Chapter 111: Chinese New Year (4)
Light smile and light feather are completely ignorant of burning incense and worshiping Buddha, and they usually don't believe in gods in the world, nor do they go to temples, nor do they learn these things that are useless to themselves. But thinking that he also has a business in hand now, since he came to the God of Wealth Temple today, he has to go in and worship anyway. Whether you believe it or not, this God of Wealth has a lofty identity and status in the hearts of businessmen.
Besides, Xiaoxiao was reborn, although he didn't understand why he would live another life, but he also knew that there were many puzzles in this world that science couldn't explain, so since he came here today, my grandmother still had to go in to worship, and I specially asked if I wanted to follow. Although grandma's words are not to ask for a light smile, she will not kindly bring a light smile in, but in short, it is better to have someone lead than to blindly go in and worship indiscriminately!
After discussing with her sister Asaba's mother Lin Mier, she decided that the two sisters would go in on behalf of the family. In fact, Lin Mier also wanted to accompany the sisters in, but seeing that the brothers and sisters in the family basically refused, Lin Mier gave up the idea of companionship. Besides, she also knows that her mother is not interested in these, but now that the family has a business and wants to be safe. This is the idea, the same is true for sending representatives, and besides, the business is originally run by Qianxiao and Qianyu, and it is not more sincere to go in by yourself. The uncles didn't go, and when the mother went in again, she had to cause trouble, and Lin Mi'er also stopped thinking about it.
This worship is unbelievable to the eldest uncle Lin Jianhua, not to mention that he is still a soldier, so he will not approach such an absurd practice, but as a human being, the children will not object to some trivial things of the elders in the family, so they stayed outside and did not go in. One said that if he didn't go, someone would answer immediately, and in the end, only Wang Lianmei and Sister Xiaoxiao and Sister Qianyu were going to burn incense and worship Buddha.
At one of the stalls at the entrance of the temple, I asked for the incense candles to be used inside, bought the corresponding incense candles, and followed Wang Lianmei in. Then learn to carry out a series of steps such as burning incense, lighting candles, placing petitions, prostrating and offering incense, and prostrating again. There are subtle differences in front of each Buddha statue, probably different etiquette for different bodhisattvas, anyway, the two of them don't understand, Wang Lianmei can't teach them, and Qianxiao and Qianyu can only look at the side, and there is no uninteresting questioning. Besides, they also know that even if they ask, it is useless to ask. Grandma doesn't tell and point, it's better to watch directly with her own eyes. Take a look at Wang Lianmei's movements before and after, and compare the differences between the two. Learn from the same, draw the gourd in the same way.
In the crowded and noisy temple, light smile is to meet someone who really doesn't understand, and I can't say the question if I want to ask the people on the side. Because when people speak, they either talk close to their ears or they roar. None of this is in line with the idea of light laughter. Therefore, if you don't understand something, you will give up and comfort yourself with sincerity. I am also a mind today. It happened suddenly, and it was too late to learn, and the Bodhisattva would not blame him if he wanted to come, and he knew that he was a new hand. I don't know how to worship correctly, and some small mistakes can be forgiven. Wait until next time, I will definitely do some general etiquette to be sincere again. A trance. was separated from Wang Lianmei by the crowd, but fortunately, the place is so big. There are only two entrances and exits, so I don't have to worry about getting lost. In addition, Qianxiao and Qianyu did not break up, they were still together, so they were reassured by each other.
After separation, Qianxiao and Qianyu have no way to refer to Wang Lianmei, and they can't learn from others, because you don't know how others have reached that step, so you have to honestly and peacefully follow your own way to simply light candles, petition, bow, incense, and bow again to finish a circle of Bodhisattva worship. When the last three sticks of incense were carefully inserted into the furnace to avoid the incense that others were burning, Light Smile and Light Feather glanced at each other, exhaled a breath of turbidity, smiled with relief, and began to squeeze in the direction of the door. Suddenly, a sharp and shrill voice was heard shouting: "Fire! Fire! Ouch, my head is feverish. ”
Such a sound and such a sudden thing could not have happened in normal times, and when the hall fell silent, it was as if it had been frozen by the camera, and everyone looked at the woman whose hair was burned by the candle flame. Didn't make a sound, didn't come forward to help. I saw that the long hair was half burned by the flames at once, and there was a tendency to spread like clothes, and it only took a few seconds for everyone to react back and messily move to help.
