Chapter 25: Going to work is not as good as burning incense, praying for children is not as good as praying for wealth

At dawn, Zhou Qingti woke up earlier than Lu Yanzhi, a rare occurrence.

She planned to go to Wanfu Temple with Old Lady Lu to pray to the God of Wealth.

It took an hour and a half to drive to the foot of Wanfu Mountain, and she had to climb up.

Zhou Qingti was exhausted just after climbing halfway up the mountain. It seemed that he needed to exercise more in the future.

She, her third uncle, her third aunt, and Lu Daozhi climbed up the mountain, while her grandmother took her third uncle's youngest son up by cable car.

As for why they couldn’t take the cable car, it was because grandma said they had to be sincere.

Zhou Qingti treated it as exercise. An hour and a half later, she and her uncle's family finally reached Wanfu Temple.

The main reason was that Zhou Qingti and Third Aunt wasted a lot of time walking and looking at the scenery.

Third Aunt also quietly asked her when she and Lu Yanzhi planned to have a child.

Zhou Qingti smiled and said to let it be.

Third Aunt held her hand and said earnestly, "Your grandmother is looking forward to the arrival of her great-grandson. Come on, everyone."

Zhou Qingti smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes, so I am here to pray to the Buddha."

But whether she wants a child or wealth depends on her.

The old lady led her family to kneel before the Buddha with ease, muttering something.

Zhou Qingti followed suit and knelt down, praying to the Buddha to bless her with good fortune throughout her life.

Between making progress and going to work, she chose to burn incense.

Old Mrs. Lu pulled her to kneel in front of the Goddess of Childbirth and prayed devoutly.

Zhou Qingti silently said in his heart: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, I am not praying for a child now, I am praying for wealth. If you are familiar with the God of Wealth, please help pass on the message. I will definitely come to offer sacrifices to you again in the future. Amitabha.

Old Mrs. Lu asked the abbot for some blessed amulets, and Zhou Qingti also donated some incense to the donation box and received three amulets.

She decided to give one to her parents and one to Lu Yanzhi.

They had vegetarian lunch in the temple, which was surprisingly delicious. Zhou Qingti took a video and shared it with Lu Yanzhi.

After lunch, the family took the cable car down the mountain. The kindergarten kid from Uncle San’s family still liked to stick to Zhou Qingti and kept asking her to hold him.

Perhaps knowing that she was going abroad, she sat on Zhou Qingti's lap, hugged her, and asked, "Will we meet again in the future?"

Zhou Qingti also liked the well-behaved glutinous rice dumpling, and spoke in a gentle voice: "Of course, we will meet again when you grow up to this height."

After saying that, he raised his hand to indicate the height.

Glutinous Rice Dumpling was very happy and danced with joy: "Great, now that I'm this tall I can marry you and kiss you."

This sentence made everyone laugh, and Mrs. Lu was also recording a video with her mobile phone.

"You are such a smart kid, who taught you that?"

"Teacher Jiang! She said you can't kiss girls casually. You can only kiss them when you grow up and marry them. And you can't hit girls, you can only kiss them."

Looking at the cute and serious child in his arms, Zhou Qingti hugged him tighter: "Your teacher Jiang is right, but you can't marry me because I'm already your brother Yanzhi's wife. A person can only be one person's wife, so you can only marry one person."

Zhou Qingti originally thought that such a young child didn't understand anything, so he just laughed off what he had said to him before.

She realized today that children don’t understand, but adults must teach them seriously and instill correct values ​​in them from an early age.

Lu Yanzhi was watching the video his grandmother sent him in the office, and his face darkened when the little nuomituanzi said he wanted to marry him.

After hearing what Zhou Qingti said, my heart was filled with sweetness. These words sounded particularly beautiful coming from her mouth.

…

Zhou Qingti's waist was getting more and more sore, and she thought it was because she had climbed the mountain and carried the child in the morning.

Until my lower abdomen started to hurt, I went to the bathroom and saw that it was indeed my period.

