Chapter 166 New Year's Day is coming
The government project has officially started, and Wen Shuzhou is busy again. Wen Miao has taken on a few orders, and the Lunar New Year will be here in a month and a half.
On the way back, while waiting for the traffic light, Wen Miao rolled down the car window. As New Year's Day was approaching, all the alleys seemed to have been awakened, gradually putting on festive attire, and the air was filled with joy and peace.
After taking a deep breath, Wen Miao had another plan in mind.
In the evening, when the two were having dinner, Wen Miao and Wen Shuzhou mentioned that they wanted to go to the welfare home on New Year's Day, and Wen Shuzhou agreed with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go with you then."
"Shuzhou, if you don't have enough time, I can go by myself." Wen Miao knew that Wen Shuzhou had been very busy these days and felt sorry for him.
"It's okay. I'll just be busy these few days. The tasks on hand have been mostly divided up." Wen Shuzhou said with a doting smile.
"Okay." Wen Miao raised the corners of his lips.
"Then I'll go to the supermarket tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to buy more things and take them to the welfare home on New Year's Day."
"Well, is it okay for one person? Or I'll ask Uncle Wang to help!" Wen Shuzhou was worried that the child would be tired because he bought too many things!
"Okay." Wen Miao originally planned to refuse, but when he thought about the fact that he wanted to buy a lot of things, he changed his mind.
Two days later, New Year’s Day!
Early in the morning, the sunlight gently penetrated the mist, covering the winter earth with a faint golden glow.
On this joyous day, Wen Miao drove to the welfare home with Wen Shuzhou, smiling happily. The trunk of the car was filled with shopping bags, all of which were food prepared for the children - fresh fruits, sweet cakes, and nutritious milk and snacks, each of which was Wen Miao's love and blessing for this small world of the welfare home.
Outside the gate of the welfare home, Wen Miao saw a row of small radishes from a distance. As soon as they got out of the car, they were surrounded.
"Brother Wen, brother..."
"I miss you, Brother Wen." A little carrot hugged Wen Miao's legs.
"Long-legged brother..." Some children still remembered Wen Shuzhou who came last time, and smiled at him with their little white teeth showing.
In the yard, several children were laughing around an old swing. Their laughter was clear and pleasant, like the most beautiful music in winter.
"A Miao, you're here?" the old dean laughed loudly.
Wen Miao walked towards the old dean with a smile. The eyes of the new children were sparkling with curiosity and expectation. Perhaps because outsiders did not often visit, there was an extra sense of caution in their eyes.
"Dean!" Wen Miao said softly, placed the big bag in his hand on the big table against the wall, and took out the food inside one by one.
"We have some here, too." The moment Wen Shuzhou brought the big bag to the table, it seemed as if time had stopped.
The children's eyes lit up instantly, and some of them even swallowed their saliva involuntarily. Such innocent desire made people feel sympathetic.
"A Miao, it must have cost a lot of money!" the old dean asked kindly.
"Not much, Dean." Wen Miao said with a bright smile.
"This is a gift for you. Line up and receive it. Everyone gets one, but the naughty kids don't get one!"
After hearing what Wen Miao said, the children who were crowding together just now lined up in the shortest possible time.
"Good boy." This scene made Wen Shuzhou on the side couldn't help but curl his lips and raised his hands to touch the furry heads of the little radishes.
Wen Miao distributed food while talking to the little radishes, trying to dispel the alienation in their hearts with gentle and light words. Wen Shuzhou followed suit, and looking at the happy expressions of the children, his heart was warm!
The children took the food. Some could not wait to open the packages, their little faces filled with satisfaction and happiness; others carefully kept them, as if they wanted to save them for a special moment.
"Brother, you are so kind, like an angel." During the release process, a little girl pulled the corner of his clothes and said in a childish voice.
For a moment, Wen Miao's eyes turned red, but he suppressed it.
…At noon, everyone sat together in the yard, enjoying a simple lunch. The children ate and chatted, sharing their stories and dreams. Their innocence infected everyone present. The sun shone on everyone, and the warmth was so sweet that even the air seemed to become sweet.
Wen Miao and Wen Shuzhou stayed until the evening. When they left, they moved all the things in the car to the old dean's place.
"How come you bought so many things?" The old dean looked at the bags piled up in the corner, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened. It's true that he loves the children, but he also feels sorry for Wen Miao. This child is just too kind-hearted, and he is afraid that he will suffer a loss!
"Not much, the kids like to eat it!" Wen Miao raised her lips.
"elder brother……"
"Goodbye, brother!"
