The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm
Chapter 235 Confidence
"I have practiced all the calligraphy that my sister bought for me. Not only can I write the characters, but I also understand their meanings."
"There is a saying that goes, 'Even if I have ten thousand books in my belly, I will not bow my head to the grass.' I don't have ten thousand books in my belly, not even one."
"But I don't want my future children to work hard all day, worrying about food, money and survival."
"And when I grow up, I want to do something practical for the people. Although I don't know if it will work in the end, I have to work hard in that direction, just in case I succeed."
When Niu Li said these words, he was very firm and there was no hesitation at all.
Taoci Zhang could only comfort himself that this time there was absolutely no one competing with him for food. He had thought that he could always take one of them in as an apprentice, but he didn't expect that the brother and sister had the same idea. It seemed that they were not destined to be together.
The ones who come to me for help are not liked by me, and the ones who are liked by me reject me. It really is a changing world. I never thought I would be rejected again, let alone twice by the whole family.
However, this child has great ambitions. I wonder how long he can persist on this path and whether he can always remember his original intention.
This family looks poor and shabby. The newly built house is made of adobe. I don’t know how poorly they lived before. I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse for such a family to have a child like this.
"That's right, you have great ambition. If you really want to go to Beijing to take the exam in the future, you can come find me. You can ask anyone to find out where I live."
Ceramics Zhang admires Niu Li very much. Although he is young, he has great ambitions.
After all, he has some connections with those official families, which is much better than Niu Li going it alone. If they need help, he can lend a hand.
He also wants to do something practical for the people. He is a responsible and loyal person. If I can really help him in the future, I will definitely give something back and will never suffer any loss.
It is said that a child's character can be seen at the age of three. I think even if he grows up, his personality will not change much. After all, his sister will still teach him, so he will basically not go astray.
Is this the charm of Pai Gu socializing? Niu Li responded calmly and generously: "Thank you very much. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit you in Beijing."
Although I don't understand how a ceramics maker can help, since he said so and was thinking about me, I am filled with gratitude, regardless of whether it is just a compliment or whether he can really help.
Taoci Zhang took out a small gadget from his sleeve, gave it to Niu Li, and rubbed his head. The kid really liked it.
"Just consider it as a meeting gift for you. When you really go to the capital, you can use this as a keepsake."
I looked down and saw something the size of a date, but I couldn't tell what it was. I turned around and looked at it again, but I was still confused. Could it be a date made of ceramic?
Taoci Zhang took the thing over, dug it up and down, and found a small boat inside. He bent down, picked up a hard and slender straw, and opened the door and window of the cabin.
I found several people sitting inside, enjoying the scenery. There was tea and snacks on the small table. The expressions of the bean-sized people were surprisingly lifelike. The wrinkles on their clothes showed signs of being blown by the wind, as if they were close friends chatting about everything under the sun and having a great time.
Everyone present was amazed, their eyes seemed to pop out and their mouths were opened so wide that a pear could fit in.
Zhao Jincheng was no exception. He hadn't seen Zhang's works for a long time and had no idea that his craftsmanship was so advanced now.
Fortunately, I had some friendship with him before, so I didn't have to pay him. If I had paid real money to invite him, I'm afraid I would have to cut off a piece of flesh from my body.
Niu Li thought, no wonder Zhang of Ceramics said that if he went to Beijing to take the exam, he could go to him. He must know some people of noble status. This craft is the best in the world. I'm afraid there must be works of his in the palace.
Niu Li's mind was slightly shaken, and he thought it would be a good idea to learn a skill from him, but he quickly drove this idea out of his mind.
I don’t know who will have the blessing to become his apprentice in the future.
The surface of the 'date' was very smooth, as if it was soaked in a layer of grease, unlike the original color of the ceramic. It was obvious that it was Zhang's favorite. He would take it out from time to time to rub and appreciate it, but Niu Li refused again and again.
"I can't accept something this valuable."
Taoci Zhang closed the doors and windows of the boat with ease, then installed the shell and returned it to Niu Li.
"If I give it to you, it's yours. There's no reason to take it back. I, Zhang, keep my word. I'm as good as my word. You must accept this."
"I also think that you and I are destined to be together. What you said just now really touched me. Many people asked me for it before, but I didn't give it to them. Today, I'm giving it to you."
Since Zhang Ci has said so, it would be impolite not to accept it. Niu Li held the "date" in the palm of his hand as if he were holding a treasure, afraid that he would accidentally break it.
"Then I'll take it. I like it very much."
He immediately left the place and returned to his room, where he found a good place to put it.
Lao San and Yan Zi looked at each other. Today was really an eye-opener. They couldn't calm down for a long time. They recalled the scene just now in their minds. It was really amazing that ceramics could be made into such things. They didn't dare to imagine how it was made.
I hope Niu Li won't regret giving up such a good opportunity, but my son has already made the decision. When he saw that 'Zaozi' he didn't say he regretted it, so he will definitely insist on studying. With such lofty ambitions, I will definitely support him.
After three rounds of drinks, the faces of the men at the table were all red, and they started talking. Without the initial restraint, the third man began to talk incessantly.
He patted the table and pointed at the roof. "Everything in this house, including this house, was earned by Ni'er. And the donkey cart outside, this house didn't feel like a home at the beginning."
"It's tattered, cramped and drafty. She's such a little kid, but she can manage this house like this. As a father, I feel ashamed of myself."
"I don't treat you as outsiders, so I'm just telling you something. I'm not afraid of being laughed at."
"Other children of this age don't need to worry about these things. They just play in the mud and have fun with their friends every day. Even if their families are so poor that they can't even afford to eat, and they have to eat coarse food with their parents, they can still be happy every day."
"This child is protecting us. All the big and small things in the family depend on her. How could I, Niu Lao San, have the good fortune to give birth to such a good child?"
As he said this, tears almost fell from his eyes. Yan Zi also felt the same way and her eyes were red. As Ni'er's master, Zhao Jincheng felt even more sorry for his little apprentice. Fortunately, this child had great potential, otherwise he would not be able to lead him.
Yan Zi wanted to get up and get a clean cloth to wipe the third brother’s face.
