Firecracker Mishap

Li Mei is a careless person. This problem, from childhood to adulthood, has never changed.

During the Spring Festival, she returned to her hometown, and her relatives gave her a lot of snacks, such as candies, cookies, and melon seeds, which filled her backpack. On the day she returned to the city, she was waiting at the train station and felt a little bland in her mouth, so she casually took out a "milk candy" from her bag, peeled off the wrapper, and threw it into her mouth.

"Bang!"

A crisp sound exploded in Li Mei's mouth, and she instantly felt that her tongue and teeth were not her own. A burning sensation rushed to her forehead, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Oh my god!" Li Mei covered her mouth and stumbled to the trash can, spitting out what was in her mouth.

Looking closely, it was not a milk candy at all, but a firecracker!

"Who is so wicked, putting firecrackers and milk candy together!" Li Mei was so angry that she felt her entire mouth was numb.

People nearby were startled by this sudden scene and gathered around.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"

Li Mei covered her mouth and said vaguely, "I... I... ate a... firecracker..."

The people around were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, eating firecrackers? You are the first!"

"This big sister is too funny, she can't even tell the difference between firecrackers and milk candy!"

Li Mei was angry and annoyed, but her mouth was really hurting, and she couldn't bother to argue with them. She hurried to the train station's medical room, and the doctor checked and said, "Fortunately, it's just a slight damage to the oral mucosa, nothing serious. Go back and rinse your mouth with salt water, and it will be fine in a few days."

Li Mei was relieved.

Back home, Li Mei told her husband Wang Qiang about this. Wang Qiang was also laughing after hearing it.

"I said, can you be more careful! Firecrackers and milk candy, one is hard and the other is soft, can you also make a mistake?"

Li Mei glared at him: "It's not your relatives' fault, they stuffed all kinds of messy things into my bag!"

Wang Qiang quickly smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. To apologize, I'll cook you a good meal."

The next day, Li Mei went to work. Her colleagues all knew about her embarrassing story of eating firecrackers, and they all teased her.

"Sister Mei, next time you eat candy, remember to tap it with your teeth first to see if there is any gunpowder smell."

"Sister Mei, do you now have a built-in explosion effect when you speak?"

Li Mei was dumbfounded and could only let them tease her.

In the evening, Wang Qiang specially made a sumptuous dinner and bought a box of imported chocolates.

"Wife, eat something sweet to calm your nerves," Wang Qiang said considerately.

Li Mei picked up a piece of chocolate, looked at it carefully, and smelled it again. After confirming that there was no problem, she put it in her mouth with confidence.

"Well, it's delicious!" Li Mei said contentedly.

Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "By the way, Wang Qiang, do we still have firecrackers at home? I remember my son bought a lot during the New Year."

Wang Qiang was stunned: "Yes, why?"

Li Mei smiled mysteriously: "I want to try to see if I can light a firecracker with my mouth."

Wang Qiang was shocked: "Are you crazy! Are you still not blown up enough!"

Li Mei laughed, and her mood suddenly improved.

Life is like this, it will always give you some unexpected "surprises". Just like this firecracker, although it injured her mouth, it also brought her a lot of joy.

Perhaps, this is the "explosive point" in life.
