Chapter 78 The seventy-seventh gift of quitting pride

In Miao Town, Jie’an has many friends at home. Among them, a benefactor named Tang is the most special. The special thing is not his surname, but his catchphrase, which is "I want to become a monk". Tang Shizhu is the same age as Jie Chen and Jie Ao, we have known each other for almost ten years.At that time, everyone was a child. Donor Tang was very envious of the bald heads of Jie Chen and Jie Ao. He felt that anyway, monks don’t need to perm their scars, and they don’t have to endure pain. It must be cool. This is probably the strangest reason for becoming a monk that Jie Chen has ever heard, and the masters certainly would not agree.

Donor Tang came to the temple frequently, sometimes sitting in the Buddhist hall listening to Master Zhiyuan telling stories, sometimes sitting in our room and chatting.Occasionally, when feeling emotional, Tang Shizhu blurted out that mantra: "I want to become a monk." Two years ago, Donor Tang worked in the government of Miao Town. Immediately after Donor Tang bought a house, Jie Ao joked with him, Donor Tang, Buddhist scriptures stipulate that people who owe money cannot become monks, so in You are not eligible to become a monk until you pay off your mortgage. Benefactor Tang thought that it would take decades to pay off the mortgage, so he nodded helplessly.

Quitting the arrogance reminded him badly, remember not to break the confession, otherwise you will never be able to become a monk. Tang Benefactor looked sad. Until last year, Jie Ao suddenly told Jie Chen that Tang Shizhu really couldn't leave home this time. Jie Chen was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked Jie Ao why. Jieao said, because Tang Shizhu got married. Jie Chen couldn't help laughing. Donor Tang's wife is also a local and has met us a few times.In the short period of time after Tang Shizhu got married, the frequency of coming to the temple was indeed less, and after coming, the mantra of "I want to become a monk" disappeared.

This situation lasted for almost a year, and once Tang Shizhu suddenly popped up the mantra "I want to become a monk" in a chat. We looked at Benefactor Tang suspiciously, thinking that he must have something on his mind, or else he said this out of nowhere. Tang Shizhu may have guessed our doubts, because he also trusts in quitting anger and arrogance, so he talked about a lot of his family affairs. It turned out that Tang Benefactor and his wife had quarreled over some trivial matters. The two had been in a cold war for several months, but they refused to forgive each other. Now the relationship is very tense.

Jie Chen is very sympathetic to Tang Shizhu's experience, but Jie Chen is really not good at this kind of mediation of feelings, so he can only sit stupidly by the side and be a listener. After Tang Shizhu left, Jie Ao and Jie Chen found it difficult to talk about their husband and wife. When Tang Shizhu came again next time, Jie Ao took out a paper package from under the bed and asked Tang Shizhu to take it home, and then told Tang Shizhu to say that it was given to his wife by Tang Shizhu himself. Jie Chen asked Jie Ao in private, what is in this paper bag, Jie Ao said with some embarrassment, that he didn't know if it would be successful, if it was successful, I would tell you.

On the second day, Tang Shizhu ran up the mountain and told us that his wife was very moved when she received the scarf in the paper package of quitting pride. She immediately forgave Tang Shizhu. The two talked for a long time, and now they are reconciled. As ever. Jie Chen asked Jie Ao where the scarf came from, and Jie Ao said that some time ago, he bought some wool with his pocket money and learned how to make a sweater from the Internet. He originally wanted to make a sweater for Jie Yan, but considering the He usually likes to rub around on the ground, and considering that the thick fat layer and long hair of the ring are good for keeping out the cold, he gave up this idea.

This time it was very difficult to see Donor Tang, so Jie Ao knit a scarf for him to give to Donor Tang's wife, but the wool wasn't enough, and in the end, he made up a lot of threads of different colors, fearing that Donor Tang's wife wouldn't like it, so I've always been embarrassed to say, I didn't expect the effect to be pretty good. Jie An looked at Jie Ao with admiration, not because he learned how to knit in a few days, and Jie Ao often did things a hundred times stranger than this.Jie Chen just felt that his junior brother came up with a very ingenious method, if Jie Ao went to work in the neighborhood committee, he would definitely be able to compete with a very good neighborhood committee aunt.

The relationship between people is very delicate, we often complain that we can't get the sincerity and true feelings.In fact, if we want to get sincerity and affection from others, the first thing we need to do is to give our sincerity and affection. This may be the most successful place for Jie Ao to give gifts for Tang Shizhu. The method of quitting arrogance to help Tang benefactor is good, but it also leaves a little bit of regret. A few days later, Donor Tang came to the temple again and asked Jieao, where did you buy the scarf woven with fireworks patterns? to buy it.
