444【Night Tour】

On the night of Shenghai at the end of December, the temperature seemed a bit cold, but the lively atmosphere diluted all discomfort.

Chen Tao stepped on a pair of long leather boots, covered her body with a knee-length coat, and walked slowly in her pockets. She looked around and said in surprise, "Hey, last time I came to Shenghai, there were tricycles all over the place, why didn't I see any of them today?"

"It affects the appearance of the city and has been banned." Song Weiyang laughed.

"I still want to ride a tricycle with you to see the night view." Chen Tao felt very regretful.

Just in the first half of this year, Shenghai still had more than 40,000 tricycles. One is the tricycle driven by the disabled, the other is the unlicensed tricycle driven by outsiders, and the other is the tricycle of ex-prisoners painted with yellow signs. Especially during the layoff wave in 1998, many local laid-off workers in Shenghai also chose to drive tricycles for a living, and basically did not apply for a license.

This poses a very troublesome traffic hazard, and it also affects the image of Shenghai as an international metropolis. Relevant departments have had little effect in rectification every year.

Not long ago, didn't Shenghai hold the Fortune Annual Meeting, and then celebrated the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China?

All done at once!

Various departments also cooperated to assist the disabled, laid-off workers, and those released after serving their sentences to re-employ. A freight company was also specially set up to distribute photos of freight in the urban area, turning the three-wheeled trucks into small trucks or vans. As an excellent company, Xifeng Company also helped arrange some of them, and recruited them as regional delivery staff.

"Hey, there are three rounds of manpower over there!" Chen Tao said happily.

Well, what the government is cracking down on is motorized tricycles, human-powered tricycles are not within the scope of the ban. This is a fish that slipped through the net, not because of poor government management, but because there are very few manpower tricycles, who would choose to use pedals if they have mobility.

Song Weiyang helped Chen Tao get into the car. The owner of the car was a man in his 40s, and asked with a smile, "Where are you two?"

"Walk around casually," Song Weiyang said.

Chen Tao said: "Let's go to the Bund. Don't pedal too fast, just walk slowly."

The owner of the car was overjoyed immediately, and felt that it was worth it to be able to run this trip today. The two young people in the car had money at first glance, and they didn't even talk about the fare, they just let them stroll around slowly. Didn't they just ask the car owner for the price afterwards?

"The two are foreigners who are here to travel, right? Do you need me to introduce the scenic spots?" The owner of the car said very attentively.

"No need." Chen Tao leaned against Song Weiyang, blowing the cold night wind, half-closed her eyes to see the night scene, she felt that it was very comfortable.

After the tricycle started, although the speed was slow, it still brought a gust of cold wind.

Song Weiyang took off his scarf, put it on Chen Tao's neck, and said, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

Chen Tao wrapped half of the scarf around Song Weiyang's neck, and kept the other half on himself, and said with a smile, "Half for each person."

The tricycle wandered to the Bund, and it was even more lively here. From time to time, you could see foreign devils wandering around the night for fun, and there was even loud music in the open-air karaoke in the distance.

Chen Tao pointed to the other side of the river: "The last time I came to Shenghai, the Jinmao Tower was still under construction, and it was open for business in a blink of an eye."

"Yeah, time flies by so fast." Song Weiyang said.

The Jinmao Tower in 1999 stood out from the crowd, because it was surrounded by low-rise residential buildings and construction sites, which could be seen at a glance from several kilometers away.

Chen Tao suddenly shouted: "Master, stop!"

Song Weiyang didn't ask for the fare, and took out 100 yuan directly: "No need to look for it, thank you."

"No thanks, no thanks." The owner of the car smiled like a flower.

Chen Tao dragged Song Weiyang to the riverside, leaned on the railing and said, "It would be great if it snowed now, the snowflakes are dancing among the thousands of lights, and we will take a walk facing the snowflakes, that scene must be very romantic!"

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "Next year's New Year's Eve, I will accompany you in the northern city, and I will definitely see snowflakes."

"Then it's settled, I want to build a snowman." Chen Tao was very happy tonight, as if she had turned back into a teenage girl again.

At this moment, a young girl ran over, took a camera and said, "Well, can you take a picture for me?"

"Of course." Song Weiyang said.

"This is a fool's camera, you can just press the shutter button." The young girl was afraid that Song Weiyang would not be able to take pictures, so she specially reminded her, and then quickly ran back to her original position, hugging a handsome young man like Scissorhands.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Song Weiyang transformed himself into a photographer, constantly instructing the two to change positions, and quickly reimbursed each other for half a roll of film.

