Chapter 1042: The Poor Monk Turns into a Fast
Later, the surviving baby boy was really chubby and safe. Ma Ma named him Ma Ben, hoping that his son would have a good future. That time Qi Sisi ran back to her mother's house with the pony, she was the only daughter of her mother, her father died early, and only an old mother who was getting old and old, relying on government relief to survive, she was still healthy, able to take care of herself, and refused to live in a welfare home.
Qi Sisi took the child back, she was very happy, and pulled her grandson to kiss and touch. Ma Ben recognized his life, and cried for his mother with a flat mouth. Qi Sisi stuffed the prepared lollipop to his mother and said, if you give this to him, he won't cry. The old man peeled off the candy wrapper, shook it in front of his grandson, and then stuffed it into his mouth, and sure enough, it was quiet.
Slowly alleviating the rustiness, the grandmother walked out of the door with her grandson in her arms, deliberately walking around the neighborhood, and people asked, is this your grandson? She nodded her head, and then grinned happily with her wrinkled toothless mouth, like a happy pinecone ball.
They asked, "What do you do to entertain your daughter and grandson?" She suddenly remembered that she had 6 chickens, so she said, kill the chickens. The daughter came out with her, and she said, Mom, you don't need to kill the chicken, I brought the vegetables, there is meat and fish, and the chicken is kept for you to nourish your body.
On the second day, when she left, her mother had already tied up a purple rooster and stuffed it for her daughter to take home. He also instructed that this purple chicken could be raised until Ma Ben was one year old, and then killed him to eat. The mother also glanced at her grandson fondly, and said, he has not grown his teeth yet, and when he can speak with his teeth, you can bring me to see it again.
Mom, I'll definitely bring it. Qi Sisi, who was holding the child and wanted to leave, suddenly took pity on the loneliness of the old man, and said, Mom, come to my house to live!
No, I'm not used to living outside, not even in a welfare home. When the old man said this, he sighed again, I don't know how long I can live, every day is a day, as long as you live well, I will be satisfied.
On the same day, a man, with a sweat towel around his neck, was pushing a wheelbarrow through a dirt road in front of Majiazhuang, because the weather was hot, and he worked hard, he paused from time to time, picked up the sweat towel to wipe his sweaty forehead, and then continued to push the cart to hurry.
Suddenly, a slightly stronger wind blew and rolled off the sweat towel around his neck, and he grabbed it with his backhand, but he didn't catch it, and the wheelbarrow overturned under the ridge on the side of the road.
A gray iron bucket on the car rubbed off the rope that bound it, and it also rolled down, and with a fishy smell came to the nose, and from the mouth of the bucket and the water leaked out several large fish, crucian carp, carp, and silver carp...... They are all alive, and although each one is sticky, their scales are shining silver in the sun, which is particularly beautiful.
The man was no longer in a hurry to pick up the sweat towel, but jumped under the one-meter-deep ridge, picked up the fallen iron bucket, picked up the scattered fish and threw it in, and then closed the mouth of the bucket tightly. Then straighten the fallen wheelbarrow, which is easy, but it is not easy to carry it out of a deep pit and on the road, and it is easy to carry it if someone helps to carry it.
At this moment, he saw a man with a hoe walking on the other side of the road, and the man was also staring at him, and he said, by the way, big brother, can you help me carry the car on the road. The man said, "I can't help in vain." The man said, "Okay, I'll open the iron bucket, and you can catch any fish as a reward."
The man felt that it was a good deal, and no longer hesitated, and Ma Li put the hoe on the road, walked over and said happily, "Even if my horsepower is strong, I will try to repay it."
Not long after Qi Sisi came home with the child in her arms, she saw her husband coming in from outside, putting down the hoe from his shoulder, and catching a carp in his hand, she smiled and said, You are quite rich today. Ma Li told the process of getting the carp, and Qi Sisi reproached, if people don't give you a reward, won't you just stay on the field and gloat and watch the excitement?
