Fengtian past events

Liu Guoqing recovered from his illness, but my old illness relapsed. My lungs were like a hardworking bellows, making noise with wheezing and wheezing.At night, he coughed non-stop. He could only drink medicine to moisten it, but it didn't get better.

So on the fifth day of the lunar new year, Liu Guoqing and I planned to go to incense.We have always offered incense in the Taiqing Palace, but this time we made up our minds and abducted to the Ci'en Temple.

There are only a few pilgrims in Ci'en Temple, and there are also rich families who come to perform rituals and pray for blessings.The old host chose to retreat at this time, and Liu Guoqing couldn't see him, so he had to touch it by fate, but all the monks caught his eye, so how could there be a little bald head?

After wasting half a day, seeing the bell ringing for lunch, pilgrims can keep their meals and share a vegetarian meal with the masters.During Chinese New Year, we don't have to worry about it. If we don't have enough good things, who would go vegetarian?I had no choice but to walk around the Ci'en Temple again in melancholy, and then gave up and left the temple gate.

Liu Guoqing reassured: "Most of the monks I saw along the way were doing rough work. Since there is no Anxi among them, I think he is doing well."

I said: "How old is he, and he is not as tall as a broom when he stands up. He will be older in about two years, and he will be able to see it."

Liu Guoqing said: "I don't know what dharma name the presiding master gave him. I'm afraid that after a few years, his face will grow, and we don't know the dharma name, so we will accidentally miss it."

I stopped and saw a wonton stand not far away, so I dragged Liu Guoqing over to sit down, and each ordered a bowl of wontons and a braised egg.Since I found out that he has stomach problems, I remember more clearly than him the amount of three meals a day, so I can control it well, and I haven't had any recurrence in the past few days.Liu Guoqing said that he didn't really care about it at first, and didn't want the pain to be fatal, so he obediently listened to Zhang Luo, and he could eat whatever I said, and eat whatever I said.

The wontons are smooth, and the stomach is comfortable after eating. The stall owner is a clean and tidy little woman with quick hands and feet. As soon as we sat down, the food was ready.I enjoyed it quite a bit, took the spoon, ate and said, "Speaking of which, Anxi was adopted by Zou Shengzu after all, we can only be regarded as uncles. Zou Shengzu planned to go to the United States before, and asked me about Anxi, although there is no He said it clearly, but the meaning behind the words was that he wanted to take Anxi with him."

Liu Guoqing's chewing speed slowed down, like chewing wax, and asked after a while: "Then is he still planning to leave now?"

I also didn't know how to eat, so I gripped the handle of the spoon tightly and said solemnly: "He must go."

America, that's not necessarily a good place, but it's the best place to start from scratch.

Liu Guoqing said: "Didn't you ask Boss Zou out for tea, I'll go with you."

Before the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, restaurants and tea shops are closed, just to get a "fat" prize, and the shopkeeper will accordingly introduce a series of limited-time discounts to attract customers. There are juggling tricks on the street, which children like most; Playing crazy on the ice, playing snowball fights, setting off firecrackers, smoking ice, and skating, are happier than eating dumplings on New Year's Eve.

Among them, Xiaoheyan is the most lively.We made an appointment at the Ningxiang Society along the Xiaohe River, and made up our minds to have a good time.After all, this year has been too difficult.

The elegant seat on the second floor is facing the window, and downstairs is a hawker selling candied haws, surrounded by a fire-breathing man on the third floor and the third floor outside. I don't know if the candied haws are about to fall.I looked at Zhile, called Liu Guoqing to watch it together, and said, "Yicheng was like this when he was a child, why do you think children are so single-minded?"

Liu Guoqing sipped his tea slowly and replied: "When I was young, I realized that I had no distractions. When I grew up, things were complicated, but I lost the energy of the past. I remember when we were young, we walked under the flyover in Beiping, and we didn't know it for a day. Yes, but it feels like a day is so long, and now it’s a year in the blink of an eye, I feel that time flies too fast, after all, it’s because I’m in a different mood.”

I smiled and said, "That's not it. Thinking about it, I'm going to be forty! It's not scary."

While chatting, Zou Shengzu lifted the curtain, bringing in a cold air, I couldn't help coughing: "It's so cold outside! Come in and drink some hot tea to keep you warm."

Liu Guoqing stuffed his hand stove over and stared at me putting on the hand mask again before giving up.Zou Shengzu frowned and said, "I remember that your lungs have gotten better in the past two years, why are you getting heavier this year?"

