Rebirth begins with marrying an educated youth

Chapter 149: Ward off evil spirits and increase blessings
The early morning sunlight in winter shines on the glass of the flower shop. There is a layer of frost on the glass, which makes the already not strong sunlight lose another layer of heat.

The stove was lit and the room was warm, and all kinds of flowers and plants were arranged in order.

A bicycle is leaning against the wall.

Liu Xianglan just had a long nightmare. When she woke up, she stared at the roof with her eyes open.

Wang Xiaohong was still lying beside her, inside a house in Qingshan County.

They are city dwellers from the county seat, and their household registration has been here for a full year and a half.

It's been a year and a half and her life has changed.

The nightmares were slowly fading away as Liu Xianglan woke up.

In the end, she only vaguely remembered many bizarre and specious things.

In the dream, in Xiaoshantun, the Wang family members were like evil spirits from hell, trying to kill her and Wang Xiaohong... In the dream, during the New Year, thousands of houses were lit up, and she and Wang Xiaohong were buried alive by the collapsed houses, and were crushed to death...

In the dream, Ji Yuanhai thought she was unlucky and told her not to contact her again, so she threw herself into the river in despair; in the dream, her starving father and mother took her to starve to death together, saying that they no longer had to suffer.

Liu Xianglan sighed softly and shed tears inexplicably.

In this life, people have to endure so much hardship and not get so much.

"mother?"

Tears were sliding down her cheeks. Liu Xianglan was not in the mood to wipe them, but suddenly she heard Wang Xiaohong scream softly in her arms. She quickly turned around and wiped them clean with the corner of the quilt, her voice was as normal as normal.

"What's wrong?"

"Mom, you cried just now." Wang Xiaohong whispered.

Liu Xianglan suddenly panicked and quickly explained: "No! Mom woke up early, and she stayed up all night to settle accounts. Her eyes are so tired that they hurt."

"This is like looking at the sun. Either I cry or my eyes hurt from exhaustion."

"Then...Mom, don't be so tired in the future." Wang Xiaohong said.

"Hey, okay, Mom won't be so tired in the future." Liu Xianglan agreed and laughed again, "Hong, the older you grow, the more sensible you become! Everyone knows that I love you, and my love for you is not in vain!"

Saying that, he smiled and hugged Wang Xiaohong tightly.

Wang Xiaohong said quickly: "Mom, you're touching me so much that you're holding me back!"

Liu Xianglan couldn't help but laugh, stepped back a little to give her daughter some breathing space, and said, "You grew up eating it, and you think it's too big?"

Wang Xiaohong nodded: "I just feel uncomfortable being held back."

"Xiao Nizi..." Liu Xianglan laughed and was about to say a few more words to Wang Xiaohong.

There was a sound of footsteps, followed by someone knocking on the door.

Liu Xianglan was a little surprised: There is business so early?
"Wait a moment!" Liu Xianglan called to the door.

"Sister Liu!" Ji Yuanhai's voice came from the door, "We are back."

Liu Xianglan didn't know what was going on. When she came to her senses, she had already lifted the quilt and ran to the door barefoot.

Then he realized what he was doing and hurriedly ran back to put on his cotton pants and jacket.

After putting on their cotton trousers and jacket, they opened the door. Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling were surprised to see that two buttons of Liu Xianglan's cotton jacket were crooked, her heart was white against the wind, and her feet were stepping on the cold ground.

"Sister Liu... put on your shoes and button up your clothes quickly!" Lu Heling reminded, "Don't be anxious."

Only then did Liu Xianglan realize that she had made a mistake.

Secretly cursing himself for being shameless, he panicked like a dog wagging his tail when he heard Ji Yuan Hai, but he still couldn't help but keep looking at Ji Yuan Hai.

After not seeing each other for half a year, Ji Yuanhai's nose is still as straight, his eyes are still as deep and bright, his lips are still as pretty, and his cheeks are still as good.

He also had a learned look, which made Liu Xianglan feel more and more itchy in her heart.

It’s more beautiful than what I’ve seen in my dreams again and again.

He went back to the bed and put on his shoes, buttoned them up, and dressed Wang Xiaohong again.

When buttoning Wang Xiaohong's cotton-padded coat, she failed to button it several times. Wang Xiaohong glanced down at Liu Xianglan's hands and said, "Mom, your hands are shaking."

