Chapter 4 Cooked water
Li Qing on the side saw it, envious and glad: "Thanks to your quick response, otherwise something happened to the screen, and we would have to have a meal when we go back." Wen Shu, who was guessing the value of the red cover, nodded in agreement.
If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have reacted so quickly and subconsciously, although the thing was broken, the department would not ask them to compensate in full, but they still had to bear joint and several responsibilities, such as dismissal or deduction of monthly money.
Although she came to work at the top of the job, she had no money to press on the company, and it was impossible for the department to deduct her monthly silver, but the tiger who guaranteed her was killed, because of this, she always carried out the spirit of twelve points, lest she make mistakes and affect others.
Looking at Li Qing with an envious face at this moment, Wen Shu's heart moved slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, she quietly opened the red envelope, and took out the Jiaozi inside to take a look, but saw that it was five pieces of 200 Wen, a total of money.
After thinking for a moment, she took out two from the inside, handed them to Li Qing and said, "Brother Li, this is for you." ”
Li Qing didn't expect her to act like this, so she took a few steps back in shock, shook her head and said, "Brother Wen, what are you doing?" “
Wen Shu said with a smile: "Today, I will guard this screen with Brother Li, if we are derelict in our duties, neither of us will be able to run away from punishment, both glory and loss, this is rewarded, and we should also share Brother Li's share." ”
"No, no." Li Qing hurriedly shook his head: "It's all your work to save the adults today, I haven't done half of my strength, how can I get the money, besides, if you don't react quickly, I will have to eat a meal when I go back if something happens to the screen, and now the screen is fine, it is already stained with your light, how can I lick my face and ask for your silver money again." ”
Seeing him say this, Wen Shu was not reluctant, smiled and pulled back a handicap, and then stuffed the remaining one into his hand.
"You are..."
"Today's red envelope is really an unexpected joy, the kid has not been cared for by Brother Li in the past, this money is a little bit of my heart, and today's Yushi Mansion is holding a full moon banquet, Brother Li shared the money, and he was also happy."
Who doesn't like to listen to this obedient words, not to mention Wen Shu's words, but it is going to reach Li Qing's heart.
He is twenty-three this year and has been married for two years, but the lady in the family has not given birth to a boy and a girl. His mother was anxious to go to incense at home every day, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious when he listened to it every day, and now that Wen Shu said this, he only felt that it was a good sign, and he would collect the money happily immediately.
"Cheng, then I will borrow your auspicious words, if there is anything he wants to help in the Japanese Division, just say it, if you can help, I will not refuse."
"Hey, then thank you Brother Li for taking care of me." Wen Shu was overjoyed, but in fact, he had another consideration in his heart.
She has been the top worker of the fourth division of Baolai Wang Ji by Huzi not ten times, but also seven or eight times, although she has dealt with this Brother Li a few times, she has not had a deep friendship.
Now with this reason, I want to see if this Brother Li is a greedy person for money and righteousness, and whether he is worthy of deep friendship, and secondly, he also has the intention of currying favor.
Don't they all say that money is the best way to test people's hearts?
She disguised herself as a woman and came out to eat mixed rice, although she was well-dressed, it was inevitable that there would be a time when she was a little secret, and now she was a little kind, and she just hoped that one day when she leaked out of the horse's feet, these people who get along with each other on weekdays can remember the past feelings, show mercy under their mouths, and protect one or two times.
Fortunately, the result is not bad, this Brother Li is not a person who sees money, thinking of this, Wen Shu is very comfortable.
At the next day, after handing over to Steward Li, Wen Shu took the eighty literary money she had just received and Wang Yushi rewarded her with the remaining eight hundred literary money, and trotted all the way back to the coffin shop.
Before entering the shop, she deliberately looked outside the door for a while, and saw that only her father was buried in the shop, and there were no outsiders, so she stepped in and called out to Dad.
Wentai was in a hurry, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the sound: "I'm back, go wash your hands, in the kitchen, I left you a stalk of cooked water." ”
As soon as he heard that there was boiled water, Wen Shu immediately smiled, "How did Dad know that I was thirsty?" ”
"It's been a busy afternoon, how can you not be thirsty, go quickly, and wash your face by the way." Wentai urged.
"Hey, got it." Wen Shu jumped to the backyard in response.
