Chapter 77 Asking for a job
Last night, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li Yitian family, Wu, was punished by the clan leader to kneel in the ancestral hall according to the clan rules. She was taken into the ancestral hall that night. This matter was spread among the clan this morning. .

Many people were curious about what mistake Mrs. Wu had made, and they also muttered that Ms. Wu always smiled when she saw everyone, she got along with everyone, she was kind and respectful to her parents-in-law, she was such a good person, how could she make such a mistake? ?

Only those who were slightly better informed knew what Wu had done.

The sound of the gong sounded, and every family in the clan was startled. While they hurried to the ancestral hall, they were also thinking about why the clan leader summoned everyone, and whether it had something to do with the Wu family's punishment of the ancestral hall yesterday.

The Li Clan Ancestral Hall was built on the hillside behind the patriarch's house, with green hills behind and the meandering clear river in front. The terrain is excellent, the feng shui is also excellent, and it was only completed a few decades ago.

At that time, Patriarch Li, Father Li, and their grandfather Li Daniu, out of kindness, provided a meal to an old Taoist priest who was passing by. The old Taoist priest helped show the Feng Shui treasure land. That's what the old Taoist priest mentioned.

Honesty follows prosperity, diligence and thrift manage the family, filial piety comes first, kindness and kindness last a long time.

At that time, the old Taoist priest gave Li Daniu approval, saying that when their Li family ancestral hall was built at this place, within four generations after him, there would be a son who would prosper the family and be able to achieve great things and make the clan prosperous.

Therefore, Li Daniu and his tribe worked hard to build this ancestral hall, thinking that with the help of the old Taoist priest, their Li family would really be able to have a son who would prosper their family in the future and lead their Li family to prosperity.

Patriarch Li counted on his fingers, his father, him, his son, his grandson, isn't this exactly within four generations?
Most of the people in the current clan are mediocre, and it is considered good to be able to provide enough food, clothing and clothing for their own family. He looked around and saw that Jihe had some signs of success.

However, it’s not Jihe, but this girl Shiliu!
You see, she got that fructose recipe by rescuing someone, and now this wooden box business was also negotiated by her.

Don't these piles of things also show signs of the old Taoist priest's comments?

Only Patriarch Li could not help but sigh vaguely, that is, Pomegranate is a girl.

Could this son of the Xing family be a girl?
Chief Li was a little confused, but when he saw the clan members all looking at him eagerly, waiting for him to speak, the sigh in his heart disappeared.

A girl is just a girl. As long as she can make everyone in the tribe live a good life and make the Li family prosperous, she is just a girl, and that's fine with him!

With his mind settled, the clan leader cleared his throat and spoke under the attention of his clan members.

"That's why we've called everyone here. Jihe has taken over a wooden box business here and needs some help. The helper is paid thirty cents a day to take care of one meal! Only ten people are needed, and I have already decided on these ten people. I'm here, you Jixiao, Yigui, you ten people!

In addition, Jide, Jiming, Jiping, Rongzhongrongshan, those of you who are good at carpentry can make wooden boxes, and I will give you twenty coins for making one!
In addition to this, you can also recruit some apprentices to learn the craftsmanship of making this wooden box. The apprentices do not get paid, but they are responsible for the food! When you learn how to make this wooden box, you can make a twenty-wen box in the same way. If any young person is willing to go, think about it first and come over later to talk to me! "

As soon as the patriarch said these words, the whole place seemed to explode.

"What? Jihe hired help for thirty cents a day, and he still takes care of the food?"

"What kind of wooden box business? What kind of big business has Jihe taken on?"

"Why just invite ten people? Ouch."

"Apprentice? You can learn a craft and take care of the food! Once you learn, you will make money. This is a success! Rong Jiang, you can go!"

"."

They were chirping like a nest of birds, saying this and that, and everything.

The most talked about thing is why only ten people were invited, why Jixiao and the ten people were invited, why there were no such people.

The clan leaders all listened and acted as if the old god was there, not in a hurry.

No, the clan members had enough of muttering, and turned around to talk about sending apprentices. If they couldn't do this job, they would send their children to apprentices, and they would still make money later!
Immediately, each clan member responded to their children's wishes. If you go, I will go too. The clan leader asked everyone who was willing to come to Li Jihe to tell him so that he could have an idea.

For a time, Li Jihe was overwhelmed by his clan members.

Good guy, there are more than fifty families in the clan, and every family wants an apprentice, and there are even two.

Li Jihe was so surrounded that he couldn't move. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment. There were too many people here!
After much discussion, it was finally settled. With the helper and the carpenter hired, the matter of sending the apprentice away would be put aside for now and discussed later.

After filtering out some who were a little younger or a little older, there were still about twenty people.

After the candidates were confirmed, Li Jihe agreed with them that starting from the day after tomorrow, they would rush to his house every day to do the work.

The clan members dispersed one after another while talking about this lively event, and Father Li also walked home with his eldest son who came to the gathering.

On the way, Father Li was talking to Li Jihe about the wooden box business, and he was very excited about it.

Li Jifu and Li Jigui also caught up with Li Jihe and chatted with each other. One said, "Second brother, how can you be so capable! Okay! Brother, I will follow you from now on! I will do whatever you ask me to do. I promise not to You are holding me back from my second brother!"

The other one muttered, "Second brother, why don't you invite me?"

Li Jiren was walking two steps behind. He lowered his head and looked at his feet, his face looking inexplicably not very good.

After arriving at the old house first, Li Ji and Li Jifu and Li Jigui said goodbye to Father Li and continued back to the east end of the village.

When Father Li entered the gate, he opened his mouth and shouted "Rong Bai!"

Everyone in the family was curious about the reason for the sudden gathering today. Li Rongsong and the others were worried about whether it was their mother's fault. When they saw Father Li and the others coming back, they all rushed out to welcome him.

"Grandpa! Dad!"

Father Li looked at Li Rongbai and said, "Rongbai, I will go to your second uncle's house early in the morning to help! Work hard! Do you listen?"

Li Rongbai didn't know what happened at the meeting, so he looked confused when he heard it, "Grandpa, what do you mean? Why do you go to my second uncle's house to help?"

Father Li was about to tell Lao Yuan, who came out with his grandchildren, about the second son's business, but he hadn't opened his mouth yet.

Li Jiren on the side blocked Li Rongbai's words, "Rongsong Rongbai, follow me into the city tomorrow morning!"

When Li Rongsong and Li Rongbai heard what their father said, they didn't know what to do, so they nodded in agreement.

But Father Li looked over and said, "What are you doing in the city?"

Li Jiren said: "It's still early for the Chinese New Year, so I'll go to the city to find some part-time work."

Father Li's expression changed when he heard this, "Why are you looking for part-time workers at this time?"

Are you looking for part-time workers? Why don't you go early? You said you want to go at this time. What do you mean, boss?
Li Jiren said in a calm tone: "I still owe the second son four ounces of silver, so I have to pay it back. My family has no savings at all, so I don't want to find a way to make some money. What can I do? I haven't received any wedding or wedding business this time. I'm not like the old man." If you are so capable, you can only go to the city to find part-time workers."
