Chapter 760: Incense
"Yes, my little distance can't give her a scourge. Chen Qiuyu wiped a handful of tears, a trace of perseverance flashed on her face, and said: "Sister Ruxiang, the old woman said that Xiaoyuan is not allowed to take the university entrance examination, and she wants to let Xiaoyuan go to Ning'an Temple to be a monk.
"Huh?" At this moment, not only Zhao Yunxiang was stunned, but even Ren Zhongyuan outside the door was also stunned.
Let an eighteen-year-old grandson who is about to be admitted to a prestigious university with a bright future give up the college entrance examination and become a monk?
How much did Ren Lao Niang hate Ren Dahai's family to come up with this idea? Compared with Ren Lao Niang, her "ex-mother-in-law" Wu Jinfeng has become a normal person who can no longer be normal. After all, Zhou Zhixin was not born to Wu Jinfeng, and it is understandable that Wu Jinfeng is biased towards his own flesh and blood. This is Zhao Yunxiang's truest thoughts in her heart at this time.
Huaxia Country, Eastern Province, Heping County, Hongqi Village.
Early in the morning, it was still dark, and every household had already turned on the lights.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the villagers rushed to Ning'an Temple to make incense.
Speaking of this Ning'an Temple, it is a famous place in Heping County. It is said to have been built during the Ming Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years.
Before liberation, the incense of Ning'an Temple was very prosperous, not only the nearby villagers, but also hundreds of kilometers away from the big city, there were people rushing to An'an Temple to worship the Bodhisattva. Especially on the first day of the Lunar New Year every year, everyone rushes to go to the temple to make incense. People within a radius of 100 miles of Ning'an Temple know that people who can light the incense stick on the head every year have good luck all year round.
A few years ago, because of the movement, the Bodhisattva of Ning'an Temple was smashed by the red X soldiers from the city, and the local government publicized that it was not allowed to engage in feudal superstition, and the incense of Ning'an Temple gradually declined. In that special era, not to mention going to the temple to burn incense, even worshipping ancestors at home was not allowed.
As the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew all over the land of China, some of the previous taboos were released. Ning'an Temple also ushered in its spring.
Two years ago, I don't know where an overseas Chinese came, after going around Ning'an Temple, I felt that it was a pity that Ning'an Temple was such a good place, and after returning to China, I invested millions to repair An'an Temple.
A year ago, Ning'an Temple was renovated, not only the scenery is even worse, but even the Bodhisattva in the temple has shown a "miracle". Since then, the incense of Anning Temple has gradually flourished.
Nearby villagers also picked up the old custom and went to Ning'an Temple on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year to grab the incense sticks.
Huang Laoer, who grabbed the first pillar incense last year, is from Hongqi Village, and in the past year, Huang Laoer made a lot of money, built a big tile house at home, and bought a car.
The villagers like to follow the trend, see that someone really "made a fortune through the head pillar incense", all of them are itchy in their hearts, this year, everyone does not need to be called, one by one got up early, ready to go to Ning'an Temple to grab the head pillar incense.
Ren Lao Niang and her family also want to grab the first pillar of incense this year, but what they want is not to get rich, but to have a son. Ren Xiaohua has two daughters, and her mother-in-law has not treated her well in the past two years. Ren Xiaohua is Ren Lao Niang's treasure, and Ren Lao Niang must plan for her. Mrs. Ren said everything at home, and as soon as she gave an order, her two sons and daughters-in-law were all busy.
Ren Lao Niang and Ren Lao Dad didn't sleep at all, and after setting off the New Year's Eve firecrackers, they packed up the incense and candles and other things they wanted to use at Ning'an Temple at home, and woke up the whole family at four o'clock in the morning.
There are more than 20 miles of mountain roads from Hongqi Village to Ning'an City, all of which are walked by legs, and ordinary people probably have to walk for more than an hour. Ning'an Temple didn't open until six o'clock in the morning, and Ren Lao Niang planned to wait outside the door for a while, and when Ning'an Temple opened, the big guys rushed in.
Over the years, Ren Dahai's two younger brothers and one sister have become families. Ren Dajiang has two sons, Ren Dahe has a son and a daughter, and only Ren Xiaohua has two daughters.
Ren Xiaohua married in Heping County, opened a grocery store at home, and the life was okay, but the fly in the ointment was that she did not give birth to a son, and her waist in her mother-in-law's house was not hard enough.
It takes at least two and a half hours from Heping County to Ning'an Temple, Hongqi Village is close to An'an Temple, in order to grab the head pillar incense, Ren Xiaohua took her husband Chen Jinwei and two daughters back to her parents' house last night. Chen Jinwei is usually a little lazy, and he is reluctant to help the oil bottle when it is poured, but in order to give birth to a son to inherit the lineage, Chen Jinwei did not hide lazy this time, and let the old lady scream, and yawned and got up.
A few children are still young, and Mrs. Ren let them all be at home, the big ones are good at the small ones, and the people who save it will be crowded for a while.
When Ren Xiaohua went out, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she saw that there were already villagers who had set off.
"Mom, hurry up, hurry up, what should I do if I can't grab the incense stick when it's late?" Ren Xiaohua urged Ren Lao Niang, compared with Ren Xiaohua's impatience, Ren Lao Niang seemed much calmer.
"What's the hurry? Xiaohua, even if you can't grab the head pillar incense, didn't the master point out a golden strip for our family to go?" Ren Lao Niang patted the creases of the brand-new clothes on her body and said casually.
"Oh mom! Don't you know how precious your eldest brother is to his son, and my sister-in-law, if you don't agree, won't my business be ruined? Ren Xiaohua knew what Ren Lao Niang meant, but Lao Niang was not in a hurry, she was in a hurry!
Ren Xiaohua is not as optimistic as Ren Lao Niang. Over the years, Ren Dahai's officials have become bigger and bigger, and people have become more and more majestic, in front of Ren Dahai, Ren Xiaohua really didn't dare to ask Ren Dahai to help do something. Fortunately, there is Ren Lao Niang in this family who is holding down Ren Dahai, otherwise, the three brothers and sisters together are not Ren Dahai's opponents.
"Hmph! I'm the mother of the sea, do they dare to be filial to me? Ren Lao Niang pursed her lips, not caring at all about the cold water that Ren Xiaohua splashed.
In Ren Laoniang's heart, it is the greatest pride in her heart to go to Ren Dahai's army seventeen years ago and win Ren Dahai's salary.
What if Ren Dahai became a big official? How dare you not be filial to her mother-in-law? If she really didn't obey her, she ran to the army to trouble him.
As for Chen Qiuyu, Ren Lao Niang didn't take her to heart. I only knew that I was crying all day long, bullying her, and I didn't even dare to sue the boss.
"Mom, let's grab the head pillar incense first, even if you don't ask for a child, it's good to ask the Bodhisattva to bless you to make more money this year!" Ren Xiaohua had a sweet mouth, and immediately touched her mother's veins. As soon as Ren Xiaohua said this, Ren Lao Niang's face bloomed.
Over the years, if you want to say that Ren Lao Niang is not satisfied, it is that Ren Dahai's salary is too low. For such a high-ranking officer, it's only fifty yuan a month.
