Chapter 30: The five aggregates are empty
Gao Zhan drove Cheng Jia to the shopping mall.
"It's not as good as Nanjing, you have to wear a coat in the morning and evening, I see that most of the clothes you brought here are too thin, let's buy a few."
Cheng Jia was moved by Gao Zhan's carefulness, and she smiled slightly.
Cheng Jia kept trying on clothes, occasionally showing Gao Zhan and asking his opinion, Gao Zhan sat next to him and looked at it seriously, and when Cheng Jia finished trying, Gao Zhan had already paid.
"I haven't decided which one to buy, why did you just pay?"
"I think it's all good! Let's change your clothes! Gao Zhan said humbly.
Cheng Jia wanted to go back, but Gao Zhan grabbed her.
"Don't! I haven't bought it yet? β
As a result, I went to another women's clothing store and bought a lot of Cheng Jia.
"Aren't you going to buy it?" Cheng Jia asked him.
"I have to be a large number, there are relatively few numbers that are so big in this kind of mall, I don't want to try to trouble!" Gao Zhan said a little aggrieved.
Cheng Jia pursed her lips, "Forget it!" You're wearing custom-made clothes! β
Gao Zhan smiled, "Man! In exchange for just a few things, then you pick for me to see if I still have the need for reprocessing! β
He carried a lot of things and followed behind Cheng Jia, looking flattering.
The salesperson at the mall poked his head out, "How happy! Look how good her husband is to her! β
Gao Zhan looked proud.
Sending the clothes back to the car, Cheng Jia sat in silently, and when she came to Inner Mongolia, Gao Zhan always spent money on her, she felt that she owed him too much, and Gao Zhan's operating expenses for the divorce must have been huge, and he didn't even tell her.
Gao Zhan opened the door, "You come down!" I haven't bought it yet! β
Cheng Jia said: "Don't buy it!" Let's go back! β
"I want you to help me pick out some clothes!" Gao Zhan looked at Cheng Jia's little face and saw through her thoughts at a glance.
"You're a liar! I don't give you a choice! Cheng Jia pouted.
Gao Zhan stretched out his big hand and took Cheng Jia off the car like a chicken.
"This selfish woman! Leave me alone after buying it yourself! β
Cheng Jia exclaimed and gently slapped his arm.
They walked into the men's clothing store, Gao Zhan's clothes were really difficult to choose, and there were many models without numbers.
Gao Zhan stood there, Cheng Jia took the clothes and compared them on him, and then picked out a few pieces for Gao Zhan to try on, Gao Zhan wore them out, and Cheng Jia came to help him tidy them up.
Gao Zhan looked at Cheng Jia who was circling around her, her hair was softly draped over her shoulders, and occasionally a few strands slipped off because of bending over, and the unique fragrance floated out, her eyes flickered because of seriousness, her eyelashes were long and curled, a pair of dexterous hands slapped and pulled on him, and her breath of speech was very close to herself.
He felt very happy in an instant, and really wished that time would freeze at this moment.
In the end, Gao Zhan picked out a favorite T-shirt of Cheng Jia. Said to Cheng Jia:
"Pay! You want to give it to me! β
Cheng Jia was stunned for a moment, and then happily paid.
Gao Zhan took the clothes and looked at Cheng Jia very dotingly and smiled.
After buying clothes, they went to eat the hot pot that Cheng Jia had in mind.
Back at Gao Zhan's house, Cheng Jia first went into his study and turned on the computer to see if there was any reply to the email.
Gao Zhan laughed at her: "You have also been involved in personnel, you just submitted the resume yesterday, you always have to give others time to screen!" β
Cheng Jia said: "I don't like to be idle at home, and the idea of work is always - ready to move." Her last four words were very heavy.
