Aunt Liu was washing clothes in the yard, and when she saw the two sisters and brothers coming back "shoulder to shoulder", she was startled, quickly stood up, and stepped forward to help support Yu Shu, who was obviously not good-looking.

"What's the matter, coming back from school so early, and still tired like this? Look at the sweat on your body, your clothes are wet, hurry into the house and change them, don't catch a cold again, I'll go to the kitchen to get you some hot noodle soup to drink. ”

Aunt Liu helped send people into the house, and hurriedly went out, Yu Shu lay on the bed listlessly, Yu Xiaoxiu found two clothes from the closet, and threw one to Yu Shu, and then got into his own bed, pulled up the bed net, stumbled to change out of the sweaty clothes, climbed out to put on shoes, and saw that Yu Shu was still lying on the bed without moving, so he walked over and kicked her calves exposed outside the bed, and said unhappily:

"Change your clothes first, and I'll wash them, otherwise it will be difficult to dry at night."

Yu Shu turned over, facing up, looking at Yu Xiaoxiu's little yellow face that was red, she was really a little distressed, and when she pretended to faint today, Yu Xiaoxiu's panic was clear to her.

Although in a sense, this child is not her own brother, but she, the sister, is indeed his only sustenance.

She didn't dare to imagine that if she hadn't come to this world, "Yu Shu" would have really died in the ancestral hall that night, leaving Yu Xiaoxiu alone, without his father's pain and mother's love, how would he live?

The picture of Yu Lei secretly crying in a wheelchair after being paralyzed resurfaced in her mind, looking at Yu Xiaoxiu, the original arrogance of going forward for her younger brother and standing up to the sky and the earth returned to Yu Shu.

"Good!"

Yu Shu stiffened, sat up from the bed, and waved his hand at Yu Xiaoxiu with a smile.

"I'm going to go out, I'm going to change my clothes."

Yu Xiaoxiu glanced at Yu Shu, who was suddenly in a state of flux, and went out in confusion.

"After eating, I will sleep well, and in the afternoon I will go to the street to look for it and see what work I can do," Yu Shu said to himself, undressing his clothes, "Even if you go to carry sandbags for people, you have to buy a paper and ink first, and ask Xiao Xiu to write his homework first." ”

It is also strange to say that these two sisters and brothers, there is no paper and ink at home, one is stubbornly willing to be punished, and the other is racking all his thoughts to get money to buy paper, but he has never thought of reaching out to the Ji family.

***

"I'm out to play, and I'll come back at dinner in the evening."

Yu Shu waved his hand goodbye, and Yu Xiaoxiu, who was lying on the bed reading a book, didn't glance at her, and didn't notice that Yu Shu was tucking a ball of his old clothes under his other arm.

In the afternoon, it was the quietest time in the area of the Ji family's lower room, the masters were all taking a lunch break, and the subordinates also took advantage of their free time to rest, and there were almost no people outside.

Yu Shu went out, hid in the place where the clothes were drying in the back room, shook off the blue cloth gown that stole Yu Xiaoxiu, quickly took off the short shirt and skirt on his body, and changed the men's clothes.

Yu Shu is a head taller than Yu Xiaoxiu, and wearing his clothes is of course the same as shrinking, but fortunately, the clothes of the ancients are made wide, and she can put this gown on her body.

As for the shoes, they usually wear cloth shoes, gray and gray, and they can't distinguish between men and women, so they don't need to change them.

Yu Shu tied the belt, coiled his hair again, wrapped a small cloth around the bun, and used a comb to neatly trim the sideburns.

After taking care of everything, she put her changed dress into a ball and stuffed it into a hole in the tree next to her, waiting to come back in the evening to change it.

Humming a small tune in his mouth, Yu Shu walked back and forth with his legs in two steps, looked at the figure reflected on the sheets on the hanger, and went to the back door with satisfaction.

When she came out of the kitchen again, she was already a shabby young man, and it was difficult to guess her girlish appearance if she didn't get closer to look at the fine skin and tender meat.

***

The street of Changmenpu seems to be very lively every day, with endless crowds, dazzling goods and goods, and tempting cries, so that Yu Shu, who has never seen the world, almost can't move his legs.

Changmen Pu Street does not refer to a single street, it has a total of three in the north and south, and there are also many teahouses and wine shops in the alleys that run through the east and west.

Yu Shu relied on her sensitivity to numbers and time, and probably converted, this hour, that is, about two hours, first start looking for the street in the south, walk half a street, and still can't find a job, and then change to the next one, so that the probability of success will fluctuate, if she is lucky, she can find a job before sunset.

"Shopkeeper, are you recruiting people here to settle accounts?"

Yu Shu spotted a silk and satin shop with a good business, straightened her collar, and boldly walked in to apply.

"Go, go, where did you come from, go to the side, don't stand in my way to do business."

Before he succeeded, Yu Shu didn't even introduce himself, so he was thrown out, attracting a few customers in the store, Yu Shu touched his nose and turned around to go to the next one.

She pretended to be a teenager, and she looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old at most, no wonder people would refuse, after all, who would dare to settle accounts with such a half-grown child.

"This shopkeeper, do you recruit people in the store to settle accounts, I will plan to do it." Yu Shu walked into the next door selling vases.

"Don't, don't, go out of the road."

was kicked out again, but this time he said one more word, a good phenomenon, Yu Shu comforted himself, withdrew from the store, and planned to cross the street to the opposite side, turning his head and stepping on something under his feet.

She bent down to pick it up, it was a delicate and small wood-carved pen holder, because she had seen such a thing on Mr. Liu's table in the private school, so she recognized it, but the one in her hand was obviously rougher.

This thing is still worth a few dollars, and Yu Shu decided to pick up the gold after a moment of fascination.

She looked up left and right, and saw a figure not far from the west, carrying several strings of paper bags in both hands, and she saw a pen holder tied with a rope in the colorful paper bag, which was exactly the same as the one in her hand, crumbling, looking like it was about to fall, and she hurriedly chased after it while shouting.

"Hey, hey! Don't go, you've dropped something! ”

Half of the people on the street turned their heads to look at her, but the person didn't look back, because the crowd was crowded, just pushed and shoved, Yu Shu chased for almost half a street, always hanging behind the person, seeing that the other party was about to disappear into the crowd when he turned around the next street corner, she was really anxious, so she shouted at the top of her voice:

"The one in front in a floral dress! Stand for me! ”

Fortunately, the whole street turned to look at her, including the owner.

Yu Shu hurriedly squeezed over, handed him the pen holder, and whispered dissatisfiedly:

"Didn't you hear you shouting several times, is there something wrong with your ears, causing me to chase you for half the street, really."

The man saw the pen holder in Yu Shu's hand, only to realize that he had dropped something, heard Yu Shu blame, chuckled, moved the bits and pieces of his left hand to his right hand, and took the pen holder with his free hand, and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about things, I didn't hear you shout, thank you."

Yu Shu was looking up at the young man who was a head taller than her, seeing the other party's smiling face, and then listening to him politely thank him, he was not embarrassed to make things difficult, stuffed the pen holder into someone's hand, pointed to the other one in his hand, reminded him angrily, and then turned around and got into the crowd again.

"This one is about to fall, you carry something, and if you lose it, no one will chase you all the way to return it."

The young man watched her disappear, and then he looked down at the green stripe on a white background on his body, and said to himself in wonder:

"Is this dress fancy?".
