Chapter 345 – Buy Son! (1/2)

Chapter 345: Buy son!

Firm noodles and slightly sour soup, accompanied with a spoonful of perfectly simmered chicken meat and a little chilly, it was the most delicious food in the world. It tasted 100 times or even 1000 times better than that expensive Mt Gong colourful chicken that Li Muyang had eaten with Master Xiahou Qianbai at Starry Sky Academy.

It was the same familiar recipe, and the same familiar taste.

How long Li Muyang had left Jiangnan for, was how long he had been away from his mother, and how long had he not eaten this noodle soup.

With a bite, Li Muyang's eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears.

When he was away from home he noticed that he had grown up and matured a lot but once he returned to his parents and family, he turned into a child who would always be attached to them.

“Muyang, eat more.” Luo Qi was fondly watching Li Muayng drinking the noodle soup in big mouthfuls, constantly urging him to eat more, and had not touched her own noodle soup.

“Yes.” Li Muyang repeatedly nodded. “It's really delicious.” Mother, you should have some.”

“Good I'll also eat.” Luo Qi was beaming from ear to ear. The day before she was bedridden, but as soon as she heard that her son had returned she instantly became energetic and in high spirits. A son was a mother's biggest mental and physical pillar.

Li Yan casually pushed the grilled meat pastry that he bought over to Li Muayng, saying in a low voice, “These are from w.a.n.g Er's grilled meat pastry shop at the West of town, I heard it's a shop with a long established reputation in Tiandu, there was a long line of people.”

Luo Qi shot a stare at Li Yan, pus.h.i.+ng the grilled meat pastry away, “Our Son hasn't finished his bowl of noodle soup, how could you let him eat food that are bought from the outside? Are those things healthy? Isn't it more greasy than my noodle soup?”

“This——” Li Yan mumbled. “Didn't you tell me to buy it?”

“Put it to one side first. Wait for your son to eat two bowls of noodles soup before he eat your grilled meat pastry. I made a big pot of noodle soup, if he does not finish it are you going to?”

“——”

Li Yan also wanted to say something. But seeing the expression on his wife's face, tactfully shut up.

Li Muyang looked at his father with great sympathy, and the two exchanged a glance, both had a wry smile and dared not say a word.

Li s.h.i.+nian, after was.h.i.+ng her face, grabbed a grilled meat pastry and stuffed it in her mouth, with both sides of her cheeks puffed up, said to father Li Yan as she was chewing, “I like eating grilled meat pastry. And w.a.n.g Er's grilled meat pastry is different from others, its not easy to buy——Father, this grilled meat pastry is really delicious.”

Li Yan's face brightened, looking caringly at his daughter. “Eat more if you like it. You've gotten thinner recently.”

“Thin looks better.” Li s.h.i.+nian gulped down the meat pastry and made a cute expression, “Don't I look pretty?”

Li Yan repeatedly nodded. “Very pretty. Very pretty. My daughter is always pretty.”

Luo Qi set down a bowl of steaming noodle soup in front of Li s.h.i.+nian: “You have to finish this bowl of noodle soup for me.”

“I can't eat.” Li s.h.i.+nian had a troubled look on her face. “Besides, Sister Xiaoxin will come pick me up in a moment, we are going to Thousand Buddha Temple to pray for brother. She does not know that brother had safely came back.”

“Thousand Buddha Temple?” Li Muyang looked up at Li s.h.i.+nian, “You are going to Thousand Buddha Temple?”

“Yes.” Li s.h.i.+nian nodded. “We decided yesterday, for that heartless person. But it is strange, we were about to ask Bodhisattva to bless your safe return, and you suddenly came back safely last night. In this case, do we not need to go to Thousand Buddha Temple? Is Bodhisattva efficacious or not?”

PA!

Li s.h.i.+nian was smacked on the forehead.

“A child words carry no harm. She is just talking nonsense, Bodhisattva please don't blame her.” Luo Qi explained in a panicked tone.”

And then she turned to look at Li s.h.i.+nian with an angry stare, “s.h.i.+nian, how can you talk nonsense? Of course, Bodhisattva is efficacious, she must have heard our wishes, so your brother safely returned. You need to go to Thousand Buddha Temple, you have made a sincere promise to Bodhisattva, how can you deceive Bodhisattva?”

Li s.h.i.+nian was covering the part of her head hit by the pair of chopsticks. She casted a grumpy look at the guy that was snickering incessantly, and grumbled, “I did not say I'm not going. I was just finding it strange——”

Li s.h.i.+nian rolled her eyes, saying: “Besides, since brother had came back, then it means that Bodhisattva is efficacious. So, shouldn't the one involved follow us to say thank you to Bodhisattva at the Thousand Buddha Temple?”

Luo Qi was uneasy all of a sudden. “That makes sense. Muyang has safely returned, he should go to Thousand Buddha Temple to offer an incense and redeem a vow. Muyang, why don't you follow your sister to Thousand Buddha Temple?”

“It's not too convenient.” Li Yan who had been silent all this time suddenly interrupted, “Muyang's ident.i.ty is too sensitive, and the Cui family has enmity towards him. If s.h.i.+nian goes to Thousand Buddha Temple with the young lady of the Cui family, they naturally would have bodyguards. If the Cui family is aware of Muyang's return, they will surely want to kill him. Wouldn't it be dangerous for Muyang?”

“You're right. It's better not to go. We just need to be sincerely grateful in our hearts, Bodhisattva knows everything, she will understand our difficulties. Besides, s.h.i.+nian can go help your brother explain, so that Bodhisattva can feel our sincerity.”

Li s.h.i.+nian curled her lips, saying, “If Bodhisattva is omniscient, omnipotent. Then if brother goes to redeem a vow, Bodhisattva will certainly protect brother.”

“Hey, you——” Luo Qi lifted the chopsticks about to hit her again.

Li s.h.i.+nian promptly ran away, shouting, “Favouritism. When brother wasn't here, I am the most well-behaved daughter in the whole world and you listened to everything I say. As soon as brother came back, you scolded me several times, but also want to hit me——”