I said: "This thing can't be rooted out, it's very annoying, and any doctor said it can't be frozen, it's better to go to a place where summer is all year round. Hey, I like winter, it's white, and it makes me happy when I look at it. , I feel so happy, I don’t care if I cough or not.”

"You're full of nonsense!" Zou Shengzu cursed, but stopped mentioning it, and said instead, "I heard that your wife's injury is not something to worry about. You have to be at ease. Brother and sister are blessed Yes, new year and new weather, maybe you will wake up as soon as spring begins."

"I hope so," I didn't want to say more, then sipped tea to cover up, and then said, "Hey, aren't you going to America, when are you leaving?"

Zou Shengzu refilled himself some tea, and said, "It's spring too."

"Just you?"

"Of course not," Zou Shengzu said, "I still want to tell you, I have to take my son away."

I fell silent, Liu Guoqing saw that I didn't intend to continue, so he answered: "He is in the Temple of Mercy now, before you leave, remember to set aside some time for him to return to vulgarity."

Zou Shengzu said: "Understood." He laughed again, "The two of you have to accompany me when the time comes, that kid will definitely not remember me as a father, you two have to testify to me."

Liu Guoqing rarely smiled at Zou Shengzu.Holding my teacup, I took a breath and said, "I also inquired about it a while ago. It's not easy to get a boat ticket to the United States. What's your itinerary? Did you board the boat from Dalian? Or Anton?"

Zou Shengzu said: "Anton does not take the international route, but Dalian does. But the ferry ticket is hard to find, and there is no way to get it. Mine is from Hong Kong, via Shanghai. Now that Manchukuo has perished, we are Chinese people don’t need a customs clearance permit to go to Hong Kong or the United States, which is very convenient. Don’t worry, I will take good care of Anxi.”

I sighed and said, "I'm embarrassed to say this, but I still have to say, you... don't take Anxi with you, you can take my sister and her daughter."

Zou Shengzu was taken aback for a moment, and Liu Guoqing even lost his voice: "What are you talking about!"

I gathered myself together and looked at them in turn: "Anxi is in the Ci'en Temple. It's not difficult to eat a full meal. The monks are living behind closed doors, and now the Japanese are gone. We are in charge of our own, let alone I'm afraid there will be disasters. On the contrary, it's my younger sister, a widow with a child. It's so inconvenient. She doesn't want to remarry. I made up my mind and sent her to her in-laws. Coming here is like honoring the two old people, and coming three times...she can have a caregiver and a home..."

Liu Guoqing said: "If she stays here, you and I can take care of her. It's not worth throwing her out."

I looked at him with a half-smile and said, "I'm afraid that one day, neither of us will care about her."

Liu Guoqing was sulking, and gulped down his drink.My heart was constricted into a ball—the palms and backs of my hands were full of flesh, and I would bleed if I gave up which one.But knowing it is cruel, a choice must be made.

Zou Shengzu said: "But I only have two tickets in my hand, so it's a bit difficult for the three of us."

I said, "My niece is only five years old, so she's not considered a person. Children don't need a ticket on the tram, do they? At worst, they don't need luggage. Just hug her."

Zou Shengzu said: "It's still not appropriate. When it's time to board the ship, it's too late to get on the sedan chair and prick your ears and eyes."

"Then think of a way, how to fix it?"

Zou Shengzu pondered: "There is a way, but it is a bit roundabout. It is from Shenyang to Shanghai, then from Shanghai to Xiamen, to Taiwan by boat, and then to the United States from Taiwan. The time is almost twice as slow as going directly from Hong Kong. , but it’s easy to get tickets.”

Liu Guoqing interjected, "If you want to get tickets, you can get four and bring Anxi with you!"

Zou Shengzu sighed and said, "I'm talking easy, I mean ticket exchange. Compared with the Hong Kong route, there are quite a few people going directly to Taiwan from Xiamen."

I wondered: "Nowadays in the Taiping era, Taiwan has also returned to China. Isn't it the same in Xiamen and in Taiwan? Why are there still tight air routes?"

Zou Shengzu said: "Most of them are the inland Japanese stranded in the mainland. Japan withdrew its troops. You also know that it adopted a policy of abandoning citizens and left behind a group of old, young, women and children. Those who are unwilling to give up will go from Xiamen to Taiwan, and then from Taiwan to Japan. ——there are no ships going to Japan inland.”

I made a decision and said, "Let's do it like this. Brother, your kindness will be remembered forever."

Zou Shengzu said: "You don't need to remember your kindness, just remember me."

I laughed, raised my teacup, replaced the wine with tea, and drank it down in one gulp.
