Yu Qishi thought that Zhao Ping didn't know, but he didn't expect that his son-in-law had already thought of it.
But thinking about it is one thing, solving it is another.
"What's the plan?" Yu Qishi asked anxiously as he took a sip of tea.
Chen Dalang went back happily while pouring the jar. Instead of being happy, his father Chen Xiazi sighed.
Blind Chen looked at him and stretched out his hand to throw his book away.
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the pouring can, he took back his hand and simply said: "The burden on the family is heavy again."
"Chen Dalang has studied, and Zhang Dalang and Zhang Erlang also want to study." His second wife, Chen Zhang, quit her job.
Zhang Dalang was two years older than Guopu Can, and Zhang Erlang was about the same age. Of course, his second wife had to fight for his son.
Blind Chen gritted his teeth a few times and twitched his face a few times before he had to agree.
Blind man Chen is not really blind, he is just blind in half of his eyes and the other eye is good.
The reason why half of my eyes are blind is that when I was cutting pigweed when I was a child, I was blinded by a sickle while playing with my friends.
Fortunately, he escaped quickly and his other eye survived. From then on, he was nicknamed the blind man.
Chen Xiazi was blind in one eye, which had a great impact on his marriage. His ex-wife was frail and sick, and she died leaving her five children behind.
After his ex-wife died, he also had two sons and two daughters from his second marriage, and they were two years older than him.
There were enough children, but not enough. Chen Xiazi and his second wife gave birth to two more sons.
Not only does he have many children, but he also has parents who are already in their late sixties and rely on him to support them in their old age.
For regrouped families, the family cannot survive without biological children.
Blind Chen took a breath and looked at the dozens of large and small mouths at home, as well as the porridge in the bowl that could reflect people's shadows.
He suddenly had five thoughts: "Can I sell two of them? Not only will I make money, but I will also live a much easier life."
Blind Chen was startled by his own thoughts, and he had the idea of selling his son or daughter.
Selling one's own children seems reluctant, so selling the other's children seems even more unfeasible.
After much deliberation, I still had no choice but to continue.
How can we feed so many people?
Blind Chen's eyebrows were almost wrinkled together, and white hair sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Dang, Dang, Dang" the gong sounded again.
"Are you here to collect taxes again? Close the door quickly." Blind Chen immediately shouted.
Aunt Chen was fourteen years old and was old enough to be let into another household. She immediately closed the door after hearing this.
She was still uneasy and secretly looked through the crack in the door to see what the mayor was doing.
Liu Liang'an, the head of the village, was beating the gong while looking at the thatched house of Chen Xiazi.
Blind Chen's house only has six rooms in total, as well as a room for raising pigs, chickens and ducks. I don't know how they live there.
"Dang, Dang, Dang" he shouted at the top of his voice while beating the gong: "The Chen family heard that Zhaojiazhuang has set up two workshops in Jingyan, one is a toothbrush workshop and the other is a fairy match workshop. Now they are recruiting A craftsman's monthly salary is about three thousand dollars."
The sound reached the house clearly, and Aunt Chen was about to open the door, but Blind Man Chen stepped forward to stop her.
Liu Liangan saw that the door was still closed tightly, and he didn't know what they were thinking.
"The recruitment requirement is under forty. Men must be over fifteen and women over thirteen. Opportunities are rare and don't wait until the time comes." Liu Liangan continued to yell.
Blind Chen's voice came from the crack in the door: "Liu Lizhang, you are not visiting our store just to collect taxes."
"You are a liar, I swear here." Liu Liang'an shouted from outside the door, "Blind Chen, if I didn't sympathize with you, I wouldn't tell you."
The door creaked open, and the head that poked out was the special sign of Blind Man Chen, a half-blind man.
He looked at Liu Liang'an with his good eye, and asked with some confusion: "Liu Li, I wonder if it's okay for me to go?"
"How old are you this year?" Liu Liang'an stopped beating the gong and looked at him and asked.
"The villain is less than thirty-five today." Blind Chen was extremely worried. After all, although he was not over forty, he was blind in one eye, so wouldn't he be excluded?
