Fight the Giants

Chapter 422: make an exception

   Seeing Huo Sanhe's request to send his youngest son to the workshop school, Mrs. Yang was stunned.

   I don't know where Huo Sanhe got the news from. It was a headache. Justified: "That workshop, that workshop does not belong to my family."

  Huo Sanhe rubbed his hands nervously, "I don't know anything, I won't tell anyone."

  He didn't expect that his second elder brother, who married into someone else's family, would already be so capable. He heard someone call the second brother's owner, and guessed that the workshop either belonged to his second brother or had a great relationship with his second brother.

  Huo Sanhe thought that his family had been working in the fields with their backs to the sky and the soil for so many years, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

  But I also know that this has nothing to do with his second brother.

  Now he can secretly hide some money, save it for his eldest son to marry him, and save some dowry for his two daughters, which is much better than before when he could not save a penny.

  If he could send his youngest son to read a few words, he really would have nothing else to ask for.

  Yang knows that if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be countless troubles.

   Glancing at Huo Cang who was standing next to Huo Sanhe, looking at him expectantly, he felt a headache.

"Have you thought about it, if Huo Cang is sent to the school, your eldest brother's family, fourth brother's family and Wu Niang's family all have sons, which one can Erhuai accept? Or all of them? The workshop is over there. Where does he live, where does Huo Cang live after school at night?"

   Seeing Yang's looseness, Huo Sanhe hurriedly said: "If he enters school, I will rent a small courtyard or shanty in the outer city for him to live in, and I won't bother my second brother and sister-in-law."

   Huo Xuan sent fish to the restaurant in the inner city, and went by himself. His father said that he would take his younger brother to deliver fish to his second aunt, but he didn't think too much about it. After the goods were delivered, he went to Qionghua Lane to pick them up and go back together.

  At the door, I saw Huo Xi coming back from the shop.

  This cousin is dressed in male attire, and she is obviously younger than him, but he just dare not look directly at her, feeling puzzled in his heart.

   "Xiao Xi is back?"

   Seeing him pushing an empty cart, Huo Xi smiled and nodded towards him. After asking him a few words, we entered the house with him.

  Arrived in the house, seeing Huo Sanhe and Huo Cang also there, he was stunned. After hearing the reason, Huo Xi frowned almost invisibly.

   "Father!" Huo Xuan almost touched his forehead after hearing this.

   He also said why Dad asked others to help watch the boat. It turned out that he brought his younger brother to ask his second aunt to come.

   "Father, the workshop is full of children of those who work in it, and we don't work in it, how can we send Huo Cang in."

  Hearing this, Huo Cang lowered his head, pursed his mouth tightly, and looked frustrated.

  Mr. Yang couldn't see the child suffering, so she felt a little soft-hearted, and looked at Huo Xi.

  Huo Xi let out a bad breath: "The workshop belongs to Guangfeng Shuidong's family. My uncle is just the second shopkeeper, helping to manage it. The children in the school are the children of the workshop craftsmen and female workers. If you don't work in it, it is not easy to make an exception."

   "Then can I also work in it? Or let your third aunt and your two cousins ​​go in and work, and their female workers can do it too."

  The three of them, father and son, came out, but the three of them, the wife and daughter, were still busy at home with the family's ten acres of land. He felt sorry for them. The eldest daughter is thirteen years old, and it's time to stay at home and wait for her relatives, but she is still busy in the field, scorched by the sun.

  Looking at the daughter of the second elder brother in front of him, who was raised like a wealthy lady from a wealthy family, he was envious in his heart and wanted to do something for the two daughters.

  Huo Xi didn't want to cause trouble for the Huo family.

   "Not to mention whether grandma can let them out, but when a bunch of people come to look for my father, can my father take them all into the school? Can he put them all into the workshop?"

  Huo Sanhe still wanted to argue, but he also knew that what she said was the truth. Feeling a little down.

