Li Chang'an originally wanted to hire a nanny to take care of Xiaoya.
Unexpectedly, the system suggested that he take on apprentices.
Furthermore, you'll be rewarded with a resurrection coin, which is equivalent to having a second life.
It seems like this is a conscientious system.
Looking at the rewards given by the system, Li Chang'an's gaze softened considerably when he looked at Xiao Xiao.
He said softly, "Xiaoxiao, I see that you are naturally intelligent and that we are destined to be together. I would like to take you as my disciple. Would you be willing?"
Xiao Xiao held the wooden bowl, staring blankly at Li Chang'an.
The words "I'll take you as my disciple" echoed in her ears.
From as far back as she can remember, she was disliked by her parents, who then took her to the mountains and left her to fend for herself.
She cried so hard that no one paid any attention to her, and she was almost carried off by a wolf.
Her grandfather went up the mountain to chop firewood and found her. The two of them depended on each other for survival.
Later, the river breached its banks, and my grandfather led me on a long escape, eventually arriving here.
A few days later, Grandpa died.
I became a person again.
She couldn't understand why God was so unfair.
She hasn't done anything wrong, so why is she doing this to herself?
Being bullied.
I'm hungry.
The firewood was stolen.
He fell from the tree.
The house is leaking, and I can't sleep because I'm so cold.
I gritted my teeth and persevered each time, thinking I would have to live like this forever.
Unexpectedly, someone appeared and said they wanted to take him as their apprentice.
This left her rooted to the spot, afraid to move, as if she were dreaming.
The moment I moved, the dream ended.
Seeing that she didn't react, Xiong Er quickly pressed her down to kneel, saying, "You silly child, what are you still standing for? Hurry up and agree."
The little girl knelt on the ground, her mouth pursed, and she burst into tears.
"Waaaaah..."
She cried very softly, as if she were suppressing her sobs.
Li Chang'an couldn't bear to see a woman cry, so he picked her up and gently patted her back. "Don't cry, don't cry, be good."
"Waaaaah... I... I... I'm willing."
"Beep, the host has successfully recruited an apprentice. The task is complete and the reward has been issued."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Li Chang'an looked at the resurrection coins in his backpack and laughed loudly.
No more worries about safety!
He kicked the wooden bowl on the ground away and felt a sense of relief.
"Go to hell."
Li Chang'an picked up Xiao Xiao and said, "From now on, you will be my apprentice. By the way, what is your surname?"
"I don't know?" Xiao Xiao shook her head and said, "Grandpa has always called me Xiao Xiao and hasn't given me a name, but I know that my grandpa's surname is Su."
In the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people generally did not have names, but nicknames. When they grew up, their nicknames were combined with their surnames to form their full names.
“We haven’t named her yet.” Li Chang’an thought for a moment and decided to give her a name.
"Then you'll also have the surname Su, and from now on you'll be called Su Xiao."
Li Chang'an took a tree branch and wrote her name on the ground.
"This is your name, remember it?" Li Chang'an pointed to the words on the ground and said to Xiao Xiao.
She nodded and said, "I've remembered. My name will be Su Xiao from now on."
Thinking of something, Li Chang'an wrote a few more characters and said, "A name, a name, you need a courtesy name too. Your master will give you the courtesy name Ping'an, hoping that you will be safe and sound in the future, okay?"
"good."
Xiao Xiao nodded, put her arms around Li Chang'an's neck, watched him write, and murmured her new name.
"Su Xiao, Su Ping'an."
The villagers nearby, seeing Li Chang'an writing on the ground, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
My goodness, this son-in-law is something else!
He can write.
Could he be a scholar?
No, he must be a scholar.
My God, no wonder there's so much food.
It turns out he was a book teacher.
In the Ming Dynasty, scholars held a very high social status.
Out of ten thousand people, perhaps not even one will be a bookworm.
All the scholars of the Ming Dynasty lived very well.
Not only were they exempt from taxes, but they also received subsidies from the imperial court, receiving rice, flour, cloth, and other necessities every month.
Therefore, in the eyes of the villagers, scholars not only represented a noble status, but also meant that they would never have to worry about food and drink in their lives.
Thinking of this, they all looked at Daya with envy.
Unexpectedly, this girl was so lucky to find a scholar as her husband.
The more they looked, the more envious they became, to the point of being somewhat jealous.
Even Cuihua couldn't help but feel jealous of Daya, saying, "You girl, you must have had some good fortune in your family to marry a scholar. You're living a life of pure bliss from now on."
Da Ya looked at her husband and felt happier and happier.
My husband can not only conjure up rice, but he can also read and write, and he doesn't mind having two children with him.
Unlike me, I don't know anything, I don't even dare to speak loudly to others, and I work slower than others.
Da Ya was a little worried, fearing that her husband would find her stupid and abandon her.
Li Chang'an was unaware of Daya's anxieties and spoke generously to the villagers.
"Today is the day I get married to Daya, and it's also the day I receive my first apprentice, so everyone, please stay for a meal."
After all, this is their first marriage in two lifetimes, so they should at least have a banquet to show their appreciation.
"Everyone, please help out. We'll provide a full meal today. If you're free tomorrow, you can come and help me build a new house. Otherwise, it's too crowded for our whole family to live here."
