Ye Feng, who was in Chenjia Village, lived a step-by-step life, witnessing the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the villagers around him. Recently, he has begun to envision planting in the forest and open up a new path to prosperity.

Yinping, far away in the suburbs of Beijing, officially opened the luxurious life of the rich young master, stretched out his hands for clothes, opened his mouth for food, and gradually got rid of the habit of getting up from the fourth watch and skipping lunch. What makes Hu even happier is that now even if he eats big fish and meat, he won't have diarrhea.

I have to say that the human stomach is really a magical system, coarse tea and light rice can adapt, and the abalone ginseng wing belly is still no problem.

And Xue Dan in the Big Buddha Temple began a peaceful life similar to that in the Nameless Temple, starting from the fourth watch, meditating and chanting, and sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard.

No matter how jealous the senior brother was, under the new name of Wuzhi given to him by Monk Huiyuan, he shaved his hair again, and he lived as he pleased.

After the plague, many people who had taken refuge before chose to return to Qingshui Town, become self-reliant, and began to rebuild their homes. After a period of recovery, although it is not as prosperous as before the earthquake, it is finally alive and is no longer a dead city.

Xue Xueming's family, who live on the edge of the town, have gradually returned to their normal lives. Since Yin Ping and Xue Dan left, Xue Aishi has been thinking of the red bag that fell out of the inner pocket of Xue Dan's clothes from time to time.

Maybe it's because of his age, no matter how he thinks about it, he just can't remember it, so he has to give up.

After a few months of recuperation, on this day, Xue Laohan's legs were almost better, and he didn't need anyone's support, and he was okay to walk slowly, which made Xue Laohan feel very happy.

To say that his leg is a little bit injured, if he was ten years younger, he might have been healed a long time ago, and he didn't have to lie down like this for two months to rest.

As soon as Xue Laohan was happy, Xue Aishi asked his son Xue Dacheng to call his married daughter Xue Qing'er home, and the family was happy to have a meal.

As soon as Xue Dacheng left, Xue Aishi took out a tael of silver from his few savings, walked to the town, and bargained to buy some meat, vegetables, flour and the like, as well as some snacks and snacks.

The family doesn't seem to be happy since the earthquake. Now that Xue Laohan's leg is healed, it's time to celebrate and get rid of bad luck.

Xue Dacheng naturally lived with the couple, and he had married in the early years, married his wife Han, and now has a son and a daughter. Xue Qinger married a married family from a nearby village and had three sons and one daughter.

As soon as everyone arrived, plus Xue Laohan and his wife, a family of eleven packed the house to the brim, plus Xue Ai's willingness to put oil and meat today, the meal was very rich, and the family had a lively reunion dinner together.

Seeing that the room was so lively, Xue Laohan was also very happy. This is the first time since his second brother and his wife went out to look for their son, this family has been so lively.

After the meal, Cheng Wei took a few children to the town to play, Han was busy in the stove, and Xue Dacheng and Xue Qing'er stayed to talk to the couple.

While talking to Ai, Xue Qing'er took out the sewing kit she carried with her and prepared to do needlework.

Seeing that her daughter was working like this, Xue Aishi was a little depressed. If you want to say that her mother-in-law's family is true, she doesn't treat her daughter-in-law as a person, but she is a cow and a horse landmaker.

Thinking of this, he said unhappily: "What are you going to do here?" It's rare to come back once a year. I'm finally back, so if you don't talk to your father with me, you have to get in the way of my eyes. ”

Seeing that Xue Qing'er didn't pay attention to it, she just smiled, but she was still immersed in needlework, Xue Aishi only felt angry, and she couldn't bear this breath. Seeing that Cheng Wei had already taken the child to play, he poked Xue Qing'er's forehead with his finger and counted her in-laws.

