Chapter 12: The so-called handyman is in name only
The next day, Granny Meng woke me up on time, prepared some snacks for me to put in my clothes pocket, and looked at me with a distressed face: "I have wronged our Xiaoshi, and we are still so young, so we have to go to work for others." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Alas, if my wife can pay for that precious money, it will not make you suffer those sins. Xiaoshi, you have to learn to be flexible when you go there, and you have to pick up good things when you speak, and if you do things well, the shopkeeper will take care of you more. I'm afraid he won't give you food, so I've packed some snacks for you, and if you're hungry, you'll have to eat some free. ”
"Granny Meng, you forgot, I'm a stone spirit, it's enough to absorb the aura, and I don't need to eat at all. ”
"What do you mean by this, since I beat you and me, which meal have I given you an empty stomach? This handyman must not be wronged, and when I feel uncomfortable, I will be much better if I eat something. You don't know what kind of place the pawnshop is, Zhou Jibai is so difficult to deal with a person, and after only a few days, he was tossed like that. You are young, what if you suffer too many sins and leave some diseases in the future!"
After listening to Granny Meng's words, on the one hand, I was moved by her concern for me, and on the other hand, I felt that she was thinking too much: "Granny Meng, in fact, Shopkeeper Mo and Uncle Jiang are not so bad." Who knew that Granny Meng was anxious when she heard this: "How many people have you met? How many meals have you eat......en? Actually, you don't have to comfort me, I'm useless, and I still rely on you to comfort me at this age. Don't worry, Granny Meng will definitely make good money, even if she borrows money, she will redeem you as soon as possible. "At this time, it is really weak and pale to explain this kind of thing, and I originally wanted to explain it again, but now, forget it, I won't talk about it.
When Shopkeeper Mo opened the door of the store, he found that I was already waiting at the door: "Yo, Xiaoshi is here so early." Come on, come on, come in. ”
"Grandpa Mo is early. I whispered a greeting and walked into the pawnshop. Shopkeeper Mo bent his eyes, and his beard shook happily: "Hehe, early, early." Next time, don't be so early. The store doesn't officially open until around the clock, and there isn't a lot of business, so you're at the age of growing your body, so it's a serious thing to sleep more. Why are you still standing, just sit casually, don't get tired. "I waited for Shopkeeper Mo to give me the task to be done, but I didn't know that Shopkeeper Mo walked around inside and out for a long time, making a pot of tea for a while, tidying up the counter for a while, and didn't see what I was told to do.
"Grandpa Mo, if there is any work to do, you can just tell me. Shopkeeper Mo waved his hand again and again: "What is there to do? There are few people in the store and little business, and there is no work, so you just treat this place as your home, ah, just drink tea and read books." ”
I was stunned when I heard this, why is this so much different from what Granny Meng said: "But I'm here to work as a helper to pay back, didn't I lose the beads?"
"Old Mo, since Xiao Shi wants to do things so much, let's just find something for her to do. Jiang Yu didn't know when he appeared in the hall, he was sitting on a chair, still holding a cup of tea made by the shopkeeper Mo. Seeing that Shopkeeper Mo bowed to Jiang Yu, I did the same: "It's good to have a young owner." ”
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows playfully: "Shao, Dong, home, why have you never felt so awkward about this word after listening to it for so long?" Since the young owner has spoken, he can't help but do it: "Uncle Jiang is good." "Click-" A strange sound came from the quiet air, I looked around, but I didn't find anything unusual, only saw that Shopkeeper Mo kept squeezing my eyebrows and gesticulating.
"Heh, Xiao Shi thinks, I'm very old?" Jiang Yu was indeed laughing, but how awkward was that expression.
"No, if you compare it with Hades, you won't be old. But you're more than 1,800 years older than me, so that's not too small. His smile seemed to be uncontrollable, his face was gloomy, and a few words were squeezed out from between his teeth: "No need to change it." ”
I don't know why, I looked at the shopkeeper Mo, and at this time, the shopkeeper Mo rubbed the ground with his shoes, looking at the sky for a while, and looking at the ground for a while, but he refused to look at me. I saw Jiang Yu exhale slowly: "I said, there is no need to change the name." The tea is cold, go and pour it out for me. "Oh, okay. Seeing that there was work, I hurriedly stepped forward to take it and walked to the backyard, but as soon as I reached the backyard, the cup broke into evenly sized particles in my hand. My first reaction was, it's over, it's broken again. Adhering to the principle of having the courage to admit my mistakes, I was holding a pile of debris and ready to admit my mistakes. When I just walked to the door of the front hall, I saw Jiang Yu squinting at Shopkeeper Mo: "You taught?" Shopkeeper Mo's head shook like a rattle: "It's not me, it's not me." It was Hades who made Xiao Shi call you that. It really has nothing to do with me. Jiang Yu leaned back after hearing this, supported his chin with one hand, and knocked on the table rhythmically with the other: "Hades? “
I held my hands and walked forward slowly, Jiang Yu just saw it but seemed to already know what was happening, and waved his fingers: "Just throw it away." But he paused again: "The cup money will be slowly deducted from your monthly salary." "Well, I haven't done anything yet, but I owe more and more things. It's a long way to think about your life in a pawnshop. However, many years later, I realized that the cup really didn't break because I broke it, and the "click" sound I heard before was not an illusion. It's just Jiang Mata's revenge for calling him uncle.
