Bitterness and piety

The nearly half-month trip was coming to an end, and the writing was nearing the end, and they decided to go to the more important places in the guide to draw an end to the final journey.

Yiyu felt that this was something that could rarely be experienced in life, and she once felt that she could only live in that small world. What happened now gave her some new insights.

They went to a temple, and in Yiyu's impression, the temple was sacred and solemn. The statue was carefully carved into the house, and she even felt that once she stepped into it, she had to be absolutely religious, and that she could not have any other emotions than seriousness, otherwise it would be insincere to her faith.

But when she stepped into the temple, although most of the people in front of her were cautiously bowing. But it's also the atmosphere of tourists. The trees were as red as she imagined.

It's probably all the prayers of the people. She thought.

And they went into the house, and the idol was tall, enclosing the four corners of the house. She didn't know which one to visit. Looking blankly at the people around him, some people closed their eyes and knelt in front of the brown and yellow sitting, and some people only glanced at it a few times and walked to the back.

For a moment she couldn't make up her mind, but she didn't dare to speak, she always felt that speaking out would be disrespectful.

"Do you want to say a goodbye?" On the contrary, Bai Yi'an spoke up and asked her softly.

"Bye-on......" She hadn't bowed down like this formally, and she didn't quite know what to look right for. She felt a little awkward, but she didn't dare not worship.

It seemed that seeing the reason for her hesitation, Bai Yi'an started to demonstrate. He slowly knelt down and folded his hands. Yiyu also did the same, and the sitting was not soft, but since she knelt in front of the statue, she had to pray sincerely.

She slowly folded her hands and closed her eyes, trying to isolate herself from the noise of the whispers of the people around her, and the sound of the temple people who seemed to be chanting.

The heart slowly calmed down, silently thinking in my heart.

The shoulder was gently patted, she opened her eyes, and Bai Yi'an tapped the door lightly with her fingers, signaling her to go.

She stood up, Bai Yi'an helped her, and walked out together.

Walking outside, Yiyu felt as if she was allowed to speak, she thought of Bai Yi'an's demonstration of kneeling just now, and couldn't help but ask him: "Have you ever bowed in the temple before?" Look at how skilled you look. ”

Bai Yi'an looked at her and smiled: "No, in fact, there are no fixed rules and rituals, as long as you do it sincerely." ”

"Huh?" Yiyu didn't expect such an answer, at that time she tried to imitate his appearance, and she was afraid that what she did was not standardized enough.

"I think you're too nervous, it's not necessary."

"Want to write that tree creed?" Bai Yi'an asked her.

"Where's that red creed? Do you want to ask for it? Yiyu looked at the tree, looked around, and found no red cloth.

"I don't know, let's find out."

Later, they saw a small shop in a corner of the temple that appeared to have a wad of red cloth hanging inside.

Sitting alone in the store, bored knocking melon seeds to pass the time.

Bai Yi'an stepped forward and asked, "How do you get that red cloth hanging on the tree?" ”

"Ten dollars a piece, a few." The store didn't say much.

Bai Yi'an looked at me, "One is enough." ”

"Okay, ten bucks." The shopkeeper ripped off a strip of red cloth from the hook.

Bai Yi'an paid the money, holding the red cloth strip, and the store didn't explain anything else to him, so did he have to bring his own pen to write?

Yiyu motioned for him to come over, and there was a table at the door of the store, and there were a few black gel pens randomly placed in an old pen holder, most of the pen caps no longer knew where they had flown to, and there were only a few refills left, and the writing was not smooth.

Yiyu tried carefully and found the best pen to write. "Why don't you write first?" She handed the pen to Bai Yi'an.

He didn't shirk, and took a pen and wrote down a few words: I hope the travelogue will sell well!

His handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and although the ink is not smooth, it can be seen that his handwriting is good. When I used to study, it was rare to see a boy who could write a few words very standardly.

Yiyu also took a pen and wrote carefully on the back: Everything went well, and the travel diary could be successfully concluded.

She handed the written strip of red cloth to Bai Yi'an, Bai Yi'an was relatively tall, and she could tie it to a higher branch as much as possible.

I have heard a saying before: the closer you get to the sun, the easier it is to fulfill your wishes.

After the temple visit, their journey was almost over.

Bai Yi'an said that he wanted to go to Grandma alone, after all, he didn't know when he would meet again next time.

"Okay." also depressed, Grandma is a very kind and warm person. She also wanted to meet her old man.

At that time, I heard from Grandma that it was usually a repeat customer who patronized her business, and it was usually older who came to drink tea and chat to pass the time. There are not a few fresh faces. She is also older, but she is also idle.

When Grandma saw them, she was smiling again, and it was dinner time, so she strongly invited them to have dinner at home. Since it was a separation, they didn't want to postpone it.

Grandma's home is quite close to the teahouse, it didn't take too long to walk, although the home is not big, but it is clean and tidy.