"If you want to say that your mother-in-law is not satisfied! In addition to working in the fields, you are asked to do needlework every day on weekdays. But if it's just her, it's okay, it's as it should be. It's just that this is good, saying that you are good at needlework, and you have all the needlework of a large family! Is it possible that your sister-in-law and sister-in-law don't have long hands? They didn't learn to work as a girl when they were girls? ”

"Well, it's rare for my daughter to come back once, why do you say you're like this? I have to make everyone unhappy. ”

"I said mine, what's your business. I'll tell you, silly girl, this kind of thing can be pushed back in the future. Let me tell you, if you don't take good care of it, it's too late to cry in the future. How many embroidery girls have you seen with good eyes? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the needlework in Xue Qing'er's hand and said, "You say, who is this for, is this a trick for you, your eldest sister-in-law or your second sister-in-law?" ”

After speaking, the more Ai Shi thought about it, the more angry he became, because he turned around and only turned his back to Xue Qing'er.

Xue Laohan just said those few words back and forth, and when he saw Xue Aishi like this, he didn't know what to say, so he just closed his mouth in amusement.

However, Xue Qing'er rarely saw her mother make such a small child, but she didn't mind, she naturally understood in her heart that Ai Shi said this because she felt sorry for herself.

However, those things in my own family are really ...... Forget it, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. If you really have to care, I don't know how many incidents to cause. It's just a little more effort, and it's not a big thing that can't be endured.

Xue Qing'er knew in her heart that Xue Aishi was not really angry, and it was better to wait for her anger to subside than to add fuel to the fire now.

Thinking like this, I didn't delay the work at hand.

The Han couple naturally heard about the public case outside in the stove, but it was not easy to come out. It wasn't until Xue Aishi stopped talking that Xue Dacheng came out of the kitchen with a bowl of water and handed it to Ai, who was pretending to be angry.

Seeing that Xue Qing'er was sewing the bag, and seeing Ai's unhappy face, his heart became clearer. These days, perhaps because Xue Qing'er has not returned to her parents' house for a long time, Xue Ai's family has to complain about Qing'er's mother-in-law no matter what day.

Because he stepped forward and took Ai's hand, he said half-coquettishly and half-jokingly: "Mother, look at how old this girl is, she is still sewing these gadgets." I wonder if she still remembers that when she was a child, her grandmother only gave me tips and didn't give it to her. To be honest, it's just a trick, and a little bit of fabric is sewn. My grandmother didn't let me give it to you when she was alive, and now that her old man is gone, and no one is stopping her, in front of my mother, I'll give it to you now. ”

As he spoke, he reached into his clothes and took out the bag that he wore closely.

Xue Qing'er heard this, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother, just this little thing, it's a shame that you still remember it so clearly!" It was ignorant when I was a child, and when I saw that you did, why didn't I have it, they were all flesh and blood of the family, so I wouldn't be her granddaughter. Later, when I grew up, I realized that it was only for the men of our Xue family, so I was slowly relieved. ”

Hearing this, Xue Dacheng smiled and said, "If that's the case, then what are you doing with it." Cloth is wasted. Let me tell you, this bag is not comfortable to wear, and it is in the way. ”

Xue Qing'er glanced at him and said, "So don't talk nonsense if you don't know!" Summer is here, and there are a lot of mosquitoes. My sister-in-law never made needlework, so she asked me to make two tips for my nephew. I thought that there were many children at home, so I simply made a few more, and put some wormwood and calamus or something, which was good to repel insects and mosquitoes. ”

Xue Aishi, who pretended to be angry, heard his son make fun of his daughter, and he only regarded it as a joke. However, when the two of them talked about "grandmother" and "tips", her hands trembled a little, her face changed, and the water in the bowl spilled.

She finally remembered!

The bag that fell out of the little monk's clothes that day was the same as the one her mother-in-law sewn by herself more than ten years ago! There were two in total, one was given to Xue Dacheng, and the other was given to her second brother's son, Xue Dan.

It's strange that it's so familiar!

It turned out that there has always been an unwritten tradition in the Xue Laohan family, that is, after the son gets married, the mother will start to prepare red cloth sewing tips for her grandson.

But this bag has always been only for men, not for daughters. This is also why only Xue Dacheng has it, but Xue Qing'er does not.

Xue Dacheng and the others saw that Xue Aishi was trembling all over, and he couldn't even hold a bowl of water, thinking that she was sick, so he hurriedly got up and helped Xue Aishi into the house to lie down.

