1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 706

Before we know it, another year has passed.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, Lin Weimin stood at the window and looked at the fireworks in the sky in the distance, and sighed.

"Another one who commits crimes against the odds!"

Tao Huimin held the little bean bag and looked at the sky in the distance, "Bean bag, look, look, those are fireworks."

Xiaodoubao squeezed her face against the glass, the lumps on her face were flattened, her tongue stuck out and her mouth was dripping.

“The fireworks are so beautiful and they won’t be too loud!”

Lin Weimin teased and wiped his daughter's mouth.

After a while, the fireworks ended and the sky fell silent. Xiaodou Bao was anxious, but her vocabulary was too small and she could only yell.

"Ahhhh, Huahua..."

"Stop shouting, the uncles who set off the fireworks were arrested by the police."

Tao Huimin patted him, "How old are you? Can you be a little more formal?"

Xiaodoubao cried very sad because the fireworks were gone. She didn't know how to watch fireworks at this time last year. Lin Weimin comforted: "It's okay, big girl, don't cry. Dad will take the fireworks outside the third ring road tomorrow."

Yanjing's ban on release was promulgated last year. It basically covers the entire third ring road in the city, but it can be released anywhere outside the third ring road.

In fact, in the 80s, there had been discussions about banning fireworks in Yanjing, and there were also prohibited areas.

The custom of setting off fireworks and firecrackers on New Year’s Eve has existed since ancient times. After the reform and opening up, the world has become more peaceful, and people’s lives have become better and better. In those years, the fireworks and firecrackers during the Chinese New Year became more and more popular. The city of Yanjing was already densely populated. After hearing the "ring" of the Chinese New Year, the accident rate skyrocketed.

During the Spring Festival of 1986 alone, 446 people in Yanjing suffered burns and injuries due to fireworks and firecrackers, and two of them had their eyeballs removed.

During the hour from 1987:12 p.m. on New Year's Eve to 1:26 p.m. on the first day of the lunar new year in [-], there was a fire alarm every [-] seconds on average in Yanjing City, and the dispatched firefighting vehicles could not return to the camp, and could only rush from one fire scene to another .

Many citizens also set off cannons in downtown areas, on rooftops, and on balconies, and used "flash mines" to shoot at each other across the road, causing constant disputes and fights.

Some people compete with their neighbors in the neighborhood, and the firecrackers will be louder and last longer, and whoever gets up early the next day will have more firecrackers in front of the door.

Some people whose families are not wealthy have to tighten their belts and grit their teeth to buy and fire cannons, and save up a few inches of cannon shells, otherwise they will be called "losing their status."

In the 90s, this trend intensified, and some people who couldn't bear it wrote letters to newspapers "asking for help."

"This year's firecrackers are all-round and three-dimensional, from high-rise buildings to streets, from restricted areas to bustling areas, from streets to alleys, the scene is no less than the Gulf War...

Outside the window, the flames were shining and thick smoke was billowing, the movement was like an airplane dropping bombs, landmines exploding, light and thunder flying between buildings, green trees and green fields were burned into cannon fodder, manhole covers collapsed and sewage overflowed..."

The trend of setting off firecrackers during the New Year is getting worse and worse, and even many citizens have gradually lost patience and tolerance, calling this kind of firecrackers a "year's disaster."

At the 1987 Yanjing Municipal People's Congress, 116 representatives proposed a motion calling for strict control of fireworks. During the Spring Festival of 1988, "Yanjing Daily" launched a large-scale discussion on "should cities ban the release of food?" and 60% of readers' letters advocated banning it.

In the next few years, the prohibited areas in BJ gradually expanded. By the beginning of 1993, the number of prohibited areas in the whole city had increased to 1364, and the fireworks and firecrackers disappeared within the third ring road.

"Don't let it go. It's too dangerous." Tao Huimin advised.

In recent years, the market has been flooded with a large number of shoddy fireworks, which is also one of the important reasons for frequent accidents.

"It's okay, let Zhuang Zhuang go."

