The fireworks in the sky soon attracted the attention of the entire village. Everyone ran out of the house, looked up at the colorful fireworks in the sky with surprise, one after another.
"Oh! Fireworks! Fireworks!"
The children in the village clapped their hands happily and looked at the fireworks in the night sky excitedly.
The New Year atmosphere filled the entire mountain village, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
After the fireworks were set off, everyone returned to the main room.
"Dad, Mom, we're going to Qingliang Temple to pray for blessings. Do you want to come with us?" Zhan Yihan asked. Gu Qiuyu also had a car, so there was enough space for everyone to go together.
"We won't go. You young people can go." Zhan Dafeng said with a smile.
"Yeah, I can't stay up late when I'm old." Wang Meizhen agreed. They followed, but they didn't have much fun either.
"Yiping, do you want to go with us?" Zhan Yihan looked at Zhan Yiping.
"No," Zhan Yiping refused. She didn't want to go with Su Jinyue. Unless Su Jinyue didn't go, but she knew that was impossible.
Zhan Yihan nodded lightly and looked at Su Jinyue and the others, "Let's go."
"Okay." Su Jinyue and others responded at the same time.
Zhan Yeping gritted her teeth in anger as she watched everyone disappear through the door. It wasn't like she really didn't want to go. Couldn't she have asked a few more questions? It was all that pesky Su Jinyue's fault.
"Why are you so awkward now?" Wang Meizhen looked at Zhan Yeping and shook her head and sighed.
"How can I be uncomfortable? You're obviously biased. Am I your daughter, or is it Su Jinyue?" Zhan Yiping grew angrier the more she thought about it. She stood up and walked quickly to her room. In the past, her eldest, second, and third brothers would have coaxed her until she agreed. But this time, only her eldest brother asked. She felt like she had no sense of existence in this family, even less than Su Jinyue and Gong Xiaoyun, two outsiders.
Wang Meizhen shook her head helplessly, "I really don't know when I will grow up."
Su Jinyue and the others sent Xu Tiansheng back to the clinic and drove to Qingliang Temple. Xu Tiansheng liked quietness, so naturally he would not go with them.
Before they entered Qingliang Temple, they saw the square outside the temple filled with people coming to pray.
"There are so many people!" Zhan Yilin exclaimed. This was also his first time at Qingliang Temple.
"I've heard before that many people come to Qingliang Temple to pray for blessings during the New Year. This time I really saw it. I heard that many people are waiting to burn the first incense and ring the bell." Zhan Yifeng said.
"What does burning the first incense stick mean?" Gu Qiuyu asked, somewhat confused. Coming from the Hidden Sect, she really didn't understand these worldly customs.
"It means being the first to place incense in the temple's incense burner, hoping it will bring you good luck for the whole year," Su Jinyue explained. In a previous life, she had also been the first to burn incense. She remembered meeting the temple's abbot, Master Wuxin, who said to her, "This donor will have a calamity in this life. It is both death and rebirth." She didn't understand it before, but now she understands it all.
"This is fun, I want to try it." Gu Qiuyu said with interest.
A group of people walked into Qingliang Temple. There were more people inside than outside. At a glance, the temple was full of people. They could only follow the crowd and move forward slowly.
Su Jinyue glanced around and saw that there were not many people in the courtyard behind the main hall. "Let's go there."
Seeing Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan squeeze to the right, everyone hurried to follow.
After finally squeezing out of the crowd, everyone followed Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan around the main hall and came to the backyard. Although there were some people here, it was not as crowded as before.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan looked at a middle-aged couple not far away. They were standing in front of a huge rock accompanied by a young girl, admiring the calligraphy carved on the rock.
"That's them." Zhan Yihan said softly.
Su Jinyue nodded slightly, flicked her finger, and a small ball of white powder floated silently towards the middle-aged woman who exuded elegance.
"The words are written in one breath, like the endless Yangtze River. What beautiful calligraphy!" The middle-aged man looked at the words on the boulder with admiration.
"Haoran, I feel a little dizzy." The middle-aged woman next to him rubbed her temples and said with an uncomfortable look on her face.
"Mom, let me help you sit over there for a while." The girl reached out and supported the middle-aged woman.
Qin Haoran and Qin Mengyao helped Fang Shuyi to sit on a stone chair nearby. "Shuyi, sit here for a while. I'll go find the abbot and ask him to take your pulse." He knew that the monk Ku Ji here knew some medical skills. Every year, Qingliang Temple would hold a free porridge and medical consultation event, which benefited many ordinary people.
"I happen to be a doctor. If you don't mind, I can help this aunt." Su Jinyue said as she pulled Gong Xiaoyun forward.
Qin Haoran glanced at Su Jinyue, smiled and nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, young friend." Although the other party was young, there was a sense of confidence in his expression.
"No need..." Qin Mengyao wanted to refuse, but seeing that her father had agreed, she could only stop talking in disappointment.
Su Jinyue put her hand on Fang Shuyi's wrist. After a long moment, she withdrew her hand and said, "Don't worry, it's just some symptoms of anemia. I have some medicine here. One pill will relieve the symptoms."
"Are you a liar? Just tell me how much you want." Qin Mengyao couldn't help but speak.
"I'm trying to help your mother with her treatment out of kindness, how can you say that?" Su Jinyue looked at Qin Mengyao unhappily. She was indeed the same person as those three women.
"Mengyao!" Qin Haoran also scolded Qin Mengyao sternly.
"Dad, how could such a coincidence happen? Mom suddenly felt unwell and she showed up, and she even happened to have medicine with her." Qin Mengyao retorted unhappily. This was clearly a common tactic used by scammers. How could Dad, who is so smart, not see it?
"Since you don't believe it, forget it. Let's go." Su Jinyue pulled Gong Xiaoyun and turned to leave.
Qin Haoran also had some doubts in his heart, but he was sure that Su Jinyue was a doctor, otherwise she would not know that his wife had anemia.
Thinking of this, he called out to Su Jinyue, "My friend, please wait a moment!"
"Dad!" Qin Mengyao shouted unhappily. Dad was making fun of Mom's health. How could she believe a liar? He was so young? How could he look like a doctor?
Su Jinyue stopped and turned to look at Qin Haoran, "Anything else?"
"Young man, can you give me a pill?" Qin Haoran asked. He had already agreed with the host that at midnight, their family would go to burn the first incense sticks, pray for blessings, and ring the bell to welcome the New Year. If they returned like this, the coming year might be unlucky.
