I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 36

"Heh, I've informed Master, Ye Xiaoer, you just wait to be kicked out of the carpentry shop." Xu San snorted coldly, with his head held high and his arms crossed.

"So what?" Ye Erlang puffed up his chest. Anyway, he's not here to beg for food now, so there's no need to be kind to these brutes.

And his sister-in-law and younger sister are still waiting for him outside, he has backing.

This beast, the master has not yet driven him out, just like a monster in a story book, with profound morals.

Ever since he came to this carpenter's trade as an apprentice, Xu San has often been at odds with him.Those who can come to this carpenter's trade as apprentices are all from poor people from all over the world. Which rich person would become an apprentice?
Among other things, Xu San is so arrogant and domineering because his family has ten acres of fertile land and is richer than other families.Because he predicted that these apprentices from remote areas would not dare to make a big deal easily, and if they lost their apprentice's job, the family would definitely suffer even worse.

The reason why he is called a beast is because this beast tried to bully his master's daughter, and tried to put the blame on him.

Ye Erlang narrowed his eyes, if it wasn't because he happened to be called by his master to move things that day, this beast would have succeeded.

And that day happened to be the third day after his sister-in-law brought something to him with his younger sister.

When he was most desperate, it was his sister-in-law who gave him a hand, and he will always be grateful in his life.

Thinking that his family members were waiting for him outside, he wanted to make this matter beautiful.

"Yeah - I haven't seen you for a few days, Ye Xiaoer, you are becoming more and more disrespectful, hum! You have to get out of the carpentry business for me today, just watch!"

Ye Erlang didn't give Xu San a look, and went straight to the teacher's room.

Xu San looked at this dead tortoise who wouldn't dare to fart on weekdays, but today he dared to kill his face.

Wood and messy sawdust are placed everywhere in the yard, and finished or semi-finished woodwork is everywhere in the house, including tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, windows, etc., and there is also a room for coffins.

Ye Erlang called into the room: "Master."

"Ahem, Erlang, why did you come back?" After a burst of dust, there was a coughing sound in the room.

"Master, Erlang met Second Brother Xu at the door, so it was too late." Ye Erlang said respectfully.

The faces of the people inside froze. Is this what I said?This kid came back seven or eight days late for no reason during the busy farming season. If he had been called another workshop, he would have been kicked out many times.

"What I'm talking about is why you came so many days late?"

Ye Erlang stood at the door, hesitating for a while: "Master, Xiao Ke is here this time to say goodbye to you."

"What?" There was a sudden clattering sound from inside the room, followed by the sound of slow and heavy footsteps, but after a while, an old man with gray hair and frowning came out.

This man is Ye Erlang's tutor, his surname is Zhang, and he is known as Lao Zhangtou.

Although he looked old, he was in good spirits. Except for some problems in his neck and back, everything else was normal.

"Master, Xiao Ke bid farewell to Master." Ye Erlang immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your teaching this year, Master. Xiao Ke has learned a lot, thanks to Master's care."

Old Zhangtou looked confused: "Get up first and tell the master what's going on?"

Ye Erlang got up and followed the old man into the house: "My sister-in-law is going to send Xiao Ke to school in the village."

"Reading?" Obviously surprised, Master Zhang showed an expression of disbelief.He knew that Ye Jia Dalang was a scholar, but the weather was not good and he died some time ago.Knowing the predicament of the Ye family, how come there is still spare money for Erlang to study?

"Yes, master, my sister-in-law treats me like a parent and child, and this time I went back to discuss sending me to the village to study, and my sister-in-law at home really can't handle it alone. After thinking twice, I decided to go home." Erlang said.

"You really made up your mind?"

"Yes."

Old Zhangtou felt that it was a pity. Ye Erlang was very talented. If he continued to work, he would become an accomplished carpenter in the future, and he might not be able to make a fortune in this industry.

"Study is good. You are a good student. You can go to the next scientific examination. It is really not good. You can learn some abacus and become an accountant. Don't come to eat carpenter's hard work." Although the old Zhangtou regretted that Ye Erlang was not an apprentice, he considered With the situation of the Ye family, it is impossible to convert it into a craftsman's registration in the future.

Unless you become an official in the future, you can't leave the carpenter's identity. The son of a carpenter is a carpenter, and the son of a blacksmith is a blacksmith. This is the case for generations.

Hey, there are good and bad things about this system.

Ye Erlang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said: "Master, before leaving, Xiao Ke has something to tell you. Second brother Xu is not a good person. Sister Rong must be careful and guard against him. Master, please forgive me for saying that." It's not right."

Lao Zhang bowed his head and fell silent. After a while, he waved Ye Erlang to pack his things.

He's just an apprentice, not his disciple, so he doesn't have so many rules.As for Xu Er, Sister Rong had already told him about it, and Sister Rong had already sent her to her grandfather's house in the countryside.What Ye Erlang said today confirmed this, and it was time for Xu Er to be released.

"Erlang, do you really want to go?" Wang Shiba lay on the bed frame, watching Ye Erlang tidy up the bed. He didn't have many things, and he packed a bundle.

Ye Erlang raised his head and said, "Yes, eighteen. My eldest brother is gone. I'm the man in the family. I can't be too far away from home. Besides, my sister-in-law said she would send me to study in a village school."

"What? You want to study?" Wang Shiba turned over and got off the bed frame, and grabbed Ye Erlang's shoulder.

It was unbelievable that Jiro was going to school.

Ye Erlang patted Wang Shiba's hand: "From now on, you will be the only one here, so beware of that bastard Xu San."

Wang Shiba is his closest brother here. After he left, there are only two apprentices here, Xu San and him. Xu San is a beast, so it is inevitable that he will be cruel to Wang Shiba.It is necessary for him to remind Wang Shiba to beware of Xu San.

"You don't know yet, Sister Rong has been sent to the countryside by Mr. Zhang to avoid the limelight after she filed a complaint. I'm just waiting for you to come back. I guess Master Zhang won't keep Xu San. Don't worry." Wang Shiba said in Ye Erlang's ear. sidewalk.

"I haven't heard the master mention it." Ye Erlang was surprised.

This is great!
When Xu San just entered the door, he was still mocking him, heh, if you do too much unrighteousness, you will kill yourself.

Wang Shiba suddenly crawled under the bed and dragged out a wooden box, patted the dust, took out a cloth bag from inside and handed it to Ye Erlang.

"Erlang, this is a treasure I've saved for a long time. I thought I'd give it to you before, but it's been delayed until now."

"What is this?" Ye Erlang opened the cloth bag, and saw that there was a white juan inside, with traces of charcoal pencils on it.

"I drew it secretly. These are the tricks that the masters revealed unintentionally. I wrote it down after reading it." Wang Shiba explained.
