Chapter 4: I Want to Eat Chicken

Li Hanyao ran into the mourning hall and called "Daddy".

Li Zhuohang was kneeling in front of the spirit and silently burning paper money, when he heard the sound, he turned his head, and when he saw his daughter, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes skimmed behind her - why did his daughter come alone and follow her maid? is so careless, let the girl run around, the front is all male guests, there are many people and miscellaneous, what if you are bumped in?

Hongye rushed in from behind, met Li Zhuohang's condemning gaze, his heart suddenly suddenly, and he hurriedly bent his knees and replied: "Master, the girl is making trouble......"

Li Zhuohang raised his hand to stop her from going on, and turned his face to look at Li Hanyao.

Li Hanyao knelt down on the futon beside him, first kowtowed three times to the coffin, and then grabbed a stack of paper money, uncovered them one by one and threw them into the brazier. She had done this job many times with her father and mother a few days ago, and she was very skilled.

Li Zhuohang looked at his well-behaved and sensible daughter, and felt pity in his heart, and asked softly, "Why are you here?" Have you eaten it? ”

Li Hanyao's head was also knocked and the paper was burned, so he got down to business - he raised his little face and said, "I haven't eaten yet." Daddy, I want to eat chicken. ”

Li Zhuohang was stunned-

His daughter is looking for him just because she wants to eat chicken?

He blurted out that he wanted to say, "Just ask the kitchen to do it", but suddenly remembered that they were keeping filial piety and eating vegetarian food, so he immediately shut up and didn't know how to answer.

Someone thought it was funny and smiled.

Li Zhuoyuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief: Did you think too much about it before? Li Hanyao is only a few years old, and she is still making a fuss about eating, so there is no need to worry.

One of Li Zhuohang's brothers, named Li Zhuoer, is honest and has a good relationship with Li Zhuohang, so he smiled at this time: "Big girl, I'm afraid I will have to boil for a while if I want to eat chicken." You are now observing filial piety, and you cannot eat meat. ”

Seeing that her father did not agree immediately, Li Hanyao was a little apprehensive, and replied to Li Zhuoer with a smile and sly: "I don't eat meat, I am a vegetarian." ”

Li Zhuoer patiently explained: "Chickens are meat. ”

Li Hanyao blinked his eyes twice and said, "I eat vegetarian chicken." ”

Li Zhuoer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Chickens are not vegetarian, chickens are meat dishes." ”

Li Hanyao said: "That vegetarian chicken." ”

Li Zhuoer said: "......"

He was a little dizzy, and he thought for a while before he reacted: vegetarian chickens are also meat chickens!

Everyone laughed when they saw his depressed appearance.

Li Zhuohang touched the small bag on his daughter's head and didn't speak. He had insight into his daughter's careful thoughts: This is coquettish to herself, and she wants to eat chicken. He didn't blame, he was still a little distressed, and he accused his mother in his heart, "The child is still young."

Li Zhuoyuan lives in the west of Yuezhuang, and he is the chief in his room, and people call him "Master Li in the west of the village". He has a square face, a short beard on his upper lip, and he usually does not smile, and he looks quite majestic.

He thought that his son Li Tianming was going to succeed Li Zhuohang as his heir, and he would be brother and sister with Li Hanyao in the future. He had the heart to say a few words, but he was afraid that Li Hanyao would be messing around.

Suddenly I caught a glimpse of the coffin, and suddenly I had an idea.

He said to Li Hanyao: "Eating a vegetarian during the filial piety period is the remembrance and mourning of the deceased. Your father and mother are vegetarians; Also, your grandmother was also a vegetarian during her lifetime and made a wish for the Li family in front of the Bodhisattva. As a granddaughter, you are a vegetarian not only to mourn your grandmother, but also to repay her wishes. This is filial piety and filial piety! ”

Li Zhuohang listened, lowered his eyes indifferently, and burned paper money silently.

