At this moment, Yan Nanming truly realized that although the “equality” in Buddhism has different status, it is actually no different, and no one is more noble than anyone else. Everyone learns different knowledge and engages in different industries, but in the final analysis, everyone is just a “people”.
Yan Nanming bowed to the carpenter with a straight face: “Thank you.”
The carpenter felt that something had changed on Yan Nanming, but he couldn’t say what he had changed. Seeing that he gave him such a big tribute to him, he hurriedly supported him: “I can’t do it, I can’t do it. What are you doing? I haven’t done much for you. Even this house was built by everyone, and you gave us enough wages. You don’t need to go to me. I can’t bear it if you are so big.”
The carpenter may never know why Yan Nanming did this, but Yan Nanming himself knew that he did this great gift not to thank him, but to the friendship of a half-teacher. Perhaps this short sentence was nothing in the carpenter’s opinion. He even said the same sentence to many people, but Yan Nanming benefited a lot from it, but there was no need to tell him about these things.
Yan Nanming did not say the reason, but just finished his salute respectfully, and then walked to the side to help everyone, so he could only ask the carpenter alone. He was confused on the spot: “Is anyone who has read books so good? But I saw that the scholars in the city looked noble and didn’t bother to talk to them with humble people.”
But he didn’t doubt it for long, and was called to work by the people beside him: “Hi, carpenter, where are you? What are you doing? Come and help.”
The carpenter responded when he heard the call of his companion, “Okay, I’ll come here right away.” Then he went to help with the work, throwing this matter behind his head, and never remembered it again.
After noon, Feng Qinghuan came over and everyone stopped the work in their hands to rest. Yan Nanming asked, “I wonder how many days will it take to complete the remaining ones?”
“It won’t take long, and it will be done in about ten days.”
After saying that, everyone jokingly said, “You can be your groom happily.” As soon as this sentence came out, everyone laughed, and Feng Qinghuan’s face was even red and bloody.
Yan Nanming’s expression remained unchanged. After the house was built, he had to marry Yu Fengqinghuan. There was nothing to hide or anything to be funny. However, since this could make everyone laugh, there was no need to say it out, which made everyone embarrassed and not speak directly, which was a default.
Yan Nanming asked again: “What are the furniture you make? Do I still need to add anything in it?”
The carpenter answered very readily: “It’s the common stove, table, chair, and bed.Some common ones. We will make simple furniture for you. If you need anything extra, you need to go to the city to make it yourself, or tell us that we can help you. ”
“Thank you, these are enough. “This time, Yan Nanming did not give that big gift again, but the carpenter felt better. Zhi Yan Nanming’s actions really scared him. If he always did this, he would definitely not be able to stand it. It’s good now.
Yan Nanming told Feng Qinghuan all his previous conversations. Feng Qinghuan was also very surprised. Although she grew up in the village, she never knew this. She had discussed with Yan Nanming what furniture to buy and had a happy discussion, but she didn’t expect that the villagers had done all these for them.
