"I will accompany you back to Bincheng for the New Year this year?" She looked into his eyes, "It's been a long time since I went back, right?"
"Okay." Ji Changmu nodded and looked at her.
The corners of Qiao Muyuan's lips curved slightly. She loved looking at Ji Changmu and couldn't get enough of him.
After sitting in his arms for a long time, the fatigue from the day was gone.
She was really busy during this period, so busy that she almost forgot that the Chinese New Year was coming soon.
During dinner in the evening, Qiao Muyuan asked him: "I won't work tonight, isn't Mr. Ji going to take me out for a walk?"
"Do you want to go shopping?"
"No shopping, I don't have anything to buy." Qiao Muyuan ate the food and said, "I haven't been in Qiongzhou for a long time. It happens to be the New Year's Eve. I want to see if there are any special customs on the New Year's Eve here."
"Ask me, I really don't know. I can ask A Yong for you."
"Then let Ayong drive us out for a walk tonight."
"Okay." Ji Changmu agreed.
On New Year's Eve, thousands of houses on the island are lit up with lights and street lights are bright.
The sea breeze in winter is very cold, chilling my neck.
In the evening, Qiao Muyuan changed into a thick purple sweater without a coat. She took Ji Changmu's arm and walked with him through the streets of Qiongzhou.
Ayong drove them to a community where the Qiongzhou aborigines live, where there are more authentic Qiongzhou folk customs.
Walking on the narrow streets with bluestone slabs, Ayong was both their bodyguard and their guide.
"Mr. Ji, Madam, there are not many activities on New Year's Eve. There will be more interesting performances on New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month. I will take you to see them then."
"We won't be able to see it this year." Ji Changmu walked down the street in a hurry, letting Qiao Muyuan hold his arm, "Don't be in a hurry, there will be plenty of time in the future."
"Isn't Mr. Ji not celebrating the New Year in Qiongzhou this year?"
"Go back to Bincheng."
"Then, no matter what Mr. and Mrs. Ji want to see, just tell me and I can take you there."
A Yong was in a good mood and very excited. He introduced them to the surrounding road signs one by one: "This temple is a hundred years old. The last time it was renovated was ten years ago. It is very well preserved. I came here to burn incense when I was a child."
The street lights were bright and they could clearly see every building.
The buildings at night are a bit thicker than during the day, standing low-key on the street.
"That's an ancestral hall!" Ayong pointed to other buildings and introduced, "There are no ancestral halls in the city center. Most of them have been demolished. You can still see them here and there in the alleys."
The scenery changes with each step, and every step brings a different style.
A Yong walked to another street and said: "Mr. Ji, please wait here. There will be lantern and stilt performances in about a quarter of an hour. But there will probably be a lot of people. If you are not used to it, I will help you in advance next time."
Take your place."
A Yong was simple and kind. After hearing what he said, Ji Changmu smiled and said, "We will wait here."
Ayong scratched his head: "That's okay."
It is difficult to get a seat in this kind of street and alley, so you can only stand on the roadside and wait.
Ji Changmu lowered his head and asked Qiao Muyuan next to him: "Is it cold?"
As he spoke, he took off the scarf around his neck and put it around her.
He also only wore a dark gray sweater. Not many people knew him, but he stood among the crowd and stood out independently.
Qiao Muyuan put her little hand in his and said coquettishly, "You can tell whether it's cold or not by touching it."
Ji Changmu touched it and found it was fine.
It's not very cold tonight.
