Chapter 244: Buried Under the Stones
Early the next morning, Baima Ningzi came early, but the situation in the courtyard was very bad.
Aiko, Fog Yarn, Holy Son and Konoe Hitomi played a little mahjong for half a night.,Gambling in the dark.,Sleep together in the second half of the night.,The four of them covered a quilt.,Exposed enough to have five legs.。 In another longhouse, Rin Chihara slept on her stomach on the kotatsu, while Michiko curled up in a small ball in the kotatsu, only her little head exposed, her long eyelashes trembling from time to time.
Ning Zi smiled gently and helplessly, squatted down and gently stroked Michiko's little head, and then pinched Chihara Rin's nose heavily - this boyfriend is really a talent, with five children who don't care at all, let them mess around, obviously one person in one room, just sleep like this!
Chihara Rin first changed his mouth and gasped, but immediately reacted that something was wrong, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ningzi's squinting eyes, quickly sat up straight, rubbed his nose and asked, "What time is it?"
Ning Zi laughed quietly: "A little more than six o'clock." ”
The morning service in the temple starts at half past four and lasts until about six o'clock, and then the bell is struck to open the temple door. She got up at four o'clock and began to assist her mother and others in preparing everyone's breakfast, and when the bell rang, she felt that Chihara Rin and these people should be woken up, so she came over, but she didn't expect these people to sleep so soundly and didn't hear anything.
Chihara Rin stretched his waist, the joints on his body snapped a few times, and he smiled helplessly: "Do you get up so early?" He doesn't get up so early when he sleeps on the TV station, this is too traditional, right?
Ning Zi put his index finger to his lips, signaled not to wake up Michiko, and laughed in a low voice: "This is not Tokyo, if you practice in the temple, you won't have anything to eat today if you sleep until this point." ”
Chihara Rin also saw that Michiko was still asleep, so she carefully came out of the kotatsu, looked at the longhouse opposite, and hesitated, "Don't you call them up?"
"Let them sleep a little longer, they must have slept late last night, Chihara-kun really doesn't know how to look at children at all!"
Rin Chihara was thick-skinned enough, and said with a smile: "It's up to you in the future." ”
Ning Zi smiled slightly, seemed to acquiesce, and pointed to the wooden corridor, "Let's sit there for a while, don't make a noise about Mei Qianzi." ”
Rin Chihara left the room directly to the wooden corridor, and as soon as he left the room, the cold air of the winter morning hit his face, which immediately lifted his spirits. He sat down on the wooden verandah, looked at the courtyard, and found that there was a thin layer of frost on the ground, on the rocks, and on the pine trees, and that the east was just faintly milky white, and the sun had not yet come out.
Ning Zi also sat beside him, graciously grabbed his arm, looked at the courtyard, and said happily: "Today will be a good day!"
"That's right, it's warm after frost, cold after snow, and it's definitely warm today. ”
Ningzi turned her head and smiled at Chihara Rinto, she liked Chihara Rinto's character who could answer anything, and felt very comfortable chatting with him, if Chihara Rin asked why, she smiled gently and changed the topic - she actually didn't like to explain this and that to others.
She leaned slightly on Rin Chihara's shoulder and said softly, "Then let's watch the sunrise together and wait for the weather to warm up." The sunrise in winter is beautiful, I've always loved it, and it feels better than the summer sunrise. ”
Rin Chihara nodded again and again: "Maybe it's because it's in the northern hemisphere, the sunrise is southeast in the morning in winter, and the light will feel extra warm, fiery red, and it is indeed more comfortable than the sunrise in summer." ”
"It's not ...... explained"
Rin Chihara looked down at her, thought about it, and said with a smile: "It's cold in winter, and it takes more to see the sunrise, so it feels more beautiful psychologically?"
"That's a good explanation, is there?"
