Speaking of this is the twenty-first lang of the Wang family, five years old this year, and the fourteenth lang is his own brother, twelve years old this year, a few days ago his mother carried three kinds of meat, chicken, fish and snacks to the carpenter on the next street to the apprentice.

A few days ago, I was happy to go back, but when I came back yesterday, I cried and said I didn't want to go, it was dirty and tired, and the master was also very fierce.

His mother has always been gentle and gentle, but she is not relaxed at all in this matter, today the fourteenth brother does not want to go, the mother and the seventh brother took him to go, and when he arrived at the carpenter, he had to apologize and say that the child was not sensible, and the master was trained although.

"Isn't everyone going to various shops and restaurants to be apprentices, why does your mother think of sending them to learn carpenter?" Zhao Xiaolang held his chin and said, "I know, your mother took a fancy to the daughter of a carpenter, and wanted your brother to marry her, so she specially sent her to her house to be an apprentice." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hu Niu raised her fist, "You mess with the little lady of the family, do you want to be beaten?" ”

Gan Xiaotang also understood the cause of the matter on the side, if the young people in the city do not have a family business to inherit, they will be sent out to be apprentices at the age of eleven or twelve, and the most is to be apprentices in various shops.

The Wang family is also a big family in Ruyi Fang, this big family is the meaning of many people, the Wang family A Weng is doing silk trading, gave birth to six sons and two daughters, six sons and a total of more than 20 grandchildren, all live together, outsiders say a lively, in fact, so many people live together and how can there be no friction.

Last time, the Bai family wanted to sell the house, Wang Aweng was annoyed when he found out, he also wanted to buy the house, but unfortunately he was a step too late to let the Gan family exchange a house for a house, he didn't know that the Bai family's sale of the house was deliberately hidden from his son and daughter-in-law below.

In addition to the youngest son, he still wants to live next to his father, the eldest son, the second, third, fourth and fifth sons in the middle all want to live separately, and they don't want Wang Aweng to buy a house in Ruyifang to expand, but hope to buy a few more properties to live separately.

The six sons of the Wang family all followed Ah Weng to do silk trading, and the grandchildren, except for the eldest grandson, also followed the village to collect silk, and the rest of the children were arranged by their respective mothers to learn other livelihoods.

There are only so many shops in the city, and there are only so many apprentices needed, and every year there are many boys who are old enough to be apprentices.

"If you want me to say, learning a craft is no worse than being a buddy." Yu Shilang said, "When you finish your studies, you can accept apprentices, and how many of you can become shopkeepers?" ”

"I only learned the ability to speak, and in the end, I didn't have to pick up the goods and sell them everywhere."

"If only I were a little lady." Zhao Xiaolang joked, "In this way, I don't have to worry about what I will learn and do when I grow up, I will only get married when I am old, and others will take care of my food and drink." ”

"That's disgusting." Gan Xiaotang said, "What kind of light work do you have to marry? ”

"I'd rather be like a man and support my family than have only one way to get married in my life."

"It's a good thing to say, your eldest brother would rather sell vegetables along the street than learn to kill pigs from your father, you want to stand up to the sky, do you want to kill pigs with your father?" Zhao Xiaolang clapped his hands and said, "The little lady of the butcher's family is different from others, others eat meat and you kill pigs." ”

Gan Zizai felt that what he said was not a good thing, so he clenched his fists and was about to go up and beat him, but was stopped by Gan Xiaotang, "What are you doing to beat him?" He just wants to kill pigs and no one has taught him yet. ”

"What happened to the butcher? Can he have meat to eat without a butcher? Eat grass all day and sooner or later turn into a big rabbit. Gan Xiaotang made a big grimace at Zhao Xiaolang, and a few people played for a while, and then went back to their respective homes.

When a few years old children talk about their future livelihoods, they are just parroting, and they will forget it after a while, Gan Xiaotang looked at Gan Zizi and worried, what can I do after twelve?

Don't want him to be an apprentice?

