Since 1983

Xu Fei's family came here on the 27th. They started shopping for three days on the 28th, and it will be the 31st in a blink of an eye.

The capital city is 13 hours faster than New York City. There should be a family reunion, feasting, and getting ready to welcome New Year’s Day. It’s still morning here.

In the hotel cafe, a lovely waiter is introducing the situation to Mr. Xu.

"Usually the roads are closed at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the subway is blocked at six o'clock in the afternoon, so you have to get a seat at noon. The police will open a lot of iron fences to make you crowded in the designated area.

Don't carry a backpack, it's easy to be picked up by thieves, but don't worry too much, Times Square is the safest place in New York during the New Year's Eve. "

"Do you need to bring your own food?"

"Of course, you have to stand for at least ten hours for food, water, and warmth. Oh, and..."

The waiter smiled and said: "Personally, I suggest you wear diapers. Because if you go out to find the toilet, it will be difficult to squeeze back, and you will be robbed of your seat when you come back."

The diaper was originally derived from solving the problem of astronaut excretion, and later the technology was transferred to civilian use.

In 1904, the New York Times building moved in on the 31st, celebrated with fireworks at midnight. For the next hundred years, Times Square will hold New Year's Eve events, which are world-renowned.

Every year, a large number of tourists come here to count down, and the number of people in the millennium has exceeded 2 million. He hadn't tried it in his previous life, but he went to the Bund to see the New Year's Eve light show. It was crowded with feces and urine, and there were men on the left and right.

"3Q, thank you for your suggestion."

Teacher Xu gave two yuan, turned around and repeated it, and asked, "How is it? Shall we go?"

"Well……"

Hearing that it was so difficult, the two girls retreated.

"If you don't want to try it, it's already here, and you won't have a chance to try it next time."

"I dont go!"

"I don't really like it either."

Dafa didn't work this time, mainly wearing diapers is too embarrassing!

"I didn't think the New Year was important before. We pay more attention to the Spring Festival. In the past two years, the trend of thought has poured in. Some people have learned from foreign countries." Zhang Li said.

"Hmph, there are some of us! We belong to the ones who mess around just after a few good days... Hey, I remembered something you said before." Xiao Xu said.

"What?"

"Traveling is spending money and suffering."

"ha!"

Teacher Xu laughed, and said: "Traveling and spending money to suffer, that's because it hasn't been spent properly."

As he spoke, he called the waiter again and asked, "Is there any place where I can watch the event without queuing?"

"Sir, you are asking the right person!"

The waiter said with joy, "I can help you contact a restaurant with the best viewing angle, where you can clearly see the crystal ball falling.

If you add another $600, you can also get a New Year’s Eve Pass, and special staff will take you to the exclusive outdoor area of ​​Times Square for a closer look. "

"..."

The two girls are miraculous, is this okay?

Teacher Xu shrugged.

…………

Xu Fei made a reservation, went back to his room to sleep, got up for a snack in the afternoon, and went for a swim.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the three went to the restaurant.

Times Square is a large area with many roads, almost all of which are blocked at this time. A young couple came out of the subway, but were immediately chased in the opposite direction by the police, and had to detour cursing.

Iron fences and wooden fences blocked most of the intersections, leaving only a narrow strip. The police in New York City seem to be concentrated here, as if they are facing an enemy.

People from all kinds of places shivered in the long wait.

The golden arches on the side of the street have long since run out of seats, and even the door to the toilet is full of people squatting. From time to time, someone rushed over and found that the door was sealed, and angrily dropped a curse word.

The restaurant is also in the same building, condescending.

The seats are divided into three areas, the inner, the inner, and the innermost. There are windows on the innermost side, and the buildings in Times Square can be seen, which is really great.

A group of people were drinking and talking and laughing, with a subtle sense of reserve and superiority. I was slightly surprised by the arrival of the three Asians, and then suddenly realized, oh, Japanese.

Xu Fei snatched a seat by the window and looked out. The crowd below was blurred by the flashing neon lights, as if they had turned into a long and bloated snake.

