"You can't say that. Most people in our village live like this. I know you've done your best.
I will look for my younger brother, but what about my older brother?
Why did my eldest brother become an apprentice?"
“Hey, your eldest brother also wants to share the burden of the family, but for us who are from the countryside, having the opportunity to be an apprentice is the best choice.
Having a skill is better than being like my father, who only farms and does odd jobs all his life.
Not only will you be able to help the family in the village if you have the skills, but when your eldest brother gets married, he will be able to support his own family without letting his wife and children suffer.
This is all thanks to your fourth uncle. Without your fourth uncle’s help, your eldest brother wouldn’t have had the opportunity to become an apprentice.”
I just hope it’s not that mother and daughter who are behind this.
If it were Fourth Uncle, then my eldest brother would at least not suffer too much anger or hardship as an apprentice.
Well, in this era, it is not easy for people to become an apprentice. Without some connections, you can't even find which way the door opens.
It was also thanks to the fact that there was a scholar in their family.
“Well, I have to thank Fourth Uncle for this, but what is my eldest brother learning?
Has he come back to see me? Is he okay? "
"I come back for a few days every year and learn how to cook. At least I won't starve with this skill. Although being an apprentice is hard, it's because my father can't afford to send me to school.
If he could learn a few words, your fourth uncle would have sent him to work as an assistant to the owner of the restaurant.
After following him for ten years or so, you will be able to become a manager.
Well, the cook is not bad, and there is no shortage of food in the kitchen all day long."
The wishes of ordinary people are always the simplest and most honest, let alone in this era, when ordinary people are hungry and cold.
Their biggest wish is to have enough food and clothing, and for the whole family to be together and live in peace.
“The chef’s cooking skills are quite good, but let’s go to the county town to see him later.
But the mother and daughter today were strange. I wonder what they were doing in the mountains?
I heard from Chaoyu that they usually stay at home or visit other families, and never go to places like the mountains."
Yun Chang frowned: "I don't care about them. As long as they don't cause any trouble, I don't care what they are doing."
After the three of them finished their meal, Chaoyu refused to let Chaoge clean up the dishes no matter what, so Chaoge let her do it.
Unexpectedly, when Yunchang came back from the house, he found a purse in his hand.
The purse was wrapped in oil paper, and there was some dirt in Yunchang's hands.
Chaoge guessed that the father and daughter hid their money in the same way, they were indeed father and daughter.
"This is the money that Dad has saved over the years. I was going to give it to you and your younger brother. Now Dad is handing it over to you.
I can see that you are a capable housekeeper. With you in charge, dad feels at ease.
Aren't we going to town? Just buy whatever you need. Don't feel bad.
I have no idea how to find your brother. I was thinking of saving this money to redeem you, but now it is not necessary.
From now on, you can stay at home and we don’t have to remarry. Although Daddy’s farming can’t provide you with a life of worry-free food and clothing, it’s better for us to be together as a family than to marry into another family and serve them.”
I thought Yunchang was a taciturn person, but when I held the heavy purse in my hand and heard what he said, all the complaints Chaoge had against the original owner's father almost disappeared.
Isn’t a father like Yunchang a microcosm of most ordinary fathers in modern times?
They just have limited abilities, and they are trying their best to support the family. They are also trying hard to bring happiness to their family and children. No matter how hard they work, they will never show it in front of their family.
Chaoge squeezed her purse, bit her lip and nodded.
“Okay, I’ll be the housekeeper.
But I may have to be an old maid for the rest of my life, so please don’t despise me when the time comes.”
Chaoge restrained himself from showing his emotions and said jokingly.
Yunchang's eyes were red, and he raised his hand to touch his daughter's head, but when he raised his hand, he found that his daughter had already grown into a big girl.
The little girl who left her at the age of eleven for this family will never come back.
His eyes fell on Chaoge's scarred face, and his tears never stopped.
It was the first time that I looked at my daughter's face so carefully. Through the scars all over her face, her facial features and her eyes and eyebrows were 70% similar to those of her deceased wife.
The girl who should be as beautiful as a flower...
"No, I won't dislike it. Dad is so happy that he can't wait..."
"Sister, I'm fine, let's go!"
Yun Chaoyu came out of the kitchen, her dark face filled with a happy smile!
"Okay, Dad, let's go to town together."
Yunchang was a little hesitant at first, and wanted to see which family needed help in harvesting corn. Even if the villagers didn't pay him, at least he could get some food, which saved a meal.
But seeing his two daughters looking at him with smiles on their faces, Yun Chang grinned happily and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, Daddy hasn't taken you to town yet, Daddy will take you there!"
As I recall, Yunchang used to go out early and come back late. Although he didn't make much money, he was always busy and had no time to spend with his children.
Seeing him like this, Chaoge happily took his arm. Such an action is very common in modern times, but this was in ancient times.
Yun Chang's body stiffened and his cheeks turned red, but he didn't shake it off.
Chaoyu carried the family's backpack, and the father and his two daughters walked out of the yard and closed the gate.
The only things in the house that were worth a few copper coins were the mother and daughter's clothes, so there was nothing to steal.
Even the grains in the kitchen were all gone, there was no oil, only a handful of salt, and the rest was firewood...
Unexpectedly, not long after they walked out of the door, a man ran towards them in a hurry!
"Hey, this, this is really your daughter Chaoge?
Oh, I heard last night that she came back. It’s good that she came back. It’s good that she came back.
Where are you three going, father and daughter?"
"Village Chief, let's go to town."
Chaoge smiled at the village chief and called him "Uncle Village Chief".
The village chief nodded happily and said, "Okay, okay, little pigeon, how about you lend me your father for today?"
The father, daughter and their two children all looked surprised: "Uncle Village Chief, what's the matter?
Today I want my dad to have a good rest, and we will go buy some things for the family."
"Hey, you can buy this any day. It's a chance to make a fortune, a chance to make a fortune!"
As the village chief spoke, his eyes and brows were full of joy, and Yunchang straightened his expression when he heard it. He couldn't wait to know what the opportunity to make a fortune that the village chief mentioned was.
"Village chief, please stop keeping us in suspense. Tell me what's going on.
If there is no rush, I still plan to take my two daughters for a walk on the street."
Yunchang urged, after all, it was getting late and the round trip was thirty miles.
