Chapter 18: Going out to work

Pancakes are not afraid of being bad, and they can be dealt with for a while with dipping in sauce. Plus these things can be dealt with in the first three or five days, in case the boss over there doesn't want me, I have these food, I can't starve to death for the time being, think of other ways, anyway, I definitely don't want to come back.

I'm going to get something to eat. In this way, you can save a little, green onions and shallots, plus dozens of catties of pancakes, all of which are in one bag.

My dad came over quietly and stuffed me with ten dollars.

I looked at the very old, soft banknote in surprise, and looked at him in surprise: "Dad......

"You take it. He whispered, "It's hard to move without money." I don't know if I can do it, when will I be paid? I can rest assured if you take this, don't grieve yourself, if you really can't do it, come back, there is always a way. He took a cautious look at the house where they were staying.

I nodded, and quickly put the money away. I don't know how he saved this money behind Zhao Qin's back, I am really touched that he can care about me like this.

My dad looked at me and sighed, "It's me who is sorry for you." ”

"No, Dad, I will have the ability in the future, and I will treat you well. ”

"Don't talk about this, hurry up and put it away. ”

As soon as I put the money away, Zhao Qin came out and swept my luggage coldly, I didn't squeak, and I didn't look at her.

Zhao Qin glared at me and went to talk to my brother, it was nothing more than to pay attention to my body, find a partner, and send the money home quickly to help marry my daughter-in-law. My brother said yes to them all.

My brother saw that the time was almost up and led me away.

I took a few steps and looked back at my dad, feeling very sad, Dad, don't you die so early in this life, okay? He waved his hand at me, and was pulled back by Zhao Qin.

We just walked out and saw Zhao Hu again, he saw that my face was blooming, and he wanted to take me to the city with a smile, but I resolutely refused.

"I'm not going, don't say it. ”

"Listen to me......"

I didn't look at him striding away, and my brother also pushed Zhao Hu away: "If you don't go, you won't go, uncle, don't be busy." ”

Zhao Hu scolded behind me: "No wonder I was dumped! The stones in the pit are smelly and hard! Don't have a good life, you have to be a slave, I will regret it!"

My brother and I thought we couldn't hear it, and we strode out of the village.

My brother said, "You'll be fine, although it's hard outside, but the world is vast." He looked at the blue sky and white clouds and said with a smile.

I also looked at it, it was still raining heavily yesterday, and now it is so sunny. It makes people feel better.

After a while, he suddenly said, "I almost forgot, sister, go and change your clothes." ”

I looked at him curiously, not knowing what he meant.

"Mom is right, that place is really not good, many men, you are young, if you go over there, it is not good to be targeted by hooligans, wear a little, and then smear a little black oil on your face, also for your safety. ”

I smiled and agreed, took my baggage and went to the grass, I put on a patched dress, wrapped a few threads around my waist, made no waist at all, smeared my face with the kind of oil that my brother gave me I don't know what to do, my hair was coiled, and I walked out.

My brother looked at it and said, "The hair is too neat." Come here. ”

I walked over and my brother was snoring and ruffling my hair. Then tell me to wash my hair once a week.

"Don't be too clean, don't be too timid in your speech, you will be bullied. ”

I smiled, I've lived for dozens of years in my last life, where can I still be timid, I can't pretend.

After a while, a tractor drove over, and a few people sat in the car, and when I saw my brother, the driver and the people in the car smiled and greeted each other, and my brother waved his hand and pulled me into the car.

Before getting into the car, I glanced at my shadow on the glass and gasped in fright, the whole image of a dirty, dirty, black girl. At least it's safe, isn't it?

There were a few people in the car, all of whom were about thirty years old, with tanned skin and rough skin.

When I saw my brother getting into the car with me, someone asked, "Is this your sister?"

I couldn't help but want to laugh.

My brother said, "Well, it's my neighbor's cousin, take care of it." I want to make some money too. ”

"Yes. Just one less to cook. The man looked at me for a moment, and then turned away from me.

I think it's good, it saves you the trouble.

Along the way, they brag about the women who pursue them. Smoking the kind of dry tobacco that I get from my own home is very choking. I sat far away, looking at the crops on both sides, and the angry river had settled down last night.

I saw Song Chuan fishing by the river with a fishing net. Seeing us sitting in the car, Song Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then ran to the shore barefoot: "Sister, what's wrong with you, sister?"

I didn't expect me to be like this, he would still recognize who I was, I waved at him: "I'm going out to work!"

