In fact, suddenly a stranger joined his life, Zi Baifeng was also a little uncomfortable, and the other party was still a stuffy gourd with few words, but he knew that this would be his brother in the future, so he tried his best to talk to the other party, and with the pistachio of the small stone, several people quickly became familiar with it.
Erhei is very diligent, busy cleaning up and washing after dinner, and after washing, he goes to brush the donkey and sweep the yard, and wraps up all the work at home.
As soon as he finished eating, someone came to ask Zijian to go to the mill, and Erhei was washing it, listening with his ears pricked up for a while, put down the work in his hand, and said, "Uncle Zi, sit down first, I'll take a look." ”
Zijian thought about it, then nodded in permission.
After more than half an hour, Erhei came back wet and smiling, obviously repaired.
Zi Baifeng suddenly felt relieved that his father's apprentice was not in vain!
Early the next morning, Yan Lao Wu came to Zi's house, and brought a group of people, and began to look around in Zi Baifeng's blank gaze.
"What is this for?" Zi Baifeng looked at the momentum, a little strange.
"Open the incense hall, apprentice. Yan Lao Wu waved his hand, "Don't get in the way here, go and go." ”
Zi Baifeng, who made a mess, was pushed aside.
Zi Baifeng looked at it for a while, felt bored, and planned to go to the private school for a while, but was stopped by Yan Lao Wu and said, "Don't go, there will be your business in a while." ”
"My father accepts apprentices, so I don't have anything to do. Zi Baifeng's eyes widened.
"It's none of your business's business for your father to accept apprentices, but as a parent official in Xiayan Village, it's your business. Yan Lao Wu also stared.
"Alas, it turns out that I am still a parent official, and I have no status at all, and I come and go as soon as I am called. Zibai was sour, Yan Lao Wu ignored him, just dragged him and didn't let him go.
Zi Baifeng looked at it with peace of mind.
After more than half an hour, the incense hall was arranged, there were incense cases, there were all kinds of sacrifices, and then Zi Jian cherished and invited out the tablet of their carpenter's ancestor from the room, and placed it in the center, Yan Lao Wu looked at the sky, and said loudly: "The auspicious time has come!"
Do you want to worship heaven and earth? Zibai had a bad chill in the wind. I'm going to worship you dead old man......
Fortunately, there is not such a strange development, first Zijian worshiped the ancestor and explained the situation to the grandfather, and Zijian accepted the apprentices today.
Then, Zijian sat down on the chair in front of the ancestral tablet, Erhei stepped forward and knelt down, and offered the apprenticeship with both hands, this red envelope was given to him by Zijian last night, and he handed it back today.
The apprenticeship ceremony was delivered, and Zijian began to recite the craftsman's dogma, which was nothing more than working carefully, being honest, respecting the teacher, etc., and recited for a long time, Erhei knelt down and repeated it again, and then Erhei took out a bench and put it at Zijian's feet.
This bench was made overnight after Erhei came back last night, although Zijian said that it would be okay to do whatever it wanted, but when Zibaifeng got up in the morning, he saw that Erhei was still polishing.
The bench is not painted, but it is polished very smoothly and the handiwork is very good, much better than Edison's small bench.
Zijian put his foot on the bench, which is also a saying, similar to kneeling, which means that Zijian promised to treat Erhei like his own child.
Then Erhei knelt down and bowed three times and nine times, until Zijian said something, then he raised his head and shouted: "Master!"
This sound of the master was full of anger, and the mountains and rocks were ringing, Zijian was also extremely happy, and agreed loudly, and laughed.
Yan Lao Wu also smiled, holding a red envelope in his hand, stepped forward, and said, "Congratulations, congratulations!"
As he spoke, he handed the red envelope to Erhei, which was regarded as a welcome to Erhei on behalf of Xiayan Village, and it was also a congratulatory gift.
Then Yan Lao Wu turned around and looked at Zi Baifeng: "Where's the red envelope?"
Your sister's Yan Lao Wu, you old man who is disrespectful to the old and bad for the old man! Why didn't you say you wanted a red envelope earlier!
Zi Baifeng hurriedly touched his body.
"No, no need to ......" Erhei waved his hand in panic.
"No, no, no!" Fortunately, Zi Baifeng still had some money on him, and he couldn't find the red envelope anyway, so he stuffed it directly into Erhei's hand.
Erhei didn't dare to take it, nor did he dare to push, so he could only look at the master, Zijian smiled and said, "Give it to you, you can accept it." ”
Erhei said something and accepted it.
Other people who watched the ceremony also sent congratulatory gifts, which was more or less, but Zijian's popularity in the village was good, and everyone wanted to sell Zi Baifeng a face, this gift was not light, and it didn't take long for Erhei's hands to be full.
"Master......" Erhei didn't expect him to be so popular.
"Keep it. Zijian waved his hand magnificently, but when it came time to count the gifts later, Zijian was a little toothy, although accepting apprentices was not inferior to marrying, but everyone was too loving.
After Zijian accepted the apprentices, a few more tables of banquets were set up at noon, and everyone laughed until the afternoon, and then dispersed.
This pomp and circumstance was much more than Erhei imagined, and he was a little uneasy.
