Chapter 88: New Year's Day Trip! (First Update!)

Running errands?

Ji Shuangshuang stopped playing crickets, slowly raised her head to look at the handsome guy in front of her, and shouted in her heart.

Do not!
Even if you are a handsome guy, even if your appearance suits my aesthetic standards, you cannot let me work overtime on New Year's Day.

I'm already busy at work, if I add any more work, I'll die!
What's more, New Year's Day is a legal holiday.

Ji Shuangshuang!
You must bravely take up the power given to you by the labor law and bravely refuse!
This thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and Ji Shuangshuang's eyes focused. Then he sat up straight, and his legs slowly slid down from the sofa and stepped on his slippers.

He picked up the thermos bucket, stood up and coughed lightly:
"Boss, tomorrow is a statutory holiday."

"Ah?" The incoherent words made Lin Yi's CPU suddenly short-circuit. He stood there thinking for a long time, and after thinking about the context for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why such a sentence existed.

Scratching his head, he asked back, "I know tomorrow is a legal holiday, so I asked if you want to go out and play. If you do, I'll give you a red envelope."

"If you don't go out, you'll have to work overtime."

Lin Yi's eyes were clear, his expression was frank and he had no regrets.

Not catching any other expression on Lin Yi's face, Ji Shuangshuang sighed inwardly, bent down, and quickly left with the thermos.

Looking at the departing figure, Lin Yi continued to stay where he was, tilting his head and thinking about what he had said wrong.

I thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out which sentence I said was wrong.

Unable to find the reason, he decided to take a shower and go to bed.

Wake up and think about it slowly tomorrow.

On the other side, Ji Shuangshuang returned to the room, cleaned the thermos, put it back on the table, and jumped back onto the bed.

She grabbed the phone on the bedside table, clicked on QQ, found her best friend, and started sending her messages frantically.

[Is he dead?]

【I didn’t die! 】

[You're right. My boss seems interested in me, but he also seems a little afraid of me. Come on, let's talk about what to do.]

I invited him, but he didn't plan to go with me. He just wanted to give me a red envelope.

【Speaking, the person is dead?】

[Speak up! Ancestor!]

After sending dozens of messages, the other party finally replied.

[Oh my god, it's two o'clock in the morning! You get a high salary and have tomorrow off to get a bonus, but I still have to work overtime! If you have feelings for your boss, then be bold.]

If you think the salary is too high and it's a mistake, then go away and let me do it! 】

…………

"Could you please not disturb my sleep so early in the morning? Today is New Year's Day! Today is the first day of 2010. Could you please let me be quiet for a while?"

At the door of Lin Yi's office, he held the door with his left hand, held the door frame with his right hand, and looked at Ji Shuangshuang with a pleading face.

The time is now 6:02 AM.

High school students also get up at this time.

On the first day of 2010, Ji Shuangshuang changed into a festive outfit - a red, modified, thickened plush Hanfu.

I don't know when I bought it.

She was dressed in red from head to toe, with furry collar and sleeves, which made her skin look particularly fair and lovely.

Her soft long hair was tied into a ponytail with a red ribbon. When she raised her head, the ribbon fluttered gently in the wind in the corridor, adding a touch of unrestrainedness to Ji Shuangshuang.

Facing Lin Yi's plea for mercy, Ji Shuangshuang crossed her hands in front of her chest, made a negative gesture and sneered:

"On the first day of the new year, shouldn't you go and worship the God of Wealth? Worship the God of Wealth, light a stick of incense, and pray for good luck, isn't that good?"

"Do you know how crazy those bosses are when they want to light the first incense stick of the new year?"

"My classmate's boss gets up at three and arrives at the temple gate at four!"

"Look at you again, all you know is sleep!"

Lin Yi has never been very fond of worshipping gods, because when he was a child, he would be severely beaten every time he stole offerings.

I was rebellious as a child and didn’t really enjoy this activity, but as an adult, I’ve come to terms with my younger self, but I still don’t have a habit of worshipping gods.

Instead of praying to gods and Buddhas, it is better to pray to yourself.

Of course, this was not what annoyed him the most.

What annoyed him most was that there was no temple or Taoist temple dedicated to the God of Wealth in the Hanshan Temple area.

The nearest temple is Hanshan Temple in the neighboring Gusu District.

Although there is a Hanshan Temple sign in the Hanshan Temple District, it is separated from the Hanshan Temple by the Grand Canal. The leaders of the Hanshan Temple District look at the Hanshan Temple across the river like a resentful woman leaning on the doorstep, watching her husband not return home.

If you go to Hanshan Temple to worship the God of Wealth, you must enter the Gusu District.

As the saying goes, there are planes in the sky and Suzhou on the ground. Suzhou has no airport, but every driver is a pilot.

