After asking the boss that his shoes could not be retreated, Lin Hui pulled the pillow stream and left.

Pillow Xi asked her with a smile: "Mom, my brother will like these shoes, he won't be angry with me again in the future." ”

Lin Hui looked down at her, clearly there was no smile on her face, but she still touched her head and said kind words:

"You kid, don't make any more assertions. ”

This day happened to be the day of the market in the town, and when Lin Hui led Pillow Creek through the crowded crowd, Pillow Creek shook off her hand and disappeared into the crowd very quickly.

She had to look around to see if there were any opportunities to make money.

She had lived in this town for four years, and during the days that the family had been shut out, her activities were on this acre and a third of the land. She knew better than anyone which tiles had moss on them and where weeds had grown.

Walking through the alleys, walking through the streets, and even passing by the leather factory where she had worked for two years in her previous life, she did not go in to take a look, and the mean face of the boss had always been one of the most disgusting images in her memory.

After going around and around, she still returned to the place where she broke up with Lin Hui, the market had dispersed, and there was nothing left on the street except garbage.

She was just about to walk home when she heard someone call her, and when she turned around, it was the owner of a boutique.

The other party waved at her and called her a little girl.

Pillow Creek walked towards the other party and asked, "What did you call me for?"

"I saw you walking around here for a long time, did you get lost?"

Before Pillow Creek could speak, she said to herself, "I still don't want to go back." ”

Pillow Creek quickly raised her head and looked at her suspiciously, she also looked down at Pillow Creek, and said:

"You were beaten in front of my store that day, and I saw it. Just now you and your mom went to buy shoes, and I was eating next door. ”

Pillow Creek glanced at her, turned around and left. The man hurriedly took her hand and said:

"Auntie has no malicious intentions, she just looks at you pitifully. ”

Pillow Creek tried hard to shake off her hand, but she didn't. The man looked up at the sky, looked down again, and tears came out.

She stroked Pillow Creek's hair and said, "If my daughter hadn't died, she would be as old as you by now." ”

Because of her words, Pillow Creek's struggle was gone, and she let the man pull her into the store, poured her a glass of water, and gave her a chicken cake.

Pillow Creek had been hungry all day, staring at the chicken cake in front of him, his throat rolling all the time.

The woman laughed out loud and said, "Eat, I have no reason to hurt you." ”

Pillow Creek didn't move, and the other party continued: "It's full of calculations, I've known Lin Hui for 10 years." Your own mother used to be in the same class as me, and I went to mourn when I passed away. Lin Hui is a person, others don't know that I know very well, vain and mean, your mother and you have always been a thorn in her heart, she will definitely not be good to you on weekdays. Otherwise, if you disappear, she wouldn't have walked around the neighborhood and returned home, I guess I wish you were abducted by human traffickers like this. ”

Speaking of this, the woman suddenly stopped talking, reached out to wipe her tears, and handed the chicken cake to Pillow Creek, saying:

"They're not going to wait for you to eat, and if you don't eat now, you'll be hungry until tomorrow. ”

Pillow Xi also knew in her heart that when she went back now, the food would definitely be gone, and with Lin Hui's virtue, she would definitely hide everything she could eat, and maybe even instruct her to wash the dishes.

With the water, Pillow Creek swallowed the chicken cake in small bites.

"Do you want more?" the woman asked her.

Pillow Creek shook her head.

The woman touched her head and said, "You are really pitiful, your own mother died early, your own father is a soft ear, and your stepmother is a vicious one." You were in the country before, why did you come here?"

"Read. ”

"Lin Hui will let you read?" the woman was a little surprised.

"No. ”

The woman reached out again and stroked her head, repeating the word pity in her mouth, and then said:

"Do you want me to contact your grandmother and ask her to take you back?"

Pillow Creek stood up all of a sudden, looked directly at her, and said word by word:

"I want to read!"

The woman sighed, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "In the future, if there is anything difficult, come to me, I can't help with big things, if I am hungry or can't go home, I will always be a small place here, and there is something to eat." ”

Pillow Creek nodded, grateful in his heart. She could feel that this somewhat neurotic woman had no ill will towards her. After all, as this woman said, she couldn't be more miserable in the stream, and she couldn't find anything to worry about the other party with a lantern, maybe it would be easier to live in the mountains by human traffickers than now.

Before going out, Pillow Creek casually glanced at the store.

The store has been open for many years, and I remember that when she finally left, it was much bigger than it is now. This shop is located in the middle of No. 7 Middle School, and business has been booming because of the endless stream of students.

Pillow Creek saw an unfinished clay sculpture on a * table, and some ribbon clips of viscose, and asked casually:

"Are you selling handmade products?"

