Chapter 106: Prayer
On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Miao Yiheng and Gu Xiaodi stayed in the villa to keep the year.
The second elder of the Mu family and Miao Yiheng rested very early, after all, they were old and couldn't stay up late.
Hao Tong kept shouting that he wanted to follow Gu Xiaodi and them to keep vigil together, but he fell asleep at ten o'clock. After all, he is young, and drowsiness comes quickly.
Gu Xiaodi and Mu Yang kept watch until the bell rang at 0:00 before they began to wash and sleep.
After all, this is the first New Year after the two of them get married, and both of them attach great importance to it.
Before going to bed, Gu Xiaodi teased Mu Yang again: "Mr. Mu, I remember that you didn't drink much at Yaya's house last year, and you were drunk. Co-author, you used to fool me? ”
Mu Yang's face was as tender as water: "Hey, Madam is really sharp-eyed, you have seen this." If you don't use a little trick as a husband, how can you chase you? ”
Gu Xiaodi pouted: "I'm good at chasing, okay?" It was as if you had suffered a lot. ”
Muyang lamented: "How do I feel as if I have crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains? ”
Gu Xiaodi was amused and laughed: "You only flipped through a small hill, and I obediently raised the flag and surrendered." Let's be honest, how much can you really drink? ”
Muyang: "What do you mean?" Madame really wants to get me drunk? ”
Gu Xiaodi: "I want to see your real amount of alcohol." I'm really looking forward to it, what are you like when you're really drunk? ”
Muyang: "Well, that's a bit difficult. At least two bottles of Wuliangye, plus two bottles of red wine. ”
Gu Xiaodi exclaimed: "Sample, the amount of wine is so good?" On the day of your wedding, you were ridiculed by Han Shengwen like that, not revealing your true kung fu. ”
Mu Yang smiled evilly: "I was thinking about my wife." With such a beautiful day, how can I let my wife stay alone in the empty room? ”
Gu Xiaodi scolded with a smile: "Hooligans." ”
Muyang: "Well, I want to be a hooligan tonight too." ”
After speaking, when Gu Xiaodi didn't react, he kissed it with a tender face.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Muyang drove the seven-seater Daben business car and drove the family to the temple an hour's drive away from the Mu family's villa to pray for blessings.
When I arrived at the temple, it was nine o'clock in the morning, and the parking lot was already full of cars.
Gu Xiaodi didn't expect that there would be so many people who came to pray with them on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Muyang went to buy tickets for the family before and after running.
When they entered the temple, they were given three sticks of incense to each of them.
Gu Xiaodi couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that she didn't need to bring incense, and then patted her bulging pocket of change, fortunately, she was more wise.
Gu Xiaodi poured out all the coins in the piggy bank at home yesterday, and there were hundreds of them, she really came to pray sincerely today. She now believes very much in the saying that "there are gods three feet above the head".
After entering the temple, Gu Xiaodi had an indescribable thought circling in her heart, that kind of thought made her feel like crying, and she didn't know why?
The temple is famous in H City, and it is said that prayer is very effective. As long as the heart is sincere, it will be spiritual.
After Gu Xiaodi walked into the courtyard of the temple, he told Hao Tong beside him not to speak loudly, not to speak openly, and to pray sincerely.
Hao Tong was naturally obedient, but Muyang laughed at her for being too nervous.
Gu Xiaodi looked at the courtyard of the temple, there were many rich lords who wore gold and silver, and there were also many people with high academic qualifications like them.
Everyone was praying sincerely, with a serious face and muttering in their mouths.
The second elder of the Mu family and Miao Yiheng took Hao Tong and muttered to the little couple, and then went to the temple one by one to kneel and pray for blessings.
Gu Xiaodi pulled Muyang, lit those incense burners by the incense burner, and in the crowd in the courtyard of the temple, he began to pray in the four directions of southeast, west, and northwest, praying to the immortals from all walks of life one by one.
After the ceremony, Gu Xiaodi took Muyang's hand again, began to enter those temples, and closed his eyes one by one in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the mother who sent his son, and bowed down sincerely.
Every time he knelt down, Gu Xiaodi would throw some money into the side of those incense burners. Mu Yang and Gu Xiaodi's ten fingers were tightly interlocked, and they were full of sincerity towards every great immortal.
By the time the two of them came out of the temples, it was ten o'clock in the middle of the day.
The two elders of the Mu family, Miao Yiheng and Tong Tong, were already waiting for the two of them at the door.
After a group of people met, they went to a somen restaurant next to the temple to eat noodles under the shouting of the two elders of the Mu family.
In other words, when the second elder of the Mu family was young, he often came here to pray for blessings.
--
The somen noodles are quite delicious. It should be said that Gu Xiaodi is so big, and the best somen noodles he has eaten for the first time can even surpass those delicacies of the mountains and seas that he usually eats.
It is full of various mushrooms, as well as noodles made from raw materials such as fungus. Authentic and delicious.
Seeing Gu Xiaodi's gobbling appearance, Muyang couldn't help but call another bowl for her.
Gu Xiaodi looked at the second elder of the Mu family sitting at the next table, and said embarrassedly: "I can't eat so much." ”
Muyang smiled: "It's okay, we can eat as much as we want, we can't finish eating." ”
Old Madam Mu smiled: "It's a blessing to be able to eat." This noodle is really delicious. ”
Gu Xiaodi smiled embarrassedly: "I also think it's delicious, and I can't help but have a big appetite." ”
As he spoke, he began to eat the second bowl amid the laughter of everyone.