She counted on her fingers, the eldest brother has his own career (running errands and delivering vegetables), the second brother also has his own career (running business), and the third brother's career is unknown for the time being, but he can go back to the village to grow vegetables, and he can tinker with all kinds of useful things, and it is enough to drum one out from time to time.

The fourth brother is now in the second uncle's restaurant, Gan Xiaotang pulled Yuan Niang's sleeve, "Yuan Niang, is the fourth brother also an apprentice in the restaurant?" ”

Yuan Niang smiled, "The restaurant belongs to Shiro's father, Shiro is not an apprentice in the restaurant, but a young shopkeeper." ”

Gan Xiaotang nodded, "The sons of the second uncle are all young shopkeepers, so many shopkeepers, there is only one restaurant, so who will listen to in the end?" ”

Yuan Niang shouldn't have answered this remark, so Yuan Niang only said, "Now Liulang and Hachiro can't see their preferences, what if they are like Erlang and don't like to do restaurant work?" Of the remaining ten, twelve is even smaller. When they all grow up, maybe your second uncle will have more than this one restaurant. ”

Gan Xiaotang asked again, "Then if the sixth brother and starling don't like to make a restaurant and a few showcases, then what are they going to do?" ”

"I'm just making an analogy, but I didn't say they don't necessarily like going to restaurants." Yuan Niang hurriedly said, "I don't know what to do now, but they can learn to kill pigs from your father, or learn to make shop showcases from your uncle, or they want to make other livelihoods." ”

Gan Xiaotang nodded thoughtfully.

When Zou Xiaoxi washed her feet that night, she asked Zou Xiaoxi, "Mother, what will my brothers do when they grow up?" ”

"Why do you suddenly care about this?" Zou Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.

"When I was playing in the market today, I heard Wang Wang say that his fourteenth brother was sent to learn carpentry." Gan Xiaotang said, "Will my brother also learn carpentry?" ”

"It depends on whether they like it or not, and now I can't see who likes it." Zou Xiaoxi said, "Your third brother seems to be very good at this, but your father said that he would send him to learn carpenter, but he refused." ”

"The third brother is so smart, he can be a good carpenter without learning." Gan Xiaotang defended the third brother.

"The third brother is messing around with you, you like him, don't you?" Zou Xiaoxi said with a smile, "The family doesn't need them to make money to support the family, so they can do whatever they want, as long as they are happy." ”

"Wang Jiashilang is a quiet and honest character, her mother is worried that he will be bullied when he goes to a shop and restaurant as an apprentice, so she simply sent him to learn carpenter, Zeng Carpenter is a good master, he will not deliberately grind his apprentices, even if he is stricter, it is also good for his apprentices." Zou Xiaoxi said that the two most populous families in Ruyifang are the Ganwang family.

The Wang family's Ah Weng is actually very good at making money, and he also supports such a family by buying and selling silk, but the family lives every day, and the women of that family are tired when they come out.

Zou Xiaoxi knows that Ah Weng and Xiang Gong are both people who like to be lively, and they like their children and grandchildren to be in front of them, but now the children are still young, and when the eleven children get married and have children in the future, the number of people in the family has doubled, and I don't know if there is such harmony.

She and Tang Qian'er only have two concubines, and her mother-in-law makes up for them with a bowl of water, and Tang Qian'er is full of energy, so she will let it go, and she has been affectionate for so many years.

But when it was her turn, there were five daughters-in-law and six nephews, although she had a scale in her heart to choose a daughter-in-law, but who could guarantee that she would not look away. If the daughter-in-law is good, the family can be harmonious.

Speaking of the future, Zou Xiaoxiao thought of getting married, she was more concerned about the children's marriage than the future of the children, Gan Xiaotang watched her wander, so she stretched out her feet and pulled in the basin.

Zou Xiaoxi put away her mind and wiped her feet with a handkerchief, "By the way, who is Wang Wang?" ”

"King twenty-one, isn't twenty-one the king?" Gan Xiaotang gestured to her.

Zou Xiaoxi laughed, "Let your third brother teach you to read and write, and you can only recognize a few words and give people nicknames?" ”