Chihara Rin pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "In winter, the earth is withering, but the sunrise symbolizes vitality and new life, it feels particularly good in comparison?" After he finished speaking, he saw that Ning Zi smiled and asked again, and hurriedly said: "Three reasons are enough, right? I can't make it up." ”
Ning Zi didn't force him, and said with a smile: "It's already very powerful to make up three crooked theories in an instant." ”
"It's not a fallacy, it's all based on science. ”
"When you're with your girlfriend, you have to talk about romance, not science. ”
Chihara Rin understood in seconds, gently stretched out his arms and hugged Ning Zi in his arms, and said softly: "No matter whether it's winter or summer, as long as I'm with you, it's the best sunrise." ”
Ning Zi tilted his head to look at him, looked at the milky white of the sky in the distance, thought about it and smiled: "Qianyuan-kun, you still talk about science in the future, romance is not for you." ”
Chihara Rin didn't care, anyway, his girlfriend was already in his arms, and he smiled: "Okay!" It's true, it's a bit embarrassing to let a utilitarian talk about romance.
They didn't say anything more, enjoying the rare time alone, slowly watching the milky white of the sky fade and the brilliant red began to soak through the clouds. There was also a trace of mist on the ground, and as a round of warm sun suddenly poked its head out, the glow filled the sky, and this trace of mist dissipated in a blink of an eye.
The sunrise in winter is indeed very beautiful, especially the moment when the sun rises, a line of golden light is draped in the glow, twisting and turning, as if you can feel that there is a spirit in heaven and earth, and the cycle of life is moving.
Ning Zi also seemed to feel something, and said softly: "I still remember the scene of watching the sunrise for the first time, I was very moved, and today is the same, but it is a little different." ”
Rin Chihara also saw it with great joy, and smiled casually: "Because it's with me?"
"yes, it seems to be more interesting for two people to watch together, there is a strange sense of sharing. Ning Zi looked at the sky, the brilliance in his eyes was very gorgeous, and his voice was soft and soft, "I used to have this feeling when I shared what I saw and heard from my journey with you, but now that we are really together, this feeling is even better, and we will continue to share everything in life in the future, the less we miss, the better, and make life more interesting together." ”
Rin Chihara nodded slowly, feeling that the "circle of friends" and pen pals that had not been in vain for so long had indeed laid a solid foundation for the relationship between the two parties, and he replied: "Okay!"
He has to pretend in the workplace, and he must have the bearing of a national teacher, and he will tell Baima Ningzi if he wants to scold him in the past, and it will be the same in the future, there is nothing to avoid.
Of course, you can't always use your girlfriend as a trash can, what Ningzi wants is to experience a wonderful life, and her workplace experience is also quite colorful, which is exactly something that Ningzi can't experience, so I'll tell her more about it in the future.
They snuggled together and spent half an hour watching the sunrise, the air was a little cold, but they both felt that each other was quite warm, and Chihara Rin saw that the sky was completely bright, turned his head and asked, "By the way, how did you arrange it today?"
"I said it, I'm going to pound rice cakes today. ”
"Pound it for a day?"
"There are many disciples in the temple, naturally they have to make cakes for many years, and they also have to distribute them to tourists on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the kitchen in the temple has steamed twenty bags of rice alone. ”
Chihara Rin is speechless, it's not just your family's food! Twenty bags, how many years will this last?
Ning Zi is an interpretive flower, just look at his expression to know what he is thinking, Wan Er smiled: "Don't worry, you just follow along, someone is in charge." ”
Chihara Rin was relieved, and immediately smiled: "When the time comes, the two of us will be partners!" While pounding rice cakes and talking, there must be a feeling of an old husband and wife, milk!
Ningzi glanced back at Michiko, turned back again, looked at Chihara Rin and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not easy to do, Michiko will definitely rob me." ”
Chihara Rin also glanced back at Michiko, and saw that she was still sleeping soundly, so she asked strangely, "What did she rob?" Twenty bags of rice are so many, what is there to grab, just let her play with Hitomi." ”
Ning Zi smiled again, shook his head and said, "It's not to rush to play, it's to rob you." Qianyuan-kun, she is very attached to you, I guess I am afraid that you will only have me in your eyes in the future, and there will be no her. ”
"No......" Chihara Rin is even more strange, he doesn't feel that Michiko sticks to him all day long! It's true that she runs to the TV station to find him every day, but she goes to school normally, and it's only two or three hours a day, which is not much.
