Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Candy Blower [Asking for Recommendation Votes]
Looking at Liu Shengnan's once bright eyes under the light, but today they are extraordinarily watery, revealing a charm that people can't refuse, Zhang Weidong's heart was slightly touched, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll push the bicycle first." ”
"No, just walk over it. Liu Shengnan said.
"Well, listen to you. Zhang Weidong nodded.
Triumph Hotel is built on the river, and it is surrounded by the most prosperous section of the Wujiang River. Not far from the Triumph Hotel, there is a riverside Wujiang antique pedestrian street, which is also a famous night market in Wuzhou City. Eat, drink, shop, and have everything you need.
Zhang Weidong and Liu Shengnan were blowing the evening breeze and walking side by side under the street lamp.
The liquor has a lot of stamina, and as soon as the evening breeze blows, Liu Shengnan's wine gushes up, and he can't help but feel a little overwhelmed, and his steps are a little unstable.
Liu Shengnan's pretty face was slightly red and he secretly glanced at Zhang Weidong, seeing that he was walking forward smoothly and leisurely in front of him, Liu Shengnan hesitated, and finally reached into the crook of Zhang Weidong's arm and pulled it gently.
Holding Zhang Weidong's arm, feeling the familiar atmosphere, I don't know why Liu Shengnan has a particularly down-to-earth and relaxed feeling in his heart. Unlike in the officialdom before, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds at all times, and you have to be wary of others at all times. As for holding a man's arm, walking leisurely down the street like today, I don't even dare to think about it.
The skin of his arm suddenly felt the familiar silkiness and softness, and Zhang Weidong's body couldn't help but stiffen slightly, but it was strange that he didn't move the slightest evil thought, but felt a little distressed.
A beautiful woman in her twenties, in her prime, has to socialize outside on her birthday, but she doesn't have a confidant by her side, but she has to pull herself, a "college student" who has only met once, to accompany her. It's really not easy for women to mix officialdom!
The two walked hand in hand all the way to Wujiang, and soon arrived at Wujiang Antique Pedestrian Street.
At the end of August, Wuzhou is still so hot during the day that people can't go out, but at night the river breeze is gentle, but the temperature is a little cooler, so Wujiang Antique Pedestrian Street is not visited during the day, but at night it is very lively.
Beautiful lanterns dot the antique pedestrian street all the way, and there are a variety of special goods on both sides of the street, and you can also see many interesting folk arts, such as leather acting, on-site paper-cutting, paper carving, and folk magic......
Liu Shengnan can't remember how long it has been since he has been shopping, and every time he goes to the street, he has a strong purpose, he buys it when he sees it, and he leaves after buying it. The clothes are also basically cool colors and formal wear. It's rare to go shopping when you're idle, like other women, whether you buy something or not.
Holding Zhang Weidong's hand, walking on the bustling antique pedestrian street, Liu Shengnan, who did not have any psychological burden, felt like he had returned to his girlhood, no longer had to think about work, no longer had to be wary of the men around him all the time, and did not have to worry about being found out that as the secretary of the town party committee, she was holding a boy shopping.
"Weidong, does this hat look good?"
"Weidong, is this bag good-looking?"
"Wow, this puppet is so interesting!"
“......”
Liu Shengnan, who was in an extremely relaxed and happy mood, completely took off her cold and serious side, took Zhang Weidong's hand, walked to this stall for a while, and walked to that stall for a while.
Looking at Liu Shengnan's red face and graceful youthful posture, Zhang Weidong's mood was also infected, and he naturally took her hand and strolled around the pedestrian street with interest.
"Hey, Weidong, look, there's a candy blower there! I haven't seen it for a long time!" The two walked and walked, and suddenly Liu Shengnan pointed to the distance not far in front and shouted in surprise.
