However, that would be too much of a delay. If this continues, are you asking me to stay here permanently?
I'm not happy. Although the Four Seasons Courtyard is good and the scenery is pleasant, it is not my own home after all, and I feel uncomfortable staying here.
Another method is to collect all the information that can be collected at once, and then I pack it up and bring it back to City A, and then contact them on the Internet.
Now that the Internet is so developed, face-to-face service is completely unnecessary for positions like ours.
After making up my mind, I was thinking about how to "say goodbye"?
The words were a bit hurtful, Yun Che ignored me all day!
I thought that if this was the case, then I should withdraw.
Since it is a purely cooperative relationship, how can I live in someone else's home?
If I am a friend from afar, they are happy to receive me for a night or two, and so am I.
However, if it takes a long time, it will not be good.
If the host doesn't tell me, I, the guest, will have to be self-conscious.
I just feel like there are some things that I haven't figured out yet, now that I have the opportunity to be here and be so close to this family.
Then it is better to develop friendships. For one thing, connections themselves are important. Being lucky enough to meet such a family is a rare opportunity for ordinary people.
Secondly, they treat me with courtesy. If I am too polite, I will make them feel uncomfortable.
So, after dinner, I took the initiative to accompany Mrs. Yun for a walk.
Mrs. Yun paid homage to the Buddha, so I did some special homework.
Under the pretext of asking for Buddhist advice, I talked to Mrs. Yun alone.
She said: "Today's young people are not interested in Buddhism. I never thought that a girl as young as you would ask me questions about Buddhism?"
I said: "Buddha's Dharma is boundless and can last a lifetime. I have experienced life and death. Naturally, some things in this world should be looked down upon.
I yearn for the Buddhist Dharma that allows people to calm their mind and enlighten their mind. Unfortunately, I am young after all and have not yet started, and I only know a little bit about it."
Mrs. Yun asked curiously: "Oh? Then you should tell me carefully what life and death you have experienced?"
If I just wanted to please you, I would endure the pain and talk about my scars.
Speaking of the death of my parents when I was young, Mrs. Yun sighed after hearing this: "Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth is in heaven, and no matter how great wealth is, it can't offset an accident.
Nowadays, young people only care about what excitement they have. Jumping, what is jumping? They tie a rope to their body and jump from a high platform, but they are not afraid."
I explained: "Bungee jumping..."
"Yes, that's it. Our Yunduo likes these things. I taught him a lesson several times and he doesn't dare to do it anymore.
It is said to be safe, but who knows when it will become unsafe? After all, it is good not to touch it. It is said in Buddhism that if it is dangerous, avoid it.
Fortunately, your parents were able to leave you a fortune, which allowed you to have enough food and clothing, and you also had a few caring friends who could take care of their children for them.
Otherwise, everyone will be uneasy under the Nine Springs, and I would like to recite a rebirth mantra for them."
I said: "Thank you for taking the trouble."
Walking into the confines of her Buddhist temple, I felt that the atmosphere had changed. The leafy ginkgo trees in the yard made the houses look small.
I could vaguely smell the scent of sandalwood, and there was a large incense burner in the courtyard, probably for burning scriptures and incense.
I asked for advice: "If you are praying for someone who made mistakes during your lifetime, you don't know what sutra to recite?"
"Of course it's the 'Repentance'."
I helped her into her Buddhist hall, where there was a half-human golden body of the Buddha and various small colored carvings of Bodhisattvas.
For example, the Eighteen Arhats, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Dragon King, etc. are arranged on both sides in an orderly manner.
There is a futon on which she meditates in the middle. Looking at this posture, she is indeed a person who is truly devoted to the Buddha.
She asked curiously: "Who made the mistake during his lifetime?"
I said, "It's my uncle... Kun didn't have the guidance of his parents, and he was free and easy by nature. Therefore, he went astray and ended up dying an unexpected death."
She regretted and said: "It's sad, it's deplorable."
She said enthusiastically: "Give me your uncle's birth date and I will read a few scriptures for him to be saved."
I gave it to her obediently, and by the way, I also read a paragraph with her.
She knew that her approach would not be admired by young people, so her three daughters would not have the patience to accompany her in chanting sutras and praying to the Buddha.
Even if he stays with her, it is only out of filial piety or flattery.
Therefore, seeing that I sincerely accompany her, I also approve and appreciate her "unparalleled" style.
After I got a little closer, we chatted about home affairs, and she started talking to me about things from her youth.
“When I was young, I was pregnant with a baby, but then something happened and the baby was aborted.
Several years later, the doctor's physical examination found no problems, but I still couldn't get pregnant.
So the elders of the previous generation asked me to adopt a daughter as a younger brother, so we adopted Yunwu.
Less than two months later, I became pregnant. I felt that this was a blessing from God, so in return, I adopted Yunlu from the orphanage.
My belly was getting bigger and bigger, and the whole family was happy. Unfortunately, unexpectedly, I was stillborn when I was seven months pregnant.
After a lot of effort, I gave birth to a stillborn fetus, and my body was also necrotic. The doctor said I might not be able to give birth.
Therefore, I have never been able to have children in my life. From then on, I humbly worshiped the Buddha and paid no attention to worldly affairs. I only devoted myself to teaching my two daughters at home.
When they grew up and went to boarding schools to study, I felt lonely again, so I adopted Yunduo again.
Over the years, thanks to their support, I have not given up on life and can live a long life in this Four Seasons Courtyard."
Calculating their ages, Mr. Yun and Mrs. Yun are both almost seventy years old. Yunwu Yunlu is only a few months apart in age. They are both thirty-five years old this year.
I would say they are quite young, but they seem to have been married for many years, but none of them have children?
