Meng Yao faced the old man in front of him, and through these two meetings, he felt that he was really as his mother said, just like a loving father, which made his heart warm.

Thinking back to her mother's long sigh for her, the tears under the kerosene lamp, and the more she drank the millet porridge, the more mushy she became. Mengyao was thoughtful, and was already a little full, so he pushed the lunch box to Erxi.

"It's getting cold, you can eat some, you have to work in a while." After Mengyao finished speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and in Erxi's eyes, he was full of charm, like a white dry cigarette to be smoked, which could arouse the thoughts in his heart.

Erxi's big and small eyes flashed brightly, "No, no, you eat, you eat." ”

"I'm full." Dream is close to bland words.

After repeated verification, Erxi began to gobble up, ate the corner of the sugar cake, and drank the porridge like a wind. Looking at Meng Yao's cheeks, suddenly he slowed down again, if he ate quickly, he would immediately go to the construction site to send workers, and he would not see Meng Yao, and he would disappear like lightning.

Suddenly recalled the dream, the dream disappeared without a trace at the bow of the ship, as if he had never come to this world, like a breeze blowing on his face, and he would not exist after a second of brushing. And those who continue to be gentle and close to their faces are no longer the traces of the early ones.

Thinking of this, Erxi's heart ached, and after the pain, he was sick and empty, so he simply ate slowly. The teeth that were not very good were even more stuffed with debris, so he was also deliberately elegant.

Erxi, who was unshaven, quietly tightened her little hand under the table.

He wants to accompany her, even if it is a dream in front of him, he will have to do it for a long time, and it is not in vain that he has guarded his body for many years. Although he is in his forties, he is also a big boy. In the morning, I was busy until half past ten, and hurriedly looked for Mengyao who was peeling potatoes in the kitchen.

Meng Yao smiled at the carpenter's daughter-in-law, put down the potatoes, and ran to Erxi.

Erxi blinked mysteriously, he had sworn to the stars last night, and he was going to visit the shopping malls in Beijing today and solemnly buy some clothes. Of course, she is happy from the inside out, through these two observations, she feels that the old man who is dozens of years older is actually not so scary, the man earns money to support the family on the construction site, and the woman is responsible for being beautiful like a flower, which seems to be nothing wrong.

Today, he didn't tie the white scarf, and he was dressed like in the past, with a Lei Feng hat and a green army, a pair of velvet cotton shoes under his feet, and the white edge was also kicked in front.

Leave the construction site and take the subway.

It was very windy under the subway, and Mengyao's hair was lifted. The corners of the padded clothes also suddenly floated, which seemed cool. She was still wearing a mask, but on the subway, she attracted attention again, although there were not many people in the carriage.

After getting out of the subway, half an hour later, there was a magnificent shopping mall in front of me, which said "Xidan Department Store".

Mengyao entered the mall, there were still not many people here, although it was noon, and he came to the face oil counter on the first floor.

When she saw the glass case, her heart suddenly warmed, and there was a delicate mussel there, elegant and noble in the light, and she didn't have time to look at the price...... Erxi immediately pointed out the mussel to the salesperson.

The price is marked on it, take out the money, the salesman smiled and folded it with brown paper, Mengyao easily took the milky white mussel, in fact, she didn't know what it was, only knew that it was a face oil or alabaster.

Walking up the wide staircase, and seeing the shoe counter, Mengyao pointed to a red leather shoe, with a thin little finger-thick heel, I remember that I have only seen it on the cover of "Popular Movie", and the cover of Hong Kong and Taiwan magazines, this one is extremely beautiful.

Erxi was scared when she saw this modern model, if she wore this, the movie stars would give way, and they would definitely be able to beat Jiang Lili. But when I looked at the label, I was dumbfounded, and the price was clearly marked at 98 yuan.

My mother, it's so expensive, it's up to the price of a pig in my hometown. I worked hard, tired to death on the construction site, only 5,000 a year, and because my brother was the foreman, I gave more shares, and ordinary brothers can earn 3,000 is good.

Erxi rolled and weighed in his heart.

But after a second thought, he asked, "Then will you marry me as soon as possible?" ”

Because Erxi felt that these expensive clothes were also the four major items of marriage at that time - foreign cars, watches, sewing machines, and tweed coats.

At present, the shoes are close to 100 yuan.

It is also close to a large piece, after all, a tweed coat or bicycle is about 200 yuan, and the quality is almost 300. For example, permanent brand and flying pigeon brand bicycles, these two 28 cars are about this price, and now there is also a women's oblique beam kun car, which is specially designed for beautiful women who wear skirts.

But if you buy a car, you won't buy an oblique beam if you die.

Because it is not affordable in the rural hometown, there is no place to put the pack of food, it is just an embroidered pillow-like goods, bearing a little weight, and the squeak and dingle will fall apart. Obviously, Kunche was designed for the tsundere lady with a solid family background, and the lords who didn't touch the spring water and didn't know the value of firewood and rice went to buy flashy and unrealistic goods.

At present, Erxi has already saved enough money to marry his daughter-in-law, including the engagement, but there is no more, and he also wants to renovate the family's old house, and he still needs at least 10,000 yuan, so the money still can't be spent indiscriminately.

The dream was far away, and the pleasure that had just flashed suddenly disappeared, and it became a little dignified, which was extremely incommensurate with her age. Remembering his mother's advice and late-night crying before leaving, his eyelashes trembled, "I thought about it, if it's fast, May Day." ”

"Oh, that's good!"

Erxi was excited, his eyebrows and beard moved, and his white lips began to tremble. He decided to buy this pair and waved his hand to greet the salesperson in the blue sleeves. The salesman hurriedly came over, looked at them, old and young, and thought that the father had led his daughter to buy shoes, so he smiled and asked, "What size do you wear?" ”

“38。” Meng Yao lowered his head and reported timidly.

