The female supporting role is dedicated to cultivating immortality

Chapter 181 The big baby in the family
The voices in the corridor could not be heard in the ward. Pei Asi enjoyed the greetings from his parents and felt only happy, without hesitation or uneasiness.

"Ah Si," her father Pei Dazhuang lowered his voice carefully, "can you still cultivate as an immortal?"

"Of course!" Pei Asi hugged the furry lynx and raised a finger, flames dancing on the fingertips. "Look, I can cast spells."

"You are still lying on the bed. The fire is almost out! It will be bad if it burns the quilt!" Her mother, Li Hua, said hurriedly, "The quilt you covered is so thick and there is not even a patch. How much money will you have to pay if it burns!"

Pei Asi put out the fire and chuckled: "I can control the spell and won't burn things."

"Then you can't play with fire!" Li Hua scolded, leaning into her daughter's ear, "Does the ancestral home treat your injuries without paying for it? Ah Si, the family has no money, and I can't even afford twenty spiritual coins! This matter You know it."

"I don't know!" Pei Asi said in surprise, "I've forgotten what happened in the past few months, I don't remember anything! Mom, dad, do we really have no money at home? I'm not -"

"Your second brother wants to become an immortal." Pei Dazhuang interrupted her.

Looking at his daughter who seemed to have never been injured, he said happily:
"In order to buy him that little marrow-cleansing soup so that he can introduce Qi into his body as quickly as possible, all the money we finally saved was spent.

"Fortunately, the patriarch is wise and kind. He asked about our family's situation and agreed to let your second brother come to the ancestral home to cultivate immortality.

"He also promoted me to be the steward of the farm. I have never seen such a good person!
"I don't think he will charge you money to treat your injuries, that girl..."

"Hey!"

Li Hua slapped her thigh suddenly: "You have to go home! We have to quickly let your second brother come to the ancestral home to cultivate immortality!"

"Why are you so anxious? Our ancestral home is here, we can't run away!"

Pei Dazhuang stared at his wife, turned around and asked Pei Asi:

"Who is the tall girl in yellow clothes?

"She has a bad temper. When we knocked on the door just now, she opened the door and when she saw us, she slammed the door!

"She gave you a pill and you got better.

"What kind of elixir is that? Is it expensive?"

"She is Sister Yuxia. I have told you many times that she has a good relationship with me. She is not bad-tempered, but she looks a bit fierce and has little patience."

Pei Asi said: "I will pay back the rejuvenation pills she gave me later, and I don't need your help. My aunt treated the injury, and she won't charge for it. Don't worry, the people in the ancestral house are very nice. Especially Xixi. , she has become a little ancestor, and I have more monthly routines."

“Of course it’s good, little ancestor.

"Her father is better! Her father is our clan leader and is in charge of all of us!"

Pei Dazhuang reminded his silly daughter:
"The patriarch is a noble man and is very busy. Don't disturb him and just have a good relationship with his daughter.

“When you see others, you have to smile and say hello, but you can’t offend people or cause trouble.

"When others bully you, remember that 'a loss is a blessing'. No matter what happens, you have to be patient and it will be over. Don't be afraid.

"Your parents are both mortals and cannot protect you and your second brother.

"Your second brother is still young, you have to take care of him when he comes to the ancestral home, and you can't let anyone bully him.

"He is slow in cultivating immortality, you have to teach him and play with him...

“And you, don’t let anything happen to you!

"We cannot live without you in our family, but you don't know that your mother and I were so scared when we saw you injured..."

Pei Asi nodded obediently: "Dad, I will pay attention. I have remembered everything."

After a moment of silence, Pei Dazhuang said, "The patriarch is outside. I'll go talk to him."

Li Hua stood up: "I'll go too."

"You talk to Ah Si." Pei Dazhuang pushed her to sit down, looked at the lynx licking its paws, and said sincerely, "Ah Si, don't raise a cat. It costs money to raise a cat. Just hold it and play with it. Don't Raise, we are poor!”

He walked out of the ward, awkwardly saluted Pei Xiangrong, and raised a flattering smile: "Hello, patriarch! Thank you very much, patriarch, for curing Ah Si!" He then saluted Pei Ruxi and Pei Yuxia, "Hello, ladies!"

……

The unused ward was arranged into a simple living room, with tea and snacks on the table, soft lighting, and talismans attached to the wall that continuously released heat to dispel the chill of the rainy day.

Sitting on the stool solemnly, Pei Dazhuang felt uneasy and tormented.

