Chapter 78 New Home
"The water in the water bag was brought back by my mother on her shoulders. You must drink it all and not waste it."
Jiaojiao stood on her toes and stuffed her into his arms.
Then he went to the basket covered by the wooden cabinet at the back and took out a few cornmeal cakes. They also ran over and handed them to him. He said in a waxy voice: "Mom said this is very filling. You can eat it if you are hungry on the way."
Song Dong's eyes turned red. Since he separated from his parents, he has been faced with cold words and indifference from others. After he became a beggar, he was even bullied and scolded. No one helped him. This family was very kind to him.
Their various actions warmed his cold heart and gave him more courage.
He must find his parents and repay their family.
Jiaojiao saw tears in his eyes, scratched her head and suddenly didn't know how to comfort him.
"Thank you. I don't know when I will find my parents, but as long as I am alive, I will come back to repay my kindness." Song Dong wiped his tears and said seriously.
"Well, another poor human being." Bai Miaomiao turned over, curled up in Jiaojiao's arms and closed her eyes to sleep.
Jiaojiao looked at Song Dong, her big black eyes a little worried. She thought for a moment and said, "Our family is moving. If you don't have food to eat in the future, just go to the foot of Qing'an Temple to find us."
Song Dong's heart was full of bitterness. He had already caused trouble for his benefactor, so how could he have the nerve to come begging for food? That Second Master Zhao was famous for being ruthless, and he didn't know whether his benefactor would face revenge.
Thinking of this, he felt guilty again, "Little sister, I have to go."
Song Dong went out, knelt down and kowtowed directly to the main house, and then left without looking back.
Jiaojiao walked out and looked at his figure. She suddenly stretched out her little hand and quietly put some spiritual power around him. It was too dangerous for him to walk in the middle of the night. The spiritual power can prevent the attacks of poisonous beasts.
After doing this, Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes sleepily and carried the sleeping cat back to the house.
……
The next day, the sky was slightly bright.
When the Wang family got up, they discovered that Song Dong had left.
Wang Zhuangzhi went out and searched around but found no trace of him. He couldn't help but sighed anxiously: "He didn't even take any medicine, and I don't know how long he left."
Liu Zhihua ran to the kitchen to take a look and found that an old water bag and corn cakes in the basket were missing. She ran out and said to the head of the house: "He took the water bag and grain, so he shouldn't be hungry."
"Oh, don't let anyone die."
Wang Zhuangzhi went out to patrol around the foot of the village and found no signs of struggle or struggle. He was relieved. The lack of traces meant that he had not encountered any wild animals.
Song Dong left, although the Wang family felt sympathy and pity, but they didn't say anything anymore after Song Dong left.
After breakfast, the joy of going shopping outweighed other emotions, and the children put on their own beautiful new clothes.
Wang Zhuangzhi also had a smile on his face, and drove his newly purchased carriage with his family to Qing'an Temple to see Master Xu Yi.
When the people in the village saw that they had bought a magnificent carriage, they were even more jealous.
"What kind of shitty luck did the Wang family have..."
……
The car drove all the way to the new courtyard.
Wang Zhuangzhi arranged his clothes appropriately, smiled and went up to knock on the door.
The person who opened the door was an elderly monk. He clasped his hands and asked, "But the King, the donor?"
Wang Zhuangzhi smiled and nodded and said: "It's me, Master Xu Yi, who asked me to come here today."
The monk nodded and said, "Almsgiver Wang, unfortunately today, there are distinguished guests coming to the temple. The abbot is receiving them, so he specially ordered a poor monk to come and collect the money."
Wang Zhuangzhi was stunned when he heard this, clasped his fists and asked, "Can Master Xu Yi tell you when he will go down the mountain?"
"No," the monk replied.
Wang Zhuangzhi carefully took out the banknote from his arms and handed it over, "Master, count me seven hundred taels."
The monk counted the banknotes, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to Wang Zhuangzhi, explaining: "Donor Wang, this courtyard belongs to you. If you are not busy, you can go to the Yamen with the poor monk earlier."
Process the property deed documents."
When Wang Zhuangzhi heard this, he quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "It's feasible. I happened to be sending my son to the academy in the town, so I just happened to do this at the same time."
Wang Zhuangzhi handed the keys to his mother and told them to wait in the courtyard first. He led Qiu Sheng and the master to the town.
Liu Zhihua took the children into her new home, Erya and Xiaoli ran around like crazy, and Jiaojiao also ran with her.
"This is our home!"
"I'm going to the backyard to see the fruit trees..."
Liu Zhihua smiled and shouted: "Slow down, we can't run in the yard."
Although Liu Zhihua said this, she couldn't hide her excitement when she looked at the magnificent courtyard. She touched here and there, and she couldn't stop smiling.
She never dared to imagine that she could live in such a magnificent house.
When she walked into the house, she found that there were all the furniture and ornaments, and they were all brand-new and expensive items. Liu Zhihua was so excited that she said it was worth seven hundred taels.
After walking around, everything was good, except that the house and furniture had some dust. Liu Zhihua rolled up her sleeves, found a wooden basin, and went to the well to fetch water.
Backyard,
Xiao Li was climbing a tree to pick fruits, while Erya was looking at the blooming lotus in the lotus pond. She had never seen such beautiful flowers and the attractive lotus pods. She wanted to pick the lotus pods and try them.
Jiaojiao sat on the pavilion holding the cat, looking at the mountains behind.
Bai Meow was very excited. He raised his head and waved his paws and said, "I remember that there is a bamboo forest on that mountain."
Jiaojiao thought of the young man Bai Miaomiao was talking about, and she asked curiously: "Miaomiao, the temple is full of monks, why is that fierce master you mentioned on the mountain?"
When Bai Meow Meow heard this, he immediately became furious, "Of course that hateful human has done bad things, so he should go to the Buddhist temple to repent! I will be bored to death following him all day long and listening to those bald monks chanting sutras."
Jiaojiao tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Since he has done something wrong and repented, why did the monk in the temple give you to him?"
Bai Miaomiao choked and said angrily: "He is very luxurious in food and clothing. He is probably the son of a powerful nobleman. Those bald monks in the temple are just trying to please others!"
After Jiaojiao heard this, she lost interest and put the cat in her arms on the stone bench.
Bai Miaomiao was very excited, "Jiaojiao, I'm going out for a nice walk."
After that, it jumped and slipped away from the jungle in the backyard.
Jiaojiao smiled, holding her chin with her hands as she looked at the blue sky and white clouds. A small breeze blew on her cheeks, not to mention how comfortable she felt.
"Sister, come and eat the fruit!"
Xiao Li picked a bag of fruits and shouted excitedly to Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao looked at the bright red fruit, which she had never eaten before, and she ran over happily.
The three children were eating fruits in the backyard. Liu Zhihua was too busy in the front yard alone. The house was so big that she broke out in a sweat after cleaning just one room.
Finally, run to the backyard and let the kids help.
