Ancient Buddhist Life

The three of Hu Zixuan and their new friend Mao Lin had a great time playing spinning tops and firecrackers together in the academy after school.The few people who were so excited to play completely forgot when it was time to go home.It wasn't until Hu Ziyi, who had been waiting at home for a long time and didn't see them coming back, came to the academy to look for them in person, that they realized that it was getting dark and they were going back for dinner.

Finally seeing the elder brother whom his father kept talking about, Mao Lin felt a little uneasy, he was a little afraid that he would not be able to make a good impression on his elder brother.

Sensing Mao Lin's scrutinizing eyes, Hu Ziyi cast him a glance, and muttered in his heart: Why does this little fat man keep staring at him, he doesn't seem to know him.

Zixuan, who paid attention to elder brother's eyes, pulled Mao Lin to stand in front of elder brother and said, "Brother, this is Mao Lin, our new friend we just made today, and he also likes all kinds of toys that you make, elder brother."

"Hi, thank you for your liking. When you are free, you are welcome to come to our house to play." Although he still hasn't figured out why he secretly looked at him, seeing his clear eyes, Hu Ziyi has a good impression of him , this child may be a little curious to see himself for the first time.

"Okay, I will definitely go if I have the opportunity, and please don't be disgusted when the time comes." Mao Lin looked at Hu Ziyi obediently, without the domineering and indifferent during the day.

As if Mao Lin had changed, Zi Xuan couldn't help rubbing his eyes, maybe his eyes were dazzled, isn't this well-behaved and quiet Mao Lin really being secretly replaced?

With a sound of "pa", Zixuan covered the back of his head that hurt from being slapped, looked at his elder brother sadly and said, "Brother, why did you hit me for no reason?"

"Your little friend talks to you, why do you ignore him and just keep rubbing your eyes in a daze." Really couldn't stand it anymore, so Hu Ziyi patted him lightly.

Feeling wronged, Zi Xuan turned his head and gave Mao Lin a look, thinking to himself: It's all Mao Lin's fault, if it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have been hit on the back of the head by his elder brother.

Seeing Zixuan, who was happy to introduce himself to his elder brother just a moment ago, looked at him with an unfriendly expression in the blink of an eye, Mao Lin clasped his fingers in confusion, and quickly thought in his heart, did he do anything to hurt him? It's Zixuan, otherwise how could he change his face so quickly.

"Zixuan, why are you upset? Do you not want me to go to your house to play? I don't have to." The environment he lived in since he was a child made him very fond of these brothers and brothers who just met today. Those people in the family are used to one thing and another, and they will not say behind his back that he is an illegitimate child and a shame to the Mao family.

Zi Xuan was just joking around, but Mao Lin didn't expect Mao Lin to take it seriously. Seeing him looking at him carefully, Zi Xuan smiled and stepped forward to hug his arm, saying: "Mao Lin, I was just kidding with you , How about you come to my house for dinner tonight?"

Mao Lin was very moved and wanted to go back with them, but seeing Mao Yuan who grew up with him kept winking at him, he had no choice but to suppress his excitement, and regretfully refused: "Next time, my parents and the others Waiting for me to go home for dinner."

"Okay, see you tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I will bring you the cakes and candies made by my elder brother. You will definitely like them very much." Zixuan cherishes the fact that it is rare to have a friend that he likes.

"Thank you, then I'll go first, see you Brother Hu." Mao Lin, who was afraid that if he stayed longer, he would not be able to help but want to go back with them, turned around and left with Mao Yuan after speaking.

Hu Ziyi once again noticed Maolin's nostalgic eyes when he turned around, and felt a little strange, why this child always behaved so strangely, as if he knew Yuanshen, but from the people that Yuanshen came into contact with in his memory, it was impossible to contact him. To this rich family's child.

Unable to figure out why, Hu Ziyi rubbed his aching head, and thought for a while: Recently, my nerves are too tense, and I can't help but think the worst about everything.That child doesn't look like a person with evil intentions, probably because he is thinking too much.

"Brother, do you have a headache again? You squat down and I'll rub it for you." Zitong, who felt sorry for his brother's exhaustion, grabbed his clothes and asked him to squat down.

"It's okay, I'm going home for dinner. Brother, I'm almost starving to death. You guys won't be able to go home so late in the future, you know?" Hu Ziyi won't be able to relax if the person behind the scenes is not caught for a day.

"Understood, brother." Zitong, who understood his brother's worry, shook his hand and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah." Hu Ziyi, who felt the warmth of his palm, looked at the little warm boy Zitong with relief.

But when he saw Zixuan and Zitong who were fighting vigorously and didn't take his advice seriously, his good mood fell to the bottom instantly.

Hu Ziyi, who couldn't get angry, gave them a meal of stir-fried chestnuts. The two little guys just needed a beating. The big brother was worried, so they didn't take it seriously.

The two fleeing with their heads in their hands made grimaces while running, and said, "Brother, you can't hit us, you can't hit us."

"Wait for me, you two, and see how I deal with you two when I get home." Hu Ziyi, who pretended to be jumping in anger from them, said loudly angrily on purpose.

