Chapter 160: A Humble Gentleman, Happiness and Health
After Lin Jinxiu finished wiping the medicine on the little boy's face, he checked his arms and legs, as well as his back, and tried his best to apply the medicine to the injuries on his body.
Even squatting on the ground, grabbing his ankles, and drugging his legs.
Originally, the little boy blushed, saying that men and women would not kiss each other, and would not let Lin Jinxiu move himself, but Lin Jinxiu laughed and ridiculed:
"I didn't even think of this, what is in your little brain."
In the end, the little boy still made a concession and asked Lin Jinxiu to apply medicine to her.
The main thing is the two men next to Lin Jinxiu, one Cui Xu and the other Huai Yanqing.
Either the physique is strong, or the martial arts are strong, if a careless hand is heavy, it will be even worse for the little boy to be injured.
"Thank you."
After Lin Jinxiu finished giving the little boy the medicine, the little boy's face was also red.
"No thanks." Lin Jinxiu replied lightly, got up from the ground, covered the medicine bottle and put it away.
"The food is here~" At this time, Ning'er's voice also came.
As soon as the curtain in the kitchen was lifted, Ning'er came out with a bowl of porridge and a plate of vegetables and placed them in front of the little boy.
"This is specially made for you by Brother Xu, little brother, eat it."
Ning Er sat beside Huai Yanqing, holding her cheeks with both hands, looking at the little boy.
The little boy picked up the chopsticks on the table, and only took a bite under Ning'er's repeated urging, and then frowned and sped up his eating.
He devoured as if he had never eaten a full meal, crying as he ate, and wiping away tears from his sleeve from time to time.
"Little brother, don't worry." Seeing that he was eating so quickly, Ning Er opened her mouth.
At this time, Cui Xu also walked out of the kitchen, carrying a cloth bag and placing it on the table.
"That's the kid, isn't it?" Cui Xu asked.
Ning Er and Huai Yanqing nodded.
"It's baked cakes and steamed buns, and I also put some dishes in the middle for you, remember to return the bowl tomorrow after eating." Cui Xu said.
The little boy saw the food on the table and muttered thank you while holding the food in his mouth.
Finally waiting for the little boy to finish eating, Ning Er hurriedly asked, "Have you eaten enough?" I haven't eaten enough. β
The little boy sniffed and took out the money from his body: "Thank you, how much does it cost?" β
"No money." Lin Jinxiu's voice came from behind the bar, "It's all leftovers, you can eat as much as you want, it's enough!" β
The little boy paused as he held the money bag, and then said thank you and put it away.
"You've said enough thank you today."
Lin Jinxiu came over with a few pieces of paper, squeezed Cui Xu away, and sat opposite the little boy.
"Come, do these questions."
She shoved the paper and an abacus into the little boy's hand.
No one has ever used this abacus, but it is only used for display, because no one in the whole store can use an abacus at all.
The little boy looked at the paper in his hand, which was full of simple calculation problems, and looked up at Lin Jinxiu with a confused face.
"That's right." Lin Jinxiu explained, "I just lack an account office in this store, and you just need to find a new job, so I'll give it a try." β
She gestured to the piece of paper with her chin: "Do these questions, and if you are qualified, you can come to my shop to work." β
After saying that, I would add: "I won't be in arrears." β
As soon as Lin Jinxiu finished speaking, Huai Yanqing's disdainful eyes swept over: "You are embarrassed to say, I have been working for so long, what about the money?" β
"Yanqing, you say." Lin Jinxiu lay on the table with a smile, "You eat and drink here, where I live, which of the clothes you wear and the bedding you use didn't I bought?" What do you need, I didn't buy it for you? Does it count as money for you? β
Hearing Lin Jinxiu say this, Huai Yanqing leaned on the table, "I was wrong, please continue to support me." β
Lin Jinxiu said righteously: "You work for me, I will spend money for you, this is called the equivalent exchange of labor." β
"Cut." Hearing that Lin Jinxiu began to say things he didn't understand again, Huai Yanqing focused on the child, "Let's do the question." β
The little boy nodded, holding the pen in one hand and the abacus in the other, and just glanced at the question and crackled the abacus.
Lin Jinxiu was a little surprised to see that his right-hand writing was synchronized with his left-hand plan, and the coordination was very good.
The little boy seemed to be working very hard, and Lin Jinxiu finished the question he gave him after a while.
After taking the question in front of the little boy, Lin Jinxiu took the pen and calculated it again.
When Lin Jinxiu was checking, the little boy kept looking at her with expectant eyes.
It took me half the time, and the calculated values were correct.
Although I don't know where this child practiced such a technique, this is a survival skill of others, and I can think of it if I work hard to learn it.
"It's great." Lin Jinxiu praised.
"Come and work in my shop."
In the end, Lin Jinxiu said to the little guy with a smile.
"Really?"
The little boy was surprised.
"Of course it's true." Lin Jinxiu looked at him, "By the way, you don't have a name, do you?" β
The little boy nodded.
"It's so inconvenient not to have a name." Lin Jinxiu looked at him with her cheeks on her cheeks and thought for a while, "I'll give you one!" β
As soon as he heard that Lin Jinxiu was going to name himself, the little boy stood up suddenly: "What? β
"The shopkeeper, you have to be a parent to name him, what rules do you have for him?" Cui Xu looked at Lin Jinxiu and said.