Liu Liangan thought for a while, and Blind Chen became anxious and asked hurriedly: "Is it possible?"
He is the backbone of the family. How can the family support him without being able to enter the workshop?
"Your eyes are still good, there is no problem, you can go and try." Liu Liangan looked at Blind Chen, nodded and said.
Blind Chen couldn't believe this was true and asked worriedly, "I'm blind."
"It doesn't matter, you still have one good eye, and you're not really blind." Liu Liang'an pointed in the direction of the two workshops in Zhaojiazhuang and said, "Hurry up and sign up, otherwise you won't have a chance if you're late."
I heard that blind Chen can do it, so his step-wife and two daughters who are over thirteen years old also poked their heads out and bowed to Liu Liangan Wanfu: "Liu Chang, I wonder if the slave family can do it?"
"Sure, it's all ok. Females are between thirteen and forty years old. Hurry up and go." Liu Liang'an looked at the three of them and nodded in agreement.
The four of them walked ten miles and came to the Huaxi River. Zhaojiazhuang had built two large workshops here. Hundreds of people had already signed up.
Now people are talking a lot, some acquaintances are greeting each other, the topic is, there are so many people, can the workshop still recruit people?
Blind Chen heard that the people in Jingyan were very xenophobic, and wondered if Zhaojiazhuang could take root in Jingyan?
If they cannot take root and are squeezed out by the Jingyan people, what will they, the poor, do?
Blind Chen kept worrying about gains and losses, and his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkled.
The crowd was so noisy that Blind Chen stopped thinking and looked at the group of people.
Blind Chen saw a group of people dressed in colorful clothes. Who were they?
The crowd was chaotic, but with this group of colorfully dressed people, order quickly became orderly.
When he saw Liu Yong, an acquaintance from the village, he bowed his hands and asked, "Who are these people wearing colorful clothes? They have a good background."
Liu Yong was a little stunned. Blind Chen didn't even know this.
Suddenly he thought that this blind man Chen only knew how to work in the fields. Because he was blind, he was generally unwilling to travel far away, which was understandable.
"They are the Zhaojiazhuang Security Group, and they defeated the 100,000 Hu army. This workshop is also run by Zhaojiazhuang." Liu Yong told him.
It turns out that Zhaojiazhuang is so powerful. Not only did it defeat the security team, but it also established a workshop.
Zhaojiazhuang is backed by a security group, so it seems that the chance of being squeezed out by the Jingyan people is very small.
Yu Qikun is the brother of Yu Qishi, a worker in Taoyuan Town, and the uncle of Yu Mo Yan.
He is not old, about thirty-five years old, in the prime of life.
There is also a man around him who is about the same age as him. His name is Huang Zhihuan. He is the brother of the original village owner Huang Zhizhao and the uncle of Yu Moyan.
Both of them are still civil servants, but they have been studying for less than ten years, so of course they are still scholars.
Yu Moyan sent the two of them here, planning to arrange for them to be the shopkeepers of the toothbrush and fairy match workshops.
The two of them are also responsible for recruiting craftsmen on site, and each selects the craftsmen they need.
They set up several desks here and kept checking the people who came to sign up.
Yu Qikun and Huang Zhihuan were strict in selecting people, and they eliminated some people who were old, weak, sick, disabled or overage.
Therefore, some people who did not meet the conditions had to go back unhappy.
Those who were excluded breathed a sigh of relief when they saw someone being eliminated. There were fewer competitors and their opportunity had come.
The two of them were secretly surprised when they saw the man called Blind Chen in front of them.
This person's age is not a problem, but he is blind in one eye.
Huang Zhihuan was polite and said to Yu Qikun: "This Chen Laoshi should be from the toothbrush workshop. The toothbrush workshop just needs someone."
"This Chen Laoshi is in his prime, and he is honest. He is suitable for working in the Fairy Match Workshop." Yu Qikun bowed his hands and said to Huang Zhihuan.
Colleagues are enemies, and the people who come here to recruit workers also think the same way. Everyone wishes that others cannot enter the workshop and they can enter the workshop.
