Chapter 80: Incense
Early in the morning on Saturday, Li Aihua sorted out the incense candles and other things to go to the incense.
After thinking about it, he took Magnolia with him.
Yulan didn't want to go, she still hadn't finished drawing the design draft, hadn't finished copying the copybook, and hadn't finished reading the books assigned to her by Ding Fan.
Li Aihua refused to compromise, so he almost dragged her away.
"You're going to grow mushrooms at home every day? You're going to shut yourself up if you keep going like this. Learn from your sister, have a sweeter mouth, smile more, and others like you a little more. I have a straight face every day, like my dead parents......"
Yulan whispered dissatisfiedly: "Ah Niang...... You're going to incense, is it really okay to talk like this?"
She couldn't hear the words "dead parents" the most, all the misfortunes in the past began with these words, and every time she heard these words, she would be reminded of those painful memories.
In this life, she hopes that the second elder will be stable, happy, healthy and live a long life, how to give up A-Niang to curse herself.
Li Aihua hurriedly snorted three times in a row, and muttered: "Forgive sins, forgive sins! ”
After speaking, he poked Yulan's head again, and he hated iron but not steel: "You see that you haven't had any friends since you were a child. It's like your sister, who loves to talk and laugh, and has so many friends. ”
Yuzhu is in the second grade, and she has a clever mouth at a young age, and she is spicy, and she has the posture of a big sister in the class.
Yulan couldn't resist her, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, I listen to you, please don't read it anymore." ”
It's horrible to be a mother's woman nagging.
She carried incense candles and followed Li Aihua and continued to listen to her.
"Your sister-in-law is about to give birth in less than two months, and your brother didn't even show his face during the Mid-Autumn Festival, except for asking people to bring back a bunch of things. I don't know how your sister-in-law is doing now? She is really, with such a big belly, what class do she still attend? Your eldest sister is too, doesn't there be a Mid-Autumn Festival holiday in college? She also told me that there is something that can't come back, and she is so far away, I don't know how she is, and it all depends on her mouth. ”
Li Aihua took something from Yulan's hand and urged Yulan to speed up: "I got up so early, if only I could pour incense on the top." ”
Magnolia disagreed, and pilgrims who wanted to burn their heads and pour incense often stayed there at midnight, only waiting for midnight to light incense.
Unless it's specially guarded at the gate of the nunnery, it won't be able to take its turn.
Fortunately, Li Aihua just muttered a few words, and he didn't have much obsession with Touzhuxiang.
Yulan persuaded her: "You can donate more sesame oil money to the nunnery." ”
This doesn't need to be reminded by Yulan, Li Aihua will do it every time he puts on incense.
While walking, Li Aihua greeted the villagers who got up early and went to the ground.
When people asked, Li Aihua said: "Hey, several children are outside, and it is rare to see each other a few times a year, so I will go to the nunnery to ask for peace charms for a few children." ”
The location of the nunnery is halfway up the mountain, and when Li Aihua's mother and daughter arrived at the place, the sun had just risen, and pilgrims had already come down the mountain on the bluestone road.
Yulan has good physical strength, and she didn't breathe while walking: "A-Niang, if you miss them, go and see them." It's not far to the city, grandma has a daddy to take care of, and my little sister is going to school again, aren't you free?"
Li Aihua shook his head, "Forget it, I'd better not make a mess." Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are busy enough, and there is nothing uneasy about having my own mother take care of me, but your sister, I always feel unsteady. I can't bear the long bus ride, otherwise, I really want to go to her school. ”
At the mention of this, Yulan also hesitated a little. Sister Ah called every month and said that she was fine, but when she asked her to go home and excused herself, Yulan was also a little suspicious, and after thinking about it, Yulan said, "Otherwise, ...... I'm going to go to the magic capital on National Day, I'll go see my sister. ”
Li Aihua glanced at his daughter: "You are so young, how can you go?"
Magnolia frowned, this is a problem. However, this matter is also very easy to solve, and it is a big deal to go secretly.
She's not really a child, so there's nothing to worry about.
Li Aihua reverently put on the incense, asked the good luck, donated the money for sesame oil, and knelt in front of the Buddha statue with a bucket and shook gently.
Yulan knelt beside her and looked up at the tall and solemn Bodhisattva, clasped her hands together to learn from Li Aihua's appearance, and said silently in her heart: "I am blessed by God to live a lifetime, and I swear that this life is only for good and not evil." If someone sins against me, I will spare him once unless he commits a great crime. ”
Li Aihua finally shook off a lottery and took Yulan to untie it.
Yulan looked at the two columns of small characters on the bamboo skewer that was finger wide and rubbed to the ground: "If you ask about the due date, the marriage is not ripe; ”
The corners of Yulan's mouth twitched, this sign doesn't need to be solved, Yulan knows what it means.
A-Niang didn't come to ask for peace, why did she ask about Sister A's marriage again?
The eldest brother and child in the family are about to be born, so naturally it is not for him to ask for it, he and his sister are still children, and it is not time for him to think about it, he can only ask for the eldest sister.
Yumei is 23 years old, and it should be easy to talk about someone in college, but she has never seen her single, nor has she ever said that she has a good impression of anyone.
Yulan had a bad guess in her heart, but she couldn't say it until this guess was confirmed.
Li Aihua listened to the master come back after signing it, and his face was not very good-looking.
In her opinion, her daughter is already so old, and if she doesn't find a partner, she will become an old girl who can't get married, but this signature tells her that her daughter's marriage is still waiting, can she not be in a hurry?
Yulan didn't want to hit her, so she had to choose to be silent.
In the past, Sister Ah married early, but what's the use?
The man she married had violent tendencies, and when she got drunk, she punched and kicked Sister A, and Sister Ah always had bruises on her body.
A-Niang received a high bride price, and she used it to fill the bottomless pit in the family, and she gave little dowry, and her brother-in-law's family was very dissatisfied.
When the man did it to Sister A again, his mother handed him a flat burden next to him, and the man was impulsive and broke Sister A's leg.
Sister hid back to her parents' house, but Daddy reluctantly drove her back to her mother-in-law's house.
Because of the delay in treatment, Sister A's leg became a little lame later.
When my father and mother passed away, my sister was divorcing the man.
The man refused to divorce and threatened to drag Sister to death.
Sister Ah has been hiding from that man for several years, until the eldest brother married a shrew sister-in-law.
The sister-in-law rushed into someone's house with a kitchen knife and threatened to die with them if she didn't divorce.
Although the family was afraid of death, they extorted a sum of money from the eldest sister before agreeing to sign the divorce.
Sister Ah never remarried, and she was in ruin for half of her life.
……
Li Aihua has been worried on the way home, worried that Yumei will not be able to get married.
Yulan really wants to tell her: it won't be long before more and more women choose not to get married, and they can live more than anyone else without marriage.
But this is something that can never be said, and as soon as it is said, A-Niang has one more person to worry about.
In order to clean the ears in the future, Magnolia became a saw-mouth gourd again.
The mother and daughter stopped and finally entered the house.
As a result, as soon as they walked into the living room, they saw a familiar figure sitting on the sofa waiting for them.
