This time, even though the blacksmith shop was filled with the sound of hammering steel, Su Qin's words still reached everyone's ears very clearly.

Most of the blacksmiths stopped their work and looked at Su Qin with a kind smile. Blacksmithing is one of the lowest professions. These blacksmiths all come from poor families and rely on their strength and craftsmanship to make a living. Although they look rough, most of them are extremely kind.

The big man who spoke before looked Su Qin up and down and said with a smile: "Kid, look at your thin little body, what can you do? You'd better go home and stay for a few more years before coming back! Let's go quickly, so It’s too late and your parents should worry.”

Hearing the big man mention the word "parents", Su Qin's expression darkened obviously. Yes, most children of his age are nestled in the arms of their parents at this time, right?

Su Qin raised his head, held back the tears that were about to fall from his eyes, and said loudly: "Uncle, I have no parents, I am a little beggar, I have never seen my parents since I was born, and I don't know what they look like.

The old beggar who raised me also passed away not long ago. How can I, a little beggar, live in this world?

I often miss my last meal. I haven’t eaten for three days now...

I thought this was not an option, so I thought about finding an apprentice to support myself, but none of those people wanted me...Uncle, can you give me a chance?

Don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble. I can serve you tea and water. I don't need wages. As long as I have food to eat and a place to live, that's all! "

After listening to Su Qin's words, look at what he looks like now, with only a piece of clothing full of holes barely covering his body. Although there are no tears left, his eyes are already red and his nose is full of tears. His face looked very pitiful.

This immediately aroused the sympathy of these big men. Thinking about their childhood, although they were also very poor, at least it was much better than Su Qin's.

Seeing Su Qin's appearance, these big men estimated that if they did not take him in, the child would die in a deserted corner within a few days.

"Boss..." A burly man looked at the man who spoke before and shouted. Although he didn't say what he said later, they all understood what he wanted to express.

The blacksmiths who had not stopped before stopped at this time. They all looked at Su Qin with complicated eyes, and finally looked at the tall and handsome man at the head.

At this time, all the blacksmiths looked at the burly man at the head. After all, this shop belonged to him. Whether he wanted to keep it or not, they had to listen to him in the end.

The sturdy man looked at Su Qin with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a while, he nodded and said, "In that case, then you can stay!"

Seeing the boss making a decision, these blacksmiths also showed a smile of relief on their faces.

Su Qin was very happy when he heard this, as this would solve the problem of eating in the future.

"Uncle, thank you!" Su Qin bent down at 90 degrees and thanked him respectfully.

Seeing this, the sturdy man felt a little happy. It seemed that his decision was not wrong.

The big man nodded and said: "Get up, from now on, you will be my apprentice here. You can work as a handyman for us. You should be able to do things like serving tea and water. You will have enough to eat, and there will be a place for you." Go to sleep, but I don’t keep idle people here, if you can’t do it, just leave by yourself!”

After all, you have to make money when opening a shop. Although the big man sympathizes with Su Qin, if he really wants to support him in vain, he still can't do it. After all, he is not a philanthropist.

Su Qin wiped the snot and tears from his face and said in a positive tone: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"

The big man smiled, put down what he was doing, brought a bowl of porridge to Su Qin, and said, "There is still some leftover porridge here. You should take a few bites to fill your stomach!"

Su Qin took the bowl and said, "Thank you, uncle."

As he said that, Su Qin was not afraid of being burned and drank heavily. He looked very ugly while eating.

Seeing this, the big man smiled and said: "Hahaha, don't be anxious, take your time, there is still more in the pot."

Seeing this, the other big men also showed kind smiles.

"Uh-huh…"

Su Qin, who was drinking porridge, agreed vaguely. Seeing this, the big men laughed even more happily.

The sturdy man glared at everyone and said, "Why are you laughing? Hurry up and finish the work in hand, so that you can go back to accompany your wife. If you want to live up to your expectations, ask your wife to give birth to you."

The big men smiled when they heard this, then retracted their gazes, and continued to pick up the hammers and start the work at hand. As long as they finish the work at hand, they can call it a day.

Putting the pot in front of Su Qin, the tall man returned to his work station and continued to work on the hoe he was almost finished.

The big man raised the forging hammer in his hand, and while doing the final finishing work, he said to Su Qin: "My name is Shi San, Shi of Shi, you can call me Uncle San. This blacksmith shop is passed down from my family. From now on, you can Even if you live here, I will pay for your daily meals. I won’t cheat you. I will give you five more copper soul coins every day. If the benefits are good, I will give you a little more. You can start working again tomorrow. .Oh, by the way, do you have a name?

"Third uncle, my name is Su Qin." Su Qin put down the bowl in his hand and raised his head.

Although they only ate the leftover porridge from before, the taste was much better than those of grass, leaves and the like. And the amount was enough, just enough for him to eat.

Shi San nodded and said: "Okay, I'll call you Xiao Su from now on. Xiao Su, you can rest there for a while. After I finish the work at hand, I will find you some cleaner clothes. By the way, I’ll arrange a place for you to stay for the night.”

Su Qin nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Third Uncle. Oh, by the way, does Third Uncle have water?"

"Yes, there is water in the kitchen inside. If you want to drink it, just go and get it yourself. Just put the pots and bowls in the kitchen." Shi San thought Su Qin wanted to drink water, and pointed to the kitchen and said .

Su Qin nodded, said hello, and walked towards the kitchen with the small pot and bowl used to hold the leftover porridge. Although Shi San said that he could work again tomorrow, Su Qin would not be really stupid enough to work there tomorrow. Start working, after all, this is what he is asking for, and he should try his best to help with what he can do.

Su Qin entered the kitchen and looked at the slightly messy kitchen. Without saying anything, he started washing the pots and dishes and cleaning the kitchen with a rag hanging on the side.