"What do you all like to eat?" Grandma bought some side dishes, I don't know if you like to eat them. Grandma moved out the fan from the inner bedroom, and Bai Yi'an quickly reached out and took it.

"Grandma, you can do whatever you want, we don't pick your mouth." He said.

Grandma looked in Yiyu's direction, "I mainly asked this little daughter what she wanted to eat, and you didn't have anything else to eat." ”

Yiyu looked at Grandma and smiled: "Grandma, I won't pick it." ”

"Okay, I'll cook, you can sit and watch TV."

"Grandma, I'll give you a hand, although I don't know how to do anything." Yiyu stood up.

"Okay, I have something to tell you." Grandma took out some green vegetables, "Help me wash them, choose one." ”

She walked to the kitchen and gently dusted off the dirt with the greens. Place under the tap to wash. "Grandma, this dish is very fresh."

"Yes, you live in the city, and you can't buy too fresh food in the supermarket there, but I bought it from my fellow villagers and picked it every day." Grandma smiled and took out half of the chicken from the refrigerator. "I only make this occasionally, so I put it in the refrigerator to freeze, and today, I just took this opportunity to make it for you to eat."

"The greens are washed, where do you put them?" Yiyu asked.

"Oh, there's an empty plate there." Grandma pointed to the side.

"What do you think of Bai Yi'an's child?" Grandma asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Yiyu felt that it was too sudden, and was stunned for a while and said, "We haven't known each other for long. He was the editor in charge of my manuscript. ”

"Xiao An's child, he is really stubborn and persistent, don't look at him like that, in fact, he is also bitter in his heart." Grandma cut some green onions and ginger.

Bitter, Yiyu listened, could it be that he had something hidden in his heart?

"This kid treats me like a kid I am. In my life, it's because of him that I feel that I have a sustenance. ”

Grandma's tone trembled slightly, as if she saw a little light in her eyes, but it was fleeting.

"Where's Ah Gong?" Yiyu asked.

"He's gone early, leaving me alone." Although the words were all dissatisfied, Grandma's tone did not blame.

Grandma fried some vegetables and made a dry pot chicken. The smell fills the room.

As soon as the dish is served, three people gather around the table, and there is a feeling of home.

"It's been a long time since so many people have eaten with me, I'm happy today, so I'll replace wine with tea, let's have a glass." The joy in Grandma's eyes couldn't be concealed at all.

The three of them clinked glasses, and the meal was homely and happy, and the more delicate scenes in reality often did not resonate with people. The more everyday the picture, the more touching it is.

After they left, Grandma had tears in her eyes, "You have time to come and see, don't forget my mother-in-law." ”

Bai Yi'an secretly put an envelope in Grandma's house and pressed it under an iron box, Yiyu knew that he wanted to make Grandma live better through a little material, and he also wanted to make himself feel a little more at ease.

They discussed it for a while in the evening, and were going to write down such a scene and put it in their travelogue.

The next morning's train and the afternoon's return, Bai Yi'an said they still had some follow-up to complete.

Yiyu wanted to go to the convenience store first and tell Zhao Ke that she had bought some distinctive things in the tourist place, after all, she was asking someone to help, and she was a little reluctant not to send something.

I haven't been to the convenience store these days, and Yiyu feels a little strange, there is a girl who is a high school student standing there in the store, it should be Zhao Ke's cousin.

The girl saw her, "What do you need to buy?" "It seems that he thinks of her as a customer.

"I'm looking for Zhao Ke." Yiyu said.

"Oh, my brother, what are you looking for him?" The girl was very cautious and didn't say much.

"I also worked at this convenience store, and I was the one who asked your brother to help me with the shift." Yiyu explained.

"Oh! It turns out that you are the sister. Her tone softened, "It's not his work time yet." Wait a minute, it should be soon. ”

"Okay, I'll do it with you, and wait for him by the way." Yiyu walked to the front desk and fastened his apron.

She took out the souvenirs she bought, "Is there anything you want in this, pick and choose." Thanks to you for helping me substitute. ”

"Really? You're welcome. She picked it carefully.

This girl's first impression of Yiyu is that cheerful type, and she has probably not suffered any setbacks in her usual life, and she looks a little innocent and cute.

After a while, Zhao Ke came and was startled when he saw her.

"I'm here because I still have some things to deal with, so I have to ask your sister to work for a few days." Yiyu said. "I bought these at the tourist place, and I took them as a thank you."

"Okay, you can take care of your book first." Zhao Ke agreed.

"Hey brother, you haven't asked me what I mean, why did you agree." The girl protested on the side.

Yiyu smiled, "Can you ask my sister to help my sister with this?" ”

"Okay, okay, anyway, I don't want to go back too early to listen to my mother's nagging, but it's a beautiful sister."

"Thank you." Yiyu looked at them, "Then I'll deal with it first." ”

"Okay, bye-bye."
