Chapter 299
Chapter 299
It's no wonder. When a person dies, everything is empty and the sadness is left to the living. How can one hold back tears?
Zhiyuan said, "Everyone in that village said that this grandmother's son and daughter-in-law were very filial, and she was kind and capable. Her family had a good life. It's such a pity that she died like this."
The only thing that doesn't make sense in this matter is why a person who is living a good life would be so eager to die a good death and hope that there is no afterlife.
The child remembered the look on her face and the tone of her voice when she said this, as well as the sigh she uttered at the end, which seemed to contain thousands of words.
"Just because others think something is good doesn't necessarily mean it's truly good," Yundou said casually as he was dividing the money. "Others also think my mother has had a hard time and that I'm very naive. But actually, as a child, you know, my mother is one of the most foolish people in the world. If I were a little more 'sensible', our family would have been ruined long ago. Whether we live a good life or not, outsiders can't say it; only those who are in it know.
Everyone thinks her family lives well, but perhaps in her eyes, she has her own hardships. Does having a little more money than other families mean that their lives are definitely better?
"That makes sense." Zhiyuan nodded.
The child doesn't care: "Anyway, I'm happy as long as I have money."
She has already set her eyes on a very beautiful red sandalwood fish that she can give to the master as a gift.
Although it has some flaws, if it weren't for the flaws, she wouldn't be able to afford it...
In short, she had already thought about it. She would give the master a wooden fish, give Master Jingneng a book that told many strange stories, and give Master Jingchi a set of sturdy monk's robes. She was small but strong, and always did a lot of work. Her clothes were easily damaged and were always patched. She had a bad temper but was not rude, but her cooking was really delicious, especially the pear soup.
After the child left them, he never had such delicious pear soup again...
I don’t know if they are willing to go back to Suicheng with me.
Nuns are supposed to stay in temples, but children cannot afford to build temples for them to live in, and there doesn’t seem to be any temples in Suicheng for them to go to.
But it's good to meet you.
The child was not picky and happily spent most of his travel money on buying things.
It’s still not enough, so I have to make clothes and shoes myself.
Let's not talk about her needlework.
Yundou knew how to do it, but when she saw the child's eyesight, her palms started sweating. She accidentally cut the hair a little crooked, and the child refused to use her. She was so angry that she threw down the scissors and cursed her: "You troublemaker! No one cares about you!"
The child pouted and took the cloth away: "Ignore it, I'm going to go find Taozi!"
"It's no use looking for a monkey! You can't tell how tall she is!"
The children described Master Jingchi as follows: "She wasn't very tall. Many people were taller than her, but not as strong as her. She didn't look strong either, being rather thin. But when she exerted force, her arms looked very powerful. She could pick me up with one hand and even walk me a long way. She seemed to be this tall, or maybe... this tall. I can't remember exactly. When I was little, she was much taller than me, and her hitting hurt!"
Whether it hurts when she hits someone has nothing to do with this matter. Yundou was speechless after hearing this, and so was Haitao.
The child said seriously, "It does matter. Don't tell her that I can't remember how tall she is. She will get angry and beat me up."
Sounds like a pretty fierce guy.
The child thought for a moment and said, "That's not necessarily true. She'll definitely be happy to see me, so she won't remember to be angry."
She could hardly remember clearly. It seemed like she had been beaten a lot when she was a child, but it also seemed like she hadn't. As she got to know many people, she gradually confused the reasons why these people were angry.
After a lot of confusion, the clothes were finally made.
The three girls scratched their heads and looked at it for a long time.
"Who tightened its waist?"
"What kind of patterns are embroidered on monks' robes?"
"Why do these shoes seem... one is big... and the other is small?"
“It looked pretty much the same when we were doing it.”
Hai Tao finally spread her hands and said, "I didn't say I was good at it."
They say there is strength in numbers, and when it comes to children, there are just as many people as there are.
She was used to having bad luck, so she took the remaining money for travel and the money she had earned from doing press work in the past few days and bought another ready-made set.
I saw Lian Li before the New Year. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but he was still smiling, with his narrow eyes curved. He didn't look worried at all. When he saw the child, he said, "Wow, you have really grown taller."
He still rubbed the child's head rudely, almost messing up her combed hair, and said with emotion: "After all, she is a grown-up girl, and she already uses hair oil. Look at what I have done to her."
He was not very satisfied. The child was afraid that he would rub against him, so he stepped away and said angrily, "Eunuch Chen, look at him!"
Eunuch Chen was just pretending that he didn't exist, and only looked over when the child started to make a fuss.
The two men, who were both father and son and brothers, looked at each other in silence. Chen Lianli kowtowed to him and still called him "godfather."
Chen Dianshen said nothing.
The child looked at this and that, and suddenly asked considerately, "Do you want to talk? Or should I go out for a while?"
Chen Dianshan covered his face!
Lian Li said, "Go away."
"Ugh!"
That is, you can’t eavesdrop, the child sighed and went out.
When they finished talking, only Lian Li came out and said to the child, "Come on, I'll take you to find someone."
The child looked at him and asked, "Are you crying?"
Lian Li, with red eyes: ...
Child: "Wait a minute, I'll get you two eggs and roll them."
Lian Li said, "No need."
The child insisted, "Yes, I don't want to bring a crybaby to see Master and the others. Wait a minute, I'll be back soon."
The child stuffed the small bamboo basket filled with gifts into Lianli's arms and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Lianli held the bamboo basket decorated with colorful silk and felt that the colorful basket was eye-catching. Then she became worried and sighed in the direction where the child left.
What could he say about this?
Lian Li still hadn't made up his mind until the child came back with two hot eggs wrapped in a handkerchief. He took them absentmindedly, got on the carriage, and knocked the eggs against the corner of the table. A pair of angry eyes next to him immediately stared at him.
Lian Lili was not convinced but still angry: "What's wrong with me eating? Look at the sky, it's not even daybreak yet. How can I be hungry this early in the morning? I haven't even had a cup of tea in the morning since I got here. How can you be so cruel to me?"
The child was angry but dared not say anything, feeling a little guilty and said cowardly: "Then just eat one, and I'll treat you to a bowl of wontons later."
"Okay, I'll give you a chance. I want to eat at Cuiyunlou."
Child: “What building?”
Lian Li feigned surprise: "You haven't been there yet? It's a famous restaurant in the capital. The food is all vegetarian, no meat at all."
"Is anyone going there?" the child expressed deep doubt.
"Of course not," Lian Li said, "There are many people like you who have been vegetarians all year round, and they can make vegetarian dishes taste like meat."
The child was surprised and quite tempted when he heard this, "Let's not go to Cuiyun Tower. If you want to eat, how about I treat you to a meal at another tower?"
"Another building?"
"Yes... there's a small shop selling wontons over there at the city gate."
The child's cheeks turned slightly red and he stammered.
Cuiyun Tower sounds expensive, but she thinks Chengmen Tower is not much worse.
Lian Li:……
"I invite you."
The child lifted the carriage curtain, poked his head out and said, "Cuiyun Tower, let's go!"
The half-grown boy holding the horse whip responded, "Okay! Go!"
The child retracted his head and continued, "If you treat me, that wouldn't be a good idea."
