Chapter 28 Chapter 3
Easter is an important holiday throughout the West, and the first Sunday after the full moon of the spring equinox, the resurrection of Jesus on the third day after the death of Christians, is a day to celebrate because it symbolizes rebirth and hope.
Fog City is much younger and more modern than many other cities, especially after the reconstruction in 1915, the whole city seems to be vibrant, compared to other cities, Fog City is obviously more Asian, walking on the street can meet a lot of yellow-skinned and black-haired people, they are old, children and young people, although because of racism is still prevalent, but this does not reduce people's enthusiasm for celebrating Easter.
The day before, the person in charge of the town hall will arrange for personnel to clean the streets that will be □□ the next day, and then decorate the appropriate places with flowers, Easter bunnies, balloons and eggs.
It's not the first time I've participated in a Western festival, but I'm still impressed by the enthusiasm of the locals.
Early in the morning on Sunday, Ah Zhai pressed the alarm clock and got up from putting it on, although after so many worlds, but his personality still retains some innocence and childishness, as soon as he thought of today's activities, he rolled around in bed excitedly, and fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night.
To Ah Zhai's surprise, when he got up, Tang Biyi was already busy in the kitchen. From the memory of the original owner, I learned that although Tang Biyi's parents were divorced, he should be very prosperous to live with his father, but I didn't expect this person to be able to cook.
"Actually, I just do just toast and fry steaks." Perhaps the surprise on Ah Zhai's face was too obvious, Tang Biyi explained good-naturedly, "As for a simple boiled red egg for Easter, I still know." ”
"Poof!" Looking at the young man in a royal blue suit with a blue apron with a Mickey pattern, this style of painting is too broken, which makes Ah Zhai laugh.
"What's wrong? Kindness...... Maybe my boiled eggs are too bad? Seeing Ah Zhai's eyebrows and eyes smiling towards him, Tang Biyi's ears were slightly red, and he took out an egg wrapped in red paper and boiled and dyed from the pot and handed it to Jin Zichu.
"Hahahaha!" Seeing the young man handing him the red eggs seriously, Ah Zhai couldn't help but laugh and fell on the sofa.
“…… What's wrong? Tang Biyi was rarely a little embarrassed.
"I just think, well, your style doesn't fit the kitchen, like this apron and your outfit." Laughing enough, Ah Zhai took the bowl and chopsticks and motioned to Tang Biyi to put the red eggs into the bowl, "I forgot that you grew up with a pure Western education, red eggs in traditional Chinese culture are usually the family has a newborn, and the child appears when the guests are feasted after the full moon." ”
"It's funny." Looking at the apron on his body, Tang Biyi shrugged helplessly, "Here it represents the swan crying blood, and it also represents the happiness of the goddess of life after birth, which can bring good luck and happiness to people." ”
"Well, it's the first time I've heard that I didn't really spend much of these festivals when I was with my mother, but she would still take me to look for Easter eggs." Yesterday, because I was anxious, Ah Zhai turned out the memory ball and looked at it many times, and found that the original owner really hadn't celebrated this festival much because of Tang Wanjun's busy work.
"It is said that Easter eggs are to be given to each other by relatives and friends, and I have prepared one for you, which I painted myself, and I think the painting is not bad." Although after leaving the first sub-world, Ah Zhai rarely used animation brushes, but after arriving in this world, in order to find something to do for himself, Ah Zhai began to study painting again, and under the mention of Alva, a good roommate of country A, he still prepared an easter egg for Tang Biyi in advance.
As for Alva, who received the work of Otaku Practice, he felt that he should protest with this roommate who liked the new and hated the old, but the result was directly suppressed!
"This one I drew is the little prince who has a fox and a rose at the same time." Packed his work in a wooden box, Ah Zhai opened the box and handed it to Tang Biyi, the dark blue color painted a moment of the planet, a handsome little person on the planet, from the facial features, it can probably be seen that it is Tang Biyi, and next to him is a blooming rose, and on the clouds floating in the sky there is a cute fox.
"Antoine de Saint-Exupéry?" Although his father is merry and a little irresponsible, he is still concerned about his children, this book does not actually belong to the scope of Tang Biyi's absorption of knowledge, but it is a gift from a man to his son's twelfth birthday, which was once regarded as a treasure by a teenager, but this treasure was found in his younger brother There is an identical book, he buried it in the depths of his memory, but he didn't expect it to suddenly appear today at this untouchable time, he even remembered the sentences in it, Remember what the little fox said to the prince.