"Sister, I'll look for you in the future!"

I smiled, "Let's go back and have fun!"

"I'm not playing, I'll wait for you to come back!" he ran after the car for a while, and finally he couldn't catch up, so he stood there panting and waving to me.

My brother said to me, "I think he likes you." ”

I smiled: "Brother, it's still a child, don't say such things." ”

"Don't say that, he's sixteen this year. There are eighteen or nineteen-year-old fathers in the village. Song Chuan is also a young man. Fucking bad temper. ”

I know he's worried, even though we saved his life, but if there are any bad rumors, he will probably have to fight with us.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, since I'm out, I won't go back to the village easily." He couldn't see me, and after a long time he forgot about it. ”

My brother nodded, not talking about it anymore.

I thought to myself, it's rare to see a simple baby like Song Chuan. I hope he has a life back this time and can live a better life, right?

The car drove to the next village, and this time two or three women came up. All of them were in their forties, very strong, and when they saw me, they all greeted me curiously.

"Whose family are you, I haven't seen it. ”

"Well, the Liu family. I whispered, "Go out and make some money." ”

"Your husband can bear it, this job is not easy to do. Those who eat and sleep in the open have suffered from old sins. A thick-lipped woman said.

Another woman laughed and said, "Isn't your husband the same black-hearted? ”

"Hmph, don't mention that dead ghost in my family, drink it sooner rather than later! If it weren't for the sake of the child, I wouldn't have come out. ”

Another woman was also concerned: "No, as soon as my husband heard that I was going out to make money, his eyes lit up, and he didn't do bullshit work at home, so he pointed at me." What about you, how old are you?"

I sighed, "My name is ...... Willow... Liu Dafen. Thirty-eight. ”

I made up a random name, and my brother smiled and didn't speak.

"How many children do you have?"

"Four. "I blurted out that in my previous life, I had conceived four children, and I only lived one Jiaojiao.

My brother looked at me with a smile in his eyes.

I heard the women talk about how their children were ignorant and naughty, but I felt a little sad.

My Jiaojiao, my parents died together, and I was left alone, can I live well? I hope she can be strong. The money I have left should be enough for her to go to college, right?

The car began to speed up at this time, the road was bumpy, and we were in no mood to talk after a mouthful of wind and sand.

I leaned next to my brother and slept again, and I can imagine what it was like to sleep in the car. It's so uncomfortable to death.

When the car arrived in the evening, I saw that the familiar and unfamiliar streets were still the same as thirty years ago, with some smoke and dust, and many people coming out of the factory on bicycles.

Several landmark buildings are still there, but they won't be left for a few years, and they will be demolished sooner or later, and the buses are still the most old-fashioned, swaying forward.

I looked at these scenery and felt a lot of emotion, and my brother took my hand tightly: "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”

I smiled, but I wasn't scared at all.

I thought I was going to go directly to the place where the well was drilled, but who knew that the driver got a message that the road ahead was blocked because of the rain, so the driver could only let us wait for one night and talk about it tomorrow morning.

Everyone complained when they heard this: "Isn't this a delay? How good it would be to know that we would leave tomorrow?"

The driver said: "I can't help it, I only know when I refuel, hurry up and find a place, and gather here tomorrow morning." ”

Everyone reluctantly got out of the car and went to visit relatives and friends.

My brother and I walked together, and the two of us discussed where to deal with it for one night, and if we stayed in a hotel, it would cost at least five yuan a night, and my brother was very reluctant.

Originally, Liu Yaolan and Song Qiankun were in the city, but I didn't want to disturb them when I looked at my eldest brother.

I said, "Brother, are you here for me? I don't care, you go to yours, I'll just go to the train station and deal with it all night." "People are brothers and sisters, and they can't compare with others.

My brother refused: "Let's go to the train station." I don't want to cause trouble either, after all, I live with my in-laws. ”

I nodded, and the two of them walked forward with their bags in their hands.

Thirty years ago, the station was very dilapidated everywhere, and there was no air conditioning or anything like that, but it was summer, so I could handle it anyway. There were still a lot of people at the train station, and it was bustling, so my brother and I found a corner place to sit down, and when we came out of the house, we also brought a few cornmeal steamed buns and some sliced meat, and now we just took them out.

The two of us sat on the seat to eat, my brother had a military kettle on him, and went to the front to ask for a little hot water, and the two of us ate and drank water, watching the crowd coming and going, and no one spoke for a while.
