The family suddenly turned on their backs, asked for a doctor, and took medicine, spending her hundreds of dollars. Don't talk about the money spent, her wife talked to her behind her back for a while. and the little daughter-in-law, until the day she returned to the town, she didn't give her a good face.

The depression in Zhang's heart almost made him feel sick. After that, she treated Xiaocao as the dead girl was air, and no matter what she did, she didn't see it. Fortunately, that girl, except for only taking care of her own family during meals, there was nothing unbearable for her. For the sake of silver, she endured!

"Mother, mother!" Lee's obsessive figure hurried back from outside. When I crossed the threshold, I almost tripped over.

She looked around the courtyard, pulled Zhang into the house like a thief, and said mysteriously: "Mother, our family's expenses have been a lot recently, right?" I feel sorry for you!! The second family is too good to eat, four children, and two or three adults can eat! ”

The fire in Zhang's heart was arched again, and he echoed: "It's not! A bag of coarse grains bottomed out in a few days. The money flowed like flowing water. I'm so anxious, my mouth is full of bubbles. The second daughter-in-law looks honest, why doesn't she know how to share the family's worries at all? ”

Zhang said as he patted his thigh, his face full of dissatisfaction.

Li said with empathy: "It's not! The second daughter-in-law can only do superficial work. She also said outside that she did all the work at home alone. Who out there doesn't praise her for being virtuous? I'm fine, but I'm being told to be lazy. It's your mother-in-law, but you've become a harsh daughter-in-law! ”

Zhang gritted his teeth for a while, and said hatefully: "This hateful mother-in-law turned out to be an internal poison. I misread her!! ”

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Shi said the purpose: "Mother, if she doesn't take you into account like this, won't she rely on the number of children and someone to support her in the future?" I have a way to reduce her spirit. ”

"People have many children, and they will give birth. It's like you, you only laid an egg, and then you didn't move!! For the eldest daughter-in-law who only gave birth to a sunspot, Zhang's has long been dissatisfied, but now is not the time to say this, she asked, "What method, let's hear it." ”

"My brother said that the carpentry shop in the town was looking for apprentices. The second family's Xiaosha is not small, when the apprentice is in charge of food and housing, the family saves a person's rations, not to mention, in the future, if you learn a craft, isn't it also a livelihood? Li said as he foamed at the mouth.

Zhang frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Woodware shop? Is that the seal? I heard that the shopkeeper of that chapter was very brutal, and the guys in the store changed it one after another. Some are still disabled, if they ......"

Li's fat hand waved and said, "It's just a rumor, my mother's brother knows the shopkeeper Zhang, that person is usually quite kind, otherwise the business would not be so big." It's just that the apprentices are demanding. Who picks an apprentice and doesn't want to pick a job that can do it, you think? ”

Zhang's thinking about it is also, Xiaosha of the second family is not lazy, he went out as an apprentice, and when he came back in three or five years, he could make a lot of money as a carpenter.

At dinner that evening, Zhang announced the news while everyone was there, and said: "Xiaosha is a diligent and sensible person, and he learns things quickly. Maybe you will be able to make money in less than two years. It is much safer to have a craft than to go in the wind and waves in the future. The woodsmith shop only recruits one apprentice, otherwise, they will also send Kuroko there. In the future, the brothers will do their own work, or open a store, isn't it better than anything else? ”

The family listened to it and didn't have any big opinions. Only Yu Hai hesitated a little: "Mother, I heard that the apprentice of the carpentry shop has to do rough work for a long time when he enters. Xiaosha is young, and he is afraid that he will not be able to do the work of carrying wood. ”

When Zhang heard this, he immediately pulled down his face, put the bowl on the table, and said unhappily: "It's eleven, still young?" I will be able to marry a daughter-in-law in two years!! Second, you can't be so used to being a child! Mother, this is also good for you, the carpenter Wang in my mother's village helps people make furniture, food and clothing every year, but they are much better than us!! ”

Yu Xiaocao looked at his brother who had just been raised with some concern and scolded in his heart: Don't talk about Carpenter Wang, the village is much better fed and dressed than our family. It's not that our family has no money, it's that grandma is too picky, and the uncle who is just eccentric goes. How ruthless is it for such a young child to be sent out as an apprentice!

She poked the bean soup in the bowl hard, and muttered in a low voice: "Such a good thing, why don't you let Brother Heizi go?" He is three years older than his brother, he has caught up with adults, and he is still messing with cats and dogs in the village, shouldn't he go out and learn something? ”

When Li Shi heard this, he immediately exploded: "When adults speak, how can there be any children's business?" Second, what are you used to your children? ”

Zhang wanted to say something, but swallowed it again, but said, "What can Heizi's temper do?" I returned it two days after I sent it. If you want to learn a craft, the sea has been skillful since childhood, and people can weave baskets and learn it after watching it twice. Xiaosha followed his father at this point, and he couldn't go anywhere. ”

"Mother, I didn't say I wouldn't let him go. I just want to wait for two years for the child to be older and grow in size, and then go to ......" Yu Hai was still not at ease, looking at his son who had just reached his armpit, he was good-natured.