"Yes, I think it's a good story, and it reminds people of beauty, so I painted it on an easter egg, and the prince who has both the little fox and the rose will not be sad because of the separation." Otaku explained.
"Thank you." Tang Biyi was obviously a little surprised, he received a lot of easter eggs when he was a child, and even some easter eggs were priceless, at least one year his unreliable father asked the trustee to give him an easter egg inlaid with diamonds, but the teenager in the second period of secondary school obviously scoffed, after all, it was just an egg, but receiving the easter egg from Ah Zhai made him still have a little touch in his heart, because of the sincerity of the person in front of him when he spoke, at least he hadn't met someone like Ah Zhai for a long time.
"But I didn't add anything else to it, I tried it before, but it all broke the eggshell." Ah Zhai smiled a little embarrassedly.
"This is for you." When he gave away the easter egg he prepared, Tang Biyi suddenly regretted it in his heart, because this easter egg was prepared by his subordinates, a luxurious silver egg inlaid with more than ten diamonds, obviously without the sincerity of Jin Zichu's preparation.
"What a tyrant!" When he was in the main world, Ah Zhai once read the news and reported the most expensive easter eggs in the world, which was recently exhibited by a mysterious collector in the United Kingdom The world's most expensive Easter eggs, whose shells were inlaid with more than 1,000 diamonds, worth 5 million pounds (about 52.07 million yuan, at that time, Ah Zhai just smiled, and saw the easter eggs in front of him that were relying on silver and opened a small carriage with pure gold and diamonds. He felt that he might not be able to understand these old-money ideas for the rest of his life, "I felt that I should keep it in the Zài bank because it was too expensive." ”
"These two days are the Easter holidays, so you can't open an account if you go to the bank." Seeing the seriousness that the young man's face couldn't hide, Tang Biyi smiled happily.
"Where did you put it before? I felt like I was going to leave it at home and I wouldn't even dare to look at □□. "Although he has lived for so many worlds, Ah Zhai has never been short of money, but he really hasn't been extravagant.
"I remember my mother had a safe."
The procrastination finally cleaned up, and the two walked out together.
Listening to the door is a pure black Cadillac eldorado sedan, Ah Otaku has seen it in the movie "The Godfather" in the main world, but it is the first time in reality, and I can't help but feel itchy in my heart.
"Do you have a driver's license?" There is no man who doesn't love cars, and Tang Biyi naturally sees Jin Zichu's appearance, but I don't know why he has an inexplicable liking for him since he first saw this young man, and when he saw his eager appearance, he only felt cute.
"Nope." Ah Zhai couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this, the original owner originally planned to go to college to learn to drive, but after Ah Zhai occupied his body, the plan was naturally put on hold.
"When to get a driver's license, it is more convenient when you travel." The two sat down, and Tang Biyi set off towards the city.
They listened to the car in an underground parking lot nearby.
The two of them walked onto the ground without even asking where the event was, as long as they followed the crowd.
Unlike domestic floats, many □□of the floats here are family-oriented, with parents and children decorating the cars for the □□, and even neighbors from the same community.
Children dressed up as rabbits or cartoon stories, holding various Easter eggs in their hands, around their necks, and even on their hats, and many people holding lilies symbolizing Easter, slowly walking behind the floats.
Otaku looked closely at the crowd's costumes, many of them were fairy tale characters, such as witches, mermaids, and of course amusing clowns, but many more were dressed in robes, holding crosses, walking barefoot, singing carols to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.
Seeing that Ah Zhai was interested in their outfits, Tang Biyi patiently explained to him the specific roles they played, as well as the stories and influences of these characters in Christianity.
A large open space was set aside in the square for the children to compete and roll eggs.
"It looks interesting, but why do they do it?" Ah Zhai watched with great interest, Easter at this time still has a strong religious atmosphere, unlike later generations that have become a festival with local characteristics that the whole people enjoy, seeing many adults gathered around, I couldn't help but pull Tang Biyi forward.
"They think that rolling eggs back and forth on the ground can make the demon tremble and torment." Tang Biyi is tall, with both Chinese and Western advantages, the two of them talk in Chinese all the way, and they are even more conspicuous, when the dressed girl passes by the two, he laughs and throws a lily and an Easter rabbit into his arms, and after a while, a large bouquet of flowers and rabbits.
"Give." Picking a white one from the blooming lily and pinning it in Tang Biyi's pocket, it looked a little more lively, "Happy holidays!" ”
"Happy Holidays!"
