"Mom and Dad, the most famous place in Xiurong City is Mount Wutai, which is also the dojo of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Let's go and pay our respects!"
Du Chen just wanted to not be too anxious along the way. Now they finally passed by Xiurong City, and there were places to visit here, so he suggested that the whole family go to Mount Wutai to pay their respects.
"Manjushri Bodhisattva? Then we should go burn incense and pray to him. May he bless you two brothers with academic success and wisdom!"
When Du Chen’s mother heard about Manjushri Bodhisattva, she was immediately interested.
Comrade Lao Du’s opinion is not important now. What is important is that everyone is happy. So Comrade Lao Du turned the steering wheel and the car drove towards Mount Wutai.
The Records of Famous Mountains states: "The five peaks of Mount Wutai stand tall and proud, rising above the clouds. There are no trees on the summit, and it resembles a platform of earth, hence the name Wutai."
At present, the development of domestic tourist attractions is very primitive. There are not as many people coming and going as later, and there are not so many routines. Moreover, the overall environment is poor, so not many people come to travel.
There were not many people along the way, and Du Chen liked this feeling very much. Mount Wutai itself is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains. There are not many people here now, and many buildings have not been repaired, revealing the marks of time.
Mount Wutai is too big, so Du Chen and his friends didn't spend much time exploring it. They just paid homage to Manjushri Bodhisattva. Du Chen's mother hoped that her two sons would be successful in their studies.
Then the family went to the Wuye Temple. Du Chen had heard in his previous life that the Wuye Temple in Mount Wutai was very effective and popular, especially many businessmen competed to perform operas for Wuye, because it was said that Wuye loved to listen to operas.
Du Chen and his family strolled around for more than two hours and had some bread and sausages for lunch.
"Son, how was your fun? Let's move on."
Around two o'clock, Du Chen's mother asked her two sons.
"Brother, what about you?"
Du Chen was already satisfied after the tour, so he asked Du Bin if he wanted to continue shopping.
"Let's go. Mount Wutai is too big. Let's come back next time when we have time. It's boring to visit it all at once."
After discussing, the family decided not to rest and got in the car and headed straight for Longcheng.
"Old Du, where should we go first when we get to Dragon City?"
"I estimate it will be around eight or nine when we get there. Let's find a place to stay and then go eat."
In the car, Du Chen's mother asked Lao Du.
"Dad, have you ever been to Dragon City?"
At this time, Du Chen asked curiously.
Comrade Lao Du traveled a lot across the country when he was in the army. It can be said that there is always a city in the east, west and south that Comrade Lao Du has visited.
When Du Chen was a child, his favorite thing to do was to look at his father's old photos. In the photos, Comrade Du was full of vigor and vitality.
"I've been to Longcheng twice, but both times were for business trips, so I never went shopping."
"You've been to a lot of places, haven't you?"
Du Chen's mother suddenly felt a little jealous.
"Oh, you know, I was often on business trips when I was in the army. You said I've been to so many places, but I haven't really been around."
"Don't worry, our family is well off now. From now on, every summer vacation, we can go on a family trip by car, okay?"
Comrade Lao Du quickly comforted her. He also knew that his wife was just talking, and that Du Chen's mother had indeed suffered over the years.
"Go to hell, it's like our family is so rich that we even go out to play every summer vacation. How much does that cost?"
Du Chen's mother complained, but the corners of her mouth that turned up showed her happiness.
"Dad, we agreed that we'll go on a trip every summer vacation."
At this time, Du Chen suddenly interrupted.
"Of course it's no problem! But the prerequisite is that you and your brother have to pass the test, otherwise don't even think about it."
"When the time comes, I'll throw you to your grandma's place, and you can just play in the village. Your mom and I will go out for a trip!"
Comrade Lao Du feels that he is getting younger and younger, full of energy, and his life is becoming more and more hopeful, so he hopes that his two sons will become more and more outstanding!
"Brother, did you hear me? If your grades don't pass, we both have to go back to the village and let Mom and Dad go out and play! In order for us to be able to be a burden in the future, you must study hard!"
Du Chen also knew that his father was joking, so he also started teasing his brother Du Bin.
"What? Dad said it's for both of us to study, not just me!"
Du Bin began to argue.
"Brother, do you think my grades will disappoint my parents?"
Du Chen smiled evilly and provoked Du Bin again.
"Hmph, Chenchen, don't be so complacent. If I don't do well on the test, it won't matter how well you do. You can do whatever you want."
Du Bin was not someone to be trifled with now, and he suppressed Du Chen with a casual remark.
"Haha, your dad is right. You can go out and play if you want in the future, but if one of you fails to meet the academic standards, you two will have to go back to your grandma's house in the village together. No one of you can go out."
Du Chen's mother was sitting in the passenger seat and laughing. It was rare for the family to be so relaxed and bickering. They were usually too busy and had to discuss things during meals, so they had no time to chat.
In this era, the road conditions across the country were not very good, and the 212 itself could not run very fast, so after driving from early morning to night, Du Chen and his family finally entered the territory of Longcheng.
"Ah, it's finally here!"
Du Chen leaned back on the seat and stretched hard. His waist was almost broken during the past ten hours. Fortunately, Comrade Lao Du had changed the seat, otherwise he would have suffered even more on the way.
Du Bin, on the other hand, didn't feel much. He was as excited as a shot of chicken blood the entire way. On the afternoon ride, Du Chen and his mother dazed for a moment, while Du Bin stared out the window with a radiant gaze. He didn't know what was attracting him.
Du Chen also looked out of the car window at this time. The provincial capital, Longcheng, was obviously much more developed than Yuncheng. There were obviously more cars on the streets and more street lights.
It's already past nine o'clock in the evening, and there are still many pedestrians on the road, and many shops on both sides of the road are still open.
"Mom and Dad, Chenchen, look, that building is so tall!"
Du Bin pointed at a tall building in surprise and said to several people.
Du Chen looked over and saw that it was only a twenty or thirty-story building, which seemed ordinary to him, but it had a special impact on Du Bin. The best building he had ever seen was only seven or eight stories high.
"Wife, son, are you hungry? Let's eat first. I'm afraid all the restaurants will be closed later."
"Come on, Dad, let's go eat first! I'm already hungry!"
Du Chen immediately became energetic when he heard about eating. For him, it was the same as not eating bread at noon. From childhood to adulthood, he was not used to eating bread and always felt that it was not filling.
"Okay! Let's eat first!"
