Back to modern times, Her Majesty the Queen and I are both laid off

Chapter 178 Encountering something dirty

At early ten o'clock in the evening, get off work!

Then Lin Luo took Jiang Li home, saying that he wanted to hang around after get off work, but he had to put his things at home first, and he couldn't hang around with a rice cooker.

As for Gu Ruolan, she took the bus. Sorry, the electric car couldn't seat three people.

And it’s not appropriate for you to squeeze in between us.

The only regret is that I wear too thick clothes in winter. Even if I hug my waist and stick it to my waist, I still can’t feel anything.

If it were summer, it would be almost impossible to feel anything.

I heard that papaya and snow clams are effective. Do you want to buy them and trick her into eating them? It’s not for myself, but mainly because I’m worried that my children won’t be able to eat them in the future.

What, thinking too far?

No, we need to take a longer view and open up the situation.

The wind blowing in front of him was a bit cold. Jiang Li put his head behind him to block the wind and said loudly: "The modern Lantern Festival seems to be just guessing lantern riddles and singing and dancing performances. Why didn't anyone put out lanterns?" ?”

She looked up at the sky. If she were in Daqi, the sky would have been filled with bright lanterns. She would place her ardent expectations for the coming year on the Kongming lanterns and then let them fly.

But the modern night sky is as calm as water, with only a full moon hanging high and a few stars surrounding it.

"This thing is a safety hazard and can easily cause fire, so it is not allowed to be released."

Jiang Liqi said: "Let's put it this way, weren't the previous fireworks easy to cause fires? Why did so many people set them off on New Year's Eve?"

"Actually, fireworks were not allowed to be set off in previous years, but for some reason they were allowed to set off this year."

"Then maybe we won't let him go next year, right?"

"not sure."

After returning home, he poured cat food for Fat Tiger, poured the remaining glutinous rice balls in the rice cooker into the toilet and flushed it, then soaked the rice cooker with water, and Lin Luo took Jiang Li out again.

In fact, Jiang Li didn't really want to go out, and he wasn't allowed to turn on the lights. What could he do if he went out at eleven o'clock?

"What are we doing out here? Just walking around?"

"Do you want to put the lights up? If so, I will take you to put them up."

"Didn't you say that there are safety risks and you won't let me go?"

"You just need to tell me that you want to turn on the lights, and I will take care of the rest." Lin Luo's words were quite tough. There was nothing you could do about it, that's how tough a man from the northwest is.

".What you said is quite impressive."

Jiang Li sincerely lamented that when the Governor of the East Factory, the Supervisor of the General Shang Gong, and the Chief Eunuch of the Interior Ministry held great power, she had never seen Xiao Linzi say such strong words.

There is no way, no matter how powerful he is, he is still a eunuch and cannot be hardened.

"Come on, follow me."

"Don't ride a bike?"

"If you don't want to ride, it's close. We can just walk there."

In the lonely night, the two walked out of the community and finally stopped by the Wei River.

Although sky lanterns are not allowed to be put up, river lanterns are actually allowed to be put out. After all, floating in the river does not cause any safety hazards, except that the workers cleaning the river may curse.

I remember that in previous years, there would be many people setting up river lanterns here along the Wei River, and there would also be many vendors selling river lanterns setting up stalls here.

But when they arrived at the place, Lin Luo found that the Wei River was flowing slowly. There were no people on the bank, and there were no lantern vendors. This year, even river lanterns are not allowed to be released?

He looked as far as he could along the direction of the water flow. In the distance, he could see faint lights, which should be river lanterns released.

So... late?

"Originally I wanted to help you put out the river lanterns, but it seems that we arrived too late and all the lantern sellers have left."

".Then what do we do now?"

No way, why don't you go back?

Lin Luo really wanted to say this, but the key was that he had let it out and said it so forcefully. If he went back home now, where would I, Mr. Lin, put my face?

"Come on, let's look around and see if there's anything for sale nearby. If not, let's go home and make one ourselves." "Can you make a lamp?"

"No. But I can learn."

Regardless of whether it is possible or not, at least get your attitude right first. Besides, Lin Luo feels that he has very strong hands-on skills. It is not difficult to make a lamp.

If you can't make a lamp, then make a small boat and put a candle in it. It can float on the water and still be bright, and the feeling will be similar.

The streets were deserted at around 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. Occasionally, I could see three or five pedestrians. I asked several 24-hour convenience stores but none of them sold anything. Finally, Lin Luo chose a shop on the roadside that handled underworld business. .

In layman's terms, they sell wreaths, shrouds, incense, candles, and paper.

It may be a bit unlucky to buy a river lantern here, but Lin Luo believes that you can definitely buy it, because in addition to conveying blessings, the river lantern has another purpose of conveying grief and mourning for deceased relatives.

The rolling shutter door of the store was half open, leaving a gap of several dozen centimeters. The dim light shone through the gap, and the voices of many people, both men and women, could even be faintly heard.

It smells like a horror movie.

But in fact, the boss was just watching the TV program of the Lantern Festival Gala. Lin Luo squatted down and shouted into the gap: "Boss, are you still open?"

"Open for business."

There was an echo inside, and then a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties pulled up the rolling shutter door. He saw a young man and woman. He was stunned for a moment. After all, his business is quite special. It would be okay if he came to the door during the day, but this kind of two If someone comes to your door in the middle of the night, it usually means something big happened at home.

"What are you going to buy?" The boss's voice was full of sympathy. He was young and had this kind of problem in his family.

"Buy river lanterns, the kind that can float in the river."

".Are you going to put out river lanterns?"

"Ang, all the people selling river lanterns by the river are gone. Come and take a look."

"."

The mood that the boss had just brewed up disappeared in an instant. He thought the two of them were having trouble at home. You two couldn't buy a river lantern, so you bought it from me?

Today’s young people are really

Can't say.

I don’t know what a taboo is at all.

"The river lanterns here are not as beautiful as those sold outside, and their meanings are not very good. They are all for mourning relatives."

"It's okay, I happen to have someone here who needs to mourn."

"."

Okay, the young man is quite filial.

What else could the boss say? He silently went over there to dig out the river lanterns, then picked them out, and finally picked out a lotus style and came over, "You guys should buy this kind of lotus lantern. This kind is more beautiful, and it's the Chinese Valentine's Day." There are couples who wear this kind of clothes, but other styles are not suitable for you."

"Okay, then give me two. How much do they cost?"

"Just give me thirty yuan."

Lin Luo scanned the code and paid the money, then thought of something and asked, "Do you have a lighter? Get me another lighter, and I'll transfer another piece to you."

"Stop spinning." The boss felt in his pocket and finally took out his lighter, "Here, take it and use it."

"thank you."

Lin Luo was not polite, stretched out his hand to take it, and then went out with Jiang Li carrying the lotus lantern he just bought.

"You just said there are people to mourn, who are you going to mourn?"

"Of course I'm mourning myself. Are you dead over there? If so, I'll mourn you too."

The conversation between the two floated over from a distance. The shop owner was about to close the rolling shutter door. He was startled at first when he heard these words, and then he was shocked.

What the hell, did you encounter something dirty?

PS: Sorry for the long wait. I have finally finished typing. It is really difficult for one finger. Now I will start typing tomorrow’s update.
