Qian Qian knew that Wang Shun felt that she was very ignorant, and she also felt that her request was a bit excessive, but there was no way, so she still mustered up the courage to raise her head and stared at Wang Shun's eyes: "I know that Brother Xiaoshun'er thinks that I am a little too ignorant, but I really want my mother to live a more relaxed life." My mother worked hard when she was at home, and she had to endure going to the field when she was sick, I ......"

Qian Qian couldn't say anything, what she said was true, Zhang Wuniang's memory, Zhang's family really worked hard for their small family, not to mention anything else, and Zhang Shusheng saved a dowry of two taels of silver for Zhang Wuniang, which is not something that ordinary peasant women can do.

Wang Shun heard Qian Qian say this, and his face was a little unbearable, but he still didn't agree: "I also understand what you said, but do you know that the kind of place in Zhuangyuan Building is not just a casual recruitment, and working there not only requires a clean family, no illness or disaster, and a down-to-earth and willing work, but also requires more." You say you can do it, but someone has to believe it! Who doesn't know how to talk! ”

"I understand," Qian Qian nodded, "Since the monthly income in that place is one percent higher, the requirements must be high, I can really endure hardships, and I still ...... By the way, Brother Xiaoshun'er, I am literate, can this be a little useful? ”

"Huh? You are still literate, why don't I see it?! Wang Shun circled around Qian Qian and looked up and down.

"I'm really literate," Qian Qian patted his chest and promised: "When my father was here, he was a teacher in the village, and in a few nearby villages, my father was a teacher, and I followed my father to read." But my father fell ill some time ago, and no one taught me, and I almost knew all the words, but I couldn't write well. ”

Qian Qian said the truth again, she knows all the traditional characters, but unfortunately she can only recognize it and not know how to write, and she can't understand many words.

"Awesome, you, you can still write, it's amazing to be able to read!! Unlike your brother and me, I don't know a lot of words. I don't see it, you're still the son of my husband. With an envious look on his face, Wang Shun circled around Qian Qian again.

"By the way, you are literate, will you settle accounts?" Wang Shun then asked.

"I didn't care about the accounts, my family is so poor, where is the account, but I will calculate." Qian Qian nodded, and said in his heart that although we don't know how to use an abacus, but with a modern education, there is no problem with addition, subtraction, multiplication and removal of the cliff, and there is no need for calculus to calculate an account.

"Huh? Even the account can be calculated, so it's not difficult for you to find a job, why don't you stare at the champion building?! Wang Shun looked puzzled: "How good it is for you to find a pawnshop as an apprentice, go to be an apprentice to eat and drink, you are literate and can settle accounts, and then follow the master for a few years, maybe you can become a courtier in the future, then you will be able to make a profit." ”

"But I can't afford it," Qian Qian said to Wang Shun with a melancholy face: "I'm afraid that I haven't come out yet, and my mother will collapse first." There is no monthly salary for an apprentice. ”

"That's right," Wang Shun nodded in agreement: "But do you want to go home and discuss it with your mother, I think Aunt Zhang may not object to you being an apprentice." ”

"My mother will only think about me, I don't want to do this." Qian Qian shook his head: "I want to go to the Champion Building, but also because I heard that there are often things to be rewarded, and if the nobles order food and don't move, sometimes they will reward the guys, I heard that it can be taken home, I want my mother to taste those precious things......"

Speaking of which, Qian Qian was a little weak-hearted, this news was obtained by Qian Qian from the mouth of the vendor selling sugar gourds at the gate of the Zhuangyuan Building, and there is no way to verify whether it is true or false.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shun nodded: "There is such a thing, but, little fifth son, you have thought about it?!" I can tell you, that kind of place, you can't afford to mess with the uncle, you will be rewarded if you serve well, and if you don't serve well, it will be a fatal thing!! ”

When Qian Qian heard Wang Shun's words, he just wanted to help, and nodded hurriedly: "Brother Xiaoshun'er, I think about it, I must work hard to make money to make my mother live a better life." ”

"You...... Alas!! Wang Shun looked at Qian Qian's resolute face, and he didn't say anything to refuse, but just shook his head and said: "That's okay, Old Man Dong's grandson is working in the Zhuangyuan Building, I'll ask him when I go back." I can tell you, I can only help you ask, whether it is successful or not can not be said to be good, the champion building has a high monthly income, if it is really recruited, there must be many people rushing to go. ”

Qian Qian was greatly relieved when he heard him say this, and hurriedly thanked Wang Shun with a smile.

Wang Shun waved his hand at her, and said a little dejectedly: "Come on, don't thank you first, you can't say it or not." After saying that, he turned around and went back to the Yuelai Inn, and muttered all the way to the house: "It's a real loss to eat this baked cake today!" ”

Qian Qian listened to his complaints, ignored him, and went home with a grin, she knew that although Wang Shun was slippery, if she agreed, she would definitely not fool her, and she would definitely help her ask. Of course, whether it can be done or not is a matter of two words......

When I got home, Zhang had already returned, sitting in the yard and busy working, with a lot of torn clothes piled up around him. She found a job to help people mend clothes through Aunt Li, the money is not much, but it is very hard to do, and there is still a time limit. Seeing Qian Qian coming in, she raised her head and said in a somewhat sorry tone: "Wu Niang, I'm afraid my mother won't have the time to cook for you today, or you can take a few coppers and go to the street to buy a cake to eat." ”

"Mother, I just ate baked cakes with Brother Xiaoshun'er, I'm not hungry, Brother Xiaoshun'er gave me a handful of peanuts." Qian Qian originally wanted to say that she came to cook, but unfortunately after she wore it, she didn't stay in the village for two days before she came out with Zhang, and she didn't have a chance to practice the fire burning technique.

After entering the city, settling down, and having a home, Qian Qian originally wanted to practice the technique of cooking on the fire according to Zhang Wuniang's memory, so it can be regarded as a professional skill, isn't it? It's a pity that she found out that the firewood and water in the city need to be bought with money, so the skilled Zhang family cooks these days, just to save resources and spend less money.

Zhang heard her say that she had eaten, so he nodded and lowered his head to continue his work, Qian Qian waited for a while and saw that she didn't speak, and still asked if he wanted to cook something for her.

Zhang shook his head: "Mother is not hungry, since you have eaten, don't start the fire, save some firewood, eat less, and besides, Mother is not free, while the sky is still bright, I have to hurry up and make up for more." ”

Qian Qian sighed, this is another inconvenience of living in the ancient poor family, at night, even a lamp can not be lit, no wonder there is a saying "sunrise and sunset"! As soon as the sun went down, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, so I had to lie down and sleep.
