Chapter 240: Tricked

Zhu Yida slept lazily in the morning, last night he and Lao Han drank and chatted until the early hours of the morning after dinner, and he still had a headache after getting up in the morning. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Lao Han has gotten up, Lao Han's wife and daughter went back to their parents' house today, both husband and wife are teachers, it is a little good, there are nearly three months of vacation every year, you can accompany the children well.

After eating two large bowls of noodles at home, the two big men decided to go out to Chen Cai's house, his grandfather's Taoist temple.

"During the summer vacation, we have home visits, for students whose families are in difficulty, or who are in special circumstances. This Chen Cai's grandfather is a Taoist priest, blind and deaf, Chen Cai's grandmother has passed away, and my father and mother have been working for many years, so I have to spend more time on this kid. ”

Han Qi said this, took a bottle of soju from home, and brought some side dishes, which were for Chen Cai's grandfather.

An important reason why Zhu Yida was able to become friends with Han Qi was that Han Qi had the heroic spirit of a Sichuan robe brother.

In a place like school, there are many women and children, and there are many trivial things around him, and a big man will inevitably become calculating and stingy in such a working environment.

And Zhu Yida saw a completely different temperament in Han Qi, he was kind but not pedantic, straightforward but not reckless, bold and generous, and always helped each other without asking for anything in return.

Perhaps because the economy of Lushan is not developed enough, it is not easy for a person with such a temperament to still exist in society, and to be a principal, and to be supported by students and teachers.

Zhu Yida took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and was about to go to the supermarket near the school to buy something to bring with him, but Han Qi said: "Old Zhu, you don't need to buy things, I often bring things to him." You have other tasks in the past, help me talk to this old Taoist when the time comes, and let Chen Cai not drop out of school and continue to study. ”

Zhu Yida was a little curious about what was going on, could it be that Chen Cai's grandfather didn't let Chen Cai study?

Lao Han took Zhu Yida into the car, and explained the situation at Chen Cai's house to Zhu Yida while driving.

Chen Cai's surname is Chen, but his grandfather is not surnamed Chen, but surnamed Yu, he is not Chen Cai's biological grandfather, because Chen Cai's father was adopted by Daochang Yu back then.

This is going to involve the past of ten years of turmoil, in short, after adopting Chen Cai's father, Yu Daochang pulled him to grow up, at that time the economic environment was poor, Chen Cai's father stopped reading until he graduated from middle school.

Yu Daochang sent Chen Cai's father to learn the trade-carpenter, and the first job Chen Cai's father did after learning carpentry was to help rebuild the Taoist temple.

Yu Daochang's main job is to do things, so he has some reputation in nearby villages and towns, so he told Chen Cai's father about his family, and then he has Chen Cai's little grandson.

Later, when he couldn't earn much money working in the town, Chen Cai's father went to work in the eastern city, and then took Chen Cai's mother over.

Originally, they wanted to take Chen Cai over and go to the big city, but Daoist Yu was unwilling.

And Yu Daochang's reason was not to let his grandson stay in Lushan to accompany him, but to say, "The time has not come, if you don't meet a nobleman, this kid will leave Sichuan, but it will be a disaster." "This is what he calculated for his grandson's fortune.

Chen Cai's father was brought up by Yu Daochang since he was a child, and he was afraid of fortune telling, and he thought that his son was too young to follow in a big city, and his study and life were all problems, so he left Chen Cai in Lushan and lived with his grandfather.

This year, Chen Cai is already a sophomore in high school, his grades have not improved, and he will not be able to pass the university examination nine times out of ten, so Yu Daochang wants him to drop out of school like his father, learn a trade, carpenter, mason, and wait until he is an eighteen-year-old adult, just go out to work with his father, and he can also eat in society.

This situation is very common in Lushan, and in the past, there were often students who dropped out of high school before finishing high school, either going out to work with relatives, or having a small business at home and learning to do business with their parents.

However, in recent years, such a situation has begun to become less, more and more students at least finish high school, and some who can't get into the undergraduate exam try their best to get into a technical school, because everyone knows that in this society, it will be difficult to mix without a degree. Except for those who have a business and industry at home, ordinary families will try to let their children study as much as possible.

Han Qi himself belongs to the people whose fate was changed by reading, otherwise according to his appearance, he would not be able to be the principal.

Therefore, Han Qi has been trying hard to persuade Daoist Yu to let Chen Cai continue to read. After some hard work, Daoist Yu changed his mind some time ago and decided not to let Chen Cai drop out of school to learn carpenters and masons, but directly let him learn to be a Taoist priest and inherit his mantle and Taoist temple.

This time it's even more over, I didn't persuade a college student for a long time, but I wanted to persuade a Taoist priest.

It stands to reason that whether Chen Cai reads or not, whether he is a Taoist priest or not, is a family affair of others, Han Qi is only responsible for his affairs in school, and he has no way to control people's future life choices.

However, Han Qi was very stubborn and said that he must persuade Daoist Yu to stay.

After listening to Han Qi's narration, Zhu Yida knew the cause and effect, and asked strangely: "I said Lao Han, I don't think there's anything bad about being a Taoist priest, maybe you can soar one day! That's awesome, it's better than being the richest man in the world." ”

Han Qi said: "I don't care what he does in the future, I think that he is still a child now, he has no concept of his future, and he can't decide the future path casually." Since he is still in school, I have a responsibility to him, and he should continue his education until one day he becomes an adult and can make a choice, then I don't care if he wants to be a monk. ”

Han Qi's words made a lot of sense, Zhu Yida stopped joking with him, and decided to go to the Dao to see what the situation was, and help if he could.

