December 24th, 1993, Christmas Eve was a Saturday.
In the evening, Shen Fei invited Guo Zhen, Wu Ziming, and Sun Yongqiu out for dinner. After dinner, he sent them home separately.
Next to the building was a newly built Christian church. Shen Fei and An Xiaonuan followed the crowd in.
After 1998, Shen Fei had the habit of going to church alone every Christmas. It wasn't until a few years later, when he was in the suburbs of the factory, that Shen Fei realized that he was no longer suitable for this kind of so-called spiritual purification place.
In fact, for Shen Fei, going to church was a bit like eating KFC, even though he traveled from city to city every year and went to the same place every once in a while.
It allowed him to keep a self-reflection mentality, so even though Shen Fei was not a Christian, he would still come to the church on Christmas Eve to reflect on everything he had done in the past year.
To many people, this was a strange habit.
There were a lot of people in the church. Shen Fei and An Xiaonuan had no choice but to go up to the second floor because they were not tall enough. They stood steadily in the front row upstairs and looked at the simple stable placed on the priest's platform on the first floor.
Shen Fei smiled at An Xiaonuan and said,"Have you read the Bible?" The Old and New testaments."
Shen Fei looked down from the stage. A nun dressed plainly was asking the church members how old Jesus was.
"You know that, right?"
"I know, 33 years old."
Shen Fei recalled the description of Jesus in a certain book. He was such a carpenter, such a person who did not spread his religion beyond his hometown and did not spread his religion for more than three years.
He created the world's greatest religious miracle.
As some Christian priests said, modern people no longer had the ability to witness their own lives and beliefs.
Faith needed to be witnessed through life. The Chinese did not have faith because they were too practical. There were not many opportunities to witness faith.
An Xiaonuan smiled and asked Shen Fei,"Why did you suddenly think of coming to the church?"?”
The nun downstairs had already gone down, and a dignified priest came up. When Shen Fei saw that he did not even take the Bible, he knew that he was a very eloquent person.
Shen Fei said to An Xiaonuan," This is a holiday brought by foreigners. Of course, we have to come to the church."”
"Just for this?"
" Of course, not all of them." Shen Fei's eyes were looking straight ahead, not looking at An Xiaonuan." Let's wait for the people downstairs to finish."”
An Xiaonuan knew that Shen Fei would not reveal the truth until the very end, so she did not say anything and quietly watched the priest's speech downstairs with him.
This kind of familiar scene made Shen Fei feel a little emotional. Time had really gone by inadvertently. He watched as 1993 passed just like that.
It was as if he had opened his eyes to see An Xiaonuan in 1986…
The only explanation was that this person was very happy now, unlike before, when he was always frowning. Perhaps there was another explanation. The current space-time was already a so-called parallel space. An Xiaonuan was just Shen Fei's neighbor, but she had changed in another direction.
Shen Fei turned to look at An Xiaonuan in surprise, only to see a small, blushing face.
At this moment, An Xiaonuan looked like a doll that had been carefully groomed. Shen Fei's heart was stirred by this cuteness. He could not help but grab her little hand and smile at her.
Not long after, An Xiaonuan's palm was slightly sweaty from Shen Fei's grip. Seeing that the priest was almost done, Shen Fei quietly pulled her downstairs.
An Xiaonuan took a bite and frowned.""It's a little hard."
Shen Fei and An Xiaonuan walked out of the church with manas in their mouths. At this time, the city's construction had not reached the standard, and there were not many street lamps on the road. Even the square in front of the city was only sparsely lit.
Shen Fei turned to An Xiaonuan and said,"How much do you think we'll earn if we win this city construction project?"”
An Xiaonuan was about to say something when Shen Fei smiled at her again.""I'm just teasing you. Let's not talk about work today.”
Reaching out, Shen Fei handed An Xiaonuan a small box."
