Chapter 202: Happy New Year
Generally, when Lai Xiaohu returns to Jincheng from Los Angeles, someone will pick him up, either Zhang Ying or other people in his own company, such as Yang Fengze.
But when he returned to Shangdu from Jincheng, no one ever came to pick him up, and his mother Dong Cuiyun offered to pick him up, but Lai Xiaohu thought it was too far from home to Shangdu International Airport, so he never let his mother come, and took the car home directly after getting off the plane by himself.
And this time, when Lai Xiaohu, Zhang Ying, and Ivanka just got off the plane and turned on their mobile phones, a call came in.
"Hey, Sister Yafei, well, we have already gotten off the plane," although Lai Xiaohu told Liu Yafei the information of his flight, he didn't expect that she would come to pick him up, and he had been waiting outside for a long time.
Looking at Zhang Ying and Ivanka on the side, Lai Xiaohu felt unbearable, but he was still very grateful and talked to Concubine Liu Yafei, "Well, okay, I'll see you later." ”
"Is that her?" As soon as Lai Xiaohu hung up the phone, Zhang Ying asked, obviously Zhang Ying was still very impressed by Concubine Liu Ya.
"Hmm." Lai Xiaohu nodded and said, but after speaking, Lai Xiaohu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "She came by herself, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Lai Xiaohu is really afraid that Zhang Ying will think too much, in that case, he will be unlucky, and now the New Year is about to be, if Zhang Ying makes a fuss again at this time, then don't think about this New Year.
"yes, I know." Zhang Ying looked at Lai Xiaohu's nervous face, and smiled smugly at the corner of her mouth, it is estimated that she can treat Lai Xiaohu like this in this world, according to Lai Xiaohu's temper, who else he is afraid of.
In the heart, of course. Zhang Ying immediately increased her original vigilance level against Liu Yafei, originally thinking that the two had not seen each other for a long time, and Liu Yafei's intention towards Lai Xiaohu in her heart should not be as strong as before, but now it seems that time and distance have not become an obstacle for Liu Yafei to eyeing Lai Xiaohu.
And Ivanka didn't know about the existence of Concubine Liu Ya, so when she saw Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying just now, infinite curiosity suddenly rose in her heart, "That's a woman?" Ivanka immediately asked.
Suddenly, Zhang Ying and Lai Xiaohu rolled their eyes at the same time, didn't they see that Lai Xiaohu was called sister just now? Although you are American. Although you have only been learning Chinese for a short time, you can't be so unqualified.
"Then she's still young and beautiful?" Seeing Lai Xiaohu nodding helplessly, Ivanka immediately asked again.
"It's beautiful, and if it's young, it's young." thought of Concubine Liu Yafei's appearance, temperament, and age younger than Ivanka. Lai Xiaohu said.
"Oh." Suddenly, Ivanka suddenly realized. "Then Zhang Ying, you have to be careful." After speaking. Ivanka had a slightly relieved look on her face.
According to the division of labor between Ivanka and Zhang Ying, China is obviously Zhang Ying's own territory, and what happened to Lai Xiaohu in China is not under Ivanka's control, Lai Xiaohu has arrived in the United States, and it is her Ivanka's business to prevent Lai Xiaohu from letting him steal the orangutan, but in China. That's Zhang Ying's business.
"I'll still need you to say it." Zhang Ying suddenly glanced at Ivanka angrily, in vain I have been so good to you during this time, I didn't expect you to say such a thing.
Obviously, the two of them didn't take into account Lai Xiaohu on the side when they said this, how embarrassing did you say that Lai Xiaohu was embarrassed to hear this. It's as if you're a prisoner waiting to be caught by the police.
"Xiaohu, here." Lai Xiaohu and his entourage are still quite conspicuous, handsome guys and beautiful women, plus a tall American, so the three of them were seen by Liu Yafei who was waiting outside as soon as they walked out of the airport.
