Chapter 82: When the Bodhisattva Makes an Offering
Chapter 82
At this time, there were a lot of people in the courtyard, watching Li being beaten by Xu Lao Er crying and shouting, but no one stepped forward to protect the frame, and the culprit Xu Zijie had long been frightened and hid to the side secretly aiming at it and didn't dare to make a sound, completely forgetting that his mother was beaten because of him.
It wasn't until Xu Erlang came back from outside that he hurriedly stepped forward to pull his father away, and at this time, the Li family on the ground had no strength to snort after being beaten by Xu Laoer, and his face was swollen, and Xu Erlang took a lot of effort to help Li into the house.
Cheng Xi tried to hold back the gloating smile on his lips, slandering in his heart, and being beaten in his Chinese New Year's Eve, this Li was really the first one.
After watching the excitement, Cheng Xi said to Ma Shi on the side, "But is there anything I can help with?" ”
This Cheng Fang responded in time, "Of course it's best if you can come to help, last time I went back to my parents' house with you to taste your craft, I have never forgotten it, now it is better to show you a hand, so that everyone can also taste your craft." ”
Cheng Xi regretted it a little at this time, why did he ask this, wouldn't it be good to stay in the wing room and wait for dinner?
But when it came to this, Cheng Xi could only nod his head.
Cheng Xi beckoned Xu Sanlang and asked him to take Bai Sui back to the wing room first, and after seeing the two leave, Cheng Xi planned to go to the kitchen with Ma's Cheng Fang, not wanting Cheng Xi to just take a step, and the old lady Xu, who had been sitting in the courtyard with a gloomy face, suddenly said, "Wait, Miss Xi, did you beat Zijie today?" ”
It seems that Mrs. Xu doesn't seem to plan to settle the account like this, and wants to settle accounts with Cheng Xi after the autumn, of course Cheng Xi will not admit it, so she will die and deny it, "Milk, you can wronged me, I didn't beat Zijie, but Zijie, I really should be disciplined well, if I don't help my family, forget it, and instigate some wild children to bully my family." ”
Originally, because the Li family was beaten, Xu Zijie, who was worried about being implicated and hiding far away, finally couldn't help but say after hearing Cheng Xide's words, "You obviously beat it, just now the second sister said it, and she also saw it." ”
Cheng Xi's eyes narrowed, and he smiled and hooked his fingers over Xu Zijie, where would Xu Zijie listen to Cheng Xi, his head shook like a rattle, and said, "Do you want to beat me again, I won't come, milk you see, she wants to beat me again in front of you." ”
Cheng Xi had a smile on his face, and said with a harmless face, "What are you talking nonsense?" I asked you to come here because I had something to tell you, but you'll regret it. ”
Everyone has curiosity, especially six or seven-year-old children, who are even more curious, and if they hear Cheng Xi say that they will regret it, Xu Zijie can't help but lean over slowly.
After Xu Zijie got closer, Cheng Xi made a lightning move, quickly gave Xu Zijie a brain breakdown, and reprimanded, "It's not big or small, are you talking to the third sister-in-law like this?" If you are obedient, I will teach you a lesson? In the future, you are not allowed to talk nonsense outside to ruin the reputation of the Xu family, and you are not allowed to bully your own family with wild children outside, you know? ”
Cheng Xi looked like he was beating people and teaching children, teaching Xu Zijie in a good way, and didn't forget to give Xu Zijie a few more brainstormed children, this look, no matter what, it looks like an adult is teaching children, the old lady has a gloomy face, looking at Cheng Xi obviously beating Xu Zijie, but she doesn't know how to stop it.
Xu Zijie was beaten again, glared angrily and was about to have a seizure, but Xu Wenyu, who didn't want to speak all the time, said gloomily, "Did you hear what your third sister-in-law said?" Wandering around outside all day with nothing to do, fooling around with a group of wild children in the countryside, and not knowing how to read more books? I still want to go to the county town to study, but I don't need to see you like this. ”
As soon as Mrs. Xu heard Xu Wenyu open her mouth, and her words were amazing, where did she have time to talk to Cheng Xi about beating Xu Zijie, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to help Xu Zijie speak, and said to her talented son Xu Wenyu, "Where is this kid not naughty, besides, isn't this the New Year, just go out to play for a while, usually Zijie has to study hard at home, just waiting for you to arrange to go to the county school." ”
Xu Wenyu turned his head and said to Mrs. Xu, "Mother, you are sometimes too soft-hearted, look at how many people in this family really listen to you now?" All of them are in defiance of the yang and the yin, and if this continues, our Xu family will be tossed and scattered. ”
Although Xu Wenyu is suspected of deliberately currying favor with Cheng Xi in this way, in fact, Xu Wenyu is also a little annoyed by the Xu family, knowing that he wants to have a good relationship with Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi and profit from it, this Xu family is good, they go against him everywhere, and they have warned him many times, but they don't take his words to heart at all, and in a blink of an eye, they are facing Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi again, isn't this deliberately demolishing him?
Cheng Xi didn't bother to talk to Mrs. Xu, while listening to Xu Wenyu's words, she followed Ma into the kitchen, anyway, with Xu Wenyu stopping her, Mrs. Xu shouldn't continue to entangle.
After Cheng Xi left, Xu Wenyu whispered to his mother, "Mother, I have already said that this Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang are not simple now, they have met a noble person, it is different from before, I will still count on them to introduce me in the future, now these two are the living bodhisattvas of our family, I have to offer them well, but look at these people in our family, isn't this deliberately against me?" ”
Mrs. Xu frowned slightly and said, "Look at that cheap girl, it's just an inch, I've tried my best to put up with her, but she still beats people, and beats Zijie in front of us......"