Liu Xianglan suddenly felt a little stunned. She was so embarrassed in her heart, but she finally managed to suppress her excitement.

Lu Heling glanced at Ji Yuanhai: Did you see, Sister Liu wants you to think the same thing?

Ji Yuanhai nodded.

Lu Heling smiled at him again, raising her eyebrows slightly slyly.

This appearance was something Ji Yuanhai had rarely seen before, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Lu Heling is telling me what she seems to be thinking?No way?What could she have thought?
When Liu Xianglan was finished, she got up and folded the quilt, put a new piece of briquettes in the stove, and asked Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling when they came back.

When I learned that they had just gotten off the train and hadn't had time to eat, I hurriedly rode my bicycle out again and bought steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and tofu curd.

Four people were sitting at the table eating breakfast and talking.

The county's Chicken Soup, Tofu Nao Ji Yuanhai tasted a little smoother, and since I didn't eat anything along the way, I finished it without even realizing it.

They talked about going to school, and also talked about making money, buying a house, buying a shop, and recognizing relatives after arriving in the provincial capital.

Liu Xianglan was overjoyed when she heard that Ji Yuanhai had bought a house and a shop in the provincial capital, and now had 9000 yuan with her. She was also relieved to hear that Lu Heling recognized her relatives and that her parents' bodies had returned.

Liu Xianglan also talked about the business situation in the past six months. Because there was no participation from Ji Yuanhai, the quality of flowers and plants was a little worse. In addition, Liu Xianglan had to spend money to buy flowers and plants herself, which added to the expenses.

Therefore, the entire flower shop only made 400 yuan in half a year, which was far behind what it was when Ji Yuanhai was there.

When Liu Xianglan talked about this, she felt uneasy and felt sorry for Ji Yuanhai's hard-earned legacy.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling didn't take it seriously - in this day and age, if you do a serious flower and plant business in a small county, your income is already quite good.It would be strange if Liu Xianglan could continue the special situation she had when Ji Yuanhai was around.

The money earned by Ji Yuanhai cannot be copied by others.

As they were talking, Lu Heling suddenly talked about the Grand Buddhist Temple in the provincial capital.

The Grand Buddha Temple in the provincial capital is an ancient temple with a long history. Legend has it that several emperors came to the temple in person to burn incense and worship. There are also real Buddha relics inside, which are extremely efficacious and can ward off evil spirits, pray for blessings, and bring good fortune in times of adversity.

Ji Yuanhai listened and said in his heart: Why didn’t I know?The last time I went to the Great Buddha Temple, He Ling didn’t tell me any of this.

Just as he was thinking about it, he turned around to see Liu Xianglan with a shocked look on her face, nodding her head repeatedly, with a look of envy in her eyes. She was obviously convinced by Lu Heling's description and deeply believed in it.

Ji Yuanhai was startled for a moment, and then gradually realized, his heart was filled with love and emotion for Lu Heling.

What a blessing it is to have such a good wife!

Next, it will develop just as Era Hai just figured it out.

After Lu Heling talked about how the Great Buddha Temple was efficacious, he gave a few more examples.

There used to be a rich man's daughter who was unlucky. After going to the Great Buddha Temple to seek a magic weapon, things turned around and she lived a happy life. There was also an unlucky scholar who killed her parents at the age of seven and suffered from all kinds of illnesses since childhood. Later, he went to the Great Buddha Temple to obtain a magical weapon. Not only was he admitted to the imperial examination, but he also became a county magistrate.

When talking about these examples, the desire in Liu Xianglan's eyes was almost unconcealed.

"It would be great if the Great Buddha Temple was in our Qingshan County!"

If I could ask for a magic weapon to get rid of the bad luck on my body——

This was Liu Xianglan's subconscious thought.

"Actually, it's okay." Lu Heling said, "Yuan Hai and I went to the Great Buddha Temple before and have already specially requested four magical artifacts!"

He took Ji Yuanhai's hand and showed Liu Xianglan the rosary bracelet on his wrist.

He took out three more bracelets from his luggage, put one on himself, gave one to Wang Xiaohong, and handed one to Liu Xianglan.

"Sister Liu, these four magical instruments are all infused with the incense of the Great Buddha Temple. They are specially recited thousands of times to pray for blessings, ward off evil, eliminate disasters, and bring good fortune in times of adversity. They are the best magical instruments."