The two people who had been used to it for a long time didn't take the big brother's threat seriously at all. Instead of running away, they ran back to Hu Ziyi's side, each hugging his arm, and said pitifully: "Brother, we You are so obedient and cute, are you really willing to hit us?"

"Of course I'm willing to let you piss me off all the time. It's better for Zitong. When I get home, my elder brother will cook something delicious for you and not for the two of them." Hu Ziyi held Zitong's hand, ignoring the two little guys, There was a lively discussion about what to eat and eat when we went back.

The two who were so greedy that they swallowed their saliva, they smiled and leaned over, and said: "Brother, we are also obedient, take us with you."

"Zitong, did you hear someone talking?" Hu Ziyi deliberately ignored them and asked with a suppressed smile.

Zi Tongmian pursed his lips, and cooperated with a sneaky smile: "No, brother, let's go quickly, you are so hungry that you are hallucinating."

"Okay, run." The two who suddenly accelerated and quickly left the two who hadn't reacted far behind.When they realized it, Hu Ziyi and Zitong were almost at the door.

Pedestrians on the road, seeing the four brothers Hu Xiaoge who were playing and chasing, all booed, "Second Hu Xiaoge, hurry up and chase! Your elder brother is almost at the door. You are about to lose!"

"Brother is playing with us, it doesn't matter if we lose. You guys like to make trouble, and I can't be fooled." Zi Xuan, who was already half an old fritter, laughed happily with everyone.

Chatted and laughed with Zixuan for a while, seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the passers-by slowly dispersed and went about their own business.

On the other side, the sleepy Mao Lin returned to the temporary residence in the town, and from a distance, he could see his father waiting for the door and wandering back and forth.Excitedly, he threw the schoolbag in his hand to Mao Yuan behind him, and trotted into Hu Yilai's arms with his arms outstretched.

"Father, are you waiting for me to come home?" Mao Lin, who has always been close to his father, rubbed his arms in his arms.

Hu Yilai lovingly stroked Mao Lin's head, and said, "Are you still used to going to school today? Has anyone bullied you?"

"No, they know that I'm from the Mao family, and they all want to confess me. I'm going to be annoyed to death." Mao Lin was the most impatient about these things, and complained a little.

After all, he was the child he brought up by himself. Hu Yilai could not understand him. He hugged him vigorously and said, "It's fine to bear with it for a few days. After Dad takes you to see your grandparents, we will move to the capital with your family." , our family will live there in the future.”

"Okay, Dad, I met brother Ziyi today, he came to pick Zixuan and the others from school, and invited me to his house to play!" Maolin said excitedly.

Hu Yilai, who hadn't seen his children for six or seven years, couldn't help being fascinated when he heard Maolin mention them.

"How are they? Have you mentioned our matter to them?" Hu Yilai, who was afraid to see each other, looked at Maolin nervously.

"They are very nice people. Today we played firecrackers and spinning tops together. Zixuan also said that he would bring me cakes and candies made by my elder brother tomorrow." Although he has eaten all kinds of Hujia food stalls since he came to Fuxi Town. It's a kind of snack, but it's not the same as what the big brother made with his own hands.

Hu Yilai, who had never eaten something made by his son himself, felt a little sore, and said, "Get along well with them, father owes them too much to the six brothers and sisters."

"Well, daddy, when are you going to see brother Ziyi? I think they will be very happy if they know you are still alive." Mao Lin didn't understand, since we are so close, daddy misses his elder brother and them very much, so why didn't he willing to meet them.

Hu Yilai looked into the distance with a dejected expression, and said: "You are still young, and you still don't understand many things. In the past few years, I have lived a prosperous life, but they have lived worse than pigs and dogs. They have suffered for me. .Because of my selfishness, they not only lost their father, but also their mother early. They must have hated me very much after such a hard life. I didn’t show up when they needed it most. Now they are living a better life. But I came back, and I wouldn't be willing to forgive myself if it was me."

Mao Lin, who felt sorry for his father, hugged his neck silently, rubbed his face, and said: "Father, we will make up for our brothers and sisters in the future, and they will forgive you for your difficulties over the years."

"I hope!" Hu Yilai, who was suffering in his heart, didn't know what to do. One side was his parents and brothers, and the other side was his son and daughter. The palms and backs of his hands were all flesh. They live in peace.

Mao Yurong, who was waiting for the two of them to eat in the room, waited left and right for the two of them to come in. When he came out, he saw Hu Yilai hugging his son, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In fact, Mao Yurong felt uncomfortable, no woman would like to bring home a child born to another woman and her husband, but she had to do this, because she couldn't give birth to a son for her husband.

Instead of marrying him a concubine when the time comes, it's better to take those children back and treat them well, thinking that they won't be able to escape from my palm.

Mao Yurong, who was thinking about it, was stunned, and said: "Husband, I have already walked to the door, why don't you go in for dinner. Mao Lin has been in school for a day, so I think I will be hungry."

"Uh...Yu Rong why did you come out? Let's go in now." Putting away his thoughts, Hu Yilai held Mao Lin in his arms and stopped Mao Yurong from entering the house for dinner.
