47. It's too late for me to be happy
Mother???
Ding Shuo glanced at Liu Yicun, and then at the woman without makeup, with a trace of astonishment on his face.
He had asked Liu Yicun's age before, and the little guy had just turned eleven years old this year, so the woman in front of him was ......
I'll go, it's a bit informative!
The woman without makeup ignored Liu Yicun, but looked at Ding Shuo and asked breathlessly, "Boss, is my son really learning to paint from you?"
Ding Shuo nodded with a blank face: "Yes, Auntie......"
After calling Auntie, seeing that the face of the woman without makeup had changed subtly, he felt that something was wrong, so he immediately changed his words: "Ahem, we should be about the same age, I'll call you sister." ”
Liu Yicun called himself brother, but he called his mother's sister......
This generation is a mess, and it's awkward to call anything.
However, after she changed her words, the face of the plain woman softened a lot: "So...... You really bought the clothes and shoes on his body, and the money you spent on the medicine for me a few days ago......"
Before she finished speaking, the woman without makeup raised her hand to support her forehead, and her body shook slightly.
Seeing this, Ding Shuo hurriedly stepped forward and helped her sit down on the sofa next to her: "A village, there is vitamin sugar next to the water dispenser, and then bring a glass of warm water." ”
"Okay!" Liu Yicun hurriedly ran to fetch water.
The woman without makeup sat on a chair and drank half a glass of water, rested for a while with vitamin sugar, and her complexion improved slightly.
Ding Shuo asked on the side, "How is it? Do you feel better?"
The woman without makeup nodded, and smiled apologetically: "It's much better, let you see and laugh big brother, since I gave birth to a village, my health has been getting worse and worse, and I take medicine all day long, and I am about to become a medicine jar." ”
Liu Yicun handed the water cup to the woman without makeup, and blamed: "Mom, didn't Dr. Yang tell you? Your body is too weak now, and you need to rest in bed for a while." ”
The woman without makeup sighed: "You are in new clothes again, and you are taking money home, aren't I worried that you will learn badly from the bad boys in Qiaotou?" So when I saw you go out, I secretly followed out, wanting to see if you were lying and deceiving me." ”
Liu Yicun looked aggrieved: "Why am I lying to you? Now that I see lepers, they all walk around the road, how can I learn from them?"
The woman without makeup glared: "Still talking back, what is the smell of smoke on your body? Don't look at me sickly, my nose is smart." ”
"Sister, you are indeed wrong about Yicun, I have a habit of smoking, and the smell of smoke on Yicun's body is probably brought back from me. Ding Shuo pointed to the ashtray full of cigarette butts.
Most of the anger on the plain woman's face dissipated: "I thought this kid didn't study well and secretly learned to smoke outside." ”
Ding Shuo touched Liu Yicun's head and said: "Yicun is very artistically talented, and his imagination is also wild, which is very worthy of cultivation. ”
The woman without makeup nodded: "Yes, this child has liked to draw since he was a child, but he ......"
As she spoke, her pale face was covered with a faint layer of sadness.
Ding Shuo asked Liu Yicun before, why don't you go to school?
Liu Yicun just said that his mother was not in good health and needed his care.
When I saw it today, it was really so, and his mother's age surprised Ding Shuo a little.
Of course......
Maybe it's because I'm thinking too much, people just look younger.
Ding Shuo couldn't help but ask, "It stands to reason that a village has long reached the age of going to school, so why don't you let him go to school? Isn't compulsory education free now?"
The plain woman sighed again: "Alas...... Why don't I want him to go to school?"
Listening to the words of the woman without makeup, Ding Shuo then asked, "What's the matter?
"Since you are the master of a village, I am not afraid of your jokes when I say it......" The woman without makeup bit her lip and slowly told her story.
Her name is Willow Shore Flower.
Not long after graduating from high school, she followed a distant relative to work in a well-known business hotel in Orange City.
While cleaning in the housekeeping department, she picked up a leather bag.
After opening it, she found that it contained a lot of cash, and she was worried that the owner would be very anxious if she lost the money, so she asked the front desk to secretly check the occupancy record of the room behind the leader's back, and took the initiative to contact the owner.