Before Xue Dacheng could speak, Xue Aishi said as if he had suddenly come to his senses: "Cheng'er, quick, quickly take off your bag and show it to your mother." Fast! ”

Hearing this, Xue Dacheng looked confused, but he hurriedly took the bag off his neck and handed it to the excited Ai Shi.

After receiving the bag handed over by Xue Dacheng, Xue Aishi only felt as if he was in another world. After carefully stroking this bag and looking at it carefully a few more times, Xue Aishi became more and more sure in her heart that the bag she saw that day was exactly the same as this one.

What does this mean? It shows that the little monk is very likely to be Xue Dan!

Thinking of this, Xue Aishi hurriedly handed this bag to Xue Laohan, and then said: "Aren't we thinking every day about why the bag that fell from the little monk's arms that day is so familiar." If you look closely, isn't the one he was the same as this one that day? ”

Hearing this, Xue Laohan only felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and as if he had heard huge good news, and his whole person began to tremble. If what the mother-in-law said is true, then isn't the little monk that day the second brother and the second brother and sister looking for more than ten years?

This idea was a bit too shocking, and Xue Laohan fell into deep thought for a while. He probably remembered the look of that bag, because he was very close that day.

Even if he didn't see it clearly, Xue Aishi must have seen it clearly.

You know, women have a better memory than men when it comes to things like needlework and jewelry. And that day, Xue Aishi personally picked it up and handed it to the little monk.

Regarding his parents' suspicions, Xue Dacheng immediately put forward a different point of view: "Dad, mother, I know you are in a hurry, but don't blindly think about it." Isn't this what all the tips in the world look like? You see my sister doing this, it looks similar to mine. ”

In fact, everyone understands what Xue Dacheng means, things are similar, so naturally you can't identify the identity of that little monk with a trick.

In many cases, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Although Xue Dacheng's words are not unpleasant, they are not unreasonable. Xue Laohan and Xue Qing'er also felt that they couldn't make a conclusion so quickly, and they needed to be further verified. If only I could meet the little monk himself.

Ask him about his past, ask him what he remembers, there are always some clues.

But Xue Aishi didn't think so, and only heard her say: "I think this is Xue Dan, the son of the second brother." Now that I think about it, there are some similarities in that look. It's a pity that the second brother and sister are gone, and I can't remember any characteristics of the child for a while. ”

"Yes, the second uncle and aunt are not here, and we don't know this."

Unexpectedly, Xue Aishi became more and more excited, patted his thigh and said: "If you want to say that this is really not a family, you don't enter a family!" On that day, when I went to worship his father and mother fainted, he appeared like that and woke me up. Tell me, what kind of little monks have been in the town over the years! It's also my fault that I didn't recognize him at the time, if I had known that it was the miserable child, I would not have let him go. ”

Xue Ai's words were leaning on metaphysics, and several people who said it were stunned. Especially Xue Laohan, he almost believed it in his heart.

Xue Qing'er thought about it, whether this little monk was her cousin or not, but this was a clue after all. And judging from Ai's words, it is still somewhat credible, and after thinking about it, he said: "Dad, mother, it's not that we don't look for him now, but we don't know where he went at all?" ”

Han Shi also helped on the side: "Yes, mother, this person is in the vast sea, it's not easy to find." Moreover, she didn't want Xue Laohan and his wife to find this child.

It is obvious that this child is now an orphan, penniless, and has no strengths, and is still a monk. If it is really brought back, who will raise it in the future?

She didn't want to contribute and pay for it.

Hearing this, Xue Aishi immediately said: "This is simple, I saw him and another little monk in the dust that day, I think he has endured a lot of hardships and is looking for a temple to settle down." They asked me where there was a temple nearby, and I told me the nearest temple. It is not known that this child went to the Big Buddha Temple. ”

Xue Qing'er said: "If you really go to the Big Buddha Temple, then it's easy to do, let's go to the temple once as a family and see it." ”

She knew in her heart that this was the obsession in the hearts of Xue Laohan and Xue Aishi, and if she didn't go to the Big Buddha Temple to confirm, she was afraid that the two of them would not be able to sleep.

When Xue Aishi heard this, he thought it was a good idea, so he immediately agreed. After some discussion, several people decided to go to the Big Buddha Temple tomorrow.