The children waved goodbye to Wen Shuzhou and Wen Miao reluctantly, and some even ran over to give Wen Miao and Wen Shuzhou a big hug.
"Brother, come visit us often!"
"good."
In the car, Wen Miao looked back at the yard filled with laughter and joy from the rearview mirror, his heart filled with emotion.
Is it a holiday? There is a traffic jam on the road and the cars are moving very slowly.
On the streets, colorful decorative light strings are like a dazzling galaxy, hanging from treetops to eaves, glittering with festive joy. Red lanterns are hung high, in rows and strings, symbolizing a prosperous new year and good luck. The shop windows are carefully decorated, and the dazzling array of goods is more attractive under the lights, attracting the attention of passers-by. From time to time, people stop to admire, or excitedly discuss which gift is more suitable for relatives and friends.
The crowds of people were endless and full of laughter. Children, with innocent smiles on their faces, excitedly shuttled through the crowd, and occasionally bursts of silver bell-like laughter came. Adults were either strolling hand in hand or hurrying on their way, and everyone's face was filled with beautiful visions of the future and deep thoughts for their families. From time to time, families would go out in groups, and the loving eyes of the elderly would fall on the smiling faces of their children and grandchildren. The warmth and satisfaction made this winter warm.
"Shuzhou, find a place to park and let's go down for a walk." Wen Miao was in high spirits.
"Okay." Wen Shuzhou turned around and saw an empty space, so he parked the car.
"It's so lively!" Wen Miao felt like his eyes were not enough.
"Well, what do you want? I'll buy it!" Wen Shuzhou stayed close to his child, afraid of being separated by the crowd.
The hawking of vendors can be heard in the streets and alleys, and the steaming snack stalls are crowded with diners. The sweet aroma of candied haws, the softness of roasted sweet potatoes, the tenderness of cotton candy... Each of them is a memory of childhood and an indispensable taste of the festival. People taste the food and chat about family matters, and the simple and pure happiness is infinitely magnified at this moment.
Not far away, a large-scale celebration was taking place in the square. On the stage, there were wonderful singing and dancing performances, and the cheerful melodies and dynamic dances kept heating up the atmosphere.
"Hurry, hurry, there's a drone show over there!"
"Really? Come on, grab a good seat."
"Of course it's true. Didn't you watch the news? This was released by the city government itself."
"Shuzhou, let's go and see too." People were passing by, and Wen Miao grabbed Wen Shuzhou's wrist and started jogging.
"Okay." Wen Shuzhou was immediately happy to be pulled by the children.
As night falls and the sky becomes clear, an unprecedented drone light show is about to take place in a vast open space.
All around, crowds of people gathered, their excited chatter mixed with the children's irrepressible laughter, forming a wave of anticipation. In the distance, the silhouette of the city loomed in the night, providing a perfect backdrop for this feast in the sky.
After a slight buzzing sound, hundreds of drones seemed to emerge quietly from the void. They were arranged in a neat row, like stars suspended in the sky, waiting for the command to come. Suddenly, music sounded, a melodious and technological electronic music, which was like an invisible force, awakening these sleeping lights.
As the melody progresses, the drone swarm begins to move slowly, gathering or dispersing, like nebulae flowing in the Milky Way, weaving one breathtaking picture after another.
“How beautiful!”
"Yes, it's beautiful!"
Look, a brilliant starry sky is blooming in the night sky. Each "star" is precisely positioned by a drone and simulated by LED lights, which is more gorgeous and eye-catching than the real night sky. Then, the picture changes, and a huge "spaceship" slowly flies across the sky. It is formed by dozens of drones closely arranged and precisely controlled. It seems to be coming from a distant galaxy to explore this unknown earth.
Afterwards, the drones became the artists' brushes, sketching out vivid pictures in the night sky: from ancient castles to modern city skylines, from colorful schools of fish in the underwater world to interstellar travel in the vast universe, each scene was dazzling and amazing. The intersection of light and shadow, the fusion of technology and art, reached a perfect state at this moment.
“Wow wow wow…”
There were oohs and ahs of approval from the crowd.
Of course, the most shocking moment was when all the drones suddenly went out and the whole world seemed to be plunged into a brief darkness. Just when people were puzzled, a dazzling light burst out from the center, and the drone group re-lit at an astonishing speed, gathering into a huge heart-shaped pattern, conveying a message of love and peace to the world.
Finally, the music faded away, and the drones gradually dispersed. They turned into stars again and slowly disappeared into the night sky, leaving only the unforgettable shock and beauty in people's hearts. This drone show was not only a visual feast, but also a spiritual touch, showing the infinite possibilities of human wisdom and creativity.
