Cold Winter (3) (2)

Jin Lian still lives in a courtyard on the west bank of the river. The courtyard was still cleaned up with weeds and was not in order. Jin Lian was also dressed neatly and neatly all day long. Every day, in addition to the trivial household chores in the outhouse of the cooking house, she devotes herself to the tablet of the gods on the shrine. Because there were almost no outsiders in her house, she no longer sneaked around like she did in the hotel, but directly placed the shrine on the conspicuous north wall in the middle of the Ming Hall. As soon as you enter the door, you will be facing the shrine. She specially asked someone to make a large table and placed it against the north wall. It is dedicated to the teacher's shrine. It is also wrapped in a large red cloth thinly, which is very eye-catching.

The god seat is a very delicate small wooden card, on which is written the words "the position of the ancestor god", which is the very fine block calligraphy of Zhenshu with a lot of effort to write. In front of the shrine is a copper incense burner that seems to be very old, and three incense sticks are burned day and night. Next to the incense burner are offerings such as apples, candy cubes, and snacks. Jin Lian prostrated to the god at three o'clock a day, day after day.

When the Zhenshu woman entered the door, Jin Lian was bowing to the god, muttering something in her mouth. The Zhenshu woman didn't dare to disturb at will, so she quietly hid outside the door and waited. It wasn't until the Golden Lotus was finished that he dared to enter the house. She first made a gesture at the god position, and then took out the underwear of the autumn equinox and asked Jin Lian to modify it.

When she lived in the supply and marketing cooperative's hotel, Jin Lian had already learned to sew underwear and pants and other needlework. The clothes and pants of the adults and children in the family are also sewn by herself. Therefore, such a small job is not difficult for her at all. She didn't ignore it because of the discord with Lanxiang, but took it quite happily, put it on the clay kang in the pot house, and seriously revised it.

Jin Lian was doing the work in her hand while chatting with her mother-in-law. Last night, she said, the teacher told her that the village was not going to be peaceful. In the past two years, I'm afraid something will happen.

The Zhenshu woman asked in surprise, what's going on, what's going on?

Jin Lian said that the heavenly machine cannot be leaked. Just wait and see, sooner or later, there will be movement. If the villagers could unite and worship God, they might have been spared this calamity.

Zhenshu woman said, how can you put your heart together. In addition to our family, we can sincerely worship the gods, you see, which family is still sincere to the gods.

Jin Lian said, no. Even if someone wants to worship the gods, they don't know where to worship or how to worship them. Unless a temple is built at the foot of the North Mountain, and the moon burns incense to worship, it is considered to be sincerely offered to the gods. There was a temple in that place, and it was dedicated to my teacher. Later, my teacher practiced in retreat for hundreds of years, and he couldn't leave the Immortal Cave Divine Mansion, and the people who worshiped the gods gradually became lazy. In the end, even the temple was lost. Now, the teacher has reopened the door of the cave and left the house to save the world, but there is no place to stay, so he found me. But my place is too small to exert much divine power. There has to be a temple to rely on, so that the teacher can use his magic power to save those who are suffering.

The woman in Zhenshu smacked her tongue and said, if you want to say that this temple is repairing and worshiping the gods, it was okay in the past, but now you don't dare to do it with wide eyes. The public doesn't allow that.

Jin Lian said, this has to rely on us to agitate in tandem. If we really build the temple, our yin virtue will be bigger. In the future, there will be gods by your side all the time. Not to mention that the days are stable, it can also bless the descendants of our family with great benefits.

Jin Lian's last words made the Zhenshu woman completely moved. She carefully weighed Jin Lian's words, and thought that if her family made a concerted effort to encourage the villagers to build the temple, what a great feat it would be. Thinking like this, my heart became more and more energetic. She said, try it first, maybe it will work.

Jin Lian saw that her mother-in-law was interested, so she further encouraged, just relying on our family is not enough, the whole village has to move to do it.

Zhenshu woman nodded frequently and said yes.

When she went out with Jin Lian's changed underwear and walked home, the Zhenshu woman was worried again. Although it is a good thing to build a temple and worship God, it is a great merit, but who will listen to him. Nowadays, in addition to being busy planting their own contracted land, the villagers are thinking about how to make money, and how can they be willing to throw the little hard-earned money they have worked hard to save into the temple. So, she regretted a little, she shouldn't have been in Jin Lian's house, guarding the Holy Spirit on the shrine, and she agreed to this. If the wish is not granted, the gods will be angry.

Thinking like this, my heart panicked, and I lost the accuracy of my feet. She stumbled onto the rocks in the riverbed for people to cross, and without paying attention, she stepped into the frozen ice hole. Suddenly, the biting ice water soaked the cotton shoes and cotton trouser legs, and she shivered all over. She was even more frightened, and thought in her heart that this must be her own lack of determination, which annoyed the gods and gave herself a warning that was not too big or small. In the future, I don't dare to annoy it anymore. If you say what you say, you will have to repay your vows.

She looked down and pondered how to repay her vow, and hurried home in a panic. Halfway through, at the corner of the sour jujube house, he hit his head on a person again. Both of them were startled, and both screamed.

The sour jujube lady is also hurrying out. I didn't want to, but I collided with the Zhenshu woman. She exclaimed in a high voice, "Oh, scare me to death, scare me to death."

The Zhenshu woman also rubbed her "pounding" heart, panting and replied, his aunt, why are you in such a hurry to go out. Look, it scares my soul away.

The sour jujube mother-in-law asked, sister-in-law, I just returned from Jinlian's house in Hexi.

The Zhenshu woman briefly told the matter of changing underwear for the autumn equinox, and turned around to leave. Because after the fright, the cold air on the feet and calves and stomach rushed down the legs and straight to the upper body, and the upper and lower rows of teeth involuntarily bumped slightly.

The sour jujube woman grabbed the Zhenshu woman and didn't let go. She said, it's still early to cook, come to my house and sit down.

The Zhenshu woman didn't want to go to her house, knowing that she was not a fuel-efficient lamp. If you don't pay attention to what you say and provoke her dissatisfaction, you really have nothing to do. However, people eagerly dragged home, and the door was beside him, of course he was embarrassed to refuse. pushed and let it be ruthless, but it really annoyed her. The Zhenshu woman accepted it on the surface, but in her heart, she reluctantly entered the door of the sour jujube family.
