The Analects of Righteous Father’s Collapse

"Uncle Jiang, you are back!"

A sharp-eyed child in the village saw the river and immediately jumped up excitedly, calling out to other friends.Although there was not much time to see the river, these children knew that when Uncle Jiang came back, it meant that they had candy.

Perhaps it was because the child of the original body was still in the womb, and the original body was particularly fond of children. He always had a lot of candy in his pocket. When the acrobatic performance was performed, it was distributed to the children who watched the acrobatics, and when they returned home, they were distributed to the village. Child.

Because of his generosity, he is also one of the most popular elders in the village.

For the children in the village, Uncle Jiang's return is no different from the New Year.

"Take a point."

Jiang Liu smiled and handed over a pack of candies that had been prepared to the lead child, and then he made the distribution.

"Well, Uncle Jiang, wait for you to rest. We will help you get all the firewood together. Now it's cold, and you'll panic if you don't burn."

The leading child snorted and jumped.

With that said, he held the candy bag high in his hand and was surrounded by a group of children who had been heard by the news.

When Jiangliu returned to the Jiang family's old house, the old people and very few young people who lived in this village also came.

People on the mountain rarely go down the mountain, unless it is for the purchase of daily necessities, such as salt and oil, especially some elderly people, they have little knowledge of the outside world, they prefer to listen to him from the mouth of the river The story of the big city outside, and after listening to the story, smiled and encouraged their grandchildren to let them study hard and strive to get out of the mountain one day.

By the way, children in the mountains can also study, but they spend two or three hours back and forth every day climbing the mountain. Nine-year compulsory education, school tuition is extremely low, and now the government’s food allowance for children in poor mountain areas is enough to allow The poorest children can also read books.

It’s just that life is harder than expected. Often when the oldest child in the family is twelve or thirteen, their grandparents are already doing heavy farming work. If the parents who go out to work don’t send money back, they often only Can choose to drop out of school at home and cultivate the fields, so that the younger brother and sister can go to school.

And because of the habit of early marriage in remote mountain villages, fourteen or five years old is already the age of parents, so these years, few can really get out of this mountain by studying.

Because of ignorance, poverty is repeated from generation to generation.

In order to listen to Jiang Liu telling stories outside, these old men enthusiastically helped him clean up the dust and clean up the house that had not lived for months.

"How long can you stay on this trip and spend New Year at home?"

The weather is about to turn cold, and it will be three or four months before the New Year. The guys are not sure whether he intends to stay at home until the new year, or as usual, go out and work hard in the most profitable year for the juggling group. .

Strange to say, the river never came back at this time in the past, so the old men who helped clean the river couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'm not going for the time being, I am getting older at this age, and I don't plan to get married and have children, so when I come back from this trip, I am thinking about taking a few apprentices and passing on this craft."

Jiang Liu's remarks caused a shock to everyone present. Everyone put their hands down and asked him excitedly.

To be honest, there is no family in the village who does not want children to follow the Jiang family to learn craftsmanship, because in the past few decades, the Jiang family has earned money and everyone sees it. Several large houses in the Jiang family, all kinds of electrical appliances at home He earned it through this skill. If his children can learn this skill, not only can they help brothers and sisters, but also a great thing for them.

It's just that Jiang Sanchun said before that this technique is not passed on to outsiders. In addition, everyone in these years feels that Jiang Liu will remarry sooner or later, so he has not mentioned this matter.

Now that Jiang Liu has spoken himself, it means that this matter has been settled, how can this make everyone not excited.

"Xiaojiang, what are you asking for, acceptor?"

Everyone thought, could such a good thing be worthless?I'm afraid I have to pay filial piety as I did in the past.Otherwise, if there is no relative or no reason, why should someone give you the profitable craftsmanship?

"I really have this request."

Jiang Liu put down the rag in his hand and said seriously.

"First of all, I only accept boys."

When the Jiang family inherited this craft, it was only passed on to boys. That’s because they were worried that the girls would pass on the housekeeping skills after they got married. Therefore, unless the Jiang family had only girls, and the girls must hire their son-in-law in the future Only then will it be given to the child.

Now Jiangliu made this request to avoid suspicion.

Learning bone contraction is different from other acrobatics, and it needs to be taught by hand. Some intimate contact is unavoidable. The child is better when he is young. When the child is older, with gender awareness, this excessive intimate behavior seems not It's too appropriate.

Therefore, at this point, the river still decided to follow the original regulations, and only accept male apprentices.

"Second, I only accept children from 6 to 8 years old."

This is a limitation of the bone-reducing exercises. Children at this age are already sensible and will not be able to eat a bit of bitterness. And children at this age are still relatively soft. When they are older, the bones will start to shape and they will suffer even more. The effect of practicing exercises is not as good as that of younger children.

This requirement is still the same as it was raised in my life.

"The third and final point."

At this point, half of them continued the original practice, and half of them came out of the way the river flow came up.

