On the night of the Lunar New Year's Eve, Chen Xing slept alone in the office. He didn't sleep well and dreamt the whole night. He woke up several times. The first time he woke up, he thought it was almost dawn, but it was only two o 'clock in the morning. He had no choice but to lie down and sleep again. The next few times he woke up, he was half-asleep. Chen Xing couldn't avoid the customs of the Lunar New Year. Like other ordinary people, he was eager to get home as soon as possible.
He woke up at five o 'clock in the morning. Li Yong's car was already parked downstairs. They had already set the time to leave at five o' clock. Chen Xing's flight to Hai City was at 11 o 'clock in the morning.
Li Yong and Huang Jianghua sat in the car, yawning. Finally, they looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile. They didn't ask each other anything.
Chen Xing washed up and went downstairs. When he got in the car, he asked with a smile, "Did you two sleep well last night?"
Huang Jianghua was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile, "Yes … Yes." When he said this, Huang Jianghua felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, he wasn't facing Chen Xing, otherwise Chen Xing would see his thick dark circles again. They went out to play with Lin Siyu until 12 o 'clock. After taking a shower, Huang Jianghua hugged Lin Siyu's fragrant body. He couldn't help but have sex with her again. They didn't stop until almost one o' clock. After that, they chatted for a while. Huang Jianghua forgot when he fell asleep, but the alarm on his phone was set at five o 'clock. In fact, he didn't sleep for long. Recently, he was really tired, and most importantly, his body was weak.
It's rare for me to have insomnia during the Lunar New Year. I lay down for a long time before falling asleep. I woke up many times in the middle, feeling that I was missing something. Chen Xing said with a smile.
On the Lunar New Year's Eve, most people are reuniting with their families. Secretary, you must be missing your family. Huang Jianghua said with a smile.
"You're right. I might not care about it in normal times, but I'm really homesick during the Lunar New Year." Chen Xing nodded with a smile.
At this time, Li Yong started the car and drove out of the Municipal Party Committee. Chen Xing looked at the dark sky outside. The shops on both sides of the road were tightly closed. It was still early in the morning. Even those restaurants rarely opened at this time, not to mention that many shops were closed for the New Year. Chen Xing turned his head and said to Li Yong and Huang Jianghua, "Let's go to the expressway first and have breakfast at the service area of the expressway at about 8 am.
Secretary, your flight is at 11 o 'clock in the morning, right? " If we don't have enough time, I don't think we should stop. It's more important to hurry. "Huang Jianghua," I said. "If we have time, we have time, but we.
Chen Year, "Chen Chen Year, Year Year Year," I will of "of Xing." Of Lunar New Year Will be. "Thank you for staying in Mountain Gaze with me on the Lunar New Year's Eve," Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Secretary, this is what we should do." Huang Jianghua shook his head with a smile. If it wasn't because he wanted to spend New Year's Eve with Lin Siyu, perhaps he really would've returned to the Southern Province yesterday afternoon. However, he wouldn't say such words out loud. Not only could he stay with the beauty, he could also make Chen Xing more satisfied with his performance. Why not?
As they were talking, the car suddenly braked. Chen Xing, who was sitting in the back seat, didn't fasten his seat belt. His body rushed forward and hit the headrest in the front seat. Huang Jianghua almost hit the front windshield. Fortunately, he supported it with his hand in time. After a false alarm, he quickly turned to look at Chen Xing. "Secretary Chen, are you all right?"
"I'm fine." Chen Xing waved his hand. "I just hit my forehead. It's not a big deal."
"Xiao Li, what are you doing? The secretary is in the car. You have to focus on driving." Huang Jianghua turned his head and said to Li Yong. He fastened his seat belt as he spoke. Just now, he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was fine.
"The car just now was sick. It ran a red light and suddenly rushed over." Li Yong cursed. Realizing that Chen Xing was in the car, Li Yong, who wanted to say something else, quickly stopped and said, "Secretary, I'm sorry to scare you."
