Chapter 406: Thinking of Relatives Every Festive Season
These two people are no one else, Li Chengfeng didn't need to see his appearance clearly, so he recognized them at a glance.
He rushed out two steps, rushed to the person, knelt down with a grunt, and choked up, "Mother!"
It was Li Chengfeng's mother-in-law, Xie and her personal maid Luzhu who came.
Xie Shi looked at Li Chengfeng with a smile, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "My son is a cultivator now, so you must not kneel at will." ”
Li Chengfeng held back his tears and said: "Even if the child soars to become an immortal in the future, it is also the child of his mother!"
This sentence made Xie Shi's heart tremble, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden, she held back her tears and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm right." ”
Lu Zhu on the side was holding a bamboo basket in his hand, and only then did he come up and salute: "The slave has seen the young master." ”
Li Chengfeng looked at Luzhu with a smile and said with a smile: "Sister Luzhu is getting more and more beautiful, but there is someone in the picture?"
Lu Zhu suddenly glanced at Li Chengfeng resentfully, snorted in a low voice, retreated behind Xie Shi, and stopped talking.
Li Chengfeng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to make eye contact with Luzhu, but fortunately, at this time, Su Yuehan stepped forward very obediently, saluted Xie Yingying, and said, "The slave has seen the master's mother and Sister Luzhu." ”
Xie Shi also hurriedly helped Su Yuehan up, how could she dare to treat Su Yuehan as her own servant now?
Even if she didn't know her true identity, just because she practiced with Li Chengfeng and would be a female monk in the future, her status and status far surpassed that of the Xie family's original masters.
Xie Shi held Su Yuehan's hand, looked her up and down, only saw that Su Yuehan's cheeks were a little red, and she praised again and again: "Good boy, good boy!"
Li Chengfeng on the side secretly smiled: Good boy? Mother, compared to her, you are a child!
Su Yuehan was not embarrassed, but lowered her head slightly, her cheeks were smiling, and the corners of her eyes were dizzy.
Without waiting for Xie Shi to say more, another person pounced at this time, rushed to the ground, kowtowed again and again, the voice was so loud and banging, this person said excitedly: "Xiaobao has seen the master mother!"
Xie's eyes were hot, and he hurriedly helped Zhao Xiaobao up, and she said, "Good boy, don't you hate the housewife?"
Zhao Xiaobao shed tears and choked up: "Xiaobao's life is given by the master's mother, if you want to beat or scold, Xiaobao admits it, but I just beg the master's mother not to drive Xiaobao away! Xiaobao grew up in the Li family, if he leaves, Xiaobao will have no relatives and no reason from now on, the world is so big, there is no place to go!"
Xie wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said again and again: "Okay, good." It was the housewife who did it wrong before, you are a good child, you are a good child!"
Zhao Xiaobao was about to cry and speak again, and suddenly received a kick in the back of his buttocks, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was Li Chengfeng who kicked him.
Li Chengfeng scolded with a smile: "It's rare for my mother to come once, don't cry and cry in the bad scenery!
Zhao Xiaobao blushed, covered his buttocks and got up and flashed to the side, Xie Shi glared at Li Chengfeng, and scolded in a low voice: "It's a cultivator anyway, why are you still beating and scolding at will?"
Li Chengfeng didn't refute either, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, my mother has taught me a lesson!
Xie Shi and Green Zhu glanced at each other, and a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in their eyes, and Xie Shi forced a smile: "My son is practicing in the mountains, I'm afraid I have forgotten, a few days ago was Chinese New Year's Eve!"
Li Chengfeng was taken aback: "It's the New Year?
Xie Shi smiled bitterly: "Seven days ago, today is the seventh day of the new year!"
Li Chengfeng's heart sank, he immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Xie, and choked: "The child is not filial! He didn't fulfill his filial piety in front of his father and mother on Chinese New Year's Eve!"
Xie Shi supported Li Chengfeng and pulled him up hard, she looked at Li Chengfeng with tears in her eyes, smiled at Li Chengfeng, and said: "My son is a person with great potential, how can I stay in front of my father and mother all day long in the shape of a little daughter? Isn't that too unproductive?"
