Jin Qiwu has been on the dock for more than ten days, and he has spent all his time here, but he can't get back a little return.

At first, he spent four dollars every day to ride in a carriage, and it was okay to talk about it for a day or two, but slowly, he didn't have the old face to go out to ask his wife for money every day.

Make up his mind to get up early every day and walk into the town, go back and forth for two or three hours, and arrive home at night, Jin Qiwu has to be careful when he drags off his shoes and socks, for fear of rubbing the blood blisters from the soles of his feet. For fear of the child's mother's worries, he didn't even dare to soak in hot water.

Maybe it's a cheap bottom, I couldn't lift my feet when I walked before, but in a few days, from the village to the town, it was just a few more breaths, although there was some slight numbness in the legs, there was no pain, obviously I had adapted.

The day before yesterday, the number of ships passing by the wharf skyrocketed, and there were a lot of unloading and loading every day. Jin Qiwu didn't think much about it, and stepped forward to sign up.

Although it is very tiring, it can be carried for ten bags and has a penny's wages, which is a lot more than long-term work.

On the first day, Jin Qiwu only made nine yuan for back pain, but yesterday it was better, and he had fifteen more yuan in his pocket. I don't know if I'm tired or hateful, Jin Qiwu almost didn't get up this morning, and the hot pain in his back was like tearing.

But when he thought of the money he could get, he gritted his teeth and got up and went out.

As soon as he left the village, he encountered a horse-drawn carriage passing by, and Jin Qiwu thought that riding in a carriage was equivalent to carrying twenty bags, so he suddenly lost his mind and walked forward obediently.

Today's scorching sun is like a blazing sun, the sun is scorching, Jin Qiwu licked his chapped lips, his eyes were black, he was a little dizzy, his body staggered forward two steps, and the burlap bag on his back almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, he was supported by Yongxin, who came in a hurry.

"Second uncle, are you okay?" The weight suddenly pressed on his body, Yongxin was a little struggling, he helped Jin Qiwu and put the bag on his back with one hand, which was a little better.

Reducing the weight on his body, Jin Qiwu felt more relaxed, but he still couldn't stand up with his bent waist, he shook his head slightly, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

After making sure that the second uncle could stand firmly, Yongxin put another burlap bag on his body, and he asked, "Second uncle, where is it transported?" I carried it. ”

Jin Qiwu was not polite, he held his knees and rested for a while, then pointed to the place where there were many people lining up in front of him, and said, "It is said that Jin Qiwu can receive two cents." ”

It just so happened that these two bags were the nineteenth or twentieth bags he carried today, and every ten bags could be settled in cash.

Yongxin answered, and after carrying the heavy object on his back, he walked forward quickly.

Jin Qiwu found a step and sat down, he beckoned to his little sister and asked, "Why are you on the street again, is your mother ready?" ”

In the past few days, Jin Qiwu has been going out early and returning late, and what happened at home is really unclear, even Shu's family, who is in the same room, has never said a word to him since that incident. And in his impression, the little sister seems to be still grounded.

Jin Yun nodded, stepped forward and did not squat, but stood beside him.

After that, the two looked at each other and did not speak.

It just so happened that there was a sugar gourd seller next to him, Jin Qiwu stepped forward to ask, and he didn't know what to say to the man, and after a little hesitation, he reached into his pocket and took out two pennies in exchange for a sugar gourd.

There were only seven fruits on a sugar gourd, and he took off the first four with a handkerchief and handed them over: "Take them, I'll take them back to your nephews and nieces to eat, they haven't tasted sweetness for a long time." ”

Jin Yun was puzzled, you must know that in addition to Jin Ye, the person who the Jin family doesn't like the most is probably this second brother.

The last time he entered the town, he was cleaned up by Shu for a few days, and his face was blue and purple every day, and his nose was not a nose, and his face was not a face.

Before Jin Yun could reach out to take it, he was forced into Jin Qiwu's hand, and he said: "This time the mouth is tighter for the second brother, I still have a use for the money I earn now, and I will definitely give it to my father and mother in the future." ”

Jin Yun lowered her eyebrows, and didn't say yes or no, the sugar gourd in her hand was red, wrapped in a layer of sucrose, it was very good-looking, and it had a very good aroma.

She stuck out her tongue slightly and licked it.

Refreshing.

It turned out that this was the sweetness, and she almost forgot about it after a long time.

Seeing that the little sister was restrained eating a sweet, Jin Qiwu couldn't help but feel funny, shook his arm and wrapped his shin bones, looking at Yongxin who was still behind the team, he was afraid that it would take a lot of time, he asked, "What are you doing in town?" I didn't get tired and panicked when I ran here. ”

Jin Yun still had half a hawthorn wrapped in her mouth, sweet and sour, which made her can't help but feel excited. Listening to the inquiry of the person sitting on the steps again, she did not hide it and said, "Let's sell silver hairpins." ”

Jin Qiwu laughed at first, and then with mockery after thinking of something, he said: "How can we have any silver hairpins." ”

"The silver-plated hairpin, Dad and Yongxin made it out in the past two days." The mouth can still taste the sweet and silky taste, and Jin Yun is a little reluctant to speak, which will make the taste dissipate.

"Silver-plated? That's not worth much, what to do with all this effort. "It's not that Jin Qiwu doesn't look down on his father and eldest nephew, it's just that to tell the truth, there really isn't much sales of silver-plated jewelry.

"A shop paid thirty taels to buy our formula." Jin Yun added.

Jin Qiwu didn't have the joy of being shocked, but he was stunned for a while and laughed: "Thirty taels, which stupid person is it, why don't you sell it quickly and make a profit." ”

His indifference let Jin Yun know that Jin Qiwu thought what she said was just a joke, or just a child's words.

She didn't explain much, still standing next to her to solve the sugar gourd in her hand.

But in the blink of an eye, there was only one of the three hawthorns left, and Jin Yun was not willing to bite and chew it, but slowly licked off the sucrose wrapped on it.

But in the end, the small hawthorn still entered the stomach, and only a bamboo stick remained.

At this time, Yongxin ran back with two pennies, the weight of the goods was nothing to him who was young and strong, but the scorching sun was scorching, and there was still a thin sweat on his body.

Yongxin handed over the two pennies that had not yet been warmed, and said: "Second uncle, we are here to ask you to help, I brought seven hairpins, you can see if you can sell them to passing shippers." ”

"Hey, it's hard to do it, just pack it for thirty taels and sell it to others." Jin Qiwu tore open the water bag on his waist and took a sip, his lips were so dry that he felt as if the corners of his mouth were cracking when he even exhaled.

"My sister-in-law told you? The two of us are also going to come here to have a look, but if it doesn't work, we will go home and discuss it with my grandfather. Yongxin 1510 said that he was not sure whether it was a rod or a trickle, so he could only leave the problem to his grandfather.

"Poof." But Jin Qiwu squirted a mouthful of water directly forward.
