He Yu told the whole process of making the monument, and the tombstone worker was surprised.

He said to He Yu:"Oh!

You are a weak scholar, you know everything.

But I don't believe you know everything, so I will test you.

You said we are going to dig stones in the mountains. Some of them are When blasting with a cannon, how do you select the blast hole

? How do you place the explosives so that the entire stone will not be blown to pieces?"

"These are simple little things.

When I was building a pond in Damo Village, I also had to blast stones.

The stones were like stele stones and had to be blown out in one piece so that they could be laid on the bottom of the pond.

As for how to choose the blast hole?

How to place explosives?

Wouldn't you blow up the rocks?

I did all this with my own hands, so you don’t have to test me.

I will test you instead. If there is a squib, how do you think you can eliminate it?"

"this one?

I really haven't ruled it out.

When a squib appears, firstly, I don’t dare to eliminate it, and secondly, I have my master to eliminate it," said the worker..

"It turns out you are a coward!

I tell you without any secret that when I was studying in the normal school and in Damo Village a few years ago, I personally eliminated all the squibs I encountered.

Not once did anything go wrong.

How about it?

You'd better build your monument properly. It's better not to do these things.

You are still young, so you should learn more about other things."He Yu said

"Secretary He is right!

Just make your mark properly.

You don't know how high the sky is and how dare you do anything in front of Secretary He. okay!

It’s better to make a good mark on you!

Secretary He, don't argue with him. It's better to quickly choose the monument you like."The boss who made the monument said.

As He Yu walked and looked at it, he felt that there was a medium-sized piece that was more suitable.

It was a piece of white marble with a rectangular half-domed shape.

He said to the boss,"I think this piece is more suitable.

Just tell me honestly, how much do I need to pay you?

The boss thought for a while and said,"I'll just charge you ten yuan.""

He Yu's salary at that time was more than sixty yuan a month.

According to the market price He Yu knew, a medium-sized white marble monument like this would cost him at least half a month's salary.

He replied:"That's it. The salary for part-time work is less than ten yuan."

"you guessed right!

Because you are a good friend of Principal Ou, and you are erecting a monument for your benefactor, Principal Shen.

So I can only collect wages. As for the stone money, I will give it to you to express my feelings."The boss says

"How does this work?

I still have to pay you thirty yuan. I felt at ease in my heart."He Yu said as he took out the thirty yuan he had prepared in advance and handed it to the boss. The boss took it and took only one ten-yuan note, and put two ten-yuan notes into He Yu's pocket. He Yu hurriedly put two more ten-yuan notes in his pocket.

He forcibly handed the money to the boss and said:"If you don't accept it, I won't buy your monument.""

"If I don't accept these two pieces of money from you, you won't buy my monument?

All right!

Just find someone else to buy it! The boss returned the three ten-yuan bills to He Yu.

Uncle Li said:"Secretary He!"

Just accept the kindness of my relatives!

Don't you buy it for him?

You don’t know that there is no one making monuments within a few dozen miles.

Just across the river is Guizhou, and everyone comes here to buy.

My relative has already said that in order to express his feelings, he will only charge the work cost.

When others come to buy the monument, he will not ask for a penny less.

He will only do this if you come!

According to what you literati say, this is called: We are destined to meet from thousands of miles away.

Don't be arrogant if you pass by without chance and don't know each other!

Give him the ten yuan quickly.

Only then would he be happy, so hurry up and write the inscription!"

It's true:

I bought a monument for my benefactor and met a good person.

The boss just collected the work capital.

Is this also fate?

It's hard to tell.
