There are also two large fish weighing seven or eight pounds each. Just one of these fish is enough to make a substantial dish for lunch.

The meal was prepared by the Wang family matriarch, with Lin Xue assisting. Soon, a large table was filled with food.

Just before dinner, a few more people arrived at Old Wang's house. These were all relatives or neighbors who had a good relationship with the Wang family.

After some pleasantries, the group formally began the apprenticeship process.

In this era, the act of becoming an apprentice still requires kneeling and offering tea to the master.

Then, the apprentice presents a gift to the master, who then gives the apprentice instructions.

In short, the process was very complicated, and Lin Xue gained some valuable experience.

After the ceremony, they split into two tables to eat.

The old lady of the Wang family was very skilled at cooking, and Lin Xue kept calling her "Master's Wife" to make her happy.

Only then did Lin Xue gain a clear understanding of the Wang family.

Old Wang is a veteran driver in the transport team, and he has quite a bit of influence within the team.

Old Wang's eldest son, Wang Shengli, works in the security team. Although he is just an ordinary employee, he still has a government job.

This injury was sustained while apprehending the criminals; I almost lost my life at the time.

Old Wang's second son is named Wang Kaixuan. He is currently working as a junior staff member in a machinery factory. He has not been working there for a full year and is still considered a newcomer.

Old Wang's third son, Wang Tuanjie, is serving in the army and has not returned.

Old Wang's fourth son is in high school and will not graduate for another year.

Old Wang's fifth son is in junior high school and will be able to go to high school next year.

The Wang family only has five sons and no daughters, so they treat Lin Xue with more enthusiasm.

It seems that he transferred all the regret of not having a daughter onto Lin Xue!
