Bai Zhun's handsome and noble little face did not change at all. It was as if he had already predicted this.
"Grandfather, if you have something to do, you can go. I'll be here."
Old Master Bai heard his grandson's indifferent voice. He pulled Little Baldy to the side and said, "Little Ajiu, can you accompany brother Bai Zhun on behalf of grandpa?"
"Yes." Little Baldy blinked her big eyes and said, "Amitabha. Buddha Wuli said that we must learn to help all living things. Grandpa will help others, and I will stay to help brother Bai Zhun. Grandpa, don't worry. I will fight for food for brother. I let him starve."
Old Master Bai:"..."
Fight for food? ? ? ?
He must have heard wrong. The cute Little Ajiu should not be able to say such violent words.
There weren't any time to spare. It was the duty of a soldier to set off immediately on his missions.
In fact, Bai Zhun was already used to it.
When Old Master Bai left, he just stood there quietly and watched.
This way, only two children were left at home alone.
Of course, there were also the driver, the auntie, and the soldiers standing outside the door.
There was no need to worry about the safety measures of the military compound.
If it was because the family did not cook, she could still run out to snatch it. The uncle with the lunch box should not have gone far!
The child was hungry. She reached out and tugged at Bai Zhun's sleeve. "Brother, it's noon now. Should we eat? The master said that if we don't eat on time, we won't grow."
Bai Zhun had yet to speak.
The driver next to him was shocked. "Didn't Little Ajiu eat two big buns just now?"
"That's dry food." Little Baldy seriously flipped her little finger and explained, "It's snacks for the road. Now that we're home, of course we have to eat a proper lunch! Otherwise, Buddha will blame us."
The driver's mouth twitched when he heard that. This was the first time he had seen a child treat a big bun as a snack... also, what the hell would Buddha blaming her for?
"Uncle Liu, go and get Auntie Wang to prepare some vegetarian food and bring it to the second floor." Bai Zhun reached out and touched Little Baldy's head. "Nine, follow me upstairs to wash your hands first."
Little Baldy was also obedient. She knew that she had to wash her hands before eating, so she was held by Bai Zhun. She lifted her short legs with great effort and walked up the stairs step by step. She was especially happy that there was something to eat.
Bai Zhun lowered his head and looked at the little person he was leading. When he saw that her eyes were sparkling, his mood became a lot better.
After entering the bathroom, Little Baldy's head still had the little white cat's tail dangling over the back.
Little Baldy had never seen such a beautiful hand washing basin. There was even a large lotus printed on it. The pure white tiles felt cold and slippery, completely different from the little iron washbasin that she used to wash her hands with in the temple.
Speaking of which, it had to be said that no matter how much money the temple received, the living conditions were still as frugal as ever.
It was the same facilities that were used after the liberation. Even drinking water had to be taken from the well. Little Baldy's favorite thing to do every day was to carry water from the well. Now that there was no need for the child to carry water, the child was really not used to it, and she stared blankly at the beautiful sink and tiptoed to bury her little chubby face in it. As she looked left and right, Little Baldy's tiny feet lifted off the ground and fell into the sink.
"Oo, oo!"
When Bai Zhun heard the noise and came in, he saw that Little Baldy only had her little paw on the rim of the sink, scratching back and forth. She looked like a little turtle that had just come out of its shell.
He shouldn't have let this child wash her own hands. Bai Zhun immediately went forward and saved Little Baldy from the sink.
Little Baldy's nose was red. Her eyes were wide as she said, "Master is right. Disrespecting Buddha is punishable. I will never speak ill of others behind their backs again."
"Who did you speak ill of?" Bai Zhun thought that the child would cry. He reached out and rubbed Little Baldy's nose. He began to reflect on whether he had been a bad brother.
Even if he didn't really like children, the situation was different now.
Bai Zhun did not dare to imagine how much water Xiao Guang would have choked down if he had not found her in time..
