The school was no longer in class, and Chen Hansheng had to go and tell his uncle Chen Huaqiang about the situation. Chen Huaqiang immediately came to the school, cleaned up all the luggage brought by Chen Hansheng, and then took Chen Hansheng back to his hometown Chenjiahe.

After Chen Hansheng returned home, he was the first to run to his grandmother Xie Chunxiang and told him that the school was closed, the students no longer went to school, and the teachers no longer taught. Xie Chunxiang comforted Chen Hansheng with her feelings and said, "This slapstick will not last long, sooner or later, the school will still have classes, you will play at home first, and when the school will open again, you will continue to go to school!"

"Will there still be classes at school?" asked Chen Hansheng to his grandmother.

"Of course there will be classes!" Xie Chunxiang said, "Since ancient times, schools have been in class, teachers are teaching, teachers are teaching, teachers are not teaching, schools are not in class, so what do you need schools to do? What do you need teachers to do?"

Grandmother's words made Chen Hansheng see a new glimmer of hope, and thinking that there would be a chance to go to school in the future, Chen Hansheng immediately became happy.

What to do during this time, the family had a disagreement, Chen Huaguo wanted Chen Hansheng to go to the ground, Xu Chungu asked Chen Hansheng to go to herd cattle, Xie Chunxiang insisted that Chen Hansheng be idle at home temporarily, do homework and read, and let Chen Caomin teach him. Chen Caomin said that he was already in junior high school and could not teach him.

Xie Chunxiang said, "Then let him do some housework with me at home first, and then go to school when school opens." ”

Although Xie Chunxiang is a woman, in this family, she is a man who counts, even Chen Caomin rarely asks about family affairs. Therefore, Xie Chunxiang's opinion is a decisive opinion, and no one dares to raise any more objections.

Almost half a year has passed, and the school still hasn't opened.

In half a year, Chen Hansheng has not only grown taller, but even his voice has changed, and he is no longer a child's voice. The countrymen call this situation the boundary between children and adults, that is, Chen Hansheng is no longer the child who can be spoiled, but is already an adult.

At that time, although Chen Hansheng broke the child's voice, he was still a twelve or thirteen-year-old child after all. Some aunts who like to joke said to their grandmother Xie Chunxiang in front of Chen Hansheng, "This guy ran out for more than six months, and he broke his child's voice at the age of twelve or thirteen, and he was clearly an acute child.

When Chen Hansheng heard this, he blushed, he wanted to scold the aunt, but he was afraid that his grandmother would say that he was neither big nor small, so he had to endure it.

My grandmother smiled and said, "If I could tell him a daughter-in-law, I would die of joy!

Grandmother's words made the sentimental Chen Hansheng feel lost, and thought about how good it would be if people lived a long life.

For several days, there was some bad news every day, or someone died in the fight, or someone committed suicide at the criticism meeting, or someone fought with whom, and the tense and frightened atmosphere had to make Xie Chunxiang change his consideration of Chen Hansheng.

Xie Chunxiang discussed with Chen Caomin: "It seems that there is no hope for this Han Sheng's schooling." It is said that college students are no longer studying, let alone primary and secondary schools?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Caomin knew that Xie Chunxiang was talking nonsense, so he simply asked.

Xie Chunxiang said, "I want him to learn tailoring from you, how about it?"

"Learn from me?" Chen Caomin shook his head and said, "I'm old and uncomfortable, and the current tailors all use machines to sew clothes, and a few of them use hand needles to sew clothes?"

Xie Chunxiang thought about it, and also felt that what Chen Caomin said was right, so he thought about it and said, "Then let him learn to be a tailor who sews clothes by machine?"

Chen Caomin thought for a while and said, "Han Sheng may not be willing, he doesn't seem to be that kind of person." ”

Xie Chunxiang said, "I will persuade him to try it tomorrow, and maybe he will agree." It is better to learn a craft than to go to the field to produce in the future. His body, can he still do that hard work every day?"

"Yes!" Chen Caomin said, "You tell him to try, but I'm afraid he may not be willing." What he doesn't want to do, he won't do, and you know the character of this guy. ”

Xie Chunxiang was really not sure if Chen Hansheng was willing, so he pulled Chen Hansheng aside and asked tentatively, "Hansheng, I want you to learn a craft, how about it?"

"Learn a craft?" Chen Hansheng looked at his grandmother in surprise and asked, "What kind of craft can I learn?"

"There is no hope of going to school. Xie Chunxiang said, "Let's learn a craft! ”

"What kind of craft do you learn?" Chen Hansheng asked out of curiosity.

Before Xie Chunxiang could finish his meaning, Chen Hansheng shook his head and said, "I'm not going to learn this craft!

