Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and as soon as breakfast was finished that morning, Liang Zi and Feiying came to pick up their father.

Tian Qingan quickly finished pulling the rice in the bowl and pulled the peas together to see the excitement.

The boat could seat up to three people at a time, and they crossed the river in two separate parts.

On the other side of the river stood a group of children and seven or eight grandfathers in their fifties and sixties.

After getting off the boat, Liang Zi took the initiative to introduce: "Uncle Tian, this is the village chief of our Xia Tian Village, this is the tenth grandfather, the fifteenth grandfather, and the twenty-seventh grandfather." ”

"Da Zhuang, I know that Master Chen's proud apprentice, we heard more than ten years ago that you worshipped Master Chen as a teacher, and there is nothing that we don't envy...... I heard that they are going to inspect Liangzi and them today, and they are going to accept apprentices, right? Then I want to thank you very much, don't you know, there are more and more people in the village, there is little land, and it is not easy to find jobs in the town, these children are getting older day by day, and they should marry their daughters-in-law in two years, and the family can't afford to pay at all...... In the future, there will be a master of you to teach, and when Liangzi and they learn well and can go to the town and county to take jobs, we have all thought about it, let them work for a few more years, earn more money and marry a daughter-in-law! ”

"The village chief is polite, you have also seen it, my wrist is injured, and I can't do anything else now, I am idle, I am idle, Liang Zifeiying They like to learn, and they are willing to endure hardships, and I am willing to teach them...... But the situation you said is also the same, we have little land here, and there is little work outside, what if we don't find another way, we can't be hungry all the time! ”

"You're so right, I think so, but it's not easy these years, thanks to you...... Also, Da Zhuang, don't call the village chief, if the two generations talk together, you have to call us uncle, you can follow the village to call Uncle Gao! ”

Tian Dazhuang is as good as a stream, "Uncle Gao! ”

"Hey, good!" The village chief happily patted Tian Dazhuang's shoulder, "Look, it's ahead, those are the children's fathers and mothers, after listening to the children, they have been waiting for today for a long time!" ”

A few people walked quickly to the door, the parents were very enthusiastic, the men talked to the father and the village chief, and the women stuffed things into Tian Qing'an and Pea's hands one by one.

"We can't ask for that!" Seeing this, Tian Qingan subconsciously pulled the pea back, and after finishing speaking, she saw that these women seemed to be a little embarrassed and a little anxious, and she suddenly realized!

This is just like in modern times, some patients have to have surgery, and their families will give red envelopes to the doctor, hoping that the doctor will do the operation well.

They are bribery, and they are not at ease, and they want to seek peace of mind.

"But I can't look at it, what do you like, tell the body, we will buy it for you in the town tomorrow!" There was an aunt who was too anxious, so she grabbed Tian Qingan and said.

Tian Qing'an can understand their feelings, after all, it is not easy to apprentice in ancient times, and many people are actually reluctant to accept outsiders, so she smiled, held the hand of this aunt, and looked at the other aunts, "Auntie, I know what you mean, it's not that things are bad, it's not unnecessary, every household doesn't have much surplus food, don't buy these worthless things, it's important to keep them for the children at home to replenish their bodies!" ”

"You don't have to do this, we will be very fair to inspect us today, good is good, bad is bad, my father will not deliberately embarrass anyone, but carpenters do need talent, my father with good talent will naturally accept him as an apprentice, it doesn't matter if you are not talented, as long as you are willing to learn, you can learn together, my father treats everyone equally, so the aunts put their hearts back in their stomachs!"

"Thank you, thank you so much!" The woman wiped the corners of her eyes embarrassedly, "We know that your father has great skills, but we want to be left...... But although my family is poor, I can still take out this little thing, so you can take it! ”

Tian Qingan and Pea glanced at each other, somewhat helpless, their feelings have been in vain for half a day!

But this time she didn't refuse again, if accepting these things would make them feel at ease, then take them first.

Good guy, after opening the first opening, after a while, the sisters and brothers were full of things at their feet, and they could set up stalls and shout on the spot!

When the dad over there saw it, his eyelids couldn't help jumping, but he took it all...... It's a big deal to compensate them later!

Finally after the greetings, Tian Qingan followed his father into the courtyard.

The village chief and the patriarchs of the grandparents also followed, and the parents and children who watched the excitement stood outside the courtyard automatically.

However, the courtyard wall was half collapsed, but it did not prevent them from seeing inside.

Seeing the half-courtyard people in Wuyang, Tian Qingan, like his father, was a little confused.

In addition to more than 40 teenagers, there are more than 10 uncles who look like they are not a small age.

Liang Zicai remembered that he forgot to tell Uncle Tian, "Uncle Tian, that's the case, I heard that you are going to accept apprentices, and a few uncles in the village who have learned carpentry also want to try, except for the seventeen of us who I told you last time, the rest are all unlearned, and they also want to learn, I thought, why don't you let them try it, but I also said that they are not allowed to pester you." ”

Tian Dazhuang nodded, motioned for Liang Zi to go over first, and then looked at everyone and said: "You all know what the situation is today, I want to accept a few apprentices, I don't collect much, there are only three places, I only accept the most talented ...... Don't worry, even if I don't take you as an apprentice, you can learn with my apprentices. ”

"So, in fact, it doesn't matter if you take the test or not, as long as you are willing to learn, I will teach you...... Let's talk about the assessment, you don't have to be afraid, it's not too difficult, it's all basic things, how it is usually, how it is today. ”

After saying that, no one proposed to quit, Tian Dazhuang was a little depressed, so many people have to take the exam when not to say, just the inspection will have to be half a day, can he still rush back to eat?

Tucao and Tucao, Tian Dazhuang kept having a faint smile on his face, "Because I didn't expect so many people to turn around today, so I only prepared things for twenty people, so I can only take the test separately first, and now you will line up and register your name with my daughter first." ”

After that, he gave Liang Zi a look, Liang Zi immediately turned into a squad leader, and beckoned someone to move a table and put it in front of Tian Qingan, "Everyone line up next to each other, don't crowd." ”

Tian Qingan sat down at the table and took out the prepared pen, ink and paper, on which the form had been typed in advance...... She looked at the people in line opposite with a serious face, "Quiet...... Listen carefully, what you need to do later, report your name, age, whether you are married, have children, have been a carpenter for a few years, what you are best at, do you remember? ”

Looking at the shaking of the head on the other side, nodding and nodding, Tian Qingan glanced at the pea next to him.