"It's okay, but I almost got into a car accident on the first day of the New Year. Is it a bad omen?" Chen Xing joked. "Alright, let's drive. It's just a false alarm. It's good that nothing happened."
Hearing this, Li Yong didn't say anything. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Although it was the car that ran a red light, he was indeed distracted and didn't focus. Last night, he played in the bar until late and didn't sleep for a while. This morning, he woke up so early, and he was listless and yawning. As the saying goes, don't drive when you're tired. Li Yong was the driver for the leader, and he knew this. But who else could it be other than him? He didn't dare to say that he went to the bar until late last night and didn't have the energy to drive.
Keeping his spirits up, Li Yong was more focused at the moment. His sleepiness was gone because of the scare just now. Fortunately, nothing happened. If something happened to the leader, Li Yong didn't dare to think about it.
The car left Wangshan City and soon drove on the highway. Seeing that the sky outside was gradually getting brighter, Huang Jianghua also looked at the time from time to time. Lin Siyu could only go to the long-distance bus station after eight o 'clock to take the bus. Huang Jianghua's mind was still full of her, and he couldn't bear to part with her.
"Xiao Huang, President Shen will be officially transferred to the head office after the New Year. Your future father-in-law's future is getting brighter and brighter." Chen Xing suddenly said with a smile.
"Secretary, this matter hasn't been settled yet, and I'm still working in that direction." Huang Jianghua smiled dryly and withdrew his thoughts from Lin Siyu. Shen Huining hadn't told him this before. Now hearing Chen Xing's words, Huang Jianghua became more and more excited. If he really got together with Shen Huining, with Shen Qing 'an's protection and Chen Xing's care, he wouldn't have to worry about not having the opportunity to be in charge of politics like Chen Xing in the future.
"At your age, it's time to talk about marriage. If you're in love, hurry up and get married." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Secretary, I want to do it, but the key is that I can't do it alone." Huang Jianghua laughed and was already thinking about whether to use the opportunity of the New Year to test Shen Huining's attitude and get engaged if possible. Now Shen Qing 'an was transferred to the head office as the vice president, which was equivalent to a deputy ministerial level cadre. Huang Jianghua had to seize this father-in-law even more. It was better for a woman to marry well than to do a good job, and it was the same for a man.
"You're a man. When you should be decisive, you should be decisive. When you should take the initiative, you should take that step boldly. Women are emotional creatures. You, create a romantic proposal ceremony, and I'm sure you can win her heart." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Secretary, then I'll listen to you. I'll go back and think about how to make a proposal ceremony." Huang Jianghua grinned.
Time passed quickly as they talked along the way. At about eight o 'clock, they stopped at the highway service area to have breakfast and then continued on their way. Chen Xing thought about whether there was anything he hadn't arranged in Mount Wang. After thinking about it carefully, he was relieved. There was nothing to worry about at work. During the New Year, he had to put aside his work and have a good rest. The only thing he was worried about was Xiang Xiurong. Out of consideration for Xiang Xiurong's safety, Chen Xing suggested that Xiang Xiurong stay in Mount Wang for the New Year. After all, the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee was relatively safe. He also asked two soldiers from the military division to replace the two plainclothes policemen to protect Xiang Xiurong's safety. In this way, nothing could go wrong.
In the end, Xiang Xiurong listened to his suggestion and didn't go home. Chen Xing sent someone to drive to Changxing City to pick up his husband and celebrate the New Year with him. In this way, Xiang Xiurong wouldn't have to spend the New Year alone in Mount Wang.
When Xiang Xiurong's matter was properly arranged, Chen Xing had nothing to worry about. Thinking of the dream he had last night, Chen Xing couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Last night, he had dreamed that he had become a prisoner. What a messy dream he had. People said that if you think about it during the day, you will dream about it at night. He had never thought about that kind of thing during the day, but he had that kind of dream at night. This was incredible. If it weren't for the fact that he had never believed in such dreams, he really wanted to find a master to explain the meaning of this dream.
