This time I want to talk about Lin Xiaoqiang's story.

This male No. 5 Li Bing has a life story, how can the male No. 1 not have it, don't worry, I haven't said it, I'll put it on this time.

Lin Xiaoqiang has great ability and is a powerful thief, but he Lin Xiaoqiang was also born and raised by his father, and he also has a father and mother; No matter how great the ability is, it is not innate, so you have to rely on the master to teach and practice by yourself. From the beginning, Lin Xiaoqiang's parents are farmers, in fact, Lin Xiaoqiang's hometown is in this city, a very remote county below, and the village is called Weiguo Village.

This village belongs to the impoverished mountainous area, and most of the people in a village are surnamed Li, half of the small ones are surnamed Zhao, and there are more than a dozen households with other surnames. It was called Lijia Village before, and it was also called Zhaojiao Village, and changing the name is to see which surname is more powerful. Later, it was said that this was not possible, how could the name of the place be changed casually, so the two surnames were called to discuss, and finally it was decided, and it was not called Lijia Village, nor was it called Zhaojia Village, which happened to be the time to resist US aggression and aid Korea, so it was changed to Weiguo Village. The name is easy to change, the folk customs are difficult to change, the two surnames Li and Zhao are still competitive, and the rule that has been passed down is that these two surnames do not intermarry.

Lin Xiaoqiang's mother is from the Zhao family in this village. Still an only child. When I was young, I was called beautiful, and in today's terms, I am the village flower. Not to mention being beautiful, there are three things that are more powerful, one is that you are born to dress up, don't look at the family is not rich, it is simple to wear, and it can also be cleaned up than the girls who are rich in the village who wear flowers. The second is skillful, the work outside the house, there is no can't, there is no refined, what needlework, make a bean curd bean paste, make a tempeh kimchi, the craft is called really good. The third, that is, since childhood, I have a business acumen, and I know at a few years that I picked star anise and peppercorns from the mountains and sold them to the supply and marketing cooperatives for money to buy sugar. Whether the craftsmanship is good or the people are beautiful, can the business be bad? Gradually, life in this family is getting better and better. You said that such a girl is good-looking, capable, and can make money, but it is difficult to find with a lantern, which family does not want to marry? At the age of sixteen or seventeen, there are more people who come to the door to propose, protect the media, and inquire about the tone. However, Lin Xiaoqiang's grandfather relied on this girl inside and outside the family, this is a girl who supports the elderly, and he was reluctant to get married, so he put forward two requirements, first, the son-in-law has to come to the door, and it is okay to have a child with the son-in-law's surname, but he has to live in our house. It's not a door-to-door son-in-law, it's an aunt for the elderly. Second, our girl, she has had a big idea since she was a child, and she is in charge of everything, and she chooses a son-in-law, as long as she meets the first rule, and the rest will listen to my girl, and my girl will take a fancy to it. As soon as these words came out, eighty or ninety percent of them retreated. At that time, it was a rural area, and although I gave birth to a child with my father's surname, this still meant a son-in-law. Since ancient times, sons-in-law have been dwarfs and equals, and when they hear this condition, they can only forget it. The rest of the people, who are willing to come to the door, will try their best to be courteous to Lin Xiaoqiang's mother. But what do you think, according to the current words, Lin Xiaoqiang, that is a bit of a strong woman's character, unwilling to be manipulated by others, and now he is financially independent, this family actually depends on her to feed, and he has never thought of living on a man, so his vision is high. picks temper, looks, and how much money he makes, and after picking his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, he didn't catch his eye. came and went, and when it came to twenty-four or five, he still didn't get married. Now it's normal to not get married at twenty-four or five, and at that time, it was a rural area, and all the children were born before the legal age of marriage, and these twenty-four or five years were considered old girls. As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, Lin Xiaoqiang and his mother don't care, Lin Xiaoqiang and his grandparents are a little anxious, although this condition cannot be changed, but secretly began to ask people to inquire, a few nearby villages, whether there are suitable young men, and secretly went to see a few. One of them is Lin Xiaoqiang's father.

