Chapter 178 Talking about Filial Piety
After hearing this, Niuniu hesitated for a long time before saying, "I...I'd better hate him!"
Niu Niu doesn't want to go against her family, she wants to be a good child.
Gu Mingda was stunned when he heard this.
"Niuniu likes that old Taoist priest? Niuniu can tell daddy the truth, okay?" Zhang Yunniang asked.
Niuniu didn't want to lie to her mother, so she nodded gently and said, "He has a nice scent."
Zhang Yunniang and Gu Mingda looked at each other. When they thought back, they only remembered the scent of sandalwood on the old Taoist priest.
To them, the smell was no different from that of a Taoist temple. Why did Niu Niu like it so much?
"Niuniu thinks he is a good person." Niuniu said again.
Compared with the previous sentence, this sentence is much more lethal. The family members have already reached a consensus. Niu Niu feels that good people are mostly not bad people, at least they have not turned bad yet.
Gu Mingda thought for a moment and said to Niuniu, "Daddy is wrong. I should have asked Niuniu what she thought just now."
Niuniu immediately said, "Why should Daddy apologize? Niuniu will never blame Daddy."
Hearing this, Gu Mingda's heart softened.
"Dad, I will help you find the old Taoist priest in a while, how about that?" Gu Mingda asked gently.
Niu Niu believes that she doesn't want to be different from her family, but Gu Mingda is afraid that his daughter really likes the old Taoist priest, and is also afraid that the old Taoist priest may represent an opportunity for his daughter.
Niuniu shook her head and said, "Although I felt close to him the moment I saw him, I didn't have to see him."
As if she was afraid that Gu Mingda would keep thinking about this, Niuniu asked again: "Dad, can I have some wontons? I saw the wonton stand before, but I wasn't hungry then. Now I'm so hungry."
When Gu Mingda heard his daughter say she was hungry, he didn't care about anything else and hurriedly carried her to the wonton stall.
Gu Zhao eagerly pulled Zhang Yuniang to the wonton stall, fearing that they would be late and miss the hot wontons.
Niu Niu’s first favorite food is ginger, and her second favorite food is wonton.
It was at the wonton stall last year that she became a child loved by her mother. In Niu Niu’s short memory, wontons seem to always carry the scent of her mother.
Niuniu took a spoon and took a bite, and immediately said happily: "It's delicious!"
Niu Niu always has a magical power when eating. Gu Mingda and his wife, who were not hungry at first, couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and then the whole family concentrated on eating at the wonton stall.
While eating, Gu Zhao made a wish: "It would be nice if there was roast chicken to go with it."
Gu Mingda glanced at his unfortunate son, then put down his chopsticks and went to buy a roast chicken.
When Gu Zhao saw that his wish came true, he immediately became more and more demanding.
"I'm afraid roast chicken alone is not enough. I just saw someone selling meat buns. Oh my God, can I eat meat buns today?"
When Gu Mingda heard this, he did not move immediately, but asked others if they wanted to eat meat buns.
The others shook their heads.
When they were out, Gu Mingda would basically satisfy the children's requests as long as they were not outrageous. He got up and bought a bun and put it in front of Gu Zhao.
"I really want to eat candied haws. I can eat five strings at a time!" Gu Zhao said loudly. He had a beautiful dream. If he bought five at a time, he could keep four to eat slowly.
Zhang Yunniang was the first to frown: "You haven't finished changing your teeth yet, so you are not allowed to eat candy."
However, Gu Zhao did not take his mother's words seriously. Instead, he opened his big eyes and looked at Gu Mingda pitifully.
Gu Mingda chuckled and said, "I really want to beat up kids. I can beat up five kids like you at once."
Gu Zhao turned off the engine instantly.
After leaving the stall, Gu Mingda said again: "This roast chicken tastes good. I will buy another one for my mother to try."
Niuniu took out some money and said, "I'll pay! Niuniu has money! Niuniu will not only buy it for grandpa and grandma, but also for godfather, godmother and Aunt Liu!"
Gu Mingda immediately said, "I'll buy your grandparents' ones, you buy one for your godfather and godmother."
Old Mrs. Gu and Old Man Gu are old and tired from the long journey, so they did not go out today but stayed in the inn to rest.
"Is this the roast chicken bought at the dock? Was it chosen by Yunniang? You don't need to taste this roast chicken, you can tell it's delicious just by smelling it! My daughter-in-law is so considerate, she always thinks of us when she's away!" When Old Mrs. Gu said this, her voice was very loud, as if she was afraid that others couldn't hear her.
Zhang Yunniang knew her mother-in-law's temper very well, and she was deliberately trying to make her daughter-in-law look good.
She smiled and explained, "Mother, this was bought by my husband to honor you and father. He thought it tasted good, so he wanted you to have a taste too."
Old Lady Gu added, "He is a grown man with a rough heart. How could he know so much? You must have reminded him."
Mrs. Li, who was not far away, watched this scene with red eyes due to envy. She didn't know how many good things she had given to Old Lady Sun as a filial gift, but her mother-in-law didn't even help her with the facial and didn't remember the favor at all. She even gave the gifts to the other two daughters-in-law.
While she was envious, Niu Niu came running over holding a roast chicken wrapped in oil paper.
"I bought two! One for my godfather and godmother, and one for Aunt Liu!" Niu Niu handed out the roast chicken like she was presenting a treasure.
No matter if it was Sun Jiaxing, Li or Liu Xiaoru, they all looked extremely moved.
"My dear, you went out to eat something delicious and still remembered me. You are so nice to me!" said Liu Xiaoru.
If we really talk about the cost, the money Liu Xiaoru spent on Niu Niu is much higher than what Niu Niu gave her in return. But even the slightest return from Niu Niu would make Liu Xiaoru deeply moved.
There was something different between Li and Sun Jiaxing. This was the first time that Li received filial respect from her children. She looked at her daughter and immediately turned on her filter: "Niuniu has grown up and knows how to respect her parents..."
In her heart, she almost elevated this tiny action to the level of twenty-four filial piety.
Seeing them happy, Niuniu felt happy too. Then she ran to Old Lady Gu and explained, "Grandpa and grandma, it's not that I don't want to be filial to you, it's that Daddy is too filial. I can't beat him in paying the money."
After hearing this explanation, Old Lady Gu was overjoyed and said, "Grandma knew that our sweet boy was the most filial child. Grandma's love for you was not in vain!"
Everyone in the inn was having a good time, but the young man in brocade clothes at the dock looked pale.
Originally, he wanted to rescue the Gu family and took the initiative to entangle the old Taoist priest.
But when the old Taoist priest really told his fortune, he found that every word he said was accurate. Not only did he know how many people were in his family, he even knew at what age he would start eating meat and what color and pattern of dog he would raise.
"Oh, if I were you, how could I still have the mood to go to Linzhou for fun? I'll go north to Beijing now. You, you don't even know that a disaster is about to happen!" said the old Taoist priest with a sigh.
The young man in brocade clothes knelt down on the spot: "Please save me, Taoist priest, and save the lives of my entire family!"