Lai Xiaohu took a look, took Zhang Ying and Ivanka, dragged the luggage and walked in the direction of Liu Yafei, although the cold of winter made Liu Yafei have to wear a thick down jacket, but even so it still can't hide Liu Yafei's natural temperament.
Zhang Ying, Concubine Liu naturally knew each other, but there was another woman next to Lai Xiaohu, Concubine Liu Yafei was sure that she had never seen it, let alone a foreigner.
"Is it?" Suddenly, Liu Yafei thought of the American supermodel who appeared in the newspaper with Lai Xiaohu before, is this it?
If Zhang Ying hadn't been there, maybe Concubine Liu Ya, who hadn't seen Lai Xiaohu for a long time, would have given Lai Xiaohu an affectionate hug, but now, seeing Lai Xiaohu, the two didn't even shake hands, which can be said to be a real kiss without the slightest skin.
"You're finally back, I thought you were going to stay in Jincheng for the Chinese New Year this year?" Regarding Lai Xiaohu's return so late, Liu Yafei said with a little complaint.
"I'd like to come back sooner, but I can't help it." Lai Xiaohu could only express his helplessness with a bitter face.
After catching up with Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying a little, Liu Yafei pointed to Ivanka and asked Lai Xiaohu, "What is this?" ”
"Oh," Lai Xiaohu suddenly realized, and then hurriedly introduced Ivanka to Liu Yafei and said, "This is Ivanka, from the United States." Then he pointed to Liu Yafei and introduced to Ivanka, "This is my sister, Liu Yafei, but she is younger than you, you can call her by her name." ”
"Hello, Ivanka." After Lai Xiaohu finished speaking, Concubine Liu Yafei politely stepped forward to shake hands with Ivanka and said.
"Hello, Sister Yafei." Ivanka also said with a smile to Liu Yafei in Chinese.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Lai Xiaohu, Zhang Ying and Liu Yafei were all petrified in an instant.
Just now, Lai Xiaohu just told Ivanka that Concubine Liu Yafei is younger than her age, and asked her to call Concubine Liu Yafei's name directly, but why did she call Concubine Liu Yafei her sister when she opened her mouth?
Concubine Liu Yafei is a little angry, do I look like you are old or how do you get it? Even though I'm younger than you, you still call me sister?
"Is there something wrong?" Seeing the stunned look of the three of them, Ivanka hurriedly asked, she didn't know much about Chinese culture and customs, she quickly took out a small notebook from her small bag, only to see that she opened the seventeenth page directly and looked at it and said, "That's right, that's what it says above, no matter how old the little tiger is called." What do I have to call it? ”
Well, his eyes swept over it, Lai Xiaohu was deeply helpless, and his feelings have not turned around until now.
When she was still in Jincheng, when Lai Xiaohu taught Ivanka Chinese, she told her that her elders were Ivanka's elders, what did she call each other, and what did Ivanka call each other?
What Lai Xiaohu originally thought was that Ivanka was his own woman, so naturally he called the other party something, and Ivanka followed suit. But now we are still in a state of concealment, no, our relationship is just the three of us know.
But now it's impossible to hide it from Concubine Liu Yafei, you can see Concubine Liu Yafei's bright eyes, you know that she has guessed, "You." The two thumbs hooked each other, and Concubine Liu Yafei gestured to Lai Xiaohu.
"Oops. Sort of. "Finished. Lai Xiaohu directly pulled a few people outside, don't worry about it here.
figured out the real relationship between Lai Xiaohu and Ivanka, Liu Yafei was surprised on the surface, but in her heart she was already proud.
"Seeing that my preaching to Zhang Ying at the beginning was very effective." Concubine Liu thought in her heart.
That's of course, otherwise Zhang Ying would have forgiven Lai Xiaohu so quickly? Will you acquiesce in the relationship between Lai Xiaohu and Ivanka? Will Ivanka be allowed to appear in China? Will Ivanka and Lai Xiaohu meet their hometown together?