  Huo Xuan felt a little uncomfortable. He had no chance to read, but now that his younger brother had a chance, his father begged for help in a low voice, but he just wanted his younger brother to read a few words.

Seeing Huo Xi's resolute attitude, Mrs. Yang helped to ease the situation: "You father and son will work harder for a month, and you will be able to save some money. Just send Huo Cang to the school at that time. If there is any difficulty with the money, come I'll borrow some from Erhuaizhi later."

  Yang would rather borrow money from them than make an exception. If one exception is broken, countless troubles will follow.

   "The family will not let Cang'er go to the school."

  The family has not yet separated. If they found out that they secretly saved money to send their son to study, the family would be in trouble, and the three of them would not be able to do their current jobs.

   "Father, go back, don't embarrass the second aunt and cousin." Huo Xuan pulled Huo Sanhe and Huo Cang to leave.

  Huo Cang knew that things were not going to work, his eyes turned red immediately, and tears rolled down with his head down.

  Mr. Yang felt very uncomfortable watching it. He looked up at Huo Xi.

  Huo Xi stroked his forehead with a headache.

  The workshop is her own, and whether Huo Cang is allowed to enter depends on her words.

  If I reject them this time, I wonder if my parents will feel uncomfortable. If it wasn't for Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi, she and Nian'er wouldn't be where they are today. She didn't want them to feel bad.

   sighed: "Come back."

  Huo Cang was wiping his tears and didn't look at the road. His father pulled him sharply and almost fell to the ground.

  The father and son turned around and came back, looking hopeful.

"The workshop only accepts the children of artisans and female workers who work in it. If Huo Cang wants to go in, Brother Xuan, if you are willing to sign a ten-year contract with the owner of Guangfeng Shui and work for the owner of the workshop for ten years, I will help you." Intercede, let Huo Cang go in."

   "Why do you have to sign the contract?" Huo Sanhe was a little surprised.

   "It's not a physical contract, it's an employment contract. I will work for Guangfengshui for ten years, and the first year will be 500 yuan a month. Wherever I need to arrange where to go, I will raise wages according to performance later."

   "Okay, I promise."

  Huo Sanhe is still calculating this account. Now he and his two sons can secretly hide one or two taels of silver in January, and sometimes more than that. It's not worthwhile for my son to spend five hundred cash a month as a guy.

  As he was calculating, he heard his son nod his head in response. Some dumbfounded.

  Huo Xi was also a little dumbfounded. She specifically said that the hired workers had a long tenure, and wanted to persuade them to leave, but Huo Xuan unexpectedly agreed. It made her a little unhappy.

   Seeing Huo Cang's surprised face, he had no choice but to find the **** by himself.

"Huo Cang entered the school, lived in the workshop, and helped out in the workshop in his spare time. Don't go back to Huojiaba in the future if you have nothing to do. Just tell the family to send him as an apprentice. Brother Xuantang will go to the city tomorrow and go to Ningbo with the boat Let’s ship the goods. In the future, we will **** the goods with Guangfengshui’s fleet. Where to go depends on the arrangement of the shop.”

   After finishing speaking, he looked at Huo Sanhe: "As for your passenger boat, whether third uncle can work alone is your business. You can ask third aunt to help, or return it to my father. You can discuss it yourself."

   Huo Xiba talked a lot, and the father and son couldn't digest it.

  Huo Sanhe has no objection to the arrangement of the two sons, but... "I haven't earned the money to pay your father back for the boat, I can do it by myself."

  Huo Sanhe doesn't want to give up the job of a passenger boat. On the one hand, he can solicit passengers, carry goods, and can catch fish and sell them for money when there are no guests, and he doesn't worry about sales. In his opinion, there is no better way out than that.

  Huo Xi nodded, all right, if you want to do it, keep doing it. The brothers can get on with their lives, and her father probably has less to worry about.

   After seeing off the father and son, the mother and daughter sat in the room and looked at each other, sighing in unison.
