Chapter 68 The 67th watch fireworks with Jie Chen

My junior brother Jie Chen is a cute little monk, sometimes introverted, sometimes extroverted.To put it simply, Jiechen is introverted in front of outsiders, but extroverted in front of us. Jiechen is very shy, and often blushes before he can say a few words to unfamiliar benefactors.But in Tianming Temple, a young monk like Jiechen obviously received more attention, and from time to time, a benefactor would pull him to chat, so Jiechen's face was flushed red every day.The result of this is a vicious circle, because the benefactors prefer to talk to this little red-faced monk. In the past few years, perhaps because he is getting older, Jiechen’s habit of being afraid of others has changed a lot, but another habit of his can’t be changed, that is, he doesn’t like expressing his opinions very much. No matter how much he likes something, Jiechen He never asks for it, and we can rarely judge his preferences from language.This habit has given me and Jieao a headache for a long time, so I can only guess his thoughts often.

Jie Chen has a hobby, we know it, that is, he likes to watch fireworks. Whenever festivals come, Jiechen always sneaks to a high place outside the monastery, looking in the direction of Miao Town down the mountain in a trance, watching the fireworks set off by the townspeople with joy. At this time, Jie Ao and I would drag Jiechen and Jie Chi to the low courtyard wall of the temple. This place is high and there is no shelter, so it is naturally the most suitable place to watch the fireworks. When the fireworks flew up from the ground and the colors bloomed in the air, the happy smiles on the faces of Jiechen and Jiezhi were always brighter than the fireworks.

I remember one time, we heard a news in the temple that the small supermarket at the foot of the mountain was having an anniversary celebration again. This time, they wanted to celebrate the anniversary celebration, so they prepared some activities and bought a lot of firecrackers and fireworks .Jie Chen turned his head inadvertently and saw Jie Chen listening intently, Jie Chen thought this was a good opportunity, because before the fireworks were always set off on New Year's night, obviously they couldn't go down the mountain to watch them, but this time it happened to be Take them for a walk.

On the day of the anniversary celebration, Jie Chen happened to have something to do, so he told Jie Ao about it, Jie Ao took Jie Chen and Jie Chi down the mountain together, and they didn't come back until evening. A few days later, when we were eating, we suddenly talked about the celebration. Jie Chi and Jie Chen competed to describe to me the activities of that day's celebration.I casually asked Jie Chen, how was the fireworks that day?Isn't it beautiful? But Jie Chen said that he didn't pay much attention to the fireworks, because it was daytime, and the fireworks were very different from what he expected. Later, he was busy watching the activities and completely ignored the fireworks.

It turned out that that afternoon, Jie Chen, who usually liked to watch fireworks the most, completely forgot about the existence of fireworks. What was the reason?It's just because the gorgeous fireworks at night are completely lacklustre during the day. Many people hope to have the opportunity to release the brilliance in an instant to attract everyone's attention. It seems that it is not enough to simply learn to shine. Knowing when and where to shine is also very important.
