Golden Fishery

April 20, the annual Easter.

From the early hours of the morning, Kevin Hughes, the owner of the Hughes Convenience Store on the side of the main street of the town, said goodbye, and heard that someone at the intersection next to him seemed to be manipulating something, making a lot of noise.

Considering that it was Easter today, Hughes didn't think much about it. He estimated that government workers and volunteers were installing props.

Seeing that it was a little after five o'clock, Hughes also got up from the bed. His wife opened her eyes in a daze and asked, "Darling, why do you get up so early?"

Hughes dotingly kissed his wife's cheek and said, "Silly girl, I have to put chocolate in the easter eggs by the bedside of the children before they wake up."

After getting dressed, Hughes quietly entered the small bedroom with the gifts prepared for the children. Looking at the two sleeping children, he smiled contentedly and said in a low voice, "It's really two angels, thank the Lord for bestowing them on them. Me and Vivienne."

Everything was ready, and Hughes opened the door of the convenience store with nothing to do, so that the noise from the street was even louder. He went out to take a look and was surprised.

I saw that the previously deserted and lonely streets became extremely lively, and the sky above the entire intersection was almost filled with Easter eggs!

These eggs are balloons with a radius of about 20 centimeters. They are colorful and colorful. They float in the air and are blown by the wind, like a sea of ​​eggs.

On the side of the intersection, a young man who Hughes did not know was debugging the speaker equipment, and the noise was coming from it.

In addition, a few people continued to inflate the egg balloons with inflators, but each time they put something in the balloon before they were inflated.

Hughes was looking curiously when he heard someone calling him: "Kevin, are you bothering you? I'm very sorry."

Looking at the voice, Hughes found that it was the lawyer Auerbach who was speaking to him, and hurriedly said: "Oh, Mr. Auerbach, you are too polite, it's nothing, I'm just curious what this is doing. "

Auerbach came over with a smile, pulled up the young man on the ground and said, "This is Qin, the grandson of Lao Qin, hi, Qin, this is Kevin, the basketball player in our town."

Naturally, it was Qin Shiou who debugged the speakers just now.

Qin Shiou shook hands with Hughes. The latter was over 1.9 meters tall, about 30 years old, with thick bones, solid muscles, and especially slender legs. At first glance, he was an athlete.

"You're Qin? Ha, man, you're a hot topic these days, aren't you from the mysterious China? Welcome, welcome, welcome to Farewell Town." Hughes laughed, "But I want to know, you are here What are you doing?"

Qin Shiou introduced himself, and then said: "This is a good activity in China, called smashing golden eggs. As for what it is, please forgive me, it must be kept secret."

Hughes didn't care, laughed, and stepped forward to help Qin Shiou debug the speaker.

It wasn't until six o'clock that there were more talents on the street. Today's weather was fine, the rising sun was surging, and the coldness left by the night in the extreme north was quickly swept away.

As people took to the streets, convenience stores in various shopping malls were opened, and candies related to chocolate egg candies were placed in the most conspicuous places. Looking in from the window, all kinds of candies were placed on the shelves.

Qin Shiou spent Easter for the first time and was very curious about everything, so he went to Hughes' convenience store to go shopping.

Hughes made him a cup of coffee enthusiastically,

Seeing that Qin Shiou was interested, he introduced him to the candies for sale: "There are roughly two types, the smaller one is called fondant, which is one inch long, with a layer of chocolate on the outside and sweet and soft dough inside. , the price is only 10 cents."

"The other type is an empty egg, which is a guy similar to a duck egg in front of you. In fact, there is nothing in it, just a chocolate shell. If you want to eat it, you can break it and eat chocolate chips."

Qin Shiou got to know them for a while. When he went out, he saw some children curiously watching the floating balloon piles around the intersection. He bought a bunch of fondant and chocolate eggs, and walked over to distribute them to the children. These children immediately became elated.

There is no activity on Easter morning. After lunch, when the weather warms up, the Easter parade begins.

Farewell Town is relatively small and has a small population, so the procession is not large, only fifty or sixty people. These people wear long robes, hold crosses, and walk barefoot on the street. Every time they pass the door of the house, the onlookers will cheer them. .

Auerbach introduced to Qin Shiou that these marchers were all pretending to be Christian historical figures, singing carols to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.

After the parade circled around the main street of the town, they walked towards a church in the easternmost part of the town. Auerbach explained to Qin Shiou: "Next, the believers go to the church for baptism, and then put on their new clothes. robes, celebrate the new birth of Christ, and then clean your house, it's kind of like your new year."

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Yes, it's really similar."

The two of them walked towards the church together. The road was full of lily petals, and most of them were musk lilies. The fragrance of this flower was so strong that the whole street seemed to be turned into a garden.

The closer you got to the church, the more crowded the crowd became. Suddenly, a young man in his twenties walked up to Qin Shiou and handed over a bright red egg.

Qin Shiou thought it was a gift, so he took it in his hand, Auerbach laughed, and hurriedly leaned into Qin Shiou's ear and whispered: "This is a love egg, man, you are sure you want to accept this lovely young man in front of you. love?"

Hearing this, Qin Shiou was almost scared to pee. Do you still have this statement next door to Mala? He couldn't find it online before.

As a pure man, Qin Shiou's sexual orientation is naturally no problem, so when Auerbach finished speaking, he immediately returned the red egg to the young man.

The young man looked disappointed, Auerbach winked at Qin Shiou and said, "This is a handsome guy, boy, look at his eyes, they look like sapphire; look at his skin, it's as smooth as satin..."

Seeing that the white young man was still looking at him, Qin Shiou reluctantly said, "I'm sorry, man, I'm Chinese, we can't intermarry with foreigners, otherwise I'll be expelled by the family."

The white young man left disappointed after hearing this. Qin Shiou wiped his cold sweat. Damn, has his charm reached the point where both men and women can kill each other? Why haven't I found it in my country before?

The church of Farewell Town is not small. It covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 square feet. It has a pointed roof with a cross on it. The main body of the building is made of wood, which looks ingenious.

However, this church should be quite old, and the repair marks can be seen in many places on the outer wall. Some colored windows are broken and can only be made up with colored paper.

After walking in, you can find more problems, such as the tables and chairs are old and the Bible paintings on the walls are faded.

After entering the church, Auerbach became serious. He took Qin Shiou in line to be baptized. When the latter stood under the statue of Jesus, he crossed his hands and fingers together, and began to pray with a low eyebrow.

"God Jesus will definitely bless me, bless my ability of the heart of the ocean not to disappear, bless me to make more money in the future, as long as I earn the first 100 million in my life, I will definitely come to reshape your golden body for you - ah, no, it's for you Renovate the church."

Seeing Qin Shiou praying with his eyes closed, the priest in charge of the baptism smiled, but if he knew what this kid was thinking, he would probably smash Qin Shiou's brain directly with the baptismal basin.

After the baptism was over, the Easter activities began. Qin Shiou and Auerbach returned to the full intersection. There was already a host platform, and the background of the host platform was a complicated character.

￥￥￥￥ Today, the buddy who was a soldier in Beijing took a leave of absence and left the barracks. He ate a meal with him and reminisced about the shitty years of that year, so it’s a bit late, sorry, very sorry~!
