Since ancient times, beautiful women match heroes. Although Xiao Qiang looks ok, she is definitely not that kind of handsome man. If such a beautiful and charming girl can put down her figure and fall in love with him, she naturally falls in love with his ability. To understand this, Xiao Weiguo, leaning on crutches, looked thoughtfully at Xiao Qiang, and the color of worry in the corner of his eyes gradually faded.
"Xiao Qiang? You're just in time. Come and have a chat with your grandparents, aunts and uncles. I'm going to cook. We'll have dinner together later. " Zhang Cuihua, who is wearing an apron and carrying fruit, comes out from the side room at this moment. When she meets Xiao Qiang and Zhang Jingyi, she comes over and says with a smile, "is Jingyi here too? Hehe, are you tired by car? Come on, eat some fruit first. I'll cook a few dishes, and dinner will be ready in a moment. "
"Mom, it's not urgent to eat. Let's talk first." Xiao Qiang vaguely knew what his adoptive mother Zhang Cuihua was doing to call herself back to Yong'an County, and what she was in the mood to eat. He said bluntly, "if I don't make it clear in advance, I'm afraid I have no appetite."
"How do you talk, you child?" Zhang Cuihua walked up to him and said in a low voice. Then she said with a smile, "Xiao Qiang, what's the matter? Let's talk about it after dinner
"Auntie, you can talk with Xiao Qiang. Let me cook." When Zhang Jingyi saw that Xiao Qiang wanted to talk about things first, she immediately volunteered and said with a smile, "aunt, I also want you to taste my skills. Is the kitchen downstairs? I'll cook some special dishes for you
"It's... It's so funny, Jingyi..."
Zhang Cuihua was about to decline, but Xiao Qiang said, "Jingyi's cooking is very good. If she wants to be filial, she will let her cook it. Mom, let's sit together. I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to have a chat with you. "
See Xiao Qiang say so, Zhang Cuihua can only be embarrassed toward Zhang Jingyi way, "Jingyi, then trouble you, sorry ah."
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. I'm glad it's too late. Don't worry. I promise to finish the task." With a sweet smile, Zhang Jingyi takes the initiative to help Zhang Cuihua untie her apron and put it on skillfully. Without saying a word, she goes downstairs to prepare dinner.
"Cuihua, you are really happy. The daughter-in-law here is beautiful and smart, and the key is that she is so hardworking. What a blessing..." at this time, grandfather Xiao Weiguo said, "I think the eldest is alive for thousands of years, and I will be glad, right?"
"It's just that the elder brother's life is not good. He went so early, or he would have enjoyed his son's happiness. How comfortable it is to live in such a big villa all day..." third aunt Xiao Wanfeng said with envy. "It's Xiao Qiang who has the ability. Look at me, he didn't want to drop out of school until he was a sophomore in high school. Now he knows to be idle all day, I don't have any skills... "
Xiao Qiang can't help but sneer at this and says, "third sister-in-law, grandfather, I said you don't flatter me there. I know very well in my heart that this is not your original intention. Come on, what are you doing here today? Your old Xiao family is the master of the three treasures hall. But I declare in advance that I'm welcome to visit my relatives for a meal, but if you want me to help you, you don't need to talk about it. As a college student, I'm away all the year round. Now everything in the county has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to get involved. "
In fact, even if they don't say Xiao Qiang, they know that if they don't ask him for help, they will flatter him? Dream! So as soon as they opened their mouth, Xiao Qiang knew that there must be no good goods in these guys' stomach, so he simply refused first to save the trouble.
Xiao Qiang's ruthless words immediately embarrassed the old Xiao family. At this time, Zhang Cuihua said with a straight face, "Xiao Qiang, you go into the room, I have something to say to you."
"Ma!" Xiao Qiang knows that his adoptive mother Zhang Cuihua is good at everything, but she is too soft hearted. Although the old Xiao family is a relative of his adoptive father Xiao Wannian, it doesn't mean that he has to obey them! After Xiao Wannian's death, where did they help themselves like relatives? It's good not to fall into the well! Now that I'm rich and well-developed, I want to talk about my family and ask for help. How can there be such a reason in the world?
"Come here!" Zhang Cuihua doesn't care what Xiao Qiang wants to say. With a serious cry, Xiao Qiang has to stand up and accompany her into the nearby tea room.
Zhang Cuihua closed the door and said, "Xiao Qiang, I know you don't like to see the old Xiao family, but have you ever thought about it? Those people are your adoptive father's relatives. They are your grandfather who brought your adoptive father up! If you do this, your adoptive father will be charged with unfilial. How can you make your adoptive father feel at ease in heaven? No matter how they treat us, we can't treat them like this! Do you know that you should repay your family with good? Hatred can't change anything. The real hero is the one who can take it up and put it down
"Mom, I know the truth, but I can't let you go! At that time, the second uncle killed his father. These relatives were sarcastic, and now they come to us shamelessly. Why do you think I should help them? Anyway... Anyway, I can't let it go, and I don't want to be a real hero. " Xiao Qiang's head was crooked, obviously a little stubborn.
Zhang Cuihua sighed, "why? No matter what, you should also help Lao Xiao's family because of the kindness of your adoptive father! Xiao Qiang, you have learned everything when you grow up, but you have never learned your father's tolerance and benevolence. Your father used to repay his family with good. In fact, he knew all the things your second uncle did, but why did he keep the account book in the room all the time? I didn't know at that time, but now I want to understand that it was because your father didn't want to report your second uncle. He would rather commit suicide by taking poison than do harm to his relatives! "
Xiao Qiang stood in the same place, clenched his fist and did not speak for a long time.
"Sometimes, people don't just live for the sake of hatred, but to let go of hatred is to become a Buddha." Zhang Cuihua said, "you are still young. Although you have the ability and ability, you always blame all this on your own efforts. Have you ever thought about it? Where does it come from? Hatred blinds your eyes, fills your heart with anger and anger, and forgets compassion and gratitude. When you can really think of others everywhere, when you will really mature and grow up. Only benevolent people are truly admirable. "
Xiao Qiang was stunned and puzzled. He said, "Mom, are you thinking of these words?"
"Some of them are, and some of them are what I said in my Buddhist class." Zhang Cuihua said with a smile, "when people are old, they have to have something to depend on and learn the truth of life. So I signed up for a Buddhist class, attended the class, thought about it, and understood my life. "
After a long silence, Xiao Qiang nodded and said, "what you said is right. People shouldn't just live with hatred. It's really too tired. But my view is different from yours. Compassion and kindness are needed, but they are not absolute. We have to grasp a certain degree in everything. Hatred is like this, so is gratitude. Too much emphasis on any aspect is not good. There's no need for me to help these people of Lao Xiao's family, but what I've said to you depends on the face of my father. OK, I'll help them this time. Third uncle and fourth uncle both want to work in the jade factory, right? OK, I'll call uncle Xia and let him handle it. You can rest assured. As for Sangu's ignorant son, if he wants to go to work, I'll introduce him to the company. If he wants to do business by himself, I'll give him a sum of money. Is that ok? "
When Zhang Cuihua heard this, she said helplessly, "silly boy, you are wrong. This time the people of the Xiao family are not here to work, but they are in trouble. I'm afraid it has something to do with us