Because she knows the sky-high price of these shoes, after all, she only wears 5 yuan on her feet, and she used up her pocket money to buy them from the rural market. At this moment, these sky-high shoes, buy them, they are so expensive, the sky thunders and splits the sense of guilt, and the 100 yuan may be the annual living expenses of several people in the farmer's family. I don't want to buy it, but I really like it, and I want to leave it ruthlessly, but I can't let go of my heart and can't pull out my legs.

The salesperson bent down, rummaged through for a moment, and pulled out a delicate brown shoebox with a wide silver keyhole at the breathable hole.

Next to the keyhole, there is pen handwriting - cowhide shoes, size 38.

Lift the shoebox.

The salesman looked very solemn, carefully picked up one, the red leather was a little shiny, and the thin heel made people fiddle with it in their hands, and they were no longer willing to put it at their feet.

Skillfully pulled out the paper ball, and handed the shoes to Meng Yao.

Meng Yao sat on the seat of the chair, and there was a small green velvet blanket at his feet. Take off your shoes and wait for your white socks to kick your red heels. Hey! It's not too big, it's not too small, it's just right. There is also a layer of velvet in the red cowhide, which is very warm, and you don't want to take it off when you put it on.

In the end, I put both of them on and walked a few times on the dark green small velvet cushion, which felt very comfortable. Mengyao felt that he was more beautiful than a star at the moment, and his heart was refreshed, like a hand hugging the blue sky.

Erxi took out the scattered money.

Finally enough, the salesperson respectfully handed over the shoes. Meng Yao hurriedly took it with both hands, and he still couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

I still want to go to the third floor to have a look, but Erxi has no confidence, and he is drumming in his heart, because he doesn't even have the funds to eat dumplings at present. So, the two of them dared to go to the third floor again, where there were autumn coats and trousers and gray-black cotton jackets.

Mengyao looked left and right, and only picked out an autumn coat and autumn pants, exactly 8 pieces, which were also wrapped in paper. Suddenly, I turned my head and found a cluster of colorful scarves hanging in the corner of the counter in the distance, "I also want a red scarf." ”

After speaking, Mengyao lifted the red-colored scarf again, looking at the colors and patterns of the covered scarves, some of which were woven into gold threads, and some of which were horizontally striped, embroidered with bamboo leaves...... Fingertips lightly touched the material, and it seemed that she had a soft spot for any one, but she could see that the other party was unhappy.

Erxi did have a liver ache.

"$5."

The salesman folded the red scarf and wrapped it in a brown piece of straw paper.

Meng Yao took it and carefully put it in the bag.

Erxi carried his pocket, decisively went down the stairs, and ran directly out of the gate of Xidan Shopping Mall in one breath, and quickly came to the subway station.

Erxi suddenly said, "Take the car to the Xiangshan Temple and interpret the dream." ”

"Dream interpretation? Do you have a dream and go to Xiangshan to solve it? "The first time I heard about it, Mengyao was confused, how to make a dream and be so particular?

Erxi is also inconvenient to say, anyway, he is determined to go, and the most important thing is that the protagonist of this dream is Meng Yao, about the dream of being careful with the liver, he is worth going.

Seeing Erxi's suddenly serious demeanor, it was hard to say anything, so he let it go. Go down the stairs and get off the subway, bypassing the old man who begs at the corner. Meng Yao took a look, quickly took out 2 steel plates, and threw them into the bowl.

Erxi didn't say anything, but the boss in his heart was not happy, he faintly thought, such a big spending, will he live a good life in the future? In the future, I must talk to her and resolutely change it.

Continue walking, and in an instant you will be underground, and a gust of cold wind will roll in your face.

There are many empty seats in the subway, this time, Mengyao sat down, and happily leaned his head on his shoulder, and the subway hummed for a long time before he arrived in Xiangshan. Spiraling up at the foot of Xiangshan, in less than an hour, there is a magnificent temple in front of you.

"Don't go in yet." Erxi suddenly felt uneasy, not only that, but also took off the Lei Feng hat and buckled it on the top of Mengyao's head.

"Wear it, I'm afraid that the yin energy here is too heavy, and my hat is full of yang energy that can be dissolved."

Mengyao, who was less than 18 years old, was shocked when he heard it. Hurriedly and obediently hid behind a maple tree, blocked herself with a big stone, and pulled down the ear guards on both sides of her hat, not caring about the oily smell and choking her nose, she frowned tightly, and waved her hand in a panic to signal that she would go back quickly. Then he squatted down with his neck and tied himself into a corner with shelter on three sides.

Erxi turned around and walked towards the door.

Looking at the red temple from afar, it is covered by the dark green ancient wood, the blue brick courtyard wall, simple and natural without losing the solemnity, people say that Buddhism is a blessed land, and it is indeed the case at first glance.

Follow the bluestone paved path.

The trail is cobbled and leads far away. Both sides are planted with flowers and plants, and the unknown and rare trees around are stretching out. After a long meandering, he stopped at the table.

The little monk in a gray monk's robe greeted him: "Donor." ”

"Buy incense." As soon as the words fell, Erxi ruthlessly took out 5 yuan, and the little monk respectfully handed over three sticks of incense, "Donor, please come with me, please come here." ”

Entered the temple, the incense smoke is swirling, the top of the temple is covered with glaze, the gold is splendid, the roof ridge is carved with the portrait of many ancients, although I don't know who it is, but each is fairy wind and bones, the clothes are fluttering, lifelike.

In the middle, there was an old monk with his eyes slightly closed, twisting Buddhist beads in his hands, and sitting on a futon.

"Dream interpretation."
