Master Qin drives a taxi, not the kind of taxi that wanders around the streets looking for work. He drives a car that needs to be reserved in advance. The model is very good. It is an American Cadillac brand. It is inlaid with real cherry wood, and there is also a small refrigerator and a small TV in the car. However, this car is not very new, so that’s good. Is the cost of renting it by the hour so expensive that it is daunting? Ordinary people occasionally Affordable to rent too - of course, it is rented for special occasions, and ninety-five percent of the renters are newlyweds. I call Master Qin's car a float.When it is dispatched, it is usually covered with red silk and decorated with flowers. Yes, the flowers on its front, roof, and inside of the car are not fake flowers, but real flowers. The main ones are bright red roses. It will be matched with other flowers, which are full of color, fragrance and joy.Master Qin always wears suits and leather shoes when he is in the car, his beard is shaved clean, and he wears a tie with bright stripes, especially his sincere smile, it is like planting heart-warming flowers into your heart.

Master Qin is 48 years old, and his son is in college. He always said: "I am the most suitable for driving this float. The husband and wife are harmonious, the elders are healthy, and the son is promising. Take my car and you will be happy!" , Hundreds of times, people who called the company to order a car, some actually said: "Master Qin didn't drive it, so it's not unusual for you to give us that Cadillac!" I asked Master Qin: "Huahuache, what's the story? Tell me!" He said: "Don't mention the word 'story' to me in the future—reverse these two words, it is What? Our drivers are the most taboo!" He said: "Actually, I have been driving for more than two years, and the newcomers in the floats are all similar to me. Putting your mouth together... There is nothing unusual about it. According to me, it's fine, you have to have something..." He laughed and swallowed the word "story" into his stomach.

The day before yesterday, I saw the Cadillac driven by Master Qin driving by on the street.Although the car was decorated with the Chinese character Xi, the flowers on it were still the most eye-catching. I still insisted not calling it a happy car but a float car.A man and a woman fall in love and get married. They will spend the first night of their lives on that night, enjoying the bliss of healthy sex. And, on a certain day, the sperm of one party will fuse with the egg of the other party. About 10 months later, their It will be the first time to taste the joy of being a father and a mother... Isn't the most common and normal situation in life the most beautiful poem, the sweetest song, and the most worthy of our cherishment and persistence?Yes, it is better not to have "accidents" derived from "story". May the flowers be always happy and the moon always be round. Even though there will be wind and rain, ups and downs, turbulence, joys and sorrows in the years, but I have been on the float of Master Qin It is best to finally grow old together, to sieve "stories" and "accidents" out of the sieves of time, and to keep the ordinary and normality of respecting each other as guests, unswerving determination, mutual support, and sharing weal and woe forever in the track of life.

Master Qin didn’t tell stories, but he told me about his mood when he was driving: “One time, when the bride came over, I was shocked—why did she look so much like me? Of course, I’m talking about the old woman She, and, with imagination - if this wedding dress had been in fashion 23 years ago, she would have looked that way... Hey, I was so distracted the other day when I was driving, and I couldn't stop thinking, what if I , still as young as 23 years ago, holding hands and sitting in the back seat, how wonderful it would be!" I thought to myself, isn't this the story?Ah, indeed, once there is a story, one must really watch out for accidents!I smiled and said to him: "You two are going to sit in the back seat, who will drive for you?" He looked at me and said seriously: "It should be you!" Me? 23 years ago?My husband and I got married 30 years ago, so I have never seen such a float... I couldn't help but have mixed feelings.
