Pomegranate Hua and Jinbao rushed to the construction site, and Zhan Gongzi and Yang Laosi were already waiting.

When Zhan Gongzi saw the pomegranate flower, he bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "There is Miss Lao in the matter here, and after the matter is completed, Zhan will not forget the girl's kindness." ”

The pomegranate flower was also slightly blessed, and said with a faint smile: "Master Zhan doesn't have to be polite, I will agree to come, and I will do my best to help you do a good job of the foundation." ”

Deal with it properly, behave without a sense of self-contained cowardice, even if the ladies in the city are just like that, is this really an illiterate village girl?

Zhan Gongzi's thoughts were like a tide, but his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, and his tone was gentle and peaceful: "I have prepared a room for the girl in the inn, and the girl can go back to the inn to rest after she is busy, and someone will arrange three meals a day for the girl." ”

"There's Lao Zhan's son bothered." Pomegranate flowers are also not polite, going out to pick up work, the hiring party should arrange room and board.

"It should be." After Zhan Gongzi finished politely, he explained that if he had other needs, he could go to the inn to find him, and then left first.

Yang Laosi sent Zhan Gongzi to board the car and leave, and approached the pomegranate flower with a haha, "Girl, uncle will take you to see the foundation groove dug before?" ”

Seeing this, Liuhua smiled in her heart, and nodded with a serious face, "Trouble Uncle Yang, you will lead the way." ”

Yang Laosi was messy for a while.

Pomegranate finally burst out laughing.

Due to the rainy season, the project did not progress much.

After inspecting the oil mill construction site, Pomegranate asked about the specific height and materials of Yang Laosi's building, and probably had the bottom in his heart, and the detailed parameters needed to be calculated before they could come out.

Due to the lack of time to work, most of the workers returned home, and Yang Laosi saw that Jinbao and his son were tall and strong, so they were responsible for guarding the materials, but the wages were less than when they were working.

Being idle at home is also idle, regardless of food, housing, and wages, how can the father and son of Jinbao's family be unhappy with this errand. The four of them were on duty in shifts, dedicated and responsible, and they were very happy with Yang Laosi.

Pomegranate and Jinbao father and son talked to each other, and then prepared to go back to the inn to settle down.

Tang Yuanrong asked Jinbao to send it, but the pomegranate flower did not refuse, the two talked and laughed while walking, and slowly walked towards the Yuanxiang Inn.

Yuanxiang Inn is in the most lively North Street, when you walk to the intersection of North and South Streets, you can see that a shop next to the street is full of people, and there is a noise.

Curious, Pomegranate and Jinbao ran over and went into the crowd to see the excitement.

It's a restaurant with only five or six tables inside and some steamed buns on the outside.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman was grabbing the ear of a seven or eight-year-old boy and scolding: "Little cub, how many times did you come back to steal it today?" I finally caught you, I didn't take the right path at a young age, and I learned some indiscriminate things like stealing chickens and dogs, didn't your mother teach you to learn well? ”

The boy's clothes were patched, but his hands and face were clean, not like a beggar begging for food.

"My mother is sick, she can't get out of bed, there is no rice at home, I want to take some food back to my mother, not steal. Auntie, I'll give it to you when I have money. The boy explained to the woman with a weeping voice.

The woman refused to believe the boy's words, and continued to scold: "Bah, the restaurant I open is not a canteen, and if every thief had said like you, wouldn't my shop have been closed long ago." ”

Xu was watched by many people, the boy was ashamed and anxious, and tears rolled down, "I'm really not a thief, my family lives in Taoye Lane on South Street, auntie, you can go with me to take a look." ”

"I'll go with you to see if you want to do the shop's business? Besides, as soon as I let go on the way, you ran away? What do you say to give money, and give the money for the bun that stole me two days ago first. So saying, the woman began to search the boy's body.

The boy kept wiping away tears, but stubbornly did not cry.

The woman searched all the corners of the boy's garment, but she did not find a single copper coin.

The woman refused to stop, and scolded and picked the boy's clothes, "Look at your little cub is very clean, I don't believe that there is not a single copper on your body." Wait until I find out, and see that I don't pick your skin. ”

"Auntie, I really don't have any money, don't pick my clothes." The boy cried and struggled desperately, but unfortunately his strength was too weak to break free from the woman's hands.

At this time, the onlookers were a little overwhelmed and spoke out to persuade each other.

