Chapter 124 Helping make trouble?

Since Xu Nanshan also came this year, Qiulin's family didn't have to rush back.In the evening, after supper, everyone sat around the fire and chatted, gossiping about family affairs.Now that my uncle's house has opened a workshop, the focus of work is also on the workshop, so at the moment we are talking more about the workshop.

"By the way, my brother-in-law didn't say that the workshop was short of manpower last time. I thought about it, and I think I can also help." Everyone's discussion was in full swing, and Xu Nanshan recommended himself.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was also stunned.Xu Nanshan has been staying at home since his legs were broken.The work of this carpenter is not easy, and his legs and feet are not flexible, so why would he want to do this?

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Xu Nanshan swallowed his saliva, straightened his waist a little, and said eloquently: "Although the work of this carpenter is heavy, as long as you don't carry these logs, you can just work in the workshop." I do some wood chipping and furniture work in there, and I can still do it."

Han Dong grinned at the corner of his mouth, feeling that the brother-in-law's proposal was inappropriate, so he rejected it, "Brother-in-law, although the work in the workshop is unnecessary, it is quite tiring. With your current physical condition, how can you Reassuring? Let’s let this matter go.”

"Brother-in-law, I used to help a carpenter cut down trees. Of course, I know that this job is not easy. But how can I know that I can't do it if I don't try it? Now, although my legs are not flexible, my hands are still good. This carpenter's job is not easy. The most important thing is the work at hand. Brother-in-law, I didn't think of this matter on a whim, maybe this is really a way out. I have been at home like this for a year or two, and if I don't find something to do, I'm afraid These hands will really be blunt." Xu Nanshan didn't think about this matter for a day or two, so he wouldn't give up his thoughts just because of Han Dong's words.For a long time, he watched Han Shiqiuyue and the others busy at home, but he couldn't help him. This kind of frustration made him feel like a knife. Now that there is such an opportunity, why doesn't he seize it?He didn't want to be a burden to the whole family, and he didn't want to live like this all day long.Be an idler with nothing to do!
Seeing Xu Nanshan's agitated expression, it seemed that he had made up his mind.

"Head of the family, if you go to the workshop, you have to live in the town. Who will take care of your daily necessities? Brother and the others are so busy, why don't you go to make trouble for them..." Han still felt that it was inappropriate, Can't help frowning.Waiting for the workshop to start after the next year, big brother and the others must be very busy. The head of the house has to serve meals, clothes have to be served, and his necessities of life must be handled by someone. The head of the house is not going to cause trouble for the big brothers What is it! "I can take care of you when you are at home. If you feel free, you can also weave baskets and dustpans. Isn't the bamboo forest behind Yang enough for you to weave baskets and dustpans?"

"Yeah, Dad, Uncle and the others are very busy, how can they have time to take care of you. Don't worry about it, Ansheng can stay at home." Qiuyue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said so.Dad needs people to pass by when he eats and urinates, so what if he goes to cause trouble for the uncle and the others?
Han's words made Xu Nanshan realize a serious problem, yes, now that his legs are broken, why not let others take care of him?I only thought that I could help my brother-in-law and the others with carpentry work with my hands, but I never thought of this. If it really happened, it would really make trouble for my brother-in-law and the others!Xu Nanshan grinned in embarrassment, being convinced by Han's words, he was speechless at the moment.

Seeing that Xu Nanshan had stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.If the elder brother-in-law really followed him to the workshop, then they would be busy taking care of the elder brother-in-law, how could they concentrate on working?Seeing that he had dismissed his thoughts, everyone felt relieved.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry about the things in the workshop. Yi Ming is 14 years old now, and he is a young man. He can also help with things in the workshop." Han Dong patted Xu Nanshan's arm and signaled The big brother-in-law is at ease.

Xu rolled his eyes and said: "Brother, this Mingwazi is not going to be a scholar. If he is not good at studying, he should go to work in the workshop. This will delay his study."

"Yi Ming is growing up now, and it will take three years to wait for the next exam. By then your nephew will be eighteen. As the saying goes, these 360 ​​lines can lead to the number one scholar, the road of studying It doesn’t work, but being a carpenter in the town has a future. According to the current level of workshop business, this carpenter is also a popular industry. We don’t care about those hypocritical things that are not famous. The most important thing in this world is to eat Eat enough to feed the whole family. With a skill at your side, you won’t starve yourself to death.” Judging from the results of this exam, his family’s Mingwazi is not material for studying at all.It's better to change careers as soon as possible and become a carpenter.It is justifiable for a son to inherit his father's business.

