Only Xiao Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this question, and he laughed unexpectedly.

"No one stipulates that if you become a student of my Xiao Rui, you must become an official in the future. Teacher, preach and teach to solve doubts. I only teach you to read and write, or martial arts, medical skills, etc., as long as you want to learn, as long as I will. As for what industry you want to work in in the future and what kind of person you want to become, it's up to you to decide. ”

Zhang's butcher's son was stunned and asked, "What about being a butcher?" Will it disgrace you? ”

Xiao Rui laughed even louder, "Why do you think that if you become a butcher, you will embarrass me?" ”

After all, the other party was still a child, and he couldn't answer this question for a while, so he lowered his head and shook it to indicate that he didn't know, or that everyone thought so that the butcher was looked down upon.

Of course, Xiao Rui understood this truth, so he patiently explained: "People are ugly and handsome, and things are expensive and cheap. But there is nothing wrong with the industry, it is just the means and skills for people to make a living. As long as you earn food by yourself, and don't steal or rob, you are a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and a person who lives well. ”

The shopkeeper next to him was excited, he had only heard of the champion Corporal Hou Lixian before, and he was friendly with people, but now he knew that the rumors were not enough for Hou Ye in case, Hou Ye really respected every person.

Zhang's butcher's son was also moved, but he was more puzzled, so he asked curiously: "Then why is my father looked down upon as a butcher?" ”

Xiao Rui: ......

This is a question that is really not easy to answer.

But don't answer, in the face of this child's expectant eyes, Xiao Rui couldn't bear to disappoint him.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Rui opened his mouth and said: "Have you ever doubted that outsiders question, criticize, and look down on your father, all of this is not because your father is wrong. Is it that outsiders are wrong? ”

"You're saying they shouldn't look at my father like that? But, but ...... A lot of people see it that way. ”

"Hahahaha, it must be right if there are a lot of people?" Xiao Rui laughed heartily, and his tone was full of ridicule of the ignorance of the world.

Shopkeeper Hu sighed: "Anyway, butchers are cheap industries, and they have been like this since ancient times. ”

Xiao Rui was even more disdainful, "It's always been like this, it must be right?" ”

Forehead......

Everyone present was stunned and had never thought about this question.

Xiao Rui smiled and asked a question to the son of a butcher Zhang, "If others laugh at you for being a butcher and you feel ashamed, then what should you do?" Others say that being an official is decent, so you go to study and seek an official? So what if everyone else says it's good to be an emperor? Are you going to be emperor? ”

This......

Who dares to answer this kind of question? I can't even think about it. Shopkeeper Hu's breathing became short, and his heart was in his throat.

Zhang Butcher's son was thoughtful, and after a while, he suddenly realized: "I understand, you mean that people should know what they need, not listen to outsiders' evaluations. ”

Xiao Rui patted his head and praised: "Yes, he is a smart child." Whether we read or kill pigs, it is for us to grow, as long as we know who we are, why bother what others say? ”

"The first lesson I taught you was: Don't live on other people's mouths."

The other man nodded heavily.

The shopkeeper next to him urged: "Child, what are you hesitating about?" Hou Ye gave you the first lesson, why don't you hurry up and call the teacher? ”

"Students meet their teachers. Please forgive the student for being rude, and wait for the recovery of his hands and feet, and then give the teacher a full salute. ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "You can have a heart, no need to be polite." Now that you've called the teacher, you should tell me your name, right? ”

Yes?

"Ahem, the student's name is Zhang Xiaojing."

Who?

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that it was not such a coincidence, this is a celebrity. The timeline is wrong, Zhang Xiaojing is the one who strangled Yang Guifei, and there is a difference of a hundred years from now, so it must be the same name.

"Hehe, it's a good name, it's loud. Since you want to be a butcher, then I have a set of techniques for solving the cow knife, which was passed down from the great master Ku Ding in the pre-Qin period. In the future, when your legs and feet are restored, I will pass them on to you. Hehe, your Xuantie kitchen knife is very extraordinary, it can't be said to be the thing of Master Ding thousands of years ago. One word, wonderful. ”

Cuding? Haven't heard of it......

And the dark iron kitchen knife? What blackiron kitchen knife?

The shopkeeper next to him explained again, and Zhang Xiaojing knew that so many things had happened.

"Thank you Shopkeeper Hu for saving ......"