The patriarch and the two girls were relaxing at the table. The patriarch - he was really young and as handsome as a girl. He introduced the two girls with a smile:
“This is the little ancestor of our family, my precious daughter.

"This is my fifth brother's child. He is one year older than Ah Si. He is the third in line and is a bit willful."

Pei Dazhuang wanted to get up, but Pei Xiangrong stopped him. He had to continue sitting, as humble as a slave: "Hello, little ancestor! Hello, Miss Third!"

"Please drink tea." Pei Xiangrong picked up the teapot and poured tea. "You are Ah Si's father. You treat them as juniors and there is no need to be respectful."

As he spoke, he teased the two girls: "My little ancestor, my third lady, do you mind?"

"Hmph, that's a long line!" Pei Yuxia rolled her eyes.

Looking at Pei Dazhuang's wrinkled skin as rough as bark, she was so ugly that she looked away. Soon her eyes returned to him and asked straight to the point: "How poor is your family?"

"When did you get up in the morning?" Pei Ruxi pushed the snack plate in front of Pei Dazhuang, "What will you do and what will you eat after you get up?"

The patriarch's daughter is sensible, looks elegant and generous, and is completely different from the unruly and aggressive third lady.Pei Dazhuang muttered secretly in his heart, with a look of sincere fear on his face:
“You have to get up at dawn, you can’t sleep because you’re too lazy.

"I have to carry water in the morning. There is no well at home. The well is at the entrance of the village and far away. I have to go back and forth four or five times to fill the water tank at home.

"Sometimes we don't eat in the morning, so we go to the vegetable field early in the morning to water the vegetable field, pull out the grass that grows randomly in the vegetable field, loosen the soil in the vegetable field, and kill the insects crawling on the vegetable leaves.

"Every vegetable you plant attracts insects, but weeds don't..."

Pei Ruxi listened carefully.Pei Yuxia said: "Have you never used any insect repellent or insecticide?"

"It's expensive, it costs money, and I can't afford it." Pei Dazhuang said, "I'm not afraid of insects growing on the grass. I'm afraid of insects growing on the crops in the fields. If we don't use medicine, there will be no harvest. If there is no harvest, we won't be able to pay the grain tax, and the whole family will be hungry." die……"

A paper crane squeezed in through the gap in the window. Pei Xiangrong caught it and saw words written on it: "The little ancestor gained a lot in the secret realm, and gave it all to Aunt Ying. The fifth and sixth masters asked her to hand it over..." "

After burning the paper crane to ashes, Pei Xiangrong said, "I'm sorry, I have something to do and I can't stay with you anymore. Let's have dinner together tonight."

He left before Pei Dazhuang could react.

Pei Dazhuang stood in the room. He only had time to say "tribe" after the word "tribe leader", which was very embarrassing.

In the corridor, Li Hua just came back from the toilet and met Pei Xiangrong, but she didn't have time to say hello.She stayed where she was and looked at his hurried back for a while, her eyes bright and her face red and hot.

Returning to the ward with brisk steps, she couldn't help but confide to Pei Asi: "The patriarch is as beautiful as a god! If I were ten years younger..." Touching her uneven face, she sighed, "Oh, I You have to give birth to a good baby, otherwise even thinking about it--oh, my shoulder hurts again!"

"Mom, come closer, I'll knead it for you." Pei Asi had just finished eating, put down the bowl and chopsticks, put his hands on her shoulders, and kneaded her skillfully, "You went to fetch water again in the morning? They said your shoulders hurt, you can't When carrying water, firewood, and heavy objects, you always don’t pay attention.”

"He always sleeps in, and I can't even poke him. I don't have water to drink at home, and the vegetables in the field will wither." Li Hua complained, "You have been practicing immortality for almost ten years, and your spells dazzle me. You can give me Drill a well at home?"

"I don't know, I've never dug a well." Pei Asi yawned, "I'm so sleepy..."

"Take a nap if you feel sleepy. Mom is here to watch over you." Li Hua let her sleep and touched the quilt lovingly, "It's so warm. It would be nice if I could take it home. The quilt at home isn't very warm... …”

Listening to his mother's words, Pei Asi suddenly felt cold.

She shivered involuntarily and huddled under the quilt, next to the lynx curled up in a ball, and fell asleep amidst Li Hua's chatter.

……

Today is the day to go home.

The cicadas are chirping noisily, and the sun is blazing in the sky.

Pei Asi walked into the house with two kilograms of meat. Li Huakai happily took it and said angrily: "The weather is so hot. You don't know how to hold an umbrella when you get home. What will you do if you get tanned?"

