The next day, the two slept until three o'clock in the morning, left a note for lunch, pressed it on the dining table, and went out with their small schoolbags and short legs.

When he came to the place where the letter of introduction was opened, Shen Su first observed at the door, and then inquired around.

Then he pulled the inexplicable Suki to find a courtyard a little farther away, the gate of the yard was open, and there were many mixed families living inside.

Shen Su actually didn't want to find this kind of mixed place, there were many people, but this area seemed to be this kind of big yard, and he didn't see an independent small house after looking around.

Seeing Shen Su raise her feet and walk inside, Su Qi hurriedly pulled her, "What are you doing, the person who opened the letter of introduction lives here, and you want to find him through the back door?"

Shen Su rolled his eyes very indecently, "I don't even know who the person who opened the letter of introduction is, how to go through the back door!"

"Then who are you looking for," Suki was puzzled.

"Go in first, we'll talk about it later. He pulled Suki and walked in.

That is, there are about five or six families living in a courtyard, there are running water pipes in the middle of the yard, and there is a kitchen built by itself outside each room.

At this point in time, except for the elderly and children, Shen Su came for children.

After looking around, the door of the room on the left was open, and he walked over and knocked on the door. "Is anyone home?"

"Who," followed by the voice of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with two braided flowers.

The little girl came out and saw two half-grown children standing in front of her house, and she was stunned. A foreign coat, wearing beautiful little boots on his feet that he had never seen before, fluffy, very warm to look at, and a long cashmere scarf and hat wrapped tightly, revealing two big gurgling eyes.

She had seen this kind of coat, which was sold in department stores, it was very expensive, and someone in her class wore it and showed it off for a long time, and her father was a big official. The little girl subconsciously looked at the flower cotton jacket that her mother had wrapped around her body for a whole year, and pursed her lips.

Slightly cramped, he said, "Who are you looking for?"

Shen Su smiled, "Hello sister, do you have any old clothes worn by eight or nine-year-old children in your family?"

The little girl was stunned, "My second sister is ten years old this year, and the clothes she wears are all changed from my old clothes." It seems that he was afraid that the two of them would open their mouths to ask for it, so they hurriedly added. "But she only has two clothes, she doesn't have to wear them when she gives them to them, and she has to keep them for her little sister to wear in the future." ”

Shen Su and Su Qi were ashamed for a while when they heard this, and the two of them really didn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings.

Shen Su said with a little embarrassment, "Don't worry, sister, we won't take you for nothing." Sell us one and you can buy a new one with your money. ”

"What?" the little girl's suspicious gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, she really couldn't understand what was the use of two beautiful girls in such a beautiful dress to pay for a torn dress, isn't it a lot of money?

"It's such a sister, my grandfather's family is rural, and I am going back to my hometown recently, we are afraid that my aunt will be unhappy if she dresses too well, and my aunt is very fierce. Suki spoke timidly.

Although she didn't understand what Shen Su wanted to do, it didn't hinder the tacit understanding between the two of them in the slightest.

Shen Su nodded again and again after hearing this, "Auntie is terrible and can beat people." ”

"That's right. The little girl looked at the two with very sympathetic eyes, it turned out that they were two children who had no mother and were bullied by their aunts, and it seemed that they were not necessarily happy if they were rich.

"I can sell you two, how much can you pay?" "The little girl is very shrewd.

"Sister, we just want one, my sister won't go back. Shen Su was very generous, "Sister thinks how much money is appropriate." ”

Hearing Shen Su's words, Su Qi pursed her lips, obviously she was her sister.

The little girl thought for a moment, "Do you want a blouse or pants, or a full set?"

Shen Su thought for a while, "Is there a torn cotton jacket that you can wear now?" ”

The little girl waved her hand again and again, "No, no, no, the padded jacket can't be sold." "I'm going to swallow the money privately, if my parents find out that my second sister's padded jacket is missing, I can't give her my own.

"Then get a slightly thicker blouse. Shen Su had seen someone wear a smock over a padded jacket.

"Yes, ten bucks. The little girl said quickly.

Shen Su glanced at her and smiled, you can buy a new one in the department store for ten yuan, it's all patches, and you dare to ask for ten yuan, this is to use the two of them as fat sheep to slaughter.

Su Qi stretched out her hand and gestured, "Five yuan, don't sell it." ”

When the little girl saw that the two were about to leave, she hurriedly agreed and ran into the house to get her clothes.

took the clothes and went out to find a secluded place for Su Qi to change her clothes, took out another set of cosmetics and put on some makeup, the two of them exchanged lines, and walked to the place again to open the letter of introduction.

Su Qi took Shen Su's household registration book into the house, crying at the uncles and aunts, claiming that she was a martyr's child and lived in a relative's house, but the relatives beat and scolded her every day, and she had endless work every day, not enough to eat and wear.

The uncles and aunts couldn't help but believe it when they saw that Su Qi was still wearing a thin blouse on a cold day, her yellow face, and the scars that were faintly leaking on her arms, and they saw that Shen Su's parents were martyrs in the household registration book, and now she was the only lonely living person, and they were even more angry, and they condemned the so-called relatives in Su Qi's mouth, and threatened to ask for an explanation.

Su Qi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly stopped it. "It's useless, they won't admit it, they'll say I deliberately wore it this way to fight my cousin for new clothes. "With red eyes and a sad face," said an aunt who went to the house last time and asked, that's what they said. ”

Uncles and aunts don't know what to do when they hear it. "What can I do? ”

Su Qi hurriedly said, "I still have an uncle in the capital, he can't leave the army, I want to find him." ”

"Well, if you want to go out at such a young age, you have to inform your family. Uncle Yi said with some hesitation.

"I can't inform them, they adopted me for my parents' pension, and they won't let me go for money. His eyes widened and he waved his hands repeatedly, looking frightened.

"Even if we open it for you, the capital is so big, where are you going to find your uncle. "An aunt was a little unbearable.

When Su Qi heard it, there was a play. Hurriedly said, "I know the address of my uncle's unit, and I will send him a telegram before I go and ask him to pick me up at the train station." ”

"It's not impossible, open it for her. One aunt agreed, asking the others for their opinions, "What do you think?" ”

Everyone agreed, signed and sealed, Su Qi thanked him repeatedly, and turned to leave amid an exhortation to go out and pay attention to safety.