The woman followed her gaze and said, "That's right. Today's students are trendy, they like unique things, and the cost of handmade is low, and the price of selling is more expensive than that of wholesale. ”

Pillow Creek's mind flashed out a lot of memories of his previous life, after becoming a member of the Rainbow Girls, the company held a member election every two years, and everyone tried their best to do everything they could in order to canvass for votes. Pillow Creek is not enlightened on this, and he can't come up with any unique ideas, and he really doesn't have much money to hold eye-catching lotteries, so he has to make some small handicrafts to send fans.

Delicate small hairpins, keychains hooked with wool, and seals engraved with cute patterns are all worthless things, but they have a reputation for being attentive to fans.

Pillow also ridiculed her because of this, saying that she was a sycophant who flattered and slapped the horse, and she usually looked stupid and stupid, and she dared to use her whole body and mind to please fans.

Seeing those familiar things at this time, Pillow Creek had an idea in his mind.

"Are you recruiting?" Pillow Creek asked.

"What do you mean? You want to come to work? I can only look at this small shop by myself. ”

Pillow Creek pointed to the materials and said, "I'll help you make those things, and you pay me for the labor." ”

The woman looked at her in surprise and asked, "Will you?"

Pillow Creek walked straight to the workbench and sat down, and casually picked up a hairpin and a ribbon.

The woman just watched, watching her hands skillfully pull the ribbon and tie the knot, and in a few minutes, a chic bow hairpin took shape.

The woman held the hairpin in her hand, compared what she made and the wholesale process, and couldn't help but admire: "Your craftsmanship is really good, there is no roughness of manual work at all, and it is more exquisite than the factory assembly line." ”

Pillow Xi smiled embarrassedly, thinking that this is not the case, in his previous life, he didn't announce that he would study this all day long in the days when he picked his feet in the dormitory.

"This card can be sold for at least five yuan, and how about I give you a dollar for manual fees?"

Pillow Creek nodded, and the woman immediately gave her two yuan.

"Advance your money for one more. How many of these things can you make? Can you have twenty or thirty a day?"

"Yes. ”

Once you are familiar with this kind of thing, it is really not a problem, the key is the technique and the composition in your head. So Pillow Creek is not afraid of others to learn, she has thousands of design drawings of this kind of hairpin keychain and other gadgets in her head, all of which are from the fashion ten years later, and now people can't imitate them if they know the technical essentials.

With these two dollars, Pillow Creek bought a steamed cake at a roadside stall and went home.

It was Lin Zheng who opened the door, and when he saw her face, he immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly, saying:

"Do you still know how to go home?" and then bent down and whispered to her, "Why didn't you let the traffickers kidnap you, you dead girl?" ”

Pillow Xi nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Pillow is beautiful, you have to watch it closely." ”

Lin Zheng's hand was immediately raised, and he was about to slam it into her face. Pillow Creek didn't dodge or dodge, just looked at him fixedly.

Lin Zheng only felt that the eyes of the little girl in front of him were really terrifying, and she couldn't slap this slap.

At this moment, he came out of the house in a rage, pointed at her and scolded:

"Where did you die? Your mother ran away without looking, do you know how long your mother has been looking for you? ”

Pillow Creek only felt numb in his hands and feet, his heart sank and sank, and there was invisible darkness in front of him.

She sobbed and cried, "Dad, I'm sorry...... There were so many people in the market that I was separated from my mom when I was crowded...... I don't know where I got home, I don't know where I went if I followed the main road, and I didn't know where I was if I hadn't been seen by someone I knew. ”

Pillow Xi cried and took out the steamed cake he bought on the road from his bag, held it in front of the pillow, and said, "Dad, don't be angry, I bought you your favorite steamed cake on the way." ”

"Where did you get the money?"

As soon as Zhuxi looked up, he saw Lin Hui leaning on the door frame and looking at her, her eyes were terrifyingly black, as if she was going to suck her inside.

"I picked up a dollar on the way. Pillow Xi opened his trouser bag, handed the remaining two cents to Pillow Quan, and said, "Eight cents for steamed cakes." ”

Zhenquan looked at the large and small holes in her trouser bag, the trouser legs that were obviously shortened, and the tops full of hairballs, and asked Lin Hui:

"Didn't you say you would take her shopping for clothes today? Why are you still dressed like this?"

"Isn't the child lost?" replied Lin Hui.

"I asked my mom to buy sneakers for my brother with the money she used to buy me new clothes. ”

Ignoring Lin Hui's eye knife thrown at her, Pillow Xi turned to stare at Lin Zheng's feet, and asked:

"Brother, do you still like these new shoes? I told my mother that shoes that cost more than 200 yuan can't be uncomfortable. ”