Zhang interrupted him and shouted, "You are the one who opened the woodware shop?" Go when you want? Whose child went to apprenticeship, didn't he send it from an early age? When you're older, you're slow to learn, who wants it? ”

What else did Yu Hai say, Yu Hang, who had been silent for a long time, spoke calmly: "Dad, what grandma said is that I'm not young anymore, and it won't hurt me to learn some crafts." The second bolt in the neighboring village also served as an apprentice, saying that as long as his eyes are active and his hands and feet are diligent, there is nothing to blame. I'll go! ”

Yu Hai knew that the eldest son usually looked silent and had a big idea. He thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with letting his son try it, if it didn't work, he would spend two dollars to bring the child out.

Yu Xiaocao saw that the eldest aunt was so active in promoting the eldest brother to become an apprentice, and said that there was nothing boring in it, but she didn't believe it. But what was wrong, she couldn't say. I could only watch my brother pack up a bag and be sent to the woodware shop in the town.

In the blink of an eye, the hot summer passed, and the cool autumn came. The soybean sorghum in the field is the harvest season, and the joy of a good harvest is everywhere.

The Yu family is a typical fisherman, who focuses on fishing and hunting and light farming, and grows high-yield sweet potatoes on three acres of sandy land. If you want to harvest, you have to wait for a few months.

In autumn, the prey is fat. Every season, the Yu family no longer let Yu Hai go out to fish, leaving him to hunt full-time at home. Almost every other day, Yu Hai went up the mountain. Sometimes he is with Zhao Orion, and more often he goes up the mountain by himself.

Yu Xiaocao relied on her father's favor and pestered Yu Hai to take her into the mountains. But considering that there are many snakes, insects and beasts in the mountains, and the youngest daughter is weak, Yu Hai doesn't agree with anything. only coaxed her, promising to leave her a wild thing every time she came back.

Eat game every day, and you will get tired of it after a long time. After the family was able to eat enough, Yu Xiaocao no longer focused on eating and drinking. She wants to make money, and she doesn't panic when she has money in her hands. It's a pity that at this stage, she can only do it secretly. If she can split up, she can do it openly. It's a pity that in ancient times, parents were not separated from each other, and there was very little hope!

However, at Yu Xiaocao's age of eight years old, there are very few ways to make money, and it is really difficult for her to do it secretly.

In desperation, she set her eyes on the multicolored stone on her wrist. The little mending stone was furious in her heart when she saw it, and jumped out: [Don't want to use me as a bait again, I am a dignified mending heaven god stone, how can I do such a cheap thing? 】

Yu Xiaocao said with a little embarrassment: "Little Tangyuan, isn't there no way?" You also said that every time you help me, the master, the speed and purity of absorbing aura will improve. Being a bait bait is also a kind of help! Otherwise, our whole family is in great health now, where would you have the opportunity to show your talents? ”

Xiao Tianshi, who was forced to add the name "Tangyuan" by the owner of the weak chicken, was so angry that he ignored Yu Xiaocao for several days. Later, seeing that she was unrepentant, in desperation, she had no choice but to bear this name that was not majestic or spirited, and died deeply depressed.

Hearing Yu Xiaocao say this, Xiao Tianshi was a little shaken. Ever since it found that every time it helped Yu Xiaocao, Lingzu Niangniang's confinement had been loosened, so its speed and purity of absorbing spiritual energy had increased. If you want to break the shackles of the Spirit Ancestor as soon as possible and break the void and return to Nuwa Niangniang, you must help the master do more good deeds.

In its current state, there are very few opportunities to help its master. Although it is very detrimental to the face of the Heavenly God Stone to be used as bait for the owner to attract wild fish, it can be compared with speeding up the absorption of aura and returning to Nuwa Niangniang as soon as possible.

Yu Xiaocao had already prepared the rope when the small mending stone was entangled. Today, Brother Han promised to teach her to set a rope to catch rabbits. If you have the help of small rice balls, you will definitely not be disappointed every day.

[You want me to help you...... It's not impossible! The image of the little golden milk cat is still round and round in the air, and it is hanging its pointed little ears at this time, looking unwilling, [You have to go to the fishing valley every day to fetch water for me to bathe, where the water aura is more pure. 】

"Good! Deal!! Xiaocao reached out to touch it, the golden mini cat the size of a ping-pong ball, so cute that it melted your heart. But Xiao Mending Tianshi proudly stretched out a pair of bare wings from his back, flickered to avoid her caresses, and twisted his little head to the side to ignore her.

"Second sister! Why don't you call me? Almost overslept! Xiao Shi's clothes were dressed crookedly, he wiped his face indiscriminately, picked up a basket casually, and followed Yu Xiaocao out of the door.
