wrong love

Early the next morning, Gu Chengxi was woken up by Jiang Xueqing's phone call, and Shen Qingcheng had already gone out for a run again.

Gu Chenglin and Jiang Xueqing didn't have to work overtime today, so they wanted to come and take Gu Chengxi home for the holidays.Jiang Xueqing said on the phone, "Ask Aunt Lin what she means. If the three of them are free, we can have a meal together. Thank you for taking care of you these two days."

Gu Chengxi didn't expect to go home so early, and felt a little reluctant.But originally she came to Shen's house for the holidays because she had no one to take care of her at home. Now that her parents had time, there was no reason for her to stay.

Lin Tan and Shen Qingcheng estimated that they might not be in the mood to get together now, let alone a family of three.But this is her privacy, she doesn't want to tell Gu Chenglin and Jiang Xueqing.So she agreed to Jiang Xueqing on the phone, got up, washed, dressed, and went to the living room to ask. Sure enough, Lin Tan very gently refused.

"I still have something to do today, so I won't go. Next time, you can come as a guest with your family."

Gu Chengxi called to pass on the message.

Since the meeting failed, Gu Chenglin and Jiang Xueqing changed their minds and decided to go to Qingyun Mountain on the outskirts of the city as a family of three.Qingyun Mountain is far away, so the two came here not long after hanging up the phone, and it was natural for the two families to exchange pleasantries when they met.Because they had to go out to play, Gu Chenglin and Jiang Xueqing got up to leave after chatting for a few words, Lin Tan didn't stay any longer and sent them to the gate of the villa.

After saying goodbye to Gu Chenglin and Jiang Xueqing, Lin Tan seemed reluctant to part with Gu Chengxi, and walked up to her, "I wanted you to stay with Chengcheng for two more days...Then Auntie welcomes you to come here often, okay?"

Gu Chengxi has been looking forward to Shen Qingcheng's return so that he can say goodbye to her face to face.It's a pity that I didn't see that familiar figure until I went out, and I was a little absent-minded.

"Okay." After thinking for a while, she added a redundant sentence, "Then... Aunt Lin, can you tell Chengcheng for me, I'm leaving first."

Lin Tan agreed to her, and watched the Gu family get into the car and drove out of the community.

The car drove towards Qingyun Mountain.

……

When the car left the urban area, it picked up speed.

In the winter in the south, there are still many flowers, plants and trees that are still green. When you leave the urban area, they will form a large area, and a large area will pass quickly outside the car window.

Gu Chengxi was a little lost in thought, as soon as she left Shen's house, she missed Shen Qingcheng a little bit.My thoughts scattered, and I naturally thought of last night.

Before that, she hadn't really thought about the future seriously.She always feels that the future will come one day, naturally and step by step. She also has some expectations, but they are not particularly longing. She just waits for life to unfold slowly with a relatively passive attitude.

Yesterday, Shen Qingcheng's positive attitude had a great impact on her and made her very ashamed.Everyone is obviously the same age, but Shen Qingcheng seems to have matured, and she seems to be just a playful child.For the first time in her life, she began to think, is everything that came step by step really what she wanted?If not, should she do something to control her own future?She suddenly felt that she should not be as Buddhist as before.

Jiang Xueqing, who was sitting in the co-pilot, noticed her silence and asked, "Xixi, how have you been these two days? Is the wound recovering well?"

"Well, it's all good." She paused, trying to look as plain as possible, "Mom, I want to sign up for an online training class."

She thought about it, the price of offline training courses is not cheap, and the price of online training is cheaper, and the courses can be watched repeatedly, which is more cost-effective.

Jiang Xueqing and Gu Chenglin looked at each other, and there was a trace of surprise in their eyes. Is this the sun coming out from the west?

It's not that they haven't signed up for Gu Chengxi's training class before.When she was in junior high school, in order to prepare for the senior high school entrance examination, the couple carefully selected a well-known training institution for her. In order to achieve better results, they also specially chose expensive one-on-one tutoring.But Gu Chengxi didn't want to go, and in the end, he was willing to go to the big class because he had a learning atmosphere.

Knowing a daughter is like a mother, she still can't know her daughter's little thoughts.Isn't it because the big class is so easy to fish and read novels?Can many people speak in class?It's really maddening!After a while, the effect was not obvious, so I stopped.Fortunately, she was quite up-to-date, and finally got into the middle school attached to Normal University.

Now that Gu Chengxi took the initiative to ask for tutoring, Gu Chenglin and Jiang Xueqing made the same guess in their hearts: Shen Qingcheng must have brought her a good influence. It seems that it is right to let these two children get in touch with each other more. The child is about to wake up.

"Okay!" Jiang Xueqing couldn't help but agree.

……

Qingyun Mountain is located in the northeast suburb of Lincheng. The absolute height of the mountain is not high, but it is the highest peak in this area.It is a small local attraction.

There is a Qingyun Temple on the mountainside, and the temple is named after the mountain.In the early years, the incense was bleak, but in recent years it has been renovated and flourished day by day.The three of them walked all the way, and after a while, they came to Qingyun Temple.

