"Mother......" A childish child's voice sounded hoarse and weak.

"Hello! Wake up! Hearing this voice, Yueniang's hand froze, and she hurriedly held Luo Qinghe's face, and found that there was a glow in the eyes that looked like herself, and she suddenly burst into tears.

Looking at Yueniang's heartfelt happy appearance, Luo Qinghe's heart was sour, and he was very moved, and he raised his hand to touch Yueniang's hand with difficulty.

"It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up!" Yueniang choked and held her daughter's hand: "Nan, you are sober!" Before, your grandpa and I called you every day, but you didn't respond... If you have three long and two short, how can your mother live! ”

"Mother......" Luo Qinghe seemed to remember the fire of that day, his heart tightened, and he asked softly: "Mother... My face..."

"It's okay, it's okay!" When Yueniang heard this, she hurriedly appeased, reached out and took a small mirror with a missing corner on the windowsill and put it in front of Luo Qinghe's eyes, looked at the white little face in the mirror and said, "Mother's daughter is still so good-looking!" ”

Luo Qinghe took the mirror and looked at his face carefully: the woman in the mirror was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the peach blossom eyes on her fair little face were very similar to Yueniang, and she looked like a beauty at first glance, but she looked a little weak after lingering on the sickbed for so long.

"Alas......" At this time, Yueniang shook her head slightly, sighed, and gently pulled Luo Qinghe's left hand holding the mirror and said: "The scar on the back of the neck can be covered by combing your hair, but the ...... on this arm"

When Luo Qinghe heard this, his breathing stagnated, but his complexion did not change, he looked at the scar on his arm, and said softly: "Mother... Are you going to work at the Fang family in the town? ”

"It's a matter of the right thing...... You know what? Hearing her ask, Yueniang was a little unnatural, and she didn't want her daughter to know that she was going to be a person, so she hurriedly relieved: "Don't worry, the Fang family is also a family that pays attention to etiquette, and the Fang family still has an official position!" As long as my mother comes to work in their house, our family doesn't have to be so tight! ”

"Alas... Since ancient times, there have been many rights and wrongs of wealthy families......" Luo Qinghe said secretly in his heart, and hurriedly reminded: "Mother, there are many rights and wrongs in the mansion, you must be careful when you go, and you must protect yourself......"

"Yo, how old are you, what the hell are you doing!" Looking at her daughter's appearance of 'pretending to be old', Yueniang smiled, pinched Luo Qinghe's little face and said, "Your mother is just doing some chores in the backyard to make a living, what can happen!" ”

"No, mother......"

"Hello! Aren't you just afraid that there are many people in the big house, and I will be angry! Seeing that Luo Qinghe was still not at ease, Yueniang hurriedly held her little hand and said, "Don't worry, our family is in such a situation now, you can eat any bitter girl!" Don't worry, hurry up and eat breakfast! ”

Yueniang said, and hurriedly helped Luo Qinghe to sit next to Aunt Wang, and then got up and walked out.

"I've just eaten it, so let's eat it first! I went to Sister-in-law Chen's house next door to borrow a clean dress, and then freshened up and went directly to Fang's house to apply for a job! ”

"Go, go, go! Be careful on the road! Aunt Wang looked at the back of Yueniang hurriedly going out and instructed.

Yueniang left, and came back more than three hours later.

"Daddy! Mother! I'm back! As soon as the ancestors of the Wang family woke up from a nap, they heard the sound of Yueniang rushing from outside the door. I saw her carrying a few small oiled paper bags, her face full of joy, obviously working in the Fang family.

As soon as Yueniang entered the house, she put the things in her hand on the table, picked up the teacup and drank a few big sips of water, and said excitedly: "Dad, mother!" You know, I almost didn't get the job! ”

"What's going on?" When Aunt Wang saw her daughter's appearance, she sat down with Yueniang and asked.

"Their Fang family really deserves to be a big family, and they are very rigorous in recruiting people! Today, the second lady came to interview in person, and said that if you don't sign the deed of sale, don't do it! As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly begged the second lady, saying that I still have elderly parents and underage children at home, and my husband left early, and this family is waiting for me to feed! As I was talking, the old lady of the Fang family happened to come over there, and when I heard that the old lady seemed to be a little sympathetic to my situation, she asked in detail, and I heard that our family made dim sum, so she kindly left me in the kitchen, and gave me money according to the treatment of a regular worker! The more Yueniang spoke, the more excited she became.

"As soon as I heard it, this family is so kind-hearted, I have to work hard! No, seeing that it was time for lunch, I simply helped cook in the back kitchen before leaving, and when I was leaving, I met the old lady again, she saw that I was diligent in my hands and feet, and remembered that my family was in difficulty, and also advanced my salary for a month! Saying that, Yueniang took out a string of copper coins from her arms, and Aunt Wang took a count, there were more than three hundred!

When the second elder of the Wang family saw it, his face was immediately full of joy, he wrapped the copper coin carefully in a handkerchief, and said again: "Ah yes, thanks to Aunt Guo's introduction this time, you are also settled, our family should buy something and come to the door to thank you!" ”

"Coincidentally, Dad! When I came back from the town, I bought this food and sent it to Aunt Guo's house, but Aunt Guo said that our family had just suffered a fire at a difficult time, and she couldn't bear to ask our family to get something after several shirks, so I saw that Aunt Guo was resolute, so I didn't insist anymore. But it's okay, it's going to be a long time, and I'll give more gifts during the New Year's Festival! ”

"Good, good, do it right, do it right!" When the second elder heard this, he praised again and again.