Lin Xiaoqiang's father, his hometown is not from this village, it is separated by a village. He's half an orphan. How do you call it half? The death of both parents is called an orphan, Lin Xiaoqiang's father, Lin Xiaoqiang's grandfather died early, and Lin Xiaoqiang's grandmother left the child and ran away. Lin Xiaoqiang's father, seven or eight years old, his father died, and his mother was gone, so he was called half an orphan. There are no adults in the family, and they are begging for food in the village, and they are about to starve to death. This winter, a noble man has come. The carpenter master from the neighboring village came to make furniture for a family, and it happened that Lin Xiaoqiang and his father came to this house to eat. As the saying goes, if you come to eat occasionally, the neighbors have to take care of the food even if they look at the faces of the dead. But this day comes every few days, no matter how good the relationship is, no matter how pitiful you are, the faces of others will be more or less brought out. By chance, this carpenter master had a kind heart, and when he saw that the child was pitiful, he said, simply, I'll take it away, take a little apprentice, and if you can't learn the craft, at least it's better than waiting here to starve to death. Just ask Lin Xiaoqiang's father, are you willing? How old is Lin Xiaoqiang's father? I don't understand anything, just listen to the rice, and I agreed to it in one bite. From then on, even if he was the apprentice of the master carpenter, he followed the master to eat, live and learn the craft.

It is said that it is a traditional Chinese tradition in the past, and the first few years were free labor. In the beginning, it was to help with housework and farm work. Lin Xiaoqiang's father doesn't pick it, even if he is in his own home, he has to work? What's more, the food here is better than the food at home before. At that time, carpenters were craftsmen, and everyone's living conditions were good or bad, so you always had to make a few pieces of furniture when you got married, right? You always have to make a few pieces of furniture when you move, right? The elderly in your family are not allowed to prepare longevity materials? If you have the craft, you won't starve to death. Therefore, Lin Xiaoqiang's father's master, although he has four children himself, and raises Lin Xiaoqiang's father, his life is still much better than that of most rural people.

For three or four years, the old carpenter master was also secretly observing. This kid is smart, skillful, and the key is that he has a good heart. That's when he started to call Lin Xiaoqiang his dad and sharpen tools. That's where the art begins. came and went, and in less than ten years, he passed on his life's ability to Lin Xiaoqiang and his father. Several of his children are also carpenters, but this cleverness is a cut worse than Lin Xiaoqiang's father. This old carpenter is a good person, he never hides his selfishness, he teaches everything he knows, and he also takes Lin Xiaoqiang and his father around to do work. After a few years, everyone knew that the old carpenter had an apprentice who had obtained the true inheritance. Lin Xiaoqiang and his father are also sincerely grateful to the master, in addition to eating and dressing, he keeps a few pocket money every day, so he has never asked the master for wages, he takes on some small work, and all the money he earns is handed over to the master. It's just that the old carpenter's sons secretly hate it in their hearts.

The good times did not last long, and within a few years, the old carpenter fell seriously ill and passed away. Before he died, he divided his family, and passed on a few ancient books that had been passed down for an unknown number of generations to Lin Xiaoqiang and his father. To say that the old craftsmen in the past paid attention to the church apprentices starving to death of the master, until the end, they did not show their old bottoms. This old carpenter, his own son didn't pass it on, and passed the things at the bottom of the box to Lin Xiaoqiang and his father, which is really a loving heart. As soon as the old carpenter died, Lin Xiaoqiang and his father cried sadly several times, and just buried the old man, the master's sons said, this old carpenter was here before, he is the master, you are an apprentice, you eat and live in our house, that didn't say. But now, this master is dead, we are at most senior brothers, and you are still eating and living with us, so it is impossible to say. Your craftsmanship is not bad, from today onwards, you can set up your own door. hit the baggage, just a few clothes, and even the tools were not allowed to be brought, so Lin Xiaoqiang and his father were driven out.

