Chapter 157: Returning to the Vulgar

Crying seems to be a never-ending ritual when reuniting lost loved ones.

Whether you cry and your eyes are blurred by tears, or your nose is tangled in your mouth, there is no embarrassment, no calculation, and no consideration of the thoughts of bystanders. They are so devoted, so selfless, and some, all of them cry with joy when they meet again.

Come to think of it, only crying can vent the suffering and difficulty experienced for so many years in order to reunite.

Looking at Xue Dan, who was calm but obviously making waves, and the Zhu couple who were so excited that they couldn't be more excited, the wise monk didn't know how to act for a while. said that the four are empty, in fact, to put it bluntly, monks are also people.

Before becoming a Buddha, there was no difference between the physical mortal and ordinary people, but they were just better at restraint.

And some things, the more restrained they are, the more they will explode at a specific time, such as emotions.

Why would he risk being spurned by the temples of the world and trying to generate income? Why did he demand strict management of the Big Buddha Temple and introduce corresponding measures to serve according to class? Only by doing so can he maximize his wealth and receive more children from poor families.

If he hadn't been fatherless and motherless, he wouldn't have come to this temple.

Therefore, seeing the undisguised enthusiasm of Zhu and Xue Laohan, a strange feeling rose in the wisdom monk's heart. He thought that he had put his feelings aside a long time ago and almost forgotten about it, but he still haunted it in his heart like this.

Do you have to go down the mountain to find your relatives?

Thinking of this, Monk Huiyuan hurriedly clasped his hands together and recited the sentence "Amitabha". It's just that several people thought he was reading for them, but who knew that he was just reading for himself.

After crying, the emotions of several people stabilized a lot, and Zhu pulled Xue Laohan to thank the wise monk: "Thank you Abbot for taking my son." If it weren't for you, he wouldn't know where he had gone at this moment. ”

The wise monk originally wanted to say that no matter who it was, as long as it was not a great traitor, he would take it in. It's just that, after thinking about it, he said, "That's also because we have fate." It's just that today, it seems that this fate is about to be broken. Let's go all of you. ”

So saying, he got up and went out. Only then can he leave first. He didn't want to get involved in the rest anymore.

If someone sees him crying bitterly or something, it will spread throughout the county in a few days. When the time comes, others will not say that he has compassion, but will only scold him for not having six purified roots, and he will not be worthy of the abbot.

It's a terrible situation to think about.

Seeing the wise monk leaving, Xue Dan hurriedly bowed respectfully. It's just that it took half a sound to react, and after today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to salute like this again. It's just that he's really going to be vulgar?

Although Ai and Xue Xueyi were also excited, they were bystanders after all, so they were more calm than the Zhu couple.

Seeing that there were only a few people left in the house at this moment, all of them were his own people, Ai Shi said: "This child looks so thin, poor one, come to the eldest mother." With that, Ai took the opportunity to check the top of Xue Dan's head.

She remembered clearly that Xue Dan had two spins on the top of his head since he was born.

As a result, at this glance, Ai was a little stunned, there was only one spin on the top of Xue Dan's head, which was not at all what she expected. Originally, seeing Xue Dan's appearance, Ai Shi was a little suspicious, after all, except for that bag, there were really no details that could prove his identity.

So, with a hint of luck, he always felt that people would change when they grew up, and it didn't matter if they didn't look like them, as long as the other characteristics were still there.

However, now that even the spin on the top of the head is gone, how can this be explained? Could this be the wrong person? If you want to talk about the vortex above her head, her sons and daughters have it, but it has not changed until now.

This thought made Ai Shi shiver in his heart.

If so, what then?

Seeing Ai Shi in a daze, Zhu thought she was overjoyed, so he also pulled Xue Dan in his arms and stroked him, and said, "Son, my mother has finally found you." It's okay to be thin, just go home and make up for it for you. ”

As she spoke, she touched Xue Dan's face again, with a loving expression.

