54. Footprints

Jinyu: I've been back from running ten laps on the playground, and you're still holding your phone and TV.

Huilan: It’s cold outside, so it’s fine if you haven’t fallen.

Jianqin: It’s great to stay at home on heavy snow.

Jinyu: I am the only one on the playground, and others are just like you.

Orange tangerine: Is there ice on the ground? It’s not cost-effective to break a bone.

Jin Yu: How can it freeze so quickly? It's almost the same until late at night. It's great to take a walk tonight, with fewer vehicles on the road. It's better than New Year's Eve, and the reduction is 90% off. The air is absolutely high-quality. I saw a few cars in a long time, and the speed was a few beats slower.

Juzhi: Who would go out in such a cold day? Unless you need to work, it would be great to stay at home.

Jianqin: Who would joke about safety? He would take the risk of traveling if he had no choice.

Jin Yu: The roadside was full of vehicles, and the roof was covered with snow. There were a few children building snowmen in front of the shop, and a few teenagers playing snowball fights on the lawn. I was the only one running on the playground. I left a string of footprints, waiting for you to see tomorrow.

Orange Citrus: The temperature will rise tomorrow and there will be no trace of it.

Jianqin: If you can't keep footprints on the snow, the temperature will disappear if it rises.

Jin Yu: Can you leave handwriting on the trunk of a tree?

Orange tangerine: No, it will be gone once it is cut.

Jin Yu: Can you do it on the stone wall?

Jianqin: The world changes and uncertainty.

Jin Yu: Where can I do it?

Orange tangerine: in the mind, in people's hearts.

Jianqin: In this way, you won’t be afraid of the snow melting or the sea turning into mulberry fields.

Jin Yu: Since this is the case, why do you still hold your phone and TV?

Juzhi: We haven’t thought so much yet.

Jianqin: Let’s talk about it later.

Jin Yu: How long will it take in the future?

Orange tangerine: It will not last ten thousand years.

Jianqin: I think it will be quick.

Huilan: The most urgent thing to need now is to get up and relax. Only by not doing anything can you do something, and don’t accept radiation for a long time.

Juzhi: Isn’t this the New Year’s Day holiday?

Jianqin: There is no time to play at work.

Jin Yu: You should also combine work and rest during holidays, so as not to waste time.

Juzhi: Yes, yes, I will combine to prevent the years from being wasted.

Jianqin: Let’s go to the playground now to see the footprints of Tutu.
