90s master of metaphysics

"Brother, move your hand a little further to the left, not there, pass it! Move it a little more to the right, yes, it's there!" I stood in the middle of the door and directed Yu Tao to stick the Spring Festival couplets.

After putting up the couplet banner, Yu Tao jumped off the shelf, patted the ashes on his hands and asked, "Is there anything else to post?"

"It's gone, it's all pasted up. But the firecrackers used to send off the old and welcome the new at night should be hung higher." Yu Jianjun said as he unwrapped a roll of red firecrackers, and tied one side of the firecrackers to a long bamboo pole.

"I'll go, I'll move quickly." I volunteered, climbed to the shelf where Yu Tao had just posted the couplets, and jumped up to the roof with all my strength.

After I climbed up to the roof, I took over the bamboo pole that Yu Jianjun had tied up the firecrackers, and pressed the other end over the roof with a heavy object from below. The red firecrackers hung straight down in front of the house, and then I He jumped directly from the roof and posed handsomely by the way.Thinking with a smile, I don't know how Su Tong will praise me when he sees me like this.

Today is New Year's Eve, and couplets are pasted on the gates of every household. The involuntary laughter of children playing makes people instantly feel that the New Year has arrived.

Even the adults were beaming with the atmosphere, their voices raised two degrees when talking to people, as if they were full of confidence.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud roar from the kitchen: "If your grandfather's work is done, come over to the kitchen to help, Deng Ying and I are almost overwhelmed."

"Come, come." Yu Jianjun responded.

When I entered the kitchen, I saw Yang Hongmei was frying crispy meat in front of the big iron pan. Pieces of crispy meat were tossed in vegetable oil until the surface slowly turned yellow.

"Why are you all watching there? Jianjun and Yu Tao went to kill these chickens, ducks, rabbits and fish, and Yu Ze went to take away Youming who is next to your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law is not good at doing things anymore. Don't knock him if you are in a hurry in the kitchen." As soon as he entered the door, he heard Yang Hongmei say this series of words.

I stepped forward and took Youming's hand away from Deng Ying's pants, picked up the self-made baby walker and placed it with the baby in the yard. Yu Youming has been ten months old, as the saying goes: turn over three times and sit six times , rolling and crawling, and Youming, who has been learning to crawl for two months, should also learn to walk, so he asked his father to make him a stroller.

Then I leisurely supported the stroller and watched Yu Jianjun and the others bring poultry, bowls and buckets filled with hot water to the yard.One person grabbed the chicken to expose its neck, and the other reached out and plucked the ball of hair from the chicken's neck, and then cut the throat with a knife. Blood immediately flowed from the chicken's neck and dripped onto the bowl on the ground. inside.

"Chu~ah" Hearing this voice, I immediately reacted and covered Youming's eyes with my hands, then picked him up and turned his back to Yu Jianjun and the others.

I held him up in front of me and asked him to look at me and said, "It's not crispy, it's uncle ~ come and learn from me. Uncle ~"

"Crisp~"

"Chu, no, Uncle~" I repeated again, almost confused by him.

With a slap, Youming's small palm hit my face, and he said excitedly: "Crisp, crisp~"

"Okay, you're right." Feeling the claws on my face, I gave in helplessly.

Not far away, Yu Tao heard our conversation and laughed so hard that he couldn't hold his knife steady.

"Yu Tao, be careful!" Yu Jianjun scolded with a smile.

……

crackling-

I woke up to the sound of firecrackers in the morning. Last night, I watched the New Year’s Eve until 58:[-]. After the firecrackers were set off, the family went back to sleep. I woke up helplessly listening to the sound of firecrackers in the whole village.

When I opened the door, I saw that there were children coming in to pay New Year's greetings in the yard. Yang Hongmei smiled from ear to ear and distributed candy melon seeds to the children.After saying the blessings one by one and getting the lucky money, a group of children dragged each other to the next house.

"Are you awake? Let's go to the village to pay New Year's greetings after dinner." Yang Hongmei said after seeing the children leave.

I said with some embarrassment: "No, I won't be with those children when I'm so old. Where are they, Dad? I'll go with them."

"Your father is at your third father's place."

I was eating breakfast, watching Yang Hongmei tidy up the table that was messed up just now, and suddenly asked: "Mom, you have to suffer from all kinds of illnesses on the first day of junior high school, right?"

"Well, what's the matter?" Yang Hongmei said without raising her head.

I smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'll call Su Tong out to play together later."

……

I was standing near Su Tong's house, and I saw Su Qiao go out and beckon him over.

Seeing him walking in, I said, "Su Qiao, call Su Tong out for me."

Su Qiao touched her head, raised her head and asked slowly, "What did you call me?"

"Brother Su!"

Su Qiao smiled with satisfaction and said, "You wait, I'll go back and call him."

Within 2 minutes, I saw Su Tong, who was wrapped like a ball, trot over and hug me: "Brother, it's only the first day of junior high school today, why are you here?"

I leaned against his forehead and said, "Don't worry, I didn't come in. We can go out to play because of all kinds of illnesses in the first day of junior high school. Why are you wearing such thick clothes today?"

Su Tong let me go, pulled off the scarf around his neck and said, "It's not your fault. I bought so many things, even hats and gloves. My mother told me to put them on because I was afraid I would be cold. There are also warm clothes inside. Thermal pants, I’m almost dying of heat. Even if I wear less, I feel quite warm, but she always thinks I’ll catch a cold if I wear less.”

I couldn't help laughing, there is a kind of coldness that makes your mother think you are cold.

"You're still laughing! Why can you, the culprit, go out wearing a thin coat?" Su Tong was so angry that he grabbed my arm and twisted it vigorously.