Han Zhuangzhuang, who was showing off with cantaloupe over there, seemed to have sensed it, and raised his head, "Uncle, did you call me?"

"It's okay, just eat yours."

Han Zhuangzhuang nodded, and took another bite of cantaloupe, "This XJ's melon is sweet."

Can it be sweet?

A cantaloupe costs more than 200 yuan!
Han Zhuangzhuang showed off his taste, but he still wanted to eat more, but Yin Geli slapped his hand away, "Melons are cold in nature, so don't eat too much."

After she finished training Han Zhuangzhuang, she took the melon rind out of the little girl's hand and said, "You should also eat less!"

The father and daughter looked at each other in silence as they picked at the table and decided to change their goal.

Tao's father and Tao's mother were watching TV with Han Dingbang. Sister Qin didn't go home this year, so she sat on the sofa watching TV and laughed heartily.

At around nine o'clock, Lin Weimin yawned, said hello to everyone, and went to bed.

As time went on, there were fewer and fewer people in the living room, until finally it was empty.

New Year's Eve has passed, and everyone will still be woken up by sporadic firecrackers early in the morning. No matter how hard it is banned, there will always be people who commit crimes against the wind.

After paying homage to the New Year all morning, when he returned home at noon, Lin Weimin began to study the matter of setting off fireworks.

What he wanted to set off was not ordinary flash thunder and firecrackers, but serious fireworks. Now Yanjing's fireworks and firecrackers are all exclusive, and no one does business on the first day of the new year. However, this is not a problem for Lin Weimin. He made a phone call. Go to Qu Xiaowei.

"Okay, no problem, just wait!" Qu Xiaowei happily agreed to the errand.

After settling the fireworks issue, Lin Weimin pondered again.

After finally setting off fireworks, it’s not interesting just to show them to my daughter, so why not invite a few more people.

We used to get together to eat and drink during the Chinese New Year. This year, Mr. Lin will change the rules for everyone. Let’s watch the fireworks!
This is called spiritual pursuit, and its main focus is to be refined.

"Hey, Tiesheng!"

"Zheng Guo, what are you doing?"...

It gets dark very early in winter, and it gets dark at only four o'clock.

On Xi'anmen Street, a convoy of four cars and a truck drove on the empty street, which was particularly eye-catching.

The convoy drove westward, passed Fuxing Road, passed SJS, and stopped at the Sixth Ring Road of the Later Generation.

The place where the convoy stopped was by the river. This was the Yongding River, one of the few rivers in Yanjing.

"Hey, it's a good place for you to find this place."

Qu Xiaowei got out of the car and looked around, and was very satisfied with the location Lin Weimin found.

"Okay, let's unload the things!"

"Alright, listen to you."

To buy fireworks, Qu Xiaowei went to Faxiao Jinchao, who now works for his boss and specializes in fireworks.

Most people are unwilling to do business when business comes to them on the first day of the new year, but Lin Weimin's offer is too extravagant, and the price of fireworks is 2 yuan.

The fireworks are transported to the place, and they help to finish them, and they are given an extra 500 yuan. Who can not earn this money?

"Brother, don't worry, our fireworks are all specialized. The quality of the products produced by the state-owned factories is absolutely reliable, and they are different from those produced by the small workshops outside!"

The fireworks were put on the river bank, and Jin Chao was promoting the quality of his products to Lin Weimin while posing.

Lin Weimin happily replied to Jin Chao, and then teased Xiao Doubao, "Doubao, let's watch the fireworks tonight so that you can enjoy them all."

Qu Xiangnan from Qu Xiaowei's family was as excited as a monkey, scurrying left and right, and even ran to move fireworks, but was kicked back by Qu Xiaowei.

In the past few years, every Chinese New Year, there were endless news about eyeball injuries, and the adults in the family were very concerned about this aspect.

Zheng Guo's daughter was very quiet. She clung to her mother Yao Shuzhi's legs, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes.

A group of adults gathered together to talk and laugh. By the time the fireworks were over, it was almost dark.

Jin Chao followed. In addition to transporting goods, he also had the task of setting off fireworks.

