Chapter 176: Everything is fate
Lin Qiuyi left, got on the ox cart to the town, and brought with her only the small package she had brought with her, as well as her longing and apprehension for the future.
Shen Luzhu looked at Chu Yi, who had just come in from outside, and asked, "Everyone is gone?"
"Well, they were all sent away, Aunt Tang and Chu Ping, and they also went to send Lin Qiuyi on purpose, and they should have already taken the ox cart to the town by this time."
Shen Luzhu nodded: "She just told me a lot, she is a pitiful, but fortunately, it has all passed, and it is enough to live for herself in the future!"
Chu Yi stretched out his hand and hugged his wife: "Well, we will get better and better."
As he was talking, Xiao Zhengzheng, who was still sleeping in the shaker on the side, suddenly woke up waving his little hands and feet, and hummed cooperatively in his mouth, Chu Yi hurriedly picked him up and coaxed him gently.
"When Ah Niang brought Zhengzheng back, he was already asleep, so she didn't feed him, maybe she was hungry."
Shen Luzhu said and stretched out his hand to take the Zhengzheng in Chu Yi's arms, Xu accidentally loosened the small quilt that wrapped Zhengzheng, and saw that something seemed to have fallen to the ground, and when she rewrapped Zhengzheng, Chu Yi had already picked up the thing from the ground, which was a few pieces of paper folded together.
"It's ...... The deed of the uncle's house, and the title deed!"
Chu Yi was a little shocked and puzzled and showed the things in his hand to his wife, a total of four pieces of paper, which were the deed of the house at the end of the village of Uncle Chu's family, the title deed of five acres of cultivated land, a sales contract signed by Grandpa Chu and Lin Qiuyi at the settlement office, plus a letter written by Lin Qiuyi to the Chu family.
The letter once again wrote about Lin Qiuyi's gratitude to the Chu family, if it weren't for this family, she would have frozen to death in the early morning of that wax moon, and also mentioned that she had been thinking about how to express her gratitude to the Chu family in addition to thinking about how to live in the future.
She also said that she accidentally learned about the incident between Uncle Chu's family and the little couple, and watched the family being driven out of the village, she was very happy for the little couple, and finally thought of how to express her gratitude while being happy, so she simply bought the house and farmland of Uncle Chu's family and "returned the things to the original owners".
In the end, Lin Qiuyi also wrote that in the matter of buying and selling the house and farmland, Uncle Chu's family did not take advantage of themselves, not only that, but because no one cared about it at all, she finally bought the house and farmland at a price nearly thirty percent lower than the normal price, so that Shen Luzhu did not have to have a psychological burden, and just accepted it calmly.
"It must have been put in when Miss Lin was holding it right just now, while I wasn't paying attention, what should I do with these things?"
Chu Yi took these four pieces of paper with some weight, and also fell into a dilemma: "I don't know how far the ox cart has gone out, if you catch up with the car now, can you still catch up, can she tell Ah Zhu where you want to stay?"
Shen Luzhu shook his head: "No, I just said that I wanted to go to the town or county to do some small business, and I didn't mention it on the side, I patronized and chatted with her, and I didn't notice it at all."
Chu Yi folded the four pieces of paper again, and comforted his wife: "It's okay, let's collect it for her first, the town and the county are not far away, and we can always meet again."
Shen Luzhu nodded, although her contact with Lin Qiuyi was not very close, but she also knew a rough idea of her character, she was a little defensive, she didn't want to be involved too much, and she didn't want to owe anything to others, maybe it was because of these that she used this method to repay the favor of the Chu family.
"It's okay, I guess even if we really catch up now, she won't take it back, let's wait until the next time we meet, just like Xianggong said, the town and the county are not far away, and we can always meet again, even if we keep them for Miss Lin temporarily, she is a girl's family, and she always has to leave something to rely on."
After the full moon banquet, in Shen Luzhu's expectations, the forty-day confinement was finally over, and on the day the forty-day period expired, Shen Luzhu finally took a comfortable bath, freshened up and walked out of the house.
At this time, it was the end of February, and the weather was no longer as cold as before, with a little warmth of early spring, Shen Luzhu, who had just been allowed to go out of the house and had been lying on the kang for more than a month, was really a little unable to keep up with his feet, and he was holding a big fat man on weekdays
The son was relaxed, but after walking around the yard twice, he began to pant.
After pulling Chu Yi to accompany her to the village for several days of walking, Shen Luzhu finally fulfilled the plan he had made when he was still in confinement and went to Qizen Temple to pray for blessings.
On a sunny morning in March, after the little couple entrusted Zhengzheng to their aunt and cousin, they drove the ox cart and set off with Chu Ping and his wife towards Qichan Temple ten miles away.
Today is not a temple fair, nor did it catch up with the first day of the new year, the fifteenth day of the new year, there are not many people who come to Qizen Temple to incense, the ox cart is parked at the foot of the mountain, and the four of them began to hike up the mountain.
After entering the temple, they came straight to the statue of Guanyin, after kowtowing to the incense, the little couple accompanied Yuan Shuang with the sign that had just been asked for in the temple of Guanyin, and went to the palace to ask the master to help unsign.