Chapter 1140 - I'm Going to Get Food For My Brother
Fortunately, he hadn't gone far.
Bai Zhun looked at the pink little face in front of him and deeply reflected on himself.
Little Baldy didn't know that her fall had broken Bai Zhun's heart, and she still said seriously, "I secretly called the Chancellor stupid just now. I won't say that about him anymore. If I really miss him, I'll go back up the mountain and beat him up."
Bai Zhun was speechless.
"I think he would prefer you to secretly scold him in your heart."
This was the first time he knew what it meant to not know whether to laugh or cry.
The Little Baldy's hands had not been washed yet.
Bai Zhun took a look and found that this child was indeed too short and could barely reach the sink. Without thinking, he took the Little Baldy's hands in his.
Bai Zhun was originally from the military and this was his first time serving others. First he pumped some hand soap onto her hands, then he turned on the tap and looked down at Ajiu's hands as he washed them for her.
Little Baldy saw that her hands were full of bubbles, and her eyes widened.
This silly and cute expression made Bai Zhun feel like he was doing a good job. He felt that the child he adopted was completely different from the children in other families.
It wasn't that he had never come into contact with children before. But regardless of whether they were younger or his age, they were always so rowdy and noisy.
But the child in his own house was very cute.
"I'm done washing," Little Baldy said as her tiny stomach growled.
Only now did Bai Zhun truly believe that the child was really hungry and wasn't just saying it casually.
It was also fortunate that Auntie Wang was quick in cooking. When she heard that the young master wanted to eat vegetarian food, she brought back a young monk with her. She chopped up the long beans and green onions and placed them in a wooden basin. Then, she fried six eggs, chopped them up, and placed them inside as well. After that, she placed some peanut oil and thirteen spices together and mixed them together before using these to fill up some buns.
The buns were steamed in a pot while she she used the other side of the kitchen to prepare porridge. She put dates in the porridge. After it was done, Auntie Wang lit the stove again and made a braised eggplant, fried tofu, pickled cuc.u.mber, and some bean paste buns.
These were basically food that all children liked eating.
Little Baldy had just come downstairs with Bai Zhun when she smelled the rich aroma of the steamed buns. She ran over to where the smell was coming from.
She saw that a woman was standing in the kitchen.
Little Baldy's happy little face immediately changed. She quietly moved toward Bai Zhun and asked, "Big brother, why is there a woman in the house? Isn't it very scary?"
Bai Zhun recalled the child saying that the woman at the foot of the mountain was a tiger, and he couldn't help but laugh. "Auntie Wang isn't scary. Look, she's even cooking for you."
"Cooking?" Little Baldy leaned on Bai Zhun's back, and peeked her little head out. She sized up Auntie Wang, who was smiling at her. "Just like how Senior Brother Xuan Hong in the temple is in charge of our meals?"
Bai Zhun nodded.
Little Baldy immediately stood up straight. "That's not scary. Those who know how to cook are not scary."
Auntie Wang was already amuse
d by this child's logic. Moreover, little Ajiu was originally very likable in the first place. Her small face was round and smooth, and her skin was white and tender. Coupled with her bright and big eyes, anyone who saw her would like her.
The vegetable buns were still not done yet, but the bean paste buns were already ready. They were originally bought from the supermarket, so they could be eaten after being heated up. They were just done heating up in the pot.
Auntie Wang saw that the child was looking at her anxiously and knew that the child was hungry. She took out a bean paste bun from the pot and handed it to Xuan Jiu.
Little Baldy was stunned by the sudden surprise. She stretched out two chubby little hands and held the bean paste bun like it was a great treasure to her. She bowed and said, "Amitabha. Thank you, Madam Benefactor."
Madam Benefactor? Auntie Wang could not help but laugh when she heard this title.
The bean paste bun was still very hot. Little Baldy passed it from one hand to another repeatedly. Just as she opened her mouth to take a bite, Bai Zhun stopped her.
