After the Buddhist sutra reading was over, I opened my eyes and it was already bright. Unknowingly, the three of us fell asleep sitting in the main hall.
It had only been two or three hours, but the whole body was full of energy, as if it had slept well all night. The cow's complexion was obviously much better with the naked eye.
The old monk looked tired and invited us to eat some vegetarian meals in a side room.
"Amitabha, I have recited the mantra of rebirth and sent the wronged spirit to reincarnation. The donors can just find a place to bury the fetus later!"
After we thanked him repeatedly and were about to leave the temple, the old monk stopped us.
"Amitabha, the donor hasn't given me the money for the incense yet. The money for the incense is 100 yuan, and the vegetarian meal is 5 yuan per person. The total is 115 yuan."
"What?" Chujiu shouted in response.
"What? Monk, don't you want to eat or wear clothes?" The old monk changed his face in a second and scolded Chujiu with his eyes wide open.
"In addition, the female donor needs to come to the temple to pray for the wronged soul once a month, for at least three months, and the incense fee is 50 yuan each time."
In the end, we buried the fetal body under a tree not far from the temple. On the way back to school, looking at Chujiu who was cursing and cursing all the way, Nai Niu smiled from ear to ear, and the old charm appeared in her eyebrows again.
When we said goodbye at the school gate, I asked the question that had been on my mind.
"Teacher, what about my credits?"
Cow smiled politely and said softly: "What are the five elements of a career plan?"
"Guo Guo, you've been cursing all the way, Teacher Ding won't deduct your credits!"
Chujiu held a cup of soy milk in her hand and happily gnawed on the sauced pork buns.
The boring life is repeated day after day. Since the beginning of school, it is only this month that I feel like a student, attending classes, finishing classes, eating, sleeping, and playing games.
During this period, Xiaoyu called the school once and told me that the old lady missed me and Chujiu very much. Dai Niu had returned to her former glory, and her class was still full of people. Occasionally she would say hello to me and Chujiu with a smile when she met her on campus.
In order to play games more conveniently, Zhiyong bought a computer in the name of studying. As a result, in the middle of the night, he would always hear inexplicable gasping sounds and the heavy breathing of three men coming from the computer.
At this time, Chujiu and I were sitting on the steps beside the playground, watching the students running hard on the track.
"Guo Guo, you, the first place in the 3,000 meters, are too far ahead. I think the last place still has 10 minutes to go."
The school said that due to weather reasons, this year's autumn sports meeting was postponed ten days compared to previous years. It should normally be at the end of November.
Just like in the military training program, each dormitory must assign a contestant to participate. Just because I was dragged by the ninth graders for morning exercises every day, Zhang Feng and the other three mercilessly pushed me out.
"Aren't you also the first in the high jump? It is said that you broke the school record. Isn't it cold for you to wear short sleeves today?"
In the December weather, Chujiu, who was still wearing short-sleeved shirts, didn't seem to hear me. He was staring at Zhiyong in the auditorium not far away and drooling.
"What are you thinking? You're drooling. Isn't it disgusting?"
I casually slapped Chujiu on the forehead. Chujiu glared at me and said with aggrieved face.
"Brother Zhiyong said that if we won first place, he would invite us to have dinner on the second floor. I was thinking that since we both won first place, can we eat twice?"
"Chujiu, you are really getting smarter and smarter!"
After returning to the dormitory from the second floor of the cafeteria, I took a cold shower and then lay down on the hard bed, recalling the award ceremony of the day's sports meeting in my mind.
The top six in each event will be awarded certificates and a commemorative prize. In addition to a pen and a notebook, in addition to a pen and notebook, a small desk lamp was given to the students for breaking the school high jump record on the ninth day of the ninth grade.
After receiving the prize in the long-distance race, when he was walking off the podium, by coincidence, the cow held the notebook for awarding the next round of prizes and dropped it to the ground.
When I picked it up and handed it to her, she whispered that I should go to her apartment after studying on Friday night. What was the mysterious thing?
After the self-study on Friday night, I made an excuse to ask Zhiyong and the others to go to the Internet cafe to reserve a seat. I would go there a little later. We had made an appointment to play Romance of the Three Kingdoms online on Friday night. We would not give up until we passed the game.
"Hello, uh, Teacher Ding!" I almost blurted out the word "cow" when I knocked on the door of the apartment.
The smile on the cow's face that was about to turn around suddenly froze, and she stared at me fiercely.
"Cow, right? Don't think I don't know what you are calling me behind my back!"
I apologized hurriedly, and the cow pointed at a black bag on the sofa with a cold face.
"Be here on time at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Now please take your things and leave immediately!"
I grabbed the black bag on the sofa, turned around and ran away. The moment I closed the door, I vaguely saw the cow puffing up its chest and a proud smile on its face.
After walking out of the apartment building, I opened the black bag. At the top was a piece of paper with an address in the east of Chongqing. Under the paper were some dark clothes. I couldn't see the specific colors in the dim light.
.
When I returned to the dormitory, I dumped the clothes in the black bag on the bed. Unexpectedly, there were two pairs of white sneakers under the clothes. No wonder I needed such a big bag.
After some research, I found out that the clothes were Li-Ning brand sportswear. I recognized this trademark because Zhiyong owns a set of such clothes. He treats them like a treasure and only wears them when he goes out on the street. According to him, a set of clothes
It costs more than a hundred dollars.
Sneakers are also a very popular brand in schools at the moment. Every night you can hear the advertisement on Zhiyong’s radio, “Be down-to-earth and move toward excellence.”
The navy blue sportswear was obviously smaller in size, plus a pair of sneakers that were also smaller. I instantly understood what the cow meant.
Chujiu was holding on to his sports clothes and sneakers and was reluctant to let them go. He kept saying thank you to Guo Guo, saying that the clothes for next semester were also washed for me. I refrained from telling him that the clothes were actually given to him by cows.
When Chujiu was dragged to the Internet cafe, Zhiyong and the other three were playing passionately. Their voices could be heard throughout the Internet cafe.
"Huang Zhong, shoot arrows, shoot rockets! Are you a pig? Don't you know how to hide from Li Dian?"
"Zhao Yun, why are you beating Li Dian? Why are you beating the soldiers? Use stunts! Use stunts!"
"Where's Zhang Fei? Where's Zhang Fei? There's a steamed bun here, holy shit, Zhang Fei is dead!"
After Liu Yang's Zhang Fei prompted "Game Over", he found Chujiu and I standing behind him.
"Why did Fengzi come here? If you had been here just now, you would have passed the first level! On the ninth day of the lunar month, you first stand back and watch how your brothers play!"
"Boss, boss, turn on the machine No. 4, we'll cover the night! Pay for the machine No. 1!"
