It's noon. The sun is fine, and you won't feel cold when you sit under the wall and bask in the sun. Yin Shitong sat under the wall and ate sweet potatoes, and I sighed as I walked back and forth.

"You sit down and rest for a while, and then you'll have to go to the hall later. Yin Shitong raised his head and said.

"I'm not tired. ”

He handed me another half sweet potato, "Don't be too picky, if you don't eat this, you'll be hungry." "He thought I was used to a good life and couldn't get used to eating this kind of coarse grain. "Eat it, don't leave it to me if you have sweet potatoes in the future, I'll just eat one." ”

I glanced at the sweet potato, pushed it back, and said, "I've eaten it, and the little cook at that inn has a good relationship with me, and often leaves me with the guests' leftovers, didn't I tell you?"

Yin Shitong still raised his hand, "Don't lie to me, the leftovers of the inn are all brought home by the chef, and the little chef can't even catch a single leaf, how can there be leftovers for you?"

I blushed and continued to lie: "Really, don't believe it. If I wasn't afraid of being discovered by others, I'd bring some back for you to eat. I stopped and said, "You see I'm not in good spirits, are you?"

Yin Shitong said: "I'll still keep it for you, and remember to ask me when you're hungry." He put the half sweet potato in his cloth pocket.

I squatted down and faced him and said, "Shitong, this is not a long-term solution, think about it, there is no more lucrative work." ”

Yin Shitong said: "Yes, there is, being a big official, a local owner, a shopkeeper, and a chef, all of which make money, but we can't do it, and we don't have craftsmanship, where does we get the money to earn?"

I was a little frustrated when I heard this, and Yin Shitong sat on the ground, put his hands on his knees, and buried his head between his arms. Yin Shitong saw me and said: "Shaohua, you are a woman, don't be so out of shape." ”

I was upset now, and I didn't want to pay attention to him, but I thought that he was also for my good, so I got up and leaned against the wall.

"Tired?" he asked.

"Nope. I said listlessly.

Yin Shitong felt uncomfortable when he saw me like this, "You are a girl's family, and it is really embarrassing for you to come out at such a young age to disguise yourself as a man and look for work everywhere." Don't worry, in the future, my brother will be developed, and I will definitely let my sister live the life of the eldest lady. "Yin Shitong thinks I'm younger than him, and always calls myself a brother. I don't want to recognize him as my brother, I'm over 800 years old, and I don't respect the old man for the sake of recognizing a seventeen-year-old boy as my brother?

I was very touched by what he said, there is a saying in the world called "adversity sees true love", and I think Yin Shitong's friendship with me really can't be more true.

As soon as I was moved, I couldn't care about any "disrespect for the old", and said: "My brother has such a heart, and my sister doesn't feel bitter anymore at this time." "I said it as if I was really a refugee, and I was stunned as soon as I said this, how can it be like the plot of the storyteller in the teahouse?

Yin Shitong smiled when he heard it, but there was some arrogance of people in the rivers and lakes, I remembered one thing and asked: "Shitong, your father has been in the middle of the move, he should have also taught you articles, right?"

Yin Shitong said: "I have read all the subsets of classics and history, and I also know a little bit about qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but unfortunately I can't use them." He shook his head and said, "It's true that you are useless to be a scholar." ”

I asked, "Have you ever tested for fame?"

"I took the exam, I took the college exam at the age of sixteen, and I won the Xiucai, I wanted to wait for the three-year-old exam, but I didn't know that I encountered a flood, alas. He sighed and said no more.

"Then you can go to the yamen to find an errand!" I jumped up and said, "I heard a few officials in the inn today saying that the secretary of their yamen who made notes had committed an accident and had been dismissed, so you might as well try your luck." ”

Yin Shitong shook his head, "The errand people in the yamen all have backgrounds, I am young, I haven't encountered anything, I don't understand the trivialities of officialdom, he won't hire me." ”

"At least give it a try. ”

"You don't understand the doorway here, even if people are willing to accept me, I won't go, if I can't do it well, it will drag others down, if I offend my boss, it's not as simple as losing my job. ”

At this time, people ran down the street with large bowls, at first it was just one or two people, and then there were more and more such people, and everyone ran in the same direction.

I grabbed a person and asked him what was going on, and the man hurriedly said that the old man of the Zhang family in Hui'an Lane was too long, and the Zhang family was accumulating virtue in soup kitchen.

Without a word, I picked up Shitong and ran to Zhang's house in Hui'an Lane. Porridge, Yin Shitong probably hasn't eaten that thing for half a year.

Yin Shitong also wanted to eat porridge, but he was hungry every day, hungry, and didn't have the strength to run fast, fortunately, I, a "second-rate martial arts master", pulled him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat even if he ran to Hui'an Lane.

There was a long queue at the door of Zhang's house, and Yin Shitong and I were lined up in the middle of a pile of beggars, and the smell of the beggars was not good, but the two of us were concentrating on the porridge pot in front of us at this time, and the smell mixed with the fragrance of porridge wafted over, and we only smelled the smell of porridge.

There are many people with big mouths and long harassers who don't know it, Yin Shitong and I look better than these people.