Finally, the second bowl is also a bowl of clean soup.
Seeing this, Muyang teased again: "Who said it just now, you can't finish eating?" ”
Gu Xiaodi was embarrassed and said: "I'm afraid of waste." ”
Muyang: "Well, if you eat it, that's called a real waste." ”
Gu Xiaodi: "Who said that I can eat enough, I can still eat another bowl believe it or not?" ”
Mu Yang pretended to exclaim: "Madame hasn't eaten yet? Do you want another bowl? ”
After Mrs. Mu and Miao Yiheng heard this, they couldn't help but look at Gu Xiaodi and said, "In front of your family, what is there to restrain yourself?" You can eat as much as you want, and if you're not full, have another bowl. ”
Gu Xiaodi immediately smiled awkwardly: "No, I'm full, I'm joking with Yangyang." ”
After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Muyang again.
Muyang immediately relieved the siege and said: "She has a small appetite, and two bowls today are the limit." ”
Everyone laughed again.
--
In the end, at Muyang's suggestion, they went to the God of Wealth Temple.
The Temple of Wealth is at the top of that mountain, and if you want to get to the Temple of Wealth, you have to take a cable car.
Gu Xiaodi and Muyang went together to buy tickets for the cable car, and the group set off towards the top of the mountain.
The people seeking wealth in the temple of the God of Wealth are also blocked and impassable.
Seeing this, the second elder of the family and Miao Yiheng said: "We are old, so we won't go in with you, just go in and bow down for a while, we will wait at the door." ”
Hao Tong also nodded, he was going to wait outside the door with his grandparents and grandmother.
After Mu Yang heard this, he took Gu Xiaodi's hand and walked into the Temple of Wealth together.
In the Temple of Wealth, there are people who draw lots to calculate wealth, and there are also people who write to calculate wealth.
Gu Xiaodi and Mu Yang didn't go to draw lots, nor did they go to write to calculate their fortune, but when the two of them knelt down in front of the immortals of each God of Wealth Temple one by one to ask for money, they invested a little money.
After the ceremony, as soon as he walked out of the lobby of the God of Wealth, Gu Xiaodi muttered in his heart: "Today, we are considered to have completed our merits." ”
She happily looked at Muyang beside her again, took his hand and walked out.
She prayed for the most blessings today, that is, she could give birth to a handsome, smart, and beloved boy for the Mu family, instead of a daughter.
Although she likes her daughter, she can't be too selfish. After all, the Mu family only has one child, Muyang, and they still have to pass on the ancestry.
Second, what she prayed for the most was that the family was safe and happy.
The third is to let her and Muyang grow old together for a long time.
She didn't know what blessing Muyang prayed for? But what she can be sure of is that every blessing of Muyang is related to her, and when she thought of this, she couldn't help but look at Muyang beside her with affection.
She feels that life is like some good, and it will be even better in the future. She was satisfied.
That night, Gu Xiaodi had a very fantasy dream.
She dreamed of her mother and asked her if she wanted a boy or a girl.
She vaguely remembered that she had said a word about boys. She saw her mother smile at her and gave her a large bamboo cage, which seemed to tell her that her child was in the cage, and she saw two large pythons, one thick and one thin.
She vaguely remembered that she was very happy and rushed home with the bamboo cage in her arms, without any fear at all.
While she was running hard, Muyang's mobile phone rang suddenly, and she opened her eyes suddenly, and found that the sky was already bright, and it turned out that it was a dream just now.
She woke up and told Muyang very suspiciously that she had just had a very strange and mysterious dream.
Muyang smiled and asked her what it was?
She smiled and said she'd tell him later.
Because she wasn't sure if her dream was true or false?
--
After the Spring Festival, Muyang was only responsible for sending Hao Tong out of school, and the heavy responsibility of picking up Hao Tong after school fell on Miao Yiheng.
Miao Yiheng gradually integrated into their small family, and burned them three meals a day according to the recipes formulated by Muyang every day, and was very busy.
Such a day has come to March in the blink of an eye. And Gu Xiaodi's stomach was still flat and motionless, and Miao Yiheng couldn't help but get anxious.
So, on the evening of March 9, 2019, Miao Yiheng called Gu Xiaodi to his room for interrogation.
Miao Yiheng: "Could it be that the blessing is not effective?" Why isn't your stomach moving at all?
Gu Xiaodi: "Mom, we haven't started yet." Muyang said that it should be in early summer, so that I will not feel uncomfortable doing confinement in the coming year. ”
Miao Yiheng smiled and said: "I think you two are not smart when you should be smart, but confused, when do you say you want it?" When will he come? Think beautifully. ”
Gu Xiaodi: Isn't "......" a matter of course?
However, she didn't plan it when she first wanted to be a child, so she went with the flow, but she couldn't remember it clearly.
Miao Yiheng looked at Gu Xiaodi's puzzled look and smiled: "Silly girl, this also depends on the mood and the situation." ”
Gu Xiaodi was shy: "Mom, I know, you don't have to worry, don't worry." ”
With that, he walked out.
At night, the words reached Muyang's ears.
After hearing this, Mu Yang couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "This is too underestimating my efficiency." ”
