Rebirth of farming for a living

Zhang felt that she hadn't fallen asleep yet when she heard Li Xiangdong getting up.

Busy also opened his eyes: "Master, what are you doing up so early?"

Li Xiangdong didn't look back: "You can sleep a little longer, I have something to do."

After saying that, I took off my shoes and went out.

After all, Mrs. Zhang didn't fall asleep again, but Li Xiangdong didn't know what he was doing when he went out.

Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to get up and make breakfast first, and then pick out a better set of clothes, planning to change into them later before going to town.

Li Mu and Li Lin both had a good night's sleep.

Li Mu has been working in the store these days. Although he is not too tired, he still works, so he sleeps soundly.

As for Li Lin, he has been cutting wood boards with Lin Song every day these days. Even in his dreams, he is cutting boards. He is really tired, so he just falls back on it.

The two of them yawned and got up, each washing their faces.

Mrs. Zhang in that room was also looking out. What was Li Xiangdong doing there? He had already eaten, but he still hadn't come back.

Fortunately, just as Mrs. Zhang scooped out a bowl of rice to cool down, Li Xiangdong came in with a basket.

"Dad, where have you been?" Li Lin was young after all, so he was a little curious when he saw his father going out early in the morning.

"The apprenticeship ceremony prepared for you." Li Xiangdong saw some smile lines in the corners of his eyes when he saw Li Lin.

Li Lin stretched his head to look and realized that there were some red beans and red dates inside.

"Do I need these to become a disciple?" Li Lin really didn't know.

"Yeah." Li Xiangdong didn't want to say more.

I didn't understand the rules of apprenticeship, so I went to Li Xiangnan's house early in the morning.

Awang also had a apprenticeship, so Li Xiangnan must know what to use.

Li Xiangnan counted with his fingers for Li Xiangdong: "It should be celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and lean meat strips."

Time is tight and if you don’t have dry lean meat strips, use meat strips instead.

Li Xiangdong thanked Li Xiangnan and planned to come back.

As a result, Mrs. Wang said that she had red beans and red dates at home, so she packed up a basket: "The rest of the things are sold in the town. Brother, you can take these."

Li Xiangdong felt hot in his heart and couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.

"You will get more money later and go to the town to buy the rest. The money for the red beans and red dates will also be given to the third child." Li Xiangdong told Mrs. Zhang.

Li Mu and Li Lin secretly exchanged glances, asking whether the third uncle wanted to discuss it. They were both very pleased that their father could mention it like this.

However, can mother be willing to give it?

To the surprise of the two of them, Mrs. Zhang nodded: "When I go shopping in town, I ask about the price of these red dates and red beans. You can't take advantage of Lao San like this."

Oops, is the sun coming out in the west?

Zhang seems to be really not normal, even today's breakfast is much richer than before.

Mrs. Zhang knew that her two sons had to work, so she specially cooked thick broken rice porridge, made pancakes, and steamed two eggs.

The family finished their breakfast in silence, and Li Xiangdong stood up: "The third son said that we should take his ox cart. Let's go without any delay, shall we?"

Li Mu and Li Lin had nothing to deal with. Mrs. Zhang went back to the house and changed her clothes, then asked Li Xiangdong to change too, and the family went to Li Xiangnan's house together.

Li Qiuyan and his family haven't packed up yet, but Li Xiangbei has already driven the bullock cart and is waiting.

Knowing that Li Xiangdong's family had business, Li Xiangbei drove a bullock cart and took Li Xiangdong's family and the Zhou family to the town first.

Li Qiuyan chased him out with a box and handed it to Li Lin: "I see that Master Lin likes to drink tea. You can take this with you. Let's meet in the store after shopping."

Just looking at this box, you can tell that the tea inside is absolutely extraordinary.

At the very least, you can’t buy it in town.

Li Lin hesitated while touching the box, and then Li Qiuyan waved his hand: "Let's go, I still need to eat."

Li Mu nodded slightly, and Li Lin stopped refusing and thanked Li Qiuyan. When he saw her turning around to go home, Li Xiangbei whipped her, and the ox cart started moving slowly.

By the time Li Qiuyan and his party drove the carriage to the noodle shop, Li Xiangdong's family had already bought things and were waiting.

Li Qiuyan signaled Li Xiangdong and Zhang to get into the carriage with Li Lin. Zhang felt that the carriage was so luxurious that she didn't even dare to raise her head to take a closer look.

Today Li Lin is apprenticed, Carpenter Lin has tidied up, and Lin Song is also dressed up.

Li Qiuyan also met Lin Song's daughter-in-law for the first time. Lin Song's daughter-in-law had a round face and looked very smiling.

Both sides received the greetings and took their seats respectively.

"Li Lin is a kid who works very hard. I like him very much." Carpenter Lin first praised Li Lin.

"It's all thanks to your teaching." Li Xiangdong was unequivocal and flattered him loudly.

Carpenter Lin said a few words of humility, and then continued: "I accept Li Lin as my disciple. As a master, I have several requirements."

Li Xiangdong hurriedly acted like he was all ears.

Carpenter Lin said one by one.

He has many demands, but in summary the three most important points are as follows:

First, Li Lin had no wages for the first three years.

Second, once he is a teacher, he is always a father. Li Lin's marriage must be decided by him.

Thirdly, Li Lin will live in Carpenter Lin's house from today on, and he is not allowed to go home unless he has something to do.

Mrs. Zhang was dumbfounded when she heard this.
