Saying this face to face, Hongdou also saw this person's face clearly.

He has a pair of slightly delicate sword eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and fair skin.

If you have to find fault, it is that he actually has a pair of beautiful eyes, but when he looks at people, his eyes are too lively.

If you look at him carefully, you can't seem to be sure whether what he says is the same as what he thinks.

Such a person gives people the feeling that they are both good and evil; It seems sincere, but in fact, it is the most difficult to control.

This may be because he is a businessman Shaodong.

Fortunately, when Mi Houjun and Hongdou were talking, they always stood there fixedly, giving her the feeling that they were quite tall and steady.

For some reason, he had a slight impression of this person, and the butcher knife raised high in An Hongdou's heart unconsciously lowered a little.

She quickly calculated in her heart, since she wanted to count on this Mi Houjun to survive the current life and death difficulties and work for him, he would soon be her boss.

From tomorrow onwards, it is inevitable that you will have to face him day and night, and it is not okay to be entangled like this.

Moreover, she also felt that she was about to be too cold at the moment, and she really couldn't entangle with Mi Houjun anymore.

So, he said to Mi Houjun neatly: "Mi Shaodong, you have said it, I don't think you have any trouble abruptly me, and there is no account for you to recognize." ”

"Since you want to help you cook, I have to be cheeky and draw some wages from you first......

When Hongdou said this, the expression on his face was calm and calm, without a trace of embarrassment.

Mi Houjun immediately remembered that her father An Xiu had just come, but it was inconvenient to say anything.

only nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I originally paid Ling Zun first...... But he definitely didn't want to. You come in, and I'll give it to you. ”

Hongdou held back the shiverers, and tried his best to say calmly: "Trouble Mi Shaodong, I'll just stand here." ”

Mi Houjun turned around and entered the shop, and after a while, he came out with a burden and the usual copper coin.

He said to Red Bean: "Red Bean girl, this is the salary I paid you for a month's laundry and cooking. ”

"This ...... I saw that the girl's clothes were still wet, the girl didn't dislike it, these are the new clothes I brought and haven't put on yet, the girl is skillful, change it and wear it, don't freeze your body. ”

Red Bean took the money, but didn't take his burden.

smiled: "Thank you Mi Shaodong, we are poor, we can't wear such satin clothes, we will lose our lives." Shaodong, please come into the house, it's cold outside, I'll cook breakfast for Shaodong tomorrow morning. ”

Seeing An Hongdou like this, Mi Houjun was a little uncertain, and he couldn't force it to her, so he had to watch her turn around and leave.

Standing at the door of the shop for a while, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone nearby.

When I looked up, sure enough, An Hongmi was standing next to a tall bamboo canopy not far away.

Mi Houjun was taken aback, I don't know how long An Hongmi has been here? What are you eavesdropping on?

The night was dark, and An Hongmi was probably hiding behind the bamboo bushes, and when he saw An Hongdou leaving, he walked out, and he suddenly saw it.

Without waiting for Mi Houjun to open his mouth to speak, An Hongmi had already sneered, and said in a strange manner: "It's a pity that Shaodong has a heart......

Before he could say a word, his tone was obviously choked again, thinking that he had already hated poison, and he was in tears.

Mi Houjun was robbed of by An Hongmi like this, and he felt angry in his heart, but listening to her sad tone, he was a little embarrassed.

reluctantly smiled at An Hongmi: "The girl is here, why are you hiding?" ”

"Besides, Hongdou is also your sister, I just look at her pitiful, I'm afraid she won't be able to think about it...... Even if I gave her two clothes that I didn't like, it wasn't worth it or anything. ”

The more Mi Houjun said such an understatement, the more angry An Hongmi became.

Hate defended: "Who is going to hide? I obviously heard Shaodong say that he wanted to marry her and be a big lady, how can I say that she is pitiful? Shaodong is afraid that she will throw water, why is he not afraid of me throwing water? ”

"I'm working hard for Shaodong, busy for Shaodong these days, there is no credit and hard work, I like everything about Shaodong, why didn't I see Shaodong give me a piece and a half?"

Seeing An Hongmi speaking so bluntly, Mi Houjun really didn't want to entangle with her.

smiled and said, "It's not that your family can't afford to wear good clothes, the girl works for me, didn't I pay you more?" ”

Unexpectedly, An Hongmi had an old face, suddenly stepped forward, and grabbed the burden that Mi Houjun held in his hand.

