Rebirth starts with small money

The Lingguan Temple in Erlong Town is located on the hillside of Wangjiashan.

In the early years, it fell to the point that there was almost only one main hall left. Later, it was designated as a cultural relic protection unit and then underwent a reconstruction.

But Erlong Town was poor at that time~ how could there be any extra funds to rebuild the Lingguan Temple?

So even the reconstructed Lingguan Temple is actually a very small place.

However, the incense of Lingguan Temple became stronger year by year due to various reasons, so it was rebuilt again in the early 90s.

Of course~ Even after two renovations, the Lingguan Temple is actually very small.

After all, the so-called exuberant incense in Lingguan Temple is only for a small place like Erlong Town.

Compared with those big jungles and temples, Lingguan Temple is nothing at all.

However~ the existence of the Lingguan Temple has given some people in Erlong Town a place of comfort these days.

Hmm~ Well, I'm talking about those who are superstitious in Chen Li's opinion.

In fact, many people of the older generation~ most of them have such a little bit of superstition.

For example~ his grandmother~ even his aunt.

Chen Li's mother used to be superstitious for a while, especially when Chen Li was in elementary school, she often fell ill for a while, and Chen Li's mother even invited a fairy aunt to give Chen Li orders.

Then the fairy girl pinched her fingers and calculated for a long time, and said a lot of things that ordinary people could not understand.

Then ~ took Chen Li's two sets of clothes and the 20 yuan prepared by Chen Li's mother, and before leaving, he gave Chen Li a bag of rice wrapped in yellow paper that was said to be blessed.

Hmm~ It's the kind of very common rice. The fairy girl told Chen Li to eat five grains three times a day.

Eat it raw!
But how can such a method be useful?Chen Li still gets sick from time to time.

Later, Chen Guofu, who was still a soldier, couldn't see it anymore, so Chen Guofu began to supervise Chen Li's physical exercise every day, running~standing in a military posture~walking forward, and taking Chen Li to the middle school next to him to play basketball when he was done.

Then Chen Li will not be sick anymore.

To put it bluntly, Chen Li's physical fitness was not very good when he was a child, and his resistance was weak. However, under the supervision of his old man, Chen Li improved his physical fitness through long-term exercise, and naturally he did not get sick.

It was because of this incident that Chen Li's mother no longer believed in those so-called fairies.

But even so ~ every Spring Festival ~ Ms. Wang will still take the whole family to the Lingguan Temple to burn incense, so that the whole family will be safe in the coming year.

But this is not a feudal superstition~ it is a traditional custom, or it is just a kind of good wishes.

Well~ It's almost like welcoming the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!

In fact~ until now, except for those of the older generation who still have some superstitions, the vast majority of people who go to the Lingguan Temple to burn incense are like this.

After all, the times are advancing~ everyone's demand for praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is not so great anymore.

In the eyes of Chen Li's parents, going to Lingguan Temple to burn incense is a serious event in the first month.

But in the eyes of the vast majority of Chen Li's generation ~ going to Lingguan Temple is more like a game.

Many young people~during the Spring Festival, they even meet up to visit the Lingguan Temple.

Although the Lingguan Temple is not big~ but it is very lively during the Spring Festival every year.

Not to mention anything else~ Just say that the long stretch of various food stalls here is worth a visit for people from Erlong Town during the Spring Festival.

In the previous life ~ Wangjiashan was finally designated as a forest park, and this Lingguan Temple has also become one of the scenic spots.

Afterwards, the government of Erlong Town took advantage of the trend and held corresponding temple fairs near the Lingguan Temple during the Spring Festival every year.

This was also the only activity in Erlong Town with a strong New Year flavor at that time.

Of course~ Erlong Town held this temple fair at that time~ not just for the taste of the year, but for making money.

At that time, the road from the foot of Wangjiashan to Lingguan Temple~ would be divided by the government into countless stalls, and then these stalls would be rented out to those vendors at high prices.

And those street vendors ~ in order to earn back the rent ~ naturally need to share this cost with those customers.

So~ the reputation of the temple fair in Erlong Town in the previous life was not very good.

But~ there were many tourists in Erlong Town at that time, and this temple fair was actually mainly aimed at those tourists.

As for the locals in Erlong Town, they basically don't spend money at temple fairs.

Because it's so expensive!
But in 2000, Wangjiashan hadn't been developed yet~Erlong Town didn't have any so-called tourists at all.

So ~ at this time, on the road from the foot of Wangjiashan Mountain to Lingguan Temple, you can see vendors who come to set up stalls everywhere, and the most important thing is that they are of good quality and low price.

This is actually one of the reasons why people in Erlong Town are willing to go to Lingguan Temple to burn incense. Even if they don't go to burn incense, simply bringing their children here to enjoy various snacks and delicacies is a very good feeling.

