403. Repair churches

The tiger, leopard and bear are bullying the little wolf king, the poor little radish head is the five scum of the war, and the father and mother can't beat the three big brothers, let alone it? So you can't drink the rest of the milk.

Seeing this, Winnie went to the kitchen and brought up all the little ones' rice bowls, and poured half of the milk into one basin.

But the tigers, leopards and bears don't drink it, they just stare at the little radish head, just don't let it drink milk.

There was no way, Winnie had no choice but to hold the little radish head in her arms and pour milk into the palm of her hand to feed it, while Qin Shiou looked at the three little guys, so that she could feed the little radish head.

The little radish head who was full of food and drink was unprecedentedly honest, and found a warm place to lie on the bed with his limbs wide open and fell asleep, Qin Shiou and Winnie looked at each other and smiled, and then they went to sleep.

After daybreak, Winnie was going to put the little turnip head back to give it to her parents, so she had to take another leave of absence.

Qin Shiou did not accompany Winnie, yesterday Auerbach said that the church in the town was very dilapidated, so he went to see it and planned to help the town repair the church.

There are two reasons why he wants to build a church, 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 when he was celebrating Easter, he once swore to the statue of Grandpa Jesus in the church that as long as he could bless himself with earning enough for the first 100 million 5 yuan, he would come to help the town repair the church.

Now, his first hundred million has arrived.

After staying in the town for a year, Qin Shiou knew more about the town, and it was a financially stretched town before bidding farewell to the town. So some of the infrastructure is very bad, and there is no extra money to invest.

This church has been under construction for 200 years. If it's not too shabby, it can actually be made a tourist attraction.

But it's too shabby. He didn't even have a pastor of his own, the pastor Qin Shiou had seen before was named Della Mondris, who was the pastor of a church in St. John's, and occasionally came to town during the holidays.

Compared with when Qin Shiou first came, this church seems to be a little more dilapidated, mainly due to the destruction of heavy snow for several days, and the dome of the church is covered with snow, and some places are crushed.

Qin Shiou stopped the car and looked up, and said in amazement: "Is there something wrong with my eyes or what's going on?" How do I feel that the cross above is a little crooked? ”

Auerbach almost squirted rice when he saw it. "Damn, really, it looks like the church has to be overhauled." ”

Qin Shiou walked around the church, and the first thing to repair was the tower, which was once one of the main bodies of the church and was dilapidated, with many scars on the outer wall.

The stained glass needs to be replaced, and the wind and sun have exposed the color of these glasses to the extreme, and the mottled land not only does not look sacred. On the contrary, it is a bit of a glamour and evil spirit.

The tables, chairs and benches in the chapel had to be replaced, and the images of the Virgin and the Son had to be repainted, and in short, the church had to be revitalized. That's not a small investment, no wonder the town government has been slow to start construction.

Qin Shiou called Hamlet and said that he planned to renovate the church. As soon as he got the news, Hamray's Camry immediately sped in.

The spring breeze walked into the church. Hamlet held Qin Shiou's hand and said gratefully, "You have done a great thing for the town, Qin." May God bless you! Bless you with a qiēshun lì! Bless you with the Gatorley Fishery as soon as possible! ”

"Don't open any pot and mention it, Mr. Mayor, let's talk about how to repair the church, what can't be moved? What are the artifacts? Qin Shiou went straight to the point.

Hamlet took Qin Shiou to an old man's house in the town, and on the way he introduced him, the old man's name was Thomas Green, everyone called him Pastor Green, he was the real pastor of the town before, but now that he is old, he no longer provides God's services to the townspeople.

Pastor Green is ninety-four years old, a thin hunchbacked old man, his health is indeed poor, but his love is very good, his family is poor and clean, and he and his wife live a very contented life.

In the past, when he was in China, Qin Shiou always thought that pastors and priests were the same thing, and they could not get married. When I came to Farewell Island, I realized that the clergy are called priests in Christianity and priests in Catholicism, and the two are very different.

In Christian doctrine, believers can communicate directly with God, and pastors, as their names suggest, are just shepherds and mentors.

Catholicism, on the other hand, teaches that believers can only communicate with God through the clergy, so that the priest's duties are heavier and his power is greater.

In this way, the priest has much less constraints, the position can be female, can be married, and can not be strict with himself. Priests, on the other hand, can only be men, and are not allowed to marry for the rest of their lives, and are required to serve the Lord.

When he met with Qin Shiou, Pastor Green saluted him, and then said with a smile: "God is glorious and benevolent, I have always believed that he has not given up on the farewell island, and your arrival is a strong proof of this, child." ”

Qin Shiou smiled and nodded, maybe it was really God who attracted him, and now as he learned more about the heart of the sea god, the more devout he became to the god, because he was the direct beneficiary of the god's power.

Pastor Green then told Hamlet and Qin Shiou about some precious areas of the church, as long as the things in these places are protected, then the other locations can be built casually.

During the chat, Pastor Green kept smiling and in a good mood, Qin Shiou felt that even if he had unimaginable wealth from Pastor Green, he would not be in such a mood as he was.

And what Qin Shiou wants to have most is such a mood.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask Pastor Green, "With all due respect, your life is not comfortable and perfect in my opinion, why are you so happy?" ”

Qin Shiou thought that he would say that God was by my side or something, but this was not the case, Pastor Green pulled his smile and said: "Child, because I am very satisfied with today's Yiqiē, I have the God who loves me and I love me to accompany me all the time, I have a partner who loves me and my love to spend my whole life with, and I have enough food, clothing, shelter and transportation, so why am I not happy?" ”

Contentment and happiness, the ancestors of the descendants of Yan and Huang have long said this truth, but there are too few who can understand and do it.

Leaving Pastor Green's house, Qin Shiou asked Weil to suspend the construction of the airport first, and try to repair the church before the next snowstorm.

Weir readily agreed, and immediately mobilized a professional ancient building maintenance and protection engineer from the head office to personally lead the team to repair the church.

After Qin Shiou went home, he saw that there was no one in the house, and knew that Winnie and the others had gone to put the little radish head to find their parents, so they also went to the small farm.

Sure enough, a group of people stayed and hid near the small farm, looking at the little radish head at the edge of the woods.

The little turnip head with soft white fur stumbled for a while, it was obviously more familiar and friendly to the woods, and after sniffing it, it slowly walked into the woods. (To be continued......)