When everyone was gone, Erhei looked at Zijian and muttered what he wanted to say.
"Okay, we'll be a family from now on. Zijian patted him and said, "Study hard, and there will be a craft that you can master in the future...... Well, Bai Feng. ”
Bai Fengzheng and Xiao Shi didn't have any sense of work, and they were squatting together to tease the puppy at this time, and they raised their heads when they heard the words.
"Bai Feng, in the future, I will learn carpenter from me for half a day, and I will read and read with you for half a day. Zijian said, this is not a discussion, but a blunt statement.
"Good. Zi Baifeng couldn't help but look at Erhei again, his father was really attentive to him, if it wasn't for the fact that this Erhei itself was worthy of being treated like this, it was that his father and his father's friendship was really good.
"Master, I ......" Erhei is even more cramped, he just came to be an apprentice to learn carpenter, to tell the truth, the status of a carpenter and the status of a scholar are far apart, and Zi Baifeng's reputation spreads far and wide, who in the whole Mengcheng does not know the way, only to learn first-class, such a person teaches himself...... This, my own blunt qualifications, my own elm head......
In fact, Zijian didn't expect Erhei to become a talent, he accepted apprentices for himself, but not for himself, but Zijian himself was literate and literate, and he knew that a carpenter who could read and write was different from a carpenter who only relied on experience.
He really wanted to cultivate Erhei.
"Good job. Zijian patted Erhei on the shoulder.
"Yes, Master!" replied Erhei loudly, and quickly cleaned up the yard.
With the addition of Erhei, Zijian is a lot more leisurely, he doesn't have to be busy all day, and he can occasionally be idle and watch Erhei work on the side. The matter of repairing the mill is basically out of the way. Erhei's hands and feet are diligent, honest and simple, almost all the work at home is covered, and he is working when he opens his eyes. Zijian really treats him as his own child, he gives Erhei some silver money every month, not much, not wages, it is pocket money, not to let Erhei have money, sometimes he does half a day's work, he sends Erhei out of his hand, let him go shopping and play, and after a while, Erhei is familiar with the young people in the village.
"Dad, Erhei's pocket money is more than mine!" Zi Baifeng complained like this, and Zijian drove him away: "Go! Play with the little stone! No work, no money!"
There have been a lot of things that have happened these days, but in fact, it has only been less than a month since Zi Baifeng planned to build the mill.
Zi Baifeng was busy with the affairs of the village, and he did not forget the affairs of Mengcheng, and he was also secretly preparing some things, but he prepared them in the study of the private school, and never brought them to the house.
On this day, Zi Baifeng was calculating the accounts in the study, and the abacus in his hand crackled by himself, and he heard Erhei's voice outside: "Baifeng, come quickly!"
Zi Baifeng was startled, could it be that something had happened to his father? He hurriedly ran out of the city and ran all the way home, and when he saw his father, he was relieved and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Uncle Zhu is injured. Daddy's face was gloomy, Zi Baifeng walked in, and saw that Yan Lao Wu was also there, helping the pillar to apply medicine, the upper body of the pillar was covered with blood, and his face was a little pale.
"Uncle Zhuzi, what's wrong?Who hurt you?" Zi Baifeng's eyes widened, and he was furious, he recognized it at a glance, the wound on Zhuzi's shoulder was a knife wound, and no beast would bite it so well.
After listening to the pillar's story, Zi Baifeng suddenly snorted angrily and said, "These robbers, who have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall, actually provoked me!"
"Don't be angry, I'm fine, it's fine in two days, and I haven't lost any money, but it's the bandit leader who almost made me cut off my head. The pillar smiled, he really didn't suffer.
"Don't be pushy. Yan Lao Wu stretched out his hand and pressed on his knife wound, and suddenly the pillar was so painful that he bared his teeth and couldn't speak.
"If you meet again in the future, don't be reckless, they are all outlaws, and they can't fight hard, and it's just a little money, if they rob it, they will rob it, and let them return all the money anyway. Zijian told him that he had already passed the age of fighting bravely, and Zhuzi was an unmarried older young man, and his anger was too strong.
"Did you hear what your brother said?" Yan Lao Wu saw that the pillar was silent, and pressed on the wound again.
"Ouch!" the pillar screamed in pain again, and hurriedly said: "I know the way, I know the way!"
"These robbers are becoming more and more arrogant. Zijian frowned, in fact, robbers are not a new thing, when Luo Qianshan escorted them back, he had cut a few, but he didn't expect these guys to resurgence again.
And they are also eyeing the villagers of Xiayan Village, which is even more troublesome.
"When I go to Mongolia in the future, I will bring bows and arrows and hunting knives. Yan Lao Wu frowned and said, many of the villagers in Xiayan Village are hunters, but the knives are cumbersome, and they are reluctant to carry them, but fortunately, the pillar always carries a scimitar with him. The robbers are all bullies who are afraid of the hard, and when they see that the villagers are carrying weapons, they probably don't dare to come.
"Hmph, these little thieves, if I had brought my bow and arrows, how could they have a chance to get close, one arrow at a time, they would have been shot a long time ago!" The pillar snorted, seeing Yan Lao Wu glaring again, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't press!
