The old man stared at her for a long time, and then smiled: "Grandpa Sun? Oh, okay, get up, show me! ”

Ling'er quickly stood up, pretending to be at a loss and standing shyly, the old man swept her from beginning to end a few times, and said, "Stretch out your hand!" ”

Ling'er did as she said and stretched out her slap in front of the old man. Speaking of which, she didn't even pay attention to herself, when did such a layer of yellow and thick cocoons grind out on that little slap? It seems that she has really done a lot of work in the past few months, and she can't even think about it before she puts it! Tsk, I'm pretty good!

Obviously, the old man was also a little surprised to see Ling'er's hand, he nodded slightly and said, "Boy, what's your name?" What do you do at home? Why become a helper? ”

Ling'er replied honestly: "Grandpa, my name is Xiaoshi, I live at the foot of the vast mountain, and my family is an Orion!" A few days ago, my father went into the mountains to hunt and met a black blind man, climbed a tree and hid for three days and three nights, and finally picked up his life, but he was seriously ill.

Now that he can't hunt, my mother asked me to bring a few hares that I had hunted back to the market to sell, so that I could exchange them for some medicinal herbs and rice grains. But as soon as I came to the market, I met Pingye and them, saying that they wanted my rabbit and didn't give money......"

"Ahem~~~" Pingzi outside the door deliberately coughed loudly, Ling'er glanced back, pretended to shrink timidly, and didn't dare to speak. The old man was unhappy, and glared at Pingzi fiercely and said, "Dead boy, didn't you see the old man and I'm asking?" What do you plug in? Get out of here! ”

"Hehe, Sun... Grandpa... Master, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, we do legitimate business and never take other people's things, really, we see this kid as pitiful......"

"Who's your grandfather? ! The old man picked up the teacup without warning and smashed it, Pingzi narrowly avoided it, there was a crisp sound, the teacup smashed on the stone pillar outside the door and shattered, Pingzi was startled, "Sun... Grandpa, you... You..."

"Uncle Sun, get out of here!" The old man stood up and rushed to the door in a few steps, so frightened that Pingzi hurriedly ran out. Ling'er looked at Pingzi, who was arrogant outside, but now he was being cleaned up by an old man, and he was very happy, and his favorability towards this old man suddenly increased a lot!

The old man drove Pingzi out of the courtyard door, and pointed to the door and cursed, Pingzi naturally didn't dare to come in, so he could only cower and lie at the door to peek. The old man came back and sat down, waved his hand to Ling'er, and said, "Boy, go on, did they rob you of something?" Arresting you to be a helper again? ”

Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "They... They want my rabbits, but they didn't force me to be a helper, I wanted to! ”

"Oh? You don't know what kind of place this Gan's Restaurant is? Why do you want to help? ”

Ling'er said with a sad face: "My father is sick now, he can't go into the mountains, he still needs money to buy medicine, and I don't know how to hunt myself, so I want to come to the town to find an errand and earn money for my father's medical treatment and buy new clothes for my mother!" ”

The old man nodded slightly: "Well, yes, he is a good boy with filial piety!" But this Yan family is the most unkind, what if you come here to help, what if they don't pay you? ”

Ling'er looked depressed when she heard this, and looked at the old man pitifully, the old man was a little uncomfortable, and said with a straight face: "What do you want me to do?" I don't have any money, don't expect me to pay you! Ling'er stuck out her tongue in her heart, this old man obviously has a salary of fifty taels a month, and he is still so stingy!

"Grandpa Sun, Yu Sanye said that he would definitely pay me wages, if you are willing to accept me as an apprentice and learn your skills, you will have endless money in the future! Grandpa Sun, please take me as an apprentice! ”

"Apprentices? I didn't say I wanted to accept apprentices, I just wanted an errand boy! ”

Ling'er's face suddenly showed disappointment, and he looked at the old man with tears in his eyes, the old man turned sideways, peeked at Ling'er a few times, and after a while, he seemed to be very impatient and helpless and waved his hand: "Forget it, so be it, I promise to leave you down and give me a hand!" But let's say it first, I don't accept apprentices, and I don't pay salaries, don't rely on me if the Yan family doesn't pay you! ”

Ling'er was overjoyed, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him, and the old man said: "Forget it, I see that you call me grandpa, if it is someone else, hum, I don't bother to pay attention!" Boy, get up and tell me what you're going to do. ”

"I can chop wood, carry water, watch the fire, pick vegetables, wash vegetables, ......" Ling'er said a long list, the old man looked at her suspiciously, frowned, and said: "How can you even do the work of a girl's house?" How many children do you have? Have siblings, right? ”

"No, my father and mother are the only ones, so I do all the work of boys and girls! Grandpa Sun, I have a lot of strength, I do all the strength work at home, and you will have the strength to work in the future! ”

"Hehe, the tone is not small, is the cauldron of more than ten catties held steadily in one hand?"