Yu Daochang's Taoist Temple is located in a mountain col on the outskirts of Lushan, which is the source of a small river, which flows down the river and is the village and town under Lushan County. This col is located in the remnants of Longmen Mountain, and the two earthquakes of that year were not affected by a lot, so the road up the mountain is relatively broken, and cars can barely drive in.

When Zhu Yida and Han Qi arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple, they found that this Taoist temple was more broken than the road, the Taoist temple was not big, a typical Sichuan-style building, the eaves were very high, and the black tiles and red walls were red, but most of these tiles were broken, and the walls were even more mottled.

Entering the door of the Taoist temple, a small courtyard, a Sanqing Palace, a side house, a tree, a well, and no other superfluous things into the eyes. The Sanqing Hall was affected by the earthquake, and a corner collapsed, but it has not been repaired yet. However, the partial house is quite complete, and it seems that Lao Dao and Chen Cai live in the partial room.

Han Qi carried wine and food in his hand, walked to the door of the side room and shouted twice, Chen Cai walked out of the room, then pointed to the Sanqing Palace, and said, "Inside, I said that I was worshipping God." ”

Taoist temples and temples are different, rarely burn incense to worship God, generally fortune telling, practice, or draw lots, look at the appearance, recently this Yu Lao Dao's body has deteriorated, and he can't see or listen, so he wants to let Chen Cai take over his class, I don't know what god he is worshipping now.

So, Han Qi put the wine and food into the side room, beckoned to Zhu Yida, and the two entered the black and dark Sanqing Hall together, this hall enshrines the Taoist Sanqing, which is not very big from the outside, and only after walking in does it feel deep and dark, as if it is two or three times larger, mainly the three statues of gods stand at the head, which makes people unconsciously feel that they have become smaller.

As soon as the two of them entered the main hall, an old man in a black robe walked out from the back of the main hall, he walked strongly, his face was thin, and he looked quite immortal, and he didn't look like he was sick at all.

This is Yu Lao Dao, Han Qi saw him, walked forward and shook his hand at Lao Dao, and said, "Yu Guan Lord, can you see it?"

Yu Laodao glanced at Han Qi and said, "You can see it, you are still so ugly!"

Han Qi's face sank, and he said, "The last time I came, I said that you couldn't see clearly, and you couldn't even figure out whether I was a man or a woman, I thought you were blind." ”

Yu Laodao said: "If I am blind, I will also be ugly and blind by you!

It seems that Principal Han was fooled, this old man is in good health, there is nothing wrong with him at all, he is neither deaf nor blind, and his spirit is still very lively.

At this time, Lao Dao saw Zhu Yida, and no longer paid attention to Han Qi, but said to Zhu Yida: "This is Principal Zhu, right?"

Zhu Yida nodded, he was a little strange, how could this old man know himself, he hadn't revealed his identity to Chen Cai, let alone Han Qi.

Seeing Zhu Yida nodded, Lao Dao said again: "You have to come to Lushan every year, it's really hard for you, this time you followed Han Qi to me, it can be regarded as fate, I have a few things to show you." ”

Now Zhu Yida is even more strange, as soon as he comes, he doesn't say a word, he has to show himself something, is it a secret book? Or is it a treasure? Or a feng shui book? Zhu Yida usually reads fantasy novels, and all that flashes in his mind is these things.

As a result, Lao Dao brought Zhu Yida to the back of the Sanqing statue, where there is also a statue, not another god statue, but Zhao Gongming, the god of wealth. There was a futon under the statue, and Lao Dao lifted the futon and then lifted a brick below, and took out a wooden box from it.

Zhu Yida's heart is about to jump out, is it really a baby?

As a result, Lao Daocong opened the box, and there were large and small, colorful deposit receipts inside, which were available in various banks.

Now Zhu Yida was a little dumbfounded, what does this mean? How do you put a deposit slip in it?

At this time, Lao Dao pulled the futon to his feet, and was about to kneel in front of Zhu Yida, which frightened Zhu Yida, this Lao Dao is the same age as his father, where can he afford this kneeling, hurriedly stepped forward to support Lao Dao, and asked: "Old man, what do you mean by this?"

Daoist Yu took out the deposit slip and handed it to Zhu Yida, and said: "This is the money I have saved for more than ten years, and I don't use it for cultivating Taoism, I just want to let my children go out to study." But in a place like Lushan, you can't read a book, and I know that Principal Zhu, you are from Jiangsu, and the education there is better. I thought, let Chen Cai, go to your place to study! A few days ago, I calculated that there would be a noble person to help this doll soon, but I didn't expect you to come so soon. ”

Zhu Yida was completely confused, just now Han Qi also said that the old Taoist wanted Chen Cai to learn carpenter and become a Taoist priest, why did he want him to study again now, and he also wanted to go to Jiangsu to study? And how did this old Taoist know that he was the principal, and his surname was Zhu, and he was still the principal of Jiangsu. Could it be that Han Qi is acting?

Zhu Yida looked at Han Qi, this guy was looking confused, it didn't seem to be him, it was estimated that he was confused.

It can be seen that this is Yu Laodao's idea is very simple, hoping that children will go to a better place to study, but there are no channels and means, so they can only take this opportunity to use this primitive method to ask for help.

He asked Zhu Yida, and he was right, although he was only a principal, but he really gave the school the power to increase the number of students - Bai Ye is an example. Moreover, students studying in Jiangsu and returning to Sichuan for the college entrance examination will not suffer no matter how you look at it.

But Zhu Yida always felt that he was being tricked, what was wrong? How does it seem that this old man knows himself very well, can he really pinch and calculate?

Zhu Yida didn't agree immediately, this was not a casual thing, he decided to talk to Yu Laodao and Chen Cai to see what the situation was.
