Because Lin Mancang insisted on learning the craft from Zhao Butcher, the Wang family had a whole night's trouble. She wouldn't blame anyone, and she wouldn't think that her son was looking for some kind of labor for her daughter's pig pancreas, so she had this idea.

It's just that she often hears people say that the pig killer does all the work of killing, and it is the livelihood of eliminating blessings. But if the family is a little rushed, even if they tighten their belts and eat less every day, they will not become pig killers.

Besides, she saw that several pig killers who often came to the village basically failed to find a good daughter-in-law. She even heard of some pig killers, because with bad luck, they have been singles all their lives, and when they are old, they have to count on their apprentices to give filial piety, if the apprentices don't give filial piety, it will be difficult for the pig killers to live.

Wang couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning on the kang, and he was worried that his son, who had just turned his brain, would be unblessed and would kill evil in the future. For a while, I was worried that my son would come to talk about his daughter-in-law, and this fool's hat had not been taken off completely, so he went to kill pigs again, which virtuous and capable girl was still willing to marry him.

Lin Baoru also understood Wang's knot, in fact, she didn't expect that Lin Mancang wanted to be a pig killer.

She also thought about helping her family settle down in the future before she got married. In her opinion, Lin Mancang, who has no strength, really needs to learn a craft. After all, farmer households, especially those like her family, who don't have a lot of fertile land to cultivate, are not a long-term way to make money by their strength alone.

He has been able to move for three years, five years, ten years, and eight years, and what about the future?

It's just that her idea is to help Lin Mancang find a place to learn a carpenter's trade, or a blacksmith's trade. But I didn't expect that people who didn't say a word would be so persistent and persistent when they picked up their ideas, and they were not shaken by the ideas of others at all.

Lin Baoru sighed in her heart, she turned sideways and whispered to Wang.

"Mother, it is said that there is no distinction between high and low in life, and the eldest brother has never liked to talk in his heart, but now he has said a lot, which shows that he wants to learn the craft from Zhao Butcher, and he has been thinking about it for a day or two." Lin Baoru said in a relaxed tone, "I know your concerns, but no matter what my mother has planned, I have to be willing by my eldest brother." ”

This is not the first time Lin Baoru has persuaded Wang, probably in the past, she could always speak to Wang's heart, so every time she persuades, whether it is patient or angry, Wang can listen to it.

Wang also felt that he had something to say in his heart, and when he heard his daughter speak, he naturally stopped turning back and forth.

"My mother doesn't disagree, but my mother is really worried, your eldest brother is in his twenties and has not been able to marry a daughter-in-law. In the past, my mother wanted to find him a disabled person, but no one was willing to come, but now my mother saw that he was getting better, so she greedily wanted to marry him a complete daughter-in-law. Wang's tone was a little tired, and it seemed that this matter had been pressed on her heart for a long time. But if he is accompanied by a pig-killing knife all day long, how can he find a good girl? ”

Lin Baoru sighed commonplacely, this is really ...... I don't blame the Wang family, after all, in this dynasty, there are too few unmarried men in their twenties. Especially the men in the farmhouse, most of them got married at fifteen or sixteen, and when they were in their twenties, the children were able to make soy sauce.

Just said that the biggest reason for those who persuaded them not to separate their families was the family affairs of several children?

In today's dynasties, men have always stood on the lintel. And after the lintel is erected, the big guy has to see how many sons he can give birth to, just like many women can rely on their sons. If you become a relative and have no son, you will be ridiculed as a desperate household, and sometimes when you encounter the old people in the family who are not clear, you may also cause the evil thing of eating a desperate household.

Not to mention, no one has ever wanted to marry. No matter how you go out, you will be less confident than others.

Lin Baoru didn't know how to persuade for a while, after all, she really didn't know which pig killers could make their wives and children hot kang heads. Even if she wanted to persuade her, she couldn't find an example.

Lin Baoru pondered in his heart and said: "They all say three hundred and sixty lines, and the line is the champion." The beggar in the play can still produce a Su beggar, who said that there can't be a pig-killing champion in the pig killer? As long as the eldest brother is willing to learn, and the skills he learns in the future are exquisite, the way out will naturally be left to him. ”

Moreover, in addition to learning the craft of killing pigs from Zhao Butcher, the eldest brother can also follow him to walk around the towns and villages. If the eldest brother has a mind, he can also find out the situation of pigs in the nearby households, and in the future, regardless of whether he sells pigs or collects pigs and resells them to the butcher shop, it is excellent. ”

Wang also knew that her daughter said this to comfort her, but if she thought about it carefully, there seemed to be some truth. She imagined it, and the anguish in her heart was slightly lessened.

"How many families in our village, whether they are poor or rich, don't want to be pig slaughterers. Everyone is afraid that the pig killer will not be able to get a good death. In addition to his son's family affairs, the Wang family is most worried about this.

