Dali Langjun’s Ancient Way of Raising a Family - Chapter 44

Qi You’s face was pale, and asked him, “Which is not delicious.”

The small pillar pondered for a while, and pointed to the first bowl without hesitation.

Miao’er’s face was red, and tears came down all of a sudden, “Brother You, I’m sorry, I only thought that Chen rice was cheap, so I bought it. I won’t be able to buy it anymore.”

Unexpectedly, Qi You didn’t get annoyed and laughed, and said with satisfaction: “Yes, now I know how to make excuses for myself.”

“Brother You.” Miao’er was frightened, and she shook her head desperately, “Brother You, I was wrong, I was wrong.” She cried pitifully, and her tears fell on the ground.

Qi Youpin felt a little ambiguity about what he said just now. He pulled Miao’er’s arm dumbfounded and sat down with someone. He softened his voice and coaxed: “Don’t cry, I mean to blame you. I just want to tell. You, what is the final result of one thing, it depends on what you say.”

There were still teardrops on Miao’er’s eyelashes. Hearing this, she raised her head blankly.

Qi You pointed to the old rice, “Although this old rice doesn’t taste very good, it can still fill your stomach, and it’s cheaper, right.”

Miao’er nodded. The small pillar seems to understand but not understand. Qi’s father and Qi’s mother secretly agreed, but did not speak.

Qi You: “This is the first kind of rhetoric.”

Qi You changed the subject, “But I can also say that new rice is only a few cents more expensive, why should you buy stale rice because of the mere few cents? This rice is the staple food of the day. If the staple food doesn’t taste good, it’s delicious. The dishes are also a bit worse. And buying rice is not like others, buying more at one time, which means that you will have to eat this unpalatable old rice for some time.”

Miao’er was anxious, “Brother You, I’m sorry”

Qi You waved his hand, “I didn’t blame you, I just told you this second kind of rhetoric.”

“You just buy some food, the same result, but there are different opinions.”

“Just like you caught the money thief today, some people think it’s fine to get the money back, and some people think the money thief is hateful and should be beaten. At this time, you should listen to who else.”

Qi You stopped talking and gave Miao’er and other people time to think.

After waiting for a while, Qi Youcai seemed to sigh with emotion, “Don’t believe that justice is in favor of people, because people’s hearts are always biased. Otherwise, why should the government pay attention to a confession in black and white when handling a case.”

“At any time, maintaining your own opinion is the most important thing.”

When Qi You finished ordering, he picked up the small bowl and ate a bowl of old rice with a wooden spoon.

Miao’er looked very uncomfortable, “Brother You, eat new rice. I did something wrong, it’s me.”

“Nothing. I was hungry before, and I hadn’t eaten anything before. At that time, I had Chen rice to eat, and I would wake up with a smile when I dreamed.” Qi You gulped the rice and finished it in a few minutes.

Qi Mu and the others also ate silently, and the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while.

…

Before going to bed at night. Someone knocked on Qi You’s door.

He was not surprised to see the girl outside the door.

“come in.”

He poured a glass of water for Miao’er, and the candlelight dangled faintly, reflecting her bright face.

Qi You: “Do you want to understand?”

Miao’er turned the cup in his hand, nodded somewhat tangledly, and then shook his head again.

Qi You laughed, “What does this mean?”

Miao Er: “Brother You, I think I made a mistake in buying rice today, but from your mouth, I think you didn’t think I was wrong. So I don’t know whether I was wrong or not.”

Qi You laughed and laughed, this tongue twister said…

He cleared his cough, pressed his fist to his lips, suppressed the smile in his throat, and said solemnly: “Then I will tell you a story first. Your character.”

“Once upon a time, there was a hero with great martial arts and hatred of evil. One day, when he passed a certain village, he saw a robber burning and looting in the village. He killed the robber. Do you think the hero did the right thing?”

Miao’er nodded, she hates robbers most

“But the murdered robber was a big filial son. There was also an 80-year-old mother on the robber. When the robber died, his mother was no one to support. So his mother hated the hero very much and took the money robbed by the robber. Find someone to kill the hero. After hearing this, do you still think the robber should kill it?”

This time Miao’er hesitated, but fortunately nodded in the end.

Qi You asked again, “If you were the hero and you wanted to kill the robber, and the robber damned on the ground and begged you to raise your hand, would you let the robber out?”

Miao’er: “I…”

“Brother You, I don’t know.”

Qi You was not angry, “Look, you have three different reactions to the same thing. Do you know why you are doing this?”

Miao Er asked humbly and looked at Qi You unblinkingly.

Qi You knocked on the table with his fingers and said, “A question of position.”

“The first time, you were on the side of an innocent villager who was robbed, so you felt that the robber should be killed. The second time, you heard that there was an old mother on the robber. You took the position of the old man and hesitated. Third Second, you are even more hesitated in the face of the begging old man.”

