Fangjia Buddha Hall

The old lady of the Fang family wore a dark brown dark flower cloud brocade jacket, kneeling on the futon in front of the statue of Guanyin with her eyes closed.

Beside her knelt was a white-robed young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, full of luxury, but far less steady and dignified than the old lady, but constantly twisting around, quietly rubbing his knees that were hurting.

"Do you know why I made you kneel?" The old lady of the Fang family, hearing the movement beside her, opened her eyes and said in a deep voice.

"My grandson doesn't know."

"Then you are on your knees here! When to know when to get up. ”

"Grandma, in fact, I know why you made me kneel, but this time I don't feel that I was wrong, if she hadn't done something from it, Mr. Zhao wouldn't have repeatedly shirked taking me as an apprentice." In the end, the young man couldn't hold his breath, and the young man in white was not angry.

"Since you know that she can't get along with you, why don't you do some superficial work and say something nice?" The old lady hated iron and said: "At this point, you can't compare to Luo Qinghe!" ”

"She is a little girl, how can she see those scourges behind her back!"

"Little girl?!" The old lady snorted coldly and said: "Her mother was tossed like that by Aunt Zhou that day, everyone will know that there is a cat in the middle, if she is not an understanding person, how can she act like that?" You see that she said in front of Mr. Zhao in an orderly manner, if it weren't for her, who would have kept Mr. Zhao? ”

"If she is really so powerful, she will know that she and her mother have been bullied in the Fang family, but she doesn't know how to resist at all, and she will bow her eyebrows to the second lady, and it seems that she is also a person who tends to be inflammatory, and has no self-esteem!" The young man in white was very unconvinced, and argued with his neck stalked.

"Self-esteem? I think you haven't suffered since you were a child! If that girl wasn't for the family's livelihood, how could she suffer from that nest? If our family depends on you to feed us, I'm afraid everyone will starve their teeth dry! The old lady shook her head and sighed, thinking that her grandson had been clothed and fed since he was a child, and he really didn't know the suffering of the world.

"How can I not be reliable?! Even if it's picking sand! I can afford to raise a family, too! The young man in white swore an oath.

"Come on! Where can your character give you this bite to eat? “

"Do you know that a little girl gritted her teeth and came to this mansion to make a living for her mother, and your second aunt still has the heart to get along with her, and that girl is already difficult to protect herself. But yesterday, I thought of the little favor you gave her mother, came out to speak for you, and did not offend your second uncle, she did such a difficult thing, what else do you want her to do? The old lady saw that her grandson was really arrogant, so she simply opened her words.

"If she really has high self-esteem as you said, and can ruthlessly let the family quit her job for eating chaff for the New Year, and never come to Fang's house, then who will persuade Mr. Zhao to stay?"

"I... I..."The young man in white knew that he didn't have this ability, and he was speechless for a while.

"Child, I understand that you are a backbone, but things in the world are very complicated, not as expected, the steel is straight and easy to break, sometimes you need to use some roundabout and tactful means to do things, you must not fight hard!"

"Just like that day, you led a donkey for Luo Qinghe and her mother, grandma knows that you are just kind-hearted, but do you know what the second uncle said when she came to me?" At the mention of this, although the old lady had no waves on her face, her right hand pinched the Buddha beads tightly.

"What did she say?" The young man in white wondered.

"Your second aunt came to me and said that she wanted to put a few maids in your room, saying that she was afraid that you would be fascinated by the middle-aged woman who was a little beautiful because there was no woman around, and said that she wanted to guard against you, for fear that you would humiliate the Fang family." The old lady said slowly.

"She... She's spewing blood! When the young man in white heard this, his face was flushed with anger, and he was about to stand up and go to the second lady to argue well.

"What are you anxious about?" The old lady rebuked:

"I told you all in vain! What are you going to do here? Quarrel with her? I tell you, if you win, you are at fault for being disrespectful to your elders; If you lose, wouldn't it be true that you have distracting thoughts about that half-aged? ”

"Then I'll let her pass on right and wrong like that!" The young man in white said indignantly.

"Grandson, it's time for you to grow up too! Grandma's old bones can't protect you for long! If you can't stand on your own, how can you have a place in this family in the future? ”

Now that there are wolves and tigers in front of him, and his grandson is still so upright and naïve, how can he fight those old foxes in the future? The old lady only felt sadness coming from this, and couldn't help choking a little.

"Grandma..."Seeing this, the young man in white suddenly blamed himself, and hurriedly came back honestly, knelt beside the old lady and bowed his head.

"Grandson, although you are considered to be miserable in this Fang family, but look at Luo Qinghe again, this little man has no father, and now the family is still poor, and she is all dependent on her to maintain it alone, why is she not much more bitter than you? Even she didn't bow her head, what are you afraid of a dignified seven-foot man? Seeing that her grandson was deeply shocked, the old lady knew that the words were serious, and hurriedly said comfortingly:

"Actually, now grandma can still be the master of the Fang family, as long as you calm down and learn to behave in the world, why worry about not having a world without you in the future!"

"Besides, your second aunt dares to be domineering now, but it's because I let her be the housekeeper, no matter how rich her family is, she is just a businessman, and she doesn't know a few big characters, what power does she have? What you have to do now is not to live up to your father's hard work, Mr. Zhao is not a simple person, if you can learn half of his skills, you will not have to be subservient in the future! ”

Hearing the old lady's words, the young man in white seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, nodded and said firmly: "Grandma, don't worry, I will work hard!" But right now, this Mr. Zhao ......"