Little Baldy raised her head and her cat tail was still wagging. "Big brother, do you want to eat too?"
"I don't want to eat." Bai Zhun sat the child down on a chair by the dining table. Then, he took her bean paste bun and placed it on the plate. He first poked a hole with his wooden chopsticks and blew on it. After he felt that it was no longer hot, he fed it to Xuan Jiu.
Little Baldy whimpered and took a big bite. "It's so sweet!"
Of course bean paste was sweet. Bai Zhun chuckled and reached out to wipe Little Baldy's mouth. Then, he continued to feed her with his chopsticks.
Bai Zhun was not that old himself. No matter how smart he was, he was still a nine-year-old child. Now that he was feeding the Little Baldy, who was two sizes smaller than him, it formed a beautiful scene to look at.
Auntie Wang, on the other hand, was a little stunned as she watched from the side. Although their young master didn't have a difficult personality...
He had never been so close to anyone before.
The children in the courtyard basically all listened to the young master and didn't act mischievously in front of him at all.
This wasn't because of the Bai family's rank in the military, but because the young master gave off the aura of a superior person as soon as he stood there.
Those children were well-behaved when they saw the young master, and the young master never used other people's things.
Now... he was actually feeding the child with a bean paste bun?
Actually, this was nothing. If Auntie Wang found out that her young master was not only feeding the child, but also washed the child's hands, she would definitely be shocked.
One bean paste bun was obviously not enough for Little Baldy. After it was all eaten, little Ajiu turned her head to look at Auntie Wang.
Auntie Wang's heart softened under the gaze of those big, watery eyes. She lifted the lid of the pot and wanted to get another one for the child.
"You're not allowed to eat any more." Bai Zhun's voice was very indifferent. "Buddha said that you have to eat a proper lunch. How are you going to eat vegetables and porridge if you eat so many bean paste buns now?"
Little Baldy frowned. "I can eat all of them."
"When the vegetables buns are cooked, eat them with vegetables." Bai Zhun rolled up the sleeves of her monk robe for her. "Only then will you grow taller."
In the temple, there were usually many staples and few side dishes. However, Little Baldy always had more than others.
"Buddha Wuli also said that we should eat more vegetables." Although Little Baldy was sad that she wasn't getting any more buns, she still obediently put down her chopsticks and sat on the chair while waiting for the meal to begin.
Auntie Wang moved even faster this time. She stirred the wok and soon, the steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables were brought to the dining table. There were also a few small plates meant for vinegar and chili oil.
Little Baldy liked spicy food the most, and Bai Zhun didn't need to feed her anymore. She held a bun with one hand and dipped it into vinegar and chili oil and a small spoon in the other as she drank the porridge.
She ate like everything was delicious, so even Bai Zhun felt that he had an appetite.
However, just as he lowered his head, he saw that the steamed bun in Little Baldy's hand was finished, followed by the second, the third... the sixth? !Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'m-going-to-get-food-for-my-brother_51708107272806898 for visiting.
Bai Zhun turned his head and saw that the silly child's mouth was stuffed with food. Her cheeks were puffy, and she moved her mouth like a little squirrel. At the same time, she also lowered her head and take a mouthful of rice porridge. There was even a piece of the bun skin hanging from the corner of her little mouth...
Chapter 1141 - Make Ajiu Know Her Place
The little white cat had already jumped to the side when Little Baldy was eating.
Only Little Baldy was left standing there with her eyes wide open to meet Bai Zhun's inquisitive gaze.
The child scratched her head in embarrassment and explained shyly, "Buddha Wuli said that I'm growing and must eat more. But I just did the calculations. There are 25 buns in the pot. I'll eat eight and give the rest to you, Auntie Wang, and Uncle Liu. If it's still not enough, I'll go and snatch someone else's food. Isn't there someone in the courtyard holding a lunchbox? There must be food inside."
