Chapter Eighty-Six: Apology
Wu Fen washed her hands, found a small stool to sit opposite her grandmother, picked up a few dumpling leaves and wrapped them, "It's almost the Midyear Festival, is it here to worship ancestors this year?" ”
Cheng Liu is worried about his wife, and he has been out for more than half a year, and I don't know if the old man eats water and cold noodles every day at home, and does he drink boiling water overnight? "When the time comes, the business will be stopped, everyone will go back, and this year it will be my turn to eat. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
There are still four days before the Midyear Festival, and the business on my side is fine, and it can be opened again later, but the second aunt's powder stall has just been done, and even the source of customers is unstable, so the stall will not be opened, will it not be very good. Thinking so, Wu Fen also said her thoughts, "I don't know how the second aunt arranged it?" ”
Cheng Liu is not worried about this problem, the second daughter has always had no idea, and she will listen to whatever the adults say. "What can she arrange, it's not up to me."
Grandma is so domineering, Wu Fen said secretly in her heart. While wrapping zongzi, the two of them mentioned that Dr. Liao from the beginning was here, "Grandma, that Dr. Liao has so many children in his family, why does he still want to remarry?" "This person has been single for many years, and he didn't have the intention of marrying another child when he was young, why is it that now that the children are so old, he still has to ask someone to be a matchmaker in a big way.
"Who knows what he thinks. Look at the people in the mine, who doesn't dislike Dr. Liao's bad luck, it doesn't matter if they are not good-looking, but they still have a strange temperament. That is to say, your father has no eyes, is honest and kind, and can cooperate with Dr. Liao to treat leg diseases for so many years. Just now he was dangling in the doorway, and I just didn't see it. I'm not like your mother, I can't be sure if it's a good guy or a bad guy. Although Cheng Liu lamented that her daughter's life was not good, and she also wanted her daughter to find someone else, this did not mean that she could accept a son-in-law like Dr. Liao.
It seems that not only I think so, but even my grandmother sees it this way, which shows that Dr. Liao does have a problem. Since he is so compatible with his father, and he also dragged the voucher of the two of them to go to other places to consume, and used this as a basis to ask his mother to repay his debts, it means that he has someone behind him, otherwise why would he dare to take that money as a doctor. There is also Zuo Fan's reminder last time. The person who looked like himself appeared in front of the warehouse when Uncle Minghua moved the goods. Could that "he" also have something to do with Dr. Liao?
Wu Fen carefully analyzed the ins and outs of the whole matter, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Dr. Liao might be Mayor Huang's doglegs. It's just that I didn't meet Huang Youwei last time, and now that I have left Wu Jiachong, it is really not easy to meet this person behind the scenes.
"What are you thinking? The dragon host came to the house to make a fate. Cheng Liu got up with a smile on his face. Touched his granddaughter's arm. "I didn't expect you to come down the mountain in person. Please come inside. Cheng Liu politely greeted the person, and seeing that his granddaughter was still in a daze, he hurriedly pushed over a bowl of wrapped zongzi. Put this in the steamer and pour a cup of well water for the dragon host. ”
Wu Fen was still stunned, only to hear a loud voice: "The donor is too polite, I came here today to apologize to the little donor." ”
When I looked over, I saw a bald monk wearing a monk's robe, staring at him kindly, apologizing to me? She was trying to find Longfu Temple to ask for an explanation, a monk in a temple is not good at worshipping gods and Buddhas, and he wants to meddle in other things, and he also follows the gang of people to slander himself.
Cheng Liu reacted instantly, and just saw the two daughters coming back from outside, so he snatched the things from Wu Fen's hand, "Then I'll go, Fenfen, you accompany the dragon to sit down first." ”
As soon as she entered the kitchen, Cheng Liu's face fell, and she wanted to hear what this old monk meant. Put the zongzi in a large steamer and steam, and after a cup of well water, Cheng Liu turned back to the living room, "There is no tea at home, but fortunately, the well water is sweet, and it is the best to quench your thirst." ”
Then, Cheng Liu pulled his two daughters, and the family sat opposite the dragon host, looking at him with blazing eyes, waiting for his explanation.
The dragon presided over his scalp tingling, brewed his emotions for a while, and said the words of the second uncle when he went down the mountain. "In this incident, Longfuji Temple is suspected of providing false testimony, which makes the little benefactor suffer. It's just that there is a reason for it, because the ancestor passed away, the second ancestor retreated, and I went out again, so the little monk who was guarding the temple did not know the truth, and when he saw the police to ask, he lightly concluded that the little donor had never come to my temple. This is an oversight in our management, and we have now handed over the monk to the police. ”
When Wu Fen heard this, she glanced at the family next to her, and believed the words on the table in her heart. After all, this matter was deliberately planned by someone, so it was not difficult for them to buy the monks in the temple.
