To be honest, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't excited about the opportunity to learn the blacksmithing craft.
But Meng Qingyin was afraid that she would not be able to master the skills well enough and would let Uncle Li down.
As if sensing her concerns, Blacksmith Li said encouragingly, "Don't feel pressured. I can teach you my skills, and I can teach others as well. There's no rule that you can only take one apprentice. If you truly can't meet my expectations, I won't let the Li family's century-old forging skills perish in my hands."
Hearing him say this, Meng Qingyin's psychological pressure was no longer so great: "Then I have nothing to worry about, Uncle Li, I am very willing to learn from you!"
Blacksmith Li was visibly happy: "Okay, then you prepare a few things, and we'll choose an auspicious day to officially become your apprentice!"
Meng Qingyin was puzzled: "Do you still want to become my disciple?"
Blacksmith Li: "Well, only after you become my disciple can we become master and apprentice. Only then can I legitimately pass on the Li family's forging skills to you."
Meng Qingyin took a deep breath and said, "Okay, what do you need me to prepare?"
Blacksmith Li: "The six gifts of tuition plus the apprenticeship letter. The six gifts of tuition are: dried meat, celery, red beans, lotus seeds, red dates, and dried longans. As for the apprenticeship letter, it is the stepping stone to formalize the master-disciple relationship. Only with it can the apprenticeship ceremony be performed."
Meng Qingyin memorized all these things in her mind.
Blacksmith Li looked relieved. "I had thought of taking you in as my goddaughter before, but I never expected that by some strange coincidence, we would become master and apprentice. Once a teacher, always a father. I can say that I have found a sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket."
Li Tieniu was equally happy, "Hey, from now on you'll be my sister, so if you have any problems, just talk to me!"
Meng Qingyin joked, "Well, I'll definitely find you if I have something to say. Don't forget what we said today, brother."
Li Tieniu promised: "I will definitely not forget it."
Blacksmith Li was a little tired: "Okay, it's getting late, take Xiao Meng back to the room to rest."
"Uncle Li, you should go to bed early too." After saying this, Meng Qingyin followed Li Tieniu to the bedroom prepared for her.
The bedroom is not big but very cozy, which Meng Qingyin, who is used to living on the train, likes very much.
After washing up, Meng Qingyin lay down on the bed. The mattress was soft and comfortable, far superior to the bed board on the train.
She closed her eyes contentedly, and Erxue suddenly came over and asked softly, "Master, are you going to break your promise?"
Meng Qingyin opened her eyes quickly and saw Erxue's round head right in front of her.
She was a little confused for a moment, "What appointment?"
Daxue came over and reminded him, "Master, didn't you say during the day that you would teach Erxue the Law Enforcer's Manual tonight? Erxue has been remembering it."
Meng Qingyin reached out and rubbed Erxue's head. "Sorry, Erxue, I forgot just now. Shall we start now?"
I was busy resolving the conflict between Uncle Li and his son tonight and forgot what I promised Erxue.
Erxue said in a very mature tone: "Master, you are really a headache."
Meng Qingyin: “…”
But she was indeed in the wrong in this matter, so she didn't say anything.
Taking out the law enforcer's manual, Meng Qingyin began to read it to Erxue sentence by sentence.
Erxue looked serious.
Meng Qingyin felt thirsty after reading a few pages, so she put down the manual and drank some water.
After drinking the water, she picked up the manual again.
The book was closed, and she didn't pay attention to which page she had just read, so she had to start looking for it.
Erxue reminded: "Page 7 says 'Highway law enforcement officers must not leave their posts without permission.'"
Meng Qingyin turned to page 7 and found that she had indeed stopped there.
She was a little surprised. "I only read it once and you remembered it?"
Erxue nodded.
Meng Qingyin was shocked by its powerful memory. It remembered it after only listening to it once?
She then asked Daxue, "Daxue, if I read the contents of the book to you again, can you remember it?"
Daxue had just fallen asleep just by listening to her reading. Now when she heard her master calling her, she tried to open her eyes wide: "No, I feel sleepy when I hear you reading."
Seeing that it was so sleepy that it could hardly open its eyes, Meng Qingyin said helplessly: "Go to sleep."
Daxue tilted his head and fell asleep leaning against the wall.
It seems that the two Xues are different in both personality and ability.
Daxue is serious about his work, has his own pursuits, and will work tirelessly to achieve his goals.
Erxue is a little follower following Daxue, and he has a strong memory.
It seems that Erxue is indeed more suitable to enforce the law on her behalf.
"Erxue, let's continue studying."
It took Meng Qingyin less than an hour to read the entire law enforcer manual to Erxue.
After reading, Meng Qingyin asked, "Have you memorized everything?"
Erxue nodded confidently, "I'll remember."
Meng Qingyin flipped a page at random. "Okay, let me test you. What is the unsafe driving behavior described on page 17?"
Erxue replied fluently: "You can't park in a no-parking zone."
Meng Qingyin felt relieved. She even remembered the specific content of each page, so there would be no problem.
But there is still a problem, that is about punishment.
The punishment should vary from person to person. For those players who humbly accept it and are willing to correct their mistakes, the punishment can be reduced.
Those who are arrogant and refuse to admit their mistakes will be punished accordingly.
There is another category that has strange and bizarre props, which also require specific analysis based on the specific situation.
This requires consideration of Erxue's flexible handling ability.
She explained all this to Erxue in detail, and Erxue said she understood.
Meng Qingyin was excited: "Then why don't you try law enforcement tomorrow?"
No matter how much you say, it’s all just talk. The most effective training is to go out and enforce the law.
Erxue had no objection. The only thing that bothered him was that he would not be able to stay with Daxue if he went out to enforce the law.
But when it remembered what Daxue had said about letting it stand on its own, it put its reluctance behind it.
That night, Meng Qingyin slept particularly soundly.
The next morning, she purchased the substitute rights and let Erxue officially take her place.
Erxue's body is chubby and round, and she definitely can't fit into her uniform.
Meng Qingyin sent a message to 007: "007, can you give me another uniform? I purchased the stand-in privileges and want my pet to enforce the law on my behalf."
007: [Okay, I will give you a uniform.]
Meng Qingyin waited patiently for a while, and then an email from 007 arrived, which was a brand new uniform.
She handed the uniform to Erxue, who put it over her head awkwardly.
After putting on the uniform, Meng Qingyin told Erxue how to start and end law enforcement, and then completely handed over the law enforcement work to it.
Meng Qingyin came to the yard and saw Uncle Li leisurely drinking tea under a tree.
There was the sound of cooking in the kitchen. It was Li Tieniu busying himself.
Seeing Meng Qingyin wake up, Blacksmith Li greeted her: "Xiao Meng, did you sleep well last night?"
