This year's May Day holiday saw a significant relaxation of restrictions compared to last year's nationwide lockdown. A year-long economic slump has forced officials to consider resuming economic activity in some areas, and the epidemic lockdown has shifted to a regularized prevention and control phase, meaning daily throat swabs and a seven-day green QR code allow entry to crowded places.
Vaccinations have also begun in batches. Because the first batch of vaccines is particularly potent, they are also the most effective. Many people gritted their teeth and took the vaccine. After a high fever the next day, they gradually recovered. Of course, many people with weaker constitutions couldn't withstand it and ended up testing positive, requiring them to stay in the hospital for several days.
The number of people in Shanghai had clearly recovered significantly during the May Day holiday. I drove to pick up Su Ying early in the morning. Passing by the elevated highway, cars and vehicles were packed together. After finally getting off, the road finally felt much wider.
After arriving at the school gate, Luo Bo informed Su Ying to come out of the dormitory. The guard at the school gate was still as strict as ever, but since Luo Bo parked far away, no one would come to check.
The weather was hot and humid today. Su Ying was wearing a cool beige dress, holding a parasol and carrying a small side bag. She looked around and found Luo Bo's familiar car.
After getting in the car, Luo Bo asked, "The performance is tomorrow night, how about taking you out for a walk today?"
Su Ying gathered her skirt, put away her umbrella, and said, "Okay, I'm so bored at school. I haven't left home since the start of the semester. I can't eat outside, and I'm tired of eating at school."
After listening to this, Luo Bo fastened his seat belt and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to Huaiyang cuisine today."
It was a beautiful day, perfect for a drive. The employees had their day off yesterday, and now, accustomed to Luo Bo's frequent days off and his practice of finishing work early and slacking off early, many of them, feeling grateful, had begun to work more quickly.
The best place for Huaiyang cuisine is Yangzhou. Shanghai is not far away. You can drive to the high-speed rail station and arrive there in 2 hours.
The poem mentions fireworks in Yangzhou in March. Now it is March 20th in the lunar calendar. The ancients were right.
By the Slender West Lake, willow catkins were flying, and the two of them were walking hand in hand by the lake.
The crabapple, pear, peach and cherry blossoms planted on both sides sway in the wind, and the air is filled with fragrance.
"How's the studio doing lately?" Su Ying asked.
As the two walked and looked around, Luo Bo heard someone say, "The Arknights movie is done, and we've been taking it easy lately."
"I feel a lot more relaxed recently. After we get vaccinated, we can take leave from school." Su Ying said happily.
Luo Bo's heart tightened after hearing this. If he remembered correctly, it was a few months later that an old woman playing mahjong directly closed down the entire Yangtze River Delta. At this time, many people felt that there was not much impact, especially in places where the epidemic had not yet occurred.
"No, school is still the safest. Don't go out casually unless it's a holiday, don't be anxious. After the epidemic is completely eradicated, you can enter and leave the school freely." Luo Bo said seriously.
Su Ying pouted, feeling a little unhappy. Luo Bo pulled her over and whispered in her ear, soothing her: "Don't be angry, I'm also in the studio every day. When you graduate, I'll take you on a trip."
Su Ying's anger turned into joy, but her face turned worried again: "Graduation is still two years away. Sigh, it's really hard to be locked up in school. Although I'm a homebody, I can't stay out of the school for half a year."
"It's okay. After we get through this epidemic, we can go wherever you want." Luo Bo touched her lovingly.
She was about the same height as Luo Bo in her high heels, so it was easy for her to touch him. Su Ying also missed this action, so she leaned into his arms and agreed: "Well, this is what you agreed on, pinky promise."
After the two of them made pinky promises, he couldn't help but touch his forehead against hers because of her cute look.
Su Ying blushed and huddled up in a ball: "There are so many people here."
Although there were many people at the tourist attraction, they were all wearing masks and the two of them just stopped at the designated places.
Then I found a restaurant nearby that was on the must-eat list but was in a remote location.
Huaiyang cuisine is incredibly authentic. After they sat down, Su Ying was handed the menu. As it was a rare opportunity for a change of pace, she unceremoniously ordered four or five of her favorite dishes. Luo Bo also ordered two. He instructed the kitchen to prepare smaller portions and cook them with care.
We picked up the Biluochun tea that was served and poured a cup for each person. There were a few green leaves floating in the yellow-green water. It looked very exquisite and must be new tea.
When all the dishes were served, the two couldn't help but pick up their chopsticks.
The exquisite knife skills in appearance alone are enough to whet your appetite. It tastes light but retains the freshness of the ingredients.
There was no dish with a strong flavor; even the garlic paste in the amaranth was not spicy, leaving only a light garlic aroma.
The meal made the two of them slap their stomachs. It is worthy of being a restaurant on the must-eat list. The food in this Huaiyang restaurant is considered to be the best meal Luo Bo has ever eaten.
Continue strolling in the afternoon and go to see the night view of the canal in the evening.
Although there are not many ships passing by on the river, the lights on both sides of the river reflected in the water create a unique artistic conception.
Walking in the shops along the shore, Su Ying saw some handicrafts that she liked, so Luo Bo bought one for each of them, since their backpacks were empty when they came anyway.
I didn’t have dinner at night. I ate a lot at the snack street and then went to find a hotel.
Arriving at a Home Inn, Luo Bo turned around and looked at her and asked, "One room per person?"
The girl at the front desk looked over, Su Ying hesitated for a moment and nodded to confirm, and the two of them checked into two single rooms.
