Dependent Origination and Destiny - The History of the Present

Gao Miaomiao limped back to Yuanqi Yuanmi with a box of scented tea in her arms.As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Chen, the waiter standing at the door to greet the guests, hurried over to take the cardboard box in her hand.

She said, "Sister Miaomiao, what's the matter with you?"

Gao Miaomiao smiled while enduring the pain, and she said, "It's okay, I accidentally sprained my ankle just now."

Looking at her frowning, Xiao Chen knew that the situation was probably not as simple as she said, but Gao Miaomiao didn't say anything, and it was hard for her to ask, so he held the cardboard box with one hand and supported her with the other. She helped her into the living room.

Gao Miaomiao said, "Thank you, Xiao Chen."

Xiao Chen smiled and said: "What are you talking about, sister! You should check your feet quickly, and if not, go to the hospital. I think you are in pain."

Gao Miaomiao said: "Well, I see." She stopped saying thank you, because she knew the temperament of the Northeast girl in front of her, and if she said too much thank you, it would seem polite to her.

Xiao Chen went out.Gao Miaomiao pulled the chair and sat down, her ankle hurt like a needle prick, she didn't need to take off her shoes to check, she could imagine that her ankle would not look good now.

She slowly lifted her feet up, and just as her hands touched the shoes, there was another burst of pain on her feet. She couldn't help frowning, and then gritted her teeth and took off the shoes and socks—her ankles It was indeed red and swollen.

Shi Jin's voice came from the door, he said, "What happened to your feet?"

Gao Miaomiao turned her head to look at him, with an involuntary look of embarrassment on her face.Putting down her feet, she was about to speak, but Shi Jin turned around and left immediately.

Gao Miaomiao suddenly felt a little wronged.

A few minutes later Shi Jin came back, he walked to Gao Miaomiao's side, carefully looked at the damage on her feet, then took out something from his pocket and handed it to her.

It was a newly purchased bottle of safflower oil.

Shi Jin said: "Use this to rub it, it will disperse the congestion and it will be fine."

Gao Miaomiao took the safflower oil, smiled and said thank you to Shi Jin, but the next second tears welled up in her eyes.

Shi Jin panicked, he didn't know why Gao Miaomiao cried suddenly.He asked anxiously: "What's the matter? Miaomiao, what's the matter with you? Does it hurt?"

Gao Miaomiao took a deep breath and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.She said, "I'm sorry, Shi Jin, I'm fine."

Shi Jin handed a tissue to Gao Miaomiao, and he asked, "How did you fix your foot? Why did it sprain like this when it was fine?"

"I met a thief, and the things were not stolen, but I was pushed by him, so I sprained my ankle." Gao Miaomiao said lightly.As she spoke, she poured some safflower oil into the palm of her hand, then rubbed it with both hands, pressed it to her ankle and rubbed it vigorously.

There was a strong smell of safflower oil in the air.

Gao Miaomiao gritted her teeth, such rubbing made her nerves bear strong pain, but she didn't want to cry out, especially in front of Shi Jin, so she chose to grit her teeth and hold on.

Shi Jin said: "Miaomiao, if you feel pain, just make a noise, don't hold back." Gao Miaomiao was very skillful in kneading the medicated oil, but the way she frowned and gritted her teeth as she rubbed the medicated oil on her feet caught him off guard. It's somewhat uncomfortable to watch.

Gao Miaomiao raised her head and looked at him with a smile, she jokingly said: "Don't, I'm afraid if I call someone, they will think you are here to beat me!"

Gao Jing stood outside the door of the lounge, listening to the conversation between the two inside, he smiled, then turned and left.He originally wanted to see his daughter's foot injury, but now he knew that he didn't need to worry about things.

The effect of safflower oil is still very significant. After rubbing the medicated oil, Gao Miaomiao's feet improved a lot the next day.It doesn't hurt so much to walk.

Gao Miaomiao stood in the tea room, carefully brewing a pot of mixed scented tea, and the box of scented tea she bought yesterday was placed on the shelf at her feet.

Gao Miaomiao poured the brewed tea into the cup, then picked it up and took a sip.

She frowned. The scented tea didn't taste as good as expected, but it wasn't a problem with scented tea and water—this was something she had never experienced in her tea making career, so she was a little depressed.

The waiter Xiao Chen came over with a tea order and saw her pouring out the freshly brewed scented tea, so he asked, "Sister Miaomiao, why did you pour out the tea?"

Gao Miaomiao said, "The bubble is broken."

Xiao Chen poked his head into the sink with some distress, and the scent of scented tea was still lingering there.Xiao Chen shook her head regretfully, and said: "Sister Miaomiao, you are too demanding! I just smell the fragrance of the scented tea and I know it is good tea. Your so-called spoiled tea is sold to other people. It seems that they are all well-brewed tea."

Gao Miaomiao smiled, then took the order in Xiao Chen's hand and made tea according to the order.She knew that there was no problem with her technique, and that the taste of the tea she brewed was not right because there was a threshold in her heart, and she couldn't get past this threshold.

