The swallow is still hungry with her, she can't give up easily, and if it's a big deal, she will go to another house to ask.

After a few steps, the door reopened, and a whole packet of matchboxes fell out and landed at their feet.

Lu Xiaoya turned around and showed a grateful expression: "Thank you, Grandma Wu." Then let the swallow learn to say, "Thank you, mother-in-law." ”

"Thank you, ma'am."

"You don't have to pay it back."

Grandma Wu bolted the door again, although her attitude was cold, at least her heart was not bad. Lu Xiaoya washed the enamel jar, which could hold half of the water, took the match and made a fire smoothly, and after the water boiled, put the wild vegetables inside.

When cooking, the swallow is hungry and swallows saliva.

There are a lot of wild vegetables, and the swallows eat a lot alone, and Lu Xiaoya changed the water and boiled it several times, and the two of them felt a little full.

"Grandma, it's delicious."

Swallow licked the corners of her mouth, smiled and said these words to her, her breath was choked, and her throat was sore.

What ingredients, wild vegetables without even salt, delicious to have ghosts.

"Swallow ......" Lu Xiaoya couldn't help hugging Yanzi and choked up: "Mom will never let you suffer again in the future." ”

"Mom promises you to eat fish and meat every day."

"Grandma, don't cry, ugly."

“……”

The two of them ate and drank enough, and at night, there was no lighting in the room, it was very dim, the two snuggled and talked, shouting that the frightened swallow hummed and chirped a few times and there was no sound, Lu Xiaoya looked at it, the little guy didn't know when he fell asleep, his heart was soft, he held her in his arms, and gently patted his back with his palm.

Sure enough, the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, and compared to other three-year-old children, Yanzi is simply too obedient and sensible.

Lu Xiaoya, who thought she would not be able to sleep, also fell into a deep sleep after holding a wooden stick against the door panel.

The next morning, Lu Xiaoya felt full of strength, her body didn't hurt much, and her vitality was like a cactus growing in the desert, with an inexplicable tenacity.

Before the swallow woke up, she went to the mountains, picked mushrooms and wild vegetables, and luckily picked up a nest of birds' eggs. When he returned, Lu Xiaoya took some water celery, shepherd's cabbage and a few bird eggs and sent them to Grandma Wu to express her gratitude.

Grandma Wu's attitude was still very cold, and she kept a straight face and didn't say anything, but she didn't accept it. She has inconvenient legs and feet, and even if she has some savings, she will not refuse food.

Lu Xiaoya put down her things with a smile, turned around and cooked the rest of the eggs, and after the swallow smelled the smell and woke up, the two of them peeled the shell and ate it.

Later, Grandma Wu, who was cold-faced and soft-hearted, sent sweet potatoes, salt, aluminum bowls and a straw mat over, Lu Xiaoya felt that she didn't want to pick up a lot of firewood for the old man, and she jumped the water tank to the full, which was not considered to take advantage of the other party in vain.

The problem of food and clothing was temporarily solved, but he had been staying in the backward Xijing Village, and there was no way to make money at all, and even going back to his old job had become a luxury, so Lu Xiaoya made a decision and decided to go to the county the next day.

She knew the road to Yuncai County, and it was about a two-hour walk. In the past, Wang Guizhi asked her to go every time she worked roughly, carrying large bags and small bags.

In this era, going out is all about walking, and the number of meat stamps and food stamps in the market is slowly decreasing, and the basic use of small denominations of renminbi or coins of a few cents.

In the afternoon, Lu Xiaoya had an idea in her heart to wash and dry the braids that reached her knees.

The next day, she changed into clean clothes and set out with the sleeping swallow on her back before the sun was rising.

Fortunately, I rushed early in the morning, and I didn't meet anyone on the road, but when I arrived at the county seat, Lu Xiaoya's originally tattered soles had two holes, and they were a little painful from being ground by the stones, so I endured it for the time being.