"Don't worry," Seeing that the young man in white had indeed listened to this, the old lady was very pleased, so she smiled: "Since Mr. Zhao has already said that he will stay in the Fang Mansion to guide you for a few days, you will behave well in those days, if you can please Mr. Zhao, he will definitely agree to your apprenticeship." ”

"Don't worry, with grandma here, there is a way for you to get close to Mr. Zhao."

"Grandma, I will definitely try!" The young man in white nodded, "I'll go back to study now, and behave well in front of Mr. Zhao when the time comes." ”

"Let's go!" The old lady nodded in response, but after the young man in white left, the old lady was full of sadness.

"Old lady, the young master is a blessed person at first glance, and he will naturally rise to prominence in the future." Seeing this, the grandmother beside the old lady hurriedly helped the old lady up and comforted her gently.

"I hope so!" After the old lady got up, she looked at the thick stack of letters in the corner of the bookshelf in a daze, and said melancholy: "This child has lost his mother since he was a child, and his father is of little use, how can God be so unfair?" ”

"Old lady, the past has passed, our young master is very kind-hearted, and they all say that kindness is rewarded, no, he just helped Yueniang that day, Luo Qinghe thought of this kindness, and left Mr. Zhao behind...... But this Luo Qinghe is also a smart child! The old lady mentioned Luo Qinghe, and her tone was appreciative.

"Luo Qinghe is indeed smart, but I'm a little worried, that kid is young, if he is smart but is mistaken by smart, he will inevitably get into trouble and hurt himself!" The old lady held her grandmother's hand and walked slowly to the back room.

"I don't think it's possible..."Mama wanted to say something again, but she suddenly saw a figure flashing at the door, and she was about to shout subconsciously, but she was suddenly pinched by the old lady's hand.

"It's okay, you go to Brother An first now, and tell him to study well, don't show cowardice in front of Mr. Zhao and lose face for the Fang family."

"Yes." Mama answered in a low voice, helped the old lady to the soft couch and left.

Back kitchen

Since Luo Qinghe listened to Cui Ling's words, he has been honestly squatting in the stove pit and watching the fire, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

The pot was boiling with stone fish maw, but Luo Qinghe was still confused, not knowing how to season it to meet Mr. Zhao's wishes.

"Qinghe, why don't you ask the chef, she has worked in this kitchen for many years and is very experienced." Aunt Qian couldn't stand it anymore, so she raised it out loud.

"Didn't I say, people are big families who run dim sum shops, and they are well-informed, how can they take a fancy to the ideas of us countrymen? This Miss Luo was rewarded as soon as she came yesterday, so you need to worry about her? "Aunt Zhou, who finally caught some tricks, naturally won't let go of this opportunity to mock people.

If she was usually so sarcastic, Luo Qinghe would have turned her face a long time ago, but now she said with a look of grievance: "Aunt Zhou just said that because she thinks that I am not good at doing things and am not qualified to work in the back kitchen?" ”

Luo Qinghe wiped his tears and said that his situation was very miserable: "But I still have two old people and a sick mother to support in my family, and now only the Fang family is willing to take me in, if I even lose this job, I really don't know how to maintain my life at home......"

When Aunt Qian heard this, she immediately felt pity, thinking that Luo Qinghe, this girl's family, was so difficult, and she was willing to give it to everyone after she got a reward yesterday...... Truly selfish people don't be so generous.

immediately took two steps forward and said sincerely: "You kid, how can we drive you away?" But we really don't know Mr. Zhao's taste, why don't you ask someone else? ”

When Luo Qinghe heard this, he wiped his tears, and blessed everyone in the kitchen with these words, and whispered: "Since I was a child, my family is tired of making a living, maybe there are some rules that I haven't learned, if there is really anything wrong, please mention it, even if it is beating and scolding, I will bear it, just to let me work here for a while, even if it is to save some money for food." ”

Seeing her sad appearance, Aunt Zhou was afraid that no matter how presumptuous she was, she would arouse the anger of the public, and she couldn't say anything about the bitterness in her mouth.

Luo Qinghe's appearance even the chef's mother drummed in her heart when she saw it: I thought this was a powerful girl, but now this pitiful appearance really doesn't look like a smart person.

The people in the back kitchen were a little soft-hearted when they saw her crying like this, and they couldn't help but relax their vigilance: she is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, what else can she do?

"Forget it...... You little girl, what can we bully you? I understand that your family is in trouble, and there is nothing going on in this kitchen right now, so you should go back sooner. The chef sighed and waved her hand.

"No, no, no! Originally, I accepted your help, how embarrassed to leave early! Luo Qinghe waved his hand again and again, and said resolutely.

"Otherwise, you say that you really can't think of how to improve the dim sum in this back kitchen, and you want to go to the other dim sum shops in the town to inquire about it?" Aunt Qian was very enthusiastic, and immediately thought of a reason for Luo Qinghe.

The chef also nodded slightly, and then Luo Qinghe agreed, and cut out the door sadly.

As soon as she walked out of the door of the Fang family, she changed her pitiful appearance and smiled triumphantly.

I used to look down on the White Lotus Green Tea's pretending to be pitiful, but I didn't expect that today's show is really useful, how can you let everyone let down their guard against her if she doesn't pretend to be pitiful?

Luo Qinghe was secretly proud, but suddenly heard someone behind her shouting to her: "Miss Qinghe!" ”

Luo Qinghe was startled and turned around.

"Miss Qinghe, my young master said that this may be useful." I saw Langmo trotting after him and handed Luo Qinghe a small jar.
