"Have you nagged someone like that?" Chang Le looked at Fangzheng in surprise.
Fangzheng thought for a moment and said, "That's right."
"When?" Chang Le asked subconsciously.
Fangzheng thought for a moment and said, "Back then, This Penniless Monk was about a year old."
Chang Le was taken aback for a moment before he shook his head and said, "He's still a child at a year old. His limbs are unstable and he's very curious. It's normal."
Fangzheng nodded and said, "That's right. Back then, his body hadn't fully developed, so everything he did was normal. As a father, he could tolerate it, but when a father gets old and sick, he won't be able to coordinate. His brain won't work well. Wouldn't that be abnormal? "
When Chang Le heard that, he looked at Fangzheng in surprise.
A glint flashed in Fangzheng's eyes as Chang Le felt the world in front of him blur. Following that, the world in front of him changed …
Chang Le looked at the door in front of him in shock. He was dumbfounded as he constantly rubbed his eyes and looked around.
This was an old corridor. The staircase's handrails and door were from the 80s or 90s. There was a 'Fu' character on the door, and there were couplets on both sides of the character.
Looking at this scene, Chang Le felt that it was so familiar. He exclaimed, "This … This is my childhood home? I've almost forgotten what it looks like! But, why am I back here? Have I been reborn? "
Unfortunately, no one answered Chang Le's question.
At that moment, an innocent child's voice came from downstairs. "Daddy, what did you buy?"
"Daddy bought noodles." A familiar man's voice sounded. His voice was filled with magnetism, amiability, and warmth!
At that moment, Chang Le's eyes turned red. He could tell that it was his father's voice!
"Daddy, what did you buy?" the child asked again.
"Daddy bought noodles. When we're home, can Daddy make dumplings for Lele to eat?" the man said with a chuckle.
"Alright, Lele wants to eat dumplings!" the boy shouted excitedly.
"Alright, let Lele eat big dumplings. Let Lele eat all of them," the man said.
At the same time, the two of them appeared in front of Chang Le. A man wearing an old-fashioned vest carried a two-year-old boy on his back and slowly walked upstairs with a small bag of noodles in one hand.
Upon seeing the two people, Chang Le immediately recognized them. They were him and his father, Chang Jianghe!
"Dad …" Chang Le called out subconsciously.
Unfortunately, Chang Jianghe didn't seem to be able to see or hear him. He carried the young Chang Le to Chang Le's side and prepared to open the door.
When Chang Le saw this, he subconsciously reached out to grab it. In the end, his hand passed through Chang Jianghe's body.
Chang Le was stunned …
"Daddy, what's on the door?" Little Chang Le asked.
"This is the word 'Fu', a big 'Fu' character. It brings good fortune to our family. With it, Lele can grow up happily every day, "Chang Jianghe said.
Xiao Chang said happily, "Fortune … Daddy, let's bring the fortune home, okay?"
"Lele, this is hung on the door. You can't bring it into the house." Chang Jianghe answered patiently and opened the door with one hand.
After entering the house, Chang Jianghe placed Le Le on the ground and said, "Daddy is going to make dumplings. Can Le Le play by itself for a while?"
"Not good." Little Chang Le hurriedly shook his head and grabbed Chang Jianghe's pants.
"Then, Lele, follow Dad to the kitchen and watch Dad cook something delicious for you, okay?" Chang Jianghe asked.
"Alright," Little Chang Le said happily.
After entering the kitchen, Little Chang Le looked up and asked, "Daddy, what are you doing?"
Chang Jianghe said with a smile, "Daddy is cutting the filling."
Little Chang Le asked, "Why?"
As Chang Jianghe minced the cabbage, he explained to Little Chang Le. He was busy, but he never ignored Little Chang Le. It was as though he had endless patience with Little Chang Le.
It was time to eat …
"Daddy, Lele wants to eat dumplings," Little Chang Le shouted as he stared at the golden egg.
Chang Jianghe said with a smile, "Alright, Lele will eat the dumplings. Give them to Lele. Lele will grow strong and healthy. "
"Dumplings, delicious! Delicious! Dumplings! Lele wants more, "Little Chang Le shouted after taking a bite.
"Alright, let Lele eat …"
"Daddy, are eggs laid by a hen?"
"That's right. Old hens lay eggs, the kind of old hens that cluck …"
"Clucking … Can Lele lay them?"
"When Lele grows up, he can."
"Then Lele has to grow up quickly …"
Pa!
"Wow …" Little Chang Le was overjoyed. He swept the bowl on the table to the ground and smashed it into pieces. He immediately cried in fright.
Chang Jianghe hurriedly hugged Little Chang Le in his arms and said with a smile, "Alright, Lele, don't cry. It's just a broken bowl. When Lele grows up, he won't break the bowl … Lele, sit here and don't move. Daddy will clean up the bowl, alright? "
"Alright …" When Little Chang Le heard Chang Jianghe say that, he stopped crying. However, he still watched pitifully as Chang Jianghe cleaned up the shattered bowl on the ground. The two dumplings that fell to the ground were also picked up. Chang Jianghe took them to the kitchen and after washing them, he poured them into his bowl. Then, he picked up a clean dumpling and placed it on a small plate before handing it to Lele.
Chang Le stood by the side and watched with reddened eyes. He mumbled, "I remember now. Back then, I broke all the bowls at home … However, Daddy never scolded me. Also, dumplings. I love eating Daddy's dumplings. Whenever Daddy has time and some spare money, he will make dumplings for me to eat … "
"Daddy, dumplings are delicious."
"Yes, delicious."
"Daddy, the skin of the dumplings is so beautiful. Look …"
"Yes, it's beautiful."
"Daddy, the dumpling soup is delicious."
"Then drink more."
"Daddy, there's meat in the sedan! Look! "
"What a huge amount of meat. Lele, quickly eat …"
…
Upon hearing the conversation between the father and son and seeing his father patiently answer his questions, Chang Le cried. He covered his face and cried. "Daddy, I'm sorry. I'm not human … I was wrong …"
"Amitabha. Patron, it's getting late. Go home early." At that moment, a Buddhist proclamation sounded.
Chang Le was taken aback. Only then did he recall that he shouldn't be here. He should be sitting on a chair in the park and chatting with a monk!
In the blink of an eye, Chang Le was surprised to discover that he was still sitting on a chair. The monk in tattered clothes was smiling at him.
"This … I … Master, I just …" Chang Le did not know what to say.
Fangzheng smiled. "Patron, go home early."
"Yes … I'll go home first. Master, why aren't you going home? "Chang Le asked.
Fangzheng said with a bitter smile, "This Penniless Monk is temporarily homeless …"
"Then why don't you go to my place? My place still has space. How about it? "Chang Le asked.
Fangzheng was really hungry. Furthermore, he could accept the gift, so he nodded in agreement.
