Chapter 45: I'm Not Tired of Old

Chen Qiong turned her head to see the north wall, she opened her mouth several times, closed it several times, there were two villains fighting in her heart, these two villains were very powerful, it didn't take long to fight in her head, and there was no result for a long time, and no matter how patient people were, they were annoyed.

She simply said it in one go: "There is a question you haven't answered me yet, what are they for?" ”

Guan Ji was surprised and calmed down for three seconds, confirmed that he heard correctly, and then asked, "No personal emotions?" ”

Chen Qiong shook her head and didn't bring it.

"For the sake of what they believe in their hearts, most of them are devout followers of Buddhism." Guan Ji looked at the restored Buddha's hand and made a gesture of saying the Dharma seal, symbolizing that the Buddha was saying the Dharma, "When the monk Lezun passed by here, he saw that Sanwei Mountain suddenly emitted golden light to the surroundings, like ten thousand Buddhas appeared, and he probably thought that this was the closest place to Western Bliss, so the first cave was dug in the opposite Mingsha Mountain to worship, which is now the Mogao Grottoes, and soon other people came here to dig caves one after another. ”

"Buddhism's original intention is to help the world get rid of suffering, from our world of many sufferings and pains to the world of bliss without suffering and sorrow, when the people suffered from wars and famines, Buddhism gave them great courage and comfort, Buddhism's superior method is to promote Buddhism so that others can also realize the truth, so that others can also get rid of the many sufferings of the world."

"Consciously aware of him, self-discipline, self-interest and altruism, is the consummation of enlightenment, so building Buddha caves and preaching the Dharma is a matter of immeasurable merit."

Chen Qiong asked, "Is this faith?" ”

"Yes, if there has to be a reason for what continues to sustain them in this difficult environment, it is their devotion to Buddhism, which is their spiritual backbone." Guan Ji continued the rolling motion of his hand, "You ask for what, for faith." ”

"They have lived their lives for what they believe in."

"What about mortgaging the child?"

No ridicule, she just wanted to know.

Guan Ji knew that Chen Qiong had fallen into this horn again, which may also be another angle, everyone was surprised by the perseverance of the painter, but she was the only one who paid attention to the child: "There is never a double way in the world, and every decision made is difficult." ”

Chen Qiong stretched out her hand towards the north wall, and then withdrew her hand, the dance posture of the Bodhisattva can never be forgotten, she half sighed and half smiled, and nodded as if she didn't understand: "There is a double law in the world." ”

Sometimes, in some people's hearts, there is always something that is above everything in the world.

Faith is above all else, the righteousness of the family and country is above all else, and Dunhuang is above everything in Li Chunhua's heart.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Live up to it." ”

Cangyang Gyatso wrote the dilemma in just a dozen words.

What is there in the world where there is a double dharma?

On the way back to the staff dormitory after work at night, Chen Qiong suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at the nine-story building, she seemed to have seen the wisp of soul, but it disappeared too quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the kung fu was gone, and the frustration of missing the opportunity gave birth to helplessness in the heart.

When Zhang Xiaomao came out for a walk, he was startled when he saw the person sitting under the tree: "Teacher Chen? ”

Chen Qiong supported her cheek with one hand and responded very depressedly: "Good evening." ”

"Where's Mr. Guan?" Zhang Xiaomao's head turned around, "I'm not with you." ”

"He went to run errands after work, and now he should go back to the dormitory." Chen Qiong thought that the person in front of her was here to find Guan Ji, and said, "You go to the dormitory to find it." ”

Zhang Xiaomao pursed his mouth, he just felt that these two people appeared in pairs most of the time, and his brain automatically formed a conditioned reflex, and Guan Ji went to the cafeteria to eat at seven o'clock, and then returned to the Conservation Research Institute to deal with things.

He looked at the sky and looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock: "Teacher Chen, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”

Chen Qiong squinted, her mood was even worse now, and she sighed: "What else to eat, I have gained weight after my appetite has improved, and I won't be able to jump if I eat again." ”

Since her unaccustomed condition disappeared, although her appetite has recovered, the amount of food has not changed, and she even eats less than usual, but I don't know why it is still heavy when I go on the electronic scale this morning.

The food in the northwest is nourishing, and it makes people worry.

"I'm not fat, I'm fat." Zhang Xiaomao stared at Chen Qiong carefully for a long time, there was no change in his figure, judging from his paternalistic psychology, he was still thin, he said that he didn't understand at all, "Teacher Chen, you are really not fat, you are still so good-looking." ”

Chen Qiong smiled without saying a word, hugged the cotton clothes on her legs, and got up from the stone pier: "I'm back to the dormitory, you take a good walk." ”

Zhang Xiaomao also let the way out, inadvertently glanced at the thing in Chen Qiong's hand, and said in surprise as soon as he opened his mouth: "Teacher Guan's cotton clothes? ”

"Closed?" Chen Qiong stopped, looked down at the long black cotton coat in her hand, she originally wanted to return it to Guan Ji, but Guan Ji said that she would have to stay in the cave for so many days later, let her take it herself.

"Teacher Guan loves to wear this cotton coat very much." Zhang Xiaomao showed a treacherous smile, "I heard that he has been wearing it for several years, and the elders in the courtyard feel sorry for him, and they have bought him a few new ones according to the style of this cotton coat, but he still only wears this one." ”

Chen Qiong returned to the dormitory thoughtfully, the cotton clothes in her hand looked brand new, without the appearance of old clothes at all, but also, the clothes of the person who were sent to Guan Ji had never been old, and I didn't know how to wear them.

