Lin Ruan stretched out his hand to take the tea, took a sip, put down the teacup, took out a copper coin from his pocket, and handed it to him: "I didn't have time to prepare a meeting gift for the teacher, although this copper coin is small, I hope that you can be like this copper coin in the future, be thoughtful, be square, be worthy of the sky, be worthy of the ground, and be worthy of your parents and teachers in the middle. ”

Lin Tiezhu listened to Lin Ruan's sonorous words, his face was full of solemnity, he stretched out his hands to take the copper coin, carefully held it in the palm of his hand, and said loudly: "The disciple must always remember the master's teachings and be a responsible person. ”

Lin Ruan nodded with satisfaction: "Hurry up." ”

Lin Tiezhu didn't rush to get up, but knelt there, looking at her expectantly: "Master, I'm already your apprentice, aren't you going to give me a name?" ”

Lin Ruan was confused, and he had to give him a new name to accept his apprentices? I haven't heard of it. She inquired that those craftsmen and bricklayers in the countryside accepted apprentices, and the most they could do was to do an apprenticeship.

Lin Tiezhu said solemnly: "I heard that Mr. Storyteller said that when those heroes accept disciples, they will give their apprentices a new name to represent his status in the sect. So Master, you can name me one too. ”

The corners of Lin Ruan's mouth trembled, did this kid go to listen to the book in order to apprentice?

However, the name of Tiezhu is indeed too down-to-earth, and he will walk beside him in the future, and it is not appropriate to call this name.

After thinking about it, he glanced back at Lin Tiezhu's parents and asked for their opinions.

After all, other people's sons have names, and she changed her name when she became a master, what if her parents are unhappy?

Who knew that Lin Tiezhu's parents looked at her with a smile on their faces, and that appearance was comparable to Lin Tiezhu.

Helpless, Lin Ruan had to think about it for a long time, and finally said: "The name was given by your parents, and it is not good for you to change your name as a teacher." I'll give you a watch, and I'll call it when you're twenty. Immediately, this is your word. ”

This Lin Tiezhu's name is really not good for words, and Lin Ruan also thought about it for a long time before he thought of these two words. The pillar is a thing that stands on top of the sky and the earth, so the word "standing" is also appropriate.

Standing between heaven and earth.

Lin Ruan carefully explained the meaning of the word he named, and the patriarch touched his half-length beard and nodded: "Yes, yes, this meaning is very good, Tiezhu, don't live up to your master's expectations in the future." ”

Lin Tiezhu hadn't gone to school for a day, and his name was given by his father and mother casually, and now that he got such a crepe table, he suddenly felt happy again, and a little embarrassed, and his face was a little red.

His father and mother were also full of excitement, as if their son had obtained such an unusual expression, and he would definitely do something in the future.

Lin Tiezhu kowtowed to Lin Ruan again: "Thank you Master for giving me words." ”

Lin Ruan waved his hand: "Hurry up." ”

After Lin Tiezhu got up from the ground, this apprenticeship ceremony was officially completed.

Finally got what he wanted, Lin Tiezhu stood behind Lin Ruan with his legs, and his mouth couldn't be closed.

Lin Ruan looked at him stupidly, and couldn't help but want to shake his head, this kid is too straightforward. Turning his head and asking his father, "Uncle Baoshan, how is Brother Tie Niu's injury?" ”

Lin Baobao waved his hand: "Ah Ruan, you can't call me uncle again in the future, you and we are the same generation, Tie Niu will see you later, and I have to call my aunt." ”

Lin Ruan's head was full of black lines, and he suddenly grew older, and he was a little unaccustomed to it. She and Lin Baoshan have become equals, so will Lin Zhong become Lin Baoshan's elders?

It's also too messy.

After thinking about it, Lin Ruan said: "Uncle Baoshan, my master-apprentice relationship with Tiezhu will not affect our relationship in the clan, and I will call you according to my previous generations in the future." ”

Lin Baoshan looked at the patriarch with a little hesitation: "Uncle Patriarch, is this appropriate?" ”

The patriarch thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's not inappropriate, the master-apprentice relationship between Ah Ruan and Tie Zhu, that's their business, and the relationship in our clan is not mixed with that." ”

Lin Baoshan then said: "That's okay, just shout like this." Iron Bull's injuries have healed a lot, and the wounds have healed, but alas...... People were depressed a lot, and their daughter-in-law also washed her face with tears all day long. ”

Thinking of the eldest son's injury, the smiles on the faces of Lin Baoshan and his wife faded.

also blame themselves, they didn't strongly object to the two sons entering the mountain at the beginning, otherwise how could it be like this.

Now that the eldest son has lost an arm, all the money he earned from hunting before has been spent on healing his injuries, and this is just the trouble for now. Lin Tieniu's daughter-in-law beat him since he was injured, and he made a fuss at home all day long, crying for a while that his life was miserable, and crying for a while that the child was pitiful, and he couldn't live in the future.

They didn't dare to say anything, for fear of making their daughter-in-law unhappy, so they took the opportunity to make trouble and ask for peace.

But they can't blame their daughter-in-law for being unkind, their son is missing an arm, which is equivalent to a waste person in the future, and even farming is a problem.

Lin Ruan saw that the mood of the two was depressed, so he comforted: "Uncle, aunt, there must be a road before this car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, maybe after Tie Niu's injury is healed, he can find a job suitable for him to do." ”

Lin Baoshan and his wife don't dare to think so much, they are a family of villagers, their ancestors have lived on farming for generations, what else can they do without an arm? Even the simplest pulling of weeds is affected.

It's just that in other people's homes, they can't put on that sad face, and they smiled reluctantly: "Yes, people grow up in this life, who can say for sure." ”

The two families sat and talked for a while, and Lin Baoshan and his wife informed.

Lin Ruan said: "Uncle, aunt, seeing that it is almost dark, stay and eat before leaving." ”

Lin Tiezhu waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I still have to cook at home, there are still a few mouths waiting at home, I have time to go back and sit at home." ”

Seeing that he couldn't keep them, Lin Ruan hurriedly asked Liu Ya to pick up a few snacks and come out.

"Auntie, this is some snacks I bought in the county, take them home and let the children have fragrant mouths."

Lin Tiezhu and his mother resigned: "How embarrassing is this? ”

Lin Ruan was very insistent: "What's embarrassing? From now on, we will all be our own family, I will give my nephew a few snacks, are you still so polite to me? ”

Lin Baoshan said: "Next, what about the child's aunt." ”

Lin Tiezhu's mother took it and thanked him repeatedly.

Lin Ruan brought out another jar of wine for the patriarch: "Patriarch, this jar of wine is Ah Ruan's filial piety to you, you go back and drink it, if you think it's good, I'll sell it for you when you go back." ”
