Chapter 201

In the morning, LAN Xiaoying and I first kowtowed to grandma for the new year. Although LAN Xiaoying lives in the South without this custom, our north is an inherent tradition. When she was a child, she spent the new year in Shiyan village. It's not that she didn't kowtow to Grandpa Liu Kui. Grandma took out red envelopes one by one. I didn't have to open them. I knew that there was 50 yuan in them. This is also the inherent tradition of our family. There is not much red envelope money, but joy. Just like wechat grabbing red envelopes, it's happy to grab a penny for a long time, as if that penny was gold.

Soon after we had dinner, Chen Xi and Chang Hao came to pay New Year's greetings. Chen Xi stared at me. I know what it means. Master wants to give me a red envelope. So I reluctantly gave the red envelope given by my grandmother to the boy.

"Why not mine?" Chang Hao has quit.

"You are not my apprentice. I still want to ask you for a red envelope." I glared at him angrily. His uncle's, my red envelope is gone.

In the afternoon, Chen Xi was going to take LAN Xiaoying to see the owner of the antique shop, so the lunch was settled. So I asked Chang Hao not to go and eat at my house. While chatting, I received a phone call from situ Jing. This girl actually paid new year's greetings to me. Then she received a blessing message from Ling Wei. Two beauties sent blessings, which was happier than receiving two red envelopes.

When I was happy, I suddenly thought of Huasi. She was lonely and pitiful, so she sent her a new year's blessing with cheap hands. Unexpectedly, she returned one soon and didn't get angry with me again. But a look at the message, not a blessing, but "I found your mother"!

My heart exploded and I called her immediately, but no one answered. Then she sent another text message: "she is in a nunnery thirty miles away and has cut her hair as a nun."

A nunnery thirty miles away. Where is that? Because Huangyu city is located in a mountainous area, there are many scenic spots nearby, and there are several temples and nunneries in the scenic spots, but I don't know which one to refer to. I hurriedly asked Chang Hao to search the Internet for all nunneries within thirty miles.

They were stunned by this. Chang Hao asked, "why do you want to flirt with nuns?"

"Shut up and search for me!" I said angrily with a sinking face.

When Chang Hao saw that I was angry, he trembled and searched the Internet with his mobile phone. LAN Xiaoying knew there must be something wrong, so she went up to her and said in a low voice, "what's crazy on the first day of the new year? Don't upset grandma. "

Instead of talking to her, I stared at Chang Hao's cell phone and was in a mess. A few minutes later, Chang Hao showed me his mobile phone. Thirty miles away, there were two nunneries, one on Ziyun mountain in the north of the city and the other on jiunvfeng in the south of the city. The two places are located at the north and south ends respectively, but if you are fast, you can all run today.

Then she ran over and whispered to her grandmother. As soon as she heard that she had found my mother's whereabouts, her eyes became red. She immediately took the gift sent by Chen Xi and said, "go find her now. It's best to persuade her to come back."

I nodded, took something and asked Chen Xi to drive to Ziyun mountain first. LAN Xiaoying and Chang Hao came out and asked what was the matter. I said to find my mother. They were stunned and crowded into the car.

After getting on the bus, Chang Hao gave himself a mouth: "sorry, I just farted."

I said absently, "that's all a joke. No one cares about you. Don't follow me. You'd better go back to dinner with my grandmother. "

"No, I'm going to find my mother with you!"

It was very cold on the road outside the city. The car ran fast. It reached the foot of Ziyun mountain in less than an hour. Chang Hao and Chen Xi followed with things. LAN Xiaoying and I couldn't wait to go up the mountain. The mountain is not high, only 500 or 600 meters above sea level, but in winter, the mountains in the north are like white striped chickens with their hair pulled out. They are bare everywhere and have no scenery at all. If it snows, it will be absolutely beautiful.

Climbing to the top of the mountain, I saw a lonely nunnery, which looked very desolate in the cold wind. I bear the sadness of my heart and knock on the temple door. There are several women here, but they are not nuns, and they all have long hair. They do not practice with their hair, but pretend to be nuns for scenic spots to earn incense money in the peak tourist season. We turned around inside and didn't find our mother, so we hurried down the mountain, returned to the city and drove to the south of the city.

After this toss, we arrived at jiunvfeng. It was more than one o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone climbed the mountain hungry again. Jiunu peak, more than 1000 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in Huangyu city. After climbing for more than an hour, when we reached the top of the mountain, we saw several temples located on a wide platform, including a nunnery.

On the plaque at the gate of the temple, there are three gold and clay characters: CI Ning nunnery!

My heart said I wouldn't make a mistake this time. Unexpectedly, a 40 year old nun who knocked on the temple door and received us said that there was no Li Xiuzhen here. I said no, that's my mother. She told me to become a monk here. The nun said that you have found the wrong place and slammed the door shut.

LAN Xiaoying sighed and said, "she may not want to see anyone, and we can't break into the quiet place of Buddhism. We'd better go back."

I took a long breath and said that either my mother didn't want to see me or Huasi was lying. But think about mom leaving all her savings to us. Where can she go? Losing two husbands and being ashamed of your mother-in-law and son must be painful. Besides becoming a monk, is there a better way to go?

"I'll wait here. Go back. Oh, didn't Xiao Ying go to see the owner of the antique shop this afternoon? " I suddenly remembered this and took out my mobile phone to watch the time. It's three o'clock.

Chen Xi said with a bitter smile, "go back at least five o'clock. I missed the appointed time early."

I turned to look at LAN Xiaoying and said, "I'm sorry!"

The girl smiled: "I'm not looking forward to this job. If I miss it, I'll miss it. Find something else. With my ability, I'm afraid I can't find a good job? "

She said it lightly, but from her eagerness to meet each other on the first day of the new year, she absolutely cares about this job. What good job can a graduate of archaeology find?

They didn't leave, but sat with me outside the temple, shivering with cold wind. Because I was in a bad mood, even Chang Hao shut up and sat in silence. I don't know how long it took. The temple door was opened. The nun came out just now.

The four of us got up quickly. She looked at us and shook her head and sighed, "Huixin asked me to tell a child named Bai Yu that she is all right here. She doesn't have to come to see her in the future. And send a message to grandma to wish her a happy new year, health and longevity! "

My nose was sour and asked, "Huixin is..."

"Huixin is the Dharma name of Li Xiuzhen after she became a monk. She also said that she would help the flower shop more in the future. The child is actually very kind-hearted, but he is a little wayward. Well, that's all. Go back! " When the nun finishes, she will close the door.

I know my mother will never see me. It's not that she doesn't want to see me, but that she's afraid it's hard to give up when she sees me. I held back my grief and handed over the gifts I had brought. The nun hesitated, finally caught it, and then closed the door.