After the young couple left, Chen Tao smiled and said, "Let's take some pictures too."

"Okay." Song Weiyang said while holding Chen Tao's hand.

A photographer wearing a military overcoat was sitting in front of a roadside stall. When he saw them coming, he immediately said, "Take pictures and take pictures for three days."

"Can I pick it up today?" Chen Tao asked.

The photographer said: "Then you have to bring your own Polaroid camera."

Song Weiyang took out 100 yuan: "New film, we wash it ourselves."

"Not enough, ten yuan for a photo, and a roll of film can take three or four hundred yuan." The photographer said.

"Are you stealing money?" Chen Tao laughed.

"Cross-century, everything is expensive these days." said the photographer.

Song Weiyang was already the second richest man in China, and he was still in the mood to argue with the peddler, so he took out another 100 yuan and said, "200 yuan, if you want to shoot or not, if not, let's change to another one."

"Forget it, anyway, you develop the film yourself, so I will give you a discount." The photographer said with a smile.

Chen Tao immediately snuggled into Song Weiyang's arms, and said to the scissorhands, "Let's get started."

After taking a picture, Song Weiyang hugged Chen Tao from behind and taught her to compare hearts together. Afterwards, the more they took pictures, the more intimate they became, and Chen Tao let go completely. In the end, they even hugged and kissed each other, and fed the photographer full of dog food.

Chen Tao carefully put away the film, dragged Song Weiyang for a stroll, and stopped in front of an open-air karaoke booth.

The stall was already full of people, a couple of young people were singing a love song duet, and the cardboard next to it was written "One song is 30 yuan, 100 yuan to sing four songs". Sure enough, the prices of everything have increased these days.

"You go and pay the fee." Chen Tao is the little princess today and is only in charge of conducting.

Song Weiyang paid 100 yuan without hesitation, but still had to wait in line. The two were not in a hurry, they stood by and listened quietly, laughing and applauding when others finished singing.

But soon they couldn't laugh anymore. A pair of middle-aged men and women sang to death. Su Rui sang the song "Holding Hands" so that Su Rui was in a daze, and she had gone out of tune and gone to outer space. Most of the tourists gathered around the karaoke booth dispersed in an instant, making the stall owner regret accepting money from these two people.

Finally it was Song Weiyang's turn, Chen Tao asked, "Boss, do you have the tape of "Those Flowers"?"

"No, that song is too unpopular." The stall owner said.

Song Weiyang pointed to the guitar that had never been used and said, "I'll play the accompaniment."

Song Weiyang learned the basic chord technique of the guitar from Nie Jun in the dormitory, and later from Lin Zhuoyun, and now he can barely handle it.

"That piece of laughter reminds me of my flowers, which bloom quietly for me in every corner of my life. I thought I would always be by her side. Today we have left in the vast sea of ​​people... "

Song Weiyang accompanied quietly, and Chen Tao hummed softly. Although both of them belonged to the amateur level, the effect of singing in the open air was particularly wonderful. After a song was sung, there was applause from around, and some people even asked what song it was.

Chen Tao sang more and more vigorously, and said to the stall owner: "Boss, "Kindhearted Lover"!"

Song Weiyang's facial muscles twitched, and he subconsciously thought of an ad that cleansing is healthier.

"Microphone, catch it!" Chen Tao threw it casually, scaring the stall owner so much that he wanted to catch it.

After singing four songs and four more, the people behind the row were urging, and Chen Tao dragged Song Weiyang away in a good mood. They wandered around for a while, went to have a supper, each of them was half drunk, and finally took a taxi back to Chen Tao's house.

"I'm so happy today!" Chen Tao took off her boots and threw her coat on the sofa.

Song Weiyang said: "You go take a bath first, I'll pour you a glass of water, drink water to sober up after taking a bath."

"I'm not drunk, I don't take a bath," Chen Tao said in a rascal tone, blushing, eyes full of spring, and hooked Song Weiyang's neck, "Don't talk, kiss me!"

Song Weiyang was also a little bit drunk, so he buried his head and kissed him, hugged him in the living room for a few minutes in the dark, and finally went to the bedroom with the disheveled Tao directly across his arms.

"What are you looking for?"

"You prepared the condoms before, where did you put them?"

"I didn't have time to buy it, so don't wear it tonight."

"oh."

"Come on, I want it!"

"..."
