Chapter 23

April 20, the annual Easter.

Since dawn in the early morning, Kevin Hughes, the owner of the Hughes convenience store on the side of the main street of the town, heard that someone seemed to be doing something at the intersection nearby, making a lot of noise.

Considering that today is Easter, Hughes didn't think much. He estimated that it should be government staff and volunteers installing some props.

Seeing that it was a little over five o'clock, Hughes got up from bed. His wife opened her eyes vaguely and asked, "honey, why do you get up so early?"

Hughes kissed his wife on the cheek and said, "silly girl, I have to put chocolate into the colored eggs at the head of their bed before the children wake up."

Put on his clothes, Hughes took the gifts prepared for the children and quietly entered the small bedroom. Looking at the two sleeping children, he whispered with satisfaction and said, "they are really two angels. Thank the Lord for giving them to Vivian and me."

When everything was ready, Hughes opened the door of the convenience store without anything to do. In this way, the noise from the street was even louder. When he went out, he was surprised.

I saw that the previously deserted and lonely streets became very lively, and the sky over the whole intersection was almost filled with colored eggs!

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

At the side of the intersection, a young man unknown to Hughes was debugging the speaker equipment, from which the noise came.

In addition, several people continued to inflate the egg balloon with an air cylinder, but they would stuff something into the balloon before each time they beat it up.

Hughes was looking at it curiously, but he heard someone calling him, "Kevin, I'm disturbing you, isn't it? I'm very sorry. "

Looking down at the voice, Hughes found that it was the lawyer who said goodbye to the legendary Auerbach in the town. He hurriedly said, "Oh, Mr. Auerbach, you're too polite. It's nothing. I'm just curious what you're doing."

Auerbach came over with a smile and pulled up the young man on the ground: "this is Qin, the grandson of old Qin. Hi, Qin, this is Kevin, a good basketball player in our town."

Naturally, Qin Shiou was the one who debugged the speaker just now.

Qin Shiou shook hands with Hughes. The latter was more than one meter nine. He was about thirty years old. He had thick bones, solid muscles and slender legs. He was a good athlete.

"Are you Qin? Ha, man, you're a hot topic recently. You're from mysterious China, aren't you? Welcome, welcome, welcome to farewell town. " Hughes smiled. "But I want to know, what are you doing?"

Qin Shiou introduced himself and said, "this is a good activity in China. It's called smashing golden eggs. As for what it is, please forgive me. It's confidential."

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

Until more than six o'clock, there were more talents on the street. Today, the weather was very good and the rising sun soon swept away the cold left by the night in the far north.

As people took to the streets, convenience stores in shopping malls opened, and candy related to chocolate egg candy was placed in the most prominent place. Looking from the window, all kinds of candy were placed on the shelves.

Qin Shiou was curious about everything when he celebrated Easter for the first time, so he went to the convenience store in Hughes.

Hughes enthusiastically made him a cup of coffee. Seeing that Qin Shiou was interested, he introduced him to the candy sold: "there are probably two kinds. The small one is called Fangdan candy, which is one inch long. It is covered with chocolate outside and sweet and soft dough inside. The price is only 10 cents."

"The other is an empty egg, that is, the guy in front of you who is similar to a duck egg. In fact, there is nothing in this. It is just wrapped in a chocolate shell. If you want to eat it, break it and eat chocolate chips."

Qin Shiou understood for a while. When he went out, he saw some children curiously watching the floating balloons around the intersection. He bought a pile of square Dan candy and chocolate eggs and went over to give them to the children. These children were in high spirits.

There are no activities on Easter morning. After lunch, when the weather gets warmer, the Easter Parade begins.

The farewell town is relatively small and has a small population, so the parade is small. There are only 50 or 60 people. These people wear robes, hold crosses and walk barefoot in the street. Every time they pass the door of the residents, the onlookers will cheer at them.

Auerbach introduced Qin Shiou that these marchers pretended to be historical figures of Christianity and sang carols to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.

After the parade turned around the main street of the town, it went to a church in the east of the town. Auerbach explained to Qin Shiou: "next, believers go to the church for baptism, put on their new robes, celebrate the new birth of Christ, and then clean their homes. It's a bit like your new year."

Qin Shiou said with a smile, "yes, it is."

The two walked to the church together. The road was full of lily petals, and most of them were musk lilies. The smell of these flowers was so strong that the whole street seemed to become a garden.

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

Qin Shiou thought it was a gift, so he received it. Auerbach smiled, hurried to Qin Shiou's ear and whispered, "this is a love egg, man, are you sure you want to accept the love of the lovely young man in front of you?"

Hearing this, Qin Shiou almost peed. Is there another saying next door? He didn't find it on the Internet 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 boy. Look at his eyes, they are like sapphires; Look at his skin, it's as smooth as silk... "

Seeing that the white youth was still looking at him, Qin Shiou reluctantly put aside his hand and said, "sorry, man, I'm Chinese. We can't intermarry with foreigners, otherwise I will be expelled by the family."

After hearing this, the white youth was disappointed and left. Qin Shiou wiped his cold sweat. Damn it, has his charm reached the point of killing men and women? Why didn't you find it in China before?

The church in farewell town is not small, covering an area of more than 2000 square feet. It has a pointed roof with a cross on it. The main body of the building is made of wood, which looks unique.

However, the church should be old. Traces of repair can be seen in many parts of the outer wall. Some color windows are broken and can only be made up with colored paper.

After walking in, you can find more problems. For example, the tables and chairs are old, and the Bible paintings on the wall have faded.

After entering the church, Auerbach became serious. He took Qin Shiou to line up for baptism. When the latter stood under the statue of Jesus, he crossed his hands and fingers and began to pray with a low brow:

"The great God of Jesus must bless me, bless my heart of the sea ability not to disappear, and bless me to make more money in the future. As long as I earn the first billion in my life, I will rebuild your golden body - ah, no, it's to renovate your church."

The priest in charge of baptism smiled when he saw Qin Shiou's pious eyes closed and prayed. However, if he knew what the boy was thinking, he would probably smash Qin Shiou's brain seeds directly with a baptism basin.

After the baptism, the Easter activities began. Qin Shiou and Auerbach returned to the full intersection, where a rostrum had been set up, and the background of the rostrum was a complex character.

Today, my buddy who was a soldier in Beijing asked for leave and went out of the military camp. He had a meal with him and recalled the bullshit years of that year, so it's a little late. Sorry, very sorry ~!