Some people said that sometimes the things in dreams were a warning of the future, a warning of what might happen. According to this theory, as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he had dreamed that he had become a prisoner. Was it really possible that such a thing would happen in the future?
It turned out that this was nonsense. If he became a prisoner, the sun would probably rise from the west. Chen Xing curled his lips, but last night's dream was really strange.
After getting rid of those messy thoughts in his head, Chen Xing didn't want to think about it anymore. What happened in a dream couldn't be taken seriously.
When it was close to 10 o 'clock, the car arrived in Nanzhou. Huang Jianghua got off the car in the downtown area, while Li Yong drove Chen Xing to the airport. On the way, Chen Xing also cared about Li Yong's marriage. His two most trusted personal staff were both single. Li Yong was a little better, after all, he was less than 25 years old, but Huang Jianghua was almost 30 years old. He just cared about Huang Jianghua, so he couldn't forget about Li Yong. Speaking of which, as a leader, he was probably the one who was the least arrogant to his subordinates.
"Xiao Li, go back. Your family is probably waiting for you. You can go back first. Have fun and relax during the New Year." When they arrived at the airport, Chen Xing said to Li Yong with a smile, and asked Li Yong to go back first.
"Secretary, it's okay. It's not a big deal. I'll stay with you until the plane takes off." Li Yong said with a smile.
"Are you going to sit with me and stare at me?" Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. "Go back.
"Secretary, I'll stay with you for a while. I don't have anything to do when I go back." Li Yong smiled and scratched his head.
"I asked you to go back, so go back. Why are you as long-winded as Xiao Huang?" Chen Xing laughed and scolded. It was the New Year. How could he not have anything to do when he went home?
After "sending" Li Yong away, Chen Xing waited alone at the airport. Chu Rong and He Li had already gone back. Only Jiang Wan stayed in Nanzhou and had brought her family to Nanzhou. Jiang Wan did not plan to go back to Ximen County for the New Year this year. For her, there were no good memories there. Except for her family, she did not like to go back at all. Now that her family was in Nanzhou, she planned to spend the New Year in Nanzhou. Moreover, her restaurant was open as usual for the New Year. Jiang Wan did not feel at ease leaving it alone.
If he had enough time, Chen Xing would have visited Jiang Wan first. However, he was in a hurry to go back to Hai City, so he could only visit her after the New Year. There were many congratulatory and New Year messages on his phone. They were received at midnight last night. Chen Xing only heard the phone on the bedside vibrating. He looked through a few messages and stopped looking at them. There were many people who sent him New Year greetings, so Chen Xing did not read them one by one. Now that he was bored, he picked up the phone and looked at it again. As he read, he deleted the messages. There were many women who sent him New Year greetings. Chen Xing did not dare to let his wife see them.
When he saw Zhang Xin's name, Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. This superstar would always send him messages. Even though he rarely replied, her enthusiasm was not reduced at all. After reading her New Year greetings, Chen Xing also deleted them.
After reading for a long time, Chen Xing looked at the time. His wife and mother were on the flight from the capital to Hai City at 10 o 'clock in the morning, an hour earlier than him. They had already boarded the plane.
After waiting for more than half an hour at the airport, they finally boarded the plane. The flight would take more than two hours. Chen Xing only booked business class. Sitting next to him was a young lady in her twenties. Chen Xing glanced at the other party and was a little surprised. The other party's appearance was definitely not inferior to those so-called superstars. Even he was a little stunned. It was rare for him to meet such a beautiful woman on a plane. Chen Xing was very surprised.
The broadcast on the plane was heard. After a short period of dizziness, Chen Xing knew that the plane had taken off. Thinking that he would be able to see his family in more than two hours, Chen Xing was a little excited.
He picked up an economics book and started reading. Perhaps because he did not sleep well last night, Chen Xing directly dozed off. He did not know how long he had slept. It was not until someone next to him touched him that Chen Xing woke up. He turned his head to look left and right. Chen Xing was still in a daze.
