There is an ox cart than people can walk much faster, about three quarters of an hour walk, a group of people arrived at the foot of Tangshan Temple Mountain, there is a carriage and horse shop at the foot of the mountain, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a carriage and horse shop, this place is like an ancient parking lot, some people who come from afar to seek medical treatment are generally driven by horse-drawn carriages, and there are some villagers from ten miles and eight villages on the edge of Qilin Mountain, some drive ox carts, some ride donkeys, after arriving at the foot of the mountain, what can cattle and horses do? The boss of the foot shop in the town saw this business opportunity, chartered a piece of land at the foot of the mountain, and built a grass house to temporarily place these cattle and horses, some of them want to stay in the mountain for a longer time or forget to bring forage, and the car dealer will also help feed a few meals, not to mention, this business can be very hot, the owner of the car shop is also a clever man, made money, and donated some sesame oil money to the temple from time to time, which has both benefited and gained fame. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Aunt Liu and her entourage arrived at the foot of Qilin Mountain, waited for Liu Manquan to store the ox cart, and then walked in together. Tangshan Temple is famous, people come and go at the foot of the mountain, bustling, the branches and leaves of the pine and cypress trees under the mountain are luxuriant, even in winter, it is also a piece of green, the sunlight passes through the gap between the branches, and the mottled shadows are fallen, Ah Miao even saw a few camellias, which bloomed bright red and red, and the petals appeared a little transparent in the sun, and it seemed that the veins of the petals themselves could be seen if they looked carefully.

On both sides of the road under the mountain are some small vendors doing business, because it is not the New Year's Festival, there are not many, sparsely placed, Ah Miao turned his head curiously, a non-falling look, these stalls, selling sesame oil candles the most, occasionally mixed with some selling shortbread, selling sugar gourds, there is actually a clay seller, the stall is not big, the side is full of children, looking intently at the boss sitting in the stall, the ancient craftsman is really ingenious, I saw that the man picked up a ball of white clay, three or two efforts, The prototype of a white rabbit came out, and he carved it on the pinched mud embryo for a while, and a rabbit eating grass appeared in front of Ah Miao's eyes, and a boy about the same size as the little fat man on the side excitedly took a cigarette and ran away, and the stall selling clay people was quickly surrounded, and there was a cheer from inside, but the boss had already begun to pinch the second one.

Ah Miao stared at the stall selling clay figurines for too long, and his eyes were shining, Liu Zhengan thought that Ah Miao also wanted one, so he said: "Mother, you and Uncle Manquan go up the mountain first, I will go over there to buy a clay figurine for Ah Miao and the stone, it won't be long in delay, I will be able to catch up in a while." ”

Ah Miao was about to say that he just wanted to see if he wanted to buy it, the little fat man had already rubbed his eyes and woke up, and just heard that the second uncle was going to buy him a clay figurine for himself, and he immediately woke up, only to see that the little fat man whose eyes were still squinted into a slit suddenly opened his eyes wide, broke free from Aunt Liu, who was originally holding him, and ran towards Liu Zheng'an.

"Mother, I'm with my second uncle." The little fat man took Liu Zhengan's hand and didn't let go, and said to his mother while shaking it. The child is a ghost, and he knows that his grandmother will definitely agree, as long as his mother agrees.

"Then you are not allowed to make trouble with your second uncle, come when you buy a clay figren, you are not allowed to ask for this or that, do you hear?" Juan Niang doesn't want to detain her son and can't do anything, as long as the boy's skin is not too much, if you don't let him do anything, that's not to become a young lady who doesn't go out of the door, Liu Zhengan is the uncle of the little fat man, and he is not an outsider, so he didn't think about objecting, but he just told the little fat man to be obedient and agreed.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, let the stone follow me, and you and your mother will go up the mountain first."

"Nacheng, second child, look at the stones, Ah Miao, come, take Mom's hand, we are going up the mountain." When Miao heard Aunt Liu's call, she immediately obediently took Aunt Liu's hand, and then turned her head and waved her little hand to call her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, come quickly~Come on~"

So, Aunt Liu led Ah Miao, Juan Niang followed behind, Liu Manquan carried his mother on his back, walked through the flat land where the vendors gathered at the bottom of the mountain, and walked to the stone steps of Tangshan Temple. There is a small tea shed at the entrance of the stone steps, it is set up by Tangshan Temple to house tea, this tea is not made with tea leaves, it is a medicinal tea made by Tangshan Temple, there is a licorice in it, there is a trace of sweetness, generally people who go up the mountain will carry a water bladder, fill it with water in the tea shed, you don't need to drink mountain spring water when you are thirsty on the road, especially in winter, this water is generally still hot, put it in the water bladder, drink hot water when you are tired, not to mention how comfortable, so, Aunt Liu They also stopped and filled two water bladders.

"Ah Miao, do you go by yourself or do you carry your mother?" Aunt Liu was worried that her daughter would not be able to walk, so she took Ah Miao's hand and asked.

