Many people in the world are nostalgic for the old, and the stories that happen will always leave deep traces in the hearts of these nostalgic people, and they will sigh every time they recall it. The eighth master in front of him was obviously deeply immersed in his own memories, and the days of infinite scenery that had gone away made the old man in front of him sigh for a long time.

"Alas!" The eighth master sighed and continued to look through the past.

In order to save money, the eighth master accepted a lot of apprentices, and after getting along for a long time, he found that there were differences between these apprentices and the successors he wanted, which inevitably gave birth to a sense of powerlessness without a successor, and also made him more eager to receive a good apprentice who was satisfied.

He stood on the top of the freshly watered second floor, smoking a cigarette and looking at the busy people below him. Because it has just been watered, the two-story building has to wait for the capping cement to dry before it can be further built.

For the past two days, he has been paying attention to the weather changes. The day in the summer is like a baby's face, always say that the change will change, under normal circumstances, the owner will arrange the cap in the autumn and winter, when the rain is relatively small, the owner does not know whether it is really anxious to live in a new house, but to catch up with the construction period, in the hot summer he wants to end the project, he is busy every day, but also worry about the weather affecting the quality of the project.

When the young Eighth Master was worried, a thunder made the sky even more gloomy, I was really afraid of something, the Eighth Master muttered in his heart, and before he could react, the raindrops began to fall. The rain in summer is no better than in other seasons, and the rain is the size of soybeans, and it is about to be smashed down with a lot of energy.

The eighth master was busy trying to beckon the apprentices to quickly use plastic sheets to cover the cement that had just been capped, but found that the apprentices were scattered and ran away, not knowing where to run to avoid the rain. scolded these unsatisfactory apprentices in his heart, and the eighth master was angry.

Just when he was busy covering the cement that had just been poured in the morning with the plastic sheeting at hand, he saw a young man holding a large bundle of plastic sheeting gathered into his arms from downstairs, stepping over the gravel and sand piles on the construction site, and striding towards him.

This is the first time that the young eighth master has looked at the young third uncle differently, although the third uncle has been working on this construction site for a long time, just because the third uncle is a small worker invited by the owner, the eighth master has not paid special attention.

Since that time, the eighth master has been observing this inconspicuous guy very carefully. Practical, hard-working, responsible,

Learning things quickly and having a lively brain, this is the eighth master's evaluation of the third uncle's work performance when he was young. The project was finally successfully completed after a month, and the eighth master proposed to accept the third uncle as an apprentice, but the third uncle refused, "I want to save enough money to do what I want to do." This was the reply that the third uncle gave to the eighth master at that time, which made him remember it deeply.

Originally, the intersection between the two of them should have stopped at this moment, but the eighth master was unwilling, "It's so easy to look at a satisfactory seedling, how can you let it go easily." The eighth master changed his mind and said that if there was a project in the future, he would ask the third uncle to work together, so that earning money would not be delayed, and the third uncle obviously had no reason to refuse this proposal.

In this way, as long as the third uncle is busy with the farm work in the field, he will go to the project contracted by the eighth master to do short-term work. During this period, the eighth master did several jobs that he wanted to take the third uncle as an apprentice, but he was unsuccessful.

"No book can be made without coincidence." The eighth master pulled out of his memories and sighed at me.

It wasn't until the eighth master's daughter, who was studying in college, came home from vacation and went to the construction site to deliver food to the eighth master that she found out that the third uncle and his daughter had been classmates in junior high school, and the two had a particularly good relationship because of the class learning interaction group.

The eighth master's daughter is young, energetic and cheerful, and she is naturally warmly invited when she sees her old classmates. This made the eighth master see the hope of accepting apprentices again, and under the graciously invitation of the father and daughter, the third uncle went to the door to eat every other day. After some persuasion from the father and daughter, the third uncle finally chose a path that he didn't like so much.

"The twisted melon is not sweet!" The eighth master recalled the experience of the third uncle as his apprentice.

In a year's time, the third uncle learns things really quickly, as long as the eighth master teaches it once, or even does not need to teach, just watch it once, the third uncle can do it with his understanding and hands-on ability, and the eighth master has always been happy to have such a smart apprentice.

The third uncle is a kind man, believing that he will be a teacher for one day and a father for life, no matter how busy he is, he will always find time to go to the eighth master's house to help do something, chop wood and carry water, sow seeds in spring and autumn, and always do his best to do it. The eighth master and his daughter-in-law praised this apprentice for being good when she saw people, and even the neighbors next door praised the third uncle as a good guy.

It's just that what others see is just the appearance. Until one day, the third uncle and the eighth master had a thorough long talk, and after that time, these people who were immersed in the appearance found that they had ignored the third uncle's true inner thoughts, and the relationship between master and apprentice became tense.

"It's not what I like." The third uncle's words made the eighth master very angry.

"If you don't like it, you have to have a craft to make a living." The eighth master's bitter words failed to convince the third uncle.

"Master, I'll try to do what I want to do first, and if it doesn't work, I'll come back and help you work steadily." The third uncle still refuses to give up what he wants to do, and wants to keep the last bit of hope.

"I taught you so hard, and now I have taught you out, and I can become a teacher, if you throw away this mess, you are a white-eyed wolf!"

It was an unhappy communication, and both men had their own thoughts. The third uncle really doesn't like to be a mason, and he agreed to be an apprentice at the beginning, but also because in the face of the warm invitation of the eighth master's family, he felt that it was really difficult to shirk it.

But what the eighth master thinks is that the third uncle who came out of the school can help him build a few more new houses together, and with a capable helper, he will be much easier, and in a few years, he can't do it himself, so he can let this apprentice take over these jobs. People are always selfish.

"At that time, I was so angry that I got into the eye of the needle, and I couldn't see anything else." When the eighth master recalled this period, sighs became more and more frequent.

"After that, your uncle never came to work on the construction site again, but he still came to my house occasionally. I was stubborn at the time, and I got angry when I saw him, and I chased him away every time. The eighth master shook his head and continued, "Later, I heard that your uncle bought a tractor and said that he wanted to pull bricks, I knew that he had never learned to drive, let alone a driver's license, and I didn't know what he thought at the time, so I didn't want him to do it, and I thought that if I couldn't do it, you had to come back." So I went to the traffic bureau and reported your uncle. The eighth master looked at me, obviously a little guilty, and didn't say anything further.

"I have an impression of this, but after so many years, my uncle shouldn't blame you." I can only console myself.

"What happened later surprised everyone!" The eighth master held his face with his hand.
