In fact, a stranger suddenly joined his life, and Zi Baifeng felt a little uncomfortable, and the other person was still a boring gourd who didn't talk much. However, he knew that this would be his brother in the future, so he tried his best to talk to the other person. And with the pistachio Xiao Shitou, several people quickly became familiar with it. Erhei is very diligent. He was busy cleaning and cleaning after dinner. After washing, he went to clean the donkey and sweep the yard, taking care of all the work at home. Just after dinner, someone came to ask Zijian to repair the mill. Erhei was washing clothes. He listened for a while, put down his work, and said: "Uncle Zi, please sit down first, I'll go take a look." ." Zijian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. More than half an hour later, Erhei came back wet and smiling, obviously it was repaired. Zi Baifeng suddenly felt relieved that his father¡¯s apprenticeship was not in vain! Early the next morning, Yan Laowu came to Zi's house and brought a group of people with him. Under Zi Baifeng's blank eyes, he started to organize things. "What is this for?" Zi Baifeng looked at that posture, a little strange. "Open the incense hall and become a disciple." Yan Laowu waved his big hand, "Don't get in the way here, go and go." Zi Baifeng, who was causing trouble, was pushed aside. Zi Baifeng watched for a while and felt bored. He planned to go to a private school for a while, but was pulled back by Yan Laowu, saying: "Don't leave, we will have your business later." "My father accepts apprentices, no. What's wrong with me?" Zi Baifeng's eyes widened. "It's none of your business if your father accepts a disciple, but as the parent officer of Xiayan Village, it's your business." Yan Laowu also glared. "Alas, it turns out that I am still an official of my parents. I have no status at all. I can come and go as soon as I am called upon." Zi Baifeng looked sour. Yan Laowu ignored him and just dragged him and refused to let him go. Zi Baifeng watched with peace of mind. More than half an hour later, the incense hall was decorated, with incense tables and various sacrifices. Then Zi Jian took out the memorial tablet of their carpenter's ancestor from the room with great care and placed it in the center. Wu looked at the sky and said loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived!" Do you want to worship the heaven and the earth? Zi Baifeng felt a chill. I want to worship you, you dead old man Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t such a weird development. First, Zijian worshiped the Patriarch, and informed the Patriarch of the situation, and Zijian accepted his disciple today. Then, Zijian sat down on the chair in front of the memorial tablet of his ancestor. Erhei came forward and knelt down, offering the apprenticeship ceremony with both hands. This red envelope was given to him by Zijian last night and was handed back today. After the apprenticeship ceremony was presented, Zijian began to recite the many creeds of craftsmen, which include working carefully, being honest, respecting teachers, and so on. After reciting for a long time, Erhei knelt down and repeated it again, and then Erhei took out another bench and placed it at Zijian's feet. This bench was made overnight after Erhei came back last night. Although Zijian said that it would be fine if he wanted to, when Zi Baifeng got up in the morning, he saw that Erhei was still polishing it. The bench is not painted, but it is polished very smooth and the workmanship is very good. It is much better than that little Edison bench. Zijian put his feet on the bench. There is another saying for this, which is similar to kneeling down. It means that Zijian promised to treat Erhei like his own child. Then Erhei knelt down and bowed three times and kowtowed, until Zijian started to say something, then he raised his head and shouted: "Master!" The master was so angry that the rocks were shaking, and Zijian was extremely happy. , agreed loudly, and laughed. Yan Laowu also laughed loudly, holding a red envelope in his hand, walked forward and said: "Congratulations, congratulations!" With that, he handed the red envelope to Erhei again, which was a token of appreciation for Erhei on behalf of Xiayan Village. Welcome is also a gift. Then Yan Laowu turned to look at Zi Baifeng: "Where is the red envelope?" Red envelope? Your sister, Yan Laowu, you are a rotten old man who is disrespectful and disrespectful! Why didn't you say you wanted a red envelope earlier! Zi Baifeng quickly touched his body. "No, no need" Erhei waved his hands in panic. "It doesn't matter if you don't use it!" Fortunately, Zi Baifeng still had some money on him. He couldn't find the red envelope anyway, so he stuffed it directly into Er Hei's hand. Erhei didn't dare to pick it up or push it away. He could only look at the master. Zijian smiled and said, "Just take it." Then Erhei said something quietly and took it. Everyone else who was watching the ceremony also sent congratulatory gifts, which were plentiful, but Zijian was very popular in the village, and everyone wanted to give Zijian Baifeng face, so the gift was not light, and after a while Erhei's hand was full. "Master" Erhei didn't expect to be so popular. "Keep it." Zijian waved his hand grandly, but when he counted the gifts later, Zijian felt a little embarrassed. Although accepting a disciple was an important event no less important than getting married, everyone was really too loving. After Zijian accepted his disciples, a few more banquet tables were set up at noon, and everyone laughed and laughed until the afternoon before they dispersed. This scene was much bigger than Erhei had imagined, and he felt a little uneasy. When everyone left, Erhei looked at Zijian and mumbled what he