Chapter 787: Eccentricity
Lian Shouxin asked Old Man Lian to think about it, if Shiro is allowed to work this time, it must be a stable job, then he will become a craftsman in this society from now on.
In this era, the status of craftsmen was lower than that of farmers with fields, especially those who worked in other people's shops and workshops.
However, most people have to go out to work, of course, because of family conditions. In order to survive, it will not be too particular. After all, working for others is also a clean exchange of labor for food. However, even the old man used to be very particular about this. Therefore, Lian Shouxin deliberately asked like this.
"Now, it's ・・・・・・" Even the old man pondered for a while before he spoke, but he was only halfway through his words, as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned his head and asked Shiro, "Shiro, are you happy yourself?" ”
"I'm willing, I'm certainly willing." Shiro replied repeatedly.
"Well, that's ・・・・・・, I can't talk about that. Fourth, I have to entrust this matter to you..."
"Working outside the home is not as good as being at home." Gorou said suddenly.
Gorou's words were a little abrupt, interrupting what the old man was about to say. Lian Man'er couldn't help but glance at Gorou, and the brother and sister exchanged another look. Lian Man'er understood, and Gorou was not happy to listen to Old Man Lian continue. Because he knew that even the old man would definitely say some high-sounding and beautiful things next.
And those beautiful words, they don't feel good when they listen to them.
"What's the matter with going out to work, Dad, you must know. I made such arrangements for Erlang and the Luo family, they begged me to go, and I had to go. Here, since you have also opened your mouth and have this will, let's try it. "Even keep your word.
"Dad, that day I heard from the shopkeeper Jiang that there was a paper shop in Deng Ji in the county town that needed to hire people. If the shopkeeper Jiang told him, it should be possible. Gorou said.
This #阝 Ji's paper shop work is exactly what Lian Man'er's family originally prepared for Luo Xiaoying. Now let Shiro go, but it's just right.
Why did you find this job for Luo Xiaoying, not only because this job has the advantages that Lian Shouxin told Erlang at the beginning, but also because he went to Deng Ji Paper Shop as an apprentice, and it is not easy to get into trouble.
On the one hand, this is determined by the nature of the paper shop, and on the other hand, because Deng Ji is an old shop, the shopkeeper is capable, the management is very strict, and the staff inside is compact, almost no water is splashed. Shiro can only work honestly when he goes.
Even Shouxin turned his head, and said the benefits of the paper shop again, the work is easy, the wind can't blow the sun, and learning is a craft, which can guarantee life.
Hearing that the work was easy, and the wind could not blow or the sun could not be exposed, Shiro was already very happy.
"And how much is the monthly wage?" Lian Shouyi hurriedly asked.
Lian Shouxin was about to speak, Lian Man'er suddenly coughed dryly twice and looked at Old Man Lian.
"Shiro is going to learn the craft, and he wants to earn a lot of money. It's up to you to make a shop. If you can do it, you will make more money. If you are lazy and don't work, then you won't make money, and people will be driven out, and then you will be embarrassed. Old Man Lian received Lian Man'er's eyes, and knew that it was time for him to speak, so he said with a straight face.
"When you go out to work, you're not going to collect money. You have to work hard, you have to work hard, you have to ... ... Even the old man said again, "This is a good errand, if Shiro wants to go, I will talk to you later." ”
"Go, why don't you go there." Shiro said.
The work is easy, and you can still earn some money, and the best thing is to go to the county town, which is much better than being bored in the village every day.
"How much does the salary be, and the person will tell you when you get there. As your grandfather said, it's up to you to do your own thing. The shop can also provide you with a meal at noon. "Even keep your word.
The shop can also provide a lunch, Shiro is even more happy, looking at his appearance, it seems that he can't wait to go to the county seat to work immediately.
"Dad, this job sounds serious, and it just so happens that someone is about to hire someone, so we can talk.
Helping one is also helping, helping two is also helping, just now my father also mentioned my step-brother, or let my step-brother also count as one? After Lian Man'er finished saying to Lian Shouxin, she looked at Old Man Lian with a smile and said, "Master, do you think so?" ”
"Ah......" Even the old man was stunned.
"It's up to us, sir, just listen to your old words." Gorou immediately understood, and followed to say sincerely to the old man.
"It's okay to go, I'll bring a message over there." Even keep your word.
"This, this is not busy first," Old Man Lian glanced at Lian Jizu quickly, and said, "I'll think about it again, it's too much trouble for you." ”
I didn't say anything about the trouble when I made so many requests just now, but now I said that it was too troublesome, and Lian Man'er's face remained unchanged, and she secretly sneered and said nothing.
"We're really out of sight. It's been a long time, and I haven't heard him say that it's troublesome or not. Gorou turned to the side of Ren Shouyi and Shiro and said nonchalantly.
Lian Shouyi and Shiro didn't react for a while, and only echoed with their heads.
"Not really." Lian Man
He laughed.