It turned out that this was the case. This Han Yiming is now 15 years old. He is already a young man. Now that he has reached the age of marriage, this scholar will return to school after failing to pass the exam. When the time comes, will the girl of the family be willing to marry?It is better for young people to be pragmatic and down-to-earth.Han Shi nodded with a smile. The elder brother's idea is not bad.

In this world, it is not necessarily the only way out of studying, it is the best in this profession.But you also need to know some words, so that you don't have to be blind.

"Brother Ming, what do you think about this matter?" In the silence of the crowd, a clear voice caught everyone's attention.Everyone followed the source of the sound, and it turned out that it was the girl Qiulin who had been staying silently beside Mrs. Han.With her eyes closed and motionless just now, everyone thought the girl had fallen asleep.

That's right, Qiulin is right.They were discussing here in full swing, and they never asked Mingwazi's own opinion at all.

"That's right, Yi Ming, what do you think?" Han Dong calmed down for the first time to think about this question.He only thought that Ah Ming is not too young now, and he will be in a hurry to talk about his wife in a year or two, so how can he still study like this?If you continue reading like this, you will become an old boy, and when the time comes, will the girl from that family be willing to marry him?Han Dong only wanted to use his own ideas to plan for the elder son, but ignored the elder son's own thoughts.Now when Lin Wazi reminded her, she suddenly came to her senses.

At that time, everyone's eyes were also focused on Han Yiming who was sitting next to Han Dong.Qiu Lin followed everyone's gaze, and saw the 15-year-old boy sitting by the fire.The scorching red light engraved a bit of soft light on the young man's handsome face, and the handsome facial features softened.

This was the first time Qiulin had seriously looked at her big cousin.The boy was wearing a dark purple winter coat, with his hands in his pockets, his body was very straight, and his figure was thin and tall.His facial features are handsome and his eyes are bright.Since he spends most of his time studying in school, his skin is so fair that farmers rarely see it.Qiulin secretly sighed, her cousin is quite handsome.

Han Yiming glanced at Han Dong, the corners of his mouth moved, and then he spoke. "Actually, I don't miss this book either. Dad, I'm not that kind of material at all. I've studied very hard in the past few years. Dad also said that 360 lines are the number one, and it doesn't necessarily have to be number one and number one. This is the right way. Although carpentry is dirty and tiring, it is better than growing crops at home, and the money comes in faster. Dad, I am willing to learn this job, don’t worry.” There is not enough manpower in the workshop, he As the eldest son, he should naturally contribute.Besides, he is not too old now, if he continues to study like this, he will be old.There is still a skill that makes people feel more at ease.

After Han Yiming said this, everyone knew it.Han Dong patted Han Yiming's shoulder again, and said quite proudly: "Okay, after this year is over, Ming Wazi will go to work with Dad in the workshop. As long as you are serious and willing to learn, Yi Ming will definitely be an outstanding student in the future." carpenter!"

Under Han Dong's expectant gaze, Han Yiming nodded solemnly.All the men in the room had cheerful smiles on their faces, but only those women had faint worries in their smiles.This Mingwazi is a scholar. He used to focus on his studies and seldom did housework.How can he bear such a dirty and tiring job as a frail scholar?So why aren't they worried?

"Mother, don't worry. Since I've made up my mind to learn, I won't be unable to resist the hardships and give up halfway. These tasks are just a bit of a burden at the beginning, and it'll be fine if you do it smoothly." Han Yiming is not afraid Endure hardship, he vowed to Mrs. Ye, with a firm light in his eyes.

Mrs. Ye could only nod her head, hoping everything was as Mingwazi said. "I hope so, Yi Ming, if you can't hold on, don't bite the bullet and hold on, this job is not easy after all."

"My mother, don't worry about it. It's because my third brother and I are here. We can do all the heavy work by ourselves. After all, Yi Ming is still a child, and his bones are still tender, so he can't do it. Great effort. I'm still a little bit measured." Just kidding, Mingwazi is his own son, how can he assign heavy work to him regardless of whether Mingwazi can bear it?He and the third brother are definitely taking over the heavy work!
"Mother, I understand." Han Yiming nodded with a smile.This time, he is determined to work hard with his father and third uncle. How can he just give up, he must stick to it!

This matter was finalized amidst everyone's chatter, and it turned out that it was not Xu Nanshan who went to help the workshop, but Han Yiming, the eldest son of Han Dong's family.