"How did it come by chance? I only came back from your temple on the first day of the accident, and on the big day of your ancestor's death, the dragon presided over the relevant matters in the temple, but went out to do business, which is unreasonable. Even if you go out, when the police come to ask for testimony, it is impossible to ask only one monk, so why do the monks have a clear attitude, but in the end they only deal with a small monk who is a janitor? It's one thing to know in her heart, it's another thing to forgive them, she wants to see if the dragon host will spit out the truth.
"This ......" Host Long didn't expect Wu Fen to be so sharp and sharp-tongued, and guessed all these things thoroughly, it seems that the second master and himself have underestimated her, how can the people who can worship under Liu's predecessors be simple-minded people, and now they can't perfunctory the past.
Taking out a small box from the monk's bag, the dragon presided over the face and said with an embarrassed face: "The little benefactor is so transparent, and the matter of the death of the master must have been guessed." Although it is inconvenient for Lao Ne to reveal the truth, I can guarantee that apart from the little monk, no other monk has been involved in perjury. As for the cause of the incident, the little donor is thoughtful, and he should know that it was deliberately done by others. ”
If this old monk doesn't force him himself, how can he tell the truth, it seems that the little monk can only be the one who slanders himself. After getting the answer he wanted, Wu Fen also eased his expression and pointed to the box, "This is for me?" ”
"It's as an apology for the matter. This Buddha water lily is one of the treasures of our temple, it can heal heart palpitations, and the second ancestor specially instructed Lao Ne to hand it over to the donor. ”
It's said to be a heavy treasure. How dare Wu Fen accept it with peace of mind, besides, no one in the family has heart palpitations, and he can't use it. "I accept the apology, this apology is still over."
"Yes, Fenfen's matter this time is also over, and it didn't let those bad guys succeed. Since Longfu Temple has handed over the little monk who gave false testimony, we will not dwell on this matter. In fact, when Cheng Liu's granddaughter had an accident, he heard that there were monks involved in Longfu Temple, and he hated Longfu Temple at that time.
It's just that the granddaughter didn't enter the Public Security Bureau later. but was taken captive for three days. Although he was tortured, he did not suffer any fatal injuries to his body, which can be regarded as a blessing.
And lawyer Zuo also said that the granddaughter's matter was obviously paid for. Yang Songping made a game. Wu Minghua is the introduction. I just want Fen Fen to have a stain on her body that can't be washed off.
Hearing what the host said just now, Cheng Liu also believed that it was impossible for the monks to speak, and it must have been done by those bad people who coerced the little monk. Therefore, Cheng Liu's previous hatred was gone, and her face returned to a friendly one: "Xiaolan, are you right?" ”
Cheng Xiaolan didn't think as deeply as her mother, she just felt that the little monk in Longfu Temple had said bad things about her daughter and made her suffer, if it weren't for Lawyer Zuo's help, maybe someone would have entered the children's detention center.
Therefore, when she faced the dragon host, her attitude was obviously a little worse: "It is not right for outsiders to participate in mundane things, and now we are doing this mundane ceremony, wouldn't it make us embarrassed." ”
Wu Fen saw that her grandmother and her mother had different attitudes, and knew that her grandmother had figured it out, but her mother refused to let go because she felt sorry for her experience.
It's just that in this way, the dragon host is a little embarrassed, but this is also a moment, and then he returns to his previous kindness, "Master Cheng is right, it's just that the apology is what the little donor needs in the future." I believe that fate is predestined, and this Buddha water lily will bring great opportunities to the benefactor. ”
As soon as the words fell, the dragon presided over the house, took the rice noodles from the fate, and said goodbye and walked out of the house.
When the family turned back to the living room, Cheng Xiaolan was worried, only to see that she wanted to speak and stopped, but Wu Fen grabbed the conversation: "Mom, in fact, in my opinion, Longfu Temple has not participated in this matter at all. If you think about it, since someone is doing the trick, and the police who arrested me are all fake, then the false testimony of Longfu Temple may also be fake, no matter what, the temple has pushed a little monk out, and we have to believe that this is the truth. Otherwise, for us who have no power and powerless, we don't even know who the bad guys are, so we go to duel with the people behind the scenes? ”
"Yes, since the Dragon Host insists that you accept this gift, you can accept it for the time being. On the first and fifteenth days of the new year, I will take your mother and Xiaoyang to Longfu Temple to burn a few more pillars of incense. "Cheng Liu just wants the family to live together peacefully and beautifully.
