Chapter 27 Temple
Gree Restaurant.
Zheng Yu sat at the big round table, looking at the person opposite him.
The people opposite were eating with relish.
Sitting next to him was Zheng Yu's father, who said, "Dayu, you and Xiaoshuo should be studying in the same school."
Wu Shuo on the opposite side took the time to reply, "Uncle, I've seen her at school."
Zheng Yu nodded, "I've seen you before, but you're more narcissistic."
"Dayu, what are you talking about?" Zheng Yu's father reminded.
An elegant male voice sitting on the side spoke, "It's okay, Lao Zheng, this proves that they are quite familiar with each other."
Zheng Yu had no appetite. Originally, the family came here to have New Year's Eve dinner, but when they entered the door, they ran into his father's friend's family, and finally they had dinner together. The most important thing was that his father's friend's son turned out to be him, a very narcissistic guy in school.
Looking at the way the person opposite me was eating, I sighed inwardly, thinking how hungry he must be.
She was a bit bored at the moment. Her father was chatting with his friends, and the two ladies also went to chat together, leaving only her and the narcissistic classmate Xiao Shuo.
"Ah," after sighing for who knows how many times, the father beside him said, "Dayu, your mother and I may have to stay here and chat with Uncle Wu and Aunt Yuan for a while. If you are bored, go home first."
Uncle Wu spoke up at this time, "It's not safe for a girl to go home alone. I see she hasn't eaten anything in the heavy rain. Maybe she doesn't feel comfortable sitting at the same table with us adults."
After saying that, he waved for the waiter to come over.
Said, "Open a new private room and serve another table separately."
After the waiter left, Zheng Yu's father looked at his daughter with some suspicion. She couldn't let go? How could he, as a father, not know this? She usually eats more happily than anyone else when she's hungry.
Just like that, Zheng Yu and Wu Shuo were called to the next box.
There were only two of them sitting at the huge round table, which looked strange no matter how you looked at it, especially since it was Chinese New Year today.
Wu Shuo gave his dad a thumbs up, "It's so cool to have a table all to himself!"
"You're not full yet?" Zheng Yu looked at him in surprise.
"No."
"There's one more thing: narcissism and a love of eating." She said word by word, "Classmate Wu Shuo."
Unexpectedly, he asked, "How do you know my name is Wu Shuo?"
Zheng Yu: That’s it, one more thing, my brain is not working well.
At this time, the waiter had come to serve the dishes, and plates of delicious dishes were brought to the table.
Before everything was served, Wu Shuo started eating the pork elbow in front of him.
Zheng Yu even passed the food in front of him to him, "Come on, come on, eat more."
It feels so good to eat big chunks of meat! Wu Shuo ate the meat in his mouth and then picked up the meat on the plate.
He glanced at her and asked, "You don't want to eat?"
"No."
"If you don't eat it, I will." This big pork elbow is really delicious.
Zheng Yu saw him eating pork elbow and swallowed his saliva. "Is it really that delicious?"
"Of course not."
She also picked up a piece, leaned in to smell it, and it was quite fragrant, so she put it in her mouth and started eating.
! ! The taste is pretty good.
Zheng Yu continued eating. It was indeed delicious, so he picked up another piece from the plate.
Wu Shuo glanced at her and said, "Oh, woman."
Zheng Yu didn't want to pay any attention to him. She was a little hungry at this time, so she picked up some dishes from other plates.

Xu Yucheng stayed at her grandmother's house for a few days and will return to the city tomorrow.
After lunch, she asked her grandfather for the specific address of the temple, then put on a coat and went out.
The cold has not subsided at all, and people on the road are wrapped up warmly. There are many people visiting relatives these two days, and there are cars parked on both sides of the road.
Grandpa said that the temple has been newly built and it is now convenient to get to the temple. Bus No. 6 goes to the temple and you can just take it to the end.
Xu Yucheng came to the bus. There were a lot of people here and people were getting on the bus continuously.
At this moment, a bus was full and about to leave. Before the door closed, the driver shouted loudly to Xu Yucheng at the door, "Hurry up and get on the bus, hurry up and get on the bus."
She was still trying to figure out which bus was No. 6. When she heard the driver talking to her, she asked, "Uncle, which bus is No. 6?"
There was a quarrel in the car, so Xu Yucheng walked closer.
The driver was in a hurry to drive and replied, "Yes, yes, get in the car."
After getting the answer, Xu Yucheng got into the car and closed the door behind him.
There was no room left in the car, so she walked to a place with a pole to hold on to, took out headphones from her woolen coat pocket, and played a song.
The bus is driving slowly on the street, and electric vehicles are riding side by side outside the window. The slow pace of life is always something to yearn for.