At noon, she called Bai Ruo, she wanted to find someone to talk to about her troubles.

The call was made to Bai Ruo's dormitory, and her classmates answered it first.After a loud call, Bai Ruo's voice came from the other side of the phone after a while.

"Hello, sister." Bai Ruo answered the phone, she said, "What's the matter, you called me suddenly, what's the matter?"

Gao Miaomiao said, "Can't I call you if it's okay?"

"Yes, of course I can." Bai Ruo said with a smile, "But you must have something to do today, I heard it from your voice...is it brother Jin'er?"

Gao Miaomiao sighed, and she said, "Yes." She gave Bai Ruo a general idea of ​​opening a teahouse at the foot of Hutou Mountain, and Shi Jin's attitude.

Bai Ruo pondered for a few seconds, and then she said: "Sister, you should have expected brother's reaction today. He came from the army, and those who really come from that place will stick to their principles ,Is not it?"

Gao Miaomiao said: "I know. But when he said that, I still felt very uncomfortable. He has his principles, and I also have mine."

Bai Ruo said with a smile: "Of course, otherwise you wouldn't be Gao Miaomiao. In fact, it's not just you, like me, Xiaoyi and Xiaoxiao, each of us has our own principles. But sister Miaomiao, please let me know what you are doing. Let me ask you a question: Are you really angry with brother Jiner this time because he violated your principles?"

"I..." This question made Gao Miaomiao momentarily at a loss for words, she faltered and couldn't answer.

Bai Ruo said: "Sister, you don't have to answer me, you actually asked yourself this question, you just have to answer it for yourself." After a pause, she said again: "Sister Miao Miao, you like someone There is nothing wrong with it, but it does cause some troubles. This is normal, so you don't have to mind too much."

Gao Miaomiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, she said, "No, no."

Bai Ruo ignored her denial, but suddenly changed the subject and said, "Sister, are you satisfied with the tea you made recently?"

Gao Miaomiao shook her head, she said, "You know again?"

Bai Ruo said: "Making tea is about the state of mind. Only when the mind is as calm as water can the charm of tea be brewed. Your state of mind must be unstable now, and you are a person who has such high requirements for tea, so it can be imagined."

Gao Miaomiao smiled wryly, she had never been able to hide her thoughts from Bai Ruo.

Bai Ruo said: "Sister, don't worry, just calm down and be yourself."

Gao Miaomiao said: "I have always insisted on being myself, but sometimes the change is unconscious, and it is beyond my control."

Bai Ruo said: "That's for sure. The world is in motion, and nothing can stay the same forever. Changes will definitely happen, but you can't be too deliberate, otherwise it will appear hypocritical." Then she suddenly said with a smirk: "Sister, actually, I think you can consider the little suggestion, I have no objection!"

Gao Miaomiao felt her face heat up immediately, she said: "Little brat is talking nonsense to you again?"

Bai Ruo said: "Sister, you really are worrying about this matter. In fact, you don't need to worry, just let everything take its course. What's yours is yours after all, and no one can take it away."

Gao Miaomiao sighed, and she said: "It's true to say that, in fact, I know all these truths, and I could have said them before, but now when the situation is critical, I realize that I can't do this kind of freedom at all. .”

Bai Ruo said: "That's why it is said that the authorities are obsessed, and the bystanders are clear. Sister, you are now the authority, and it is normal to be obsessed. If you can regard yourself as a bystander, maybe you will see different results."

Gao Miaomiao was silent for a few seconds, and then she said: "Ruoruo, but I think...he probably doesn't have any feelings for me at all. Maybe I'm just pretending to be sentimental all this time..."

Bai Ruo was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that her cousin would say such depressing words one day - as expected, feelings are really a grinding thing.She couldn't help but shook her head and said, "Sister, do you still remember the ancient text we recited when we were young: 'Zi Feiyu, how do you know the joy of fish?'—Brother Zi Feijin, how can you know?" Brother today, do you really have no feeling at all? The most important thing is your own heart, let go of everything and think about it, just don’t get into the horns.” She paused, and then said: “I think I’m actually There is no need to persuade you, what kind of person are you, Gao Miaomiao, you have your philosophy of tea ceremony, you can see clearly, so I am not worried about you."

Gao Miaomiao finally showed a smile, and then they chatted for a while about Gao Miaomiao going to open a teahouse in Hutou Mountain, and they didn't close the line until Bai Ruo was going to class.

Putting down the phone, Gao Miaomiao's mood was better than before, and her heart seemed to suddenly become much brighter.

Even if the final result is not what you want, at least you can take a step back.she thinks.

In the following days, Gao Miaomiao deliberately put her mind on the preparations for opening a branch.

She went to Hutou Mountain a few more times, and after seeing many places, Gao Miaomiao finally chose a two-story house not far from the mountain pass.

After signing the lease agreement with the local town government, Gao Miaomiao recruited an engineering team to start the decoration of the teahouse.