Xue Laohan was also a little excited and a little cramped and stepped forward to pull Xue Dan's hand, and seeing that Xue Dan did not resist, he approached next to Xue Dan as if he was encouraged by something.

The three of them were close to each other like this, which made Ai's heart more and more uneasy. It's just that she didn't say anything after all. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, as long as Zhu thinks it is right, then it will be fine.

She no longer wanted the couple to continue on the run.

Thinking of this, he endured the words in his stomach.

In this way, several people slowly walked back. Originally, the three of them walked hand in hand, but in some narrow places, they were not allowed to walk together. So Xue Laohan took the initiative to let go, letting Zhu take his son's hand and continue to move forward, while he followed behind, refusing to leave a single step.

The few people looked for the car again and went home happily.

It's just that the apprehension and sadness when I came were swept away, and some were just the joy of reunion. Except, of course, Ehrlich.

After returning home, Zhu went to cook happily.

She first went to Ai's house to get some rice and noodles, and then supported Xue Laohan to go to the town to buy meat. Xue Laohan answered, but saw Xue Dan sitting alone in the room in a daze.

So he stepped forward and took Xue Dan's hand and said, "Son, let's go, go to the town with my father to buy meat, let's make meat for lunch and eat, do you say okay?" ”

Hearing about eating meat, Xue Dan instinctively felt a little disgusted in his heart. In the past ten years, even when he and Yin Ping were wandering outside, he did not eat meat and break his vows. Now that he has left the temple, he can eat it.

However, this is an instinct, a kind of resistance, and he feels that he does not like meat, and he does not want to eat meat.

However, he didn't want to refuse Xue Laohan either, because he looked at himself, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

So, Xue Dan stood up obediently and followed Xue Laohan out to buy meat. When Zhu saw such a scene, his heart was even more joyful.

She couldn't understand Xue Laohan's temper very well, and in her current words, she was sullen. Although I don't like to talk much, I actually know it very well in my heart.

Although the son looked dull and mumu, it was also because he had lived in the temple for a long time, so it would be good to go home and live for a while.

Zhu suddenly felt that his life had a head, and he felt that he could live with peace of mind. And the past ten years have been unsteady, like floating in the air, with no roots and nowhere to live.

Now that I think about it, Xue Dan is their root.

The same flour, the same vegetables and vegetables, Zhu Shi cooked quickly, but he felt a different feeling, that is, happiness.

However, on the other hand, in Ai's family, the situation is very different. How to say, since he came back from the Big Buddha Temple, Ai has been dumbfounded, wooden, and doesn't know what to do.

To say, or not to say!

Speaking of which, the Zhu family must be uncomfortable, and maybe they will continue to go out to look for it and continue to wander. Let's not talk about it, the bloodline can't be confused.

However, Xue Xueyi found out that something was wrong with Ai, so he sat opposite her and asked seriously: "What's wrong with you, you have been stunned since the Big Buddha Temple, looking lost and depressed, what happened?" ”

Ai Shi woke up at this time, but said with some surprise: "Is it so obvious? I'm just thinking about things. ”

She felt that it was not as obvious as Xue Xueyi said.

Hearing this, Xue Xueyi said: "Of course there is, how many years have you and I been husband and wife, and I know your habits very well." Whenever something happens, you're like that. You can't hide anything in your heart. ”

Xue Xueyi said it well, Ai Shi is a person who can't hide things in her heart, she is unhappy, just look at her expression, she can see it at a glance, "If there is anything, you can just say it, say it and let's discuss it." ”

In Xue Xueyi's opinion, Ai's sluggishness is a bit weird, after all, today's scene should be happy, or ecstatic. The first time I went to the temple to find someone, she proposed it, and now that someone has found it, no matter how happy she is, at least it shouldn't be what she is now.

Hearing this, Ai Shi said with some hesitation: "The master, do you really want to say?" In fact, she is really not sure, and this idea is too shocking, she is afraid that if she says it, everyone will not accept it.

Xue Xueyi said: "Say it, there is nothing that can't be solved." Seeing him like this, his heart became more and more uneasy, and he always felt that something was going to happen.

