29. Honeymoon
After returning home, the two of them disassembled and arranged the kitchen utensils they bought, stuffed all the vegetables into the refrigerator, and then began to prepare today's lunch.
Although the kitchen is very spacious, the space seems to be suddenly cramped with two people crammed inside. Qin You made a move, Lu Ning stood next to him and directed, first washing the rice and putting it in the pot, then washing and cutting it at a meal, processing all the ingredients and preparing the ingredients, and finally to the most critical step: stir-frying.
With Lu Ning by his side commanding Ruoding, Qin You also played extraordinarily, although there were two times during the period when he was in a hurry and almost misplaced something, but it could be regarded as smooth. The most important thing is that the dish that comes out of the pot for the first time does not look very good, but it tastes good.
In the end, looking at the four dishes and one soup he had remediated, Qin You's heart was also full of pride.
"How is Mr. Qin's cousin?" He turned his head and asked Lu Ning.
"I'll give you an 82." Lu Ning made a joke.
Mr. Qin, who never swiped Weibo, and went online must be to hold a conference call or check his email address or information. Although 82 points does not seem low, at least it is excellent, but there is still a long way to go from 100 points.
He took a deep breath and firmly believed that this was his wife's order to encourage him to continue to improve, so he set high standards for himself. After comforting himself like this, Mr. Qin's heart was smooth.
The meal also happened to trip, so two hungry people, who had been busy all morning, sat down to fill their stomachs.
After eating, Qin You discussed with Lu Ning, "Let's go back to see our mother today, and we'll set off tomorrow, okay?" ”
"Go?" Lu Ning was very surprised.
Only then did Qin You remember that in order to surprise Lu Ning, he had not told her about it. But it seemed even more strange to say it solemnly at this time, so I had to vaguely say, "Go on a trip." ”
Fortunately, Lu Ning immediately understood that it was a honeymoon trip.
But there are more important questions at hand, "Where to go, how long?" ”
"I can only spare a week." Qin You said, "Do you have any places you want to go?" ”
"You should have arranged it, right?"
Qin You resolutely refused to admit this, "We can go wherever you want." Anyway, the temporary arrangement is in time. ”
Lu Ning still feels very strange about going abroad, and in a week's time, no matter where she goes, it seems to be a quick sight. She hesitated slightly, and finally picked a place in China, "I want to go to Tibet." ”
"Tibet?" Qin You was a little surprised, but the moment Lu Ning said these two words, his heart seemed to be full of urgent anticipation for that legendary pilgrimage site.
In the afternoon, the two of them went to the flower shop. Zhang Jijuan's complexion still looked very good, and Lu Ning was relieved. Halfway through, Zhang Jijuan took advantage of Qin You's lack of attention and pulled her to the side, "Xiao Ning, Mom doesn't care what is going on between you and Qin You, but since you are married." Just live a good life, you know? Mom doesn't have any other thoughts now, she just hopes that you are doing well. ”
"I see." Lu Ning looked at Zhang Jijuan's expression, and somewhat understood, she might have already guessed the transaction between herself and Qin You. It's just that Qin You's expression over the past year has dispelled her worries.
She couldn't help but think of her previous life, when the situation was much worse than now, Zhang Jijuan really didn't know what her relationship was with Qin You? No, she should know. But perhaps because a qiē has already been a fait accompli, she never mentioned it.
No wonder she was never happy. Maybe she has been blaming herself for dragging Lu Ning down in her heart, so she chose such a path. The more Lu Ning had a bad time, the more difficult it was for her to rest assured.
It's a pity that Lu Ning thought she was hiding it well, but now that she thinks about it, she looks lifeless every time she goes home, and she can't see anything when she is a mother?
What kind of mood did she get along with Qin You at that time?
"Mom, don't worry." In the end, she couldn't help but feel sour, "Qin You is very good to me, I ...... in my heart I like him too. We'll have a good time. You also take care of your body, I still think that you will live a long life and always be with me. ”
She rarely showed a dependent expression in front of Zhang Jijuan, which caused Zhang Jijuan to also feel sad, "Okay, mom lives a long life!" ”
Knowing that they were going to travel the next day, Zhang Jijuan left them for dinner and sent them back.
The next morning, the two packed their bags and set off. Since the time is only seven days, the final destination is Namtso Lake, transit in Lhasa, and you can also go to see the Potala Palace.
In Lu Ning's eyes, Tibet has a unique temperament that is completely different from any other place. It seems to be walking in another time and space, relatively independent and closely connected with the world in which it usually lives. It's a very subtle feeling.
After arriving in Lhasa, Tibetans dressed strangely can be seen everywhere, most of whom hold unique and beautiful prayer cylinders in their hands.
