After eating, Coriander went to the pharmacy to grab some medicine for a cold......

Well, she sneaked into the pharmacy and stole some apricot san for colds.

Xingsusan is composed of almond, platycodon, skull, fritillary, perilla, citrus aurantium, licorice, tangerine peel, front hu, mulberry white bark, maimendong and ginger; It specializes in the treatment of external wind cold, chills and fever, headache without sweating, nasal congestion and discharge, cough and phlegm, divergent wind and cold, and phlegm in the lungs.

During the period of the Republic of China, many drugs in Western medicine were strictly controlled by the military, and even once listed as contraband.

The security awareness of the staff of Shihe Hospital does not seem to be very thorough, and when Coriander sneaks into the pharmacy, the little nurse is napping there, and she has not been noticed from beginning to end......

She packed the medicine with a scarf and took it out of the hospital in a grand manner, not knowing how glad she was that the monitoring equipment was not very developed in this era.

She thought that she would meet Ake unexpectedly as soon as she got out of the hospital, just like that day, but she ran to the streets of Longcheng and watched all directions, but she didn't see Ake's figure, and she didn't hear his shouting of selling newspapers.

After looking for the little girl who often sells flowers in this area, Coriander learned that Ake had not appeared near Longcheng Street in the past two days.

Coriander thought to herself, could it be that after returning from Old Town Street, the child was also sick?

So she took the medicine to Yihong Garden, knocked on Ake's door, and it was Ake's sister Ayun who entertained her, but she didn't see Ake's shadow.

Seeing coriander again, Ah Yun looked very cramped. She was her brother's life-saver, but she couldn't repay her with anything, even when people came to the house for the first time, she didn't even invite people to drink a sip of water.

"I was really sorry that day, I didn't leave you at home for a meal, so I let you leave in a hurry. Originally, I wanted to come to the door to thank you, but I don't know who your surname is and where you live......"

Ah Yun's voice is still so hoarse, but her face is much better-looking.

She followed Coriander's advice, drank water wildly in the past two days, and her condition really showed signs of improvement, plus Coriander had a life-saving grace for her brother, and she was even more grateful to Coriander in her heart.

Coriander's purpose in coming here was not to repay their sister and brother, she just wanted to find Ake and ask him seriously if the place he took her to that day was Meijia Lane, the old city street.

Although she didn't think that the kid was deliberately trying to trick her into that place, she couldn't help but wonder about it from time to time.

Coriander looked up suddenly, interrupting Ah Yun's gratitude to her, "What about Ark?" ”

"I went out early in the morning to sell newspapers."

Cilantro glanced at the wood-paneled wall near the door, where there was a rusty iron nail, and on the nail hung a cloth bag that Ark usually used to hold newspapers.

Ake went out to sell newspapers, didn't he even bring his bag?

This kid can't be doing something, right......

Coriander shook her arm and poured the apricot wrapped in a scarf on the tidy bed, and more than two dozen bags of medicine bags covered half of the bed.

Suddenly, a faint medicinal fragrance filled the surroundings.

Coriander said to Ah Yun, who looked puzzled: "This is a medicine for wind and cold, three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, one pack at a time, and take it with hot water."

Ah Yun was flattered, and at the same time her heart was full of gratitude for coriander, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Coriander thinks that she is not a good person, and she has never thought of being a living Lei Feng, and besides, how do people know who Lei Feng is at this time. She did this on a whim, perhaps out of sympathy for Ah Yun and Ake's siblings......

Coriander didn't stay in Yihong Garden for long.

When she left, Ah Yun looked at the empty doorway and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Inadvertently, Ah Yun noticed the bag hanging on the iron nails on the wall, and her heart chuckled, and a sense of foreboding came well, and this feeling became stronger and stronger-

Ake goes out to sell newspapers without a bag, he is not such a careless child!

………… Gorgeous dividing line............

Longcheng Newspaper, located in the quiet corner of a small commercial street on the east road of Longcheng Street, occupies a large area, the courtyard is spacious, the marble-colored plaque hanging on the refined iron door is engraved with the four ancient characters of "Longcheng Newspaper", the brushstrokes are rigid and soft, auspicious and harmonious, and it looks quite pleasing to the eye. There is a red chapter on the left side of the door plaque, and there are two complicated ancient characters in the chapter, and the horizontal and vertical skimming is like the word "Luo Jun".

A short, middle-aged man dressed in Sven rudely drove a seven or eight-year-old boy out of the newspaper office, who was dressed in ill-fitting clothes and didn't even have a pair of socks on his feet.

"Deputy editor-in-chief, I will sell newspapers well in the future, sell more newspapers, please don't drive me away!"

"Go, go!" This short middle-aged man is the deputy editor-in-chief of Longcheng Newspaper, and at this moment he is grumpy, and he pushes and kicks Ake out of the door of Longcheng Newspaper.

Ake was anxious and helpless, he couldn't afford to lose his job!

It was not easy for a child to come out and find a job to do, but I think that Ake had squeezed his head to fight for a place in the Longcheng Newspaper. The editor-in-chief of the Longcheng newspaper has a lot of money, and the salary for child laborers is the highest, and there is no second good owner like this in the entire Shanghai market.

The Longcheng newspaper has good welfare, but at the same time it is very demanding, and they have given a hard rule to the child laborers at the bottom, requiring them to sell 200 copies of the newspaper every day no matter what. If this is not possible, then "ask" them to find another job.

A newspaper is worth a copper dollar, and 200 copies are 200 copper dollars, and before sunset, child laborers have to come to the newspaper office and hand in 190 copper dollars, and the rest in their hands is their own daily wage, no matter how much money is in their hands.

The people of the Longcheng newspaper were not afraid of child laborers cheating with them, and they collected a silver dollar from each child as collateral long before they were recruited. If a child has been doing a good job during his employment, then when he leaves, the Dragon City newspaper will return the silver dollars to him. But if any child does not do well, and the daily newspaper sold is not enough for the required number of copies, the people at the Dragon City newspaper will deduct his unfulfilled daily quota from the silver dollar. When the child's silver dollar is deducted, it means that the child will not stay in the Longcheng newspaper office for a long time, if he still wants to continue to work here, then hand over another silver dollar!

In order to scrape together a silver dollar, Ake pawned all his valuable things, including his clothes and shoes!

Now that the silver dollar he mortgaged in the Longcheng newspaper office has been deducted, if he wants to continue to sell the newspaper here, he has to hand over another silver dollar as collateral, but he has nothing worth pawning, where is he going to make up this money?