"Everyone is watching me grow up, and I know how much hardship I need to practice my home skills."

Jiang Liu’s words reminded the adults present that when they first came into contact with the bone-shrinking exercises, they couldn’t bear the pain of the dislocated ghosts crying and howling. This kind of practice method adults watched all stunned, not to mention the hard-working children. What.

"So I hope you think about it before sending the children, but I don’t accept any of the children in your family who are not happy, and if you really want to worship me as a teacher, we have to write a letter and write clearly that these children come to me Studying here is voluntary and voluntary, and you allow it. I didn’t force it to come."

These requirements are very reasonable, and an old man couldn't help but ask: "If this comes to you for tutoring, how much do you have to pay for tutoring?"

The children who go out remember that it is better to hang home and send money back. Those children will not return when they go away. I am afraid that they will not be able to pay too much money in the homes of people without audio.

"No, I don't charge tuition. I also provide the apprentice with three meals a day, but when he is out of school, he will earn me one-fifth of the money and ten years."

The condition of Jiangliu is not harsh. Similar to his ability to teach foreigners heirloom, many not only charge tuition fees, but also require apprentices to work in their own acrobatics for several years, so after hearing this condition of Jiangliu, everyone The children were relieved.

It's just relaxing, and I'm embarrassed. I feel like I'm taking advantage of the river.

At this time, everyone didn't care about listening to the stories of big cities in Jiangliu. After helping to clean up the house, they got up and went home. They were ready to discuss it and see if they would send their children to learn this skill.

******

There are not many qualified children in the village. Boys are 6-8 years old, and the whole village is four or five. However, if the family can live a good life, I really don’t want to send my children to learn bone reduction. .

On the evening of the same day, there were a lot of disputes in the four or five families who met the conditions to learn this skill.

"Mom, I don't want to study anymore, I'll study."

Xiao Binbin said to his mother Zhang Yanfen without thinking.

"Let's not learn."

Zhang Yanfen often exhaled after a long silence.

"You're still young, haven't seen how Uncle Jiang taught his father, I saw your grandfather take off his hand bones and foot bones, and then closed it again, one round down, your uncle Jiang The sweat on my body and the painful sweat all wet the clothes. Not only that, to practice this kung fu no matter whether it is windy or rainy, you have to wear a thin training shirt. This is still a dear father."

Zhang Yanfen knew that it would be quick to learn this. If the son really worshipped the river as a teacher, even if she died, she didn’t have to worry too much about the life of her son and a pair of daughters, but as a mother, she still could not bear her son to suffer this crime.

"I know, Mom, you can rest assured that I'm suffering."

Xiao Binbin was equally panicked, but the six-year-old boy was already used to covering his emotions in front of his mother.

He appeared relaxed and hoped: "I want to learn the skill. In the future, like Uncle Jiang, I can drive a big car and live in a big house. I want to eat well and wear well. I don't want to suffer anymore."

Xiao Binbin didn't say that he wanted to learn something better to see his mother, he didn't say he wanted to make money so that the two sisters could go to school with peace of mind in the future, he only said that he wanted to make money and live a stable life, only that he didn't want to Suffered.

Sure enough, after he said this, Zhang Yanfen was silent.

"Mother dragged you down."

Sometimes Zhang Yanfen thought that her own body might as well be dead, but she really could not bear her three children, her three dolls were only six years old, the youngest twins were two years old, if she left, What about these three children?So she can only live alive, drinking herbal soups that she doesn't know how to rely on, and live as long as possible.

"What drags on."

Xiao Binbin glued the matchbox briskly, and then smiled and told the two sisters that he would be able to make money soon, and when he made money, he would be able to buy them sweet candy, as sweet as the candy Uncle Jiang gave them. .

The two two-year-old children are not sensible, listening to the beautiful life portrayed by their elder brother, showing a naive smile.

******

Early the next morning, Jiang Liu opened the door to pick up some water and came back, and saw that Xiao Binbin was already waiting outside with a basket of firewood.

In his last life, among the three former apprentices, his favorite was the young apprentice Xiao Binbin.

The apprentice didn’t talk much and wouldn’t say anything to please him, but he was the most able to endure hardship among the three children. In the last life, such a thing happened. Xu Quanjun and Wang Gouzi both testified with the encouragement of their parents. Jiang Liu, but he didn't appear from beginning to end.

The original thought, maybe he was embarrassed to appear in front of him again, because the most fierce jump in his life was his father Xiao Guohui, and Zhang Yanfen, who was once funded by Jiang Liu, chose to be silent.

The original body always wanted to ask him face to face, why didn't he stand up and say something for him, but until the original body left, he saw Wang Gouzi who secretly apologized, and didn't see this favorite apprentice.

The original is with strong regret and unwilling to leave.

Therefore, when Jiang Liu met Xiao Binbin, this excited emotion also affected him.