"Drowning" was playing in the headphones.
She likes to go through the door,
Before leaving,
And turned off the lights.
Sofunny,
Yaiyaiyaiyaiyaiyaiya,
Yaiyaiyaiyai,
Yaiyaiyaiyaiyaiyaiya,
It'ssofunnyyaiyai,
Yaiyaiyaiyaiyaiyaiya,
Yaiyaiyaiyai,
It'ssofunnyyaiyaiyaiyaiya,
Yaiyaiyaiyai.
Xu Yucheng likes this song very much, and it may be because she saw the creator’s words - I like you, so I am willing to "drown".
——
At this time, she looked out the window, her delicate brows slightly wrinkled. Didn't grandpa say that the bus would arrive in more than 20 minutes, and it was in the city? Why did the road outside feel like the suburbs?
She approached a grandmother sitting on a nearby seat and asked, "Hello, grandmother. I'd like to ask if this bus goes to the temple?"
"temple?"
"right."
The old man spoke louder, "This is not the bus to the temple, this is back to town."
In town? Xu Yucheng's heart tightened. Oh no! I got on the wrong bus.
I quickly walked to the driver's side, with an anxious look on my face, and explained, "Uncle, I got on the wrong bus."
This time the driver heard it and slammed on the brakes.
The person standing in the car was pushed forward due to inertia, and Xu Yucheng's first reaction was to hold the handrail next to him tightly.
The bus had stopped and the driver turned to look at her. "Did you get on the wrong bus?"
"Well, I'm going to the temple."
"This car is not going to the temple." The driver also remembered what she said before getting on the car. He was busy driving at the time and responded without hearing clearly.
With an apologetic look on his face, he said, "I'm sorry, little girl. How about I take you back?"
The car was full of people, and Xu Yucheng said, "It's okay, I got on the car without asking clearly, I'll get off here."
The driver thought for a moment and said, "Okay, by the way, you can take a taxi and I'll give you the fare."
As he said that, he lowered his head to take out the money.
Xu Yucheng saw the money box in the car with ten yuan written on it. She had the New Year's money given by her grandma and some change in her pocket, so she took out a ten-yuan note and put it in.
The car door opened when it stopped and she got out directly.
When the driver rummaged through his two pockets and took out the money, the man was gone. His eyes fell on the cash box on the side. Ten yuan was lying quietly in the empty box. The weather outside was very cold, but he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.
After getting off the car, Xu Yucheng returned the way she had come, using her mobile phone app to hail a taxi while walking.
Fortunately, a few minutes after she left, a car owner accepted the order.
——
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the temple.
There are many small stalls selling goods outside the temple, all shouting. People who come out of the temple will stand in front of the stalls and carefully choose.
Following the signs, we arrived in front of the main hall. There were several small halls around it, with red walls and green tiles, which looked very solemn.
The temple was much larger than Xu Yucheng had imagined. The incense burner outside the main hall was very bright. Before she got close, she could smell a faint fragrance. It was not unpleasant, but very comfortable.
People were coming and going from the hall, and she walked in.
Inside were various Buddha statues that Xu Yucheng couldn't name, and she followed the others in worshiping them.
Then he walked towards a monk sitting at the table next to him.
"Hello, I want to ask for eighteen seeds."
The monk looked up at her and saluted, "Wait a moment."
Xu Yucheng saw through the door of the main hall the blessing ribbons hanging on the trees outside. Some people also found something to step on and hung on the top.
After a while, the monk came out with a red cloth bag. The beads in his hand were very similar to the ones he saw in the boutique that day, but they seemed to be more shiny.
The monk held beads and circled the small incense burners in front of the Buddha statues in the hall.
After going around, walk back in from where you just came out.
He rested for a while before coming out again and giving her the cloth bag.
"If you are sincere, your wish will come true. Place it on the incense burner and circle it three times clockwise to complete the blessing."
Xu Yucheng took it carefully, and the fragrant smell from the cloth bag drifted to her nose.
"Whether you're praying for yourself, your loved ones, or your friends, you must first have a sincere heart. Sincerity is the key to success."
She lowered her eyes to look at the cloth bag in her hand for a moment, then said, "Okay."
Xu Yucheng put money in the donation box.
After leaving the hall, she followed the monk's instructions and walked around the incense burner three times, holding the eighteen seeds.
After it was over, she did not leave, but went to the side to buy a prayer belt and wrote a sentence on it.
I hope that everything goes well for those I love and those who love me, and that they can be safe and happy.
Walk to the tree, hold it with both hands and tie it on it. No matter whether it works or not, let it go with the wind, free and yearning.
