Judging from the expressions, words and deeds of the people around me, it was obvious that I could not accompany him into the Buddha room, including the widow Liu, who was his nursing mother. [Because of this, I can't help but be secretly frightened, the more rules, the heavier the etiquette, which means that Ah Ping's identity is more extraordinary.

No one objected, and Ah Ping pulled me across the threshold to the Buddha case, and pulled me along as he knelt down.

A few pairs of eyes stared at him behind me, and I didn't bend my knees to kneel beside him. However, when I entered the door, I found that the Guanyin Jade Buddha that was originally placed in the center was moved aside at this time, and it was the wooden card that had been hidden behind the place, or the spirit card, the word Yiwen.

Seeing Ah Ping bowing, I also bowed, and I didn't get up after three bows, and there was a brazier in front of me, and there was a large bag of paper money next to the brazier, and some sacrificial supplies.

I didn't know how to do it, so I could only watch how Ah Ping got it and then follow along, only to see him take three sticks of incense and light it and then reach out to take the incense, but he held his hand and shook his head lightly and then said in a low voice: "You don't have to, just stay here with me." ”

He nodded quickly and retracted his hand, so much better. I'm afraid that there is still something to be done and I don't know, and acting indiscriminately will only mess up his crown ceremony. After some worship, Ah Ping began to put paper money into the brazier, and the flames jumped high.

At this moment, Lao Langzhong's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Lingyue auspicious day, the first plus yuan service, abandon the young word, and shun Er Chengde." Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. ”

I couldn't help frowning when I heard it, why are they all crepe words? What is he doing here? After two more pauses, he muttered two paragraphs, which sounded like he was saying auspicious words, which may also be an item of etiquette.

When Lao Langzhong stopped talking, Ah Ping came to help me get up, turned his head and saw Uncle Mu's hands holding a black crown hat, which should be worn later. I thought that Uncle Mu was going to send them in, but when I saw that they were still standing outside the threshold, they didn't seem to dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, and they were secretly wondering, and heard Ah Ping whispering in his ear: "Daughter-in-law, you go and get a crown and hat for me." ”

Yes? I? His eyes turned in astonishment, and he looked at him a little bewildered.

Although the volume of his speech just now was not high, it was silent enough for everyone outside to hear. That's why as soon as his words fell, I saw a dry person outside the door of the Buddha's room, and the faces were stiff, obviously this is another unceremonial thing.

But when Ah Ping saw that my pestle was standing still, he gently squeezed my palm and said, "Go quickly, it's not good to miss the hour." ”

…… I immediately moved, and when I heard Lao Langzhong chanting what auspicious moon and auspicious day were in that loud voice just now, I didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. Walking to the threshold, the old man took the first step and reminded: "Madam, please stay, don't cross the threshold." ”

The foot that was about to take the step shrank back again, and Uncle Mu walked up, although his face was calm, he still offered his crown hat and both hands to me. Naturally, I took it with both hands, ignoring the angry expressions of the widow behind them and turned around and walked towards Ah Ping.

When I came to him, I suddenly felt a little nervous, licked my dry lips and asked in a low voice, "What should I do next?" ”

But seeing the corners of his mouth slightly imperceptibly moved, there was a faint smile on his face, I glared in shame, so many pairs of eyes outside were watching, I wouldn't wait for the thing to be done and then laugh.

"Put it on for me." Although it was a commanding word, he didn't feel uncomfortable because of his soft tone.

But I compared my hat and said angrily: "You are so tall, how can I reach it." Then he half-crouched down to match my height, and my hands were shaking when I put the crown hat on top of his head, and I was actually very excited in addition to being nervous.

I also participated in his coming-of-age ceremony, and in the end, I put on a crown hat for him to complete the ceremony. What a great honor, it is a great sense of accomplishment and participation, and there is also a sense of comfort in watching my own children grow up.

I felt aggrieved before I thought about it, and I didn't know that I was actually led by the nose by a minor boy for more than half a year.

After putting on the black crown and tying the rope, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in seeing my man become more and more handsome. I really feel that the dark blue robe he is wearing today with this crown hat looks not only mature but also beautiful, which makes people can't take their eyes off.

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many pairs of eyes watching outside, I would have liked to peck him on the lips as a sign of affection.

He straightened up and leaned into my ear and asked, "Is it pretty?" ”

I snorted softly and replied duplicitously, "So-so." A chuckle fell into the eardrums: "Then you still have straight eyes." ”

I grinded my teeth hard.

This crown ceremony has been considered a ceremony, even if some people's faces stink, they can only accept it helplessly. Out of the Buddha room, everyone went to the front room, and there were full seats on the table in the hall, and I was just a foil for making noodles, and the rest had already been prepared.

And I kneaded the noodles with dough, and then they were all made with apricots. But I won't worry about this kind of detail, I want Ah Ping to eat more noodles I cooked, and I'll make him a supper in the evening.

