[21] The face outside the door

Er Laizi held a stick and limped back to the village, and the villagers saw Er Laizi and pointed at him.

"Why didn't you beat Erlaizi to death? ”

"The beating was still light, and he was honest when he didn't dare to steal anymore. ”

"Erlaizi suffered by himself, and he knew why he had to do it today. ”

"It's bad luck to be in a village with him. ”

Er Laizi walked expressionlessly, the villagers' discussions, word by word, word by word, he didn't want to refute it at all now, he himself felt that he was such a person, and there was no cure.

didn't go home, Er Laizi rubbed to the door of Wu Daguang's house, and the people in the village who watched the excitement followed Er Laizi, no one knew why Er Laizi came to Wu Daguang's door, and the villagers didn't know that Er Laizi would come to help Wu Daguang push the cart every day, so they all agreed that he was here to find fault.

"Erlaizi, you don't look at your own virtues, and you still want to come to Daguang's house to sprinkle, don't splash urine and take care of yourself. ”

"We should get this scoundrel out of the village. ”

Er Laizi gritted the back tooth socket, clenched his fists, and yelled: "Get out." ”

The villagers were stunned, and then laughed: "What does Er Laizi say, let us get out, just like his half-dead appearance, he can survive this winter." ”

Wu Daguang heard it clearly in the courtyard, he didn't care, some people were not scolded and woke up, and they would never wake up.

The villagers continued to taunt: "Let's go, let's go, you look like you're dead, what do you want to steal from Daguang's family?"

Er Laizi ignored it, and walked to the courtyard of Wu Daguang's house with a stick, and immediately a villager came over to stop Er Laizi: "With so many pairs of eyes, you really dare to enter." ”

The villagers started with your hand, I punched and pushed Er Laizi back, for so many years, who didn't hate Er Laizi, who hadn't been stolen by Erlaizi, and the thief who ran away after stealing things was fast, and he couldn't catch it. Now it's time for them to speak from the point of view of justice.

I don't know who started heavier, Erlaizi's center was unstable, he fell backwards, there were no villagers to help, he fell to the ground so hard, and the villagers didn't dare to speak for a while, for fear that Erlaizi would slander people.

Fortunately, Erraizi was fine, struggling on the ground, and wanted to stand up with a stick.

Wu Daguang stopped abruptly when he heard the sound outside the door, and ran over to take a look, Er Laizi fell to the ground, and the villagers watched indifferently from the side.

"For this kind of person, you are also worthy of it, so scatter. Wu Daguang stopped.

Villagers, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand, and I disperse boringly.

Er Laizi got up from the ground, holding a stick in one hand, and he was still wearing the cotton clothes given to him by Wu Daguang, and his body was covered with soil, he didn't care about these, he had something to ask, but he didn't know how to speak.

"I don't know what to say, this is you, this is what others think of you, it's a beast just for a meal and three meals, no one will make a grievance for a beast, especially a beast who spoils the crops. ”

The corners of Er Laizi's mouth trembled with Wu Daguang's words, and it was clear that Wu Daguang had no tone in what he said, stirring a thousand waves in his heart.

"I'll pay you back. Er Laizi said solemnly, which shows that he is interested.

"What are you going to take?" Wu Daguang's tone was still so flat.

Er Laizi's fist clenched again, "I ......" didn't continue, he knew that he couldn't pay back.

"Three days later, come and work for me, two hundred a month. Wu Daguang's face was calm, the small universe in his heart exploded, and he was so handsome by himself.

"You're not afraid I'll give you ......" didn't say the word black.

"People live a breath, go back and rest for two days, go to work, brother will build a new tiled house in a year." Wu Daguang took out five yuan, stuffed it into Erlaizi, and said: "At the end of the month, it will be deducted from the salary." ”

After Wu Daguang finished speaking, he entered his yard.

Er Laizi was holding five yuan in his hand, I don't know whether he was excited or moved, Wu Daguang was the first person to respect him, a person who treated him as a person.

dragged his body home, nested on the kang head without eating, drinking, or sleeping, and thought about it for a whole day and a night with his eyes open, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At noon the next day, a small figure appeared at the door of Er Laizi, carrying a lunch box in his hand, probing his brain in, Er Laizi's home was a little scary, and Xinghua didn't dare to go in.

"Uncle Erlai, are you at home?" Xinghua shouted into the house.

Er Laizi's sluggishness was called back to his senses by Xinghua, sat up from the kang, stretched his neck and looked out the window: "Here, what's wrong Xinghua, what's wrong?" Er Laizi got off the kang and dragged his shoes out of the house.

Xinghua grinned at Er Laizi, lifted the lunch box in her hand, and trotted into Er Laizi's yard: "Uncle Erlai, you can taste the ribs made by my father." ”

Er Laizi opened it and saw that half rice, half pork ribs, the fragrance of pork ribs wafted into his nose, his stomach rumbled, he hadn't eaten pork for many years, he didn't remember.

"Doesn't Uncle Lai thank Xinghua? Daddy said that others help him, so he has to say thank you. Apricot blossom flashed her big eyes and reminded Erraizi.

Er Laizi was stunned for a moment, he hadn't said the word thank you when he was so old, and in the face of a child's question, the word thank you was always stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.

"Hehe, Uncle Erlai, I'll tease you, the rice is still hot, you hurry up and eat, Xinghua will go home first." Xinghua turned and trotted in the direction of home.

Er Laizi was still pretentious about the word thanks, and he forcibly held back a sound: "xi ......" is looking at the apricot blossoms, and the person has run away.

Xinghua ran away, and Er Laizi said four words easily: "Thank you Xinghua." ”

Er Laizi himself was speechless to himself, flashed his slap, and scolded himself: "It's a useless thing." ”

At midnight, Wu Daguang yawned and went to work, opened the big iron door, and his face was close to the crack of the door, and the two people inside and outside the door were startled by each other.

"Er Laizi, are you sick, can't you be normal?"

"I didn't know you were opening the door, I just wanted to see if you were out of the hole. ”

"I'm called out of the stall, and I'm out of the hole, and I can't speak. ”

When he went to the market in the morning, Wu Daguang greeted people enthusiastically, and Er Laizi also learned to say hello, but it just made the other stall owners look a little awkward, parroting.

Two people worked, obviously faster than one, and quickly set up a stall.

Under the fire, Er Laizi took the initiative to bring the bowl to the surrounding stall owners.

"Daguang, you help me carry the goods, I can't lift them. "There are stall owners not far away.

"It's coming. Wu Daguang should be reconciled.

Er Laizi immediately jumped out and stopped Wu Daguang: "I'll go, I'll go." ”

Erlaizi has never regarded helping people as such a happy thing, and he went away.

After a morning, Wu Daguang was much more relaxed than usual, and Er Lai Zike suffered, sitting on the bench tired, unable to sit down.

At noon, Wu Daguang took Er Laizi to the factory to deliver food, and clearly told Er Laizi that the work of delivering food in the future would be handed over to him, and no matter what happened, it would have to be delivered.

The workers in the factory are all big men, talking cheerfully, chatting a few words, Er Laizi and the workers called brother and brother, which Er Laizi couldn't feel before, it's good to have friends.