Yueniang took the oiled paper bag on the table and opened it, sent it to the second elder and said, "Dad, mother, this is the peach blossom cake I was going to give to Aunt Guo just now, you can eat some!" ”

"No, no, no, we can eat anything with a handful of old bones, Nan Nan has been hungry for so many days, you hurry up and send it to her!" The second elder of the Wang family was worried about his granddaughter and refused again and again.

"Oops, enough to eat! And what about that! Yueniang couldn't help but say, stuffed a whole bag into Aunt Wang, and smiled and rolled up a piece to block the mouth of the shopkeeper Wang.

"No," Yueniang picked up another oiled paper bag and walked towards the back room, "I'll send it to Nannan!" ”

When the two elders of the Wang family saw this situation, they only felt full of relief, and the sorrow of the past few days had dissipated a lot.

Luo Qinghe heard Yueniang's excited voice, but he was bedridden for days, except for the breakfast just now, she didn't eat a drop of water, she was very weak, and when Yueniang entered the house, she sat up and put on her clothes with difficulty, and as soon as she saw Yueniang, she asked: "Mother, do you have a good life to take care of when you come back from Fang's house?" ”

"Dots?" Yueniang saw that Luo Qinghe could sit up by herself, and she was overjoyed, and was just about to feed her the peach blossom cake, but she was a little confused by her question.

"Mother~ You were taken care of by the old lady as soon as you went to Fang's house, and you were extra kind and didn't let you sign the deed of sale, and also gave you an advance on your salary, so won't the other people be jealous when they see it? If you take the initiative to spend a little money, even if you buy a few packs of dim sum and distribute them, they won't be happy for you, will they? Luo Qinghe saw that Yueniang looked confused, shook his head and patiently analyzed.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Yueniang has a straightforward personality, and now she only thinks that Luo Qinghe is too worried, and said in a brisk tone: "Nannan, why are you so worried after waking up, where do you have so much thought at a young age!" The Fang family is so rich, who cares about my little broken gift? And everyone is working, where are there so many twists and turns! ”

Luo Qinghe saw Yueniang's attitude, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, okay, mother, even if the next person doesn't take care of it, you should always give some gifts to the second lady, today she should be the master of recruiting people, but the old lady crossed her and left you, if the second lady is unhappy, what should I do if I give you small shoes in the future?" ”

"This kid! , how can the wife of a big family have the leisure to deal with us subordinates?! Besides, I was left by the old lady, and she dared to get along with me, didn't she also slap the old lady in the face? ”

"Mother..."Luo Qinghe saw that Yueniang was so naïve, and only felt that her future life in the Fang family would be sad.

"Forget it, it's just a job in the back kitchen, how can there be so many fancy intestines, don't worry about it, it's better to take care of your body than anything else!" Yueniang had a nonchalant attitude, and stuffed the peach blossom cake into Luo Qinghe's hand, "Hurry up and eat!" ”

Seeing that Yueniang didn't want to say more, Luo Qinghe was uneasy in his heart, so he could only give up, bowed his head and silently ate the peach blossom cake.

Luoquan Town is located in the north, and it began to cool down at the end of October, and the days passed quietly, and it was December in a blink of an eye.

Approaching the end of the year, all the families in the town are clustered, and big families like the Fang family are even busier. Yueniang came back later and later, and when she came back, she looked more and more tired, and Luo Qinghe and the second elder of the Wang family were very distressed.

Luo Qinghe looked at the family's description, he could only eat and sleep well, quickly take care of his body, and he could also share some work for the family.

In the cold winter, the sky outside is biting cold, and the water in the well is floating with a thin layer of ice. Luo Qinghe washed cold water for two days, and then he contracted the wind cold. Yueniang was very distressed, so she got up early and finished the washing work before leaving.

But after such a toss, Yueniang, who was already exhausted, lost a lot of weight when she saw it, and her face was very pale, so anxious that the second elder of the Wang family often secretly shed tears, and only hated herself for being useless......

The days of busy work passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the nineteenth day of the lunar month.

The snowflakes drifted intermittently for half a month, and finally looked forward to the sun on this day, Luo Qinghe thought about taking out the bedding at home to dry and go to the moisture, but it was such a tidying up, but he suddenly felt a beige purse embroidered with orchids under the mattress.

When he opened it and took a look, he found that there was half a bag of broken silver in his purse, so Luo Qinghe hurriedly held it and handed it to the second elder of the Wang family, but suddenly muttered for a few seconds and said: "Grandpa, I thought there was really no money in the family!" This is not! ”

As soon as he saw this silver, the shopkeeper Wang sighed: "Wang Dong, that rebel son who is not as good as beasts, still has a little conscience!" ”

When Aunt Wang saw this purse, her dry hand gently stroked the gentleman Lan on top and said, "Isn't this the orchid you embroidered for your cousin?" Eighty percent of the money was stolen from the house by your aunt before setting the fire, and your cousin couldn't bear it, so he kept some of it......

Luo Qinghe listened, his brows tightened, his expression was a little puzzled, and he turned around to cover it up and said, "Yes, I said why do I seem to have seen it somewhere......"

"Nan Na, you must be on fire or frightened, plus it's normal to have a poor memory after sleeping for so many days, hurry, go back and lie down, don't suffer the wind!" Shopkeeper Wang thought that Luo Qinghe was uncomfortable again, so he hurriedly got up and helped her back to the house.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Aunt Wang stuffed the purse into Luo Qinghe's hand and said, "Since it was left to you by your cousin, you can take it!" If you go to the temple that day, you will pray for you and offer incense, and bless you with a speedy recovery! ”

Looking at the second elder of the Wang family caring about himself so wholeheartedly, Luo Qinghe only felt full of emotion, and his nose was sour.
