Verse 17: Pray for peace in front of the statue of Guanyin, and the bell rings with joy
"Sister Fang, I've been here for a while, I don't know if you're familiar with the surrounding environment?"
"I live in three lines, where do I know? Why does my sister want to go out and have fun? ”
"Yes, I rent out a house every day, the old place, and life is not interesting at all?"
"I think so, but I have nowhere to go, so I have to stay at home, otherwise where else can I go?"
"Why don't I ask Sister Xiao Du, she is well-informed!" Saying that, she jumped up and ran to ask Sister Du. Then he ran to me cheerfully. "Sister, why don't we go to the mountains tomorrow to have fun? I heard that there is a Guanyin temple on the mountain, which is very effective! ”
"What mountain? Far from it? ”
"What is it called Guanyin Mountain, Sister Du said that it is not far from here, and you can take the No. 16 bus to the end station. I looked at the schedule, and it just so happened that we both had a break tomorrow! Sister Du originally wanted to add with us, but she has to go to work tomorrow. What a pity! ”
"Alright then, then we'll go for a walk in the mountains tomorrow." I also want to go to Guanyin to pray for Sister Feifei's safety, and I hope she can come to me as soon as possible.
"Wow, that's great! Sister Fang is so nice! I love you to death! Then let's go buy some snacks after work and get ready to eat in the mountains! "I can't wait to leave right away.
After getting off work, Yiyi couldn't wait to pull me to the supermarket, and we each picked up a shopping basket and went shopping.
"Sister Fang, suck that anything on the mountain is more expensive than below, let's buy more and go back!"
"yes, okay." I walked straight to the shelves of instant noodles.
"Isn't it, sister, do you want noodles to go up the mountain?" She saw me walk over to me and grabbed me.
"Isn't it possible?"
"Sister, I'll still call you sister, you buy instant noodles and go up the mountain, where can you get water, can we eat it?"
"I'll take it home and eat it at night when I'm hungry!" My face was flushed. To be honest, I haven't really traveled, and I don't know what to bring. I had to find this excuse to prevaricate in the past.
"Alright then, I'll go with you." She took my arm and walked over together. I saw that ten packs of instant noodles only sold for 15 yuan, so I took two large packs. "Isn't it, Fangfang, how long are you going to eat here?" I want to laugh when I see her mouth wide open.
"Can't you? It's cheap, and I can eat it when I'm not working! ”
"I have to admire you, you are so good at living! I don't know which blessed brother-in-law can marry you! ”
"If you say anything more, I'll ignore you!"
"Okay, aside, do you want to buy something?"
"That's enough, I'll go buy some biscuits, and some mineral water by the way."
"I'm really convinced of you, I'll choose!" Pull me and go. She bought two packs of bread, two bottles of scream, two bottles of beer, two packs of ham sausages, and a few other things I hadn't eaten. I went to the front desk to check out the bill, and saw a total of 200 yuan.
"So much, can you eat alone? It's better to buy less! ”
"Who said I ate alone? Isn't there still you? People live a lifetime when they have to eat, they have to eat, they have to wear, don't wait until they are about to be closed to regret it. As he spoke, he took my two bags of noodles and settled the bill together. Later, I asked her to give her money, but she said that if she did it again, she would not blame my sister for not recognizing me as a sister. No way. To be rich is to be capricious!
Yiyi ran to my room at night and said that she wanted to sleep with me, and she said that we could imagine tomorrow together, and there was really nothing she could do. But with her on board, I'm back to the happy days when Fei Fei was there. We talked until 4 a.m. that night. She woke me up early the next morning. We simply freshened up and set off with our bags on our backs.
"Fangfang, you see that there are a lot of people going up the mountain today, I don't know what day it is?"
"How do I know? You can take a look at your phone! ”
"Oh, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, no wonder there are so many people." She glanced at her phone and told me.
"It's still called a lot, don't you know, there are more people on Guanyin's birthday? Do the two girls want to give birth to a few pillars of incense, the Guanyin Niangniang on the mountain is very effective. Responsive! "At this time, the aunt who was buying spices on the side of the road brought incense to us.
"What we don't need, is sincerity spiritual? Why do we need any of this? ”
"This girl, you can't say that! Is the so-called people fighting for a breath, and Buddha fighting for a pillar of incense? Don't you have to get something when you ask someone to do something? The same is true of the Buddha! After you put on incense, the Buddha will protect you even more. ”
"Well, how much?" Yiyi also waited for me to speak before taking over the topic
"Hey, this girl is still sensible, Guanyin Niangniang will definitely be able to let you find a wishful husband this year, everything is good!"
"Thank you Jiyan, you say, how did you sell this incense?" Fei Fei looked a little annoyed.
"This is peace incense, 38 yuan a column; This is fortune incense, 58 yuan; This is Qiu Zixiang, 88 yuan; This is all the best, 108 yuan ......" She wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Fei Fei.
"That's it, all the best!" As he spoke, he was about to take his wallet from his handbag.
"Girl, don't worry? It's useless to buy incense, you have to buy candles. ”
"Why?" Fei Fei looked very unhappy.
