Chapter 09: New Year's Money

The fat monk's wife is a simple woman, with an average appearance, chubby, and very shy, and when she saw Ah Jiu, she only said hello and went to the kitchen to cook. The hands and feet are very sharp, and after a while, four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables are served. Ah Jiu thanked him, and the fat monk waved his hand: "Go, take the child to stay in the room." ”

The woman nodded, smiled at Ah Jiu, and went to the back room with the child in her arms.

The fat monk's home is in the village at the foot of the mountain, Ah Jiu often came to this place when he was a child, Songshan is a blessed land, there are often people who come here to practice, after a long time, a market gradually developed here, and then the market became a small village. This is all hundreds of years ago, and when Ah Jiu's generation comes, this village is not small, not only monks come here to buy and sell things, but also monks in the mountains often come to buy some rice, flour, oil and salt, Ah Jiu often came here when he was a child The reason why he often came here was that there was once a family of chickens here, and his family raised a lot of old hens, and he stole an egg to eat every time he came. But what made him angry was that he was caught stealing eggs and eating them, and he had to be beaten, and some people didn't like to eat and others rushed to give them. The fat man in front of him doesn't know where to recruit people, every time they go down the mountain together, this family gives him eggs to eat......

Ah Jiu picked up the eggs in the tomato scrambled eggs and put them in his mouth, and asked casually: "Little bald donkey, I remember the year I went down the mountain, didn't you tell me that you were going to turn positive, and the Shaolin Temple was going to send you a degree, what kind of age are you?"

"Zhizi generation," the fat monk took a sip of draft beer, made a 'Ziha' sound, threw a few peanuts into his mouth, and said: "Don't mention it, Zhuan Zheng is turning positive, and gave me a Dharma name called 'Zhikong', Zhikong Zhikong, Zhikong Zhikong." Doesn't this mean that I'm stupid? Later, I spent money and asked the help of the Discipline Hall to get up for a lifetime, and now I am a Ming character generation, but the Dharma name is still not good, it is called Mingming. ”

Ah Jiu looked at the bright head and nodded: "People are as their name suggests." Not bad. ”

"But the good times didn't last long, and suddenly a spirit came down from above, and monks like me who spent money to do it were not counted in the establishment. Mingliang shook his big meat head, sneered, and said, "Then what can I do? How much money did I spend? Either pay back the money, or let me continue to be a monk, or give me compensation!"

"I united more than a dozen people who were in a similar situation to me, and squatted in front of the government for half a month. Later, the precept hall came to reconcile with me and allowed us to set up a stall at the mountain gate, but the condition was that it was still vulgar. I'm also twenty-four or five, and it's time to ask my mother-in-law, and besides, my father has spent a lot of money to set up this monk for me, originally I wanted to see if I could develop a little in my career, and I would also have a head seat or something. There's no chance for this, so it's better to be vulgar. Now there are so many tourists in Shaolin Temple, and a stall can make a living, you see my small family, isn't it good now. ”

Ah Jiu nodded and said, "It's pretty good, you just said your father...... Do you have a dad?"

"Of course!" said Mingminghehe, "who doesn't have a father." Haven't you seen my dad yet?"

Ah Jiu was surprised: "When did I see your father?"

"You have no conscience. Mingliang stretched out his chopsticks and pointed to the eggs in Ah Jiu's bowl: "When you were a child, you came to my house to steal eggs, and you didn't count them, what's the matter, the eggs were eaten." Don't you know the account?"

Ah Jiu suddenly cried and laughed, and said, "That's your home? I'm really strange, what kind of family do you have? Are you sick?"

"Who is sick! What do you know?" Mingliang snapped his fingers and said, "I'll settle accounts for you, you said that people of our age, twenty-seven or eight, even if you have a good education, you have the most salary of eighteen thousand a month, right? Even if you can earn twenty thousand, do you have me? My small stall, don't look small, this number a month!"

Mingliang stretched out his fat four fingers, and Ah Jiu was 'surprised': "Wow, it's okay, what about forty thousand?"

"That's!" Mingliang glanced at the inner room proudly, and lowered his voice: "Or can I marry such a good daughter-in-law? ”

"Hehehehe......" Ah Jiu laughed, thinking in his heart, the child is good, but is it really yours? Just your respectful face? But he didn't say it, he said it as if he was jealous, Ah Jiu thought of this, and suddenly his expression was stunned for a moment, and he found a problem, he seemed to be jealous.

