan Li and insisted on coming to the river. When they got to the river, there was basically no one there.The two banks of the river are decorated with colorful lights, which flicker and extinguish, which is very beautiful. The white fluffy snow falls from the sky, and the gorgeous fireworks fly into the sky. The three things form an unparalleled beauty.An Zhuo leaned against the fence by the river, looked up, with a peaceful and happy expression on his face.He said quietly, "In the past, I didn't come to watch the fireworks. I always felt that it was too lonely to watch alone. It's great to have you here this year."

An Zhuo looked at the beautiful scenery, Ruan Li looked at An Zhuo, An Zhuo's expression was more beautiful than the beautiful scenery, he couldn't help touching An Zhuo's face, An Zhuo turned his eyes suspiciously, and met a soft lips...

Until many years later, Ruan Li and An Zhuo could never forget the fireworks, the snow, and the kiss of this year...
