【181】Art Master Zhou Weiguo(1/2)
The next day.
Zhou Ruonan came to Xiaohua's office with a sad face.
And accompanying her was an elderly man.
When Xiaohua saw it, she immediately stood up and said, "Praise my Lord! Great Elder, why are you here?"
She wanted to step forward to help her, but the great elder waved her hand to stop her, "My mind is confused now, and I am not as good as before."
"But this body is quite strong!"
"Praise my Lord."
"My Lord gave Wangshan his lawful medical skills. Wangshan indeed has his talent. Now he often teaches us elders how to maintain good health. We should eat more vegetables, supplement appropriate amounts of meat, and improve our immunity!"
"You should drink milk powder often."
Seeing the elder's rosy complexion, Xiaohua didn't insist, "Sit down quickly. Is it because I'm strict with Ruonan that you're here today?"
Seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant, the great elder smiled and said, "You, you, have been extraordinary since you were a child. No wonder everyone has said that you are the child chosen by our Lord!"
"Now that I have become a big man, I have indeed taken on a heavy responsibility. I am 70% the same as before when I had Wu!"
"That's right, I came here today because of this unfilial grandson! But it is definitely not to protect him, but to ask the 'chief' to treat him more severely, and not to be lenient at all!"
Xiaohua glanced at Zhou Ruonan.
I saw that the little girl who was just aggrieved when she walked in the door, now burst into tears after hearing her grandfather's "inhumane" remarks.
It is evident that the great elder dotes on her.
In order to give her a name and become my bishop, I would not hesitate to sacrifice my grace and blessing.
But unfortunately, now he no longer seems to be doted on, as if he has become a different person.
Xiaohua found it interesting and knew that the elder's move was the true love and care for his granddaughter.
But she was also curious about what the great elder thought of her teaching measures——
"Aren't you worried, Great Elder? If you are too strict, you will be easily broken if you are too strong?"
The great elder said: "That's why I came here to add some mixture to her piece of steel to prevent it from being too brittle and causing it to break."
Xiaohua was shocked when she heard this: "The Great Elder still knows the art of steel creation?"
The Great Elder waved his hand again: "No, no, no, I just yearn for the law. I heard the monks explain the key points of the steelmaking laws, but if I really want to operate it, it won't work."
At this point, he looked at his granddaughter, "Do you think grandpa is too strict?"
Zhou Ruonan actually nodded, "Yes!"
Xiaohua will get angry as soon as she says "hey".
The great elder interrupted with a smile, "Is it because I no longer love you?"
"Yes!" Zhou Ruonan said again, and looked at Xiaohua calmly, "But Ruonan has no complaints about the harsh behavior of the chief. The chief is my teacher, but grandpa is not, so why did he reprimand me last night?"
"It's not like I want my parents to beg for mercy!"
When Xiaohua heard this, she stopped interrupting, knowing that it was a drama between the grandfather and grandson.
Steelmaking is too pure, has high hardness but insufficient toughness, and easily breaks.
The great elder's attempt to mix things up was probably to help his granddaughter gain some family ties and clarify the truth behind them.
It's quite a painstaking effort.
The Great Elder said: "If I don't express my stance, idiots like your parents will only get worse. If I don't express my stance, will you be able to agree in your heart that you are being treated harshly by the Chief?"
"I already agree with the chief!"
"You dare to swear an oath to my lord and never have any complaints?"
"grandfather!!"
Faced with the great elder's face-to-face remarks, Zhou Ruonan chose to blow himself up.
People who believe in Jesus in the Old World often swear by God, but how many people actually abide by it?
However, in this balance, our Lord gazes and sees everything in the world.
Who dares to joke about the Holy Name of Balance?
Or try it?
Try it and you'll die.
At this point, the Great Elder got straight to the point, "I come with you to pay homage to the Chief today, both to thank her and to let you understand the reason for her harsh actions!"
Xiao Hua said: "I don't dare!"
The elder smiled and said it was okay, and continued to say to his granddaughter: "Do you know why the chief ordered you to visit each city and write reports and write down your thoughts?"
Zhou Ruonan wiped away his tears and said: "Firstly, it is for favor. Not everyone can know the reports from each city! This is the chief's trust in me!"
"Secondly, yesterday I was reprimanded by the chief, and I know the great justice, ambition and belief in the hearts of the law monks who are traveling outside."
"You can gain a rough understanding of the method of making concrete objects. You can learn from the reports in each city and broaden your horizons!"
Zhou Ruonan held out his chest and raised his head, not showing any signs of intimidation in front of his grandfather, and spoke with full confidence.
I thought I would be amazed and praised.
Unexpectedly, the great elder sneered and shouted: "Idiot!!"