Auntie Wang had originally planned to pan fry some of the 25 buns for dinner, but she didn't expect...that this child would have such a good appetite.
But Bai Zhun caught the more important part. "In the future, you're not allowed to snatch food from other people. If you're hungry, you can tell me. These steamed buns are all for you. You can eat as much as you want, but just don't overeat. Do you understand?"
As Bai Zhun spoke, he took out a piece of tissue from the tissue box and wiped the child's mouth.
Little Baldy's eyes widened. "But if I finish eating everything, you will have nothing to eat."
"Auntie Wang will cook some more."
As soon as Bai Zhun said this, Auntie Wang smiled and said, "That's right. Young master, there are plenty of buns in the house. Eat as much as you like."
"Amitabha. This penniless monk before you is called Xuan Jiu." Little Baldy stretched out her hand and swallowed the food in her mouth. She then looked at Auntie Wang seriously and said, "Madam Benefactor, you can call me Ajiu."
Auntie Wang felt that this little monk with a straight face was really adorable. She had probably just returned to the secular world, so she was still calling herself a 'penniless monk' like how the monks at a monastery would.
Bai Zhun moved Little Baldy's chair closer to him so that it would be convenient for him to take care of the child.
When Little Baldy saw that there were still buns left, she said to Bai Zhun very seriously, "Then I'll suppress my appetite."
What sort of suppressed appetite was this? She had just eaten six large steamed buns, as well as that bean paste bun earlier...
This meal was exceptionally yummy. The buns were dipped in chili oil, and from time to time, he would pick up some pickled cuc.u.mbers as well. This was the typical way northerners ate, and people in Beijing loved to eat this way.
Before this, beef with soy sauce would definitely be served as well. It would be doused with a special sauce, and would taste especially fragrant in the summer.
However, with Little Baldy around today, Bai Zhun did not eat any meat dishes. He also ate the porridge and steamed buns. His appetite was not worse than usual. On the contrary, he ate even more than usual because of the child next to him.
Little Baldy's favorite dish was the fried egg tofu. This was a local dish, and the cooking method was also different. It was as if the tender tofu was mixed with eggs and it melted in the mouth.
It was extremely delicious.
After eating for about half an hour, Little Baldy stuck out her round little belly and said to Auntie Wang, "Amitabha. Thank you, Madam Benefactor."
Bai Zhun saw the child's expression and was afraid that she would not be able to digest well, so he pulled her over and rubbed her little belly twice.
Little Baldy did not understand why Bai Zhun would act like this. After being stunned for a moment, she stuck her hand out to imitate Bai Zhun by trying to rub Bai Zhun's tummy too.
"Stop fooling around." Bai Zhun blocked the child's hand. "Are you full?"
Little Baldy thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth. "Actually, I can still eat five more vegetable buns, but Auntie Wang is too tired from cooking, so I'll save my stomach for dinner."
Bai Zhun didn't know what to say.
It seemed like he should find Auntie Wang a helper.
Little Baldy blinked her big eyes twice. She felt that something was not right. Why did no one ring the bell even after she had finished eating?
When should she start chanting Buddhist scriptures?
Little Baldy was very conflicted when she thought about this. She had already learnt to read the scriptures during this time in the temple.
Of course, in reality, she was not very interested in chanting the scriptures. The main point was that once she was done with chanting these scriptures, she would be allowed to play wrestling with all the other monks.
If she didn't chant any scriptures, then when would she be able to play wrestling?
Little Baldy was anxious, so she reached out to grab Bai Zhun's sleeve.
Bai Zhun was drinking tea, and in his hand was a copy of a novel entirely written in English, "The Little Prince". He noticed that she was perspiring profusely, so he asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"
"I need to chant the scriptures. Buddha will blame me if I don't recite the scriptures," Little Baldy explained incoherently. "But nobody has rung the bell yet."
"You can start chanting scriptures from now on. I will tell you when it's time to stop"
