Chapter 44 How great it would be if he was a real disciple
Wu Wei hesitated.
The secretary's wife and the fourth sister-in-law took Cheng Yuejuan to the door of the main hall.
Qiao Wuye was fascinated by the blueprint and didn't want to pay attention to these women.
Wu Wei could only stand up properly and tidy up his clothes.
After all, the mud and sweat smell from a day's work actually affect his image more than wrinkled and old clothes.
But Wu Wei couldn't care.
As a result, the secretary's wife took a look.
She was more and more happy and said: "The young man is really good-looking and energetic. He has the style of Mr. Wu in the past."
The fourth sister-in-law could only nod.
After all, the future mother-in-law has taken a fancy to him, so what else can she, as a sister-in-law, do?
Cheng Yuejuan felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do.
I could only urge the two sisters-in-law: "Okay, let's take a look. Come here, I have something to ask you."
As he said that, he pulled the secretary's wife, who was still unsatisfied, to the kitchen door and said: "We three just talked last night, how come so many matchmakers came to Xiao Wu's door this morning?"
"Who of you two told it?"
Hearing this, the secretary's wife said embarrassedly: "I went home last night and got excited, so I called Jasmine's second and third aunts..."
The fourth sister-in-law followed reluctantly and said: "I went to work in the fields this morning and met some people. I chatted and said a few words..."
Cheng Yuejuan heard it.
As expected, the culprit was found, it was them!
However, the secretary's wife didn't care at all and said: "Let them find it! I want to see which girl's conditions are better than my Jasmine?"
The chatter at the door.
It didn't affect the gestures of the father and son in the main room at all.
After reading the two sets of drawings of the small western-style building, Qiao Wuye's face was full of radiance.
That satisfaction was more than drinking.
Back to the drawings of the meat processing plant mentioned by Wu Wei at the beginning.
The exchange between the father and son was hearty and unreserved.
Qiao Wuye found that Wu Wei took over the second half of many sentences he had just said.
Even with just a gesture or a look, Wu Wei understood instantly.
So much so that Qiao Wuye felt that he had met Wu Wei too late.
It would be great if this was really his apprentice!
The factory drawings were discussed in detail.
The father and son put away the drawings and lit a cigarette.
Qiao Wuye then asked a question that any normal person would think of.
"You have such a good craftsmanship, why did you work in the Xishan Kiln Factory for so long before, wasting time?"
This question is indeed a bit puzzling.
Wu Wei pondered and said half-truthfully: "Master, I have always wanted to run a brick kiln factory. After all, we bricklayers are inseparable from bricks and tiles."
Qiao Wuye's heart moved.
This child has some vision and perspective.
At this time, Qiao Yuyan came back with a cold vegetable salad and a dish of bacon slices.
Cheng Yuejuan also sent away the two sisters-in-law, and came into the house with a plate of peanuts and a plate of fried eggs with chives.
"You two should wash up quickly, and we will have dinner after washing."
Qiao Wuye stood up first, and Wu Wei followed immediately.
Arrived at the hand-operated well.
Qiao Wuye drew a basin of water and washed very seriously.
Wu Wei waited silently behind him, and when he finished washing, he would wash himself.
As a result, Qiao Yuyan suddenly pulled him over and pointed at a beautiful porcelain basin with flowers and a fragrant towel and said, "Brother Wu Wei, wash here."
When Wu Wei saw it, he waved his hands and said, "That won't do."
He had never seen such a porcelain basin and towel in his life.
He had seen many in his previous life.
This was Qiao Yuyan's own wash basin and face towel.
How could he, a rough man, dare to use it?
It was fortunate that Master Qiao Wuye was washing his face with cold water and didn't see it.
If she had seen it, wouldn't she have kicked herself out?
Qiao Yuyan's pretty face was stern: "Why, do you dislike my basin and towel?"
Wu Wei said frankly: "Look at me, I'm afraid I'll get you dirty."
Qiao Yuyan said confidently: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
Since it came to this, Wu Wei had no choice but to use it.
But then again, Qiao Yuyan's towel smelled really good.
It's unimaginable how fragrant she would be!
Unfortunately, Master Qiao Wu was almost done washing, so Wu Wei didn't dare to listen.
He hurriedly washed his face, hands, and arms, and quietly lowered his voice to promise: "I'll buy you a new towel later."
Qiao Yuyan took the towel and washbasin used by Wu Wei without any disdain and said: "Who cares!"
Back to the main room.
Master Qiao Wu sat in the main seat, and Wu Wei sat on his right.
Qiao Yuyan sat on Wu Wei's right in a dignified manner.
Master Qiao Wu frowned, but didn't say it directly. He just pointed at the ration wine on the table and said: "Today is Wu Wei's first time to come to our house for dinner. How can he drink this wine?"
Cheng Yuejuan didn't fully understand, and kicked the ball to her daughter and said: "Then drink the Jiannanchun that Lao Si brought last time, Yuyan, you go and get it."
As a result, Qiao Yuyan refused: "No! No one is allowed to drink that bottle of wine."
Cheng Yuejuan was surprised.
But Master Qiao Wu didn't think much about it.
Because he originally didn't want to drink Jiannanchun, but the Maotai he treasured.
"Go get it, old woman, get the Maotai."
Cheng Yuejuan realized the seriousness of the problem.
The old man has collected those two bottles of Maotai for many years.
Every time someone came back and wanted to drink, he would refuse on the grounds that he would drink when his daughter came out of the palace.
Now that Wu Wei came, the old man immediately made an exception.
Cheng Yuejuan was startled and let it go.
If the old man wants to drink, let him.
Anyway, my daughter Yuyan missed the boy in front of her, and if she wants to find a better one, she doesn't know she will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
Wu Wei waited until he got the Maotai liquor before he remembered such an incident in his previous life.
While pouring wine for Mr. Qiao, he said: "Master, once the construction of the meat factory is completed, I will buy you a box of Maotai to keep."
Fifth Master Qiao also said happily: "Then I'll wait."
But Cheng Yuejuan said distressedly: "Wait? You know that Xiao Wu will be alone!"
Qiao Yuyan pouted and agreed, "That's right."
Fifth Master Qiao didn't take it seriously. He was really happy today.
The master and the apprentice exchanged cups and drank a bottle of Moutai in no time.
Mr. Qiao Wu was still unfinished and wanted to open a second bottle, but Wu Wei stopped him and said, "Master, let's stop drinking as the water flows slowly."
"Besides, I have to trouble you to recruit more master craftsmen for me tomorrow. I only have five on hand now, including Senior Brother Zhai."
Fifth Master Qiao readily agreed, "Okay, I'll take care of this."
Then he shouted: "Serve rice, serve rice, serve Xiao Wu quickly!"
So Cheng Yuejuan got up and went to Sheng, and Qiao Yuyan also rushed to go.
While the two of them were away, Wu Wei leaned over and said to Mr. Qiao: "Master, I have something else that I would like to ask your help for."
