Chapter 554 Fireworks Show
"That's good enough. You haven't forgotten your sister. That's enough!" Qiao Ruixue grabbed the clothes and ran upstairs to try them on.
These days, Qiao Ruida helped the lithography machine R&D team improve their products and did not return to school early. His sister Qiao Ruixue was busy with a class reunion, traveling around and taking photos with a few of her friends, and also did not return to school early.
"Xiao Da, I heard that your Ruida Group is going to have a fireworks show tonight. Where exactly is it going to be?" Father Qiao Jingkang was not interested in things like clothes and shoes. Instead, he was very interested in the fireworks show and pulled Qiao Ruida to ask.
"It's at Cuiwei Square next to Cuiwei Lake in the development zone. Dad, if you're interested, let's drive over to see it later."
"Of course I am interested. I still remember the last time I saw a large-scale fireworks show when I was working in a state-owned electronics factory. At that time, the reform and opening up had just begun. Our electronics factory produced a lot of small electrical appliances for export and earned a lot of money. The old factory director was so happy that he allocated 100,000 yuan to organize a fireworks show. The gorgeous fireworks and the colorful colors are still fresh in my memory."
After dinner, Qiao Ruida's family drove to Cuiwei Square to watch the fireworks show. When they were leaving, they happened to meet Du Qingqing's family. The two families had the same purpose of going out at night, which was to go to Cuiwei Square to watch the fireworks show, so they went together.
In early spring, the weather is still cold, especially at night, when the temperature still drops to below zero degrees. You need to wear down jackets to resist the biting cold wind. However, the cold temperature did not stop people's enthusiasm. There are still a large number of citizens who take various means of transportation to travel. Their destination is surprisingly consistent, that is, Cuiwei Square in the southern development zone of the city. Decheng City is too small. The news that Ruida Group spent millions to organize a fireworks show spread throughout Decheng City and surrounding areas in just a few days.
Qiao Ruida drove an MPV with his family on the street, surrounded by vehicles and pedestrians. Their means of transportation are also varied, including sedans, vans, SUVs, electric tricycles, electric bicycles, and pure human-powered tricycles and bicycles.
"Wow, there are so many people outside, all rushing to the development zone. Aren't they all going to watch the fireworks show?"
"That should be it. It's so cold outside at this late hour, but you still insist on going out. I can't think of any other reason besides watching the fireworks display."
"With so many people from the whole city rushing over, can Cuiwei Plaza accommodate them? I don't want to see so many people there."
"Don't worry, no matter how many people there are, it's only tens of thousands, and the expanded Cuiwei Square can easily accommodate them. You went to Beijing to study in the past two years, so you don't know the development of Decheng City. With two major taxpayers, Ruida Automobile Factory and Rockchip Wafer Factory, the municipal government is not short of money. In the past two years, it has put a lot of effort into the appearance of the city, and has built and expanded many parks and squares, including Cuiwei Lake Park and Cuiwei Square. Cuiwei Lake Park has been expanded to at least twice its original size, and a lot of various buildings and cultural landscapes have also been added. Cuiwei Square has expanded more than ten times, and there are many fountains, sculptures, and flower beds inside. It has become the largest square in our Decheng City and one of the city's symbols."
"Is that so? Then I feel relieved."
Ten minutes later, two cars arrived at Cuiwei Square one after another, and found an empty parking space at the edge and parked the car. Then the two families got out of the car one after another, chatting and laughing all the way, and walked towards the square. Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing fell to the end, and the two held hands again, whispering some earthy love words.
Cuiwei Square was brightly lit and crowded tonight, making it particularly lively. On the outer side, there were many snack stalls selling spicy hot pot, lamb skewers, roujiamo, cotton candy, and all kinds of snacks. The dazzling array of food attracted a large number of citizens, especially children, and the business was booming. There were all kinds of shouting, noise, and crying mixed together. Some people thought it was noisy, but others heard peace and joy, and heard the prosperity of the event.
"Honey, I want to eat grilled skewers. Can you buy me some?" When passing by a grilled lamb kebab stall, Du Qingqing was attracted by the overflowing aroma of lamb, and she pulled Qiao Ruida's hand and said coquettishly.
