Chapter 493: Mistaken Period (Medium)
"What's the matter, Wu, aren't you going to go?" Seeing this, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Xu Guanwu complained again and again in his heart, but there was still a smile on his face, "No, if you don't go to Lantau Island to eat fasting, you should have told me earlier, I should have prepared earlier." Now you are coldly saying that you are going to Lantau Island tomorrow, and there are still a lot of things in my company that I have not entrusted. It's two days to go, what if things are delayed? ”
"I already told you yesterday, I also said that I wanted to donate money to the Buddha statue, didn't you already agree at the time, why do you say this now?" Zhao Yazhi heard Xu Guanwu say this, and couldn't help but say aggrievedly.
"Ah Wu, it's a good thing to go to Lantau Island to eat fast and accumulate merit for your children, but you must go." Sister-in-law Chen Jieying stood up and said, "Besides, the company's affairs are naturally handled by subordinates, can the company collapse without you?" If that's the case, what's the use of having people? ”
"Sister-in-law is right, it's only two days, even if the mistake can be serious?" Zhao Yazhi also nodded and said, "You have already promised to go to others, don't you want our baby to be better if you don't go now?" ”
"Of course not," Xu Guanwu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you." ”
"That's just like the words, then I'll come to you tomorrow." Chen Jieying said with a smile, "You don't know how many people want to go to Lantau Island to eat fast at this point in time, and I finally helped book two rooms." If you don't go, you'll waste all my effort. ”
"Yes, Xie Luxie's sister-in-law's help, after I gave birth to a baby. Please eat red eggs by all means. Zhao Yazhi grinned.
The two of them chatted for a while. I just took my leave.
Xu Guanwu sat on the side and was stunned. If you go to Lantau Island for fasting for two days, you will miss it completely with Deng Lijun, and you are really unwilling to think about it.
On the one hand, you can only eat cabbage and tofu, but on the other hand, it is alive and fragrant, which is the difference between hell and heaven!
"Really, it's not good to choose when to go to Lantau Island, if you don't die, you have to go tomorrow." Xu Guanwu couldn't help muttering, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.
"Awu. What are you muttering over there? Zhao Yazhi saw that his expression was gloomy, and there were words in his mouth, so she couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"It's nothing, I'm going to go to the study to make a phone call and explain the company's affairs, don't come to trouble me if you have nothing to do." After Xu Guanwu finished speaking, he walked into the study alone.
Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she heard him say this, and then flattened her mouth aggrievedly.
……
After Xu Guanwu entered the study, he immediately plugged the door, and then made a phone call to Taipei. But there was no answer on the other side of the phone, only a busy beep, beep, beep. Xu Guanwu felt very manic.
"Where the hell have you been, why hasn't anyone listened to the phone for so long? Those servants are all dead, and they don't answer the phone when it rings like this? Xu Guanwu and the others were anxious, and couldn't help but scold.
But after calling for more than ten minutes, he couldn't get through, so Xu Guanwu had no choice but to hang up the phone.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Just then, I heard a knock on the door.
Xu Guanwu walked over angrily, slammed the door open, and saw Zhao Yazhi standing in front of the door, startled by his sudden opening, with a shocked expression on his face. "Didn't you say that you shouldn't come to trouble me if you don't have anything to do?" He said coldly.
"I just called you for dinner." Zhao Yazhi was frightened by him and couldn't help whispering.
Xu Guanwu nodded, "Then let's eat." ”
Zhao Yazhi flattened her mouth aggrievedly, followed him like an angry little daughter-in-law, and went to the table together.
Xu Guanwu had something in his heart, and he couldn't eat sweetly, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks after only a few bites.
"Ah Wu, is the food unappetizing, do you want Sister Wang to help you cook something else?" Seeing this, Zhao Yazhi hurriedly asked with concern.
"No, I'm not hungry." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "I'll go back to the study and make a call, don't bother me if it's okay." ”
After speaking, Xu Guanwu returned to the study again.
Zhao Yazhi saw that he looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in her heart.
……
After Xu Guanwu returned to the study, he tried to call Deng Lijun again, but no one answered the phone.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but hang up the phone helplessly, and sat there alone in a daze.
Knock, knock, knock, there was another knock on the door, which woke Xu Guanwu up.
He walked over again and opened the door angrily, and saw Zhao Yazhi standing in front of the door, looking at him timidly.
"What's the matter?" Xu Guanwu asked unhappily.
"Well, I want to tell you that "Choice" has started broadcasting, do you want to come out and watch it with me?" Zhao Yazhi pointed to the TV and said.
"Don't look at it, it's boring." Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "Go and see for yourself, I'll read some books in the study, don't bother me if you don't have anything to do." ”
When Zhao Yazhi heard him say this, she couldn't help but flatten her mouth in disappointment, she wanted to cry aggrievedly but tried her best to hold back, and returned to the living room silently.
Xu Guanwu closed the door and continued to return to his seat in a daze.
After that, every ten or twenty minutes, Xu Guanwu made a phone call to Taipei, but unexpectedly, no one answered every time, which made Xu Guanwu more and more irritable, and couldn't help but think about it in his heart.
"It's ten o'clock in the evening, and she hasn't come back yet, what the hell is she doing?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that she has other men in Taipei who haven't come back so late, and she went on a date with someone else?" Otherwise, how could you not answer the phone for so long? ”
The more Xu Guanwu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and for a while, his heart was like a weed, and it was extremely uncomfortable to scratch his heart.
"Knock, knock, knock......" There was another knock on the door.
Xu Guanwu walked over again and opened the door, and saw Zhao Yazhi standing at the door, holding a porcelain cup in her hand.
"What's wrong again?" Xu Guanwu asked with a frown.