She shouted into the house: "Zilong! Your second sister is going home today, why don't you quickly pour her a bowl of water to quench her thirst!"

"Just come back. If she wants to drink water, she doesn't have any hands to pour it out?" Pei Zilong didn't show up at all.

He is Pei Asi's second brother and is seven years old this year.

Li Hua took off the meat and beat him with a stick: "You bastard! I asked you to talk back! Ah Si finally came home once and asked you to pour her a bowl of water. What happened? She is cultivating in her ancestral home! Wash her. Your feet are a blessing!”

"Mom, stop hitting him." Pei Asi quickly grabbed Li Hua, "I'm not a guest at home, so why do I need my second brother to serve me? You are my mother, and it's okay for us two siblings to serve you together. "

"Fake!" Pei Zilong didn't appreciate it and shouted, "I also have spiritual roots! I can also go to the ancestral home to cultivate immortality! As long as I use the Xiaomarrow Cleansing Decoction, I will immediately introduce Qi into my body and scare you to death!"

Smartly running away, he turned around and said: "Pei Asi, you just don't want me to cultivate immortality, that's why you refuse to buy me Xiaoxi Marrow Soup! Humph, you dare to say that you know the little ancestor! You know the patriarch's daughter! Xiaoxi You can’t even buy marrow soup, you’re a waste! You’re bad, I don’t want a sister like you!”

Before Li Hua could get angry, he escaped without a trace.

After grabbing the stick and chasing him far away, Li Hua returned home cursing, saw the gloomy Pei Asi, and quickly coaxed her:

"Ah Si, don't be angry, when your father comes back, I will let him beat your second brother!

“I’ll beat you until you calm down!

"That brat is full of shit, take his words into your heart.

"He's not bad, he just wants to cultivate immortality so much that he can't do it. He learned it after hearing the instigation from the villagers..."

Pei Asi pursed his lips: "I also want my second brother to cultivate immortality, but... he has poor qualifications, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Hugging her, Li Hua said softly: "It's okay, don't blame yourself, it's enough for our family to have a monk like you. The ancestral home thinks that your second brother has poor qualifications and refuses to keep him. How can you, a child, help?" ?Don’t miss your second brother, you are the great treasure of our family. As long as you cultivate seriously, we can live a good life."

At noon, Pei Dazhuang came back from work.

After hearing the complaint, he immediately went out with a knife to catch Pei Zilong, hung him up and beat him, making him kneel down and kowtow to Pei Asi to admit his mistake and promise not to do it again in the future.

Pei Asi didn't agree to do this, but she couldn't persuade Pei Dazhuang, so she could only secretly cast spells to protect Pei Zilong.

After being beaten until he burst into tears, Pei Zilong finally bowed his head and admitted his mistake honestly.

Li Hua cut the meat and made it into dishes. No one was allowed to use their chopsticks. Only Pei Asi was allowed to eat. She said lovingly: "Eat more. You are the most capable person in the family. You must eat and drink well."

Pei Asi felt uneasy about eating alone and shared the thinly sliced ​​meat on the plate with his parents and two younger brothers: "I eat delicious food three times a day at my ancestral home. You don't like to buy meat, so you should eat more." point."

After all, her family did not refuse her sharing.

There was only one day off for the holiday. In the middle of the afternoon, Pei Asi was about to leave, and Pei Dazhuang stopped her.

The father and daughter talked behind closed doors, and Pei Dazhuang asked: "How much does a small marrow-cleansing soup cost? Your second brother has spiritual roots and it's a pity that he doesn't cultivate immortality and monsters. If it's cheaper, I'll buy one for him. Forget it if it's expensive." Anyway, we have you in our family, so that kid doesn’t need to become an immortal.”

Pei Asi told the price: "I actually want to buy it for him, but I don't have enough money to buy it."

Pei Dazhuang sighed, dug out the jar buried under the bed, and poured out a pile of spirit coins: "This is the money my family has saved one after another. I haven't counted how much it is. You can take it. Don't buy the Xiaomarrow Cleansing Soup. You It depends on what you need, just buy it."

With the money in hand, Pei Asi returned to his ancestral home with worries.

After thinking for two days, she decided to buy a small marrow cleaning soup for her brother.

With her ability, she can still buy it if she works hard.Her parents loved her so much, and she didn't want them to be sad because her brother had spiritual roots but couldn't become an immortal.

So she scrimped on food and clothing, sold everything she could, and did everything she could to make money. Finally, she went home with a small marrow-cleansing soup.
