Chapter 58 Old Dreams Don't Need to Remember

Hennessy Road, Southorn Stadium, Wan Chai.

As night falls, the lights begin to turn on. The area near the junction of Hennessy Road and Stonewall Road is already so crowded that the Wan Chai Traffic Team has to adopt temporary traffic control measures to ban vehicles and people can only walk in.

Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the Dingsi year, which is the Lantern Festival. Folks call it Shangyuan Festival, also commonly known as Lantern Festival.

According to custom, the Spring Festival does not end until the Lantern Festival, so the Lantern Festival is also one of the most important traditional festivals for the Chinese.

The Lantern Festival is the beginning of spring when all things revive. In today's Hong Kong, although the west wind is spreading from the east and the Chinese and foreign are mixed, the Lantern Festival is still an inherent traditional custom retained by the Chinese.

If there is a lamp without a moon, it will not entertain people; if there is a moon without a lamp, it will not be spring.

There is a Lantern Festival here tonight jointly organized by the Wan Chai Neighbor Welfare Association, the Hong Kong Tourism Association, the Chinese Customs Promotion Association, the Urban Council, and the Wan Chai District Office for citizens to enjoy the lanterns and have fun.

At this time, the Southorn Stadium was crowded with people, lively and orderly, and a couplet hung high in front of the lantern festival door.

The first couplet on the right side reads "Wan Chai Lantern Festival", which looks like the moon competing for the brilliance, and is truly upright and upright.

The lower line on the left says a grand gathering of neighbors, like clouds, crowns and lamps, playing and singing to wish everyone a happy new year.

There are many beautifully made lanterns placed in the center of Southorn Stadium. Each lantern has a happy idiom, such as fish leaping over the dragon gate, good luck every year, colorful snakes coiling beads, good luck, etc.

They are all exhibits selected by various associations and corporate groups from all the 18 districts in Hong Kong for this lantern show competition. The lanterns are lifelike, like hundreds of flowers blooming, with different moods. They are so beautiful that they are really pleasing to the eye and eye-opening.

.

In addition to flower lanterns, there will also be band performances to add to the fun, followed by dragon and lion competitions, singing, acrobatics, magic, dance and other entertainment performances. People walking around are rushing to watch, and there is laughter and excitement everywhere.

Extremely.

"Hey, isn't your girlfriend pretty?" Miss Chu Chu held Lu Dongjie's hand and held a small lantern in her right hand. After saying this, her little face turned slightly red.

"My ex-girlfriend is quite pretty, but as for my next girlfriend, I don't know yet." Lu Dongjie didn't know why she asked this, so he had to pretend to be confused and answered ambiguously.

"How did you break up? Could it be that she disliked you?" Miss Chu Chu asked pretending to be nonchalant, but she squeezed it nervously.

"Underage girl, put away your gossip, and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked." Lu Dongjie patted her little head gently, shook his head and smiled.

Miss Chu Chu's eyes flashed with excitement, she shook his arm and said coquettishly: "I just want to know, then why don't you tell me?"

"This is a story that is even more poignant and moving than a midnight movie. It probably won't be finished in three days and three nights. If we don't wait until the rice is cooked, I will tell you slowly." Lu Dongjie

I didn't want to talk about the past, so I had to act rogue.

Miss Chu Chu let out a soft sigh, and suddenly stretched out her small hands to grab the tender flesh of his waist. She bit her silver teeth and moaned: "If you say such salty words in the future, be careful of me punishing you."

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's guess the lantern riddles. If you guess the riddle correctly, the lanterns will be given away for free. Come first, first served. The best Lantern Festival lanterns will be given away." Several young people shouted loudly at a nearby stall.

Is there such a good thing? Many people are attracted to it. Who knows, when you take a look, you will be shocked. If you guess wrong, you will have to pay for it.

"Is this a Pisces lantern?" Miss Chu Chu excitedly pulled Lu Dongjie forward and asked. Seeing her look of surprise, it was a must.

"Beautiful girl, you have a unique vision. This Pisces Lantern is based on the allusion of mutual affection. Especially during this Lantern Festival, you two are just the right couple." The young man looked at Lu Dongjie and the two of them swimming arm in arm and started.

Became glib.

Miss Chu Chu glanced at Lu Dongjie shyly, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Pretty boy, can you take it away for free if you guess the lantern riddle?" Lu Dongjie looked at the lanterns and asked casually.

