Chapter 10: Domineering Master
Mu Qiang paused abruptly and looked at the middle-aged couple who spoke, "You say Jiang Bao's family, whose Jiang Bao's family?" ”
The middle-aged woman was amused, "Master Mu, it's your apprentice, Jiang Baojia." ”
“……”
As soon as Jiang Bao's family came to Master Mu's house today, they found that the atmosphere was very wrong, Master used to always build a cup of fragrant tea, but today, he sat in the shadow, did not move, lowered his head, and his face was as black as a god.
He didn't make a sound, picked up the planer and continued yesterday's work, with a loud "pop", Mu Qiang directly broke the wooden board in his hand, which startled Jiang Baojia.
"How can you secretly do carpentry work and sell it yourself?" Mu Qiang's face turned purple, his expression was fierce and hideous, locking on Jiang Baojia, and the green tendons on his forehead were curled.
Jiang Baojia thought for a while, and said stubbornly, "Master, didn't you say that my level is not good, and I have to practice diligently?" ”
Mu Qiang took a few deep breaths and struggled to calm down, "Yes, the practice is right, but you should leave all the work you practice to me." ”
Jiang Baojia looked at him suspiciously, Mu Qiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and the lie came easily, "Silly boy, you are not deeply involved in the world, and you don't understand the stakes at all." ”
He excitedly clasped Jiang Baojia's rough hand on his hand, "You sell things yourself, without being reinforced by the master, you are not afraid that the stool you made will fall on people?" Can you afford it? The things you make are shoddy, and the people in the bazaar don't know who you are, and if something goes wrong, your reputation will be ruined. ”
Jiang Baojia frowned.
For the first time, I had doubts about Master's words, was what he was doing really that unbearable?
Yesterday, my sister said while selling goods, "Big brother, there are many experts in this bazaar, they all say that you are good at workmanship, shop around, and are willing to pay more money for your carpentry work, no one is stupid and has a lot of money, this proves that it is worth it......"
Although he has always respected this master, what his sister said is very reasonable, and he himself has eyes to see and ears to hear.
Sister Yi's face shook in front of him, Jiang Baojia's heart has been very messy today, probably because of his sister's praise yesterday that gave him courage, "Master, when will I be able to become a teacher?" "Only after making money can he save the dowry, otherwise he has been hanging his heart, and he doesn't dare to make any guarantees with Sister Laiyi.
Facing Jiang Baojia's firm question, Mu Qiang was completely dumbfounded.
What's wrong with Jiang Bao's family today?
"You haven't learned the basic skills solidly, so your wings are stiff, and you want to become a teacher?"
Jiang Baojia's eyes were sour, "Master, I'm not too young, maybe...... Maybe there will be a girl you like soon. I can't afford to pay a dowry......"
"Bao Jia, Master usually takes you well, right? Master has taught you everything he has learned all his life. Whose girl do you want to marry, and Master can stand by and watch? Mu Qiang coughed lightly, "Then again, do you have a crush on any girl?" Don't be embarrassed, just tell Master, Master will help you get hired. ”
"I didn't ...... There is no ......"
Jiang Baojia didn't dare to say it, if he didn't have full confidence, he was afraid that if he said it, it would be impossible to be with Laiyi's sister at that time.
Mu Qiang said yes, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
Wang Cuihua, who always came to Jiang Bao's family, said that it was his neighbor, and it wouldn't cost much to marry her, right?
Although he has made a lot of money from Jiang Bao's family over the years, it is impossible for him to give him too many dowries.
He's just his master, not his father.
-
"Big brother!" Jiang Ning jumped lightly and jumped in front of Jiang Bao's house.
At the age of sixteen, he is full of vitality.
"Hmm." Jiang Baojia lowered his head and stared at his toes with empty eyes.
On the one hand, there is a master who taught him a lot, and on the other hand, there is the girl he wants to marry, and he doesn't know what to do.
Jiang Ning frowned, the eldest brother was in a bad mood.
This is not good, it must be something that his bad master said.
I finally helped my eldest brother regain a little confidence, but he couldn't be destroyed by the bad master all of a sudden, and he regressed not as much as before, right?
"Big brother, it's still early, let's go out for a walk."
"......" Jiang Baojia's refusal just slipped to his lips, and met Jiang Ning Xingliang's eyes, "Okay." ”
"Call Sister Yi along."
"This ......"
Jiang Ning concocted it in the same way, she found that it was also good for her eldest brother to be soft-hearted, and he couldn't refuse any request, as long as she put on a "please, please" look.
That made her plan a lot easier, and sure enough, "Okay." ”
Jiang Ning knew that she must be a light bulb this time, but she didn't want her to be a light bulb, "Da Wang, let's go!" ”
A big brown and yellow dog lay on the spot, lazily lifting its eyelids, and did not move.
Jiang Ning was stunned, she couldn't call a dog, which was embarrassing.
Jiang Baojia suddenly smiled, "It's not familiar with you, come, I'll call Da Wang." ”
"No, you don't." Jiang Ning frowned, she is a Chinese who has to be strong in her life.
[Da Wang, can't you give me a little face? Why don't you wait to eat and give you a little bit of meat and bones? 】
Da Wang suddenly supported his front legs, stood up lazily, walked to her side, attached to her, and looked up at the dog's head.
The eyes were very arrogant, as if to warn her about something.
Jiang Ning: "??? ”
She didn't say anything, did she?
Jiang Baojia was surprised, "Sister, you are really amazing, you don't say anything good in this family, you can call it away with a look, only our dad is the only one, and our mother doesn't have the ability!" ”
Last year, Dawang was still a milk dog, thrown on the side of the road, drenched in the rain, dying, and was picked up by Jiang's father Jiang Jianwei, wrapped it in a coat, and drenched himself.
So in this family, it listens to Jiang's dad the most!
The Liu family has a small orchard, and it is summer, and there are many seasonal fruits ripe, and the vines wind across the shelves, and many bright purple grapes hang from them.
Jiang Baojia saw that Liu Laiyi had been dancing for a long time, but he couldn't pick the fruit, and smiled, "Sister Laiyi, I'll pick it for you." ”
He was very tall, standing next to Liu Laiyi, forming a perfect height difference, Liu Laiyi didn't reach his chest, so he saw his hand lightly raised, so he picked the red fruit and handed it to Liu Laiyi.
"Thank you...... Thank you, Brother Baojia. Liu Laiyi held a fruit bigger than her palm, and her face was more ruddy than the fruit.
Jiang Ning was on the side: Yo, what about the time when the eldest brother has such a black belly? I found out that Sister Lai Yi couldn't reach it early in the morning, and deliberately watched it for a while before helping.
But Sister Laiyi is really a good medicine to cure the eldest brother, the eldest brother written in the book is so miserable, he was calculated to get married, and lived a terrible life.
If he can marry Liu Laiyi, his life will be very happy, right?
Jiang Ning tilted his head and couldn't help but smile as he looked at them.
At this time, something touched her leg, and she lowered her head, "What a big melon." ”
Dawang was next to him, Jiang Ning was surprised and delighted, "You invite me to eat melons?" ”
Dawang looked at her, as if rolling his eyes.
“……”
"Oh, you want me to open it for you."