Sir, we've arrived at Hai City. If you continue to sleep, you won't be able to get off the plane. The beautiful lady sitting next to him glanced at Chen Xing. When she spoke, there was a slight smile on her face. It made people feel as if their eyes had lit up.
They've arrived so soon? Chen Xing's eyes widened. He raised his hand to look at the time. Indeed, it was already past 1 o 'clock. He had slept until the end of the flight. He turned his head and was about to thank the lady, but she was already gone. He looked forward and saw that she had already gotten up and left.
Shaking his head, Chen Xing thought to himself that he slept better during the day than at night. He did not think too much about it. He put away the book in his hand and got up to leave.
After getting off the plane and walking towards the exit, Chen Xing saw the beautiful figure in front of him. He took two quick steps and caught up with her. He smiled and said, "Thank you for waking me up just now.
It's nothing. If I didn't wake you up, the air stewardess would have woken you up. " The lady smiled. Her two rows of white teeth were particularly eye-catching under the sunlight.
No matter what, I have to thank you for not waking me up. Chen Xing smiled.
This time, the woman only revealed a faint smile on her face and did not say anything else. Instead, she intentionally distanced herself from Chen Xing. She had encountered too many men who took the initiative to hit on her, and they were like annoying flies that annoyed her to no end. Now that Chen Xing had purposely chased after her, she could not help but overthink things.
When Chen Xing saw the lady's reaction and then looked at the lady's smile, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. It seemed that the lady had thought that he was deliberately trying to hit on her.
Nodding slightly at the lady, Chen Xing did not want to be misunderstood again, so he quickened his pace and walked forward. A man's stride was bigger than a woman's, so Chen Xing left the lady behind him in an instant. This made the lady stunned and looked at Chen Xing's back in surprise. She had a good impression of this man who was reading professional economics books on the plane. He looked like a scholar. When she saw him catch up with her just now, she thought that he was another "gentle beast" like she usually met. She did not expect that Chen Xing would leave so decisively.
Outside the exit passage of the airport, Zhang Ningning held the child and waited for Chen Xing to come out with Chen Xing's parents, Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang. After getting off the plane, Zhang Ningning and Zou Fang did not go back immediately. Instead, they stayed to wait for Chen Xing.
Cheng Ye, who was already four or five months old, became more and more adorable. He was looking at the people coming out with a pair of big bright eyes, as if he knew how to recognize people. His eyes twinkled, so adorable that people could not help but want to pinch his little pink cheeks twice.
"Coming, coming." Zou Fang had been staring at the people coming out. She saw Chen Xing immediately and said happily.
Chen Xing also saw his parents, wife and children waiting at the exit. He quickened his pace and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. This time, he did not tell the others the specific time of his arrival because he hoped to have some time alone with his family. Now that he saw his parents, wife and children, Chen Xing's smile was extremely bright.
"Dad, Mom, have you waited for a long time?" Chen Xing walked up to them quickly. While talking to his parents, his eyes had already turned to his wife. When their eyes met, they seemed to know what the other was thinking. With a knowing smile on their faces, Chen Xing directly held his son in his arms.
"Look, Cheng Ye is not afraid of strangers even though I haven't seen him for so long. His grandpa occasionally came to see him and wanted to hold him, but this little guy was not willing and kept crying." Seeing that her grandson did not cry or make a fuss, Zou Fang could not help but smile, and there was a little surprise in her eyes.
"The son is close to the father." Chen Xing grinned. His father-in-law had now entered the ranks of national leaders and was busy with official affairs. It was estimated that it was rare for him to come to see this little guy. He wanted to hold him but he kept crying. At this time, Chen Xing could imagine the interesting expression on his father-in-law's face.
"Let's go. Get in the car and go home to make up for the reunion dinner." Chen Xing held his son in his arms with a smile on his face.
The family walked to the airport parking lot, talking and laughing. The young woman walking behind Chen Xing was a little surprised to see Chen Xing's back. Seeing Chen Xing holding the child and the woman beside him, the woman laughed at herself, thinking that she might have misunderstood him just now. Maybe he really caught up with them to thank her.