Zhang Weidong looked in the direction of her finger.xzsj8. and saw a wooden rectangular cabinet with a frame in the middle of the street not far away, and the wooden frame was filled with many interesting sugar people, including gourds, mice, roosters, piglets, and monkeys......
Behind the rectangular cabinet sat an old man dressed in simple clothes, who was blowing candy men with his cheeks, and some people were surrounded in front of the rectangular cabinet, looking at the old man blowing candy men with surprised eyes.
Seeing the old man blowing candy, Zhang Weidong couldn't help but show a trace of sentimentality in his eyes, thinking of his grandfather who had passed away. His grandfather used to be a candy blower, carrying a burden every day through the streets and alleys, and everywhere he went, he was always surrounded by children. Grandpa loved Zhang Weidong very much, and would always blow all kinds of candy men to him, so Zhang Weidong was the happiest child in the eyes of the children in the village at that time. When he grew up a little, Zhang Weidong also learned from his grandfather for a period of time because of his curiosity, although he blew a mess every time, but his grandfather laughed so much that his forehead was full of wrinkles. Later, Zhang Weidong finally learned a little bit, but his grandfather left, so Zhang Weidong cried for a long time, and specially blew several piglets for him as sacrifices.
Later, with the development of the times, there were fewer and fewer people like my grandfather who took the candy blowing man as a food craft, and the young people rarely went to learn, so the scene of children surrounding the candy blowing man gradually disappeared in the country lanes and alleys, and it can only be seen in places like Wujiang Antique Pedestrian Street.
"Weidong, hurry up!" Just when Zhang Weidong was reminded of his grandfather by the candy man, Liu Shengnan's crisp and beautiful voice came from his ears.
Zhang Weidong raised his head and saw Liu Shengnan in the crowd turning his face and waving to him, on both sides were rows of flickering lanterns, the lights reflected her face, it was so delicate and moving.
"Oh, here we are. Zhang Weidong was slightly stunned for a moment, and hurriedly strode towards Liu Shengnan.
"Weidong, look, these sugar people are so beautiful!" Squeezed into the crowd, Liu Shengnan pointed to the sugar figures on the wooden frame and exclaimed. After the amazement, he turned his gaze to the old man with anticipation and amazement. At this time, the old man was rubbing the hot syrup with his talcum-stained hands, and then picked up a section with his mouth, blowing with a slight puff of cheeks, while the other two hands gently pinched and turned the puffed up syrup.
Zhang Weidong looked at Liu Shengnan's good-looking eyes and stared at the syrup in the old man's hand with anticipation and surprise, as if he suddenly saw his former self, and he always looked at the syrup in his grandfather's hand with such eyes at that time.
Just as he was distracted, there was a sound of exclamation around him, and at this moment, the old man had already blown a little mouse, and the little mouse was vivid, and a girl took the little mouse with joy.
Seeing the girl holding the reed pole with a little mouse on it in one hand, and turning away with her boyfriend on her face full of happiness, Zhang Weidong's heart moved slightly, walked to the old man's side, and said in a low voice: "Master, can you let me personally blow a candy man to my friend, and I will pay the money." ”
Hearing this, the old man raised his head and looked at Zhang Weidong in surprise, and asked, "Young man, you can blow candy people." ”
"I learned a little bit from my grandfather when I was younger. Zhang Weidong said.
Now there are fewer and fewer candy blowers, although the old man's candy blowing business here is very good, but there is always a feeling of loneliness, I heard that Zhang Weidong's grandfather is a candy blower like himself, looking at Zhang Weidong suddenly felt more cordial, got up and smiled: "Hehe, okay, young man, come on, it doesn't matter if you don't blow well." ”
The street was full of people, Zhang Weidong walked to the old man and bent down to talk to him in a low voice, Liu Shengnan didn't hear what Zhang Weidong said to the old man clearly, seeing the old man stand up and give up his position to Zhang Weidong, he couldn't help but look surprised and puzzled, I don't know what this college student who has only met twice is going to do.