The fireworks were placed on the river beach, and everyone stood on the side of the road 30 meters away. He lit the cigarette and went to set off the cannon.

A few seconds later, the first fireworks shot into the sky with a bang, like stars scattering into the Milky Way.

Immediately afterwards, several more fireworks were launched into the sky.

In the east wind night, flowers and trees are bloomed, and the stars are like rain.

"Wow!" The children on the roadside looked at the dazzling light in the sky, exclaimed and jumped up excitedly.

Even a group of adults are a little excited. In a peaceful life, the fleeting fireworks are not the theme, but they are the best seasoning.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The endless sound of fireworks and explosions resounded for several miles, and the flickering brilliance in the sky was even more gorgeous.

Even the common people living nearby paid attention to the fireworks feast on the river beach, and many people ran out to watch the fireworks in the cold wind.

"Beautiful! So beautiful!"

Qu Xiaowei hugged Liu Haiyan and looked at the sky, murmuring.

The couple had just immersed themselves for a while, but Liu Haiyan felt that something was missing. Looking down, it turned out that it was Qu Xiangnan who ran to the river beach at some point.

Everyone patronized and looked up at the fireworks, but no one noticed.

Liu Haiyan pushed Qu Xiaowei, "Son!"

When Qu Xiaowei saw it, he was so angry that he ran to the river beach and caught up with Qu Xiangnan. With a pad of his thigh, he slapped Qu Xiangnan's ass.

"Dad! Dad! I was wrong, I was wrong, wow! Mom!"

The bright fireworks in the sky and the continuous sound of cannons merged with Qu Xiangnan's cries and turned into a moving symphony, played by the Yongding River, which made people intoxicated.

Everyone on the roadside watched the harmonious beauty of heaven and earth, and couldn't help but smile knowingly on their faces.

After more than ten minutes, the fireworks feast finally stopped, and Qu Xiangnan was still sobbing.

Everyone gasped, admiring the beautiful scenery just now.

"Brother, half of the fireworks haven't been set off yet. I wonder if you guys have had a hand addiction too?"

Jin Chao ran over from the river beach and said to Lin Weimin and others.

Hearing what he said, many male compatriots present were eager to try, and even Shi Tiesheng's eyes were shining.

"I'll play it!" Qu Xiaowei was the first to respond.

Zheng Guo didn't speak, and silently lit a cigarette.

Lin Weimin took Shi Tiesheng's wheelchair from Cheng Ximi's hand, and the two looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

Back then, the two of them were stadium death squads, but today they are cannon death squads.

A group of urchins rushed to the river beach, each with a cigarette in their hand, Lin Weimin was different, he had Shi Tiesheng in his hand.

Everyone moved in unison, first approaching the fireworks, then squatting down, carefully aiming the cigarette butt at the fuse.

"Tiesheng, hold onto the handrail with your hand, throw away the cigarette quickly after lighting, so I can push you away!"

Here Lin Weimin was explaining to Shi Tiesheng that Zheng Guo's cigarette butt was the first to hit the fuse, and he immediately ran away.

An angry Lin Weimin shouted: "Why are you running without lighting?"

At this time, Zheng Guo had already jumped ten meters, and there was a burst of laughter from the side of the road.

Zheng Guo ran back in embarrassment, and Lin Weimin said helplessly: "I shouted one, two, three, and everyone ordered the twists together before running away."

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

The three firework fuses ignited and ignited, and Qu Xiaowei and Zheng Guo ran out first.

Lin Weimin pushed Shi Tiesheng, and his movements were the slowest. The road on the river beach was potholed, and the wheelchair was bumpy. When the first fireworks sounded, the two of them hadn't run ten meters away.

In an instant, the sound of fireworks filled the sky and the earth.

The deafening sound came overwhelmingly, chasing after him like a thousand horses, Lin Weimin pushed Shi Tiesheng and shouted: "Run! Tiesheng, run!"

Shi Tiesheng held the wheelchair tightly with both hands and laughed loudly: "Running! Run faster!"