The salary in the Zhaojiazhuang workshop is so high. If one person enters the workshop, it is not a problem to support two or three people.
All these people have to come in even if they break their heads.
"It's a pity that this person is blind in one eye. The two shopkeepers pushed him back and forth, obviously they don't want this person." People, including Liu Yong, discussed one after another.
A man named Jin Ming felt strange when he saw Liu Yong being so sympathetic to Blind Chen. He couldn't help asking: "Why did you help him speak when your opportunity came before he entered the workshop?"
"He is a blind man, of course he deserves sympathy, and there are more than ten people in his family, and life is very difficult." Liu Yong looked at the man and replied calmly.
The man, Jin Ming, looked at Liu Yong, shook his head and said, "Which family doesn't have difficulties? Otherwise, why would you come to the workshop to find a way to make a living?"
Having said this, Jin Ming looked in front of him and said, "As expected, Blind Chen was rejected."
Liu Yong looked up and saw that Blind Chen had already knelt down in front of the two shopkeepers.
"Two shopkeepers, please be kind to me. There are still more than a dozen people in my family. There are two old people above me, and there are children below who are crying for food. I completely rely on the villain and his wife. Please be kind to the two shopkeepers."
When Blind Chen said this, he knelt down and kowtowed.
The two daughters of Chen Zhang and Chen Xiazi also kowtowed and asked the two shopkeepers to take them in.
Yu Qikun and Huang Zhihuan looked at each other, and Huang Zhihuan shook his head.
Yu Qikun looked at the family, stepped forward and saluted, and said to Blind Chen: "Chen Laoshi, we will recruit your wife and two younger ladies."
Blind Chen's two daughters and his second wife couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to Yu Qikun to express their gratitude.
Blind Chen couldn't help but be confused because Yu Qishi didn't mention him at all.
"Chen Laoshi, don't you still have fields at home? It's time to go back and farm the fields. This is also a livelihood." Yu Qikun said as if he was thinking for his sake while holding his hands.
"Shopkeeper, I don't have any land at home. I am a tenant. I rent other people's fields to work. Please be kind to me, shopkeeper, and let me enter the workshop." Blind Chen kowtowed and almost lost his voice. "What kind of life can a villain do if he can endure hardships?" You can do all the tiring work.”
Yu Qikun and Huang Zhihuan glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake their heads. Why is this blind man Chen so persistent?
At this time, Liu Yong felt his blood rushing to his brain for some reason. He came to Yu Qikun and Huang Zhihuan from behind, kowtowed and begged: "Two shopkeepers, please let Chen Laoshi enter the workshop." Woolen cloth?"
Yu Qikun looked at Liu Yong and was surprised that this man was interceding for someone else before he was admitted.
Yu Qikun felt that this man was commendable for his courage and righteousness, and was both moved and amused.
He gave Liu Yong a weak support to signal that Liu Yong did not need to kneel down, but Liu Yong still knelt beside Chen Xiazi and looked at Yu Qikun stubbornly.
Yu Qikun nodded, looked at it a few times, and asked, "Tell me your reasons."
Liu Yong knelt down and said, "Because he is blind."
"These are the reasons?" Yu Qikun couldn't help being disappointed and shook his head. He thought to himself, if this is the case, there is no need to say it.
Seeing Yu Qikun's obviously disappointed expression, Liu Yong raised his head and said, "The villain hasn't finished speaking yet. This is one of them."
"It's okay, please go on." Yu Qikun suddenly became interested, took a sip of tea and nodded.
"The key point is that his family is a combined family, and Mrs. Zhang is his second wife. If the second wife enters the workshop and he does not enter the workshop, it will have a great impact on the family. Please consider it." After Liu Yong finished speaking, it was Bang bang kowtow.
Yu Qikun and Huang Zhihuan looked at each other, hesitantly.
"Chen Laoshi can be admitted." A voice came over.
Everyone couldn't help but look towards the place where the voice came from. Who had the courage to say that Blind Chen could be admitted?
