a day on thursday

During the winter vacation of that year, we went to the Lantern Festival together. The winter vacation came very quickly. It was in the middle of January. You returned to the south at the end of January. You first stayed at your grandma’s house for a period of time during the winter vacation. up south.

After the second day of the Chinese New Year, I asked you if you want to go to the Lantern Festival, and you replied yes, just as Xin Ji and the others had mentioned that they wanted to go, so I decided to go to the Lantern Festival on the night of the second day.

Our Rongnan Lantern Festival has been nationally civilized since a long time ago. To be honest, as a Rongnan native, I have never been to a Lantern Festival. It was the first time I saw a Lantern Festival in my life. It turned out to be with you. The lantern festival is a little far away, from the south of the city to the suburbs in the north of the city.

According to the parents, you are grown children now, you can go where you want to play by yourself.I also specifically asked my dad if he wanted to accompany him. My dad waved his hand and said no, and agreed to lend me his car for a drive once.

I really feel very emotional, the old father is indeed an old father, my old father’s car is really cool, big G, but who would have thought that the car is piled up like a utility room, and the car is lent to I drove, probably thinking that I would clean up the car for him, and it might be clean when I returned it. Indeed, I did the same.

On the way to drive to the Lantern Festival, the sky is not too dark, the clouds are very thick and gloomy, the gloom of winter is not the gloomy of rain, giving birth to a feeling of black clouds overwhelming the city.

Ying Chengyang and Xin Ji were sitting in the back seat, Ying Chengyang was playing Landlords on his mobile phone, and Xin Ji was holding an English textbook and a small dictionary for comparison.And you are sitting in the co-pilot and eating oranges, but why do I think that you should be the one who read the all-English materials?

"Xiao Si, your homework is done like this, does your teacher know?"

"Huh? If you help me take a closer look, I think it's almost like this."

Sure enough, as I expected, you gave Xin Ji your English homework.

"Good guy, you are using Xin Ji to do your homework for you, Li Xiaosi, Li Sixi, you are so courageous, are you not afraid that your teacher will mess with you?"

Before I could be amazed, Ying Chengyang became amazed first, grabbed the documents in Xin Ji's hand and flipped through them loudly.

"Hey, I went home after nothing. Who knows who wrote this homework?" You took a piece of orange into your mouth and said it calmly.

"Besides, Xin Jiming is much better than me, okay?"

"Okay, you two. Let Xin Ji write for him. As expected of a university, he won't look for me anymore, huh!"

Hearing Ying Chengyang's tone, he felt jealous.

"If you want more, I still have a lot of materials here. If you want, I'll give them to you. You can write them for me, right?"

"Why don't you look for Luo Chaomu?"

"She can't, how can she be a teacher in geography? No, no."

I didn't have time to speak at that time, so you hurriedly refused for me. I don't know if you thought for me for a while, let me relax, or you still thought I was really bad.

"Cut...you will squeeze Xin Ji and me."

"My pleasure."

In the whole car, you and Ying Chengyang were the only two chattering and bickering happily. Xin Ji flipped through this document by himself, and I concentrated on driving the car, occasionally glancing at you from the rearview mirror. Hmm, quite a harmonious atmosphere.

I don't know how to describe the winter in Rongnan. If we say that we were cold when we were studying in the north, it can only be a physical attack, but it is a real chemical attack when we return to the south.

The wind is not as strong as in the north, but it only sweeps occasionally, lightly, like someone blowing lightly on your neck, but it is air-conditioning.I feel the cold after the cold, and I don't feel the cold until the wind has passed. The teeth can't help but click softly, which is very cold.

The four of us were wrapped up like bears. It is reasonable to say that southerners don’t like wearing hats and gloves, but it may be because we are studying in the north.

But it’s a little better than the New Year’s Eve. They didn’t wear winter gear, and everyone wore sneakers and took a casual route.

"Do you want to buy something before entering the park? Can you ask for that hairpin that lights up? I invite you!"

While talking, you walked towards the small vendor at the gate of the Lantern Festival.

"Who wants that thing? I don't want it if I'm childish!"

That's what Ying Chengyang said, but he still walked to the stall with you, and said in his mouth not to still pick up his favorite glowing hairpin on the stall.

"Xiaosi buys these and buys these bunny ears, they look so good-looking! Buy these according to your brother's advice."

Ying Chengyang took four glowing rabbit ears and dangled them in front of you.

I don't know if all medical students are particularly fond of rabbits, anyway, he always feels sorry for them.

"I don't want rabbits, I want bears! I want two bears, and if you like rabbits, take two rabbits!"

You curled your lips, as if you looked down on the aesthetics of this 1.8-meter-four man.

"You said you were a treat, and I want it. At worst, I'll take two rabbits, one for each of Xin Ji and me."

Ying Chengyang let go, and put down two of them, but still tightly held the remaining two rabbit hairpins in his hand.