Therefore, it is now confirmed that Ivanka and Lai Xiaohu are really that kind of relationship. And the two of them are still with Zhang Ying so openly, Liu Yafei feels that her spring is coming.
Concubine Liu Yafei came by car today, and she could just send the three of them back to her home.
However, on the way back, Lai Xiaohu immediately started a temporary education for Ivanka. Otherwise, if the mistake that happened in front of Concubine Liu Ya just now at home reappeared, then it is conceivable that Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying would be angry at that time?
Although Zhang Ying can acquiesce to the existence of Ivanka, it does not mean that Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying can accept this kind of thing. Both of them grew up in the sixties and seventies, and their thoughts were deeply influenced by the mainstream ideas of the time, so it can be said that Lai Xiaohu's behavior is absolutely strictly eradicated and absolutely not allowed.
What's more, Zhang Xiuying is still Zhang Ying's mother, from a mother's point of view, Zhang Xiuying naturally does not allow Lai Xiaohu to have a relationship with other women? Wouldn't that be detrimental to her daughter's interests?
Now that Concubine Liu Yafei has guessed it, Lai Xiaohu no longer hid it, and began to sit in the car and tell Ivanka about the precautions.
For example, when she arrives at home, what should she call her family and those friends and relatives who came during the New Year, and for example, after arriving at home, Ivanka must keep a safe distance from Lai Xiaohu, and she must not let Zhang Xiuying or Dong Cuiyun see any clues? and so on.
Of course, Lai Xiaohu also has to explain the reason to Ivanka, otherwise it will not be good for Ivanka to think crookedly.
"You know, my mother is a very traditional Chinese, so she will definitely not accept the two of us in a short period of time, so for the sake of conservatism, I can only let you be wronged."
Liu Yafei, who was in front, saw that Lai Xiaohu was so careless about herself and Zhang Ying's presence, so she made it clear that she would say these things to Ivanka, and even from time to time Zhang Ying would interject to Ivanka to say a few words of attention. Immediately, she admired Lai Xiaohu. Men who can do this are all geniuses.
And Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying, who were in their hometown, also knew early that Lai Xiaohu was coming back today, although they would inevitably complain on the phone that Lai Xiaohu came back too late or something like Liu Yafei, but when Lai Xiaohu really came back, he didn't say a word of accusation.
It's just that when the two of them saw Ivanka, they were all stunned in an instant, how could there be one more woman in this, Liu Yafei and the two knew each other last time. Although the two had a bad impression of Liu Yafei at the beginning, but later because Zhang Ying and Lai Xiaohu reconciled with the help of Liu Yafei, this time the two of them had a great impression of Liu Yafei. And the two of them didn't know that Concubine Liu had been beating Lai Xiaohu's idea, so when they saw Concubine Liu Ya, they often showed a very kind look.
But this sudden appearance of the American woman suddenly made the two of them a little overwhelmed.
"Mom, this is the daughter of a partner of Xiaohu in the United States, and she is also a friend of Lai Xiaohu in the United States, and this time she is here to experience the Chinese New Year." Seeing the puzzled looks of the two, in order to avoid the two of them guessing, Zhang Ying quickly stood up and introduced Ivanka to the two.
Zhang Ying's active introduction. The suspicion in the hearts of the two has really been alleviated a lot, in the eyes of the two Zhang Ying is also an extremely smart person, since Ivanka came back with her, then there must not be a too close relationship with Lai Xiaohu, otherwise Zhang Ying would not be unable to see it, and she is so good with her.
"Hello aunt." Under Zhang Ying's signal, Ivanka also hurriedly stepped forward to greet Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying in Chinese respectively.
"Mom, what's going on, I'm still teaching Ivanka's Chinese?" After Ivanka finished speaking, Zhang Ying immediately interjected on the side.