With a coquettish face, he said: "Since others don't accept Shaodong's love, Shaodong might as well give me these two clothes." ”

grabbed the burden and hugged it tightly in his arms, looked at Mi Houjun and said with a smile: "Shaodong should think that I am a talented person who thinks about you everywhere, why do you take good things to those irrelevant fools?" ”

Mi Houjun wanted to raise his face and take away the burden, but he didn't bother to pull with An Hongmi.

But An Hongmi's appearance of beating snakes with sticks, he really couldn't stand it.

Impatiently said: "Okay, girl, don't mess around, it's not early, go back quickly." ”

An Hongmi laughed 'hee', and then left with his burden satisfied.

After walking a few steps, he turned around passionately and wanted to smile at Mi Houjun, but saw that Mi Houjun had already walked into the shop without looking back.

An Hongmi pouted angrily and stomped her foot on the ground.

Hongdou was cold, holding the usual money he had withdrawn from Mi Houjun in his hand, and he almost ran back in a trembling voice.

crashed into An Xiucai's dilapidated house, but saw An Xiucai holding a broken bowl with an open mouth and pulling it with bamboo chopsticks, trying to swallow something.

When the red bean saw that the bowl was black, wrapped in a mess, tears almost came down.

hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the bowl from An Xiucai's hand: "Dad, this thing can't be eaten." ”

It turned out that An Xiucai was really hungry and couldn't stand it, and when he saw the red beans going out, he hurriedly took a bowl and took out a bowl of moldy wild vegetables that had been soaked for I don't know how many days and had begun to turn black.

If it was An Hongdou in the past, he would never think that this thing could not be eaten.

On the contrary, if she was very hungry, she would endure the sour smell and eat it.

When the time comes for the poor people here, who doesn't expect this to die?

But now An Hongdou knows that this thing is no different from poison, and it can't be eaten.

The corners of An Xiucai's mouth were dirty, and when he saw his daughter suddenly snatch his bowl, he finally couldn't help but feel sad.

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, taking the dirty torn sleeves, like a wronged old woman, choked and wiped her tears again.

An Hongdou handed over the money in his hand, and tried his best to hold back his tears and said: "Dad, I went to withdraw a month's salary from Mi Shaodong, a leather store, and you can go to anyone's house to exchange some rice noodles." You can't eat this rotten wild vegetable, and in the future, my daughter will never ask you to eat it again...... Stuff up. ”

She wanted to say 'what pigs and dogs don't want to eat', but suddenly realized that in such a society, how can poor people compare to pigs and dogs from rich people?

An Xiucai's old eyes were dizzy, and he stretched out his thin hands to hold the money handed to him by the red beans, and said almost tremblingly: "Nier, what are you...... Where does the consistent money come from? ”

Hongdou glared at him unconsciously, and said in a heavy tone: "Why does Dad have such a flat look? Can Bai and people talk about fake sour Sven to survive? We are already so poor, who is willing to help us with half a penny? ”

"It's not stealing and robbing, I'm just withdrawing a month's salary from the leather shop Mi Shaodong first, starting tomorrow, I will naturally go to work for him to pay off the debt, what are you afraid of?"

An Xiucai heard that Hongdou said that it was the salary paid by Shaodong, a leather store, and hurriedly said: "However, we already owe him ......."

Before he could say a word, he saw Red Bean staring at him.

An Xiucai was really a little afraid of the current red beans, and hurriedly changed his words: "Hey, it's my father who is confused, my father is confused...... Dad, I'm going to Mrs. Chen's house to get some rice and noodles. ”

He carefully unfastened the thin hemp rope that ran through the money, and Baby Beibei took off the two coins.

Tie the rest of the rope buckle, put it under his tattered straw core pillow, touched and touched, and then sleeved the two pennies and went out.

As soon as he went out, he was startled by a dark shadow standing at the door, and when he looked closely, it was the big black dog of Zhang's butcher's house.

An Xiucai was so angry that he stomped his foot and muttered: "Dead dog, scared me to death." ”

The big black man ran away in a huff.

An Hongdou was cold, and there was nothing to protect him from the cold in the house, so he had to sit on the broken straw again, wrap himself in the thin broken quilt, and have to stand in the open field.

Thinking that An Xiucai treated the money so solemnly, he felt ridiculous in his heart.

An Xiucai went out for a long time and entered the house with a small blackened coarse cloth bag.

