Hong Kong General Assembly began to practice
Chapter 15 Master and apprentice? Father and son?
Wencai felt that happiness came too suddenly. In the past, the master gave him money for buying groceries every day. And the master calculated everything clearly, and even if there was extra money, the master would take it back.
The most money he had ever received since he was a child was not more than one dollar. Although his master would give him some pocket money every month, it was only a dozen or twenty coins, which he would spend on buying candied haws and some snacks.
Now the new junior apprentice of the master gave him fifty dollars at once. And now he changed from two meals a day to three meals a day. And he had to prepare three meat dishes and two vegetables. Wencai felt that his good days were coming. In the past, he only ate meat once or twice a month with the master. Now he can eat meat every day and he is so happy.
"Master... Junior Brother... aren't you giving too much?"
Although Wencai was also greedy, he had been learning from his master, so it was nothing to take advantage of him occasionally. But after he came to his senses, he was still a little reluctant to accept the huge amount of money he had received.
"Brother, it's okay, you take it! I don't have any relatives in this world. I have accepted Master as my teacher, so Master is my relative, and you are also my relative. This charity cemetery is also my home. Usually Master is the only one who can run this family, so he is definitely not capable of it. Now this is also my home. I must do my part for this family."
"And don't worry, I am a junior brother. This little money is nothing. From now on, I will give you 50 dollars a month for the expenses of the charity. Because I practice martial arts and have a big appetite, I will trouble you to take care of me in the future."
Hearing Li Moye say this, Wencai was also deeply moved. He had been taken care of by his master since he was a child, and had lived in Yizhuang for many years, and had long regarded this place as his home. But no one had ever said like Li Moye that he was a family member and Yizhuang was also his home.
Although Qiu Sheng had grown up with him, Wencai knew that Qiu Sheng only regarded the charity cemetery as a temporary residence. Unless the master ordered him to do something, he would never ask to help with the work.
Today, Li Moye's words directly touched the most vulnerable part of Wencai's heart. So he said to Li Moye with red eyes:
"Don't worry, Junior Brother Moye. I will definitely prepare abundant meals for you in the future. If you have any problems in the charity cemetery, you can come to me, Senior Brother."
"Yes! Senior Brother. From now on, I will have to take care of my life."
Li Moye's heart was warmed by Wencai's sincere expression. He had no brothers or sisters, and having such a senior brother as a brother was something he had always longed for. He just said that he really wanted to treat this place as his second home.
Wencai took him to Qiu Sheng's room, and Li Moye found that Qiu Sheng's room was actually bigger than Wencai's. Although there was not much furniture, Wencai was the eldest senior brother, and Qiu Sheng was the second senior brother. It was not right for Qiu Sheng to live in such a big room while Wencai slept in a small compartment.
After asking, I found out that my senior brother was afraid of ghosts. There was a statue of the ancestor god in the room where he lived. My senior brother felt that he could sleep more peacefully at night with the company of the ancestor god.
Li Moye could only shake his head speechlessly after hearing this. A person who guards the Yizhuang is afraid of ghosts. And his master is a Taoist priest.
He was not afraid of saying something he shouldn't say in his sleep in the middle of the night and being struck to death by lightning from the ancestor.
Li Moxie, who didn't understand Wencai's strange thinking, fell asleep right after he lay down on the bed. This was mainly because after coming to this world, he had been moving blood and qi to the limit and running away, and he was also injured by the female ghost. He was indeed a little tired. So there was no such thing as insomnia in a new environment and a new world. He fell asleep right away.
The next morning, the sun was rising. Uncle Jiu rarely did not get up early to exercise today. Because he had accepted such an outstanding disciple like Li Moye last night, he was so happy that he could not sleep. Then he got up and played with the watch that Li Moye gave him. The more he looked at it, the more he loved it.
Then he remembered the few packs of Zhonghua cigarettes that Li Moyue gave him.
That's right, Li Moye gave all his Zhonghua cigarettes to Uncle Jiu. He only kept two packs for himself. Li Moye doesn't have much of a smoking habit now. He only smokes one occasionally when he's feeling emo.
At first, Uncle Jiu refused to accept it. Then Li Moye said that he didn't smoke much and was afraid that it would go bad if left for a long time. Then Uncle Jiu "reluctantly" accepted it.
Uncle Jiu opened a pack, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Then he picked up the Zippo lighter given by Li Moye and lit it. After taking a puff, he sighed that rich people really know how to enjoy themselves.