After getting in the car, Chen Xing held his son in his arms and teased him, which made the little guy giggle. After a while, he remembered that his mobile phone was still turned off, so he took it out and turned it on. As soon as he turned it on, he heard a series of text messages. He looked through it and found a missed call. It was from Huang Ming, who sent another text message asking if he had arrived. There were also text messages from Yang Zhen and Zhang Mingde, asking if he had arrived. These two were probably afraid of disturbing his family reunion by calling, so they only sent text messages.
After reading the text messages, Chen Xing was not in a hurry to reply. He put the phone back in his pocket and continued to chat with his parents. He also listened to Zhang Ningning talking about the interesting things about the little guy. Although he could not speak now, he was very good at recognizing people. He would not let people he did not know hold him, or he would not stop crying.
"My father seldom came here, but this little guy did not let him hold him and kept crying. My father was so angry that he snorted and glared at him, saying that he doted on this grandson for nothing. He specially took time to see him, but the little guy did not give him face and did not even let him hold him. Zhang Ningning could not help laughing when she talked about the last time her father came to see her.
Dad was so busy now, but he specially took time to see this little guy. The little guy did not give him face, so it was no wonder that Dad was jealous. Chen Xing said with a smile.
So you should feel lucky. You have only met Cheng Ye a few times, but this little guy actually let you hold him. It is really a miracle. Zhang Ningning said with a smile. She looked at her baby son, who was rubbing against her husband's feet, and her face was full of motherly love.
"By the way, Chen Xing, after dinner, you and Ningning should go to Ning Yun Temple to burn incense." Zou Fang suddenly said.
"Go to Ning Yun Temple to burn incense?" Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, looked at his mother in confusion, and said with a smile, "Mom, why did you suddenly ask us to go there to burn incense?
This is the first year of Cheng Ye's birth. We should go to pray for him, burn incense, and bless him to grow up healthily. " Zou Fang said with a smile.
"Mom, there is no need for this. As long as we adults take good care of him, he will naturally grow up healthily. Besides, this is also related to the social environment that children live in. It is useless to worship those. You are a Party member, but your awareness is not good." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Slap yourself for talking nonsense. God is watching. What are you talking about? You are not allowed to say such things in the future." Zou Fang rolled her eyes at her son. That Ning Yun Temple was efficacious. Otherwise, how could the incense be so prosperous? "You have stayed in Hai City for 20 or 30 years. Haven't you heard of the efficacy of Ning Yun Temple? You can't say such things in the future."
"Okay, okay, then I won't say it. But are we really going to pray in the afternoon?" Chen Xing smiled bitterly.
"Yes, we must go. We usually go on the first day of the New Year." Zou Fang nodded affirmatively.
Hearing his mother's words, Chen Xing did not know what to say. Outside, he was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, high and mighty. But in front of his parents, he was just a son. Even if he did not agree with his mother, he would not argue with her.
"Oh, don't look like you don't believe me. When you first became a civil servant, I went there to ask for a fortune teller for you. I asked the master of that temple to interpret the fortune teller. At that time, he said that you would meet a benefactor in your life. You would have a little setback when you were young, but you would soar to the sky in the future. Look, it is quite efficacious." Zou Fang said with a smile. In front of Zhang Ningning, she did not dare to say that at that time, she saw that Chen Xing was depressed because of the setback in his love, so she went to ask for a fortune teller for Chen Xing. In front of her daughter-in-law, she would not be stupid to mention her son's ex.
He might say that he was destined to meet a benefactor in his life. As long as one or two out of ten people were deceived by him, his reputation would spread, and then it would spread from person to person. Everyone said that it was efficacious. This was how the feudal superstition came about. Chen Xing muttered.
