My green plums are very sour

The incense in this temple is really prosperous. After we came out of the Daxiong Hall, we found that there were already many people waiting in the square in front of the temple. They were densely packed, but very orderly, and they entered the temple one by one to pay homage.

The air is filled with a strong smell of incense, and when the cold wind blows occasionally, the bitter cold will rush into the lung lobes together with this smell, making it choking.

We followed the flow of people all the way to the next few main halls, and bowed to each other. Although we didn't know which Bodhisattva was enshrined in each place, none of them were left behind.

When passing by a courtyard in the back mountain, A Rui was suddenly very interested, and rushed back from the front against the flow of people, insisting on dragging Ning Ran and me into it.

Uncle Zhou asked curiously, and A Rui said that he was looking for marriage.All the people in the group laughed, but Ning Ran and I looked much weirder than theirs.

"Go, go, all three of you go and have a look, I heard that seeking marriage here is very spiritual, let the Bodhisattva show you the way." Uncle Ning waved his hand, and without waiting for us to say anything, he smiled Push us towards the small courtyard.

Ning Ran and I couldn't evade it, so we had no choice but to follow in, talking about A Rui, "You're not single, what kind of marriage are you looking for! You're only going to make trouble for other Bodhisattvas!"

A Rui turned around and laughed, pointing at us, "Someone wants me, but you haven't found it yet? Let the Bodhisattva show you if any wires haven't been connected. Besides, there is someone You can also ask the Bodhisattva if it is true love."

I shook my head helplessly, thinking that fortunately Qiu Zicheng is not here, otherwise I would be hurt internally by her anger.These two enemies have not stopped for so many years.

Ning Ran also had nothing to do with her, he laughed for a while and let her go.

It's just that Ning Ran and I stopped outside the palace gate, unwilling to go in.

"Just go and ask for yourself, we'll wait for you outside." Ning Ran's tone was very calm, but there was something unpersuadable.

A Rui looked as if her good intentions had been betrayed, she stared at us with her mouth pursed, and ran away as soon as she turned around, pretending not to pretend to the end.

The small courtyard outside the hall is more human than other places, perhaps because of the red silk tree in the center of the courtyard.

Ning Ran walked under the tree and looked up carefully.

"Why don't you go in?"

She paused for a moment when she heard my question, then tilted her head and smiled, "I know what's in my heart, so I won't bother Bodhisattva."

We played charades tacitly, but we didn't tell the truth.

There were quite a few young people who came to the small courtyard to seek marriage. They entered in groups, laughing and laughing, and then came out shyly, crossing their shoulders and whispering, and left from us.

I don't know what A Rui asked for in it, and it took me a long time to come out, and I didn't ask her, with a mysterious look on her face.

The elders were still talking outside the small courtyard, and immediately joked when they saw us: "What did the Bodhisattva tell you?"

This matter was started by A Rui, and she was naturally the one to answer the question, "The Bodhisattva said, the secret of heaven must not be revealed."

One sentence made everyone angry and funny.But it also happens to save us the trouble of being questioned by our parents.

"Okay, let's have some vegetarian food before going home. The temple provides vegetarian food on New Year's Eve, and all pilgrims who come to worship can eat it. In the middle of the night, let's eat supper." After laughing, everyone continued Walking to the back mountain, my mother suggested on the way.

"Vegetarian food? What do you have?" I had already eaten the New Year's Eve dinner at night, but I was too tired to eat a little, and now I'm a little hungry again.

"Who knows? Some are good to eat, and you still want to choose?"

A Rui was delighted to see me deflated, and talked nonsense next to me, "Shu Yu, let me tell you, the vegetarian food in the temple is basically soy products. I heard that the vegetarian food in many temples is very good, and the tofu and vegetables are delicious. It can taste like meat."

I glanced at A Rui, turned my face away and didn't want to talk to her.

My mother agreed with A Rui's statement, nodding her head again and again.

Originally, I thought that the place where I eat vegetarian food should be a small courtyard, which is about the same size as the place where A Rui went to seek marriage.However, when I got to the place, I realized that I was too naive.

In a wooden building of about [-] square meters, several rows of long tables are arranged in an orderly manner, and benches are neatly arranged on both sides, on which many pilgrims sit. very.It is indeed a well-known temple, which can accommodate hundreds of people to fast at the same time.

We found an empty seat and sat down. Immediately, a chef came over to distribute the tableware to us, and then brought a large iron bucket, and each of us scooped a spoonful of food into the bowl.

"Hey! Such a big glutinous rice ball!" I looked down, and there was a fist-sized glutinous rice ball in the bowl, and there was a shallow layer of soup at the bottom of the bowl.

