my naughty female president

Chapter 218: Knocking on the door in the middle of the night

After entering the room, he and I sat on both sides of a black-lacquered square table. He picked up the teapot and poured water for me while saying: "Silver striking is a very boring job that requires a lot of patience. I have done it before. I took in several apprentices, but I drove them away in the end, because they were not suitable for this job at all! From the look on your face, you must be a person with experience, and you can probably calm down. Since If you want to learn this craft, I will teach you!"

I was overjoyed when I heard the words, picked up the tea on the table with both hands, brought it to him respectfully and said sincerely: "Master! Please drink tea!"

The old man smiled and said casually: "There is no need for this, the apostleship is not that important, but if you really want to learn, then learn it with your heart. The reason why I am so anxious to find an apprentice is actually because I want to master this craft. Pass it on! I am already old, if this craft is passed on to me and is broken, that would be a real crime!"

I was stunned again. I didn't expect the old man to have such thoughts. I think this is the power of inheritance. Although this folk craft seems to be nothing special, if it is lost, I am afraid I will never see it again in the future. Such a thing with the characteristics of a famous clan, what a pity that it is really like that...

So I became an apprentice in a silversmith's shop and moved out of the hotel, and I will live here with the old man from now on.

I followed others and called him Uncle Nine, while he called me Asheng!Although no one has ever called me that, it sounds kind.

On the day I moved out, the lake woman I rescued returned my coat to me.The light was dim that night and I didn't see her face clearly. When I saw her again, I couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

This is an extremely beautiful woman with fair skin and exquisite facial features, long hair like a waterfall and clear eyebrows and eyes, but her waist is a bit thicker, but of course this is because she is pregnant.

She thanked me for saving my life that night. Although her expression still looked distressed, I don't think she would go to extremes anymore.

Life seems to be exactly as I expected. I really settled down here. Maybe I have some unclear connection with this place. I don’t feel the altitude sickness that most people will have. I think this is probably the Buddha. The fate law that everyone said!
Hitting silver is actually not a difficult task, as long as the strength is properly mastered, you can get started quickly.After two days of learning, I can complete simple silver chopsticks by myself!Uncle Jiu is very satisfied with my performance.

Although it is not difficult to make, the most difficult thing is to engrave the decorations. Almost all accessories must be engraved, otherwise this thing will have no aesthetic feeling at all.

Even a pair of silver chopsticks are decorated with cloud patterns, which is the essence of Tibetan silver jewelry.

After nearly two months of learning, I gradually got some skills, but I only carved some simple things, and Uncle Jiu had to do the complicated ornaments by himself.

Although our shop is not on the side facing the street, and although there are two other shops in the town that specialize in Tibetan silver jewelry, we can still survive because we are purely handmade, and we will never find another one in this world. In the same way, we can also engrave some exclusive patterns or characters according to the requirements of customers, which is impossible for those finished product stores.

So our shop has never been short of tourists who come to visit us. Although the business is light, but fortunately it can survive.

The woman I rescued was never seen again, I thought she had left this place, but one thing happened a month later, that is, three months after I rescued her, let me understand, It turns out that she has always been in the small town, but I rarely go out without seeing her.

It was late at night, and Uncle Jiu and I had already fallen asleep.In my sleep, I seemed to hear someone knocking on the door. I thought I had heard it wrong, but the knocking sound came again after a while.This time I heard it clearly, but I am a little confused, who is here and what is going on at this late hour?

So I got up and turned on the light, put on my clothes and went to open the door, but when I opened the door, there was no one outside, which made me feel strange.

Just as I was about to go out to have a look, I suddenly saw a package by the door, and the package was covered with a thin layer of cotton cloth.But when I reached out to remove the layer of cotton, I couldn't help but stand on the spot.

There was indeed a package under the cotton cloth, but inside the package was a baby! ! !
The baby is sleeping soundly at the moment, and the two small hands are holding small fists and placing them next to the small face. The pink and tender little person doesn't know that he has been abandoned...

There is also a box next to the package, I don't know what it is!
My heart beat wildly, I picked up the baby and went to the road to look around, but there was no one left?
I panicked all of a sudden, not knowing what to do to get better.So in a panic, he reported the child back and woke Uncle Jiu up.

Uncle Jiu heard me briefly talk about the situation just now, and couldn't help but look solemn.

"It's because someone deliberately abandoned the child, but we are both men, why did you put this child in front of our door?" Uncle Jiu said with a frown.

Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, I suddenly thought of the pregnant woman three months ago, and my heart immediately became clearer.

