On the weekend of the second day, the military training was suspended for two days, and Shui Ling and Jia Duobao made an appointment to see Gao Yuan on Saturday afternoon, because Gao Yuan happened to be transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward that day, and Jia Duobao would go directly to the repair shop to pick her up and take her to the hospital.

So early Saturday morning, Shui Ling carried a brown-red leather backpack and wore a white shirt and khaki pants, first withdrawing tens of thousands of yuan from the ATM outside the school, and then taking a taxi to his studio.

In the early morning of mid-September, the sun was still shining, and the golden light passed through the large locust tree next to the church, and was cut into fine spots of light by the branches and vines, and sprinkled on the steps of the church.

Shui Ling asked the taxi to stop at the entrance of the church, sat in the window and looked out, there was a woman wearing a yellow T-shirt and blue jeans on the steps, with a ponytail, a thin figure, holding a broom, bending down to sweep the steps. Shui Ling paid the money and got out of the car, stood beside the woman, looked carefully, and asked suspiciously:

"Sister Lan, are you cleaning?"

Then he glanced left and right, and saw that inside the arch, Zhang Qiang was wiping the table and chair with a rag, Shui Ling turned his gaze back to Li Lan, and before Li Lan opened his mouth, he asked again:

"Where's the housekeeper I hired?"

"Oh, that, Miss Shui, it's such a waste of money, I let them not use it, you see it's just some cleaning, we can do it too, we can't help with anything else, so we can only do physical work."

Li Lan, who had a sallow complexion, had a smile on her face, because she was very thin, she felt that there was no flesh on her face, only the skin of her face was wrinkled together, and she coughed a few times. put down the broom, hurriedly beckoned Shui Ling to go inside, and asked Zhang Qiang to bring a chair. I washed a cup and poured tea for Shui Ling.

And the water spirit. Sitting on a small bench speechlessly, looking at the cup handed over by Li Lan, the cup is porcelain, there is a gap on the mouth of the cup, there is a crack along the gap downward, the crack is very long along the bottom of the cup, this is not the key, the key is that the teacup is still very old. The black and yellow inside is stained with aged tea stains, and it seems that it can't be washed off.

The water in this cup, Shui Ling will never drink it, it's not that she can't drink it, but she doesn't want to drink it, she has the money to buy a disposable water cup for her studio, why should she want to drink a cup that someone else has drunk?! So Shui Ling took the cup and rubbed it in his hand, raised his eyes and saw Wang Zi walking briskly from the second floor, raised the cup in his hand, and asked:

"You didn't buy disposable cups? I don't give you enough money? ”

"Hmm. This..."

Wang Zi looked embarrassed, holding a blue ledger in his arms, wanting to say something. looked at Li Lan again, didn't say anything after all, turned around and rummaged through a pile of miscellaneous items on the side a few times, turned out a clean cup that had not been removed from the transparent plastic packaging outside, poured a new glass of water for Shui Ling, bent down and handed the account book in his arms to Shui Ling, and said:

"Senior sister, this is our cost along the way, you can take a look."

At the beginning, Shui Ling asked Wang Zi and the three of them to come by plane. Wang Zi was given 20,000 yuan for the journey, and the three of them took a child by plane. But flipping through the account book given by Wang Zi, from the time he was on the road to today. Wang Zi and the others only spent 1,893 yuan.

Closing the account book, Shui Ling shook her head silently, looked at Li Lan, who was coughing non-stop, put down the new cup that Wang Zi obviously bought for herself, and glanced at the old cup that was set aside on the side, got up and beckoned Wang Zi to go to the second floor, the second floor has better light than the first floor, but now it looks like a slum.

In the middle of the second floor is a hall, divided into two very spacious bedrooms on the left and right, the bedroom on the left is very clean and tidy, although the bed quilt used is old, but the color and neatness are not too shabby. The bedroom on the right is a little miserable, the quilt and the clothes to dry are all patched, and at a glance, you can see that the bedroom on the left is slept by Wang Zi, and the bedroom on the right is slept by Mr. and Mrs. Li Lan and their son.

There was a small coal stove in the hall, and there was a pot stewed on the coal stove, and I didn't know what was boiling in the pot, and from a distance I could see a large mass of bubbling, and on the side of the coal stove was a table with four small benches beside the table.

"Miss Shui, have you had breakfast? We just ate, why don't you make do with it? ”

Li Lan followed Wang Zi up to the second floor in a restrained manner, walked to the edge of the small coal stove, took out a bowl, bent down and washed it in the bucket where she glanced at a few vegetable leaves, and then she was about to give Shui Ling the contents of the pot, she quickly shook her head, walked to the window, pushed the window open, and let the air in the hall circulate a little, seeing that Li Lan was going to persuade her to eat the things in the pot, Shui Ling couldn't help it, turned her head to look at Zhang Qiang, who came up with her, and explained:

"If you want to burn coal indoors, you have to open the window, so that it is easier to discharge carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitric oxide and other gases."

You must know that the quality of life can also determine a person's physical quality, the poorer the sicker, the sicker the poorer, eat this kind of cauldron every day, can't finish eating it and keep it for the next meal, and finally can't even see what the material is, can the body be good?

Shui Ling thinks that she is not a stingy boss, not so harsh that the employees don't even have some decent food, these people are so saving, and her reputation is not good, the reputation is small, the key is that these people suffer and suffer by themselves, so why bother?

"We don't understand carbon oxide or carbon dioxide." didn't hear the subtext that Shui Ling wanted them to improve their quality of life, Li Lan put down the bowl in his hand, rubbed his hands with a smile, and said, "It's good to save a little, I'm not in good health, and I have a child who is going to study, so I should save a little." ”

Speaking of which, although Zhang Qiang and Li Lan and his wife followed Shui Ling, both of them have jobs, but in terms of computers, for Zhang Qiang and Li Lan, who have no culture, they don't know anything at all.

People's cultural level is low, and their brains are wooden, probably because this is not good, and they don't know how to do this job well, so they can only use their own way to shine.

But Shui Ling really doesn't lack housekeeping, there is no shortage of a disposable water cup, there is no shortage of a decent breakfast, seeing Li Lan like this, Shui Ling really wants her not to do anything, just stay and recuperate, her salary will definitely be paid. Because what Li Lan is doing now is useless, it didn't help Shui Ling for half a point, but it was a bit of a tendency to drag his feet. (To be continued)