Uncle Jiu tossed and turned until midnight before he finally fell asleep. As a result, he woke up late in the morning, which was rare. Uncle Jiu saw that it was already breakfast time. So after washing up, he went straight to the hall to prepare for breakfast.
As soon as he arrived at the hall, Uncle Jiu smelled a fragrance. He followed the fragrance and soon saw a large table of food on the dining table. A large plate of roast duck. A large plate of roast chicken. A large plate of barbecued pork. There were also two plates of green vegetables. And a large bowl of white rice.
Seeing the table full of delicious food, Uncle Jiu was not greedy, but felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. This table of food cost at least half a dollar. What kind of family can afford this?
Besides, breakfast was prepared by Wencai, and the money I gave Wencai for buying groceries yesterday was not even enough to buy these. I thought Wencai had stolen my little treasury. I quickly shouted:
"Wencai! Come here!"
"Here comes master!"
Wencai was jogging with a big bowl of soup in his hand, responding to Uncle Jiu.
"Master, have you finished your training? It's time to eat. Please sit down, I'll go call my junior brother."
Wencai put down the soup and wanted to leave, but Uncle Jiu stopped him and asked:
"You are such a jerk. You bought so much meat so early in the morning. Can you finish it? Do you know how much this big table costs? And where did you get the money?"
Seeing his master so angry early in the morning, Wencai did not dare to say anything. He quickly explained:
"Master, this money was given to me by my junior brother last night. He gave me 50 yuan last night and asked me to take care of the expenses of the charity home."
"What! 50 dollars. I'll beat you to death, you bastard."
He just heard that Li Moye gave Wencai 50 yuan, and he didn't hear the rest of the words clearly, and he just roared. After that, he looked around for a stick that he could use. He wanted to give his good disciple a loving education.
"Master! Master! Don't be angry, this is what my junior gave me..."
Wencai was about to explain when Uncle Jiu interrupted:
"If he gives it to you, just take it! I will beat you to death, you bastard! What do you think of your fellow apprentice? He just gave you a valuable watch last night. And you dare to accept 50 dollars from him later. If this gets out, people will think that we, the master and apprentice, are bullying Moye."
"Master! Master, wait a minute! Let me explain!"
Wencai saw that his master was no longer looking for a weapon and was going to attack directly. He quickly circled around the table to avoid the master who was about to lose control.
"Okay, okay! Just stand there and I will listen to your explanation."
"Master, why don't you step back a few steps? I'm so scared when you do this."
"Afraid? Don't be afraid! Just stand there. I want to have a good chat with you."
Neither the master nor the apprentice gave in, and they just circled around the table. This scene happened to be seen by Li Moye who had just finished washing up. So he asked curiously:
"Master! Brother! Good morning, what are you doing?"
Seeing Li Moxie, Uncle Jiu immediately straightened his appearance. Then he said to Li Moxie:
"Mo Xie, you're up. Are you used to sleeping here?"
"I am used to it, Master. And I sleep very soundly."
"By the way, Master, what are you and Brother doing?"
Hearing his apprentice still mentioning this matter, Uncle Jiu could only say unhappily:
"I'm teaching your senior brother a lesson. How could he, as your senior brother, take your money? And you, Moye, too. How could you give so much money to your senior brother?"
Hearing this, Li Moye was helpless. He knew that his master would be angry if he did this, so he gave it to Wencai directly. But he didn't expect his master to react so strongly.
Li Moye knew that Uncle Jiu was just like that. He was greedy for money, but the money he was greedy for was the money he earned through his own hard work. He had his own principles.
But he is too principled, so every time he takes out money, I have to convince him first.
So he could only repeat to his master what he had said to Wencai last night.
After listening to this, Uncle Jiu fell silent. He didn't know how to reject Li Moye. If he rejected Li Moye, would it mean that he didn't consider Li Moye as a family member? If he didn't reject Li Moye, he would feel that he was taking advantage of his apprentice.
Li Moye saw that Uncle Jiu's face had relaxed a little. So he added fuel to the fire and said:
"Master, you don't need to worry too much. You are the only elder Mo Xie has in this world. And you are my master, so you are half my father. I am also half your son. It is natural for a son to respect his father. No one will say anything."
Li Moxie thought, I'm treating you like a half-father now. It's hard for you to refuse.
As for whether it would be bad to have someone give him a father out of nowhere, Li Moye said it was not a big deal. He was half an orphan in his two lives. Having more fathers was not a big deal. Having more fathers meant more options when you were out. Besides, learning Taoism was not bad.