When he entered the house, he said again and again: "Luckily, my father heard that Aunt Chen was so noisy, and when she saw that I took out two pennies, she was willing to redeem my half bag of coarse wheat noodles." ”

He said happily, "Nier, you cook well, Dad will mix salty batter for you to eat." ”

The red bean was wrapped in a broken quilt, and said without raising his head: "Dad, I don't want to eat batter, I want to eat pancakes." ”

An Xiucai hesitated for a moment: "Nier......"

Hongdou said firmly: "Dad, you put together this half bag of noodles, and we will eat happily tonight." ”

An Xiu is a person who is poor and hungry, and after all, he is still a little reluctant to kill this half bag of noodles at once.

Hesitantly: "Nier, this is too wasteful, half a bag of noodles...... That's enough to eat batter for several days. ”

Hongdou smiled: "Dad, don't worry, I'm not stupid anymore, I'll think of ways to continue to make money." ”

"Half a bag of noodles isn't worth anything...... Besides, you have only used two pennies for the money, and you won't starve to death just because you have eaten this half bag of noodles tonight. ”

An Xiucai saw Hongdou say this, although he didn't dare to disobey, and the noodles were baked, he still had a confused heart in the end.

Hongdou repeatedly told him to eat more, and he ate more than ten pancakes in one breath full of guilt.

An Xiucai ate this sweet and filling meal that he hadn't eaten for I don't know how many years, and before he knew it, he lay on the broken couch and fell asleep.

An Hongdou had a full stomach and felt less cold, but she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

At this moment, like An Hongdou, he can't sleep, and Shaodong Mihoujun in the leather goods store in the east of the village.

The young owner of the leather goods store in the provincial capital, just to have a falling out with his father, followed Lao Yu to Longshan Pass to see the shop.

Longshan Pass is at the foot of Linglong Mountain.

The terrain of Linglong Mountain is not very majestic, but it stretches out, verdant and elegant, looking at it from a distance, like an elegant and undulating green dragon.

Only for Linxian County there is a Qinglong Mountain, the local people taboo black black, the villagers call the mountain here Linglong Mountain.

Who knows that the people here are inarticulate, and after a long time, Linglong Mountain is called Linglong Mountain.

Qinglong Mountain is rich in dragon wood, but Linglong Mountain is rich in bamboo and mountain chestnut.

Because of the abundance of food, there are many weasels and winter grass rats and fire foxes in the mountains.

Every winter, hunters living in the mountains take their freshly skinned skins and go down to the mountains to buy them.

In order to obtain the most lucrative profits, the Mi family built a simple shop specializing in fur blanks in Longshan Pass.

The shop is not open all year round, and every year in the winter season, someone will be sent to open the door of the shop to guard, and it will not be closed until the spring of the second year.

In previous years, it was called Lao Yulai.

This year, Lao Yu accompanied his master to this place where birds don't.

A few days later, Lao Yu left with the porter who delivered the luggage, leaving Mi Shaodong alone to watch the shop.

Before leaving, Lao Yu explained to his master: "If you think you are happy to do laundry and cook by yourself, you can take a few pennies to the village to find An Xiucai, who writes for people, and call his little Nizi, who specializes in laundry helpers." ”

Half a month later, Lao Yu returned to the shop with his porter to transport leather goods.

As soon as Lao Yu entered the shop, he saw a big girl from the countryside dressed in colorful clothes, raising her eyebrows and glaring, and was arguing loudly with a few hunters who came down from the mountains to sell skins.

Lao Yu was taken aback, and after asking for a long time, this Shao Dong said indifferently, that is, it was really fun to see the girl of Anjia Hongmi.

I jokingly summoned her, and didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

When the old man left, he frowned and repeatedly told himself that Shaodong must not provoke the girl of the second family.

Although Mi Houjun is a businessman's little brother's heart, he is somewhat treacherous and light-hearted, but he is also a very transparent person, of course he knows what Lao Yu means.

If you run out on your own, you won't get anything.

But he didn't know how to get back such a vulgar woman, and it is estimated that his father was really braided by him.

This young man asked himself, it seems that he has not been so unscrupulous.

Mi Houjun took two pieces of money and forced it into An Hongmi, and sent her away regardless of whether she was happy or not.

This Shaodong, who has never been concerned about anything, turned over on the bed, thinking about today's events, and became more and more unable to sleep.

On the same day, he sent An Hongmi, took a few big money to find An Xiucai, and said that he wanted his family to take him to help him cook.

But the sour show was "then, then" for a long time, saying that his red beans were stupid.

The porridge is burnt, and the pancakes are scorched, and the pancakes are pasted, and they can only help people wash a few clothes to earn a few pennies.