The driving skills of people in Suzhou are no less than those of Jiutouniao.

Plus today is New Year's Day.

Lin Yi's eyes already appeared the scene of him being stuck in traffic.

Don't want to go!
can not go!
Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Ji Shuangshuang in front of him with her hands behind her back, her toes slightly raised, her body leaning forward, her big eyes blinking, looking eager and aggrieved.

This look made Lin Yi's heart soften.

I haven't seen her like this in a long time.

He sighed and pointed at the door of the finance office opposite:

"Lock the door and lock up everything that needs to be locked in the safe."

"Great!" Ji Shuangshuang turned around to lock the door, while Lin Yi turned back to the office. After choosing for a long time, he picked out a beige windbreaker and put it on. He also used the glass of the bookcase to tidy up his hairstyle to make himself look less old-fashioned.

After doing all this, he took the car keys, locked the door and left.

Get in the car, fasten your seat belt, and step on the accelerator to drive out.

As soon as the car entered Gusu District, Lin Yi saw Lezi.

Just as he turned the intersection, the Mercedes-Benz S300L in front of him suddenly turned on its wipers. He subconsciously stepped on the brakes. The next second, a Passat appeared on his left like a ghost, and then quietly inserted itself between the two cars.

The next second, the Passat collided with the S300L.

There was a constant stream of cars on the left, and Lin Yi was stuck in a very awkward position. The car in front of him couldn't move, and he couldn't get into the left lane.

Looking at the vehicles moving forward on the left, he raised his hands, wiped his face, checked his seat belt again, and the blood of the Gusu people awakened. He turned the steering wheel to the left and stepped on the accelerator to squeeze into the lane.

When passing by the Passat and Mercedes-Benz S300l, Ji Shuangshuang suddenly stuck his head out and shouted to the drivers of the two cars:
"Master, parking is not allowed here."

After shouting, she turned around and seemed to remember what she had just done. She quickly turned her head to look at the driver's seat, only to find that Lin Yi was looking straight ahead with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Ji Shuangshuang felt a darkness before her eyes.

Oh shit, it's over.

We arrived at Hanshan Temple quite late. Those who were the first to burn incense had already left, leaving only those who came later to stroll around.

Lin Yi bought a bunch of incense in the shop in front of the temple. Following Ji Shuangshuang, he was stopped by the welcoming monk at the door just as he reached the temple gate.
"Donor, sincerity is the key to success!" As he spoke, the welcoming monk pointed to the table next to him, on which was a wooden box containing offerings.

Next to the box was a piece of sandalwood as thick as a little finger, and in front of the sandalwood was a sign, the supermarket price tag.

【100 yuan/stick】

Lin Yi touched his nose, raised the incense in his hand, and then touched the incense opposite him:
"Master, tell me, which incense is more pious, this one or yours?"

The welcoming monk smiled and saluted with one hand: "Donor, you are obsessed with appearances. Incense is not important, what is important is the heart."

"If we must say whose incense is more pious, then I would naturally say it's the temple's incense."

"After all, I need to eat."

The words of the welcoming monk made Lin Yi couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart, and he didn't even need to act anymore.

He took out some money from his pocket and took out two incense sticks. He handed one to Ji Shuangshuang, while Lin Yi kept the other in his own hand.

Just as the two were about to go in, the welcoming monk spoke again:

"The Bodhisattva of the Temple is in the side hall on the left. If you want to ask about your marriage, you need to go to the main hall. One stick of incense is not enough!"

This time, before Lin Yi could open his mouth, Ji Shuangshuang took out the money and took two incense sticks.

Entering the temple, the two followed the crowd to the side hall on the left.

In the middle of the side hall stands a Buddhist-style Guan Yu, who is the Buddhist Bodhisattva of the Kālacakra.

Walking forward, Lin Yi naturally lit the sandalwood incense in his hand next to the incense burner, forced himself to hold back the dirty talk, bowed to Guan Erye, and inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner.

When he turned around, he found Ji Shuangshuang standing in front of Guan Erye, tilting his head and looking left and right.

After a while, she asked the question in her heart:

"Why is the God of Wealth Guan Erye? He's different from the God of Wealth I saw!"

After asking, she continued to stand there, looking left and right at the statue of Guan Erye in front of her.

Lin Yi rolled his eyes, reached out to take the incense, lit it next to the incense burner, and handed it back:
"There are many gods of wealth, generally divided into civil and military. The civil gods of wealth are Bigan and Fan Li, usually placed inside the house, while the military gods of wealth are Guan Yu and Zhao Gongming, usually placed in the hall."

"Apart from these few, most regions have their own gods of wealth."

"So, worship!"

Taking the sandalwood and holding it in both hands, Ji Shuangshuang bowed three times very devoutly, and then said out loud her wish:

"I hope my boss will give me a promotion and a raise this year."

