said that it was an apprenticeship ceremony, but in fact, it was just in front of the big guy, asking Yun Xue to kowtow to Old Man Dong three times. In fact, the main purpose is to let the big guy get to know Yunxue, and someone in the province will not be long-sighted and bullied him in the future.

Yun Xue knelt in front of the old man in an orderly manner, kowtowed three times, there was no tea in the mountain, Yun Xue brought a glass of wine, "Master, the disciple has toasted you." ”

The old man took the wine and drank it all with a smile. And then let the clouds and snow get up. "Okay, from now on, you will be the old man's disciple. In the future, the old man will naturally hand over your kung fu, and all kinds of skills, you have to be attentive, you know? ”

Yun Xue hurriedly nodded, "I've written it down." ”

At this time, the banquet was almost ready, and Qian Mingyuan asked the big guy to sit down. There are a lot of people today, and they can't sit in the house, so they let these guests from outside eat first, and the people of the original wooden gang will wait for the next batch.

There are not so many plates and bowls and other utensils on the mountain, they are all rented by Qian Mingyuan in the county seat. There are such shops in the county, which rent out all kinds of household goods. Because ordinary families cannot have so many plates and bowls, many families generally rent them in addition to borrowing from neighbors when they are doing happy events.

All the wine and food came up, and the big guy happily began to drink and eat. There were a few people who had to ask Yunxue to come over, saying that they wanted to toast Yunxue for a cup. "Come on, little brother of the Han family, old brother toasts you. If you want to say that you are lucky, it really makes the old brother envious. Old man Dong, that's this one in our mountain farm, you can make his old man take a fancy to it, it's really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. In the future, the brothers will be born, but don't forget these brothers in our mountain field. ”

There were people next to him who chimed in, and they all wanted to come and drink with Yun Xue. Over there, Old Man Dong didn't speak, just watched the big guy making a fuss there. These wooden handles in the mountain field are generally very bold Northeast men, if you want to win their trust and favor, you can't just rely on the prestige of the old man, and you have to have Yunxue herself to do it.

Yun Xue smiled, "Okay, since your uncles and brothers want to drink, the kid will definitely accompany you to the end." Boy Han Yu, today he was able to get Dong Laoqing's eyes and accept him as a disciple, and the kid was also very happy in his heart. Come, boys. With that, Yun Xue picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine directly from the bowl.

Yun Xue picked up the bowl, "Han Yu is here, thank you, do it first as a respect." So saying, he drank the bowl of wine. Fortunately, the wine at this time is not as strong as the liquor of later generations, and it can probably have more than ten degrees, which is nothing.

Yun Xue drank the wine in the bowl, turned the bowl side down, and let the big guy take a look, and sure enough, there was no trickle left.

"Okay, that's enough, gentlemen. Attaboy. "The big guy is really convinced now, and they all praise it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Han Yu is young and has a shallow amount of alcohol, so don't embarrass him. Come on, let's drink. Qian Mingyuan and Sun Changhai hurriedly played a round. Although Yun Xue was in this bowl of wine, her expression was normal, and she did not look abnormal at all. But they didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly maintained.

Old Man Dong was also very happy with Yun Xue's performance, and he couldn't stop nodding. "Okay, you drink slowly, my apprentice is a Sven, and he is different from you. It's good to be able to drink such a bowl. ”

These people hurriedly said yes, and everyone began to eat and drink lively. Just drinking like this is not lively, these men began to fight wine and fists, shouting five and six. For a while, there were all kinds of sounds in the room, and it was very lively.

Yun Xue stood beside Old Man Dong and poured wine for his master.

The old man looked at Yun Xue and smiled, "I didn't expect you to have such a good amount of wine." Okay, like a person in the wooden gang, with the demeanor of your father. ”

Yun Xue is a little strange, I heard Zhengsong say last time that the old man and his father seem to have a good relationship. "Master, are you quite familiar with my father?" Yun Xue wanted to know more about her father.

"Familiar, your father came to work in the mountain field at the age of fourteen. That's when I knew him. I used to teach him how to do it. He also came out, and in the second year, he put the water field into the row, and then went out to wander. I don't know if your dad told you? In fact, he also did some big things outside, but later because of some reasons, he couldn't stay outside. This led you back to your hometown, and then went back to work in the mountains. The old man couldn't help but think of the time when he got along with Han Yong.

At this time, Yun Xue was a little more curious about her father's past. However, he didn't ask any more, just poured wine for the old man, "Master, let's have another drink." ”

The people in the house drank wine for an hour, and then they went their own way. Next, there are these people in their own wooden gang, and they have a lot of celebrations.

