The little dog took a breath and said: "But master, you proposed to use your hard work and craftsmanship to change the manure for me, I still can't agree, the usual master has received more work than I need to help, how can I make a lot of extra furniture to exchange for manure, you don't let me help again, I can't agree, master, don't worry, I will come back tomorrow night to help, of course, if I really have too much work on the ground that day, I can't come at night, I will also come over with the master, the master and... … And also...... And the lady said it! ”

The old carpenter laughed a few times after hearing this, and he patted the little dog on the shoulder, and said to the little dog very trustingly:

"My old carpenter has been kind all his life, and I have never been able to figure out why my daughter has to suffer like this, but now I know that God treats me as an old carpenter very well, first gave me such a sensible and lovely daughter, and now I have sent me a good son-in-law who is so capable and persevering, old carpenter, I have no regrets in my life! Since you say so, if this is not the case, you and we will be a family in the future, we will definitely not force you to join our family or have to live outside or something in the future, because we know you, those worldly agreements are nothing to you, you just live according to your own heart and kindness, you want to continue to run your wasteland and post station well, you will come to me every night after work to have dinner, so that by the way, you can also help me do some work at night, And you don't have to think that you are taking advantage of me or anything, because of your night's salary, we will not be out, just care about your dinner and the manure I earned for you, do you think it's okay? But it doesn't seem appropriate to talk about dinner and manure together! ”

The master felt ridiculous and gently hammered the old carpenter, and looked at it together, the daughter and the puppy whose faces had already turned red into sunset, and the family laughed happily again.

Because everyone was very happy about this meal, and unconsciously ate it until the middle of the moon, the old carpenter rarely did not do any work all night, perhaps because of the wine, and the conversation must have been more usual:

"Little dog, do you know why my daughter has been delayed until now?"

The little dog shook his head, and the master glanced at the tearful daughter next to him, and pretended to cough twice at the master, signaling him not to mention those sad pasts, but the master looked at the little dog with a very trusting look, and he believed that the little dog would not have any other ideas because he knew what was going on, and besides, such a thing, it was up to him to tell the little dog that it was always better than later, and he needed his daughter to explain the reason to the little dog in person.

The old carpenter first took a big sip of wine, and then his eyes were a little red, and he said with some discomfort:

"Originally, everyone may think that it is because my daughter has a slight disability in her legs, so she has not been able to marry, in fact, we here, the youngest daughter's family began to have a matchmaker in the grade of seven or eight years old, at most at the age of twelve will definitely be married, and wait for a few years, fourteen or fifteen years old, at most sixteen years old will marry to the in-law's family, and my daughter, the length is not ugly, and the character is good, but why is the fourteen pairs not even married, in addition to the daughter's leg disease, the biggest reason, It's that I don't want to marry her out so early, we all know that once my daughter marries out, it's the water that spills out, no matter how good or bad she is, I can't take care of her anymore, care about her, but the matchmaker always comes to introduce, are those who are lazy and lazy, and they don't have any sense of responsibility, no matter whether their family is poor or not, how can I rest assured that my daughter will be handed over to him, and then finally there is a person who seems to be honest, but his mother has not seen my daughter, so she said directly, If my daughter marries, then not only will not give a penny of bride price, but we need to give more than half of the family property as a dowry, just because his son is able-bodied, and my daughter is not, although my family property is not much, and I didn't want to take it to the ground, I will definitely leave it to my daughter in the future, but this will be calculated, so look down on my daughter's mother-in-law, my daughter married, how can she be happy?! ”

"From that day on, I thought that the two of us had to find a future husband for our daughter by ourselves, even if we didn't meet that person who could be trusted in our whole life, then we would raise our daughter for a lifetime, which is why we were so economical in doing furniture work, and we were reluctant to hire people, but worked hard day and night. Until she meets the person she likes, someone who is willing to be good to her, I know you may laugh at us for being stupid, but in the other decades with her daughter outside, she can live happily and happily, it is better than suffering from her in-laws' side when she was just a teenager at the beginning, if so, maybe her daughter might as well be so happy, the three of us discussed this idea no less than three times, and finally made up our minds not to change it! ”

"Now we met you, puppy, thank you! Thank you "Daddy" which second master taught you so well, your character is so valuable, you are really the lucky star of our family, I will tell you everything now, that is, my old carpenter firmly believes in your personality, you will never fail me, you will never fail my daughter, a gentleman, the horse is difficult to chase, if you have any difficulties in the future, come to us at any time, we will try our best to save us, you can rest assured, from today onwards, if you don't dislike it, even if it is half of our son! ”

The little dog was also moved to tears, after his father left, at this time, the little dog felt the enthusiasm and warmth from the bottom of his heart, he hurriedly wanted to kneel down to the old carpenter and salute again, but the old carpenter stopped him, and continued to say to him:

"Although the little girl is over 14 years old, you haven't started a business yet, I don't know what you have to plan? Whether you want to start a family first and then start a business, or start a business first in starting a family, we will all support it, all the expenses of the wedding, you don't have to worry, I and your sister have already prepared, you don't have to worry about anything, just do what you want to do! ”

After saying that, the old carpenter looked at the puppy expectantly.