"Didn't we just have dinner? Can you eat lamb skewers now? Okay, okay, I'll go buy them for you right away!" Under the coquettish offensive of his girlfriend, Qiao Ruida's principles were vulnerable. He let go of Du Qingqing's hand, squeezed into the crowd, and went to buy lamb skewers.
"Remember to ask the boss to add more chili powder. I like spicy flavor the best." Du Qingqing's reminder came from behind.
A few minutes later, Qiao Ruida returned to Du Qingqing with a bunch of mutton skewers that were still steaming. "Here, the mutton skewers you asked for, spicy."
"Hubby, you're the best!" Du Qingqing happily took the mutton skewers, pulled out a few pieces of mutton, chewed them for a few times, and then frowned.
Seeing his girlfriend's expression was not right, Qiao Ruida asked with concern: "What's wrong, is this mutton kebab not right, is the meat not fresh, or is it not mutton at all?"
In today's society, with the development of information, it is no longer news that unscrupulous merchants use duck meat to impersonate mutton and make mutton skewers. Qiao Ruida thought they had also encountered such an unscrupulous merchant, and looking at the fragrant mutton skewers in his hands, he no longer had the desire to taste them.
"It's mutton, and it's quite fresh, but the taste is not very good. It has a strong smell and is not as delicious as the mutton we brought back from the grassland." Du Qingqing swallowed the mutton in her mouth and commented.
"So that's how it is. I was scared to death. I thought there was something wrong with the mutton skewers. The small owners of these stalls selling mutton skewers are all experts in cost control. They are lucky enough to use real mutton to make mutton skewers for you. Why would they purchase expensive grassland mutton? If you can't get used to it, don't eat it. Let's go buy some other snacks as a snack."
"No, I'm not that picky. The quality of this mutton skewer is a little poor, but the roasting skills and seasoning are not bad. Just eat it!" After saying that, Du Qingqing pulled a few more pieces of mutton and chewed them.
Hearing this, Qiao Ruida nodded and also started to fry the skewers. "This mutton has a strong smell, but it's not bad if you eat it while it's hot." "The smell of fireworks in the world is the most soothing to the hearts of ordinary people." Qiao Ruida accompanied Du Qingqing to visit several snack stalls, eating various local specialties, listening to the familiar local accents and laughter around him, and the fatigue accumulated from days of work dissipated. The originally impetuous heart also slowly calmed down.
"It's almost eight o'clock. The fireworks show will start soon. Let's go to the lake."
"Well, wait for me to buy some honey three-knife, I'll be right there!" Girls have no resistance to sweets, especially girls like Du Qingqing who have a special physique and can eat anything without getting fat. They are even more obsessed with sweets. The stall in front sells traditional honey three-knife pastries, which are typical high-sugar and high-fat foods. Ordinary girls dare not eat this kind of thing in order to control their figure. Only Du Qingqing, a foodie, has a special liking for it.
Du Qingqing bought a bag of honey from the stall owner and returned to Qiao Ruida with it. Then the two left the snack area and walked towards the lake. Next to Cuiwei Square is Cuiwei Lake, which is one of the three major water sources in Decheng City. It covers an area of hundreds of acres and is known for its beautiful environment and excellent water quality. At this time, a large area was enclosed by isolation belts on the edge of Cuiwei Lake, and more than a dozen fireworks workers in orange work clothes were busy in it.
Today's fireworks display uses an advanced program-controlled, electronically ignited method, which is safe, convenient, fast, efficient, and has many advantages. The only problem is that this method of fireworks display requires renting a venue in advance, arranging a fireworks array, building a ignition line, and writing a program for the display, which takes a long time and requires professional personnel to operate. Ordinary people can't handle it. However, these troubles are not a problem under the financial offensive.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the night fell, the night sky was clear, and the lights were on by the Cuiwei Lake, and the crowds of people were surging. In the night sky, a bright moon was hanging, quiet and mysterious. Suddenly, a deafening roar broke the tranquility, and countless fireworks soared into the sky, gorgeous and dazzling. On the lake, the beautiful figures of the fireworks were reflected, colorful, as if there were also bright fireworks blooming in the water. The breeze blew, the lake surface sparkled, and the fireworks and the lake light reflected each other, like a dreamland.