With Xue Xueyi's encouragement, Ai Shi said, "I'm ...... I don't know where to start, but I think today's confession, the younger sister and the second brother are a little too hasty. You think, so far, there's nothing to prove the identity of that kid except that bag. I'll just ask you, do you think that kid looks like a second brother and a younger sibling? ”

Hearing this, Xue Xueyi's heart tightened, and his heart was really this thing, but what he said in his mouth was: "He is so young, naturally he doesn't remember, but what he said is right." As for the appearance, it is indeed not very similar, but it is not surprising, when people grow up, their appearance will change. ”

Hearing this, Ai immediately retorted: "Then look at our Dacheng and Qing'er, and even the two grandsons, which one of them is not like you." Speaking of which, how many years older than Dan'er is Dacheng, doesn't he look like you? ”

Hearing this, Xue Xueyi was a little inexplicably irritable.

Ai is right, Dacheng's child has looked like him since he was born, and now that he is older, not only has he not changed, but he is becoming more and more similar. Even if it was Xue Dan, he remembered it very clearly, when he was born, wasn't it like Zhu's!

It's not like that now, isn't it......

Unknowingly, the matter is not over yet, Ai Shi said: "There is one more thing, I also think it is strange. Didn't I just hug the kid, in fact, just to see the spin above his head. ”

"The result?" Xue Xueyi asked nervously.

He also knew that there were two spins on the top of Xue Dan's head, because there was a popular saying in the area of Qingshui Town, that is, the more spins on the top of the head, the more explosive and naughty a person's temper was.

For this reason, he also joked about Zhu's, saying that in the future, this child is afraid that he will be very naughty, but he is afraid that it will be difficult to discipline.

"There's only one." Ai said calmly.

With Xue Xueyi sharing this secret with her, she suddenly calmed down a lot.

Hearing this, Xue Xueyi became even more irritable. Even if a person's appearance changes, the spin on the top of the head should not change. Thinking of this, as if to prove his idea, Xue Xueyi shouted loudly: "Dacheng, Dacheng, you come in." ”

Ai naturally knew what Xue Xueyi wanted to do, in fact, she also wanted to prove the problem, so she looked forward to her son coming into the house.

Things like this are still believing.

Xue Dacheng was chopping firewood in the yard.

He also saw Xue Dan just now, and was happy for the reunion of Erniang's family, and thinking that their family had just been reunited, Erniang's family had been gone for a long time, and there was nothing in the house, so he wanted to chop some firewood and send it over.

That's the only thing I can help with.

Hearing Xue Xueyi call himself, Dacheng answered, wiped his sweat with a cloth towel, and then went into the house.

"Dad, what do you tell me to do. I'm chopping wood, and I'll send it to Erniang and them in a while......"

"Good boy. Okay, you come here, squat, I'll look at your head. Xue Xueyi said suddenly.

Although Xue Dacheng felt that this request was very strange, he still squatted down obediently and squatted beside Xue Xueyi's legs.

He was also curious about what his father was going to do.

It is said that when people get old, they become very strange, like children. Now it seems that this statement is true.

Seeing that Xue Dacheng was squatting, Xue Xueyi quickly leaned forward, grabbed his son's head with his hand and began to check, and when he saw this, he was immediately relieved. Ai also watched from the sidelines, but pouted and did not say anything.

"Bring that kid Dabao." Xue Xueyi is not dead yet.

Seeing that Xue Xueyi hadn't given up yet, Ai Shi said, "Forget it, you go out to work." Dabao is sleeping, don't wake him up. ”

Xue Dacheng went out in a daze.

Seeing that his son had gone out, Ai said, "See clearly." ”

In the middle of the sound, Xue Xueyi only said one word, "um", and never spoke again.

After another half a day, Fang Cai said: "No matter what, the second brother and younger siblings have identified the child, otherwise, let's pretend not to know." Whether it is biological or not, it is always a spiritual sustenance. You can see their happy looks. So, you must not go and tell them about it. ”

Ai felt that Xue Xueyi's words were quite reasonable. Whether it's true or not, as long as the Zhu couple admits it. On this point, the couple is surprisingly unanimous.