So I told Uncle Jiu about what happened that day again, Uncle Jiu nodded slightly after hearing this, and said: "That's it, this child is probably born to the woman you saved, she probably won't be able to face the future life, I didn’t know anyone, so I left the child at our door!”

"Uncle Jiu, what should we do?" I was in a panic!

Uncle Jiu took the child and looked at it, then at me and said, "What are you going to do?"

Seeing that Uncle Jiu had no idea, I was even more flustered!
"I...I don't know!"

Uncle Jiu raised his head and sighed, and said after a long time, "What a poor child...he was born without parents! Ah Sheng!" Uncle Jiu turned to look at me and said, "I'm already an old man, I won't live much longer It's been a year, so I can't make a decision for you on this matter..."

"Then what should we do?" I asked eagerly.

"Now there are two options. One is that we keep him and raise him, but you have to treat him like your own child and raise him up! If you can't do this, then there is another option, which is us Send him to an orphanage where the staff will take care of him!"

Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment and then said: "But you have to make the final decision, because you haven't married a wife yet, if you take this child in, it may affect your future married life, and I let you make the decision reason!"

I was startled, I didn't expect Uncle Jiu to think so much in this moment!

Although his words are reasonable, he obviously still lacks understanding of me. After going through many things, now I have no plans to get married and have children. I don't think I will have such a day in my life.

What I'm worried about is that I don't have the slightest experience in raising a child, and the child looks less than a month old. I worry that if I don't take good care of one of them and the child has a good or bad situation, then I will really be to blame for death. And Uncle Jiu was already old, obviously unable to take care of the baby anymore.

So I told Uncle Jiu what I was thinking without any ambiguity.

After hearing this, Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, then let's send him to the orphanage tomorrow! Alas! Poor child!" Uncle Jiu sighed again...

I made up my mind, and my mood calmed down a lot, and I took the child over from Uncle Jiu again.

It was only then that I noticed a corner of a piece of paper was exposed in the child's package. I reached out and pulled out the paper, and saw that it read:
"Benefactor! Thank you for saving my life and the child's life last time. But I still don't have the courage to face all this. Maybe I'm too cowardly. I don't know what to do with the child in the future! I know that the benefactor is a good person. You even love to take in a stray dog! So I entrust the child to you selfishly, and hope that the benefactor can treat her as his own daughter and raise her up. As for the future life of the child, that is up to her If you want to blame it, blame her useless parents! My benefactor can rest assured that my life was saved by my benefactor, and I will not commit suicide again! If I have the courage to face all this in the future, maybe I will come back, or maybe never Yes! I will never forget the kindness of my benefactor!"

The letter paper with a few short lines is full of wet and dry marks, and some handwriting has been blurred. I can guess how difficult it was for the woman to write these words!

From the use of the word "she" in her letter, I can probably conclude that the child should be a girl.

I handed the letter paper to Uncle Jiu, put the baby in my arms and looked at it carefully, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart...

I opened the box to find a can of powdered milk and a small baby bottle, which was new and had probably never been used.

As for the statement on the letter that I take even a stray dog ​​softly, I think I should explain.

That was a month after I moved to the silversmith shop. It was also very late at night that day. I had already fallen asleep, but since I came out of the prison, my sleep has become extremely light, and I will wake up at the slightest movement.

That night it was the puppy’s barking that woke me up. I didn’t want to get up to find out what happened, but the puppy’s barking became more and more horrific, making it impossible for me to fall asleep, so I got up and went out to find the sound. go.

No one knew who had abandoned that puppy on the side of the road. Under the endless night sky, in the silent long street, that poor puppy was still shivering and screaming in horror.Makes me a little inexplicably sad!

So I went forward and hugged it back, and it stopped barking as soon as I picked it up, but whined softly, trembling in a very pitiful way!
After I carried it back, I found out that one of the hind legs of this puppy was injured. I don't know whether it was hit by something or was run over by a car. The bone in the hind leg was broken.

I looked at its pitiful appearance, so I tried to match its broken bones with my hands, and then found a few thin wooden strips to clip the broken leg and tie it up.

Maybe it also knew that I was saving it, but it didn't make a sound during the whole process, it just whined in its throat, which surprised me a bit.

After all this, I got him some leftover food from us, but it probably hurt so badly, he sniffed it and didn't eat it, so I just let it go, found a mat for it, and then Turned off the lights and went to bed, and it never barked again that night.

The little dog was paralyzed for more than a month, and I finally took the wooden strip off its legs, and it was miraculously healed, so it stayed in the silversmith's shop.I also gave it a mighty name called General Wei.

It's just how that woman found out about this matter, I don't know!