There were a lot of people coming and going, some were farmers rushing to the market, some were workers in overalls, and they were basically more decent, the same as in their minds. On both sides of the relatively wide road, there are supply and marketing cooperatives, purchasing stations, county hospitals, bazaars, and various breakfast stalls, private stalls, and the rest are some factories, valve factories, power plants, silk factories, etc., and the street is not lively.

When Lu Xiaoya was looking around, the swallow rubbed his eyes and moved, his eyes full of curiosity about everything unfamiliar around him.

The two of them happened to be standing next to a shop that sold breakfast, and as soon as the steamer on the coal stove was opened, it was steaming, and the white jade-like buns were constantly drilling into the noses of the mother and daughter.

The swallow swallowed his saliva and stared at the bun, but he didn't ask for it for a long time.

As a three-year-old girl, she was sensible and distressed to Lu Xiaoya, thinking of this, she said softly: "Yanzi, mom will buy you buns to eat in a while." ”

The swallow hung his face and muttered: "I don't eat...... Not hungry. "It's very against your will, and you have no confidence.

Lu Xiaoya saw it in her eyes, her eyes became more and more determined, and she couldn't help but lead Yanzi into a barber shop. The boss looked her up and down, her appearance was peugeot, her clothes were stumbling, and the smile she had just squeezed out suddenly took it back, and said in a dry tone: "Eight cents for adults and five cents for children." ”

"Do you have braids?" Lu Xiaoya directly untied the head rope, because the twist was relatively loose, and the black and long hair was scattered, very straight and elegant.

The boss's eyes lit up, and he simply said, "Accept it." ”

Lu Xiaoya felt that all the nutrition of the past 19 years was absorbed by the hair, and bargained with the barber shop owner and finally sold it for 9 yuan, who made her anxious to use the money, it was inevitable that the boss would press the price, if she met a suitable buyer, this braid could be sold for at least a dozen yuan, Wang Guizhi had no less idea of braiding. In the past, Lu Xiaoya was certainly cowardly, but only her hair and daughter were very serious.

twisted her braids, and Lu Xiaoya had a short ear-length hair. In the mirror, her face is small and her facial features are beautiful, and she is thin and white, which makes her feel a little delicate and girly. Lu Xiaoya still has time to appreciate her face for the first time, she is seven or eight points similar to her in the 21st century, with a height of 160, that is, her cheeks are thin, her apricot eyes are huge, and she will be more beautiful if she is fatter.

Yanzi praised stupidly: "Grandma, beautiful." "The boss also slapped a bunch of heartfelt rainbow farts.

However, now I don't have the time to be intoxicated by my appearance, and when I turned my head out, Lu Xiaoya bought two hot meat buns for Yanzi as promised, and the little guy was so excited that he almost jumped up. The mother and daughter pushed back and forth, and the last one ate one and drank a bowl of bean curd, and the swallow showed two pointed little tiger teeth, which were cute and cute.

Seeing Yanzi's satisfied smile, Lu Xiaoya instantly became motivated.

Walking around the bazaar, she secretly wrote down the prices. At this time, it is best to do business, set up a small stall to sell something, and if nothing else, she will be a business boss in the future, the problem is that she must make the capital first.

"Go and see, there's a job hunting over there!"

Lu Xiaoya looked at it, everyone was running towards the door of a newly opened silk factory, and a notice was posted on the dusty wall, crowded with people.

The work in the silk factory is a fragrant, refined, intense, and high-paying, and this is an opportunity. Ignoring the noisy smells, Lu Xiaoya led the swallow to squeeze in on tiptoe, stood in a good position, read the content carefully, and roughly said to recruit a group of 16 to 25-year-old female car blocking workers, those with a local household registration primary school education or above and able to bear hardships and stand hard work are preferred, and the salary is negotiable.

The female comrades in charge of recruitment shouted impatiently, and if you meet the conditions, go to the general affairs office to report your name, and don't make a mess if you don't meet the requirements.

Lu Xiaoya was about to withdraw, when she felt that her palms were empty, and her eyes immediately darkened, and her face changed suddenly.

The swallow is gone!!