The shopkeeper just likes to think of one step at a time, although he doesn't mind, but people probably will.
"I can't give him his full name, can't I give him a name?"
Lin Jinxiu looked over with disdain, then turned her gaze to the little boy and fell into thought.
"Although you are not very old, you have a strong sense of responsibility, and you are full of care for your sister."
Lin Jinxiu thought as she spoke.
"Then call you Qianlu." Lin Jinxiu wrote down that name on a piece of paper.
"May you be a humble gentleman and be blessed for a lifetime."
"Humility." Huai Yanqing read the name that Lin Jinxiu gave the little boy, and felt a little dissatisfied, "Isn't it a little awkward?" β
Lin Jinxiu also read it twice, and felt that it seemed to be a little: "Then I'll change it again......"
"No need!" As soon as Lin Jinxiu said what she wanted to change, she was interrupted by the little boy shouting.
Lin Jinxiu hummed suspiciously, the little boy panted wildly, looking very excited, and his words trembled a little: "No need to change it, I, I like this name!" β
"Okay." Lin Jinxiu shrugged, since he likes it, then he doesn't need to change it, he just said that he was used to it.
Qianlu, Qianlu, sounds a little similar to Lele's full name Tianle, maybe it is because of this that Lin Jinxiu likes this name.
However, in comparison, Tianle is much smoother, and the meaning is much simpler.
"If only there was a Xinhua dictionary here......" Lin Jinxiu muttered.
Little boy, oh, it should be called Qianlu now, tears have been rolling in his eyes after getting the name, and he kept bowing to Lin Jinxiu and saying thank you, and the tears on his face slipped down as he spoke.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Lin Jinxiu pulled him over and dragged a handkerchief to wipe his face, "If you have a name, cherish it, hurry up and bring the food back, my sister is still at home, I guess I have to wait in a hurry." β
Hearing Lin Jinxiu say this, Qianlu picked up the package on the table, hummed vigorously, turned around and ran out of the store.
"Remember to come to work early tomorrow!" Lin Jinxiu shouted at his back.
However, Qianlu didn't seem to hear it, and ran fast with the package in his arms.
But Huai Yanqing slipped behind Lin Jinxiu: "What is going to work?" β
"It's just work." Lin Jinxiu habitually explained casually, "When I finish my work and go home, I will call off work." β
"Oh-" Huai Yanqing dragged his voice.
Cui Xu and Ning Er also came to join in the fun, Cui Xu asked Lin Jinxiu: "Shopkeeper, what do you think of this little guy?" β
Lin Jinxiu looked at the direction in which Qianlu's figure disappeared and touched his chin: "So far...... It feels like a ...... Very serious, very responsible, and a very pure little boy. β
Speaking of this, Lin Jinxiu paused slightly: "However, I always feel that he has a story on him." β
Although Lin Jinxiu couldn't guarantee what kind of story it was, she was a little curious.
"Guys, give you a task." Lin Jinxiu said.
"What?" Huai Yanqing and Cui Xu responded.
"Use the friendship between you men to set up the story clichΓ© about him." Lin Jinxiu looked at the two men beside her, and her eyes were like the bosses of the protagonists in the spy movie.
However, Huai Yanqing refused: "If you let me observe what is wrong with him, I can still help you take a look, but if it is a clichΓ©, ......"
Cui Xu obviously agreed with Huai Yanqing's words: "If it's a clichΓ©, it's still the shopkeeper." β
"Me?" Lin Jinxiu pointed to herself, "No matter how you are, you are all men, isn't it easy to achieve friendship between men?" β
Could it be that there is still a generation gap between you?
But when you think about it, they seem to be more than five years behind in age, and it should be okay to say that there is a generation gap.
"You saved his benefactor, bandaged him, named him, and said that I believe that the child regarded you as his mother." Huai Yanqing said, "So this set of words, I have to come to you." β
Lin Jinxiu thinks about it, maybe she is really suitable to be a confidant big sister?
"Okay." Lin Jinxiu agreed.
"Okay, I can pack up and go home, my aunt is probably hungry, and I have to go back to accompany my son."
β¦β¦
It is said that after Qianlu ran out of Lin Jinxiu's store with his baggage, he ran straight out of the city.
There are many villages around the county, and most of them are inhabited by poor people who cannot afford to buy land or houses in the city.
Every day, they bring home-grown vegetables or handmade products made at home to the market in the county town to sell.
Fortunately, the county guard of Yunzhu County knew that these people lived in poverty, so they issued customs clearance documents to those who did their duty in the city, so that they could avoid being checked by the officers and soldiers guarding the city every day, which was more convenient.
Qianlu and his sister lived in a small thatched hut outside the city, which looked like the one Lin Jinxiu had first placed next to the pigsty, and looked crumbling, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Sister, I'm back." Qianlu opened the door of the thatched hut and stepped into the small house.
There was almost nothing in the small house, except for a low table and thatched beds spread on the floor, which reeked of festering flesh.
There was a little girl lying on the bed, who was blinking her big eyes at Qian Lu who walked in, and called sweetly: "Brother." β
