After drinking the sugar water, Zhao Cuiying took Ruofei to sleep, and on the first day of the new year, she was going to the temple to make incense, in order to keep the New Year, it was already late, and it was not a few hours before dawn

Back in the house, Ruofei obediently handed the red envelope she received to Zhao Cuiying, a child of this era, although there is New Year's money, but it is the left hand to the right hand, and it has to be handed over to the adult before it is hot in the hand.

"Give your mom help you pay your tuition. Zhao Cuiying didn't answer, but spoke.

But I was still very happy in my heart, my granddaughter took the New Year's money, and the first thing that came to mind was herself, whether she received it or not, she felt comfortable.

"Oh. Ruofei answered, and stuffed the red envelope into the pocket of her clothes, because her mother hadn't entered the house yet.

Zhao Cuiying helped Ruofei take off her clothes and stuffed her into the quilt, while she turned around and walked out of the house, because she still had to light the stove lamp, compared to children, adults would not go to bed immediately.

Staying up until the early hours of the morning, Ruofei was indeed a little sleepy, although it was cold in the nest, but she couldn't stay up She was too sleepy, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep for a while.

It's just that when Ruofei was asleep, he was woken up, and when he opened his eyes, the room was still very dark, and he just wanted to turn over and continue to sleep, but he was pulled by someone

"Xiaofei, aren't you going to the temple to release your life? Hurry up, or my mother-in-law won't take you there. Zhao Cuiying saw Ruofei close her eyes again, looking like she was ready to sleep again, and immediately said loudly.

The chaotic Ruofei suddenly woke up with a spirit, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that her grandmother had already dressed and looked like she had taken care of herself, and she was alone on the bed.

"I'm going, my mother-in-law is waiting for me. Ruofei suddenly lifted the quilt, and a wave of cold air hit, making her tremble slightly.

"What are you in a hurry, don't run out all at once, what should you do if you catch a cold later. Zhao Cuiying pulled the quilt and wrapped Ruofei again. At the same time, Ruofei's clothes were also handed over.

Ruofei nodded carelessly, took the clothes, and hid in the quilt to get dressed, so it was not as cold as it was at the beginning.

Get dressed. Ruofei got out of bed and followed Zhao Cuiying out of the house, at this time Guo Xingwang and Guo Shuyun were already waiting in the hall, and Guo Xingwang was preparing the incense offerings.

"Where's my uncle?" Ruofei didn't see her brother-in-law, so she asked.

"Your brother-in-law is not going, and he is still asleep in the house. 1. 1?k?a?nshu go brush your teeth, wash your face, and go to the temple. Zhao Cuiying urged.

Ruofei answered, and went to fetch water to wash, and when she cleaned up, the group was waiting outside the door with offerings and buckets, and the bucket was raised in the red carp that the village gave to Ruofei, if it weren't for Ruofei's release, in fact, there would be no need to get up so early to go to the temple to incense.

The sky outside is slightly blue, but it is not yet bright, because I have to go to the temple to make incense. Usually it's early rather than late, so even though I slept late last night, I still got up early in the morning and rushed to the temple, and I didn't even eat breakfast.

The temple they want to go to is located on the top of Yuntai Mountain, it is a Guanyin Temple, the incense is flourishing on weekdays, and the villagers of several villages below Yuntai Township almost love to go to this temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.

This Guanyin Temple is built on the top of the mountain, a row of adobe brick tile houses, from a distance it looks like it is actually a temple, in fact, this temple was built for a short time. The original Guanyin Temple was demolished by the Red Guards as early as the time of the four olds, and the current temple was built at the expense of the villagers on the original site, so it naturally cannot be compared with the old temple of the year.

However, Ruofei is the first time to come here, and she didn't come in her previous life. Because of her young age, the family was not willing to bring her, and later when she was a little older, she went to Shanghai, and it was even more impossible to come to the temple in this ravine, let alone a child of Ruofei's age. There are a few who believe in Buddhism, and most of them are atheists and have no faith at all.

Although the temple is simple, but the location is really good, located on Yuntai Mountain, the front of the view is wide, at a glance you can see several villages, as well as a large area of farmland and cultivated land underneath.

The back is leaning on another mountain, behind the courtyard is a slip of bamboo, covering the entire backyard in the bamboo forest, but there is a bit of literati style, Su Dongpo once said: It is better to eat no meat, not to live without bamboo. No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar. People are thin and fat, but people are not curable.

Therefore, the back of this temple is planted with green bamboo, which adds a bit of elegance for no reason, even if it is winter at this time, but occasionally the wind rises, you can still hear the bamboo leaves swaying.

Guo Xingwang went to the monk in the temple to talk about the matter after the incense, Zhao Cuiying took Ruofei's mother and daughter out of the main hall, turned around and explained to Guo Shuyun: "Yunzi, you take Xiaofei to release the child, and you will go to the back hall to eat, and after fasting, the two of you will go back, and I will go back when it is dark with your father." ”

"Got it. Guo Shuyun said, so he pulled Ruofei, carried the bucket and walked towards the back of the temple.

There have always been more pilgrims who burn incense on the first day of the new year, so the temple is preparing breakfast and lunch to entertain these pilgrims, and most people think that eating the temple meal on the first day of the new year can dispel illness and eliminate disasters, so many people are also willing to eat the food in the temple, which is the reason why Zhao Cuiying did not cook for the family in the morning.

As for why Guo Xingwang and Zhao Cuiying stayed, mainly because they had business dealings with the temple, they had been influenced by Buddhism over the years, and gradually believed in Buddhism, and they were more religious than ordinary believers, so they volunteered to stay to help the monks in the temple cook and greet other pilgrims.

After all, there are many people who burn incense on the first day of the new year, and the monks in the temple alone can't be busy, and the monks still have to do their homework, so many trivial things naturally fall on some pilgrims who volunteer to help.

Guo Shuyun took Ruofei to the back of the mountain, and found a well under a cliff under the bamboo forest, and built a well platform with bluestone outside the well, which was covered with mottled moss, and there were green ferns growing on the stone wall of the cliff.

Guo Shuyun took the lead in stepping onto the well platform, put down the red plastic bucket, and then stretched out his hand to Ruofei and said, "Come, Xiaofei, Mom will pull you over." ”

Ruofei took Guo Shuyun's hand, and with Guo Shuyun's pull, he stepped over the sewage ditch on the side, and stood firmly on the well platform, only to see that the well water was only a few centimeters lower than the edge of the well, as long as he squatted down, he could reach out and touch the well water below.

The water in the well is very clear, and you can directly see the fine sand and fish and shrimp at the bottom of the well, which shows that the well is not deep.

"Look, catch the fish and put it in the well. Guo Shuyun saw that after Ruofei stood firmly, he didn't immediately pour the fish into the well, so he couldn't help urging. (To be continued.) )