Of course. Ma Ma cynically said that if people are unlucky, I will please them. Qi Sisi was afraid of waking up the child in the nest, so he whispered, you are so bad.
Ma Ma didn't listen attentively, but he heard a sound at the corner of the door, and turned around to see a purple rooster, his legs tied to the rope and wanted to move, but he couldn't walk, and his wings beat from time to time. Ma Li was about to ask, Qi Sisi said, this is what my mother gave Ma Ben to eat.
Ma Ma said, the child is only 6 months old, and his teeth have not grown, can he eat? Qi Sisi asked angrily: If you raise this purple chicken for a year, won't the child be more than a year old, and you can finally eat it if you have teeth when you are more than a year old, right? Ma Li didn't say anything more, took a knife and cut the carp open, and took it to the dock of the pond in front of the house to wash it.
Qi Sisi said, let me get it. But the child woke up, she picked up the child and went out to the ditch to urinate, the child cried while peeing, urinated, Qi Sisi picked up the child and stuffed the tits into his mouth, his two cheeks puffed up the milk, stopped crying, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
At this time, Qi Sisi heard the rooster cry of "oh oh, oh oh", twisted his neck, and saw Ma Li grab the purple chicken and turn his head over, pull out the fur on his neck, and slash at the edge of the knife, blood came out in an instant, and Ma Li turned it upside down to let the chicken blood drip into the porcelain bowl.
Qi Sisi walked over with the child in his milk, frowned and said, Didn't I tell you, this purple chicken is raised, and the child will be killed for him when he is more than a year old.
The horsepower is silent, and only cares about draining the blood. Qi Sisi is still counting, and besides, this purple chicken was given to the child by the child's grandmother, why did you kill it? Ma Li didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and looked up and said, the child's grandmother is my mother-in-law, I eat a chicken she gave, she will not have an opinion, I don't believe you to ask her. Qi Sisi thought that there was no point in fighting, so she went along with her husband.
It's fried fish again, it's simmered chicken again, and it's fragrant at home, and you can smell it from afar.
On this day, a dervishes monk came to Majiazhuang, wearing a robe, and did not stop walking from the door of Mali's house, but went to other people's homes to make a fortune, get fasting food, and continue to hurry.
Ma Sanzhen suddenly caught up and teased, monk, the house on the other side of the pond cooked fish and chicken, why don't you go to Huazhai? The monk clasped his palms together, recited Amitabha Buddha, and declared that the donor, the poor monk does not eat meat.
Ma Sanzhen said, if you don't eat meat, doesn't his family still have vegetarian food? You can make a vegetarian meal! The monk said to himself, since the donor mentioned this matter, it means that there is a fate, and he might as well follow the fate. So the monk turned around and went back to the house to fast.
Ma Li had finished the fish and chicken soup, and added a plate of peanuts and a few side dishes, all of which were on the table in the hall, and he was taking his seat with a glass of cereal wine, and he was just beginning to enjoy it. Suddenly, Qi Siteng, who was shaking the child in the nest to sleep, stretched out his hand to pull Ma Li's clothes, Ma Ma turned his head and wanted to ask something, but found that there was a dignified and quiet monk standing at the door of the hall, and before he could speak, he said, the poor monk is from Wutai Mountain, and he has come to the treasure to turn his fate, please give the donor a little vegetarian food, Amitabha! May the benefactor be grateful for the Buddha's grace, a thousand auspicious households, and peace at four o'clock!
What is the fate? I only have meat here. Ma Li knew that the monks forbade meat, so he deliberately hung a piece of chicken in the air with chopsticks and said, do you want to? Only this one. The monk said that since the benefactor refused to give him fasting, the poor monk did not force it.
Qi Sisi begged her husband to serve him a bowl of rice! Ma Ma thought to himself: These monks don't do anything all day long, only care about chanting scriptures, why should we provide for him? What are the benefits of offering to him?
