Chapter 10 Lantern Festival
The mobile phone screen finally lit up, and after Jian Muyan saw those four words, he suddenly felt that he was not looking forward to it so much, maybe he wanted to open it because of something. Jian Muyan calmly replied, "Happy New Year!" Then he threw down his phone and went to sleep.
At this time, Jian Huayan, who was snoring, didn't know that his mobile phone screen was lit up.
"Happy New Year!" A text message from an unfamiliar number.
As the saying goes, in order to have a good start to the new year, it is not allowed to sleep on the first day of the new year. So Jian Muyan and Jian Huayan got up early, Jian Huayan saw the daily strange text messages on his mobile phone, frowned, who would send him a greeting text message every month, he didn't take it seriously before, he felt that it might be someone who sent it wrong, and today he suddenly felt that it might not be as simple as sending a mistake.
"Thank you for your blessings and a Happy New Year to you! Who are you? Do we know each other? Jian Huayan typed this string of words and sent it out, and then he didn't care about his mobile phone anymore......
"You don't know me, I know you, we'll meet."
It didn't take long for Jian Huayan to look at the lit phone screen, and she might guess in her heart which crush suitor it was. It's not that he doesn't have feelings, there are a lot of girls around him, but he just doesn't want to touch his feelings, because he hasn't met the person who makes him feel excited.
He sees his feelings more thoroughly than anyone else, he is so self-evaluation, an irresponsible person like his father, he deeply understands the pain that his family is brought by his love and righteousness, especially his mother, the girl who was once loved by his father, accompanied him through the wind and rain, and after his life returned to the blandness of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, he abandoned his wife and children under his knees, deceived all the feelings of his family, and let his old mother go away with hatred......
Jian Huayan thought that the person he hated the most in this life may be someone like his father, and his understanding of emotions is not to be a person like his father.
Jian Muyan opened the window and breathed in the fresh air of the first day of the new year, the past year seemed to have changed a lot of things, some people left, some people no longer contacted, and some people would often remember; In fact, if you think about it carefully, time seems to have not changed, what has changed is us, in 2012, 19 years old......
On the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, because the students in the third year of high school will enter the classroom in advance tomorrow, Jian Huayan will return to school in a few days, so Jian Huayan and Jian Muyan brothers and sisters will go to the Lantern Festival in the center of the city together as the last carnival before Jian Muyan's college entrance examination.
"Thousands of neon trees are shining, and thousands of lights are sleepless. The sound of firecrackers removes the old trouble, and the silver flowers receive the source of wealth. This poem is the most appropriate way to describe this Lantern Festival. As soon as Jian Muyan entered the crowd, he was attracted by the lantern riddle activity in front of him, a dazzling array of lanterns shining in the night sky, and there was a lantern riddle on each lantern, and if you guessed it, you could receive a prize.
Jian Muyan was instantly full of energy, and pulled Jian Huayan to squeeze inside.
"New Year's Day (type), this I will." Jian Muyan shouted at the staff. "Isn't it 'Ming'?"
"Correct! Come and grab the sign of the third prize and go to the prize office to receive the prize. ”
Jian Muyan excitedly dragged Jian Huayan and said, "Brother, I guessed right, look, I guessed right." ”
"The most expensive manuscript fee (typing an idiom) ......" Jian Muyan hurriedly ran to write a lantern and continued to guess.
"A thousand words!" Jian Huayan and a girl beside her spoke at the same time.
Jian Muyan looked back at a girl with a ponytail standing beside Jian Huayan, not to mention how beautiful this girl was, it was her phoenix eyes that were as quiet as the sea, and at a glance, they were indescribably clear...... There's also a blunt closeness.
Jian Huayan also turned her head to look at the girl standing beside her, always feeling that she had seen the same somewhere, but she couldn't tell where the familiarity came from, it was weird.
"Boss! I said at the same time as this boy 'a thousand words', how do you think this should be calculated? ”
"Lady first, this one is yours." Jian Huayan said generously that except for occasionally "bullying" his sister at home, he is still a gentleman to other girls.
"Thank you." The girl happily accepted the medal.
"Weightlifting competitions (playing an idiom)...... Jian Huayan switched to another lantern riddle.
"It's more than that!" As soon as Jian Huayan finished reading the question, the girl guessed the puzzle again, smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry, I guessed it first this time." ”
Jian Huayan felt that he had met an opponent, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and continued to guess the next question.
"Millennial House (Hit a Writer) ......"
"Lao She!" The girl guessed again, Jian Huayan was a little unhappy, why did this girl always rob him, and guessed correctly every time.
"Yu Xiangcha into the clothes (the name of a person in the book) ......" Jian Huayan wanted to turn the tables this time, but when he saw this anagram casually, it was not simple at all, and he was not a lover of literature, let alone remember the names in it.
"Flower attack, this is the flower attack in "Dream of Red Mansions"!" This girl is really polite, and snatched the anagram he saw, Jian Huayan really felt that this girl was deliberately finding fault and doing something with him at this moment, however, this girl is really powerful, seeing that she has already held a bunch of medals in her arms, and she doesn't have any of them, it seems that this kind of literary activity is not suitable for him, a science and engineering man, Mu Yan is a little better than him......