"Hiss~ it hurts, it hurts, Su Tong, please be gentle!" I exaggeratedly shouted, and when Su Tong withdrew his hand in embarrassment, he said: "You take off this coat and hat, and I will hold it for you. Find a place where there is no one and put it in the space later."

After taking off the thick coat, Su Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's go to the temple outside the city."

I suddenly thought of the tourist attractions in the holidays of later generations, and nodded with difficulty.

Sure enough, when we arrived at Kiyomizu Temple, we could see from a distance that the usually deserted temple was now crowded with people.There are several shops selling snacks and joss sticks outside the temple. There is no shortage of smart people anywhere that can make money. The joss sticks and other things on the stall are specially wrapped with two candles for every three incense sticks, and there are even one-meter-long ones. Fragrant, people are willing to spend money to buy this special, and when people are hungry, they can fill their stomachs next to them.

"Brother, there are so many people..." Su Tong said standing outside the crowd.

"Well, are you still going in?"

"Go, of course!" As he said that, Su Tong pulled me to squeeze in, and his usual shyness was gone.

I pulled him behind me, took his hand and squeezed in first.I went to the front of the stall and bought two incense candles, and then squeezed into the temple with the flow of people.Su Tong skipped the Buddha statues along the way, and went straight to the Guanyin statue before inserting the incense candle on the tripod.

Then Su Tong pulled me to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Brother, let's ask for a lottery." Su Tong said excitedly after standing up, and before I could stop him and say that I could count, he was already sitting in front of the monk who had placed a lottery at the door.I suddenly thought of counting others as not myself, so I didn't pull him up again.

The big monk behind the table pushed the stick over and asked, "What does the little benefactor ask for?"

"For marriage, brother, can you go out first?" Su Tong raised his head and asked me.

I pulled another stool and sat in front of the table and said, "No, of course I will listen to you if you want to count the marriage. Quickly draw the lottery."

Su Tong bit his lip in response, and began to shake the stick nervously. With a click, a stick fell out.Su Tong nervously watched the great monk pick up the sign and said: "The clouds open and the sun rises clearly, there is no need to advance or retreat; marriage is destined by the sky, and everything will come true if harmony and cleanliness are made. Did you answer the signature?"

Su Tong immediately smiled and said: "No, I can understand, thank you master!"

Then Su Tong happily put the more than 100 yuan in the bag into the merit box.When I left, I used my spiritual sense to scan the signatures in the lottery container. One-third of the signatures were top-up, and the rest were middle-level, middle-top, and no bottom...

I don’t know if the temple changed it specially for the first day of the new year, but I don’t want to expose it when I see Su Tong so happy. Anyway, we have the same heart for each other, and other external factors don’t matter. , as long as there is a heart, it is man-made.We love each other, and my family doesn't object, so what does all the gossip and rumors outside have to do with me?

I put aside these thoughts, or it is more important now, thinking of this, I asked: "Su Tong, I'll pick you up tomorrow, okay?"

Su Tong shook his head in embarrassment and said, "No, I went back to my mother's house in the second year of junior high school. We will go to grandma's house tomorrow. Can you come back in the third year of junior high school?"

"Ah, I miss you so much." I hugged Su Tong and took a deep breath, smelling that he always smelled slightly sweet. "When will we grow up?"

"It's okay, bro. We're together now too."

Suddenly remembering the Wanchunjue I got two days ago, I took Su Tong out of the temple and went to a place where no one was around.

"Su Tong, now you can try this to see if you can practice it, and I will guard you here." After confirming that there is no one around, I took Wan Chunjue out of the space and gave it to him.

Then I explained to him sentence by sentence, and pointed out bit by bit which acupoints would flow through and which meridians would flow if there was spiritual energy.I have read this Wanchunjue carefully before, and I studied it several times because I was afraid that Su Tong might not understand it.

Seeing Su Tong nodding and saying that he understood, I asked him to meditate on the spot, and I stood by him to guard him, lest someone accidentally break in and use my spiritual sense to keep scanning the surroundings.

It suddenly occurred to me that Su Tong's money had been put into the merit box just now, and I guess he didn't have much savings. At this time, parents generally don't advocate how much money their children have with them. I took out a red envelope and put a thousand in it to seal it. .Then quietly admired Su Tong's serious look with his eyes closed.

It wasn't until the sun began to reveal the colorful light of the setting sun that Su Tong opened his eyes.

With the surprise of discovering the new world on Su Tong's face, he said excitedly: "Brother, I saw it! Some green dots of light, I saw them slowly moving over!"

"Great!" I hugged Su Tong happily, kissed him heavily and said, then took out the red envelope I wrapped when I was guarding him and handed it to Su Tong, saying: "Happy New Year! This is for you New Year's money."

"Happy New Year! Thank you brother!" Su Tong hugged my neck and smiled happily, suddenly noticed the surrounding environment, and said: "It's so late, we have to go home. Brother, please put this book in your space first I don’t have time tomorrow, so I’ll read it when I go to your place the day after tomorrow.”

"Okay, I'll take you back first." I took the book and threw it directly into the dark side of the space.

I took Su Tong's hand and walked quietly on the road in the suburbs. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched our shadows and overlapped each other.Before approaching the crowd, I took out the clothes that Su Tong put in the space when he went out, and put them on for him when he walked to the door.

After Su Tong opened the door, he turned his head and waved to me with a smile, then went into the room and closed the door.I can still hear Wu Shuyun's voice outside.

"Where did you go today, why did you come back so late?"

"I went to a temple in the suburbs to worship Buddha. There were too many people and it was too crowded. I just came back after worshiping one by one."

"Then you haven't eaten yet? Go to the kitchen to get food yourself."

"it is good!"

I smiled and shook my head, Su Tong, this good baby, would lie, and then walked home on the last ray of sunshine.