Lai Xiaohu's eyes swept a blank glance at Zhang Ying, who had stolen the fruits of his labor this time. Obviously, Ivanka's Chinese was taught by me Lai Xiaohu, why did it become your credit when I got here?
"Okay, okay." Ivanka's greeting to the two in Chinese obviously surprised the two of them, but I didn't expect this American to speak Chinese?
But in the same way, the two of them gradually got better with Ivanka. After Ivanka finished speaking, the two also stepped forward to greet Ivanka separately.
saw Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying come back. People from the neighborhood also came out to see the excitement. People in the village are like this, usually when someone from the family comes back from a long trip, the neighbors will come out to see and greet each other.
And this time, seeing that Lai Xiaohu was followed by a yellow-haired foreign woman, these neighbors immediately started talking. "Hey, do you think this woman is the wife that Xiaohu is looking for outside?"
"Go, what are you talking nonsense, let Cuiyun and Xiuying hear it and talk about you again." As soon as the man finished speaking, someone on the side immediately said accusatorily, "Didn't you hear Cuiyun and Xiuying say some time ago that Xiaohu and Yingying are getting better now?" ”
"What? Really? Obviously, this person doesn't know the relationship between Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying.
After a while, another person came up and asked Lai Xiaohu who this foreign woman was, and Lai Xiaohu told them that it was a foreign friend of his, and the others didn't say much.
Anyway, a foreigner who had never appeared before suddenly appeared in the quiet town, and it was a woman, and everyone immediately had something to talk about.
Some people speculate about how Lai Xiaohu and Ivanka met? And more people are thinking about what kind of relationship is between Lai Xiaohu, Zhang Ying and Ivanka?
I have to say that it's winter, everyone is at home and has nothing to do, but Lai Xiaohu came back this time to give them a topic to chat about.
Not long after being at Lai Xiaohu's house, Concubine Liu Yafei left, but before leaving, Concubine Liu also told Lai Xiaohu that she would come again.
Lai Xiaohu hurriedly promised that he would be waiting for him at any time.
In the evening, everyone gathered together for dinner, and then sat down and chatted.
Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying haven't been at home much in the past two years, so in fact, the two old people still have a lot to say about them, and after inevitably sitting down, the two slowly began to ask how the current relationship between Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying is? Have you ever had any more conflicts? And how about the work of the two and so on?
And sometimes, Zhang Xiuying and Dong Cuiyun will also focus on Ivanka and ask some things about the United States from her.
It's rare for the family to sit together and chat, so naturally it is inevitable that they can't control the time, and by the time everyone reacts, it's almost one o'clock in the morning.
It was too late, so everyone hurriedly packed up and went to bed.
Lai Xiaohu had to be honest about who was in his own home this time, and Ivanka followed Zhang Ying to Zhang Ying's place to sleep.
Not to mention that the three of them are in the same bed, Lai Xiaohu really hopes that the three of them will be in the same room, but after looking at Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying, he still honestly went back to sleep in his own room.
The next day, everyone got up early, although they wanted to sleep lazy, but today the family was busy, so Lai Xiaohu also had to get up to help.
Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and today we must finish all the things before the New Year, although the New Year's goods at home Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying have been purchased, but many things have not been packed yet?
Overoiling, boiling meat, making dumpling filling, etc., all kinds of things are busy. And there is no pair at home so far, Lai Xiaohu is the only man in the family, and this task is handed over to Lai Xiaohu.
Lai Xiaohu remembered that when he was a child, he posted the New Year's Eve pair on the twenty-eighth or twenty-ninth of the New Year, but I don't know how in the past few years. Everyone seems to have changed to the last day.
In the evening, Lai Xiaohu took a pot of paste made by Dong Cuiyun, and then took Zhang Ying and Ivanka to start a pair.
Go to the old home first, the old home was lived in when Lai Xiaohu's father was still alive, but later since the family built a new house, and Lai Xiaohu's grandparents have passed away one after another, basically Lai Xiaohu and Dong Cuiyun have not returned to the old home for a long time, but during the Chinese New Year, they are the first to stick pairs here every year.
