The happy life of a prodigal

Thinking of this, Jiang San felt relieved.

Stand where you are, and don't push forward.

Time passed minute by minute.

The front is still as noisy as ever.

However, the number is constantly decreasing.

Finally, it was Jiang San.

"What do you do?"

A steward held a charcoal pencil and paper in his hand, looked up at Jiang San, and asked.

Jiang Sandao: "Coolies, moving bricks, and building walls will do."

After a pause, he said again: "As long as you work hard, you can learn anything if you don't know how to do it now."

The steward nodded, wrote down the word "coolie" on the paper, and then asked, "What's your name?"

"Jiang San."

"how old are you?"

"31."

"Where do you live?"

"Three corners in the north of the city."

When the steward heard this, the expression on his face was a little surprised, he raised his eyes to look at Jiang San, and asked, "Are you from the Kyoto Prefecture? It doesn't sound like your accent."

Jiang San shook his head and said, "I'm from the Central Plains, and I just came to Kyoto last year."

"Then how can you live in the mansion on the upper third corner?"

asked the steward.

Although the Three Corners is really not a good location for the people of Kyoto Prefecture, it is in the prefectural city after all.

One month's rent is also a lot of money.

If you don't have a certain family background, how can you afford to live?

If you have a certain family background, why bother to be a coolie?

Jiang San naturally understood the reason why the manager asked so many questions.

What is the most important thing on this construction site?

Naturally, it is stable.

It cannot be said that you have worked for two days, and when you feel tired, you run away and quit. At this time, everything has been arranged, so where do you ask the foreman to find someone?

It's still a question of whether the person you find is reliable or not.

thus......

Generally speaking, it is necessary to inquire clearly, and only those who have to do coolies will accept it.

In this case, when you leave the construction site, there is no other place to go.

Naturally, it is stable enough and will not change much.

Looking at the steward, Jiang San sighed and said, "I used to earn some money at the exchange, and rented the mansion at the third corner, but now the exchange is no longer available, so I have to find a job."

After a pause, he said again: "I used to be on the construction site, building roads, and I understand the rules. I won't run away until the work is done."

The steward looked Jiang San up and down, nodded and said, "If you come late at the south city gate at noon tomorrow, you won't use it in the future, understand?"

When Jiang San heard this, his face showed joy, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Understood!"

"Okay, let's go down."

The steward waved his hand.

Jiang San hurriedly saluted again, and then left.

At this moment, it is dusk.

The sunset glow sprinkled on the ground, golden.

Jiang San felt inexplicably emotional.

As the saying goes, there is no unparalleled road in the sky, there must be a road when the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will go straight to the bridge...

Willows and flowers brighten another village!

It never occurred to me that I was about to give up.

God actually gave me another chance.

Do not!

This opportunity is not given by God!

It was given by An Guogong!

If An Guogong didn't build a new city, how could he have the opportunity to stay?

Thinking of this, Jiang San showed gratitude on his face, facing Duke Anguo's mansion, stood upright, and saluted respectfully.

"An Guogong, you are simply my nobleman!"

After sighing, I couldn't help but want to go home to announce the good news.

He wants to tell his wife that they don't have to go back to their hometown in despair.

He found work again in Kyoto Prefecture!

A full two taels of silver a month.

Food and housing are included, which saves a lot of money.

Two taels of silver is the most basic. If you are strong and do a lot of work, generally speaking, you can get another one tael of silver.

In this way, it is three taels of silver.

Three taels of silver.

The rent of the mansion is six taels of silver.

It is three taels of silver to remove it.

For daily expenses, Jiang San himself covered food and housing, and his son also had free meals in the Academy of Arts and Sciences.

It doesn't take much, let's count it as one tael of silver in two months.

Calculated in this way, one year is 50 taels of silver.

My own 100 taels of silver are enough to support me in Kyoto Prefecture for two years!

In two years, Jiang San has enough confidence that the exchange will return to its former glory.

Even if you can't recover as before, you can work harder, be more tired, do more work on weekdays, and earn some extra money, and you can barely maintain your life.

one way or another.

There is still hope in Kyoto Prefecture.

After leaving Kyoto Prefecture, it will be difficult to come back!

Although there is not much silver.

But it gave Jiang San firm confidence... stay!

The first thousand and 180 three chapters can stay in Kyoto Prefecture!

back home.

Mrs. Wu has already prepared meals and is waiting at home.

The children are also back from school.

Doing homework.

This time, he was more serious about his homework than ever before.

Because he knew that this was the last time he would do his homework.

When he returns to his hometown, he may not be able to continue studying.

Don't look at the child's young age, but there are some things in my heart that I understand better than anyone else.

He knew that his father had no money.

Because he has no money, he has to go back to his hometown, and because he has no money, he has to continue going home to play with his friends instead of studying in the school.

The academies at home are not like the academies in Kyoto Prefecture. As long as the test scores are good, you can study without money...

In fact, to be honest, he doesn't like reading in his heart.

But for some reason, he always feels that reading is very important, he should read...

Not because reading can have food.

It's because the partners in the school who are about the same age as me are all studying.

And each of them wears clean clothes and speaks differently from their friends in their hometown.

Therefore, he felt that as long as he read books, he could become like them, instead of being like the little friends in tattered clothes in his hometown.

Only when he was reading did he feel that he belonged to them.

Of course, it doesn't make sense to say that.

Because this is the last day they stay in the capital, today is over, and when they wake up tomorrow, they will start to help their father and mother pack their luggage.

Then I went around the Kyoto Prefecture, said goodbye to my friends in the academy, gave my homework to my husband, and told him that I was going back to my hometown.

Then, he should leave...

On the side, Wu looked at her son's expression, feeling a little lost in her heart.

In fact, for her, there is really no big difference between staying in Kyoto and going back to her hometown.

Her only regret is that her son did not continue to study in Kyoto Prefecture.

I heard that the teachers of the Academy of Arts and Sciences are all the best students in Dachu.

The dean of the academy, even the former Yayuan, is a person with great knowledge, even the magistrates of Fucheng may not have that dean with knowledge, let alone the gentlemen in those private schools.

However, after returning to my hometown, I'm afraid I can't even afford a private school.

After all, studying in a liberal arts academy does not cost money, but hiring a private school is another expense.

If work cannot be found, every expense must be saved.

Mrs. Wu sighed, and wanted to comfort her son, but she didn't know where to start, so she just sighed.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Boom boom boom!

"it's me."

What came was Jiang San's voice, which seemed different from before.

Wu got up and went to open the door for him.

"My husband is back."

She has changed her tune. She no longer calls her master, but her husband as before.

"Everything is almost packed, and the meals are ready. Let's eat first. If there is anything, we can talk about it after dinner."

Wu Shi was afraid that her husband would be overwhelmed, so she didn't mention the word of leaving.

After Jiang San heard this, he thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay."

"father."

Jiang San's son put down the charcoal pencil in his hand, turned his head and rushed towards Jiang San.

Jiang San picked him up and asked, "How was your performance in school today? Did the master praise you?"