"Isn't this too big?" A Rui was also frightened, opened her eyes and exclaimed.

Dad couldn't wait any longer, he had already buried his head down and took a bite, hissing and inhaling until it was so hot.

"Be careful!" Mom frowned and wiped Dad's mouth. When he calmed down, she asked, "How is it? What does it smell like?"

"Brown sugar, it's very hot inside, remember to blow on it."

Everyone seldom eats this kind of handmade brown sugar glutinous rice balls on weekdays, and they are all very curious. After hearing what my father said, they lowered their heads and began to figure out how to eat it into their mouths.

Fist-sized glutinous rice balls are difficult to control with chopsticks. After trying several times, I managed to pry the glutinous rice balls from the bottom of the bowl. I buried my head in a small bite, and my mouth was filled with sweet brown sugar juice in an instant.

The taste is surprisingly good.

Ning Ran sat next to me but didn't move much, just pretended to hold the chopsticks, and didn't take a bite of the glutinous rice balls.This kind of stuff made of glutinous rice is not easy to digest, so it is not very suitable for her.

"Why don't you eat?" I quietly leaned over to ask her.

Ning Ran looked a little embarrassed, his eyes glanced at the elders on the opposite side one by one, and he replied in a low voice: "I don't have any appetite, I can't eat." with me.

"What do you want to do?" Her eyes told me she was a bit malicious.

Ning Ran raised the corners of her lips and smiled flatteringly. Regardless of whether I agreed or not, she quickly poured the glutinous rice balls into my bowl while the people next to her were not paying attention.

"..." Before I could swallow the mouthful, there was another one in the bowl, and I started to feel stomach pain in an instant.

Coincidentally at this time, Ning Ran's mother rested her chopsticks, and she saw the extra lump in my bowl at a glance, and Ning Ran's bowl next to it was empty again, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Ning Ran reacted very quickly. Before her aunt could ask anything, she took the initiative to make a pretense, her tone was extremely calm, as if what she said was true, "Shu Yu said that she thought it tasted good, and wanted to One, I happened to be not hungry, so I gave this to her."

I almost choked, I looked sideways at Ning Ran and didn't know what to say.

The people in the company raised their heads and looked at me when they heard Ning Ran's words, as if I was really a glutton, and they all joked that they asked me to ask the master for another bowl.A Rui held the bowl and smiled like a fox who stole fish, her eyeballs rolling around, staring at us all the time.

My face was flushed with embarrassment, so I had to bury my head and eat in silence, pretending that nothing happened, which made them shut up.

Thanks to Ning Ran's lies, when I got up, my stomach felt extremely uncomfortable, as if I had put a weight on it, and I almost couldn't even walk.

"Are you okay?" Ning Ran came over to support me and asked worriedly.

I looked at her amusedly, and said to myself that if you hadn't thrown a pot at me just now, I wouldn't have survived half to death.

"I feel uncomfortable in my stomach. This thing is too heavy." I rubbed my stomach and grinned.

"You still eat if you know how to support you." Ning Ran walked with me at the back, muttering in a low voice.

"Hey!" I became impatient when I heard that, and glared at her angrily, "Who do you think hurt me?"

Ning Ran also knew that he was wrong, so he suppressed his laughter and kept nodding his head to admit his mistake.

It was already past zero when we went down the mountain, but the sound of firecrackers was still ringing on the mountain road, and the atmosphere of the New Year was very strong.

The rest of the people walked in front, talking and laughing. When they were approaching the foot of the mountain, the fathers suddenly ran to the side of the road, grabbing the trunk of the tree, not knowing what they were doing, and the mothers surrounded them and directed loudly.

Ning Ran and I followed and watched curiously.

I thought they found something good on the side of the road, but the three fathers worked hard for a while, and one of them broke a branch.

"What are you folding this for?"

Dad shook the branch in his hand and smiled, "What do you know? This is called 'picking up money'."

"The thicker the firewood you pick up, the better your fortune will be in the coming year." Uncle Ning also added.

A Rui was excited when she heard it, and jumped directly into the grass by the roadside, jumped up with her arms around the tree trunk, and raised her arms to reach the branches.

I found it strange, so I followed A Rui and jumped in. After searching for a long time, I broke off a handful of twigs from a small shrub.

Ning Ran kept watching with a smile on her face, and when I went out holding a handful of twigs, she immediately stood over.

"Why don't you break two?" I raised my eyes and asked her.

Ning Ran stretched out his hand to hold my wrist, and said with a smile: "They collect firewood, I just plant an elm tree at home, and I don't have to worry about 'money' for the rest of my life."

I froze for a moment, thoughts flashed through my mind, and I raised my eyebrows and stared at her: "You say I'm stupid again!"