Chu Ping and Yuan Shuang were lining up, and Shen Luzhu, who was waiting on the side, saw an "old friend" coming from the forest path not far away.
Tanuki seemed to know in advance that Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi were here, and lazily walked straight to Shen Luzhu who was standing outside the team waiting to be unsigned, and when she came to her, she raised her head and meowed at the two of them twice, as if to say, "Are you here?"
Shen Luzhu felt very new about everything that happened in front of him, and turned his head to Chu Yi in surprise and said, "Chu Yi, this raccoon cat is too powerful, it's been so long, it still remembers us!"
After that, he squatted down and touched the head of the raccoon flower: "Tanuki, did you know that we were here and came here specifically to find us?"
As if answering the other party's question with her own actions, the raccoon flower directly lay on her back at Shen Luzhu's feet, posing in the same posture as last time, revealing her round belly, and letting Shen Luzhu massage it.
Chu Yi also felt that this cat was very magical, how could it meet accurately every time, and it looked like it was self-familiar, the husband and wife were teasing the raccoon flowers, and suddenly three pairs of feet appeared before they met, one of which was wearing a monk's unique cloth shoes.
Chu Yi looked up and saw that it was the master and Chu Ping who were sitting behind the square table and signing for everyone, and they were busy supporting their wives, standing up and greeting: "Hello master."
The master looked very festive, and pointed to the raccoon flower who was still playing at Shen Luzhu's feet at this time: "Amitabha, in Xia Huineng, I was just about to unsign for these two, and I saw the two donors taking care of the raccoon flowers here, and when I asked, I realized that they came together, so I came over to disturb the two with a cheeky face, and dared to ask the two donors if they also encountered the raccoon flowers when they came a long time ago?"
Shen Luzhu nodded and replied, "That's true, the last time I came, I met it in front of the pool in front of the main hall, and I also met a little master at that time."
The master who unsigned the sign nodded and smiled: "It is the little apprentice of the poor monk, after he came back, he also told me about the tanuki trick for you to take care of, this cat is not related to each other on weekdays, so I still thought it was novel, but I didn't expect to meet it again today."
The little couple chatted with Master Huineng for a few words, Chu Ping and Yuan Shuang solved the signing, Yuan Shuang asked for a son today, and got a sign, and he was overjoyed.
The four of them waved goodbye to Master Huineng, and when they were about to go back, who knew that the raccoon flower actually followed, and her body rubbed on the ground on Shen Luzhu's legs, as if she hadn't been picked up enough, and she didn't want a few people to leave.
Master Huineng smiled when he saw it, and beckoned, "Tanuki, the donor is going home, don't come back soon."
Tanuki seemed to understand Master Huineng's words, tilted her head sideways to look at Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi, and then looked back at Master Huineng, who was greeting her, and took a few steps back.
Seeing this, the four of them waved goodbye to Master Huineng again, but they never thought that the tanuki cat heard the sound behind them, and trotted to the four of them again, this time lying directly on Shen Luzhu's upper like a fool, refusing to get up.
This time, no matter how Master Huineng greeted, he only looked sideways in the direction of the sound, and did not move half a step, so after a stalemate, Master Huineng could only come over and say to the tanuki, "Do you want to go with this female benefactor?"
Who knew that this time the tanuki cat actually moved, only to see it look between Master Huineng and Shen Luzhu again, and then got up and came to Master Huineng's side, walked around the master's feet a few times, and then unexpectedly
went straight back to Shen Luzhu's upper and lay down.
Seeing this, Master Huineng smiled, folded his hands and saluted the little two: "It seems that the raccoon flower has a deep relationship with the donor, and since it wants to go with the donor's house, then the donor will treat it well!"
"Master, this is your cat, how can it be taken away by me like this."
"Amitabha." Master Huineng recited the Buddha's name and said, "All beings are equal, the tanuki flower only belongs to itself, and does not belong to anyone.
After Master Huineng said that, he recited the Buddha's name, returned to the table at the back of the hall, and signed for the other pilgrims, ignoring the four people and one cat here.
And the raccoon flower also slipped off Shen Luzhu's upper after Master Huineng left, stretched his waist slowly, and then shouted at the four people behind him, as if to say, "Not going yet?"
Come to the temple to pray for blessings, and even harvest a raccoon cat, although the little couple is still a little confused, but they also like this extremely humane tanuki cat, since the master and the tanuki in the temple agree, how can there be anything to excuse.
The four of them followed behind the swaggering raccoon flower, all the way under the surprised gaze of everyone, walked out of the Qizen Temple, and walked towards the bottom of the mountain, until they came to the fork in the mountain, Xu did not know how to continue the road after that, the raccoon flower stopped at this time, turned his head and shouted twice to the little two,
Chu Yi stepped forward to pick up the raccoon flower, thinking that the cat would be directly avoided from the last temple fair, who thought that this time the raccoon flower was surprisingly cooperative, not hiding or avoiding letting Chu Yi pick it up, four people and a cat drove the ox cart all the way, back to the Chu family's old house.
