Xu Wanyun took the ten yuan from Zhang's hand, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

This is her day's wages, to be exact, the last day's wages, and tomorrow she will have to go back to her old life.

She worked and lived under this straw hut for twenty-four days, yes, twenty-four days, she remembered very clearly—these were the happiest and happiest days she had ever grown up.

With tears in her eyes, she put ten big coins into the blue cloth bag that already had more than two hundred coins, and then carefully placed the blue cloth bag on a stack of clothes of different thicknesses - those were the old clothes that the little third aunt gave her - carefully tied up the wrapper, and carried it on her shoulders, the heavy feeling made her feel a little better, and these savings, saving a little money, could make her live for a long time.

In fact, she had nothing to complain about, for all the work had been done yesterday - twenty packs of cigarettes were wrapped in wax-soaked covers, and became one cigarette, and each hundred cigarettes were carefully tied with fine hemp rope, and placed in wooden boxes covered with oiled paper and sprinkled with quicklime, and nailed to the lids, and there were more than three hundred of them. If it hadn't been dark by the time it was all done last night, all the wooden crates would have been loaded onto the ship.

After more than 20 days of getting along day and night, the Zhang family and the little third aunt had already mingled with these diligent female homeless people, so the Zhang family was in charge, and even though there was no work today, they still gave the female homeless people a day's wages.

Carrying the burden, Xu Wanyun looked around at this grass hut that was too familiar to be more familiar, and reluctantly rubbed the long wooden table, her left and right front and back, full of female homeless people who were full of attachment to this place.

"Bang!"

The gate was opened, the pillar took the lead, the escorts and sailors pushed in more than a dozen rack carts, and began to load wooden boxes, Xu Wanyun and the female homeless people saw this, and silently stepped forward to help.

A rack car loaded with two boxes of cigarettes, and then tied firmly with a rope, this thing can't even take the time of a stick of incense, looking at the rack car that is leaving, Xu Wanyun knows that the time to leave is really up, and her eyes are red again.

During the loading process, the pillar looked at Xu Wanyun from time to time - the girl was clean today, and her beautiful face had a pair of big eyes watery, which made him feel excited.

There is plenty of food these days, and the girl who was originally shriveled is now obviously plump, and her high chest and round buttocks can't be covered even by thick cotton robe and overalls, which makes the junior brother Zhuzi can't help but think of the meat jokes of the guys in the dormitory, and his face is red and his heart beats for a while.

The process of loading the car was very short, and before the pillar could appreciate the girl's beauty, the last frame car had already gone out, and the pillar followed him out of the door, and after walking for a while, he suddenly stopped, as if he had made up his mind, walked back to the yard quickly, walked to Xu Wanyun with his head down, took out a cloth bag and stuffed it into her baggage, and stammered, "Okay...... Good...... Live well. After speaking, he ran out as if fleeing, leaving only a burly back dangling in Xu Wanyun's heart.

She was stunned for a long time before she took out the cloth bag from her baggage, opened the layers of rags, and a piece of silver was in sight!

Biting her lower lip, Xu Wanyun looked up at the empty gate, dripping.

Silently wrapped the silver coin and stuffed it into her arms, she wiped away her tears, and was about to turn around, when an arm was put on her shoulder, and when she turned her head, she saw that it was the chubby face of the little third aunt.

"Girl, don't be sad, my nephew said, wait another three or five months, and when he comes back, I want you to continue to roll cigarettes." Listening to the comforting words of the little third aunt, Xu Wanyun's eyes lit up, and then dimmed, three or five months, how difficult it should be.

Looking at her gloomy eyes, the little third aunt naturally knew the reason, sighed slightly, patted her shoulder and said, "Last time you said you lived on the left bank of the Shahe estuary?" …… The next time I come to see you when I go into the city, I'll bring you something to eat. ”

At the end, the little third aunt pulled her shoulder, stared at her and said softly, "Live well, do you hear?" ”

Zhang didn't see this scene, and she ran away and went home after the money was paid - she couldn't see this crying scene with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

But she still couldn't hide from her grief - there was a rack car in the yard of her house, and Chu Qin Xiancha was busy loading Chu Fan's luggage.

Thinking that her only son will set sail tomorrow, the future is long, the wind is high and the waves are urgent, her nose is sore, and tears can't stop pouring out.

Chu Qin had already seen the tears on her mother's face, quickly put down the rattan box in her hand, walked to Zhang's side with small steps, and said softly, "Mother, don't cry, don't cry, it's unlucky." ”

Comforting in her mouth, her own eyes turned red, she sniffed and said, "Mother, just now the old Luo family came, saying that the little brother is leaving tomorrow, and they have nothing to respect, so they sent a large bucket of seafood." ”

Zhang wiped away his tears, turned around and walked to the kitchen, muttering, "It's just right, make a delicious meal for Fan'er...... Tomorrow I will go to sea, but I will have to eat dry food every day. ”

Xian Cha also packed his luggage, and Chu Qin and the two came over to help.

The sea cucumbers are fat in the vats, two large crabs are spitting bubbles and dancing their teeth and claws, small squid is wriggling on the clam shells, and huge prawns have long whiskers......

The three of them sorted the seafood, discussed how to cook these ingredients, in order to cook a big meal for Chu Fan, the Zhang family also asked Xian Cha to go around the village, in addition to preparing all kinds of ingredients, and bought a chicken, a piece of tenderloin, and half of the pork liver.

When Chu Fan came back in the afternoon, the table of eight immortals in the side hall of the main room was already full of dishes: braised sea cucumber with green onions, fried loin with coriander, steamed chicken legs, crab and radish soup, fried clams, stir-fried sea shrimp with sweet and sour sauce, fried chicken with sauce, pork liver, and squid rolls...... In the middle is a large pot of milky white soup, which is made by boiling pomfret all afternoon and then hooking it with thick roots.

Looking at the red and frozen fingers of the Zhang family, Chu Fan was distressed and moved - it was not easy to make such a table of dishes on this cold day.

Holding back the sourness of his nose, Chu Fan sat down on the edge of the table one by one with the tearful Zhang, the red-eyed Chu Qin, the reluctant idle tea, and the drooling Niuniu staring at the table, smiling and pouring wine for everyone, constantly gagging, and never mentioning the matter of the sea.

He tasted every dish carefully, praised them one by one, and kept serving vegetables to everyone, which made the sour feelings in the room much lighter.

After eating a meal for more than half an hour, Chu Fan felt that he had held on until his throat was over, and after cleaning up the cups and plates, Chu Fan noticed that Zhang pulled Xiancha into the main room and talked for a long time, and finally Xiancha came out with a red face like a red cloth, glanced at Chu Fan and quickly fled back to the room.

Chu Fan was wondering, Zhang came out with a straight face, and threw a sentence to Chu Fan, which stunned him.