This is obviously to help people extinguish fires, but it looks like a scuffle with a light smile, and a group of people beat up a person. They took the woman Barak without an image, but the fire was not extinguished and still burning.
Fortunately, a clever and unbearable person finally made a move, and he didn't know where to take out a large pair of scissors and cut off the woman's hair in one fell swoop. The hair with the flames was falling to the ground and was extinguished with a foot of someone. He also said: "Prosperous, you will definitely make a fortune this year!" ”
The woman whose hair was burned by the fire is not good for an attack in such an environment, and besides, those people just now were all under the banner of putting out the fire for themselves, and it was she who made a fuss and was embarrassed, and then the words of the person just now said: "Red and red, red and red, borrow your auspicious words!" ”
Although the words are beautiful, there is no wave in the dryness, but fortunately, the person who really extinguishes the fire doesn't care, she is already so unlucky, and there is no need for her to worry about such a trivial matter.
The woman was not pleasant to be burned by fire, and her hair was cut, and now there is no such thing as a parent who cannot destroy her body, but it was not in a barbershop, and her hair was cut as unevenly as a rat's bite. The clothes on his body were also unsightly, so he didn't want to stay in the Temple of Wealth for an extra minute, and inserted the incense candle in his hand into the stove at will, and hurriedly left. It seems that she doesn't feel how prosperous she is, and she thinks to herself: "What kind of bad luck did I take, I came to burn incense to worship the Buddha and had such an accident." Is it destined that everything will not go well this year? ”
A big accident was over, but people's minds were alive, and when the woman walked by, she glanced at her from time to time, and whispered to the people around her: "I must have done something bad to provoke the gods to punish her in public today." ”
"Who said no, I haven't met me every year on the first day of the first month for so many years, you look at the people who come in and out, no one has an accident and she has an accident."
"I've heard that it caused the burning by accidentally falling my hair on the candle flame."
"You believe such nonsense...... It's still booming, that is, coaxing one's own lies. ”
"This speaks to my heart."
"I don't know anything about her, it's not a good thing. also dare to come to incense, no wonder even the Bodhisattva can't stand it and wants to make a move. "Oh? Let's talk about it, what is the big thing that is angry and resentful. ”
……
The next words were not listened to anymore, and she and Asaba had already been squeezed out of the temple gate with the flow of people walking out. When you go out of the gate, you don't have the will to go in again, in fact, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha is to talk about peace of mind. Xiaoxiao and Qianyu walked to the place where they had made an appointment with their mother before they entered, and saw their mother standing with their uncle and aunt's cousin, but they didn't speak. Just looking at this temple. My aunt and uncle seem to have met acquaintances. It's a little far away.,There's no telling what funny things to say.,I'm out of breath and laughing.。
"Mom, we're back." Walking to Lin Mier's side, the two of them also greeted Lin Jianhua, Li Ju, and Lin Yuanda: "Uncle, aunt, cousin (cousin)." ”
"Come over here and I'll take a look." Lin Mi'er carefully observed Qianyu and Qianxiao up and down, left and right, and carefully examined them. "I heard that there were people in it who angered the God of Wealth, who was punished by the God of Wealth in public and burned with candles, but I was so frightened that I didn't care to go in and look for it. It was your uncle who stopped me. It is said that this person comes and goes, if there is an incident that is widely implicated and has a large scope, it will definitely cause panic. The people inside will definitely run out, and the people outside will not go in again, but now it is still peaceful, and the people who come in and out do not see their faces panicked and frightened. Then it'll be fine, wait and it will come out. Lest I go in and you come out with a misaligned photo, so I have to wait patiently. But this heart is still panicked, and Xuan is not steady in mid-air. Now I see that you have finally let go. In the future, why don't you go to such crowded and dangerous places? ”
"Mom. Just an accident, it's fine. Qianyu comforted: "You just said that you heard rumors, don't you know that they are rumors?" How can there be immortals on this sunny day, and it also provokes punishment. Would you believe it? Not to mention that this immortal is a folk myth, you yourself are still a teacher, and you will also believe these nonsense. ”
"Your mother cares about you, this is a mother's heart." Lin Jianhua made a timely mention next to him.