After Lu Ning and Qin You asked, they knew that this was turning the prayer wheel. This is a very devout practice of worshipping the Buddha, and it is very common in Tibet. There are three prayer turning routes in Lhasa, and the small one is around the main hall of the Jokhang Temple, turning the prayer wheel on the corridor clockwise with your hand while reciting the six-character mantra. Once you enter this atmosphere, you will immediately be enveloped by this solemn and sacred feeling.
It is said that the prayer wheel can make a wish to the Buddha, and those who succeed will also come back to make a vow.
"I want to go to the prayer wheel." Qin You said.
Lu Ning was not surprised, but still asked, "Why?" ”
"I think I may have made such a wish in front of the Buddha in my previous life, and I wanted to stay with you for a long time. The wish is sufficient, and of course the wish should be repaid. Qin You said seriously.
It's a very mysterious feeling, and of course there is no scientific basis or theoretical support for it, but that's what he thinks. There was a strong desire to do so.
So the two abandoned their original destination, the Potala Palace, and went to the Jokhang Temple.
There is no limit to the number of times you turn to the Buddha, but it is said that it is best to turn a certain number of circles. This road may not seem long, but it is a test of endurance when it really turns. Lu Ning was able to keep up with Qin You at first, but gradually became too tired to move.
Qin You had no choice but to send people to rest first, and then come back and turn around by himself. His demeanor was very serious, and while chanting "Om Mani Horn Mi Mi Ng", he used his hand to pluck the prayer cylinder. He was full of people in front of him, left and right, and he didn't look anything special standing in it. Reverent and gentle.
How many times Qin You turned, Lu Ning didn't know. As she was resting, she saw a lama standing next to her, standing straight under the sun from beginning to end, motionless, like a sculpture standing there.
The sun in Tibet is warmer than elsewhere, and the white sparkles shine on the ground.
Lu Ning's attention was completely attracted by him, and he always felt that this seemed to be a very Buddha-like behavior. It's a pity that her cultivation is too shallow, her eyesight is not deep, and she still doesn't see anything after looking at it for a long time.
Qin You looked very wolf when she came to pick her up, and her whole body was sweating profusely, as if she had been fished out of the water, and her face was also a little tired. However, when he saw Lu Ning, his heart suddenly calmed down.
Maybe...... Qin You thought, in his previous life, he really made such a wish in front of the Buddha, praying that the Buddha would allow him and Lu Ning an afterlife, right? Now that the wish has been fulfilled and the wish has been repaid, the fluttering heart seems to have settled down.
The two held hands and returned to the hotel to rest. Lu Ning had a slight altitude sickness, but this night, she lay in Qin You's arms, but she slept exceptionally peacefully. When I woke up the next day, the symptoms that had been mild seemed to be gone.
Traveling from Lhasa to Namtso will pass through the Nagenla Pass, which is more than 5,000 meters above sea level. Qin You had been worried that Lu Ning's body would not be able to hold on, but only then was he a little relieved. The car will stop at the Nagenra Pass, and tourists can also get off the bus and visit and see the whole of Namtso from the pass.
Qin You didn't want to get out of the car, but Lu Ning insisted on going and seeing. The wind here was very strong, and when he got out of the car, Qin You held Lu Ning tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that she would be blown away by the wind like this. Standing on the mountain pass, the beautiful holy lake Namco is like a blue treasure mirror inlaid in the sky.
Lu Ning suddenly had a feeling that she was also standing in the sky and was not down-to-earth. My mind was slightly dizzy. Fortunately, Qin Yu supported him.
The two didn't stay for too long, because the mountain pass was windy and the temperature was too low, even if they had kept warm in advance, it was still difficult to bear. Second, although they are not afraid of heights, they are still full of insecurity from that angle. So much so that when they finally returned to the car, the two gave each other a hug, and listened to each other's slightly faster heartbeat before slowly calming down.
The whole Namtso lake is very large, and the Tibetans call it "Tengger Sea". There are five small islands in the lake, and most people spend the night on the islands to enjoy the magnificent sunrise and sunset. Qin You and Lu Ning were naturally no exception, acting together with the team of tourists.
This season is the peak tourist season, and there are a lot of tourists near Namtso Lake, because they can't book a room, so everyone prepares their own tents.
They went to the famous Tashido Peninsula. The island is beautiful, with many caves and pinnacles. In addition, there is Tashi Duo Monastery, with morning bells and dusk drums, solemn and sacred. There are prayer wheels here, too. It is said that the Great Turn is to turn the entire Namtso Lake, and it takes about ten days.
After Qin You heard that it would take so much time and that he had to prepare supplies such as drinking water and dry food in advance, his face was full of obvious regret.
Lu Ning suspected that he was addicted to turning the prayer wheel. Fortunately, Qin You didn't look like he was going to throw himself into the arms of the Buddha, otherwise Lu Ning really couldn't rest assured.
