Ancient Buddhist Life

Chapter 18 Deterring the Needy Family (Seeking Collection, Asking Zhizhi)

Hu Ziyi suppressed the nausea in his heart, and perfunctorily acted with Hu Moxie, the two talked and laughed enthusiastically, as if the previous dissatisfaction was just an illusion.

Hu Liushi, who came in from the outside with a basket, saw the two people in the room getting along so harmoniously, thought he was dazzled, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and looked at the scene again.Hu Liushi unconsciously looked up at the sun outside. Could it be that the sun really came out from the west today.

"Old man, what are you talking about? You're so happy, I heard your laughter when I was still outside." Hu Liu asked with a smile on his face.

"We just chatted about some past things, let's not talk about it. Let me see if you have packed all the things you brought." Hu Moxi, who was in a good mood, rarely cared about these trivial matters, and took a look at the basket.

"How come there are only 10 eggs, and there is only so much meat. There are more than 30 chickens at home, and even if each chicken lays only one egg a day, there are at least 30 eggs a day. You can take that little. There is also this meat at home. Didn’t you just buy 3 catties in the morning, bring me all the eggs, and bring me another 150 eggs.” Looking at Hu Liushi who stood aside and didn’t respond, Hu Moxibustion’s voice rose unconsciously: "Hurry up, do you want me to get it myself?"

"Go, let's go now, old man, don't worry." Fearing the majesty of his old man, although Hu Liushi was reluctant to give up, he could only follow his old man's orders with heartache.

Hu Moxie, who rarely had a happy chat with his grandson, was afraid that Hu Ziyi might have thoughts in his mind, so he said, "Ziyi, your grandma has a bad memory, don't be as knowledgeable as her."

"Grandpa is worrying too much. How can grandson care about grandma? After all, she is old."

"Okay, okay, grandpa knows you are a filial child." Hu Moxie took Hu Ziyi's hand and patted it in relief.

Hu Ziyi pretended to be inadvertently took out his hand, got up and walked to the door to look outside, said: "Grandpa, it's getting late, Zixuan and the others are still waiting for me to go back to cook, how long will it take for grandma to be ready?"

"Why don't you have dinner here and let your grandma and aunts cook some delicious food, so that you won't have to go back and cook. Besides, you probably haven't built a pot yet, how are you going to cook?" Hu Moxie was polite. of concern.

"No need, grandpa. I have an earthen pot at home. I can make soup and decoct medicine, so I won't bother grandma and the others."

"That's fine, listen to you. I'll go and see if your grandma is alright, and I'll bring you the money and food distributed to you by the way. Are you waiting here or going with me?"

"Let's go together! The food is a bit heavy, and I can help you share some, Grandpa."

The grandfather and grandson came outside the kitchen chatting and laughing, and they heard Hu Liu muttering incessantly: "You unconscionable white-eyed wolf, who eats my mother's and uses my mother's, and now I have to eat and take it. How can I It's such a bitter life!"

"What are you doing! What are you talking about doing something? What do you want to do with your dirty mouth?" Hu Moxie, who was standing outside the door, shouted loudly, thinking that he had said good things for Mrs. Hu Liu just now, and now he just felt his face burning Well, if the old woman has anything to say, she can't wait for the person to leave.What a shame!

Hu Liushi, who was silent in his own world, was startled suddenly, and just about to curse back, when he turned around, he saw his old man and Hu Ziyi, that white-eyed wolf standing at the door, and hurriedly choked off the words that were on his lips.

"Old man, why are you here? I'll be fine." Hu Liushi, who changed his face faster than his book, said with a smile on his face instantly.

"Hmph! Bring it quickly when it's done. By the way, take out the money and food that were distributed to Zi Yi and the others yesterday, and let Zi Yi take it back later."

"Understood." Thinking of giving so much money and food to that white-eyed wolf, Hu Liushi felt angina. I really don't know what the old man is thinking, can't he just deal with it?

Although there are all kinds of dissatisfaction in my heart, I still have to give what should be given, otherwise the old man will get angry again.

"What a debt collector, this house will be emptied by them sooner or later." Cursing, Hu Liu took out 15 taels of silver from the silver box.

Hu Liushi with a face of reluctance took the silver and slapped it heavily on Hu Ziyi's hand, "Look carefully, here is 15 taels of silver. Count it yourself, don't come to me later, I won't I'm giving you even a copper plate."

Looking at the ten silver ingots and the five taels of silver horns in his hand, Hu Ziyi weighed them lightly, the weight was quite substantial.

"Don't worry, grandma, except for what I should take, the others are not mine, and I won't ask for an extra copy."

"I hope so, share your grain in the granary, and find a way to get it back by yourself."

"You old woman, with so many things, how can Zi Yi take them back? Go and take out the ox cart at home for Zi Yi to use." Hu Moxie said in disbelief.

"Old man, how precious are the cows! There are only 3 cows in our village, and our family has been serving them with good food and drink. We are afraid that they will be injured and tired, so how can we let them do these rough jobs?" Hu Liu was dissatisfied. Said.