Lai Xiaohu asked Ivanka to hold the ladder for herself, but she had to hand Lai Xiaohu a pair. As a result, she couldn't understand the upper and lower links at all, so she made Lai Xiaohu paste it wrong several times, but fortunately, the paste dried slowly in winter, so Lai Xiaohu hurriedly re-pasted it.
"Hey, your Chinese culture is really troublesome. Obviously, there is no difference between the two, so why do you have to stipulate which one is on the left. Which one is on the right? After making mistakes several times in a row, Ivanka honestly went back to her old job.
"After you understand our Chinese culture, you will know why you have to distinguish between left and right?" Lai Xiaohu knocked on Ivanka's head and said.
Let Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying stick a pair together. I guess it will be done soon. But if you add an Ivanka, it's busy.
By the time the three of them pasted the old courtyard, as well as Lai Xiaohu's house and Zhang Ying's house, it was already getting dark. Fortunately, Zhang Xiuying and Dong Cuiyun had already wrapped the dumplings just now, otherwise they would have to eat dinner until eight or nine o'clock.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is naturally eaten by two families, which has been a tradition for many years. Lai Xiaohu and his mother are the only two left, his grandparents have passed away, and he has no uncles or uncles.
After the dumplings were ordered, Lai Xiaohu immediately took out the firecrackers that had been prepared long ago and lit them in the courtyard. Then they went back and forth around the whole large courtyard.
Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying grasped the time very accurately, and when the sound of firecrackers fell, the dumplings were just out of the pot.
Of course, Lai Xiaohu didn't eat the first bowl of dumplings, because the first bowl of dumplings was used for worship.
After that, Lai Xiaohu served a big bowl to his mother, Zhang Xiuying and Zhang Ying Ivanka.
This is the first time Ivanka has eaten dumplings, the cooked dumplings are slippery on the outside, and the ones who don't know how to use chopsticks are always unable to clamp them, and several times they are almost to her mouth, but she was a little excited, and she had a lot of strength, and the dumplings were immediately transferred to the bowl.
Seeing that Lai Xiaohu and the others had already eaten almost half a bowl, and he hadn't even eaten any of them yet, Ivanka suddenly became anxious and put the chopsticks on the table, and Ivanka grabbed them directly.
But what she just sandwiched back and forth, she had already filled the dumplings with water, and she took a heavy bite of the word, and the water that squirted out directly from the dumplings shot Lai Xiaohu, who was opposite Ivanka, on the face.
"Ah," seeing the water stains on Lai Xiaohu's face, Ivanka, who knew that she was in trouble, was very embarrassed to sell her head between her legs.
Except for Lai Xiaohu's innocent face, the rest of the people all laughed at Ivanka's performance just now, and Dong Cuiyun, who knew that Ivanka was not very good at using chopsticks, hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a fork for Ivanka.
Obviously, using a fork is Ivanka's old job, and finally, with the magical help of the fork, Ivanka quickly finished eating a bowl of dumplings before Lai Xiaohu.
"Don't eat so fast, there's still something in the pot." Seeing Ivanka eating so quickly, Dong Cuiyun hurriedly said with a smile.
"Well," Ivanka said with an intoxicated look after eating the last dumpling and putting the bowl and fork on the table, "Wow, it's delicious." ”
"I'm going to eat it again." Ivanka looked around for a week and said heroically.
"Hahaha," everyone laughed.
Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, not only to eat reunion, but also to eat happy, happy. With Ivanka joining this time, it was obvious that there was a lot more laughter at home tonight. And the performance of Ivanka's true temperament also greatly increased Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying's favorability towards her.
In the past, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Lai Xiaohu would usually go out to have fun with a few of his former friends after dinner, sometimes until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, and sometimes he would not come back until the next morning when Dong Cuiyun went to find it.