"It's someone who doesn't notice that the hair tied back of his head will run to his chest when he lights his candle, and the place where the candle is lit is full of flames, and the long hair burns when he touches it. But in the blink of an eye, the flame was gone, and the burning hair was cut off with scissors by the person next to him, and when he stepped on it, the hair that fell to the ground and was still burning was extinguished. There are two versions of a trivial matter, inside and outside the temple, which shows that this rumor is fast and extremely unbelievable. ”
"I see, probably because the person I just said didn't see what happened, and when I talked to others, I exaggerated my imagination in order to attract attention, but I was scared by the ease with which she said it. If it weren't for your uncle analyzing and dissuading me today, I might have broken in regardless of it, and then it would have been a real joke, but it's okay. Lin Mier said that it was okay, and when she was okay, she was happy.
"If you go in together without your uncle outside, you won't be worried." A light smile interjected: "You care about me and my sister that disturbs my normal thinking ability." If it weren't for me and my sister in it today, there would really be a fire inside, and you wouldn't be as flustered and unassertive as you are now, so seeing is believing, and hearing is false. However, sometimes what the eyes see is not necessarily the truth of the matter, and it is still inseparable from our smart brains. ”
"Hehe, mom was lectured by the two of you today." Lin Mier was not angry, but smiled proudly as a woman. "You won't be ashamed to boast about yourself like this, your uncle and aunt are here, be more restrained, girls should have the appearance and reserve of girls."
"My aunt won't talk about us during the New Year." Qianyu asked Li Ju, "Isn't it?" ”
"Yes, it is difficult to come out of the New Year, so that their children can have fun and have fun." Li Ju has the best hand at people who pretend to be the middle to make peace.
"You guys are out, why hasn't your grandmother come out yet? Aren't you all in this together? Lin Jianhua asked.
"At first, they were together, and then I don't know when they were separated." Asaba replied honestly.
"That shouldn't be much different, why can't your grandmother see anyone?" Lin Jianhua kept looking at the temple gate, something like that had just happened, everyone was a little uncomfortable in their hearts, thinking about staying away from the place of right and wrong.
"Uncle, don't panic. Grandma must be fine inside," said with a light smile: "My sister and I don't know anything about burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, but we just follow the example of others and do it ourselves, and it doesn't take much time to go around." But my grandmother is different, she is a person who believes in Buddhism, and she is skilled in burning incense and praying, so naturally she must carefully and carefully complete it in accordance with the fixed form in this regard, so that it takes a long time, and each Buddha statue has a process, so that the time will be slow down in a circle, and we will wait patiently here. ”
"What you said makes sense, I didn't panic, but I was shaken by your mother's side. I'm ashamed to ask you to reassure me! Lin Jianhua smiled self-deprecatingly, what happened to him today, where did his previous concentration go, and he was like a hairy child in front of his niece. Lin Jianhua chalked it up to superstitious disturbances.
"Xiaoxiao, you know everything, you can say a little bit about everything." Lin Yuanda didn't wait for a light smile to reply, so he interjected and said, "What you just said made me dizzy." ”
"It's nothing, I just usually be more careful and careful than others; The scope of observation is a little wider, and the books and periodicals are read; The accumulation of knowledge is thicker, and there is no limit to the time when it can be used. To put it bluntly, it's very simple, that is, let you read books, read more books, and move around more. Isn't it said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books? ”
"Oh my God, you have to keep accumulating like this, I can't be patient......" Lin Yuanda's words were knocked several times by Lin Jianhua's chestnut before he finished speaking. Look at yourself, you still dare to say that you can't do it, Xiaoxiao is younger than you, and now she is above you in everything she says and does, not to mention that she is still a girl, don't you feel ashamed? ”
"Dad, Dad. You tap it, I hurt! Lin Yuanda didn't dare to look at his father, he just rubbed the place where he was beaten with his hand, and even the voice of begging for mercy was soft, and the expression of the whole person was cringe, a little family spirit.
Lin Jianhua was furious when he saw his son's expression and movements, and he was even more determined to help his son get rid of such a life because of his wife and mother's love. (To be continued)
