Li Wei changed her clothes, and Wang Yulan came over and said she would go to the temple fair with her. Li Wei did not refuse Wang Yulan's kindness.
Not far from the door, Li Xia also came.
Li Wei took a careful look and saw that Li Xia was wearing brand new clothes today, a goose-yellow short coat and a pair of green trousers. Her long hair was tied up on top of her head, looking energetic.
Li Wei was a little puzzled, wondering why a woman could wear her hair in a bun instead of braids
Wang Yulan touched Li Xia's coat and said with envy: "The clothes Sister Xia wears are called down jackets. They are so beautiful."
Li Xia laughed and said, "You know what you're selling. It's not filled with cotton, it's filled with feathers. It's light and warm. It's just that sometimes feathers come out."
"Isn't such a piece of clothing expensive?"
Li Xia smiled and said, "A hundred dollars is not that expensive."
Wang Yulan even looked envious. Only Li Wei was thinking that Zhang Weihong really loved his daughter. Even if the family had to borrow foreign debt, he didn't feel bad at all buying new clothes for his daughter. Unlike Liu Chunzhi, she seems a bit stingy. The three siblings only bought new clothes for Li Jianbo, while she and her eldest brother still wore old clothes.
Cijue Temple in Yongning Town is famous far and near, and its incense has always been strong. Especially on the first day of the first lunar month every year, many pilgrims come to offer incense.
By the time they arrived at the temple, it was already crowded and seemed a bit crowded.
When I was a child, I accompanied my mother and others when we went out to offer incense, but the place had to be cleared. This was the first time we encountered such a crowded scene.
The three of them finally squeezed into the main hall, and three girls of similar ages knelt down to the Bodhisattva devoutly. It's just that Li Wei's wish is different from others. What she wishes is that the Bodhisattva will bless the country of Qi forever.
Li Xia threw a dollar into the merit box, Li Wei had no savings and only lost two cents, and Wang Yulan threw away one cent. It doesn't matter how much, it's just a thought.
Walking out of the main hall is the backyard, where a stage is being built. It looks like a play will be performed soon, but Li Xia and Wang Yulan have no interest in watching the play.
Li Xia pulled Li Wei and said, "Let's go buy food."
Li Wei wanted to say that she was not hungry, but she was afraid that she would not be able to find the way back, so she followed them closely.
Most of the food in the temple is simple and crude. The advantage is that it is not expensive. Whether it's cold noodles, jelly noodles, or glutinous rice balls, a big bowl costs 50 cents.
The weather was cold, and Li Wei didn't dare to eat cold food, so she ordered a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls. The taste was really not good, not even as good as Liu Chunzhi's. She ate four and couldn't swallow any more.
The temple is not very big and it only takes less than half an hour to finish visiting. When the three of them came out of the back hall, Li Xia suggested going hiking, and the other two had no objection.
Fortunately, the mountain was not high, but Li Wei lacked physical strength. By the time she climbed to the top of the mountain, she was out of breath and wanted to find a place to sit down for a while.
There are a lot of people on the mountain. There is no wind today. It is even a little cold and some children come to the mountain to fly kites. After turning around, Li Wei saw Li Jianbo standing under the tree over there, but Li Jianping was not there.
Li Jianbo waved to them, and Li Xia waved back. Li Jianbo came over quickly: "You also walked too fast, and you disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"You said we were faster, why didn't you go up the mountain earlier than me?" Li Xia grinned.
Li Jianbo then said: "Sister, come here, I have something to tell you."
Li Xia was a little surprised and wondered what Jian Bo could say to her, so she turned to Li Wei and said, "Wait for me."
Li Wei nodded in agreement.
Li Jianbo turned around a forest and reached a big rock. Then he turned to Li Xia and said, "Sister, please sit down first."
What is this guy going to say to her? Seemingly quite serious, Li Xia couldn't help but murmur in her heart. She took out a handkerchief from her purse and put it on the stone before sitting down.
As soon as she sat down, Li Jianbo asked bluntly: "Sister, are you going to the city on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?"
Li Xia thought to herself: Why did Li Wei tell Jian Bo so soon? She didn't deny it, so her mother knew about it and didn't object to her, so she nodded and said, "Yes, I still want Weiwei to accompany me, but she seems unwilling."
"Why did you bring Weiwei with you to see Sun Li?"
Li Xia's expression changed instantly when she heard the name. She looked at Li Jianbo in confusion for a while before she realized what she was doing and asked, "How do you know about Sun Li? Who told you?"
"You don't care who told me, I just knew it anyway. Do you want to fly away with him?"
Li Jianbo's casual words made Li Xia's heart beat wildly. How did he know? That was a secret that she and Sun Li had planned for a long time. How did he know about it
"Do you know Sun Li?"
Li Jianbo didn't know Sun Li, but he knew that this eldest cousin's life was ruined by this person named Sun. He nodded and agreed: "Yes, I recognize him."
Li Xia seemed a little scared. She stood up, turned around and wanted to leave. But Li Jianbo blocked Li Xia's way: "Sister, you can't go with him, that Sun Li is unreliable. You are still young and cannot be ruined by such a man for the rest of your life."
Li Xia suddenly blushed with embarrassment. She took advantage of her superiority to Li Jianbo and yelled at Li Jianbo unceremoniously: "What do you know and why are you meddling in my affairs? Just read your book honestly."
"Because I call you sister, I kindly advise you." Li Jianbo was sincere.
"What are you going to do, tell my parents?"
"I haven't said it yet." Li Jianbo confessed.
"A dog takes a rat! It's not your turn to preach." Li Xia walked away angrily.
Li Jianbo tried to persuade him with good intentions, but Li Xia couldn't listen to a word he said. He was helpless.
When Li Xia came out, she saw that Li Wei and Wang Yulan were still waiting for her, but she was in no mood and ignored them. She turned around and walked down the mountain with a dark face.
Li Xia behaves strangely. Did Li Jianbo say something to her? Li Wei turned her head and glanced at Li Jianbo who came out from behind. She asked, "Are you guys arguing?"
"I'm probably minding my own business, but Weiwei, no matter what the eldest sister tells you in the future, don't believe her, especially if she wants to ask you to borrow money or ask you to go somewhere with her, don't believe it."
Li Wei looked at his second brother in surprise, wondering if there was something wrong with Li Xia
Although we are in separate rooms, we are still members of the same family, so what can happen to them
"Second brother, is there something wrong with eldest sister?"
"Who knows, now that she is so focused on getting in, she won't be able to listen no matter what others say." Li Jianbo felt that he had fulfilled his responsibility, and he had no control over which direction things would develop.
Soon it was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and there was only one day left before Li Xia's plan. However, at noon that day, her mother suddenly came to Li Xia and said, "You are not allowed to go anywhere tomorrow."
Li Xia's heart skipped a beat, knowing that it was Li Jianbo who had told the secret. She had already cursed Li Jianbo hundreds of times in her heart. The two had a falling out because of this matter.