Xie Chunxiang shook her head helplessly and said, "Then what craft are you willing to learn?"

Chen Hansheng said, "I don't learn anything about this!"

Xie Chunxiang had no choice but to give up this plan, and suddenly remembered Chen Hansheng's younger uncle Chen Huaqiang. Chen Huaqiang is a coppersmith, and entered the township factory, if Chen Hansheng also follows Uncle Xi to learn this craft, wouldn't it be better than being a tailor?

This morning, Xie Chunxiang came to Chen Huaguo and said to Chen Huaguo, "I want you to go to his uncle to learn the craft of coppermaking, and also follow your uncle into this factory, and there will be a bowl of rice to eat in the future, what do you think?"

Chen Huaguo said, "Of course, it is good to learn a craft, but I am afraid that it is not so easy to enter the factory! Although the factory is full of craftsmen, not all craftsmen can enter the factory! Fortunately, the factory director is none other than the eldest son of Chen next door! It's just that the eldest son of Chen is not very easy to speak, and besides, I have already found him for Hua Qiang's entry into the factory, and if I go to him again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to speak!"

"I'll wipe this face!" Xie Chunxiang said, "After so many years of neighborhood, I don't believe that he didn't give me this face!"

"Then you can go and talk about it first!" Chen Huaguo said, "It's good if it makes sense, if it doesn't make sense, I'll try it again." ”

Xie Chunxiang tiptoed into a pair of small feet and came to the house of the eldest son Chen, who just came back from the factory yesterday.

When the eldest son Chen saw that it was Xie Chunxiang, he hurriedly greeted him respectfully, "Third Venerable Mother, why are you here?

"I'm here to trouble you. Xie Chunxiang said, "I want my grandson to go to the township factory and learn a trade from his uncle!"

Eldest son Chen suddenly looked a little embarrassed. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't, Sanzun Po was not only a good elder, but also treated him very well since he was a child. From childhood to adulthood, as long as he walked into Chen's house, the three grandmothers would take care of him as a distinguished guest, and entertain him with delicious food and drink.

Xie Chunxiang continued, "You also know that my grandson was born more than six months ago, and his health is not good, so he can't do anything serious, so you can give a favor, and in the future, we can't afford to have affection!"

Chen Changzi hurriedly said, "It is said that your third wife opened this mouth, I have no reason to say no, it's just that last time for Chen Huaqiang to enter the factory, I have already sold face in front of the township leaders, and I am afraid that the township leaders will have ideas, after all, this factory is the factory of the whole township, not the factories of our two families." ”

"Then what do you mean, do you want to embarrass you?" Xie Chunxiang put her heart in her heart and put herself in the shoes of others.

Chen Changzi was embarrassed to refuse, and even said a little impulsively, "I'm a little embarrassed about this, but no matter how embarrassed I am, I can't help but give your three mothers a face! Besides, since I was a child, you have always treated me like a child, and I will help with this favor! Even if I lose the factory director's hat, I will give it a try!"

Xie Chunxiang listened to it and thanked him a thousand times.

After exiting Chen's eldest son's house, Xie Chunxiang immediately went home and told his family about Chen's eldest son's reply.

When the family heard this, they were surprised and delighted.

Chen Huaguo said, "I think of a problem!"

"What's the problem?" Xie Chunxiang asked.

Chen Huaguo said, "The eldest son of Chen said that he would take the risk of losing his hat to intercede, but we can't let him talk empty and hit the wall! The last time Chen Huaqiang entered the factory, our family owed him a favor, and this time, we can't owe him any more favors." ”

"You're right!" Xie Chunxiang patted her head and said, "Why didn't I think of this?"

"You are anxious about your grandson!" Chen Caomin said bluntly.

"That's the same!" Xie Chunxiang smiled.

As he was talking, Chen Hansheng walked over.

Xie Chunxiang then remembered that Han Sheng's opinion had not been consulted on this matter, and if he was unwilling, it would be in vain. Xie Chunxiang asked Chen Hansheng, "Hansheng, how about letting you go to the township factory and learn the craft of copper making from your uncle?"

"Really?" Chen Hansheng felt that the adults were lying, as if they were making him happy.

"Of course it's true!" Xie Chunxiang said, "Would you like to?"

"Yes!" Chen Hansheng replied loudly.

"Then you play first!" Xie Chunxiang broke away from Chen Hansheng, and then said to Chen Huaguo, "You hurry up and go to the eldest son's house, don't let him go, come to our house at noon, invite him to have a meal, by the way, it won't cost people to work hard for us." ”

Chen Huaguo nodded, this matter can be regarded as settled.