Zhou Ruonan was stunned and couldn't help but shed tears. When she looked at Xiaohua, she found that the chief had the same expression as her grandfather, except for the words "idiot" superimposed on her.
"I, what did I say wrong?"
The great elder said: "If you don't understand, just ask the chief!"
Xiaohua shook her head: "Yesterday I just said a few words, but you couldn't understand it. Today, you are complacent when you come here, which is disappointing!"
The First Elder didn't mention it to Xiao Hua, so he could only speak for himself, "The chief asked you to observe the reports of each city and write down your thoughts...the key point is a 'thinking'!"
"Learn knowledge and broaden your horizons? The laws of the Temple Mount are densely packed, but it's not enough for you to learn?"
"My Lord has something to say, learn it and apply it. How to use it requires you to think about it!"
"Yesterday you told me about the chief's instructions, saying that the chief was happy because of the No. 11 Ayutthaya report."
"Do you think it's as simple as just monks having the ambition to prosper the Kingdom of God? It's because they can think, draw inferences from one example and prepare for a rainy day!"
"There is no need for my lord, the shaman and the chief to worry about you!"
"Did you know that one year ago, the Modoc people like us had not yet migrated. The witches were still young at that time, but they had to shoulder important responsibilities."
"When faced with a difficult problem, the shaman came to ask me and the elders. At first, I just thought that the shaman was young and inexperienced in worldly affairs."
"But when we solved the problem, we discovered that the strategies we proposed were not used by the shaman. The shaman put our suggestions together, checked for deficiencies, eliminated disadvantages, drew on the good, and finally formed his own judgment."
"Later I boldly inquired and got the witch's explanation..."
"This is the will of our Lord to her. Think about it in advance, think about the possibility and the impossibility, and then make the impossible possible!"
"Things in the world are not static. Just as you said yesterday, the No. 11 Dacheng Dharma monk came to report that a road should be built northward to the Salt Lake. This matter seemed impossible to you, but it was not until the chief made it clear that he ordered you to
Awakening to the future layout of the Kingdom of God.”
"But you failed to grasp the key point. The Chief is not asking you to watch what others do, but he wants you to watch the situation of others and think about what to do yourself!"
The great elder said it all in one breath.
Not only was Zhou Ruonan stunned, Xiaohua was also dumbfounded.
Xiaohua's training is actually just imitating my master and the shaman.
Serving beside my master, the shaman, and listening to the teachings, more often than not, she would get a question, and then she, Niu Shi, and Zhou Weiguo would think and discuss the answer.
The three of them brainstormed, checked for gaps and filled in the gaps, and finally arrived at the true knowledge. Perhaps there were errors and omissions before they learned the teachings of my Lord and the shaman.
But now, after hearing the Great Elder's explanation, Xiaohua truly understood the deep meaning between my Lord and the witch.
The great elder slapped Zhou Ruonan's back heavily, waking her up, "Do you understand?"
When Zhou Ruonan raised his eyes, his resentful eyes had turned into full of admiration and shame, "I understand, grandpa, Ruonan is stupid, don't be angry!"
Xiao Hua woke up, calmed down her shock, poured boiled water and handed it over, and sincerely praised, "The Great Elder is a wise man, beyond my reach!"
The great elder laughed loudly: "I have been blessed by God's grace and have a long life. I have been serving and believing in Balance for a longer time than you. Naturally, I know a lot more. But these are all empty truths, just for bluffing children!"
He drank the water and stood up straight away, "I won't bother you. Ruonan, listen to the chief's teachings and don't slack off or complain at all!"
"The chief is devoted to you and holds nothing back. This is a favor!"
After finishing speaking, he put down the water glass and said, "Praise my Lord, praise balance!"
Leave a word of praise and step out the door.
The remaining ones, one big and one small, were stunned for a moment, and then they all shouted in praise, "My lord is above!"
"If everyone in the Kingdom of God is a great elder, why worry about not being prosperous?"
"Someone is coming!"
Xiaohua made a quick decision, called the guards, and ordered the scribe to come and immediately describe and record what had just happened.
"...Think beforehand when encountering a situation, and think about what is possible and what is impossible!"
"Don't look at what others do, but look at other people's situations and think of ways to adapt."
"Well, let me add another sentence: learn from the strengths of others and make up for your own shortcomings. The good deeds of others can be the foundation of my thinking."
"After sorting it out, send it to the No. 2 city and publish it as a front-page headline, so that all people in the Kingdom of God will know the balanced teachings of the holy will and the wisdom of the great elders!"
Zhou Ruonan weakly interjected, "Chief, can you present it to my Lord and the shaman at that time, pray for the will, and record it in the "Balance Holy Scripture"?"
Xiaohua smiled, "You are quite clever! If it is included in the "Balance Bible", your name, Zhou Ruonan, will be famous forever!"
