After the business was good, Dongmei was a little busy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

She knew that if she didn't have anyone to help, she wouldn't work at all.

I had to hire someone to help.

But who to hire?

After thinking about it, Dongmei still came to Sister-in-law Du's house.

Sister-in-law Du saw Dongmei Dongmei coming, and warmly invited her into the house.

When Dongmei saw Sister-in-law Du, she cleaned up the house very cleanly, and praised Sister-in-law Du and said, "Sister-in-law Du, you are so diligent, you clean up the house." “

Sister-in-law Du said with a smile: "When Lao Du is not there, the house will be cleaned up, as soon as he comes back, he drinks every day, and the house is not in shape." “

Dongmei saw the stitches and said, "Since Lao Du didn't come back, you stay at home alone, it's okay, why don't you follow me to work?"

Sister-in-law Du asked, "What kind of work are you doing?"

Dongmei said: "What else can I do, of course, as before, to help sell me steamed buns." “

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Du paused and said, "This year, I may be a little inconvenient. “

Dongmei said: "It's still the same as before, you only come over in the morning and afternoon every day, and I will raise your salary to fifteen yuan a day, what do you think?"

Dongmei knew that Sister-in-law Du was short of money, so she deliberately raised her salary to fifteen yuan.

She originally thought that Sister-in-law Du would definitely follow her to work.

However, what she didn't expect was that Sister-in-law Du actually rejected Dongmei, she said: "Dongmei, it's not that I don't work with you, it's mainly my family Du Yan, this year's junior high school entrance exam, if the exam is good, she will go to Changqing No. 7 Middle School, if the test is bad, she will go to Changqing No. 3 Middle School, so I have to work hard." “

Hearing this, Dongmei was speechless, she knew that her children's learning must be more important than part-time jobs.

After bidding farewell to Sister-in-law Du's house, Dongmei went to a few friends' houses one after another, hoping to hire women to work for herself.

However, to Dongmei's surprise, she turned around and did not hire any workers.

Women can't be hired, but men can.

However, Dongmei thought about it, although men have great strength and work quickly, but they work with a man every day, and they get up early and are greedy together, so it is inevitable to hear the gossip of the people around them.

If you don't get it, it will reach Wei Guo's ears, and Wei Guo will rush back and not break his leg?

No way, Dongmei can only be alone and pick up all the burdens.

However, compared to before, Dongmei also wanted to open.

Do your best in everything, how much food you can sell, how much rice you can have, don't force it anymore, your body matters.

Because, after a few years of selling food, Dongmei's body has been seriously blessed and fattened a lot.

She even felt that she usually walked, a little faster, and felt out of breath.

If you ride a bike to climb a slope again, you will be even more tired.

However, just before Dongmei didn't do business and gained weight, not to mention walking uphill, even running up the mountain, she was not out of breath like now.

Dongmei wants to lose weight, but she doesn't have any conditions to lose weight.

If you lose weight, you will starve, but if you are hungry, you will have no strength, and if you don't have the strength, how can you sell food at the farmer's market?

Besides, if you lose weight, you have to eat less, if you eat less, you have to throw away the leftover xiaolongbao every day, it is a bun filled with white flour and meat, and throwing it away is simply a sin.

Forget it, it's better to eat it yourself, at least not to waste food.

Although Dongmei is trying to stick to her work every day, after all, she is a person who has more than enough heart and not enough strength.

Just when she was worried and felt that she couldn't hold on.

That night, Dongmei was dragging her tired body and busy in the kitchen.

She suddenly heard someone shouting her name on the asphalt road outside: Dongmei, Dongmei?

Moreover, this voice is particularly like the voice of a mother.

Dongmei frowned, and said in her heart, is she tired, she has auditory hallucinations at this time, and she actually heard her mother's voice?

Mother, an illiterate rural old woman, how could she come here alone without anyone to lead her?

Just when Dongmei was surprised, the voice shouting Dongmei sounded again.

"Dongmei, Dongmei. “

Dong Meixin said, could it be that my mother is really here?

However, according to the usual habit, whenever there is a letter, I will see a spider.

If a loved one comes, the palm of your hand will itch.

In the past, due to the lack of communication tools such as telephones, Dongmei's habit was tried and tested.

But today, there is no itch in the palm of my hand, is my mother here?

Thinking about it, Dongmei took off the apron tied around her waist and walked out of the door.

At night, it was already dark outside, and under the dim street lamp, Dongmei saw an old lady in a coarse cotton jacket standing there.

Wrapped in a black headscarf and carrying this floral cloth bag in her hand, she was wandering in front of the cadre building.

I saw that the old lady was walking around, shouting Dongmei's name as she walked.

Dongmei shouted at the old lady, "Mom, is that you?"

"Dongmei, I found you. Dongmei's mother said excitedly.

Dongmei took three steps and made two steps, and hurriedly stepped forward.

She took the burden from her mother's hand, looked at her mother in surprise, and said, "Mom, why are you here?"

When Dongmei's mother saw Dongmei, it was like a fish seeing water, and she quickly felt a sense of security.

She said, "If you stay at home, you will stay, and I want to come to you and help you work and sell food." “

The current weather, although it is not as cold as it was in Sanjiu, but staying in the cold wind for a long time still makes people chill.

She said, "Mom, since you want to come, you should call in advance, so that I can pick you up at the gate of the base." “

Dongmei's mother followed Dongmei into the house and was quickly surrounded by warmth.

She said comfortably: "The phone number you gave me, I wrote it on a note, I don't know where I put it, I can't find it." “

Dongmei didn't expect that her mother, an illiterate old lady, could touch all the way, come by car, and find her home, which is really not easy.

Dongmei said, "Then you, how did you come by car?"

Dongmei's mother said: "I'll ask your father to send me to the county, let me take the car in Yan'an City, Baojifa, and sit here." “

Dongmei asked with concern: "Then did they put you at the gate of the base?"

Dongmei's mother said: "I still remember your place, called Drill Yiyaodian base, but as soon as I got in the car, I forgot everything, the driver asked me where to go, I said to go to Ganquan, he asked me where to go to Ganquan, but I didn't understand." “

"How did the driver finally know that this was here, and besides, it was getting dark?"

"I don't know how to say it, I said that it is the place where the lights are the brightest at night. I know, we are here, the factory and mining enterprises, even at night, the lights are very bright, so they put me here. “

"Mom, you are lucky, the car you are in, the driver is still responsible, if you meet that kind of irresponsible driver, just put you down, you are not familiar with life, and there is no contact information, one night down, wouldn't you freeze to death." “

couldn't help it, Dongmei was faintly afraid.