"Boss, didn't this kid get your steamed buns, why did you do so much."

"Yes, one steamed bun is only a penny, what does it matter if you open such a big shop and give two steamed buns to others to eat."

"I think so too, look at how pitiful this kid is!"

"It's ......."

When the woman heard that all the people around her were talking to the boy, her face turned green with anger, and she opened her throat and shouted, "You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, do you?" This little cub is not the first time to come back to steal steamed buns today, two days ago I was busy greeting customers in the store, only to see him in front of the stall thief head thief around, and then the steamed buns are less. There were few customers in the shop today, and I clearly saw him stretching out his paws to get steamed buns. You said that steamed buns were cheap, but you gave the money for him! Give the money, and I'll let him go. ”

The onlookers, you look at me, I look at you, but no one pays for it.

When the woman saw this, she snorted in disdain, and went on to take off the boy's clothes.

"I'll give it for him." The pomegranate couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to stop the woman.

All eyes were on her for a moment, and even the boy stopped struggling and looked at the pomegranate with tears in his eyes.

"You're going to give it, aren't you?" The woman looked at the pomegranate flower coldly for a while, let go of the boy and stretched out his hand, "The little cub took two steamed buns and three steamed buns from me two days ago, a total of seven yuan. ”

"Okay." The pomegranate flower calmly untied her purse, counted out ten cents from the inside and gave it to the woman, and said, "You take three more steamed buns to him." ”

The boy froze, staring at the pomegranate blossom with wide eyes in disbelief.

The woman took the money, looked the pomegranate up and down, and sneered: "I am just the daughter of a poor family, and I want to pretend to be the eldest lady with a swollen face." ”

Pomegranate smiled, and did not argue with the woman, but squatted down, took out a handkerchief to wipe the boy's tears, and said softly: "Sister believes that you are not a thief, you must have encountered unsolvable difficulties, right?" Tell my sister if it's okay, and my sister wants to help you. ”

The boy stared at the pomegranate flower for a moment, then nodded.

The woman who opened the restaurant wrapped three steamed buns and stuffed them into the hands of pomegranate flowers, and began to drive people: "You have to pretend to be a good person and put it aside, don't stop me from doing business at the door of my shop." ”

Without looking at the woman, she got up and took the boy by the hand, and walked across the street to the other side of the street amid many strange eyes.

Jinbao scratched his head and followed.

The onlookers saw that there was no excitement to see, and immediately dispersed.

There were people on the street, and no one paid attention to the three people on the side of the street.

The boy told Pomegranate that he had never seen his father since he was born, and that his mother had raised him alone since he was a child.

A few days ago, his mother was very sick and couldn't work, and the rice at home was also eaten, and his hungry mother was also hungry, and he couldn't get anything to beg for food, so he really had no choice, so he went to the bun stall to get it. When my mother gets better, I will send it when I make money.

After listening to the boy, Pomegranate asked, "Has your mother seen the doctor?" The doctor said, "What disease does your mother have?" ”

The boy shook his head and replied, "My mother usually makes money by helping the neighbors wash their clothes and sew and mend them, which is only enough to eat, and there is no money at home to go to the doctor." ”

When she heard this, she said decisively: "Let's go, take my brothers and sisters to see your mother at home." ”

The boy flashed his eyes and innocently asked the pomegranate: "Sister, aren't you afraid that I am a liar?" ”

Pomegranate smiled, pinched the boy's face and said, "What can you lie to me?" Is it just these few steamed buns? If you really meet someone who needs to be deceived even for steamed buns, then it doesn't matter if you are deceived. ”

The boy also laughed, and said in a chattering voice: "Sister, you are so good, I have been begging for food everywhere these days, but no one is willing to give it to me, saying that I am too clean, not like Hanako." But my mother told me since I was a child that it doesn't matter if you wear it, but you must love it cleanly. If you don't love cleanliness, you will easily get sick, and if you get sick and don't have money to see a doctor, you will ......"

At this point, the boy suddenly stopped talking.

Pomegranate looked at him, but saw that the boy's eyes were full of tears again.

Pomegranate and Jinbao glanced at each other, and the boy cried loudly "wow", crying and saying: "Sister, my mother has no money to see a doctor, and she will leave me soon, right, I will become a motherless child, woo woo ......"

The boy cried heartily, and Pomegranate and Campbell were helpless.