Xu Wenyu listened to the old lady's topic turn around and turn to Xu Zijie's head, so he said with a gloomy face, "Mother, Zijie's virtue has been taught by his mother, you have to be used to being like the second sister-in-law again, and you will definitely get used to a Xu Erlang again." ”
Listening to the tone of Xu Wenyu's words, he was completely disappointed in Xu Erlang, if Cheng Xi heard this, he would definitely laugh happily, he spared no effort to provoke, and finally achieved results.
How could Mrs. Xu admit that her grandson was useless, but she couldn't refute the words of the fourth son, so she only sighed and said, "Hey, I'm old, I can't take care of anything, so let your affairs go with you." ”
As he spoke, he got up and went to his room.
Ma promised Cheng Xi to help in the kitchen, but he also wanted to find an excuse for Cheng Xi to leave, so as not to be entangled in the courtyard, and when he got to the kitchen, where would Ma let Cheng Xi do it, his son and daughter were counting on her, but he couldn't provide for it.
Cheng Xi originally came to help sincerely, seeing that Ma didn't let her interfere, she was happy and relaxed, and worked in the kitchen, Cheng Fang knew that Cheng Xi's craftsmanship was much better than her and Ma's, but Ma looked distressed about Cheng Xi, and she didn't let Cheng Xi do it, and she couldn't say anything.
After staying in the kitchen for a while, in addition to the amount of dishes, there are only a few, Ma and Cheng Fang are enough, Cheng Xi looks at it and has nothing to do with himself, he said hello to the two, and went back to the wing, on the way back, he could still hear the crying from Li's house.
As soon as he returned to the wing, the hundred-year-old couldn't wait to rush towards Cheng Xi, and kept shouting, "Cousin-in-law, tell a story, the story told by my cousin is not good." ”
Cheng Xi heard that the hundred-year-old cousin-in-law was really awkward, and while picking up the hundred-year-old and going to the charcoal brazier, she said, "If you want to hear the story, you can not call your cousin-in-law in the future." ”
Bai Sui looked at Cheng Xi suspiciously, "Why?" If you are your cousin's daughter-in-law, you should be called your cousin. ”
Cheng Xi didn't pay attention, as soon as her words came out, there was not only a hundred years old in this room who looked puzzled, but there was also a person who directly blackened his face and stared at her without blinking.
Cheng Xi sat down by the charcoal brazier with a hundred-year-old in his arms, and didn't notice the strangeness of Xu Sanlang next to him, and opened his mouth to explain the hundred-year-old in his arms, "You see that I am so young, you still call me my cousin-in-law, don't you call me old?" And my cousin-in-law is not good at all, so I will call my sister in the future. ”
Xu Saburo on the side couldn't help but say coldly with a dark face, "My cousin is my cousin, how can I call my sister indiscriminately." ”
Cheng Xi found out that something was wrong with Xu Saburo next to him, this tone was obviously different from usual, if he didn't understand Xu Saburo at first, he would have thought that he had always been like this, and there was nothing wrong, but Cheng Xi had stayed with Xu Saburo for a long time, but he clearly felt that Xu Saburo was definitely angry at this time.
Cheng Xi turned his head and looked at Xu Sanlang with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xu Sanlang did not answer Cheng Xide's question, but said to the centenarian in Cheng Xi's arms, "Call my cousin." ”
The hundred-year-old raised his head to look at Xu Sanlang, and then at Cheng Xi, frowning and embarrassed, but Cheng Xi always felt that it was strange to be called his cousin, so he pouted unhappily, and muttered and complained, "Cousin and cousin, it's a lot of life to scream." ”
"Then call my brother and sister-in-law, 100 years old, so let's call it that in the future."
Cheng Xi saw that Xu Saburo was so serious about this title, she didn't bother to be entangled, and she curled her mouth and responded, "What do you love, what story do you want to hear at the age of 100?" ”
Hearing that Cheng Xi was finally going to tell him a story, Bai Sui said excitedly, "I still want to listen to yesterday's story of the Monkey King." ”
Cheng Xi looked at such a well-behaved and cute hundred-year-old, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch the hundred-year-old's little face, and responded with a smile, "Okay, let's continue yesterday's story." ”
After pinching the hundred-year-old face, Cheng Xi told the story and thought in his heart, the hundred-year-old is still too thin, and there is no meat on his face, and he will work hard to raise the hundred-year-old chubby in the future, and he will definitely be more cute and cute.
When Cheng Xi told the story to the two, time flew by, and the hundred-year-old Xu Sanlang hadn't even heard it, and Xu Lan, who was blinking an eye, came over and asked a few people to go to the main house for dinner.
A few people went over, looking at the two tables of sumptuous meals, and while the Xu family had not come to the table, Cheng Xi pulled Xu Sanlang's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Isn't the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner eaten at night?" Is it so rich at noon? ”
Xu Saburo also whispered, "Eat dumplings at night." ”
At this time, except for Xu Wenyu and Xu Wenqiang, who had already come to the table and sat down, everyone else had not yet come to the table, Xu Wenqiang saw the two of them enter the door, so he beckoned to the two with his hypocritical smile, "Come and sit." ”
Xu Sanlang picked up the hundred-year-old, and the two of them were not polite, they sat down in the old position in the past, and then the rest of the Xu family also served the table one after another, only Ma and Xu Lan were still serving food on the table, but they didn't see Li come out.
After the old lady sat down on the first place, she saw the hundred-year-old in Xu Sanlang's arms, and said, "Little baby, let him go to the table over there." ”
