Silly Zhu followed behind slowly, looking at the woman jumping in front of him, and the doubts in his eyes became heavier. Although the Dong family is also half a scholarly family, her little daughter-in-law was treated slowly by her stepmother, working hard in the mountains all day long, and growing up with difficulty. This spring scenery is not boring to watch, at least it will not be happy and surprised, like everyone who has been locked up in the deep house all day?

Dong Rong didn't know that she had already revealed her flaws, but turned around happily and greeted loudly, "Zhuzi, let's hurry up." If you go late, I'm afraid you won't be able to occupy a good position. ”

Silly Zhu quickly collected the suspicion in his eyes, and chased after him with a smile on his face.

On the eighth day of the fourth month, according to legend, it is the day of the birth of Shakyamuni Buddha, and temples of all sizes should bathe the Buddha in the golden body to show reverence. God was afraid that the Buddha would catch a cold when he bathed, and this day reminded the sun to work hard, so just in the middle of the morning, the sky was so hot that it was past noon.

Those good men and women inside and outside Qingxian who want to go out to join in the fun or make wishes, seeing that the sun is so hot, have changed into cooler clothes, and then hurried to Qianren Mountain, not far from the north of the city, where there is the largest temple within a radius of 100 miles - the Great Bodhi Temple.

The Great Bodhi Temple was built 200 years ago during the period of Emperor Wen, according to legend, it was a prince who saw through the red dust and shaved his ordination here, and the emperor specially gave a huge amount of money to build it. The temple is divided into five entrances, the extremely grand and majestic repair, only the steps in front of the temple are divided into seven layers, each layer is 7749 steps, there are more than 300 steps from top to bottom in total. And in the past hundred years, all the good men and women who came here to sincerely ask for the blessing of the Buddha have also been proud to climb up alone.

Today coincides with such a grand event, and in the open space under the mountain in front of the temple, countless small businessmen have gathered early, carrying baskets to sell incense and candle tributes, selling wood carving knick-knacks, shouting all kinds of snacks, and even fans and hats are sold. In a word, there is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy.

Seeing that the sun has climbed to the top of the east mountain three feet high, the hawkers have already occupied a good position to open one after another, and the good men and women who want to climb the ladder have also stood under the steps, just waiting for the three bells in the Great Bodhi Temple to ring, the temple door is wide open, you can climb the stairs and enter the temple to worship the Buddha sincerely.

Dong Rong and Silly Zhu were delayed for more than half an hour because they rushed to the small courtyard to prepare ice cubes, and when they hurried to the foot of Qianren Mountain, all the good positions had been occupied, and only some dead corners that few people patronized and walked around were still empty. If you really put the stall there, I am afraid that it will not be a deal if you stand for nothing.

Dong Rong walked around with a basket on her shoulder, but she still didn't find a good position, so she thought about finding another way.

She held the shoulders of the stupid pillar and climbed onto the trolley with the iron box, just when she was looking around with her hands on the pergola, but she didn't want the bell in the Great Bodhi Temple to ring suddenly. The good men and women who were waiting at the bottom of the mountain began to climb up on foot with a bang. Dong Rong was startled, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind.

She stretched out her hand to the empty space in the middle of the stairs and said joyfully, "Pillar, do you think we can move the box over there and sell it?" Everyone must be tired and hot when they climb halfway, and they will buy a bowl to quench their thirst when they see an ice bowl! ”

Silly Zhu wrapped his arms around his daughter-in-law and protected him in his arms, and replied casually, "Okay." ”

Dong Rong didn't expect him to have any good ideas, so he jumped out of the car and found an extremely kind-looking old man nearby, begging the old man to help take care of the wheelbarrow.

The peasant family is simple, not to mention that it is not a big deal, but it is just a few more glances. The old man happily agreed, and Dong Rong naturally thanked him again and again. In the end, he took the stupid pillar to untie the rope neatly, and carried the heavy iron box through the crowd to climb up the mountain.

The mountain road is already steep, and the stone steps have become uneven after years of wind and rain, making it even more difficult to walk. The two of them only climbed dozens of steps, and Dong Rong was so tired that her face was red and she was out of breath. Silly Zhu saw the beads of sweat on her forehead dripping down and smashing on the stone steps, as if he could hear the sound of crackling and crackling, for some reason his heart suddenly softened for a moment, and blurted out, "Let's rest for a while." ”

Dong Rong was also annoyed that her small body was too thin and weak, but when she heard this, she gasped a few times, shook her head and refused, "I can't rest, I can't climb anymore as soon as I stop." We have to be faster than everyone else, otherwise who will the ice bowl be sold to? After speaking, she thought that the stupid pillar was also tired, so she smiled and coaxed him, "Zhuzi work harder, if this business is successful, we will be able to live a good life in the future, and I will buy meat buns for you to eat every day, okay?" Come on, let's do it! ”

Silly Zhu didn't understand what it meant to come on, he was just surprised by the difference of the woman in front of him. Over the years, he has also used the excuse of going up the mountain to collect medicine many times, and then going out with his husband, not to mention the sad and sad singers, the charming and lovely Oiran, and even the ladies of large families have seen three or five. These women are all as delicate as flowers, and they need to be carefully cared for at all times, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to survive.

And the woman in front of her is like a weed, looking weak, but in fact tenacious, as if as long as she wants to do something, even if it is difficult to reach the sky, she will definitely find a way to complete it, and will never compromise and retreat. This rarity gave birth to three points of admiration and seven points of pity in his heart...

After only stopping for a few breaths, Dong Rong felt that her wrist was so sore, and she was just about to urge the stupid pillar to climb up quickly, not wanting to suddenly feel empty in her hands.