"Yuan Hai and I worship sincerely and devoutly, and we finally asked for it."

When Lu Heling said this, he looked towards the Era Sea with a smile.

She did not see how shocked Ji Yuanhai was. Instead, she saw Ji Yuanhai smile at her and nod to Liu Xianglan in cooperation.

This inevitably made Lu Heling feel a little frustrated - she thought Yuan Hai wouldn't be able to guess it this time, but it turned out that he had already guessed it!
Liu Xianglan had always known that Ji Yuanhai was very arrogant, but she never thought that the weak and quiet Lu Heling would say serious words to coax her, so she was convinced when she heard these words.

Although most of what Lu Heling said was true, she actually didn't believe in such things as praying.

But now, in order to make Liu Xianglan believe and overcome the obstacles in her heart, Lu Heling said that she was "convinced" and "confirmed".

Taking the "magic weapon" with trembling palms, Liu Xianglan felt a sigh of relief in her heart for a long time.They all came out all at once.

With it, I don’t have to worry anymore!

I can safely support my children as they grow up, and I can safely interact with Heling.

more--

Liu Xianglan put on her rosary beads and recited Amitabha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then looked at Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling with shyness and joy.

Lu Heling seemed not to see anything. She put her luggage aside, looked at the flower shop, and said with emotion: "Sister Liu, you have worked hard too."

Liu Xianglan said: "What kind of hard work do I have to do? It's much better than when I was in the production team before! It's all because of your care that Xiaohong and I have the good life we ​​have today!" Lu Heling smiled and said two more words In a word, Liu Xianglan said she wanted to give money to Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling both refused immediately.

They can earn back the money by selling two pots of flowers in the provincial capital, but they really don't need it.

It is more meaningful for Liu Xianglan to use the money to continue running the shop and improve her life.

Liu Xianglan couldn't help but wiped away her tears and sobbed - in this way, wouldn't everything in the entire shop be truly and completely given to her?
"By the way," Lu Heling changed the subject in order to prevent Liu Xianglan from crying like this, "Yuan Hai, we don't have much time to come back to celebrate the New Year. We have to go back to Xiaoshantun this afternoon, and we have to go back to the provincial capital on the sixth day of the lunar month. .”

As soon as she heard this, Liu Xianglan stopped crying, and the reluctance in her heart suddenly took over.

"It's only been ten days? You're leaving in more than ten days?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "There are many rich people in the provincial capital. If I go back to buy and sell flowers and plants, I can make another 3000 yuan."

"Staying at home during the Chinese New Year is actually only a few days to freshen up. It doesn't make much sense to stay at home for a long time."

Liu Xianglan thought to herself: After we say goodbye today, will we have to wait until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to see Yuan Hai again?And then we have to wait another half a year?

If so...I...

Lu Heling looked at Wang Xiaohong at this time: "Xiaohong, have you thought about Aunt Heling?"

"I think so! I miss Uncle Yuan Hai too!" Wang Xiaohong said with a smile.

"This kid is so smart and cute! Let's go, Auntie will take you around the county to buy new year's goods! What do you want?" Lu Heling asked.

Wang Xiaohong shook her head, very sensible, and said she didn't want anything.

Lu Heling smiled and said, "Then you go shopping with Auntie."

"Okay!" Wang Xiaohong said.

Lu Heling took Wang Xiaohong's hand and said to Ji Yuanhai and Liu Xianglan: "Yuanhai, help Sister Liu look at the flowers and plants. I'll buy some things for the New Year. We have to buy New Year gifts when we go back to our hometown."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Okay, you go."

Lu Heling took two steps, turned around and said, "By the way, we ate out for lunch today."

After saying that, he led Wang Xiaohong out of the shop and closed the door behind him.

These last words and the closed door made Liu Xianglan feel hot in her heart.

"How have you been in the past six months?" Ji Yuanhai asked her.

Liu Xianglan said: "Didn't I just say that? You have good food and good clothes, but I just don't make enough money for you."

Ji Yuanhai shook his head slightly: "I'm not talking about these, I'm talking about how you are doing."

"It's pretty good too."

As Liu Xianglan spoke, she glanced at Ji Yuanhai secretly. She endured some throbbing in her heart and added: "I just can't see you and He Ling, and I feel quite uncomfortable."

