Chu Ziluo’s eyes widened. “You really don’t eat meat? Brother, didn’t you say that many of the children in the temple are not monks yet? Can’t they eat meat?”
Lin Zhongjin actually did not like to talk, but he was in someone else’s house after all, so he needed to be polite.
He said softly, “The temple is an important place. Meat and fish are not allowed. As the saying goes, Buddha is based on compassion. If you eat meat, you have no compassion.”
“Since we have received the blessing of Buddha, we should naturally respect Buddhism.”
Chu Ziluo clapped her hands. “Brother, you’re right. Since you were raised in a temple, you should respect Buddha.”
Lin Zhongjin looked at Chu Ziluo in surprise.
This girl from the countryside was actually so clear-minded. She was particular about receiving favors from others. She knew how to repay favors and was kind. She was a person who could be befriended.
“You’re right.” Lin Zhongjin nodded.
Chu Jin took a deep breath. “It’s scary that you can’t eat meat all the time. Fortunately, I’m not a monk. However, I can donate more money so that you can eat eggs in the future.”
Ye Muyu listened to the three children and was satisfied. It was necessary to have principles.
She also felt a great sense of accomplishment when she raised her child well.
“Hurry up and drink your tea. It’s already cold. Try it and tell me if it tastes good.” Ye Muyu gently stirred the tea and finished it in a short while.
“I’m going to the kitchen to cook. You kids can play by yourselves,” she said as she got up.
“Ziluo, Lil’ Jin, take care of Zhongjin.”
Ye Muyu left.
Chu Ziluo quickly drank her honey grapefruit tea. A sweet and sour tea like this was her favorite.
Lin Zhongjin looked at the fruit tea in the teacup and felt a little curious. He had never seen this tea before.
He scooped a little with a spoon and took a sip. The sweet and sour taste made a light flash in his eyes.
Then, he slowly drank it in a very standard manner.
Chu Jin was the most carefree. He tasted it and felt that it was delicious, so he finished it in two or three mouthfuls.
“Mother’s tea is too delicious,” he said contentedly as he patted his stomach.
“You can only drink one cup a day even if it tastes good,” Chu Ziluo said worriedly.
Although Chu Jin still wanted to drink, he did not dare to disobey. He could only frown and nod his head.” Just one cup. I won’t drink it secretly.”
“Brother, you’re great. Father and Mother taught us to be honest. Only when you’re obedient can you eat and drink.” Chu Ziluo comforted him with a smile.
Although Chu Jin was gluttonous, he knew the importance of his parents’ request. If he did not listen to them, he would probably only be allowed to watch his sister drink it the next time, let alone once a day.
Thinking of this, he instantly shivered. He had no intention of secretly drinking it.
“Sis, I’m going to the study room to draw, ” Chu Jin said.
Chu Ziluo had also finished her last mouthful. She nodded. “Then I’ll go with Brother Zhongjin too.”
The three children entered the study and went to read their own books.
In fact, Lin Zhongjin had already guessed the situation of Chu Ziluo’s house through the villagers who greeted her at the school gate. Now that he saw so many books in the study, he was sure that this was indeed the house of a scholar. No wonder his uncle had entrusted him to this house.
This family was probably the only family in the village who would not mind if his uncle left or not. Naturally, they would treat him normally.
Ye Muyu entered the kitchen.
“Madam, I only have a bit of pumpkin left.” Madam Hu saw her come in and said..