I noticed a detail, I was supposed to leave the right seat to Ah Ping, but Ah Ping pulled me and sat directly in the lower position, so they all looked at each other, and finally it was Widow Liu who sat in the main seat. I sighed in my heart, it's just a position, why are there so many rules, as Ah Ping's nurse is in charge, she should sit on it.

The atmosphere was a little calm, and after everyone sat down, no one moved chopsticks or spoke, and I couldn't help but push Ah Ping's knee at the bottom. Give me some reaction, and it would be too stupid for me to see these people talking to his face at this point.

Don't look at him sitting next to me with a calm face, I still don't understand after being with him for so long, he's making emotions again, as for what kind of emotions I'm messing with, I can't guess what kind of emotions he is making. He was as casual as he wished just now, and the faces of the few people present turned black, but in the end, he was still putting on a score? Can you still eat properly?

After I secretly pushed him, he came to grab my hand under the table, trying to pull him out, but he didn't dare to move too much, he really wanted to stare at him. Feeling his palm pinched lightly, he let go, and he reached out and picked up the chopsticks on the table.

The faces of the few people sitting next to me eased, and I was curious about what dishes Ah Ping would hold with his first chopsticks. When I saw the chopsticks fall into a certain plate, my heart couldn't help but fluctuate, it was braised fish, and the head of the fish was removed.

I was so impressed by this that for a long time I felt a dull pain in the back of my hand when I saw a fish. Of course, this is just a psychological reaction, and the burn on the back of the hand has long been healed. Although there was Ah Ping's meal, the meal was also very dull, Xing'er wanted to open the topic several times, but the old man responded, Ah Ping didn't look at her from beginning to end, and then she was bored.

In the afternoon, the people who should have dispersed dispersed, and the first to go out of the house were Ah Ping and me. When he crossed the door, Lao Langzhong's stunnedness, Uncle Mu's silence, and Xing'er's desire to speak were all in his eyes, and of course, the unsatisfactory gaze behind him could not be ignored.

Pull the corners of your mouth and leave everyone behind.

People live a lifetime and are bound by all kinds of troubles, not to mention the other world with vague memories, I am tired enough to live in this era alone. A rare day, why not when it's time to be willful?

The two silently walked out of the village holding hands, not wanting to break this rare silence, but when they calmed down, they were actually very touched in their hearts. The person holding my hand has officially entered adulthood today, from a boy to a man, and I have only known him for a year, but how can I feel like I have witnessed his growth?

However, a trace of loneliness also gradually emerged from the depths of my heart. Age seems to be an unbridgeable gap between me and Ah Ping, he thinks that he can shorten the distance between him and me by being a year older, but he doesn't know that what he knows is only the surface of this body, but the inner soul is...... Have an old heart? It's not like that, it's just more mature, and I comforted myself bitterly.

The god of turning raised his head and couldn't help but be stunned, this road is...... Heading to the hot springs?

Subconsciously grabbed him, and asked in an unsteady voice: "Ah Ping, where are we going?" ”

He turned his head and said, "It's cold, let's go soak in the hot springs." ”

"But...... But we didn't have any clothes with us. I rummaged through my mind to find such a reason, but he quickly blocked it back: "It's okay, it's quiet over there, and no one will see it except for the clothes soaked in the water." ”

That was before, and now it's still silent. My intuition doesn't want Ah Ping to meet Lu Feng, I have selfishness in saving Lu Feng, and I can't tell him this selfishness, and I can't explain it once we meet.

"It's better not to go, it's not so cold this day, it's rare that today is your coming-of-age ceremony, let's go shopping around."

The reason is very far-fetched, and he can't even convince himself when he says it, although he is calm on his face, his heart is weak when he is looked at by A Pingmo for a while, and he awkwardly looks away and compromises: "Okay, okay, you are the birthday star, and your will is the most important." ”

Approaching the vicinity of the hot spring pool, I couldn't help but look around, and after looking around, I didn't find anyone secretly relieved. As soon as he looked back at Ah Ping's gaze, he asked, "What are you looking for?" ”

The heart skipped a beat, "No, it's nothing, let's see if there is anyone next week." ”

Unexpectedly, Ah Ping asked next: "Are you looking for the woodcutter who saved you here last time?" I was almost dumbfounded, and I replied half a beat slowly: "How come?" You're not going to take a bath here, I'm not going to show you if there's anyone around, in case someone is bad. ”

"You're not in the water?"

"I ...... I'm inconvenient. The woman has a few days of inconvenience every month, and he still knows about it, but he tilted his head and thought about it and said, "Didn't you go to the tenth month last month?" It's only the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. ”

Completely frozen, this kid even remembered the day I came on my period so clearly, I forgot what day I came last month, and I didn't have time to think deeply about this reason to prevaricate and avoid going into the water. And the words he said at this moment were like spilled water, and it was difficult to collect the water, so he could only pretend to be annoyed and glared at him in a resentful tone: "It's early." ”