"Mom, I'll go by myself." Today, along the way, Ah Miao was first carried by Aunt Liu, and then lay on her sister-in-law's back, and then got on the ox cart, in fact, she didn't walk much, and now she is in good spirits, and when she heard Aunt Liu's question, she immediately said.

Hearing Ah Miao say this, Aunt Liu also let Ah Miao walk by herself, now the section up the mountain is still relatively flat, and after the pavilion on the mountainside, Ah Miao will talk if he can't walk.

The elevation of Qilin Mountain is about 700 meters, most of the metasequoias, pines and cypresses grow on the mountain, and there is a tea tree at the foot of the mountain, which is also planted by the monks of Tangshan Temple. Ah Miao followed Aunt Liu all the way up, only to see the metasequoia growing straight in a row, looking up and not even seeing the top of the tree, each pine and cypress tree grows well, the two of them are not enough to hug the tree accounted for five or six out of ten, now it is almost just Chenzheng, that is, around eight o'clock in the morning, the sun has just risen, walking on the stone steps will not be hot at all, but warm, and the sun makes people's hearts feel comfortable for a while.

A Miao had heard of Tangshan Temple from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain there are more than 2,000 steps, but the exact number is no one can give an accurate word, some say more than two thousand, some say almost three thousand, and some say that it is less than two thousand at all, at most one thousand eight nine, this time I came to Tangshan Temple to count it myself, at the beginning of the count is good, counting to the halfway up the mountainside pavilion is one thousand and seventy-eight steps, everyone is tired and out of breath, so they decided to rest in the pavilion, by the way and wait for the little fat man.

"Sister-in-law, then you rest first, I will carry my mother up the mountain first, I heard that the body of the bitter master is not good, and I will not see guests in the afternoon." Liu Manquan saw that Aunt Liu was going to rest and wait for someone, so he was ready to leave first.

Aunt Liu knows the situation of Liu Manquan's family, and also knows that he is a rectum, there is one thing to say, A-Yuan is about to give birth again, he should be anxious, and hurriedly said: "You go first, don't wait for us, we are old and young, it doesn't matter if you slow down, you go first with Tongkun's sister-in-law on your back." ”

Liu Manquan's mother herself is a seven-trick and exquisite, but she didn't expect her son to have no heart at all, even if Jizong's daughter-in-law knew her own situation and didn't care about her son, but what she said was too straightforward. "His sister-in-law, don't be surprised, he is full of tendons, and he has his daughter-in-law in his mind now." said and patted Liu Manquan on the back, "Manquan, you let me down, I'll wait with your sister-in-law, you go up the mountain first." ”

Liu Manquan didn't know why the old lady said this, and he brought her mother here this time to let Master Kuhe take a second look at his mother's illness, so he wanted to say something more.

Liu Manquan's mother seemed to know her son's thoughts, patted him on the head and said, "You let me go quickly." ”

"Oh." Although I don't know why my mother wants to come down, but Liu Manquan is such an honest and even a little wooden, that is, the old lady is listening to the old lady, and the daughter-in-law is listening to the daughter-in-law, as for the old lady and the daughter-in-law have different opinions? Anyway, he hasn't touched it yet.

"Auntie, look at what you said, who is with whom in our two families, don't say it, Man Quan always wants the master to prescribe you some more medicine, you don't care about us, let's go with Man Quan first, let's rest for a while, just wait for my second child." Aunt Liu knew what Liu Manquan and his mother meant, and quickly stopped Liu Manquan's action to let go of his mother, and said to Liu Manquan and his mother sincerely.

"Manquan, don't delay, carry your mother and go quickly, you will be at the top of the mountain in three quarters of an hour!"

"Yes, Grandma Tongkun, you and Uncle Man Quan should go first." Seeing that her mother-in-law gave her a look, Sister-in-law Liu immediately followed suit.

"Mother, this ......" Liu Manquan really didn't know what to do, his mother said to let her go down and go up the mountain first, but Jizong's sister-in-law let herself go up the mountain first with her mother, her forehead was sweating, Ah Miao was so tired that she was panting, she just eased up a little, looking at Liu Manquan and feeling funny, he was really a man who didn't have any heart at all.

"Hey, you said so, I'm not afraid of your jokes, then I'll go up the mountain with Man Quan first, hey, embarrassed!"

"What's so embarrassing, thanks to your ox cart just now, otherwise we'd just have just arrived at the foot of the mountain." Aunt Liu's words are a bit exaggerated, but she really has to thank Liu Manquan's ox cart, otherwise it would not have been so smooth to climb up.

"Then let's go first?!"

"Hey, it's okay, let's go first."

"Man Quan, your sister-in-law is not an outsider, let's go first."

"Sister-in-law, let's go first." Liu Manquan heard the only instruction, and he didn't have to make a choice, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, grinned, and continued to climb up with his mother on his back after saying hello to Aunt Liu.