"I've been talking about it for a long time, what about you, that year you said you were going down the mountain, and then the people disappeared, where did you go after going down the mountain? What are you doing?"

Ah Jiu shook his head, sighed, and said, "Walk blindly from all over the world, stay here for a few days, stay there for a few days, mess around, there is nothing to say." ”

"You can't go on like this," Mingliang frowned, and said: "When you were a child, you jumped up and down, beating this and that all day long, and you didn't learn well, how about now, it's not that I said you, you deserve it." ”

Ah Jiu laughed and said, "Little bald donkey, you started to teach me a lesson, what's the matter, now that you're mixing well, you're angry with me?"

"I'm so careful, don't talk about it, drink and drink, let me tell you, I have to drink draft beer this summer to quench my thirst!"

"Come on...... Ah Jiu touched his glass with Mingliang and took a big sip.

……

When he was almost drunk, Mingliang burped, staggered to his feet, and said, "This is not good in summer, I love to sweat too much, you wait, I'll go change my vest." ”

Ah Jiu helped him and said, "Go steady, by the way, call your girl out, and I'll talk to the child." ”

"What do you have to talk about, you, don't teach me badly. ”

But after a while, the little girl ran out of her mind.

"Uncle, isn't your relationship with my dad particularly good?"

Ah Jiu picked up the little girl and put it on his lap and said, "How do you see that I have a good relationship with your father?"

"Dad told Mom, let Mom take out the money and lend it to you, Dad can pick the door, never lend money to others, last year my uncle came to borrow money, my dad didn't borrow, he is willing to lend you, of course the relationship is good?"

"Borrow money?" Ah Jiu frowned slightly, the roots of his ears moved, and he ran his internal strength, and the sound of the inner room was in his ears.

“…… Zheng Mingming! There is no such person as you, my own brother comes to borrow money, and you are reluctant to pay 10,000 yuan, who is this person? Do I know him? Want to take money from me and lend him to him? Do you think! You dream!"

"I earned all the money, why can't I use it? I am willing to borrow from whomever I want! You still say that your brother? Your brother's virtue, is that a good thing? My buddy, don't look at him now, that's awesome, sooner or later he will get up, I lend him money now, it is equivalent to investment, you woman knows a fart!"

"I don't understand fart, don't talk to me about this, what investment is not invested, no! As soon as you make a move, it is 100,000 yuan, why are you so generous? Earn 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a month, half of which has to be given to the temple, and the rest of this money, the child is getting bigger and bigger, we can't buy a school district house? You lend it to him? He turned around and left, who am I looking for?"

"You woman, I can't control you anymore......"

Ah Jiu smiled, a little moved in his heart, he didn't speak, the little bald donkey could think of this, it was really worthy of beating him so many times when he was a child.

After thinking about it, Ah Jiu took out Long Sanba's wallet and took out the 10,000 yuan that had not been opened.

"Child, this is the New Year's money given to you by the Ninth Master, you take it. ”

"New Year's money?" The little girl took the money in her hand, thought for a while, and said, "Master Jiu, I am only two and a half years old, one hundred a year, how many years is this?"

"Uncle gives one thousand a year, this is ten years, you wait, when you are eleven years old, the ninth master will give it to you." ”

After speaking, Ah Jiu touched the child's head, smiled, got up and pushed the door out.

The little girl held the door frame and stared at Ah Jiu's back for a long time, then looked at the money in her hand, and ran back to the back room.

"Mom and Dad, the uncle is gone, and he still gave me New Year's money, saying that it was a ten-year ......"

Mingliang saw the money in the child's hand, snatched it over, and glared at his wife fiercely: "Let you shout, let you shout, let my buddy hear, you, you, you said you, he was not very good, but he had a good face, didn't you force him!"

"You bring it to me! What does it have to do with you? Niuniu, mom will take it for you first. ”

"Alas......" Mingliang sighed, grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on, and ran out to chase Ah Jiu, but it was already dark, and there were many paths up the mountain, how did he know which way Ah Jiu was taking, standing at the door for a while, sighed, turned back again, and muttered straight in his mouth: "I didn't help and pit people for 10,000 yuan, this thing is complete, this thing is ......" (to be continued.) )