"Oh, do you want me more, or Heling more?"

The door was closed and there was no one else around. Ji Yuanhai and Liu Xianglan spoke much bolder.

Liu Xianglan admitted sheepishly: "I still miss you more."

After speaking, his cheeks lowered.

Although she had already done a lot of things, and even though these words came from her heart, Liu Xianglan couldn't help but her face was burning, and it gradually became hot.

Like this, Ji Yuanhai couldn't help but reached out and pinched her face.

Liu Xianglan glanced around and saw that the shop door was not locked, so she quickly went over to lock the door and closed the curtains without leaving any gaps.

Then he took the initiative to approach Ji Yuanhai and put his arms around his waist.

"Yuan Hai..."

Ji Yuanhai hugged her and kissed her for a while, then asked, "Is there any water?"

"There is also cold water in the thermos pot," Liu Xianglan said.

"Bring the washbasin and soap over here. I'll mix some water and scrub myself." Ji Yuanhai said.

Liu Xianglan understood something, showed an affectionate smile to Ji Yuanhai, nodded and got busy getting ready.

The iron kettle was filled with cold water and placed on the briquette stove.

After mixing the water from the kettle with cold water for a while, Ji Yuanhai took off his clothes and slowly scrubbed away the dust along the way.

Liu Xianglan took the soap and slowly applied a slightly fragrant lather on his body. Feeling the appearance of her beloved with her fingers, her heart was already swaying.

"Yuan Hai, I really miss you."

"I just feel that if one day, you really won't come...my life will be meaningless..."

As she spoke, Liu Xianglan's eyes could not help but gradually filled with tears.

Ji Yuanhai wiped himself off, turned around, bent down, and picked up Liu Xianglan.

The two were close and clinging to each other.

As before, Liu Xianglan served Ji Yuanhai first.

However, what was different from before was that this time Liu Xianglan was not busy cleaning up, but continued to hug Ji Yuanhai.

She looked at Ji Yuanhai's wrist and the magic weapon on her own wrist, and gradually felt relieved.

"It turns out that with the blessing of the Great Buddha Temple's magic weapon, we will be fine, right?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Of course it will be fine."

"Then...will we be fine?" Liu Xianglan asked.

Ji Yuanhai nodded and stared at her.

"Sister Liu, from today on, I will call you Xianglan."

Liu Xianglan was so embarrassed that she turned away: "Yuan Hai, I'm older than you."

Ji Yuanhai reached out and turned her face over.

"Panlan, look at me."

Liu Xianglan looked into his eyes with shame, and felt the hot power pour into her heart from his eyes.

"Yuan Hai...ah!"

...................................................

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Heling came back carrying a lot of things. Even Wang Xiaohong was holding a bunch of candied haws and two kinds of candies.

The windows in the flower shop are wide open, and ventilation is taking place.

The bedding was changed, and Ji Yuanhai also changed his clothes.

Liu Xianglan's face is radiant and her skin is moist, which is indescribably moving.

Seeing this, Lu Heling seemed to know nothing. She put down some of the things she bought and said goodbye to Liu Xianglan and Wang Xiaohong.

There are no buses from Qingshan County to Xiaoshantun. Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling left most of their luggage with Liu Xianglan, brought some changes of clothes, money, and New Year gifts, and rode Liu Xianglan's bicycle along the bumpy road. The yellow mud road returns to Xiaoshantun.

On the way, Ji Yuanhai specially thanked Lu Heling.

Lu Heling was curious and asked about Liu Xianglan's situation.

After Ji Yuanhai described it, Lu Heling was also surprised.

"It seems that only you, Yuan Hai, can bear her... Yuan Hai, are you tired?"

Ji Yuanhai laughed: "I still have the remaining strength."

After hearing this, Lu Heling couldn't help but reach out and pat him: "Why are you like this?"

"If this is the case, aren't both of us enough?"

"Don't force it, just let it happen." Ji Yuanhai said.

Lu Heling reached out and hit him again.

Amidst the bumps of the bicycle, we gradually approached the small mountain village.

In the fields, there were no groups of busy members... The occasional sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling looked at the green winter wheat and the villages composed of adobe houses, and felt many emotions in their hearts for a while.

After half a year...it's back again.

Returned to Ji Yuanhai’s hometown and the place where Lu Heling went to the countryside, Xiaoshantun.