"Mother, Uncle Man Quan is really interesting." Ah Miao covered her mouth and said to Aunt Liu with a smile.

"Children from all families are not allowed to talk about their elders behind their backs." Aunt Liu sank her face, thought about it again after saying it to Ah Miao, and said: "Your Uncle Man Quan is an excellent person, but he is too backboneless, and he has the final say in everything at home, fortunately, Aunt Tong Kun understands things and gets along well with Ah Yuan, otherwise Ah Yuan is not as comfortable as he is now." Realizing that she had slipped out, Aunt Liu immediately stopped talking.

Aunt Liu didn't mean what she meant, Ah Miao didn't know, but Juan Niang knew. This girl's marriage is like the second reincarnation, the first reincarnation is by God, this second reincarnation has to rely on her mother's family to polish her eyes with herself, like Uncle Manquan, if his mother is not Uncle Tongkun but is unreasonable, then Aunt Ayuan will suffer. There is no backbone in the family, and the family is full of unreasonable mothers-in-law with ideas, where will the daughter-in-law have a good life? Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural opposites, just relying on the line of men to maintain, if the man does not give strength, then the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not easy to say, if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are sensible, then it can barely maintain this good life, if either of the two parties is unreasonable, then this family will never be at peace, the daughter-in-law is already in a weak position, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are on the pair, and the man is not useful, it is difficult to say how many sins the daughter-in-law has to suffer. Therefore, it is really a lucky thing that Uncle Tongkun and Ah Yuan get along, otherwise the mother-in-law, the matchmaker, will be hated.

Aunt Liu obviously knows this, so she sighed just now, but it's not good to say this to Ah Miao, so looking at Ah Miao's appearance of understanding or not, Aunt Liu is a little hesitant to know what to do.

Juan Niang looked at her mother-in-law with a look of not knowing how to explain to Ah Miao, so she hugged Ah Miao and said, "Ah Miao, sister-in-law asks you, if the girl next door quarrels with the stone, which one are you helping?" ”

"Of course it's a stone, and Qian'er doesn't call me aunt." Ah Miao blurted out without thinking about it.

"Then what if the stone likes to play with Qian Yatou and ignores you?"

"The stone won't ignore me, I'm his aunt."

"Then what if he really doesn't play with you anymore, and it's because Qian Yatou says bad things about you?"

"Well, then I'll... I just..."I thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to do, this kind of child saying bad things about the other party and stealing playmates, Ah Miao really didn't know how to deal with it.

"You see, if the stone quarrels with the girl, you will help the stone, and you will quarrel with Uncle Man Quan and Aunt Ayuan, and the uncle will definitely help Uncle Man Quan, right?" Juan Niang continued: "If Aunt Ayuan instigates Uncle Manquan not to honor her uncle, will your uncle be very sad? But if Uncle Man Quan could handle these things well and prevent his uncle from facing off with Aunt Ayuan, wouldn't these things have happened? So, this marriage is like looking for a playmate, you have to be cautious. Originally, these words should not have been said in front of a little girl like Ah Miao, but Juan Niang saw that Aunt Liu didn't stop herself, knowing that her mother-in-law wanted to teach Ah Miao, but she didn't know how to explain to Ah Miao for a while, so she took this errand.

After listening to the sister-in-law's explanation, Ah Miao immediately understood, it turned out that Aunt Liu just said this meaning, in fact, Ah Miao didn't even have a boyfriend in her previous life, otherwise these things can always be experienced, and now when she heard her sister-in-law, Ah Miao immediately drew inferences, "So Aunt Manwen often quarrels with Daqing's sister-in-law, and Brother Daqing only knows how to hide every time." ”

"You girl, goblin, don't say that in the future." Although she was beaten by Aunt Liu again, Ah Miao knew that she was right, and Brother Daqing had come to Ah Miao's house many times.

Juan Niang also looked at Ah Miao and smiled, glad that she didn't see the wrong person, marrying the Liu family may not have married to the town Buzhuang to look decent, but the Liu family is not bad, and since she got married, her husband loves her, her in-laws like it, and the younger brothers and sisters at the bottom are also respectful to herself, and her son is also smart, although she did not divide the family, but her mother-in-law did not hold on to all the money in the family, Xingzi took home the money her mother-in-law only took half, and the other half let herself keep it, and she never inquired about the money she earned from selling embroidery. At least this point in the town cloth dealer can not compare, the last time I went back to my mother's house I heard that his little daughter-in-law wanted to leave, this cloth village boss is shameless, actually took the daughter-in-law back to her mother's house to touch the younger son's room to turn over the daughter-in-law's pressure box money, his little daughter-in-law is not easy to mess with, found that the mother-in-law did this shameless thing, immediately ran back to her mother's house, and now the two are still messing around.

Juan Niang thought about it while looking at Ah Miao and smiling, and then heard her son's cry: "Mom, Mom~" Juan Niang stood up with a smile.