Even the old man's face turned red and white, and he coughed dryly twice, pretending not to understand Goro's words.
"Gorou, I haven't been to the city, where is this Deng Ji paper shop?" There was a moment of silence in the room, and Shiro asked. This is because he thought that Gorou had spoken to him just now, so he dared to talk to Gorou. "Our village is so far away from the city, is there a place to live in that shop?"
Gorou ignored Shiro, so he pretended to turn his head and talk to Xiao Qi, ignoring Shiro's question
"#阝记啊, I know, it seems to be in the alley behind the market." Even the old man said.
"yes, right there." Lian Shouxin said, "There should be no place to live in the shop, and working outside is not as good as at home." ”
Erlang has been working in the oil mill for half a year, and he has to go out early and return late, and he has to walk nearly 30 miles back and forth every day. If Shiro went to work in the county seat, he would have to walk sixty miles back and forth every day. Shiro obviously didn't want to work so hard, and wanted to live in the city.
Lian Man'er's heart suddenly moved.
"Behind the vegetable market, is that very close to my aunt's house?" Lian Man'er said.
"yes, it's close." Lian Shouyi rushed to say, "It's just two alleys apart." ”
"Then, then I'll live at my aunt's house." Shiro suddenly looked happy and said happily.
Even if it wasn't close, it was much closer than the thirty-mile camp. Shiro is happy to stay in Lian Lan'er's house.
Before the old man could speak, Zhou's face fell with a click.
Lian Shouxin, Wulang, Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi all stood up and said goodbye to Old Man Lian. Even the old man has to keep them to eat.
"When the food is ready, the fire will be lit immediately, and it will take a while. I haven't sat down to eat together for a few days, and I'm a person who lives one day less. In the end, even the old man's voice was a little sad.
"Dad, we're not here, and we're not at this time. I have something to do today, another day, let's another day. Lian Shouxin shirked.
They came early, just because they were afraid of catching up with the meal.
Even the old man insisted on keeping it, and even the trustworthy refusal was very resolute, and took a few children to walk out with their legs raised.
Even the old man saw that he couldn't keep people, so he hurriedly got off the ground and sent out with his family. In this family, the Zhou family is naturally not included. Zhou's old man is even a trustworthy mother, and the shelf is always high, and she will never go down to the ground to greet her.
Walking to the gate, Lian Shouxin stopped and asked Old Man Lian to hurry back to the house.
"Dad, I won't say much about some of them. No one is stupid, they don't say anything, they understand it in their hearts. Lian Shouxin's gaze lingered on Old Man Lian's face for a moment, and then drifted into the distance. I'll listen to the letter when I get back. I gave you the opportunity, and in the end, it depends on how old you are. ”
After speaking, Lian Shouxin turned around very simply and went home with a few children.
When they got home, the father and son took off their coats and sat on the kang, and the Zhang family was busy with tea and hearts.
"I'm tired." Zhang looked at the faces of the few of them when they entered the door, and guessed that they must be unhappy in the old mansion. She didn't rush to ask, but she prepared hawthorn sweet soup for Wulang, Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi, and radish tea for Lian Shouxin.
"Okay." Zhang personally handed the radish tea to Lian Shouxin and explained.
Lian Shouxin took the tea, looked down for a while, and drank a bowl of tea with the same neck.
Even Man'er and Xiao Qi sat next to each other, slowly drinking hawthorn sweet soup, which was one of their young brothers' favorite drinks in winter. Gorou next to him brought sweet soup, only drank half a bowl, and asked the little girl to change the dragon well. Xiao Qi finished his bowl and drank the remaining half of Gorou's bowl.
"Dad, don't be upset, haven't we all estimated it a long time ago?" Lian Man'er drank the sweet soup slowly, and saw that Lian Shouxin's brows were still wrinkled, so he persuaded him.
"The old man is not a person who can't get there, he said those words, he didn't think about it." Lian Shouxin sighed.
In the past, even Shouxin was not completely satisfied with the words and deeds of the old man. However, even if there are some whispers in secret, he almost never expresses it in front of his wife and children. And now, no one else mentioned it, he said such a sentence first, it seems that even Shouxin was hurt and angry today.
"It's not something I just learned about today." Zhang sighed and said, "Forget it, who let us spread it." ”
What he has known for a long time, even Shouxin will be hurt and angry, which can only show that he still cares. Father and son, how can you not care about that. Only when there is expectation can there be disappointment, and only when there is love and affection can there be pain.
"What did the old man ask for?" Zhang asked.
Before Lian Man'er could speak, Xiao Qi rushed to answer.
"This is really ・・・・・・" Zhang was a little speechless when he heard this.
"The first two requirements, that's simply impossible. I'm angry because the old man shouldn't have opened this mouth at all. Lian Shouxin said, "He pulled me into the fire pit, pulled our family into the fire pit, and wanted people to poke our backbone!" ”
Send one more, ask for pink, and there will be two more later.
