Chapter 286 Seeking Buddha
Zheng Yi did not doubt her mother's answer, but followed her mother's words and said:
"Uncle Zhu, you don't have to accommodate my mother. You can tell me what you want to eat. We can eat separately."
snort!
Hearing what her daughter said, Zheng's mother looked unhappy. She didn't even know that this was her father, but she was helping him like this. No wonder everyone said that her daughter was her father's little lover in the previous life.
Seeing Mother Zheng's dark face, Father Zhu said quickly:
"I'm not picky. I eat everything. I'll eat whatever you guys eat. Don't worry about me!"
After saying that, Zhu's father looked around but didn't see his son Zhu Kai.
Because Zhu Kai had fainted the day before, the middle-aged man became anxious because he could not find any trace of him.
"Where's Zhu Kai? Have you seen him?"
Zheng's mother also became anxious, as she didn't see Zhu Kai either.
Zheng Yi looked at the two frightened parents and said with a smile:
"He's behind that big tree, looking for tourist attractions nearby."
"oh oh!"
"Oh……"
They both answered at the same time.
Zheng Yi turned around and walked ahead, with the two following behind.
Mother Zheng whispered to Father Zhu, "Let's start our action tomorrow. Today... let's have fun today!"
The middle-aged woman's face was filled with sadness and determination. Father Zhu was also moved by her and agreed:
"Okay, everything is up to you."
The three of them walked behind the big tree and saw Zhu Kai sitting on the bench in front of the tree.
Seeing the three people coming over, Zhu Kai said with a smile:
"Zheng Yi, haven't you wanted to go to Lingxi Temple for a long time? Why don't we go to Lingxi Temple?"
Lingxi Temple...rumor has it that it is the most effective temple for finding love in Hangzhou.
Zheng Yi wanted to go to this place before because she wanted the Buddha to bless her and Zhu Kai's relationship to last forever.
But after getting along with Zhu Kai, she became extremely confident in their relationship, so confident that she believed they could go to the end without the blessing of the gods.
So she only mentioned it a few times when they first started dating, and never mentioned it again after that.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Kai still remembered it in his heart. Zheng Yi felt warm in her heart and said happily:
"Okay!"
Seeing their daughter so happy, the two parents also expressed their approval.
Since it was a weekday, there were not many people in the temple.
Except for Lingxi Temple, Zheng Yi asked Zhu Kai to wait outside every temple from the foot of the mountain to the top, while she prayed alone inside.
The two parents were originally working with Zheng Yi, but later they couldn't take it anymore, so they also waited outside the temple with Zhu Kai.
When she reached the top, Zheng Yi's back was soaked and the girl couldn't help but shiver.
Zhu Kai took off his coat and put it on his girlfriend:
"I didn't expect you to be so devout. Look how tired you are, sweating all over."
Zheng Yi turned her head to look at the man and smiled sweetly:
"Sincerity is the key to success. If only one of the gods and Buddhas in the sky can hear my voice, my wish will be fulfilled."
After saying that, he turned his gaze towards the foot of the mountain. The green leaves of the trees on the mountain were shining brightly under the sunlight.
"Daughter, I see people writing on banners over there. They're hanging them on the sacred tree. Should we go and write some too?"
Father Zhu also looked over curiously, eager to try it out.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yi refused outright:
"No, I've already visited all the Buddha statues on the mountain. I don't need to pass by the sacred tree to convey my wish to the heavens."
Mother Zheng was stunned. Was it because they were in the temple? Her daughter was also talking in a mysterious way...
But since her daughter said she didn't want to go, she wouldn't go either.
Zhu Kai didn't say he would go or not, but pulled his father to the other side.
"I'm a little thirsty. Dad, come with me to buy some water."
"Okay, then my mom and I are going to the bathroom."
In the blink of an eye, Zheng's mother and Zhu's father were called away by their daughter and son respectively, both of them with confused expressions on their faces.
On the way back, everyone was a little tired, and Zheng Yi leaned her head against the car window and fell asleep.
When the light turned red, Zhu Kai gently stroked his girlfriend's sleeping pink cheek with his hand, looked at the twinkling car lights in front of him, and hoped that this road home would never reach his destination.
It was already late when she got home. As soon as Mother Zheng entered the house, she went straight to the kitchen and shouted loudly:
"Don't order takeout!"
"I prepared all the food before I left home this morning. Give me half an hour and we can eat!"
As soon as Mr. Zhu stepped in, he was driven out by Mrs. Zheng.
"Don't come in, not only can you not help, but you also slow down my cooking."
Father Zhu smiled awkwardly.
Zheng Yi and Zhu Kai looked at each other, pursed their lips and fled to the living room.
Zhu Kai took out the snacks from home, but was scolded by his father:
"It's almost time for dinner, why are you eating snacks?"
"Hahahaha!" Zheng Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The Zhu family father and son looked at her at the same time, their faces full of questions.
Zheng Yi continued to laugh for a while before stopping and explaining:
"Sorry! I really couldn't help it... Uncle Zhu's tone just now was so similar to my mom's, and the words he said were exactly the same!"
Father Zhu blushed, touched the back of his head and said:
"I'm talking to Zhu Kai... Zheng Yi, eat whatever you want, hehe."
Zhu Kai on the side raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically:
“Why are we still being treated differently?”
Zheng Yi glared at her boyfriend, then put the snacks back in the drawer, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. Familiar music sounded on the TV, and the children's channel was playing the cartoon "Journey to the West". The three adults were watching it with great interest.
After watching for about 40 minutes, Zheng's mother's voice came from the kitchen.
"It's time to eat! Turn off the TV!"
Father Zhu quickly snatched the remote control from Zheng Yi and pressed the red switch button.
Zheng Yi curled her lips, looked at Zhu Kai with a smile, then got up and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
When all the dishes were served on the table, except for Zheng's mother, the other three opened their mouths wide with looks of surprise.
After being shocked, Mr. Zhu's face broke into a big smile.
"Amazing! You've cooked so many dishes in such a short time!" He gave Zheng's mother a thumbs up after saying that.
"Yeah! Mom is awesome!"
"Yeah! Aunt Zheng is amazing!"
Zheng Yi and Zhu Kai said in unison.
When Zheng's mother heard this, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes showed signs of smiling. She picked up a piece of meat from the fish belly with chopsticks and put it into Zhu Kai's bowl.
Father Zhu looked at the boiled chicken, salted duck, braised pork trotters, beef brisket stewed with potatoes, spicy red gauze fish fillets, and several seasonal stir-fried vegetables on the table, and for a moment he didn't know how to start.
Zheng Yi caught a glimpse of Zhu's father's hesitation, and imitating her mother's behavior, she also used chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat from the fish belly and put it into the other's bowl.
Father Zhu looked at the fish in the bowl and fed it into his mouth with a smile, but as soon as he ate it, the man burst into tears.