Just like Chen Xue and Chen Tingting at this moment, their actions at this moment are extremely similar.

Both of them are holding a pot helmet in their left hands, but what is filled here is not jelly, but stewed pork.

This kind of pot helmet with stewed pork ~ if it is normal ~ it is [-] cents more expensive than the one with jelly.

But now it's the Spring Festival~ so this stewed pork pot helmet is sold for two yuan each.

However, this kind of increase is still acceptable to most people.

In their right hands, both held a sugar painting and a candied haws.

The sugar painting in Chen Xue's hand is a monkey, while Chen Tingting's sugar painting is a naive little pig.

In fact, the two really wanted the biggest dragon and phoenix~ But Tang Hua needed to turn the wooden stick, unfortunately, they didn't have such good luck.

Liu Qingqing and Zhou Ling also held a candied haws in their hands, but they didn't eat the braised pork pot helmet.

After all, it was not long before breakfast, and not everyone had the same appetite as Chen Xue and Chen Tingting.

But~ there is an exception in the crowd, and that is Chen Li.

At this moment, Chen Li was holding a plastic bag in his left hand, and there were three whole pot helmets and two sticks of candied haws in the pocket~ and his right hand was holding a half-eaten pot helmet with jelly.

There's no way~ He didn't eat breakfast. Originally, there was food left for him at home, but after learning that he was going to burn incense in the Lingguan Temple, Chen Li gave up his plan to have breakfast at home.

Because he knows ~ every year at this time ~ Zhang Guokui from Jiulong Town next door will come to Lingguan Temple to set up a stall.

Zhang Guokui~ can be regarded as a well-known master of Guokui in the neighborhood, and can even be said to be the king of Guokui.

At least half of the pot helmet sellers in Huilong County are apprentices brought out by him.

Even in other counties or districts in Nancheng, there are many pot helmet sellers who are also students taught by him.

It's a pity that although these students have also learned how to play Guokui~ but few of them can learn his true biography.

Just talking about the taste of pot knuckles~ the pot knuckles made by Zhang Guokui are the most authentic.

In the previous life, every time Chen Li went home~ he would definitely eat a few Zhang Guokui’s Guokui, but unfortunately Chen Li didn’t eat it a few times~ Later Zhang Guokui gave the sign of Zhang Guokui to his son because of his health.

Then there is no more.

Although Zhang Guokui's reputation is still so loud~ but the taste is no longer the original taste.

"Water~!"

But~ Guokui is relatively dry, and a Guokui will eat~ Chen Li feels a little thirsty.

Liu Qingqing gave her boyfriend a supercilious look~ but she still unscrewed the thermos that she brought from Chen's house.

Hmm~ It's not unusual for a girlfriend to twist the lid of a pot for a boyfriend these days.

After taking two sips of the strong tea that he had brewed at home, Chen Li took out another stewed pork pot helmet from his pocket.

With Chen Li's current appetite, it is naturally impossible to fill his stomach with a pot of jelly.

Looking at her boyfriend's devouring appearance, Liu Qingqing was a little helpless at first~ but in the end she laughed inexplicably.

"What are you laughing at?"

Chen Li was baffled by Liu Qingqing's laughter, he looked at Liu Qingqing and wanted to wait for an answer.

But~ Liu Qingqing didn't answer him, but took out a pack of heart-to-heart tissues from her pocket, took out one, and helped Chen Li wipe off the chili oil that accidentally got on his mouth.

Chen Li didn't get the answer~ and didn't bother to continue asking, and instead concentrated on dealing with the stewed pork pot helmet in his hand.

And Liu Qingqing on the side also restrained her previous laughter at this moment, and just looked at her boyfriend with a smile on her face.

No matter how she looks at it~ it's hard to imagine that this guy who is holding a pot helmet and devouring it~ is actually a young rich man with a net worth of over [-] million.

Liu Qingqing thought of this Spring Festival period~every time the family members mentioned Chen Li~they would always have a surprised~shocked attitude. Thinking of this, Liu Qingqing felt a little like laughing.

This kind of smile~ is not a laugh of teasing, but a proud smile~ a proud smile.

My boyfriend has been unanimously approved by my family~ even their approval of Chen Li is so high that they think whether Liu Qingqing is worthy of Chen Li.

Thinking of this ~ the smile on Liu Qingqing's face stopped abruptly, it is obvious ~ the worries of her family also exist in her.

In the eyes of outsiders~ she, Liu Qingqing, was once the number one student in the city's college entrance examination, and a female literary star!
But in fact~ the relatively precocious Liu Qingqing is very aware of the gap between herself and Chen Li.

Every year in the college entrance examination ~ there will be hundreds of city champions and dozens of provincial champions across the country.