"Oh, I'm not forced to buy and sell, it's up to you whether you buy it or not! Don't be angry! It is said that when you light a candle before offering incense, this is to light the eyes of the Buddha, so that the Buddha can see you and listen to your wishes! I don't want you to spend your money in vain, so I'm kind enough to remind you! ”
"Oh, that's right, how much is that together!"
"That's a total of 168 yuan! It would have cost 218 yuan. I will give you a discount if you are good. ”
"Well, thank you!" Fei Fei took out her wallet from her handbag and paid for it. I really don't know where she got all that money.
"Guanyin Niangniang will definitely bless your whole family with good health and all the best!" The woman didn't forget to add a word as we left.
Later, on the way up the mountain, we also met many incense sellers, and after asking, we learned that we were caught! The most expensive one sells for 108 yuan. We were so angry that our noses smoked. Then they said that they would come down together to find the woman.
We finally reached the top of the mountain and came to the statue of Guanyin. We lit candles and put incense on them. Bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva. I hope we go well in the future, and I hope Fifian is well. Just as I was about to stand up, my phone rang! At first glance, it was Sister Fei Fei who called.
"Is it my sister?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the line.
"I am, sister, where are you now, how are you doing?" I couldn't contain the joy in my heart.
"I'm going to the train station soon? I guess I'll be there in the afternoon, and I've brought you a lot of good food. Sister, have you thought about it? I'm going to kill you! ”
"Is it true? Then I'll pick you up. ”
"Well, don't come too early, you have to arrive at seven o'clock in the evening? Do you go to work today? ”
"Today I rest, Sister Yiyi and I ask for peace in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva! I didn't expect this Guanyin Bodhisattva to be really effective! ”
"Who is Yiyi? Why don't I know it! ”
"She's our new colleague, I'll tell you when I get back!"
"Uh-huh, okay!" At this time, Fei Fei made a gesture to me, meaning that we would go and pick her up together.
"Sister, Sister Yiyi said that we will pick you up together!"
"Oh, is it? I'm so happy! I won't talk to you much in the car now, see you in the evening! ”
"Okay, see you in the evening!" With that, we hung up.
"Fangfang, it seems that our money has not been spent in vain! Your wish has been fulfilled! ”
"Mm-hmm, your wish will definitely come true."
"Thank you, sister, for your good words."
After a lap around the mountain, we went down to the mountain early. At this time, I was in a very good mood, and we were giggling and laughing along the way. After descending the mountain, we took a taxi and drove quickly towards the train station.
The train station was crowded, and we waited at the exit for my sister's arrival. The clock points to 6:50. In ten minutes I could finally see my sister, and I was so happy that I couldn't put it into words.
"Fangfang, I'm back!" I didn't expect Sister Feifei's sharp eyes to see me first.
"Sister, you're finally back!" I ran up to hug my sister, but she refused my hug.
"How old are you, still hugging, haven't you seen each other for two months? You're fat, and my sister can't hold it! "I found my sister standing a meter away from me and stopped me with a gesture.
"Isn't it? I'm going to hug it! ”
"I can't imagine that Fangfang still hasn't grown up!" Fei Fei, who had been standing next to her and had not spoken, spoke!
"Presumably this is Yiyi!"
"Well, yes, hello!" He said that he reached over to carry his sister's luggage. I also went up to get one, and the three of us walked out of the station square together.
We flagged down a taxi, my sister sat in the front seat, and Sister Yiyi and I sat in the back. Originally, Yiyi's sister wanted to sit in the front row, and she didn't want to be preempted by her sister. I saw that I put on the mask, and then sat in the front row without saying a word, looking at the scenery outside. I thought it was because my sister was tired and didn't want to talk, so I didn't ask too many other questions. Yiyi and her sister are not familiar with each other and don't know what to say, so when they see that we don't speak, they just talk! I saw in the rearview mirror that my sister was in tears all the time, and she kept wiping her tears with a tissue.
After getting off the bus, my sister said that she wanted to invite us to dinner, and we didn't postpone it. My sister took us to a 5 star hotel called Intercontinental.
"Sister, aren't you going to bring us here for dinner?"
"Can't you? Today I'm going to take you to a Western meal. You haven't eaten Western food yet, have you? I'm going to give you a taste of something new today! ”
"Isn't it!" Yiyi and I said in unison.
"Can't you? We women cannot treat ourselves badly, for today there is wine and tomorrow there is no wine...... There is no tomorrow, and today we will not get drunk and do not return. "What's wrong with my sister today? Why are you always so sad? I am faintly grateful for the uneasiness!
"Let's go, what are you doing here?" As she spoke, she walked inside. We can't, so we just go in.
We found a place and sat down. As soon as we sat down, the waiter poured us three glasses of warm water and placed them in front of us.
"Will the three of you eat buffet or zero?"
"We'll help you with zero, I'll help you order!" We nodded in agreement. To be honest, we have never eaten Western food and don't know what to eat? "We want three Angelis steaks, fully cooked with black pepper sauce, three national garden salads, and three spaghetti. By the way, I want another bottle of Lafite. Well, that's all! ”
"Okay, wait a minute!" The waiter always kept smiling. The way she smiled was beautiful.
This time we had a lot of jokes about Western food, and we got slightly drunk before going back. My sister asked Fei Fei to go back to her rental house first because she wanted to talk to me alone. What does my sister want to talk to me about? Listen to the next breakdown.