wanted to say. "Okay, we will be a family from now on." Zijian patted him and said, "Study hard and you will have a skill that you can use in the future Well, Bo Feng." Both Bo Fengzheng and Xiao Shitou were both He didn't have the consciousness to work. At this time, he was squatting together playing with the puppy. He raised his head after hearing this. "Bai Feng, from now on I will spend half the day learning carpentry with you, and half the day I will learn how to read and write with you." Zijian said, this is not a discussion, but a blunt statement. "Okay." Zi Baifeng couldn't help but look at Erhei again. His father was really attentive to him. If it wasn't that Erhei himself deserved such treatment, it was because the relationship between his father and his father was really good. good. "Master, I" Erhei was even more embarrassed. He just came to be an apprentice to learn carpentry. To be honest, there is a huge difference between the status of a carpenter and that of a scholar. Zi Baifeng's reputation spread far and wide, and no one in Mengcheng didn't know it. , only a first-class scholar, such a person teaches himself This, his dull qualifications, his stupid head In fact, Zijian did not expect Erhei to become a scholar. He recruited apprentices for himself, but not for himself. However, Zijian himself could read and write. He knew that there was a difference between a carpenter who could read and write and a carpenter who only relied on experience. He really wants to train Erhei. "Do a good job." Zijian patted Erhei on the shoulder. "Yes, Master!" Erhei replied loudly and quickly went to clean up the yard. With the addition of Erhei, Zijian is much more free. He doesn't have to be busy all day long. He can occasionally take some time off and watch Erhei work. The matter of repairing the mill is basically out of the question. Erhei is hard-working, honest and simple, and does almost all the work at home. He works as soon as he opens his eyes. Zijian really regarded him as his own child. He gave Erhei some money every month. It was not much, not salary, but pocket money. He did not let Erhei be short of money. Sometimes he would send Erhei away after working for half a day. He went out and let him hang out, and soon Erhei became familiar with the young people in the village. "Dad, Erhei has more pocket money than me!" Zi Baifeng complained, and Zijian chased him away: "Go and play with the little stone! If you don't work, you won't have money!" What happened these days? There are many things going on, but in fact, only about twenty days and less than a month have passed since Zi Baifeng planned to build the mill. While Zi Baifeng was busy with things in the village, he did not forget what was happening in Mengcheng. He was also secretly preparing some things, but he prepared them in the study room of his private school and never brought them home. On this day, Zi Baifeng was calculating accounts in the study. The abacus in his hand was clicking loudly when he heard Erhei's voice coming from outside: "Bai Feng, come quickly!" Zi Baifeng was startled. Could it be that What happened to dad? He hurriedly ran out and ran all the way home. Only when he saw his father did he feel relieved and asked, "What's going on?" "Your Uncle Zhuzhu was injured." His father looked gloomy. Zi Baifeng walked in and saw Yan Laowu was also there, applying medicine to Zhu Zhu. The clothes on Zhu Zhu's upper body were covered with blood, and his face was a little pale. "Uncle Zhuzhu, what's wrong? Who hurt you?" Zi Baifeng's eyes widened and he was filled with anger. He recognized it at a glance. The wound on Zhuzhu's shoulder was a knife wound. No kind of beast would bite like that. together. After listening to Zhu Zhu's story, Zi Baifeng immediately snorted angrily and said: "These robbers got so bold that they provoked me!" "Don't be angry, I'm fine. I'll be fine in two days. , I didn¡¯t lose any money, but the bandit leader almost asked me to chop off his head.¡± Zhu Zhu chuckled, he really didn¡¯t suffer any loss. "Don't be brave." Yan Laowu stretched out his hand and pressed on his knife wound. The pain immediately made Zhu Zhu grit his teeth and crack his mouth, leaving him speechless. "If you encounter them again in the future, don't show off your strength. They are all desperadoes. It's not a crime to fight with them. Moreover, they only have a little money. If you rob them, they will take it away. Anyway, let them return all the money." Jian warned that he was already past the age of fighting and fighting. Zhuzi was an unmarried older man and was too angry. "Did you hear what your brother said?" Yan Laowu said nothing when he saw the pillar, and pressed on the wound again. "Ouch!" Zhu Zhu screamed in pain again, and said quickly: "I know, I know!" "These robbers and bandits areHe is becoming more and more arrogant. "Zijian frowned. In fact, bandits are nothing new. When Luo Qianshan escorted them back, they had killed a few of them. Unexpectedly, these guys came back again. "And they also targeted the villagers of Xiayan Village. This matter is even more troublesome. ¡°When you go to Mengcheng in the future, you will always bring a bow, arrow and hunting knife. "Yan Laowu frowned and said, many of the villagers in Xiayan Village are hunters, but they are not willing to carry knives because they are cumbersome. Fortunately, Zhuzhu always carries a scimitar with him. Robbers are bullies who are afraid of the strong. Seeing that, The villagers all carry weapons, so they probably don¡¯t dare to come over. ¡°Humph, if I had brought my bow and arrows, there would be no chance of getting close to them. I would have killed them all with one arrow! "Zhuzhu hummed, and when Yan Laowu glared again, he quickly shouted: "Don't press it! I will not say anymore! "