She had even suspected that this person had bought a new one to make up for it.

When I met Guan Ji outside the cafeteria the next morning, Chen Qiong, who had been thinking about it all night, still handed over the cotton clothes: "Xiao Mao said that this is your favorite cotton coat to wear, and you are willing to wear it for me, take it back, I will buy one myself." ”

Guan Ji, who had just come from the dormitory, looked at it, didn't pick it up, and stared at Chen Qiong with a smile: "What's reluctant, you wear everything, you still want to give up and find a new love?" ”

Chen Qiong's eyebrow bones jumped, what words are used here...?

"It's clear that you're tired of the old." She didn't insist on returning it anymore, after all, the owner said so, the main thing is that it will be troublesome to buy it again, so in order to repay the favor, she also shouted for this cotton coat by the way.

"I'm not tired of it." Guan Jiyi has a point.

Chen Qiong paused for a moment, smiled, and didn't know if he understood the "referent".

The conversation between the two was quickly interrupted by the sound of cats meowing, and cats came to occupy the territory on the muddy ground next to a few trees.

Some cats refused to go again after walking a few steps, and just lay down lazily on the spot, and a few squatted and sat as if they couldn't wake up, and the only cat that was stretching was still an orange cat.

Chen Qiong, who naturally loves cats and dogs, no longer cares what Guan Ji has to say, and walks lightly under the tree next to her, walking towards the orange cat who is not lazy, this cat is not afraid of people, let her touch her head, or stretch her neck to take the initiative to rub.

It may also be that she has been used to touching it these days, and it may be that it has been fed.

Guan Ji smiled helplessly, and walked over when he saw the cotton clothes in Chen Qiong's arms mopping the floor, bent down and reached out to help take it, but found that the person who was squatting down was tightly sandwiched between his abdomen and thighs: "Clothes." ”

Chen Qiong, who was bent on petting the cat, didn't look back, and directly half-stood up and asked Guan Ji to take the cotton clothes away, because she just thought the cotton clothes were in the way, and the next second she picked up the cat and put it on her lap.

As soon as Guan Ji dusted off his dusty cotton clothes, he heard someone behind him shouting: "Guan Ji, come here, I have something to tell you." ”

It is Wang Jinmei, a senior of the research institute, who is a college classmate with his mother, and is also a relationship with Jinlan.

"Aunt Wang, what's the matter?" Guan Ji put the cotton coat in the crook of his arm, took two steps out, and walked onto the concrete road.

Wang Jinmei looked Guan Ji, who was taller than herself, up and down, and didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point: "Your uncle and grandmother in Beijing called me again, and asked me to find you a girl on a blind date." ”

Since Guan Ji took root here, the elders of the family entrusted people to Wang Jinmei and Li Chunhua, and now they have entrusted him with his lifelong affairs.

Chen Qiong, who was concentrating on petting the cat, was still gently scratching the cat's chin with her hand, but she suddenly stopped moving.

Guan Ji also played Tai Chi as usual when he was forced to go on a blind date: "Didn't you meet once four years ago and didn't work out." ”

At that time, I found a Beijing girl to go on a blind date with him, the purpose was to make him fall in love with this girl, and then leave Dunhuang for love and go back to Beijing to work.

"yes, so this time let me help find a local girl to go on a blind date with you." Wang Jinmei laughed, understanding the heart of being an adult over there, and she also quite understood, "They are really worried about your life's events now, born in March, right?" ”

Default to shut-off.

Wang Jinmei glared: "Then next year will be thirty people, and it's time to start a family." ”

Guan Ji laughed, and then pursed his lips and didn't speak, if he had been before, he might have followed the family's mind to go on a blind date, and then got married and had children here, but... He turned his head sideways, and his gaze fell on Chen Qiong.

"Your conditions are not bad, as long as you have a heart, you can't find a girl, and the child can land and leave now." Wang Jinmei thought that Guan Ji was shadowed by the failure of the blind date four years ago, and patted Guan Ji's arm, "Listen to Aunt Wang, go and have a look first, and your grandmother called me personally, and asked me to find her a granddaughter-in-law." ”

She was afraid that Guan Ji still wouldn't agree, so she took out the words in her heart: "You said that when I was at school with your mother, your grandmother thought that I was too far away from home and took care of me, and often called me to go to the house for dinner. ”

In the past, Guan Ji, who was very good at talking, would symbolically go on a blind date a few times, but now although the corners of his mouth still have a smile of respect for his elders, his words are a little cold: "Then Aunt Wang, you will tell them that I have someone I like." ”

Wang Jinmei, who was surprised, was about to ask, when suddenly a sharp cat meow tore through the air, harsh and terrible, the orange cat in Chen Qiong's arms seemed to be frightened, and ran away as fast as possible, and scratched it fiercely with its claws grinning before running.

Chen Qiong squatted and didn't move, and kept looking at the direction where the cat left.

"Do you really have a favorite?"

"Really."

"Nacheng, find time to bring it back to Beijing to show your grandmother and them, the old man, I always feel that I don't have much time, I just want to see the happiness of the juniors I am worried about." Wang Jinmei originally thought that Guan Ji was coaxing herself, but when she heard what Guan Ji said was so true, she didn't want to doubt anything.

In the matter of urging marriage, whoever does it will be annoying, and if you are aggressive, it will be even more annoying.

"Remember, show it to your grandma as soon as possible, otherwise when you are old, you will still worry about you when you should be happy." After one more instruction, he went to the research institute.

Guan Ji's mind wandered, and suddenly he smiled dumbly, he also wanted to take it back to his family, more than anyone else.