After all, this day belongs to others.

Xue Xueming took Xue Dan on the road, and met many acquaintances along the way. Either the villagers or the businessmen of the town. They heard the news of the return of Xue Laohan's family yesterday, but they didn't know anything about Xue Dan.

At this moment, seeing Xue Xueming holding the hand of a half-sized child, and the child was wooden, everyone's curiosity was instantly aroused. Of course, most people just greeted Xue Xueming, but they didn't take the initiative to ask who Xue Dan was.

Could it be that it was raised?

If it were, it would be a loss. Such an old child has long remembered things, and he can't raise a family at all.

However, they are not in a hurry to ask. Because they had a hunch, Xue Xueming, who was full of spring breeze, couldn't help but introduce this child first.

Sure enough, after greeting Xue Ergou, Xue Xueming said: "Ergou, this is my son, I just found home, no, I'll take it to the town to buy some meat and make a tooth sacrifice." ”

As he spoke, he said to Xue Dan: "Son, this is your second ...... Learn to become an uncle. ”

Hearing this, Xue Dan obediently called "Uncle Xuecheng".

Ergou asked with some surprise: "You said this is Danwazi?" Oh, my God! When did you find it, why haven't I heard of you? ”

Ergou's words represented the voices of everyone present, and they all wanted to ask this question. While praising Ergou in his heart, he was looking forward to Xue Xueming's answer.

That's what Xue Laohan was waiting for.

Hearing this, Xue Xueming said: "That's right, it's my Dan'er, my son, who just got it back today." In the future, I will ask all uncles and uncles to take care of this child. ”

Ergou suppressed the surprise in his heart and said, "This is natural, you just don't say that we will do the same." More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I think that at the beginning, when my sister-in-law came out to bask in the sun with this child, she was only a little older. ”

These words are both emotional and curious.

It's just that they know in their hearts that Xue Laohan is not ready to explain the ins and outs. But it's okay, this kind of thing is not a secret at all, and it will slowly come out. With Fan's presence, it is not difficult to inquire about this matter at all.

However, some people were very moved, and felt that it was not easy for Xue Laohan's family, the couple had been married for many years and had no success.

I don't know how long I didn't have time to be happy, the child was abducted by Hanako, and the couple were busy looking for the child every day, and they didn't even do the original baked cake business.

Now it's okay, the family is finally reunited.

After the father and son left, Ergou said: "That kid looks like he has changed, and he doesn't look like Xue Xueming at all." And looking dumbfounded, I don't know where I was abducted, I think I have suffered a lot of crimes. ”

"Yes, I must have suffered a lot."

"I think you're right, don't you see, that child's hair is so short, maybe it came out of the temple." Another person picks up.

"A monk is a monk, it's just vulgar, it's not a very simple thing, as long as people find it. Wait for the hair to grow up, and slowly it will be fine. ”

When the father and son returned home with the meat, Zhu's vegetarian dish was ready, and they were waiting to make the meat.

Seeing Xue Dan's empty hand, Zhu said: "You said why didn't you buy some snacks for your son, you forgot, he likes to eat that dried plum the most." At that time, I bought a lot of them, and he ate them all in one go......"

Hearing this, Xue Xueming said, "Yes, I forgot." Buy it again next time. I remember when he didn't have teeth, he put plums in his mouth and chewed them. That's not to mention how much fun it is......"

Listening to Zhu and Xue Laohan talking one by one, Xue Dan has never felt so lonely. If just now he was like a moving puppet being dragged around by Xue Laohan for exhibition, then now he is a bit like an outsider.

Listening to the two Zhu family talking about their childhood, he didn't remember anything at all, as if it was just a story. It's just that this story is far less interesting than those in the Buddhist scriptures.

When he was in the Nameless Temple, although there were only four people in the whole temple, he never felt lonely. Now, after sitting silently, he finally understands that he is happy on the surface, but he is lonely inside.