"What do you call him?" Xiao Rui interrupted: "Although Shopkeeper Hu and your father don't move around much, and they don't even have a deep friendship. But the two sides have organized a fundraiser together, and the two of you have experienced a catastrophe together, and people have sacrificed their lives to save you. It's a friend of life and death. He called your father a brother Zhang, and you should call the shopkeeper Hu an uncle. ”

Shopkeeper Hu waved his hand again and again: "It's okay, it's okay to ......"

Zhang Xiaojing nodded heavily: "Uncle! When I was in Cui's house before, I was locked up with my younger brother, and we were good playmates. It's a pity that my uncle and younger brother were poisoned......"

Off?

Hearing that someone mentioned his murdered young son, Shopkeeper Hu couldn't hold back anymore, and couldn't help but cry.

"Teacher, can you leave your uncle behind, our two families are in this great disaster, and there are only two of us left. I want to ......"

Xiao Rui smiled and nodded: "Count your kid as having a conscience." When I heal your hands and feet, you will learn your skills well, and you will be filial to Shopkeeper Hu in the future. ”

Well!

"No, no...... I ......" shopkeeper Hu waved his hand movingly.

Xiao Rui grabbed his arm and said: "This child has suddenly suffered a great disaster, and there are no relatives around him, I will arrange a small courtyard for you in Xiaojiazhuang, first, it is convenient for him to treat his injuries, and secondly, it will be convenient for him to study in the future." The child calls you uncle, and it is fate that the two of you depend on each other, and I, as a teacher, may not have much time to take care of it from time to time, and I have to bother you to help me. ”

Shopkeeper Hu was moved to kneel on his knees and was about to kowtow, Xiao Rui hurriedly helped him up, "No need to do this, you will be from Xiaojiazhuang in the future." In the future, Xiao Jing will be cured, and he will stay to study, since you have experience in business, I am ready to arrange to work in the Xiao Family Chamber of Commerce, what do you think? ”

Shopkeeper Hu wiped away his tears and nodded heavily: "In the future, Hu Sanquan's life will be yours from Hou Ye, and it will all depend on Hou Ye's arrangement." ”

"Master Hou, what do you need to treat Xiao Jing's injuries? The subordinates will go and prepare. ”

is worthy of being a businessman, very good at talking, the implication is that everyone stop talking, hurry up and heal the child.

Xiao Rui didn't poke it either, and laughed: "You don't need to prepare anything, I have all the medicine here." You need to be prepared to take care of you day and night. ”

"Xiao Jing, are you afraid of pain?"

Zhang Xiaojing shook his head: "Don't be afraid!" When they threatened my father with my life, I wasn't afraid, so I wasn't afraid of pain. ”

"Okay, there is the wind of the father!"

"Teacher, I'...... I ......"

"What? Something? ”

"Can I learn from you?"

"Oh? Aren't you going to be a butcher? Why did you suddenly change your language? Xiao Rui was puzzled.

Zhang Xiaojing blushed and twisted: "My father wants me to study Chinese." I just said that I was a butcher, but I just wanted to ......"

"Good boy, are you still tempting me? Take me as a butcher to test me? Xiao Rui scolded with a smile and stretched out his hand to give a tremor.

"As I said, as long as I will, I can learn whatever I want. Whether you will be an official or a butcher in the future, it's up to you, as long as you stand up to the sky in the future. ”

"Some people say that reading is for enlightenment, and some people say that reading is for reason? Hehe, it's not that complicated, reading is just a means. The purpose of reading is to achieve ourselves, and it is just a skill for us to achieve what we want. ”

"Reading may be for the sake of knowledge, but for what is the purpose of seeking knowledge? In the end, it's about making us grow on our own, that's all. ”

"If you study for the sake of studying, or study for the sake of promotion and wealth, you will fall behind, and you will end up with your roots."

"If life is a practice, then reading is just one of the means of cultivation, and the means of cultivation may not be the only means of studying, so why not practice in life? Your father doesn't know a single word, and he kills pigs every day to support his family, and he is also cultivating, and he is quite accomplished, and he is clearer than most ignorant people in the world. ”

Zhang Xiaojing didn't seem to understand it, and the shopkeeper next to him was also thoughtful......

Xiao Rui's thinking is very different from universal values, so it is difficult for them to accept it at once.
