Chapter 284 Spring Festival Travel



Yi Feifei drove to the supermarket, and Yi Xiaohui asked, "Mom, did you buy the car so quickly?"

Yifeifei said, "It won't be that fast. After buying the car, we still need to register it and get the license plates. Mom will probably be running around until dark. Your Uncle Song suggested I buy a high-end car. Mom doesn't have enough money, so I'm coming to get some."

Yi Xiaohui said, "Take whatever amount you need from the finance department."

Yi Feifei is also a boss here. She went to the supermarket's finance department and found the accountant and cashier to pay out 80,000 yuan.

She drove back to the car factory with cash, and the staff processed the paperwork for a car worth 300,000 yuan, paying a difference of 120,000 yuan.

Song Erwang followed her into the warehouse. The cars came in three colors: red, white, and black. Since Yi Feifei and her daughter were both women, they ultimately chose a red car.

This sedan boasts a luxurious interior, high horsepower, high speed, and an even more refined and beautiful exterior.

The workshop mechanic installed a battery for her and added a small amount of gasoline—enough to get her to the gas station.

Yi Feifei got into the car, said goodbye to Lao Song, started the car, and drove out of the car factory.

She first went to the gas station to fill up the car, and then didn't get the car registered until after 4 p.m.

When Yi Feifei was young, she got a driver's license, but she never expected that it would take so many years before she could own her own car and finally put her driver's license to good use.

On the 25th of the year, Su Wei walked into Dong Qing's house. Li Yuzhu said, "What a rare guest! What brings you to our house today? Girl, we don't owe you any money, do we?"

Su Wei hadn't visited Dong Qing's house for several years, so it's normal for Li Yuzhu to say that.

They often joked around when they met. Su Wei laughed and said, "You little rascal, you really have a bad memory. Don't you really owe your sister-in-law any money? I have to do a good job of calculating it for you today. How many years has it been since you last gave me my husband's monthly allowance of 2,000 yuan?"

Life was generally tough in the 1980s. Dong Qing and his wife did indeed secretly give Chen Hong a subsidy of 2,000 yuan every month. Later, after Su Wei became wealthy through business, they stopped giving her this money. It wasn't that Dong Qing and his wife didn't want to give it to her; they had long forgotten about it because Su Wei became so rich later.

Dong Qing and his wife laughed after hearing this. Li Yuzhu laughed so hard she squatted down, clutching her stomach, and said with a smile, "You're so funny, girl. Do you really need that little bit of money?"

Su Wei laughed along with them, then said, "Let me tell you something serious. We used to be able to hang out and chat together, but these past few years we've been so busy we haven't been able to get together at all. How about we don't stay home this Spring Festival? Let's go on a trip together for the New Year, okay?"

Dongqing said, "Sister-in-law, you really know how to keep up with the times. Okay, you tell me where we want to travel?"

Su Wei said, "I've gained a lot of weight in the past few years. I won't eat meat this Spring Festival; I'll eat vegetarian food. Let's go to a nunnery for a vacation."

After hearing this, Dong Qing said, "You really do come up with all sorts of ideas. Don't you know that nunneries generally don't accept male tourists to stay overnight?"

Su Wei said, "I really don't know. How about this, you two grown men don't have to suffer with us. Stay home and eat fish and meat during the Spring Festival. Yu Zhu and I will go with you. We two women can stay at the nunnery however we want."

Dong Qing said, "To be honest, I really don't want to suffer with you. Okay, you go ahead. Be careful on the road. There's an old saying: 'Don't go out on the seventh day of the lunar new year, and don't go home on the eighth day.' Tomorrow is the 26th of the lunar new year. You can set off tomorrow morning."

Su Wei stood up and said, "Okay, Yuzhu, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow morning. Come to my house for breakfast, and then we'll set off."

Li Yuzhu said okay and saw Su Wei out the door.

After Li Yuzhu saw Su Wei off, she returned to the living room and Dong Qing said, "That woman really does whatever she wants. Are you really willing to eat vegetarian food with her during the Spring Festival?"

Li Yuzhu smiled and said, "What I eat isn't important; what's important is that I also want to lose weight."

Living conditions have been so good these past few years, it's hard not to gain weight. Li Yuzhu is really afraid that she will gain weight.

The next morning, after Li Yuzhu got up and washed, she carried her luggage to the car in the yard, put it in the trunk, and Dong Qing said, "I'll take you there."

Li Yuzhu said, "No need to send them. You won't have time to look after the children while I'm not home. We'll send them to Mom when the three kids get up in a bit."

Dong Qing is always on the go, and he really can't take care of the children when his wife isn't home. He nodded after hearing what his wife said.

Dong Qing opened the door, Li Yuzhu got into the car, told her husband "See you next year," started the car, and drove out of the house.

I drove up to Su Wei's villa, parked the car, got out, and went inside.

Su Wei had already prepared breakfast, and the two of them went to the table and sat down to eat.

Li Yuzhu asked, "Isn't your husband and son home?"

Su Wei said, "Chen Hong took his son to stay at his father's house last night. We won't wait for him; we'll leave after we finish dinner."

The two quickly finished breakfast. Su Wei took her luggage and went outside. She put the luggage in the trunk of Li Yuzhu's car, got in with Li Yuzhu, and Li Yuzhu started the car and drove off.

In this day and age, highways have been built in many places, so we arrived at the temple at 5:30 pm.

The two people parked their car in front of a nunnery and got out to walk towards the nunnery.

The two quickly found the abbess of the nunnery.

The nun wasn't particularly old, in her forties, and she was bald. Although she was dressed as a monk, it couldn't hide her beauty; she was very pretty.

The nun asked, "How long do you plan to stay?"

Su Wei said, "Depending on the situation, we'll stay until at least the sixth day of the Lunar New Year next year."

Li Yuzhu took out 10,000 yuan as incense money from her bag and gave it to the nun. The nun thanked her and accepted it, then arranged a room for the two of them.

In the evening, two young nuns brought food: two servings of stir-fried cabbage, two bowls of porridge, and two flatbreads.

The two women said "Please enjoy your meal" and left.

Li Yuzhu smiled as she looked at the food, saying, "Sister-in-law, didn't you want to lose weight? Eat up, it's hard not to lose weight here."

As the saying goes, fat comes from the mouth; it's hard to gain weight if you eat vegetarian food every day.

Li Yuzhu said, "You probably don't know this, but nuns only eat one meal a day. For example, if they eat lunch today, they have to wait until lunch tomorrow to eat again. Dinner is specially prepared for us."

Su Wei looked at Li Yuzhu in disbelief and said, "Nonsense! Can a person stand eating only one meal a day?"

Li Yuzhu smiled and said, "I really don't need to argue with you about this. You can ask the nun when she comes to collect the dishes."

Not long after the two finished eating, a young nun came to the room to collect the dishes. Su Wei asked, "Master, do you really only eat one meal a day?"

The nun said, "Yes, we only eat one meal a day at noon."

Su Wei asked, "Three meals a day is a lifestyle tradition passed down from our ancestors. Why do you only eat one meal a day? Don't you have money for food?"

The nun smiled and said, "It's not what you think, benefactor. We monks cannot be greedy for food. Excessive greed will affect our mindset for spiritual practice. We follow this traditional virtue and, according to the temple's custom, we only eat one meal a day at noon."