A person who is obviously so good-looking, holding two rabbit hairpins in his hand, can't tell the damn sense of harmony.

"Boss, Alipay has paid."

You walked over with two bear-ear hairpins in your hands. At this time, the Lantern Festival has already started to prepare tickets for admission.

"Xin Ji, don't you think my aesthetics are good? This rabbit is so beautiful. The two of us will bring this rabbit. It is big and beautiful, and the light is so much brighter than the two in Xiao Si's hands. I am so envious of them."

When Ying Chengyang walked over, he walked very fast, and pressed the rabbit ears on Xin Ji's woolen hat, and Xin Ji had no room to refuse at that time.I stood in front of it and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so I could only watch.There was no big expression on Xin Ji's face, but at that time I felt that if there was no one around, Ying Cheng Yangyang might be beaten.

You walk up to me and hand me a bear ear hairpin.

"I think this looks good, let's bring this together! Come on, I'll bring it for you."

I squatted down slightly, the moment you put the bear ear hairpin on my head, at that moment, I squatted down and could look directly into your glasses, clean and transparent, with happiness in my eyes.The hairpin has a small battery switch, and when you press the switch, the lights of the lamp will light up coincidentally, as if what you press is not the switch on my hairpin, but the switch of the whole world.

"Bright."

The light of the big world of colored lights is gorgeous and dazzling, and your eyes are immediately attracted to it.

"It's really beautiful!"

There were so many people at the ticket gate, not only you, but almost everyone’s eyes were shocked by the scenery inside. I looked at the top of your head, turned on the card issuing switch in my hand, and put it on your head. At that time, I didn't look at the scenery inside the venue, I kept looking down at you, and I felt that the light on the bear hairpin on your head was as bright as the light in the lantern festival, no, it was even more beautiful than the inside.

As soon as he entered the Lantern Festival, Ying Chengyang took out his camera and kept taking pictures all the way. He also brought Xin Ji, two people and two cameras, and kept taking pictures all the way. I was thinking at that time, these two people Will you not come to the Lantern Festival in the future?As for making it look like a documentary, I have to record it.

Before I came again, my dad asked me if I wanted to bring my camera, but I refused with a straight face, saying that I just need to record it in my mind when I go to see the scenery, and I won’t bring it this time when I go out.

I led you along the way, you are almost a whole head shorter than me, there are so many people who come to see the Lantern Festival, and you can even see people with other skin colors, your eyes are always on those strange lights,

But it’s really amazing. In the small exhibition of ancient lamps, the lamps are displayed from the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Republic of China. The lamps of each time are different. Some are made of gauze, some are made of rice paper, and some are made of bamboo. , some painted renderings... The lights in each era are different, but the only thing that has not changed is the tradition of watching the lantern festival. As a Rongnan person, there is always a time to come to this lantern festival to see it, just like us Came to this lantern festival when you were 18 years old.

In the first half of the Lantern Festival, we are only allowed to go forward, and we are not allowed to go back. We can only go forward.

The number of people who came to see the Lantern Festival on the second day of the Lunar New Year’s Day can’t be counted as many, but it can only be said that there are too many people. I didn’t think so when I checked the tickets at the gate. Holding tightly, for fear that if you let go, you may be swept away by the crowd.We have already separated from Ying Chengyang and Xin Ji. They didn't know where to take pictures, and we were left to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lantern festival.

The most famous person in the Lantern Festival that year should be the Goddess of Nature, a woman with vines on her head. Rongnan's Dengqiang really did a good job. His eyes looked down at the people below, and he had an expression from beginning to end, with compassion in it.You were still there lamenting the greatness and wonder of nature, and you insisted on taking a photo with the goddess of nature. What can I do, of course I have to take a photo for you.

I think your favorite should be—Interstellar Odyssey, there were very few people in that scene, because at the beginning we both walked quickly and got out of the crowd, and you dragged me forward for a while.Plunging headlong into a small door, behind that small door is simply the world of the whole universe, the space behind the door is huge, it looks like a universe made of lamps, the stars on top of your heart, one after another, you People who entered were completely stunned, standing where they were, as if you were standing in the center of the universe.I secretly took a photo of you at that time, and it was a beautiful photo. Standing in a piece of light and shadow, you are more of an existence than that piece of universe.

"Luo Chaomu, this place is really beautiful."

"It's really beautiful, very beautiful."

It is amazing to say that this lantern festival is half antique and half full of modern atmosphere. It is simply a world of cyberpunk, with dancing mats, small concerts, and bars.

We met Ying Chengyang and Xin Ji next to the dance mat,

Ying Chengyang was very happy playing inside, because he was tall, so he was seen jumping inside wearing a rabbit hairpin from a long distance.And Xin Ji was carrying a bag outside, two cameras hanging around his neck, and a card with rabbit ears he bought on his head, holding a mobile phone in his hand, staring at the news impatiently.

Xin Ji saw both of us almost immediately.