But a freak like Chen Li~ In the words of his teacher, it may not be possible to produce one in decades.

In one year, Chen Li not only mastered the undergraduate knowledge of German and English, but even greatly exceeded the knowledge that undergraduates of these two majors should master.

Not only that~ Chen Li even mastered French proficiently, and it is said that his mastery is far higher than that of senior graduates of related majors.

Of course~ if it's just learning, that's all. After all, such a learning genius. In fact, one or two will emerge from time to time.

But Chen Li's performance in the society shocked many people's jaws.

After all~ the vast majority of academically gifted geniuses often don't fare so well at the social level.

The reason is also very simple, because such geniuses often put their energy on their studies, and naturally it is impossible to perform well in other aspects.

But Chen Li is obviously different~ His talent in learning is already terrifying, but his performance on the social level is equally impressive!

In just one and a half years~ Chen Li's wealth has grown rapidly at an exaggerated and even outrageous rate.

But such a person, at this moment, is holding a pot helmet and devouring it, and even has a lot of red oil on his face.

This obvious gap comparison~ makes Liu Qingqing want to laugh~ but also a little worried.

As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder~ Although Chen Li is not a beauty, in Liu Qingqing's eyes~ Chen Li has almost no shortcomings.

It is precisely because of this reason that Liu Qingqing always has such a little worry in her heart.

Of course ~ From the current point of view, Liu Qingqing's worry is not serious!
In fact, she even forgot about this for a while before, but the clue that Zhou Xiaoli leaked out when she went abroad reminded her of this matter again.

In fact, it is very normal for Liu Qingqing to have such worries~ After all, today's Chen Li has long been a favorite in the eyes of countless people.

To be honest~ the current Chen Li can still control his desires.

Otherwise, with his current financial resources~ as long as he has other thoughts, it is estimated that he will already be surrounded by beautiful women.

However, Chen Li didn't have those messy thoughts, at least not now!

And maybe he noticed the change in his girlfriend's mood~ Chen Li wrapped the bag in his hand around Chen Xue's wrist.

Then~ reached out and took Liu Qingqing's palm.

"What's wrong?"

"You didn't sleep well last night?"

At this moment, Chen Li's lips are particularly red because of the chili oil.

And this scene, after being caught by Liu Qingqing~ instantly reminded me of the lipstick I applied when I put on makeup in the morning.

After finishing the painting~ Liu Qingqing felt that it was too much, so she wiped off the lipstick again.

At this moment, seeing Chen Li's lips that seemed to be covered with lipstick ~ suddenly he felt better again.

"Yes~!"

"Didn't I tell you~ I also have a lot of relatives at home, and I'm going to share a bed with my three younger sisters recently."

"Oh~!"

Chen Li nodded, and then...suddenly the smile on his face became a bit mean.

With a little force on his arm~ he pulled Liu Qingqing towards him, and then whispered:

"Fortunately, the bed I ordered this time is super big!"

"Hiss. Let go."

"Wrong ~ I was wrong!"

"I surrender!"

Chen Li hastily raised his right hand, which was still holding half a braised meat pot helmet, the power of the Nine Yin White Bone Pinch was indeed a bit strong.

At this moment~ the voices of Wang Yan and Wang Xiaodong, who had been waiting here for a long time, came from not far away.

Liu Qingqing glanced at her boyfriend again, rubbed her thumb with her just now, and then let go of Chen Li's hand.

Chen Li chuckled, took the pocket from Chen Xue, and took out the pot helmet and candied haws.

Hmm~ He bought this for Wang Yan and Wang Xiaodong.

"Thank you Brother Li!"

He took the pot helmet and candied haws ~ Wang Yan thanked them with a smile.

On the other hand, Wang Xiaodong, who usually looks like a big guy~ after seeing a lot of people he doesn't know here~ he just didn't dare to say anything.

Hey ~ no way!This can be regarded as a shortcoming of children from small places.

They are not like children in big cities ~ they have had many opportunities to get in touch with this society since they were young.

"How long did you wait?"

Chen Li raised his hand and rubbed Wang Xiaodong's head, but
"Brother Li~ You have oil on your hands."

Wang Xiaodong, who seemed a little shy just now, exploded in an instant.

"Uh!"

Only then did Chen Li realize that when he "surrendered" with Liu Qingqing just now, he accidentally got some chili oil on his hands.

At this moment, these chili oils were rubbed on Wang Xiaodong's hair.

This is embarrassing!Liu Qingqing next to her quickly took out a tissue, intending to wipe it for Chen Li and Wang Xiaodong.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Chen Li.

"Yo~ Chen Li?"

"What a coincidence, you also go to the Lingguan Temple to burn incense?"

Chen Li turned around to look, and found that the person who came was actually a spirited guy whom he had just met before the Chinese New Year.
Tang Bo!