"Yes, sir, as long as you guess the riddle correctly, you can take it away. But if you guess wrong, I would like to thank you for your patronage." The young man pointed to the riddle on the lantern and replied with a smile.

This young man is quite confident. The difficulty of these riddles is moderate, but it is not something that ordinary people can guess. Unless you encounter those who are very knowledgeable about riddles, you will have to consider yourself unlucky if you encounter them.

"When it meets water, it becomes clear; when it meets fire, it becomes bright. Guess the word. This is a crossword puzzle. Hey, guess it." Miss Chu Chu looked at the riddle and read it. After thinking for a while, she still couldn't figure it out, so she had to look at it.

He looked straight at Lu Dongjie.

Lu Dongjie thought about it for a while and came up with the answer. Seeing the people around him looking at him with amazement, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Boss, I guess it means "Deng Gao".

The onlookers couldn't help but suddenly realized that when it comes to water, it becomes clear, and when it comes to fire, it becomes light.

Miss Chu Chu happily took the Pisces lantern handed over by the young man with a forced smile. She looked left and right, as if she couldn't put it down.

When the surrounding citizens saw that Lu Dongjie had won the jackpot, many people began to be eager to try. However, as they looked around, their faces became bitter. There were dozens of lantern riddles, but none of them were sure.

"Mommy, I want that butterfly lantern too," a tall and thin little boy emerged from the crowd, pointing at the dazzling array of lanterns and said happily.

"Mommy, I want it too, I want that lotus lantern." When another gentle little boy saw his brother, he naturally followed suit.

"Okay, I'll buy one for you all," the woman responded with a smile.

"Don't buy it with money, we want it from the riddle," the two little boys said in unison.

"Guessing riddles, Mommy is not very good at this, so just buy it." The woman looked at her two sons with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"We don't want to buy it. Mommy, if you don't know how to guess riddles, then daddy must be able to guess riddles. He is so awesome. Hey, where is daddy?" the tall and thin boy said with pride.

Seeing the two sons admiring their father, the woman's face became a little confused. Just when she was hesitant and confused, a voice next to her interrupted her.

"Sister Hua, would you like me to help you guess two?" Lu Dongjie said to the woman with a smile.

The woman was a little surprised when she heard this voice, but before she could respond, her two sons said in unison again: "We don't want other people to guess, we just want dad to guess for us."

"Come here, come here, Daddy is here. Daddy can guess which one you want." As soon as he finished speaking, a proud shout came from outside the crowd.

Everyone turned around to see which guy sounded so crazy. They saw a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses, carrying a baby on his back, and a baby bottle and saliva cloth hanging on his chest. He walked in hurriedly.

Everyone looked at this super dad and couldn't help but gasp.

"Daddy, I want that"

"Daddy, I want the one over there"

The two children held their father's hand and pointed to the lanterns they each wanted.

"Bite off the cow's tail in one bite. Is it a warning sign? Can't you take it out? Well, it's a compound sign for family joy. Ha, pretty boy, hurry up and get the lantern for my two good boys." The man glanced at the riddle, and without thinking,

The answer to the riddle was easily guessed.

The two children finally got their wish, each holding lanterns to show off, and their father accompanied them with a loving look on his face.

The woman took in everything in front of her, but this scene of a loving father and a filial son made her heart aching.

"Sister Hua, are you okay?" Lu Dongjie saw that the woman's face was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't help but ask aloud.

"It's okay, thank you for caring about Ajie." Wa shook her head gently and smiled reluctantly at Lu Dongjie.

The moon is high in the sky, and the night is as cool as water.

On the way back, Miss Chu Chu became taciturn and just held Lu Dongjie's hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

Just when Lu Dongjie was watching her go upstairs, Miss Chu Chu suddenly ran back. A burst of soft jade and warm fragrance rushed into Lu Dongjie's arms. She wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his shoulder. Her soft and delicate body trembled slightly.

.

"Hongdou sister, what's wrong?" Lu Dongjie hugged her gently and said softly. Hearing Miss Chu Chu's soft sobs, he didn't know what to do.

Miss Chu Chu's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, but she choked with a smile on her face: "If one day I can't help but ask you, who is your favorite person, please tell me, even if you are lying to me,

No matter how reluctant you are in your heart, please always say that the person you like most is me..."
