"Everyone, work hard, only the last car!" Early in the morning, Steward Liu of Wilmar Granary shouted to the guys and a few temporarily hired laborers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is the largest grain store in Kyoto, every two or three months to fill the warehouse, this time the filling of the warehouse compared to the previous increase several times, soon after the emperor's birthday, the capital will become more and more lively, due to the period of the five different places to gather the population surge, then the grain truck into the city will also be limited, so this time the whole half of the rice grain is prepared.

I saw a bag of rice floating in the air abruptly, and when I got closer, I found that this strange bag of rice actually had two thin legs, and it was moving quickly to the warehouse, and I had to be in front of it to see clearly, it turned out to be a thin child carrying rice, and the rice bag had completely covered his upper body.

A child of about six or seven years old can carry a bag of rice that is about the same weight as himself, at first everyone was amazed, every time the granary transports rice, this child will come to help, and after a long time, everyone will be surprised and indifferent. Although the child is skinny and does not work less efficiently than other adults, he never asks for a penny, but after the whole batch of rice bags is unloaded, he will take out a dirty cloth bag, squat on the ground and carefully pick up the spilled rice grains one by one.

Hearing the shouts of the steward, the child couldn't help but speed up his pace, after unloading the last cart, he could pick up rice again, their house had not been uncovered for three whole days, thinking of the mother who depended on each other, the child couldn't help but have red eyes. In the past, my mother washed the clothes for the rich and noble people every day, and when I didn't have a job, I went up the mountain every day to chop wood and pick up fruits, and the days of coarse tea and light rice were also delicious, but since not long ago, my mother was infected with wind cold, because there was no money to treat the disease and catch medicine, the little wind cold became more and more bad, and now it is so serious that I am bedridden all day, coughing for a long time, and my whole body is weak.

After finally carrying the last truckload of grain, a group of shirtless men lined up to receive their wages, but instead of picking up rice as usual, the children stood at the end of the line and stared straight at the steward's money bag. I didn't know that the steward had already calculated everyone's wages, and when the money bag was already empty at the end, I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw the children. Seeing this, the child's cheeks turned crimson, turned his head and ran, but he didn't run far and then turned back, took out the cloth bag and lowered his head as usual to silently pick up rice.

"Baowa, Baowa."

After picking up the broken rice, the child consciously cleaned the warehouse compound, and was about to leave when he heard Steward Liu calling his name. "Baowa, come over here."

Steward Liu was waving to him, Baowa blushed, walked slowly, and thought worriedly: Could it be that I tried to get paid just now to be blamed, what if I don't let me pick up rice in the future?

But seeing that Liu took out a bag of broken money, he said to Baowa with a kind face: "Child, every time you come to help with the rice, you do no less coolies than those big men, but you have never asked for a salary." Take it, these are what you deserve. ”

Baowa hesitated and stretched out her hands, and retracted them again, feeling ashamed, every time she picked up the rice back, she could eat it for a long time, which was more cost-effective than the salary, and now she was embarrassed to ask for wages again.

"Sensible child, you must have encountered some difficulties, come out and see if Uncle Liu can help a little?" Steward Liu stuffed the money bag into Baowa's hand.

How do you know that Baowa pounced and knelt on the ground, and cried loudly, Steward Liu shook his head and sighed, after all, he was just a child, and he couldn't help crying when he was bored.

"My mother is sick, and I want to take money for medicine. Uncle Liu, thank you, if you have any dirty work in the future, even if you let Baowa do it, you will not be charged. Baowa hugged the money bag tightly, as if holding a rare treasure, knelt on the ground and sobbed.

Steward Liu saw that he was so sensible, and he was so young and powerful, he had the heart to recruit him as a buddy, so that he could have an income to support the family, "Baowa, it's rare for you to be filial, and when your mother's illness is cured, you can come to the granary to do a long job, I don't know what you think?" The steward said politely, and he didn't know if the seven-year-old child could understand, so he turned around and handed two clean cloth bags to Baowa, which were full of rice, and asked him to take them back and eat more.

Baowa naturally nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes, she could work for such a good owner for a long time, and she would never have to worry about eating in the future. After a thousand thanks, he hurried home, although the rice that Steward Liu gave him was solid and had several catties, but this weight was really not a burden for Baowa, who carried heavy objects all year round.

Bao Wa ran out of the city in one breath, and saw that the most dilapidated and fragile wooden house in the village was his home, and remembered the weak mother on the sickbed, Bao Wa quickened her pace.

From afar, I saw that on the forked path ahead, several children were frolicking in groups, and they must have just escaped from school, planning which orchard to steal and eat.

Baowa couldn't help but sigh, she was over seven years old, but she never dared to hope to enter the school, to be able to eat enough is already content, and this group of children are completely in the blessing and do not know the blessing, good school is not on, always skipping class to make trouble, all to the family trouble, although living in the same small village, but Baowa does not have a partner of the same age, uncompatible, different ways do not conspire, Baowa decided to take a detour, so as not to bump into them and be teased.

It's a pity that it backfired, and within two steps of walking, he was looked at by the sharp-eyed Ah Feng, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Isn't that Baowa?" What kind of strange treasure is this mentioning, and I won't go home on the avenue. ”

The leading child's name is Zhuang Page, and with a wave of his hand, the children followed him towards Baowa, who seemed to be bored and wanted to find an unlucky ghost to bully, so they bumped into Baowa.

Zhuang page is the eldest of these children, it is said that he was born with a full eight pounds and eight taels, the family was very happy, named him Zhuangshuo, but unfortunately the adults have no culture, the Shuo word is written into a page.

"What kind of treasure are they in these bags? An eye-opener for your partners. Ah Feng is Zhuangye's first attendant, and he stopped in front of Baowa in a weird way.

"These are two bags of rice, nothing to look at." Bao Wa turned sideways and tried to pass between them, and as soon as they got home, they wouldn't come to trouble themselves.

"Eh, don't be in a hurry, where did you get the rice? It shouldn't have been stolen from my house, looking at the cloth bag, it's a bit like a mile. Ah Feng grabbed Baowa's collar, Zhuang Page and others also strictly blocked Baowa's front, and Baowa had no way out for a while.

If it were usual, Baowa would push them away and run away, and the children in the same village would not go too far, and they would no longer make trouble when they chased them to the door, but today it was very inconvenient to run with these two bags of rice, and because of the tattered clothes, the money bag around the waist was not very stable, for fear that the broken money would spill out if they ran violently.