But this time, Lai Xiaohu, who thought that he hadn't been with his mother for many years, suddenly decided that he must accompany his mother at night.
Sure enough, several friends who knew that Lai Xiaohu was back appeared at Lai Xiaohu's house one after another after dinner, wanting to ask Lai Xiaohu to go out to play together. But this time, Lai Xiaohu refused.
Seeing that Lai Xiaohu did not go out tonight, Dong Cuiyun was also very happy, although she used to say that after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Lai Xiaohu said that after going out to play, she would let him go out with a smile, but in fact, after Lai Xiaohu left, she was the only one left at home, and she also felt very lonely, especially on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve.
This time, Lai Xiaohu rarely stayed with her, of course she was happy.
And Zhang Xiuying and Zhang Ying didn't leave, everyone turned on the TV directly after eating, and it didn't take long. The Spring Festival Gala started on time. Although the Spring Festival Gala in the past two years has begun to decline, it is okay in Lai Xiaohu's opinion.
For people like him, if they stay at home. Watching the Spring Festival Gala on Chinese New Year's Eve is not to see what special programs are inside, but to enjoy the process of watching the Spring Festival Gala with your family. As long as the shows in it are not impossible to look at directly, they are all very exciting in Lai Xiaohu's eyes.
It's just that Lai Xiaohu's desire to keep the New Year with Dong Cuiyun until dawn has not been realized. Now it's not as old as before, Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying are both older. Plus the previous hard work. So the energy is not as good as before.
Not long after the Spring Festival Gala ended, Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying both shouted that they couldn't stand the sleepiness, and when they heard this, Lai Xiaohu could only let the two go back to rest first.
However, Lai Xiaohu, Zhang Ying, and Ivanka were very energetic, so after Zhang Xiuying and Dong Cuiyun left, the three of them sat directly on the sofa and talked.
As soon as the conversation opened. The three of them couldn't hold it back, and for a while they were reminiscing about their respective years, they were teasing each other again, and they were playing various small games again. Before you know it, the sky outside has begun to whiten.
As soon as six o'clock arrived, Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying got up one after another, and saw that Lai Xiaohu, Zhang Ying, and Ivanka hadn't slept yet, and the two hurriedly urged the three of them to go back and rest a little.
In previous years, breakfast was eaten at seven o'clock on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, but this time, in order to make the three of them rest for a while, it was not until eight o'clock that Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying called the three of them up for breakfast.
After the firecrackers, several people sat down together and began to enjoy the first meal of the new year.
After breakfast, Dong Cuiyun asked Lai Xiaohu if the three of them were sleepy, but all three of them shook their heads and said they were not sleepy.
It just so happened that the five of them could go out to the annual meeting together.
There is a temple in the middle of Lai Xiaohu's several villages, I can't say whether this is a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple, Lai Xiaohu didn't know when he was a child, but when he grew up, he went in again, and found that there were not only Taoist gods and goddesses enshrined in it, but also Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of the Buddhist family.
asked the people in the temple, and they actually told Lai Xiaohu that Buddhism and Taoism were originally a family?
But it's right to think about it, since the spread of "Lao Tzu's nonsense", the two schools of Taoism and Buddhism are not so clear among the people, especially in the countryside, and the situation of Taoist Buddha being enshrined in a temple has gradually increased.
The temple is very close to Lai Xiaohu's house, and it is estimated that it will take about ten minutes to get there on foot, and when he went out, Lai Xiaohu found that there were not a few people who rushed to the temple together on the road.
walked all the way, basically Lai Xiaohu and Dong Cuiyun also said hello all the way, at this time, the people who went to the temple were basically people from several nearby villages, and everyone often met on weekdays, so they were more or less acquaintances.
Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying are much more pious than Lai Xiaohu, and after arriving above, the two went to the main hall to worship the gods together.
And Lai Xiaohu took Ivanka and Zhang Ying to one of his favorite places on weekdays, the Yama Hall in the temple.
