After watching Dong Bijun leave, Xiao Zheng tilted his head slightly to look at Ye Yuhua, who still had a kind expression on her face, and said with a meaningful smile, "Mother-in-law, if I were an outsider, I really wouldn't know who Old Lin's real mother is."
"Nonsense." Dong Bijun glared at Xiao Zheng and scolded softly. "What kind of guest is Auntie? You, on the other hand, rarely come here. Auntie can't just let you serve her, right? "
These days, Dong Bijun would visit Lin Huayin every day, and not just once. She was more diligent and affectionate than Ye Yuhua. Why wouldn't Lin Huayin see Dong Bijun off?
"That's good." Dong Bijun nodded as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. "No, I have to go see her. You guys eat first. I'll sit with her for a while. "
"I don't think Huayin can come." Xiao Zheng said with a troubled expression.
"How can I —" Xiao Zheng quickly shook his head. "You are a guest, after all. We can do this."
After lunch, everyone sat in the dining room and chatted. Xiao Zheng's mind wasn't on that, but on the master waiting for Dong Bijun at the gate.
"Alright," Xiao Zheng said and ran out of the door. "I'll go get Auntie Jing."
Then, he left the kitchen and went to the wing room worriedly.
Other than a master, Xiao Zheng couldn't think of a second person. As for why he was watching him. Did he want to ambush him in the temple for revenge? If that was the case, then this master was too stupid.
Three days passed quickly. Early in the morning, Dong Bijun and Ye Yuhua met in the temple and continued the chanting from the first two days. She listened to Ye Yuhua's understanding of Buddhist scriptures and asked her questions while studying. The atmosphere was friendly, but not disharmonious. Who could tell that these two women were like fire and water for the same man?
"Just looking at it makes me hungry. The taste must be special. "Xiao Zheng took a bite with his chopsticks and gave a thumbs up. "It's delicious. Refreshing. Just this dish is enough for three bowls of rice. "
…
Xiao Zheng teased, "Alright, alright, Hua Yin. You really can sit still. "
Smiling, Ye Yuhua stood up and said, "With Buddha in my heart, I am at ease."
"Just make it according to your taste. Auntie can eat anything. I'm not picky, "Dong Bijun said with a loving smile. He glanced at the shredded lettuce in Xiao Zheng's basket and smiled. "All the dishes on the table were cooked by Big Sister. Why don't I cook this dish? Let Xiao Zheng comment on it. "
The food in the temple was light. Other than the basic seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, there were not many seasonings to remove the smell. After all, monks were vegetarians. No matter how tricky a vegetable dish was, it was impossible to use cinnamon and anise to enhance its flavor. Therefore, in the plate of stir-fried shredded lettuce, other than adding some garlic, it basically maintained its original color. There wasn't even any soy sauce or vinegar.
Even her biological mother would have nothing to say if she treated her stepmother like this, right?
"What's wrong? Is he sick? "Dong Bijun asked worriedly. "I have medicine in my room. Go get it for her."
"Go get Huayin. She should be hungry too, "Dong Bijun said with a concerned expression.
Dong Bijun said beautiful words, and the smile on her face was especially sincere. It made people feel very comfortable.
"Mm. You're right, Big Sister. "Dong Bijun nodded with a smile. The group passed through the temple and came to the front door. The expert had already packed up and was waiting at the door. When he saw his master, he quickly handed over the cloak. Then, he humbly walked past Dong Bijun and looked at Xiao Zheng with a sincere expression. "Mr. Xiao, I've heard of your deeds in Yanjing. I also know that you're an extraordinary expert. I've admired the strong since I was young, especially outstanding young experts like Mr. Xiao. I wonder if I'll have the chance to learn from Mr. Xiao and learn from him. "
In this temple, who would be stalking him without anyone noticing? Who would have such a great hatred for him?
"Huayin," Ye Yuhua corrected Xiao Zheng with a kind expression.
These days, Xiao Zheng always felt that there was a pair of vicious eyes staring at him from behind. Although he didn't look back, he could still feel the viciousness in the eyes.
Of course, the expert didn't attack Xiao Zheng in the temple. First of all, there was another powerful expert in this temple besides Xiao Zheng. Li Jing. Not to mention that Xiao Zheng was not an opponent to be trifled with, Li Jing, who had been a monk for 20 years, would not allow the expert to do whatever he wanted in the temple.
Lin Huayin, who had been pretending to be sick for three days, finally had no reason to stay in bed. Dong Bijun was going down the mountain after lunch, so she had to see her off personally. This was courtesy and a return gift.
Xiao Zheng turned around and saw Dong Bijun. He carried the washed basket and greeted her, "I'm thinking about what to make for you with Aunt Ye."
Xiao Zheng took the basket and was about to go to the water tank outside the kitchen to wash the vegetables. Dong Bijun, who was dressed simply, suddenly appeared at the door with a gentle smile, "What are you talking about? Why are you so happy? "
Ye Yuhua smiled and turned back to add some firewood to the stove. She said, "Let's get ready to eat."
During the days when Dong Bijun was on the mountain, Xiao Zheng finally saw how important people got along with each other. Even a woman's ability to control herself was not something that an ordinary person could compare to. Three days was not long, but it was not short either. Xiao Zheng found that Ye Yuhua and Dong Bijun did not blush or blush for anything. Even a nitpicky woman like Lin Huayin couldn't find any fault with Dong Bijun. It had to be said that Dong Bijun was a powerful woman and a woman with a strong heart. If it were an ordinary woman, she would be restless and uncomfortable after staying in this temple for a quarter of an hour, which obviously didn't belong to her. But Dong Bijun was different. She not only became the host, but also lived very freely. She didn't feel that anyone hated her at all. They hated her. Even if Li Jing's attitude was obvious enough. She was still indifferent and treated everyone in the temple as gently as water. She chanted sutras with Ye Yuhua every day and talked about Buddhist principles. Unless one had great perseverance, it would be difficult to do so.
It was obvious that Ye Yuhua didn't want to talk about these sensitive topics with Xiao Zheng. As for why, it might be because she had cultivated for more than twenty years and had long become indifferent to the mundane world. Or maybe as an elder, she shouldn't talk in front of the younger generation. It would damage her image and hurt others.
She ignored Xiao Zheng's objections and walked into the kitchen with the basket. After meeting Ye Yuhua, she put on the apron that Xiao Zheng gave her and skillfully washed the wok, heated the oil, and started cooking. The series of actions were as smooth as flowing water. She didn't look like a rich wife who didn't do any cooking, but a virtuous woman with excellent cooking skills.
Dong Bijun slowly stood up and said with regret, "Leisurely and happy days always pass very quickly." "I really wish I could stay here for a few more days. I want to listen to my sister's teachings and look at the scenery on the mountain top. Unfortunately, there are things at the foot of the mountain that are bothering me, so I can't stay for long. "
After five minutes of stir-frying the lettuce, Dong Bijun skillfully lifted the wok and carefully placed it on the plate. She smiled at Xiao Zheng and said, "Xiao Zheng, try it."
Ye Yuhua had really let go, but what about Dong Bijun?
"It's not that serious." Xiao Zheng quickly shook his head. "I'm just tired from skiing the day before yesterday. My legs have been sore for the past two days, and I don't have the strength to get out of bed. "