Hey? What about Mu Yan? Jian Huayan realized that Mu Yan was no longer by his side, and he was just in a hurry to compete with this girl just now, so he didn't pay attention to being separated from Mu Yan.
Jian Huayan hurriedly squeezed out of the crowded crowd to find Mu Yan, the girl looked back at Jian Huayan's departing figure in the crowd, the corners of her mouth rose, and she smiled quietly......
On the edge of the crowd, Jian Muyan was squeezed out, one watched the shadow puppet show for a while, and one person bought a sugar gourd, she tried to call her brother, but she couldn't squeeze in, so she simply walked to the lake at the edge of the square alone, looking at the fireworks in the sky, bright and red, fleeting, and then there were new fireworks blooming in the air, continuing to fall, Jian Muyan reached out to grab it, but couldn't catch it......
At the edge of the square, many people bought Kong Ming lanterns, wrote their wishes on them, and then released the Kong Ming lanterns, which carried dreams and hopes, and created a starry sky.
Jian Muyan also saw the Kong Ming lantern that Liang Chenyi and Chen Siwan's families released together not far away, Chen Siwan clapped her hands happily, Liang Chenyi looked up at the flying lamp, hoping that her wish could come true, the college entrance examination went well, and she could be admitted to Jiaotong University!
"Mu Yan! Why are you here? I've been looking for you. Jian Huayan ran over panting.
"You won't answer your call, what about your phone?" Jian Huayan asked anxiously.
"Ang, I forgot to bring it at home...... Let's go in a hurry, I forgot to bring ......" Jian Muyan said a little lonely, "I shouted to you and shouted for a long time without moving, you just care about guessing lantern riddles with your beautiful sister!"
"Ugh! No, no...... Absolutely nothing! I am carrying forward the fine traditional culture of our motherland......"
"Brother, let's go and redeem the medal!" Jian Muyan was not interested in listening to her brother's tirade.
"The prize was a box of chocolates, I wanted to buy chocolates at the supermarket that day, but ...... Now there is a blessing. Jian Muyan came to Jian Huayan with the box of chocolates obtained from guessing lantern riddles, and then she saw that the beautiful sister just now was standing in front of her brother and talking about something.
"I'm really sorry, just now I was just interested in having fun, this is the prize of the lantern riddle you gave me just now, I already have a lot of prizes, so you don't have to give it to me, thank you!" The girl smiled and handed Jian Huayan a gift box.
"Thank you! I took it for my brother! Jian Muyan stepped forward and "unceremoniously" accepted the gift box handed over by the girl, and winked at the girl.
"Actually, it's nothing, needless to say I'm sorry, you're a scholar, guessing lantern riddles is so good, I really admire it." Jian Huayan said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm studying liberal arts, hahaha, happy Lantern Festival!" The girl turned and waved goodbye while smiling away.
"It's a shame I haven't asked for a name yet! What a beautiful young lady. Jian Muyan shook his head and sighed, pretending to be very sorry and looking at Jian Huayan.
"It's just you!" Jian Huayan knocked on Jian Muyan's skull, pretending not to understand Jian Muyan's meaning.
"Brother will take you to put Kong Ming lanterns!" Jian Huayan pulled Jian Muyan to the front of the shop selling Kong Ming lanterns on the edge of the square, and looked back at the direction where the girl left behind her.
"The college entrance examination went well! Admitted to Jiaotong University! The family is safe and happy! After Jian Muyan wrote these words, he closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart, "It must be realized!" ”
"My sister succeeded in the college entrance examination! Happy family! Jian Huayan stood on the other side of Kong Minglan and wrote down his wishes.
"I'm going to order a candle." Jian Huayan lit the candle, Jian Muyan carefully held the lantern that gradually expanded with the wind due to the heat, and watched the Kong Ming lantern gradually rise and float away from his hand, Jian Muyan felt a sense of sacred mission, this time it will definitely be realized! I will definitely go all out in the remaining months and live up to expectations!
Liang Chenyi, who was standing in the distance, followed the footsteps of his family and strolled, his eyes subconsciously seemed to be looking for something, but he couldn't give a clear answer, when his eyes stayed at the lamplight, he saw Jian Muyan putting Kong Ming lanterns by the river, but it didn't seem to be Jian Muyan, the crowd was chaotic, and the strangers who passed by in the past, vaguely familiar, but so vague, was pulled by Chen Siwan to watch the performance, and the seemingly familiar figure couldn't be found in an instant......
Many times, we are like the Kong Ming lantern floating in the sky, crumbling, but struggling upward, looking forward to colliding with our dreams, but most of the roads we have experienced are lonely night sky, and the starry sky that is wider and brighter than ourselves has been unchanged for eternity, becoming just a candlelight that is getting weaker and weaker, destined to fall, and can't stop the pace of chasing dreams when you are young.
When she got home at ten o'clock in the evening, Jian Muyan hurriedly washed up and prepared to go to bed, after all, starting tomorrow, she would embark on a new journey. As soon as I lay down, I suddenly felt that something was missing, jumped out of bed and flipped through the mobile phone on the desk that had been forgotten for a day, opened it and saw a familiar name, and sent a text message......