Gao Zhan walked over, stood behind her and bent over, and said, "You let me see your resume!" β
Cheng Jia opened it, and Gao Zhan said: "This resume is so good, others will think it's fake when they see it!" There are too many formulaic languages, and the professionalism is in the wrong place! β
Cheng Jia was instantly unconvinced, she turned her head: "You know, it's true!" β
Her face almost touched Gao Zhan's, and their breath could be felt by each other, Gao Zhan looked at her bright, clear eyes, and his heartbeat accelerated instantly.
Cheng Jia turned around, suppressed his soaring heartbeat, and muttered, "Then how do you say to write appropriately!" β
Gao Zhan's deep voice sounded in Cheng Jia's ears, as if she had magic power, making her unable to concentrate.
Cheng Jia simply closed the computer and walked away in a panic.
"I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm sleepy!" Then he closed the door and left without looking back.
Gao Zhan looked at her in a daze, a pair of big eyes full of attachment, he sighed, picked up his pajamas and went to take a bath, the water temperature was a little low.
The next day, Cheng Jia received interview calls from several companies, and Gao Zhan helped her eliminate a few. Cheng Jia asked him, "Why don't you ask my opinion?" β
"Don't go too far, it's hard to run around! You're hot-headed and unfamiliar with traffic right now, I'll help you check the gates! β
Cheng Jia turned around and leaned against the table, half-sitting with his legs crossed.
"I haven't looked for a job for a long time, and when our company was recruiting, I always complained that we couldn't recruit the right people, and now I haven't found the right company when I'm looking for a job, so it's interesting to think about."
Gao Zhan looked at her, "This is supply and demand!" β
He poured a glass of water and handed it to Cheng Jia. "Don't be in a hurry, take your time!"
Cheng Jia nodded.
"I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."
"Where to go?"
"Shi Ni Zhao", Gao Zhan continued with a calm face, "You simply bring some clothes, we may not come back in the evening." β
"I don't know what kind of place it is? You're not going to sell me into a ravine, are you? Cheng Jia raised her eyebrows mischievously.
Gao Zhan laughed and rubbed Cheng Jia's head, "Maybe!" When the time comes, I will sell you to the sheep herders and let you herd the sheep every day! β
β¦β¦
The next day, Gao Zhan called Cheng Jia for breakfast early, and he made steamed buns and freshly squeezed soy milk......
Cheng Jia picked up the bun and studied, "Mr. Gao, are you an all-round man, you can make such a bun with such a color and flavor, I can't even bear to eat it!" β
Gao Zhan handed her the peeled eggs, "Eat it, cherish this bun, I don't have time to make it." Then he swallowed the egg in one gulp.
Cheng Jia hurriedly gave him the soy milk, and said with a smile: "If you go out to socialize and eat like this, you will definitely scare others to death!" β
Gao Zhan smiled: "Otherwise, why do people always say that they are relaxed at home!" Going out is social, and coming home is relaxing! β
After Cheng Jia sorted out the dishes and chopsticks, Gao Zhan walked to the elevator with a large bag and a small bag.
"Didn't you say simply bring something? How do you take so much? β
"I said you brought it simply, but I didn't say it, I brought tents, picnic cloths and others, it's not convenient to buy them there!" Gao Zhan walked out as he spoke.
They arrived quickly. Cheng Jia stepped out of the car, and a majestic temple came into her eyes, wrinkled and shining in the sunlight.
Cheng Jia covered the sun with his hand, and saw the Shakyamuni Golden Buddha standing not far away, with one hand stretched forward and the other hand standing vertically in front of his chest.
"This place is spectacular! Gao Zhan, that Buddha statue is so tall! β
Gao Zhan was getting water and a hat in the trunk, and when he heard what Cheng Jia said, he raised his head and looked at the Buddha statue, "It is said that twenty-eight meters!" β
After locking the car, Gao Zhan handed the hat to Cheng Jia, "The sun in Inner Mongolia is very strong, be careful that you get sunburned!" β
Walking into the temple, the first thing that came into sight was the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Cheng Jia and Gao Zhan walked in and worshiped the gods and Buddhas devoutly. Neither of them is Buddhist, but their experiences together in Tibet have given them a self-evident understanding of their faith.
