Two or three things about the Duan family

After the rain break, the road can be walked a little bit after four days.

Most of the people's crops have been harvested, so this morning, Duan Hu got up early, and followed the villagers who were going to the town into Uncle Duan's carriage.

The door of the coffin shop is wide open, and it has already started to operate normally.

Duan Hu walked towards the coffin shop, and when he walked to the door, Duan Hu stopped suddenly. He wrinkled the door and saw a recruitment notice posted on the wall.

So... he was fired?

Think about it, it is indeed his fault for not coming for five days, but there is really no way for him to come.

Duan Hu walked in, and he explained to the shopkeeper that although the shopkeeper had a weird temper, he was not so unkind.

As soon as Duan Hu entered, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile. "Duan Hu, are you here?"

Duan Hu frowned and looked at him, it didn't look like he was going to fire him.

Nodded, "Well, it's the shopkeeper."

"That's good, that's good." Chao Duanhu, the shopkeeper, smiled enthusiastically, more enthusiastic than ever.

Duan Hu was even more puzzled.

"Well, this rain is really not the right time." The shopkeeper chatted with Duan Hu: "It delayed the farmers' farming work, and also caused our shop to be out of business for several days." Sighed, "I have been there In your village, the road is not easy to walk, I thought it would take a few days for you to come, but I didn't expect you to come today." The conversation changed, "It's good to come, it's good to come, these days can be piled up It's a lot of work."

Nodding, Duan Hu didn't go to work directly, but asked, "Shopkeeper, when I came in, I saw a recruitment notice posted on the door, what's going on?"

The shopkeeper sighed, and then said bitterly: "Before you, we had a master craftsman here with superb craftsmanship. Later, he asked for sick leave, so he invited you to do some small work, but I didn't expect it. I thought he was really sick, but I didn’t know that he went to work with our business rivals. They also opened a coffin shop in this town. Some big businesses were robbed by them. I had no choice but to hire another one. A skilled master."

After Duan Hu finished, most of them were sold to ordinary people, and those old masters were different.

After finishing speaking, afraid that Duan Hu would misunderstand, he explained: "Don't worry, you will still do what you did before, and the salary will not be any less for you."

Duan Hu understands that the shopkeeper wants to recruit someone who is good at craftsmanship, can do any complicated work, and has his own characteristics.

Duan Hu thought of Shi Xiaoshi. Just a few days ago, he went to Shi's house to propose a marriage. They were going to get married soon, but he still had nothing. Thinking about the less than ten taels of money he had saved, he What's more, there is no way to guarantee the food and clothing of his wife and children.

"Let me try it! The shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper who was flipping through the ledger raised his eyes, "You? Haven't you already stayed?"

"I mean I'll set up the shop."

The shopkeeper was taken aback. After getting acquainted with Duan Hu, he couldn't be as mean as he was at the beginning.After looking at Duan Hu for a while, I felt that Duan Hu didn't seem to be teasing him, so he finally nodded, "Okay then! I'll let you try, but... if it really doesn't work, I won't be sympathetic."

Duan Hu nodded.

Led by the shopkeeper, he came to a pile of coffins.

"Choose one."

"That's it." Duan Hu pointed to one of them.

The shopkeeper opened his eyes in surprise, "Duan Hu, you have to think clearly!"

Looking at Duan Hu's hand, it was a fine nanmu coffin.

"If it's ruined, you can't afford it."

Duan Hu nodded, of course he knew, but he also knew that a good coffin with exquisite and wonderful coffin paintings would be more valuable.

"If it's destroyed, I'll make it up with my wages."

The shopkeeper looked at him and shook his head. With Duan Hu's salary for three or four years, don't even think about it.

But Duan Hu didn't seem to change his mind.

After persuasion and persuasion, Duan Hu didn't listen, and he couldn't do anything - the notice was posted there, and everyone had the opportunity to come in and try it.

After sending the shopkeeper away, Duan Hu made a decision after thinking about it.

What Duan Hu is going to do this time is a wooden coffin.

Carving coffins has been developed in ancient Tang Dynasty, and later, the craft of carving coffins gradually developed very well.

Following the old carpenter, Duan Hu has seen many sarcophagi with intricate patterns on them, which Duan Hu has also learned.

Compared with the ancients, modern carved coffins are carved more carefully.

During this period of time, I learned about this time and space. Duan Hu didn't know what kind of dynasty this was, but thinking about it, it definitely didn't exist in the dynasty written in the history textbook-there was no race like brother in history.Here, the development of stone and wood coffins is very immature.

With this in mind, Duan Hu immediately made a decision.