When she went to the backyard, she first went to her room and put the wages and gifts in her arms into the clay pot under the bed, and then counted them again to confirm that they were correct, and then she went to the well to fetch water to wash her face and wash her hands with satisfaction.
If you want to say that today is really happy from the sky, carefully calculate, now the money in her hand plus the one she just got today, has been saved almost a half, according to this progress, I want to work hard for two or three months, I can help my father buy back that pair of waist supports.
Thinking of her father's back injury, Wen Shu couldn't help but feel guilty.
If it weren't for the fact that she ran to the roof to pick up the keys three years ago, her father was afraid that she would fall down, so he hurriedly ran over to catch her, and he wouldn't have stepped on the moss by the well and broke his waist.
Since then, whenever it rains and colds, her father's back injury will have a once-in-a-bit attack, ranging from soreness and pain to not being able to get out of bed.
She couldn't see it, and once dragged him to see all over the medical hall in Bianjing, but in the end, she only came to the conclusion that she could not be cured and could only be slowly raised.
But the family is in the longevity business, in order to make a living, his father can't be idle, this day bending over to make a coffin, over the years, the back injury is getting more and more serious.
She finally found out that Jishitang in the south of the city has a kind of waist protection, which is worn on the body on weekdays to have a maintenance effect, and it can also relieve the pain when the back injury occurs, but the price is a little expensive, and the inner core has to be replaced every six months, and the money is consistent.
She turned around and told her father about it, but her father refused to live or die, and said that he was a liar, saying that he had that spare money, so it was better to save it for her as a dowry.
She tried several times to persuade to no avail, so she had no choice but to disguise herself and go out to pick up the job, thinking that she would save some private house and secretly buy it back for her father, and then he would not be able to take it back again.
Thinking that he was about to get closer and closer to that goal, Wen Shu was overjoyed.
After washing his hands and face, he went back to the room to change back into his daughter's daily clothes, and then combed his hair into a normal style, and then walked slowly to the kitchen.
In the southwest corner of the kitchen, a brown clay pot sits on a small stove half a foot high, and the vent of the lid of the clay pot is bubbling out.
Wen Shu approached and lifted the lid, and suddenly a warm breath enveloped the fragrance of rice.
Seeing that the clay pot was full of cooked water, thinking that her father should not have drunk it yet, she took out two large porcelain bowls from the cupboard, scooped a spoonful of sugar from the bamboo bucket with white sugar next to it and stirred it well, and then took the bowl to the front shop one by one.
"Dad, stop, drink a bowl of cooked water to quench your thirst first." "Yo, A-Ning is here, I didn't go to study today."
By the door of the shop, a thin middle-aged man holding a sack of wooden flowers stopped to greet Wen Shu.
"Uncle Sun." Wen Shu shouted, and hurriedly handed over the cooked water in his hand: "I'll only go tomorrow, the uncle came just in time, the freshly boiled cooked water is still hot, and the uncle will come with a bowl to warm his belly." ”
The man waved his hand again and again: "No, no, there is one at home." ”
"The family is the family, and the uncle also tastes my family, see the difference in my family."
"That's it, what's the excuse for a bowl of cooked water, there are still a lot of them in the kitchen, hurry up and drink it." Wen Tai helped on the side, while taking the cooked water in Wen Shu's hand.
Sun Heping and Wen Shu were very familiar with each other, and when they heard that they were not polite, they took it with a smile: "Thank you A-Ning, yesterday your aunt also said that the weather has been good recently, and you have to make moldy tofu, and when it is ready, I will get some for you to taste." ”
"Hey, that's a good dare, the taste of the moldy tofu made by the aunt is really a must, who doesn't know the whole alley, you can't buy this flavor outside, if you want me to say, if the aunt makes something to sell in the market, she will definitely make money."
The man laughed at the amusement, shook his head and said, "I think, it's just that your aunt is not in good health, and it's okay to cook for herself, but it's unbearable to sell too much." ”
Thinking of Aunt Sun's body that can breathe after walking a few steps, Wen Shu could only comfort: "It's going to be fine, Auntie's illness is not a serious illness, take care of it, it will be fine one day." ”
"I hope so." Sun Heping sighed, handed the bowl back to Wen Shu, and said with a smile: "The tea is also drunk, the wood flowers are also loaded, your aunt is still waiting for me to go back to clean the wooden cage for her, I will leave first." ”
"Okay, Uncle often comes to play when he has time."
