Zhao Laosan returned home, and his daughter Zhao Xiaoman brought him cornmeal nests and pickles.

Their family doesn't look at Zhao Laosan as the head of the water, but the family has no other income, and the two acres of mulberry fields planted are barely enough to chew, but the family has a large population, Zhao Xiaoman is the third daughter, and Zhao Laosan has two sons and two daughters in the family.

The two sons Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Qingshui have already married a family, and there are two more mouths in the family, but there are not many items.

Nature is stretched.

Thanks to that gambling agreement between Lu Jian'an and the Cao family, he made some extra money.

Otherwise, this year will not be easy.

The two sons have not yet added children.

But the two daughters-in-law are two mouths.

Two daughters, the eldest daughter Zhao Xiaoxia married the year before last, and married in Fengshan County, her mother-in-law's family has a few acres of mulberry fields, and she is an only son, and her life is not good or bad.

People like them can be regarded as a good match.

Zhao Xiaoman is left unmarried.

But last year I ordered a family business.

Originally, it was said that it would be over next year.

Zhao Laosan was also a little hesitant.

Zhao Xiaoman watched his father smoking dry cigarettes, and he didn't move a mouthful of food, knowing that he was in trouble.

Turned around and went out.

Her mother washes clothes for others to subsidize the family.

"Mother, I'll come, you go and see my father, I look like I have something on my mind."

Rolling up his sleeves, Zhao Xiaoman began to take over a large basin of clothes.

Her mother wiped her hands and went inside!

Sure enough, the room was full of smoke and miasma, and Zhao Laosan couldn't stop smoking as soon as he had something on his mind.

Open windows and doors.

"Look at you, there is something to say, what is this for!"

"Well, I can't make up my mind, it's not like I just want to take two puffs."

Zhao Laosan extinguished the dry smoke gun and sighed.

Whoever makes his family will be left with a girl.

The sons are in their twenties, and if they want to be apprentices, no one can ask for them, and not all of them are like Xu Mengshan, who has a disciple of the silkworm god Niangniang as a master.

He knew it in his heart.

Lu Jian'an was right.

Once you're an apprentice, you can't help yourself.

Xiaoman is about to get married, and now let the child go, is it ruining the child's life.

But being an apprentice and being able to learn to reel silk is simply the lifelong wish of every household in Fengshan County, maybe it is the wish of several lifetimes.

The family finally had an opportunity.

What to do yourself.

"Daddy said! What's the matter? ”

"I told Master Lu that I wanted Xiaoman to be an apprentice, but you also know that an apprentice can't become an apprentice in a few years, and the craftsmanship of the silk reeling master is not something that can be learned by speaking. Master Lu asked me to come back and think about it, don't delay the child's marriage. ”

Zhao Laosan was also hesitant.

Once he becomes an apprentice, the man is willing to wait, but if he is unwilling, it is estimated that the marriage will be yellow.

are all ordinary people, let people wait for Xiaoman for their family's affairs, and they will be poked in the backbone.

So it's a choice to make.

Let him fold this opportunity, Zhao Laosan is even more reluctant.

What kind of glory does the silk reeling master represent, and which silkworm farmer is not dreaming of learning this craft.

This time it was because he happened to meet Lu Jian'an, if Lu Jian'an didn't agree, he couldn't force it, but Lu Jian'an was relieved, how could he not be moved.

"Yes, Xiaoman's marriage can't be delayed."

The daughter-in-law of Zhao Laosan's family was also helpless, her eyes were shining, this was an opportunity.

"Or, ask Master Lu, can't Qingshan or Qingshui?"

Her mother still feels sorry for her two sons.

After all, the boy learned the craft! There is hope for the whole family.

If a girl learns, she will not marry outside in the future, but her in-law's family.

"What are you confused about, that's who you say is who you are! I also have to be willing to be Master Lu, but this is still my wasted strength, otherwise Master Lu may not agree, and you don't know, the younger you are, the more willing you are to accept it. ”

He wanted to, too.

But I didn't dare.

That mouth won't open.

No one can say that.

Being an apprentice at the age of fifteen is fun enough.

Don't say it's bigger.

"But Xiao Man saw that the marriage with the Cheng family was coming, this broke the contract, we are not human, and we have accepted the dowry from others."

Xiao Manniang felt sorry for her daughter, who was busy with the family at a young age, and almost all the work at home was done by her daughter.

They have to be busy in the field, they have to be busy outside, and they have to work part-time jobs in their spare time, and their daughters have been doing it inside and outside the house.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age.

Now that she is about to get married, if she tosses like this, this child may become an older leftover girl.

In their Fengshan County, that is, the entire Chen country, it is difficult for a woman to talk about marriage after the age of fifteen.

Don't say that apprenticeship is not a one-year or two-year thing.

"I'm also afraid of delaying the child."

How could Zhao Laosan not know.

"Daddy, I'm going to be an apprentice."

I don't know when Zhao Xiaoman was already standing at the door, I should have heard the words of the two just now, and Zhao Xiaoman spoke by himself.

Glancing at the little girl, Zhao Laosan sighed.

Beckoning, "Come in, girl!" ”

It's a dilemma.

"Dad, don't worry, I said that I will be an apprentice, I know that if I become a silk reeling master in the future, the family will not need to worry, the eldest brother may not be able to build a house, and the little nephew will not be able to afford it even if he is born."

Zhao Xiaoman knew in his heart that their family's life was tight.

If it weren't for the fact that his father could still mix the water head and have a lot of income, their family would actually be inferior to other people's families.

Don't think that life is easy at Shuitou's family.

Their family is eating in the cocoon market, and compared with the water head of the cocoon market, her father is an errand boy.

To put it bluntly, this bite of rice is not delicious.

"You girl, don't think about it, since you heard it, my father is also talking to you about my heart, to put it bluntly, my father is still biased towards your brothers, there is no craft at home, and those few acres of mulberry fields are enough to feed and wear, if the year is not good, I am afraid that even food and clothing are not enough.

The flowers at home rely on me to fool around outside, but the water head is not easy to do.

At the end of the year, it's only ten taels of silver.

But you have also seen it in our family, there are seven or eight mouths inside and out, and your father and I are still tempted. ”

Zhao Laosan was also distressed when he looked at his daughter.

Give it to someone as an apprentice, listen to the scenery, but how can he not know inside, the apprentice is not even as good as a subordinate, sweeping the floor and cooking, washing clothes and going to the ground, doing a lot of work, eating the least, and being beaten and scolded is a common thing.

If you encounter a ruthless person, it is common to be killed.

The apprentice really has to suffer a lot if he wants to get through.

Zhao Xiaoman pulled Zhao Laosan and said resolutely: "I'll go!" Dad, go and retire from that family business, Cheng family, we are sorry for others! The dowry is also sent back to others, and it can't delay Brother Cheng's future. I'm still young, if I can learn the craft, at least my life will not be bad in the future, let me help the family for some time. ”

The child's words were so cute that the two of them turned red.

They don't have the ability to be parents.