Seeing this, the Han clan couldn't stop it, but just began to pray, never to find Xue Dan. If there is one more oil bottle in this family, she really can't stand it.

On the same day that the Xue family decided to go to the Big Buddha Temple the next day to find out, the Ye family was giving birth at home, and they saw Chen Wumei and the Zhu family walking in, saying hello to each other, and then sitting down.

After drinking the water, Zhu said to Ye: "My mother asked me to ask you, tomorrow she will take her fifth sister to the Big Buddha Temple to make a vow, do you want to go with you?" She said that you seemed to have made a wish, but I don't know if you still wished. ”

As soon as Zhu's words were finished, Ye's heart immediately reacted. Mrs. Liu is right, more than ten years ago tomorrow, Mrs. Liu met the Li family, the mother of the young master of the Wu family, in the Big Buddha Temple, and this is why there is this fateful marriage.

Chen Wumei is going to get married after the New Year, and according to the wish that Mrs. Liu made in front of the Buddha, she will naturally go to repay her vow tomorrow.

After thinking about it, Ye Shi said: "Then let's go together, my mother-in-law is right, many years ago, I don't remember what year it was, and I also made a wish in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva." Speaking of which, I've been more than seven months now. If you don't go now, you won't be able to go in the future. ”

Hearing this, Zhu said: "No, your belly is so big, don't go now, I'm afraid that I won't be able to climb the mountain in the future." According to me, let's call the third brother together, and there will be a response when the time comes. ”

Ye's family, no one can take care of it, so Chen Jixing can follow.

Hearing this, Ye said: "That's nature, now that I'm like this, only he can help me." Okay, that's it, tomorrow, we'll go with us. ”

Several people chatted for a while, and then Zhu left with Chen Wumei. Before leaving, after thinking about it, Ye said to Zhu: "You go back and talk to your mother, just say that we will go together, but there are many of us, so we will take the ox cart alone, and we will not go to her old man's house." ”

Mrs. Liu went to the Big Buddha Temple to offer incense, and the Huang family and the Zhu family must follow. Zhu's daughter plus Chen Wumei, there are already five people. If Mrs. Liu asked her old sister to join her again, she would definitely not be able to sit down.

Thinking about it this way, it is better to ask his brother-in-law Chen Qianshan to drive, and the family will be intimate and comfortable.

At lunchtime, Ye told Chen Jixing Zhu's words one by one. Maybe it's because of Mrs. Liu, Chen Jixing believes in these things the most. When I heard this, I naturally agreed.

As for Ye Feng and Qianyan, they felt that this was a good opportunity to go out and play, and there was no reason not to go. Seeing this, the Ye family was even more happy, and even decided to go together as a family tomorrow.

In fact, the reason why Ye agreed so quickly was not only because she really wanted to repay her vow, but also because she had an idea in her heart, that is, to go to the Big Buddha Temple to make a wish for Ye Ermei, hoping that the Bodhisattva would bless her with a man.

The two in her belly, whether it is Dr. Mao or Dr. Zhang, say that it is very likely that they are both sons. In this way, she can rest assured. However, Ye Ermei has just gotten married, and she can't be sloppy.

Although Liu repeatedly emphasized that Chen Qianshan is only the third in the family, neither the eldest nor the eldest, no matter how many daughters Ye Ermei has had, it is no problem. However, Liu doesn't care, it doesn't mean that Chen Qianshan doesn't care.

Even if these people don't care, but when a few concubines get together, everyone will be sons, and Ye Ermei will be ridiculed by everyone if she is alone with a few daughters.

As soon as he thought of this, Ye felt that he couldn't stand it.

Maybe this is the inheritance of the Ye family, only the life of giving birth to a daughter. She forgot it, and now she finally succeeded.

But just look at the Lin family, you know, at an age, if you have a son, you will never risk giving birth to this child. Only she knew in her heart how much the Lin family had suffered in her early years, and now that she was old, she would still suffer.

What others saw was Lin's old clam and good luck, but who saw that in order to give birth to this child, Lin's insomnia all night long, and most of his hair fell out? Who saw Lin's low back pain, but he didn't even dare to use medicine for the sake of the child's health, so he could only endure it?

