Chapter 48
After pasting the window flowers, the two of them went to hang lanterns.
Ji Rang had never done this before, and he didn't even know how to open a closed lantern. Qi Ying laughed at him secretly, then pressed the ends of the lantern with her two small hands, and tried to close it in the middle, and the red lantern swelled up like an umbrella.
She put the light bulb in, with a wire long enough to reach the socket, and then she and Ji each held one and went to the balcony to hang them.
As soon as Ji Rang turned on the balcony light, he saw his underwear floating on the balcony. His face changed, and he turned off the light, then pushed Qi Ying back to the living room.
Qi Ying looked at him puzzledly.
Ji Rang stammered, "I...I'm a little thirsty after eating dumplings. Go to the kitchen and boil some water for me."
Qi Ying had no doubts and went obediently.
He quickly took off the underwear and threw it back into the bedroom like a thief.
Qi Ying came out soon. She really liked to decorate the decorations with a festive atmosphere. She asked Ji Rang to move the chairs to the balcony and she stood on them to hang the decorations. Ji Rang was holding the wires below and plugged them in when she finished hanging the decorations.
The red light instantly filled the balcony, and the deserted house suddenly seemed to become warm. When the wind blew, the lanterns swayed slightly, and the tassels fluttered, which was very beautiful.
The couplet has a red background with black characters and gold edges, and it reads "May you have smooth sailing and good fortune, and may everything go well and blessings come to your door." Ji Rang felt that this couplet was very appropriate for the occasion.
Isn't she his lucky star?
After finishing all the things she bought, the house finally had some New Year atmosphere. The Spring Festival Gala was over, and people were setting off firecrackers from time to time outside. She took the firework stick in her hand and asked him to light it for her.
Ji Rang touched his pocket and suddenly remembered that he had quit smoking.
He put the scarf on her and said, "Let's go downstairs and play. We can also buy a lighter."
Qi Ying nodded excitedly.
The small shop downstairs had closed long ago. A taxi stopped on the street and the enthusiastic driver called out to them: "Happy New Year, would you like a ride?"
Ji Rang smiled and said, "Happy New Year. Let's not sit here anymore. Let's look for a store nearby."
The driver said, "No, everything around here is closed. Are you going to the amusement park? I just took several trips to the amusement park. It's open all night tonight and there are shows."
Just as Ji Rang was about to refuse, the corner of his clothes was tugged.
Qi Ying looked up at him, holding the firework stick in her hand, her eyes sparkling with the words "I want to go!"
He laughed and said to the driver, "Okay, go ahead."
The two got on the car and drove towards the amusement park. The crowd gradually increased. When they arrived, the surroundings were as bright as day. As soon as they got off the car, they saw the lion dance in the square.
Qi Ying screamed silently, her little mouth opened wide, her hands tightly grasping the corner of his clothes.
Ji Rang felt so soft in his heart. He let her hold his clothes, went to buy tickets first, and watched the lion dance with her for a while before entering the park.
The park is more lively.
There are all kinds of recreational facilities to play, as well as floats for sightseeing. A staff member wearing a doll costume of the God of Fortune stands on the float and scatters gold ingots on both sides.
Actually, they were all chocolates. Qi Ying was so happy that she ran after the float with both hands full. The God of Wealth saw how cute she was and kept throwing chocolates in her direction. She caught a lot of chocolates, and her pockets were full of them. She stuffed more chocolates into Ji Rang's pockets.
He hasn't been to an amusement park since his mother passed away.
It has been a long, long time since he had such a lively New Year.
He looked at the little girl beside him who was surprised by everything, and his heart softened.
She didn't know what her arrival meant to him.
But it doesn't matter, she can know nothing forever, because he will give her all the tenderness and love he has left in this world.
They played until about 4am, when the excitement of the amusement park gradually died down. During this time, Qi Ying took a photo and sent it to her uncle, telling him not to worry.
After getting off the Ferris wheel, Qi Ying yawned several times. Ji Rang asked her, "Are you sleepy?"