"Brat, if you talk nonsense again, I will teach you a lesson." Zou Fang said angrily. She rarely lost her temper with her son, especially when her son was now the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Zou Fang was even more proud of Chen Xing. Now, she basically listened to her son and would discuss with her son first if there was anything. This time, when she heard her son talk nonsense, Zou Fang was also a little angry. For people of the older generation like her, even if she had been educated before, she still chose to believe in some supernatural things. Moreover, she kept it a secret and did not dare to talk nonsense.
"Okay, okay, then I won't say it." Chen Xing nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He could see that his mother was really anxious.
"Chen Xing, I have also been to Ning Yun Temple. Since mom said that it was so efficacious, let's go and pay our respects." At this time, Zhang Ningning laughed out loud. After all, she had stayed in Hai City for a long time. The most famous place in Hai City was Ning Yun Mountain. Ning Yun Temple on the mountain was full of incense all year round, and pilgrims were endless. Zhang Ningning also went to the mountain to play once before and walked into the temple by the way. Indeed, she saw that the perfume inside was very strong. She didn't know whether Ning Yun Mountain was famous because of Ning Yun Temple or Ning Yun Temple was famous because of Ning Yun Mountain. For outsiders like her, it was not clear. However, many landscapes on the mountain were also very interesting, so Zhang Ningning also took it as going up the mountain to play.
"Well, let's go and pay our respects. Burn incense for our little Chengye and bless him to grow up healthily and happily. Don't ask for success in the future, but for a lifetime of health and safety." Chen Xing laughed.
"Yes, it's good to be healthy and safe for a lifetime. He doesn't need to have any great achievements. It's good to have an ordinary family and live a healthy and happy life." Zhang Ningning nodded with a smile. "Don't be like you and Dad. For the sake of that official hat, you don't even care about your family."
Hearing his wife's words, Chen Xing smiled helplessly. At this time, he could only tactfully remain silent. Men had their own pursuits, which might be different from women's thoughts and requirements. Women wanted men to take care of their family, but how could they take care of their career and family at the same time?
The family didn't go home but went to the hotel. Chen Shuiping had already booked a banquet in advance. At this time, it was almost two o 'clock, and there weren't many people in the hotel. Only they were sitting at the table and eating. Moreover, they had eaten last night's New Year's Eve dinner. If this was known to others, they would probably think it was funny.
"I don't know if it's because the family is sitting together that the food becomes fragrant, or if the food in this hotel is originally more fragrant. Why is it so fragrant?" During the banquet, Chen Xing said with a smile.
"I think you're starving." Zhang Ningning glanced at her husband with a smile. "Your flight is at 11 o 'clock. I guess you haven't had lunch yet. My parents and I just ate something at the airport to fill our stomachs."
"That might be true." Chen Xing nodded with a smile. However, the feeling of eating together as a family was different.
As they ate, the family chatted happily. From time to time, laughter could be heard. In the past few months, Zou Fang stayed in the capital to take care of her grandson. Only Chen Shuiping stayed in Hai City. The old couple also had endless things to talk about.
After lunch, it was almost three o 'clock. Zou Fang and Chen Shuiping went home first, leaving the car behind. Zou Fang insisted that Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning bring their children to Ning Yun Temple to burn incense. In the end, she kept reminding Chen Xing to ask for a fortune stick for Chengye.
"Chen Xing, remember to ask for a fortune stick for Chengye. It's very accurate." Zou Fang nagged.
"Mom, I remember." Chen Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Don't forget, or I won't let you have dinner tonight." Zou Fang said with a smile. She recalled that when Chen Xing was still in school, she didn't scold or beat him up for skipping classes or fighting or being disobedient. Instead, she would cook Chen Xing's favorite food and make him stand at the side, refusing to let him eat. Only when Chen Xing admitted his mistake and realized what he had done wrong did she allow him to sit down and eat. In the blink of an eye, her son had grown up and become a successful man, while her temples were already graying. Time really flies.
In the end, Zou Fang nagged her husband to leave first. She left the car for Chen Xing to drive, and the old couple took a taxi back first. They still had to visit a few relatives who needed to visit. Otherwise, they would go with them.
