Chapter 72 Empty
At noon, Tao Weicheng came to the shop and asked Tao Zuoran and his party to go back for lunch, while he stayed to guard the shop.
Brother and sister Tao Weizi and Tao Qingbi wanted to stay and guard the shop, but Tao Weicheng declined them politely: "I came here for lunch. You guys went back and had lunch. Come over early to accompany me."
Tao Weizi and Tao Qingbi returned home and had lunch together in the kitchen. The brother and sister hurried to the store.
When Tao Weicheng saw them coming back so quickly, he immediately laughed: "Everyone is having a meal now, and there are no people on the street. Forget it, you are all back, let's warm ourselves by the fire together."
Tao Weizi sat down next to Tao Weicheng and asked: "Brother, Ying Ziqi will take the child examination next year, will you sign up for it?"
"I signed up, and the master said that if I take the exam to test my courage, I'm very lucky. I might be able to pass the exam."
Tao Weicheng now only wants to learn crafts from his elders in the family, and is not that interested in studying. However, Tao Zuoliang insists that he study for one more year, saying that even if he fails to win the first prize, he can still understand some principles of life.
"Brother, will Brother Fu Ping take the exam next spring?" Tao Weizi asked Tao Weicheng curiously.
"I haven't heard anything about him now, and he's not very old."
Tao Weicheng would not tell his younger brothers at home that Fu Ping had no intention of studying, but the elders of Fu's family and Tao's family both believed that they should study more, so they had to restrain their temper and stay in school for another year or two.
"Brother, it's good to study. Our wife said that our families are willing to support us in studying because they are discerning families." Tao Qingbi looked at Tao Weicheng and said seriously.
Seeing the serious look on his sister's face, Tao Weicheng smiled and pulled her hair with his fingers: "It's a pity that you are a girl, otherwise as long as you are willing to study, your family will definitely allow you to continue studying."
"Brother, it's good for us to do this. The Master said that as long as we are willing to study, whether we are in the school or not will not affect our study. When we study with the Master in the school, what we learn is intangible than tangible.
I have already thought about it, I don’t need to take the exam to get a reputation, I just study hard in the school for a few years, I only need to learn half of the skills of the masters, and I can still make money."
When Tao Weicheng and Tao Weizi were about to clapped their hands, they heard Tao Qingbi's words behind them. They looked at each other and stretched out their hands to the stove. Tao Weicheng said with some regret: "Niuniu, what are you superfluous? You just ended up last
Those words are words that shouldn’t be said.”
Tao Qingbi stared at him: "Brother, we learned different things. The skills we learned from Master must be put into practical use in the end. I was not wrong."
Brother Tao Weicheng looked at each other again, and Tao Weicheng sighed: "Our Niuniu is an honest child, but she is a little too honest. Niuniu, kind words will warm you in the winter, your words will hurt your wife's heart.
Your master's ideas are probably different from yours. They are people who want to help the world, and they will not be happy with your too worldly statement."
"Oh, I understand. The Master said that although we are girls, we must also have the ability to establish ourselves in the world. In this way, even if life is precarious in the future, we can still walk through the most difficult road in life without panic or courage.
.”
Tao Weizi and Tao Weicheng whispered: "Brother, she understands a lot of truths now, and we can't argue with her. The more truths the master says, although she can't understand them, she is the best at swallowing them down and writing them down."
"Okay, what you said makes some sense. We have studied for many years, but in the end we really can't get any honors, and we can't starve ourselves to death. We still have to apply what we have learned."
Tao Weicheng was still the brother who felt sorry for his sister, and finally said soft words to her, which made Tao Qingbi roll her eyes: "I heard what you said, huh, Master said it, we can't understand what they said now, and it doesn't matter much."
, just write down what they said.
Some people will understand what they say one day, and some people may never understand it in their lifetime. They hope that we are lucky and don’t have to understand what they say all our lives.”
Tao Qingbi said proudly at the end: "Only our master is as good as yours. Your master will definitely not treat you like this. They must study hard and remember all the principles clearly. We don't have to."
We don’t have to take the exam for merit.”
Brother Tao Weicheng didn't even notice his sister's proud look. They both turned to look at the door of the shop: "It's getting late, let's go to the backyard and have a look."
As they talked, they got up and walked to the backyard. Tao Qingbi didn't bother to follow them. She sat firmly by the stove. When Tao Zuoran and the others came back, she greeted them with a happy expression on her face.
Before Shen Shi, Tao Zuoran and the others renovated the roofs of the backyard and front yard, replacing more than ten green tiles. The three of them came down from the roof. Fu Laoliu and his men left immediately. He was worried about staying a little longer.
, there will be more things happening tomorrow.
Brothers Tao Zuoran and Tao Weicheng tidied up the backyard. When they returned to the front yard, they saw Tao Qingbi already discussing the prices in the shop with customers.
After Tao Zuoran arrived, after listening to the customer's counter-offer, he thought for a while and sighed: "We have something to do at home, so we haven't opened the door for several months. This is your first business, and you want them all. Okay, that's it."
The price is given."
The customer said with a face full of joy: "I have been on this street several times, but I have never found anything that suits my eyes. The things in your store have been left for a few months, and I think they are okay."
Tao Zuoran was a little unhappy after hearing what the customer said: "These items are all carefully crafted by me and my brother. At this price, do you think it's just okay?"
The customer gave Tao Zuoran a thumbs up: "Master, your brothers are very good at craftsmanship, but your shop must always be open."
The shop was empty, so Brother Tao Weicheng took out the buckets from the warehouse in the backyard and placed them again and again in the shop, but they still seemed too monotonous.
Tao Weizi looked at Tao Qingbi for a while and asked: "Niuniu, you can only say good things from now on, but you are not allowed to say bad things again."
"Brother, I can only say good things and never say bad things. If you don't believe me, ask your father and mother."
Tao Zuoran delivered the goods to the street. When he returned to the shop, he saw the buckets scattered everywhere. He felt a little headache and said: "Putting two or three buckets is enough to let customers know that the store has goods. Put so many buckets here.
When guests come, they will only misunderstand that our family will specialize in buckets from now on."
"Second uncle, I will work with my father and third uncle tomorrow. You can put the buckets here first. If you put two or three buckets, others will think they are the owner's own buckets. We have moved all the buckets out of the warehouse. We specialize in buckets, which is better than
