Golden Fishery
Four hundred and three. Repairing the church
The tiger, leopard and bear three little ones bullied the little wolf king all the time, poor little luotou is a war scum, even his parents can't beat the three big brothers, let alone him? So I couldn't drink the rest of the milk in one gulp.
Seeing this, Winnie went to the kitchen and brought up all the food bowls for the little ones, and poured half of the milk into each bowl.
But Tiger, Leopard and Xiong Sanxiao didn't drink, they just stared at the little carrot head and refused to let him drink milk.
No way, Wei Ni had no choice but to hold the little luotou in her arms, pour milk into the palm of her hand and feed it, while Qin Shiou looked at the three little guys, and only then did she feed the little luotou.
The little radish, who was full of food and drink, was unprecedentedly honest, and found a warm place to sleep on the bed with his limbs stretched out. Qin Shiou and Wei Ni looked at each other and smiled, and then went to sleep.
After dawn, Winnie was going to put the little carrot head back to its parents, so she had to ask for leave again.
He wants to build a church for two reasons. The first is to do something for the town and increase his popularity and prestige in the town. In North America, popularity is a very important thing, it will not make you more money, but it will make your life better.
The second and most important reason is that during Easter, he once swore to the statue of Grandpa Jesus in the church that as long as he could bless himself to earn the first 100 million yuan, he would come to help the children. Town church.
Now, his first 100 million has been obtained.
After staying in the small town for a year, Qin Shiou has a better understanding of the town. Before he bid farewell to the town, it was a small town with financial difficulties. So some infrastructure is not doing well, and there is no extra money to invest.
This church has been built for two hundred years. If it is not too dilapidated, it can actually be a tourist attraction.
But it's really shabby. He didn't even have his own pastor. The pastor Qin Shiou had met before was named De La Mondrez, who was also the pastor of a church in St. John's. He would occasionally come to town during holidays and peacetime.
Compared with when Qin Shiou first arrived, the church seemed a bit dilapidated, mainly due to the damage caused by the heavy snow for several days. The dome of the church was covered with snow, and some places were crushed.
Qin Shiou stopped the car and looked up, and said in amazement, "Is there something wrong with my eyesight or something? Why do I feel that the cross on it is a little crooked?"
Auerbach almost spit rice when he glanced at it. Said: "Damn it, really, it seems that the church must be overhauled."
Qin Shiou walked around the church,
The first thing to be repaired is the tower. The tower that used to be one of the main bodies of the church has been dilapidated, and there are many scars on the outer wall.
The stained glass needs to be completely replaced. The wind and the sun will cause the color of these glasses to fade badly. On the contrary, there is a bit of evil spirit.
The tables, chairs and benches in the chapel need to be replaced, and the surrounding portraits of the Virgin and the Evangelist must be repainted. All in all, this church needs to be revitalized. That investment is not small, no wonder the town government has not started construction for a long time.
Qin Shiou called Hamlei and said that he planned to repair the church. As soon as he got the news, Hamley's Camry rushed over immediately.
He walked into the church with a smile on his face. Hamlei held Qin Shiou's hand and said gratefully: "You have done a great thing for the town, Qin. May God bless you! May everything go well with you! May you win the Jiadeli Fishing Ground as soon as possible!"
"Don't leave any pot unopened, Mr. Mayor, let's talk about how to repair the church, what things can't be moved? What things are cultural relics?" Qin Shiou went straight to the point.
Hamlei took Qin Shiou to the home of an old man in the town. On the way, he introduced him. The old man's name was Thomas Green, and everyone called him Pastor Green. Provide the services of the gods to the townspeople.
Pastor Green is ninety-four years old. He is a thin, hunchbacked old man. His health is indeed in poor condition, but he is in a good mood. His family is poor and clean, and he and his wife are living a contented life.
When he was in China before, Qin Shiou always thought that pastors and priests were the same thing, and neither of them could marry. It was only when I came to Farewell Island that I realized that the clergy are called priests in Christianity, but they are called priests in Catholicism. The two are very different.
The difference in the nature of the duties of the two parties determines their different identities. In Christian doctrine, believers can communicate directly with God, and pastors are just shepherds and mentors, just like their names.
Catholicism is different. According to its teachings, believers can only communicate with God through the clergy, so the priest's responsibility is heavier and the power is greater.
In this way, the priest has much less restraint, this position can be a woman, can marry, and does not have to be strict with herself. But priests are different. They can only be men, and they are not allowed to marry for life. They need to serve the Lord.
When I met Qin Shiou, Pastor Green nodded for him, and then said with a smile: "God Hongguang is kind, I have always believed that he has not given up Farewell Island, and your arrival, my child, is a strong proof of this."
Qin Shiou smiled and nodded, maybe it was God who attracted him. Now that he knows more about the heart of the sea god, he becomes more devout towards the gods, because he is the direct beneficiary of the power of the gods.
Pastor Green then told Hamley and Qin Shiou about some precious areas of the church. As long as the things in these areas are well protected, construction can be started at other positions.
During the chat, Pastor Green kept smiling and kept in a good mood. Qin Shiou felt that even if he had the unimaginable wealth of Pastor Green, he did not have such a mood.
And what Qin Shiou most wanted to have was this kind of mood.
Finally, he couldn't help asking Pastor Green: "Excuse me for being abrupt, in my opinion, your life is not comfortable and perfect, why are you still so happy?"
Qin Shiou thought he would say that God was by my side, but that was not the case. Pastor Green pulled his smile and said, "Son, because I am very satisfied with everything today, I am always accompanied by God who loves me and I love, and I have Love me to spend my life with the partner I love, and I have enough food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, so why am I not happy?"
Contentment is always happiness, the ancestors of the descendants of Yan and Huang have already spoken out this truth, but there are too few who can understand and do it.
After leaving Pastor Green's house, Qin Shiou asked Weir to suspend the construction of the airport first, and try to repair the church before the next snowstorm.
Weir readily agreed, and immediately mobilized professional ancient building maintenance and protection engineers from the head office to personally lead the team to repair the church.
After Qin Shiou came home, he saw that there was no one in the house, and knowing that Wei Ni and others had gone to look for his parents, he also went to the small farm.
Sure enough, a group of people stayed and hid near the small farm, looking at the little radish heads on the edge of the woods.
The little radish head with soft white hair stumbled and ran for a while, it was obviously more familiar with the woods, sniffed and sniffed, and slowly walked into the woods. (to be continued...)