Lin Xiaoqiang and his father, thinking that since they drove me out, then I will leave. But where does this go? Home? The houses in my hometown have collapsed. Looking for a job? The tools have to be rebuilt. I found a small hotel to stay in first, and then I thought about the next step. But when this teacher died, he was already sad, and when he met such a conscienceless senior brother, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he became seriously ill. After recovering from his illness, he will have no money on his body. Anyway, if you want to live, the living can't let urine suffocate to death. I had no choice but to go to the dock to carry the sack. You look at Lin Xiaoqiang's previous small body, and from the perspective of genetics, you know that his father is not that tall and burly. This sack is purely hard work, Lin Xiaoqiang and his father can't carry it too much, so they are hungry and full. Fortunately, this craft does not dare to put down, I miss the master very much, as soon as I have time, I will secretly take out those ancient books to see, a look, there is a lot of knowledge in this, the practice of ancient furniture is recorded very completely, the most special, specifically talked about the big wood to do, is a lot of knowledge of ancient buildings. Originally, Lin Xiaoqiang's father learned well, and when he saw this, he learned it.

The so-called opportunity is for those who are prepared. I worked so hard for more than half a year, one day I worked for a day, earned a few dollars, and ate bean curd rice in a small restaurant, with a table next to it, five people sitting, and a carpenter guy next to me. As soon as he saw these tools, Lin Xiaoqiang and his father felt dear, and left an extra ear to listen to what they were saying. I heard these people say, "In any village and village, there are many people who go out to work, and one of them has made a lot of money, and has become the boss." This is the wind that wants to rebuild the ancestral hall in the village. This ancestral hall has been almost destroyed, and to repair it now is equivalent to rebuilding. But as soon as I inquired, there was still this craft as a palm ink master, and I couldn't find it in several nearby counties. It's called looking at the fact that you can't make money.

Lin Xiaoqiang and his father heard it, I will. Asked the owner of the small restaurant to fetch a pound of wine and brought it to that table. When people saw it, we didn't shout about the wine, and the boss said that it was invited by the young man at that table. As soon as everyone saw it, they beckoned to come over, they didn't know each other, this is something. Everyone sat together, said a few words, and listened, this is the old carpenter's apprentice, the forest carpenter, everyone was taken aback, they have all heard of it, this is the true inheritance of the old carpenter, how did it become like this? Lin Xiaoqiang's father diverted the conversation and asked about the ancestral hall, and everyone carefully explained it again, and Lin Xiaoqiang's father said, I have learned this craft, but I have never actually done it. If a few people have the guts, let's team up and take it next. The carpenters were also very interested, and everyone discussed how to invest and how to divide them, and went to that village after eating. At first, I didn't dare to say anything about picking up the work directly, so I went to the decaying ancestral hall and secretly watched it for a long time. At that time, there was no mobile phone, no camera, Lin Xiaoqiang and his father just used his brain to memorize the basic features and important directions. The more I looked, the more confident I was in my heart, and I slapped him, left, and went to the person in charge.

When the housekeeper saw it, a group of carpenters came to take over the job. This is so good, after looking for months, no one dares to take it. I asked, who is the master of this palm ink? Everyone pointed to Lin Xiaoqiang and his father. People look at it, a young man in his early twenties, can this work? Lin Xiaoqiang and his father just talked eloquently, how about here and here, where and where to do it, and talked about it all over the place, and everyone was impressed and convinced. Looks like I really understand. It's decided, you will take it!

This start, Lin Xiaoqiang and his father are desperate. It's called no matter how big or small, it's all hands-on. Eat and live on the construction site every day. Half a year later, the ancestral hall was built. That's called an antique, resplendent gold. I have seen the old people in the old ancestral hall in several nearby villages, and they all pick the thumb brother, and the repair is good, and the pattern is exactly the same as before, but it looks more magnificent than before. Good!

Even if it's famous, our county is a capable person! As soon as a few carpenters discussed, let's just partner for a long time in the future, and Xiaolin is the master of palm ink. This time, the account will be divided according to what was said before, and in the future, it will be divided into Xiaolin according to the share of Master Zhangmo. According to the current words, it is a partnership to set up a company and pull up an engineering team. As soon as this reputation spreads, where is the ancestral hall where the live advertisement stands, the business is endless. Even the restoration of several ancient buildings in the city is the only one they dare to accept. In less than three years, Lin Xiaoqiang's father has earned a lot of money, and his reputation has also been played, and the dilapidated house in his hometown has also been rebuilt, and the three-story small western-style building is unique in several nearby villages.