If Ye Feng was here at this moment, he would fully understand Xue Dan's feelings. After all, it really takes time for a rediscovered child to adapt to family life, and it takes a lot of time.

Speaking of which, why do the family search programs on TV only dare to only show the pictures of the reunion of relatives, but never broadcast the follow-up life? Just because the reunion clip is always the most touching, but after crying, they actually need to face more.

And most people, in fact, can't adapt to it.

When Xue Xueming extinguished the fire in the stove, Zhu quickly took out the potato stew and served it to the table. I have to say that this meal is really a bit hearty, with meat and vegetarian dishes, as well as soup.

Seeing Xue Dan holding steamed buns and eating only vegetarian vegetables, Zhu Shi took a piece of meat and put it in his bowl, and said lovingly: "Son, why do you only eat vegetables, come, eat some meat, you are too thin now, it is good to eat meat and grow strong." ”

Smelling the smell of meat, Xue Dan instinctively felt nauseous.

However, seeing Zhu's expectant gaze, he was really a little difficult to refuse, so he endured the discomfort in his heart, picked up the piece of meat and put it in his mouth to chew.

Suddenly, there was a burst of discomfort in his stomach, and after he forcibly swallowed it, he only felt that the river was overturned, so he quickly covered his mouth and went to the door, and spit it out with a "wow".

Some things are not something that can be accepted by force, after all, the body is the most honest. The heart can be reluctant, but the instinct is reluctant.

Seeing Xue Dan vomiting for a while, the Zhu family was so panicked that they thought there was something wrong with the meat, so they also took a piece and chewed it carefully. However, there is only the fragrance and there are no problems.

"There's no problem with the meat, it's my problem." Xue Dan said, "I have never eaten a piece of meat in the past ten years, so I am still a little uncomfortable. ”

Only then did the two of them react, and while feeling sorry for their son, they began to feel sad again. If Xue Dan can't even eat meat, then how can he grow his body.

Even, will he not be close to women for the rest of his life?

Thinking of this, Zhu's heart began to twitch, and she hated that Hanako in her heart. If it weren't for him, how could her son be like this, even feeling disgusting to eat a piece of meat?

Xue Laohan was more optimistic, and only listened to him comfort Xue Dan and said, "Son, it's okay if you're not used to it for the time being, let's take our time." This time, you don't want to eat meat, we'll make a little bit of it every meal in the future, you just eat little by little, and you will get used to it after a while. ”

Zhu likes to listen to this, and thinks this is the truth.

There is no one in this world who doesn't like to eat meat, but he is not used to it for a while.

Thinking of this, his mood was a little better, and he said to Xue Dan: "What your father said is right, let's take our time, my mother was too anxious just now." Come on, you eat this, this is called bamboo shoots, but it's delicious. ”

In this way, Xue Dan's first meal after returning home passed like this.

After lunch, Xue Dacheng walked in with a bold chopped firewood. While shouting, "Erniang, are you at home?" He lowered his burden.

The three of Zhu were talking in the room, and Zhu wanted to make a few new clothes for Xue Dan, so he began to measure him.

Hearing someone shouting, Zhu said: "It must be Dacheng's kid who is here, let's go, let's go out and have a look." She thought to herself, Dacheng might have come to Xue Dan to hang out. If you want to say that your son is also quiet, if you don't take the initiative to talk to him, he can stay silent for half a day.

I think they're all boys, so they should be able to play together.

Seeing a load of firewood in the courtyard, Zhu said: "Cheng'er, you are too polite, now that we are back, your uncle will get these in the future." Listen to Erniang's words, don't take it again in the future. ”

Hearing this, Dacheng said: "It's all a family, don't be polite, auntie, didn't I look at my brother just came back, you must have a lot to say, I'm idle and idle, and I'll get it right soon." It's all family, so you're welcome. ”

Seeing that Dacheng made things clear in a few words, Zhu Shi lost his mind for a moment. I don't know when her son will be able to do the same.