So tomorrow, she had to go.

In the evening, Chen Jixing took the time to go to Chen Qianshan's house and settled down with him. I made an appointment again, and then we dispersed.

That is, on the same day, Jumbo Zhai.

Since being taken in by Shopkeeper Ye, Xue Xueyi's body has gradually become healthy, and he doesn't have to wander again, he is hungry and full, and even his complexion is much better.

I have to say that a stable life is indeed the best way to recuperate your body.

Zhu is the same, the work that she originally needed to do was not heavy, but it was to cook, clean, wash clothes for the subordinates of Zhenbao Zhai, and there was also a daughter and husband to help.

As a result, gray hair did not continue to grow.

The clown girl has changed dramatically, her originally black face began to turn white because of a happy life, and she was originally a beautiful girl, but after the warm wrapping of the family, she has changed more and more beautifully.

In addition, this year is almost ten years old, and I slowly have the temperament of a girl.

It's just that satisfaction is satisfaction, and the couple always has a knot in their hearts.

After coming here for so long, he has never given up asking about his son's whereabouts, but so far there has been no news.

If their lost son is not found for a day, they will not be able to feel at ease.

Thinking that he is so comfortable, but his son is likely to live a beggar-like life, Zhu Shi's heart aches every time.

In fact, Zhu's mentality is common to many parents who have lost their children. There is such a real case, a couple in Guizhou accidentally lost their son in the vegetable market and was taken away by traffickers.

For more than 20 years, the couple never ate a single breakfast, on the grounds that they felt that the trafficked child must not be doing well and could not afford to eat breakfast.

Moreover, they feel unworthy.

All this, Shopkeeper Ye saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. Because of the same circumstances, some pity inevitably arose in his heart.

So, after breakfast that day, he called Xue Laohan and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Big Buddha Temple to pray for blessings." The store has been busy lately, and everyone is working very hard. Therefore, I discussed with the proprietor that I would have a day off tomorrow, and all the others would not have to work. If you also want to go to the Big Buddha Temple to offer incense to God, I can take you on a ride. ”

When Xue Xueyi and Zhu heard this, they were grateful.

In fact, they both knew the name of the Big Buddha Temple, and they had long wanted to go there. But because he had to do the work, and the owner treated the whole family so well, he didn't bring it up.

Now, not only can you continue to inquire about the whereabouts of the child, but you can also help the clown find her parents by the way.

There are always some people who are not willing to give up these days, either insomnia or lack of appetite. Outsiders didn't know, and thought she was unwell. But only she knew that she was upset: she was hesitating to do that.

A few days ago, Shopkeeper Ye came to her to talk about Zhenbao Zhai, which was a serious matter, but it was nothing. It's just that after talking about business, Shopkeeper Ye still has a little bit of a desire to talk about it.

Gu Xixi let him say it directly.

When he said this, he began to feel embarrassed.

It turned out that the shopkeeper Ye didn't know who he had heard about it, saying that there was a recent saying that if the child's parents went to the Big Buddha Temple to pray for the child, then the Buddha would bless the child.

Therefore, Shopkeeper Ye wanted to ask Gu Xixi to go to the Big Buddha Temple to pray for his lost son. But he also knew that it was presumptuous to do so, after all, the two of them needed to avoid suspicion, so they swallowed it.

However, when it comes to his son, Shopkeeper Ye inevitably lost his sense of proportion, so he still said it head-on.

Gu Xixi listened, and was silent for a long time before saying, "You go back first, I'll think about it later." "If it had been before, Shopkeeper Ye would not have believed these nonsense.

But now, he began to believe in it.

If you care, it's messy.

In fact, Gu Xixi also wanted to promise Shopkeeper Ye to go to the Big Buddha Temple with him to pray for the hard-working child. However, the life in front of her and a pair of children remind her all the time that it is right to completely forget the old love.

If Bai Zhixian notices something, it will be really troublesome. Not only is it not beneficial to that child, but these two children will also be affected now.

After thinking about it, Gu Xixi finally made up her mind.

It's been more than ten years, and it's time to say a formal goodbye to the past.