When Jiang Yu turned around and left, Shopkeeper Mo handed over a thick booklet: "You have to take a good look at this booklet in the past two days, it is a list of treasures in our store, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask me." However, since I opened the booklet, my brows have not stretched, and after roughly flipping through a few sheets: "Grandpa Mo, I don't understand." Shopkeeper Mo put down the things in his hand: "Oh, where don't you understand?" I don't recognize the words. Shopkeeper Mo patted his head: "How did I forget this stubble, you haven't gone to school yet." Then, from today onwards, you can learn words from me first. ”
Shopkeeper Mo took me to the counter, took a beautifully made wolf brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper one by one: "Look, this one horizontal is one, and two horizontal is two...... A pinch is a human ...... That's all I have to say, you write according to my words first, memorize the strokes and then try to write yourself. "It's very strange that I have an impression of almost all of these words, it seems that many people would carve words on the stone when I was in the Sansheng Stone, and there were these, but I don't know how to read them, and what they mean. So once I knew the meaning of pronunciation, I was able to connect them naturally, and I was able to write smoothly. Shopkeeper Mo saw that I was digesting these quickly, and he was pleasantly surprised to teach some more words, and after a day, even the eyes that looked at me changed: "Wizard, genius, as soon as you teach, are you really a stone spirit?" "No, the stone spirit will never be so smart, isn't it-" Seeing the way Shopkeeper Mo thought about it, I stared at him and waited for his answer, "Could it be that my teaching ability is so high, old man?" ...... "I don't know how to respond, and I don't know what else to say."
When I went back in the evening, Granny Meng had already prepared a table of meals waiting for me, and the battle was so big, as if this was the last meal in my life, no, demon life. Granny Meng pulled me into her arms and hugged me for a long time: "What's the matter, did they bully you? Looking at Granny Meng's eyes, she suddenly felt that something in her heart was about to melt: "No." They didn't bully me and the meals were good. "Really?" "Really. "Eat first, talk while eating, eat some meat, grow up, and then eat some food to prevent ...... from getting hot"
Looking at the tall dishes piled up in the bowl, I really couldn't cry or laugh, so I could only talk about the store while eating: "I broke another cup." ”
"For drinking water?" Granny Meng's eyes widened, and she was relieved to see me nodding her head: "Whew, that's okay." ”
But the shopkeeper Mo said that the cup was the beloved collection of Emperor Fuxi in ancient times, and there is only one left at the bottom today. Granny Meng's hand holding the chopsticks tightened suddenly, and the chopsticks broke in response.
"Mother-in-law......"
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, you go on eating, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it'......s Xiaoshi, what will you do in the future, when is this a head? ”
"Granny Meng, don't cry. Anyway, I'll just be able to do it slowly. Besides, I didn't let me do any work at all today, but Shopkeeper Mo kept teaching me to write. That, lunch is also very good, I ate with the shopkeeper Mo, three meats, two vegetables, a soup, and dessert. It's all made by the shopkeeper Mo, and it's really delicious. I paid attention to Granny Meng's expression as I spoke, and when I saw that her face was better, I continued: "I learned a lot of words today, and the shopkeeper Mo praised me for being smart, saying that I can teach and am a genius." “
Granny Meng nodded seriously: "Our Xiaoshi is so smart and still use him to praise!?"
He later said that he thought it was because of his strong teaching ability. “
"Bah, why are you so cheeky when you're so old. “
"Ao, by the way, Granny Meng, the shopkeeper Mo said that I still have a moon. I was supposed to pay off my debts, I don't have to do anything, I still have money at the end of the month, why is that?"
"Why else, our Xiaoshi is so good, going to their store to help is wronged you, give some money, it should be." Did he say how much the monthly salary was?"
"It's twenty taels, and if it's done well, it will go up later. ”
"Much, how much? Twenty, two?"
Seeing Granny Meng's surprised expression, I expressed my doubts: "Is twenty taels a lot?"
"I haven't received that much money for half a year. “
"Oh -- that's a lot. “
”......“
There is no pawnshop.
"How about it, I gave Xiaoshi twenty taels of moon, what is her reaction. “
Shopkeeper Mo looked at Jiang Yu's expression as if he was waiting for a natural answer, and resisted the urge to laugh: "Uh-no response." ”
"Hmm, no response, no response, no response to twenty taels, this is in the underworld-"
Shopkeeper Mo interrupted his young master for the first time: "I think, Xiao Shi should have no idea how much money there is...... That is, she still doesn't know what the amount of money is...... In her opinion, there should be no difference between twenty taels and two taels. It was rare to see Jiang Yu suffocating, and Shopkeeper Mo had already secretly laughed 108,000 times in his heart.
"Tomorrow, teach her arithmetic. ”
"Yes. ”
