In 1916, it was still snowy in Romania, but people still had to fight for their livelihoods.

In Galat, the city between the Prut and Siret rivers is the last Romanian city in the swamps where the Danube River enters the estuary. In ancient times, it was an important port of the Roman Empire, and gradually developed by exporting grain and timber.

In this city, people who need to work get up before dawn. Among them, Butovino also left the warm quilt and got up early in the morning.

"Butovino, get up so early. If you don't continue to rest with your wife and children, it's Sunday. ”

The landlord, Dordemet, looked at Butovino with a tired face, and asked a little surprised.

Butovino washed his face with the cold water, sobered himself up, and smiled at the landlord. "I still need to go out and find a part-time job today, and I hope I can get lucky."

After saying that, Butovino turned his head to look at his dark room, as if he could see his sleeping wife and children, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

The landlord Dodemet's reaction to Butovino is not surprising at all, and he has come over this way. However, his son was studying in Bucharest, and during the winter break some time ago, his son came back and preached that the kingdom needed to protect all Romanians from being oppressed abroad, and that he should also contribute as a member of the Romanian kingdom.

So he planned to go to the nearest region of Bessarabia and preach this idea to the oppressed Romanians there. This made the landlord angry, and he scolded his son with a slap in the face. But in the end, it is a young man, how can Lao Tzu slander his ideals, so the two fathers and sons quarreled, and no one could convince you. However, in the end, it was the landlord who held the financial power of his son, so this hot-blooded young man did not succeed anywhere, and was locked in the room for the entire winter vacation.

It wasn't until the school was about to start recently that he was released by Dodmet and sent to school in person. No, the landlord, Mr. Dodmet, had just come back from the train when he met Butovino, said hello, and prepared to go back to the house to sleep and relieve the hardship of traveling.

When Butovino finished washing up and was about to go back to the house to get a coat, just as he was lightly picking up the coat, his wife Uzdona suddenly spoke. "Dono, aren't you going to take a break today? I was already so tired at the lumber mill that I finally had to go out to find work during the holidays. ”

Hearing his wife's voice, Butovino said softly. "You're awake."

"yes, I woke up while you were talking to the landlord."

"You also know that we have a lot of family now, and we can't support the little ones in the family if we don't work hard to earn money. Besides, you've just had surgery, and I need to earn some money to get my medical bills back. ”

Butovino had a happy smile on his face when he said about the little one, and he and his wife raised three children. Among them, the newborn son was sent to the hospital for a caesarean section because of his wife's dystocia, so that the mother and child could be safe. However, the operation had depleted half of the family's savings, so Butovino planned to find odd jobs during his vacation.

"It's really my fault, if it weren't for ......"

Butovino stepped forward and stopped his wife with his hand, he said. "It's not anyone's fault, it's God's will. Besides, we've just lost a sum of money, and when we recover, we'll easily earn it back. Krudge and Kirtina (eldest and second daughter) are waiting for us to go back to their hometown to see them. ”

Butovino's words brought a happy smile to his wife, who lifted up her pillow and said to her husband. "I don't have enough milk ★ and need to buy some milk powder for my child."

Hearing his wife's words, Butovino chuckled in his heart, but said without changing his face. "I'll bring a can when I come back from work today."

After reassuring his wife, Butovino walked out of the room and sighed to himself. Now the price of a can of milk powder is not cheap, the price of a can of general milk powder is 9 lei, and a good milk powder can reach 2 or 30 lei. When my eldest son was born a few years ago, the price was only 3.5 lei a can, especially in the past two years, the price of baby supplies has risen rapidly, as if every family is giving birth.

Butovino just complained, and his life was still very satisfying for him. He and his wife only need to work to support a family of five and subsidize their parents who are still working at home in their old age. And you can also save some money, and in the future you can buy a house in the city and have a nest of your own.

In Butovino's thirty years of knowledge, there is no better life than now. You must know that when he was a child, his parents worked hard to bring him and his sister to the farm in his hometown, and they often starved because of food shortages. Now, if you work hard, you can feed your family and send your children to school. In Butovino's heart, this is what the old priest of the village called paradise, a world without hunger.

Seeing that it was beginning to lighten, Butovino stepped out of his rented house and walked through an alley into the street. There is a bus stop two hundred meters to the left of the alley, where you can sit where you want to go for only 5-20 barneys (100 barneys = 1 lei). It just so happened that the place where Butovino was going to do odd jobs was right next to one of the platforms. Butovino hurried to the bus station and waited for the bus.

It didn't take long for Butovino to wait before the bus came. He squeezed into the car with the flow of people, and when he walked up to the conductor, the fat conductor looked at every passenger who got on the bus with sharp eyes. Butovino knew what the conductor meant, and he hurriedly handed her the 15 barneys he had prepared. And quickly say your destination.

"I'll get off at the National First Hospital station."

Twenty minutes later, Butovino stood on the bus platform of the First National Hospital. He wiped his sweaty forehead and strode towards the First National Hospital of Galatz. This part-time job was introduced to him by a friend in his hometown, which was to help the hospital build a new medical building.

The First National Hospital has always been the best hospital in Galatz County, and every time the government has any health funding, it will think of giving it to the First National Hospital first. So much so that the director of the Second National Hospital scolded at the meeting of the health department that the Second National Hospital was not under the jurisdiction of Galatz. It's useless to scold, the funds that should be given to the First National Hospital are still a lot, and the rest is distributed to the Second National Hospital.

Now Butovino is going to work here for a day to earn some living expenses to support the family. ()