Li Chengfeng wiped his tears, reluctantly smiled and diverted the topic, introducing Ouyang Nan and the others who were smiling and looking at them on the side for the Xie family: "Mother, these are my senior brothers in the Lingshan faction. ”
After Li Chengfeng introduced the Xie family one by one, Ouyang Nan and others saluted the Xie family with the etiquette of the Tibetan Sword Pavilion, and the Xie family returned the salute one by one with generosity and dignity, and its demeanor made Ouyang Nan and others secretly praise: Although the Li family of the moon washing is broken, after all, it was once the first sect in the world, and the tiger will not fall, and the style in this root is still there!
After Xie Shi saw everyone, she smiled and said, "I took the liberty to go up the mountain today, just to bring some delicious food for my son and a few other monks." ”
Li Chengfeng smiled: "What delicious food did my mother bring?"
Xie Shi glanced at Lu Zhu, Lu Zhu's voice was crisp, and he said with a smile: "I brought dumplings and Lantern Festival." ”
Li Chengfeng smiled a little reluctantly: "Could it be that you want to spend Chinese New Year's Eve and the Lantern Festival together?"
Lu Zhu smiled: "That's exactly what it means. The mistress is afraid of you...... I was afraid that you would be busy with cultivation and forget to eat dumplings and Lantern Festival, so I took the slaves and maids to make dumplings and Lantern Festival, and then brought them for the young master and monks to taste together. ”
Li Chengfeng smiled and said to Ouyang Nan and the others: "A few senior brothers, can you give a face?"
Ouyang Nan laughed and said, "Okay, old ...... I haven't eaten dumplings on this Chinese New Year's Eve for several years, and the Lantern Festival on this Lantern Festival!"
He didn't break a foul sentence and said Lao Tzu's words.
Xie Shi didn't care, and followed Li Chengfeng and them into the house where they were staying, she followed Tianjun to the back kitchen, and quickly skillfully lit a fire, cooked the frozen dumplings and Lantern Festival in boiling water, and then brought a bowl of each person.
Everyone divided fifteen dumplings, six rice balls, and two bowls each, and the room was fragrant for a while.
Ouyang Nan first picked up the bowl and ate a dumpling, and while eating, he nodded and praised: "Well, the chicken and vegetable filling, good, delicious!"
Everyone also nodded after eating, but after He Zhu took a bite, tears fell down the ground, and he couldn't cry for a while.
Ouyang Nan patted He Zhu and said angrily: "Hey, stupid big man, why are you crying for this big holiday?"
He Zhu wiped his tears and cried: "I, I...... I haven't eaten Chinese New Year's Eve dumplings for seventeen years!
Su You, Ouyang Nan, Tianjun and others in the audience were all stiff-faced, and their expressions were gloomy, and Han Tianxing was also hiding and quietly wiping away tears.
Ouyang Nan reluctantly smiled and said, "Cultivators, it's inevitable that you will leave home at a young age!"
Su You said in a deep voice: "Silly big man, you still have a mother to think about...... I, my mother, passed away the year before last, and I ...... I couldn't even go back, and when I died, I couldn't go back to see her......"
Su You's hands trembled slightly, and the bowl in his hand seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties.
He Zhu couldn't help crying at this time: "My mother is about to die, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for a few months!"
Everyone was silent for a while, some were in a daze with red eyes, and some were secretly weeping.
Although cultivators are said to be high above and look down on all the strata of this world, there are many of them who come from the lowest level of the common people, and they have inseparable family and kinship, but in the long course of their cultivation career, they gradually watch their beloved relatives live, grow old, sick and die one by one, and then finally they are left alone in the world.
Some lucky ones end up living as widows, widows, and lonely cultivators, who jump out of the cycle of reincarnation and transcend life and death, and all the love, hatred, hatred and hatred in the world can no longer move them, they have no hatred, no love, no joy or anger, no laughter and no tears.
However, in Li Chengfeng's view, is this really a kind of luck?
Li Chengfeng held this bowl of steaming dumplings and whispered movingly: "Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of your relatives every festival." Knowing the relatives and climbing to the heights, there is one less person in the dogwood. ”