The old lady of the Zhang family walked out of the door wearing a brightly colored dress, the old lady looked very good, looked at the long queue of porridge and sighed, the girl who was waiting on the side hurriedly asked the old lady what was wrong, but where was it uncomfortable, the old lady pointed her hand and said: "Look at these people, I don't know how many people still have a family and a job in the first half of the year, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and now they have become a begging for food." ”

The waiter said: "Old lady, don't worry about others on the big day, isn't our family giving porridge, didn't you always say in the past, 'All days are passed, only the more the better'? "This girl deserves to be competent, the old lady is old, and she is happy to live, today should not let the old lady worry, but let the old lady be happy and relieved.

Mrs. Zhang said: "Girl, you remember, in this world, the poor are not forever poor, the rich are not forever rich, our family is rich at this time, we should accumulate more 'rich virtue', if our family is poor at this time, we should also accumulate 'poor virtue', accumulate virtue and blessing, and blessing and extend to future generations." You go, sue the kitchen, go buy 200 stone rice, let's put a few more pots, and give porridge for a few more days. ”

The girl answered, turned around and walked to the house, and was stopped by Mrs. Zhang again, "Girl, you go and tell Jiang Zi in the nursing home again, and ask him to take someone outside the city to support a few more cauldrons, and divide 100 stones of rice to boil porridge outside the city." ”

The girl hesitated for a moment and said, "Old lady, it's not safe for our family to have a nursing home, and the 'three thieves case' a few days ago hasn't been settled yet." ”

The old lady said, "Our family gives porridge to save people, but I want to see which unrighteous thief comes to steal our house!"

Mrs. Zhang's shout was loud, and the porridge in front of the queue was heard, and the housekeeper who had been staring at the porridge shed on the side did not forget to give the Zhang family goodness, and said loudly to the old lady before the girl, and everyone was moved to kneel down and thank Mrs. Zhang with tears in their eyes. Mrs. Zhang let go, but her voice couldn't cover everyone, she was old, she couldn't stand this, so she went home with tears in her eyes.

Just in time for the head of the Zhang family to come back in a carriage, he was dressed in dust, obviously he was out of town, and he hurried back to pay his birthday to the old lady. When I got out of the car and saw a long queue kneeling in front of my house, I called the housekeeper and asked what was going on, and the housekeeper told him what was going on.

Yin Shitong and I happened to come out of the team with porridge, and when we heard that Master Zhang was so kind, Yin Shitong's eyes suddenly turned red again. I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't cry, when you have money, you can also be 'Fushide', like the Zhang family, buy rice and cloth to give to the poor." After speaking, he shoved my porridge into his empty hand, "I don't like to drink porridge, you can drink it." ”

Yin Shitong saw that I gave him the food to eat again, and the tears couldn't be stopped, the tears that were still rolling in his eyes flowed out all of a sudden, he wiped his tears, and then straightened his face and glared and said: "I said don't leave the food to me anymore, you have to eat it too, if you are hungry and faint, we don't have the money to treat you!"

"I'm not hungry, I don't like to drink porridge, it's soup and water, it's not as delicious as steamed rice. ”

He was really angry at this time, and yelled at me: "If you don't like to eat, you have to eat! Don't say that you are not hungry!"

The eldest brother in line next to him said, "Little brother, eat, I know that you are filial, but don't be hungry." ”

Another person chimed in and said, "Eat it, you don't have this meal, don't let your brother worry." ”

At this time, Mr. Zhang came over and praised me: "Although the little brother is young, he knows how to respect his brother, and he still thinks about his brother in this situation, and Zhang admires him." ”

I wanted to say, "I don't dare, but Mr. Zhang didn't give me a chance, and he said, "If the two little brothers don't dislike it, they can come to my house to do some chores, and they don't have to beg for a living outside." ”

Yin Shitong quickly bowed and thanked him when he heard this, and I asked, "Do you pay for working at Master Zhang's house?"

As soon as everyone was silent after asking, Yin Shitong pulled me and hurriedly apologized to Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang laughed, but he didn't mind, and said, "Give, twenty times a month, okay?"

I don't know how much money is twenty yuan, I want to ask Yin Shitong, but I saw him squeezing his eyebrows at me, and the housekeeper on the side said: "I have forty yuan a month, twenty yuan is a lot, don't thank you Master Zhang soon!"

I think, the housekeeper only gets forty yuan a month for the people in the house, and Yin Shitong and I each get twenty yuan a month, which adds up to forty yuan, which is as much as the housekeeper, well, it's okay.

"Then thank you, Mr. Zhang. I followed Yin Shitong's appearance and thanked him.

Yin Shitong said: "Don't be surprised by Master Zhang, my younger brother has rarely gone out at home since he was a child, and he doesn't know the rules very well, I will definitely teach him well in the future, and I won't let the master worry about it." ”

I glared at Yin Shitong: Where am I unruly? Yin Shitong pulled me behind my back again.

Master Zhang said: "It's okay, the little brother has a straightforward temperament, which is rare." ”

So, we moved into Zhang's house.

When the housekeeper arranged the work time for us, he asked, "What are your two names?"

"My name is Yin Shitong, and her name is ......"

"My name is Yin Shihua. "I rushed to the road.

Butler: "You first chop wood in the back kitchen, just chop enough for a day, and eat with the people in the kitchen at night, and live in ...... place."

"Butler, in fact, she is ......" Yin Shitong interrupted him, and I interrupted Yin Shitong's words again, "Actually, I have more strength than my brother, and the housekeeper only sends me to do some heavy work and tiring work, as long as, hehe, as long as I am paid more." ”
