bitter fireworks

The Lantern Festival came before we knew it. In the evening, nestling in Zhichun’s arms, watching the colorful fireworks in the night sky and listening to the deafening roar of the fireworks, I gently squeezed his fingers and played with them. The chin gently pressed against my head, rubbing the ends of my hair from time to time.

"Do you like it now?" He asked me softly.

"Well...if only I could be like this for the rest of my life." I looked up sideways, looked at him affectionately and said.

A ray of fireworks flashed across his face, and he looked into the distance, as if searching for the stars in the night sky, but tonight's night was very dark, except for the illumination of the fireworks, everything else was invisible. After waiting for a long time, he murmured to himself, "Hand in hand with Zi, forever and ever..."

My heart skipped a beat, my nose was sour, and the liquid swirled in my eye sockets somehow.

Looking into his soft eyes, I raised my head and spat lightly on his lips.

He hugged me, pressed those thick lips to me, kissed deeply, I felt a little suffocated, but I like this feeling, even if I can't breathe anymore...

Fireworks are still blooming in the sky, colorful, bringing us radiance and beautiful hope in the dark...

Zhichun is very handsome and fierce tonight, he stripped himself and me naked, he is like a ferocious tiger, and I became his delicacy tonight, let him invade and manipulate...

The next day, with excitement, I packed my luggage and was ready to go. My mother specially asked me to put on the thickest cotton padded clothes. Seeing me fully armed, she let me go with confidence.I heard that the north is very cold, I have never been there, I don’t know, I only know that this is the time I have worn the most since I was born...

After staying on the train for dozens of hours, I finally arrived in Shijiazhuang. When I went out, there was already a breath of spring in my hometown, but it was still snowing here. It seemed that my mother's worry was not unreasonable.The snow in the north is different from our south. The snow here will not wet your shoes when you step on it. It is dry and can be shaken off like the dust in your hometown.However, the temperature in Shijiazhuang in the first month is really low, estimated to be more than ten degrees below zero. Zhichun and I encountered such a cold climate for the first time. Both of us sniffed our noses and rubbed our hands unconsciously.Zhichun took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. An unfamiliar baritone voice came from the other end of the phone, very magnetic and with a heavy retroflex.The other party told us to wait at the exit gate, I really hope he will come soon, the cold is unbearable.

Soon, a black Audi stopped in front of us, and a man stepped out of the car. He was taller than Zhichun, with bronze skin and a short cut. At the gate of the train station, the eyes finally fell on us.He hurried up to us and said with a smile on his face, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Liu Zhichun?"

"Yes, yes, you are Manager Zhou, right?" Zhichun said politely

"Hmm... It's a pleasure to meet you!" Manager Zhou stretched out his hand while speaking.

"Long admiration..." Zhichun also stretched out his hand to hold

"Let's get in the car and chat, it's cold outside, hehe, aren't you used to it? Our Shijiazhuang is much colder than yours..." Manager Zhou put our luggage in the trunk while talking.

"It's really cold. We didn't have snow for a long time, but you have such a heavy snow here, hehe..." Zhichun got into the car while talking, and I sat next to him in the car.

"But we are dry and cold, but your south is wet and cold..." Manager Zhou started the car while talking

Manager Zhou arranged for us to the hotel, and then said that he arranged a dinner for us tonight, to welcome us, and by the way, introduced several colleagues from their company to us so that we can cooperate better in the future.

After seeing off Manager Zhou, Zhichun and I took a nice shower, and then lay down comfortably on the bed for a good night's sleep. We were so tired.

In the evening, Manager Zhou came as scheduled and brought three people with him.At the wine table, Zhichun and I had discussed that we should hide if we could, and try not to talk to them about wine, but what we didn't expect was that northerners drink too much alcohol, and liquor is also drunk in bowls, not cups. But it killed both of us. For the first time, we used bowls to drink with northern gentlemen.According to what they say, "eat big mouthfuls of meat, drink big bowls and big bowls", but the alcohol in the north is lower than our southern baijiu, and it doesn't get high, even if you get drunk and sober up, you don't have a headache. I specially ordered rice for us, because we were afraid that we would not be used to eating steamed buns and pasta. I thought the best thing to eat that night was the lamb chops. It was crispy but not greasy, and the aroma was even more tangy. The lamb chops in Shijiazhuang are indeed a great delicacy.From the conversation, we learned that Manager Zhou is from Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. After graduation, he worked in Shijiazhuang and married a wife in Shijiazhuang. Now he is the most powerful executor of the company. He is also a Mongolian. A descendant of Huang Qi, he feels that he is very forthright and humorous. He is a cute and reliable Youxiong.

The other few were directors and directors of the sales department of their company. They were all masters of drinking, and their words were even more witty and humorous. Soon Zhichun and I were defeated and both passed out drunk.We young people don’t know anything about it, and we don’t know how to play tricks. We just drink bowl after bowl. It’s really like a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers...

But this drunkenness also paid off. The next day, the company signed a contract with us and gave us an advance payment. Manager Zhou said that it was because we were honest, not treacherous, and straightforward, so he signed without hesitation. Contract, he said that many times wine taste can tell a person's character, hehe, it's a blessing in disguise, once drunk but got a contract, Zhichun and I are so happy!

After returning, Zhichun gave me a mobile phone, the reason is that we won the first battle.

Originally, we had arranged for Manager Zhou and his party to travel to our south during the May Day holiday, but something happened later.

The national ordering fair in March was held in Shijiazhuang, and we went there again. It was still a wine bureau, a dinner bureau, and gift giving to build relationships.It’s really easy to run a business, and you can speak well. Zhichun and I have also learned to be good. After all, not everyone is Manager Zhou. There are still more snobs. We also have to follow the trend. If we want to get a contract, we have to be active , and that's what we've all learned in that time...

Not long after I came back, a sad news came from the entertainment industry. My idol Leslie Cheung committed suicide by jumping off a building on April Fool’s Day. During that time, my mood fell to the bottom, and I always looked at some old “brother” videos on the Internet. and songs. I watched "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Happy Together", and "Farewell My Concubine" several times, and I listened to "The Wind Continues to Blow" and "Silence is Golden" over and over again. Zhichun also watched the computer with me every day , he knew that I liked "Brother", he just accompanied me silently, because he knew that I didn't want to talk too much. If you don't warn us, the comrades' road is really too bumpy, too sad, too difficult to walk...

Later, when SARS broke out across the country, Manager Zhou’s travel arrangements were cancelled, and we stayed at home every day. No one dared to go out for business trips or tourism. Later, not many people dared to go out in Beijing. We worked in the factory. The place is disinfected and measured every day. During that time, it was really turbulent, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers...
