Seeing Jiang Tingzhou worship Buddha like that, Xu Wan realized that what she had just done might have been wrong.
Just as she was about to lower her head like Jiang Tingzhou, Jiang Tingzhou, who had just stood up, saw her.
The man gently raised his hand to stop her, saying, "One of us can pray. You're pregnant, so I'll do it."
Xu Wan wanted to ask a question, but after glancing at the monk beside her, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
The man bowed three more times before straightening up. He did not stand up immediately, but instead clasped his hands together in front of him, seemingly continuing to silently recite something in his mind.
Xu Wan didn't get up, but secretly glanced over out of the corner of her eye.
The man closed his eyes, his face peaceful and devout.
After a dozen seconds, the man looked up at her. Xu Wan quickly blushed and lowered her head, asking, "Are you done making your promise? If you are, I'll get up with you."
"Um."
Jiang Tingzhou stood up first, then pulled Xu Wan up.
Then, the man took out his wallet and placed a stack of 100-yuan bills into the donation box next to him.
After leaving the temple, Xu Wan asked softly, "If I don't pray for this myself, will it not work?"
"How could that be? I am your husband, and the child in your belly is my child. It doesn't matter who comes to worship between us."
Jiang Tingzhou pulled Xu Wan and walked outside.
When Xu Wan entered, she noticed that there were many small shelves, each about the height of a person, with many wishing plaques hanging on them.
The two of them walked around for a while and finally found the place that sold wishing plaques.
"Shall we hang one of these too?"
Xu Wan pulled Jiang Tingzhou aside and asked.
The man naturally agreed.
The two people came today to pray for a safe delivery, so they only bought one item and focused on this one thing.
Jiang Tingzhou took a pen and wrote the words "May mother and child be safe" on the sign. The two of them then wrote their names below.
"I'll go hang it up."
Xu Wan carried the sign to hang it up.
She wanted to hang the sign on the top shelf, but she wasn't tall enough and couldn't get it up after several attempts.
Just when she was about to give up, Jiang Tingzhou bent down and picked Xu Wan up upright, instantly giving her a height that made her stand out from the crowd.
Xu Wan also hoped that her child would be born safely, so she carefully tied the two ropes connecting the sign, and finally tied a knot to put her mind at ease.
"I've tied it up."
As Xu Wan spoke, she didn't forget to tug at the sign again to make sure it was secure before she felt at ease.
After Jiang Tingzhou put her down, he looked up at the prayer plaques hanging at the top and raised his arm, saying, "You're still very light. Even if you gained 50 kilograms, I could still carry you."
"boast!"
"Ready to be tested at any time."
"I don't want to gain fifty kilograms."
The young couple chatted and laughed as they walked toward the door.
We had only walked a few meters.
Clang.
The sound of a wooden sign hitting the ground came from behind.
Even though the voice was very soft, Xu Wan felt that she could hear it very clearly.
She instinctively turned her head and saw a wooden sign lying quietly on the ground right below the shelf where they had just hung the sign.
"A wooden sign has fallen off."
When Xu Wan spoke, she first looked up to check if the wooden sign she had just hung up was still there.
Unfortunately, there were many wooden signs hanging on the shelf, making it difficult to tell which one she had just hung.
However, she had already started walking towards the fallen wooden sign.
She walked over quickly, bent down, and picked up the wooden sign from the ground.
Above are the five characters that Jiang Tingzhou just wrote: "May mother and child be safe and sound."
How did it fall off...?
Xu Wan's heart skipped a beat.
Hearing the man's footsteps approaching, she tried to control her emotions and turned to Jiang Tingzhou in a relaxed tone, saying, "I was too careless; I didn't tie it tightly just now."