"Miss, where have you been shopping? Anyway, check the news!"

"Just followed the route on the ticket."

Li Sixi replied with confidence.

"There were too many people crossing the bridge, and they might get separated."

"I thought you were abducted by human traffickers!" Xin Ji couldn't help joking.

"No, what about me? I'm 1.7 meters tall, right?"

"I'm definitely not worried about you about Luo Chaomu, I'm worried about this guy! Ying Chengyang inside, he's still playing around inside."

"You two won't come to dance after shopping around, will you?"

As expected of a tall person, walking fast, Ying Chengyang has been dancing here for more than ten minutes.

"Xiao Si, go and call your Zhun'er brother out, he must be having fun inside."

In fact, Xin Ji didn't need to say anything, when I reacted and regained my senses, Ying Chengyang was already standing in front of me.

"Do the three of you know how good I dance? A lot of young ladies were looking at me just now."

"Ying Chengyang, I would like to ask, are all of you medical students as open-minded as you are?"

"How can this be, this is with you, that's why I let it out like this, can I be nicknamed Gao Leng Da Bingcuo at school?"

"Yo! You are still cold and cold. I grew up with you, and I don't know you yet? If you say that Xin Ji is cold and cold in their court, I believe it. But if you are a cold boy in your school High-cold big ice cube, hey, old Zhun, your brain has been corroded by formalin? How do you say such a thing?"

Li Sixi, at that time you had a disgusted look on Ying Chengyang's face.

You and Ying Chengyang walked in the middle, and I held your right hand and walked quietly. This feeling is like signing a daughter, and the daughter is arguing with her good friend.

indescribable.

The exit of the Lantern Festival is a big downhill. Looking back, you can almost see the whole scene in the garden. The vision is bright and far away. The farthest place is a moon lighting. The position of the four of us is almost on the diagonal of the moon. , but as long as you look back, the first thing you see is the moon, reminiscent of the full moon in Greek mythology, hazy and beautiful.

The four of us took a group photo, and we took countless group photos on the downhill road of hundreds of meters. By the way, there are also many single photos that are good-looking, funny, and serious. No matter from which angle, the background has that moon.

All in all, it was a very pleasant trip to the lantern festival.

When I was having dinner with my parents during the Chinese New Year, the two of them brought up the topic of if I want to fall in love in college.At that time, my parents talked a lot there, and I didn't hear clearly what they were talking about?

Then I said something.

"What if I don't like men?"

My father and mother were stunned for a while, and then looked at each other for a while, but there was no change in their expressions. I thought in my heart that I was done, I must be dead, this is the calm before the storm.

But what I didn't expect was that my dad thought for a while and said to me,

"Chaomu, if you talk about this issue today, Mom and Dad will talk to you today. Your mother and I think that you like this kind of thing. It's very mysterious. You can like anything. For example, you If you meet a puppy when you go out of the restaurant, you like it very much. Let’s eat this meal, you like it very much. But this kind of likeness may pass, and you forget it yourself. This is the like of meeting by chance. up.

But what, you just said what if you like girls?So if you have someone you like now, whether it’s a boy or a girl, it’s your own liking. It’s nothing to do with me or your mother. It’s your own business. You don’t have to think about the people around you. You don't have to think about your parents, you don't have to think about the world, and you don't have to think about other people's eyes.Because it is your own liking, what kind of person you like, whether it is your same sex or the opposite sex, all of this is based on your own liking.

But if you decide to tell Ta the love, tell the person you like, that boy or girl, you have to take responsibility. Sometimes, the responsibility is not only established after the marriage relationship is established, it is also possible was before.No matter who it is, everyone has a responsibility, and no matter whether the person you like is a boy or a girl, then you must take the responsibility you should.

If the person you like is a boy, then you may have the responsibility of being a wife in the future, and you may also have the responsibility of being a mother.

But if the person you like is a girl, you can choose to tell her, or you can choose not to tell her.

In today's society, there must be very little tolerance for same-sex love. Not everyone thinks like me and your mother, and not everyone is as open-minded as me and your mother. Some people think so, that men should like women, women should marry men, women should bear children to men, and men should stand upright.

Some people have been indoctrinated with this kind of thinking since they were young, and then they do things according to the thinking of the previous generation, thinking that likes between the same sex are sick and weird, but I don’t think so, and neither does your mother If you think so, as our daughter, I certainly believe you don't think so either.

What we want to tell you is that if the person you like is a girl, your mother and I will have no problem at all.

But it is very important that if you choose to challenge the world in the future, then you must understand what kind of responsibility you should take. "

I never knew that my dad would talk to me about this. I thought my dad was just a guy who would carry his camera equipment around the world. This year Tibet will be in West Lake next year. Who would have thought that he and my mom would still discuss it? These come.

The conclusion I came to from that conversation was "I can like girls.

Li Sixi, I was thinking at that time, would you and I be able to challenge the world one day.