Lin Baoru chuckled, "Mother, how are you the same as grandma and uncle, look at Danfan's family, whose family is talking about blessings and disasters every day!" If you want to say that there is no blessing in killing, the executioners in the yamen, as well as the Dali Temple Criminal Department under the emperor of the capital and various prisons, have encountered many human lives, and I don't see that everyone is not blessed. ”

Not only does no one say that those people are blessed, but I am afraid that ordinary people have to look up to others and call them officials. Isn't the errand who deals with human life worse than the pig killer?

In fact, Lin Baoru also said it casually, but he didn't expect to provoke Wang to recite a few sentences of "no taboos, no taboos". After reading it, she said to her daughter in disgust: "Don't you dare to talk nonsense, what kind of human life is said in the big wax moon, beware of covering up the way." ”

After speaking, she remembered that what her daughter said about living a good life is not about blessing and fate, so she couldn't help laughing.

Lin Baoru smiled, and then said two words without taboos, and finally coaxed Wang's tone to stop being sad.

She saw that the Wang family really took the words to heart, so she said carefully: "The eldest brother can endure hardships and has strength, but he will definitely be able to earn a good fortune in three or five years." In our farmer's family, when it comes to marriage, it still depends on whether the girl knows the cold and the heat, and whether she can live a life. And the boys, it depends on whether they can rely on them and whether they can work to support their families. The eldest brother is honest, and at a glance he is a reliable person, as long as he runs his life, someone will definitely see his goodness. ”

For the Wang family, who is used to worrying, the rhetoric that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren naturally can't persuade her. Therefore, Lin Baoru can only solve the crux of Wang's entanglement, but fortunately, although Wang's temperament is not decisive enough, he does not know that he blindly complains about people who look down on the craft of killing pigs.

In the dark, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a little sour eyes: "My mother also knows this truth, but I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." But then again, even if my mother takes the idea for your eldest brother, how many years can she take it? He is willing to learn from Zhao Tuhu, then he will learn, it is better than cutting wood and repairing fields every day. ”

God can make her son better, which is already a great joy for her. She will no longer be greedy enough to let her son take advantage of everything......

After eating on the second day, Wang said to Lin Mancang that he would take the time to buy some filial piety and go to Zhao Butcher to apprentice. The two of them thought that the New Year was coming soon, so it was better to take advantage of the New Year's Festival to take a trip to the Zhao butcher who was looking for an apprentice.

If people are still willing to accept Lin Mancang, it would be great. If Zhao Butcher had already accepted a caring apprentice, then they would just go to the door to make a relationship.

After eating a meal, the best mood is probably Lin Mancang. After cleaning up the firewood, he was not idle, and directly made a small stove with Huang Ni. Not to mention, he does his work very carefully.

Lin Baoru just mentioned a few words on the side, and he was able to leave a ventilated place for the fire at both ends of the stove, and the bottom was raised to prevent the fire from being suffocated.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, snowflakes began to fall on a gloomy day for a few days. But at noon, the little snowflakes became dense snow particles. When Lin Baoru went to see the yellow clay stove that was drying, the snow was already a thick layer, and the white was very dazzling.

Xu is the atmosphere of the New Year in the village has become strong in the past few days, so even if it snows heavily, every household is festive. There are also some children who run out early to have snowball fights and build snowmen.

Lin Baoru saw that the snow outside was getting smaller, so she smiled and said to the Wang family, and asked Cairu and Caihe to go to the village to find a familiar child to play.

Originally, Cai Ru and Cai He were just thinking about it, but they didn't expect their eldest sister and mother to really let them go out to play. Immediately, the two of them cheered, hugged Wang and Lin Baoru for a while, and then ran out holding hands.

Xiaoshan, who was nested in his eldest sister's arms, was also eager to try, and while pointing to the snow outside, he looked at his eldest sister and said, "Eldest sister, I want snow ......."

Lin Baoru dressed him funny, and simply put him on the ground and pulled him to the eaves to watch the snow. Of course, from time to time, she will also rub a snowball for the little one to play with.

This is the first time Lin Xiaoshan has played in the snow since he can remember, so it is just a few small snowballs, which is enough for him to be happy.

Wang leaned on the kang and listened to his daughter-in-law and his youngest son laughing together, and his mood relaxed for no reason.

After playing for a while, Lin Baoru returned to the house with the hill that was so cold that his nose was red. Even if he went back to the house, the little guy was still holding two snowballs in his hands, and when he saw Lin Mancang sharpening knives in the house, his eyes were bright and he trotted over full of joy, "Big brother, here you go." ”

Lin Mancang was stunned by the snowball that suddenly appeared in front of him and was still bubbling with cold air, and when he looked up, he heard Xiaoshan's milky words of offering treasure, and immediately hummed, and took it with a relaxed eyebrow.
