Chapter 221: Master Xiangyun
After about seven or eight minutes, a monk dressed in a plain linen cotton robe walked out of the temple, his face was wrinkled but he looked very kind.
The heavy cotton coat has large and small patches, and the thin body looks very thin even in thick clothes.
"Hello Master Xiangyun." Shen Yichen said.
"Amitabha, Lord Shen, you have been waiting for a long time, who is this?" Master Xiangyun raised his hand and bowed slightly to the two of them.
"Hello Master Xiangyun, I'm Yichen's friend Chen Yuanyuan." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Hello Chen Shizhu, I've been waiting outside for a long time, come in and sit down." Master Xiangyun said, and also told the children to hurry back indoors and not get cold.
The two followed Master Xiangyun into the temple, and after the end of the world, no one came to worship the Buddha, but the temple was still clean and tidy, and there was a faint smell of burning in the air.
After Master Xiangyun took three straw futons to the side of the temple, beckoned the two to sit down, and then took a small charcoal stove to make tea.
"I'm really sorry, the side hall has now been changed into a children's living room, and I can only let the two donors drink hot tea here with the poor monk." Master Xiangyun said.
"It's okay, it's hard to host." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"I just received news yesterday that the shelter for orphans has been arranged, and someone will come to the island the day after tomorrow to pick up the children." Shen Yichen said.
"Good, good, thanks to Lord Shen's help, the children can have a place to live, you can taste it, it's just some coarse tea, I picked it in the mountains earlier." After Master Xiangyun poured a cup of hot tea for the two of them, he coughed a few times.
Chen Yuanyuan tasted a sip of hot tea, and after swallowing the slightly bitter taste, it brought a little sweetness, and the whole body warmed up under the hot tea.
"Host, I'm here to get seafood for lunch!" After Ye Ye took the child back to the bedroom, he and a big boy came to the main hall to cook seafood.
"Go ahead, stay safe when lighting the fire." Master Xiangyun said.
Chen Yuanyuan watched the two older children leave with seafood, and it is really rare to be able to cook rice on a fire at the age of about eleven or twelve years old.
In Xiangcheng, and even most families everywhere, the children in the family regard them as treasures, not to mention cooking, and some can't even boil water to make a cup of noodles.
The three of them drank tea and chatted, and Master Xiangyun did not hide the secret of the jade relic, and generously told Chen Yuanyuan.
When asked about Master Xiangyun's physical condition, he saw Master Xiangyun sigh.
"Fate gathers and fate is scattered, like clouds and smoke, life and death, heaven is natural." Master Xiangyun said thoughtfully.
"Aren't you going to go to the shelter with the kids?" Chen Yuanyuan asked curiously.
"Amitabha, the Buddha asked me to temporarily tie up with the jade relics, and I have his own arrangements." Master Xiangyun said.
After a while, Ye Ye came to call Master Xiangyun to have lunch, and the two didn't want to disturb at first, but they didn't say much after the children enthusiastically stayed.
The seafood is mainly steamed, although it is not seasoned much, but the fresh ingredients taste very good, plus a bowl of wild vegetables with mixed grains porridge, the children eat very fragrant.
Chen Yuanyuan usually eats fragrant and spicy food, and even if he has space to go out, he can eat a variety of dishes.
But the taste of this meal is particularly profound, not because of how delicious the food is, but because of the taste of a stable meal that is rare in the last days.
"Master Xiangyun, we came over this time to bring some new clothes and supplies for the child, do you have a scooter here that you can borrow, let's go to the boat and get it." After Chen Yuanyuan finished eating, he asked Master Xiangyun.
"Thank you, donor, we don't have a vehicle here, but we have a tricycle, I'll let Liu Xiao accompany you to get it." Master Xiangyun said.
Master Xiangyun and Liu Xiao took Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen to the backyard, only to see a three-car and a dilapidated bicycle.
There were only two cars to travel, and it happened that Shen Yichen had something to do, so Chen Yuanyuan asked Shen Yichen to stay in the temple, and then rode to the dock to pick up supplies with Liu Xiao, the boy who had just cooked.
It was noon, and on the way to come just now, several villagers happened to go out to exchange some supplies, and when they saw Liu Xiao, they also greeted him and stuffed some food into him.
After arriving at the pier, Chen Yuanyuan said hello to the fishermen in the straw hats and went to the yacht.
"Little brother, how many children do you have?" Chen Yuanyuan only saw about a dozen children when he was eating, and he was afraid that it would be inconvenient to move to the shelter when he took too much, and if he took too few children, he would not be able to get enough points.
"We have twenty-one children, but Sister Ye was taking care of the baby in the house just now, so she didn't come to eat." Liu Xiaodao.
"You still have a baby, huh? How old is that? Are you still eating milk powder? Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"It's been four months, and the baby's grandparents left last month, and they can't contact their parents, and now it's the rice soup that Sister Ye feeds him when he cooks porridge." Liu Xiao thought for a while.
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel a heartache when he heard it, they were all a group of children who had to take care of smaller children.
"You wait for me here, I'll get on the boat and clean up." In front of outsiders, Chen Yuanyuan was inconvenient to pick up things in the air, so he asked Liu Xiao to wait at the dock.
"Okay, if it's too heavy to hold it, you can call me again." Liu Xiaodao.
After Chen Yuanyuan entered the cabin, he took 25 sets of children's down jackets, cotton pants and some clothes of different sizes from the space.
was afraid that Zhang Linlin would be pregnant, so in order to prepare for the child, Chen Yuanyuan bought a lot of children's clothes.
In addition, when searching in Kwai District, there were several merchants who were engaged in children's clothing business, and Chen Yuanyuan didn't want to use it at that time, so he collected a lot, and at this time he could donate a small part.
I thought of having a baby of more than four months, and you also took a baby's cover, a thick jumpsuit, diapers and a carton of milk powder.
Although you can't eat a box of milk powder for long, you can almost eat complementary food in four months, and it's good to survive this time.
There is no shortage of food on the island, but they are all a group of developing children, so Chen Yuanyuan took more than 30 bottles of calcium tablets and various different types of vitamins by the way.
After taking out all the things, Chen Yuanyuan took the supplies to the deck and called Liu Xiao to come over and help move the tricycle.
Liu Xiao saw a large pile of materials and thanked Chen Yuanyuan repeatedly, so he started to carry the materials into the car.
The clothes piled the car full, fortunately it was not too heavy, Chen Yuanyuan originally wanted to ride a heavier tricycle, but at Liu Xiao's insistence, he still rode the bicycle.
After the two returned to the temple with supplies, they saw Shen Yichen busy cutting the children's hair with a hair clipper, and Master Xiangyun thanked Chen Yuanyuan repeatedly for his donation after seeing the full tricycle.
Ye Ye and Liu Xiao assigned clothes to the children on the spot according to their size and height.
Chen Yuanyuan watched the children happily try on new clothes, and felt that this trip was quite meaningful.
Although Chen Yuanyuan was not stupid enough to adopt two of them home, he suddenly felt that the children were also very cute when he looked at the children who were jumping up and down with joy.
But cuteness is cuteness, and having children in the last days is not considered.
