Chapter 7: The Day Fate Was Changed
Today is the day before the high school entrance examination, Meng Yufei's hands trembled nervously after getting up in the morning, her father had an accident on this day in her previous life, God gave her a chance to start over, and this time she must not let her father have an accident again.
Meng Yufei folded her hands and bowed to the southwest, she worshiped the Buddha who responded to her requests.
In my previous life, I liked to travel alone, and when I traveled in Xishuangbanna, I went to the largest temple in China - Mengxi Great Buddha Temple, of course, this Buddhist temple has not been built yet.
Mengxi is a very rare word, and the tour guide has specially explained these two words: ๅmฤng ๆณlรจ.
Meng Yufei remembers the 45-meter-tall auspicious Buddha that is said to be the tallest in the country, but what impressed her the most was the Erawan Buddha, commonly known as the "Buddha who responds to requests"
The four-faced Buddha has four Buddha faces, representing love, career, health, and wealth, and is in charge of all affairs in the world. The tour guide said that no matter what, you can ask for this Buddha.
It is also easy to make a vow, and visitors from other places can worship in the direction where the Buddha statue is located according to their own position.
Now the Buddhist temple has not been built, of course, there is no Buddha statue, but the tour guide also said that the main location of the Erawan Buddha is in Thailand.
Thailand is directly south of Yunnan, and it is also southwest from the current position of Meng Yufei. Although I feel that worshipping Buddha is a bit superstitious, since I can be reborn, what else is impossible?
As the saying goes: it is better to believe what you have than what you don't. After going through so much, in this life, she doesn't believe it, but rather believes it.
During dinner in the morning, Meng Yufei specially told Meng Huadong: "Dad, you are going to pick me up today, but you must not forget it?" โ
"Don't worry, I can't forget, this kid talked about it last night, hasn't Dad been picking you up these days?" was reminded several times by Meng Yufei, and Meng Huadong was a little helpless.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid you'll forget? I'm going to take the high school entrance exam tomorrow, so I'm almost nervous to talk to you more in the evening? Meng Yufei couldn't say that she was afraid that her father would have an accident today, so she had to find such a reason to be nervous, of course, she was also nervous today, but it was not about the exam.
When I arrived at school, the textbooks had been read almost in the past few days, Meng Yufei was a little bored, the fourth period in the morning was Chinese, the teacher announced that he would leave after self-study, and the discipline was handed over to the class leader and her, the representative of the Chinese class. Meng Yufei has been a representative of the Chinese class since elementary school, because she has been particularly interested in Chinese since she was a child, which may be related to her mother's teaching of Chinese.
Now, she is ready to make good use of her identity as a class representative, walked up to the podium, coughed and attracted the attention of her classmates: "Excuse me, I bought this classmate record last night, and I want to ask everyone to write their names, in order to save time, forget the blessings, just write the name, I hope you will cooperate." โ
As soon as the words fell, Du Yuexin was puzzled: "Yufei, didn't you write all the classmates last month, why do you still have to write it?" โ
Meng Yufei also read the classmate record in the past few days, and on her desk at home, "I don't want you to write it, but I still have classmates who can't name them." Meng Yufei muttered in her heart, and said unhurriedly with an unhurried look on her face: "I accidentally got wet, and some of my classmates' handwriting is not easy to recognize, so I will write it again." โ
After finishing speaking, she got off the stage, starting from the door, put the classmates that her father accompanied her to buy last night on the table of Zhu Pingyu and Yang Chunxue, and did a full set of plays, of course, she wrote them all over regardless of whether she could be called by name or not. Today is the last day of the high school entrance examination, and none of the students asked for leave, so Meng Yufei successfully got the signatures of the whole class.
When the bell rang for the end of class, Meng Yufei and Du Yuexin went to wash their hands and returned to the classroom to prepare for dinner.
"Wow, Yufei, the braised pork you brought today?" As soon as the lunch box was opened, Du Yuexin was about to reach into Meng Yufei's lunch box.
Meng Yufei "snapped" a chopstick and hit the back of Du Yuexin's outstretched hand: "It's enough for you to eat, use chopsticks." โ
"I just washed my hands, and they're clean." Du Yuexin muttered in her mouth, but she was not slow in her hands, she quickly opened her lunch box, took out the upper chopsticks and picked up the braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth, and shouted vaguely that it was delicious.
Meng Yufei looked at Du Yuexin's lunch box, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, picked up a chopstick and put it in her mouth: "Well, it tastes good, I like spicy food, let's eat it instead." He pushed his lunch box towards Du Yuexin.