"It's just a beast, no matter how expensive it is, it can be compared to human beings, if you are told to go, go as soon as possible."

Hu Liushi, who didn't dare to scold her old man, gave Hu Ziyi a sideways look, and gave him a ruthless "Bah".

It's rare for Hu Ziyi to care about Hu Liushi's attitude when he gets what he wants. There is absolutely no need to waste his time on such an insignificant person.

"Grandpa, there is no need for the bullock cart. The grandson can still take these things back if he asks himself."

"Okay, you can do it by yourself. There are only me and your grandma at home, and no one can help you. You can move slowly by yourself."

"Then I'll go first." Hu Ziyi, who didn't want to stay here, walked outside after speaking.

"Zi Yi, you see that you want to divide the family, and you will be divided. What should be given to you is also given to you. If you have anything to do in the future, can you discuss it with your family first? Don't just invite the elders of the family, it's not good for the family's reputation." Hu Mo called to stop Hu Ziyi who couldn't wait to leave, and said slowly and methodically.

"Grandpa, as long as grandma and the others don't step on my bottom line in the future, I won't argue with them. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, they will kill the grass." The corners of Hu Ziyi's mouth raised, and his eyes glanced at Hu Mrs. Liu took a look.

Hu Liushi, who was stared at by Hu Ziyi's eyes, suddenly shrank away as quietly as a chicken, hoping that he could forget his existence.

After seeing the effect he wanted, Hu Ziyi smiled openly and said, "Grandpa, can I go now?"

"Yes, yes." Hu Mo now only hopes that he can leave quickly, the look in his eyes just now still makes him linger in fear.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm leaving!" After waving his hand, Hu Ziyi strode away.

When he reached the door, Hu Ziyi paused maliciously, then turned around and said, "Grandpa, remember to ask Zi Qing to apologize to Zi Xin. Otherwise..."

The two who had just put their minds at ease saw Hu Ziyi stop again, and hurriedly raised their hearts and said, "Remember, remember, when he comes back, I will ask your second uncle to take him to apologize to Zi Xin."

"Thank you grandpa, goodbye!"

Seeing Hu Ziyi who had finally gone away, Hu Liushi patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Old man, did you see the look in his eyes just now? This little bastard is cruel, but luckily we got him out, otherwise he wouldn't be here." Know how to harm this family."

"I know I'm afraid, let's see if you dare to bully their brothers and sisters in the future. Clay figurines are three-dimensional, let alone a living person." Looking at Hu Liushi with hatred, he said.

"Is it my fault? You don't like them yourself, and I would treat them like that without your acquiescence. It's not because I see you suffering and want to vent my anger for you. I did all this for Who, don't you think about it?" Hu Liu was very upset that he had done so much and was still not understood.

How could Hu Moxi not understand Hu Liu's intentions, it's just that he can't save face, if he let outsiders know that he is a grandfather, he can't tolerate his own grandson, and he won't be cast aside to death.

"Okay, don't mess with them in the future, just live your life with peace of mind." After leaving these words, Hu Mo went out for a walk with his hands behind his back.

"You, you..." Seeing them leave one by one, Hu Liu kicked down the neatly placed firewood angrily.

Hu Ziyi, who had stated his position, happily moved the food back to the backyard one by one.Not only did I get money and food today, but I also had some surprises. I had more eggs and meat, so I could nourish my younger siblings for several months.

"Zixuan, Zixin, come out and see what the elder brother brought back." As long as he thought of their happy appearance, a trace of tenderness flashed in Hu Ziyi's deep black moo.

"Brother, I'm back. We have braised pork to eat. Second brother, hurry up!" Zixin hurriedly dragged his second brother out when he heard his voice.

"Wow! A lot of meat and eggs! Brother, is this really ours?" Asked looking at the elder brother in disbelief.

"It's true, after a while the big brother will cook all these meats, so that you can eat enough at one time."

"Brother is so kind!" Excited Zixin hugged her elder brother and cheered.

Unlike Zi Xin who was determined that everything would be fine as long as there was food, Zi Xuan worriedly looked at his elder brother up and down, back and forth, and was relieved when he saw that he was not injured.

"Brother, are they giving these? They will be so generous?" Zixuan asked suspiciously.

"Yes, you still don't trust Big Brother."

"No, I just didn't expect grandma to agree to share so many things with us."

"Of course grandma is reluctant. These are all given by grandpa. Zixuan, you have to remember that the real master of this family is grandpa, and grandpa is a good-looking person. As long as the imperial examinations of the second uncle and uncle are not involved, other As long as it's not too much, he will satisfy us." Scratching Zixuan's nose, he pointed out.

"I see, brother."

"Come on, move the grain back to the house with Big Brother."

"Ok."

The Hu Ziyi brothers were busy moving in and out of the house, and the excited Zi Xin followed behind them like a little follower.Hu Ziyi was afraid of bumping into him accidentally, so he called Zitong to take him to watch and not let him run around.