The pattern Duan Hu wants to engrave is very traditional, and it is a commonly used picture of riding a crane to become a fairy.

On the same day, Duan Hu started to do it.

Because no one else came to try it except Duan Hu, the shopkeeper came to see it from time to time when he had nothing to do, and when Duan Hu finished part of it, the shopkeeper couldn't look away anymore.

"Exquisite craftsmanship, exquisite patterns, and meticulous knife work. Wonderful, wonderful." The shopkeeper stroked his beard.

Duan Hu continued without stopping, and Duan Hu only completed a small part when he went back as usual.

After returning, Duan Hu went to Shi Xiaoshi's house first.

Before entering the door, Duan Hu shouted: "Xiaoshi, Uncle."

Different from the past, today there is no voice of Aba Shi's loud voice answering him.

But Shi Xiaoshi ran out.

Following Shi Xiaoshi in, Duan Hu unexpectedly saw a tall and strong man. The man stared straight at Duan Hu when he saw him. His gaze made Duan Hu very uncomfortable.

"Xiaoshi, who is this? Why haven't I seen it before?" The man approached Shi Xiaoshi, saw Duan Hu, and asked provocatively.

Shi Xiaoshi seemed unbearable, and moved towards Duan Hu, "Cousin, this is Duan Hu."

Duan Hu's eyes flashed, and he thought of the three Jia Baodai who were cousins ​​but got mixed up together.

The man was still trying to get close to Shi Xiaoshi, Duan Hu felt that this matter must not be easy.Cousin is also on guard.

The man was very ignorant, he ignored Shi Xiaoshi's dodging, and still moved closer, although he kept getting closer to Shi Xiaoshi, but the distance was still regular, making it impossible to pick out anything.

Shi Xiaoshi was obviously upset, but he still endured it, anyone could see his displeasure, but the man turned a blind eye.

Shi Xiaoshi had no choice but to look at Duan Hu for help.

Duan Hu pulled Shi Xiaoshi up, "Your family's food is still in my house. Today you go and fix it with me. If you have time in a few days, you can move it back."

Shi Xiaoshi nodded, stood up hurriedly and followed Duan Hu.

"Stop." The man stood in front of the two of them, preventing them from leaving.Then he stared at Shi Xiaoshi, "It's getting dark, what does it look like to go out with a guy? Not sure."

"No? Why are you not allowed?" Duan Hu stepped forward.

"Why?" The man sneered, "I am his brother because of me."

"It's cousin." Shi Xiaoshi couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"No?" As soon as the voice fell, Duan Hu raised his fist and threw it at the man's basin-like face.

He couldn't bear it anymore, for a long time, this fucking grandson acted as if he didn't exist, tried his best to seduce his wife, in order not to embarrass Shi Xiaoshi, he endured it.But now he still cares about his wife?

Can this be tolerated?

Of course not.

The man hit harder and greeted Duan Hu's crotch directly. Duan Hu was not polite when the other party was like this, he raised his foot and kicked the man's crotch.

The man immediately curled up like a shrimp and rolled on the ground.

Duan Hu took the opportunity to punch and kick for a while, and the opponent couldn't beat him.

Seeing that Duan Hu was beating hard, Shi Xiaoshi hurriedly pulled him away, "Stop beating, stop beating, we'll go to your house. Leave him alone."

Duan Hu was puzzled and kicked him hard.

"Who is he?" After going out, Duan Hu was still puzzled.

Shi Xiaoshi replied in a low voice, "He is the son of my uncle whom I married."

"You don't like him?" Duan Hu asked.

"Abba lost his parents when he was young, and he was raised at his uncle's house. When he grew up, he was favored by his father, so his father went to his uncle's house to propose marriage. Unexpectedly, the family knew that there was a young uncle who was waiting to be married. I don’t want anything, I have to change relatives to agree to marry my father to my father. Grandpa didn’t like my brother, so he agreed. But I didn’t expect that the man my uncle married was a cripple. My uncle always felt that my father and the others owed him Yes, Dad and the others think so too." Shi Xiaoshi bit his lip and said. "So, it doesn't matter whether I like it or not, as long as Dad doesn't make things difficult, just bear with it."

Duan Hu thought for a while, "In this case, you can stay at my house tonight and don't go back."

Shi Xiaoshi's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he said embarrassedly, "We're not married yet, isn't that okay?"

Cousin will definitely stay at his home tonight. An unmarried man lives with him under the same roof. It's not good to be known. It's better to go to Duan Hu's house.

Anyway, no one in the village knows about him and Duan Hu.

In other words, he hasn't been to Duan Hu's house yet.
