Since ancient times, beauties have been matched with heroes, although Xiao Qiang's appearance is okay, but he is definitely not the kind of handsome and handsome man, such a beautiful and charming girl can put down her body and fall in love with him, naturally she is in love with his ability. Thinking about this, Xiao Weiguo, who was on crutches, glanced at Xiao Qiang thoughtfully, and the worry in the corners of his eyes gradually faded.

"Xiao Qiang? You're here, come on, chat with your grandfather, third aunt and fourth uncle, I'm going to cook, let's have dinner together in a while. Zhang Cuihua, who happened to come out of the side room at this moment, put on an apron and carried fruits, she walked over and smiled after seeing Xiao Qiang and Zhang Jingyi, "Jingyi is also here?" Hehe, tired of riding in the car, right? Come, eat some fruit first, I'll cook a few dishes, and I'll be able to cook in a while. ”

"Mom, don't be in a hurry to eat, let's talk about things first, right?" Xiao Qiang already vaguely knew what his adoptive mother Zhang Cuihua was calling back to Yong'an County for, and how could he be in any mood to eat, so he said bluntly, "If you don't make it clear in advance, I'm afraid I won't have an appetite." ”

"You kid...... How to speak? Zhang Cuihua walked up to him and glared at him in a low voice, and then said with a smile, "Xiao Qiang, let's talk about something different after dinner!" ”

"Auntie, you accompany Xiao Qiang to talk about things, and I'll go cook." Zhang Jingyi saw that Xiao Qiang wanted to talk about things first, so she immediately volunteered to smile and say, "Auntie, I also want you to taste my craftsmanship, the kitchen is downstairs, right?" I'm going to cook a few specialty dishes and give you a taste. ”

"This ...... How embarrassing is this, Jingyi......"

Zhang Cuihua was about to refuse, but unexpectedly Xiao Qiang said, "Jingyi cooks very well, she wants to do her filial piety and let her cook it." Mom, let's sit together, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to talk to you. ”

Seeing Xiao Qiang say this, Zhang Cuihua could only say to Zhang Jingyi embarrassedly, "Jingyi, then I'm sorry to trouble you." ”

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, it's too late for me to be happy, don't worry, I promise to complete the task." Zhang Jingyi smiled sweetly, took the initiative to help Zhang Cuihua untie her apron and put it on herself, and went downstairs without saying a word to prepare dinner.

"Cuihua, you are really happy, this daughter-in-law is beautiful and smart, and the key is that she is so hardworking, she is really blessed......" At this time, grandfather Xiao Weiguo said loudly, "I see that the boss has a spirit in the sky for ten thousand years, and I will feel gratified, right?" ”

"That's it, the eldest brother's life is not good, he went so early, otherwise he would definitely be able to enjoy his son's blessings, such a big villa...... How comfortable it is to live all day...... "The third aunt Xiao Wanfeng said with envy, "It's still Xiao Qiang, this kid has the ability, look at my kid, he didn't want to study and drop out of school when he was in the second year ......of high school, and now he knows that he is idle all day long, and he has no ability at all."

Xiao Qiang couldn't help but hear this, and sneered, "Third aunt, grandpa, I said you don't slap my ass there, I know very well in my heart, this is not your original intention, let's say, why are you here today?" Your old Xiao family is the master of the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. However, I declare in advance that I welcome to come to relatives for a light meal, but if you want me to help you with anything, you don't have to talk about it, I am a college student all the year round, and now everything in the county has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to get involved. ”

In fact, even if they don't talk about Xiao Qiang, they know that if these old Xiao family people don't ask for him, they will pat him on the back? Dream on! So as soon as they opened their mouths, Xiao Qiang knew that these guys must not have any good goods in their stomachs, so they simply refused directly to save upset.

