He Shuilian looked up and said, "Don't look at me like that. A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at in a different light. I've been down there for so long and have nothing to do. I've learned many things from Little Xing. I'm telling you, Yuan Hai, we are very enlightened now! "
Yuan Hai was already satisfied with seeing her. As for what He Shuilian said? He believed it all! He firmly believed it! Yuan Hai said with a silly smile, "There's still a school down there?"
"Don't change the topic. Yuan Hai, I'm telling you that we are your pride! We also wish for you to become our pride! Up there, you will be a hero's father and husband wherever you go. As for us down there, we do not have such honor. Every time we return from Village Viewing Platform, people will ask me and Little Xing what you are doing. We are too embarrassed to say anything about you. Do you want us to tell them that you are silent all day, pretending to be mute, lacking confidence or goals, and that you are just wandering around aimlessly? "He Shuilian said.
Yuan Hai turned agape and realized that he was at a loss for a response.
Yuan Xingxing added, "Dad, you weren't like this in the past. Back when the levees were about to burst, you were on the front lines. You should have been a hero. "
Yuan Hai lowered his head and said in shame, "But … What can I do? I don't have anything … "
He Shuilian continued. "Yuan Hai, the people down there don't compete on who has money. What they compete on is whose family lives better and is happier. They do more good deeds and accumulate more merit. Whoever brings more hope to the world will be looked up to by everyone. All the best, Hubby. Don't disappoint us, alright? "
Yuan Hai looked up at He Shuilian. Having been down for twenty years, he really wished to reject such a great thing. However, when he saw He Shuilian's and Yuan Xingxing's expectant gazes, he swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
Yuan Xingxing said, "Dad, all the best. You are the best! Back then, you supported me the most. Now, I support you the most! I believe that my father is a man of indomitable spirit! All the best! "
Yuan Hai looked at Yuan Xingxing's smile and gritted his teeth. He exclaimed, "No problem! I will! For all of you, I will! "
"Haha … This is my favorite dad!" Yuan Xingxing laughed.
He Shuilian smiled as well, but Fangzheng was on the brink of tears. What he said later was even more explosive. He was afraid that he would infuriate Yuan Hai, so he hurriedly jumped out and took a deep breath. "Amitabha. Patron, it's time to return."
"Master, please don't, I beg you, let us talk for a while more. Just a moment! "Yuan Hai pleaded.
Fangzheng shook his head decisively. He had said what needed to be said. If he continued, it would be easy for him to collapse. Hence, he said, "There are laws in the human world, and there are rules in the world. It was already very difficult for This Penniless Monk to bring them up. Time's up, we have to go back, or else they'll be in trouble. "
Upon hearing that his wife and child would suffer, Yuan Hai immediately stopped pleading. Instead, he looked longingly at the two women. He could not bear to move his eyes away for even a second as he watched greedily and memorized them.
When Fangzheng saw this, his heart softened. However, he gritted his teeth and removed the illusion of the two women. There was no other way. He really didn't know how to act any deeper!
However, Fangzheng did not retract A Golden Millet Dream. Instead, he said to Ouyang Fenghua, "Let's go."
"Ah … Ah? Then … Forget it? " Ouyang Fenghua did not enter the dream, so she did not know what had happened. All she saw was Fangzheng looking at Yuan Hai in a daze. Yuan Hai was also in a daze before this happened.
Fangzheng smiled. "Forget it."
Then, Fangzheng turned to leave. Ouyang Fenghua looked at Yuan Hai before looking at Fangzheng. Finally, she followed. However, she was still a little worried. She planned on continuing paying attention to Yuan Hai in the future.
When Yuan Hai woke up, he realized that there were no monks or children around him. There was only him and the unchanging Dong River.
After a long while, Yuan Hai got up and bowed in every direction. Then, he said, "Thank you, Buddha, for showing yourself. Thank you, Buddha, for enlightening me. I've wasted half my life, but I finally know what I should do!"
After Yuan Hai returned to the village, he took the initiative to contact the village and went out to work.
Ten years later, the first Yuan Hai Hope Primary School was born. Yuan Hai became the primary school's first principal and first teacher. When he was interviewed by the media for the first time, everyone asked Yuan Hai what made him work so hard to earn money just for a Hope Primary School. Yuan Hai gave an honest smile and said, "It's because I want to make my wife and children proud."
Everyone was baffled. Did Yuan Hai have a wife and children?
…
After leaving Sunglow Monastery, Fangzheng, Red Boy, and Ouyang Fenghua prepared to return after declining Zen Master Sunglow's invitation to stay.
However, when they passed by Tanzhong City, Red Boy refused to leave.
When Ouyang Fenghua saw this, she said with a wry smile, "Little guy, why is your memory so good? I was planning on buying clothes for you in Black Mountain City since I'm more familiar with that place. Forget it, I'll buy it for you here. Let's go shopping. "
With that said, Ouyang Fenghua set off with Red Boy. Fangzheng followed since he had nothing to do.
Ouyang Fenghua inquired about the commercial street's location before taking public transport. Firstly, it was quite convenient and secondly, it saved money. After all, Ouyang Fenghua was not especially wealthy.
The trio boarded the bus. There were quite a number of empty seats in the bus. Fangzheng randomly chose a seat by the window while Ouyang Fenghua and Red Boy sat on the other side.
The bus started moving, and people began boarding at the second stop. By the third stop, apart from the last row in the corner, all the other seats were filled. Just as the driver closed the door and was about to drive off, an old granny ran over with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. She shouted from afar, "Wait! Wait! Wait! "
The old granny was rather fierce. Afraid that the bus would drive off, she ran to the front of the bus and waved her hand.
Helpless, the driver could only open the closed door again.
The old granny boarded the bus, panting. She did not forget to turn back to tug at her grandson. She shouted, "I told you to be faster, but you insisted on dawdling. You nearly missed another bus." As she spoke, she quickly took out two yuan and stuffed it into the slot.
The boy grunted, "I'm already quite fast. It's just that you are faster."
"Of course. I'm still strong despite my age!" The old granny said smugly. With that said, she swept the bus and realized that there were only seats in the back corner. She immediately frowned. She swept her gaze again and looked at them one by one. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Fangzheng did not think too much about it. There were seats in the back. The old granny could just sit there. It had nothing to do with him. If there were no more seats in the bus, he would have given up.
But at that moment, a figure appeared beside him.
Fangzheng looked up and saw the granny standing beside him with a solemn expression. She did not say a word as she stared intently at his bald head.
