Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Good child, mother only wants you to understand one thing. People should know how to be content and grateful. When you don’t know what to choose, think about it. If you do this, what will be the consequences of failure? If you can bear it, then do it. If you can’t, then don’t do it.”
“Of course, you should never regret your choice. There is no medicine for regret in this world,” Madam Hu said seriously.
“I understand, Mother. I’ll remember your words.” Zhang Cong hurriedly nodded.
“Yes, go get some water. Tell Young Miss and Young Master to wash their hands and eat.” Seeing that her son was obedient, Madam Hu revealed a satisfied smile on her face. There was no need to say this kind of thing too many times. It was only useful if the child remembered it.
“I know, mother.” Zhang Cong was already considered mature. He carefully thought about what his mother said and felt that it made sense, so he remembered it.
Chu Heng did not go home at noon, so they did not need to wait for anyone.
Madam Hu brought the dishes to the table.
Soon, the table was filled with food, and the fragrance of the dishes overflowed.
Lin Zhongjin followed Chu Ziluo into the central room and smelled the strong fragrance of meat. He had not eaten meat since entering Deming Temple.
Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo walked to their respective seats and sat down.
“Brother Zhongjin, you can sit opposite my brother.” Chu Ziluo arranged a seat for him.
Lin Zhongjin nodded and sat down, right beside Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu and Madam Hu came over with rice. They saw that the three children were seated and the atmosphere seemed to be good. They did not expect that they would get along well after such a short while.
“Mother.” Chu Ziluo greeted Ye Muyu sweetly when she saw her enter.
Ye Muyu bent down and placed the rice in front of Lin Zhongjin and Chu Ziluo.
She then patted her daughter’s head gently. “Be good. Eat quickly.” “Madam Hu, you guys should go and eat too,” Ye Muyu said gently.
“Yes, Madam.” Madam Hu smiled and bowed.
After Madam Hu left, there were only four people in the room. Ye Muyu said,
“Zhongjin, I made some meat today. I wonder if you can eat it?”
In fact, Ye Muyu felt that since he had already renounced asceticism, he would definitely be able to eat it. However, Lin Zhongjin’s aura was somewhat different. Moreover, after asking Zhang Cong, he found out that among the children who came to the village this time, he was the only one who had shaved his head.
Perhaps the other party still had to abide by the rules.
Lin Zhongjin put the prayer beads aside. Originally, he had just returned from
the temple ana was going to sostam from meat for three says. Althougn was not compulsory, he had been a Buddhist for many years. He could endure it for another three days.
However, when he smelled the fragrance of the meat on the table, he actually had a rare desire to eat. This was very rare. After all, he had already quit eating meat for six years.
Ye Muyu was surprised that Lin Zhongjin did not say anything, but he did not ask further.
Chu Ziluo, on the other hand, was used to Lin Zhongjin’s personality. She picked up a piece of red braised pork with her unused chopsticks and handed it to Lin Zhongjin. She did not put it down. Instead, she asked, “Brother Zhongjin, do you want to eat? I’ll give it to you if you want to eat it.”
She was very attentive. She was afraid that Lin Zhongjin would be shy and not dare to eat, but she was also worried that he could not eat meat, so she put it in front of his bowl and did not put it down. Instead, she asked again and only put it down after she was sure.
Although Lin Zhongjin was very mature, he was still a child. In the end, he could not resist the temptation of the meat fragrance and let out a soft hum from his throat.
Chu Ziluo smiled and placed the braised pork into his bowl. “Brother Zhongjin, hurry up and eat. My mother’s cooking is delicious..”
