"Brother~~~Brother~~~!" the little beggar ran all the way back to the small shack outside the town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"How's that?" the older beggar quickly stood up, "all those turtledoves have been sold?"
"It's sold~~!It's all sold~~!" the little beggar said and carefully took out the money from his arms to sell turtledoves, "And I helped people deliver things to their homes, and I got two pennies more!"
"Really, that's great! Great! So we can afford to treat the third brother!"
"And big brother~!" the little beggar said with an excited expression: "When I went to deliver something, it happened that the person who delivered firewood in the family's store fell and injured himself, and the family opened a restaurant, so he urgently needed firewood, so I took this job over, and I also made my own opinion, no money, just let them take care of us and have a full meal!"
Hearing the younger brother say this, the old beggar thought for a while, although money is a good thing, but there are people like them who don't spend money, so the second brother's decision is quite good, at least they can eat a full meal every day in the future, and they don't necessarily get food every day when they beg on the street every day!
"That's good~~!That's good~~!" said the beggar brother, patting his brother on the shoulder.
"It's just that people are in a hurry, we have to send firewood to others today!" When the little beggar said this, he glanced at the third brother lying on the ground made of grass with some concern, he had been burning for two days, and now he was lying there with a red face, and his breath was weak and frightening.
The beggar brother also looked at the third brother lying there, he thought for a while and said: "You first send the firewood we picked up before, I will carry the third brother to the doctor, after you send those firewoods, the two of us will go to the grove to pick up, and we must pick up enough firewood for others today!"
The little beggar hurriedly found a sturdy hemp rope, tied up all the firewood they had picked up for heating, and put it on his back, while the older beggar picked up the sick third child, and the two brothers hurried up to the town again.
The two parted in the town, the eldest beggar carried his younger brother to the infirmary to see a doctor, while the little beggar carried the bundle of firewood to Li Hui's shop.
"This firewood is good~!It's very dry!Have you sunburned it?" The pillar checked the firewood sent by the little beggar and was very satisfied, most of these firewood are branches, and they don't have the money to buy firewood knives, so they can only find such not very big branches, but these branches are very dry, and they are dried at a glance, which is better than freshly cut firewood, and there is not so much smoke.
"Are these enough today?" the little beggar asked cautiously, just now he also heard from the other party's words that people are still very satisfied with these firewood, and the reason why they are satisfied is because these firewood are relatively dry, originally they have also picked up these firewood for a few days, and put it outside the shack in the open air, there has been no cloudy rain in the past few days, and it must be very dry after being exposed to the sun for a few days!
"That's enough for the afternoon, but tomorrow's will certainly not be enough!" said the pillar, thinking for a moment.
"Then we'll send it early tomorrow morning!" said the little beggar hurriedly.
"That's fine!" Zhu Zi can be regarded as having made friends with this little beggar twice, and the other party is still relatively honest, so Zhu Zi intends to believe him, "But you must come early tomorrow!"
"We will not delay your use of firewood!"
"In this case, the brother served him a bowl of noodles and took a steamed bun, didn't he say that he didn't need money for this firewood, just rice!" Li Hui, who had been sitting on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Yes~~!I'll serve you food!" Zhu Zi also remembered that the little beggar said that he didn't want money, just take care of the food.
"Ah~~!" The little beggar was originally going to refuse, he must have just sent such a little dry firewood, which was not enough at all, but his stomach immediately began to gurgle when he heard it, and he also thought that his eldest brother had not eaten since yesterday to today, and then they had to go to collect firewood, and they had the strength to do this if they didn't eat enough, "That~~~ I don't want noodles anymore! Can you give me two steamed buns? I also have an older brother and a younger brother, the three of us!" ”
"Then take three steamed buns!" Hearing this, the pillar directly opened the cage drawer, took out three big yellow-flour steamed buns from it, found a piece of oiled paper to wrap the steamed buns, and handed them directly to the little beggar, "This is today, you must send all the firewood at noon tomorrow!"
"Okay~~!Okay~~!" The little beggar took the paper bag that was still a little hot to the touch, and nodded again and again with a little sour eyes, "Then I'll go first, you can rest assured that you will definitely send all the firewood over at noon tomorrow!"
The little beggar trotted all the way to Dr. Liu's hospital with a paper bag, and saw his eldest brother taking care of the sick third brother in a corner of the medical hall.
"How's the big brother?" asked the little beggar in a whisper.
"You're here! The firewood was sent over, and the people are still satisfied?" He didn't answer the second brother's question, but he was very anxious to ask if the firewood he had just sent over was satisfactory.
"Satisfied, the master is very satisfied, and said that our firewood is dried, dry, and it is very hot!" After the little beggar finished speaking, he took out the paper bag that still had residual warmth from his arms, "People directly gave three big steamed buns, big brother, you touch it, it's still hot here and that!"
"Really~~!" The beggar brother hurriedly took the paper bag, although the paper bag had not been opened yet, but he could feel the softness and temperature of the steamed bun through the oil paper, and his stomach couldn't help but growl.
"Brother~!There are three steamed buns, let's have one for each of the three of us!" The little beggar swallowed his saliva and said, it took him a lot of perseverance to eat the steamed buns inside without opening the paper packet.
"This~~!" The beggar brother glanced at the second brother's eager eyes, looked at the third brother who had been treated around him, and then thought about tomorrow, a better tomorrow will have a full meal, he decisively opened the paper bag, took out a steamed bun and handed it to the second brother first, and then picked a steamed bun to eat by himself, and the remaining one continued to be wrapped and put in his arms, although the third brother has not woken up yet, but this steamed bun still has to be left for him.