Ning Zi squinted and said: "Yes, you are her hero, for her, you are special, if you ignore her, she will probably be sad for a long time, and it is possible for her to start giving up on herself again." ”
Chihara Rin frowned, feeling that Ning Zi was a little exaggerated, but it seemed to make some sense, and slowly shook his head and said, "Maybe she's still a child, you...... Do you mind?"Is your girlfriend jealous? Then again, it's natural to ask for monopoly after dating, and it's normal to be jealous!
"Don't mind. Ningzi snuggled her head to Chihara Rinto's chest and said with a smile: "I'm not that stingy, anyway, you're not someone who can change your mind, right, Chihara-kun?"
Chihara Rin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, on one side is a disciple, on the other side is his girlfriend, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, if they don't like each other, he will have a headache if he is caught in the middle.
Sure enough, there is a good wife in the family, everything goes well, Ning Zi is really gentle and atmospheric enough!
He hurriedly hugged Ning Zi's arm tightly and said, "Of course, you know me, it's enough to have you in this life." ”
Ning Zi also put his hand on his chest, felt his heartbeat, and smiled after a while: "I believe in you, Qianyuan-kun." ”
Rin Chihara smiled with satisfaction. He is confident that he is too busy with work, how can he have time to engage in extramarital affairs, and Michiko is only young, it is estimated that he worships him as a master, and it will be good to wait for the big one. He didn't pay attention to it at all, and joked, "So you believe it, if you look away, what if I'm really robbed of it in the future?"
Ning Zi looked up at him, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Qianyuan-kun, we like each other, this is very rare, we shouldn't miss it, I hope we can have a perfect relationship between us, we can care for each other, understand each other, appreciate each other, but there should be no regrets, after the agreement, you belong to me, I belong to you, so if you ......" She gently poked Chihara Rin with her finger, smiled gently and cutely, and pointed to the mountain stone in the middle of the courtyard, "I'll bury you under that stone!" But don't worry, I'll always be with you, telling you everything I've been through, all the way to old age, and finally buried together. ”
Rin Chihara looked at the rocks in the courtyard and couldn't help laughing. My girlfriend seems to be really worried, and she is threatened!
Actually, it's just a little jealous, isn't it? It's a little cute, and sure enough, it's different after dating! It's a little girly......
He was very happy and smiled and asked, "Really?"
Ning Zi smiled, squinted his eyes and quietly lay in his arms and didn't say anything, while Qianyuan Rin Wen Yu was in his arms, he felt good at first, and enjoyed the ups and downs of love, but he couldn't laugh with a smile and began to frown - it doesn't seem right, it's not like this is the case, after making a scaring joke, you should add a sentence "How is this possible, I tease you"!
He waited for a long time, a little uncertain, and cautiously asked, "Is this a joke?"
Ning Zi left his embrace and smiled gently: "It's time to wake them up for breakfast, if they sleep too long, they shouldn't be able to sleep at night." ”
She gently and gently broke free from the arms of Chihara Rinren, went to Michiko, and began to gently wake her up, with the gentle temperament of a good wife and mother. This was a scene that Rin Chihara had dreamed of before, but now looking at the beautiful back, and then at the mountain stone used to decorate the garden, I can't help but fall into deep thought......
It should be a joke, Ningzi is a bit of a perfectionist, very strict with some things, and doesn't want to leave regrets in life, but her nature is super gentle, shouldn't she be a sick and delicate type of girlfriend?
Is that a joke?!How does it make people's hearts hairy?
............
Ningzi is generally the kind of wife that Qianyuan Rin is looking forward to, she won't be able to do anything, she won't make trouble, and she will support him to pursue his ideals - this is very important, he can't be alone forever, he has to have a place to rest when he's tired, so can he stand marrying a girl who doesn't understand him?
A small quarrel for three days, a big fight for seven days?