Jiang Xueqing's parents died young, and the cemetery is far away in her hometown, so it is difficult to pay homage to her every year.Therefore, whenever people don’t have to go to work during the holidays, they like to go to the temple, offer a stick of incense, pay respects to their parents, and pray for the safety of their little family.But today she has a more specific purpose for coming here.Last year, when Gu Chengxi took the high school entrance examination, Jiang Xueqing, who believed in gods and Buddhas, came here and made a wish, hoping that the Bodhisattva would bless Gu Chengxi to successfully enter the middle school attached to the Normal University.

Today is the second day of the New Year's Day holiday, and there are many people in the temple.In order to prevent fire, open flames are not allowed in the hall. Visitors burn incense sticks in the courtyard, and after worshiping all directions, put all the incense in the iron incense burner in the courtyard, and then go to the hall to worship.Because there were too many people, there was even a long line of people waiting outside the temple to enter and worship.

Gu Chengxi has never been interested in burning incense and worshiping Buddha, and he rarely comes along with him.Entering the temple gate today, following behind Jiang Xueqing and Gu Chenglin, looking around, bored.

Jiang Xueqing felt that her attitude was not respectful enough, so she scolded in a low voice, "I will fulfill your wish, please be more respectful, thank you Bodhisattva."

"Mom," Gu Chengxi muttered dissatisfiedly, "I took the exam myself, and it wasn't Bodhisattva who helped me take the exam. Why should I thank her?"

"You child, how do you talk?" Jiang Xueqing was a little unhappy.

"Why? Don't let people tell the truth. Where is the Bodhisattva during the exam?" Gu Chengxi counterattacked, not to be outdone.Suddenly felt a tap on the shoulder.

Gu Chenglin scolded her, "Why are you talking to your mother?"

Gu Chengxi was not convinced, and pointed to the long queue in front, "I'm not wrong, she always believes in these feudal superstitions. If burning incense is useful, isn't everyone rich?"

The Gu family's style is fairly democratic. Although Jiang Xueqing likes to chatter, the family doesn't talk about it.Gu Chenglin even consciously encouraged his daughter to express her opinions more, so Gu Chengxi had already developed the habit of expressing and debating, otherwise he would not be able to shine in the debate competition.

Gu Chenglin was always gentle, "Xixi, do you know what it means to pray to Buddha?"

"What's the point? I want to get something for nothing. I don't want to do anything, and I don't want to pay. Come to the Bodhisattva and go through the back door to ask for benefits." Gu Chengxi said in a disdainful tone.

She really doesn't like this look, she all come here to get rich and get well.If it works, will there still be poor people in this world?Just by kneeling and praying for benefits, how can there be such a good deal in the world?

"Then your opinion is too superficial." Gu Chenglin disagreed with her opinion.

Gu Chengxi was puzzled, and looked up at Gu Chenglin.

Although Gu Chenglin's academic qualifications are not outstanding, he loved reading since he was a child, and he loves to use his brain in everything, and has his own ideas on everything.Hearing her daughter's words, she patiently said: "We do not worship Bodhisattvas to get something for nothing, and it is impossible for so many things to get something for nothing in this world."

"In life, when we encounter difficulties and confusion, we often find it difficult to make a choice, or unable to deal with it. In this way, we can face our heart, think clearly about what is really important, and what we really want is What. This way you will know what to insist on and what not to do.”

"In addition, there are some desires that we cannot control no matter how hard we try. In this way, we can also express them and get sustenance. Then let them go and focus on things that we can control."

"So, worshiping Buddha is worshiping ourselves. This is just a way for us to communicate with ourselves."

Is it like this?

Gu Chengxi seemed to understand, but fell into deep thought.Seeing her like this, Gu Chenglin didn't bother her.

Gu Chenglin knows Gu Chengxi too well.She is enthusiastic, cheerful, and able to endure hardships, but she has a stubborn temper.From childhood to adulthood, no matter what happens, if it doesn't make sense, it's useless to use her status, seniority or other things to suppress her.What you believe in, you will insist on going forward, and you can't stop it.

Jiang Xueqing doesn't know how much she loves this child, but her way of speaking is rather assertive, and she loves to worry, and she often unconsciously wants to do things for her, or impose her own ideas on Gu Chengxi.For this, the two clashed a lot.So he is used to it, and when he sees such signs, he will take the initiative to smooth things over.

Fortunately, this child Gu Chengxi is not just messing around blindly, as long as she talks to her with an equal attitude, she is still very reasonable.Gu Chenglin is not as convinced as Jiang Xueqing about praying to God and Buddha, but he does not object to it either.He hopes that his daughter can also see this matter more clearly.

The team of worshiping Buddha moved forward slowly, and finally it was the turn of the three members of the Gu family.

Gu Chengxi followed Jiang Xueqing to the futon, hesitated for a moment, remembered what Gu Chenglin said, "Worshiping Buddha is worshiping oneself", and knelt down respectfully on the futon.

Gu Chenglin's words hit the right point, right on her mind.She does have some desires that cannot be controlled no matter how hard she tries, and she needs a sustenance.

She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, lowered her head, and solemnly made a silent wish in her heart.

"May Chengcheng be able to realize his ideal smoothly..."

"I hope Aunt Lin can solve the divorce problem properly..."

After making two wishes, she was a little bit unsatisfied.

Since the old saying goes that "there are only three things", let's make another one.

"May Chengcheng not be affected by the divorce of his parents, be safe and happy..."