Then they went to the lecture hall and sat on the floor listening to Buddhist music. Cheng Jia also learned to meditate, she closed her eyes, and the quiet, natural, fresh and elegant melody brought her a sense of coolness.
Hearing "Seeing the five aggregates are empty...... Cheng Jia felt her heart move, and all kinds of tastes came to her heart, and when she opened her eyes after singing the Heart Sutra, Gao Zhan handed her a piece of paper, only to know that she had tears all over her face.
It has been said that there is a wounded child living in everyone's heart, and we spend our whole lives trying to reconcile with this child, and this child is our own past. Some injuries are inadvertently imprinted in the heart, and over the years, you think it is gone, and suddenly one day it will be awakened. Cheng Jia also has such a child living in her heart, she thought that when she came to Inner Mongolia, all the sad past had been forgotten, at least it would not make her heartbroken, but at this moment she realized that the hurt never went away, but was hidden by her.
Out of the lecture hall, Gao Zhan took her to the lake in the North District, and they sat on chairs. Cheng Jia wiped her eyes carefully, afraid that the eye makeup would fall off.
Gao Zhan said: "I used to come here often when I was in a bad mood, and sometimes I put everything down and stayed for a few days. I'm quite familiar with the people here, and outsiders can't just go in. β
Cheng Jia said: "I thought you didn't have any worries, you saw everything so openly!" It feels like you're powerful and seem to be able to do anything. β
"How so? Everyone has matured step by step from ignorance, why do I have no troubles? Gao Zhan looked at Cheng Jia and continued:
"When Buddhism talks about 'letting go', it is not for us to hide and escape, but to face it, and then overcome it, and really know how to let go.
Some people have never killed in their lives, but they have been in a mess for a lifetime, and some people have just put down the butcher's knife and can understand it thoroughly, the important thing is not what they have done, but the attitude towards these things, and the real understanding and cultivation are here! Gao Zhan pointed to his chest.
The corners of Cheng Jia's eyes were moist again.
"I know that you have suffered some injuries over the years, and you are angry, but you have to understand that everyone has their own unspeakable hidden and painful skin, as a human being, the instinct is to see yourself first, and then take care of others, this is human nature, so you have to be tolerant, with a great love to tolerate the harm of others to you, maybe it is just a derivative of other people's self-preservation.
The kid is messing around, and no one blames him, because he doesn't understand! It's the same with adults, although many people seem to have grown up, but they will also be very naΓ―ve when dealing with some problems, and they will hurt you, you have to forgive! If you forgive him, you will let yourself go, and you will really let go! Look at him with compassion and treat him like a child. β
Gao Zhan said earnestly: "Whether it's a breakup or a divorce, Cheng Jia, you will understand in the future that many things will become small things in the end, it is just a particularly inconspicuous little thing in your life, and it will pass!" Don't punish your present self with past troubles, even if you're wrong! Because we can't do it all over again, we can only move forward, and only you can control what is in front of us! β
Cheng Jia burst into tears and nodded.
Gao Zhan was very distressed, and he gently wiped away Cheng Jia's tears with his rough fingers.
"Cheng Jia, don't cry! I want you to laugh every day, life is too short, why should we have trouble with ourselves? Do whatever you want, be worthy of heaven and earth, and don't be unkind to yourself. Forget all the unpleasantness, forgive them, and look down on them, okay? β
Cheng Jia's tears flowed even more fiercely, she suddenly threw herself into Gao Zhan's arms, and choked up: "Okay, I forgive them!" β
I was thinking in my heart: Gao Zhan, if I lose you one day, I will definitely not forgive myself!
Gao Zhan patted Cheng Jia gently.
"Cheng Jia, look, how beautiful the scenery is in the distance!"