“Miao’er, do you think that your experience is similar to that of the hero. The money thief was wrong to steal things, but he made up a little lie about his family, and you hesitated. Follow the plea and you will be shaken.”

“Have you ever thought that if the person who was stolen today was not you, but the hard-earned money of an old man who worked hard for a year of farming, would you still think that stealing money is justifiable?”

Miao’er: “But we took the money back.”

Qi You: “So if I kill a good person and then save another good person, am I not guilty.”

“The reason why a country has laws is because some things are not easy to define. If people are allowed to judge, and the sentence is fair and free, I am afraid that many people in that prison should be acquitted.”

“Of course, it doesn’t rule out wrongdoing.”

“But the money thief grabs things first, and hurts people with a knife. He can’t be excused just because he didn’t cause us harm in the end. Because we are alive, not because of the other side’s kindness, but thanks to us. I react quickly.”

“There are good people in this world, and many bad people, but most of them are ordinary people who are standing and talking. If they were the ones who were stolen today, do you think they would still say “Forget it”.” Qi You stopped to drink and looked at Miao’er.

Miao’er thoughtfully.

Qi You: “When you came in, you asked me if you were wrong today. I can tell you clearly. From my standpoint, you were wrong.”

“I gave you enough money, and also showed that the family is not bad, but you still bought Chen Mi. So I think you are wrong.”

“But from your standpoint, you just want to save money, so you’re right.”

Miao’er:…

So, Brother You still didn’t make it clear that she was wrong?

No, Brother You said. It’s just that she didn’t dare to face it.

Because this is the first time You Ge blamed her in so long.

Miao’er left Qi You’s room in a daze. After returning to the house, lying on the bed, thinking about tonight’s things over and over all night.

She tossed and turned awake all night, and the others did not get much better.

Qi You was wondering who sent the “money thief” today. Of course, Jincheng hated him a lot, after all, he blocked other people’s fortune.

What he wanted to understand more was what the other party meant. What is the purpose.

And Qi Mu and the others are more thinking about Qi You’s words, how much money there is in the family, and what they will do to make a living in the future.

Therefore, when they got up the next day, everyone had big panda eyes on their faces.

Everyone ate their breakfast listlessly, and Qi You announced, “I didn’t buy enough things yesterday. Today we will go down the mountain again.”

Everyone: Nothing to Love.jpg

The small pillar was drooping, with a small fleshy face, he sucked his nose, and shrank into a ball softly, lying in Qi You’s arms in a daze, and he lost the enthusiasm of yesterday. .

There are too many people in the mountain, and too complicated, and his little head is not enough.

Last night, his brain hurts so much that he didn’t sleep well all night.

Qi You keenly perceives the child’s slight resistance, and he knows it after thinking about it in his heart.

So, when they got off the mountain today, after they entered the city, he first went to those stalls and bought a lot of small toys for the children.

After the small pillar got the toy, he smiled and looked at Jincheng where people came and went. It’s just that he didn’t rest well last night, so as soon as he relaxed today, he fell asleep for a while.

Qi You saw that he was asleep, and took Miao’er and the others to the drugstore.

When the New Year is approaching, the business of the pharmacy is the worst. Who wants to buy medicine for the New Year?

So when Qi You and the others went in, an apprentice stepped forward to greet them.

Qi You glanced at Miao’er. Miao’er squeezed the money bag in his hand and recalled that Brother You taught her outside the shop. He looked serious and said: “I have been vomiting and diarrhea recently. I have slumps on my neck, scrofula on my neck, blood stasis and abdominal pain. Please give me some saltpeter as medicine.”

When the apprentice heard this, his face changed slightly, and after saying the price, he turned around to pack her a medicine packet.

Miao’er didn’t leave after taking the medicine package, and bought some medicine for the treatment of wind and cold.

Qi You didn’t take someone to the next home until the apprentice packaged the other medicinal materials and handed it to her.

They walked from one pharmacy after another. The people who followed them scolded their mothers, did they have nothing to buy for the Chinese New Year, and went straight to the drugstore.

………

So that night, the master behind them heard the news from the subordinate who was sent out to inquire, and they all looked inexplicable.

Saltpeter, alkali, what can those things do? ? ?

Is it possible that someone in the family named Qi was sick and had to go down the mountain to buy medicinal materials for treatment.

But if that’s the case, who are the old and the little ones behind him?

These people were puzzled, but they became more jealous of Qi You in their hearts.

The surname Qi’s work has no rules, and it is really hard to guard against.

Others didn’t understand, and the Qi family didn’t understand where to go.

Qi You remembered the lessons he had learned before, so after returning home, he explained his thoughts.

Everyone: “Soap, what is that?”

Qi You smiled slightly, “Soap, that’s a good thing.”