"Well, I see that you haven't eaten anything tonight, so I specially asked Sister Wang to help you stew this cup of chicken soup. You better drink it while it's hot, or it won't be good if you're hungry. Zhao Yazhi said softly.
Xu Guanwu originally wanted to wave his hand to let Zhao Yazhi go back. But see her cautious look. There is a little reluctance in my heart. "Okay, put it on the table, I'll eat it myself later."
"Yes." Zhao Yazhi nodded, hearing Xu Guanwu say this, she was no longer as repulsive as she was just now, and she couldn't help but have a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
Putting the porcelain cup on the table, Zhao Yazhi did not leave immediately, but walked over to rearrange the stacks of crooked books on the desk.
"Ah Zhi. Put it there and I'll clean it up after I do. If you have limited mobility, you might as well go back and rest. Xu Guanwu saw her tidying up there with her stomach up, and couldn't help but say softly in his heart.
"It's nothing, it's just walking around, and it doesn't tire me. When my mother was pregnant again, she used to work in a factory. Zhao Yazhi shook her head and said, stunned for a moment, she glanced at Xu Guanwu again, "Ah Wu." Do you have something on your mind today? If you really don't want to go to Lantau Island for fasting, then tomorrow will be me and my sister-in-law. Qingxia and the three of them are going to go. ”
Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "It's okay, I'll go to fasting tomorrow." You don't have to worry about me, it's just a little business. ”
"Oh, I don't know much about business, and I can't help you with anything, but I read in the book that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. There must be a way to solve any difficulties, and you don't have to embarrass yourself like this. Zhao Yazhi thought about it and persuaded her.
Xu Guanwu nodded, "Well, I know what to do." ”
"Okay, come and drink this bowl of chicken soup, it won't taste good when it's cold." Zhao Yazhi saw her husband's face soften, and couldn't help but say happily.
Xu Guanwu nodded, walked over and opened the porcelain cup, and saw a bowl of clear soup inside, the yellow and clear color was very attractive. As soon as the lid was lifted, a white gas gushed out, and suddenly the entire study room was filled with a faint fragrance.
"Well, it's so fragrant, Sister Wang's craftsmanship has improved again." Xu Guanwu nodded and said.
"Yes, this is Sister Wang's newly learned Angelica Bird's Nest Chicken Soup, called 'Spring Warm Swallow Homecoming'!" Zhao Yazhi explained with a smile.
"Ahem!" When Xu Guanwu heard this familiar name, he almost choked on a mouthful of chicken soup.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Zhao Yazhi hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help him wipe it.
Xu Guanwu coughed a few times and asked with a strange expression, "Why did you come up with such a name?" ”
"Well, Sister Wang said that this angelica chicken soup is very nourishing, very effective for men, and it is a good product for wives to stew and supplement for husbands. And angelica, angelica means that I hope my husband doesn't bother outside, and it's time to go home. Zhao Yazhi explained with a blushing face.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, this name immediately reminded him of the blockbuster Hong Kong film "Eight Star Annunciation", the eldest brother played by Huang Baiming made such a dish when he was doing a cooking show on the TV station. I thought it was a fabrication by screenwriter Huang Baiming, but I didn't expect that there really was such a dish.
"What's the matter, what are you laughing at?" Zhao Yazhi saw her husband eating and laughing, and couldn't help but ask with a red face and doubts.
"No, nothing. But the name is very good, very poetic and picturesque. Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "Chun Nuan Yan is home, well, good name." ”
"Really?" Zhao Yazhi smiled happily, "Is it delicious, if it's delicious, I'll stew it for you tomorrow." ”
"Don't stew it yet, since this thing is like the big supplement you said, what should I do if it makes up for me? You and Qingxia are both pregnant now, and it's impossible for you to do that kind of thing with me. Aren't you afraid to make up for me and find other women outside? Xu Guanwu waved his hand.
When Zhao Yazhi heard this, she couldn't help but turn pale, "That's right, then let's change to rock sugar and stew bird's nest tomorrow, that soup is to go to the fire." ”
Xu Guanwu fell for a while!
……
The next day, Xu Guanwu accompanied Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia and sister-in-law Chen Jieying, and got up early to take a boat to Lantau Island.
Lantau Island is the largest island in Hong Kong, twice the size of Hong Kong Island, but because there are too many rocks on the island, there is too little flat land for development, so the development is relatively backward.
However, because of the slow development, the natural landscape is relatively well preserved, the forest vegetation coverage is very wide, and the Tai O fishing village enjoys the sunset in the best geography, and there are temples, caves, beaches, forests, etc. on the island, which is very suitable for leisure tourism. Therefore, it has become one of the must-visit tourist attractions for Hong Kong people every holiday.
Xu Guanwu: The temple they are going to this time is Po Lin Temple, which is the first of the four major Zen forests in Hong Kong. The temple was built in 1924, and after several years of painstaking management, it is full of palaces and majestic atmospheres. In addition, it is deep in the mountains of Lantau Island, the environment is quiet, the air is fresh, and it is far away from the world, so it is a place for believers to burn incense and worship Buddha, as well as a place for a short period of retreat.
Fasting on Lantau Island has also become a common practice for Buddhists in Hong Kong. Although Xu Guanwu does not believe in gods and Buddhas, his sister-in-law believes in it very much, and his parents are also religious. Since Hong Kong was developed from a fishing port before, fishermen go out to sea to fish because of the poor conditions and the fact that there are many disasters at sea, so they are generally very superstitious.
Therefore, in Hong Kong, there are many believers like Mazu, Wong Tai Sin, Che Gong, Guanyin, Guandi, etc., and these believers often do not only believe in a single god and Buddha, but basically hold the idea that there is a temple to worship and see the Buddha burn incense. Therefore, there is an endless stream of people who go to Lantau Island to eat and worship Buddha. (To be continued......)