Children in the crowd jumped excitedly, pointing at the fireworks in the sky, laughing and talking. Couples held hands, their faces filled with happy smiles, their eyes revealing a beautiful vision of the future. The elderly sat peacefully on the side, with a kind smile on their faces, enjoying this rare excitement and joy. With the sound of explosions, the fireworks bloomed in various shapes in the night sky, some like golden chrysanthemums, some like twinkling stars, and some like waterfalls, falling from the sky, which was spectacular. The colorful light illuminated the night sky like daytime, making people dazzled.
Gradually, the fireworks show reached its climax, and the fireworks rose one by one, as if igniting the passion in people's hearts. The entire Cuiwei Lakeside became a sea of joy. People's faces were full of excitement and joy, talking to each other and sharing the beauty of this moment. As the last firework bloomed in the night sky, people were reluctant to leave for a long time, intoxicated by this grand fireworks show. Cuiwei Lakeside, this night is destined to be sleepless.
The fireworks display started at 8pm and lasted for three hours. It was already midnight when Qiao Ruida and his family returned to the villa. They had already digested the food from dinner, and everyone was hungry. As soon as they got back, they rushed to have a midnight snack.
"Mom, I'm very hungry right now. Is there anything to eat? Let me fill my stomach." Qiao Ruixue touched her rumbling stomach and asked her mother for help.
"I remember there are still a lot of Yuanxiao left in the refrigerator. How about we cook two bowls of Yuanxiao?" Qiao Jingkang helped his daughter with ideas and suggestions.
"It's better not to eat Yuanxiao so late at night. Aren't you afraid of getting indigestion?" Yuanxiao is made from glutinous rice. It is indeed difficult to digest if you eat too much. Yao Miaozhi knew this very well and raised her objection on the spot.
At this time, Qiao Ruida walked into the living room carrying several bags of snacks and said, "Qingqing and I bought a lot of snacks at Cuiwei Plaza earlier. We ate some and there are still a lot left. If you are hungry, you can take some."
"That's great. I finally don't have to go hungry! Brother, you really came to my rescue and helped me solve a big problem."
Qiao Ruixue took the snack bag and picked out a few donkey rolls for today's midnight snack. As for the other snacks, she shared them with her parents.
There was no conversation overnight. The next day, the 16th day of the first lunar month, was a good time to travel, look for jobs, and meet friends and relatives. Early in the morning, Qiao Ruida and Qiao Ruixue packed their things and prepared to return to the capital to continue their studies. Their parents also helped them pack their luggage, and reminded them to drive safely on the road and remember to call to report safety after arriving in the capital.
In Decheng, there is a saying that goes "dumplings on the bus, noodles on the bus". This means that before relatives leave, they make dumplings to see them off, and when they return, they make noodles to celebrate their triumphant return. It is definitely too late to make dumplings in the morning, but Yao Miaozhi prepared a few bags of quick-frozen dumplings for her children in advance. They just boiled them in boiling water and served them on the table.
After eating the loving breakfast prepared by their mother, Qiao Ruida and Qiao Ruixue said goodbye to their parents, got into a car and left their villa. Qiao Jingkang and Yao Miaozhi stood in front of the gate of the villa, watching the two cars go to the opposite door to pick up Du Qingqing, and then gradually drove away from the villa area and disappeared at the end of the street, only then did they look away.
"Pack up and let's go to work. Reda House's business hasn't been very good these past two days. Except for Xiaoda mobile phones and Reda notebooks, the sales of other products are not as good as last month. We need to find out the reason."
Qiao Jingkang turned and walked into the villa. Yao Miaozhi quickly followed him, but she said, "Why do we need to find out the reason? It's just that the spring conference of Ruida Technology is about to be held, and everyone is holding their coins and waiting."
"Yes, yes, yes. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. It's already March now, and Reda Technology's spring new product launch conference is about to be held. A large number of new mobile phones and new tablets are about to be released. Who would want to buy old products?"
"For electronic products, people prefer new to old. This is the consensus of the people. We still have a lot of old mobile phones and tablets in stock. How about we do a price reduction promotion?"
"Well, I think it's okay. I'll reduce the price of the phone by 300 yuan, and give you a half-year screen damage insurance!"
The old couple discussed things, walked back to the villa, cleaned up the table, changed clothes, and drove to work. The villa, which was originally very lively, became completely silent, waiting for the owner to come home next time. (End of this chapter)