After expressing her wish, she took two steps forward, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then repeated her wish very devoutly:
"I hope my boss will give me a promotion and a raise this year."

While she was worshiping the gods devoutly, Lin Yi raised his hand and made an OK gesture to the statue in front of him.

He noticed Ji Shuangshuang turned back, then quickly turned around and pointed to the main hall:

"The main hall is over there."

I don’t know if it was Lin Yi’s illusion, but when he mentioned the main hall, Ji Shuangshuang became a little more lively.

Holding the incense in his hand, he walked past him and quickly came to the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the main hall.

On the lotus throne, Guanyin Bodhisattva sat there solemnly. In front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, several young pairs were kneeling, two by two, with pious and happy smiles on their faces.

After making their wishes, the young and energetic couple turned their heads to each other, their hearts and eyes filled with each other.

When Lin Yi saw this, he turned his head away.

Middle-aged and elderly people can’t bear to see these!

Next to her, Ji Shuangshuang had already lit the sandalwood incense in her hand, knelt reverently on the cushion, and muttered something softly.

Lin Yi tilted his head and listened, but didn't hear clearly.

After the two young lovers next to him stood up and left, he also walked over, lit the sandalwood, and knelt down beside them:
"May someone be safe and sound."

After bowing, Lin Yi stood up, inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner, turned around and walked to the door, waiting for Ji Shuangshuang who was still kneeling on the cushion.

After a long while, Ji Shuangshuang finally walked out of the main hall, raised her head, revealing her bright face, and asked Lin Yi:

"Boss, aren't you curious about what I wished for?"

"Talk about it!"

"I make a wish that someone will live a peaceful life, make a fortune this year, and live in a big house!" Just one sentence, a few words, before the voice was completely finished, Ji Shuangshuang's face was full of blush, then she lowered her head and said nothing.

At the door, Lin Yi looked at Ji Shuangshuang who lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and stretched out his right hand.

Ji Shuangshuang also saw the hand that appeared in front of her. She was delighted and gently grabbed the hand of the person in front of her.

The sandalwood was lingering. Ji Shuangshuang tilted her head, looked away guiltily, and walked out with big strides, while Lin Yi followed slowly behind her.

As they were about to leave, the welcoming monk stopped them again. He clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "I just said that the incense in the temple is more effective. You didn't believe it, donator. Do you believe it now?"

When Ji Shuangshuang was about to respond to the greeting from the welcoming monk, Lin Yi was quick to pull Ji Shuangshuang behind him, sandwiching her between the two of them. He rolled his eyes and said to the welcoming monk:
"Speak directly!"

The next second, the welcoming monk took a step to the left, revealing the incense table behind him.

On the incense table, there are a lot of marriage cards.

He pointed with a smile and said, "This marriage amulet blessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva is made of Lantian white jade. It originally cost 30000 yuan a piece, but you and I have a connection, so I can buy it now for only 100 yuan a piece."

"I can help you two carve your names. You can choose the font you want."

As he spoke, the welcoming monk took two steps forward and pointed to the flower bed outside the door. In the flower bed was a ginkgo tree as thick as an adult's thigh. In the cold winter, there were no lush branches and leaves, only bare branches.

There are many similar signs hanging on that ginkgo tree.

In the breeze, the red rope on the sign fluttered like smoke and rain.

Lin Yi looked for a while, and when he turned around, he found that the welcoming monk had already placed the sign in Ji Shuangshuang's hands:
"Guanyin Bodhisattva has blessed it, and it is guaranteed to be effective. If it doesn't work, I won't charge you."

The next second, Ji Shuangshuang held the sign in front of Lin Yi:
"Shall we hang one?"

"Quack quack!"

"Ok?"

"I said hang up! If you like us, then hang up!" Lin Yi took out 100 yuan and handed over the sign and the money together:
"Ji Shuangshuang, Lin Yi, and you are definitely not white jade, you are definitely plastic."

"Don't slander! Monks don't tell lies! This is the best white jade, and white marble is also white jade." The welcoming monk took the money and the sign, turned around and sat back behind the altar.

Soon, a teeth-aching grinding sound was heard.

When the welcoming monk appeared again, there were two more names on the sign in his hand.

I have to say, this guy is quite capable.

The fonts polished by machines look very realistic and fine.

"Nice handwriting!" Lin Yi gave a thumbs up, turned around and pulled Ji Shuangshuang towards the ginkgo tree. Behind him, the welcoming monk clasped his hands together:
"Thank you for your praise!"

After hanging the sign neatly on the ginkgo tree and making sure it wouldn't fall off due to wind and rain, Lin Yi clapped his hands in satisfaction and took Ji Shuangshuang's hand again:

"Go shopping!"

They were shopping, and some people were shopping too.