"How does it feel?" he asked.

"It's nice to have money!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Xu said, "So I want to make more and more money."

"And then?" Zhang Li asked with a smile.

"There is no such thing as earning more money to make myself feel more at ease, so I will donate it to do good deeds."

"Hey, listen, let the audience know that Chen Xiaoxu's disillusionment was instantly disillusioned when he said such a thing." Xu Fei shook his head and sighed.

"Bah! Didn't you instill it in me?"

New Year's Eve is not about waiting. Starting at eight o'clock, there will be something to warm up everyone every hour, and there will be star performances.

After purifying the block, the activity is more complete, and even some hats, scarves, balloons and the like will be distributed.

The three of them had already finished eating and chatted all the time.

A violinist was walking around in the restaurant, playing from table to table. When it was the turn of this table, the two girls were embarrassed. Still not used to this kind of thing.

Finally, at 11 o'clock, someone came over to say hello, and everyone issued a pass. Under the leadership of a guy, he entered the closed area of ​​the square majestically. The police turned a blind eye, and of course kept the crowd behind their backs.

Just below that building, the lights are bright and charming, and a huge crystal ball hangs from the top.

First introduced in 1907, it has since become a repertoire, with the countdown ending with a crystal ball landing and ribbons wafting out.

"It's so cold!"

"I tell you to wear more than you don't wear."

"I didn't expect it to be so cold, it seems to have cooled down."

Xu Fei took off his hat, put it on Zhang Li's head, wrapped Xiao Xu's face with a scarf, put his arms around him, and hid in a leeward place.

The two made a little money.

In less than an hour, the noise from the street next door has already been heard, as if thousands of voices gathered together, buzzing and washing over the entire block.

After waiting for a while, Xu Fei looked at his watch, "Hurry up, there are only 20 minutes left."

"Alas!"

Xiao Xu suddenly whispered, Zhang Li looked around, and saw several couples not far away, who couldn't wait to kiss.

The speed of the car in the United States is extremely savage, it's almost raw, and it makes them blush - everyone knows that when the countdown reaches zero, they have to kiss the people around them.

But, but this is on the street!

As time drew near, the restlessness in the next street grew stronger. Finally arrived at 11;59, followed by 30 seconds.

Everyone started counting down: "29, 28, 27, 26..."

When entering the last 10 seconds, the building displays numbers, "9, 8, 7..."

The air is no longer cold, and it is ignited by fiery emotions everywhere. There are few people here, but the momentum is not small. Xiao Xu and Zhang Li's tempers were also driven by their surroundings, staring at the building, counting down softly, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

boom!

I saw the crystal ball slowly land, burst open with a bang, and countless colored ribbons floated out, one after another. In an instant, colorful wind and snow fluttered on the top of the tall building.

Immediately afterwards, several fireworks rose, colorful and splendid. Cheers rang out in an instant, those who knew each other and those who did not know each other wished each other well, and the lovers hugged and kissed tightly.

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"..."

The two of them had never seen such a scene before, and the fireworks and neon lights were reflected in their eyes, shining brightly.

"It's so beautiful!"

Xiao Xu jumped and clapped his hands, then turned his head, "Isn't she very beautiful, look at that... um!"

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open suddenly, and the two quickly closed their eyes.

Teacher Xu pushed the dining car in, "It's time to eat."

"Still sleeping?"

"ah!"

"ah!"

He wanted to lift the quilt, but the two of them covered it desperately, even shrunk their heads in.

In the end, they could only squeeze in the middle, hugged the two pretending to be ostriches, and said, "If you don't mind it, you will be overtime. We will check out today."

"..."

"Get up and eat."

"..."

"I can't catch the plane!"

Hearing this sentence, he moved left and right, and Xiao Xu said sullenly: "You go out first."

"Okay, I'll go out."

There was another squeak, Xiao Xu stood up first, sat up and looked at Zhang Li. Nothing complicated, just shy.

Taking advantage of the warmth of the New Year's Eve, the three of them played Tetris almost all night.

And died countless times.

(besides……)