When the banquet was over, Qian Mingyuan drank a little too much. He called Zheng Song, "Zheng Song, you and Han Yu are in a hurry to climb the plow." Go and send those two mothers-in-law, as well as the belongings we rented, back to the county seat. Uncle drank a little too much today. ”

Zheng Song hurriedly agreed, and then together with Yun Xue, he put things together, took the two mothers-in-law, and went to the county seat together.

The mountain field is quite far from the county seat, about more than 80 miles, fortunately it is a climbing plow, and it is not too slow to walk. An hour later, they arrived at the county seat. The two mothers-in-law had already received wages from Qian Mingyuan and went home happily. And Yun Xue and Zheng Song hurried to return their belongings to others.

When these things were done, the two of them hurried back. On the way, Zheng Song looked at Yun Xue, who looked as usual, and couldn't help laughing, "I really didn't expect it, Yun Xue's sister actually has a good amount of wine, and her face is not red when she drinks a big bowl of wine." ”

Yun Xue smiled, "Brother Zhengsong, you don't have to praise me, I'm still dizzy now." Who says I'm good at drinking? ”

"Alas, there are all big men in this mountain field, and it's really hard for you. But fortunately, now that Dong Lao is taking care of him, no one will doubt you in the mountain field in the future. Sister Yunxue, these jobs are not long-term plans after all. You are a woman's family, and you can't mix in a bunch of men all year round. Wait for the money to be earned, you might as well go home and live a good life. Masomatsu persuaded.

"Well, listening to Brother Zhengsong, I just want to make some money, and when the time comes, I can buy more than ten acres of land, and I can farm at home to live. When the time comes, raise a few more pigs and a dozen chickens, and those days will be enough. Yun Xue happily described the life of her dreams. She didn't get angry because of Masomatsu's words, and she didn't plan to do the work in the mountains for a long time. But it was Zhengsong's words that made her very heartwarming.

Zhengsong was also quite interested in what Yun Xue said, "Yes, that's what it looks like." My dad also said that he wanted to buy land and live a good life at home. But I also have a lot of children, and now the eldest sister has just gotten married, and there are three younger brothers in the family, a younger sister, and two younger brothers are still studying in the county, and they spend a lot of money. So my dad and I can't save much money at all. Alas, what we Mu said is very good, but how many of them can really leave the mountain field and finally live a stable life? Speaking of this, Masomatsu couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, since the day there was a wooden gang, countless wooden handles have been like clouds and snow. I fantasize that after making money, I can leave the mountain field and go home to live a good life. But life always has this and that helplessness, and in the end, some people spend their whole lives carrying wood on the mountains until they can't do it. There are also people like Yunxue's father, who eventually died in the rolling river.

Yun Xue doesn't know what the future looks like. However, she has always been optimistic, but she is not panicked. "What do you care about so much? As long as we want to live a good life. Unlike some people, when they earn money, they want to spend all their time drinking, and when they run out of money, they can only go back to the mountains to work. ”

Zhengsong nodded, "That's right, no matter what happens in the future, it's enough for us to just don't do those things that are losers." As he spoke, he shook the whip in his hand vigorously, and a whip flower was thrown in the air, and a sound exploded. The horse heard the movement of the whip, spread its hooves, and ran quickly. "Sister, sit tight, we have to go back quickly, it's getting dark."

By the time they returned to the mountain field, it was already the middle of the unitary time. These wooden handlers ate a lot at noon, and there was a lot of things left over at noon, so they came over to find something to eat when they were hungry, and that's it.

Yun Xue was afraid that Zhengsong would be hungry, and the kang also needed to be lit, so she burned some more food and ate some with Zhengsong.

Although a lot of people came today, everyone came with a lot of food, plus the ones that Qian Mingyuan bought, so there was a lot left. Yun Xue hurriedly cleaned up, took some meat and everything outside, and hung it on the eaves. There are often wild beasts outside, and it is safer to hang them up. There are also some cooked food and other things, Yunxue has also packed them up one by one and kept them for the old man to eat.

Zheng Song naturally helped Yun Xue finish the work together before going back to sleep. As soon as he returned to the house, he saw that the men in the house were all lying on the kang and sleeping. I drank too much alcohol during the day, and I haven't sobered up yet. Even Sun Changhai was the same, the snoring was earth-shattering.

Zhengsong tried it, but the kang was not too hot, so he had to go and light the two pots again, burn a stove fire, and then wash his feet and go to sleep.

After the apprenticeship, the mountain field returned to normal. Old Man Dong also began to teach Yun Xue kung fu, "Girl, your fist and foot kung fu is already good, this master will no longer teach you anything." What Master wants to teach you is the inner family's kung fu, nourishing qi and practicing qi, and if you learn these things well, you will benefit immensely in the future. ”