Cheng Xiaolan was also relieved by this persuasion, as if she remembered something, and said: "Liu Liuzi called next door at noon, saying that he would come over in a few days. ”
He went to other places and came back, did Liu Qianduo have news? Wu Fen wasn't sure, but she didn't think much about it, so she took the box back upstairs and locked it up with Hua Po's box. Then I watched TV in the room and played cards with my brother and little cousin.
The three of them were sweating, and when it was time to eat in the evening, Wu Fen drove the two younger brothers to the bathroom, helped them get dressed, and let them roll on the bed. Then he took a change of clothes, and also went into the bathroom to take a shower, and when he came out, Wu Fen saw the aunt sitting on the edge of the bed silently.
"What's wrong?" Wiping her hair, Wu Fen sat down on the side.
Cheng Xiaoyang's eyes were red, looking at his niece's concerned eyes, and he didn't know how to tell her about it. "Daddy is here, down there. He ......"
"What's wrong with Grandpa?" This time it was Wu Fen's turn to be anxious, and he didn't even care about the water in his hair, threw the towel to the side, and grabbed his aunt's arm, "Did he have an accident?" ”
Cheng Xiaoyang couldn't cry, and hung his head in a low mood, "Recently, our family has been too unhappy. Dad is fine, but something happened to my uncle's family. ”
Speaking of this uncle, Wu Fen only had a little impression, she couldn't even remember his appearance, so when she heard the news of his accident, although she was a little sad, she was not as sad as her aunt.
"What happened to my uncle's family? Does it have anything to do with the gang that got the gas poisoning last time? "It must have something to do with my grandfather, otherwise he would have some grudges against a barefoot doctor.
Downstairs, the grandmother screamed loudly to eat, Cheng Xiaoyang could only stop the topic, but those eyes kept shedding tears, which made Wu Fen's heart sink as she watched it, could it be that there was something else she didn't know?
"Grandpa!" As soon as she arrived in the living room downstairs, Wu Fen saw the outsider who had lost a lot of weight sitting in the middle of the sofa.
Cheng Shunan nodded lightly, took a dry cigarette in his hand and smoked, accompanied by his second uncle and younger uncle.
Wu Fen said hello to the two uncles and went into the kitchen to serve food. There were a lot of people at night, and my grandmother, mother, and second aunt were all making sauce board duck in the kitchen, "Why did you get so many dishes?" Wu Fen glanced at the board, there were two duck dishes, six meat dishes, and three side dishes.
"Your grandfather has a bad mouth, and he likes to eat sauce board duck and dry pot roast duck." Cheng Liu smiled at the corner of his eyes, his wife is here, and the family is reunited, but the apprentice's matter is sad.
After bringing the dishes to the table one by one, the family closed the door, opened the ceiling fan, and sat together.
Cheng Shunan took the lead in moving the chopsticks and tasted the signature dish first, "Well, the meat quality is good, the heat is okay, but the taste is a little lacking." ”
Cheng Xiaolan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "Is it because the time for the marinade is not enough, and it is not fully flavored?" ”
"Probably not, you probably only smeared honey once, while roasting." Cheng Shunan guessed that her daughter was reluctant to honey, so she simplified the procedure.
Unexpectedly, my father's eyes saw it at once, Cheng Xiaolan nodded her head, "Real wild honey is more expensive, so I only wiped it once." ”
"That's not going to work, you've got to follow Fenfen's recipe. You can make a careful budget, but you can't save raw materials. Cheng Liu also took a chopstick and tasted it, feeling that the meat was crispy and fluffy, but the taste was worse than yesterday's.
"Yes, I'll pay attention to it later." Cheng Xiaolan grabbed her son's little hand while pulling the bowl up.
Cheng Xiaoyang's eyes were red, seeing that his father and mother were dodging and not mentioning the affairs of his junior brother, and he didn't have the heart to taste the dishes, he put the dishes and chopsticks down, and his voice was slightly sharp and aggrieved: "Dad, don't you care about your junior brother?" He's your only apprentice, and now he's been arrested by those guys because of your old things, and I don't know what happened. She grew up with her junior brother since childhood, the two are the same age, and they take care of each other like sisters and brothers, so when they heard that she had an accident, she was the first to lose her mind.
Cheng Shunan remained silent, and pointed outside with chopsticks, which made the people in the room stunned, and they all looked out of the window, and then retracted their gaze, pretending to talk about some old things lightly, and finished the meal tremblingly. (To be continued.) )