He felt that he would definitely not be a perfect husband, so he had to find a girl who could accept his shortcomings, and he still had this self-knowledge! Ningzi was indeed suitable for him, and he was also very curious about what he had experienced, and he had always been full of interest, but this cold bared his teeth, and there was a sickly atmosphere in the gentleness and gentleness, and there was a kind of boyfriend who was okay and could be considerate, but he dared to betray his feelings and bury them alive......
It's changing so fast, it wasn't like that when we were friends!
Chihara Rin observed Ningzi very cautiously throughout the breakfast process, and found that she had not changed much, she was still the gentle and lovely good girl, who took care of this and took care of that, very virtuous, and suddenly felt that it was a kind of husband training technique before - nothing to scare her boyfriend, put out the bottom line, lest her boyfriend start to fool around unscrupulously!
It's possible, I heard that the girls in this temple have to go through strict bridal training, and there is a taming course in it!
Or, it's just a joke, just a little flirtatious love between couples. For example, like "if you dare to change your mind, I will kill you with a knife", and like "if you dare to cheat, I will die for you" - probably, I feel that this situation should not be uncommon between couples.
After observing it for a while, he put it behind him, anyway, he didn't plan to come nonsense, he really felt that it would be perfect to live with a girl like Ningzi in this life, and he didn't want anything else - he was satisfied with Ningzi in terms of family life, and the plan was successfully completed, and he didn't plan to build a new plan.
Greed kills people, he still understands this truth.
Then since he didn't plan to come nonsense, it doesn't matter if Ning Zi is slanting his teeth, after all, he is not afraid of shadows, his feet are not afraid of crooked shoes, and he is a good boyfriend, then Ning Zi will naturally be a super good girlfriend, so ...... Don't care!
............
The group of them had a hasty breakfast, the mahjong quartet was a little sleep-deficient, and their spirits were very sluggish, and Mei Qianzi didn't rest well, a little bit of a tail, Ningzi couldn't bear to let them help, and wanted them to go around the temple, so don't make rice cakes, but these five people felt that they had all said it, and they didn't know that there were twenty bags of rice, so they insisted on going, so they set off together and went to the big kitchen of the temple under the leadership of Ningzi.
Pounding rice cakes is a serious work of the temple to prepare for the New Year's Festival, naturally can not wait for their group of "tourists", when they arrived, many temple disciples and handymen were already in full swing, and Ning Zi and a middle-aged - I don't know if it is a monk, anyway there is hair - Ning Zi said hello, divided into two sets of mortars, and then smiled: "Okay, clean hands, ready to start!"
Except for Konoe Hitomi, the other four little ones are all city children, and Tokyo, as the most modern city in the world, has long been buying ready-made adult cakes, where will they make their own pounds, and now they all have eyes lit up, very curious, and energetic, and they are coaxing to meditate, ready to do a big job.
Aiko Yamagami is the most active, she is also a prepared cook, she can make rice cakes but she has never pounded them on a large scale (her shop also buys ready-made), and after cleaning her hands, she was the first to rush up and shouted, "I'll come first!"
It's fun, she rushed to get the big mallet, that is, the "pestle", and as soon as she grabbed it, Nishino Kimisa rushed up and slapped her on the back of the head, scolding: "What to rob, unruly guy, let the second adult play first!" Then she turned her head and smiled flatteringly, "Second adult, you come first, I'll give you Timmy!"
I lost too badly at night, and the Holy Son, as the biggest winner, is now shouting, she has to choose between "rogue villain" and "public fruit run", not to pat on the back!
She helped the holy son snatch the mallet, and then pressed Aiko to carry the steamed rice with her, Aiko's clothes today are also in debt, dare to be angry and dare not speak, and scuffle with her, and Ningzi ignored them, and smiled at Chihara Rinren: "Let's start too, Chihara-kun." ”
"Okay, let's do it together!" Chihara Rin responded with a smile, but he wanted to see if Ningzi was right, whether Michiko would rob it, but his eyes swept the surroundings and found that Michiko was moving the steamed rice bucket with Konoe Hitomi, nothing special, but a few people who looked like monks in the distance noticed this, and they were looking from afar, and their eyes seemed to be focused on themselves and Ningzi......