The steamed steamed buns in Li Hui's shop are quite big, and even the coolies on the dock generally feel full after eating two and drinking some hot soup, and the two little beggars each finished eating such a steamed bun, how long did it take to feel full again, which made the two children burst into tears in an instant.
"Let's go~~!Let's go collect firewood!Let the third brother rest in Dr. Liu's infirmary!" The little beggar who was a little older wiped a handful of tears and said in a firm tone, once again he was full and he was reluctant to give up the right to be full, so now they have to seize this opportunity no matter what.
"Hmm~~!" the little beggar also nodded, for a child of his status, being able to eat a full meal is the most important thing.
The sick little beggar had been drugged before, although the person had not yet woken up but the fever had subsided, the two of them were very grateful to Dr. Liu, who did not dislike their identity and was still willing to help, and then carried the little brother and hurriedly went out of the town with the medicine, and returned to their shack to settle the sick little brother, and the two of them hurried to the grove they did not want to collect firewood.
"Second brother, you said that family said that our firewood is relatively dry?" asked the younger brother, who was the eldest brother, searching for dead branches on the ground that could be used as firewood.
"Hmm~!" The little beggar nodded and said, "Big brother, I think let's pick up more firewood today, the weather is very good these days, let's put these firewood there to dry and send them to others!"
"Well~~!You're right, wait a minute, let's go back and divide these firewoods well, pick out the dry ones and send them over tomorrow, and dry those that are more humid!" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "You said that if we send these firewood over tomorrow, what will they give us to eat?"
"I don't know~!" As soon as this topic was discussed, even if he was a little beggar who had just eaten enough, he still felt that he could still eat such a big steamed bun, "Originally, when I passed today, people said that they would give me noodles, but the noodles were not easy to take, so I asked for steamed buns, that one is open, and there should be a lot of food in the store!"
When the little beggar heard his brother say this, the saliva in his mouth suddenly overflowed, noodles~! How long has he not eaten it, it seems that he still ate noodles when his father and mother were alive, and it seems to be the most beautiful thing in his heart to be able to eat a mouthful of noodles, "Tomorrow, the two of us will go over to deliver firewood together, and when the time comes, take the small jar and give the third brother a bowl of noodles back!"
"Okay~~!" the little beggar immediately replied cheerfully, for tomorrow's face he was even more energetic, the two of them searched in the grove, resolutely not letting go of any piece of firewood.
The two little beggars picked up until the sun was in the west, then carried heavy firewood on their backs, dragging their tired bodies to the shack where they lived, although the two of them said that they were very tired, and their stomachs that had been hard to eat before were also empty because of this labor, but even if they looked like this, the two of them were smiling, because they knew that tomorrow~!
When the two of them returned to the shack, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the younger brother had sobered up, and the two brothers hurriedly fetched water and boiled medicine, and then boiled the medicine, and then the eldest brother also broke the yellow-flour steamed bun that he had left for the younger brother before, and put it into a piece of choshi, and the dove was boiled in half a turtledove, which he accidentally killed yesterday, and the other ones were sold for money to treat the younger brother, and this one died and left it to be stewed for the younger brother to eat.
The younger brother who woke up didn't realize where the yellow-noodle steamed buns that had been soaked into a paste came from, but according to the convention, he felt that it should be the two elder brothers begging for food, and he woke up from the coma because he was hungry, and he didn't think about holding Chozi and eating all the things inside, and after he was full, he drank the medicine again, and soon he fell asleep again.
"Look at the third brother like this, this disease should be cured immediately!" Feeling the steady breathing of the little brother lying beside him, the little beggar said happily.
"Hmm~~!It should be fine soon!" Although today's busyness made him sore now, but the excitement made it difficult for him to sleep, he lay there and muttered: "Just wait until tomorrow! Everything should be fine tomorrow!"

"Do you think this thing can be done?" Zheng said his thoughts while washing his man's feet with a flattering face.
"You can do this thing! I don't care~! I will only go home for so long, I don't want to hear about these troublesome things!" Zheng Hu said impatiently, "But I told you this time, if you cause me any trouble outside, be careful that I break your legs!"
Zheng Shi's body couldn't help but tremble when she heard her man say this, she quickly lowered her head and washed her man's feet very carefully.
Zheng Hu is a boat runner, often takes his second son and doesn't go home for a few months, so he doesn't care about the things in the family at all, in fact, even if he is in the family, he rarely cares, his personality is more poisonous, as long as he has a good life, although he has two sons, but for his daughter-in-law and children, he has not cared too much, in the past, the money he earned every month was just enough for his wife and children to live, and now that the two children can earn money, he will take less money from the house, which is why Zheng will spend money to buy the eldest daughter-in-law so disliked。
Zheng washed his man's feet and served him to sleep, so she went out with the foot-washing water, but she also understood that she went out, but directly handed the basin to her daughter-in-law who had been waiting outside the door.
"What are you doing here like a mourning god!" Zheng cursed as soon as he saw his eldest daughter-in-law, but her voice cursing today was very low, because she was afraid that she would make noise about her man, although Zheng Hu's name has a tiger character in it, but in fact, his 'tiger' is only used for his wife and children, and now that his two sons are older, he only uses it for his wife, as long as one does not go well, Zheng will be beaten up, so Zheng is very afraid of his own man.
