Chapter 123 Pure Land Temple
A small temple called Jingtu Temple is located not far from Lexian County. It is not a big temple. Twelve or 3 years ago, there was only a small temple with four stone statues of mud fences as walls.
With the development of China's economy, people, especially the old men and grandmas, had some money in their hands. After finding some other donations, they built a new temple hall and built a canteen dedicated to cooking at temple fairs. Two years ago, the temple began to invite people to perform during the New Year, which attracted the young people from the nearby production team.
Otherwise, the only people who come here will be the elderly.
The temple fair during the Spring Festival is also a rural cultural construction project!
“Today is quite lively!”
It is definitely not possible to drive. The road here is a mechanized farming road. I used to come to tractors! As for building cement roads, it will take a few years to wait.
To be honest, the financial situation in Le County is not very good now.
Two years ago, I just confirmed that Le County should take the path of industrially strong county, and there are only a few enterprises and factories in Le County.
In the past, Le County was completely an agricultural county.
In addition to the old men and women, there were also many young people who followed them along.
"For the Chinese New Year, everyone outside is back!"
During the Chinese New Year, everyone dressed beautifully, and from time to time, they could see several young and beautiful girls passing by.
Of course, Liu Yi and his group are also quite attractive.
"Go to buy some paper to pay homage to the Bodhisattva!" Liu Xiaomei pulled Liu Yi and pointed to a stall selling sacrifices on the side of the road.
It seems that the old lady is surrounding the waist of the Pure Land Temple, which should be sold here by the Pure Land Temple.
When I walked here, the whole air was already filled with a faint sandalwood.
"Then I'll buy it!"
Liu Yi bought fire paper and incense candles at the stall, and there were even cannons at the stall. It was a non-dangerous firecracker for children to play with. It would be a firecracker that was directly used in his hand and would not be dangerous.
Of course, Liu Yi has never done this, he has seen someone do this.
Liu Yi bought five boxes to play with, and he has not played with this thing since high school.
In the past, I liked the most to play in the dry field, using a stick to insert a hole, then put the cannon into the hole, and directly blow a round hole.
Or put it on cow dung, okay, what did you think at that time? It was actually going to fry cow dung and play with it.
However, when I saw shit splattering around, I was quite excited.
During the Chinese New Year, there is a sound that is most often heard. It can still be heard from waking up in the morning until one or two o'clock in the morning.
That's the sound of fireworks and firecrackers.
One of the five children had a lit incense on their hands, and they were lit with small cannons from time to time and then threw them out.
Then the sound of firecrackers rang out.
There are many stone carvings on the road, burning paper, inserting a stick of incense, lighting two candles, and making three bows.
Although I don’t know whether the gods, ghosts, immortals and Buddhas are carved on these stone carvings, what does this matter? Anyway, the Chinese people always use the gods and Buddhas in the heavens to worship them immediately, and it’s not surprising that there is too much etiquette, right?
In front of the temple, there is also a statue of god built separately. From the eyes of its forehead, it is easy for people to know who it belongs to!
By the way, the situation of immortals and Buddhas in the same temple is really quite common!
When I walked to the temple, the opera had already begun.
Whether sitting or standing, everyone was watching the performance on the simple stage.
It is obvious that Li Qiuyun and the others are much more interested in watching operas, but Liu Yi lacks interest. After watching for a few minutes, he left Tang Qiuer.
The Pure Land Temple does not cover a large area, which is just one or two acres of land. Don’t think that one or two acres of land is quite large, but it is only more than one thousand square meters.
There are three temples, two of which are obviously not long before they were built. Liu Yi can be said to have been built because he remembered that he was following his grandmother to move bricks on the temple.
Well, it was too small at that time and I had a little unclear memory.
"The name of my grandmother Yang Yunzhen is on it!"
He pointed to the plaque on the hall, which was engraved with the name of the person who donated the temple to build the temple, and Grandma Liu Yi's name was listed.
Tang Qiuer found the name in the middle of the plaque and said, "Why don't we donate some money now?"
"But, I didn't bring my wallet!"
Tang Qiuer took out her pink wallet from her pocket and shook it, indicating that she had brought it!
“How much donation?”
After looking at the money in Tang Qiuer's wallet, Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "Five hundred is just a thought!"
He was really reluctant to let Liu Yi donate thousands of dollars to build a temple or something.
At home, besides grandma, even the eldest father believes in these things. In fact, Liu Yi is not sure whether they believe it or not. Like most Chinese people, there are conditions for believing in gods and Buddhas. Gods and Buddhas must bless themselves and their families.
Liu Yi and Tang Qiuer were walking around the temple. Of course, even if they didn't believe it, they still bowed in a regular manner.
Even if you don’t believe it, you have to respect others, right?
The three temples are not big, so it will be over after two minutes when you go in and out.
The two of them went to buy meal tickets, which allowed them to eat vegetarian food in the cafeteria; however, the time for vegetarian food at noon has arrived.
"These little guys actually got some food at this time!"
Liu Rongrong and He Yuan were sitting together with three little guys, eating cold noodles and hot and sour noodles.
"I want to eat too!" Tang Qiuer swallowed a little, it looked really good.
It smells quite delicious.
Liu Yi: "Then let's eat it!"
"Uncle, you eat it!" Shen Yitong pushed a bowl of cold noodles in front of Liu Yi, and stared at Liu Yiming with big eyes.
After looking at the cold noodles that Shen Yitong had eaten a few bites, Liu Yi didn't mind.
The child's saliva is clean!
"You don't eat anymore!"
"I want to eat that!" Shen Yitong pointed to the jelly on the stall. If jelly is, it is the most delicious thing to make with peas.
Pea jelly, the white one, looks very good.
"Boss, this is a bowl of jelly!"
"If you want it, come right away!"
The boss is for the woman, and I was very happy to see Liu Yi’s table. Only a few children have consumed a lot of money here.
Buy drinks, eat cold noodles, cold skin, and jelly with hot and sour noodles. This is not to say one bowl for each person, but two bowls for each person.
Fortunately, her family sells small bowls, but if they are big, they will never be able to finish them.
