Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xia Chuntao didn't want to go anywhere, so she took a nap at home, ate melon seeds and read a storybook.

"Mom, I don't want to do anything today. You can cook whatever you want and cook it for me too." Xia Chuntao said to the children.

Seriously, cooking every day is really annoying!

Anyway, there is everything in the kitchen, so let the children do what they want.

Anzi looked a little worried when she saw Xia Chuntao's languid look, "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine, I just don't want to move." Xia Chuntao replied lazily.

Anzi felt relieved and said, "Mom, please have a good rest, and Alai and I will cook."

Alai nodded, "Mom, please rest. We'll call you when the meal is ready."

Children from farm families have long been in charge. Not to mention Anzi and Alai, Niuniu and Xiaobao can also sweep the floor, wipe the table, and set the dishes.

Xia Chuntao had nothing to worry about, so she felt free to be lazy. Half leaning on the bed, legs crossed, reading a storybook and eating plums, next to a pot of tea made by Anzi, it's so beautiful!

Well, it would be perfect if there was another singer.

After lunch, Xia Chuntao gathered several children together and handed each of them a piece of paper. "This is a wish list. Everyone writes down what they want to accomplish this year. Let's take a look at this time next year. What wishes were fulfilled.”

Children are so curious.

Alai: "Huh? Aren't wishes blessed by Bodhisattva? The aunts in the village often go to the temple to burn incense and worship Bodhisattva."

Xia Chuntao:......

I feel that educating my son has a long way to go!

"Be it Bodhisattva or Buddha, we have never seen anyone. They are too far away from our lives. They may have their own lives to live. I think... it is better to count on them than on ourselves?"

Alai was confused, "Then why do the aunts in the village say that Bodhisattva can save people from suffering? They also say that Bodhisattva is so powerful that as long as you are sincere, Bodhisattva will fulfill your wishes!"

Niuniu nodded wildly on the side, "Yes, yes, sister Xiaofang said that she is beautiful because her mother made a wish to the Bodhisattva before giving birth to her, and the Bodhisattva made her beautiful."

"Mom, can I be like Sister Xiaofang in the future, growing more and more beautiful? Otherwise, let's go and say goodbye too!"

Xia Chuntao tugged at her daughter's little crotch and said, "She's so pretty! With your mother's looks, can you be any different?"

Shan Xiaofang is four or five years older than Niu Niu. Her parents and brothers are not very good-looking, but she has become more and more beautiful. Her mother is very proud of her. Whenever she meets people, she always says, worship Bodhisattva more often. If you are sincere, your wishes will come true. Bodhisattva will make all your wishes come true.

Xiaofang's mother is a loyal believer of Bodhisattva, and she is also very devoted to her voluntary work as a "missionary".

There is also Xia Chuntao's own mother who runs to the temple every now and then to beg the Bodhisattva to let her give birth to a boy. Most of the money at home was used by her to add sesame oil.

When Xia Chuntao went to her parents' home for the first time, didn't her mother Zhang tell her that she was denying her parents' orders and asked her to go back less often, and also asked her to use more money to worship the Bodhisattva to alleviate her sins.

There should be quite a lot of believers like Xiao Fang Niang and her mother Zhang in Dai Viet.

When a person encounters a difficult hurdle or difficult knot in reality, he often escapes unconsciously. At this time, Bodhisattva and Buddha become their last safe haven.

In fact, it is understandable. In this life, who can know in advance what difficulties they will encounter?

Just like me, who would have thought that I could travel to such an unknown space while sleeping? All people, things, and things have become beyond recognition.

It can only be said that everyone reacts differently when encountering hardship. Some people choose to escape, while others choose to face it.

We can’t say who is right or wrong, everyone’s level of cognition is just different.

Moreover, in such an era, it is obviously unrealistic for you to expect everyone to solve all problems on their own. Therefore, trusting Bodhisattvas and Buddhas with matters that you cannot solve is probably the only way to make yourself feel at peace, right?

Of course, Xia Chuntao still hopes that her children will have a positive outlook on life.

"Alai, do you think we have such a comfortable life now because we worship the Bodhisattva?"

Alai thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, Mom has never worshiped the Bodhisattva."

“So, how did the life we ​​live now come about?”

Xiaobao answered quickly, "My mother earned it."

Ouch, this hurts.

"It's not just my mother who earned it, it's the joint efforts of all of us."

Xia Chuntao looked at the children.

"Anzi, Chow Tai Fook often abuses you, but you don't complain, and you even choose to stay away because you are afraid that Chow Tai Fook will harass me.

Your pure kindness is the most precious wealth in the world, so I saved you and adopted you.

You can change your destiny precisely because of your persistence. You stick to your heart and are not defeated by suffering. I believe that even without my help, you will be able to shine your own light one day. "

Anzi burst into tears when she heard this. She didn't expect that she looked so good in her mother's heart.

"Alai, mother just... you remember when you woke up, right?"

Alai's eyes were red, "Mom can't even get out of bed, I'm afraid... uncle and aunt are all bad..."

“Then do you remember how we kicked them out of the house?

Without Alai's cooperation, how could there be so many people watching?

Who would believe that your uncle and aunt could bully us like that? We were able to get out of the predicament at that time precisely because of the results we faced bravely. What we have to thank is ourselves. "

"Also, although Mr. Yan was invited by my mother's friends, it is precisely because of your own efforts that Mr. Yan agreed to be your teacher. This cannot be achieved by worshiping some god."

Xiaobao listened quietly on the side, and then said: "It depends on human effort."

Xia Chuntao thought about it for a moment. He is indeed a little prodigy. He can understand such profound connotations at such a young age. How awesome!

"Yes, just like what we have experienced, many times when we encounter problems, we have to be brave enough to face them and solve them instead of throwing them to the Bodhisattva. I guess the Bodhisattva is also very busy. How can he have so much time for everyone? All problems solved?"

Several children nodded and everyone made a wish list together.

Niu Niu pouted and looked angrily at her brothers writing seriously, then jumped to Xia Chuntao and said, "Mom, please help me write, I can't write."

"What do you want to write?"

"Well... I want to be beautiful, I want to grow taller, I also want to play with a slingshot, I also want to go to Rongcheng with my mother, I also want to eat delicious food in my mother's shop every day, and I also want to have someone to accompany me every day Just for fun, I also want to raise a puppy..."

Xia Chuntao felt dizzy after hearing this. Are you sure this girl was not sent by God to punish her?