There are two rows of houses on both sides of the main hall, and the ten halls of Yama are enshrined in them, but this is not the focus of Lai Xiaohu's view, the point is that there are many mud figurines made of mud inside. These clay figurines are very interesting and also very didactic.
In the Yama shop, these clay figurines are posed in various shapes according to the myths and legends of the ghosts suffering in the eighteen layers of hell, such as slashing, burning, and digging hearts. There are those who cut out their tongues, and all kinds of scenes about tormenting bad people described in hell.
In Lai Xiaohu's place, when they were young, adults would usually take their children to go here, and of course, they would inevitably have to preach to their respective children on the way.
For example, some parents pointed to the clay figure whose tongue had been cut off and said to their children, "If you see it, the children who lie will have their tongues cut out." So you must not lie in the future, "What happens after that?"
When I was a child, Lai Xiaohu and they were generally not as bold as they are now, and when they saw these slightly scary statues here, they would inevitably be slightly afraid in the slightly dim environment inside, so at that time, after the general parents finished educating them. Lai Xiaohu and they will all say, "Mom and Dad, I will definitely not lie and deceive people." ”
Now thinking about what happened when he was a child, Lai Xiaohu feels ridiculous.
But as they grew older, Lai Xiaohu's fear of this slowly disappeared. It's more of a joke about what happened when I was a child. However, this Yama Hall was still their favorite place to visit. Especially at night, sometimes several partners are together in order to compete with each other. How to compare? Just go around this Yama hall and take a turn.
Zhang Ying was also pulled by Zhang Xiuying to see it once when she was a child. However, girls are not better than boys, and boys are generally not afraid of these things as they get older, but girls may be more afraid of these things as they get older.
So except for the time when she was forcibly pulled in by Zhang Xiuying when she was a child, Zhang Ying never came in here again. Every time she came here to visit the temple fair before, she was far away from this Yama Temple.
If it weren't for Lai Xiaohu this time, he would have to pull her in. And Ivanka is making a fuss outside, she says she won't come at anything.
So from the beginning of coming in, Zhang Ying almost didn't dare to look at the clay figurines that represented this kind of punishment, and Ivanka didn't know what the Yama Hall was before she came in. You thought it was something fun? But when she came in, she saw the clay figure at the door that had been pierced by ten thousand arrows, and almost didn't let her call out.
Feelings are not fun here, this is all scared to death.
The more she walked inside, the darker the light became, and the statues inside were even more terrifying, and she finally couldn't help it after seeing the image of a guilty person in one of the statues being forcibly pressed into a stone mill and grinding it into blood, while a tengu lying in the blood tank next to her was drinking the blood that flowed out.
"Ah," shouted, and Ivanka threw her head directly into Lai Xiaohu's arms. And on the other side of Lai Xiaohu, Zhang Ying also snuggled up to Lai Xiaohu's body early, and let Lai Xiaohu help her block.
Seeing the scared appearance of the two women, Lai Xiaohu smiled happily, when they were still going to school in their hometown, their male classmates often dragged female classmates here to scare them.
Since the two of them were already scared, Lai Xiaohu stopped in moderation, and then began to walk outside with the two girls in his arms.
Suddenly, the male compatriots who saw this scene all looked at Lai Xiaohu with envy and jealousy. At that moment, I don't know how many people immediately turned to the Lord of Yama in front of him and said, "Lord of Yama, you should be merciful and accept that person." ”
Of course, everyone is just joking, and there will really be no Hades to take Lai Xiaohu away.
So after going out, Lai Xiaohu was directly twisted by the two women on both sides, "Hmph, it will scare us." ”
Obviously, after coming out, seeing Lai Xiaohu's enjoyment, the two girls instantly sensed Lai Xiaohu's intentions, so of course they wouldn't have a good face for Lai Xiaohu, who was so scared that he almost cried inside.