The owner was a man of about thirty years old, polite, tall and handsome.
The willow shore flowers are simple and kind, and they are slim and elegant.
The first time the two met, they had a good impression of each other.
It didn't take long for the two to establish a relationship, and it soon developed to the point of talking about marriage.
In this way, after one of the man's drunkenness, she accidentally became pregnant with Ichimura.
Later, she told the man the good news.
After that, the man stopped seeing her for various reasons such as "business trip", "too busy with work", "accompanying the leader", and even transferred 5,000 yuan to her and asked her to go to the hospital to get rid of the child, saying that now is the rising period of his career, and it is not the time to have a child.
At that moment, she was like a lightning strike.
As a mother, how could she be willing to hurt this innocent little life?
A few months later, the man disappeared completely, and she left the city in the heavy rain and came to Qinghe with a big belly.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and she lost her ID card on the bus.
In this way, she found countless jobs in Qinghe, but people saw her with a big belly, and in addition to pity and suspicion in her eyes, no boss was willing to take her in.
As she spoke, Liu Anhua's eyes turned red.
Ding Shuo handed over a tissue and expressed sympathy for the woman's plight.
"Thank you......" Liu Anhua took the tissue, wiped the corners of her eyes, and continued, "Later, I found a job in an ice cream factory, and it didn't take long for me to give birth to a village, due to incomplete documents, and it was a child born before marriage, I couldn't apply for a birth certificate for a village, and my household registration was in my hometown, saying that I must have a birth certificate to settle down, so I missed the age to go to school......
After listening to Liu Anhua's story, Ding Shuo didn't know why she said so much to herself, and he didn't know how to evaluate her experience, so he had to get up and pour her another glass of water, and brought the topic back to the issue of going to school: "It's okay for children not to go to school, I will find a way to help you in this matter." ”
"Thank you so much, Yicun, why don't you kneel down and thank Master......?"
Ding Shuo stopped Liu Yicun in time and said to Liu Anhua: "There are not so many etiquette, this matter is a bit difficult, but don't worry, I will definitely do my best." ”
"Let you bother, cough cough ......" Before the words were finished, Liu Anhua coughed even more.
Ding Shuo handed over the water that was put aside: "Sister, do you want to take you to the hospital?"
Liu Anhua waved her hand: "No, I know my body very well, less than a week after giving birth to a village, I went to work in the ice cream factory, and the cold air entered the body for a long time, coupled with the lack of qi and blood, so that my body was ruined like this." ”
Ding Shuo thought thoughtfully: "You still work in the ice cream factory?"
Liu Anhua shook her head: "The efficiency of the factory is not good, and the manager dismissed me two months ago, because I don't have an ID card, and many places are unwilling to ask for me." ”
Ding Shuo nodded, thought for a while and said, "That's it, why don't you come to work with me, don't look at my gallery, it's usually very busy, and the store just lacks a helper." ”
Liu Anhua's eyes lit up for a moment, but they quickly dimmed: "Brother, I know that you want to help us and my mother, but I don't know how to draw......"
Ding Shuo smiled: "Have you ever gone to the vegetable market to buy vegetables?"
Liu Anhua was stunned for a moment, and for a while she didn't understand why Ding Shuo asked: "I've bought it." ”
Ding Shuo then asked, "Then when you buy vegetables, will you bargain?"
Liu Anhua nodded, showing a rare confidence on her face: "Of course, I can cut the boss who buys vegetables and cry......"
Ding Shuo said with a smile: "That's fine, as long as you can buy vegetables and bargain, you can sell paintings to me." ”
Liu Anhua looked incredulous: "Huh?"
From the clothes, Ding Shuo could see that the two of them were in an embarrassing situation, and what they needed most now was financial help, so he said: "In terms of salary, the basic salary is 3,000 plus 5 points of sales commission, if you think you can, you can come to work at any time." ”
Liu Anhua looked happy: "Is this good?"
Ding Shuo smiled: "Even if you don't come, I plan to recruit people, if you don't dislike this errand, just do it here first, and if you find a better job, you can resign from me at any time." ”
Liu Anhua secretly wiped a handful of tears, and a simple smile appeared on her face: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, it's too late for me to be happy." ”