She rubbed her eyes and nodded.
He smiled and said, "Then let's go home."
As she followed the crowd out, she met a man selling candied haws on the road. Qi Ying was already very sleepy, but when she saw the candied haws, her eyes lit up again.
Ji Rang smiled and touched her head, then went to buy one.
He walked up to her holding the string of candied haws, lowered his head and asked with a smile: "Hawthorn flavor, do you like it?"
Qi Ying was suddenly stunned.
My thoughts were suddenly pulled back to those days.
During the lively Lantern Festival, she had never seen so many people, and they followed the general, tugging at his clothes, feeling both scared and happy. There were so many gadgets she had never seen, and so many things she had never eaten.
The vendor was holding a straw stick with candied haws on it and shouting as he walked.
She had never eaten candied haws before, and she stared at them with her eyes wide open. The general noticed her thoughts, smiled, and asked the vendor to buy a bunch.
When he handed it to her, he lowered his head and asked with a smile, "Hawthorn flavor, do you like it?"
like.
I like both you and candied haws.
After many years, he reappeared in front of her, holding a string of candied haws and asked her the same question.
Qi Ying nodded vigorously, took the candied haws and ate one. It was so sweet, just as sweet and sticky as it was back then.
Seeing her eating so seriously with a smile in her eyes, Ji Rang asked her, "Is it delicious?"
She nodded happily, thought for a moment, and hesitantly handed the candied haws in her hand to his mouth. Ji Rang smiled and lowered his head to take a bite.
The two of them walked out of the amusement park while eating candied haws. There were so many people and cars outside that he tried to hail a taxi for a long time but failed. He could only walk forward and plan to call a taxi after leaving the nearby peak area.
It was approaching midnight and the sky was still dark. The moon was shining dimly. As I walked further away, the noisy crowd faded away behind me and silence returned to the surroundings.
Ji Rang was walking and calling a taxi with his cell phone in hand. Qi Ying held his clothes with one hand and held a candied haws in the other, following him in small steps.
It was early in the morning and it was New Year's Day, so it was difficult to get a taxi during this time. Ji Rang called for a taxi for a long time but there was no sign of one. He thought that if he couldn't get one, he would call his friends and ask them to drive over to pick him up.
He turned around and wanted to discuss with Qi Ying whether they should find a place to sit and wait.
When I turned around, I saw the little girl dozing off while walking, holding the string of candied haws.
Her fingers were still tightly grasping the corner of his clothes, and her legs were still taking small steps, but her little head was nodding slowly, and her long eyelashes drooped sleepily. She nodded a few times, then woke up again, and quickly licked the candied haws in her hand. But after a few seconds, her eyelids drooped again, and her little head nodded up and down.
Ji Rang felt both distressed and amused.
He stopped, leaned over slightly, put his arms around her thin waist and knees, and picked her up sideways.
Qi Ying was startled and opened her sleepy eyes.
He looked down at the little girl in his arms and whispered, "Be good, go to sleep."
Qi Ying was so sleepy. His embrace was so wide and warm, his arms were so strong, he held her very steadily, and he smelled good. She leaned softly on his shoulder and fell asleep peacefully.
At five o'clock in the morning on the long street, everything is still asleep.
The moonlight was faint, the clouds were thin, and the morning mist was just beginning to spread.
He held the light and small person in his arms, and took every step steadily. The little girl in his arms was already fast asleep, breathing slowly, and with each breath he could smell her sweet fragrance.
When we reached the tree-lined avenue lined with crabapple trees, the sky had begun to turn white, and the early-rising cleaners began to clean the streets after last night's revelry.
He didn't feel tired at all.
He looked at the little girl in his arms. The red scarf was lifted up by the slight friction and blocked her lips. She was sleeping so well, her eyelashes were long and thick, and they fluttered like butterfly wings with her breathing.
Ji Rang's heart beat so fast.
After a while, he lowered his head slightly, held his breath, and secretly kissed her lips through a thin scarf.