I endured the pain and went to the pharmacy to buy a box of ibuprofen and went home. Just as I took a pill, the cooking aunt came.

"Miss Zhou, you're back so early today? I'll cook dinner quickly and call you when I'm done."

Zhou Qingti had no appetite and called out to his aunt, "Auntie, you don't have to cook today. Mr. Lu isn't coming back to eat, and I don't want to eat either. Just put the food in the refrigerator."

After saying that, he returned to the guest room and lay on the bed, waiting for the medicine to take effect.

Lu Yanzhi was having dinner with several Taiwanese businessmen today. He had already arrived at the restaurant door, but he stopped after taking a look at the WeChat message.

He said to Lan Xin and Assistant Dong, "I have something urgent to do, so I won't go in. You can entertain them well. You can also ask Mr. Li to come over."

After saying that, he took the car keys, stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

Lan Xin and Assistant Dong looked at each other: What's so urgent?

The WeChat message was sent to Lu Yanzhi by the cook.

[Ms. Zhou said she didn't want to cook today. I saw she looked very uncomfortable and took some medicine. She seemed to be sick.]

While waiting for the red light, Lu Yanzhi called Zhou Qingti.

After a while, the other party picked up the phone, and Zhou Qingti's weak voice came: "Hello, what's wrong?"

Lu Yanzhi was a little anxious: "Are you sick?"

"No, I just have my period and I feel uncomfortable all over." Zhou Qingti hummed while hiding in the quilt.

"I'll be home soon."

"Oh, no need..." Lu Yanzhi hung up the phone.

The medicine was slowly taking effect, and the pain in his lower abdomen had gone away, but his waist was still sore. When he was about to fall asleep, Lu Yanzhi came back.

Seeing Zhou Qingti on the bed in the guest room, he walked over and touched her forehead with the back of his hand. It felt a little cold.

Lu Yanzhi asked gently, "How is it? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Zhou Qingti turned over and said, "It's just my period, why go to the hospital? My back hurts now."

"Shall I give you a massage? Have you eaten? Why are you sleeping in the guest room again?" Lu Yanzhi's series of questions made her not know which one to answer.

"No, I'm afraid it will leak and stain the bed."

Lu Yanzhi looked at his watch. It was already past six o'clock. "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."

Zhou Qingti turned and looked at him, "I want to eat noodles, can you cook?"

Lu Yanzhi didn’t know how to cook noodles, but he thought it was very simple and he just needed to look at the tutorial.

"Yes, you get up first, I'll make you a cup of brown sugar water." He was afraid that she would have insomnia at night because he was going to bed now.

Zhou Qingti lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She looked down and found that something was wrong. She had forgotten to buy night supplies when she came back.

Having my period is annoying enough, and side leakage is even more annoying.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Lu Yanzhi quickly comforted her: "It's okay, I'll take care of it later. Go change your clothes first and wait for me in the living room."

Lu Yanzhi quickly changed the bed sheets without any blame or impatience.

Zhou Qingti felt warm in his heart when he saw the man who had remained calm.

"Leave it there. I'll ask Auntie to buy a bottle of blood-stain-cleaning detergent tomorrow.

"Okay, I'll go cook noodles first."

Zhou Qingti changed his pants and walked into the kitchen, seeing him searching for noodle-cooking tutorials on his tablet.

He held his forehead and said, "Let me teach you, don't look at the tutorial."

Lu Yanzhi obediently turned off the tablet: "Okay."

There were a lot of food in the refrigerator, and Zhou Qingti took some out. "You haven't had dinner either, have you?"

"Well, let's have noodles together."

This was the first time the two of them cooked together.

Zhou Qingti was about to boil water to wash the vegetables when Lu Yanzhi stopped her: "I'll wash them, don't touch the water."

Zhou Qingti didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm just having my period, it's not that precious."

Lu Yanzhi refused to listen. "Just tell me what to do with your mouth."

It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched by such care. But looking at the clumsy Lu Yanzhi, she felt that she was too early to be touched.
