Tang Chen hurriedly said: "Elder Zeng, I'll come, you guys are old, rest and rest......"

Zeng Lao stopped Tang Chen, who was about to walk to the kitchen, and said seriously: "Master Tang, we are a little older than you, but we still have the ability to cook a meal." To be honest, we didn't do anything to help in the first place, and we were guilty enough. Now it's just a matter of cooking a meal, and you'll let us take the scoop once!"

Zeng Lao said that it was okay for Tang Chen to refuse, but he couldn't help it: "How embarrassing is this?"

"Don't you believe in our strength?"

Lao Guo quipped, "When I was young, I was a good hand at stir-frying vegetables in the village. If I hadn't inherited the pen-making process, I'm afraid I would have become a cook. ”

Listening to Lao Guo's words, Zeng Lao also smiled and said: "You go and ask our village, who in ten miles and eight townships doesn't know that I cook at home? If it weren't for my daughter-in-law cooking now, I'm afraid I would have to cook for my wife from time to time!"

Tang Chen couldn't help but laugh, he also knew that Zeng Lao and they said this just to alleviate his guilt. In fact, he just said it verbally, just drew the talisman, and he had already drained all his spirits, even if he was asked to stir-fry, he might not be able to do it well. As soon as the spirit is deprived, not only hunger, but also fatigue and so on. In this situation, what Tang Chen needed most was to take a break and refresh his spirits.

At this time, Zeng Lao had already opened the refrigerator. However, the refrigerator was empty, and there didn't seem to be any vegetables and meat except for some fruits.

"No way......"

Zeng Lao and Lao Guo glanced at each other, and they already understood what each other meant.

"Brother driver, let's go out to buy groceries, I'm going to trouble you to drive again......"

Lao Guo said with a smile, "Ah Jiu, you can cook at home." ”

Zeng Lao didn't object, nodded and said, "Don't buy too many vegetables, just enough to eat." It's better to buy less meat and eat more vegetarian food. ”

Lao Guo glanced at him: "I'm not afraid of the 'three highs', what are you afraid of?"

Zeng Lao said angrily: "Health preservation, understand?"

"Forget it, I won't talk to you, I can buy whatever I want......"

After Lao Guo went out, he closed the door very loudly, Zeng Lao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Alas, this Lao Guo ...... Hey, Master Tang, where are you going?"

Tang Chen leaned on the stairs and said strongly: "Elder Zeng, I'll go and take a rest, just call me when the meal is ready......" After that, no matter what Elder Zeng thought, he slowly paced upstairs.

“......”

Zeng is always an old and sophisticated person, how can he not see that what Tang Chen said before was polite words?" "This Master Tang is really face-saving...... But can face be eaten as rice?" Zeng Lao thought about it for a while, and then went to the kitchen to wash rice and cook rice. He's not lying, he's pretty skillful at cooking. In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that Zeng Lao's youth happened to be the time when New China had just stood up from the ruins. There will be a shortage of food and clothing in society, and the gap between the rich and the poor will not be as big as it is now. It is said that "the children of the poor are in charge of the house early", and Zeng Lao is naturally no exception. When he was a child, Zeng Lao ploughed the land and farmed, touched fish and caught shrimp, stir-fried vegetables and cooked, and fed pigs with firewood...... If you don't do it, you're going to go hungry.

Almost no one who lived in that era was idle, and the transformation of people in society was very successful. Where are children like today, who stretch out their hands for clothes and open their mouths for food, do no housework, and have almost zero self-care ability. To put it mildly, if they are given their own life, they will probably starve to death, because they can't even cook!

Zeng Lao hummed a little song and began to work in the kitchen.

And Tang Chen, who couldn't support it for a long time, after opening the door, he lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

In the closed room, Tang Chen's soft snoring gradually rose. However, at this moment, Tang Chen's tightly closed eyes seemed to have a pale golden light flashing. Just like the clairvoyance in the animation of "Journey to the West", this pale golden light, like two laser beams, suddenly projected on the snow-white ceiling.

At this moment, Tang Chen seemed to be in a strange dream.

In the dream, he seemed to "see" a woman who was like a fairy, looking at Tang Chen with a pair of wonderful eyes, and said lightly: "Wuji Three Thousand Realms, Xuanyuan Yunhua Gong." The Tao is high in the last world, and the wonderful appearance appears in the Yao Palace. ”

Tang Chen didn't want her to chant poetry suddenly, and he didn't know what she meant for a while. This is also normal, in this society now, who else can understand poetry and poetry in a blink of an eye? Tang Chen was stunned at first, and then asked in a stunned voice, "Who are you?"

This fairy-like woman gently opened her lotus mouth, as if talking to herself, and as if she said to Tang Chen: "People's hearts are in danger. The heart of the Tao is subtle. What is the danger? The people's hearts win, and the Dao heart is disturbed. The Tao is lost, and people and hearts are perished. Therefore, the heart wants its self-cultivation and self-examination, without any galloping, and the Taoist heart wants it to have no slackness and no waste, and accumulate from time to time. There are many who learn the Tao and few who know. The way is the way, not the way I call it. The name of catechumens, the truth of ignorance, take this as the way of learning, and it is not backsliding. Oh, the way is in the present! People don't ask for ears, and they don't want to be confused.

The heart of the people is in charge of things, but the heart of the Tao has no power.

What is it? Restraining resentment and resentment at all ends, karma arises one after another, and the human heart is blazing and the Taoist heart is ambiguous. Defeat, competitive. People are especially troubled, and they are willing to abandon violently. Those who are self-violent, inadequate and have words, and those who abandon themselves, inadequate and promising. If you can have the heart of self-victory, strive to win in the realm of heaven and man, and expand the endowment.

Seeking victory is between overcoming and recovering and recovering things, and the accumulation of things is eliminated. Isn't it far from the former to look at the languishing and cowardly? The good words have not been removed, and the foolish ones have lost their authenticity in order to win, and the more they are fighting. Angry and angry, the one who asks for it has nothing to do with it, and what this little husband does is not a person in my law. Fellers, boasting of merit.

The great sage of the ancients, not reserved, the balance of the earth, the construction of the ancient grand merit, still heard the good words and worshipped. The higher the sanctity, the greater the sanctity, and the holiness is not holy, but holy. The face of the Holy Gate, there is no goodness, no labor. Cover the good one, the sex should be done, and there is no way to cut it. Those who work and do their duty should do what they should do. If there is nothing, if it is false, if it is not enough, the reason for it is to restore the ......"

Tang Chen was stunned when he heard it, as if he had returned to his childhood, listened to his grandfather's teachings, and recited those ancient sayings and books that he didn't know. It's just that this woman's words, he seems to understand, but he doesn't seem to understand, and he says straight in his heart: "It's strange and ......."

When the woman's chanting gradually stopped, Tang Chen asked tentatively, "Who are you?"

The woman didn't answer when she heard this, as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was saying to Tang Chen: "You are talented and intelligent, and you are a genius who is not in the world. Now you and I have a fate, so we meet here. Remember, the way of the talisman is very powerful, you need to be right, for the right way, if not, it is bound to be the opposite. ”

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