Lai Xiaohu hurriedly begged for mercy again, and originally wanted to take them to the other side of the Hades Palace to have a look, but seeing that the two women looked like they couldn't spare you if you dared to take us again, Lai Xiaohu hurriedly took the two girls to other places.
Since Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying still have to draw lots to tell fortunes after burning incense, they can continue to move freely for the time being.
After feeling that the time was almost up, Lai Xiaohu rushed to the main hall with Zhang Ying and Ivanka, and at this time Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying had basically done their own thing.
Lai Xiaohu was almost sure that the two of them must have told fortunes for themselves and Zhang Ying, such things had happened before, but they knew that Lai Xiaohu didn't believe this, so they usually wouldn't tell Lai Xiaohu after telling his fortunes.
It's the same this time, although they didn't say it, but Lai Xiaohu saw their happy appearance, and knew that the people inside must have said a lot of good things to them just now, it is estimated that it is not to say how Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying were born rich, that is, how the two were born as a pair, and they are destined to be together for a hundred years, and their children and grandchildren are full of children.
They wanted to ask for peace of mind, and Lai Xiaohu would never accuse them of anything in this matter.
Soon, everyone detoured from the side gate of the main hall to the back of the main hall.
In fact, the back is the highest god enshrined in the entire temple, because it is the Jade Emperor who is enshrined here. Below the two sides of the Jade Emperor, the Four Heavenly Kings escorted the side.
Needless to say, Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying kowtowed and burned incense again, and after they were done, they couldn't leave.
Because there are two rows of houses on both sides of the back, which are dedicated to the medical saint and the goddess of mercy.
The right side kneels to pray for peace, while the left side means self-evident.
Sending the child Guanyin Temple is also the whole temple in addition to the Yama Hall Lai Xiaohu and their favorite place to go before, you said that at that time Lai Xiaohu and a group of them were twelve or thirteen years old and a half children, not to mention girlfriends, it is estimated that they don't even know what love is and what men and women do.
But that's it, they just ran inside, and when they got inside, everyone teased each other, and then they all ran out again.
This time, I followed Dong Cuiyun in, and naturally I couldn't do it like before. Lai Xiaohu, Zhang Ying, and Ivanka honestly stood behind Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying this time.
After entering, Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying knelt down in front of Guanyin, and when they saw the appearance of the two, Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying glanced at each other, and they both blushed. Needless to say, Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying's intentions are both clear in their hearts.
And just when Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying were kneeling to send off their son Guanyin, a middle-aged woman in her forties came out from the side, probably like the person who took care of the temple.
I saw that she had two lit incense sticks in her hand, walked up to Lai Xiaohu and handed him one of the incense sticks and said, "Young man, say goodbye, protect your children and grandchildren." ”
This Lai Xiaohu knows that usually when the staff here sees that it is a couple coming in together, they will take out two sticks of incense and let the couple worship here for free.
For the first time to enjoy such treatment, Lai Xiaohu hurriedly took it.
But later, after giving a stick of incense to Lai Xiaohu, the person who gave the incense didn't know who to give the other stick of incense?
Why? Because there are obviously two women standing next to Lai Xiaohu, and they are both young and beautiful women, the two women seem to be close to Lai Xiaohu? Although Zhang Ying and Ivanka are Chinese and foreigners, there are not no Chinese and foreign combinations in this era, so it is difficult for people to determine who is Lai Xiaohu's girlfriend.
And more importantly, at this time, Zhang Ying and Ivanka were surprised that they all reached out to pick up another incense.
Well, seeing this scene, the person who sent the incense was directly petrified.
What's going on? Do you think that it is still ancient? There are still three wives and four concubines, this is obviously a piece of incense, and both of you are rushing to ask for it, are you both the girlfriends of this man?
It is not only her who is petrified, but also Lai Xiaohu, Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying, who also turned around. And the other people on the side also stared wide-eyed. (To be continued.) )