After hearing what Moye said, Uncle Jiu really couldn't say no. If he still insisted on his principles and cared about his face, it might really hurt the heart of this good disciple.
The key point is that Uncle Jiu has been alone for so many years and has no children. Although Wencai was raised by him since he was a child and was treated as half a son by him, they are still master and apprentice. Now his new apprentice treats him as a relative and father. How can Uncle Jiu not be moved?
This is actually because everyone knows that there is such a relationship. But no one has said it out loud. And Uncle Jiu is too proud to reveal it. But now that Li Moye has made this relationship clear, Uncle Jiu is deeply moved.
At this time, Wencai also came over. He lowered his head and said in front of Uncle Jiu:
"Master...Master! Junior brother is right. You also raised me. Without you, I would have died out there. I...I have always considered you my father. It's just...I am just stupid. I am afraid of embarrassing you...I have never been able to say it out loud. I also want to do something for this family, but I am useless. I can't do anything to help this family."
"Junior brother is a capable person, and he regards this place as his home... and he is also capable of helping this family. I... I have no reason to refuse Junior brother. Because we all want to do something for this family and share your worries."
It was a rare occasion that he confessed his true feelings to Uncle Jiu, but he didn't dare to look at Uncle Jiu because he was afraid that his master would deny him. And his eyes were already wet with tears.
When Uncle Jiu heard Wencai say this for the first time, he was deeply moved. He raised his hand and touched Wencai's head and said:
"Silly child, I raised you. Although I am angry at your inability to achieve anything, I have never despised you. I am just worried about how you will support yourself in the future when I can no longer lift a sword."
"Master! Wuuwuwu~~"
Wencai cried and threw himself into Uncle Jiu's arms.
Li Moye was also moved when he saw the scene in front of him. When he watched the movie, he only saw Wencai's mischief and cowardice.
Now that he has come into this world, he sees a literary talent with flesh and blood and thoughts of his own.
Uncle Jiu was so upset that he almost burst into tears when Wencai threw himself on him. However, he was too proud to make a fool of himself in front of his apprentice. He just held back his tears, pushed Wencai away and said:
"Why are you crying? Let your junior fellow apprentice make fun of you. Come eat! The food is getting cold."
Wencai also obediently wiped his eyes with his sleeve. He touched his head a little embarrassedly and said to Li Moye:
"I'm sorry, Junior Brother, I made you laugh."
"Brother, don't be embarrassed. Family love has always been the most precious thing. We should cry when we should cry and laugh when we should laugh. We are all family, so we don't need to care too much."
"You little brat! You're the only one who can talk. Come and eat."
Uncle Jiu was afraid that his defense would be breached again, so he quickly called Li Moye to come over for dinner.
Maybe it was because everyone was happy after they expressed their feelings. Or maybe it was because the food Wencai bought was really delicious. The three of them finished off the whole table of food.
Uncle Jiu felt like he was a little full.
After the meal, Li Moxie, as a junior fellow student, certainly couldn't ask his senior brother to help clean up the dishes. He tactfully started to clean up the dishes himself.
Wencai wanted to come by himself, but was stopped by Li Moye. He had been with his uncle for many years, and his uncle had taught him very well about respecting the elders. As a junior brother, he certainly couldn't sit like a big master and let his senior brother clean up. This was not in accordance with etiquette.
Fortunately, Li Moxie did a lot of work at home, and the system also had a skill called [Proficient in Housekeeping]. It was just that Li Moxie had the system hide all these skills.
Uncle Jiu watched his young apprentice doing housework in an orderly and natural way. He was obviously not as spoiled as other young masters. He was also very respectful to his teachers. He was extremely satisfied.
It was the first time for Wencai to have the experience of being the elder brother and watching the younger brother working. However, he was not as happy as he thought. Instead, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Of course, if the person being punished now was Qiu Sheng, he would definitely be very happy to do it. He might even cross his legs and point out what he did wrong.
Instead, it was this junior fellow apprentice whom he regarded as a family member who was cleaning up, and he felt a little embarrassed.
After all, his junior brother had just joined the school, and the money for food was paid by this junior brother. In addition, this junior brother of his had studied abroad. Even if Wencai was not very good, he knew the value of studying abroad.
He always felt that his junior fellow apprentice was a man who could do great things and shouldn't do such rough work.
But when he was about to go up to help, he was stopped by his master.
