Hungry or not, do they think Song Gong cannot tell?

They were just too embarrassed.

Song Gong put his arms around the two people’s shoulders and said with a smile: “You don’t need to blame yourself. This thing has nothing to do with you. They are just too greedy and unwilling to pay corresponding labor. So naturally, they will fail to get what they want. But you two are different. And that is why I am willing to accept you as my apprentice.”

The two people’s eyes lit up and asked: “You said that you will accept us as your apprentice, is it true?”

Song Gong laughed and said: “Of course it is true. Although I am not a gentleman, as a man, my words can be counted. You two, starting today, you are now a member of my Song Family. You’re officially one of us.”

When the two heard of this, they were full of excitement. This is the opportunity they been dreaming of. Even after doing free hard work for many days, they didn’t dare to ask joining the team. They only hoped to learn some techniques for building a house. But now that they were part of this team, can they still have a hard time to find a job? Also, do they still need to depend on the two acres of this field to support their family?

With their excitement, the two was ready to kneel on the ground. But, Song Gong stopped them in a hurry: “You don’t have to do this. I don’t need you to do this. As long as you study hard and work hard, nothing else matters.”

The two men nodded their heads as their eyes redden. The excitement they felt cannot be described by words.

Bai Zhi came over with two large bowls. Each bowl was stuffed with four hot steam bread. She stuffed it to the hands of the two men and said: “Go home and eat, then share this good news to your family. Let them also be happy.”

Looking at the warm foods in their hands, the two people’s eyes redden and could no longer hold their tears.

The reason why they were so desperate to learn is to make their family’s life a bit better. Their wife and children were only eating wild vegetable soup. They all looked thin and malnourished. They couldn’t continue seeing them live this. They wanted to learn new things to have a better future. Just like this bread, he could no longer remember when was the last time he had eaten this.

“Alright, alright, thank you, Song Gong, thank you for your kindness. Your kindness, we understand it well, we will not let you down.”

Looking at this scene, Village Chief Li was very moved. If most of the people in Huangtou Village can be as kind and hardworking as Wu Jing and Li Cheng, how good must it be, right?

Village Chief Li looked at the back of the little girl, his heart felt warm. He knows he didn’t help the wrong person. This little girl was very good and better than he thought.

She is clever and intelligent. She does things with a sense of proportion. She knows when to retreat and when not. Although her tongue is sharp, she is very kind and good.

He suddenly thought of his 16-year-old grandson. He is now at the age of marriage and his family is looking for a bride. He found a few candidates, but he was not satisfied with them. It’s not that their appearance is bad, it’s actually good.

According to the requirements of his elder brother, the girl must not only be beautiful but also smart and cheerful. Isn’t the little girl in front of him the ideal candidate of his elder brother?

Village Chief Li’s heart was filled with excitement. The more he thinks about it, the more he gets excited.

When Bai Zhi and Hu Feng finished distributing the lunch, he rushed forward and pulled Bai Zhi on the side, then whispered: “Zhi’er, tell uncle honestly, are you and Hu Feng set a marriage?” After all, they live and eat together. It’s only natural to ask to make it clear.