With such good conditions, Lin Xiaoqiang's grandfather was also tempted. But my own conditions were released a few years ago, how can I lick the saliva I spit out? If this man doesn't agree, he will shave his head and pick his head hot. Don't panic first, please ask a few acquaintances, and go to find out the wind first. This exploration, Lin Xiaoqiang and his father said, it doesn't matter where I get married and live, anyway, I have been alone since I was a child, I have no father and no mother, and there are no relatives in this village. I have the ability to repair this building, and I have the ability to build one for my daughter-in-law's house, so isn't it the same to live?

The news came back, Lin Xiaoqiang and his grandfather were called excited, isn't this pie in the sky? Hurry up, I don't know how many people are worried about such a golden beetle son-in-law! In a hurry, I asked someone to introduce the children to meet and get to know each other. Not to mention, Lin Xiaoqiang is young and beautiful, dressed up in a fashionable manner, and has a good temperament, although she is a village girl, she is no worse than the big girl in the city. Lin Xiaoqiang's father is also young and promising, and it is the time to be high-spirited. The two of them, eh, looked at each other at once. Not long after falling in love, the two families came up with money, of course, Lin Xiaoqiang and his father took the lead, repaired a new house, played furniture, got married and entered the cave house in a lively manner, and the family lived a prosperous life.

Life is good, and there are many people with red eyes. And then something happened. This is not pressed in advance. said that not long after the young couple got married, Lin Xiaoqiang was born. Isn't that the top of the family's heart? But this Lin Xiaoqiang, although he inherited the advantages of his parents' cleverness and dexterity, he just didn't like school. When he was in elementary school, he skipped school every day, and no matter how many times his father called, he just didn't change. Lin Xiaoqiang will persuade, forget it, if you can't study, I will follow you to learn the craft in the future, even if I just follow me to learn dry food, it is not to eat and marry a daughter-in-law. Lin Xiaoqiang's parents, they haven't read any books, this culture is poor, and their ideology is only at this level, the life at home is good, the child can't read well, it's not good to read, a few years older, just follow the craft, with the current conditions of my family, can I still live poorly?

Lin Xiaoqiang is lawless now, and he is crazy every day. When Lin Xiaoqiang was eight years old, an elderly man died in a family in the village, and he hired a performance team. At that time, there were gradually more cultural and recreational activities in the city, and there was still no popularization of TV in the countryside, even if I bought a TV, I also erected an antenna by myself, and I couldn't collect a few stations. The ones who came to perform were also grass stage teams, and the quality of the program was not good, but it was just a lively picture. There is an old man who does magic in the middle, one day he saw Lin Xiaoqiang climbing a tree, this is a good seedling, secretly pay attention, observe for a few days, the more I look at it, the more I love it. I inquired privately and asked him about the situation at home. I was annoyed again, and when I saw Lin Xiaoqiang's parents, I said, this kid is not a material for reading, I think he has a good talent, why don't I take in an apprentice and follow me to learn some crafts.

Lin Xiaoqiang's mother is willing to do it. But when Lin Xiaoqiang's father heard it, he was a little moved. This old man is a kind man at first glance, and it is a good thing to teach children the craft. Lin Xiaoqiang's father was raised by his master, and his ability to eat was also passed on by his master, so his views on apprenticeship are different from others. didn't say anything, called Lin Xiaoqiang, and asked him, you don't have to worry about this study, if you find a master to learn the craft, are you happy? Lin Xiaoqiang asked, what are you studying? The old man who came laughed and changed a few small tricks. You think, Lin Xiaoqiang's eight-year-old child, there is something unusual in the village, he can't take his eyes off when he sees this, and he says yes vigorously. Well, Lin Xiaoqiang's father agreed to this apprenticeship.

But this apprentice is a mentor, the old man is a person who walks everywhere, and the child will take it away for you, and it will not work if he abducts and sells it to us. asked acquaintances to investigate the background again, and looked for a guarantor, tossed around, and finally performed the apprenticeship in front of Lin Xiaoqiang's parents, Lin Xiaoqiang's mother cried sadly, and sent her son to follow the old man. This old man is the heir of several generations of thieves, Lin Xiaoqiang's master.