Li Hanyao doesn't like Li Zhuoyuan, who has a straight face, not like her father at all, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. The tone of the other party's lesson made her vigilant and disgusted, and she straightened her waist at the moment and said to Li Zhuoyuan: "You coax me!" ”

Li Zhuoyuan frowned, "How can I coax you?" ”

Li Hanyao said: "The old grandmother is old, so she has to stew chicken soup for her to drink, so that her body and bones can be raised." How is it filial piety to be a vegetarian? My father is not at home, so you bully my grandmother and don't give her a good meal! ”

Li Zhuoyuan glared in disbelief-

What the hell is this kid?!

He said patiently: "We don't live with your grandmother, we don't eat in the same pot, how can we bully her?" What did this kid say! ”

The last sentence was addressed to Li Zhuohang.

Li Zhuohang looked up at him and said with a smile: "If you are a child, your cousin should also take it seriously?" "β€”you are the one who brought shame on yourself!

He bowed his head to Li Hanyao and said, "Don't talk nonsense." Your uncle and we are not a family, so we are far apart. Everyone lives his own life, and what your grandmother eats is not on the head of outsiders. Quickly make amends to your uncle. ”

Li Zhuoyuan: "......"

"It's not a family", "far away" and "outsiders", how does he think that Li Zhuohang said it on purpose, and it means something?

Li Hanyao was reluctant, but obediently waved at Li Zhuoyuan, and said in a glutinous voice: "Uncle, don't be angry." Yao'er said the wrong thing, I'm sorry. ”

Li Zhuoyuan smiled strongly: "That's it." ”

There is a doctor Huang in the hall, who is one of the few families with different surnames in Yuezhuang, who was sponsored by the Li family to study at Qingshan Medical College, and practiced medicine in this area after returning.

He said: "Although Miss Li is a child, the old lady has been a vegetarian for a long time, so that she lost her recuperation during her illness, and the more it dragged on, the more serious it became, and she ......."

Li Zhuohang said sullenly: "Mother doesn't listen to my advice, she must be a vegetarian, and she also listened to other people's words, thinking that worshipping Buddha can make the Li family's heirs prosperous." ”

Now Li Zhuoyuan and the others are not easy to answer. - These other people, Zuo is just those old people in the clan, if they are investigated, I am afraid that their families will be implicated.

Li Hanyao was a little anxious in her heart-

Why is it getting farther and farther?

Her chickens, what to do?

The atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing, and a big monk said with a smile: "Vegetarianism does not necessarily mean that you are not in good health." The old man has been a vegetarian all his life and is in good health. The old lady's illness was mainly a heart disease. The knot in the heart is difficult to solve, and eating the elixir will not work. ”

This time, Li Zhuohang's face was ugly.

The great monk hurriedly said: "However, the old lady has been a vegetarian for a long time and does not kill, which is to accumulate merit and eliminate karma for the Li family. The Li family was originally a benevolent family, and often built roads and bridges and helped the victims, but the old lady thought that the old lady was a meritorious person and went to Elysium. Master Li doesn't have to be sad for the old lady......"

Li Hanyao asked, "What is Lao Gao?" ”

The great monk was determined, and in the face of the little girl's flickering apricot eyes, he smiled peacefully and said: "The old man is not a thing, he is the self-proclaimed name of a poor monk." It's meβ€”" He was afraid that Li Hanyao would ask again, "What is the poor monk", and pointed his index finger at the tip of his nose.

Li Hanyao let out an "oh" and nodded.

The great monk continued, "Eating a vegetarian diet and abstaining from greed can reduce sin and eliminate karma. My Buddha is compassionate......" He actually preached the Dharma to Li Hanyao. In order to make Li Hanyao understand, he deliberately gave a simple example to warn the little girl to have good thoughts and not to kill, not only can she not eat chickens, but she can't hurt them like birds and ants.

Li Zhuohang's face sank and he looked at the great monk.

This bald donkey wants to let his daughter into the empty door?

Li Hanyao said loudly: "You liar! ”

She can hear it, this great monk said so much, it is nothing more than one meaning: if she is not allowed to eat chicken, she will not be kind if she eats chicken.
