Chapter 18: Burning Incense and Worshiping the Buddha
Yang Huahu said suspiciously: "Really, the temple has been rebuilt, and the money from the village?"
"I don't know who paid for it, but it was really renovated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I guess which big money went up the mountain to donate......" Yang Ping quickly diverted the topic and continued to brag about the temple.
Yang Hua was also in a mess at this moment, and a dead horse was a live horse doctor, so he listened. After eating, he went home and said to his daughter-in-law.
The day passed quickly, and the next morning, Fang Zheng got up early, cooked a pot of crystal rice, and ate happily.
If it weren't for the temptation of crystal rice, Fang Zheng wouldn't have been able to get up so early, but after eating the taste of crystal rice, he would have to eat it when he arrived, and he would never procrastinate.
It's just that there is a little bit of Fangzheng who is very unhappy, and the lone wolf who has always gone out early to find food did not go out, so he squatted in the kitchen and guarded. As soon as the rice came out of the pot, he stuck out his tongue and looked at Fang Zheng with a longing expression. If Fang Zheng ignored him, he could still shake his tongue and saliva flew wildly...... Fang Zheng had to share his food in order to send this ancestor away.
After eating, Fang Zheng continued to clean the Buddha hall, wipe the Buddha statues, and wipe the oil lamps, which are all things that must be done every day.
Seeing that the third day had begun, Fang Zheng looked at the empty gate and sighed: "Ten incense sticks a month, when will it be completed? This is the third day, and I don't know if anyone will come up today." Grandpa Tan and they are too, everyone is here, and they don't have a stick of incense in their hands, hey. ”
Just as Fang Zheng was about to see through it, there was a voice of someone talking outside, and listening to the voice, it was a man and a woman.
Fang Zheng suddenly came to his senses, and listened carefully.
"Yang Hua, you are really crazy, the big hospitals say no, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha can work? What age are you, you are still so superstitious!"
"What age is it? What era doesn't Buddhism exist? Aren't all temples there? It's all at the gate of the temple, if you don't say something bad, the Buddha will listen to it and blame it, and the two of us will really have no fun. Yang Hua reprimanded.
The woman snorted twice and said, "I mean, if you want to worship and go to the big temple, can this temple be useful? In addition to eating a lot, he didn't see any skills. ”
When Fang Zheng heard this, his old face turned red, but he didn't expect that it was Yang Ping's brother Yang Hua and Yang Hua's wife Du Mei who came this time. He was impressed by this Du Mei, his mouth was a little dark, but he was not bad, and he was straightforward and straightforward...... However, when he was a child, he was spanked by Du Mei a lot, and after thinking about it, he was going to see Du Mei again, Fang Zheng subconsciously touched his buttocks, and it hurt a little......
As he spoke, Yang Hua had already walked in with a middle-aged woman dressed plainly, and as soon as the woman saw Fang Zheng, she smiled and said, "Fang Zheng, let's come to see you, see what I brought you? ”
When Fang Zheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, in this poor and remote place, eggs are definitely a luxury, although sauerkraut is only pickled with cabbage, but there are not many in this early autumn season. There is no long winter, the torment of sauerkraut, but there is a year's miss that I haven't eaten, this sauerkraut has immediately become a treasure, a good product!
However, Fang Zheng still clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, donor." ”
"Smack!" Fang Zheng's bald head was slapped loudly by Du Mei: "What kind of donor is not a donor? You stinky boy, you still have a monk's tone with me." No matter what you are now, you are the little cub I watched grow up with. Anyway, how long has it been since I was back in the mountains? Why are you hungry and thin? Come, eat two eggs to replenish your body, the old hen got down this morning, and put it in the pot early in the morning to cook ......."
Fang Zheng listened to Du Mei's babbling words, not angry at all, but had a long-lost warmth. I sighed in my heart: "It's so nice to have someone to care......"
When Du Mei finished nagging, Fang Zheng said: "Auntie, the poor monks have already become monks, and they can't eat eggs and meat." ”
"That is, I told you a long time ago, Fang Zheng is already a monk. How can a monk eat eggs?" Yang Hua said, and then pulled Fang Zheng and complained: "You don't know, as soon as I said that I came up to the mountain to see you, this guy almost killed our old hen and made soup for you." I'm sorry to pull it, or it's going to be wasted. ”
Fang Zheng smiled bitterly, Du Mei was kind to him, but it was true that Yang Hua was a little stingy. But what Yang Hua said is right, even if the chicken is stewed, he can't eat it, it's not a waste. Old hens in the countryside are used to lay eggs, not to eat.
Du Mei pushed Yang Hua away, glared at him and said, "Babbling, what are you doing? Like an old lady, what kind of nonsense is there? Fangzheng, you really don't eat eggs?
Fang Zheng's face was bitter, he was not a child under the age of three, as for using this trick?
In the end, Fang Zheng refused, Du Mei was immediately unhappy, and said: "I worked hard to get it for you, you little cub don't want it, it's really ...... I'm!"
Seeing this, Fang Zheng hurriedly said: "I don't want eggs, but I want sauerkraut! This is a good thing, I haven't eaten it for a long time, you have to keep this for me." ”
Du Mei smiled at this time.
Fang Zheng took the sauerkraut and asked, "Auntie, did you come to the mountain today?" Is there anything wrong, Fang Zheng has heard it, and he can probably guess it, but he doesn't have a score about the degree of effectiveness of his own temple.
Du Mei said: "Hey, don't mention it, I haven't had a cub for so many years, but I hope to die." The hospital also looked at it, and the earthwork also tried, but it didn't work at all. Yesterday, your Uncle Yang didn't know which donkey kicked his head, saying that he went up the mountain to seek Buddha. You say that the hospital can't cure it, so what's the use of asking for Buddha? Besides, even if you ask for Buddha, going to a bigger temple can still be of some use. What is the use of your small temple, which has no three tiles on the top and three feet of ground underneath? The master of the big temple has the ability, and I don't know what you kid looks like? I know you have a birthmark on your butt in your pants......
"Ahem......" Fang Zheng was embarrassed.
Yang Hua hurriedly pulled Du Mei aside and said, "**Chatter, is it endless? It's not good to say it in front of others, do you still ask for Buddha or not?"
Du Mei said stubbornly: "I complained to Fang Zheng, but I didn't complain to outsiders? What's wrong? Fang Zheng can still be angry with his aunt? Fang Zheng said, are you angry?"
Fang Zheng said helplessly: "Don't be angry." ”
"Look, don't be angry, right? Then, Fangzheng, do you mean what your aunt said?" Du Mei asked again.
Fang Zheng shook his head this time and said, "Auntie, the temple is not big or small, and sincerity is spiritual." Although my temple is small, it is very effective. The power of the temple lies in yourself, not in the presiding officer of the temple. ”