"Mom, don't you know that we are atheists? Why did you ask us to burn incense and pray to Buddha?" Seeing his parents leave, Chen Xing sat in the car and shook his head with a smile.
"Don't complain. The old people's ideas are different from ours. They all believe in this." Zhang Ningning smiled. "Isn't Ningyunshan fun? We'll just take it as a trip."
"That's right." Chen Xing nodded with a smile and said, "Ningning, you used to work in Hai City. Have you ever been there?"
"Of course, I have. I've been there once." Zhang Ningning said. Thinking of the carefree life at that time, it was really comfortable.
"Do you mean that you don't have a comfortable life now?" Chen Xing glanced at his wife and said with a smile.
"Now that I've given birth to a child, I've almost become an old woman. What's there to be comfortable about? It's not as comfortable as being a man." Zhang Ningning said coquettishly.
"Oh, why is it a man's fault again? It seems that I can't talk anymore. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to me later." Chen Xing said with a smile.
The couple laughed and chatted. After all, Chen Xing was a native of Hai City. Even though he had been working in other places for several years, he was still very familiar with every road in Hai City. They took the shortest road to leave the city. Ningyunshan was on the outskirts of the city. It was the most famous mountain in Hai City. There was a legend in the local books about it that immortals came from it. That was how Ningyunshan got its name. After the founding of the People's Republic, because of the sweeping away of feudal superstition and the promotion of scientific culture, the name of Ningyunshan was removed from Ningyunshan.
Looking from a distance, Ningyunshan, which was faintly surrounded by clouds and mist, did look like a fairy mountain. However, when Chen Xing, who was forced to come to burn incense by his mother, saw the scene, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. Maybe those clouds and mist were the air pollution caused by people burning incense on the mountain for a long time.
They went to Ningyun Temple first. Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning discussed that they would go to the temple to burn incense first and then play on the mountain for a while to finish the "business" their mother told them to do.
They bought incense at the entrance of the temple. When they walked into the temple, they found that the number of people who came to burn incense and worship Buddha was far more than they had imagined. In fact, from the fact that the parking lot was almost full, they could see that there were many people. However, when they entered the temple, they were still surprised.
I have been here once before. There were many people, but not so many. Zhang Ningning shook her head and said.
Maybe it was because there were more people during the New Year. Chen Xing smiled bitterly. With so many people, they would be squeezed into a pile.
Ningning, have you ever burned incense? How do you do it? Is there anything special? Chen Xing took out the incense he bought and suddenly realized that he didn't know how to do it at all.
I don't know either. I haven't done it before.
Tsk, my mother asked us to do it. She is really blind.
Let's see how others do it. We will learn from them. Zhang Ningning winked playfully and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Xing nodded with a smile. Anyway, he didn't believe in it. So he just did it casually. He didn't care if there was anything special about burning incense and worshiping Buddha.
Squeezing in the crowd, Chen Xing finally finished the worship and inserted the incense into the incense burner. He was already sweating profusely. Looking at the people coming and going, Chen Xing swore that he would never come again. As the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he was forced by his mother to burn incense. It would be a joke if it was spread out.
Chen Xing, my mother said that we still need to ask for a lot. There is a lot drawing place next to the main hall. My mother should be talking about that place. Zhang Ningning said.
"Well, let's go and ask for a lot for the little fellow. Otherwise, when my mother asks, I can't report to her." Chen Xing said with a wry smile.
There were many people at the lot drawing place. After waiting for a while, it was finally Chen Xing's turn. He walked over and sat down. He randomly drew a lot for his son and showed it to the sitting old monk. He wanted to ask what it meant, but the old monk just stared at him without saying anything or taking the lot.
"Did you ask for a lot for yourself or for someone else?" The old monk looked at Chen Xing.
"For my son." Chen Xing gave the old monk a strange look.
"I think you should also ask for a lot for yourself." The old monk opened his half-closed eyes and looked at Chen Xing.