"Of course, don't say a dozen pounds, even if... It's no problem to have a few dozen pounds! If you don't believe me, I'll show you! Ling'er looked around, wanting to find something to show her performance, and the old man said: "Forget it, there will be opportunities in the future!" That's it, you go and call me that shrunken oil thief outside! ”

Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, she ran out happily, and saw Pingzi sneaking out and looking in, and when she saw Ling'er, she stood up in an uproar: "Boy, didn't it work?" Why didn't you come out sooner? Waiting for a sore back! Come on, give me a beating! ”

Ling'er smiled and said, "Master Ping, Grandpa Sun promised to accept me and told you to go in!" ”

"Huh? What the? You repeat! ”

"I said: Grandpa Sun promised to accept me and told you to go in!" Ling'er repeated loudly word by word, Pingzi looked Ling'er up and down incredibly, frowned, and said: "No, those boys in front of you are all stronger and smarter than you, how can the old man take a fancy to you?" ”

"Really, Master Ping, if you don't believe it, go ask Grandpa Sun!"

Pingzi entered the courtyard suspiciously, and was glared at by Old Man Sun, and immediately wilted, accompanied by a smiling face to say good things, Old Man Sun coughed twice, and said lightly: "This kid is good, my old man accepted it!" Go back and tell Yu San to tell him to do less things like chickens and dogs, and beware of retribution in the future! ”

Pingzi was happy at first, and then blushed with embarrassment after a while, and it seemed that he had been hit hard by the way he stumbled out of the door! Ling'er was very happy in her heart, this old man Sun is so loving, he has decided, he will be mixed with him in the past ten days!

drove away Pingzi, Old Man Sun stood up and said, "Boy, follow me!" ”

Ling'er obediently responded and followed him honestly. Old Man Sun took her into the back kitchen yard, and saw that the huge yard was full of cages, not to mention groups of chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, and there were many strange animals that could not be named, and even... Even snakes! Ling'er shuddered, it turned out that eating everything had started as early as the ancients! It makes sense to say that humans are the natural enemies of all animals!

Ling'er's expression was in the eyes of Old Man Sun, he stopped and looked at the cage and said lightly: "What are you afraid of?" Your family is not Orion? What haven't you seen? ”

Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth: "Grandpa Sun, I... When I was a kid, I was ... Don't bite a poisonous snake, I'm most afraid of this thing! ”

"Humph! Useless stuff! In! The old man walked all the way with his hands behind his back, and all the guys who met him stopped to give way and said hello, they seemed to be quite afraid of this old man, and they were quite curious to see Ling'er following him.

They walked to a house with tall eaves on the far right and stopped, Old Man Sun took out the key and unlocked it, pushed it open, and Ling'er was stunned. Oh, my God! This house is too big, no smaller than the main hall of a large family!

Can... But this is obviously not a hall, look at the rows of shelves on the right side of the room are full of all kinds of fresh ingredients, on the left huge stove there are a lot of large pots and small pots, and there are all kinds of fine porcelain in the cupboard next to it...... Tsk, even the kitchen of a modern five-star hotel may not be so well-equipped!

Seeing Ling'er's surprised expression, Old Man Sun was quite satisfied, he strode in proudly, sat down at the table directly above, and said lightly: "Boy, come here, pour me tea!" ”

Ling'er was still in surprise, she passed in a daze, picked up the teapot with one hand and poured it, 'snap', Ling'er's hand was slapped painfully, the teapot fell on the table, she quickly grabbed it with her left hand, although it was burned, she finally kept the teapot!

Ling'er looked at the old man Sun in puzzlement, and said pitifully: "Grandpa Sun! ”

"Hmph, it's useless to scream nicely, are you pouring tea?"

Ling'er looked aggrieved: "I... That's how I ...... at home."

"This isn't your home!"

Ling'er bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "Yes, Xiaoshi knows, Xiaoshi admits punishment!" ”

Old man Sun's eyes were slightly satisfied, he coughed twice and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what will happen if you make such a mistake when you pay a birthday to the old woman of the Yan family?" ”

Ling'er thought about it for a while, and immediately understood, it turned out that Old Man Sun was going to set rules for himself! She honestly lowered her head and listened, Old Man Sun walked around muttering one by one, Ling'er listened carefully and silently wrote it down!

At the end, Old Man Sun paused, "Recite what I just said!" ”

"Huh?"

"Back!"

“…… Oh! Daybreak... Wake up in the morning and ...... in the dark"

"Okay, okay, I'll give you three days, you must memorize it all within three days, if you can't memorize it, you will be out in the kitchen to wash dishes and do chores in the past ten days!"

"Huh? Grandpa Sun, didn't you say that I would be by your side? ”

"Hey, boy, you think washing dishes is a trivial task? The old man is short of people to wash the dishes now, so you can go to the big kitchen outside and wash all the ordinary dishes! ”

Ling'er frowned and thought for a while: "Now? Didn't you want me to recite your rules in three days? ”

"Of course now, I still need to teach me to use my mouth to follow the rules and wash the dishes with my hands? Go on, go on, don't get in the way of me thinking about the dishes! Ling'er was sent out by Old Man Sun's three or five sentences, and she was stunned at the door for a long time, a little at a loss!

Originally, I thought that I had found a good backer and could get close to Mrs. Yan's food, but now it's okay, wash the dishes! Let me wash the dishes! You must know that there is no such thing as dish soap in this era, greasy dishes and dishes are not stable to hold, and it is definitely a thankless job to ruin one's own day's wages!

But Old Man Sun has already spoken, what should I do? Only washed! Ling'er sighed and walked weakly to the big kitchen. (To be continued.)
