After inviting the Bodhisattva in, Zhang Lan came back twice on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The worry is that the parents will not be able to wipe their face, and when the time comes, they will let people go into their yards to burn incense.

In fact, Zhang Lan, who was simply from the village coming to burn incense and make offerings, did not object, but how to say it, after the name of the miracle spread, all kinds of disgusting things began to happen as soon as there were more people.

Zhang Lan worships the Bodhisattva, and the original intention is to worship it at home in the house. At first, he used the name of a bodhisattva to treat people for a while, but after he went to Kyoto, his family didn't plan to let people come again.

After that, he thought that the decoration of the old house was more luxurious, and there were two cars parked, and it was not the same thing to lock the door all the time, so he asked his parents to move back to live in the old house.

While being close to home, it also makes the house a little popular.

It's a good house, if no one lives in it all the time, it feels like it's deserted after a long time, even if the various machines inside are on, which purifies and ventilates, but if no one lives in it, it gives people the feeling of being dilapidated from the inside out.

Walking into the courtyard, Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment, there was a rectangular stone incense burner in the middle of the courtyard, and a circle was surrounded by stones in the corner not far away, and a middle-aged man stood next to him with a wooden stick carrying the gold and silver paper money burning inside.

Then he looked at the people kneeling and kowtowing in the east room, 'Huh! I didn't come back for a while, and there was originally a room for offering tables and a bodhisattva, but now there are a lot of pennants hanging on three walls, and then there are chairs and futons on both sides.

'Huh? Zhang Lan couldn't help but walk into the house, looked at the offering table in front of the Bodhisattva statue and asked an old lady who had just gotten up on the side: "When did you put this donation box?" ”

Zhang Lan walked to the table and found that the table covered with yellow cloth was not the one he put before, and a special table with a donation box in front of it was placed, and two QR codes were posted next to it.

Zhang Lan suddenly smiled, and called her mother with her mobile phone: "Mom, in the courtyard next to here, who put the donation box in front of this Bodhisattva statue?" ”

Zhang Lan's voice was very loud, Zhang Lan's mother on the other side of the phone hadn't spoken yet, and the young woman kowtowing next to her was not happy, and said, "Can I go out to make a call?" What's wrong with putting a donation box here, I'm happy to give some love to the Bodhisattva. ”

"Yes, no one cares about this, how much is a heart, and I don't force you to donate."

The woman's words caused the rest of the room to talk, and then someone in the courtyard seemed to hear it, and a middle-aged man who was holding a wooden stick and carrying burning paper money in the courtyard approached and asked, "What's the matter?" What's wrong with this donation box? It's not the money from the donation box, how did the stone incense burner in this yard come from. ”

Zhang Lan looked at the middle-aged man, who was probably in his fifties, but he didn't know him at all. Listening to his words, this donation box was not put by him, and it is estimated that it is also an insider.

Zhang Lan glanced at him and asked, "Which one are you?" The house is private, don't you know? Also the stone incense burner in the yard, did I let you get it? ”

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man who was still imposing was stunned, and then said with a smile on his face: "It's Zhang Lan, when did you come back?" Why didn't you hear your mother mention it? ”

"You know me? Then you can explain to me what is going on in this donation box. I invite a Bodhisattva to put it is for everyone's convenience, I don't think it's as good as me locking the door directly, not far away is the village temple, where to burn incense and donate as much as you want, you just demolished the temple and rebuilt one, I don't have any opinion at all. Looking at the man with a smile on his face, Zhang Lan didn't bother to give him face, and still asked unceremoniously.

The middle-aged man didn't expect Zhang Lan to not even ask who he was, and directly reprimanded him unceremoniously, and the smile on his face couldn't be maintained.

At this time, other people burning incense in the courtyard also came around, and some of the uncles and aunts in the village said nonsense: "Zhang Lan is not someone else, it is the person from the village who arranged by Zhang Dashan to come and take care of it. ”

At this time, Zhang Lan's mother also walked in from outside the courtyard, looking at the embarrassing atmosphere in the courtyard, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Lan, you only came back today, I haven't had time to mention it to you, this is your Uncle Jiansheng, and the village arranged for him to come over often to clean up this place, and by the way, eliminate potential safety hazards." ”

Seeing that other people around him were also playing in the round, Zhang Lan didn't speak, turned around and walked into the house, holding the multi-functional tool knife on the key, and while his mind moved, he gently picked it with a blade on the edge of the two collection codes, and the collection code attached to the table was picked up by Zhang Lan.

With two collection codes, Zhang Lan went out and threw them directly into the corner where the paper money was burned, and then turned his head and said: "I took out this place to make people worship a Bodhisattva with kindness, and now it's disgusting to make this donation box, I miss this money." I'll go to the brigade to find Zhang Dashan. ”

Zhang Lan came out of the yard with the front foot, and Zhang Lan's mother quickly followed with the back foot, and after walking a few steps, she said: "What's the matter with you kid, I just don't want you to be so stiff, look at what you just did, how bad it is to spread this." ”

Zhang Lan took out her mobile phone, or called Zhang Dashan first, and then replied: "Mom, don't worry about this matter, did Zhang Dashan mention it to you in the donation box?" ”

"He told me after he put it away, I didn't care about it if I thought about it, and we didn't spend that money." Zhang Lan's mother said.

Zhang Lan sighed and said helplessly: "Why don't you tell me about this, I have to ask him to change the table for me when I know, who is he disgusting, and he used the money from the donation to buy an incense burner, can I use him to buy it?" ”

After the phone was connected, Zhang Dashan asked with a smile, "Is it Zhang Lan?" Is there anything wrong with the phone call? ”

Zhang Lan asked directly: "Did you let you put the donation box in the house next to my house?" ”

Zhang Dashan paused for a moment before replying: "Yes, I discussed this matter with other people in the village, there are more and more people who go there to burn incense, and no one usually cares, so I want to put that donation box, and when I have money, I will maintain the environment of the house. ”

"That's my house, and I put the Bodhisattva there, you don't mention it to me if you think there's a safety hazard, what does it mean to put that donation box?" What Zhang Dashan said was very reasonable, but Zhang Lan didn't believe what Zhang Dashan said at all, what kind of safety hazards, it wasn't that after the reputation spread, there were more and more people who made incense, and after staying in the house for less than two minutes just now, Zhang Lan saw someone throw ten yuan into it.

Not to mention much on this day, it is very easy to have dozens or hundreds of dollars. And once someone who has incense comes to repay his vows, how can he not have a few hundred yuan in cash, plus offerings, a few thousand a month, and more than tens of thousands of dollars.
