Chapter 88 Bodhisattva Heart
Yan Shuqin's eyes widened in shock.
"Brother, this bird egg is so big!"
Yan Canglan chuckled, picked up the bird egg in his hand, and teased his sister: "Shuqin, is this the first time you have seen such a big bird egg? You look so surprised, be careful not to open your eyes too wide, or you won't be able to close them when you sleep at night."
Lu Yundi listened to the siblings' play and smiled. She walked over, patted Yan Shuqin's shoulder, and said softly, "Shuqin, your brother is teasing you. This kind of bird eggs is very common in our Zhongyong Farm, but you are still young after all, so you may be surprised by it."
Yan Shuqin smiled shyly, lowered her head, and whispered softly: "I know, I will pay more attention in the future."
At this moment, Yan Canglan suddenly thought of something and said to Lu Yundi excitedly: "Mother, look at this bird egg, can we use it to make a dish? I think it must be delicious."
A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "You little greedy cat, you only know how to eat. However, this bird egg can indeed be made into a delicacy. However, we have to hatch it first, see what kind of bird it is, and then decide how to cook it."
Yan Canglan nodded in agreement, and they decided to take the eggs back to the farm and keep them properly.
In the morning, Yan Canglan was pleasantly surprised to find that the bird egg had moved. He carefully held the egg in his palm and said to Yan Shuqin, "Shuqin, come and see, the little bird is about to come out."
Yan Shuqin ran over in a hurry, staring at the egg with wide eyes. Gradually, the bird's sharp beak emerged from the eggshell, and then it slowly crawled out. It was wet all over, and its eyes were still not open.
Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin looked at the bird with joy in their eyes. They carefully put the bird in a warm box and began to take care of it.
Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin surrounded the bird, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and love. Lu Yundi was busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast, and when she heard the children's cheers, she came out.
Lu Yundi's smile was warm and kind. She gently patted Yan Canglan's shoulder and said, "Lan'er, what are you doing? You look so happy."
Yan Canglan raised his head, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: "Mom, we rescued a little bird, it just hatched."
Yan Shuqin excitedly pulled her mother's hand and said, "Mom, let's give it a name."
Lu Yundi smiled and said, "Then let's call it 'Morning Light', because it was born in the morning light and symbolizes the hope of our farm."
"Shuqin, have you fed Chenxi today?" Lu Yundi asked while tidying up the dishes in the kitchen.
Yan Shuqin nodded, her face filled with satisfaction: "I fed it, it's eating happily now. Mother, I found that its little wings have grown a little."
Lu Yundi smiled, his eyes full of relief: "This shows that Chenxi is healthy and you are taking good care of him."
……
"Stop saying that. I can't bear the responsibility." Lu Yundi waved his hand modestly.
"Mrs. Lu, you are too modest. In the entire Luoxia Village, everyone knows that you are our pillar." Liang Jin, the head of Luoxia Village, said with respect.
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a firm look in his eyes: "Liang Jin, we are all family, and we should help each other. By the way, how is the situation in the village recently?"
Liang Jin sighed and frowned, "Alas, Madam, as you know, this year's harvest is not good, and coupled with the drought, the villagers' lives have become increasingly difficult. I was just about to ask you how to overcome this difficulty."
In the living room, there was a table full of delicious dishes, which Lu Yundi prepared for Liang Jin. While she was arranging the dishes, she said, "Liang Jin, we can organize the villagers to reclaim wasteland and increase arable land. This way, we can alleviate the drought and increase the harvest."
Liang Jin's eyes flashed with doubt: "Madam, this method is good, but reclaiming wasteland requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Our village is already short of manpower, where can we get extra labor?"
Lu Yundi smiled lightly, his eyes firm: "Liang Jin, you don't have to worry about this. The men in Zhongyong Farm are all strong and healthy. I can call on them to help. As for material resources, our farm still has some reserves, which can be lent to the villagers first."
Liang Jin heard this, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Madam, you are really kind-hearted. I will go and inform the villagers now."
After that, Liang Jin left in a hurry. Lu Yundi looked at his back, with a trace of worry in his eyes.
This solution is not a long-term solution, but it can at least alleviate the current difficulties.
Liang Jin said anxiously: "Madam, the villagers have begun to reclaim the wasteland, but the project is progressing slowly. We need more tools and seeds."
Lu Yundi smiled and said calmly: "Liang Jin, don't worry, I will prepare as soon as possible. However, we must also improve efficiency and not let the villagers work in vain."
Liang Jin was puzzled: "Madam, what do you think?"
Lu Yundi smiled and said, "We can implement division of labor and cooperation, so that the villagers can perform their respective duties and improve work efficiency. At the same time, I will go to the city in person to apply for some subsidies from the government."
Liang Jin was very excited: "Madam, you are so smart! This way, the villagers will have something to do and increase their income. It's great!"
……
Yan Canglan hatches eggs every day, and spends the rest of his time reading with his teacher Ji Yunlin.
It was a sunny day and a gentle breeze blew across the farm fields, making the rice sway gracefully.
Yan Canglan sat in Master Ji Yunlin's room, with a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery outside the window.
"Master, which article are we going to read today?" Yan Canglan asked, his eyes clear and his face full of thirst for knowledge.
Ji Yunlin smiled and picked up the bamboo slips on the table, gently patting Yan Canglan on the shoulder: "Today we will read an article from the Analects called "Governing"."
Yan Canglan nodded and looked at Ji Yunlin seriously. Ji Yunlin began to read the article. His voice was mellow and his pronunciation was clear, which made Yan Canglan listen in fascination.
"Confucius said: 'Governing with virtue is like the North Star, which stays in its place while all the other stars revolve around it.'" Ji Yunlin paused after reading this sentence and looked at Yan Canglan, "Young Master, do you understand the meaning of this sentence?"
Yan Canglan thought for a moment and replied: "Master, I understand that this sentence means that Confucius believes that governing a country requires using virtue to influence the people, just like the North Star, which is stationary but all the stars revolve around it."
Ji Yunlin nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "Very good, young master, you are very smart. This sentence tells us that we should win the hearts of the people with virtue and make them follow us willingly."
"Master, I think what Confucius said, 'Do not impose on others what you do not want others to impose on you', makes a lot of sense." Yan Canglan said, "We should respect other people's feelings and not do things that we are unwilling to endure."