Xiao Qiang's ruthless words suddenly made these people of the old Xiao family look embarrassed, and at this time, Zhang Cuihua said with a straight face, "Xiao Qiang, you go into the room for me, I have something to say to you." ”

"Mom!!" Xiao Qiang knew that his adoptive mother Zhang Cuihua was good at everything, but she was too soft-hearted. Although this old Xiao family is a relative of his adoptive father Xiao Wannian, it doesn't mean that he must obey them! After the death of their adoptive father Xiao Wannian, where did they help themselves like relatives? It's good not to fall into the well! Now that I see that I am developed and rich, I want to talk about family affection and ask for help, how can there be such a reason in the world?

"Come here!" Zhang Cuihua didn't care what Xiao Qiang wanted to say, and Xiao Qiang had to stand up obediently and walk into the pantry next to her with her.

Zhang Cuihua closed the door and said with a straight face, "Xiao Qiang, I know that you don't like to see the people of the old Xiao family, but have you thought about it?" Those people are your adoptive father's relatives, and that's the grandfather who brought your adoptive father up! If you do this, you will make your adoptive father bear the charge of unfilial piety, how can you let your adoptive father feel at ease in heaven? No matter what people do to us, we can't do this to others! To your relatives, you must repay your grievances with virtue, you know? Blind hatred can't change anything, what can really be picked up and put down is the real hero! ”

"Mom, I understand these truths, but I really can't let go of you! When the second uncle killed his father, these relatives sneered and fell into the well everywhere, and now they are shamelessly begging us, why do you think I want to help them? Anyway...... Anyway, I can't let it go, and I don't want to be a real hero. Xiao Qiang tilted his head, obviously a little stubborn.

Zhang Cuihua sighed and said, "Why? Not on any basis, just because of the kindness of your adoptive father who raised you with hard work, you should also help the old Xiao family! Xiao Qiang, you grew up and learned everything, but you didn't learn your father's tolerance and benevolence. Your father repaid his grievances with virtue to his family back then, and he already knew about the things your second uncle did back then, but why did the ledger keep in the room? Although I didn't know it at the time, but now I understand it, it's because your father is unwilling to report your second uncle, and would rather commit suicide by being wronged and taking poison than doing something that harms his relatives! ”

Xiao Qiang stood in place, clenched his fists and didn't speak for a long time.

"Sometimes, people don't just live for hatred, but they have to let go of hatred to really become a Buddha!" Zhang Cuihua said earnestly, "You are still young, although you have the ability and ability, but you always blame this qiē on your own efforts, but have you thought about it?" There is no cause and effect? Hatred blinds you and fills your heart with anger and anger, forgetting compassion and gratitude. When you can really be considerate of others in every way, when you are truly mature and grown. Only benevolent people are truly admirable. ”

Xiao Qiang was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and said a little puzzled, "Mom...... Did you come up with these words yourself? ”

"Some of them are, and some of them are taught by the monks in my Buddhist classes." Zhang Cuihua smiled and said, "When people are old, they have to have some sustenance and learn some principles of life." So I signed up for a Dharma class, listened to the lectures, thought about it, and realized my life. ”

Xiao Qiang was silent for a long time and then nodded and said, "What you said is right, people shouldn't just remember hatred and live, it's really too tiring." But my view is a little different from yours, compassion and kindness are needed, but they are not absolute. Everything has to be grasped to a degree, hatred is like this, so is gratitude, too much emphasis on any one aspect will not work. These people from the old Xiao family, I don't need to help them, but just say this to you, it depends on my father's face in the spirit of heaven, okay, I'll help them this time. The third uncle and the fourth uncle both want to enter the jade factory to make an iron rice bowl, right? Okay, I'll call Uncle Xia and ask him to deal with it, don't worry. As for the third aunt's son who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, if he wants to go to work, I will introduce him to the unit, and if he wants to do business on his own, I will give him a sum of money, so it's okay, right? ”

When Zhang Cuihua heard this, she said helplessly, "Silly boy, you are wrong, this time the people of the old Xiao family are not here to work, but they are indeed in trouble." This is ...... I'm afraid it has something to do with us. ”