Du Yuexin pushed her lunch box and Meng Yufei's to the middle: "The braised pork made by your mother is so delicious, I can't eat it all by myself, let's eat it together." As he spoke, he took a bite of the steamed bun.
After eating, Meng Yufei looked at the time, it would take more than an hour to go to class, and at this time, my father should also return to the office after eating, right? Meng Yufei, who couldn't sit still, ran to the off-campus commissary and called her father Meng Huadong's office.
Toot-toot-toot...... The phone rang 6 times before someone answered: "Hey, who's who?" โ
"Dad, I'm Xiaofei, you must come to pick me up tonight." It's her father's voice, Meng Yufei wants to just remind her father again, anyway, she just wants to hear the voice before making the call.
"Thinking about it, I can't forget it, let's go and squint on my stomach, my baby girl has been reminded again and again, how can I forget?" On the other end of the phone, Meng Huadong was almost speechless, and he called just to remind him to pick her up.
"Hehe, tomorrow's high school entrance examination, today is very important to me, Dad, you can't go anywhere at night, you must be at home with me?"
"Well, I'll pick you up tonight and ask your mother to cook something for you, and we'll have dinner together as a family in the evening."
"Dad, it's decided, then I'll hang up."
"Well, let's go back to school."
got her father's assurance, Meng Yufei, who hung up the phone, hummed a song and returned to the classroom, it was still early, Du Yuexin was doing the question, took out a water cup and drank water, Meng Yufei lay on the table and began to daydream.
After evening self-study, Meng Yufei saw her father's figure as soon as she left the school gate, waved at Du Yuexin, ran to her father's side quickly, took her father's arm and hummed a song and walked home.
Meng Huadong saw his daughter's happy appearance and asked, "What good thing happened to Fei Fei, so happy?" Talk to Dad."
"No, just happy"
"Talk to Dad, let Dad be happy and happy"
"I really don't, I'm just happy anyway"
"Really?"
"Really not" Meng Yufei raised a hand and swore that now that his father has not had an accident, he will be optimistic that his father will be fine if he doesn't let him out, Meng Yufei is bouncing all the way, very happy.
When I got home, my mother had already cooked and waited for her with my grandmother, and the meal was very rich, scrambled eggs with cucumbers, stir-fried meat with kidney beans, eggplant with garlic, and her favorite vinegared shredded potatoes and sweet and sour tenderloin, and also made an egg and corn soup soup.
"Mom, did you cook so much delicious food today?" Meng Yufei did not forget to bury her head in hard work when she spoke.
"Your dad called the office at noon and asked me to cook you something delicious in the evening, so that you can take the test tomorrow." Yuan Xiumei sandwiched another piece of meat and put it in her daughter's bowl.
"Yes, there was a party today, and the director said let me go and say hello to him, but I pushed it, and it made him a little unhappy!"
Meng Yufei thought to herself: Dad, you fortunately didn't go to socialize, are you going to go and I won't come back in vain? He lowered his head with a smile and continued to eat.
"Feifei, are your classmates all buying food for tomorrow's exams, or your mother won't make you a bento tomorrow, and you can buy and eat it if you give you money?" Yuan Xiumei knows that the current students feel that they have face in the restaurant, and her daughter will take the exam tomorrow, so she wants her daughter to buy whatever she wants.
"Mom, don't, there may be many parents and students near the examination room of No. 3 Middle School tomorrow, and how can you make delicious food in the restaurant, just make me a vinegared shredded potato tomorrow and bring a steamed bun."
In her previous life, when Meng Yufei was alone, she usually went to the restaurant or bought bread to deal with it, and she couldn't eat her mother's food if she wanted to, and she refused when she heard her mother's proposal without thinking about it.
"Yes, I have been socializing a lot in the unit in the past few years, and the food in the restaurant is really not as delicious as your mother's cooking." Meng Huadong very much agrees with his daughter's opinion, it's not blowing, his daughter-in-law's cooking is so delicious, she can go to the hall and enter the kitchen, and this life is worth it.
"Okay, then mom will make it for you tomorrow, and then I'll make you a sweet and sour tenderloin. Why don't you go to the exam with your mother tomorrow? โ
"Mom, just make a dish, I can't finish eating too much, I have to take the test for three days, you make sweet and sour tenderloin for me the day after tomorrow, our homeroom teacher will follow tomorrow's exam, don't go on such a hot day." Meng Yufei was reluctant to wait outside the examination room.
After eating in the evening, because the family ate too much, Meng Yufei proposed to go to the small park for a walk, and grandma said that there was no nap during the day today, so she didn't go. Meng Yufei held her mother in her left hand and her father in her right hand, walked in the dim light of the park, looked up at the starlight in the sky, and took a long breath: Today is finally over!
